Join Paul F. Aubin for an in-depth discussion in this video Fine detail abacus, part of HBIM: Historic Building Re-creation.
- So let's start digging into our fine detail version of our capital. You may recall that the capital is actually made up of several nested families, and one of the first ones we looked at in the medium detail version was the one that I'm illustrating on screen here. This was the abacus and the bell. So the bell was just a simple cylindrical form here, and the abacus was just this simple extrusion at the top with the wedge-shaped sides. Now, switching over to Revit, I've created a starting file here for our fine detail version, and you'll notice that the sides are now using these curves.
So that makes them a little bit more detailed and a little bit more appropriate for our fine detail representation. Now what I want to do here, is you may recall in the medium detail version, that we talked about this rig here, this collection of reference lines that was used to drive the shape of this form. And I've copied that rig off to the side, so that we can dig into it a little bit more detailed. And what I want to do in specific is, I want to create the missing arc. So you can see I've only got three arcs right now, I want to add the fourth one in here. And so to do that, we can dig a little deeper into some of the features of this whole rig approach.
So, the key is to use a Reference Line, and more importantly, to use the Reference Line with 3D Snapping. 3D Snapping is a very powerful feature that allows us to, of course, snap to things in 3D, as its name implies, but, if we're using this option here, which should turn on by default, this Draw on Face option, then it also creates relationships and connections between the various parts and pieces, so, what we want to do here, is make sure that this is on, make sure 3D snapping is on, and then notice that you're able to highlight one of the existing reference lines.
So I'm going to click right on this one, and then come across and click on that one. And I'll cancel out of the command. Now I deliberately drew it at a angle there, just to kind of show you the way this works. Notice that you can select one of those points now, and a couple things, you're going to see a small little plane going through that point, and, if you look at is over on the Properties palette, it will have this Normalized Curve Parameter. Now, we talked about that in the previous movie, but if you want, you can manipulate this, and change the value, and notice that that actually drives the location of the Associated Reference Line.
And so that's really the key, that's what we're looking for, is that as these points move around, they're changing the shape of this Reference Line. So, I need one more thing for my rig. I still have to locate where this midpoint is. So all I need to do, is click the Point Element, and once again, make sure that Draw on Face is turned on, it should by default, but that's a really important aspect of this, and this time, I want to click right on this line, but specifically, exactly at the midpoint. Now when you do that, sometimes it doesn't show up right away, so, if you just pan the screen it will make it appear.
Cancel out of the command, and you should now have a point right there, that point, when you look at the properties, should be at exactly 0.5. And we're going to leave it there. So all that means now, is, if you come back and take this point, and drag it, not only is it changing the shape of the overall line, but notice that it keeps moving that point, but that point there remains at the midpoint. And so that's really the key, is we're building this rig that's a connection of pieces. So the overall rectangle that was already here, is being driven by these two parameters.
And then, when those parameters flex, it changes the locations of these two reference points. When those points flex, it changes the length of the line. And when the line's length or angle changes, it changes the location of this reference point. So it's the hip bone connected to the knee bone, knee bone connected to the shin bone, and so on. Right, so you're kind of getting all of these interconnected relationships that will drive everything without the need for a bunch of extra parameters. I do need one parameter, I need a parameter to say how far off the corners I want these Reference Points to be placed.
Now, I've already got that parameter. If we look over here, at one of the existing points, scroll down, it's currently at 9.78, and, it's actually using Segment Length. So, what we need to do is actually two things here, I need to take these two points, and I'm just going to hold my Ctrl key down, and select both points, it should say Reference Points (2) here. And if it says anything other than Reference Points, then you want to try and select again. So it needs to say Reference Points. And, when we scroll down, it's currently set to Normalized Curve Parameter.
Which, if you recall, is a value between zero and one. So it's sort of a percentage along the length of the line. Well, we want to change that to Segment Length, so that we can set the distance in units, instead. So, I'll set it directly in units, and then, maybe try a value of about 18. Okay, now I'm just making up a number here, but, notice what happened. This one is measuring 18 from this corner, this one is measuring 18 from this corner. So we're almost there, but we want them both to measure from the same side.
So, I'm going to select only this point, and then scroll down here, and instead of measuring from the beginning, I'm going to measure from the end. And then when I change this to 18, notice that it now snaps to the other end. So now, I'll select both points again, and I don't really want it at 18, I want it at that 9.78, right? Well I've already got a parameter for that, so instead of setting 9.78 here, I'll just click in this Associate Family Parameter button, and choose the parameter that I've called Abacus Midpoint.
And the reason I called it Abacus Midpoint, is because ultimately this line, is setting where the midpoint of this curve is, so that's why I named it that. But anyway, you can see that it moves, and sets this to 9.78, or whatever that value was. So now I'm ready to draw my arc. Now your arc is also going to be a Reference Line. So I'm going to click Reference Line, and I want the Start-End Radius Arc. Now the Start-End Radius Arc also can use 3D Snapping, which is really powerful, because if you pick your points, so you now have an arc, that has these Reference Points that control the shape of the arc.
Now here's the thing that's a little counter intuitive about this. Let me delete this one. Go back to here, Start-End Radius Arc. Turn on 3D Snapping, make sure that this Draw on Face is turned on. If you click on an existing point, so just put your mouse right over that existing point, up at the top there. If it doesn't highlight and say point, you can type SX on your keyboard to force it to snap to that point, but it should find it on its own. When you click that point, it won't draw a new point, it will inherit the one that's already there.
So I'm going to come down here and pick this one, not this one, but this one, right here. That's my end point, and then, finally, this one is going to be the midpoint of that arc. And click it again. And if I cancel the command, do a little window selection around one of those points, notice there's only one point there. Notice there's only one point here. So when you click directly on that point with 3D Snapping, Revit is smart enough to just assume the existing point and not create another one in the same spot.
So now you should have a nice chain here, and if I highlight, you'll see that it highlights all the curves and there's actually four little straight lines in there, as well, so when you click, it should select eight elements. So over here, it should say Reference Lines (8). If it says anything else, then you want to double-check your selection. And with that selected, you can click the Create Form button and it will suggest either a Solid or a Plane. Now, I'll click Solid there, and it extrudes it up. But you may recall that our column capital actually is built down, so what I can do, is come over here on the Properties palette, and the bottom, I want actually at 11 and a half parts, or 11 and a half units below, and the top I don't want to go up at all, so I want to set that to zero.
So when I just set those two numbers there, and apply it, you'll see it pop down to the correct location, just like it is over here. Now, to finish this up, the molding is not actually just squared off like this, it actually has a nice set of molding curves that uses some OG Profiles and so on, so, it turns out that I've already placed a separate family here in the file. Now, one of the things you need to know about the Masking Environment is we can do things that are, basically just like Sweeps, but you can't use a Profile to drive a Sweep in the Masking Environment.
Everything that you build in the Masking Environment has to be 3D geometry, or it has to use model lines, or Reference Lines. So, the way to work around that, is you can actually just create a Generic Model Family, in the Traditional Family Editor, and draw model lines in that family. And that's what I have right here, so I'm going to select this family, and click Edit Family. And that's just going to take me to the Traditional Masking Environment. This is a face-based family, so it's got a generic face here. And if we look at it in Plan View, you know, it looks a little bit complicated, but, there's a couple curves here that are being driven by some formulas, and there's a little bit of trigonometry in here to make all these curves work correctly.
We have a course here, in the library, called Family Curves and Formulas, and I detail in there exactly how to create this kind of curvature, and where to get that center point exactly, and how to set that formula. So if you want to learn more about how this was approached, you can watch that course, or watch the movies on creating OG Curves in that course. But meanwhile, I've got this file already here and ready to go, so let me just close it, I'm not going to save it. And all we have to do, to create 3D Form from this, is come back and select our same chain of Reference Lines.
That chain of Reference Lines, it should say Reference Lines (8) again, it's the four arcs and the four little short lines, that's going to be the path of our Sweep. Then we're going to hold down the Ctrl Key, and click this Generic Model. That's going to be our Profile. So in the Masking Environment, you always select your geometry first, and then you just click Create Form. And you can see there's only that single Create Form button there. Now the way this is going to work is, Revit will be smart enough to figure out that you've got a Profile, or a Generic Model in this case, perpendicular to the path, so it will assume that you want a swept form.
Now, I could do a Solid Sweep, but actually, in this case, what I want to do is create a Void Form. And, when I do that, you see it will take this shape that we have, and treat it almost like a router bit, and it goes around and it kind of carves that away from the entire molding. And you can see the final result looks like that. Now if you put your mouse over here, and you kind of Tab a few times, you can get that 3D form, and you can see that that's the Void Form, right there that it created. If I isolate that, right, you can see what that looks like.
So it just swept that shape all the way around. And let me just reset the Isolate there. And that's the final version of our fine detail abacus and bell.

Metropolitano de Lisboa and the ” Recuperar Portugal ” Mission Structure signed the financing contracts for the development of metro projects from the country’s Recovery and Resilience Plan 2026.
EUR 554 million is the total value of the financing which will support the implementation of two metro projects in the Portuguese capital.
EUR 304 million will be provided for the “Lisbon Metro Network Expansion – Red Line to Alcântara” project and EUR 250 million will support the Odivelas – Loures light rail line. These investments and financing have a deadline for completion for December 2025.
Lisbon Red Line project covers the construction of a 4 km metro extension and four new stations connecting São Sebastião and Alcântara, with three stations at Amoreiras, Campo de Ourique and Infante Santo. The Alcântara stations will be provide transport connection with the future Sustainable Intermodal Line that will promote the connection to the municipality of Oeiras (LIOS Ocidental).
The light rail line will have a total length of 12.1 km served by 18 stations connecting Hospital Beatriz Ângelo to Infantado, with a transfer to the Yellow Line at Odivelas station. In July, the metro company and the municipalities of Odivelas and Loures signed an agreement to develop the new connection providing transport link to Lisbon centre. 6.7 km and 10 stations will be constructed in Loures and in Odivelas the line will be 5.4 km-long with 8 stations serving five areas. The authorities are planning to launch the construction and train tenders by the end of 2022 which will determine the completion of the project by the end of 2025.
Currently, the capital is carrying out the works for the connection of the Yellow and Green metro lines which will create a circular line. EUR 216 million is the total value of the contract including EUR 50 million for the rolling stock procurement. In May 2021, the consortium of Stadler and Siemens Mobility won a EUR 114.5 million for train and signalling system supply. Last year, the project has received EUR 83 million European funding from the Cohesion Fund and a EUR 127.2 million national support from the Environment Fund.


Welcome to the Amphibian Embryology Tutorial! This tutorial is part of an ongoing project designed to implement multimedia and computer-based learning materials in the university undergraduate classroom. The materials presented here are NOT designed to replace either hard work outside of class wrestling with the dynamic nature of embryonic development, nor are they meant as a substitute for "wet lab" experience using a real microscope and real embryos. Instead, this tutorial is meant to supplement the presentation of standard videotape, laser video, digitized video and animation sequences in the traditional lecture period. A common comment in student evaluations is the wish for more opportunities to interact with the visual data presented in class in a more "hands-on" manner. This tutorial is designed as a beginning step in that process.

C.H. Robinson continues to expand its global footprint with its second acquisition of 2019. The company has acquired Dema Service, an Italian-based provider of European road transportation.
“The acquisition of Dema Service is an exciting milestone for C.H. Robinson and will strengthen our existing footprint in Italy, one of the largest road transportation markets in Europe. We are eager to work with Dema Service’s customers to offer our full suite of logistics services to help improve their supply chains,” Jeroen Eijsink, President of Europe for C.H. Robinson said.
The company recently acquired the freight forwarding group Space Cargo, which expanded C.H. Robinson’s presence in Spain and Columbia.
Dema Service is a privately-owned logistics company providing road transportation services across Europe. Headquartered in Pescara, Italy, Dema Service has approximately 100 employees and three offices located in Italy, Poland and Czech Republic.
“We are excited to join C.H. Robinson, one of the world’s largest third-party logistics (3PL) providers, and contribute to the company’s strong presence in Europe. Our extensive local market knowledge in combination with C.H. Robinson’s global network will allow us to provide world-class service to customers,” Mauro de Lellis, Co-Founder of Dema Service said.
C.H. Robinson will integrate Dema Service into its European Surface Transportation division and single global technology platform, Navisphere.
Ford is trialling a self-driving robot to deliver spare parts around one of its manufacturing plants. The robot, nicknamed “Survival”, can dodge unforeseen objects, change its route if obstructed and stop whenever necessary.
Developed entirely by Ford engineers, the company says it is the first of its kind to be used in any of the company’s European facilities.
“We programmed it to learn the whole of the plant floor so, together with sensors, it doesn’t need any external guides to navigate,” Eduardo García Magraner, engineering manager, at Ford’s state-of-the-art body and stamping plant in Valencia, Spain, where the robot is being trialled, said.
“When it first started you could see employees thinking they were in some kind of sci-fi movie, stopping and staring as it went by. Now they just get on with their jobs knowing the robot is smart enough to work around them.”
According to Ford, delivering spare parts and welding material to different stations around the plant is a crucial element in keeping Kuga, Mondeo and S-MAX production going. For Ford workers though, the task is time-consuming and relatively mundane.
In a statement, the company said the robot does not replace employees but can save up to 40-employee hours every day by taking over this role, allowing operators to use their time on more complex tasks.
The robot is equipped with an automated shelf that has 17 slots to hold materials of different weights and sizes. To avoid errors, the opening and closing of these slots is automated, meaning operators in each area only have access to the materials assigned to them.
“Survival” is one of a number of smart robots employed in Ford’s European facilities, including the “Robutt” and co-bots in Cologne, Germany. The self-driving robot uses LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) technology to visualise its surroundings, a technology also used in Ford’s prototype autonomous vehicles.

CEVA Logistics and IKEA have celebrated the opening of a new Customer Distribution Center (CDC) at Staten Island on the US east coast.
Under a five-year deal to provide warehouse management and fulfilment services, CEVA will manage the 975,000 sq ft (906,000 sq m) site.
Built on a previously vacant 200 acre piece on land on the west shore of Staten Island, the focus of the new CDC will be on delivering items to customers who order products online or purchase larger items at an IKEA store or Planning Studio for home delivery. The facility is already fully operational and works seven days a week.
Brett Bissell, CEVA’s Chief Operating Officer, Contract Logistics, who represented the company at the recent Grand Opening, told the audience: “We have developed an excellent working relationship with IKEA where we have focused on the cultural alignment between our two companies so that we can deliver the operational excellence IKEA demands every time.
“We’ve used our logistics expertise to design and deliver solid solutions which specifically meet your needs and enable this huge facility to run effectively. We then combine the skills and experience of our operations managers and supply chain designers to make the building work for you on a day-to-day basis.”
“We are proud to partner with CEVA logistics to operate our new Staten Island fulfilment center, which has brought 200 new jobs in the market,” said Tanja Dysli, Customer Fulfillment Manager, IKEA Retail U.S. “The new facility will help meet the delivery needs of our New York-area customers whether they are shopping in our stores, the IKEA Planning Studio or online.”
CEVA and IKEA have worked together since 2015 with successful working partnerships in the UK and Australia.
Volkswagen Financial Services is further expanding with the 60 per cent acquisition of Fleet Logistics, Europe’s largest fleet management company operating in more than 70 countries.
According to Volkswagen, the goal is to create a complete range of products and services for the customer in which travel and fleet management are combined.
The completion of the transaction is subject to merger control approval by the relevant antitrust authorities. Both parties have agreed not to disclose the purchase price.
“This strategic partnership enables us to deliver significant added value to our fleet customers. We have resolved to transfer the existing business model to intermodal mobility. To this end, we will be able to offer additional services from the joint venture in the future. We have also agreed to retain the brand neutrality of the vehicle portfolio and the independence of leasing companies,” says Patrick Fruth, CEO Mobility Division TÜV SÜD.
FleetLogistics was founded in 1996. The company employs around 360 people worldwide and operates in over 70 countries. Its clients include large national and international fleet customers. With a total portfolio of around 200,000 vehicles, FleetLogistics is one of the world’s largest independent providers of fleet management services. The spectrum of services is divided into three main areas: fleet management, fleet consulting and fleet reporting.
CEVA Logistics Greater China has sent the first-ever TIR (Transports Internationaux Routiers) truck from Khorgos, China via Kazakhstan to Europe.
The trial run was on 13 November, 2018 and was operated as a joint initiative between CEVA Logistics, the IRU (International Road Transportation Union) and CEVA’s partners Alblas and Jet-rail.
The truck arrived in Poland on 24 November, with no disruption or Customs issues after 11 days on the road. The closing TIR at its final destination was after 13 days on 26 November.
According to CEVA, the new road service will deliver a cost saving of about 50 per cent compared to air options. With a lead time door-to-door of between 10 to 15 days, it will be 30-50 per cent faster than rail.
Customs sealed in Khorgos, the first TIR truck from China to Europe started its 7,000 kilometers journey via Kazakhstan, Russia and Belarus to Poland in the afternoon of 13 November. It was a historic moment when the truck, operated by CEVA’s partner Alblas International Logistics, left Khorgos to cross the border into Kazakhstan.
“This is a day to remember. Together with our partners, we have trialed TIR all the way to Europe today the very first time,” Kelvin Tang, Director Road & Rail at CEVA Logistics Greater China said.
Toyota Material Handling Australia (TMHA) has supplied equipment to new cold storage market entrant, NewCold.
NewCold Melbourne opened its two warehouses in August and September, with 45 leased Toyota and BT forklifts.
Netherlands-based NewCold Advanced Cold Logistics reportedly decided to approach TMHA for its first Australian operations due to its relations with Toyota in Europe.
The 34-metre-high warehouses have a combined 40,800m2 of floor area, storage for over 200,000 pallets, 39 loading docks and operate around the clock.
One is a cold store at minus 23oC, the other a chilled store with two, eight and 11oC environments.
“This makes Toyota our material handling partner of choice, while the comprehensive service offering is unique and cost effective as well,” said Ray Perry, Director – Oceania, NewCold.
“We appreciate that Toyota does not only supply the forklift [equipment] but will also service the equipment as and when we need it.
“Being a logistics and warehouse service provider, Toyota shares common customer values with NewCold. We trust that we will benefit from TMHA’s wealth of knowledge in the industry in Australia to increase our productivity, while staying ahead of our competition.”
Jason Fennell, Corporate Account Manager at TMHA, said local discussions with NewCold began in October 2016 and a decision was made in May 2017.
“We received a request to assist NewCold from our corporate division and worked from there,” he said.
“NewCold uses a variety of suppliers and products in Europe. However, the core business is to be able to pick orders, replenish stock, load and unload required deliveries, and store required long-life stocks on a 24/7 basis.
“This is the company’s first development in Australia, so we are committed to working with them to develop the relationship and ensure we cover all the material handling requirements, as well as making this process easy for the customer.”
The initial equipment roster for NewCold’s Melbourne facilities includes 21 BT electric pallet jacks, 10 Toyota 8-Series FBE18 three-wheel electric forklifts, seven BT RRE140H reach trucks, four Toyota 32-8FG30 internal combustion forklifts, a pair of 32-8FG18 Toyota forklifts, a BT RRE250H reach truck and four battery chargers.
DHL Parcel and Volkswagen are launching a joint pilot project in Berlin in which Volkswagen will deploy 50 VW Polos to be used as mobile addresses for the delivery of their DHL parcels.
The project partners have worked in recent months to develop and test a solution for in-car delivery. The vehicles are fitted with the required equipment for in-car delivery, called ‘We Deliver’ by Volkswagen. To use the new service, customers need to register with DHL Parcel and enter their trunk as the delivery location in their customer profile.
“Since we’ve already tested car drop delivery successfully in other projects in Germany and continue to offer it for Smart drivers, we’re pleased to win Volkswagen as another partner – our partnership allows us to offer this attractive service to an even broader target group,” says Achim Dünnwald, CEO, DHL Parcel. “As an innovation leader in the parcel sector, our objective at DHL Parcel is to be able to offer in-car delivery as an option to as many recipients as possible in Germany, offering personalised processes to make the sending and receiving parcels even easier for our customers.”
The VW Polo driver will be notified via email about the delivery process and receive a delivery notice when a parcel has been delivered to the vehicle’s trunk. During the ordering process in an online shop, the driver can specify a two-hour time slot between 10am and 9pm during which DHL will deliver the parcel. For delivery, the vehicle will need to be parked in a place accessible to the parcel courier. Possible delivery sites include the office parking lot, a park-and-ride facility, or any other address at which the vehicle is located during the time slot specified during the order.
The DHL parcel courier receives the delivery location information from the DHL Delivery app, which provides vehicle’s exact position via GPS. The app also issues a single-use, time-limited code to access the vehicle. In combination with the customer-specific car ID, which the recipient receives from Volkswagen and provides as part of the delivery address, the courier can open the vehicle’s trunk. Once the courier closes the trunk, the access code is cancelled. Not only can the VW Polo drivers receive parcels, they can also leave returns in the trunk to be picked up.
E-commerce behemoth Amazon has leased its first distribution centre in Australia, ahead of the rollout of its business here in the coming 12 months.
The Australian Financial Review has shared property agent CBRE has helped the online retailer decide upon a 24,387sqm warehouse on a 7.7-hectare site formerly occupied by Bunnings in Dandenong, southeast of Melbourne in Victoria.
The facility has been vacant since Bunnings moved to another Dandenong warehouse, and has been available for lease since October 2014, the AFR added.
Amazon is also rumoured to have selected its first Sydney location. ChannelNews has reported that the company is believed to have made a deal for a large fulfilment facility in Eastern Creek, at the Oakdale Industrial Estate.
The estate is owned by the Goodman Group, the same property agent that has helped Amazon set up its warehouse network across Europe and the US.
According to ChannelNews, Amazon’s Australian warehouses will be robotic and set up by US logistics fit-out specialists in the coming months.
On Wednesday 30 March UK Prime Minister Theresa May invoked Article 50 to begin negotiations for Britain’s exit from the European Union. The British International Freight Association (BIFA) – the trade body representing the UK’s freight forwarding companies – responded with a statement noting that speculation on the outcome of the move cannot yet be made, and the Association will aid the government in traversing the path ahead for trade.
“In the run up to the UK’s eventual exit we will be working with Government to try and ensure that the movement of the UK’s visible import and export trade does not become overburdened by over complicated trade procedures,” said Robert Keen, Director General, BIFA.
“Clearly there are significant areas of concern for our members, which are responsible for much of the physical movement of that trade, over the eventual outcome, including the physical infrastructure, trade arrangements and Customs practices that will be reviewed as part of the Brexit negotiations,” he added.
“I have already gone on the record to warn about the huge number of pundits offering solutions when nobody really knows what is likely to happen in reality.
“BIFA’s focus now will be presenting the views of our members to the various government departments that we deal with, as well as working with organisations such as the Confederation of British Industry and International Chamber of Commerce to make sure that all parties negotiating the post-Brexit landscape are fully aware of the potential challenges for which they will need to find solutions.”

1. What is FORGE?
The Frontier Observatory for Research in Geothermal Energy (FORGE) will be a research site in the United States that allows scientists and engineers to develop and test new technologies for Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS). EGS are the next frontier in geothermal energy: human-made geothermal reservoirs with the potential to generate approximately 100 gigawatts (GW) of renewable, baseload power in the United States – about 10% of current U.S. power production capacity. Because EGS technology has the potential to transform the clean energy sector, the Energy Department today announced plans to launch FORGE as a field laboratory devoted entirely to accelerating our understanding of how best to create new, large-scale EGS anywhere that has accessible hot rock underground.
2. What is the purpose of FORGE?
The purpose of FORGE is to accelerate cutting-edge geothermal research that, by the conclusion of the project, could lead to replicable, commercial pathways to EGS and the growth of geothermal energy outside of just the western United States. Based on a foundation of collaboration and knowledge-sharing, FORGE will openly share its data in real-time, advancing scientific research, technology testing and instrumentation that could benefit the wider scientific community, industry and, eventually, the general public. This breakthrough research and data-sharing effort, coupled with an equally innovative collaboration and management platform, is truly a first-of-its-kind endeavor.
3. How does FORGE broaden the U.S. domestic energy portfolio?
Engineers can potentially create EGS reservoirs – designed to allow efficient heat extraction when water flows through them – anywhere we find accessible hot rock. These systems emit little to no carbon pollution, and water vapor is the only appreciable emission. EGS also have the advantage of providing reliable baseload power and can still be ramped up to generate more electricity during periods of peak demand. Currently, nearly all the 12 GW of geothermal installed capacity in the world taps naturally occurring hydrothermal resources.
4. Where will FORGE be located?
This is where you come in! To kick off the FORGE effort, the Energy Department’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) today released a funding opportunity announcement asking energy scientists, researchers and industry experts to propose candidate sites and operational teams for FORGE.
Following a rigorous review process, the Energy Department will select up to 10 potential teams – which will include a proposed FORGE operator and site – for phase one planning. During this phase, teams will complete technical and logistical assessments to demonstrate their site’s viability in achieving FORGE’s objectives. After completing the planning phase, the Energy Department may select up to three of those teams to move on to phase two, which would include permitting and site characterization work. Subject to appropriations, a single team may be selected to move to phase three to develop and operate the FORGE site.
5. What sort of research and development activities will be conducted at FORGE?
FORGE will strengthen our understanding of the key mechanisms critical to EGS success – in particular how to initiate and sustain fracture networks in rock formations using different technologies. Equipped with this knowledge, engineers at the FORGE site will design and test large-scale, economically sustainable heat-exchange systems, paving the way for a rigorous and repeatable approach to EGS that could encourage growth in this emerging industry.
Additional research planned within FORGE may include innovative drilling techniques, well connectivity, and flow-testing efforts. The project also includes around-the-clock monitoring of geophysical and geochemical data and dynamic models to synthesize, predict, and verify reservoir properties and performance. All of the research and development projects planned for FORGE will be competitively selected and open to the scientific and engineering community, small businesses, academia, and others in the subsurface industry.
6. How will FORGE be managed?
FORGE will be a collaborative effort, with participation from industry, academia, and the national labs. At its core, the FORGE effort will be guided by a proposed science, technology, and analysis team that will include representatives from the Energy Department and outside technical experts. The selected site operator will have responsibility for day-to-day operations. The Energy Department will serve as the final decision-making authority on priorities and approaches.

Ball therapy exercises
The ball is one of the simplest and most affordable tools for restoring hand mobility.
Use soft balls to train strength and hard balls to restore coordination.Try using balls of different sizes and hardness to improve your workout.
1. Power grip. Squeeze the ball with all your fingers.Try to squeeze with your pads and fingertips.
2. Pinch grip. Squeeze the ball between your thumb and the rest of your fingers. Squeeze it rhythmically on both sides.
3. Training the thumb. Roll the ball up and down the palm of your hand, bending and extending your thumb.
4. Rolling the ball on the table. Roll the ball over the surface, rolling it with your entire palm, from wrist to fingertips.
5. Squeezing with the palm. Hold the ball in the palm of your hand and squeeze it with your fingers. This exercise differs from the power grip in that you must focus on squeezing the fingers inward. Imagine trying to press your fingers directly into your palm.
6. Thumb rotation. Using your thumb in a circular motion, rotate the ball in the palm of your hand.
7. Squeezing with fingers. Squeeze the ball with any two fingers of one hand. Alternate fingers.
8. Rolling the ball. Roll the ball from side to side using your thumb.


Worst car I ever had. Bought car with 1200 miles, drove 1 year. Very uncomfortable and rough ride. Horrible gas mileage and poor pickup. Car is not made for a 5ft 11 inch 175 pound person. I had a 89 GT 5.0 so I thought I would like the newer model but should have kept the older one.
It looked good.
Better gas mileage, 12 MPG for a 3.8 is terrible. Make it a two seater and give the front passengers some room. Back seat only roomy enough for two 8 year olds anyway.

The idea for Ordoo originated from a stressfully busy lunch break. I was grabbing a fresh baguette from my favourite spot and got stuck at the back of a 15 minute queue.
I was so bored that I started to read some research on my smartphone at the back of the queue. My research at the time was on Digital Payments and, as I read this particular article, it struck me that the future of digital payments was mobile payments and mobile ordering.
I should be able to send my pre-paid order from my smartphone to the venue and collect it when they let me know it’s ready. This would save me loads of time and remove the payment and ordering steps in their operations!
So, Ordo was born. It’s not a spelling mistake. The company has changed names from Ordo to Ordable, before settling on Ordoo. Lots has changed since that day - it’s an exciting journey that I now get to share with some of my best mates…
We develop affinity
We always consider working with smart people who are a perfect fit for Ordoo – so get in touch and let us know why you would like to join the team.OPEN POSITIONS

A brief word on charcoal. Briquettes are, by far, the most popular charcoal type. They light quickly and burn consistently. However, briquettes are made with additives, and those additives produce more ash. Lump charcoal (made by an oxygen deprived burning of hardwood) has no additives, produces less ash, burns much hotter than briquettes, and imparts a slight essence of the native wood to foods. But the biggest advantage of lump over briquettes is that lump can be added directly to the fire because all of the toxins have been burned out of the lump charcoal. Briquettes must be pre-burned; that means another chimney of coals before adding to the fire.
Purchase a simple multi-tester or multi-meter for less than ten dollars and perform the following test. With the car off, leave the headlights on for about 2-3 minutes. Set an alarm so you do not drain the battery, and turn the headlights off when it goes off. This will remove any surface charge. Set the multi-tester dial so it registers in the 20 Volt DC range. You can read the multi-tester instructions or research its use online. A multi-tester is very simple to use. Touch the red lead to the positive battery terminal, and the black one to the negative. A healthy, fully charged battery should read around 12.5-12.8 Volts. This will vary with temperature (lower temperatures mean lower voltage), but should never be below 12 Volts. Another optional suggestion is to touch the black multi-tester lead to your engine or a metal part of the vehicle. If the voltage is substantially lower you may have a bad cable connection.
Now use a grease pencil and mark tile to be cut. If you only have a few cuts you can even take them to Lowes and have the tech cut alone your lines but you better be good. Now let this all dry if you have any areas where you did not install the tile do to it is not cut yet, use a putty knife and scrape the wall clean. It is much easier to clean now while wet than after it dry's clean all your tools. And let it sit for 24 hours. Come back and mix your grout, modern grout's have dry acrylic in them already but manufacturers vary so check read the label you might have to add wet additive. Now the trowel that puts grout on the wall is a hard rubber bottom that is real smooth.
The prime example of this is for those who require a method to load the items on or off of the truck will need to order a hydraulic liftgate, which is a steel mechanical platform on the back of a truck. If a liftgate has been requested, the truck driver will come equipped with a pallet jack, another type of heavy lifting device used by LTL carriers used to wheel the freight into the proper position for loading/unloading. If the shipment is light enough to be lifted manually on to the truck or the shipper has a forklift or other hoisting device, customers can forego this excess cost.
Prior to the tool, boards were cut out in partial sections, next came along a hammer and chisel. All the remaining splinters needed removal plus nails if it was a nail down fastened floor. This tool can slice nails in one pass or remove older adhesives in simple fashion. In previous days a hand held floor scraper or sharp chisel was needed for the work.
Unfortunately for older glued floating hardwood floors, the multifunction tool does not provide all the accessories to complete a repair. These floors require a groove cleanout so they can effectively fit together again. Otherwise re-attachment is not possible without the final outcome looking like a repair. They simply will not engage and you're left with a repair board that will not fit back into place. Attempting to clean the glue with hand tools may work, but will take longer and is likely to cause damage to the surface of the board itself.


Iowa leads the nation in ethanol production and for the industry to continue expanding, experts say a better delivery system is needed. Iowa Democrats Senator Tom Harkin and Representative Leonard Boswell are co-sponsoring a bill in Congress that would spend two-million dollars to study the use of pipelines for transporting the corn-based fuel. Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley, a Republican, says he’d be on-board.
Grassley says: "It would be a way of moving it very efficiently from one point of production to end usage and I would support studies in that area." The proposed study would weigh the feasibility of using new or existing pipelines to move ethanol from plants in Iowa and elsewhere to parts of the country where demand for the fuel is high.
Grassley says from what he’s learned, existing pipelines would not be a viable option. Grassley says, "The reason why a separate pipeline is necessary is that ethanol has some moisture in it, not compatible with use in petroleum pipelines or natural gas pipelines."
Ethanol is moved mostly by rail now, while pipelines are used for the bulk of gasoline, diesel and jet fuel. Iowa ethanol plants produced about one-quarter of the nation’s ethanol in 2006. The state has 25 plants in operation with at least 21 expanding or under construction.

As the description on this 30 year old vintage’ pattern says this is a “Pull-over-the-head” dress. I styled it into top, the fabric I used is the bottom of a dress that I had for ages and never wore and needed re-fashioning. The sleeve yoke was from a pair of lace tights that was ready to be disposed of, instead of a sleeve band I used elastic to give the top a softer look, rather than a hem I zig-zag the edge of the v- neck. – So this item is part refashion and part up-recycle.

10 HELPFUL TIPS TO GET YOUR VEHICLE ROAD-READY FOR FALL
Canada is one of the few countries in the world that experiences all four seasons, each with its own driving challenges. And in the autumn, sometimes you can experience all four in one day. On this page you’ll see some tips and tricks to help you navigate the roads this fall.
“Your road to more savings and a greener planet doesn’t stop at the checkout counter. Your driving habits, driving conditions and proper maintenance will affect the kind of savings you’ll achieve,” said Carolyn Goard communications manager for the Tire and Rubber Association of Canada.
--Check your breaks and tires--
If your tires have wear bars showing, it is a good idea to replace those before the Fall. As the weather gets colder be sure to check your tire pressure to ensure it meets the recommended requirements.
--Check your lights--
As Fall approaches and darkness comes earlier it is important to check that all of your lights are working properly. Headlights, taillights, parking lights, brake lights and emergency flashers, replace these if broken and make sure they are clean.
--Replace wiper blades--
Make sure your blades are in good condition. If you notice they are not clearing the windshield or the rubber is cracked it is a good idea to replace them.
--Make sure the heater/defroster work--
Test both the heater and the front and rear defroster to ensure they are properly working. If not be sure to have them fixed.
--Check your battery--
As the temperatures start to drop in the Fall season it is imperative that you have a fully charged battery. Have the battery and charging system inspected by a trained technician, especially if you see signs of corrosion or spot any loose connections.
--Inspect under the hood--
Look for leaks, cracks or loose clamps in the cooling system. Squeeze hoses and be sure to replace any that have that spongy-feeling of brittle. Don't forget to check the drive belts for fraying and replace if need be.
--Change the oil and air filter--
If it has been awhile since your last oil change be sure to get one before the Fall season, check your air filter. If you can't see light through it, it may be time to replace it.
--Refill cooling system--
Check the coolant level in the overflow tank when the engine is cold. If the level is too low, add a 50/50 solution of water and coolant to allow proper antifreeze capability. It may be necessary to refill the cooling system.
--Check all fluid levels--
Be sure to check all fluids such as transmission, washer, brake and power steering. It is a good idea to have these at or above minimum safe levels.
--Detail and wash your car--
Having a clean, detailed car will enable you to spot possible problems.

The subsequent mission to Mars received’t land a rover or drop off any people to create a colony however slightly it’s going to give researchers a greater concept of what the Red Planet’s inside is like. The spacecraft that can land and keep stationary on Mars, referred to as InSight, is presently set to launch within the 5 weeks following May 5, 2018, from the Vandenberg Air Force Base in California.
The mission was chosen by NASA out of 28 proposals for potential missions to conduct within the photo voltaic system. The mission is vital as a result of Mars may provide details about the formation and early years of rocky planets higher than Earth may. This may assist researchers higher perceive different newer planets and even exoplanets.
The title InSight comes from the operate of the craft, the Interior Exploration utilizing Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport. The five-week launch window places the craft on monitor to reach at Mars the Monday after Thanksgiving later that 12 months, in line with NASA. Once there, a stationary lander will probably be put down close to the equator of the planet the place it’s going to deploy two photo voltaic arrays for energy. Then the InSight will put two devices onto the Martian floor utilizing its robotic arm. The devices will then keep there taking measurements to ship again to Earth.
One instrument will probably be a seismometer which can measure motion within the floor as small as half the diameter of a hydrogen atom, in line with NASA. This piece of kit will file waves from “marsquakes” and can assist reveal details about the within of the planet. This seismometer was provided by the French area company with the assistance of different nations.
The different instrument is a warmth probe that can plunge 10 ft into the floor of the planet and measure the vitality coming from the inside of the planet. This piece of kit was provided by the German Aerospace Center and the mechanism it’s going to use to hammer itself into the bottom was provided by Poland.
Testing is underway for the craft and its sensors to work out any points it could have earlier than the launch window. A leak that was discovered within the steel container that maintains the vacuum situations within the seismometer’s sensors final 12 months that delayed the unique launch window of March 2016. Lockheed Martin Space Systems, the corporate assembling and testing the craft and its gear, changed the vessel with a redesigned one which has since been examined and confirmed efficient.
The motive for the massive hole between the primary deliberate launch and the May 2018 goal is that Mars and Earth attain peak planetary geometry for launched about each 26 months or so and people home windows solely final a number of weeks, in line with NASA. If all goes in line with plan between now and May the craft will probably be sending again information frequently by 2019.

I have an iMac running macOS Mojave.
A couple of times a day the time changes back to the 5th December 2013, 11 p.m.
When I go to System Preferences -> Date and Time and unlock the pane with my administrator password the time gets corrected.
I have tried to set the time zone both manually and automatic and tried all of the three Apple time servers.
Does anyone have an idea how to fix that?


It was just on dark, April 4, 1902; the weather was taking a turn for the worse, and among the fleet of ships that appeared off Newcastle, NSW, hoping to enter harbour, was one of the world’s biggest three-masters, the 311-foot-long (95m) Ditton.
The harbour, apparently, was already reasonably crowded, and there were two fully laden ships – The Port Crawford and the Peeblesshire – tied up at the so-called “farewell buoys” in the channel, ready to leave next day. It was a situation fraught with danger and, unfortunately, the danger was not avoided.
The Ditton and her sister ship Speke had been launched in 1891, towards the end of the sailing ship era. They were said to have been the largest steel-hulled sailing ships ever built, yet despite their great length they carried only three masts. The Speke was wrecked at Phillip Island, Victoria, in 1904. The Ditton lasted until 1921, but its visit to Newcastle in 1902 was perhaps its moment of greatest fame.
When the events of the evening of April 4 were considered at an inquiry later that year, many wondered why only one tug was sent to bring in such a big ship in such squally weather when the harbour was so crowded. The Newcastle Morning Herald reported that, earlier in the day, two other ships had already found themselves in trouble, thanks to the south-westerly gale, and it only due to hard work by harbour tugs that they were safely berthed.
Having just arrived from Melbourne, the Ditton was taken in tow by the J&A Brown tug Champion, with pilot Caskey overseeing the operation. As it happened, once the ship was safely around Nobbys, the tug was almost irrelevant. The towing hawser was slack as the ship was pushed along by the wind. The pilot later insisted he had instructed the ship’s mate to be ready to drop the anchors at a moment’s notice, but when it became apparent that the giant ship was certain to ram the two loaded vessels lying at the Farewell Buoys, it was claimed that the starboard anchor was fouled and could not be dropped. Minutes were wasted and by the time an anchor was let go the momentum was unstoppable.
The long spike boom projecting from the Ditton’s bow smashed through the rigging of the Port Crawford. Spars came tumbling from the Port Crawford’s masts, snapping off the Ditton’s boom. The Port Crawford was cannoned into the nearby Peeblesshire, and the three ships wound up locked together in a spectacular embrace. It was about 6.45pm when the collision occurred. It was pouring rain, and squally, and many expected at least one of the ships to sink. Many of the crew of the Port Crawford abandoned ship, launching a boat and heading to shore. One luckless member of the Ditton’s crew, 23-year-old James Hobbs, had been sent out onto the ship’s jibboom to stow a sail, and after the crash he was nowhere to be found. The light of day revealed his body, crushed under the mess of smashed rigging. He was buried in Sandgate Cemetery.
It was an expensive accident. Both the Port Crawford – loaded with coal for San Francisco – and the Peeblesshire – loaded with coal for Burma – were seriously delayed and the damage to the Port Crawford was especially severe. An inquiry blamed the failure to drop anchor in time, and also criticised the decision (presumably to save money) not to called a second tug.
Things didn’t get better for the Ditton during its stay in Newcastle. Repaired after the collision it had gone to the coal cranes to load. On July 3 it was ready to leave the cranes under the charge of harbor pilot Beale when it swung wildly and hit the nearby ship Anemone, which careered into another ship, the Sardhana, creating another pile-up. At the subsequent inquiry the pilot was held to have been at fault.
The Ditton was later sold to Norwegian interests and kept sailing under the name Nordfarer and then changed hands again to become the Bragdo. In that guise she was wrecked, on November 2, 1921, at Boobjerg, Jutland, Denmark.
The Port Crawford, which started its life in in 1883 as the Turkistan, was later sold to Norwegian interests, renamed Margarita and broken up in 1924. The Peeblesshire, building in 1879 also ended her days under the Norwegian flag with the name Bergliot, and was wrecked in February 1907.

Costs & verdict
Everyday costs, plus how reliable and safe it is
The Ford e-Transit will cost you less to buy than the rival Mercedes eSprinter and is about on a par with the Renault Master E-Tech.
In terms of safety kit, the model's introduction has given Ford a good opportunity to bring in some much-needed changes to help it keep pace with its competitors.
Two trim options are available, Base and Trend. Entry-level Base vans get Electronic Air Temperature Control, keyless start, heated seats, a Quickclear windscreen and heated power mirrors. Trend adds sat-nav, cruise control, pre-collision assist with pedestrian detection, as well as lane-departure warning, lane-keeping aid, and front and rear parking distance sensors.
Fleet buyers also need to look into Ford Pro, the new wraparound service that provides everything from finance and advice on the best chargers to install, all the way through to live monitoring of vehicles, including using telematics to spot potential mechanical issues, order parts and arrange for fixes to be made. It's free for a year and then available via a subscription, and is so successful at preventing issues that Ford's data suggests it has saved around 15% of downtime for its monitored fleet to date.
The basic Ford warranty covers three years and 60,000 miles, as well as an additional 100,000 miles of cover for the electric components including the battery. When you factor in all that, the E-Transit gives you more choice, more power and more range than rivals, while undercutting them when it comes to cost as well.

ACOUF&L #44504C K-98 Frog with NCO's Troddel
The frogs looks to have a maker mark and date of 1940, but these are mostly obscured.
Attached to the frog is what appears to be the original NCO's troddel. This troddel remains in the original tie and is set in place. The strapping is leather and is a grayish color. It remains in good condition. The slide is woven gray leather, with a green ball cap and a bullion lower ball. The insert is aluminum with a green stripe.
A nice rig here, perfect to complete your K-98 bayonet.
Excellent Plus. $150.00
ACCOUF&L #44361 Black Leather Belt Loop
The trim lines are somewhat antiques and add some visual interest to the piece; this would make your nice SA (or possibly NSKK) just a bit nicer.
The leather of this hanger remains sound with no fraying, wear, or other major issues. There is some curling but this is very minor.
It is equipped with a nickel plated D ring.
This belt loop would be outstanding for a SS dagger or an NSKK dagger.
Near Mint. $85.00
ACCOUF&L #44362 Dark Brown SA Belt Loop
It has a rivet holding the nickel plated D ring and overall is in very nice condition.
This belt loop if darkened with a little shoe polish could work well on an NSKK dagger or if you have a dark hanger for your SA perhaps it would match up well.
A very nice SA Belt Loop here.
Excellent Plus. $65.00
ACCOUF&L #36536C Two Piece SA Belt Loop with Retainer Strap
The leather used to construct both the belt loop and the retainer strap exactly matches in color and grain.
The belt loop and retainer strap both have trim lines along the edges of each.
There is a finely pebbled "D" ring attached to the loop. The retainer strap of this rig is marked "L2 / 338 / 41" and it has a good, working snap.
A very fine SA accoutrement here.
ACCOUF&L #43734C White Police Parade Frog
The white coating remains in good condition, toning to an ivory color.
The reverse is stamped with the name of the only I maker I know who made these white frogs, "A. Fischer / Berlin 2 / 1937".
These frogs were used for the police bayonet on honor or guard duty. They are quite rare and very desirable
ACCOUF&L #43609C SS Marked Dress Bayonet Frog
The area above the hole, however, is just beginning to tear, so great care would be needed to install it properly on a scabbard. This wear and tear could probably be repaired with a little know-how.
The reverse surface of this frog is marked "SS", "11/41", and "RZM".
A very rarely seen SS Marked Bayonet Frog here.
Good Plus. $350.00
ACCOUF&L #42755C Large SS / NSKK Leather Belt Loop
The hanger has a rectangular ring installed at the bottom, which retains good plating.
I'm not sure if this loop would have been used for a dagger; given how stout it is, it looks like it was designed for something larger and heavier.
An interesting variant here, and a must if you collect period rigs.
Excellent Plus. $75.00
ACCOUF&L #37914C SA/NPEA Brown Frog
There has been a notch cut out on the right side. This notch would have accommodated the eyelet and ring on a SA scabbard.
The reverse of the frog is stamped “RZM L2/44/38”. Beneath is the name of the manufacturer, “Kernstück”.
This is a great frog if you are looking for something to accompany a SA or NPEA Dagger.
Near Mint. $495.00
ACCOUF&L #37509C TeNo Hewer Frog
The leather is black and has a rivet on the reverse. The rivet retains the attachment mechanism and consists of an aluminum snap clip. The clip is marked “A” on the reverse, indicating it is a high quality Assmann piece.
The leather retainer straps which crosses the bayonet is missing the end piece which normally has a button hole; this frog is priced accordingly. The protector flap which covers the snap clip is still intact.
This is an excellent frog to install on a TeNo Hewer, and is a prime candidate for a little restoration work.

Most Connect Ceiling, With Light Images - To update an existing fixture, first turn off strength at the home’s foremost electrical panel to the circuit that powers the light and its switch. Cowl the switch with tape to ensure it does not get turned lower back on at the same time as you are operating (photo 1). Use a circuit tester to make certain that the energy is off earlier than you contact any of the electric wiring.
Most lovers are controlled by way of a rheostat-type wall transfer that lets in for simple on/off and fan velocity operation. That allows you to opposite the path of the fan, to circulate warmer air close to the ceiling throughout wintry weather months, owners ought to manually function a reversing transfer placed at the fan housing.
If you have access from above, you may make and set up your personal help brace the usage of a period of 2x4 lumber nailed to the ceiling joists on both sides of the field location (image 2). Position the brace directly above the ceiling field. From underneath, use wooden screws to attach the ceiling container securely to the brace.
Attach a blade mounting bracket to each fan blade after which attach these brackets to the rotating bezel below the fan motor. Make certain all the mounting screws are tight; loose blades will reason the fan to wobble when operating.
Connect the fan motor wires to the house wiring. Normally, this requires connecting black to black (“hot”) wires and white to white (“neutral”) wires. If the fan has a bare copper or green insulated wire, attach this to the prevailing ground twine and connect each to the metallic electric container. Additional wires or a receiving unit may be blanketed for an non-compulsory remote manipulate operator, which lets in you to govern the fan and light without a switch or pull-chain. Observe the manufacturer’s wiring instructions carefully. Use twine nuts to comfy all connections.

Reality Check on Joule
Companies entering commercialization tend to make some pretty bombastic claims. Among them is a company called Joule Unlimited, which was recently reported by Biofuels Digest to claim a yield of up to 25,000 gallons of ethanol per acre from the sugar produced by their product, comparing it to a yield of roughly 800 gallons per acre planted in sugarcane.
Numbers like that don't tend to inspire confidence in me. Over thirty times the yield? Time for a reality check.
There are really two ways we could go about this. The simplest one is to simply compare the amount of energy in the ethanol Joule claims to yield and compare it to the amount of insolation, or solar input. That's right, it's the chemical engineer's old friend, the energy balance.
For context, there are a couple of things that we should know. Sugarcane gathers energy Since Joule's system uses cyanobacteria, we can look at typical photosynthetic efficiencies among plants and microorganisms - for high efficiency plants like sugarcane, 1%; for high efficiency blue-green algae, 2-3%. Finally, we need to take a look at what solar resources are available. This map comes originally from NREL and describes the input to a tracking solar panel (it follows the sun), so it should serve as a good proxy. Let's take a good insolation value in the US to be 6 kWh/m^2/day.
For a 25,000 gallons of ethanol per acre per year yield, the energy content is 2.22e6 MJ. On the other side of the equation, total solar input is 3.2e7 MJ/acre over the course of a year. If we divide the two to get a simple efficiency, we get about 7%.
In reality, Joule's system is not designed to produce ethanol but sugar, which involves even greater energy input. However, we can already see that the claim that they have is more than twice what can be considered the best of what nature has produced, unless they really have discovered something that radically defies all previous biotechnology. If we assess this claim on the basis of sugar, then we're likely to discover even more ridiculous stuff, since the native sugar contains more energy than ethanol.
In an anaerobic fermentation, two ethanol molecules are produced from each sugar molecule. Returning again to what 25,000 gallons of ethanol implies, it's 1.62e6 moles, which implies an origin in about 8.1e5 moles of sugar. Wikipedia tells me the combustion enthalpy is -2805 kJ/mol, so the total production of Joule's claimed system is 2.27e6 MJ. This boosts the efficiency up to about 7.1%, not much more, but still twice as good as the best nature produces.
Joule has failed the reality check. That was an ideal case, where we assumed no photosynthetic metabolism to help the bacteria in cellular processes or reproduce; the likely metabolic requirements to produce the sugar means the claimed efficiency of the cyanobacteria Joule uses must be even higher. Their photosynthesis levels are, roughly speaking, over two times higher than I'd even believe advanced biotech is able to produce on the basis of sugar yields alone; if you include cell growth and other uses of the sugar, I'd estimate four or five.
This analysis does not say that Joule will not have a great product. This is also not to say that Joule isn't run by smart people. Note that even reducing their reported yield by a full order of magnitude is still about three times better than sugarcane, the one first generation biofuel that is truly, in my opinion, going to be with us to the end. But these incredibly bombastic claims are emblematic of a lot of biofuels companies pretty much playing very fast and loose with science, and hoping nobody will notice.


Full-cream milk, deep-fried foods, calorie-rich salad dressing... these are 'fat' hazards that increase the calorie count in your food.
The best way to cut these down is to adopt healthier cooking methods.
Here are some sensible cooking tips to help you eat healthier.
~ Skim milk and its products are a must. For instance, have skim milk paneer or tofu (made of soyabean) instead of processed cheese and cheese spreads (which have a high fat content).
Have shrikhand (no puris please) or fruit yoghurt instead of fat rich ice creams.
~ If skim milk is too expensive, prepare it at home.
Boil milk the previous night. Cool and refrigerate. Next morning, remove the cream (malai) layer that has formed on the top. Heat the milk again and use as desired.
~ A low calorie, high protein cheese spread can be prepared using skim milk curd.
Put the curd in a muslin cloth and hang it for a few hours to drain the excess whey (taak). Add salt, finely chopped green chillies and garlic to this thickened curd and mix well. If you wish, you may also add grated carrot. Refrigerate and use within a week.
~ Bake cutlets/ kebabs instead of frying them.
Once you shape the cutlets, coat them with oats, place them on a lightly greased baking tray and brush lightly with olive oil. Bake in a moderately hot oven until golden brown, turning the cutlets to the other side about half way through.
If you do not have an oven, do not despair.
~ Grill the cutlets on a non-stick frying pan.
First, brush the cutlets with olive oil, then place on the heated frying pan. Lower the flame, cover and allow to fry slowly till golden brown. Shake the frying pan occasionally to prevent the cutlets from sticking to it. When one side is golden brown, turn cutlets over and fry the other side in the same manner.
~ Here is what I do with paneer:
To fry paneer, heat a non-stick pan. Then lower the flame, place the paneer cubes on it and allow to fry over a slow fire till all the whey that comes from the paneer evaporates. Shake the pan occasionally to ensure the paneer cubes do not stick.
Add half a teaspoon of oil and fry till the cubes are golden brown on both sides.
~ In order to use less oil in chapattis, knead the dough with skim milk instead of water. Do not add any oil while roasting.
~ Make it a habit to cook with less oil. Ideally, the oil consumption for a family of five members should not exceed 1-1 ¼ litre per month.
If you love fried food, fry with as little oil as possible. If you can afford it, use non-stick pans for cooking as it allows you to cook the same way but with much lesser quantities of oil. Needless to say, this cuts down on calories too.
~ Season (bagar) spices or onion with one teaspoon of oil, then keep adding a tablespoon of water at a time till the onions have cooked.
~ Slice onions finely. Bake in the oven till golden brown and use in biryani instead of the traditional fried onions.
~ Roast papads instead of frying them. All fried snacks can be made healthier by baking them.
~ When shopping for snacks, pick up readymade baked versions of traditionally fried snacks like chivda, khakra, etc.
~ Use cooking methods such as steaming, baking, poaching, grilling (in the oven or in a frying pan by brushing with oil and cooking on a slow flame) or stewing instead of frying to cut down on the amount of oil you need.
Say goodbye to fat
~ Remove all visible fat from the meat and skin of the chicken before cooking.
~ You can also scoop out congealed fat from meat or chicken stock, soups and stews by refrigerating them for a few hours before use.
~ Use palak puree, tomato puree, bottle gourd (dudhi) puree or onion puree instead of mava or other nuts needed to prepare dishes containing kadai or makhani gravies. All you have to do is to grind any of the above and fry it in just a teaspoon of oil before adding the masala powders and vegetable or chicken or paneer to obtain rich and thick gravy. Add one or two teaspoons of milk cream (malai) to add flavour.
~ Cut out on the mayonnaise in salad dressings by using low fat or skim milk curd along with herbs and seasonings instead.
~ Substitute cream in sauces and gravies by using the same amount of skim milk instead of cream. Thicken the mixture with cornflour to get a rich, creamy texture.
~ Limit consumption high fat foods such as butter, cream, cream sauces, mayonnaise, milk cream, salad dressings containing oil and fried foods.
~ When eating out or at parties choose grilled or baked items instead of fried ones for starters. Alternately, you could skip the starters and order a soup.
~ Choose dishes for the main course carefully. Have plain rice, chapattis, rotis or bread instead of parathas, nans, fried rice, biryani or baturas, if the side dishes are going to contain rich gravies.

What Egyptian Mummies tell us about the History of the Nile
A public lecture by Professor Christophe Lécuyer, Laboratoire de Géologie de Lyon - Terre Planètes, Environnement Université Claude Bernard Lyon, France and 2016 UWA Gledden Visiting Fellow.
Samples of tooth enamel and bone have been obtained from Egyptian human and animal mummies that cover the Predynastic (5,500 years BP) to Byzantine periods (1,500 years BP). Mummy teeth and bones record the ratio of stable oxygen isotopes (18O and 16O) of their drinking water, which was ultimately the Nile River water.
Variations in this stable isotope ratio reflect changes in precipitation patterns over the source regions of the Blue (Lake Tana, Ethiopia) and White Nile (Lake Victoria, Tanzania and Uganda). A progressive increase of the 18O/16O ratios of mummy skeletal remains indicates a precipitation decrease of about 140 mm per year while mean air temperatures remained rather constant.
Oxygen isotope variations between bones, tooth enamel and dentine belonging to the same individuals also raise questions about specific dietary changes that may have taken place from the childhood to adulthood transition, or that could be related to movements along the Nile Valley.
Professor Christophe Lécuyer received his PhD in petrology and geochemistry in 1989 from the University of Rennes, France, and obtained the same year a position at French CNRS. He worked as a Research Associate at the University of Michigan from 1990 to 1991 where he started to develop a research mainly devoted to past global climatic changes. In 1996 he obtained his ‘Habilitation’ at the Ecole Normale Supérieure de Lyon and became Professor at the University of Lyon in 1999 where he managed until 2010 the Department of Earth Sciences. Christophe Lécuyer is now member of the Institut Universitaire de France and leads the team of stable isotope geochemistry at the University of Lyon. His current research interests include stable isotope studies of fossil meteoric or marine waters to reconstruct past water cycles and climates.
Professor Lécuyer is a 2016 Gledden Visiting Fellow at The University of Western Australia.
