The counterpart of a deep appreciation and respect for fossils is a hands-on knowledge of the geologic formations that produce them. The San Antonio, Texas area is conveniently located directly straddling the Balcones Fault line, affording amateur and professional geologists and paleontologists alike the opportunity to view, up close, a succession of Cretaceous marine formations within a day or two of self guided adventure. Although geologic exposures of interest still abound in Bexar County, excellent fossil bearing exposures seem to be consumed by construction faster than new ones are being revealed as compared to 5-10 years ago. Several factors contribute to this trend.
1. Economic upturn equates to accelerated construction schedules. For the fossil hunter, this means that new sites are graded and built over before there is time for newly exposed rock to weather sufficiently for optimal collecting.
2. Compared to the construction in other areas, such as the DFW area, construction crews in San Antonio seem to have a stronger propensity to grind rocks into powder rather than pile up boulders which could expose fossils. Perhaps that is due to frequent dealings with some of the harder formations, such as Austin, Edwards or Buda.
3. Due to the increasingly litigious trend of modern society, more construction sites are now fenced, posted, and monitored by security personnel and/or cameras.
4. While establishment of greenway parks along many of the major waterways in is a boon for many groups of outdoor enthusiasts, prohibitive rules and signage make these traditionally collectible areas off limits to the avocational collector.
All that being said, the purpose of this guide is not so much to publicly reveal important fossil sites, which would subsequently become rapidly depleted, but rather to give the motivated neophyte a starting point that could, through perseverance, pioneering spirit and individual achievement, result in discovery of new and productive collecting sites. But it all starts with a working knowledge of local geology. (And don't worry...some cool fossil sites will still be mentioned). Had I had this sort of information in hand back when I began my personal field explorations 13 years ago, I would have saved countless hours and miles in figuring out where to look, and what I was looking at.
The sites detailed in this discussion are intended to provide an educational, up close, hands-on familiarity of each formation from a geological and lithological standpoint. Fossils are present or abundant at some of these sites, but special effort has been made to avoid revealing scientifically significant sites under study, and also to avoid openly sharing with the internet community any personal sites found through the diligence of other hard working private collectors. With perseverance and investment come a respect for the hard work of others.
Fossils shown at the end of each section are a combination of specimens found at the specific site detailed herein, and fossils that the motivated collector may find when investigating the myriad, ephemeral sites that pop up and disappear around town over time. Aerial images were borrowed from Google Earth, and most of the ground level, roadside exposure images were taken from Google Streetview.
NOTE 1: I’ll continue to make additions to this guide as time allows until the dozen or so prominent Cretaceous formations are detailed.
NOTE 2: If any portion of the content seems to be in error, I encourage PMs to bring necessary updates to my attention.
NOTE 3: If you have questions about a site you've found, feel free to PM me.
Geology: Alternating gray to yellow limestones, dolomite and marls denote marine transgressions (coastline moving inshore) and regressions (coastline moving offshore), respectively. Mostly marine sediments, although some shoreline/ lagoonal deposits are marked by dinosaur tracks and plant fragments. Alternating resistant and recessive layers create stair step topography. Lower unit generally thicker bedded and more fossiliferous than hypersaline upper unit.
Area Exposures: This formation has far ranging aerial outcrop west of the I-35 corridor beginning in North Texas, continuing west of Austin to a point north of San Antonio, where it continues west well north of Hwy 90 all the way out to the Big Bend area. Exposures are present in far northern Bexar County along Hwy 281, about 2 miles south of Cibolo Creek, with increasing prominence heading north on 281 through Comal County.
One site that has been well known since at least the 1950s, is still well exposed, and continues to produce fossils after hard rains, despite high collecting pressure from individuals as well as groups of up to 300 people at once is the road cut on the east side of 281 about 1 mile north of the intersection with Hwy 46. There is a recessive marl zone about half way up the road cut that is several feet thick and sandwiched between harder limestone benches above and below This cut is known by geologists to expose the Corbula marker bed, named after the small bivalve used to delineate the upper from lower unites of the Glen Rose Formation.
Clearly the site is no big secret if the Google camera catches a collector there, applying his craft!
Fossil collectors are quite fond of the collectible fauna of well preserved macrofossils abundant in this zone, as described below.
Paleontology: Although random searches of the Glen Rose Formation tend to turn up mostly bivalves such as Arctica, Liopistha, Neithea as well as a host of gastropods including Tylostoma and others, the Glen Rose is perhaps best known for its dinosaur bones in North Texas as well as its dinosaur tracks and echinoid fauna in South Texas. Fluctuations of sea level during Glen Rose times resulted in marine as well as shoreline/lagoonal deposits, the former preserving marine fossils, and the latter preserving dinosaur tracks created on mud flats.
Echinoid zones are present in both the upper and lower Glen Rose, concentrated in several discrete zones. Upper Glen Rose echinoid zones tend to be dominated by the dime to nickel sized regular echinoid Loriolia rosana, and the lower Glen Rose contains a zone of highly sought after, exotic echinoids, but most collectors become enamored with the Leptosalenia texana and other echinoids found just a few feet below the Corbula marker bed for their quality, quantity, and size. This zone is marked by a grainstone at the top of the lower limestone bench, and a thin layer of slender, spiral gastropods of the genus Nerinea at the top, and innumerable round, flat foraminifera (single celled microfossils) named Orbitolina texana, in the interceding marl bed.
Leptosalenia texana is the flagship echinoid of this zone, highly sought after for its size, ornamentation, and common occurrence within this specific zone. The thickness of the test (shell) often leads to good preservation of this species. Other regular echinoids such Tetragramma and Paracidaris texanus are rare prizes from this zone and valued in any condition.
Irregular (heart shaped) urchins, known collectively as spatangoids, are dominated in the L. texana zone by two species: Heteraster obliquatus (depressed unpaired ambulacrum), and to a lesser extent, Pliotoxaster comanchei (all 5 ambs depressed). The spatangoids have a thinner test than L. texana, and are thus prone to distortion and weathering to the extent that some sites may only produce 1 well preserved spatangoid per 30-50 flawed examples. Dome shaped echinoids Coenholectypus planatus, radially symmetric at a glance, but technically irregular echinoids due to periproct (excretory orifice) placement, are also found in small numbers in this zone.
L. texana in matrix. Note small disk shaped forams Orbitolina texana in matrix.
First, the spatangoids. Heteraster obliquatus has a depressed unpaired ambulacrum. Pliotoxaster comanchei has all 5 ambulacra depressed.
I don't spend much time collecting or studying these classes of mollusks, so this section is limited.
Geology: Gray to yellow limestone, marl and dolomite, nodular at certain levels, generally mapped undivided with the Edwards Group, considered by some as the basal nodular member of the Edwards. Gradational contact with the underlying Glen Rose Formation. The Walnut is thought to reflect normal marine to brackish water deposits. Bull Creek and overlying Bee Cave Marl members of the Walnut may both be represented in South Texas, the Bee Cave being the more fossiliferous of the two.
Area Exposures: I don’t know of a publicly accessible locality close to San Antonio, but a motivated enthusiast could find this zone by searching the extensive mapped contact between the Glen Rose and Edwards Formations, as the Walnut does not have sufficient aerial exposure to warrant separate mapping at the 1:250,000 map scale utilized in the Atlas of Texas series San Antonio Sheet. I’ve seen other maps at 1:100,000 scale, however, which map the Walnut separately, with the caveat that these thin ribbons of outcrop are inferred and largely subsurface.
The Walnut should, in theory, be exposed in the road cuts along Hwy 281 north of town, specifically about 2 miles south of Cibolo Creek where the geo map shows the contact between the Ked and Kgr. I have not investigated this area and leave further study to more industrious collectors.
Paleontology: While the Walnut may be tens of feet thick, I tend to focus on a recessive, nodular marl zone about 2-4 feet thick, which I believe to be equivalent of the Bee Cave Marl of Central Texas. The index fossil is the distinctive oyster Ceratostrean texanum, quite abundant in this zone. But the fossils I focus on are well preserved echinoids, listed in descending order of occurrence: Coenholectypus planatus, Heteraster texanus, Loriolia sp., Phymosoma texanum. On rare occasions I’ve found fish vertebrae and complete ammonites Engonoceras c.f. pierdenale, with fragments thereof being much more common.
Geology: The Edwards Group of South Texas correlates with the Goodland Formation of North Texas, although they are lithologically quite different.
Kainer Fm: Cyclic subtidal to tidal flat limestone and dolomite. Wackestones and packstones in lower part of this unit, localized leached evaporate and breccia in middle part of the unit, grainstones and packstones in upper part of unit. Honeycomb and variable amounts of chert nodules common.
Person Fm: Shallow subtidal to tidal flat cyclic limestone and dolomite. Recrystallized dolomitic limestone, argillaceous limestone, leached and collapsed zones (some infilled with red “terra rosa” clay), interconnected honeycomb porosity, vuggy intervals, chert locally abundant. The lowest 20-30 feet of this unit, the Regional Dense Member, is thought to correlate to the Kiamichi Fm of North Texas.
Area Exposures: The Edwards is perhaps the best exposed limestone unit in Bexar County in part due to its resistance to weathering. More important than its paleontology, this is the primary local building stone, and its honeycombed subterranean catacombs comprise the primary aquifer for the San Antonio area. My house is built out of Edwards limestone, and the Edwards also provides my house with a very stable foundation that is not subject to shifting, as can happen in softer formations.
The karst topography of the Edwards Limestone lends itself to cave formation north of San Antonio. Of notable interest, Friesenhahn Cave a few miles north of Loop 1604 near Hwy 281 and Stone Oak Parkway, when excavated in the early 1950s, was found to contain the remains of several juvenile and adult Homotherium saber cats in association with numbers of juvenile mammoth teeth and other remains. Apparently that cave was used as a den for an extended period 20,000 years ago. Web searches turn up spectacular images of these well preserved cats.
The Edwards is quarried extensively just to the north of Loop 1604 North as well as west of IH-35 heading north toward New Braunfels. The road cuts on Loop 1604 on the north side of town between Gold Canyon Road and IH-10 afford an extensive drive-by view of the Edwards, and it also extends several miles to the north on Hwy 281, approaching within 2 miles of Cibolo Creek.
Shopping centers cut into local hills tend to leave this resistant limestone exposed without retaining walls. Near the intersection of Loop 1604 and IH-10, two shopping areas (The Rim and The Shops at La Cantera) are detailed in attached images to show excellent Edwards exposures affording easy access. For those seeking a greater thrill, nearby Fiesta Texas is built in a repurposed quarry in the Edwards.
Generally speaking, the Edwards is a very hard limestone, grainy and crystalline in places, making it rather difficult to extract its fossils unbroken with hand tools. While Central and West Texas exposures of the Edwards and its equivalents are known to produce breathtakingly preserved echinoids and silicified gastropods, the San Antonio area seems to have been dealt a bad hand in terms of its Edwards fossil content, preservation, and extractability of fossils. Some of the most interesting local Edwards fossils that I've seen afield are external molds of gastropods, leaving behind cavities in the limestone festooned with elaborate surface ornamentation not seen on the steinkerns (internal molds) of gastropods so prevalent in other local formations.
Perhaps I have not searched enough amongst the local rudist reefs for desirable echinoids, such as Goniopygus. Rudists seem to dominate the Edwards faunal spectrum. These obscure, reef building bivalves are often mistaken for a number of fossils, including dinosaur teeth. Admittedly, my time afield has been biased toward other formations, and further study would be required to give a more balanced assessment.
Thickness: Sporadic exposures to 30 feet in Bexar County. Personally observed exposures only a few feet thick.
Geology: The middle and upper Albian Stage is a variably fossiliferous marine rock unit that persists along the entire Balcones Fault from NE Texas, through Fort Worth, Temple, Austin, pinches very thin over the San Marcos Arch, is very sparsely exposed around San Antonio, and reappears with greater thickness in far West Texas along the IH-10 corridor.
Members of the mid to upper Albian are most prominently exposed in far North Texas in the area between Lake Texoma and Fort Worth. In that area, the Albian formations within the Washita Group include, from oldest to youngest, Duck Creek, Fort Worth, Denton, Weno, Pawpaw and Mainstreet. Heading southward along the Balcones Fault, all of these formations gradually thin and harden, the transition from marls and limestones to predominantly harder limestones denoting increased water depth in a classic offshore sequence. At the Brazos River, the Pawpaw becomes so thin that it pinches out and is not mapped separately southward.
Around Belton, the remaining formations are sufficiently thin and of such narrow aerial outcrop that they are lumped together and mapped undivided as Georgetown Formation in areas farther south, with formations of the north referred to as members of the Georgetown. In latitudes as far south as San Marcos, the Duck Creek, Fort Worth, and Weno members have pinched out. The San Marcos area is the southernmost occurrence of Mortoniceras ammonites and Macraster echinoids encountered by the author. Both reappear in West Texas.
Most of these lower and middle members of the Washita and their wonderful fossils are absent in the surface and subsurface in the San Antonio area. However, sparse exposures of the Mainstreet member represent the Georgetown Formation locally.
This open shelf interval occurs as a thin, tan, nodular bedded limestone disconformably overlying the Person Formation of the Edwards Group, and underlying the Del Rio Clay. It is generally mapped undivided as an upper member of the Edwards, and is lithologically so similar near the Edwards contact that the two can be difficult to distinguish unless fossils are present. The upper contact, in contrast is characterized by a distinct and abrupt break from nodular limestone to clay. I find the Del Rio/Georgetown contact to be the most fossiliferous zone in the Georgetown of Bexar County and interestingly, this contact zone represents the contact of the Comanchean (Lower Cretaceous) and Gulfian (Upper Cretaceous) series. This zone is studded with rusty pyrite, which adds character when adhered to the fossils, and It is possible that much of this pyrite on Georgetown fossils is derived from intimate contact with the overlying Del Rio clay.
Area Exposures: At 1:250,000 scale, the Kgt and Ked are mapped undivided in Bexar County. At 1:100,000 scale, the Kgt is mapped separately along slopes which map Person Formation at the base and Del Rio Formation above. However, most of the outcrop area is covered by soil and vegetation, so mapped outcrop is inferred, and could be more intermittent than implied by the map.
One site that exposes this unit is the bed of Leon Creek in NW Bexar County. This area was recently annexed into the Leon Creek Greenway, and is therefore off limits to collecting. A Google Earth image has been included of the creek section exposing the Georgetown. The image is a bit out of date, as there is now a hike and bike bridge built over the creek, and a neighborhood just to the east. The narrow stretch of Kgt limestone is directly under this bridge and extends perhaps 50 yards upstream and downstream of it.
Paleontology: The local Georgetown limestone is distinguished from the Edwards by presence in the former of the small brachiopod Waconella wacoensis. Bivalves include large Neithea (possibly N. texana) scallops and steinkerns of Protocardia clams. But fleeting occurrences of ammonites and echinoids provide more excitement for the adventurous collector. Mariella brazoensis is helically spired heteromorphic ammonite which resembles a large, ornamented gastropod. Graysonites is a rare planispiral ammonite easily identified by its prominent ventral tubercles. Paracymatoceras texanum is a coiled nautiloid occasionally encountered, and it is easily distinguished by the thin, sinuous lines on its flanks. The echinoid fauna is dominated by the large, brown, dome shaped Coenholectypus, generally 1.5-2.5 inches diameter. None of these ammonites, echinoids, nor nautiloids are especially plentiful in San Antonio, so for those especially interested in finding them, a weekend trip 200-350 miles north would greatly increase odds of success.
A couple decent examples of Mariella brazoensis. Usually found as broken, partial whorls.
A rare Graysonites. This matrix presentation includes Neithea scallops and Waconella brachiopods. A great piece for diagnostic zonation.
Geology: The Grayson Formation is mapped from Lake Texoma in far north Texas to the Waco area. The names Grayson and Del Rio Formations are used interchangeably between Waco and Belton. From Belton to San Antonio, through the type locality at Del Rio in Val Verde County, and on into far west Texas, it is referred to as Del Rio Formation.
This interval marks the beginning of the Upper Cretaceous, and represents a shelf mud/prodelta deposit, predominantly a recessive, peanut butter colored calcareous, montmorillonitic (shrink /swell during wet/dry cycles) clay with minor amounts of mudstone. Gypsum and pyrite are common. Del Rio Clay is perhaps the least permeable clay in Bexar county, so it holds water well in stock tanks etc. However, its shrink/swell nature and instability on slopes makes for shifting building foundations.
Area Exposures: The soft, recessive nature of the Kdr makes for weak surface expression. It is encountered mainly on slopes capped by the more resistant Buda Limestone, as well as in valleys and flats. When excavated on hillsides during construction projects, it is quickly supported by retaining walls to prevent slumping. It can be viewed in the flats behind Costco and Discount Tire at the west corner of IH-10 and DeZavala Road, where I. arietina oysters are quite common.
Paleontology: The index fossil of the Del Rio Formation is the ram’s horn oyster Ilymatogyra arietina, quite common in the lower 2/3 of the formation. Less abundant is the oyster Gryphea mucronata, which seems to have the strongest presence in the upper 1/3 of the formation locally. These oysters persist in great numbers through the entire outcrop area noted in the Geology section. The brachiopod Waconella wacoensis, abundant in the Kgt, has phased out by the end of the Albian. San Antonio Del Rio exposures lack the extensive micromorphic ammonite fauna noted in the Waco area. I have encountered one or two spatangoids in the Del Rio, either Heteraster or Washitaster, too poorly preserved to key out with confidence. A few Palhemiaster calvini echinoids have also been found locally.

The Btstander bank loan can range from € 1,000 to as much as € 60,000 and can be increased if the income is equal.
More and more consumers are turning to loans to finance travel, furniture or real estate. With providers like the Btstander Bank, they can either use traditional installment credit to ensure financial freedom, or they can opt for a dedicated loan such as a car loan to afford a new car on attractive terms. We took a close look at the Btstander bank loan and tell you what is behind it, how to apply for it and how flexible it can be used in everyday life.
Btstander Consumer Bank has its price: An effective annual interest from 7.98 percent, which is defined by maturity and credit rating, must be paid by the customer to the company for the provision of a loan.
In addition to the regular installment loan, Btstander Consumer Bank has a number of other financing products to offer. These include primarily loans that are specifically designed to finance a car, motorcycle or motorhome. These loans are all based on the terms of the regular installment loan and are only partially adapted to the purpose in some areas – for example, the maximum term for financing a motorhome is not 96 months, but instead up to 120 months. In addition, however, customers can also choose between different additional offers, for example by ensuring a high degree of flexibility by adjusting the monthly rates. In addition to the credit of Btstander Consumer Bank, the company also offers a practical disposition account with a credit between 3,000 € and 30,000 € and an optional residual debt insurance, which can be added to the offer at the conclusion of a loan.
Btstander Consumer Bank’s loan offer consists of an installment loan, a car loan, a motorbike loan and a loan to finance a motorhome. In addition, a disposition account with a credit balance of between 3,000 and 30,000 euros and an optional residual debt insurance are also offered. The loan offer of the Btstander Consumer Bank is basically based on the installment loan, which is characterized by a credit line of between € 1,000 and € 60,000, which can be paid off at an effective interest rate of 7.98 percent over a period of between 12 and 96 months. In order to ensure the highest possible effectiveness, the conditions were adapted to the intended use.
apply for a Btstander Bank loan, you must first meet the appropriate requirements. This means they have to bring sufficient pension or labor income and must not show a negative Schufa entry. If these requirements are met, you must first determine your preferred loan using the loan calculator and request the loan documents by clicking on “Apply now” or “Calculate offer”. As a result, you only need to enter some personal details in an online form before you can receive all the required documents by mail.
As soon as you submit your documents to Swiss Post, you will simultaneously go through the PostIdent process, which serves to legitimize you. Be sure to bring your identity card or passport with you to confirm the identity of the postal worker. Finally, the desired amount of money is transferred to the specified account, after which the customer can take his credit directly.
It is not difficult to open a loan with Btstander Bank. Just make sure in advance that you do not bring a negative Schufa entry, but instead bring a stable work or pension income. You can then use Btstander Bank Internet Banking to calculate your preferred loan and request a quote. Finally, provide some personal information and wait for the required documentation. Once these documents are in place, submit the signed credit agreement along with proof of earnings to the nearest post office, where you will need to go through the PostIdent process before your credit can finally be credited to you.
increase in the loan is a sufficient working or retirement income. If you also want to make sure that you can also adjust your installments or the term of the loan within the term, you should decide in advance for a corresponding financing product.
You can choose between budget financing and AutoFlex. Basically, these products, which allow rate adjustments and special repayments, are available only for car, motorbike or RV loans. However, if you want to secure a particularly high level of flexibility with your installment loan, you should contact the customer support of the company and inquire about the available options. For this, customers can contact the support by mail or by phone.
The Btstander bank loan can be increased if the client brings a corresponding working or pension income. If the borrower also wants to ensure a higher degree of flexibility, he may be able to use the budget financing or AutoFlex. However, as these financing products are basically tied to auto, motorbike or motorhome loans, the customer should contact the support of Btstander Bank by telephone or by mail in advance to ensure problem resolution.

Anjuna is a small village in north Goa, on the shores of the Arabian Sea. Anjuna beach is one of the most popular beaches in Goa situated 8 km west of Mapusa and 18 km from the capital Panaji. It was a famous destination for hippies during the sixties and seventies. It is in the late 1950s to mid-1960s that Anjuna beach was “discovered” by the hippies.
The sea at Anjuna is particularly safe for bathing, while the soft white sands are great for sun bathing, a favourite activity of the sun-starved European tourists. At the north of Anjuna, is its famous flea market, where everything from Kashmiri handicrafts, to Gujarati and Rajasthani clothes, bags and jewellery is available in plenty. Anjuna is also known for its full-moon (acid house) parties. Held for and by young tourists, these parties have attracted thousands of tourists. The trance party with dance, frolic, and merriment goes all night besides the fire. The main attractions of Anjuna Beach are the magnificent Albuquerque Mansion built in 1920 (flanked by octagonal towers and an attractive Mangalore tile-roof), the Mascarenhas Mansion, and the Chapora Fort.
Both the beachfront and village at Anjuna are flooded with good places to eat and drink. All serve cold beer, invariably with thumping techno music in the background. On the beach, tourists can buy fresh fruits, including watermelons, pineapples and locally grown coconuts from the local vendors.
The nearest airport is at Dabolim, which is 29 km away from Panaji and 47 km from Anjuna. The nearest railway station is at Karmali 11 km away from Panaji and 29 km from Anjuna. There are buses every hour to Anjuna from Mapusa (8 km). There are frequent local buses to Panaji, which is just 18 km away. One can also hire a motorcycle or a taxi from Mapusa to reach Anjuna.
There are plenty of guesthouses around the village. Most of them consists of small-unfurnished houses. Some of the resorts and guesthouse can be found at the main Starco’s crossroads area. But the best choice for accommodation is available in Calangute, Baga or nearby Vagator or Chapora.
Goa has a consistent climate throughout the year with just meager fluctuations in the temperature. The temperature during the summers ranges from 24°C to 32.7°C and during the winters it ranges from 21.3°C to 32.2°C. Because of its pleasant climate, Anjuna beach can be visited at any time of the year. However, tourists should beware the heavy rainfall between June and October. The period from November to February is the best time to visit Anjuna.

I remember when I received my Nintendo Entertainment System as a birthday gift. I was familiar with video games and played them because my older cousins had systems like the Atari 2600, ColecoVision and Mattel’s Intellivision. But when I first saw Super Mario Bros. flash across my TV screen and watched Mario hit that first block, I knew immediately this was something different from the typical bleeps and graphics I was familiar with.
Fast forward 32 years later, and I haven’t felt that experience in quite some time now.
Each leap in the new generation of gaming brought new experiences along with new visuals. Sonic the Hedgehog zipped through levels, Samus waged war against the Metroids, and the Streets of Rage squad fought against a legion of henchmen to reach Mr. X during the 16-bit era. Sony unseated Nintendo during the 32/64-bit wars with games like Parappa the Rapper, Intelligent Cube and Resident Evil 2.
Then came Sega’s swan song with the Dreamcast, firing the first shot in that era of gaming and giving gamers a version of a game that was better than its arcade counterpart, Soul Calibur.
Games today lack the soul and passion of those from yesteryear. Mindless rehashes of games that lack innovation show that companies are just playing it safe just to get a check.
Almost every game has a forced multiplayer edition when it’s not needed, and single-player games are suffering from it.
Companies like Capcom, once considered one of the gods of video game content, dumbed down Street Fighter V for casual fans and created a game that relies on luck instead of skill.
I can’t blame the developers. Gamers don’t support them when they take risks. Instead, gamers usually complain.
Thank God for the developers out there who are not afraid of taking risks and bringing out games like Nier: Automata, A Way Out, Max Payne 3, and the God of War series, which Sony reinvented for its fourth installment.
I still have hope for games wowing and giving me the special feeling that I had growing up.
But as long as the gamers refuse to demand innovation and refuse to support developers when they innovate, we’re looking at dark days ahead.

Hiring? Toptal handpicks top IT engineers to suit your needs.
At a glance, the hosting industry may not appear exciting, but it’s grunts in data centres the world over that keep our industry going. They are, quite literally, the backbone of the Internet, and as such they make everything possible: from e-commerce sites, to smart mobile apps for our latest toys. The heavy lifting is done in boring data centres, not on our flashy smartphones and wafer thin notebooks.
Whether you’re creating a virtual storefront, deploying an app, or simply doing some third-party testing and development, chances are you need some server muscle. The good news is that there is a lot to choose from. The hosting industry may not be loud or exciting, but it never sleeps; it’s a dog eat dog world, with cutthroat pricing, a lot of innovation behind the scenes, and cyclical hardware updates. Cloud, IaaS and PaaS have changed the way many developers and businesses operate, and these are relatively recent innovations.
In this post I will look at some hosting basics from the perspective of a freelance developer: what to choose and what to stay away from. Why did I underline freelance software engineers? Well, because many need their own dev environment, while at the same time working with various clients. Unfortunately, this also means that they usually have no say when it comes to deployment. For example, it’s the client’s decision how and where a particular web app will be hosted, and a freelancer hired on short-term basis usually has no say in the decision. This is a management issue, so I will not address it in this post other than to say that even freelancers need to be aware of options out there. Their hands may be tied, but in some cases clients will ask for their input and software engineers should help them make an informed decision. Earlier this week, we covered one way of blurring the line between development and operations: DevOps. In case you missed that post, I urge you to check it out and see why DevOps integration can have an impact on hosting as well.
Luckily, the hosting industry tries to cater to dev demand, so many of hosting companies offer plans tailored for developers. But wait, aren’t all webhosting plans just as good for developers as these “developer” plans? Is this just clever marketing and a cheap SEO trick?
So, how does one go about finding the right hosting plan? Google is the obvious place to start, so I tried searching for “hosting for developers.” By now, you can probably see where I am going with this. That particular search yielded 85 million results and enough ads to make Google shareholders pop open a bottle of champagne.
If you’re a software engineer looking for good hosting, it’s not a good idea to google for answers. Here’s why.
There is a very good reason for this, and I reached out to some hosting specialists to get a better idea of what goes on behind the scenes.
Wood confirmed what most of us knew already: A lot of “hosting for developers” plans are marketing gimmicks. However, he stressed that they often offer perfectly fine hosting plans in their own right.
“The ‘hosting’ is real, the ‘for developers’ part is just marketing,” he added.
Although Wood works for hosting review site WhoIsHostingThis, he believes developers searching for a new host should rely on more than online searches.
Check out major tech blogs from developers using the same stack as you.
Reach out to the community and ask for advice.
Take a closer look at hosting plans offered by your current host. Look for rapid deployment tools, integration to other developer tools, testing support and so on.
Make sure you have clear needs and priorities; there’s no room for ambiguity.
Base your decision on up-to-date information.
But what about the hundreds of thousands of hosting plans tailored for developers? Well, they’re really not special and in most cases you can get a similar level of service and support on a “plain Jane” hosting plan.
Is there even a need for these small and inexpensive plans? Yes, there is. Although seasoned veterans probably won’t use them, they are still a piece of the puzzle, allowing small developers, hobbyists and students to hone their skills on cheap, using shared hosting plans that cost less than a gym membership. Nobody is going to host a few local hobby sites on AWS, and kids designing their first WordPress sites won’t get a VPS. In most cases, they will use the cheapest option out there.
Cheap, shared hosting plans are the bread and butter of many hosting outfits, so you can get one from an industry leader, or a tiny, regional host. The trouble with small hosts is that most of them rely on conventional reseller hosting or re-packaging cloud hosting from AWS and other cloud giants. These plans are then marketed as shared hosting plans, VPS plans, or reseller plans.
Bottom line: If something goes wrong with your small reseller plan, who are you going to call in the middle of the night?
Small hosts are fading and this is more or less an irreversible trend. Data centres are insanely capital-intensive; they’re the Internet equivalent of power stations, they keep getting bigger and more efficient, while at the same time competing to offer lower pricing and superior service. This obviously involves a lot of investment, from huge facilities with excellent on-site security and support through air-conditioning, redundant power supply and amazingly expensive Internet infrastructure. On top of that, hosts need a steady stream of cutting edge hardware. Flagship Xeons and SAS SSDs don’t come cheap.
There is simply no room for small players in the data centre game.
Small resellers still have a role to play, usually by offering niche services or a localisation, including local support in various languages not supported by the big host. However, most of these niches and potential advantages don’t mean a whole lot for the average developer.
Less than a decade ago, the industry revolved around dedicated and shared hosting, and I don’t think I need explain what they are and how they work.
Cloud services entered the fray a few years ago, offering unprecedented reliability and scalability. The latest industry trends offer a number of exciting possibilities for developers in the form of developer-centric Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) offerings.
PaaS is the new black for many developers. How does it compare to traditional hosting?
Most developers are already familiar with big PaaS services like Heroku, Pantheon and OpenShift. Many of these providers began life as platforms for a specific framework or application. For example, Heroku was a Ruby-on-Rails host, while Pantheon was a Drupal managed-hosting provider, which expanded to WordPress.
Ability to work with other developer tools like GitHub.
Supports Continuous Integration (CI) tools like Drone.io, Jenkins, and Travis CI.
Allows the creation of multiple, clonable environments for development, testing, beta, and production.
Supports various automated testing suites.
Best of all, many PaaS providers offer free developer accounts. Heroku and Pantheon both allow developers to sample the platform, thus encouraging them to use it for projects later on. In addition, if one of these experimental projects takes off, developers are likely to remain on the platform.
It’s clever marketing, and it’s also an offer a lot of developers can’t afford to ignore. PaaS is here to stay and if you haven’t taken the plunge yet, perhaps it is time to do a little research and see what’s out there.
Dedicated and shared hosting aren’t going anywhere. They were the mainstays of web hosting for two decades and they’re still going strong. A lot of businesses rely on dedicated servers or VPS servers for their everyday operations. Some businesses choose to use cloud or PaaS for specific tasks, alongside their existing server infrastructure.
In some situations, PaaS can prove prohibitively expensive, but powerful dedicated servers don’t come cheap, either. The good news is that PaaS can give you a good idea of the sort of resources you will need before you decide to move to a dedicated server. Further, PaaS services tend to offer better support than managed VPS servers or dedicated servers.
Of course, all this is subjective and depends on your requirements and budget.
PaaS, dedicated servers, VPS plans, or your own slice of the Cloud. What should a freelance software engineer choose?
Call me old-fashioned, but I still believe dedicated servers are the best way of hosting most stuff. However, this only applies to mature projects; development is a whole other ball game. Managed dedicated servers offer exceptional reliability and good levels of support, along with good value for money.
Cloud services are inherently more efficient than dedicated hardware because you only use the resources you need at any given time. For example, if you are operating a service that gets most of its traffic during office hours (from users in the Americas), your dedicated server will be underutilised for 12 to 16 hours. Despite this obvious efficiency gap, dedicated servers can still end up cheaper than cloud solutions. In addition, customers can customise and upgrade them the way they see fit.
Cloud is catching up, but dedicated servers will still be around for years to come. They’re obviously not a good solution for individual developers, but are for a lot of businesses. VPS plans cost a lot less than dedicated servers and are easily within the reach of individual developers, even though they don’t offer the same level of freedom as dedicated servers.
What Does This Mean For Freelancers?
The good news is that most freelance software engineers don’t need to worry about every hosting option out there. While it’s true that different clients have different ways of doing things, in most cases it’s the client’s problem rather than yours.
This does not mean that different hosting choices have no implications on freelancers; they do, but they are limited. It is always a good idea to familiarise yourself with the infrastructure before getting on board a project, but there is not much to worry about. Most new hosting services were developed to make developers’ lives easier and keep them focused on their side of the project. One of the positive side-effects on PaaS and cloud adoption is increasing standardisation; most stacks are mature and enjoy wide adoption, so there’s not a lot that can go wrong.
Besides, you can’t do anything about the client’s choice of infrastructure, for better or for worse. But what about your own server environment?
There is no one-size-fits-all solution; it all depends on your requirements, your stack, and your budget. PaaS services are gaining popularity, but they might not be a great solution for developers on a tight budget, or those who don’t need a hosting environment every day. For many freelancers and small, independent developers, VPS is still the way to go. Depending on what you do, an entry-level managed dedicated server is an option, and if you do small turnkey web projects, you may even consider some reseller packages.
The fact that big hosting companies continue to compete for developers’ business is, ultimately, a good thing. It means they’re forced to roll out timely updates and offer better support across all hosting packages in order to remain competitive. They are not really competing with PaaS and cloud services, but they still want a slice of the pie.
Remember how PaaS providers offer developers various incentives to get on board, just so they could get their business in the long run? It could be argued that conventional hosting companies are trying to do the same by luring novice developers to their platform, hoping that they will be loyal customers and use their servers to host a couple of dozen projects a few years down the road.
Although the hosting industry may not appear as vibrant and innovative as other tech sectors, this is not entirely fair. Of course, it will always look bland and unexciting compared to some fast-paced sectors, but we’re talking about infrastructure, not some sort of get rich quick scheme.
The hosting industry is changing, and it is innovative. It just takes a bit longer to deploy new technology, that’s all. For example, a logistics company probably changes its company smartphones every year or two, but its delivery vehicles aren’t updated nearly as often, yet they’re the backbone of the business.
Continual development and growth of Cloud and PaaS services.
Evolution of managed hosting into quasi-PaaS services.
Increasing integration with industry standard tools.
New hardware might make dedicated servers cheaper.
Cloud and PaaS services will continue to mature and grow. More importantly, as competition heats up, prices should come down. The possibility of integrating various development tools and features into affordable hosting plans will continue to make them attractive from a financial perspective. Moving up on the price scale, managed hosting could also evolve to encompass some features and services offered by PaaS. If you’re interested in hosting industry trends, I suggest you check out this Forbes compilation of cloud market forecasts for 2015 and beyond.
Dedicated servers will never be cheap, at least not compared to shared and VPS plans. However, they are getting cheaper, and they could get a boost in the form of frugal and inexpensive ARM hardware. ARM-based processors tend to offer superior efficiency compared to x86 processors, yet they are relatively cheap to develop and deploy. Some flagship smartphones ship with quad-core chips, based on 64-bit Cortex-A57 CPU cores, and the same cores are coming to ARM-based server processors.
As a chip geek, I could go on, but we intend to take an in-depth look at the emerging field of ARM servers in one of our upcoming blog posts, so if you’re interested, stay tuned.
I am tired of hearing paid hosting reviews. It's great to read an article from someone that does not want to take a cut from hosting deals. I am old fashioned too and would recommend new freelancers to start with a VPS like I did, because it is reliable and not too costly. Once your system scales, it is very difficult to beat a cloud setup.
I came from a VPS service provider. I have jumped into the deep end of the cloud pool. Like Thiago described below, you cant beat a cloud setup and its ability to allow you to scale up and out. Beyond the 'compute' side, the tooling that can be layered on top (AI/ML, IoT, Data Lakes, etc) are at your fingertips, instead of a monumental effort to build out such capability within ones own 'castled' pavilion. Public cloud is here to stay and will continue to increase. Please don't misunderstand, there will continue to be a need for dedicated equipment; however, the business will demand usage of public cloud more and more because it will augment delivery of product, solutions, services to the marketplace much faster than a company's supply chain management / procurement cycles will allow: The percentage in the cloud will continue to increase.

The coming flu season is to be dominated by the swine flu. Most people have to rely on themselves to manage it, from prevention to treatment. Traditional Chinese Medicine may offer the solution we need.
Now summer is behind us, we are entering the flu season. While it comes each year, this time something is different. It is the new swine flu (H1N1) virus. Since the virus first jumped in host from pigs to human in the last spring, it has made its way to become a pandemic worldwide through the summer. Luckily, the virus so far turns out mild and is not as virulent as we initially feared. Medical experts and health authorities nevertheless remain highly alerted. They have their reasons.
The 1918 Spanish flu that killed 50 million people worldwide may serve us a lesson. That flu virus started as a mild form that spring, then mutated to the lethal form during the fall when it spread to more and more people. And the flu virus also belongs to a H1N1 subtype of flu virus. When the number of people who get infected by the virus increases rapidly, probability of mutations of the virus is much higher and the risk thus exists that a more virulent form of the H1N1 flu virus may emerge.
In this flu season most flu cases will be swine flu and tens of millions of Americans may get infected by the swine flu virus based on the flu cases reported this summer. The US health care system may get overwhelmed if serious symptoms develop from the flu. Vaccines for the H1N1 flu virus have already been developed and will be soon made available for free by the US government. The vaccines will be first available to those who have higher risks of developing serious illness after the flu. Realistically, most people who have swine flu will not see doctors and will not be treated with Tamiflu, the sole antiviral drug on the market. We will have to manage the swine flu or whatever flu we contract by ourselves.
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has a long history of fighting various pandemic diseases. Currently in China, swine flu cases have been successfully treated purely with Chinese herbal medicines, according to official Chinese news reports. As a leading provider of Chinese medicines in USA, ActiveHerb is privileged to help our customers better prepare for the swine flu and the flu season with time-tested Chinese herbal formulas. Among the list below, Sang Ju Yin and Ren Shen Bai Du San are recommended by the Chinese health authorities for swine flu prevention and treatment while others are commonly used for cold and flu, each with its own unique consideration. Please read more about each formula to make a suitable choice. Consultation with a doctor is advised.
1. Sang Ju Wan (Pian) (Sang Ju Yin): The ancient formula has emerged as a major Chinese medicine used by the Chinese health authorities for the prevention as well as the treatment of the swine flu. It is best to take it as soon as someone around you has the flu or you just appear to have some flu symptoms like cough and sore throat.
2. Ren Shen Bai Du Wan (Pian) (Bai Du San): The classic formula is another major Chinese medicine recommended by Chinese medicine experts and health authorities for the prevention and treatment of the swine flu. The application of Bai Bu San fits well with the common symptoms of the swine flu, for example, high fever but feeling chill with shivering, headache, stiffness and pain in the head and neck, soreness and pain of the body.
3. Yu Ping Feng Wan (Pian) (Jade Screen formula): A classic formula that is well known in Chinese medicine to strengthen our body's defense to pathogenic factors as if it forms a protective layer of "jade screen" around the body. Studies showed it might reduce the occurrence of flu and act to enhance the immune function.† It is suitable for use in a longer period to offer general benefits for the immune function. We highly recommend it to those who are used to catch the common cold or flu easily.
4. Cold SignoffTM (Yin Qiao Jie Du Pian): The classic formula is popular in China for the cold and flu, especially when the first symptoms such as sore throat, cough, or running nose occur. Its application is similar to Sang Ju Wan (Pian) but the action is stronger.
5. Ling Qiao Jie Du Pian: The formula is modified from Yin Qiao Jie Du Pian. It has the same application as Cold Signoff but is stronger on heat clearance. It is best applied if fever is evident in the flu symptoms.
6. Shuang Huang Lian Wan (Pian): The formula is considered as a major natural antibiotic in Chinese medicine and used widely for the common cold or flu in China. Its action is comparable to Ling Qiao Jie Du Pian.
7. Chuan Xin Lian Kang Yan Pian (Wan): It is another natural antibiotic in Chinese medicine that can be used even when the cold/flu symptoms are fully developed. It may be combined with other Chinese cold remedies like Cold Signoff.
8. CoughsOffTM (Zhi Qi Guan Pian/Wan): The cough Chinese medicine can be used if cough is a predominant symptom of the common cold or flu and if bronchitis or asthma is a concern.
9. Xiao Qing Long Wan (Pian): The classic Chinese medicine is used for cough and asthma. It is applicable if upper respiratory track infection, bronchitis, or asthma is developed after the common cold or flu.
10. Bi Yan Pian: The Chinese medicine is used to clear the congested nasal passages.† It may be combined with other Chinese cold remedies like Cold Signoff.
11. Chuan Xiong Cha Tiao Wan (Pian): It is used when headache is a main complaint among the cold or flu symptoms.

Life & Beyond : NOW 'A KANHAIYA KUMAR UNBECOMING OF A JNU STUDENT': HOW WILL IT FURTHER MUDDY THE WATERS?
NOW 'A KANHAIYA KUMAR UNBECOMING OF A JNU STUDENT': HOW WILL IT FURTHER MUDDY THE WATERS?
An assistant professor of the Delhi University, who is also a former student of the Jawaharlal Nehru University, has come out with an open letter addressed to Kanhaiya Kumar, the arrested and out on bail JNU Students Union president, slamming him for his recent 'reincarnation' and his 'for women' views expressed on the International Women's Day terming him a 'false revolutionary' and misogynist.
And after reading her letter you can feel why she is so outraged - that why she cannot be dismissed.
And the way her Facebook posts with her complaint letters and this letter by the JNU proctor finding Kanhaiya Kumar guilty of the offence, using harsh words against him, and imposing fine on him, have gone viral is emblematic of a trend that is witness to the rise of the social media and how the mainstream media picks threads from it.
This trend picked out Kanhaiya Kumar from obscurity to put him into the nation's conscience in a matter of few weeks only. And social media, well, can be his rapid undoing if he doesn't read the path cautiously now.
Because anything and everything related to Kanhaiya Kumar and JNU is under intense scrutiny now and it is just the matter of days when something hostile will go viral like this revelation by a former JNU student has gone. She had written her first post on Kanhaiya Kumar on February 16, attaching hand-written copies of her complaint, but obviously no one took note of it. Also, the nation's sentiment was more or less with Kanhaiya Kumar and JNU then.
She wrote her open letter on March 3, in the morning and Kanhaiya Kumar was released on bail later in the evening. He delivered a terrific speech that night in JNU that he termed was accumulation of his experiences in the jail. And so how could've anyone noticed this open letter then and there, even if it was very pertinent?
But after this, Kanhaiya Kumar started derailing, like an immature student, devoid of pensive thoughts (though still with difficult words). And so, anti-Kanhaiya Kumar images (and words) started finding inroads - with people now open to listening to the other side of the story.
And when she posted yesterday an unsigned version of this letter from October 2015 - letter that castigated Kanhaiya Kumar finding him guilty of obscene behaviour with a female student - it picked up threads - and went viral today when she posted the signed version of this letter.
This is the classic way the social media works - doing and undoing - making and derailing.
Let's see how this big revelation, that is clearly anti-Kanhaiya Kumar, further muddies the waters. Any attempt to stonewall it or confront it with verbal bravado will only help those who openly opine against JNU.
And for us, the common folks, the loss of another promising leader - it is nothing new - especially after the Aam Aadmi Party experience in Delhi.
Here is the Facebook link of that assistant professor from DU and that former student from JNU.

In a statement issued to the press, Microsoft did not make reference to the unusual step. Instead, it talked about the Release Candidate (RC) 0 "milestone" without mentioning the fact that RC0 is an unknown term in normal Microsoft parlance.
As Hall explained it, the reason for bringing out the unusual RC0 release is that, while customers have been able to download and play with individual parts of Windows Server 2008, they really have been waiting to see the product as one. "They want to test out scenarios, and they can with RC0," Hall told ZDNet.co.uk.
But there will be at least one advantage of the move to RC0, Hall said. "It is feature-complete, and that includes the virtualisation features and the new hypervisor. Now customers get a chance to try that out."

Aylesbury boosted their chances of finishing in the promotion play-off spot in the Southern Counties North with Saturday’s 29-0 win over Stow-on-the-Wold.
After their disappointing trip to leaders Reading last time out, Aylesbury went into this game at Ostler’s Field focusedon securing second place for the third successive season.
And the Ducks increased their chances of that with this bonus-point victory as they scored five tries to maintain their five-point lead back to third-placed Buckingham.
“The game was definitely a tale of two halves,” said coach Dave Larham afterwards.
“But based on the need to win our remaining games we will take it. The game itself demonstrated our potential and the glaringly obvious elements of accuracy and mentality we need to develop further.
“We gave ourselves a fantastic start and scored five tries in 30 minutes. That return showed what we can achieve from a quality forward platform and accuracy and precision in the opposition 22m. The second half saw us dominate possession and territory but our over-arousal was our undoing.
Aylesbury made a perfect start on Saturday when, virtually straight from kick-off, James Woodfall powered under the posts for a try which he also converted for a 7-0 lead inside just three minutes.
Ay’s continued to apply the pressure from the restart and within five minutes of the opening score their dominant forward pack were driving over the Stow try line as prop Andy Hackett dotted down.
More of the same followed and another strong drive from the home forwards created the platform that allowed wing Sam Page to power over.
Woodfall was off target with the conversion but Aylesbury’s onslaught continued with a fourth and bonus-point try soon after as powerful running from James Serrano saw him break through the tackle of his opposite number and sprint across the try line.
This time Woodfall converted and there was no sign of Aylesbury easing up with Page again breaking free down the left to add his second of the day and put the home side 29-0 ahead on just 30 minutes.
That proved to be the final score of the match, however, as Stowe resistant further Aylesbury pressure with the home side guilty of persistent infringements at the break down which prevented them from building up a head of steam after half-time.
Nevertheless, the 29-0 victory keeps them well-placed in second spot going into the Easter break.

TOURS, HORSEBACK RIDING, & MORE!
Closed for the month of April!
Tom and Gene Williams are founders and owners of the Reindeer Farm. Tom grew up on this very farm in the 1950s as a teenager. It was a dairy farm at that time, and Tom has many memories kept in the Colony barn. Thankfully, the house is still standing today.
Tom had a dream of owning a moose farm. He and his father were avid moose hunters with a great appreciation for these majestic creatures. In Alaska, it is impossible to own a moose or have a moose farm, but reindeer, however, are domesticated animals. A new vision was created!
You have the option to enter the pen with 40 of your closest reindeer friends! We are all excited to share our home with you!
In 1987, Tom went to Northern Canada to purchase a herd of reindeer. They were brought here to the farm and taught how to eat grains and local hay. The first herd consisted of 20 reindeer. Since 1987, the herd has been as high as 300 but currently sits at around 100.
Tom and Gene have since passed, but the legacy of the farm lives on through their daughters. Their oldest daughter, Denise Williams Hardy, and her family have been running the farm since 2011.
Today the farm has 100 reindeer, 2 Rocky Mountain elk, Dolly the Bison, Appa the Yak, and Rocky the Moose.
We do trail rides on horseback up the Butte, off-the-farm shows with the reindeer, movies, commercials, home visits, the Running of the Reindeer at Fur Rondy, and more!
If you’ve been to the Reindeer Farm lately, you know we’re always adding products to our gift shop. Did you know you could buy them after your visit, too? Shop our online store and get those souvenirs delivered right to your door!
We’ve got a variety of hoodies for kids and adults, t-shirts, baseball hats, zip-up sweatshirts, and more! Our favorite items to sell are our antler products – whistles, knives, keychains, earrings, and buttons made from real antlers from our farm!
This reindeer farm isn't far outside of Anchorage and the drive is beautiful (of course). We visited as a couple and found it would be appropriate for all ages. The family that owns the farm took us right into the herd and let us feed the deer!
Great For Animal Lovers Like Myself!
This was the cheapest and one of the best things we did on our Alaska trip! We got to feed reindeer, which was so awesome! They are so sweet and love to be fed. Also, got to feed a moose! If you love animals you will love this experience! Can't wait to come back and do this again someday!
The guided tour and chance to feed the reindeer are wonderful opportunities for anyone who likes animals and isn't afraid of them. We even got to "kiss a moose", and they also have a yak and elk in addition to the reindeer. The guide was very informative.
On our way through Palmer, we saw the sign for the Reindeer Farm and decided to check it out. It was awesome! We got to meet orphaned animals brought here, such as Rocky the moose, Dolly the wood bison, a yak, and elk. And, of course, reindeer! Getting an opportunity to enter an enclosure to feed reindeer was fantastic and so much fun!


text: Pearl Farm was our suggested place for our team building. At first, we thought it would never be approved because it is quite expensive at 2,500 pesos per person. Thank God, it was approved by our BPO Head who was currently at Barcelona who at same time appreciated our initiative to do so. Since we haven't had issues to resolve, it became more of a company outing than a team building activity. It was my first time in Pearl Farm and I was amazed by the beauty and luxury of it. It was amazing how they combined native and modern design of cottages. The beach and their infinity pool is very conducive for swimming. The white sand beaches and the delicious food is too good to forget. Thank you Amicorp for the free getaway!

Wisnu Foundation is a nongovernmental organisation established in Bali on May 25, 1993. The idea to establish Wisnu Foundation is based on the environmental problems that occurred in Bali, one of them caused by the 'explosion' of mass tourism.
Wisnu Foundation is working in the field of environmental and social transformation for optimizing the management of community resources through community empowerment programs, eduction, community resource management, as well as data and information processing.
The work and program was designed to realize the creation of a life space together in Bali to achieve a democratic social order, respect for diversity, non descrimination, gender and social justice, respect and human rights, and protect the environment and the local wisdom, so that marginalized communities have the power and strength of space, and political, social and cultural econonomic resources.
Early 2008, The Wisnu Foundation was approached by us to investigate the possibility to produce an environmentally friendly handmade paper using wood fibres. After extensive research and development, the idea became reality and our first handmade pulp paper was produced in August 2009.
We continue to produce paper with the Wisnu foundation through Bali Insan Creative. Our production capacity now stands at 40,000 handmade paper sheets per month.

A new Earth-observing satellite called Sentinel-5P carries an advanced atmosphere-monitoring instrument that can scan Earth at a higher resolution than any other such instrument in orbit. The novel multispectral imaging spectrometer aboard the spacecraft, which is operated by the European Space Agency (ESA), reveals pollutants in our planet’s atmosphere with unprecedented granularity, according to the agency. Sentinel 5P can track gases such as nitrogen dioxide, ozone, formaldehyde, sulfur dioxide, methane, and carbon dioxide that are important to air quality and climate.
Because of the spacecraft’s cutting-edge instrumentation and polar orbit, it is expected to provide daily global gas measurements at wavelengths ranging from the ultraviolet to shortwave infrared at a resolution as fine as 7 × 3.5 kilometers. This resolution provides at least 6 times more detail than previously available, commented Chris McLinden, a research scientist at Environment and Climate Change Canada in Toronto, Ontario.
“It’s like a switch from old TV to a new high-definition TV in terms of air quality measurements,” added McLinden’s colleague Vitali Fioletov, also of the Canadian agency.
Sentinel-5P’s new capabilities will allow scientists to track pollution emissions from individual cities and neighborhoods, ESA officials said during a briefing early this month at which a series of initial, or “first light,” images by the spacecraft was made public. “These first images offer a tantalizing glimpse of what’s in store,” said Josef Aschbacher, ESA’s director of Earth observation programs, during the event.
The initial images will allow scientists to verify and calibrate the spacecraft’s instruments as they continue to fully commission the spacecraft, which is expected to become fully operational a year from now. At that time, the satellite will release data about 3 hours after they are collected, according to ESA.
Sentinel-5P launched from Russia on 13 October after delays resulting from the complex political situation in Ukraine. After the satellite separated from its launch vehicle, ESA maneuvered it into its final orbit and brought it online in just 33 hours, a record for the agency, which usually needs 3 days for the process. Sentinel-5P started returning data on 8 November 2017, 2 weeks ahead of schedule.
The mission of the new satellite, the sixth in ESA’s Sentinel constellation, is to monitor air quality and climate by measuring atmospheric trace gases and aerosols as well as cloud distributions.
Sentinel-5P isn’t the only satellite tracking air pollution, although no others do it as quickly, in as much detail, or for as many gases. The aging Ozone Monitoring Instrument on NASA’a Aura satellite measures many of the same gases as Sentinel but at a far coarser resolution and slower frequency. NASA’s Orbiting Carbon Observatory 2 continually measures atmospheric carbon.
Sentinel-5P steps up resolution but is also designed to provide global measurements of a wide range of gases repeated over the same geographical regions and at the same times of day. This repetition will make it easier to directly create multilevel maps of air quality, helping scientists to understand Earth’s complex systems and to inform policy makers about the impact of initiatives to improve air quality, ESA officials said.
McLinden noted that “we can resolve plumes of nitrogen dioxide and sulphur dioxide from larger natural and anthropogenic sources.” Sentinel-5P “will allow for monitoring at or near the sub-urban scale for the first time,” he said, adding that he sees potential for examining outgassing from the Canadian oil sands.
Sentinel-5P’s spectrometer measures a shortwave infrared channel that is new to the Sentinel constellation. This channel detects carbon monoxide, a gas produced by incomplete combustion.
In a video (below) of Sentinel-5P global carbon monoxide observations, the Northern and Southern Hemispheres show striking differences. High concentrations in the Northern Hemisphere reflect greater industrialization. Hot spots in Amazonia, Africa, and Madagascar stem from biomass burning, with prevailing winds carrying the polluted air into the Atlantic Ocean, ESA scientists explained at the 1 December 2017 briefing. Additional hot spots over China and India indicate both fires and industrial activity, with a pollution plume from China blowing into the Pacific Ocean.
Because of Sentinel-5P’s ability to detect aerosols, the satellite can also monitor volcanic eruptions and the abundant sulfur dioxide gas that they release. The higher resolution of Sentinel-5P means that scientists will be able to detect sulfur dioxide levels with more detail than previously possible, resolving wispy trails of the gas from eruptions that would be seen as pixelated blurs by less sensitive instruments, Fioletov explained.
During the first-light data collection in November, the satellite spied eruptions from Mount Etna in Italy, Mount Agung in Bali, and Ambae in Vanuatu. Fossil fuel–burning power plants, ships, heavy vehicles, and industrial facilities like those that process metal ores also emit sulfur dioxide.
