* Link to more artist information on the web, plus enjoy online videos.
* Share your experiences via Facebook, Twitter, email or text message.
This update includes layout improvements for newer devices, and other minor bug fixes.
Showcases Des Moines Sculpture Scene!
This app is really useful. If I'm out on a walk or bike ride around downtown Des Moines and want to know more about a piece of sculpture, this app has all the info I need.
A few weeks ago I was showing some out of town friends around and quickly went to this app to see who the artist was as my friend thought a similar piece was in downtown Dallas, Texas. This app had all the info we needed.
YES! Gotta find that room of red light one of these days. All the rumors are true!

This page is a list of various chess resources that I've bought/read/watched along with short reviews of each.
I have a growing collection of chess books at this stage. The issue is finding time to read them all. Still they do look good on the shelf!
I have a few endgame books which I've been looking at. They're interesting books to review as typically you won't really read or understand half of it. At my level I've read max 50% of any of these books but they're still essential, especially as reference books. There's a massive overlap between all of these books but I think it's worth reading about the same ending in multiple books to get a few different explanations on it. Eventually something might stick!
This is a great book. There are 100 endgames covered here with 2-3 pages for most of them. This format is excellent as you can easily focus on the specific ending you wish to study.
Another essential book. This one is split up by rating band so you can focus on the endings specific to your rating. I find the book is well written - I'm a fan of Silman's style here. The topics are relevant - I remember using one of his topics - the deep freeze - in one of my first games and picking up a point against a much higher rated opponent.
I haven't really read much of this - mainly have it to look good on my shelf! It's really comprehensive - not one to be read end to end but instead used as a reference book as needed. I typically look up endings here after I've read them in the Silman or de la Villa books.
I just bought this recently based on the recommendation of Jan Gustafsson at Chess24.com so haven't read it yet. It looks a bit more strategic than the other endgame books and seems an ideal complement to the more specific endgame books above. Also it's probably too advanced for me at the moment!
These endgame books are really good and more applicable to the games I play than any opening books. My main issue with them is that, for example, I can now identify winnning and lost simple king and pawn endgames but I don't know what to do in the phase just before that. I find myself in positions with say a piece and 4-5 pawns each and have no idea what to do. Then stuff happens and I suddenly recognise that I'm in a lost ending. I think the Shereshevsky book covers this type of position so hopefully after digesting that I'll have a better idea of what's going on.
Unfortunately I didn't play any real serious chess as a teenager or in my twenties so I missed out on a couple of decades of building a chess repertoire. So now I have to catch up quickly and I'm really looking for a simple, easy to memorise system. These are the two main resources that I'm using.
This is a video course by Nigel Davies on a complete chess opening repertoire. The black openings extend the Junior Repertoire ones so it's a natural transition. The white openings involve playing d4 instead of e4 so that's a switch but at least now I can play either with white. One of the reasons for d4 is that you play some of the black openings with white so this cuts down on memorization - also the same concepts should apply to both openings.
This is a really great tactics book. The puzzles aren't labelled so you don't know what the required solution is. Instead you just have to find the best move in the position. The positions come from real games so they are realistic.
I picked up a these two books in the States for about a dollar each secondhand. They're fairly slim volumes but have 300 puzzles each. I think they're great and I've gotten great use out of them.
There are lots of chess players streaming on Twitch and Youtube. Here are the ones that I follow.

text: For November 2015, we want to honor two good friends of Benach Collopy (FOBR), Allison Rashkin (left) and Jessica Lang (right), who became U.S.citizens this year. Allison came to the U.S. from Montreal, Canada and Jessica from Costa Rica. Both are spinning instructors at Zengo Cycle in Bethesda. Neither of them had hard cases. But they are the kind of cases that thrill us at Benach Collopy. The chance to help our friends and to share special moments with the people we love. Those of you who know me (Ava), know that I spend a lot of time at spin class. And, usually on the bike at the front of the room was one of these ladies, encouraging, pushing and coaxing greater and greater effort out of me. It is not hyperbole to state that they, and some other fine instructors who, unfortunately, were born in the USA, saved my life. They encouraged me to make exercise a regular part of my life and to take better care of myself. The confidence I gained from their classes allowed me to make some many other positive changes in my life. And they became great friends along the way. That is how we view the practice of law here, as a chance to help our friends achieve what they want. Helping Allison and Jessica obtain citizenship was one small way I could say “thanks” to both of them for the growth they forced out of me.– Ava.

A one day advanced navigation course concentrating on contour interpretation for people wanting to develop their skills for navigating in the mountains in all weathers.
This course is suitable for people who have previous experience with a map and compass and want to progress their skills further. As a guideline people should be happy with taking and following a bearing, pacing, timing, simple contour interpretation and be looking to progress onto the next level.
This course is ideal preparation for people undertaking the Summer or Winter ML, IML and MIA awards, Mountain Rescue Team members and for people who aim to navigate at a high level in all weathers.
We will refresh the key skills of mountain navigation and ensure you have a working structure to your navigation. We will then focus on contour interpretation and utilise contour only mapping (maps that only display contour lines and no other information) to help get your head around contours and map to ground visualisation skills and navigating like a jedi!
My courses are based on many years of practical experience in the mountains as a walker, mountaineer, climber and member of the Llanberis Mountain Rescue team. I use a map and compass in all weathers, day and night most days of the year around the world. Having gone all the way through the UK qualification system I have been assessed to the highest level and have spent a great deal of time looking at the skills involved in teaching what can be a complex subject. I also really enjoy the freedom of being able to navigate in the mountains and it gives me a great deal of pleasure to pass that freedom on. My courses are progressive, relaxed and will equip you with the skills that you need to be self sufficent in the mountains, whatever the visibility!
We run the course in Snowdonia. We have the right to roam in Snowdonia and so are not restricted to staying on footpaths and this helps develop our map to ground reading skills.
I run the majority of courses myself. I hold the MIC and IML qualifications and have many years of practical experience of working with a wide range of clients. I am also assisted by other local Mountaineering Instructors who are good friends of mine so that you get a balanced view and some different opinions. My practical experience on the Llanberis Mountain Rescue Team also adds an additional element to the course. You can read more about my qualifications and experience here.
Once you book we will send you a comprehensive set of course notes and a letter of confirmation, this will include a detailed kit list and details of where and when we meet. The day normally starts at 9:30am in Capel Curig and finishes in the same place at about 4:00pm.
Thanks for the weekend of Navigation & Hill Skills. I learnt so much during the two days and it was all in the good company of other like minded people. The success of the weekend was in most part down to our instructor Huw. His relaxed and friendly style combined with his knowledge ensured that we were onto a winner.
I look forward to doing further courses with you in the future.

Spring is my favourite time of year. The snow finally goes, and the plants awaken from their winter slumber.
Here in Kingston, sometimes winter drags out for a very long time. (That’s one of the reasons I try to visit the City of Kingston’s Greenhouse when it opens for public tours in late winter. I get a dose of spring flowers while the weather is still frightful!) But when the warm weather finally appears I am filled with a humongous desire to get outside and into my gardens!
I’ve been gardening at my house long enough that my gardens mostly run themselves. The spring bulbs pop up and then the perennials come alive. I always add annuals (and veggies in the backyard) but this year I want to start a native plant garden.
Because they are “native” the plants should thrive in the soil and weather conditions (including harsh winters) here.
They are often drought tolerant and very hardy plants.
Provides food and shelter for native animals, including bugs.
But what is a native plant?
I think the term “native” can be interpreted in many ways. For me, I want to find plants that naturally grow in my local area. I also want to take into account the critters that depend on those native plants that may be disappearing due to development. For instance milkweek is very high on the list of plants I want to include in my native garden.
Lemoine Point has a Native Plant Nursery. There is no information online about what plants they actually have, but if you’re heading out for a nature walk, stop by the nursery at the north end of the conservation area. I have never stopped to check it out, but I have driven by and see the hard work the Friends of Lemoine Point are putting into the nursery.
I wrote to a few local nurseries to find out if they have native plants, and if they are marked as such for consumers like me who don’t really want to bother the people working there!
Allison at Sun Harvest took some time to respond to my emails.
Native plant gardening is for those gardeners who appreciate the importance of populating our outdoor living spaces with plants that are resilient, well adapted to our region and are interested in maintaining plant diversity in our landscapes. However, gardeners should become educated on their judicious use in their landscapes, as some native cultivars grow to a scale that some garden sizes simply cannot support. So choose your varieties carefully and make sure that a smaller urban garden can support the growth potential of a certain plant.
Our perennials in the garden centre have variety descriptor signs and we identify varieties as begin Native.
Burt’s Greenhouses is located north west of Kingston off County Rd 6. The address is 539 Maple Rd, Odessa, Ontario.
I grow lots of plants that are native in origin. I don’t always know what people are expecting when something is called native. How narrow a part of North America is it? The other thing is that many plants have been bred for different colours etc so you get as examples a wide variety of Echinaceas and Panicums.
One plant that I am growing for the first time is Heliopsis Burning Hearts. It was bred in Europe from north american plants. It is a wonderful plant that is very attractive to pollinators.
When there is no ambiguity I often mention that a plant is a native on our information signs.
I wrote to a few other greenhouses or nurseries but I either didn’t hear back, or they said they didn’t carry native plants. I did not reach out to the big box stores with greenhouses (Home Depot, Rona, Lowes, Canadian Tire, Walmart etc.) From my experience visiting them I have never seen labelled native plants. Some of the “native plants” are there, but not marked as such – echinacea, lupins, lobelias, goldenrod and so on. If you’ve done your research and know what exactly you’re looking for, you may find them at the big box guys, but I prefer the knowledge base of a garden center where the people really know their plants!
While I was browsing the web for information on native plant gardening I found a great website. It’s simply called Ontario Native Plants. They specialize in ordering and shipping native plants. I spent a good amount of time looking through their great images for some plants I may like to include in my own garden. I wouldn’t order plants online until I have a better grasp of what plants I want and how they will behave (and I may not ever order plants online, but I liked this website!) If you’re an established and experienced gardening, I’d recommend checking them out for your native plant gardening.
Now it’s time for me to get planning. I have a spot in the back of my yard just crying out for some landscaping, so I’m going to go native plant crazy back there. If I can find some spare time (!!) I am going to get out to these greenhouses and take a look at their stock. My kids like visiting greenhouses, so one of these weekends we’ll get out there. Watch my social media for pics from these plant factories!
Do you have any suggestions for me? Here in Kingston, Ontario I’m in zone 5b (or 6a depending on the map you’re looking at.) Is there a favourite native plant you have in your garden? I am open to trying most anything! Leave your thoughts in a comment for me.
This is not a sponsored post. The businesses included here are based solely on my research and their communications with me unpaid. If you are interested in having me write about your business, visit my Work With Me page, or contact me for more information.
That’s the hope Carol! More beauty for less work. Plus we get really dry spells some summers, so I’m hoping to find drought tolerant plants as well!

Jog Falls are unique as the water does not stream down the rocks in a tiered fashion; it thunders down the slope losing contact with the rocks, making it the tallest un-tiered waterfall in India. The beauty of the waterfalls is enhanced by the lush green surroundings, which provide a scenic backdrop. Visitors can hike to the base of the falls and take a plunge in the water. ALSO SEE 5 short trips from Bangalore you must take!
Here, Watkins Platform is a popular point to view the falls. You can also get a scenic view of the falls from the rock outcrop near Bombay Bungalow. The area near the falls is also ideal for trekking. Swarna Nadi riverbank, the Sharavathi valley and the lush green forest around the waterfalls are just as scenic. Other places to visit near the falls are Dabbe falls, Linganamakki Dam, Tunga Anicut Dam, Thyvare Koppa Lion and Tiger reserve and Sharavati River. The best time to visit Jog Falls is during the monsoon.
There are plenty of accommodation options near Jog Falls in Shimoga. The KSTDC Maurya Hotel offers affordable rooms. There is also a dormitory with ten beds. These options are more pocket-friendly as compared to private hotels. It is advisable to book the room in advance especially between August and December since the weather during this time of the year is pleasant.
There are a few restaurants near Jog Falls. Vegetarian and non-vegetarian food are available at almost every restaurant. Though the restaurant at Maurya hotel is decent, carrying your own food and water is a good option.
The average minimum and maximum temperature of Jog Falls is as given below. The best time to visit Jog Falls is also specified.

text: The NHL and NHLPA gave the final whomp to the base of the skull of the 2004-2005 season tonight when the owners of the Boston, Chicago, and several small market franchises put the kibosh on a tentative agreement. Thankfully, Bill Wirtz (the owner of the Blackhawks) is old, so if God is merciful we should be relieved of him someday soon. Few people will be remembered for driving a sports franchise into the ground intentionally. Bill Wirtz is one of them. I pity Blackhawks fans--if there are any left. Hopefully some better owner can resurrect that Original Six franchise like the Illitch family saved the Red Wings from the clutches of the Norris family.

We are pleased to inform you about the release of the Grasshopper–ARCHICAD Live Connection Tool for ARCHICAD 22 Update 4027, Win and Mac (version 2.2).
Grasshopper error messages appear in the Teamwork environment.
We are pleased to announce that the new COBie guide, together with template files, has been released for ARCHICAD 22.
Click here for more info and to download the COBie kit from GRAPHISOFT’s BIM Data site.
COBie is the abbreviation for Construction-Operations Building information exchange, a specification used in the handover of Facility Management information. It provides a common structure for the exchange of information about new and existing facilities, including both buildings and infrastructure. The COBie spreadsheet is a mapping of an IFC schema subset relating to Facilities Management. ARCHICAD uses its robust IFC data exchange capabilities to produce data output that is easily converted into COBie documentation. COBie is mandatory in the UK for government projects and also relevant in the US/AUS market.
The latest published COBie guide was available for ARCHICAD 19, and since the introduction of ARCHICAD Properties and Classification/Property Manager, certain parts became outdated. The new guide helps you to set up an ARCHICAD 22 project for 100% COBie compliant output. The kit contains the ARCHICAD template in PLN format with COBie-related properties, classification systems (Uniclass 2015 or Omniclass) and an IFC export translator. Although GRAPHISOFT only provides templates for Uniclass 2015 and Omniclass, any other Classification system can be included and set by following the Guide.
Today we have made the final versions of our next ARCHICAD 22 (4023) and ARCHICAD 22 Solo (4024) Updates available. We have created and tested packages for the INT, USA, AUS, UKI, NZE, GER and AUT versions so far and they all passed our Quality Control. The Check for Updates feature should notify you about the new version already. We will keep testing the rest of the language versions, and release them as they pass our Quality Control.
In addition to all the fixes that were included in build 4005, this version also includes fixes for the Parametric Profile Hotlinking issues, mentioned in this article.
IFC Model Exchange with ARCHICAD Add-In has been released for Revit 2019 and in the following language versions: INT, GER, ITA, JPN and CHI.
The new Add-In offers extra optional functions to customize the IFC import and export settings of Revit 2019.
The name of this Add-In has been changed to IFC Model Exchange with ARCHICAD (previously: ARCHICAD Connection for Revit) to emphasize its focus on the IFC connection between the two programs.
All language versions are provided in a single download file.
Today we have made the final version of our next ARCHICAD 21 (7000) & 22 (4005) Updates available. We have created and tested packages for the INT, USA, AUS, UKI and NZE versions so far and they all passed our Quality Control. The Check for Updates feature should notify you about the new version already. We will keep testing the rest of the language versions, and release them as they pass our Quality Control.
GRAPHISOFT has been testing ARCHICAD 21 and 22 against the available Beta versions of macOS 10.14 Mojave. Based on our findings, we have also included some fixes specifically for this macOS upgrade, which is going to be released Publicly today as well.
As the Public Release of macOS 10.14 will somewhat differ from the Betas, we recommend early adopter users to only upgrade if they have the option to roll back to macOS 10.13. Otherwise we recommend users to keep using ARCHICAD on macOS 10.13 High Sierra to avoid any unforeseeable issues. ARCHICAD compatibility with macOS 10.14 is explained further in our related Help Center article. This article will be updated with newer information once we have feedback from the macOS 10.14 release.
We have released BIMcloud 2018.2.1. The unified installer package is already accessible on the BIMcloud download site. We have tested the package with the AUS, AUT, BRA, FRA, GER, HUN, INT, ITA, NED, NOR, NZE, POL, RUS, SPA, UKI and USA language versions so far and support for other versions is coming soon.
ARCHICAD 19 is no longer supported. GRAPHISOFT 2nd Tier Support (GRAPHISOFT headquarters) will not process ARCHICAD 19 related cases anymore.
ARCHICAD 20 will not get any more Updates. The recently released Update 8005 was the last. 2nd Tier Support will still process ARCHICAD 20 related cases and strive to provide reasonable workaround solutions for any remaining issues.
ARCHICAD 21 and ARCHICAD 22 will receive regular Updates in the future. The next updates are planned for this Fall.
Today we have made the final version of our last ARCHICAD 20 Update available. We have tested the packages with the AUS, AUT, FRA, GER, INT, ITA, NZE, POL, UKI, and USA versions so far and they all passed our Quality Control. The check for updates feature should notify you about the new version already.
We are not going to release a BIM Server 20 update compatible with this build. Instead BIM Server is now replaced with our new product BIMcloud Basic, so you have to upgrade to that in order to keep working in Teamwork with the new build of ARCHICAD 20. To make sure there wouldn’t be any compatibility issues when users start to upgrade, we will keep releasing the rest of the language versions at the same time we release the corresponding language version of BIMcloud Basic 2018.2.
You can read the Release Notes and download the packages from the Update Download site.
We have released BIMcloud 2018.2. The unified installer package is already accessible on the BIMcloud download site. From this year there is only one BIMcloud package that contains all language versions (see the available languages on the download site) and it can be used to install, extend or update any BIMcloud components.
BIM Server users starting with version 19 can also use the same package to update their BIM Servers to BIMcloud Basic to get the latest fixes and improvements. Please watch this video to learn more about the changes. For further information about the update process please consult with our Help Center article.
The recently launched BIMx Web Viewer has its first update on the BIMx Model Transfer site.
Based on feedback from our earliest adopters, we’ve increased the application speed. Enjoy a significant performance boost when loading a Hyper-model, zooming in/out on a Layout, and opening a 3D model or a Layout from the Hyper-model index.
Other enhancements are the extended maximum Zoom factor and smoother navigation between Layouts.
GRAPHISOFT has unveiled the browser-based version of BIMx, making ARCHICAD content navigable as an additional service of the BIMx Model Transfer site. The BIMx Web Viewer lets users and their clients access the full content of a Hyper-model, including 3D models, documentation and any BIM data without having to install an application or browser plug-in. Users can navigate directly in their browser window on both PC and Mac. Active SSA (Software Service Agreement) holders can easily embed BIMx Web Viewer in their own website to present their company’s portfolio to clients and prospects in a unique way.
Read more about this new BIMx version on the GRAPHISOFT Help Center.
As you might have noticed already, lately Apple has started to become less tolerant with 3rd party hardware devices that are reached through a so-called Kernel Extension. Because of this the CodeMeter driver’s Kernel Extension already needs manual approval on macOS 10.13.
If the above trend continues, 3rd party Kernel Extensions might get completely blocked with macOS 10.14 in September 2018. This means, that users upgrading to macOS 10.14 might not be able to run ARCHICAD from CodeMeter hardware licenses altogether and will need to have their keys replaced with new, compatible ones!

Rihanna does things her own way. From the pop-R&B singles of her 2005 debut album, Music of the Sun, to the give-no-fucks anthems of 2016’s Anti, she’s an artist who defies expectations. In her career, she’s built meticulous control over her voice and image: After rising to fame as a Roc-a-Fella signee, she used her third album, 2007’s Good Girl Gone Bad, to flip the staid dancehall-meets-pop sound of her first LPs and introduce the world to a sexier, darker sound. It immediately paid off in her sultry, hip-hop-infused global hit “Umbrella” with mentor JAY-Z. And with each new record she’s released, the Barbadian star has grown more assertive, assured, and undeniable.
Anyone hoping that ANTI might be Rihanna’s opus, some grand declaration of intent, is likely to be underwhelmed. ANTI is a fun and conflicted pop record, at its most interesting when it’s at its smallest and most idiosyncratic. If the album has a narrative arc, it’s about disappointment: the ways in which the people you trust can still come up short in the end, and how lonesome that can feel.

From crystal-encrusted haute couture to pantsless casual looks, Rihanna’s incomparable eye for fashion is an essential part of her art.

It has passed the 400,000 subscriber mark for its digital cable phone service, edging the company closer to its year-end telephony subscriber goal of 500,000 to 600,000 subs.
It kicked off its Colorado trial of multiple ISPs over its broadband network. Known as AT&T Broadband Choice, it will offer up to 500 customers a choice of 8 participating ISPs for high-speed service, including Excite@Home, EarthLink, Juno, WorldNet, FriendlyWorks, RMI.net, Winfire and Flashcom.
CableLabs said four cable-modem manufacturers and four CMTS vendors have submitted products for the first DOCSIS certification/qualification wave involving version 1.1 products. DOCSIS 1.1 provides the foundation for PacketCable, which will provide an HFC-based, multimedia architecture for VoIP services and more advanced applications. DOCSIS 1.1 and PacketCable also provide the basis for higher-tier differentiated services over cable.
CableLabs announced that more than a dozen companies have joined a royalty-free pool for intellectual property rights (IPR) in the proposed CableHome home networking interface specification. CableHome has a primary objective of extending cable services into the home networking environment. The specs will be issued in stages, with the first group to be issued in 1Q 2001.
CableLabs has completed the second phase of the PacketCable project and has released several new PacketCable interim specifications and technical reports describing call signaling, QoS, and event messaging extensions that will enable cable operators to directly exchange multimedia traffic over managed-IP backbone networks. Known as the PacketCable interdomain specifications, these new documents build upon PacketCable 1.0 and extend those capabilities to cover a national or international footprint.
IDC's new report on DSL in Western Europe forecasts that shipments of DSL kits will grow from 1 million in the region this year to 12.4 million in 2004 and will be mainly driven by local loop access and strong price and service competition among all xDSL players. The report says that Germany will continue to be the largest market throughout the forecast period, followed by the UK and France. ( www.idc.com ).

We made our first trip to Hong Kong this month. Our agenda included speaking at several sessions at VON Asia and meeting with broadband companies based in the region. We wanted to learn more about Hong Kong specifically and the Asia/Pacific region more generally, given its dual role as one of the leaders in broadband deployments and as a worldwide equipment supplier for many elements of the broadband home.
From our friends who had been to Hong Kong, we were prepared for the crowds, the views, the mass of vertical buildings, the shopping and the pervasive emphasis on business. One surprise was how these elements intersected. Most business meetings started by being asked "Have you been shopping yet?" followed by offers of helpful suggestions on where to go. So before we tell you about broadband in Hong Kong, we want to let our Hong Kong hosts know that we did our part for the economy in Kowloon and Stanley. We especially treasure the ceramic oil jar, circa 1720, which now has a prominent place in our house.
Having been returned by Great Britain to China in 1997, it is now a Special Administrative Region (SAR) with a separate governmental system. Hong Kong has a population of 6.7 million and a land mass somewhat larger than New York City. However, much of Hong Kong is mountainous, and the majority live in the central area with a population density higher that of Manhattan. The HK SAR has approximately 2.2 million households and a GDP per capita of US$26,800.
The central area is bi-lingual, with all signs in both English and Chinese. The outlying areas are said to be more traditionally Chinese than mainland China.
The predisposition of the society seems to be to emulate best practices, wherever they may come from. We were told that Hong Kong looks to the US for much of its technology, to Paris for fashion, to Germany for cars, etc. This attitude plays a role in the products they buy, the technology they use, and the government regulatory policies they follow.
Hong Kong's goal is to build on its current position as a trade and finance hub for Asia, so that it can become the leader in the digital world of tomorrow. To support this thrust they have created a project called "Digital 21". Their leaders believe that making the Hong Kong telecommunications market competitive is important in making it an information and technology center and a prime headquarters location for multi-national businesses. Other countries in the region, such as Taiwan and Singapore also aspire to that same goal and have similar initiatives being supported by their governments.
A recent survey by HK's Census and Statistic Department indicates 49% of households have a PC and about 73% of those are connected to the Internet. Companies we visited say that there are about 250k residential broadband accounts, a penetration of ~11% of households. Broadband is currently being supplied mainly by Hong Kong Telephone (200k subs) and secondarily by HK CableTV (50k subs). We'll talk more about both these companies below.
Because space is at a premium, most of the population is clustered in high rise buildings with many (generally small) apartments. This structure means that broadband connections are shared over a compact geographical area compared with the usual single-family dwellings in the US.
The connection between the building and the central office or cable head end is not the only potential bottleneck for broadband services. The other is the in-building wiring which is often controlled by the property developer, although pre-1995 telephone wiring was owned by Hong Kong Telephone.
There were three reasons we felt our time getting immersed in broadband in Hong Kong seemed particularly relevant.
1. Broadband is rolling out rapidly in Hong Kong, providing a good opportunity to assess some of the factors that can create significant penetration.
Broadband penetration is over 11% of households in Hong Kong. This compares favorably with penetration of about 5% in the US. Penetration clearly is a result of both supply and demand.
--Supply is made much simpler in Hong Kong because of its high population density, especially the large proportion of families living in multiple dwelling units (MDUs). Most of the housing is well within the distance limits of DSL. We were told that broadband is now available to 95% of the households in Hong Kong.
Supply is enhanced when there are multiple providers competing to attract the customer. In Hong Kong, the main suppliers are PCCW/HKT (the telephone/DSL provider) and HK Cable/i-Cable (the cable modem provider). Government policies (such as broadband interconnection rules) are designed to attract additional participants to encourage the growth of broadband and Internet use.
--Demand is a function of PC penetration which is high, given the many Asian suppliers, the high level of education and the intense focus on business, fashion and staying current. Internet awareness is very high: URLs are all over signs and newspapers and miniature MP-3 players seemed like fashion statements.
Demand is also a function of price. Unlike the substantial price differential between dial-up and broadband in the US, the price differential in Hong Kong is relatively small. PCCW's Netvigator dial-up service costs HK $138/month (~US $17/mo.) and their DSL broadband service costs HK $198 (~US $25). Cable modem service is priced competitively.
2. Many of the same factors are also important in other areas in the region, including Singapore, Korea and Taiwan, and with similar results.
Korea is currently the hot spot for vendors deploying broadband infrastructure and equipment, particularly for DSL; some telcos elsewhere in the region have reportedly had their equipment shipments delayed because so much equipment is being sent to Korea. In July, broadband penetration was at about 12% and some numbers we saw recently indicate it has exceeded 15%. The government is playing a role in this rapid expansion through the Ministry of Information and Communication. It has, for example, created financial subsidies for innovative new technologies, including those in communications.
Hong Kong is competing with Singapore, Malaysia and Taiwan as a prime location for corporations in the Asia-Pacific region. All are strongly encouraging pro-broadband, Internet-friendly environments.
3. Suppliers based in the Asia Pacific region intend to be strong players in manufacturing low cost, high technology broadband products for markets worldwide.
This is the world's leading region for contract manufacturing and one of the companies we met with supplies components for cable and DSL modems, LAN cards and other networking products. This is the front end of the supply chain for many of the products not yet on the market and it is clear that home networking and home gateway products of various flavors are on the drawing boards and that the demand for broadband modems is expected to accelerate.
We had the opportunity to meet with the dominant telephone company PCCW/HKT; the cable operator HKCTV; and the regulator OFTA. We traded views on the evolution of services and networks, the state of competition and open access and the technologies they are betting on. Here's an overview of what they shared.
Pacific Century CyberWorks (PCCW) was formed after Richard Li's young company acquired Hong Kong's dominant telecommunications company, Cable & Wireless HKT. We met with KH Cheng, CTO; Peter W C Lam, who has responsibility for wholesale services; and Eric Yang, the Principal Network Architect. Here's an overview of what we heard, provided in the form of questions we asked and a boiled down version of our interpretations of the answers.
Q: How will PCCW's role in providing broadband services evolve in Hong Kong? A: PCCW is currently the dominant local carrier in Hong Kong and has gone into residential broadband services in a big way. They encourage the deployment of broadband by having a relatively small price differential between dial-up and broadband service. Their broadband service is available to 95% of the households in Hong Kong (although we suspect the reality may be less because of the control building developers and associations have over the building wiring). There is strong pressure from the government for competition, interconnection and increasingly open access (see OFTA section below). This will accelerate as additional new entrants will be allowed into the market in 2003.
As competition accelerates, the retail market for broadband will commoditize. Building/property developers will continue to have and develop close relationships with service providers. There is also the prospect of players who will compete using direct fiber and gigabit Ethernet with pure IP services, including telephony. To prepare for that future, PCCW is positioning itself to be a "communications ASP" by having a low cost underlying structure and selling wholesale to all providers. They envision having a diminishing share of retail customers and will compete to sell value added services.
Q: How does a company grow in a market as small as Hong Kong? A: The China market is the prize that many companies have their eye on. Most competitors in Hong Kong and the Asia/Pacific region are honing their skills to participate in mainland ventures.
Q: What are the relative roles you see ATM and IP playing in your current and future networks? A: ATM will be used initially since it is widely deployed, even to the building in many cases. But the future clearly belongs to IP and PCCW expects to build its future network and applications on native IP.
Q: How is PCCW going to manage such a significant transformation in both direction and mindset? A: It is a big job, but we have both a technical and a strategic plan.
Our second meeting with PCCW included MT Louie and Chuen Law to see their interactive TV services. These services have been available to their customers for about 2 1/2 years and include entertainment -- especially movies on demand -- news, banking, shopping and karaoke. Their vision of interactive TV focuses on content they specifically port to the service; it does not include integration with live TV, nor does it include standard Internet services on the TV.
The iTV service has about 70,000 subscribers, about 22,000 of whom are also broadband Internet subscribers. The pricing is about HK$238 per month (US$30), including some number of movies, or HK$178 (US$22.50) for the service without movies. There is a bundled price for both iTV and broadband Internet, and there are several promotional offers.
PCCW is clearly an important player with big broadband plans and a very full plate of work ahead. We appreciate their candor and the introductions they provided to help us fill out the competitive and regulatory pictures.
HKCTV has the second largest number of broadband data subscribers in Hong Kong. We met with three of the General Managers of i-Cable, the cable modem service subsidiary of Hong Kong Cable TV.
HKCTV passes 1.3M households with its HFC plant (the rest is still microwave and is being re-built.) They have 500,000 cable TV subscribers and since starting to offer broadband Internet in March have gotten about 50,000 broadband subscribers. Because of the many large apartment buildings they serve, in which each of the apartments is a potential source of ingress, they have chosen to use Terayon modems which have high noise immunity, rather than DOCSIS modems.
One of the most important understandings we gained from this meeting was how different regulatory structures can make significant differences in how competitors are able to participate in a market. HKCTV has built a 750 MHz cable plant and is using 470 Mhz for television services. We assumed they would be free to use the additional frequencies for data services, as an US MSO could. However, their franchise requires HKCTV to provide frequencies to competitors offering TV and data services, and they need to get a license from OFTA to use additional frequencies on their plant. They are presently licensed to use only one frequency for data and when traffic exceeds the available capacity, they must get a license to use additional frequencies or must build additional facilities to divide the traffic.
HKCTV is planning a market trial of VoIP in late December. Such trials have to be approved by OFTA. The trial, lasting up to six months for about 50,000 subscribers will be a "best efforts" second line service. Since it is a market rather than a technical trial, they are planning to use H.323, and are deferring a decision on other protocols until committing to a service roll out. Part of the rationale for targeting second line service is that most customers already have a mobile phone which can provide primary line capabilities.
While we saw many differences between Hong Kong and the US, we were struck by the familiar contrast between the environments and cultures of the telco and cable participants. The telcos are the big, established, well-financed, well-staffed players, while the cable company has more of the plant and engineering driven, no-frills, "get it done--fix it later" heritage.
OFTA (Office of the Telecommunications Authority) is the HK telecommunications regulatory organization. Its Web site provides excellent information about the Hong Kong regulatory structure, goals and policies. Their policies are pro-competitive and pro-liberalization.
OFTA has been studying the question of broadband interconnection and issuing consultation papers in the process of finalizing a regulatory framework; the actual broadband interconnection statement was issued on November 14th while we were in Hong Kong. These papers present very clearly the arguments of multiple stakeholders and the rationale for the decisions reached. The net of their ruling was to mandate line unbundling/sharing and broadband open access for both wireline telephone and cable and to intervene in situations only when commercial negotiations between parties fail.
We had the opportunity to meet with Lawrence Kwan, Acting Chief Telecom engineer, to discuss the ruling. Because Hong Kong is small relative to many countries working on pressing issues like broadband interconnection, OFTA tries hard to find and emulate best practices and learning from other countries. This is clearly a huge job, given the range of complex topics which are current.
Hong Kong has been successful in introducing competition in wireline based fixed networks, in encouraging Internet access growth (there are over 100 ISPs although there are about 10 large ones), and current regulations aim at eliminating bottleneck facilities for broadband. The translation of their broadband interconnection rulings into practice, especially in the area of in-building wiring, appears to have some challenges still ahead.
We're especially interested in OFTA's approach to opening the cable TV plant to competitors. The November 14, 2000 statement mandates frequency sharing of both plant and in-building coaxial cable, and reiterates their original licence requirement that HKCTV provide open access. OFTA is emulating what they see as the Canadian model for open access to the cable plant. The devil is in the details regarding how this mandate will be translated into action.
We gave two talks at the recent VON Asia conference, one on the present state of broadband access systems and approaches to telephony over broadband, the second on home networking and home gateways.

What Comes Next - The Network or the Gateway?
Those of you we've been fortunate enough to meet may have noticed that we (Sandy and Dave) don't necessarily agree on everything. As we've been planning for the spring conference, we're having another friendly debate "What comes next in the broadband home, the network or the gateway?"
With the majority of North American homes able to receive cable modem or DSL service, and satellite services now rolling out as well, broadband access is starting to be taken for granted (though you couldn't prove it by us - we still can't get it!). But access is just the first element of "the broadband home". Home gateways, home networking, new devices, and new applications and content are additional pieces of the puzzle.
Sandy: "Home networking comes next after broadband access." Once people have broadband access, they start fighting over who uses the PC; even if they didn't have a second PC before, they quickly get one. Then the issue is how to share the fast pipe to the Internet. At that point they start asking their computer-savvy friends how to do it; networking the machines is the obvious answer. Since there are already 20 million US homes with more than one PC and only a million are networked today, there's a great opportunity for the home networking products rolling out next year which don't require any new wiring.
Dave: Yes, but the minute they try to install the network, they discover they need a way to share the IP address the broadband provider gives them so both PCs can be connected at the same time. They could call the broadband provider and they'll discover that most will charge extra for each additional IP address. And they're probably on their own in setting up the addresses, since service providers don't generally provide support for home networking. Instead of paying 5 to 10 dollars a month for each additional address, they could buy a simple gateway for $100 or so which automates address assignment for as many PCs as they want. And it also provides a firewall for security.
Sandy: True, but that's a pretty primitive "gateway" - it's really just a simple router and their computer-savvy friends will tell them to buy it along with the network. The emphasis at first is on sharing the high-speed Internet connection, not on the many additional features a real gateway can provide, like personal portals and telephony.
Dave: Yes, that makes sense if the gateway is primarily serving our needs. But service providers are interested in providing the gateway because they want to generate additional revenue from additional machines -- which are, after all, using more bandwidth. They think you'll find their ability to do remote management of your network configuration well worth paying for. They'll throw in the router and firewall for added security, and many of them have in mind integrating multiple lines of telephony and other value-added services. So they're interested in putting in the gateway -- which might also include a network to make it easy for you to connect additional machines and make them more money.
So, tell us what you think. Do gateways and networks go in together, or do providers and vendors need to focus on one step at a time to bring consumers along the path to the broadband home? We'd love to hear from you - write us at editor@bb-home.com.
The good news is that Broadband Home Spring 2001 will have multiple sessions on both networking and gateways, as well as updates on the emerging devices and applications. So we'll have lots of opportunities to explore their evolutions and interrelationships.
The conference schedule including session topics will be available soon. Keep an eye on www.thebroadbandhome.com/bbh2001/index.html for more information including registration and hotel reservations.

I had the opportunity to visit Gyeongju World this past weekend and see their new expansion, Dragon Valley, which includes their new B&M Dive coaster, Dragon. Gyeongju World is located in the southeast part of Korea and is around a 2.5 hour KTX (high speed train) ride from Seoul. Gyeongju is one of the more historically-significant cities in Korea and has a ton of cultural sites to see including palaces, tombs, and museums. If you do visit Korea, do yourself a favor and spend a few days there.
So overall, Gyeongju World did a nice job with this expansion. In addition to Dragon, the park added a Zamperla Air Race, looping frisbee, and...a Dunkin Donuts! Having ridden Griffon at Busch Gardens several times already, I didn’t expect anything different from Dragon. However, I was quite surprised. The transitions seemed to have a bit more ‘snap’ to them. Plus, the park did a fantastic job with the entry and station theming. The trains, unlike Griffon, are 8 seats across but do also feature the ‘old’ B&M restraints.
I first visited Gyeongju World 3 years ago and while it was a nice park, I found myself satisfied and ready to leave after 2-3 hours. I’ve lived in Seoul since 2012 so I’ve honestly become a bit bored of T-Express (gasp!) and Lotte World. Having two B&M’s in one park now makes this a ‘must stop’ for coaster nerds visiting Korea.
So this TR starts at an English school on a Saturday. I teach a debate class to a bunch of rascals (term of affection) and today our book topic was, “are girls better than boys?” This little guy, Tony, was adamant that girls are not better than boys.
Any Airbnb that provides candy and ‘mystery’ tablets is fine by me. Yolo!
Coffee! The Starbucks across the street provides a nice view of the new coaster.
Take a right and you’ll find the entrance to the new Dragon Valley.
Next up was Crack: The Ride....err Klake, I mean. I was unsure of trying Crack, but many people seemed to enjoy it and were acting all crazy. I rode it and loved it. In fact, I became addicted to Crack! It’s seriously awesome!...be sure to try it.
After getting off Crack, I was feeling quite parched so I decided to stop in to ye olde Dunkin Donuts for a beverage.
As my friend asked, “why would you possibly need a straw for that cup of chicken?” Answer: there’s a small cup of chicken on top of the cola (or “pop” where I’m from) and it’s awesome!
The park’s Ferris wheel gives you great views of Dragon and the rest of the park.
Hey Tagada’s are always awkward fun. The park also has dogs and mechanical livestock for you to ride around on.
Next up was Phaethon. It’s a decent invert. This had the longest line of the day so I only rode once.
So after riding Dragon a few mores times and doing Crack again, I decided to head out after spending about 4.5 hours at the park. They have a flume, rapids, and a wave ride but I wasn’t in the mood to get wet. Overall, it’s a nice park that I recommend visiting if you’re in Korea. And remember, Gyeongju World will always love you! Thanks for reading!
Amazing report! Your pictures were great! I'm glad you had a wonderful time!
Thanks for the update!! It looks really great. We were in the Seoul area a few years ago and had a wonderful time - we'd love to make it back and see some of the rest of the country. You're right, this + Phaethon makes this park nearly unavoidable. Next time!
This looks like a very nice park. The dive coaster does look like a Griffon clone, which isn't a bad thing.
Great TR! The park really seems like it's becoming more 'real' as opposed to before it felt like a small fair type park that added a B&M by accident!
Excellent report and pictures! Dragon seems to be a great addition to this park. Thanks for sharing.
Great report! It's so weird seeing an orange Griffon. I almost never hear anything about Phaethon too and usually forget it even exists.
Many thanks for this most enjoyable TR!
P.S. I LOVE Korean cuisine and am lucky to live a few subway stops from a Korean area in NYC. I've tried almost everything -- except chicken and cola. It's not on the menus...yet!!
^Lotte World offered fried cheese curds on top of soda! I love this trend and can't believe of all places it hasn't made it to America!!!

This month's workshop was on Kid's celebrations, and featured a focus on using watercolour pencils. Found them a bit frustrating at first, but once I got the hang of it, I liked it...and may even use them more!
First up, a birthday card for a girl.
Next up is a card for a new born baby boy. One of the girls I work with had a baby boy not too long ago, so we have ended up sending this card to her. Have to admit that it secretly gives me a little thrill to know that people are actually receiving the cards that I am now making.
The final thing that we made was a birthday party invitation, presumably for a younger child. I have to say that given the intricacies involved in this (stamping, embossing, colouring etc) I would only be doing this if there were only a couple of families that were coming or someone else was assisting...otherwise it is far to time consuming to have to make 20 or so! It does look good though!
I did place a big order this month as well - well it was really only one thing, but it's a bigger expense than I would normally order! More on that when I actually get it!
Are those buttons you used in the blue and yellow card with the animals? It looks good!
They are buttons. The girl who leads the workshop loves her buttons, and had about 15 different shades of blue that we could choose from - all different shapes and textures as well. Not so many yellows.
So far I have resisted the urge to buy buttons myself. Let's see how long that lasts shall we!
Where do you get those stamps??? :) I love them!

Discover Wich Are The Popular Samba Schools Of Rio Carnival And How Popular Are Carnival Rehearsals.
The Samba schools and their parades are the most famous and popular part of the Carnival in Rio. This year will be no different with performances from all the Samba schools in Rio. Samba rehearsals are just as popular as the main event itself and can be watched months before the start of the Carnival in 2018. Rehearsals are held in about every inch of free space that is available including streets, clubhouses and warehouses. Visitors have the opportunity to watch these Samba rehearsals at the Sambodromo and even take part in them if you so desire.
Rio is home to more than a hundred Samba schools and all of them have their own unique parades during the Carnival. Samba rehearsals are held all through the year with the hard work and practice culminating in the Sambodromo on the night of the Samba Parade. Some of the popular schools in Rio are Imperatriz Leopoldinense, Uniao da Ilha, Portela, Salgueiro, Beija-Flor, Porto da Pedra, Grande Rio, Vila Isabel, Mocidade, Sao Clemente, Unidos da Tijuca and Mangueira. Most of them have very distinct and elaborate parades that involve a large number of people and Samba rehearsals lasting all year. Nevertheless locals and tourists are allowed to be a part of their parade if you can attend the Samba rehearsals held before the parade.
During the Carnival and the few months before it, the entire city of Rio becomes a big practice ground for Samba schools. Most of them advertise their Samba rehearsal venues so that people can watch and also practice to be part of the parade during the Carnival. Samba rehearsal schedules are usually posted in public places and most hotels. Cab drivers can easily take you to a school that is having its rehearsal or hosting a Samba night that can be attended free of cost.
Most of the large Samba schools have a hall where their Samba nights are held. Their administrative work is also done here but the production unit is elsewhere and this is where the floats and costumes are made. Samba rehearsals are held in the Sambodromo from as early as November of the previous year. Admission is free of cost and gives you a chance to experience the festive spirit if you are visiting Rio during the non Carnival period. Samba rehearsals in the Sambodromo are sans costumes and floats but are still a treat to watch with all the dancing and music involved.
All you have to do to be a part of the Samba parade on the big day is to get yourself the costume of a particular Samba school. This will be available by the beginning of December and can be easily booked online. You will not need to attend any Samba rehearsals if you just want to be part of the procession at the end of each school’s performance.

Foreign-invested companies in the Korean manufacturing sector have seen their combined R&D investment nearing KRW 2 trillion. According to a survey on foreign-invested companies’ 2011 managerial performance, conducted by the Ministry of Knowledge Economy (MKE), the value of R&D investment by foreign-invested manufacturers surged 40% from KRW 1.33 trillion in 2010 to nearly KRW 1.86 trillion in 2011. Their share of the Korean manufacturing industry also rose from 5.4% to 7.1% during the same period.
The survey looked into 1,000 companies, over 10% (over USD 500,000) of which were owned by foreign investors as of the end of 2011. Overall, foreign-invested companies’ contribution to the domestic economy has also been on the rise. As of 2011, the number of employees on their payrolls gained 17,000 year-on-year to 501,000. Noteworthy is that foreign-invested manufacturers led job growth by taking on 22,794 new hires in 2011. Their exports also ticked up USD 8.4 billion to USD 100.7 billion and their sales climbed over 20% year-on-year to KRW 482 trillion in 2011.
The key economic driving force behind Park’s administration is based around the convergence of Korean industries with science and ICT. Since her time on the campaign trail, Park Geun-hye has underlined the potential integration of ICT with diverse industries such as service, culture, and electronics to generate a new growth engine for Korea’s economy.
The coming Park Geun-hye government is expected to take a two-track policy of promoting exports of nuclear power plants while curbing expansion of the industry at home.
The outline of 140 major projects that the presidential transition committee unveiled on Thursday said the new government will support exports of nuclear plants in an attempt to boost the economy. But it didn’t present a clear direction on the increase of nuclear reactors at home. The president-elect has continued to stress the safety of nuclear plants rather than capacity expansion.
The renewed nuclear power policy direction was confirmed in the final version of the 6th Basic Plan for Long-Term Electricity Supply and Demand for 2013 to 2027, which the Ministry of Knowledge Economy released on Friday. According to the plan, demand for electricity is expected to increase 3.4 percent on average per year between 2013 and 2027. Based on the prospects of rising demand, the ministry also unveiled plans on increases of electricity generation facilities by energy sources except nuclear power.
In February 2008, Kim Woo-sik’s self-esteem as a scientist crumbled with the disbandment of the Ministry of Science and Technology. Likewise, the event instructed by then-incoming President Lee Myung-bak as part of his campaign pledge of creating a “small government” enervated scores of scientists and engineers in the country.
Five years on, they are now rebuilding the damaged identity with the revival of the ministry that is bigger and even stronger than five years ago. The newly-created ministry, tentatively named the Ministry of Future Creative Science, is already nicknamed “super” ministry because of extensive roles and responsibilities it will take.
But it has triggered concerns about its ability to deal with them without flaws. ‘Super’ ministry Under President Park Geun-hye’s government restructuring plan that is awaiting congressional approval to take effect, the ministry is set to handle almost everything in the fields of natural and applied science, research and information technology that include the nation’s ambitious space program.
South Korea’s struggling shipbuilding industry seeks to find breakthroughs with their focus toward green and energy-efficient ships. The industry’s winning strategy in the ongoing economic recession came from the market landscape where ship owners shift toward green and energy-efficient ships as a way of cutting fuel costs and environment standards are increasingly enhanced.
The nation’s top three shipbuilders including Hyundai Heavy Industries, Samsung Heavy Industries and Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering and even mid and large-sized ones including Hyundai Mipo Dockyard and SPP Shipbuilding bet on building eco-friendly ships, according to the shipbuilding industry Monday.
The nation’s top three shipbuilders are likely to compete in the race to secure an 18,000 TEU (Twenty-foot equivalent units) container ship order issued by the Middle East-based shipping company United Arab Shipping Company (UASC). The orders are worth a whopping $2 billion in total.
2G phones back with a vengeance?
Someone casually pulls out his phone from his pocket during a coffee break in between a series of morning meetings, peers at it for a while before flipping open the lid to start talking into the mouthpiece.
Flip phones are usually feature phones, also called second-generation or 2G phones running on the previous second-generation communication networks, and it seemed like their days had been numbered when smartphones hit the Korean landscape several years ago.
Currently, up to three-fifths of the Korean population uses smartphones, with computer-like operating systems that run high-tech applications for playing games, finding directions, juggling schedules and anything else designed to make life that much more convenient and entertaining. Yet up to 20 million people in the country still use a feature phone, and are refusing to switch. In fact, many are demanding new designs for their “outdated” phones. “We don’t want to switch to smartphones, but we do want our feature phones to look hipper,” said one blogger who is a member of the blog, “For a united “010.” The mobile prefix “010” is the first used for smartphones, and began use with 2G feature phones in 2004.

First off I think coffee really has taken over my life, its all my fathers fault. That man has been feeding me coffee since I was a child. The man is nuts when it comes to coffee , he drinks copious amounts of the stuff and has passed on his love of the black stuff to me as you can see with my coffee mission etc over the past 2 months. This post is more or less a narrative on diffrent coffees I had whilst on holiday last week. I tried not to drink too much but when I did I took some pics of the coffee I am deemed to be good.
The race among Europeans to make off with some live coffee trees or beans was eventually won by the Dutch in 1616. Pieter van der Broecke, a Dutch merchant, obtained some of the closely guarded coffee bushes from Mocha, Yemen in 1616. He took them back to Amsterdam and found a home for them in the Botanical gardens, where they began to thrive. This apparently minor event received little publicity, but was to have a major impact on the history of coffee.
The beans that van der Broecke stole from Mocha forty years earlier adjusted well to conditions in the greenhouses at the Amsterdam Botanical Garden and produced numerous healthy coffee bushes named Coffea Arabica. In 1658 the Dutch first used them to begin coffee cultivation in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) and later in southern India. They abandoned the cultivation to focus on their Javanese plantations because they didn't want to oversupply the market and drop the price.
Within a few years the Dutch colonies (Java in Asia, Suriname in the Americas) had become the main suppliers of coffee to Europe.
As you can see its served in a nice traditional cup, has a good crema on the top, thats a good start in my books. I love when coffee or tea for that matter are served in a nice cup or mug it makes what you are drinking all the better in my opinion. Anyhow the coffee tastes beautiful, I naturally added my Koffie Melk which makes Dutch coffee all the better. Having just arrived in Amsterdam this was the perfect pick me up to get started for the day of sightseeing.
Both me and Joanne stayed at the Hotel Brouwer whilst we were in Amsterdam which I will blog about separately over the coming week. However each day with my breakfast came some good coffee in a French Press. I am generally not a fan of coffee using this method but each morning it was always good and woke me up for my days filled with shopping and touristy stuff.
The Heffer is a bar at the start of the Red Light District and like the Hotel Brouwer I will be blogging on this separately, however they served amazing coffee here, served in a nice glass which is what inspired me to have Joanne :) buy me a gorgeous glass mug in Simon Levelt in Leiden. Again beautiful coffee and it looks so good served in that glass with a thick crema on the top.
The coffee here at Kaldi in Wassenaar is always good, I have been going here for the past 2 years anytime I am in Wassenaar( is a village where my grandmother lives just outside the Hague). Kaldi is a cafe/store, they sell food and crockery. I love coming here just to relax and drink coffee out of their cool Bodum coffee bowls. Its also run by a friendly chap too who is always so welcoming.
Well there you have it 4 of the best coffees from my trip to the Netherlands, to be honest I am still wired from the coffee but thats probably because of the coffee I have been making using my Chemex since returning.


text: Rhenium–Nickel (RexNi100−x) based 3D metallic inverse opals (IOs) were realized via colloidal crystal templated electrodeposition from an aqueous electrolyte. By varying the electrodeposition parameters, x could be varied from 0 to 88. Under reducing conditions, the rhenium-rich IOs were structurally stable to temperatures of at least 1000 °C for 5 h and for at least 12 h after coating with a thin layer of Al2O3. This demonstrated level of thermal stability is significantly improved compared to previously reported electrodeposited refractory inverse opals with similar characteristic dimensions. A strong frequency dependence in the optical reflection, which ranged from ∼5% around 1.5 μm to ∼65% around 5 μm, is predicted by simulations and experimentally observed, indicating the potential of this structure as a high temperature spectrally selective optical absorber/emitter. The elastic modulus of the ReNi IO structure is ∼35 GPa and the hardness is ∼0.8 GPa. Both these properties are much higher than those of Ni inverse opals and other periodically porous materials with similar characteristic pore dimensions. We suggest this work provides a promising approach for thermally stable mesostructured materials for high temperature catalyst supports, refractory photonics and mechanical applications including high temperature filtration, and high temperature actuators.

Aloo Bhujia is one of the most popular munchy snacks that can be had with tea or sprinkled on top of chaat items. Though easily available in the market from big brands and in a number of flavors, they are very easy to make at home. As with all homemade food items, the taste and flavors can be customized and adjusted. Made in a jiffy, these last for many days and can be made in huge batches.
Take the grated potatoes in a bowl or a plate.
Add the seasonings like salt, turmeric powder, garam masala powder, red chilli powder, hing, amchoor, or chaat masala.
With a light hand, knead by bringing everything together.
Roll gently in a log and lightly apply little oil all over it.
Place 2 cups of oil for heating in a thick bottom pan on low to medium flame.
Drop a small piece of the ready batter in the oil to check its temperature.
If it comes up quickly and color changes to light golden brown without burning, the oil is ready.
Grease a chakki maker and add the sev attachment (small holes).
Place the prepared log into it.
Very carefully start pressing the handle to push out sev strands directly into the hot oil.
Add as per the oil taken and the pan size without crowding it.
Fry till the color changes to golden brown on both sides.
Adjust the flame between low and medium so that the bhujia fries to a crisp texture.
Fry the rest of bhujias similarly.
Cool them completely and crush gently to get smaller size strands.
You can add additional flavors like mint, garlic, ajwain etc, as per taste preference.
