While purchasing rainforest plants today 2/11/2020 at Taree Council Nursery my attention was drawn to a planted mature Rhodamnia rubescens, a critically endangered shrub, growing in the nursery.
I was surprised to see it with fruit developing.
Myrtle Rust, as expected, was active on the fruit and also on the leaves but the plant was surviving nevertheless.
The plant had really suffered in the 2019 drought but had come back in the spring of 2020.
Not far from this plant another surprise was in store - another critically endangered species, a juvenile Rhodomyrtus psidioides with developing flower buds.
The plant was about 2 metres tall and looked relatively free of Myrtle Rust.
On my own property at Diamond Beach both these species were once common.
Except for a small population of 15 very healthy Rhodamnia rubescens plants all the hundreds of plants of both species that once existed have progressively died since Myrtle Rust hit in the spring of 2011.
This spring, 2020, however I've noted a number of what appear to be root suckers of both species popping up in a few places where no other plants of either species are surviving.
I am monitoring their growth however based on past experience they will grow to about 20-30 cm by which time Myrtle Rust will set them back, if not completely kill them.
Early in 2020 a myrtle rust scientist visited the property and examined the 15 healthy Rhodamnia rubescens plants. Cuttings and genetic material were taken and sent to Mount Annan Botanic Gardens for cultivation and DNA analysis to try to establish if the 15 plants are suckers off one, or a number of plants, or if they are all individual plants exhibiting apparent resistance to Myrtle Rust.
While its unlikely the healthy Rhodamnia rubescens are resistant to Myrtle Rust, if in fact they are proven to be so, or at least partially so, then these plants could offer some optimism for the survival of this critically endangered species.

Developed from a 1938 design by the Messerschmitt company, the Me 262 Schwalbe was the world's first operational turbojet aircraft. First flown under jet power on July 18, 1942, it proved much faster than conventional airplanes. Development problems (particularly its temperamental engines), Allied bombings and cautious Luftwaffe leadership contributed to delays in quantity production.
On July 25, 1944, an Me 262 became the first jet airplane used in combat when it attacked a British photo-reconnaissance Mosquito flying over Munich. As a fighter, the German jet scored heavily against Allied bomber formations. U.S. Army Air Forces bombers, however, destroyed hundreds of Me 262s on the ground. Of the more than 1,400 Me 262s produced, fewer than 300 saw combat. Most Me 262s did not make it to operational units because of the destruction of Germany's surface transportation system. Many of those that did were unable to fly because of lack of fuel, spare parts or trained pilots.
The Me 262A on display was brought to the United States from Germany in July 1945 for flight evaluation. Restored by the 96th Mobile Maintenance Squadron, Kelly Air Force Base, Texas, in 1976-1979, it is painted without operational unit markings as an aircraft that has just left the production line.

This is a map I got from Wikipedia -- perfectly legal, of course. It's an SVG, so I could conceivably color the counties different colors.
But lately, I notice my brother wizards have developed a distaste for colored drawings, even if you color inside the lines, as my kindergarten teacher insisted is the only way.
Ah, well. Nothing wrong with gray areas, I guess. They're just a little dull.

Using pioneering new technologies in Superfoods and nutrition, CFTRI has developed amazing new products which are on show at CFTRI stall at Pragati Maidan:
· Chia and Quinoa based Chocolates and Laddoos;
· Omega-3 enriched ice-cream;
· Multigrain banana bar
· Fruit juice based carbonated drinks.
New Delhi, 24th November, 2016: CSIR-Central Food Technological Research Institute (CFTRI), the premier national institute for food technology is exhibiting a range of new agri-products now grown in India, called Superfoods that bring health and nutrition best practices to everyday eating and living to the common man. The exhibits by CFTRI at the Trade Fair at Pragati Maidan in New Delhi both impress and surprise with the range and scope of their utility and potency.
The Indian population is presently going through a nutrition transition and there is an increase in incidence of diabetes, impaired heart health and obesity while there is still rampant malnutrition in the nation.
Keeping in mind an effective solution needed to address these concerns, CSIR-CFTRI is working on bringing Superfoods to the Indian population. CFTRI works on various facets of food technology, food processing, advanced nutrition, Superfoods and allied sciences. Superfoods are foods which have superior nutrition profiles which upon regular consumption can help improve health and wellness of the consumer.
CFTRI has developed the agro-technology for growing Superfoods viz. Chia and Quinoa in Indian conditions. Chia is the richest source of omega-3 fats from a vegetarian source and Quinoa has excellent protein quality and low glycemic load carbohydrates. Comprehensively, Chia and Quinoa have potential to improve population health and both blend seamlessly into traditional food preparations.
CSIR-CFTRI also infuses the spirit of entrepreneurship in their students. One of the doctoral students after completing her academic program started her own technology provider start-up company, Oleome Biosolutions Pvt Ltd. In a global first, CSIR-CFTRI in collaboration with Oleome, has developed a 100% vegetarian, Omega-3-enriched Ice cream called “Nutriice” using Chia oil.
CSIR-CFTRI is also in the process of the final phase of testing of diacylglycerol (DAG) oil, a unique cooking oil that has “Anti-Obesity” functionalities. One can consume it as part of daily regular diet and while the oil is available as energy but does not get stored as fat in our bodies. The final phase of human clinical trial is presently under progress.
CFTRI has also designed and developed snacks with advanced nutrition designs to support the nutrition needs of growing children. These have been implemented in the aganwadi levels to complement the existing government mid-day meal and will be scaled up soon. The products, such as Nutri Chikki with spirulina, rice beverage mix, high protein rusk, energy food, nutri sprinkle, seasame paste and fortified mango bars have been well received by the children and the anganwadis alike. Multi-grain Banana bar is a new addition to in this product portfolio.
Another exciting area of multidisciplinary research being done at CSIR-CFTRI is on nanotechnology, food technology and nutrition. Nanomaterials are known for their characteristic properties and CSIR-CFTRI is working on the use of nanoparticles for various applications. One of our interesting developments is the design and development of food packaging material with nanoparticles with antimicrobial and antioxidant properties to improve shelf-life of processed foods.
CSIR-CFTRI is also working on “Smart Foods” to answer specific needs of the consumer. These promising and specifically designed innovations are being developed for better sleep, better skin health, improved digestion, better cognitive performance and better stress management. The high science is brought into a simple food product, like a cereal bar which helps one to be more attentive over the day, or a unique dosa mix that helps in working out better at the gym with lower perceived exhaustion and even a special soup to help sleep better at night!
Speaking on the sidelines of the CSIR-CFTRI exhibition at Pragati Maidn, Prof. Ram Rajasekharan, Director, CFTRI said “Our mandate is to find innovative solutions to India agricultural and nutritional challenges. Our aim is to develop products to make Indian agriculture productive, efficient and at a consumer level gradually replace drugs with foods that will promote better health and wellness. We strive to deliver our best in improving food security and nutrition security, also developing a stronger, smarter and healthier India”.

ZoomCharts at DevClub.lv: Developing a Javascript SDK
On January 15, 2015, ZoomCharts Co-Founder and CTO Viesturs Zariņš presented at DevClub.lv - a community of Latvian IT specialists that gather monthly and host free talks, presentations, and events to allow the local IT community to share knowledge, network, and communicate. Zariņš discussed the unique challenges faced in developing JavaScript SDK.
Here is a brief overview of his PowerPoint presentation on ZoomCharts, the world’s most interactive data visualization software that will support all your data presentation needs with incredible speed.
What is ZoomCharts?
What defines ZoomCharts advanced data visualization software? It is NOT another HTML5 charts library. It is:
- Interactive
- Fast
- Touch enabled
- Supports big data
A long time ago
DOS 6.2 allowed for:
- 320x240x8bpp
- Direct access to pixels on screen
- Assembler for performance
Today, the Web has finally caught up in the graphics department. Now, we have access to:
- Multiple browsers and rendering technologies
- Multiple resolutions
- Performance that varies by browser and device
Development setup:
- We write in JavaScript
- Commit to GitHub
- Build system in JavaScript
- Debug in Chrome
- Run automated tests
- Like WebStorm (and Vim)
Graphics:
Canvas (fast)
SVG (slow)
WebGL (>50%)
Interactive animations:
Zoom in and out of the graph, drag and drop data, all with your mouse or trackpad.
Graceful degradation:
High FPS (frames per second) lets you scale graphics with low image degradation.
Third party libraries:
- Raphael
- Hammer.js
- Leaflet
- Moment.js
Challenges:
- Responsive design: layouts can shift and look nice on desktop screens vs. not so nice on vertical, mobile screens
- Big screen resolutions: uses devicePixelRatio for sharp rendering, but no hardware acceleration beyond 2048x2048
- Safari compatibility: with 100% CPU, input events are blocked and browser locks up; strange code offers fixes
- HTML on canvas: DOM is slow; basic HTML markup must be parsed and rendered manually; text caching helps
Support:
- Process: TrialSupportBuy
- 1 day issue resolution
- #1 Tell me what I did wrong
- #2 Can you do…
Testing:
- Automated tests on every GIT push
Automatically:
- Compare images
- Record performance
- View errors in console
Interactive testing:
- Next step: record and playback
BrowserStack:
- Interactive mode
- Automated: Selenium API
Debugging:
Chrome Developer tools (F12)
- Debugging
- Profiling
- Timeline
Remote debugging available: developer.chrome.com/devtools/docs/remote-debugging

Developing Military Skills for Today

Soldiers from Burnham’s 3rd Land Force Group, and Air Force personnel from Ohakea spent two weeks working alongside each other, preparing for likely operational deployments to sustain current overseas missions.
This was a Combined Arms Task Group exercise which included infantry, armoured crewmen using Light Armoured Vehicles, engineers, artillery, medical, logistics and Air Force personnel, carrying out tasks in Ranfurly, Naseby, St Bathams and through to Omarama before culminating in a live fire exercise in Tekapo.
The exercise was based on a conventional training scenario. Central Otago and the McKenzie Basin were transformed into a fictitious island nation known as South Leziwt. Political unrest had caused tensions, forcing the Army to intervene. Troops headed there to restore order and evacuate any New Zealanders who needed to move. The people of local towns Naseby and Ranfurly helped “act out” the scenario, and were involved in the evacuation.
“Soldiers spend a lot of their training building individual skills but this exercise allowed those skills to be tested both individually and as a group” says the Commanding Officer 2/1 Battalion, Lieutenant Colonel Hugh McAslan.
“Working as a Combined Arms Task Group is exactly what we would be doing in any operation, either here or overseas. Each part of the Defence Force has its own specialty; the power is when they are combined.”

NORWALK – As school districts unfold their Teacher Leader Compensation (TLC) programs, they would do well to drop by Norwalk to see what this district is up to.
Now in its second year of implementation, the district has found that its program is not static. Far from it. Leader titles have changed as needs became more focused. And, indeed, some of the leaders have changed.
“Our TLC is constantly focused on the ongoing needs; it doesn’t stay in one place,” said Dawn Schiro, elementary director of teaching and learning. “We sit down with every group and all grade levels and get all of the feedback on what changes we need to make to ensure all needs are being supported.
“Since we first implemented TLC, we have changed job descriptions. We realized technology is huge so we now have a technology component. Some of the roles we had at the beginning we changed. It is ever adjusting. I don’t know if it will ever be the same from year to year.”
NOTE: Although I have taken several pictures of this grasshopper, I am not particularly fond of them. It is just that I have a camera with a macro lens and I often look for little things. Especially if they are colorful. Hopefully, this little critter will stick around long enough so I can photographically document some of its changes as it matures. I noticed in these recent photographs (Oct 5) that a second set of wings (actually the tegmen) is developing. Compare this to the photos taken on Oct 3 when only one wing was present. Fun.

As of OCT 7 this little critter has moved on.
Some interesting information from Wikipedia:
In this species, the coloration of the nymphs is especially influenced by temperature. Nymphs are various shades of green, yellow, or red, usually with a pattern of black markings. They are often red at lower temperatures, but at higher temperatures, only green and yellow shades occur.
EXPLORELATE
‘Explorelate’ is a concept which has been developed for enriching visitor’s spatial experience of the museum and the city, that links the narratives of artefacts, museums and the city in a way that an individual could relate to them on a personal level and encourages him/her to explore more places, which makes the journey more informative and memorable.
The mobile application integrate the user’s history of previous browsing and the physical geo- location that sense and correlate immediate environment’s information and provide with personalised information to the user. Further, the information which was collected during the journey gets stored and responds later to the events and the activities transpiring around user’s physical geo-location and which might act as an active agent in their everyday life.
My study suggests that there is a missing connection between artefacts, museums and the city and their respective narratives are confined within its physical space, encircled by each other’s space. ‘Explorelate’ aims to break those barriers, which links all the narratives within a single space that is easily available to an individual at any point of time and location. In this way the museum is extended beyond its walls and strives for uniting narratives with an informative lens.
This project has helped me in exploring and defining the fourth dimension of an interpretive space. According to my studies the fourth dimension of an interpretive space is information and narratives that are confined within a space, where other three dimensions are being artefacts, museum and the city and digital media and ubiquitous computing acts as a tool, which converges the four dimensions towards an individual and makes the whole experience concrete and informative.

Polish aid helped to develop agricultural cooperatives in difficult Palestinian conditions. Innovative solutions make it possible to cultivate vegetables without having access to agricultural land and with limited water resources. Crops are cultivated on the balconies, terraces and in the courtyards, and special attention is paid to optimal watering methods. / Dzięki polskiej pomocy w trudnych palestyńskich warunkach rozwijają się spółdzielnie rolnicze. Innowacyjność zastosowanych rozwiązań pozwala na uprawę warzyw bez dostępu do ziemi rolnej i przy niewielkich zasobach wody. Uprawy są zakładane na balkonach, podwórzach i tarasach, a szczególną wagę przywiązuje się do optymalnego sposobu ich nawadniania.

Developed from the Wellesley, the Wellington prototype first flew at Brooklands in 1936. Its fabric-covered geodetic structure was able to absorb heavy damage, and it was the only British bomber to be used throughout World War Two, serving with Bomber, Coastal, Transport and Training Commands. Altogether 11,461 Wellingtons were produced, 2,515 of these at Brooklands.
N2980 is the only known surviving Brooklands-built Wellington. First flown on 16/11/1939 by Vickers’ Chief Test Pilot ‘Mutt’ Summers, N2980 was first issued to 149 Squadron at RAF Mildenhall and allocated the squadron code letter ‘R’ for ‘Robert’. It took part in the infamous Heligoland Bight raid of 18/12/1939, during which over half of the force of twenty-two Wellingtons were shot down by German fighters. The same aeroplane later served with 37 Squadron at RAF Feltwell, taking part in fourteen operations including day and night raids.
On 31/12/1940, while on a training flight over Scotland with 20 Operational Training Unit at RAF Lossiemouth, N2980 developed engine trouble and ditched in Loch Ness. All eight men on board escaped, but the rear gunner unfortunately died when his parachute failed to deploy.
In 1976 the Wellington was located in the Loch by a team of American Loch Ness Monster hunters and was successfully salvaged on 21/9/85 by the Loch Ness Wellington Association assisted by the National Heritage Memorial Fund. Despite nearly forty-five years underwater, the aeroplane was remarkably well preserved. The tail lights still worked when connected to a modern battery and many of the crew’s personal effects remained in the fuselage.
Delivered to Brooklands Museum by British Aerospace on 27/9/85, N2980 is now one of only two surviving Wellingtons but is the only one which saw action as a bomber in operational service.

Developing countries, whose economies often rely heavily on one or two agricultural products, are especially vulnerable to climate change. This graphic shows that with an increase of only 2 degrees Celsius, there would be a dramatic decrease in the amount of land suitable for growing robusta coffee in Uganda.
