World-first discovery of 4D GeoSEIS Tomography Method can help save cost for ore deposits prospecting and 4D Risk Modeling/Monitoring !
* We propose your company partnership on integrating AMT, Magnetic, Gravity, IP, Seismic etc. into multicomponent volumetric 3D-4D GeoSEIS Tomography model:
The integrated 3D-4D GeoSEIS Tomography™ Method is a unique tool of transformations & integration of DEM, airborne thermal & multispectral satellite images, airborne/ground gamma-ray spectrometry and geophysical data (AMT, Magnetic, Gravity, IP, Seismic etc.) into multifactor volumetric 3D-4D GeoSEIS (3D-4D SpaceTime) Tomography Model for exact ranging and forecasting of ore deposits, multifactor volumetric mapping of low-amplitude tectonics, geophysical anomalies and geologic properties of deep structures, cost-effective 4D Geomechanical Modeling/Monitoring: www.flickr.com/photos/jeisus2012/sets/72157626153283579/w...;
The prime commercial focus is a consulting service to assist predictive discovery of mineral & oil-gas deposits through application of advanced multicomponent volumetric 4D GeoSEIS Tomography modeling of spectral brightness and geophysical fields to targeting problems. This emerging 4D GeoSEIS technology is starting to be utilized by exploration companies and has the potential to improve the probability of exploration success by reducing the time and cost involved in discovery.
Outputs:
*Development of data acquisition and interpretation strategies aimed at generating and prioritizing targets for maximum expected value. Such services will most likely be used for targeting ore deposits in areas where the available data is insufficient to generate good 3D- 4D geological interpretations;
*Direct prediction of favorable locations for target ore deposits on volumetric space-time geometries provided by 3D-4D GeoSEIS Tomography model;
*Prediction and prioritization of favorable ore environments in 3D-4D GeoSEIS Tomography models by translation of modeling results - obtained by running a large series of models using simplified geometries for a range of possible ore host scenarios - into 3D GIS;
*Assessment of the relative favorability of terrains for the discovery of certain ore & oil-gas trap types based on the multicomponent volumetric 4D GeoSEIS Tomography modeling of crustal scale magmatic-hydrothermal fluid generation, deformation and fluid flow based on geodynamic scenarios.
* We have used multispectral images of WorldView-2 satellite with 1-2 meter resolution for volumetric 3D GeoSEIS mapping (deep: 500-1500m) with much higher resolution (0,5-2m) than 3D seismic, magneto-telluric, electromagnetic data.
* We have used geophysical data & multispectral images of Landsat 5-7, ASTER, Hyperion satellites with 15-30 meter resolution for predict volcanic/earthquake activity and volumetric mapping of volcano-tectonic structures up to depth 60km: www.flickr.com/photos/jeisus2012/5559736588/in/set-721576....
* Volumetric 3D-4D GeoSEIS models will allow to increase accuracy of tectonic structures mapping on deep horizons to a level of near-surface horizons, that in many times will raise the efficiency and will reduce the operating costs for geological prospecting and explorations.

Mosquitoes and God
Bible school helps children squash malaria, learn lessons
By Sgt. 1st Class Jeff Troth
jefferey.l.troth.mil@mail.mil
CAMP CASEY – Mosquitoes and God may not have too much in common, but they were what 86 children learned about at this year’s Area I Vacation Bible School held at the West Casey Chapel July 23-27.
“Vacation Bible School is about character development and spiritual development,” said Jessica Clark, the coordinator for the school. “It is a place where kids can come and learn about God, and to also learn some positive moral values they can take with them every day of the week.”
Helping others is one of those values that the 3 to 12 year olds learned.
“The most exciting thing is the mission project that we are doing,” Clark said. The children are learning about the African country of Mali and how children there are dying from malaria, a mosquito-borne infectious disease.
The Area I Vacation Bible School students are taking part in Operation Kid-to-Kid’s worldwide effort to squash malaria in Mali. According to the Operation Kid-to-Kid website, malaria is a leading cause of death of children under five, with more than 2,000 children dying every day. The Area I children donated 94 nets, which will protect three children for up to four years. Operation Kid-to-Kid has raised almost $291,000 to purchase mosquito nets for Mali’s children.
“The project really engages the children, because it talks about mosquitoes and that is something that every kid can understand, they have all been bitten by a mosquito,” said Clark. “And they are also helping other kids and they like that too. They can say “hey there is a kid in Mali who is five like me and they are worried about mosquitoes and I can help them to not worry about mosquitoes anymore.’”
Throughout the week they played games to help them understand about the malaria and how the bed nets would help the Mali children. For one game, a couple children were chosen to be mosquitoes; their bite was simulated by tossing rolled up socks at the rest of their classmates. Once those classmates took refuge under a parachute (which represented a mosquito net) the “mosquitoes” bite wasn’t felt.
Those games carried over into learning to trust God, the theme for this year’s Bible school.
“The theme is no matter who you are, no matter how you feel, no matter what – trust God,” said Sgt. Amber Harris, the chaplain assistant for 1st Brigade Special Troops Battalion. The daily lessons also included no matter what people do, what happens or where you are. “Tuesday we did ‘no matter how you feel.’ Whether you are sad, whether you are hurt, whether you are happy, no matter how you feel God is truly there for you and no matter what you can truly trust in Him , because He will always be there for you.”
Although this was “Bible” school, the children didn’t open books to learn their lessons.
Instead they visited such places as the Imagination Station, where they did “sciency fun gizmo experiments and got to be little mad scientists doing all these cool experiments that reinforced what they learned,” said Clark.
“I like the fizzy flyers that we did on Tuesday,” she said. They had to put a tablet in a solution and then watch it explode and rocket up high in the sky. We were learning that no matter how we feel we can trust God”
Clark said the experiment allowed the kids to see that no matter how out of control or unsure they were of an outcome or how apprehensive they felt about doing something – that they can always trust God that he will be there for them.
In the Wild Blue Bible Adventures, Chaplain (Capt.) Bruce Duty, 1st BSTB, acted out with the children Jesus’ last week before his crucifixion. On Wednesday, they prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane, and then hid as the Roman soldiers came for Jesus. They then counted out the 30 pieces of silver that Judas was paid for identifying Jesus to the Romans.
“I love Vacation Bible School because I get to learn even more about God,” said 11-year-old Jacob White . “And, if I trust God then I don’t have to be alone in my life.”
Buenas sr(as)!

Norwood, Bronx
The Williamsbridge Reservoir Keeper's House is the only surviving building in New York City associated with the Bronx and Byram Rivers water system. Particularly between 1884 and 1906, this system served the critical function of supplying the burgeoning western section of the Bronx and helped the city to bridge the gap in the years between the construction of the Old and New Croton Aqueducts. The Bronx River portion of the system was constructed between 1880 and 1889, under the supervision of George W. Birdsall, chief engineer of the Croton Aqueduct in the New York City Department of Public Works.
The fifteen-mile Bronx River pipeline was completed in 1884, but the Williamsbridge Reservoir was not finished until 1889. The Keeper's House, located at the northeast end of the reservoir, was constructed in 1889-90 by contractor Terence A. Smith. L-shaped in plan, the two-and-a-half-story house is built of rock-faced, variegated gray-tan gneiss ashlar with smooth, speckled-gray granite trim, including keyed enframements. In 1925, when it was no longer needed, the reservoir was drained; it was later converted into a playground. The Keeper's House, after five decades as a private residence, was purchased in 1998 by the Mosholu Preservation Corp., a non-profit organization active in neighborhood improvement in Norwood.
DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS
The Water Suoolv of New York Citv in the Nineteenth The Bronx and Bvram Rivers Water Supply System
Until the mid-nineteenth century, New York City did not have an adequate and reliable source of fresh water. Citizens were forced to subsist on water from the Collect pond, various wells and pumps, and cisterns. But the serious pollution of these water sources, which were sometimes linked with diseases and epidemics, along with general civic filth and periodic fires exacerbated by lack of water, posed major problems. These were especially aggravated by the rapid growth of the population. Manhattan island, moreover, is located amidst saltwater estuaries, presenting substantial obstacles to bringing in potable water.
As early as 1798, several plans were advanced to divert water from the Bronx River to Manhattan, but these were not implemented. After decades of discussion, an independent Water Commission was authorized by the state legislature in 1834 to plan and construct a water system. The city finally obtained a supply of fresh water in 1842 through the gravity-fed Croton Aqueduct, which was begun in 1837 and completed in 1848. An innovative engineering achievement, an outstanding (if expensive) public works project, and one of the first major municipal water systems in the United States, the Croton Aqueduct was planned under chief engineer David B. Douglass, the leading proponent of the Croton River as water source, but built under chief engineer John B. Jervis.
Water emanating from the Croton River and Reservoir in Westchester County, N.Y., traveled 41 miles through an embanked tunnel, across the High Bridge over the Harlem River/ to a receiving reservoir in what later became Central Park and then to a distributing reservoir at Fifth Avenue and West 42nd Street. An additional water supply system became a municipal necessity after the Civil War with the explosion of the city's population, accompanied by the emergence of indoor plumbing and ever-increasing water usage. However, attempts were first made to increase the capacity of the water flow of the existing Croton system, and extensions were constructed. These included a new receiving reservoir in Central Park, alterations to the High Bridge, and the High Bridge Water Tower and reservoir/ A hydrographic survey of the Croton River watershed in 1857-58 resulted in plans for fourteen additional reservoirs outside the city; this plan was mostly carried out between 1866 and 1911. The (Old) Croton Aqueduct remained the city's principal source of water until 1890.
In 1870, the New York City Department of Public Works was established under Commissioner William M. ("Boss") Tweed, and the Croton Aqueduct came within its jurisdiction. After Tweed's conviction on various graft charges in 1873, the department was headed by Allan Campbell, who promoted a plan to utilize the Bronx and Byram Rivers as the next municipal water source. Of immediate concern was the development and water needs of the western portion of the Bronx, formerly part of Westchester County, annexed as the 23"* and 24* Wards of New York City on January 1,1874. Opponents of Campbell's plan, led by reformers in the Union League Club and others, fearing further departmental corruption, advocated a New Croton Aqueduct under the control of an independent commission. Droughts in 1876-77 and 1880-81 added to anxieties about the adequacy of the city's water. Eventually, both systems were constructed, but the more modest and less expensive Bronx and Byram plan was the first one to be implemented, due largely to strained municipal financial circumstances after the Tweed years and the Panic of 1873.
The proposed scheme consisted of dams and reservoirs to be built across the Byram River in Connecticut, and, in Westchester County, across the Bronx River at Kensico, and at Rye Ponds. The plan also included tapping Byram Pond and digging a channel connecting the two rivers. Construction of the Bronx River portion of this gravity-fed system began in October 1880, under the supervision of Ceorge W. Birdsall, chief engineer of the Croton Aqueduct in the Dept. of Public Works. The Bronx River pipeline, consisting of a 48-inch cast-iron pipe, began service in 1884 and carried water fifteen miles from Kensico to the site of the planned reservoir near Willi amsbridge.
The Bronx River portion of this water system was completed in 1889, while the Byram River portion was delayed until 1891 -97 due to complications in acquiring land. Particularlybetween 1884 and 1906, the Bronx and Byram Rivers water system served the critical function of supplying water to the burgeoning western section of the Bronx. (Part of the eastern section of the Bronx was annexed to the city in 1895, and the entire borough became part of New York City in 1898.) It thus helped to bridge the gap in the years between the construction of the Old and New Croton Aqueducts, and facilitated the rapid development of the Bronx, especially the construction of taller buildings, which needed greater water pressure. This could not have occurred without an adequate water supply.
The Williamsbridge Reservoir and Keeper's House " The use of the name Williams' Bridge for this area dates back to before the American Revolution. It is said to have come from John Williams, owner of a farm adjacent to the bridge carrying the Boston Post Road over the Bronx River since the late seventeenth century. A settlennt called Williamsbridge eventually grew up around the bridge and was the location of a station on the New York & Harlem Railroad in 1842. The city acquired land located to the west of the village, on a ridge called Gun Hill, for the Williamsbridge Reservoir in August 1882. This included part of the farm associated with the Valentine-Varian House (1758) and land owned by Amanda Bussing and the Estate of John Bussing.' This location is bounded by Woodlawn Centery (opened in 1865) and Van Cortlandt Park to the north, the Bronx River to the east, the Mosholu Parkway to the west, and Bronx Park to the south. The city acquired the above-nntioned parkland in 1888.
Though the Dept. of Public Works started plans for the reservoir in 1880, a construction contract was not signed until June 1884. The contractor was Sullivan & Moore. In September 1884, the Bronx River pipeline was finished and supplied water to the city, running under Putnam Place and terminating at the site; however, the reservoir was not completed for several more years. The (?Marter/y Rpo/ty of the Dept. of Public Works contain complaints about the slowness of the reservoir contractor's construction work and annua! cessations because of severe winter weather. The oval reservoir was surrounded by an earthen and stone embanknnt, with the bottom covered with concrete. The interior was completed at the end of 1888. As reported by Stephen Jenkins in 77tg Jfory #/vnjt (1912), "water was admitted into the reservoir on December 4,1888, and the distribution of the water to the Annexed District was begun. The reservoir has a capacity of 150,000,000 gallons when it is filled to a depth of forty fect...."' Chief engineer BirdsaH noted then that "it will take next year to complete and sod the outside bank of this reservoir, erect the necessary fences and complete the roads around same.'"* The receiving and distributing reservoir was filled and in full use by the fall of 1889, and was completed at the end of that year. The cost had been nearly $524,000.
Plans for a Reservoir Keeper's House, to be built of stone with a comer tower, were drawn up by architect Douglas Smyth.'* Apparently, this proposal was scrapped in favor of a less elaborate building. Plans for a two-and-a-half-story stone house, to be located at the northeast end of the reservoir, were approved by Birdsall in February 1889, and a contract was signed in March with building contractor Terence A.Smith. Construction began in September 1889, the exterior stonework was finished by March 1890, and the house was completed in June. The total cost was $8749. shaped in plan, the house is built of rock-faced, variegated gray-tan gneiss ashlar with smooth, speckled-gray granite trim, and embellished by keyed enframennts. The house originally had three wooden porches. Straightforward and massive, the stone house follows the tradition of building stone structures for both Croton Aqueducts. The Williamsbridge Reservoir Keeper's House is the only surviving building in New York City associated with the Bronx and Byram Rivers water supply system.
The first reservoir keeper, whose job it was to maintain and guard the reservoir, was Irish immigrant Matthew Mallahan (1834-1913), in this position from 1890 to about 1911. Mallahan came to the United States in 1875, was a Bronx hotel keeper and liquor dealer in the 1880s, and lived here with several relatives. The house also contained a first-story office for the keeper.
Later History
The Bronx and Byram Rivers water system played a brief but significant role in supplying water to New York City. Shortly after its completion, this system was surpassed by the more extensive New Croton Aqueduct. Constructed between 1885 and 1907 under chief engineers Benjamin S. Church and Alphonse Fteley for the New York City Aqueduct Commission, the New Croton Aqueduct was put into service in 1890. The Jerome Park Reservoir (1895-1906), the New Croton's receiving and distributing reservoir located to the west of the Williamsbridge Reservoir, held a much larger volume of water than the earlier one. Eventually, the capacity of New York's water supply was greatly expanded with the Catskill (1907-29) and Delaware River (1937-50s) water systems. The Old Croton Aqueduct ended service to New York City in 1955.
During the early twentieth century, the Williamsbridge Reservoir continued to supply a percentage of the borough's water. The Bronx and Byram Rivers watersheds were merged into the Catskill system in the 1910s. The reservoir was reduced to serve as an emergency backup system after 1919. The water supply was cut off and the reservoir was drained in 1925. After the land was transferred to the Dept. of Parks, the reservoir was converted into Williamsbridge Oval Playground, which opened in 1937 under parks commissioner Robert Moses.
The park served the neighborhood, known since the construction of the reservoir as Norwood, that had been developed largely with apartment buildings after 1905. Montefiore Hospital locatedherein 1913. The Reservoir Keeper's House was abandoned by the city, but plans were made in the 1930s to convert it to a branch library. However, Dr. Isaac H. Barkey, a physicist and engineer, and his wife Dorothy, interested inpurchasing the house, convinced the city to build a new library nearby and acquired the property in 1946. After five decades in residence, the Barkeys sold the house in 1998 to the Mosholu Preservation Corp. A non-profit organization established in 1981 by Montefiore Medical Center to address the problem of housing abandonment and deterioration in the ethnically diverse Norwood neighborhood, the Mosholu Preservation Corp. has been active in neighborhood improvement and publishes the Norwood Mewy community newspaper. Plans are under way to renovate the Keeper's House for use as its offices, for a local meeting facility, and a youth summer employment center. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in September 1999.
Description
The Williamsbridge Reservoir Keeper's House is a two-and-a-half-story, L-shaped building constructed of rock-faced, variegated gray-tan gneiss ashlar, with smooth, speckled-gray granite trim, including the watertable, a band course terminating the second story, and keyed enframements. The rubble stone foundation is currently exposed. The roof has gables at the northern end of the front (west) elevation and at the south elevation. Fenestration is rectangular, except for a small round-arched window in each gable. Windows were originally two-over-two double-hung wood sash; these were replaced (c. 1950s) by multipane metal casements.
Front (west) elevation: This elevation has four bays, two tm each wing. The main entrance originally had a wood paneled door; this was replaced (c.1950s) with an historic decorative metal door from a Manhattan town house. The southernmost bay on the first story originally had a double French window (which was salvaged and is currently in storage); the opening is currently covered. There was originally a wood porch with latticework, posts, and steps; a steel mesh deck was installed (c. 1950s).
Rear (east) elevation: This elevation has four bays on the first story and three bays on the second story. The central entrance originally had a wood paneled door (converted into a window c. 1950s) and a wood porch with latticework, posts, and side steps. Stone steps, flanked by a stone areaway wall, lead to a basement entrance with a solid metal door (c. 1950s). North elevation: This elevation has two bays. The entrance in the eastern bay of the first story originally had a wood paneled door (the lower portion survives in part) and a wood porch with latticework, posts, and steps.
South elevation: This elevation has two bays on the southern end of the building, as well as one bay on the second story of the wing projecting from the northern end.
Roof: The roof, a replacement (c. 1950s) of the original slate roof, is covered in variegated slate shingles, with red tile ridgecap (with end finials), snow guards, and copper gutters. Originally there were two corbeled brick chimneys; the one near the southern end survives, while another at the juncture of the two wings was removed.
Lot: There is an original stone retaining wall along the eastern property line, with portions of a deteriorated pipe railing. A chain-link fence currently surrounds the property.

EDIT: Thanks to Kafar for the solution.
So I was in the middle of drawing the CP for my (current) Sidneyia model when I realized I'm not sure how to do the elevation change in the tail. This is what I have so far.
All the creases on the border should remain where they are; it's only in the middle that I'm having trouble. The waterbomb molecule toward the upper right prevents me from using the standard diamond-shaped level shifter.
Any help will be appreciated.
Couldn’t help it, had to create a zombie,… I wanted to make the roller skate type girl, turned zombie because I thought it would be fun and tragic at the same time.
I don’t usually create environments, but I thought it would be more fun in this case to help tell the story.
The character was modeled and posed in ZBrush, the environment was modeled in 3ds Max, hair was done using default Hair & Fur. Everything rendered with Mental Ray, only a little color correction done with Photoshop.

These three MRL units are actually manned helpers pushing hard on this coal train, which is climbing Bozeman Pass. The coal train is running in a 3x(0)x4 configuration. Once at the top of the pass, the three MRL units will cut off the train and return to Livingston Yard.

I wanted to paint a Christmassy still life, but I didn't plan the composition very well! I'm pretty happy with the teddy bear, but I added the teacup quite late on and now it looks as though it's sprouting from the bear's foot. The kettle's spout isn't placed very well either...
If anyone has any suggestions on what I could do to fix or improve this painting I would be very grateful to hear them!
Greater Manchester Police has today (14 July) joined up with Manchester City Council to support charity Syria Relief with the launch of a humanitarian aid volunteering facility in Openshaw, Manchester.
The facility, provided by Manchester City Council at New Smithfield Market will give the general public an opportunity to physically and positively support the planning and hard work that goes into collecting and preparing aid for Syria. Communities are encouraged to take donations of clothes, blankets and food to the facility and get involved with packing them onto containers ready to be sent to those in need Syria.
There are many people in Greater Manchester who wish to help the Syrian refugees who have suffered terribly during the Syrian civil war, and would like to do more than simply donate money to charity. The volunteering facility offers an alternative to people who feel compelled to travel out to Syria and risk their lives to help the humanitarian aid effort.
Greater Manchester residents are being urged to stay in the UK to help at centres such as this one, or donate to well-known charities that have the expertise and access to deliver the humanitarian aid to the right areas in Syria.
GMP Chief Constable Sir Peter Fahy, who is the national Prevent lead for ACPO TAM said:
“We know there are many people in Greater Manchester and nationally who want to support the millions of people who are caught up in the Syrian conflict. Anyone who does travel there is putting themselves in considerable danger and that is why this volunteering facility is so valuable right here in Greater Manchester, giving people the opportunity to donate and assist with the humanitarian effort without putting themselves and others in danger.
“It’s very positive to see communities and organisations working together and this partnership highlights the support that can be given locally to a national cause. “
Sir Peter was joined at the launch by Deputy Leader of Manchester City Council, Councillor Bernard Priest and the Deputy Police and Crime Commissioner Jim Battle.
Deputy PCC Jim Battle said:
“The humanitarian crisis in Syria is something people in Greater Manchester care deeply about. This volunteering facility gives the opportunity to assist some of the most vulnerable people without the need to travel to the conflict zone.
“Community spirit has yet again come to the fore, and it’s a real credit to Greater Manchester people that they are so willing to give their own time and donations to help people far worse off than themselves. Greater Manchester Police, Manchester City Council and people from all across Greater Manchester have shown the whole world that they care.”
Cllr Priest said:
"I know that many Mancunians and people from across the North West have been strongly moved by the plight of those suffering because of the Syrian conflict, and want to do more than just donate money to charity.
"This facility is an excellent opportunity for our communities to provide experienced organisations with items that will make a difference to those in need - such as clothes, blankets and food. I urge Manchester residents to visit this centre rather than risk tragedy by attempting to travel to Syria themselves."
Chairman of Syria Relief, Dr Basil Hatahet added: "While the news currently focuses on the brutality of the war and the emergence of fundamentalist groups in Syria, the ever-worsening humanitarian situation and human suffering continue.
“This joint initiative between Syria Relief, Manchester City Council and Great Manchester Police invites the citizens of Manchester to help alleviate the suffering by giving their time and efforts, as well as their financial and in-kind donation in a safe and practical way."

Stroops’ Accelerator was designed to help fighters gain the power they need to accelerate swiftly and effortlessly in the round. The Accelerator also helps fighters overcome several common weaknesses in the round: loss of momentum, unfinished moves, and getting stuck under the opponent.Similar to the Takedown, which recruits the muscle groups used for bursts of speed during close combat, the Accelerator focuses on the specific muscle groups needed for speed and stamina across a broader radius—up to 30 feet. More importantly, the resistance from behind simulates the resistance imposed on the fighter from the opponent, which closely mimics the dynamics of actual combat. Fighters gain the same training benefits of pushing against an opponent’s force without the wear and tear. After training with the Accelerator, fighters gain the strength, stamina, and momentum they need to keep moving, finish moves, and quickly recover from takedowns. stroo.ps/accelerator
