LONDON: Former Interior minister Senator Rehman Malik has said that the petroleum crisis was created by a certain mafia to sell Iranian oil.
Talking to media in London the Senator declared the petrol crisis as a conspiracy against the government and that a judicial commission should be formed to probe the matter.
He said that Saudi Arab and other friendly countries had requested to declare legal the steps taken by Pervaiz Musharaf, and the former COAS should have been allowed to attend the Saudi King’s funeral.
He further said that the current government should complete their term and the People’s Party were wrongly accused of being a friendly opposition.
He also said that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf should return to the National Assembly.

What is a Zine?
Zines are an under-appreciated but powerful tool in self-expression via design. They come in all shapes and sizes, binds and creases, and formats and structures. A Zine can be designed and produced however the artist desires to express their ideas and feelings. Due to this, it can sometimes be challenging to give Zines an exact definition and category, which is also the beauty of Zines and the creative freedom which comes with them. In short, Zines can be specified as a type of magazine, separated by the defining factors of self-publishing methods and small quantities produced. Typically Zines are also produced without the need to be profitable.
They typically contain but are not restrained to, topics such as art, music and politics - usually looking into more controversial areas. Zines, however, can be produced about more or less anything and in any kind of structure and are an extremely free form of expression.
Zines first originated in the 1930s with Science Fiction fandoms.
“Long before the advent of the Internet, zines allowed fans to create networks, share ideas and analyses, and collaborate on writing and artwork” (Leuven, L 2017).
In the 1950s and 60s however, the popularity of Zines in society skyrocketed alongside the rise of the underground press. This explosive rise in popularity wasn’t just exclusive to politics, however, and in the 1980s zines became largely popular within Punk culture and various other subcultures. These gradual but each impactful developments allowed Zines to become the influential art form they are today.
Zines are a fun design form due to the wide variety of content. The design freedom allows artists to adapt each design element to present their ideas and emotions. Artists can use traditional forms of binding to represent a specific culture, or more abstract approaches to bookbinding to represent a rebellious sense. Some designers even avoid binding entirely, instead using various folding styles to structure their art. The shape of the Zine itself could also be used to present a message. These forms of expression and many more in combination are rather unique to Zines, as other formats such as magazines or books tend to limit how far design can be pushed by definition.
Why should you care?
In society today, Zines continue to grow in popularity and be a strong form of representation for the underground and underrepresented.
“Zines provide a safe, independent platform of expression for underrepresented and marginalised voices: Black, Indigenous & People of Colour, young people, people with disabilities, the LGBTQ(+) community, persecuted religious groups, and people with limited economic resources”. (binderymke.com 2020).
The importance of a tool like this in society is essential as it allows commonly unheard voices to become heard by many.
Anybody can make a Zine, whether you're an established designer, or haven't drawn since school. There is no good or bad when it comes to Zines, the goal is to just express yourself with design however you wish and let your voice be heard. This is what makes Zines such a significant tool in our society; Everyone should be encouraged to get involved.
Some values which come with zines are rather in line with some of our paired values here at KI. Firstly the idea of Learning and growing is very important at KI. This aligns with zines as they act as a platform for people to express their feelings and opinions, as a way to learn and grow as well as allowing others to learn and grow from them. Zines being such a free chance at self-expression also allows for the opportunity for artists to be brave and bold with their work, which is another key value here at KI.

Crested gecko mouth rot is also known as Ulcerative Stomatitis or Infectious Stomatitis in reptiles. If detected in time, it is preventable and treatable. However, if your gecko does not receive prompt treatment, this sickness can spread to the lungs, digestive tract, and could be fatal in some situations.
By examining crested geckos mouth rot symptoms such as excessive salivation and cuts in the mouth, you can discover this infection early and speed up the healing. The good news is that if caught early, this ailment can be treated and monitored easily.
If your crested gecko has mouth rot and you are concerned about its health, you should prepare to take action. This article will describe the symptoms and causes of mouth rot in crested geckos, which will help you understand this infectious disease.
Signs and symptoms of mouth rot in crested geckos:
The indicators of mouth rot in crested geckos are as follows. It is critical that if you notice any of the symptoms of mouth rot, you act fast to assist your gecko recover.
• Appetite loss
• Inadequate water intake
• Cuts around the mouth
• Food trapped between teeth
• Pus or dead tissue in the area surrounding the mouth
• Excessive salivation
• Inflamed oral tissues or gums
• Swelling of the face and head ( in advanced cases)
• Inability to close mouth
• Inflamed oral tissues and gums
• Increased mucus production in the oral cavity
• Reduced or non-existent tongue flicking
• Oral tissues that are red
• Pneumonia could develop (in advanced cases)
Mouth rot in crested geckos is caused by the following factors:
Mouth rot in crested geckos can occur for a variety of reasons. Mouth rot can be caused by a lack of humidity, a weakened immune system, and bacteria in the mouth. Other plausible explanations include:
Leading cause of mouth rot in crested geckos. If your gecko is stressed, its immune system will not operate properly, putting it in danger of contracting various bacteria, viruses, or fungi.
If the temperature inside the crested gecko terrarium is not optimal, your gecko’s health may decline and develop mouth rot.
If your crested gecko exhibits odd faeces and vomiting, this indicates that he has parasites in his gut. These parasites cause a variety of infectious disorders, including mouth rot.
If your crested gecko gets aggressive and continuously rubs his head or snout on the tank walls, bacteria, and viruses such as Pseudomonas, Salmonella, Aeromonas, and Klebsiella can enter the body and cause infection.
Poor nutrition such as a lack of vitamin C and inadequate calcium/phosphorus levels can cause mouth rot.
Chewing on a poor substrate, such as coconut fibre, can potentially induce infection and mouth rot.
If your gecko is unhappy with its environment, it may experience stress and impair its immune system, leading to infections such as mouth rot.
How to diagnose crested gecko mouth rot?
It is critical to accurately diagnose problems in your reptiles, such as mouth rot. If it is not recognized in a timely manner, it may go untreated, and injured oral tissue may extend to deeper tissues, including the bones.
If your gecko has mouth rot, you should take them to the vet to be diagnosed. Your vet may examine the history of your gecko’s living conditions, such as temperature, diet, and so on, and may perform a physical exam to determine the reason of mouth rot.
In severe situations, additional testing may be performed:
• An X-ray of the head and body to see whether any other organs or bones are compromised.
• Blood and plasma tests can be performed to rule out any irregularities.
• Bacterial culture and sensitivity tests can be used to determine whether bacteria are present.
• A biopsy can be performed to determine whether or not tumors have formed around the mouth. In that instance, the veterinarian may need to perform a biopsy of the afflicted tissue.
• A fungal isolation test can be performed to determine whether or not fungus is present in the tissue.
• If any of the cells are inflamed, cytology can be performed.
Crested gecko mouth rot treatment:
If mouth rot is detected early, the first step is to take your pet to the veterinarian. The vet will examine your crested gecko thoroughly to determine the cause of the mouth rot.
• The veterinarian will treat them with antibiotics or antifungal medications, as well as clean their mouth.
• If the mouth rot is severe, surgery or oral antiseptic may be required to remove any damaged tissues. To treat infectious mouth illness, proper medication should be administered.
• If the

Novartis' Zolgensma Under Fire Again as Nature Retracts 2010 Paper
Two years after the FDA closed its Zolgensma data manipulation investigation, Nature Biotechnology retracted its 2010 article titled, "Rescue of the spinal muscular atrophy phenotype in a mouse model by early postnatal delivery of SMN," noting "issues" regarding data cited in a key figure in the report. Original source data provided earlier this year showed multiple inaccuracies in mouse models that were used to indicate the therapeutic promise.
The error was in a Kaplan–Meier curve that represented the survival of mice with spinal muscular atrophy that received either Zolgensma or a control scAAV9-GFP vector.
The article's initial data showed that six mice survived for more than 250 days. However, earlier this year, the original data showed that only one of the treated mice lived.
In its retraction statement, Nature Biotechnology said its editorial team is "of the opinion that the extent of the inaccuracies in Fig. 1e and associated text undermines full confidence in the study."
The now-retracted paper was a foundational study that led to the SMA gene therapy treatment being greenlit for in-human studies. Those clinical studies, including the pivotal Phase III STRIVE trial, showed that Zolgensma treated SMA patients with unprecedented survival rates.
The children dosed with the gene therapy saw improvements in motor function and durable milestone achievement, including an ability to sit up without support.
Nature Biotechnology noted that most researchers listed as authors of the article disagree with the decision to retract. One researcher never responded to the publication's repeated attempts to reach her.
A Treatment Shrouded in Controversy
The revelation of early data manipulation concerns regarding Zolgensma's early animal studies was first realized in 2019, one year after Novartis acquired Illinois-based AveXis, the creator of the gene therapy, for $8.7 billion.
Novartis and AveXis notified the FDA about the preclinical data manipulation concerns one month after the gene therapy was approved. When the FDA first revealed the data manipulation, the agency said it was "limited to only a small portion of the product testing data that was contained in the marketing application."
When the FDA closed its investigation into Zolgensma, the regulatory agency acknowledged that some early data manipulation had occurred during the preclinical testing of the therapy. However, following human clinical studies, the FDA maintained that the spinal muscular atrophy gene therapyZolgensma is safe and effective as a gene therapy treatment for spinal muscular atrophy. At the time, the FDA stated that the revelation of data manipulation did not change its positive assessment of the information from the human clinical trials.
In its support of the gene therapy, Novartis acknowledged that the assays in question were used for initial product testing but are not currently used for commercial product release.
In the wake of the data manipulation, Novartis terminated Brian and Allan Kaspar, AveXis' chief scientific officer and head of research and development, respectively. The Kaspars are both founders of AveXis. The Swiss pharma giant placed the blame squarely on their shoulders.
In its response to the FDA, Novartis said the two brothers "personally manipulated or instructed others to alter some of the preclinical data" that led to the approval of the gene therapy. The company acknowledged the manipulation concerned the recorded deaths of the mice used in preclinical studies, which played a key role in the now-retracted article.

Los Angeles area air regulators should be forcing polluters to cut their dangerous emissions. Instead, they want to shift the responsibility for cleaning up our air from those profiting from the pollution to those of us simply trying not to die from breathing it. Whether they get away with it will depend on a critical vote this coming week.
The greater Los Angeles region has the dirtiest air in the nation. “Every year more people will die in Southern California from air pollution-related diseases than from all traffic accidents and crime-related deaths combined,” according to the South Coast Air Quality Management District, our region’s air pollution regulator.
But that same agency is falling down on the job. In July 2016, it released a deeply flawed draft of an Air Quality Management Plan, a critical document that sets out how the agency will reduce pollution to finally bring our air quality in line with federal and state standards.
The plan immediately became embroiled in controversy because of its highly unusual choice to focus on “incentives” rather than regulation to address air pollution. Instead of requiring reductions in emissions from oil refineries... Read more

With a historic vote in the New Jersey Assembly, the Legislature today passed a bill to restrict solitary confinement in New Jersey’s prisons and jails. The bill aims to end the routine use of the tactic and bar its use on New Jersey’s most vulnerable prison populations. The bill, sponsored by Assemblywoman Nancy Pinkin in the Assembly and Senator Ray Lesniak in the Senate, now goes to Governor Christie’s desk. The ACLU-NJ, clergy members, and human rights organizations such as the National Religious Campaign Against Torture urge the Governor to sign the bill into law.
“This is a watershed moment for civil rights and human rights in New Jersey,” said ACLU-NJ Senior Staff Attorney Alexander Shalom. “We thank Assemblywoman Pinkin and Senator Lesniak for their leadership and strong sense of conscience in advocating for more humane treatment of prisoners. We urge Governor Christie act on his compassion by quickly signing this bill. New Jersey can show the rest of the country what more humane solitary confinement looks like.”
The bill, S51:
“We thank the Legislature for its national leadership on criminal justice reform by curbing our state’s addiction to solitary confinement,” said ACLU-NJ Public Policy Director Ari Rosmarin. “We now call on Governor Christie to honor his commitment to fix our broken criminal justice system. The overwhelming harms of solitary confinement make the practice little more than cruelty for cruelty’s sake.”
Administrative segregation units, a form of solitary confinement, are more expensive to maintain than normal incarceration conditions. By shifting away from these units, the ACLU-NJ calculated that the state could ultimately save more than $5 million per year by cutting solitary confinement by 50 percent, based on conservative estimates. More importantly, the ACLU-NJ and human rights organizations say, solitary confinement is considered a form of torture. Solitary confinement can exacerbate mental illnesses, and it can bring on mental illness where it didn’t exist before.
In New Jersey, the ACLU-NJ has brought several legal cases challenging the abuse and misuse of solitary confinement. One man, P.D., was held in solitary for months at a time in the Middlesex County Jail despite the harms solitary confinement poses on individuals with mental illnesses, such as P.D. The ACLU-NJ represents a group of prisoners held in solitary confinement in Middlesex County Jail who cannot receive visits from family members while in solitary confinement. This summer, the ACLU-NJ won a victory on behalf of a man who was given more than three years of solitary confinement for throwing a bucket of water mixed with feces.
New Jersey is part of a national trend in restricting the use of solitary confinement. Earlier this year, the federal government enacted similar restrictions on solitary confinement in federal prisons and jails. Many states have severely limited the use of solitary confinement, resulting in greater public safety and savings in state budgets.
Some examples of infractions that have resulted in solitary confinement in New Jersey include:
The Department of Corrections has claimed that solitary confinement does not take place in New Jersey facilities. Rather, it uses the label “restrictive housing units,” a difference in terminology that amounts to the same practice. For that reason, the Department of Corrections has stated it cannot participate in estimating the fiscal impact of solitary confinement reform.
The New Jersey Senate today passed S2469, a bill requiring independent investigations when someone dies at the hands of law enforcement. A broad coalition of civil rights, clergy, and labor groups — including the NAACP New Jersey State Conference, Clergy Coalition for Justice, National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives, and the ACLU-NJ — advocated for this bill as an important first step to guaranteeing accountability when police officers wrongfully use their power.
The ACLU-NJ included independent investigations for police violence as a top priority in its five-point blueprint for police reform released this summer.
The ACLU-NJ issues the following statement, which can be attributed to ACLU-NJ Policy Counsel Dianna Houenou:
“Giving people confidence that investigations into police violence will be independent is a key part of building trust between law enforcement agencies and the communities they serve. We give police officers extraordinary power, including the power to take a life. The public deserves to hold law enforcement accountable when officers abuse those powers wrongfully.
“We strongly commend Senate President Steve Sweeney, Senator Ronald L. Rice and Senate Majority Leader Loretta Weinberg for their leadership on this fundamental civil rights issue, and we thank the senators who voted for it. We urge members of the Assembly to pass this critically important legislation quickly.
“This bill establishes that, as a baseline standard, investigations will not be tainted by a conflict of interest or the perception of one. The public deserves the security of knowing that an investigation into the most serious action officers could take is conducted as impartially as possible.

I am absolutely thrilled to be welcoming Sandra Danby back to my blog. Her new book, ‘Connectedness’, the second in the Identity Detective series was published in paperback in April by Beulah Press and is also available as an eBook.
Sandra has written a guest post about how PD James influenced her work.
The influence of PD James
I’ve been a fan of PD James’ detective Adam Dalgliesh since I was a student and having gone back to the beginning to read Cover Her Face, I then bought each book as it was published. I don’t write crime fiction and never expected the Dalgliesh series to have such an influence on my own work but once I decided my identity detective Rose Haldane deserved her own series, I looked again at the structure used by PD James.
The key thing I learned was that each Dalgliesh novel tells the story of a murder and the people involved. Adam Dalgliesh gets involved once the murder is discovered but it is not his story, he is the conduit through which the story is told. This was an epiphany for me. Once I applied it to my own ideas for the ‘Identity Detective’ series, I could see it would work. Ignoring Gravity, the first, tells the story of journalist Rose Haldane, an adult who discovers she was adopted as a baby and was lied to all her life by her family, and her subsequent search for her true origins. Connectedness, my latest novel, is about Justine Tree, a birth mother now in her fifties who longs to find the baby daughter she gave away in the Eighties. Justine employs Rose as a kind of researcher to find her daughter. In the course of this book, Rose realizes she is good at this type of work, that she can become a detective of identities. I’m now writing Sweet Joy, third in the series, in which Rose is employed by an elderly lady to identify her parents who abandoned her in a house during The Blitz in London 1940.
Flash backwards to my writing group friends and the first time they read the complete manuscript of Connectedness. They were familiar with the story and characters, having read most of the chapters in isolation. But why, they asked, don’t you start with Rose? Because, I said, Connectedness is not about Rose; it’s about Justine. Worried I’d misjudged, I went back to a chapter-by-chapter analysis I did almost ten years ago of Original Sin, ninth in the Adam Dalgliesh series. He appears briefly in Chapter 4 when the body has been found – twenty five pages in – but his next viewpoint chapter is almost a third of the way through the book. Instead James patiently allows the story to unfold, told by the characters involved in the murder so the reader makes assumptions about what has happened and comes to know the characters involved. When Dalgliesh arrives on the scene however, he starts asking awkward questions so making the reader doubt his first impressions of people and events. And in this way, the mystery grows. I hope I’ve achieved a similar effect with Connectedness.
TO THE OUTSIDE WORLD, ARTIST JUSTINE TREE HAS IT ALL… BUT SHE ALSO HAS A SECRET THAT THREATENS TO DESTROY EVERYTHING
Justine’s art sells around the world, but does anyone truly know her? When her mother dies, she returns to her childhood home in Yorkshire where she decides to confront her past. She asks journalist Rose Haldane to find the baby she gave away when she was an art student, but only when Rose starts to ask difficult questions does Justine truly understand what she must face.
Is Justine strong enough to admit the secrets and lies of her past? To speak aloud the deeds she has hidden for 27 years, the real inspiration for her work that sells for millions of pounds. Could the truth trash her artistic reputation? Does Justine care more about her daughter, or her art? And what will she do if her daughter hates her?
This tale of art, adoption, romance and loss moves between now and the Eighties, from London’s art world to the bleak isolated cliffs of East Yorkshire and the hot orange blossom streets of Málaga, Spain.
A family mystery for fans of Maggie O’Farrell, Lucinda Riley, Tracy Rees and Rachel Hore.
About the ‘Identity Detective’ series
Rose Haldane reunites the people lost through adoption. The stories you don’t see on television shows. The difficult cases. The people who cannot be found, who are thought lost forever. Each book in the ‘Identity Detective’ series considers the viewpoint of one person trapped in this horrible dilemma. In the first book of the series, Ignoring Gravity, it is Rose’s experience we follow as an adult discovering she was adopted as a

The power steering reservoir is on the pasenger side, between the firewall and the engine, closer to the bottom end of the engine. If you put your head in the corner and look strait down youll see the cap. Then you have to jam your hand in there cause its a tight fit. Youll need a long flexible funnel or hose to add fluid and if you overfill it seems to leak for a couple days and then stops.
With the engine off, remove the power steering reservoir cap, and read the fluid level.
Check the level of the power steering fluid. A low level or no level of fluid will cause the groaning noise.
check the power steering fluid level. I would have to say your low on fluid.
check power steering fluid level
check the power steering fluid level and the power steering belt
Look at the level in the power steering reservoir...
Denise, the fluid goes in the power steering pump resovior at the same place you check the level. Make sure to check the level when the fluid is hot.
Lift the hoods, find the lid to the power steering reservoir and remove the lid. Attached to the lid is the dipstick to the power steering fluid, read the level and decide if more needs to be added.
Remove the cap and check the level when the fluid is hot.
Yes it does. Check your power steering fluid level.
check power steering fluid level. Also check belt.
The level check for power steering fluid is on the reserve for the pump.

The utility sector ETFs gained ground after a dim performance over the second quarter and into the third. News that the Federal Reserve plans to continue its bond buying program helped bolster the U.S. stock market and various sectors.
“The hunt for steady income led investors to invest in high dividend paying companies, including many utility companies. Also, as the U.S. economic growth continued to be uninspiring, sectors like utility played their defensive role and acted as a safe haven for investors,” Zacks equity research wrote in a recent article. [Utility ETFs for Higher Dividend Yields]
The Utilities Select Sector SPDR (XLU) gained 2.9% after the Federal Reserve’s recent announcement to continue with the bond buying program. The ETF also offers an attractive yield of 4.05%. This gain is a turnaround after the sector was one of the worst performers in September. [Interest Rates Hit Utilities Sector ETFs in Q2]
In fact, according to S&P Capital, the utilities sector lagged others in the S&P 500, as 8 out of 10 sectors posted new highs. From April to August the sector was unable to match the upward momentum it has exhibited in 2012 and for the first few months in 2013.
Utility demand is expected to pick up from household usage, manufacturing needs and from the business sector should the U.S. economy remain on track. The healthy dividend yield is another allure of this sector, since the interest rates are expected to stay grounded for the remainder of the year. [Dividend ETFs for the Long Term]

I am a fan because it helps in the hydrating process-this is not a one shot deal but it becomes a part of the hydration process andwhatever helps is more than welcome. So I continue to add to my skin care regime.
Did you find this review helpful?
I was looking forward to trying this spray as I've been looking for a something good to set my mineral makeup. At first it was pretty good, nice fine mist, light feeling on the skin and did help my make up stay longer. On the negative I didn't really care about the smell and the mist made me cough if accidentally inhaled so you basically have to hold your breath when misting. But I can live with that.The real disappointment was that just after few uses the nozzle became hopelessly clogged. So no more fine mist, it would just squirt all over the place. I tried everything to unclog it even washed it after each use but it would just get clogged again. So now I'm left with a mostly full container that I can't use. For that price very disappointing. Jane Iredale H2O or UD's All-Nighter are much better products.

A new study by Science Advances shows that climate change will lead to massive flooding in California (USA) in the next four decades. Experts say that no one living in these places today has faced such a scale of disaster.
UCLA climate scientist Daniel Swain describes the event as “very severe flooding in the region that could lead to catastrophic consequences.” He said the mega-flooding will be similar to the 1,000-year-old flash floods seen this summer in the St. Louis and Kentucky area. But this time there will be even greater coverage of the territory, for example, all of California will suffer.
Such large-scale flooding, which experts say will turn the lowlands of California into a “vast inland sea”, may have previously occurred in the state once. But experts say climate change is increasing the likelihood of these catastrophic disasters.
Climate change is intensifying heavy rainfall, leading to more regular flash flooding, as has happened several times this summer in Eastern Kentucky, St. Louis, and even California’s ” Death Valley.”
California is naturally prone to flooding from atmospheric rivers. Major floods have happened here before, but climate change is exacerbating them, which could affect millions of people.
The study says that atmospheric rivers can exist for weeks.
A flood capable of inundating this valley could be the most costly geophysical disaster to date, causing more than $1 trillion in damage and devastating low-lying areas of the state.
This has happened before. It will happen again, but it will be worse, scientists warn.
More than 150 years ago, a powerful series of atmospheric rivers flooded the Golden State, causing one of the most exceptional floods in history after a drought that left the West scorched for decades. Settlements were destroyed in a matter of minutes.
According to the study, the winter of 1861-1862 and flooding turned the San Joaquin and Sacramento valleys into “a temporary but vast inland sea.” In some areas, the water reached 10 meters, which led to the destruction of infrastructure, agricultural land and cities.

Ferris calls for rejection of Fish Quota cuts
The Sinn Féin Spokesperson on Fisheries Martin Ferris TD has reiterated his call for Fisheries Minister Tony Killeen to resolutely oppose all proposals to cut the quota allocated to Irish fishermen in 2009. The Kerry North TD was speaking as Fisheries Ministers met in Brussels to consider proposals to severely cut the quota next year and to close the north west white fishery.
Deputy Ferris said: "The Minister must ensure that the proposed cuts are rejected and that the Hague Preferences are given a statutory basis so that even the current unfair share given to this country is not subject to annual attack. The measures being proposed if accepted would sound the death knell for another substantial section of the Irish fishery sector. A further indication, if needed, that the real object of EU policy is to close down the Irish fishery." ENDS

Retro Game Challenge Review
Retro Game Challenge is a clever, interesting, and enjoyable tribute to NES gaming in the 1980s. The premise of the game is that a mysterious Japanese gaming guru has sent you back in time to the mid 1980s. In order for you to earn the right to return to your own time you must complete a series of gaming challenges, all of which involve 1980s style console games. I use the term "1980s style" because all of the games in Retro Game Challenge are completely original and were created just for Retro Game Challenge. Despite their newness, though, each of the games could easily have appeared on the NES. The developers have done a great job of capturing every aspect of these games including the graphics, sounds, music, and secret Easter eggs. If you didn't know any better, you'd think that each of the games was first released on the NES in the 1980s.
The main mode of play follows the same basic pattern. You receive your next game challenge and then play the designated game until you meet that challenge. Retro Game Challenge adds more to the play than simply playing the same game over and again until you complete a challenge, though. The game puts you in a friend's living room with a TV and game console which serves as the main game hub. From here you can pop a cartridge into the console to go for your next challenge, read the manual for a game to pick up some gameplay tricks, or read a gaming magazine to learn some extra tips and even some cheat codes. The game magazines are a clever touch, and contain more than cheat codes. You can also read previews of upcoming games to get a glimpse at the next game you'll unlock once you complete the challenges for the current game. And if you were into gaming twenty years ago, you'll appreciate all of the inside jokes and references to 1980s gaming culture.
The games themselves form a nice collection that touches upon a number of genres and provides a good cross-section of a 1980s game library. There are eight games in all, including racers, platformers, a Galaga clone, and even a full-fledged RPG that will invoke memories of the first Final Fantasy game. Completing four challenges for a game will unlock the next game, and make the current game available for free play. The quality of the games is high enough that you will actually want to play them once you've completed the challenges and each game could easily have been a hit on the NES. In a nice extra touch, the game will track your stats in each game played in free play such as number of enemies killed.
There's no shortage or retro gaming collections out there, but just about all of them just group a bunch of games together and call it a day. Retro Game Challenge is the first to actually capture the spirit of a bygone era of gaming and is highly recommended to anyone with even the smallest nostalgic streak who can remember blowing on a game cartridge.
In The End, This Game Hath Been Rated: 88%. Retro Game Challenge is a great way to relive your NES days, or to see what the NES days were like.

10th ESU Congress
‘Seniors standing up for Europe’
‘Seniors standing up for Europe’ this theme brought together over 160 men and women from 20 countries at the base of the Pirin Mountains in Sandanski on 27 and 28 September. In her opening speech, An Hermans, ESU president, thanked all those who had contributed to the many preparations for the congress: the party GERB, in particular ESU vice-president Nikolai Andreev, the Pirin Park hotel, and above all the attendees who quickly forgot the long trip to Sandanski through the beautiful and hospitable surroundings.
“Europe is at a crossroads. We need renewed objectives and a renewed policy approach to meet today’s many challenges. We seniors, who have been working towards European unification for 70 years, want to continue to put peace, democracy, prosperity and respect for the dignity of every person at the forefront of the fundamental values of our society. European unity, from east to west, from north to south, requires our full commitment in the future.”
–An Hermans during her opening speech
Election of the ESU Presidium
During the congress the attending delegates gave An Hermans as president and the twelve candidate vice-presidents their vote of confidence to lead the ESU-family as ‘Presidium’ for three years. With the subsequent election of four auditors and the appointment of Guido Dumon as general secretary and Etienne Vanderroost as treasurer, a new team has been assembled for the next three years to give a voice in the EPP and in European society to the expectations and needs of European citizens, especially the senior citizens.
Through the Sandanski Declaration: Seniors standing up for Europe-Engaging with citizens and developing a more united and democratic Unio, the congress underlines the role of citizens as active partners in policymaking and also pays tribute to the dynamic power of citizens in the history of Europe and especially 30 years ago in the fight for freedom and democracy and the fall of the Iron Curtain. (This statement is also available in German and French)
‘Demographic change: one of the key challenges confronting Europe’
ESU’s statement on the position of the new European Commission on demographic change
In a statement, the congress also expressed its confidence in the new European Commission and welcomes the fact that Dr. Ursula von der Leyen has indicated her willingness to respond to today’s challenges, including all ages. We are hopeful when reading the Mission Letter for the new Croatian commissioner Dubravka Šuica (EPP), who was appointed Vice President of the EU Commission for Democracy and Demography. (This declaration is available in German and French)
Several speakers analysed the importance of the recent European Elections. For the ESU, too, the European elections were visible throughout the functioning of our organisation. Both Jozeph Daul in his video message and Dara Murphy in his esteemed speech underlined the importance of associations in the relationship between policy makers and citizens. We hope, and will work to ensure, that the role of the ESU in the EPP family is confirmed and supported. Many policy areas and questions remain unanswered. Some perspectives have already been opened up by Mr. Rosen Jeliazkov Minister of Transport of the Republic of Bulgaria, Mr. Andrey Kovatchev, Member of the European Parliament EPP/GERB and Mrs. Eva Maydell, President of the European Movement international and Member of the European Parliament EPP/GERB. It was a privilege to be able to engage in conversation with them.
Let’s open together a new chapter for Europe.
Let’s open a new chapter. That was the title of the EPP Manifesto for the elections of 2019. How to concretise and operationalize the goals? How to include citizens in the processes? How to involve governments on the European level but also governments, all political actors and civil society at all levels? Answering these questions and put them into practice will be tackled in the coming years. The discussion was opened and introduced by two ESU vice-presidents and experienced speakers: Astrid Lulling, MEP (1965-1974 and since 1989- 2014) and Heinz Becker MEP (2011– 2019). Looking at the future: the realisation of the new program of the European Commission still has to start, the implementation of the renewed vision is not finished. There’s still a lot of work to be done.
‘Let’s stand up for Europe. Let’s stand up and share in respect and solidarity our experiences and our hopes for an inclusive Europe wherein no one is left behind.’

New astonishing pictures by the European Space Agency have revealed a 1500 km long and 7 kilometre wide river that once ran across Mars.
The agency’s Mars Express imaged the striking upper part of the remnants of Reull Vallis river on Mars with its high-resolution stereo camera, ESA said in a statement.
New analogies are giving planetary geologists tantalising glimpses of a past on the Red Planet not too dissimilar to events on our own world today.
Reull Vallis, is believed to have formed when running water flowed in the distant martian past, cutting a steep-sided channel through the Promethei Terra Highlands before running on towards the floor of the vast Hellas basin.
This sinuous structure, which stretches for almost 1500 km across the martian landscape, is flanked by numerous tributaries, one of which can be clearly seen cutting in to the main valley towards the upper (north) side.
The new Mars Express images show a region of Reull Vallis at a point where the channel is almost 7 km wide and 300 m deep. The sides of Reull Vallis are particularly sharp and steep, with parallel longitudinal features covering the floor of the channel itself.
These structures are believed to be caused by the passage of loose debris and ice during the “Amazonian” period – which continues to this day – due to glacial flow along the channel.
The structures were formed long after it was originally carved by liquid water during the Hesperian period, which is believed to have ended between 3.5 billion and 1.8 billion years ago.

Centrifugal pumps are hydraulic machines suitable for the most varied applications, with good performances in the whole working performance ranges.
Their main use is the transfer of fluids, from one point to another, by increasing the pressure.
The construction types of centrifugal pumps are different, but their operating principle and the fluid dynamic characteristics are practically the same.
They can be single stage, multistage, horizontal or vertical axis.
According to the construction geometry and the characteristic machine number, can be identified various pump families.
Misa's activity includes the study, design and supply of all these types of pumps.

From his spiritual lessons and experiences, Murali Dharan learned that the creator of the universe is present in creation. The creator is constantly relating with the creation through time, space and energy. His knowledge, love for God and humanity have ignited his passion to write so that he can help and guide others to find their inner light and overcome their daily problems.
“The Cosmic Romance with Existence: A Personal Guide Book for Spiritual Warriors to Merge Their Light with The Cosmic Light” (published by Partridge Singapore) is a personal spiritual guide that walks with readers to remove self-ignorance and realise their higher selves. It explains about pain and suffering, the blissful higher self and spiritual powers. In this book, the universe is called “existence.” The word existence is used because the universe is omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient.
The chapters of this book aim to help readers overcome daily battles and lead them to self-knowledge, serenity and success. It emphasises the sacred role of meditations in awakening the light of consciousness. It offers three guided meditations for the readers. This book is a great spiritual companion for anyone with the courage and fervent will to dive into the ocean of cosmic consciousness.
“This book emphasises that when mind, body and heart are in harmony, everything you need for your material and spiritual growth will flow to you, making your efforts a great success. If you read the book and practice the meditations in it, you will realise that the universe grants blessings and victories at the right time and moment, if you’re ready to receive them,” Dharan says. When asked what he wants readers to take away from the book, he answers, “ When there’s a problem, pain or suffering in your life, take time to study about yourself at that moment. Most problems can be well managed or solved if you’re able to do deep, honest self-reflection to unlock the truth behind your own unconscious and conscious self.”

Network virtualization is a process of separating the functions of a network into different components, such as the physical infrastructure and management and control software and allowing those functions to operate separately. In this process, the software is used to emulate the functionality of hardware components that are commonly part of a traditional network.
Network services are decoupled from the physical hardware they run on. They can be used independently, making them perfect for any network device. With this shift to programmable networks, we can more flexibly provision networks, more securely manage them, and programmatically and dynamically manage them.
Network virtualization simplifies life for network administrators by making it easier to move workloads, modify policies and applications, and avoid complex and time-consuming reconfigurations when performing these tasks. In addition, customers and business people need instant access to various content, services, and information.
Network virtualization results from network virtualization software, which simulates the presence of physical hardware, like routers, switches, load balancers, and firewalls. In layman’s terms, a network virtualization implementation may virtualize components spanning multiple layers of the Open Systems Interconnection Model. These include ones at Layer 2 (switches) and Layer 4 and beyond (load balancers, firewalls, etc. So, for example, in an SD-WAN solution, you can manage your virtual appliances using a management tool.
Network virtualization software creates virtual representations of a network’s underlying hardware and software. This enables you to combine virtualized representations of underlying hardware and software into a single administrative unit. A virtualized environment allows the resources to be hosted inside virtual machines (VMs) or containers and run on top of off-the-shelf commercial x86 hardware to reduce costs. Network virtualization is a technology that allows for workloads to be deployed over a virtual network. Current network policies ensure that the correct network services are coupled with each VM- or container-based workload.
Services move dynamically as workloads come and go, while police change their configuration is a snap. As a result, virtual networking is closely related to SDN, SD-WAN (a subtype of SDN), and network functions virtualization (NFV).
SDN stands for programmable networks, and while it is still in the research phase, it shows tremendous potential for enhancing security, performance, and scalability. For example, one recent report suggested that by 2025, 40% of global Internet traffic will be handled via SDN. As for SD-WAN, it’s an example of the types of network overlays you can achieve with network virtualization.
There are two broad categories of network virtualization: External and internal network virtualization.
External network virtualization
The goal of the external network virtualization is to allow for seamless interoperation of physical networks and thus allow for better administration and management. Network switching hardware and virtual local area network (VLAN) solutions are used to create a VLAN.
In this VLAN, hosts attached to different physical LANs can communicate as if they were all in the same broadcast domain. This type of network virtualization is prevalent in data centers and large corporate networks. A VLAN may separate the systems on the same physical network into smaller virtual networks.
Internal network virtualization
Network virtualization entails creating an emulated network inside an operating system partition. The guest VMs inside an OS partition may communicate with each other via a network-like architecture, via a virtual network interface, a shared interface between guest and host paired with Network Address Translation, or some other means. Internal network virtualization can help prevent attacks on your internal network by isolating applications that might be vulnerable to malicious threats. Networking solutions that implement it are sometimes marketed as “network-in-a-box” offerings by their vendors.
This technology can take many forms.
Standard VLAN technology is still vital, but its limited 12-bit structure has led to the development of better, technically advanced alternatives, particularly when it comes to multi-tenant cloud computing. Virtualization in cloud architectures relies upon multiple types of virtualization to create centralized, network-accessible resource pools that can be quickly provisioned and scaled.
It is increasingly possible to provide cloud-based services to software-defined data centers and the network edge with network virtualization. The successors to VLAN are:
Once implemented, network virtualization delivers higher speed, automation, and administrative efficiency than achievable with only a physical network, for example, a traditional hub-and-spoke WAN. These advantages translate into concrete operational benefits for enterprise businesses and service providers, including but not limited to:
Superior network agility and application delivery
Virtualizing networking enables you to scale networks while maintaining the flexibility of an infrastructure solution. Keeping up with demand for virtual, cloud, and SaaS applications requires an agile, dynamic, and flexible network environment.
This goal requires network virtualization, which reduces the time it takes to deploy a network from days or

Diogo Veiga won $3K Big Blind Antes at the 49th Annual WSOP for his first career gold bracelet. The 54th event was a $3,000 No-Limit Hold’em tournament with the use of big blind antes. He outlasted a 1,020-player field to earn the title and the prize $522,715.
The 29-year-old poker pro Diogo Veigabecame the first Portuguese player to win a bracelet in Las Vegas. Jonathan Aguiar and Francisco da Costa Santos also won bracelets at the 2012 WSOP Europe in Cannes, France representing Portugal.
“I feel amazing. I cannot believe it yet. The adrenaline is still too high,” said Veiga about his win. “I am super happy.”
Veiga entered the informal ten-handed last table in 5th place. He grabbed pocket aces and defeat David Yan’s pocket 8s to double up with 6 players remaining, after that he knocked out Tom McCormick in 5th place ($118,552) to get in four-handed play as the chip leader. The event was set up to run 3 days, however the last four ended up having to return for a 4th day to determine a champ.
Barry Hutter had actually gone beyond Veiga prior to play upright day 3, and also appeared to be taking control when he knocked out Jonathan Abdellatif Fourth place ($163,404) and Radoslav Stoyanov Third place ($228,241).
Barry Hutter took a 3-to-2 chip lead into heads-up play with Veiga and also had the ability to expand his benefit to greater than a 4-to-1 difference prior to Veiga began to mount a comeback. He obtained all-in with a flopped straight against Hutter’s flush draw and also greater straight draw and also stood up. From there he won a couple of pots straight to close the gap even more.
After 28 hands of heads-up action Veiga surpassed the lead. By the time the last hand developed he had actually developed greater than a 3-to-1 benefit of his very own. With blinds of 100,000-200,000 as well as a 200,000 big blind ante, Veiga opted to call from the button. Hutter moved all-in for 3,660,000. Veiga made the call with the KSpade Suit10Spade Suit and was dominated by Hutter’s AClub Suit10Heart Suit. The board came down KClub Suit7Club Suit2Spade Suit8Club Suit7Diamond Suit, pairing Veiga’s king to earn him the pot and the title. Hutter took home $323,019 as the runner-up finisher.

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory are developing a way to control the Casimir force, a quantum mechanical force which attracts objects when they are only a hundred nanometers apart.
“As characteristic device dimensions shrink to the nanoscale, the effects of the attractive Casimir force become more pronounced, making very difficult to control nano-devices. This is a technological challenge that needs to be addressed before the full potential of NEMS devices can be demonstrated,” scientist Daniel Lopez said. “The goal is to not only limit its attractive properties, but also to make it repulsive. A repulsive force acting at the nano-scale would allow engineers to design novel NEMS devices capable of frictionless motion through nanolevitation.”
The approach to controlling this force involves nanostructuring the interacting surfaces to tune the effects of the Casimir force.
Argonne National Laboratory was recently selected by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to develop mechanisms to control and manipulate the Casimir force. This program will be developed in close partnership with Indiana University – Purdue University Indianapolis, National Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST) and Los Alamos National Laboratory.

In August we discussed radicalisation after having read Home Fires by Kamila Shamsa. The author based this novel on the myth of Antigone.
Our September read was a father-daughter story that tells of the author's experience growing up in the Exclusive Brethren, a fundamentalist, separatist Christian cult, The Days of Rain by Rebecca Stott. This was the winner of the 2017 Costa Biography Award.
We were transported to 1847 in October when we read a book containing elements of social criticism and with a strong sense of Christian morality at its core. It also approaches the topics of class, sexuality, religion and feminism, what else but Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte.
November we were transported to America while reading the autobiography of the strong and influential woman Michele Obama (Becoming).
In December we will be discussing My Notorious Life by Madame X by Kate Manning. I wonder if it is as racy as it sounds!
We are now looking for suggestions of books to read for 2020. If you have any recommendations, then please let us know, or why not join us at one of our meetings.
New members are always welcome, we meet on the third Wednesday of each month in the Quiet Room at the rear of Frodsham Methodist Church.
The basic format is to discuss a book that we have all read over tea or coffee and homemade cake, with occasional visits to the theatre or cinema and watching of DVDs. The group meet in the Quiet Room in The Annexe so head to the gate toward the rear of the Church car park. If you are interested in joining our group or for more information speak to Patricia Barnard, who is also one of the Church Stewards, or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.org.

Again, the weather has been kind to me. I have been cutting the docken (don’t you just love that plural?) in the orchard area. I have lots of docks around the place, and often they get to seed before I cut them, thus seedlings grow and the docken proliferate. I have discovered that, contrary to conventional wisdom, if you get the growing top off the dock they don’t tend to grow back. So my technique is to cut with a spade, aiming to get a couple of inches of the tap root, and not worry too much about the rest of the root. We also have some sort of big pinkish white grub that eats dock roots – maybe they eat the remainder?
The orchard area was planted just over three years ago with plum, damson and cherry trees, and I added some apples 18 months ago. It is in a more sheltered dip at the top of the tree field, and I intend to add more soil to landscape the area. I wanted to give the trees as much soil as possible, and also try and keep them well drained. We get so much rain and this is one of the factors that make the fruit trees not grow so well and succumb to disease. At the moment the landscaping is partially done. The trees were planted on mounds, and I have been spreading soil between them. This is barrowed down from below the barn, where it was left from various trackway excavations. Although S. did move down some soil with the dumper, It took a lot of effort to then distribute it and dig out the couch grass and nettles that came too, so wasn’t really much of a labour saving in the end! The trackway down from the barn still needs grading, so is still a bit steep for comfortable barrowing, but at least the heavy bit’s downhill! Anyway, apparently along with the couch and nettles were also a lot of dock seeds which have subsequently germinated and done quite well (oh why aren’t they edible weeds?). So last week I and the dogs took the pink ball and the spade and barrow and set to work. One and a half days later we had cleared the docken, done a lot of fetching, discovered some nicely growing blackcurrant cuttings that I stuck in last winter, a big bone that Dougie had hidden there, a couple of very small spruce seedlings that were missed from several I had temporarily stuck in there eighteen months ago; that is the good news.
The docken were also lovely to dig up from the new soil – many came up with complete roots, so the soil should be good for other stuff to grow in. The bad news is that I also discovered that along with the docken we also have a lot of surviving couch grass (I now know what couch grass flowers look like), nettles and of course the creeping thistle that were in the field before the trees were planted. I’m hoping that continual pulling will deter the creeping thistles. This seems to have been reasonably effective in the tea garden, I had very little come back this year. It’s not the nicest job. You need need grippy gloves to grasp the stems so as to pull as much root as possible: I like the cloth ones with latex facing. However, the palms aren’t strong enough to stop all the prickles, so every now and then you have to pick out a prickle that has broken off in the glove and is sticking in you. I just pulled out the nettles (which will probably grow back) and ignored most of the couch. I know it’s going to grow extensively, but I’m hoping to complete the landscaping, and maybe do some planting this autumn. With a good thick mulch in the meantime and relying on the lovely light soil structure, I’m hoping it will come out then reasonably completely. Anyway, it’s only grass! I’ll probably plant out some of my exciting root crops there this autumn/winter since they will subsequently need digging out anyway giving me a second opportunity to remove the couch….
It was forecast to be dry until Thursday last week, and we were keen to get the paths in the tree field cut. It’s nice to have the grass long, but it makes my trousers wet as I’m walking through (even with wellies on), and S. also has difficulty telling the trees and other plants apart, so having a defined pathway makes it easier if he does have to drive a vehicle round. To be fair the docks are still bigger than some of the trees. I’d asked him to get the mower out ready for me, so that I could cut the paths when I got home from the shop on Wednesday. It would be quite late, but the sun doesn’t set till gone ten for us at the moment, so there is still quite a bit of daylight. Anyway, he

I took a look at the plan Gov. Paterson has released to close the state's budget deficit and a few things strike me.
For starters, I don't see enough structural changes that would result in recurring savings. Yes, Paterson does propose an across the board spending cut of $1.8 billion, but the plan also includes a lot of one-shots.
For example, about one-fifth of this year's gap as projected by Paterson would be closed by taking revenues away from entities ranging from the Environmental Protection Fund to the Battery Park City Authority and moving up the anticipated payment to the state from whatever company wins the bid to operate the Aqueduct Video Lottery Terminal franchise.
Those maneuvers add up to $626 million. They are not cuts. They do not address the long-term structural deficit. They represent one part quick fix, one part slight of hand.
Also, there's not a word about layoffs, although the $1.8 billion in spending cuts might prompt some. No one wants to see people losing their jobs, especially in these economic times, but structural change demands it. The party is over.
I know the schools are going to howl over a cut of nearly $700 million in aid, but keep in mind that districts have been enjoying hand-over-fist increases for years.
As the governor's office noted in its press release:
... school aid spending of $21.2 billion would still represent a $6.8 billion or 47 percent increase compared to 2003-04. Moreover, based on census data, New York spends more total per pupil than any other state and 63 percent above the national average.
Like layoffs, cuts in school aid are necessary if the state is ever to get its fiscal house in order.

Tesamorelin, also called Egrifta in the clinical setting, is a growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) analogue consisting of standard GHRH to which an additional trans-3-hexanoic acid group has been added. Produced by Theratechnologies of Canada, Tesamorelin became the newest drug to be approved by the FDA for use in HIV-associated lipodystrophy in 2010. The peptide has also been investigated for its ability to improve peripheral nerve regeneration and as a potential intervention for mild cognitive impairment (MCI), the precursor to dementia.
Sermorelin is one of a handful of growth hormone releasing hormone GHRH analogues that have been developed in recent years in an effort to preserve some of the positive effects of natural GHRH while avoiding undesirable effects. Sermorelin (Geref) is currently used clinically to assess growth hormone secretion, but the peptide is of additional interest for its abilities to:
- reduce scarring following heart attack,
- increase bone density,
- improve nutrition in chronic illness,
- improve renal function,
- fight the effects of dementia, and
- reduce seizure activity.

Lord of the Rings fans, rejoice! Bilbo is back!
Back in October, we were excited to learn that Love Actually/The Hitchhiker's Guide to The Galaxy star Martin Freeman had been cast as Bilbo Baggins in Peter Jackson's The Hobbit!
Now, we're EVEN MORE excited to report that Ian Holm will return as an older version of Bilbo in the epic LOTR prequel films.
Here's what Peter Jackson said about it on his Facebook page:
One comment that came up from the recent video blog was the Bilbo voice at the end—many of you assumed it was Sir Ian Holm. Whilst Ian will be returning as the older Bilbo Baggins in The Hobbit, that recording was actually Martin Freeman's voice, taken from a script read through we recorded when the cast first arrived. I have to admit, I wasn't sure who it was when I first heard it, either. Cheers, Peter JSuch great news! We think both Bilbo actors will be wonderful!
Are U excited about Ian Holm's return as an older Bilbo Baggins in The Hobbit?

(n,nʹ[gamma]) reactions in 6̳3̳,̳6̳5̳Cu and background in 0[nu] [beta] [beta] experiments

MetadataShow full item record
Measurements of (n, xnʹ[gamma]) reactions in Cu are important for understanding neutroninduced background for certain underground double beta decay experiments. Neutroninduced gammas are a contribution to background for the next generation of double beta decay experiments, which are designed to reach the sensitivity of the atmospheric neutrino mass scale (45 meV). Measuring and understanding the high-energy neutron excitations of shielding materials such as natCu are crucial for establishing shielding requirements and understanding background. In particular, the regions around the Q-values of candidate 0[nu beta beta] decay isotopes must be investigated. Partial [gamma]-ray cross sections for a natural copper target were measured using the GEANIE spectrometer in a broad-spectrum neutron beam at LANSCE. The experimental apparatus, and sources of systematic and statistical error are discussed. The results provide useful data for benchmarking Monte Carlo simulation of background events in future experiments. Furthermore, measuring specific (n, nʹ) excited state transitions in this material represents a nuclear structure contribution.

Do you know where your plastic waste goes?
It will probably end up in the sea. When we throw away something made of plastic, we tend to think that it disappears and ends up nowhere. The truth is that ''nowhere'' is the sea, and we are polluting it faster and faster. We must either rethink our consumer habits or rethink our life as humans.
A Plastic Ocean reveals the harsh reality about the destination of the 8 tons of plastic that we throw away every day. Using chilling real-life images of the terrible impact on marine life, journalist Craig Leeson, together with scientists and researchers, explores the fragile state of our oceans, reveals alarming truths that affect our health, and suggests solutions that could be applied immediately.
Our guest speakers will be Carla A. Chicote, engineer and master in oceanography at the marine environment consultancy Submon, and Ignasi Ferrer Pellicer, founder of Seastainable Ventures.

FTC DECISION TO DROP PROBE SEEN AS MAJOR BOOST FOR FINCHEM
Published September 11, 1995
The FTC's decision to drop their investigation into the PGA Tour was a "stunning and total victory for PGA Commissioner Tim Finchem, who exhibited some of his well-honed political acumen along the way," according to Thomas Bonk of the L.A. TIMES. Bonk calls the strategy of Finchem and PGA Tour attorney Edward Moorhouse "flawless," as they enlisted Congressional support, laid the groundwork for "potential limited antitrust exemptions" if an unfavorable decision came down. Also, the two never talked about the FTC's investigation without "mentioning that money the tour donated to charity would be jeopardized." The PGA Tour spent more than $1M in legal fees over the course of the probe, and "held a stance that it needed controls to ensure strong player fields to make the sponsors and the networks happy." PGA Tour VP/Communications John Morris: "If our powers had been taken away from us, we'd have been as bad as tennis" (L.A. TIMES, 9/10). GOLFWORLD writes the ruling was not good news for the proposed World Tour, whose offices in West Palm Beach, FL, had a taped message explaining the number had been disconnected (GOLFWORLD, 9/8 issue).

On his 59th birthday (November 29), let's celebrate Don Cheadle's illustrious career, marked by versatility, depth, and an uncanny ability to bring multifaceted characters to life across both film and television. His contributions have not only entertained audiences but also provoked thought and reflection on critical societal issues.
Cheers to a talent that continues to shape and redefine the landscape of contemporary cinema and storytelling. Here is his life in film.
Moving Violations (1985)
Don Cheadle's humble beginning as an actor began when he played a burger joint employee in the 1985 comedy "Moving Violations." This film was his introduction to the world as an actor on the rise.
Starring alongside Sean Penn and Robert Duvall, Don played Rocket in the 1988 American police action crime film "Colors." His early roles showed that he had a passion for shedding light on the stories of those in the armed forces.
Devil in a Blue Dress (1995)
The world really took notice of Cheadle for his portrayal of Mouse Alexander in the iconic film "Devil in a Blue Dress." Starring alongside Oscar-winner Denzel Washington, the actor won a Los Angeles Film Critics Association Award in the category of Best Supporting Actor for his performance.
Hotel Rwanda (2004)
In 2004, Cheadle went on to star in the genocide drama film "Hotel Rwanda." His performance went on to earn him an Oscar nomination in the category for Best Actor.
The actor wore two hats, both starring in and co-producing the film "Crash," which went on to win the 2005 Academy Award for Best Picture. He played the role of Detective Graham Waters in the film.
For a second time, he starred in and produced the spy thriller film "Traitor." He played Samir Horn, an Arabic-speaking Sudanese-American and devout Muslim in the film, showing his intensely diverse chops as an actor.
Iron Man 2 (2010)
Returning to the action route, Cheadle took on the role of James Rhodes in the 2010 superhero film "Iron Man 2," where he replaced Terrence Howard. The Marvel film went on to gross more than $600 million in the box office.
Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015)
Standing the test of time and relevance for all these years, Don Cheadle reprised his role as Col. James Rhodes again, in the 2015 film "Avengers: Age of Ultron." The film ended up being one of the biggest box office smashes in history at the time.
"Black Monday" (2019-2021)
Continuing his television success, Cheadle starred as Maurice Monroe, a larger-than-life stock trader for three seasons. His performance infuses the character with eccentricity and cunning, contributing to the show's comedic flair and gripping storytelling.
The Wonder Years (2021–2023)
Don Cheadle narrated the "The Wonder Years" reboot, providing the adult voice-over for the main character's recollections. Although the show was canceled after two seasons, but it was a beautiful depiction of a Black family.

BonsaiDb attempts to have reasonable default configuration options, but it's important to browse the available options to ensure there aren't options that might help your particular needs.
StorageConfiguration structure is used to open a local-only database. The
ServerConfiguration struct contains an instance of
StorageConfiguration, and all configuration optionsl are available on it.
By default, BonsaiDb sets
vault_key_storage to a file stored within the database folder. This is incredibly insecure and should not be used outside of testing.
For secure encryption, it is important to store the vault keys in a location that is separate from the database. If the keys are on the same harware as the database, anyone with access to the disk will be able to decrypt the stored data.
If you have more than one server, you can still use
LocalVaultKeyStorage in conjunction with a mounted network share for reasonable security practices -- assuming the network share itself is properly secured.
If you have an S3-compatible storage service available, you can use
bonsaidb::keystorage::s3 to store the vault keys with that service.
Note that by storing your keys remotely, your BonsaiDb database will not be able to be opened unless the keys are able to be read.
Vault Key Storage can also be set using
default_encryption_key to a key, all data will be encrypted when written to the disk.
None, encryption will still be performed for collections that return a key from
Can also be set using
tasks.worker_count setting controls the number of worker tasks that are spawned to process background tasks.
Can also be set using
views.check_integrity_on_open is true, all views in all databases will be checked on startup for integrity. If this value is false, the integrity of the view will not be checked until it is accessed for the first time.
By default, BonsaiDb delays checking a view's integrity until its accessed for the first time. it may, however, be preferred to have a higher startup time to ensure consistent response times once the server is running after a restart of the server.
Can also be set using
The Key-Value store is designed to be a lightweight, atomic data store that is suitable for caching data, tracking metrics, or other situations where a Collection might be overkill.
By default, BonsaiDb persists Key-Value store changes to disk immediately. For light usage, this will not be noticable, and it ensures that no data will ever be lost.
If you're willing to accept potentially losing recent writes,
key_value_persistence can be configured to lazily commit changes to disk. The documentation for
KeyValuePersistence contains examples as well as an explanation of how the rules are evaluated.
Key-Value Persistence can also be set using
ServerConfiguration structure is used to open a BonsaiDb server. Being built atop the local storage engine, this structure exposes an instance of
StorageConfiguration, allowing full customization.
server_name setting is for the primary DNS name of the server. The server's TLS certificate should be valid for the server's name.
When using ACME, this setting controls the primary certificate requested.
Can also be set using a builder-style method.
BonsaiDb's networking protocols support multiple requests to be sent before any responses have been received, sometimes called pipelining. Without a limit, a single malicious client could send a large number of load-inducing requests and cause reliability of service issues for other clients.
By limiting each connection's maximum ability to a reasonable number, it allows clients to take advantage of pipelining without allowing any one client to saturate the server with requests.
When first connecting to a server, the client is unauthenticated and is granted the permissions defined by
default_permissions. Once a connected client has authenticated, the client will be granted
authenticated_permissions in addition to whatever permissions already granted by the authenticated role.
By default, both
authenticated_permissions contain no granted permissions. This means that by default, no connections are allowed to a server, as the connection hasn't been gramted
ACME has two configurable options, a contact email and the ACME directory.
The contact email is submitted to the ACME directory as part of requesting a TLS certificate. It is optional for the LetsEncrypt directories.
A valid value for this field begins with
By default, BonsaiDb uses the production LetsEncrypt directory, but any ACME directory can be specified.

As part of the sponsorship agreement between the Mirpuri Foundation and the Sailing Academy of Cascais, all boats of the Optimist class are now displaying the Foundation image, carrying an important alert message to sensitize the young sailors to marine conservation issues, as each boat represents a marine species in danger of extinction. The Mirpuri Foundation also offered ten brand new Optimist boats to the sailing academy, and to honor this moment Paulo Mirpuri, President of the Foundation, visited the place accompanied by Miguel Horta e Costa, Commodore of the Naval Club of Cascais.
The Mirpuri Foundation believes sailing is a sport that brings young people and the sea closer together, thus making them more sensible towards the problems the oceans are facing and mobilising them to participate in their resolution.
Marine Conservation projects have been granted special attention and the Foundation has been working with Governments, Communities, Associations and Companies with the aim of raising awareness towards the great issues threatening our oceans, such as pollution, acidification, rising temperatures, coral bleaching, unsustainable fishing and extinction risk for many marine species.

Why is a canvas tote getting so many orders? Well it could have something to do with the Hermes Birkin-esque print on each side of the bag – include the sides and base. Created by Thursday Friday because: We’ll say it, the surreal design that “references luxury” is more than just a case of referencing the iconic Hermes Birkin bag but admittedly it’s a kind of novel idea. Buy it HERE!!!

Bayou Bend Spuds Second Marsh Island Well
Bayou Bend Petroleum has commenced drilling its second well on the Marsh Island project located in the Gulf of Mexico, offshore Louisiana. The well is testing the Bootspur Prospect, a large structural trap approximately 1.5 miles southeast from the Company's producing Greylock field. Todco Rig 52 was mobilized to site and Bootspurt #1 spudded on June 24, 2007.
The Boot Spur prospect is a 15700 feet geopressured Cib Op test that will offset the recent Dutch discovery by Contango Oil and Gas Company. The well is expected to reach target depth in approximately 70 days. If successful, the well will be immediately completed and tied-in to the Company's El-7 production facility. The Company has a 35.5809% interest in the well.
The Marsh Island project comprises a quality portfolio of gas/condensate assets onshore/offshore Marsh Island in the Gulf of Mexico, including the 40 MMcfgpd production facility that is tied into the existing regional pipeline infrastructure.
Bayou Bend is an oil and gas exploration and production company with a focus in the Gulf of Mexico shallow water shelf area. The Company has lease interests in the State Waters of Louisiana near Marsh Island and owns a 100% interest in several Federal OCS blocks offshore Louisiana and Texas. The Company has an aggressive drilling program planned for 2007 including a minimum of 7 exploration wells.

Nowadays it’s turning into more and more common offroad, or extreme driving on unpaved parcel. It comes in 2 varieties: offroad and rock travel. Offroad is comparatively easier than rock crawling; looking on the tract and the type of categories and automobile routes are divided into many classes: extreme, with the highest degree of issue, suitable for the toughest cars and veteran drivers, adventure, indicating the vehicles heavily changed, but with less difficulty than the intense, sport, requiring extended ability, but easier to defeat and do – dedicated very little changed for offroad cars and novice participants events. If we wish to arrange the automotive for driving within the area, positively take a glance at the corporate Smittybilt. Offroad is primarily an honest preparation of the automobile – if solidly to go over, the car are able to get through the most tough piece of land. 4×4 The most common types of tract that occur throughout offroad events this route road, gravel, sand, mud, stones, water and forests, taking into consideration the passage of a really tall grass and scrub. Rock travel is an extreme variant while the off-road, requiring vital changes in automobile construction and the highest driving skills. Rock crowlig is grownup in mountainous areas, leading through the rocks, mountain trails and other, very difficult to overcome obstacles. Dedicated to cross-country cars are every kind and kinds of cross-country vehicles, jeeps, trucks with machine drive.

I ask myself this question, as I face a jumble of foliage at the end of the wooden walkway I’m hiking. I have taken a detour on my drive to Newport News, VA, to a preserve I found on a map. Out on the trail, spring has come in force.
I hear the wichety-wichety of yellowthroats – the piccolos of the forest orchestra today – accompanied by the bassoon of the frogs. Woodpecker percussion keeps time. Bees hum loudly as they speed past me, as if trying to get home to put pen to paper before the melody is lost.
A delicate flower on the forest floor – showy orchis, a kind of wild orchid -- seems, at the same time, both gaudy and unassuming.
Spring has arrived!
But what if it hadn’t? What if, for some freak reason, life hadn’t come out of hiding this year? The forest, rather than just being dormant, was simply done? It’s hard to imagine. We assume the downward swing will arc up again. It’s like the Icelandic proverb I read last night: “No night is so dark that day won’t come after.” We assume that night is not the end. Nor winter. Nor death.
It’s hard-wired in us to want life to win -- to hope that winter is just the dissonant prelude to the symphony of spring.
And with the good news of Easter still ringing in my heart, I have a boldness to believe that death is not our final destination. Jesus says from his throne in Rev. 21:5, “Behold! I am making all things new!” And everywhere I look today, I am reminded of that work.
All around me, “death is swallowed up in victory.” (1 Cor. 15:54) The beech leaves seem almost exuberant in their overrunning of the standing, rotting tree. That’s the thing about spring – it’s so abundant, so dominant, so take-no-prisoners enveloping. It is a complete transformation of the environment around me.
That’s the message that we carry into a world of hurt and heartache and tragic death.
Because of Jesus’s resurrection, life wins.
Risen Lord, let us be like spring – overflowing and abundant, carrying the sure knowledge of eternal life into every barren place, into every conversation, bringing hope into a world longing for redemption. Through us, let your kingdom come.

Browsing through any classifieds section, you are sure to come across some truly high-end rides on the cheap. Cars once retailed in the hundreds of thousands can be yours for the price of a new Prius. Used luxury cars currently offer the biggest savings, but buying one is a huge gamble too, with gearboxes likely to face costly problems down the road.
Starting with the obvious, buyers fell in love with large luxury barges, in favor of smaller, more eco-friendly EVs, coupes and SUVs, ditching high-end makes and models for peanuts. Filled with luxuriously trimmed leather and wood interiors that add weight, automakers are simply adding a bigger, more powerful, and thirstier engine. Some of the more luxurious budget cars have mpg that plunges low-teens, scary stuff for those with a nervous eye on the fuel gauge.
With more of everything including a host of electrical accessories, seats, windows, massagers, just about anything you can imagine comes from increasingly complex electronics, at one point a gremlin or two are going to present a huge diagnostic and financial headache.
Are you still tempted by a bargain in pre-owned luxury? Read on, here are ten of the best deals to be had, all great. Used vehicles that we probably shouldn’t buy.
ten Rolls Royce Silver Spur
The most famous luxury car manufacturer in the world! Rolls Royce’s reputation does not need to be explained, reassuringly price buyers are assured of not only getting the best materials but also a bespoke design package, ensuring two cars are never identical. The launch of the Silver Spur in 1995 cost buyers $ 180,000 before specifying a customization.
A timeless classic that can now be yours for much less. $ 15,000 easily securing two and a half tons of the finest wood, leather and handcrafted bodywork, powered by RR’s legendary 6.75-liter V8 producing 240 hp and consuming gasoline at a rate of 12 miles per gallon.
9 Maserati Quattroporte
High-end branding, gorgeous styling and luxuriously appointed, Maserati tools seem to be on the decline at this point. The fifth Quattroporte model launched in 2003 wears Pininfarina bodywork on original Ferrari engines. On paper, it’s the perfect luxury sport sedan, ravaged even from the start by complex electrical issues.
Here’s the catch, nothing else looks or fits quite like the Quattroporte, especially for the same price. The 400-horsepower Ferrari V8s propel its occupants in leather-clad luxury to a top speed of 168 mph. Tempting, of course, but servicing the Quattroporte when the going gets tough is going to get expensive.
8 Porsche panamera
On second thought, the Porsche Panamera is the perfect luxury sports car; four doors and a full four-seater cabin make this the perfect argument for a family man looking to avoid joining the growing number of SUVs. Inside, traditional leather trims meet modern carbon fiber accents.
Even at the lower end, the Panamera isn’t a shrinking purple. Porsche starts off with a nice 3.6-liter, 300-hp V6, higher-performance models equipped with V8s and even a turbo option. Top-of-the-line models might seem like a bargain, but with those extras come worrisome maintenance costs. Porsche’s carbon-ceramic brakes don’t come cheap, and neither do rotors and pads.
7 Cadillac Escalade
In theory, a luxury SUV truck should offer the best value for money in terms of space, comfort with the advantage of riding higher while keeping prying eyes away from its occupants. At one point, when logging into MTV, you would have been amazed at the number of music videos featuring Escalade.
Despite its immense size and weight which normally obscures any suspension issues, the Escalade suffers from an below average ride quality, with the air suspension battling even the smallest imperfections in the road, made worse by the fact that the Most buyers will opt for larger wheels.
6 Mercedes-Benz S430
Buying an S-Class is a challenge in itself, in the eight years of production of the W200 no less than 29 variants of both and the engine chassis were made, including a few hot AMG editions. Sitting roughly in the middle of the table, the S430 has all the luxury amenities and accessories of larger and smaller models, with a 4.3-liter V8 under the hood.
At the time, Mercedes equipped the S-Class with the latest technological innovations, air suspension, rain-sensing windshield wipers, radar-assisted cruise control and voice recognition, all heavily dependent on complex electronics. The fact

You don’t need us to tell you that Cara Delevingne and Rita Ora love a statement-making wardrobe buy, but did you know their latest obsession is one you can afford too? Yep, you’re going to fall head over heels in love with the new street style label Cara, Rita and countless other celebs are wearing. It’s called Local Heroes, and it’s seriously hot right now.
The brainchild of two young Polish girls, Areta Szpura and Karolina Slota, Local Heroes is inspired by youth subcultures and focuses on taking simple, staple shapes like sweatshirts and tees, and injecting them full of sassy humour and wit.
Remember Cara’s quirky ‘Last clean t-shirt’ tee? Yep. That was Local Heroes.
The brand knew early on that it needed to engage with the fash pack using language that only they understand, and before long international A-listers – Rihanna, Justin Bieber, Cara – were smitten with the designs. Unsurprisingly, Local Heroes exploded over social media, with Ellie Goulding and co snapping countless selfless in their wares. Then Cara wore that tee and the rest is history.
With prices starting from just £15, you can bag yourself a piece of this trend for less than the price of a Friday night takeaway.
Take a look at some of our favourite new collection pieces below; and don’t forget to see what else is new on the high street by taking a look at Look’s daily Fashion Drop.

Lauren Conrad Blogs About Things to Avoid Saying to a Pregnant Woman
Watch your mouth around Lauren Conrad! The reality star and lifestyle guru recently announced that she is expecting her first child with hubby, William Tell, and on Tuesday, she took to her website to give readers tips on how to speak with pregnant women.
In the post titled “Ladylike Laws: 4 Things to Never Say to a Pregnant Woman,” The Hills star outlined some of the “don’ts” surrounding pregnancy.
WATCH: Lauren Conrad Shares First Baby Bump Pic, and It's Just as Cute as We Expected!
“I am going to touch on a topic that has been on my mind lately for obvious reasons: what to say to a woman who is pregnant,” Conrad began. “I may only be in my second trimester, but I’ve already noticed quite a few etiquette missteps when it comes to how people behave around someone who is expecting.”
Her first rule was to not ask a married couple when they were trying to have a child.
“Keep in mind that the decision to have children (both if and when), is an extremely personal one. And any questioning, pressure, or even hinting about it usually just makes the couple uncomfortable (and yes, this includes making comments on the Instagram of someone who is in the public eye!),” she noted, potentially referencing some of the pressures she felt prior to getting pregnant. “You also never know if someone may be privately struggling with fertility or has suffered through a recent miscarriage.”
Another big no-no was asking about a due date when the pregnancy had not been confirmed.
“There’s no bigger blow to someone’s self-confidence and body image than asking them if they are pregnant when they are not,” she said. “So unless they already mentioned that they are expecting, it’s much better to hold your tongue.”
Conrad also suggested that people refraining from commenting on the size of someone’s baby bump, admitting, “I myself have been guilty of this one.”

And her final rule was “Don’t touch the belly without asking!”
Conrad announced her first pregnancy with a sonogram pic on New Year’s Day and posted the first baby bump shot shortly after. She and Tell tied the knot in 2014.

LAS VEGAS – Even the most careful clinical pain management cannot eliminate the risk of opioid misuse in patients with a history of addiction, but good communication can help reduce the risk significantly, Dr. Sean Mackey said during a psychopharmacology conference sponsored by the Nevada Psychiatric Association.
"Some of the basic tenets of managing patients with chronic opioids are education, education, and education," said Dr. Mackey, chief of the pain management division at Stanford (Calif.) University. "It’s important to set expectations for people with chronic pain. The cure is not the goal; we’re there to help improve quality of life and get people back in control of their lives, better manage pain, and improve physical functioning."
According to best estimates from existing medical literature, the prevalence of comorbid chronic pain and opioid addiction in the United States ranges between 0.6-1.2 million people, mainly affecting young adults and the elderly. But that estimate might be conservative. A June 2011 report from the Institute of Medicine noted that chronic pain affects 116 million Americans – more than the total affected by heart disease, cancer and diabetes combined – at a cost of $560-$630 billion per year. Chronic pain "is the No. 1 reason people are out of work, hitting people often at their most productive ages, and also hitting people more and more as we advance in years," Dr. Mackey said.
In his opinion, optimal management of patients with chronic pain consists of a multidisciplinary approach "in which we bring together specialists who take care of pharmacologic aspects to pain management, physical and occupational therapy approaches, psychological/behavioral approaches, and complementary and alternative medicine approaches. It’s a team-based approach. A lot of this is dealing with body education: helping people understand what is safe for them to do and what is not safe for them to do, alleviating their fears about their body.
"We do procedural approaches as well, everything from simple trigger-point injections to spinal cord stimulation – all in the context of a functional rehabilitation approach."
Psychological approaches include giving patients time-contingent dosing of medications, "on-the-clock rather than when they are experiencing pain," said Dr. Mackey, who also directs the Stanford Systems Neuroscience and Pain Lab. "We also give positive reinforcement for healthy behaviors, negative reinforcement for unhealthy behaviors, and we get their spouse involved, because their involvement is crucial to success."
To responsibly prescribe opioids, Dr. Mackey recommends that physicians become familiar with the Federation of State Medical Boards’ Model Policy for the Treatment of Pain. He also recommends the book "Responsible Opioid Prescribing: A Physician’s Guide," by pain expert Dr. Scott M. Fishman (Waterford, Mich.: Waterford Life Sciences, 2007). This book incorporates the tenets set out in the FSMB’s model policy. "The basic tenet of this model is that pain management is a moral imperative; we should all be aware of the problems of pain management and the use of opioids may be necessary for our patients in pain," Dr. Mackey said.
The model also emphasizes that the use of opioids other than for a legitimate medical purpose "does pose a problem, that we have a responsibility to minimize the abuse and diversion with risk mitigation, [and] that physicians may deviate from recommended treatment when they have good cause. That means we’re not trying to box people in to rigid policies."
His recommended strategy for prescribing opioids in patients with a history of substance abuse starts with a careful assessment and formation of an appropriate differential diagnosis and a psychological assessment, including risk of addictive disorders. Next, have patients sign an informed consent for opioid treatment. "Our consent form has changed somewhat," Dr. Mackey said. "I’m giving patients more information about the potential for organ toxicity and the endocrine abnormalities that can occur as a consequence of opioid use, such as depression of sex hormones."
This is followed by asking patients to sign an opioid treatment agreement that informs them about your standard opioid prescribing policy, such as stating that medication will be refilled during regular office hours, Mondays through Fridays, that lost narcotic medication cannot be replaced, and that stolen narcotic medication may be replaced provided they obtain a police report and are seen in the office.
Dr. Mackey then begins patients on an appropriate trial of opioid therapy with or without adjunctive medications.
"I use the word ‘trial’ because people often think this is meant to be a long-term use of these medications when we try to make it clear right up front that use is for the short term," he explained. "I then assess and reassess their level of pain and function."

's Logical Investigations
or Logische Untersuchungen
is a philosophical work that seeks to justify our knowledge of objects by the concept of ideal mental objects. The work redefines knowledge of objects so that is not dependent only on empirical
Husserl doesn't believe that our sensory and neurological apparatus, which allows us to perceive color
s, spatial coordinate
s, enables us to have knowledge of objects. According to him, the apparatus that actually does allow for this is separate from sensual perception, although often working together with it.
Sensual perception is always accompanied by an act of the constitution
of the separate sensation
s into an ideal object. This ideal object mirrors the real object in question and makes the knowledge of the real object accessible. However, during the act of perceiving of an object, the perceiver is usually not aware of this other side-activity that makes the perception possible. He therefore neglects to consider the mental object that has given him access to the real real object.
The goal of Husserl's phenomenology
, called phenomenological reduction
, is to remedy this unfortunate neglect by turning away from the real objects and catalog the ideal mental objects (noemas
) and the mental acts that produce them (noesis
.) instead. Husserl turns to a clever metaphor of background and foreground that would be conducive to convincing others to undertake his method.
This metaphor succeeds at concretely illustrating why we are able to access objects only when our mind
reaches out to these objects with self-constituted ideal entities that can grasp them. The foreground
of our perceptive field shows that there are select empirical objects that cause us to produce ideal
mental objects that grasp the real empirical ones. However, the other sensations are not grasped as objects at the same timepoint. They are merely left as undifferentiated and undetermined sensations
ed representations of subjective consciousness
offer good examples of foreground and background objects of perception
. The screen's focus
on a specific person or thing, while blurring everything around them seeks to represent a consciousness that perceives a specific object in its field
, while relegating everything else to a whirling flux
of undetermined sensations.
In his phenomenological approach, Husserl wants to focus on the dichotomy of the flux of undetermined sensations in the background of our field of vision and the empirical objects in focus in the foreground of our vision. It only latter objects that we grasp during an act of perception by constituting ideal mental object
s to access them. The others in the background are left unprocessed and unaccessed.
One of phenomenology's many insights into perception is the elucidation into the way a person's mind intends meaning
by producing a certain mental object in a certain way. Said more concretely, it is the study of how and why a person's mind chooses to pick out certain sense expressions to create an object that becomes the foreground of his focus
while leaving out the others as undetermined in the background.
Husserl's phenomenological approach developed in his Logical Investigations
would later serve as a foundation for studies of human thought
. His essays Idea
s I and Ideas II moved from theoretical
concerns of justifying knowledge
to touching broader implications
affecting human life.
These phenomenological explanations of human life took a person or a group's subjective interaction
with his Umwelt or surroundings
as a starting point. The essays showed how these influenced a person's focus tendencies and therefore produced varying ideal mental objects in his mind.
The same phenomenological theme
is later developped by Martin Heidegger
in Being and Time. His philosophy creates an intimate link
between the way a person posits his objects and his interaction with his surroundings. In this way, Heidegger's view of the constitution of objects takes into consideration one's concrete physical interactions
with one's environment
, as well as various factors that influence this interaction such as individual psychology
, emotional disposition
, and inherited cultural values.
Thus, Husserl and Heidegger use the basic idea
that a person generates his perception of empirical objects by a prior mental object constitution to draw attention to a broader theme. This broad theme uses phenomenology's description of subjective focus to stress cultural and personal subjectivity in general. Although Husserl's philosophical goals were to ground knowledge, the phenomenological approach was eventually applied to the way a person's psychological state of mind
as well as his cultural tendencies
influenced conceptual framework
s in their environment.

Imagine you had the power to kill with just a wish. You might already have a name in mind. It’d be so easy. You just have to write down that name. It wouldn’t feel like murder, because it’s not like you were there, like you wielded the weapon. It’d be like a dream or a game. Not murder. You’d possess incredible power, incredible reach, and with no immediate consequences. You could change the world. Could you be trusted with this power?
That’s the darkly intriguing premise of Death Note, the popular manga written by Tsugumi Ohba and illustrated by Takeshi Obata, which was turned into a 37-episode anime, and now has been condensed into an American movie. The result is an adaptation that’s rushed, irksome, and above all else mediocre.
Best known for horror hits like You’re Next and The Guest, director Adam Wingard offers gore and a creepy creature, but no gravity or heroes worth giving a damn about. Full Disclosure: I’ve never read the manga or seen the anime. Nonetheless, Netflix’s Death Note feels like an abridged version of a clearly richer narrative. Our heroes are introduced with lazy iconography to signal them as misfits. Loner Light Turner (Nat Wolff looking like baby Max Landis with a bad bleach job) sulks as he sells homework as if it’s a drug deal, while gawking over beautiful cheerleader Mia Sutton (Margaret Qualley), who we know is deep because she looks bored and is smoking a cigarette while her squad plays with pom-poms. (She’s not like the other girls!)
You might remember Qualley as the gorgeous weirdo behind this addictive perfume commercial:
In Death Note, her wild charisma and mesmerizing physicality is wasted in one-note role of Angry Pixie Dream Girl. Maybe you should just watch this on a loop instead?
See, once Light is gifted with the titular book, he has the power to communicate with a death god called Ryuk (Willem Dafoe sinisterly spitting threats and creepily cackling), who’ll kill whomever is named in the Death Note. Having spoken less than ten words to Mia, Light decides he should confide in her about his newfound power. And over the course of a breakneck montage of over the bra action and deathstravaganzas, the two become a Natural Born Killers-like couple who’ve become the Banksy of vigilante justice. Together, they quickly kill 400 criminals, graffiti-ing the name “Kira” in blood at each scene. It all happens in a breathless pace that kills the resonance of big moments, sparking a domino effect that will make most of the movie numbing instead of moving. By half an hour in, Light has gone from jaded loner to mass murdering god, leaving us little time to connect to him before he’s gone too far. As for Mia, she’s never more than the love interest who takes her top off, then grows abruptly overzealous to prove Light’s not that bad. (He literally calls himself “the lesser of two evils,” which made me want to scream for reasons too relevant.)
Mia is a plot function, not a character. Light is a whiny, self-righteous brat, so I began actively rooting against him, hoping Ryuk would slap him across the face with his giant hands at the very least. Thank the movie gods for Lakeith Stanfield, who brings a jolt to Death Note as he slides onto screen as the mysterious independent detective L.
Punctuated by yowling, yelps and pouting, Wolff’s performance comes from horror-comedies. Trapped being untamed and sexy, Qualley rages in a remake of the music video “Crying.” But Stanfield gets it. With an elocution so sharp it bleeds cool and a physicality so smooth he looks like a visual effect, Stanfield feels like a slick anime character come to life. Even with half of his face covered for much of his screen time, he’s able to lure us in where his co-stars failed. And when plot twists turn against L, Stanfield —with a pound of his fist, and eyes pulsing with rage and pain—gives Death Note much-needed emotional weight. But honestly, he’s about it for highlights.
The gore is the standard stuff of Hollywood slashers, complete with bursting skulls, splashes of blood, and a parade of seeming suicides. (Jessica Jones did it and creepier!) Ryuk loses something in translation from animation to live-action. His silhouette with its spikes and jaws is harrowing. But the CGI face looks

ARM has unveiled Cortex-M0+ processor that is touted by the company as the world's most power-efficient 32-bit microprocessor. According to ARM, the Cortex-M0+ can operate on 9µA/MHz, i.e., the chip can operate on nine microamperes per megahertz (1 microampere = 1 millionth of an ampere).
The Cortex-M0+ processor is designed for intelligent sensors and smart control systems in a broad range of applications including home appliances, white goods like refrigerators, air-conditioning units and washing machines, medical monitoring, metering, lighting and power and motor control devices. The processor will bring network connectivity to these devices.
Besides allowing them to be connected to networks, the Cortex-M0+ processor enables specific applications to be run off these devices, thereby delivering increased intelligence to them without sacrificing power consumption. The processor only consumes around one third of the energy of any current 8- or 16-bit processor, while delivering significantly higher performance.
Currently, two firms have licensed the technology from ARM; they are Freescale and NXP Semiconductors.

Brainstorm a list of societal challenges — from extreme heat to social equity to transportation — and they all share two characteristics: They have unique distributions in space, and their spatial patterns change over time.
Trisalyn Nelson, the new director of ASU’s School of Geographical Sciences and Urban Planning as of July 1, has focused her research on examining spatial and spatial-temporal patterns in order to better understand the underlying processes behind everything from wildlife movement to hazardous chemical exposure to cycling safety.
“Societal challenges are increasingly complex,” Nelson said. “They include interactions between physical environments, built environments, and people.
“With 54 percent of the world’s population living in cities, health and sustainability require urban planning that is informed by knowledge of earth processes and human interactions with space and place.”
“I chose to move to ASU because I believe society needs solutions that an integrated geographical sciences and urban planning school can provide,” Nelson said.
With its strength in areas such as urban climatology and Geographical Information Science (GIS), Nelson feels that the School of Geographical Sciences and Urban Planning is uniquely poised to address a wide range of key issues: the impact of climate change on urban sustainability and population health, how best to use newly-available geographic data for smart urban design, the role of active transportation like cycling as a mechanism for sustainability, the impacts of human disturbance on earth systems, plants, and wildlife — and more.
“I’m pleased to welcome Dr. Trisalyn Nelson to our college and to ASU,” said Elizabeth Wentz, dean of Social Sciences for the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. “She brings an impressive research record that crosses disciplinary boundaries to solve societal problems, as well as strong success as a leader.”
Nelson joins ASU from Canada’s University of Victoria, where she founded and directed the Spatial Pattern Analysis and Research Laboratory, was director of the Geomatics Program, and held the Lansdowne Research Chair in Spatial Sciences.
Nelson’s research initiatives build on transdisciplinarity among technical fields — integrating the power of computing, statistics and geographic information science (GIScience). She sees great opportunities to lead the School of Geographical Sciences and Urban Planning to collaborate across campus, within the surrounding community and with industry.
“Location, the heart of geography, provides a mechanism to integrate transdisciplinary knowledge and supports development of nuanced solutions,” she said. “The School is operating at the highest level and I believe by growing ideas we are collectively passionate about I can help build on existing momentum and continue the trajectory of excellence. The School is open for business.”

Their weight reduction potential combined with excellent properties make composites today an outstanding materials for versatile application fields.
Epoxies are favourably used in composites as a basis for high performance materials, offering extraordinary mechanical strength, chemical resistance and low shrinkage. The right crosslinking of epoxy resins is the key challenge for tailored and optimal properties of the resulting duromers in different applications.
Large amounts of products are used as a base amine for manufacturing curing agents for epoxy resin systems. They are also used as a raw material for manufacturing diisocyanates and polyamides. Our products are colourless liquids of low viscosity with a weak amine odour.

Brief Description: EAA 919 mtg - WAG Aero Cubby project
Subject of WAG Aero Cubby project revisited by Mike Thern. Main contact, Terry Hamilton, has been busy with farm harvest, but that is winding down and transfer of project to Chapter 919 could happen in next few months.
Hangar space is available in Rushford. One request by Austin chapter is that they would like to be able to visit and participate in the project.
Further discussion emphasized that welding expertise will be needed. Courses at Minnesota SE Technical College are probably available and Dan Bass mentioned that the EAA typically sponsors welding workshops during winter at Oshkosh. Mike has oxy-acetylene experience with steel and aluminum. Others have family members that are skilled at welding. Estimated cost for “good” TIG welder and torch is $2000. Interested members would get training, then practice and demonstrate proficiency on scraps prior to working on the plane project, itself.

Neutron source from electron acceleration on UT3
We had our preliminary experiment on UT3 laser system at the University of Texas at Austin. UT3 is a 30-TW, 800 nm laser, which operates at repetition rate of 10 Hz. To generate LWFAs, 30fs, ~1J, linearly polarized laser pulses was focused to spot size of 11 μm (FWHM) with peak intensity of 6 ×1018 W/cm2. The experiment run at 30 seconds per shot due to the capability of the turbo pump. A transverse interferometer measured averaged plasma density profile. A magnetic electron spectrometer was placed after the gas jet to analyze energy spectra of magnetically dispersed electrons on each shot. The energy and charge of the electron beam that is suitable for maximizing neutron production will be optimized by controlling plasma density, which in turn was determined by the gas type and density. The basic physics process behind this experiment is utilizing laser-plasma interaction to create relativistic electrons, which will then incident on metal converter and radiate -ray through Bremsstrahlung radiation. High energy -ray (>10 MeV) will activate certain photonuclear reaction and eventually radiate neutrons.
The main beam came from the right side of the chamber and focused on the gas target through a F/12.5 Off Axis Parabola (OAP) with the help of a turning mirror. The gas target was composed of 90% of He and 10% of N2 to provide more electron injection in LWFA. The probe beam that was separate from the main beam before enter the chamber was send into the chamber from another flange. The copper converter was place 5 cm away from the gas jet. A magnetic electron spectrometer consisting of a LANEX screen, a commercial phosphor plate, placed downstream of the target. The LANEX was imaged by a 12-bit CCD camera to acquired instant intensity map of electrons. The electron spectrometer was design and build that are capable of measuring electron energies between 10~50 MeV. Five bubble detectors were deployed around the chamber, which were used to measure the neutron flux. Bubble detectors are composed of little tiny droplets of superheated liquid. Neutron would deposit energy on the bubble detector through elastic collisions. Then the droplets would vaporize and form visible gas bubbles trapped in gel, which is visible with bare eyes. The bubble detector has zero sensitivity on gamma ray and very suitable for this applications. A neutron Time-Of-Flight (n-TOF) was place 2.2m away. It was used to measure the neutron energy distribution. Figure 3 illustrated how n-TOF works. The first part of n-TOF is plastic scintillator, will emit light of certain wavelength after hit by neutrons. The light would then cause photoelectric effect on photon multiplier tube (PMT) and generate electrons, which is then amplified by the tube and generate signal and eventually detected by a fast oscilloscope.
The electron beam generated through LWFA in our experiment had very low divergence, which made an online electron measurement impossible. Before we put in the converter, we took a bunch of shot to analyze the electron beam. The electron energy has a wide distribution from 12 MeV to 50 MeV. The electron energy peak located around 40 MeV.
An isotropic neutron flux was observed. The absolute number of neutron generated in our lab is 2x106 per shot. To get neutron energy distribution, we took 200 shots and accumulate the signal, then used data fit to get the accumulated signal. The actual energy distribution was get by differentiating the polynomial fit. Detecting neutron energy spectrum with low flux is a universal challenge. Because there is no energy sensitive detector for neutrons. The only way one can measure neutron energy is using time of flight method, which require the detector to be set far away to get accurate results. This practice drastically reduces the signal received. In our case, the averaged neutron detected by the n-TOF is close to 1.6.

Fault zone permeability in outcrop is quantified by detailed geologic mapping and by measurements using a minipermeameter. Deformation bands, zones of deformation bands, and slip planes are structural elements associated with successive stages in the evolution of a fault zone in porous sandstones. Deformation bands have a porosity about one order of magnitude less than the surrounding host rock and, on average, a permeability three orders of magnitude less than the surrounding host rock. The intensity of cataclasis and the clay content control the amount of permeability reduction as measured perpendicular to a band. The wall rock in proximity to slip planes can have permeabilities more than seven orders of magnitude less than the pristine sandstone. Capillary pressure wit in deformation bands is estimated to be 10-100 times larger than that in the surrounding host rock. Thus, deformation bands and slip planes can substantially modify fluid flow properties of a reservoir and have potential sealing capabilities with respect to a nonwetting phase, as evident in outcrop exposure.

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has laid a new framework on digital lending, and regulated entities are in the process of complying with the new guidelines by November 30, 2022. The new rules will apply to both the existing digital loan customers and the new customers who will apply for a digital loan in the future.
Before we look at the impact of the new digital lending rules by the RBI on the digital loan market, let’s first understand the difference between the digital and the offline lending process.
Digital Lending Vs Offline Lending
Under the offline lending process, the borrower must visit the lender’s branch and apply for the loan using the physical form. The lender approves the loan after completing the due diligence process. It usually takes lots of time, and the borrowers are usually confined to taking a loan only from lenders available near them. It is often difficult to compare the loan from different lenders in the offline process. On the other hand, digital lending allows a borrower to apply for a loan using the lender’s online platform. The process is often easy, quick, convenient, and paperless.
Offline lenders usually involve banks and NBFCs, whereas the digital lending process may also involve a lending service provider (LSP) that usually provides the digital lending platform.
How Will New Rule Impact Loan Process?
It was noticed that some LSPs were involved in problematic lending practices, such as allowing credit much higher than the borrower’s repayment capacity. Questions were also raised related to the security of borrowers’ data. So, the RBI introduced new rules to streamline the process and ensure better security in the digital lending process. The purpose seeks to eliminate the unethical practices and bring unregulated third parties into its purview.
Under the new digital lending rule, only essential data will be allowed to be collected from the borrower with their prior consent, and then if required, it can be audited later. Now, there would be a requirement for a nodal grievance officer to address the complaints related to digital lending or the fintech company involved in the lending process. The charges involved in the digital lending process must be between the LSP and the bank. These charges cannot be demanded from the borrower. All lending including Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) will now have to be reported to the Credit Information Companies (CIC).
Transparent Digital Lending
The new rule on digital lending will make the entire process more transparent, reliable and trustworthy for borrowers. It will lead to healthy competition among digital lenders. Now, the banks/NBFCs and the LSP are expected to increase their focus on working for a better customer experience to increase the digital lending business.
Soumee Bhatt, General Counsel, Bankbazaar.com, says, “RBI is mandated to regulate credit in India. It has always encouraged innovation in the financial system, products and credit delivery methods while ensuring orderly growth, preserving financing stability and protecting depositors’ and customers’ interests. The digital lending space is garnering attention owing to multiple reasons. To streamline the space, the apex bank has laid down these guidelines to mitigate risks and carve out a path of growth for the digital lending ecosystem in the country.”
Digital lending seeks to create a way for the financial inclusion of those at the bottom of the pyramid in India’s financial system.

How are Canadian students performing in the strategically important subject of mathematics? Any useful answer depends on the measures consulted and the standards against which results are compared. Given the exclusive authority over education assigned to Canada’s provincial legislatures, attention must also be given to the relative performance of provincial as well as other national systems. This study reviews the available test results in search of answers to these questions.
Initial and particular attention is given to results from the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA). Conducted every three years, this is the most extensive and widely accepted measure of academic proficiency among lower secondary school students around the world. Results over the 2003 to 2018 period show a steady decline in Canada’s math scores. Whereas Canada had the fifth highest score among the 37 countries participating in 2003, it occupied twelfth place among the 78 participating jurisdictions in the most recent 2018 assessment. Even so, Canada had the second highest 2018 math score among G7 countries after Japan, and Canadian math scores have remained significantly higher than the OECD average over this fifteen-year period. Internally, PISA scores declined in every province. Declines were steepest in Manitoba, Alberta, and British Columbia respectively, and least severe in Prince Edward Island and Ontario, with the small drop in Quebec’s scores resulting in an essentially flat profile. Against the broader decline, Quebec’s relatively stable scores gave it a growing lead over all other provinces.

Greg Tesch started gardening beans at age 4. Growing up in Chula Vista, CA he developed talent for growing a wide variety of fruits & vegetables. After attaining a Bachelors of Crop Science, specialization in vegetables, from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, he obtained employment in the Salinas Valley. Retail & foodservice produce inspection & buying travels took him south to Queretaro, Mexico and north to Washington state including most western fruit & vegetable production districts in California and the western US.
Tesch Specialties was born December 1989 with the packing & selling of four boxes of tamarillos from one tree in Southern California to a wholesaler on the Los Angeles Wholesale Produce Market. Susan and Greg married in 1990 and grew "horned melons" 1991-94 by "moonlight". Specialty produce handlers in Los Angeles bought most of the crop, the remainder going to other US markets & exported to Japan. Greg started full time produce selling December 1994 in Washington state apple country, & in 1995 moved to Bakersfield to sell garlic.
In July, 1996 Tesch Specialties commenced an independent brokerage & distribution business, selling fresh & peeled garlic & shallots as well as onions, pomegranates, grapes, apples, & persimmons.
An orchard of stonefruit was planted late winter 1998 in Lamont, CA and today, Greg & Susan are continuing to plant & growing new specialty stonefruit varieties including apriums, pluots, white & yellow meat super-sweet nectarines & peaches, south-east of Bakersfield, CA. As well, Greg continues to evaluate and produce specialty garlics for seed sales and gourmet markets. Tesch Specialties utilizes its remaining annual crop lands to plant vine-ripened pole & bush tomatoes for local markets, mixed melons & other popular vegetables for Southern California farmers markets.
Thank you for your interest in obtaining the best eating quality fruits & vegetables available. Providing them is our purpose.

Issue 52, April 2021
April was a busy month of media attention to climate change or global warming around the world. At the global level, coverage increased 9% from March 2021. Media coverage of climate change in April 2021 compared to April 2020 – when the world’s news outlets were largely focused on the emergent COVID-19 pandemic in a finite news hole – is at higher levels just about everywhere: globally, the levels are about double that from a year ago. Figure 1 shows trends in newspaper media coverage at the global scale – organized into seven geographical regions around the world – from January 2004 through April 2021.
While these increases are found consistently at the regional and country-level assessment, there is a notable exception in India. Across coverage in The Indian Express, The Hindu, Hindustan Times, and Times of India – with a national focus on the rapid spread of COVID-19 across the country – there has been a notable 32% decrease from March 2021 (yet still a 45% increase from April 2020).
Globally in April 2021, radio coverage of climate change or global warming increased 33% from March 2021, while also increasing 6% across international wires services. Regionally, compared to the previous month coverage was up in Europe (+5%), North America (+13%), Oceania (+21%), Africa (+32%), the Middle East (+37%) and Latin America (+48%). At the country level, United States (US) print coverage increased 24% and television coverage was up 46% from the previous month. Meanwhile, compared to the previous month coverage rose in Finland (+3%), Spain (+5%), Canada (+7%), the United Kingdom (UK) (+8%), Norway (+22%), New Zealand (+25%), Australia (+27%), Denmark (+28%) and Russia (+62%) in April 2021. Coverage was down in Sweden (-9%) and Germany (-18%) in addition to India (mentioned above) in April 2021 from March 2021.
With this month’s monitoring and analysis we are delighted to add a new country profile in Finland, focusing on the two print sources Helsingin Sanomat and Ilta-Sanomat. Thanks to the work of new Media and Climate Change Observatory (MeCCO) team members Jari Lyytimäki and Erkki Mervaala at the Finnish Environment Institute and University of Helsinki, we now track media attention in these sources with the search terms ‘ilmastonmuutos’ or ‘ilmaston lämpeneminen’.
Also, thanks to the work of ongoing MeCCO team members Rogelio Fernández Reyes and Isidro Jiménez-Gomez, we are now monitoring a new print source in Algeria (El Watan) in French with the search terms ‘changement climatique’ or ‘réchauffement climatique’. We also have begun monitoring new print sources in Egypt (Al Masry Al-Youm), Saudi Arabia (Al Riyadh), Iraq (Al Sabah) and Lebanon (Annahar) with the Arabic search terms
"تغير المناخ" or "الاحتباس الحراري"
We now monitor 127 sources (across newspapers, TV and radio) in 59 countries and in 13 languages.
To begin, April was a month where several prominent political and economic themed media stories about climate change or global warming pervaded the airwaves, broadcasts and newsprint. For example, in the United States (US) there was abundant media attention on the Biden administration’s infrastructure plan – with numerous connections made to confronting climate change.
For example, writing in the New York Times journalists Brad Plumer and Nadja Popovich noted, “If America is dominated by car culture and the call of the open road, there is a big reason for that: Over the past 65 years, the United States has spent nearly $10 trillion in public funds on highways and roads, and just a quarter of that on subways, buses and passenger rail. But President Biden’s $2 trillion infrastructure plan, unveiled this week, represents one of the most ambitious efforts yet to challenge the centrality of the automobile in American life, by proposing to tilt federal spending far more toward public transportation and coax more people out of their cars. Experts say that transformation is necessary to tackle climate change, but could prove extremely difficult in practice…Transportation now accounts for one-third of America’s planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions, with most of that from hundreds of millions of gasoline-burning cars and S.U.V.s. And, while Mr. Biden is proposing $174 billion to promote cleaner electric vehicles, experts have said that helping Americans drive less will be crucial to meeting the administration’s climate goals”.
As the month of April unfolded, many media accounts focused on an open letter from 310 major corporations – from Adobe Inc. to Zurich Insurance group with others like Facebook and Philip Morris in between – that called on the

For 2 decades, Zambia’s mining sector has experienced significant foreign interest and investment driven mainly by the privatization of state-owned Zambia Consolidated Copper Mines (“ZCCM”), a low taxation environment and low political interference. Zambia is in possession of some of the world’s highest-grade copper deposits.
Zambia is known for its copper, but it is also a great gold producer with a number of active mines. It is a good country for anyone interested in mining in Africa, particularly because a lot of potential gold deposits are yet to be explored while at the same time the country has enjoyed a stable political system for a long period of time.
Rockside Mining Limited (RM) is a company based in Zambia whose core businesses are engaging in mining mineral resources. RML mines copper, gold, iron, cobalt, zinc, manganese, platinum, diamonds, emeralds, tantalite and titanium. Our talent of experienced geologists in mining and gold exploration, coupled with an experienced management team plays a big part in the resource industry.

OH Megamasers (OHMs) generally appear in luminous infrared regions i.e. merging galaxies. In this study we assume that OHMs may not be represented by their association with star formation solely, because of the possibility of a compact AGN source in the merging galaxies. In fact, previously classified starburst galaxies where OHMs are found are now optically observed as AGN. OHMs may also serve as a reasonable criterion for the evolutionary stage of the merger. This project focuses on observations from a multi-frequency analysis of merging regions with known OHMs. Optically, Hα and BVRI filters provided an environmental perspective of the "masing" components. In the radio, 18-cm data was used to determine the structure and position of the OHM. We studied the source IIZw096 and compared our results with two familiar OHM sources. We were able to look at each source at high radio resolutions and compare the structure and classification of each.

Abstract : Humanoid robots being underactuated, they need to interact with their environment to move. When optimizing trajectories, the contact forces must therefore be taken into account. In this paper, we first highlight an issue encountered when using parametrized functions in the presence of equality constraints which need to be satisfied continuously over a time interval. We then propose a parametrization of contact forces and a formulation of the constraints which allow to write a tractable optimization program whose solution verifies at any instant all the constraints where those forces appear. We finish by exemplifying the approach with preliminary results obtained on a HRP-2 humanoid robot.

Spirituality and HRV
by Cassie Steele

How Spirituality can Boost HRV
Research is constantly being carried out into ways to increase our HRV, in an aim to aid those experiencing stress related conditions such as anxiety and depression. There is an important link between stress and having a low HRV. When one’s ‘fight or flight response’ is constantly evoked, balance is skewed between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, and our physical and mental health are affected. Interestingly, spirituality is showing great promise in terms of promoting greater balance and a higher HRV. In this post, we look at how spirituality can raise our HRV naturally, bringing many additional benefits to our lives.
How Can We Raise our HRV Naturally?
Study after study has shown us the importance of maintaining a high HRV through natural means such as yoga, Tai Chi, and mindfulness meditation (to name just a few practices). These ancient Eastern therapies have various features in common – above all, a strong mindfulness component.
Studies have shown that the essence of mindfulness – keeping the mind ‘in the here and now’ – can reduce stress, anxiety and symptoms of depression, as well as increase our HRV. Heart rate biofeedback, and self-help physical activity have also been found to be effective.
Technology can also help, through biofeedback and/or dedicated apps which allow us to measure andtrack our HRV and stress levels from home.
Time in Nature and HRV
The pursuit of spirituality does not have to be active; even more passive pursuits such as spending time in nature can enhance spirituality. Verdant forests and parks or water features such as lakes and oceans lower our cortisol (stress hormone) levels. For best-selling author, Eckhart Tolle, “Whenever you bring your attention to anything natural, anything that has come into existence without human intervention, you step out of the prison of conceptualized thinking and, to some extent, participate in the state of connectedness with Being in which everything natural still exists.”
What Role can Spirituality Play in Boosting HRV?
It is interesting to note that many Eastern practices stress the importance of the connection between mind, body, and spirit. Recent studies have shown that people who make room for spirituality in their lives are happier and enjoy a greater sense of support, than those who don’t. Researchers postulate that the sense of community provided by religion helps people feel less isolated, though spirituality is wider in scope than religion and can include simply believing in a powerful force that unites all living things.
A 2006 study by researchers at UCLA looked into the effect that spirituality can have on HRV. Participants to the study were women who had been diagnosed with breast cancer seven years previously. The researchers looked into the effect of different coping mechanisms (including distraction, denial, acceptance, meditation, or humor), finding that faith and spirituality were key factors in psychological wellbeing and a healthy HRV.
As noted by one researcher, “The women with a strong sense of faith had significantly more variable heart rates than those who reported less spiritual well-being.” Meditation and prayer in particular helped women face the stress brought on by their diagnosis.
Stress, anxiety, and depression are far from being mere sources of discomfort, fear, or sadness. They have powerful effects on our physical health and are linked to everything from obesity to Type II diabetes. Spirituality can play an important role in fostering better mental health and greater heart rate variability. Whether prayer, meditation or time spent in nature help bring you to a more spiritual place, it is important to make room for these important health-boosting activities.

Preservation of archaeological remains under water
Together with other wooden archaeological remains, shipwrecks are incorporated in the marine carbon cycle where wood material are totally decomposed by biological, physical and biochemical processes.
Generally, wood are fast degraded by a large group of marine borers in saline waters. But in other environments such as in brackish water, fresh water and sediment, the processes are much slower and quite different. Here historical wrecks are able to survive for hundreds and even thousands of years. In the Baltic Sea, more than 20.000 well preserved wrecks and other submerged archaeological sites of historic importance is known. The warship Vasa is one of the few wrecks that has been excavated, conserved and displayed for public.
UNESCOs convention on the protection of the submerged cultural heritage stated in 2001 that shipwreck of historical significance should be preserved in-situ as a first option. Lacking economic resources for a full-scale excavation, conservation, display and maintenance are some one of the main reasons behind this recommendation.
Research focus on microbial degradation
During the last 20 years our research has focussed on the microbial degradation process. A huge number of archaeological waterlogged wood samples from marine and terrestrial environments around Europe have been studied by different microscope techniques, and decay patterns observed have been related to different types of wood degrading fungi and bacteria.
If is found that wood species, age of exposure, access to oxygen and the local environment dictates the type and degree of microbial decay. Waterlogged and near anaerobic environment promotes decay by the so-called “erosion bacteria”. These bacteria degrade wood very slowly and are not able to degrade the lignin rich parts which results in an incomplete degradation.
This explains why archaeological finds might look seemingly well preserved despite thousands of years of burial. Erosion bacteria decay are found in sediments and all type of water worldwide. Within a joint EU Bacpoles project, the bacteria were cultivated, isolated and identified by molecular biological methods (DNA) and are now believed to consist of bacteria within the Flavo and Cytophaga consortia.
Our previous EU-projects on protection of shipwreck
How climate change may affect the spread of the aggressive shipworm Teredo navalis into the Baltic was in focus in the EU WreckProtect project. Advanced GIS models were developed in order to predict the spread. The project also described and pointed out microbial degradation, water turbulence, and sediment transport as some of the key factor that will led to slow or fast degradation of wreck in a brackish environment like in the Baltic Sea. Methods for physical protection of the wreck in situ were evaluated and described. In EU SASMAP project, the work continues and tools for mapping, diagnosing, excavating and securing underwater and coastal archaeological sites are in focus. This project will end in September 2015.
In order to understand the decay processes and their interaction with the environment, long-term and short term laboratory experiments as well as field experiments is an important part of our research. With access to advanced equipped laboratory facilities as well as access to the novel research vessel, our ability to perform unique interdisciplinary and cross disciplinary research in cooperation with national and international researchers are unique.

Originally the Stahlmann Brewery, but built as the Cave Brewery in 1855 was sold the the Jacob Schmidt and family in 1900. They purchased the old Stahlmann Brewery because the North Star Brewery which Jacob Schmidt had half interest in burned to the ground and a new location was needed. In 1901 it became the Jacob Schmidt Brewing Company. They built a new facility and malt house along side the existing structures. In 1955, the plant was sold to the Pfeiffer Brewing Company of Detroit, but continued to use the very popular Schmidt name and logo. In 1972, G. Heilemann Brewing Company of LaCrosse, Wisconsin brought the brewery. I believe the plant closed briefly in 1987 when Heilemann's was purchased by an Australian company. The plant did reopen in 1991 when the Minnesota Brewing Company moved in and produced the strangely named beer labeled 'Pig's Eye'. If however you are a local, Pig's Eye is a very familiar name as it has quite a history in the early days of St Paul. [I believe they wanted to name St Paul 'Pig's Eye' at one point]
The plant struggled in the late 1990's financially. To help keep the plant alive, it sold part of the plant to Gopher State Ethanol and it became the nations first urban ethanol processing plant. Those of you in the Ethanol business are familiar with the foul oder it can produce. As you can image, the neighborhood was full of complaints. In reality, having an ethanol process plant in a neighborhood turn into a very bad idea. In 2002, beer production unfortunately ended at the Schmidt Brewery. The bitter smell continued to stink up the neighborhood. In May of 2004, the ethanol side of things closed for good, not due to the complaints and many court battles that lasted for years. It was closed do to financial reasoning.
Now the plant sits vacant. Though in doing some research tonight, I'm reading the plant may have been sold for 7.5 million and parts of the plant will be reconstructed in to art studio's and perhaps more. It would be nice to see the castle like structure that has stood in St Paul for 150 years to live on versus being torn down.

Sanaya Irani a.k.a Gunjan of 'Miley Jab Hum Tum" was going through a very difficult phase as her voice had been affected due to a throat infection. Consequently, she was having problems shooting for her scenes. The entire unit has started pulling leg whenever she attempts to deliver her dialogues. This has prompted her to take the vow of silence until she gets her normal voice back again.
Sanya spoke to us in a hoarse voice. She said, “I am suffering from cold and cough and my throat has been choked since the last 3 days. Naturally, I am experiencing problems during my shoots. I am now doing the scenes where I have to keep quiet and look emotional without having to speak a word. This is because I seem to have a weird sound coming out of me whenever I try to speak. I have now decided to keep my mouth shut until I get my voice back. Otherwise it sounds funny"
“Two days ago I was shooting a scene with Arjun Bijlani (Mayank). I just had to be silent and express my feelings through gestures. It was really very difficult as I could not speak at all. Arjun, just laughed out loud as I was whispering the words without trying to speak up. It was a funny experience but frustrating too as I was not able to say anything." signs off the actor.
And now, after three days, she is feeling quite well and is finally able to speak in a hoarse voice. She says, “Every one made fun of me and now I am just waiting to get well soon."
We wish you a speedy recovery!

Brainerd competed against 12 mock trial teams, where all the teams participated in three separate trials with the top two winning teams competing in the championship trial.
BHS Mock Trial Coach Jan Carlson said Monday the team won one trial and lost two, which were close. Carlson said the trials are based on a 300-point scale and Brainerd was within 10 points of its competition.
"The team performed really well and the scores were close," Carlson said. "The kids poured their hearts into the competition and you can't ask for more. We also had great support from their parents making the trip to watch.
"In our third trial the presiding judge was David Lillehaug who is on the Minnesota Supreme Court."
Carlson said all nine students on the team are new to mock trial with the exception to one student, BHS senior Stefanie Maas. who competed at her former high school Watertown-Mayer High School before moving into the Brainerd School District.
Carlson said Maas and Luke Norquist both won state awards for their work at the state tournament. Norquist earned the award for being the best lawyer and Maas won for being the best witness.
On the BHS mock trial team are:
• Seniors Maas, played the plaintiff and defendant; Norquist, Alyssa Neistadt and Zoey Heitkotter, played lawyers;
• Juniors Josiah Wood and Oksana Goncharenko, played witnesses;
• Sophomores Jaden Wagoner and Sayali Blowers, played witnesses, and Mari Hermerding, was the time keeper.
Coordinated by the Minnesota State Bar Association, the state's high school mock trial program introduces students to the American legal system by creating a fictional case each year that teams across the state work from and develop arguments for.
The case teams competed against at the state tournament was a civil case, where Chris Jackson, a senior and student council president at John Madison High School, was suing the principal at the high school, for infringing her right to free speech.

The m/44 pistol was intended to be a lower-cost replacement for the Lahti L35 pistol for the Finnish Defense Forces, but production delays resulted in the first batch of 25 examples not being completed until after the end of the Continuation War. Treaties limited Finland’s right to conduct arms development after the war, and the project was never taken farther than that first batch.
Mechanically, the pistol is a simple blowback 9x19mm pistol, with a single stack 8-round magazine, single action trigger, and external hammer. The barrel locking system is very reminiscent of the Ruby and Browning fixed barrel pistols, and the fire control parts are contained in a removable unit like a Tokarev. Production was done at VKT, the Finnish state rifle factory in 1944.
