The Ka-25 (NATO name “Hormone”) is a naval helicopter produced by Kamov.
The Hormone first took flight in 1963 and was officially introduced in 1972.
The Ka-25 was developed from it’s predecessor, the Ka-20 “Harp”.
The primary role the Ka-25 was created for is anti-submarine warfare. The need for anti-submarine helicopters was high in the 1950s on both the Soviet and US sides of the cold war.
The compact design of the Ka-20 was seen as an ideal springboard and certainly much faster than designing something from scratch. It’s compactness was crucial to the requirement for a ship-borne helicopter that would operate from the deck.
Early demonstrators lacked many of the key elements such as corrosion resistance, but were needed quickly for proof-of-concept purposes. The first complete prototypes were equipped with many advancements for the time, such as anti-corrosion, aluminum alloy rotor blades, automated blade folding and, hydraulic controls and alcohol de-icing.
This was a twin-engine helicopter, which is a common design for overwater operations. These were free-turbine units that had electrically de-iced inlets and plain lateral exhausts with no efforts to mask their infrared signature. They both drove the main gearbox directly as well as the cooling system for said gearbox.
For the time the materials were also quite advanced. It used a stressed-skin duralumin skin with rivets that were flush. There was also limited use of bonded honeycomb sandwich panels.
Notably, as with almost all Kamov helicopters, the Ka-25 used a coaxial twin rotor design, which means that it did not require an anti-torque rotor. Instead, the tri-fin tail boom acts as a stabilizer when dipping sonar equipment or during autorotation.
While production only ran from 1965-1977, the total number of units built is estimated at an impressive 460.

I think everyone really likes to see trees and enjoys their special beauty. I am no exception.
A good many years ago, an older friend told me as winter lingered on and on, “I am so longing to see the trees with leaves on again. They are so much prettier with leaves on.” I felt sad for her that she wasn’t able to enjoy the stark beauty of the leafless trees. I enjoy both stages of the trees.
I don’t recall whether I told her how much I like to see the skeleton structure of the winter/spring trees. I like to try to draw them. Their intricate form intrigues me.
Of course, I still enjoy them when winter finally lets go and the leaves are formed on the trees. I took the picture of this tree before the leaves started to bud out. I was thinking that some day I will try to draw it.
But for now, I’m busy digging weeds out of the flower beds.

The loan was facilitated by J & A Beare and the Stretton Society following a four year search for the perfect violin
Norwegian violinist Vilde Frang will be loaned the 1734 ‘Rode’ Guarneri ’del Gesù’ violin. The project was facilitated by Steven Smith of violin dealers J & A Beare and Stephan Jansen, co-founder of the Stretton Society, a private philanthropic club that supports classical music and musicians through various stringed instruments and platforms.
Frang commented: ’Words cannot describe what a milestone the discovery of the ‘Rode’ Guarneri has been for me. Having had the privilege to explore an incredible selection of instruments recommended by J & A Beare in search of the right instrument, the ‘Rode’ happens to be the violin of my dreams. Thanks to them, and to the incredible generosity of the Stretton Society who have secured the long-term loan, I feel truly blessed that I am able to keep on playing on it! My joy and gratitude are expanding every day.’
The violin has an illustrious history, having been played in the past by celebrated virtuosi such as Pierre Rode, Norbert Brainin and Kyung Wha Chung.
Norwegian-born Vilde Frang has studied with Kolya Blacher at Musikhochschule Hamburg and Ana Chumachenco at the Kronberg Academy. She debuted as a soloist at the age of 12 with the Oslo Philarmonic Orchestra and went on to win a scholarship at the Annie-Sophie Mutter Foundation. Her recent and forthcoming solo engagements include performances with Berlin Philarmonic, Chamber Orchestra of Europe, London Symphony, Concertgebouw Orchestra, Chicago Symphony, Los Angeles Philarmonic, Israel Philarmonic, Sydney Symphony.. Frang has won numerous awards including the Grand Prix du Disque, Edison Klassiek Award, Deutsche Schallplattenpreis, Diapason d’Or and Gramophone Award.

The chair of Internet Australia, Dr Paul Brooks, has said there is no real need to keep encryption-busting capabilities of the proposed Assistance and Access Bill secret, and that any capabilities should be made public, as is currently done for phone tapping equipment.
"The fact that a particular capability that is built into the equipment is being used in a particular instance, that should be kept secret, but the fact the equipment has the capability at all, that is not secret," Brooks told the Joint Parliamentary Committee on Intelligence and Security on Friday.
"The aim of this whole thing is ultimately to catch criminals and terrorists that are using software systems for nefarious purposes -- if there is a capability in that system for that activity to be monitored or messages to be seen, the net effect of having that capability known is effectively that the dumb criminals will continue to use the software anyway, and they may get caught.
"And if the purposes of the secrecy is to enable criminals to be caught, the fact that that capability is public means the smart criminals won't use that system, that system will be denied to them, and they will need to find another way."
According to Brooks, while good will come from having a capability known and prevent criminals using services due a concern of possible monitoring, on the flip side, law-abiding persons and organisations will need to also stop using a service, or take other precautions, if the service is being used thanks to, for instance, its end-to-end encryption capabilities.
Under the proposed law, Australian government agencies would be able to issue three kinds of notices:
- Technical Assistance Notices (TAN), which are compulsory notices for a communication provider to use an interception capability they already have;
- Technical Capability Notices (TCN), which are compulsory notices for a communication provider to build a new interception capability, so that it can meet subsequent Technical Assistance Notices; and
- Technical Assistance Requests (TAR), which have been described by experts as the most dangerous of all.
Read: Australian encryption Bill raises bar for outrageous legislation: Comms Alliance
Brooks pointed out that the sorts of communication services that the government is likely to target -- WhatsApp, Signal, Facebook, iMessage -- could be bypassed by an organisation creating its own internal service.
"The reality that law-enforcement grapples with is that the ability to encrypt information is itself public, the algorithms are public, the ways of generating keys are public," he said.
"Any organisation, for good or bad, can create their own software relatively simply and communicate using it and are unlikely to respond or even be known about to receive some sort of notice."
Echoing concerns from local security vendor Senetas, which said earlier this month that the Bill endangers AU$3 billion worth of exports and would render security guarantees meaningless, Internet Australia said it created an "air of doubt" about whether Australian manufacturers had been subjected to a notice and alluded to the federal government's own concerns about Huawei which lead to it being banned from 5G deployments.
"This is the very first time that this sort of interception and access capability has been requested of devices. All other forms of telecommunications law -- for lawful interception, for stored data warrant, all that sort of stuff -- applies to communications providers, licensed carriers, and communication service providers," Brooks said.
"This, for the first time, puts obligations and enforcement directly to the equipment manufacturers."
Internet Australia additionally called for a central agency within government to hand requests or notice to industry, particularly to help out smaller service providers, mirroring the functionality of the Communications Access Coordinator (CAC) when dealing with data retention requests.
"If it comes through the CAC, they've got a greater degree of confidence that it has been scrutinised and determined to be lawful [and] has authority, where they don't need to go through a whole lot of pile of checks and balances to try to verify whether an incoming request from an organisation or person they don't know is actually legitimate, or it is coming from a scammer or a criminal impersonating someone from an agency trying to get data for nefarious purposes," he said.
See: OAIC calls for sunset clause on encryption-busting Bill and warns of privacy risks
Brooks also added that a central agency would remove the possibility of conflicting requests from different agencies, as the secrecy provisions in the Bill prevent service providers from speaking about requests received.
"So if a software manufacturer or an equipment manufacturer were to get a request from one agency to make a certain change in how their equipment functions... and they make that change, or they are about to make that change for that agency, and a second agency comes in with a second request to effectively do something ignorant of what the first agency had asked for, that then either changes or counteracts what the first agency did, and the net result of that is confusion for industry and potential to overwrite the changes

MitiS has been perfecting his special breed of piano-driven melodic bass since 2010. Brought up as a Classical pianist in Pennsylvania, MitiS, aka Joseph Torre performs a live set that combines his production chops and piano roots to get the absolute best of both worlds. He’s an artist in the purest sense, pouring his soul into every release. And as his vision of the world becomes more refined, so does his writing. Torre says, "I just want to share good music, have it be through performance or a small, simple social setting. Music is what I do, I wouldn't change that for anything. Have it be a Chopin piece playing in a hall, or a bass kickin the club's ass, I'm down for either." He may be down for either, but really excels at a strong combination of both. "I find myself unable to stop making phat basses, heavy beats,and throwing melodies into the mix… I can't think of anything else more appetizing; It's the new age Classical." Many a fan has told Torre that they can recognize a MitiS song by its first note, the supreme compliment for any musician.Follow on Bandsintown

A few weeks later, I found that there wasn't even a lift kit placed on the truck. So, I immediately called Dustin, and he asked me to have another Chevrolet dealership look at it to confirm it did not have a lift kit. When I gathered all the paper work and returned to the dealership May 1st, Justin presented me with a paper that showed they installed "lifted shocks." So now the salesman and dealership has deceived me. There is no way I would had paid $7K for wheels, tires, shocks, and running boards. I have had several dealerships and truck experts look at the truck, and they all state that the shocks they have installed on the truck do NOT add any lift. I even had the truck laser measured and it is the exact same same height as the standard Silverado 4X4

Selena Gomez was born on July 22, 1992 to a Mexican American father and half Italian mother. Named after popular singer Selena, she was raised alone by her mother in Grand Prairie, Texas when her parents divorced. Her mother Mandy later remarried when Selena was 14.
Little Selena grew up watching her mother prepare for performances. At 7, she got a role in "Barney and Friends" and later in "Spy Kids 3-D; Game Over". Her talent was discovered by Disney Channel through nationwide search. Her first stint on the channel was a guest star on "The Suite Life of Zack and Cody" and "Hannah Montana". Blessed with potential, Selena was given her own show as one of the three kid wizards on "Wizards of Waverly Place".
Besides pursuing career in television, Selena scored minor roles in "Another Cinderella Story" and "Horton Hears a Who!". Her career in Disney got the boost as fellow teenage star Demi Lovato also gained popularity. Together, the best friends starred in a TV movie called "Princess Protection Program". Due to the success of her TV series, Disney ordered the production of "Wizards of Waverly Place: The Movie".
Since then, Selena enjoyed the title of Disney darling. Known for acting, Selena also thrives on singing. She recorded for a Disneymania album and "Another Cinderella Story" soundtrack. Hollywood Records then presented her with recording contract in 2008. She struck a close friendship with the members of Forever the Sickest Kids and made a collaboration on a song titled "Whoa Oh!".
Selena then formed a music band and called them The Scene. The first album "Kiss & Tell" was released in September 209 with its first single titled "Naturally". The album peaked at No. 9 on Billboard 200 and was certified Platinum by RIAA.
Selena's first major breakout into the movie world was as one of the titular characters in "Ramone and Beezus". Movie offers kept rolling since then, including "Monte Carlo" and "13 Reasons Why". At the same time, Selena announced her last year on "Wizards of Waverly Place".
Selena is also known for her philanthropic works such as being the ambassador for UNICEF. She has done numerous efforts to provide clean water for Ghana and encouraged children to be environmentally-friendly through Disney's Friends for Change.
Business-wise, Selena developed a production house called July Moon Productions and launched a clothing line called Dream Out Loud. Since she

Fifty Years of Wildland Fire Science in Canada
This resource was submitted by the Climate Risk Institute for theCanAdapt Climate Change Adaptation Community of Practice.
This article is an abridged version of the original text “Fifty years of wildland fire science in Canada” published in Canadian Journal of Forest Research, 51(2), under theCC BY 4.0 license in February 2021 © Coogan et al. Please note that references have been removed. For more detail, full references, and to quote text please use the paper available for download on the right.
Celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Canadian Journal of Forest Research, this report reflects on the progress accomplished in select areas of Canadian wildland fire science over the past half century. The article highlights key developments and contributions in the creation of the Canadian Forest Fire Danger Rating System; the relationships between wildland fire and weather, climate, and climate change; fire ecology; operational decision support; and wildland fire management. We also discuss the evolution of wildland fire management in Banff National Park as a case study. We conclude by discussing some possible directions in future Canadian wildlandfire research including the further evaluation offire severity measurements and effects; the efficacy of fuel management treatments; climate change effects and mitigation; further refinement of models pertaining tofire risk analysis,fire behaviour, andfire weather; and the integration of forest management and ecological restoration with wildlandfire risk reduction. Throughout the paper, we reference many contributions published in theCanadian Journal of Forest Research, which has been at the forefront of international wildlandfire science.

How about one copy of chef-server on a NAS/SAN mounted volume
but booted on 3 different servers? Have you seen this kind of config
before? Any locking issues, etc…

Hmm, you mean different DBs on a single Postgres cluster or the same actual DB? The latter won’t work unless you also sync the bookshelf data and that might be tricky across a WAN. Using something like WAL-E for async replication might be more amenable to that kind of setup.

Before our second visit to the MBRS we encountered some local fishermen, who told us of crabs they’d caught with pitted and damaged carapaces. Hmmmmm, we thought. A potential symptom of acidification! But how could the crabs have been exposed to low pH waters like those predicted to occur 50 to 100 years into the future?
A day of detective work followed at the site of one of Straddie’s mysterious forest springs, which injects acid spring water onto the local seagrass meadows. Some water chemistry analyses and clever calculations by our GS students indicated that this site could be the source of the acidified seawater. And so we had discovered a wonderful field site – a natural simulation of our future oceans.
Of course, this meant that there was no need to deploy our portable Free Ocean Carbon Enrichment system to inject carbon dioxide into local waters. Instead, we spent time in the mangrove forest, tracing the path of the acidified water out to the shore and designing our new experiments.
Our goal was to first determine if the seagrasses growing near the spring were altered. We started by testing their value as food for local grazers….starting with the rabbitfish, an important seagrass herbivore also know as the “happy moment” fish. (It’s a cute fish, but like everything else here, it is venomous.)

The Chattanooga Chapter has a great write up on what freeze-thaw is and why it's so bad. Freeze-thaw is why Blankets is closed this time of year. Please understand that we get more traffic in one day then most trails see in a month so we have to be very careful with the trails right now as opening them too soon will cause months worth of damage to the trails and only force us to keep them close longer.
From SORBA Chattanooga
Between abundant precipitation and very cold temperatures, off road enthusiasts have been largely kept off their bikes for weeks. After a long cold and wet month many mountain bikers are just itching to ride. The arrival of warmer weather means that many want to head out on to the trails right away.
Most mountain bikers understand riding a trail when wet and muddy can cause rutting, puddling and other forms of trail degradation. However, many of these same users don’t understand that trails are at even greater risk during the freeze-thaw process.
What is the freeze-thaw process?
During wet winter months, when the trial becomes saturated and temperatures drop, ice forms in soil voids. Through the night temperatures drop and the freezing process pushes soil grains apart reducing particle cohesion and soil strength and making the soil more erodible. During the day temperatures increase and the trail surface thaws.
Even though the surface has thawed, the ground is still frozen just below the surface. To make matters worse, the frozen ground prevents precipitation from sinking in any further. This means the thawed layer at the surface is absolutely saturated with water so it is very intolerant of any disturbance. Come riding along and you’ll cut through the thawed layer right down to the frozen ground. The thawed layer will end up with ruts from the tire tracks, which will persist even when the soil dries out.

E.T. gets a conference call
When David Anderson and Dan Werthimer decided to enlist Everyman in the search for ET, they thought in terms of a few hundred thousand recruits.
Since their SETI@home project began last May, however, more than 1 million people from nearly every country have tapped ET's party line - using home, office, and school computers, plus special software, to sort through cosmic radio signals for potential signs of intelligent life.
The raw data comes from the Arecibo radiotelescope in Puerto Rico. It's cut into small chunks and distributed via the Internet, as is the free software.
No one has yet found a tell-tale signal, the University of California at Berkeley scientists say. But the response has set records. "SETI@home is now the largest computation ever done on this planet," Dr. Werthimer notes. To date, the effort has logged more than 51,000 years of computing time, leading Dr. Anderson to conclude that a similar approach could be applied to other computer-intensive scientific problems.

Ball Mill Crushing by tube-mills were first introduced into the crushing departments of cyanide plants when it was found that for crushing finer than 30-mesh other types of crushing machinery were not efficient. In order to crush with one pass, these mills were made 18 to 22 ft. (5.5 to 6.7 m.) in length. Pebbles were used as a grinding medium and the mills were lined with either silex blocks...
In a smaller installation, the crushing plant should be designed with the minimum number of required equipment items. Usually a crushing plant which can process 300 to 500 metric tons per operating day will consist of a single primary crusher, a single screen, a single secondary cone crusher, and associated conveyor belts.

Most people exercise a lack of control when it comes to eating after a whole day of fasting during navratras. But, people must realise that this is the worst they can do to themselves. So, we bring to you a few diet tips for navratras
Here are a few tips to remain fit, fine and healthy during navratras. Hope you adhere to these tips and stay healthy through those 9 days of fasting.
- In the place of puri or pakodas (fried items) made from kuttu atta (buckwheat flour), one must go for kuttu ki roti. One can also prepare some idli from the kuttu atta (buckwheat flour) and dosa from the samak rice.
- One must make use of refined or olive oil as a substitute of ghee.
- Go for skimmed or low fat milk and curd. Add cucumber (kheera), bottle gourd (lauki) or tomato to it.
- Drink a lot of fluids such as juices, vegetable soups, lassi, milkshakes and herbal tea. Besides giving you sufficient energy to keep you active all day long, they also keep a balance of the fluid levels and cleanse the harmful pollutant from your body.
- People who have a desire to lose weight during narvtaras can consume following foods during fast:
- Raita of bottle gourd (lauki)
- Kuttu (buckwheat) roti and fasting rice (samak rice) must be eaten but should not be deep fried.
- Raita of pumpkin (kaddu)
- Avoid sweet potato (skaharkand), kachalu, colocacia (arbi) and sabudana (sago).
- Fruit chat made with papaya, pear (nashpati), apple, and some amount of potato.
- If one suffers from acidity and heartburn problems, be sure to not remain empty stomach for long hours. Eat tiny portions every few hours daily. Cold milk, cream, curd and bananas are effective remedies for acidity.
- Diabetics need to be extra careful of feast and fasting syndrome during this Navratras. They must avoid long breaks in between their meals. Eat some food every few hours so that it is satisfying and yet does not push the blood glucose levels up too fast. You may eat lauki ka raita, almonds as snacks, stuffed kuttu roti, and pumpkin. In fact you may also have fruits at regular intervals such as papaya, berries and pears.
8. Avoid fried foods and take more of curd, milkshakes, fresh fruits and so on. Fried foods produce a lot of burning sensation in the body. So fruits and curd act as cooling agents. Make sure to go for healthy cooking methods such as roasting, boiling, steaming and grilling.
9. Substitute fried potato chat with adequately boiled potato chat and kheer with fruit, preferably mixed fruit curd.
10. In case of pain in the body or colic (acute abdominal pain), put a few drops of peppermint oil in plain lukewarm water and drink it.
Navratras is the time to eat a whole lot of healthy foods. The perfect fasting diet must contain proteins, carbohydrates, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals.

Smooth jazz is a genre of music that grew out of jazz fusion and is influenced by R&B, funk, rock, and pop music styles (separately, or, in any combination).
Modern derivatives of the genre include the more-recent New Adult Contemporary format of broadcast radio. "Smooth jazz" has been successful as a radio format; however, in 2007, the popularity of the format began to slide. Consequently, it was abandoned by several high-profile radio stations across the U.S.A., perhaps most notably by WQCD (now WFAN-FM) in New York and KKSF in San Francisco. Many industry insiders have speculated that the smooth jazz format may die out, particularly with many of industry giant Clear Channel Communications' stations dropping the genre. Critics of the company, however, blame Clear Channel for the format's decline, citing too much repetition of a sharply-reduced number of tracks on Clear Channel-owned stations that alienated many listeners. Despite the format's demise on commercial radio, a growing number of non-commercial stations have taken up the music. In addition, smooth jazz concerts, recording sales—as well as increased smooth jazz offerings on the Internet—continue to show strong fan support for the genre.
Famous quotes containing the words smooth and/or jazz:
“We are born with luck
which is to say with gold in our mouth.
As new and smooth as a grape,
as pure as a pond in Alaska,
as good as the stem of a green bean
we are born and that ought to be enough....”
—Anne Sexton (19281974)
“The further jazz moves away from the stark blue continuum and the collective realities of Afro-American and American life, the more it moves into academic concert-hall lifelessness, which can be replicated by any middle class showing off its music lessons.”
—Imamu Amiri Baraka (b. 1934)

Programmable power control can enable user-defined power-up, power-down outlet sequences to ensure proper operation of interdependent IT systems, prevent inrush-related overloads as network equipment is first energized or lock-out power to unused PDU outlets to prevent powering of unauthorized network hardware
Outlets are factory programmed for sequential turn-on at 250 millisecond intervals when the PDU is first energized to prevent inrush-related equipment interaction on startup
Lighted display with scroll-button offers numeric power consumption data in amps for all 3 loading banks, IP-address and self-identification
Built-in SNMP/ethernet interface reports voltage, frequency and PDU loading information via network or secure web browser interface
Supports logging of all power events with user specified alarm and notification thresholds for load levels and site voltage conditions
Supports in-rack environmental and security monitoring for advanced configurations with optional ENVIROSENSE temperature / humidity probe and rack access notification for up to 4 SRSWITCH door sensors or other user-supplied contact-closure sensors

The Volkswagen group creates a European company for its battery activity
Volkswagen creates a European company (Société Européenne) to consolidate its activities throughout the battery value chain, from the processing of raw materials to the development of a unified Volkswagen battery, including the management of European gigafactories.
The company’s scope will include new business models based on reusing used car batteries and recycling the valuable raw materials they contain. The Group is thus creating efficient and sustainable structures for the growing battery business.
As part of its NEW AUTO strategy, the Volkswagen Group aims to become the world’s leading manufacturer of electric vehicles. To this end, it is expanding its battery-related activities and making it one of its core competencies.
We want to provide powerful, inexpensive and durable vehicle batteries to our customers, which means we need to be active at all stages of the battery value chain that are critical to success. We are now consolidating our power in Salzgitter, with the aim of encouraging innovation and securing the support of the best partners for our new business in the future. We already have a strong battery team in Salzgitter consisting of 500 employees from 24 countries – and we continue to strengthen this team at management level.
—Thomas Schmall, Technology Board Member at Volkswagen AG and CEO of Volkswagen Group Components
Schmall is responsible for batteries, charging and energy as well as the in-house production of components.
Under the leadership of battery boss Frank Blome, Soonho Ahn will take a leading role in the development of battery cells. After appointments at LG and Samsung, Ahn’s most recent role was as Global Head of Battery Development at Apple. Kai Alexander Müller from Barclays Investment Bank, London will also move to Salzgitter, where he will bring his financial background in the capital market and equity research.
Volkswagen plans to establish six gigafactories in Europe to meet the growing demand for battery cells within the Group. Production of battery cells in Salzgitter is expected to start in 2025. The Lower Saxony gigafactory will produce unified battery cells for the volume segment of the Volkswagen Group.
In its initial phase, the plant should have an annual capacity of 20 GWh; it is planned to double later to reach 40 GWh. Based on the current planning cycle, the Volkswagen Group is investing heavily in the development of battery cell production in Salzgitter. A total of EUR 2 billion was spent on the construction and operation of the Salzgitter gigafactory until production started.
The production of battery cells in Salzgitter is expected to provide jobs for more than 2,500 people in the future. These employees will mainly be employees of the Salzgitter engine plant, who will be retrained in order to take on these new roles. Some of these personnel bring expertise – in planning or logistics, for example – which will be useful for the construction of the plant. Where appropriate, this transfer of know-how will be supplemented by new skills, for example by recruiting external staff.
The Salzgitter site in Lower Saxony will bring together development, planning and production control under one roof, thus becoming the battery center for the Volkswagen Group. There are plans to build additional gigafactories at sites in Spain and Eastern Europe. The exact locations of gigafactories 3 and 4 are expected to be decided in the first half of 2022. Volkswagen intends to open two more battery cell factories in Europe by 2030.
Along with the development of these five gigafactories by the new European company, Swedish start-up Northvolt AB, in which Volkswagen has a stake of around 20%, will build a new plant in Skellefteå, in northern Sweden. This will produce battery cells for the premium automotive segment from 2023. Northvolt has already partnered with the Volkswagen Group in the area of premium battery cells.
Volkswagen is industrializing battery technology at all levels of the value chain. This week the company entered into two strategic partnerships with Umicore and 24M as well as a long-term supply agreement with Vulcan Energy Resources.
The aim of the partnerships is to help manufacture and supply raw materials as well as optimize the manufacture of battery cells in the planned gigafactories. The partnerships are designed to strengthen know-how in battery technology and optimize cost management.
Over the next five years, the Group will invest around 52 billion euros in the development and production of new electric vehicles. The NEW AUTO strategy also covers the development of new areas of activity in batteries, recharging and energy. In addition, the Group is creating dedicated technological platforms that allow inter-brand synergies, including the modular MEB electrical drive matrix and an SSP platform, scheduled for launch in 2026.

The Instrumentation and Control Fundamentals Handbook was developed to assist nuclear facility operating contractors provide operators, maintenance personnel, and the technical staff with the necessary fundamentals training to ensure a basic understanding of instrumentation and control systems. The handbook includes information on temperature, pressure, flow, and level detection systems; position indication systems; process control systems; and radiation detection principles. This information will provide personnel with an understanding of the basic operation of various types of DOE nuclear facility instrumentation and control systems. Key Words: Training Material, Temperature Detection, Pressure Detection, Level Detection, Flow Detection, Position Indication, Radiation Detection, Process Control
The Instrumentation and Control handbook consists of seven modules that are contained in two volumes. The following is a brief description of the information presented in each module of the handbook. Volume 1 of 2 Module 1 - Temperature Detectors This module describes the construction, operation, and failure modes for various types of temperature detectors and indication circuits. Module 2 - Pressure Detectors This module describes the construction, operation, and failure modes for various types of pressure detectors and indication circuits. Module 3 - Level Detectors This module describes the construction, operation, and failure modes for various types of level detectors and indication circuits. Module 4 - Flow Detectors This module describes the construction, operation, and failure modes for various types of flow detectors and indication circuits. Module 5 - Position Indicators This module describes the construction, operation, and failure modes for various types of position indicators and control circuits. Volume 2 of 2 Module 6 - Radiation Detectors This module describes the principles of radiation detection, detector operation, circuit operation, and specific radiation detector applications. Module 7 - Principles of Control Systems This module describes the principles of operation for control systems used in evaluating and regulating changing conditions in a process. The information contained in this handbook is by no means all encompassing. An attempt to present the entire subject of instrumentation and control would be impractical. However, the Instrumentation and Control handbook does present enough information to provide the reader with a fundamental knowledge level sufficient to understand the advanced theoretical concepts presented in other subject areas, and to better understand basic system and equipment operations.

The City of Mableton Faces Lawsuit Challenging Its Constitutionality
The newly formed City of Mableton is already facing legal troubles just days after its first city council meeting.
The city has been hit with a lawsuit filed in Cobb County Superior Court, claiming that the legislation leading to the creation of the city was unconstitutional.
The suit, filed by five residents and supported by a legal expert, alleges that House Bill 839, which put the question of Mableton cityhood before voters, violated the single subject rule of Georgia’s constitution.
According to the attorney representing the plaintiffs, Alan Lightcap, the lawsuit seeks declaratory judgment to declare the bill creating the City of Mableton as unconstitutional.
He argues that when the bill was presented as a ballot to the voters, it contained two separate subjects.
The first subject was whether or not the City of Mableton should be created, while the second subject concerned the establishment of a compute community improvement district.
Legal expert Chris Annul Wits, who specializes in state constitutional law, explains that the single subject rule is a significant requirement in Georgia.
Although some may view it as a technicality, it holds strong legal grounds.
Annul Wits believes that the lawsuit appears fairly strong, considering the bill’s passage through the House, the Senate, and ultimately being signed by Governor Brian Kemp.
The lawsuit poses a challenge for the City of Mableton, as it is still in its early stages and has not yet received any tax revenue.
Mableton Mayor Michael Owen expresses concern about the financial burden it places on the city, stating that they don’t currently have the funds to defend themselves.
However, Mayor Owen is determined to fight the lawsuit and states that he would prefer to spend the city’s money on delivering essential services rather than on legal battles.
The lawsuit has put the City of Mableton in a difficult position, but Mayor Owen remains committed to moving forward and building the city.
Despite the legal obstacles, he aims to stay focused on the city’s development plans and ensure the delivery of services to its residents.
As the lawsuit unfolds, it remains to be seen how the City of Mableton will navigate this legal challenge and continue its journey as a newly established municipality.

The ND16 Filter for Osmo+ and Zenmuse Z3 from DJI reduces light reaching the camera’s sensor by the equivalent of 4 stops.
The ND16 filter passes through 1/16 of the incoming light. This is equal to a 4-stop filter strength.
Put more simply, the ND (Neutral Density) filter helps avoid overexposed photos.
The ND4 filter allows 1/4 of incoming light through, equal to a 2-stop filter.
The ND8 filter allows 1/8 of incoming light through, equal to a 3-stop filter.
The ND16 filter allows 1/16 of incoming light through, equal to a 4-stop filter.

MUMBAI: Many companies could see their tax liability going up and cash flows getting affected, as the government has capped the rate of deduction under accelerated depreciation. While manufacturing companies would obviously be hit, firms that depend heavily on technology could also see substantial impact.
The government has set the rate for depreciation at 40% a year. Until now, many companies were depreciating assets at around 60%, said industry
trackers.While the government's move is part of its efforts to reduce taxation
loss in areas where sops were provided earlier, the step has led many companies to redo taxation planning.
“While this (capping of the rate) will help achieve the government's objective of increasing the effective corporate tax rate, the 40% limit will impact cash flows of companies claiming accelerated depreciation, especially those in the wind and solar sector, thereby affecting their financial models,“ said Rajesh H Gandhi, partner, tax, Deloitte
Haskins & Sells.
While the change beginning April 1, 2017 would hurt manufacturing companies the most, many in other sectors, including banking and information technology, could also see the impact.
The earlier accelerated depreciation rate of up to 60% meant that computer sy stems could be depreciated and written off faster, tax experts said. That is not possible under the new rules. Many companies change computers and upgrade IT systems at short intervals and the change in rules means they will have to invest
in new systems before the residual value of the existing ones becomes zero.
“With technological adems such as computer ca vancements, items such as computer category can phase out and become obsolete faster and the earlier 60% depreciation rate was a good step. Potentially, now the depreciation rate at 40% doesn't seem to take cognisance of the real economic life of these items,“ said Sameer Gupta, partner and leader of financial services
, tax and regulatory, at EY.
Apart from computers, computer systems and technology, many companies that had invested in solar and pollution control equipment could also see an impact on their cash flows.
“The change in the depreciation rate is more towards the government's policy of reducing the corporate tax rate and phasing out of exemptions and incentives.Though the tax benefit on account of depreciation is more of a timing issues, the reduction in the actual depreciation would mean that the taxation on many companies could go up in the short-medium term.“ said Amit Maheshwari, partner at Ashok Maheshwary & Associates.
“Depreciation on computers and computer software, pollution-control equip ment, energy-saving device, etc. is currently allowed at higher rates so the change will impact most corporates though ultimately this will be a timing issue,“ said Gandhi of Deloitte Haskins & Sells.

generalized Hamming weight, weight hierarchy, linear code, difference sequence, finite projective geometry
The weight hierarchy of a [n,k;q] linear code C over Fq is the sequence (d1,⋯,dr,⋯,dk), where dr is the smallest support weight of an r-dimensional subcode of C. In this paper, by using the finite projective geometry method, we research a class of weight hierarchy of linear codes with dimension 5. We first find some new pre-conditions of this class. Then we divide its weight hierarchies into six subclasses, and research one subclass to determine nearly all the weight hierarchies of this subclass of weight hierarchies of linear codes with dimension 5.

Penelope is in Heaven with her Flint River Ranch dog food!
My black lab, Penelope, grew up on Flint River Ranch Puppy and Adult Dog Food. When we left the States (4yrs ago) for our home country of Canada, I came to the realization that she would likely never get her favorite again. A couple of months ago, she started acting like she didn’t like her food any more (I know, this from a lab!!) I tried a different food and she ate it, but not with the gusto she had always enjoyed her Flint River Ranch with. I started to worry as she was dropping weight…she would eat anything off our plate with vigor, so I just thought that it was the food. It just so happened that I was able to fan-dangle some friends to accept an 80 lb order for us and my daughter drove 16 hrs (one way) to go pick it up (yes, she took advantage of the opportunity to visit friends). When she got back and brought the Flint River Ranch food out of her trunk she was almost attacked Penelope immediately started tearing the box apart and proceeded to tear into the bag before we could stop her. To say the least, she was in heaven :). Turns out that she was actually sick with an infection and would have likely come back to what she had been eating eventually, but I sometimes present her with a choice between the previous 2 foods and her Flint River Ranch food and guess which one she goes for :). We have always enjoyed watching her tear the boxes open and then jump up and down and act like this stuff is filet Mignon. I just want to say thank you for making a quality food that tastes great. I am sure that she will not be happy when her Flint River Ranch food is all gone, but at least she will get a good couple of months back on it to help her get her weight back on. We really wish you had a provider in Canada and/or shipping was not astronomically impossible. Please enjoy the picture of Penelope getting into the box and bag

Thanks to the iconic quad Leica camera and an ultra-sensitive 40MP sensor, Huawei P30 Pro is able to capture photos and videos even in extreme low-light conditions. The improved Night mode allows the camera to capture enough light to deliver much more accurate and clearer pictures. The ultra wide 20MP lens accommodates even very large objects and groups, and lets you create macro photos even at close distances. In addition, you can rely on 10x hybrid zoom to zoom in on distant objects. Your images can be viewed on the impressive 6.47” OLED display, while the powerful 4200mAh battery gives you considerable running time.

Asia’s obsession with food should not be a taboo for discussion
The go-go-go lifestyle of economic aspiration, not westernisation, is to blame for the prevalence of eating disorders
At a recent doctor’s visit, my endocrinologist admonished me for gaining 0.9kg. “You’re not obese” — I’m not even close — “but it’s something to watch”, he told me.
I left the appointment equal parts indignant and unsure. It wasn’t the first time I’d encountered this level of frankness about my body or appearance since moving to Asia. When I was pregnant in Hong Kong, my Chinese teacher confirmed that I must be having a boy. “Boys give mothers beauty, girls take it away,” she said. Years later, my property agent in Singapore was relieved to hear I was pregnant with my second child: “I thought you were just getting fat!”
This hyperattentiveness to appearances comes alongside a cultural love affair with food. Singaporeans often joke that they start planning lunch as soon as breakfast is over, and “Have you eaten?” is a standard way of saying hello. As one put it, the aunties urging you to eat more are the first ones to tell you you’re fat.
Such competing social messages would be difficult to balance in the best of times. Add the isolation and anxiety of the Covid-19 era, and it’s little wonder that eating disorders are a rising concern. Yet these conditions are still poorly understood, and people who suffer often believe they don’t need help, which makes diagnosis and proper treatment elusive. Despite all the straight-talk about beauty, conversations about eating disorders, and mental health in general, remain taboo in many parts of Asia. In this moment of ultimate social disconnection, such gaps can become a matter of life or death.
For decades, the medical community believed that eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia were phenomena affecting primarily white, wealthy, educated young women. The global spread was viewed as an unfortunate consequence of westernisation, the commercial assault of McDonald’s French fries wrapped up with the cultural assault of Kate Moss.
One social media craze that rippled across China in 2016, for example, challenged people to cover their waists with a vertical piece of A4 paper.
More recent research suggests this view is not quite accurate. A better way to think about this troubling trend is through the lens of development. Ascribing value to excessive thinness is the result of industrialisation and urbanisation — stages the West reached earlier than Asia — rather than the wholesale export of Western culture, according to a 2015 review in the Journal of Eating Disorders.
In other words, the go-go-go lifestyle of economic aspiration — one that keeps track of everything, from hours at the office and bonuses to daily steps taken and photos liked — is to blame. If anything, symptoms associated with eating disorders can be more severe in South Korea, China and Thailand than in the US, the authors noted. One social media craze that rippled across China in 2016, for example, challenged people to cover their waists with a vertical piece of A4 paper, which is little more than 20cm wide.
In this light, our screen-bound era of Instagram escapism has worrisome ingredients. The influencer du jour might be quick to post photos of her turmeric-tinged juices, but certainly not the bag of chips she scarfed while scrambling to meet a deadline. Even those sweaty-chic workout selfies might be misleading. Meitu, a Chinese app that lets you do everything from reshaping your jawline to thinning your nose, has 115-million monthly active users. Beauty apps and other products owned by the eponymous company have been activated on 2.2-billion unique devices globally.
The dangers of curated fantasy lives were present before Covid-19, but can be destabilising without encountering fallible humans, in the flesh, on a regular basis.
More damaging than social media, however, can be family dynamics, according to Nishta Geetha Thevaraja, a senior psychologist at Singapore General Hospital. While researchers have debated the extent of genetics vs cultural triggers, many doctors agree that families play at least some role in the onset of eating disorders.
In Asia, where young unmarried people often live with their parents, this can become a point of vulnerability. Roughly 27% of Singaporean households are families whose youngest member is 16 or older. During the city-state’s two-month lockdown last year, some sufferers were trapped in a hive of dysfunction — a threat to any fragile effort at healing.
It is difficult to say how prevalent these illnesses have become in Singapore, given the lack of research. One study published late last year, citing this deficit, found that 63% of participants screened positive for eating disorders or were at high risk

This isnt really a question so much, since it seems to have corrected itself. I switched from from the Incredible yesterday. I installed all of my previous apps via appbrain. Over the course of a couple of hours I managed to install all of the apps I had on the Incredible, a little over 200 in all. For the next few hours my X was problematic. The app list was very choppy in its scrolling, actually freezing sometimes. I hit the add app button while in the car dock and my phone developed a lag time of around 30 seconds for each button press for the next half hour. Then magically there came a point when I was scrolling through the app list that everything started working correctly again. The only side effect that seems to still be lingering is the voice command window: Some times it takes ~30 seconds to launch.

Project EVO X: Part 1 – Suspension
By Mike Kojima
What does the guy that has the Ultimate Streetcar do for a daily driver? Cheston Chiu is no stranger to building some really sick iron. His super clean, built to the hilt twin turbo 350Z is no show car. The Z placed second, missing first place by less than a point in Sport Compact Car Magazine’s Ultimate Street Car Contest and repeated the performance when the USCC torch was handed to Modified Magazine after SCC’s demise.
Since the Z is a bit extreme to be a daily driver, Cheston wanted something nice but not as boring as his Maxima beater. The car still had to have some potential for some nice modifications but nothing that would render the car impractical as a daily driver. After considering several different options, Cheston settled on a 2010 Mitsubishi EVO X. The biggest reason was the twin clutch TC-SST transmission.
The TC-SST transmission is an advanced transmission. It is actually a computer controlled manual transmission with electronically controlled twin clutches. What is cool about this system is that the next gear can be pre-selected for lightning fast seamless shifts–faster than humanly possible. The computer can control the shifting and clutch like an automatic transmission or you can manually shift via steering wheel mounted paddles. The clutches lock up solidly and there is no power-sucking, slipping, slush-box torque converter to waste power, nor are there inefficient power-dissipating planetary gears like a conventional automatic.
The TC-SST transmission has the comfort and the convenience of an automatic transmission with the efficiency and directness of a manual transmission. Although manual control is nice, the computer actually does a pretty good job of shifting. In sport mode, it hits the downshifts perfectly and holds gears when driving in the twisties just like you would yourself. The electronics rip off perfectly rev matched downshifts better than you can. After driving the car hard we feel that it might do pretty good if you let it do the shifting! Cheston liked the idea of a super automatic!
Cheston also liked many of the EVO X’s other advanced driver’s aids such as Super All Wheel control that vectors torque around the chassis to help steer and stabilize the car as it does its thing, ABS brakes with electronic force distribution and active stability control that makes for a fast and stress free drive without compromising performance. Unlike many other performance cars, the electronic aids on the EVO X are relatively transparent to the driver, just the thing for a serious performance enthusiast.
|We had a pretty tough job in our quest to improve the EVO’s suspension. The stock MR hardware features genuine Eibach springs with Bilstien struts calibrated to them–nice!
Cheston’s goal with project EVO X is rather complex. While ultimate performance is the goal, since the car will remain Cheston’s daily driver, the car cannot simply be built for all out track day performance. It must be both fast and livable in daily use–a difficult challenge to be sure.

This paper proposes a novel transmission power-control method for power-saving in consensus problem. Focused consensus problem is an average-consensus where all agents try to assemble in the same position. Thus, in the process of consensus, the distance among agents becomes closer. Consequently, there is the gap between the maximum communication coverage and the distance to the farthest neighbor agent, which results in the waste of transmission power. This paper focuses on this fact and proposes the power-control method based on the position of neighbors. To keep the quality of control, we further propose the transmission power-control. The computer simulations showed that the proposed power saving can save the power consumption up to 1/5 but keep almost the same control quality as the system without power-saving.

Undercover Christmas escape
by Terri Reed*
Published: November 28, 2023
Series: U.S. Marshals Series
Genre: Contemporary Inspirational Romance, Love Inspired
Setting: Dallas, Present Day
What happens when a U.S. Marshal and DEA agent team up to bring down a drug cartel, only to find that the Marshal's long-lost sister is connected to the bad guys?
Sera Morales is a tough U.S. Marshal who's spent several months working with DEA agent Duncan O'Brien to bring down the Dallas-based Los Campeones cartel. Their methods of operation differ: Sera is impulsive, and Duncan is more methodical, which leads to disagreements and some bickering. Underlying the tension, however, is an attraction that neither wants to address.
When the team discovers that Sera's sister is involved with the criminals, Sera wants nothing more than to find out why her sister left home as a teenager and what she's been doing for the last twenty years. Duncan aims to bring down the criminals and keep his partner safe.
Like all Love Inspired Suspense books, Reed's story combines suspense and romance, with some Christian themes woven throughout. I enjoyed the book and liked the main characters, Sera and Duncan. Because Love Inspired stories are just over 200 pages, some aspects of this book felt underdeveloped, such as Duncan's character and motivation. Unfortunately, the falling in love also gets glossed over, with the relationship between Sera and Duncan going from simple attraction to much more too quickly. I wish there could have been a better balance between the suspense and romance.
Overall, Undercover Christmas Escape is a good, easy read that entertains.
(Note: I received a copy from the publisher via NetGalley and this is my honest opinion.)

They say breakfast is the most essential meal of the day, and when it comes to eating eggs, that may be especially true for children.
According to research, eggs are a crucial component of young children's diet and can help them grow taller.
An investigation was carried out by researchers at Washington University on newborns in Ecuador who were between the ages of six and nine months. Over a six-month period, some randomly chosen participants were instructed to add one egg to their diet every day, while others were assigned to a control group that did not consume any eggs.
It was eventually discovered that infants who regularly ate eggs had a 47% lower risk of stunting, or a delayed increase in height. Also, 74% had a lower likelihood of being underweight than kids in the control group.
“We were surprised by just how effective this intervention proved to be,” said lead researcher Lora Iannotti in a statement. “The size of the effect was 0.63 compared to the 0.39 global average.”
It should be noted that participants in the test group were restricted in how much sugar they could consume, which could have influenced the findings as well. Yet, given that eggs not only provide a complete meal but also frequently come in safe packaging, this study offers a solution to malnutrition in locations without access to adequate nutrition.
“Our study carefully monitored allergic reactions to eggs, yet no incidents were observed or reported by caregivers during the weekly home visits,” adds Iannotti. “Eggs seem to be a viable and recommended source of nutrition for children in developing countries.”
Researchers published their findings in the journal Pediatrics.
Other benefits of eggs for children are:
Eggs are also a great source of choline, a nutrient that is important for brain development and function. Choline helps build the membranes of brain cells and supports the production of neurotransmitters that are essential for learning and memory.
Eggs can be a good addition to a child's diet for weight management. They are high-protein, low-carbohydrate food that can help keep children feeling full for longer periods of time. This can lead to a reduction in overall calorie intake and help prevent overeating.
Eggs contain lutein and zeaxanthin, two antioxidants that are important for eye health. Consuming eggs can help ensure that children are getting enough of these important nutrients to support their eye health.

An efficient continuous wave (CW) laser-diode-pumped Nd-doped Ca(3)(NbGa)(2-x)Ga(3)O(12) (CNGG) laser operating at 935 nm is demonstrated by using a simple linear cavity for the first time to our knowledge. Output power up to 1.12 W is obtained, corresponding to a slope efficiency of 7.1% and an optical-to-optical efficiency of 5.7%. The laser operates with the fundamental transverse mode when the output power is as high as 800 mW. This laser provides a potential light source for differential absorption lidar in water vapor detection.
[Show abstract][Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: We propose a novel technique for pumping neodymium vanadate crystal in 4F
3/2 → 4I
9/2 transition with polarized diode light. With a theoretical model on quasi-three-level neodymium vanadate lasers including excited state absorption and energy transfer upconversion effects, the improvement on the laser performance of polarized pumping is evaluated. A maximum output power of 4.8 W in Nd:GdVO4 912 nm laser is achieved with the incident pump power of 21.8 W, the maximum output power increases about 85% and the slope efficiency is enhanced to 1.5 times towards the unpolarized pumping under the same condition. This technique is especially suitable for quasi-three-level systems end pumped by high-brightness fiber coupled diode sources associated with short neodymium vanadate crystals.
[Show abstract][Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Continuous-wave (CW) and passively Q-switching laser performance of the Yb:CNGG and Yb:CLNGG disordered garnet crystals are compared. CW output powers of 6.3 and 7.5 W are generated from the Yb:CNGG and Yb:CLNGG lasers, with slope efficiencies measured to be 63 and 74 %, respectively. In passively Q-switched operation, the average output power reaches 2.0 and 3.1 W, with slope efficiencies of 56 and 65 %, for the Yb:CNGG and Yb:CLNGG lasers, respectively. Laser pulses of 9.5 ns in duration are generated with the two Yb lasers, with the highest pulse energy and peak power amounting to 166.7 μJ and 17.5 kW for the Yb:CNGG laser, and 133.0 μJ and 14.0 kW for the Yb:CLNGG laser. In respects of efficient laser operation and power scaling, the Yb:CLNGG proves to be advantageous over Yb:CNGG, whereas the Yb:CNGG is superior to Yb:CLNGG in energy storage capacity.

[Show abstract][Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Quasi-three-level solid-state lasers using trivalent rare earth ions are efficient sources in the near- and mid-infrared spectral
regions. Their unique properties arise from special energy level structures in different host materials and highly efficient
laser operation became possible with the availability of highly efficient high-brightness pump sources like laser diodes.
This work will give an overview of quasi-three-level solid-state lasers emitting in the wavelength range 1–5μm. Recent research
and advances in spectroscopic and laser results will be presented. In comparison to four-level lasers such as e.g. Nd3+ lasers at 1.06μm, quasi-three-level lasers show a much stronger influence of temperature on laser performance, mainly due
to the thermally induced changes in the spectroscopic properties of the laser medium. Nevertheless, highly efficient lasers
can be realized by direct diode pumping with high spatial and spectral brightness laser diodes. The population dynamics in
the manifolds also play an important role and ion concentrations are used to minimize or maximize energy-transfer effects.
These general topics will be addressed in Sect.1, in which basic aspects of quasi-three-level lasers and their description
are discussed. Section2 deals with the general energy-level structure of trivalent rare earths in hosts, from which the most
interesting ions and their transitions can be derived. These ions, Nd3+, Yb3+, Er3+, Tm3+ and Ho3+, are investigated in detail in Sect.3 in order of their emission wavelengths, focusing on their spectral properties and
laser results in different laser architectures and host media. In Sect.4 the work is finally summarized.

What is ONganic?
We are all aware of the harmful pesticides and chemicals used in farming that can easily reach our bodies through the vegetables we intake. Though the minerals and nutrients from veggies are vital for our health, how do we make sure they are free of chemicals? One solution – organic farming! The significant task is to promote organic farming in such a way that small-scale farmers would be able to supply to a larger population of urban consumers. ONganic is an Agri Social Enterprise that makes this possible.
ONganic’s vision is to develop organic, sustainable, resilient, and self-reliant communities in rural India and demonstrate that organic farming is a viable profession for smallholder farmers. ONganic Foods is an Organic NPOP/EU/USDA certified company which has achieved various awards. They work with more than five Farmer Producer Companies (FPCs) comprising of about 500-1000 smallholder farmers each in West Bengal for organic and natural produce. The enterprise basically works in East and North East India and is incubated by IIM Calcutta Innovation Park.
ONganic provides an integrated and holistic solution, assisting farmers right from sowing up to market access. ONganic farmers enjoy the benefits of reduced costs, premium prices, buyback, etc. in addition to improved soil quality, biodiversity, and access to healthy organic food. ONganic also supports farmer’s collective in setting up and managing organic input supply chain and provides weather and crop advisory. Currently, they work with 2000+ farmers in West Bengal and helps to double their incomes. ONganic farmers grow premium varieties of organic specialty rice – black rice, red rice, brown rice, aromatic rice, etc. which has always had high international demand.
Check out ONganic‘s company page on KillerLaunch.com.
Check out the website for ONganic here.
Planting the seed of thought
The CEO of ONganic Foods, Ekta Jaju, is an entrepreneurship graduate from ISB, Hyderabad who co-founded the successful social enterprises ONergy solar and Switch ON. Ekta Jaju had always been extremely passionate about building a sustainable, resilient community in Rural India. According to Ekta, finding a reliable market is the biggest challenge that all small farmers face. Making a viable enterprise model that helps to find stable markets could significantly impact the FPCs. ONganic was the result of their determination to find that model.
Past challenges and future visions
Ekta Jaju says that the enterprise has faced unexpected challenges in agriculture, food processing, and marketing. Moreover, Ekta was from none of these backgrounds. Right when they started, managing pest problems in organic cereals was a big challenge. They visited all the food processing institutes in the country to improve knowledge and expertise. ONganic started as a B2C company, but they soon realized that to move large volumes by FPCs, a B2B model is better suited. Now they have become pioneers in all these areas as they soar heights.
Going forward, ONganic will utilize its strength in Agri supply chain management to support FPOs. They plan to create a central online marketplace to bridge the gap between FPCs and the Agri Industry. This platform will provide all relevant information regarding various Agri commodities available with FPCs – quality, price, volume, variety, and region – across East and North East India so buyers can make an informed purchase on its platform. ONganic will also provide additional services to the FPCs and Agri Industry.
The new services to the Agri industry will be :
- Logistic support and price negotiation
- Price trends of essential commodities
- FPC ratings
- Credit support
The services offered to the FPCs :
- Training & Capacity building for understanding markets, pricing, quality, aggregation, etc
- Govt schemes and credit linkage
ONganic has been growing nearly twice every year, and the number of farmers working with them has doubled. They are on the right path to becoming the preferred choice for bulk products from East & North East India.
Milestones and Partnerships
According to Ekta Jaju, ONganic’s first milestone was being able to identify their product bucket, which had high volume and high-value exotic product mix. It could fetch the farmers a better income and had a good demand and low supply. ONganic has multiple partners in sales, processing, and marketing. They work with more than 20 Organic companies in the B2B space and have also partnered with some processing companies for specialized production. ONganic also has a partnership with many International companies for Export marketing in Europe.
Onganic – Pushing through the current scenario
As a result of COVID-19 and the ensuing lockdown, markets, and transportation services are disrupted. Farmers and FPOs across the state are facing challenges to sell their Rabi & Zaid crops. On the other hand, the

Passengers of Indian Railways may catch Metro train at the Baiyyappanahalli station if all goes well as per the plans of Legislative Council chairperson D H Shankaramurthy.
Shankaramurthy, who heads the Joint Legislature Committee on Railways, told Deccan Herald that he would convene a meeting of stakeholders to deliberate on the measures to provide Railway-Metro connectivity at Baiyyappanahalli.
Chief Secretary to government, members of South Western Railway Board (SWR), officials from Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited, Urban Development Department, Infrastructure Development and other related agencies will attend the meeting.
The chairperson said the immediate need was to ask SWR provide stoppages for more trains at Baiyyappanahalli since some trains coming to City do not go beyond the Cantonment station.
“Next step is to provide passenger amenities at Baiyyappanahalli and construction of a ramp to provide connectivity between the railway and metro stations. The project neither costs more nor requires alteration in train schedules,” Murthy said.
BMRCL Managing Director N Sivasailam said with additional infrastructure in place, Baiyyappanahalli can be developed as a terminal from where at least eight new trains can originate to different destinations including Mumbai.
As the Metro Phase II connects Baiyyappanahalli with Whitefield, the upgrading of the terminal would also help lot of people from the business community, he added.
However, the Indian Railways appear to have a different plan. Anil Kumar Agarwal, Divisional Railway Manager, SWR, said the immediate priority was to develop Baiyyappanahalli terminal as a maintenance facility. “We have created infrastructure for pit line maintenance with the funds allotted. Upgrading the terminal capacity would take time,” Agarwal said.
He added that stoppages for more trains could be provided at the junction depending on public demand and sale of tickets. “If there is a necessity for more train stoppages, we will write to the Railway Board. They will take the final call,” he said.
However, a former member of the Railway Board said there was an urgent need to exploit the capacity of Baiyyappanahalli station. Even with the present infrastructure, four to six trains can be stationed at the terminal.
The SWR had earlier proposed for developing the station as the third terminal for Bangalore city, as both the City and Yeshwantpur railway stations are handling more
passenger traffic than their capacity.
“It seems there is lack of leadership to understand the urgency of providing connectivity between railways and Namma Metro. We need somebody to bell the cat here,” he added.

Lady Gaga to Star in Tiffany’s First Super Bowl Commercial
Lady Gaga will be doubling up at the Super Bowl on Sunday as both the halftime show performer and the star of a new Tiffany & Co.’s ad, which will debut during the big game.
The pop star will feature in the American jewelry company’s first Super Bowl campaign to launch the upcoming HardWear collection.
Announcing her new link to the brand in a statement, the “Poker Face” singer says, “In New York, you’re born knowing that Tiffany is the best and that it is where the magic happens. The brand is definitive and iconic, yet continues to push and evolve with the times. To me, Tiffany represents timeless American jewelry.”
Tiffany chief brand officer Caroline Naggiar adds, “For more than 180 years, the world’s chicest women have chosen Tiffany jewelry as a powerful expression of who they are. This campaign celebrates Tiffany’s rich legacy and the modernity of Tiffany style. Lady Gaga, and her originality, creativity and courage, reflects the spirit of this collection.”
Top photographer David Sims filmed Gaga for the new Tiffany ad.
The company has produced the Super Bowl’s Vince Lombardi Trophy for the past 50 years, but it has never advertised during the game.
The new HardWear collection was among the last design projects overseen by outgoing Tiffany’s creative director Francesca Amfitheatrof. It will be available in April, but pre-orders will be taken after the new ad airs during the Super Bowl on Sunday.
Designer Reed Krakoff will take over from Amfitheatrof from February 1.
Meanwhile, Gaga is putting the finishing touches to her halftime spectacular. Details are under wraps but old pal Tony Bennett will reportedly introduce the pop star.

More photos at Tokyo DisneySea with Panasonic Lumix G1
I’ve had a Panasonic Lumix G1 since January and I’ve discovered that its a very handy piece of gear that easy to carry, especially when traveling. On a recent trip I relied on my Leica M8 for the majority of my photos but the longest lens in my traveling M8 kit is the Summilux 75mm f/1.4 lens which with the M8’s crop factor of 1.3 is equivalent to 100mm in 35mm format.
On this particular day I also carried the G1 with its optional image stabilized 45-200mm f/4-5.6 zoom lens which has an effective range of 90-400mm. Not only is the G1 a tiny DSLR, this lens is very compact, so much so that I was able to carry both the M8 with a Carl Zeiss Biogon 21mm f/2.8 lens and the G1 and lens in the same bag, the small Billingham Hadley.
The G1 saved the day as there was no way I could get close to the show to take closeups of the action. The show photos ranged from 107 -334mm effective range. Although the lens isn’t that fast the image stabilization managed even to steady the lens extended to 334mm. (And as I noted in other recent postings, some photos to 422mm.)
The show photos in this posting were all shot in jpeg. Handheld. No tripod.

The Chattanooga leadership prayer breakfast Tuesday at the convention center offered benefits to Christians and others who were able to hobnob, to see and be seen at a yearly event of notables that drew 1,500 people to an early breakfast. The chief benefit was a vigorous apologia for Christianity by Mark Whitacre, a man convicted in a F$9 million fraud against his employer, Archer Daniels Midland, during which time he worked in the highest offices of the company as a mole for the FBI, grubbing about for a price-fixing scandal.
Amid the sausage, egg, potatoes, fruit, coffee and the pleasant conversation (I sat with Bob Benjamin of T-Mate and Eric Pelton the accountant) before and after the main event, it occurred to me just how thoroughly we have been denatured by national economy here in Chattanooga.
We live in a city that cannot have its own head about its future. Its operating assumptions today are a restructuring of reality pounded into shape since the Progressive era of the late 1800s (the rise of the regulatory state) or, at the latest, the administration of Franklin Roosevelt.
A shock that gives us to sharpen our gaze upon horizons past is the attack of newspaper columnist David Cook on standardized testing in Hamilton County schools. On April 24 he riveted newspaper readers, local social media sites, the school family networks and the homeschooling mom Yahoo groups with an essay, “TCAP stole your kid.”
On Tuesday he followed through with details about the origins of this mechanical arm of the schooling establishment, this welding machine and processor that tidies away the wispy unaccountables of the human soul that creep into teaching and comprise real learning among students.
Leadership vs. the free market
For local economy to succeed, it will need more of a free market. Local economy, as people such as Internet marking adviser Jon Moss of Moss Media Labs will tell you, is about relationships, be they via the Internet, social networking, advertising or attending Chamber of Commerce events. Relationships imply freedom of action, an absence of coercion, an unimpeded reach of a service provider toward the customer whom he serves and whose lot he improves. Law and administration are vertical. Relationships are horizontal.
Now, the prayer breakfast has as its aim only the best and truest: “To encourage morality and ethics in the lives of all people in positions of leadership in business, in government, and in the professions.” School Supt. Rick Smith read from 1 and 2nd Corinthians. An executive from Kenco logistics led in a prayer for national and state leaders (officials). After another reading from the Word of God, obstetrician and gynecologist Dr. Patricia McLelland prayed for city and county officials and thanked God for their desire to serve. She implored our sovereign for His protection amid “hard decisions” and asked that opposition “melt away before them” as they weigh the public’s needs.‡
It is understood that God ordains every person holding public office to hold that office; it is not disputed that He makes kings and nations rise and fall, and that officeholders have a duty to fear Him and to not offend His laws. It is understood that Christian citizens and residents owe duty and fealty to the office which in scripture is described as bearing the sword, and to give to Caesar’s what is Caesar’s (taxes, let’s say).
But the free market is jealous.
It is jealous of modern civil government for having shrunk its domains, which parallel those jurisdictions of family and church (under which we find private charity and the free market).
The free market is unhappy that officialdom has built on its fields blockhouses, walls, ditches, tollboths, customs houses, subsidized neighborhoods, SWAT storerooms, precincts, districts and government real estate in its domains. Christendom insists the magistrate have a court, to judge the evildoer, and a jail, to hold people temporarily prior to trial; it insists the magistrate have a sword, and means of gathering armed force as necessary for protection from internal and external threat. Still, Christianity allows — it conceives of — a free market. It allows, too, the “multitude of new offices,” referred to by the Americans in their declaration of independence, and it allows ”swarms of officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance” and “standing armies without the consent of our legislatures” and the like.
It allows them how? As denaturements, as curses, as punishments, if we consider the morning’s arguments. Mr. Cook’s outcry against the machinery for human standardization tell us how far local economy is suppressed. That we have a leadership breakfast testifies of our secret desires, our hidden confidence in the political and the compulsory
The leader concept; blind following the blind?

A must have food item is the pimento cheese sandwich. The food is very reasonable, although the drinks tend to be more on the expensive side.
The pimento cheese sandwich is good and so is the egg. Oh and the choc brownie and Georgia Peach Icecream sandwich is awesome.

After launching her Born This Way Foundation with Oprah Winfrey, an organization designed to celebrate individuality and empower young people, and crusading against eating disorders, the 26-year-old has leant her superstar name to another cause — anti-bullying.
Whilst touring in Rio de Janeiro, Mother Monster posed with fans who created t-shirts emblazoned with the message, “Bullying is for Losers.”
“Given the fact that she had such a huge, wide audience, [Gaga] has a great chance of being heard, because kids and teens and young adults listen to her music and they idealize her and respect her,” psychologist Dr. Fran Walfish told Celebuzz.
Gaga has spoken about against bullying before.
In September 2011, she tweeted “bullying must become be [sic] illegal” after 14-year-old Jamey Rodemeyer committed suicide. The bisexual teen, who was harassed for this sexual orientation, cited Gaga as someone he looks up to in an “It Gets Better” video he posted to YouTube.
Like many of her fans, the outspoken songstress has also admitted her own struggles, including with bulimia and anorexia since she was 15.
“Lady Gaga will do wonders of healing when her female fans feel empathisized with, they’re acknowledged and validated because their queen [Lady Gaga] too experienced mistreatment just like they did,” added Walfish, author of The Self-Aware Parent.
Do you think Gaga is making a difference? Weigh in below.

Principal’s Blog – 6 May 2021May 6, 2021
Dear Parents, Students and Staff
Happy Easter! Yes, it is still Easter and will be until Pentecost Sunday, 23 May. We give such prominence to Easter Sunday that it is easily forgotten that Easter is a significant period of time in the Church’s calendar. It lasts 50 days – and ‘pente-cost’ comes from the Greek, meaning ‘fiftieth’. Christians are often referred to as ‘Easter people’ which was highlighted when Pope St John Paul II said, “Do not abandon yourself to despair. We are Easter people and Hallelujah is our song”.
You might like to pursue the topic of Easter people further in this article. The sentiments in the opening paragraph are most pertinent currently as we enter the 2022 enrolment period. It was wonderful to see many prospective families at our Information Evening recently – SFX is a popular option as a College. In fact, 20% of all the high school students in the Belconnen region attend SFX. We are well known for our pastoral care and efforts in managing wellbeing and while we have to be a good school academically and provide opportunities in sport and cultural pursuits, we also must be true to our Catholic Identity. We accept students from all faiths and those with none – as long as there is support for the ethos of the College. It is the reason for our existence – the life and teachings of Jesus is the axis on which SFX revolves and we are inspired by the example of St Francis Xavier. Sometimes we have to have difficult conversations with individuals when their attitude or behaviour does not align with our school values. Thankfully, this does not occur too often as people know that SFX has strong values that work for the benefit of all. Visit the Enrolments page on our website to complete the enrolment form for your child starting at SFX in 2022.
Vale Mr Daryl Smeaton. Mr Smeaton was a parent of SFX, Board Chairperson and ultimately the Chair of the ACT Catholic Education Commission and it was with great sadness to hear of his passing. Daryl made a significant contribution to Catholic Education and we acknowledge and appreciate his time and effort in the development of SFX. Our thoughts and prayers are extended to his wife Laurine, children Erin and Luke, and extended family. “May his soul and all the souls of the faithfully departed, rest in peace. Amen.”

Phases and Structure Characteristics of the Near Eutectic Al-Sl-Cu Alloy Using Derivative Thermo Analysis
For determining of the micro-structural changes taking place in a near eutectic Al-Si-Cu aluminium cast alloy during heating and cooling process the UMSA device (Universal Metallurgical Simulator and Analyzer) was used. In this work the dependence between the regulated cooling speed and structure on the basis of the thermo-analysis was carried out. The thermal analysis was performed at a cooling rate in a range of 0,2 °C to 1,25 °C. The changes were examined and evaluated qualitatively by optical and electron scanning microscopy methods and the EDS microanalysis. During the investigation the formation of aluminium reach (α-Al) dendrites was revealed and also the occurrence of the α+β eutectic, the ternary eutectic α+Al2Cu+β, as well a iron and manganese containing phase was confirmed. The performed investigation are discussed for the reason of an possible improvement of thermal and structural properties of the alloy. The achieved results can be used for liquid metal processing in science and industry – for example foundry for developing and obtaining of a required alloy microstructure and properties influenced by a proper production conditions.

e-li'-a-shib ('elyashibh, "God restores"):
(1) A descendant of David (1 Chronicles 3:24).
(2) Head of the eleventh course of priests (1 Chronicles 24:12).
(3) The high priest in the time of Nehemiah. He, with his brethren the priests, helped in the rebuilding of the wall (Nehemiah 3:1). But later he was "allied unto Tobiah" the Ammonite (Nehemiah 13:4) and allowed that enemy of Nehemiah the use of a great chamber in the temple (Nehemiah 13:5); and one of his grandsons, a son of Joiada, married a daughter of Sanballat the Horonite and was for this expelled from the community by Nehemiah (Nehemiah 13:28).
(4, 5, 6) Three Israelites, one a "singer," who had married foreign wives (Ezra 10:24,27,36).

Branson to rent space lab to scientists
Richard Branson wants to rent out his space lab to Virgin Galactic scientists.
And although NASA scientists have already expressed interest, they aren’t the only ones looking to use the space lab.
The BBC reports:
- passengers will ride the rocket plane for the fun of it, but scientists would use it for the same reasons they also fly experiments on the International Space Station or on sounding rockets—to access microgravity conditions
- the weightless environment provides a unique perspective on physical systems and processes and is helping researchers to better understand disease and to develop new materials
- geoscientists might want to use it to pursue a range of research fields, including atmospheric chemistry, climate studies, space weather, or Earth imagery
The cost of using the lab for science would be about $200,000, according to the report.
Since NASA shut down its own Shuttle program in 2011, the agency has become the venture capitalists of the private space race — not only buying out lab space from Branson’s Galactic program, but investing $1.6 billion in Elon Musk’s SpaceX to resupply the International Space Station.

Since 2007 the opera productions signed by Enrico Castiglione in Sicily have achieved a great success with the public and media coverage, thanks to direct RAI and in theaters around the world, with a series of “sold out” ever achieved by any Another opera director in Sicily. And ‘no doubt, and recognized by all, personal affirmation that this artist from volcanic temper had in Sicily as a theater director and television productions and as a designer of opera often referred to as epic, staged at the Teatro Antico in Taormina own and Roman Theatre of Catania, always with new costumes by Sonia Cammarata. From neoclassical Medea with Chiara Taigi of 2007 to the passionate Tosca with Martina Serafin, Marcello Giordani and Renato Bruson of 2008, from the spectacular Aida with the late Salvatore Licitra, Juan Pons and Isabelle Kabatu which opened in 2009, the style of the virtual projections in high definition (transformed as if by magic the Ancient Theatre in Ancient Egypt) to the fairy-tale Turandot in 2010, the mighty Nabucco in 2011 on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the Unification of Italy and broadcast live by RAI.
Always “sold out” at the Teatro Antico for his productions, to top it all broadcast by RAI and the main international television networks (Aida is still broadcast on the Sky platform in Europe, Asia and America with excellent viewing figures, while in programming in these days in the United States works Turandot, Tosca and Aida in over four hundred cinemas), inter alia by encouraging Sicily and Taormina as never before, calling every time an audience from all over the world.
Now the formula is renewed for the upcoming season, which will be inaugurated by a highly anticipated new staging of Rigoletto which will be staged and directed by Enrico Castiglione and set design and costumes by Sonia Cammarata, 7 and 9 July 2013, with a voice cast of world importance: Carlos Almaguer in the role of Rigoletto, Gianluca Terranova in that of the Duke of Mantua, Rocio Ignacio in the Guild, Gianfranco Montresor in Monterone, with the Choir and the Symphony Orchestra of the Euro Mediterranean Festival directed by Gianluca Martinenghi.

(Minghui.org) Another 1,850 incidents of Falun Gong practitioners being arrested or harassed for their faith were confirmed in July and August 2022.
Falun Gong, also known as Falun Dafa, is a spiritual discipline that has been persecuted by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) since 1999. Countless practitioners have been arrested, harassed, sentenced, and tortured for upholding their faith. But due to strict information censorship in China, the incidents can’t always be reported in a timely manner, nor is all the information readily available.
Out of the 1,850 newly reported incidents, 1,043 were arrest cases, including 41 arrests that took place in 2021, with 197 in the first half of 2022 and 805 in July and August 2022. The 807 harassment cases included 29 in 2021, with 133 in the first half of 2022 and 645 in July and August 2022.
The actual arrest and harassment cases that happened in July and August 2022 are certain to be higher than the currently reported figures (805 and 645), as new information comes in with more cases reported and confirmed.
Even at the current numbers, July and August have averaged higher numbers of cases (around 402 arrests and 323 harassments) than the previous six months (which recorded an average of 173 arrest cases and 143 harassment cases per month, according to data collected as of August 31, 2022). This is because the authorities arrested the practitioners in attempt to prevent them from speaking out about the persecution ahead of the upcoming 20th National Party Congress of the CCP set for mid-October this year.
The newly reported persecution cases took place across the country in 29 provinces and municipalities. Heilongjiang (394), Shandong (230) and Jilin (227) had the most combined cases of arrests and harassment. Hebei, Sichuan, Liaoning and Beijing also reported triple-digit cases. Seventeen other regions registered double-digit cases and four regions had single-digit cases.
In Chengdu City, Sichuan Province, the Political and Legal Affairs Committee harassed many practitioners in August 2022, ordering them to sign statements, promising:
1. Not to oppose the Chinese Communist Party and socialism
2. Not to believe in Falun Gong
3. Not to promote Falun Gong
They attempted to finish working on all practitioners on their blacklist prior to the Party Congress.
In Qingdao City, Shandong Province, a practitioner was detained for 38 days after being arrested at work on July 11. She was frequently interrogated and held at several quarantine centres, including a former German prison still open to visitors. When the visitors asked about the people detained there, the guards said they were reenactment actors.
Another practitioner of Shandong was arrested on June 14 by the internet police in Luoyang City, Henan Province (about 500 miles) for sending information about the persecution of Falun Gong on WeChat, a major social media platform in China.
Since 2019, the Henan Province police have gone across the country and arrested practitioners for spreading information online about the persecution of Falun Gong. Around the same time as Mr. Li Shihai’s arrest, two women (one from Shanghai and another from Wuhan City, Hubei Province) were sentenced to 9.5 and 9 years, respectively, by a Luoyang court for their online activities. Three more practitioners from Hubei, Beijing, and Shandong Province are now awaiting trial.
The targeted practitioners came from all walks of life, including former government employees, professors, company managers, teachers, doctors, engineers and accountants. One hundred and thirty-eight (13.1%) of the arrested practitioners were 60 or older, including 59 in their 60s, 59 in their 70s, 19 in their 80s and a woman aged 98. Sixty (7.4%) of the harassed practitioners were above 60, including 10 in their 60s, 21 in their 70s and 29 in their 80s.
A total of 614 practitioners had their homes ransacked. Forty-eight practitioners had a total of 611,727 yuan in cash confiscated from them, including 373,000 yuan from one practitioner and 102,970 yuan and 2,811 USD from another practitioner. Fourteen elderly practitioners also had their pensions suspended.
The police violence has grown ever more intense in the past two months. A 70-year-old retired human resources director of Zhoukou City Power Company in Henan Province died of suspected torture in custody, one day after he was arrested on July 18. A photography studio owner was tied to a metal chair and tortured for three days. A former college lecturer was sexually assaulted by a torture expert with a “toolbox.”
Young children weren’t spared from the persecution either. A two-year-old boy was interrogated and

hi, everyone. it’s been a long time since i posted. the reason was that i have been in Argentina most of the winter (june, july, august), and there really isn’t much fishing. and i’m trying to keep a certain level of quality to my blog, so i’m not going to post crap just to post crap.
anyhow, i just got back into Austin about a month ago, but only spent a few days here before i headed down to Mexico to fish the Yucatán for baby tarpon. i took a small group of anglers down there where we spent 3 days at Tarpon Caye Lodge, which is run out of a quaint little hotel in the fishing village of San Felipe…then we transferred over to Isla Arena on the western side of the Yucatán and fished the virgin coastline north of Campeche. we had flown into Merida to avoid the super touristy bullshit that is Cancun.
the tarpon fishing experience was pretty spectacular. over at Tarpon Caye, we fished a mix of off-shore (1/4 to 1/2 mile out) in 12 feet or so of water for bigger tarpon. we all hooked fish in the 20-50+ pound range, a couple guys even hooked fish up to 90 pounds or so. this was, however, primarily a baby tarpon fishing trip. the rest of the time we targeted fish in the 10-20 pound range, which we found in abundance.
the rest of the first three days consisted of waking up super early (5 a.m.) to take breakfast and head out with the guides in small pangas. on some days we started in the mornings and cast to rolling tarpon in 2 feet of super clear water. later in the day, we’d head out to fish some of the mangrove creeks that line the shores and drain springs and rainwater from the main land. this was super cool fishing. San Felipe was a cool little town of maybe 1500 people (??). primarily a fishing village, and this time of year, octopus fishing was what was in season. octopus ceviche, by the way, is pretty bad ass if you’ve never tried it.
because of the super low tides and strange wind from Hurricane Gustav approaching the Gulf of Mexico, we’d quit around mid afternoon and head back to the lodge…usually there was some sort of awesome ceviche and beers waiting for us there. it was hotter than hell for those days we were there. 2 hours without a shirt on and i peeled for weeks.
afterwards, we headed back to Merida (2.5 hours), did some shopping for supplies with our outfitter, then we headed over to Isla Arena to fish with their outfit (called Isla del Sabalo). this is a remote corner (northwest corner to be exact) of the Yucatán. this small little island was our base. the lodging was quite interesting, nice little clean bungalows and a mini family-run restaurant that would serve us our meals and margaritas each day. for 40 miles south to Campeche, we had nothing but VIRGIN tarpon water. miles and miles of mangrove creeks that drained springs…and lagoons. all the tarpon fishing was done in shallow gin-clear water, poling over turtle grass flats and sight fishing to 10-20 pound fish rolling and cruising in pods. we did quite a bit of sightfishing.
it’s really creepy to see the Gulf of Mexico in the mornings here, dead calm and flat as far as the eye can see. unfortunately, we had some strange wind (from the northwest) and super high tides towards the end of the trip, so our outside (Gulf side) fishing was limited due to chop on the water. the tarpon got a little difficult to find in the afternoons with the high tide as they went so far up the creeks that the boats couldn’t get in there. but we had our fair share of spectacular days. on one day, one of my boat partners John Erskine and i hooked 20+ tarpon, sight fishing to many of them. really reminded me of Texas coast redfishing in a lot of ways
i did a pretty horrible job of NOT taking photos of any of the creek fishing, i just got pretty lazy, but it was really neat, except hotter than hell with no wind, so many times we couldn’t stand too much of it before we had to go run the boat for some A/C. i don’t want to get too long winded about this post, you get the point. oh, and we used Sage’s new (not so new any more) Largemouth Bass Rod

A new study on Thursday revealed that the brain of modern humans evolved much later than scientists had thought until now, after the first dispersal of our ancestors outside of Africa.
The human race, which includes many extinct species (Homo Erectus, Neanderthals …) as well as ours (Homo Sapiens), has not always developed its brain in a similar way to ours.
The researchers wanted to answer a question that has remained obscure until now: When did the brain structures that make us human evolve? One of the co-authors, Christoph Zollekofer, anthropologist at the University of Zurich in Switzerland, summarizes the study published Thursday in the prestigious journal Science.
“People believed until now that the human brain, similar to the human brain, developed at the beginning of the human race, about 2.5 million years ago,” he told France Presse.
But this evolution occurred much later, between 1.7 and 1.5 million years ago, this new work concluded.
To achieve this result, he and his colleague Marcia Ponce de Leon, the study’s lead author, studied numerous skull fossils, from Africa, Georgia and Java, Indonesia.
Since brains themselves do not degrade, the only way to monitor their development is to study the marks they have left inside the skull.
And so the scientists “scanned” the fossils, creating a virtual image of what had filled it long ago, like a dice – the so-called internal broadcast.
What characteristics then did they search for to determine the “newness” of the brain?
In humans, Christoph Zollekofer explains, “some areas of the frontal lobe are much larger than the corresponding regions in great apes.” One of them, for example, is the language-related Broca area.
This expansion has the effect of turning everything backward. “This reversal can be seen in the internal fossils over time, when we observe the impressions left by the fissures in the cerebral convolutions.”
– “Surprise” –
By studying skulls from Africa, the researchers were able to determine that the earliest ones, dating back more than 1.7 million years, actually possessed the frontal characteristic of great apes.
“This first result was a big surprise,” confirms the human paleontologist. This means that the human race “began with a two-legged walk (the ability to walk on two legs, the editor says), not a modern brain,” as he summarizes, and that the development of the brain “has nothing to do with the feet.”.
“From now on, we know that in our long history of evolution (…), the first representatives of our species were earthly bipeds, with a brain close to the great apes,” he adds.
Additionally, smaller African fossils, dating back 1.5 million years, have revealed the characteristics of modern human brains.
This means that the development occurred between these two dates in Africa, according to the study.
A conclusion confirmed by the fact that during this period more complex tools appeared, called Acheuleans, which have the peculiarity of presenting two identical faces. “It is not a coincidence, because we know that the areas of the brain that develop during this period are those used in complex manipulative processes, such as making tools,” says Zollekofer.
Why did this development happen? The researchers hypothesis is that a virtuous circle arose between cultural innovations and physical changes in the brain, both of which stimulate each other in return.
– Two migrations out of Africa –
The second surprising finding of the study comes from observations made on five fossils of skulls found at the Dmanisi site, in present-day Georgia, dating between 1.8 and 1.7 million years ago. Well preserved copies.
These were found to have rudimentary brains.
However, “people believed that a large modern brain was needed to disperse outside of Africa,” the human paleontologist explains. “We can show that these brains were neither large nor modern, and that the groups were able to leave” this continent anyway.
Finally, more recent fossils from Java provided modern features. So researchers believe there has been a second dispersion outside of Africa.
In short, “you have the first dispersal of the primitive-brained population, then the modern brain develops in Africa, and these people are dispersed again”, until they arrive in Indonesia, says Christoph Zollekoffer.
“This is not a new hypothesis, (…) but for the first time we have excavations proving it.”

What's the deal with this weird June weather?
- The remnants of hurricanes in 1979%2C 1990 and 2000 have also fueled June rain storms.
- The historic rains in Sept. 2014 were also spurred by hurricane moisture.
- Warm water currently in the Pacific Ocean has strengthened early-season hurricanes.
Late last week, what was left of Hurricane Andres paid a visit to Arizona.
The moisture from the weakening Pacific storm blew in on a low-pressure system to bring what turned out to be record-setting rain to Phoenix. Admittedly, the 0.16 inch of rain wasn't a lot, even by desert standards, but it was the first time ever that the city saw measurable rain on June 5.
If the scenario of dying hurricanes blowing through the Valley sounded familiar to longtime residents, there is good reason. It has happened before.
Ken Drozd, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Tucson, explained.
"We have had similar patterns," Drozd said. "Coincidentally, it started with a Hurricane Andres in 1979 and there was Boris in 1990. I don't remember exactly how far north they got. We had some moisture stream up from Bud in 2000. It's not totally unprecedented, but it is uncommon though, to have one hurricane, let alone two, affect us."
The pattern Drozd referred to was previous versions of the conditions of unusually warm water in the Pacific Ocean feeding moisture into the low-pressure systems that would normally bring not much more than dry wind to Arizona.
JUNE WEATHER PHOTOS
The warm water, related to persistent El Niño conditions, has also provided a bit more staying power to early-season Pacific hurricanes. In addition to Andres last week, the remains of hurricane Blanca provided a bit of rare June rain for the state this week.
The heaviest rains resulting from Blanca were in the western part of the state.
Yuma registered record rainfall for June 9 as a result of the weakened storm. Like Phoenix's record on June 5, Yuma needed only to receive measurable rain to set the record for June 9.
June is the driest month in large part because very high temperatures (the normal average high for the month is 103.9 degrees) and high pressure usually combine to keep the moisture away until monsoon conditions set up.
That hasn't been the case this year.
Drozd said the current weather pattern reminded him of fall-like conditions. It's more common for the remnants of Pacific hurricanes to reach the state late in the year. Last September's record-setting rainstorms were fueled by the remains of Hurricane Norbert, for example.
"In June, it is fairly unusual to have them get up into our area at this time of year," Drozd said. "Normally, we have that heat dome of high pressure over us to deflect them. It's not unusual to have those hurricanes down there, but it is unusual for that to make it up to us."
Question: What is it that causes the smell of rain? Isn't water odorless?
The smell most people associate with rain, particularly in dry places such as a desert, is an earthy smell known as petrichor, for oil released into the from earth and stones before rain falls. The word "petrichor" was coined by a pair of Australian scientists, Isabel Bear and Richard Thomas, in 1964. It is derived from the Greek words "petra," meaning stone, and "ichor," meaning blood of the gods.
While the Australians identified the oil more than 50 years ago, recent work by scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology explained that the smell is released into the airwhen raindrops hit the surface of dirt or rocks and they release aerosols, or small particles of the oils, into the air.
A January release from the MIT News Office explained how the researchers used high-speed cameras to observe raindrops hitting porous surfaces. Those drops trapped tiny air bubbles at the point of contact which, when they burst, released the oils.
The smell is more prominent during light rain or at the beginning of a storm because the aerosols, as well as bacteria and viruses, can be spread by gusts of wind.

Often, whenever anybody thinks of the concept of making a purchase online or sending their credit card info via the internet, they may tend to wonder about the safety aspect surrounding these kinds of web deals. The exact same kind of worry rings true for those people that have an interest in amusing themselves by using online poker sites as a video gaming facility option. They might have the tendency to ask themselves whether this is a safe thing to be doing or if they might be threatening things such as their bank account and overall financial safety by doing so. Another way in which a prospective online poker player might question security and authenticity aspects of an online poker website is with regard to collusion among some of its online poker gamers. Nevertheless, it might help you to rest a bit simpler after reading the following text and discovering the various ways in which safety issues are being resolved with regard to video gaming websites such as online poker websites.The best method for an private to utilize the internet in order to exchange loan on the internet is to use something referred to by some people and companies as a"digital wallet ". This type of safeguarding system operate in a method which an established, sincere company, which we will describe as the payment systems company for the rest of this post, is the medium between the online poker gamer and the online poker website. The online poker gamer will send his or her credit card details via the web to the payment systems company and the payment systems business will then pay the online poker website. It is very important to note that the online poker player's monetary information will never be seen by the online poker site and will just be seen by the established and legitimate payment systems company.Once the poker
player wins, the online poker website will pay the online poker gamer through the payment systems business and the poker gamer will then have the ability to gain access to the money by way of an electronic funds transfer from the payment systems company to the poker gamer's bank account that is supplied or via a check. If the online poker player loses in the different online poker video games, then the money will be transferred from the online poker gamer's credit card to the online poker site company by the payment systems business. This type of system makes sure that the poker gamer's financial info is not being unnecessarily distributed to various business and websites. It will permit the poker gamer to have comfort, knowing that his or her financial information is safe from outside spying eyes. Usually these payment systems companies will have complimentary protection developed for the specific using their services must their info get into the wrong hands. In the slim chance that this may happen, the payment systems company would reimburse all money to the individual damaged by the monetary hijacking. This also allows the specific online poker player to feel more unwinded when dealing with an online poker website.Another fear that
people have with regard to playing poker video games through an online poker website is that collusion may exist among other gamers. By definition, collusion is a secret arrangement between 2 or more persons to dedicate a fraudulent act. If 2 poker players making use of the same online poker website are working together to defraud other gamers out of their profits, this type of thing might occur. They may try to do this by interacting and communicating by telephone or maybe even by using a network and playing poker on the very same website in the same house. There is a particular method which online poker sites address this issue.The way in which online poker sites resolve this concern is by having a system where they can monitor all hands that are being played each time by individual gamers throughout the online poker games. Need to the online poker website examine and feel that there is some sort of collusion going on, they will take matters into their own hands to solve the circumstance. It readies to understand that most online poker gamers understand that online poker websites keep an eye on all activity occurring within each game and this in and of itself may help to prevent any prospective thoughts of collusion on the part of the online poker gamers. It is likewise beneficial to know that online poker sites are doing their part to prevent any possible collusion among online poker gamers as it hurts their organisation significantly ought to individuals be colluding to defraud other gamers and the company itself from any prospective winnings.Prospective online poker players might also be fearful of playing online poker if they feel that other people will be able to hack into the system and see other gamers hands throughout the games then base their wagers and folds on what they can see is being held by other poker playing individuals at their virtual table. The online poker websites have actually also resolved these types of issues by engaging different brands of software application that use encryption approaches to prevent any kind of hacking on Check Out Your URL the part of poker players. Once again, by protecting the big influx of online poker players that use their site to engage in online poker video games, the online poker website is safeguarding itself. If their business is viewed as having a less than desirable website in which to play poker, they will lose a great deal of potential

The first closure to exit 45 will run on the same schedule nightly until the final closure on October 16 from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m.
The alternate route for this closure is exit 50 at Provincial Road (PR) 221.
Officials say the work will include diamond grinding on the concrete surface, which will result in a quieter ride and better traction for greater safety.

Quantifying spectral changes experienced by plasmonic nanoparticles in a cellular environment to inform biomedical nanoparticle design
- 1.8k Downloads
Metal nanoparticles (NPs) scatter and absorb light in precise, designable ways, making them agile candidates for a variety of biomedical applications. When NPs are introduced to a physiological environment and interact with cells, their physicochemical properties can change as proteins adsorb on their surface and they agglomerate within intracellular endosomal vesicles. Since the plasmonic properties of metal NPs are dependent on their geometry and local environment, these physicochemical changes may alter the NPs' plasmonic properties, on which applications such as plasmonic photothermal therapy and photonic gene circuits are based. Here we systematically study and quantify how metal NPs' optical spectra change upon introduction to a cellular environment in which NPs agglomerate within endosomal vesicles. Using darkfield hyperspectral imaging, we measure changes in the peak wavelength, broadening, and distribution of 100-nm spherical gold NPs' optical spectra following introduction to human breast adenocarcinoma Sk-Br-3 cells as a function of NP exposure dose and time. On a cellular level, spectra shift up to 78.6 ± 23.5 nm after 24 h of NP exposure. Importantly, spectra broaden with time, achieving a spectral width of 105.9 ± 11.7 nm at 95% of the spectrum's maximum intensity after 24 h. On an individual intracellular NP cluster (NPC) level, spectra also show significant shifting, broadening, and heterogeneity after 24 h. Cellular transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and electromagnetic simulations of NPCs support the trends in spectral changes we measured. These quantitative data can help guide the design of metal NPs introduced to cellular environments in plasmonic NP-mediated biomedical technologies.

By virtue of their size and unique optical properties, metal nanoparticles (NPs) have enabled the development of numerous diagnostic and therapeutic technologies, such as contrast-enhanced medical imaging, plasmonic photothermal cancer therapy (PTT), and light-activated photothermal release of biomolecules [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]. While these technologies are extremely promising, their successful clinical adoption requires a clearer understanding of how NPs interact with the biological environment in which NPs are introduced. Already, studies have demonstrated how NPs' physicochemical properties (e.g., size and surface charge) can change when NPs are introduced into biological media and thus impact NP behavior. For example, proteins in the blood or cell culture medium can adsorb onto the NP surface, increasing NP size by as much as a factor of two [7, 8], altering the surface charge [7, 8, 9], and under different conditions either preventing [10, 11] or facilitating [12, 13] inter-particle aggregation. These new surface and structural properties can consequently determine which cell types NPs are targeted to, the extent of cellular uptake [15, 16, 17, 18, 19], and where NPs localize within cells [7, 16]. It is therefore evident that the property changes experienced by NPs in a biological environment must be well-understood so that NPs can be engineered to perform as intended in biomedical contexts.
One NP property whose changes have thus far not been well-studied in a biological environment is the metal NP optical response. When optically excited, metal NPs support a collective oscillation of surface electrons (termed ‘plasmon’), which is manifested as a strong interaction with light in terms of both absorption and scattering. The wavelength at which this optical response is strongest, termed the localized surface plasmon resonance wavelength, is very sensitive to the NP geometry and surrounding environment. Both of these factors can change when NPs are internalized by cells, suggesting that the optical properties of NPs may be impacted. Specifically, during receptor-mediated endocytosis of NPs, NPs are sequestered into subcellular endosomes and trafficked to late endosomes and lysosomes, where increasing numbers of NPs accumulate and possibly agglomerate [21, 22]. Intracellular agglomeration of NPs should alter the NP plasmonic spectra because from a fundamental plasmonics viewpoint, placing metal NPs in close proximity to each other can result in electromagnetic coupling of their plasmons and lead to a shift of the plasmon resonance wavelength to longer wavelengths (‘red-shift’) [23, 24, 25]. A red-shift of plasmonic NP spectra following NP agglomeration within cells has indeed been noticed in some studies. For instance, while developing anti-EGFR-conjugated gold NPs (AuNPs) as biosensors for measuring intracellular refractive index, Curry et al. observed that the scattering peaks for antibody-free AuNPs red-shifted and had a broader distribution than those for antibody-conjugated AuNPs following incubation with A431 cells. Because transmission electron microscopy (TEM) showed that antibody-free AuNPs were aggregated

Any hydraulic system, no matter how simple, cannot lack hydraulic monoblock valve; Therefore, hydraulic monoblock valve are the most varied, widely used and active part of hydraulic technology; Hydraulic monoblock valves is one of the most popular hydraulic monoblock valve. Why?
Because of its flexible action, reliable function, small impact and vibration during work, low noise, and relatively long service life. In addition, it has compact structure, easy installation, commissioning, use and maintenance, and good versatility.
However, in the actual use of hydraulic monoblock valves, due to various factors, the hydraulic monoblock valve may have some failures, which will adversely affect the normal use of hydraulic equipment, for instance, in the actual use of hydraulic equipment, due to hydraulic oil pollution will lead to oil precipitation, or some granular impurities in the hydraulic oil, these will cause the hydraulic monoblock valve to fail, usually after disassembly and cleaning, these troubleshooting can be carried out, so that the hydraulic monoblock valve can restore its function. For hydraulic monoblock valve disassembly and cleaning, it mainly includes the following 4 aspects:
(1) Disassembly. For hydraulic monoblock valve, although most of the various parts are connected by bolts, the hydraulic monoblock valve is not disassembled when designing, and if it is forcibly disassembled due to the lack of special equipment or lack of professional technology, the result may be damage to the hydraulic monoblock valve. So, try to hire a professional to do this step
(2) Check and clean up. Inspect the valve body and valve spool and other parts, observe their dirt deposits, and carefully remove the dirt with a brush without causing damage to the working surface.
(3) Coarse washing. Place the spool and body on the tray of the washing tank, heat and soak them, and ultrasonic cleaning is possible when conditions permit.
(4) Assemble. According to the schematic diagram of the hydraulic monoblock valve or the assembly relationship of the parts recorded during disassembly, careful operation should be paid during the assembly process to prevent the parts from being damaged. For some original sealing materials, it is easy to be damaged during the actual disassembly process, so please be careful.
Reading so far, maybe you think that the cleaning steps are too troublesome. You can choose to purchase our hydraulic monoblock valves,In addition, if your valve is really broken during subsequent use, you can contact us, we provide a very full range of accessories, to help you minimize trouble!

The Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) has selected a vaccine platform from Bavarian Nordic A/S for the development of a vaccine against two potential biological threats to national security – Burkholderia pseudomallei and Burkholderia mallei.
Under this new contract Bavarian Nordic will design, generate and test recombinant vaccines against Burkholderia. If the contract yields a successful proof of concept, DTRA may support further development of the vaccine through a larger contract award.
The technology, known as MVA-BN (Modified Vaccinia Ankara – Bavarian Nordic), is a robust and adaptable vaccine platform suitable for addressing a wide variety of infectious diseases. In addition to developing MVA-BN as a safer smallpox vaccine essential to protecting the immune-compromised population, Bavarian Nordic has conducted preclinical and clinical studies of recombinant MVA-BN-based vaccines for a variety of infectious diseases and numerous types of cancer.
“The award of this contract illustrates the strength of our MVA-BN vaccine platform technology, which has been developed through a decade-long partnership with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services,” said Anders Hedegaard, President and CEO of Bavarian Nordic. “As part of our strategy to expand our biodefense business beyond smallpox, we are pleased to add DTRA to our list of government partners with whom we work to develop novel biodefense vaccines.”
Burkholderia pseudomallei and Burkholderia mallei are bacterial pathogens that have been determined to pose a material threat sufficient to affect the United States’ national security. B. pseudomallei causes melioidosis, a human disease endemic in Southeast Asia and northern Australia. B. mallei causes glanders, a zoonotic disease primarily occurring in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and Central/South America. Because of the lengthy antibiotic therapy required to treat melioidosis and glanders, the suboptimal clinical outcomes, possible biothreat applications, and public health implications, there is significant interest in developing new vaccines capable of protecting against these agents, for which effective vaccines do not currently exist.
DTRA is now the fourth U.S. agency to collaborate with Bavarian Nordic on the development of novel biodefense vaccines. Other ongoing collaborations include the development of vaccines against smallpox, filoviruses (Ebola and Marburg) and foot-and-mouth disease, for which the company has received funding from the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and the Department of Homeland Security’s Science and Technology Directorate.

Welsh Water to invest millions on infrastructure and green projects
Dwr Cymru Welsh Water is to invest more than £180M in infrastructure and green projects over the next six months. News of the investment came as the company said a'strong performance' had enabled it to deliver £123M of investment and strong levels of service to customers in the six months to September 2015.
According to Welsh Water's half-year results, the company plans to invest a further £184M in capital projects and essential infrastructure between now and April 2016. It will also invest £5M from April 2016 to strengthen its drinking water supplies in Pembrokeshire following a recent burst near Llechryd. The investment is part of a wider £10M scheme the company will deliver in the area.
The company has also announced a purchase agreement for the supply of green energy from a new multimillion-pound organic waste treatment centre being developed in cooperation with Kelda Water Services and operated adjacent to the company’s site in Cardiff. It has also confirmed that it is investing £24M in transforming the Five Fords Wastewater Treatment Works in Wrexham into an innovative Energy Park – one of the first in the industry to incorporate solar, advanced anaerobic digestion and hydro generation schemes at the site.
Welsh Water said it is making significant progress towards its long-term goals for reducing its carbon footprint and making its operations more sustainable. In the past six years, it has increased the amount of energy it uses from renewable sources on its own sites from 2% to 20%.
Welsh Water's underlying profit for the six months was £25M, compared with £43M last year. It said the drop was due to the combined effect of an overall 1% reduction in the price it charges customers and a higher (non-cash) depreciation charge following the revaluation of operational and infrastructure assets as at April 1, 2015.
Key investments over the first six months of Welsh Water's current financial year include:
- Strengthening the resilience of drinking water supplies to 400,000-plus customers by connecting three new water treatment works to its network, namely Llyn Conwy, Garreglwyd and Dolbenmaen, with the investment totalling nearly £50M
- Reducing the risk of local sewer flooding by starting work on a further £25M investment programme in its RainScape programme in Llanelli and Gowerton over the next five years
- Improving security of supply to around 100,000 customers in Merthyr Tydfil by investing £2.5M to divert a strategic water main
- Upgrading the existing Bynea sewage pumping station in Llanelli by investing £4M to help alleviate the risk of internal sewer flooding to properties in the local community
- Increasing the capacity of the wastewater network in the St Helen’s area of Swansea through a £1.3M scheme that will enable it to cope with storm weather conditions.
Welsh Water chief executive Chris Jones said: “We have continued to invest significantly in our services in recent months to achieve industry-leading levels of customer satisfaction and trust. With our vision to earn the trust of our customers every day, our only focus is making decisions that always benefit customers and ensure value for money for customers now and for years to come. Our latest investment ensures that we can continue to deliver the most essential of public services whilst we have a real lasting impact on the communities we serve."

Director James Mangold’s Logan marked Hugh Jackman’s final appearance as Wolverine after first taking on the role in 2000’s X-Men. Although the film was only released in March, fans are already looking towards future and suggesting potential candidates who could succeed Jackman as the popular X-Men hero. Now, Pacific Rim Uprising star Scott Eastwood has expressed his interested in playing Wolverine during an interview with ComicBook.com at New York Comic Con.
Although Eastwood had a supporting role in Warner Bros.’ Suicide Squad, the actor has yet to star in the lead role of superhero film. When asked which superhero role he would be interested in tackling, Eastwood replied:
“Weapon X. I mean, Logan! You gotta give it to Wolverine! Wolverine, all day.”
Do you think Eastwood is a good choice to be the next Wolverine? Share your thoughts below!
Fans can continue to relive Hugh Jackman’s final performance as Wolverine with the Logan home video release.
In the near future, a weary Logan cares for an ailing Professor X in a hide out on the Mexican border. But Logan’s attempts to hide from the world and his legacy are up-ended when a young mutant arrives, being pursued by dark forces.
Directed by James Mangold, the film stars Hugh Jackman, Sir Patrick Stewart, Dafne Keen, Stephen Merchant, Richard E. Grant, Eriq LaSalle, Elizabeth Rodriguez, and Boyd Holbrook.
Logan is now available on Digital HD and will be released on Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD on May 23.
8 X-Men Characters Who Deserve Their Own Movie
So it’s probably safe to assume everyone here has seen Logan? Well, based on how well it did in the box-office I think 20th Century Fox is taking notes. Now that they have both Deadpool and Logan under their belts, I’m sure they will be bringing more X-Men characters to the big screen as soon as possible.
There are so many great X-Men arcs to choose from, but I think focusing on personal stories and fewer characters is a way to ensure the movie connects with an audience. Mutants were originally composed as a metaphor for the Civil Rights movement, and that issue is still very much so alive in our society. I’m not saying every movie needs to be political, but they all have the potential to be about so much more than destruction and boss battles. Fox focuses on smaller, personal stories that show mutants in a different light. Sure they can kick ass, but let’s make sure they always feel like real people, as Logan did.
Hit Next to see the eight mutants I think Fox should bring to the big screen next!

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — Major League Baseball plans to eliminate home plate collisions, possibly as soon as next season but no later than by 2015.
New York Mets general manager Sandy Alderson, chairman of the rules committee, made the announcement Wednesday at the winter meetings. Player safety and concern over concussions were major factors in the decision.
“Ultimately what we want to do is change the culture of acceptance that these plays are ordinary and routine and an accepted part of the game,” Alderson said. “The costs associated in terms of health and injury just no longer warrant the status quo.”
Alderson said wording of the rules change will be presented to owners for approval at their Jan. 16 meeting in Paradise Valley, Ariz.
“The exact language and how exactly the rule will be enforced is subject to final determination,” he said.
Approval of the players’ union is needed for the rules change to be effective for 2014.
“If the players’ association were to disapprove, then the implementation of the rule would be suspended for one year, but could be implemented unilaterally after that time,” Alderson said.
The union declined comment, pending a review of the proposed change.
Former All-Star first baseman Tony Clark, who became head of the union this month, said in November: “Suffice it to say, the players have some thoughts of their own regarding home-plate collisions.”
Discussion to limit or ban collisions has intensified since May 2011, when San Francisco’s Buster Posey was injured by Florida’s Scott Cousins. Posey, an All-Star catcher, sustained a broken bone in his lower left leg and three torn ligaments in his ankle, an injury that ended his season.
“This is, I think, in response to a few issues that have arisen,” Alderson said. “One is just the general occurrence of injuries from these incidents at home plate that affect players, both runners and catchers. And also kind of the general concern about concussions that exists not only in baseball but throughout professional sports and amateur sports today. It’s an emerging issue, and one that we in baseball have to address, as well as other sports.”

The Rev Samuel Wathem Wigg, grandfather of the present occupant of Mortimers off Rectory Lane, was once the vicar of The Church of St James, and was the founder of The Saints Rugby Club.
The history of Northampton Rugby Football Club goes back to 1880. Local clergyman Reverend Samuel Wathen Wigg was credited with starting the Saints. He formed a rugby team from something called the ‘church improvement class’ as a way for some high-spirited boys to let off steam.
Long before his death, Rev Wigg, father to nine children, was to see the side develop into one of the main clubs in England. The clergyman was curate of St James Church, hence today’s nickname for the club of Saints or Jimmy’s.

From 2012 to 2014, as part of variety testing, Agroscope performed trials with 25 varieties of hybrid ryegrass (Lolium x hybridum Hausskn.) and one variety of xFestulolium braunii akin to hybrid ryegrass at a total of six sites. Among these varieties were twelve previously recommended cultivars, which were to undergo periodical retesting. Dry-matter yield, digestibility, vigour, juvenile development, competitive ability, persistence, winter-hardiness, and resistance to leaf diseases and bacterial wilt were evaluated. The new varieties G 0373 and G 0366 fulfilled the applicable agronomic performance criteria for a variety recommendation. For G 0373, a variety whose appearance is somewhere between that of Italian and perennial ryegrass, the main characteristics to be cited were good values for yield, disease resistance and winter-hardiness. The variety G 0366, which is more similar to perennial ryegrass, showed impressive disease resistance, good winter-hardiness, vigour, and good persistence. The previously recommended varieties Redunca and Enduro no longer fulfil the necessary agronomic conditions, and will thus be stricken from the List of Recommended Varieties of Forage Plants. In addition to successfully passing the agronomic test, the two new varieties mentioned must pass the tests concerning distinctiveness, uniformity and stability of characteristics in order to be recommended.

NETTLE LEAF (Urtica dioica) aka - Great Stinging Nettle
Nettle is recognized as one of the most useful of all plants. It contains alkaloids that neutralize uric acid. Decreasing uric acid helps reduce symptoms of conditions such as gout and rheumatism. The astringent activity of nettle helps decrease bleeding. Nettle is rich in iron, which is vital to good circulation. It helps reduce high blood pressure. Nettle is good for anemic children when used as a tea, due to its high content of iron, silicon and potassium. Nettle increases the flow of urine, shrinks inflamed tissues, helps blood circulation and purifies the blood. It is an excellent remedy for dandruff and will bring back the natural color of hair. Nettle can also be used as a tincture for hypothyroid conditions to increase thyroid function. Nettle can alleviate allergic symptoms such as teary eyes and a runny nose. Nettle is beneficial during pregnancy. It is a mineral-rich nutritive herb with Vitamin K to guard against excessive bleeding. It improves kidney function and helps prevent hemorrhoids.
- Primary uses: Here are just a few of the maladies that Nettle Leaf can provide relief for: • Bleeding (Internal & External) • High Blood Pressure • Blood (Purifies) • Bronchitis • Gout • Rheumatism

The Trust for Public Land report, “The Economic Benefits and Fiscal Impact of Parks and Open Space,” presents already acknowledged information, but incorrectly reports the additional cost of open space acquisitions between 1977 and 2013. It is $3.2 billion, not the reported $1.5 billion.
The difference is interest on bonds used to purchase open space, all coming from Suffolk County taxpayer household budgets. The negative economic impact from these purchases is $8.2 billion or $25,000 per Long Island household. Yet, despite these costs, most Long Islanders would agree that these dollars were well-spent since they preserved the region’s drinking water and quality of life.
Now, in this most serious of recessions and a Long Island economy that is very different from past years, a push is on to spend scarce taxpayer dollars pursuing 35,000 acres of open space that some fear will be developed in what is called Long Island’s last build-out.
In comparison to the more than $60 billion projected loss of economic activity between 2013 and 2031 of acquiring these 35,000 acres, the trust’s report cobbled together a patchwork of $2.7 billion of annual economic activity from open space, including very debatable health benefits yielding dubious annual medical cost savings because more Long Islanders will exercise in the acquired open space.
Another eyebrow raiser is the economic benefit from parks. Few will argue that parks have constituencies that bring visitors and economic activity. The trust’s report overreaches, however, by crediting open space purchases and parks for over 50 percent of the economic activity of Long Island’s tourism industry.
Another questionable conclusion is the generated tourism revenue from visitors spending vacation time on Long Island’s East End. These visitors represent approximately 5 percent of all Long Island tourists. How can 5 percent of all Long Island tourists account for 50 percent of tourism and recreation revenue contained in the report?
Open space purchases on Long Island’s East End represent only 13 percent of Suffolk County’s open space purchases. The remaining open space acquired includes the Pine Barrens that protects Long Island’s drinking water, and few will argue that the Pine Barrens was not worth the cost.
While the Trust for Public Land Report contains some questionable conclusions, it fosters debate deserving of Long Islanders. The fundamental issue is whether Long Islanders should be taxed to fund open space purchases and whether economic activity should be taken out of the region at a time when it needs the boost the most.

Tips on How to Conceive a Baby Boy
We celebrate a newborn baby’s first smile, the little coo sounds they start making, and their first laugh in those early months. But, let’s not forget about all of the incredible milestones mummas go through as they transition into the world of parenthood. Mothers are made, not born. Sometimes you can be so busy and focused on your beautiful new baby that you forget to notice, let alone be proud of, your own firsts. Let us help you to take a few minutes to savour each one—because you deserve it!
Before you had a baby, you probably didn’t realise that getting out the door could be such a challenge. Some days you’ll try to go out, but it just won’t happen. By the time you’ve fed your baby, changed them, packed the nappy bag, and thrown on some clothes yourself, your baby will inevitably gift you with a poonami that requires a full change of clothes for both of you! Then, it’s time for another feed, and around it goes…until some days you simply give up. If you manage to get out, you deserve a medal! See this article on stepping out with a newborn for the first time.
The first mum (or mums) that you feel connected to and feel comfortable to share all of your struggles and wins with will remind you that you’re not alone, and that what you’re going through is perfectly normal. You can’t put a price on that kind of therapy! And just think, you might not have met each other if you didn’t have babies.
If you’re breastfeeding, you might initially feel uncomfortable doing it in front of others. But, if you’re out and about, your baby is screaming with hunger, and there’s nowhere discreet to go, you have no choice. It’s your role to meet your baby’s needs, whether you worry about people seeing you or not. This milestone just might be your first taste of not caring about what the public thinks about you when you’re with your kids. That really comes in handy during the toddler tantrum years!
Sooner or later, you’re going to get the opportunity to go for a walk by yourself, or go to the hairdresser’s, or for a coffee with a friend. That day will come, promise! You’ve probably been dreaming of the moment, but don’t be surprised if you have second thoughts about leaving your baby with your partner, friend, or family member. Hearing your baby’s cries might send you rushing back through the front door, but don’t worry, there’ll be other times when you feel more comfortable about letting go just a tiny bit. That first time, mumma, will feel amazing, and will hopefully recharge you so you can get through the next parenting challenge.
So much of those first few months as a new mum are about getting to know your baby, and what each sound means that they make. Once you start to learn your baby’s cues, to know what a tired cry is, a hungry cry, or a cry when your baby is asking for a nappy change, you will feel like you’re totally nailing this parenting thing! So, celebrate how connected you and your baby are, as this is when life can start to get a bit easier.
You have countless things to look forward to and celebrate as a mum…and they all will come, so be patient, and you will discover that you now appreciate the smallest things in life.

Prince George is gonna be mad his little sister keeps taking things from his closet!
So what exactly did Charlotte wear for her Christening?
A replica of the same royal gown that has been in her family since 1841!
Though the two don’t run into each other often, Celine likes to check in on the pop star when she can. She said:
“We meet here and there. She works a lot and I do, too. So once in awhile, when we can say hi, we do. Every time we see each other, we kind of laugh because she’s like, ‘Oh, my dad loves you so much!’ and I’m like, ‘Well, say hi!’”
How sweet! Celine is most definitely a super fan, Madge! Obvi :)

It’s been an exciting couple of weeks for Gleeks! While the fandom has yet to receive confirmation of the rumored Glee reboot, the popular series has found its new streaming homes on Disney+ and Hulu after leaving Netflix in late 2021. It’s been a long six months, but the 11-time Emmy-winning show from co-creator and executive producer Ryan Murphy arrives on the streamers June 1 in celebration of LGBTQIA+ Pride month.
First premiering on Fox in 2009, the pop culture monolith ran for six seasons until 2015. The show follows the New Directions, a high school glee club on their journey to show choir fame. The cast included Lea Michele and Jenna Ushkowitz, fresh off their runs in Broadway’s Spring Awakening, as well as Cory Monteith, Kevin McHale, Chris Colfer, Amber Riley, Mark Salling, Heather Morris, Naya Rivera, and Dianna Agron. Broadway alum Matthew Morrison, who had just appeared in South Pacific, led the New Directions as Mr. Schuester. Other Broadway favorites appeared in the series over the course of its six-season run, including Idina Menzel, Kristen Chenoweth, Jonathan Groff, and Neil Patrick Harris.
For several players, however, their singing roles on Glee may have served as an audition for their future Broadway careers. Here is a list of six Broadway players who got their start on Glee, or the Glee-adjacent reality series The Glee Project.
While Jane Lynch made appearances in many popular television series such as The L Word, Criminal Minds, and Two and a Half Men prior to Glee, she first exercised her singing chops on the musical series as cheerleading coach Sue Sylvester. The fast-talking, insult-throwing tyrant went head-to-head with the show choir teens before eventually growing fond of student Kurt Hummel and his relationship with Blaine Anderson, and slyly rooting for the singing teens. Lynch received numerous awards for her portrayal, including a Primetime Emmy for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy, a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress in Television, and a People’s Choice Award for Best TV Comedy Actress. During her time on Glee, the performer starred in the rotating cast of Nora Ephron’s Off-Broadway play Love, Loss, and What I Wore. After the musical series concluded, she made her Broadway debut as Miss Hannigan in Annie and can currently be seen on the Main Stem in Funny Girl as Fanny Brice’s mother.
What did Lynch sing on Glee? Popular covers include “Vogue” by Madonna, “Super Bass” by Nicki Minaj, and “Physical” by Olivia Newton-John.
When Darren Criss originated the role of Blaine Anderson, he was not a newbie to the musical theatre sphere. As a college student, he founded the theatre company StarKid Productions which rose to popularity in 2009 after their Harry Potter musical parody, A Very Potter Musical, reached virality and garnered a large fanbase. Joining the series in his breakthrough role as the Katy Perry-obsessed heartthrob in Season 2, the performer soon found himself making his Broadway debut in How to Success in Business Without Really Trying before going on to star as the title character of Hedwig in the Angry Inch on Broadway, and in Los Angeles, and San Francisco. Criss is currently appearing nightly in the all-star Broadway revival of David Mamet's American Buffalo.
What did Criss sing on Glee? Popular covers include “Teenage Dream” by Katy Perry, “Somewhere Only We Know” by Keane, and “Something's Coming” from West Side Story.
Melissa Benoist joined the cast of Glee as a season regular in 2012 after many of the original characters graduated and went off to college. She played Marley Rose, one of the most memorable newbies given her challenging storylines revolving around poverty and disordered eating. Immediately following Glee, the actor landed the title role in the D.C. television series Supergirl. However, she took a summer off from filming the superhero drama to make her Broadway debut as the title character for a two-month, limited run in Broadway’s Beautiful: The Carole King Musical.
What did Benoist sing on Glee? Popular covers include “Wrecking Ball” by Miley Cyrus, “Look at Me, I’m Sandra Dee (Reprise)” from Grease, and “Blow Me (One Last Kiss)” by Pink.
While not earning her claim-to-fame on Glee, Lindsay Pearce guest starred in two episodes after placing as runner-up on the Oxygen network reality competition The Glee Project—

Finasteride Shrinks Prostates of Any Size, Study Suggests
Long-term treatment with finasteride either alone or in combination with doxazosin is associated with clinically significant reductions in total prostate volume in patients with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and BPH, regardless of baseline prostate size, data show.
Steven A. Kaplan, MD, professor of urology at Weill Medical College of Cornell University in New York City, and his colleagues studied 3,047 patients with LUTS who were randomized to receive placebo, doxazosin (4-8 mg), finasteride (5 mg), or both drugs daily. The patients were participants in the Medical Therapy of Prostatic Symptoms trial.
After an average of 4.5 years, finasteride led to a consistent reduction of about 25% in total prostate volume compared with placebo in men with small, moderate, and enlarged prostates at baseline, according to a report in The Journal of Urology (2008;180:1030-1032).

Prince George's County's Paint Branch Trail (not to be confused with Montgomery County's Paint Branch Trail farther north) runs for 3.5 miles between Lake Artemesia and Cherry Hill Neighborhood Park in the Washington, DC, suburb of College Park. The trail is a part of the larger Anacostia Tributary Trail System, which provides miles of off-road paved paths along the various branches of the Anacostia River.
The Paint Branch Trail begins in the south at scenic Lake Artemesia, where you can connect directly with the Indian Creek Trail, Lake Artemesia Trail, and Northeast Branch Trail. The trail exits the Lake Artemesia Natural Area at its southwest corner, where it travels under Washington Metro railroad tracks and enters a wooded area. A direct connection to the Rhode Island Avenue Trolley Trail can be found here.
After crossing busy US 1 (trail users must travel south along the sidewalk for a short distance before rejoining the off-road route), the trail continues past the eastern edge of the main campus of the University of Maryland. Soon the trail reenters a heavily-wooded landscape, passes under University Boulevard/State Route 193 and skirts the edge of the Paint Branch Golf Course. The final section of the trail extends north to Cherry Hill Neighborhood Park.
A proposed extension of the Paint Branch Trail under Interstate 495 north to Beltsville's Community Center on Sellman Road has entered the design phase; when complete, the Paint Branch Trail will connect directly with the existing Little Paint Branch Trail in Beltsville, creating a continuous 10-mile trail.
Parking for the Paint Branch Trail can be found at the College Park Community Center at the intersection of Pierce Avenue and 51st Avenue. Near the trail's midpoint, park at Acredale Park (home to the College Park Dog Park) located off Metzerott Road west of Baltimore Avenue/US 1. Alternatively, park at the trail's northern trailhead in Cherry Hill Neighborhood Park on Cherry Hill Road.
TrailLink is a free service provided by Rails-to-Trails conservancy
(a non-profit) and we need your support!

To say that the partners at OTS Solicitors were delighted by their continued success and recognition in Chambers Guide to the Legal Profession 2021 is an understatement.

The one thing that immigration solicitors will tell you is that personal immigration law doesn’t just involve the main visa applicant but their whole family. Your family members may want to accompany you or join you as the visa applicant at a later date on a dependant visa or settle in the UK. Alternatively, family members may want to regularly come to the UK on visit visas to see you.

Many people think that if the Home Office has said ‘no’ to their visa application then that’s the end to their immigration dreams because they don’t think they can take on the Home Office and win.
Friday, 06 March, 2020

It is easy for members of the public to be judgemental about those who overstay in the UK after their visa expires but until you find yourself in that position it is best not to judge those who overstay either by accident or because they fear, for political or economic reasons, a return to their home country. In this blog we look at overst

Five startup businesses have won a year’s access to a new online finance training platform from a Yorkshire-based finance management firm.
The wins are part of a competition which launched Mellor Financial Training’s virtual training platform, established to offer an on-demand digital system specifically designed to be consumed online.
Martin Mellor, founder and managing director of Calderdale-based Mellor Financial Management, launched the platform having run face to face finance training for businesspeople since forming his business in 2016. Moving to offering live online training, Martin realised nobody was offering a truly interactive experience online and set the wheels in motion to build a bespoke platform in 2019, accelerating its development when COVID-19 hit.
Entrants provided a summary explaining how a stronger understanding of finances will support their businesses now and in the future with judges including finance and start-up business specialists scoring the applications.
The winners include Inspired Marketing, Connectably, Pixel Lab, Crescent VA and A Star Developments.
Rachel Oates of winning firm Inspired Marketing comments:
“I did an accountancy module as part of my business and marketing degree, but that was 20 years ago. I’ve been self-employed for a decade, so I do have an understanding of finances, but I tend to just work on the same things that I’ve always done. Initially I wanted to win and be able to do the course to help me in my role as a trustee for SACAR (a charity which helps adults with autism) and non-executive director for Freedom Personal Safety, but I am sure the course will add value to my business too.
“I’m absolutely delighted at winning the course and excited about the confidence, knowledge and the impact it will have on the not for profit organisations I work with.”
Founder of Mellor Financial Training Martin Mellor comments:
“It’s a pleasure to be able to support the startup community through this competition. The winners demonstrated a good understanding of how finance knowledge will see their businesses navigate a way through the current uncertain times, and into the future.
“I’m really proud of the platform which has been in development for nine months. I can’t wait to see how the winners utilise the course over the next 12 months to thrive in business regardless of what happens in the wider world.”
The online platform has been created for people that own their own business or are managers/on a development path to be a manager or director who need a better understanding of finance and accounting.
A license costs £199 for 12-months access to the site with six core modules to be completed. A certificate is provided upon completion of the course.

Damnificados is loosely based on the real-life occupation of a half-completed skyscraper in Caracas, Venezuela, the Tower of David. In this fictional version, six hundred “damnificados”—vagabonds and misfits—take over an abandoned urban tower and set up a community complete with schools, stores, beauty salons, bakeries, and a rag-tag defensive militia. Their always heroic (and often hilarious) struggle for survival and dignity pits them against corrupt police, the brutal military, and the tyrannical “owners.”
Taking place in an unnamed country at an unspecified time, the novel has elements of magical realism: avenging wolves, biblical floods, massacres involving multilingual ghosts, arrow showers falling to the tune of Beethoven’s Ninth, and a trash truck acting as a Trojan horse. The ghosts and miracles woven into the narrative are part of a richly imagined world in which the laws of nature are constantly stretched and the past is always present.
- “Should be read by every politician and rich bastard and then force-fed to them—literally, page by page.” —Jimmy Santiago Baca, author of A Place to Stand
- “Two-headed beasts, biblical floods, dragonflies to the rescue—magical realism threads through this authentic and compelling struggle of men and women—the damnificados—to make a home for themselves against all odds. Into this modern, urban, politically familiar landscape of the ‘have-nots’ versus the ‘haves,’ Amaworo Wilson introduces archetypes of hope and redemption that are also deeply familiar—true love, vision quests, the hero’s journey, even the remote possibility of a happy ending. These characters, this place, this dream will stay with you long after you’ve put this book down.” —Sharman Apt Russell, author of Hunger
- “Only a rare and special talent can take contemporary realities—sad, joyful, infuriating, inspiring—and spin them into legend. In a narrative rich in danger, adventure, humor, romance, and risk, JJ Amaworo Wilson raises essential questions without succumbing to earnestness or didacticism.” —Diane Lefer, author of Confessions of a Carnivore
- “BANGER” —Kit Caless, author of Spoons Carpets: An Appreciation
