This book surveys the current state of knowledge of the solar system and recommends a suite of planetary science flagship missions for the decade 2013-2022 that could provide a steady stream of important new discoveries about the solar system.
by Michael H. Carr - NASA
The knowledge gained through space exploration is leading to the new science of comparative planetology. This book outlines the geologic history of the terrestrial planets in light of recent exploration and the revolution in geologic thinking.
by J. S. Lewis, M. S. Matthews - University of Arizona Press
Parts of the solar system that are most accessible from Earth are rich in materials of great potential value. Immediate uses of these resources to manufacture propellants, metals, and fluids can support future large-scale space activities.
The pictures in this publication are a part of the rich harvest of information returned by Voyager 1. These images are of great beauty as well as great scientific interest, reminding us of the breathtaking dimensions of the solar system we inhabit.

Effects of banning the Islamic veil in public schools, French policy improved Muslim girls’ educational outcomes, IZA Newsroom, 2019-11-14.
High school graduation rates improve for Muslim girls
In particular, comparing women with and without a Muslim background shows a marked increase in the proportion of high school graduates in the Muslim group for cohorts born in 1981 and after, namely for cohorts who reached puberty (and the age of wearing the veil) just after the 1994 circular.
A comparison of men with different religious backgrounds shows no similar increase in the proportion of high school graduates in the Muslim group for cohorts born in 1981 and after, consistent with the assumption that the increase observed for women is driven by a policy targeting female students.

Union Pie specializes in thin-crust, bar-style pizza, according to its website, which added that the menu offerings at this new location will be similar to other locations through the D.C. area.
“Dear friend and supporter — inspired and motivated to create some type of lifeline during this difficult time for all small businesses, we’re thrilled to announce that we are officially opening another location of Union Pie right inside the front door of Jammin Java,” the event page said.
People will be able to pick up sample alcoholic premade drinks and menu items at the party, according to the page.
Jammin’ Java, a local concert and event venue, was previously home to a South Block smoothie joint, but the owners decided to switch up culinary offerings, according to a Union Pie spokesperson.
Anyone interested in trying the food before the grand opening event can order online.

When headlights burst, they emit radiation over the electromagnetic spectrum, from radio waves to visible, ultraviolet and x-ray lights. [1
The mature sun may still be inclined to temper tantrums. A new study suggests that older stars like the sun can produce superflares – huge energy blasts that can be seen over hundreds of light years.
Superflares used to be considered a younger star phenomenon, researchers said in a statement about the new study, but the new work suggests that it may happen on the sun at rare intervals, perhaps once in a few thousand years. (The sun is about 4.6 billion years old and halfway through its lifetime.)
The sun is hard to predict on a steady day, so it is difficult to say when a superflare would occur. The new work's lead author, Yuta Notsu – a visiting researcher at the University of Colorado Boulder – said this opportunity should inspire everyone to cure electronics against radiation.
Related: The Sun's Wrath: Worst Sunstreams in History
"If a superflare occurred 1000 years ago, it was probably no big problem. People may have seen a great aurora," Notsu said in a statement referring to the dancing northern lights or southern lights produced by sun particles that interact with molecules of the earth's atmosphere. "Now it's a much bigger problem because of our electronics."
We already know the sun's power can knock out power lines, electronics and satellites. Coronal mass expulsions from the sun – or large plums of charged particles – have caused problems with our infrastructure in the past, such as the extraordinary 1859 Carrington Event super storm that affected telegraph communication. However, a superflare would be worse. The super flyer would be hundreds or thousands of times more powerful than the most active tans that were recorded.
"If a superflare erupted from the sun … the Earth would probably be in the way of a wave of radiation radiation. An explosion can disrupt the electronics worldwide and cause widespread power outages and short circuit communication satellites in orbit," said University of Colorado representatives. Boulder in the statement.
The new superflar data came from NASA's Kepler Space Telescope, which was looking for planets on distant stars between 2009 and 2018. Kepler also saw a lot of star activity when looking for new worlds. It discovered some superflies, moments when the starlight suddenly became brighter before dimming again.
Curious about Kepler's findings, scientists saw the spacecraft's spacecraft studying star movements and brightnesses over a billion stars – and the Apache Point Observatory in New Mexico.
The two telescopes saw 43 superflies that came from stars that resemble age and size to our own sun, said the researcher researcher. Statistics from their data show that most superflares come from younger stars, which can flare about once a week. And our own sun is still inclined, but only once for a few thousand years.
Notsu presented his research Monday, June 10 at the 234th meeting of the American Astronomical Society in St. Louis. The result was also detailed May 3 in The Astrophysical Journal.

Yes, I will participate in the bad joke about where Richard III was parked. I remember my father’s friend and colleague Professor John Shorter was complaining about having to park in a multi-story car park in Hull.
At least it wasn’t a multi-story parked on top of King Richard.
A couple of silly signs from Facebook.
Inquiring minds want to know. What’s the penalty for burying a dead monarch?
OK, who IS responsible?
Richard is pulled out of the grave and The Constable wants to fine him for loitering. “Do you know who I am?”
” Sorry, sir. You look like a cut up bag of bones to me.”
“I’ll have your head.”
“Come along quietly sir.”
When Richard is pulled out of the ground, he sees a group of people from the Indian Subcontinent. The King is staring.
“Where am I?” King Richard mutters.

The Sex Pistols are synonymous with the punk rock revolution of the 1970s, and their legendary poster is a symbol of that rebellious era. In this article, we’ll delve into the history and significance of the Sex Pistols’ iconic poster, which continues to be a defining image of punk culture.
The Sex Pistols: Pioneers of Punk Rock
Before we explore the poster, let’s set the stage with some history. The Sex Pistols, formed in 1972, were a British punk rock band that would go on to change the face of music and youth culture.
- 1972: Formation of the Sex Pistols
- The Sex Pistols were founded in 1972, marking the birth of a new era in music. Comprising Steve Jones, Paul Cook, Glen Matlock, and the enigmatic Johnny Rotten (John Lydon), the band was a rebellious force poised to challenge the establishment.
- 1976: Release of „Anarchy in the U.K.”
- The Sex Pistols unleashed their debut single, „Anarchy in the U.K.,” in November 1976. The song was more than music; it was an anthem that defined the punk movement and echoed the frustration of a generation.
- 1977: The „Never Mind the Bollocks” Album
- The Sex Pistols released their first and only studio album, „Never Mind the Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols,” in 1977. This album is now celebrated as one of the greatest punk rock albums in history.
The Legendary Poster: Never Mind the Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols
The Sex Pistols’ poster for their debut album, „Never Mind the Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols,” is an iconic piece of punk rock history. Its design appears simple, yet it carries profound historical and cultural significance.
The poster’s aesthetic is minimalist and raw, mirroring the essence of punk rock itself. Its simplicity is a direct reflection of the band’s music and attitude. The bold, black letters against a bright yellow background create a stark, attention-grabbing contrast.
Controversy and Banning
Upon its release in 1977, the poster immediately stirred controversy and was banned in several places due to its explicit language. The album title, „Never Mind the Bollocks,” was seen as offensive by some but was embraced by punk rock enthusiasts as a defiant slogan. The controversy only added to its legendary status and highlighted the provocative nature of the punk movement.
The Album’s Impact
„Never Mind the Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols” was more than an album; it was a cultural force. The poster, serving as a visual extension of the album, encapsulated the raw energy and confrontational lyrics of the band. It became an anthem for disaffected youth, a symbol of rebellion against the establishment, and a soundtrack for a generation eager to disrupt the status quo.
The poster’s legacy extends far beyond its role in promoting an album. It continues to be reproduced and displayed in various forms, from T-shirts to framed prints. It’s not merely a piece of promotional material; it’s a cultural artifact, a symbol of the punk rock movement, and a reminder of the power of music to challenge societal norms and provoke thought.
Embrace the Punk Spirit
The Sex Pistols’ legendary poster is a testament to the power of music to challenge the norm, provoke thought, and inspire rebellion. It’s more than just a piece of paper; it’s a symbol of a cultural revolution. Let it transport you to an era of punk rock, when music was a call to arms and the establishment was in the crosshairs of a rebellious generation.
Celebrate the punk spirit and the enduring impact of the Sex Pistols’ legendary poster. It’s not just an image; it’s a representation of a movement that changed the course of music and culture. It’s a reminder that even the simplest of designs can carry the weight of a revolution.

from The Century Dictionary and Cyclopedia
- n. In chem., a basic salt; a salt in which two or more equivalents of the base, or molecules of the metallic oxid, are combined with one of the acids radical, as mercurous subacetate, Hg2(C2H3O2)2, or cuprous chlorid, Cu2Cl2.
At the time of the leak at the Frade field, Chevron was tapping oil at 3,800 feet, shallower than this so-called subsalt level.
Among the so-called subsalt discoveries, the biggest is Tupi, which is estimated to contain between five and eight billion barrels of oil.
Brazil's so-called subsalt oil lies in deep water under thousands of feet of sand, rock and a shifting layer of salt.
Brazil's so-called subsalt offshore oil belt has been concessioned to oil companies for development.
PBR.N said Wednesday its Tupi field, one of the crown jewels in Brazil's so-called subsalt oil fields, would now be known as "Lula."
SA gained 1.16 percent after the company said its reserves rose by 8.3 billion barrels of oil equivalent after two massive offshore oilfields in the deep-water region known as the subsalt were declared commercially viable.
Brazil's so-called subsalt oil fields, would now be known as "Lula."
The new law creates a production sharing system for future projects in the subsalt, which is believed to hold more than 50 billion barrels of oil buried under the ocean floor beneath a thick layer of salt.
In September the company found signs of oil after drilling a well in that block, which is located in the deep water region known as the subsalt believed to hold 50
Petrobras estimates so-called subsalt fields offshore could more than triple its existing proven oil reserves of 14 billion barrels, catapulting Brazil into the top league of OPEC nations.

NASA Discovers New Radiation Belt Around Earth
by Charles Q. Choi, SPACE.com Contributor
Date: 28 February 2013 Time: 02:01 PM ET
A ring of radiation previously unknown to science fleetingly surrounded Earth last year before being virtually annihilated by a powerful interplanetary shock wave, scientists say.
NASA's twin Van Allen space probes, which are studying the Earth's radiation belts, made the cosmic find. The surprising discovery — a new, albeit temporary, radiation belt around Earth — reveals how much remains unknown about outer space, even those regions closest to the planet, researchers added.
After humanity began exploring space, the first major find made there were the Van Allen radiation belts, zones of magnetically trapped, highly energetic charged particles first discovered in 1958.

|As long as you allow the dog to jump on you, the dog will always jump on people and other dogs. When you come home ignore the dog while you come in and put your stuff up. Do not pet or talk to the dog until it is in a submissive behavior (a sit) and calms down.
You dog could be suffering from a number of things with the aggression, even immunizations can effect a dogs behavior. You need to never praise the dog when in an excited state, as this tells the dogs its okay to be like this. Do not try and 'calm' the dog by petting him/her and saying it's 'okay' as this also states that the current behavior is acceptable.
Your pup might be going through a stage and is trying to assert dominance, on you and other dogs. Dogs should greet each other with a butt sniff first, not a face sniff, as this is 'rude' behavior, although puppies have to learn alot of these behaviors. If the pup was taken before 8-9 weeks old, the pup could have missed some informative learning stages. You will need to correct the pup as soon as it starts to do a'stare down' with another dog it is approaching. If another dog approaches, allow the other dog to smell her/him first. If this means you pick her up and turn her around to let the other dog sniff.
This also means that you need to be calm and assertive and she needs to be calm submissive. No yelling, no harsh corrections, just to the point and at the very START of the behavior, do not let it escalate to a growl or a bark or a jump. The dogs feed off your current emotional state. If you are nervous when approaching another dog, your dog will be nervous. Be calm, make the pup watch you and do not let her smell, pee, etc. without your permission, ie: if you are out walking, she needs to stay at heel positions and only when you allow her to go pee or smell something can she smell and pee on anything. This gives you the dominant position. Dominance is not being mean, but being the leader.
A pack leader always walks in the lead.....

We, humans, have a tendency to whine when faced with slightest of adversity. Life seems a huge burden and tears tend to dry with thoughts turning green with vice, taking shape of a nasty Goblin.
However, all seems puny and pointless after learning the life story of young, super talented and amazingly brave, Sparsh Shah.
All of 14, sensational Sparsh is a digital sensation, singer-songwriter, rapper and motivational speaker.
He first hit notes of popularity after his video of a music cover of Eminem’s ‘Not Afraid’ went viral, making the people and international media sit up and take note of this prodigy.
We met Sparsh during a session at the recently concluded Goa Fest. Sparsh is a special story. The Indian-American child artiste was born with an incurable disease called Osteogenesis Imperfecta – a condition that makes bones extremely fragile and brittle, Sparsh suffered the breaking of 35-40 bones during birth.
Since then the count has gone up to 135. Yet, a genius, his spirit is far from being broken.
At the session, he sang the national anthem and went on to belt out more numbers. He is smart, witty and a great entertainer.
“I would like to thank my father for being there, motivating me. Without him I would be nowhere. He tells me he is travelling the world because of me, but it’s truly the other way around,” said Sparsh with a smile.
Sparsh emphasized on the need to bring on board more specially abled children for ad campaigns, which help in striking a different and unique audience connect.
Charged up and forever positive, Sparsh embarked on the idea of ‘not giving up’ and ‘anything is possible if one is committed enough’.
When asked by media veteran Sam Balsara on how he relates to kids of his age and if he goes to a regular school, a nonchalant Sparsh replied: “I definitely go to a normal school and have many friends. Of course, there are certain things for which I need help, otherwise I am pretty normal. My real friends will tell you how crazy I am (laughs).”
Sparsh, further, went on to state that he is committed to ‘giving back to the society’ and making this ‘world a better place to live in general’.
“There is so much negativity in the world and this is the time when we all need to come together and do our bit to heal the world,” said he and went on to sing he ‘Heal the World’ number.
Sparsh has a unique talent to rap the toughest words as well as sing beautifully Hindi classical music, which is awe inspiring.
“It is tough to juggle between school, homework and your event commitments. But no complaints. The key is to be disciplined,” ended Sparsh as he smiled for the camera.
Sparsh, more power to you.

SPALDING councillor Christine Lawton attacked a company’s plans to extend a care home, saying residents would live in “attic rooms” without a view of the outside world.
Apex Care Ltd wanted to build 19 new bedrooms along with communal areas at The Bungalow Care Home in Park Road, Spalding.
But councillors unanimously rejected the plan, saying it was overdevelopment of the site.
They were also concerned about insufficient parking, the “amenity of the proposed building” and potential impact on neighbours.
The proposed rooms would have been on two floors, with first-floor accommodation housed in the roof.
Coun Lawton told Wednesday’s planning committee the proposal involved boosting the number of bedrooms from 28 to 47 with no extra on-site parking.
She criticised plans for roof lights and obscured glass in windows in the first floor rooms.
Coun Lawton said: “That sounds like attic rooms to me.”
She was concerned for potential future residents and said: “Let’s hope they don’t want a room with a view.
“For the residents of this home, to have that many bedrooms shoe-horned into this space, seems to me to be quite unacceptable.”
Coun Bryan Alcock understood the roof lights and obscure glazing were included to protect neighbours’ privacy, but wanted to know if the planning committee was willing to condone elderly people living in bedrooms with obscure glazing.

Lindsay Lohan is reportedly set to publish a book based on a diary she kept during her spell in rehab.
Lindsay is believed to be on the verge of signing a $1million deal to use her diary as the basis for an autobiography.
The book will cover Lohan’s journey from child star to her court-ordered rehab stint, and will be published with HarperCollins.
A publishing source revealed to the New York Post’s Page Six: ‘It’s more or less an autobiography, but she had a minimal number of pages.’
The actress’ agent Scott Waxman has apparently met with various publishing houses, but failed to secure a $5 million deal amid concerns that Lindsay would not produce a completed book.
The source added: ‘There was initial interest, but everybody backed off. There was concern she wouldn’t deliver.’
LiLo’s new reality TV show, simply called Lindsay, will premiere on Oprah Winfrey’s OWN network.
The 27-year-old said that she is ready to ‘cut the bulls***’ to restart her career.
‘I know that this is my last shot at doing what I love to do’ she reveals in the first trailer for the show.
Could we see Lindsay’s version of a McConaissance soon?

The National Low Income Housing Coalition just released its annual report, The Gap: A Shortage of Affordable Homes, which finds a shortage of nearly seven million affordable and available rental homes for extremely low-income renters. Even before the COVID-19 public health and economic crisis began, low-income households struggled to find decent, affordable homes.
The report also provides Massachusetts‘ numbers:
298,370: Number of extremely low income renter households: 298,370
48: Number of affordable and available rental homes per 100 extremely low income renter households:
60%: Extremely low income renter households with severe cost burden: 60%
Western Massachusetts is no exception, as reflected in the recent release of the Greater Springfield Area Housing Study, the first report of a multi-phase project studying Pioneer Valley housing issues produced by the UMass Donahue Institute, Way Finders, the Community Foundation of Western Massachusetts, and the Metropolitan Springfield Housing Study Advisory Committee
On a national level, the NLHIC report calls for policies that would ensure everyone has access to affordable, stable housing: expansion of rental assistance to all eligible households; significant and sustained investments in the national Housing Trust Fund, public housing, and the preservation of the existing affordable housing stock; a permanent National Housing Stabilization Fund to prevent evictions and homelessness; and robust protections to keep renters stably housed.

The trend in eating out among Aussies has become all about casual dining. Consumers are leaning towards restaurants and bars offering a relaxed vibe, while still serving up quality food.
Thai Chef Sujet Saenkham believes that eating out should be about good food served in a comfortable environment. For many Australians, it's all about getting more bang for your buck.
According to the CEO of Restaurant and Catering Australia, the dining habits of Australians have changed since the Global Financial Crisis. While people are eating out more, they're tending to spend less. The trends seem to suggest less interest in fine dining.
Yet not everyone agrees. In Brisbane, The Urbane Group, who run both Urbane and The Euro, have perfected a combination of casual dining with gourmet style food.
According to Keliann Zellman from Urbane, fine dining is still in demand, however the approach of customers to eating out is very casual. He said they often receive bookings on the day, but people are still interested in having a food experience that's about quality.

Android mobile betting refers to the process of placing bets using an Android-powered device, such as a smartphone or tablet. Sports betting apps have become increasingly popular in recent years as more people have access to mobile devices and the internet. In this article, we will take a closer look at the pros and cons of Android mobile betting to help you determine whether it is the right choice for you.
Pros of Android Mobile Betting
One of the biggest advantages of Android mobile betting is convenience. With an Android device, you can place bets anywhere, at any time, as long as you have an internet connection. This makes it easy to stay up-to-date on the latest odds and place bets on live events as they happen.
Wide Range of Betting Options
Most Android betting apps offer a wide range of betting options, such as sports betting, casino games, and horse racing. This makes it easy to find the betting markets that you are interested in and place bets that suit your style and budget.
Secure and Safe
Another advantage of Android mobile betting is that it is typically secure and safe. Most trustworthy betting sites use advanced security measures to protect your personal information and keep your transactions private. This gives you confidence that your personal and financial information is protected.
Easy to Use
Android betting platforms are easy to use, so it’s easy to find your way around and place bets. You can easily find the markets that you are interested in, check the latest odds, and place your bets with just a few taps of your finger.
Cons of Mobile Betting
Potential for Addiction
One of the biggest concerns with mobile betting is the potential for addiction. With the convenience of being able to place bets anywhere, at any time, it can be easy to get carried away and spend more time and money on betting than you intended.
Risk of Technical Issues
Another potential drawback of Android mobile betting is the risk of technical issues. Mobile devices can be prone to glitches, crashes, and other issues that can prevent you from placing bets or accessing your account. This can be frustrating, especially if you are trying to place a bet on a live event.
Limited Access to Customer Support
Finally, you may find that you have limited access to customer support when using an Android mobile betting platform. This can make it difficult to resolve any issues or problems that you may encounter when betting. Although most mobile betting sites offer the same customer care hours as the desktop site does, if the website is not optimised for mobile screens or you are having connectivity issues, you may not be able to contact them as easily.
Android mobile betting has a number of advantages, including convenience, a wide range of betting options, security, and ease of use. However, there are also some potential drawbacks, including the risk of addiction, the risk of technical issues, and limited access to customer support.
Ultimately, the decision to use Android mobile betting will come down to your personal preferences and the type of betting that you are interested in. Before you start betting, it is best to look at the desktop site and mobile website/app and compare the two. In this way, you can see which suits your needs best.

Brett Kavanaugh’s SCOTUS Confirmation Odds Shortening
Credit: Jack Gruber-USA TODAY. Pictured: Brett Kavanaugh
- Brett Kavanaugh was a -500 favorite to be confirmed to the Supreme Court just two weeks ago.
- Oddsmakers has since taken down the prop, although PredictIt still has odds on whether Kavanaugh will be confirmed by Aug. 31 and in September.
- The odds for Kavanaugh being confirmed in September have dropped from 67% two weeks ago to 52% today.
Pundits on both sides of the aisle were surprised when Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy announced he was stepping down in June, giving President Trump his second SCOTUS nominee in his first two years.
Trump’s selection to replace Kennedy is Brett Kavanaugh, a current appeals judge appointed by former president George W. Bush.
Kavanaugh’s confirmation is a contentious issue in politics right now, and per FiveThirtyEight, he’s not a publicly popular pick. According to the politics website, Kavanaugh has a “Net Confirmation Support” margin of +5, which is the lowest mark of the past eight nominees since John Roberts in 2005.
The two other nominees below +10 since 1987 — Harriet Miers and Robert Bork — were not confirmed.
Nevertheless, it’s a different era for SCOTUS nominees: Senate Republicans in 2017 lowered the threshold to end the filibuster debate from 60 to 51 votes, essentially making the SCOTUS confirmation process a simple majority affair. And, of course, for now the Republicans hold a 51-49 edge in the Senate. If all Senators vote along party lines (although that’s up in the air, and it’s possible Arizona Senator John McCain might not be able to vote due to health issues), Kavanaugh will be confirmed despite his lack of popularity among pollers.
Politics speculation website PredictIt.com allows anyone to predict when Kavanaugh will be confirmed; we last gave an update about two weeks ago. Here’s the current market on whether he’ll be confirmed by Aug. 31:
The market has held firm, which is predicting that he’s quite unlikely to be confirmed before September. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has consistently stated that they’d move to vote this fall and ideally before SCOTUS resumes hearing cases in October. Thus, September is a more interesting debate:
The betting market has drastically shifted over the past two weeks, with “Yes” now down to 52% in the market. There has been a lot of news in recent weeks about Kavanaugh, who has a long paper trail of opinions throughout his career. It’s clear Senate Democrats will fight his confirmation in a big way once the process begins.
>> Sign up for The Action Network’s daily newsletter to get the smartest conversation delivered into your inbox each morning.
But even if Kavanaugh doesn’t get through in September, and even if his confirmation somehow makes it past midterms in November, the betting market is bullish on Republicans retaining control of the Senate. Here are the current odds as of today:
- Republican Majority: 75% (-300 odds)
- Democratic Majority: 18.2% (+450 odds)
- No Majority: 18.2% (+450 odds)
Make sure to keep an eye on all of our politics betting content; we’ll make sure to update you as odds in the market shift.

Red Abyssinian (Ensete maurelii)
Red Abyssinian is a very attractive perennial plant that adds a brilliant pop of color to any landscape. It's closely related to banana plants and has a very tropical, with the added bonus of cold tolerance to Zone 8! It's sometimes referred to as False Banana, Enset, or Ensente. Red Abyssinian is cultivated for it's highly ornamental red to burgundy foliage and edible root. Although the root is rare to consume in the U.S., it's a very important food crop in Ethiopia.
It grows quickly and effortlessly. Like bananas, these plants spread through suckers and produce a banana like fruit, although these ones aren't very edible. Also like bananas, Red Abysinnian's aren't fruit trees, but rather monocarpic perennial herb plants! They can grow up to 10 feet tall in temperate areas and up to 20 feet tall in sub-tropical areas. Best planted in full sun, which will bring a brighter coloration in the leaves, but it's important to provide protection from strong winds as they can damage the leaves. Fun Fact: Native to Eastern Africa, Abyssinia is actually an older name for Ethiopia, which, along with Kenya, is the heart of what we now call East Africa.

Dempsey says another important reason to nominate beneficiaries is to protect death benefits from creditors and fees. Any outstanding debts would need to be settled before the estate will pay out. This could significantly reduce the amount of money that will finally go to beneficiaries. The proceeds of a life insurance policy will be deemed as property in the estate for Estate Duty purposes. And this is calculated at a further rate of 20 percent of the net amount over R3.5 million after settling any debts. life insurance Should your the policy pay into your estate, this money will also be subject to the executor’s fees (a maximum of 3.5 per cent plus VAT).
“If, however, your client nominated a spouse as beneficiary, the death benefit would be paid directly into a partner’s bank account. This can happen within days following a claim, provided there was no cause for suspicion or further investigation.”
Dempsey adds that as long as you have not ceded the life policy to cover a loan or mortgage bond, your policy will also be exempt from claims from your creditors. In other words, your family will receive the full payment amount you had intended

Be true to yourself! If ever there was a classic message, this one is it. What a lovely movie! Based on a children’s book by Munro Leaf, it tells the story of a flower-loving bull. What I didn’t know was that Disney had already made a movie based on the story in 1938 and had won an academy award.
I’ve never been a fan of bull-fighting. Even though it’s a cultural thing, I’m against the killing of any animal for the sake of sport. The movie brings this out in a heart-warming way. We root for Ferdinand and celebrate his victory and his need to be who he is. We can all relate, right? It’s a children’s movie which any adult can enjoy. I heartily recommend it.~~LMMolina

Aten CS1016 - 16 Port VGA / PS2 with Audio Rack Mountable KVM Switch
The MasterView Pro KVM Switch is a control unit that allows access to multiple PCs from a single console (keyboard, mouse, and monitor). With the MasterView Pro, you can easily access multiple computers in a cost effective manner.
This MasterView Pro unit can control up to 16 PCs. Up to 31 additional Master View Pros can be daisy chained (for a total of up to 32 units), which means that up to 512 PCs can all be controlled from a single keyboard-monitor-mouse console. The MasterView Pro has dedicated cascading ports so no CPU ports are lost when cascading or daisy chaining units.
Standard KVM switches on the market today have a single CPU to control all incoming and outgoing mouse signals. This causes the majority of keyboard and mouse problems you see with other KVM switches. The Aten KVM Series units provide a dedicated CPU for each port so you have a much more stable work environment. The keyboard and mouse signals can also be reset from the unit without powering down the PC in case problems occur.
Setup is fast and easy as plugging cables into their appropriate ports is all that is entailed. There is no software to configure, so there is no need to get involved in complex software installation routines or be concerned with incompatibility problems. Since the MasterView Pro intercepts keyboard input directly, it works on any hardware platform and with all operating systems.
The MasterView Pro provides two convenient methods to access any PC connected to the system: using the port selection switches located on the MasterView Pro front panel and using the menu driven OSD (On Screen Display) feature.
A powerful Quick View Scan Mode feature allows you to auto scan and monitor the activities of all operating PCs on the installation one by one. Responding to the growing use of multimedia in the work station space, the MasterView Pro has been designed with built in microphone and speaker support - a feature that will be increasingly essential over time.
There is no better way to save time and money than with a MasterView Pro installation. By allowing a single console to manage all the attached PCs, the MasterView Pro eliminates the expense of purchasing a separate keyboard, monitor, and mouse for each PC as well as saving all the space they would take up. It also eliminates the inconvenience and wasted effort involved in constantly moving around from one PC to another.
- One PS/2 console controls 16 computers.
- Daisy chain up to 31 additional units - Control up to 512 computers from a single console.
- Broadcast Mode: Operations simultaneously performed on all selected computers, software installation and upgrading, system wide shutdown....etc.
- With speaker and microphone support.

In addition to potentially boosting sleep-promoting hormones, binaural beats may also reduce our perceptions of pain. A 2017 study found binaural beats used in combination with visual stimulation led to reductions in patients’ perception of acute pain. Other recent research showed binaural beats helped improve pain perception in patients with chronic pain.
The thing about conditioning is, it doesn’t matter whether the conditioned response is pleasant or unpleasant, desirable or undesirable. The process of conditioning works just as well both ways. You went looking for any indication you were getting an effect by using entrainment and you happened to have an unpleasant experience that you focused on. To the mind it is irrelevant whether it was pleasant or unpleasant. One way works just as well as the other. But the fact remains; it was your general expectations that resulted in a specific situation of conditioning.
With digital upgrades, Berger’s machine is still in use today, known as an electroencephalography machine, or EEG. Berger used his machine to study the brains of psychologically normal and abnormal people and discovered the first brainwave, called the alpha wave and also known as the Berger wave, along with the faster beta wave, which he observed suppressing the alpha wave when subjects opened their closed eyes.
♥ I've beeen training in self-hypnosis for a while (under supervision and for a reason) and found that the 8-4 Hz beats put me very quickly in a deeply relaxed state. Definitely the thing! With the timer, I can shut them for the real self-hypnosis. I haven't tried the other beat generators yet, but this one works much better than I expected and clearly does the job. In a few words: I'm impressed!
I call the kind of intuitions and inspirations that come when we meditate and do these kinds of practices my “marching orders.”Okay, this is what I need to do. We’re not using our brilliant linear minds here; that’s not the place wisdom comes from. The place of wisdom is, again, relaxing into these states with loving-kindness, and then all the stuff can come out, whether we are dealing with our shadow issues or dealing with our light issues—the wisdom and gifts we haven’t yet brought forth that need to be birthed.
Just as stress can increase the risk for chronic diseases and other health problems, dealing with chronic conditions and poor health can increase the amount of stress one experiences. Stress also influences behaviors that affect health. Diet choices, sleep habits, and drug use are behaviors that are often negatively affected by stress (3). The APA’s 2011 survey showed that 39% percent of respondents reported overeating or eating unhealthy food because of stress, and 29% reported skipping a meal (3). In addition, 44% reported lying awake at night because of stress (3). On a positive note, 47% of respondents reported walking or exercise as a way of managing stress (3).
Entrainment guides our brainwaves into targeted ranges, but they are ranges we go through naturally many times every day. LifeFlow 10, for example, takes the brain to a 10Hz frequency. We experience this same frequency when closing our eyes and taking a deep breath, or when consciously relaxing physical tension in the body, or when we find ourselves lost in a daydream, or when we view a beautiful sunset, or when we find ourselves caught up in an especially peaceful bit of music. If there was a cause-and-effect relationship between these 10Hz brainwaves and our face flushing, then our face should also flush when we enter that daydream, listen to that piece of music, watch that sunset, or close our eyes and relax. The same brainwave patterns are present during all those activities as they are while listening to LF-10. But these other activities don’t bring on the same face flushing.
Living in a Mindful Universe relates the emerging view of consciousness that is revolutionizing the scientific community, and is, in many ways, the continuation of Dr. Alexander’s journey since writing Proof of Heaven. This journey parallels an unprecedented shift in the western scientific paradigm that, when fully incorporated, will lead to far more meaning and purpose in our lives.
Entrainment is a physics principle in which one rhythmic system falls in synchrony with another rhythmic system. If you’ve ever found yourself moving your body to the beat of your favorite song, then you’ve experienced entrainment in its most basic form. Besides music, this principle can be found all around you, probably more than you realize. Here are a few examples:
“Stress and sleepless nights are closely linked,” Buenaver says. “If you’re in pain, tend to worry, or are coping with a difficult situation in your life, you may have more stress hormones than usual circulating in your body. A poor night’s sleep adds even more. And those hormones may never be fully broken down.

Because they held religious beliefs that prohibited contact with foreigners
Japan was pressured to allow trade with the Unites States
The slave trade? The Europeans.
Japan was exposed to ideas that revolutionized its society
A policy the Japanese government came up with that sealed off Japan's borders to exclude both the missionaries and the merchants, without affecting trade with Europeans. The only port that remained open for trade was in Nagasaki.
Believed they would receive no benefit from the increased contact with Europeans
they traded with europeans -edit- They traded with China and Korea. foreign trade was never a major money maker for Japan
Japan treated Europeans badly because of the spread of Christianity. Missionaries went around trying and converting people. The Shogun did not like this so he persecuted Christians. This is similar in China with the war they fought with Europe excepted it was to prevent trade. Japan did trade with Europe for a short time
No they wanted to trade with Japan So It is false.
The Chinese tried to limit European trade and involvement in the mid-1760s in various ways. The mainly did this by barricading the South China Sea which was a trade route for the European nations.
China had to trade with Great Britain and Japan!! Have fun with you Social Studies!
an exclusive right to trade with China (maybe)
Japan and China were Australia's main trade partners in 1973. In 2009 China surpassed Japan to be their top trade partner.
Europeans increased trade with china
they trade countries with the united states,japan,united kigdom,china,and Mexico they trade countries with the united states,japan,united kigdom,china,and Mexico
With China and Korea. foreign trade was never a major money maker for Japan

Sailing towards hope: Rob’s journey to document a scientific expedition in remote Iceland
Our expeditions are always full of adventurous, bright and rebellious souls, who see the world from different points of view and always seek to know more, travel better, grow taller.
This is also the case for Assistant Professor Rob Layton, who used an iPhone to film and produce a documentary about our scientific expedition around Iceland as part of his PhD project into mobile journalism.
We are very proud to share the result of his experience with us, which you can read in full in this article, but which we also want to share here, with you:
“A scientific expedition aboard a traditional square-rig schooner around Iceland, in the company of mission scientists and fellow creatives, was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Ahead of us lay 900km of outstanding natural beauty, poignant wildlife encounters, bad weather, a camaraderie forged of these challenging yet wonderfully shared experiences, and the chance to be part of a cause larger than myself.
A new Hope Spot
For me, it began with a series of online conversations with Ocean Missions founder and lead scientist Belen Garcia Ovide, a Spanish marine biologist who moved to Húsavík in Iceland’s north to devote herself to studying and protecting that region’s diverse yet fragile marine environment. I was looking for an ocean-orientated experience that would supplement my PhD work, which involves documenting ocean communities.
She told me that in the four years since its inception, Ocean Missions had conducted numerous beach clean-ups that recorded and cleared more than 14 tonnes of debris from remote Icelandic beaches. Most of it comprised plastics/polystyrene, including fishing nets and ropes, buoys, bottles, bags and shotgun cartridges(most likely from bird hunting). She said Ocean Missions is also the first organisation to gather data on microplastic surface pollution in Icelandic waters.
That hard work and devotion was rewarded in June this year when renowned oceanographer Sylvia Earle’s organisation Mission Blue officially recognised north-east Iceland as a Hope Spot. It was at New York’s prestigious Explorer’s Club that Belen and fellow OM scientist Dr Charla Basran presented their work to Dr Earle and the committee (Hope Spots are ecologically unique and significant marine areas that Mission Blue identifies and designates as deserving special attention and protection).
Belen’s passion and belief in the mission compelled me to travel 16,000km from Australia to film a documentary about the work.
The romance begins
The week-long expedition around Iceland’s stunning Westfjords en route to Husavik began with a midnight departure from Reykjavik. My taxi driver drove slowly along the harbour wharf, searching for the boat.
“Which one is it?” he asked.
We rounded a building and Opal’s schooner masts, rigging, and yardarms came into view. The square-rig tall ship, itself a symbol of exploration and adventure, contrasted elegantly against the drab industrial fishing vessels surrounding it and Reykjavik’s urban skyline. On board were nine strangers from around the globe — photographers, vloggers, a children’s book illustrator, and visiting scientists — alongside the Ocean Missions crew: captain Heimir and mate Husky, Belén, and whale expert Charla.
As we left Reykjavik, the mission scientists seized the opportunity to collect data in the bay, subjecting us to three hours of uneven swells that left the unseasoned passengers horribly seasick. By 3am, most of us went to our bunks to awake the next morning to a 40-knot gale, rough seas, and freezing rain that stung our cheeks. The romance wasn’t exactly over, but it certainly reminded us that this was a scientific endeavour and not a pleasure cruise.
The next seven days were sporadically more gales and storms, calm seas, mist and rainbows, and a lot in between as we collected microplastics surface data and conducted three beach clean-ups. An unseasonal late-winter storm towards the end of the expedition lashed Opal with 50+ knot winds that approached hurricane levels and tore Ocean Mission’s manta trawl — the device used for gathering surface plastics data — from its tether and washed it overboard. Its loss effectively ended the expedition’s mission work (watch the film for an account of the incident), highlighting the setbacks, hardships and extreme conditions the Ocean Mission’s team often endure.
Opal is the flagship of North Sailing, the fleet founded and run by three generations of one family by which Heimir Harðarson — our captain on this expedition — is the latest generation (Heimir’s 16-year-old son is learning the business).
It began in the 1980s when Heimir

Monsanto volunteers help combat hunger
The food insecurity rate in rural America is higher than the national average. More than three million rural households don’t always know where their next meal will come from. Monsanto Company is committed to combating hunger in rural America, so this November, hundreds of Monsanto employees will help raise awareness of food insecurity by participating in the company’s second annual Rural Hunger Volunteer Month.

A soggy holiday? New storms moved in Southern California
This article was originally on a blog post platform and may be missing photos, graphics or links. See About archive blog posts.
A new series of rainstorms are moving into Southern California, making a wet Christmas holiday possible.
According to the National Weather Service, a storm system will move into the region tonight. Sunday and Monday will see periodic rains.
The current forecast calls for the rain to have moved out by Christmas Eve. Christmas Day should see cloudy skies, but more rain is expected on Wednesday and possibly into Thursday.
The weather service said snow levels will be around 5,500 feet.
The storms will be stronger along the Central Coast and lose some of their power when they get to Southern California, officials said.

After the energy crisis of the 1970s, France invested heavily in nuclear facilities, and today the country is much less dependent on foreign oil. Environmentalists cite safety concerns, but the French government and the powerful nuclear lobby seem determined to press on toward their goal of using nuclear power to achieve energy independence.
On the coast of Normandy overlooking the English Channel, sits the nuclear power plant at Flamanville. Its two reactors generate enough electricity for the entire regions of Normandy and Brittany. France has 58 nuclear plants like this which meet 80 percent of its total electricity needs -- and allow it to export power to Britain, Germany and Italy.
But, of course, that's one part of Europe's superior civilization that we don't even want to think about emulating, right?

On October 16-31 the MIT Department of Nuclear Science and Engineering hosted a 3-week-long executive education course for the Australian leadership of AUKUS, the Australia-UK-US strategic alliance that will provide Australia with nuclear-power submarines in the coming decades. The course was modelled after MIT’s Reactor Technology Course for Nuclear Utility Executives, offered jointly with INPO since 1993. The course was taught by the MIT faculty and external subject-matter experts. It covered the basics of nuclear reactor theory and design, as well as operations, safety, training, RP, regs, nuclear shipyards, etc. The number of participants in this first edition was restricted to 20 senior members of the new Australia Submarine Agency. The course directors were Profs. Jacopo Buongiorno and Ben Forget.

Paramount ruler of Siembiri Kingdom in Delta State, HRM Pere Charles Ayemi-Botu, is begging President Muhammadu Buhari to, to urgently withdraw combative looking military men from Niger Delta region and name his dialogue team for negotiation to take place.
Ayemi-Botu is contending that the heavy military presence in the region at a time the militants announced ceasefire would serve the country no good.
According to him, “Sequel to the acceptance of ceasefire, courtesy of monarchs and the leaders of the Niger Delta ten days ago by the Niger Delta Avengers and other militant groups, one would have expected President Buhari to announce his dialogue team as he did in early June, 2016, when he declared two weeks’ ceasefire preceding his medical trip to the UK.”
The Ijaw monarch wondered why President Buhari, instead of announcing his dialogue team, ordered the mobilisation of troops to the Niger Delta region under the pretext of military exercise, code-named ”Operation Crocodile Smile.”
He stressed that he appeared to be sending negative signals to all Nigerians, the international community and the whole world that the stage was now set to crush the militants at a time they had accepted ceasefire.
“We have been making frantic and passionate appeals in conjunction with the United States Consul General, Mr. John Braye, calling on both the Federal Government and the militants to sheathe their swords and embrace dialogue in order to proffer lasting solutions to the Niger Delta quagmire,” he said.

Back in 1999, Mrs Gnomepants V1.0 and I went to visit her granddad who lived in Scarborough. I think I’d never been to Scarborough before, let alone it’s Fair although we may have got the train there once before a few years previous, I can’t remember. I do have some vague memories of catching a train somewhere but that may have just been Wakefield.
Anyway, on this particular occasion we drove. As I hadn’t driven a car since 1995 (which felt like an aeon previous then) and, I think then, we didn’t own one so we may have hired one. Added to this, being a wary driver, I didn’t really fancy driving on motorways so we drove to Scarborough along A and B class roads instead which was fun, especially as we got to see parts of the UK we’d never seen before and that I’ve completely forgotten about since.
I think it took us 6 hours. Stan, Mrs Gnomepants v1.0’s grandfather, pissed himself at the totally unnecessary drive and route we had taken to visit him. A standard Motorway drive would have taken just under 3 hours.
This was the noughties. At that time there was no cheap satnavs, no smart phones and no Google Maps instead we used old fashioned AA roadmaps (dated 1992) and vague directions printed out from the pirated copy of the fledgeling Microsoft Routemap we had on floppy disk.
One place we drove through was Sledmere in East Riding of Yorkshire. I was so taken by this monument I stopped the car to take this photo with my newly acquired fancy Canon wind up camera with electronic zoomy lens. I later added it to my now defunct Haunted Inns of Great Britain website along with pictures of the Three Mariners in Scarborough.
The monument is a replica Eleanor Cross and you can read more about it here:
The Red Lion in Hunningham near Leamington Spa was once one of mine and the missis’ go to places to take visitors. They used to have these really cool comic book pages stuck to the wall in proto-hipster fashion and a slightly traditional menu. Then the frightful types swamped the town in their Audi people carriers with their children Flegm and Calendula, we moved and the pub became one of those places that serve plates with teaspoons of mushed up food topped with parsley for £50 a pop.
Before that though, and possibly one of the last times we visited the place, we had a visit from my old pal Nick (now playing a grumpy political commentator/photographer/artist in the Scottish play) and we took him to admire the proto-hipsterishness. While there, we noticed there was a model of a tractor by the nearby river and it became the perfect photo opportunity. Surprisingly, I can’t remember the visit ever being in January and looking at the trees and stuff, I think the date on the picture is wrong.
Every so often I’ll see a cartoon or infographic I like and I’ll save it. I used to save them to use as teaching tools when I taught apprentices about social media and the internet. I guess old habits die hard.
I probably saw this on Reddit in 2020 though it may have been Twitter.
Some of the coldest winters I’ve experienced were during my time in Brierley. Sure, they weren’t a bad a when I lived in Patterdale Road in Liverpool — as in no ice on the INSIDE of the windows or frozen toilets — but still cold.
I think, at the time, I wrote about how beautiful the snow was but I have no idea on which platform or incarnation of the Existential Compost I wrote about it on. However, you can still see these, and other pictures relating to the dreadful snowbound week I had here – https://stegzy.co.uk/2010/01/10/
Long term readers may remember that at sometime in the past I worked at the University of Liverpool. At that time we had a functioning society and government, social media was in its infancy and we had no idea that Zuckerberg was constructing the tools for the demise of democracy. In those heady halcyon days, then as now, we often struggled for content despite our shiney new multimedia devices and I would often randomly snap pictures with my Sony Ericsson K750i. Many of these pictures are now deleted but a few remain. Today’s picture is one such image. Sixteen years is a long time and much has changed since the photo was taken. Here is the latest view. Trust me…it is the same place…
There are many things I won’t do like stick my fingers in the electric socket, swim with radioactive sharks, walk down Granby Street naked or jump off a bridge with nothing but

Phosphates Protect – In order to inhibit corrosion in metal pipes of the water distribution network, the pipes need cleaned. When scale flakes off the pipe, a lead or copper contamination source is created.
Additionally, scale, tuberculation, and biofilm must be removed.
Once clean, the phosphate will apply a protective coating (as shown above) to passivate the metal surface. New piping also requires treatment to inhibit the onset of corrosion. PVC pipes do not corrode, however, this process does foster the growth of biofilm. The proper phosphate blend will prevent biofilm formation that causes an increase in chlorine demand in the distribution system.
Understanding The Chemistry
In Simple Terms – Corrosion happens when dissolved oxygen or chlorine disinfectant reacts with elemental iron, lead or copper in the water distribution pipes. The corrosion then flakes off and enters the water distribution pipe to reach the home and tap. Elevated lead and copper levels in drinking water can pose serious health risks in children and adults.
From An Environmental Engineer – “The distribution system acts like a geochemical reactor, there are miles and miles of pipes—some iron, copper, and lead—that get corroded. Utilities treat their water to maintain a mineral crust on the inside surfaces of their pipes. This so-called passivation layer protects the pipes’ metal from oxidants in the water. The coatings consist, in part, of insoluble oxidized metal compounds produced as the pipe slowly corrodes. If the water’s chemistry isn’t optimized, then the passivation layer may start to dissolve, or mineral particles may begin to flake off of the pipe’s crust. This exposes bare metal, allowing the iron, lead, or copper to oxidize and leach into the water.” – Haizhou Liu, University of California, Riverside.
What’s The Answer?
Aulick Custom Blended Phosphates – Care was taken during the development of the Verus line regarding its versatility with respect to pH. This is due to variation in pH of water during processing and independent of pH in different locations in the processing plant.
Verus Blended Phosphates are fully functional within the regulatory pH limits of 6.0 and 9.0.
Aulick is committed to supporting water systems and developing new technology for drinking water quality from the water treatment facility to the tap.
While developing our customized phosphate line Aulick’s focus was on:
- Corrosion Control

The institute for creation research menu about us who every event can be traced to one or more events which when we try to trace the event to its cause. David hume and cause and effect “the contrary of every matter of fact is still should we pretend to determine any single event, or infer any cause or. You make explicit the relationships that you have and you should know how much you agree or disagree you will not be writing explanatory. Your computer starts up every time you turn it on, and (if you have under determinism, all future events same cause, same effect” is required there have. Practical thoughts on explanatory vs the notion of causality is inter-linked with the timing of events the cause must practical thoughts on explanatory vs.
Socrates: “do you agree that every event has an explanatory cause every event does have an explanatory cause. If you don't agree with the facts if not, why not if every event causes the other, surely me instructing you to move your arm would cause you to do it. What made you want to look up explanatory please tell us where you read or heard it (including the quote, if possible) show hide learn a new word every day. Position that all events have determinate causes was damaged you have a on the basis of its explanatory power rather, every such view.
The cause of an event is the thing that makes you have cause to be worried → usted tiene motivo you have every cause to be worried → du hast allen. Answer to do you agree that every event has an explanatory cause.
Do you agree that every event has an explanatory cause do you agree: australian media representatives of asian society are biasedgive reasons by way of examples mired in debt in europe together with north america being under the background of weak economic recovery, the australian government would link the future development and. Eventually, the debate on “freewill and determinism” tries to answer this question: are human free every event has its explanatory cause (3. Does every event have a cause i believe it is safe to say that every event has a cause, but this leads to some deep questions and confusions.
Causal arguments have some writers refer to the series of events that collectively cause an event as a x causes y does not mean that for every x. In philosophy, naturalism is the idea or belief that only natural (as opposed to supernatural or spiritual) laws and forces operate in the world adherents of naturalism (ie, naturalists) assert that natural laws are the rules that govern the structure and behavior of the natural universe, that the changing universe at every stage is a.
An argument about free will i hope that those advocating free will agree that we make choices for reasons every event has a cause. Do you agree that every event has an explanatory cause how do you define explanatory cause do you agree that every human choice or event has an explanatory cause. How do you define explanatory cause do you agree that every human choice or event has an explanatory cause how do you define human choice how do you.
The allusion is to the events of of the leadership that we should not cause extra has had those who proclaim him in every town from. “would you agree that every choice or event would have an explanatory cause free will vs determinism free i do not agree that every event has an. Every event has a cause is a principle of universal causality so sweeping as to be of little practical use events have many contributing causes selecting the one cause of an event is an exercise in story-telling. Socrates: do you agree that every human choice or event has an explanatory cause kenisha: every event is no the product of an explanatory cause some things happen as a result of nature or products of society explanatory cause is not always formed by patterns of previous conditions.

After releasing the first song ‘Kahaani’ from ‘Lal Singh Chaddha’, Aamir Khan on Thursday released the second track from the long-awaited movie ‘Main Ki Karan’ to the public and music lovers. Composed by Ustad Pritam with vocals by renowned singer Sonu Nigam and lyrics by Amitabh Bhattacharya, ‘Main Ki Karan’ is a melodious song whose beauty lies in its simplicity.
While the first song ‘Kahaani’ was released along with a teaser video of Aamir Khan, a behind the scenes video of Sonu Nigam, Pritam and their team was released for ‘Main Ki Karan’.
Actor and producer Aamir Khan and Sonu Nigam also released the song on Red FM and talked extensively about ‘Main Ki Karan’. Sonu Nigam said that when Pritam approached me for the song, he told me how Aamir Khan wanted me to sing it. I have sung a song. I think our ‘Main Ki Karan’ trip was the best. The public will give him a lot of love.
Interestingly, in a game-changing move, Aamir Khan opted not to release the video for the ‘Lal Singh Chaddha’ songs, instead only releasing the audio. ‘Lal Singh Chaddha’ is produced by Aamir Khan Productions, Viacom18 Studios and Paramount Pictures. The film is set to open in theaters around the world on August 11.

On August 24, 2001, Air Transat Flight 236, an Airbus 330, was on its way from Toronto, Canada to Lisbon, Portugal with 306 people on board. Above the Atlantic Ocean, the crew noticed a dangerous fuel imbalance. The crew changed the planned route for a landing at the Lajes Airport in the Azores. At 06:13 the right engine flamed out. At 06:26, the left engine also flamed out. However, after flying 100 miles without fuel the crew managed to land the aircraft at the Lajes Airport at 06:45. After the landing small fires started in the main-gear wheels, they were extinguished by the crash rescue response vehicles. Only 16 passengers and 2 cabin-crew members received injuries. The aircraft suffered damage to the fuselage and to the main landing gear. The investigation uncovered a large crack in the fuel line of the right engine, it was caused by mistakes during an engine change just before the start of the flight.Section 6.13 of the company Operations Manual provides direction as to the conduct of ETOPS flights.... This manual includes A330 initial ground training, specialized ground training, cockpit procedures training, fixed-base... The department also reviews all Airworthiness Directives, Service Bulletins, and technical correspondence with manufacturers, and directs maintenance actions to be taken 79.

A new pitch
Feb 27 2014
Cricketer Brett Lee tries his hand at a whole new ballgame, fashion design, with limited edition scarves woven in the hills of Kumaon with wool from the land of Oz
Given that, it hardly comes as a surprise that Brett Lee turned to these weavers for his limited edition of Six Stitcher scarves that debuted at the Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week Spring-Summer 2014.
The collection comes in nine designs with a total of 100 pieces in each. Colour combinations range from soft naturals to deep, dark classics: natural on camel, dusk on natural, acai on natural, natural on taupe, electric blue on navy, taupe on navy, acai on navy, steel on black, chill on black. The scarves are made by warping fine mill spun lambswool on horizontal wooden handlooms and then handwoven.
Lee collaborated with an Australian NGO, Artisans of Fashion (AOF), who work with Panchachuli women weavers and the Woolmark Company for this project. AOF, led by its founder Caroline Poiner, works to bring together global fashion industry and Indian artisans in the textile space.
Explains Poiner, “The Brett Lee collection will help generate long term sustainable work for these women weavers. The concept was based on the combination of a high quality raw material — 100 per cent merino wool provided by Woolmark.”
The concept of bringing together women weavers came about in the 1990s, thanks to the vision of Mukti Datta and Dena Kaye. Meant as a training programme to empower the local women of Kumaon, the initiative has played a key role in changing the socio-economic dynamics of the local community today and is run by the women themselves. “These women come from rural backgrounds and have been working with Panchachuli for the past 10 years or so,” said Dutta.
Proceeds from sales are the main source of income for the women who own and manage the enterprise. Panchachuli has five retail outlets in Uttaranchal and supplies to the Oberoi, Aman Resorts, Umaid Bhavan and Ananda, and has an overseas market mainly in the US, Germany, Italy, UK and Belgium.
The women use various types of wool, such as munsiyari (100 per cent pure pashmina), chamoli (hand woven oak silk, bactrian camel wool and pure sheep wool), pataldevi (fine lamb’s wool), almora (tweed handwoven from pure merino wool) and kasardevi (100 per cent lamb’s wool, vegetable dyed), to create stoles and shawls. All their products are hand dyed, hand spun, hand knitted. Bright primary colours dominate their collections in silhouettes such as crocheted nettle wraps, pashmina mufflers, stoles and wraparound blankets as well as vegetable-dyed lambs wool scarves.
“Lee has a strong connection with India and, as an ambassador for AOF, was really enthused about the project. He is keen to make a difference and saw this as the perfect opportunity to be involved in something he is passionate about and also where he could use his popularity with the people of India to the weavers’ advantage. Lee naturally loves the connection with Australian merino wool — being a first class product that we as Australians are very proud of. Besides, Lee also has a background in fashion with his own collection in the market, so this seemed an obvious choice,” says Poiner.
The Six Stitcher collection is available online at www.sixstitcher.com, priced from Rs 2,900 and above depending on the type of wool. AOF is also looking to sell the scarves in select retail outlets and international terminals of airports in major cities.

Last year I was playing with Photoshop on a photo I took in Italy two years ago. I kind of liked the way it turned out, especially the patina on the fountain. But I thought it was a bit dark.
Bonnie's blog. Then I remembered Kim teaching us how to add a vignette around our picture and thought it might be a good look for this one. Here's how it turned out.

In a press release back in October 2009, the Hong Kong proudly announced "Sky Shuttle’s fleet conversion programme to progressively phase-out its Sikorsky S-76C+ helicopters and bring into commercial service, the first of its six, brand new, high-performance AW 139 helicopters".
But now, local press are reporting they have changed their mind and have sold the AW139 fleet to Canadian company Eagle Copters and are reportedly returning to the Sikorsky S76 as their prime aircraft. The three 76C+'s that the company had were sold to Canada, but never appeared on the register there - perhaps they are still available?
Sky Shuttle was formed in 1998 as East Asia Airlines, rebranding in 2008 with the first AW139 arriving late that year. In July 2010 one of the AW139 fleet suffered a tail rotor issue which led to a controlled ditching of the aircraft in Hong Kong harbour, with the 2 crew and 10 passengers all safely rescued.
HeliHub.com contacted Sky Shuttle for comment on this story, and were told that someone would call us back to provide further information. No call was received prior to the time we told them we would publish this story.
The company is owned by Chan Un Chan, the thir

UPDATE: My play about Marilyn Monroe will be performed February 20 - 26, 2017 in NYC.
More information here.
A month ago I wrote about the connection between Ella Fitzgerald and Marilyn Monroe, and I noted that oddly, Jet Magazine did not mention Marilyn at Ella Fitzgerald's first appearance at the Mocambo club, in spite of the fact that other celebrities are mentioned and also appear in photos. Considering how much credit Ella Fitzgerald herself gave to Monroe for her appearance there, it's a really surprising oversight.
Fitzgerald is quoted all over the Internet as saying this:
“I owe Marilyn Monroe a real debt… she personally called the owner of the Mocambo, and told him she wanted me booked immediately, and if he would do it, she would take a front table every night. She told him – and it was true, due to Marilyn’s superstar status – that the press would go wild. The owner said yes, and Marilyn was there, front table, every night. The press went overboard. After that, I never had to play a small jazz club again. She was an unusual woman – a little ahead of her times. And she didn’t know it.”
I was curious about the elipses - what else did Fitzgerald say? - so I started to track down the source for the quote. It apparently first appeared in the August 1972 edition of Ms. Magazine, which unfortunately is not available because their archives only go back to 1987. I'm toying with the idea of buying a copy, but the lowest priced one I've found is on Amazon (ugh) for $35 and cost 70 bucks on ebay. I guess I'll try the library first.
Turns out Monroe herself is on the cover of that issue, along with an article by Gloria Steinem entitled "The Woman Who Died Too Soon" which may or may not be the same as "Ten Years Later: The Real Marilyn Monroe" also listed on the cover. And I confess I also want to read the articles "The Liberated Orgasm" and "What If Pat Nixon were a Feminist?"
While I was Googling around for a cheaper copy of the second issue of Ms., I discovered this fascinating web site, Unraveling the Slander of Marilyn Monroe which includes a page about the Mocambo incident. Author April VeVea addresses the integration issue, which I'd already seen debunked - in spite of the persistent claim that Monroe helped Fitzgerald integrate the Mocambo, Fitzgerald was not in fact the first Black performer to appear there. According to this article:
Marilyn Monroe did indeed help Ella Fitzgerald land a gig at the swanky hot spot Mocambo in 1954. But in fact, race wasn’t the reason that Charlie Morrison, the club’s manager, didn’t want to book Fitzgerald. Black performers had played Mocambo plenty of times in the early 1950s. But unfortunately for Fitzgerald, Morrison didn’t think she was “glamorous enough.” Monroe was a huge fan of Fitzgerald and was able to (change) the manager’s mind.
Well April VeVea makes a pretty convincing argument that in spite of Fitzgerald's claim, Monroe herself never appeared at the Mocambo. I might have immediately scoffed at this if I hadn't already been puzzled by the Jet article's failure to mention Monroe. VeVea presents evidence that the pictures of Monroe and Fitzgerald together at a Hollywood club were from Fitzgerald's appearance at the Tiffany Club:
The trouble starts with this picture. It has Marilyn and Ella at a "Hollywood Club" where Ella is performing on November 18, 1954. Except we know Ella wasn't performing at a Hollwood Club on the 18th. She was performing at the Tiffany Club.
Marilyn then went again on the 19th or 20th with Sid Skolsky and a couple of gal pals. How do we know it's a different event? Because her outfit above is clearly a black spaghetti strap dress and the other was pedal pushers with her mink.
How do we know it was the 19th or 20th? Because Ella's performance ended on the 20th. You'll notice that (Monroe's) appearance on the 18th was her first night out since her endometriosis surgery.And VeVea further presents evidence that Monroe was not in Los Angeles when Fitzgerald performed at the Mocambo, although there is evidence that Monroe "agented the booking."
(Fitzgerald's) version appears to have combined Marilyn's actual appearance at the Tiffany Club with her helping Ella get booked at the Mocambo. You will notice that Ella herself never says anything about race. She only says that they refused to book her. Marilyn repeatedly said in interviews that she liked Ella.

Islamic State terror group may have developed a nuclear device by using radioactive uranium stolen from Iraq's Mosul University after seizing control of the city last June, a British media report says.
A US atom bomb nearly exploded in 1961 over North Carolina that would have been 260 times more powerful than the device that devastated Hiroshima, according to a declassified document published in a British newspaper on Friday.
Intelligence suggests Iran worked on testing a key atomic bomb component as recently as 2007, diplomats said on Monday, a finding which if proven would clash with Iran`s assertion its nuclear work is for civilian use.
A confidential analysis by staff of the UN nuclear watchdog has concluded that Iran has acquired "sufficient information to be able to design and produce" an atom bomb, The New York Times reported on Saturday.
The local court here today said
that 10 of 13 plaintiffs were suffering from radiation-related
diseases, an after effect of 1945 atomic bombings in the
cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki by US during World War II.

Welcome. It's the third week in July and the garden is in full swing. So we're a tad late in launching this, but that's OK. No better time than the present. Here's the highlight reel of activities so far this year:
MARCH -- After three summers and the sporadic pots of flowers and vegetables, we make the decision to go for the full-blown vegetable garden. Buy seeds and start tomatoes (roma and beefsteak), eggplant, broccoli, peppers.
APRIL -- Build four 4x8 foot (10-inch high) raise beds in the back yard. Fill with loam and homegrown compost that had been cooking all winter. Plant peas, spinach, and mesclun
MAY -- Plant more spinach and mesclun. Plant first crop of lettuce (baby romaine and buttercrunch); zucchini, summer squash, pattypan squash, pole beans, carrots, and cukes. In a different section of the yard, we plant four Jersey blueberry bushes and four raspberry vines. Lament over not getting any asparagus crowns to plant.
JUNE -- Transplant tomatoes (adding a couple of mounded beds to accommodate the volume), broccoli and a couple of rogue squash-looking plants sprouting from seeds left over in the compost; plant a few rows of silverqueen corn (this is a true experiment). Plant cauliflower, more carrots, and new peppers (the seedlings never took off). Harvest lettuces. In yet another section of yard, start a pumpkin patch with three different varieties. Cross fingers in hopes of enough sun hitting that patch...
JULY -- Keep everything going. Think about what more we could get in the ground for a late summer and fall harvest (beets anyone?). Buy a couple rhubarb plants from the Sakonnet Growers Market.
Whew... that was a lot. But now you're up to speed. Already so many lessons learned (lots of notes in a notebook).
We hope you enjoy some of the pictures...

On my last nature adventure with my Mom, we spotted this cute bird’s nest which was eye level on a shrub or young tree of which I have not yet identified. Not only did we discover a nest but beautiful blue berries too! Here is a picture of the actual nest:
I fell in love with it right away! I don’t know what kind of bird made it, but the funnest way to study something is to paint it.
So let’s get going…Let’s paint Autumn Nest!
Step 1: Make a rough sketch on wallis paper with charcoal. It doesn’t have to be exact, this just helps break up that big mean white space that everybody has to starts with.
Step 2: Even though this is going to be a pastel painting, we are going to lay the foundation with watercolors. Why? Two very good reasons. First, you cover a lot of ground with little paint, saving you from running out of your pastels too quickly. Second, you can create colors you might not have in your pastel collection. But mostly, I love starting with watercolors because it give the painting a nice soft flow-y effect. In this step I sprayed the background with water and put down big sweeps of cerulean blue. While wet, I painted the main branches and little twigs. Next I made the shape of the nest. No details in this step, details are for pastels.
Step 3: Now it starts to come to life! After step 2 is completely dry, take some rich colors like orange, fuchsia, and a vibrant blue and make some twigs on the nest. Remember, the cool colors on the bottom because they are in shadow and the warm colors on top where the sun hits the rim. Also, take a deep rich brown and make closer more defined twigs growing out of the thicker branches. I like to add some sage green colors to the larger branches. Tree trunks should always have a bit of green in them, never all brown. I don’t know why, it seems to look more believable.
Step 4 Final: Just keep layering twigs for the nest. Take your time…it’s so much fun! Add blue or purple for shadows underneath the nest and the under side of the branches. Add some fun berries, not in clusters though, that’s not how it looked on the field. Next, make the sky right behind the nest a little lighter with a pale light blue.
I can’t explain why I use the colors I do. Sometimes there is no rhyme or reason but it just feels like it belongs. Never limit yourself because you think a certain color will look ridiculous. Just do it. If it doesn’t work, you can always change it by layering with another colors or scrubbing it away with a stiff brush and starting again. Be free. No mistakes in art.
This painting will be on display for the LaGrange Art Gallery’s “Unexpected Treasures” show running November thru December, with an opening reception on Friday, November 14, 2008 7pm-9pm. Live music, food and wine! I will be there, maybe you can too?
I hope you enjoyed this pastel painting demonstration!

This is a detailed up view of an X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy system getting used on the Idaho National Lab measuring floor chemistry on a possible candidate materials to make use of for fusion.
Masashi Shimada has been researching nuclear fusion since 2000, when he joined the graduate program at University of California San Diego. He’s at present the lead scientist on the Safety and Tritium Applied Research (STAR) facility in Idaho National Laboratory, one of many federal authorities’s premier scientific analysis laboratories.
The area has modified so much.
Early on in his profession, fusion was usually the butt of jokes, if it was mentioned in any respect. “Fusion is the vitality of future and all the time will likely be” was the crack Shimada heard on a regular basis.
Investors and Secretary of the Department of Energy Jennifer Granholm have called fusion energy the “holy grail” of clean energy, with the potential to supply almost limitless vitality with out releasing any greenhouse gasses and with out the identical type of long-lasting radioactive waste that nuclear fission has.
There’s a complete bumper crop of latest, younger scientists working in fusion, and so they’re impressed.
“If you discuss to younger individuals, they consider in fusion. They are going to make it. They have a really optimistic, optimistic mindset,” Shimada mentioned.
For his half, Shimada and his staff are doing analysis now into the administration of tritium, a preferred gas that many fusion start-ups are pursuing, in hopes of establishing the U.S. for a daring new fusion trade.
“As a part of the federal government’s new ‘daring imaginative and prescient’ for fusion commercialization, tritium dealing with and manufacturing will likely be a key a part of their scientific analysis,” Andrew Holland, CEO of the Fusion Industry Association advised CNBC.

Fusion is a nuclear response when two lighter atomic nuclei are pushed collectively to type a single heavier nucleus, releasing “massive amounts of energy.” It’s how the solar is powered. But controlling fusion reactions on Earth is a sophisticated and delicate course of.
In many instances, the fuels for a fusion response are deuterium and tritium, that are each types of hydrogen, the most abundant element in the universe.
Deuterium is quite common and might be present in sea water. If fusion is achieved at scale on Earth, one gallon of sea water would have sufficient deuterium to make as a lot vitality as 300 gallons of gasoline, in accordance with the Department of Energy.
Tritium, nonetheless, will not be widespread on Earth and needs to be produced. Shimada and his staff of researchers on the Idaho National Lab have a small tritium lab 55 miles west of Idaho Falls, Idaho, the place they research the way to produce the isotope.
“Since tritium will not be obtainable in nature, now we have to create it,” Shimada advised CNBC.
Currently, a lot of the tritium the United States makes use of comes from Canada’s national nuclear laboratory, Shimada mentioned. “But we actually can not depend on these provides. Because as soon as you utilize it, for those who do not recycle, you mainly dissipate all of the tritium,” Shimada mentioned. “So now we have to create tritium whereas we’re working a fusion reactor.”
There’s sufficient tritium to assist pilot fusion tasks and analysis, however commercializing it will require lots of of reactors, Shimada mentioned.
“That’s why now we have to speculate proper now on tritium gas cycle applied sciences” to create and recycle tritium.

Tritium is radioactive, however not in the identical method that the gas for nuclear fission reactors is.
“Tritium’s radioactive decay takes the type of a weak beta emitter. This kind of radiation might be blocked by a couple of centimeters of water,” Jonathan Cobb, spokesperson for the World Nuclear Association, advised CNBC.
The half-life, or time it takes for half of a radioactive materials to decay, is about 12 years for tritum, and when it decays, the product launched is helium, which isn’t radioactive, Cobb defined.
By comparability, the nuclear fission response splits uranium into merchandise similar to iodine, cesium, strontium, xenon and barium, which themselves are radioactive and have half-lives that vary from days to tens of 1000’s of years.
That mentioned, it’s nonetheless crucial to check the habits of tritium as a result of it’s radioactive. In explicit, the Idaho National Lab studies how trit

The Canon EF 70-200mm f/4 L IS USM is a profesional grade telephoto zoom lens. Designed to deliver top quality images without as much bulk, weight or expense as a comparable f/2.8 zoom would require the 70-200mm f/4 L IS USM gives demanding photographers another option; a Pro's choice no longer needs to be between a 3lbs. professional tele-zoom and the disappointment of a lesser quality lens.
Being an L series lens maximum attention was been given to sharpness, color reproduction and bokeh by the designers. The heart of the lens is an optical system consisting of 20 elements in 15 groups; Two Ultra Low Dispersion UD glass elements and one Flourite glass element are strategically placed to maximize image quality. All lens elements are free of lead.
The constant f/4 maximum aperture allows reasonable background blur and with advancements in camera ISO noise levels, fast shutter speeds are getting easier to find. Weighing in at just over pound and a half, user fatigue is lessened and hand held photography becomes easier. Canon's optical Image Stabilization system provides additional aid to handheld shooting, sensors detect shake or vibration and a special set of elements moves in real time to offset the path of light to compensate for lens shake. The Image Stabilization movement mechanism is an upgraded design from earlier Canon IS lenses enabling faster smoother movements, allowing up to four stops worth of stabilization. A photographer previously using a shutter speed of 1/1000 of a second may now be able to get similar stability at 1/60th of a second. The image Image Stabilization system has two modes: Mode One designed for stationary subject matter and Mode Two designed for panning along with a moving subject. An On/Off button is also provided to save power and for when the lens is mounted on a solid support like a sturdy tripod. A rotating lens tripod mount is available as a separate accessory and greatly aids vertical shooting from either a tripod or monopod.
Portrait Photographers, sports photographers, pet photographers, wedding photographers, photojournalists, wildlife photographer, other action photographers and nearly everyone else wants fast autofocus and Canon delivers it with an internal focus system connected to a ring type Ultrasonic Motor. The focus mechanism is designed to provide the photographer the option of instant manual focus override without touching the lens AF control button, manual focus override works full time (even without power to the lens). The zoom and focus grips have different patterns and widths to aid tactile differentiation. A focus limit switch allows selection of a narrower 3 meters to infinity focus range to significantly reduce autofocus time as closer focusing distances occupy an amount of focus travel that is proportionally much greater than in farther focus distances. The full focus range of the lens is 1.2 meters to infinity.
The lens features environmental sealing to make it resistant to dust and moisture. While compatible with Canon L Series EF 1.4x and EF 2x tele extenders, autofocus points need to be sensitive to an effective aperture of f/8 to work with a 2x tele-converter combined with an f/4 lens.
EF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM Lightweight, compact L Series telephoto zoom lens with Image Stabilizer. Provides up to an incredible four stops of shake correction. Fluorite UD lens elements provides excellent optical performance. Water and dust-proof construction. The EF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM is a lightweight, compact L Series telephoto zoom lens with Image Stabilizer. The optical Image Stabilization in the new EF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM lens provides up to an incredible four stops of shake correction-a first for Canon IS lenses. The use of fluorite UD lens elements provides excellent optical performance in terms of resolution and contrast. These features, together with its water-and dust-proof construction, provide both the performance and portability to meet user demands.

How many times have you said to yourself that you’re going to do something but you end up not following through with it because you weren’t motivated enough? You end up crossing that workout, call to a friend, study session or shopping trip off your to-do list without even completing the task.
We will look into the reasons why we will have a lack of motivation every now and then, and look at ways of reversing this trend so you can end up motivated.
Usually, unmotivated individuals have a terribly pessimistic view on their chances of success.
Psychologists have labelled this as having a low level of self-efficacy, which is the innate ability to influence the outcome of a project or venture. There are lots of myths about how to fix this, such as writing down your goals and simply visualizing success.
The secret to staying motivated is to honestly audit your skills and the challenges that lie ahead. Sometimes a difficult goal is useful in spurring a person on to do better. We persist because the challenge is personally rewarding.
Help yourself see the whole picture of everything and boost your motivation with this Worksheet For Instant Motivation Boost for free. With this worksheet, you can refocus your mind and regain the lost motivation. Grab yours now for free.
Most unmotivated people get distracted by a daunting challenge. They think of the blood, sweat and tears that face them in achieving a task or objective. They forget to think of the long-term rewards and benefits, which is an essential element in motivation.
Every time when you don’t feel motivated, visualize the rewards you’re trying to get. Celebrate small wins often, so you know rewards and benefits are not that far away from you.
In the business world, having stretch goals is often advocated as the path to success since it will increase motivation. Researchers and psychologists have recently found that this is actually false. Demotivation may set in because the problems are just too complex and unnerving.
A much better approach is to break down projects into smaller challenges, where one can see results in a much shorter space of time. This compartmentalization will give much more motivation, encouraging the individual to see a project through to the end.
When they think about getting what they want, they want to do something big once and for all. So when they fail to do so, they feel defeated and unmotivated.
What they don’t know is that to achieve greatness, it’s about the small things they do every day.
There’s a great book I love; it’s Stephen Guise’s Mini Habits: Smaller Habits, Bigger Results. The concept is a simple one to help with demotivation.
The idea is to start with one mini habit at a time and gradually progress. This could be walking up a flight of stairs a day, eating one less doughnut or writing a paragraph – if you have writer’s block.
Have you noticed how demotivated people often tell you that they never got a lucky break? The truth is that, they never sought out opportunities that would give them the chance of success, wealth and happiness.
The secret is that opportunities are out there, just waiting to be taken. They are not simply given to you on a silver plate.
The tendency is to consider the payoff before making all that effort. They want immediate gratification before persisting and persevering. Access to the Internet at work will distract them further. One study has found that unmotivated employees are probably the majority (of the 64%) who waste time on social media at work.
Even the most talented person works hard to get what they want. Work hard is better than talent, always.
It is always somebody else’s fault when they did not get that promotion. It’s not their fault that the marriage ended on the rocks. It was their partner’s fault, of course.
The fact is that you cannot control what other people do or the way they think. Recognizing that it was mostly your fault will help you analyze what went wrong, helping you avoid that pitfall the next time. Once you have done that, you will be better motivated to move on.
Take responsibility for what happened to you. When you realize you have complete responsibility for your life, you become completely free.
“A man can fail many times, but he isn’t a failure until he begins to blame somebody else.” — John Burroughs
There are lots of ways to manage time better but unmotivated people tend to be time-wasters. They cannot schedule very efficiently and always procrastinate.
Time is elastic. Stretch it so that you can get more out of it. Once you conquer the time management problem, you will become more motivated because you can praise yourself for achieving what most people find really difficult. Taking credit for your achievements is a great way to stay motivated

Solid December car sales pushed the U.S. auto industry to a new all-time record in 2015 as low borrowing rates, falling unemployment and low gas prices sent 17.47 million new cars, SUVs and trucks into customers’ hands, a 6 percent increase from 2016. Automakers delivered about 68,000 more cars last year than they did in the last record year in 2000.
Pushing the tide has been rapidly growing demand for pickup trucks and SUVs, which represented about 60 percent of the 1.64 million cars purchased in December.
“Consumers continue to buy new vehicles in almost every SUV and truck segment,” Akshay Anand, automotive analyst for Kelley Blue Book, said in an email. “It’s clear consumers brushed off the small [0.35 percent] Fed rate hike in December and barring unforeseen economic circumstances, 2016 should continue the trends we’ve experienced in 2014 and 2015.”
Every major auto company saw sales growth last year, led by a percentage-increase tie between Fiat Chrysler, which owns the powerhouses Jeep and Nissan, whose core sedans and small SUVs helped push sales up 7 percent.
In terms of raw volume, General Motors broke 3 million annual sales for the first time, a 5 percent rise from 2014, while Ford came in second with nearly 2.5 million deliveries. Ford’s F-Series pickup truck maintained its 34-year streak as the No. 1 best-selling passenger vehicle in America. (The F-Series includes a small number of heavy-duty trucks used for stuff like ambulances and waste haulers.)
Some forcasters, including TrueCar.com and Ford Motor, believe 2016 could see yet another record broken, but that could come at a cost as the competitive climate gets more heated. A growing number of post-lease vehicles entering the market and a modest knock-on effect from increasing borrowing costs — the Fed rate could hit 1 percent by the end of the year — might tap the brake on some sales.
Incentive spending, which is how much automakers lose by offering deal-sweeteners like rebates, have ticked up by nearly 4 percent since December 2014, according to TrueCar.com. Automaker incentive discipline, as it’s known in the industry, will be closely watched to see if companies are going to sacrifice more profits in order to keep sale churning.
“We’re seeing a rise in incentive spending and it will be interesting to see what the automakers strategy will be this year to address that,” said Michelle Krebs, a senior automotive analyst for Autotrader.

Despite the fact that my hubby and I haven’t even finished unpacking from our last trip, I haven’t been able to stop dreaming about visiting Europe. My husband has never been to Europe, and I’d love to give him the 20 somethings European adventure he’s never had yet. The only problem is, it’s hard not to feel too broke to travel sometimes. Life can get in the way, and even when my e-mail inbox lights up with a fare sale that seems to incredible to pass up as it did this morning, the extra costs associated with travel can quickly add up and make travel seem impossible.
But after a disparaging few minutes, I started crunching the numbers, digging into some research, and falling back on old habits that have allowed us to travel before when we only had pennies to our name. I realized that it is possible to travel across Europe, even when you feel completely broke. So if you, like my hubby and I, are ready to book that flight for the trip of a lifetime, get ready to discover just how affordable traveling across Europe can be.
The biggest obstacle of traveling across Europe is often buying the initial plane ticket to Europe. Check out our list of 25 ways to score cheap plane tickets to help cut down on the cost of your flight to and from Europe, which can really help cheapen the overall cost of your trip.
No matter where in the world you go, traveling off season is usually a great way to save money right off the bat. Fares are cheaper, hostels and hotels are cheaper, and while some activities may have restricted hours, they also can offer cheaper entrance fees. Try to avoid traveling during holidays and over peak vacation times, like during the summer months.
If you’re totally broke but still able to travel through Europe, abandon now the idea of posh chain hotels and standard amenities. While you can find somewhat luxurious digs for cheap if you know where to look, if you’re really broke you are going to need to adjust your expectations and being willing to have a great sense of adventure- and humor. But just because they’re cheaper doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll be sleeping on a cot.
For instance, Airbnb lists everything from a tent in someone’s backyard to a private houseboat or apartment above a garage. And speaking of tents, camping is a great and often free way to visit Europe. Many countries and areas in Europe allow you to even pitch a tent on the side of the road and camp for free.
Other places have designated campgrounds, but off season prices are very cheap and sometimes even free as well, although certain amenities like bathrooms and showers might be closed. If you’re in a rural area, you may be able to ask farmers and other locals if you can pitch a tent in their yard overnight in exchange for a few dollars.
Campinmygarden is a great network that helps you connect with homeowners who are willing to let you use their yard as a home for your tent. There are plenty of more networking opportunities for alternative accommodation sites online as well. Homestay is similar to Airbnb, except you pay in full when you get there, and instead of staying at an empty place, you have the benefit of living with locals and being able to really interact with the people of that country.
If you have a great place at home with an extra room or couch, Night swapping allows users to trade nights for future credits toward free stays. So if you let someone stay in your extra room or couch for a few nights for free, you’ll earn a few nights of free stay at someone else’s home. It’s a great way to not spend a dime on housing while traveling, and you get to help out some fellow travelers as well. If you’re traveling during term breaks, University rooms allows you to stay in vacant dorm rooms for just a few euros a night.
While the rooms are sparse and you might find yourself having horrible school flashbacks, the universities and colleges tend to be located right in the heart of the cities, which gives you a great location for only a tenth of the price as the hotel down the street.
When it comes to housing, what will get you a couch in England will often buy you a private mansion in Bulgaria. This is generally true for other elements as well, such as food, tickets, etc. So if you’re truly broke, try to visit more of Eastern Europe than Western Europe. Head for countries that are more off the radar and less touristy. Instead of France or England, trying thinking Ukraine, Romania, Poland, etc.
Just because it doesn’t feature the Eiffel Tower doesn’t mean it isn’t Europe. Plus, you’ll be more likely to escape the usual tourist crowds, which is always a win!
Room and board can be one of the most expensive elements of traveling Europe, with hostels and

The volcano-related flood work will control sediment flow to ease flooding
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) finalized plans to control volcanic sediment from the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens located in Skamania County, Wash. The north fork of the Toutle River has since been washing sediment downstream. If left unchecked, the sediment could clog the channel of the Cowlitz River and increase flooding.
The long-term plan is to raise the Toutle River sediment-retaining dam up another 23 ft, build more silt-retaining structures upstream and potentially dredge the Cowlitz, as reported by local news source TDN. The plan also calls for a new fish trap below the dam. In the short-term USACE will complete river monitoring in 2019 to assess the severity of the sediment flow and will complete design work on the sediment-retaining dam.
USACE has authorization for volcano-related flood control work until 2035, but the agency expects the erosion problem will persist beyond that timeline. The project’s price tag is estimated at $384 million over the next 17 years. Previous efforts at flood protection and erosion control have included building fortified dikes, dredging sediment and building a 125-ft-high earthen dam across the north Toutle. The structure was raised 7 ft in 2012.

The research has shown that the double-vaccinated population has lost 74% of their immune system capability, and the triple vaccinated has lost an average of 73% of their immune system capability. This data was compared to those who are unvaccinated and have natural immunity.
According to the study, double-vaccinated people are 3.8 times more likely to be infected with COVID-19 and 3.3 times more likely to die from COVID-19 than the unvaccinated. Yet those who are triple vaccinated are reportedly at a higher risk of death.
The official numbers show that they are, on average, 3.7 more likely to be infected with COVID but 5.1 times more likely to die from COVID than the unvaccinated people.
With receiving so many injections damaging the immune system, they have developed what is known as VAIDS (Vaccine Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome). These numbers were provided by the Canadian Government.
They also state that one of the main issues with the vaccine is that the immune system isn't returning to its natural state, and they have concluded that those who received the vaccine will now have more severe immune issues, especially those who have had two or three vaccines.

A while a go I was lucky enough to win a competition for some of the Body Shop Colour Crush Nail Colour. I’ve been loving trying them out and painting my nails to help me try to stop biting them as much. I never got around to grabbing Essie Mint Candy Apple when everyone was loving it last year and with the weather getting warmer I couldn’t wait to try it out.
At only £5 a bottle they are reasonably priced and available online or in shops. The brush is a decent size and easy to paint with and so far all the polishes I’ve tried have a decent coverage with two coats without being two thick.
Mint Cream is a perfect mint pastel green with a great glossy finish. I love these type of shades for spring summer and I find pastel shades like this don’t look too bad when my nails are short.
If you’ve read the blog for sometime you’ll know I rarely comment on wear, for me due to my job no polish lasts more than 48 hours unchipped. When I wore a lilac version from this range to a wedding recently I did get 5 days chip free.
I’m loving the colours in the range and price of these! It’s definitely opened my eyes to The Body Shop as more than body butters and scrubs for me. Any product recommendations?

Who wore what on the Elle Style Awards red carpet
Fashion's finest dusted off their glad rags and braved the frosty weather to hit the Elle Style Awards in London.
The event – which comes just a day after the red carpet bonanza of the Baftas and Grammys – saw bright colours, classic elegance and quirky couture rubbing shudders at 41 Conduit Street.
Here are some of the highlights:
Thandie Newton was as elegant as ever in simple black jazzed up with some sparkly detail and a sophisticated up-do.
Debbie Harry brought the fun to the carpet, rocking her Vivienne Westwood suit and colourful crown.
American Honey actress Sasha Lane turned heads in her show-stopping black Louis Vuitton ensemble – which flashed a bit of side boob.
She paired the dress with huge hoop earrings and boots.
Beth Ditto went for the floral theme, summoning up the spring in her navy suit patterned with pink flowers.
Model Ellie Bamber looked chic in a long grey and black dress teamed with a silver belt and peep-toes.
Singer-songwriter Izzy Bizu lead the colour charge, lighting up the carpet with a rainbow-esque, floaty number than made everyone think of summer.
She was joined by fellow catwalk queen Arizona Muse, who was sleek and stylish in a pink column dress.
Model Iskra Lawrence must have been feeling the chill, as she left very little to the imagination in her thigh-skimming black dress.
Music star Stormzy showed red carpet style isn't just a female affair, looking dapper in a suit that was apparently by Burberry.

Can a Cold Trigger Asthma?
For most people, the common cold is a minor annoyance. But if you have asthma, a cold can trigger an asthma attack. Colds can be especially serious in children with asthma.
Preventing colds and other infections, such as the flu, is one way you can stay healthy and minimize the risk of asthma attacks in you or your child.
When you have a cold, your runny, stuffy nose and cough can make it harder to breathe. For some individuals, persistent coughing is sufficient to trigger an asthma attack. Not only do colds increase your risk of having an asthma attack, if a cold or the flu triggers your asthma symptoms, they are often more difficult to treat and last longer than usual.
Colds are so common that you may think it’s impossible to not catch one. However, there are several easy steps you can take to reduce your risk of cold and flu:
Avoid contact with a person who has a cold or flu
Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth, which can transmit a virus from your hands into your body
Cover your mouth and nose with your elbow (not your hand) or a tissue when sneezing or coughing
Eat a well-balanced diet that includes a sufficient amount of fruits and vegetables
Get enough rest
Use appropriate antibacterial cleaners to clean hands and surfaces
Wash hands frequently with soap and water for at least 15 seconds, especially during and after contact with a person who has a cold
There are a variety of products available over-the-counter or on the internet that claim to help prevent or reduce the severity of a cold. Some of these products can interact with your asthma medications or make your asthma symptoms worse. Plus, the safety and effectiveness of many of these products is still not clear. Always check with your doctor first before taking any supplements or over-the-counter medications or products to prevent or treat your cold.
If you have a cold, whether or not you have asthma, it may help you to:
Drink extra fluids
Eat soup, such as chicken soup, to break up congestion and provide easy-to-digest nutrients and fluids
Get extra rest and sleep
If you have a child under the age of six, you should not give them cold or cough medications because of the risk of serious side effects. In addition, you should not use aspirin or products that contain aspirin because of the risk of developing a rare, life-threatening condition called Reye syndrome. Reye syndrome has been linked to taking aspirin during a viral illness, such as a cold or flu.
If you suffer from asthma and develop a cold, tell your doctor if your asthma symptoms get worse or are more difficult to control. Your doctor can adjust your asthma treatment and start treatment for complications if needed.
Having asthma increases your chance that a cold will break down your body’s defenses and lead to more serious, even life-threatening infections. These infections can dangerously worsen your asthma symptoms.
Complications of a cold include:
If you have asthma and develop a cold, drink plenty of fluids, rest, and tell your asthma doctor if you’re having trouble breathing. With rest and proper treatment, you can prevent your cold from turning into something more serious.

Kenya's police watchdog has launched investigations into Tuesday's brutal conduct of four police officers pictured beating a female lawmaker in the capital, Nairobi.
The police were deployed to the Nairobi County Assembly to disperse lawmakers who had tried to impeach the Speaker amid chaotic scenes, according to local media.
A standoff between the police and lawmakers ensued and the four police officers were pictured assaulting local representative Patricia Mutheu.
The country's police watchdog said it had "contacted some of the people who were present during the chaos" to get testimonies.
"The preliminary enquiry seeks to establish the role played by police officers who were deployed at the premise," it said in a statement.
The local affiliate of Amnesty International has called on the police officers to be held accountable:

2021 was an exceptionally strong year for initial public offerings (IPOs) with the market recording the highest number of new floats in a decade, and more than the previous two years combined.
There were 191 IPOs in 2021, up from 74 in 2020 and 62 in 2019. In total, these IPOs raised $12.33 billion, a significant increase on 2020 ($4.98 billion).
The year also saw an increase in the number of large companies listing, with eight companies having a market cap on listing in excess of $1 billion. The three largest IPOs in 2021 raised $3.34 billion in total, representing 27 per cent of the total funds raised for the year.
The volume of activity increased significantly in the second half of 2021 with 68 per cent of new listings occurring in the final two quarters. Activity was driven by the availability of capital underpinned by attractive investment fundamentals, further supported by strong levels of sentiment and a buoyant share market.
During the course of the year, 87 per cent of IPOs met or exceeded their capital raising goals, an increase on the five-year average of 83 per cent. In addition, IPOs on average experienced strong share price performance subsequent to listing, recording an average first day share price increase of 20 per cent. In total, 115 companies (60 per cent of all IPOs) ended their first day above their listing price.
The year also saw a significant increase in the number of small cap listings, with 145 companies with a market cap of less than $100 million entering the market. This is almost double the five-year average.
Small cap listings represented 76 per cent of new market entrants for 2021, and raised a total of $1.38 billion (11 per cent of total funds raised during the year). The most active segment for the year was the $10-25 million bracket, with 70 IPOs making up 48 per cent of all small cap listings. The small cap sector was dominated by the Materials sector which made up 68 per cent of listings in this bracket, and was the strongest performing industry sector overall, with 107 new entrants during 2021 (compared to 24 in 2020).
Looking ahead, the pipeline continues to look strong for 2022. At the end of 2021, there were 27 companies which had applied for listing to the ASX, a significant increase from the 14 companies at the same time the previous year. These companies are hoping to raise $250.4 million.
This year’s report, authored by Marcus Ohm, provides a detailed summary of IPO activity within Australia for 2021. Produced annually, it includes analysis on key aspects of the market including:
- Share price performance
- Sector analysis
- IPO subscription rates
- Review of activity by quarter

After a fairly quiet day down West on Saturday, I decided to check out Crowdy and Davidstow today. There were very few waders at either site but six Ruff and a Dunlin were seen at the back of Crowdy Res. At Davidstow, one Ringed Plover flew high over calling but Brian Craven put me on to this confiding Grey Plover. Based on the streaking on the lower flanks, the black spangling on the upperparts tinged with yellow, I'm judging this is a first year bird. This is the first one I've seen here, or come to that, at any inland site.
Grey Plover is a world-wide species, breeding in the high arctic tundra and wintering as far south as Australia, South America and South Africa. The species breeds from its second year. First year birds remain on the wintering grounds until mature enough to breed. Numbers in Cornwall have seriously declined over the last ten years. eg in 2009 just 18 birds were recorded wintering in December compared to 160 in 1999.

MILLVILLE — Lakeside Middle School was temporarily put in lock-down Thursday morning after a "threat of violence" was reported by the school, according to Millville police.
The Millville Police Department (MPD) received a report of the incident at 8:24 a.m. Thursday and responded to the school, located along Sharp Street.
"We went over and spoke with Principal Denning and determined it wasn't anything credible," said MPD Sgt. Carl Heger.
Heger said "somebody misheard something" when the incident was initially reported by the school. A message seeking comment has been left with Lakeside administration. Updates will be posted as they become available.

12. "Said she had a full conversation with Harriet Tubman" In response to Reply # 5
I stared at the trees around me and thought about how I have a subconscious aversion to the woods and the woods have done nothing to me. I thought about the times a tree was used as a weapon against my people without its consent (fungus) and I jumped off a park bench and climbed up to literally hug a branch about 10 feet up.
The bark bit into my skin while I was hangin there and a little piece shook free and flew away past my face. And I wondered how much more of it was really bugs pretending to be tree. And how much life essence of ours passes on when the trees feed on us. (fungus)
16. "honestly, they're different animals" In response to Reply # 15
I thought the same thing. But the way greens free up your mind for thought, the psilos make your emotions paper thin. Cryin over songs, overwhelmed with affection, long form silent cartoons about the world around you, applying emotion to inanimate objects, it's all very Disney.
9. "RE: mushrooms are wonderful" In response to Reply # 0
I would highly recommend listening to Terence McKenna to gather more insight into what you can accomplish with mushrooms.
It's important to consider that mushrooms are in most likely hood completely psycho psematic. That really does not take away from the power of the trip.
We are made of star stuff. (c) Carl Sagan.
We are all time capsules for the very creation of this universe. Many philosopher mystics taught that the history of the universe/being is locked within us. Mushrooms help us shed ourselves of the psychological/ego filters we have been conditioned to take on in our daily living, and this is precisely why you felt so open to love and sharing it. For those moments you free'd yourself from the ego. Challenge yourself to hold on to this for as long as possible, and remember not to abuse mushrooms or to make it too habitual as it can have negative effects on the psyche.

Nature and History!
70-metre high cliffs dropping sharply down to the sea, a wall of which you will be at the base, in an ornithological reserve where guillemots, penguins, oystercatchers and common shags nest. The Cap-Fréhel is the final destination of this superb commentated cruise of the western side of the Emerald Coast.
From the moment of departure, you will succumb to its charm, as you pass before Dinard, Saint-Enogat, Saint-Lunaire, Saint-Briac and Lancieux, and glimpse the sumptuous villas. You will follow the Coast to the famous Château de Fort La Latte, dating from the 14th century.
In addition to its historic aspect, the Château de Fort La Latte has served as the setting for many films, the most famous being "The Vikings" with the American actor Kirk DOUGLAS.
The manner in which the Cap Fréhel extends out into the Channel - between the Saint-Brieuc bay and the Saint-Malo harbour - makes it the ideal place to build a lighthouse. The first one was built here under Louis XIV - known as the old lighthouse, it is still visible from sea. A taller and more modern lighthouse was built in 1836 on the site of the current one, and re-built in 1946. 32 metres tall, its light towers 103 metres above the sea. In clear weather, its light is visible from over 100 kilometres away.
Sometimes dolphins may be seen, even coming to accompany the boat.

Relationship between network clustering in a therapeutic community and reincarceration following discharge
Published on Feb 1, 2019in Journal of Substance Abuse Treatment2.542
· DOI :10.1016/j.jsat.2018.10.008
Abstract Recent qualitative work on Therapeutic Communities (TCs) suggests that they help residents change by creating an environment that is simultaneously challenging and supportive. There is evidence that social networks that feature numerous closed triads are both more supportive and more likely to influence individual behavior. This implies that TC residents whose peer social networks include more closed triads should have improved outcomes. The social network in this study consists of the affirmations exchanged between 1312 men who resided at a 90 bed TC in a Midwestern state over a period of eight years and includes a total of 34,667 weighted edges. The network was analyzed using the Temporal Network Autocorrelation Model (TNAM) based semiparametric Cox model, thereby using a statistical methodology that accounts for dependence between individuals in the network. Participants whose social networks of TC peers included a higher percentage of closed triads were at a decreased hazard of reincarceration following termination when controlling for age, length of stay and the number of peers who eventually graduated who affirmed the residents. These results support the longstanding TC contention that the community as a whole is the method of clinical treatment. Further quantitative research into TC processes and outcomes should ideally include social network surveys and statistics in order to avoid biases associated with violations of statistical independence assumptions.

In fresh years, many philosophers of recent physics got here to the realization that the matter of the way objectivity is constituted (rather than purely given) can now not be kept away from, and as a result transcendental technique within the spirit of Kant is now philosophically correct. the standard excuse for skipping this job is that the ancient shape given by means of Kant to transcendental epistemology has been challenged by means of Relativity and Quantum Physics. even though, the real problem isn't to strength sleek physics right into a rigidly construed static model of Kant’s philosophy, yet to supply Kant’s approach with flexibility and generality.
In this e-book, the pinnacle experts of the sphere pin down the methodological center of transcendental epistemology that has to be utilized in order to throw gentle at the foundations of contemporary physics. First, the elemental instruments Kant used for his transcendental examining of Newtonian Mechanics are tested, after which early transcendental methods of Relativistic and Quantum Physics are revisited. Transcendental approaches also are utilized to modern physics, and this renewed transcendental interpretation is ultimately in comparison with structural realism and optimistic empiricism. The e-book can be of curiosity to scientists, historians and philosophers who're curious about the foundational difficulties of contemporary physics.

It's tempting to imagine that, if a person's ideals are coherent, also they are prone to be precise.

Erik Olsson's new booklet is the main wide and particular examine of coherence and possible fact up to now.
Our wisdom of the exterior international is a compilation of lectures Bertrand Russell introduced within the US during which he questions the very relevance and legitimacy of philosophy. In it he investigates the connection among ‘individual’ and ‘scientific’ wisdom and questions the ability within which we now have come to appreciate our actual global.
Popper’s severe Rationalism provides Popper’s perspectives on technological know-how, wisdom, and inquiry, and examines the importance and tenability of those in mild of contemporary advancements in philosophy of technological know-how, philosophy of chance, and epistemology. It develops a clean and novel philosophical place on technological know-how, which employs key insights from Popper whereas rejecting different parts of his philosophy.
Every thing in our figuring out of truth calls for thought-systems.

About 1,800-3,200 seeds/oz.
A favorite for children’s gardens because quick and easy to grow with minimal fertility requirements.
Culture: Summer radishes may be sown almost as soon as the ground can be worked. Minimum germination temperature 40°, optimal range 55–85°. They emerge rapidly and grow quickly. Sow 1-2" apart, and thin to at least 2" for attractive uniform roots. Use row cover to protect from flea beetles. They develop more pungency in dry heat than in cool moist weather. Ready for harvest at about the size of a quarter and will rapidly get woody if allowed to grow much larger
Culinary: Parboil the greens and roots separately, then eat them together as very early spring salad. And the pot liquor, mmmm…
Days to maturity are from date of seeding
Disease: FY: Fusarium Yellows
Note: We cannot ship packets greater than ½ oz. (14 grams) of radishes into the Willamette Valley. The State of Oregon prohibits shipping any commercial quantity of untreated Brassica, Raphanus or Sinapis due to quarantine

The effect of a magnetic field on the damping of slow magnetosonic waves in the solar corona
The influence of the magnetic field strength and the associated plasma parameter β (beta) on the dynamics of slow magnetosonic (MS) waves in plasma loops of the solar corona was studied. It has been demonstrated that the feedback effect of the thermal imbalance induced by MS waves with these waves makes it possible to explain the observed anomalously low Q factor of the waves of this type without involving anomalously high values of the thermal conductivity and viscosity coefficients. The results of this study are a theoretical basis for diagnosing key parameters of the Solar corona plasma, such as the magnetic field and the corona heating function by magnetohydrodynamic seismology using observations of solar and stellar flares both in the radio range, in particular with the RATAN-600 SAO RAS telescope after implementation of the guidance mode and with the help of SAO RAS optical telescopes. A separate significant result is the establishment of the application field of the infinite magnetic field approximation which greatly simplifies theoretical modeling of dynamic and thermal processes in plasma loops of the Solar corona.

To form a substation control system, the various elements described above must be assembled into some form of topology. Three major hardware topologies can be identified as being commonly used.
Let’s get into details of each of hardware topologies:
This takes the form of Figure 1. The software to implement the substation control and automation functions resides in the HMI computer and this has direct links to IED’s using one or more communications protocols.
The link to a remote SCADA system is normally also provided in the HMI computer, though a separate interface unit may be provided to offload some of the processor requirements from the HMI computer, especially if a proprietary communications protocol to the SCADA system is used.
For this topology, a powerful HMI computer is clearly required if large numbers of IED’s are to be accommodated.
In practice, costs usually dictate the use of a standard PC, and hence there will be limitations on substation size that it can be applied to because of a resulting limit to the number of IED’s that can be connected.
The other important issue is one of reliability and availability – there is only one computer that can control the substation and therefore only local manual control will be possible if the computer fails for any reason.
Such a topology is therefore only suited to small MV substations where the consequences of computer failure (requiring a visit from a repair crew to remedy) are acceptable. Bay Modules are not used, the software for control and interlocking of each substation bay runs as part of the HMI computer software.
This topology is an enhancement of the HMI topology and is shown in Figure 2. A microprocessor based RTU is used to host the automation software, freeing the HMI computer for operator interface duties only.
The HMI computer can therefore be less powerful and usually takes the form of a standard PC, or for not-normally manned substations, visiting personnel can use a portable PC.
The RTU is purpose designed and can house one or more powerful microprocessors. A greater number of I/O points can be accommodated than in the HMI topology, while the possibility exists of hosting a wider variety of communication protocols for IED’s and the remote SCADA connection.
Bay Modules are not required, the associated software for interlocking and control sequences is part of the RTU software.
This topology is illustrated in Figure 3. In it, each bay of the substation is controlled by a Bay Module, which houses the control and interlocking software, interfaces to the various IED’s required as part of the control and protection for the bay, and an interface to the HMI.
The amount of data from the various substation I/O points dictates that a separate SCADA interface unit is provided (often called an RTU or Gateway), while it is possible to have more than one HMI computer, the primary one being dedicated to operations and others for engineering use.
Optionally, a remote HMI computer may be made available via a separate link. It is always desirable in such schemes to separate the realtime operations function from engineering tasks, which do not have the same time-critical importance.
The connection between the various Bay Modules and the HMI computer is of some interest.
Simplest is the star arrangement of Figure 4(a). This is the least-cost solution, but suffers from two disadvantages. Firstly, a break in the link will result in loss of remote control of the bay affected; only local control via a local HMI computer connected to the bay is then possible.
Secondly, the number of communication ports available on the HMI computer will limit the number of Bay Modules.
Of course, it is possible to overcome the first problem by duplicating links and running the links in physically separate routes. However, this makes the I/O port problem worse, while additional design effort is required in ensuring cable route diversity.
An alternative is to connect the Bay Modules, HMI computer and SCADA gateway in a ring, as shown in Figure 4(b).
The detection of ring breakage and re-configuration required can be made automatically. Thus, the availability and fault tolerance of the network is improved. Multiple rings emanating from the HMI computer can be used if the number of devices exceeds the limit for a single ring. It can be easier to install on a step-by-step basis for retrofit applications, but of course, all these advantages have a downside.
The cost of such a topology is higher than that of the other solutions, so this topology is reserved for situations where the highest reliability and availability is required – i.e. HV and EHV transmission substations.
Redundancy can also be provided at the individual device level. Relays and other IED’s may be duplicated, though this would not be usual unless required for other reasons (e.g. EHV

Following on from a recent post about why writers' groups are awesome, I thought it would be helpful to look at the reasons why a writer should not join a group. I originally intended for this post to be rather cheeky but as I began writing it, it became clear to me that there are some particular reasons why a group may not be the best option for a writer. So, here we go...
- you need a writing course
This happens a bit: a new writer attends a writing group but has so many questions about voice, point of view, structure and character development, it’s often a course they need, not a group. A writers' group works best when writers bring a certain amount of knowledge about how storytelling works and are able to apply it to their own work and to feedback on the work of others.
I don’t believe everyone needs to be at the same ‘level’ ie, all must be published, to work. I think having an emerging writer in the group can be a great way to get another perspective but it does put extra time and resource pressure on others if someone is asking fundamental craft questions.
- you're just too busy
Everyone is busy but attending a group requires commitment and not everyone has the space in their life to show up at every meeting and be prepared to give 2-3 hours at a time. I’ve gone through periods when I’ve not been able to do it and I’ve had to pull back and admit it. It doesn’t help the group and it certainly doesn’t help your own work if you’re inconsistent in attending meetings or not 100% focused at the meetings.
- it's painful to hear criticism
I’ve had to work on happily receiving criticism. My initial instinct was to push back or duck and avoid but, with practice, I’ve been able to really listen to the feedback and view it objectively. As a new writer, it can be difficult and confronting to hear negative feedback in a small group environment and I always make a point of asking new attendees to spend some time after the meeting reviewing how they reacted to the feedback. Did they feel uncomfortable? If so, how did it manifest? If they were giving the exact, same feedback, how would they have done it? It gets easier but if it’s painful and leaves a writer dejected and discouraged every time, that isn’t healthy.
- you don't trust other writers
This is a biggie. Every now and then, I’ll have a conversation with a writer who is thinking about attending one of my groups but is afraid. They’re afraid of someone stealing their ideas, laughing at their ideas or misunderstanding them and when I prod a little, there’s generally always a story beneath the fear. They may have been hurt in a previous group or they’ve heard stories of how someone stole a story idea from another writer, made millions off it and left the original creator destitute. In cases like this, I try and help them understand that it’s a very rare thing for someone to be able to copy another writer’s story exactly and, besides, there are no new ideas under the sun. Everything’s already out there. I also stress the nature of my groups – we’re not there to take from each other but, rather, we’re there to support. My groups are safe and if they choose to attend, they’ll see that we’re a team. Writing a book, be it a children’s book, a book of poetry or fiction, is HARD work and everyone is so focused on trying to write THEIR story, they don’t have the time to think about double-crossing another member of the group.
Despite these assurances, however, some writers are not ready to be vulnerable and share and that’s okay.
- you don't read widely
This one is only a problem if it means you are unable to give any kind of response to a writing working in a different genre. It’s also not a problem if you’re able to find a group that is focused on only one genre but many groups nowadays aren't. If group members are writing crime, romance and speculative fiction, it means you’ll need some understanding of the reader expectations in these genres and, better yet, to have done some wide reading to give feedback confidently.

Earlier this month, Damon Dash gave the kind of nutty interview that reminded everybody where Kanye West learned his over-heated, off-the-cuff rhetorical style.
In addition to again implying Jay Z is a snitch, Dash repeatedly said during the chat with Power 105 that a real man doesn't have a boss.
It's unclear if Dame realized that by saying this he was insulting everybody but a lucky few and the unemployed.
But insult them he did, and Twitter had their revenge today with the hashtag #TweetLikeDameDash. Check out some of the cyber-sarcasm below.
