EOG Resources will continue to hold off on Bakken well completions until crude prices stabilize.
Pulling back, slowing down and waiting it out is the preferred strategy for oil producers looking for strategies during the current pricing crisis.
During an earnings call, EOG says that they are benefiting greatly from the pull-back in activity and progress is being made to lowering cost in each phase of their operations. The company announced a first quarter loss net loss of $169.7 million.

The slowdown in activity has allowed EOG to focus on three things in its Bakken operations
- Operational efficiencies and lowering well cost. Currently, a typical 10,000 foot lateral is now drilled in just over 10 days.
- Using new technical data from our integrated completion process to further adjust and tailor high density completion designs to specific formation properties. These modifications are leading to improved results.
- Maintain a more stable production base with minimal downtime
Other Bakken Highlights
- Well costs are currently 14% less than the 2014 well cost.
- 2015 well costs will be as much as 20% below 2014 levels with a target of $7.4 million.
- Began production on eight wells in two 500 foot space patterns in the partial area.
- Initial per well production rates from a five-well pattern averaged 1,235 barrels of oil per day and a three-well pattern averaged 1,345 barrels of oil per day.
- Focused activity on its Parshall Core acreage in the North Dakota Bakken where 500-foot spacing results were very encouraging. Operational improvements continue to generate efficiency gains and lower well costs. Average well costs in the first quarter were down 14 percent from 2014 levels.

Portrait photography is the art of capturing a person’s likeness in a photograph. It is a popular form of photography that is used for a variety of purposes such as family photos, headshots, and engagement photos. To achieve the best results in portrait photography, it is important to use the right lens.
One of the best lenses for portrait photography is a telephoto lens. Telephoto lenses have a longer focal length, which allows you to capture a subject from a distance. This is particularly useful in situations where you are not able to get close to your subject. Telephoto lenses also have a shallower depth of field which helps to blur the background and make the subject stand out. This creates a more pleasing and natural-looking portrait.
Another great lens for portrait photography is a prime lens. Prime lenses have a fixed focal length, which means that you can’t zoom in or out. However, they are known for their sharpness and clarity, which is especially important for capturing fine details in a person’s face. They also typically have a wider aperture, which allows for a shallower depth of field, making the subject stand out even more.
A third lens that is great for portrait photography is a medium telephoto lens. These lenses have a focal length of around 85mm to 135mm. They are great for capturing a more natural-looking portrait as they are able to capture a subject with a more natural perspective. They also have a shallower depth of field which helps to blur the background and make the subject stand out.
In summary, the best lenses for portrait photography are telephoto, prime, and medium telephoto lenses. They are all great choices for capturing stunning portraits because of their ability to create a shallow depth of field and focus on the subject, while blurring the background. They can also capture the fine details of a person’s face, which is essential for creating a pleasing portrait
Low light photography can be a challenging but rewarding experience. It requires a combination of technical knowledge and creative thinking to capture beautiful and unique images in dimly lit environments. In this essay, we will explore some tips and techniques for getting the best results from your camera in low light situations, and how to avoid common pitfalls that lead to blurry
The first step in low light photography is to understand the limitations of your camera. Most cameras perform best in bright light, and as the light level decreases, the camera’s ability to capture sharp and detailed images also decreases. This is because the camera’s sensor needs a certain amount of light to function properly, and in low light situations, the sensor may not be able to gather enough light to produce a clear image.
To compensate for this, you will need to use a longer shutter speed, which allows more light to reach the sensor. However, using a longer shutter speed also increases the risk of camera shake, which can result in blurry images. To avoid this, you will need to use a tripod or some other form of support to keep your camera steady. Additionally, you can use the self-timer function on your camera to avoid camera shake caused by pressing the shutter button.
Another way to increase the amount of light reaching the sensor is to use a wider aperture. Aperture is the opening in the lens that controls how much light reaches the sensor. By using a wider aperture, more light can enter the camera and reach the sensor. However, this also affects the depth of field, which is the area of the image that is in focus. A wider aperture will result in a shallower depth of field, which can be useful for creating a sense of depth and separation in your images.
Another important aspect of low light photography is ISO. ISO is a measure of the camera’s sensitivity to light. The lower the ISO, the less sensitive the camera is to light and the less noise in the image. However, in low light situations, you may need to use a higher ISO to get a well-exposed image. But, as you increase the ISO, you will also increase the amount of noise in the image, which can be unsightly. So, it’s a balance between having a well-exposed image and having noise in the image.
In addition to adjusting these technical settings, you can also use creative techniques to enhance your low light images. For example, you can use a flashlight or other light source to illuminate specific areas of the image. You can also use long exposures to capture the movement of light in the scene

Funny, now that zucchini is actually in season, this dish is no longer on the menu at Prune. No worries though, since we can all make it in the comfort of our own kitchen now.
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon/10 grams flour
24 ounces zucchini (about 6 medium ones), trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch coins
1 1/4 cups/312 ml millk
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Generous pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
Melt the butter in a heavy-bottomed 2-quart pot over medium heat. Add the flour, and cooking stirring with a wooden spoon until the mixture starts to foam and turns golden. Stir in the zucchini, making sure all the pieces are well-coated. Stir in the milk, and add the salt, pepper and nutmeg.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to lowest setting and cover pot with a lid. Cook for 25 to 30 minutes, until the zucchini is extremely tender when pierced with the tip of a fork. Don't worry if the sauce looks curdled or broken—just stir it together a few times and will come together into a velvety texture. Let the zucchini sit in the pot, uncovered, for 5 to 10 minutes so the sauce can thicken further, before serving.

Denman, A. R., Phillips, P. S. and Tornberg, R. (2002) The costs and benefits of radon remediation programmes in existing homes: case study of action level selection. Journal of Environmental Radioactivity.62(1), pp. 17-27. 0265-931X.
Radon gas can be present within buildings at sufficiently high levels that it becomes a health risk. Such levels can be reduced, and so radon remediation programmes in the home in UK Affected Areas should result in reduced risks to the population. This paper considers the benefits and costs of the domestic radon remediation programme in Northamptonshire, UK, and considers the implications of the choice of Action Level, in view of the adoption of different levels in many countries. A programme with a higher Action Level will cost less, and target those most at risk, but will be less cost effective. In addition, a higher Action Level leaves a higher residual dose and risk to the remaining population. Such doses are higher than and inconsistent with the radiation dose limits for the general public in the EU Basic Standards Directive

Studies on effect of bis(tri-n-butyltin)oxide (TBTO) and other organotins on marine species have been conducted at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's laboratory at Gulf Breeze, Florida, since 1983. First studies were done on two species of algae, Skeletonema costatum and Thalassiosira pseudonana, where 72h EC50s for tributyltins and population growth were 0.35 and 1.16 microgram/l, respectively. Two developmental stages of the lugworm, Arenicola cristata, were sensitive to TBTO (96h LC50=4 microgram/l). Only 0.1 microgram/l inhibited arm regeneration by the brittle star, Ophioderma brevispina. TBTO was less toxic to the grass shrimp, Palaemonetes pugio, (96h LC50 = 20 microgram/l). Continuing studies include research on effects of TBTO on 1-, 4-and 10-day old mysids and estuarine seagrass communities.

Psalm 17:2 Let my vindication come from Your Presence; Let Your eyes look on the things that are upright.
Proverbs 17:24 Wisdom is in the sight of him who has understanding, but the eyes of the fool are on the ends of the earth.
Luke 12:42-48 For everyone to whom much is given from him much is required; and to whom much has been committed of him they will ask the more.
Everything we have is a gift from God. As with gifts, we give to each other, we expect the gift to be used. The same goes for the gifts God gives. He wants us to use what’s been given to us.
Jesus mentioned people don’t light a lamp and hide it under a basket. No. The lamp is lit for all to see. And so it is with the gifts gives to us.
Our gifts are not for us alone. These gifts are meant to help others, to build up the body of Christ, and to reflect the glory of God.
“Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he come.” Luke 12:43
As we wait for our Master to return we ought to be about His business. Using our gifts, ministering, helping others. And when we do, then we will be wise and understanding servants.
Thank you, Father God, for your gifts. For allowing us to join your work. Help us be good stewards of all you’ve given us. In Jesus’ name Amen.

Citation: Stommel, J.R., Abbott, J.A. Saftner, R.A. 2005. USDA 02L1058 and 02L1059: Cherry tomato breeding lines with high fruit beta-carotene content. HortScience 40:1569-1570. Interpretive Summary: Scientists at the Agricultural Research Service of the United States Department of Agriculture have developed two new tomato breeding lines, designated 02L1058 and 02L1059, which are intended for use as breeding material in the development of new cherry tomato varieties. These lines produce with fruit high beta-carotene content. High beta-carotene content results in orange-pigmented fruit. Tomato fruit with high beta-carotene content are suitable for specialty applications where additional variety or flavor is desired. They also provide a rich dietary source of vitamin A. Evaluation of fruit quality attributes including sugar content, acidity, and aroma compounds demonstrated comparable quality of these breeding lines in comparison to related commercial red-fruited cherry tomato varieties. These breeding lines will be utilized by public and private plant breeders for the development of new cherry tomato varieties. Small samples of seed are available for professional trial and breeding purposes upon written request to John Stommel, USDA, ARS, Vegetable Laboratory, 10300 Baltimore Ave., Beltsville, MD 20705.
Technical Abstract: USDA, ARS announces the release of two new cherry tomato breeding lines designated 02L1058 and 02L1059. These lines produce fruit with high beta-carotene content and are intended for use as breeding material in the development of new cherry tomato specialty cultivars. These lines were developed from a cross between the Lycopersicon esculentum cultivar Floradade and the high beta-carotene donor parent L. cheesmanii f. minor LA317. The interspecific hybrid was sequentially backcrossed to Floradade and Spectrum 579. Lines 02L1058 and 02L1059 are F7 selections from a subsequent backcross to the NCSU breeding line NC1C. Lines 02L1058 and 02L1059 have a compact determinate (sp gene) growth habit and concentrated fruit set. Fruit contain two to three locules, ripen uniformly (u gene) and have jointless pedicels (j-2 gene). Fruit maturity of 02L1058 and 02L1059 is approximately seven days later than Mountain Belle. Lines 02L1058 and 02L1059 are homozygous BB MoB MoB. Beta-carotene content averaged 46.5 and 41.8 g/g tissue fresh weight in 02L1058 and 02L1059 (94.6% of total colored carotenoids), respectively. Average fruit soluble solids content of 02L1058 and 02L1059 was 10.5% and 25.0% higher than Mountain Belle and Castlette, respectively. Total sugar content and relative sweetness scores were 39.5% greater than Castlette and equivalent to Mountain Belle. Titratable acidity of 02L1058 and 02L1059 fruit was 19.5% higher, relative to Mountain Belle and comparable to Castlette. Sugar:acid ratios of 02L1058 and 02L1059 were intermediate to Mountain Belle and Castlette. Total volatile levels did not differ among genotypes although several individual volatiles differed significantly in high beta-carotene genotypes vs. lycopene-rich cultivars.

Telling a story about 1960s urban motorway planning and the machinations of London's local government can involve obscure terminology and an awful lot of confusing acronyms.
The pages in the Ringways section are deliberately written to avoid the jargon and to explain terminology within the text wherever possible, but there are still some terms that can't be explained properly in a few words mid-sentence. This page sets out some of the terms and concepts discussed elsewhere on the Ringways pages and makes them clear.
A bored tube is a conventional tunnel created by digging a passage deep underground. It's the method traditionally used to build underwater road and rail tunnels, and to dig many of the deep level parts of the London Underground.
Cut-and-cover is a tunnelling technique used to create tunnels near the surface. A deep trench is dug, the tunnel is built within it, and the structure is then covered over to the original ground level. Some early Underground lines were built this way, and many road tunnels that exist to pass under other roads or to hide the road from nearby buildings are made in this fashion.
Department of the Environment (DOE)
The Department of the Environment was a "superministry" created in October 1970 by merging three existing Government departments: the Ministry of Public Works and Building, the Ministry of Housing and Local Government, and the Ministry of Transport. It was responsible for transport (and thus roads policy) through the Greater London Development Plan inquiry, and oversaw the creation of the M25 as we know it today. In September 1976, transport was separated again with the formation of the Department of Transport (DTp).
Department of Transport (DTp)
From September 1976, the Department of Transport was the Government department responsible for road and transport planning in England. It was created after the Ringways proposals had been scrapped and was mainly involved in developing roads outside London (including completion of the M25) until the abolition of the GLC in 1986. At that point it assumed responsibility for the former Metropolitan Roads, including the North and South Circular Roads. It carried out a programme of major improvement works on former GLC roads and consulted on further improvements which were cancelled in the face of public opposition.
See "Department of the Environment".
See "Department of Transport".
An elevated road is one that is built as a long bridge or viaduct, carried on supports above ground level. This term is normally used exclusively for roads "up on stilts" and does not refer to a road on an embankment.
See "Greater London Council".
See "Greater London Development Plan".
Greater London Council (GLC)
The Greater London Council was created in 1965 as a replacement for the London County Council, covering the whole of the area we now know as Greater London. The 32 modern London Boroughs were created at the same time. The GLC had London-wide responsibility for planning and land use, employment, emergency services and housing, and under it the individual boroughs operated local roads, local planning policy, leisure services and the other council facilities. It inherited the network of Metropolitan Roads from the LCC, meaning the GLC operated major roads in the former LCC area but those in outer London were trunk roads. In 1970, the GLC gained responsibility for London Transport, which meant it was able to coordinate all transport policy across the capital.
The GLC was created specifically to address the outdated and uncoordinated system of local government in London and at the outset was required to create a Greater London Development Plan to set out its plans for the city. It was abolished in 1986 as part of reforms to local government in England, at which time its responsibilities were mostly transferred to the boroughs.
Greater London Development Plan (GLDP)
The Greater London Development Plan is a planning policy document that the Greater London Council was legally obliged to create in the 1960s. Its purpose was to set out an overall strategy for the development and management of Greater London over the coming decades. The GLDP as originally written included proposals for a network of urban motorways serving the whole of London, including three concentric rings called the Ringways, but it also contained wide-ranging policies on housing, waste management, civil defence and other subjects.
The GLDP went to a public inquiry in 1970 that lasted two years and was the subject of the Layfield Report which was highly critical. It was eventually published, in considerably altered form and without the motorway proposals, in 1976.
An immersed tube is a method of building an underwater tunnel using prefabricated sections. A channel is dredged along the river or sea bed and pre-cast, waterproofed tunnel segments are floated into place, sunk and connected together in situ. The channel, with its line of tunnel segments, is normally covered over. The temporary walls at the ends of the segments are then broken through from the inside to form a continuous tunnel. In the UK this method has been

Lygus. Some Alberta fields have had 6-8 adults per 10 sweeps in the past week. Any field getting 0.5 to 1 lygus per sweep at early flowering should be monitored closely as it comes out of flower. Those numbers at early flower mean the next generation of lygus that comes out at the podding stage is more likely to be at damaging numbers — as long as weather conditions (warm and fairly dry) favor buildup. At the pod stage, counts of 8 or more per 10 sweeps can be enough to trigger a spray at today’s prices. If we continue to get bands of showers, lygus populations will likely decline.
Diamondback moth. Adult counts in traps are generally low — except in eastern Manitoba. As fields come out of flower and are podding, growers in areas with high counts need to scout aggressively to assess the threat of damage from larvae.
Slugs. Slugs are feeding on canola plants in a few fields in Alberta. The situation is not widespread but causes anxiety for those few growers. There is no registered product to control slugs in canola. Metaldehyde is a molluscicide registered for slugs in vegetable gardens and ornamentals. However, even in high value vegetable crops, control is considered too expensive on a large field scale. Aside from drier conditions, one long-term management consideration for fields with high slug counts could be tillage, but that is not proven and does not provide a remedy for this year’s canola crop.
Cabbage seedpod weevil. The weevil is at thresholds in pockets of southern Alberta, but numbers are down from previous years. In southwest Saskatchewan, counts are not near economic threshold. The highest recorded count in Saskatchewan is 12 adults in 10 sweeps (or 1.2 per sweep, on average.) At prices over $8 per bushel, an average of 2 to 3 weevils or more per sweep is the recommended economic threshold.
Scott Meers of Alberta Agriculture & Rural Development is recruiting scouts and crop consultants to enter cabbage seedpod weevil data into an online survey. This data will populate a google map that will show weevil hotspots in real time. Call 310-2777 (only in Alberta) and provide name, sample date, location (LLD or GPS), total number of sweeps, and total number of weevils in those sweeps.
Bertha armyworm. Adult moth counts were elevated in some areas in northwest Saskatchwan. Entomologists do not anticipate a big issue with bertha this year. Generally the peak emergence of the moths is about the middle of July so it will take a couple more weeks of monitoring to completely rule out the threat.
Root maggots. Plants are toppling over in some fields in central Alberta. Growers think disease is the cause, but when they pull up a plant they find the roots full of maggots. There are no effective control options in crop, but growers should note these fields as they plan cultural control strategies for next year.
Aphids. Thirty to 40 per plant have been spotted in a canola field near Elie, Manitoba. This is a rare event. Aphids, if they do appear in canola, tend to cluster on a few plants here and there within a small pocket of the field. Turnip aphid is the one species that will feed on canola bud clusters. (See the top photo, below.) Those are the ones you have to be concerned about. If 10% to 20% of stems have aphid clusters around the flower buds and if this is spread over a large enough area, then a spot spray of that area may be warranted. Dimethoate (Cygon and Lagon) are registered for aphid control in canola. Look for lady bug larvae and adults before spraying. (Bottom photo, below.) Lady bugs eat a lot of aphids and can keep populations from escalating, but keep watching. Aphid numbers can explode quickly.

Benefiting from low voltage operation and rail-to-rail output, a low power filter that is suitable for antialiasing can be built as shown in this circuit. On a 2.7V supply the filter has a passband of approximately 4MHz with 2VP-P input signal and a stopband attenuation that is greater than –75dB at 43MHz. The resistor and capacitor values can be scaled to reduce noise at the cost of large signal power consumption and distortion.
The LTC6246/LTC6247/LTC6248 are single/dual/quad low
power, high speed unity gain stable rail-to-rail input/output operational amplifiers. On only 1mA of supply current they feature an impressive 180MHz gain-bandwidth product, 90V/μs slew rate and a low 4.2nV/√Hz of input referred.

McElroy Earns Academic Award
The National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame does more than just honor the recipients. Greg McElroy, who has quarterbacked Alabama to 21 wins in his 22 starts over the past two years and made all ‘A's except for one ‘B' while earning his degree prior to his senior season, will receive an $18,000 postgraduate scholarship. He is also in the running with the other 15 for the 21st William V. Campbell Trophy, endowed by HealthSouth, which recognizes an individual as the absolute best scholar-athlete in the nation. Renamed last fall in honor of Bill Campbell, the chairman of Intuit, former player and head coach at Columbia University and the 2004 recipient of the NFF's Gold Medal, the award comes with a 25-pound bronze trophy and a $25,000 post-graduate scholarship. A total distribution of $300,000 in scholarships will be awarded.
"We are ecstatic about the quality of this year's remarkable National Scholar-Athlete Class. They stand as a testament to our mission of building leaders through football," said NFF President & CEO Steven J. Hatchell. "From top to bottom, this group has established itself as one of the greatest in the 50-plus years of this program, boasting an impressive array of academic and athletic achievements. We look forward to presenting each of them an $18,000 postgraduate scholarship to further their education, as there are no limits to what these young men will accomplish following their football careers."
The NFF's National Scholar-Athlete program, launched in 1959, is the first initiative in the history to award scholar-athletes postgraduate scholarships for their combined athletic, academic and leadership abilities. This year's class members finds themselves in good company, as past National Scholar-Athletes include former NFL standout Derrick Brooks (Florida State); actor Mark Harmon (UCLA); NASA astronaut Leland Melvin (Richmond); former Dateline NBC anchor Stone Phillips (Yale); chairman of Augusta National Golf Club, home of the Masters Tournament, Billy Payne (Georgia); famed NFL quarterback Steve Young (BYU); and Heisman Trophy winners Terry Baker (Oregon State), Gary Beban (UCLA), Doug Flutie (Boston College) and Danny Wuerffel (Florida).
"The 2010 National Scholar-Athlete Class represents all that is right about college football," said NFF Chairman Archie Manning, whose sons Peyton (Campbell winner) and Eli were NFF National Scholar-Athletes in 1997 and 2003, respectively. "They have balanced practice with difficult majors like mechanical engineering and biology. They've also taken their passion for helping others beyond their local communities, taking medical and mission trips overseas to help those less fortunate than themselves. They are prime role models for future generations of young men in this country."
Nominated by their schools, which are limited to one nominee each, candidates must be a senior or graduate student in their final year of eligibility, have a grade point average of at least 3.2 on a 4.0 scale, have outstanding football ability as a first team player and have demonstrated strong leadership and citizenship. The 121 semifinalists for the award were announced on Sept. 30, and the class is selected each year by the NFF Awards Committee, which is comprised of a nationally recognized group of media, College Football Hall of Famers, and athletics administrators.
The 2010 National Scholar-Athlete Class will be honored at the 2010 NFF Annual Awards Dinner December 7 at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York City.

The poll also showed that individuals in the £0-20k income bracket were more likely to be without ID compared to those in higher income brackets. This comes as England prepares for its first local elections requiring voters to present photo ID.
Green Party Councillor Ellie Chowns has voiced concerns, believing the new requirement will exclude many people from the democratic process. Chowns criticised the use of older persons’ bus passes as acceptable ID while excluding younger persons’ bus passes, calling the decision “fundamentally unfair.”
Cllr Chowns also highlighted the financial barriers preventing people from obtaining the necessary ID, potentially making voting more accessible to those with more money and time. Chowns expressed her concern about the risk of suppressing votes, particularly among younger people who are less likely to have ID.
Voters in England will need to show photo ID to vote in elections, including local elections, police and crime commissioner elections, UK parliamentary by-elections, and recall petitions. From October 2023, this requirement will also apply to UK General elections.

Snow flurries cause some early WNC school closures
If snow flurries equal winter, then the coldest season of the year is finally upon us.
A spate of scattered snowflakes falling from the sky caused public school officials in some parts of the region to end classes early on Monday.
Haywood and Yancey county schools both dismissed students at midday. On Tuesday, Avery County Schools will start on a 2-hour delay for students and a 1-hour delay for faculty and staff.
Light snow was falling at Asheville Regional Airport through the day, according to National Weather Service officials. Temperatures hovered around 30-31 degrees, with wind chills as low as 17. Northerly winds blew around 20 mpg, with gusts were reported up to 32 mph.
Mark Gibbs, a division maintenance engineer for the state Department of Transportation in Asheville, said on Monday that the weather had not caused any local road closures or other actions by his colleagues.
Asheville-area residents should expect the cold to carry into Tuesday, which has a forecasted high of 39 and a low of 17. Monday's overnight low is expected to be around 19, according to the National Weather Service.
But don't get used to it.
Conditions will warm up as the week progresses.
Temperatures could break 50 by Thursday, and rain is likely Thursday night and Friday during the day, according to weather officials.

MOSCOW, April 19. /TASS/. Tatneft does not rule out oil export volumes will drop in 2016, Chief Executive Officer of the Russian oil major Nail Maganov told TASS on Tuesday.
The company focuses on the domestic market, Maganov said. Oil export decline may be compensated by increase of refining volumes in Russia, he added.
The company exported approximately 61% of the whole sold crude oil in 2015, Tatneft reported earlier. Tatneft’s share of oil production in Russia approximately equals 8%.
Tatneft expects oil production to grow to 27 mln tonnes in 2016.
"In accordance with the plan - about 27 mln tonnes, with the growth. We grow, extract, we have put good money in investments. Last year we had about 26 mln tonnes," he said, answering a question about the company's oil production plans.
It was reported earlier, that Tatneft increased oil production by 2.7% year-on-year to 26.9 mln tonnes in 2015. Production in December 2015 surged 7.4% year-on-year to 2.4 mln tonnes.
Associated gas gathering was up 1.8% year-on-year to 899.5 mln cubic meters.
Taneco refinery owned by Tatneft processed 9.3 mln tonnes of feedstock from the year beginning and 798,500 tonnes in December 2015.
New drilling meterage was 915,700 meters in 2015, the company said.
Tatneft is working in the republic of Tatarstan, Samara, Orenburg, Ulyanovsk regions, Nenets Autonomous District and the republic of Kalmykia, the company is headquartered in Almetyevsk.
The company accounts for about 8% of oil production in the country and more than 80% of oil production in Tatarstan. Resource potential of Tatneft as of January 1, 2015, was estimated at 1.2 bln tonnes, including proven reserves of 843 mln tonnes.

We are delighted to report that the Planning Inspectorate has given significant weight to feedback given by a design review panel for a proposed paragraph 79 (e) house in Bedford (Bedford Borough Council reference 18/02520/FUL). Nicolas Tye Architects have secured planning permission at a planning appeal for the erection of one single storey dwelling in the countryside- (Appeal ref:- APP/K0235/W/19/3241508).
The local authority recommended that, prior to the submission of a planning application, the design was put to an appropriate design review panel to provide an independent, impartial, multidisciplinary design review.
The proposals were subject to a design review panel on three occasions and the first session incorporated a site visit. The consulted design review panel were ultimately very supportive, of what they considered to be a high-quality design stating:
"The most recent revisions to the scheme are positive individually and beneficial for the overall proposal, meeting the parameters set out in Paragraph 79 of the NPPF for sustainable development in rural areas."
It is excellent to see that the Planning Inspectorate has agreed with the views of a design review panel and given significant weight to feedback given.
The issues identified and considered by the Planning Inspector were:-
1. The main issue is whether or not the proposed design is of exceptional quality, as defined and required under paragraph 79(e) of the National Planning Policy Framework (February 2019) (the Framework), so as to justify the development of an isolated home in the countryside.
2. The inspector acknowledges that the Council, in their reason for refusing planning permission, has cited conflict with the development plan by virtue of the proposal not making a meaningful contribution to supporting the vitality and viability of services and facilities in nearby settlements. Nevertheless, it is the inspectors's interpretation of the Council’s case that these objections would fall away should it be found that the proposal accords with the requirements of paragraph 79(e) of the Framework.
Within the Planning Inspectors decision document, the inspector specifically gives significant weight to design review panel feedback, and states: -
“It was ultimately found [by a design review panel] that the scheme meets the exceptional quality threshold as set out in the Framework. Considering the ODRP’s [ design review panel] independent nature and standing, I attach significant importance to their advice and findings. ”
The Inspectors report goes on to concur with the design review panel guidance and feedback given during the pre-application design stage, stating: -
“I am satisfied that the proposal is truly outstanding. It reflects the highest standards in architecture and would raise standards of design in the local rural area. The proposal would significantly enhance its immediate setting whilst being sensitive to the defining characteristics of the area. The design is thus of exceptional quality, as defined and required under paragraph 79(e) of the National Planning Policy Framework (February 2019) (the Framework), so as to justify the development of an isolated home in the countryside.”
This appeal decision is an excellent example of the benefit of engaging with an independent, impartial, multidisciplinary and expert Design Review Panel as part of the early design/pre-application stage of a built environment project. A well-deserved result for the applicant and their design team who thoroughly and genuinely engaged in the design review process from the outset.

Traditional CV risk factors linked to peripheral artery disease
medwireNews: Smoking, Type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and hypercholesterolemia are significantly associated with the risk for clinically significant peripheral artery disease (PAD) in men, with each additional factor doubling the risk, conclude US and Dutch researchers.
"All of the 4 risk factors appeared to confer increased risk within short periods following recognition and, in the case of smoking, associated risk remained elevated even 20 years after cessation," observes Michel Joosten, from Harvard Medical School, in Boston, Massachusetts, USA, and colleagues.
"At the same time, the joint effect of multiple risk factors combined was independent and graded, with no evidence that these risk factors became less important among those already at high risk."
The team examined data from the prospective Health Professionals Follow-up Study of US male healthcare professionals aged 40 to 75 years at baseline in 1986. Information was available for 44,985 participants without cardiovascular disease at baseline, yielding 961,333 person-years of follow up over a median of 24.2 years.
The results, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, reveal that the age-adjusted incidence of PAD per 100,000 person-years was 33 cases for ever smoking, 43 for hypertension, 21 for hypercholesterolemia, and 67 for diabetes.
Furthermore, the age-adjusted incidence rate of PAD per 100,000 person-years was nine cases for no risk factors, 23 for one risk factor, 47 for two risk factors, 92 for three risk factors, and 186 for four risk factors. The absolute and age-adjusted incidence of PAD for men with all four risk factors was 3.5 per 1000 person-years and 1.9 per 1000 person-years, respectively.
The multivariable-adjusted hazard ratio (HR) for each additional risk factor was 2.06 compared with having no risk factors, while men who had no risk factors had a HR for PAD of 0.23 compared with other men.
Current smoking was associated with a substantially increased risk for PAD compared with never smoking, at a HR of 12.89, and duration of smoking was also significantly associated with PAD. Even men who had quit smoking over 20 years ago had an increased risk for PAD compared with never smokers, at a HR of 1.39.
The population attributable risk associated with the four risk factors was 75%. In 96% of cases, at least one of the four risk factors was present at diagnosis.

It seems that by almost every action we take to “improve” our lives we feed the beast that is the destroyer of worlds. I see the same thing happen here in Florida after a heavy rain, all the fertilizers that people insist on using to create a green lawn is washed into our water system and we have an algae bloom. But thankfully not as bad as this, for now.
A Chinese man walks along a Qingdao beach completely blanketed by algae on June 29.
Thick Enteromorpha algae blooms block the small amounts of sunlight that reach deeper-dwelling marine life. And when the algae die, their remains are broken down by fungi and bacteria that suck up oxygen, creating ocean dead zones, Morton explained.
An algal bloom is a feast for the microscopic decomposers, and the dead zones can persist for months as a result.
Local authorities and residents in the popular tourist destination have been struggling over the summer to remove a large mass of green algae that has washed ashore. As of late June, the algae bloom—or “green tide”—covered more than 170 square miles (440 square kilometers) of coasts south of Qingdao.
The algae blanketing the city’s beaches belongs to a species of marine plankton known as Enteromorpha prolifera. The algae can be found in waters all around the world, and can explode in so-called macro-algal blooms if conditions are right, said Steve Morton, a marine biologist at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

Remember Mark Lee? The one from the 80s? The one with the 22-yard interception return for a touchdown against the Dallas Cowboys in the 1982 playoffs? Yeah, that guy! The 47th Packers Hall of Fame induction banquet was held at the Lambeau Field Atrium this past weekend, and cornerback Mark Lee was one of the featured inductees.

Mark Lee Inducted Into Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame
Lee was drafted in the second round from the University of Washington, and played 11 seasons in Green Bay (1980-90). As a matter of fact, 31 of his 32 NFL interceptions were for the Packers. That lands Lee in second place among Packers cornerbacks all-time (eighth overall). Only Herb Adderley and Charles Woodson have him beat. Adderley is already in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and Charles Woodson is likely on his way there, too. A highlight of Lee’s career, though, was the 1982 season.
During his tenure with Green Bay, Lee had 104 passes defensed, nine forced fumbles and seven fumble recoveries. The biggest play came on January 16th, 1983, at Texas Stadium, in Lee’s third season in the NFL. Green Bay was playing the Dallas Cowboys in the second round of the NFC playoffs. The Packers had experienced a ten-year playoff drought, and the season had been shortened by a strike. They beat the St. Louis Cardinals 41-16 previously, but in the fourth quarter, they were down against Dallas. That’s when Mark Lee intercepted a pass and scored a touchdown. That score made it 30-26 for Dallas, but put the Packers within one score of the Cowboys. In the end, the Packers fell by a 37-26 scoreline. These two games were Lee’s only appearance in the playoffs during his career, but he had made his mark.
But it wasn’t “just” that now-famous 22-yard interception that got Lee inducted to the Packers Hall of Fame. For starters, he is the classic example of a consistent player. He started in 139 of the 157 games he played in, and missed only eight games in Green Bay. He led the team in interceptions in 1981 (six, tied with Maurice Harvey) and 1986 (nine). Those nine picks in 1986 put him in a tie for second place in the NFL that year. It also tied him for second in franchise history for a single season, along with a slew of other players who were all bested by Irv Comp (ten interceptions in the 1943 season). Lee led the Packers in kickoff returns in his first two seasons. With an average 9.4 yards, he led the Packers, and ranked 11th in the league in punt returns in 1981. Not bad for a newbie.
The Packer Hall of Fame Association was founded in 1967. Induction ceremonies to the team’s Hall of Fame began in 1970, making the Packers the first team to do so. Since then, inductees have been added annually, and there are now over 150. Today, a variety of Packers memorabilia, artifacts and trophies are on display in the two-level Hall. This includes trophies from the Packers 13 world championships, a replica of Vince Lombardi’s office, and plaques representing each of the inductees. Visitors can also listen to stories as told by the players – stories like the one about Lee’s touchdown against Dallas. At last weekend’s induction ceremony, Lee was presented by his former high school football coach, Bob Jimenez. Mark Lee may have had to wait 26 years for the call to come, but hey, better late than never.

Trending News: Star Indian cricketer Virat Kohli recently shared a sweet anecdote from his early days of dating Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma on AB de Villiers’ YouTube show and it’s the cutest thing ever. In the conversation, Virat revealed a text message he sent to Anushka during the initial days of their relationship, which left him feeling “awkward”.
He had sent her a message saying, “You know, when I used to be single, I used to do this and that…” to which Anushka replied, “What do you mean you used to be?” Virat mentioned that he had already decided in his mind and heart that they were dating, and the interaction left him feeling a bit uncomfortable.
Many fans on Twitter have been relating to Virat’s text message story and asking, “When is it our turn?” Others have been calling the couple “couple goals” and commenting on how cute their relationship is. "He was lucky he got the girl... Humara toh kaat jata haii last mein," a user commented with crying emoji. "'I had already decided in my mind and heart that we're dating.'naah, but anushka sharma won at life for real," another user wrote.

Virat also shared the story of their first meeting while shooting a commercial. He was extremely nervous and his first comment to her had something to do with their relative heights. However, as the shoot went on, he realized that Anushka was a pretty “normal” person, and they connected on the same things that a usual middle-class household would experience.
Virat and Anushka tied the knot in December 2017 after dating for years. The couple welcomed their daughter Vamika in January 2021, and their photos and supportive messages for each other regularly on social media set heartwarming examples of a successful celebrity relationship.

1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates generally to communication systems and more particularly to high frequency latch circuits used therein.
2. Description of Related Art
Communication systems are known to transport large amounts of data between a plurality of end user devices, which, for example, include telephones (i.e., land lines and cellular), facsimile machines, computers, television sets, personal digital assistants, etc. As is known, such communication systems may be local area networks (LANs) and/or wide area networks (WANs) that are stand-alone communication systems or interconnected to other LANs and/or WANs as part of a public switched telephone network (PSTN), packet switched data network (PSDN), integrated service digital network (ISDN), or the Internet. As is further known, communication systems include a plurality of system equipment to facilitate the transporting of data. Such system equipment includes, but is not limited to, routers, switches, bridges, gateways, protocol converters, frame relays, and private branch exchanges.
The transportation of data within communication systems is governed by one or more standards that ensure the integrity of data conveyances and fairness of access for data conveyances. For example, there are a variety of Ethernet standards that govern serial transmissions within a communication system at data rates of 10 megabits-per-second, 100 megabits-per-second, 1 gigabit-per-second and beyond. Synchronous Optical NETwork (SONET), for example, currently provides for up to 10 gigabits-per-second. In accordance with such standards, many system components and end user devices of a communication system transport data via serial transmission paths. Internally, however, the system components and end user devices may process data in a parallel manner. As such, each system component and end user device must receive the serial data and convert the serial data into parallel data without loss of information. After processing the data, the parallel data must be converted back to serial data for transmission without loss of information.
Accurate recovery of information from high-speed serial transmissions typically requires transceiver components that operate at clock speeds equal to or higher than the received serial data rate. Higher clock speeds require oscillator circuits to have gain-bandwidth products to sustain high frequency oscillations while maintaining low phase noise. High phase noise contributes to clock jitter which degrades clock recovery in high-speed circuits. Higher clock speeds limit the usefulness of prior art clock recovery circuits that require precise alignment of signals to recover clock and/or data. Higher data rates require greater bandwidth for a feedback loop of the clock recovery circuits to operate correctly. Some prior art designs are bandwidth limited.
As the demand for data throughput increases, so do the demands on a high-speed serial transceiver. The increased throughput demands are pushing some current integrated circuit manufacturing processes to their operating limits. Integrated circuit processing limits (e.g., device parasitics, trace sizes, propagation delays, device sizes) and integrated circuit (IC) fabrication limits (e.g., IC layout, frequency response of the packaging, frequency response of bonding wires) limit the speed at which the high-speed serial transceiver may operate without excessive jitter performance or phase noise performance.
One solution for high-speed serial transceivers is to use an IC technology that inherently provides for greater speeds. For instance, switching from a Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) process to a silicon germanium or gallium arsenide process would allow integrated circuit transceivers to operate at greater speeds, but at substantially increased manufacturing costs. CMOS is more cost effective and provides easier system integration. Currently, for most commercial-grade applications, including communication systems, such alternate integrated circuit fabrication processes are too cost prohibitive for widespread use.
Modern communication systems, including high data rate communication systems, typically include a plurality of circuit boards that communicate with each other by way of signal traces, bundled data lines, back planes,

Higher bonus and overtime payments meant that underlying average earnings were 3.25 per cent higher in December and January than a year earlier, according to the Department of Employment. Last month, earnings growth was estimated to be only 3 per cent in the year to December, unchanged on the previous three months.
The DoE said the rise had not been driven by higher pay settlements, although surveys by the Confederation of British Industry, Incomes Data Services and Industrial Relations Services have all shown pay rises picking up.
The latest earnings figures included the 3 per cent pay increase settled on by 30,000 workers in the vehicle building industry, which followed a pay freeze last year.
But the knitting and clothing industry federations both reached lower settlements than last year, while the 286,000 workers in motor vehicle retail and repair settled at 2 per cent for a second successive year.
However, DoE figures show that more substantial rises in pay settlements are in the pipeline. In April more than 600,000 workers in schools and the National Health Service will receive settlements of almost double the 1.5 per cent pay ceiling set for 1993.
Earnings continue to rise faster in manufacturing than in service industries. Underlying average earnings in the year to January for the 4.2 million manufacturing workers were 4.5 per cent higher than a year earlier, against 4.25 per cent in the year to December.
The rise in manufacturing earnings helped to push up the rate of increase in unit labour costs - the amount spent on wages and salaries to produce each unit of output - to a 16-month high.
Manufacturing unit labour costs in the three months to January were 1.3 per cent higher than a year earlier, the sharpest rate of increase since autumn 1992.
Despite the 1.5 per cent ceiling on public-sector pay settlements, the 15.7 million workers in the service sector enjoyed a 3 per cent rise in average earnings in the year to January, the third successive month in which this growth rate has increased.
Earnings growth in services has been depressed by the 1.5 per cent ceiling but, according to Simon Briscoe of Warburg Securities, it may have been boosted by year- end bonuses in financial services.Reuse content

Chinese imports of crude oil surged by 22.5% year-over-year in March to the highest monthly volumes in nearly three years, since June 2020, official data showed on Thursday as refiners are increasing fuel output to meet expected rising demand after the reopening.
Last month, China imported as much as 52.3 million tons of crude oil, per data from the country’s General Administration of Customs cited by Reuters. The import volumes in tons equal 12.3 million barrels per day (bpd)—the highest for any month since June 2020, and much higher than the 10.1 million bpd of crude oil imports in March 2022.
For the first quarter, China’s crude oil imports rose by 6.7% compared to the same period in 2022, according to the customs data.
Refiners in China have ramped up refinery runs in recent weeks, preparing for a rise in consumption and looking to capture strong margins, now that the country has ditched its “zero-Covid” policies and removed the strict curbs on travel.
A rebound in crude oil demand, as the Chinese economy returns to normal operation, pushed crude oil throughputs at refineries higher by 3.3% over the first two months of the year. At an average of 14.36 million bpd, per Reuters, Chinese refinery throughputs in January to February compared with 13.98 million bpd for the first two months of 2022 and 14.1 million bpd for December 2022.
Because of a rebound in economic activity, many expect demand for crude oil in China to surge to new record highs, driving record imports, too.
China’s economic growth could exceed official targets and consumer mobility and spending could surge after the reopening to super-charge a renewed increase in energy commodity prices, especially crude oil, Wood Mackenzie said in a report at the end of March.
Under WoodMac’s base-case scenario, Chinese oil demand would rise by 1 million bpd this year, driving the expected 2.6-million-bpd growth in global oil consumption. In a high-growth scenario, the world’s top crude oil importer could see oil demand jumping by 1.4 million bpd on the year, or about 400,000 bpd higher than in the base case, driving up oil prices by another $3-$5 per barrel compared to the base case.

Barefoot Hiking at Grand Canyon... Eventually...
Lured by the opportunity to view the annular solar eclipse from the Grand Canyon, I got a backcountry permit for Point Sublime on the North Rim and set off with hubby Steve for a bike-packing adventure up and down the 18-mile rough and rocky two-track road.
Five+ hours later, we rolled into one of the planet’s pleasingest places. “Wow” and “Woo-hoo” barely do it justice.
It was a tough place to be barefoot, though: the ground was covered with almost-invisible mini-goathead sticker-thorns. So I had to keep my old old old Merrell sandals on most of the time... the only bummer about the place. (Speaking of my old sandals: they worked great for mountain biking.)
After enjoying the eclipse and the company of the other three adventurers who’d chosen Point Sublime as their viewing platform for this rare cosmic event, it was time for our next exploit : an overnight backpacking saunter seven miles into the Grand Canyon down the North Kaibab Trail to Cottonwood Campground.
Since we were on vacation, a leisurely morning that included a big ol’ campstove breakfast meant we didn’t hit the N. Kaibab Trail until 10 am. And... since the end-of-May weather was warmer than usual, this meant the ground was too sun-baked and toasty to hike without shoes in the middle of the day. Bummer #2.
But this gave me a chance to try out my new Merrell Pipidae’s for something more than wearing to work. (They’re OK but not great for sitting at a desk and/or standing in front of a classroom: comfortable, yes, but sweat-inducing indoors)
At least in the Pipidae’s my toenails didn’t turn black from bumping up against the end of an enclosed shoe. A little chafing happened where the middle strap passed over the top of my foot, so I tried putting thin socks on, which helped a little, but I was really glad to get to Cottonwood, remove my sandals, and dip my toes, feet, and entire body in Bright Angel Creek.
After the wind gusts died down, the moonless night got peaceful and freckled with stars stars stars (and the star-like tiny glow of the North Rim Lodge high above on the canyon rim).
Morning: time to pack in the dark at 4:30 am and head back up the trail.
No bummers today... we hiked in cliff-shadow almost the whole seven miles back to the Rim, so I could remain shoeless and bliss-filled all the way up up up (~3500 feet in elevation gain during those seven miles) to the trailhead.
It took us just over five hours to hike down, and the same amount of time to hike back out. Do we go slow? Do I stop all the time to take photos? Do people love to comment on my (lack of) footwear?
Is the Grand Canyon grand?
And now I’m back home in Orange, CA, already plotting a barefoot Rim-to-Rim hike later this year... Lord willing and the creek don’t rise...

After well-publicized attacks on swimmers and surfers, and starring roles in thriller films, great white sharks have made the A-list of dreaded predators.
Yet conservation groups say the ocean giants should be protected, rather than feared, and deserve a place on endangered species lists.
Despite their prominent place in popular culture, white sharks are rare and elusive in the water, and some fear they are so scarce that their survival is at stake.
Last summer, the organizations Oceana, the Center for Biological Diversity and Shark Stewards petitioned the National Marine Fisheries Service and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife to grant white sharks protected status.
Numbers on the sharks have been hard to come by, but two recent studies suggest that only 339 adult and sub-adult white sharks live in the Northeastern Pacific.
California law bans fishing for white sharks, but fishery records show that each year California fishermen accidentally pull in between two and 25 white shark pups, and the petitions note that there may be more that aren’t reported.
Marine pollution, habitat loss and climate change could also endanger the sharks, they argue.
“White sharks, Carcharodon carcharias, of the Northeastern Pacific Ocean are in peril,” the state petition declared. “These sharks urgently need protection under the California Endangered Species Act.”
Scientists say that despite their fearsome reputation, the sharks remain a mystery, defying the kind of definitive answers that would help officials make that call.
The California Fish and Game Commission will consider on Feb. 6 whether to declare the sharks a candidate for protection, and has another year to decide whether to list them. A staff report released last week advised the commission to consider the request but cautioned that data on the sharks remain unclear.
The fisheries service is already looking at the listing request, and will decide in June whether to propose white sharks as a federally endangered species. It would then take public comment, and decide within a year whether to finalize that protection.
While the two agencies communicate about the process, they will decide separately on the endangered listings.
“There is a serious risk that this population is very low, and those numbers inherently provide a threat of extinction,” said Geoff Shester, California program director for Oceana. “By itself, that may or may not be a big concern, except that there is something we can do something about, which is (regulating) the by-catch in these fisheries.”
White sharks glide through global waters in three distinct regions including the Northeastern Pacific, which extends from Alaska to Mexico, between California and Hawaii. At lengths of up to 18 feet, with serrated, blade-like teeth, they’re the largest carnivorous sharks, making them a source of fear and fascination.
Thrillers such as “Jaws” and “Open Water” have preyed on that intrigue to capture audiences, while reports of real-life shark encounters keep beachgoers on their toes. The Los Angeles-based Shark Research Committee reported last week that there were eight authenticated shark attacks on the West Coast in 2012, all linked to great whites.
Nonetheless, scientists admit that what we don’t know about white sharks exceeds what we do.
Northeastern Pacific white sharks congregate around the Farrallones, near San Francisco, and Guadalupe Island, off Baja California. They’re also known to frequent an area that scientists call SOFA, for “shared offshore foraging area,” also dubbed the “White Shark Café.” It’s a cold expanse of open ocean, populated by sperm whales and squid.
Although tagged sharks transmit records of their whereabouts, “It’s hard to know what they’re doing out there,” said Heidi Dewar, a research fisheries biologist with the service.
Scientists assume the sharks use those places to breed and forage, but are still trying to piece together their life cycle. Young white sharks generally eat fish, and later switch to seals and sea lions.

Pray in the Spirit at all times in every prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert and always persevere in supplication for all the saints. Pray also for me, so that when I speak, a message may be given to me to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it boldly, as I must speak.
Paul asked the Christians in Ephesus to pray for him. While us preachers often offer to pray for our church members, friends, and family (and over meals and ball games and car trips, etc.) we don’t always voice our need for prayer.
There is a member of our church who reminds me often as I am about to walk down the aisle to lead worship that she is praying for me. That touches me deeply.
In the Worshipbook (jointly published in the early 1970’s by The Cumberland Presbyterian Church, The PCUS, and The United Presbyterian Church), we find this prayer “For Ministers of the Word.” Alan, Sarah, and I would welcome such a prayer being prayed for us.
In every age, O God, You have appointed spokespeople, prophets, and priests, to lead Your faithful people. May ministers of the gospel tell the truth in love. Keep them from mouthing pieties they do not mean. Make them humble people without pretense or pride, who bring light to darkness, showing the way of Jesus Christ, to whom we praise forever. Amen.

A foreign vessel headed for Baltimore Harbor with cars from Asia or sugar from South America could offload a very different commodity into the Chesapeake Bay — organisms from its native port.
To give a ship stability while traveling across the ocean, captains often add seawater to ballast tanks before the voyage. But when more goods come aboard, the ship will need to lose the extra weight. In preparation for the return trip, the crew dumps the ballast water — and whatever lives in it. Microbes. Plankton. Fish larvae from far away.
These hitchhikers may be non-native to the Bay and its environs and, if established, could disrupt the dynamics of the ecosystem. Most of the more than 150 invasive species in the Chesapeake are believed to have found their way to the Bay via ballast water, including perhaps MSX, the disease that has decimated native oyster populations.
Recognizing the threat of harmful introductions to ports across the nation, the Coast Guard now requires large ships entering or operating in the U.S. to follow a mandatory ballast water management program. For many ships this may include undergoing a ballast water exchange in the open ocean. The idea is that species from a coastal port would have difficulty surviving in the open ocean, and species adapted to the ocean would not thrive in the next port.
This method is not foolproof, though, and scientists are at work to find better ways to treat ballast water and to avoid invasions. A new initiative by the Maryland Port Administration and the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science hopes to buoy these efforts. In July 2008 the two groups partnered to open the Maritime Environmental Resource Center (MERC), an institution geared toward addressing issues facing the shipping industry, especially ballast water. Housed at the Chesapeake Biological Laboratory in Solomons, Maryland, MERC will focus on the scientific, engineering, and economic challenges of ballast water treatment systems.

I was approved for financing for Rooms To Go furniture through Synchrony Bank. I have paid my bill every single month and in some cases twice in one month.
I started receiving collection calls in dec. I answered and although confused I settled the situation. I asked her to look back through the months and she verified that I had never missed a payment and that I had indeed paid a few times twice within a month. I asked her why I was being charged 3 months of late fees then, and why am I just hearing about it.
She told me that the times I paid my bill early or twice in one month did not count towards my bill cycle. Here it is May and for the past 3 weeks I have been receiving 9 calls a day (of which I have chosen not to answer becasue it is so stressful and I was graduating and had finals) I know its going to be the exact conversation I had in Dec and I know I have also been paying my bill every month.
Long story Short, since it is interest free financing, the back will do what ever they have to do to get their money. DO NOT FINANCE WITH ROOMS TO GO!!!!!!!!
Reason of review: Problems with payment.
Preferred solution: Let the company propose a solution.

1) 双泵并联供油回路 快速时两泵同时供油，工作进给时，高压小流量泵供油，从而实现了能量的合理使用。
4) 卸荷回路卸荷回路就是使油泵空载运转(输出功率很小)的回路。根据公式N=P Q 可知，如泵的输出流量Q。为零，或输出压力P 为零，都可使泵的输出功率N 为零而实现卸荷。当系统中各个执行元件暂时不工作时，若液压泵仍以溢流阀调定的压力值排流回油箱，则造成功率损失和油液发热，所以使泵空载运行可以节能，某些功率较大的液压泵，为保护电机也应卸荷情况下轻载启动。
Hydraulic transmission has many advantages and occupies an important position in the development of electromechanical integration in our country. However, in hydraulic transmission, energy loss (leakage loss, overflow power loss, throttle power loss, friction loss, etc.) is large, and transmission efficiency is low. These energy loss of hydraulic system will become heat, making the system temperature rise, and high temperature will affect the service life of hydraulic components and system reliability, so in the design of hydraulic transmission must consider to improve efficiency. This paper mainly discusses this problem from three aspects.
1. Reasonable selection of power components
This mainly refers to the selection of hydraulic pump and motor, which should be matched according to the working load diagram, especially the quantitative pump model should not be too large, so as to reduce energy consumption.
2. Reasonably arrange pipelines
In the layout of the pipeline, as far as possible to shorten the length of the pipeline, reduce the pipeline bending and section of the sudden change, the inner wall of the pipe to smooth, choose a reasonable pipe diameter, use a lower flow rate, can reduce the pressure loss of the system, improve the efficiency of the system.
3. Reasonable selection of hydraulic circuit
Proper circuit selection can obviously improve efficiency and reduce energy consumption.
1) when the parallel oil supply circuit of double pumps is fast, the two pumps supply oil at the same time. When the operation is fed, the high pressure and small flow pumps supply oil, so as to realize the reasonable use of energy.
2) the accumulator is matched with the small flow pump in the loop of the accumulator to meet the large flow demand of the hydraulic system. When the hydraulic cylinder stops moving, the pump will fill the accumulator with oil; When the hydraulic cylinder works, the pump and accumulator supply oil simultaneously.
3) volume speed regulation circuit volume speed regulation circuit does not throttle power loss and overflow power loss of throttle speed regulation circuit, with high efficiency.
4) unloading circuit According to the formula N=P Q, such as the output flow of the pump Q. Is zero, or the output pressure P is zero, can make the output power of the pump N is zero and achieve unloading. When each actuator in the system does not work temporarily, if the hydraulic pump is still discharged back to the oil tank with the pressure value set by the overflow valve, it will cause power loss and oil heating, so the no-load operation of the pump can save energy, some hydraulic pumps with large power should be started under light load in order to protect the motor.
5) the open pressure of the remote control balance valve in the remote control balance circuit has nothing to do with the back pressure of the hydraulic cylinder, generally only 30% ~ 40% of the system pressure. The piston downward balance valve is opened by the control oil, the back pressure disappears, and the system efficiency is higher.

Kerbal Space Program 2: Everything we know so far
Kerbal Space Program 2 was not an announcement that we expected to appear with this year's Gamescom Opening Night Live event, but it's certainly one that caught everyone's eye. This sequel to the much-beloved spaceflight simulator looks to improve upon its predecessor in a great many ways, from multiplayer support to colonisation and interstellar travel.
We'll go through everything we know about the upcoming Kerbal Space Program 2 below, from release date information to in-depth trailer analysis, confirmed new gameplay features, and more.
Kerbal Space Program 2 release date
The Kerbal Space Program 2 release date has been... partially announced. That is, we know it's coming sometime in 2020, most likely in the first quarter of the year. Beyond that, no details have yet been given.
What we do know, however, is that when it arrives it'll be coming to Steam as well as potentially "other digital storefronts" according to the press release.
Kerbal Space Program 2 trailer - new gameplay revealed
This Kerbal Space Program 2 trailer is really quite fantastic, in my opinion. A mashup of beautiful interstellar vistas and glimpses of various new gameplay features that Star Theory Games are bringing to the KSP franchise, it does exactly what a good trailer should do. Check it out below.
Kerbal Space Program 2 gameplay features
This trailer, and the information that Star Theory Games have revealed to the public so far, has given us a fair idea of what's changing this time round in terms of Kerbal Space Program 2 gameplay. Below we've outlined the main confirmed changes to the original space-faring formula.
Construct colonies in Kerbal Space Program 2
By far the most ambitious new gameplay feature that Star Theory Games are adding to Kerbal Space Program 2 is the introduction of colonies. That's right: this time round you're not only in charge of constructing and piloting spacecraft, but you are also responsible for expanding Kerbal territory outwards from Kerbin and the Kerbal System as a whole.
We're assured that these colonies will pose numerous challenges, from gathering the resources required to build and maintain everything to the actual construction of "structures, space stations, habitations, and unique fuel types". With time and success you'll even be able to start constructing and launching craft from these colonies as well.
Kerbal Space Program 2 Multiplayer and Modding confirmed
Another big selling point of the game is that Star Theory Games have confirmed full Kerbal Space Program 2 multiplayer and modding support. Modding was a huge aspect of the original KSP, with in-depth mods appearing very soon after the game was first released in Early Access and consistently pushing the frontier of what was possible further and further outwards, with new parts, new planets, new mechanics, and so on.
The prospect of multiplayer is a very exciting one for many KSP veterans. How exactly it will work, Star Theory Games have yet to explain, except that it will remain "true to the spirit of the original Kerbal Space Program".
Interstellar travel with new technologies in Kerbal Space Program 2
The introduction of colony-building and a larger selection of things to do on each planet is mirrored by an expansion in just how far out you can travel in Kerbal Space Program 2. Interstellar travel will be possible in KSP 2, using a variety of new parts and "next-generation technology" to ensure your Kerbonauts get there in one piece.
I could talk about all the little snippets of new things revealed in the above gameplay trailer, about nuclear propulsion and inertial confinement fusion and so on (actually I couldn't because I haven't a fuckin' clue what those things are) - but thankfully Scott Manley has already broken down the trailer in his excellent video below. These are the things that will allow you to travel across entire star systems in Kerbal Space Program 2.
Improved accessibility, UI, tutorials, and instructions
We're also assured that the onboarding process will be greatly improved in Kerbal Space Program 2, with a clearer and more intuitive UI, better tutorials and instructions, and a general focus on improving accessibility across the board:
"Kerbal Space Program 2 will create a whole new generation of space flight experts who will find themselves accidentally learning rocket science. New animated tutorials, improved UI, and fully revamped assembly and flight instructions allow novel players to quickly put their creativity to the test without sacrificing any of the challenge from the original game."
That's pretty much everything we've been able to glean so far on the upcoming Kerbal Space Program 2, but be sure to check back here for all the latest details as they arrive. Kerbolonisation awaits!

Today, I am sharing a card I created for week's The Paper Players Challenge #142. We were asked to create a one-layer card! I LOVE challenges, and this one is no exception:
I have to admit, this challenge was not easy! I'm so used to (and I'm sure many of us are), to add layers of cardstock and pretty embellishments from our stash, but for this challenge, it was plain and simple. I used the pretty flower is from SU! Reason to Smile Stamp Set. I stamped the image with Basic Grey, Daffodil Delight and Pacific Point ink. The sentiment is from the Inspired by Stamping Store, and that's about it folks!
Thanks so much for stopping by,

Two Dutch University Teams have unveiled their new solar cars for the 2009 Australian World Solar Challenge (the 10th Challenge).
The WSC runs over 3,000 km from Darwin in North Australia to Adelaide in South Australia. The start will be on October 25, 2009.
Nuon Solar Team of TU Delft
The Nuon Solar Team consisting of 14 undergraduates from TU (Technical University) Delft, led by coach Wubbo Ockels, the only Dutch Astronaut, here left on the photo, have unveiled their entry for the unofficial world championship for solar cars. Nuna5 is ready for the team’s 5th title!
As the Nuon Solar Team has won 4 prior editions, their competitors will be putting every effort in beating them in this challenge. At first glance it seems that the Nuna5 is a further development of proven technology as could be found in its predecessor Nuna4
Twente University Solar Car Team
Twente University Solar Car Team Solar Team Twente will probably be one of the closest competitors of the Nuon Solar Car Team. Here is a video animation of it’s 2009 solar car:
They have refined two innovations of their former model: The cantilever wing design that enables them to turn the wing with solar cells to the sun and the Fresnel lenses to get more sun rays on the solar cells.
Some WSC History
To me it seems very odd that the “Official WSC Site” gives hardly any information about the 2009 edition.
The event evolved from an experiment by Danish-born adventurer Hans Tholstrup who, sponsored by BP, designed the world’s first solar car, called Quiet Achiever, in which he completed the, traversing the 4052 km (2,518 miles) between Sydney and Perth in 20 days. That was the precursor of the World Solar Challenge originally held every three years to one held every two years.
After the 4th race Hans Tholstrup sold the rights to the state of South Australia (source World Solar Challenge Wiki).
Results from the former editions:
1st Place General Motors “Sunraycer” (USA) average speed 66.9 Km/h
2nd Place Ford Australia “Sunchaser” (AUS) average speed 44.48 Km/h

Woodstock Very Old Fortified 500ml McLaren Vale – Australian wine industry pioneer Doug Collett flew spitfires in WWII and discovered fine European wines. Doug developed a love for fortified wines and left a lasting legacy of these barrel-aged beauties in oak casks. His son Scott, continues this tradition of topping the old barrels and bottling small blends of Very Old Fortifieds.
Over 20 years in barrels has resulted in a complex myriad of aromas with toffee, mocha and grilled nuts evident. The concentrated flavours and luscious texture from years of aging make this an ideal way to end a meal.
Single Price: $56.00
Any Six Bottle Buy: $42.00
Price per case (12 bottles): $504.00

Graduate study in economics is very different from undergraduate study. At the master’s level, there are two different types of degree programs. A professional or terminal master’s degree typically requires twelve-to-eighteen months of study and prepares you for employment in business or government or consulting as a working economist. It is not a step toward or preparation for a Ph.D. program in economics. These programs emphasize such quantitative skills as data analysis, statistics, and econometrics but do not typically require much higher order mathematics. Admission usually requires intermediate microeconomics, one semester of calculus, and statistics.
The second type of master’s degree is a step along the way toward a Ph.D. These programs have the same admissions requirements as a Ph.D. program and students take the same coursework as doctoral students. This type of master’s degree is most useful for the student who begins a Ph.D. program and decides to leave before completing it or the student who wants to use a master’s degree earned at a lower-rated university as a credential to secure admission to a Ph.D. program at a higher-rated university.
Doctoral study in economics is intensely (maybe even insanely) mathematical, at least in the first year. The first year of doctoral study is a mathematical boot camp that everyone must endure even though many students will use little of the high-powered mathematics in their later study and work. The mathematics is very formal, focused on proving theorems, and highly abstract. There are still abundant opportunities, however, for policy-oriented economists and for economists conducting empirical research. Beyond the first year of graduate study, there are many applied economics courses that are less mathematical as well as many courses that emphasize empirical analysis. The attrition rate from doctoral programs is relatively high, especially among domestic students (more than 50% of the Ph.D.’s awarded in economics in the U.S. are awarded to international students, and the percentage of international students in the top programs is even higher). Most of the students who leave do so either because they were insufficiently prepared for the level and kind of mathematics required in the first year of study or because they failed to anticipate it and are disinterested in it.
Even students with little or no undergraduate coursework in economics can be successful in graduate study if they have the necessary mathematical and statistical preparation. Students interested in earning a masters degree in economics should have at least one semester of calculus and one semester of statistics. Students interested in an economics doctoral program should have single and multivariate calculus, linear algebra, and statistics. Students are encouraged to take additional math courses such as probability, differential equations, and real analysis.
Students intending to pursue a Ph.D. in economics should follow the Specialized Studies in Advanced Economic Analysis curriculum, whether or not they are majoring in economics.
More information on graduate study in economics is contained in an excellent essay, “So you want to go to Econ Grad School…”by Prof. Tim Salmon. The American Economic Association undergraduate website also provides extensive information on graduate study in economics.
Students intending to pursue a Masters in Applied Economics at FSU should look at the program’s admissions requirements.

Jan Davidszoon de Heem (1606-1684), one of the greatest still-life painters of the Dutch Golden Age, brought particular brilliance to book still-lifes. He became most famous for his extravagant, late-seventeenth century paintings of picture-perfect flowers and sumptuous, fruit-laden tables. But in his twenties he produced some of the most beautiful vanitas still-lifes ever—featuring books.
The Netherlands was fascinated by gardens during the Golden Age, and its painters dominated the still-life genre, mostly with paintings of garden objects. Jan Davidszoon de Heem, whose paintings consistently sold for very large sums of money, began his career depicting fruit and flowers, as was the custom of the day. He was born into a family of still-life painters in Utrecht; his father David de Heem was a master of fruit and flower painting, and eventually his son Cornelius became a painter as well.
For a brief period of time, de Heem took a detour through the less-expected realm of vanitas paintings. These are pensive, often-monochromatic works that contemplate the brevity of life, full of symbolic objects like skulls and rotting plants. The monochromatic style was very popular in the Haarlem and Leiden schools, and by 1628 de Heem was living in Leiden and studying under vanitas master David Bailly. It was here, in the Netherlands’ oldest university city, that he produced his great book still-lifes. Books were not entirely new to Dutch vanitas—Jacques de Gleyn the Younger had painted one in 1621. But Jan Davidszoon de Heem approached them in a light and versatile fashion. He often used only two colors, and played more with light than with color. The text on the pages bemoans the shortness and futility of life—and is more subtle than a skull.
According to the scholarship, this was a time in de Heem’s life when the artist was searching for purpose. This theory is underscored by his rare room interior of the same period (1628),”Interior of a Room with a young Man seated at a Table,” featured above. The book still-life in the right corner widens to include a melancholic young man (probably a self-portrait) confined in a sparsely-appointed room. Turning away from the books, he looks toward the light for inspiration.
This uncommon de Heem gives us a rare chance to experience a painting’s journey. After many years at an Amsterdam art dealer, the painting entered a private collection, (click through to see its earlier presentation and name) before being bequeathed to the Ashmolean Museum at Oxford University in 1939, where it remains.
De Heem’s interest in painting books rather than flowers was short-lived, but his study into light made his later work special, and the relative rarity of these book still-lifes makes them notable. By 1632, Jan Davidszoon de Heem seems to have overcome his dark thoughts and moved to Antwerp. Here, he would achieve great fame thanks to his work with color and plants. Whether or not his book still-life technique influenced his later opulent paintings, the artist’s contemplative work in Leiden with books has returned to the fore.

New Business Pulse focuses on helping businesses improve employee health by reducing tobacco use
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Foundation today releases Business Pulse: Tobacco Use to help businesses improve employee health—and overall business health—by reducing tobacco use and secondhand smoke exposure. Smoking hurts the U.S. economy, costing more than $300 billion annually in direct medical care and lost productivity, including $5.6 billion a year in productivity losses from the health effects of secondhand smoke exposure.
Almost 20 percent of the nation’s workforce smokes, which not only threatens employees’ health and well-being, but also decreases productivity, increases absenteeism and increases workplace maintenance costs. Cigarette smoking remains the leading cause of preventable disease, disability and death in the United States.
“Tobacco use undermines the health and productivity of American workers,” said CDC Director Tom Frieden, M.D., M.P.H. “We encourage businesses to put in place proven solutions to reduce tobacco use and improve their employees’ health, knowing that they will also save substantial amounts on annual health care costs.”
Smokers suffer more health problems and disabilities than those who have never smoked, leading to more absenteeism at work. These statistics highlight the serious challenges businesses face:
- Each smoker is estimated to cost their employer nearly $6,000 more per year than a nonsmoker.
- Worksites that allow smoking spend about $728 more per 1,000 square feet annually in maintenance costs for office space than smokefree worksites. With U.S. commercial buildings averaging between 12,000 and 19,000 square feet, that is an estimated extra cost of about $8,736 to $13,832 annually.
- Smoking increases the risk of fires and injuries, which can increase health and building insurance costs by as much as 30 percent.
This issue of Business Pulse includes a question and answer feature with Corinne Graffunder, Dr.P.H., M.P.H., director of CDC’s Office on Smoking and Health. Business Pulse: Tobacco Use also features an interactive infographic with information that can help employers reduce and eliminate tobacco use at work and encourage smokers to quit, along with online CDC resources.
Business Pulse: Tobacco Use is one in a series of quarterly business features created by the CDC Foundation, an independent nonprofit organization. Support for this issue of Business Pulse is provided by The California Endowment. Other Business Pulse topics to date include business continuity, safe healthcare, global health security, travelers’ health, flu prevention, healthy workforce, heart health, food safety, workplace safety, business health, lowering healthcare costs and motor vehicle safety at work. Infographic images or embed code can be found on the CDC Foundation website.

MOUNT OLIVE TWP. – The Mount Olive Maniacs seventh grade girls basketball team was crowned champions of the Wayne PAL holiday tournament after defeating Montville, 31-21.
The seventh grade team had lost to Montville three times over the last two seasons, twice in overtime and once on a buzzer beater.
The Maniacs teams spent much of the holiday break participating in the Wayne PAL holiday tournament.
Mount Olive sent four teams of fourth through seventh graders to the tournament. They played about 20 games over a week and a half, and made it to the championship game in the sixth and seventh grade divisions.
On Monday, Dec. 30, the sixth and seventh grade teams played in the finals. The sixth grade team gave a great effort and came up a little short against a tough Ridgewood team.

HVAC Diagnostic Tools
The acronym HVAC generally refers to a central air system for heating and cooling a building. This usually includes a furnace, blower assembly, an evaporative coil, a compressor and compressor coil, along with the air ducts used to distribute the conditioned air within the building. The term HVAC can also be applied to similar but smaller systems used in residences.
Having the proper HVAC diagnostic tools is important for anyone working in this field who wants to do the job well. Certain equipment is necessary for most HVAC projects, such as air conditioner, air filter, diffuser, boiler, circulation pump, duct material, valves, piping, an HVAC control system, anemometer, manometer, thermometer, digital clamp meter, and gas leak detector.
An air conditioner is used to maintain temperature inside by providing or extracting heat.
Most air conditioners provide forced air. These types use air filters placed at the ventilation duct openings for collecting dust, pollen, bacteria, and mold from the circulating air. On the other hand, boilers require a circulation pump, which circulates liquids, gases, or a mixture of liquids and solids in a closed circuit to counteract the friction in piping systems.
A diffuser is an outlet vent that can be used for both all-air and air-water systems in order to ventilate the air while distributing airflow in certain directions. Diffusers are very important diagnostic tools, because indoor spaces can become overly heated or cooled without them.
Ventilation ducts can be made from many different materials, such as polyurethane, fiberglass, phenolic, fabric, and flexible ducting.
Whereas duct work provides efficient air flow, piping provides efficient water flow.
Piping can be made out of copper, concrete, glass, fiberglass, steel, plastic, and a variety of other materials.
Valves are also important HVAC diagnostic tools, because they regulate the flow of fluids within the piping system. They work by opening, closing, or partially closing pipelines, which can lead to lower gas and water bills.
HVAC Control System
The HVAC control system is set up at a convenient location in order to permit easy control of the cooling and heating systems.
Manometers are used to measure gas and water pressure.
Anemometers are used to measure the airflow velocity.
Thermometers are used for measuring the water and air temperatures.
Digital Clamp Meter
Digital clamp meters are important, because they monitor AC current, AC voltage, and DC voltage.
Gas Leak Detectors
Gas leak detectors prevent combustible gas from escaping the gas heating system. Some are also capable of measuring radon.
Having the proper HVAC diagnostic tools is crucial for efficient performance. The most important equipment to have is the air conditioner, air filter, diffuser, boiler, circulation pump, duct material, valves, piping, an HVAC control system, anemometer, manometer, thermometer, digital clamp meter, and gas leak detector.

History and specifications[edit | edit source]
The quantum burst was a hand-held projectile weapon that fired explosive charges. It was designed by a hazard team member, Ensign Korban, and follows a similar line of function and design to the photon burst. Instead of miniature photon torpedo charges however, the quantum burst utilizes new and far more destructive mini-quantum torpedoes for ammunition.
The quantum burst fires mini-quantum torpedoes at the target and are highly destructive. There is also the option of using a phased laser sight, which can make the wielder of the weapon guide the projectile to a specific target or location. (ST video game: Elite Force II)

from previous post, the scattering matrix for non-spin case is:
for a spin case, and notices that the real space and spin apace are not the same but a general state is wriiten by this:
thus, the modification for the scattering matrix is:
and the differential cross section is:
for a particular spin state, it can be expanded into a combination of the eigen spin state χ.
thus, from a particular spin state to another particular spin state will be:
the scattering amplitude now becomes a matrix, we define:
and the d.c.s. becomes:
for example, spin 1/2 cases. the scattering amplitude matrix is:
we can see that the diagonal terms are non-spin flip, while the off diagonal terms are spin flipped. it should be clear that:
sub it into the d.s.c., we have:
for example, if we have an initial state is spin up, and we only measure the down state, thus:
the half is from the fact that, each only contribute, where s is the spin of target of incident beam. in the example, target spin is 0, incident beam is 1/2 or vice via.

The NFDA Regional Meetings give members the opportunity not only to learn about the issues facing our sector, but also to exchange views with like-minded dealers across a range of franchises.
This week, the south western and southern regional meetings took place respectively in Bristol and Cobham.
Most of the discussions were centered on the General Election 2017, with its unexpected results, and the current situation of the UK new and used car market. Feedback from dealers who attended the meeting revealed that there seems to be a certain degree of uncertainty particularly due to the need for stability in the political environment.
Other topical issues discussed included changes to the General Data Protection Regulation, consumer legislation, as well as concerns affecting the dealer/manufacturer relationship, finance & insurance, and HR & employment.
The dates and venues of the next meetings are:
Our meetings start at 10.30 am and finish with lunch.
If you are interested in attending, please contact Louise Woods on 01788 538332 or email email@example.com.

US 4956026 A
A structure comprising a base of an age-hardened alloy having on at least part of the surface thereof a layer of precious metal. The precious metal, e.g. gold, contains amounts of nickel grading downwardly from the inner surface of the precious metal layer such that the outer surface contains about 1% to about 10% nickel. The process of making such a structure is also disclosed.
1. A process for producing an age-hardened article having on the surface thereof a layer of precious metal from the group consisting of gold and platinum group metals comprising:
(a) providing in a condition to be age-hardened a nickel and/or cobalt surfaced structure having a base of an alloy age-hardenable in the range of 300
(b) depositing on at least part of the surface of said structure a layer of said precious metal correlated in thickness to the time and temperature of age-hardening such that after age-hardening said precious metal will have a surface nickel plus cobalt content of about 1% to about 10% by weight effective to increase the wear-resistance of said layer of precious metal; and
(c) thereafter age-hardening said structure having said base and said precious: metal layer to thereby effect:
(1) interdiffusion of said precious metal and said nickel to enhance both the adhesion of said precious metal layer to said base and enhanced wear-resistance of said precious metal without destruction of the inherent qualities of said precious metal; and
(2) hardening of said base alloy.
2. A process as in claim 1 wherein said precious metal is gold.
3. A process as in claim 2 wherein said gold is in a layer about 0.1 to about 2.5 micrometers thick.
4. A process as in claim 1 wherein said nickel and/or cobalt surface on said article is an electrodeposit.
5. A process as in claim 1 wherein the nickel and/or cobalt surface on said structure is about 1 to about 10 micrometers in thickness.
6. A process as in claim 1 wherein said age-hardenable alloy is a copper-base alloy.
7. A process as in claim 1 wherein said age-hardenable alloy is an iron-base alloy.
8. A process as in claim 1 wherein said age-hardenable alloy is a nickel-base alloy.
9. A process as in claim 6 wherein said copper-base alloy is age-hardenable in the temperature range of 300 0.1 to about 3 hours.
10. A process as in claim 9 wherein said age-hardenable copper-base alloy is selected from the group of precipitation hardenable copper-base alloys and copper-base alloys hardenable by the mechanism of spinodal decomposition.
11. A process as in claim 10 wherein said age-hardenable copper-base alloy is a copper-beryllium alloy.
12. A process as in claim 10 wherein said age-hardenable copper-base alloy is a copper-nickel-tin alloy hardenable by the mechanism of spinodal decomposition.
This is a division of co-pending application Ser. No. 169,283 filed on Mar. 17, 1988.
The present invention is concerned with articles, parts or structures made of an age-hardened metal and having on the surface thereof a coating of wear-resistant precious metal, e.g. gold, platinum or palladium, and more particularly with a process for making same.
The present invention is an improvement with respect to a process and product disclosed by Manfrid Dreher in U.K. Specification No. 934,559 published Aug. 21, 1963. For convenience this specification will be designated the "Dreher patent". The Dreher patent discloses the problem sought to be solved by applicant and a partial solution thereto. Dreher suggests forming an article from an age-hardenable alloy while that article is in the solution-treated or soft annealed condition. The formed article, otherwise ready for hardening by aging heat treatment is then plated with gold or a gold alloy. The thus formed plated article is then subjected to an aging treatment suitable for the particular substrate alloy employed and ranging in temperature from 325 600 discloses that he produces components which have excellent mechanical properties and maximum protection against corrosion.
Applicant has exactly the same purposes in mind as did Dreher but, in addition, applicant desires to produce a finished article, component or the like in which the surface precious metal is controllably alloyed so that enhanced wear resistance can be achieved without significantly, detrimentally affecting the character of the precious metal on the object surface. The difficulty with the process of the Dreher patent is that while inherently Dreher must have conceived of the interdiffusion of elements from the age-hardening substrate alloy and the overlayer of gold or other precious metal, no control steps or features are disclosed by Dreher to enable a worker in the art to

We believe everyone has a right to life’s basic necessities. Many families in Western Australia are faced with agonising decisions every week about how to cover household expenses. Having access to adequate income and a safe place to call home is essential for health, safety and active participation in society.
Families experiencing hardship often face compounding challenges such as health issues, mounting debt and barriers to accessing employment.
Anglicare WA supports over 4,500 people each year with poverty alleviation measures including:
- Financial Counselling
- Financial assistance, support and education in Mandurah and Rockingham
- Hardship Utility Grants Scheme
- No and low interest loans
What are the main issues?
- More than 230,000 Western Australians (9%) are living in poverty, including 44,000 children.1
- More than 100,000 Western Australians are living in entrenched disadvantage; experiencing a combination of poverty, barriers to accessing basic necessities and social exclusion.
- Households on low incomes can quickly be thrust into a downward spiral of financial hardship as a result of a health crisis, unemployment, family separation, unexpected cost increases or receiving a fine or infringement.
- Increasing income inequality is leading to greater social fragmentation, social isolation and concentrations of social disadvantage in WA.
1Based on Productivity Commission (2018) Rising Inequality and calculations provided by Bankwest Curtin Economics Centre 2017.
Maintain a strong social safety net that respects people’s dignity
A responsive social safety net respects people’s dignity and recognises that they make different transitions through life, and does not penalise people as they move through these transitions, including moving from education to partial and full employment, into and out of cultural and family responsibilities, into and out of semi-retirement, illness, family breakdown, natural disasters, and simple loss of employment. The safety net should be easy to access for people when they need it.
Raise the Rate
The Federal Government should undertake a comprehensive review of the income support system to ensure it is adequate and fair. In the meantime, it should raise the rate of Newstart to reduce rates of poverty, improve people’s prospects of finding decent paid work and strengthen local communities.
Fairness in fines
An $85 parking fine may be little more than an annoyance to a high income individual, but for others, who are living in poverty, it can mean being unable to afford food or pay rent. Fines should be proportionate to a person’s income to ensure it has the same effect. State and local governments should adopt a sliding scale so fines are commensurate with a person’s capacity to pay, and make it easier for people to ‘cut out’ fines via community service participation instead of prison time.
Water, electricity and gas should be accessible to all
No one should go hungry or lose their home due to the high cost of utilities. Energy tariffs must be adjusted to ensure affordability for low income households. Concessions should be set at appropriate levels, and be easy to access, to reduce financial hardship among low income households.

127 Street Reconstruction (118 Avenue to Yellowhead)
127 Street from 118 Avenue to Yellowhead Trail serves as a major commuter corridor linking the downtown area to residential and commercial developments north of Yellowhead Trail.
121 Street/127 Street Interchange
Concept planning will identify the configuration of the interchanges and adjacent roadways, as well as land requirements for the construction of these new facilities. An important part of concept planning is public engagement, to ensure an understanding of area needs and possible impacts of roadway changes. Stakeholder feedback will help inform the concept plan and ongoing design considerations.
127 Street through these 2 neighbourhoods is a one-way northbound collector road with parking on the east side and a contraflow bike lane on the other. Northbound cyclists share the travel lane with motor vehicle traffic. This roadway has been a bike route for 30 years and is well-used by residents to access destinations within the neighbourhoods including parks, schools and businesses along 124 Street.
Pedestrian dead after being struck by 2 vehicles in northwest Edmonton
Edmonton police said at about 7:30 p.m., a 38-year-old woman was walking south on a sidewalk between 128 Avenue and 127 Avenue. It is believed she was crossing 127 Street when a black Toyota Corolla hit her. The driver of the vehicle remained on scene, police said.
List of streets in Edmonton
119 Street currently begins at Anthony Henday Drive with a westbound right-in/right-out exit. It continues north but is presently segmented by Blackmud Creek. There were originally plans to construct a bridge across Blackmud Creek; however the proposal was removed from the transportation plan in 2011 for environmental reasons. 119 Street resumes as 23 Avenue and travels north past Derrick Golf and Winter Club to Whitemud Drive, where it becomes 122 Street. It passes through the South Campus of the University of Alberta where it meets Fox Drive and turns east becoming Belgravia Road. It continues along the northern boundary of the South Campus to 113/114 Street, where it downgrades to a residential street and continues east as 72 Avenue.
In 2011-2012, the City of Edmonton completed and endorsed a strategic plan for the development of Yellowhead Trail to become a freeway. This expansion is part of Edmonton’s Transportation Master Plan and will help to move goods and services more efficiently through this part of the City. The proposed plan will improve traffic flow along Yellowhead Trail as traffic volumes continue to grow and will significantly improve safety at several high-collision locations.
13441 127 Street Northwest
13441 127 Street Northwest is in the Kensington neighborhood. Kensington is the 55th most walkable neighborhood in Edmonton with a neighborhood Walk Score of 64.
12921 127 Street Northwest
12921 127 Street Northwest is in the Calder neighborhood. Calder is the 88th most walkable neighborhood in Edmonton with a neighborhood Walk Score of 57.
Please Note: Traffic barriers across 124 Street at 123 Avenue will remain in place as part of the Prince Charles Community Traffic Management Plan. The implications of reinstating 124 Street as a detour, even temporarily, are significant for Prince Charles, as it would see a return of 4000-6000 vehicles per day, as well as additional detour traffic adjacent to the neighbourhood park and residential properties during the summer months when more people are out and about.
On the evening of June 14, 1986, the fourth car of the yellow train derailed before encountering the third and final loop. The train failed to clear the loop and slid backwards fishtailing wildly and crashing into a concrete pillar. Damage from the derailment caused the lap bars to disengage at some point during the ride, throwing its four passengers at least 25 feet (7.6 m) to the floor below. Three passengers died in the incident, while a fourth was critically injured. About 19 others were treated for less severe injuries at the nearby Misericordia Community Hospital. An investigation determined that bolts on the left wheel assembly worked loose causing the accident, and that design flaws by Schwarzkopf along with a lack of maintenance by the mall were likely to blame.

We have a production network (VLAN) which strictly has not Internet access via an explicit Firewall rule ‘block everything’. This is because we undergo security audits and handle certain sensitive content.
We are now however allowed to provide a degree of Internet web browsing inside the production network, provided we use browser isolation.
I have the Warp client and browser isolation all setup and working on a network outside of our production network for testing purposes - this test network has Internet access.
My query here is how can a policy be created to simply Isolate all web traffic and if so how as there does not seem to be obvious options in the expressions area of the http policy to isolate all traffic?
Also, I’d like to restrict specific file types for upload/download, can anyone steer me on how to achieve this as again, there is nothing obvious in the expression area to do this?
Many thanks in advance.

A pop-up store selling pre-loved uniforms, basic stationery supplies and offering free back-to-school haircuts will open its doors to the community from Monday.
The School Savvy Pop-Up Shop is coming to Bundaberg for the first time this year, with plenty of supplies ready to help get families ready for the start of 2020 schooling.
School Savvy CQ assistant coordinator Danielle Mitchell said inquiries had already been flooding the School Savvy Facebook page and website.
“We’ve received queries about the day itself and how it will work, as well as people wishing to donate and help in any way they can,” she said.
“It’s fantastic to see the interest ramping up for this initiative which helps so many families.
“The pop-up shop will have a range of low-cost stationery and pre-loved uniforms to give school aged children the best possible start to the 2020 school year.”
What is School Savvy?
Danielle said the School Savvy initiative aimed to help families who were experiencing tough financial times.
Offering uniforms, exercise books, scrapbooks, pens, pencils and so much more, she said School Savvy helped to ensure all children within the community had the right resources needed to succeed at school, regardless of their financial circumstances.
“School Savvy strives for inclusiveness by not applying an eligibility criteria,” Danielle said.
“Our shop operates on an honesty policy where we ask that people respect the School Savvy program as one that helps those struggling financially.
“It takes a community to raise a child, and School Savvy is proud to play a part in improving children's education.”
School Savvy Bundaberg pop-up shop
The Bundaberg School Savvy shop will open from Monday, January 13-17 at the Civic Centre on Bourbong Street from 9am to 4pm.
Coming off the back of 2019’s successful event, which was held in the Rockhampton and Capricorn Coast regions, Danielle said she expected this year’s pop-up shops to exceed last year’s numbers.
“With the expansion of School Savvy now in Bundaberg this year, the project itself has increased exponentially,” she said.
“Last year’s pop-up shops saw more than 1400 attendees across the region, more than 400 families supported and more than 700 individual children helped.
“We are very excited to be able to help so many children and families within our community.”

What you need to know about diarrhea medicines
The medicine stock of the Indian medical sector has been hit by a spate of deadly outbreaks, with many people in the country’s largest state reporting bouts of diarrhea and stomach ache that have affected hundreds of thousands of people in a matter of weeks.
According to a report by the National Crime Records Bureau, there were 6,632 recorded cases of diarrhea among the 8,521,000 people in India, with another 2,746,000 reported cases.
Of the total number of cases reported, 5,639 cases have been attributed to the use of the antibiotic rifampin, a widely used, widely-used and well-tolerated anti-diarrheal drug.
On Monday, the Centre of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Research, a government body, said that over 1,000 more cases of diarrhoea have been reported in Uttar Pradesh, and the state is currently on alert to curb the epidemic.
Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) general secretary and leader of the Opposition in the Rajya Sabha, Suresh Kumar said the situation is so dire that the government should not have taken a decision to release the drug, as the government could not afford to have a shortage of the drug in the market.
He said the government has failed to provide any medical facilities for the millions of people suffering from the disease, and that people in need should be given the option to get the drug.RSS has also said the state should have given priority to the supply of the vaccine to those who are sick and require treatment, and asked the Centre to take steps to ensure the safety of the drugs supply.
The party also called on the government to immediately release the antibiotic Rifampicin, which was the first batch of the medicine released under the national emergency that the Supreme Court has granted to the government.
The RSS also called for the state to take the steps to stop the spread of the disease.

“The time for excuses is over. It’s very, very clear that the risk is zero. If you are on suppressive antiretroviral treatment you are sexually non-infectious” — Dr. Alison Rodger of University College London, lead author of PARTNER 2, presenting at the 22nd International AIDS Conference in Amsterdam, July 25, 2018.
It’s difficult to overstate the power of this message for people with HIV, such as myself, because it changes what it means to live with HIV. It opens up social, sexual and reproductive choices we and our sexual partners never thought would be possible. It encourages those of us with HIV to start and stay on treatment to keep both us and our sexual partners healthy. It’s an opportunity to transform how we see ourselves, how we’re perceived by our families and friends, by our current or potential sexual partners, and by people in general.
The past few years have been a rollercoaster for those of us most impacted by HIV. The use of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) by people who are HIV-negative has gone from being discredited and shamed to become one of the keystones of a renewed and revitalized push to “end the HIV epidemic”. The other life-changing piece of research is the landmark PARTNER study that showed us, once and for all, that the sexual transmission of HIV does not occur in people whose viral loads are undetectable. The joyous global uptake of the U=U message has been nothing short of inspirational.
We recently completed a study focused on how to improve SIS-police relationships. For this research, we interviewed SIS managers, program coordinators and police liaisons in Europe, Australia, Quebec and British Columbia, reviewed international literature on harm reduction training for police, and conducted focus group consultations with Toronto-based SIS/harm reduction workers, people who inject drugs and police. Our multi-stakeholder team (including researchers, SIS managers, harm reduction workers and student trainees) used the information we gathered to identify factors that may help to improve relationships between SIS and local police. Here are our five recommendations:
One of the highlights of last month’s 22nd International AIDS Conference in Amsterdam (AIDS 2018) was the release of the “Expert consensus statement on the science of HIV in the context of criminal law”. In this statement, 20 eminent world scientists — including two leading Canadian researchers — provided their conclusive opinion on the low-to-no possibility of a person living with HIV transmitting the virus in various situations, including via sexual acts. Published in the peer-reviewed Journal of the International AIDS Society, the statement describes the current evidence on HIV transmission, treatment effectiveness and forensics so that HIV-related science may be better understood in criminal law contexts. You can learn more about the evidence in the statement from the short summary and a Frequently Asked Questions document, both available here.
At this year’s International AIDS Conference (AIDS 2018) in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, we witnessed several pivotal developments in the global HIV response. We also saw some setbacks in our efforts to prevent infections and improve the lives of people living with HIV.
From clinical science and epidemiology to human rights and advocacy, here are some highlights of the good news and the bad news from AIDS 2018.
The CATIE Blog hosts the views and opinions of people and organizations working and volunteering in Canada’s response to HIV and hepatitis C.

US President Announced Availability of More Gulf Oil and Gas Exploration
The administration of President Obama recently said that it will open up another part in the Gulf of Mexico for hydrocarbon exploration. That would mark the third expansion since the disaster of BP’s Deepwater Horizon oil rig back in 2010.
The planned sale of leases covering 15.4 million hectares of the Gulf is set to happen in March of 2013, said Ken Slazar, Secretary of Interior of the United States. The area may consist of crude and natural gas reserves of about 1 billion barrels, according to officials.
The area in question is located from 5 to 370 kilometers offshore with depths of at least 3 to more than 3,600 meters.
Since December 2011, the current U.S. administration offered almost 24.3 million hectares for bids. It has so far received an oil investment of $2.25 billion dollars for leases spanning 1.4 million hectares, according to the Department of the Interior.
Oil and gas exploration in the Mexican Gulf remains a tough topic since the huge 2010 oil spill following an oil rig explosion that led to the deaths of 11 workers. That was considered the biggest accidental crude spill in the history of the oil industry
President Obama has decided to open additional areas for oil investment that was previously considered as unavailable or controversial because of environmental worries. However, the president has advanced his policies regarding solar, wind and biodiesel energy investments, and enacted new regulations to increase car mileage by 50 percent by 2025 as part of his “all of the above” approach to energy.
Tougher ocean drilling safety and environmental rules came after the disaster. Just recently, Royal Dutch Shell was obliged to postpone oil drilling in the waters of the Alaskan Arctic until the spring thaw next year after it saw damages from an oil spill containment dome, a new ocean oil drilling requirement of the United States.
Since Obama held office, the domestic oil output is at its highest in eight years and the flow of natural gas at its highest ever, according to officials. International oil imports consist of less than 50 percent of the total daily consumption of the United States, amounting to 19 million barrels, the lowest rate since 1995.

FRANKFORT, KY -- Local and state officials take issue with a report that says Kentucky is among 10 states least prepared for the larger-than-normal turnout expected for the 2008 presidential election, reports the Lexington Herald-Leader in its Saturday edition.
The Brennan Center for Justice at New York University School of Law issued a report this week that said Kentucky is ill-prepared to address "all the most common election system meltdowns" such as machine breakdowns and fraud.
Although Fayette County Clerk Don Blevins said the report is put out by people with an agenda to push states away from all-electronic voting, Kentucky Secretary of State Trey Grayson has recommended that counties buy machines that provide some sort of paper trail, the Herald Leader reports.
"Our essential question: In the event of voting system failures, how prepared is each state to ensure that every voter can vote and that each vote cast is counted?" the Brennan Center report said.
"We are absolutely ready for the election, despite what their report tries to claim," Grayson said Friday. "For them to conclude that we are not ready is wrong and irresponsible."
County clerks anticipate a large turnout for the Nov. 4 election based on the increased numbers seen in voter registration, absentee ballots and walk-in voting, reports the Herald Leader.
"I mean, it's really up," said Pam Wise, deputy county clerk in Scott County. "It's going to be a very good turnout, very heavy."
The Brennan Center report recommends that states move to some sort of voter-verified paper record in their voting system as a check against potential electronic miscounts. The only two forms of these records are optical scan ballots, which are filled out by the voter and read by a scanner, and "paper trails," which are printed and used with touch-screen machines.
Grayson noted that voters in 34 Kentucky counties, including Bourbon, Scott and Woodford, will vote for the first time on new digital scan voting systems. Jefferson County has used a similar optical scan system for years. The digital scan system provides a paper record that was recommended by the Brennan Center report. More than 90 counties in Kentucky already use the machines for absentee balloting, reports the newspaper.
Grayson agrees on the effectiveness of paper-based systems. But Blevins, the Fayette County clerk, does not.
Fayette County continues to use electronic eSlate machines that do not offer a paper trail to verify votes, the newspaper reports.
Blevins said the Brennan report is the latest installment in "a national argument" about the best voting system. He disagrees with the conclusion that a paper-based voting system offers more security than an electronic machine, reports the Lexington Herald-Leader.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The Jacksonville Jaguars' running backs are a close group off the field so that's why they wanted to be introduced as one group on the field on Sunday.
When Toby Gerhart's named was announced as the Jaguars' starter during pre-game introductions, the entire group of backs -- Jordan Todman, Storm Johnson, Denard Robinson and fullback Will Ta'ufo'ou -- accompanied him onto the field and through the dual lines of cheerleaders and teammates.
"We're just a tight group and we just said, 'Why not?'" Gerhart said Monday. "We saw our names on the board, Will and I, and said, 'Let's all come out together.' So we did that."
Todman said the group's closeness is a carryover from last season with Maurice Jones-Drew. They hung out together a lot and started calling themselves the wolf pack. They didn't get introduced as a group in 2013 but decided to take it one step further on Sunday, mainly because it is a group contribution. Every running back has carried the ball at one time or another this season and Ta'ufo'ou has contributed as a blocker and three pass receptions.
"We remembered doing it and the feeling that we had," Todman said. "It was a group decision: 'Why not? Let's do it.' It was good to have everybody out there active and able to play."
Will it they run onto the field as a group in the future, though?
"I'm totally fine with it," Todman said. "I'm sure we'll have a conversation. We'll figure it out and figure out what works."

View Full Version : Could using Head & Shoulders make problems worse longterm?
August 1st, 2008, 11:04 PM
I've been using head and shoulders shampoo for YEARS every time i shampoo. Of course sometimes i CO, now i CWC. Sometimes i use other shampoos after the head and shoulders. But still, i do have dandruff, not horribly bad, but its there.
Could long term use of the Head & Shoulders be causing my frizz/dry hair issues? Would Nizoral be better to use? the prescription kind? I also use H&S conditioner, but i dont think thats any problem, its actually really moisterizing.
August 2nd, 2008, 01:39 AM
I don't know if you have the same problem as me, but I use to have to use anti-dandruff shampoos for years. If I switched to a normal shampoo, I'd get horrible flakes. I used Head and Shoulders for ages and then eventually switched to the Body Shop because of the animal testing.
After I found this site, I gave up the anti-dandruff shampoo and started doing a vinegar rinse after shampoo and conditioner. It seems that my scalp was too alkaline I think and the acid completely solved my scalp problems. I've been flake free for about 9 months now, just because of the vinegar rinses.
I don't know if it works for everyone but it was definitely the cause of my problems. The anti-dandruff shampoos did work in that they removed the flakes, but they were so harsh that they left my hair constantly frizzy. I noticed you started a thread about frizz so if you haven't tried this I'd strongly reccomend giving it a go.
You can use citric acid I think as an alternative if you don't like the vinegar smell. I just do shampoo and condition (I've now switched to diluted shampoo but I wasn't able to do this for a few months), and then the vinegar rinse (about a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in a litre of water). I leave on the vinegar rinse for about 2 minutes and then I rinse it (but not trying to rinse the scalp too much). Sometimes I use a mix of water and essential oils to hide any remaining smell.
As I said, I really really recommend trying this to anyone who is a constant anti-dandruff shampoo user. If you have to use these kind of shampoos for years then there's a good chance I think that it's not actually dandruff, just flakes. It's the best change I've made since I joined and my hair is almost frizz free now.
ETA: I didn't think my hair was dry either, in fact it felt really nice, but I'm sure it was something in the anti-dandruff shampoos causing my problems. Maybe the massive amounts of sulphates. I still use a sulphate shampoo but dandruff shampoos are soooo much stronger.

I have to agree with Anna...dandruff shampoos never, ever helped my severe dandruff; natural hair care has been much better! SD has also been part of it - itching, flaky, crusty buildup.
First I discovered vinegar rinses, which really did help, but didn't solve the problem. Oh, and I was using Nioxin shampoo/condish at the time = full of 'cones. On the recommendation of a longhaired friend, I started using Rhassoul as a hair wash, which also helped but seemed to make my hair drier.
The best thing was stretching my washes out and letting my hair and scalp adjust to the increased sebum production. You recently posted that your hair is frizzy, no matter what you do - could you be washing it too much?
The other big thing I am still retraining myself to do is not to touch my hair /scalp too much. This makes it greasy and, in the case of my scalp, makes it itch more.
Having more moisture (sebum as well as artificial moisture in the form of misting, conditioner, oil) has really helped both the frizz and the flakiness, though my hair is still frizzy.
So to answer your overall question, I would try to find something gentler than head and shoulders, and look into addressing the underling problem - food allergy? Fungus overgrowth? cosmetic allergy? Not enough 'good' fats in your diet? etc etc

I agree that head and shoulders might be aggrivating your frizz issue. I

Bruins, Celtics on deck…
Enjoy all the latest Boston sports stories here…
Get ready for the latest Boston sports news right here at MySportsToday.com. Gotta love this new feed from ESPN – the sports giants.
NBA League sources have confirmed that the Boston Celtics are willing to consider trades involving either Ray Allen or Rajon Rondo, 2 of the key stars who helped bring an NBA championship back to Boston in 2008. Allen has an expiring $20 million contract at the end of the 2009-2010 NBA season, and the Celtics seem reluctant to give Rondo the lucrative, long-term deal that he seeks. While the 34-year Allen is in the twilight of his career, the 24-year old Rondo has emerged as a big-game player, averaging 11.9 points, 8.2 assists and 5.2 rebounds during the regualr season. Rondo also had 3 triple-doubles in the playoffs this past season.
While Celtics GM Danny Ainge and Pistons GM Joe Dumars never actually spoke about this proposed trade, NBA league sources have reported that low-level executives from the Celtics and Pistons discussed a trade that would have sent Allen and Rondo to the Celtics for Tayshaun Prince, Richard Hamilton and Rodney Stuckey. The trade makes little sense for the Pistons (unloading 3 of their 4 best players for 1 old guy and 1 young guy), and reports have it that the Pistons exec immediately rejected the deal.
It should be interesting to see if the Celtics make a move this off-season. Without Kevin Garnett much of the season, the Celtics weaknesses were exposed as the Chicago Bulls took them to the brink of elimination with a grueling 7-game series in the 1st round of the playoffs. It seems clear that Ainge is trying to make some productive moves now to better his ball club before it’s too late.
Dwight Howard and the Orlando Magic will take on Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA Finals tonight at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
The Lakers lost to the Boston Celtics in 6 games of the 2008 NBA Finals last year. For the Magic, this is their 1st trip to the NBA Finals since they were swept in 1995.
Looking at historical numbers, the Lakers clearly have the edge – 14 titles with 61 finals games wins along the way. The Magic have yet to win a trophy let alone win an NBA Finals game. Lakers head coach Phil Jackson has 9 championship rings. Magic head coach Stan Van Gundy only has 1 and that came as an assistant coach.
On the other hand, the Magic defeated the Lakers in both meetings during the 2008-9 NBA schedule. In the 2008-9 NBA playoffs schedule, the Magics knocked off the defending champion Celtics and then ousted the NBA’s best team – the Cleveland Cavaliers in just 6 games. If not for Lebron James’ mireaculous game-winning 3-point heave with 1 second left on the clock in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference, the Magic would have likely swept the Cavs out of the playoffs. The Magic are no pushover, and Howards and Co. are looking to make a statement against the Lakers in this NBA Finals.
It should be a fun series to watch. And while we won’t get the Kobe – Lebron match-up that the NBA wanted, we still get Howard v. Kobe. We’ll keep you posted how it all shakes out.
The NBA Conference Finals are finally set – the Denver Nuggets (Carmelo Anthony and Chauncey Billups) v. the Los Angeles Lakers (Kobe Bryant) and the Orlando Magic (Dwight Howard) v. the Cleveland Cavaliers (Lebron James).
Both Game 7’s on Sunday were disappointing lopsided victories for the Lakers and Magic. The Lakers rushed out to a 51-31 halftime lead and never let off the gas pedal, cruising to a 89-70 win. Pau Gasol had a monster double-double – 21 points and 18 boards, while Kobe Bryant scored 14 points, grabbed 7 rebounds and dished out 5 assists.
The Magic led the Celtics by 7 at halftime and 5 at the end of the 3 quarters, and most felt that the final collapse would occur in the 4th quarter as it had so many times this post-season. The Magic, however, answered the call, crushing the Celtics 35-21 in the 4th quarter to run away with a 101-82 victory in Boston. Hedo Turkoglu knocked in 25 points, while Dwight Howard finished with 12 points and 16 rebounds. Ray Allen led the Celtics with 23 points

An eye toward the future
On Nov. 2, Hanrahan will lead a day-long retreat to inspire discussion about how Ridgefield can enter then next 100 years on an environmentally sound path. The retreat is sponsored by the Ridgefield Clergy Association and the Ridgefield Action Committee for the Environment.
"Based on what people have told me, I believe there is a groundswell at the grassroots level of support for informed environmental decision-making," Hanrahan said. "The aim of the Ridgefield retreat is to invite people to participate in a conversation and come to understand the spirit of place that represents the character of Ridgefield."
Hanrahan is a specialist in community-based environmental management. He helps communities identify key environmental factors and starts a dialogue on how to protect those factors for future generations.
"We know that it is at the local level where environmental issues affect people the most and also where those issues are best dealt with," Hanrahan said.
Holding the retreat was the idea of Fred Turpin, founder of Ridgefield Action Committee for the Environment and a member of the Ridgefield Clergy Association.
"We'll be launching off from the point of climate changes brought on by global warming and how that can be expected to affect communities like Ridgefield," Turpin said.
"As people move from costal communities inland, they will look at towns like Ridgefield as being ideal. We have to prepare for the stresses that will put on the town's infrastructure 100 (and) 300 years from now."
Preservation of that environmental structure needs to begin today, Turpin said. The Saugatuck River Watershed and Norwalk River Watershed are two environmental factors that must be protected and preserved starting now.
Linking environmental education in schools with town planning at the Planning and Zoning Commission level is one link Turpin hopes the retreat brings.
"We will get all of the town's leaders and civic leaders together to talk about what we can do to tackle issues like protecting the watersheds, creating less solid waste, preserving clean air," Jay Whelan, president of the Ridgefield Action Committee for the Environment, said.
"We hope we can come together as one voice to talk about the environmental agenda we want to put forth."

To demonstrate the rotating magnetic field inside a three phase induction motor
- Three phase motor board
- D.C. Power supply
- Electric Drill
3 Phase Motor and Elements
The apparatus consists of a car alternator as the source of three phase electricity which is applied to two stators from identical units. The alternator requires a DC source to power its stator.
The rotating magnetic field is demonstrated directly by placing a small compass needle in one of the stators. The alternator is rotated by hand and the compass needle rotates in sympathy. Rotating in the opposite direction causes the needle to change rotation direction.
An induction motor may be demonstrated by replacing the compass needle with the mounted can (see above photo). The rotating field induces eddy currents in the can. The interaction between the two fields causes rotation.
The final demonstration requires the hand crank to be replaced with a drive shaft connected to a portable electric drill. In this demo the stator has been mounted horizontally and an aluminium ring is supported on a low friction point support.

|Senior Research Scientist
Planetary Science Institute
I currently have three primary research interests: (1) sedimentary deposits on Mars; (2) soils and small rocks observed at the MER Opportunity rover landing site; and (3) pyroclastic deposits on the Moon. I am a member of the science teams on the MER and MRO (HiRISE) missions. I live in Arlington, VA and work from my home office.
Sedimentary Deposits on Mars
Thick, laterally extensive sedimentary sequences deposited on Mars provide insight into the environmental conditions that prevailed when the sediments were emplaced, while hydrated minerals hold numerous clues to understanding the long history of aqueous activity on the planet. Recent and ongoing studies have placed important constraints on aqueous processes responsible for deposition of sediments in lacustrine systems or that have altered rocks by groundwater or surface flow. By identifying distinct mineral phases and determining how these minerals are associated spatially and temporally, it should be possible to decipher the changing nature of aqueous processes through time. In particular, Valles Marineris contains some of the largest exposures of sedimentary deposits and, consequently, may provide a critical piece of the puzzle to understanding the aqueous and sedimentary history of Mars.
My research uses multiple imagery data sets to map out the 3-dimensional distribution of sedimentary units and look at details that could provide information concerning their origin and relative ages. In particular, I utilize CRISM hyperspectral data and HiRISE high-resolution images of deposits on Mars in order to constrain their mineralogy and morphology, which in term provide insight into how these deposits formed. Right now, I have funding to study these deposits in Valles Marineris and Ladon Basin.
Soils and small rocks at the Opportunity landing site
I have analyzed Microscopic Imager (MI) and Panoramic Camera (Pancam) images from the Opportunity rover at Meridiani Planum on Mars in order to make measurements of grain sizes and spectral properties for soil and small rock particles. The grain-size analyses of the soils at Meridiani Planum have been used to identify rock souces for the grains and provide information about depositional processes under past and current conditions. The Pancam spectral analyses have shown that there are several types of cobbles at the site, including meteorites.
Pyroclastic deposits on the Moon
Pyroclastic glasses on the Moon have been identified remotely from telescopic and orbital data sets, as well as in Apollo samples. They provide important clues concerning the lunar volcanic history of the Moon, especially the history of volatiles within the lunar interior. Important questions remain about their timing in relation to effusive mare basalts, their distribution relative to impact basins, and their importance in terms of potential resources for future manned missions to the Moon. Lunar dark mantle deposits (DMDs) were produced in explosive volcanic eruptions and are identified based upon their relatively low albedos, surface smoothness, mantling relationship to underlying terrain, and spectral absorption bands due to the presence of iron-bearing volcanic glasses. DMDs may be composed of glasses and/or crystallized beads, depending upon the optical density (concentration of gas and clasts for a given volume) of the plume and time within the plume.
I am currently analyzing high spatial and spectral resolution images taken at multiple illuminations to better refine the extent of DMDs, assess whether the medium and smaller size deposits are pyroclastic material or mare ponds, identify and characterize plausible source vents, explore the geologic setting of each deposit, and characterize the eruption that emplaced the deposit. A systematic study across all DMDs has the potential to reveal more about the processes that formed them and the implications of those processes for lunar volcanism and lunar volatiles than the study of one or a few DMDs. The attempt to either group or ungroup DMDs based on new data, and the related task of looking for candidate vents in proximity to the DMDs, could refine the number, type and distribution of DMDs. Additionally, these studies will contribute to lunar resource evaluation, a lunar volatile inventory, and potentially an eventual manned lunar base site selection.

The Water Power Technologies Office researches, tests, evaluates, and develops innovative technologies capable of generating renewable, environmentally responsible, and cost-effective electricity from water resources. This includes hydropower as well as marine & hydrokinetic (MHK) energy technologies.The Water Power Porgram identifies and undertakes RD & D to assess the potential extractable energy from water resources and facilitates the development and deployment of renewable, environmentally-sound, and cost-effective energy from domestic rivers, estuaries, and marine waters. MHK technologies capture energy from waves, tides, ocean currents, the natural flow of water in rivers, and marine thermal gradients without building new dams or diversions. Conventional hydropower uses dams, diversionary structures, and impoundments to generate electric power from water resources. The Water Power Program conducts work in four key areas at the forefront of water power research: developing innovative renewable water power technologies, breaking down market barriers to deployment, building the infrastructure to test new technologies, and assessing water power resources for integration into our nation's grid.

No one on the ‘reception’ Desk when we arrived and had to wait for a bit before seated. Staff looked like they weren’t prepared for our booking. Food as expected and service reasonable thereafter. Nice venue.
10 April 2019
Food great. Service is unfortunatly going down hill. We have noticed this the last two times we have visited. Slow service and the staff are not particularily welcoming.
6 April 2019
Definitely the best prezzo I have ever visited staff are extremely friendly and polite! Very accommodating to my 3 year old daughter

7 March 2019
Great (great) welcome. Great service. Great Table. Great food. Great value. It's why we love Prezzo. PS Not keen on the martini glass for the Affogato.
3 March 2019
We had a very pleasant experience and really enjoyed our meal from the set menu. Would recommend the spaghetti carbonara and sticky toffee pudding.
2 March 2019
The food was of good quality and a good amount on plate. The service was very efficient. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming.
1 March 2019
Booking fine,seating unsatisfactory as tables crammed in,restaurant noisy but staff very helpful in arranging an alternative table. I had a voucher for a free starter but this was useless as I also had a voucher for a discount. Both could not be used at the same time so the free starter one was a waste of time as I always have a discount voucher when eating with you. Food was good as usual but noise and congestion means I will probably not visit your premises at Romsey again which is a shame as we have previously enjoyed our visits.
Spring Set Menu - 2 courses & a drink for £16.95, 3 courses & a drink for £19.95

From: Space Telescope Science Institute
Posted: Thursday, July 31, 2003
Steven V. W. Beckwith, Space Telescope Science Institute
The Hubble Space Telescope has profoundly influenced virtually every prominent problem in astronomy, ranging from the nearest solar system body to the most distant observable objects in the Universe. In doing so it has also brought an unprecedented awareness of and enthusiasm for science in general, and astronomy in particular, to tens of millions of people. All of this success has been achieved through capabilities largely unrelated to the collecting area of the primary mirror. Indeed, at the time of launch, Hubble was approximately the tenth largest telescope in the world, and today it has fallen roughly to number 40 in the rankings. Rather, the combination of the vantage point afforded by its location 600 km above the Earth, combined with the ability to replace focal plane instruments periodically during servicing missions, thus taking advantage of the latest technology optimized to the most current problems, have given Hubble its amazing discovery power.
The Scientific Impact of Hubble
Almost any quantitative indicator of Hubble's scientific impact invites superlatives. In Figure 1 we display the number of refereed scientific papers resulting from Hubble observations as a function of year. At the close of 2002, the latest year for which statistics
are available, almost 3,600 refereed papers have appeared. Perhaps equally interesting, the latest year was also the most productive. We are aware of no other NASA mission which is more than a decade old, yet grows more productive every year. As this survey includes no results from the two most recently installed new instruments, the Advanced Camera for Surveys and the revived NICMOS, an infrared camera, we can confidently predict yet another increase in 2003.
An equally interesting metric on the impact of Hubble science is the fraction of refereed papers that depend on HST results in the most prestigious journals. We show in Figure 2 a survey of the fraction of papers in the five journals generally regarded as having the highest impact in astronomy, from each of four major, state-of-the-art, comparably ambitious observatories: the Very Large Array, the two Keck 10-m telescopes, the Chandra X-ray Observatory, and HST. In 2002, Hubble was responsible for almost 8% of all refereed papers in these five journals, regardless of topic or nation of origin, a fraction that exceeds each of the other facilities by a factor of two or more.
Finally, it is instructive to consider the oversubscription rate of proposals for use of HST from the community, and its evolution with time. We show these data in Figure 3. In the most recent time allocation cycle, the oversubscription was greater than 6-to-1, one of the highest factors in the 13 cycle lifetime of the observatory. (The factor for the previous year, cycle 11, was uncharacteristically high as that was the first year that very large "treasury" programs were solicited, and many exciting but unrealistically large proposals were submitted).
The Public Impact of Hubble
Astronomy has always been high on the list of sciences evoking public interest, but since the completion of the Palomar Hale telescope in 1948, no astronomical facility has achieved the international public prominence of Hubble. Part of this success is due to NASA's vision in supporting a vigorous news and educational outreach program associated with the project, to facilitate dissemination of results. However the world's attention cannot be retained for a decade on a physical science project solely by the efforts of a few public affairs and education experts, no matter how diligent.
Rather, it is the string of inspiring scientific discoveries from Hubble that account for the unprecedented success. We quantify this success briefly with two illustrations.
Figure 4 shows a survey of references in the Lexis news data base to astronomy news stories from a dozen major astronomical facilities in the past 12 months. The results show the remarkable interest in Hubble in its 13th year. Indeed, Hubble so dominates media interest that its popular citations constitute a large fraction of all science stories in all disciplines.
Figure 5 shows the latest results from the annual survey of science stories in the general interest weekly Science News, compiled by G. Davidson, originally at NASA HQ and now at Northrup-Grumman. The survey, conducted regularly for ten years, encompasses all science and technology coverage regardless of discipline or nation of origin. Hubble coverage in 2002 was 44% of all stories emerging from programs of the NASA Office of Space Science (more than double any other OSS project), and indeed 33% of all stories related to NASA in total (and thus even including all aspects of human space flight). The current annual operations budget of Hubble (dominated by the servicing mission staff at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, but including also the development of new instruments, the Space Telescope Science Institute, and funds to the community for data analysis, archival research, education and public outreach grants, and Hubble Fellowships) is approximately 7% of the Office of Space Science, and 2% of

Cooke Aquaculture Scotland is a leading Scottish salmon farming company with a world-class salmon hatchery located in Furnace, Argyll. The farm uses a water recirculation unit supplied with freshwater to feed its tanks where the fish are grown.
The temperature of this water is critical to the salmon farming process. A few degrees too warm and the fish grow too quickly, too cold and they don't grow fast enough. Finding the exact equilibrium can be challenging during seasonal temperature changes.
When the ambient temperature rose during the summer months, this consequently increased the temperature of the water within the large tanks. Cooke Aquaculture Scotland contacted Aggreko to provide an immediate temperature control solution that could quickly cool the water back to the exact temperature for the specific phase of the fish growth cycle.
Within four days of the enquiry, the Aggreko team surveyed the site and installed a bespoke temperature control solution.
The solution was to cool the water from a slipstream of the recirculation water system.
The water in the slipstream was pumped through heat exchangers where coolant, cooled by chillers, absorbed the excess heat and cooled down the water.
The solution reduced the temperature of the slipstream water a number of degrees lower than required. When this was fed back into the tanks it mixed with the warmer tank water to produce the target temperature.
By simply cooling only the slipstream water and not the full tank capacity this meant the target temperature could be reached more effectively. It also meant that less cooling kW and power kVA was needed overall, ensuring a cost-effective solution.
This bespoke solution included 600 KW of cooling, three heat exchangers, pumps, hoses, buffer tanks and ancillaries, all powered by 520 kVA of power generation. This was adequate to cool over 100,000 litres of water in four tanks.
As Cooke Aquaculture farms are in remote locations to ensure exceptional water quality, Aggreko faced a number of logistical challenges. Site access was limited for the delivery vehicles and the unloading area and installation site were restricted in size.
The Aggreko team worked around this to set up the package quickly and effectively.
Why was Aggreko chosen?
Cooke Aquaculture Scotland chose Aggreko to undertake this project for the second year running.
Using experience gained from the previous year the Aggreko team found ways to improve the solution and make it more efficient for the customer. This included providing advice on installing permanent overhead pipework to improve the tidiness and safety of the installation.
Aggreko has over 30 years experience providing turn-key solutions to fish farms and hatcheries across the UK and Scandinavia.
Their expert team assists fish farmers overcome a number of challenges - from providing supplementary or emergency power to remote locations, to ensuring stable critical water temperatures during seasonal changes.
Ensuring a stable and accurate water temperature is a critical factor to our productivity and consequently our bottom line. When temperatures began to fluctuate, we approached Aggreko as we knew they were temperature control experts that we could rely on. We were pleased that Aggreko responded so efficiently to our needs to return the water to the correct temperature as quickly as possible.Any Young, Furnace Manager, Cooke Aquaculture Scotland

Adding fertilizers to soils requires initial soil testing to determine which nutrients need replenishing. All plants, trees, shrubs and vegetation require different soil pH levels to thrive. Fertilization is the easiest method to adjust soils to the proper pH level requirements. Over-fertilization causes damage to plants. Learning the different names of fertilizers increases the gardener’s success rate of making the proper soil changes.
Use limestone to reduce the acid levels in soils. Vegetables, fruits and flowers with too much soil acidity do well with ground or pellet limestone applications. Be certain the ground is not frozen during application. Work the limestone fertilizer into the top layer--6 to 8 inches of soil area.
Sulfur or Aluminum Sulfate
Sulfur or aluminum sulfate lowers acid levels in soil area. Application of this fertilizer is similar to limestone application. According to Soil Nutrients Analysis Library, changes in soil pH levels occur in 6- to 9-month time spans after application. Soil pH does not change until the soil’s bacteria breaks it down. For this reason, sulfur mixed with clay or polysulfide mixed with water produce the quickest soil pH changes.
Decaying organic material is a common source of nitrogen fertilizer. Ornamental grasses, trees and lawns often require nitrogen fertilizer for optimum growth. However, all plants need nitrogen. Nitrogen is part of the photosynthesis process for plants to retain their green coloring and use nutrients.
Typically nitrogen fertilizers contain phosphorus and potassium. Three numbers appear on the fertilizer labels with the ratio of each ingredient. Different types of plants need different concentrations. For example, lawns need higher levels of all three due to leached soil nutrients and rapid growth. Non-flowering evergreens or small vegetable plants require lower levels of each component.

Moreton Bay community groups urge vigilance on marine debris
Thu 14 March 2013
A coalition of community groups is urging Brisbane residents to be more vigilant about protecting the popular marine playground of Moreton Bay from rubbish and debris.
The coalition - called the Lifeline for Moreton Bay Project - today released the results of its recent land-to-sea clean up of the beaches, coastal areas and underwater environments of Moreton Bay, conducted as part of this year's Clean Up Australia Day event.
Lydia Gibson, from the environmental education charity Wild Mob, said the results highlighted the impacts that Brisbane lifestyles were having on habitats for turtles, dugongs and other marine life.
"In just a few hours work, we collected more than 124 kilograms of rubbish from beaches, bays and underwater environments around Moreton Bay, including plastic bottles, packaging, cigarette butts, fishing line, old toys and other common household items," Ms Gibson said.
Jennifer Loder, General Manager of ReefCheck Australia said,"The results provide a clear snapshot of how Brisbane lifestyles are impacting on the popular marine playground of Moreton Bay and what the dangers are for the turtles, dugongs and other creatures that call Moreton Bay home."
Jacki Boyce, Marine Debris Campaigner from the Australian Marine Conservation Society (AMCS) said close to 40 per cent of all marine turtle deaths in Moreton Bay each year were caused by marine debris.
"Turtles often starve to death after ingesting household rubbish or drown after becoming entangled in discarded fishing line and other debris," she said.
"Marine debris is an overwhelming issue for our oceans, with a very simple solution. We can each choose to take a more caring approach to protecting our marine wildlife by making positive choices in our daily lives," said Reef Check Australia General Manager Jennifer Loder.
The Lifeline for Moreton Bay Project was formed by the Australian Marine Conservation Society (AMCS) and includes the groups Wild Mob, Reef Check Australia, the University of Queensland's 'Turtles in Trouble' project, and Healthy Waterways.
The coalition is urging ocean lovers across South East Queensland to take five simple steps to protect Moreton Bay and other local waterways.
1. Drink from your sink. In 3 years, the number of plastic bottles that littered South East Queensland waterways increased by 50%, and a total of 165,000 bottles were removed.
2. Just 'bag it'. Carry your own reusable bags instead of packing your purchases in single-use plastic bags that last forever.
3. Bin your butts. Take a moment to dispose of your cigarette butt responsibly. This is the number one item in coastal clean ups.
4. Recover your line. It's not always possible, but take an extra moment to unhook that snagged line. Fishing line takes an average 600 years to decompose in the environment.
5. Pick it up. Even if it's not yours, think about where that pesky piece of rubbish might end up. Then pop it in the bin.
