Webinar: Mia Deijfen (SU) October 12
3 juli, 2022
The first webinar of the Fall term is given by Mia Deijfen (SU):
When: October 12, 2022, 11.00 – 12.00
Where: Zoom ID: 638 9309 4112
Titel: Competing growth on random graphs
Abstract: Competing first passage percolation describes the growth of two competing infections on an underlying graph structure. The main question is if the infection types can grow to occupy large parts of the graph simultaneously. Empirical networks typically exhibit a large degree of heterogeneity in the vertex degree, and it is therefore interesting to study the model on graphs that capture this. One such graph model is the configuration model, where the degrees can have an arbitrary distribution. In this case, it turns out that both the intensities of the infections and the degree distribution plays a role in determining the outcome of the competition. I will give a survey of existing results and describe open problems.

The SEQUENZ SonicBar is a stereo monitor speaker, designed to be used for mounted on a keyboard stand for feedback during performance.
The SonicBar is voiced for close proximity monitoring. It is equipped with two stereo inputs, allowing two synths to be connected for monitoring. It is also equipped with one thru out jack, so you can monitor your own performance while also outputting it to an external PA.
In addition to a volume knob, two front panel knobs allow tone adjustment. An external input jack and a headphone jack are also provided.
When attaching the unit to SEQUENZ Standard series of keyboard stands, users can adjust the height, position, and angle to fit any playing position without having to use a screwdriver or any other tool. The SonicBar can also be installed reversed front-to-back, so in a café or a small live performance venue, the speakers can be pointed toward the audience for a compact performance setup.
The SonicBar can also be placed on a floor or on a table, allowing a broad range of uses that go beyond musical instrument monitoring.
Pricing and Availability
The SonicBar will be available in December 2018 for $399.

Plans for Pyalong park take shape
Plans for a new playground and upgrade of Pyalong’s Town Centre Park have been released for input.
Mitchell Shire Council developed the draft plans following community input last year.
The plans feature:
- new playground equipment
- a half-court basketball area
- nature play
- tree plantings.
Survey closes 9am, Monday 17 February.
“Pyalong has a very active community with a strong vision for the town," Cr Lowe said.
"The new space will provide extra facilities for locals in the town centre and encourage visitors to spend more time in the town and explore the area rather than just passing through."
“The draft plans have been developed with input from various community groups and members. We now want to know what the wider community thinks before we finalise plans and start to seek funding to assist with construction costs in the future.”
Drop in session
There are no events planned for now

Once we went shopping, I chose a ring and asked him if it is beautiful. He said it is nice, unfortunately he didn’t show any interest to buy me a ring. Maybe… I am not worthy of a ring in his...
per man's instinct, i really don't want to say your husband don't love u a little...but actually i have to say that, don't u think so?
u said u were prenant unexpectedly then he married u also the wedding ring didn't come out...
also u siad u don't feel happy after marriage, right?
that shows u don't satisfied with your marriage, never only consider that your hunband didn't buy u wedding ring,
without wedding ring is just an excuse or signal, i think.
also i think u must never communicate with your hunband freely, do you both often talk about your life, feeling, your marriage, your future? i bet the answer should be NO, right?
my viewpoint is your problem is not without wedding ring, that's the unsatisfied marriage u have with your hunband, right?
so the reasonable action for u is you should talk with husband about your feeling, marriage.
it's unnecessary to say out u wanna get the wedding ring,
because even your hunband would buy u that, are u sure u would be happy? would satisfied with your marrage?
frankly speaking, i am very sorry to hear your this story and feel sympathism on u.
my suggestion is u really should think over your hunband, marriage, feeling, kids, future before u decide to talk with your hunband.
hope u can get your satisfied direction soon.

Subj.: Cruise No. 98-015
|SHIP NAME: R/V Oceanus||OPERATING INSTITUTION: Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute|
|DATES: March 30, 1998-April 3, 1998||PROJECT TITLE: ECOHAB, GOM|
|CHIEF SCIENTIST: Dr. Neal Pettigrew||CLEARANCE COUNTRIES: Canada|
|FOREIGN PARTICIPANTS: none||PORT OF CALLS: none|
DESCRIPTION OF SCIENTIFIC PROGRAM: Current-meter moorings were deployed by the University of Maine and U.S. Geological Survey at six sites in the Gulf of Maine as part of the Ecology of Harmful Algal Blooms (ECOHAB) project in the Gulf of Maine. CTD data and water samples were collected at the mooring sites and at several other location along the cruise track. A small hydrographic (CTD) survey of the Kennebec-Androscoggin River plume was also performed in eastern Casco Bay.
A single mooring, "G" was deployed in Canadian waters. Due to a Canadian State Department error, this mooring was removed by the Canadian Coast Guard approximatly 22 hours after it was deployed. The current-meter data collocted at this site is shown in the two figures. The upper water column velocity and lower water column velocity are presented.

By Jim Taylor, Editor MACS ACtion Magazine
Since the new gas is fairly benign in the atmosphere, it does not contribute to smog and ground-level pollution. For this reason, EPA is proposing to exempt the refrigerant (and its sister HFO-1234ze, used for foam blowing and insulation) from the federal VOC rules. The following text is excerpted (and trimmed) from the Proposed Rule in the Federal Register, posted October 17th of this year. It’s interesting reading, particularly in the last paragraphs.
“The EPA is proposing to revise the agency’s definition of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) for purposes of preparing state implementation plans (SIPs) to attain the national ambient air quality standards for ozone. This proposed revision would add 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene (also known as HFO–1234yf) and trans-1,3,3,3- tetrafluoropropene (also known as HFO–1234ze) to the list of compounds excluded from the definition of VOC on the basis that these compounds make a negligible contribution to tropospheric ozone formation.
This proposed rule is applicable to all manufacturers, distributors, and users of these chemical compounds. Specifically, the use of these compounds as aerosol propellants, blowing agents, or refrigerants, or any other use in which they would substitute for chlorofluorocarbons, hydrochloro-fluorocarbons, or their substitutes, is subject to restrictions under the Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) program.
The SNAP program has issued a final approval for HFO-1234yf as a substitute for use in the motor vehicle air conditioning end-use as a replacement for ozone depleting substances and final approvals for HFO-1234ze as a suitable foam and refrigerant substitute and as a propellant. Furthermore, HFO–1234yf is subject to a Significant New Use Rule (SNUR).
Some background: Tropospheric ozone, commonly known as smog, is formed when VOCs and nitrogen oxides (NOX) react in the atmosphere in the presence of sunlight. Because of the harmful health effects of ozone, the EPA and state governments limit the amount of VOCs that can be released into the atmosphere. The VOCs are those organic compounds of carbon which form ozone through atmospheric photochemical reactions.
Different VOCs have different levels of reactivity—that is, they do not react to form ozone at the same speed or do not form ozone to the same extent. Some VOCs react slowly, or form less ozone; therefore, changes in their emissions have limited effects on local or regional ozone pollution episodes. It has been the EPA’s policy that organic compounds with a negligible level of reactivity should be excluded from the regulatory definition of VOC so as to focus control efforts on compounds that do significantly increase ozone concentrations. The EPA also believes that exempting such compounds creates an incentive for industry to use negligibly reactive compounds in place of more highly reactive compounds that are regulated as VOCs. The EPA lists these negligibly reactive compounds in its regulations and excludes them from the definition of VOC.
Compounds that are less reactive than, or equally reactive to, ethane under certain assumed conditions may be deemed negligibly reactive and therefore suitable for exemption from the regulatory definition of VOC. Compounds that are more reactive than ethane continue to be considered VOCs for regulatory purposes and therefore subject to control requirements. The selection of ethane as the threshold compound was based on a series of smog chamber experiments that underlay the 1977 policy.
In this case, the agency has examined available information on the risks to human health and the environment and applicability of other regulatory programs. Honeywell, Inc. submitted a petition to the EPA on June 29, 2009, requesting that HFO–1234yf be exempted from VOC control based on its low reactivity relative to ethane. The petitioner indicated that HFO–1234yf may be used as a refrigerant for refrigeration and air-conditioning. [The company submitted a similar petition to exempt HFO–1234ze.]
Honeywell also indicated that it expects HFO–1234yf to be widely used as a replacement for HFC–134a in motor vehicle air-conditioners, and that HFO–1234yf has been specifically developed for this purpose. Honeywell argues that as a replacement for use in motor vehicle air conditioners there will be an environmental advantage in that the global warming potential of HFO–1234yf is 4, substantially lower than the GWP for HFC–134a (100- year GWP = 1430) which HFO–1234yf is designed to replace.
Honeywell submitted several documents, including several peer-reviewed journal articles, to support this petition. The EPA requested additional toxicity testing and issued the SNUR for HFO–1234yf. The EPA has received and is presently

Pakistan has become the canary in the mine of climate change in 2022. The flood that destroyed a third of the country this year came from the sky, not overflowing rivers. An area larger than many European countries has been turned into a flooded lake, many meters deep. The disaster was an undeniable consequence of global warming. “Pakistan has flooded before, but never on this scale,” one observer wrote, “and never in so many ways at once: cloud bursts and glacial outbursts in the north, long spells of rain in Sindh and Baluchistan. Flooding in the western lowlands of the Indus and urban flooding in cities like Karachi – a mix of weather disasters.” It was not spring this year in Pakistan.
The weather went from cold to seemingly warm overnight in April, and then warmer still. Electricity demand rose first to an unprecedented seasonal high and then to an all-time high of more than 30,000 MW. The monsoon rains came in mid-July, and the clouds burst in late August, like on steroids. Sindh and Baluchistan received above average heavy rains. The rain was the flood. It caused $30 billion in loss and damage, destroyed nearly two million homes, displaced 8 million people, and affected 33 million citizens. The irony is grim. Pakistan contributes 0.8% of the global carbon footprint, yet we are among the 10 most stressed countries on the planet – a great tragedy. Pakistan is a victim
of pollution emitted by others. Even if we reduced our climate impact to zero, we would still be vulnerable to melting glaciers, erratic and heavy rains, agricultural failures and prolonged extreme heat. The government has expressed resilience by addressing climate change mitigation and adaptation. The transition to renewable, clean and household energy is the highest priority, as it combines equally urgent imperatives: energy cost reduction, energy sovereignty and environmental protection.
The new energy landscape after the war in Ukraine has required that all new energy production in Pakistan henceforth be based on indigenous sources, the most important of which are: solar, Thar coal, hydel, nuclear and wind. These can be supplemented with other domestic sources such as wave, geothermal and waste as they become economically feasible.
Renewable energy projects will perform essential pro-poor and pro-growth functions: reducing the price of electricity; reducing pressure on our balance of payments by reducing imports of expensive fossil fuels; and reducing carbon emissions – the three pillars of sustainable development.We need to start a serious push towards conservation. Changing public behavior towards conservation is slow, but we will push it through technological innovations such as advanced metering infrastructure and, in particular, the conversion of all motorcycles and three-wheelers to electric vehicles (EVs). Our electric vehicle initiative will halve emissions and fuel consumption in Pakistan – a boon not only for the environment but also for the public exchequer.
Essentially adopting quick changes to the specifications of electrical appliances and accessories towards energy conservation, encouraging carpooling, installing conical rakes at gas geysers to save gas and persuading shopkeepers to change their working hours in accordance with international standards. Pakistan’s geography makes it extremely vulnerable to climate change. We cannot change our geography. We simply can change ourselves

A career working in construction carries many benefits, particularly in Upstate New York. Why work in construction in Upstate New York? For starters, there is growth and a promising future for the industry as a whole. A recent study found that in 2016 the construction industry saw a 2.4% growth from the previous year. Even more promising, from 2017 to 2021 the construction industry is expected to see an average growth rate of 2.8% each year.
What about in terms of monetary value for the construction industry? In U.S. dollars, the global construction output is valued at $8.8 trillion, which is higher than its value in 2012 at $7.9 trillion. In 2021, the global construction industry is expected to grow to a value of $10.1 trillion.
Beyond the growth and bright future for construction, there are a number of compelling reasons to work in the construction industry. This is true for both young employees and seasoned career professionals. Learn more about 6 factors that are driving employment in the construction industry in Upstate New York below.
Benefit 1: Skills Learned on the Job
Construction skills are highly valued by employers, and those in the industry understand the value of having specific skillsets and abilities that can be used on the job site. The construction industry develops workers’ skillsets in framing, drywall, and many other types of technical work. For example, these skills include tasks like placing concrete, which is learned directly on the job for those who prefer this type of learning style. For those workers who learn best by “doing,” working in construction might be a perfect fit.
Benefit 2: Knowledge of Local Development
Another great aspect of having a job in construction is the ability to keep an eye on what is happening in your local community and region. Development is a hot topic in many American cities and towns, as cities like Buffalo, Rochester, and Syracuse have all had recent urban revitalizations. Having a direct hand in this regrowth can create an immense amount of pride in one’s work in construction. One can leave a mark in the community in which they live, work, and play.
Benefit 3: Chances for Advancement
Many of those who get involved in the construction industry can climb the promotion ladder quickly over time. Job titles can range from “Construction Coordinator” to “Construction Foreman” to “Construction Supervisor,” each with varying degrees of management duties. Advancement and opportunities can continue from there into construction management roles such as estimating, project management, operations, and company leadership jobs. Unlike in other industries, the chances of advancement in construction are linked directly to the skills, performance, and ability to work with others on the job site. Nearly all construction managers start with lower level work on the job site and work their way up. Having hands-on experience helps you become a better manager down the road.
Benefit 4: Seeing Immediate Results from Work
One of the big reasons employees work in construction is the ability to see a commercial project grow each day over time. Progress is clearly visible. In service industries, there is a large disconnect between the work people put in and the results that they see. Looking at sales numbers or quotas is not as tangible as witnessing a construction project grow from start to finish. Take historic redevelopments for example, where abandoned buildings are revitalized into usable space. Working in construction becomes more than just creating something when you are rehabilitating important historic structures and are directly part of a community’s development. A great sense of accomplishment can be gained by constructing something that will last beyond a lifetime.
Benefit 5: Team Collaboration
In many corporate offices, bosses and managers try desperately to instill a sense of team building and teamwork in a department. In construction, team building is evident naturally. Teams have shared goals and responsibilities. Sequencing of work is critical and essential to constructing a project, so everyone relies on one another to finish their task on time so the next team can begin their work.
Benefit 6: Lots of Jobs and Opportunities
As previously stated, the construction industry is growing. In fact, Glassdoor estimates that there are currently over 13,000 jobs currently available in construction in New York State. Many construction companies across NYS are looking for construction workers, which means there is a high demand.
A career in construction challenges workers physically and mentally, building the strength and skills that can be applied on the job. At VIP Structures, our team has more than 40 years of experience and successes in the construction industry.

An Overseas Filipino Worker in Hong Kong was accused of stealing $14.6 million worth of gold bars, jewelry, and other expensive items from her employer.
In a matter of 14 months, Carmelita G. Nones stole $14.6 million of expensive items from her super-wealthy employers. The incident took place from June 2018 until August 2019. The Filipina who worked as a domestic helper admitted to six charges of theft which were filed against her.
The cousin of Nones identified as Cristina N. Alagna and her niece Maricris G. Nones was also accused of acting as accomplices as Carmelita handed the valuables to them after stealing them from her employer.
Meanwhile, the fourth accessory to the crime, the sister of Carmelita identified as Marina G. Biala, pleaded not guilty of the theft charge and her case will be rendered to the District Court for trial.
According to the police, they have found some of Carmela’s stolen items inside the bedroom of Biala which includes necklaces, earrings, bracelets, and rings amounting to $120,000.
There was also evidence of pawnshop receipts presented at the court amounting to $688,850. Mrs. Liang, the employer of Carmelita even had to spend $891,160 to get back the pawned jewelry but not all of it was recovered.
The pieces of jewelry of Mrs. Liang were allegedly kept inside her home, in a safe that was placed inside her bedroom. The safe had a combination and the employer do not know how the Filipina managed to open and steal her valuables.
In the Philippines, Carmelita had a lavish lifestyle. She owned two houses and a number of vehicles. According to the HK law, the punishment for theft can go up to ten years in jail.

21868Prime Mine Update
- Oct 6, 2010The program to find large numbers of primes
appearing on A = 5x^2 + 5xy + y^2 seems to work
pretty well. It is based, as you may recall from
some of my earlier postings on the topic, upon the
observation that primes and squares of primes ending
in one or nine seem to appear only once as values of
A, whereas composites will appear more than once.
A simple stepwise iteration and storage system finds
and records eligible integers, and the composites among
them are eliminated when they appear a second time.
For a sample of small 13 digit numbers, the program
found 18086 primes in 5.5 seconds. As the sample
numbers grew the rate slowed for 18 digit numbers
to 4,037,5243 primes located in 2500 seconds. The
results for 13 and 14 digit numbers were all verified
by trial division. Only a few of the the larger
numbers were verified this way.
It has occurred to me that some of you out there
might be able to use similar methods to find 100 times
as many primes per second as I have on my old Pentium3
running Pascal software. I have heard that some low-end
encryption systems may be vulnerable to this blizzard of
primes even at these low levels (just above 10^18). Of
course, encryption need not depend on large primes to
be effective. If you're so inclined, check out my
programming toy at the US copyright office (enxxxxx4a.rtf)
for a really different concept.Still, medium term, I don't
think our friends at BlowCash or SloShark systems have
anything to worry about.

Local police in central Minnesota are supervising students from Eden Valley-Watkins Schools Wednesday afternoon as they board buses for the ride home.
Superintendent Larry Peterson said the district went into lockdown Wednesday morning after someone created a fraudulent Facebook page for Eden Valley-Watkins schools and then wrote 'I see dead people' as a status update.
"Immediately then as the kids came to school we decided to go into lockdown mode and we called our county — Meeker County investigative unit — to investigate what occurred here," Peterson said.
Peterson said no one was allowed in or out of the district's three schools all day. He said students were supervised as they moved between classes in halls.
Peterson said Eden Valley-Watkins has never had its own Facebook page. The Meeker County Sheriff Office is searching for the creator of the fraudulent page and author of the post.

An Interview with Stephen Wolfram
David I. Lewin, Computers in Physics 8 (1994) 238-239. Mathematica's Developer Asks, "Can Algorithms Replace Equations?"
Stephen Wolfram, who has helped revolutionize computational physics by creating the software package Mathematica, is working on his next revolution.
Wolfram, a recipient of the MacArthur award who received his Ph.D. in physics from Caltech when barely 20 years old, runs his multimillion dollar software company, Wolfram Research, Inc., while continuing an active program of theoretical scientific research. He spoke to Computers in Physics from his home in Illinois, where he is working on a book that he hopes will change the way scientists model phenomena.
Wolfram, who has many multidisciplinary interests, no longer considers his occupation to be that of a physicist, but he retains a fondness for physics because, as he puts it, physicists tend to be entrepreneurial, in contrast to researchers in many other fields. "Physicists like to jump into thinking about neural networks or issues in financial analysis and things like that," he said.
No longer an academic, either, he remains a scientific researcher. "I enjoy basic science very much. If you want to do basic science and you don't have a choice, do it at a university; if you have a choice, then you can do without the university," Wolfram said.
Born and raised in England, the son of a mother who taught philosophy at Oxford and a father who divided his time between careers as a businessman and as a novelist, Wolfram developed an early interest in science. By age 15, he had published his first physics paper, and he entered graduate school at Caltech at 18, after attending (but not graduating from) Eton and Oxford.
In this early part of his career, Wolfram focused on theoretical particle physics, the field in which he received his Ph.D. in 1979. "I did not quite get my Ph.D. while I was still a teenager; I missed by about three weeks," he noted.
He stayed on at Caltech and became the youngest person to receive a "genius" grant from the John T. and Catherine D. MacArthur Foundation. During this time he also developed his first software product, SMP (Symbolic Manipulation Program). Following a dispute with Caltech administrators over the intellectual property rights to SMP, Wolfram left for the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, NJ. There, he focused on the theory of cellular automata, later moving his research group to the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
In 1987 he established Wolfram Research to develop and market Mathematica, a software environment for handling a wide variety of technical computations. Mathematica, he acknowledges, was built in part on the lessons he learned while developing SMP.
First released in June 1988, Mathematica was, according to Wolfram, a grander, bolder vision—a "single, coherent system" that dealt with a broad range of technical computations. "The idea with SMP was to build something that concentrated on symbolic and algebraic manipulation," Wolfram said. "My goal [with Mathematica] was to build a very general tool that would be useful in any kind of technical computation."
Even during the development of SMP, Wolfram had tried out a number of fairly radical ideas about computer language design, some of which worked better than others. "I was able to basically take the ideas that had worked out well and build them into Mathematica in a slightly better way," he said.
He is very proud of what has been achieved in Mathematica. "What's great is to be able to take those high-end, creative new [designs] and package them in such a way as to make them useful to a wide range of people—people... [who] don't want to know about computer science, [who] don't want to know about numerical analysis, [who] just want to solve some problem in biotechnology or financial analysis," he said. "To me, that's one of the most satisfying ways one can use one's ideas and intellectual achievements in science."
For many physicists, a computer used to be a tool for large calculations only, Wolfram says. "Nobody would think of using a computer to do the little calculations that would otherwise take you 10 minutes, but would take you 15 seconds on a computer. They would only use a computer to do a calculation that would take you two months to do by hand and a week on a computer," he said.
Wolfram believes his software is helping to modernize computational physics. "I heard in the computer industry many times, people saying, 'My god, why are these computational physicists still using Fortran? Why do we have to cater to these people who want

I once heard someone describe this book as ‘hipster’ poetry, and I can see why. It discusses a lot of mainstream issues: love, relationships, sex and feminism, but from the author’s personal, sometimes dark experiences. Milk and Honey was written by young Canadian author Rupi Kaur and has been incredibly popular in the book world lately. Kaur, you might recall, is the young woman responsible for the photo essay that explored menstruation taboos. When she shared one of the photos on Instagram, it was deleted, proving the exact point that Kaur was trying to make: “A majority of people, societies, and communities shun this natural process. Some are more comfortable with the pornification of women, the sexualization of women, the violence and degradation of women than this. They cannot be bothered to express their disgust about all that, but will be angered and bothered by this” (Kaur, Instagram post, March 24, 2015).
I fully support what Rupi Kaur stands for and what she’s trying to do with her work, and I think Milk and Honey is very relevant to today’s society for the exact reasons Kaur mentioned above. But is it good poetry?
Since I’m not very familiar with how to analyze or review poetry, I sought out the help of my best friend, Tess Lund, who has a double major in English and Writing. She gave me a little lesson in poetry and after a quick flip through and analysis of the first few poems, she informed me that no, Milk and Honey in her educated opinion, is not the amazing piece of poetic literature everyone seems to think it is. After hearing her reasoning, I have to say I agree.

If you hear a pack of wolves howling at a Florida Orchestra performance, don't be alarmed.
It's just members of the orchestra's new networking group for young professionals called the Wolf Gang.
The orchestra formed the group a few months ago to expose a younger audience to their concerts and, hopefully, expand their aging supporter base. Members receive discounted tickets ($15 for regular $30 seats) and invitations to pre-show evens.
"We were trying to make the orchestra more accessible,'' said William Abbey, the orchestra's group services manager who coordinates the Wolf Gang. "The idea was to offer a good price on tickets but to also create social opportunities.''
While new for the orchestra, the concept isn't unique. Ruth Eckerd Hall, the Tampa Theatre and Opera Tampa, for example, each have clubs and programs to spark the interest of the next generation of fans and donors. On average, orchestra patrons are in their 60s.
The Wolf Gang met for the first time last month for Cornelia Herrmann's performance of Mozart's Piano Concerto 21. Philanthropic Young Tampa Bay hosted the party at the Tampa Museum of Art's Sono Cafe and gave away about 200 tickets to the show as part of its fall fundraiser.
The next event is Saturday for Pictures at an Exhibition, a concert of musical impressions inspired by great art. The Wolf Gang will gather at the Hangar in St. Petersburg at 6 p.m., then head to the show at the Mahaffey Theater at 8.
Ann-Eliza Musoke Taylor, co-founder of Philanthropic Young Tampa Bay, said the Wolf Gang helps demystify the orchestra as a special occasion-only outing for well-heeled, older people. Live symphonic music for $15 is a bargain.
"People are looking for something new and when you can make it more accessible and affordable, there's no reason not to go,'' she said.
She was surprised so many people at the Mozart event had never seen the orchestra before. Most liked what they heard and appreciated seeing some young faces among the musicians. A few even howled when the Wolf Gang was acknowledged at the start of the performance.
The orchestra chose the name Wolf Gang as a play off Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, the famous 18th century composer. Vicky Newcomb, a bass clarinetist for the orchestra, designed the logo. It shows a big-nosed Mozart wearing sunglasses and listening to an iPod.
The group targets business professionals under 40 but is open to anyone interested in the arts and networking. A lot of support for the Wolf Gang has grown organically through word of mouth, Facebook and other social media.
Marketing director Sherry Powell said live orchestra music gives people something different to think about and talk about, outside the usual bar chatter. If it makes people howl, even better.

Childhood Cancer Community Awareness
Educating our community on facts, statistics and the signs and symptoms to look out for is our program goal. By reaching others through school seminars, encouraging kids of all ages to advocate for kids or community events, we can raise awareness on childhood cancer and make a difference.
Courageous Care Packs
Our care pack program is open to all children affected by childhood cancer and is created to have essentials that children may need as they embark on their journey to conquer cancer during their treatment and life in remission. Our program is offered to any child with cancer in South Texas and is filled with not only educational books on their diagnosis, but with toys and games that are entertaining during their hospital stays along with a cozy blanket and other take along essentials.
Our program goal is to provide low income families and those without insurance access to a spiritual counselor to support children diagnosed with cancer and their immediate family members which will encourage them to have better relationships with themselves, others, and the unknown during their cancer treatment. This program is to improve the quality of mental health. It can spiritually and mentally help our patients and their families deal with stress by giving them a sense of peace, purpose, and forgiveness which often becomes more important in times of emotional stress or illness.
Nevaeh's Nutrition Cart
Nutrition is an important part of development in all children, but it is especially important for children undergoing cancer treatment. Nevaeh's Cart is housed at the local hospital pediatric oncology floor and designed to educate and encourage ways to include more healthy foods. Although Each child with cancer has their own nutritional needs which can be affected by their diagnosis, treatment plan, age, and current medicines, our goal is to incorporate a registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN) or registered dietitian (RD) within our program to make available on site and create specific plans for patients and survivors.

Hypoxia secondary to the hypobaric environment at high altitude has an effect on blood gases. Methods: packed red cell volume (PRC) and blood gases were measured on arterial blood obtained from the right radial artery from healthy children 7 to 14 days old, born of mothers who underwent pregnancy and delivery at high altitude (3,600 meters above sea level). Objective: to determine arterial oxygen saturation in healthy children 7 to 14 days of age, born at 3600 meters above sea level. Results: in a sample of 60 infants, PRC was 50 ± 7,64, similar to the values described at sea level. Oxygen saturation was 85,34 ± 10,45; compared to 95 ± 5 at sea level. The difference was statistically significant (p< 0,001) Discussion: these reference values have to be taken into account when treating young infants at high altitude, particularly those that have an illness that can modify oxygen saturation.

A video showing a young African-American University of Cincinnati student being shoved into the ground and arrested by three white Athens Police officers on North Court Street in Athens Saturday got shared thousands of times on Twitter over the weekend, sparking outrage over the officers’ actions.
The young man – Ty Bealer, 21 – pleaded not guilty Monday to second-degree misdemeanor charges of resisting arrest and obstructing official business.
Police Chief Tom Pyle defended the officers’ actions in a press conference Monday, and Athens Mayor Steve Patterson said that he believes the video in question was reinforcing "misinformation" about the incident.
OU student Ajiyah Brooks shared the roughly 30-second video on Twitter Sunday morning, saying that “three police officers ran up on a group of boys beside a car on Court Street, and took down an African American boy. Slammed him, punched him, and holding all parts of his body down when he wasn’t fighting back and was unarmed!”
The video got shared more than 6,500 times on Twitter, with some of the responses alleging that the officers' use of force was racially motivated, though others argued that the video didn't show the whole context of the incident.
The video shared by Brooks doesn’t show the lead-up to the arrest as described by Brooks, but does show three white APD officers on top of Bealer, one with his knee in his back, forcing him into the ground and handcuffing him.
Chief Pyle said during the press conference Monday that his office is conducting an internal investigation into the use of force, as it does whenever officers use force beyond handcuffing somebody. Still, he said, from what he’s seen so far, he believes the officers’ use of force was “justified” and “restrained.”
Pyle said that two officers arrived outside the J-Bar on North Court Street around midnight Saturday in response to a person – identified as Bealer – being “ejected” from the bar, who returned and was causing “staff issues” outside.
"Officers were advised this person may have assaulted other patrons in the bar," Pyle added in a follow-up press release issued Monday after the press conference.
The officers approached Bealer, Pyle recounted of the officers’ story, who tried to “resist officers” and “run away.”
Pyle said that alleged resistance resulted in an “altercation” that went to the ground.
“The person was arrested and… taken into custody and was offered EMS treatment for a small abrasion to the right hand and a Taser barb wound, which is standard operating procedure when a Taser is deployed,” Pyle said.
Several Ohio University student organizations spoke out about the incident Sunday and Monday.
OU’s student NAACP chapter called the use of force displayed in the video “extremely unnecessary.”
“Not only is this the WRONG PERSON, if it were a white student this would be a completely different situation,” the NAACP group tweeted. “We need to hold the police officers accountable for what they did to Ty Bealer.”
Pyle said during the press conference Monday that his officers were “confident” they arrested the right person, arguing that they matched Bealer with the description of the person causing a disturbance inside the J-Bar. Pyle said Bealer’s race had nothing to do with it.
“I don’t see racism in this incident,” Pyle said. “I just don’t.
Brooks – who was present at the scene – painted a different picture of the police’s approach to Bealer. She said she saw the police officers running down the street toward Bealer. Bealer reportedly asked, “what did I do?” Brooks recounted, then one of the officers allegedly “pulled him and slammed him on (a nearby) car.”
“The male was punched and as well his face (was) slammed into the ground,” Brooks said.
A video posted by another twitter user in response to Brooks’ video appears to show a man – described by some as Bealer – shoving a bouncer at the J-Bar earlier in the night. The video does show him leaving the scene after a brief argument.
A friend of Bealer who was contacted by The NEWS – Zachary Davis – also said he was on the scene. He said Bealer was not causing a disturbance at the J-Bar, nor did he ever make it inside; he said Bealer was actually assaulted by somebody who came out from the J-Bar, and that person ran back inside quickly.
“Ty was punched in the face,” Davis said. “Someone from inside the bar… proceeded to come out, punch Ty in the face, and run back inside. That’s why Ty was outside and so mad, because the guy came out, hit him, and ran. We didn’t even make it inside the bar. Ty dropped his wallet

I'm curious about the expectations that I should have when undergoing breast & mini TT procedures.
Doctor Answers 16
Breast Implant Selection with a Mommy Makeover
Usually if a woman wears a size 36 AB bra and would like to be a C cup, which is the average size that women wear and the average size bra that is sold, she needs a volume of approximately 350 to 390 cc to make that change. This becomes less if she's wearing a 34 bra, because it has a smaller strap size and the cups have a smaller diameter. A smaller diameter implant would then be a volume of approximately 300 to 350 cc. In the same way if she was more petite, maybe a double zero or size one and wore a 32 AB bra, then to become a 32C cup she would only require about 250 to 300 cc. This is a general number, and of course there are other factors that will affect this.
Furthermore, a Breast Lift with the Implants may be something to consider.
Getting #BreastImplants without a #BreastLift is usually said to be mistake by many patients who reflect back on the decision. Most breasts will look larger and more droopy with solely implants. They will sag more and sooner, due to the sudden and excess weight. At times it's possible for a “Snoopy” breast or double bubble to develop as a result.
Other factors which contribute to the outcome are size, shape, and profile.
The #profile is determined by the amount of #projection versus roundness that the you desire, as well as the #size of the implant and size of your chest. Also, the placement or incision location will also have an effect on profile.
Another element to a satisfying result of your #augmentation is realistic #expectations.
Talk to your surgeon at greater length and be sure to view before and after pictures and reviews beforehand to gain more reassurance of the procedure.
Breast and mini tummy tuck
BA size choice
Some photos for reference would be helpful for comment. Breast implants will be placed centered, under your areolas so the characteristics of your breasts such as spacing and nipple placement is unlikely to change much with Breast Augmentation. What it will do is add volume and fullness to the breasts. Issues such as constriction of the breast can also be improved with additional surgical interventions + breast implants.
What determines the cc's of your implant is a combination of your Plastic Surgeon's measurement of your breasts and your desired outcome. My patients find it helpful to try on sizers in office from a small range of options provided. Each will be a "fit" for the patient, but have varying degrees of fullness and projection.
I recommend that you book a consultation with a board certified Plastic Surgeon who specialises in breast augmentation and share your expectations with them.
All the best!

Breast augmentation and symmetry
Find a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and discuss what will be the proper treatment to achieve the result you desires.
Dr. Luis Redondo
Breast augmentation and mini tummy tuck
Thank you for your question. It is difficult to be very specific with an answer but in general, many factors going to play to have your natural and symmetrical presentation. Most important factor would be choosing your plastic surgeon and having discussions regarding your goals in person. In general, if there is a combination procedure, you can have your breast implants placed through your tummy tuck incision TABA.
Expectations for a breast enlargement and mini tummy tuck
- Yours is a very complex question -
- The end result is based on your own anatomy, the look you want and how close the surgeon can get to that look.
- If your breasts are asymmetric and the nipples off-center, your surgeon will explain what can and can't be achieved - no woman has truly symmetric breasts. Most differ by a 1/2 a cup size.
- The volume again is based on your dimensions and your goal.
- So in planning, you need to visit a plastic surgeon and with her/his help, figure out how close you can come to your desired look.
Hope you found this answer helpful. Best wishes

Following a stop-delivery order for its new midsize trucks and a rash of recent recalls, General Motors is issuing three more campaigns covering 60,575 vehicles in North America with 57,182 of them in the US. As of October 1, the automaker has issued a total of 74 recalls (see the ridiculously long chart to the right) this year covering 26,495,070 units in the US.
The largest campaign covers 46,873 examples in the US of the 2008-2009 Pontiac G8 and 2011-2013 Chevrolet Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle imported from Australia. It's possible for the driver's knee to hit the key and make it move from the "Run" to "ACC" position while driving. GM says its Holden division is developing a fixed-blade key that's supposed to fix the problem by only allowing it to rotate toward the "On" position. There has been one crash caused by this fault but no injuries or fatalities.
The second recall is for 10,005 units of the 2004-2007 Cadillac CTS-V and 2006-2007 Cadillac STS-V because "the fuel pump module electrical terminal may overheat." This can cause a flange to melt and allow the pump to leak fuel. GM specifies that the remedy for the CTS-V is replacing the fuel module and fuel tank jumper harness, but it doesn't specify how the STS-V is being repaired.

The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.
Generation Gap is mining the Lingenfelter collection again this week to compare two very different interpretations of the Pontiac Firebird. An original 1968 example goes toe-to-toe with a 2010 Lingenfelter Trans Am to see whether the old man or the modern re-imagining takes the crown.
Being from the Lingenfelter collection, both cars are absolutely immaculate. The '68 packs a Pontiac 350-cubic-inch (5.7-liter) V8 with a claimed 320 horsepower and some classic, muscular style with a hood-mounted tach. Plus, it's painted in an understated shade of green that you don't usually see.
In the other corner is Lingenfelter's pumped-up take on the classic shape based on the modern Camaro, and this is just one of six concept versions ever made. It wears an eye-catching, vintage-inspired livery of blue with a white stripe package. Under its shaker hood is a 455-cubic-inch (7.5-liter) V8 with a reported 655 hp and 610 pound-feet of torque.

Her work is an important contribution to the conversation about how to deal with bullying in schools. As the New York Times says, Sticks and Stones is an “authoritative and important book [that] should not only be read by educators and parents alike, but should also be taught in law schools and journalism schools.” Not only that, but her 2010 Slate coverage of the suicide of Massachusetts high school student Phoebe Prince earned her several prestigious awards. Articulate and honest, Bazelon has spoken about the topic of bullying to students, parents, and teachers, and at the Aspen Ideas Festival, The Texas Bar Association, and at TEDxWomen, as well.
Able to tailor her talks to a specific audience, Bazelon uses her first hand experience researching the way bullying takes place in high schools to pinpoint how to react to bullying—and how not to. She also draws on her time as a legal scholar to address the legal ramifications of bullying both in schools and after class is dismissed. It's important to define bullying in a limited way, says Bazelon. While it is good practice to follow the “if it's mean, intervene” mantra, she says you also have to take into account that bullying typically involves repetitive abuse. Understanding the different types of bullies that exist and the ways that bullying has changed (with the advent of cyber bullying and what she calls “Facebook thugs”) is key to drafting a solution to the problem. Further, she says the development of character and empathy from a young age is a crucial component to developing tolerant and safe spaces for both kids and adults alike.

The coronavirus situation is fast-moving and I know a number of you will be worried about its impact. We have produced information related to the Coronavirus for local (parish and town) councils on a dedicated page on the NALC website. This should not be used as a substitute for government advice, however, there are some practicalities specific to local councils where we hope this information will help you plan and manage your risks.
Coronavirus and cybersecurity
NALC’s partners Microshade have also provided some timely additional advice for local councils in this blog, as fraudsters are exploiting the spread of Coronavirus to facilitate various types of fraud and cybercrime.
In his Budget on 11 March, the new chancellor of the exchequer, Rishi Sunak MP, set out his plan to support public services, individuals and businesses that may be affected by the coronavirus. NALC had called for the chancellor to renew the government’s commitment to end the toilet tax, which I’m delighted he did! You can read more in our news story including our initial reaction to the Budget.
Lobby Day success!
And throughout the day on 10 March, we held our parliamentary engagement day – Lobby Day – which combined with other meetings and events taking place through the month will see us engage with around 100 MPs. You can read more in our news story including the speech to National Assembly by the co-chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on local democracy, Richard Holden MP.
Communities Partnership Board
On 9 March I attended a meeting of the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government’s Communities Partnership Board, this brings together representatives from around 20 national community and voluntary sector bodies with senior civil servants working on the government’s communities agenda, here’s a summary:
- Officials set out the new government’s emerging thinking and confirmed that they were working on a Devolution white paper which would go further than elected mayors and embrace onward devolution
- Several questions were posed about how to strengthen local councils which we will be responding to, including through a Devolution task and finish group
- A discussion on the £150m Community Ownership Fund and we will be exploring further with officials the relevance for our sector.
- There was also an opportunity to flag up concerns with officials such as reviewing some statutory requirements and timescales if the Coronavirus situation deteriorates.
NALC National Assembly
NALC’s National Assembly met on 10 March in Westminster at the start of our annual Lobby Day, and while there were many comings and goings as Assembly members met their MPs, here are some headlines:
NALC Finance and Scrutiny Committee
- NALC is aiming to produce some simple guidance on the web accessibility regulations, prepared by Cllr Mark Harris, by the end of March
- It was agreed the next round of committee meetings would be via telephone conference, and in extreme and urgent organisational decisions would be taken by the Management Board or the chairman and vice-chairmen in consultation with the chief executive
- Our chairman, Cllr Sue Baxter, reported back on her meeting that morning with Nigel Huddlestone MP, minister at the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport and their representative on COBRA; he saw a potentially big role for our councils during the current situation, keeping an eye on vulnerable people and encouraging new volunteers to help out
- The Policy Committee had instigated work around climate change and devolution, with task and finish groups being established
- Councillors exchanged information on the six regional groupings of county associations which although working very differently, were perceived as being extremely valuable and should continue to be developed; it was agreed that NALC will send a representative to their meetings
NALC’s Finance and Scrutiny Committee was held on 25 February at the NALC office, here’s a summary:
- Cllr Peter Davey was re-elected unopposed as chairman, who welcomed new members Cllrs John Plant, Lorraine Rappè and Gordon Thurston
- The Committee received accounts for the 9 months to 31 December which showed a surplus ahead of budget, the estimated projected year-end also indicates a small surplus which is an improvement on the previous estimate
- Reports were received from officers and it was noted that there is some dependency on events and projects in the last quarter, some of which may not be receivable in this financial year, however, there is no significant concern at this stage
- Councillors also received a budget document which will be examined in more detail once the year-end is available, this will form the basis for the recommendations to be put to the 2020 AGM for the 2021/22 affiliations
- Bank balances reflect the surplus and the year-end results brought forward

Leader: Catharine Sharples
We have just finished our first foray into Zoom play reading which, once we sorted the technical hitches, went very well and it was lovely to see them. Two of our group do not have a computer, so I simply gave them a copy of the play and they were going to sit down at the same time as us, with a cup of coffee and read the play – with us in spirit at least and a wonderful suggestion by one of them. It was a short amusing play by AA Milne, called Wurzel-Flummery, which I got from the Third Age Trust website.
We have pencilled in our next meeting, via Zoom again, for 25th November. The playset service at the library is due to reopen in November, so here’s hoping.

Foxy was due to be picked up just before they went on holiday. When Gillian and the children and I arrived in Powys the puppies were playing in an enclosure on the grass and they were adorable. They were all fox red, perfect little miniature dogs, identical to the untrained eye though Charlotte and Ali, having handled and played with them from birth, knew them as individuals. Foxy had proved quite a leader, digging a tunnel from the pen and leading her siblings on a journey of discovery. They didn't get far before the escape was discovered and they were safely enclosed once more.
Our dogs greeted her with interest and enthusiasm and she was not in the least fazed by their size and coats – she'd never seen spotted dogs before! The next day Gillian and the children returned to Dorset to pack and then came back to Berkshire to deposit Tia and Foxy for the duration of their holiday.
Foxy was a delight. We hadn't had a baby puppy since Buddy and had forgotten the sheer joy of watching such a young animal explore and play and respond. As the time neared for Gillian and Paul's return we knew we were really going to miss this little character. After a long discussion but in reality within a very short time we decided to ask Charlotte if she would allow us a puppy. She agreed and in due course Jenna was born.
When we collected Jenna she came with us without a whimper or a backward glance – faithless bitch! Indeed, she responds to all comers, human, dog, cat with enthusiasm and friendship. She is a hard-working, eager little dog, ever willing to please unless she is following a scent and then her nose is busier than her ears – she is much better than she used to be though. We keep her occupied and try to avoid times when deer are more likely to be around. Until Jenna taught us otherwise we had never realised there were pheasant in the forest but she puts them up all over the place even though she's not supposed to be a Springer!
As a small puppy she was curious, responsive and not easily spooked and it was obvious that she had been well socialised. When she met adult dogs she was impeccably behaved, submitting to their inspection and doing everything a good puppy should to show that she knew her place at the bottom of the pecking order. With our dogs she had great fun, particularly with Frodo who could get her head in his mouth and who really enjoyed rough and tumble with her. It is delightful to see adult dogs playing so carefully with young pups.
Jenna and Frodo playing, January 2006
Jenna is now almost four years old and a confident, wonderful companion. There is not an ounce of nastiness in her though she would stand her ground if required. Surrounded by three boisterous unruly collies last week we thought she might tell them what she thought but fortunately they bounded away on some other pursuit.
She is an avid television watcher and barks at animals on the screen. She also purports to be a guard dog, making loud 'go away' noises only to meet incomers with great joy. She shows her true working credentials when Tia and Foxy come to stay. She and Tia work together, tails waving like flags, the one waiting for the other when the 'bag' has been picked up. (Foxy is more interested in retrieving biscuits!) The tails are a great indicator of progress. As they quarter the ground and near the objective the wagging gets faster. When the 'bag' has been spotted and is about to be taken the tails wag very fast, the shoulders lift and the front paws hit the ground in a pouncing movement. Even alone Jenna works tirelessly and energetically and we have to be careful that we don't exhaust her. The most stimulating exercises for her are those where she has to sit and watch and wait before being sent out to fetch. If the 'catch' is in water she ducks her head under the surface in her quest to find it. It is fascinating to watch her.
Jenna is deferential and gentle with Dominie and will take her a toy if she senses that Dominie is frustrated or unhappy. Along with Frodo she carefully cleans her mouth stopping the instant Dominie tells her to. She is respectful to Buddy and seems to understand that he cannot see very well but licks his muzzle when he is relaxed.

2 Chronicles 11-12
Solomon died and his son, Rehoboam became king. The people requested that he lighten the harsh labor and the heavy yoke that the king was requiring of them and they would serve him. It takes a lot of taxes and hard work to support the extravagant lifestyles of a family of 700 wives and 300 concubines. By following the poor advise of his peers, he unwisely threatened to increase the harsh labor and make the peoples’ yoke heavier. He arrogantly pronounced “My father made your yoke heavy; I will make it even heavier.” Nope. That was it. No more. The people had enough. They refused to support the king any longer.
The united kingdom of Israel was divided. There was now a northern Kingdom of Israel and the southern Kingdom of Judah which included Jerusalem and was ruled by Rehoboam. Jeroboam, the king’s rival becomes the king of Israel.
We can learn a lot from Rehoboam’s mistakes. We can take advice from godly individuals with more life experience and we can sympathize with others who are experiencing difficulties especially if we are leading those individuals. But perhaps the most important thing we should learn from his example is that Rehoboam “did evil because he had not set his heart on seeking the LORD.” Our life purpose should be to experience a loving relationship with God through Jesus. What portions of our lives might be torn apart because we reject God? What portions of our lives will receive blessings by seeking the LORD?
Today’s Bible reading passages can be read or listened to at BibleGateway here – 2 Chronicles 11-12 and Romans 5

Joshai is a wonderful dog caregiver. She is responsible and takes good care of my dog.My dog is always happy to see her smiling face!
Dog care will be top priority
Even though I’m fairly young I’ve gained experience with caring for dogs and cats from personal experiences and volunteer work with an animal shelter. I’m mostly available during the week, but I do work prn Monday’s, Friday’s, Saturday’s, and Sunday’s (will vary with every new 2 weeks). The days during the week I’m available at 3pm-9pm (no later than 11pm). If I’m off on either saturday...
What Joshai would like to know about your dog
Smaller to medium dogs are preferred due to having my own dog ( Yorkshire terrier).

Characterization of AVHRR global cloud detection sensitivity based on CALIPSO-CALIOP cloud optical thickness information: demonstration of results based on the CM SAF CLARA-A2 climate data record
Abstract. The sensitivity in detecting thin clouds of the cloud screening method being used in the CM SAF cloud, albedo and surface radiation data set from AVHRR data (CLARA-A2) cloud climate data record (CDR) has been evaluated using cloud information from the Cloud-Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization (CALIOP) onboard the CALIPSO satellite. The sensitivity, including its global variation, has been studied based on collocations of Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) and CALIOP measurements over a 10-year period (2006–2015). The cloud detection sensitivity has been defined as the minimum cloud optical thickness for which 50 % of clouds could be detected, with the global average sensitivity estimated to be 0.225. After using this value to reduce the CALIOP cloud mask (i.e. clouds with optical thickness below this threshold were interpreted as cloud-free cases), cloudiness results were found to be basically unbiased over most of the globe except over the polar regions where a considerable underestimation of cloudiness could be seen during the polar winter. The overall probability of detecting clouds in the polar winter could be as low as 50 % over the highest and coldest parts of Greenland and Antarctica, showing that a large fraction of optically thick clouds also remains undetected here. The study included an in-depth analysis of the probability of detecting a cloud as a function of the vertically integrated cloud optical thickness as well as of the cloud's geographical position. Best results were achieved over oceanic surfaces at mid- to high latitudes where at least 50 % of all clouds with an optical thickness down to a value of 0.075 were detected. Corresponding cloud detection sensitivities over land surfaces outside of the polar regions were generally larger than 0.2 with maximum values of approximately 0.5 over the Sahara and the Arabian Peninsula. For polar land surfaces the values were close to 1 or higher with maximum values of 4.5 for the parts with the highest altitudes over Greenland and Antarctica. It is suggested to quantify the detection performance of other CDRs in terms of a sensitivity threshold of cloud optical thickness, which can be estimated using active lidar observations. Validation results are proposed to be used in Cloud Feedback Model Intercomparison Project (CFMIP) Observation Simulation Package (COSP) simulators for cloud detection characterization of various cloud CDRs from passive imagery.

There was a good article in the Globe & Mail recently outlining New Brunswick’s demographic challenges and how that is dampening the economic potential of the province. It certainly wasn’t a positive article – but it wasn’t the typical hatchet job either. It’s behind the paywall so I can’t link it here.
It was written by a former NBer. In my experience, there are two kinds of former NBers – those that are bitter and want to crap on their former province and those that still have an affinity to their former home and a nuanced view of things. Unfortunately some of the former have found their way into senior federal government roles, but I digress.
Unfortunately the writer continues to lament the woeful out-migration of New Brunswick’s youth and he continues to make this the main plot line for New Brunswick’s economic challenges.
In fact, it is the main plot line but for the exact opposite reason.
There are many reasons why young New Brunswickers leave – the main one being for economic opportunity. This is not controversial – most people agree on this point. But like most things in life you have to avoid the superficial explanation and dig a little deeper. We encourage our young people to go to university – a good thing – but the fact remains that the economy is creating a lot of jobs that do not require a university degree. Do we expect these young university educated workers to stay for jobs that don’t require a university degree?
Someone told me recently they went to UdeM engineering and 53 of the 55 people that graduated with them left the province. Do I think we should eliminate UdeM engineering? Absolutely not. In fact I think we should do a looooot more to position this talent pool as an asset to attract engineering firms or to support local engineering firm expansion. Many of these young Francophone engineers would be happy to stay in New Brunswick and work.
But I don’t think that engineer will go work in a back office or a warehouse or a manufacturing assembly line.
The facts are simple. People are more mobile than ever before. We are attracting more immigrants and more of them are showing up in the interprovincial migration data. Again, what do you expect? Immigrants don’t have roots here – very little connective tissue to the local community. Of course many will leave. The great Toronto loses an average of 23,000 per year on a net basis to intra- and inter-provincial migration. There isn’t a lot of hand wringing about the lost youth population in Toronto. They just go out and bring in 75,000 more every year. When Manitoba and PEI massively boosted immigrant numbers a few years ago – their net interprovincial migration spiked – as you would expect it to. But they kept more than they lost – and their economies benefited from it.
Canada is a place where it is not hard to find hypocrisy. I hear at some some federal bureaucrats are lamenting the fact that a lot of the jobs under the Atlantic Immigration Pilot are in service industries and other lower wage sectors. They would have preferred a lot more higher end jobs.
The flexibility to fill gaps in the labour market – across the spectrum – was the MAIN point of the Atlantic Immigration Pilot. Tens of thousands of immigrants flow into Ontario every year into lower skilled jobs – even a peek at the data confirms this – more than 60% of manufacturing workers are first generation immigrants, more than 50% of contact centre workers – something like 50% of overall service industry workers in Toronto are first generation immigrants.
The point is that there are many pathways into Canada – family class, refugee, student, etc. and New Brunswick has been restricted to the pathways that are targeted at high skilled immigrants. The AIP was meant to fix that and fill gaps in the labour market – sending a signal that employers can find workers here and foster expansions and growth.
I’m not going to litigate all the other issues here. I’m tired of it. Yes there are lots of people using EI. Yes there are people that prefer to not work rather than work the jobs on offer. Yadda. Yadda. Yadda. Guess what, there are exactly the same kinds of folks in Ontario and everywhere in Canada – just a little higher proportion here. Please don’t hold the rest of the economy hostage because of this. It’s patently unfair to hobble New Brunswick just as it wants to get serious about economic growth.
Don’t obsess with youth out-migration. Many leave and come back and are better for the experience. Those that don’t come back – fine. They are building their careers and lives in a great country.
If we use this as an excuse to hold back immigration – we are dooming New Brunswick to a downward demographic spiral.

Week 7 / In many cases lots of architect and city developers thought about 'Planned' park, plaza, public areas. One of the possible and simple answer about "why some plazas work and others not?" is supplies before enough demand.
Proposal Overview - Impact on the immediate and wider urban context. Proposal designed to have minimal impact on accessibility, rights to light and privacy of neighbouring buildings. Original facade is retained to hide the proposal from the outside world.
Diagram of views! The best way to represent an idea of the intended use of a building is through the aid of diagrams. Program diagrams help represent ideas in a simple and visually understandable format.

Forty crypto providers cosigned an open up letter to the European Parliament, European Fee and other principal EU institutions with a phone to assure frequent-feeling regulation, standardized compliance processes and an innovation-welcoming small business ecosystem.
An open letter on behalf of the global World wide web3 community and “businesses across Europe,” shared with Cointelegraph by 1 of the signatories, went out to EU institutions on Tuesday. The industry gamers expressed their concerns in excess of some latest EU-degree regulatory initiatives:
“We want to urgently convey our issue with proposed EU guidelines that threaten the privateness of persons as very well as digital innovation, advancement and task development in Europe.”
Additional exclusively, the cosigners claimed that recent proposals by some EU legislators, these kinds of as data disclosure prerequisites for non-custodial crypto wallets, can make the adoption of World wide web3 answers excessively burdensome for European citizens.
The crypto stakeholders inspired regulators to “not exceed the FATF Journey Rule suggestions for Crypto Asset Providers Providers (“CASPs”) report-preserving and verification” and “ensure that decentralized protocols and entities are exempt from lawful entity firm and registration.”
Connected: Unhosted is unwelcome: EU’s assault on noncustodial wallets is section of a much larger craze
Other requests involved the exemption for algorithmic or or else decentralized stablecoins from the asset-referenced token definition in the proposed EU Regulation on Marketplaces in Crypto Belongings, or MiCA.
Among the the stakeholders that have signed a letter are Pascal Gauthier of Ledger, Diana Biggs of DeFi Systems, Jean-Baptiste Grafiteau of Bitstamp Europe, Lane Kasselman of Blockchain.com and some others.
On March 31, customers of two European Parliament Committees voted in support of the Anti-Cash Laundering (AML) regulatory package that seeks to revise the present Transfer of Cash Regulation (TFR) in a way that necessitates crypto support companies to “verify the accuracy of [the] info regarding the originator or beneficiary driving the unhosted wallet” for each transaction created in between a company supplier (typically, a crypto exchange) and a non-custodial wallet. Lots of prominent founders and executives in the crypto area condemned the move, contacting the necessities excessive and unfeasible.

Panel 1: Working Worlds: “Working on the Moon”
Thursday, 14.11.2019, 10:15 am
Outer space and the creation of sustainable living and working environments
The “Working on the Moon” panel explores the presumptuous idea of venturing deeper into space and settling on distant planets. As paradoxical as it may sound, but to set forth into infinity apparently helps to achieve an understanding of how to deal with limited space and scarce resources.
With experts from space agencies NASA and ESA, we discuss topics between the poles of space escapism and usable results for the design of our living and working environments: How will the construction of extraterrestrial colonies affect economy, science, and society on earth? Which impulses are generated towards architecture, design, technology, energy and material cycles? And how does a new space age impact media and pop culture?

“The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas. O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!”
You’ve heard of flying squirrels and flying fish, but did you know there’s also a squid that can fly? Even more surprising is that it accomplishes this amazing feat using jet-propulsion! Yes, though they were once only rumors, we now know that a certain kind of squid can emerge from the water and streak through the air at speeds up to 25 miles per hour. A team of Japanese marine biologists have actually photographed Japanese flying squid doing just that in groups.
Jun Yamamoto at Japan’s Hokkaido University describes how they take flight. The squid normally swims backwards through the water using its fins. But after taking in a large quantity of water, the squid forcefully ejects the water through a nozzle near its head and becomes airborne.
“Once they finish shooting out the water,” Yamamoto said, “they glide by spreading out their fins and arms. The fins and the web between the arms create aerodynamic lift and keep the squid stable on its flight arc. As they land back in the water,” he said, “the fins are all folded back into place to minimize the impact.”
Of course, it didn’t take long for evolutionists to claim that these squid evolved all the parts necessary to fly so that they could escape from sea-going predators. But as it turns out, Japanese flying squid face even more formidable predators in flight – like the albatross. So once again we see that the evolutionary explanation just doesn’t fly.
Lord Jesus, the wonders of Your creation have turned many people away from evolution. Use me to share creation truth with my family and friends so I may help them find the path that leads to You. Amen.

Thursday, 6th December
For all photos for 6th December, click here to view them on my dropbox site. If you don’t have Dropbox, use this link to sign up and you and I will both get a bonus amount of free storage space.
I think I have died and gone to heaven. I have just checked in to my room at the wonderfully named “Charisma Deluxe” hotel on the shore of the Adriatic in Kusadasi near Selcuk/Ephesus. When I say “shore”, I mean directly on the coast. I am sitting out on the balcony of the room smoking my pipe overhanging the ocean below. The chill is beginning to set in now that the sun has gone down (it is 5:15pm) but when I arrived it was very pleasant outside (no breeze to speak of). To think that this morning in Pamukkale it was near to freezing and raining and grey for most of our journey here this afternoon! Turkey has as many weather zones as Australia!
As I said, we left Pamukkale this morning after a cold and wet night at 8am, and travelled to the other side of the mountain range (out of the Lycos Valley) off the beaten path a bit to get to the ancient site of Aphrodisias. As the name suggests, the city was named after the fertility/love goddess Aphrodite (and her little mate, Eros), to whom there was a major temple. It had been settled earlier, but the Greeks converted it into a major centre in the Hellenistic period, and it continued to be honoured by the Romans. You can guess that in a city named Aphrodite, a major form of “worship” included temple prostitution, and there are very large baths on the site dedicated to the Emperor Hadrian. A beautiful small pool near the baths has a nice marble of statue of a male nude. When Christianity became the state religion under Theodosius in 381, the name of the city was changed to Stauropolis, or “the City of the Cross”, and the temple converted into a Christian church and the surrounding precinct into a centre of Christian learning. The bishop took over the “palace” and the little theatre-like meeting room of the town became a place for ecclesiastical meetings.
The whole site is incredibly beautiful, at least at this time of the year. The grass is green all around, and covered in oak and pomegranate trees (the pomegranates left on the trees were all over-ripe and split open, but tasted very sweet – much better than the sour piece I tried in the hotel this morning). One of the most arresting sights is that of the tetrapylum, a structure at the entrance to the Temple of Aphrodite, designed along the lines of a cross roads covering. Nearby is the grave of the principle excavator of the area, Professor Kenan Erim, who died in 1990, single and childless. He asked to be buried here since the site was his home and every statue he uncovered were his children, and truly, one could hardly hope for a more serene resting place.
Absolutely breathtaking, however, is the stadium on the very northern edge of the city right up against, which Hakan jested is called the “O my God” Stadium, since that is the usual reaction of visitors who enter it for the first time. It is as large as the hippodrome in Istanbul, fully constructed of solid marble, and – without any reconstruction necessary – is virtually complete. I was tempted to run a lap of the stadium, but the danger would have been tripping over a half embedded lump of marble. In addition to this, there is a marvellous theatre, and an agora with a recreational pool in it about twice the size of an Olympic swimming pool.
Hakan left us to our own devices after showing us around the site, and I used the time to tramp over the temple/basilica area and then around behind the baths. I enjoyed just being out in the country side, really – it was a bit like being back home except for the 2000 year old ruins sticking up all around the place – and this was such a beautiful site. I spent so much time on the site itself that I didn’t have time to go into the museum at the entrance as other members of the tour group did. The museum contains much of the statuary found on the site, and other artifacts, which would have given more insight into the history of the city, but I don’t regret having spent my time outside. We gathered back at the entrance and boarded the tractor-trailer transport that had brought us here from the bus stop. Hakan then took us around to a local “rustic” Anatolian restaurant for lunch. This was an extremely nice way to mark the feast of St Nicholas – with a feast! The

Ethiopia’s uniqueness makes it a fascinating destination for every kind of traveller, but in particular for the traveller who wants that bit more. Ethiopia’s historic sites are extremely wide-ranging and possibly the most extensive in the whole of Sub-Saharan Africa. Experts claim that such sites are only a fraction of what Ethiopia has to offer given that a further 95% remain to be discovered and excavated.
Seven of Ethiopia's cultural heritage sights are included in the world cultural heritage list:
1. The Simien Mountain National Park (North Gondar Zone)
The Simien mountain is one of the major highlands of Africa, rising to the highest point in Ethiopia, Ras Dejen (4620m), which is the fourth highest peak in the continent. Although Simien is in Africa and not too far from the equator, snow and ice appear on the highest points and night temperatures often fall below zero.
The national park has three general botanical regions. The higher lands are mountain grasslands with fescue grasses as well as heathers, splendid Red Hot Pokers and Giant Lobelia. The park was created primarily to protect the Walia Ibex, and over 1000 are said to live in the park. Also in the park are families of the unique Gelada Baboon with its scarlet ‘bleeding heart on its chest,’ and the rare Simien fox. The Simien fox, although named after the mountains is rarely seen by the visitor. Over 50 species of birds have been reported in the Simien mountains.
Access to the park is from Debark, 101km from Gonder, where riding and pack animals may be hired. This should be arranged in advance through your local tour operator or the Office of the Wildlife Conservation Department.
2. The rock-hewn churches of Lalibela (North Wollo Zone)
Lalibela, 642 kilometres from Addis Ababa, is internationally-renowned for its rock-hewn churches which are sometimes called the "Eighth Wonder of the World". Physically prised from the rock in which they stand, these monolithic churches were originally thought to have been built in the 12th century during the reign of King Lalibela, but some have been dated back to the 10th century. There are eleven churches, assembled in three groupings:
The Northern Group: Bete Medhane Alem, home to the Lalibela Cross and believed to be the largest monolithic church in the world. It is linked to Bete Maryam (possibly the oldest of the churches), Bete Golgotha (known for its arts and said to contain the tomb of King Lalibela), the Selassie Chapel and the Tomb of Adam.
The Western Group: Bete Giyorgis, said to be the most finely executed and best preserved church.
The Eastern Group: Bete Amanuel, Bete Merkorios, Bete Abba Libanos and Bete Gabriel-Rufael.
Further a field lie the monastery of Ashetan Maryam and Yimrehane Kristos church.
3. The Castles of Gondar and other monuments (Gondar)
748 kilometres from Addis Ababa is the graceful city of Gondar, founded by Emperor Fasilidas in 1635. The city was Ethiopia's capital until the reign of the would-be reforming Emperor Tewodros II, also known as Theodore. During its long years as a capital city, the settlement emerged as one of the largest and most popular cities in the realm. It was a great centre of commerce, trading with the rich lands south of the Blue Nile, as well as with Sudan to the west, and the Red Sea port of Massawa to the north-east.
Gondar is famous for its many medieval castles and the design and decoration of its churches. The earliest of the castles was created by Fasilidas himself and is still in such an excellent state of repair that it is possible to climb its stats all the way to the roof, which commands a breathtaking view over much of the city.
Besides the famous palaces, visitors can inspect the so-called "Bathing Palace of Emperor Fasilidas" which is used for the annual Timket or Epiphany celebrations, and the abbey of the redoubtable eighteenth century Empress Menteweb at Qwesquam, in the mountains just outside Gondar.
4. Awash Lower Valley palaeontological and prehistoric sites

5. Axum historical and archaeological sites, central Tigray (Tigray Region)

20 April 2012 | The International Radioactive Waste Technical Committee (WATEC), a group of international experts appointed by the IAEA Deputy Director General for Nuclear Energy, met recently for its 12th annual meeting, at the IAEA.
To set the stage for the Committee’s discussions and recommendations, the current status of the IAEA's radioactive waste management activities was presented, including activities in both the Department of Nuclear Energy and Nuclear Safety and Security.
“We had very good discussions and presentations on the current and challenging issues that Member States are facing”, explained Ms Irena Mele, Section Head of the IAEA Waste Technology Section and Scientific Secretary of the event. “This included, for example, the management of radioactive waste in the aftermath of a severe nuclear or radiological accident, long-term liabilities related to radioactive waste management and the safe management of disused sealed radioactive sources”, Ms Mele added.
For example, the experts emphasized that it is very important to compile and analyze lessons learned in radioactive waste management, decommissioning and environmental remediation after large nuclear or radiological accidents. It is also crucial to disseminate the resulting information among Member States in an effective way.
Long-term liabilities are an important aspect of radioactive waste management plans and policies, the Committee pointed out. To that end, the experts strongly supported the IAEA's efforts in advising Member States in addressing these issues at an early stage of developing a new nuclear programme.
In addition, the IAEA should continue supporting Member States, who do not have the necessary infrastructure, in implementing borehole disposal of disused sealed radioactive sources.
The Committee recognized the positive development of the five Networks in set up by the Agency in the area of radioactive waste management and the CONNECT platform that provides linkage between all the networks.
“In fact, the Committee encouraged us to put even more emphasis on the Networks in future activities and projects, and use them to an even larger extent when defining and delivering the regular work programme”, Ms Mele stated.
The four day WATEC meeting, held on 27–30 March 2012, was attended by 16 Members from Australia, Brazil, China, Finland, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Japan, the Netherlands, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine and the USA. Four observers from the OECD-NEA, the WNA, Canada and the UK were also present.
Further information about WATEC 2012 meeting is available at the WATEC Meetings and Announcements page.
The International Radioactive Waste Technical Committee (WATEC) is a working group of senior international experts providing advice to the IAEA on radioactive waste management programme activities and directions, and supporting its implementation.
WATEC membership is limited to 20 members who are appointed by the Deputy Director General for Nuclear Energy for a period of four years. Read more...

The 992 Porsche 911 Turbo is on its way.
With an expected 2020 reveal, the next 911 Turbo has been spied testing recently, and now an image of it rolling along the production line has surfaced on Instagram.
Posted by self-proclaimed Porsche owner and enthusiast Todd Schleicher, the dual image features a 922-generation 911 looking rather aggressive from the rear three-quarter angle, with the second image simply a mirror of the first.
View this post on Instagram
Previously, the 992 Porsche 911 Turbo S has been spied and filmed blasting around the Nürburgring in test mule form, with similar air intakes on the rear wheel arches as seen in this image.
The wing, however, is a primary point of difference between the two, and the biggest indicator that this may not be the full-fat Turbo S.
While the test Turbo S spied at the ‘Ring sports a rather wider adjustable wing, this spied model has a more lip-style spoiler.
MOTOR detailed: 992 911 Turbo S preview
The leaked image of the car, which looks to have been taken in Porsche’s Zuffenhausen facility, also seems to show the car sporting a wider rump than base 992 models like the Carrera.
Though it’s paintwork, likely Agate Grey, is causing reflections galore, its air intakes would require a pair of wider haunches compared to the intake-free Carrera.
MOTOR review: 992 Carrera S prototype fanged
Picture: 992 911 Carrera S
If Porsche’s march of progress is to continue, the 992 911 Turbo will need to beat 3.0 seconds to 100km/h, with the 991.2 GT2 RS very much in its performance figure sights.
MOTOR contacted Porsche Australia for a statement, but Porsche’s local arm is unable to comment on the leak.

Taurus and Sagittarius Love and Marriage Compatibility
I hate to admit it, but I check my horoscope more often I should. I've also spent countless hours checking my compatibility with other signs just. This zodiac match can have a good compatibility on the love graph if both of them try to complement, rather than try to change each other. Taurus people enjoy. Although Taurus and Aquarius could complement each other perfectly, they will rarely Taurus Compatibility With Aquarius in Love, Life, Sex, Communication.
Taurus is your countryside and Sagittarius is the world, so their problems could easily include disrespect because of their origin or their goals.
If Taurus was a bit more prone to temporary infatuations or platonic relationships, they could fall in love with a Sagittarius enough to overcome the differences between them. Sagittarius on the other hand, is often infatuated and temporarily in love.
Their pace is off and they rarely get in sync with their emotions. Most relationships between a Taurus and a Sagittarius partner that manage to last, are those that started as a friendship and had a chance to develop emotionally for years without them actually being in a romantic relationship.
There is too much love and happiness in the world if they start sharing opinions and this can become like a drug to both of them. The practicality of Taurus will usually break this pattern and hit a counter-attack with their reality checks and material issues so they can both remember where their values part ways — to security and utter lack of it.
That is mostly what they both would share.Leo & Sagittarius: Love Compatibility
Taurus might not actually share food with joy, but they will certainly like to share the activity of eating. It could be quite easy for them to find other things to do together, too.
Sagittarius and Taurus Love Compatibility - cypenv.info
Taurus needs earthly pleasures in their relationships and as a fixed, Earth sign it is the slowest of all signs. This is not exactly someone who can easily understand the fast, changeable and fiery Sagittarius. The best possible scenario for their relationship would be for them to get to know each other very well and build a friendship without expectations, for years.
In the end, this could result in deep understanding that would provide them both with enough patience to actually start a relationship that has a future. If not, they can always hold on to beauty in the world. Imagine how wonderful their world of creation could be if they joined their forces of good.

Taurus and Sagittarius Compatibility
Taurus and Sagittarius Love Match Both these signs are intrinsically different from each other and are drawn to divergent things in life. While Taurus relies on stability and predictability, Sagittarius shines in a spontaneous and adventurous life.
It is difficult for them to find common ground, but if they do, they can help each other grow different dimensions to their respective personalities.

The Curtiss-Wright CW-19 began life as a civilian cabin cruiser but soon became a light military aircraft, and the basis of the CW-21 Demon fighter and CW-22 / SNC-1 Falcon light attack and trainer.
The CW-19 was developed in response to a request from the Bureau of Air Commerce, which wanted aircraft companies to develop light aircraft for the civilian market using the most advanced construction methods. Curtiss responded with the Model CW-19. This was a low wing monoplane, with an all metal fuselage, and a strong wing that would late be used on the CW-21 and CW-22 with very few changes. The wing had a tapered leading edge and straight trailing edge. On the CW-19 it was given a fixed undercarriage, with the main wheels carried within large spats. The later aircraft used a variety of types of retracting wheels.
The CW-19L had a standard cabin cruiser layout, with the two crew sitting side by side behind a windscreen, and with car style doors on either side. It was powered by the 90hp Lambert R-266 and had a Curtiss-Reed fixed pitch propeller. The sole example was purchased by the American government in 1935.
The CW-19L was felt to be rather under powered, so it was re-engined with a 145hp Warner Super Scarab. This improved its performance, but made it too ‘hot’ for most private pilots, so development of the civil version ended, and Curtiss focused on the military version instead. It isn’t clear if the CW-19L and CW-19W used the same airframe or not.
The resulting CW-19R kept the wings and undercarriage of the earlier versions, but with a modified fuselage. The most obvious change was that the cabin cockpit was replaced with a standard military style tandem arrangement, with a sliding canopy. The military version was given larger and more powerful engines, so the size of the fuselage reduced just behind the engine. The tail was also modified, with the vertical area increased, and the horizontal surfaces moved slightly forward. The overall dimensions remained the same. The CW-19R could carry up to four guns – one fixed forward firing gun in the fuselage, two carried on the outboard side of the undercarriage and one rear firing flexibly mounted gun. They could also carry bomb racks under the wings. The CW-19R was normally powered by a 350hp Wright R-760E2 Whirlwind, but could take a 450hp engine.
One CW-19R was sent to China in the summer of 1937 as a demonstrator. This aircraft was probably purchased by the Chinese Air Force, but it was lost in a crash on 5 January 1938 and two American pilots were killed. Some sources say that twenty aircraft were sold to China, but this is a misreading of the detailed Curtiss Aircraft, which states that twenty were sold ‘to China and South American Countries’. The South American aircraft included ten to Bolivia, two to the Dominican Republic and six to Equador.
Either Three or Five CW-19Rs were sold to Cuba.
The CW-A19R was an unarmed version of the CW-19R, that could be powered by the same engines as the standard US Army basic training aircraft of the period. This version was also registered for the civilian market for use as a possible racer. Three were built - one as a demonstrator, one that sold privately, and one that was used as the basis for the sole Curtiss-Wright CW-23.
Curtiss-Wright CW-21 Demon
The CW-21 Demon was a lightweight single seat fighter that used the wings from the CW-19, with a new fuselage. It was exported to the Dutch East Indies where it saw service against the Japanese and to China, although none of these aircraft entered service.
Curtiss-Wright CW-22/ SNC-1 Falcon
The CW-22/ SNC Falcon was a light attack aircraft and basic trainer that was exported to the Dutch East Indies, Turkey and Latin America, as well as being produced in larger numbers as a basic trainer for the US Navy.
The Curtiss-Wright Model CW-23 was a prototype for a Basic Combat aircraft, a new Army specification for an armed advanced trainer. It was based on the CW-19R, although built using the third CW-A19R. It was powered by a 600hp Pratt & Whitney Wasp engine, and gained the inward retracting undercarriage of the CW-21B. It kept the tandem seating of the CW-19R, but with a fixed cockpit canopy, and car type doors. The CW-23 was heavier that the CW-19R, but also much faster, with a top speed of 330mph. The single example was tested by the Army

2021. Eight years from now. If NASA can keep it on schedule, that's when the first human crew will be launched into space aboard NASA's Space Launch System (SLS) Block I launch vehicle. The mission will essentially be a repeat of Apollo 8, whose capsule and crew orbited the Moon and returned to Earth in December of 1968 (a mere seven years after the first successful Mercury launch).
NASA formally announced the SLS in September of 2011, so they've already had two years to work on it... meaning a full decade from concept to launch. And remember: it is based on mostly off-the-shelf technology.
Why should I be excited about the SLS? Sure, if it were here today, we could launch people and equipment into Lunar orbit and beyond. But eight more years? And that assumes no slips in the schedule. We know how often that happens. We are more likely to not see humans flying the SLS until 2023, if it hasn't been canceled.
In the meantime, the Dragon and the Falcon family of launchers will be human-rated (and possibly joined by launchers/spacecraft from other commercial suppliers). And while SpaceX is busy ferrying people and supplies to the ISS on NASA's nickel, Elon Musk will be working toward loftier goals. The next few years will be exciting times for space exploration, but other than an un-crewed test flight four years from now, the SLS will not play much of a part.
1st-graders filled with enthusiasm for the mighty SLS by NASA's educational and public outreach efforts? They'll be paying speeding tickets before they will see a meaningful launch.
So I'm going to set an alarm for 2021, and then I'll consider getting excited about the SLS.

The very best players in the world all tell us that in order to score low, you must work on your short game. Quite a few years ago now, I was invited to meet Tom Watson and see his golf clinic.
Longniddry Golf Club was the venue and Watson was playing the Open Championship at Muirfield that week.
He was and still is one of the most impressive strikers of the golf ball, and his clinic was fun and very impressive. After hitting some irons and drivers, shaping the ball at will, he turned to the short game.
Concorde was still in the air then and he commented that he could afford to fly over on Concorde because he had a good short game!
The saying is YOU DRIVE FOR SHOW AND PUT FOR DOUGH - but to hole the putt you need to have chipped the ball pretty close usually.
Some of the thoughts and ideas I learned that day are what I would like to write about this month...
The shots around the green, executed well, will reduce your scores.
Firstly, like most top players - assess the lie. Is the ball sitting down or lying on hard pan? If so, playing a pitching wedge, a club that carries less bounce on the sole, will help you achieve a better result than a sand iron or lob wedge which carry more bounce.
THIS HELPS YOU HIT THE BALL FIRST RATHER THAN THE TURF.
Then look at the shot and try to visualise what you want to achieve.
Picture 1 shows three cups placed on the green showing three different pitch points. A pitch point is where the ball first bounces on the green.
Playing a 7 iron from just off the green you would pitch the ball to the first cup - a third of the distance from the hole - as a 7 iron will always fly the ball a third through the air and run two-thirds. A 9 iron flies halfway through the air and runs the rest and a sand iron three-quarters in flight and only a quarter run.
Knowing those pitch points will help you visualise the shot as you can decide where you wish to pitch the ball and control the amount of roll the ball has.
The chip and run shot I am focusing on is played with a 7 iron but you could also use the same technique with a 9 iron or a SW. Play this well and watch your handicap come down.
Picture 2 shows a poor technique as the right hand has been allowed to overtake the left hand and left wrist, resulting in the ball being flicked airborne or thinned across the green.
Picture 3 shows a much better action as the left wrist has not hinged or collapsed. This allows the shoulders, arms and hands to swing the club. This technique has less moving parts, helps you feel the club head better and is a more repetitive action. Please note as we are wanting a low running shot, the ball position is towards the back of the stance.
Picture 4 shows a simple drill where a business card is pushed under my watch strap. Swing the club with nice slow short swings, backwards and forwards not bending the card. This will help promote the feeling of the shoulders, arms and hands swinging together at the same speed.
Tom Watson won enough money to fly first class - maybe a little practice from you might result in the odd monthly medal voucher!

M48 Patton main battle tank
Country of Origin: USA
Once the principal main battle tank (MBT) of the U.S. Army and Marine Corps, the M48 was fully replaced by the M60 in U.S. service. It was a development of the previous M47 Patton. The M48 featured significant technical differences from its predecessor, including a new turret and chassis, revised suspension and more powerful engine. The new hull was longer, lower with a sloped forward part and a hemispherical turret. The M48A3 has a boat-shaped armor cast hull with additional sections...

Nexans launches LANmark EVO Snap-in Connectors
New exclusive features
Exclusive new features of the LANmark EVO connectors are: shorter length - for ease of use in shallow boxes; quicker installation - thanks to the new EMC (ElectroMagnetic Compatibility) cover; easier to use - new wire organiser simplifies and speeds up wire placement; reusability - the EVO series can be re-terminated using the new Universal Comfort Tool; increased versatility - the range includes versions designed specifically for use with stranded conductors providing enhanced reliability for consolidation points.
The new LANmark EVO series connector is fully compatible with snap-in format outlets and patchpanels and can be used in conjunction with existing connectors if required.
In recent years, termination time has had an increasingly dramatic effect on the total installed cost. So Nexans has developed the EVO series with installers in mind to save at least 20 percent of the installation time compared with competitors products.
The EVO series will be phased in to replace the existing connectors during March and April as current stocks are replenished.
A new Universal Comfort Tool
Nexans has also launched a new Universal Comfort Tool that can be used with the new EVO series connectors as well as the current range and the LANmark-7 GG45. In addition to providing fast reliable termination, it also enables the wire organiser to be removed in the event of a wire map error and re-terminated.

The island of Kerrera has a number of ferry services. There are, however, some concerns that they do not meet the needs of the islanders; and anecdotally they are not commercial and therefore not sustainable in the medium term. Transport Scotland, working alongside the current ferry operators, the island residents and Argyll and Bute Council, are putting in place measures to ensure that the ferry services continue to operate in the short term. This includes some enhancements to existing provision.
The research was commissioned to identify and assess longer term options for ferry provision to Kerrera. A number of specific infrastructure issues were also to be investigated. The level of work required was akin to pre-appraisal STAG and part 1 STAG.
The work was undertaken between November 2012 and February 2013. It comprised:
•Face-to-face and telephone consultations with the island community and other stakeholders.
•Review of existing documents.
•An engineering review which included an inspection of existing infrastructure.
A public meeting was held on Kerrera in early February 2013. Feedback and comment received was fed into the option assessment.
An initial list of individual options was developed. They were assessed against the transport planning objectives and in terms of their complementarity to one another.
The outcomes were used to put together the best performing individual options into meaningful packages for the purpose of the option assessment. These were:
•Do Minimum-using existing vehicle ferry route.
•A: enhanced ferry service on existing vehicle ferry route, plus road investment on Kerrera (link road from north to middle of Kerrera and upgraded south road).
•B: enhanced ferry service on existing vehicle ferry route, no road investment.
•C: direct vehicle ferry service to Oban, plus road investment on Kerrera (link road from north to middle of Kerrera and upgraded south road).
•D: direct vehicle ferry service to Oban, no road investment.
From the option appraisal we conclude that Option A amended to exclude a south road upgrade appears the most affordable and achievable overall solution. It would offer significant benefits and very largely meet the current transport needs of the community.

The design of a high torque brushless DC motor to replace the induction motor and worm gear for valve actuators is described. Minimum motor cost, short axial length and low electronics rating are achieved by selection of open slots and coils wound on bobbins. First and second harmonic designs are compared, with either 2 or 4 magnet poles facing 3 teeth. As well as being cheaper from having fewer coils, the second harmonic design is found to be superior in having lower copper loss at peak torque. The peak tangential force density across the gap was 5.8 × 104 N/m2. Measurements are reported on 75 Nm and 150 Nm peak torque prototypes, which are intended to "run" at 180 rpm and at 20 Nm and 40 Nm respectively. Though 36 pole motors, their no load loss would be sufficiently low for higher speed operation, even to around 2000 rpm. Successful operation as an actuator was observed on a valve.

The largest of the two pirates ships was commanded by a Japanese captain who spoke a small amount of imperfect Dutch. He came up to Gulliver and after asking several questions which the latter answered with humility, the captain commanded that he should not die Gulliver then made a very low and turning to the Dutchman said that he was sorry to find more mercy in a heathen than in a fellow Christian brother it was this comment of his which angered the Dutchman and he made sure that a punishment was inflicted on him, if not death, which was worse than death to Gulliver. Gulliver's men were equally divided into both the pirate ships and his stoop new manned. As to Gulliver, it was determined hat he should be set admit in a small canoe, with paddles and a sail, and four days' provisions, the last addition being upon the kind Japanese captain's insistence who provided them from his own stores and permitted that no man ought to search him. Gulliver git down into the canoe while the Dutchmen stood upon the desk loading him with all the curses and injurious terms his language could afford.

The first monolithic machined panel for the first AgustaWestland Future Lynx was manufactured last week at Oldland CNC's facility in
Oldland CNC is manufacturing 83 of the 147 Future Lynx primary structure monolithic machined components and supplying them to GKN Aerospace for incorporation into the airframe prior to delivery to AgustaWestland.
‘The start of manufacture of the Future Lynx represents an important step in the evolution of the next generation of Lynx for the Ministry of Defence,’ said Graham Cole, managing director business, AgustaWestland. ‘As the first programme to be signed under the Strategic Partnering Arrangement I am delighted that every programme milestone has been met on time and we look forward to the first flight in late 2009.’
The first Future Lynx, a Battlefield Reconnaissance Helicopter (BRH) variant for the British Army, is scheduled to fly in 2009 and will be followed by the first surface combatant maritime rotorcraft (SCMR) variant for the Royal Navy.
The BRH and SCMR variants have over 90% commonality and are powered by CTS800-4N engines.
In June 2006 the Ministry of Defence awarded a contract valued at nearly £1bn to supply 70 Future Lynx helicopters comprising 40 BRH variants and 30 SCMR variants with options for a further 10 aircraft.
The BRH variant will enter operational service in 2013 and the SCMR variant in 2014. So far, more than 80 per cent of the project design activity has been completed with a full air vehicle critical design review scheduled to take place in April 2008.

Looking for a cheap ski holiday? Slovenia offers a budget-friendly alternative to the extravagant ski resorts of France, Switzerland and Austria. Slovenia’s best ski resorts are nestled in the Julian Alps, and they’re each only an hour or two apart – so you could spend one day in Vogel and the next in Cerkno.
You’ll get more for your money in Slovenia than in more popular European ski destinations, especially if you buy a ski pass – this allows you to ski all of the major Slovenian resorts. With that in mind, grab your skis and check out these top ski resorts in Slovenia.
Despite being one of the smaller Slovenian ski resorts, Golte Ski Resort is often considered one of the most beautiful ski centres in Slovenia. The summit has beautiful views over the Savinjske Alps and Karavanke mountains, located just above the town of Mozirje. It has 12km (7mi) of family-friendly ski slopes and 5km (3mi) of cross-country skiing tracks. While Mozirje has ample restaurants, bars and accommodation, Golte Ski Resort’s hotel has all the ski-holiday necessities: massage and wellness centres, sauna and pool areas, and first-class rooms.

The boiling water reactor (BWR) uses ordinary water (light water) as both its coolant and its moderator. In the BWR the water in the reactor core is permitted to boil, and the steam generated is used directly to drive a steam turbine. This steam is then condensed and recycled back to the reactor core.
This arrangement represents probably the simplest possible for a nuclear reactor because no additional steam generators are required. However the internal systems within a BWR are complex. Steam pressure and temperature are low compared to a modern coal-fired power plant and the steam turbine is generally very large. BWRs have capacities of up to 1400 MW and an efficiency of around 33%.
The BWR uses enriched uranium as its fuel. This fuel is placed into the reactor in the form of uranium oxide pellets in zirconium alloy tubes.
Refuelling a BWR involves removing the top of the reactor. The core itself is kept under water, the water shielding operators from radioactivity.
In common with all reactors, the fuel rods removed from a BWR reactor core are extremely radioactive and continue to produce energy for some years. They are normally kept in a carefully controlled storage pool at the plant before, in principle at least, being shipped for either reprocessing or final storage.

Improved technology from suppliers backs up a continuing campaign to keep accident trends going in the right direction.
A safe railroad goes hand-in-hand with a productive, not to mention profitaitable, railroad. On the most fundamental level, grade crossing warning systems serve as safety devices and recent enhancements are aimed at making grade crossings safer. Suppliers realize that the overall goal of safety isn’t tied solely to a crossing’s rate of incidents. Manufacturers are making warning devices that are more user-friendly, more reliable, and easier to maintain in order to help protect the public who use crossings, the crossing maintainers, and the railroad operators.
Ansaldo STS USA, Inc., offers the Model 95 Highway Gate Crossing Mechanism. According to Russell Glorioso, head of external communications-Americas at Ansaldo STS, the Model 95 provides top-quality performance in a variety of crossing configurations, including standard highway crossings, highway crossings combined with pedestrian gates, and highway crossing four-quadrant gate systems with entrance and exit gate mechanisms.
“The design offers our customers a simple, reliable and durable mechanism, built with both safety and value in mind,” said Glorioso. “It can be outfitted with either a relay (vital or non-vital) for motor control or with the new electronic motor controller, which provides a test button feature and LED indicator to quickly check functionality of the gate mechanism. Like all Ansaldo STS USA products, the Model 95 Gate Mechanism is backed by the Ansaldo STS USA R.A.I.L. Team (Rapid Action Information Link), providing direct support 24 hours a day, seven days a week.”
Derald Herinckx, global products leader of signaling systems at GE Transportation, says the company continues to enhance the capabilities of its ElectroLogIXS XP4 product. With its integrated ethernet capability, the ElectroLogIXS XP-4 allows customers to simplify designs by scaling one product from simple to complex applications. This ethernet capability also provides complete visibility into the ElectroLogIXS diagnostics interface offering users an intuitive setup and maintenance environment and new flexibility for remote access.
The flexibility of the ElectroLogIXS product family has also been leveraged to introduce a ElectroLogIXS Exit Gate Management System. The ElectroLogIXS Exit Gate management System is comprised of existing ElectroLogIXS technology and, says Herinckx, provides customers the opportunity to simplify the hardware, software, and sparing requirements in four-quadrant gate crossing applications.
“GE has already incorporated the first round of next generation diagnostics into the ElectroLogIXS XP4,” said Herinckx. “The ElectroLogIXS uses standard communication protocols such as SNMP to make fault information rapidly available to the railroad’s network management system. GE continues to build on this capability by working with railroads to determine how this interface can continue to grow and adapt to meet railroad needs.”
The most recent crossing-protection developments, in both safety and productivity, according to Invensys Rail Corp, are its remote monitor/test/report systems. These systems monitor actual crossing operation, compare that operation to a standard and report variances, including alarm conditions, direct to a signal maintainer or a central office location. The company says crossings can be tested remotely, including FRA tests, and necessary preventative maintenance can be planned and scheduled in advance. Also, with these systems, alarm reaction times can be greatly reduced to maximize crossing up-time. The current remote monitor/test/report systems can also provide a platform for further automation in grade crossing operation and maintenance.
A second area that Invensys sees growing interest in is four-quadrant gate systems, which further restrict vehicle access to the crossing. The company offers complete four-quad gate systems that are an extension of its grade crossing equipment packages.
Invensys Rail has integrated its Coded Audio Track Circuit (PSO 4000) and its GCP 4000 Crossing Controller technologies to provide an Occupancy Detector System that can be configured to provide constant warning time in electrified territory. This means that a coded, audio, overlay track circuit is available for electrified territory in an integrated crossing package—the “Crossing-In-A-Box” for electrified territory. Invensys’ crossing-protection products and systems are equally applicable to transit or heavy rail passenger operation where grade crossings are present.
National Electric Gate
National Electric Gate Co. has a product line that includes various types of gate arms, articulated gates, conversion brackets, digital light sets, LEDs, bus bars, insulated test links, insulated tools, bond strand, tefcel case wire, and signage.
“Our product line is constantly evolving,” said Marty Peterson, Jr., director of operations. “In doing this, we’re able to continually modify and update products and our customers receive cutting edge products per their specifications and requirements. No matter how big or how small the railroad is,

Transforming the DNA of the Built Environment is a two-part meeting held in the Spring and Fall of 2018 to kick off a collaboration between The Center for Ecosystems in Architecture at Yale (CEA) and New Lab. In Spring 2018, we will meet to discuss new strategies for linking systems for energy, water, air, food, and material life cycles through the mission of emergency housing, which will be the subject of a 36-month research, development, and demonstration project. In Fall 2018, we will meet to tackle the innovative ways in which new DNA for materials, devices, and integrated systems could lead to fundamentally different infrastructural models for distributing resources at the urban and district scales.
Due to increasingly massive patterns of migration and displacement, taking on emergency housing and infrastructure in a meaningful way is becoming one of the most intractable global challenges. Paradoxically, if taken on as a fundamental research challenge, it may also provide us with a rare opportunity to reconceive the basic DNA of the built environment sector itself, which is the principal contributor to climate change effects, non-renewable resource consumption, and toxic degradation of ecosystems. This opportunity is unique as the conditions do not necessarily come with all of the entrenched interests and impediments that limit the integration of building systems innovations and procedures. However, the challenge of emergency housing requires important advances in materials and methods for viably delivering safe and sustainable on-site energy, water, food and waste management, within manufactured systems that create lasting, respectful, humane environments.
To take on what we view to be the overriding challenge, which is the achievement of a dramatic increase in efficiency and reduction in material requirements for the delivery of functions, CEA is installing a novel test facility called the Built Environment Ecosystems Measurements Laboratory (BEEM Lab). Co-located at Yale and New Lab, BEEM Lab will provide an open architecture in which collaborators can competitively test the integration of any material or device within an ecosystem-of-systems environment. In this way, we will avoid the intractable problem of limiting systems innovations to the insertion of incremental, isolated strategies because they commonly have to comply with the context of conventional systems delivery methods.

Reviews for Meat Loaf in a Mug(6)
Sort By :
I am a college student who lives in the Residence Halls. I am staying on campus during a week where dining options are limited. So, I decided to try this as the only appliance I am allowed in my room is a microwave.
THIS WAS SERIOUSLY AMAZING! It was the perfect portion size and filled me right up! I would highly recommend this to anyone, especially college students!
I can't wait to try this one. I love good tasting meat loaf. I grind my own burger so I won't be draining anything. My burger has just enough fat in it to barely hold a patty together when making hamburgers.
I love this recipe. It is very easy to make and delicious!
Substitute for onion soup mix: any grill seasoning that you like.
does anyone have any idea what I can use instead of onion soup mix... my husband is very allergic to onion even in dried or processed form. :/

Effective embedding is actively conducted by applying deep learning to biomolecular information. Obtaining better embeddings enhances the quality of downstream analyses, such as DNA sequence motif detection and protein function prediction. In this study, we adopt a pre-Training algorithm for the effective embedding of RNA bases to acquire semantically rich representations and apply this algorithm to two fundamental RNA sequence problems: structural alignment and clustering. By using the pre-Training algorithm to embed the four bases of RNA in a position-dependent manner using a large number of RNA sequences from various RNA families, a context-sensitive embedding representation is obtained. As a result, not only base information but also secondary structure and context information of RNA sequences are embedded for each base. We call this 'informative base embedding' and use it to achieve accuracies superior to those of existing state-of-The-Art methods on RNA structural alignment and RNA family clustering tasks. Furthermore, upon performing RNA sequence alignment by combining this informative base embedding with a simple Needleman-Wunsch alignment algorithm, we succeed in calculating structural alignments with a time complexity of O(n2) instead of the O(n6) time complexity of the naive implementation of Sankoff-style algorithm for input RNA sequence of length n.

Playing String Instruments
- October 17, 2019
String instruments can be plucked with fingers or hit with a light wooden hammer or rub the strings with a bow and rosin.
With bowed instruments, the player pulls rosin horsehair across the strings to vibrate for the wheel whose rosin edge to touch the lines.
The techniques to create sound notes include plucking with the fingernails or a plectrum, strumming, and even picker to produce a sustained sound.
Most string instruments generate vibration that transmits to the body, which often incorporates a hollow or enclosed area. The instrument vibrates along with the air inside it. The wave of the body of the instrument and the enclosed hollow or chamber make the string more audible to the audience.

Text description provided by the architects. The Architecture Building Expansion is a reflection of the school’s curriculum and a working laboratory for sustainable practices. The south side of the site is occupied by a water conservation demonstration garden showcasing five different Arizona ecosystems, where students and the public can learn about water efficient irrigation and native plants. Water captured from the roof deck and condensate from the HVAC system filters into a 12,000 gallon holding tank used for the garden’s irrigation system, resulting in an 87% reduction in the use of potable water for the garden.
The architectural vocabulary of the building is based on exposed building systems. The use of exposed mechanical, structural and architectural systems becomes a teaching tool for the students who occupy this building. The use of glass, steel and concrete, as well as exposed utility systems, minimizes the quantity of materials, and the need for multiple layers of finishes resulting in a building assembly of naturally low VOC emitting materials.
The building is connected into the University’s Central Plant systems which efficiently generate the energy to serve the building’s heating, cooling and electrical needs. High performance HVAC and lighting systems integrated with state of the art digital controls work in unison with the building’s architectural elements to ensure maximum efficiency, flexibility and environmental comfort. HVAC system performance is further enhanced by continuously monitoring and dynamically utilizing seasonally available outdoor air heating and cooling energy.
The building’s window placement serves as a teaching tool and demonstrates the use of passive solar concepts. Maximum openings on the north, controlled openings on the south, and minimal east/west openings work to achieve natural lighting of spaces with minimal solar gain.
In addition to performing as a laboratory for exploring Sonoran Desert green roof strategies and photo-voltaic systems, the roof is an outdoor studio where student solar projects can be developed and demonstrated.
The building’s south exposure is protected with shade canopies and a green wall that allows vines to grow up for additional shading. Cooled by a high efficiency, indirect evaporative cooling system, the ground floor of the building is another student laboratory where architecture students can explore the capabilities of construction materials. By opening glass garage doors, this laboratory expands to include a sheltered exterior space.
After a nation-wide search for an architect, Jones Studio was selected in October 2001 by the Arizona Board of Regents to design the expansion to the existing School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture at the University of Arizona, in Tucson. The scope of work included a new 33,645 square foot, three-story addition connected to the existing building, and a 37,190 square foot remodel of the existing 35-year old red brick building. Project objectives include; 1) increasing student spaces, 2) increasing programs accessible from a central location, 3) creating an identifiable place to house community outreach programs, 4) addressing known space and building deficiencies, 5) being environmentally responsible.
A large part of the student’s training is “learning by doing”. The shop is 11,500 square feet and is made up of a series of “shop labs”. Included is a welding area; a metals area with shears, benders, 55-ton ironworker, sliproller, finger brakes, etc.; a wood lab; concrete lab; structures lab, digital fabrication lab, and various dust collecting systems for each lab.
The unification of the expanded CALA facilities with the existing CALA building is focused around a new central garden space. All college activities, functions and circulation paths will flow through this new outdoor learning space. The diagram exemplifies the spirit of collaboration that this multi-disciplinary school strives for. Everyone who enters the building will have the opportunity to interact with others - see and be seen. The concept of a front door becomes obsolete, as people approach and enter the building from many directions. This focus of “people energy” creates a new heart for CALA. It also plants a metaphorical seed for a culture based on collaboration, to grow from.

What I thought was the last resort for my keel problem turned out to be another adventure. I was confident that a haul out in a sling could easily be dropped on the trailer. Unfortunately, they could not drop it, because as they tried to lower it, the boat would lean one way or the other. So when I went to pick the boat up last night, it was still in the sling and I was told that I needed to replace the winch overnight or the they could work on it the next day at $75/hour. Needless to say, I spent last night at the boat yard putting in a makeshift winch in order to retract the 600 lb. keel. Fortunately, things worked as planned and I was able to retract the keel. The haul out seemed like a waste since I could have installed a winch in the water. One good thing was that I was able to attach a new cable to keel which I could not do on the trailer or in the water. Well, tonight I hauled the boat home and it is safely on the property, though it will be another adventure getting it beside the garage.

Associate Professor Sarah Marshall’s screenprint, “Cells Talk – Love Happens!” has been accepted into the 2021 Delta National Small Print Exhibition at the Bradbury Art Museum at Arkansas State University in Jonesboro, Arkansas. The exhibition opens January 21 and runs through February 17. This year’s juror was Charlotte Dutoit, founder and director of Justkids Global Creative House.
The print is one from an edition of Marshall’s screenprints she originally created for the Intersecting Methods 2018 portfolio exchange, organized by artist and curator Matthew T. McLaughlin.
Sarah Marshall’s work has been included in numerous national and international juried exhibitions and her work has been the subject of solo exhibitions in Alabama, Iowa, Pennsylvania and Maryland. Marshall has curated exhibitions and presented lectures and demonstrations at the College Art Association, the State University of West Georgia, West Virginia University and the University of North Alabama, among others.
Marshall is interested in how everyday experiences are constructed and recorded in the human mind. Her work explores the links between direct sensory encounters and a rich history of belief, imagination, and memory. Plant forms, animal forms and the figure reference the physical world. Manipulated words and letterforms, and references to language and translation suggest the complexities of human thought, learning and behavior. She often works with appropriated source imagery, cutting apart and recombining elements, and abstracting them through simplification, repetition, and layering. Her attraction to the multiple comes from the possibility of infinite variation as much as infinite repeatability, and a family of related images often replaces the edition in her studio practice. Marshall has taught graduate and undergraduate courses in printmaking at UA since 2000.

The gift of all this crumbles
with a single out-of-sync happening.
Geraniums are frosting over
and the high grass is yellowing.
Yesterday was a cat in symmetrical slumber,
pictures stood straight and warmth
was gathering like a sweet wind over the neighbourhood.
Does this mean it is my mind? like an insect living
one season, sees only that season, dies before winter,
content to have made it so long?
Does this mean the puddle
I jump in, wade in, determine in
is only a pail of water, nothing beside the ocean?
When the puddle is stirred from its stillness or
becomes a bath for snakes or dries up from too much sun –
it is still the puddle and will replenish again
as all puddles do in the rain, maybe
in the early evening just before the lion comes
to take a long, relaxed drink.

You can listen to the poem by clicking below:
“Allison Grayhurst intertwines a potent spirituality throughout her work so that each poem is not simply a statement or observation, but a revelation that demands the reader’s personal involvement. Grayhurst’s poetic genius is profound and evident. Her voice is uniquely authentic, undeniable in its dignified vulnerability as it is in its significance,” Kyp Harness, singer/songwriter, author.
“Allison Grayhurst’s poems are like cathedrals witnessing and articulating in unflinching graphic detail the gritty angst and grief of life, while taking it to rare clarity, calm and comfort. Grayhurst’s work is haunting, majestic and cleansing, often leaving one breathless in the wake of its intelligence, hope, faith and love amidst the muck of life. Many of Allison Grayhurst’s poems are simply masterpieces. Grayhurst’s poetry is a lighthouse of intelligent honour… indeed, intelligence rips through her work like white water,” Taylor Jane Green, Registered Spiritual Psychotherapist and author.
Review of ‘The Many Lights of Eden’:
“’The Many Lights of Eden’ is a journey: a journey of the heart through youth, anguish, struggle, spiritual awakening, grief, death, love, loss, guilt, struggle, despair, hope, surrender, God, sensuality, imperfection, motherhood, aging, the vanquishing of the devil, indeed, many devils, the inevitable fall from perfection and the casting off of old wineskins for a new one. Perhaps speaking of this book as a chronicle of spiritual maturing would be more accurate, the realization that there is spirituality within imperfection and that handmade temples cannot hope to compete with the spiritual temples within each of us. ‘The Many Lights of Eden’ is a diamond. It is a beautiful collection of insights. Allison Grayhurst’s thoughts and writings are a deep well. Drink from it, for the water is clear and crisp. This collection is a MUST-READ,” Eric M. Vogt, author of Letters to Lara and Paths and Pools to Ponder.

July 4, 2021 – Plugging Leaks
Most of the focus on cutting emissions of greenhouse gases has been on the reduction of CO2 emissions by cutting the use of fossil fuels. Carbon dioxide is not the only greenhouse gas; there are greenhouse gasses that are more potent than carbon dioxide. One of the biggest culprits is methane which is about 30 times more potent than CO2 but fortunately only stays in the atmosphere for about 9 years.
There are multiple sources for methane which includes leaks from extraction and refining processes such as old oil wells that have not been capped properly, Leaks from natural sources of methane, and methane that is created from agricultural processes.
The EPA estimates that there are 3.2 million abandoned oil wells in the USA and each of these can leak methane equivalent to the greenhouse gas put out by 600 cars. It is estimated that preventing these leaks quickly could slow the pace of global warming considerably. This could be a big win in trying to keep global warming to below 2 degrees centigrade.
Well Done Foundation is currently working on capping abandoned oil wells in Montana and has pilot projects in Louisiana and Pennsylvania. They sell carbon offset certificates and use the money to plug old oil wells stopping them from leaking methane. This is actually a carbon offset program that has a direct and large impact on global warming. Unfortunately, right now the number of wells they have been able to cap is quite small but as more companies try to become carbon neutral, we may see the pace pick up.
Methane leaks also occur at storage facilities, gas pipelines, and oil refineries. Finding these leaks and fixing them is quite a challenge. Fortunately, countries are now launching satellites that can identify methane leaks so that they can be plugged faster. This effort needs to be expanded and companies need to be held accountable for leaks that are not plugged in a timely fashion.
Another source of emissions of methane comes from natural sources. One place here in LA that I like to visit occasionally is the La Brea Tar Pits. Front and center is a large lake, and if you watch the lake carefully you will suddenly see a large disturbance in the water. This is caused by the release of a large bubble of methane from the heavy oil gilsonite that lies close to the surface at the tar pits. Leaks like this are occurring around the world and the only way we can really deal with this is to capture the methane and sequester it.
Another source of methane release is from the natural decay of plant materials. This occurs in several places but the most worrying is the artic where global warming is causing the frozen tundra to thaw. There is a large amount of plant material that has been frozen for thousands of years. As this material thaws it decomposes releasing methane into the atmosphere. The best way to prevent this is to stop the climate from warming so that the tundra no longer melts.
Emissions of methane also occur in landfills as organic refuse decays. The best answer to this is of course to produce less waste and this is going to become more important if we are to maintain a sustainable environment. In some cases, methane gas emissions from landfills have been captured and used for power generation. This is considered a renewable source of energy as resulting CO2 can be absorbed again by plants.
In the previous article I went into detail about how agriculture was a big source of methane. One of the biggest sources is the emissions from cows and other ruminants when they belch. Researchers in Australia have found that adding a small amount of Asparagopsis, a chemical compound found is some seaweeds, can reduce these emissions by as much as 80%. Research is continuing to try and find other sources that will reduce methane emissions in agriculture.
Preventing greenhouse gases from leaking into the atmosphere is a good way to fight global warming in the short term. It will not be cheap though. Imagine the cost to cap millions of old oil wells, and to cap currently producing wells properly when they close down. It is something that we have to do though if we are to really stop the worst effects of global warming.
Next, I will talk about population.

In this blog post, we will answer the question, “is gelatin flammable?”. We will also discuss what gelatin is, the uses of gelatin, the types of gelatin, and what is in the gelatin.
Is gelatin flammable?
No. Gelatin is not flammable. Gelatin is a collagen-derived protein and is not flammable.
What is gelatin?
Gelatin is a collagen-derived protein product. As a result of its particular amino acid composition, gelatin provides a wide range of health advantages. One of them is to enhance hair and skin health.
There is a lot of collagen in the human body and animals’ bones, skin, tendons, and ligaments.
Gelatin is becoming a frequent ingredient in the kitchen. It usually has no taste or color, dissolves in warm water, and solidifies when it cools.
Also, gelatin may be used to make hydrolyzed collagen, its amino acid-rich derivative. It has the same substance and advantages as gelatin.
Hydrolysates of gelatin and collagen are now accessible in powder form as dietary supplements. Gelatin comes in sheets and is commonly found at pastry supply stores.
The fact that it is derived from animal products means it is unsuitable for vegetarians or vegans.
What are the uses of gelatin?
A total of 100,000 metric tons of gelatin are used in industries other than food, including photo filmmaking (27,000 tons), soft capsules (22,600 tons), the fabrication of capsule shells (hard capsules), pharmaceuticals (12,000 tons), and technology (6,000 tons).
A total of 154,000 metric tons of gelatin are still used in the food business, with 68,000 tons going to the confectionery industry and 36,000 tons going to jelly goods.
Amounting 16,000 tons of gelatin is used in the meat and dairy sectors, low-fat products (such as margarine), and food supplements.
As a thickening agent, agglomeration agent, elasticizer, emulsifiers, stabilizers, foaming agents, preventing syneresis, water binders consistency enhancer, thin coatings, preservatives, and others.
Products such as sausages, corned beef, and ham can benefit from increased water holding capacity, consistency, texture, and stability.
In yogurt, ice cream, sour milk, and cheese, it is helpful to improve texture, consistency, product stability and prevent syneresis. Among its many uses in baked goods are as an adhesive, filler, and various means of preserving the moisture and texture of the final product.
Gelatin is also used t so preserve the fruit’s freshness and durability by coating the fruit pores (to prevent dryness and damage by germs).
Gelatin is used to wrap pills or capsules in micro-capsules containing vitamins, minerals, and premixes to extend their shelf life.
Cosmetics. Shampoos, toners, skin defenders (lotion/emulsion cream), soaps (particularly liquid ones), lipsticks, nail polishes, shaving foam, and sun creams are among the many products that employ it to keep the emulsion stable.
Infusions, nutritious beverages, diet items, and more may benefit from gelatin sol. Like other gelatins, chocolate gelatin may be used to control how firm or soft the product is to eat, how hard or soft it is to bite into, or how sticky or soft it is to chew on.
To be clear, gelatin may be substituted by other substances in processed foods, so the goods listed here don’t necessarily guarantee they include gelatin; they will just probably contain gelatin.
What are the types of gelatin?
Type A and type B gelatin are the two types of commercial gelatin available on the market. In this category, acid and alkaline soaking processes are considered. In the case of gelatin, acid immersion yields type A, whereas alkaline immersion yields type B.
The isoelectric point (protein deposition point) of type A gelatin is often higher than the isoelectric point (protein deposition point) of type B gelatin (4.8 – 5.0).
Cow skins and beef bones are the primary sources of type B gelatin. Fish gelatin, on the other hand, is type A gelatin. Making gelatin from the bone is possible using a more straightforward acid process that alters the isoelectric pH between 5.5 and 6.0.
In terms of cost, the alkaline process is favored over the acid method. As a result, immersion time in the acid process (3-4 weeks) is less than immersion time in the alkaline process (about three months).
The substance is neutralized, then removed and concentrated after it has been submerged (evaporation). Materials that have been concentrated are dried and then ground or crushed until they are smaller or meet specific standards.
What is in the gelatin?

Disney's The Lion King Jr.
Disney's Jungle Book Kids
These workshops will be limited in size to be able to adhere to social distancing guidelines. all participants will be required wear face coverings for rehearsals. The location and status of the final performances will be re-evaluated at a later date due to the ever changing Covid-19 Guidelines. Indoor, outdoor, and virtual options exist and will be decided on in late February. Therefore we have decided to gear our workshops toward learning more about the fundamentals of the craft of theatre more than the process of rehearsing a show. That way no matter what the status of the final performance is, the workshop will be a fulfilling experience for all participants. All registrations are non-refundable unless the program is completely cancelled. Rehearsals will take place at our rehearsal studio at 75 Stark Street in Plains.

Like a pebble that falls into the sea and becomes a tsunami Michael Early as Derick is caught up in one incident in Los Vegas that grabs him and won’t let go.
Similar to Michael Douglas in Fatal Attraction who is pulled into a whirlwind by Glenn Close after a one night stand. Here, Hilary Swank as Detective Valerie Quinlan cannot bring the attracting power that Close did. Michael Ealy is Derrick the man in the middle of a swirling series of deaths, threats and disloyalty.
Derrick is a very successful athletic player manager, he lives on Mulhallan Drive the scenic wealthy location that looks down on the city of Los Angeles and he is married to a successful woman played with an edge by Damaris Lewis. He has been dedicated to his work since escaping trouble as a teen and is now trusted by pro-athletes who sign with him for a percent of their salary which is very lucrative.
Derick drives a handmade sports car, lives well and loves his wife, but finds her more stand offish than before. His partner played by Mike Colter who wants to sell the business suggests he should take a day and go to a bachelor party in Las Vegas where he meets Valerie and spends the night with her. At the same time we meet cousin Tyrin played by Tyrin Turner who has remained in the gangs of his youth and is supported by Derick. The two are always loyal to each other.
Back in LA one evening Derick’s home in invaded which leads Detective Valerie Quinlan to visit him and they both quietly remember the night in Vegas. Valerie is in a fight for custody of her daughter with a prominent city elected official who she hates. She is obsessed by that situation.
All the characters are thrown into a mix as the story leads to unfaithfulness, murder, murder, and murder. Derick is at the center and the connector to all the dead people.
The heart of the film is carried by the knowledge, and cunning of Valerie who would like to rid herself of her former husband by pulling Derrick into her trap. Could this be like Strangers on a Train?
The twists and turns are obvious at times but come at surprising points during the story. When they occur they are powerful and embellished by a fine musical score by Geoff Zanelli.
Derick’s one indiscretion multiples into a tsunami of death all around him which keeps our attention as we wonder will he survive that one affair.

GDP growth was creditless, moneyless, as well as cashless, in December quarter
- Govt serious in bringing fugitive economic offenders to task: Rajnath Singh
- Sushma Swaraj arrives in China for talks with Wang Yi, SCO meet
- Make the best of technology to deal with administrative delays: Modi tells bureaucrats
- Amit Shah says ordinance shows Modi govt’s commitment to women’s safety
- Sanskrit most suitable for machine learning, AI: Ram Nath Kovind
Economic growth during the December 2016 quarter hasn’t been backed by growth in bank credit. While gross bank credit increased by 3.3% year-on-year as at end-December 2016, the year-on-year growth in nominal gross value added (GVA) during the quarter was much higher, at 10.1%. The lack of bank lending doesn’t seem to have dampened growth, if the Central Statistics Office’s numbers are correct.
Even more interestingly, bank loans outstanding to industry showed a year-on-year contraction of 4.3% at the end of December 2016, yet industrial growth (including the construction sector) was up 9.5% in nominal terms for the quarter. Industry seems to have no difficulty growing even when bank credit to it is coming down. In short, economic growth in India during the December quarter seems to have become creditless growth. Chart 1 has the details.
Economists have said that the demonetisation of high-value currency notes has been a monetary shock to the economy. The effect on money supply (M3) has certainly been dire. M3 includes both currency with the public as well as demand and time deposits with banks. M3 growth (year-on-year) almost halved from 12.1% at the end of September 2016 to a mere 6.5% by the end of December, according to Reserve Bank of India numbers.
But that doesn’t seem to have imparted a similar shock to nominal GDP (gross domestic product) growth, which came down modestly from 11.8% in the September quarter to 10.6% in the December 2016 quarter. Chart 2 shows that growth in nominal GDP during the December quarter was totally out of sync with growth in the money supply. The data suggests that growth during the December quarter was not just creditless but also moneyless. And, of course, it was cashless as well.

On her four-week placement with Tearfund Go in Cambodia, Kate Millar saw the power of loving people for the long run.
‘You can count the seeds inside an apple, but only God knows how many apples will grow from one seed.’
I sat there, listening to the sermon on our very first morning in Cambodia, exhausted from the journey and apprehensive about the month ahead. I felt so unequipped and out of my comfort zone, unsure of what was to come.
But as the words of the sermon were spoken, for a moment my worried thoughts and frantic prayers faded to the back of my mind. It was like God was saying to me, ‘See what I am doing here in Cambodia. I am planting seeds, and I know what fruit will come from them. You may not see it immediately, but trust that I know what I will make grow.’ This was the beginning of one of the biggest lessons God taught me during my time in Cambodia.
The power of youth
On my four-week placement with Tearfund Go I lived and worked alongside The Cambodian Hope Organisation (CHO). CHO, one of Tearfund’s partner organisations in Cambodia, is based in Poipet, a city on the border with Thailand. Poverty is everywhere, and human trafficking is a huge problem.
When I had the chance to talk to Mr. Chomno, the founder and director of CHO, I couldn’t help but catch his excitement for the vision God has given him. He would beam with joy when speaking about CHO’s school projects: Safe Haven School and School on a Mat. ‘Children are the future of Cambodia,’ he would say passionately.
CHO’s mission began with a call from God to rescue children who had been trafficked. Through God’s provision, they set up a safe house where the rescued children could be supported, protected and rehabilitated. This place was named Safe Haven, and, before their eyes, God began to bring transformation to the lives of the children.
A new approach
There came a point when Mr. Chomno felt a nudge from God to do something different. The safe house was changing the lives of individual children, but its impact was limited. It was too expensive to sustain long-term and didn’t deal with the root causes of trafficking in Cambodia.
Mr Chomno saw that if the whole of Cambodia was to be transformed, then the roots of the problem needed to be dealt with. This was when CHO’s mission changed from short-term rescue to long-term prevention.
So how do they do this? CHO seeks to tackle the root cause of trafficking, which is poverty. When people are in poverty, their need creates desperation. In the hope of money and a better life, this desperation can lead to people unknowingly allowing their children to be trafficked.
CHO’s projects focus on anti-trafficking education and providing skills that empower families to generate their own income. These projects exist to help the people of Cambodia lift themselves out of poverty, addressing the heart of the problem.
In Cambodia, I learnt that we won’t always see immediate change from our actions. Poverty isn’t something that can be ‘quick-fixed’. Instead we need to faithfully invest in loving people. At CHO, their projects invest in people's lives, showing love in practical ways.
For the month I was in Poipet, God showed me people who are devoted and faithful, investing in their communities, striving to bring sustainable change from the roots upwards and praying as they do it. When I was with CHO, I was blessed to be able to take part in their work and see the value of being part of such a long-term vision.
Now, back home in Scotland, I want to bring this God-centred, long-term vision into my life here. How can I do that? I can make changes to live more sustainably. I can invest in friendships in an intentional way. In its simplest form, it’s about being patient and steadfast and loving people for the long-run. It’s about taking the seeds God has given me and nurturing them so that he can bring fruit.
- Pray that CHO will continue to see God bringing fruit from their work as they break the chains of trafficking.
- Pray for strength, wisdom and learning for our current Tearfund Go volunteers serving alongside partners.
Want to join our partners in their long-term mission to see an end to poverty? Travel with Tearfund Go.

Microsoft has officially confirmed that devices built around Intel's Clover Trail Atom processors will not be receiving the Windows 10 Creators Update nor any future feature update for Windows 10, though security updates will be made available until January 2023.
When Microsoft announced Windows 10 - skipping Windows 9 - the company positioned it as the last version of Windows anyone would ever need, offering users of older Windows releases to upgrade to the new version for free and promising continued updates as it shifted its model away from regular paid releases to continuous free updates. This 'Windows as a Service' model only really works if no uses are left behind, but earlier this week Acer confirmed that the Windows 10 Creators Update was incompatible with Clover Trail systems, either installing with graphical glitches or simply failing to install at all.
At the time, Acer suggested there might be hope by blaming buggy graphics drivers and claiming to be working with Microsoft to 'help provide compatible drivers to address this incompatibility.' Microsoft, though, has finally broken its silence on the matter to dash such hopes: Windows 10 Creators Update, and all future releases of Windows 10, will not be compatible with any Clover Trail Atom systems.
'With Windows 10, we introduced Windows as a Service, a model for continuous value delivery via twice annual feature updates and monthly quality updates. Along with this updated delivery cadence, we adjusted our support lifecycle policies to reflect the Windows as a Service model. Recognising that a combination of hardware, driver and firmware support is required to have a good Windows 10 experience, we updated our support lifecycle policy to align with the hardware support period for a given device,' Microsoft has explained in a statement to press. 'If a hardware partner stops supporting a given device or one of its key components and stops providing driver updates, firmware updates, or fixes, it may mean that device will not be able to properly run a future Windows 10 feature update.
'This is the case with devices utilising Intel Clover Trail Atom processors today: they require additional hardware support to provide the best possible experience when updating to the latest Windows 10 feature update, the Windows 10 Creators Update. However, these systems are no longer supported by Intel (End of Interactive Support), and without the necessary driver support, they may be incapable of moving to the Windows 10 Creators Update without a potential performance impact. We know issues like this exist and we actively work to identify the best support path for older hardware. As part of our commitment to customers, we will be offering the Windows 10 Anniversary Update to these Intel Clover Trail devices on Windows 10, which we know provides a good user experience. To keep our customers secure, we will provide security updates to these specific devices running the Windows 10 Anniversary Update until January of 2023, which aligns with the original Windows 8.1 extended support period.'
Freezing the Windows 10 feature set at the Anniversary Update will affect anyone with devices based on Intel's Atom Z2760, Z2580, Z2560, and Z2520 processors, which were typically sold between 2013 and 2014 as Windows 8 devices before being upgraded to Windows 10 during the launch offer period.

Atenção, este blog foi migrado para: http://brunopereira.org
I said before that I don’t like query strings in RESTFul URIs. You cannot cache the results in the web server and in many cases they lead to a poor design of your URIs.
However, there are cases where query strings are useful and make sense. In the project I’m working right now, we have an asynchronous queue which several server instances consume periodically. This queue has events that must be processed, and each event belongs to a given user. Each user may have several events in the queue.
We have this queue of events that must be processed and we register them in another list when they are successfully processed. When an event is processed, he goes to the “processed” list if everything goes right or he stays in the queue if something gone wrong. In the queue we register how many times we tried to process each event.
In my team we have an application that helps us manage our infrastructure. This application does many things that we previously needed to ask to the operations team or DB team. Something very desirable is to be able to check how the queue is going without needing to check server logs or the database. So we’re adding some features in the management application to help us check the queue.
Ok, now let’s talk about the RESTful services. We’ve implemented some services that access the queue. One the of services allows us to check how many events are still in the queue with at least N tries. For example, how many events are pending with at least 1 try?
What’s the Resource here? In my opinion the resource is “Pending event”. Considering this, I would access this resource doing GET /event/pending. Ok, but doing GET /event/pending would probably give us the whole list of pending events. I want pending events with at least 1 try. How can we do that? We could do a GET /event/pending/1, and it would work. However, this URI is bad, very bad. If I didn’t know what this service was about, I’d probably say this URI returns the first pending event according to some order. Probably it would be the oldest or newest one.
So how do we form this URI? We could also have a GET /event/pending/tries/1. This would indeed be much better than the first URI, but I don’t like it either. My resource is “Pending event”. Pending events with at least 1 try are still just pending events for me. What I want is just to filter the pending events. So, I ended up using GET /event/pending?t=1. “t” in this query string stands for “tries”. I could also have used GET /event/pending?tries=1. As a matter of fact, I think supporting both is nice. It would be similar to command line options in Unix applications.
Now, let’s say I want to know the pending events of a given user. Looking at the previous URI, You might say GET /event/pending?u=123 or GET /event/pending?user=123. But in this case, I wouldn’t use query strings. The best URI in my opinion is /event/pending/user, and that would lead to GET /event/pending/user/123. What’s the difference here? I consider the “User” as a meaningful thing. It’s another resource. However, “number of tries” for me is just a filter. I don’t need to know anything about a specific try, so it’s just a filter in this case. Another similiar filter would be “Pending events created before today”. We could have another query string parameter to filter events by creation date. Something like GET /event/pending?c=03/04/2008 or GET /event/pending?creation=03/04/2008.
So, I changed my mind a little bit about query strings. They are indeed useful in some cases, such as this example. They are good to filter results. Filter by something that it’s not a resource. To decide our URIs we must always think of what’s really a resource in our application, and what’s just a filter. Such as in the world wide web, URIs identify Resources. After deciding what’s a resource and what’s just a filter, we can design our URIs much better. Meaningful URIs are among the most important things in RESTFul web services.

Ban ships from using heavy fuel oil in Polar waters, environmental group urges, By James Brewer
A marine transport emergency in the northerly Atlantic has highlighted the difficulty of responding to potential shipping casualties in Arctic waters, the campaign group Pacific Environment has warned.
The group said the incident added weight to its concerns that what it sees as the most pressing issue, the danger of heavy fuel oil spills, is ignored by the Polar Code that looks set to be approved by the International Maritime Organization on November 17 2014.
Campaigners point to the latest mishap in northerly waters: an unmanned barge carrying 950 gallons of diesel fuel broke free in a storm from its tow on October 23 off Prudhoe Bay. The barge, owned by Northern Transportation Corp of Canada, and its tug had been making for Tuktoyaktuk in the Northwest Territories.
The US Coast Guard said it was a time of year when there were limited options for response in the region, as ice developed quickly and few vessels were available to assist.
Kevin Harun, Arctic programme director for Pacific Environment, said that the problems of attending a vessel in distress despite it being close to a major industrial Arctic hub, the Prudhoe Bay oilfield, demonstrated the need for strong shipping regulation in Arctic waters.
San Francisco-based Pacific Environment said that the Arctic Council, which is chaired by Canada until May 2015 when the US will take over the leadership for two years, identified the release of oil as the “most significant threat” to the marine environment in its 2009 assessment of Arctic shipping.
The draft Polar Code aims to cover design, construction, equipment, operations, training, search and rescue and environmental protection relevant to ships operating in waters surrounding the poles.
Pacific Environment has pressed for distillate fuels to be made mandatory for Arctic ship transits. It says that in the event of a spill, lighter fuels would dissipate more quickly than heavy oils, and cause less harm to the environment and the people who depend on marine resources for food. It says that there is precedent for banning heavy fuel oil in sensitive waters including areas near the Antarctic.
The environmental group says that among its missions is to encourage the protection of Arctic ecosystems “from the harmful impacts of increased, unregulated shipping in the face of disappearing sea ice.”
Mr Harun said that while his organisation was encouraged by several provisions in the Polar Code, “we are concerned that the risks posed by a spill of heavy fuel oil remain unaddressed.” The barge incident in the Beaufort Sea alarmingly raised the question of how nations would be able to deal with a large ship that went out of control in more remote waters.
Before taking up his current post, Mr Harun was executive director of the Alaska Center for the Environment. He has observer status at the IMO and is one of the few participants representing conservation and Arctic community interests.
Pacific Environment says of its role: “We mentor, train, campaign, build networks, and provide direct financial support to activist leaders and non-governmental organisations to help them protect their communities from environmental and health threats and hold international governments, corporations, and financing institutions accountable for their policies and actions.”
It says that in the Arctic and Alaska “Pacific Environment works with indigenous communities to protect the region from the environmental impacts of offshore oil and gas extraction, increased and under-regulated shipping, and short term climate forcers such as black carbon emissions.”
In an article for Nunatsiaq News Online, Paul Crowley, director of the World Wildlife Fund’s Canadian Arctic Program for Northern Communities and Economies, backed the call for prohibiting heavy fuel oil in the region, and said there should be among other safeguards limits to underwater noise from ships, which could affect the habitat and ability of marine mammals to forage and breed.
The International Chamber of Shipping has said that there is a high level of awareness about the special degree of care required when ships navigate Arctic waters. “But whilst fully recognising the need to provide the highest levels of environmental protection, ICS has sought to ensure that the approach taken by IMO is not fundamentally different to that applied to any other sea area in which special dangers might apply (sea conditions in the North Atlantic, for example, entail parallel levels of operational risk).”

Exhaust gas temperature sensor
Modern exhaust after treatment systems require control in regard to efficiency and component protection. The exhaust temperature sensor serves as a temperature monitor for turbochargers, catalytic converters, diesel particle filters and nitrogen oxide reduction systems. It is used for monitoring the optimal operating point as well as for potential protection of temperature overload of the relevant components, thus making it an important component for the reduction of unnecessary harmful emissions from vehicles.
The newest generation uses a thermistor element in the tip of the sensor. The thinner structure of newest sensors guarantees shorter response time than previous generations and other technologies on the market. Furthermore, the temperature range is wider than ever before.
NTK’s 4th generation exhaust gas temperature sensors are able to measure temperatures from -40°C up to 900°C.The sensor’s small size ensures low weight and the powder-filled element support guarantees high vibration resistance.
The element is protected by a metal tube – this gives protection against melting.
The Exhaust gas temperature sensors by NTK have a specific design in order to meet the extremely high temperature environment in which the product is working. To fit into the tight layout, NTK has designed a bending design line-up. Due to this design, the components with low heat resistance are kept away from the heat source. Acceptable angle of a bending type sensor is 0 to 110 °.

Q: I purchased a new 2012 Nissan Altima 2.5 last spring and everything seemed normal until fall (approximately 5,000 km). At temperatures below freezing the engine has a loud knocking/rattling noise (under load) for about 5 to 10 minutes and accelerating at rpm from approximately 1,200 to 2,000 rpm.
The noise will diminish very slowly, after normal operating temperature and the CVT shifts to reduce RPM but returns quicker at -20 or more degrees. Synthetic oil was used in December but with little difference. When the vehicle is plugged in the noise is almost gone.
Other owners of 2.5s I talked to do not seem to have these noises. The dealer says it is "normal characteristic of the 2.5 engine," but does not or will not give a good answer as to what is knocking. I do not agree. Any ideas are greatly appreciated.
A: The engine noise you are describing is a classic description of piston slap.
The knocking sound is caused by the piston skirt hitting against the side of the cylinder.
Before you panic and see dollar signs floating in the air, this sound is often heard in modern engines.
Back in the 1960s through 1980s, piston slap or knock was a sign of worn cylinders or cracked piston skirts.
The excess clearance between the piston skirt and the cylinder wall would allow the piston to bang against the cylinder wall every time the cylinder fired.
Starting in the early 90’s, reducing engine friction became a goal of many auto companies so that fuel economy could be improved.
One of the ways of reducing friction was to reduce the area of the piston sliding against the cylinder. Instead of long, full skirts on pistons to guide their movement up and down, the pistons now had short, narrow skirts.
One of the drawbacks however was that the piston could rock in the cylinder easier and knock against the cylinder wall.
Engine piston knock will always be loudest when the engine is cold and under load.
As the engine warms up, the piston expands, reducing the clearance between the cylinder and piston skirt.
Higher engine load places more force on the piston skirt to create a louder knock.
Usually the knock will disappear after the engine has been running for a couple minutes and the piston has expanded, however, some may knock for up to five minutes.
If the knock is present when the engine is warm, then there is excessive piston clearance or a damaged piston.
Piston replacement is required. If there is no knock after the engine warms up, it should be fine.
Drive with a light load until the engine is warm, which is recommended for all engines.
Q: I drive a 1998 Chevrolet pickup with a 350 V8 engine. I over filled my automatic transmission by approximately 1/2 litre. Will this cause problems?
A: The oil level inside the transmission is now high enough that rotating parts can touch the oil. This beats it up causing it to foam.
The foam can’t go through the pump properly so erratic shifting, slipping clutches, and a lack of transmission lubrication can occur.
I would lower the oil level.
There is no drain plug on the transmission oil pan so some shops remove the pan to drain oil, but it is possible to suck oil out of the dipstick tube with a pump.
I have seen them for sale in automotive parts retailers and departments stores.
Another relatively easy way to lower the oil level is to remove one of the cooler lines and operate the engine for a few seconds.
Catch the oil that comes out so you know when you have enough out.
Don't operate the engine for more than a minute, because the cooler lines are the supply for the lubrication circuits inside the transmission.

After about 8 PV water injections, the cumulative oil recovery was not more than 40.5% OOIP, while the water cut of the effluent was close to 100%, indicating the exhausted water flooding method.
C[O.sub.2] = OOIP x RF_O x FVF_O x pC[O.sub.2], (4)
OOIP outside the reserves area is 2.7 billion barrels compared to 5.1 billion barrels in 2011.
For oil reservoirs, the original oil-in place (OOIP) volumetric calculation is as follows.
In addition, cold heavy oil production (CHOP) techniques can recover about 10-20% original oil in place (OOIP), which implies that after cold production, there is still 80-95% oil to recover at an economic level (Miller, et al., 2002).
The reservoir thickness and radius were 300 feet and 2,500 feet respectively, the reservoir temperature was 120[degrees]F and the original oil in place (OOIP) was 500 million stock tank barrels (MMSTB).
The partners are enhancing safety and reducing the project's costs by using an owner controlled insurance program (OOIP), which is centrally procured insurance.
The company estimates the 1900-acre addition contains approximately 24 million barrels of oil in place (OOIP), only 10% of which is estimated to have been produced to date.
Kolodzie, "Analysis of Pore Throat Size and Use of the Waxman-Smits Equation to Determine OOIP in Spindle Field Colorado," in Proceedings of the SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition, Society of Petroleum Engineers, 1980.
After LSWI, 48% of the OOIP (Original Oil in Place) remained in the reservoir due to unfavorable oil mobility.

"Love is colorblind"
By M.G. Wells
I believe..
I believe in the happiness of people,
the someone who is loyal,
the person to whose shoulder you cry on,
the person who has always been there for you,
the receiving back from heart to heart,
advice,love, honesty, commitment
But I don’t believe in hate.
I believe in having a good time together,
I believe in trust issues,
I believe in loving each other without doubt,
hugs, kisses, holding hands,
And I believe in never giving up on someone because you wouldn’t want them to give up on you.
My Credo Essay
Love is color blind, M.G. Wells. This means that someone you truly love is standing right in front of you and you don’t even notice it. People go on with their day without noticing how much people love or care about them. You don’t have to be the same race to be in love with someone.
I got this credo off of the website. I’ve heard it around before but really didn’t know what it meant until now. I did not create this by myself or create it at all. I don’t see much people use “Love is colorblind,” a lot.
This credo is important to me because it has so much meaning to it. Like I’ve said in my introduction people go on with their life without even noticing the people in front of them loving and caring about them. Some people will never see in front of their eyes. That’s when they need a reality check.
Yes, I do think my credo with change when I get older. Mine has changed a lot because I’ve seen people who care or love about me that I didn’t ever think they would. I finally realized that. This will help my future by showing me how people are nowadays, some people just don’t care about anything and some people do.
A bunch of people probably had this credo. It is a good saying and some people should stick with it. It changes a lot after you see what’s in front of you. Love is not really colorblind but you need to see what is it front of you before you hurt someone who loves and cares about you.
