Enjoy Free Slots Games to Improve Your Slots Skills
With all the recent technological advances in casino games, free play mahjong online slot machines are also attracting the attention of players everywhere. Today casinos with no cost slots are offered across more than 20 nations. Casino free slots have evolved from simple slots into a completely different experience due to technological advancements over the last few years.
Traditional games of casino in casinos on land have always used mechanical reels to indicate whether a hit has occurred. Slots, on the other hand, make use of electronic machines to indicate whether a hit has occurred. This is why you can easily see the distinction between making a real payment for a spin and playing for free. When you pay for spins, it is crucial to have a payment identification (PIN) to provide to the casino security team so they can guarantee that your funds are only used for a real casino games. With online casino slots you do not have to provide this vital information and are free to play for as long as you want without having to worry about paying excessive amounts of money.
Casino slots online have made it simpler for players to experience the online casino slot experience. Although many land-based casinos provide paylines and payback mechanisms, online slots have surpassed the latter in terms of ease of use and convenience. The primary difference between them is that you are not required to stand in queue or wait for someone to take your winnings. Online casino slots allow players to play at their own home. This means you don’t have to fret about standing in line, dealing with complicated cashier work carts, or dealing directly with credit card sales representatives.
Another benefit you enjoy from playing free slots is that there are no irritating dial lines, which are a common problem for land-based slot machines. You must dial the number you wish to pay and then wait for it to be answered. It’s a hassle and takes the time of others.
Online slot games let you set the odds and the machine will take all the work. All you have to do is press symbols on the reels (or the symbols close to the reels) until you hear the chime that indicates that you have hit. If you hit certain symbols the beam shoots from the top of the machine, and it splashes the symbols on the reels. Some machines provide video poker, while others have fruit symbols.
When the jackpot prize is won, fruit symbols are given. They are available in random colors and shapes. They are given after every winning combination. You can set the odds of specific fruit symbols and the machine will select the winning combination. This feature allows players to win real wild slot machines wins. You do not have to guess what symbols you should press.
You can also use your mouse or keyboard to trigger icons and to communicate with the machine. It makes online slot machines more realistic than other games at casinos. For e GT, for example you can click on the driving mode icons to increase the speed of your vehicle. You can use your mouse to activate other icons such as the jump symbols that will assist you in reaching the next level.
To win at online slot games, you need to know how the machines work. Guides can help you learn more about the game and offer you the opportunity solitario spider online gratis to play free games to get better. Through practice and experience you will be able to win more often and eventually improve your slot playing skills.

- Published : 2016.08.28
This study was conducted to look at the antimicrobial synergistic effect of blended oil into the target skin flora. The essential oils used in antimicrobial test were 100% eucalyptus (EU), lemon (LE), lavender (LA) and four blended oils, EU+LE, LE+LA, EU+LA, and, EU+LE+LA in ratio of 1:1 and 1:1:1 respectively. As a result, LE showed the highest, LA showed the lowest antimicrobial activity among single oil group. In blended oil group, antimicrobial activity of the EU + LA showed significantly increasing effect than the sum of the antimicrobial activity of the single oil. However, the antimicrobial effects of the blend of three oils did not show any synergistic effect. This result showed that the interaction between the chemical components constituting the oil than the number of blended oil seems more significant on the synergistic effect. Therefore, blending essential oil based on scientific evidence becomes more necessary in the future.

EMTest Test Set for the Measurement of Automotive Transient Emissions as per ISO 7637
The measurement of automotive transient emissions as per ISO 7637-2 requires an electronic switch, a mechancical switch and an artificial network. The electronic switch generates slow transients while the mechanical switch, a typical relay used in the vehicle, generates the fast transients. The artifical network represents the typical impedance of the wiring harness. The AN 200N100 is designed to meet the requirements of ISO 7637-2, CISPR 25 / ISO 11452-4 and CISPR 16-1-2 and can be switched accordingly.
The EM TEST Transient Emission Set consisting of the BS 200N100 electronic switch, the artificial network AN 200N100 and the BSM 200N40 mechanical switch is an easy-to-use, economic and compact solution, fully compliant to ISO 7637-2.
Small size of the equipment and short interconnections allow to meet the distances specified by the standard.
An optional resistor box RS-Box with shunt resistor is available for transient emission measurements as per
ISO 7637-2:2004 and ISO 7637-2:2011.
The RS-Box offers the required 40ohm shunt resistor and other demanding shunt resistors values of e.g. 10ohm, 20ohm and 120ohm.
CA BS 200N
Calibration load 0.6ohm and 50uH for the verification
of the electronic switch characteristic
Shunt resistor box with Rs = 10ohm,
20ohm, 40ohm and 120ohm
Multi-Purpose AN 200N100 Three-in-one artificial network
The AN 200N100 is the multi-purpose artificial network designed to cover four different test requirements. The various configurations are selected by two switches. One switch is used to configure the AN 200N100 mains input (no capacitor as per ISO 7637-2, 1uF capacitor accross the mains input as per CISPR 25 and ISO 11452-4 or 2uF capacitors in series with a 1ohm resistor as per
CISPR 16-1-2). A second switch is used to switch in the internal 50ohm termination resistor as required.
The AN 200N100 is fully adapted to the various test requirements and shows the typical impedance characteristics according to the different standards.

Crate Seats were all the BUZZ this past summer!
What a clever idea to turn milk crates into functional seats.
These were created for classroom use but are FABULOUS for kids rooms at home, playroom, etc.
Kids of all ages love these! Not to mention the extra storage they provide :)
It was actually a parent volunteer who created these for me and was brilliant to turn this craftivity into a family project.
If you come by my blog you can check out pictures of the crates they made for my classroom and for their OWN rooms at home!
There are also links to "how-to" tutorials for you!
If you make these I'd love for you to post pictures of how they turned out!
And I didn't even have to make them myself :)

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Federal regulators have scheduled a meeting to discuss a radioactive water leak that led to the shutdown of a South Carolina nuclear reactor, officials said Thursday.
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission is to meet in Atlanta on July 31 to discuss the incident at the Oconee Nuclear Station. The session is open to the public, and NRC representatives will be on hand afterward for individual conversations.
In November, officials shut down a reactor at the Duke Energy-run facility near Seneca, about 30 miles west of Greenville. The shutdown came after engineers detected flaws in the airtight, steel-lined concrete containment building designed to prevent any radiation from leaking into the air or ground.
Officials said there was no threat to employees or the public, and the crack was quickly repaired. But NRC said in a release issued Thursday that officials found flaws with Oconee's method to check for such cracks.
Oconee Nuclear Station has three reactors, and one of them was already offline for refueling before the shutdown of Unit 1. As of Thursday, all three reactors were listed as fully operational.
Several weeks before the November incident, Oconee's Unit 3 was shut down when engineers discovered a faulty control valve was causing changes in the flow of water in a different system that generates steam to turn the turbines and create power. That reactor started generating power again three days later and was quickly fully operational.

Alumnus, Oceans and Coasts
Having spent most of my childhood in the coastal state of Goa, I have always had a certain fascination for the sea, and the marine environment in general.
To further my interests, I proceeded to complete a Bachelor’s in Zoology from St. Xavier’s college, Mumbai, followed by a master’s through the ISATEC (International Studies in Tropical Aquatic Ecology) program, conducted by the University Of Bremen, and the Centre of Tropical Marine Ecology (ZMT), Bremen, Germany.
My previous work experience extends to a study based on the Movement Ecology of the harvested mangrove crab Ucides cordatus cordatus in the Caeté estuary, North Brazil and a project based on the analysis of Cetacean populations along the coast of Goa, India.
My doctoral thesis explores the relationship between fishers and the Irrawaddy dolphin (Orcaella brevirostris) at Chilika lagoon, Orissa, India. On the one hand this work explores the unique cooperative fishing that mutually benefits fishers and the dolphins. On the other, my thesis explores the cultural and economic underpinnings of the growing dolphin-centric ecotourism that is increasingly being seen as an alternative to fishing in these marginal communities.
- Journal Article2014Positive interactions between Irrawaddy dolphins and artisanal fishers in the Chilika Lagoon of eastern India are driven by ecology, socio-economics and cultureAmbio
In human-dominated landscapes, interactions and perceptions towards wildlife are influenced by multi- dimensional drivers. Understanding these drivers could prove useful for wildlife conservation. We surveyed the attitudes and perceptions of fishers towards threatened Irrawaddy dolphins (Orcaella brevirostris) at Chilika Lagoon India. To validate the drivers of fisher perceptions, we : (1) observed dolphin foraging behavior at stake nets, and (2) compared catch per unit effort (CPUE) and catch income of fishers from stake nets in the presence and absence of foraging dolphins. We found that fishers were mostly positive towards dolphins, believing that dolphins augmented their fish catch and using culture to express their perceptions. Foraging dolphins were observed spending half their time at stake nets and were associated with significantly higher catch income and CPUE of mullet (Liza sp.), a locally preferred food fish species. Wildlife conservation efforts should use the multidimensional drivers of human–wildlife interactions to involve local stakeholders in management.

Do you need the spotlight?
When we make a positive contribution we usually want to get recognition for it. We might not always say it in words but there is always an expectation that others should recognize our contribution.
We need to make sure that we enjoy whatever we do.
Since the task itself becomes enjoyable for us, we don't anymore expect recognition. The more we become free from expectations we get the love from others and recognition too.
I had a great productive day at work today, and the results were satisfaction enough.

Since a couple of months, a project grabs all of my attention. That’s Storj.io.
If you never heard about it yet, Storj presents itself as a decentralized and encrypted cloud storage system based on blockchain technologies. The press, always optimistic, even names it the Airbnb of cloud storage.
What is it, really? Storj is a network built on top of the equally named protocol, which aims to share extra disk space of individuals all around the world in order to provide a cloud storage system, cheaper and more resilient than Amazon S3 or Google Cloud Storage.
Of course, in exchange of its extra disk space shared accross the Storj network, the user (farmer) earns a couple of bucks each month, depending on the amount of megabytes stored on its disks and the amount of data downloaded and uploaded during the same period.
Each Friday is PiDay here at Adafruit! Be sure to check out our posts, tutorials and new Raspberry Pi related products. Adafruit has the largest and best selection of Raspberry Pi accessories and all the code & tutorials to get you up and running in no time!
Make a robot friend with Adafruit’s CRICKIT – A Creative Robotics & Interactive Construction Kit. It’s an add-on to our popular Circuit Playground Express, FEATHER and other platforms to make and program robots with CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. Start controlling motors, servos, solenoids. You also get signal pins, capacitive touch sensors, a NeoPixel driver and amplified speaker output. It complements & extends your boards so you can still use all the goodies on the microcontroller, now you have a robotics playground as well.

For the first time ever, it's now possible for musicians to find success without a record label. With the Internet, musicians can record, distribute, market, and sell their music for a lot less than most rock stars spend on average. Unfortunately, most musicians don't know where to begin. In The Indie Band Survival Guide, musicians and web gurus Randy Chertkow and Jason Feehan cover every step of the process. With nothing but talent and the Web, they've gotten tens of thousands of fans for their band, in addition to being hired to write music for film, television, theater, and other media, and hope to pass on the guidelines and tips they’ve acquired in the process.
“The Internet is an extraordinary opportunity for musicians to make and profit from their music. This clearly written and comprehensive book shows exactly how. A perfect balance between the mess of the law and the promise of the technology, it should be read by anyone who wants to take their talent and share it—for the love of sharing, or for the profit.”—Lawrence Lessig, author of Code, professor at Stanford Law School, founder of the Center for the Internet and Society, and CEO of the Creative Commons project
“Finally! A comprehensive and practical guide for musicians that explains how to navigate today's music world without a label.”—Derek Sivers, founder of CD Baby and HostBaby
“If they gave out Grammys for music career books, Randy and Jason should surely win one. Their Indie Band Survival Guide is a must-read resource for any musician wanting to take the independent path to success—which, these days, is the only way to go. Networking, branding, Internet promotion, live gigs, distribution, publicity... they cover it all.”—Bob Baker, author of Guerrilla Music Marketing Handbook and founder of TheBuzzFactor.com
“A fabulous & comprehensive 101 guide for any musician trying to make it in the crazy 'new' Music Business.”—Ariel Hyatt, founder of Ariel Publicity & Cyber PR
“A practical, down-to-earth guide for bands working in the real world.”—Brian Austin Whitney, founder of the Just Plain Folks musician network
“In this indispensable guide for indie musicians, Chertkow and Feehan, lead members of the Chicago band Beatnik Turtle, explain how they have managed successfully to get their music out to the public, to produce four albums, to build a huge following and to write music for television shows and theater without the benefit of a record label. Covering topics such as building a brand, networking, Web site, getting booked, playing live and getting publicized, Chertkow and Feehan pass along advice that, while sometimes self-evident, encourages bands to exploit the Internet and to become Web savvy to make a name for themselves. For example, in illustrative detail they spell out clearly the terms of contracts such as nonexclusive that can often be so fuzzy. In their section on getting booked, they remind bands that the essence of a good show is remembering that the band is there for the audience, and the authors explain step-by-step the ups and downs of dealing with bookers, scheduling and booking kits. Because this lively book offers such essential guidance in these changing times, no band should be without a copy.”—Publishers Weekly

List of Moldova's border crossing points to be completed with Leova-Bumbata for vehicles
18:59 | 05.10.2022 Category: Official
Chisinau, 5 October /MOLDPRES/ - The cabinet of ministers has approved the completion of the list of the state border crossing points with Leova-Bumbata for vehicles, the government’s communication and protocol department has reported.
This need is dictated by the signing, on 22 August 2022, of an agreement between the Moldovan and Romanian governments, by exchange of vernal notes, on the creation of the state border crossing point between Moldova and Romania, Leova-Bumbata, opened for the international road traffic.
The draft’s goal is to speed up and facilitate the crossing of the border by people and transport means, ease the cross-border traffic and shorten the waiting time at the other state border crossing points, which are more demanded now.

Joe Yamada / Landscape Architect
Joseph Yamada helped design many of the most well known landmarks in his hometown of San Diego. He studied landscape architecture at the University of California Berkeley, where he was guided by three legendary modernists; Thomas Church, Garrett Eckbo, and Lawrence Halprin. He graduated in 1954 and returned home to San Diego where he joined landscape architect Harriet Wimmer, San Diego's first woman landscape architect in commercial practice. A woman and a former Japanese-American internment camp prisoner would become the most sought-after landscape architects in Southern California. In 1960 they became partners and renamed the firm Wimmer Yamada & Associates, a name they kept even after Wimmer retired. For more than 50 years Yamada was instrumental in providing landscape design. Wimmer Yamada and Caughey is still in business and is the longest-running landscape architecture firm in San Diego.

In addition to a huge stack of books, I was able to take home a piece Joe made when he was at Berkeley.

In addition to wildland firefighting, Firestorm/DCR is a leader in prescribed fire, wildland fire hazard mitigation and forestry services. We have completed forestry projects on over 30,000 acres, including thinning, piling, mastication, fuelbreak construction, ecological restoration, postfire erosion control, and trail maintenance. Additionally, we have successfully implemented ecological burning on over 225,000 acres on forests and rangelands throughout the United States.
DCR uses mapping, cutting-edge wildfire analytics, and applied science to help communities and landowners prepare for wildfire, manage watersheds and wildlands, and increase the transparency of land management decision making. We use our expert knowledge of wildfire behavior and land management to develop tangible wildfire hazard mitigation projects that affect real changes on the ground.
Our pre-fire plans improve public safety and benefit the landscape by:
- Identifying places where a wildfire might trap and kill people or destroy property
- Establishing priorities for fuel reduction and habitat restoration
- Integrating wildfire management with other land management objectives
- Reducing the risk of natural resource damage from severe fire and fire suppression activities
- Improving fire suppression effectiveness, as well as firefighter safety
- Preventing infrastructure losses/property damage during wildfire incidents
We use the following tools to assess fire hazard across landscapes:
- Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
- Satellite imagery, aerial photography, and LiDAR
- Tree-ring analyses (dendrochronology)
- Ground-based fuel mapping/surveys
- Numeric wildfire behavior models
- Qualitative data via interviews with knowledgeable locals
- Application of peer-reviewed science
DCR’s wildfire mitigation experts have helped to develop wildfire pre-plans in the Lassen Foothills, Klamath Mountains, Lake Tahoe Basin, Central Coast, Klamath Mountains, and for Plumas, El Dorado, Amador, Monterey, Nevada, and Yuba Counties. Our staff developed a major hazardous fuels reduction project for Lick Observatory, on Mount Hamilton, in Santa Clara County, and also developed the Plumas County Hazardous Fuel Assessment & Strategy.
DCR has also provided professional GIS mapping services for major planning efforts including the South Lassen Watersheds Project, the Northern Sacramento Valley Integrated Regional Water Management Plan (NSV-IRWM) and Upper Feather River IRWM projects. Among other things, we have performed vegetation mapping of coastal wetlands for public agencies, developed field mapping applications for petroleum pipeline right-of-way inspectors, built map-based asset catalogs for major winery properties, and used aerial LiDAR data to conduct a timber inventory across 65,000 acres.
CWPP identifies and prioritizes fuel reduction and wildfire prevention strategies within the Olympic Valley Fire Department’s service area. The plan addresses wildfire response, hazard mitigation, community preparedness, home hardening and structure protection. The CWPP will be used to guide the District’s Fuels Management Program and will allow the Olympic Valley community to be eligible for many wildfire prevention grant funding programs. The Olympic Valley Public Service District Board approved the CWPP in November 2022.
City of Chico Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) – 2021-2022
DCR mapped wildfire hazards and modeled potential fire spread within the urban area of Chico, California. Our project data scientists developed fire behavior model inputs from aerial LiDAR point cloud data, conducted interviews and public engagement, surveyed high-risk areas by foot and bike, and presented a final report as a PDF and web story map.
LiDAR-based wildfire spread vector mapping from DCR’s City of Chico CWPP.
DCR led the project’s wildfire hazard assessment team, using LiDAR survey data, aerial photos, and extensive fieldwork to map wildland vegetation, characterize fuel loading, summarize potential fire behavior, and develop vegetation management objectives for lands owned and managed by the City of Chico. DCR developed a burn plan to increase use of prescribed fire in management of City of Chico-owned lands.
DCR provided fire behavior and prescribed burning specialists for planning and design of a 1,500-acre fuels reduction and forest health project in the Big Chico Creek Watershed, near Forest Ranch, Ca. This project is a collaboration between Butte County Fire Safe Council, CSUC’s Big Chico Creek Ecological Reserve, and several local landowners. This CEQA document

The more intricate and sensitive the equipment and situation, the higher the need is to control contamination. Ultraclean manufacturing facilities are at the top of the list. In these clean rooms, technology demands clean and uncontaminated air. Devices which measure the quality of the airborne particulates (that is particles flying around the airflow) are routinely used for particulate control. Ultraclean manufacturing facilities bring us semiconductors, advanced circuit designs, and precision industrial instrumentation. Another critical area is a hospital operating room. Contaminated particles entering an operating room while a patient is undergoing surgery can be fatal, or can cause infections. The third sensitive area is one we are all familiar with...the computer room.
The physical environment surrounding an operating or stored computer plays an important role in the long-term reliability of electronic equipment and peripherals. Computer rooms, office areas, and industrial sites present environmental conditions that may affect the operation of your computer equipment. It is our intent to provide you with an awareness of the environmental parameters associated with contamination that may need to be controlled at your facility.
There are three types of airborne contamination:
Gaseous contamination can contribute to the degradation of numerous materials in computer systems including both metallic and nonmetallic materials. Gases such as chlorine, hydrogen sulfide, sulfur dioxide, ozone, and nitrogen dioxide are some of the common contaminants that corrode electronic components and equipment, resulting in decreased system reliability.
Organic contamination refers to contamination from airborne organic compounds commonly referred to as hydrocarbons. The largest source of airborne organic contamination is the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels. In addition to combustion, oxidation of plastics, rubbers and elastomers is another source of this form of contamination.
Particulate contamination or simply "dust" is a form of contamination that is frequently overlooked in many computer facilities. Dust contamination exists in a variety of concentrations, size distribution, and compositions. The characteristics of dust are very dependent upon the dust sources. It is very common to find clothing fiber, dirt and construction materials in computer facilities.
Less common dust sources also exist. Natural events, such as volcanic eruptions and dust storms are some of the largest dust producing events possible. These events introduce a variety of different constituents into the atmosphere that usually remain airborne for considerable periods of time. In addition to natural events, specific industries may generate their own particulate contamination.
Particulate contamination can have one or more of the following characteristics:
· Abrasiveness - abrasive particulate may contribute to wear as well as fretting and fretting corrosion.
· Hygroscopic - many particulate contamination compositions have an affinity for water and readily absorb water vapor in the air. If sufficient water vapor is available, the particulate can become wet with water at temperatures above the bulk room dew point.
· Corrosive Composition - the elemental composition of a particulate contamination may be corrosive to materials within the computer system.
We will identify the common types of particulates that contaminate the environment and offer some suggestions for reducing and controlling contamination in your facility.
Synthetic Fibrous Particulate:
Common sources: Clothing
Other sources: Carpet fibers, Insulated drop in ceiling tiles
Because synthetics have a low melting point, they may create a sticky surface to which other particulates will adhere.
Metallic Particulate: Metal dust enters the data center environment from a variety of sources. Common culprits include worn air conditioning parts, new raised floors, rotor brushes in vacuum cleaner monitors and printer component wear. Another common culprit is the electrician, who might be hardwiring and leave metal debris behind. Metallic particulates conduct electricity. Because they conduct electricity, they have an increased potential for creating short circuits. They are also magnetically attracted to circuits because of the magnetic fields generated by computer equipment. This particulate usually shows up as rust.
Carbonaceous particulate: Carbon comes from automobile exhaust, tobacco smoke, printer toners and carbon paper dust. In addition to being conductive, carbon dust is also combustible.
This type of particulate can be disastrous as metallic particulates because humidity transforms the fibers into electrically conductive elements which also act as carriers of other particulates.
Fibrous Organic Particulates: These are natural based fibers such as cotton and wool. These fibers usually originate from clothing, but also from incorrect cleaning materials or packaging materials. These fibers absorb moisture and cause major problems with electronic circuits. Once a short circuit has been caused it is almost impossible to detect the cause of failure because this particulate disintegrates from the heat of the short.
Paper Dust: Paper dust and particulates can cause problems similar to the fibrous particulates. These particulates are attracted to magnetic fields.
Construction Particulates: These particulates originate from the improper sealing of the concrete subfloor, the eventual erosion of the concrete, sand, plaster, sheetrock, brick and wax. Because these particulates are so fine, they fall in

The movement of the Earth and solar system through the Milky Way creates an apparent wind that doesn’t have much of an effect on our planet.
Scientists had thought the wind’s direction would remain pretty much constant for millions of years given the vast distances of interstellar space.
But turbulence within the cloud, which is about 30 light-years across, appears to have shifted the wind’s direction by 6 degrees in only 40 years.
It’s either that, or the solar system is only about 1,000 years from punching out of the cloud, according to an international team of NASA researchers.
“Think of looking at clouds in the sky — if you are in that cloud, there's not much change,” astrophysicist Eberhard Moebius of the University of New Hampshire in Durham told New Scientist.
"But when you look at the boundary of the cloud, driven around by the wind, you can see fine structures where it's getting fuzzy and pulled around. We think that this might be related to these kinds of turbulent structures (causing the wind shift),” Moebius added.
The findings are helping scientists map our Earth’s location within the Milky Way galaxy and are increasing the understanding of humankind’s place in the cosmos.

“Nature continues to be the ultimate inspiration for my paintings"
During my career as an artist (40-some years) I have studied a little of everything, and continue to be challenged. Change is a constant happening - it leads one's creativity to expand and grow. My paintings are spontaneous. They begin as an abstract, and sometimes evolve into landscapes, seascapes, or still life, but nevertheless remain mostly abstract. My most recent paintings have been acrylics, collage, and encaustics. Working on canvas with strong colors and an uncomplicated palette has given me new freedom in composition and the use of space.
‘Art is Forever’
be exhibiting my work at Gallery One in Ellensburg, WA September 6-28,
2013, and will be giving an encaustics class September 7-8, 2013, also
at Gallery One.
Cate lives in Yakima, Washington. Her favorite subjects are dramatic
vistas, colors and lighting of the rolling hills and desert of Eastern
Washington. She has exhibited at the Allied Arts
Annual Juried Art exhibit, Central Washington Artists Exhibition,
Northwest Watercolor Society, Waterworks exhibit and Wallowa Arts
Festival. In addition she has received the Argus Insurance, Inc. Purchase Award at 56th Annual Central Washington Artist's Exhibiition as well as the Laurie, Doug Kanyer & Synapse Consulting Award at the 44th Annual Juried Art Exhibit at Allied Arts.

Machine Learning and System Identification
Machine Learning is about endowing artificial systems the ability to learn from experience. The field spans a broad range of topics and include building models from measured data as well as learning actions from "experience". When focusing on learning dynamical models this is often refered to as System identification.
In the recent past the research has been
mainly focused on the development and analysis of so-called
``Subspace Methods'' for identification of linear MIMO systems.
Our current interest is on identification of large scale, possibly
structured, systems. To this purpose we are focusing in the
integration of classical identification methods (such as PEM)
with tecqniques developed in Statistics and Machine Learning to solve large scale, il conditioned inverse problems; in particular nonparametric methods and sparsity inducing priors are being considered, as well as with state of the art optimization algorithms.
Computer vision is the science of retrieving information from images and movies (sequences of images indexed by time). Our goal is to develop methodologies to enable artificial systems to use visual sensors (such as cameras) to interct with the environment similarly to what us humans do. Basic tasks we have in mind are navigation in an unknown and unstructured environment, recognition and classification of objects and scenes etc.
This, which we call the computer vision problem, is a formidable inverse problem which has to cope with high dimensional data (long sequences of possibly high resolution images), hampered by nuisances (factors the images depend on but we are not interested in) and outliers (uninteresting parts of the image which not only do not carry information on our primary task but also disturb our inference problem).
We tackle the computer vision problem through the systematic use of modeling and dynamical systems ideas, together with the most advanced tools for statistical estimation and learning. See our latest work on "Robust visual odometry'' video (supplementary material for our ICRA 2015 submission)
Adaptive optics (AO) is used in astronomy to obtain high resolution images, close to diffraction limited, of stars and galaxies with ground telescopes, otherwise blurred by atmospheric turbulence.
In order to succesfully compensate for the distorsion induced by athmospheric turbulence one (or more) deformable mirros are deformed; the control action used measurements of the wavefront distorsion.
Next generation AO systems have thousand of sensors and actuators and as such pose non-trivial issues both for modeling and control.
|Networked Estimation and Control
In recent years there has been a rapid proliferation of large interconnected and spatially distributed systems of agents. Instances of such systems range from simple sensors with low computational and communication capabilities to more sophisticated devices such as cameras connected through high speed communication networks. Such distributed systems can be employed for a variety of purposes including monitoring and control of large-scale industrial plants and environments. Examples are power distribution networks, large chemical plants, surveillance systems, domotics (to the purpose of both energy awareness and comfort), environment monitoring and control (e.g. fire prevention, avalanche monitoring etc.) and precision agriculture (e.g. control of autonomous greenhouses and irrigation systems).

The 260 mile long Kentucky River runs from the southeast corner of the state to the Ohio River near Louisville. The 450,000 people of Lexington rely on the river for a majority of their drinking water. Due growth of the population and deterioration of the existing structures, the Kentucky River Authority began renovations on the 14 locks and dams along the river to increase the life and storage volume for the city’s water supplies.
Work at Lock #9 called for replacing the existing dam while raising the pool elevation. The new dam was constructed immediately up river of the existing using steel caissons and underwater concrete placement. The increased fall distance in the emergency spillway created concerns of erosion of both the spillway bank, and the base of the dam itself. Due to the challenges of the river site, which included frequent flooding, precast concrete was the solution.
Oldcastle Precast had special molds fabricated to create the custom interlocking shapes as designed by the project engineers. The project required 113 pieces weighing 26,000 lbs each for a total of 1500 tons. Difficult site access to the river gorge on winding rural roads and limited site storage required skilled just-in-time transportation management and execution. Oldcastle Precast delivered.

Kate Brenner reflects on Sam Robson's workshop. This workshop featured a staged reading of Robson’s one-act play Timothy and Mary, which is based on the oral histories of two interviewees from his OHMA thesis. This talk took place on Thursday, September 11, 2014.
Oral history lends itself to creative adaptation. What other medium allows you to explore such depth of character? In a recent OHMA workshop, OHMA alum Sam Robson presented his play, Timothy and Mary, which has many parallels to two famous plays also based on oral histories, Fires in the Mirror and The Laramie Project. While it has similar themes and purpose, its unique approach to dementia plays with the notion of oral history as performance.
Oral history performances are often used as ways to address political issues. Fires in the Mirror was created in response to the Crown Heights riots that erupted in 1991 after a young Caribbean-American boy was hit and killed by a Jewish driver. Tensions escalated even more when, in response, a group of black teenagers killed a Jewish student. Anna Deavere Smith chose to tackle this issue in her one-woman play, Fires in the Mirror. She conducted interviews with people on each side of the conflict, and then she compiled them into a play, acting as every one of the characters.
The Laramie Project arose from the murder of Matthew Shepard, a young gay man in Laramie, Wyoming in 1998. A theater company wanted to understand the town where a hate crime like this took place, so they, like Smith, interviewed the people in the community. The multitude of voices they included created a more encompassing portrayal of the town.
In contrast, Sam Robson’s piece started out in a very personal place. His father had Alzheimer’s. In doing research for his thesis, he only found stories of caretakers, not any from people with Alzheimer’s. After conducting interviews with those who had Alzheimer’s, he came to consider them more as just “very forgetful people.” In fact, most of his play is about his character’s memories, not the lack thereof. He describes it as a love story. By taking away the stigma associated with Alzheimer’s, he attempts to redefine how society views people with Alzheimer’s, which makes the play as politically relevant as the other two discussed here.
Sam’s play does vary from the other two in a few ways. Most notably is that his two characters, Timothy and Mary, are not real people. The other plays rely on the strength of specificity of their characters and the stories they tell. Sam instead created composite characters, formed both from the different stories of the people he interviewed, as well as personal experiences with his father. He talked at the reading of his play about his nervousness at creating characters, and the liberation he felt when he realized that as characters they wouldn’t be able to represent anyone fully. Writing his play as fiction allows him the freedom to do that. Mary recounts the story of waking up and finding Timothy eating and watching TV one morning before dawn. Sam did not pull that from an interview or his own life experience, but as he explained in the question and answer session after the reading, “I made it up, but it was true.” It was an authentic story, though technically one that never happened.
An interesting difference between all three plays is how they acknowledge the fact they come from oral history interviews. Fires in the Mirror’s characters directly speak at the viewer, as if responding to their questions. There is no explicit acknowledgement of the interview, yet the viewer feels like they occupy the space of the interviewer. The Laramie Project brings the viewer to the site of the interview as a bystander, and the actual interviewing is presented as part of the play. Timothy and Mary has an interviewer as a character they interact with, but in a more conceptual way. The interviewer, 5AM, which one audience member pointed out looks a lot like SAM, asks questions sometimes to the point of agitation. His existence both validates and frustrates the storytelling of the characters, especially Timothy, who has Alzheimer’s. His questions are fine until Timothy feels he has to defend himself against the portrayal of him as someone who has memory problems, explaining that he didn’t get lost on the way to the courthouse--ok, maybe he got a little turned around. In fact, 5AM caused him to become stressed about not having the right words when he called on the phone. Sam mentioned this as an experience he personally had with an interviewee, reflecting on the impact an interviewer can have on someone with Alzheimer’s. 5AM also portrays the perspective of the interviewer, frustrated when the interview doesn’t seem to be working.
Upon first glance, Sam’s play seems to differ greatly from the other two, more traditional oral history plays. It does, by use of fictional

A study published in the journal Science has concluded that climate change is altering oceans and rainfall worldwide. A team of three researchers looked at ocean data over the period 1950 to 2000. The research found salinity levels have changed in all the world’s oceans, wetter areas are experiencing more rain and drier areas have become drier.
Susan Wijffels from the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation – CSIRO – says she expects the trend to continue.
“The answer of how much more is going to be in the future depends on how much more warning there is going to be,” she said. “So if we stay on a high emissions pathway we might see warming up around three degrees, which will give us maybe a 24 per cent change in our water cycle.”
The authors say this could have implications for global food security. In the paper, Australian scientists from the CSIRO and the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, California, reported changing patterns of salinity in the global ocean during the past 50 years, marking a clear fingerprint of climate change. ::::
Lead author, Dr Paul Durack, said that by looking at observed ocean salinity changes and the relationship between salinity, rainfall and evaporation in climate models, they determined the water cycle has strengthened by four per cent from 1950-2000. This is twice the response projected by current generation global climate models.
“Salinity shifts in the ocean confirm climate and the global water cycle have changed. These changes suggest that arid regions have become drier and high rainfall regions have become wetter in response to observed global warming,” said Dr Durack, a post-doctoral fellow at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
With a projected temperature rise of 3ºC by the end of the century, the researchers estimate a 24 per cent acceleration of the water cycle is possible. Scientists have struggled to determine coherent estimates of water cycle changes from land-based data because surface observations of rainfall and evaporation are sparse. However, according to the team, global oceans provide a much clearer picture.
“The ocean matters to climate – it stores 97 per cent of the world’s water; receives 80 per cent of the all surface rainfall and; it has absorbed 90 per cent of the Earth’s energy increase associated with past atmospheric warming,” said co-author, Dr Richard Matear of CSIRO’s Wealth from Oceans Flagship. “Warming of the Earth’s surface and lower atmosphere is expected to strengthen the water cycle largely driven by the ability of warmer air to hold and redistribute more moisture.”
He said the intensification is an enhancement in the patterns of exchange between evaporation and rainfall and with oceans accounting for 71 percent of the global surface area the change is clearly represented in ocean surface salinity patterns. In the study, the scientists combined 50-year observed global surface salinity changes with changes from global climate models and found “robust evidence of an intensified global water cycle at a rate of about eight per cent per degree of surface warming,” Dr Durack said.
Dr Durack said the patterns are not uniform, with regional variations agreeing with the ‘rich get richer’ mechanism, where wet regions get wetter and dry regions drier. He said a change in freshwater availability in response to climate change poses a more significant risk to human societies and ecosystems than warming alone.
Ocean salinity FAQs [pdf]
Argo is an observation system for the Earth’s oceans that provides real-time data for use in climate, weather, oceanographic and fisheries research. Argo consists of a large collection of small, drifting oceanic robotic probes deployed worldwide. The probes float as deep as 2 km. Once every 10 days, the probes surface, measuring conductivity and temperature profiles to the surface. From these, salinity and density can be calculated. The data are transmitted to scientists on shore via satellite. The data collected are freely available to everyone, without restrictions. The initial project goal was to deploy 3,000 probes, completed in November 2007.
The Argo program is a collaboration between 50 research and operational agencies from 31 countries. Argo is a component of the Integrated Ocean Observing System.
The Argo program was designed to operate on the same 10-day duty cycle to match the existing satellite measurements of the ocean’s sea surface. These satellites, calledTopex/Poseidon and Jason 1, measure changes in the surface topography of the ocean. With such measurements, information about temperature, mass redistribution, or surface currents can be inferred. The Argo floats measure subsurface changes in temperature and salinity, hence the float measurements are complementary to the altimetry.
Argo is named after the Greek mythical ship Argo which Jason and the Argonauts use on their quest for the Golden Fleece. The name was chosen to emphasize the complementary relationship of the project with the Jason-1 satellite altimeter.
Although drifting floats had been deployed during the World Ocean Circulation Experiment in the 1990s, Argo

We strive to be the marriage between fashion and fine jewelry and be an affordable, high quality alternative to fine jewelry. We beat fashion jewelry standards in terms of our thicker plating and by using the highest quality materials within the fashion jewelry price range.
We finish our plated jewelry with a protective coating which allows it to better withstand daily evils like sweat, which typically makes jewelry susceptible to tarnishing. Our materials composition make for an amazing, wearable, high quality, seamless jewelry piece with longevity.
18k Gold Plate
18 karat gold, in our opinion, is by far the prettiest shade of gold. Not too yellow, not too subdued. Plated over brass, you get the luxury shine with the fashion jewelry price tag.
18k Rose Gold Plate
18 karat rose gold is 4% silver + 75% gold + 21% copper to give a gorgeous rose color. This pink metal is plated over a brass base to get the same look of fine jewelry at a fraction of the cost.
We plate our silver colored necklaces and earrings in rhodium due to it's vibrant color and durability. Rhodium is one of two of the only metals more precious than gold due to its rarity; we counteract the price by plating the rhodium over brass.
Sterling Silver Plate
Our silver rings are all plated in sterling silver. We think the bright white silver of sterling gives our rings a special POP! Our rings are plated over brass for a beautiful yet affordable piece.
14k Solid Gold
Our PURE Collection is made of solid 14k gold and 14k rose gold. We chose 14k because of it's strength, brilliant color, and kind sensitivity to all skin types.
Because solid gold doesn't tarnish, you can wear these all day - so feel free to sweat, sleep, and shower in them.
Jewelry should be kept away from cleaning agents, beauty products and water, and stored in a cool, dry place to discourage tarnishing (pro-tip: this is how you should care for all your fashion jewelry). Gently clean your jewelry with a soft cotton or microfiber cloth when necessary.
We recommend taking your body's natural pH level and the jewelry's metal composition into consideration when buying jewelry. High acidity levels can lead to metals fading and/or tarnishing more quickly. Therefore, solid gold (versus gold plated) is generally a better material for those with higher acidity levels.

Retail sales in county up slightly
Friday, August 01, 2014 12:01 AM
VAN WERT — The increase was not large. But it was an increase.
Totals from the July sales tax collection in Van Wert County increased over one year ago. Slightly. Receipts for July reflect May sales in the county, which were 0.7 percent higher than in 2013.
The news broke a string of months where retail sales did not keep up with the same month in the prior year. In fact, sales have fallen off in seven of the past ten months.
In the latest report, sales increases in the county are led by motor vehicle sales and retail sales in big box stores. Van Wert County charges 1.5 percent sales tax on local sales in addition to the state’s 6.0 percent. Trends in sales tax collection are indicators of trends in local sales.
The total tax collection was up by $2,314 over collections in May 2013. Even with the shortfalls through much of the first half of the year compared to 2013, sales tax collection is still on track to total more than the budgeted $4.02 million for 2014.
The June collection in 2013 were $336,729.89 while in 2014 the total reached $339,044.11.

One of my many homes was the beautiful and different Chapel Road in Bandra West, Mumbai. I still remember the warm vibe of the twisted lanes and the noise of the rickshaws zooming pass my home. Once I had settled in, I would always look for excuses to walk around the locality. Thankfully on Chapel Road, every turn is a good excuse to discover on foot.
In my recent visit to Mumbai, I walked down the familiar streets to indulge in some nostalgia once again. And to my delight, nothing had changed. I passed by the prominent graffiti in the lanes and entered by favourite cafe, Birdsong, once again to work. Here are some photographs from my time there. Welcome home to creativity!

So I’m going to geek out on you a bit with this one, so bear with me. One thing you may not know about me is that I have a degree in Classical Civilisation, and I especially loved studying ancient greek plays, poems and literature. I have recently embarked upon the Canongate Myth Series, in which contemporary authors retell ancient myths, and started with one of my faves – the story of Odysseus and Penelope.
The ancient epic poems are all told from the viewpoint of the hero, and Margaret Atwood has shaken things up by retelling the story of the Odyssey from the point of view of Penelope – Odysseus’ wife – who is now in the afterlife and has seen the world change from ancient times to today. Little snippets here and there of Penelope’s understanding of modern society and technology are both clever and funny – and one thing I definitely wasn’t expecting when reading this was to laugh! The book is also a mix of Penelope’s narration and choruses from her 12 maids – nicely echoing the structure of ancient greek plays and taking me back to lovely lectures in Leeds!
My only experience of Margaret Atwood prior to reading this was studying Surfacing at school – which I reeeally struggled with and consequently I’ve been avoiding her books like the plague ever since – however I loved this and am now going to start embracing the Atwood! It’s also worth mentioning that you really don’t need a background in ancient history to enjoy this book! The scene is set succinctly in the introduction and then you can dive right in and enjoy the narrative.

I recently graduated from the The University of Minnesota - Twin Cities with a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science with a track emphasis in Software Development. Throughout my time in college I was able to expose myself to a wide range of programming skills. Even after completing my degree, I am still actively looking to expand my horizon.
Here are a few skills that I have gained starting with the most familiar:
iOS Tracker App
China King Buffet Website
IT Systems Staff Operator (Field Technician)
For two and a half years of my college life, the College of Science Engineering department at the University of Minnesota employed me as an IT operator. Although the position did not involve much programming, it allowed me to gain valuable insight into each component of a computer and how to keep them functioning properly.

- We lagged in 2G, 3G and 4G but in 5G India should move at a speed faster than the world with made in India 5G, said Telecom Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad.
- Currently, there are more than 100 commercial 5G networks rolled out across the world.
IT and Telecom Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad on Thursday said that 5G core network should be Indian and the country should move faster on the next-generation technology with indigenously made telecom gears.
The Telecom minister informed that the testbed is ready for 5G and the government will soon to grant the permit for trails. During a National Informatics Centre Services Incorporated (NICSI) event, Prasad said, “We lagged in 2G, 3G and 4G but in 5G India should move at a speed faster than the world with made in India 5G. We have made a testbed and we are soon going to permit it. Core network should be Indian,”
Previously, the Telecom Department had set a target to start 5G trails in 2019 with a roll-out timeframe set for 2020. However, due to claims by the defence ministry and space department on part of the spectrum that was identified for 5G core network services led to the delay.
The industry estimates inform that there are more than 100 commercial 5G networks rolled out across the world. Prasad believes that 5G will be a disrupting technology and can open up a lot of new avenues.
“I urge all the private sectors including other operators, NICSI to rise to the occasion to understand, adopt, innovate- the emerging contours of 5G. 5G is not only communication technology but it is disrupting technology and will create new avenues,” the minister said.
Urging India to be a topmost data economy, Prasad asserted, “Please develop NICSI as a good platform to help roll a big data economy in the country. The nation which will generate a huge amount of data will lead in the data economy,”

I have written and talked a lot about silence. In the book I’m reading I ran across this quote and agree so much with it.
All of humanity’s problems stem from man’s inability to sit quietly in a room alone.
The only thing I would add to that is “in silence.” That might not have been necessary in Pascal’s time but today it would be.
It is critically important for us to take “down time.” Not just time to sit but time to sit with nothing else going on. It is easy to notice how difficult this is for people when in church you ask people to sit for a moment in silence. It doesn’t take long for the twitching to begin.
Our culture gives so little time for this kind of restfulness. There is almost always something to watch, listen to, or be distracted by. I have noticed that some school systems in the world are beginning to teach children how to sit quietly in a meditative way. What a wonderful thing. The current generations have great trouble with it.
I was an only child and had much time by myself to just be quiet and think. It has helped me to be able to do this. Everyone needs to learn!
The work on our bathroom continues. Today we had the insurance adjuster as areas below the shower seat and the floor were soaked. There must have been a break in the tile that we couldn’t see. We don’t know what they will do but anything will be a help.
There is something disorienting about living somewhere in your house that you never stayed constantly in. It is a strange feeling. I didn’t ever think about it being off putting but it is. I don’t know why. It just feels wrong.
I really can’t think of the word to describe how it feels. The word that comes closest is disordered. According to the dictionary it is: disrupting the healthy or normal functioning of. Our closets are between our bedroom and the bathroom and the bedroom is covered with plastic and unusable. To get clothes I have to wander into the disaster zone and find what I want. I keep moving things to the bedroom I am using. Who knows what will be there when we get done.
I am spending time out of the house, mediating when I can and generally using coping skills to stay myself. I didn’t expect something that is a happy circumstance to be disorienting. Oh well. Live and learn. As a nurse I know that even good stress is stress (eustress) and can get to you. I think that having to delay a week because of the hurricane didn’t help.
They are moving on with the work and I hope they are done soon.
There is so much noise in our daily lives that silence is almost unknown. When I worked for the church I would occasionally ask people to sit in silence for one minute. I actually timed it and after 30 seconds the fidgeting would begin.
There is not only no silence on the outside but there is little silence on the inside. Most of us have not learned how to shut off the voice in our heads. Since we have been so little exposed to quieting that voice it requires time and effort to learn how to do it. We decide that we want to try meditation and we can’t seem to settle and so we quit. It really is difficult to meditate in the beginning on your own. It is so much easier if there is a voice directing you. There are many Amazon Alexa apps that will take you through a meditation but even those aren’t always enough.
The best meditation I ever did was in a group with someone walking you quietly through the process. A really good leader can help you explore more depths that almost any other way. I have not found many meditation experiences except in yoga classes and most of them don’t meditate long enough for you to get into the place where you can let everything go.
I am hoping to start a group but I don’t know if I will have any takers. It remains to be seen.
A “better” world is one in which we recognize that all people possess an incomparable value that we are morally obliged to respect... in social, political, and economic terms. Honoring the humanity of your fellow beings means that if they are hungry, ill, or oppressed, you must exert yourself to help them.... But this... runs up against our inherited instincts of self-protection, greediness, and desire to dominate others.... If we could rearrange energy from within—if we more often nurtured our companions and promoted their well-being, we would suffer much less. Rearranging energy from within is what mysticism does. Dr. Beatrice Bruteau (1930–2014)
This quote from the meditation of Richard Rohr really speaks to what we must do to make the world a better place.

This article explores theoretical aspects of state activism in economic development to address specific gaps in the literature. I content that state economic development is a complex and dynamic phenomenon which can not be adequately conceptualized nor modeled using ad hoc classification systems, taxonomies, nor conceptual frameworks. Instead, I propose a theoretical framework which has two principal governmental functions. Each function is defined by a typology of four policy types which are theoretically grounded and organized within an institutional framework. This theoretical system addresses the limitations of efforts to account for foundational economic determinants of state development and to assess both the linkages between policy types as well as the linkages between state economic development and institutions. The narrow and often competing perspectives of previous studies can present a distorted picture of state activism in economic development. This study seeks to present a clearer and comprehensive description of this phenomenon.
State governments have a lengthy history of pursuing strategies to develop their economies (Wood, 1993). This activism is perhaps more extensive than many people realize (Anderson, 1989). One can trace its development from the current "entrepreneurial" strategies (Eisinger, 1988) to the "smokestack chasing" of the 1930s (Hopkins, 1944) back to the building of roads, canals, and later railroads in colonial times (Goodrich, 1965), from which the beginning of any investigation of state economic development should be rooted (Burkhead, 1989: p. 41). Yet, while state activism in economic development is well established, research on development strategies is still in a formative stage (Kalleberg, 1986). Theoretically speaking this policy domain may still be considered terra incognita.
Theoretical research on state economic development can be categorized into four distinct levels: ad hoc classification systems, taxonomies, conceptual frameworks, and theoretical systems (Parsons and Shils, 1962). An ad hoc classification system is the most rudimentary of theories. It consists of arbitrary categories constructed to describe and organize empirical observations. Examples of ad hoc classification systems in the economic development literature would be the works of Plaut and Pluta (1983) and Bingham and Bowen (1994). The next level of theories are taxonomies. Typologies constructed under this theoretical model have carefully crafted definitions, are closely aligned to the empirical world, and are often interrelated. However, taxonomies only describe empirical phenomena, they do not offer explanations. Berman and Martin (1992) and Reese (1993) provide examples of taxonomies of development programs.
Conceptual frameworks are more sophisticated theories than lower level classifications because they provide explanations and predictions for empirical observations. Still, the explanatory and predictive powers of conceptual frameworks are limited because their propositions are not deductively derived. Development studies within this tradition would include the works of Eisinger (1988) and Fosler (1992). The highest level of theorization, according to Parsons and Shils, is theoretical systems. In addition to combining taxonomies and conceptual frameworks they offer descriptions, explanations, and predictions about a phenomenon in a systematic manner. They also do not limit the scope to particular aspects, however much need there is for careful study the sub-systems themselves (Spengler and Allen, 1960).
State economic development is a complex and dynamic phenomenon which can not be adequately conceptualized nor modeled using ad hoc classification systems, taxonomies, nor conceptual frameworks. Spengler and Allen (1960) argue that any theory of state economic policy which fails to recognize all relevant sub-systems and their interaction is inadequate (pp. …

Surviving the Holiday Political Discussions
If you want to have a Happy Thanksgiving & Christmas holidays it’s probably the best choice NOT to discuss politics unless everyone holds the same views. There are in fact, healthy times to avoid conflict, even though in most cases, it is best to talk things through and try to come to some agreement. However, when values are involved, it can become a minefield and people become very positional very quickly.
The next best choice is to hire a professional family mediator or invite one to dinner!
If someone insists on talking ABOUT THE ELECTION, just ask if you can say something like this before the discussion gets going or print these and hand them out!
I’d like to make ground rules to keep the discussion safe for those who are talking as well as anyone listening–especially the kids who are present. I’d like to ask if we can all agree to the following:
- IF we discuss politics, we can start w the premise that both candidates were very flawed and we will not assume that any of us holds ALL the same values as the person we finally selected as our candidate or sit in judgement of one another.
- We will display respect of one another’s opinions and feelings or agree not to discuss politics if we can’t.
- We agree to stop the conversation if anyone asks for it to stop.
- We will listen with curiosity and try to understand one another’s needs and values which led to our selection of a candidate, and even validate that view if we can do so w/o sounding as if we condemn each other, for example: “I can see how that is very important to you, can I tell you what was important to me in this election and why?”
- We will not interrupt or denigrate each other for our choice of candidate.
- We are free to speak for ourselves and the reasons we could not choose to vote for the other candidate, but will not make those who did choose another candidate feel foolish for doing so. For example, rather than saying, “How on earth could you vote for someone who (fill in the blank). We can say, w/o judgement of others in our tone, “In the end, I just could not bring myself to vote for someone who (fill in the blank).”
- Agree that we have the best country in the world, where everyone can support their choice for leader and have a peaceful transition of power.
- If you were a Trump supporter, ask people to please support his Presidency with prayer, just as those who opposed President Obama did when he was elected twice.
If you’re lucky, no one in your family will want to discuss politics at Thanksgiving or Christmas, you’ll have a nice meal and everyone will fall asleep watching football!
Have a blessed day and Christmas Holiday Season!

Between floods, tornadoes, and massive thunderstorms, Austin residents are no strangers to natural disasters. With summer right around the corner, many of us are gearing up for the inclement weather that is sure to arrive.
Pet owners have an added worry when it comes to pets and natural disasters. Learn how to keep your pet safe and calm when bad weather strikes with expert tips from your friends at Westlake Animal Hospital.
Pets and Natural Disasters: Safety First!
Having a plan in place before disaster strikes will help you keep your cool and allow you to think clearly during a potential emergency. Take the following steps to help ensure your pet’s safety:
- Have your pet microchipped if you have not already done so. Because collars and ID tags can easily become lost or damaged, microchipping provides the best chance of being reunited with a lost pet.
- In the event of an evacuation, never leave your pet behind in the home! Identify a trusted friend, family member, or boarding kennel ahead of time that will take your pet in case you aren’t able to find a place where you can stay together.
- Keep up with your pet’s regularly scheduled wellness exams. A pet who is not current on vaccines and parasite preventatives may not be allowed into a shelter or hotel during an emergency evacuation situation.
- Make an "emergency kit” for your pet and keep it in an easy to access place. Include a leash/carrier, a copy of vaccination records, and any medications your pet is on.
Keeping Them Calm
Although it’s far more likely that we will experience the usual round of noisy summer storms this year, and not a true natural disaster, your pet probably can’t tell the difference. Fortunately, there are ways to help an anxious pet feel more secure during a thunderstorm, fireworks display, or other noisy event:
- Never leave a pet home alone during a thunderstorm or fireworks display. Bring outdoor pets inside and keep them there until the event is over. Stay nearby to provide soothing verbal and touch-based reassurance.
- Keep doors and windows closed to prevent pets from accidentally escaping.
- Muffle the sounds outside by playing the TV or radio at a low volume, or turning on a fan.
- Consider using a Thundershirt or other pressure-based garment designed for anxiety reduction (just be sure to remove it once the event is over, as they are not designed for long-term use).
If you are still having trouble managing your pet’s noise-related anxiety, or have any other questions regarding pets and natural disasters, please don’t hesitate to give us a call!

Kevin Feige reveals the characters that will lead Marvel Films' Phase Three!!!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. We know that Edgar Wright's been involved with Marvel Film since the early Iron Man 1 days and in all that time he's been associated with Ant-Man. At last year's Comic-Con they unveiled a proof of concept reel that Edgar and his team put together that looked really rad, so it was certainly reasonable to assume that Ant-Man was moving closer and closer to reality.
Now we know how close to reality.
In an interview with MTV's Splash Page, Marvel Films big cheese Kevin Feige revealed that Ant-Man will be one of the leading films for Marvel's Phase 3 (we're in Phase 2 right now with Iron Man 3, Cap 2, Thor 2, Guardians of the Galaxy and The Avengers 2), expected to hit screens in 2015, sometime after The Avengers 2 takes a bow.
Feige states that the only reason they're making the movie is because Edgar wants to do it and that while it will be firmly established in the Marvel Universe it'll be "in a different corner than we've seen before."
Ant-Man is not alone in the new, weirder, Phase 3. He'll also be joined by a certain Sorcerer Supreme.
Feige was sketchier on a Doctor Strange movie, but you can tell he's fired up about the character and the potential for a kick-ass movie. No date was mentioned, just that he'll be a prominent lynchpin to Phase 3.
Super exciting times for us Marvel geeks, innit? Now they just need to get Guillermo del Toro on the phone for Doctor Strange: The Movie and all will be right with the world. And if he turns them down, then I'm gonna make the case right here and now for Don Coscarelli to get a shot at the big time. He deserves it and would be a brave, inspired choice. At least I think so.

Plug-in Electric Chevrolet Volt
The Chevy Volt has been under an identity crisis for about a year, but now it’s going through questionable miles per gallon. For example, when the vehicle was introduced, it was called a new electric car by General Motors. Then, for some reason, it got changed to an extended-range vehicle. However, most consumers believe that it’s a plug-in electric vehicle, and some think it’s still a full hybrid automobile.
Chevrolet Volt started out confusing, with different terms by GM officials trying to describe the car. From what we now know about the automobile, it is a plug-in full hybrid car. Any car or vehicle that uses two sources for power is considered to be a hybrid vehicle. In addition, it is very close to being a PHEV, which stands for Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle.
What surprises me are how some automakers use this new “hybrid” term to uniquely describe their innovation and technology. I will say that Ford, Toyota, and Honda have stayed on the correct course when it comes to describing their hybrid cars. However, GM feels that they have to be different in their approach with the Chevy Volt. Each time they say “it’s an extended-range vehicle” contrary to being a hybrid, I often want to scream.
I understand that GM wants to be recognized as “New GM” and is quite determined to build new hybrid cars that can do 230 miles per gallon. However, the mileage might come with some exaggeration. For example, the car can drive up to 40 minutes, or 40 miles as other reports indicate, before the battery needs a recharge. As long as you don’t mind the stopping every 40 minutes, you can achieve greater mileage by not burning gasoline.
The GM Volt is nothing that a Ford Fusion, Toyota Prius, or a Honda Insight can’t do if they had a plug-in option to recharge the battery. The Chevrolet Volt battery pack can be recharged by either the gas engine or by using a standard home outlet. The vehicle can recharge either way.
However, if I want to drive 230 miles without stopping for gas, I will have shorter distances to go each time I need to echarge the battery. Perhaps this is where the “extended-range vehicle” comes from. It was probably named that from the same office luncheon when they decided to market it as a 230 MPG automobile.
I don’t want to sound too rude, or obnoxious when it comes to GM. I am supposed to be one of the owners, oh, I mean taxpayers, and I do hope the Chevy Volt can compete in a market that is already swarming with cars made by Ford, Toyota, and Honda. It also leads me to believe that General Motors was actually three years behind the times in comparison to other automakers. You could probably say a decade, if you want to just include Toyota and Honda.
Does this vehicle have a market? Oh course it does. Even if it will provide 40 or so miles without using gas, that is a huge leap for GM innovation. For example, my total commute for work is about 31 miles total. This means I can drive the Chevy Volt without using a drop of gasoline for my daily commute. However, I wouldn’t exactly say that it gets 230 MPG without indicating that there’s some time involved during a recharge. However, maybe GM is hinting at something else that we don’t know about. Perhaps something they cannot unveil at this time. It’s very possible.

Thanks, about the only positive signs for Obama are among
Blacks and Hispanics, and there are problems with those as well.
Obama has an apathy problem with the black voters. They came out in 2008. Many don’t care in 2012. This from the mouths of some of the black Americans a friend of mine heard at a flea market in a black region of his town.

If, after a car accident that was not your fault, the idea of driving, or even getting in your vehicle causes you to suffer extreme anxiety, you may be experiencing vehophobia after a car accident. The Bishop Law Firm represents personal injury clients in NC and we do not get paid unless we win your case.
According to the American Psychiatric Association, anxiety disorders are the most common mental disorder, affecting nearly 30 percent of adults at some point in their lives. Anxiety disorders cause people to avoid situations that trigger or worsen their symptoms. Vehophobia is frequently seen with other anxiety disorders. Vehophobia, like PTSD, can occur after being involved in or even witnessing a car wreck. Unlike PTSD, vehophobia can occur without a negative past experience.
Phobias can result from trauma or unexplained fear. According to the ADAA, fear of something bad happening while driving in or to a location that is far from home, fear of having a panic attack while stuck in traffic, or fear of dying in a car accident can all be indicators that you are suffering from vehophobia.
Depending on the severity of your car accident and your injuries, you may understandably be extremely frightened to get behind the wheel again. This is especially true if the car collision was not your fault. Your psychiatric pain and suffering can also contribute to your fear of getting behind the wheel. Vehophobia arises when you are unable to overcome this persistent fear of losing control and are unwilling/unable to drive.
If you are experiencing vehophobia, treatment is available. Treatment is aimed at empowering you to overcome your anxiety regarding driving. Behavioral therapy, virtual therapy and medications to reduce anxiety are all options (Via Wikipedia). Taking driving classes and even driving short distances (like your driveway) can help drivers regain confidence and overcome anxiety. There are support groups as well that may help. Here are some helpful resources on anxiety from N.C. State University.
If you are experiencing vehophobia after a car accident that was not your fault, you should contact a personal injury lawyer to discuss if a personal injury claim is the right choice for you. Medical treatment for your car-wreck related injuries (mental and physical) can be expensive and time consuming. You should not have to pay for someone else’s mistake twice.
The Bishop Law Firm represents car accident victims in Raleigh, Cary, Durham, Fayetteville, Rocky Mount, Wilson, Chapel Hill and other areas in North Carolina and we offer free case evaluations. Call us today, (919) 615-3095.

The City of Longview had supplied water through three different pressure zones within the distribution system. The City developed a long term goal for consolidating the pressures zones to reduce pumping and water delivery cost. As part of the long range goals, the City of Longview retained the services of KSA Engineers, Inc to design a new 1 million gallon composite elevated storage tank (EST). The scope of services for the EST project included:
- A hydraulic analysis of the distribution system to determine the most advantageous location for the EST.
- Projections for future service areas to determine the elevation of the EST.
- Development of the plan to relocate the hydraulic divisions within the distribution system (locate pressure planes).
- Assist the City with acquiring the EST property.
- Survey of overflow elevations of the City’s existing EST’s.
- Engineering design services.
- Design survey.
- Construction administration services.
- Resident Project Representative services.
- Coordination between the construction of the EST as well as design and construction of distribution system improvements under a separate contract.
The original construction contract time was 480 days and the job was completed in 580 days. The project included 1 change order adding logo painting, piping modifications, lighting, and SCADA intruder alarms, however, cost savings during construction reduced the overall construction price.

Alibaba offers 189 high performance flotation separator products. About 52% of these are mineral separator, 1% are other mining machines, and 1% are water treatment. A wide variety of high performance flotation separator options are available to you, such as flotation separator, magnetic separator, and sprial separator.
Whatever flotation machine design is chosen, it must perform a series of complicated functions. Some of the more obvious are: Good mixing of pulp. To be effective, a flotation machine should maintain all particles uniformly in suspension within the pulp, including those of relatively high density anchor size. Good mixing of pulp is required for maximizing bubble-particle frequency.

Lagos - Former tourist haven in Lagos threatened by rising sea levels
Nigeria's sprawling commercial capital Lagos is already feeling the impact of climate change. Rising sea levels pose a threat to the city's sustainability. And some coastal communities are on the verge of being wiped out. CCTV's Deji Badmus has more.

The Spokane, Portland and Seattle acquired thirteen 0-1 Class 2-8-2 Mikado engines from the Great Northern. Engine Number 506, the one I chose to model, was built in 1913 by the Baldwin Locomotive Works as Great Northern engine Number 3023 and was scrapped in November of 1950. The Sunset GN 0-1 closely resembles SP&S engines 500 through 507. The shape of the sand dome and the cab front are the only major differences I can see between the Sunset model and the prototype. Number 508 through 512 of the 0-1 class have the steam and sand domes in a different location on the superstructure. I chose not to change the cab front as it would have required rebuilding the entire locomotive superstructure to fit a new cab on the boiler.
Editor's Note: The Spokane Portland and Seattle acquired thirteen 0-1 Class locomotives from the Great Northern. In this grouping were two distinct series of locomotives. The first group, SP&S 500-507 were purchased from the GN in the 1920's, remaining in the roster until the late 1940's or early 1950's. The SP&S 508-512 were purchased from the GN in the mid-1940's and remained in the roster until the early 1950's. The Great Northnern had 145 O-1 Mikes built from 1911 to 1918. On the GN they rebuilt a number of times, with added improvements during each rebuilding. One of the features of the rebuilding was a new cab with a slanted front.
The SP&S 500-507 were received from the Great Northern prior to the cab modification and had square cabs. The 508-512 received much later came with the slanted cabs of the rebuilt O-1 Class.
The Sunset model is a model of the Great Northern Number 3056 as it was retired to a park in Williston, North Dakota. This model has the slandted cab of the rebuilt O-1's.
As author Caswell points out above, it would be a major rebuilding to change the cab style and he did not feel in his conversion that he wanted to essentially make an entire new superstructure for his model. Thanks to George Berisso for the foregoiong prototype info.

I began my conversion by acquiring a Sunset Great Northern 0-1 Class locomotive and an Overland E-15 4-6-0 tender. I saved the O-1 tender for use on another SP&S engine conversion. I haven't acquired the skills necessary to build a tender from scratch so I took the coward's way out. I chose engine Number 506 because there is a left side photo in Wood's SP&S Book, and I was able to get a right side photo from H.K. Vollrath. The photo in the SP&S book is 1950 vintage, while the H. K. Vollrath photo was taken in 1935. There are many differences between the two photographs. I tried to duplicate the 1950 version of the engine.
Soldering tweezers, Microflame torch, and cyanoacrylate cement were used to attach new parts after the lacquer finish was stripped off, otherwise it is hard to solder parts on. Remove

Enter the three track EP remix of Dancing With Fireflies by Stasis Recordings founder and producer Sanderson Dear, off his Urban Mosaic full-length on same label. The three remix artists are Louis Haiman, Minimal States, and Off Land wherein each bring their own emotional take on the track; including deep, moody yet heavily grooving house (Haiman), angsty techno from Minimal States and spacious ambience of Off Land on a retro-stylings tip. Opening with an infectious bass groove and restrained hand percussion rhythms, “Louis Haiman’s Evening Shadows mix’s” synth tones and melodies hover and shimmer like fireflies on a dusky expanse. Overtones of melancholy permeate, the the way the sunset makes one feel sad from the loss of a sunny day, but there is also anticipation of various excitements with the approach the night to counterbalance as the tune picks up. The following “Minimal States remix” has more anxious overtones with tense, dramatic synth melodies that layer and build until they are propelled by controlled yet layered techno beats that interplay and build in intensity. As the track progresses, the beats and momentum harness the angst and throw into an infectious-dance driven excursion, ultimately providing a kind of resolution to the turmoil. By way of contrast, the dreamier “Off Land recon” rolls into the listeners’ ears like a gentle morning mist with whispering rhythms and tones that echoes fragments of nostalgic 80’s songs tantalizingly just out of memory’s reach. Murmurs of dialog periodically peep through the billowing ambience as the mind struggles to reconstruct what could be an event from the past or some distant dream. Three satisfying emotional takes are offered here and the one critique is that it would be nice to experience the original track here so the listener can compare and contrast. This listener is certainly motivated to acquire the Urban Mosaic album to hear the inspiration behind all this musical goodness. If you like your electronic music moods mixed, the Dancing With Fireflies EP will not disappoint.

Tokyo (AFP) July 12, 2011
Japanese waste incineration plants near Tokyo have found high levels of radiation in ash, and officials said Tuesday it may be from garden waste contaminated by the Fukushima nuclear disaster.
The radioactive caesium was detected in plants in Kashiwa city in Chiba prefecture, northeast of Tokyo and about 200 kilometres (120 miles) from the plant that has leaked radiation since the March 11 quake and tsunami.
Officials stressed that the radioactive ash collected in late June and early July, at concentrations of up to 70,800 becquerels per kilogramme, was safely contained within the plant and posed no health risk to the community.
The level is far higher than the government's 8,000-becquerel per kilogramme limit, above which waste dumps must keep such ash in storage, and it presents authorities with the question of what to do with it.
Authorities suspect the caesium may be from garden waste, such as tree branches and grass cuttings, that has been burnt in the facility.
Kashiwa city official Kiyoshi Nakamura told AFP: "Some people are believed to have cut plants and mown their lawns because of fear of radioactive contamination, and that waste was apparently brought to the plant."
"The radioactive ash is stored inside the plant, so the radiation has not been leaked into the environment," he said.
However, another city official, Masaki Orihara, warned that "we may run out of space to store the ash in about 55 days. There may be no other way but to end up suspending incinerators in the worst case."

Japan says plant clean-up will take decades
Tokyo (AFP) July 9, 2011

Jason Ferruggia is a highly sought after, world renowned strength & conditioning specialist and muscle building expert. Over the last 17 years he has personally trained more than 700 athletes from over 90 different NCAA, NFL, NHL and MLB organizations. He has also worked extensively with firefighters, police officers, military personnel, Hollywood stars and entertainers. Most importantly, Jason has helped over 53,000 skinny guys and hard gainers in 126 different countries build muscle and gain weight faster than they every thought possible.
“Reg Park’s theory was that first you have to build the mass and then chisel it down to get the quality; you work on your body the way a sculptor would work on a piece of clay or wood or steel. You rough it out””the more carefully, the more thoroughly, the better”” then you start to cut and define. You work it down gradually until it’s ready to be rubbed and polished. And that’s when you really know about the foundation. Then all the faults of poor early training stand out as hopeless, almost irreparable flaws. [..]
If you're serious about putting on some muscle, then the most efficient way to do it is with three intense resistance training sessions and two lighter intensity workouts per week. “You need to have consistency in a workout program, hitting at least each muscle group two times a week to build muscle,” explains Lovitt. If you’re looking to switch up exercises, Olson suggests swaps such as sumo squats instead of traditional squats; step-ups on a bench instead of lunges; and then rotating back to the former. “These types of variation can be very effective in developing muscles, but the weights must still be fairly heavy that you’re using,” she says.
But muscle can’t turn into fat, just like mud can’t turn into gold. If you quit lifting, your muscles mass will decrease over time because there’s no training to stimulate your body to keep it. And your body-fat level will increase if you don’t start eating less (since you burn less). The obvious solution when you stop lifting is to also stop eating so much.
Firstly, let’s establish where your glutes are and what they actually refer to! Your ‘glutes’ — or your gluteal muscles, as they are more formally known — refer to the muscles in your butt. Specifically, there are three major muscles in this area: your gluteus maximus (the main, large muscle that shapes your backside), your gluteus medius and your gluteus minimus (two smaller muscles that assist the gluteus maximus in moving your body).

I did enjoy my tomato plants a lot last season and have started tomatoes again. I tried a tomato plant starter kit last season since it was my first time growing tomatoes (growing anything). This year i decided to grow tomatoes again and start them from seeds myself without having to buy a starter kit. This is one of the tomato plants right now. I started it in my chilli and pepper tray right after i had moved some chillis to separate pots.
Update, 9th of April
I have not been to good at sharing pictures of my tomatoes this year but this is how they look now.
Update, 12th of March
Update, 15th of May
They are back on track!
My home has plants everywhere! And many chillis already!
Update, 22nd of May
Tomatoes moved out this weekend!
Update, 3rd of June
Tomatoes like this spot and grows good even if nights are still quite cold.
Update, 18th of August
I’m very happy with how my tomatoes are growing but I wonder if i planted them to close?

Hotel Rochester spoon
Scope and Contents
The Hotel Rochester spoon is a silver teaspoon imprinted with "Hotel Rochester" on the under side of the handle. Also on the handle is the name of the manufacturer, Meriden Britannia Company. RIT purchased the Hotel Rochester building and converted it into a men's dormitory on the downtown campus. On the upper side of the handle there is an insignia.
- Creation: undated
Conditions Governing Access
This collection is open to researchers.
Biographical / Historical
The silver spoon is stamped on the back of the handle "HOTEL ROCHESTER," and Meriden Brita.Co.XII. 6.
According to Wikipedia; The Meriden Britannia Company was formed in 1852 in Meriden, Connecticut as a manufacturing company focused on producing wares in britannia metal. By 1876, the Meriden Britannia Company had grown a great deal and the company made significant efforts at the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia in that year. The company won the First Place medal for plated wares. According to Sotheby's in New York, "The publicity of the award and the impression the firm made on the fair's 8 million visitors was continued by the catalogues and other intensive marketing; by the end of the 1870s Meriden Britannia Co. was considered the largest silverware company in the world."
In 1898, the Meriden Britannia Company became part of the larger International Silver Company corporation headquartered in Meriden. Afterwards, while part of ISC, many designs were produced under the Meriden Britannia brand with design trade catalogues specifying Meriden Britannia wares.
Meriden Britannia Company designs are included in many museum collections, including the Brooklyn Museum, New York; Dallas Museum of Art; Davis Museum at Wellesley College, MA; Jewish Museum, New York; Wadsworth Atheneum, Hartford, CT; Mint Museum, Charlotte, NC; Victoria and Albert Museum, London, England; Wolfsonian FIU, Miami Beach, FL; Yale University Art Gallery, New Haven, CT
The Hotel Rochester, located at 95 Main Street West, across the street from the main Institute buildings of the downtown campus, became the Nathaniel Rochester Hall. A men's dorm, the hall housed up to 483 students. The building had eight floors of rooms including singles and doubles, most with private baths. The building was dedicated in honor of Rochester's founder, Colonel Nathaniel Rochester, on February 21, 1959, on what would have been Mr. Rochester's 207th birthday.

An exoplanet has been discovered by the research team led by University of Warwick in collaboration with University of Leicester, University of Cambridge, Queen’s University Belfast, Geneva Observatory, DLR Berlin and University of Chile. This planet which is named as NGTS-1b was spotted by help of a wide field observing facility consisting of a collection of telescopes called Next-Generation Transit Survey. And the surprising fact is the planet of size of Jupiter and mass less than 20% of it revolves around a star of size half of that sun. Not only this, another amazing fact is that it revolves around its star in every two and half day that means a year in NGTS-1b is equal to around 2.6 earth days. Observed from observatory at Northern Chile, NGTS-1b revolves around a red dwarf star which was seen faint. According to Dr. Daniel Bayliss, the lead author of the research, ” The discovery of NGTS-1b was a complete surprise to us – such massive planets were not thought to exist around such small stars”. He also said, “Our challenge is to now find out how common these types of planets are in the Galaxy.” This has led to question mark on the theory we follow on formation of a planet and has opened a new gateway of the dire need of exploring the Universe more out of our Solar System.

Gartner has recently released their top 9 strategic technology trends for 2021. The predictions were presented during their IT Symposium, which was held virtually for the first time this year due to COVID-19.
The 9 technology trends were shaped by the global pandemic and focus on three central themes: people centricity, location independence, and resilient delivery.
- Internet of Behaviors (IoB): As consumers are spending more time online, they are increasing the amount of information that can be utilized by businesses to influence behavior. With the IoB capturing more consumer data, the technology that leverages the information to draw meaningful insight will be critical in the coming year.
- Total Experience Strategy: Multiexperience (MX), customer experience (CX), and user experience (UX) are typically siloed, but with the Total Experience Strategy, organizations will leverage insights from all three to create a more personalized and holistic approach for experiences for everyone.
- Privacy Enhancing Computing: Privacy-enhancing computing concentrates on three types of technologies to safeguard data. The first provides a trusted environment where data can be analyzed. The second performs the data analytics, and the third transforms the data.
- Distributed Cloud: A distributed cloud geographically disperses infrastructure while the operation and governance continue to be the responsibility of the public cloud provider. This reduces latency issues and ensures compliance with specific data laws in regards to a specific geography.
- Anywhere Operations: Due largely in part to the novel coronavirus pandemic, employees are working remotely, and the IT model has changed. The model for anywhere operations, as Gartner predicts, is “digital first, remote first.”
- Cybersecurity Mesh: COVID-19 has dramatically accelerated the digital threat landscape, and cybersecurity measures must follow suit. Cybersecurity Mesh provides a security model that allows the identity of a person to define the security perimeter.
- Intelligent Composable Business: The pace of change is constantly accelerating, and businesses must enable better access to information, provide new insights, and respond more quickly as decisions are made.
- AI Engineering: A robust AI Engineering strategy eliminates the issues many companies face with maintainability, scalability, and governance. AI Engineering uses three core pillars: DataOps, ModelOps, and DevOps.
- Hyperautomation: Also, a trend on Gartner’s 2020 predictions list, Hyperautomation is the process in which businesses automate as many processes as possible using the technology tools available (ie. AI, machine learning, etc).

President Donald Trump last week began feuding with a Florida congresswoman over the nature of a condolence call to widow of a U.S. soldier killed in Niger, saying Rep. Frederica S. Wilson and Myeshia Johnson mischaracterized the call. Editorial cartoonist Mike Luckovich depicts Trump insulting war widows, while Nate Beeler depicts Democrats lobbing political grenades at Trump with fallen soldiers as cover.

As the war rages on…
Buffett recognizes that the US…
Russian crude oil exports by sea surged by 26% to 3.6 million barrels per day (bpd) in the week ending February 17, the highest level in more than a month, according to shipment tracking data compiled by Bloomberg.
All export terminals on the Russian Baltic, Black Sea, Arctic, and Pacific coasts saw a rise in crude oil shipments last week. The four-week average rate of exports was also higher and rebounded to 3.34 million bpd, according to the data monitored by Bloomberg. Of those, as much as 3.19 million bpd was headed to China and India, while historical data observed by Bloomberg suggests that the cargoes with destination labels of “unknown” usually arrive in India.
The weekly exports are not so reliable in identifying sustainable patterns; the four-week average could be more accurate, and it points to a rise in Russia’s seaborne crude oil exports.
Overall Russian oil exports, including crude and products, rose to 8.2 million barrels per day (bpd) in January, just ahead of the EU embargo and G7 price cap on refined products, which took effect on February 5, the International Energy Agency (IEA) said in its monthly report last week.
Crude oil exports increased by almost 300,000 bpd in January compared to December, despite a further 450,000 bpd decline in shipments to the EU, the agency said.
Russia’s announced cut of 500,000 bpd in production for March could be a sign that Moscow may be struggling to place all of its barrels, or “an attempt to shore up oil prices,” the international agency said.
This year, Russia plans to sell more than 80% of its crude oil exports to “friendly” countries, Russia’s Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said last week.
China and India are Russia’s biggest crude oil customers now. Those two major Asian importers—the world’s largest and third-largest crude importers—haven’t joined the Price Cap coalition and are thought to be buying cheap Russian crude at deep discounts to international benchmarks.

Halo 3 ODST is the latest Halo game from Bungie. Originally planned as DLC (that’s downloadable content for you greens), there’s enough spit and polish gone into this fine example of a game to push it into prime time status. A full retail release.
It don’t hurt that it also includes a Halo 3 multiplayer disc. The full Halo 3 multiplayer suite as if you were playing the original and it’s fully backwards compatible. Anyone out there tho didn’t jump in on the original Halo 3’s “map packs” can get them n’ more here. That makes this disc shiny and your Halo 3 disc all manner of useless.
For the fans who did pony up the dough, you’re fan enough to appreciate the main adventure. For fans who don’t care about playing Halo multiplayer, this title ain’t for you. It may be the best Halo single-player campaign, but make no mistake: this is still Halo.
I finally beat Gears of War 2. I played through the entire campaign on Hardcore difficulty, co-op with Detnap. Together we defeated the 5 Acts of the campaign, each more varied than the one before. For any fan of Gears 1, Gears 2 is a must-play, and easy to recommend to any fan of shooter mechanics. However, despite accessibility, Gears 2 is not as easy to jump into.

Department of the Army Historical Summary: FY 1992
Through its major troop units, the Army in FY 1992 rendered its most visible service to the nation, whether by deploying forces to troubled areas or by maintaining a high level of readiness to deter potential aggressors. Army forces deterred aggression and defused crises by forward presence, security assistance, peacekeeping, and support to civil authorities. Army units overseas demonstrated the nation's commitment to its allies. They also cultivated relationships that promoted understanding and made available land bases from which the Army could project power as necessary. The Army carried out these tasks in the midst of the largest drawdown in force structure and installations since the Vietnam War, a process that resulted in a high turnover of personnel and strained the ability of many units and facilities to maintain routine operations. The Army's performance of these missions, without fanfare, almost every day throughout the fiscal year demonstrated that even in peace the Army required a high standard of readiness.
The U.S. Army in the Continental United States
As forward-deployed forces shrank, the Army increasingly relied on the readiness of units based in the continental United States to respond to crises. Forces Command (FORSCOM) at Fort McPherson, Georgia, controlled 80 percent of the Army's total ground combat strength and was responsible for training and deploying forces based within the continental United States. Operating eighteen major and seventeen lesser installations, FORSCOM had authority over active and reserve component forces. FORSCOM units included the nation's only airborne and air assault divisions, the 82d Airborne Division and 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault), as well as two light divisions, ten heavy divisions, two cadre divisions, and hundreds of logistics and service units to support this combat force.
The U.S. Army based its power projection force on FORSCOM formations, with additional "follow-on units" serving as reinforcements.
The I and III Corps and the XVIII Airborne Corps represented FORSCOM's contribution to the active Army's power projection or contingency force, which could draw on an airborne division, an air assault division, a light infantry division, and two armored or mechanized infantry divisions. A National Guard brigade would reinforce each of the contingency force's heavy divisions. Three additional active Army heavy divisions provided the early reinforcement for the deployed contingency force. Each division contained two brigades and would "round out" its organization with a National Guard brigade in time of crisis. Reserve component units remaining in FORSCOM will contribute a light division, five heavy divisions, and two cadre divisions as a sustainment force for possible conflicts.
Two of FORSCOM's corps had long enjoyed status as key elements of the Army's contingency force. The XVIII Airborne Corps stationed at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, deployed forces to Panama during Operation JUST CAUSE, and in 1990 it helped safeguard Saudi Arabia from possible Iraqi invasion during Operation DESERT SHIELD. During Operation DESERT STORM, the corps elements formed the left hook of the armored thrust which defeated the Iraqi Army and helped liberate Kuwait. The III Corps at Fort Hood, Texas, enjoyed the reputation as FORSCOM's armored force headquarters. Although the headquarters did not deploy during the Gulf War, the corps had contributed the 1st Cavalry Division, the 1st Infantry Division, a brigade of the 2d Armored Division, and numerous support units to DESERT STORM.
During the year, the I Corps at Fort Lewis, Washington, devoted greater emphasis to its role as a contingency force. The I Corps was the corps headquarters that would deploy rapidly in response to any contingencies in the Pacific. Its main combat unit, the 7th Infantry Division (Light), began a change of station from Fort Ord, California, to Fort Lewis during the fiscal year. The Base Realignment and Closure Commission had decided to close Fort Ord, and the Army wanted a full active division at Fort Lewis after the inactivation of the 9th Infantry Division. At Fort Lewis, the 7th Division joined the 199th Infantry Brigade (Motorized), which had replaced the 9th Infantry Division there in early 1991. Other major headquarters units at Fort Lewis included the 35th Air Defense Artillery Brigade and the 201st Military Intelligence Brigade. Although they were part of the U.S. Army Special Operations Command, the 1st Special Forces Group and the 2d Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment, also were stationed at Fort Lewis with the I Corps. The corps' headquarters and headquarters battery was an Army National Guard unit based in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Given the lessons of the Gulf War and the emerging national defense strategy, the Army decided to increase the number of active Army units
permanently attached to the I Corps so that it could deploy for contingencies on short notice without the need for a reserve component mobilization. Since the Army was reducing its troop strength in Europe and needed to station many of its new or returning units in new locations, it sent many of those units to Fort Lewis. These

Watch a Group of Humpback Whales Bubble Feed from Birdseye View
by Owen James Burke
Screenshot from AkXpro Productions
Drones, drones, drones. We know, but every so often someone captures something new with them. AkXpro Productions posted this footage to vimeo last month after it was captured off Alaska, where humpback whales gorge themselves on herring using a technique known to humans as “bubble feeding,” in which they dive below a shoal of fish and spill their lungs in order to produce millions of tiny bubbles, which look like those that come from an aerator pump. Collectively, if the group produces enough of a pattern and manages to encircle the fish, they become confused, and more susceptible to ambush. The whales then synchronistically spring for the heavens — mouths agape — and collect handsomely.
Watch the drone footage here:

DBQ - Democracy in Colonial America Essay Democracy was a work in progress with democratic and undemocratic features in colonial America. A democratic feature of Colonial America would be, Control of the abuse of power. Control of the Abuse is where there was just too much power. The governor has the power to administer justice they are trying to keep him from having too much power by limiting the time he can be governor “Doc 3 The fundamental orders of connecticut 3”. Economic Freedom is a undemocratic feature of Colonial America.
He issued a report on Public Credit arguing for financing public debt and proposing excise taxes He favored taxes on imported goods, such as shoes and textiles. He believed that these taxes would raise money for the government and encourage the American industries to grow. These taxes would help to pay foreign nation debt that incurred over the Revolutionary War, and also would help to keep the centralized government up and running. The Democratic Republicans opposed Hamilton’s proposal by imposing international tariffs and funding American economic
In “Jackson Battles the Bank”, Jackson shows that he promotes equal rights because of his destruction of the national bank. The national bank only supported the wealthy, and Jackson believed that we should have banks that also support the farmers and workers. In destroying the national bank, he created state banks that supported the people's’ needs. In “The Nullification Crisis”, Jackson shows that he gave peace and stability to the nation to form a strong democracy. This is because he did not approve of nullification, and wanted to keep the country together as a whole instead of divided states.
Describe two weakness of the Articles of Confederation and explain how each was addressed in the Constitution. Government could not tax the people. This was crucial because following the Revolutionary War of 1775, the American government was in great debt. The lack of funds to pay the soldiers influenced Shay’s rebellion. This was inspired to create enumerated powers of congress.
1984 Synthesis Essay Poverty negatively influences how the minds of people work in the world. The fact that poverty exists itself, obstructs people from changing their circumstances in what is known as “the cycle of poverty.” The lower class is incredibly disadvantaged in that it lacks the necessary social and economic resources needed to increase chances of social mobility. In return, the absence of these resources may increase poverty. Therefore, the lower class is unable to change its situation because the majority believes that any efforts to climb the social ladder is highly inefficient. In the novel 1984, George Orwell illustrates a classic example of why the proles are reluctant to change their lifestyle-simply because the costs outweighs
Should the law be a higher priority than one’s own morals? Henry David Thoreau, a well-known American Transcendentalist, once wrote that “the government itself, which is the only mode which people have chosen to execute their will is equally liable to be abused and perverted before people can act through it” (A1). After witnessing many unjust and immoral activities, such as slavery and the Mexican-American war (something he viewed as unnecessary violence fueled by avarice for land), Thoreau lost faith in the government. In order for people to avoid becoming “agents of injustice” themselves, he encouraged them to act according to their conscience rather than blindly following the law. Although I believe that in an ideal world people should
Leah, Great post! Merton argues that one of the main reasons for high crime rates in America is due to the goal for monetary success and the limitations which hinder individuals from reaching that goal. The deprivation of basic life essentials like skills and values which are needed to succeed in life may cause one to engage in crime (Cullen, Agnew, & Wilcox, 2014, p. 168). According to Merton, when strain is placed on an individual there are five ways in which they may adapt to it (Cullen, Agnew, & Wilcox, 2014, p. 177). Do you think if strain and stresses did not affect individuals while perusing monetary goals, there would still be high rates of crime?
Criticism of Merton’s Strain Theory One critique of the strain theory is how it overemphasis the position of the social class in regards to crime and deviance. As we know, the strain theory applies mainly to the American lower class as they struggle the most. Our lower class are faced with the lack of resources to help them reconcile their goals. However, by looking at the variation of deviant and criminal behavior, the strain theory does not adequately account for any type of crimes besides the normal street or neighborhood crimes. Additionally, crimes that are considered as being white collar, in which they are known in our middle and upper-classes.
Authoritarian rulers fail to prevent humans from returning to that state. An example of this would be the revolution within the United States. When the U.S. was still English colonies, the colonist felt that King George was creating laws that were unfair to them, and only benefit him

The court had already said that the Dera would have to foot the bill for the properties damaged in the violence.
Chandigarh: Punjab chief minister Amarinder Singh on Monday said that the state would file a claim before the high court for the recovery of the expenditure incurred in the deployment of Central armed forces from the Dera Sacha Sauda. The Central government would bill the state for the same, which in turn would submit it to the high court for necessary action, he said.
The court had already said that the Dera would have to foot the bill for the properties damaged in the violence following the conviction of Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh in a rape case.
The CM has appealed to the people to accept the court verdict, sentencing Ram Rahim to 20 years of rigorous imprisonment, while promising that his government would continue to maintain a constant vigil to ensure that peace is maintained in the state.

Summer’s long, sunny days and the cool, crisp days of fall are the perfect time to do maintenance that protects your roof from winter’s roar.
"Winter is very hard on a roof system due to temperature variation, freeze/thaw conditions, and snow loading," says Kevin Ernster, a registered roof consultant (RRC) and vice-president of Benchmark, Inc. "You want to make sure your roof can tolerate this environment, and make repairs before the snow hits, as it can be very difficult to make repairs to a leaky roof when covered with a couple feet of snow."
The most common cause of winter damage to a roof is the continuous freeze/thaw cycle. This cycle damages the roof by:
1. Affecting the tensile properties of installed materials. This can cause splitting, ridging, and blisters, allowing water to enter into the roof assembly.
2. Ice caused by ponding adds weight that compromises the structural integrity of the roof and can damage the membrane.
3. The "scrubbing" of the roof surface by ice formations that move with the change in temperature can cause considerable damage to the membrane.
4. Exacerbating any defects in the roof – the older and more damaged your roof is, the more effect that freeze/thaw/freeze will have.
In addition, "If your drains are not cleaned, they can become blocked with debris; if water has no place to go, it will build up on the roof," explains Ernster. "The weight of this water, combined with any snow load, can place tremendous pressure on the structure of a building, and can result in collapse."
What You Do to Winterize
Take these three steps to prepare your roof for winter.
1. Locate your leaks. "Identify all active leaks from the building interior and inspect the roof at the leak locations," Ernster says. Leaks are especially difficult to locate with concrete decks, ballasted roofs, and recovered roofs.
2. Inspect in detail. Inspections help outline the conditions of the roof, reveal minor issues before they become leaks, and prepare your roof for the extreme freeze/thaw conditions of a typical northern winter, says Lynn Picone, senior product manager at GAF Materials Corporation. "Many roofing contractors provide this service at a minimal cost, much less than a single typical roof repair." The cost of the inspection is minimal when compared to the cost of repairs needed due to winter damage. "If you hire an inspection, $0.01–.08 cents per square foot should cover winterizing costs, depending on the size and complexity of your roof," explains Ernster.
3. Repair … and prepare. Repair the problems found during the inspection. "You want to do routine repairs, basically ‘button up’ your roof system, so that any point of water entry into the insulation and into the underlying roof system is closed up," explains Mike DeBrincat, director of operations for Building Technology Associates. Make sure perimeter flashings are securely attached. Ensure penetration flashings around ducts, curbs, and skylights are not loose, open at the top, or have any voids in the seams. Sheet metal should be secure and all seam areas should be sealed. Clear all gutters, downspouts, and scuppers, says Picone. Also clean out your drains and make sure they are working properly.
Preparing includes making sure your budget has the money needed for roof repair. "Often times a roof inspection is completed, but money for repairs is not available," says Ernster. "It is important that budgets have an allowance for fall roof repairs."
‘Tis the Season
Start worrying about winterizing your roof before the winter season in your area. "Your geographic location, how early your winter typically begins, and the intensity of your winter dictates starting the winterizing process anytime between September and the end of November," recommends Ernster. You want to allow plenty of time to inspect your roof and make needed repairs. Brisk, fall temperatures are perfect for roofing work. "Typically for roofing work you want temperatures in the 30 degree to 40 degrees or more," he recommends. "However, if the sun is shining, the temperatures can be cooler than this."
If your area escapes cold winter temperatures and snow, that doesn’t mean that your roof can escape the "winterizing" process. "Unless your building is abandoned and you do not care what happens to it, or you live in southern Florida or the southwest desert, winterizing is recommended," Ernster says. "Even in these situations, you should inspect your roof twice a year as if you are planning to winterize it."

Clement Francis is a well-known wildlife photographer from Bangalore. Since childhood, he was fascinated by nature and wildlife, especially birds. He chose wildlife photography to spread awareness about nature conservation and importance of wildlife for the ecosystem. His proficiency in photography has been appreciated nationally with his nomination for the 9th Annual Teacher’s Achievement Awards (2009) in the Communication Photography category. He is the only wildlife photographer to have been nominated for this award. Clement has also contributed to books like ‘Birds in our Lives’, ‘Important Bird Areas of India’ and many more. To know more about his work, visit www.clementfrancis.com
As told to Rohinton Mehta
What are the fascinating aspects of birds unknown to common people? Which one intrigues you the most?
Their flight! Birds have conquered almost all the possible habitats that exist on planet earth. You go to the Himalayas or the Thar Desert or riverine habitats or grasslands; you always find different bird species living there. Their flight just mesmerises me. Also, one cannot define freedom better than birds – they migrate across continents at will, they appear at the most unexpected places and they just consume you by doing the things that you least expect them to do. You can see the smallest of the warblers, for example the greenish Leaf Warbler – a common winter visitor to almost the entire Indian subcontinent – breed in the Arctic Circle; it’s only one third the size of a house sparrow. When it chirps in your garden in October, the common man overlooks it most of the time, but for a birder and photographer like me, I am awestruck; how could a tiny bird of around 10grams migrate tens of thousands of miles?
I am definitely fascinated more by the raptors. They are species of birds that prey on other animals and birds. Eagles, Hawks and Falcons belong to this group. The Peregrine falcon for example reaches speeds of more than 300kms during its hunting dive. The Bonelli’s eagle is very close to my heart – if you see one hunting a large prey like a black-necked hare or grey heron or even a peacock, you are overwhelmed by its power, tenacity, single- minded approach and commitment. So when you get a good picture of them, it is a very satisfying `feeling; you are on top of the world!
According to you, what are the qualities of an ideal bird photographer?
This is completely my opinion. Other bird photographers may differ here:
• First and foremost, the bird photographer should be a nature lover and should have a heart of a conservationist. The subject should always come first.
• Patience surely is a virtue one should have.
• Knowledge about the subject that you are photographing is a must. The photographer should read books, field notes and always ask the experts with the intention to learn more.
• One should not be award-hungry or running behind laurels. Awards and laurels will come once you are a good photographer!
• The photographer should have the quality of sharing his work with others. Nature gives everything free, so he/ she should always be willing to share their work (pictures and writings) with anyone who asks.
• One should visit the same place again and again, so that he or she gets expertise about that habitat and the chances of getting good pictures increases to a great extent.
What are the challenges other than the agility of the bird that can create trouble for photographers?
• The main challenge is light. It plays the most important role in getting good images.
• The position of the bird with respect to the camera. You may find the most cooperative bird but if the angle of the bird is wrong, you just cannot do anything about it.
• The same species of the bird can be bold in some areas and very shy in others. So if you are in areas where hunting and disturbance is high, photography can be a total disappointment. For example, few species of flycatchers in western Himalayas are very bold and the same species in North East are very shy due to over- hunting.
• Travel also consumes you. For example if I have to photograph the Monal Pheasant, I being a southerner, would have to travel all the way to the north!
How much importance do you place on equipment? What equipment do you carry? Do you also believe in using a tripod for such kind of pictures?
• Equipment definitely plays a great role in the quality of pictures one can shoot on the field. A fast autofocus pro lens like the 600mm f/4 or 500mm f/4 or even a 300mm f/2.8 with a good camera that can provide more than 6 frames per second is the best one can use for bird photography. I would say that if anyone wants

students in pairs and pass out the following to each pair: a
protractor, a small weight or washer, a piece of string or dental floss
4–6 inches long, a drinking straw, and 2 or 3 short pieces of tape.
Explain that they will be measuring the height of a tall building, such
as the school building. Ask students to brainstorm how to measure
objects that are taller than a person using only the materials
provided. List the ideas on the board and discuss which ideas are
practical and reasonable ways to measure the building.
Draw an isosceles right triangle on the board with one leg
drawn on the bottom horizontally. Ask students questions to introduce
the properties of an isosceles right triangle. Here are some questions
you may choose to ask the class:
- What does "isosceles" mean?
[Two sides of the triangle are congruent.]
- What does "right" mean?
[One angle of the triangle has a measure of 90°.]
- Can you identify the congruent sides and right angle?
[Have a student volunteer label the appropriate parts of the triangle.]
- Do we know anything about the other angles of the triangle? Can we figure out their measures?
[They are both 45°.]
Relate these properties back to the challenge of measuring the
height of a building with the given materials, and ask for new or
revised ideas on how to accomplish the task. Finally, introduce the
idea of using a clinometer if it has not already been suggested. Pass
out one Building Height Activity Sheet to each pair of students. Read through the directions on
the first page and ensure that students understand how a clinometer
Building Height Activity Sheet
Help each pair of students create their clinometer. Direct them to follow the steps provided on the Clinometer Construction Overhead. Create a clinometer along with students, step-by-step, at the front of the room.
Clinometer Construction Overhead
Before going outside, read through the activity sheet again and
address any student questions. Once outside, direct students to a
specific area of the school building. Decide on a common definition of
“height of the school” for students to measure, which will vary
depending on the architecture of the building being measured. Allow
students to find the height of the building following the instructions
on the activity sheet. Once students are finished taking their
measurements, go back to the classroom and collect data from each team.
Each team should put their measurement for the height of the building
on the board, and then record the data from the board onto the chart on
page 2 of the activity sheet.
Lead a whole class discussion of the results, using the following questions as a guideline:
- Were the answers from the groups the same or different? Why do you think this is?
[There will most likely be variation among the answers from
different teams. Explanations for this will vary, but possible answers
could include accuracy in measurement, difficulty in reading the
clinometer accurately, or precision in measurement (such as rounding
- Does a person’s height affect the measurement of the building height?
[No, measuring eye-level height accounts for a possible
difference. A person 2 inches taller than another will stand 2 inches
closer to the building when taking the measurement.]
Direct teams to complete the Questions 3–5 on the activity sheet.
Circulate among the pairs and provide assistance as needed. You may
want to give hints for Questions 4 and 5, but do not provide direct
answers. Once most pairs have finished, ask volunteers to put up their
calculations for the mean, median, and mode, showing their work. Then
have a class discussion about Questions 4 and 5. Use the following as a
- What measure of central tendency (mean, median, or mode) best represents the "average" height? (Question 4)
[Answers will vary, but students should choose either the
mean or the median. If there is an outlier, median would be best. If
there are no outliers, mean would be the best value to report.]
- How could you improve the accuracy of the measurements? (Question 5)
[Answers will vary. Students may suggest standing still and using a more precise protractor.]

Abby Goldberg – Grayslake, IL.
Inspired by the harmful impact of plastic pollution in our oceans and waterways, Abby, 13, set out to ban plastic bags in her northeast Illinois community. But, faced with a proposed state bill that would forbid towns from banning plastic bags, Abby took her fight to state legislators through her “Don't Let Big Plastic Bully Me” campaign on Change.org. Her petition gathered over 174,000 signatures and influenced the Governor’s veto of the state bag bill in August 2012. Since then, Abby has testified in favor of a new Chicago check-out bag ordinance, which would ban plastic bags at Chicago stores.

This story is beautifully heartbreaking. Tom Hanks and Sandra Bullock are wonderful as Oskar's outgoing, amiable father and his mother, struggling but so strong. Zoe Caldwell, Max von Sydow, John Goodman, Viola Davis, and many more vibrant actors populate this world of family members and friends and strangers and pieces of the puzzle. But, most of all, Thomas Horn in the lead role is astounding. His portrayal of this grieving child, who is also almost certainly on the autism spectrum, is so exquisite, so detailed, so evolved, that I have trouble even after finishing the film thinking of him as anyone but Oskar Schell.
Fantastic work by Stephen Daldry (who also directed Billy Elliot and The Hours), the extensive cast, and what must be a great crew, who pulled off an entertaining film where you'll actually laugh and cry, and who never once make you feel like you're watching a Lifetime special. Bravo.

Catch up with current theories on a major public health menace! Adolescent smoking has increasingly become a concern as a public health issue, yet the theoretical and empirical literature in the area remains skimpy. Nicotine Addiction Among Adolescents furnishes researchers and medical professionals with a comprehensive overview of current theories and statistics. Moreover, it offers fresh empirical research as well as suggestions for promising avenues of investigation. The first half of Nicotine Addiction Among Adolescents provides a solid conceptual and practical context for studying adolescent nicotine addiction, drawing on the most advanced scholarly studies of why teenagers start smoking and the process of addiction. The second half evaluates nicotine replacement therapy, smoking interventions among substance-abusing adolescents, and smoking among teenage girls. Nicotine Addiction Among Adolescents addresses all phases of adolescent tobacco use. This valuable guide details: the pharmacological, psychological, and developmental factors that influence teen smoking behavior the hidden connection between depression, gender, and cigarettes the grounds for the debate over whether most teens become addicted to nicotine emerging practices and methods to help adolescents stop smoking links between smoking and other kinds of substance abuse ways to improve prevention and intervention programs unanswered questions about teenage smoking that demand further research Nicotine Addiction Among Adolescents recognizes the need for developmentally sensitive approaches for conceptualizing and treating nicotine addiction and offers you thought-provoking strategies and models that will spark future research.

Time-dependent ellipsometric measurements were made of the water absoprtion in SiO2 films grown by chemical vapour deposition at low temperatures. These films were exposed to water vapour at different pressurures. We determined in the ellipsometric volume percentage of water in the oxide film from the changes in the ellipsometric parameters due to water absorption. We also obtained a diffusion coefficient of water of the order of 1.3 x 10-13 cm2 s-1. From the reversible changes in the ellipsometric parameters due to dehydration we conclude that the water is physically adsorbed.

PUBLICATION: Water Security for Development–A Development Imperative
A publication from the Global Water Partnership:
A continuation of a fragmented approach will be disastrous for our planet. More clarity is needed, however, on how Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) can best be implemented as a set of principles and as a process. This requires an expansion rather than a narrowing of views and approaches, argues the Global Water Partnership in a new Perspectives Paper, “Increasing Water Security – A Development Imperative”. The paper draws on country experiences around the world and points out keys for success in moving forward with the adaptive process of IWRM for sustainable development.
The recommendations in the paper do not directly address the challenge of delivering services for water supply, sanitation, and irrigation. Rather, they focus on the fundamental process of improving the management of water resources that lies at the heart of increasing water security:
- Ensuring the availability of adequate and reliable water resources of acceptable quality, to underpin water service provision for all social and economic activity in a manner that is environmentally sustainable;
- Mitigating water-related risks such as flood, drought and pollution; and
- Addressing the conflicts that may arise from disputes over shared waters, especially in situations of growing stress.

As a young boy, I was extremely sporty and competitive, which I suppose was expected considering I grew up with 3 brothers! Taking part in numerous sport clubs, I joined the Egham Karate Club at 7, training under Dave Austin. Although at first, I was more inclined to cause mischief with my brother, I soon came into my own and started rising through the grades, passing my 1st dan at the age of 13 and most recently achieving my 4th dan in 2019.
At 16, I was invited to teach at the Woking Karate Club, after already gaining teaching experience at the Egham Karate Club. At the age of 18, the club rebranded as the Rising Sun Karate Academy, with myself as the chief instructor.
I’ve had a successful career competing. Under the watchful eye of Frank Brennan, I was a member of the KUGB England squad since the age of 14.
As a professional karate instructor, I’ve travelled to various countries, experiencing different methods of training and extending my understanding of traditional and sport karate.

The Signatories support the European regulatory authorities in producing a robust, harmonised, EU-wide regulatory safety framework that enables the safe, secure, efficient and fair integration of drones in the aviation system, and fosters broad public acceptance. Since the Drones Helsinki Declaration in 2017, which called for simple and performance-based rules for drones, significant progress has been made in developing and delivering a regulatory framework that will support the safe and sustainable growth of the drone industry. However, in order to facilitate the integration of drones in very low-level airspace (i.e. below 500 ft) and preserve the high level of safety in the entire European airspace, we jointly call to accelerate the implementation of the following measures.
1. Extensive public awareness campaign The general public, including recreational/occasional drone users, as well as commercial clients, must be aware of the safety risks, duties, liabilities, insurance requirements, responsibilities and third-party privacy issues associated with drone operations. These are essential requirements as lack of awareness and negligence could result in safety incidents and accidents. Therefore, more resources must be dedicated to this aspect of drone integration in the airspace.
2. Mandatory training and certificate/license relevant to operations The obligation for drone pilots to obtain a certificate or license aligned with EU regulation – depending on the properties, performance and features of the drone – creates awareness and mandates knowledge of the applicable regulations and restrictions as well as helping to develop the necessary skills. Practical training and theoretical knowledge requirements for unmanned aircraft pilots constitute an important safety net to prevent drone incidents or accidents. A solid knowledge and skills base is therefore a must, considering the complexity of the national and European airspaces and related aviation regulations. We are all one in the sky There is only one sky and all stakeholders, new and traditional, need to collaborate to keep it safe, secure, efficient and fair. The Signatories
The undersigned ATM Professional Staff Organisations note with great regret yet another attack of Airlines for Europe (A4E) on the European Air Traffic Management in the form of a joint letter of A4E member airlines’ CEOs to the European Air Navigation Service providers (ANSPs). The letter enumerates a number of ATM-related issues as cause for the delays.
Today, unmanned aircraft are being used among other things for aerial filming and photographing, safety inspections of pipelines or buildings or by farmers. Tests are being performed for delivery of goods or even transport of passengers.
The Aviation Strategy for Europe presented by the Commission in December 2015 states: "unmanned aircraft share the same airspace with other aircraft [and therefore] the safety of their operations must remain coherent with the overall aviation safety policy. Finally, unmanned aircraft operations must also be consistent with air traffic rules as laid down in the Common Rules of the Air."
Due to the rapid development of RPAS, the ETF strongly supports the inclusion of RPAS into the scope of the EASA Basic Regulation, as well as other regulatory initiatives aiming to ensure a safe co-existence of manned aircraft and RPAS in line with the principle "one sky – one safety".

ETF CO-SIGNS THE JOINT STAKEHOLDER STATEMENT ON DRONES
The ETF has joined other stakeholders from manned aviation in the call for a robust harmonized EU-wide regulatory safety framework for drones. The signatories also expressed their serious concern about the safety of manned aircraft in controlled and uncontrolled airspace.
At the same time, the ETF expects that all the safety and security aspects of drone operations will be addressed in the current revision of the EASA Basic Regulation.
The Remote Tower technology is advancing rapidly. It is important that regulators, Air Navigation Service Providers and staff engage on the subject to ensure that where remote towers are deployed, they are done so in a way that is safe, measured and with the appropriate consideration for staff. The technology has advanced ahead of proper regulation and a consistent and considered effort is now required by all stakeholders to ensure the appropriate regulatory environment is created. The social consequences need to be properly considered and the arising issues must be addressed. Whilst the ETF is generally supportive of the concept, provided it is deployed taking in to consideration the themes contained in this document, the ETF absolutely rejects the concept of simultaneous operations, i.e. the operation of more than one airport at the same time by one person. The ETF will continue to engage with all stakeholders and take a leading role as Remote Tower technology becomes more widely introduced

LUBBOCK, Texas — KAMC Meteorologist Jacob Riley has your Monday morning forecast. Sponsored by J Ferg Pros.
Today: Warm & breezy. High of 92°. Winds SW 25-35 MPH.
Tonight: Cool & breezy. Low of 50°. Winds SW/NW, 15-25 MPH.
Tomorrow: Breezy & warm. High of 89°. Winds ENE 20-30 MPH.
High pressure will continue to dominate our weather pattern throughout the week. A weak cold front will pass through the South Plains Monday night into Tuesday, shifting our winds to the east by Tuesday morning. High temperatures will still remain in the upper 80s and lower 90s, with winds gusting upwards of 40 MPH. Overnight lows are expected to remain in the middle 40s to lower 60s across the region.
This weekend, we will be watching for the potential of a strong cold front Sunday night into Monday morning. This will cool us off next week, and bring us a passing shower or two. No significant rainfall is expected. We will also keep a close eye on the Gulf of Mexico, as newly formed Tropical Storm Delta will have the potential to make landfall along the Gulf Coast. We will keep you advised.
Have a fantastic week!

The Shimano Shoe Fit System
Introduced into the store at the beginning of 2009 the Shimano Shoe Fit System custom molds Shimano Cycling shoes* to exactly the shape of your fit.
The process creates a shoe which is unique for you and will result in the most comfortable cycling shoe you have ever worn.
The fit process begins by warming the shoe insole in the oven and then molding it to the shape of the foot. Once the insole is set the actual shoe itself is heated and then formed and molded to the shape of the foot.
The entire process is takes approximately 30 minutes and we require that you bring a pair of cycling socks which cover your ankles. If you do not have socks we can provide you with a pair for a nominal cost.
As foot size can vary by up to half a shoe size from morning to afternoon it is best to have shoes molded in the early afternoon as this is when foot size will be most stable.

In a July 24 e-mail to Access Hollywood host Billy Bush, the 21-year-old actress wrote "I am innocent...did not do drugs they're not mine. I was almost hit by my assistant Taryn's mom I appreciate everyone giving me my privacy."
Lohan was arrested and released on bail early that morning in Santa Monica for driving under the influence, driving with a suspended license, and felony cocaine possession. The arrest occurred less than two weeks after she completed her second stint at a rehab facility.
Police found cocaine in one of Lohan's pockets during a pre-booking search, according to Sgt. Shane Talbot. Police initially said Lohan was being booked for transportation of a narcotic, but later said she was not.
Authorities received a 911 emergency call from the mother of Lohan's former personal assistant saying that Lohan was chasing her in a sport utility vehicle.
The assistant had reportedly quit hours before. Lohan still faces charges of driving under the influence, stemming from a May hit-and-run crash in Beverly Hills.
Her attorney, Blair Berk, said she was wearing an alcohol-detecting ankle bracelet since her July 13 from a rehab facility, and received daily sobriety tests. She said Lohan had relapsed and was receiving medical care at an undisclosed location. Lohan's publicist, Leslie Sloane Zelnik, had no comment.

The beginning of the film ‘Contact’ provoked awe when I first watched it, on a trip to Boston in 1997. It is the ultimate in ‘pull-back shots’, beginning from the surface of the earth and just going back, and back, and back, and back. Out of the solar system, past the heliosphere, through the Milky Way, beyond the point where our galaxy is just a small dot in a haze of other galaxies. I had thought that I had a good sense for the scale of the universe, but when I lost my sense of depth about three-quarters of the way through the sequence, I realised that I had been deluding myself. The sense of scale that we need to try to comprehend when we consider our position in the universe is quite possibly unattainable to the human mind. Our Galaxy, the Milky Way, has some 400 billion stars. There may be 125 billion galaxies in the universe. There are probably more stars than there are grains of sand on earth. I find these numbers meaninglessly large.
As well as the difference in size of the universe that we are living in, there is a difference in the scale of time of comparable scale. Whereas when the church was getting established, it was considered that the world was created, in roughly the form it has now, some few thousand years ago – and it’s end would be a similar number of years in the future – we now consider that in fact the earth was created some 4.6 billion years ago, the universe perhaps some 15 billion years ago, and we do not have any conception of when it will end, if indeed that question has meaning.
Perhaps we need Monty Python to help us through:
In the light of the arguments that I make, contemplation of these facts provokes some questions – and perhaps a little smile. “When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; What is man, that thou art mindful of him?”
The Christian understanding of the world was born in an environment radically different to the one that we inhabit today. For in traditional language, Christians look forward to the resurrection of the dead on the last day. This says something very important about our bodily future – that our existence as embodied beings now will somehow be recognised on that last day. Also in traditional terms, that last day will come after the apocalypse, when the last trump shall sound, the anti-christ shall be overthrown and Jesus will return to judge the living and the dead. The early Christians – such as Paul, who writes about this in his letter to the Thessalonians – believed that this last judgement would happen in their lifetimes. Of course, we are still waiting.
This hope or expectation of a last judgement is something which has been of great comfort to many believers over the years, and I would not wish to argue against it. What I would say, however, is that it is not something which I find moving – it is not something that reaches into my heart, it is not something that makes a difference to how I shape my life. It is no part of my dreams. My point is to do with the ‘background drama’ against which we might understand the story of Jesus of Nazareth. The early church placed that story in the setting of their culture, and we must do the same. Our culture has radically changed its conception of time and space, and our understanding of the significance of Jesus must change too.
It is rather as if we were watching a Punch and Judy show, and we were caught up in the drama, and that small stage bounded our world. And suddenly we were pulled back to see that this stage was placed in the centre circle at Wembley Stadium – the story just doesn’t have the same imaginative impact any more. And then we are pulled back to a satellite orbiting above London, and the question of what is going on in the Punch and Judy show on some grass in North West London has to do something really rather remarkable if it is going to attract our attention. And then we pull back… and pull back.
Our imaginations, in terms of time and space, are set to a different scale. And my imagination – my capacity to dream – is engaged more by an episode of Star Trek than by a consideration of the Book of Revelation. The psychological dramas of our society are no longer played out through cosmic apocalyptic imagery, but through projection onto the white screen of the future. Perhaps the apocalypse will come, the last trumpet will sound, and the four horsemen will come riding out. Or perhaps not. I am quite confident that it will not happen in my life time (although if, at the end of all things my Lord raises me up, I shall indeed be delighted) but in any case, I think that it is a mistake to live expecting the apocalypse at some point in our own lifetime. Jesus said that no one knows

This study demonstrates that the use of high field 1H NMR spectroscopy permits individual detection of phosphatidylcholine and sphingomyelin molecules at the surface of native low density lipoprotein (LDL) particles. Distinct behaviour was observed for the choline head group -N(CH3)3 resonances of these different phospholipids revealing preferential immobilisation for phosphatidylcholine. This suggests the existence of reversible and irreversible phosphatidylcholine-apolipoprotein B interactions and is consistent with microdomain formation at the surface monolayer of LDL. The novel resonance assignment and results show that 1H NMR can provide efficient and practical means for future studies on the structure and dynamics at the LDL surface.
