Then, keep the flash mob going by sending as many #BoehnerFail tweets as possible right away. The flash mob will go on as long as the #BoehnerFail tweets continue—and with your help, we’ll make the #BoehnerFail hashtag permanent. Here are some sample #BoehnerFail tweets:
@SpeakerBoehner still hasn’t paid workers for Rep. John Mica’s FAA shutdown. Huge #BoehnerFail.
The jobs crisis is rightfully a “make or break” issue for voters. Because what happens on the jobs crisis won’t just determine who wins the next election—or who has a job today—but the kind of country America becomes for our children and our grandchildren.
Republicans in Congress ran for office on job creation promises. But since taking office, they have been a complete failure in that regard. It’s shocking that Republicans broke their promises so quickly—and so lightly—when so many across America are out of work.
It’s hard to blame any one person for such massive failure. But there is one man who is in charge of the U.S. House of Representatives and controls its agenda—he alone decides what gets brought to the floor for a vote.
Speaker Boehner needs be held accountable. He refused to bring bills that would create jobs to the floor of the House. And he abused voters’ trust—dragging America through the mud with his manufactured, debt ceiling “crisis.” We hope you’ll help call him out on it by joining the #BoehnerFail Twitter Flash Mob.

India will vaccinate 300 million people including the elderly and those with co-morbidities against COVID-19 in the next few months, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Thursday.
Addressing the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) Davos Dialogue on via video conferencing, the Prime Minister said there are two ‘Made in India’ vaccines against coronavirus and many more vaccines will come from India in the time to come.
“In just 12 days, India has vaccinated more than 2.3 million healthcare workers. In the next some months, we will achieve our target of vaccinating 300 million elderly people and people with comorbidities,” the Prime Minister said.
“Right now there are two ‘Made in India’ vaccines. World Economic Forum will be relieved to know that in the time to come many more vaccines will come from India,” he added.
India began a nationwide vaccination drive against the coronavirus on January 16.
An estimated 3 crore people will be vaccinated in the first phase in the largest vaccination drive in the world. (ANI)

Pharmacoeconomics: theory and practice
№2, 2019, Vol.7
In the pharmacoeconomic study, a comparative analysis of the insulin delivery was carried out: continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) (using the Accu-Check Combo system as an example) in comparison with multiple daily injections (MDI) using pens in the treatment T1DM, as well as determining the economic consequences (cost-effectiveness analysis, impact budget analysis) of their application. This study was carried out by modeling with a time horizon of 15 years. As a result of the cost-effectiveness analysis, it was found that CSII is characterized by better efficiency (9,45 QALY), compared with MDI therapy patients with T1DM (8,70 QALY). The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) is 1 100 503 rub / QALY, which is within the threshold of willingness to pay and, therefore, MDI is a cost-effectiveness analysis therapy. The switching from MDI therapy to CSII for the healthcare system requires additional funding of 54 749 rubles per year per patient and 821 228 rubles per patient for 15 years (excluding discounting).
As part of this work, a pharmacoeconomic study of drugs used in enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) of patients with mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) type II: idursulfase and idursulfase beta was carried out. As a result, it was found that the use of the drug idursulfase beta, is a more pharmacoeconomically beneficial treatment regimen for patients with MPS type II. Saving money when switching one patient from idursulfase to idursulfase beta makes up for one year - 7 377 746 rubles, for 5 years - 36 888 728 rubles. During the budget impact analysis, it was determined that an increase in the proportion of patients up to 50% in the idursulfase beta will make it possible to achieve an overall savings of 796 845 270 rubles. for 5 years. The missed opportunities analysis showed that an additional 28 patients could be treated with money saved as a result of a change in treatment strategy.

Australian Prime Minister says coronavirus outbreak in Melbourne is serious but not surprising
Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison said the latest coronavirus outbreak in the city of Melbourne is “particularly serious” but added that it is “not surprising and that’s why we need to continue to focus on our effort and work together.”
“We will prevail and we will get on top of it, and we will protect the rest of the country,” the Prime Minister said at a press conference Wednesday.
As Melbourne prepares to go into lockdown from midnight Wednesday, Morrison said, “We’re all Melbournians now when it comes to the challenges we face.”
More than 800 federal public servants are helping with the door-to-door health effort in the state of Victoria, he announced.
Morrison said he will be taking a proposal to the National Cabinet to reduce the number of international flights arriving in the country.

The Alabama Sweet Tea Party.
That was one nickname people gave to a brawl this past Saturday on a Montgomery, Alabama, riverfront dock, captured in viral videos, after a group of white people attacked Damien Pickett, a Black riverboat co-captain who was trying to clear a berth for his vessel, and a group of Black people came to Pickett's defense.
In some obvious ways the whole episode is sad: The situation should never have descended into violence. The people who were asked to move their boat so that the riverboat could dock in its reserved space should simply have complied.
But in other ways, many Black people, in particular, saw it as an unfortunate but practically unavoidable response to what can feel like an unending stream of incidents in which Black people are publicly victimized, with no one willing or able to intervene or render aid.
Black people coming to the defense of that Black man wasn't just a specific thing that happened at one place and time; it was also a departure, in some ways, from the most memorable images in a history that includes centuries of Black-targeted brutality, which traces the journey of Black people in this land that became the United States.
From its inception, a feature of American slavery was the brutalizing of Black people and Black bodies — the whipping and the raping, the being hung from trees and fed to dogs — with others, generally, unable to defend them.
It has been such a part of Black history that it also became a central theme in Black literature.
In Toni Morrison's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, "Beloved," the protagonist, Sethe, and her husband plan to escape enslavement but get caught. He is hiding in the loft of a barn when her enslaver's nephews forcibly suck the milk from her breasts and severely whip her, leaving scars that look like, she says, a "tree on my back."
Her husband sees all this but is powerless to intervene without being discovered, and his powerlessness at witnessing the savaging of his wife drives him insane.
In slavery's wake, lynchings surged. The decades thereafter saw some notable Black resistance to racial violence, but that resistance was usually overwhelmed, and much of the imagery and ephemera that survive from the period concern the victims of anti-Black violence.
The civil rights movement would successfully meet violence with nonviolence, highlighting how cruel and depraved Southern racists were, but the tactic produced another volume of imagery of Black victimization — beatings, fire hoses, lunch counter mobs.
This American motif has continued into the present era, from the beating of Rodney King in Los Angeles to the choking of Eric Garner in New York to the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis, all caught on camera.
Darnella Frazier, who was 17 when she recorded the cellphone video of Derek Chauvin with his knee on Floyd's neck, testified at Chauvin's trial that "it's been nights I stayed up apologizing and apologizing to George Floyd for not doing more and not physically interacting and not saving his life."
Charles McMillian, who was 61 at the time of the trial and also witnessed Floyd being brutalized, broke down crying when he took the stand. As McMillian testified through his tears, "I couldn't help but feel helpless."
Through all of this, particularly the endlessly replayed videos, other Black people experienced a vicarious trauma that was only compounded by the feelings of vulnerability that come from being unable to intervene, of feeling that they, too, could have been these victims and that no one could or would come to save them.
What happened in Montgomery stood in contrast to much of that norm.
There, the righteous indignation of a community found an outlet when Black people came to the defense of a Black man under attack. There was therapy in it for many who saw it — a sense of historical correction.
And as an added bit of historical poetry, the brawl happened in Alabama, with its horrible history of slavery and notorious convict leasing system, which Douglas A. Blackmon called "slavery by another name" in his Pulitzer Prize-winning book of the same name.
It happened on a riverfront where enslaved people of African descent were transported to be sold in a city that later played a key part in the civil rights movement with the Montgomery bus boycott.
While violence is never the ideal, self-defense has a morally universal appeal and justification. And there comes a time when defense is the only option, when standing upright is the only appropriate posture. Describing the events in this case, even Montgomery's police chief pointed out that members of the riverboat's crew "came to Mr. Pickett's defense."
Let's all hope and pray that more situations don't descend into violence like this one did and that cooler heads always prevail. But let's also understand that

Kent Cider of the Year Finalist: Kentish Pip
We’re a small team with a big ambition: challenge the status quo, push aside the mediocre and reignite your love affair with cider.
Kentish PiP - We’re a small team with a big ambition: challenge the status quo, push aside the mediocre and reignite your love affair with cider.
Cider is a story of people, places, variety and discovery with a rich heritage, diverse culture and a bright future.
We combine the best ingredients with innovation, style and a pinch of tradition so you can discover beyond your cider expectations.
It all starts with apples. Kentish Pip is based at Woolton Farm near Canterbury, where the Mount family have been growing apples for four generations.
Our products are a window into the lifestyle and ethos of our family business: working with nature and never satisfied to settle for second best
Kent is historically known for growing dessert and culinary apples (eating and cooking) just like we do at Woolton Farm.
In 2014, Mark planted four new orchards with a selection of nine heritage cider apple varieties. These varieties bring the bitterness and astringency familiar to traditional craft cider drinkers.
We source dessert and culinary apples from our own farm and a handful of trusted growers in Kent and Sussex. In combination with our unique range of heritage cider apples, this is the first stage in creating our distinctive style.
All production takes place at Woolton Farm. We press the fruit in its optimum condition and ferment largely in single varieties.
Through many trials we have paired the specific yeast strains with different varieties to maximise our desired outcomes.
For us it's about promoting the individual character of each variety. We only ever ferment the natural sugars in the fruit and we don't chaptalise any of our products
Great cider takes time, especially when tannin is involved.
Our fresh, fruit forward ciders can be ready within a few months of pressing, where others require 24+ months' maturation before they are in optimum condition. During maturation the activity takes place on a microscopic level, with the molecular structure of different compounds evolving and the taste and aromatics of the cider changing at the same time.
The only real way to tell when the cider is ready is to taste, taste and taste again
Blending is the art and science of creating the finished product from the base ingredients.
The styles of our ciders are distinguished by the apple varieties used. We combine culinary apples, dessert apples and heritage cider apples.
Our house style is fresh and fruit forward, with most ciders falling into the distinction dry to medium dry.

The Life of Comrade Azad
World People's Resistance Movement (Britain)
Comrade Azad [was] one of the senior most party leaders of CPI (Maoist). He was born in Krishna district of AP, in a well to do family. He did his school education in Sainik School, at Korukonda of the present Vizianagaram District. Com. Surapuneni Janardhan, a legendary comrade of the student movement brought com. Raj Kumar into RSU in 1974. A brilliant student at the Regional Engineering College, which became famous as Radical Engineering College in those days, he finished his Mtech in Chemical Engineering and moved to Vishakhapatnam as per the Party direction. He was the second president of AP Radical Students Union till 1984. He was the catalyst behind many all Andhra wide student agitations and peoples movements in that period. He became the district committee member of vizag unit of the CPI (ML) (PW). He moved length and breadth of India, to organize the Seminar on Nationality question held in Madras (now Chennai) in 1981. He was shifted to Karnataka in 1982 and com. Azad was one of the founder members of the Karnataka Party and worked as the secretary of the Karnataka State Committee. He was taken into CC, after the Central Plenum in 1990. He was the elected member of CC in the All India conference in 1995 and since then he served in CC and PB. He continued in those posts after the formation of CPI Maoist too in 2004. He has been the spokes person of the CC since then.
Known for his simple life and hard work; voracious reading and brilliant analyses of situations, crystal clear articulation and sharp logic, and fine organizational skills, he contributed widely to the revolutionary movement in many spheres. He wrote profusely to the People’s March, Peoples war (theoretical organ of the CPI (Maoist), and to the Maoist Information Bulletin. He wrote a fine critique of the intellectuals of AP, who got disillusioned and lost faith in revolutionary movement after the 1990 events of collapse of soviet imperialism and its satellite regimes.
In his death, the Indian revolutionary movement lost an exemplary comrade and a shining star, who served the movement more than three and half decades.
Just before his last journey, he received questions for interview from a well known magazine. He replied that he was in the journey and would send the answers as early as possible.

A Christmas Like Helen’s, by Natalie Kinsey-Warnock, illustrated by Mary Azarian
(2004, Houghton Mifflin, ISBN 0-618-23137-4)
Dedicated to the author’s grandmother, this book shares what Christmas was like for the recent descendants of Scottish immigrants in the Vermont hill country many years ago.
“To have a Christmas like Helen’s you’ll need to be born on a Vermont hill farm, before cars, or telephones, or electricity, and be the youngest of seven children.” Each turn of the page in the book addresses a new thing that you would need to have a Christmas like Helen’s long ago: work horses, parents who tell their stories (or your grandparents’ stories) of Scotland, a barn, a love for animals, and so on. It tells of skating on the pond, riding into town in a pung (“a boxlike sleigh”) for the Christmas Eve service and wondering why Mary and Joseph couldn’t find a room. And it tells how in the middle of the night, when your father brings you to the barn to see a foal born and holds you close, you won’t be thinking about all the treats and gifts that Christmas Day will bring; you’ll be thinking that a barn is “not such a bad place to be born after all” and that you have “everything you ever wanted, or ever will want…right there on that farm.”
As the author tells what you would need to have or do or like or what might happen around Christmas, she is actually sharing her grandmother’s memories of growing up in the far northeastern United States and of a couple specific Christmases (such as the one when she got skates and the one when the doctor was afraid it might be her last one because of her scarlet fever), so this is a great book for kids interested in what life was like long ago! The illustrations are “woodcuts, hand-tinted with watercolors” (according to the book’s front matter) and give that old-fashioned feeling without being dreary or dated.
GirlChild’s Reaction: As the story progressed the second time we read it, GirlChild caught on to the repeated line “To have a Christmas like Helen’s” and said, “I want a Christmas like Helen’s! But we can’t…” (Well, we’re in Texas; very little of what the book describes is possible around here!) She was mildly dejected for a few pages, but she definitely perked back up at the ending lines about having everything you ever want and added to the last line, in her sweetest, most sing-songy voice, “My family!” She asked several questions about games and other things they mentioned with which she wasn’t familiar (like fox and geese and crack the whip (as seen on the Charlie Brown Christmas special!)), and I can see this book as an entry into historical fiction for younger children that would lead to other books like Little House on the Prairie and Hitty: Her First Hundred Years (historical fiction through the eyes of a doll) later on. Best suited for early elementary students, interested preschoolers and older children will also enjoy this simple story of times long past.

An algorithm is an effective method that can be expressed within a finite amount of space and time and in a well-defined formal language for calculating a function. Starting from an initial state and initial input (perhaps empty), the instructions describe a computation that, when executed, proceeds through a finite number of well-defined successive states, eventually producing "output" and terminating at a final ending state. The transition from one state to the next is not necessarily deterministic; some algorithms, known as randomized algorithms, incorporate random input.
In relation to logic-based and artificial neural network-based clinical decision support system, which are also computer applications to the medical decision making field, algorithms are less complex in architecture, data structure and user interface. Medical algorithms are not necessarily implemented using digital computers. In fact, many of them can be represented on paper, in the form of diagrams, nomographs, etc.
The UK’s policing minister Kit Malthouse has suggested that the use of advanced algorithmic technologies by police should be tested in court rather than defined by new legislation, which he argued could “stifle innovation”.
Social Proofing, Algorithmic Catalog Enrichment, Visual AI Based Recommendations, Real-time CustomerDataPlatform On Display at Booth 6403... The CDP is the foundation of the company's Algorithmic Decisioning Platform, enabling intelligence-infused decisions by integrating demand and supply to create granular customer segments.

In other words, it’s not an attack on the algorithm code itself, but what it is you’re feeding the algorithm... One is obviously develop better algorithms that are harder to attack, trying to come up with systems to defend machine learning systems so they cannot be attacked, so the known attacks don’t fool them.

My eleven year old daughter and I are writing this for our love for a woman of faith. Jennifer is the women of my dreams and the best mother a child could ever ask for. God had a special plan for Jennifer! She makes me smile in the of hardest times. Jennifer enjoys praying and worshiping the Lord. I believe by her setting an example of faith, our daughter has grown in faith.
My mother works hard and always has a smile on her face. My mom is like a machine never stopping.
My wife does everything for our family. Our dog would have to agree as well. She would run into a burning building to save one of us.
Mom,Jennifer, we love you and we hope you know that. God bless you!
Woman of the Week: Cyndy Goeller
Nominated by: Mary Sharp
Cyndy is like the mom I never had. I met her in my Sunday School class (which I rarely attended because I was “too tired”). This was an excuse I used frequently because I’ve been in stage 3 heart failure, due to a genetic disease, since I was 25 (I’m 32 now). Cyndy asked if taking me to church would help. She took away my excuse and got me involved in church this also started a great relationship.
Cyndy is always there for me I can’t count how many times she has picked me up from work when I am sick, taken me to the doctor when I cannot drive, and stay by my side for hours on end when I end up in the hospital. She is an amazing woman with four grandkids two of which are disabled with Muscular Dystrophy. If only God had more angels like her!
Woman of the Week: Sarah Guthrie
Nominated by: Madison Guthrie
My Mom is truly a blessing in my life. She is an inspiration and dose everything she can to help support my dreams, and the dreams of my brother. She always has a smile on her face and always knows how to cheer me up. I come to my mom with everything, and she is my best friend. She strives every day to be a Godly woman and set an example for me. Last year she lost her mom to caner, my grandma was a beautiful woman with a heart-warming smile. She was so strong and never complained. She had brain, lung, and jaw cancer on both sides. Now she is in heaven where she can smile on my momma and our family. My mom should be the woman of the week because not only dose she a have a beautiful heart, but she will always help others before herself, and she never complains. I really want my mom to be recognized for how much she dose and how much of a blessing she is toward our family and me. I love you mom. Thank you for believing in me, and for teaching me how to be a Godly woman.
Woman of the Week for 01/19/2012: Donna Zeh
Nominated by: Nancy Davis
Donna is an extraordinary, selfless woman who devotes much time to her church and youth leadership. Despite the fact that she works two jobs, travels frequently, and leads the Sparks group in AWANA, she finds time to be a strong Christian role model to many. We are in a Bible study together on Friday night. She picks me up as I am uncomfortable driving in the dark. She not only knows the Word, but often makes references, and encourages me tremendously. Although Donna juggles many tasks at once, she is the most humble person I’ve ever met. She never seeks accolades for her accomplishments, but gives all of the glory to God. If I were to choose one story about her, it would be her service in Sparks. My six-year old is excited about what she learns in Sparks, not so much the memorization and prizes, rather the message itself. Donna goes far above and beyond to make every child feel special, and to share the love of Jesus Christ with everyone. She is loving, wise, compassionate, inspirational, considerate, kind, funny, smart,humble, honest, trustworthy, sincere, and beautiful!

So I bet you guys are graciously throwing yourselves back into old eating habits, doing cleansing, and trying to get back on track after all of the holiday festivities, right?
Ok be honest, raise your hand if the above applies to you! ( imagine a crazy blonde lady standing next to you with both arms flailing in the air – that would be me!)
I have been enjoying oat bran again in the mornings. It is perfect for chilly early mornings! Of course I also enjoy my eggs and roasted sweet potatoes as well, along with my cup of coffee 🙂
Lunches and dinners have been a lot of salads lately. This is not necessarily because I am doing the whole back on track thing, but more a craving since I haven't really been enjoying salads to much over the holiday season. I think my body is just craving the goodness of them! I have also experimented with using the gluten free microwave “mcmuffin” at more meals besides breakfast. I had one with a laying cow cheese wedge one night, and made one to stand in for my hamburger bun on burger night!!
Snacks have been my usual cravings of fruit and nut butters. I tell you I just can't get enough of that combo. Lately it's been apples with almond butter, or pears with peanut butter. I also made a huge batch of granola that is surely going to be the death of me. The recipe I used called for a cup of maple syrup and two cups of oats. So yummy but so sweet, need to scale back on syrup next time. Other snacks have been nuts and raisins, yogurt, protein shakes, and larabars.
So not a bad start to being back on track right? Can't wait to see what has been crossing your plates lately, and a big thanks to Jenn for hosting our fabulous weekly party!

DescriptionDelhaize: Animal Parc is a companion app for a promotion that ran in the Delhaize chain of supermarket and grocery stores in Belgium between 18th June and 12th August 2015. For each € 20 spent in the stores, shoppers receive a bag with three animal cards, as well as a map with stickers or an animal passport as well as a sticker map. The cards, passport and stickers can be collected and stored in a physical album. This companion app allow users to maintain a digital collection as well by letting users scan the card using a camera to import it in the app. Once stored, it is possible to hear the animal make a sound and learn its name in different languages.
The app also contains a match-three game based on animals. It consists of sixteen levels based on classic mechanics. Three animals or more need to be matched horizontally or vertically by swiping two to make them switch places. They disappear and new animals appear from the top. A match of four creates a health kit of a specific colour that can be matched with animals of that colour to make an entire row or column disappear. Two health kits can also be matched with each other, regardless the colour. A match of five creates a heart that can be matched with any animal to make all those of that type disappear from the board. Levels have goals such as a target score with a limited amount of moves, a target score racing against time, freeing animals from nets (swappable) or cages (create matches to the sides) or collecting a number of specific animals with a limited amount of moves. Up to three paws can be earned based on the performance.

It has been a truly awful time to be a tax payer. Observing the blinkered, dull, shortsighted and sheltered approach this government has adopted to a number of pressing issues leaves one with his fist in his mouth and with a sense of the impending doom (and strikes and riots and discontent) that awaits the UK in the forthcoming months.
Firstly the good news: a host of celebrities, entrepreneurs, retired policemen and politicians signed a progressive campaign to end the war on drugs (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-13625241). The reasons for such a move? The continued prohibitionist stance which wastes millions of tax-payers money, allows those in drug-trafficking to continue to suffer and has shown itself to be totally ineffective in achieving its goal. Regulation seems like a good alternative…. The home offices official statement: ‘We have no intention of changing our stance on drug classification and sentencing’…
Hold the press, Theresa May pops out of the woodwork with a newly branded version of the farcical ‘Serious and Organised Crime Agency’ (SOCA) which will target ‘drug gangs and paedophiles’ and will be ‘A new FBI-style crimefighting agency’ (http://www.channel4.com/news/fbi-style-crime-agency-to-lead-fight-against-drug-gangs). With the knowledge of FBI style offensives against drug cartels and the utterly expensive and wasteful war on drugs, I can see this being a lose-lose operation. Can’t wait….
In economics, Osbourne’s plan A is seeming like a lost cause – like trying to cover up the fact that the banks have just been bailed out and the tax payers are left with the bill…. (er… that’s exactly what it is!) To make matters worse, the impact of falsified and (very cleverly) crafted figures for the official rate of inflation at 5% doesn’t mean a thing when households are faced with 30% inflation with every other marketable commodity. Petrol, Gas, Electricity, Food… The cost of living is certainly not following the Chancellors expected route. As pressure mounts we will be left with the real choice that any expert in fiscal studies would be able to tell you – stop exporting a model of growth and start maintaining the current market that exists. Of course the banks are also inline for a big upheaval by the public. It would be naive of me to say we expected more from a Chancellor of the Exchequer… but to be tough on banks? Kinda like biting the hand that feeds, non?
The timing couldn’t be worse for Kenneth Clarke. He was overseeing criminal sentencing and trying to find ways to cut costs for lower ranking criminals, but with lunatics like Theresa May in the cabinet, what hope have you got? Incidentally, the arrest of a truly depraved paedophile who worked in a nursery in the UK two days ago makes his proposals totally unpalatable. We have little faith in the government being able to hold back the murderers and paedophiles that have already been caught. How can we guarantee the government won’t back track and release the prisoners early like so many that have gone before them? We are left with a real sense of skewered priorities.
Back to the worst case of incompetence so far: The continued war on terror. Led by Theresa ‘Headmistress’ May, Bradford and Leeds have been pointed out as ‘Islamist hotspots’ and along with schoolteachers, (who are asked to inform on students or recruiters of terrorism), areas of Britain are being brought into the spotlight for their connections to ‘terrorism’ (http://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/at-a-glance/main-section/leeds_and_bradford_to_lead_renewed_drive_against_islamist_terror_1_3457078).
Theresa May, the biggest threat to Britain is YOU. Remember the ‘fatwa against Theresa May’? Well, they targeted you for a reason ‘love’. I don’t suppose you would have the sense to see much farther that the nose on your face, but the UK arms industry, financial services and long historic colonial oppression is what has caused such retaliation (and rightly so) Should you wish to reconsider your stance (a wise move) you may wish to think hard about your sheltered background and how this may play a big part in your current views of society. Ever heard of sharing? No, not the type which is donated to third world countries via regulatory bodies of the government and financial services and then plowed back into British contracts (much like donations to Middle Eastern and African countries) I mean the type of government transparency which gives us advance warning before attempting to rip a country off

Anthony B.'s twelfth album is a study in modern roots-dancehall fusion, and something of a cautionary tale. His singing and chatting are as strong as ever, but he's running the risk of sliding into formula and cliché -- a risk he almost seems to be courting with such not-exactly-subtle song titles as "Smoke Weed Everyday" and "Jah, Jah, Jah, Jah." Celebrated producer Frenchie provides top-notch rhythms by the likes of Firehouse Crew and Mafia & Fluxy, and Anthony B. generally makes good use of them -- his take on the "Jah Power" rhythm, titled "Just Can't Live That Way" is quite strong, and his excellent combination track with Natty King is one of the album's highlights. Less exceptional are a mediocre cut on the "Waiting in Vain" rhythm and that regrettable weed anthem, a truly dumb (both lyrically and musically) attempt at reggae-hip-hop fusion. However, the album's final track is another very fine combination, this one featuring the similarly inclined singjay Turbulence and an uplifting anti-gun lyric that actually sets an example ("I could bust my gun but I won't") rather than falling back on facile sermonizing. This won't go down in reggae history as one of Anthony B.'s most spectacular albums, but there's plenty here for his many fans to love.

Why Oil and Gas Companies are Relying on 3D Printing
- Supply chain and procurement delays mean oil and gas firms often face mounting costs due to a lack of spare parts
- Many companies are investing in 3D printing to make spare parts and reduce inventory warehousing costs
- There are concerns about the quality and safety of 3D-printed products in the oil and gas industry
Oil and gas companies are facing many challenges: volatile oil prices, strict environmental norms, pressure on operating margins and a lengthy procurement process for spare parts.
When parts need to be replaced quickly to prevent costly downtime, oil and gas companies cannot always rely on just-in-time replacements given the geographical spread of their operations and the pandemic’s impact on supply chains.
One solution to these challenges has been the slow but steady adoption of 3D printing, or additive manufacturing, by large oil and gas companies and service providers such as GE, Shell, BP and Baker Hughes. According to a Research and Markets report, the 3D printing market is expected to grow to $32 billion by 2025.
Advantages of 3D Printing in Oil and Gas
1. Minimal supply chain disruptions and better inventory management
Rather than rely on third parties or shipments from other countries, oil and gas companies have begun relying on 3D printing to create hard-to-get parts in case of supply chain delays.
In-house manufacturing of parts through 3D printing is also seen as a means of better inventory management. For example, in November, Baker Hughes, the U.S.-based oil field services company, partnered with Würth Industry North America, a parts distributor, for additive manufacturing services.
Using additive manufacturing reportedly helped Baker Hughes reduce its lead times, physical inventory and manufacturing-related carbon footprint.
2. Improved operational efficiency
Other than reducing the lead time for the production of complex prototypes, 3D printing is also expected to accelerate the development of certain functional products for use in critical operations.
By enabling that rapid prototyping, companies can develop and validate their designs faster and respond better to market opportunities. The development of innovative shapes and complex geometries could also reduce the number of parts required, thereby lowering assembly time, improving performance and reducing carbon emissions.
3. Lower operational costs
Reducing supply chain, storage and warehousing costs lowers the total cost of inventory. GE Oil & Gas said it was able to reduce its product testing and validation process for a new gas turbine burner by using 3D printing.
Latest advances in 3D printing
While 3D printing has largely been limited to polymer-based products, companies are now making advances in metal-based 3D printing. And with single-part fabrication of flow control, 3D printing is also being used to manufacture spare parts on site. For example, ExOne, a 3D-printing service provider, says it has developed the expertise to print geometrically complex, full-form metal parts using custom 3D CAD files.
Challenges in the wider adoption of 3D printing
Although 3D printing is bringing efficiency to the oil and gas sector, it is also raising some legal and regulatory questions.
Compliance with safety standards and regulations for 3D-printed products has been a challenge for manufacturers. Also, since manufacturing is not centralized, parts or components can be printed at different locations, posing concerns about intellectual property rights and licenses and compromised product quality.
Too, oil and gas companies have limited use cases for additive manufacturing compared to other industries. As a result, the industry needs to create its own 3D printing framework and expand its applications.
Despite these roadblocks, more oil and gas companies are likely to harness this technology for onshore and offshore operations. 3D printing in oil and gas may also swing toward serial manufacturing, where the same part will be produced repeatedly, bringing down the cost.

“God blesses you when people mock you and persecute you and lie about you and say all sorts of evil things against you because you are my followers. Be happy about it! Be very glad! For a great reward awaits you in heaven. And remember, the ancient prophets were persecuted in the same way.”Matthew 5:11-12
“Jesus replied, ‘You don’t understand now what I am doing, but someday you will.’”John 13:7
“More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.”Romans 5:3-5
“But this is not the way of life that Christ has unfolded within you. If you have really experienced the Anointed One, and heard his truth, it will be seen in your life; for we know that the ultimate reality is embodied in Jesus!
And he has taught you to let go of the lifestyle of the ancient man, the old self – life, which was corrupted by sinful and deceitful desires that spring from delusions. Now it’s time to be made new by every revelation that’s been given to you.And to be transformed as you embrace the glorious Christ-within as your new life and live in union with him! For God has re-created you all over again in his perfect righteousness, and you now belong to him in the realm of true holiness.”Ephesians 4:20-24
“Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death.“- 2 Corinthians 7:10
Godly sorrow = conviction
Worldly sorrow =guilt and shame
When you are in Christ, He leads you to repentance because His Holy Spirit brings conviction which leads to a changed life.
When you are of the world there is nothing but guilt and shame which leads to death, for the wages of sin is death. When you are guilty, you have no hope, for you feel the weight of judgement.
Guilt leads to shame, which leads to a lifestyle of wrong doing.
When you feel trapped with no hope of escape, you stay where you are. You do not change because you are imprisoned in your situation.
A man walking to the gallows is on the path of death with no hope of life.
That is the situation without Christ. Hopelessness!
We are condemned! We are guilty with no hope of life.
Jesus has come to take away all guilt and shame, He offers freedom from the burdens of a guilt filled life.
For Death is final without Jesus. He came to beat death by dying on the cross, paying the price for all of our guilt and shame, taking our condemnation on Himself-proving this by resurrecting from the dead.
We then can live free from this life sentence of staying in our sins, from the prison of guilt and condemnation where there was once no escape.
We can have the Spirit of Christ live within us!
We then are transformed into the very image of Jesus. Perfected and transformed by God given conviction.
Guilt and shame was nailed to the cross. Condemnation was put to death.
We are guided by conviction!
We are resurrected into a new life where the Holy Spirit guides our lives to glory after glory. And new life after new life.
This sermon is on the subject of Spiritual Maturity, It was presented at The Eston Full Gospel Church summer 2013

Saddam farewells his family in 'high spirits'
Saddam's half-brother Watban.
AS SADDAM Hussein farewelled his family in anticipation of his imminent execution, Americans were bracing themselves for their 3000th military death in Iraq, a milestone that is probably only days away.
The ousted president bade two half-brothers farewell on Thursday, a lawyer said. Another said the US had called him to organise the handover of Saddam's personal effects, indicating his imminent release to the Iraqis.
A senior Bush Administration official said Saddam could go to the gallows as soon as today but an Iraqi cabinet minister said a week-long religious holiday would stall any execution.
"He was in very high spirits and clearly readying himself," Badie Aref, another defence lawyer, said after Saddam met half-brothers Watban and Sabawi, who are also both held at Camp Cropper, near Baghdad Airport.
"He told them he was happy he would meet his death at the hands of his enemies and be a martyr, not just languish in jail. He... gave them letters to his family in anticipation."
A US military spokesman confirmed that Saddam was still being held at a US-run prison. Earlier, CBS News reported a US military officer as saying Saddam would be turned over to the Iraqis in the next 36 hours for the hanging.
As US officials and Iraqis expressed concern about the potential for even worse bloodshed following Saddam's execution, the US military reported the deaths of five more troops in Iraq.
The deaths bring to 2988 the number of US troops who have died there since the war began in March 2003. The news came as some of the war's chief neoconservative proponents, Richard Perle, Kenneth Adelman and David Frum, spoke in Vanity Fair of their despair at the Bush Administration's incompetence in handling Iraq.
Despite claiming his statements had been "distorted" by the magazine, Mr Perle was quoted saying: "I think if I had... seen where we are today, and people had said, 'Should we go into Iraq?', I think now I probably would have said, 'No, let's consider other strategies..."
When the war began, Iraq was a "doable do", to use a military planner's phrase cited by David Frum.
But Mr Frum, the former speechwriter who co-wrote Mr Bush's 2002 "axis of evil" speech, said a US defeat in Iraq might be inescapable because "the insurgency has proven it can kill anyone who co-operates, and the United States and its friends have failed to prove that it can protect them".
Organisers say about 140 demonstrations in 37 US states are planned to mark the 3000th US military death in Iraq.
Tens of thousands of Iraqis have been killed since the war began. At least 30 Iraqis died yesterday in bombings and shootings, including a suicide bombing in Baghdad that killed 10 people. Police said 42 bodies of tortured men were found dumped in Baghdad.

|Abstract:||The Quasi-Zenith Satellite System (QZSS) L-band Experiment (LEX) signal can carry correction data for real-time precise GNSS applications. Most available LEX receivers must be assisted by GPS/QZSS L1 C/A code tracking, which requires dual frequency antenna and front-end. Alternatively, LEX-only single frequency receiver architecture can be adopted to acquire and track the LEX signal independently. However, LEX signal acquisition occupies massive process time due to the extra computational complexity caused by the code shift keying (CSK) modulation. This paper proposes an optimized LEX signal acquisition algorithm, implements it into an open source software GNSS receiver and adopts the FFT-based Circular Correlation Search in LEX acquisition to reduce acquisition time. Due to the TDM structure in the LEX signal, optimized code patterns are presented to further shorten the short and long code acquisition time. In order to demonstrate the acquisition algorithm, the experiment on processing real LEX signal from the currently operating QZSS satellite named Michibiki was conducted with the developed software LEX receiver.|

"The Black Death by Jason Clay Lewis"
2003-11-14 until 2003-12-21
USA United States of America
31Grand is proud to present "The Black Death" by Jason Clay Lewis. Inspired
plague epidemic of the 1300s as well as current biological threats, Jason
imagines what our existence would look like if we were still living under
the fear of a rapidly spreading plague. This multimedia exhibition combines
medieval tale, contemporary culture criticism, and dark humor.
The story is told through a series of sculpture, photography, video, and
drawings. The icons of Jason's narrative include a life-size sculpture of a
knight in armor on a battle horse, his holographic-generated sculpture "Key
of Light", "Death's Door", a highly detailed 9’ x 7' door adorned with
hand-tooled leather depicting nearly a thousand unique skeleton knights.

The percentage of female student-athletes in NICA has held steady since we started tracking…until now! Over the past year, we’ve increased the percentage of girls in NICA by just over 1%. That may not sound like much, but it’s a measurable increase and a sign that GRiT activities led by teams and leagues are adding up and making a difference.
We want your help in bringing more girls and women into mountain biking and NICA! You don’t need to wait for permission to get started. Early next year, we’ll release an online GRiT coach course, along with accompanying event templates and other materials. These resources will help you get started, build your recruitment plan, and organize GRiT activities to get #moregirlsonbikes.
If every NICA team takes one or two intentional actions each season to recruit and retain more girls, we’ll see an even greater percentage increase in female student-athletes over the next year. Thank you for joining us in this effort!

TAMPA – The always-accommodating Gerald McCoy did a pretty good job of aiding the media on Wednesday when he went in search of an adjective that best describes the way the Buccaneers have played the run on the road this year.
“I’m trying to give you guys like a headline word,’’ the five-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle said. “So how about horrendous? Because we’ve been horrendous. We have not been good at all. We’ve been getting our tail busted on the road.’’
That’s no exaggeration. In four road games, all of which have been losses by the way, the Bucs have allowed 609 yards rushing, or an average of 152.2 per game. Horrendous indeed.
It’s been just the opposite at home. In five games at Raymond James Stadium, three of which have been victories, the Bucs have allowed a total of 380 rushing yard, or 76 per game.
“That’s been the common denominator,’’ defensive coordinator Mike Smith said of the struggles the Bucs have had on the road, which actually date back to last year, when the Bucs lost their last two road games.
“We haven’t been very consistent when we’ve played on the road,’’ Smith added. “We haven’t started fast and when you don’t start fast you can get behind the chains, so to speak.
“We’ve got to be a much tougher and more resilient team on the road. We have been a completely different team statistically, as you’ve mentioned, playing at home.
“It’s something that we have to make sure our guys understand that it’s going to be tough to play on the road, but it’s not that tough. We have made it way too easy for our opponents when we’ve played on the road.’’
The Bucs will head back to the road this week for their makeup game with the Dolphins in Miami coming off a 15-10 victory over the Jets as well as what was arguably their most complete defensive effort of the year.
In addition to allowing just 56 yards rushing, the Bucs recorded a season-high six sacks and did not allow a touchdown until late in the fourth quarter after a roughing the passer penalty gave the Jets new life.
That effort, McCoy said is one the Bucs have to find a way to build off of.
“Yeah, we were all looking at the film, saying, ‘What is going on (on the road?)’ McCoy said. “Whatever it is, I can tell you this. It’s not focus. We treat every trip like it’s a business trip. Guys are not going out.
“Everybody goes to have dinner but most people are sitting around the hotel watching film, preparing. You don’t see guys (arriving) late to meetings. You don’t have to look for anybody.
“We’re doing what we need to be doing on the road. We’re just not doing enough on Sundays. So we just have to take this momentum we got from this win last Sunday and keep it going.’’

- Flood of orders for ID.3 hatch and ID.4 SUV kick off VW's range of affordable EVs.
- Half of all new Porsche models will be electrified by 2025 at the latest.
- Cupra sub-brand expected to take lead role in VW's electrification plans for SEAT.
- Sales rebound in Europe already visible in the third quarter of 2020.
Decades from now perhaps it will be difficult to believe that 2020, defined by the tremendous losses and stresses of the pandemic, was the pivotal year for Volkswagen's launch of its ID-branded electric vehicles. But even now, before the year is out, the automaker is reporting encouraging progress in its rollout of a new wave of battery electric models.
At its annual general meeting, the automaker acknowledged the challenges it has faced over the course of this year, while noting the positive start of its MEB platform family, amid an upward trend expected to continues through the last remaining months of 2020.
"In both 2019 and 2020, we took significant steps towards becoming a leading provider of electric, digital mobility, achieving important milestones," Group CEO Herbert Diess said at the virtual Annual General Meeting of Volkswagen Aktiengesellschaft. “The transformation of the Group is not being held back by corona, but accelerated by it."
Just a few weeks ago Volkswagen began production of the ID.3 electric hatch and the ID.4 electric SUV, with the latter headed to the U.S. for deliveries in the winter. The automaker noted that it received over 30,000 orders for the ID.3 hatch during the course of this year, despite the challenges for European customers during the first half of the year associated with the pandemic.
Still, it's not just the Volkswagen brand that will benefit from electrification over the next few years; Porsche is in the process of rolling out EVs of its own.
"The brand has adopted by far the most ambitious electrification strategy of all the brands. Porsche estimates that by 2025 at the latest over half of all new Porsches will be electrified, in other words powered solely by batteries or as plug-in hybrids," Diess added.
Diess also noted the rollout of electric models at other Volkswagen Group Brands, ones that we're not used to hearing about. Celebrating its 125th anniversary this year, Škoda revealed its first battery-electric model earlier this year, using the MEB platform to create an SUV called the Enyaq.
Yet another Volkswagen Group brand, Spain's SEAT and its Cupra sub-brand, will benefit from Zwickau's MEB platform as well as Diess noted. The Spanish division was the first to reveal an ID.3-based electric hatchback all the way back in March of 2019, in the form of the el-Born, named for one of Barcelona's famous neighborhoods.
One major shift that's taking place at the moment that concerns the group's Spanish division is that Cupra, a sub-brand that emerged from a popular line of hatchbacks built by SEAT, is now poised to upstage SEAT itself. Diess hinted as much during the meeting, foreshadowing a greater future role by the performance sub-brand, which is sure to cause plenty of talk about the increased prominence of the Cupra sub-brand and its position in Wolfsburg's MEB plans. Perhaps it wasn't a coincidence that the el-Born was revealed first among the MEB hatches, and that it has since gained a Cupra badge in place of the SEAT badge it wore in concept form in Geneva in 2019.
"SEAT stands for exciting products and is increasingly venturing into higher price segments with Cupra," Diess said during the meeting. "Cupra will become an electric and electrifying automotive brand that captivates with exciting designs, the latest technology, and a modern, urban appearance. The electrification of Cupra is starting with the Cupra Leon as a plug-in hybrid and the all-electric el-Born, which will be launched next year."
Still, Volkswagen noted that it faced significant challenges in 2020 that were caused by the pandemic. The automaker reported that deliveries of new cars by the group were down by 21.5% compared to 2019 -- understandable given the disruptions of the pandemic -- but nevertheless recorded a market share growth of 0.4%, reaching 13% of all global car sales. Business in Western Europe was hit especially hard by the pandemic, which saw a 30.9% drop. However, the automaker noted a rebound as it neared the fourth quarter of 2020, and now expects incoming orders and deliveries in September to land above those for the same month in 2019.
Despite this bit of good news, Wolfsburg remains cautious about the near-term course of business.
"All medium- and long-term forecasts continue to involve considerable uncertainty and depend on the future course of the

Published: Fri 22 May, 2020
The sale of North West Leicestershire District Council (NWLDC) owned land in Greenhill will provide much-needed housing and secure funds for the new Coalville Leisure Centre.
A planning application submitted today (22 May) seeks permission to build approximately 100 high quality homes – 20 per cent of which would be affordable homes – on the parcel of land off Waterworks Road in Greenhill.
If planning permission is granted, the council plans to sell the land to a developer with the funds raised diverted straight into the Coalville Leisure Centre project which already has planning permission with construction due to start imminently.
The illustrative plan shows how the site could be regenerated and confirms that the development would not impact the football pitches, recreation area and BMX track that sit adjacent to the site. The council plans to consult with local residents to see how these community facilities might be improved and enhanced to complement the new development, should it get permission.
Councilor Roger Bayliss, Portfolio Holder for Housing at NWLDC, said: “As we look to meet the housing demand in North West Leicestershire, this piece of land offers us the opportunity to create a high quality development in an area that really needs more homes.
“If planning permission is granted we will work with a developer to ensure a really high standard of homes on this site that can be held up as a leading example of good design in the district.
“The fact that the money raised will go straight into the Coalville Leisure Centre project also clearly demonstrates the community-wide benefit of a project like this.”
Despite the coronavirus pandemic, NWLDC has remained determined to push forward with the projects it can, which includes this planning application.
More than 1,000 households in the vicinity of the planned development have received a letter explaining the plans in the last fortnight and signposting to where they can comment on the application.
The application can be viewed in full and commented on through the planning portal at www.nwleics.gov.uk/planning

Why You Should Never Buy the 2017 Cadillac XT5
A luxury crossover SUV with a high level of sophistication, the Cadillac XT5 has been a hot seller for the brand since 2016. There are 3 trims to choose from, Luxury, Premium Luxury, and Sport, and all offer premium comfort and amenities along with impressive performance. However, the 2017 Cadillac XT5 had some issues that used car buyers should be aware of.
Top complaints about the 2017 XT5
According to CarComplaints.com, a big complaint about the 2017 Cadillac XT5 was that the transmission would start shuddering while you are driving. Obviously, drivers were quite concerned when this happened. They reported the problem at around 4,250 miles and said the transmission would shudder when they were decelerating. This got a severity warning of 9.0 or “really awful.”
Another complaint about the Cadillac XT5 was with the traction control light. Owners reported that early on, at about 1,400 miles, the XT5’s traction control light would come on for no reason. It doesn’t sound like that big of a deal until you realize it causes the car to drop out of cruise control at highway speeds, creating a huge accident risk.
On the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s website, there were additional complaints about the 2017 Cadillac XT5. These included powertrain complaints like clunking noises in the engine compartment and engine misfiring, the tires wearing out prematurely, and the electrical system shutting down.
Another potentially dangerous and uncommon problem was the panoramic sunroof exploding with a loud bang and showering the passengers with glass. Overall, there are 52 complaints on the NHTSA website and 92 complaints on CarComplaints.com.
2017 Cadillac XT5 recall and bad reviews
General Motors issued a recall for some 2017 Cadillac XT5 models. These vehicles were manufactured between April 16, 2016 and May 9, 2016. The issue was that the front brake calipers had a torn caliper piston or a misaligned caliper piston seal. Both of these problems resulted in the brake fluid leaking out. The recall also involved some GMC Acadia SUVs.
When it came to reviews, the 2017 XT5 didn’t do so well. Consumer reports placed it at No. 12 out of 12 in SUVs for reliability. This sad showing was because of terrible scores in two categories, body integrity, and the electric system. Complaints about the 2017 Cadillac XT5’s body components included the dashboard squeaking, squeaks and rattles for no apparent reason that randomly come and go, and the trim on the top and bottom of the cargo hatch rattling.
The electrical system didn’t do any better. Owners of the 2017 XT5 said the driver door switch failed, the keyless entry wouldn’t work, and the alarm going off and not recognizing the key fob.
The new Cadillac XT5 is looking good
With a redesigned front end and a few key added features, the 2020 Cadillac XT5 looks like it will be free of its predecessors’ problems. It has a refreshed exterior and unique jewel-like smart headlights in the front and rear. The sumptuous interior is true Cadillac, with genuine leather, natural wood, and modern carbon-fiber trim, and there are plenty of cargo options thanks to the 60/40 split-folding rear seat.
The 2020 Cadillac XT5 joins the ranks of fully integrated vehicles with a dashboard touchscreen that connects you with everything from a text from your boss to your road trip playlist. Other technology includes driver-assist features like rear cross traffic alert, lane change alert with a blind spot warning, available night vision, front pedestrian braking, and forward collision alert.
Even though the 2017 Cadillac XT5 might be one to avoid, overall, these are comfortable, powerful crossovers and a tough competitor in the midsize SUV market.

VivaCité is the RTBF’s full service radio channel, serving the Belgian French community with regional broadcasts. The channel has studios in Brussels and five regional centres, and airs on 20 FM frequencies in the south of Belgium. Vivacité holds, with an audience share of 16%, the lead position in Wallony.
Last year saw the opening of two brand new radio studios for VivaCité, in Libramont and Charleroi, after the public broadcaster teamed up with local media to enhance proximity with the audience. All of the new studios are DHD-based and are equipped for both radio and TV. The technical integration of the two new radio studios and one television studio was carried out by Amptec who took on the design, system integration, custom-made furniture and cabling of the studios, as well as the supply of the technical equipment.
In Libramont, the RTBF found a new location for its regional studio, which had been relocated from Arlon. In a new building, both the public broadcaster’s VivaLux (the VivaCité radio channel for the Luxembourg region), as well as local TV station TV Lux, have on-air and production studios.
“The idea is to team up more and more with local broadcasters,” says Laurent Finet, head of production and digital radio innovation at RTBF. “We share editorial content and news, resulting in a positive synergy.”
The new on-air studio, used by VivaLux for its regional broadcasts on radio, is also streaming on RTBF’s Auvio platform and broadcasted on TV Lux.
In Charleroi, VivaCité and local TV station Télésambre relocated to the brand new MédiaSambre building: an audiovisual activity hub in the very centre of the city. For the new radio studios for VivaCité Charleroi, sharing with a local TV station went a step further: Finet opted for a ‘hybrid’ studio that is used for the radio and web-streamed Charleroi Matin morning show at VivaCité, and for the TV news bulletins of TéléSambre, the local TV channel in Charleroi.
“We don’t design pure radio studios anymore,” Finet explained. “Today we build studios for visual radio, for the production and broadcast of radio and TV. It’s also more cost-effective in the construction of the studio – instead of adding TV, social media and podcasts afterwards, we decided to give them a spot right in the new studio. It really adds to the dynamics of radio and allows us to deliver high quality broadcasts, both on radio and TV.”
VivaCité’s morning programmes (between 5:30-8:30am) are produced in the radio studio, including visual radio and internet streaming. During TéléSambre’s TV programmes, the studio’s imaging is adapted for the station’s news bulletins on the hour and some 15 locally produced programmes on sports and culture. Amptec also designed specific microphone stands for the on-air studio: the large diaphragm microphones (Neumann TLM 102) are quickly changed to more discreet ones during TV broadcasts.
“Both the Libramont and Charleroi radio studios are quite identical in terms of technical equipment,” explains Bart Lamberigts, project manager with Amptec. “The compactness and organisation of the workflow on DHD consoles has become the standard where DJs can switch studios, or even regional stations, easily – and remote support becomes more effective.”
The main on-air studios are self-operated with the presenter taking on the technical workflow of the broadcast. A DHD XC2-core with a DHD 12 fader MX console for the self-op studio and two DHD TX touch consoles for the journalists’ workstations make up the technical basis for the broadcast set-up. “In Charleroi, where radio and TV work closely together, the XC2 is interconnected with the TéléSambre DHD XD2 core with higher DSP capacity,” adds Lamberigts. “We also installed TéléSambre’s new TV studios with a DHD MX 12-fader console for the smaller ‘daily news’ studio and a DHD MX 20-fader console for the larger production studio. An RTS Intercom system, connecting these studios with the floors and all of Télésambre’s video edit booths, completes the set-up.”

Opponents of a proposed Moon Valley Goodwill store are accusing a Phoenix City Council member’s chief of staff of not disclosing a potential conflict of interest, saying she shouldn’t have attempted to mediate the issue without revealing that she had worked for Goodwill’s lobbyist.
Laura Etter, chief of staff for Phoenix Vice Mayor Bill Gates, was employed by the lobbyist until August 2012, when she joined the city. Former Maricopa County Attorney Rick Romley, who recently led a task force to update the Phoenix ethics policy, said Etter failed to avoid the appearance of a conflict of interest and may have broken the law. Former U.S. Rep. John Shadegg, who lives in Moon Valley and is opposed to the planned Goodwill store, said her actions are questionable and need to be investigated.
The city attorney said this week that Etter did not violate the law, which does not specifically provide guidelines for disclosure for public workers about their former employers. Although Phoenix warns its employees to avoid even the appearance of conflict, the city’s current ethics handbook offers no guidance to Phoenix workers about their history with a previous employer. The strengthened ethics policies the task force recommended have not taken effect.
Gates and Etter said they never believed it was necessary to disclose her past employment as she worked to resolve objections to the proposed Goodwill store.
Before joining the city, Etter was one of two senior associates at Goodman Schwartz Public Affairs, Goodwill’s lobbying firm. Her work at Goodman Schwartz was focused on non-profits, but her boss there said she handled only minor matters involving Goodwill, such as attending store openings.
Etter said in interviews with The Arizona Republic that her sole interest is working for the community and that she has no allegiance to her former employer or Goodwill.
“I can see why there could be a concern, but I would really hope that knowing my interest and my interest in working with Bill is that (it’s) for the community,” Etter said. “It’s not for a particular company. It’s being chief of staff for District 3... looking at what is best for the community as a whole.”
Neighbors also are upset with Gates’ backing of two zoning ordinances that favor Goodwill Industries of Central Arizona.
Zoning laws revised
Neighbors’ protests began soon after Goodwill of Central Arizona signed a lease in late March and announced plans to open a retail store at Seventh Street and Thunderbird Road, in a space previously occupied by AJ’s Fine Foods.
Almost at once, Moon Valley residents circulated angry e-mails and letters, adamant that they did not want a Goodwill in their neighborhood. Residents pointed to a pair of ordinances — one the council had just passed and another that had just been proposed — that they said helped Goodwill by streamlining the process for opening secondhand stores and requiring its non-profit competitors to go through a use-permit process to place donation bins around the city.
In the year before Goodwill’s announcement, city staff members had started working to update zoning ordinances. The plan to change requirements for special-use permits generated little or no controversy. A task force finished its work in March 2012 with a list of 47 recommendations, none of which addressed secondhand stores.
A city staff report in late August 2012 said Goodwill had asked for an additional change: eliminating special-use permits for secondhand stores. It is unclear if this request occurred before or after Etter joined the city on Aug. 20, 2012.
Staff members agreed, with one exception: The new plan still required notification of residents and homeowners associations in the vicinity of a proposed secondhand store.
That meant even if a store wasn’t required to get a permit, a public hearing would have to be held before a secondhand store could be approved. The new plan went through a lengthy public discussion process and was OK’d by several Phoenix village planning committees before being presented to the City Council for a vote in November.
Sometime between the planning committee approval and the City Council vote, the language requiring neighborhood notification and public hearings was removed from the proposed ordinance.
Gates, who was the council’s point man on both zoning changes, moved for approval of the ordinance, which the council passed 7-1.
Gates said he did not know the notification requirements ever were part of the plan. He said neither he nor Etter was involved in putting together the ordinance. Gates’ and Etter’s names were not mentioned in the staff reports.
“No one approached me about that,” Gates said.
Gates said the use-permit revisions were part of a larger process to examine ways to attract tenants to the city’s empty big-box stores. He said he was not especially focused on the elimination of special-use permits for secondhand stores.
“We looked at areas of use permits that we ought to possibly remove

For those possessing an even higher exclusive taste the Mercedes-Benz M-Clcar the BMW X5 the Audi Q7 and the Porsche Cayenne SUVs are going to suffice.Trying to get good mileage from an SUV can be very tricky at times because they are big very powerful and have four wheel drives. Many people pull a trailer behind their SUV making the gas mileage even worse. Police Auctions Met it makes good sense to improve the gas mileage for that owner’s who enjoy the open road and the power they get while driving their SUV.
These values tell
option traders how the theoretical value of the option will change given certain changes in variables. The Greeks are an invaluable tool in portfolio hedging. * Model Inputs From the formula the Black Scholes model requires six (6) factors or inputs in order to value an option contract.
Prices of different Maruti Suzuki models have also decreased by Rs 14000-37000 Honda by Rs 25000-40000 whereas the cost of cars for Indus motors have dropped by Rs 24000-40000. The same is not true for all the variants of cars. Since the cost of increase in petrol is causing companies to decrease the rates of their cars running on petrol at the same time no decrease is seen on the cars running on gas or diesel.
Thankfully online resources the attractive monster ought to existed in your neighborhood i really received a few more glances and discovered it had been and F650. Since I dont shell out any attention for you to professional automobiles We didnt understand Ford created everything earlier a great F450 in the their own Y series. The image down below this kind of section is usually of your custom made F650. The commercial kinds arent Police Auctions Met really as pretty. 😉 I cant really envision what you are likely to perform with this type of sizable monster. Few garages may residence this thing a minimum of on a common house.
If you are having a Police Auctions Met buffet dinner try to avoid setting up the food tables in such a way that people have to walk through a maze in order to get there. If the hall is really large consider having more than one buffet station so that all your guests have easy access to their food. One last finishing
touch: Check out the tables to make sure that they are in good working condition.
The best direct suppliers to the vehicle manufacturers (Tier 1 suppliers) also utilize similar technology focusing on supplier integration and the sharing of data up and down the supply chain. However this level of sophistication is costly and benefits can only be realized if systems are implemented and used efficiently. This is where automotive supply chain consultants can play their part.
As you can see a 20 year old truck is clearly superior to a Prius in every way. Not only will you have much more utility with the truck but it is cheaper to on as well. So I only ask that the next time a Prius blazes down the highway at ludicrous speed firm in the belief that they are saving the world take a moment and truly think how much more awesome and efficient your truck is.
The listing price for the Jeep Overland Limited Jogging Stroller is $239.99 over one hundred dollars less than the BOB Revolution priced at $389.00. That is a big difference. However you must also keep in mind that the BOB’ resale value is also through the roof. You can sell a used BOB for nearly the same price as you can buy a new Jeep Overland. The reason for that is that the BOB has a HUGE following.
On the comfort side new door seals and window seals may be needed to stop rattles and drafts. The heater may need some attention. On my Kombi the heater cables had seized.
Mercedes Benz and Honda made them available as options and Porsche offered them as standard equipment in its 944 model. In 1990 Chrysler an industry leader at the time integrated airbags into its entire array of vehicles and this inspired many others to do the same. Audi had finally caught up by 1994 when it introduced airbags into many of its best selling models.
Because for the amount of money that you could spend buying a new Sport Utility Vehicle you could get something that was REALLY fuel-efficient–such as a Honda hybrid car or Toyota Prius–and save $400 per month in fuel savings alone! You just may come to the conclusion that you don’t even need or want a big gas-guzzling sport utility vehicle. Because if you don’t have to carry around much cargo and don’t drive in the snow why pay extra money for a SUV? Instead invest in a hybrid electric car and help America gain independence from the choke-hold that the middle east has on the United States economy.At the time of writing fuel prices – for both diesel and petrol – in the United Kingdom are continuing to rise
- Because if you don’t have to carry around much

Knaresborough town centre is due to benefit the first stage of a rollout of free public Wi-Fi. November will see its launch, following launches already in Ripon and elsewhere.
This first rollout stage is limited to Knaresborough High Street but further launches will extend the reach of the Wi-Fi to other parts of the town centre. Harrogate Borough Council has assisted North Yorkshire County Council with funding for the Knaresborough rollout.
Town centre councillor, Ed Darling, commented: “This is the first stage of a wider rollout plan for free Wi-Fi for our town centre. It has long been in the works and will benefit residents and visitors doing their shopping, and help market traders with electronic payments.
News about further launches extending the service beyond the High Street will be shared in InTouch and on our community website, Community News.

Nissan has taken the approach of constantly fine-tuning its performance halo model, the GT-R, since its launch over 10 years ago. This year the company has created the Nissan GT-R 50th Anniversary edition to celebrate 50 years of GT-R racing history. This isn’t to be confused with the special GT-R50 that was unveiled last year. Click here to learn more of this stunning creation.
An American debut
The latest upgrade to the R35 generation GT-R was launched at the New York International Auto Show, in the US, where it will be sold as a 2020 model. The 2020 Nissan GT-R will come in three trim levels in most markets: Premium, Track Edition and Nismo, but it is the Nissan GT-R 50th Anniversary that aficionados will be after.
New turbochargers and exhaust manifolds, inspired by racing technology, are in part responsible for the slight upgrade in power. The GT-R’s exhaust note is sung through a new titanium muffler, featuring titanium finishers with burnished blue tips. Max power from the twin-turbocharged 3,8-litre V6 is now rated as 441 kW with 652 N.m of torque.
To transmit this added power to the road the Nissan GT-R 50th Anniversary features a revised six-speed dual-clutch transmission with a refined “R mode,” made for both road and track. This revised transmission features more aggressive downshifts with gear selection taking place during ABS engagement, resulting in reduced understeer.
Steering feel has also been tuned to be more linear and precise than ever. A new brake booster increases the initial braking response by engaging with less pedal stroke, resulting in enhanced stopping power and feel.
Special colours and interior
The Nissan GT-R 50th Anniversary will come in three, two-tone exterior colour combinations meant to represent the GT-R’s liveries from the Japan GP series. Bayside Blue with white racing stripes, Pearl White with red stripes and Super Silver with white stripes.
Inside the 50th Anniversary Edition is a special grey interior colour scheme. Additional model-specific features include unique steering wheel and shift knob trim, special seat embossing, an Alcantara headliner with unique stitching and Alcantara-wrapped sunvisors.
In their own words
“A GT-R is about total balance management,” said Hiroshi Tamura, chief product specialist for the GT-R. “It is not about chasing power figures, but creating a new GT-R, where no aspect has been overlooked. This is appropriate to celebrate the GT-R 50th anniversary. With the 2020 GT-R, we kept to the car’s concept – pursuing ultimate driving pleasure. Once you take hold of the steering wheel, you will immediately know that no other car in the world delivers as much satisfaction to the driver, both physically and spiritually.”
“The Nissan GT-R has been the icon of our company’s driving performance for the past half-century,” said Shinichiro Irie, program design director for the GT-R. “We were highly motivated to ensure that the GT-R 50th Anniversary Edition stands out. While the exterior and interior changes may seem subtle at first glance, they’re still impactful, especially with the new paint schemes, keeping the car’s lines and overall presence modern and edgy.”

This book is much better than the introduction blurb suggests. Thank goodness I don’t give too much attention to these as it gives an impression of a different book to the one I have read.
Ruby is a messed up girl who is desperate to find her own place in the world, desperate for her parent’s love that every child deserves. It seemed to me that the whole village knew how she has been treated by her father and it made me angry that no one did anything to stop it, but I suppose such were the days.
Finding out that Mick and Barbara are not her real parents certainly explained Mick’s awful behaviour towards her. It also sends Ruby on a downwards spiral whilst trying to find her family, living with the strange people in place she doesn’t understand.
There are elements of the supernatural throughout the novel as it changes from Ruby’s story to the voice of Shadow – Ruby’s constant companion – the only ‘person’ that has been there for her as long as she can remember and the one that helps her on her way of discovery, pain, friendships and light.
This book is beautifully written. It’s an emotional journey for the characters as well as the reader. It’s something different and it certainly stands out among a sea of the ever so popular thrillers and crime novels. It’s one to read and to remember.
Thank you to the author and NetGalley for access to this book in return for this honest review....more
I thoroughly enjoy suspense crime novels and this one was no different. Add a little bit of a nice guy and romance and you have the perfect book.
When Emily returns home one day unexpectedly early, she finds herself in the middle of a complete nightmare that forced her to make live changing choice. She ends up having to leave everything behind in London and move in with her estranged mother and sister in California, a place she never thought she would end up after her mother left her behind at a young age.
She is angry, sad and awkward, especially since her half-sister Harriet seems to do her utmost to carry on as nothing ever happened.
She finally starts to feel some normality when she’s offered a job, which conveniently comes with a very handsome owner who seems to have the hots for her.
The writing was great and kept you guessing as to who the bad guy is. The story has some good twist, nice little spark of romance and plenty of good, likeable characters.
Thank you to the author and #TBConFB for access to this book in return for this honest review....more
I love Eddie Collins. Especially his grumpy, no-nonsense approach to anyone who rubs him up the wrong way – which seems to be most people he works witI love Eddie Collins. Especially his grumpy, no-nonsense approach to anyone who rubs him up the wrong way – which seems to be most people he works with.
Interestingly though, when he gets the note, he seems to forget everything he has learned in his job and drives straight into danger’s arms.
This is a very quick, entertaining read that keeps you glued to the pages until you can breathe a sigh of relief at the end. For a short thriller story I also found myself giggling at Eddie’s demeanor in the face of death as Andrew Barrett somehow manages to make Eddie seem very real, which is exactly the sort of character I like in a book.
Thank you to the Andrew Barrett for access to this book in return for this honest review....more
Oh how I missed fantasy books about the fae folk. I would say my reading is quite varied but coming back to this sort of novel was just so lovely. Not what I fully expected when I read the blurb, but enjoyable nonetheless.
I have read some of the negative reviews regarding the credibility of the Native American history, but really this book doesn’t state it’s based on facts. This is a work of fiction. And if you are going to throw in fairies and fae-hunters, you must ask yourself whether the facts are really that important.
But away from that. I loved it. This book only lost one star because the only character I kind of warmed to was Cruz and I felt I needed more of him. I have a niggling feeling that he is going to become a very important part of the storyline going forward and I hope he is given more time in the next books. Catori annoyed me at times, especially when it came to her indecisiveness, but she is young and kind of thrown into the deep end, so I can live with her flaws – I suppose no one is perfect.
I can’t say more about the story without spoiling in, but I can say that for me this was a great escape from a reality into a world that I can’t wait to read more about.
Thank you to the author and

Go check: Do you have the binge drinking gene?
People who make the transition from moderate drinkers to problem drinkers may have their genes to blame. Researchers have found that a tiny segment of genetic material known as a microRNA plays a central role in this and other alcohol use disorders.Updated: Oct 23, 2014 15:32 IST
People who make the transition from moderate drinkers to problem drinkers may have their genes to blame, according to new research. Researchers at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) have found that a tiny segment of genetic material known as a microRNA plays a central role in the transition from moderate drinking to binge drinking and other alcohol use disorders.
Previous research in the UCSF laboratory of Dorit Ron, Endowed Chair of Cell Biology of Addiction in Neurology, has demonstrated that the level of a protein known as brain-derived neurotrophic factor, or BDNF, is increased in the brain when alcohol is consumed in moderation.
In turn, experiments in Ron's lab have shown, BDNF prevents the development of alcohol use disorders. In the new study, Ron and first author Emmanuel Darcq, a
former post-doctoral fellow now at McGill University in Canada, found that when mice consumed excessive amounts of alcohol for a prolonged period, there was a marked decrease in the amount of BDNF in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), a brain region important for decision making.
The decline was associated with a corresponding increase in the level of a microRNA called miR-30a-5p. MicroRNAs lower the levels of proteins such as BDNF by binding to messenger RNA, the molecular middleman that carries instructions from genes to the protein-making machinery of the cell, and tagging it for destruction.
Ron and colleagues then showed that if they increased the levels of miR-30a-5p in the mPFC, BDNF was reduced, and the mice consumed large amounts of alcohol. When mice were treated with an inhibitor of miR-30a-5p, however, the level of BDNF in the mPFC was restored to normal and alcohol consumption was restored to normal, moderate levels.
"Our results suggest BDNF protects against the transition from moderate to uncontrolled drinking and alcohol use disorders," said Ron, senior author of the study and a professor in UCSF's Department of Neurology. "When there is a breakdown in this protective pathway, however, uncontrolled excessive drinking develops, and microRNAs are a possible mechanism in this breakdown.
"This mechanism may be one possible explanation as to why 10% of the population develop alcohol use disorders and this study may be helpful for the development of future medications to treat this devastating disease," said Ron. The study was published in the journal Molecular Psychiatry.

Why feeding premium food to your pet is best
Given there is just so much information out there and a so many different choices and offerings, it can all get a bit confusing, even for those of us who work within the industry.
Perhaps you have wondered why you would buy a premium pet food for your pet, or even pondered what being premium even means for a pet food?
What is an ideal pet food anyway?
Well truth be told, there are no secrets when it comes to what is considered an ideal pet food.
It needs to be;
- Palatable (AKA tasty!): this is not just about flavour but also extends to aroma, texture and even shape!
- Complete and balanced: contains all the nutrients a pet needs in the right proportions
- Highly digestible: so that pets can gain maximum nutritional value from the diet
- Of appropriate caloric density provides adequate energy for the pet depending on age and activity level
- Appropriate for that pet’s life stage, as nutritional needs vary throughout a pet’s life
- Safe: a diet must cause no harm
What makes a pet food truly premium?
Life stage nutrition
This means that the food has been designed to be fed for an intended life stage e.g. puppy, adult, mature adult. A food that is aimed at “all life stages” or for “growth and maintenance” may sound like a great idea as you can feed the one diet throughout the pet’s life. However, these diets need to contain enough nutrients (energy, fat, minerals) to meet the needs of growing puppies or kittens, which means they may contain an excess of certain nutrients for an adult or mature pet which may lead to problems such as obesity. A true premium food is complete and balanced for its nutritional purpose.
Premium foods will be formulated to meet the nutritional profiles defined in a globally recognised International nutritional publication (INP), such as the Association of American Feed Control Officials AAFCO Official Publication in the US, or the FEDIAF Nutritional Guidelines in Europe. Premium foods manufactured outside of Europe will contain an AAFCO statement on the label:
“Food ‘x’ is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for maintenance of adult dogs” meaning the food meets the nutrient requirements of the guideline on paper. However, it gives no information on how well the animal can digest and use those nutrients.
“Animal feeding tests using AAFCO procedures substantiate that food ‘x’ provides complete and balanced nutrition for maintenance of adult dogs” meaning the food has passed an AAFCO feeding trial where it was fed as the sole diet to dogs and cats for at least six months. During the feeding trial the animals undergo regular clinical examinations, weight checks and blood tests to ensure they remain healthy. This method provides greater assurance that a food is fit for the purpose for which it was designed.
Many low-cost foods have variable rather than fixed formulations. For example, the ingredient list may say “meat and meat by-products derived from beef and/or pork and/or lamb and/or chicken”.. This means that each batch of food may vary in the ingredients it contains depending on market availability or price. What this means for your pet is that each time you buy the product, the ingredients may be different, which increases the chance of gastrointestinal upsets. Maintaining a fixed formulation, as is used in premium foods, is more costly than a variable formulation.
High quality ingredients
This is difficult to tell as manufacturers are not allowed to include a quality statement in the ingredient list e.g “A” grade yellow corn may the actual ingredient, but you can only state “corn” on the list. This inability to express ingredient quality allows the use of poorer quality ingredients into a food. The use of chicken meal is a classic example – premium diets will contain high quality chicken meal (with minimal to no bone content – AKA “low ash”), whereas lower quality diets will contain lower quality meals which contain a significant amount of bone and hence excess minerals. The only way you can determine quality is by looking at the label or speaking to the manufacturer to determine ash and/or mineral content.
There are also other ingredients that may be included in premium diets for health benefits. Examples include antioxidants which help fight free radical production and help ensure a healthy immune system, and omega 3 and 6 fatty acids which help reduce inflammation and enhance hair and coat quality.
Other things to look for in a premium food
- Strong veterinary recommendation
- 100% money back guarantee
- Commitment to quality and safety
- Research and development
- Customer service
So, in summary, when compared to non-premium foods, premium foods offer many benefits to your pet because they have:
- Fixed formulation from batch to batch, reducing risk of stomach upsets, vomiting and diarrhoea
- Higher and consistent ingredient quality
- Higher digestibility

You may have heard of King Arthur, with his interminable search for the holy grail. In one film renditiona, the secret of the grail is simply that the land and Arthur are one. As one thrives, so does the other and, unfortunately, as one suffers the other suffers as well. It is a wonderful illustration of interdependence, in which changes to one partner in a relationship can significantly impact the other.
What does any of this have to do with skin care? Quite a bit, when you closely examine the interrelationship between the dermal layer of the skin and its main constituent cell type—the dermal fibroblast.
The dermal layer of the skin consists of densely packed extracellular matrix (ECM) components, such as collagen and elastin proteins, which provide the structural strength and elasticity to skin; alongside glycosaminoglycans, proteoglycans and glycoproteins. Of all of these components, collagen is by far the most abundant and comprises about 90% of the skin’s dry weight, with type I collagen being the predominate type.1
As is well-understood, the main source of production for all of these ECM components is dermal fibroblasts, with the rate of production controlled by various hormonal, autocrine, paracrine and physical factors. Indeed, increasing the production of these ECM components is one of the main targets for cosmetic active ingredients, as the inevitable reduction in their production, e.g., due to aging and sun exposure, is associated with the undesirable fine lines and wrinkles, as well as sagging and thinning skin, which drives our industry. Unfortunately, though, the focus is too often targeted on the fibroblast alone as experiments are planned. We assume the process flows in a single direction: active ingredients stimulate the fibroblast and in return, the fibroblast makes more of the target ECM component and the ECM component makes its way into the ECM—end of process.
This is essentially how it works in most in vitro experiments, and it is a good model to screen for in vivo efficacy in younger individuals. However, the process becomes vastly more complicated with both chronological aging and sun exposure. Under these conditions, the ECM becomes damaged, and this damage in the ECM can have a feedback effect on the fibroblast. This can produce drastic and adverse consequences on the fibroblast, such as stimulating an increase in MMP production; shutting down collagen synthesis pathways; and even driving the fibroblast into an early senescence.2 In essence, the damaged ECM signals the fibroblast to not only shut down the pathways responsible for synthesizing the ECM components, but also to become unresponsive to any stimuli that would turn these pathways back on. This list of stimuli could potentially include cosmetic actives, in which case the efficacy of an active could decline as the age of the user increases.
So what is the type of ECM damage associated with these adverse effects on fibroblasts? And can it be prevented or countered?
One of the more prominent forms of ECM damage occurring with aging and sun exposure is collagen fragmentation. The initial driving mechanism is thought to be caused by ROS formation.3 With chronological aging, intracellular ROS formation occurs slowly but steadily over time as a result of normal cellular functions, such as mitochondrial metabolism. In contrast, ROS formation can be rapidly and quite significantly increased with UV exposure. Unfortunately, the skin that undergoes both chronological aging and is exposed to UV can experience the additive effect of both ROS sources.

The International Science Council’s Committee on Data (CODATA) and World Data System (WDS), and the Research Data Alliance (RDA) can announce that the theme of International Data Week (IDW) 2021 will be ‘Data to Improve Our World’.
In the era of the fourth industrial revolution, data have become an important resource that drives science and technology and leads to new discoveries, innovation, and economic growth.
We are now capable of producing and analyzing enormous quantities of data: in principle, everything in the universe in which we are living can be represented by data. As a result there is a growing emphasis on data: the development of a science of data, of data infrastructures and important debates over how data is governed and managed. With education, regulation and the necessary infrastructures and processes, data can be used to improve our lives and the world around us.
Open Science and the FAIR Principles are important enablers of discovery and innovation, particularly the use of Big Data and Artificial Intelligence. In 2021, will likely see the adoption by UNESCO of a landmark recommendation on Open Science recognising its importance to help us to address the major global challenges faced by our societies. Access to trustworthy and FAIR data is a precondition to the science needed to enable us to reduce the impact of diseases, mitigate climate change, and become more resilient to risks posed by natural and human-made disasters.
It is in the above spirit that International Data Week 2021 is convened under the overarching theme of ‘Data to Improve Our World’. In addition to highlighting the need for data education and governance, demonstrating the importance of high-quality research data stewardship, data science, and data infrastructures, and exploring the ‘state of the art’ in all things data, IDW 2021 will also emphasise the following subthemes:
- Research Transparency and Reproducibility
- Data, Research, and Industry: The Interface between Data-intensive Research and Innovation
- Empowering and Enabling Society: Data (Science) Education and Data Literacy
- Transdisciplinary Research and Citizen Science
IDW 2021 will be held on 8–11 November 2021 in Seoul, South Korea, and hosted by the Korea Institute of Science and Technology Information (KISTI), committed by the Ministry of Science and ICT, Seoul Metropolitan Government, National Library of Korea, and National Assembly Library, with the support of the Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science (KRISS) and Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU).
This landmark event will bring together data scientists, researchers, industry leaders, entrepreneurs, policymakers, and data stewards from disciplines across the globe to explore how best to exploit the data revolution to improve science and society through data-driven discovery and innovation. IDW 2021 combines the 18th RDA Plenary Meeting, the biannual meeting of this international member organization working to develop and support global infrastructure facilitating data sharing and reuse, and SciDataCon 2021, the scientific conference addressing the frontiers of data in research organized by CODATA and WDS.

Perryman offers perspective on global oil markets
Published 1:47 pm, Monday, August 3, 2015
As crude prices resumed a decline that intensified last November, economist Ray Perryman pondered where the oil industry’s economic cycle has been and where it is headed.
Perryman was invited by the Exchange Club of Midland to address the global oil markets and their impact on the Permian Basin. He began by offering some historical perspective on previous and current oil boom-and-bust cycles.
“Recently we’ve heard a lot of talk about the ‘Texas oil boom,’ but that’s nothing compared to the Texas miracle of 1978-1981,” he told the audience.
In that four-year period, the U.S. lost 200,000 jobs as the economy was rattled by the oil shocks of the 1973 Arab Oil Embargo and then the 1979 Iranian Revolution. In that same four years, Texas added 800,000 jobs.
In 1982, the Texas oil bust began when oil prices fell by $1 a barrel.
“The reason prices fell was, at that point everything was built on oil prices increasing year after year. Everything was highly leveraged,” he said.
He said that oil analyst Dan Lundberg, in his well-known newsletter, had the headline “$85 in ’85” regarding oil prices.
At the same time, new tax laws had prompted a real estate boom. But by 1986, when crude prices collapsed to $10 a barrel, those tax laws were rewritten, adding a real estate bust to the mix.
Today’s oil fields aren’t as leveraged as they were then, Perryman said.
In addition, “there are still unconventional wells that are economic, there are still shale wells that make economic sense at $35 a barrel. While a year ago, many producers were saying the break-even costs of their shale wells was about $70 to $80 a barrel, that is now about $60 today.
“We’ll see some of the economic numbers worsen as this plays out, but it won’t be an issue as it was in the 1980s,” he said.
While many are familiar with the 1973 Arab Oil Embargo, less well-known is the fact that is the same year Texas oil production began to decline, Perryman said. That trend would continue for about 35 years, until operators developed technology that opened shale formations to production, sending domestic production soaring. Texas alone has seen production increase 350 percent in just four years, Perryman said.
That has completely changed the dynamics of global oil markets. The United States now has a bigger role in global markets and a greater ability to move markets, he said.
Lifting the 40-year-old ban on exporting domestic crude would help “some,” he said. Explaining that the differential between West Texas Intermediate and Brent is about $10 a barrel, allowing exports would let area producers gain an additional $6 or $7 a barrel. Exporting crude won’t be a panacea, “but it would help some,” he said.
As to where the oil industry — and the Permian Basin — go from here, Perryman suggested the November meeting of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries could offer some guidance.
Despite Saudi Arabia’s determination to preserve market share, Perryman said that the kingdom needs high oil prices to fund a significant number of social programs. Other OPEC members are also seeing significant economic damage from the fall of oil prices.
November will give an indication of whether OPEC members are willing to continue enduring the economic squeeze of low oil prices for the sake of market share or whether they’re willing to cut production and boost prices, he said.

Causes and Symptoms of Nephrotic Syndrome
In our body, Proteins are responsible for soaking up water from tissues. Normally, proteins are blocked from leakage by a kidney filtrating units called as glomeruli. When glomeruli get damaged, the protein is excreted outside with urine, causing reduction of plasma protein and leading to swelling in face, eyes, feet and hands. Main causes and symptoms of Nephrotic Syndrome are shown as follows.
Causes of Nephrotic Syndrome
1. Primary kidney diseases
Primary kidney diseases that can cause Nephrotic Syndrome mainly include Primary Glomerular Disease, Acute or Chronic Glomerulonephritis.
2. Systemic diseases
Systemic diseases such as diabetes mellitus, systemic lupus erythematosus, and multiple myeloma can affect multiple organs and systems in the body, one among them being kidney.
In some cases, Nephrotic Syndrome can be resulted or affected by infections such as malaria, infective endocarditis, hepatitis B and C, syphilis, streptococcal throat infection and so on.
Nephrotic Syndrome tend to appear in individuals with family history or prior history of allergy.
5. Medicine toxicity
Certain modern medicines such as antibiotics, antihypertensive medicines, gold preparations may induce Nephrotic Syndrome in sensitive individual.
Symptoms of Nephrotic Syndrome may include
Nephrotic Syndrome is characterized by proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, and hyperlipidemia. The first noticeable outcome of all these metabolic deviations is edema or bloating of the body.
Oliguria means reduction in the quantity of normal urine.
Occasionally, patients with Nephrotic Syndrome presents suffer from gross hematuria.
4. Respiratory distress
If ascites appears obviously, patients usually suffer from respiratory distress, with breathing difficulty or rapid breathing.
5. High blood pressure
Elevated blood pressure is common among patients with Patients of Nephrotic Syndrome, whether young or old.
In addition, caused by swelling in bowel wall, patients commonly present diarrhea. Nephrotic Syndrome patients also commonly have loss of appetite, feel fatigued, and appear pale.
Above all are the causes and symptoms of Nephrotic Syndrome, hope it has helped help you understand the disease better.

Parovicenko space (Redirected from Parovicenko's theorem) Jump to navigation Jump to search In mathematics, a Parovicenko space is a topological space similar to the space of non-isolated points of the Stone–Čech compactification of the integers.
Definition A Parovicenko space is a topological space X satisfying the following conditions: X is compact Hausdorff X has no isolated points X has weight c, the cardinality of the continuum (this is the smallest cardinality of a base for the topology). Every two disjoint open Fσ subsets of X have disjoint closures Every non-empty Gδ of X has non-empty interior. Properties The space βNN is a Parovicenko space, where βN is the Stone–Čech compactification of the natural numbers N. Parovicenko (1963) proved that the continuum hypothesis implies that every Parovicenko space is isomorphic[clarification needed] to βNN. van Douwen & van Mill (1978) showed that if the continuum hypothesis is false then there are other examples of Parovicenko spaces.

Please keep up with all of my old Graphic Novel Reviews here as I quest for 365 in 365 days!
Brian K. Vaughan Week continues with a book that has been nominated for Eisner Awards since it’s been in publication. I’m talking of course of Saga.
Author(s): Brian K. Vaughan, Fiona Staples
Publisher: Image (2012)
Age Rating: 17+
Saga is one of those books that people coming to comics or coming back to comics will always get recommended to them. It’s a fantastically rich story with amazing characters, an enormous world, and the art of Fiona Staples. Little known fact, Fiona Staples is one of my FAVORITE artists, and I was lucky enough to get a pic with her at Denver Comic Con a few years ago.
You can explain Saga to people the same way I’ve heard it explained a million times: take Star Wars, mix it with Lord of the Rings, and add some Romeo and Juliet…then take what you have, and make it creative! That’s how good Saga is. Like The Walking Dead, Saga makes people into comics readers.
It’s for sure 17+. The nudity and sex make it so. Don’t accidentally leave your copy in your classroom; you might get a phone call from a curious kid’s parents that stole your copy. It’s not safe for work. But it is really good. Just know…it’s not safe for work.
I must admit, I’m not caught up on the series. It’s going strong, and I hear, it’s still been fantastic. Brian K. Vaughan has a knack for detailed story telling and world building that is second to none. When you add the art of Fiona Staples, you have an instant classic. Saga could go down as the next Watchmen…if the story is still as good as it was when I stopped reading.
And you will not read a book from my list with more interesting characters than Saga. There are some that come close, but Lying Cat alone ensures none will top that chart:
Yep, it’s a cat that knows when you are lying. I could go on and on listing the cool characters like The Will and The Robot Prince, but I have stuff to grade, and you have to go start collecting Brian K. Vaughan books.
Please share with #365GN

ABMP connected with epidemiologist Tessa Crume, PhD, an associate professor in the Epidemiology Department at the Colorado School of Health at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, to get her expert advice on this member’s question.
ABMP has been proud to partner with pathology expert and leading educator Ruth Werner over the years. Ruth is an invaluable resource to the profession, and has been an amazing source of information and support during this COVID-19 pandemic, to our ABMP members especially.
What is “emergency remote learning”? Join us in this latest episode of The ABMP Podcast’s series “Conversations in Quarantine” as authors and educators Whitney Lowe and Til Luchau discuss the quick adjustments continuing education providers have had to make for teaching/learning during COVID-19.
Hyperice, a recovery and wellness technology brand that specializes in vibration, compression, and percussion devices, has created treatments and protocols with the goal of bringing back safe and effective massage practices to help people live and feel better.
Events in recent weeks remind us how far we have to go toward equity. The senseless killing of George Floyd, one of the latest in a recent, and historical, series of acts of violence perpetrated against Black men and women, sickens and saddens us.

Diving Gili Tepekong & Mimpang
Gili Tepekong & Mimpang are a complex of 4 big rocks (gili means little island in indonesian language) that hides underneath exciting and beautiful marine life. The access to these dive sites is from Padangbai a small coastal town in eastern Bali, just one hour from Sanur. We will take a 20 minutes boat ride to the dive sites and then we are ready to go. Usually they are exposed to unpredictable currents that sometimes can be really strong and challenging. Your guide knows how to navigate and handle them, making it an adventurous but still safe experience. Thanks to the current here the water is most of the times clear and rich of fish. And guess what, if you’re lucky sometimes during summer you can even have a chance to encounter mola mola usually founded in Nusa Penida, that may come here in larger groups.
Gili Tepekong is a big rock formation and the dive site is right below of it. Here the wall drops down very steep giving a stunning panoramic view. The coral is very healthy and the marine life rich. You can see many fish and it won’t be that difficult to spot big stuff like grey reef sharks, eagle rays, barracudas and if it’s your day here you can even encounter mola mola.
In Gili Mimpang the dive site is formed by 3 rocks standing between Gili Tepekong and mainland Padangbai. They are caracterized by a quiet steep wall that goes down to 30m depth. Turtles, sea fans, and healthy corals make the vibes at this dive site. Very common here is to see some white tip sharks that swim beneath you, close to the bottom.
Day trip Gili Tepekong&Mimpang
- 3 dives
- We will pick you up around 7am at your accomodation
- Around 8am is the departure to Padangbai and we will arrive around 9am
- We will do 3 dives from the local boat (Jukung): 2 dives in Gili Tepekong-Mimpang, lunch on the boat and then the last dive in Padangbai
- Back to the shore, we will have shower and then drive back to your accomodation
- Certified as Advanced Open Water Diver with at least 20 logged dives

JACKSON, Ohio (WOWK) – When the winter months roll around, sometimes it’s hard for off-road racers in the Tri-State area to find a track to race on, but in Southeast Ohio, there is a track that offers racing no matter what the weather is like outside.
The sound of engines revving could be heard in Jackson, Ohio as off-road-racers competed in an exhaust filled Henderson Indoor Arena for the Fasttraxx Battle in the Barn, a competition designed for dirt bike and ATV racers during the winter months.
“If it’s raining outside… its wintertime… people are looking for a place to ride, and we have a place for them to ride their motorcycles in the winter,” said Norm Bickley, organizer of Fasttraxx Battle in the Barn.
Bickley said Battle in the Barn is part of the nine-round Fastraxx Winter Series that ends in February. The two-day competition attracted more than 200 racers this weekend from all over the area, including 61-year-old Scott Johnson, who said you are never too old to do what you love.
“When you stop doing what you are passionate about that’s when you start going downhill. You just have to be focused, positive and take care of yourself,” said Johnson.
There were thirty-two races held on Friday night, based on age and skill level. Eleven-year-old Katie Cullen was one of the competitors in the event, and she said there is nothing a boy can do that a girl can’t do better.
“It doesn’t matter that I am a girl. I can do better,” said Cullen.
She also said that when she isn’t racing her ATV on the track she competes in beauty pageants, but she said she enjoys racing more because she likes to, “go fast and get muddy.”
Cullen said she was pumped for her race Friday night and ready to beat her boyfriend, but on a 65-degree night in January, she said she would have liked to race outdoors.
“There is more space and bigger jumps...outdoors there can be mud puddles... and bigger mud puddles,” said Cullen.
Bickely said the top three finishers receive trophies, but everyone who competes in Battle in the Barn receives participation trophies.
The next Fasttraxx series event is January 24-25.

KOLKATA: A flight was grounded in Kolkata airport on Monday after smoke was detected spewing out of an engine but engineers failed to detect any fire.
The SpiceJet Boeing B-737 800 aircraft was taxiing for takeoff around 7.15am when a fireman at the airport detected smoke from the left engine and alerted the air traffic control tower. The controller contacted the pilot at once. Though the fire alarm in cockpit remained mute, the pilot did not take any chance with 160 persons on board and returned to the parking bay. The Bangalore-bound passengers were put on another aircraft.
A team of engineers began inspecting the plane to detect the cause of smoke and a possible fire. But they failed to find anything wrong with the plane. The aircraft was cleared for operations and left for Chennai.

Nanocrystalline MgB2 produced by mechanical alloying has been shown to exhibit enhanced superconducting properties such as increased pinning and higher critical currents. However, the effects of the synthesis process on the intrinsic superconducting properties have not been addressed yet. We have investigated the superconducting gap structure of nanocrystalline MgB 2 pellets synthesized by high-energy ball milling employing specific heat measurements. We found that the larger σ-gap decreased whereas the smaller π-gap slightly increased in ball-milled MgB2 as compared to bulk samples synthesized along the standard routes. The data show that the ball-milling process introduces defects that enhance the interband scattering similar to irradiation with neutrons. The reduction of the σ-gap explains the lower superconducting transition temperature of 33 K.

The Irving Place Carriage House is situated on a leafy street in Brooklyn's Clinton Hill neighbourhood. An artist and gallery owner, and their daughter live in the residence, which dates to the 1930s and is surrounded by low-scale, brick buildings.
LOT-EK, a New York-based studio, was hired to revamp the two-storey home and to add a penthouse structure on the roof. The firm is well known for using shipping containers to create a range of projects, from pop-up shops to residential buildings.
For the New York carriage house, diagonal black and grey stripes were painted onto the facades. An original garage door and stepped roofline were retained, adding to the home's distinctive appearance.
Within the brick-walled dwelling, the architects inserted a bright orange, vertical volume that serves as an organising device. On the ground level, it separates the foyer and mudroom in the front of the home from the living area in the rear. On the second floor, it acts as a partition between the master bedroom and child's area.
The vertical enclosure, which is partly made of shipping containers, also has a programmatic purpose. The stairwell, kitchen and bathrooms, along with mechanical equipment, are all housed within the central structure.
"The space is organised through the insertion of a single volume that – as a jellyfish, resting its bell or umbrella on the roof – crosses with its tentacles the entire house, extending from the roof to the ground," the studio said.
The team used a range of materials and decor throughout the home. Polished concrete floors are paired with wooden and leather furnishings. Colourful artwork is affixed to white walls, and bikes dangle from exposed ceiling beams.
For the rooftop penthouse, four shipping containers were merged to create a cubic volume. Portions of the containers' corrugated walls were removed and filled in with diagonal bands of glass.
The team painted the enclosure red and orange, although it left portions of the walls untouched, revealing their industrial history. Inside, the penthouse features weathered wood flooring, a triangular bookshelf and an eclectic mix of decor.
Shipping containers have become a popular material for architects and designers. Bjarke Ingels Group used them to create a floating student housing complex in Copenhagen, and Canadian company Modpool has converted them into pools and jacuzzis that can be installed above or below ground.

The followup to the Mercedes-Benz S550, the S63 AMG, will sport a biturbocharged V8 that will likely turn out around 550 horsepower. The new engine is probably the 5.5-liter, biturbocharged V-8 that's been popping up in everything from the ML63 to the E63 AMG. The front fascia is more aggressive, which shouldn't come as a surprise, while a meaty exhaust setup can be found out back.
Tue, 05 Mar 2013 20:29:00 EST
We managed to pick all that up from a short, 17-second video posted by MB. The original video that unveiled the S63 AMG has since been pulled down, making this YouTube clip the best look we now have at the new super sedan, at least until the Germans give up the goods for real.
Be sure to check out the video below, along with our original posting on the S63 AMG.

No one in their right mind has ever accused German tuners Mansory of being subtle. So, when our Geneva team wandered across the Mansory Speranza - A Mercedes-Benz Gelandewagen that has been denuded of its roof and spackled inside with quilted leather and red carbon fiber - they didn't ask a lot of existential questions. Why does the Speranza exist? Because Germans are weird sometimes, that's why.
Forget for a moment that you'll have to pay Mansory hundreds of thousands of euros (we're guessing, no pricing information has been revealed) for the privilege of converting your G-Class into something that looks like a Suzuki Samurai, and prepare to be impressed by the details. The tuning house has increased the output of the Mercedes V8 to a healthy 700 horsepower and 668 pound-feet of torque. The wheels are 24-inches, and wear almost unbelievable 305-section ultra-high performance Vresdestein tires. Carbon fiber can be found nearly everywhere one looks, including making up the housing for the spare tire. Oh, and there are leather pillows for the backseats... no word on whether they're standard or optional, but we're looking in to it.
Ernst Lieb, the disgraced former CEO of American operations for Mercedes-Benz, will not be getting any more money from the Silver Arrow'd teat. His wrongful dismissal suit against MB's parent company, Daimler, was tossed out of a German appeals panel. This, followed the initial rejection by a lower court last year.
According to court documents acquired by Automotive News, Lieb was found to have "accepted payments of substantial value to which he - as he was aware - had no claim."
Lieb took over American operations from former CEO Paul Halata in September of 2006. Reports surfaced in October of 2011 that Lieb was dismissed from his posting at MB, with a variety of rumors swirling. Eventually, news broke that financial wrong doing was responsible for the German's firing.

Beautifully-shot stark landscapes and hung silences give subtlety and weight to The Here After's dark subject matter. Von Horn’s film does not shy away from the psychological triggers of and post traumatic stresses following murderous and violent sexual crimes.
Solemnly folding his sheets and packing his bag for his release in film's opening sequence, we do not yet know the severity of why John (Ulrick Munther) is leaving the young offender’s institution, or the events preceding his emotional reunion with his father. In fact, we are kept in the dark for the first half of von Horn's film. It is only when, faced with the prospect of a new relationship with grungy school outcast Malin (a gutsy performance by Loa Ek) is the truth revealed to us.
The Here After explores a fascinating and simultaneously disturbing myriad of perspectives affecting those involved in serious criminal offences. From the nuclear family to the perpetrator’s subsequent relationships to the wider public responses, Magnus von Horn’s new film is a tense and realistic drama with a lot of bite.

Between October and December 2020, the “Porsche Taycan Space” designed by VOK DAMS toured through various Chinese cities. The pop-up product presentation invited the public and VIPs in Jinan, Hangzhou and Chengdu to get to know the first fully electric Porsche. The aim was for the visitors to experience the fascination of the electric sports car in a personal environment, with a modern, open interior design and a stylish media presentation.
The car could be explored both physically and digitally: due to the possibility of configuring the interior and exterior according to personal preferences, each guest could be presented with a quite individual Porsche Taycan. The speed module and the racing simulator demonstrated the driving performance – and not least the sound of the first fully electric sports car by Porsche. Upon entering the room, the guests were able to design their own Taycan Space background and leave their personal handwritten signature. These individually created images could be shared throughout China including through WeChat.

'Turn the Towns Teal' coming to Florence
FLORENCE – The symptoms of ovarian cancer are subtle, and are often not discovered until the disease has progressed to an advanced stage.
But there will be nothing subtle about 60-70 teal ribbons going up along Mall Road on Sunday, Aug. 30.
Florence will join the national "Turn The Towns Teal" campaign to promote awareness of ovarian cancer throughout September.
"The city of Florence is happy to support National Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month during September through the 'Turn the Towns Teal' efforts of tying ribbons along the median of Mall Road," Mayor Diane Whalen said.
A group of volunteers led by Terri Williams, of Florence, will place the ribbons between 7 and 10 a.m. Sunday, a time city officials thought would be safest. A police officer in his cruiser with lights on will make the public aware to proceed with caution, Whalen said.
Williams said the Florence campaign moves forward in honor of Amy Lynn Williams Matalka, a niece who died from ovarian cancer. She hoped her niece's "angelic smile" will shine upon the Florence volunteers as they "Turn the Town Teal."
"Awareness is the key to knowledge and fundraising as they work to find a diagnostic test and treatment for this silent killer," Whalen said. "We are pleased to join this nationwide effort to raise awareness."
Residents can also participate in the cause by wearing or displaying a teal ribbon during the month of September.
Turn The Towns Teal will have representation in all 50 states as well as in Canada and Bermuda, said Jane MacNeil, president of the national Turn The Towns Teal organization.
TO LEARN MORE
You can find out the potential symptoms and risk factors of ovarian cancer at www.turnthetownsteal.org/symptoms.
The motto of Turn the Towns Teal is "The Earlier the Diagnosis – The Better the Prognosis."

A solid resting on a horizontal surface exerts a normal contact force equals to its weight. The pressure of the solid on the surface depends on the area of contact (A) and the weight (force)..
Factors Affecting Pressure in Solids Weight of the solid (force) If the area of contact between solid and surface is constant, pressure increases with weight. Area of contact of the solid with surface. The smaller the area, the higher the pressure if same force is applied. Therefore pressure can be reduced by increasing the area of contact..
A man whose mass is 90kg stands on a floor.. P= F/A = 900N/0.0368m 2 =24,456.5217N/m 2..
2. A block of a soap stone of dimension 4m by 2m by 3m is 48kg and is made to rest on a smooth horizontal surface a) Calculate the minimum pressure it exerts on the surface. b) Calculate the maximum pressure it will exert on the surface.
Pressure in fluids A fluid is a term that refers to either liquids and gases. The set up below can be used to illustrate pressure in fluids:.
A diver under water experiences pressure due to the weight of water above him plus the atmospheric pressure above the water surface. The deeper the diver, the greater the pressure..
. It is thus clear that pressure in fluids is directly proportional to the height of the column h, the density of the fluid ρ and the gravitational field strength g..
1. A diver working under water is 15 m below the surface of the sea. Calculate the pressure due to water experienced by the diver (take g=10N/kg) and density of sea water to be equal to 1.03g/cm3. P = hρg =15 m×1030 kg/m^3×10 N/kg =154500 N/m^2.
Next lesson we shall go through. Transmission of pressure in fluids.

On March 31st, TCM is showing Best Picture winner Marty-- the Little Miss Sunshine of 1955. With Marty, Oscar-winning trio Paddy Chayefsky, Delbert Mann, and Ernest Borgnine offered up an uplifting piece of cinema that is forever relevant.
"I'm just a fat, little man. A fat, ugly man," blurts Marty to his mother in a desparate admission of his lifelong dating frustrations. But Marty is ever hopeful. He gets it from the ladies at the butcher shop, gets it from his mother... but he has his friends, he has his work, and life isn't so bad.
In bringing Chayefsky's "kitchen sink" drama from the Golden Age of Television to the silver screen, little is lost of the intimacy by director Delbert Mann (who also did the TV version). Perhaps the only difference is in Borgnine's performance. But maybe this more overt approach over original lead Rod Steiger's internalizations, was necessary for the big screen-- could Steiger have pulled off the joie de vive that Borgnine delivers at the bus stop (after his first meeting with Clara) with such aplomb?
The film starts off with Marty getting lectured about why he isn't married now that his younger brother has just tied the knot. There is no hint of rumors of homosexuality (that would be in today's Marty), but something has got to be wrong-- at the very least isn't he ashamed, everyone wonders? Marty has bigger issues on his mind-- like buying out the butcher shop he works at; but his nagging loneliness hangs over him.
Marty's mother, played by Esther Minciotti, gets word that Marty could get a date by going to local singles scene, the Stardust Ballroom. Although Marty says he's been there many times before, he goes this Saturday night to please his mother (or to get far away from her nagging, perhaps). There he meets "dog" Clara, a schoolteacher who's an over-the-hill 29! They talk and talk, but the film never lags. Borginine's Marty has charm. The film convinces us that he's a "catch." And Betsy Blair's Clara, although painfully shy, seems to agree. Clara calls Marty a "nice guy"-- as much the kiss of death today as it was then. Marty starts to have doubts about Clara, mostly based on how others perceive her.
In an interesting subplot, Marty's cousin Tommy (Jerry Paris) and his wife Virginia (Karen Steele) are having marital troubles due to living with Tommy's mother ("Aunt Catherine," played by Augusta Ciolli). Tommy at one point lecutures Marty. Why should Marty want to get married? He's free from the responsiblity-- why spoil it? Is geting married-- chancing marrying the wrong person, worth the trouble? It might seem to leave a smudge on Marty's rose-colored glasses, but instead it suggests that Marty, who took so long to find his match, may have been luckier than some who perhaps rushed into marriage. And yet, it also shows that everything doesn't end up as one would expect in relationships. This was a necessary shade of gray for Marty's storyline, keeping the potential treckliness of the material as a whole at bay.
And so it goes. The film meets an inevitable conclusion and there are no groundbreaking cinematic moments, but the drama is solid, and the characters are real.
Marty was one of the defining films of the 1950s-- even internationally, as it won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. It's a "slight" film, without a grandious sweep, an unusual winner for the Best Picture Oscar, and surely the first major success by an independent film.
Marty (1955): An eternally relatable film, done on an appropriately modest scale, which may not be the height of all that cinema has to offer, but an example of what is dramatically possible.

Creating beautiful tiled flooring for residential properties
The trend for current hard flooring surfaces in modern residential homes means that there is a greater use of tiled flooring. While this is certainly aesthetically pleasing, often creating beautiful, clean interior spaces, it poses potential problems for the structure and integrity of buildings. This then causes problems to architects and contractors for their clients’ properties.
Using Movement Joints and CI+ Anti-Crack Matting in residential properties
By incorporating movement joints into early design concepts, architects and contractors are given confidence that their clients will have seamless tiled flooring that will remain permanently crack-free.
Movement joints can be placed around the door openings thus concealing them from any open spaces. The infill can also be produced in any RAL colour to match the tiled flooring surface.
– Designed to exceed BS5385
– Specified in any RAL colour
– Robust, durable and can cope with heavy stresses
CI+ Anti-Crack Matting
– Save time and money on your project, as it is quicker and cheaper than traditional methods of laying tiles
How we can help
We understand that architects and contractors are required to specify products that are fit for purpose and conform to building regulations. We provide high quality products together with competent advice and support, including product data, technical information, the latest British Standards legislation, product drawings and much more.

With time, the cohesive bonds of a coat of paint become stronger than the adhesive bonds. Things You Will Need Drop cloths Masking tape Paint scraper Wire brush Wall patching compound Putty knife Fine grit sandpaper Tack cloth Stain-blocking latex primer Paint tray 2-inch flat paintbrush Paint roller Interior latex paint Question: The paint on our bathroom ceiling and some part of our room walls are peeling off. Luckily, peeling paint on your walls and ceilings can be fixed—it's simply about removing the old coat and applying a new one, this time correctly. Answer: It could be one of the reasons in this article, but most likely water seepage or incompatible surface. If a corrosive substance comes into contact with a painted surface, it causes the coat to blister, crack, and finally peel off. Paint will begin to peel or crack if it's painted over a dirty surface. I'm almost certain that the cause is water from our neighbor's bathroom upstairs. Keep a trash can or other receptacle on hand so you can catch the loose paint chips as they fall and line the floor with a dropcloth in case you miss any flakes. Why has this paint peeled? I used Betonel VIP 100% acrylic latex paint on my bathroom wall. The paint coat is too old ; Exposed to water. This results in bulging, cracking, and finally, peeling. First of all, it’s worth knowing that an insufficient preparation of the surface to be paid such as a bad cleaning is a factor often implicated. If you can afford paint, see some related articles on this page to learn how to remove the old paint and repaint. What is the reason for paint to change its colour and also the cause of black patches on painted concrete walls. Opt for a quick-setting patching compound and apply it in a thin, even layer with a putty or broad knife. Get the Lead Out. Step by step how to fix / repair flaking peeling and bubbled paint. Condensation, which usually occurs during and after a rainstorm, can also ruin new coats of paint. We live in an end house so the smaller sometimes has damp as it is on the corner. Instead, try using a shop vacuum outfitted with a dust collection bag and a sanding attachment. The bathroom was recently renovated. Water-based paints stored in a tin can will cause the can to rust over time, which also ruins the paint. Cracking paint is the start of the process—it’s a clear sign that the paint job will start peeling or flaking eventually—whereas bubbling occurs when the coat of paint loses its adhesion and lifts away from the surface. Scrape off any loose paint with a scraper first. Protect your eyes from falling paint chips by wearing safety goggles, and where a dust mask to stop yourself from breathing in paint particles. Apply it in a thin layer, using a putty knife for this process. These fungi cause the layers of paint to lift up and flake. Spread a thin, even layer … Gear up with goggles and a face mask, because tiny flakes of paint are sure to go flying. The first step in repairing your bathroom walls and ceiling is removing the chipped spots. Paints do not stick to dirty surfaces. Also, a few months ago, the landlords replaced all the toilets in the building with new ones. Now that it starts to wither, you cannot help but feel ashamed of your own house. Januaris Saint Fores (author) from Intercontinental on October 02, 2018: It looks like the coat is not adhering properly to the surface, and yeah, your painter could be fixing it when the paint is still wet. A putty... Patch. Prepare the area for follow-up painting by removing or covering furniture. Don’t forget to protect your lungs from fine paint dust with a mask. Does anyone know why this might occur? For a coat of paint to stick properly, the surface … But it's important to choose the right type of paint if you want to prevent peeling and flaking in the future. Answer: Well, you will have to deal with the salt exposure (prevent it), and after that, you can repaint following the right painting practices. Make sure to remove all peeling or flaking areas until the wall and ceiling only have firmly adhered paint on them. This causes the layers to detach from the surface. Januaris Saint Fores (author) from Intercontinental on July 25, 2018: One or more of the reasons discussed in this article! Old paint can chip, flake or peel, leaving behind cracks and small holes. Paint exterior woodwork of house using latex paint on my bathroom wall & ceiling remove chipped paint. woods natural... Growing in the next painting and also check if the paint chemicals that react with paints, hindering compatibility poster... Or cracking with paints, so it could be one of the wall in

Five new underwriters will bolster community development lending and investment work across the national platform out of Cleveland, Boston, Chicago and Seattle
CLEVELAND, November 13, 2018/3BL Media/ -KeyBank Community Development Lending & Investment (CDLI) announced today that it has hired five new underwriters to support work across its growing business. The CDLI platform brings together balance sheet, equity and permanent loan offerings to finance the preservation and development of affordable housing and other community development projects.
CLEVELAND, November 7, 2018 /3BL Media/ — KeyBank Community Development Lending & Investment (CDLI) provided Cook Inlet Housing Authority (CIHA) $6.9 million in combined construction-to-permanent loan financing for the development of Elizabeth Place Apartments, along with $5.8 million in LIHTC equity. Elizabeth Place Apartments will be a mixed-use project in downtown Anchorage, AK with commercial space and 38 units of affordable housing for those earning between 50 – 60% area median income (AMI). The project will also have 12 market rate units.
When Parkway Overlook Apartments closed in 2008, its residents were forced to relocate. Ten years later, the apartments will be redeveloped, thanks to the city, Wells Fargo, and two former residents willing to fight for the community they loved.
Rufaro Jenkins still fondly remembers celebrating her daughter’s first birthday at her home at Parkway Overlook Apartments in Washington, D.C. — along with the birthdays, proms, and graduations of the other kids who lived there. She and other residents were forced to relocate when poor living conditions and failed inspections closed the buildings in 2008. Even so, Jenkins and others have fought for the last 10 years to bring the apartment community back to life — and keep it affordable.
Find out how a nonprofit in Washington, D.C., is revitalizing local neighborhoods and saving residents from displacement, thanks to support from Wells Fargo.
In Washington, D.C., available real estate is a rare commodity, and this is especially true in areas east of the Anacostia River. Wards 7 and 8 are considered “the last real estate to develop,” said Bill Winston, chief performance officer of MANNA, Inc., a local nonprofit developer of quality, affordable housing in Washington, D.C. As a result, the area has become more desirable to for-profit developers — and a big concern for the residents living there, he said.
Publication from Wells Fargo and Governing Institute includes policy ideas from government officials
SAN FRANCISCO, October 25, 2018 /3BL Media/ — More than 40 percent of government officials say the lack of affordable homeownership is a national crisis, and 33 percent called affordability a serious challenge, according to a new survey from Wells Fargo and the Governing Institute.
CLEVELAND, October 22, 2018 /3BL Media/ - KeyBank Real Estate Capital and KeyBank Community Development Lending and Investment (CDLI) have provided a total of $39.4 million in financing for the redevelopment and preservation of Commodore Apartments in Cleveland, OH. Specifically, KeyBank provided a $16.6 million LIHTC equity investment, an $11.6 million construction loan and an $11.1 million non-recourse, FHA 221(d)(4) first mortgage loan.
Reimagining an old storage building is made possible through an Opportunity Zone investment.
The building looms large on the SouthSide of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. With its ornate red brickwork, thick walls and heavy wooden beams, it’s seen its share of history during the 125 years it has stood on the edge of the Lehigh University campus.
For more than half its life the building was an ice plant and cold storage warehouse. But, time and technology have rendered it obsolete. The university used it for many years as a dry storage and maintenance facility. But, the time finally came to find a new use for the old building.
CLEVELAND, October 12, 2018 /3BL Media/ - KeyBank Community Development Lending & Investment (CDLI) has provided $6 million in construction financing to Woda Cooper Communities for the acquisition and substantial rehabilitation of the Stuyvesant Motor building in Cleveland, OH. Upon completion, the historic five-story building will be renamed Prospect Yard and contain 42 units serving individuals and families earning at or below 60% area median income (AMI).

Dr Bryn Jones sits at a small desk in room C18 at the University of Nottingham's astronomy department.
Surrounded by papers, two calculators and a small box of tapes, the Welshman is helping unlock the secrets of the Universe.
Dr Jones is an expert on galaxies - unimaginably massive collections of stars which lie millions of light-years away.
His latest discovery, made in collaboration with a team of researchers across the world, is a new type of galaxy dubbed an "ultra-compact dwarf".
Smaller than typical galaxies, they appear to have been violently stripped of outlying stars by gravitational forces, leaving them with just tens of millions of stars.
By comparison, our own galaxy, the Milky Way, is believed to contain 100,000 million stars and span some 100,000 light-years.
The discovery of ultra-compact dwarfs, published recently in the prestigious science journal Nature, involved the use of telescopes in Hawaii, Australia, Chile and Hubble Space Telescope.
Dr Jones explores the Universe from his desk in Nottingham
Since completing his PhD more than a decade ago, it could be said Dr Jones's focus has been expanding like the Universe itself.
As he worked at various universities in Cambridge, Cardiff, Bristol and Nottingham, he has researched a range of astronomical features.
His early work involved the chemical composition of stars within the Milky Way, but in recent years his focus has turned to galaxies.
In particular he has specialised in dwarf galaxies, which led to the recent discovery of ultra-compact dwarfs.
Galaxies follow the same laws of physics like anything here on Earth
Dr Jones's passion for this niche area is apparent, and he believes it will play a vital role in understanding the mysteries of the Universe.
"There are more dwarf galaxies than any other kind of galaxy, so it is obvious they are an important part of galaxy formation.
"As we better understand these dwarf galaxies, it will lead to better understanding of how all galaxies are formed, and ultimately how our solar system and Earth formed."
On the downside, distant dwarf galaxies do not look as "pretty" as the spectacular spiral galaxies many people are familiar with.
Dr Jones says: "It's true we don't get to have the nice pretty pictures that you get with bigger galaxies, but that is not important."
And it obviously did not matter to those in charge of the Hubble Space Telescope, which orbits the Earth.
They allocated precious time to the study despite being overwhelmed with requests for use of the space telescope by a ratio of 7:1.
The ultra-compact dwarf galaxies were found in an area known as the Fornax Cluster
It was Hubble's crystal clear view from above the Earth's atmosphere which unlocked the mysteries of ultra-compact dwarf galaxies.
So how does an astronomer discuss such a specialty with his family and friends?
Dr Jones says with a smile: "I tend not to talk about it too much... I don't want to sound obsessed.
"But these (galaxies) really are amazing things.
"They are just colossal and beyond what a human may comprehend, yet we can understand them and study them because they follow the same laws of physics like anything here on Earth."

2,600 m2 of polyurethane ESD control flooring for production areas of a new facility – required by a leading partner of the biopharmaceutical industry critical to the COVID-19 vaccine rollout – to relocate manufacturing operations and scale up production in order to meet current demands.
Sartorius is an international pharmaceutical and laboratory equipment supplier, headquartered in Germany. The company engineers and manufactures biopharmaceutical solutions and equipment to support the commercial scale manufacture of injectable treatments and medicines. This includes equipment used to help control and purify key manufacturing steps for cancer, blood plasma treatments and vaccines.
Relocating from a previous site in Portsmouth, Vebro Polymers and Concrete Flooring Solutions teamed up to assist Sartorius in its move to a larger industrial premises located in Havant, Hampshire. Having recently reported significant double-digit growth rates in sales revenue and earnings, Sartorius plans to commence manufacturing at the Havant site next month, creating close to 100 new jobs in the local community.
The crew at Concrete Flooring Solutions installed over 2,600 m2 of Vebro Polymers’ polyurethane ESD control flooring systems, vebrostatic PU ESD SL (Conductive), in production and processing areas at Sartorius’ new site in Stanbridge Road.
vebrostatic PU ESD SL (Conductive) is a 2.5 mm pigmented, solvent-free, self-smoothing polyurethane flooring system designed to safely ground electrostatic discharge.
vebrostatic PU ESD SL (Conductive) is recommended for use in industries where such ESD events can become commonplace – including medical device manufacturers, pharmaceutical processors and other brands operating cleanroom and critical environments.
The material meets all of the requirements set out in EN 1081, EN 61340-5-1, AgBB low emissions and has a fire resistance rating of Bfl-s1.
Based on polyurethane resin chemistry, the system is more abrasion and wear resistant than epoxy counterparts, making it more applicable for organisations engaging with RPA or robotic process automation where a surface may be subject to repetitive mechanical motion that can wear the surface more easily.
With over 30 years of experience, Concrete Flooring Solutions Ltd have been involved with some of the largest clients and contractors within the construction industry – annually installing in excess of 180,000 m2 of concrete flooring, composite metal decking and related protective resin-based coatings.
The company offers expert knowledge in the design, preparation, laying and finishing of high tolerance concrete floor slabs.
Installed over a period of three weeks, the team at CFS carried out all preparation and coating work across the 2,600 m2 area.

When breeding quail and incubating their eggs it is important to keep a record of the percentage of total eggs hatched because this will help in evaluating incubation and hatch efficiency. I have recently hatched some quail chicks and wanted to share the hatch rate with you. You can calculate hatch rate in the following way;
% hatch rate = number of eggs hatched out/number of eggs set in the incubator.
This October I placed 31 eggs in the incubator and 20 hatched out. So 20 divided by 31 equals 0.6451612 times by 100 equals 64.5% hatch rate.

As the end of winter approaches, work will begin on the final stages of construction along a section of Worthsville Road.
Soon, new traffic signals will be installed at Worthsville Road and U.S. 31, and two left turn lanes onto southbound U.S. 31 will also be added. By this summer, two lanes of traffic on Worthsville Road will be open in each direction at U.S. 31, city engineer Mark Richards said.
A top layer of asphalt, landscaping and trails on the north and south sides of the road also still need to be added, Richards said.
And the next phase of work won’t be too far behind. After construction on the section of Worthsville Road between U.S. 31 and Interstate 65 interchange is complete, the city will start preparing for the next segment.
In October 2018, the city will hire a contractor for the project to widen Worthsville Road west of U.S. 31. Construction on that phase, which includes a roundabout at Averitt and Worthsville roads, won’t begin until the spring of 2019, Richards said.
And east of the I-65 interchange, widening the road between Collins Road and County Road 325E is also planned for the future.

Hurricane Gonzalo to Disrupt UK Transportation
(MENAFN - QNA) Rain and high winds are causing travel disruption, as the remnants of Hurricane Gonzalo reaches the UK.
Gusts of up to 70mph have been recorded in north Wales, and a Met Office wind warning is in place for much of the UK.
Heathrow said about 10% of Tuesday's flights would be cancelled, though early reports suggest disruption there is not as serious as predicted.
Forecasters said gales would move east across the UK, with heavy rain in some areas and snow on some Scottish hills, BBC said
According to the (BBC), the wind could be strong enough to do "slight structural damage" to properties, as well as uprooting small trees and causing branches to fall.
The strongest winds on Tuesday morning would be in western Scotland, the north and east of Northern Ireland, north-west England and north Wales, the BBC reported.

The Rent Taxation Concept for Solid Minerals Extraction and Recovery, p. 9-24
The article considers the conceptual approaches to the taxation of natural resource use. The purpose of the article is to identify the governmental tax risks in the implementation of various scenarios of mining rent withdrawal and to substantiate the methodology of resource taxation in extraction and processing of solid minerals, based on the principle of tax justice. The authors reveal the factors of tax risks for the state in exercising its sovereign right to the mining rent. The article formulates the requirements to the tax system, the observance of which will allow to consider the factors of the state tax risks. Advantages and disadvantages of certain fiscal payments for extraction of mineral raw materials are determined. It is shown that the resource tax should be based on the present value, calculated as the net present value of the investor for the entire lifetime of the project. The authors propose a mining rent taxation mechanism, which would increase budget revenues while maintaining the incentives for mining companies to invest in exploration. The main forks in the design of such a rent income tax are shown.
Keywords: mining rent, mineral extraction tax, additional income tax, multicomponent complex ore, solid minerals

Fiscal Role of Special Duties on Imported Goods, p. 25-40
The article considers the measures of customs regulation of foreign trade activities used in the world practice. Due to the liberalization of world trade, most countries reduce the use of customs tariff regulation measures, compensating them with the introduction of special duties on imported goods. The purpose of the study is to analyze the international practice of applying those special duties. Analysis of the application of special duties to and against the EAEU countries was carried out, and the implementation of the fiscal function of special duties was examined in particular. The hypothesis of the study is the assumption that special duties play an insignificant fiscal role in the state budget revenues. Analysis of the practice of applying special duties was conducted on the basis of data from the World Trade Organization and the Treasury bodies of the Russian Federation. In the course of the study, the economic and logical methods of comparison, detailing, as well as the balance method were actively used. It was found that anti-dumping duties, which account for 2/3 of all special duties, are most often used to regulate the import of foreign goods. Russia applies 25 protective measures to goods imported from other countries, and 93 protective measures are applied to Russian goods. Special duties are currently insignificant in revenues of the federal budget of Russia; in 2021 their ratio with the receipt of import customs duties amounted to 1.5%. At the same time, there is a steady growth in the receipt of special duties: over the past 10 years, it has increased 13-fold. To increase the fiscal role of special duties, it is advisable to change the order of their distribution among the EAEU countries, so that the entire amount of special duties on imported goods is credited to the budget of the country that initiated their introduction.
Keywords: non-tariff regulation of foreign trade, special duties, budget revenues, anti-dumping measures, countervailing measures, import customs duties

Assessing the Complementarity of Preferential Tax Regimes in the Sakhalin Region, p. 41-58
State regulation of the anthropogenic impact on nature, including the policy of limiting greenhouse gas emissions, makes it necessary to support those enterprises that are willing to invest in climate projects. The relevance of incentives in this field is confirmed by the task set by the Arctic Council chaired by Russia at the Research and Training Conference on Climate Change and Permafrost Thawing 2023, namely to find reasonable, practical solutions for adapting the global economy

It is certified under ASI Performance Standard, which evaluates the sustainability of smelter initiatives, and ASI Chain of Custody, which is a management standard for traceability of responsible production, processing, and distribution processes.
In addition, the Portland Aluminum Smelter in Australia, in which Marubeni has a 22.5% stake, is working to improve the sustainability of its power usage by increasing the percentage of its electricity generated from renewable energy sources and has also received certification under ASI Performance Standard.
Through the operation of participating smelters and the stable supply of aluminum, we will contribute to the aluminum industry, which is indispensable for the creation of a decarbonized society, through the promotion of electrification, weight reduction, and other initiatives, for which demand is expected to grow in the future.
Roy Hill Iron Ore Project in Australia
The Roy Hill Iron Ore Project, in which Marubeni holds a 15% stake, is highly cost competitive as it owns its own mines, railroads and ports as integrated infrastructure. It has an annual production capacity of over 60 million tons, one of the largest single iron ore mines in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. In addition to further improving the stability and efficiency of operations through remote management and automation of mining trucks, Roy Hill is also actively working to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by switching to renewable energy sources. The majority of the high-quality iron ore produced at Roy Hill is sold under long-term contracts with steel companies in Japan and other Asian countries, which will continue to contribute to the Asian steelmakers through the stable supply of high quality iron ore.
Australian Coking Coal Business
Marubeni invests in coking coal mines in Australia. The Jellinbah East coal mine and the Lake Vermont coal mine have high cost competitiveness, and shape the core of our coal business. As the largest stakeholder of both mines, we will continue to improve the cost competitiveness of our coal project and realize sustainable profit.

Located in a new urban development area of Nan Shan District in Shenzhen City, the Alibaba Tower has a strategic location in this part of the city. As planned in the new masterplan proposal, the Alibaba tower will be part of a new financial street district where other high-rise towers will be built.
The concept of the Alibaba tower comes from the given context and its adjustments to the urban planning constraints. Following the urban regulations given with the setbacks, the FAR, the height limits… the main challenge of the scheme was to propose something different than the four little towers enclosed in defined perimeter and break out from this monotonous and scattered urban layout. Therefore the first move from our proposal is to form and link the four given volumes to create one and unique urban block than will bring unity and an appropriate scale to the Alibaba tower.Then comes its orientation or more precisely its contextual adaptations.
In conclusion of the USB, Alibaba Shenzhen Tower proposal, the scheme does not only propose an urban integrated solution, but it rather creates a diverse and fruitful environment to work in. It creates not only a better place to work but also an intelligent way of approaching architectural within a new urban fabric of the city in relation to the sea… thus the urban block re-visited and re-interpreted with its specific scenery.

Honolulu is the capital city of the US State of Hawaii. This city is famed for its friendly locals, sandy beaches and fresh seafood. The best time to visit this stunning city is between September and November. There are numerous interesting things to do in this culture rich, urban hub. To discover some of the fabulous things one can do in this charming city, read on.
Here Are 10 Interesting Things To Do In Honolulu:
1. Examine The Exhibits At Bishop Museum:
Bishop Museum, or the Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum, is the largest museum in Hawaii. Bishop Museum which qualifies as a must visit destination in Honolulu, is dedicated to preserving the rich natural hitory and culture of this island. The museum was established in 1889. This museum is situated in the historic Kalihi district. Bishop museum has been involved in biological and ethnological research of the Pacific islands and Hawaii for well over 100 years. The 24 million cultural, historic and natural artifacts which are stored at Bishop Museum, has transformed this place into one of the leading repositories of knowledge, encompassing the entire Pacific basin. A visit to this museum affords visitors the unique opportunity, to explore a mind boggling array of topics through the beautifully preserved exhibits.
2. Tour The Awe Inspiring Lolani Palace:
Lolani Palace was the official residence of the last rulers of the Kingdom of Hawaii i.e. King Kalakaua, and his sister and successor Queen Liliuokalani. The architecture of this opulent palace has been heavily inspired by European architectural styles. Over the decades, Lolani Palace has served as the executive building to the new republic, a makeshift prison which held the last monarch, the capital to a land in transition, the Governor’s official residence and now finally as a much revered National Historic Landmark. Today, this sympathetically restored royal residence, acts as a museum which gives visitors an insight into royal life through its numerous exhibits. The extensive and beautifully landscaped palace ground also holds much allure to visitors.
3. Hike Diamond Head Trail:
Diamond Head is one of the most recognized natural icons of Hawaii. Diamond Head is a massive volcanic tuff cone. The extensive ridge line of this volcano resembles the dorsal fin of a tuna hence it is called Le’ahi by the locals (‘lae’ means promontory and ‘ahi’ stands for tuna). Diamond Head State Monument covers nearly 475 acres of land. The winding trail to the top of the crater was constructed in 1908. Over the last century, millions of hardy souls have hiked up this beautiful trail to reach the zenith of the crater. At the summit tourists can enjoy breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside and the azure blue waters of the ocean.
4. Visit Honolulu Zoo:
This 42 acre zoo is located in Queen Kapi’olani Park between Diamond Head and Waikiki. In 1947 a portion of the Kapi’olani Park was designated the Honolulu Zoo. The origins of the modern zoo as we see its today, was established in 1984. This zoo shares its space with a fantastic Tropical Zoological Garden. Some of the top exhibits at this zoo include black rhinoceros, klipspringer, Fennec fox, Indian elephant, white handed gibbon, silver eared Mesia, Renauld’s Ground Cuckoo, American flamingo, Nile monitor, smoky jungle frog and mangrove monitor lizard. The zoo gardens showcase numerous plant species which are either native to this island or hold specific importance to Polynesian cultures.
5. Tour The USS Arizona Memorial:
In the surprise attacks launched by the Japanese Naval Forces on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, nearly 1,177 American crewmen lost their lives. This monument was borne out of a desire to commemorate the lives of these heroic souls who laid down their lives in this brutal attack. The USS Arizona Memorial is built atop the remains of the sunken American naval ship the USS Arizona. The trip to this memorial begins with 23 minute documentary film. Visitors then board a US Navy operated boat, which takes them to the memorial. The USS Arizona Memorial attracts nearly 1.8 million visitors every single year.
6. Honolulu Museum Of Art:
Honolulu Museum of Art was founded in 1922 by Anna Rice Cook. This museum which is one of the largest art museums in Hawaii, boasts of a permanent collection of nearly 50,000 artifacts. The beautiful objet d’art which is exhibited at Honolulu Museum of Art, represent all the major cultures of Hawaii and spans a period of 5,000 years. The museum exhibits prominent from the Asian, American and European continents. You can also visit Honolulu Museum of Art Café, the museum shop, Honolulu Museum of Art School and Allerton Art Research Library all of which are attached to this premier

To make a long story (not even that) short, this t-shirt is an excellent example of what happens when I:
- Decide to use a 65cm long, 1.5m wide piece of fabric to make a ¾ or long sleeved t-shirt. People, this doesn’t fit unless you are a child or possibly when you wore a size XS pre vanity sizing. Why I didn’t simply make a short sleeved t-shirt with this fabric? I’m not sure.
- Leave the left-over fabric of my previous t-shirt in the vicinity of my cutting mat after completing said t-shirt.
- Decide to make ¾ length sleeves because that length could be cut out of the striped fabric.
- Don’t want a sleeve that is just stripes because that might look weird.
- Think it would be cool to have a strip of stripes down the length of one of the sleeves, preferably the left (guess where it ended up…)
- Piece a strip of striped fabric in between 2 pieces of purple fabric to create a new piece of fabric to cut out the second sleeve.
- Realise I must have made a calculation mistake because the new piece of fabric that I created is too narrow after a certain point to cut out the sleeve (the purple fabric was slightly weirdly shaped at the sides due to other pattern pieces having been cut around it).
- Decide to make short sleeves instead.
- After cutting the sleeve realise I still have some purple fabric left that is wide enough to be added at the bottom of the sleeve!
- Realise it is too short to convert the short sleeve to a ¾ length sleeve.
- Wish I hadn’t already cut the short sleeve.
- Attach the piece of purple fabric anyway.
- Attach more stripes at the bottom of the sleeve to make it ¾ length.
- Start construction of the t-shirt.
- Use the striped fabric for the neckband so the stripes on the sleeve won’t feel lonely.
- Put it on and feel relieved it’s wearable.
What do you think? Is improvisational piecing going to be the next big thing or should I instead make sure to buy enough fabric for future projects?

The government will today open a competitive tender process to auction six out of nine prepared oil blocks in the Tano Basin, offshore Cape Three Points in the Western Region.
The move, which the industry has welcomed as timely, also fulfils the country’s plan to increase the production of oil and gas to generate more revenue for development, while ensuring greater transparency and value for money in oil resource utilisation.
Out of the nine blocks, six will be allocated between 2018 and 2019, while the remaining three will form the basis for a second round bidding where nationals are expected to feature prominently.
Low risk basin
The President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, is expected to open the blocks up for competitive tendering at a short ceremony in Accra.
The Daily Graphic has gathered from highly placed sources in the upstream oil and gas sector that the first six blocks have already seen high expression of interest ahead of the announcement.
The high interest is attributed to the low risk level of the basin and existing infrastructure such as three independent oil production platforms, pipelines, subsea structures for tie-in of marginal fields and unification of nearby discoveries in the Western Basin.
The perfect conditions for achieving a shorter time frame from discovery to oil production the area presents also adds to its low risk level.
It is the first time the country’s oil blocks will be offered to investors in a competitive tendering process since the repealed PNDCL 84, 1984, which used to regulate oil and gas exploration and production activities in the country, was said to be less transparent and ineffective.
Under the current Petroleum Exploration and Production Act 2016 (Act 919), exploration and production rights will now be awarded through an open, transparent and competitive tendering process, also known under the law as the licensing round.
The sector ministry and the Petroleum Commission, the regulator, believe the process proffered will ensure utmost transparency demanded by both investors and the citizenry.
With the high prospects in oil and gas industry, the new approach is expected to ensure that the country’s oil industry attracts top-notch international oil companies (IOCs) to ensure that the resource is exploited in an efficient, safe, cost effective, sustainable and mutually beneficial manner
The country’s quest to ensure that indigenous companies played active roles in the upstream sector has found space in Act 919 and its governing regulations. The primary provision is for investors to partner with indigenous Ghanaian companies to hold at least five per cent in the business.
Consequently, companies that come through the competitive tendering process are supposed to find indigenous Ghanaian companies to hold at least five per cent equity participation for their petroleum agreement to come into effect.
The Ministry of Energy and the Petroleum Commission have already launched a rigorous campaign to attract investors to the industry but have also been engaging Ghanaian businesses and high net-worth individuals to show interest in participating in upstream oil and gas activities.
Checks by the Daily Graphic has also revealed that several international oil companies have their representatives in the country for the launch.

‘Loving’ mum died in car crash as seatbelt ripped off
A “beautiful and loving” mum from died after she lost control of her car and crashed into a tree, an inquest has heard. Eye-witness Joe Price was driving behind Sarah Lumb in North Moor Lane in Halsall on the morning of October 17, 2022 when she suddenly veered off the road and crashed into a tree and despite the efforts of passers-by, the 42-year-old, from Southport, was pronounced dead at the scene. An inquest held yesterday (Friday February 9) at Preston Coroner’s Court heard how Sarah knew the route well, and had been driving along North Moor Lane “for more than 10 years”.
Mr Price described how Sarah had overtaken him, while driving within the national speed limit, on a straight section of the road. He said that when she entered a right-hand bend Sarah appeared to “over-correct” which led to her car swerving and crashing into a tree. He said: “I saw the silver car as I came round the bend.
I saw the car kind of turn back the other way and then turn back like an over-correction. It instantly stopped when it hit the tree.” The inquest heard that weather conditions on the day of the crash were fine and, at the time, officers from Lancashire Police’s collision investigation unit could find no explanation as to why Sarah had suddenly lost control.
Sarah’s daughter Jess said that “it seems like a lot of ‘don’t knows’… she drove that road for over 10 years. It doesn’t seem logical.” Sarah’s seatbelt, which she was wearing at the time of the crash, had been ripped from its mounting to the car’s chassis.
The air bags had also not been deployed. Assistant Coroner Richard Taylor explained that as a result of concerns raised by Sarah’s family regarding the safety of her car, he obtained evidence from Ford engineers, based in Germany, as well as a forensic pathologist and the Department for Transport. PC Matt Burn, a traffic police officer of more than 10 years, said that Sarah’s seatbelt had been ripped from its mounting due to the roof of her car being struck by a “huge tree branch”.
PC Burn also described how air bags are only designed to deploy in very specific circumstances when within 30 degrees of being a direct head-on collision. “It wouldn’t deploy because it wouldn’t have served any purpose,” PC Burn said. “Cars are only able to withstand a certain amount of force; that’s why rally cars are fitted with extra roll bars. “You could make a car out of solid metal and it would stay completely intact but the force that should have been taken by the bodywork then goes into the driver’s body.”
Dr Nigel Cooper, a lecturer in forensic pathology, said that Sarah suffered a cranio-cervical injury caused by her body being restrained by the seatbelt while her head continued moving forwards. This resulted in an “unsurviveable” trauma which would have happened even if the seatbelt had remained intact. Dr Cooper said in a statement: “Such injuries are more severe in those wearing a seatbelt than those not wearing one.”

The inquest heard extracts of a statement by Jim Hand from the Department for Transport who described how the government is working alongside the United Nation’s Economic Commission for Europe which constantly reviews frequently occurring scenarios in collisions.
The circumstances surrounding Sarah’s death are being considered by the commission. Returning a conclusion of a road traffic collision, the coroner said: “Somehow she lost control of the vehicle and I am sorry but we will never be able to answer how that occurred.” After Sarah’s death her daughter Jess said: “She was an amazing, compassionate and loving mother, who will be dearly missed.
Sarah played many roles as well as being a mother. “She was a person who put everything and everyone before herself. She was the glue that held everyone together, and for that I am thankful to call her my mother.”

Determinant of a matrix
The determinant of a dimension matrix mxn is the result of subtracting the multiplication of the elements of the main diagonal with the multiplication of the elements of the secondary diagonal.
In other words, the determinant of a 2 × 2 matrix is obtained by drawing an X over its elements. First we draw the diagonal that begins at the top on the left side of the X (main diagonal). Then we draw the diagonal that starts at the top on the right side of the X (secondary diagonal).
To calculate the determinant of a matrix, we need its dimension to have the same number of rows (m) and columns (n). Therefore, m = n. The dimension of an array is represented as the multiplication of the row dimension with the column dimension.
There are other more complex ways to calculate the determinant of a matrix with a dimension greater than 2 × 2. These forms are known as Laplace's rule and Sarrus's rule.
The determinant can be indicated in two ways:
- Det (Z)
- | Zmxn |
We call (m) for the dimension of the rows and (n) for the dimension of the columns. So a matrix mxn will have mrows and ncolumns:
- irepresents each of the rows of a matrix Zmxn.
- jrepresents each of the columns of a matrix Zmxn.

Properties of determinants
- | Zmxn | is equal to the determinant of a Zmxn transposed matrix:
- The inverse determinant of an inverse Zmxn matrix is equal to the determinant of an inverse Zmxn matrix:
- The determinant of a singular matrix Smxn (not invertible) is 0.
Smxn = 0
- | Zmxn |, where m = n, multiplied by a constant h any is:
- The determinant of the product of two matrices Zmxny Xmxn, where m = n, is equal to the product of determinants of Zmxny Xmxn
2 × 2 dimension matrix
A dimension array 2×2 its determinant is the subtraction of the product of the elements of the main diagonal with the product of the elements of the secondary diagonal.
We define Z2 × 2 as:
The calculation of its determinant would be:
Determiner calculation example
The determinant of the X2 × 2 matrix is 14.
