There’s an interesting sense of quiet that’s descending upon my life. Nothing much has changed. The fray at work continues—though it’s like someone has turned down the volume low enough to no longer jangle the nerves. LA traffic is bad—though I just drive now like a passenger in a taxi, more witness to the madness than participant. I’m certain it’s my age. It’s time for peace. That doesn’t mean the world is more peaceful now, just that my vision and the lens through which I see has changed, softened; the aperture growing smaller, and becoming more discerning of what stimuli gets in, and more importantly, what stimuli are accepted, processed, and received. I think I’ve reached the age of discretion. And what a beautiful age it seems to be.

Water Resources and Environmental Management is a research-oriented international Master of Science programme delivered in English. Students acquire interdisciplinary specialist knowledge and key transferable skills in sustainable water resources management. By the time they have completed the programme, graduates are capable of taking on positions of responsibility, e.g. in research, for water authorities or senior environmental administrative bodies. Sustainable development in all areas of water resources management and sanitary engineering is extremely important for present and future generations. After all, the quality and availability of water are increasingly under threat from societal and environmental change. Problems such as water scarcity, flooding and environmental pollution are increasing throughout the world, resulting in a great demand for experts.
Engineers in the field of water resources and environmental management are qualified to seek responses to these global problems. Since the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Geodetic Science has a strong background in water-related sciences, it offers the ideal frame for this Master’s degree programme. Professors at the faculty have excellent international ties and undertake a range of other measures to enable the faculty to cooperate closely with partners abroad. In this English-language Master’s programme, students are integrated in research teams, many of which are involved in international research projects. | [

Apogenix‘s lead candidate APG101, which has shown great results in a phase II study to treat Glioblastoma, has a new target in line. But this time, it’s not against cancer…
Apogenix is a Germany-based company developing innovative immuno-oncology therapeutics for cancer and other malignant diseases. It was founded in 2005 and has raised over €90M until now.
Its lead candidate APG101 is a fusion protein that consists of the Fc domain of an IgG antibody and the extracellular domain of the CD95 receptor, which is present in many tumor cells. Once the CD95 ligand is blocked, it induces the death of the malignant cell. This first success had guaranteed €3M from the CancerMark project, which was initiated earlier this year.
But as in many other cases, this ligand is involved in more than one biological process. For instance, blocking the CD95 ligand results in an increased production of erythrocytes (red blood cells), which can be useful in some cases of Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS). | [

The President of the Republic of Poland (Polish: Prezydent Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej, shorter form: Prezydent RP) is the head of state of Poland. Their rights and obligations are determined in the Constitution of Poland. The president heads the executive branch. In addition the president has a right to dissolve the parliament in certain cases and represents Poland in the international arena.
|President of the|
Republic of Poland
Prezydent Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej
since 6 August 2015
|Member of||European Council|
|Term length||Five years|
|Constituting instrument||Constitution of Poland|
|Formation||11 December 1922|
|First holder||Gabriel Narutowicz|
The first president of Poland, Gabriel Narutowicz, was sworn in as president of the Second Republic on 11 December 1922. He was elected by the National Assembly (the Sejm and the Senate) under the terms of the 1921 Constitution of Poland. Previously Józef Piłsudski had been "Chief of State" (Naczelnik Państwa) under the provisional 1919 Constitution. In 1926, Piłsudski, who was fed up with regional bickering, staged a coup deposed the president and had the National Assembly elect a new one, Ignacy Mościcki, under the thumb of Sanacja. Just before Piłsudski died, parliament passed the 1935 April Constitution of Poland which incorporated Piłsudski's ideals, but was not in accord with the amendment procedures of the 1921 Constitution. Mościcki continued as president until he resigned following the German invasion of Poland in 1939. Mościcki and his government went into exile first into Romania, where Mościcki was interned, then to Angers in France where Władysław Raczkiewicz, at the time the Speaker of the Senate, assumed the presidency following Mościcki's resignation on 29 September 1939, and then on to London. The transfer from Mościcki to Raczkiewicz was in accordance with Article 24 of the 1935 April Constitution.
Following the invasion of Poland by the Red Army in 1944, Bolesław Bierut assumed the reins of government, and in July 1945 was internationally recognized as the head of state, but it was not until 1947 when the Sejm passed an interim constitution based in part on the March 1921 constitution, that Bierut was elected president by the Sejm, the Senate having been abolished the previous year by the Polish people's referendum, 1946. He served until the 1952 Constitution eliminated the office of the president.
Following the 1989 amendments to the constitution which restored the presidency, Wojciech Jaruzelski, the existing head of state, took office. In Poland's first direct presidential election, Lech Wałęsa won and was sworn in on 22 December 1990. The office of the president was continued in the Constitution of 1997, which now provides the requirements for, the duties of and the authority of the office.
The President of Poland is elected directly by the people to serve for five years and can be reelected only once. Pursuant to the provisions of the Constitution, the President is elected by an absolute majority. If no candidate succeeds in passing this threshold, a second round of voting is held with the participation of the two candidates with the largest and second largest number of votes respectively.
In order to be registered as a candidate in the presidential election, one must be a Polish citizen, be at least 35 years old on the day of the first round of the election and collect at least 100,000 signatures of registered voters.
The President has a free choice in selecting the Prime Minister, yet in practice he usually gives the task of forming a new government to a politician supported by the political party with the majority of seats in the Sejm (usually, though not always, it is the leader of that political party).
The President has the right to initiate the legislative process. He also has the opportunity to directly influence it by using his veto to stop a bill; however, his veto can be overruled by a three-fifths majority vote in the presence of at least half of the statutory number of members of the Sejm (230). Before signing a bill into law, the President can also ask the Constitutional Tribunal to verify its compliance with the Constitution, which in practice bears a decisive influence on the legislative process.
In his role as supreme representative of the Polish state, the President has power to ratify and revoke international agreements, nominates and recalls ambassadors, and formally accepts the accreditations of representatives of other states. The President also makes decisions on award of highest academic titles, as well as state distinctions and orders. In addition, he has the right of clemency, viz. he can dismiss final court verdicts (in practice, the President consults such decisions with the Minister of | [

There is a strong demand for workers
Last Thursday the "First Employment Fair of the Tourism Sector Puerto Vallarta 2022" took place at the Malecon, where 30 companies of the sector offered more than 1,600 vacancies, a program promoted by the National Employment Service (SNE) mainly in the beach tourist destinations, which face a serious labor shortage problem.
Ludwig Estrada Virgen, Municipal Director of Tourism and Economic Development, mentioned that tourism is one of the fundamental pillars of our economy and the livelihood of Vallarta's families depends directly and indirectly on it.
He thanked the National Employment Service of Jalisco for promoting these spaces where private initiative and society benefit from the results, with participating companies and the SNE's labor exchange carrying out their processes and providing information of potential interest to job seekers.
LACK OF EMPLOYEES CONTINUES
Martha Ibarra Amarillas, deputy director of Business Development, emphasized that there is still a lack of labor in the region, hence the joint effort of different agencies to make people, especially young people, aware of the importance of giving certainty to their future by creating an asset through a source of employment.
José Luis Jaramillo Reyes, general director of the National Employment Service in Jalisco, emphasized that the three levels of government contribute to the job fair for the benefit of the citizens and the 30 companies -most of them hotels- that offered 1,605 vacancies, with salaries ranging from 7,000 to 20,000 pesos per month.
He thanked the municipal government for its support and emphasized that "Puerto Vallarta is a clear example of good work and of looking out for its citizens".
He emphasized that labor is a problem that exists in the country and particularly in the state of Jalisco, with more than 40 thousand vacancies, which represents a third of the national level according to the Employment Portal, and on the other hand, informality amounts to about 48 percent. | [

Hair accessories are decorative or utilitarian items that are braided, twisted, fitted, or else connected to the hair. Over history, different styles of decoration and the elements used to make them have reflected spiritual connotations, social status, age demographic, and style awareness.
Hair bands, ribbons and knots, hair clips, hair combs, headbands, pearls, string, hair spines and twigs, and other unattached random things thought to have artistic or cultural and social value are all forms of hair accessories. Hair bands are cylindrical shaped hair ornaments that are coiled all about the hair and are intended to keep tendrils of hair out from the face or similarly contain them.
Hair accessories have now been worn by men and women of all eras. At the conclusion of the middle ages, some hair accessories were discovered in Great Britain, Belgium, and France. However, the general trend in the twentieth and twenty-first century appears to be a dearth of hair decoration. Most present designs appear to concentrate on cuts and hair color. | [

The transmittance rate of this product is over 80% and that of ordinary PC opalescent board is only 20%. Through the diffusion of diffusion plate, the whole surface of the board forms a uniform luminous surface without forming a dark area, and no residual image will be formed on the screen, which makes the picture more realistic and achieves a transparent visual effect.
When light is projected from one medium to a smooth interface of another medium, one part of the light is reflected by the interface and the other part of the light is refracted through the interface in another medium. The law of reflection is that the incident angle of light equals the reflection angle, and the reflected light and the incident light are on both sides of the normal line in the same plane. The refracted light conforms to the law of refraction: the refracted light lies in the plane between the incident light and the normal line, the refracted light and the incident light are on both sides of the normal line, and the sinusoidal ratio of the incident angle and the refracted angle is a constant. Refraction law and reflection law are the basis of geometrical optics. They not only lay the foundation for theoretical research, but also for the development of optical technology, especially for diffusion plate and the design of optical products.
PC diffuser is a new type of optical material which is processed by special technology on the basis of ordinary PC monolayer. The effect of PC diffuser is closely related to the content and composition of diffused particles. The less the content of diffused particles, the higher the transmittance and the lower the atomicity. The diffuser is generally white, translucent and the content of diffused particles. The more the diffuser, the lower the transmittance and the higher the mist. The diffuser is usually opaque and opaque. It can be seen that the transmittance and mist of the diffuser are inversely proportional, that is, they can not be both.
Appearance: opalescent board translucent, less crystal point, high transparency, high smoothness, good smoothness. Super impact resistance: 250 times the strength of ordinary glass plate, 150 times more than tempered glass, 30 times higher than acrylic plate. So it doesn't break up in all kinds of accidents. Better protection of your property and life safety. Construction performance: PC density is 1.2, weight is only 1/2 of glass, so the quality is lighter, easy to construct, reduce costs. Ultraviolet prevention: This product is made of 100% imported new anti-UV material. It can not only prevent the damage of ultraviolet to indoor products, but also effectively prolong the service life of PC plates. The flame retardant grade is UL-94: V-0~V-2. The fire retardant performance is excellent, and the combustion will not produce toxic gases. Weather resistance: The product can adapt to the harsh weather conditions ranging from - 40 ~120 ~C, and can still maintain its performance. And combustion will not occur.
Scope of use
Usage: LED and fluorescent lamp, panel lamp, advertising light box for light source, billboard, outdoor billboard, stage special effect, LED electronic display screen, natural lighting ceiling lamp. | [

An 8 x 4 enclosure for a Tegu? I had NO idea they grew that big. :shock:
What does he eat? Furry things?? Your leos are cutie patooties!
Great pictures! Your geckos are adorable!
Good luck with the cage building! I am sure they will enjoy their new big homes.
for a lizard that can eventually get 4-5ft in as little as a year or two he will need a big cage. When he was up he ate mice, ground turkey, salmon, tuna, eggs, superworms, and a small cichlid.
I was sitting here thinking OMG. Then i read it over again, and i was thinking, oohhhhhhhh:|:-?
thanks for sharing your pictures.:-D
your leos are indeed cute and they look like mine lol, the Tegu is awsome.
i really like the leo set up you've made,do they dig much?
They do occasioanlly dig up the substrate but not nearly as much as the tegu. The tegu has about 4in of substrate and he would dig these huge pits.

He got hammered down the back straight so it was a good effortDriver Rohan Hillier
East Devonport owner Mick Maxfield's decision to bring handy pacer Blingittothemax home from Queensland paid an immediate dividend at Mowbray on Wednesday night.
The seven-year-old put up a tough performance to win the Rating 63-70 Pace and give Maxfield and trainer Paul Ashwood an early double.
It continued a good day for the owner, as his star youngster Max Delight was earlier named Australian three-year-old of the year.
Blingittothemax had his only previous start in Tasmania as a two-year-old when he won at Devonport in March 2015.
He has spent most of his racing life in Queensland where he won another six races at Albion Park.
Rohan Hillier, who drove the gelding on Wednesday night, believes he can add a few more wins to that record.
"He's a horse with gate speed who makes his own luck and, the grade that he's in now, I'm pretty sure he'll win another three or four pretty quickly," Hillier said.
Blingittothemax worked to the lead from barrier four but didn't get much peace and looked under pressure on the home turn.
"But I hadn't pulled the plugs at that stage and Skip (Ashwood) did tell me he waits for them a bit," Hillier said.
"Once he got balanced, he came up the straight pretty good.
"He had to run the gate and he got hammered down the back straight so it was a good effort."
FORCED TO WORK
Ashwood's earlier winner Miracle Marcus also put up a tough performance in the Rating 52-56 Pace after facing the breeze.
Driver Hannah Van Dongen went forward from barrier six but found herself caught three and four wide for some distance.
"I was forced to do a lot more work than I thought I would have to," Van Dongen said.
"But he went massive. Despite all the work, he still travelled strongly to the line and got the job done."
It was the eighth win for Miracle Marcus and the fifth time he's been successful in the 1609m-1680m distance range.
AWAY AND HOME
Blingittothemax's win also completed an early driving double for Rohan Hillier who scored a dominant win on former Kiwi four-year-old Awayandrideyourself in the Rating 56-62 Pace.
Hillier went forward from barrier 7 to find the death and, although he appeared to switch off late, the long odds-on favourite got home by 2.5m over the fast-finishing Believe In Forever.
"He settled well in the breeze and only had to dash up the straight," the driver said.
Awayandrideyourself won one race in New Zealand and has now won six here as well as being placed in the Tasmanian Derby and Guineas.
Despite that good record, Hillier hasn't mapped out anything too ambitious for the gelding.
"He's not the best traveller in the world so we'll stick to Mowbray for a while and just race him here once a fortnight," the trainer said.
Hillier doesn't anticipate driving the horse too often in the future.
One of his part-owners is leading claiming junior driver Conor Crook.
"Conor will drive him all the time from now on regardless of whether he can use his claim - I've got to keep him happy," the trainer said.
Well-bred five-year-old Ideal Karalta broke through for his first win for 10 months in the Rating 30-49 Pace.
The Kent Rattray-trained gelding was well backed on the strength of a 2:01 trial win at Carrick 11 days earlier and ran the same time again.
John Walters drove aggressively from the second row to find the death and said he would have been disappointed had Ideal Karalta not been equal to the task.
"I thought if he couldn't sit in the breeze and beat that field, I didn't know where he was going to win another race," Walters said.
"It's been a while since he won but he's been a bit sore here and there and Kent has had to look after him."
Mystic Journey has drawn barrier 10 for the $750,000 Makybe Diva Stakes at Flemington on Saturday.
Although it's not a particularly bad draw, it's still wide enough to prompt tab.com.au to ease her odds from $2.10 to $2.25.
Memsie Stakes winner Scales Of Justice, who has drawn next to her in barrier 9, has firmed from $5.50 to $4.80.

Strain gauge sensor is a type of sensor employed to measure or detects strain on an object. The operational sensitivity is described in terms of a characteristic called ‘gauge factor’. Measurement and test applications, defense & aerospace, healthcare, and automotive are some of the major end-use areas of strain gauge sensors worldwide. Based on type, the market has been segmented into mechanical strain gauge sensors, electrical strain gauge sensors, and piezoelectric strain gauge sensors. Based on mounting type, the market has been divided into bounded strain gauges and unbounded strain gauges. Based on construction, the market has been segregated into optical sensors, semiconductor strain gauges, photoelectric gauges, thin-film strain gauges, and diffused semiconductor strain gauges. Based on application, the market for strain gauge sensors has been classified in to vibration monitoring, residual stress, torque measurement, strain measurement, and deflection &bending measurement. Geographically, the global market for strain gauge sensors has been segmented into Asia Pacific, Europe, North America, South America, and Middle East & Africa.
Precise determination of suitable measuring points; bonding with full, half, and quarter bridges and temperature, bending; and centrifugal force compensation are some of the major factors responsible for the growing usage of strain gauge sensors all over the world. Application of strain gauge sensors for test objects with the weight level upto one ton is another major factor driving the strain gauge sensors market. Some of the major end-user industries of strain gauge sensors are chemical, metal, biotechnology, material, and food &beverages. Strain gauge sensors have a wide range of applications in different industries. The use of these sensors is determined by their characteristics including the number of gauges in a gauge pattern, resistance power of a grid, temperature sensitivity, low cost, gauge length, and gauge width. Design and installation complexities are some of the technical restraints, which may hinder the growth of the global strain gauge sensors market. On the other hand, with the rising technological advancements, use of strain gauge sensors in mining, printing, and oil &gas sectors has been increasing. This factor is likely to drive the market during the forecast period.
In 2016, North America was a leading market for strain gauge sensors in terms of revenue, followed by Asia Pacific and Europe. The U.S. dominates the market for strain gauge sensors in North America, followed by Canada and Mexico. Rising demand for low-cost and reliable gas sensors is fueling the market for strain gauge sensors inNorth America. China is a leading market for strain gauge sensors in Asia Pacific, owing to technological advancements in automotive and industrial sectors in the country.China is followed by India, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. Germany, the U.K., Italy, and France account for prominent share in the strain gauge sensors market in Europe. The U.A.E and South Africa lead the market for strain gauge sensors in Middle East & Africa. Brazil and Argentina dominate the market for strain gauge sensors in South America. Growth of manufacturing and construction sectors in the two regions is one of the major factors fueling the strain gauge sensors markets in Middle East &Africa and South America.
Innovation of new products, research activities, and strategic partnership agreements with other companies for product portfolio expansion are some of the major business strategies adopted by the companies operating in the global market for strain gauge sensors. HBM (Germany), Kyowa Electronic Instruments Co. Ltd. (Japan), Vishay Intertechnology, Inc.(the U.S), ATI Industrial Automation (The U.S.), OMEGA Engineering (the U.S.), Piezo-Metrics Inc.

(CN) – The U.S. economy grew at its weakest pace in three years in the first quarter, slowed by consumers sharply curtailing their spending, the government said Friday.
The Bureau of Economic Analysis said the nation’s gross domestic product, the measure of the total output of goods and services, grew by just 0.7 percent in the first quarter following a gain of 2.1 percent in the fourth quarter of 2016.
The 0.7 percent increase was the worst showing since GDP contracted by 1.2 percent in the first quarter of 2014.
The bureau, an agency of the U.S. Commerce Department, attributed the tepid pace of growth to a slowdown in consumer spending, which grew by 0.3 percent after a 3.5 percent gain at the end of last year.
The first quarter showing in consumer spending was the poorest growth in that category in more than seven years.
All in all, not the kind of news President Donald Trump wanted to hear on the eve of his 100th day in office or after his campaign promises to get the economy growing by 3 percent a year or better.
At the present rate, economic growth won’t likely surpass 2 percent when the numbers come in for the first half of 2017. And most economists are forecasting growth for the entire year to be around 2.2 percent.
But economists believe there were very tangible reasons for the flagging spending in the first quarter that won’t be a factor heading further into the year. These include unseasonably warm weather in most of the country, which tamped down utility bills and spending on winter clothes and the like; a drop in auto sales; and the delay in sending out refund checked by the Internal Revenue Service.
And when consumers don’t buy, stores don’t invest in restocking their shelves.
Trump may take solace too in the fact he only rolled out his proposed tax cuts — which he said would be a key driver of his growth policies during the campaign — on Wednesday.
In announcing the proposed cuts and revisions of the tax code, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said he believed growth above 3 percent would be achievable.
Inflation in the 19-country eurozone is back up at the European Central Bank’s targeted level as a strengthening economy helps drive up prices, stoking speculation that the bank could start winding down its stimulus measures sooner than thought.
In other economic news, European statistics agency Eurostat said Friday that its headline rate rose to 1.9 percent over the year to April from 1.5 percent the previous month.
The increase, more than had expected, means inflation is back at the European Central Bank’s target of just below 2 percent.
Eurozone inflation has been rising significantly this year, mainly driven by climbing oil prices.
The Eurozone’s core inflation rate, which does not include the cost of food, energy, alcohol or tobacco, rose to 1.2 percent from 0.7 percent. | [

Fitch Affirms Mongolia at 'B': Outlook StableEconomy
Ulaanbaatar, May 17, 2023 /MONTSAME/. Fitch Ratings has affirmed Mongolia's
Long-Term Foreign-Currency Issuer Default Rating (IDR) at 'B' with a Stable
Strong Growth, External Vulnerabilities: Mongolia's ratings are underpinned by favourable medium-term growth prospects and high per capita income relative to 'B' rated peers. The ratings are constrained by the country's high reliance on external funding and commodity exports to China amid high external debt and low foreign-exchange reserves. Mongolia scores well on World Bank Governance Indicators relative to 'B' peers, but has suffered from political volatility around issues of resource nationalism.
Growth Rebound: We forecast real GDP growth of 5% in 2023, similar to 2022, on stronger mining activity and steady domestic demand. Growth will likely accelerate in 2024. Coal exports are rebounding after China's removal of border pandemic controls. Export capacity will rise further once cross-border rail links become fully operational in the next one-two years. The strategic Oyu Tolgoi copper mine's underground phase started production in March 2023, although most of the volume gains will only come from 2025. Other mining and infrastructure projects could support medium-term growth.
External Finances Stabilising: The export rebound is helping rein in the current account deficit (CAD), which we expect to shrink to about USD1.7 billion-1.8 billion (about 9% of GDP) in 2023-2024, from about USD2.3 billion (over 13% of GDP) in 2022. We expect inflows of FDI to cover the CAD. Official foreign-exchange (FX) reserves recovered to USD3.7 billion in April 2023, from a trough of USD2.7 billion in August 2022, while bank deposit dollarisation stabilised at 37% of total deposits in March 2023, having risen from 24% at end-2021.
External Finances Remain Precarious: Net external debt, at 160% of GDP in 2023 will be around 6x the 'B' median, although over 30% of this is intercompany lending (FDI), and over 20% is the government's bilateral and multilateral loans on concessional terms, both of which we expect will continue to be stable sources of funding. Reserve coverage ratios, though improved, remain weaker than the 'B' median. Gross reserves are supported by about USD1.7 billion in swap liabilities to the People's Bank of China, which we expect to be rolled over, and similar amounts of FX liabilities to domestic banks.
Maturity Management: Just over USD150 million in government external debt is due in the rest of 2023, with the proceeds of a USD650 million issuance in January mostly used to repay and exchange bonds maturing in May. The Development Bank of Mongolia (DBM) has set aside reserves to repay a JPY30 billion (USD220 million) government-guaranteed bond in December. The government is authorised to guarantee DBM bonds maturing in October (about USD437 million outstanding), which we assume will be used to roll them over. Government external debt maturities in 2024 are USD680 million.
Narrow Fiscal Deficit: We forecast general government fiscal deficits at under 1% of GDP in 2023-2024, after a surplus of 1% of GDP in 2022, reflecting our expectation that higher spending will offset the boost to revenue from the mining sector and inflation. Last year's fiscal outturn marked a significant turnaround from the 3% of GDP deficit in 2021. The government originally budgeted a deficit of under 2% of GDP in 2023, but has since raised its projection for mining revenue by over 1% of GDP.
Commodity Dependence, Risks: The outlook for external finances is highly sensitive to commodity revenues, which account for 90% of total external receipts and 30% of government
Inflation Peaking; Monetary Stance Mixed: We expect headline inflation to average 12% yoy in 2023, from an average of over 15% in 2022, before moderating to 9% in 2024, slightly above the BOM's 4%-8% target. Full normalisation of trade with China and lower global commodity prices should exert a downward pull on inflation, although international sanctions on Russia are still leading to elevated import costs. The BOM raised its policy rate to 13% in December, bringing cumulative hikes in 2022 to 700bp.
Banking System Stable: Non-performing loans have remained steady at about 10% of total sector loans, although underlying asset quality issues may be masked by high nominal growth, ongoing subsidised lending programmes and a moratorium on mortgage repayments, which only ended in December 2022. The BOM completed an asset quality review of domestic system | [

The Take Marlin off the Menu campaign is designed to educate people about what billfish are, their role in the ecosystem and their imperiled state from commercial overfishing. The ultimate goal is, through education and political advocacy, to end the commercial harvest, sale and importation of marlin, sailfish and spearfish in the United States.
After all, if you saw lion or tiger for sale in a restaurant or grocery store would you buy it?
Of course not.Well, it's time we began thinking of billfish the same way.
Meet the International Game Fish Association,
National Coalition for Marine Conservation, and The Billfish Foundation,
the three U.S.-based groups working together in the campaign.
Learn more about marlin, sailfish and spearfish, their role in the ocean and the status of their populations. Be sure to view our species fact sheets.
Marlin and other billfish populations throughout the world are being wiped out by overharvesting. They may also contain harmful levels of mercury.
Learn more about how the campaign plans to achieve the goal
of getting billfish off menus and out of supermarkets.
Find suggestions for chefs, restaurants owners, food shops, seafood wholesalers, consumers and anglers.
See a list of restaurants and seafood retailers who have taken the pledge and agreed to stop serving billfish. | [

You will also have an official certificate of rank mailed to you upon passing an exam.
What You'll Learn with Ultimate Bo
Introduction to Bo
You will learn about the style, how to use the course, how to choose the right bo, basic grips, and your basic stances.
Stances, Strikes, Blocks, and Combinations using the staff. Traditional, Okinawan based techniques that are the cornerstone of Bōjutsu.
At each belt level, you will learn an entire traditional kata. These kata are formulated so that you can practice with realistic intent.
You will also learn combat bo, which is how to fight with your staff in a self defense or sparring situation. Footwork, movement, combat strikes, blocks, and combinations.
Each level includes full, 30 minute follow-along classes. This is just like attending a live Ultimate Bo class with Sensei Michael. These include a warm up, drills, and much more.
Many techniques conclude with a home practice drill, with which you can follow along and get extra repetitions along with Sensei Michael. Most are designed for solo practice.
Take Your First Class to Begin Your Ultimate Bo Journey
In this first class, you will get introduced to traditional basics (holding the staff), the front stance, overhead front strike, horse stance, overhead rib strike, long front stance, front thrust, a combination drill, and a cool down. Grab your staff, wooden dowel, or broom stick and you can train!

According to a recent Pew Research Center survey, 73 percent of of Americans believe that Jesus was literally born to a virgin. In addition, 81 percent say Jesus was laid in a manger, 75 percent say that the three wise men brought him gifts of frankincense, gold and myrrh, and 74 percent say that his birth was announced by an angel to the shepherds.
A total of 65 percent of Americans believe all four key elements of the Christmas story are to be taken literally – more than the percentage who express confidence in evolution, global warming, or the efficacy of vaccines.

Special thanks and credits to Judge Sabersmith for helping on the design of this one. When I started the project, I had no CF in hands (that happens, believe me) and I decided to make a saber with "what I had in the fridge".
I found out that the MR 616 joe jedi could be a nice base for the starkiller, especially since I finally saw no reason to keep it in my saber collection.. Problem, I didn't want to get many overlays when using it as the main tube (JSS used a 1.25" one), so I chose to carv it to do the little grooves and rings. Second problem, there are those $*ù^ lining grooves for the changeable shrouds, clamps and grip sections. I filled them with some good aluminium added epoxy from loctite, I wasn't sure JBWELD will stick properly.
So far so good. I "opened" the crystal chamber with the mill.
For the blade holder, I had a old anakin conversion kit. But I had to shorten it
► [3 months after]
I decided to try to PC the parts, that's only my second job on it and it went great. I used the flat black and super copper from PBTP. Hot coating made it GAME. As expected the aluminium epoxy slightly shrinked so the grooves of the main tube are still there just a bit like a ghost line, but that's ok, the saber isn't supposed to be "clean"
PC was not just for experimenting. I wanted to have some "age resistant weathering" (tm? ). PC is really hard, and the great thing, it's solvent resistant. Makes weathering harder but when it's done, it's done, no chiping paint.
WIP pictures. I appologize, I don't have access to my SLR right now, creepy cellphone pics. Still working on the outside, I need to make the control box and the rabbit ears. Then I'll finally move to the chassis to hold the MR616 board and speaker.
I was thinking about PC in copper the central rod that fakes holding the crystal. Too much brass kills the brass, I thought a little copper reminder in the crystal chamber could be nice. Maybe not.
99% done. Might have to rework / add some more weathering (I'm not good at that).
the chassis I hadn't posted. Crappy PVC but it worked after some sanding.
The powder coating, as expected, is really hard. Weathering required some steel files and a hobby knife, sand paper just makes the PC go muhahahaha. I kept a simple and top side on/off switch, so it's not a bottom activator but well... it still works. Gluing the grips was not easy at all, but it ended well. I added some screw to ensure they don't go off to fast.
The tiny kill key looks a bit ridiculous but I love it anyway. The recharge port is nicely hidden in the pommel, it's a plus since I'm having holes in the MR pommel, so saving a visible and big recharge port it nice. | [

Hiroyuki (Hiro) Iseki is Associate Professor of Urban Studies and Planning and Research Faculty at the National Center for Smart Growth Research & Education (NCSG) in the School of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation. He has the M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in Urban Planning from UCLA, as well as the Master of Engineering degree from University of Tokyo. His research focuses on balancing efficiency, effectiveness, and equity in public policy and planning with special attentions to transportation, environment, land use, and energy issues (including electric vehicles and related infrastructure issues). Prior to joining UMD, Dr. Iseki taught at University of Toledo, Ohio and University of New Orleans, Louisiana, and has been Research Associate with Mineta Transportation Institute at San Jose State University, California.
Dr. Iseki has worked on various transportation research projects funded by university research centers, foundations, and government agencies, including University of California Transportation Center, Mineta Transportation Institute, Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority, and California Department of Transportation. Dr. Iseki was involved in a series of studies on built environment, transit facilities, and crime incidents in Los Angeles, and developed a new GIS analysis method to incorporate the presence of slopes and intersections in identifying the size of bikeshed, using energy consumption as travel impedance. He was involved in a series of research projects to develop tools to evaluate the transit service quality at bus stops and train station with researchers from the UCLA Institute of Transportation Studies. These tools included: 1) a toolkit of survey instruments, 2) guidelines for conducting a user survey about their perceptions of transit service quality, and 3) a downloadable customized analysis for any specific transit. For a project to assess the feasibility of interoperable smart cards for transit systems, he conducted a cost-benefit analysis, taking into account coordination among transit agencies in the San Francisco Bay area. Recently, Hiro has completed: (1) a study to examine the effects of gasoline prices on ridership of four different transit modes in ten urbanized areas, and (2) a study to develop direct ridership models to estimate the impacts of land use changes on WMATA metro station ridership. The latter study has been extended to a project with Maryland Transit Administration to develop direct ridership models and the excel-based implementation tool for planning purposes. Dr. Iseki has worked with his graduate assistants on a study to examine the distribution of firm locations in relation to rail stations in the Washington DC region and in the State of Maryland, and on a study of transportation demand management programs in university campus setting and of universal transit pass (U-Pass) programs to help the UMD Office of Sustainability and campus community to move forward with campus sustainability agendas.

“Blood test to reveal suicide risk”. I must admit that when I read that headline in my email inbox the other morning, my instant reaction was “WTF? A blood test? Really now lads come on!” I had a blood test the other day and it was to check my iron levels. Now that’s a proper medical thing to check for isn’t it? So let’s talk about the facts first.
A new research team under the direction of Alexander Niculescu at the University of Indiana have hinted that suicidal behaviour may be a distinct disorder regardless of any underlying conditions. This is based on research carried out on a controlled amount of subjects (9) which found that those with bipolar disorder and suicidal thoughts had four genes present which those that did not have suicidal thoughts did not.
So they’ve done their homework. Now, I’m all for science and research and developing new cures for diseases but I have a fundamental problem with this, for a couple of reasons. Firstly, suicidal ideation is a problem with your emotions; it’s a problem in your head. It’s got nothing to do with your blood. It’s not something that you can simply fix. Saying “there’s a blood test for that” makes it sound like there’s a quick fix for it and there just simply is not.
Secondly, the argument in the first place is that there is a stigma attached to mental health and people just won’t talk about it. So what makes getting a blood test to find out if you might want to kill yourself any easier? Come on now, think about it.
Thirdly and probably the most relevant point (and the one I’m probably going to get grief for) is that if you’re at the stage of needing a blood test you probably already know the result.
Blood tests are useful; they help you find out a lot of things. Like if you have low iron levels, high cholesterol, you know the normal medical stuff that you’re meant to find out. It seems to be a medicine versus psychology argument but I think in this case psychology wins out.

CBC OLD BOYS HOCKEY
The CBC Hockey side is known as the 12 Apostles. The Apostles came into being in 1961, when four CBCOB stalwarts – Peter Harvey, “Squash”, Paddy and Max decided to do something about the club’s waning hockey fortunes.
Each of them undertook to recruit three club members and this, then, is how the concept of the “Twelve” came into being.
An enormous pig named Tobias, who lived in a sty on the premises and whose diet consisted mainly of peanuts and beer, became the club mascot. Today, the Apostles wear their own tie and do not rely on mascots to win their games.
As “Squash” so succinctly put it. “These days, we rely on skill and experience. We may not have the speed, but we certainly have the brains. | [

From July 21 to 24 a social forum on regional integration took place at Asunción, the capital of Paraguay. It addressed the possibilities of struggling against the free trade policies imposed on Latin American, African and South Asian countries by the European Union and the World Trade Organisation, through strengthening the economic-political links between countries of the same region.
The choice of a Latin American country was no accident. Indeed, ever since 1999, the question of a regional political alternative has been raised by the social movements of Latin America. Since 2005 we have seen several political changes in Latin America following the accession to office of Chávez in Venezuela, of Lula in Brazil, of Kirchner in Argentina and Morales in Bolivia. Moreover, in the course of 2008 differing concepts of “regionalisation” have clashed in South America with, on the one side, the creation of ALBA, (a social movement uniting several different movements putting forward alternative proposals) backed by the Via Campesina movement as the main process for regionalisation and, on the other hand, the procedures being set up in the context of MERCOSUR and UNASUR. The choice of Asunción was linked to the meeting of the Presidents of the MERCOSUR member-states, due to take place there on Sunday, July 26, to be preceded, the day before, by a major popular mobilisation against this process of regional cooperation, in which the interests of the smaller countries are never really considered.
How can the crisis of the system be resolved in the context of a neoliberal or even a social-democratic project? Any response to the system’s crisis presupposes a new kind of development, another policy of cooperation between countries. Accordingly, for Lugo, the President of Paraguay, it is necessary to accelerate the movement towards regional integration in Latin America.
However, there is the question of what policy of “regional integration” to adopt? That was the issue at the heart of the discussion at the Asunción Forum. Indeed, the current policies to confront the crisis are, above all, national ones, so that the choice between integration or cooperation posed in South America, in the context of MERCOSUR and UNASUR which bring together counties of very different economic strengths, is far from self evident.
Moreover, how does one move from a national response to a regional struggle – and why? Are there not great differences between the forms of association possible in social movements and those of state integration? Does the framework of state forms of cooperation have necessarily to be focused on the regional level, despite the very great differences between countries in the same region of the world? Is this not what the major multinational groups, the USA and the dominant forces are seeking in order to develop a globalised free-trade market? Thus regional integration in the sense of cooperation between countries is not always an alternative nor does it always answer to the wish for another mode of development. Too often, it is linked to a procedure of domination. Nevertheless, is it possible to build another mode of development in Latin America by leaving out Brazil?
In Latin America, only ALBA, an organisation for cooperation rooted in social movements and politically close countries (Cuba, Venezuela, Equador, Honduras, Nicaragua, the Dominican Republic, Paraguay) has set up real cooperation in the fields of public health and education between its member-states. Even so, it must be pointed out that this cooperation in public health and education does not come under the jurisdiction of specifically ALBA missions. On the other hand, the ALBA Bank does answer to these missions, but only manages accounts, which does not allow it to impose uniform economic policies. It provides, nevertheless, a basis of support for going further, including for investments and economic cooperation, in particular because ALBA is not based on states but on social movements, which facilitates public debate on alternatives.
Should not the issue of building a new mode of development and consumption, which runs through all the social movements, be dealt with on the basis of such struggles rather than through inter-state cooperation? This was the subject of the discussions.
In the opinion of Latin American altermondialists, the crisis cannot be confronted in a single country, except by negotiating with a major capitalist power and ending up under its yoke. Consequently we must cooperate. However, the process of regional integration cannot be limited to cooperation in commercial exchanges as is the case with MERCOSUR. Economic cultures must also change. Otherwise, what is to prevent a Latin American peasant from giving up his land for the production of soya beans, which provides nothing in the way of employment and exhausts the soil?
Moreover, change must come from within, not be part of a process imposed from without if we do not want to see secessionist trends develop. However, this raises the question of the national area being an area of democratic citizenship in the face of the need to confront the crisis | [

Oprah Winfrey named this phenomenon the book and double-invited writers to his talk show. People magazine brought it to the category of «must-read», and Elle named the best book on relationships. Almost every glossy magazine at least once printed "Rules" in his room.
By following them, Kate Middleton married a real prince, Beyoncé has found the man of her dreams, and Blake Lively won the heart not a Hollywood bachelor, including Leonardo DiCaprio.
"Rules", time-tested and millions of women who will lead you to the desired goal: to help marry the man of your dreams and keep the love forever.

The American Civil War begins, FDR dies, a Soviet cosmonaut becomes the first human to travel into space, and the first space shuttle lifts off, all on this day.
2011: Japan ranks its nuclear crisis at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant at the highest possible severity on an international scale -- the same level as the 1986 Chernobyl disaster -- even as it insisted radiation leaks were declining at its tsunami-crippled nuclear plant.
On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong became the first man to set foot on the moon. In honor of the 45th anniversary of the moon landing, take a look at past and future missions as well as video footage. | [

For over a decade now, Subaru WRX and WRX STI drivers have gotten into their cars, glanced at the ceiling, realized it was made entirely of used wet cardboard, and entirely didn’t care because the car went like hell and was stupid levels of fun. Now Subaru’s gone and made the thing even faster, but with more sound deadening and “comfort.”
And while Subaru said it “upgraded the interior materials of the car,” it hasn’t said anything about the interior roof of the car. So there’s a chance it’ll still be made out of strange-feeling sadness.
Both the WRX and the habañero-heat STI get revised suspension, which Subaru says will somehow provide the magic of both better handling and a more comfortable ride. The WRX itself also received a bit of fiddling with the transmission, with Subaru saying that they:
significantly enhanced shifter feel for the 6-speed manual transmission, with a new synchro design and reduced friction, along with smoother clutch take-up.
They also tweaked with the electric steering a bit, saying that it now features a more natural feel, which, well, we’ll see.
There’s also a new option package which gives you power seats (who cares), red paint on your brake calipers (genuinely, who the hell cares????), new brake pads (oh, okay, that’s cool I suppose) and a moonroof deletion, purely in the interest of saving weight (neat!).
Here are what those brakes look like:
The STI gets an even bigger boost though, and it’s not just the typical dimwitted carmaker idea of “shove more power in it and hope for the best,” as welcome as that normally is. No, it doesn’t get more power, but, well, I’ll just let Subaru explain it:
A comprehensive handling enhancement for the 2018 STI includes the revised suspension tuning as featured on the WRX, plus a revised DCCD AWD system, significantly upgraded brakes and this model’s first-ever 19-inch wheels. The DCCD system, which previously used a combination of mechanical and electronic center limited slip differential control, now uses electronic control for quicker and smoother response. The 19-inch alloy wheels feature a striking Y-shaped spoke design and carry 245/35R19 tires that help raise cornering performance while giving the STI an even more aggressive stance.
The yellow-painted brake calipers identify a significantly upgraded Brembo Performance Brake System that now uses stronger monoblock 6-piston calipers in front, monoblock 2-piston calipers in the rear and larger, drilled rotors all around for better heat dissipation. New brake pads provide significantly greater surface area for improved braking feel and fade resistance. The STI also offers the Recaro seats (standard on STI Limited, optional for base trim).
Here’s what those brakes look like:
But in addition to all the go-fast goodies, Subaru’s also made a deal with the devil of weight to make the cars somewhat nicer places to be, instead of the dungeons of some WRXs of years past.
There’s thicker door glass, revised door sealing and a foam-filled windshield header beam. The infotainment screen is over an inch-and-a-half bigger. The company revised the front structure of the cars, so that they’re safer. They put in an auto-hold function in.
The WRX and WRX STI are growing up, and there’s always a little bit of sadness there. I’m okay with this, though. | [

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Will Rogers Gardens is one of the city's historic parks and is open year-round.
Within its 30 acres, Will Rogers Gardens features a 2-acre color garden nestled between the Gardens' two ponds, the Charles E. Sparks Rose Garden, a 7-acre arboretum and a conservatory with a cacti and succulent collection. It also features display beds of daylilies, iris, azaleas, herbs and peonies.
The Ed Lycan conservatory was designed by architects Lord and Burnham and was first erected in Douglass Park in 1924. In 1936 the conservatory was moved to Will Rogers Park.
Gardening and nature-related classes for all ages and other events are held in the Garden Exhibition Building, home to the Oklahoma City Council of Garden Clubs.
Will Rogers Gardens is part of Will Rogers Park, which features a family aquatics center, the 24-court Oklahoma City Tennis Center, a disk golf course, and one of Oklahoma City's two senior adult recreation centers. | [

White House trade adviser Peter Navarro said Saturday that he is confident that another stimulus package is likely for the end of the summer and that President Donald Trump is on board for a deal.
Navarro, speaking to CNN, said he believes a package aimed at bolstering manufacturing and costing around $2 trillion is one Trump would be most likely to favor.
"We are facing significant structural headwinds because certain service-oriented industries like entertainment, hospitality and transportation have especially been hurt because of COVID-19,” Navarro said. "The only way to fully rebuild the economy in the face of those headwinds is to significantly expand and strengthen our manufacturing base."
"Put simply, we need to create more manufacturing jobs. Manufacturing jobs not only provide good wages but also create more jobs both up- and downstream through multiplier effects,” Navarro said.
House Democrats passed legislation in May that included $1,200 checks for virtually every adult and child in the country, nearly $1 trillion for state, local and tribal governments and $200 billion for hazard pay for essential workers. The price tag for that legislation was expected to be more than $3 trillion.
Navarro said the Trump was likely to support a bill more along the lines of $2 trillion, which is a trillion dollars more than what Mitch McConnell wants and a trillion less than what Nancy Pelosi said is needed.
The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Trump is planning to meet with his senior advisers as soon as this week to discuss another stimulus package, according to a senior administration official.
“We’ve been through the rescue phase and we’re now in the transitional reopening phase and I think generally speaking we’d like to move into a growth-incentive phase for the future economy,” the senior administration official said.
Trump, his advisers and many Republicans in Congress have been taking a wait-and-see approach to the next round of stimulus relief.
The administration is also discussing a tourism tax deduction or tax credit for families or individuals who take a vacation somewhere in the U.S. in the next three to six months, the Journal reported.
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said on Capitol Hill last week that Trump is “seriously considering” more stimulus in the form of a possible second stimulus check or funding for businesses in certain sectors.
A payroll tax cut, return-to-work bonus, and financial incentives to bring manufacturing jobs from abroad are believed to be some of the programs Trump supports and is considering.

Das BP Tangguh Erdgasprojekt in West-Papua/ Indonesien
The BP Tangguh gas project in the Indonesian province of (West) Papua is the currently largest development project in Indonesia. Situated in Bintuni Bay in the west of New Guinea, BP intends to extract natural gas from offshore gas fields, liquefy it on land and export it to customers such as China and the United States.
Apart from the police and the military, local state institutions are weak. The region has to be considered as underdeveloped—even for Indonesian standards. The Tangguh project will lead to major changes in the ecological, social, political and cultural circumstances in the region. These changes can induce conflicts and their escalation, especially since the project is situated in yet another political environment, which is characterized by conflict between the Indonesian central government and its security forces on the one hand and a Papuan secession movement on the other, and by complex competition between various sectors of the Papuan–Indonesian political elite.

Welcome back to the series, How to setup VMware vSphere Lab in VMware Workstation.
This is the fifth part of the guide, where we will be installing the nested ESXi hosts in our VMWare vSphere Lab. As a recap, in the first part we dealt with the prerequisites and in the second, we designed the network using Virtual Network Editor. In the third, we created a template to install the necessary VM’s and in the fourth part, we installed a Domain Controller using the same template.
The installation of nested ESXi hosts inside of VMware Workstation is just really very easy process compared to early versions.
Note that we would have some performance issues, as we are using our HDD to build this entire setup. If you are really concerned about the performance, I suggest you go with SSD as they are pretty darn fast.
Click on File > New Virtual Machine > select Custom option and click Next.
In the Install from the section, select the radio button Installer disc image file and provide the path of the ISO file that you downloaded from the VMWare site.
Next up, you need to provide the Name of the VM and the location that you want to save it.
Next, you will need to provide the number of processors. In our case, we will give 4.
Give the default RAM of 4GB.
Next select all the default values as seen below and power ON the ESXi host.
Then run the ESXi 6 installer. You’ll be presented with screenshots like this one.
Accept the License Agreement.
The Virtual Hard disk drive…..
Provide the Root user password.
Reboot the ESXi host once the installation is completed.
After the reboot hit F2 and log into the console. You’ll see the screen like this.
You can attach the first 2 NIC cards.
We need to configure the IP address, hostname, DNS settings here…
Let’s configure the DNS information too.
Restart the management network. Hit Yes.
That’s it! You just saw that how easy it was to install the ESXi host. Now go ahead and do the same for the next host ESXi6-02.
This is the fifth part of the VMWare vSphere Lab using VMWare Workstation. Links to the rest of the articles can be found below.

Marquette, Mich.—Northern Michigan University Olympic Training Site wrestlers defeated the All-Navy team 14 matches to three tonight in a freestyle and Greco-Roman dual meet. The NMU-OTS squad earned nine wins by technical fall, four by pin and one match going the full two rounds.
Although the NMU-OTS athletes train exclusively in the Greco-Roman style, team members also competed in freestyle matches to allow the All-Navy team to prepare for upcoming events where they will compete in that style. The NMU-OTS team took the win in the freestyle portion of the competition with a team score of eight matches to one.
The Greco-Roman portion of the evening showed the NMU squad's experience at that discipline with all six of their wins coming by technical fall.
The All-Navy team is in Marquette until February 20 preparing for the Armed Forces Wrestling Championships February 21-25 held on the U.S. Army's Fort Bliss Base in Texas.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), in 2017, 3,166 people died due to distracted driving. Another 795 people died due to drowsy driving. Injuries caused by distracted and drowsy driving accidents measure in the hundreds of thousands, says the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Clearly, this is an epidemic. To address the problem, car companies and their suppliers are developing ways to reduce the number of drowsy and distracted drivers on the road. By installing driver monitoring systems in modern cars, the intent is to identify when the driver is not paying attention and remind the driver to be alert at all times.
What is a driver monitoring system?
When a driver monitoring system determines that you are drowsy or distracted, it issues an alert recommending that you take a break. (Photo: Volvo)
A driver monitoring system uses a charge-coupled device camera equipped with infrared sensors. This camera, frequently mounted to a car’s steering column, employs infrared LED detectors that track the driver’s eye movements, monitor head position, and even measure eyelid activity.
When the system determines that a driver is not paying enough attention to the road, or is getting sleepy, it issues an alert and recommends taking a break. Some network with a car’s advanced driving assistance systems (ADAS), and warn a driver to pay closer attention when potentially dangerous situations develop.
Lexus was the first automaker to install a driver monitoring system in a vehicle. Other companies, such as Volvo, quickly followed suit while improving on the first systems. Now, more than a decade later, many automakers offer driver-monitoring systems as standard equipment, typically bundled with ADAS technology. Depending on the design, modern driver monitoring systems may also employ data from other sources. These include electric steering and lane monitoring systems, as well as vehicle speed.
Cadillac Super Cruise, among the most advanced semi-autonomous driving technologies available today, relies on one of the most sophisticated driver monitoring cameras. From a location at the top of the steering wheel, it intensely monitors both head position and eye movement – even when the driver has sunglasses on.
Future driver monitoring systems will use facial recognition technology
Facial recognition technology is the next frontier in driver monitoring systems. In the future, you might be able to control your vehicle’s controls using nothing but eye movements. (Photo: Volvo)
The next frontier in driver monitoring systems is facial recognition technology. In addition to observing you as you drive, it will recognize you and alter the driving environment to specific seating, climate, and infotainment preferences.
Subaru is among the first to employ facial recognition in its vehicles. The company’s DriverFocus system reminds you to pay attention if you’ve looked away from the road for more than three seconds. It networks with Subaru’s EyeSight suite of ADAS, which automatically enters a heightened state of sensitivity when DriverFocus is in alert status. DriverFocus is available in Subaru’s Forester, Legacy, and Outback models.
Expect more facial recognition systems in future cars. For example, the Faraday Future FF 91 ultra-luxury electric vehicle will have four facial recognition cameras. They will help tailor individual seating zones to personal preferences.
Ultimately, driver-monitoring systems may allow drivers to control vehicle functions using nothing but eye movement. For now, though, get enough sleep before getting behind the wheel. And put the phone down when you’re on the road.
Thousands of lives depend on it. | [

Due to COVID-19, businesses are experiencing unprecedented disruption to supply and demand, resulting in significant economic contraction. As a result, unemployment has drastically increased, with consumers unable to make repayments for staple expenses such as mortgages and credit card bills. To alleviate stress for Australians facing financial hardship, many banks are granting a six-month deferral on loan repayments for eligible customers, with no affect to their credit rating.
This webinar sees one of Australia’s leading bureaus – Equifax - offer exclusive insights on the recent changes to credit reporting in Australia, what financial institutions need to be aware of with credit reporting in this current climate and the initiatives available to borrowers to minimise the impact of Coronavirus on their credit standing.

The following points highlight the top eight practical applications of protoplast culture.
Application # 1. Production of Somatic Hybrids:
To overcome the sexual incompatibility barriers the protoplast fusion programme may be taken to obtain the interspecific and inter-generic hybrids. For example, the fusion between Lycopersicon esculentum (tomato) and Solanum tuberosum (potato) have been possible to obtain the somatic hybrid ‘Pomato’, at inter-generic level.
Similarly attempts to overcome the conventional breeding barrier between many species of Oryza have been possible through this process. The interspecific somatic hybrids have been obtained through fusion with many wild species of Oryza like O. brachyantha, O. eichingeri, O. officinales, etc.
Many asymmetric hybrid have also been developed when there is partial fusion, i.e., these somatic hybrids do not contain the total complete set of chromosomes of both the parents, rather there are variation in chromosome number of different somatic hybrids obtained.
Application # 2. Somatic Hybrids with Specific Alien Gene:
(a) Gene for Disease Resistance:
There are many disease resistance genes available among the wild varieties of Solanaceae and Brassicaceae. So many of the protoplast fusion programmes have been done among the wild and cultivated varieties of Brassicaceae and Solanaceae successfully.
For example, the disease resistance gene has been successfully transferred to Lycopersicon esculcmtum from a wild relative Solarium orchranthum, a woody vine yielding tomato like fruit.
Resistance to blackleg disease (Phoma lingam) has been found in Brassica nigra, B. juncea and B. carinata, the symmetric and asymmetric hybrids between these gene donors and B. napus, the resistant somatic hybrids have been developed.
(b) Abiotic Stress Resistance:
The fusion programme for transfer of abiotic stress resistance property has been mainly done on families like Fabaceae, Brassicaceae, Poaceae and Solanaceae. The somatic hybrids between Solanum lycopersicoides and Lycopersicon esculentum showed cold tolerance, the somatic hybrid between Solanum tuberosum and S. acaule developed disease resistant characters.
(c) Quality Characters:
Somatic hybrids between Brassica sp. and Eruca sativa i.e. Erucobrassica showed low erucic acid content which has been used further to transfer the low erucic acid gene into the cultivar variety by conventional breeding programme. The high nicotine content has been obtained in Nicotiana tabacum from N. rustica by this fusion programme.
Application # 3. Production of CMS Line:
Cybrid production programme has become very much useful to transfer the agronomic traits which are encoded by cytoplasmic genome such as cytoplasmic male sterility character or the herbicide resistance property, etc. Cybridisation has been successfully used to transfer the CMS in rice, Brassica and Chicory. Resistance to herbicides (atrazine) and antibiotics as well as CMS has been successfully introduced in many cultivated species of Brassica.
Application # 4. Production of Unique Nuclear-Cytoplasmic Combination:
Though the protoplast fusion programme results into the mixing of both nuclear and cytoplasm of both the parents initially but during developmental process sometimes some nuclear material may get eliminated as also the cytoplasm of one parent may predominate.
In such cases the newer combination of nucleus and cytoplasm may develop some novel and unique germplasm which is not possible through conventional breeding programme.
Application # 5. Production of Autotetraploid or Allotetraploid:
Somatic hybridisation can be used as an alternative way to obtain the tetraploid without the use of colchicine, i.e., fusion within the same species yield autotetraploid and between different species easily result into allotetraploid.
Application # 6. Production of Heterozygous Line:
In case of vegetatively reproducing crop the protoplast fusion programme may be an useful way to produce heterozygous line, as there the general sexual breeding cannot yield potential result.
Application # 7. Production of Fertile Diploid and Polyploid from Sterile Line:
When sterile line is obtained through some conventional breeding programme then either by partial fusion or by cybrid production the fertile diploid or by total fusion the polyploid line can be raised.
Application # 8. Production of Hybrid at the Juvenile Phase:
Even before reaching the reproductive stage the protoplasts from the parental plants can be used to obtain the somatic hybrid or cybrid. | [

The environment during the growing season is a major determinant of fiber quality and, therefore, of price in upland cotton [Gossypium hirsutum]. Water deficits during fruit [boll] formation and seed and fiber maturation increase the number of underdeveloped seeds [motes], decrease fiber maturity, and increase fiber thickness [and micronaire]. Low insolation during fruit development also decreases fiber maturity. All of these changes associated with environmental conditions lower bulk fiber quality by increasing the number of point sources of low quality fiber. Plant mapping techniques have been used to determine the effects growth environment and two types of row-irrigation on mote frequency, fiber/seed maturity, and fiber quality [Immature Fiber Content, Fine Fiber Content, Short Fiber Content, Length, Diameter, Area, and micronAFIS as determined by AFIS, Advanced Fiber Information System] with respect to boll and locule position. Elevated Short Fiber Content, observed in fiber from the rainfed [control] plants and attributed to early-season drought, was not found in fiber grown under in-row micro-irrigation. Increased Fine Fiber and Immature Fiber Fractions associated with low insolation were observed in fiber produced under rainfed and irrigated conditions. Plant-mapping population statistics, coupled with AFIS measurements, have great potential as predictors of the abnormal seed and fiber development and the probability of undyed fabric "white specks" associated with the presence of motes and immature fiber. | [

Amitai Etzioni University Professor and Professor of International Affairs, GW University :
The most widely predicted course for Washington over the next two years is gridlock. I see it — this is true only for liberal policies but not for many conservative ones. It is already clear that conservatives will get basically the kind of extension of the Bush tax cuts they want — by far the biggest item for the near future, involving $3 or $4 trillion, depending on the small print.
In addition, they will, in one way or another, undermine what they call “Obamacare," although not abolish it. And the same holds for the new financial regulations. That is, they will roll back “only” the two main achievements of the first two years of the Obama presidency.
In addition, the conservatives (GOP plus select Democrats) will get to cut the spending of most if not all discretionary federal programs. And, if recent news items are to be trusted, the GOP may even get Obama to lead the trimming of entitlements, while conservatives will hold that they would not go near Medicare and Social Security, even with a children’s pair of scissors.
The FDA, the EPA, climate control, science — and above all, the new consumer protection agency — are all in for a close haircut.
Even D.C. gun control regulations will be further trimmed (although there is not much left to cut).
Additional contributions to the conservative causes are to be expected from the U.S. Supreme Court.
If this is gridlock, I do not know what you would call a major sweep. | [

The airline with the best average rating is Air Canada with 7.5/10.
The average flight time is 6 hours and 58 minutes.More information
I really enjoyed flying on AC 787-9 and especially appreciated the crew on both legs for going the extra mile to get me some souvenirs. After we arrived at LHR I was given a tour of the J cabin before deplaning by the flight manager who explained the features of the seat in detail. I thought that was top notch service and really made my experience more special. The 787 offered a smooth ride and the entertainment system had a great assortment of films. Please be aware that if you are seating in rows 44 or above, your overhead bin space might be restricted due to cabin design or storage of equipment. Catering was OK for the flight length. | [

EASY homemade dog cookies!
OK it's no secret that I don't cook much. I'm not very good at it when I do, and it isn't something I particularly enjoy. Thankfully I married a man who can cook and IS good at it. But here is a super easy dog cookie recipe I made up on my own. I decided to experiment abit with the honest kitchen Zeal formula. I hydrated 1/2 cup of the dry Zeal with just under a half cup of warm water. After letting it set (to properly hydrate) I stirred it and realized it needed a little more to hold it together so I added 1 egg. (shell included ~ they are great for the calcium but wash the egg first) Spoon onto a cookie sheet in the size you want them to be. (they did not change size other than to flatten slightly) Then I baked them for about 30 minutes on 350, til the edges started turning brown. I used a no-burn cookie sheet and did not grease it. Once they were done I let them cool on the sheet. Ta da!!
That small amount made 6 good size cookies. (about 2 and 1/2 to 3 inches across) I figure they can be broken up into smaller pieces easier than trying to make them small to begin with. You do not want the mix to be to soupy so if you think you've added to much water just add a little more of the food to even it back out and make it thicker. Refrigerate (or freeze) after baking to keep fresh. You can probably use something other than an egg to thicken the mix for baking as well. The egg was just the thing that I thought of at that moment.
I think that this is a great idea for anyone who wants to try keeping their dog in a limited diet for any reason. Just use the food your dog eats (if it's an Honest Kitchen formula) to make their treats as well! They even passed Jack's test and he is my fussy eater! I can't wait to try this with some of the other formulas too. I'm sure you could add meat if you wanted as well. Your imagination is the limit.

Offering private in home training and behavior consultations in Mid-Coast Maine
E-mail me at CanineHelp@aol.com or call 207-354-6488 to schedule an appointment. Click on the photo for a link to my facebook page.
In 1992, after serving for 6 years in the United States Marine Corps, I decided to settle down in my hometown in Mid-Coast Maine. I got my first dog, (as a bona-fide adult) an akita, and joined the local kennel club. I also joined akita rescue and learned alot about the breed. In turn I began helping educate others. This taught me how important training is for ALL dogs. Thus began my (unofficial) foray into the world of dog training.
I worked for a few years at a local veterinarians office and then began working at our local humane society. While there I saw many dogs being given up for simple training issues. About that time the kennel club began looking for a new trainer to teach group obedience classes. I decided I might be able to handle that challenge once I had more official training of my own.
I found an excellent trainer to mentor with and in October of 2001 after a year of hands on training and study I completed my apprenticeship under Lloyd Williams of Bear Brook Kennels. During that apprenticeship, in addition to learning all the basics, I got to assist in the training of police dogs in narcotics, tracking and cadaver dogs with the medical examiners office.
Not only did I learn how to be a dog trainer, more importantly, I learned how to teach owners how they could communicate more effectively with their dogs. I consider that training just the beginning in my canine education. I continue to attend seminars and keep current through reading about recent advancements in dog training methods. I am a former member of The Association of Professional Dog Trainers.
I use positive reinforcement methods whenever possible during training sessions. Positive reinforcement helps make the training experience more enjoyable for both the dog and owner, producing a better learning environment. I also utilize hand signals in my training which is very useful with deaf dogs as well as hearing ones. My methods include lure/reward and marker training. (with or without a clicker depending on owner preference)

Snow comes to Mississippi Monday and it will stick, at least for a while
Published 10:02 pm Saturday, January 26, 2019
An arctic cold front will plunge into Mississippi Monday dramatically dropping temperatures and bringing a good chance of snow for several parts of the state.
National Weather Service forecasters predict the area along and north of the Interstate-20 corridor is expected to receive 1 to 2 inches of snowfall Monday night into Tuesday morning.
“The best chance of snow is Monday night into early Tuesday morning,” said Janae Elkins, meteorologist with the NWS in Jackson. “There will be some rain, and it could turn into snow late Monday night.”
Elkins said an elevated threat of snow accumulation is possible north of Jackson in Grenada, Cleveland and Bolivar County.
Conditions are favorable for the snow to likely accumulate, forecasters predict.
Temperatures are expected to be well below normal, some areas will have temperatures some 20 to 25 degrees below normal.
North Mississippi will see temperatures plunge into the low 20s Monday night and Tuesday night. Central Mississippi and southern Mississippi will see lows in the mid to upper 20s. | [

Electric Vehicle Fuel Savings Calculator
Enter the gas mileage of a gas-powered vehicle and the energy efficiency of an electric vehicle to estimate the savings in fuel costs of driving an electric vehicle.
On this page:
How to Estimate the Savings of an Electric Vehicle
Electric vehicles (EVs) are much better for the environment and, in most cases, are more cost-effective to operate than a gas-powered vehicle. In addition to their energy costs usually being lower, EVs also have fewer moving parts and require much less maintenance over the life of the vehicle.
Your actual savings will be based on a variety of factors that include the number of miles that you drive, the cost of electricity in your area, the efficiency of your EV, the fuel economy of your internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle, and the cost of gasoline or diesel fuel in your area.
To calculate how much you can save in energy costs, follow these three simple steps:
Step One: Estimate the Cost of Charging an Electric Vehicle
Keep in mind that an electric vehicle is not necessarily free to run. The electricity needed to charge its battery has a cost that you must pay for.
On average, the cost per kilowatt-hour (kWh) is $0.14 for electricity, but this varies widely by geographic location. The exact cost also depends on where you charge your EV. Home charging is the least expensive option, while public chargers typically cost much more.
To estimate the cost to charge the battery in an electric car, start by getting the EPA kWh/100mi energy efficiency number for that electric vehicle, which can also be found on its window sticker.
Then, use the following formula to calculate the cost of the electricity required to charge that EV’s battery:
electric cost = distance driven / 100 × kWh/100mi × price/kWh
Thus, the cost to charge the batteries is the distance driven divided by 100, multiplied by the number of kilowatt-hours used per 100 miles, multiplied by the price of electricity per kilowatt-hour.
Step Two: Estimate the Cost of Gasoline
The next step is to estimate the cost of gasoline for the ICE vehicle. This can be done if you know its fuel efficiency in miles per gallon. Use our gas mileage calculator to find its fuel efficiency.
Then, use this formula to calculate the cost of gasoline for the ICE vehicle:
fuel cost = distance driven / fuel economy × price/gallon
The cost of gasoline is equal to the distance driven, divided by the fuel economy in miles per gallon, multiplied by the price per gallon of the gasoline.
Step Three: Calculate the Savings
Now that you know how much it costs to charge an EV and also how much it costs for gas in your ICE vehicle, you can estimate the savings in energy costs. Use this formula to find the savings:
savings = gasoline costs – electric costs
The savings achieved by operating an EV is equal to the cost of gasoline used to power your ICE vehicle minus the cost of electricity used to charge the EV’s battery.
You might also be interested in calculating the gas savings of upgrading to a more fuel-efficient gas-powered vehicle or hybrid using our fuel savings calculator.

Fishermen advised not to venture into Bay of Bengal sea area
November 8, 2019 02:58 pm
The Department of Meteorology has issued a special advisory for heavy rain, strong winds and rough seas for naval and fishing community in the Bay of Bengal sea area.
The severe cyclonic storm “Bulbul” in the Bay of Bengal sea area has developed into a very severe cyclonic storm and is now located near latitude 17.2N, longitude 87.6E.
It is very likely to intensify further during next 24 hours and move northwards, towards west Bengal (India) and Bangladesh coast, the warning said.
Heavy showers or thundershowers, very strong winds and high seas can be expected in the sea areas between latitude 15N and 22N, longitude 83E and 94E.
Naval and fishing communities, particularly multiday boats, are advised not to venture into above sea areas and requested to be vigilant in this regards till 11th November.
Intermittent showers or thundershowers, strong winds up to 80-100 kmph & gusting up to 120-130 kmph at times and high to very high seas can be expected over warning area (latitudes 15.0°N to 22.0°N and longitudes 84.00E to 95.0°E). | [

Iowans helping Iowans in tough times
Not to be overly sappy, but there is something awe-inspiring about this time of year, when Iowa farmers take to the fields to plant the first seeds of spring.
It’s a new beginning, a new chance to grow and learn and discover. It’s also a real-life reminder of how we’re all interconnected in the sustainability cycle.
Yesterday, I drove past a field where a farmer was preparing the soil for spring planting. To my surprise, I saw a large flock of white gulls following the tractor, taking advantage of the fresh worms and bugs exposed in the turned-up soil.
Just a few feet away from the birds, cows were grazing in the same field, chewing on corn stalks from last year’s crop. In turn, the manure from those cows is a high-quality fertilizer – and a source of food for earthworms and other insects that birds love.
Every day, Iowa farmers can see how they fit into the overall sustainability puzzle.
In this issue of the Iowa Dish, we take a closer look at how farmers are focused on sustainability and the progress they’ve made in adopting new conservation practices, including cover crop and precision farming technology.
We also look at why eggs – a symbol of spring and new beginnings – are an excellent source of high-quality protein and micronutrients, particularly for kids and teens.
In addition, we talk to an Iowa State University veterinarian about how antibiotics usage in livestock is trending down and how farmers are finding alternatives to antibiotics.
One more reminder: Now that it’s spring planting season, be sure to watch for farm vehicles on the roads. Slow down, share the road and stay off your phone when driving.
Stay safe this spring!

Typically there are three check valves in the fresh water system; one at the city water inlet (to prevent pump pressure from forcing water out the entry), one at the outlet of the water pump (to prevent city pressure from backing through the pump and filling the water tank and one at the cold inlet to the water heater. It’s there to prevent hot water from migrating back into the cold water system. If a branch cold line, say to the toilet, is plumbed (tee’d) into the cold line too close to the back of the water heater, it could siphon hot water out of the tank and into the toilet when it is flushed.

Buffalo State is committed to sustainable facilities. This includes a commitment to Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards in its construction. LEED status, granted by the U.S. Green Building Council, recognizes best-in-class sustainable building strategies.
LEED Certification recognizes responsible practices in such areas as choosing sustainable building sites, promoting water efficiency, ensuring better building energy performance, using sustainable building materials, and promoting indoor air quality and access to daylight and views.
A comprehensive rehabilitiation of Houston Gymnasium, completed in summer 2014, has made this building 15 percent more energy efficient than other facilities of its type. It also uses 39 percent less water than its counterparts. During the renovation process, more than 75 percent of waste materials were diverted from landfills.
More than 10 percent of the building materials were processed and manufactured locally, supporting the use of indigenous resources and reducing the environmental impacts of transportation.
As a result of this renovation, Houston Gym has been certified LEED Gold.
LEED Gold certification has been granted for the Buffalo State Technology Building, opened in fall 2013. This facility has photovoltaic panels on its upper roof -- providing 17 percent of the building's power -- and features a vegetative lower roof that absorbs rainwater and maximizes building insulation.
Phase one of Buffalo State's Science and Mathematics Complex is complete, with LEED Gold certification anticipated for this innovative new building. Products in the facility were made from more than 40 percent recycled content, and nearly 40 percent of its construction materials were regionally manufactured. During construction the facility diverted 85 percent of its waste materials from landfills to be reused.
Buffalo State's Student Apartment Complex, completed in 2011, received LEED Gold certification. Housing 500 students in more than 225,000 square feet, it is powered entirely by certified clean source renewable energy.
Completed in 2008, the Burchfield Penney Art Center at Buffalo State was the first art museum in New York State to be LEED-certified, achieving LEED Silver status. It uses about 50 percent less water than other buildings of its type, and is calculated to be 19 percent more energy efficient overall than similar buildings.

The most demanding rally on the WRC calendar, the Safari Rally is tough on cars and competitors alike.
Travelling over 5000kms of rugged unsealed roads through the stunning Kenyan countryside took its to, as did the very changeable and dramatic weather.
When the World Rally Championship teams arrived for the 1984 edition there was some serious talent on the starting list: Rauno Aaltonen, Hannu Mikkola, Timo Salonen, Michele Mouton, Markku Alen, Stig Blomqvist and Bjorn Waldegaard among others.
Local hopes were pinned on Shekhar Mehta, winner of five Safari Rallies between 1973 and 1982.
76 cars started the rally, by the end of the first 1700km leg, just 46 were able to continue.
This review shows the battles on the long, long stages as Aaltonen, Alen, Mikkola and Waldegaard race each other and the dry and dusty conditions. | [

The history of Lithium-ion battery
LiPo cells follow the history of lithium-ion and lithium-metal cells which underwent significant research during the 1980s, reaching a significant milestone with Sony’s first commercial cylindrical Li-ion cell in 1991. After that, other packaging techniques evolved, including the pouch format now also called “LiPo”.
Design origin and terminology of Lithium-ion battery
The original kind of cell named ” lithium polymer ” has technologically evolved from lithium-metal and lithium-ion battery. The primary difference is that instead of using a lithium-salt electrolyte (such as LiPF6) held in an organic solvent (such as EC/DMC/DEC), the battery uses a solid polymer electrolyte (SPE) such as poly(ethylene oxide)(PEO) and so on.
The solid electrolyte can be typically classified as one of three types: dry SPE, gelled SPE and porous SPE. The dry SPE was the first used in prototype batteries, around 1978 by Michel Armand, Domain University, and 1985 by ANVAR and Elf Aquitaine of France, and Hydro Quebec of Canada. From 1990 several organisations like Mead and Valence in the United States and GS Yuasa in Japan developed batteries using gelled SPEs.In 1996, Bellcore in the United States announced a rechargeable lithium polymer cell using porous SPE.
In parallel to the development of these “polymer electrolyte” batteries, the term “lithium polymer” started being used for liquid electrolyte Li-ion cells in pouch format. These cells started appearing in consumer electronics around 1995, eventually becoming known as “LiPo” for some applications.
The confusion in the names may stem from the construction of the basic lithium-ion battery. A typical cell has four main components: positive electrode, negative electrode, separator and electrolyte. The separator itself may be a polymer, such as a microporous film of polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP); thus, even when the cell has a liquid electrolyte, it will still contain a “polymer” component. In addition to this, the positive electrode can be further decomposed in three parts: the lithium-transition-metal-oxide, a conductive additive, and a polymer binder of poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVdF). The negative electrode material may have the same three parts, only with carbon replacing the lithium-metal-oxide.
Therefore, even if a bare, unfinished cell lacks a polymer separator, or any liquid or solid electrolyte, it may still have a “polymer” component in the active materials of the electrodes. This polymer, however, is just a small fraction, typically less than 5% by weight, and does not participate in the electrochemical reactions, being only useful for binding the active particles together to maintain good conductivity, and help make the slurry mix adhere well to the copper and aluminium foils that compose the current collectors of the battery cell. | [

ISLAMABAD: Minister for Information and Broadcasting Marriyum Aurangzeb said on Thursday that National Contingency Energy Saving Plan had been prepared which would significantly reduce the import bill.
In a tweet, she said that this decision was made in a meeting chaired by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on economic recovery and elimination of energy shortage.
The minister said that extraordinary measures were decided in the meeting in an extraordinary situation.
She said that emergency saving plan would be presented in the next cabinet meeting for final approval.
She said that all the chief ministers would also be invited to the upcoming cabinet meeting as the plan be implemented in collaboration with the provinces. She said that a decision to crack down on electricity theft was also taken.
She said that converting private and government buildings to solar energy was also part of the plan.
The purpose of the Emergency Energy Saving Plan, she said was to reduce the pressure on the people and the economy as the price of fuel, including oil, continued to rise in the global market.
She said that Pakistan’s import bill was $29 billion annually which in rupees terms amounted to more than 6 trillion.
As a result of the energy saving plan, billions of dollars will be saved annually, which would be more than Rs 262 billion in Pakistani rupees.
Extraordinary measures were necessary to cope with the extraordinary situation in which every Pakistani will have to play his part, she maintained.
The minister quoted the Prime Minister as saying that saving energy was the problem of Pakistan’s survival. | [

IDE colors can be customized by the OEM provider by two alternative methods:
1. From the IDE. In the Window->Preferences dialog, select General->Appearance->Colors There you can set colors for the different parts of the IDE, by selecting a component a pressing the "Edit" button. The suggested items to change are those under the "View and Editor Folders".
When you are done, exit the IDE, and look for the file "org.eclipse.ui.workbench.prefs" in the folder c:\geb\workspace\.metadata_x\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.runtime\.settings\
This is the file that must be copied as explained below
2. Alternatively, you directly edit the file "org.eclipse.ui.workbench.prefs" The colors are expressed as RGB tuples (0-255). Each relevant lines specifies a customized colour for a UI component, for example
org.eclipse.ui.workbench.ACTIVE_TAB_TEXT_COLOR=0,64,0 org.eclipse.ui.workbench.ACTIVE_NOFOCUS_TAB_BG_START=192,192,192 org.eclipse.ui.workbench.ACTIVE_NOFOCUS_TAB_BG_END=64,128,128In this example, the first line specifies the colour (dark green) for the active view and title text (foreground). The second and third specify the background for the "active but without focus" tabs. The START/END suffixes denote the primary/secondary colours for a gradient fill.
The IDE must be restarted for this changes to take effect.
After you have modified the colours (by one of the two methods above), the relevant file ("org.eclipse.ui.workbench.prefs") is considered one of the "IDE customization files". | [

The global non-alcoholic steatohepatitis biomarkers market size is expected to reach USD 2.09 billion by 2025, at a CAGR of 30.1% according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Increasing incidence of chronic liver diseases is expected to propel the demand for NASH biomarkers over the forecast period. The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey recently found that approximately 30% of Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Diseases (NAFLD) occurred in the U.S. alone. This disease remains undiagnosed, as a liver can remain fatty without any change in its function. However, it can progress into a serious condition, known as nonalcoholic steatosis that may result in liver failure. NASH is characterized by inflammation and irreversible cell death.
Rising demand for non-invasive diagnostic tools for detection of NASH is another driver of market. Traditionally, liver biopsy is performed to diagnose NAFLD and its degenerative condition, that is, NASH. This technique is expensive and invasive in nature. This disadvantage has led to the development of noninvasive and cost-efficient diagnostic techniques such as biomarker tests. It is observed that many key companies spent significantly on research and development activities to introduce novel biomarker tests. These factors are expected to propel NASH biomarkers market in the coming years.
The drug manufacturers are focusing on tapping unmet medical needs for treatment of NASH to capture additional market share. Strategic collaborations, expansion in developing geographies, and technological advancements are some of the key strategies adopted by existing market players.

During this Navaratri season, I have been contemplating the ways in which the qualities of the Devi, the great Goddess, have manifested in my own
. I think of the courage it took to embark on the spiritual path as a boon from Durga. I reflect upon the great bliss I have felt through chanting as a gift from Lakshmi. And I have experienced the presence of Saraswati as I have repeated the mantra.
This morning I chanted the
in celebration of Navaratri. I gave myself fully to the practice of chanting and I felt great joy for the day ahead. Filled with solemnity, I then visited the Navaratri 2014 Photo Gallery. How splendidly these images—the abundance of flowers, the beauty in the composition of colors, the precious fabrics, the golden leaves, and the golden rays of sunlight—illustrate the words of Jnaneshwar Maharaj's
as he invites us to "see what a golden day it is today."
Beholding Bade Baba's radiant form, I became completely still for a moment. From this stillness the words "This beauty
within you!" arose.
Thank you, Bade Baba, for your benevolent grace that makes me recognize inner beauty.
When I beheld the last photograph, showing Bada Baba's
in the Temple, seen from the outside, I immediately entered a space of deep, abiding peace. I feel enveloped in and permeated by this peace, which I experienced as "the space of flawless quietude."
My gratitude for the Guru's grace, and for how it is made available to us through the Siddha Yoga path website, knows no bounds.
in these images shines through like a radiant light. I find myself inspired to make my own home shine like this, with such purity. So beautiful! It goes beyond gleaming brass and gorgeous flowers. It is the fruit of the years of the grace of the Guru and the
performed by sevites in the Ashram.

Card Sagas Wars is a PC game currently being developed by Arhuon and Orkimedes. The game utilizes the MUGEN engine, but unlike other MUGEN games all of the sprites are made entirely by scratch. This not only gives the game a uniform and "professional" artstyle, but it also allows for better control of balance.
Although the game is unfinished, many trailers and gameplay videos have been released. All of the info can be found here. The official website can be found here (it's entirely in Spanish, though), but is currently unable to receive updates.
The playable cast includes:
- Cloud, Link, KOS-MOS, X, Soma Cruz, Crono, Master Chief, Samus Aran, Lenneth, Walküre, Etna, Ivy, Chun-Li, Leon Magnus, Reiji Arisu, Bowser, Donkey Kong, Chocobo, Sonic the Hedgehog, Nina, Yugo
On top of that, there are sixteen more characters yet to come.
- Assist Character: The Support Card System. By taking damage or blocking, the player can receive a random Support Card, which can be used to summon a character for an attack. Cards are ranked A-B-C, with Rank A cards being the most powerful but the hardest to get. This video shows how the system works.
- Author Appeal: The likely reason for Ivy's current chest size; according to Ahruon, Orkimides insisted on choosing the biggest size available for her sprite revision. The end result, however, borders on Gag Boobs territory.
- Boss Battle: Confirmed as present via the Mugen Guild thread. The only revealed boss so far is Diablo as he's seen in Diablo II.
- Composite Character: Several members of the playable cast are this.
- Samus is a notable example. She's wearing the Super Metroid/Metroid Prime era Varia Suit, and is equipped with her standard arsenal of weapons, including Power Bombs, Super Missiles, and the Ice Beam. However, she also brings along the Grapple Lasso, the Overblast technique, and even the Zero Laser.
- Cool Versus Awesome: Any match is guaranteed to be this.
- Desperation Attack/Limit Break: The Crisis Card Attacks. See "Difficult but Awesome" below.
- Development Hell: Given that it's made by only two people who work on it in their free time and has been in development for four years, it'd be more surprising if it didn't fall in this.
- Difficult but Awesome: The Crisis Card Attacks. Before you can even perform the attack, your health must be low enough to be flashing red and you must have both Alpha and Beta Meters filled. You then must successfully hit the opponent with a Chain Attack, which can be blocked and which will use up a Crisis Card no matter if it hits or misses. Keep in mind that you only get two cards per match, and they don't replenish. However, if you hit the Chain Attack you are treated to a 30-second cinematic of concentrated awesome as your character beats the living hell out of the opponent.
- Demoted to Extra: Many characters (such as King Dedede) were initially considered for the roster before being made into Support Cards. The most notable example is Mai Shiranui, who actually had pictures and gameplay footage of her as a playable character before she was downgrade to Support Card status.
- Doing It for the Art
- Dueling Games: Not so much the case with Card Sagas Wars itself, but some of the gameplay trailers pair characters from what could be considered rival franchises.
- Loads and Loads of Characters: The total roster is slated to have 36 characters, which is surprisingly high even by professional standards. The total number of Support Cards is also said to be over 90.
- Mega Crossover/Mascot Fighter: Being MUGEN-based, it's par for the course.
- Scenery Porn: The stages, whether you're in the Sacred Forest Meadow, on the surface of Valhalla, crossing Zenan Bridge, or inside the Ceres Space Colony, there's so much to look at, you just might find yourself forgetting about the fight at hand.
- Schedule Slip: The game has been in development for several years and | [

Seneca Resources Corp., the exploration and production (E&P) arm of National Fuel Gas Co., has curtailed some Marcellus Shale production, is delaying some well completion activities there and possibly may not participate in some joint venture wells with partner EOG Resources Inc. because of low natural gas prices, the company said Monday.
Seneca plans to curtail a total of 15 MMcf/d in total. The E&P unit currently produces about 115 MMcf/d in the Marcellus across a total of 745,00 net acres; it has an estimated 5,387 well locations. EOG, which participates with Seneca in a portion of the acreage, now operates about 168,500 of the net acreage. Seneca and EOG together have completed 122 wells.
National Fuel officials said they were “curtailing production in excess of firm sales” into Tennessee Gas Pipeline Co.’s TGP Line 300. Beginning Sunday (April 1), production into TGP would be 132.5 MMcf/d, said the company. In addition, some Marcellus well completions may be delayed by as long as six months. And it may consider “nonparticipation” in some EOG JV wells. Seneca would maintain a 20% interest in the wells drilled by EOG on acreage where Seneca owns the mineral rights.
“National Fuel and its subsidiaries have always focused on maximizing the long term value of assets, and today is no different,” said CEO David Smith. “Despite the headwinds we face in the current natural gas price environment, the quality of our assets and the strength of our balance sheet provide us with the flexibility to make decisions that are beneficial to the company in the long run.
“By curtailing a modest amount of current natural gas production and delaying some Marcellus completions, we are still able to increase production and achieve growth across many of our businesses while preserving the value of our assets for the future when we anticipate higher natural gas prices.”
In February Seneca dropped two of its six drilling rigs in the Marcellus play to cope with lower gas prices (see Shale Daily, Feb. 8). At that time, Seneca President Matthew Cabel said the Marcellus JV with EOG was not expected to change substantially but if natural gas prices were to remain low, the company would “have the option of not participating in the EOG wells” in fiscal year (FY) 2013, “while still maintaining the 20% royalty interest in wells drilled on our fee acreage” (see Shale Daily, Jan. 11, 2011).
National Fuel also has revised its FY2012 production forecast to 81-90 Bcfe, which is down from a previous forecast of 85-95 Bcfe. “This reduction is a result of the company’s response to a significant decline in natural gas prices, in combination with lower-than-anticipated production from Seneca’s nonoperated joint venture in the Marcellus Shale,” officials said. The company also updated its FY2013 production forecast to 112-126 Bcfe, which includes anticipated output of 88-98 Bcfe from the Marcellus Shale and 19-21 Bcfe from California crude oil properties.
In FY2012 total capital spending is forecast to be $900 million to $1.05 billion, which is cut from a previous forecast of $950 million to $1.09 billion, “largely a result of the company’s response to the significant decline in natural gas prices.” Capital spending in FY2013 now is set at $685-860 million.
The rig count in the Marcellus Shale has declined as of late. The number of rigs actively drilling for oil and gas in the Marcellus for the week ending March 23 dropped four rigs from the previous week to 151, according to NGI‘s Shale Daily Unconventional Rig Count. That’s also four rigs fewer than last month, but a 6% increase compared with 143 rigs last year.

In a 24-week long intervention study, researchers recruited 84 obese subjects with type 2 diabetes and randomly divided them into two groups. The first group of 42 received a low-glycemic diet with a 500 calorie/day deficit. The second group ate a very low carbohydrate ketogenic diet with less than 20 grams of carbohydrates per day without calorie restriction.
In the study, the researchers fed mice a ketogenic diet for several days and expected to find a favorable outcome — perhaps weight loss or another indication of improved health. Instead, they found that the liver began resisting insulin almost immediately and the mice were unable to regulate their blood sugar levels after only three days on the diet. (Insulin resistance, meaning that cells in the body don't respond to insulin, is a key characteristic of type 2 diabetes.)
A total of 316 individuals from the TypeOneGrit community were included in the study since they met the three eligibility criteria: having type 1 diabetes, taking insulin, and following the Bernstein low carb diet for at least three months.2 The clinical data were gathered using an online survey and confirmed with data obtained from medical charts and feedback from the patients' doctors; parents provided data for the participating child. The participants came from the United States, Canada, Australia, and Europe, of which 57i% were female, 42% were children (under 18 years), and 88% were Caucasian. 2
Hello, I am hoping someone can reach out to me and explain something. My son who is T1D just started the keto diet 4 days ago. At first we were doing great numbers were good, then out of nowhere we are having highs! He is correcting and it’s not bringing him down into normal range. I am going into a panic, I don’t know what to do, or who to ask for help. His doctor would be no help, and thinks the Standard American Diet is fine. I don’t see eye to eye with him. I hope someone can tell me why this might be happening. Thanks in advance for your time!
On keto, I’ve adjusted my basal rates and I barely need to bolus at all. My blood glucose numbers have definitely improved and what I find really extraordinary is that I’m needing about 60% less total daily insulin, than I did before starting keto. What’s even more fascinating to me is seeing a steady straight line across my pump for 6, 12, and even 24 hours – no crazy spikes or dips in my blood sugar.
“During physiological ketosis ketonemia reaches maximum levels of 7/8 mmol/L with no change in pH while in uncontrolled diabetic ketoacidosis it can exceed 20 mmol/L with a concomitant lowering of blood pH. Blood levels of ketone bodies in healthy people do not exceed 8 mmol/L precisely because the central nervous system (CNS) efficiently uses these molecules for energy in place of glucose,” researchers summarize.
Meat – like grass-fed selections – and fresh veggies are more expensive than most processed or fast foods. What you spend on Keto-friendly foods will vary with your choices of protein source and quality. You can select less-expensive, leaner cuts of meat and fatten them up with some oil. Buying less-exotic, in-season veggies will help keep you within budget.
What to know about diet soda and diabetes Sugary drinks are a known cause of obesity and blood glucose problems, such as diabetes. Diet options are available, but are they good for people with diabetes? Artifical sweeteners may be linked to diabetes development. This MNT Knowledge Center article gives information on diet soda, sweeteners, and alternatives. Read now
– As far as weighing your portions, I would have to say that is something that professional RD is more qualified to advice on. Generally speaking, we eat more of the foods at the bottom of the pyramid, and less of the foods at the very top…and we do so consistently, day after day. So you see, it’s a way of living, not so much a diet. The weight loss is a bonus, but it is not the complete focus of this healthy lifestyle. If you’re after a controlled diet plan, the best thing to do again is to seek professional support.
Slice a 6-inch French baguette roll (3-inch diameter) in half lengthwise. Sprinkle the halves with 1/3 cup 33% reduced-fat shredded mozzarella cheese and bake in toaster oven at 250 degrees for four to six minutes, until cheese is just beginning to melt. Meanwhile, slice two large red tomatoes in 1/2-inch slices. Remove baguette from toaster oven, sprinkle with a little dried basil and dried oregano if desired. Top with tomato slices. For dessert, serve one frozen strawberry milk Popsicle left over from Monday's dinner (8 ounces fat-free milk mixed with 1 tablespoon strawberry drink mix, then frozen). | [

GLAMOUR: What, exactly, did they say you needed treatment for?
AJ: Codependence in my relationships; depression; blaming, raging, numbing, denying and minimizing my feelings. But because my addictions were behavioral, not chemical, I wouldn't have known to seek treatment. At Shades of Hope, my behaviors were treated like addictions. And those behaviors were killing me spiritually, the same as someone who is sitting on a corner with a bottle in a brown paper bag.
GLAMOUR: So what were the first few weeks like?
AJ: We were asked to do an incredible amount of written work —hundreds of pages of self-evaluation, some of which we shared in group therapy. I remember the night I shared my history of depression, like the way I used to use sleep to cope with uncomfortable feelings. When I finished, the counselors and my peers were looking at me with huge eyes. They said, "We're really glad you're here."
GLAMOUR: What is one of the most surprising things you discovered about yourself in the first few weeks?
AJ: Well, I do this thing on airplanes and in hotels that I never thought was a problem, where I wipe down all the plastic surfaces around me. The first time I looked at that in treatment and thought I might have to refrain from wiping, I cried for 25 minutes —sobbed from my toenails. I said, "How can you tell me that's an addiction? I'm not hurting anybody." But it's not about germs —it's about control.
GLAMOUR: Can you give us a sense of where all this pain comes from? What was your childhood like?
AJ: Complete and total chaos. I lived alternately with my mother, father and grandmother and went to 13 schools in 12 years. Everything was in such a state of disarray and dysfunction that I became a hypervigilant child, doing the best I could to raise myself under extraordinarily unpredictable and unsafe circumstances. Now I can look back and say, "Gee, I wasn't just alone a lot —I was really lonely. I was clinically depressed at the age of eight."
GLAMOUR: Why did you think that being "perfect" would make you feel better?
AJ: That's how I got love as a kid. Supposedly my sister was the "messed-up" one and I was the "perfect" one. So I stayed out of trouble, making sure not to be a bother or a burden or to have needs, and that was damaging. A wonderful pastor I know once told me, "Perfectionism is the highest order of self-abuse." So now I try to remind myself that if I engage in perfectionism, I am abusing myself. Period.
GLAMOUR: What is the most profound lesson you learned in treatment?
AJ: That in order to stay healthy, I have to feel all my feelings instead of numbing myself to them —and actually, when I allow myself to do that, they pass more quickly. I spent my entire life telling everyone I was "OK, damn it." But when you surrender to the [uncomfortable] feelings, there are gifts on the other side: Allowing yourself to feel loneliness forces you to reach out. Letting yourself get angry gives you strength, energy and motivation. | [

Hey there! Ever stumbled upon a fruit so controversial it’s actually been made illegal in parts of the U.S.? Meet the gooseberry, a small, tart fruit that has found itself on the wrong side of the law. But why on earth would a seemingly innocent berry be banned? Grab a cup of coffee, and let’s unravel this juicy tale.
A Berry Good History
Gooseberries, along with their close relatives, currants, have a rich history that dates back centuries. They’re beloved in pies, jams, and wines. However, their journey in the United States has been anything but smooth. The root of the issue? A disease called white pine blister rust.
The Enemy: White Pine Blister Rust
White pine blister rust is a fungal disease that poses a significant threat to white pine trees, a valuable timber resource. Here’s where gooseberries come into play: they can act as a host for this fungus, facilitating its spread among white pines. In the early 20th century, with the white pine timber industry at risk, the U.S. government took drastic measures by banning the cultivation and sale of gooseberries and currants in several states.
The Ban and Its Impact
The ban on gooseberries wasn’t nationwide but rather enforced in specific states, especially those with significant white pine populations. This legislation led to the disappearance of gooseberries from many American gardens and farms, turning them into a sort of forbidden fruit.
A Berry Controversial Law
So, why is there a controversy? Well, the ban has been questioned for several reasons:
- Modern Resistance Strains: Advances in agriculture have led to the development of gooseberry and currant strains resistant to white pine blister rust, reducing the risk of the disease spreading.
- Economic and Culinary Loss: Critics argue that the ban has unnecessarily restricted the growth of a potentially lucrative berry market and limited culinary diversity.
- Environmental Considerations: Some studies suggest that the role of gooseberries and currants in the spread of white pine blister rust may be overstated, pointing to the need for a reevaluation of the ban.
Where Do We Stand Today?
Over the years, restrictions have been lifted or relaxed in several states, thanks to lobbying by farmers, gardeners, and fruit enthusiasts. The movement to legalize gooseberries and currants has gained momentum, with research and regulations evolving to reflect a better understanding of white pine blister rust and its actual threats.
Before You Plant
If you’re thinking about adding gooseberries to your garden, here’s what you need to know:
- Check Local Laws: Regulations vary by state and even by county, so it’s essential to verify the legal status of gooseberries in your area.
- Opt for Resistant Varieties: Choose cultivars that are resistant to white pine blister rust to mitigate any potential legal and environmental issues.
- Be a Responsible Gardener: Stay informed about how to prevent the spread of diseases to protect local ecosystems.
Wrapping It Up
The saga of the gooseberry ban is a fascinating chapter in American agricultural and environmental law. It highlights the complex balance between preserving economic interests, protecting natural resources, and fostering biodiversity. As laws continue to adapt and new research comes to light, perhaps the gooseberry will once again find its place in the sun, both legally and in American cuisine. | [

This school year is seriously kicking my butt. I love that LJ has so many interests and has signed up for a wide variety of activities, but I am constantly in a state of anxiety worrying that I forgot to get him tot he right place at the right time and getting a fresh and delicious dinner on the table is becoming a bit of a challenge on several nights each week.
Not to mention that these activities seem to all fall on the same days – Tuesday seems to have taken the brunt of it lately. We have exactly 45 minutes between when I pick LJ up from DI practice (an after-school academic club) and when he needs to be on the basketball court for that practice. Since sitting down for a family dinner is a priority, I’ve been trying to get a little creative with meals. I’ve pretty much exhausted my small stash of crock-pot recipes and honestly, LJ is not a fan of many of them. (Can we say super picky eater???)
Recently, we were invited by Papa Murphy’s and Mom Select to try one of Papa Murphy’s new pan pizzas. If you are not familiar with Papa Murphy’s, they have a Take ‘n’ Bake style menu where you design your pizza (or try one of their yummy signature creations) in the store, they put it together for you, and you take it home to bake and eat. I have to confess that we have been a huge fan of Papa Murphy’s ever since they opened in a neighboring town, but this was our first pan pizza. Why are we such big Papa Murphy fans?
1) The pizza is made fresh – right in front of you. I have found that the more involved LJ is in the creation of his meals, the more likely he is to eat it. He loved watching the Papa Murphy’s folks build our pizza piece by piece and I loved seeing how fresh all the ingredients were as they went on our pie!
2) We get to eat at home and so we save on all those little extras that add up quickly – beverages, dessert, etc. How many times have you gone out to eat and then been shocked at home your spent beyond the main entrees? Eating out can be a budget buster and we love that we know how much the bill will be before even walking into Papa Murphy’s.
3) The pizza a hot and fresh when it hits our table. Yes, you can absolutely take any restaurant meal to go to try and achieve the savings I talked about in #2, but it doesn’t feel like much of a bargain if the food is cold and/or soggy when you sit down to eat it. We don’t exactly live out in the sticks, but I am always disappointed by how much the food has cooled by the time we get home to eat it. Since you are baking Papa Murphy’s pizza right in your own oven, it is hot and delicious when you put it on your table.
4) I can fit it into my schedule. If I only have 45 minutes between activities, I can’t order food from any place that might be running late. I love that I can pick up a Papa Murphy’s pizza at my convenience, pop it in the fridge, and then cook it when I am ready. Can we say convenient???
And the biggest reason why I love serving Papa Murphy’s pizza???
5) Everyone in the family loves it!! Even picky eater LJ loves Papa Murphy’s pizza. Like I mentioned, we have always been fans, but the new pan pizza is particularly delicious. The crust bakes up just the right combination of chewy on the inside and crisp on the outside and even though the size we bought said it fed 2 – 3 people, we all ate until we were full and had leftovers.
Thanks to Papa Murphy’s and Mom Select for providing us a delicious pizza to review and enjoy. You also helped us create a delicious, relaxing family dinner during a hectic, activity-filled day, and you just can’t put a price on that! | [

Association between serum 25-hydroxy Vitamin D and bilirubin levels in term neonates with hyperbilirubinemia: A cross-sectional, observational study

Introduction: Neonatal jaundice is a common cause of hospital admission among neonates in the 1st week of life. The condition results from an imbalance between oxidative stress and antioxidant mechanisms. Considering the fact that the metabolism of both bilirubin and 25-hydroxy Vitamin D occurs in the liver and 25-hydroxy Vitamin D being a potent antioxidant, we hypothesized that there exists an association between 25-hydroxy Vitamin D and serum bilirubin levels. Methods: A total of 174 neonates were enrolled in the study and were further subclassified into 4 groups: Group A (no clinical jaundice), Group B (clinical jaundice with the value of serum bilirubin <10 mg/dl), Group C (clinical jaundice with the value of serum bilirubin >10 mg/dl but not in phototherapy range), and Group D (clinical jaundice with serum bilirubin value requiring initiation of phototherapy). 25-hydroxy Vitamin D and serum bilirubin levels along with parathyroid hormone, calcium, phosphorus, and alkaline phosphatase levels were estimated. Results: The mean 25-hydroxy Vitamin D levels were highest in Group A and lowest in Group D (21.92 ± 20.85 vs. 14.38 ± 8.52, P = 0.020) and vice versa for serum bilirubin levels (15.08 ± 0.93 vs. 4.28 ± 0.97, P < 0.001). There was a nonsignificant negative correlation between serum 25-hydroxy Vitamin D and bilirubin levels (correlation coefficient: −0.113 [−0.257–0.0364], P = 0.138). Conclusion: The present study suggests a lack of association between serum 25-hydroxy Vitamin D and bilirubin levels. However, the results need to be confirmed by further prospective studies to conclude that 25-hydroxy Vitamin D has no role in the pathogenesis of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia.

| Introduction|| |
Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia is a common problem that affects approximately 60%–80% of neonates. This entity is largely physiological during the 1st week of life, but in approximately 5%–10% of neonates, it may become pathological requiring intervention. Although, the outcome of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia in the majority of cases is benign, but left untreated particularly in cases with severe hyperbilirubinemia (defined as values exceeding 20 mg/dl) can lead to chronic neurological disability (kernicterus).
Approximately three-fourth of bilirubin present in the blood is derived from the hemolysis of senescent RBCs in the reticuloendothelial system., However, this contribution may particularly increase if the RBCs are subjected to oxidative stress as neonatal RBCs are very sensitive to oxidative damage compared to adults. This is largely due to the fact that the major components of the antioxidant defense system in neonatal red blood cells (RBCs) include reduced glutathione, and NADH-dependent methemoglobin reductase, the levels of both of which are reduced in neonatal as compared to the adult RBCs.,,,

Here are my pages in the sketchbook. I was testing greens today. Eventually I decided to use Phthalo Blue + Quinacridone Gold as my base green. It makes wonderful sap green color. I also added Perylene Green to that mix and sometimes Translucent Orange to neutralize that green and make it more olive.
And now here's another tip. Accidentally I discovered a perfect black color today. I wanted to neutralize a little bit Perylene Green and I added Pyrrol Crimson to it. I ended up with just perfect black. I know Perylene Green itself is a black pigment (PBk31), but we know it's very dark green. With Pyrrol Crimson (PR264) it makes complete black.
One element finished. | [

1In 2006 the City of Delhi in northern India, erupted into chaos, as a host of public protests and demonstrations pushed the city to a standstill, closing down schools, public transport and causing a stand-off between the protesting traders1, the police and eventually the army. The protests had been sparked by a Public Interest Litigation case, called the Sealings Case,2 over illegal land use and construction in the city. As a consequence, the Supreme Court of India (SCI) insisted on closing down over 40 000 commercial activities that contravened Delhi’s masterplan. The case had been brought to court by a coalition of middle class Resident Welfare Associations who were attempting to defend their neighbourhoods against what they saw as informalisation and a degrading form of urbanism, which went against the aesthetic values that they were attempting to enforce. Their turn to litigation was informed by a long and sympathetic history of convergence between the courts and the middle classes in India (Dembowski, 2001; Ramanathan and Dupont, 2004; Ramanathan, 2005 and 2006; Dupont, 2008) and what was a shared hegemonic project and vision of Delhi.

2At almost the same time, half a world away in Johannesburg South Africa, a group of 400 poor residents living in the dilapidated San Jose building in the inner city fought an eviction from the City of Johannesburg3. The eviction was part of the local government’s attempt to regenerate the old Johannesburg Central Business District and its surrounds. The regeneration projects were applied across a range of accommodation that were described as “bad buildings” and which generally had no access to services i.e. water and electricity. Residents from these buildings were evicted in order to allow for private sector refurbishment and on-sale of the buildings. The San Jose residents, having exhausted the possibilities of engagement, with political representation and local and provincial bureaucrats, took up the cudgels of litigation against the City of Johannesburg to oppose their eviction. With the assistance of a legal aid organisation, the Centre for Applied Legal Studies, the case eventually landed up in the Constitutional Court of South Africa. Here the Constitutional Court insisted that the parties to the case engage with each other and come to a resolution which they would then make into a court decision. The negotiation ultimately resulted in the supply of interim services to the building and temporary housing in another state-old building, with highly subsidised rental.
3The article builds on earlier work completed on law and geography or law and society literature and similar to Datta (2012) and others (Hunt, 1990; Litowitz, 2000) argues for a nuanced approach to understanding the relationship between rights, claims, litigation and citizenship. I argue that the courts are able to provide sites of liberation and channels of access to claims and citizenship, however, unlike Chatterjee (2004 and 2011), Bourdieu (1987) or Gramsci (1996) do not agree that the court becomes only useable for those inhabiting “civil” society or solely as a space for elite interests and thus specifically as an apparatus of the dominant hegemonic group. Rather I argue that the courts’ larger projects i.e. how it sees itself, its role in the larger society and its spatial vision of the city, which is an expression of its discourse, determines who has access to the court, how courts will make their judgements and thus who will be treated differently to the norm. All of which is linked to larger political processes that are at work. In doing so, courts provide for exceptional treatment of the litigants that they find for. By which I mean, treatment that in some way contradicts the norm, is unusual, different or a departure from how others in the same situation are treated by the state or within the political realm. In point of fact, the entire purpose behind litigation in many cities in the global south is to protest against the existing regimen of exclusion, maltreatment or “invisibility”, and to access exceptional treatment.
4Largely within the field of rights, judicial studies and urban citizenship, there have been some common threads. Bourdieu, Gramsci and Chatterjee have each in their own way articulated a relationship between the elite and the court/judiciary. Bourdieu conceptualised the legal world as one of the many “fields” constituting social life, his sociology of law sought to uncover the various mechanisms by which law maintains its privileged position and how, in doing so “law consecrates the established order by consecrating the vision of that order which is held by the state” (Bourd | [

A series of four regional fora on the prevention of genocide took place in Argentina (2008), Tanzania (2010), Switzerland (2011) and Cambodia (2013) after which a High-Level Working Meeting on the Prevention of Atrocities was conducted in Dar es Salaam in March 2013, co-organized by the Tanzanian Ministry for Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation and the Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs.
The participants included representatives of six states – three engaged in the Prevention of Genocide network (Argentina, Switzerland, and Tanzania) and three serving as co-facilitators of the National Focal Point Initiative for the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) (Australia, Costa Rica, and Denmark). Additionally, representatives participated from the UN Office of the Special Adviser on the Prevention of Genocide (OSAPG), regional organizations, non-governmental organizations and experts in the field of genocide prevention (GP) and R2P. The Working Meeting sought to identify: commonalities between the two communities – GP and R2P; gaps at national and regional levels to preventing mass atrocities and mechanisms to overcome these gaps; and finally, key elements for the development of national architectures and programmes for the prevention of mass atrocity crimes.
The participants at the Working Meeting noted the growing interdependence between the national, regional and international levels. They stressed the need for a greater legitimacy and credibility in strategies and policies for the prevention of atrocities and the protection of civilians. Participants agreed that in order to strengthen atrocity prevention at the national level it was necessary to:
- ensure effective national architectures for the prevention of mass atrocity crimes
- appoint national focal points
- strengthen synergies between the two communities for joint efforts on the prevention of mass atrocity crimes
- engage with other states as well as non-governmental organizations (NGOs) on the prevention of mass atrocities at the national, regional, and international level
The participants identified a number of tasks that could be undertaken by this group of concerned states and NGOs to jointly strengthen atrocity prevention. They agreed that there was a need to:
- develop a common working language
- develop education efforts and awareness-raising
- convene a larger and more diverse constituency
- multiply outreach efforts (international public events)
- ensure tangible results in the field at the national level
- engage in joint training and policy development
- ensure sustainability for these efforts (knowledge, resources, structure)
The participants agreed that building national prevention efforts is essential in order to strengthen global efforts in the prevention of mass atrocities. They also agreed that it is necessary to build momentum at the global level for such developments.
To accomplish this, participants saw the need for states to strengthen their efforts through the creation of a “Community of Commitment” that would enable the existing networks engaged at the regional and global levels to exchange information, experiences, problems and challenges, and share practical actions and solutions for preventing atrocities at the national level.
The participants decided to create “Global Action Against Mass Atrocity Crimes” (GAAMAC).
GAAMAC is a state-led initiative to prevent mass atrocity crimes (war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide, and ethnic cleansing)
GAAMAC focuses on prevention at the national and regional level.
GAAMAC supports states engaged in preventing mass atrocity crimes and it assists states that are considering developing preventive strategies.
GAAMAC serves as a platform for exchange and dissemination of learning and good practices.
Since its founding, GAAMAC has formed a Steering Group, drafted a Founding Document, held two global meetings -- GAAMAC I in Costa Rica 2014 and GAAMAC II in Manila 2016 -- and is working toward expanding its outreach to states and civil society groups working on atrocity prevention. | [

1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data A hang gilder runs off a cliff, with a speed of 3 m/s. What is its overall velocity after 5 seconds? Some constants like gravity are rounded because this is an MCAT problem. 2. Relevant equations v=v(initial) + at a^2 + b^2 = c^2 3. The attempt at a solution vertical velocity: v=v(initial) + at 0=v(initial) + at v(initial) = -at = (-10 m/s)(5s) What i find strange is that in the solution manuel for this problem, 0.5 seconds is used for time, giving the overall vertical velocity -5 m/s. Then you find the overall velocity with pythagorean's theorum, but what is strange is instead of using 3 m/s for the horizontal velocity, 9 m/s is used instead! : v= (9^2 + -5^2)^(1/2) Making it just a tad over 10. Why is 0.5 seconds used instead of 5 seconds? And why is 9 used instead of 3?? Thank you! | [

This paper describes an interactive system-COLUMBUS-for the development of well-structured programs in assembly language, Cobol, and PL/I. One of the basic concepts employed is the use of Nassi/Shneiderman charts as the unique reference document. For specifying the control structures of a program, the programmer uses a set of control primitives which are common for all languages used. Data declarations and executable statements are taken from the individual language. This mixture is called the COLUMBUS source form. From this source form Nassi/Shneiderman diagrams and cross-reference matrices can be produced in a language-independent fashion; pure source for the individual languages is produced by a set of preprocessors in a language-dependent fashion. This paper illustrates the mechanisms involved by giving some small examples for the individual languages, and it also gives a brief history of the project and reports on quantitative and qualitative results obtained so far. The plans for future extensions are also explained. | [

FAQ About Midjourney
What is Midjourney?
Midjourney is an artificial intelligence program that uses natural language processing and computer vision to generate images from textual descriptions. It is a deep learning model that is trained on large datasets of images and text to learn the relationships between them, and then uses that knowledge to create new images from written descriptions. The program was developed by a team of researchers at the Allen Institute for AI (AI2) and was released in 2021. MidJourney is designed to assist users in generating realistic images for a variety of applications, including video game development, marketing, and academic research.
How does Midjourney work?
Midjourney works by using a deep learning model that combines natural language processing and computer vision to generate images from textual descriptions. The process can be broken down into several steps:
- The user provides a textual description of an image they want to generate.
- The text is preprocessed and encoded into a numerical representation that can be input into the deep learning model.
- The model then generates a set of features based on the input text that are used to guide the image generation process.
- The generated features are then combined with noise vectors to produce an initial image.
- The initial image is passed through several layers of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) that refine the image and generate more detail.
- The refined image is outputted as the final generated image.
The deep learning model used by Midjourney is trained on a large dataset of images and text, which allows it to learn the complex relationships between them and generate realistic images from textual descriptions. The model also includes several techniques to prevent mode collapse, overfitting, and other issues commonly found in deep learning models.
What kind of images can Midjourney generate?
Midjourney is capable of generating a wide range of images, including but not limited to:
- Abstract art
- Fantasy creatures
The types of images that Midjourney can generate are largely dependent on the input textual description. As long as the description is detailed enough and contains enough information for the model to work with, Midjourney can generate a corresponding image. However, it is important to note that Midjourney is not perfect and there may be some limitations to the types of images it can generate.
What kind of images can Midjourney generate?
Midjourney is an artificial intelligence program that can generate a wide range of images from textual descriptions. The program is capable of generating realistic and detailed images of various objects, scenes, and concepts. Some examples of the types of images that Midjourney can generate include:
- Natural landscapes, such as mountains, forests, and beaches
- Animals, such as dogs, cats, birds, and wildlife
- People, including portraits, groups, and action shots
- Everyday objects, such as furniture, appliances, and tools
- Buildings, including houses, skyscrapers, and landmarks
- Abstract art and patterns
- Scenery, such as sunsets, cityscapes, and seascapes
- Fantasy creatures, such as dragons, unicorns, and mythical beasts
- Vehicles, such as cars, airplanes, and boats
- Food, including desserts, fruits, and dishes
The types of images that Midjourney can generate are largely dependent on the input textual description. As long as the description is detailed enough and contains enough information for the model to work with, Midjourney can generate a corresponding image.
Can Midjourney create realistic images?
Yes, Midjourney is capable of creating realistic images from textual descriptions. The program uses advanced machine learning techniques, including deep learning and computer vision, to generate images that are visually detailed and realistic.
However, it is important to note that the realism of the generated images is dependent on the quality of the input textual description. If the description is vague or incomplete, the generated image may not be as realistic as desired. Additionally, like any AI model, MidJourney has limitations and can sometimes generate images that may appear unrealistic or contain errors.
Overall, while Midjourney can generate highly realistic images, the quality of the output is ultimately dependent on various factors, including the quality of the input description, the complexity of the image being generated, and the limitations of the model itself.
What programming language is Midjourney built with?
Midjourney is built using various programming languages, libraries, and frameworks. The core of the program is implemented using Python, a popular language for machine learning and artificial intelligence development.
In addition to Python, Midjourney uses several deep learning libraries, including TensorFlow and PyTorch, which provide the necessary tools for building and training deep neural networks. These libraries allow Midjourney to take advantage of the latest research in deep learning and computer vision, and use advanced techniques such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and recurrent neural networks (RNNs) to generate | [
