Medical Sick Notes - COVID 19
For detailed guidance and information regarding medical certification and sick pay visit: COVID-19: guidance for employees
Due to the current pandemic and pressure on General Practice, we are prioritising the urgent medical needs of our patients and will not be providing a medical certificate for this absence.
Taking time off when ill
By law, medical evidence is not required for the first 7 days of sickness (that is, employees can self-certify). After 7 days, it is for your employer to determine what evidence they require, if any, from the employee.
To make it easier to provide evidence to your employer if you are unwell and need to stay at home, there is an alternative form (see below) of evidence which you can now download, print and provide to your employer should you fall ill and have to take time off due to the corona virus. | [

Process for Reducing the Restart Pressure of Streams
A process for reducing the restart pressure of streams selected from waxy crude oils, water-in-crude emulsions and dispersions of hydrocarbon hydrates, at least partially structured. A mechanic disturbance is applied, in flow-stop conditions, on the streams, having: temperatures lower than the WAT (Wax Appearance Temperature) for the waxy crude oils and water-in-crude emulsions; temperatures lower than the forming temperatures of the hydrates and pressures higher than the forming pressure of the hydrates, for the dispersions of hydrocarbon hydrates.

- System for cableless bidirectional data transmission in a well for the extraction of formation fluids
- Non-aqueous redox flow batteries
- Valve assembly and control method for extraction wells under emergency conditions
- SYSTEM AND METHOD OF REMOTE MONITORING OF THE INTEGRITY OF PRESSURISED PIPES BY MEANS OF VIBROACOUSTIC SOURCES
The present invention relates to a process for reducing the restart pressure of streams selected from waxy crude oils, water-in-crude emulsions and dispersions of hydrocarbon hydrates, at least partially structured.
One of the aspects to be carefully taken into consideration during the development of an oil production plant, is to ensure a continuous and stationary flow of crude oil inside the ducts. Operation stops can occur for several reasons, from simple maintenance to unexpected situations (for example due to a pig block, or a breakdown in a plant for the treatment of crude oil). During the engineering stage, it is therefore necessary to carefully analyse all possible problems which can arise at the restart of production, above all for offshore pipe-lines (underwater pipes) which, due to their locations, are more difficult to have access to and are characterized by low temperature conditions (0-10° C.).
Structured system means a physical system having a high coordination between its units (molecules or aggregates of soluble or non-soluble molecules, also very extensive) produced by chemical and/or physical bonds. The coordination level depends on the number and strength of the bonds between the structural units. This situation generates an organization that resembles a network including the whole volume occupied by the system (for example a three-dimensional network of regular or amorphous crystals, of a gel, etc.).
The structural level of a substance can be expressed in terms of “yield stress”, defined as the minimum stress (power per surface unit) to be applied to the substance so that this shows a permanent deformation and begins to flow. The “yield stress” is consequently a parameter strongly correlated with the stress (pressure difference at the ends of the pipe) to be applied to allow a stream to pass from a state of stillness to one of motion. The “yield stress” of a substance can be measured experimentally, for example by means of rotational rheometers. Other rheological parameters which allow the structural level of a substance to be quantified are the tensile modulus (G′) and the dissipative modulus (G″). These material parameters are obtained through rheological measurements, effected in a low amplitude oscillatory system. These measurements consist in applying a sinusoidal deformation of variable (and/or constant) frequency and a sufficiently low amplitude as to not disturb the system (“An introduction to Rheology” H. A. Barnes, J. F. Hutton and K. Walters, Elsevier Science Publishers B. V., 1989). The response of the system to the stress will be a sinusoidal signal, out-of-phase with respect to that applied. From measuring the response signal intensity and from the entity of the phase displacement, it is possible to calculate two rheological parameters G′ and G″ which represent the elastic component (solid-type behaviour) and dissipative (liquid behaviour) of the system, respectively. In particular, the tensile modulus represents a parameter which quantitatively expresses (together with the viscosity and the “yield stress”) the structuring degree of the stream considered (“Applied Fluid Rheology”, J. Ferguson, Z. Kemblowski, Elsevier Science Publisher LTD, 1991).
As is well known from literature (A. Uhde, G. Kopp, “Pipeline problems resulting from the handling of waxy crudes”, Journal of the Institute of Petroleum, vol. 57, number 554, 1971; C. Chang, D. V. Boger and Q. D. Nguyen, “Influence of thermal history on the waxy structure of statically cooled waxy crude oil”, SPE Journal 5 (2) June 2000; C. Chang, D. V.

Komodo National Park was declared a World Natural Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1991. The National Park includes the three larger islands of Komodo, Rinca and Padar, as well as numerous smaller islands.
The dive spots around Komodo offer unbelievable variety. One day you can admire rare critters creatures in the morning and in the afternoon drift along with giant mantas and schools of big-eye jacks. There are patch reefs, bommies (pinnacles), sheer walls, and shallow coral gardens to be explored. There are more than 1000 fish species, 260 species of corals, 70 different sponge species, 17 species of whales and dolphins and at least 2 different kinds of sea turtles living in the waters of Komodo National Park.
Pindito never has a set itinerary. We plan our trips and water activities based on weather, tides and currents. From our expertise and experience, we know the ideal sea conditions for all the best and famous sites and when to dive them. And of course we have the not so famous, and even secret, equally spectacular sites that only a few of us know about.

Students Failing To Learn Basic Math Skills
September 5, 2002
Just this week, the Brookings Institution released a report saying weakening math skills have been observed nationally on federal tests.
The decline has coincided with a 1989 recommendation by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics that schools should move more quickly to advanced problem-solving skills used in geometry and algebra -- rather than spending too much time on basic arithmetic.
Although students' problem-solving skills seem to be improving, their understanding of basic math appears to have suffered.
- Scores on a national test that emphasizes mental computation are either flat or declining.
- Some scores dropped sharply, including 17-year-olds' ability to handle fractions.
- In Iowa, students' scores on both problem-solving and arithmetic had been rising through the 1980s -- but by 1992, scores on arithmetic began declining.
Most disturbing are the drops among eighth grade students preparing to learn algebra and geometry.
It has been suggested that students be denied use of their calculators for solving simple math problems.
Of greater importance, perhaps, is development of an early-warning system to detect a fall-off in math proficiency, some educators suggest.

With all of the new developments in technology, online stock trading is becoming even more popular by the day.
The first step if you want toget into online stock trading is to understand the basics of how the process of stock investing works. Of course online stock trading is not for everyone. It’s easy to see why online stock trading is rapidly becoming the most efficient way for stock investing or online trading. For most people online stocktrading is a faceless and lonely experience. The difference with online stock trading is that you no longer call into your broker to place your trade or for information.
If you’re a timid person, a poor or slow decision maker, or if you are unsure or lack confidence in yourself, then stock trading is probably not for you, either online or offline. Hence, online stock trading is definitely a worthwhile, profitable and very valid business model.
Automated Stock Traiding
There is a new way of traiding on the market, and it’s called “Automated Stock Trading”, which is the process of fully automating the trading in stocks and shares. Simply put, “Automated Stock Trading” is software that allows “you” to robotically monitor the market second-by-second for all your buy/sell and profit management conditions.

By Jel Santos
A convicted robber, and a minor on Wednesday, were apprehended for allegedly killing an Ateneo De Manila University (ADMU) student in Marikina City.
Chief Supt. Guillermo Eleazar, National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) director, identified the suspect as Jayvee “Diablo” Santos, 24. The other suspect was a 16-year-old boy.
This came after a member of the robbery group came out and spilled the beans about what happened to 24-year-old Francis De Leon.
On December 1, De Leon was found lifeless with several stab wounds while lying on the ground along J. Molina corner Blue Bird Sts. in Barangay Concepcion, Marikina City around 12:40 a.m.
The witness, who was presented to the media, said that he was about to be part of the robbery, but he did not join that night because he was frightened by a roving police car.
“Hindi po ako nakasama nung gabing ‘yun— sa Concepcion. Naharang po kasi ako ng [police ] mobile (I did not join them that night— in Concepcion. I saw a police mobile that was why I did not continue),” the witness wearing face mask and black cap told reporters.
He said that Santos offered him the Samsung phone, who police believe, was of De Leon. But he declined to buy it.
The allegations were strongly denied by Santos, saying he has witnesses that are willing to attest before the court that he was in Barangay Sta. Barbara in San Mateo. He said he was hiding there as he was wanted for robbery again.
“Maybe it was them who robbed and killed De Leon, not us. I have an alibi,” Santos said.
Santos was arrested at a checkpoint with a gun while he was aboard a motorcycle in Barangay Apitong, Marikina.
Then, in a separate operation, police nabbed the minor at his house in Barangay Tumana hours after. He is now under the custody of Marikina Social Welfare Department.
“After he was arrested, Santos admitted the crime. He was just denying now because he is in front of the media,” Eleazar said.
Santos, he said, was pointed as the leader of the robbery group.
The main suspect also confessed that he just got out of prison after serving his prison term. “I am out of prison for about four months.”
Mayor Marcelino Teodoro, who recently offered a P500, 000 bounty, said he will immediately give the reward to the witness who shed light to the unfortunate incident.
“Justice is the best thing we could give the family of Mr. De Leon,” he said.
The mayor is also eyeing to institutionalize the reward system, saying such is because of the fast identification of the suspects.
Police said that they are now hunting down the other members of the robbery group. | [

The term machine vision can imply a computer having a set of eyes for an inspection. To develop a complete solution for machine vision applications, vision engineers execute a series of tasks that usually fall into five categories: plan, design, build, integrate, and validate.
For many vision engineers, the first step to any solution is to establish the requirements for each inspection and to determine if it is possible. Several factors need to be considered, such as:
- What is being inspected
- Number of inspections required
- Speed of inspections
- Restrictions from mechanical design
- Performance requirements
- Time and costs
The planning phase flows into the design phase for verification purposes. To ensure the requirements are attainable, prototyping is done. If the vision engineer believes the inspection is achievable, prototyping may not be required. However, verification is always beneficial as changes made later into the solution will affect time and costs.
Based on the inspection requirements, an initial vision design is created and tested for each vision application. There can be several vision stations, all with different optical setups. When designing a vision station, there are several factors that need to be considered for each camera, lens, and light.
- Camera Specifications
- Number of Cameras
- Type of Camera
- Monochrome or Color
- Frame rates
- Communication Protocol
- Exposure/Shutter Speed
- Lens Specifications
- Type of lens
- Focal Length
- Working distance
- Field of view
- Light Specifications
- Number of lights
- Type of light
- Distance from part
Once some factors are determined, a vision design prototype is set up to capture images of a sample part. Key features must be detected by the software by having the right amount of contrast in the image. This process involves adjusting the optical equipment.
An image consists of an array of pixels which is usually defined by a resolution. Machine vision software uses these pixels, as well as predetermined algorithms to define certain features of a part from the image. It follows the same concept as facial recognition software. This software searches the image for certain pixel arrangements to identify features of a face. For example, eyes will have darker pixels around the edges as well as dark pixels in the center of eyes. The software uses the algorithms to analyze features, and recognize a face. Similarly, machine vision software follows the same concept. These algorithms are developed by vision engineers using machine vision software.
There may be certain mechanical restrictions as well that would require additional optical equipment such as mirrors. There can also be mechanical restrictions that require change in design. For example, the working distance may need to be between 300mm and 320mm because of some tooling within the automation that surrounds the optics. There is a chance the lens would need to be changed, along with addition of extension tubes.
If the image does not meet the requirements, troubleshoot. Change various parameters to allow for a more suitable image. The lighting may need to be changed or a polarizer may need to be added. Prototyping allows vision engineers to verify vision designs as well as create them.
A regular machine vision camera usually requires a vision controller. If a smart camera is being used, an external vision controller is not required. A vision controller is a dedicated unit for performing communications with the optical equipment, such as cameras and lights. The vision controller should have the capabilities of meeting inspection requirements. This means it must be able to handle communicating with the equipment being used for the inspection as well as other I/O protocols required.
During this stage, it should be clear whether the requirement of the vision inspection is attainable or not. The software should be able to detect the required features needed to process the inspection. To verify the software is able to detect edges, use a few tools that will be used during the inspection (i.e. edge locate tools) to ensure the software can detect certain edges. Attempting to alter the design past this point may increase costs of the solution. Ensure confidence with the vision design at this stage.
Machine vision software can have various tools that help analyze features in parts. The first thing to do before building the code is to use a sample image to plan out how the code will be built. This will also depend on which machine vision software is going to be used. Using the setup already designed, grab several images of good and bad parts to use during this phase.
Different software can have different toolsets. Certain software may not have the capability to keep up with cycle time of the automation. If an inspection requires a quick cycle time, the full inspection must be completed within that time. It all comes back to the requirements for the inspection to decide which software to use.
Depending on the requirements of the inspection, there are several factors to consider when building the code. Some examples include:
- Do multiple images need to be captured by each camera of each part?
- What are the features that need to be inspected?
- How frequent will the | [

In an article on museums as security space in
the art magazine De
Witte Raaf, the architect Wim Cuyvers (google him and his ‘transgressive architecture’) gave a series of definitions of public space that merit to be considered apart
from their context and deserve to be translated, as they give a very unusual
but inspiring content to concept of ‘public space’.
1. Public space is the opposite of private
space, it is the opposite of privatized space.
2. He who privatizes space has acquired this
space, he bought it or has inherited it, he confiscated or occupied it. He is
protected by laws, habits and power.
3. He who privatizes space, has power.
4. He who privatizes space, exercises control
5. The powerless needs public space.
6. Public space is uncontrolled space.
7. Public space is the space of powerlessness.
8. Public space is economically insignificant,
9. The perfect public space would be this space
where everyone could do anything at any time.
10. So, public space is a Platonic notion: one
hundredth percent public space seems unthinkable.
11. The street is far less public than one
would think at first sight: the street separates various flows of traffic, it
avoids conflict between these various flows of traffic: you need to have a car
to be allowed on one part of the street, or a bike to be allowed on another
part of the street.
12. Likewise, the square is public space only
in limited terms, the pub owner or shopkeeper appropriates this space, installs
his terrace or his goods and carefully sweeps the garbage away.
13. Leisure kills public space.
14. One can recognize public space by garbage littering
it: in society unequivocally focused on profit, the places littered by garbage
are ignored places.
15. Public space is the space of loss, not the
space of profit.
16. In public space garbage is blown against a
vertical structure, a sidewalk, a long wall of an industrial building, a
railway verge, a natural rift: the garbage or those considered garbage by
17. Public space is the space of squander (of
energy), not the space of frugal saving.
18. Public space is, by definition, located
near privatized space; a remote forest is no public space.
19. The moment of social transgression is this
moment when one gets in touch with oneself and the world.
20. Real transgression happens outside of
monitored private space: the child looking to light a small fire, the first
sexual encounters, drugs,…
21. Public space is the space of transgressing the
22. Public space is the space of being.
23. Public space is the space of non-possessing.
24. Public space is existential space.
25. Public space is the space of need (the
compulsion of having to transgress the societal norm).
26. Public space is the space where those in
27. Public space is the space where those in
need meet each other.
28. Those in need leave their traces in public
space (garbage from garbage), such as their bodily fluids: tears, urine, blood,
sperm. There is no one to sweep it away, the space belongs to no one, nobody
feels responsible for it, no one has appropriated it.
29. People of different ages, race or culture,
people with very different needs, all seem in search for the same public space.
Those who are, in various ways, in need seem to read space in a virtually
identical way: the child and the aged, the drug addict and the person looking
for impermissible sexual encounters…, all make use of public space in the same
manner: right beside a parking lot near a bustling road, just behind a screen
made of bushes. Those in need, who give in to their need, who accept it, read
the place, read the space in the same way.
30. He who accepts his very own need will see
public space, will read it and understand it. He reads this space as did the
other destitute person, who, before him, has seen and identified the space as
31. We all need transgression, we need the
space for the transgression, we need public space; we are all in need and
32. When a writer writes a book, the reader reads
a different book and a next reader will read something else. It seems we can
read space univocally, without disruption or interference, when we accept our
need (instead of power and knowledge, overview and comprehension).

A robot highway is a roadway or tunnel built for automated freight and deliveries. One of the obstacles in closing and repurposing highways with sustainable infrastructure such as high-speed rail, cycle highways and superblocks is that roads are also used for shipping, deliveries and emergency services. Robot highways can potentially fullfill the shipping and delivery needs of a city in a fraction of the space with zero emissions and little noise pollution.
ScaleRobot vehicles need not be at human scale and could be just big enough to carry a single package. Most packages for home delivery are less than 1 meter, or 3.2 feet, wide. A robot highway built to this size could potentially service most deliveries to homes and small businesses.Being separated from people, robots highways could be high speed and ultra efficient using algorithms to optimize roadway use.
Last MileA robot highway could be designed to have a thick trunk that goes through the heart of a city. Smaller roadways could bring deliveries within the last mile of the entire city. In order to reduce land usage, robots could use existing roads or pedestrian walkways for the last mile. Robots traveling in pedestrian areas could travel slowly and be designed to be polite to humans.
|Definition||A roadway or tunnel built for automated freight and deliveries.|
|Alternatives ||City-wide conveyor belts or other forms of non-robotic automation.|
|Value||Potential to use far less space than current road infrastructure.Regular roads can be reclaimed to build features such as high speed rail, greenways and cycle highways.Efficient and inexpensive delivery may represent a revolution for industries such as ecommerce.Small robots that are just large enough to carry a single package may be an energy efficient alternative to delivery trucks that may weight thousands of kilograms.Ground robots confined to highways may be quiet and energy efficient as compared to alternatives such as drone delivery.|
|Notes||A city that has completely converted to public transportation may retain wide walkways that can be used by emergency services. Such throughways might also be booked for transporting large items such as construction equipment, house moving and commercial equipment.|

A youngster filmed himself lying inside a duvet cover with a hole cut in the middle while a fan blasts cool air inside.
While everyone outside of the boy’s creative cooling contraption is suffering in the heat, he is casually reading from an iPad in complete comfort.
The youngster’s video, which was filmed in Shanghai, China, comes at the perfect time for Brits who are set to be hit by more hot weather this week.
Britain is set to get even hotter this week and forecasters have predicted the scorching weather will produce the hottest day of the year.
This boy in Shanghai sat inside a duvet cover and blasted cold air from a fan inside to cool down
Warm air from the south is bringing very warm conditions to much of England
Thermometers are poised to head into the 30Cs before possibly hitting 34C (93.2F) over the next 24 hours.
Parts of the UK are set to swelter with temperatures expected to smash the 33.5C (92.3F) recorded at Brize Norton, Oxfordshire, last month.
The extreme heat has sparked warnings for elderly and vulnerable people to take extra care.
The Met Office, in conjunction with Public Health England upgraded a level-2 Heat Health alert to a more serious level-3 in eastern parts of the country.
The young boy's clever contraption will provide you with the perfect way to cool down
People flock to the beach during a midweek heatwave with temperatures set to hit 30C
A separate level-2 alert was issued on Wednesday for the South East warning of heatwave conditions until Friday.
The alerts come into force when daytime temperatures hit 30c (86F) and fail to drop below 15C (59F) overnight.
Met Office Forecaster Emma Sharples said: “Warm air from the south is bringing very warm conditions to much of England and Wales.
“There will be some thunder storms developing on Wednesday evening into Thursday and we could see some heavy rain.
The Met Office has issued health warnings over the expected hot weather
“Wednesday will be fairly warm with temperatures hitting 30C (86F) in parts of the east.
“Another pulse of warm air coming up from the south at the weekend will possibly push them back to 30C.” | [

Somewhat lost in boxing's explosive return to center stage last Saturday was a sweet little cash bonus offered by Golden Boy Promotions on the B-side of dueling Las Vegas cards.
Golden Boy, which promoted the aptly titled "Knockout Kings" card -- headlined by Saul "Canelo" Alvarez's fifth-round stoppage of Josesito Lopez at the MGM Grand -- awarded a cool $100,000 to the fighter who recorded the best knockout, as voted by the fans.
Set aside the fact the fans got it wrong (Alvarez won the popular vote for his TKO in a mismatch with Lopez, overshadowing Marcos Maidana's thrilling finish in a rousing war against Jesus Soto Karass) and that the premise itself reeked of a gimmick.
Whether the bonus itself raised the levels of expectation or whether the ensuing results were simply a case of happenstance when you consider the all-action tendencies of the fighters involved, the results were spectacular. And that, my friends, is progress.
The promise of action created by the KO bonus helped spice up (no Canelo pun intended) an already stacked Showtime undercard, one created to pull viewers away from purchasing the pay-per-view of the Sergio Martinez-Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. card being held simultaneously at the nearby Thomas & Mack Center.
How much of the card's success and attention had to do with the mere presence of Alvarez, the rising 22-year-old Mexican star, is hard to ignore, as the main event produced Showtime's largest audience (1.04 million) since it began tracking bout viewership. But the overall card still produced the network's second-highest rating for a boxing telecast since 2007.
The bonus also offered the fighters a substantial financial carrot, even if most kept a poker face as to their intentions to capitalize on it. Still, when you consider that five of the eight eligible fighters had an opportunity to at least double their purse figures with the bonus, it's hard to deny its impact.
Which leads to the bigger question: Did boxing just improve its future by taking a page from its past?
In a sports landscape so heavily dominated by guaranteed contracts, boxing is no different with its financial gain rewarded up front. The final product -- what actually ends up happening inside the ring -- becomes a crapshoot.
Does that mean that every fight needs to be a brawl to be compelling, or that all fighters should be forced to throw caution to the wind, thrusting themselves into sure danger to satisfy the unceasing appetite of a combat-crazed society? Not necessarily.
But let's not forget something equally important. We are talking about a sport once known universally as "prizefighting," and the further we depart from the essence of what that term implies, the closer the sport moves toward irrelevance, and possibly extinction.
Boxing needs more incentive for its participants to give their all, something to help steer the sport away from the typical black eyes (bad decisions, boring main events, crooked promoters) that continue to set it back. When viewed against that backdrop, knockout bonuses are an exceptional step forward.
Look at the business model and practices of the UFC, an entity rescued from the brink by a group of boxing fans looking to inject elements into its fledgling product that were missing from the sport they once loved. Some of those same tactics include bonuses on every card for best knockout, fight and submission.
Although boxing doesn't have the same central governing system that has helped the UFC stoke excitement via monetary rewards, promoters should follow Golden Boy's lead -- as long as the incentives don't punish those who actually make an art out of the science of boxing. Some kind of incentive for a fighter to be the best boxer-puncher he can be is a great thing for all fans.
Certain fighters will always command more money based on their marketability alone, and rightfully so. But a future in which two fighters compete for a set percentage of both purses as a reward for the winner would be a fantastic compromise.
In the end, Golden Boy's knockout bonus could turn out to be nothing more than a gimmick. But if you look closely, it also could open the door to opportunities that just might stem the tide of a sport suffering from self-inflicted decay. | [

You will ruin your photographic reputation if you take poor photographs.This article will show you some great tips to help you improve your own style for photographing a variety of subjects.
Be quick when taking your pictures! If you wait even a moment to take the perfect shot, that moment can change the whole dynamics of your subject or lighting. The more rapidly you can photograph your subject, the more likely you are to get your desired shot.
Try new things, and be brave enough to take thoroughly original photos. Avoid recreating certain famous photographs to see how your view differs from that you have seen millions of the original artist. Try looking for angles that are unique, and try unique angles.
Choose what will be in your shot. An excellent photo will function like a little window, showing a moment in time for your subject. Do not show that much. To give a general impression of a subject, take a different pictures and organize them in a series rather than trying to capture everything in one picture.
Always make sure you have a fully charged batteries in your camera.Digital cameras can use a lot of power, the LCD screen has a lot to do with this, be sure that your batteries are charged fully before you need to use your camera. You should also carry extra camera batteries so that you can avoid missing a photograph opportunity.
Play around with shutter speeds to find out what kind of effects you can achieve. Depending how fast or slow you set your shutter speed, you can create a variety of effects ranging from crisply focused actions shots to softly blurred images. Using a faster shutter speed will let you catch objects while they are in motion, while a slow shutter speed is great for capturing serene natural settings.
When you have your shot lined up and it is time to hit the shutter button, stand still and hold your breath. Any slight movement can ruin your shot.
Using a professional camera is crucial if you plan on shooting professional quality photographs. For the best photos, look into buying a DSLR camera. A digital SLR camera is what most professional photographers use, so if you want to take perfect photos like a professional, you will need to purchase one of these as well.
Consider becoming a member of a photography group, or simply going out and taking some pictures with a fellow photographer. You can learn from others and pick up new ideas, but don’t let their ways rub off onto your photographs. Compare the stylistic differences between photos you took of the same object can look different when seen by two people.
Having sufficient light is important for taking quality photos, but if you are taking photos in bright or direct sunlight, you may end up with bad shots because of too much light. It can cast awkward shadows, glare, uneven highlights, and cause your subject to squint when looking at your camera. Early morning or twilight are much better choices for photo shoots.
Learn a valuable art in composition and that less is much more with photographs. Simplicity can translate into elegance, so keep the shots as simple as possible.
Experiment with your camera’s various features, along with angles and colors. Your subject does not have to be original in order for your photo to be unique. A good photographer infuses his talent and intuition into his photos to make boring objects look interesting. Experiment to find a style that works for you.
Shoot quickly when you take pictures. The ideal moment to capture an image usually doesn’t last for long, so you have to be prepared to catch it without warning. Animals can run away, people will get tired of holding their smile, or the candid moment will go away if you don’t take the shot when you can. Don’t worry about correctly using every setting on the settings if it means risking losing a good shot.
Take pictures of little things when traveling. The images may seem unimportant when you take the photographs, but the images will serve as a memory of your trip in the future. Include items like funny street signs, unusual cultural products available in shops or local items like coins or tickets.
Manually adjust the white balance feature on your camera.It will take some time to learn how to adjust the white balance for the proper look; however, but eventually, it will allow you to add a little creative flair to your pictures.
Practice makes perfect, so buy the largest memory card you can for you camera, and enable yourself to take a plethora of practice shots. While large memory cards can be a bit expensive, they are well the investment. Having one will ensure that you never run out of room for those precious shots. The additional information your camera can hold is also useful for photographers who choose to shoot RAW images. RAW images are those that have the most detailed information about a photograph that a camera can take in before the images are produced in a different format. The information provides the photographer with additional choices during post-production regarding various aspects of an image.
A tripod can help you want high quality pictures. Even slight bodily movements | [

Corolla is the most attractive part in majority of the flowers and is usually brightly coloured. Corolla helps to display the flower and attracts the pollinators.
a. Apopetalous (polypetalous, choripetalous): Petals are distinct. Example: Hibiscus.
b. Sympetalous (gamopetalous): Petals are fused. Example: Datura.
1. Cruciform: Four petals arranged in the form of a cross. Example: Brassica, mustard, radish, cauliflower.
2. Caryophyllaceous: Five petals with long claws with limb at right angles to the claw. Example: Caryophyllaceae. Dianthus.
3. Rosaceous: Five to many sessile or minutely clawed petals with radiating limbs. Example: Rose, Tea.
Made up of five distinct petals organized in a butterfly shape. Corolla has three types of petals. One usually large posterior petal called vexillum(standard)two lateral petals-wings (alae) and two anterior sympetalous petals called carina. Example: Clitoria ternatea, Pea, Bean.
Petals united to form a narrow tubular structure with very short limbs. Example: Disc floret of sunflower.
Petals fused to form a bell-shaped corolla. Example: Physalis,Cucurbita maxima, Campanula.
Petals fused to form funnel-shaped corolla. Tube gradually widens into limbs. Example: Datura, Ipomoea.
Petals fused to form a wheel shaped corolla with very short tube and a spreading circular limb. Example: brinjal, Evolvulus
Petals fused to form a long narrow tube with spreading limbs. Example: Catharanthus, Ixora, Tabernaemontana
Petals fused to form urn-shaped or pot-shaped corolla.Example: Bryophyllum calycinum, Diospyros.
Corolla with two lips. Example: Ocimum,Leucas,Adhatoda.
Tubular corolla with a single strap-shaped limb. Example: Ray floret of Helianthus
Corolla made up of two lips with the upper arched and the lower protruding into the corolla throat. Example: Antirrhinum,Linaria.
Tubular corolla with a single strap-shaped limb. Example: Ray floret of Helianthus.

Maine’s Department of Transportation has awarded the contract for a new ferry to Washburn & Doughty of East Boothbay. The company was one of five bidders for the 154-foot passenger-vehicle ferry, and the only Maine-based company.
After taking public comment at three public hearings in recent weeks on Islesboro, Vinalhaven, and Swan’s Island, and accepting written submissions through March 2, the Maine State Ferry Service has not yet decided how or if it will institute a rate increase.
Since 1979, the National Sea Grant College Program has administered one of the nation’s most prestigious marine policy fellowship programs, sending over 1,200 professionals with backgrounds in science, policy, management, and law to Washington, D.C.
Wherever there’s an abundance of Atlantic menhaden along the East Coast, there, too, is an abundance of other wildlife—humpback whales and bottlenose dolphins, striped bass and bluefish, and bald eagles and osprey. | [

Money doesn’t grow on trees (at least not yet), and unfortunately, the odds are that most of us can’t afford everything we want. That being said, there’s a good chance that you can afford more than you think you can, just by mastering what I like to call “the art of bargaining“.
If there’s one thing you should know when shopping for anything, it’s that price tags are rarely set in stone, as much as a shop owner or vendor might want you to think otherwise.
Indeed, there’s a good chance that you can talk down the price of your desired item to just a fraction of the price just by following some of these bargaining tips:
Know Your Price (or at least act like it)
The first step to bargaining is confidence—both in yourself, and in the value of whatever you’re purchasing. If you spend too much time hemming and hawing, you’re practically asking for your wallet to be taken advantage of. Find out the going rate of the item at hand in other shops and online, and use this as leverage to convince your seller to beat these prices.
Any business is better than no business, so almost all shop owners will lower their prices before letting you give your money to the vendor down the street.
Don’t be afraid to set your discount standards high even if you don’t expect your seller to meet your initial request. This leaves much more room for negotiation—after all, a 25% discount will sound like peanuts if you originally asked for 75% off.
Whether you’re buying a car, new suit, or groceries at the market, you’re more likely to get a good deal if you offer cash up front. As well, bringing out money in increments can entice a seller to meet your desired price. For instance, keep some money in your wallet, and the rest in your pockets so you can pull the “Look, I’ve only got X-amount of dollars” trick.
No matter how badly you want to buy a certain item, a good bluff goes a long way. Show some hesitation, or pretend to consult with your shopping partner. If a shop owner sees you’re on the fence about a purchase, they’ll be more prone to try sealing the deal with a bargain offer.
If you’re confident that you can buy an item for cheaper somewhere else, or simply can’t afford to buy it at the listed price then don’t be afraid to walk away. Odds are that with a bit of bargaining, you’ll be able to get your desired discount from another vendor. | [

- Exploring turbulence saturation in 3D plasmas
- Time: 12:05 pm
- Place: 2241 Chamberlin Hall
- Speaker: Dr. Benjamin Faber, Department of Engineering Physics, University of Wisconsin-Madison
- Abstract: Minimizing energy and particle losses due to microturbulence remains a significant challenge facing magnetic confinement fusion energy. In this talk, I will examine the physics of turbulence saturation in three-dimensional stellarator plasmas, highlighting recent theoretical and computational achievements. In particular, I will focus on turbulent saturation induced by nonlinear three-wave energy transfer between stable modes at the same scales as the driving instability, and show the three-wave coupling mechanism is dependent on local geometry. These insights into geometric dependence of saturation provides valuable input for future stellarator optimization schemes focused on reducing turbulent transport. | [

owners in Burnham and Highbridge receive fouling fines
Two dog owners in Burnham-On-Sea and Highbridge have picked
up fines after letting their animals foul streets in the two towns.
Sedgemoor District Council has successfully prosecuted two residents
for failing to pick up excrement left by their pets.
Burnham resident Bob Johnstone has been fined £245 for
failing to clean up after one of his dogs fouled the pavement
in Seaview Road.
And Highbridge resident Ann Keating has been fined £295
for failing to clean up after two of her dogs fouled a pavement
on the Popular Estate.
"Mrs Keating was caught after additional patrols were initiated
in the area in response to complaints from the public regarding
dog fouling," council spokeswoman Claire Faun told Burnham-On-Sea.com.
"Sedgemoor District Council has a zero tolerance of dog fouling
and any persons caught failing to remove their dog faeces from
a public place will be challenged, resulting in a fine or prosecution."
Residents who require further information about dog fouling enforcement
should contact Sedgemoor's Dog Warden on 0845 408 2540.

The association between BMI and amputation risk is not currently well known. We used data for a cohort of diabetic patients treated in the US Department of Veterans Affairs Healthcare System in 2003. Men aged < 65 years at the end of follow-up were examined for their amputation risk and amputation-free survival during the next 5 years (2004-2008). Compared to overweight individuals (BMI < 25-29.9 kg/m2), the risks of amputation and treatment failure (amputation or death) were higher for patients with BMI < 25 kg/m2 and were lower for those with BMI < 30 kg/m2. Individuals with BMI < 40 kg/m2 were only half as likely to experience any (hazard ratios (HR) = 0.49; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.30-0.80) and major amputations (HR = 0.53; 95% CI, 0.39-0.73) during follow-up as overweight individuals. While the amputation risk continued to decrease for higher BMI, amputation-free survival showed a slight upturn at BMI 40 kg/m 2. The association between obesity and amputation risk in our data shows a pattern consistent with obesity paradox observed in many health conditions. More research is needed to better understand pathophysiological mechanisms that may explain the paradoxical association between obesity and lower-extremity amputation (LEA) risk.

I am an Atmospheric Scientist with a focus on large-scale atmospheric dynamics. I have a wide range of research interests within atmospheric dynamics; a major focus of my current work is studying how large-scale atmospheric dynamics (circulation patterns, planetary-scale atmospheric waves...) contribute to extreme weather events such as heat waves and cold snaps. I am also interested in understanding fundamental aspects of our current climate, and how atmospheric circulation may change in the future under anthropogenic warming. I run and analyze results from climate models and analyze data from atmospheric observations to explore a wide variety of questions about our climate, from: How accurately can we predict the probability of summer heat waves weeks to months in advance? to: What differences would we see in atmospheric circulation patterns if the Earth rotated backwards?
Atmospheric Waveguides and Extreme Events
Long term goals: to increase understanding of extratropical extreme weather events, by determining how the probability of such events is influenced by large-scale atmospheric flow and associated compounding factors.
We explore connections between the propagation of atmospheric Rossby wave (large-scale waves in atmospheric flow) and extreme weather events such as heat waves, cold snaps, heavy precipitation events, and droughts.
Sub-seasonal to Seasonal Predictability of Extreme Weather Events
Long-term goals: increase sub-seasonal to seasonal predictability, and reduce the impacts, of extratropical extreme weather events, by harnessing connections between large-scale atmospheric circulation patterns and extreme events.
By studying the seasonal predictability of Rossby wave propagation pathways, in particular 'atmospheric waveguides', we will study how this may be used to provide enhanced predictability of the probability of extreme events at sub-seasonal to seasonal timescales (two weeks to three months).
Effects of Large-scale Orography on Earth's Climate
Long term goals: improve understanding of how large-scale orography (e.g. the North American Rockies, or the Himalaya) affects the circulation and variability of our current climate.
Using idealized climate model simulations in which orography is removed, or the Earth is rotated backwards (or both!) we explore the effects of orography on stationary waves (large-scale, stationary, circulation patterns), atmospheric teleconnections (Rossby waves propagating from source regions and impacting weather and climate in regions far from the source), and how changes in the background atmospheric flow conditions affect teleconnections from the tropics (e.g. from the El Niño Southern Oscillation).
Modelling Past Climates
Long term goals: expand our understanding of past climates through idealized and realistic climate model simulations.
Simulations using general circulation model simulations help us explore the climates of Earth's past, from the surface to the stratosphere. Studies include simulations of the Last Glacial Maximum using the WACCM6 model, which includes interactive chemistry, and an idealized modelling experiment looking at the influence of the narrower Atlantic basin during the early Eocene period.

Washington, D.C. – One in four children in the United States has at least one immigrant parent, and over 5 million children have a parent who is undocumented. Today, over 180 organizations are calling on the Biden-Harris administration to change federal policies and protect the children of immigrants. After four years of draconian changes in immigration, education, health care, and other social policies, these families deserve a chance to breathe and heal.
“The extent of harm to children in immigrant families [by the Trump administration] is a national emergency,” write 180+ groups from 33 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. On top of the stress of the pandemic, children of immigrants have been plagued with anxieties over potential family separation; detention and deportation of a parent or other loved one; exclusion from health care, income supports, and COVID-19 relief; and a climate of increased hate and discrimination.
The fact that a child of immigrants, Vice President-elect Kamala Harris, will be in a position of such power inspires many to believe that big change is not only possible, but probable. Yesterday, members of the Biden-Harris transition team met with Latino and immigrant workers to learn about their experiences during the pandemic.
In the letter, these 180+ groups are calling for:
- Prioritizing immigrant families in COVID-19 relief
- Elevating the needs of children of immigrants within the White House and across federal agencies
- Halting and reforming immigration enforcement actions and policies that harm children
- Facilitating family reunification
- Restoring and fully implementing DACA and TPS, as well as creating permanent protections for immigrants in the law
- Undoing the deeply harmful public charge regulation
- Increasing access to affordable, high-quality health care
- Removing barriers to child care, early education, and pre-K-12 education
- Increasing access and removing barriers to nutrition programs
- Ensuring children in mixed-status families have safe and adequate housing
- Addressing climate change through the lens of children in immigrant families
- Expanding the Child Tax Credit and Earned Income Tax Credit to all families, regardless of immigration status
The complete letter is available here: https://bit.ly/CTANTransition2021.
The Children Thrive Action Network (CTAN) spearheaded this sign-on effort. CTAN is a network of national and state or local organizations working to defend and support children in the United States in mixed-status immigrant families. Organizations that want to help carry out this mission can join the network here. | [

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
“3D Printing of Functional Microalgal Silk Structures for Environmental Applications”
ACS Biomaterials Science & Engineering
Microalgae are tiny but important organisms, producing oxygen for us to breathe. But scientists have also used the microscopic, aquatic creatures to make biofuels, food and pharmaceuticals, as well as to capture carbon dioxide from power plants and turn it into oxygen. Now, with the help of silkworm cocoons, researchers reporting in ACS Biomaterials Science & Engineering have made an artificial home to support microalgae growth and photosynthesis for environmental applications.
Someday, microalgae might be used for purposes ranging from wastewater cleanup to the purification of indoor air. But first, scientists need a way to keep microalgae in the proper place to do their jobs, without floating away or contaminating natural water systems. Researchers have developed various materials to immobilize the microorganisms, but they have limitations, such as possibly being toxic, or not being strong or stable enough. David Kaplan and colleagues had previously developed a silk hydrogel that could support mammalian cell growth, and they wondered if it would also work for microalgae.
To find out, the researchers diced up silkworm cocoons, dissolved the fiber and combined it with a thickening agent to produce a 3D-printable ink. Then, they added microalgae. The team 3D-printed the microalgae-containing ink into various shapes, such as a tree, in a container of seawater. The water contained a small amount of hydrogen peroxide, which solidified the ink into a gel. The silk structures supported microalgae growth for at least 4 weeks and photosynthesis for more than 90 days. The results suggest that the system could be suitable for environmental applications, such as indoor air improvements and carbon dioxide reduction, the researchers say.
The authors acknowledge funding from the National Institutes of Health.

Perhaps the most baffling mystery in commercial aviation history – the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 – continues to defy solution, and the agony of those with friends and loved ones aboard goes on.
Search aircraft from five countries have been scouring the ocean for a sign of the Boeing 777 that left Kuala Lumpur for Beijing on March 8, carrying 227 passengers and 12 crew. The last contact with it came less than an hour after take-off.
Much attention is now focused on the seas 1,400 miles off Perth, where there have been a number of reports of floating debris. Australia’s prime minister says there is now ‘hope’, but no more than that, that we may be on the verge of finding out what happened to the aircraft.
The Malaysian authorities believe MH370 was taken deliberately off course, for reasons unknown, and there is now speculation that the flight crew may have passed out through lack of oxygen. | [

Arizona Department Of Economic Security Director: Pandemic Shows 'We Have To Continue To Get Better'
STEVE GOLDSTEIN: The national jobs numbers for June were somewhat encouraging, with 4.8 million positions being added and more than 2.2% decline in the unemployment rate. But millions of Americans remain out of work as the effects of the pandemic and the recent COVID-19 spike exacerbate the economic uncertainty. And for those who are unemployed in Arizona, where the monthly payout is one of the lowest in the country, the approaching expiration of the $600 a month federal supplement is extremely daunting. With me to talk about the circumstances, here is Michael Wisehart, director of the Arizona Department of Economic Security. Michael, where are we in terms of people who are looking for work and want to work but are concerned about the spike in coronavirus cases?
MICHAEL WISEHART: Yeah, I think, Steve, our No. 1 concern right now is the health and safety of Arizonans. And so we are trying to work with the business community as well as claimants to ensure that individuals that need access to unemployment insurance in order to remain healthy, out of potential harm, have access to those benefits. And so we've done a lot of work with the business community to help them understand what their requirements are in regards to helping individuals have access to safe environments to work in, and we continue to work with claimants to make sure they can access benefits. We aren't removing large numbers of individuals from benefits if they feel unsafe in the work area.
GOLDSTEIN: Mike, when you mentioned generally working with the business community, has there been an understanding, frankly, among all stakeholders that this is something unique we haven't seen before and that once we hopefully get out of this, then other things have to be taken into account. But for now, everyone realizes how exceptional it is.
WISEHART: Yeah, I think there's been ongoing conversation around all the stakeholders involved in both the health and safety of Arizonans combined with the need to keep the economic engine moving forward so that it doesn't completely stall out. And we end up in a situation where we are both fighting the pandemic and a bottoming of the economy simultaneously, because I think we know what the impacts of something like that would be. So it is an extremely delicate balancing act. Health and safety is No. 1, and then the economy is really right behind it. So almost a 1A priority is we work through getting folks unemployment resources during this time, but also figuring out the best ways to ensure the economy moves forward as we look to the future in stabilizing this.
GOLDSTEIN: Michael, what's it like as someone who has done this generally for a long time and to take over as director of such a huge office during a once in a century pandemic?
WISEHART: It's a huge challenge, but also a huge opportunity. We're getting an opportunity to really see where the department provides health and safety, almost lifesaving services to Arizonans. And so it's giving us an opportunity to really focus on those key critical areas that Arizonans rely on day in and day out. It's opening up, I think, our eyes to areas where Arizonans really need us to be better. It's a huge challenge. And I don't mean to underscore this immense situation that we have in front of us, but really in working through this, it's also a tremendous opportunity for us to reshape the way that the department helps assist and moves Arizonans forward, because it's really identifying those areas that are of immense criticality to Arizonans as we move forward.
GOLDSTEIN: Even though no one wants it to happen in the midst of a pandemic, was it a system that needed restructuring, more innovation, whatever, as many, frankly, agencies do?
WISEHART: Yeah. I'll never be critical of those individuals that came before me in this huge task. A large agency with a tremendous responsibility. But there's no question that we as an organization have to continue to get better. We aren't meeting the requirements of Arizonans in those areas that are core competencies for our department at the level that we need to. And so we're going to continue to evolve, we're going to continue to get better. And really, the pandemic brings us into laser focus those areas that require the most attention, the most need for us to continue to get better every day.
GOLDSTEIN: Michael, let me ask you a question about federal money. There's been this federal unemployment supplement of $600 a week that's going to expire at the end of this month, or is at least set to. Is there a concern that with that expiration, if it's not extended in some way, that that could create a gap that might stress other state programs, in DES, elsewhere?
WISEHART: Yeah. I think | [

Rebel Raiders on the High Seas is a strategic game of the Civil War which focuses on the role of the navies on the rivers, along the coasts and on the oceans. While most ships are represented by generic counters for Ironclads, Blockade Runners, Gunboats, Screw Sloops and, of course Raiders, there are cards and corresponding counters for many individual vessels. This series presents those cards and offers a glimpse into the history of these storied ships.
Part II – The Gunboats: The Mosquito Fleet- Montgomery at
“The Mosquito Fleet” (CSN Card 81) represents the rag-tag little squadrons the South cobbled together for the defense of
and. Civilian vessels to which a gun or two and
crew were hastily added, and to which bales of cotton, stacks of lumber or
other makeshift defenses were added, these hopelessly outclassed and outgunned
little ships and their brave crews performed far better than any could expect
or demand. Mobile Bay
The two Confederate naval officers who led those forces --- Commander James Montgomery at Memphis and Admiral Franklin Buchanan at Mobile Bay – are both represented by stand-up Leader counters and Fleet Command Boxes on the lower left of the map. (Players may take a stack of ships and place them in a Fleet Command Box and replace them on the map with the corresponding Leader – there are two such for the South, four for the North). | [

- Holocaust art is unique in its portrayal of time and place. How are the paintings and drawings created during the Holocaust different when compared to other eras and significant periods of history?
- How would you engage the subject of the Holocaust artistically? What key questions would you like to answer prior to creating an artistic response to the Holocaust?
- How does the architect Daniel Libeskind memorialize the Holocaust through his monuments and museums?
Architect Daniel Libeskind discusses the importance of human rights monuments and memorials
In this section, the Holocaust can be explored through a study of art and art history, examining how victims used artistic expression to communicate their protest, despair, and/or hope. By looking at what they reveal about life in the ghettos and camps, you can approach the works as historical artifacts.
You can examine the value of art by discovering and viewing the works of victims living in the camps, through artists commemorating the Holocaust through artistic creations, and through interpretations of the Holocaust as expressed in contemporary art by today’s students and teachers.
The Power of Holocaust Art
Art as an escape from reality
Art as reaction or resistance to the structural elements of society has performed multiple functions beyond documentation. The production of works of art reaffirmed and enabled artists to bridge the existential divide enforced through dominance connecting and reconnecting the individual artist to their past creativity. Art as creative act became an escape to another world repurposing long hours of idle tedium.
Art as a means of barter
Works of art also served a functional role in relationships as exchange or barter. Often, artists were commissioned to produce portraits from photographs by camp administrators. The exchange would occasionally provide the artist with more favourable food or even the opportunity to send messages.
Survivor Esther Lurie: “I managed to get hold of a pencil and some scraps of paper. I started to draw some of the various ‘types’ among the women prisoners. Young girls, who had ‘friends’ among the male inmates and who used to get gifts of food asked me to draw their portrait. The payment—a piece of bread.”
Art as a means of connection with the outside world
Art in its production and exchange played an important role for its creators offering distraction and connection while passing time and offering the possibility of small rewards. Many artists’ resistive acts were intended to reach the outside world and communicate camp conditions to the people “on the other side of the fence.” This dangerous act of resistance would often lead to dire consequences, as exemplified in the lives of Karel Fleischman and Leo Haas, inmates in the Nazi’s “model ghetto” Theresienstadt.
The artists’ quarters were searched in advance of a visit by the Red Cross during the summer of 1944, to prohibit the smuggling of paintings depicting the reality of the camp. The Germans sought to stem the flow of smuggled art and its shocking reality to the world outside Theresienstadt. Haas and Fleischman were interrogated and tortured, yet refused to communicate with their captors leading to their transfer to Auschwitz. Fleischman would die there. Both artists exhibited resolute determination and created art that challenged the public narratives of the Nazis while minimally sustaining the imprisoned artists through the abyss of isolation, exile, and isolation.
Consider the words of Dr. Karel Fleischman, an artist and doctor in Theresienstadt:
“I too have done all kinds of things. I helped others, thereby helping myself. I took up pencil and paintbrush and used them as a springboard to enter the world of the imagination. I wanted to see the world differently, experience it differently. In all the hundreds of paintings I have produced I always painted the same world, yet also a world that changes every second. A world beyond time.”
“I ignored reality. I read chronicles. I studied physics, chemistry, economics, languages and the history of art. I read books about geography and voyages to all places and at all times. I would close my eyes and still feel compelled to see everything. The doorbell rings—a threat. Crossing the road—torture. A note left on the table at lunchtime—trepidation. The door of my mother’s apartment—fear and worry. This is what life is like in the twilight.”
Subjects and style
The majority of works of art created during the Holocaust were stark, small, and spare. Most of these paintings and drawings were realistic and primarily made in the common media of watercolour, charcoal, ink, and pencil given practicality and access to materials. Viewers and visual translators of these captivating drawings and paintings are cautioned to critically consider the artist’s depictions, use of media, and specific subject matter, while carefully holding personal interpretations in mind. Art as documentation both portrays and records for future eyes the perils of these aspects of the constructed human condition beyond | [

The Lower East Side of Manhattan has been the stomping grounds for European pushcart vendors, rebellious punk rock kids and, now, meticulously-groomed hipsters who troll its streets for Instagrammable scenes. And they can find it—and a flash of all of that New York history—in the grinds at Ludlow Coffee Supply.
In a perfect amalgam of downtown New York City history, the coffee shop now occupies the space that was once the punk bar Max Fish at 176 Ludlow, just a half block from the iconic Katz's Deli.
The employees are appropriately gorgeous and aloof. Customers flock from the cooler enclaves of the city or corners of Madrid, Prague and LA. You should probably have a few tattoos and at least one pair of Ray Bans before you go in. (A Moleskin notebook wouldn't hurt either.)
The coffee menu is short and simple. The beans are imported across the East River from Red Hook, Brooklyn. A maple latte is as heavy on the sugar as it is photogenic. Light bites include baked egg dishes, avocado toast, salads and pastries. But the coolest element is the Ludlow Barber Supply that sits directly behind the coffee shop through a swinging door. Three old-fashioned barber chairs offer another small menu of just six services: haircut, buzzcut, hot towel shave, beard trim, shape up and designs.
But Ludlow Coffee Supply can be forgiven for its hipster preciousness since its owner is the real deal. John Seymour is a New York-born Irish brawler who counts Biggie Smalls among his icons and Nas among his actual friends. He owns various restaurants in Brooklyn and Manhattan and is considering an LA venture soon. Raised in Yorkville among Irish and German immigrants, spending time getting blasted at Max Fish and now helping change the neighborhood, Seymour and his newest shop truly embody the Lower East Side in its ever-changing identity | [

The BCM...messages, worship, villages, and ownership classes all connect to help me understand Jesus in a way that has had a critical impact on how I see people and the relationship I have with God. I am thankful for such a strong community of friends who so lovingly lead me to Christ with their everyday examples."
Being involved in the BCM has given me a refreshment in my walk with the Lord. I am so inspired to be surrounded by college students who are serious about their faith. I have learned more about God and His word in the past few weeks than I have in years."
Leaders with the Baptist General Convention of Oklahoma (BGCO) have accepted a contract with the University of Oklahoma Board of Regents for the purchase of the BGCO’s present University of Oklahoma (OU) Baptist Collegiate Ministry (BCM) property. Read More…
“We are delighted with this development and believe this is a mutually beneficial arrangement for our ministry and the University, as well. The property previously occupied by our ministry meets a need for the University, and the new ground lease site from OU will place our ministry in a strategic location on campus, closer to the students we serve.”

The flag of the state of Alaska consists of eight gold stars, forming the Big Dipper and the North Star, on a dark blue field. The Big Dipper is an asterism in the constellation Ursa Major which symbolizes a bear, an animal indigenous to Alaska. As depicted on the flag, its stars can be used as a guide by the novice to locate Polaris and determine true north, which varies considerably from a magnetic north.
The design was created by Benny Benson of Seward and selected from among roughly 700 entries in a 1927 contest. | [

JFET and MOSFET SPICE Models in a Wide Temperature Range
The schematic design of electronic devices for harsh environments requires SPICE models of electronic components that take into account the influence of ultralow and ultrahigh ambient temperatures. However, the standard SPICE models of components in commercial versions of SPICE-like simulators provide sufficient accuracy in a limited temperature range (–60 to 150°С) and cannot be used for calculating electronic circuits in the range from ultralow to ultrahigh temperatures. This paper presents modified Low-T and High-T SPICE models of field-effect transistors with the MOSFET and JFET structure, intended for calculating electronic circuits in the temperature range from ultralow to ultrahigh (–200 to 300°С) temperatures. All the models are built using a universal approach, which consists of adding additional expressions for the temperature-dependent parameters of the model to the basic SPICE model of the devices. A procedure for extracting the parameters of SPICE models based on the results of measurements or TCAD modeling of the standard set of I–V and CV characteristics in a wide temperature range is developed. The error in describing the static I–V characteristics of MOSFET and JFET transistors does not exceed 10–12% in the temperature range –200 to 300°С. | [

You can definitly read and extract the iso with wx360. you should be able to make changes to the files but depending on the checks the games do on the discs, you may run into problems with this part. You definitly can't make any changes to the XEX files as they are signed but I don't believe the other files on the disc are signed but I could be wrong about that. Another issue you may run into is if the game performs any checksums. You may be able to change the files as long as they stay the same size or you may be able to change them with no concern for the size or you may not be able to change them at all. After that, you can reconstruct the iso with a multitude of programs.
It's worth a try. I think it is possible as long as you don't mess with the XEX | [

Space telecommunications require amplifiers that are efficient, high-power, wideband, small, lightweight, and highly reliable. Currently, helix traveling wave tube amplifiers (TWTA) are the technology of choice. Conventional helix TWTAs employ circular electron beams. Recently, lightweight circular-beam helix TWTAs have been demonstrated with power output in the range of several hundred watts and overall efficiency in the range of 40 to 60 percent. Despite these advances, there is substantial value in further improvement across all of these areas. Beam Power Technology (BPT) proposes a novel elliptic-beam TWTA which is highly efficient (75%) and has 500 W of CW power, reduced weight, lower voltage and an expected 15+ year lifetime. The average power operation is at a back-off of -6 dB from saturation. The linearity is -35 dBc. The Phase I objective is to determine the feasibility of an elliptic-beam helix TWTA which substantially exceeds the performance levels of conventional helix devices. In Phase II, BPT will complete the engineering design and experimental demonstration of a prototype targeting eventual deployment into satellite applications. | [

By default is not checked the minimum entry diameter of internal tools.
This is a problem when you have to machine a diameter which is near the minimum entry diameter of the tools.
Let's say you want to machine a Ø 33 mm hole, you can see the tool can move to Ø 30 in the toolpath.See image below
This is a problem if the used tool has a minimum entry diameter of Ø31.5.
To overcome this problem, you can set the min. entry diameter in tool geometry screen.
If you proceed to machine the same profile above, you can see in the output g-code, the minimum diameter is Ø 31.5mm, not more Ø 30mm.
Setting the min. entry diameter property, also help ecam in choose the right tool when you have defined the profile.
A error is generated when the tool and profile are incompatible. For example you have a profile with minimum diameter of Ø 29 mm and the tool min. entry is Ø 31.5 mm.
In toolpath creation, a default distance is used to calculated the secure diameter.
This value is obtained by picking the lowest point of profile and subtract a default distance ( 1 mm ).
When is necessary and when a min. entry diameter is defined in tool geometry a minimum default value is used (0.1 mm) to calculate this secure diameter.
You can change this default values in tool machine properties. See image below. | [

We decided to install a coffee bean cleaning plant in Cameroon, with the aim of improving the quality and yield of the coffee beans produced by local farmers.
Cameroon is a beautiful country situated in the western part of Central Africa, known for its diverse landscapes, rich culture, and fertile soil. Coffee is one of the most important crops grown in Cameroon, and the country produces some of the finest coffees in the world. However, the coffee production process in Cameroon has been plagued by challenges such as low productivity, poor quality, and limited access to modern processing technology.
This is where we, as a leading manufacturer of coffee processing equipment, saw an opportunity to make a difference. We decided to install a coffee bean cleaning plant in Cameroon, with the aim of improving the quality and yield of the coffee beans produced by local farmers.
The project began with extensive research and consultations with local coffee farmers, cooperatives, and government agencies. We identified the key challenges facing the local coffee industry and designed a plant that would address these challenges head-on.
The plant we installed is state-of-the-art, with modern equipment that is capable of cleaning, sorting, and grading coffee beans with exceptional accuracy and speed. The plant is fully automated, which means that it requires very little manual labor, reducing the cost of production significantly.
Additionally, we provided training and technical support to local farmers and plant workers, ensuring that they fully understand how to operate and maintain the equipment. We also taught them how to identify and sort high-quality beans, which would fetch a premium price in the international market.
The result of our efforts has been remarkable. The coffee beans produced by the plant are of much higher quality than before, with a much lower defect rate. The farmers are also enjoying higher yields and better prices for their produce, which has had a positive impact on their livelihoods and the local economy.
The success of this project would not have been possible without the cooperation and support of the local community. We are grateful for the opportunity to make a difference in Cameroon and are committed to continuing our efforts to support coffee farmers and the local economy.
The bean cleaning line ordered by WINTONE has been in production for 3 months. The current output is stable and selected beans with good color and no dust. The diseased seeds have been sorted out and the quality is high. The state government specially visited and reported my factory.
I made a trial order of 50 tons of rice processing plants from China Win Tone Company in 2019, and it worked well. I ordered a set of 200 tons of pre-cooked corn flour production line. What I prefer is mixing, feeding, oven, grinding, and packaging. It's all automated computer control, NICE!
After shopping around, I finally chose the 120TPD coffee bean cleaning line designed by China Win Tone Machinery, which not only has a good cleaning effect, but also is cost-effective. Automated production saves labors and ensures stable output. Their sales Jaspher Gao is very interesting. | [

Prism Sound Launches New Lyra USB Audio Interfaces
October 12, 2012 by Janice Brown
Prism Sound will launch its new Lyra line of USB interfaces at the upcoming AES Convention in San Francisco (Oct. 26-29). The new product line is based on Prism’s Orpheus 8-channel Firewire interface, but in a smaller package at a more attractive price point for a wider-range of musicians, producers, composers, DJs.
Ultimately, Prism Sound plans to launch a number of different variants of Lyra, but at AES will debut Lyra 1 and Lyra 2. Both incorporate “new ARM Cortex-based ‘Xcore’ processor design offering class-compliant USB interfacing, plus DSP and a low latency ‘console-quality’ digital mixer for foldback monitoring.” Both products also have optical SPDIF capability and Lyra 2 also supports ADAT.
Lyra 1, which will retail at around $2,166, offers two analog input channels – one for instrument/line and one for mic/line – plus two DA output channels and optical-only digital I/O.
Lyra 2, which will retails at around $2,970, provides two AD input channels with switchable microphone, instrument or line input modes and four DA output channels. Both optical-only digital I/O and copper S/PDIF are available on Lyra 2, which also offers wordclock In/Out enabling synchronization with other digital devices.
Measuring at just 11 inches wide, the Lyra (1 and 2) is an easily portable product for musicians, producers and DJs on the road. And for studio use, Prism Sound can supply dedicated rack mounts as an extra.
Lyra will start shipping in November 2012. | [

Tribology is the science of studying two interacting surfaces in relative motion and encompasses wear, lubrication, friction, and other related design aspects.
The consistency of a lubricating grease is one of its most distinguishing qualities. Lubricating greases often are formulated with additives and thickeners to influence its tribological behaviors. Some design aspects that are measured to determine tribological characteristics are performed using penetration, dropping point and anti-wear test methods, These properties give valuable insight on the characterization of a grease and its applications in industry.
As it pertains to grease and its industry, penetration is defined as the depth, in millimeters, to which a standard weighted cone sinks into the tested grease under prescribed conditions. The penetration value gives information about the hardness of a grease, where a higher penetration value corresponds to a softer, less stiff grease. In an internal combustion engine (ICE), a too soft grease is undesirable, as the grease is more susceptible to migration. This migration may remove the grease from the area of the system that requires lubrication, leading to heavy surface wear and high shear. Consequently, quantifying and understanding a grease’s penetration value is vital for identifying its suitable applications and avoiding potential mechanical failure from unideal usage. A test method to determine the penetration of a grease has been developed and standardized by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) and is given the designation D-217. Similarly, roll stability is an indication of a grease’s mechanical stability as it would act in service applications. As per the ASTM Method D-1831, roll stability is defined as the change in consistency of a sample after a specified amount of work in a test apparatus utilizing a weighted roller inside a rotating cylinder. Roll Stability is quantified by the change in penetration of a worked grease before and after rolling. Ideally, the change in penetration before and after rolling should be zero, meaning that the consistency of the grease was unaffected by rolling or working. This would infer that the grease is able to hold its consistency despite being worked for extended periods of time under harsh conditions experienced in service applications. Therefore, little to no changes in penetration of a lubricating grease are highly sought after in the grease industry, as it shows stability, reliability, and sustainability of a grease over long periods of worked practical application.
ASTM test method D-217 details the importance of penetration and contains the procedure to quantify this tribological characteristic. This test method covers the measurement of the consistency of a grease via the penetration of a cone with specified dimensions, mass, and finish. This test methodASTM D-217 evaluates the consistency of lubricating grease for half scale, quarter scale, and, full scale. The different testing scales are shown below in Figure 1, which captures Koehler Instrument Company, Inc’s penetrometer accessories for ½ half and ¼ quarter scales. To run this test, fill the desired sized cup for the penetration test, ensuring no air bubbles, and level off the grease with the rim of the cup. Then, center the grease cup directly below the penetrometer, as shown in Figure 2, which. Figure 2 displays the Digital Penetrometer product from Koehler Instrument Company, Inc.. This penetrometer, conforms to all ASTM, IP, ISO 9001 and related specifications for penetrometers. The test is then run, and after 5 seconds the penetration value is determined. An average of 3 penetration values is taken as the true penetration value, which. This designates the consistency of a grease.

ASTM test method D-1831 highlights how roll stability is an indicator of the sustainability of consistency and performance of a lubricating grease over extended periods of time. This test method covers the determination of the changes in the consistency of lubricating greases when worked in a roll stability test apparatus. The roll stability is used widely in specifications and is significant in that it shows a directional change in consistency that could occur in service. Meaning, this test yields a general trend in penetration of the grease being tested. For example, if penetration increases after rolling (the penetration value is greater than before rolling), a positive change in consistency will be observed. It can then be concluded that the grease will harden when under stress in service applications. Prior to testing, the penetration of the grease is determined as per D-217. Next, 50 grams of unworked grease is uniformly distributed along the sides of the test cylinder shown in Figure 3, which shows the test cylinder, the | [

THE REALITY About E-Cigs And Vaping Health
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved the long term usage of e-liquids, but you can find strong reasons why they must be. For one thing, e-liquids do not contain any chemical compounds recognized to trigger cancer. Additionally, vaporizing your personal cigarette and inhaling the smoke produced is less harmful than smoking a cigarette filled with chemical compounds. Let’s have a look at some of the dangers of e-liquids.
A lot of the vapor produced by electric cigarettes is made up of hundreds of thousands of chemicals. E-liquids are put into an electric tank that contains propylene glycol or vegetable oil. Propylene glycol can be an ingredient that is commonly put into antifreeze and is used to help protect engine parts from freezing and thawing. However when it comes into connection with your lungs, Propylene Glycol could cause damage to your respiratory system.
Nicotine is a highly addictive drug that increases the release of dopamine in your brain. Inhaling nicotine can increase your blood pressure and make you feel very sluggish. Ingesting electronic cigarettes can also lead vapinger.com to cardiovascular disease, a condition that is more prevalent among adults than children. Smoking while puffing on an electric cigarette can increase the threat of developing cardiovascular disease, however the longer you go without smoking, the lower your risk becomes.
One of the most serious smoking concerns with teenagers is the potential for them to build up an dependence on nicotine. Nicotine is contained in almost all cigarettes and as a high school student, your chances of having an addiction are really high. Teens who start smoking at an extremely young age may continue smoking well to their adult life. Studies have shown that adult smokers who started smoking at a very young age continue steadily to have stronger nicotine addiction than non-smokers.
Nevertheless, you can reduce the threat of having a nicotine addiction by using vaporizing devices. According to the American Heart Association, nicotine is more likely to be there in smoke than other substances, and vaporizing your cigarette reduces the quantity of nicotine present in one’s body. As your nicotine addiction decreases through the use of vaporizing cigarettes, you’ll experience fewer cravings and you’ll be able to stop smoking when you wish to. A report performed by the American Heart Association showed that folks who used vaporizing cigarettes decreased their chances of having heart attacks or strokes. This makes sense because nicotine is really a stimulant and increases the blood pressure within your body.
Despite the fact that there is absolutely no concrete evidence showing that vaporizing really works, it’s hard to argue against the fact that e-cigarette smoking will be a lot safer than regular cigarette smoking. E-cigarette smoking doesn’t cause lung cancer or other health conditions that come from long-term cigarette smoking. THE MEALS and Drug Administration considers e-cigs a tobacco product and as such they are regulated by the same safety standards as traditional tobacco cigarettes. Due to this fact, there is no reason to believe that e-cigs are unsafe. Based on the European Commission, electric cigarettes are 95% less harmful than regular cigarettes.
Nicotine isn’t the only ingredient that causes damage to the body once you puff on a cigarette. You can find hundreds of other chemicals that are discovered in tobacco leaves that are toxic when subjected to the air. Nearly all these ingredients could cause coughing, burning of the lips and throat, sore throats and mouth sores. These risks don’t even exist by using e-cigs and they are a lot safer.
It’s true that vaporizing e cigarettes is convenient. There are hundreds of different kinds of vaporizers to choose from, so that you can find the one which works for you. If you are using an electronic device that heats up your lungs to produce the vapor that you want, you’re making yourself very inhale conscious. You are not inhaling smoke, but rather, vaporizing something that is not good for you. But when it comes right down to it, the simplest way to quit smoking is by simply not smoking at all. | [

A plane’s engines are designed to move it forward at high speed. That makes air flow rapidly over the wings, which throw the air down toward the ground, generating an upward force called lift that overcomes the plane’s weight and holds it in the sky. … The wings force the air downward and that pushes the plane upward.
What force keeps an airplane in the air?
Weight is the force caused by gravity. Lift is the force that holds an airplane in the air. The wings create most of the lift used by airplanes.
What are those things that fly in the air?
These machines include aircraft such as airplanes, gliders, helicopters, autogyros, airships, balloons, ornithopters as well as spacecraft. Gliders are capable of unpowered flight.
Can airplanes stay still in the air?
Can an Airplane stand still in mid-air? Technically, it is possible for an airplane to hover for a few moments, but only in the rarest of circumstances. If weight and lift cancel each other out at the same exact time that thrust and drag cancel each other out, the plane would hover until one of these variables changed.
Can an airplane stay in the air without moving?
To stay in the air and sustain its flight, an aircraft needs to be moving forward. … If the plane stopped flying forward, it could not produce lift, an thus could not stay up, unlike the helicopter which uses a propeller to stay airborn.
How long can a plane stay in the air?
Planes can now fly for 21 hours non-stop.
Why do planes stop in mid air?
No a plane doesn’t stop in midair, planes need to keep moving forward to remain in the air (unless they are VTOL capable). What it can do is simply turn around or go over/under the obstruction. VTOL means vertical takeoff and landing. It essentially means they can hover in place like a helicopter.
How can a human fly naturally?
Humans will never fly by flapping our arms with wings attached, says Mark Drela, Terry J. … In theory, human legs do have enough strength to do this, but only if the wings’ span is large enough — at least 80 feet or so — and if they also weigh significantly less than the human.
What can fly without wings?
The answer to the “what flies without wings” riddle is “time”.
What is the most dangerous part of a flight?
Boeing research shows that takeoff and landing are statistically more dangerous than any other part of a flight. 49% of all fatal accidents happen during the final descent and landing phases of the average flight, while 14% of all fatal accidents happen during takeoff and initial climb.
Why do planes not freeze in the air?
On a colder object by water directly desublimating on its surface or on any object when air is saturated with water. Frost can form on a moving airplane, but only the second way. … However when you fly into a cloud in freezing temperature, the water droplets will freeze on the aircraft when they hit it.
Can a plane fly with one wing?
No, an airplane cannot fly with only one wing. In order for a plane to stay stable in air, it has to maintain balance. With only one wing, the weight is shifted to one side of the plane.
How long can a plane stay in the air without engines?
Flying at a typical altitude of 36,000 feet (about seven miles), an aircraft that loses both engines will be able to travel for another 70 miles before reaching the ground.
What happens if an airplane goes too high?
When the plane gets too high, there is insufficient oxygen to fuel the engines. “The air is less dense at altitude, so the engine can suck in less and less air per second as it goes higher and at some point the engine can no longer develop sufficient power to climb.” …
Can helicopters stop in mid air?
A helicopter that is flying forward can stop in mid-air and begin hovering very quickly. We’ll cover this signature maneuver next. | [

Antaisolar has completed the first construction phase of its self-built roof solar plant by taking charge of the integrated services from investment, design, construction, connecting to grid and monitoring. The roof plant is installed on the cement roof of our factory in Zhangzhou, Fujian, covering the roof area of 2,722 square meters.
The cement roof is flat, with no slant and no covering around. Therefore, based on the roof condition and the factory’s electricity consumption, the project utilized SC solar mounting system (installation angle of 20 °), with the installed capacity of 150 kilowatts. The project is expected to generate 150,000 KWh per year.
During peak energy periods in summer, the electricity generated by the roof solar plant will be connected to the factory's grid for production use. As a kind of strong supplement energy, the green power will create significant economic benefits for the operation of the factory.
Energy conservation and emission reduction:
It is expected to recoup the cost in four to five years. | [

There are competing ideas among Missouri lawmakers for cleaning up the West Lake Landfill Superfund Site west of St. Louis.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) administrator Scott Pruitt said earlier this month that the government’s taken too long to address the issues while declaring that a decision would be announced in January.
“There’s proposals that I’m looking at this month to make a decision on West Lake. It’s a very important issue to the people of St. Louis,” says Pruitt.
Back in May, bipartisan legislation was introduced by Missouri members of Congress to transfer management of the site from the EPA to the Army Corp of Engineers.
Republican Roy Blunt and Democrat Claire McCaskill teamed up on a measure in the Senate, while GOP member Ann Wagner and Democrat William Lace Clay, both St. Louis area Congress members, file a companion bill in the House.
In October, Republican state Senator Mike Kehoe of Jefferson City sent a letter to the EPA’s regional office in Kansas City, asking the agency to follow its own 2008 recommendation to physically cap and isolate the material at the landfill forever.
Kehoe said in his letter that there continues to be no evidence of health risks to individuals living or working near the West Lake site, and that excavating the waste would present unintended hazards.
17 other Republican State Senators signed onto Kehoe’s letter, which claims excavation and transportation of waste would create unnecessary exposure and public safety risks on roadways and railways.
The correspondence also points out there’s concern among wildlife and aviation experts that excavation would lead to the risk of bird strikes to aircraft approaching and leaving St. Louis’ Lambert Airport.
Kehoe’s letter expressed sympathy to those who worry their health may have been compromised by the legacy of the Manhattan Project, a World War II nuclear bomb development program which led to the dumping of contaminated waste at the West Lake site in the 1970’s.
An underground fire at the nearby Bridgeton Landfill, which has been burning since at least 2010, is making its way toward the radioactive material at West Lake.
While Kehoe’s letter dismisses the existence of health risks at West Lake, it states that circumstances at nearby Coldwater Creek have been found to be wholly different.
Kim Visintine of the Coldwater Creek group told Missourinet earlier this month people living in that area have reported a list of health battles, including cancer, autoimmune disease, some cannot have children and some children born with deformities.
EPA head Pruitt told a U.S. House committee in early December that he’ll release a decision next month on what will be done at West Lake Landfill. The site will either be capped, as Kehoe and the group of Republican State Senators want, or it will be excavated.
Meanwhile, Democratic State Senator Maria Chappelle-Nadal of University City refiled the same measure she put forth last session to assist homeowners in contaminated areas.
Under the plan, if a federal or state environmental or state health agency determined a home to be uninhabitable due to contamination from certain radiation, the owner would be eligible to sell the home for fair market value through the Missouri contaminated home acquisition program administered by the state Department of Natural Resources.
Chappelle-Nadal’s bill calls for up to $12.5 million to be dedicated to achieving the goal. | [

Pregnancy Home > Pregnancy and Depression
Any of these symptoms that last longer than two weeks are possible signs of depression:
- Feeling restless or irritable
- Feeling sad, hopeless, and overwhelmed
- Crying a lot
- Having no energy or motivation
- Eating too little or too much
- Sleeping too little or too much
- Trouble focusing, remembering, or making decisions
- Feeling worthless and guilty
- Loss of interest or pleasure in activities
- Withdrawal from friends and family
- Headaches, chest pains, heart palpitations (the heart beating fast and feeling like it is skipping beats), or hyperventilation (fast and shallow breathing).
After pregnancy, signs of depression may also include being afraid of hurting the baby or oneself and not having any interest in the baby.
People tend to use terms pertaining to pregnancy and depression interchangeably, but there is a difference, as explained in the following sections.
The baby blues can develop in the days right after childbirth, and normally go away within a few days to a week. A new mother can experience:
- Sudden mood swings
- Crying spells
- Loss of appetite
- Sleeping problems
- Feelings of irritability, restlessness, anxiety, and loneliness.
Symptoms are not severe, and treatment generally isn't needed. But there are things you can do to feel better. Nap when the baby does. Ask for help from your spouse, family members, and friends. Join a support group for new moms or talk with other moms. | [

After two months of deliberations, the German federal government approved the delivery of 18 RCH-155 self-propelled howitzers to Ukraine, the German news website “Welt” reported. However, the RCH-155 would be delivered in 30 months at the earliest.
Welt stated that Ukraine sent a request to Germany for 18 units of the RCH-155 weapons system, produced by the Krauss-Maffei Wegmann (KMW) armaments group, in mid-July 2022. 18 RCH-155 howitzers are valued at EUR 216 million.
According to Ukrainian sources, KMW only wanted to start production when there was a clear signal from the federal government that the weapons could be exported to Ukraine. That is why the RCH-155 would be delivered no sooner than 30 months.
Still, Ukraine’s ambassador to Germany Andriy Melnyk welcomed the move and hoped that the federal government “also makes further commitments” as part of an existing KMW offer of a total of 100 self-propelled howitzers.
The RCH-155 has a barrel of a Panzerhaubitze 2000 (PzH 2000) mounted on the base of a Boxer, an eight-wheeled military vehicle. The ammunition also corresponds to that of the PzH 2000. Germany has already delivered ten units of this self-propelled howitzer to Ukraine.
So far, Germany has delivered 10 self-propelled Panzerhaubitze 2000 howitzers and three Mars II artillery rocket systems.
— The Kyiv Independent (@KyivIndependent) August 19, 2022
Earlier on September 10, Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba accused Germany of ignoring Kyiv’s pleas for Leopard tanks and Marder infantry fighting vehicles, saying Berlin offered only “abstract fears and excuses” for not providing such military hardware.
His comment came after President Volodymyr Zelenskyy made a new appeal to the West to speed up deliveries of weapons systems as Ukrainian forces move to consolidate control over a large swathe of northeastern territory recaptured from Russia.
“Not a single rational argument on why these weapons cannot be supplied, only abstract fears and excuses. What is Berlin afraid of that Kyiv is not?,” Minister Kuleba wrote on Twitter.
Disappointing signals from Germany while Ukraine needs Leopards and Marders now — to liberate people and save them from genocide. Not a single rational argument on why these weapons can not be supplied, only abstract fears and excuses. What is Berlin afraid of that Kyiv is not?
— Dmytro Kuleba (@DmytroKuleba) September 13, 2022
During Kuleba’s last visit to Berlin German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock promised further military aid and did not rule out the delivery of Western-style main battle tanks. However, no concrete information has been provided.

Matthew Hill is an Associate Professor at the Hotchkiss Brain Institute at the University of Calgary (Canada). His research primarily focuses on trying to understand the endocannabinoid system and how it regulates emotions and stress circuits in the brain to modulate anxiety and stress-related psychiatric disorders, such as post-traumatic stress disorder.
In this interview, Matthew speaks to us about his talk on endocannabinoids as a mechanism of comorbidity between inflammatory disease and anxiety, including what the next steps of his research will be. He also discusses if the controversial elements behind term ‘cannabinoid’ provide any limitations to research.
You’re presenting a talk here at FENS (7–11 July, Berlin, Germany) on endocannabinoids as a mechanism of comorbidity between inflammatory disease and anxiety – can you tell us more about this?
“…one of the other disease classes that you see quite regularly with individuals who self-medicate with cannabis are inflammatory diseases…“
We have done a lot of work looking into how endocannabinoids are involved in the effects of stress on anxiety. It’s interesting because when you look at populations of people who use marijuana for medical benefit, or things that they believe help them, we’d always look into post-traumatic stress disorder as a potential. However, one of the other disease classes that you see quite regularly with individuals who self-medicate with cannabis are inflammatory diseases like irritable bowel syndrome or colitis, arthritis or even multiple sclerosis. We became intrigued by the fact that these inflammatory diseases are quite often comorbid with psychiatric issues including anxiety and depression.
If you look at a lot of the survey data that has been done in individuals who have inflammatory diseases and use cannabis in a medical sense, more often than not, you see that the use of cannabis improves the psychiatric comorbidities more than the disease state itself, for example. This made us wonder if perhaps this was related to the fact that there might be changes in brain endocannabinoid function from inflammatory disease that are involved in the generation of comorbidities such as anxiety, and this could explain why external augmentation of cannabinoid function with something like delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol in cannabis might help improve some of the anxiety effects. What we found was that, indeed, persistent peripheral inflammation like colitis resulted in a reduction in endocannabinoid function in the brain, and if we boost endocannabinoid function in the brain, we are able to reverse some of those changes in anxiety.
What are your next steps for this? Do you think this could be translated into a benefit for patients with anxiety or these effects with inflammatory disease?
There’s a lot of interest from the pharmaceutical industry about using drugs that inhibit endocannabinoid metabolism, sort of like an endocannabinoid-selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor. They elevate endocannabinoid levels in the brain, and in the context of psychiatric issues, particularly anxiety, there has been a lot of interest, but also there has been an interest in looking at inflammatory diseases and colitis. Irritable bowel syndrome has actually been one of the targets that people have talked about. Therefore, we think that from a translational perspective, these data are really interesting because they might help provide a two-pronged therapeutic approach. This is because by using a drug that elevates endocannabinoid function, you may be able to treat the inflammation associated with colitis but also treat some of the comorbidities as well, such as the changes in anxiety.
Cannabinoids is a bit of a buzzword, especially in the media, and it can be seen as slightly more controversial than other areas of medical research. Do you think this controversial element provides any limitations or challenges with research, if any?
“I think focusing on endocannabinoids and the development of pharmaceutical drugs that target the endocannabinoids system strips away a lot of that controversy.“
I would say if you were studying cannabis directly, then yes, it’s a lot trickier. There’s so much variance in cannabis through different strains and some patients have reported a lot of benefit and others have adverse reactions. The clinical studies haven’t demonstrated overwhelmingly large effects, if any.
I think focusing on endocannabinoids and the development of pharmaceutical drugs that target the endocannabinoids system strips away a lot of that controversy. There’s a lot of interest from multiple major pharmaceutical companies, as they can be seen as bypassing the cannabis route and going for endocannabinoids.
For the research that we do, it relates a lot more to that. We think that our data may help explain some of the cannabis effects in humans that some individuals have reported, but we are much more focused on endocannabinoids, and so it’s a little less controversial.
Looking ahead, do you think we are likely to see more treatments, perhaps harnessing these endocannabinoids, | [

Took a last minute chance yesterday afternoon and headed out to try and catch something of the solar eclipse from here in Southern California. Upon reading the local news I took thier advice and stayed away from beaches that were said to be crowded and possibly foggy and headed inland to a favorite hiking spot of mine called Echo Mountain in Altadena.
Headed about half way up the mountain, just before it swept too far in and the higher altitude slopes would have obscured my view, and set up my 5D mk III, 70-200mm f2.8L and tripod along with some others hoping to catch a glimpse. Not much else to report really except we were not lucky enough to get the “ring of fire” as others could see, but it was still worth the hike and setting up my camera for.
Thank heavens for the live view function in my mk III, with my aperture at 32 and the shutter speed at 8000/sec I could make out the eclipse at the start quite well, watched the moon pass over the sun from about 4 o’clock (on the sun, not the time) through to about 11 o’clock but never covering it completely 🙁
The shot above is later on in the eclipse when we had had enough and were hiking back down the mountain, the sun was lower and not so bright, i spotted this guy on hill on his own watching, made for a fairly decent shot. Definitely the most extremely contrasted sky conditions I’ve shot it in, picture were over-exposed in the sky and under exposed on the ground so alot of tweaking in photoshop was required, above is the best shot of the day.

Under the No Child Left Behind Act, school districts must provide free transportation to students who wish to transfer out of failing schools and into better ones. According to the most recent state test results, 263 CPS elementary schools fell short of the federal law’s mandate for adequate yearly progress. Students who attend them are eligible to leave.
At the Chicago Board of Education’s request, state legislators voted to limit the number of choice schools by excluding magnets and overcrowded schools. Under the new state legislation, about half of the 241 elementary schools that are making “adequate yearly progress” could be off-limits, including 31 magnets, 27 severely overcrowded schools and 59 moderately crowded schools. | [

View the full lesson at Strumming Technique & Mechanics | JustinGuitar
What is the ideal pick for funk strumming? I think Justin is using a Jazz III, or something like that. Then there’s Nile Rodgers, who uses a soft pick. I typically use a Jazz III for everything on electric but I found a softer pick (0.73) better for funk strumming. My buddy, whose a professional musician, tells me to stick with the thicker pick. Any thoughts?
me personally, and its just my opinion but i would say thicker because you want a brighter punchier sound that doesnt seem to come from a softer pick
Thanks for the response! It does make sense. | [

Join us this Sunday, October 30, at 7:00PM in Barnes Hall for a special performance by composer Jerome Begin and pianist David Friend (Cornell ’19). The duo performs their GRAMMY-nominated album, Post-, a 50-minute set of pieces for solo piano with live electronic processing. Each movement explores a different way of creating an uncanny valley-esque reality where human, acoustic aspects, and electronic, processed aspects interact and overlap in hard-to-define, disorienting ways, upending the conventions of traditional “solo piano music” while still retaining the piano at its core.
The music on this album came into its own after starting as a multidisciplinary collaboration and then unexpectedly shedding its skin. The project was forced into hibernation by a global pandemic, but has reemerged at a moment in which nothing and everything has changed. It pierces the willful suspension of disbelief that leads most piano recordings to strive to efface the layers of technology between the pianist and the listener. This music abandons the problematic myth of the solitary artist-genius and revels in a web of creative networks. Instead of trying to reify a particular ideology or style, it transcends boundaries as it traverses and imbricates a wide range of musical ideas, textures, and tropes. By immersing itself in these unpredictable waters, it develops a rethinking of what the piano can be and do in our time. It channels the intense creative power emanating from this disorienting cultural moment, a moment defined by the decay of the past and the abyss of the future, a collective moment of ___? | [

For as long as she can remember, Naomi Yasuda (@naominailsnyc) has been fascinated with art. A native of Japan, she showed a predisposition for detail and creativity at an early age as she patiently watched her grandmother, a kimono tailor, create intricate designs on fabric. Eventually, Yasuda channeled those talents into a different art: nail design.
“I started painting my sisters’ and friends’ nails,” says Yasuda. “They really liked what I did and I felt I was very good at it, so I enrolled in Chunichi Beauty College in Nagoya, Japan, where I studied the art of the manicure and nail design.”
After graduating, Yasuda packed her bags and headed to New York City, where nails are her canvas.
Clockwise: Nicki Minaj (Getty Images); one of Yasuda's nail creations; Vogue Japan; Glamour; Rita Ora (Shutterstock)
Word of her artistic skills spread quickly, and it wasn’t long before she developed a legion of fans (think: Madonna, Lady Gaga, Gigi Hadid, Rita Ora, Kesha and Nicki Minaj) who seek out Yasuda to create nail looks that are creative, colorful and accessorized.
“Coming up with nail designs is always a collaboration between me and my clients,” says Yasuda. “They often share their ideas or show me what they’re wearing, then I’ll draw inspiration from that, as well as from my surroundings.” Take Minaj’s look for this year’s Met Gala. “It synced up perfectly with her outfit and the event’s religious theme,” says Yasuda.
Her nail artistry has also been front-and-center in ad campaigns, including Kenzo Paris, Chanel and Fendi, and in films like The Hunger Games: Catching Fire and Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
Likewise, her work was featured in the exhibition, Beauty—Cooper Hewitt Design Triennial at the Smithsonian Design Museum, highlighting her influential role in the popularity of nail art. “That was a real high point and honor for me,” says Yasuda. | [

Kylie Jenner: “I Pay For Everything” After Kris Jenner “Cut Me Off” Three Years Ago
The 17-year-old is quoted as telling InStyle UK, “My mom [Kris Jenner] cut me off financially three years ago so I pay for everything – my car, my gas and food as well as my clothes.” The admission came during an interview about her fashion habits, and she notes, “There are so many outfits I bought in the past that I just think now are NOT cute – but there’s not very much I can do about it!”
But Jenner does give her manager-mom credit for influencing her style, even if she didn’t continue to pay for it. “I think my style is a little bit darker thanks to my mom,” says the teen. “There are a lot of skulls around her house and the furniture is mostly black and white. She wears a lot of black, too, and I think that’s definitely rubbed off on me.”
That’s not to say Jenner’s famous sisters haven’t inspired her as well. She explains, “I feel like I dress like Khloe on my down days and Kim when I’m going out.” And being on television has made the reality star all the more concerned with how she looks. “Sometimes I look back at myself on previous seasons of ‘Keeping Up With The Kardashians’ and think, ‘Why didn’t you let your hair down then, or put on something nicer?'” she confesses. “I think now I’m much more aware when the cameras are around and I do doll up a lot more.”
That applies to red carpet appearances, too. “I don’t get nervous when I’m having my photograph taken on the red carpet, but I am spending the whole time thinking about how the pictures are going to turn out, whether my shirt is too low, or whether my dress is the right cut,” she says. Just don’t expect to find Jenner in the gym. She tells InStyle, “I haven’t worked out in two and a half years. I’m living out my youth, not doing any exercise, and eating what I want, which is pretty bad.”
As Gossip Cop reported at the time, Jenner’s financial independence was a storyline on “KUWTK” earlier this year, when she was seen getting lectured by Kim about the responsibilities that come with owning her first home. What do you think of Jenner revealing she is not supported by her mother? | [

The Mount Hood Wilderness is a protected wilderness area inside the Mount Hood National Forest which is located in the U.S. state of Oregon. The area, covering, includes the peak of Mount Hood and its upper slopes, and ranges from temperate rain forests at the lower elevations, to glaciers and rocky ridges at higher elevations.Use Inspirock's suggestions to plan your Hood River trip and find the best activities and attractions for your vacation.
The wilderness wraps around the mountain from west to northeast, and borders Timberline Lodge and Mount Hood Meadows ski lifts on some of the south and east slopes of the mountain.
Journeys to the summit are popular, but are certainly not for everyone. Mount Hood offers experienced and novice mountaineers opportunities to traverse glaciers, snowfields, steep volcanic soil, and deal with rapidly changing and difficult to predict weather. More than 10,000 climbers annually make the attempt, making Mount Hood's summit the most visited snowclad peak in America.
Numerous trails circle the mountain, from Lolo Pass on the northwest (which the Pacific Crest Trail crosses) to Cloud Cap on the northeast to the ski areas on the south. There are several historic structures (predating the wilderness designation), one of which is the remains of a stone lodge near Cairn Basin on the northwest side. Numerous pristine areas are easily accessible, such as Elk Cove on the north side of the mountain near the tree line.

Snow Cycle Summary 2/19-2/21
Trying to sum up this last cycle. Let’s start with the rant about southwesterly storms. Hit or miss for us usually with warm temperamental storms that can pass us by. Or dump rain. Bottom line is any time there’s a pineapple express and they call for 2 feet here, take it with a grain of salt and watch it. No exception for the last storm cycle. Calling for the big one, we got a fraction of what they called for, 4 inches on sun and a called 7 monday morning. Don’t get me wrong, plenty in ev for an awesome day off and an interesting change in the snow stability, but give me the north westerlies any day of the week.
The storm started as warm and wet with promise got windy and stayed off our track, unusual as we have had the storm track on our side for the year. Wind picked up and it seemed the snow line for the storm stayed just to our south. I thought I actually saw the boundary of snow around Mt Massive on my way up to Benchmark on Saturday.
Sunday was a bit of a surprise, as I thought the storm had passed us by. The seven inches was light an fluffy and the strong southwesterly winds loaded ev in typical fashion, turning the seven into two feet in the zone, making the skiing excellent but touchy for Sunday and Monday. Upcoming are trip reports for the last three days… | [

I love my pet bunny and I love to spoil him with occasional treats. Below I’ve collected a list of my Holland Lop’s favorite snacks. All of these are zero effort and require little to no preparation, which means these bunny treats are not only a treat for Snoop (our Holland Lop’s Name), but they are a treat for us too because they are so easy!
But first, let’s talk about giving treats to your pet bunny.
Should You Give Treats To Your Pet Rabbit?
Pet bunnies can regularly have treats as part of a healthy rabbit diet, as long as the treats offered are lower sugar choices. Low sugar treats are fine daily, but high sugar treats should be limited to just once or twice a week, and even them limited to very small serving sizes.
Keep in mind, just like any other animal, your bunny shouldn’t have any more than a few treats per-day. Too many treats will not only make your rabbit fat and unhealthy but might spoil him so that he won’t eat his regular diet of hay and pellets.
We’re going to start this article with the higher sugar treats so you can really understand these higher-risk rabbit treats. Later on in this article, I’ll give you a list of low-sugar rabbit treats that our bunnies love.
Can Sugary Treats Give Your Bunny Diabetes?
While true diabetes (called Diabetes Mellitus) is rare in rabbits, obese rabbits who exhibit the symptoms of diabetes are very common. Symptoms of diabetes in rabbits include Excessive Thirst, Excessive Urination, Excessive Eating, and Lethargy.
A high sugar diet causes rabbits to become obese and exhibit symptoms of diabetes and in rare cases it even cause diabetes mellitus (true diabetes) where the pancreas doesn’t produce enough insulin. In both cases, it is likely that your rabbit veterinarian will suggest that you feed a healthier rabbit diet that includes limiting sugary treats. [Source]
Treats should be just that…a treat.
Make your bunny’s treats a special occasion that both you and your cute bunny will look forward to.
The Best Pet Rabbit Treats – The List Of Sweet Rabbit Treats
Homemade rabbit treats don’t have to take hours to make, there are already fruits that are perfect if you want to give your bunny a treat. Treats are an amazing way to train your bunny or reward them (for whatever reason).
Below is a list of my pet rabbit’s favorite sweet treats which I offer to him only once a week or less. Usually, I reserve these super bunny treats for special occasions, such as going to the vet or training sessions.
Like all rabbits, my pet Holland Lop (named Snoop) LOVES apples. You can give them fresh slices of apples, or cut them up and dry them if you want to store for longer.
We have a food dehydrator that I use to dry slices of apples for my pet rabbit. It just takes me a few minutes to slice the apples and put them in the dehydrator overnight.
In the morning I have a month’s supply of my bunny’s favorite treat!
P.S. Some people worry about their rabbit eating apple seeds. We had the same worry, so we did a lot of research and wrote an article for our website about rabbits eating apple seeds.
2. Frozen Mango
We live in the midwest, so we don’t have fresh mango, but we do keep frozen mango in the freezer for smoothies.
Every once in a while I share a chuck with Snoopy!
He LOVES mango especially in the summer when it’s really hot.
Similar to mango’s he gets frozen strawberries more often than fresh.
I can say with certainty that the wild rabbits love the strawberry’s in our garden! Snoop does enjoy the occasional fresh strawberry though 🙂
We have a chocolate lab that we train with treats, one day I was wondering what I could use to train my rabbit?
Then I realized that blueberries were the perfect shape and size! Snoop loves them, even though he’s not a very food driven bunny.
Bananas are an AMAZING fruit to give to your bunny, they love them every time. I think the reason rabbits love this so much, is because it’s the highest sugar treat on this list (more on that later in this article).
This is certainly a treat to offer in moderation!
If you wanted to do more than just give them some banana, you could mix mashed banana with oats and make simple bunny rabbit cookies.
Blackberries are a good option if you want to give your rabbit a special | [

Intrusive thoughts. Nearly everyone has them - the ones that come out of nowhere, elicit distress, and feel hard to control. Ever look down from a balcony and imagine yourself falling? How about being pushed off a subway platform? or dropping your newborn baby?
Certainly these are chilling thoughts, but what causes some individuals to become preoccupied with them, while others are able to let them go, just as quickly as they enter? This is a common question of most clients, especially those with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder.
Let's break this down and think about the function of our mind. It's job is to think. It has countless thoughts running through it all day long - some happy, some sad, some funny, some nerve-wracking, and some mathematical, such as when calculating how much tip to leave the waitress. We usually don't flinch at the happy and positive thoughts. It's the sad, frightening, and angering ones we don't like, and want to change. Unfortunately, we don't have a switch that can shut off our mind at will. We can't tell our minds not to think something.
I have found that many clients often strive for complete mental control - wanting to find the successful treatment or coping skill to rid themselves of unwanted thoughts and images. The more they try, the more they experience perceived failure, and the worse their anxiety and inner uncomfortable feeling becomes. They begin to believe something must be wrong with them, or that these intrusive thoughts must be a sign, a message... a warning!
Here's an at-home experiment to test this phenomenon of mental control:
Set a timer for one minute and try not to think about an elephant. Don't think about it's grey color, the elephant's long trunk, big feet, floppy ears. You are free to think about anything else you choose, but remember, no elephant. Ready....go!
What did you notice?
Would I be correct in that no matter how hard you tried, some aspect of that big, grey, floppy-eared elephant came through? The same applies with thoughts we don't want to have. We can't simply tell ourselves not to think about them. What we can do is learn to give those thoughts less power, less meaning, and less control over our present moment.
So...How do we do that? Here are a few points to consider:
1.) Recognize that not all of our thoughts are a reflection of our true self.
Just because you have the intrusive thought of jumping in front of a train, does not mean you secretly, deep down, want to jump and end your life. Just because you have an intrusive thought or image of dropping your baby, does not mean you are an awful parent who wants to do harm. All that thought means is that, well....it was just a thought!
2.) Understand that just because we think something, does not mean it is automatically true.
I have several clients who, when driving, hit a bump in the road, and feel compelled to drive around the block to make sure they did not accidentally hit a pedestrian. They often say that the thought they might have hit someone was so strong, that it must be an important thought - that it must be true. However, all that thought means is that, well... it was just a thought!
The same way we feel convinced a social outing is going to be boring, awkward, and long, when it actually turns out fun! The same way we feel convinced we're going to get in trouble by our boss, when we actually get praised for how we handled the situation. Remember, just because we think something, does not mean it is true.
3.) A vivid intrusive thought/image is not a premonition, or a warning.
Here's an exercise: Take a moment and have a nice, long daydream about winning the lotto. Think about all the millions of dollars that could be yours, and the new house you would buy. Think about every detail of that experience. Now, let me ask: Can thinking about that experience alone make it come true? Even if we are able to visualize every detail, as if it were real?
The same applies for frightening, intrusive thoughts. Just because we can visualize and feel every emotion of a negative, unwanted situation, it does not mean it is any more likely to happen than if we didn't visualize it. All it means is that our minds are thinking, imagining, and working.
So to answer the question: "What do intrusive thoughts mean?"
They mean absolutely nothing.

System IDEAL NEO 19
19mm high density Neopor system
Ultra low profile Neopor radiant heating panel system
The JUPITER IDEAL NEO19 system is a truly engineered underfloor heating system manufactured from injection-moulded, 240kPa compressive strength Neopor. Neopor is an advanced insulation that outperforms EPS of same thickness. Graphite is used during the manufacture of our heating panels to enhance their thermal resistance, also giving the NEO19 panel its characteristic grey appearance.
The NEO19 system at only 19mm in height is the slimmest, dry-installed heating system that still incorporates a 16mm PE-RT pipe.
The system consists of two panel types; one type for 250mm pipe centres and one type for 125mm pipe centres. Both panel types are manufactured with an integral 0.5mm aluminium diffuser plates to optimise heat output and ensure even heat across the floor. The channel within the aluminium diffuser plates is omega formed to provide better encapsulation the of pipe.
Being only 19mm thick the panel has a reduced R-Value of only 0.51m²K/W (125mm panels) and 0.55m²K/W (250mm panels).
250mm centre panels are made up of 8 segments which can be easily snapped to size along the break points. Similarly the 125mm centre panels are made up of 16 individual segments.
Both panel types measure 1000mm x 500mm.
Central Zone Panel
Edge Zone Panel
Panels to return the pipe and the end of a run are supplied with or without aluminium diffuser plates and are available for both 250mm and 125mm centre systems.
Unheated areas such as under kitchen cupboards, fitted furniture, baths and shower trays can be filled with similar, 30mm thick blank EPS insulation panels. Tailored pipe runs can be formed within these panels using a hot wire cutter if required.
The JUPITER multi-layer system pipe is manufactured in Germany to DIN 16836, carries a 10 year warranty and has a minimum design life of 100 years. | [

In many cases of computational sustainability, constraints on connectivity is a major concern. While designing a new wildlife corridor, the area is required to be geographically connected. Also in allocation of harvest of a forest, new areas which are required to be harvested needs to be connected to areas which are already been harvested. This helps in providing easy access to newly cultivated areas. In cases of town designing like in case of smart cities, connection of new homes to the prevailing utility infrastructure is very important. All these problems imposes multiple constraint to an area or a set. A common pattern is required to be drawn out of the available data with minimal cost. The application of connectivity constraint computing helps in these problem solving.
Global Connectivity Constraint Computing Market: Drivers and Restraints
One of the major drivers of connectivity constraint computing market is the growing investment in automated decision support system and security sector. The advanced connectivity constraint computing helps in optimizing an objective which is subjected to multiple constraint. This computing technique can be used for image recognition, network designing, geo spatial identifications etc. This tool reduces time of analysis and help in taking fast and accurate decision. Increasing connectivity and infrastructure development requires planning and designing. Also, faster adoption of smart cities and well-designed ecosystems have increased usage of this technology. The CCC helps in identification of low cost designing and thus reduces cost of production. Adoption of data driven decision systems will drive the demand for constrained modeling in various application segments. The absence of an alternative for CCC currently will drive the market demand for this computing during the forecast period of 2016-2024.
One of the major restraint of the global market for Connectivity constraint computing is the cost and time taken for data collection. This algorithm have been increasingly utilized in research organizations and internal usage to meet the demand for quicker solutions, well informed data driven solution and cost optimization. This advanced technologies reduces opportunity cost of a solution before implementation. Hence the cost of considering adoption of another network or designing framework is higher than the one evaluated with this technology. This acts as a driving factor for adoption of this tool in the market. Evolution of connectivity constraint computing requires huge development of software. With the growing need for modification and advancement of software, it is expected that global market for Connectivity constraint computing would expand during the forecast period. It is an essential property in several problems related to ecosystem design such as understanding of sub graphs from layers of graphs. This helps in identification of original pattern in the data sets.

In order to investigate the mechanical behaviours of heated rocks, Uniaxial compression tests are carried out on 4 kinds of typical rock types as AKIYOSHI marble, INADA granite, OGINO tuff and EMOCHI welded tuff under room temperature (20℃), 150℃, 450℃ and 600℃. From these tests, the following results are obtained. The mechanical behaviours of heated rocks are very different with each rock type. On AKIYOSHI marble and INADA granite, compressive strength and secant Youngs modulus take larger values as temperature rises. The former rock indicates ductility over 300℃, and the latter rock yields at 600℃ by only temperature before the axial load is applied. On OGINO tuff, the values of compressive strength and secant Young's modulus are slightly smaller to 300℃ as temperature goes up, and these values are larger over 300℃. On EMOCHI welded tuff, these values are larger with rising temperature. Also, the value of strain at failure point becomes larger as temperature is higher, except EMOCHI welded tuff. | [

• Amazing icebergs
Icebergs - a block of ice, broken away from the ice sheets and ice shelves. Most of the icebergs formed by cleavage. Age icebergs can reach hundreds of thousands of years.
Some icebergs are formed due to the solid precipitation that falls over the years, and lie on the surface billions of snow crystals, which, like a mirror, reflecting sunlight. Others are derived from the frozen water. In the interior of glaciers contains a lot of air bubbles.
Beautiful blue stripes that decorate the surface of some icebergs are the result of re-freezing of melt water, which has already managed to fill all the old cracked iceberg. Ice surface absorbs sunlight, reflecting the blue waves. Peerless blue icebergs change the color saturation and hue depending on the angle of incidence of sunlight.

During the early afternoon of June 29, 2012, a line of destructive thunderstorms producing straight line winds known as a derecho developed near Chicago (Illinois, USA). The storm moved southeast with wind speeds recorded from 100 to 160 kilometers per hour (kph, 60 to 100 miles per hour [mph]). The storm swept across much of West Virginia (USA) later that evening. Power outage was substantial as an estimated 1,300,000 West Virginians (more than half) were without power in the aftermath of the storm and approximately 600,000 citizens were still without power a week later. This was one of the worst storms to strike this area and occurred as residents were enduring a prolonged heat wave. The wind damage left much of the community without electricity and the crippling effect compromised or destroyed critical infrastructure including communications, air conditioning, refrigeration, and water and sewer pumps. This report describes utilization of Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and hospital resources in West Virginia in response to the storm. Also reported is a review of the weather phenomena and the findings and discussion of the disaster and implications.

The ground is dry; the foliage is a brilliant, verdant green; and the sun is finally winning its annual battle with the clouds. With the fresh air calling, it’s the perfect time to climb waterfalls.
‘Tis the season
Its springtime. And the weather is finally pleasant enough to venture back outside from our stuffy winter cubbyholes.
I love spring in the Pacific Northwest because it’s finally dry enough to go exploring, yet we’re still recent enough from the winter rains so as to leave us in a green wonderland. It’s also still early enough that a full hiking day is reasonable without melting under a scorching summer afternoon sun.
Yes, autumn may forever be my favorite season, but spring holds a close second in my heart.
As I mentioned last week, this is also the prime time for epic Duane-ventures. We wander out almost every weekend from now until the rains scare us back inside, exploring the next untamed trail.
There’s almost always a waterfall involved (this region is like a Swiss cheese water balloon with how many streams, rivers, creeks, fountains, springs, and cascading liquid we have seeping out of the ground). Usually, we just chase the waterfalls. We follow them to discover their hidden gems. Occasionally, we splash in their waters, wading out to get the optimal vantage.
And sometimes, we climb up them.
This was a Duane-venture in its entirety. It’s not good enough for us to follow a well-established trail to a frequently visited falls. We made the obligatory journey to the main falls for posterity, but then we left the primary trail behind and embarked on the real adventure.
The side trail was still clear enough to follow as it quickly ascended the hillside, and before we knew it, the falls were far below us. The path leveled out to run parallel to the creek, a pleasant course that wended gently between the trees.
But we feared we were missing the adventure below, letting all the best waterfalls pass unappreciated and unphotographed. This wouldn’t fly for a true Duane-venture, so what better than to abandon the trail altogether and slide our way down to the water’s edge?
Trails? Where we’re going, we don’t need.. trails.
With the help of many veggie-belays (life-vines?), we arrived back at the creek we never should have left. We were handsomely rewarded with the classic treasure of the Pacific Northwest: roaring water to soothe the senses and vibrant colors to delight the soul.
Rocks in all directions invited us to clamber along the banks and hop across the water for a better view of the waterfalls ahead.
I desperately wanted to follow some of my fellow adventurers across a particularly wide gap in the rocks for a more picturesque vantage (anything for a photo!), but I’m sadly much shorter than my cohorts, and I couldn’t get the image of my slipping and crashing into the water (camera in-hand) out of my head. So I spared my equipment and my embarrassment (and much to Aaron’s disappointment, his capturing some viral footage), and took the “easy way” around the waterfall.
Whatever could be called a path at this point hugged the shore and climbed the ridge to the next falls in the series. It ended at a pool, where we were forced to bust out the water shoes. The water was a refreshing Oregon spring chilly, but it wasn’t anywhere near as frigid as the bone-numbing Red River in Alaska.
Then, the “path” went the only way it could: up.
Up rocks, up fuzzy, mossy knolls, up the waterfall.
The camera had to be strapped down, because we employed all four limbs to haul ourselves up several hundred feet. It was more akin to rock climbing than hiking at this point; I missed the ropes of our last excursion.
More than once, I felt grateful we intended to cross the water farther up and make a loop out of this trek, as I did not want to go back down the way we came.
We finally summited another waterfall, and we were greeted by the view of the next. We took a short break, then pressed on.
It was about this point that any semblance of a trail evaporated. Our adventure turned to true bushwhacking, and it was rough going. The underbrush grew thicker, and the hillside rose steeper.
I worried about the sanity of this endeavor. After all, I’ve climbed waterfalls before, and I considered myself fairly foolish for doing so. I then followed a fellow hiker straight up a grassy mountainside only to find the trail would have much more easily taken us to the same | [

“Sustainable farming” is a practice that began in the 1970s to prove that conventional agricultural practices are not sustainable anymore. Sustainable farming has traditionally been used to describe any type or form of farming method using fewer chemicals and other resources such as land than conventional methods.
In recent years, the term “sustainable” has gained popularity and is currently used to express various concepts. However, what exactly is sustainable agriculture? Sustainable agriculture produces plant and animal products, including food, using farming methods that safeguard the environment, public health, communities, and animal welfare.
Sustainable agriculture enables agricultural outputs in such a way that they can be continued for generations. Sustainable agriculture is about long-term viability and inherently supporting the planet rather than providing immediate yields.
Fundamentals of Sustainable Agriculture
There are several aspects to sustainability. For example, environmental sustainability entails proper stewardship of the natural systems and resources on which farmers rely. This includes the following:
- Maintaining healthy soil and avoiding erosion
- Managing water intelligently
- Efforts to reduce pollution in the air and water
- Restoration and enhancement of the natural ecology
- Community sustainability includes protecting the social and cultural environments, with an emphasis on equity and justice
- Social sustainability: involves fair treatment of workers, including compensation for their labor.
- Strengthening resistance to adverse climatic conditions
- Increasing biodiversity
An economically and socially sustainable agriculture system allows farms of all sizes to succeed and contribute to the local economy. Such a system would help the next generation of farmers treat its employees properly, promote racial fairness and justice, ensure everyone has access to nutritious food, and put individuals and communities ahead of corporate interests.
Sustainable Agriculture Practices
Decades of research and practice have shown the following agricultural techniques to be beneficial in ensuring sustainability, mainly when used in combination:
1. Crop Rotation
Crop rotation is one of the most useful sustainable agricultural practices. Its objective is to avoid the adverse effects of growing the same crops in the same soil year after year. It aids in pest control, as many bugs favor particular crops. If the pests have a constant food source, they can significantly expand their population.
Rotation disrupts pest reproduction cycles. During crop rotation, farmers can sow certain plants that replenish plant nutrients. These plants lead to reducing the use of chemical fertilizers.
Permaculture is a way to grow food that plans, designed, and smartly farmed to decrease waste and make production more efficient. Permaculture design techniques include:
- Growing grain without tilling the soil.
- Making herb and plant spirals.
- Hugelkultur garden beds.
- Keyhole and mandala gardens.
- Sheet mulching.
- Ensuring each plant has more than one use and constructing swales on contour to store water.
It emphasizes the use of perennial crops such as fruit trees, nut trees, and bushes to work in a planned system that imitates how plants in a natural ecosystem would function. This may be done by planting them in a way that allows them to grow with one another.
3. Cover Crops
Cover crops are planted to prevent soil erosion, maintain fertility, and increase organic matter in the soil.
Cover crops preserve and improve the quality of the soil by halting soil erosion, restocking depleted soil nutrients, and suppressing the growth of weeds, lowering the demand for fertilizers and pesticides.
4. Soil Enrichment
The goal of soil enrichment is to add organic matter to the soil and increase the amount of nitrogen and phosphorus available, which plants use for growth. This can be accomplished by growing cover crops, planting residue from previous crops, and composting manure.
Using a variety of plant residues also increases soil organic matter, which is beneficial for several reasons. It improves soil structure by providing pore space for air and water to move around. This enables better water retention and makes it more suitable for growing crops.
5. Natural Pest Predators
Rather than considering the farm as a factory, it is crucial to consider it an ecosystem so that you can effectively manage pests on the property. For instance, many birds and other animals serve as natural predators of agricultural pests.
Natural pest predators are beneficial insects that protect the farm from common pests. For example, ladybugs, lacewings, and certain insect predators eat aphids and save the farm from damage.
6. Polyculture Farming
It means growing over one kind of crop in the same area. These plants often work well together, and one plot can be used to make a broader range of products while using all of the available resources. High biodiversity makes the system more resistant to changes in the weather.
Agroforestry is a way to put trees on farms and make them more productive permanently. This practice is especially beneficial in areas where there are scarce resources, as well as in areas where a lot of wood is needed. It has many | [

EC-1500 OPERATION TANK DROP!
The aerobatic cargo plane has been kind of a thing lately and upon seeing the E-flite EC-1500 twin 1.5m Cargo, it most definitely looked like a fun airplane. Being fully aerobatic with reconfigurable ailerons and flaps to suit the desired performance and aircraft response along with an operational cargo door, there was no question I would have fun with one in the hangar! And, I KNEW that I had to drop something…the only question was what would it be?! 😉
Though the model isn’t painted in a scale paint scheme out of the box, the model itself is actually inspired by the C-27 Spartan which has served in the US military and Coast Guard as well as many other forces around the world. Truth be told, I wasn’t too aware of the C-27 Spartan as an aircraft, but I quickly learned through watching videos of the full scale online that it was an impressive beast. It’s is the only cargo aircraft I’ve actually seen execute a legitimate knife edge and it’s pretty awesome to behold! So, as it turns out, those epic knife edge passes with this airplane are indeed scale! 😉 Oh, and you’ve probably noticed the C-27 Spartan livery on the model…I couldn’t handle it, I had to make it a true C-27 and I love it!
AIRCRAFT ASSEMBLY NOTES
The EC-1500 assembly was a very simple process as the parts count is very low being broken down into only the large components. The vertical tail is attached first and is held in place by two screws. From there, the horizontal tails slide into place over a carbon tube spar and snap into place. I found the snap lock on the tails a really unique features as I’d not seen this before on previous models. Also, there is an elevator torque rod with plastic paddles which slip into each base of the elevators resulting in a hidden elevator pushrod setup. Next, the wings are placed onto the fuselage over the main wing spar and held in place via four nylon bolts. The wing features hard mounted connectors, so no need to keep track of servo connectors or wires at all. Lastly, to wrap it all up, the props are placed on each of the motors.
With the airplane together and on the bench, it’s a pretty cool model to behold. It’s a good size and the cargo bay door is awesome! I can’t say I’m a fan of the stock paint scheme (hence the repaint), but there’s no question as to whether or not the airplane is easy to see in the air. 😉 It’s a faux Coast Guard scheme which definitely works though as the C-27 is currently being operated by the USCG.
There are a couple things to note related to the assembly. First of all, the ailerons and flaps are reconfigurable on the wings to tune your desired style of flying. For me, I wanted the large flaps and so I configured small ailerons and large flaps. There are two plastic joiners to choose from which are held in place with tape. The model came with the large aileron setup, so removing the tape and swapping the joiners was required and an easy prospect.
Secondly, I noticed that the propeller collets when pushed all the way onto the motor shaft actually bottomed out against the motor can. So, when tightening the props down, I recommend sliding the collet all the way on and then slightly backing it away from the motor can so that the collet has room to really synch down hard. Otherwise, there’s a possibility that the collet won’t tighten fully and could result in the prop flying off.
A QUICK REPAINT
The truth is, the airplane didn’t stay in the stock paint scheme for too long. Being inspired by the C-27 Spartan, I really wanted to paint the airplane up as one. So, with the help of my son, we peeled the stickers off, applied a couple coats of minwax polycrylic, applied a couple coats of Rustoleum 2x primer and painted away. I used Rustoleum 2x Granite for the gray and 2x Black for the leading edges and then did a little weathering to finish it up. The markings I made myself out of clear water slide decal paper for the black markings and a laser printable white vinyl for the color markings. The window graphics came from Callie-Graphics. I absolutely love the end result as it really transformed the airplane for me! Here’s a quick video on the process we used.
AIRCRAFT SETUP & CG
Once the airplane was assembled (and subsequently repainted 😉 ), it’s all about the radio setup. This is the bind | [

About two hours ago he kicked it in, he said, in Arabic of course, “Fuck it, come on, we just can’t put anymore [money] in these cases, let’s split!”
One of the men he put in prison during his years on the throne with his hand firmly holding the keys to the national bank, was Ayman Nour, one of the senior leaders of the opposition. He wrote a letter to then Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice – never liked the bitch – which he implored the U.S. not to stand by and ignore his plight. He’d been placed in prison after being charged and found guilty of forging election documents. The following is from his letter via WikiLeaks. It’s so beautifully written, catch this excerpt…..
Nour, leader of Egypt’s El Ghad (“Tomorrow”) Party and a former presidential candidate, was imprisoned by the government of President Hosni Mubarak in January 2005 on grounds of forging election papers. In February 2006 Nour wrote a letter from Tora Ranch General Prison in southern Cairo that was hand-delivered to the U.S. embassy in anticipation of a visit by Rice to Cairo. A translated copy was sent by diplomatic cable (06CAIRO6171) to Rice by Francis J. Ricciardone, Jr., the U.S. ambassador to Egypt.
In the letter Nour reminded Rice that he had met her in 2005 when she gave a lecture at the American University in Cairo on democracy. He also noted that President Bush had claimed to the Wall Street Journal that the U.S. government had made a request to Mubarak to pardon Nour.
Nour opened with a moving plea to Condoleeza Rice: “From behind thick bars and a place beyond the sun’s reach, I welcome you. (B)ecause I am not in a position to present a flower bouquet with this welcome, as a token of friendship, I will attempt to present old and new quotes which will bear what I wish flowers would have borne and expressed.”
Nour went on to relate three anecdotes to explain the consequences of the U.S. ignoring Egypt. The first, an apocryphal tale from a Russian diplomat, suggests that Americans would not rescue a drowning man.
The second recalled Egyptian history: “The shouts of Egyptians during March and April 1919, when the first civic revolution in modern Egyptian history broke out, and the Egyptian masses were shouting for the life of two people — the first, the banished leader of the Egyptian revolution Saad Zaghloul, and the second, President Wilson who elaborated the Twelve Principles (sic), the most important of which was the right to self-determination. The second scene is the same masses shouting against Wilson when he acknowledged the British mandate in Egypt.”
In the third anecdote, Nour quotes Mostafa Amin, Egypt’s most famous columnist and journalist, who wrote in his book “Laughing America” the following: “The American loves speed, and that is the secret behind the alliance between American policy and dictatorships, but what it gains quickly, it loses quicker, for America ) despite its love for speed – is in the habit of missing the train, but then it notices and it runs after the train, it even buys a car especially for that purpose, but that does not help, so it buys a plane, and just like that it pays the price of the train doubled!”
“Maybe America gains a lot when it exports to us arms and cars or planes, but it loses more when it does not export the best that its civilization has produced which is ’Freedom and Democracy and Human Rights.’ The value of America is that it should defend this product, not only in its country but throughout the world! It may harm some of its interests, but it will make gains that will live hundreds of years, for the friendship of peoples live forever, because the peoples do not die, but governments change like the winter weather.”

Missouri officials spar over job-creation tax breaks
Monday, January 9, 2012 | 3:06 p.m. CST
JEFFERSON CITY — Some Republican lawmakers are at odds with members of Democratic Gov. Jay Nixon's administration over whether Missouri's job-creation tax breaks have been a success of failure.
During a House committee hearing Monday, figures showed a wide gap between the number of jobs anticipated and those actually created by businesses approved for aid under the Missouri Quality Jobs program.
Committee Chairman Rep. Jay Barnes and Rep. Mark Parkinson pressed officials from the Department of Economic Development to acknowledge projects that have not created any jobs are failures.
But Economic Development officials refused to characterize it that way. They stressed that businesses have several years to follow through on their job-creation targets, and said some companies that have hired no one could still do so.

It is the dawn of a new college football season — and potentially a new era for the UConn Huskies football program. UConn ushers in a brand new head coach in Jim Mora Jr., and he hopes to inject some much-needed enthusiasm into the program. His first task as head coach of the Huskies is a road trip to Utah State to face an Aggies program coming off an impressive 11-3 season under the leadership of head coach Blake Anderson.
Anderson helped turn the fortunes of Utah State around in a hurry. After inheriting a program that won just one game in the season before his arrival, Anderson coached Utah State to an 11-win season capped with a surprising Mountain West Conference Football Championship Game victory over San Diego State and a victory in the LA Bowl over Oregon State. Can the Aggies roll up their sleeves and do it again now that the conference has been put on notice?
UConn at Utah State
Kickoff: Saturday, Aug. 27 at 4 p.m. ET
Spread: Utah State -27
When UConn Has the Ball
UConn's offense will be put in the hands of Penn State transfer quarterback Ta'Quan Roberson, whose only significant playing time with the Nittany Lions came in relief of an injured Sean Clifford on the road against a feisty and aggressive Iowa defense. Utah State won't be quite the same level of competition, which should bode well for Roberson's confidence level.
Mora has some experience to work with on his roster on offense, although UConn still has a way to go before being much of a viable threat with the football. This should especially be true on the road in this spot. Still, the Huskies should be able to manage a few scoring drives, putting the game on the defense.
When Utah State Has the Ball
And unfortunately for UConn, the defense could have its issues keeping up with the Aggies. The Huskies ranked 115th in the nation in total defense last season and 105th against the pass. Utah State quarterback Logan Bonner threw for 3,628 yards and 36 touchdowns last season. He will likely cause plenty of headaches for the UConn secondary.
After ranking 15th in the nation on passing offense in 2021, the Aggies will aim for a fast start at home in their season opener. Several key pieces to last year's offense have moved on but Utah State still boasts plenty of talent in running back Calvin Tyler Jr. and wide receiver Justin McGriff. Several transfers could emerge as well with Bonner needing to find some new targets.
UConn is probably going to be a better team this season, but it will struggle to show that on the road in this opener against the defending Mountain West champions. The Huskies may hang with Utah State early on, but the Aggies' aerial attack will be too much to hold down for too long, and Utah State should be able to put this game out of reach after halftime. | [

You’re likely familiar with the federal tax reform law enacted in 2017. After all, it reduced tax rates for businesses and individuals, increased the standard deduction and family tax credits, and limited deductions for state and local income taxes and property taxes, among other things. However, you may not be familiar with a particular provision of that law, and related IRS guidance, that provides an opportunity specific to rental real estate businesses.
Voters will soon decide whether to increase taxes on improvements to buildings within the Los Angeles Unified School District, including apartments. On the June 4 ballot is Measure EE, which would levy a parcel tax of 16 cents per square foot of building improvements annually for 12 years. If approved, the measure is expected to raise $500 million per year for L.A. Unified, which is the nation’s second largest school district.
The California Apartment Association has offered its support for a bill that would raise the state’s renter’s tax credit for the first time in decades. “Housing costs are going through the roof in California, and families are struggling to pay the rent,” said state Sen. Steve Glazer, D-Contra Costa. Glazer unveiled the bill Wednesday with two principal coauthors — Assemblywomen Lorena Gonzalez, D-San Diego, and Sharon Quirk-Silva, D-Orange County, as well as 28 coauthors. The legislation, SB 248, would increase California’s renter’s credit for the first time in 40 years and would represent significant help to single parents in particular.… Read More
A CAA-supported bill that would increase the state tax credit for renters has advanced to the state Assembly. On May 30, SB 1182 by state Sen. Steve Glazer, D-Orinda, won approval on the Senate floor with 37 yes votes, zero no votes and two abstentions. The bill would increase the renters’ tax credit incrementally over a five-year span. “Under current law, homeowners in California receive state and federal tax benefits, as a result of owning their own home,” CAA says in a letter supporting the bill. “Renters, however, do not receive comparable tax benefits. It’s reasonable to provide renters, who… Read More
The California Apartment Association is opposing a measure that’s seeking to create one of the largest tax increases in state history. Assembly Constitutional Amendment 22 proposes to ask voters to approve a 10 percent “surcharge” on California employers. Companies with annual net income of more than $1 million that are subject to corporate income and franchise taxes in California would be required to pay the new tax. The tax proposal comes from Assemblymen Kevin McCarty, D-Sacramento, and Phil Ting, D-San Francisco, and has met fierce opposition from a large coalition of business groups, including CAA.
The city of San Jose has given residential landlords more time to register their properties with the city and to pay the related business tax, a move applauded by the California Apartment Association. The new deadline for residential rental property owners is June 30, 2018. After that date, interest and late fees will apply. Businesses can register with the city here.
It’s tax season, so we figured it’s a good time to remind members of two important tax-reporting requirements that can have rental housing providers seeing red if not done correctly. 1099 reporting A business that purchases services in excess of $600 from an unincorporated vendor must report that payment to the IRS and to the service provider on a Form 1099. With limited exceptions, payments made to corporations are excluded from 1099 reporting. A “business” includes a landlord or management company that is engaged in rental real estate as its trade or business for profit. Don’t miss your deadlines. Late-filing… Read More
State Sens. Holly Mitchell and Loni Hancock on Wednesday held a news conference on their bid to amend California’s constitution and undermine California’s Proposition 13. SCA 5 would assess commercial and industrial properties at their market value, stripping away property tax protections under the state’s landmark law. Under this split-roll, it appears residential property, such as rental housing, would retain the tax protections offered by the 1978 voter-approved proposition. Getting Mitchell and Hancock’s measure before voters in 2016 would first take approval by a two-thirds majority in the state Legislature. Support for splitting the tax roll in California, however, has… Read More
The California Apartment Association is working to defeat a November ballot measure that would levy unfair and exorbitant taxes that hurt both landlords and renters in Antioch. CAA’s campaign, dubbed “No on Measure O,” includes a coalition of seniors, homeowners and local business owners. However, this tax would not resolve the city’s chronic deficits — and is likely to be used for nothing more than City Hall salaries. Because Measure O was presented as | [

For Lackawanna County Commissioner Laureen Cummings, what culminated Wednesday in a shoutout from the world’s most powerful man began with a phone call from an unusual place.
“On Saturday, I received a call from the White House, and the girl that called said... the president had heard about my personal story and was very interested in relaying that story somehow to the public,” Cummings said Thursday, the day after President Donald Trump did just that in a speech on tax reform he delivered in Middletown, near Harrisburg.
“With us today is Laureen Cummings, a mother of four who owns a small staffing company that provides private nursing services and at-home care,” Trump said, shooting a thumbs-up in Cummings’ direction. “Laureen says that if Congress passes tax relief and reform, she will be able to create more high-paying jobs for health care workers in the Scranton area.”
Cummings, who attended the speech with her son and listened from a reserved seat near the stage, said she’d recently shared her story — that of a single mother turned small-business owner — during a leadership meeting at the Republican Party of Lackawanna County’s headquarters in Scranton. From there, her story was relayed to officials with the state Republican Committee and, ultimately, to the White House, Cummings said.
“I’m still in shock, to be honest with you,” Cummings said. “I couldn’t believe that the president of the United States just mentioned my name in an address to the public.”
As the owner of Lorimar Home Care & Staffing Services, an Old Forge-based business that employs about 10 people and schedules private, in-home visits with nursing staff, Cummings is confident Trump’s tax plan will amount to tax cuts for both employees and employers, allowing businesses to create jobs.
“The less money we are paying to the government, the more we are putting into increasing our businesses, and in the service industry that means people,” she said.
While Cummings didn’t get the chance to meet the president Wednesday, she said she appreciates how he uses personal stories of real people to pitch proposed policy — pairing the message of tax relief with individual examples of those who would benefit from it.
Being recognized by the president, she said, is an honor.
“I’m just a small-business owner from Old Forge, Pa.,” Cummings said. “It’s an honor. It’s definitely an honor, but I always tell people I do the best I can to follow what God’s plan is for me, but miracles do happen apparently, and that was one that I think is a miracle. I’m very honored and grateful for the opportunity, and I hope more people get to be heard like that as well.”
