Project management is at a crossroads: There is a pressing need to rethink the approaches used in initiating, managing and governing projects, programmes and change initiatives. The aim of this book is to progress the dialogue around project practice by shifting the focus from instrumental methods and prescriptive techniques towards a context-sensitive consideration of people, strategy and change.
Projects are initiated to deliver agreed outputs that can be translated into meaningful outcomes capable of satisfying the wishes and expectations for improvement and development. Yet, people, strategy and change, which are largely ignored by the conventional bodies of knowledge, are clearly central to the sustainable and enduring success of projects, efforts and initiatives.
The volume brings together some of the best writing by leading authorities on key topics including trust, ethics, people, psychology, requirements, project performance, audits, uncertainty, anti-fragility, strategic initiatives, governance, change management and commercial management. The collection offers an invaluable new resource for informed managers looking to engage with the latest thinking and research.

Basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) in patients with Gorlin syndrome have been reported to be extremely sensitive to Smoothened (SMO) inhibitors, a novel targeted therapy against the Hedgehog pathway, because of characteristic mutations in these patients. A few cases of disease refractory to oral therapy with SMO inhibitors have been reported in patients with Gorlin syndrome and nonmetastatic BCCs, but refractory disease in distantly metastatic tumors has not been documented in this high-risk group.
A man with Gorlin syndrome and innumerable cutaneous BCCs presented with biopsy-proven BCC in his lungs. After SMO inhibitor therapy, almost all of his cutaneous tumors shrank, but his lung metastases did not. These lung metastases remained refractory to treatment despite institution of a second SMO inhibitor.
Conclusions and Relevance
We report a case of Gorlin syndrome in a patient with metastatic BCC refractory to SMO inhibitors. Furthermore, clinical responses in this patient’s cutaneous tumors did not parallel the responses in the distant site. However, serial imaging after diagnosis of metastatic disease can be critical to monitor for response to therapy.
Gorlin syndrome, also known as basal cell nevus syndrome, is a rare autosomal dominant genetic disorder with an estimated birth incidence of 1 in 19 000 that leads to predisposition for multiple basal cell carcinomas (BCCs).1-4 The most frequently mutated gene in this syndrome is PTCH1, accounting for more than 90% of all patients with Gorlin syndrome.2,3 The disease also produces characteristic physical findings, including palmar pits, jaw cysts, hypertelorism, and frontal bossing.4 Only 3 cases of distantly metastatic BCC have been reported in the literature in patients with Gorlin syndrome.5-7 The BCCs in patients with Gorlin syndrome have been reported to have sensitivity to targeted therapy against the SMO protein, the downstream effector of PTCH1.8 Although it is known that locally advanced BCCs in patients with Gorlin syndrome can be refractory to (primary resistance) or regrow (secondary resistance) after Smoothened (SMO) inhibitors,9 neither primary nor secondary resistance has been described in distantly metastatic BCCs in this high-risk population.
We report a case of Gorlin syndrome in a patient with biopsy-proven metastatic BCC to the lung that was refractory to 2 different SMO inhibitors despite responses in his cutaneous BCCs. Because this is a single case report, no institutional review board approval was required. The patient provided written consent to have his case reported.
Report of a Case
A man in his 50s with Gorlin syndrome presented with innumerable BCCs on his head, neck, trunk, and 4 extremities. The largest BCC had been present for 18 months and was a locally advanced, ulcerated, left postauricular lesion (6.4 × 6.0 cm) that encased the facial nerve. The area of the locally advanced BCC had been exposed to radiation therapy 20 years earlier to treat other BCCs in that region. The lesion had continued to grow despite topical treatments with fluorouracil and nitrogen mustard. Computed tomography (CT) revealed that the underlying bone was not involved with the tumor. However, the patient reported that his surgeons had recommended against excision because of the extent of his disease and the risk of facial nerve damage and hearing loss.
The patient’s medical history was significant for stage 2 testicular cancer, diagnosed 10 years earlier, which was successfully treated with bleomycin sulfate, etoposide, and cisplatin. During this treatment, the patient noted incidental shrinkage of all his BCCs. However, this combination chemotherapy left him with persistent shortness of breath, neuropathy, and chronic renal compromise.
The patient’s metastatic BCC was first discovered 16 months earlier when he presented to his local emergency department for chest pain. As part of his evaluation, he underwent chest CT, which revealed nodules in the lung. Follow-up positron emission tomography–CT revealed increased fludeoxyglucose uptake in these lung nodules. Findings from a biopsy specimen of the nodules confirmed metastatic BCC (Figure 1). Because of the lack of good treatment options, the patient enrolled in a clinical trial (NCT00761696) of the SMO inhibitor saridegib (IPI-926) at 130 mg/d.10 All of his cutaneous BCCs shrank with saridegib. However, his metastatic BCCs remained stable in size on CT scans, indicating refractory disease. Sixteen months after initiating saridegib therapy, a new 1.1-cm, right, apical lung nodule was discovered on a CT scan, and he was discontinued from the study because of disease progression.

Handcrossbow, Repeating (4e Equipment)
From D&D Wiki
Simple Ranged Weapons
|Repeating Handcrossbow||+2||1d6||10/20||35gp||3lb.||Crossbow||Load Free*|
A rectangular magazine attaches to the top of this hand crossbow. A lever drops a bolt in place as a free action and then a trigger fires the bolt as a standard action. A repeating hand crossbow does not have to be reloaded as long as it has ammunition in its magazine. A magazine costs 1gp and holds 5 bolts. It takes a standard action to remove an empty magazine and load a new one. For all intents and purposes, a repeating hand crossbow is a hand crossbow. | [

Chennai: The Indian Space Research Oragnisation (ISRO) has begun 48-hours countdown for the launch of India’s Cartosat-2 series on Monday, which will carry 20 satellites slated for Wednesday.
According to Indian space agency, on Wednesday morning at 9:25 am India’s rocket Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) will lift from Sriharikota port in Andhra Pradesh.
The main purpose of this 725.5kg cargo rocket Cartosat-2 series satellite is to orbit for Earth observation.
The other 19 satellites weighing totally around 560kg are from US, Canada, Germany and Indonesia as well as one each satellite is from Chennai’s Sathyabama University and Collage of Engineering from Pune.
The rocket will blast off from the second launch pad with a total weight of 1,288 kg; this whole mission will finish in 26 minute.
The images which will be sending by Cartosat satellite will be useful for cartography, urban, rural, costal use, water distribution and many other applications.
On the other hand, the 1.5 kg Sathyabamasat from Sathyabama University will collect data on green house gases while the 1 kg Swayam satellite from College of Engineering, Pune will provide point-to-point messaging services to the HAM radio community.
Wednesday’s mission will be the first time the ISRO will be launching more the 10 satellites with a single rocket.
In 2008, the ISRO had launched 10 satellites with the PSLV rocket. | [

I'm not totally sure if this is a bug, or just something within the expected sphere of differences with floating-point math. It's just a bit surprising how it's triggered to me.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora 26 x86_64: g++ (GCC) 7.1.1 20170622 (Red Hat 7.1.1-3)
Fedora 26 ppc64: g++ (GCC) 7.2.1 20170915 (Red Hat 7.2.1-2)
Fedora 25 ppc64: g++ (GCC) 6.4.1 20170727 (Red Hat 6.4.1-1)
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Compile and run attached file using g++
2. Compile and run attached file using g++ -fPIC
3. Compile and run attached file using g++ -O2
4. Compile and run attached file using g++ -O2 -fPIC
On x86_64, all compiled versions return the same results that all match the expected values. On ppc64(le), everything works *except* -O2 -fPIC.
I'd have thought everything returns the same results, as happens on x86(_64). At most, I'd have thought an optimization option like -O2 or higher might cause differences. Or maybe -ffast-math, but none of these appear troublesome. It is only -O2 *with* -fPIC that fails.
It is FMA, contraction is allowed even without -ffast-math. You can disable it with -ffp-contract=off.
Yes, that is it! Still curious why it doesn't break except with *both* -O2 and -fPIC. | [

RHINELANDER, WI (WTAQ) - A Rhinelander man accused of shooting his uncle over household chores is due back in court a week from Wednesday.
23-year-old Marcus Alsteens completed his initial appearance Monday in Oneida County on charges of attempted homicide, endangering safety, aggravated battery, and causing injury by the negligent use of a weapon. All but the endangerment charge are felonies.
Authorities said Alsteens shot his 49-year-old uncle Justin Alsteens on August 12th in Rhinelander, and was later arrested near Eagle River.
The shooting victim was still in critical condition at last word at a Marshfield hospital.
Alsteens remains in jail under a $50,000 bond. At his next court appearance, a judge is expected to decide if there’s enough evidence to order a trial on the felony counts. | [

Enhanced View TFT Technology
Clear and bright displays in sunlight (T-EVT)
T-EVT(*1) is another innovative technology incorporating Tianma Japan' proprietary optical design which minimizes the surface reflection of ambient light. It is a transmissive LCD that produces high-contrast (photopic contrast) images even in bright outdoor light found on sunny afternoons. It features a wider color reproduction range than reflective LCDs, making it the ideal choice for bright, vibrant color displays. Thanks to a new advanced optical technology, our T-EVT LCDs are ideal for ATMs, measuring devices, vending machines, and other industrial devices subject to use in bright sunlight.

PTC revenue from desktop products, primarily Pro/Engineer, have been slow for almost a decade. Will Creo turn things around?
By L. Stephen Wolfe, P.E.
The forthcoming release of Creo marks the third development phase of Parametric Technology Corporation’s venerable Pro/Engineer CAD software. The second phase began with the announcement of Wildfire in 2001, which was PTC’s attempt to catch up with the technical and marketing innovations pioneered by SolidWorks and Solid Edge in 1995.
As shown in the above graph, despite the introduction of Wildfire and purchase of a slew of desktop software applications, PTC’s overall desktop revenue has risen at an average rate of just 1.5 percent annually over the past 10 years. The company has not rebounded after the recession, making this introduction especially critical for PTC.
Most of the Windchill sales I have studied suggest the bulk of PTC’s Windchill PLM revenues are derived from existing Pro/Engineer and CADDS customers. If PTC fails to reignite its CAD software sales, the growth of Windchill is likely to slow. Creo is PTC’s second major effort to turn around its CAD business. If it fails and present trends continue, PTC could be a likely candidate for acquisition and dismemberment. This fate has befallen other CAD leaders including Computervision, Applicon, Calma, and CADAM.
PTC hopes to accomplish the following objectives with Creo:
- Improve developer productivity by deploying programming teams in small groups.
- Accelerate the pace with which its core CAD/CAM applications are improved and new applications developed.
- Combine the benefits of both feature-based, dimension-driven solid modeling (pioneered by Pro/Engineer) and direct-face editing (employed by CoCreate) in a single product suite.
- Simplify the Pro/Engineer user interface by dividing it into manageable chunks.
- Rebrand its CAD software under a new label that doesn’t connote aging technology epitomized by both Pro/Engineer and CoCreate.
- Enhance the ability of PTC’s CAD software to work in heterogeneous environments with CAD models from other suppliers.
- Renew a sense of mission and excitement that have been lost since the early years of Pro/Engineer.
At its annual customer meeting in Las Vegas (dubbed PlanetPTC Live) June 12-15, PTC plans to deliver the first release of Creo. In October 2010 PTC had unveiled its plans for Creo, but the sneak preview has caused confusion among many customers, and technical details have been sparse.
PTC acquired CoCreate in 2008. At about the same time, UGS (now Siemens PLM technology) and Dassault Systèmes CATIA V6 were unveiling techniques to combine both dimension-driven features with direct-face editing in the same CAD package. PTC needed to offer a similar capability to avoid being technically outflanked.
Integrating two CAD systems with unique origins isn’t easy. PTC has opted to continue offering two distinct products (which it now calls “apps”): Creo Direct, with capabilities similar to CoCreate, and Creo Parametric, with dimension-driven features like Pro/Engineer that also permits direct editing of faces. Models created by the Direct or Parametric apps can be opened and changed by either program.
When models created in the Parametric app are opened in the Direct app, designers will not see the dimension-driven features. However, they will be able to perform direct edits on Parametric models as if they had been created with the direct application.
When a model created in the Direct app is opened in the Parametric app, designers will be able to convert some existing features, such as holes and slots, into parametric features. They can also add parametric features to the solid (as is possible with any feature-based modeler).
The tough technical aspect of this integration is how to handle changes to dimension-driven features that were made by direct edits. PTC has not said much about how it has addressed this problem. However, a short YouTube video gives a little insight into how PTC plans to reconcile direct and feature-based modeling:
When a file has been created either with Creo Direct or Parametric, it can be opened in Creo Parametric. If features have been added or changed using direct modeling, these appear in green in a “View Changes” list. The changes also are highlighted in green in a graphics window. The user has the choice of accepting or rejecting changes produced by direct edits. If a change is accepted, it becomes part of the feature-based model. If it is rejected, it disappears from the parametric model.

Saraki’s Investigation Not Personal – Magu
Mr. Ibrahim Magu, Acting Chairman, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, on Tuesday, said the ongoing investigation of the President of the Senate, Dr. Bukola Saraki, is not personal.
He said this while receiving award for Outstanding Leadership in Public Service by Euro Knowledge Group.
The Euro Group Award is the highest recognition for individual achievement and is awarded annually.
The award acknowledges and celebrates exemplary leaders that have made a significant contribution and positive impact in their specific industry.
“No, no, it’s not personal. I am not after anybody.
“Please, I don’t want you to personalise this. It is not different from other investigations we are doing,” he said.
When asked to comment on the statement by Saraki that he was being witch-hunted, Magu said “never.
“You invite people who have committed a crime, people who are corrupt.
“If you are not corrupt, you are not here.
“We do our homework very well: sometimes we conduct preliminary investigations for up to six months and such persons won’t even know we are investigating them,” Magu said.
He described corruption as “a national disaster and mother of all evils.
“If you remove disaster (corruption), you have a peaceful country.”
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that Saraki had recently come under pressure from the anti-graft agency.
The EFCC had confirmed reports that it had opened a fresh investigation into Saraki’s stewardship as President of the Senate as well as a probe of his earnings as governor of Kwara from 2003 to 2011.
Tony Orilade, acting spokesman, EFCC, said in a statement that EFCC was obligated by law to enthrone probity and accountability in the governance space and had supremely pursued this duty without ill-will or malice against anyone.
“It is in the interest of the public and for Saraki’s personal good that he is not only above board, but be seen at all times to be so.
“Indeed, all the instances in which the EFCC have had cause to sleuth into his financial activities either as a former governor or President of the Senate were driven by overarching public interest and due process of the law,’’ he said.
In his reaction, Saraki insisted that the action of the EFCC was a witch-hunt.
“Our attention has been drawn to the fact that the EFCC has marked certain property belonging to President of the Senate, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, obviously under the claim that they are subject of investigation.
“The action of the EFCC only reinforced our earlier stated position that their current investigation is mischievous, contrary to the tenets of the rule of law and only aimed at settling scores.
“The EFCC’s move to investigate him is a mere witch-hunt exercise, aimed at settling scores, laced with malicious and partisan motives,” Saraki’s Media Adviser, Mr. Yusuph Olaniyonu, said in a statement.

What does a Browning 1919 shoot?
The M1919 originally fired the. 30 cal M1906 (. 30-06) ball cartridge, and later the. 30 caliber M2 ball cartridge, contained in a woven cloth belt, feeding from left to right.
What caliber is a Browning machine gun?
The. 30 caliber Browning machine gun, used on a wide range of vehicles, became one of the most common vehicle-mounted secondary armament not only for the American military, but also the Allies at large.
How much does a Browning 1919 weigh?
approximately 31 pounds
The 1919 A-4 is similar to the A-6 rifle, with the exception that it has no buttstock and is intended to be used with a tripod mount. The overall length of the 1919 A-4 is approximately 39 inches. The weight of the unloaded weapon, excluding the tripod, is approximately 31 pounds.
How good is M1919?
It was very effective against personnel, and when loaded with armor-piercing ammunition, it was also effective against thin-skinned armored vehicles. In the air, the modified M1919 was called the ANM2. This variant was specifically modified for aerial warfare, boasting a blistering rate of fire at 1,200-plus rpm.
What is better MG42 or browning?
The MG42 was better and more effective than the Browning primarily because of the way it was deployed. Each squad had one (or the MG34). Later in the war the Germans fielded squads with two machine guns because they were running out of people.
How much does a 30 caliber machine gun cost?
Generally the rarer the firearm, the higher the cost, but even rather “common” machines such as a Browning. 30 caliber M1917 can today cost around $30,000 as can a live Browning Automatic Rifle.
Is it legal to own a 50 cal machine gun?
50 BMG (fifty caliber) rifles are illegal in California. They are prohibited by Penal Code 30610 PC and Penal Code 30600 PC, California’s law on assault weapons. In fact, “BMG” stands for Browning Machine Gun. So as far as California law is concerned, they are a type of assault weapon.
Is the M1919 still in service?
M1919. An air-cooled version of the M1917 that served US troops well in World War I, it saw extensive use in World War II and Korea. The M1919 was phased out in favor of the new M60 in the late 1950s.
Is the M1919 Browning still in service?
It was adapted to be used in vehicles, mounted on aircraft and even used in anti-aircraft roles. More than 100 years later the M1919 still remains in use in a secondary role across the globe.
Does the US military still use the M1919?
How effective is MG42?
The reality was that the German MG42, firing up to 1,800 rounds per minute, bit hard. It was widely considered to be the deadliest, and most effective gun in European theatre at the time. As a measure of its enduring success, today, Germany and 30 other countries still use ‘Hitlers Buzz-saw’.
Is the Browning Model 1919 the greatest machine gun of all time?
“When it comes to machine guns, really, no gun has a track record like the Browning Model 1919,” American Rifleman Editor-in-Chief Mark Keefe said. “Developed in the 1920s, it saw service through World War II and was used by the infantry, on tanks and in aircraft.”
What was the original design of the Browning Browning machine gun?
The gun’s original design was as a water-cooled machine gun (see the M1917 Browning machine gun ). When it was decided to try to lighten the gun and make it air-cooled, its design as a closed bolt weapon created a potentially dangerous situation.
What kind of gun is a Browning M1919?
M1919 Browning machine gun. The M1919 was an air-cooled development of the standard US machine gun of World War I, the John M. Browning -designed water-cooled M1917. The emergence of general-purpose machine guns in the 1950s pushed the M1919 into secondary roles in many cases, especially after the arrival of the M60 in US Army service.
What is the difference between a 1917 and a 1919 Browning gun?
“The Browning 1919 is really an upgraded version of the Browning 1917 that was water-cooled, but the 1919 was an air-cooled gun,” said NRA Museums Senior Curator Philip Schreier. “It’s the gun we see that’s mounted on the front of the tanks and on the | [

One of our specialties at Artistic Landscapes is planning and installation of Koi ponds. They can add a level of other-worldly beauty layered with elements of unique water-garden creativity and add depth to any landscape that leaves a permanent impression. Below are some considerations that we look at when planning Koi Ponds for our clients wanting to improve the landscaping of their Atlanta home.
Koi Pond Design Elements
Well-designed ponds can transport one into an oasis of tropical feelings and flowers. Location makes a big difference when considering issues such as maintenance.
Too many trees above your pond cause a collection of leaves or needles that can overwhelm. They also clog your filtration system. Shade is important for both your pond and fish health. Finding the balance will reap great reward. We will also make sure that your water pump provides a turnover rate for best results.
Koi Pond Predator Planning
For the most dynamic and successful ponds, depths should be enough to prevent predators such as raccoons from fishing for your new pets. Four feet deep and at least four feet wide make it almost impossible for creatures of the night to feast on them.
Planning for a Healthy Ecology
Pond plants can give the shade required if chosen carefully. Many lotus flowers and other larger more tropical plants stand high and bloom voraciously during their seasons. Tall standing plants also add an interesting texture. If your pond is located in full sunlight, you will need a shade arbor. Artistic Landscapes designs Koi Ponds that take all of this in to account and have a shape to support good water flow.

How VW test fixing is just the start of the car industry's problems
The revelation that Volkswagen deliberately circumvented emissions tests on many of its diesel vehicles has provoked a huge storm of controversy. This diesel deception has understandably angered car owners. And some have suggested that VW's management either must have known about the scandal, or effectively lost control of the company. Dr James Palmer writes for The Conversation …
Forget the Silicon Valley revolution: the future of transport looks remarkably familiar
From autonomous vehicles and the rapid rise of Uber to the global diffusion of bike-sharing schemes, transport is changing. Developments in information technology, transport policy and behaviour by urban populations may well be causing a wholesale shift away from conventional cars to collective, automated and low-carbon transport. Dr Tim Schwanen writes for The Conversation …
The TSU takes an interdisciplinary approach to the study of transport futures, drawing on relevant, state-of-the art developments in geography, environmental and transport studies, economics, sociology, psychology and the engineering sciences. We also draw on the full spectrum of available methods and underpinning philosophies for our research. For information on our current and future research, please see our Research Agenda.

Electric vehicle have become a common sight on streets today, and many people have started to enjoy the quiet comfort, getting used to charging at night and silently doing errands.
Electric vehicles are new enough to wonder, how long will they last? This is not a simple question, because it depends on chemistries, sizes, operating conditions, and pack configurations.
Most electric vehicle batteries are lithium based. When a lithium battery is charged and discharged once, it is called a cycle. Lithium battery capacity degrades as the cycle number increases. Battery cycle life is measured in cycles, with an industry standard of cycles to 80% capacity often used as a benchmark. What makes lithium batteries last a long time? Let’s turn that upside down. What shortens lithium battery life?
- High temperatures.
- Overcharging or high voltage.
- Deep discharges or low voltage.
- High discharges or charge current.
Overcharging at high temperatures — what does that mean? When a lithium battery is charged, its voltage goes up slowly. When it reaches full charge, battery voltage is highest, and will not go up much more. The max voltage (V) varies with lithium cell chemistry. Chemistries ranging from laptop batteries to power tools using lithium-cobalt blends and blends containing manganese, nickel, and aluminum have terminal voltages around 3.9 to 4.2V. Lithium-titanate batteries charge to 2.85V. Lithium-iron-phosphate batteries charge to about 3.65V.
Lithium battery voltage must be prevented from exceeding this voltage because it not only ruins battery life; it can lead to battery destruction or overheating and fire in some lithium batteries. Battery management systems (BMS) are used to control charging voltage so that the max charging voltage and temperature is never exceeded.
High voltage also leads to another limit, called calendar life. When foreign matter builds up, it prevents the flow of ions at the electrodes. Lithium-ion batteries contain electrodes, conductors through which current enters or leaves the cell. In between the electrodes is an electrolyte, a solution used to conduct current between the cells. Conduction is achieved through exchange of ions between electrodes and through the electrolyte. The chemical interaction within the battery is called a redox reaction.
When a lithium-bearing electrolyte comes in contact with the electrode, it forms a layer. The interface where the exchange of ions happens between the electrode and electrolyte is called the solid electrolyte interface (SEI) and this forms an SEI layer.
Buildup of material blocks the flow of ions at the SEI layer at the end of calendar life.
The SEI layer contributes to internal resistance. As the battery ages, the layer increases and internal resistance increases. At some point, the layer becomes large enough that no ions can pass and the battery life ends. This kind of battery lifetime limit is worsened the longer the cell is kept at maximum voltage and high temperature. The idea here is to avoid maximum voltage and high temperatures for extended periods of time. Battery manufacturers are aware of this, and keep their batteries at states of charge of as low as 40% to maintain battery capacity during storage and shipment.
To increase cell calendar life, overvoltage and high temperatures must be avoided.
At the other end of cell voltage and charge, for maximum cycle life, deep discharge must be avoided.
The charge level in batteries is described in two ways. One description is called state of charge (SoC). If a cell is fully charged, it is said to be at 100% SoC. The other description is depth of discharge (DoD). If a cell is fully discharged, it is said to be at 100% DoD. That means a 100% SoC cell is the same as 0% DoD. SoC works like a fuel gauge.
For maximum battery cycle life, 100% DoD must be avoided. Researchers have found that improvements in cycle life increase non-linearly as depth of discharge is reduced. | [

Lower Bounds on Generic Algorithms in Groups
Ueli Maurer and Stefan Wolf
In this paper we consider generic algorithms for computational problems in cyclic groups. The model of a generic algorithm was proposed by Shoup at Eurocrypt '97. A generic algorithm is a general-purpose algorithm that does not make use of any particular property of the representation of the group elements. Shoup proved the hardness of the discrete logarithm problem and the Diffie-Hellman problem with respect to such algorithms for groups whose order contains a large prime factor. By extending Shoup's technique we prove lower bounds on the complexity of generic algorithms solving different problems in cyclic groups, and in particular of a generic reduction of the discrete logarithm problem to the Diffie-Hellmanproblem. It is shown that the two problems are not computationally equivalent in a generic sense for groups whose orders contain a multiple large prime factor. This complements earlier results which stated this equivalence for all other groups. Furthermore, it is shown that no generic algorithm exists that computes $p$-th roots efficiently in a group whose order is divisible by $p^2$ if $p$ is a large prime. | [

Unsteady hydromagnetic Couette flow of class-II of a viscous incompressible electrically conducting fluid in a rotating system with Hall effects in the presence of a uniform transverse magnetic field is studied. Both the fluid and plates of the channel are assumed to be at rest when time and fluid flow within the channel is induced due to non-torsional oscillations of the upper plate in its own plane with a velocity about a non-zero uniform velocity at time. Exact solution of the governing equations is obtained by Laplace transform technique. Asymptotic behavior of the solution is analyzed for small and large values of rotation parameter and magnetic parameter when time t>>1. The numerical values of the fluid velocity are depicted graphically whereas that of shear stress at the plates are presented in tabular form for various values of Hall current parameter, rotation parameter, magnetic parameter and frequency parameter. | [

Pressure and Force in Fluid Power Systems
Figure 2-9.Force transmitted through fluid.
Pascal was also the first to prove by experiment that the shape and volume of a container in no way alters pressure. Thus in figure 2-8, if the pressure due to the weight of the liquid at a point on horizontal line H is 8 psi, the pressure is 8 psi everywhere at level H in the system. Equation 2-5 also shows that the pressure is independent of the shape and volume of a container. of this in the system shown in figure 2-9. If there is a resistance on the output piston and the input piston is pushed downward, a pressure is created through the fluid, which acts equally at right angles to surfaces in all parts of the container. If force 1 is 100 pounds and the area of the input piston is 10 square inches, then the pressure in the fluid is 10 psi
Recall that, according to Pascals law, any force applied to a confined fluid is transmitted in all directions throughout the fluid regardless
NOTE: Fluid pressure cannot be created without resistance to flow. In this case, resistance
Figure 2-8.Pressure relationship with shape.
is provided by the equipment to which the output piston is attached. The force of re-sistance acts against the top of the output piston. The pressure created in the system by the input piston pushes on the underside of the output piston with a force of 10 pounds on each square inch.
In this case, the fluid column has a uniform cross section, so the area of the output piston is the same as the area of the input piston, or 10 square inches. Therefore, the upward force on the output piston is 100 pounds (10 psi x 10 sq. in.), the same as the force applied to the input piston. All that was accomplished in this system was to transmit the 100-pound force around the bend. However, this principle under-lies practically all mechanical applications of fluid power.
At this point you should note that since Pascals law is independent of the shape of the container, it is not necessary that the tube connecting the two pistons have the same cross-sectional area of the pistons. A connection of any size, shape, or length will do, as long as an unobstructed passage is provided. Therefore, the system shown in figure 2-10, with a relatively small, bent pipe connecting two cylinders, will act exactly the same as the system shown in figure 2-9.
MULTIPLICATION OF FORCES. Con-sider the situation in figure 2-11, where the input piston is much smaller than the output piston. Assume that the area of the input piston is 2 square inches. With a resistant force on the output piston a downward force of 20 pounds acting on the input piston creates a pressure of ~ or 10 psi
Figure 2-10.Transmitting force through a small pipe.
Figure 2-11.Multiplication of forces.
in the fluid. Although this force is much smaller than the force applied in figures 2-9 and 2-10, the pressure is the same. This is because the force is applied to a smaller area.
This pressure of 10 psi acts on all parts of the fluid container, including the bottom of the output piston. The upward force on the output piston is 200 pounds (10 pounds of pressure on each square inch). In this case, the original force has been multiplied tenfold while using the same pressure in the fluid as before. In any system with these dimensions, the ratio of output force to input force is always ten to one, regardless of the applied force. For example, if the applied force of the input piston is 50 pounds, the pressure in the system will be 25 psi. This will support a resistant force of 500 pounds on the output piston.
The system works the same in reverse. If we change the applied force and place a 200-pound force on the output piston (fig. 2-11), making it the input piston, the output force on the input piston will be one-tenth the input force, or 20 pounds. (Sometimes such results are desired.) Therefore, if two pistons are used in a fluid power system, the force acting on each piston is directly proportional to its area, and the magnitude of each force is the product of the pressure and the area of each piston.
Note the white arrows at the bottom of figure 2-11 that indicate up and down movement. The movement they represent will be explained later in the discussion of volume and distance factors.
DIFFERENTIAL AREAS. Consider the special situation shown in figure 2-12. Here, a single piston (1) in a cylinder (2) has a piston rod (3) attached to one of its sides. The piston rod extends out of one end of the cylinder. Fluid under pressure is admitted equally to both ends of the cylinder. The opposed faces of the piston (1 | [

Clostridioides difficile infections (CDI) are the leading cause of nosocomial antibiotic-associated diarrhea. C. difficile produces dormant spores that serve as infectious agents. Bile salts in the gastrointestinal tract signal spores to germinate into toxin-producing cells. As spore germination is required for CDI onset, anti-germination compounds may serve as prophylactics. CamSA, a synthetic bile salt, was previously shown to inhibit C. difficile spore germination in vitro and in vivo. Unexpectedly, a single dose of CamSA was sufficient to offer multi-day protection from CDI in mice without any observable toxicity. To study this intriguing protection pattern, we examined the pharmacokinetic parameters of CamSA. CamSA was stable to the gut of antibiotic-treated mice but was extensively degraded by the microbiota of non-antibiotic-treated animals. Our data also suggest that CamSA’s systemic absorption is minimal since it is retained primarily in the intestinal lumen and liver. CamSA shows weak interactions with CYP3A4, a P450 hepatic isozyme involved in drug metabolism and bile salt modification. Like other bile salts, CamSA seems to undergo enterohepatic circulation. We hypothesize that the cycling of CamSA between the liver and intestines serves as a slow-release mechanism that allows CamSA to be retained in the gastrointestinal tract for days. This model explains how a single CamSA dose can prevent murine CDI even though spores are present in the animal’s intestine for up to four days post-challenge.Copyright © 2020 Elsevier Inc.

The Well extends 8,500 feet below the surface of the earth and is one of 115 storage 6 wells at the 3,600-acre Facility.
The Company is also very pleased to report a reservoir bottom hole pressure of 420 bars and that the static pressure recorded in the well correlates, in terms of gas gradient, with all of the wells previously drilled in the licence area. The combination of these factors together with the fact that none of the historically drilled wells on the licence have identified a gas/water contact, suggests the possibility of a significant gas column within a continuous extended structure. This structure may include and extend beyond the reservoir identified at TE2, some 30km to the North East. A further well (the Company's third well TE8) will be required at the edge of the potential structure to confirm this and is now being planned for later this year.

Mashable is the best blog a tech CEO should connect with. There are literally hundreds of books to sort through and you need to find books specific to what you are doing and what you will connect with.
Answered 11 years ago
The best books a Tech CEO should read are books that are relevant to being a CEO (and tech). Mike gave relevant advice about technology and Mashable...
A CEO is responsible for the vision of the company to be realized - thus I wild give him the book, "Start With Why" by Simon Sinek.
A CEO is responsible for the people (staff, customers and vendors) that he serves - thus I'd give her "Tribes" by Seth Godin
A CEO is responsible for financial results thus I would give him "Execution: the discipline of getting things done" by Larry Bossidy and Ram Sharam.
A CEO is responsible for the culture of the company thus I would give her "Delivering Happiness" by Tony Hsieh.
There are many great books that one can read on the relevant subjects of Leadership, Culture, HR, Execution, Sales, etc... these are only a few.
It's wonderful to be a CEO of a company but it's a dead end job if the CEO is unable to inspire, lead and achieve measurable results.
Answered 10 years ago
There are several books that you take up for reading.
1. "The Creator's Code: The Six Essential Skills of Extraordinary Entrepreneurs" by Amy Wilkinson: This book is based on in-depth interviews with more than 200 entrepreneurs. Through her research, Wilkinson identified six disciplines we need to master to transform our ideas into real-world success.
2. "EntreLeadership" by Dave Ramsey: In this book, Ramsey explains how to work on your business instead of in it. He argues your company is only as strong as its leaders, and your team will never grow beyond you. " Highly recommend -- especially if you're in business for yourself.".
3. "Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap and Others Don't" by Jim Collins: Five years of research, 28 companies, and thousands of interviews allow the reader to learn what it really takes for a company to be exceptional.

Haydn – Symphony No. 2 in C Major
Written by Jeff Counts
THE COMPOSER – FRANZ JOSEPH HAYDN (1732-1809) – It was just prior to his 30-year service to the Esterházy family that Haydn began his epic courtship of the symphony form. From around 1758 he was employed by Count von Morzin of Bohemia and though it was to be rather short appointment (in 1761 Haydn would move on to the vice-Kapellmeistership at Eisenstadt), the Morzin period did yield the first 5 of Haydn’s staggering 104 symphonies.
THE MUSIC – Haydn is rightly credited as the “father” of the symphony but music with similar formal DNA was being written well before he began to build his catalogue. The “Classical” symphony would eventually develop, thanks largely to Haydn and Mozart, into a more the intricate four-movement standard we now associate with the core history of the genre but the tripartite Symphony No. 2 is a work tied to the expectations of the late 1750s. While true that Haydn’s most celebrated achievements as a symphonist began during his Esterházy days (starting with No. 6), it would be wrong to relegate his first efforts to history’s dustier shelves. His earliest symphonies are notable for their ready mastery of several pre-existing ideas – the three part (fast-slow-fast) structure, dynamic contrasts, and shifting instrumental combinations that grew from the “Italian” overture model of the early 18th century – but they also contain hallmarks of his singular contributions to the art form. Symphony No. 2 is both traditional and “modern” in the sense that it blends the expected lightness of its time with some interesting (and, in a way, more serious) compositional innovations. From the start, Haydn displays the signature wit and creative spark that made his later works so instantly recognizable and legacy-worthy. Prince Esterházy certainly saw something important in the young composer’s Morzin-period symphonies, important enough that he offered Haydn the most significant job of his life in 1761.
THE WORLD – 1761 was also the year of the third Pact de Famille between Bourbon rulers in France, Spain and Italy against Great Britain. John Harrison’s “Sea Watch” chronometer had its first transatlantic trial and the pencil company Faber-Castell was founded in Germany.
THE CONNECTION – Haydn symphonies are performed fairly often on Utah Symphony Masterworks programs but these concerts represent a premiere of the Symphony No. 2. | [

Applications of Coastal Radars for Monitoring the Coastal Zone.
Proceedings EUROMAR Workshop'99, 1999.
Published by: EUROMAR Office, Agência de Inovação, S.A.,
Av. dos Combatentes, 43, 10°C/D, 1600-042 Lisboa, Portugal, pp. 21...30.
Abstract - -
Coastal radars for monitoring the coastal zone have been developed for
some 20 years taking advantage of improved electronics and computer techniques.
The term 'Coastal Radar' is normally connected to High-Frequency (HF) radars
which use ground-wave propagation to remotely sensing ocean surface currents
and sea state over large areas. In a broader sense, also microwave radars
operated from the coast can be called 'Coastal Radars'. Microwave radars
have the advantage of simple installation, but do not cover the large
areas as possible with HF radars. As many applications need forecast
information, these 'Coastal Radars' can be used to measure maps of surface
current and wave spectra, which then are assimilated into models.

The Creamiest Vegan Coconut & Chickpea Soup
Nothing quite says comfort like a bowl full of soup. This easy-to-serve, slow cooker meal is the perfect recipe to whip up any day of the week.
This hearty vegan soup is packed with flavour and texture. I prefer to use full-fat coconut milk because it is richer and makes the soup luscious, but use low-fat if you prefer. This dish freezes and keeps well, but add the spinach and garam masala when serving, not before.
|Servings||Prep Time||Cook Time|
- 1/2 cup dry red lentils
- 540 mL chickpeas drained, rinsed
- 2 each carrots finely chopped
- 1 tbsp curry powder
- 1 1/2 tsp ground coriander
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- 2 cups water
- 400 mL coconut milk
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 1 pinch garam masala (optional)
- In a small bowl or measuring cup, cover lentils with cold water by at least 1 inch (2.5 cm). Rinse lentils and drain water, then add lentils to slow cooker. Add chickpeas, carrots, curry powder, coriander, ginger, salt, cayenne pepper and water. Stir well and pat into an even layer. Cover and cook on low heat for 4 hours.
- Uncover and stir well (the lentils should be smooth and dissolved). Stir in coconut milk and spinach. Cover and cook on low heat for 15 to 30 minutes or until spinach wilts. Serve sprinkled with garam masala (if desired).

For a first-time diner in Muikkuravintola Sampo, there's one must: you should order Vendace (muikku in Finnish) prepared one way or other. The restaurant has a long history and is well known for easy-going, somewhat bohemian (but clean) atmosphere. Vendace is, should we say, a national food for Savo region. If you don't like fish, you can do as I did the previous time: I ordered a grill dish. The meal was simple and tasty. Service has always been cosy and friendly. This place is sometimes full of guests, so I recommend an advance reservation for a group.

Copper is among the three most used metals in the world, and high quantities of the red metal must be mined every year to meet global demand. The market for copper is equal to approximately $120 billion each year, which rivals that of even iron ore, the most widely traded metal. This is because infrastructure, technology, and automobiles consume massive amounts of copper.
The problem is: copper is not being discovered fast enough to meet upcoming demand. A study by Wood Mackenzie found that there will be a 10 million tonne supply deficit by 2028. That’s equal to the annual production of the world’s biggest copper mine (Escondida) multiplied by a factor of ten.

New Delhi / Team Digital. Even though Irrfan Khan, one of the veteran actors of Bollywood, is not in this world today, his memories are still alive in the hearts of people. Today is the 56th birthday of Irrfan Khan, who made people crazy with his brilliant acting. The actor was born on 7 January 1967 in a Muslim family in the state of Rajasthan.
Irfan Khan had special interest in cricket
Very few people know that Irrfan Khan was interested in playing cricket before acting. But due to financial constraints, he could not progress further in this field. Disappointed with cricket, Irrfan wanted to try his luck in acting and he was completely successful in it. Irrfan made a special identity in the hearts of people with his lively acting.
The actor is very clear cut about his life. The actor has not only proved his acting prowess on the film screen, but has also inspired many people with his real life. Let us tell you that once he removed the word Khan from the front of his name.
Behind which he said that ‘I am only Irfan, only Irfan’. Also, the actor said about this that he does not want to make his religion, surname or anything else his identity.
Let us tell you that Irfan’s full name is Sahabzade Irfan Ali Khan. The actor’s fans still remember him for his acting. Irrfan started his career with a TV serial. After this the actor made his Bollywood debut through the film ‘Salaam Bombay’.
In his 32-year film career, Irrfan has acted in many films including ‘Maqbool’, ‘Billu’, ‘Paan Singh Tomar’, ‘Lunch Box’, ‘Piku’, ‘Blackmail’, ‘Hindi Medium’ and ‘Angrezi Medium’. Have acted. Irrfan Khan, who inspired others with his life, said goodbye to this world on 29 April 2020. | [

Business Services in Turkey
The industry contracted significantly in real terms during 2018, as the Turkish economy witnessed a currency and debt crisis, severely affecting the financial performance of local businesses. This occurred as the country’s debt-fuelled economic growth came to a halt, and the Turkish lira depreciated significantly. Consequently, local companies struggled to pay back their loans, especially as a large share of the country’s loans were issued in foreign currencies, making the repayments much more e...

Pelosi says US will continue to help Taiwan defend freedom in the face of aggression
The US authorities will continue to help Taiwan defend its freedom “in the face of aggression.” The speaker of the US House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, spoke about the relevant plans of Washington. RIA News.
The politician said that the American side confirmed the readiness of the Congress to support Taiwan. “America’s solidarity with the people of Taiwan is more important today than ever as we continue to support defense and democracy against autocracy in the region and around the world,” she said. | [

Summer has arrived, so it’s an especially good time to stock up on sunscreen, especially if you’re planning to spend time outside. But don’t forget to apply sunscreen for the drive; either unilateral dermatoheliosis, or skin damage on one side of the body, is an often overlooked consequence of riding in motor vehicles without proper sun protection. It serves as a reminder that ultraviolet radiation penetrates the glass in our cars, particularly the side windows.
The New England Journal of Medicine recently published a photograph of a 69-year-old man who developed unilateral dermatoheliosis from years of driving a commercial truck without sunscreen. The man’s right side had not been damaged as severely because it was blocked from the ultraviolet rays coming in through the vehicle’s window. However, the left side exhibits wrinkles, sagging and cysts from sun damage.
Cell damage from exposure to the sun can occur any time the sun’s rays make contact with the skin’s surface. Applying (and re-applying) sunscreen, wearing protective clothing, and limiting exposure to the sun is important during all seasons and even while driving. A good quality topical antioxidant, such as Skinceuticals Vitamin CE Ferulic or Phloretin, reduce the damaging effect of UV rays that get through a sunscreen.

Recently published research has provided yet another reason to take care of your skin. In a clinical study conducted in Israel, skin cells were used to help regenerate heart muscle. The research could help develop procedures that aim to heal and replace damaged heart tissue.
The study used fibroblasts, a certain type of cell that has plays an integral role in healing, much like collagen. The fibroblasts were re-programmed to regenerate as stem cells, and then researchers induced to become functioning heart muscle cells. Although normally operations like this run the risk of developing cancerous cells, researchers modified the cells by leaving out a specific gene linked to cancer.
The European Heart Journal published the research in late May, and the developments will likely spur on further research regarding skin cells and organ regeneration. Because the skin cells come from the patient’s own body, the risk of rejection is eliminated. For more information on keeping your skin safe and healthy, contact Zimmet Vein & Dermatology today.
Limiting added sugar intake is important for maintaining a healthy weight and preventing health issues like diabetes. New research is revealing that consuming too much sugar may be detrimental to your cognitive functions as well. According to a study recently published in the Journal of Physiology, a high-fructose diet negatively affects the brain’s ability to learn and retain information.
For the purposes of the study, researchers used high-fructose corn syrup, a sweetener that is much less expensive than cane sugar and is commonly used in processed foods. Before consuming the corn syrup, rats were taught to navigate a maze and remember paths. Then, researchers fed the rats for six week on a diet of either a high-fructose corn syrup solution or high-fructose corn syrup with omega-3 fatty acids, like those found in fish oil.
The rats that had not received omega-3 fatty acids displayed much more difficulty navigating the mazes after six weeks. The study suggests that the rats developed an insulin resistance that changed the way brain cells process information. The rats that took omega-3s performed better during the later trials, suggesting that the acids help to protect and heal brain cells.

Almost every day, scientific journals publish more research indicating that antibiotics are creating serious public health problems. While over-prescription of the drugs is the main concern, a new study has revealed yet another reason to take antibiotics only when necessary. The study, which will soon be published in the New England Journal of Medicine, links the “Z-Pak,” or azythromycin, to heart problems and sudden death in adults.
For individuals with no previously existing health problems, the risk of abnormal heart behavior is small. However, for patients with a history of heart disease, heart attack, diabetes or those who have had heart surgery, avoiding azythromycin may be necessary to prevent potentially dangerous abnormal heart rhythms.
The “Z-Pak” is normally prescribed to patients who are allergic to penicillin, but it is also used out of convenience because patients only need to take it for five days (most antibiotic treatments conclude after ten days). The study concluded that doctors should seek out a different antibiotic for individuals who have pre-existing health conditions, especially those with heart problems.
When doctors prescribe antibiotics for non-bacterial illnesses like colds or viruses, or when patients only take some of the antibiotics prescribed to them, bacteria evolve to become more | [

Legal challenge to decision to drop BAE corruption inquiry

7 June 2007
The Corner House and Campaign Against Arms Trade are to challenge the refusal of a High Court judge to grant permission for a judicial review of the UK government’s controversial decision to abandon its investigation into alleged bribery by BAE in its dealing with Saudi Arabia.
The refusal was based on a review of the written arguments submitted to the court. The two campaign groups have now applied for a hearing at which they will be able to renew their application orally.
The UK’s decision to terminate the BAE corruption inquiry decision caused international furore when it was announced in December 2006. The Government argued that continuing the probe might lead to Saudi Arabia withdrawing diplomatic cooperation with the UK on security and intelligence.
In April 2007, The Corner House and Campaign Against Arms Trade (CAAT) applied for a judicial review of the decision, arguing that it violated Britain’s international obligations under the OECD’s Anti-bribery Convention, to which the UK is a party. Article 5 of the Convention expressly forbids the termination of corruption investigations on grounds other than the merits of the case. There are no national security exemptions written into the Convention.
Despite acknowledging the
importance of the issues raised, the Hon. Mr Justice Collins has rejected the application.
It is clear that national security must always prevail and no State could be expected to take action which jeopardises the security of the State or the lives of its citizens, said the judge in a written statement. The full statement can be read as pdf.
Commenting on the decision, Nicholas Hildyard of The Corner House stated:
We are disappointed that the court has rejected the application but confident that we will receive permission once the full arguments have been heard in an oral hearing. We do not accept that the national security concerns cited by the government trump the Convention – and have yet even to see evidence that such concerns are even warranted. If national security is allowed to prevail regardless, then the Convention is dead, since governments will always be able to avoid potentially embarrassing investigations.
Symon Hill of CAAT stated:
"The new allegations of bribery make it even more essential that the SFO inquiry is reopened and light is shed on the payments to Saudi royals and officials by BAE Systems, whether these were made with or without the knowledge of the UK government."
The groups have now applied for an expedited oral hearing before the High Court.ENDS

A Q&A with Hamish Chamberlayne, Investment Manager for Henderson Global Investors. Tomorrow we’ll take a closer look at the SRI funds under his management.
1. What’s your name and what is your job title?
Hamish Chamberlayne, Investment Manager
2. When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
I wanted to be David Attenborough.
3. How did you get into fund management and sustainable, ethical or socially responsible investment specifically?
I have always been interested in thematic investing and in trying to understand the big trends that are shaping the world we live in. I started my investment career as a global generalist analyst before spending some time specialising in energy and resources. When the opportunity arose to manage a sustainable and responsible investment fund it seemed like a natural next step.
4. We “want the world to be as blue and green tomorrow as it was yesterday”. What’s your personal mission?
To demonstrate that sustainable and responsible investment makes sense from both a financial standpoint and an ecological and societal standpoint.
5. What one thing would you encourage readers to do to make their life more sustainable?
Invest in a sustainable fund – directing capital towards sustainable businesses can be a good way to promote positive change and has the potential to make money at the same time.
6. You’re made Chancellor of the Exchequer. What’s the central reform of your first budget?
I wouldn’t sell the government’s stake in the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS). Instead, I would work with the Bank of England to set up a new funding for lending programme targeting household renewable and energy efficiency investment. Despite the fact that many of these investments already make sense from a financial return perspective, too many households do not have enough income or savings to take advantage of them. My programme would give rise to productive lending, since it would enable households to reduce their energy costs; their additional disposable income would be used to pay down the loan. It would also lead to economic growth because of job creation, and households should have more disposable income from their energy savings, even after interest payments.
7. What’s the one investment idea that you think could change the world for the better?
There isn’t just one, there are many. There is a delicate balance between environmental and social sustainability; but one of the things that unifies the two is productivity. Any company that develops products or solutions that enhance productivity, whether it be in the way we use our resources or the way we provide essential services to an ageing society, is contributing to the sustainability of human life on this planet.
8. Who or what inspires you most?
Anyone with a pragmatic and positive attitude. Elon Musk is not going to change the world by himself. It needs everyone. All of us can contribute to a sustainable society.
9. What was the best piece of advice you have ever been given? And the worst?
The Australian composer and comedian Tim Minchin gave an address at the University of Western Australia 2013 graduation ceremony (a video and transcript of it can be found by searching online). It contains some excellent advice, but the two points that I always remember are: “define yourself by what you love”, and “respect people with less power than you”.
I tend to forget bad advice.
10. If you were stuck on a desert island, which famous person would you like to be stuck with and why?
Bear Grylls. Because he’d get me off it.

What is Neptune’s D/H ratio really telling us about its water abundance?
We investigate the deep water abundance of Neptune using a simple 2-component (core + envelope) toy model. The free parameters of the model are the total mass of heavy elements in the planet (), the mass fraction of in the envelope (), and the D/H ratio of the accreted building blocks (). We systematically search the allowed parameter space on a grid and constrain it using Neptune’s bulk carbon abundance, D/H ratio, and interior structure models. Assuming solar C/O ratio and cometary D/H for the accreted building blocks forming the planet, we can fit all of the constraints if less than 15% of is in the envelope ( 7%), and the rest is locked in a solid core. This model predicts a maximum bulk oxygen abundance in Neptune of 65 solar value. If we assume a C/O of 0.17, corresponding to clathrate-hydrates building blocks, we predict a maximum oxygen abundance of 200 solar value with a median value of. Thus, both cases lead to an oxygen abundance significantly lower than the preferred value of Cavalié et al. (2017) ( 540 solar), inferred from model dependent deep CO observations. Such high water abundances are excluded by our simple but robust model. We attribute this discrepancy to our imperfect understanding of either the interior structure of Neptune or the chemistry of the primordial protosolar nebula.
keywords:planets and satellites: formation – planets and satellites: gaseous planets – planets and satellites: composition
Uranus and Neptune are arguably the least understood planets in the solar system. Their formation mechanism (Dodson-Robinson & Bodenheimer, 2010; Helled & Bodenheimer, 2014; Ali-Dib et al., 2014a), evolution, and current states are poorly understood due to the sparsity of available data. Among the few chemical elements with constrained abundances in the icy giants’ atmopsheres are carbon (through methane observations Baines et al. (1995)), D/H ratio (measured by Herschel (Feuchtgruber et al., 2013)), and finally CO (Lellouch, Moreno, & Paubert, 2005). However, these observations can go a long way in revealing the histories of these planets. Since methane has also been constrained in Jupiter and Saturn (Mousis et al., 2014), its abundance in different planets can be compared and used as a robust tracer of atmospheric metallicity. The D/H ratio on the other hand has a long history of being used as a tracer for the formation temperature of ices (Mousis et al., 2000; Ali-Dib et al., 2015). This is because water vapors that went through high temperatures phases in the presence of the disk’s H before re-condensing into ices should have lower D/H ratio than those which did not undergo this heating, due to the chemical reaction:
that favor HDO’s transformation into HO at high temperatures.
CO is a trace non equilibrium specie that can form starting from water and methane at high temperatures in the inner envelope, and quickly dissolve back into these elements when transported to the colder outer parts of the atmosphere:
The detection of CO in the ice giants’ outer atmospheres hence implies significant vertical mixing between the inner and outer parts of the envelope, and the presence of important amounts of water in the deep interior of the planets. In theory, CO tropospheric abundance can therefore be used to constrain the bulk oxygen abundance, that is not accessible through direct observations due to the cold trap at the tropopause level. In reality, this is however complicated since both a complex chemical model to the multi-stages reaction 2 and assumptions on the efficiency of the atmospheric vertical mixing (K) are needed in order to connect the measured CO abundance to the deep water content of the planet. CO can be observed only if the chemical timescale for its destruction through equation 2 is longer than the vertical mixing timescale. This technique was initially used by (Lodders & Fegley, 1994) to constrain the bulk water abundance in Neptune to 400 solar value. More recently, Cavalié et al. (2017) used IRAM-30m and Herschel/SPIRE observations, with an updated chemical and vertical mixing scheme to constrain Neptune’s deep water abundance to a best value of 540 solar. They however note the difficulty in reconciling this value with formation and interior structure models.
In this work we use a simple 2-component (solid core + envelope) toy model to fit these observational constraints. We focus exclusively on Neptune, since we only have upper limits on the CO and water abundances in Uranus. The main question we try to answer is What bulk oxygen abundance values are compatible simultaneously with the carbon abundance, D/H ratio, and interior structure models of Neptune?

A transgender father has decided not to reveal the sex of his child so that they can reveal their gender as they grow up.
20-year-old Sav Butler from Portland became transgender at the age of 18 after growing up struggling with gender identity.
Sav now prefers to use the sexless parenting style with his two children to avoid “supposed” sex that may not match their personality.
Sav hopes that this will help children find their true identity.
Savi’s eldest child, three-year-old Wesley, has already announced that he is a boy, and S explains that their newborn child, Eden, will tell them their gender at the age of three.
“I raised my two children without sex until they could tell me what their sex was,” says Sav.
“I do not raise them in pairs, because it is a gender identity, the whole point is not to give them a gender identity.
“I do not want them to be called what they do not have, the memories are finally bad, I just want them to know that they are accepted.
“It will also make them understand more about different identities, help them find themselves faster.”
“I did not tell anyone the supposed sex of my two children, because it is not their business. It’s just my job as a napkin changer, his doctor.
“By the age of three, they talk, they can understand, they can tell you their sexual identity, so that they can finally tell themselves to people.”
Sav is passionate about raising awareness of the difference between the sexes, explaining that while newborns have a biological sex, they do not immediately have a gender identity.
Over the years, she has received negative feedback from others about her parenting choices. But Sav criticizes it as “hypocritical”, noting that most parents impose “presumed” sex on their children at birth based on their biological sex.
“Gender is not equal to sex, և I get nervous because people ask what the sex of the child is, but the children do not have a sexual identity yet. “They only know about poisoning, urinating, eating and sleeping,” he continues.
“It’s about what is in their diaper, not the right terminology. When I refuse to answer what the “gender” of the child is, people are usually confused or angry.
“They say it’s not my decision for the baby, which is obviously hypocritical, because babies accept their gender every day from birth.”
Being a parent without sex essentially means that Sav will go for “men’s”, “women’s clothing”, toys, և uses both himself and pronouns until the children are mature enough to express themselves.
“Before they tell me their gender identity, I dress my two children in both men’s and women’s clothing,” she says.
“In this way, they can look back at children’s photos that are appropriate for their gender, they do not feel uncomfortable.
“I also use ‘masculine’ and ‘feminine’ pronouns so that they can see how everyone feels and how they like it when they are called.”
“Even when they have expressed their gender identity, I allow them to wear, play with the clothes and toys they want.
“I would be perfectly fine, regardless of whether they are gay, trans, male, female or not. I’m not interested in that; I love them no matter what. “
Sav says that his journey as a trans person influenced his parents’ upbringing. He asks the children to call him “mapa”, րել feeding the child to Eden means “breastfeeding”.
“My journey as a trans person definitely has to do with my parents,” he continues.
“I do not want my children to look back on their childhood, to feel pain, which many trans people have felt, they can understand.
“I left after I moved at the age of 18, but at the age of five I knew I was trans because I did not feel comfortable in my body.
“I shortened my name, I started hormone therapy, I’m going to go back to hormones now that I’ve given birth.
“Children understand themselves better than we thank them. At the age of three, they have a gender identity, they can express themselves.
“My three-year-old probably knows more about sex than adults. I use books to explain it to them. It does not have to work for everyone, but it does work for our family. ”

M2 MORTAR 3D model
modeled in cinema 4d 15 and zbrush. The U.S. M2 60 mm mortar was developed from the heavier 81 mm M1 Mortar to provide a lighter-weight alternative to company-level fire support. The M2 attempted to bridge the gap between the 81 mm mortar and the hand grenade. Normally employed by the weapons platoon of a U.S. infantry company, the M2 is of the usual mortar pattern of the day. It consists of a smoothbore metal tube on a rectangular baseplate, supported by a simple bipod with the elevation and traverse mechanisms. The firing pin was fixed in the base cap of the tube, and the bomb was fired automatically when it dropped down the barrel. Though classed as a light mortar, the M2 had considerable range compared to the 50 mm and 60 mm mortars of most other nations, and its fixed-firing pin design allowed a high rate of fire by trained crews. Format : C4D / 3DS / FBX / OBJ. | [

Photochemistry is the branch of chemistry concerned with the chemical effects of light. Generally, this term is used to describe a chemical reaction caused by absorption of ultraviolet (wavelength from 100 to 400 nm), visible light (400–750 nm) or infrared radiation (750–2500 nm). Photochemistry is the branch of chemistry concerned with the chemical effects of light. Generally, this term is used to describe a chemical reaction caused by absorption of ultraviolet (wavelength from 100 to 400 nm), visible light (400–750 nm) or infrared radiation (750–2500 nm). In nature, photochemistry is of immense importance as it is the basis of photosynthesis, vision, and the formation of vitamin D with sunlight. Photochemical reactions proceed differently than temperature-driven reactions. Photochemical paths access high energy intermediates that cannot be generated thermally, thereby overcoming large activation barriers in a short period of time, and allowing reactions otherwise inaccessible by thermal processes. Photochemistry is also destructive, as illustrated by the photodegradation of plastics. Photoexcitation is the first step in a photochemical process where the reactant is elevated to a state of higher energy, an excited state. The first law of photochemistry, known as the Grotthuss–Draper law (for chemists Theodor Grotthuss and John W. Draper), states that light must be absorbed by a chemical substance in order for a photochemical reaction to take place. According to the second law of photochemistry, known as the Stark-Einstein law (for physicists Johannes Stark and Albert Einstein), for each photon of light absorbed by a chemical system, no more than one molecule is activated for a photochemical reaction, as defined by the quantum yield. When a molecule or atom in the ground state (S0) absorbs light, one electron is excited to a higher orbital level. This electron maintains its spin according to the spin selection rule; other transitions would violate the law of conservation of angular momentum.The excitation to a higher singlet state can be from HOMO to LUMO or to a higher orbital, so that singlet excitation states S1, S2, S3… at different energies are possible. Kasha's rule stipulates that higher singlet states would quickly relax by radiationless decay or internal conversion (IC) to S1. Thus, S1 is usually, but not always, the only relevant singlet excited state. This excited state S1 can further relax to S0 by IC, but also by an allowed radiative transition from S1 to S0 that emits a photon; this process is called fluorescence. Alternatively, it is possible for the excited state S1 to undergo spin inversion and to generate a triplet excited state T1 having two unpaired electrons with the same spin. This violation of the spin selection rule is possible by intersystem crossing (ISC) of the vibrational and electronic levels of S1 and T1. According to Hund's rule of maximum multiplicity, this T1 state would be somewhat more stable than S1. This triplet state can relax to the ground state S0 by radiationless IC or by a radiation pathway called phosphorescence. This process implies a change of electronic spin, which is forbidden by spin selection rules, making phosphorescence (from T1 to S0) much slower than fluorescence (from S1 to S0). Thus, triplet states generally have longer lifetimes than singlet states. These transitions are usually summarized in a state energy diagram or Jablonski diagram, the paradigm of molecular photochemistry. These excited species, either S1 or T1, have a half empty low-energy orbital, and are consequently more oxidizing than the ground state. But at the same time, they have an electron in a high energy orbital, and are thus more reducing. In general, excited species are prone to participate in electron transfer processes. Photochemical reactions require a light source that emits wavelengths corresponding to an electronic transition in the reactant. In the early experiments (and in everyday life), sunlight was the light source, although it is polychromatic. Mercury-vapor lamps are more common in the laboratory. Low pressure mercury vapor lamps mainly emit at 254 nm. For polychromatic sources, wavelength ranges can be selected using filters. Alternatively, laser beams are usually monochromatic (although two or more wavelengths can be obtained using nonlinear optics) and LEDs have a relatively narrowband that can be efficiently used, as well as Rayonet lamps, to get approximately monochromatic beams. | [

Unfair Dismissal Claim
Disability Discrimination Compensation Manchester Do you feel you are the victim of disability discrimination at your place of work and are now seeking compensation from your employer in Manchester? You need to speak to Michael Lewin Solicitors who can assist you in taking your employer to an employment tribunal where they may be ordered to pay you compensation if we can prove that you have suffered as a direct result of their actions.
It is against the law to discriminate against anyone because of a disability under the Disability Discrimination Act 2005. Employers need to ensure that they take reasonable steps to ensure that their working environment is suitable for those with a disability. They cannot discriminate against anyone on the grounds of their disability and advertised job positions must be open to all providing the disability does not stop a worker from performing a key role.
Cases involving disability discrimination are often published in the news and a particular high-profile case which was reported in the Personnel Today on Monday 11 July 2011 was involving a man who was dismissed from his job because he had a stroke. The article quotes?A man who was dismissed from his job following a stroke has been awarded nearly œ400000 in compensation for disability discrimination.?
In the case above the claimant’s doctor stated that he would need to avoid stress at work in order to return to his employment however his employer decided that no role at the company would be without stress so decided to dismiss him. The tribunal found that the dismissal amounted to disability discrimination as the employer had failed to make reasonable adjustments in regards to the working environment.
Michael Lewin Solicitors will be able to assess your case for disability discrimination and if they feel that you meet the grounds to make a successful claim we will be able to seek compensation on your behalf in Manchester.
The majority of cases involving disability discrimination will either involve unfair dismissal or constructive dismissal which will be related to a person’s disability. On the 2nd January 2013 the team at Michael Lewin Solicitors received an enquiry from Mr E from Wrexham who believed he was unfairly dismissed from his place of work.
If Mr E was a disabled worker and his employer dismissed him because of this then this would make the grounds for unfair dismissal. If Mr E asked for reasonable adjustments and these were refused and Mr E then decided to leave because of this then this could class as constructive dismissal.
The team at Michael Lewin Solicitors will happily discuss your case for disability discrimination and can inform you whether you would be eligible to achieve a compensation award; why not discuss your specific case involving your employer in Manchester by calling one of the team today on:0844 844 9866. | [

About: Queen Elizabeth University Hospital Glasgow / Rehabilitation Queen Elizabeth University Hospital Glasgow Rehabilitation Glasgow G51 4TF
Posted by govanman5 (as ),
I have nothing but praise for the amazing angels on ward 56
I suffered a minor stroke and was admitted to 56 after spending the night in 1c. The difference between the two wards is unbelievable. Friendly staff in 56 and disdainful staff in 1c in my opinion.
I was greeted by 2 nurses, and nothing was a bother to them (even my constant use of the patient call system). They answered me everytime with a smile (and kept me smiling with their chat)
So thank you ward 56 | [

Relay (English name: relay) is an electrical control device. It is an electrical appliance that causes the controlled quantity to undergo a predetermined step change in the electrical output circuit when the input quantity (excitation quantity) changes to meet the specified requirements. It has an interactive relationship between the control system (also called the input loop) and the controlled system (also called the output loop). Usually used in automated control circuits, it is actually an "automatic switch" that uses a small current to control the operation of a large current. Therefore, it plays the role of automatic adjustment, safety protection, and conversion circuit in the circuit.
In the 18th century, scientists also believed that electricity and magnetism were two physical phenomena that were not related to each other. After the Danish physicist Oster discovered the magnetic effect of electric current is 1820, the British physicist Faraday discovered the phenomenon of electromagnetic induction in 1831. These discoveries confirmed that electrical and magnetic energy can be transformed into each other, which laid the foundation for the birth of later electric motors and generators; human beings have entered the electrical age because of these inventions. In the 1830s, the American physicist Joseph Henry used electromagnetic induction to invent the relay while studying circuit control. The earliest relay is an electromagnetic relay, which uses the phenomenon of the generation and disappearance of the magnetic force of the electromagnet when the power is turned on and off, to control the opening and closing of another circuit with high voltage and high current. Its appearance makes the remote control and protection of the circuit work. It went smoothly. The relay is a great invention in the history of human science and technology. It is not only the foundation of electrical engineering but also an important foundation of electronic technology and microelectronics technology.
Relay is an automatic switching element with an isolation function. It is widely used in remote control, telemetry, communication, automatic control, mechatronics, and power electronic equipment. It is one of the most important control elements.
Relays generally have an induction mechanism (input part) that can reflect certain input variables (such as current, voltage, power, impedance, frequency, temperature, pressure, speed, light, etc.); The actuator (output part) of "off" control; between the input port and the output port of the relay, there is also an intermediate mechanism (drive part) for coupling and isolating the input, functional processing and driving the output part.
As a control element, in summary, the relay has the following functions:
1) Expand the control range: For example, when the control signal of a multi-contact relay reaches a certain value, multiple circuits can be switched, disconnected, and connected at the same time according to different forms of contact groups.
2) Amplification: For example, sensitive relays, intermediate relays, etc., with a very small control quantity, can control a large power circuit.
3) Comprehensive signal: For example, when multiple control signals are input to a multi-winding relay in a prescribed form, they will be relatively integrated to achieve the predetermined control effect.
4) Automatic, remote control, and monitoring: For example, the relay on the automatic device and other electrical appliances can form a program control circuit to realize automatic operation
The new type of relay refers to the electromagnetic relay developed and produced in order to meet the new special requirements and meet the use under special environmental conditions. Its main characteristics are small size, lightweight, vibration resistance, shock resistance, and load range from a low level. Load to 5A, 28 V rated load, the product has reliability index (failure rate grade) requirements, the product adopts resistance welding or laser welding sealed airtight sealing structure, mainly used in signal transmission and weak current in electronic control equipment Power switching.
New electromagnetic relays include non-magnetic latching relays and magnetic latching relays. The non-magnetic latching relay is a monostable relay. The output state of the contact of the relay coil changes under the action of the specified voltage excitation, but after the coil excitation is canceled, the contact output state is restored to the initial state. A magnetic latching relay is a kind of bistable relay, divided into the single-coil structure and double-coil structure, coil excitation is electric pulse mode. For the single-coil structure relay, when the coil is under the action of the specified voltage excitation, the contact output state changes. After the coil excitation is canceled, the contact can maintain the existing state. To change the contact output state, you need to add a specified value to the coil. The amount of reverse voltage excitation. For the double-coil structure relay, when the first coil is under the action of the specified voltage excitation, the contact output state changes. After the coil excitation is canceled, the contact can maintain the existing state. To change the contact output state, the second coil is excited by the specified voltage.
Due to the special performance of the new type of relay, its testing | [

Q. Xu, Y. Ju, and H. Ge – Advanced Materials Research, December, 2012
This paper focuses on the oscillating water column (OWC) wave energy generator. An overall mathematical model is established comprising of the wave energy capture, drive system, permanent magnet synchronous generators (PMSG), vector control, maximum power point tracking (MPPT), and low voltage ride through (LVRT) control. With this mathematical model, an OWC wave energy generator based on PMSG simulation model is set up in Matlab/Simulink environment. A simulation analysis of the model is carried out which is connected to the grid under the condition of wave changes and power system faults. The simulation facilitates the MPPT and the decoupling control of power for OWC wave energy generator. Results show that the system with back-to- back PWM converter operates in a satisfying way and the model established works correctly and effectively. | [

Popular 1950s Foods
The demand for convenience was strong in the 1950s, which drove the creation of many food innovations. The 1950s was a time of great innovation in food products. It was a decade driven by the demand for convenience, and many of the modern products we use today are food innovations of the 1950s. Women wanted to feed their families good, hearty meals but didn’t want to spend hours a day in the kitchen. Appliances were revolutionized to reflect this demand, as was food technology. Frozen foods, including fruits, vegetables and TV dinners, quickly became household staples. Canned foods such as soups were also very popular and often used in making casseroles, the iconic dish of the decade. Here’s a look at other important food innovations from the 1950s.
Minute Rice is a brand of instant rice. The product was introduced in 1949 by General Foods.
Kellogg’s Sugar Pops (corn pops)
Corn Pops is a puffed grain breakfast cereal made by Kellogg’s, described by the company as “crunchy sweetened popped-up corn cereal.” The cereal was introduced in 1950 as Corn Pops. In 1951, the name was changed to Sugar Corn Pops, and later it was called Sugar Pops. It was the sponsor for “The Adventures of Wild Bill Hickok” radio and television show. The name was changed to Sugar Corn Pops in 1978, and finally to Corn Pops in 1984.
In 1952, Duncan Hines introduced Duncan Hines bread through the Durkee’s Bakery Company of Homer, New York. The cake mix license was sold to Nebraska Consolidated Mills in Omaha, Nebraska, which developed and sold the first Duncan Hines cake mixes.
The Tropicana story begins with Anthony T. Rossi, who arrived in the U.S. with just $25 in his pocket. He founded Tropicana in 1947 with the mission of making the goodness of the finest fruit accessible to everyone.
Kraft Cheese Wiz
It was developed by a team led by food scientist Edwin Traisman. While many sources give its national debut as 1953, it was advertised by Kraft and retailers in several states in late 1952
Eggo Frozen Waffles
Eggo waffles were invented in San Jose, California, by Frank Dorsa, who developed a process by which waffles could be cooked, frozen, and packaged for consumers. In 1953, Dorsa, along with younger brothers Anthony and Sam, introduced Eggo frozen waffles as “Froffles” to supermarkets throughout the United States. Because of the egg flavour, customers called them “Eggos”. Eventually, the name became synonymous with the product and, in 1955, the Dorsa brothers officially changed the name to “Eggo.”
Swanson TV Dinners
A Swanson “Hungry-Man Country Fried Chicken” TV dinner
The Swanson & Sons’ TV dinner branded frozen meal sold 5,000 units when it was first introduced in 1953; just one year later, the company had sold over 10,000,000 TV dinners.
General Mills Trix
General Mills introduced Trix in 1954 as a sugar-coated version of its popular Kix cereal.
Kellogg’s Special K cereal
Special K is a brand of breakfast cereal and meal bars manufactured by Kellogg’s. The cereal was introduced to the United States in 1955.
In 1956 Lever Brothers (Unilever) developed Imperial margarine with a lower melting point and contained butter.
Pam nonstick cooking spray
1959 A new product slides onto the market.1957 marks the first patent for a no-stick cooking spray. PAM Products, Inc. was founded in 1959 by Arthur Meyerhoff, Sr. and Leon Rubin. PAM stands for a Product of Arthur Meyerhoff.
Tang is an American drink mix brand that was formulated by General Foods Corporation food scientist William A. Mitchell in 1957 and first marketed in powdered form in 1959.
General Mills Cocoa Puffs
Cocoa Puffs is an American brand of chocolate-flavoured puffed grain breakfast cereal manufactured by General Mills. Introduced in 1956, the cereal consists of small orbs of corn and rice flavoured with cocoa. Essentially, Cocoa Puffs are Kix cereal with chocolate flavouring; similarly, Trix has been, for most of its existence, fruit-flavoured Kix.
Jif Peanut Butter
In 1955, Procter & Gamble bought Big Top peanut butter from William T. Young of Kentucky and, in the ensuing years, reformulated and rebranded it to compete with Skippy and Peter Pan. P. & G. named its product Jif, used oils other than peanut oil in its hydrogenation process, and sweetened the recipe, adding sugar and molasses. The original Creamy and Crunchy style | [

When stormwater gathers on nonabsorbent surfaces like roofs, streets and sidewalks, it provides a vehicle for transporting pollutants such as metals, chemicals, debris and bacteria. While most residential and urban areas use sewer systems and storm drains to prevent pooling water, stormwater runoff is then channeled into nearby bodies of water such as lakes, rivers and oceans with these pollutants in tow.
Alpha Environmental provides environmentally-friendly methods to manage stormwater runoff. We offer bioswales and bioretention basins that filter and slow the drainage of stormwater, allowing it to be properly treated before making its way into sensitive habitats. We also provide regular maintenance and annual check-up services to keep these systems working as designed.
Bioretention areas are landscaped depressions or shallow basins that slow and treat stormwater on site. Common along roadways or in parking lot islands, bioretention basins mimic the ways in which pollutants are removed from forested areas by passing stormwater through layers of soil, mulch and plants that act as filters. The treated water is then directed to drains and/or surrounding bodies of water.
Bioretention areas are extremely useful in heavy rain conditions, as they often allow water to pool up to several feet before passing it through to an overflow outlet. This helps to prevent flooding.
Bioretention basins are typically composed of seven elements:
- A grass buffer strip that reduces the speed of runoff stormwater and removes debris.
- Vegetation that helps remove water through evaporation. Plants also remove excess nutrients through nutrient cycling.
- A shallow ponding area that provides storage for excess stormwater and its subsequent evaporation. This area also aids in the settlement of solid and liquid debris.
- Mulch, which provides an organic layer that encourages the biological degradation of petroleum-based pollutants. Mulch also aids in filtering out pollutants and reduces soil erosion.
- Engineered soils to support plant growth, increase nutrient uptake and provide water storage. These soils should include some clay to absorb pollutants such as hydrocarbons, heavy metals and nutrients.
- A sand bed, which provides drainage, allows air into the planting soil and aids in flushing pollutants.
- An underdrain system to channel excess treated stormwater to a storm drain system or nearby bodies of water.
Bioretention basins are perfect for small areas like residential neighborhoods or shopping centers, as they contribute to urban aesthetics while restoring natural water cycles.
Bioswales and Rain Gardens
Bioswales and rain gardens are vegetated, shallow, landscaped areas designed to capture, treat and infiltrate stormwater runoff as it moves downstream. While the two systems are similar, bioswales are designed to filter and carry stormwater to storm inlets or nearby waterways. In contrast, rain gardens are specifically designed to filter and absorb stormwater in place of redirecting it.
Bioswales and rain gardens should be composed of diverse, deep-rooted, native vegetation to increase the amount of time water spends in the area. The sides of these shallow areas should be slightly sloped to allow for the collection of stormwater.
These systems are often used in urban areas near cities or busy streets, where stormwater is more likely to collect on nonabsorbent surfaces, such as:
- Parking lots
Both bioswales and rain gardens are excellent for filtering water on a smaller scale. The majority of precipitation comes from small rain events, during which these systems can capture and filter nearly all of the resulting water.

The Rookie VC #7
Hi all!
Today I want to talk about venture scouts and their role in tech ecosystems. A recent column by Roxane Varza in Sifted about the lack of VC-backed scout programmes in Europe inspired me to dig into the topic.
I find the topic particularly interesting in the context of angel investing, especially in the European ecosystem where operators and other personalities with strong views and thesis do not always get a chance at angel investing, for various reasons that we’ll brush upon.
I understand my take my sound a little naive or simplistic, and I’m honestly writing this in hope that someone could explain any hard barriers that I might’ve missed to the development of venture scout programmes in Europe and in France more specifically.
Let’s dive right in.
First, let’s explore what being a scout can mean. There is a variety of possibilities when it comes to organizing a scouting activity when you are a VC fund.
While I think scouting is a great way to approach angel investing differently, it’s important to understand that not all scouts are angel investors, and that not all of them will get to participate in the deals they might have sourced.
A lot of US-based commentators define scouting as VC funds empowering an individual to invest very early in a company with a small allocation over which he or she has full decision-making autonomy. While this is the dominant occurrence, I’ve observed a nuance.
I’ve tried to simplify the framework around a straightforward divide, but we’ll see that it branches out in other interesting variants:
Internal scouts. Some funds have chosen to internalize scouting as part of their platform and dealflow strategy. This type of scout will get to work as a full-time team member inside a fund, and will lead dealflow generation by focusing quasi-exclusively on seizing every occasion to link to the ecosystem and meet as much entrepreneurs as possible, often times at a stage so early that a vanilla VC investment will simply not be on the table. What can really help in this approach is to recruit a network-driven entrepreneur or ex-entrepreneur that is recognized as a strong figure in the local ecosystem. This type of scouts should, in my opinion, also be characterized by a strong sense of serendipity: when he or she detects an opportunity and knows early on will not be a fit, he or she will do its best to redirect to other investors he or she knows will be a better fit.
Caveat: that is also something any great VC would do, but an approach that should be systematized for internal scouts. I also acknowledge this is a rarer breed, and that interns often fill this role in funds.
External scouts. External scouts are people under a fund-led program, to which the fund carves out a small allocation (usually $100k-500k) but which are not full-time employees. In the vast majority of cases, they are either entrepreneurs or known angels selected upon application. Some funds also encourage later-stage portfolio founders to engage in scout programmes as a side project, giving them an opportunity to kickstart their angel investing career. Some might have already started to do it sporadically, and in this case it’s a great opportunity to leapfrog and intensify it. As I described, the external scout model has some interesting variants that I’ll discuss further down the road. External scouts are usually compensated by a portion of the carried interest (proceeds going to the general partners managing the fund upon an exit) to align incentives with the funds.
It’s fair to be reading thus far and thinking :
“Yeah Ulysse, this is cool and all, but top-decile funds don’t need these programs because of their network that brings them top-quality dealflow”.
This is exactly the point. To better understand this, let’s look at what happened in the US. Top US funds by the likes of Accel, Sequoia, LightSpeed, a16z, etc., have ballooned in size. From the first few original vintages in the $200m to $400m range, most of them now count AuM in billions.
When fund sizes multiply 10x in the higher end of the spectrum, it has consequences on the economics and how the general partners should allocate their time to make the most of it. Intuitively, it doesn’t make sense for a billion-dollar general partner to be cutting a handful of $25-100k checks. To effectively allocate the time used for each investment and ensure the fund is deployed at the right pace, they will need to write $10-15m checks at leas with high conviction levels.
This logic creates a gap. At pre-seed and seed stage, even with the crazy round sizes and valuation you often observe | [

TEHRAN, (Xinhua) — A top Iranian cleric on Friday denounced the US accusation over Iran’s nuclear program as a lie to undermine the world of Islam, saying that the Iranians will never "keep silent," the official IRNA news agency reported.
"This lie has now become clear and obvious, and the Iranian nation will not keep silent … and people from different walks of life in Iran are unanimously stressing country’s access to the nuclear technology," Substitute Friday Prayers Leader of Tehran, Mohammad Emami Kashani, was quoted as saying in a sermon.
Kashani said the United States is actually intended to "undermine the world of Islam and to make the Islamic establishment exhausted" by picking up the accusation over Iran’s nuclear program, stressing that the (Iranian) "nation avoids any hesitation and is stressing its right."
Kashani’s comments came as a statement on the Iranian nuclear issue drafted by Britain and France is being discussed among the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council — the United States, Britain, France, Russia and China. The statement sets a two-week deadline for Iran to suspend all activities for building nuclear fuel reactor and to fully cooperate with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), but Russia and China fear that tough rhetoric of the statement would radicalize the tension.
The 15-member U.N. Security Council had indefinitely postponed a meeting originally due on Tuesday to discuss the Iranian nuclear issue, a move aimed at giving the "Permanent Five" enough time to reach consensus. Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said on Wednesday in Qatar that even the Security Council can not pressurize Iran to give in on its nuclear program.
On March 8, the IAEA handed over the Iran’s nuclear issue to the U.N. Security Council after the agency’s board of governors meeting. Iran has denounced the involvement of the Security Council, vowing never to give in to pressure and bullying | [

Age-Specific Differences Between Conventional and Ambulatory Daytime Blood Pressure Values
Mean daytime ambulatory blood pressure (BP) values are considered to be lower than conventional BP values, but data on this relation among younger individuals <50 years are scarce. Conventional and 24-hour ambulatory BP were measured in 9550 individuals not taking antihypertensive treatment from 13 population-based cohorts. We compared individual differences between daytime ambulatory and conventional BP according to 10-year age categories. Age-specific prevalences of white coat and masked hypertension were calculated. Among individuals aged 18 to 30, 30 to 40, and 40 to 50 years, mean daytime BP was significantly higher than the corresponding conventional BP (6.0, 5.2, and 4.7 mm Hg for systolic; 2.5, 2.7, and 1.7 mm Hg for diastolic BP; all P<0.0001). In individuals aged 60 to 70 and ≥70 years, conventional BP was significantly higher than daytime ambulatory BP (5.0 and 13.0 mm Hg for systolic; 2.0 and 4.2 mm Hg for diastolic BP; all P<0.0001).The prevalence of white coat hypertension exponentially increased from 2.2% to 19.5% from those aged 18 to 30 years to those aged ≥70 years, with little variation between men and women (8.0% versus 6.1%; P=0.0003). Masked hypertension was more prevalent among men (21.1% versus 11.4%; P<0.0001). The age-specific prevalences of masked hypertension were 18.2%, 27.3%, 27.8%, 20.1%, 13.6%, and 10.2% among men and 9.0%, 9.9%, 12.2%, 11.9%, 14.7%, and 12.1% among women. In conclusion, this large collaborative analysis showed that the relation between daytime ambulatory and conventional BP strongly varies by age. These findings may have implications for diagnosing hypertension and its subtypes in clinical practice.
See Editorial Commentary, pp 931–932
Elevated blood pressure (BP) is one of the strongest risk factors for morbidity and mortality worldwide.1 BP-lowering treatment has been shown to be highly effective in preventing hypertension-related cardiovascular events.2 Accordingly, an accurate diagnosis of hypertension is crucial to target treatment to those individuals at high risk for adverse events.
Conventional BP monitoring (CBPM) in the doctor’s office has been the standard of care for many decades, despite the fact that this technique has many potential limitations. Some of these limitations are minimized through the use of 24-hour ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM). Accordingly, ABPM has been shown to be a better predictor of cardiovascular complications and death than CBPM3,4 and may help to implement a more efficient BP-lowering treatment regimen.5,6
ABPM values are usually considered to be lower than conventional BP (CBP) values in the same individual. Accordingly, diagnostic thresholds for hypertension based on 24-hour ABPM are lower than those for CBPM.7 However, most studies to determine the association between ABPM and CBPM have been performed in middle-aged to elderly individuals, and it is relatively unknown whether this relation is similar among younger individuals. Usually, younger individuals are more physically active than older individuals, which may directly affect daytime ambulatory BP (ABP) values. Evidence-based thresholds are important in younger adults, given the long-term implications of diagnosing hypertension in this population group. To address this issue, we performed a large collaborative analysis among 9550 participants not taking BP-lowering drugs and representing a wide age range.
The International Database on Ambulatory blood pressure in relation to Cardiovascular Outcomes (IDACO) was assembled from random population-based studies with available information on CBPM and ABPM, baseline cardiovascular risk factors, and fatal and nonfatal outcomes during follow-up. Details about study selection and aims of the consortium have been described previously.8 Currently, the IDACO database contains 12 randomly recruited population cohorts and 12 725 participants. For the purpose of this analysis, we excluded 303 participants aged <18 years, 1389 with missing CBPM, 1878 with incomplete ABPM (<10 valid daytime measurements or <5 valid nighttime measurements),8 and 1649 participants currently taking antihypertensive treatment, such that 7506 IDACO participants were included in this study.
To increase the number of individuals aged <40 years, data from the population-based Genetic and Phenotypic Determinants of Blood Pressure and Other Cardiovascular Risk Factors (GAPP) study were added to the IDACO data set. GAPP is an ongoing prospective cohort study among all inhabitants of the Principality of Liechtenstein aged 25 to 41 years. The study methodology has been described in detail previously.9 In brief, between 2010 and 2013, 2170 participants have been enrolled | [

Things You'll Need
- Oil-paint set
- Sable brushes
- Porcelain palette
Painting has been around for centuries,with the earliest examples dating back about 30,000 years. Early oil paints consisted of organic pigments mixed with vegetable or flax seed oils. Early Italian artists even used olive oil for a short while, but the drying time was excessive, so the method became obsolete. The introduction of oil painting is responsible for a multitude of famous paintings, like the famous "The Last Supper." Today, oil paints mainly consist of oil from the calendula plant and ironweed. In 1841, the paint tube was introduced, which made painting a more transportable art, with artists able to paint anywhere and at any time. But as versatile as oil painting has become, so has its complexity grown. Large varieties of oil-paint colors, supplies, and mediums can leave a new painter very confused. Once you learn the basics,though, oil painting can be a very rewarding art form.
Look for a beginners' set that has a variety of colors. They will last a long time, and will very rarely have to be replaced. You can add to your color palette once you get the hang of this type of painting.
Choose a brand of turpentine to use in thinning your paint. Sometimes the tubes of paint are too thick for your particular idea or project. This is where turpentine comes in. When added to a color, it can decrease opacity, ultimately creating a thinner and more see-through effect.
Purchase good brushes. Do not buy cheap! Brushes are the most important part of your painting kit. Sable brushes are recommended more than any other type, due to their high quality. Cheaper brushes won't last, and may even affect your work.
Clean your brushes well. Your brushes will always be ready for use if you clean them properly in between sessions. Soak your brushes in turpentine and allow to dry on a paper towel. Then be sure to put them back at your workspace.
Use a porcelain palette. This type of palette is easily cleaned, great for mixing, and usually has a wide area to spread your colors.
Purchase a comfortable easel. An easel should always be adjusted at a workable height and placed in a well-lit area.
Get some canvas. Oil painting should always be done on canvas. It is never a good idea to paint on any other type of medium.
Get painting! Once you have all of your oil painting items in order, you can begin your first piece of artwork.
Practice mixing your paints with the turpentine, as well as mixing the colors on your palette to create new ones. Practice your brush strokes, and develop your very own oil painting techniques. Most importantly, have fun!
You will rarely find greens in an oil-paint tube set. Greens and other absent colors are usually made by mixing two or more basic colors. In most cases, oil paint is darkened or lightened by adding another color.
Remember that oil paint can stain and be a nightmare to remove from clothing and carpeting. Always wear a smock or old clothing, as well as working in an area appropriate for a possible paint spill. | [

Samart, Klairung and Chambers, Ray, Fitting Linear Mixed Models Using Linked Data, Centre for Statistical and Survey Methodology, University of Wollongong, Working Paper 18-10, 2010, 25p.
Probabilistic matching of records from different data sets is often used to create linked data sets for use in research in health, epidemiology, economics, demography and sociology. Clearly, this type of matching can lead to linkage errors, which in turn can lead to bias and increased variability when standard statistical estimation techniques are used with the linked data. In this paper we develop unbiased regression parameter estimates when fitting a linear mixed model to probabilistically linked data. Furthermore, since estimation of variance components is also an important objective when fitting a mixed model, we develop appropriate modifications to standard methods of variance components estimation in order to account for linkage error. In particular, we focus on three widely used methods of variance components estimation: analysis of variance, maximum likelihood and restricted maximum likelihood. Simulation results show that our estimators per- formed reasonably well compared to the naive weighted least square estimator that just uses the linked data. | [

WILLOWVALE - A rapid response by community members in Willowvale has led to two alleged rapists being apprehended and arrested soon after the crime was committed, Eastern Cape police said on Sunday.
Eastern Cape police commissioner Lt-Gen Liziwe Ntshinga applauded members of the community who chased and caught the two men, aged 23 and 41, who were suspected of raping a 23-year-old woman, spokesman Captain Jackson Manatha said.
It was alleged that the victim was on her way to a shop at about 7.30pm on Thursday at Mgwebi locality, Mhlamhlane village, Willowvale.
"She came across a certain man who dragged her to the bushes. The suspect allegedly raped the 23-year-old woman in the bushes. Another man came and also raped the victim. The victim identified both suspects and alerted the community members. The two suspects were traced, chased, and caught by the community members. They were taken to Willowvale Police Station where they were charged with rape."
Both suspects would appear in the Willowvale Magistrate’s Court on Monday on charges of rape. Ntshinga had thanked the community for not taking the law into their own hands, "as the suspects were not assaulted", Manatha said. | [

To access the property, which has more than 8,800 square feet of interior and exterior living space, guests walk through a secured private tunnel that terminates at the basement-level entrance. The entryway leads to a wine cellar, an elevator that connects to the dwelling’s five other levels, and a ski room complete with heated boot warmers and a selection of skis and hiking boots. Dressing areas and en suite bathrooms are features of the five bedrooms, as are private terraces or balconies with seating and bio-fire coffee tables. Occupying one level is an open area with floor-to-ceiling windows; it houses a living room, a library, a kitchen, and a dining area with a Murano crystal chandelier and seating for 12. The wellness level has a sauna with dry Finnish and wet Swedish options, a steam room clad in quartz, a gym, and a relaxation room with an indoor/outdoor Jacuzzi. The terrace off the wellness area has an outdoor kitchen for year-round alfresco dining. A full staff helps make staying put all the more enticing, but they also can make arrangements for guided skiing, snowboarding, heli-skiing, mountain climbing, or biking, among other outdoor pursuits.

A purple tulip blooms under blue and grey spring showers. Fields of long, golden grass stretch like waves on an ocean. A young girl reviews her relationship with colour amid changing seasons and childhood activities, thinking about the colours she can and cannot see.
With illustrations that are a combination of acrylic paint on watercolour paper and Photoshop, They Say Blue is a picture book that produces a mesmerizing exploration of colour. Jillian Tamaki’s transitions between senses and daily occurrences are as natural as her protagonist’s smooth stream of consciousness.
I left with a deepened, more imaginative relationship with colour. | [

A hurricane warning has been issued for Oahu as Douglas bears down on the state, and other severe weather alerts are also in effect for the rest of the state. Eugene Tanner / AP July 27, 2020, 5:20 AM UTC CPHC said at 5 p.m. that “on the forecast track, Douglas will pass near Oahu and Kauai tonight.”.

Douglaswill bring a triple threat of hazards, including but not limited to, damagingwinds, flooding rainfall, and dangerously high surf especially along east andnorth facing shores. Douglas could produce an additional 2 to 4 inches of rainfall over the northern half of the Big Island.

The National Weather Service says a flood advisory for Maui will expire at 1 p.m. today. Call (808) 246-8110 or visit facebook.com/CountyofKauai for more information. Track relies a lot on where it actually establishes a center, but some of the models, like the Euro so far today, just show it remaining open for the next few days. Douglas was moving west-northwest at 16 mph and this motion is expected to continue over the next couple of days. Been a lurker for a long time. A quick recap of what I’ve learned works for this commenting system. Hurricane-force winds of 74 mph or more extend up to 35 miles from Douglas’ center and tropical storm-force winds of 39 mph or more extend up to 115 miles. Emergency shelters on Oahu opened in preparation for Douglas will begin to close at 7 a.m. Monday according to Honolulu Mayor Kirk Caldwell. Dunno why, might need to find the optimal size so it doesn’t auto re-size like that.

Weight loss, an arena pulsating with myriad strategies, methodologies, and narratives, brings forth the challenge and enchantment of navigating through its diverse pathways to discover what resonates authentically with one’s unique bodily narrative. The Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) diet, enveloped in both controversy and fascination, unearths a distinctive approach towards weight management, interweaving a low-calorie diet with the administration of HCG hormone.
Traditionally recognized for its role in pregnancy, HCG has carved out a peculiar niche within the weight loss sphere. The HCG diet unfolds over phases, each meticulously structured to navigate through loading, weight loss, and maintenance, underpinned by the administration of the HCG hormone, whether through injections, drops, or other formulations.
The theory propelling the HCG diet into the limelight involves the hormone’s purported ability to curtail appetite and facilitate the utilization of stored fat for energy, all while adhering to a markedly low-calorie diet, often not exceeding 500-800 calories daily. Advocates of the HCG diet often herald its potential in facilitating rapid weight loss, while also mitigating common associates of caloric restriction, such as hunger and muscle mass loss.
However, while tales of success permeate the narrative of the HCG diet, it is essential to navigate through its realms with a lens of informed skepticism and under the astute guidance of healthcare professionals.
Elite Health Online anchors its philosophy in blending scientific rigor with personalized wellness, nurturing a space where the exploration of pathways like the HCG diet is grounded in informed decision-making and personalized health narratives. Journeying through weight management strategies, particularly ones enveloped in fascination like the HCG diet, necessitates a sanctuary where one’s unique bodily and emotional narratives are acknowledged, understood, and guided with utmost care.
Embarking on the path towards understanding and potentially embracing the HCG diet with Elite Health Online, your exploration is enveloped in a blend of scientific scrutiny, empathetic understanding, and an unwavering commitment towards safeguarding your health and wellbeing. | [

Just before the long list of those in the ‘Hall of Faith’ in Hebrews 11, we find the statement, “you joyfully accepted the plundering of your property, since you knew that yourselves had a better possession and an abiding one. Therefore do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward” (Hebrews 10:34-35).
Where does this joy and confidence come from? Verse 32 points out that it comes after we have been “enlightened” by the gospel which this book unfolds in wonderful detail. The glory of Christ in the gospel enables us to “endure a hard struggle with sufferings…being publicly exposed to reproach and affliction” (10:32-33). In chapter 11, Moses “considered the reproach of Christ greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt, for he was looking to the reward” (11:26).
Joy in suffering for the sake of Christ comes from determining in our hearts that we have “unsearchable riches” in Him (Ephesians 3:8) and they are far greater than what this world can offer. How strong is your confidence in this truth? What reward are you really looking for? Your answer to these questions will determine what you are willing to suffer for Christ’s sake.

Malawi spends US$8.95MN to implement digital terrestrial TV
| 20 May 2014
The Malawi Government is spending MWK3.5 billion (US$8.95 million) to convert its terrestrial television network to digital transmission in time for the ITU's global migration deadline of 17 June 2015, according to a government employee.
Dennis Chirwa, digital migration coordinator, said this government policy is to "ensure that migration from analogue to digital benefits the people and leads to more services and broader coverage," during a MultiChoice hosted digital TV conference in Blantyre.
"In Malawi, digital broadcasting will not only improve the consumers' TV experience in terms of better sound and picture quality but also will improve access to information to all people," Secretary for Information and Civic Education Luckie Sikwese was quoted as saying by the Malawi News Agency.
"There is need to prepare the public in order to understand the process in a good manner... Media is a critical partner when it comes to informing the public," he added.
Chimwemwe Nyirenda, marketing manager for MultiChoice Malawi, confirmed his company would "complement" the government's effort in educating the public about digital broadcasting. | [

Meditation is the doorway to altered states of consciousness and as I used to advise my NYU students: meditation brings insights and awareness one might not otherwise experience in a lifetime.
It’s pure joy to practice meditation in a reclining position….particularly since it produces similar results as sitting meditation. The same techniques apply to make it work: total focus on diaphragmatic breathing and absolute stillness.
Find a comfortable position and once the meditation is started do not move. Movement constitutes a restart.
Hopefully you have mastered diaphragmatic breathing. It’s one of the most important techniques to attain for long life, good health, relaxation and heightened consciousness. You will find articles on breathing techniques on the Commentary pages of my website.
It’s difficult to meditate in any position when you breathe high in the chest. You will feel uncomfortable as the breath ‘collects’ in your neck and upper sternum.
As you lie motionless in bed, on your side or back, focus all attention on monitoring the breath. Count: in, 2, 3, 4, out 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. Initially you may not be able to maintain a slow breathing cycle. Adjust the count to your ability.
Should you find your mind wandering around considering mundane matters, immediately refocus on monitoring the breath. Do not look for results – but I will almost guarantee memorable experiences.
Thich Nhat Hanh is the contemporary master of living in the moment as facilitated by meditation. He has written many books. | [

His is the much sought after. It belonged to my great, great aunt who lived in St. I brought it with me when I moved to South Florida, Approximately 12 years ago a clock expert picked it up taking to his shop and brought it back working beautifully. Kept perfect time for almost 6 years.
That had to be in perfect balance to run properly and bolted to wall to keep it in place. I know very little (if anything) about clocks of this type and will do my best to answer any questions. Height is 38" x 16" wide, depth is 4 1/4. Condition as shown in photos; last 3 indicate cracks in the wood. There is the number 32.
On wood opposite lower panel (photo). The plate behind the brass pendulum has a few holes and one nail out. Howard, Boston, some surface cracks.
On the left side of the movement is E. I live outside Stuart Florida.
Louis mid August if you are on the way! First patented in 1802 by brothers Aaron and. Was one of the most popular clocks of its time.Despite the patent, it didnt take long for other clockmakers to jump on the bandwagon and copy the Willards design. Unfortunately for collectors of antique banjo clocks, many Willard banjo clocks do not carry their makers name, so it is often difficult to identify who made it. Originally called an "Improved Timepiece, " the. Later became known as a. Because it looked similar to the musical instrument. Its white, circular face, painted with black numbers (mostly Roman numerals), flows into a long, tapered neck, which meets at a square base.
The hinged door of the base is elaborately painted, often with a beautiful view, a naval scene, or an ornamental pattern. Thin pieces of curved brass often run down the necks of these clocks, and brass sculptures, most commonly of an eagle, routinely crown their tops. Howard, a clock making apprentice of Aaron Willard, Jr. Had commenced business with David P. Davis, manufacturing high-grade wall clocks under the name of Howard & Davis in 1842.
They also became known for their manufacture of sewing machines, fire engines and precision balances. About 1843, with a third partner, Luther Stephenson, they began to also manufacture tower clocks. Davis left the firm and Howard & Davis was dissolved and was succeeded by E.Both Howard and Davis had also been involved in watch manufacturing, somewhat unsuccessfully, since 1850, In 1857, Edward Howard began a new watch company and on March 24, 1861 combined his clock and watch businesses into one joint stock corporation, the Howard Clock & Watch Company, which failed in 1863. Thereafter, Howard formed a new company called the Howard Watch & Clock Company (transposing clock & watch) on October 1, 1863, which was successful for some years but was reorganized in 1881 after financial setbacks.
This firm continued the manufacture of many clock styles, primarily weight driven wall timepieces and regulators of fine quality. Only a couple common wall models, #5 and # 10, were produced as stock items, all others being manufactured by special order. Clocks were manufactured at Roxbury, a part of Boston, but in the early 1930's the operation was moved to Waltham, MA. A new firm known as Howard Clock Products was formed November 5, 1934 to succeed the earlier firm. Clock production was on the wane, but precision gear cutting business kept the firm profitable, particularly from government contract work.
Production of smaller clocks ceased in 1957 or 1958 and the last tower clock was produced in 1964. However, in 1975, Dana J.
Blackwell, as a new Vice President of the firm, revived clock production, reintroducing several of the more popular models to the market. Movements in these later clocks maintained the high standards the Howard firm had become famous for and cases were made to very strict specifications. Beckman eventually fired most of the firm's knowledgeable management and proceeded to drain it financially.By 1980, when the firm was at the verge of bankruptcy, Beckman was caught with a bunch of hired thugs in an attempt to blow up the factory building. After a lengthy trial he was convicted, though never served any time in jail.
At the time of Beckman's arrest, the Federal Government stepped in and the Howard firm was placed under Chapter 11 of the bankruptcy code. The item "E HOWARD & CO.

State Police say the passenger was not wearing a seatbelt when he was ejected from the car and pronounced dead at the scene.
Author: Dan Frye
HOWLAND, Maine — The Maine State Police say 30-year-old Ted MacArthur of Fort Fairfield died in a single-vehicle accident on I-95 south near exit 217 in Howland. The accident happened on Saturday at about 7:30 p.m.
Troopers say the driver, 30-year-old Leslie Greenlaw of Linneus, left the roadway and down the embankment hitting a culvert and rolled over.
MacArthur was not wearing a seatbelt was ejected from the car. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Greenlaw was treated for non-life threatening injuries at Northern Light Eastern Maine Medical Center.
State Police Reconstruction team was called to the scene to assist and troopers continue to investigate the cause of the crash.
A lawsuit alleges that more than 100 generic drugs were included in a price-fixing scheme
More than 40 US states have filed a lawsuit accusing pharmaceutical firms of conspiring to artificially inflate the cost of common medicinal drugs.
The lawsuit alleges that as many as 20 companies have been involved in fixing prices for over 100 drugs, including treatments for diabetes and cancer.
One of the firms accused is Teva Pharmaceuticals, the world’s largest producer of generic medicine.
Teva, which has denied any wrongdoing, says it will defend its actions.
The legal action, which follows a five-year investigation, accuses drugs companies of involvement in a scheme to boost prices – in some cases by more than 1,000% – and was filed on Friday by Connecticut Attorney General William Tong.
“We have hard evidence that shows the generic drug industry perpetrated a multi-billion dollar fraud on the American people,” Mr Tong said.
“We have emails, text messages, telephone records and former company insiders that we believe will prove a multi-year conspiracy to fix prices and divide market share for huge numbers of generic drugs.”
A representative of Teva in the US said that the Israeli company “has not engaged in any conduct that would lead to civil or criminal liability”, Reuters news agency reports.
The other 19 firms implicated in the lawsuit have yet to comment on the allegations.
Fifteen individuals were also named as defendants accused of overseeing the price-fixing scheme on a day-to-day basis.
According to the lawsuit, the drugs companies allegedly conspired to manipulate prices on dozens of medicines between July 2013 and January 2015.
It accuses Teva and others of “embarking on one of the most egregious and damaging price-fixing conspiracies in the history of the United States”.
Mr Tong said the investigation had exposed why the cost of healthcare and prescription drugs was so high in the US.
America’s healthcare system has been at the forefront of US politics for years.
President Donald Trump has frequently promised to dismantle the Affordable Care Act (ACA), better known as Obamacare, which was designed to make medical cover affordable for the many Americans who had been priced out of the market.
States have argued that eliminating Obamacare would harm millions of Americans who would struggle to meet the costs of medical care.
When the gates of the Miami Federal Correctional Institution closed behind him, ending his 39-year incarceration, Cuban exile and former anti-communist pilot Antonio Bascaro emerged holding an ominous record.
Bascaro, 84, has served the longest known US jail sentence for a non-violent marijuana conviction.
The city he finds is far from resembling the place he left back in the late 1970s when he was convicted of participating in a criminal organisation that smuggled more than 270,000 kg (600,000lbs) of Colombian marijuana into the United States.
Skyscrapers now soar above the south Florida horizon and many of the old tile houses of Little Havana, the Cuban exile neighbourhood where he spent most of his days before prison, no longer exist or have been converted into bars and restaurants.
There are even some legal medical marijuana dispensaries around the city which, for the octogenarian ex-cannabis smuggler, could not be more ironic.
Bascaro’s release after almost four decades also brings uncertainty about his future.
As a non-US citizen convicted of a major felony, he will find out next month if he will be deported.
His daughter Myra Bascaro is grateful he is free to go. “But where to?”, she wondered in an interview with BBC Mundo.
“To Cuba where he could get arrested again for having fought against Fidel Castro? To Guatemala where he met my mother but where he has nothing and nobody… the country that deported him to the United States almost 40 years ago?”
But in the meantime, he is back to enjoying Cuban coffee with his children. His first meal outside the | [

Concrete has been fully poured for the outer containment dome (OC dome) of Belarusian NPP Unit 1 (Rosatom State Corporation’s Engineering Division ASE acting as General Designer and General Contractor for the Project Construction).
‘OC concreting brings the construction and installation works at the reactor building to a close and allows the team to commence full-scale installation, balancing and commissioning works for the reactor plant equipment and systems,’ notes Mr Sergey Olontsev, Senior Vice President for Russian Projects Management, EC ASE, JSC.
All in all there has been placed 1500 cubic meters of concrete for the reactor building dome portion. The quality of concrete was being monitored throughout the entire performance time.
According to the Belarusian NPP design, the reactor building will have two containments, the inner and the outer one. The inner containment is a component of the passive safety system that prevents the leakage of radioactive substances into the environment in the event of hypothetical accidents.
The outer containment jointly with the inner containment serves as a physical protection against natural and man-caused external impacts, including earthquakes and hurricanes.
The Belarusian NPP with two VVER-1200 reactors having a total capacity of 2400 MW is being constructed under the Russian design in Ostrovets (Republic of Belarus). To construct the first NPP in Belarus, it has been decided to rely on the Russian 3+ generation design that is fully compliant with the international standards and IAEA safety recommendations.
Engineering Division’s Communications Department
ASE (the Engineering Division of ‘Rosatom’ State Corporation) was established by uniting the leading companies of the industry: EC ‘ASE,’ JSC, ‘Atomstroyexport,’ JSC, ‘Atomenergoproekt,’ JSC and ‘ATOMPROEKT,’ JSC.
ASE is one of the global leaders in nuclear power engineering holding 31% of the global NPP construction market. Its representative offices, branches and front offices are operating within the territories of 15 countries. Almost 80% of the order portfolio is composed of overseas projects.
The company implements designing and construction projects for high-power NPPs, RAW and SNF management facilities, thermal power facilities and renders the full range of EPC, EPC(M) and PMC services for any complex engineering facilities.
ASE develops and actively integrates the innovative Multi-D project management system in the area of complex engineering facilities construction that allows such parameters as budget, deadlines and quality to be more efficiently managed.
The ‘Rosatom’ State Corporation’s Engineering Division is chaired by Mr Valery Igorevich Limarenko. | [

I wanna configure LACP etherchannel between 4500X and 6807 Catalyst switches. But it does not work. The etherchannel is L2 and has 4 10G ports. BTW mode on works successfuly. But it's not desired. both switches are VSS pair. I upgraded both switches to Cisco suggested IOS-XE version but the problem didn't solved.
I tried all order of configuraion:
In both cases the'sh etherc su' command show me suspended state.
Any idea might help.
Tnx in advance
Are these directly connected or interconnected via fibre risers?
Have you tried using statc PC or even PAGP instead of LACP
I do remember having the same issue myself in which the PC didn’t come up when using link aggregation negotiation, I did manage to fix but I cannot think how!
Would you be able to share the PC configuration for both the 6500/4500 PC please, maybe that would jog my memory?
Just one thing, have you manually stipulated the LACP protocol on the physical interfaces?
Can you share your present interface and port-channel configuration also the output from the following:

Building a Home
This is a collection of articles that talk about the process of building a custom home from scratch. There are good books and websites on the subject that I catalog in some of my posts, but each of these tries to give a blow-by-blow of the process from conception to construction. I might've missed a few steps along the way because I started writing somewhere around 10% of the way in.

The amount of acidity in the atmosphere that deposits to earth through dry deposition depends on the amount of rainfall an area receives. Phase II began inand affects most of the power plants in the country. Some types of plants and animals are able to tolerate acidic waters and moderate amounts of aluminum.
However, dispersal from these taller stacks causes pollutants to be carried farther, causing widespread ecological damage. A common example is nitric acid produced by electric discharge in the atmosphere such as lightning. Acid Rain Damages Buildings and Objects Acid rain can also have a damaging effect on many objects, including buildings, statues, monuments, and cars.
Generally, the young of most species are more sensitive to environmental conditions than adults. The term acid rain was first used by Robert Angus Smith, a scientist working in Manchester in the s.
Some air pollution as a matter of fact comes from natural sources, but most is human made. In fact a chemist named Robert Smith found rainfall in Manchester, U. Emissions of such pollutants are heavily concentrated in the northern hemisphere, especially in Europe and North America.
Acid rain leaches aluminum from the soil. The health effects that people have to worry about are not caused by the acid rain, but are caused when people breathe in these tiny particles or ozone. It was implemented in two phases. Scientists generally use the term acid deposition but all three terms relate to the same issue.
Electrical power generation using coal is among the greatest contributors to gaseous pollutions that are responsible for acidic rain. The sulfuric and nitric acids formed in the atmosphere fall to the ground mixed with rain, snow, fog, or hail.
Subsequent Reports to Congress have documented chemical changes in soil and freshwater ecosystems, nitrogen saturation, decreases in amounts of nutrients in soil, episodic acidification, regional haze, and damage to historical monuments.
The moisture in the lungs can turn the sulphur dioxide into sulphuric acid, and cause damage to the body. This capacity depends on the thickness and composition of the soil and the type of bedrock underneath it.
Human activity The coal-fired Gavin Power Plant in Cheshire, Ohio The principal cause of acid rain is sulphur and nitrogen compounds from human sources, such as electricity generationfactories, and motor vehicles.

Acid rain hasn’t just occurred in the last twenty to thirty years. In fact a chemist named Robert Smith found rainfall in Manchester, U.K., to be very acidic.
Acid rain is a worldwide problem and has been well documented for eastern North America and the The phrase acid rain was first used in by Scottish chemist Robert Angus Smith during his investigation of rainwater chemistry near industrial cities in England and Scotland.
Introduction to Acid Rain. Acid rain is a widespread term used to describe all forms of acid precipitation (rain, snow, hail, fog, etc.).
Atmospheric pollutants, particularly oxides of sulphur and nitrogen, can cause precipitation to become more acidic when converted to sulphuric and nitric acids, hence the term acid rain. Acid Rain Damages Lakes and Streams Without pollution or acid rain, most lakes and streams would have a pH level near Acid rain, however, has caused many lakes and streams in the northeast United States and certain other.
Definition "Acid rain" is a popular term referring to the deposition of a mixture from wet (rain, snow, sleet, fog, cloudwater, and dew) and dry (acidifying particles and gases) acidic components. Acid rain is a serious and dangerous problem because it is very harmful to the environment.
It is a rain that has a very high concentration of acid-forming chemicals. These chemicals have been released into the atmosphere and joint with water vapor.Download | [

AbstractA microbial desalination cell (MDC) is a new method to reduce the salinity of one solution while generating electrical power from organic matter and bacteria in another (anode) solution. Substantial reductions in the salinity can require much larger volumes of the anode solution than the saline water, but any reduction of salinity will benefit the energy efficiency of a downstream reverse osmosis (RO) desalination system. We investigated here the use of an MDC as an RO pre-treatment method using a new type of air-cathode MDC containing three equally sized chambers. A single cycle of operation using a 1 g L -1 acetate solution reduced the conductivity of salt water (5 g L-1 NaCl) by 43 ± 6%, and produced a maximum power density of 480 mW m-2 with a coulombic efficiency of 68 ± 11%. A higher concentration of acetate (2 g L-1) reduced solution conductivity by 60 ± 7%, and a higher salt concentration (20 g L-1 NaCl) reduced solution conductivity by 50 ± 7%. The use of membranes with increased ion exchange capacities further decreased the solution conductivity by 63 ± 2% (20 g L-1 NaCl). These results demonstrate substantial (43-67%) desalination of water is possible using equal volumes of anode solution and salt water. These results show that MDC treatment could be used to substantially reduce salt concentrations and thus energy demands for downstream RO processing, while at the same time producing electrical power. © 2010 The Royal Society of Chemistry.

Shield generators were a form of technology used to generate force fields and were primarily used by the Galactic Empire. They were manufactured by Kuat Drive Yards and were very popular on the black market.
One type of generator, the Colicoid 49-v99 Deflector, was a small, military-grade model that was easily transferable. The Ghost crew once stole a stockpile of these generators from Imperial forces for use in their fleet.

Snowmass is a mountain that you will swoon over as you explore everything it has to offer
Born and raised on Colorado’s Western Slope, Snowmass was our big mountain the place we went for long weekends and mini-vacations. As young skiers, my brother and I loved exploring the glades bordering the easiest trails, where we could wander, dream and imagine.
As we grew older, the mountain grew with us. Our skills increased, and we graduated from the greens of Fanny Hill to the famous rolling blue groomers of Elk Camp. By the time we were in high school, Snowmass was a place to rendezvous with friends, staking a claim to the top of the world, shown on trail maps as The Big Burn.
The Snowmass of my childhood enjoyed a reputation as Aspen Snowmass’s family mountain. If Buttermilk and Ajax were joined together as “teaching” mountains and the mountain for “real skiers,” Snowmass was a destination of its own.
Organized skiing at Snowmass began in 1963 when commercial snow cats carried skiers up the mountain for an untouched, unmapped adventure. Four seasons later, in 1967, chairlifts were installed and the resort officially opened.
While the resort of my childhood was world famous for extensive intermediate terrain, there were greater challenges to be found, even at that time. Sam’s Knob was the spot for short shots of deep bumps, while my parents claimed the long, constantly changing fall lines of Campground where the real skiers hung out.
And while these original trails still form the heart of Snowmass, changes in the last two decades have expanded the mountain and its reputation. Today, the top of the world extends beyond The Big Burn, rising high above the tree line along the windswept Cirque.
Accessible by a modest Poma lift, the Cirque changed Snowmass from a family destination to a world-class destination. From the summit at 12,510 feet, skiers and riders have their choice of dropping down the Cirque headwall, jumping into challenging north-facing chutes or traversing across the summit to Hanging Valley, with its endless wall shots and glades.
As our family has grown, Hanging Valley has become our go-to spot, with deep powder, tree skiing, and steep moguls. It’s one of our favorite places to ski, not just at Snowmass, but anywhere.
Which brings me to the second time I fell in love with Snowmass.
By now, I was older and had children of my own. Our youngest son was just 3 and completing his first season on skis. Our older boy was only 6, but could ski most intermediate runs.
This was the first time our boys had been on a big mountain, away from our local area. Just like childhood me, they were thrilled by the countless lifts (now high-speed quads) and the kids’ trails through the trees (now official kid-terrain with signs, tunnels, mine shafts, and more). To them, this was Adventure. This was Skiing.
And just as our sons have grown, Snowmass continues to grow, too.
The past ten years have seen a new Base Village, complete with the Treehouse, a comprehensive children’s center, for lessons and other youthful delights, and a pulse gondola connecting this base with the original Snowmass Mall, which is also perpetually upgrading. I would add something here about Snowmass Base Village and the tremendous growth in the last 5 years! See the attached fact sheet for info on Snowmass Base Village, the Limelight, The Collective Snowmass & The Rink, etc.
New slope-side lodging, including the ski-in/ski-out the Viewline Resort Snowmass, which underwent a $40 million renovation in 2021, and is now a Marriott Autograph Collection Hotel. The Viceroy is getting a second tower, Cirque Residences X Viceroy, which should be complete in 2024. Additional restaurants, giving visitors even more reasons to stay slope-side, nine miles from downtown Aspen. The Limelight Snowmass is the base area’s newest lodging property and is perfectly situated to all of the Base areas amenities and lifts.
The Elk Camp Gondola broadens the options from the base, giving visitors easier access to the east side of the mountain, while the beautiful Elk Camp Restaurant provides greatly enhanced dining, as well as a focal point for mid-mountain beginner teaching terrain for adults and children alike.
Sam’s is a must-stop for lunch, snack, or cocktail. A 2019 renovation resulted in an exceptional dining experience with views that will knock your socks off. The Alpin Room, a the top of the Alpine Springs Lift, is another on-mountain dining destination that allows you to experience a taste of France.
