Dramatic audio released of Md. fire
911 operators are being commended by Prince George's County fire officials for smoothly communicating information that may have saved lives
By Manny Fantis
TEMPLE HILLS, Md. — Fire officials released dramatic 9-1-1 tapes on Monday of a Prince George's County fire on Sunday evening.
Firefighters were called out to the blaze at around 8:15 p.m., on the 3200 block of Beaumont Street. Two people were inside in the house when neighbors jumped in to help out, officials said.
"According to a witness report and a Fire/Department interview, we have learned that Mr. Gene Ward knocked on the door of the neighbors house at 3233 Beaumont Street and advised them their neighbors house was on fire at 3229 Beaumont Street. At that point Mr. Gene Ward and Mr. DeMitrius Handon ran over to 3229 Beaumont and were informed by the female owner Donna Musser and her son Chris that her husband was still trapped inside on the stairwell," officials said.
9-1-1 operators are being commended as well by Prince George's County fire officials for smoothly communicating information that may have saved lives.
"This information was... passed along to responding firefighters by way of two way radio. Also of note is the relatively calm manner in which citizens remained when providing information to the call takers," officials said.

A nice clean feel and scent. Dishes rinse completely. I do not have a dishwasher, so my hands are in the sink at least 3 times a day. My hands are smooth and not dry at all.
Suds are long lasting and plentiful.

Last week, Account Manager Samantha Ellis and International Consultants Pamela Rodriguez and Vicki Trpcevska were invited to attend a Singapore Airlines aircraft inspection of their new A380.
By attending aircraft inspections, our team develop a deeper understanding of the product by seeing it first hand, resulting in better advice and recommendations to our clients.
We all thoroughly enjoyed seeing the Business Class and First Class cabins as this is a luxury we hadn’t experienced when travelling.
Samantha particularly liked the new aircraft layout which sees downstairs made up of Premium Economy and Economy, with a lot more Premium Economy seats added. This leaves the entire upstairs to be made up of Business and First Class cabins.
The new First Class cabins were most impressive and provided ample space to be able to relax and unwind in comfort on your next flight.
The new configuration of Business and First Class allows particular seat allocations to be be joined together by dropping the middle partition, and is particularly practical when travelling together.
If you would like advice on flights that will feature the new aircraft and the best seats to reserve, contact our team now. | [

NEW DELHI: Opposition members in Lok Sabha
on Tuesday raised the issue of the alleged baton-charge by police on JNU students and demanded a high-level probe into the "atrocities" committed against the students of the university.
Raising the issue during Zero Hour, Trinamool Congress member Saugata Roy, Congress member T N Prathapan and BSP's Danish Ali
accused the government of using force to suppress the voice of students.
Roy dubbed as "unfortunate" the use of force on students, saying the fee hike should be rolled back as poor students will find it difficult to pay the amount.
Prathpan said students were protesting for their rights. "The government is undemocratically suppressing their voice against fee hike. The government is ruining higher educational institutions," he said.
BSP's Danish Ali, too, demanded a probe into the lathi-charge by the cops and sought an "apology" from the government. | [

Celtic are interested in bringing Reading winger Michael Olise and Hearts kid Aaron Hickey to Parkhead.
Neil Lennon has already started planning his playing squad for next season after winning the club's ninth consecutive title earlier this week.
Now the manager is looking for ample reinforcements to help Celtic reach the fabled 10 In A Row in 2020/21.
And teenagers Olise and Hickey, according to the Scottish Daily Mail, are both on Lennon's radar.
Olise, 18, has been capped for France at youth level and regularly featured for the Championship club before the coronavirus shutdown.
The winger spent time in the academies of Chelsea and Manchester City before his Madejski Stadium breakthrough.
Meanwhile Hickey, who was at Celtic before making the switch to Hearts' youth setup, is no stranger to the Parkhead side.
The left-back is likely to be available for far less than the previous asking price of £1.5million after the Gorgie club's relegation from the Scottish Premiership on Monday.
Jambos chairman Ann Budge is set to table a reconstruction proposal but it is unlikely to succeed.
It's also thought that Lennon is aiming to extend the loan deals of Southampton pair Fraser Forster and Mohamed Elyounoussi. | [

The film to stage transfer of "Elf" has returned to Broadway for the 2012 holiday season. NY1's Roma Torre filed the following review.
If your taste for holiday fare skews contemporary, "Elf" is your man, er human, er whatever. Based on the Will Ferrell movie, the musical picks up on the good humored story with a slightly sardonic edge and after two years it returns to Broadway with a new opening number and some new faces: Improvements for the most part that make "Elf" worth adding again to your theatergoing wish list.
Buddy is a human who ended up being raised as an elf on the North Pole after crawling into Santa’s bag one Christmas morning and decides to find his father in Manhattan. Thomas Meehan and Bob Martin's book packed with cultural references exploits the humor surrounding this utter innocent in big, bad New York City. It’s framed by narrative sequences from Santa, now played by Wayne Knight adding a sharper edge to the jolly old guy.
Matthew Sklar and Chad Beguelin’s music has some of the year’s catchiest tunes and their down and out "Nobody Cares About Santa" remains a highlight.
The iconic New York landmarks are delightfully rendered by David Rockwell.
And "Elf", caps off to Mitchell Sink as buddy’s half brother, a young man with mature talent.
As the father and stepmother, Mark Jacoby and Beth Leavel reprise their stock roles with unexpected nuance.
A roly poly Jordan Gelber goes a little over-the-top with his simpleton antics but his weird romance with Leslie Kritzer’s understated Jovie pulls him back enough to eventually win us over. And Kritzer is a stand-out.
Under Casey Nicholaw’s lively direction, "Elf" is a tall glass of eggnog spiked with a much needed New York state of mind. | [

So you have decided to dust off your guitar and to have a go at learning to play it – that’s great news because it is a decision you will not regret especially if you do a little reading up on guitar playing and learn some helpful tips for guitar beginners. Try and allow yourself an hour every day to practice, but if this isn’t possible, even 30 minutes most days are good – and better than several hours more infrequently. Before you start, pop into your local music shop to check that the guitar strings are in good condition and in tune.
Admire the workmanship that has gone into making your guitar. Find a comfortable chair and a comfortable sitting position, with the guitar at the correct angle. Look at a diagram of a guitar and learn the various parts Simply enjoy plucking each string in turn, with the index finger on your right hand.
What happens when you press your index finger on your other hand on one of the frets? Does the sound change? Is it a clear sound or is it muffled?
This is the first lesson in technique. To ensure that the chords you will be learning sound clear and strong, you must press the tip of your chord fingers (left hand) down firmly- this will need lots of practice and your fingertips could be a little sore until the skin hardens.
Spend some time listening to different types of guitar music and enjoy the different notes and rhythms.
Find some information on guitar chords and some helpful tips for guitar beginners to help you get the chords sounding good.
Learn the name of each chord and practice each until you are really happy with their sound.
Don’t put yourself under too much pressure- don’t try to learn too many chords at once. – it is easy to get into a muddle!.
Once you are feeling confident with the first five chords, it will be time to tackle another five! Again, have a look at some helpful tips for guitar beginners so that you can see the fingering used.
Definitely, some chords are much harder to play than others and involve really stretching your hand whilst trying to press the strings down firmly with your fingertips – not easy at first but with plenty of practice, you will be delighted with your progress and will soon be ready to tackle some easy songs for guitar beginners.
Well if your chords are beginning to sound good and you can play a sequence of three or four without hesitation it is fun to start paying attention to speed and rhythm. At this stage it is great to get some easy songs for guitar beginners – if things don’t go too well, you may need to practice those chords again, but if all is going well you can really have fun singing loudly ( best to warn any neighbours first!) and pretending to be your favourite pop star!
Guitar playing is relaxing and fun and nothing beats an informal sing song with friends – but it does take a time to master the basics and practice is really important. If you find that things are not progressing so well, simply go back a step and practice until you are pleased before trying anything new.
Whenever you are feeling things are getting tricky, it is best to put the guitar down and look at some helpful tips for guitar beginners because suddenly things will fall into place and you will be reaching for your guitar once again.

Westchester: Bill offers paid time off for domestic violence victims
The bill comes in addition to a separate act that would guarantee paid sick time for most employees in the county.
WHITE PLAINS – Victims of domestic violence would be able to take up to 40 hours of paid time off under a proposed law in Westchester County.
The bill would guarantee that victims can take time to attend civil or criminal court proceedings and move away from an abusive residence to a safe location.
Nine Democrats are on the county Board of Legislators are co-sponsoring the bill, which comes in addition to a proposed law that guarantees up to 40 hours of paid sick time for most employees in the county. This additional bill, called “The Safe Leave Act” was separated from the sick-time bill on the recommendation of county attorney John Nonna.
“Victims of domestic violence find themselves in a fragile situation of uncertainty, with fear for the safety of themselves and often children, through no fault of their own,” a legislative memo from the nin lawmakers stated. “This will provide them the peace of mind knowing that they will not lose their jobs and maintain their income to begin their independence.”
If the bill becomes law, the guaranteed paid time off would be in addition to sick time leave or any other time off resulting from mental and physical injuries sustained as a result of domestic violence.
Democrats have a 13-4 majority on the legislature and also have Democrat George Latimer coming to the end of his first year in office as county executive. Bills backed by the caucus can quickly make their way through committee and into law as a result. | [

Photoshop Tutorial - Adjustment Layers
This video is available Free for Everyone.
Running Time: 5 minutes
In Adobe Photoshop there are two different ways that you can make major corrections. You can make an adjustment by using the pull down menu, or you can learn to use Adjustment Layers. By using the pull down menu, you will effectively be damaging the file that you are working on. This is because any moves that you make are permanent. However, if you were to use Adjustment Layers, you would get the same options, but you can go backwards and make adjustments afterward. Effectively, this allows you to make the same corrections, but you can go backwards and alter it when comparing the move that you made with other layers, so you can constantly adjust as you are going forward.
Learning how to use Adjustment Layers is one of the most important skills in Photoshop CS5.5. | [

Platform on reducing food loss and waste
A new online platform aiming to help the global community step up action to reduce food loss and waste was unveiled by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in late July 2020.
The Technical Platform on the Measurement and Reduction of Food Loss and Waste brings together information on measurement, reduction, policies, alliances, actions and examples of successful models applied to reduce food loss and waste across the globe.
The platform is a gateway to all FAO food-loss and waste resources, including: the online collection of data on what food is lost and wasted and where; discussion forum on food-loss reduction; examples of successful initiatives; e-learning courses; food-loss and waste policy brief in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic; and tips on what everyone can do to reduce food waste.
It also connects to related portals from development partners, serving as a one-stop shop for all food-loss and waste knowledge.
The benefits of reducing food loss and waste
Reducing food loss and waste can bring about many benefits: more food available for the most vulnerable; reduced greenhouse gas emissions; less pressure on land and water resources; and increased productivity and economic growth.
Fixing the negative cycle of food loss and waste would bring the world closer to the 2015 Paris-agreement target of limiting global heating to below 2 °C. For example, cutting food loss by 25 per cent would offset environmental damage caused by future land use for farming. It means not having to destroy more forests, with devastating consequences for climate change and biodiversity, to produce more food.
Technological innovations can also tackle undesirable environmental impacts while saving food. In Kenya and Tanzania, for example, solar-powered cooling technology for chilling milk - through a project supported by FAO and Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) - helped prevent milk losses without creating any additional greenhouse-gas emissions. The same technology saves three million litres of water per year in Tunisia.

Bisphenol A (BPA), a chemical commonly found in plastics, can raise the risk of developing prostate cancer in infants and fetuses, according to new research. In earlier studies, it has been shown that BPA can increase the chances of getting asthma, heart, and kidney risks in babies. According to a study from the University of Illinois at Chicago, mothers and expectant mothers can now add a 21 percent increased prostate cancer risk in their infants.
BPA and other endocrine troublesome chemicals had earlier shown the ability to alter the development of tissues in babies. Researchers set up an animal model that used humanized prostate tissues in mice and exposed them to BPA to observe the impact that babies and fetuses. They then collected some tissue samples after 2 to 4 months and found that BPA had significantly increased prostate cancer rates by 21 percent because of an increased risk for human prostate epithelial neoplasia (PIN).
Michael Palese, MD, associate professor of urology at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City has stated that this study shows that BPA can change the composition of the cell over the time; it can develop into PIN, which is a precursor for cancer. He also added that with time, BPA makes cells more likely to turn into cancerous cells.
To lower the chances of developing these health conditions in your child, try these tips for avoiding BPA exposure.

Andy Kristian Agaba is a social entrepreneur and the founder of Hiinga, a micro-lending organization in Charlotte, N.C.
Many Africans, such as myself, see Kagame and Rwanda as a beacon of hope, a model of good leadership that is elusive on the continent. However, others, mostly from Western countries, are concerned about his longevity.
After his next term, Kagame will be eligible to stand for two additional five-year terms, and skeptics don’t expect him to hang up his boots. After all, Yoweri Museveni in Uganda, Joseph Kabila in Congo, Robert Mugabe in Zimbabwe and many others don’t want to relinquish power. If indeed Kagame decides to pursue the extra 10 years that the constitution allows, which I personally doubt he will do, he will have ruled as long as Lee Kuan Yew ruled Singapore. In fact, to really understand Rwanda is to study Singapore, which inspires Rwandans, and not their African neighbors. Lee transformed Singapore in one generation, leading the country from Third World to first world. He did not pursue populist policies, but rather pragmatic economic and social reforms with zero tolerance for corruption, akin to what we see in Rwanda today.
The West has often gotten it wrong when it comes to Rwanda. Shortly after the genocide, Kagame, to the consternation of the West, pursued indigenous restorative-justice models of forgiveness and reconciliation, as a starting point from perhaps the worst genocide since the Holocaust. The West had advocated a more punitive criminal justice, which Rwanda rejected. “We did not have judges, courts or prisons to put everyone, and even if we had them, that wouldn’t have solved our problem anyway,” Kagame told a group of Harvard and MIT students I had led to Rwanda in December 2015. “You can’t build a country with everyone in prison.”
Since then, Kagame has established credibility through inclusive social investments and accountable leadership to mend fractures and ultimately heal the land. He instituted universal health insurance and aggressive poverty reduction strategies to raise household incomes. He has inspired Rwandans to believe in creating their own destiny, to aspire for greatness and to walk in dignity. Leaders are tasked each year to create and meet data-driven targets, and Rwanda has one of the highest levels of citizen participation in policymaking.
Kagame’s progressive reforms have catapulted women into the upper echelons of government. At least half of both parliament and the judiciary is composed of women. Almost half of the cabinet is women, with some female members even whispered to be potential successors to Kagame. Foreign Minister Louise Mushikiwabo and Rwanda Development Board chief executive Clare Akamanzi are only couple of examples of female talent nurtured under Kagame’s leadership.
According to the World Bank, growth has averaged 8 percent over the past 15 years due to economic reforms that have made Rwanda among the best business environments in Africa. Corruption is abhorred, and broadband Internet access reaches remote corners, which has created opportunities to make Rwanda a tech hub and has inspired innovation and entrepreneurship. Manufacturing is growing, in spite of hardships that include its lack of a direct ocean port.
According to the World Economic Forum, Rwanda is the safest country in Africa and ninth-safest in the world. I have been traveling to Rwanda since 2007 and would like to relocate my family there once I return to Africa. This reality has encouraged migration of talent to Rwanda, especially from other East African countries. In just over 20 years as the de facto leader, and with extremely limited resources, Kagame has achieved what could take neighbors such as Uganda and Congo generations to achieve.
Despite his stellar performance, critics say Kagame should not “cling to power.” Many argue that he risks undoing all the gains and goodwill he has created as a nation builder.
I disagree. Africa needs its best chief executives. The emphasis on transitions over transformations, and elections over governance, has not yielded results. What Africa needs is selfless leadership to underpin functional governance, equitable economic growth, health care for all, competitive education, infrastructure development and human security. To this end, Africa has had many failed leaders, but Kagame is an outlier.
The evidence suggests that Rwanda’s form of democracy is better-suited to Rwanda in their current context. I believe that eventually, it will mature into a more liberal democracy as defined by Western standards. Nation building has no template, especially considering that this nation went through a genocide only 23 years ago. We must exercise patience with Rwandans.
Singapore is forever better because Lee offered himself for 31 years, despite outside opposition. With Kagame’s | [

New Video Interview with Sabbath Assembly!
The New York and Texas-based band Sabbath Assembly has a history that has caused some metal fans--purists in particular--to be a bit confused when first exposed to them, with much of their early material in particular hardly even being recognizable as metal by most definitions.
Their new release, Rites Of Passage, finds the band making a second major leap forward from an artistic standpoint, building on the harder foundation of the previous album while adding both cohesiveness and musical intricacy. As it turns out, it is also a much more personal statement from the band. Here, Myers and guitarist Ron Varod (also of Kayo Dot)--who joined after the release of the self-titled album to help Hufnagel duplicate its guitar parts live--talk with Maximum Metal's Vinaya Saksena about what led to the creation of this compelling album, as well as what may come next.

It could be tough to make straight down an offer of cash-in-hand from an installment loan provider, but loan renewal can result in that financial obligation spiral. When you get along the course of loan renewal it may be difficult to log off of it.
What exactly is an Installment Loan?
A set installment loan is a loan this is certainly reimbursed over a particular time period with a collection quantity of scheduled payments. It could be either a secured loan (e.g. Automotive loans, mortgages) or an unsecured loan ( ag e.g. Signature loans, student education loans).
An installment loan varies from a personal credit line, for example, that offers a maximum credit quantity you can easily borrow from, or loans that are payday which are generally smaller amounts at high interest levels.
Regards to Installment Loans
The quantity of time or “term” of this loan depends on what is being financed. A unsecured loan at Discover, for instance, varies from 36 to 84 months. Throughout that time the complete principal and interest regarding the unsecured loan is reimbursed in equal increments from month to month. Other kinds of loans can be smaller or longer.
People are aware of mortgages and auto loans but here are a few various kinds of installment loans:
- A loan that is personal
- House equity loan
- Home repair financing ( ag e.g. Brand brand new roofing)
- Appliance or technology funding
- Health worry financing
The difference that is key an installment loan along with other forms of loans is the period of time within that you’ve to pay for straight straight back the funds which you have actually lent.
With credit cards for instance, you might have line of credit of $5,000. When you spend as much as that maximum, you may be just needed to result in the minimum payment each thirty days. Most frequently, which will be a variety of principal and interest. You might carry on making that minimal re re re payment and investing any additional credit that can be found lacking any date that is ending.
What exactly is maybe perhaps maybe not an installment loan?
- A credit line
- Charge card
- Pay day loans or name loans (typically reimbursed in thirty day period or less)
Why Utilize an Installment Loan?
Installment loans can be used by people that choose predictability. Once you understand exacltly what the payment are going to be every month will help you to plan and budget consequently.
When you have good credit and a good credit history, a personal loan can be a beneficial form of instalment loan that will help you reach finally your objectives. You can easily get a competitive fixed rate with versatile payment choices and benefit from a possibly reduced month-to-month price than many other kinds of credit or interest rate debt that is variable.
Exactly what are Installment Loan Prices?
Much like many loans, your interest is determined by your credit rating, financial predicament if the mortgage is guaranteed or perhaps not. To check on your price and payment per month on a personal bank loan with Discover, without any effect to your credit rating, you can begin the procedure right here.

Another Western Cape police station, this time in the Overstrand, was evacuated and disinfected after a police officer tested positive for Covid-19.
Brig. Donovan Heilbron, group police chief for the Overberg area, confirmed this on Sunday.
Brig. National Police spokesman Vish Naidoo said on Monday that the Hermanus police station would be closed for 48 hours after one of its members announced on Sunday that he had been tested positive for the Covid 19.
“The building is currently being disinfected. The charge office was moved to a mobile building opposite the police station so that service delivery could continue. “
Naidoo also said measures have been put in place to ensure that operational duties are not compromised.
Reinard Geldenhuys, disaster manager for the Overberg District Municipality, said the fire department and other members working with dangerous substances and objects were sent to disinfect the building and vehicles.
However, police also sent their own contractors on Monday before the police station could be used again.
The police officer recently began to feel ill after which he was tested. His test results were received on Sunday and he immediately brought them to the attention of the police management. The police station was immediately evacuated and all police officers there were immediately informed.
All police officers who were in direct contact with the police officer were also immediately asked to go into self-isolation and to monitor their condition over the next few days.
Police are now tracking members of the community who have been in contact with the police officer. The people were also asked to go into self-isolation and monitor themselves. | [

Entry into force of the Benchmark Regulation – 30.06.2016
Regulation (EU) 2016/1011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2016 on indices used as benchmarks in financial instruments and financial contracts or to measure the performance of investment funds and amending Directives 2008/48/EC and 2014/17/EU and Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 has been published in the Official Journal of the European Union and enters into force on 30 June 2016.
Adoption of the Regulation of financial benchmarks by the European Parliament – 28.04.2016
On 28 April 2016 the European Parliament approved by a large majority in the plenary session the adoption of the proposed Regulation on financial benchmarks, following a political agreement by the Parliament and the Council in November 2015.
The Regulation will enter into force following formal adoption by the Council, which is expected in May 2016, and publication in the official journal.
Mandate to ESMA – 11.02.2016
On 11 February 2016 the Commission sent a mandate to ESMA for technical advice on possible delegated acts concerning the future Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on indices used as benchmarks in financial instruments and financial contracts. | [

Security organisations and agencies around the world deploy increasing amounts of video surveillance to monitor and protect people, property and public infrastructure. The amount of available footage is exploding, thanks to growing numbers of cameras operating at higher resolutions, making it difficult for human surveillance teams to analyse all of the footage – especially if they have other tasks.
Automated surveillance could help but requires advanced analytics to be effective in fighting crime. Many organisations have invested heavily in surveillance systems and are keen to exploit the video footage they have collected to this end. The EU-funded SURVANT project created a system to do exactly this.
“SURVANT addresses system scalability issues that emerge from the explosion in the amount of available video content,” says Mr Giuseppe Vella, SURVANT project coordinator. SURVANT analyses relevant surveillance videos to extract inter/intra-camera video analytics, before enriching this information with reasoning and inference. It then assists investigators to search efficiently and effectively through video archives, to find critical elements of criminal activity among the sea of footage.
The system uses deep learning algorithms – Convolutional Neural Networks and Recurrent Neural Networks – to analyse static and motion content, respectively. The algorithms sift through inter-camera tracking data and pick up recurring and dangerous subjects, finding the right balance between speed and accuracy. It can identify and track several objects or subjects of interest, incorporating many layers of information into the mix.
SURVANT extracts a predefined list of objects relevant to criminal investigations, along with their trajectories in time and space. It picks up appearance characteristics (e.g. person wearing red trousers), and for each object, can detect a list of actions (a person may walk, run, or loiter, for example). Certain predetermined crimes such as graffiti-painting, fighting, pickpocketing are automatically picked up, too.
The inference framework uses all of this information to discover high-level events such as criminal activity and/or investigative hypotheses. The system can reconstruct events in narrative form, taking into account spatial-temporal coordinates to build up a bigger picture, to track and even predict the evolution of a crime.
With an intuitive interface that needs just a couple of hours training to understand, users can search through videos and receive results produced with advanced visualisation tools. They can search for a person wearing a red blouse in a certain location, say, during a certain time period (selected by the user). Or search for anyone who is loitering next to a car.
Building on success
SURVANT is the follow up of a previous research project, ADVISE, which was co-financed by the EU. The goal here was to prove the final system in an operational environment. During the project, the team studied all aspects of video and image analysis and indexing: from object detection and tracking, to person recognition, to data protection and privacy assurance requirements.
Legal and ethical issues were also explored in detail, focussing on best practices to ensure protection of privacy and personal data – something now integrated into the system design.
“SURVANT delivers an intelligent and extensible framework for automated video analysis and analytics respectful of human rights according to European legal framework for privacy and data protection, avoiding disproportional use of personal data,” says Vella.
“The whole consortium is proud of the overall results of the project,” he adds. | [

Beta-carotene is widely used in perfume-and-cosmetic industry.
Beta-carotene is a powerful antioxidant, providing the breakdown of chain free-radical reactions in an organism, protection of macromolecules and biomebranes from damage, being a serious factor of the decrease in resistance of an organism to various pathogenic influences, including new formations. Beta-carotene increases regeneration of multilayered epithelium, which allows using it in dermatology, gynecology when treating diseases related to the epithelium damage. When applied to skin, beta-carotene not only improves metabolic processes in the skin itself, but also is absorbed through the skin, rendering positive influence on an organism in general. This beta-carotene property is utilized in the cosmetic products formulation for prevention of the skin ageing.
The introduction of beta-carotene into detergents and hand creams helps to prevent skin irritation, itch, to soften skin, decreaseу its dryness, promotes healing of scratches, cracks, improvement of the skin appearance and its general state.
Introduction of beta-carotene into the hair-care means allows solving the issue of their fragility, uneven structure, and formation of split ends.
Beta-carotene provides protection against sunlight and promotes even skin pigmentation. This property is utilized in the suntan means and helps to achieve even continuous suntan, along with decreasing in burns incidence risk and prevention of skin ageing.
Antioxidant supplements are introduced into cosmetic means formulation not only for skin protection but also for prevention of the peroxygenation of oils containing polyunsaturated fatty acids. Introduction of beta-carotene does not allow cosmetic products to deteriorate before time. | [

On a recent evening, I visited a local pizza shop in Ås, a little town just south of Oslo. I discovered that the two young men running Babylon Pizza were refugees from the war in Syria. As we talked, I learned that they were Christians, who spoke Aramaic.
Aramaic, as I knew, was the language that Jesus spoke. When he said, “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God,” Jesus was speaking Aramaic.
I asked them how to say “Hello” in Aramaic. Sargon wrote on a sheet of paper, “Shlama elohk”, with a deep guttural sound represented by the “hk”.
I said, “Shlama elohk, Sargon”. And to his friend, “Shlama elohk, Emad.” They smiled, perhaps at my guttural sound with an American accent.
Then I asked them how to say, “Thank you.” Sargon wrote, “Basima raba.” Accent on the “si”, accent on the “ra”.
Sargon told me that Aramaic is still the language of the town of Maloula, high on a mountainside near Damascus.
When my pizza was ready, I glanced at the paper and told my new friends, “Basima raba.” They smiled and said in their ancient language, “You are welcome.”
* * * * *
So I got to thinking, as I ate the cheese-and-mushroom pizza in my little apartment (you can see the door to my apartment building at the left of the picture): What would Jesus do if he came back today, December 7, 2016, to our troubled world?
Would he walk along the streets of Oslo, brightly lit with Christmas decorations, admiring the festive displays in the store windows? Would he sit down at a table set with a red tablecloth and shimmering candles for the traditional Christmas feast? Would he seek to find the Christmas spirit in a church where the choir sang “Joy to the World” while the organ thundered in the background?
Or would he... go to Aleppo in northern Syria, where war had devastated the country since the spring of 2011. Military jets flew over the city, targeting apartment buildings where people tried to sleep at night. Targeting marketplaces where people tried to find food enough to get then through another day. Targeting schools where children tried to live a normal life. Targeting hospitals where doctors with limited medical equipment tried desperately to keep their patients alive.
Jesus might well find the hospital ward where exhausted young women were giving birth to undernourished babies, while the building shook from the bombs exploding in the streets outside.
He might listen to the cries and the shouts in Arabic, which he understood and could speak... as he could also understand and speak Hebrew. He might lay a comforting hand on the sweaty forehead of a woman trembling with fear. He might lay an encouraging hand on the shoulder of a doctor who had no more anesthetics.
He might say “Basima raba”, thank you, to the brave men who wore white helmets as they dug people still alive out of the rubble of a collapsed building, and then brought the injured to the hospital.
And when the bomb from a jet roaring over the city struck its target–the last functioning hospital in Aleppo–where men wearing white helmets had just arrived with another ambulance loaded with bloody people, and where doctors who had not slept for an eternity washed their hands in a bucket of dirty water before they turned to the next patient, and where the lights went off again, and where women wondered why they had been cursed by this insane war, and where newborn infants took their first breaths and shrieked with their first cries of life... and the bomb exploded in the heart of the hospital.
Jesus, who had already been through his torture on the cross, might pick up a dead child, a child gray with a blanket of dust, and wonder why, after two thousand years, we were still butchering each other.
He might walk out of the wreckage of that hospital with the gray dead child in his arms, so that he could walk along the brightly lit streets of Oslo and Paris and Berlin and Saint Petersburg and Moscow and Beijing and San Francisco and Fifth Avenue in New York. He might carry that child into the United Nations in New York, and lay it on the podium at the front of the General Assembly, for every nation in the world to see... before he told them, “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God.”

HBO’s “Project Greenlight” is a reality show with backstabbing, alliances and tribal warfare – in other words, it’s about Hollywood.
The 12-part series, executive-produced by Oscar-winners Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, follows novice filmmaker Pete Jones as he directs his first feature film, “Stolen Summer,” while being followed 24/7 by documentary filmmakers chronicling his every move.
The series, in essence, tries to peek into the Hollywood moviemaking experience warts and all – including those long, long breaks between shots and on-set politics.
“This is not about a bunch of people stabbing each other for a million dollars or getting naked or doing some weird stuff,” Affleck told Britain’s Radio 1.
“This is a documentary hopefully showing people what it’s really like to make a movie, but at the same time providing the opportunity for somebody who was on the outside of the Hollywood power structure to get the opportunity to make their movie.”
That’s the shorthand version of “Project Greenlight,” which premieres Sunday at 10 p.m. In reality, Jones entered an online contest along with 10,000 other hopefuls who submitted their scripts to Affleck, Damon and co-executive producer Chris Moore.
The winner, who turned out to be Jones, was awarded $1 million to shoot his movie with the backing of Miramax Films – and under the constant surveillance of a camera crew.
“The weird thing was having people thinking my story was interesting enough to follow me around 24 hours a day – I’m a pretty boring human being,” says Jones, a former researcher for “The Roseanne Show.”
“But that was part of the deal of winning the contest,” he says of the ever-present cameras. “When I was on the set directing the movie I completely forgot they were there. I had too much to worry about.”
Jones says that the “Project Greenlight” camera crew even followed him home – where he definitely was cognizant of their presence.
“When I came home [with the camera crew] my wife and I acted like we really loved each other – I even discussed my feelings with her,” he says wryly.
Jones says he had just finished his “Stolen Summer” script when he sent it into the contest, without having first shopped it around Hollywood (the usual moviemaking route).
“It wasn’t really the kind of script Hollywood was clamoring for – a movie about religion starring kids for adults,” he says. “The studios couldn’t have figured out the [product] tie-ins for that one.”
Jones says Affleck and Damon gave him notes on the script (“It’s hard to ignore Oscar-winning screenwriters”) but backed away once filming on “Stolen Summer” began in Chicago with stars Brian Dennehy, Aidan Quinn, Kevin Pollak and Bonnie Hunt.
“They said, ‘We’ll give you our opinions, but in the end it’s your movie – do it the way you want,’ ” Jones says. “They were great about it.
“I’m afraid that when people see this show, they’re going to find out that directing a movie isn’t really that hard,” he says. “This is going to de-mystify the filmmaking process.” | [

Sydney community must be more involved in airport policy.
Federal Member for Batman Shadow Minister for Regional Development, Transport, Infrastructure and Tourism
Martin Ferguson MP
MEDIA RELEASE 12 June 2003
SYDNEY COMMUNITY MUST BE MORE INVOLVED IN AIRPORT POLICY
Federal Labor is committed to a partnership with state and local government on urban development.
This must include more community consultation and involvement in Federal decisions that impact on local communities.
Martin Ferguson told the Western Sydney Transport Forum today that the Howard Government is not listening to the views of the Sydney community on airport and aviation policy.
The Howard Government is selling airports without any proper plan in place for Sydney’s future aviation needs.
This decision was made without consultation or consideration of the future needs of local communities.
The future of the smaller basin airports and a future second Sydney airport has significant ramifications on the design and development of this region and the Federal Government is ignoring this.
Federal Labor has listened to the community and we responded with the decision to keep the small airports in public ownership and further consult on Sydney’s aviation needs.
The sale of these airports must be abandoned now to allow proper community consultation on airport policy.
Mr Ferguson also said that Labor’s Federal Platform is under review including the policy to build a second airport in the Sydney basin.
He said this review is an open process and encouraged community input into Labor’s policy.

The space debris problem began to develop decades ago, but it has been with the boom in the exploitation of the Earth orbit for the location of satellites when the problem has grown exponentially, reaching the point of being able to compromise security in space, and forcing changes in plans at the last minute, in order to prevent risks.
Only a couple of weeks ago we learned that, due to space debris, the International Space Station had to urgently apply a course and position modification. In addition, during the same and until the space debris moved away from the station, the astronauts had to stay on the Soyuz currently docked to the International Space Station, ready to detach from it and return urgently to Earth. Fortunately it was not necessary, but even so the station has remained for several days, since then, under a special security protocol.
Everything seemed to have returned to normal, and a spacewalk had been scheduled today in which Thomas Marshburn and Kayla Barron were to replace part of a station communications antenna. However, as we have been able to read in SlashGear, the activity had to be suspended And, like what happened two weeks ago, it was the fault of space debris. Fortunately, the operation was not urgent, so it has been postponed.
The antenna in which the operations were to be carried out is part of one of the station’s communication systems with the Earth, and for some time it does not work correctly. It is not a serious problem, since the station has redundant systems, so even in the hypothetical case that the antenna failed completely, communications would not be lost. However, space debris has once again conditioned human operations in space. And it will certainly not be the last.
Earlier this month, in the context of a test of a Russian defense system, a missile detonated a satellite, generating a huge volume of space debris, both due to the thousands of fragments into which the satellite was divided, as well as those of the missile itself. Although at the moment it has not been officially confirmed, there are suspicions that the fragments of space debris responsible for this cancellation have their origin in said detonation.
Everything points to the operation it was the sole responsibility of the Russian military establishment, and that the country’s space agency was not even aware of it. In any case, the response from the international community was unanimously critical. Countries must assume that intentionally generating space debris is a huge show of irresponsibility. It’ll be the last time? I wish I could say yes, but I find it too optimistic. | [

Enticing entryways contain color, fragrance
Natives to plant that both beautify and attract pollinators
I don’t know why entryways tend to be formal and monochromatic. Entryways should have the same requirements as any wonderful garden: color, texture, height variation and especially fragrance. There’s nothing more inviting to friends and family than a sweet-smelling courtyard or just some lovely, colorful flowers.
I’m all about native plants, but I have found many valuable exceptions. I have two plants of sweet almond bush, Aloysia virgata, growing on either side of the entrance to our courtyard. These are not natives, but the fragrance is so heavenly and the lure for pollinators is so strong that I’m happy to have them. Atala butterflies, along with hairstreaks, crescents and blues are attracted to the lovely spikes of intensely fragrant pure white flowers. This is a fast-growing 8- to 10-foot shrub that needs full sun for optimal flowering and looks wonderful near a wall or next to a walkway where its fragrance can be fully appreciated. Occasional pruning will help maintain a more compact canopy, but it is lovely as a graceful, airy, freestanding specimen. Drought tolerant and not fussy as to soil, this makes an excellent addition to any sunny garden.
Another wonderful plant for fragrance is Brunfelsia americana, or Lady of the Night. This small shrub produces clusters of bright white flowers over mounds of dark green glossy foliage. The heady perfume is strongest at night, making it a delight to walk past in the evening. Happy in sun or part shade, this will reach a height of 4-5 feet with a slightly smaller width. The fragrance is quite simply, intoxicating.
But we really need to plant natives for sustainable ecosystems, so here are a few more to add color and interest. Necklacepod, Sophora tomentosa, is a delightful member of the pea family; those of you who have grown snow peas will instantly recognize the similarity in the golden yellow flowers. This is a showy, multi-stemmed shrub from 5 to 8 feet with long spikes of sparkling yellow flowers that hummingbirds and butterflies cannot resist. The young leaves provide larval food for the Martial Scrub-Hairstreak. With foot-long, pinnately compound leaves, this has an almost fernlike appearance; the velvet gray new growth has a silvery tint. Its salt and drought tolerance make it a perfect candidate for coastal plantings, and its bright, cheerful year-round color deserves a place in any sunny garden.
One of my favorite natives for sun or part shade is Tradescantia ohiensis, the charming spiderwort. Don’t let the common name put you off — this has nothing to do with spiders or warts. This lovely, low-care drought-tolerant gem of a plant forms airy grasslike clumps of foliage topped with tall spikes of beautiful three-petaled lavender blue flowers with bright yellow stamens. This works well as a ground cover or low border plant, but I love it added to an empty place in the garden where it adds a brilliant spot of color.
Wild sage, Lantana involucrata, is another Florida native that should be more widely cultivated. The lovely clusters of small white fragrant flowers have yellow centers and are tinged with violet on the edges. These are a favorite nectar source for butterflies and hummingbirds. This is a terrifically tough plant, resistant to drought and salt; it is found on beach dunes and in pinelands in the wild. While it can grow to 4 feet, occasional pruning will keep it compact and bushy. Do not confuse it with the exotic Lantana camara, which has yellowish red flowers and is invasive and poisonous.
Finally, I want to mention sweetscent, Pluchea odorata, a native in the aster family with soft clusters of fragrant pink flowers that attract numerous butterflies. This plant has all the attributes of a great garden specimen: it’s fast-growing, salt tolerant, not particular as to soil or moisture, and sports spicy aromatic leaves and flowers; but it has never received much attention. Growing to 3 feet in full sun, it works well as a border plant or nestled near milkweed to provide color after the monarch larvae have consumed their hosts. Also called fleabane, it has been used medicinally and was placed in bedding to prevent fleas.
The Preservation Foundation recently presented an important lecture on the impact of butterfly and pollinator gardens. The bottom line is that every landscape really does matter and everything we plant is critically important to maintaining healthy ecosystems in our environment. Eighty percent of flowering plants depend on insect pollinators, which ensure food in the form of fruits | [

The Urban Land Institute (ULI) has announced five finalists for the Urban Open Space Award, a competition identifying exceptional examples of flourishing public open spaces that have encouraged economic and social rejuvenation within their neighborhoods. To qualify for the competition, projects must have been open to the public for a minimum of one year and a maximum of fifteen years. The open spaces must also be situated predominately outside, offer ample and diverse seating, sun and shade, and plantings, among other specific requirements.
Brooklyn Bridge Park (Pictured at top)
New York, New York
Project Owner: Brooklyn Bridge Park
Designer: Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates
From ULI: More than 32 acres have been built, including Pier 1, Pier 5, Pier 6, Squibb Park and Bridge, and Jane’s Carousel. New elements include Pier 5, the park’s first active recreation pier, and Squibb Park Bridge, which provides a vital circulation link to the surrounding community and public transit. The park’s greenway serves as a major connective thread through the park and along Brooklyn’s East River waterfront.
Project Owner: Metro Nashville Parks and Recreation Department
Lead Design Consultant: Hargreaves Associates
From ULI: Cumberland Park demonstrates Nashville’s commitment both to its children and to sustainability through brownfield remediation, floodplain preservation, stormwater harvesting, improved biodiversity, and interpretation of cultural and natural resources. It is a park that showcases its distinctive site qualities to attract families for imaginative play, events, and interaction with Nashville’s rich riverfront history.
Cumberland Park and the neighboring redeveloped Bridge Building are the first constructed phases of a master plan prioritized to draw residents and visitors back to the river and downtown.
The Village on False Creek
Vancouver, British Columbia
Project Owner: City of Vancouver
Designer: PWL Partnership Landscape Architects
From ULI: Located on a previously industrialized 80-acre waterfront site, The Village on False Creek, Vancouver’s premier sustainable neighborhood, exemplifies a new green-infrastructure-based approach to the public realm through the introduction of restored natural environments into a highly urban community.
The public realm is composed of Hinge Park, Habitat Island, a waterfront park, and neighborhood streets. Together they provide multiple and varied recreational opportunities while acting as kidneys for the neighborhood, cleansing stormwater runoff before it reaches the ocean.
The Yards Park
Project Owner: District of Columbia
Designer: M. Paul Friedberg & Partners; Developer: Forest City
From ULI: The goals of Yards Park are to bring Washingtonians to the Anacostia River, provide a transformative and vibrant public space, and generate social, economic, and ecological value.
Yards Park offers an eclectic blend of human-scale experiences; active and passive spaces; custom furniture, shade structures, and plantings; and differentiated elements such as a sculptural bridge, public art by Jamie Carpenter, and various circulation paths and water features.
In 5.7 acres, Yards Park eschews monumental scale for a series of outdoor rooms that rotate around central organizing elements of water and topographic change. Its programming strategy includes both large-scale festivals and smaller gatherings. Yards Park serves as cultural anchor to the Yards and the greater Capitol Riverfront area, reconnecting the city’s grid to the water.
Wilmington Waterfront Park
Project Owner: Port of Los Angeles
Designer: Sasaki Associates
From ULI: Wilmington Waterfront Park, comprising nearly 30 acres, mediates the relationship between the residential neighborhood of Wilmington and the intensely active Port of Los Angeles.
Reclaiming derelict, industrial brownfield land as new public open space, the park serves as a new recreational amenity while mitigating the threat of hazardous environmental waste, air and noise pollution, and dangerous industrial traffic from neighborhood streets. The park provides a safe, accessible new public realm; celebrates the vibrant community culture; interprets the site’s past; and creates a new memorable destination within a previously underserved neighborhood of Los Angeles. | [

At the age of 6, I decided I wanted to be pearl diver - I had seen a display in a museum of a coral reef and thought it was the only profession that would enable me to go to such a wonderful place. I started freediving every opportunity, then was certified in 1969.
What I like best about my job:
I spend time underwater and meet fish, dolphins jellies, and other wonderful creatures. I've logged many thousands of dives yet every dive has been different.
Words of wisdom for those starting their career in the diving industry:
Do it because you love it and would rather be doing it than anything else. When you have a job that you'd do -- even if you aren't paid for it -- you've got the right job.
Best way to keep a competitive edge:
Never stop learning.
Biggest change I have seen in the professional diving industry since I started:
Too much dependency on technology and not enough emphasis on basic survival skills.
Many: Dr. Sylvia Earle, Valerie Taylor
About You, "The Person"...
Something you'd find on my bucket list:
Diving more places way way way off the beaten track...those places where the 'dive boat' is often a dugout canoe.
What I am most proud of:
The researchers and staff of the Shark Research Institute. They are -- every one of them -- amazing and dedicated individuals.
Evil prevails only when good people are silent.
Something people would be surprised to learn about me:
I don't trust horses - they have big teeth, big feet & to climb on their backs and kick them in the ribs seems nuts. I wouldn't do that to a shark.
Five wishes for the future:
1. Ban longlining worldwide, 2. Prohibit purse seines worldwide, 3. End shark finning worldwide. 4. Stop overfishing, worldwide. 5. Stop using the ocean as a garbage dump. | [

Prune mums in fall by cutting them back to 3-4 inches from the ground. Pruning mums in fall is essential for their growth and to promote better blooming the following year.
Trimming mums in autumn helps to maintain their shape, prevent diseases, and stimulates new growth. By cutting the plants back to 3-4 inches from the ground, you remove dead or damaged stems and encourage stronger, healthier growth during the dormant period.
This process also allows the plant to conserve energy and focus it on building a robust root system. With proper pruning, mums can come back stronger and produce more vibrant flowers in the next blooming season. However, pruning should be done before winter sets in to avoid damaging new growth or disturbing the plant’s natural hardening-off process. So, let’s dive into the details of how to prune mums in fall effectively.
Benefits Of Pruning Mums In Fall
Pruning mums in fall offers several benefits. Firstly, it enhances the overall health of the plant. Secondly, it promotes better blooming in the next season. Lastly, it helps in controlling the plant’s size and improving its shape. By removing dead or diseased stems, the plant becomes healthier and more resistant to pests and diseases.
Cutting back the mums also encourages new growth and more abundant blooms in the upcoming year. Additionally, pruning helps maintain a compact and attractive shape, preventing the plant from becoming too leggy or sprawling. Overall, fall pruning is essential for maximizing the beauty and vitality of mums in the garden.
When To Prune Mums In Fall
Late summer or early fall is the ideal time to prune mums, depending on your climate and variety. It is important to prune them before the first frost sets in. Pruning mums during this time will help them prepare for winter and promote healthy growth in the following season.
When pruning, make sure to remove any dead or damaged stems and foliage, as well as any diseased or insect-infested parts. Trim the stems back to about 6 inches from the ground, leaving a few leaf nodes intact. This will encourage new growth and help the mums conserve energy during the winter months.
By following these guidelines, you can keep your mums looking their best and ensure their longevity for seasons to come.
Tools Needed For Pruning Mums In Fall
Pruning mums in the fall requires a few essential tools. First, you’ll need clean and sharp pruning shears to ensure a precise and clean cut. Additionally, don’t forget to wear gardening gloves to protect your hands from thorns and sharp edges.
Before and after pruning, it’s essential to use a disinfectant solution or rubbing alcohol to avoid spreading diseases between plants. Clean tools help prevent the transmission of pathogens, ensuring the health and vitality of your mums. Don’t overlook the importance of proper pruning techniques in fall, as it encourages new growth and enhances the overall appearance of your plants.
So, gather your tools and get ready to prune your mums for a stunning display next season.
How to Prune Mums in Fall: Step by Step Guide
Pruning Techniques For Different Mum Varieties
Pruning mums in fall requires different techniques depending on the variety. To encourage better branching in dendranthema mums, use the pinching technique. For chrysanthemums, a hard prune will help rejuvenate the plant. Light pruning is sufficient for garden mums to maintain their appearance.
When pruning, make sure to remove dead or damaged stems and foliage. Trim back the plant by one-third to one-half of its height. Avoid cutting too close to the ground to prevent root rot. As fall approaches, it’s important to prune mums to ensure their health and promote new growth in the spring.
Remember to prune carefully and enjoy a vibrant display of mums in your garden!
Caring For Pruned Mums In Fall
Pruning mums in the fall is essential for their continued health and vigor. After pruning, it’s important to water the plant deeply to ensure proper hydration. Additionally, mulching around the base of the plant provides insulation and protection from extreme temperature fluctuations.
This helps to maintain a stable environment for the mums during the winter months. By following these care techniques, you can ensure that your pruned mums thrive and produce beautiful blooms year after year. So, make sure to give them the attention they need during the fall season for optimal growth and longevity.
Overwintering Pruned Mums
Fall is the perfect time to prune mums for overwintering. When it comes to preparing mums for winter, selecting a suitable storage location is crucial. You should insulate the plant with burlap or straw to protect it from harsh weather conditions | [

To celebrate the success of his latest album, the rapper orders from Tiret eight karats of yellow, black, brown and white diamonds for his watch.
Fashionable hip-hop star Kanye West has celebrated the success of his latest album by splurging $180,000 on a diamond-studded watch featuring an image of his own face.
The rapper's "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy" disc has been hailed as a modern-day classic by music critics around the world since its release in November, and he ended 2010 on a high by having his project named album of the year in a variety of polls.
And West has marked the occasion by commissioning watchmakers at Tiret to design a one-off, 18-karat gold timepiece, decorated with over eight karats of yellow, black, brown and white diamonds to depict his likeness on the dial.
But he's not the first artist to do so - last month, R&B hitmaker Usher is reported to have purchased a similar Tiret piece bearing his own image on the watch face. | [

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM OPERATION (Contd)
(4) The major components for swinging the crane left and right for the SWING action are:
SWING MOTOR - Converts hydraulic power back into mechanical power needed to turn the crane turntable when
hydraulic fluid is forced through its worm gear. This gear turns a large gear at the base of the turntable to swing
TURNTABLE ASSEMBLY - Driven by the swing motor through a ring gear at the base of the assembly, permits
the crane to swing 360 degrees.
SWING CONTROL LEVER - Manual control attached to the control valve that determines hydraulic oil flow for
swinging wrecker boom to the left and to the right. Lever is pushed inward for left boom movement, and pulled
outward for right boom movement.
SWING CONTROL VALVE - TIwo-way hydraulic valve located directly below swing control lever. Valve directs
hydraulic oil from the hydraulic pump to the swing motor assembly and back through the valve to the hydraulic oil | [

Russian oil cos could earn $13 bln per year extracting lithium from brine - report
MOSCOW. April 26 (Interfax) - Russian oil companies could become major producers of lithium by extracting the metal from brine at previously drilled oil and gas wells, and potentially generate up to $13 billion of additional revenue annually by 2040, Vygon Consulting said in a study.
Global demand for lithium will reach 3.4 million-6.1 million tonnes of lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE) by 2040, foremost on the back of growing production of batteries for electric vehicles, Vygon forecast. The potential supply of lithium, meanwhile, is expected to total 3.9 million tonnes by this time. Due to demand outstripping supply, the price of lithium is expected to be about $35,000 per tonne of LCE or higher in the period from 2025 to 2040, which is far above production costs.
The resource base for lithium in Russia, after calculation of profitable reserves, could be increased from 5 million tonnes to 114 million tonnes of LCE, Vygon said. The company's experts believe the most promising way to produce the metal is to extract it from brine at previously drilled oil and gas wells. This would save on capital expenditures thanks to developed infrastructure. Vygon estimated the potential reserves in Russia at 108 million tonnes of LCE.
Russia could be producing 250,000 to 600,000 tonnes of LCE annually by 2040, which would amount to 15% of potential global demand, Vygon said. The company's optimistic scenario sees Russian producers earning about $20 billion annually from lithium sales, with oil and gas companies extracting lithium from brine earning 75% or $13 billion of this revenue.
"We believe that for oil companies this is basically a strategic option that could enable them to enter the most promising market, the battery production market, in future. We have colossal potential: high lithium content in formation waters makes it possible to commercially extract it using evaporation technology. Considering that prices are currently above $60,000 per tonne of lithium carbonate, while the production cost will be about $5,000/tonne, we have all the prospects," Vygon Consulting managing director Grigory Vygon said at the National Oil and Gas Forum. | [

Funny how one's imagination jumps from one idea to another. In an interview, someone once asked where the idea for my novel SECOND TIME AROUND came from.
My response? I was thinking about how, in my younger days, it used to be a requirement that a woman wore a hat for all occasions. From there, I began to wonder if anyone ever favored a particular hat that became associated with important events in her life. That might make an interesting story, I told myself. I even did internet research and collected a variety of hat images to inspire the plot.
But then the story morphed and instead of hats, my imagination conjured up a particular woman. One who is recently-widowed, a mature business woman suddenly confronted with a man she believes is her first love. Then my imagination did a now-familiar twists and added this element. Suppose this first love was supposedly killed on his way to propose to her twenty-eight years previously. That story became a romantic/suspense set in Dallas, Texas with the action taking part in the 50's & 70's. And yes, I did include a scene that featured a particular hat she favored.
Many times my novels begin with a character that takes up residence in my thoughts. My job is to just visit with him or her, listen to them talk about their lives, watch some of their activities, notice the surroundings. Only when the conflicts start to emerge can I begin to write their story.
It's really a fun ride--the writing, that is. But don't ask my opinion about the other side of the picture, getting the story published and convincing people to spend their money to buy your books. | [

This week, I read Matthew Ridley's book, The Evolution of Everything. The timing was providential. It was exactly the book that I needed to write Part Five of my book, Christian Economics: Teacher's Edition, which I am posting daily here. I have been waiting to find a book like Ridley's for 35 years... to refute.
He believes in Darwinian evolution. I mean, he really believes it. He thinks it governs everything. He is also a disciple of Hayek, Mises, and even Ron Paul. So, his account of economics is accurate. His account of genetics is not. He ignores the book that I recommend to anyone who calls himself a Darwinist: David Stove's Darwinian Fairytales (1995). Stove's demolition of the book that Ridley relies on, The Selfish Gene, is one of the most devastating intellectual attacks I have ever read. It is also one of the funniest. What makes it even more devastating is that Stove is a Darwinist with respect to species other than man.
Ridley's book has lots of insights that I never would have thought of. I especially found interesting his chapter on the evolution of personality. It begins with the work of Judith Rich Harris, who is a psychologist at Bell Laboratories. She wrote a book in 1998: The Nurture Assumption. She wrote another one in 2006: No Two Alike. Here is one of her insights, according to Ridley.
Harris's explanation is ingenious and persuasive. She points out that human beings develop certain social systems as they mature--to socialise, to develop relationships and to achieve and recognise status. Socialisation means learning how to fit in with other people of your own age. Children acquire their habits, their accents, their favoured language, and most of their culture from their peers. They spend a lot of time learning to be similar to these peers. In forming relationships, however, they learn to discriminate between different people, adopting different behaviors with different individuals.
And then in their teens they begin to assess their relative status within their peer group. In the case of men, this mostly means working out how tall, strong and domineering you are, and adjusting your ambitions and personality accordingly. there is a fascinating finding in economics that taller men earn more money throughout their careers, but that it is their height at 16, not 30, the best predicts their earnings. The reason for this, as other studies have shown, is that this is when men decide their status, and shape their personalities accordingly. So what employers are rewarding are the attributes of self-confidence and ambition that came partly from being a tall, strong football player at school, rather than the height of the person today. Women tend to decide their status based largely on relative attractiveness, and they judge their attractiveness based on how others seem to judge them. In both sexes therefore, says Harris, there is a tendency to settle some aspects of your personality in the mid-teens, based on how high you think your relative status is amongst your peers. That, she thinks, is the likely cause of the differences in personality that are not directly or indirectly genetic (p. 163).
I don't know if this is unique to the United States, and especially the education system. It may exist in other cultures. But I have little doubt that it does exist here.
What we are at the age of 16 should not have much influence on what we are at the age of 30, but it does. If you are in any way thinking of taking a leadership position, you may have to overcome what you were at 16.
Most people at age 16 have not had major victories. I did, and these were significant in shaping my self-image.
But I did not have a normal high school experience.
I suggest that you sit down with a pencil and a piece of paper and write down your good qualities and bad self-image at the age of 16. Create a T-square. On the left-hand side, write down the positive things that you did at age 16. On the right-hand side, write down the negatives that have afflicted you ever since.
Which influences at the age of 16 are stronger in your life today? My bet is that the negatives overwhelm the positives. You may even have trouble remembering the positives in your life at age 16. Most people at 16 were struggling to figure out who they were and how they fit in. That should have little bearing on how they fit in today, but it does.
If, in retrospect, you find that your self-image at age 16 has afflicted you ever since, that's where you have to start working on a kind of self-confidence recovery project. You should recognize that what you were at 16 should not have much influence over what you are now and how you think of yourself now. You have had a lot of victories since the age of 16.

A green, lush-looking lawn is a pleasing sight to see and an essential part of any home. But like any other garden area and yard, your lawn needs constant attention and care from time to time. So when your lawn looks tired, ragged, and overgrown, your lawn might need a little pick me up.
Restoring your lawn to its former glory needs a little more than simple fixes. It's an entire grass overhaul. But it doesn't have to be complicated as there are easy ways to help you restore your lawn.
1. Find and Determine What Issues Need Tending in Your Lawn
The first part of the restoration process is finding the root of the problem. A tired-looking lawn with brown patches and rough soil is more than just "needs watering." It might be due to thatch buildup, weeds, compacted soil, or the soil needs aeration. Grass is reasonably simple to take care of as long as you tend it often.
Weeds and thatch buildup over time if the grass is left on its own and can deter healthy grass growth. In particular, too many weeds weak your grass roots, deterring grass growth. Removing weeds and raking the lawn to see if it needs dethatching and aerating can help know if the grass needs help or if it's just not in season. However, if it's more than just weeds and thatch, treatments using non-chemical solutions might help speed up the process.
2. Clean Your Lawn to Prepare It for The Process
To make the restoration easier, clean your lawn of observable problems. Cleaning your lawn can be done by raking, mowing, cutting, and tilling the area. There is no specific order where to start, but the easiest is to start by removing grass weeds. You can do this by using weed killers or doing it manually. If the weeds are gone, and there’s still dead and dry material, you can rake and start dethatching the area to get rid of excess organic material and to help loosen the soil. This process also helps the soil breathe and bares it to help it absorb the solutions you might apply.
3. Lawn Booster vs Non-Selective Herbicides
Lawn boosters and grass herbicides are two helpful options when it comes to restoring your lawn. The difference between the two depends on what your lawn needs to be restored.
If your lawn is just tired and needs a little pick me up, applying a lawn booster can help it come back to life. Lawn boosters are usually a combination of grass seeds, soil enhancers, and fertilizers that boost grass growth more quickly, thicker, and healthily.
If your lawn is beyond restoring and is practically dead, starting new is the best thing to do. To do this, you can use non-selective herbicides to remove the remaining grass thoroughly. Once the lawn is cleared, you can till the soil cycle around dead organic material to help the grass absorb more moisture and spread fertilizer to prepare for the grass seeds.
4. Alter Your Lawn's Chemistry
When taking care of grass areas, a little bit of chemistry is involved. Adjusting your lawn's chemistry to help the nutrients absorb better and for the grass to grow healthier involves adding different kinds of soil fillers to reduce or increase the pH balance of the soil. Before adding any fillers, test your lawn's pH balance by digging up a hole in your soil and fill it with distilled water. Once filled, dip the test strip in the water, wait for about a minute or so or until the results show. The pH range you should be looking for is around 6.5 to 14 scale.
Adding limestone to your lawn's soil decreases its acidic level and balances the pH level on your soil. If you're looking for an organic alternative to limestone, ashes from the fireplace will also do well. On the other hand, If your soil is on the alkaline side, adding sulfur to the soil will balance it too. Other alternatives for sulfur can be compost or grass clippings when mowing, as the decomposition adds acidity to the soil. Just don't overdo the organic matter as too much of it causes thatch buildup.
5. Don’t Forget to Feed and Water Your Lawn
Once your lawn is restored and the grass healthy and lush, don’t forget to maintain it by feeding it with grass seeds and watering it occasionally. Feed your grass periodically (or depending on your lawn needs seasonally) and add fertilizer to protect it in the winter months. Preferably feed it during spring and fall to strengthen the grass in harsh weather.
Other than feeding the grass with fertilizer and seeds, water your grass consistently. Your lawn must be kept hydrated for it to be healthy and have consistent growth. Sustaining its moisture will help grass seeds to manifest their roots. Watering twice a day would | [

2011 Geminids showed the highest activity in recent years. The estimated ZHR using Activity Level was about 150. The peak time was around 261°.5 - 261°.6. This was earlier than annual visuak observed peak time.
As radio meteor obserevers know, the peak time using radio meteor observation is earlier than visual observation. There are some reasons. One of them, it is different of observed meteors between radio and visual. This is because that radio meteor observation has a ceiling height effect. I do not have a clear answer (I'm sorry...).

Back in December 2010, I first blogged about knitting a lace weight sweater. The pattern is called “Hulda”, and it’s from a book called Northern Knits. I am making it for my sister-in-law Holly so that’s the why of Hulda Holly. I thought about it for awhile because I knew I was going to have to knit it with size 2 needles. I couldn’t resist trying it though because I was fascinated by the stripes and how the colors were going to be blended.
The stripes are a blend of 3 shades of red, 5 shades of gray, and black.
I started knitting it in 2011. I know this because I checked ravelry this morning to see if I’d put the details of the project up there. Sure enough I had – back in October 2011.
I have decided to buckle down and get this thing done. I am hopeful that it will be “wearable” when I am finished. I have a few worries. First, I am hoping I have the gauge right so that it will fit my sister-in-law. Second, I am hoping she will not want to run when she sees it. Third, the yarn is not soft. It’s the opposite of soft, but it’s supposed to soften up when I wash it. We shall see.
My assistant helped me try to take a couple of pictures of my progress.
Another concern I have about this sweater is the reason I needed Davey to help me take the pictures. He had to hold down the bottom of the sweater which is really wanting to roll up. I am hopeful that when I block this I will be able to get the bottom to lie flat. I will figure out something one way or the other. Maybe some small fishing weights if necessary – that’d be comfortable.
One final thing – I didn’t have the sense to weave in ends as I was going.
This yarn should weave in nicely though. It’s almost sticky, and I’d hate to have to try to frog it. I need to get started on those ends. I will do better on the sleeves and weave in as I go.
This is a fun project. The lace weight yarn makes me feel like I am really creating “fabric”. I love how the colors blend. It’s all stockinette, but the stripes involve using two different colors on every other row. I knit one strand with my right hand, and I hold the other strand continental style with my left hand.
I am knitting the first sleeve now and am able to use my favorite Signature dpns which is another plus.
We shall see how it goes. | [

Over the past few years, Hollywood has given us a handful of opportunities to see women on the big screen undergo an abortion procedure. These depictions of abortion have been roundly celebrated by abortion supporters for the way they injected the abortion discussion into the everyday life of the average viewer. Persons who support allowing women to choose abortion are thrilled to have abortion portrayed in such a positive light and in front of such a large number of people. The chance for everyone to see that abortion is both innocent and harmless is a clear reason for advocates to cheer. But were these scenes as honest as abortion supporters want us to believe? Were they an authentic depiction of abortion and what happens during the procedure?
These scenes are noteworthy because they all have one thing in common: none actually shows an abortion. I wrote a post for The Federalist explaining why these portrayals of abortion are not “honest” and what it might look like if Hollywood did actually decide to show abortion honestly. | [

Bringing the latest in satellite technology across the globe.
For the third time around, Space Exploration Technologies Corporation has been chosen by NASA to launch the next commercial cargo resupply mission which will take place on the 1st of March. SpaceX will be using its Dragon capsule to carry out the mission.
The spacecraft is expected to arrive at the Space Station on March 2, where it will proceed on providing 1,200 pounds of payload, including supplies for astronauts, equipment and scientific experiments. Among the experiments in the mission are numerous payloads from commercial space company Nanorack. This includes various payloads from high schools and self-funded projects.
On March 25, the Dragon spacecraft will return to Earth, carrying with it a payload of 2,300 pounds worth of equipment and experiment samples from the Space Station.
SpaceX has additionally signed contracts with the U.S. Air Force for two launch missions in 2014 and 2015, and a contract with Spacecom to launch their AMOS-6 satellite in 2015.
Recommended additional reading:
Intelsat Global Holdings S.A. will buy a ride for a future communications satellite on Space Exploration Technologies’ planned heavy-lift rocket, the companies said on Tuesday.
The contract is the first for a Falcon Heavy rocket, which is being designed to carry more than twice as much as the Boeing-built Delta 4 Heavy launcher, which is currently the biggest rocket in the U.S. fleet.
Terms of the contract were not disclosed, but Space Exploration Technologies, or SpaceX, has said it expects to sell Falcon Heavy flights to commercial customers for about $100 million. | [

LAGOS—Lagos State chapter of All Progressives Congress, APC, has called on the Senate to reject Senator Musiliu Obanikoro’s consideration for a ministerial position due to his deep involvement in the alleged Ekitigate election scandal.
APC in statement signed by State Publicity Secretary, Mr. Joe Igbokwe, yesterday, cautioned that Nigeria should not continue to reward persons with questionable and dubious characters.
The party stated: “Ekitigate scandal is such a weighty and monumental fraud that cannot be swept under carpet as it rocks and undermines the very foundation of our democratic journey.
“Senator Obanikoro and his 40 thieves in Ekitigate scandal must be brought to book to serve as a deterrent to others. When offenders are not punished the hearts of the people are schemed to continue to do wrong.
“What is the purpose of reappointing Senator Obanikoro who has just lost an election in Lagos as a Minister if not to continue to use the exalted position to plunder our common patrimony at this critical point in the nation’s history.
“Senator Obanikoro must be kicked in the ass and thrown out of the hallowed chamber of the National Assembly for decimating and desecrating our hard-earned democracy.
“With this singular act of representing this very bad and ugly candidate, the President is sending the wrong signals to the world that Nigeria is a nation of anything goes.
“We in Lagos APC reject Senator Obanikoro, we denounce this reappointment, and we strongly urge the Senate to throw him away in the interest of the country and democracy.” | [

Synchronous Management Principle 9: Utilization of Non-Constraint Resources | Operational Excellence Quick Hits
Quick Hits share weekly tips and techniques on topics related to Operational Excellence. This week’s theme relates to non-constraint resources. We hope you enjoy the information presented!
Speaker 1: (00:06)
In today’s session, we’re going to continue on the concept of synchronous management. Today, we’re going to talk about principle number nine, which is understanding the level of utilization of non-bottleneck resources and what’s that relationship to the constraints of the system. If we look at any system, we know that there can only be one constraint. In this case, we have one constraint which is internal constraint at this resource. And if we understand our utilization of that resource, just to say this is at 90%, then what should be the utilization of the other resources be to create balance flow? We have this resource. The throughput of the system is determined by this resource.
Speaker 1: (00:49)
If we release more work into the system to try to keep high utilization on these non-bottleneck resources, what happens is we build excess inventory, which creates over production, which is one of the waste of lean. We don’t want to create waste of the system by trying to keep high utilization everywhere. If we look at the reliable production lead time, we only want to release enough work into the system within the reliable production lead time to keep the utilization of our capacity constraint resource extremely high. And if we have the internal constraint, that means we have more market demand than we have capacity. The utilization of this resource is extremely important.
Speaker 1: (01:33)
Now let’s understand the effect on the rest of the system based on this resources utilization. First, let’s understand what are the measurements that most companies use. The first measurement we see is utilization. What is utilization? Utilization is the actual time the process is operating, producing value added work relative to its available time. If we have 10 hours of shift time available, how many hours is it actually producing over that 10 hours or actually cycling or producing value added work? If we’re working eight of those 10 hours, then our utilization is 80%. Of course, most organizations want high utilization everywhere, so what they do is they increase the batch size or the order size to allow for larger production runs.
Speaker 1: (02:26)
Next is efficiency. What is the efficiency? Efficiency looks at the actual output against some standard. It’s usually measured in units of time. Of course, if I have a resource that the expected output is a hundred units per hour, and if the first hour I measure their output and they got 90 units in that first hour against the standard of a hundred, my efficiency is 90%. Of course, most people are trying to drive high efficiency everywhere, because we need to generate more standard direct labor hours, inventory credit, earned hours, machine hours, whatever the measurement is we’re trying to maximize.
Speaker 1: (03:06)
If we take the utilization and efficiency, then we can take and determine our overall equipment effectiveness by taking the utilization times the efficiency, and then we add in our quality piece of our first pass quality. Our OEE then takes our utilization of how many hours it’s actually producing against its available time, what’s the efficiency of that, how many units that actually produced against the standard, and then how many of those were good first pass quality, and that becomes our overall equipment effectiveness. If we have a system where we have balanced flow, what does that mean? We restrict the release of work into the system based on what the capacity constraint of the system can produce.
Speaker 1: (03:50)
If we look at the capacity constraints utilization, in this case, we have 90% utilization on our constraint, what is the utilization of the non-bottleneck resources? Of course, we don’t want 90% because we’re unbalanced to create that balanced flow. Let’s look at our protective capacity. We have 25% protective capacity. That means we got 25% more capacity on operation one than we do operation four. Operator two has 20%, operator three 40%, operator five 10%, operator six 50%, operator seven 30%. How do we determine what the utilization of those non-bottleneck resources should be? In this case, we take the utilization of our capacity constraint resource divide by the capacity that we have available on our resource number one here, which is 125%.
Speaker 1: (04:42)
The maximum utilization I can expect off of operator one to keep balanced flow is 72%. Also, if we look at this other operator that has 50% extra capacity, so I take the utilization of our capacity constraint resource divided by that 150% capacity, | [

For centuries the Parallel Roads of Glen Roy had baffled both scientists and myth-makers alike; and solving the puzzle would reveal an amazing picture of our geological past. Glen Roy, in Lochaber has three distinct, parallel terraces running the length of both sides of the valley; and it wasn’t until the mid 19th century did geologists realise that they were looking at ancients shorelines from a lake dammed back by huge glaciers. The understanding that Scotland was once glaciated opened up the study across the world; but it was here that scientists had their ah-ha moment.
This year is the bicentennial of Charles Darwin’s birth and 150 years since the publication of his masterpiece, The Origin of Species. The inspiration he found in visiting the Galapagos Islands is very well known, but in the Editorial, ‘Darwin in Scotland’ by Dominic J. McCafferty (The Glasgow Naturalist-2009), we find that the time Darwin […] | [

Ductility Improvement of an AZ61 Magnesium Alloy through Two-Pass Submerged Friction Stir Processing
AbstractFriction stir processing (FSP) has been considered as a novel technique to refine the grain size and homogenize the microstructure of metallic materials. In this study, two-pass FSP was conducted under water to enhance the cooling rate during processing, and an AZ61 magnesium alloy with fine-grained and homogeneous microstructure was prepared through this method. Compared to the as-cast material, one-pass FSP resulted in grain refinement and the β-Mg17Al12 phase was broken into small particles. Using a smaller stirring tool and an overlapping ratio of 100%, a finer and more uniform microstructure with an average grain size of 4.6 μm was obtained through two-pass FSP. The two-pass FSP resulted in a significant improvement in elongation of 37.2% ± 4.3%, but a slight decrease in strength compared with one-pass FSP alloy. Besides the microstructure refinement, the texture evolution in the stir zone is also considered responsible for the ductility improvement. View Full-Text

Shubman Gill continued his dominance in the IPL, as the 23-year-old, touted as the prince of cricket, struck his season’s 3rd century.
In the ongoing second qualifier between Mumbai Indians and Gujarat Titans at the Narendra Modi Stadium, GT, batting first, put 233/3 on the board. Gill starred again with the bat as the right-hand opener struck 129(60), which included ten sixes and seven fours.
With the feat, Gill smashed the highest individual score in the playoffs, and surpassed Virender Sehwag’s feat. Notably, Sehwag scored 122 against CSK. Here is the list of the highest score in IPL playoffs.
- 129 – Shubman Gill v Mumbai Indians*
- 122 – Virender Sehwag v CSK
- 117* – Shane Watson v SRH
- 115* – Wriddhiman Saha v KKR
Further, besides scoring the highest individual score for Gujarat, Gill also scored the second-highest score by an Indian in IPL, only three runs behind KL Rahul. Here is the complete list.
- 132* – KL Rahul
- 129* – Shubman Gill
- 128* – Rishabh Pant
- 127 – Murali Vijay
With the knock, Gill took his runs tally to 851 runs, the third most in an IPL season behind Jos Buttler and Virat Kohli. Also, Gill is the second Indian after Virat to have more than 800 runs in a season.

Insite Software Appoints Two New Board Members to Support Company's Leadership and Growth in Rapidly Expanding B2B eCommerce Market
MINNEAPOLIS, MN, Feb 27, 2013 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
Insite Software, a leading provider of B2B eCommerce platforms and
shipping solutions with more than 950 customers worldwide, today
announced the addition of two new board members to support the
company's continued leadership and growth.
The company has added more than 170 customers in the last 24 months,
and is poised to be a dominant player in the rapidly expanding B2B
eCommerce market, which is expected to quickly dwarf that of the B2C
market. According to industry analyst firm Forrester, the current B2C
eCommerce market size is estimated at $250 billion, while the market
potential for B2B eCommerce is valued at $559 billion.
Insite Software's powerful eCommerce platform enables organizations
to achieve competitive advantage through improved sales volumes and
operational efficiencies. Designed specifically to accommodate the
unique requirements of manufacturers and distributors surrounding
products, processes and customers, Insite Software provides a
powerful online sales solution that integrates with enterprise
resource planning (ERP), customer relationship management (CRM), and
back-end business systems.
Appointed to the board as chairman, Ken Holec has more than 30 years'
experience establishing strategy, leadership and execution for both
private and public technology companies. He will help guide Insite's
growth with a focus on strategy, organization and financial guidance.
Holec formerly held the position of chief executive officer at Lawson
Software, ShowCase, Peopleclick Inc., and most recently at Jobs2Web,
where he helped build the leading Software as a Service recruiting
marketing platform, recently purchased for $110 million by
SuccessFactors/SAP. Holec currently serves as director at Virteva, an
independent IT consulting and managed services firm serving
enterprise clients and medium-sized businesses.
Joining Holec on the board is Steve Shaffer who will also serve as
chief revenue officer for Insite Software. In this role, Shaffer will
develop and execute Insite's go-to-market strategy and enhance the
company's market leadership position in B2B eCommerce solutions.
Shaffer has 20 years' experience in sales/marketing and finance
leadership, most recently serving as the senior director for Cloud
Financials with SAP, leading their go-to-market strategy. Prior to
this, Shaffer served as general manager for Jobs2Web.
"These new appointments to our Board will ensure Insite Software can
fully leverage the exploding B2B eCommerce market opportunity and
help guide our operations during this multi-year period of sustained
growth. We conducted an extensive search and Ken and Steve stood out
as exceptional candidates given their strong operational and
financial experience," said Insite Software CEO Brian Strojny.
"Insite Software is entering a critical stage of growth and execution
as the B2B eCommerce market is rapidly maturing," said Holec. "All
indications are that they will continue on their current growth
trajectory, and I look forward to adding my operational and fiscal
perspective at the board-level to help manage and leverage the
company's significant market opportunity."
"B2B eCommerce is rapidly gaining adoption, especially with
manufacturers and distributors as they look to increase sales and
improve their competitive position," said Shaffer. "Insite Software
meets a strategic market need for a comprehensive and easy-to-deploy
B2B eCommerce platform, and I look forward to helping the company
accelerate its revenue goals and expand its reach."
Holec and Shaffer join current board members and Insite Software
co-founders Brian Strojny, CEO; Tom Frishberg, CIO; and Linda

We just discussed your game on our podcast! Come check us out!
Episode 32: 3D Platformers
You are Pyme, a space adventurer looking for new adventures, but due to some problems in your trip the spaceship was damaged and crashed into an undiscovered planet full of misterious creatures. You will find that you can use your special hoover, Baku, to absorb and throw those creatures and even use them as fuel! They will still love you because they are cute AF, even when they are sacrificed. They don't event mind, they are always happy!!!
You will have to find the four pieces in order to repair your spaceship and leave the planet, or you can always stay with all the lovely monsters that inhabit that world.
This game was developed in 72h during the Ludum Dare 43, "Sacrifices must be made".
Download & play! If you have any issues let me know in the comments.
Log in with itch.io to leave a comment.
could you make it an option to be a boy or girl?
Can you add a way to fully enjoy the game using a trackpad? Thank you.
is the source code available
very relax me
Thanks for playing and making the video! Unfortunately the jam build was very broken as you can see :(
I understood there were bugs but I enjoyed playing the same: D
I liked the game.
Cutesy game that I thought would be much worse but it was very tame. The game has a few glitches, if you die a few times the little guys stop spawning, this was the second game I played.
Hey there! Thanks for playing :) Apparently there's a bug in the last build were the monsters stops spawning but I couldn't track it, so your video helps for sure. I'll look into it later
Pyme's Genocyde is a fun little game. The visuals are bright and cheery and the models are well designed, especially for just 72 hours. The audio is pretty nice as well. It's really challenging at times, but this is a fine piece of work overall.Good job, devs.
Looks beautiful! Can you make a build for Linux (Universal 32bit+64bit) too? :)
Sure! I just uploaded builds for linux, but i couldn't test them. Please let me know if the work correctly. Hope you enjoy the game :)
Thank you, works like a charm! Such a happy, cute game :)
A little bug I found: after some time no more monsters spawned at the start. I guess there is maybe a limit of how many can be created or something?
When they are far from the player they are moved closer to him, so that shouldn't happen. Did you play the jam version or the updated one? Thanks for playing! I'm glad you liked it :)
It was hard but I managed to repair the ship. Lovely work, moar Pyme adventures please. :)
Thanks for the video! I agree with you, that last part was very badly designed and we will fix that in the post-jam build, as well as the physics bug you had with the little guys and the 100% anticlimatic end... sorry about that, time constraints.
And again, thanks! It's really satisfying to see someone play a game that you've put so much work into :) | [

The British Land Speed Record is one of the nation’s most coveted titles in the world of motorsports and racing.
It happens on the Pendine Sandes of Wales, on the eastern portion of the main island and it’s also colloquially known as the “Flying Mile.” The idea is that the fastest land speed achieved by a land vehicle in the United Kingdom is reached over a fixed length course, averaged over two runs in opposite directions.
The first record occurred in 1924, where a gentleman by the name of Malcolm Campbell, drove a 350hp Sunbeam Blue Bird to set the first land speed “Flying Mile” record and “Flying Kilometre” at 146.16 mph.
The last record happened in 1927 when Mr. Campbell once again set the record at the Pendine Sands at 174.883 mph.
Now, British actor Idris Elba broke that record recently at the Pendine Sands, using a Bentley Continental GT, averaging just a shade over 186 mph.
ACTOR IDRIS ELBA BREAKS HISTORIC ‘FLYING MILE’ RECORD IN BENTLEY
May 7, 2015
- Bentley helps Elba follow in famous footsteps of Sir Malcolm Campbell
- Continental GT Speed and Hollywood star break 88-year-old record
- Award-winning actor achieves180.361 mph on Pendine Sands, Wales
(Crewe, 7 May, 2015) Idris Elba, star of Luther and The Wire, piloted a Bentley to break the historic ‘Flying Mile’ UK land speed record set by Sir Malcolm Campbell in 1927.
The award-winning actor hit a top speed of 180.361 mph at the wheel of a new Continental GT Speed on Pendine Sands, Wales. This broke the existing record of 174.8 mph set by Sir Malcolm nearly 90 years ago in his legendary Napier-Campbell Blue Bird. The record was independently verified by the UK Timing Association.
Elba, who famously played Nelson Mandela in the multi-award winning Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom, said: “I’m absolutely elated to have broken the ‘Flying Mile’ at Pendine Sands. It’s an honour to have taken on the challenge, and to successfully follow in the footsteps of the illustrious Sir Malcolm Campbell.”
Despite some challenging tidal conditions on the beach in south Wales, the record was broken in the Crewe-built Continental during filming for an upcoming four-part Discovery Channel series, Idris Elba: No Limits, which will air in July.
Bentley Continental GT Speed
Powered by Bentley’s iconic 6-litre twin-turbo W12 engine, the GT Speed develops 635 PS and 820 Nm for instantly accessible high performance. Coupled with a new ZF eight-speed close-ratio automatic transmission and state-of-the-art engine management software, the GT Speed despatches the zero-to-sixty sprint in 4.0 seconds (0-100 km/h in 4.2s), on its way to a top speed of 331 km/h (206 mph).
In the Bentley Speed tradition, outstanding performance is matched by an enhanced chassis with up-rated springs, anti-roll bars and bushes, a lowered ride height (by 10mm front and rear) together with re-tuning of the electronically controlled damping and steering systems.

Satcoms in rural primary schools in the Mpumalanga province of South Africa looks set to expand following the success of a pilot project.
This imagery of the sun captured by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory from May 17-19, 2016, shows a giant dark area on the star's upper half, known as a coronal hole.
Astronauts know their bodies will be tested during time spent on the International Space Station, from the 15 daily sunrises and sunsets wreaking havoc on their circadian rhythms to the lack of gravity that weakens bone density and muscle.
Scientists using radar data from NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) have found a record of the most recent Martian ice age recorded in the planet's north polar ice cap.
NASA is working closely with Bigelow Aerospace to understand why its module did not fully expand today as planned.

The stress distribution on the plate is altered by the existence of the stress concentration factor due to the existence of the discontinuity — circular hole. It provides the space for power plant, cargo, controls, accessories, passengers and other requirements depending on the purpose i.
The discovered flaws or cracks are then analyzed for their criticality. The long and short length approximations are matching with the experimental results on their respective domains.
Radial stresses at the root of the notch Figure 1.
The symmetry boundary condition is applied on the lines on left of the plate and the line on the Finite element analysis of a fuselage of the plate and ahead of the crack tip.
Firstly, we develop a finite element model with detailed material property, ply design, fixture structure, and actuators installation considered. This is essential to accurately capture the high gradients of stress variations near the crack tip. The direction of the crack is defined by selecting the three adjacent left nodes from the crack tip.
Fracture mechanics, combined with the conventional fatigue design modals now became an integral part of mechanical engineering design. In order to improve the dimensional quality and increase the productivity, a new shape control system has been proposed to conduct dimensional shape adjustment before the assembly process.
For the initial analysis in the section 1. Thus, plane stress assumption is valid in this case. Substituting these values at the above equation we get,?? Suppose a given plate with a crack, is loaded in tension. There are many commercial tools available for solving the real life problems using FE methods.
By using finite element analysis, we conduct the feasibility analysis of this new shape control system. But, the long length approximated equation fail to achieve satisfactory results in this case. The state of stress existing in the portion of the fuselage between the rivet holes is considered to be similar to that of a wide thin plate subjected to uniform stress containing a circular hole in the middle Figure 1.
The finite element model is then validated and calibrated by physical experimental data. A new composite fuselage shape control system is proposed. For the verification of its results, the analysis is repeated by varying the length of singular elements.
Thus, it is dangerous to use this equation for design purposes. The condition prevailing in this case is known as plane strain case. Airbus Corporation Due to their criticality, the aircraft fuselages are periodically inspected using NonDestructive Testing NDT methods for any potential flaws.
Simplified Model of Crack prevalent in relatively thin plates in which there is no considerable variation in displacements along the direction of thickness. The second set is calculated using the approximated equation for a short length crack from section 1.
From the theoretical calculations in section 1. Thus, it can be said that the FE solution is valid. However for a thick plate, material away from the free surfaces is not free to deform laterally as it is constrained by the surrounding material.
The tangential stress at any point on the plate is given by,?? The FE analysis can be repeated for different lengths of cracks in order to find out the relationship between the stress intensity factor and the crack length.
The condition is mainly Figure 1. From the figure, it is clear that the FEA results are most closely matching the empirical relation based on experimental results. But, the short length equation fails in this case.Finite Element Analysis of a Fuselage Crack.

With the continuous changing demanding of the market, the laser cutting technology finds wide applications in industries. This technology is capable of highly precise and versatile. Plus, the laser cutting technology is continuously developing into being higher precision and better flexibility.
To give the fullest benefits of the laser cutting technology, the laser cutting machine is indispensable. Such a machine mainly comes into two types, namely the fiber laser vs co2 laser. Yet, there are many differences and similarities between fiber laser vs co2 laser. Hence, if you are gonna purchase the suitable type of laser cutting machine for your current project or long-term vision, it is wise to have knowledge of these two machines.
Today, this article just exactly serves as your requirements. It gives a detailed introduction on difference between fiber and CO2 laser cutting machine at the following aspects: definition, pros and cons, four performance comparison, working way, application, and future trends.
Ⅰ: Definition of Fiber Laser vs CO2 Laser
What is Fiber Laser Cutting Machine?
The uniqueness of a fiber laser cutting machine design rests on its low cost of maintenance, and even maintenance-free. This all owes to its superior quality. Plus, its exclusive fiber system boasts a very long service lifespan at least up to 25,000 laser hours. The fiber laser cutting design is ideally great for handling laser marking and metal marking ( such as engraving, annealing, and high-contrast plastic markings ). Besides, it is very suitable to process such materials as coated metals, plastics.
What is CO2 Laser Cutter?
The CO2 laser cutter is the most common cutting machine at the market. This laser cutting design features the unique laser beam. The laser beam consists of a gas mixture with the CO2 being major. From the perspective of the macroscope, CO2 is best great for handling non-metallic materials and the majority of plastics. Detailly speaking, the COS laser cutting design machine is apt to tackle such materials as wood, glass, textiles, plastics, foils & films, leather, stone.
Ⅱ: Four Performance Comparision: Fiber Laser vs CO2 Laser
Different between fiber and CO2 laser cutting machine manifested from this aspect, is when comparing with the CO2 laser cutting machine, the fiber laser cutter needs much less electricity supports. For example, running at maximum power at the 4kW, fiber laser cutter, and its chiller will consume about 18 kW of electricity. In contrast, the CO2 laser cutter and its chiller will run at the expense of 70 kW power consumption.
If we want to know the difference between fiber and CO2 laser cutting mahcine, we should know that the fiber laser cutter is half than that of a CO2 laser cutter in terms of the operating cost. The reason is that the former features lower power consumption and higher electrical efficiency.
As the thickness of processed material enhances, the cutting results will vary along with. There is a concerned difference between fiber and CO2 laser cutting machine. The CO2 lasers can show better edge cutting effects on the thick stainless steel and aluminum workpieces. Yet, the fiber lasers can’t attain the same effects. One of the influencing factors is the consumption of the higher auxiliary gas. The fiber lasers will use over 30 percent to assist gas. wondering the reason for such a situation, the smaller spot size might be the best answer.
To begin with, both the fiber laser cutter and CO2 laser cutter can process many same materials. However, the difference between fiber and CO2 laser cutting machine is that the former can produce better cutting results when handling some metals, i.e. copper, brass, and aluminum. Secondly, both two laser cutters can mark on the aluminum. But, the CO2 laser cutter will take more time to pierce a hole than the fiber laser cutter. Finally, when processing the stainless steel with nitrogen, the fiber laser cutter is much evidently faster.
Ⅲ: Pros and Cons: Fiber Laser vs CO2 Laser
Fiber Laser Cutting Machine
Cheaper Buying Costs: After the spreading of solid-state laser technology, the system costs have also seen a continuous decrease. Let us take the domestic fiber laser cutting system as an example. Such a multiple functional fiber laser cutting system can be available at a relatively reasonable price of less than 300K.
Time-Saving: The fiber laser machine can be equipped with two interchangeable tables. In such platforms, all materials are conveyed automatically without labor efforts. In this way, there will be a great decline in the tedious and mechanical work and save a lot of time.
Speed: When processing the thin materials, the fiber laser cutter machine is much faster than the CO2 laser cutter. The high-speed attributes to the easy absorption performance of the laser when cutting with Nitrogen (fusion cutting).
Thick Material Finish: The fiber laser cutter is relatively less effective than the CO2 laser cutter in handling the thicker materials. CO2 laser cutter is more penetrating | [

Thomas didn't touch the ball in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Chargers. Thomas has done the majority of his damage on special teams this season, but even that role has been scaled back from previous seasons. The specialist may be a candidate to miss the 53-man roster next year with Tyreek Hill around. Should he earn a spot, 2017 would be his last under before his rookie deal with the Chiefs expires.
Thomas rushed once for four yards and caught one pass for four yards in Sunday's loss to the Titans. Thomas sees most of his action on special teams, but has lost his punt return duties to rookie wideout Tyreek Hill. The two are very similar, except Hill has proven a much better offensive weapon. It wouldn't be surprising if Thomas' run with the Chiefs ends after his contract expires in 2017, if not earlier.
Thomas hauled in his first two passes of the season in Sunday's game against the Raiders. Due to his similarities to rookie wideout Tyreek Hill, Thomas hasn't made an impact with the Chiefs this season. He finally entered the scorebook Sunday, but he almost certainly won't see enough snaps to become fantasy-relevant.
Thomas was inactive Sunday due to his similarities with rookie Tyreek Hill, Blair Kerkhoff of KansasCity.com reports. The Chiefs made the surprising move to keep both Thomas and rookie Tyreek Hill on the team's 53-man roster following final cuts prior to the regular season opener. However, Thomas was made inactive Sunday, while Hill was on field. Coach Andy Reid clarified the matter and said that both players provide similar qualities both offensively and in the return game, so they only needed one to be active. Hill made most of his limited opportunities, with a nine-yard touchdown on his only catch of the game. He also had three punt returns with an average of 11 yards per return. If Hill continues to impress and remains active, it appears Thomas could be a mainstay on the team's inactive list.
Thomas (coach's decision) is out for Sunday's game against the Chargers. Thomas will be inactive alongside fellow Chief Jamaal Charles (knee), with his next opportunity to return coming Week 2 against the Texans. The 23-year-old impressed throughout the preseason, but likely won't have a significant role in the offense moving forward.

Youth Development Association, in the Lower River region, has recently elected
a new executive to steer the affairs of the association for the next two years.
The newly-elected executives are Landing B. Sanneh, Chairman, Simbong Camara, vice-Chairman, Lamin K. Darboe, Secretary, Abdoulie Sanneh Asst. Secretary, Bambo Darboe, Asst. Secretary, Sulayman Darboe, Treasurer, Fatou Drammeh, Asst. Treasurer, Molipha Darboe, Auditor, Lamin Sonko, Asst. Auditor, Omar Jarra, PRO, Lamin Marong, Asst. PRO, Sarjo Sanneh, Social Secretary, Abdoulie Darboe, Asst. Social Secretary.
Lang Sanneh, Lamin Wonto Darboe, Jalamangding Jarju, and Langba Marong are the council of elders.
The association was established to contribute to the development of the village and its people and the country as a whole.
Since its establishment, the association has come up with many development projects for the village and prominent among them are: mini-health post, support to the Arabic school, tree planting among others.
According to the association officials, youth of the village are very much committed to the development of the village and are working on other new projects for the development of the village.
Lamin K Darboe, vice chairman, JYDA, said their main interest as the youth of the village was to work together for the development of the village and the country as a whole.
He noted that the Jataba village could not develop without the full participation of its youthful population.
He said: “We have a big role to play in the development of this village, and unless we work together as youth and elders to develop this village for our people, nobody will come from outside to come and develop Jataba for us, it is us who should work together and develop it.”
Sulayman Darboe, treasurer, JYDA, said the association since inception has initiated many projects all geared towards the development of the village and its people.
He said the village is facing so many development challenges, from limited access to better health services, better market, enough water supply to the women village garden and others.
He said: “We have some serious development challenges, we have very limited access to better healthcare services, it was from the effort of the association that we built a health post, provided medicines and other needs by ourselves. The only thing that government did was to provide us a travelling nurse.”
“We want to call on government to extend their support to us and build us a health center and reduce the sufferings that our people are going through. In the entire area there is no hospital, anytime we want to have access to a hospital, we have to travel either to Soma, or Bwiam, which is far,” he lamented. | [

*Laws are rules that we must follow to achieve results.
*A life without rules is total confusion or chaos.
*For one to see results one must apply the laws consistently, passionately and positively aggressive in your own life.
-We must note that in life if you know the way that took someone up, follow it, it will take you to the same destination
*These laws when fully applied will produce mega results and benefits in life.
The following are the nine laws;
- Law of multiplication.
Gen 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth
*God commanded human kind to multiply
-We must know that Multiplication demand efforts,You can’t multiply by doing nothing or from nothing
-Everyone is born with something and that is potential. You must determine not to live this world, your family the way you found it.
- Law of time.
Gen 8:22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease
Ecc 3:1 To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
We must understand that no one has more time than the other. The outcome of life is determined by how we use the time we have. Apostle Paul encouraged the Ephesians to redeem or maximize, take advantage of the time (Ephesians 5:16). You must never say or think you have all the time.
-What you do with the time determines whether your end, poor or rich, a success or failure, winner or loser. To overcome wastage of time rejects procrastination, pushing this forward.
- Law of giving and receiving
Luke 6:38 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.
-Giving is living, life is anchored on giving and receiving. Everyone is a product of giving
4. Law of sowing and reaping.
Gal 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap
-whatever you sow in life you reap in life
5. Law of association.
Prov 13:20 He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed
*Bad association leads to bad influence
1Cor 15:33 Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.
6. Law of diligence (hard work) and focus
Prov 10:4 He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich.
7. Law of planning
*If you don’t plan your life you’re planning to fail. Planning gives one direction
Prov 16:3 Entrust your work to the LORD, and your planning will succeed
8. Law of sacrifice
*sacrifice sets the stage for success. Sacrifice is giving temporally pleasure for tomorrow’s greater good. Subjecting yourself to pain or denying yourself of something for the sake of what lies ahead. It is said of Moses in Hebrews 11:23-27
9. Law of excellence
-The passion to excel will result into excellence; Excellence is doing something exceptionally well, refusal to compromise quality
*whatever you do under the influence of excellence stands out. Excellence positions your Pursuit to become a preferred choice
Note; Excellence is a mind set
*Dan 5:12 Forasmuch as an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and shewing of hard sentences, and dissolving of doubts, were found in the same Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar: now let Daniel be called, and he will shew the interpretation.
Dan 6:3 Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.

Accurate satellite drag coefficients are important for reducing orbit prediction errors and for inferring unbiased atmospheric mass density from measurements of satellite decay. Past use of fixed satellite drag coefficients when inferring atmospheric mass density from orbital decay has resulted in large biases in empirical atmospheric models. These biases can be reduced by using physical drag coefficients which model the interaction between the atmospheric gas particles and the satellite surface; however, physical drag coefficients require detailed knowledge of the gas-surface interaction which is most sensitive to the energy and momentum accommodation coefficients. State-of-the-art models reveal that the effective energy accommodation coefficient for satellites in low Earth orbit is strongly correlated with the adsorption of atomic oxygen. Previous work has modeled this dependence using a Langmuir isotherm which works well at altitudes below ∼500 km but fails to match data at higher altitudes. Therefore, Freundlich and Temkin isotherms are used here to test whether data at higher altitudes might be better fit with a different adsorption model. Mathematically, both the Freundlich and Temkin isotherms should (and do) better fit the data because they have two free parameters compared to only one for the Langmuir isotherm. Physically, the Freundlich isotherm allows for multi-layer adsorption and an exponential range of adsorption energies corresponding to a non-uniform sur-face. The Temkin isotherm also allows for multi-layer adsorption and accounts for the interaction between the adsorbing gas and the adsorbate whereas the Langmuir isotherm is limited to monolayer adsorption and constant adsorption energy corresponding to a uniform surface. | [

RIYAD – Airports Council International (ACI) Managing Director for Asia-Pacific Stefano Baronci said in a press release that the ambitious civil aviation sector strategy in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is an important tool to promote the economic and social development at the local level, as well as at the regional and international levels.
The air transport market is a major engine of the economy and a catalyst for economic and social development. This strategy aims to promote the development of commercial air transport by increasing connectivity and competition, developing appropriate infrastructure and increasing traffic in terms of passenger and freight volume.
Baronci praised the airline industry in Saudi Arabia, stressing that it will have an indirect positive impact on the entire region as well as the world.
He added that the thriving air transport market in the Kingdom will open the country to tourism, cultural exchanges, education and professional development opportunities. This is in addition to an increase in trade in goods and services.
Asia Pacific Region Managing Director ACI revealed that according to the latest data from the Official Airlines Guide (OAG), (Riyadh-Jeddah) is among the top 5 busiest routes in the world in 2021. In addition, Baronci Saudi airports reportedly made a faster recovery process than many other countries in the region.
He went on to say: âBased on the latest passenger traffic data (ACI Flash Reports – September), total passenger traffic at airports such as Riyadh (RUH), Jeddah (JED) and Dammam (DMM) has already reached almost half. the level of the year 2019, passenger side.
This is due to strong health protocols and the introduction of vaccines that help control the spread of COVID-19. “
Baronci stressed that the COVID-19 pandemic has caused a sharp drop in passenger traffic around the world, but that the demand for air travel is expected to increase significantly in the long term.
He noted that the Airports Council International expects global airport traffic in the Middle East for passenger traffic to grow by + 5.2% per year (total annual growth rate) over the next 20 years., higher than the world average of + 3.7%. – SG | [

Genesee County's 8 percent sales tax will remain for at least another two years.
The Legislature Monday night unanimously approved a two-year extension of the added one percent local levy. The home-rule bill had been approved last week by the State Legislature and Gov. Pataki.
The Legislature had faced a Friday deadline to renew the tax, which would have dropped back to 7 percent.
The county's share is being used to fund the new courthouse and other capital projects, and relieve debt service for earlier work. | [

Documentary about Polish fashion designer Barbara Hulanicki who founded iconic clothes store Biba, in London in the 1960s. Born in Warsaw, Hulanicki studied in England at Brighton School of Art and later opened Biba in 1964. The store, known for its plush decor, became a social haunt for film stars and musicians while its affordable fashions appealed to the young public. After Biba closed in '76, Hulanicki continued in the industry and has also moved into interior design.
Beyond Biba provides an invaluable glimpse into Barbara Hulanicki today. A rare insight into the woman herself, her memories of her father's murder, the impossible glamour of Biba, the impact of her husband Fitz on her life, her thoughts on modern America and her refusal to give up and live in the shadow of the past. The film focuses on these elements, and more, to create an all access of an overlooked and elusive artist.

FlipSid3 Tactics is an American eSports organisation that has owned teams across multiple games including Counter Strike Global Offensive, Dota 2, Starcraft 2, Halo and Rocket League.
FlipSid3 Tactics entered the Rocket League scene by acquiring the Teamy Weamy roster in September 2015, consisting of Markydooda, M1k3Rules and Kuxir97. The new FlipSid3 Tactics quickly cemented themselves as the team to beat in the world, going on to win the MLG Pro League by beating Swarm Gaming 4-3.
The team kept up their reputation throughout the remainder of 2015, winning a large number of the Rocket Royale tournaments and came into the RLC Pro League as favourites. Though their start to league play wasn't as dominant as it probably should have been, come the playoffs FlipSid3 Tactics were on very good form and looked sure to win the whole thing. Untethered and Kings of Urban were both taken out, though with closer matches than F3 probably would have liked. Surprisingly, F3 ended up losing the final to Crown and Jewels 4-5, thereby making the RLC Pro League the first big tournament F3 had lost. Rumours emerged just hours after the final of roster changes, yet in the end, the team stayed together.
Coming into RLCS Season 1, FlipSid3 Tactics was no longer the sure favourite. Both We Dem Girlz and Mock-It eSports EU had dominated FlipSid3 Tactics in many of the weekly tournaments. FlipSid3 Tactics quickly went on to silence any doubters by taking RLCS Season 1 Qualifier 1 and thereby practically guaranteeing their LAN spot before Qualifier 2 had even started. At the RLCS Season 1 Live Finals, F3 started off with was seen as an upset by losing to iBUYPOWER in the first round. F3 went on to fight all the way through the losers bracket to the eventual final, where yet again they faced iBP. After 6 games, iBP emerged the victor over F3, with a 4-2 scoreline.
Following the RLCS, M1k3Rules took his break from competitive, as he had announced before RLCS started. In a relatively quick move, F3 managed to sign gReazy, formerly of Northern Gaming, as a replacement for M1k3Rules.

Charles Wilcox, GC
Painter and decorator whose bravery in rescuing a colleague was captured on camera by a resourceful news photographer
AS A painter and decorator working for Birmingham Corporation, Charlie Wilcox appeared an unlikely candidate to win an award for gallantry in circumstances of extreme peril and in the eye of the public. Yet it was in pursuit of his trade that those circumstances came about and he responded with the resource, coolness and personal fortitude of the Chindit special force with which he had served in the jungles of Burma during the Second World War.
On August 23, 1949, then aged 30, Wilcox and other men were engaged in painting the exterior of a Birmingham Corporation building in the city centre. One of the less experienced painters — Leslie Burrows, aged 21 — climbed a ladder to begin work on a third-floor outside window. | [

Jessica: A deadly car crash in Oregon this week left two people dead. And police say the 16-year-old driver of one of the cars had been speeding. That teen is now facing two charges of manslaughter.
Speeding killed more than 10,530 people in 2010. That is a third of all traffic fatalities. And while deaths related to drinking and driving or seat belt use are dropping, deaths related to speeding keep going up.
A report from the Governors Highway Safety Association says not enough states make speeding a priority. Since 2005, two states have upped fines for speeding. But seven states actually increased their speed limits. Only one state passed a law against aggressive driving. So, why aren’t drivers slowing down? The research found that it is simply because people don’t care that much about speeding. In fact, a majority of people surveyed said they believe speed limits are just a way for police to make money. And about 20% of teens said they think speeding is fun.
The study found those most likely to crash are male teens driving in rural areas. Experts say they are not only more likely to take risks, it is difficult to convince them not to. And that has angered a traffic judge in Rhode Island. He has just imposed what he calls the “death penalty” for teen license holders.
After a teen driver crashed this car on the way home from a party last October, the judge ruled that he never be allowed to hold a Rhode Island driver’s license again…ever. The judge says it is the first time the state has ever enacted this law but he says he is tired of young people dying on the road.
The Governor’s Highway Safety Association says there must be more awareness about the dangers of speeding. They say states that have already taken steps to target speeding drivers have cut down on speed related fatalities by 45%.
