RUT955 should definitely be able to reach higher speeds than 20Mbps. I've run a quick speed test on RUT955 with an EC25-EU modem, and with a good signal, I was able to reach a download speed of 55Mbps down and 36Mbps up, with a latency of 25ms (14860403978).
Here are the signal parameters during testing:
Looking at your troubleshoot file, it seems like you are connected to band 8, which operates in the 900MHz frequency range. This band (as well as band 20, and band 28 in the European continent) are designed to cover more area, rather than provide high throughput. Adding to that, the signal values are also quite poor, so you are either in an area with poor coverage, or antennas are not mounted properly.
Since the device is being used in a campervan, I'd recommend upgrading to an external omnidirectional antenna. Poynting is our partner who specializes in antennas and might be able to help you out.
Finally, if you are often in the same are, I'd also recommend exploring other carriers, as the coverage also highly depends on what capabilities the operator can offer. | [

West of Shetland: Whose bright idea was it to drill there?
“Laggan Tormore’s Geology and Total’s Drilling Experience“
Claudia Piemonte – Subsea Operations, Engineering and Performance Manager, Wells Construction and Maintenance Department, TOTAL E&P UK
Ksenia Budkina – West of Shetland Geologist, TOTAL E&P UK
Total E&P UK operate four fields in the West of Shetland area which all belong to the same geological setting: deep-water turbidites of Faeroe-Shetland Basin, yet they exhibit dramatic differences from a reservoir characterization prospective. Geological understanding acquired through the exploration, appraisal and development phases of each field has resulted in valuable learnt lessons, namely:
- Fluid prediction based on seismic response is challenging;
- Dynamic compartmentalization is not always imaged in seismic;
- Dynamic data acquisition at the pre-production phase can significantly reduce appraisal costs.
The presentation will also share all highlights, lowlights and lessons learnt from development drilling operations on Laggan-Tormore. The intention is to share Total’s knowledge and expertise to enhance the industry’s appetite for sanctioning future projects West of Shetland, an area well known for its harsh environment.
Total will explain how they have mitigated risks with appropriate planning, adapting equipment, applying reliable technology and the right expertise and will describe how, with these elements in place, drilling operations can be delivered on time and below budget.
Claudia Piemonte began her career as a junior drilling engineer in Venezuela (SINCOR Orinoco heavy oil). Claudia has worked for Total for over 13 years in a variety of different drilling and wells roles across the world.
Claudia joined Total as Extended Reach Wells and Multilateral Specialist to assist worldwide affiliates in engineering and operations. From Paris Claudia was then transferred to Argentina to work as a senior drilling engineer in horizontal tight gas wells.
Before moving to Aberdeen, Claudia was in charge of the Uganda pre project (industrial drilling development) as a Drilling and Wells Leader until project sanction. In 2016 Claudia transferred to Aberdeen as Total E&P UK’s Subsea Operations, Engineering and Performance Manager within the Drilling and Wells Division.
Claudia graduated from the Simon Bolivar University, Venezuela with a degree in Mechanical Engineering and has an MSc in Petroleum Engineering from the Institut Français du Pétrôle.
Ksenia Budkina joined Total in 2010 as a development geologist in the in Middle East department where she worked on reservoir characterization and geomodelling of carbonate reservoirs. In 2013 she worked as a wellsite geologist on the exploration and Laggan-Tormore development wells. In 2014 Ksenia joined the West of Shetland asset team as an asset geologist where she is involved in Laggan-Tormore development studies.

This statement seems bitter, contradictory, packed with hypocrisy… yet so full of truth.
They spread their cloaks on the road, waved palm branches and shouted “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David!” Mark 11:9-10
Jerusalem was bursting at the seams, in numbers and in excitement. The word of Jesus had spread like wildfire—word of His miracles, His teachings and His recent act of raising Lazarus from the dead. The people of Israel saw Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem as a triumphant entrance into the land He would take under His control. They believed Jesus would come and physically save their day, destroy Roman rule and put Israel back in their rightful place. They expected a victor, a warrior.
Who was this man? Would He meet their expectations?
Jesus turned out to be nothing they expected and yet everything they needed.
He died instead of living, and ascended to heaven instead of staying on earth to be their ruler. Can you imagine the confusion and frustration they felt?
The years of hope and anticipation had mounted up to this very weekend, and instead of their physical lives being instantly and dramatically changed, they were left in disarray. What had just happened? Why were the Romans still in control? Is THIS all we get?
The pastor at the church we attended this past Sunday began to paint this picture for the congregation. It started similar to many Palm Sunday messages I had heard in the past. I agreed, nodded, tried to put myself in the Jews shoes, and then he asked a very bold question:
“Do you ever feel like Jesus has disappointed you?”
It was one of those moments where everyone stops and stares…waiting to see how the pastor will answer his own question.
He went on to tell a very personal story of how he and his wife’s child was born at 8 months, stillborn. He walked us through the depths of those dark moments he felt desperately disappointed by God. If following Christ was supposed to be full of miracles and blessings, how did He let this happen? The pastor believed in miracles and prayed for them over and over again, and yet they still lost the baby. Where was God and why didn’t he pull through?
Doubt creeps into the dark corners of our hearts when tragedy and disappointment take us by surprise.
The pastor’s frank disappointment with God was birthed out of unmet expectations—expectations he didn’t even realize he had until disaster struck. If God was good, then how could something so bad happen?
These are age old, difficult questions—ones I won’t try to answer (Check out this awesome post that goes there http://youcantfail.com/why-bad-things-happen-to-good-people/) —but I will explain the understanding that followed the pastor’s vulnerability.
At times we are disappointed in Christ because we have our own human expectations of Him. We EXPECT Him to fulfill to our earthly desires when there is so much more at stake. Jesus’ death and resurrection accomplished much more than our physical beings can even comprehend. Amidst the exterior chaos, Jesus has overcome.
As hard as it is to believe sometimes, Christ always has our best interest in mind. And even when life hurts and disappoints us, Christ is working all things~together~ for our good.
Trusting Jesus is trusting He has a plan, believing He knows what is best, and that His ways are perfect—even when our earthly circumstances don’t paint that same picture. Our finite minds can’t comprehend what He is always doing, yet we are called to follow. The mystery around Jesus is part of His glory and power.
Has Jesus disappointed you? Have circumstances in your life questioned His goodness and authority?
This Good Friday, be real with those broken places in your heart. Get honest with yourself and open your eyes to the unmet expectations you have with following Jesus. Ask Him to help you trust His ways and see the good things He is doing.
Jesus may not be what we expect, but He is everything we need. | [

Over eight million people have faced or are living with depression around the world. Depression is one of the most common mood disorders alongside anxiety. It is a mental illness, a psychological disorder that should not be neglected. Indeed, depression greatly affects a person’s daily life. It is therefore more than necessary to learn how to get out of it.
How do you recognize depression?
The main sign of depression is sadness. When a person is depressed, they are deeply sad for unknown reasons. For her, it is painful and incomprehensible at the same time. A depressed person can feel hopeless and can cry about anything and everything.
Of course, in life we can sometimes be sad, but it is a fleeting feeling. Life is high and low and we can get over this sadness. In contrast, in a depressed person, sadness is almost permanent. She can’t get away from it and she sees everything in black, no matter the season.
Intense fatigue and a sluggish lifestyle
Another obvious sign of depression is severe fatigue. A depressed person feels tired all day long, even without having made the slightest effort. Neither sleep nor rest can remedy this intense fatigue. The depressed person feels a constant lack of energy.
Insomnia, sluggishness and low libido – these are other signs of depression. A depressed person sees their life slowing down: they have difficulty carrying out daily tasks. She may also face trouble sleeping. In the depressed person, the desire for sex can also decrease or even disappear.
How to get out of depression?
Depression is a disease that should not be treated lightly. There are two areas of treatment for depression: drug treatment and psychological treatment. Of course, treatments will vary depending on the degree of depression. Mild depression will not be treated the same way as severe depression.
However, apart from these two aspects of treatment, the depressed person can also make efforts on his own to get out of it as quickly as possible. So what are the personal steps to take to get out of depression?
Be aware and get out of denial
When we face depression, we have to face the facts and get out of denial. The first step towards healing is recognition. We must, in particular, accept the fact that we are doing badly and that we want to get out of this state. So you have to work on the meaning of your pain: understand your own history and decide to take care of yourself.
Depression is a sign that something is wrong. In this sense, we must know how to let go and let go of certain habits that can be harmful to us. To do this, we come back to the first point: we must understand our own history and see how to remedy these harmful habits.
Usually, this change in behavior comes down to learning to say “no” to others, but also to yourself. This step is essential to make yourself heard, to be loved for who you are and to gain self-confidence. This step is also a way to protect yourself and transform the inner void into something positive.
Bounce back and come out more mature
Once you’ve identified the problem and decided to fix it, you can bounce back. You will be able to find a certain balance in your life, you will gradually come out of this state of depression and why not find happiness again?
You may even find pleasure in resuming habits that you may have overlooked when living with depression. This disease is not to be ashamed of. We can even say that it is a stage that makes the person who suffers from it grow. Once you get out of it, you can enjoy life and make your own existence your own. | [

Translated version of this PSD: Bosnian
The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development is considering a sovereign loan to BiH of up to EUR 156 million for on-lending to the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (“FBH”) and further to the FBH Motorways.
The proceeds of the loan will be used for the construction of four 4-lane motorway sections to international standard as follows:
(i) an approximately 7.2 km motorway section between Buna and Pocitelj, and
(ii) an approximately 3.9 km motorway section between Donja Gracanica and Zenica Tunnel;
(iii) an approximately 5.8 km motorway section between Donja Gracanica and Klopce; and
(iv) an approximately 10.4 km motorway section between Svilaj and Odzak.
The Project is part of Trans-European Corridor Vc which connects Port of Ploce in Croatia with Budapest and is part of Route 2 of the South-East Europe Transport Observatory’s (SEETO) Comprehensive Network.
The Project will include sector reform and institutional strengthening measures in the following areas:
- Road Traffic Safety: as part of the Project, the Bank will support the future Road Safety Unit of FBH.
- Development of road PPPs: the FBH government is currently considering a Public-Private Partnership (‘PPP’) concession for the Karuse-Poprikuse section of Corridor Vc which has been prepared with the assistance of the IFC Advisory. The Bank is interested to consider providing further support for developing this PPP, if required.
- Procurement: FBH Motorways has expressed its willingness to work with the Bank and its consultant to enhance its procurement procedures with a view to achieving certification by internationally recognized institutions such as the Chartered Institute of Procurement and Supply (CIPS).
- Fuel levy increase for motorways which will provide the FBH Motorways with sufficient revenues and enable it to continue servicing its debt obligations going forward.
- Legal support for the implementation of the Law on debt, debt issuance and guarantees in the FBIH – The FBIH Government is planning significant investments in the road infrastructure in the coming years and Corridor Vc. A Technical Cooperation project will provide recommendations for the improvement and development of the procedures and mechanisms for issuing guarantees in line with the best practices in the EU countries.
- The expected transition impact rating is ‘good’.
The State of Bosnia and Herzegovina (the “State”, or “BiH) together with the Government of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (“FBH”), one of the two Entities comprising the State, and the Motorways of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina Public Company (“FBH Motorways” or “JP Autoceste”).
A sovereign loan to BiH of up to EUR 80 million, with on lending to the FBH and further to the FBH Motorways.
The total Project cost is estimated at approximately EUR 118.2 million.
Environmental and social categorisation, impact, and mitigation
Categorised A in accordance with the EBRD’s 2014 Environmental and Social Policy (ESP).
The project involves construction of two new separate 3.9 km and 7.2 km long four-lane road sections of the Corridor Vc has the potential to result in significant adverse environmental and social impacts. Environmental Impact Assessments (“EIAs”) for the entire road Corridor Vc (DTM ID 38716) were subject to the Bank’s Environmental and Social Due Diligence (“ESDD”) prepared and disclosed to public in 2008 to meet national requirements and the Bank’s Environmental Policy 2003. This follow-on project largely utilises the existing EIAs which demonstrated that the project would not have significant environmental and social impacts provided that appropriate mitigation measures are implemented.
Environmental and social due diligence (ESDD) was undertaken by independent consultants for this follow-on project, which included reviews of the revised alignment for potentially significant site-specific impacts and to identify any measures or changes that may be needed to structure the project to meet the 2014 Environmental and Social Policy (ESP 2014). ESDD showed that detailed alignments for both road sections have been developed to avoid densely populated areas, reduce land acquisition impacts and in response to stakeholder requests. The realignment had not resulted in material changes that would require the preparation of new ESIAs. The ESDD concluded that the project preparation to date is overall adequate to meet the Bank’s PRs, EU and national requirements and that the impacts associated with the two road sections under this project were adequately assessed in the 2008 EIAs, with the exception of biodiversity and road safety, for which additional surveys and updated project-specific mitigation and management plans will need to be developed. Some of the existing documents also need to be updated | [

The 42-year-old musician was mentioned several times in Jessica's recently publish memoir 'Open Book' as the pair dated for five years after her divorce from Nick Lachey.
And although the tome talks about their ''complex'' on-off romance, John has insisted he hasn't read the book because he already knows what happened during the course of their relationship.
During a game of 'Never Have I Ever' on 'Watch What Happens Live' on Wednesday (01.04.20), John was asked if he'd read the memoir, to which he said: ''I've heard about it. I've heard some bits. But as Pee Wee Herman says in 'Pee Wee's Big Adventure' before the movie of his life is about to play out at the end, he's not watching the movie, and the reason he's not watching the movie, he says, 'I don't have to watch it, Dottie, I lived it.' And I think that's prescient here.''
In the book, Jessica claims John was ''obsessed'' with her ''sexually and emotionally'', and said that although they had an instant connection, she often felt insecure about whether she was ''smart enough'' for him.
She wrote: ''I constantly worried that I wasn't smart enough for him. He was so clever and treated conversation like a friendly competition that he had to win.
''My anxiety would spike and I would pour another drink. It was the start of me relying on alcohol to mask my nerves.''
The 39-year-old singer-and-actress also spoke about her relationship with the 'Gravity' hitmaker after the release of her book, and said she ''went back'' to him ''close to nine times''.
She said: ''We were great at intimacy. We were great at loving each other.
''That was easy, but the relationship was very complex.
''It was always on again, off again, on again, off again.
''I went back close to nine times.''
The pair's relationship ended when John dubbed her ''sexual napalm'' in a 2010 Playboy interview.

Although DC’s Wonder Woman didn’t screen at SXSW this weekend, WB did apparently have some sort of interactive art exhibit going on today and they also recently debuted a new trailer for the movie during the Kids’ Choice Awards (whatever that is). Dubbed the “Official Origin Trailer,” the new video focuses on Diana’s journey from Themyscira to London, starting with her Amazonian training through to her eventual encounter with Steve Trevor. There is also a fair amount of humour in here and a bit of the same “aw shucks” innocence we saw in Captain America: The First Avenger. Clearly the message here is this may be the first truly family-friendly live-action film in the new DC Universe. Wonder Woman stars Gal Gadot, Chris Pine, Robin Wright, Connie Nielsen and David Thewlis and it hits theatres on June 2, 2017. Check out the new trailer after jump and let us know what you think. | [

'Walk of Shame': Elizabeth Banks Charms Despite Unimaginative, Humorless Plot
Walk of Shame star Elizabeth Banks is as charming as ever in the starring role of Meghan, but even she can’t save the film from being anything other than incredibly depressing.
The R rated comedy follows Meghan’s desperate attempts to make her way across LA to secure the job of her dreams, and is comprised of one comedic moment after another. After being dragged out to a club by her two best friends, Rose (Gillian Jacobs) and Denise (Sarah Wright Olsen), Meghan winds up drunk and in bed with Gordon (James Marsden). After waking up in the middle of the night to a voicemail alerting her that she has the biggest news broadcast of her life coming up, she decides to wobble out into the middle of the night and go home to get a good night’s sleep. Of course, her car has been towed and she is left to fend for herself.
Banks is wonderful as Meghan, eclipsing the fairly predictable writing. Her effortless delivery and constant presence in the film are the only things that make the movie watchable, let alone somewhat interesting. It’s not that the supporting cast is bad, on the contrary, Sarah Wright Olsen is fabulous as Meghan’s dumb friend Denise and James Marsden is charming as ever as Gordon, but the supporting characters are barely in the film.
Despite Banks’ best efforts, the film is a dud, with only a few truly clever and humorous moments peppered in. Walk of Shame kicks off with a promising reel of viral news bloopers recreated for the film –made a bit more R-rated than the originals – and adding in some original news mishaps. The montage is delightful, but the movie never quite lives up to it’s inspired opening, and only comes close during a particularly well executed sequence in which Meghan takes refuge with crack dealers Scrilla (Lawrence Gillard Jr.), Pookie (Alphonso McAuley) and Hulk (Da’Vone McDonald). The dealers, all African American, are the only strangers who believe that Meghan is not a hooker and actually try to give her some help, and are hilarious doing it. This sequence is interesting for two reasons: first because the trio has good chemistry and compliments Banks well, and second because it is the only sequence that comes close to making an observed social commentary. It would make sense, after all, that the only people who don’t insist on judging Meghan based on her appearance would be those who are used to being constantly judged based on skin color. The sequence is too short to really make the point, and it’s clear that writer/director Steven Brill did not intend to explore this idea in the film.
Walk of Shame is little more than the same joke being repeated over and over again. The main joke of the film is that everywhere she goes, Meghan, a straight-laced newscaster, is seen as a hooker because of her appearance and lack of identification. Convinced by her friends to wear a “slutty” dress and go out for a night of fun, an incredibly hungover Meghan is stuck in a tight yellow dress and sky-high heels and no one, not even policemen, will take her pleas for help seriously. This premise is funny once, maybe twice, but the constant assumption that Meghan is a crazy prostitute gets old fast, and instead of being funny it becomes a terrifying portrait of the type of sexism and sexual harassment women must live with every day.
Instead, Brill wraps the moral up in a neat bow at the end of the film, literally instructing viewers with the message they should take away from the film. In the final scene, Meghan delivers an on-air monologue about how wrong it is that everyone assumed she was a hooker simply because of what she was wearing. The speech completely discredits any true meaning behind the movie, as the film was obviously not successful if an actor has to look straight into the audience and tell them what to feel.
The fact that writer/director Brill felt the needs to explain the moral to the audience feels more like an admission of guilt than an intended theme. For 95 minutes, Brill encourages the audience to laugh at the male cops who threaten to arrest Meghan for solicitation or the female bus driver and female passengers who belittle her and throw her off the bus without giving her the benefit of the doubt. If I am to take Meghan’s monologue as the intention behind the film, then Brill has spent those 95 minutes shaking his head at the audience for laughing at a woman being marginalized. This would perhaps create an interesting dilemma for the viewer if it were executed correctly, or if it was, in fact, Brill's | [

User interface issues have led to complaints about the internet voting experiment for this year’s Oscars. The Supreme Court will consider one of the key provisions of the Voting Rights Act early next year. A Senate committee hearing on election reform revealed familiar partisan divisions, while lawmakers in Florida expressed bipartisan support for efforts to reduce long lines at polling places. Iowa Governor Terry Branstad has agreed to streamline for process for the restoration of voting rights for ex-felons. Republican legislatures in both Pennsylvania and Wisconsin are considering proposals to alter the allocation of electoral college votes and protests continued over Eqypt’s constitutional referendum. | [

For the second time in three days, Sangamon County has set record for the number of new COVID-19 cases.
There were 53 new positive cases of the coronavirus reported Friday, including a two-month old infant. The previous record of 51 new daily cases was reported Tuesday.
There were no additional deaths reported Friday, leaving the county total at 36.
Sangamon County now has a total of 1,434 cases of COVID-19. There are eight people hospitalized from the illness, one fewer than on Thursday. The county said 817 people have recovered.
In addition to the infant, a 12-year-old is among the new cases. The new cases include two teens, 14 people in their 20s, nine people in their 30s and 10 people in their 40s.
Despite setting two records for new cases this week, Sangamon County is still only exceeding metrics in one category established by the Illinois Department of Public Health for determining if the virus is being contained in a county. Sangamon has 120 cases per 100,000 people. The target is 50 per 100,000. The county’s positivity rate is 6% which is below the target of 8%.
Logan County reported nine new cases Friday. Six of those cases are in a residential facility and the individuals are being isolated there. The other three cases are isolating at home.
Logan County now has confirmed 189 cases of COVID-19. Of those, 87 have recovered, according to the Logan County Department of Public Health. There has been one fatality.
Morgan County reported 12 new cases of coronavirus Friday. Seven of the new cases are at the Jacksonville Correctional Center. Two of the new cases are at The Pointe at Jacksonville assisted living center.
The Morgan County Health Department said it is trying to secure testing supplies and services for residents at The Pointe at Jacksonville. The total number of cases at the facility is now three, including one staff member and two residents.
There are now 384 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Morgan County. There have been 15 deaths. The cases include 66 among residents and staff in assisted living facilities and 60 among prison inmates.
Cass County reported four new cases Friday. Three of the cases were in people under the age of 40. The county now has 253 confirmed cases of COVID-19 with 11 fatalities.
The county’s positivity rate is 8.2%. It is also reporting 237 cases per 100,000. State goals are to be below an 8% positivity rate and less than 50 cases per 100,000. Because the county exceeds two metrics set by the state, Cass is one of 14 counties put on a warning list by the state.
Menard County reported one new case of COVID-19 bringing its total number of cases to 58. The latest case is a female in her teens.
The county reports that 22 people are in isolation and 36 have recovered from the virus.

I hope everyone enjoyed the long weekend and was able to take some time to pause and reflect. I saw a lot of family, so that was nice. Another plus is that it’s Tuesday, so one day closer to the weekend.
I usually try to have some economic tie-in to that first paragraph, but I’ve got nothing. Let’s just jump into the headlines and get this week started right.
Existing Home Sales
Existing home sales came in down 0.4% on the month of April and have fallen 4.4% on the year after coming in at 5.19 million on a seasonally-adjusted annualized basis. The small piece of good news here is that the sales decline is slower than the 5.4% drop shown in March. Three-month averages also point in a positive direction for this particular measurement.
Single-family home sales were down 1.1% on the month to a rate of 4.620 million, but the three-month average is 4.733 million, which is considerably better. Condo sales were up 5.6% to 570,000.
Supply in the existing home market was up 9.6% in April to 1.83 million as sales season picked up at the start of spring. On the current sales pace, there’s enough supply in the market to feed sales for the next 4.2 months, up from 3.8 months in March. Prices were up 2.9% in April and have now risen 3.6% on the year.
Regionally, sales of existing homes were up 1.8% to a rate of 1.11 million in the West, but they’re still down 5.9% yearly. On a less positive note, sales in the South were down 0.4% to an annual rate of 2.27 million, down 1.7% on the year.
MBA Mortgage Applications
Mortgage applications were up 2.4% overall, helped by a decrease of seven basis points in the average mortgage rate on a 30-year conventional fixed loan to 4.33%. An 8% increase in refinance applications offset a 2% downturn in weekly purchase applications.
Initial jobless claims were down ever so slightly, falling 1,000 to 211,000 last week. The four-week average was down 4,750 to come in at 220,250.
Continuing claims did see an increase of 12,000 to settle at 1.676 million. This pushed the four-week average up 5,500 to come in at about 1.674 million.
New Home Sales
New home sales were down 6.9% in April to come in at 673,000. However, this was offset by the fact that there were 39,000 sales added in recalculations for February and March. When looking at the three-month average, the numbers were up 2.4% from March.
Prices of new homes saw quite a jump, up 11.9% in April to 342,200. The spike helped push the median price up 8.8% on the year. Supply was down 0.9% in April to come in at 332,000 units. However, given the current sales pace, supply actually rose to 5.9 months versus 5.6 months in March. Sales are up 7% on the year.
Durable Goods Orders
New orders of durable goods were down 2.1% in April. A lot of the loss could be blamed on fewer transportation orders. When this category was taken out, orders were flat for the month. However, orders of core capital goods were down 0.9%. While numbers in the first two categories actually came in better than expectations, analysts had been projecting a 0.1% increase in the number of core capital goods orders.
Unfortunately, core capital goods orders were also revised down to a 0.3% increase from March, compared to an initial reading of a 1.3%. Orders of primary metals were down 1.9% and new vehicle orders were down 3.4%. This is always volatile, but civilian aircraft orders fell 39%. This is something we’ll continue to keep an eye on given the cancellations of Boeing 737 Max orders in the wake of those aircraft crashes.
Fabrications were up 0.4% and orders for machinery rose 0.1%. However, both follow significant declines for February and March, so analysts had hoped for a bit more of a bounce back.
Mortgage rates continue to be in a really good spot whether you’re looking to purchase or refinance. If you’re interested, it’s a great time to lock your rate.
The average rate on a 30-year fixed with 0.5 points paid in fees was down a single basis point to 4.06%. This has fallen from 4.66% a year ago.
Looking at shorter-term loans, the average rate on a 15- | [

Jesus answered and said to them, “Destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up.”... Therefore, when he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they came to believe the scripture and the word Jesus had spoken.

Jesus, our brother, you showed us the way to salvation. Help us to remember your words and to live in awareness of your presence. | [

This is a quick insight in my thesis called "From observation to provocation" which shows a research about my view on vulnerability, personal space, body language and erotic tension. In this thesis/book i will approach different angles of observation and provocation methods. The triangle between the photographer, model and camera. It originated from my graduation project "Closing In'. Which literally means coming closer. It underlines aspects like finding the right distance, voyeurism, looking and vulnerability. It shows how people react when they find themselves in an unusual private situation, being captured and how they are forced in a way to let go of control, and cannot hide from their physical emotion. It works like a mirror.
When are we really vulnerable? How do we deal with personal space? When does it become too akward? Is there a pattern? How far are people willing to go to expose themselves or cross their own border? In this book it is all about the subtle movements in their face and body when exposed, and how close I can get as a stranger. Those pronounced seconds. The sequences. The transition from being tense to relaxed. I lose some kind of control in this process but it allows me to stay, and be something other then a mere spectator. The essential in the nature of the situation I provoke is the tension that is released beyond my control. When I enter the space of nudity, I see it more as a platform for our expressions or our fears, our passions, who we are. After all its a challenge to capture emotion in an image.
This book is a preview compared to how the real book is going to be, whichI am working on right now. It will contain new people, new insights and different cultures. Also it still has to be published. So if you are interested in the next edition of the book, for pre-ordering (this one is the thesis version) please send an email to: email@example.com

Higher Dawn orbit produces breathtaking new images of Ceres
NASA’s Dawn spacecraft, now in a higher orbit around Ceres, captured breathtaking new views of the dwarf planet, including one of Occator Crater which is the site of the uncanny bright spots that have intrigued scientists for more than a year and a half.
The Dawn team released the new images, along with a processed one that shows how Ceres would appear in color when viewed up close by the naked eye.
For its fifth science orbit, Dawn spiraled from close-in to about 920 miles (1,480 kilometers) above the surface in early October, where its instruments imaged Occator Crater from a position in which the angle of the Sun is different than it has been in any earlier photos.
In the above image, taken on October 16, the limb of the dwarf planet is visible. At the center of the picture, Occator Crater and its bright deposits are prominently displayed. Close to the limb, other bright but less reflective areas can also be seen.
The large crater was likely formed when a meteorite impacted Ceres several million years ago, stirring up rocky material that now lies nearby outside the crater.
After more than a year of speculation, scientists surmise that the bright deposits within Occator Crater are salts which were dissolved in a liquid that was pushed to the surface following the impact.
That liquid subsequently froze, then sublimated into gaseous form, leaving the salt deposits behind.
“This image captures the wonder of soaring above this fascinating, unique world that Dawn is the first to explore,” said Marc Rayman, chief engineer and mission director of Dawn at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in California.
Since entering orbit around Ceres in March 2015, Dawn has spotted ice volcanoes on its surface and determined the dwarf planet to be a geologically active world.
Occator Crater, which is 57 miles (92 kilometers) wide and 2.5 miles (four kilometers) deep, is one of several sites on Ceres with evidence of recent geological activity.
From Ceres’ density, scientists know it contains a lot of water and could possibly harbor a subsurface ocean.
The other image released (shown right), processed to appear in color as Ceres would to the human eye, was created from several photos that Dawn took in 2015 during its first science orbit, using its camera’s red, green, and blue filters.
Scientists at the German Aerospace Center in Berlin based the colors in the image on Ceres’ reflection of light at various wavelengths.
Tens of thousands of photos of Ceres have been taken during Dawn’s five science orbits, including close-ups taken just 240 miles (385 kilometers) from the surface, closer than the International Space Station (ISS) orbits the Earth.
The spacecraft headed toward a sixth, much higher science orbit on November 4, which will take it more than 4,500 miles (7,200 kilometers) above the small planet’s surface.
Now in its extended mission, Dawn will use this orbit to fine-tune measurements taken in all its previous orbits of Ceres. It will also use its gamma ray and neutron spectrometer, which have been studying Ceres’ composition, to study radiation produced by cosmic rays.
The ability to separate signals coming from outside the planet from those originating inside it will improve the accuracy of data collected.
Through a new technique in which Dawn’s ion engine thrusts in the same direction the spacecraft is going, engineers can reduce the amount of hydrazine and xenon fuel needed to spiral to the higher orbit, which Dawn should reach in early December.
Dawn is the first spacecraft to orbit two separate planetary bodies. Launched in 2007, it orbited and studied protoplanet Vesta between July 2011 and September 2012 before departing for Ceres.

Dear Readers, As I’ve mentioned before, one of my favorite things about chick flicks (defined here, subjectively, as: “movies I would want to see with my girlfriends”) is the emotional connection that can form between characters and the audience when a movie is centered around a common life experience. This bond allows the
Initially released at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival, 10 Years is about a formerly tight-knit group of friends reuniting for their ten-year high school reunion. For many of us, the anxiety that surrounds such milestones is not about whether we are happy with our present. Rather, we fear what we might have to confront from our past. And so it is for the characters of 10 Years, each of whom arrives at the reunion saddled by some sort of high school-related, emotional baggage.

Dr. Gina Messina, Associate Professor of Religious Studies at Ursuline College
To argue that Jesus was not political is to disregard everything he stood for. While many claim that Jesus was solely focused on individual morality, in fact, Jesus was calling for a restructuring of the socio-political terrain of his time. We cannot forget that Jesus lived in a highly politicized culture during the 1st century, when the Roman Empire wielded its power over Israel and its people. This course will examine what the politics of Jesus were, how they ultimately led to his crucifixion, and how they continue to relate to our political system in the 21st century.

The combination of ocean warming and an infectious wasting disease has devastated populations of large sunflower sea stars once abundant along the West Coast of North America in just a few years, according to a study co-led by the University of California, Davis, and Cornell University published Jan. 30 in the journal Science Advances.
“In California, Washington and parts of British Columbia, sunflower sea stars keep urchins under control,” said Joseph Gaydos, senior author on the paper and director of UC Davis’ SeaDoc Society program. “Without sunflower stars, urchin populations expand and threaten kelp forests and biodiversity. This cascading effect has a really big impact.”
Every year, the SeaDoc Society funds prominent scientists to conduct important research in the Salish Sea. Proposals for this year’s projects’ are due February 22 by 5pm. SeaDoc works to ensure the health of marine wildlife and their ecosystems through science and education and does not take policy positions nor serve in an advocacy role. This year the SeaDoc Society requests proposals only for projects that scientifically address one of the four priority topics below.
Herring are a small fish that play a big role up the food chain, and at the moment scientists don’t know nearly enough about their health status in the Salish Sea. That’s why SeaDoc funded a study that helped bring many top herring experts together for the first time–a crucial first step in ensuring their future.
The team recently published a report, “Assessment and Management of Pacific Herring in the Salish Sea: Conserving and Recovering a Culturally Significant and Ecologically Critical Component of the Food Web,” which included the creation of a model that simulated how herring populations respond to key environmental stressors under various scenarios.
For thousands of years, abalone provided food and shells for local tribes, only to be fished out by poachers and over-harvested due to poor management. Now they are functionally extinct, meaning there are so few they can’t find a mate and reproduce.
Despite a ban on harvest and the creation of a captive breeding program, remnant populations of pinto abalone are not reproducing in the wild and may be facing local extinction. Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife is seeking public comment on a proposal to list the pinto abalone as a State Endangered Species.
Born and raised in Eastern Washington, far from saltwater of the Salish Sea, Jess didn’t discover her pull to the ocean until her first SCUBA course in Thailand 10 years ago. After that she was “hooked” and was soon on a path to becoming a SCUBA instructor in Egypt, an underwater photographer ready to share the awe and wonder with others, and a life that would evolve around this deep developed passion for our ocean. | [

Track your progress for better results With an InBody Assessment
Going beyond your bathroom scale, body composition analysis breaks down your body composition into four components: fat, lean body mass, minerals, and body water. This is an excellent way to test your body composition changes over a set period of dieting and exercise.
By taking the structural characteristics of the human body into consideration, the InBody uses 2 current and voltage electrodes for each hand and foot, requiring the user to grasp and step on to a total of 8 electrodes.
The design significantly improves ease of use for repeated tests, even when the measuring posture is changed or when measurements are taken multiple times. The measurement always starts and ends at the same points—the wrists and the ankles—ensuring accurate results. | [

Separate names with a comma.
an oldie but a goodie.. almost forgot about that one.
Paranormal Activity 2 - 5/10 - This film was a subplot of the first film. I was bored quickly after seeing essentially the same scene over and over. Boring to say the least. The first film was more entertaining and suspenseful.
Personally I disagree. Hated the first one. Bored me out of my mind and found it totally predictable.
The Hunt for Red October.
I still think that Alec Baldwin was the best Jack Donachy... sorry... Ryan...
Shutter Island- 8/10 Pretty damn good, i've been meaning to watch this since early 2008, having it be postponed then not catching it in the Cinema was annoying.
Yeah, one of the best ever. One of the few movies I think really deserves a 9 rating. It's almost perfect.
Disagree. If you haven´t already see Touch the void! 127h is a brilliant movie. Most of Boyles productions are but some of the impact was lost having seen Touching the Void before.
United 93 - 9/10
Book of Eli - 8/10
Both versions are very good. I have to admit that Jonathan Demme (Silence of the lambs) did an amazing job with the remake of this classic.
The Road - 8/10
A very solid, well-acted adaptation of the novel. Some of the boy's dialogue didn't translate too well. The innocence of the boy's words in the novel seemed more Home-Alone-y when said out loud. SO MUCH SEPIA. I had actually imagined the scenery to be much more grey than brown but whatever.
The taking of Pelham 123 (2009) - 8/10
I really like Denzel Washington
Rest Stop (2006) - 0/10
Worst movie ever!
SALT 8/10-Alot of good action scenes..angie shouldnt go blonde though
A tidbit for someone maybe unaware, Nolan's first film Following has been on Netflix Watch Instantly for a while. It's good, and one can already make out his sensibilities. Also, it's a breeze at just over a hour.
( Book-Fi recommendation for Die Hard fans. "One Fine Day in the Middle of the Night" by Christopher Brookmyre. Dead funny, dead exciting, dead good. Especially if you grew up in Scotland.)
(As for the language, barrier, I'm with G'Kar...)
G'Kar: I told you I could help. The Book of G'Quan. Read it. We'll talk afterwards.
Garibaldi: I don't read Scottish.
But back on topic, something I actually watched yesterday? And enjoyed a lot?
I'll be rolling up jacket and shirt sleeves in an 80s style and calling everyone John for the next few days at least... | [

Vehicle Tubular Bumpers
Tubular bumpers are an aftermarket component, used in many large vehicles in order to replace the vehicle's original bumper. These bumpers are different from an ordinary bumpers, because they are built around strength and longevity rather than just safety. Because of this, tubular bumpers are most commonly used on all terrain vehicles, that are subjected to rough conditions. Tubular bumpers are better in rough conditions, because they provide better protection for the components on the grille and hood. The tubular design of this kind of bumper, also allows aftermarket accessories to be mounted in place easier. Some popular accessories that can be mounted on a tubular bumper are a winch, lights, and even a hitch on the rear bumper.
The material used to make tubular bumpers is usually steel that is powder coated or plated with chrome. Using a high grade metal is important because a tubular bumper still has to provide the same safety measures that a standard bumper would, in the event of a collision. The design of a tubular bumper can vary greatly depending on what type of vehicle it is being installed on, and what type of conditions that the vehicle will be operating in. Vehicles used for daily driving as well as off-roading, will likely use a smaller and more concealed tubular bumper, than a vehicle which is purposely built only for off road use.
Installation of a tubular bumper is a fairly straight forward and simple process. Almost all tubular bumpers will use the same bumper mounts that the original bumper used. This means that the new bumper would be able to bolted into place after the original is removed. When planning to install lights on the tubular bumper, wires should be ran prior to installation, so that they are hidden and protected once everything is in place. | [

Professor Goel's Story
How do you handle nuclear waste that will be radioactive for millions of years, keeping it from harming people and the environment? It isn’t easy, but Rutgers researcher Ashutosh Goel has discovered ways to immobilize such waste – the offshoot of decades of nuclear weapons production – in glass and ceramics.
Goel, an assistant professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, is the primary inventor of a new method to immobilize radioactive iodine in ceramics at room temperature. The research may eventually help lead to ways to safely dispose of highly radioactive spent nuclear fuel that is stored now at commercial nuclear power plants.

Benvenuti nel mondo di Lamborghini!
There’s a front active spoiler which acts dually for maximizing downforce for high speed cornering and high stability and, to minimize drag for top acceleration and top speed. This is achieved by switching of an internal flap inside the front spoiler between two positions. The different air passage paths then either provide a minimal drag or a maximal downforce depending upon the configuration of the internal flap previously mentioned.
There’s a rear active wing too, which consists of another such valve-shaped-flap internally present into the main wing structure. This is also integrated for dual purpose solving, i.e. the maximizing of downforce in high speed cornering situations for stability and the other for minimizing of drag once the car starts to accelerate and gain speed.
Usually these two flaps work in conjunction with one another to provide a profound complete effect on whatever action the car’s computer decides.
Upon activation of the ALA system, whenever throttle is floored and the car accelerates crazily, the spoilers position themselves so as to minimize drag. When a corner is encountered, the configuration is such that maximum downforce is obtained and the car stops with a good brake bite and aids the carbon ceramic rotors eventually.
Lamborghini say that this braking assist solution adds a whopping 750% addition to the mid corner stability in the braze zones on track.
NOW, IT MUST BE OCCURRING TO YOU AS THE SAME SOLUTIONS WHICH FERRARI’S BEEN USING FOR THE LAFERRARI WHERE THERE ARE BOTTOM MOUNTED FLAPS ON THE UNDERBODY PROJECTIONS UPFRONT AND AT THE BACK, or that it is just a computer which once used to handle the active aero packages on the rear wing, now is assigned a task to take care of the frontal flaps too.
But it is much more complex than that. And revolutionary too.
Most amongst us must have heard about torque vectoring technology being implemented in modern day super and sports cars for correcting understeer when cornering around the track at elevated speeds. The differential unit tackles the outer wheel losing traction by selective power and torque delivery to the inner cornering wheel for instant pulling and perfect execution of the turn maneuver.
Cars like some Audis, BMWs, Acuras etc use this technology in their sports sedans and track special counterparts
EVER HEARD OF SOMETHING CALLED AERO-VECTORING???
Say you’re driving a Lamborghini integrated with the ALA dynamics. You’re on the track and are pushing the limits off this bull you’re riding. You encounter a corner and wish to tackle it with throttle application on slight understeer, which has been the character of many past gen Lamborghinis.
THE ALA CHIPS IN.
The inside of the car (with respect to the turn), optimizes the active aero for maximizing drag for improved traction and grip, while the outer portion retains configuration for proper acceleration.
INNOVATIVE AND AMAZING, AIN’T IT?
THIS IS LAMBORGHINI AUTOMOBILI FOR YOU.
PURE, RAW, SOPHISTICATED.
Hold up ma nerdizzles!
Say hello to the HURACAN PERFORMANTE, saying folk shizzles!
Remember some car reviews featuring an important mention about it being tested and then consequently built at the Nurburgring? These cars are track veterans and are ready to devour any street or strip you may find, having braved the high undulations and down lows at the world’s most popular test track, Nurburgring, Germany.
One such Lamborghini which was engineered with the ALA and for conquering the German track, was the Huracan. And the newer, faster and the meaner version came to be known as the Huracan Performante.
Let’s watch a video of studying the extreme performance of the Performante on track:
So, what happens next?
One word, TRIUMPH. | [

This is Phase 2 of the Advanced Manufacturing and Materials programme, part of the BEIS wider Nuclear Innovation Programme.
Award: Up to £10 million per project
Opens: 15th Jan 2019
Closes: 8th Mar 2019
BEIS launched the Nuclear Innovation Programme in November 2016, covering 6 key areas.
Phase 1 of the Advanced Manufacturing and Materials strand of the programme provided initial funding to develop technologies in advanced manufacturing and materials.
Phase 2 is a £20m investment programme and focuses on increasing the manufacturing or technology readiness levels of technologies, including those established in Phase 1, towards demonstration and commercialisation.
Phase 2 will be output led, producing a technology demonstrator or a number of demonstrators that include advanced manufacturing/construction techniques; incorporating and developing the learning and technologies from the Phase 1 funded programme.
Demonstrations will involve trial builds (or equivalent) including one or more of the technologies funded in Phase 1, relevant to factory-build, modular and advanced construction, and digital engineering execution and assurance. These techniques could then be applied to the build, maintenance and decommissioning of a nuclear sites as well as future technologies.
The demonstrator(s) will exhibit the anticipated benefits of advanced manufacturing techniques relevant to both near term and advanced nuclear technologies, meet the required standards such that they could be used in an operational environment (or significantly improve the understanding of the requirements for operational deployment). Each demonstrator project in Phase 2 will encompass at least one of the Phase 2 work areas – detailed below.
Phase 2 Work Areas:
Funding to support projects is available until 31st March 2021. As such, the BEIS funded elements of any projects must be financially complete by that date.

Objective: To understand, through a simulation experiment in a nonhuman primate model, the potential in vivo spermatotoxic toxic effect of hexavalent chromium (CrVI) in men who are occupationally or environmentally exposed to it. Design: Controlled laboratory study. Setting: Research laboratory in a department of endocrinology in a university in India. Animal(s): Male bonnet monkey, Macaca radiata Geoffroy. Intervention(s): Monkeys were exposed ad libitum to 100, 200, and 400 ppm CrVI, dissolved in drinking water, for a chronic period of 180 days. Main Outcome Measure(s): Examination of epididymis with a transmission electron microscope and assessment of the effect of CrVI in terms of accumulation of sperm-derived lipofuscin (LF) material in the principal cells, basal cells, and intraepithelial macrophages of the epithelium. Result(s): The abundance of basal cells and intraepithelial macrophages and the content of LF material in these cell types increased. The principal cells phagocytosed from the lumen the dead sperm resulting from CrVI exposure and processed them partially into LF material, which was acquired by the basal cells and intraepithelial macrophages and processed further. The LF material-laden basal cells and intraepithelial macrophages appeared to leave the epithelium, accompanied by recruitment of fresh basal cells and intraepithelial macrophages. Conclusion(s): Occupational or environmental exposure to CrVI, as would occur in the tannery, soap, and other industries in developing and underdeveloped countries, can be toxic in vivo to spermatozoa. © 2006 American Society for Reproductive Medicine.

In peptide synthesis, peptide coupling chemicals are essential because they make it easier for amino acids to form peptide bonds. For the creation of peptides with certain sequences, which are necessary for a variety of biological and medicinal applications, these reagents are indispensable. In the science of peptide synthesis, peptide coupling reagents are essential instruments that allow chemists to join amino acids to create the complex chains that make up peptides and proteins. By activating one amino acid's carboxyl group, these chemicals enable it to react with another amino acid's amino group. Peptide bonds, the fundamental building blocks of protein structure, are formed as a result. Dictylcarbodiimide (DCC) is one of the oldest and most widely used peptide coupling reagents. By creating an active ester intermediate, DCC activates the carboxyl group, which subsequently combines with the amino group of another amino acid to form the peptide bond. Despite its effectiveness, DCC has drawbacks such a limited solubility in typical organic solvents and the possibility of adverse reactions. To get around these problems, several derivatives have been produced, including N,N'-diisopropylcarbodiimide (DIC) and 1-Ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide (EDC). Due to its water solubility and compatibility with a wide range of functional groups, EDC has become more popular in the peptide synthesis industry. The process by which EDC forms a peptide bond is by first activating the carboxyl group as an O-acylisourea intermediate, which subsequently combines with the amino group. For peptide chemists, its effectiveness combined with low adverse reactions makes it an invaluable tool.Benzotriazol-1-yloxytris(dimethylamino) phosphonium hexafluorophosphate (BOP) is another noteworthy peptide coupling reagent. BOP generates large yields of peptide bonds and is incredibly selective and efficient. In order to generate a peptide bond, it first activates the carboxyl group as a mixed anhydride, which subsequently interacts with the amino group. BOP is very helpful in linking peptides that are prone to aggregation or challenging amino acids. HATU (O-(7-azabenzotriazol-1-yl)-N,N,N',N'-tetramethyluronium hexafluorophosphate) has been a popular coupling reagent among peptide chemists in recent years. A variety of amino acid and peptide sequences can be used with HATU since it is effective, selective, and adaptable. In order to create a stable intermediate that easily combines with the amino group to establish the peptide bond, it activates the carboxyl group as an active ester. For many peptide synthesis projects, its wide range of applications and simplicity of use have made it the go-to reagent. The magnitude of the synthesis, the intended peptide sequence, and the amino acids involved all influence the choice of peptide coupling reagent. Peptide chemists are able to choose the best reagent for their synthesis requirements by taking into account the distinct benefits and factors that each one offers. Peptide chemistry advances as novel coupling reagents and techniques are developed in tandem with the ongoing evolution of peptide synthesis. | [

The actress recently shared some baby bump and throwback photos on her Instagram account, as she is celebrating the arrival of her new bundle of joy very soon. She wrote, “Who would have thought this is what 30 would look like. What a heartbreaking, thrilling, and breathtaking life it’s been so far. I sit here in so much gratitude of all of it.”
“It feels special to know that there are so many beautiful moments I haven’t experienced yet,” she continued, “and so many life-altering moments I already have. I hold an appreciation for the past and an excitement for the future in balance more than ever this birthday.”
If that weren’t enough, Briana also paid tribute to her mother Tia in her post. “Experiencing this big transition of becoming a mother I realize how much my birthday is a celebration of you, too,” she said, adding, “It’s a huge sacrifice. One that I’m learning society can often overlook rather than be in pure awe and appreciation of. Spiritually, physically, and emotionally, it demands everything of you,” she added. “On Jan. 19, 30 years ago, you were shedding who you were to become a different version of yourself the same way I am shedding my skin for a new one. I appreciate you and love you beyond words I could use to communicate. So here’s to us.”
General Hospital News: Briana Is Getting Ready To Be A Mom!

Melexis’ MLX90374 monolithic magnetic position processor IC enables the design of non-contacting position sensors in automotive and industrial applications
Melexis’ MLX90374, a Triaxis® family position sensor, offers stray field robustness featuring two output drivers, high operating voltage, and temperature operation.
The MLX90374 is a monolithic magnetic position processor IC. It consists of a Triaxis Hall magnetic front end, an analog-to-digital signal conditioner, a DSP for advanced signal processing, and a dual output stage driver.
The MLX90374 is sensitive to the three components of the magnetic flux density applied to the IC (i.e., Bx, By, and Bz). This allows the MLX90374 with the correct magnetic circuit to decode the absolute position of any moving magnet (e.g., rotary position from 0 to 360° or linear displacement). It enables the design of non-contacting position sensors that are frequently required for both automotive and industrial applications.
The MLX90374 provides either a dual PWM output or a combination of SENT plus a programmable switch function. In dual PWM output mode, the circuit offers a wide panel of configurations from fully redundant signals to individually configurable outputs, including the choice between several error reporting modes. In SENT mode, the circuit delivers enhanced serial messages consisting of error codes and user-defined values.
- ASIL-C capability (per die) (SEooC)
- High temperature (-40°C to +160°C)/high operating voltage
- Two configurable output drivers
- Stray field immune (up to 4 kA/m) mode of operation
- In-application programmable
- Triaxis Hall technology
- On-chip signal processing for robust absolute position sensing
- AEC-Q100 qualified
- Programmable measurement range
- Programmable linear transfer characteristic (4 or 8 multipoints or 16 or 32 PWL)
- PWM redundant dual output
- SENT and programmable switch dual output
- SAE J2716 APR2016 SENT
- Enhanced serial data communication
- 48-bit ID number option
- Single die – SOIC-8 package (RoHS)
- PCB-less DMP-4 package (RoHS)
- Robustness against stray-field

KELVIN: Life, Labours and Legacy. Edited by Raymond Flood, Mark McCartney and Andrew Whitaker. 376 pp. Oxford University Press, 2008. $110.
Lord Kelvin, especially in the last decades of his long life, was a genuine celebrity. Beyond his achievements in science, he had gained prominence for his forays into industrial engineering—his efforts were crucial to the success of the transatlantic telegraph cable—and had established himself as one of the earliest examples of what we might call a technologist, a man who applied scientific principles to commercial ventures. He made himself wealthy in the process, rose to the peerage and traveled widely. His visits to North America were noted on the front page of the New York Times and other newspapers, and reporters eagerly sought out his views—which he was equally eager to supply—on science, industry, commerce, even politics. On his death in 1907, at the age of 83, he was interred next to Isaac Newton in Westminster Abbey, to reside forever alongside perhaps the most supreme mind of science.
But how quickly his star faded! To be sure, he died just as the emergence of radioactivity, quantum theory and relativity transformed physics, but still, we remember and celebrate such contemporaries of Kelvin as James Clerk Maxwell, Michael Faraday, James Prescott Joule and Ludwig Boltzmann. In his day, Kelvin was far better known than any of them, but in 1999, when the U.K. Institute of Physics polled its members for the top physicists of all time, Kelvin didn't even crack the top 30.
Public reputation notwithstanding, Kelvin's status among his fellow scientists had in fact begun to fall well before his death. He never embraced Maxwell's theory of electromagnetism, finding it too abstract, too formal. He spent years tinkering with the so-called vortex model of atoms, which portrayed atoms as knots and twists in the light-carrying ether. The ether itself he strove manfully to depict in literally mechanical form, conjuring up models with springs and balls and levers intricately interconnected to create a medium that could sustain electric and magnetic fields and electromagnetic waves in the manner that Maxwell's theory described but, to Kelvin's way of thinking, didn't explain. This all seems today, to any physicist who happens to come across it, hopelessly antique. So it seemed, indeed, to a good many of Kelvin's colleagues in the closing years of his life.
Kelvin: Life, Labours and Legacy is a collection of essays that aims, in the words of the editors (Raymond Flood, Mark McCartney and Andrew Whitaker), "to re-evaluate and rehabilitate Lord Kelvin," meaning, I suppose, that they would like readers to come away with a clearer and more just view of the man. I don't know that the book achieves that goal. Certainly the various contributions, from historians, physicists and engineers, depict the truly astonishing range of activities in which Kelvin made a mark. In the end, though, assessing the significance of his ideas and the extent of his influence remains as murky a task as it always has been.
The first two chapters briefly recount the early life and education of William Thomson, as he then was called. Born in Belfast in 1824, he was the son of James Thomson, a teacher of mathematics who eight years later was appointed a Glasgow professor. William was from the outset a bonny, blithe and all too clearly brilliant child. Even before he became a Cambridge undergraduate he published (anonymously, because of his father's strict views on academic etiquette) a short paper exposing errors in a critique by the Edinburgh professor Philip Kelland of Joseph Fourier's great opus, The Analytical Theory of Heat. And William, as soon as he had finished at Cambridge, raced off to Paris to spend the summer in the company of Joseph Liouville, Jean Baptiste Biot, Augustin Louis Cauchy and their colleagues, and to learn from Victor Regnault the elements of laboratory science.
William Thomson returned to Cambridge as a college fellow, but just a year later, at the age of 22, he was appointed to the Chair of Natural Philosophy at Glasgow, becoming a faculty colleague of his father. Declining three requests to return to Cambridge as Cavendish professor, William remained at Glasgow the rest of his life.
It was his early reading of Fourier and his stint in Paris, more than his few years at Cambridge, that became the foundation of William Thomson's scientific career. From Fourier he gained theoretical insight into heat, and from Regnault, as well as from his own older brother, James, a distinguished engineer, he learned to understand heat empirically. From Liouville he acquired at first a rather skeptical view of Faraday's controversial notions on electric and magnetic influences, the latter's curving "lines of force" seeming to stand in contradiction to the French idea of rect | [

Hackney and Waltham Forest have the worst roads in London, with the boroughs of Tower Hamlets and Newham not faring much better.
According to Department for Transport figures published earlier this year, Hackney has the highest percentage of main roads where "maintenance should be considered".
The issues with these roads range from wear and tear and potholes to more serious road surface issues, which can make the roads less safe for motorists as well as cyclists.
In Hackney, 7 per cent of A roads need attention. An additional 10 per cent of minor roads, B and C roads also need maintenance work.
The cumulative figures mean Hackney has the worst main roads in the capital.
By contrast, Hounslow has the best main roads in the capital, with just 1 per cent of A roads in need of maintenance, and no B and C classified roads in need of care.
However, incomplete statistics for unclassified roads, which make up around 60 per cent of the road network, suggest Waltham Forest has by far the worst roads in the country.
Hackney is among the places not included in these figures, however.
In Waltham Forest, around 40 per cent of local, unclassified roads, were deemed to be in need of maintenance in the 2017/18 period, the latest for which statistics are available.
Meanwhile just 4 per cent of A roads and 4 per cent of B and C roads needed to be repaired.
Statistics for unclassified roads were only available for 19 of the 33 boroughs of London. Greenwich has the second worst local roads, with 29 per cent, closely followed by Hammersmith and Fulham, at 28 per cent and Merton at 27 per cent.
Below is a list of the local authorities with the worst local roads in London.
|Borough||Percentage of local roads in need of maintenance|
|Hammersmith and Fulham||28|
|Kensington and Chelsea||21|
|City of London||20|
Unlike other areas of the country, London does not receive annual government support to maintain its roads.
The London Technical Advisors Group (LoTAG), a network of highway and transport officers that represent all boroughs and Transport for London, is asking the Government to give boroughs the budgets they need to keep the roads free of potholes.
Hounslow has the best roads in London, which it achieved by tendering out road maintenance to Hounslow Highways, a private finance initiative which is supported by central government.
The Department for Transport and Treasury committed £14 million a year over 25 years starting in 2012 for the maintenance of the roads in the borough.
Below is a table showing the percentage of A, B and C roads in each borough of London that require maintenance.

Safety is a very important property for safety-critical software systems. We introduce an approach to test safety-critical software systems based on safety requirement by using model-based testing. The model is extracted from the safety requirement and system under test. In our approach, we use model checking techniques to generate test cases. To find appropriate test cases in less time, we divide the states spaces of model into different subsets. By using the approach, we have designed an automatic testing framework and developed an automatic testing platform, which has been used for testing the safety of high speed train control system in China. | [

You must understand this...
When it comes to life there are certain rules that apply to every human being who walks the earth. These rules apply to all, you must understand this, and when you do, then you will master
your life and gain the power that you want for yourself.
You are to know that everything you do will have some type of outcome.
This is very simple when you take a look at the root of it. If everything that you do, will have an outcome, then it is important that you’re conscious of all your actions.
Doubt yourself, and all you’re doing is holding yourself back from going further.
You can choose to be lazy, and do nothing with your life, and you know what the outcome would be?
Yeah, it would be an outcome that won’t be conducive to your growth as a human being. I am sure you wouldn’t want to sit back, and watch your life waste away.
I am sure you wouldn’t want precious years of your life to just waste away, and become nothing but time wasted.
When you really look at how you’re in charge of all the outcomes to your life, then this will be your “aha” moment as Oprah would say. At this moment, you will be able to recognize why it would be in your best interest to create a life that’s filled with glory.
You will now realize why your life must be one with accomplishments, and fulfillment. No matter what profession you may be in, or if you have your own business; you must see to it that you’re always fulfilled.
If you chose to remain in a state of anger, and remain a slave to an alarm clock. A slave to a routine in which has you constantly depressed, then that was the outcome on a choice that you made.
All the outcomes to your life are a result of your own actions. I know that I will get some people who will email me, and say “Someone else did this to me, or someone else is holding me back.”
To that I say this.
If you know that someone else is holding you back, or better yet, if you think that someone else is holding you back, all you’re doing is giving life to the thought that someone else is keeping you from going further in life.
Once you give this kind of thought any life, then you’re immediately creating a situation where you’re conjuring up a doubtful situation, as a result you will always doubt whether you’re capable of being more than what you already are.
Doubt yourself, and all you’re doing is holding yourself back from going further. Take yourself serious, and don’t do something that can give you an outcome that wouldn’t leave you happy, and bursting with joy.
On that note I leave you with this simple thing to remember.
The month coming will reflect what you did today. Think about that for one minute. | [

Hello and welcome to Tools4Beats.
Never has the opportunity been so good to start making beats! The choice of software, hardware and samples is as huge as never before and it’s steadily increasing. You can begin to make beats in minutes with software packages that cost as little as 40 $ or even less. Or you can spend a lot more money and get software with features and creative possibillities producers didn’t even dared to dream of only 10 years ago. The choice ist vast, but not all beat makers are worth their money. And not all good beat makers will meet your your specific needs and preferences.
I started this site to help you find the right product and prevent you from falling for false claims and empty promises (and there is lots of them out there). You will find reviews of beat making programs, useful audio software and other related products like sample packs and headphones. I will tell you the pros and the cons of any product I review. (Well…isn’t that the purpose of a review? Sure it is. Or at least it should be. You may have come across some of the so called review sites, where strangely all reviewed products have only pros and no con at all.)
You will find tips and tricks on certain techniques that you can apply to any musical style, be it hip hop, house, dubstep, techno, EDM or whatever style is yours.
You’ ll find tips on nontechnical aspects of beat making like motivation, inspiration and how to get your music heard.
And I will share some great resources that will help you refine your skills, gain new ideas and insights from award winning engineers and producers.
When ever you have a question about an article, a review or a product that I may not have reviewed yet, feel free to ask in the comments section or contact me directly via the contact form. When you need help because you feel stuck, don’t hesitate to contact me. It’s my purpose to help you with this site and as I’m a real person, you will get a real answer from me as quickly as possible.
Beat making is a lot of fun with the right tools and resources at hand. It really can have a positive impact on your life when you work constantly on your skills, connect with like minded people and don’t expect to win a grammy with no effort in no time. Go step by step, get a little better every day and you won’t believe how far you’ve come one year from now!
Have fun and be creative! | [

In the rapidly growing Helmet Mounted Systems (HMS) market Elbit Systems is operating from a position of strength and global leadership after innovating and integrating three generations of HMSs for both fixed and rotary wing aircraft. Elbit Systems and our subsidiary Vision Systems International (VSI), jointly owned with Kaiser Electronics (a Rockwell Collins Company) have more production and operational experience than any other company in the field.
Our HMSs incorporate tracking and display systems for target designation, weapon and sensor slaving and processing and display of tactical information day and night. They are supplied as part of upgrade programs as well as on a stand-alone basis. Elbit Systems fixed wing HMS technology is the basis for the U.S. Joint Helmet Mounted
Cueing System (JHMCS) program.
Through VSI all frontline U.S. F-15, F-16, F/A-18 and F-22s will be equipped with the JHMCS. The pre-eminence in the field extends to Helicopter HMSs, particularly in the Attack Rotorcraft HMS market where our ANVIS/HUD is the preferred choice for utility rotorcraft platforms. More than 5,000 helicopters world wide are equipped with Elbit Systems ANVIS HUD systems.
The core competencies developed over time are now being applied to new needs, for example, Helmet Mounted Displays geared for ground vehicles which deliver real time information day/night to wherever the wearer/driver looks.
Elbit Systems sees great potential for expanding this product line and leveraging HMS technology into commercial applications as well. | [

East Mississippi Electric Power Association will begin installing new meters in the spring of 2015 to increase the efficiency and reliability of the electric system. Improving the efficiency of operations and power delivery can help keep costs down for our members.
The biggest change? With the new meters from Landis+Gyr, EMEPA will be able to monitor, control and read meters remotely. This will save time, labor and operational expenses.
In addition to reducing operational expenses, the new meters will help improve the reliability of our system. The new technology enables EMEPA to be proactive in detecting problems quickly and locate outages more precisely, sometimes even before a member has a chance to report it.
Advanced meters can provide detailed information that empowers members to control their overall energy cost, helps operators monitor the electric system in near real-time and enables customer service representatives to address billing questions.
At EMEPA, taking advantage of new technologies allows us to improve efficiency and reliability, which is one more way that we are looking out for our members.
Frequently Asked Questions about Advanced Meters
How does my new automated meter work?
With these new meters, EMEPA can read the meter remotely from our central office. Information from the meter is generally transmitted back to EMEPA four times a day. This means that a meter reader no longer is required to come to your house each month. However, EMEPA representatives will continue to occasionally come on your property for maintenance inspections and to ensure safety during storms and outages.
What’s the difference between the new meters and the old meters?
EMEPA has been using both electronic (digital displays) and electro-mechanical meters (mechanical dials) for many years. All new meters being installed will be electronic and have a digital LCD display. New meters will store metering information electronically inside the meter rather than through mechanical dials and registers, and it will periodically transmit the information securely to EMEPA’s office.
What information does the new meter record?
The new meter records the total kWh usage like your existing meter. In addition, it can record the usage over time and the maximum demand as well as quality of service measurements such as the number of blinks, outages, low and high voltages and times of outages and restorations.
How does the new meter communicate and transmit data?
The meters use radio signals in a selected frequency range to transmit and receive information. The meters are able to transmit messages in a matter of seconds or less, very similar to sending a text message, at power levels less than half of a mobile phone. This technology has been used effectively in the utility industry for over 20 years and is also found in common consumer devices such as cordless telephones, baby monitors and WIFI routers.
Are there any potential health impacts from a meter that can receive and send data?
No. Research conducted by the Electric Power Research Institute, the Utilities Telecom Council and others has revealed no health impacts from advanced meters. The radio frequencies emitted by digital meters falls well below the maximum recommended in federal guidelines. Contrary to some misconceptions, the new meters transmit radio frequencies (RF) infrequently, only when responding to a request for data from EMEPA office, or periodically when reporting readings or quality of service events, typically once every four hours for less than a second. When compared to other consumer devices enabled with radio transmitters such as your cell phone, cordless phones, baby monitors, wireless headphones or other blue tooth devices, which are constantly sending and retrieving data, the new meters send and receive data at an RF density hundreds of times less than devices you use every day– and the meters are installed on the outside of your house not next to your ear!
How will new technology improve our energy future?
Advanced meters enable new applications by providing homes and businesses new ways to save energy and money. It has been consistently proven that being able to see your daily usage can reduce your energy consumption by 3 to 5 percent, simply by making you aware of how fast your power bill is growing, well before it is due.
Another application enables alternative rates like time-of-use, for those who choose to take advantage of them. Some members may be willing to change their habits or use smart appliances with timers so they don’t operate when power is in high demand, like a hot summer afternoon. With time-of-use rates, saving money can be as simple as running appliances like dishwashers, water heaters and clothes dryers later in the evening or mid-morning.
Why are we changing to the advanced meters?
The meter upgrade provides EMEPA members with numerous benefits. The new meters will help us:
- Save money by eliminating the labor and transportation costs of in-person meter reading– a savings we pass on to our members
- Improve billing accuracy, minimizing misreads or inaccurate readings
- Pinpoint the exact location of outages more quickly, meaning a faster | [

The considerations and standards guiding pipeline design insures stability and integrity in the industry. The fluid flow equations and formulas presented thus far enable the engineer to initiate the design of a piping or pipeline system, where the pressure drop available governs the selection of pipe size. This is discussed below in the section on velocity considerations for pipelines. Once the inner diameter (ID) of the piping segment has been determined, the pipe wall thickness must be calculated. If there are no codes or standards that specifically apply to the oil and gas production facilities, the design engineer may select one of the industry codes or standards as the basis of design. The design and operation of gathering, transmission, and distribution pipeline systems are usually governed by codes, standards, and regulations. The design engineer must verify whether the particular country in which the project is located has regulations, codes, and standards that apply to facilities and/or pipelines. In the U.S, piping on offshore facilities is mandated by regulation to be done in accordance with ANSI/ASME Standard B31.3. Most onshore facilities are designed in accordance with ANSI/ASME Standard B31.4 or B31.8, depending on whether it is an oil or gas facility. Some companies use the more stringent ANSI/ASME Standard B31.3 for onshore facilities.
Ordinary carbon steel is by far the most important alloy in the oil and gas industry because it accounts for more than 98% of the construction materials used in produced-water systems. As a general rule, every attempt should be made to use steel, such as modifying the process with corrosion inhibitors in the fluid or coating the steel. Proper material selection is critical for long operation life and minimal maintenance. A small increase in capital expenditure for an optimum material selection can greatly reduce the mean time to maintenance or failure, thus greatly saving on operating expenses. Ordinary carbon steel is by far the most important alloy in the oil and gas industry because it accounts for more than 98% of the construction materials used in produced-water systems.
Chemicals play an important role in the oil producing operation. They assist oil/water/gas separation, aid in fluid transport, protect treating equipment, and improve the quality of the gas, oil, and water. A wide range of chemicals is available for water treating. A chemical-injection package enables various types of chemicals to be dosed into the water stream to optimize the treatment process. Storage-tank capacity is designed to allow the plant to run for several days between refills. General dosing rates and injection points for the main chemical classes are listed in Table 1. These rates provide guidelines for sizing injection pumps and chemical-storage tanks.
Natural gas is a mixture of many compounds, with methane (CH4) being the main hydrocarbon constituent. When natural gas is produced from an underground reservoir, it is saturated with water vapor and might contain heavy hydrocarbon compounds as well as nonhydrocarbon impurities. In the raw state, natural gas cannot be marketed and therefore must be processed to meet certain specifications for sales gas. Additionally, it might be economical to extract liquefiable hydrocarbon components, which would have a higher market value on extraction as compared with their heating value if left in the gas. Gas treating facilities, therefore, must be designed to convert a particular raw gas mixture into a sales gas that meets the sales-gas specifications, and such facilities must operate without interruption.
Corrosion of metal in the presence of water is a common problem across many industries. The fact that most oil and gas production includes co-produced water makes corrosion a pervasive issue across the industry. Age and presence of corrosive materials such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) exacerbate the problem. Corrosion control in oil and gas production is reviewed in depth in Treseder and Tuttle, Brondel, et al., and NACE, from which some of the following material is abstracted. Iron is inherently (thermodynamically) sufficiently active to react spontaneously with water (corrosion), generating soluble iron ions and hydrogen gas. The utility of iron alloys depends on minimizing the corrosion rate. Corrosion of steel is an "electrochemical process," involving the transfer of electrons from iron atoms in the metal to hydrogen ions or oxygen in water. This separation of the overall corrosion process into two reactions is not an electrochemical nuance; these processes generally do take place at separate locations on the same piece of metal. This separation requires the presence of a medium to complete the electrical circuit between anode (site of iron dissolution) and cathode (site for corrodant reduction). Electrons travel in the metal phase, but the ions involved in the corrosion process cannot. Ions require the presence of water; hence, corrosion requires the presence of water.
Oil and gas wells produce a mixture of hydrocarbon gas, condensate or oil; water with dissolved minerals, usually including a large amount of salt | [

When Tori was healthy, there was no doubt that she loved me. She would smile and talk to me, her eyes would light up when she saw me, and I knew that was her way of telling me how she felt.
Since January, the only way I can tell she loves me is by how she immediately calms down when l pick her up. Even the Early Intervention ladies took note of that.
But I miss the smiles and coos, the laughter.
So tonight, when she put her hand on my arm after she was startled and upset (which happens often now), it meant so much. Even as I type there are tears steaming down my face. I had Brennan come take a picture of the moment so that I could always remember it.
It could have been a complete coincidence, but I am choosing to believe that it was intentional.
It is so hard on this mama’s heart to watch my baby be in pain and to see her fading away. She is a mere shell of who she used to be and I miss her personality so very much. To not see her expressions of love anymore has broken my heart over and over.
Unless God intervenes, I will never hear her say “mama” or see her smile again. I will never get to hear her say she loves me. I try not to dwell on those thoughts but they creep in from time to time.
I know she trusts me and needs me even though she can’t show me in the same ways anymore. I know that.
What I am learning is that she is trying to show me – I just have learn her language. | [

The current buyer’s market has many real estate investors scrambling to pick up hot properties before prices rise and opportunities for profits fall. For investors who are eager to buy real estate, nothing is more important than financing. After all, even the most amazing properties fall by the wayside if no one can afford to buy them. While financing can be hard to come by in today’s economic climate, aspiring real estate investors shouldn’t despair. Hard money loans, also known as private money loans, provide viable options for investors who want to buy income-producing properties.
Understanding Hard Money Loan Options
Many first-time real estate investors are eager to jump into the market but are unsure of which financing products will best meet their needs. If you’re considering buying an investment property, it’s important to understand that conventional loans offered by banks and other traditional lending institutions are generally not suitable for investors. This is simply because banks use stringent guidelines regarding both borrowers and properties when qualifying loans. Even highly qualified investors may be turned down by banks.
When conventional financing fails, many investors turn to hard money loans. So called because they are financed by private lenders who are willing to put up cash for investors, these types of loans are ideal for a wide variety of purchase types. Unlike conventional loans, hard money loans can be used to purchase distressed properties and other properties considered risky by traditional banks.
Hard money loans are also ideal for many investors because most private lenders consider borrower equity of greater importance than borrower credit scores. This means that borrowers who have less-than-ideal credit scores or who have been through bankruptcy and foreclosure may be able to qualify for private financing. Borrowers who already own multiple properties can also be helped with hard money loans as lenders are generally willing to consider investors who already hold multi-property portfolios.
Several different types of hard money loans are available to borrowers:
- Fix-and-flip loans for the purchase and rehab of distressed properties.
- Bridge loans to help business owners cover financial gaps.
- Commercial loans for the purchase of distressed commercial properties.
Can I Qualify for a Hard Money Loan?
Applying for hard money financing isn’t difficult. However, it’s important that you take some time to learn how the process works so that applying for a loan is a breeze. In order to apply for a hard money loan, you’ll need detailed information about your own financial holdings, or equity. You should also have information about your current monthly earnings on hand.
In addition to being prepared to talk about your own financial standing, you’ll also need to be able to talk to your lender about the property you want to buy. Take time to create a detailed plan for how you’ll use a property to generate income. If you want to apply for a fix-and-flip loan, it’s important that you have solid information about how much necessary renovations will cost. The more you know about the property you want to buy and how you’ll use it, the better.
Of course, you should also work with a trusted private lender. At Socotra Capital, we’re proud to be the premier hard money lender for California investors. | [

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides
Stars: Johnny Depp, Penélope Cruz, Ian McShane, Geoffrey Rush, Gemma Ward. Rated: TBA
Say ‘ahoy’ to the fourth swashbuckling instalment of Pirates of the Caribbean. Both Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley are out of the picture, but main man Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) is back in all his black-eyed glory. Making up for lost time is the beautiful Angelica (Penélope Cruz), a woman from Jack’s past who tickles his fancy but ruffles his feathers at the same time. Is her love real, or is she a ruthless con artist who’s using him so she can find the fabled Fountain of Youth?
To make things more complicated, Angelica is the daughter of the fearsome Blackbeard (Ian McShane) and forces the lovelorn buccaneer aboard her father’s boat, the Queen Anne’s Revenge – but that’s when the adventure really begins. The 3D escapade has all the dramatic sword fights and action scenes we know and love, and throws in some new foes – including zombies and a gang of unfriendly mermaids led by a familiar face, Aussie model-turned-actress Gemma Ward, who plays Tamara, Queen of the Mermaids. | [

Nick Stahl Emails Friends, Says He's Going to Rehab
Nick Stahl's location is still unknown, but he seems to be OK.
The actor reached out to friends via email Friday, according to TMZ. He will be entering a treatment program and will be out of contact for the next 30 days.
The star's wife, Rose, filed a missing person's report with the L.A.P.D. Monday; she last saw him on May 9. In February, Rose had filed court papers expressing concern about Nick's suspected drug use.
According to TMZ, Nick was recently seen in the gritty Skid Row area of downtown L.A. and "may have gotten himself involved in some bad stuff."
In addition to his role as John Connor in 2003's "Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines," Stahl, 33, has appeared in movies and TV shows including "Disturbing Behavior," "Sin City," "Mirrors 2" and "House of Lies."

I am a professional photographer and master craftsman now living in Rogersville, Tennessee. Although mainly a landscape and wildlife photographer, I have also spent almost ten years photographing around 300 concerts.
My interests in recent years have transcended travel and adventure photography. From hiking and climbing mountains to venturing through some of the most incredible landscapes, I have enjoyed capturing and presenting images of places that many people will never see or see. may never know.
My “photographic adventures” so far include my many trips to the highest peaks of Colorado, the glaciers of Iceland and the mountains of Ecuador and its coveted Galapagos Islands.
In mid-October 2019, I took my adventurous spirit to Tanzania, Africa for a successful 6-day trek to summit Mount Kilimanjaro. After which I spent 4 days on safari photographing in Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater.
I have many award-winning photographs from various places, my photographs have also appeared in newspapers such as the NJ Herald, Star Ledger and NY Daily News, and Journal magazine as well as architecture and sports magazines, calendars and websites. advertising on the site.
My greatest achievement has been having a collection of my photographs selected for a permanent gallery at Bon Secours Medical Center, Port Jervis, NY.
The Rogersville Local Artist Gallery is located at 124 E. Main Street in downtown Rogersville. Each month a new “Artist of the Month” is featured and that artist’s work is displayed at the front of the store. | [

TravelPod Member ReviewsBarcelo Raval Barcelona
We stayed in the barcelo for two night after deciding to stay in Barcelona a few extra nights. This hotel is lovely as far as hotels go, modern, quirky somehow very Barcelona.
The rooms were functional, although I wasn't overly fond of the pink lighting, it didn't bother me that much for a short stay. The rooftop with it's infinity pool is stunning and boast some of the best views over Raval and Barcelona.
The plaza Raval is in front of the hotel, which is a lovely place to eat on a hot evening, alongside more locals than tourists, which makes for a nice change as tourists are everywhere in Barcelona.
We enjoyed staying at this hotel for the 2 nights we were there, but I wouldn't want to stay much longer as I am sure it would become very small quickly. A great stop over hotel with an affordable price tag!

Brant Gardner’s “Labor Dilgently to Write: The Ancient Making of a Modern Scripture,” serialized in the Interpreter Journal in eight-to-nine parts, builds on his prolific portfolio of studies on the Book of Mormon by asking some very specific questions “about a very specific aspect of two different men.” Gardner poses his main question this way:
Nephi conceived writing Nephite history. Mormon conceived turning that history into a message to a future generation. Each wrote with purpose and elaborated that purpose by recounting stories. Knowing that each man used a chronology of events as the backbone structuring his intent, how did they select and then write the stories so Nephite history served their larger intent?
At first, I thought this might mean a “literary” approach, following what Grant Hardy has done. While there are literary aspects of this project, it resembles more a “source criticism” approach, trying to do for the Book of Mormon what source criticism has done for the Bible–identify the strands of thought and sources that make up each Biblical book. But of course, the comparison isn’t quite fair: unlike the authors and redactors of the Hebrew Bible, we know so much more about the Book of Mormon’s abridgment, because Nephi and Mormon both allude quite often to what they are doing. Both men leave explicit notes and implicit clues about how they built their book from their life experience and their life work. And both are very pointed about how they hope their work will be read.
The way Gardner approaches this is by dividing the book into two parts: first, he looks closely at the writers themselves. “What do we know about them? How did they learn to do what they did? What sources did they use, and what techniques did they employ to further their messages?” In the second part, he begins to interrogate the writers’ handiwork: “What drove the creation of specific chapters? What message was intended by the stories selected and the way they were told?”
Several things stuck out to me. Gardner is very attuned to detecting structure in the text: for every “and it came to pass,” “now,” and “behold,” he’s detected patterns that show how Nephi and Mormon use these terms in purposeful way. Additionally, I’ve always wondered about the original chapter breaks–which seem to have been designed by Nephi and Mormon. But they have never made sense. Gardner uncovers fascinating rules behind these, such as the “testificatory amen.” (Any “amen” exerts a nearly omniconsistent force in ending the old chapter and beginning a new one.) There are exceptions, and Gardner offers hypotheses for each.
He also notes–and I found this utterly fascinating–when Nephi and Mormon seem “triggered” by something. No, not in that way–what he means is that they’ll write something which will remind them of something else: something they promised to write earlier, or need to say now. So they’ll deviate into an aside or editorial, before returning to the planned episode or main narrative. There’s a detectable thrill in tracing the possible thought-lines of these two great authors, and trying to imagine them engraving each word and sentence.
There are so many other observations: repetetive resumption; sermons as chapter boundaries; the Mayan hotun, and its possible connection with Mormon’s calendrical system. There are new insights on every page. For me, the second half of the book–where Gardner walks through each original chapter division of the Book of Mormon–will be a constantly-consulted resource going forward. It is a fascinating, novel approach: I don’t think anyone has so systematically analyzed the subjective and objective experience of how Mormon and Nephi received their scribal training, drew from records and experience, made and engraved the plates, and set out to divide their records into chapters and episodes. It’s an incredible read. I can’t wait to revisit it.
(My one complaint: because the Interpreter Journal split this serialized book into five parts, and because Kindle titles are so long and almost exactly the same, and the specific chapters are at the very end of the title, I had SUCH a hard time finding the right book on my Kindle Paperwhite. Which was VERY frustrating. I look forward to seeing this as a single volume, though I’m not looking forward to having to re-annotate the entire thing–since my notes won’t transfer over. I’ll do it; it’s just annoying.)
[UPDATE: Brant Gardner assures me a single-volume edition is coming! I’m most looking forward to it.] | [

MPI is asking travellers from Fiji to stop bringing "miracle water" into New Zealand if they want to avoid a stiff fine or treatment costs
A dirty vessel ordered to leave Tauranga in the weekend will have to be thoroughly cleaned before it can re-enter New Zealand waters.
This summer, MPI has intercepted risk goods ranging from the bizarre to the potentially devastating for New Zealand’s economy and environment.
A Pahiatua insect expert has paid a hefty price for possessing illegally obtained exotic moth eggs, hatching them and redistributing eggs to three other people around the country.
Construction of the country’s new high-level biocontainment laboratory in Wallaceville is proceeding at pace with the foundations, some of the steel framework and the vital earthquake protection now in place.
MPI has named its first litter of a super breed of biosecurity detector puppies.
New Zealand has taken its fight against marine pests up a step, formally joining an international agreement on the management of ships' ballast water.
A Canadian air passenger who tried to sneak her cat into Auckland was refused entry into New Zealand yesterday, says the Ministry for Primary Industries.
A new biosecurity lane at Auckland Airport will allow speedier clearance of passengers, helping MPI manage the huge number of travellers expected to arrive in New Zealand this summer.
The Ministry for Primary Industries hopes a new breed of detector dog will produce its best biosecurity sniffers ever. | [

A number of countries are taking a very close interest in the potential of Blockchain technology. It could help data sharing and protection, provide citizens with a digital identity and even, in the longer term, host the administration of a range of public services.
In March the United States Congress submitted a report pointing out just how useful Blockchain technology could be for local authorities. “Government agencies at all levels should consider and examine new uses for this technology that could make the government more efficient in performing its functions”, says the report, underlining: “Blockchain technology has the potential to help the economy function more efficiently and securely.” This transparent, secure and decentralized ledger system provides an excellent means of storing information and guaranteeing the integrity of transactions between several parties. This also makes it potentially very attractive for local authorities. Among their main roles is the need to inspire confidence in ordinary people who come under their administrative responsibility. While virtual currencies, especially Bitcoin, which use the Blockchain, are often regarded with suspicion by the authorities – China has even banned InitialCoin Offerings (ICOs) as a means of raising funds in virtual currencies – but the potential of the Blockchain approach, i.e. the architecture underpinning those ‘cryptocurrencies’, goes far beyond this current use and is generating a great deal of enthusiasm.
The US Federal Government has implemented a number of pilot tests, with the public health sector, the transportation sector and the army. Several US state administrations, including Colorado, Illinois and Delaware, are also taking an interest in the technology. Meanwhile, the government of India is studying how to use Blockchain technology in education, health and agriculture and Dubai has set up a special Council to look into its potential in various fields including health, ownership title, local public services and import/export arrangements. China, the Netherlands, Singapore and Canada are all also studying how they might use Blockchain technology to help achieve a variety of national goals and objectives.
Updating public institutions
Protecting personal data
Franco Amalfi, Head of Innovation, North America at Oracle Public Sector, believes that one of the most promising uses of the Blockchain for governments is in data protection. Countries hold a lot of sensitive information on their citizens, which is regularly targeted by cyber-attacks. In 2015, attackers hacked into the United States Office of Personnel Management, the US federal government agency that manages the government’s civilian workforce. They got hold of fingerprints, social security numbers and the CVs of twenty million Americans.
The Blockchain has the dual advantage of being very difficult to hack and being highly encrypted. As a decentralized database, it has no central vulnerable point. Given that the data is stored throughout all the points in the network, you would have to hack more than half the participants at exactly the same moment in order to compromise the integrity of the database. Moreover, while the Blockchain is a public ledger, it is also encrypted. A person’s private information is unreadable unless you have the cryptographic key, which only the person concerned has. Hackers who manage to get into the system would find themselves with unusable data. These two factors make the Blockchain an ideal tool for storing citizens’ confidential data.
opening up public data
Promoting open public data
The Blockchain could also serve to open up public data, which would both raise citizens’ trust in government and help build a wide variety of those digital applications that we increasingly depend on in our daily lives. Every time you look at the weather forecast on the Internet, or use your GPS, you are in fact using data supplied by the government. The goal of ‘open data’ is still far from being fully achieved, however, as shown by the recent move by the Trump administration to delete a slew of data from the White House website, notably information on the government budget and details of White House staff salaries, all information that was made public by the Obama administration.
Useful for patent or copyright claims, the Blockchain could also ensure that a government agency or company verifiably published its data. | [

The World Bank has approved a new $ 600 million loan that aims to support the Philippines’ economic recovery from the coronavirus pandemic.
In a statement, the Washington-based multilateral institution said it had approved funding for the government’s reform program to position the country for a more competitive and resilient economic recovery. The sub-program’s Development Policy Support Loan supports ongoing government reforms, including amendments to the Retail Trade Liberalization Law.
The new law aims to promote private investment, reduce the cost of doing business and expand broadband services to promote investment in information and communications technology.
Ndiamé Diop, World Bank Country Director for the Philippines, said these reforms are critical to removing immediate and long-term obstacles to growth, paving the way for an inclusive recovery.
“Reforms that promote competition in broadband and mobile telecommunications will benefit a large portion of underserved populations by increasing coverage and quality of service, increasing their access to markets, as well as education and health services. remote health, ”said Diop.
Access to the internet has been critical during the pandemic as those employed have turned to working from home and school-aged children have relied on distance learning.
Likewise, reforms that lower trade costs and improve the business environment should benefit all businesses, but especially small and medium-sized businesses, which will have access to a larger market for their products and services, ”he said. added Diop.
The Philippines lags behind its counterparts in the East Asia and Pacific region in terms of inflows of foreign direct investment, including in its retail sector.
Reforms in the retail sector should promote investment by leveling the playing field between domestic and foreign operators, thereby creating jobs, expanding consumer choices and increasing the influx of new technologies.
This new loan is a Development Policy Loan (DPL) that provides rapid disbursement assistance to countries undertaking reforms.
DPLs generally support the political and institutional changes necessary to create an enabling environment for sustained and equitable growth, as defined by the borrowing countries’ own development agenda.
Support for increasing the resilience of communities through better digital infrastructure is also part of this new loan program.
“The government introduced the Philippine Identification System or PhilSys as a digital identification platform to foster the digital economy and increase access to public services,” said Rong Qian, Senior Economist at the World Bank.
“This should increase access and improve the delivery of public services by providing Filipinos with a unique and verifiable digital identity,” Qian added.
Filipinos can use this basic identifier for key public and private transactions, including opening bank accounts, identifying and verifying welfare recipients, and paying pensions by 2022, added. Qian.

Children and adolescents hospitalized for the treatment of physical illness often have feelings of sadness, frustration, or irritability that represent a normal response to their experience. Common factors impacting a child’s ability to cope include disruption of routine, separation from family and peers, uncertainty regarding diagnosis and prognosis, pain related to the illness or its treatment, and fear of the illness or its sequelae. When the sadness becomes pervasive and is associated with cognitive or physiologic symptoms, however, a depressive disorder must be considered. It is incumbent on the hospitalist to distinguish normal feelings of sadness from a depressive disorder and to implement treatment when necessary.
Chronically ill children are at increased risk for developing depressive, anxiety, and eating disorders.1-5 Clinical depression has been reported to increase the risk of poor physical health in the future6 and has been associated with poor adherence to treatment regimens,7 reduced immune function,8 increased disease severity, and death due to nonadherence.9 Emerging data suggest that depression in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is associated with declining CD4 counts, accelerated disease progression, and increased mortality.10 In addition, suicidal ideation and suicide attempts are tragic consequences of depression that increases with the onset of puberty.11 Depressive disorders cause significant suffering on the part of the child and family and are generally highly treatable once they are recognized. The purpose of this chapter is to provide the pediatric hospitalist with a framework for understanding the diagnosis and treatment of depressive disorders in children and adolescents with physical illness.
While multiple theories exist regarding the pathophysiology of depression (Table 135-1), conclusive evidence of its etiology is still uncertain. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM) bases the diagnosis of depression on a cluster of symptoms. As the DSM is atheoretical by design, it is important to note that patients who may look similar phenotypically for depression may indeed have different etiological mechanisms for their depression. As such, simply making a diagnosis of depression does not indicate the pathophysiological mechanism or the optimal treatment regimen.
TABLE 135-1 Pathophysiological Hypotheses of Depression12 ||Download (.pdf) TABLE 135-1 Pathophysiological Hypotheses of Depression12
|Mechanism ||Comments |
|Genetic vulnerability ||Based upon evidence from twin studies |
|Altered HPA axis activity ||Based upon effects of stress as a risk factor |
|Monoamine deficiency ||Based upon mechanism of action of medication treatments |
|Brain region dysfunction ||Based upon stimulation of specific brain regions reproducing antidepressant effects |
|Neurotoxic and neurotrophic processes ||Based upon concept of “kindling” and brain volume loss over course of depressive illness |
|Reduced GABAergic activity ||Based upon evidence from magnetic resonance spectroscopy and postmortem studies |
|Glutamate dysregulation ||Based upon mechanism of action of medication treatments |
|Circadian rhythm impairment ||Based upon circadian rhythm changes having antidepressant effects |
Additional factors further complicate the diagnosis of depression. First, the term depression is ambiguous and has many connotations. It may be used to describe a transient mood state or one of several clinical syndromes of varying severity. Second, because symptoms of depressive disorders are subject to developmental variation, they may present differently depending on the child’s stage of development.11 Third, because medical and nursing staff often view depression as a normal and understandable response to a chronic, terminal, or disfiguring illness, psychiatric evaluation and treatment may not be pursued.12 Fourth, patients and families may be resistant to exploring the possibility of a depressive disorder because of the perceived stigma of a psychiatric diagnosis. Last, the diagnosis of depression is made on the basis of a constellation of psychological and somatic symptoms. As somatic symptoms are commonly seen in physical illness, it is often difficult to determine whether the symptoms are related to the physical illness or to a depressive disorder.
The symptoms of depressive disorders can be divided into two general realms: psychological and somatic. Psychological symptoms include dysphoric mood, anhedonia (loss of interest in usual, pleasurable activities), feelings of helplessness or hopelessness, feelings of guilt or worthlessness, loss of self-esteem, decreased ability to concentrate, and thoughts of suicide. Somatic symptoms of depression include fatigue, sleep disturbance (insomnia or hypersomnia), appetite changes (decrease or increase), and motor restlessness or retardation (see Chapter 137 for a discussion of somatic symptom and related disorders). The hospitalist should focus on the psychological symptoms because of the frequent overlap between somatic symptoms of depression and symptoms of the physical illness.
The presentation of depression depends on the child’s stage of development, and depression in children may manifest differently from depression in adolescents. Signs of depression in children (or in older children with developmental delay) may include feelings of sadness, a depressed appearance, somatic complaints (most commonly stomachaches and headaches), separation anxiety, low self-esteem, social withdrawal, academic decline, sleep or appetite disturbances, decreased concentration, and suicidal | [

RTX, an aerospace and defence company based in El Segundo, California, has been awarded an exclusive $175m contract to provide overhaul and repair services for the B-2 Advanced High-Frequency Radar Components.
The contract aims to bolster the radar capabilities of the B-2 bomber fleet, a key factor in maintaining the operational readiness and effectiveness of the fleet.
RTX has been selected by the Air Force Sustainment Center at Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma, as the contractor for the B-2 Advanced High-Frequency Radar Components and end items.
The B-2 Advanced High-Frequency Radar is a system responsible for detecting and tracking targets over long distances, providing the Air Force with situational awareness and the ability to operate in challenging and contested environments.
Despite the overhaul and repair contract for the bomber fleet, the US Air Force is in the process of replacing the B-2 bomber. According to GlobalData’s “US Defense Market 2022-2027” report, the USAF is acquiring a new long-range strike bomber capable of carrying conventional and nuclear weapons. Northrop Grumman is developing the B-21 to replace the ageing B-1 and B-2 bombers.
With the contract’s execution, RTX will ensure the radar’s optimal performance, enhancing the Air Force’s strategic capabilities.
The contract’s timeline extends to 31 July 2033, during which RTX’s engineers and technicians will work in their El Segundo, California, facility to perform the overhauls and repairs.
RTX’s experience developing and maintaining radar systems for the B-2 bomber positions the company as an ideal partner for this undertaking. The B-2 Advanced High-Frequency Radar Components contract ensures the safety and success of the men and women serving in the US military.
With the B-2 bomber playing a role in the nation’s defence posture, the execution of this contract will be vital in bolstering the Air Force’s capabilities. In 2016, The United States deployed three B-2 stealth bombers to Guam amid tensions with North Korea. | [

A Columnist’s Personal Experience of Infidelity
‘Amy Fabulous’ is a columnist who wrote this article about the pain of infidelity in her own life:
This time last year, I was in Paris with the man I thought I’d spend the rest of my life with. I trusted my partner and loved him with every ounce of my heart and soul. He was “the one,” or so I thought.
That is, until a week after our trip, when a boy’s night out turned into him making a series of poor and destructive decisions that would ultimately break everything we had into pieces — including my heart. He cheated on me and, upon coming home at 4 a.m., lied to me and blamed me for being paranoid. What happened in the next 48 hours after was a blur of lies and a painful, slow discovery that the person I admired and adored was not the person I thought I knew.
I have purposely not written about what happened in my breakup because I felt I needed some time to heal and process the situation before publishing, and because I didn’t want my story to come from a place of spite or revenge. Also, it has taken me a lot of courage to share this very personal experience with you, because I felt a lot of shame around what happened. As much as I can say I’m a confident and strong woman, you can bet that I doubted my own self-worth and asked myself what was so wrong with me for the man who supposedly loved me to throw it all away for an hour with someone who “meant nothing” to him. I was embarrassed, hurt and my self-esteem was damaged.
I believe that everyone makes mistakes [Comment: I wouldn't personally characterize cheating as a'mistake' ~ Wayfarer], and often it is not the mistakes that defines a person’s character, but what they do afterward. I hoped in my heart that he would redeem himself, be accountable for his actions and work for my forgiveness. I hung on to faith that he would step up to be the man I thought he was. But he didn’t. And maybe that’s the most disappointing part of it all.
During this time, I reached out to him for help. In his own pain, he did not know how to handle me. So instead of responding with compassion and care, he ignored me. I watched the man that I loved, that I shared deep secrets and sacred moments with, in a blink of an eye treat me like I was nothing. It was as if one day I was the world to him and the next moment I was irrelevant.
Regardless of the support from friends and family during such a time, I felt terribly alone. To have your trust breached and your heart so wounded feels like there is a dark cloud of misery that follows you everywhere you go. It’s with you no matter how you try to distract yourself. Even in sleep you cannot escape, as pain haunts you in the form of nightmares. You feel trapped, because there is nothing you can say or do to make it go away.
In the process of dealing with the pain, I dehumanized him. I lost compassion and forgot that his actions came from a very unhealthy place of disconnection. I realize now that I must take accountability for the fact that I attracted him into my life in the first place. After all, you attract people of a similar health level.
Old Wounds Resurfacing
A year later, I still have moments where sadness and anger creep up on me and I break down in tears. These tears go way beyond my experience of betrayal — they stem down to the little girl inside, whose deepest insecurity is not being good enough. That little girl who never seemed to be able to get love and approval from her father comes out and wonders if she will ever be worthy of love from a man.
I’ve given myself permission to be vulnerable and have allowed myself to process the plethora of emotions and old wounds that were triggered from the event. There’s been some deep childhood stuff that surfaced after being suppressed for over two decades, and ripping off the Band-Aid has forced me to work through them.
There are ups and downs, and I am proud to say that there are a lot more ups than there are downs, now. And slowly, the hope that real, authentic love does exist is starting to return.
Learning From the Experience
When you feel pain and suffering, it’s hard to see the light or how the experience fits into the bigger picture of things. Hitting such a low was not an easy feat; however, I feel as if it helped me mature. In the last year, I’ve become very clear on my values and have been attracting new opportunities and people that are aligned with those values.
I remember some of the darkest moments I faced after I found out he cheated on me. I felt like I was completely broken | [

According to three sources with knowledge of early findings from a recent experiment, U.S. government scientists have achieved a net energy gain in a cold fusion reaction.
If verified, it would be the first time in history, and show that cold fusion might hold the key for really reaching clean energy goals.
In a story by the Financial Times, picked up by Yahoo News and others, said that according to the sources, the government Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California had accomplished the net energy gain using an inertial confinement fusion technique, which involves targeting a tiny pellet of hydrogen plasma with the largest laser in the world.
The experiment uses technology that is obviously not practical for creating energy in commercial and industrial environments at present.
But the experiment could mark a major step toward harnessing fusion energy down the road.
The technology’s potential is undeniable. As Yahoo News noted, a modest cup of hydrogen fuel could hypothetically power a house for hundreds of years while producing no carbon emissions or persistent radioactive waste from fusion reactions.
The sources with knowledge of the results claimed that the fusion reaction at the US government facility produced about 2.5 megajoules of energy, which was roughly 120 percent of the 2.1 megajoules of energy in the lasers. They added that the data was still being examined.
Green energy advocates have pervasively overstated claims of technologies like wind and solar. They require intensive processes and have attributes that aren’t environmentally friendly. They are much better suited to some applications than others, and there is little chance that they could supply energy at the levels needed to supplant fossil fuels.
Visual Capitalist argues that practicable fusion energy could be key in augmenting and eventually superseding current so-called green energy technologies, as well as fossil fuels. For more on the U.S. fusion energy breakthrough story, see here. | [

Advanced medical devices have increasingly become connected to hospital networks and the internet. While these high-tech devices come with many benefits and have greatly improved healthcare, they also come with cybersecurity risks.
There are a few main types of medical devices that are widely used. The first is a stationary medical device such as an x-ray or mammography device, CT, MRI, or an ultrasound. These are devices that transmit images wirelessly to doctors and aid in making a diagnosis. The images can be stored on web-based services where patients and doctors can access them with ease.
The second type of medical device is an implanted medical device, such as a pacemaker, biosensor, or defibrillator. As the name would suggest, these remain in the body and can constantly monitor patients or aid in natural human processes. Usually, these devices are connected to the Internet using Wi-Fi so critical data can be sent directly to clinicians.
The last category of medical devices are wearable external medical devices, such as insulin pumps and skin patches. Smartwatches that monitor heart rate and fitness also fall into this category, although they are not critical in maintaining health. These external devices often use wireless connection to a remote controller to make them easy to use. For example, certain types of insulin pumps are controlled by another device to programmatically deliver insulin to improve blood sugar levels.
Medical technology is incredibly important and helps with the speed and accuracy of diagnoses, remote clinical monitoring, and even chronic disease and medication management. Technology can help replace staff shortages, as a device can provide 24/7 health monitoring if necessary. However, connected medical devices come with risks. Each of the three categories of devices are in some way connected to the internet or use wireless connection. Devices that are paired with phones, home Wi-fi, or the internet, can be hacked by a remote user who could potentially take control of the device and change its function. If clinicians can access patient data wirelessly through these devices, malicious hackers can as well.
Increasingly, medical device manufacturers and healthcare organizations are working together to ensure the safety of their devices. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) provides manufacturers with suggestions on how to manage issues with cybersecurity, as safety begins when the devices are created. It is essential that manufacturers balance device efficacy with cybersecurity requirements, as medical technology attacks could be life-threatening. Hospitals and healthcare providers also assist in providing security by evaluating systems and responding accordingly if security vulnerabilities are discovered.
Cybersecurity is necessary in almost every industry today, with medical technology being just one example. Protecting digital data and systems is essential for staying safe and where medical technology is concerned, it just might save a life. | [

Canada Young Population
Nunavut had the largest difference between its old and young populations 32 5 per.
Canada young population. In the year ended in july the population of people 65 and older is now larger than the number of. Baby boomers currently the largest generation are rapidly reaching retirement age. Demographics of canada 2019 as of 1 january 2020 the population of canada was estimated to be 37 577 502 people.
In 2020 there were about 5 25 million males and 5 15 million females between the ages of 25 and 44 living in canada which was the most out of any age group. Canada is experiencing a demographic shift. The youth dependency ratio relates the number of young persons that are likely to be dependent on the.
Low income rates are highest among children and young people. Sees largest net transfer of population in 42 years. Medium growth population projections suggest that this proportion will fall to 18 by 2035.
By 2021 17 8 per cent of the total canadian population will be over. 15 of all children aged 5 and under were part of a low income family. In july 2018 15 29 year olds represented 19 2 of the country s population.
It s a move more and more young canadian couples have been considering. The share of the dependent population is calculated as total elderly and youth population expressed as a ratio of the total population. Canada met a milestone that demographers have seen coming for a long time.
Between 2008 and 2018 the number of youth aged 25 to 29 increased the most. The youth population is defined as those people aged less than15. This is an increase of 0 89 333 321 people compared to population of 37 244 181 the year before.

Gas-turbine engine, any internal-combustion engine employing a gas as the working fluid used to turn a turbine. The term also is conventionally used to describe a complete internal-combustion engine consisting of at least a compressor, a combustion chamber, and a turbine.
Useful work or propulsive thrust can be obtained from a gas-turbine engine. It may drive a generator, pump, or propeller or, in the case of a pure jet aircraft engine, develop thrust by accelerating the turbine exhaust flow through a nozzle.

People.com Entertainment Movies 'Harry Potter''s Evanna Lynch Gets 'a Little Bit Jealous' Over Filming for 'Fantastic Beasts' "I am so excited," says Harry Potter's Evanna Lynch about Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them By Jennifer Heyde Published on March 19, 2016 06:30 PM Share Tweet Pin Email Photo: Mark Sagliocco/Getty Like the rest of the world, Luna Lovegood “can’t wait” for the new Harry Potter film, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, to be released in November. Starring Eddie Redmayne as Newt Scamander, the Harry Potter prequel is set in the Wizarding World of New York in 1926. “I am so excited,” Lynch, 24, tells PEOPLE. “Those are my two favorite things: animals and Harry Potter.” And the actress is showing her support for animals this Sunday in the New York City Half Marathon, running to raise awareness for World Animal Protection. But as for Fantastic Beasts? “Eddie Redmayne is going to be fantastic! He’s definitely a wizard.” Though adds, “I do get a little bit jealous when I think of them filming right now. I miss it!” Well, as it turns out, Luna married Newt Scamander’s grandson, Rolf. So why not a flash forward to a scene with Luna? “I’m just waiting for the call!” laughs the actress. Adding that, “Fans have been concocting all these scenarios where Luna narrates the film. As if telling it to her children or grandchildren. “They didn’t go that direction,” she adds. | [

Hayden Panettiere is a Gun Girl
Hayden Panettiere is locked and loaded as she shoots (literally) a gun scene for her hit TV show, Heroes, in Los Angeles on Saturday.
Costar and real-life boyfriend Milo Ventimiglia was also on set filming scenes.
SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!! E! also revealed details about the scene Hayden was filming: “In the first three minutes [of the season premiere,] one of the lead heroes is going to bust a cap off at one of the other lead heroes. And oh yeah, the guy she pulls the trigger on just might be the guy she’s playing tonsil hockey with in real life. She also tells him (on cam), “I always loved you.” We’re gonna see Claire-bear with dark hair and this also involves a shift in time.”
Translation: Claire Bear shoots her uncle, Peter.

Vigilance can be contemplative, as when one keeps a vigil. Or vigilance can be stressful, as when one keeps watch for the least sign of trouble, afraid to blink.
In last week’s post, Terumah: Tree of Light, I explored how the Hebrew word shakad (שָׁקַד) has two different meanings: “it was like an almond”, and “he was vigilant”. In the Hebrew Bible, some words based on shakad describe how the menorah is made like parts of an almond tree.1 Others refer to God’s vigilant attention to the Israelites,2 human vigilant alertness for chances to do evil,3 a leopard watching vigilantly for someone to leave a town and become its prey,4 and people who stay awake and alert at night.5 One appearance of shakad that refers to staying alert at night is in Psalm 127:1.
This week I noticed that Psalm 127 as a whole is a meditation on the anxiety of vigilance and the serenity of acceptance.
Humans are easily gripped by anxiety. In simple situations, a bit of anxiety can be helpful, motivating a person to take action against a threat, or to create a more secure life. But continuous anxiety, like continuous suffering, damages both one’s physical health and one’s ability to make good decisions.
Psalm 127 begins with three different examples of how we cannot guarantee our own security, no matter how much we do. Knowing this makes humans anxious. How can we find serenity despite our insecurity? According to Psalm 127, the answer is God.
(A song of ascents for Solomon.)
Unless God builds a bayit
In vain do its builders labor.
Unless God watches over a city
In vain is the watchman shakad. (Psalm 127:1)
bayit (בַּיִת) = house, home, household; temple.
Psalm 127 is dedicated to King Solomon, who built the first Israelite temple in Jerusalem. He implication is that despite all the fine materials and the labor by both willing craftsmen and temporary slaves (corvée labor), the temple could not have become a home for God if God had not chosen to dwell there—or had not been welcomed into the hearts of the people.
The word bayit also means a physical house providing protection from the weather, wild beasts, and enemies; a home providing a place to rest in comfort and security; and a household or family providing mutual support.
A walled city also provided protection, security, and mutual support for its residents. Its watchmen served as guards to sound the alarm if they saw anything threatening. Today nation-states are supposed to fill the function of ancient cities, protecting their residents from external attack and internal crime, and providing systems for mutual aid and support.
The point of the first verse is that no matter how hard we work to achieve security, we cannot guarantee it. A house with locks and alarms and bars over the windows might still be smashed by a bomb or an earthquake; while setting the locks and alarms and seeing the bars help to keep the inhabitants in a state of useless anxiety. A nation with walls and guards on its borders, and X-ray machines in its airports, is still not safe from its own natives (especially when they are armed); while talking about “homeland security” generates more useless anxiety.
Real security comes not from anxious labor, but from a different state of mind, which this psalm attributes to God.
The next verse of Psalm 127 remains a puzzle for translators and commentators.
In vain you rise early
And stop to sit late,
Eating the bread of suffering;
Indeed [God] gives “his” beloved ones sheina. (Psalm 127:2)
sheina (שֵׁנָא) =? (The usual translation of sheina here is “sleep”, but the word is a hapax legomenon, i.e. it occurs only once in the entire bible. This translation is based on the word sheinah (שֵׁנָה) = sleep, which occurs 22 times. Perhaps sheina in Psalm 127 is merely a misspelling. On the other hand, sheina could be related to shena (שְׁנָא) = changed, altered.)
The psalm’s reference to eating “the bread of suffering” alludes to the story of the Garden of Eden. There God tells Adam:
“… accursed is the earth on account of you; in suffering you shall eat from it all the days of your life. Thorns and thistles it will sprout for you… By the sweat of your face you will eat bread …” (Genesis 3:17-19).

Hello, I'm just popping in to share a card that I've made using the super cute My Favourite Things "A mice time to celebrate" stamp set, which was designed by the very talented Stacey Yacula.
I featured the colours Grout Grey, Tickled Pink, Wild Wisteria and Steel Grey and I coloured the mice with matching Copic pens. The balloon shaker windows were made with the Heart Trio Shaker Window dies and co-ordinating pouches, which I backed with papers from the MFT Tiny Hearts Pastels paper pack. I used crochet thread to make the balloon strings and tied them to the mice paws with the help of a needle and a pokey tool so that I could thread them behind the bodies of the mice. I stamped the hats, gifts and the arm of the mouse on the right twice and layered them up with Pinflair glue gel for added dimension. The sentiments were heat embossed in white onto banners cut with the Stitched Fishtail Sentiment Strip dies and added to a plain banner using foam tape.
I'm entering this card in My Favourite Things "the birthday project challenge" which this month requires the inclusion of one or more birthday presents.
Thanks for stopping by! | [

Pillowcases are a good beginning sewing project. Once you figure out how easy they are, you'll never buy the boring plain pillowcases offered in home decor stores again!
This week, I'd like to introduce you to Big C, my niece. She's learning to sew this summer and will be joining us for our beginning projects.
*1 yard fabric, washed and dried
*thread - decide if you want it to match or contrast
Fabrics that work best for this are cottons, cotton blends, flannel, and fleece. There are many novelty type prints in these types of fabrics that make fun pillowcases. C thought about a cotton in her favorite cow pattern, but decided to go with Winnie the Pooh.
1. Make sure you wash and dry your fabric. I've had fabric not shrink at all and I've had it shrink quite a bit. If it's going to shrink, it's better to have it get smaller before you sew your project instead of after.
If your fabric is wrinkled, ironing it now will make sewing easier.
selvage - the woven edges of the fabric piece. There are cut edges (where the fabric store employee cut it for you) and the woven edges, or selvage. The photo below is different fabric, but shows the cut edges and the selvage well.
2. Trim fabric so that each of the cut ends is even. In a perfect world, the people at the fabric store would make sure the end they are measuring from is even. Not in this world! This means that the edges may not line up. One way to make sure a cut edge is even is to pull threads. Line your fabric up as well as you are able to, cut near the edge, and pull a thread out. Your goal is to pull the thread all the way across the fabric so you have a gap where the thread used to be showing you where to cut.
This takes awhile and only works on woven fabrics. A second way is to fold the fabric so the selvages meet (the fold should be on the opposite side from the selvages), smooth the fabric, and trim the ends. If you have a grid to lay the fabric along (such as a gridded cutting board or a tiled counter top), line your fabric up along a line.
3. Turn the fabric inside out (right sides together) so that corners and selvages meet. Pin. I'm a fan of pin basting. I rarely break a needle doing this (I try to get the pins out before they reach the needle). Old school, you would now get a needle and thread and sew by hand (basting), along the seams we are about to stitch.
4. At the sewing machine, line your fabric up along a 5/8 inch seam guideline, beginning at the folded edge. If your machine does not have a 5/8 inch seam guideline, you can draw one on by measuring 5/8 inch to the right from the needle and using a ruler to draw a line in pencil or permanent marker.
5. Sew the cut edge (this is the shorter side) of the pillowcase until you are about 5/8 of an inch away from the end of the fabric.
With your needle down in the fabric, lift your presser foot lever up, turn the material 90 degrees, and stitch the selvage edge seam.
6. Trim the seams to about 1/4 inch, cutting across the corner.
7. Turn the opening of the pillowcase under 1/4 inch and iron into place. If you are using fleece, skip this step. (Different fabric is used in the photo below)
8. Turn the opening under another 1 1/2 to 2 inches, depending on how wide you want your the hem around your pillowcase opening to be. Eyeball both and see which you like best. Iron into place.
9. Turn right side out. Find the sewing guide mark on your machine that puts your stitching about 1 7/8 inches from the edge. You will be sewing on the top of the pillowcase hem - make sure your stitching line is not on the other side of the 1/4 inch fold or you will be stitching where I'm pointing, not on the hem.
10. Stitch around the opening. Because you are sewing on the right side (or top) of the fabric, this is called topstitching.
You now have a pillowcase!
It's great as it is, but if you want to add a little more decoration, tune in on Monday.
Next Wednesday we'll be sewing elastic waist pajama bottoms. Big C's using Simplicity pattern number 3935, however, there are several patterns by the different pattern companies that can be used. Just make sure they are loose, have an elastic waist, and no slits at the ankles. Fab | [

The American manufacturing industry represents a solid opportunity for American citizens to find jobs that can support a middle-class family. According to data from indeed.com, in 2019, the average annual salary for manufacturing engineers in the USA was $77,313—though many manufacturing engineers with specialist skills and qualifications can easily earn six figures.
However, American manufacturing companies struggle to find qualified applicants to fill engineering jobs. Part of the problem is that the public image of manufacturing work is still stuck in the industrial revolution. However, reforms in American manufacturing techniques and the oversight of organizations such as OSHA (the Occupational Safety and Health Administration) have greatly improved manufacturing safety in the last few decades.
The truth is that modern manufacturing jobs are among some of the safest jobs in the U.S. An article featured in AJC listed the top 25 most dangerous jobs in America—and manufacturing was not on the list. Instead, trades like fishing, logging, flight engineering, roofing, and refuse/recyclable collection topped the list.
To help raise awareness of safe manufacturing techniques, and to celebrate the company’s history of manufacturing safety, the Marlin team put together a list of safety tips for bending metal forms.
Manufacturing Safety Tip #1: Inspect Bending Machinery Regularly
Sheet metal press brakes and other metal forming machinery are incredibly complex and powerful. For example, some of Marlin’s metal bending equipment can exert more than 40 tons of force and have dies that are attached to equipment weighing several hundred pounds.
So, frequent inspections of metal bending equipment are a necessity for Marlin’s employees. Mechanical engineers routinely inspect metal bending machines before their activation and during the initial startup, carefully recording any issues and recording them in a repair log. This helps to keep Marlin’s press brakes and other equipment in tip-top shape so it can be safely used at maximum capacity.
Manufacturing Safety Tip #2: Make Sure New Engineers Fully Understand the Machine’s Operation
Marlin Steel invests heavily in employee training to ensure that everyone on the shop floor thoroughly understands how the machines they use work. In fact, many employees train on multiple machines so multiple people can operate the same device—or stop it in case of an emergency.
Even after going through online training in how to use a machine, Marlin’s manufacturing engineers are often walked through the proper operating procedure for a metal bending machine before they use it for the first time. Having an experienced engineer walk new users through the use of a piece of heavy machinery helps increase safety by having someone who knows what is or isn’t normal for that equipment supervising.
Manufacturing Safety Tip #3: Leverage Computer-Controlled Automation
Many of Marlin’s metal-forming machines are partially or fully automated—requiring little or no human interference once they’re set up. This allows Marlin’s manufacturing engineers to assume a supervisory role where they can monitor the shaping of metal from a safe distance.
This removes the need for Marlin’s employees to blow out their shoulders, backs, or hands trying to manually shape inch-thick steel with crude handheld tools. Instead, the machine can handle the repetitive motion task. So, there are fewer cases of carpal tunnel and more completed custom wire baskets that meet incredibly tight parts tolerances.
Manufacturing Safety Tip #4: Always Wear Protective Clothing
Even when Marlin’s employees are simply supervising automated equipment rather than actively working with metal, they still wear appropriate safety gear for the process if they’re going to be in the same room as that process.
For many processes, this includes:
- Thick, protective clothing
- Work boots
Other specialized equipment may be required for specific metal forming processes. For example, laser cutting or arc welding processes may require polarized lenses and full face helmets to protect the wearer from stray sparks and flashes.
Manufacturing Safety Tip #5: Periodically Review Safe Manufacturing Practices with Employees
One of the things that Marlin Steel’s leadership does to help encourage employees to keep manufacturing safety top of mind is to empower employees to review safety standards and recommend changes.
There is a safety committee made of Marlin Steel employees who help to oversee the creation of new safety standards based on the observations and recommendations of other employees. Because these new rules are coming from peers who understand the challenges of their work, Marlin’s manufacturing engineers are more likely to listen to these new recommendations. Even better, experienced engineers on a committee like this are more likely to be able to recognize potential problems with a new safety standard that impact its practicality or enforceability.
Everyone at Marlin Steel is proud to be part of an extremely safe and rewarding workplace that value the health and wellbeing of its employees. If you have any questions about Marlin, please contact us. | [
