A recent court order asking Apple to assist in unlocking an iPhone belonging to San Bernardino shootings suspect has caused quite a stir. Through the court order, FBI has requested Apple to break into the iPhone by creating a backdoor in its iOS operating system. Apple CEO Tim Cook has opposed this order and wrote a public letter saying such demand from FBI could create a “dangerous precedent”.
Cook’s letter was followed by a list of frequently asked question through which Apple has clarified that they have done everything within their power and within the law to help in this case. Apple has stated that while they’re capable of creating a tool that FBI has asked for, they believe that the only way to guarantee that such a powerful tool doesn’t fall into the wrong hands is to never create it.
Now a new court filing has revealed that this is not the only case where Apple has been asked to break into its products. There are 12 other cases involving different models of iPhone and an iPad. All these requests were made in past few months only and Apple has either objected or challenged these requests to extract data from locked devices.
Following is the list taken from recent court filing which shows 12 iOS devices Apple has Objected to break into
According to the court filing, these requests were filed in different jurisdictions. Device models involved in these cases are ranging from an iPhone 3 to an iPhone 6 Plus and an iPad 2, running on different iOS versions. There’s one device that remains unidentified at the moment.
Through the F.A.Q posted after Tim Cook’s letter, Apple states that if the FBI wins this case, law enforcement agents around the US have hundreds of other iPhones they want Apple to unlock.
What do you think about Apple – FBI encryption row? Should Apple create a tool that FBI is asking for? Will Apple’s refusal to create such tool put criminals on stronger side? Or is there any other way? Feel free to leave comments. | [

The Civil Aviation Authority of Zimbabwe (CAAZ) has been
awarded a local company, Glowtrack Auctions a tender
to auction seven
passenger aircraft, Nehanda Radio has established.
(Note: Strange. Checked Glowtrack Auctions on Facebook, seems to be a cardealer. No images of any AZIM aircraft)
“Glowtrack Auctions business interactions led to the award of a tender
to sell used passenger aircrafts on behalf of
the Civil Aviation Authority of Zimbabwe (CAAZ) targeting both the local and regional and even international buyers,”
read the statement.
* * *
The company is tasked to ensure public participation in the scheduled auction event in compliance with the Public Procurement and Disposal of Public Assets Act (PPDPA), sell 7 Civil Aviation Authority passenger aircrafts that have been marked for disposal through public auction and realise auction proceeds “that are either equal to or above reserve values for each aircraft.”
Contacted for comment, CAAZ Public Relations and Communications Manager Annajulia Hungwe admitted that the
seven passenger aircrafts were being sold.She also said that “the tender was advertised in public newspapers” before
Glowtrack Auctions won it.
Over the past ten years, Air Zimbabwe (AirZim) has been frequently grounded due to losses and technical problems

Air Zimbabwe Boeing 737-200 Z-WPA "Mbuya Nehanda".
What had Air Zimbabwe to do without its only airworthy 737-200 Z-WPA. From the beginning in 1986/87 "They" were the "Triplets" WPA, Mbuya Nehanda, WPB, Great Zimbabwe and WPC Matojeni. WPB and Z-WPC are stored probably both at Harare even if Z-WPB was logged last VFA/BUQ to Bulawayo.
However, the aircraft that was delivered brand new to Air Zimbabwe in 1986 was slowed down by an expensive and lengthy D-Check. The airline's engineers and mechanics apparently used the corona lockdown phase productively. As local media report, they made the Z-WPA fit again with great effort over months of work.
Then she is said to have taken off in Harare for a three-hour test flight, which put a smile on everyone's lips. Thus, the 34-year-old jet, which bears the name of the national heroine Mbuya Nehanda, could face a whole series of more years of service - just like many other 737-200s around the globe.
The Boeing 737 is and will remain a long-runner. This is especially true for the "original version" 737-200, which with its slim, loud and extremely thirsty JT8D engines doesn’t really fit into the times, but whose services will continue to be in demand in the future.
Even if the number of flyable specimens will continue to decrease, there will be a few oases and for the legendary "thunder pig" for a long time to come. Mbuja Nehanda is equipping its 737-200 with glass cockpits and even wants to expand the sub-fleet. After all, with the right maintenance, 40 years is no age for an aircraft...

Over the last 50 years, the number of natural disasters per year has multiplied more than five times, going from 70 to 360 major annual events worldwide. Driven by climate change, this risk threatens dire consequences for telecommunications operators. In the last 5 years, AT&T alone lost $850 million due to infrastructure damage caused by natural disasters.
To provide stable services to customers, limit economic losses, and in the most extreme cases allow coordination of rescue efforts, networks must become resilient. Several US operators — including AT&T, Verizon, and Consolidated Communications — are already trying to figure out solutions.
Orange Silicon Valley, NVIDIA, Balcony Labs, and Orange Business Services have joined forces to create a rapid disaster detection and response approach based on AI. It is a crucial advancement in the protection of people and infrastructure.
Protecting the backbone of telecommunications
The backbone of every communication network is its cables and equipment connecting. The last 20 years witnessed an important boom in the use of fiber optics able to transmit information by light rather than electricity. The technology can increase the quality of Internet access and better resist as explained by Verizon spokesperson Karen Schulz. Fiber optics are also easier to monitor, and failures can be detected more efficiently. However, it is not a cure-all.
Indeed, according to UW-Madison professor Paul Barford, co-author of a report on this subject, “All of this equipment is meant to be weather-resistant-but it’s not waterproof … Much of the system was put into place in the ’90s without much consideration of climate change.” Projections for New York City indicate 20% of fiber networks will be flooded within 15 years. The rest of the equipment must also be adapted because of the desirability of replacing copper with fiber optics.
Beyond the choice of hardware for wired networks, the resilience of mobile networks and their power supplies is essential. A first option would be to set up battery backups and redundant generators. However, this does not lessen telecom operators’ reliance on the public power grid.
One approach comes from Aradatum, a Michigan-based Infratech tower company, which provides solutions for self-powering 4G and 5G networks using wind turbines, solar panels, and in some cases generators. Developed primarily for hard-to-reach locations with limited access to the electrical grid, their strategy can also decentralize the energy sources of telecom networks. However, Aradatum cannot yet power macro cellular antennas that cover large areas, as their power consumption is about 15,000 watts. Aradatum can power the small cells of distributed 5G networks, Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) networks, and microwave repeaters that are used as a backhaul instead of fiber.
The deployment of these technologies will take time and will not guarantee resistance to all types of disasters. AT&T announced in May 2022 the upgrade of its flying COW (Cell on Wings) system with 5G antennas. This solution allows recreating a cellular network very quickly thanks to drones designed for extreme conditions that are interconnected using millimeter waves. The 5G will provide exceptionally low latency connections to a larger number of simultaneous users compared to 4G. In the event of a natural disaster, there are many use cases — obtaining live videos of the situation on the ground; monitoring and guiding the progress of emergency services; and sending detailed instructions to the population in real time.
Dealing with the new normal
These rapid disaster response issues represent a market that will exceed $150 billion in the next 5 years. They are therefore also opportunities for business and innovation. AT&T is the operator behind the FirstNet solution, which is a secure network dedicated to first responders under the aegis of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). In the field of software solutions, Balcony Labs has developed an AI-powered mobile and web platform that enables decision-makers to communicate bi-directionally with individuals at locations of interest, verify the situation, and act on geo-precise information in real time.
Finally, the ability to forecast should be another key component of a resilience plan. In partnership with the US Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory, AT&T’s chief sustainability officer Charlene Lake announced the implementation of a statewide tracking and forecasting system for floods, hurricanes, and storms. According to Scott Mair, AT&T’s president of operations, “Historically, we’ve taken into consideration where flooding might impact us. But it has always been based on history.”
As operators search for innovative solutions, we must focus on understanding an uncertain future with new parameters that our predecessors did not consider. This is where the collaboration between Orange Silicon Valley, NVIDIA, Balcony Labs, and Orange Business Services can have an important impact. By developing a satellite-based flood detection AI solution that can be deployed at the edge, it becomes possible to monitor the entire globe and predict in advance the regions | [

Apple CEO Tim Cook announced today that the iPhone maker will be putting $1 billion of its roughly $256 billion cash hoard into a US advanced manufacturing fund. The news, which Cook disclosed in an interview with CNBC’s Jim Cramer, indicates that Apple’s executive leadership is intent on heading off any potential conflicts between the company and President Trump, who has promised to bring jobs back and pressure corporations to invest more domestically.
“It’s $1 billion of our US money, which we have to borrow to get. That’s another whole topic,” Cook said, lightly commenting on current US tax policy that Apple claims prevents it from repatriating a majority of its overseas cash. “But yeah, we’re really proud to do it. And by doing that, we can be the ripple in the pond. Because if we can create many manufacturing jobs around — those manufacturing jobs create more jobs around them, because you have a service industry that builds up around them.”
Cook says Apple will be announcing the first investment from the fund later this month. “And so you can see, we’re really looking at this thing deeply. How do we grow our employee base?” Cook said. “How do we grow the developer base? How do we grow manufacturing?”
An investment in domestic manufacturing could be a way for Apple to win favors in Washington, especially on controversial topics like immigration. The flow of foreign tech workers to the US is a contentious issue at hand, as the Trump administration has started looking at reforming visa programs, like the H-1B, favored by Silicon Valley companies. Apple could also be trying to coax Trump into following through on his promise to help corporations repatriate overseas earnings.
When asked about tax reform, Cook launched into an attack on the current tax code, one he’s repeated in one way or another many times over the last few years:
I actually think comprehensive tax reform is so important to this economy. If you think about it, what many, many companies now sell globally. If you sell globally, you earn money globally. If you earn money globally, you don’t — you can’t bring it back into the United States unless you pay 35 percent plus your state tax. And you look at this and you go, “this is kind of bizarre.” You want people to use this money in the United States to invest more. We are in a good position, but an unusual one. Our good position is we can borrow. And so to invest in the United States, we have to borrow. This doesn’t make sense on a broad basis, and so I think the administration you saw that they’re really getting this, and want to bring this back. And I hope that that comes to pass.
When asked directly about Apple’s relationship with Trump, Cook was slightly more cryptic. “You know, my view on working with any government in the world is that there are things that you will agree upon and things that you will not,” he said. “Because what we want to do when we disagree is we want to say why we view the way we do.” Cramer explicitly followed up with mention of immigration, prompting Cook to say, “Yes, immigration is one of those where you saw how we talked out about the executive order and how we felt about that.”
“You know, again, I think with each administration, in every country in the world, there are things you disagree and things you agree,” Cook added. “And you look to find common ground and try to influence the things you don’t. If you don’t show up, I think that’s the worst scenario. Because then you’re quiet and this doesn’t do your cause any good, or your point of view any good.” | [

If you knew sudden destruction would fall upon the earth in the next twenty-four hours, how would you spend your last moments? Join New York Times bestselling author John Hagee as he uses Scripture as a guide to count down the prophetic minutes through the events which must occur before every individual faces God on Judgment Day.
Charting international news events, including recent peace agreements in the Middle East, Hagee synchronizes these headlines with the biblical timeline for the last days, producing a compelling argument that life on Earth is about to expire. What else must take place before the arrival of Judgment Day?
This very timely message discusses:
The reality of virtual terrorismThe financial crisis and economic crashOpposing views of the RaptureRecent peace agreements in the Middle East that impact Israel and a potential Russian invasionNuclear warsThe purpose of the Tribulation and the Millennium
Significantly updated and revised from its previous publication under the title From Daniel to Doomsday, this is quintessential Hagee on Bible prophecy and End-Times teaching. This insightful book is an ideal resource for Christians who are looking for a guide to what the Bible says about the end times--and how to recognize that they are approaching.
Mark it down: The End of the Age is approaching, but it won't be ushered in by space aliens or catastrophic asteroids. Hagee guides us through the timeline before that fateful moment when every unredeemed individual must face God on Judgment Day.
End of fear
Takes away all fear of not only the end times but any doubt, confusion and worries of our present times.
Questions and mysteries solved
I am so thankful that I bought this book. I have always loved thee book of Revelation. However, I had questions about the meaning of some of it. I prayed to God for wisdom and this book opened my eyes and answered all of my questions. I read it in one day. I also highly recommend his book, The Three Heavens. I read it all yesterday. It also opened my eyes to questions. I can truly say that God answered my prayers for wisdom by reading both of these books! | [

If you or a loved one abuses alcohol on a regular basis, you may be wondering whether alcoholics experience a significantly decreased life expectancy. The short answer to this question is yes. Even though alcohol is a legal substance, it nonetheless contains a number of toxic compounds that can seriously compromise the health of the average person when consumed in excess. Following is a short list of some of the more common physical health issues and conditions that can shorten the lifespan of an alcoholic:
- Liver disease(Cirrhosis)
- Cardiovascular disease
- Certain types of cancer
- Irritable bowel syndrome
Because alcoholism, which is referred to as alcohol use disorder in a clinical setting, is a progressive disease, most of the medical conditions above occur in those with chronic addiction to alcohol that has developed over a number of years. However, excessive alcohol use has other potentially life-shortening consequences that go beyond the specific diseases listed above.
Table of Contents
The Effects of Alcohol on the Central Nervous System
As a depressant that acts on the central nervous system, alcohol can cause unsteady movement and speech, inhibited reflexes, and inaccurate perceptions. Any or all of these can result in bad judgment calls that lead to death, such as getting behind the wheel of a vehicle, boat, or bicycle, getting into an inadvisable physical altercation, or even excessive drinking in one session that alcohol poisoning occurs. Even a simple slip-and-fall incidents may have deadly results for someone who is under the influence of alcohol.
Lessened inhibitions caused by binge drinking alcohol include engaging in risky behavior that leads to dire consequences.
The Effects of Alcohol on Mental Health
Alcohol abuse can also cause mental health problems like paranoia, anxiety, despair and suicidal thoughts and this can have a negative effect on average life expectancy as well. For instance, although many moderate drinkers use it in an attempt to relieve stress, continued consumption of alcohol on a regular basis is a known contributor to anxiety and stress — and stress is another known contributor in its own right that can lead to shorter life expectancy, particularly when it comes to cardiovascular issues.
Because alcoholics often end up isolated and alone, they also face the risk of becoming clinically depressed including possible life-threatening health conditions. In extreme cases, this can lead to suicide.
The Effects of Alcohol on the Immune System
Regular alcohol consumption also wreaks havoc on the immune system by negatively affecting immune cells in key bodily organs, making it easier for a variety of infectious diseases to gain a foothold. Colds, flu, and other viral conditions are more likely to last longer and have more serious symptoms in those who drink heavily than their counterparts who consume alcohol in moderation or not at all.
Alcohol can also damage the microorganisms in the intestinal system that promote a healthy immune system.

One of these options is Structured Sober Living. This addiction treatment program combines structured residential living with 12-step philosophy and practices.

Bid submissions for the Mactan-Cebu International Airport expansion project are all set for tomorrow (28 November) with operators of international airports ready to compete for the P17.5bn (£253m) project.
The Philippine Department of Transportation and Communications’ (DOTC) has confirmed it will be the first airport auctioned off under president Benigno Aquino III’s public-private partnership (PPP) programme.
The project is expected to net the highest number of PPP bidders yet, having seven pre-qualified groups led by Philippine conglomerates partnered with airport operators from around the world.
“We know that the world is watching. This is the acid test for our PPP programme. The higher the turnout, the more credibility it will mean for our projects,” said DOTC spokesperson Michael Sagcal.
Foreign airport operators including ADC and HAS of Houston Airport in the USA, Malaysia Airports Berhad, Singapore Changi Airport Group, Incheon International Airport in South Korea, Aéroports de Lyon in France, Zurich Airport in Switzerland and Indira Gandhi International Airport in India, have all collaborated with other entities to bid for the Mactan-Cebu project.
The seven bidders, which were pre-qualified in May, include: AAA Airport Partners led by the Ayala and Aboitiz groups;
Filinvest – CAI consortium;
 First Philippine Airports consortium led by Lopez Holdings; GMR Infrastructure-Megawide consortium; MPIC-JGS airport consortium; San Miguel-Incheon Airport consortium; and Premier Airport group led by SM Investments.
The National Economic Development Authority (NEDA) board also approved several changes to the project’s original terms today (27 November) to make the investment more attractive to bidders and to encourage more competitive proposals.
Revisions include the extension of the concession period from 20 years to 25 years and the enforcing of a 25-year ban on the operation of competing airports within the province of Cebu apart from the Bantayan and Camotes Islands.
The project entails the construction of a new international passenger terminal with an annual capacity of eight million, the renovation of the old terminal, and the operation of the whole airport facility. | [

Summary: I bought this game for my grandson. Everytime we clicked on a new dance, it went through the directions again and again. My grandson completely became bored and stopped playing. He hasn't asked to play it since.
Summary: This is PATHETIC! I am so disappointed in this purchase. My kids don't like it all. I wanted a more kid friendly dance game but this is beyond amature. Poor graphics, sluggish gameplay and songs disappear if you turn up the difficulty. WASTE OF MONEY!!!
Summary: Compared to all the other dance games this one is by far the worse. I thought because this is a dance revolution that it would have good music and dance moves. The music is unpopular songs and quite a few of them are slow. The dance moves are more like steps. | [

V4 agree to speed up rail network developments
Europe’s current railway capacities are not enough to transport all the Ukrainian grain which until now had been delivered via the Black Sea to the west on schedule, state secretary David Vitezy said. The V4 officials agreed at their meeting in Budapest that their countries will do their utmost to aid Ukraine as well as Africa and Asia, which rely on Ukraine’s exports, he said.
The V4 countries are exploring new areas for cooperation with a view to expanding their capacities for cross-border transport within the European Union as well as for mapping out transport opportunities via the River Danube, Vitezy said.
The TIM will assign top priority to the improvement of the international integration of Hungary’s rail network and the development of relations with areas beyond the border, the statement said.
All of the V4 states are working on the development of the high-speed railway line linking Budapest and Warsaw via the Czech and Slovak capitals, Vitezy said. Hungary can obtain the environmental permit for the Budapest-Gyor section of the line within the next year, he said. Slovakia is currently planning the route of its section of the line while the Czech Republic and Poland are in the detailed planning stage, the state secretary added.
According to the statement, the project will shorten travel times between Budapest and its neighbouring capitals to less than two hours. The journey from Budapest to Prague would take three-and-a-half hours and the full Budapest-Warsaw trip will be five-and-a-half hours, with the trains on the line reaching speeds of up to 320kph. | [

The demand for textile products has increased significantly in recent years and has been expected to continue to grow due to the increasing economic activity in the country.
In recent times, the textile industry in Thailand has seen a huge growth in demand due to various factors such as the rise of tourism and an increase in the demand for consumer goods, such as clothing and shoes.
But while the textile sector in Thailand is still relatively small in comparison to other textile industries in the world, the industry is seeing a massive growth in the past few years.
The number of textile mills in Thailand, the largest textile industry on the island, has increased to 2,000 from 300 in 2016, according to a study conducted by the Institute of Tropical Industry in Thailand.
The Institute of Tropic Industry in Bangkok, the primary agency responsible for the regulation of the sector, said that the growth of the textile manufacturing sector in the recent past has been driven by the demand of the global market.
“The market has become bigger and bigger and we have seen an increase of demand for our products, mainly for footwear,” said Nachiyaw, the institute’s head.
“For footwear, we have been doing good business in the market and we were able to increase our output by 50 per cent in the last year,” Nachihyaw said.
“But for textile, we did not do well and it is because of the slowdown in exports that the industry has suffered,” he added.
According to the institute, Thailand has witnessed a huge boom in the textile and apparel industries in recent times.
The industry has seen an unprecedented boom in recent decades due to a boom in tourism and a significant increase in tourism activity.
The Tourism and Entertainment Act of 2016 introduced the first tourist tax in Thailand and increased tariffs on all tourist-related products, including apparel and footwear.
The legislation has also led to a huge increase in manufacturing capacity and increased the competitiveness of the industry.
The ministry of tourism said that it aims to boost the textile industries sector by providing more opportunities for the textile factories to expand and grow.
In a bid to boost textile industry output, the ministry is also considering increasing tariff rates on apparel and shoes, which will also help the textile manufacturers increase their capacity, the Ministry of Tourism said. | [

The Future of Health: 11 Key Issues to Follow in 2023
The global health landscape is ever-changing, and it is important for us to be aware of the most pressing global health issues of our time. As we move further into 2023, here are 11 global health issues to watch:
1. COVID-19: The pandemic continues to be a major global health issue. While vaccination rates are increasing in some parts of the world, the virus is still spreading rapidly in others, and new variants are emerging. It should continue to be a high priority to continue monitoring the virus's spread.
2. Mental Health: The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on mental health, with many people experiencing increased stress, anxiety, and depression. In 2023, it will be important to continue to prioritize mental health support for individuals and communities.
3. Non-Communicable Diseases: Non-communicable diseases such as heart disease, cancer, and diabetes continue to be major global health issues. It is vital to continue focusing on preventing and treating these diseases.
4. Antimicrobial Resistance: Antimicrobial resistance is a growing threat to global health, as bacteria and other pathogens become resistant to antibiotics and other drugs. In 2023, developing new treatments and strategies to combat antimicrobial resistance will be important.
5. Climate Change: Climate change can be a threat to global health, as it can exacerbate existing health issues and create new ones. It remains crucial to prioritize addressing climate change's health consequences and take bold action to minimize its detrimental effects on global health.
6. Maternal and Child Health: Maternal and child health continues to be major global health issues, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Impact offers comprehensive maternity care and does not discriminate based on income or faith.
7. Access to Healthcare: Access to healthcare remains a major global health issue, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. As we move into 2023, it remains crucial to prioritize healthcare coverage and tackle critical issues such as shortages in healthcare professionals. We can only pave the way to a healthier and more equitable future for all by addressing these challenges, which is at the heart of Impact Health Sharing.
8. Infectious Diseases: While COVID-19 has dominated the headlines in recent years, infectious diseases such as malaria, tuberculosis, and HIV/AIDS continue to be major global health issues. It is crucial to maintain a steadfast focus on preventing, treating, and eliminating infectious diseases such as malaria, tuberculosis, and HIV/AIDS.
9. Substance Abuse: Substance abuse continues to be a major global health issue, with many individuals struggling with addiction and its associated health consequences. It is important to continue to prioritize prevention, treatment, and recovery services for individuals struggling with substance abuse.
10. Aging Population: As the global population ages, there are increasing concerns about issues such as dementia and elder abuse. Throughout 2023, it will be important to continue to address these issues and to improve access to healthcare and support services for older adults.
11. Health Disparities: Health disparities continue to be a major global health issue, with marginalized communities experiencing higher rates of illness and mortality. In 2023, it will be important to continue to address health disparities and to work towards health equity for all.
Impact Health Sharing is built on an industry-leading platform, providing a level of transparency in the sharing process never experienced before. At its core, Impact enables peer-to-peer sharing through innovative algorithms that match, allocate, and transfer funds from member to member, which clearly demonstrates that Impact is neither insurance nor works like it.
Check out our Decision Guide to help you navigate your choices.
In conclusion, these 11 global health issues to watch in 2023 highlight the importance of continued action and attention to global health challenges. We can work towards a healthier and more equitable world by addressing these issues. | [

Happy Election Day, Texas! If you haven’t voted yet, make sure you have a plan to vote today before 7 PM. (If you are in line when the polls close, stay in line!) Find all the election info you need at VoteTexas.gov or your county clerk’s website.
BikeTexas has endorsed candidates in several Austin-based races:
US Representative, TX 37th: BikeTexas endorses our longtime friend and ally Lloyd Doggett. Rep Doggett has proven time and again that he is willing to work tirelessly to make sure that biking and walking infrastructure has the funding and leadership required to see projects through to completion. Most recently, he worked to secure additional funding for the 30-mile MoKan loop trail in Austin. BikeTexas is confident that Rep. Doggett will continue to be a friend to people who ride bikes in his district, across Texas, and throughout the nation.
US Representative, TX 35th: BikeTexas endorses Greg Casar. On a city council that was very good for biking and walking in Austin, Greg was one of the best for active transportation. He has offered support and leadership to multiple bond referendums that have provided funding for biking and walking infrastructure around Austin.
Texas House, District 51: BikeTexas endorses Lulu Flores, a longtime civic leader running for her first term in office. Lulu is already a solid supporter of active transportation—among other things, she hosted a bike ride to the polls during her primary election—and we believe she will be a strong voice at the legislature for people who bike and walk in Texas.
Austin Mayor: BikeTexas endorses Kirk Watson. At the legislature, Kirk authored several pro-bike bills and was open and helpful to people who ride bikes in Texas. As the former Austin mayor, he helped lay a foundation for Austin to become the bikeable city it is now with his work to improve downtown, and we are confident that he will continue to expand on the work that has been done to encourage active transportation in Austin.
Austin City Council District 5: BikeTexas endorses Ken Craig. After seven years working on former councilmember Ann Kitchen’s staff, Ken has deep experience and knowledge of how the city council works, and has seen firsthand how to support biking and walking as a member of the council.
Austin City Council District 8: BikeTexas endorses Paige Ellis for a second term. In her first term, Paige successfully sponsored the biggest bond referendum for bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure funding in Texas history.
Austin City Council District 9: BikeTexas endorses our longtime friend Tom Wald. Tom has a long history as a bicycle advocate and civic leader in Austin and we have no doubt his would be a strong voice on the city council for people who ride bikes. | [

Singer, songwriter, Tim Timmons jumped into the CCM scene with his debut album, Cast My Cares, in 2013. The album featured many deeply personal songs that dealt with struggles in Timmons' life -- especially given his terminal cancer diagnosis. While "Starts With Me" was a smash hit on CCM radio, songs like "Cast My Cares" and "Great Reward" resonated much greater. The announcement of his newest album, Awake Our Souls, was quite exciting for this reviewer. Another collection of songs featuring Timmons' unique voice and perspective was eagerly awaited.
"Awake Our Souls" is a stronger opener than "It's Your Revolution" and has the potential to be this album's "Starts With Me." From here, sadly, the album follows a pretty standard CCM formula. The album was written from a different place than Cast My Cares, and that's understandable, but the personal aspect of that album is what made it so endearing. The debut had songs of fear, struggle, and giving God full control, whereas Awake Our Souls is more about praising God in general. The whole thing is a bit of a catch twenty-two. If he was still writing songs with a message like "Great Reward" you may wonder if he had made any growth, but given the nature of the new songs, it's obvious he has overcome these things through Christ.
Taken completely on its own, Awake Our Souls can hold its own when compared to the work of other modern CCM or worship artists. Songs like the title track, "You Are Good (That I May)," -- the closest to that personal feel of the debut -- and "All I Really Want" are solid numbers worthy of attention. Also, anyone who has seen an interview with Timmons, or seen him play live, will certainly catch the key phrase in "Spring Up" as he sings the line "What if it's true?" There are plenty of catchy songs to enjoy throughout the album; even the bluegrass-y feel of "Everywhere I Go" is a really fun listen.
Tim Timmons is now about 14 years into the fight with an incurable cancer. If the doctors were correct, he would've passed on about 9 years ago. It's pretty obvious that God is in control and is not finished with Tim at this point. Tim has decided to let God "fight" the cancer for him and lives his life as if he's healed. His story is both phenomenal and inspiring. While his newest album isn't as powerful as his previous, I still give Timmons a slight nod over many for his unique style. His voice is definitely different and his songwriting style and approach stand apart. Awake Our Souls may not be your favorite album this year, but fans of today's CCM will definitely find enjoyment and some replay value. If you're just hearing about Tim Timmons for the first time, I recommend starting with Cast My Cares. If you're looking for some new CCM that has the same sound you like, but a slightly different perspective, Awake Our Souls will be right up your alley.- Review date: 10/12/15, written by Michael Weaver of Jesusfreakhideout.com

May is National Foster Care Month – a time to raise awareness about foster care and to support and give recognition to foster parents, as well as all of the other individuals and professionals who play a vital role in helping children and youth in the system.
Whether it’s volunteers, family members, social workers, policy makers, or other community members – including foster parents themselves – those committed to promoting child welfare are true heroes in the eyes of many.
There are 420,000 – plus youth and children in foster care in the United States, split nearly equally between boys and girls. For more than 50%, the goal is reunification with their parent(s) or primary caregiver(s); for about 30%, the aim is to be placed in permanent care with an adoptive family.
No matter the outcome, what’s important to remember is when a child enters the foster care system, they likely feel alone, afraid, anxious, maybe abandoned, and possibly traumatized. Those are the emotions Vic and Vickie Bennett sensed when they first met Xander, now their thriving, adopted grandchild, who came into their lives through foster care. The Bennetts have always felt a calling to rescue at – risk kids. With Xander in their lives, that calling became a life mission.
Through Lavender Life Company, the Bennetts began producing organic lavender baby products and soothing textiles. But, their a – ha moment came when they created their microwaveable, lavender – filled plush bunnies, which they named Xander Bunnies. They realized that for every bunny they sold, they could donate one to a child in the foster care system.
“Lavender is known to be calming and can reduce anxiety and promote sleep – all of which are critical needs of kids in trauma,” the Bennetts say. “No matter the child’s status or unsettling background, the bunny could give them a tangible ‘hug’ and perhaps send them a message that they are loved and they are not alone.”
Several years and thousands – upon – thousands of bunnies later (and now dogs, too!) their mission has become a movement – and has expanded further with the Community Partners program, which engages with organizations across the country and mobilizes them to get these warmable, comforting stuffed animals in the hands of foster children in their areas. In addition, there’s the Friends of the Bunny program, where individuals can donate both bunnies and the Volunteer at the Barn opportunity, where corporate teams and community philanthropic groups can lend their support.
The efforts made by all involved – from gift givers and donors to community partners and volunteers to parents and families – can make a tangible difference in a foster child’s life.
To purchase a Xander Bunny or Dog for someone you love, and have one donated to a child in foster care, or to donate both Xanders, visit our website: https://lavender – life.com/collections/xander
Those interested in participating in Lavender Life’s foster care support programs can contact Vic at [email protected] or 616 – 481 – 3349. | [

How To Reset A Brother Laser PrinterSince Xerox first invented and sold the first commercial photocopy machine companies and organisations have paid for use of the machine on a cost per copy basis. Onsite printer repair service delivery business hours are 8 am to 5 pm local time, Monday thru Friday, except Peak-Ryzex recognized holidays. Other departments such as the fine arts, medical and engineering schools have their own 3D printers. As much as I love to read about the exciting advances in 3D printing technology, one thing worries me. All the consumer-oriented printers that I've seen have used ABS plastic as a printing medium.
Offset presses are generally more cost-effective than digital printers for long print runs (usually 1000 sheets or more). The Printronix P7000 series of line matrix printers are still manufactured as of 2013. We are a fully equipped commercial print store and we are capable of printing any kind of job, regardless of how big of small the job may be. Pasadena Image Printers also offers graphic design services to help you pick a logo for your business or company, as well as also offering lamination and binding services.
To choose the most excellent option, one should perform a relative study and analysis of available alternative of printers. You may think that these printers would be huge and very cumbersome, but this is not always the case. However, laser printers are usually bulkier and noisier than the equivalent inkjet printer and will take up more space on your desk. In addition to creating math objects, 3D printers have opened up a wonderland of options for designing components of larger experiences used to facilitate mathematical thinking.
I've been the printer & copier go-to person in nearly every job I've had and George is the best printer repair guy I've ever had. Find out more about the Best home office printers, and whether one might be the right printer for you. According to the provisions of the 1975 Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, tie-in sales provisions are proscribed in warranties, meaning a particular company is not allowed to require a buyer of their product to buy another item or service from them in order of the warrant.
You can follow its progress on the company's website, as well as here on Digital Trends, where we'll be shedding light on many intriguing-sounding 3D printers throughout 2017. When you call us for your printer repair a knowledgable service representative will answer - not a recording. The plotter also has an automatic media-switching feature that enables media selection within the printer driver.
You need to remember that it is certainly not good for your pocket to buy cheap printers that are expensive to operate. When I asked him whether he was a dealer, he said that he is, but knowing that I was down for the count printer-wise and desperate to get back online, naprawa ploterów w Poznaniu encouraged me to consider buying the printer from another source, if I could get it sooner than he could provide it. Talk about honest!
We are specialists in the diagnostics, cleaning, maintenance and repair of LASERJETS, INKJETS, MULTIFUNCTION printers, PLOTTERS, DOT-MATRIX printers, POINT-OF-SALE products, 3M TATTOO MAKERS, SHREDDERS and TYPEWRITERS. Most manufacturers have both laser and inkjet home office printers in their range, designed to print a lot of text and the odd business graphic rather than photos, children's homework or art projects.
Where once a photocopier was sold by a local dealer now people look to buy online off the internet. Faxcomm only uses Genuine OEM Parts which ensures quality, reliability and efficiency. All-in-one printers at the top of many review lists are made through leading brands that develop new technologies and work with ink cartridge refill function since decades. The terminal port is a bit more interesting, I read somewhere that it's basically the same as the serial interface, only with a character echo, so you can send commands to the plotter per Telnet and see what you're typing.
As technology advances so does the number of electrical products we buy to make our life easier and get things done quicker. We guarantee professional, timely, and effective serwis ploterow service to businesses nationwide. Their multifunction Inkjet, domestic use printers are their most popular model, and were the first printers made with wifi installation. I picked it up, but on the way home stopped by a Walmart for kicks and giggles to see how much ink was going to cost brand new in the box. | [

Reducing the Potential Downstream Impacts of a Dam Failureby Peter W. Soltys, Water Resources, Cincinnati, United States,
Document Type: Proceeding Paper
Part of: Hydraulic Engineering
Abstract: The dam safety regulations imposed by the individual states in the United States vary widely and provide inconsistent protection for the citizens of different states. The proximity of dams to inhabited areas, insufficient government dam safety regulations, and lax enforcement of existing regulations can result in a hazardous situation, especially if sufficient measures are not in place to provide a warning of impending dam failure. This paper reviews the various safety measures available to dam owners to reduce the impacts of a dam failure on downstream areas including Emergency Action Plans, dam inspections, and remote monitoring systems.

President Obama ticked off some accomplishments of the Islamic world during his speech in Cairo on June 4. Namely, he said:
Obama: It was innovation in Muslim communities that developed the order of algebra; our magnetic compass and tools of navigation; our mastery of pens and printing; our understanding of how disease spreads and how it can be healed.
Was he right? Well, he was more careful in his language than when he claimed this winter that the U.S. "invented" the automobile. This time he said that Muslim communities "developed" these technological advances. Taking them one by one, here’s a brief look at the Muslim role in their development:
- Algebra. Other civilizations played a role in the development of algebra, such as Babylonia. But the word algebra itself is derived from the Arabic word "al-jabr," which is used in Mohammed ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi’s book on Algebra, "The Comprehensive Book of Calculation by Balance and Opposition," written around 820. Other Muslims, such as Abu Bakr al-Karaji are credited with the development of reciprocals of polynomials.
- Magnetic compass and tools of navigation. Historical accounts agree that the Chinese first used a compass, but Arabs are thought to have improved upon it for use in sea navigation. The United Kingdom’s Foundation for Science, Technology and Civilisation says that "[t]he compass is described in a Chinese book of 1044 on military techniques." It goes on to say: "We don’t know how scientists invented the compass. No-one is sure, either, how the compass got to the Islamic world. But Muslim scientists were quick to use it and improve it." The earliest mention of a magnetic compass in Muslim literature is in Muhammad al-Awfi’s "Collection of Stories" in 1233. It describes the use of a compass during a voyage in the Red Sea or Persian Gulf. Other accounts say that Muslim use of the compass for navigation may have spread to Europe during the Crusades.
- Our mastery of pens and printing. Again, there is widespread agreement that printing first began in Asia. Robin D. S. Yates, professor of history and East Asian studies at Montreal’s McGill University, told PBS’ "NOVA" program that Buddhists first invented printing and that the Chinese invented movable type during the Song Dynasty in the 11th century. There is evidence that Muslims were using mass printing methods hundreds of years before Gutenberg’s invention of the printing press as well. Dr. Geoffrey Roper, an expert in the history of printing in Muslim civilizations, writes that sometime in the late 900s, Muslims had "embraced the Chinese craft of paper making, developed it and adopted it widely in the Muslim lands." Roper says there was mass distribution of printings of a collection of prayers on paper strips. "Several have been found by archaeologists in the course of excavations at Fustat (old Cairo), and the archaeological context has made it possible to date them to the 10th century," he writes. Also, in the book "Paper Before Print: The History and Impact of Paper in the Islamic World," Islamic and Asian art professor Jonathan M. Bloom describes how paper-making flourished in the Muslim world and how an assembly-line method of copying texts by hand was developed.
- How disease spreads and how it can be healed. Contributions from Muslims in the field of medicine are varied, deep and long established. In the prologue to his Canterbury Tales, Chaucer listed several physicians from the Islamic world. The National Institutes of Health explained that the English writer listed these "great physicians of the past that his 14th-century audience could be expected to recognize" to bolster the bona fides of the character of the "Doctour of Phisyk."
In his speech, Obama added that "Islamic culture has given us majestic arches and soaring spires; timeless poetry and cherished music; elegant calligraphy and places of peaceful contemplation." That’s all certainly true — note that he didn’t say Muslims "invented" any of that, but that "majestic arches" and "elegant calligraphy" have been a part of the culture. Altogether, we judge Obama was on firm ground this time. | [

Afghan government should withdraw proposed bill to take over women’s shelters
IMPORTANT: THIS ARCHIVED ACTION CAMPAIGN HAS BEEN COMPLETED OR DISCONTINUED, AND THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN IT MAY NOT BE CURRENT. PLEASE SEE TAKE ACTION FOR CURRENT AND ONGOING CAMPAIGNS.
Equality Now is deeply concerned about a proposed Bill by the government of Afghanistan that would relegate women’s shelters, currently being operated by several independent women’s organizations, to the management of the Ministry of Women’s Affairs (MoWA). The draft regulations for the shelters propose unwarranted government control over the acceptance, regime and release of women seeking the protection at these shelters, including compulsory forensic and medical examinations of women and girls seeking admittance and cumbersome restrictions on admitted women leaving the shelter.
Given the Afghan government’s abysmal track record on women’s rights, a government take-over of shelters would have serious implications for Afghan women. According to a 2009 report by the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), violence against women is widespread and “much of this violence is perpetrated within the family; however, local power-brokers, the formal and traditional justice systems, police and prison authorities also play their part in reinforcing social control over women and in condoning such violence.” Additionally, a 2009 joint report by the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) and the OHCHR, states that “Afghan women have repeatedly reported that they have lost faith in the law enforcement and judicial institutions that they consider ineffective, incompetent, dysfunctional and corrupt. Referring an incident to the police, the national directorate of security (i.e., the intelligence service) or a prosecutor is said to be of no avail; cases are usually not taken seriously, properly recorded or acted upon. Ultimately, authorities are not willing or are not in a position to provide women at risk with any form of protection to ensure their safety”. Until the government of Afghanistan takes steps to address these issues, women will not trust government-run shelters to provide them with the safety and support they need.
Currently shelters are run by NGOs that are committed to fighting for justice for the women in the shelters and are providing much needed services to such women. The proposed regulations contain no provisions to provide such legal, social, medical, psychological or rehabilitative services and there is a fear that they would operate more like prisons than places of support. In supporting the government take-over, MoWA accuses women’s groups of corruption. However, human rights advocates are concerned that the main motivation behind the government’s move is to appease conservative forces within the country who want control over women maintained. Speaking to the press on 17 February in Kabul, Soraya Sobhrang, commissioner for women’s rights at the Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission, asserted that former militia commanders within the president’s inner circle were behind the government’s crackdown on women’s shelters. “We believe people operating above the law will influence decisions about women in shelters,” she said. The director of Women for Afghan Women, Manizha Naderi, who runs shelters for abused women in Afghanistan and on average assists 1200 women a year, believes that: “MoWA does not have the capacity to run women’s shelters. Furthermore, as an arm of the government itself dependent on that body for its survival, MoWA lacks the independence and the will to stand up for women’s rights against an increasingly conservative regime.”
Following widespread criticism, President Karzai has reportedly stated that the government will not take over all shelters but rather only the few accused of corruption and found in violation of the established standards and the rules and regulations. However, this is not reflected in the language of the proposed Bill and concrete steps to withdraw the Bill have not been taken.
The international donor community plays a key developmental role in Afghanistan, including in helping to rebuild institutions of state. While the donor community has expressed commitment to the rights of Afghan women, such commitment is not always matched by action. Women’s groups in Afghanistan have advocated that support from the international community should depend on the rights of women being upheld. The Brussels Proclamation issued by Afghan women leaders at the Afghan Women’s Summit for Democracy as early as December 2001 recommended that “all support, including monetary, from the international community [should be] conditional on the rights and treatment of women.” In December 2010, at a European Parliament meeting on strengthening the role of women MPs in stabilizing and transforming Afghanistan held in Brussels, Afghan women MPs called for the international donor community to support Afghan women and prioritize women’s rights in their funding. Donor countries need to listen to this repeated plea and hold each other and the government of Afghanistan accountable for their international commitments, including by adopting “measures that ensure the protection of and respect for [the] human rights of women and girls” as provided for by UN Security Council | [

Clamp-On Auto-Refill Kit
Mityvac Clamp-On Auto Refill Kit uses gravity to automatically refill the master cylinder during vacuum or manual hydraulic brake or clutch bleeding/flushing. It includes a 40 oz (1.2 l) reservoir that mounts on top of the master cylinder and clamps securely to the wall. As old brake fluid is bled from the hydraulic system through the bleed screws, new fluid flows automatically from the reservoir to replenish the master cylinder.

Name taken: Urban III
Besieged in VeronaEdit
Pope Lucius III was elected on 1 September 1181, but had to be consecrated and enthroned at Velletri, due to the hostility of the Romans. But, having refused to grant the consuetudines to the Romans which had been conceded by earlier popes, he was forced to retreat to Velletri. In the meantime, refugees from Tusculum, which had been destroyed earlier in the century by the Roman commune, began to rebuild their fortifications. Annoyed by the challenge, the Roman commune reopened the war, devastated the territory of Tusculum in April 1184, and then turned their wrath against Latium. The pope then fled to the Emperor Frederick Barbarossa, who was at Verona, by way of Ancona, Rimini, Faenza, and Modena. Some of the cardinals followed Pope Lucius to Verona; others, however, whose followers had perpetrated the outrages at Tusculum and in the Roman campagna, remained in the city.
Ten cardinals who were with the refugee pope participated in the consecration of the cathedral of Modena on 14 July 1184. They were: Theodinus of Porto, Tebaldus of Ostia; Joannes of S. Marco, Laborans of S. Maria Transtiberim, Pandulfus of Ss. Apostolorum, Ubertus of S. Lorenzo in Damaso; Ardicio of S. Teodoro, Graziano of Ss. Cosma e Damiano, Goffredfus of S. Maria in Via Lata, and Albinus of S. Maria Nuova.
Discussions between the pope and the emperor quickly turned sour. There was the matter of lay appointment to bishops, and the issue of the inheritance of Mathilda of Tuscany, which had been willed to S. Peter, but which was in imperial hands and of which the emperor insisted he was the feudal overlord. Frustrated and angry, the emperor withdrew to the palace in Pavia. He placed a military cordon around Verona, permitting no one to go to the papal court and allowing no one to leave Verona. Anyone caught was subject to imprisonment and torture.
List of participantsEdit
There were probably 26 cardinals in the Sacred College at the death of Lucius III on 25 November 1185. On 11 November 1185, two weeks before the pope's death, eighteen cardinals subscribed a bull in favor of the monastery of S. Peter Lobiensis. This was the last day on which bulls were signed before the pope's death.

LAHORE : Chairman PTI Imran Khan has announced “Jail Bharo Movement”, directing the party workers to be ready for movement to fill the jails.
In a video message, the PTI chairman said that the government had made a plan to arrest him. He said that the PTI workers and the nation should prepare for the “Jail Bharo Tehreek” and everyone should wait for his call.
Imran Khan said that the government of thieves had been imposed on Pakistan under conspiracy. He said that the government was running away from the elections, as it was registering cases against its opponents. Shahbaz Gill, Azam Swati and Fawad Chaudhry were arrested by the government, he said, adding that Azam Swati was tortured in front of hi children and grand daughters while Fawad Chaudhry was arrested early morning. He said that those who spoke against regime change were being oppressed.

He said that the present government had failed to control inflation in the country. When no trust motion was moved against the PTI government, the dollar was of Rs 178 while today the dollar value has increased by Rs 100 in 9 months.
He said that political stability was a must for economic stability in the country. He said that despite of 18 days after dissolution of the provincial assemblies by PTI, the date for elections has not yet been announced.
Imran Khan said that the rulers were not worried about the country’s economy as they had shifted their money abroad, adding that the government has no roadmap to fix the country’s economy. | [

The new year is already looking bright for Savannah Guthrie!
“I can see 2020!” Savannah wrote on Instagram on Tuesday in celebration of the new year.
In the photo, the TODAY anchor and her husband, Michael Feldman, both smile for a sweet date night selfie.
Not only can Savannah see again, but there's more good news: She'll be returning to the show any day now. Savannah has been off the air (mostly) since November while she recovers from surgery to fix a tear in her retina following an accident with her son's toy.
Just like last year, Hoda Kotb and Al Roker headed to Pasadena, California, to cover the annual Rose Parade.
Al and his wife, Deborah Roberts, enjoyed a celebratory dinner out with their children Leila, 21, and Nicholas, 17. Later, Al and Deborah were joined in their hotel room by Hoda and her fiancé, Joel Schiffman, for the 2020 countdown. In an Instagram video posted by Al, the group is seen clinking their glasses together.
Craig Melvin, who is vacationing with his wife, Lindsay Czarniak, Instagrammed a peaceful beach photo.
“A dual purpose post,” Craig wrote. “Out-of-office reply and Happy New Year! May the next year be filled with health, happiness, love and all that’s good. Off this thing for a bit. Be safe and kind to each other. See you next year. W/ @lindsaycz.”
Back in New York City, NBC’s New Year’s Eve co-host Carson Daly cuddled up with his pregnant wife, Siri Pinter, and their kids Jackson, 10, Etta, 7, and London, 5.
“Happy New year from NYC where dad has once again dragged the family to his job,” Carson wrote on Instagram. “My 19th year in Times Square! God bless you & yours. Cya in 2020!”
Jenna Bush Hager and her husband, Henry, also enjoyed some family time. The couple gathered on a beach with their daughters Mila, 6, and Poppy, 4, to savor the final sunset of 2019. Though 4-month-old Hal wasn't in the picture, he was on Jenna's mind.
“Last sunset of the decade that brought us these two beautiful girls and their baby brother,” Jenna wrote on Instagram. “How wonderful life is! Hoping 2020 brings you all the joy we get from watching the world through our babes’ eyes.” | [

|“||Kill in style with this gorgeous weapon!||”|
|— Weapon Description|
The Remington 870 Neon is a Pointman weapon first introduced during the _______ Content Update.
The Remington870 Neon has the same stats as the Blue Skull variant. (Its stats showed the regular 870's stats for a long time but has recently been corrected to show the correct stats).
The only difference between the Blueskull and the 870 Neon is that the Neon retains the base models modability, making the Neon actually better than a Blueskull.
Reinforced Ammo (Adds one extra pellet to each shot, Recommended by most.)
Long Range (Range +1.6)
Reinforced ammo is better because it basically increase your damage by about 12%
The bonus range from the range barrel is very minimal
- Either of the two mods are recommended as the barrel increases the number of pellets by one, allowing some increase in damage and the long range barrel which increases range, a very important stat to shotguns. The pellet mod allows for more damage, but it still retains the same range of the Remington 870. The Long range barrel increases the range by two, while lowering stability by one. The long range allows for the damage to retain just a bit more, allowing for the kill distance to increase by a significant amount.
- The Remington 870 is the only pump action shotgun that should be used in co-op missions due to its relatively fast reload speed. With Magazine upgrade A, the reload speed of the 870 is insane.
- The Remington 870 Neon has a blue muzzle flash, similar to the Galil MAR's. | [

He's amazing and we are so happy together.
I wanted to thank Black Singles for bringing my husband and I together. We met through your website and it was the best thing that has ever happened to me! He's amazing and we are so happy together. I will never be able to thank you enough for helping two people who were destined to be together find one another. We met in March of 2008 and were married in November of that same year!
We are soul mates and we are truly grateful to this website for making all of our dreams come true!
Thank you Black Singles!

This week’s Spotlight is on Yifeng Cui, director of the High Performance GeoComputing Lab (HPGeoC) at the San Diego Supercomputer Center (and adjunct professor in the Department of Geological Sciences at San Diego State University).
HPGeoC was recently named a winner of the HPC Innovation Excellence Award by IDC for developing a highly scalable computer code that promises to dramatically cut research times and energy costs in simulating seismic hazards. The video below demonstrates some of the earthquake simulation done by HPGeoC.
Read Yifeng’s full Spotlight here. Here is an excerpt.
NVIDIA: How are GPUs helping you solve key challenges in your field?
Yifeng: Our team developed a scalable GPU code based on AWP-ODC, an Anelastic Wave Propagation code originally developed by Prof. Kim Olsen of SDSU. This code has two versions that give equivalent results. The first version can efficiently calculate extreme scale ground motions at many sites.
The second can efficiently calculate ground motions from many single-site ruptures as capacity computing. The optimization of the code results in around a 110x speed up over the CPU in key strain tensor calculations critical to the probabilistic seismic hazard analysis.
NVIDIA: What specific approaches do you use to apply GPU computing to your work?
Yifeng: This code is a memory-bounded stencil that is limited in compute performance by its low computational intensity and poor data locality. We re-designed the Fortran code to C to maximize throughput and memory locality. Good scalability was achieved through a two-layer 2D decomposition, and an algorithm-level communication reduction scheme, which eliminates stress data exchange otherwise needed per iteration.
CUDA asynchronous memory copy operations help effective overlap of CPU/PCI-e data transfer with GPU computation. A two-layer scalable IO technique was developed to efficiently handle many terabytes of dynamic source and media inputs, as well as 3D volume velocity outputs. We are also tuning co-scheduling to allow full utilization of both CPUs and GPUs in the hybrid heterogeneous systems. We are grateful for NVIDIA’s support during our implementation process.
NVIDIA: Tell us about your use of the Titan system at Oak Ridge National Lab.
Yifeng: We simulated realistic 0-10 hertz ground motions on a mesh comprising 443 billion elements in a calculation that includes both small-scale fault geometry and media complexity at a model size far beyond what has been done previously. This was done in collaboration with Profs. Olsen and Steve Day of SDSU; Prof. Thomas Jordan of USC, the Director of SCEC; and others at SCEC. The validation simulation on Titan demonstrated ideal scalability up to 8K Titan nodes, and sustained 2.3 petaflop/s on 16K Titan nodes. | [

Researchers have used machine learning to assess bone density scans for calcification in the aorta, the body’s main artery. They say their method could be used to predict future cardiovascular and other disease, even before symptoms appear.
Copyright: newatlas.com – “AI Analysis will Predict Future Disease from Bone Density Scans”
Just as calcification, or the deposit of calcium, on the inner wall of blood vessels in the heart can be problematic, so can calcification of the aorta, the largest artery in the body. Exiting the heart, it branches upward to supply blood to the brain and arms and extends down to the abdomen, where it splits into smaller arteries that supply each leg.
Abdominal aortic calcification (AAC), calcification in the section of the aorta that runs through the abdomen, can predict the development of cardiovascular diseases such as heart attack and stroke and determine mortality risk. Previous studies have also found that it’s also a reliable marker for late-life dementia. AAC is visible on bone density scans typically used to detect osteoporosis in the lumbar vertebrae, but a highly trained professional is required to analyze these images, which takes time.
AAC is commonly quantified by trained imaging specialists using a 24-point scoring system, AAC-24. A score of zero represents no calcification, and a score of 24 represents the most severe degree of AAC. Now, researchers from Edith Cowan University in Australia have turned to machine learning to speed up the calcification assessment and scoring process.
The researchers input 5,012 spinal images, taken by four different models of bone density machines, into their machine learning model. Though other algorithms have been developed to assess AAC from these types of images, the researchers say this study is the biggest and the first to be tested in a real-world setting using images taken from routine bone density testing.
They then assessed the model’s performance in accurately classifying images into low, moderate and high categories of calcification based on their AAC-24 score. To check for accuracy, the machine-learning-based AAC scores were compared with scores given by human specialists. The specialist and the software arrived at the same determination 80% of the time. Three percent of people with high AAC scores were incorrectly diagnosed as having low scores by the software.[…]

[Game] Phase Rummy
world of solitaire
Phase Rummy is one of the most played card games, especially among the youth.
Not only the game is fun and gripping, but even the cards are attractive.
The game objective is to be the first player to complete 10 varied Phases – Two sets of three, One run of seven, Seven cards of one color and more.
A phase is a combination of cards and can be composed of Sets (multiple cards of the same value), Runs (multiple cards in consecutive ascending order), Cards of one color, or a combination of these. Each phase to be completed is specific to each hand dealt, meaning you need to complete the current phase in order to advance to the next one. Finish all 10 phases and win the Phase Rummy game!
Each deck contains ‘Wild’ and ‘Skip’ cards that deliver game-changing moments! A ‘Wild’ card can be used in place of a number card, as well as any color to complete any Phase, while a ‘Skip’ card causes your opponent to lose a turn.
Phase Rummy card game is quite challenging to win, especially since you need to constantly slow down your opponents, e.g. those who are have already advanced up the Phases ahead of you, and you always find yourself trying to guess which cards the person after you needs – and not provide him/her these cards. A fair amount of luck is involved; if you’ve been dealt a favorable hand of cards, it ensures a speedy Phase completion.
The various colors, the cool numbering, the Wild card and the Skip card make the game not only looks attractive, but also is attractive to play. Many of the young people have competitions with this game and the pressure of winning is high.
Surely now, you know the rules to Phase Rummy and once you master Phase Rummy rules, you are bound to win a game sooner than later.

Phase Rummy user reviews :
Love this game because there are few ads. Also, it doesn’t push me to purchase. One think I wish is that it would allow the user to adjust offline opponent ability. The computer generated players seem to be geared to make sure I always win. That gets old when there seems to be no real challenge in the opponent. Our internet is not always stable so playing online isn’t really an option.
I’m not sure if they are trying to improve anything based on my look through the reviews, but its a good game. Nice that you can play for free unlike the other phase 10 game. One thing that could be improved immediately is the ai for the computers
I thought my friends family made this game up. Iplayed it over 35 years ago and have never met one card player since and I have taught everyone I knew how to play it. Although it was played different each hand the rules are the same. I love it!
I like this game but please can you update it so you can input how much money you want to bet in the online mode it’s annoying having to do it by 100 when you have over 400,000 points and when you have sat there for 5 mins upping your betting amount and users leave you have to do it all again! Thanks
Needs lots of improvements: – Ability to rejoin the game in case of disconnected which happens a lot. – enhance UI – make coins useful and could be used to modify (avatars-theme-cards style-table style) – overall game is great but needs lots of work.
This game has issues it glitches somestime want let you play your cards,sometimes after you have played them it want give you the ok only cancel and it always takes your money this is the second time ive downloaded this game when my coins are gone think ill find another one
Fun to play. Ads aren’t obnoxious like so many games out right now. Wish you could change up the goals as part of the game but overall a great game.

Mechanical properties of ceramics and metals. Of particular interest is to understand how low temperature deformation twinning is related to plastic deformation by dislocation slip at elevated temperatures. Deformation twinning models for both basal and rhombohedral twinning in sap-phire, which are properly related to dislocation slip at elevated temperatures, have been estab-lished. The basal twinning model has been confirmed experimentally using TEM techniques. Cur-rent research involves studies on how to generalize this twinning model to other materials systems; i.e., metals, intermetallic compounds and other ceramics.

On Monday and Tuesday this week we completed all but two of the River Dulnain mainstem surveys. The remaining sites are in the upper reaches and each site entails a long drive in, these will be done as soon as an opportunity arises. Conditions were ideal, the river rose a couple inches at the weekend and the temperatures had cooled considerably from the recent highs.
The overall results were excellent with the fry counts almost double those recorded in 2015. The parr counts were much higher than in 2015, although those figures would have been affected by the ex-Hurricane Bertha spate (remember this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWS6ghvapuA )
We recorded considerable variation in the size distribution from site to site. The size distribution graphs from a selection of the sites are shown below (ordered in an upstream direction). The horizontal scale gives fish size in mm but note that the vertical scale varies according to the numbers present at each site. Bear in mind that these surveys consist of a standard 3 minute survey using a banner net to capture the fish. This methodology has been consistent since 2012.
Fry size varied a lot, and not always smaller with increasing altitude. Competition also has a big influence in this regard with the average size at the Duthil site (348 fry) being smaller than those at the Lochanhully site (85 fry). Upstream of Carrbridge the average size dropped e.g. at Feith Mhor and Dalnahaitnach. I suspect the enrichment entering the river at Carrbridge is an important factor in the increased average size, and biomass, of the juvenile stock.
The only other tributary location when the fry counts have entered the blue zone (more than 100 per minute) was in the Fiddich (in 2014 and 2017). The Dulnain, however, stands alone for a parr count in the blue zone (more than 100 in the three minute survey). The 125 parr caught in three minutes at the Lochanhully site was exceptional, the best we have recorded in the Spey catchment. Only once before have more than 100 parr been captured in one of these surveys; that was in the Spey at Aberlour in 2014. All the 2018 sites are being recorded on Gopro so check this link for an edited video of the survey Lochanhully.
Numbers are not everything when it comes to parr however. It is considered that a parr needs to be 90mm in lenght at the end of the summer to smolt the following year. From the size distributions I can see that at the lower site TSD02 90% of the 52 parr present will be large enough to smolt in 2019 (if they survive), only 16% at the Dalnahaitnach site are likely to make that threshold. This is a good thing as it spreads the smolt output from the strong 2017 cohort over more than one year.
The low water experienced in 2018 will inevitably result in some contraction of the juvenile stock in 2018, and this will need to be factored in, but perhaps not that significantly in the Dulnain. Water levels has increased from what I would call very low to low before most of these surveys were completed. The levels did not appear too dissimilar to other low water years in the Dulnain. We also watch river temperatures closely (they are measured at each site in advance) and we do not survey if the temperature is above 20oC. Consequently we did no surveying last Thursday and Friday at all due to the high temperatures forecast.
We plan to do the same style surveys for the Nethy and Druie tomorrow, it will be interesting to see if the Dulnain high counts are repeated. Most of the Spey mainstem surveys have already been completed, but not all. These results will be published once the surveys have all been completed.
All in all these results are very encouraging. | [

The Legacy of the Crystal has been a huge undertaking and in this episode, Darryl tells all!
That means there's a huge apology and explanation about the recent podcast absences, a long history about how the book came to be and a discussion about how the campaign has gone so far!
Thank you all for your support
With a State of Play and two release dates announced, it's been a busy few weeks for Square Enix!
Throughout this episode we discuss what the no show for Final Fantasy XVI at the State of Play might mean for delivering on their promise to show the game in 2021 and a 2022 release, as well as talking about the release dates for Final Fantasy V Pixel Remaster and Final Fantasy VII: The First Soldier!
It's been almost five years since World of Final Fantasy released and we thought it'd be nice to talk about the impact of the game, as well as what the future might hold!
Or at least, that was the plan, because this show has perhaps the longest introduction in the last few years, as Lauren and Darryl talk a lot about the impact of digital vs physical copies of games and some of the wider issues affecting the video games industry as a whole at the moment.
Tokyo Game Show 2021 has come and gone and there was a load of stuff to talk about following the press conference and subsequent live streams.
Throughout this episode discussions revolve around all of the games shown off during the conference (Triangle Strategy, Dungeon Encounters, Voice of Cards, etc.) and there's a more detailed talk about Stranger of Paradise and general thoughts about Square Enix's output in recent times, especially from the Western arm of the business.
Not only was there a huge speculative leak that happened in recent times, but the Tokyo Game Show is just around the corner!
It makes for an action-packed episode as we discuss not only the potential of a Final Fantasy IX Remake and Final Fantasy Tactics Remaster, but also the various games that could end up being shown at the Tokyo Game Show, including Stranger of Paradise and The First Soldier.
It's now been five years since Kingsglaive was released, so we wanted to reminisce about going to the UK premiere!
Housed within this particular episode are conversations about the location, what it was like to talk with some of the actors and production staff and some general thoughts about the movie itself!
World building has been a prominent focus over the years in Final Fantasy games and this episode we discuss some of our favourite aspects of the world we've seen.
Final Fantasy XII rounded out the PS2 era after numerous delays... but what would have happened if the delays weren't there?
That's our main topic of discussion today, as we discuss how the franchise might have changed if Final Fantasy XII had released when it was originally planned to, as well as running through the development philosophies Sakaguchi instilled and how they changed after his departure.
Final Fantasy X-3 has resurfaced again thanks to a brand new interview with prominent creators working on the Final Fantasy 7 Remake.
Throughout this episode, we talk about what that means for us fans while also discussing the imminent release of the Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters!
With Final Fantasy XVI skipping E3, one of the main topics of discussion is... when will we see it again? But that's not all!
Other topics discussed are the new games said to be in development by Hajime Tabata at JP Games and the results of the "The First Solider" Closed Beta survey!
It's been one hell of a ride, but Kingdom Hearts Union is coming to an end... for now!
Join us for this final episode, as Branden and Churro reminisce about their time on Kingdom Hearts Union, talking about how they got involved in the first place and what their plans are for the future!
It's a pretty big milestone for the podcast and we thought, why not celebrate by talking in-depth about Stranger of Paradise!
In all seriousness, we do talk about the game, but the whole first-part of the show is a fun quick-fire around between Darryl and Lauren about some of their favourite aspects of the franchise and we hope you enjoy!
It's time for an important announcement regarding Kingdom Hearts Union, so please join Branden for a State of the Kingdom Hearts Union address!
E3 2021 has pretty much wrapped up and there has been so much to talk about from Square Enix!
Throughout this episode, we have a lengthy chat about the reveal of Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin, as well as the Final Fantasy 1-6 Pixel Remaster collection and give some general thoughts about the Square Enix press conference as a whole!
Now that Kingdom Hearts Union X has wrapped up, it's time for the full finale spoilercast and there is SO MUCH to discuss!

Kashmir Post Burhan Wani: PM Modi to Review Situation on Tuesday
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday will review the situation in Jammu and Kashmir arising out of the fallout of the Burhan Wani encounter, soon after his return from a five-nation tour of Africa.
A senior government officer disclosed that the Prime Minister will be given a detailed presentation on the prevailing situation in Kashmir Valley.
NSA Ajit Doval, who was accompanying Modi, also cut short his visit and returned to Delhi on Monday to attended a security review meeting along with Home Minister Rajnath Singh, Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar and Finance Minister Arun Jaitley.
Earlier on the third day of violent protests against Hizbul’s poster boy Burhan Wani’s death, the death toll in the Valley rose to 23, including a policeman.
102 civilians and 100 security personnel were also injured in the bloody clashes. The government rushed 800 additional CRPF personnel to the Valley on Monday.
Wani, a Hizbul Mujahideen commander, and two others were killed on Friday after they opened fire on the security forces from a house in which they were allegedly hiding.
The police official claimed that the information of Ahmad and Khursheed’s death could not be made public due to “inadequate” communication facilities.
Security Forces Targetted
Three policemen were taken hostage by an angry mob in south Kashmir on Friday. The policemen returned safely, but their weapons were seized, police said on Monday.
A police constable drowned as a mob rolled down a bullet-proof police vehicle into the Jhelum river at Sangam in Anantnag district.
Four police stations, 36 civil administration offices and dozens of vehicles were destroyed by unruly mobs.
Normal Life Comes to a Stand Still
While mobile services reportedly remain suspended in four districts of south-Kashmir, a curfew-like situation has prevailed in the valley since Friday.
The south districts of Pulwama, Anantnag and Kulgam are the worst hit. Stone pelting incidents were reported from Sopore, Handwara, Bandipora and Baramulla in north Kashmir, the official said on Monday.
Shops, private offices, business establishments and petrol pumps were shut, while government offices and banks witnessed thin attendance, officials said.
Separatist leaders including Syed Ali Shah Geelani and Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, continue to be under house arrest while Mohammad Yasin Malik has been placed under preventive detention.

Chao Phraya dam water critically low
published : 20 Jan 2020 at 13:27
writer: Chudate Seehawong
CHAI NAT: The water in the Chao Phraya dam reservoir in Sapphaya district is at a critically low level due to the unrelenting and spreading drought, and the rate of discharge is again being reduced.
As of Monday morning, the water level on the northern side of the dam was at only 13.45 metres, below the standard retention level of 16.50m.
This indicates this year's drought is more serious than last year's, when the water level on Jan 20 was 15.60m.
If there is no fresh inflow from the North, the amount of water would fall below the operating level in four months, local reports said.
The Chao Phraya dam is currently discharging water at the limited rate of 75 million cubic metres per second - only enough to maintain the ecological system and push back the salty water in the Chao Phraya river.
Officials said water must be kept at an operating level for as long as possible as the dry season is unlikely to end soon. | [

The auto industry is constantly bringing us new technologies for safety, usefulness, entertainment or just for innovation. So what is in store for our future cars?
I explore two future car technologies which might just work. From what is being tested and on the road today, there are some ideas which could make it into car production.
First up: Cars that communicate with each other and the road
Car manufacturers and the US government is researching two technologies that would enable future cars to communicate with each other and with road objects around them.
Example: imagine approaching a junction as another car runs a red light. You don’t see them, but your car gets a signal from the other car that it is directly in your path and warns you of the potential collusion or the technology may go even further and hits the brakes for you automatically to avoid the accident.
A developing technology, aka V2V is being tested by car manufacturers like Ford as a method to help reduce the number of road accidents.
V2V uses wireless signals to send information back and forth between cars about their location, speed and direction. The information is then communicated to all the cars nearby to provide information on how to keep the cars safe distances between each other. Also what the best evasive action should be if another car started coming into its projected path. A study found V2V has the potential to reduce 79% of target vehicle crashes on the road.
However, V2V isn’t the only communication technology being considered, V2I (vehicle to infrastructure communication) is being tested as well.
V2I would allow vehicles to communicate with road signs or traffic lights and provide information to the vehicle about safety issues. Also request traffic information from a traffic management system and access the best possible routes. The national highway traffic safety administration reports state that using both the V2I and V2V systems would reduce all target vehicle crashes by 81%.
These technologies could transform how we drive and increase safety dramatically.
This leads me onto the second future technology example called Augmented Reality Dashboards.
In-Car Displays and GPS are great from getting us from A to B, and some more advanced cars have windscreen displays, but in the near future some cars will be able to identify external objects in front of the driver and display information about them on the windscreen.
Think of the Terminator, a robot looks at a person or an object and automatically brings up information about them and can identify who or what they are. AR will function in a similar way for drivers.
BMW has windscreen displays in some vehicles which displays basic information, but they’re also developing AR dashboards to identify objects in front of a vehicle and inform the driver how far they are away from the object. The AR will override information on top of what a driver is observing in real life.
So if approaching a car too quickly, a red box may appear on the car you’re approaching and arrows will appear showing you how to move into the next lane before you crash into the other car.
An AR GPS system could highlight the lane you need to move into and show you where you need to turn off, without you ever having to take your eyes off the road.
AR is also being used by BMW for vehicle technicians to use glasses to look at an engine, identify what parts need to be replaced and how to fix any problems. Toyota has produced working concepts to allow passengers to zoom in on objects outside of the car, select and identify objects, as well as view the distance of an object from the car using a touch-screen window.
AR is not yet here, but if the car companies have their way, we will be seeing it in our future cars further down the road.
These are two examples, but what new technologies for vehicles would you like to see? | [

Hans Selye (1907-1982) was a Hungarian doctor who knew more about stress than anyone in the world. He was who first coined the word'stress' in relation to health and who carried out most of the original studies into physiology of the stress reaction.
In the late 1930's Selye developed his theory of stress. He showed that living organisms have access to enormous reservoir of vital energy - what he called adaptation energy. On learning to draw on it and using it wisely the biological future of each individual life depends.
Selye feels differently about stress: 'it isn't how much stress you are subjected to but how you respond to it. This determines whether it causes you to break down or brings you joy.'
His book, Stress Without Distress, is a classic simple guide to stress and how to make it work for us and not against us. The book is a rich source of information about what stress is and what is not, how each of us have our optimum level of stress and how to live at it. It also tells why stress, when handled well becomes, as Selye says 'the spice of life.'
I highly recommend reading Selye's book for those who wishes to improve their response to stress. | [

Poultney is a great location for buyers who choose to stay fit by walking their daily commute with their neighbors.
With [an average listing price of $193,853], home prices in Poultney dropped by 1.7 percent this year, but the marginal decline did little to the overall market. During the same period, inventory declined by 15.2 percent. The number of listings in this vicinity noticeably dropped from 33 to 28 homes on the market last year, somewhat constricting the market for new buyers looking to move to this area. The residential properties with fireplaces in Poultney provide the warm, cozy atmosphere that is perfect for a night in with your loved ones. | [

Evanston Protected Lanes Face Backlash While Making Dodge Ave. Safer
Evanston installed new protected bike lanes on Dodge Avenue from Howard Street to Lake Street last month, and already some residents are complaining that the lanes have made it unsafe to park their cars. But these fears are unfounded because Chicago has had protected lanes with a nearly identical design for five years.
The new Dodge protected bike lanes replace conventional bike lanes that were located on the left side of the parking lanes, in the door zone. The new bike lanes are curbside with the parking to the left, separated from bike traffic by a striped buffer and flexible posts. It’s the same strategy that was used on Kinzie Avenue, Chicago’s first protected bike lane street, in 2011 and has been employed successfully on many more Chicago roadways since then.
I recently rode the Dodge Avenue PBLs and found them to be just as good as any that the Chicago Department of Transportation has installed. They’re also a little better than the first PBLs Evanston installed downtown on Church Street because the Dodge bike lanes are somewhat wider.
But some Evanston residents are up in arms about the new street configuration. “The new design makes it more hazardous for people boarding buses or getting into cars, because driver-side doors now open into very heavy, fast moving traffic,” a resident complained at a City Council meeting on Monday night, according to a report in Evanston Now. Actually, bus passengers aren’t affected by the protected lanes at all because the design still allows buses to pull up to the curb to pick up and drop off customers.
When I rode the Dodge bike lanes during the evening rush, motorized traffic was light, and vehicles were traveling at moderate speeds. That was probably partly because the street reconfiguration involved narrowing the existing travel lanes to make room for the PBLs, a type of “road diet,” which discourages speeding. While the new layout may put parked cars a bit closer to moving traffic, the traffic is likely going somewhat slower than before. Another benefit is that the bike lanes shorten crossing distances for pedestrians.
Some meeting attendees also argued that the new bike lanes make it challenging for emergency vehicles to travel on Dodge Avenue, according to Evanston Now. However, reporter Bill Smith added that he observed a fire department ambulance making its way down Dodge from Church Street to a nursing home near Howard at the end of Tuesday’s a.m. rush, and the ambulance seemed to have no trouble navigating the street.
That isn’t to say that the design of the Dodge lanes is perfect. One issue is that drivers turning right across the protected lanes are given wide turning radii at some of the intersections, and there’s only paint at the far end of the bike lane buffer zones, rather than a physical barrier. That makes it easy for drivers to make fast turns across the bike lane, which could result in “right hook crashes.”
The city of Evanston has attempted to mitigate this issue by posting lots and lots of warning signs. One sign tells bicyclists to watch for turning vehicles and the other tells turning motorists to stop for bicyclists and pedestrians.
Another problem is that there’s a gap in the protected bike lanes on the block of Dodge south of Oakton Street, by Dawes Elementary School. Interestingly, 8th ward alderman Ann Rainey, who originally opposed the protected lanes, called that unprotected section “unfortunate” and “terrifying” at Monday’s meeting, according to Evanston Now. Mayor Elizabeth Tisdahl responded that the city would take another look at that section and try to improve safety there before the school starts up again.
Normally, when CDOT designs bike lanes so that they drop out at an intersection – which is unfortunately very common – they at least install bike-and-chevron “shared-lane markings” to indicate where cyclists should ride and remind motorists to watch out for bikes. There are so such markings on Dodge, and bike riders must share one extremely wide lane with motor vehicles.
One more issue is that since the northern terminus of the Dodge protected lanes is Lake Street, by Evanston Township High School, they don’t link up with the PBLs on Church Street, two blocks north. That’s a missed opportunity.
These criticisms aside, it’s great that Evanston is starting to build a protected bike lane network. Hopefully the city will hold its ground in the face of calls to remove the Dodge lanes. While protected bike lanes were once controversial in Chicago as well, they’re now fairly ubiquitous and well accepted, and it’s likely we’ll see the same learning curve in Evanston. | [

The nearly two million refugees ukrainians who managed to leave the country in the midst of russian invasionaccording to data from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), will have one more challenge to settle in their new destinations.
The few who managed to take some cash will have to deal with the devaluation of the Ukrainian hryvnia, the currency that lost the most value in February 2022: a drop of 6.6% against the dollaraccording to a study by the rating agency Austin Rating prepared at the request of the CNN Brasil Business.
This basically means that those who have left the country will find it more difficult to exchange money to start their lives over in their new destination.
In the main destinations, the currency used is the eurowhich, even before the hryvnia’s devaluation, was already much more valued than the Ukrainian currency.
However, with little global relevance, the devaluation of the Ukrainian currency generates few external impacts, since, in addition to not being part of the European Union and not the euro zoneUkraine is not a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (nato).
The study compared the value of the coins on the last day of the previous month (January) with the last day of the month in which the study was closed (February).
Alex Agostini, chief economist at Austin Rating, says that “what is expected of these immigrants is governmental support, starting with social support. They need to recover, and then the economic recovery can begin.”
“The whole situation was very unexpected, it is likely that most of them had no money. And, whoever had something, probably didn’t have time to go to the bank, make a withdrawal, transfer, nothing. It was not possible to take any preventive measures, convert to euro, nothing”, he evaluates.
Other countries involved in the conflict and the affected region are also among the nations with the most devalued currency in the period. The ruble, currency Russialost 6.4% of its value and had the third biggest drop.
Belarusan ally of the Kremlin and considered the last dictatorship in Europe, saw the Belarusian ruble lose 5.9% of its value, becoming the fourth most undervalued.
It was the same level reached by the tenge, Kazakhstan. Close behind appears the lari, from Georgia, devalued by 3.8%. For Agostini, the phenomenon has to do with the reversal of expectations.
“There is a great contagion from the conflict to other economies, because the war directly impacts trade. What was believed before is that, with the war power it has, Russia would achieve greater persuasiveness and face less resistance, which did not happen”, says the economist.
“Early on, the ruble suffered a strong devaluation, and Russia raised the interest rate from 9.5% to 20% in just one day.”
International projections indicate that the number of Ukrainian refugees could reach five million, which would represent about 12% of Ukraine’s population.
If this data is confirmed, the country would be responsible for second largest refugee diaspora, surpassing the four million Venezuelans but trailing the 6.7 million Syrians, according to UNHCR data. The information is from the 2021 report.

NOAA Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory (GLERL) in collaboration with researchers from the U.S. and Canada have initiated one of the largest, most comprehensive Lake Erie research field programs ever conducted. The project, the International Field Years on Lake Erie (IFYLE), began in May 2005, with a focus on hypoxia and harmful algal blooms.
The Lake Erie ecosystem faces wide and varied threats to its health and integrity, including harmful algal blooms (HABs) in the west basin, recurring low oxygen episodes (“dead zones”) in the central basin, and invasive species. Each of these threats has the potential to disrupt normal food web and ecosystem processes, and in turn, jeopardize the ability of Lake Erie to provide valued ecosystem services (e.g., recreational and commercial fish production, safe drinking water, and clean, bacteria-free beaches).
The three primary objectives of the IFYLE program are to:
The IFYLE program involves approximately 40 scientists from NOAA, 17 different universities, and private institutions spread across 7 states and 4 countries. This program is integrative, given involvement by numerous US and Canadian universities and federal, state, and provincial agencies, and serves as an example of how NOAA and other federal agencies are fulfilling the Presidential Executive Order (#13340) to execute the Great Lakes Regional Collaboration among agencies. | [

Pain facts for kids
Quick facts for kidsPain
|An illustration of wrist pain
|Unpleasant sensory and emotional sensations
|Typically depends on the cause
|Physical, psychological, psychogenic
Pain is a distressing feeling often caused by intense or damaging stimuli. The International Association for the Study of Pain defines pain as "an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with, or resembling that associated with, actual or potential tissue damage."
Pain motivates organisms to withdraw from damaging situations, to protect a damaged body part while it heals, and to avoid similar experiences in the future. Most pain resolves once the noxious stimulus is removed and the body has healed, but it may persist despite removal of the stimulus and apparent healing of the body. Sometimes pain arises in the absence of any detectable stimulus, damage or disease.
Pain is the most common reason for physician consultation in most developed countries. It is a major symptom in many medical conditions, and can interfere with a person's quality of life and general functioning. People in pain experience impaired concentration, working memory, mental flexibility, problem solving and information processing speed, and are more likely to experience irritability, depression and anxiety.
Simple pain medications are useful in 20% to 70% of cases. Psychological factors such as social support, cognitive behavioral therapy, excitement, or distraction can affect pain's intensity or unpleasantness.
First attested in English in 1297, the word peyn comes from the Old French peine, in turn from Latin poena meaning "punishment, penalty" (also meaning "torment, hardship, suffering" in Late Latin) and that from Greek ποινή (poine), generally meaning "price paid, penalty, punishment".
The International Association for the Study of Pain recommends using specific features to describe a patient's pain:
- region of the body involved (e.g. abdomen, lower limbs),
- system whose dysfunction may be causing the pain (e.g., nervous, gastrointestinal),
- duration and pattern of occurrence,
- intensity, and
Chronic versus acute
Pain is usually transitory, lasting only until the noxious stimulus is removed or the underlying damage or pathology has healed, but some painful conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis, peripheral neuropathy, cancer and idiopathic pain, may persist for years. Pain that lasts a long time is called "chronic" or "persistent", and pain that resolves quickly is called "acute". Traditionally, the distinction between acute and chronic pain has relied upon an arbitrary interval of time between onset and resolution; the two most commonly used markers being 3 months and 6 months since the onset of pain, though some theorists and researchers have placed the transition from acute to chronic pain at 12 months. Others apply "acute" to pain that lasts less than 30 days, "chronic" to pain of more than six months' duration, and "subacute" to pain that lasts from one to six months. A popular alternative definition of "chronic pain", involving no arbitrarily fixed duration, is "pain that extends beyond the expected period of healing". Chronic pain may be classified as "cancer-related" or "benign."
Pain can be treated through a variety of methods. The most appropriate method depends upon the situation. Management of chronic pain can be difficult and may require the coordinated efforts of a pain management team, which typically includes medical practitioners, clinical pharmacists, clinical psychologists, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners.
Inadequate treatment of pain is widespread throughout surgical wards, intensive care units, and accident and emergency departments, in general practice, in the management of all forms of chronic pain including cancer pain, and in end of life care. This neglect extends to all ages, from newborns to medically frail elderly. In the US, African and Hispanic Americans are more likely than others to suffer unnecessarily while in the care of a physician; and women's pain is more likely to be undertreated than men's.
The International Association for the Study of Pain advocates that the relief of pain should be recognized as a human right, that chronic pain should be considered a disease in its own right, and that pain medicine should have the full status of a medical specialty. It is a specialty only in China and Australia at this time. Elsewhere, pain medicine is a subspecialty under disciplines such as anesthesiology, physiatry, neurology, palliative medicine and psychiatry. In 2011, Human Rights Watch alerted that tens of millions of people worldwide are still denied access to inexpensive medications for severe pain.
Acute pain is usually managed with medications such as analgesics and anesthetics. Caffeine when added to pain medications such as ibuprofen, may provide some additional benefit. Ketamine can be used instead of opioids for short-term pain.

It’s not because of the lengthy rumored possibility of both All-Pros teaming up on the San Francisco 49ers — which per CBS Sports’ Josina Anderson on Thursday, November 24 has no sign of happening with the NFL insider leaving out the Niners on OBJ’s reported December visits.
Instead, it was because of this Instagram post that left many wondering if Beckham was cryptically mentioning OBJ with this Instagram post:
As it was, Rob “Stats” Guerrera of Niners Nation on SB Nation mentioned the IG post in a tweet and included how Samuel “declined to make a pitch” for OBJ to come to S.F. in a previous November 10 interview.
Some fans began wondering if Samuel was referencing Beckham in the caption — with some saying “They don’t need him” and another saying “my chances at a 49er Odell jersey is diminishing before my eyes” on Twitter.
Samuel, though, decided to clear the air and reveal where he got the idea of the caption.
Instagram Caption Was Inspired by Grammy Winner
Samuel clarified on Black Friday that his IG post had nothing to do with Beckham. Instead, the inspiration behind the caption was from Grammy-winning Hip-Hop artist Lil’ Baby.
“Lol the media outta control. My caption on my insta post ain’t have nothing to do with obj. Literally lyric from @lilbaby4PF relax lol.” Samuel tweeted.
There were fans who rushed to Samuel’s defense.
Others, however, questioned the timing of the tweet.
Nevertheless, Samuel and OBJ have shown to have mutual respect toward one another — especially when OBJ was seen consoling Samuel following the 49ers’ NFC title game loss to the Los Angeles Rams to Samuel tweeting his support for OBJ once he went down with the torn ACL during Super Bowl 56.
And turns out “we don’t do recruitin'” was in reference to the Grammy winner who’s worked with past renowned Hip-Hop names like Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj, T.I., Kanye West, The Weeknd and Drake.
Will Deebo Samuel Play in Week 12?
Now for a more pressing question involving the 2021 Pro Bowler: Will he suit up and play against the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, November 27 at Levi’s Stadium?
Samuel has been hampered by a hamstring injury. The 49ers opted to limit him during practices in preparation for the NFC South visitor.
The 49ers resumed practice in Santa Clara on Black Friday. And captured on film by ESPN 49ers reporter Nick Wagoner was Samuel going through drills.
Kyle Shanahan then took to the podium after practice to reveal Samuel’s status: Questionable.
The sixth-year head coach was then asked if Samuel’s hamstring stems from a previous ailment he was dealing with earlier this season.
“No, it was something different,” Shanahan explained. “We got back at like seven in the morning, I’m sure he went home and slept for a while. It was a little weird day. He didn’t feel it much on Tuesday. Got the information on Wednesday and then we were safe about it.”
Samuel was one of two 49ers on Shanahan’s injury report. The other was defensive end and part-time defensive tackle Arik Armstead, who Shanahan listed as doubtful for the upcoming contest.
Meanwhile, Samson Ebukam was not listed on the injury report. The Athletic’s David Lombardi posted that the edge rusher will play Sunday. | [

Gardening has been a happy place for so many of us over the past few years, even those of us with no outdoor space. Undeterred, we’ve grown whatever we can indoors.
Among the most intriguing projects I’ve come across is growing an oak tree indoors. If you’ve never tried to germinate acorns, you must give it a go.
It’s fairly easy to grow an oak tree from an acorn indoors. You’ll need to move it outside eventually (unless you bonsai), but can grow an oak tree to sapling stage right in your home.
Here’s how to grow foraged acorns into a mighty oak.
How to grow an oak tree indoors – step by step
What you need:
- Resealable freezer (ziplock) bag
- Small 5-8cm pots with drainage holes
- General potting compost
- A moisture-holding medium (vermiculite, oak leaves, sawdust, compost, etc)
- Gloves (optional)
1. Gather your acorns
First, you need to find yourself some acorns to germinate. No shop-bought seeds here! This project is a little more hands on, but all the more rewarding for it.
Who doesn’t love a woodland walk, crunching through fallen leaves in the crisp autumn air (sorry, I know it’s crisp fall air for my American and Canadian friends).
It’s great fun to pull on your walking boots and go a-foraging. On your walk, don’t pick up the first acorns you see – you’re on a quest to find the best.
The fatter the acorns, the better
Bring home a handful of the freshest, biggest, plumpest acorns you can find. You should be able to find plenty to choose from.
A handy way to check the freshness is to try and remove the cap (with fresh acorns, it should come away easily). Discard any that are damaged, green, dark, soft, or nibbled.
It’s best to bring a few acorns home so you can start off several and choose the strongest seedling. This will give you the best chance of growing a healthy oak tree indoors.
Once you’ve got them home, do another quick freshness test. With their caps taken off, drop them in a bucket of water.
Leave them for a couple of hours. Any bad acorns will be floating on the surface, so throw those ones away. Dry off the good ones.
2. Prepare (stratify) your acorns
Given how they naturally grow, falling in September/October and sitting dormant over winter, acorns need a cold snap to prime them for growth.
To simulate that indoors, you can refrigerate your acorns to keep them cool and moist enough to germinate. This process is called stratification.
Fill your freezer bag with a moist (but not wet) medium like vermiculite, oak leaf litter or compost, push in the acorns and seal the bag.
Pop it in the fridge and leave it for about a month and a half, checking every so often to make sure it doesn’t dry out. You can add a little moisture if needed, but not too much.
3. Plant them up
After 40-45 days in the fridge, your acorns may have started to sprout – hoorah! But even if they haven’t just yet, you can still get them planted.
Fill your pots with compost to about an inch from the top. Plant an acorn into each one, just beneath the surface with the narrow pointy end down.
Water well, label them and place the pots in a brightly lit spot (a south-facing windowsill is ideal). Over the coming weeks, keep the compost moist. Never let it dry out completely.
Germination should happen 2-4 weeks after planting. Growth will be slow initially as the acorns put most of their energy into developing roots.
By 8-10 weeks after planting, you should see some green shoots appearing. At this stage, try and remember to turn the pots regularly (a half turn a day is perfect).
This will make sure your seedlings get exposure to light on both sides, which should keep them growing nice and straight.
All being well, by late spring you should be the proud owner of some sweet oak saplings standing around 6-8 inches tall. Congratulations!

4. Harden off your oak saplings outside
Once they have their second set of leaves, you can start to introduce your oak saplings to the outside world.
Oak trees aren’t able to stay indoors forever as they need periods of dormancy, and the warmer temperatures in our homes don’t allow it | [

THE DISCIPLE. O Lord my God, You have created me in Your own image and likeness. Grant me this great grace, so necessary to my salvation, that I may conquer the base elements of my nature, (Rom.7:23) that drag me down into sin and perdition. Within my being I can feel the power of sin contending against the rule of my mind, leading me away an obedient slave to all kinds of sensuality. I cannot resist its onslaughts, unless Your most holy grace is poured glowing into my heart to help me.
I need Your grace in fullest measure, to subdue that nature which always inclines to evil from my youth up.(Gen.8:21) For it fell through Adam the first of men, and was tainted by sin, the penalty of that fault descending upon all mankind. Thus the nature which You created good and upright has now become the very symbol of corruption and weakness, for when left to itself, it leans always towards evil and base things. The little strength that remains is only like a small spark, buried beneath ashes. Yet this same natural reason, though hidden in profound darkness, still retains the power to know good and evil, and to discern truth and falsehood. But it is powerless to do what it knows to be good, neither does it enjoy the full light of truth, nor its former healthy affections.
Thus, 0 Lord my God, it comes about that, while I inwardly delight in Your law, (Rom.7:22) and know Your commands to be good, just, and holy, (Rom. 8:12) both for the condemnation of all evil and the avoiding of sin, yet in my body I serve the law of sin (Rom.8:25) and obey my senses before my reason. Hence, while I indeed possess the will to good, I find myself powerless to follow it.(Rom 8:18) In this way, I make many good resolutions, but, through lack of grace to support my weakness, any small obstacle causes discouragement and failure. Thus, too, I know the way of perfection, and see clearly enough what I ought to do; but I am borne down by the burden of my own corruption, and advance no nearer to perfection.
Lord, how urgently I need Your grace if I am to undertake, carry out and perfect any good work! Without it, I can achieve nothing; but in You and by the power of Your grace, all things are possible. Phil.4:13) 0 true and heavenly grace, without which our own merits are nothing, and our natural gifts of no account! Neither arts nor riches, beauty nor strength, genius nor eloquence have any value in Your eyes, Lord, unless allied to grace. For the gifts of nature are common to good men and bad alike, but grace or love are Your especial gift to those whom You choose, and those who are sealed with this are counted worthy of life everlasting. So excellent is this grace that neither the gift of prophecy, nor the working of miracles, nor any speculation, however sublime, is of any value without it. Indeed, not even faith, or hope, or any other virtue is acceptable to You without _love and grace.
0 most blessed grace, that makes the poor in spirit rich in virtues, and the richly blessed humble in heart! Come, descend on me! Fill me with your comfort,(Ps 40:14) lest my soul faint from weariness and dryness of mind I pray, Lord, that I may find favour in Your sight, for Your grace is sufficient for me,(2Cor.12:9) even if I obtain none of those things that nature desires. However often I am tempted and troubled, I will fear no evil (Ps.23:4) so long as Your grace remains with me.
Your grace is my strength, my counsel, and my help. It is more powerful than all my enemies, and wiser than all the wise. It is the teacher of truth, the instructor of doctrine, the light of the heart, the consoler of affliction. It banishes sorrow, drives away fear, fosters devotion, and moves to contrition. Without grace, I am nothing but a dry tree, a barren stock (Ecclus.6:3) fit only for destruction. Therefore, 0 Lord, let Your grace always lead and follow me, (Collect,Trinity 17) and keep me ever intent on good works, through Your Son Jesus Christ. Amen.

Expert Urges FG to Embrace Telemedicine
A US-based Nigerian Assistant Professor of Family Medicine, Dr. Oyetokunbo Ibidapo-Obe, has called on the federal government to embrace the adoption of telemedicine to reduce the effects of the mass exodus of Nigerian medical practitioners to Western nations.
This was revealed during an interactive radio programme titled ‘Digital Life’ on Nigeria Info, which aims to bring both Nigerians and the government closer to global technological realities.
The session, which was titled ‘Tech Advancements and Telemedicine,’ featured intellectual conversations around the need for the practice of telemedicine to be embraced by the government across all levels to enable Nigerians, particularly those residing in rural communities, to have access to quality healthcare services. This is because telemedicine thrives on the strength of technological advancements to connect people to medical doctors irrespective of their location.
Commenting on the need for the massive adoption of telemedicine across the country, Ibidapo-Obe noted that the successes recorded nationwide during the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic could be built upon to deepen the healthcare infrastructure in Nigeria which could also serve as a stopgap to the mass exit of Nigerian doctors.
“The outbreak of COVID-19 played an integral role in bringing the practice of telemedicine to the forefront across the globe, including in Nigeria. This is because telemedicine proved to be the most viable option for containing the risk levels of COVID-19. As such, to ensure telemedicine succeeds amongst those at the grassroots level in Nigeria, deliberate efforts must be put in place to ensure adequate resources are available to both the healthcare providers and the users of the telemedicine services nationwide irrespective of their social status,” she said. | [

(MENAFN- UkrinForm) President Petro Poroshenko has called for changing the conditions for the transit of Russian natural gas to Europe so that the European Union buys gas on Ukraine's border with Russia, rather than on the country's western border with the EU, as is the case now.
He stated this in his annual address to the Verkhovna Rada on Thursday, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.
"We are waiting for a decision by the Stockholm arbitration court under a lawsuit from Naftogaz to Gazprom on transit issues. Due to the fact that the contract is expiring in 2019, our task is to achieve the revolutionary change in the organization of transit with the help of the European Union. In particular, Europeans should buy Russian gas on the eastern, rather than on the western border of Ukraine. And Ukraine should provide high-quality transit services to the European Union, rather than to Russia," Poroshenko said.

Hunters are reminded that coyote hunting is closed in the northern third of the state during the gun deer season. This closure extends across northern Wisconsin from east of Wausaukee, near Michigan on the east, to St. Croix Falls on the Minnesota border on the west. The coyote closure extends through the firearm deer hunting season, Nov. 22 through Dec. 10, and any Zone T hunts in northern Wisconsin.
The coyote hunting closure during the deer season has been in effect since 1987 to protect the gray (timber) wolf population in Wisconsin, according to Adrian Wydeven, mammal ecologist with the Department of Natural Resources. Gray wolves are listed as threatened species by the state and federal government. The state of Wisconsin is going through a process to remove wolves from the endangered and threatened species list this fall, and may complete the process sometime in 2004.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service may conduct a federal delisting process in 2004 and wolves may possibly be removed from the federal list in 2005.
"Although most timber wolves generally reside in the heavily forested portions of the north, and central Wisconsin, some wolves occasionally travel outside these area," the ecologist said. Coyote hunting will continue to be open across the rest of the state, including the central forest areas between Black River Falls and Wisconsin Rapids that currently contain 12 to 13 wolf packs.
Isolated wolf packs or lone wolves may also occur in other areas including the following: the Mead Wildlife Area in southern Marathon County, Colburn Wildlife Area in northern Adams County, western Marquette and Washara Counties, Door County, western Oconto County and possibly other areas of the central portions of the state.
Gray wolves are protected species throughout the state including areas where coyote hunting is allowed. Deer hunters outside of the closed zone who plan to shoot coyotes should be careful to identify their targets. Wydeven said a person shooting a wolf may be fined $5,000 or more, plus face a prison sentence.
There are several ways to differentiate between wolves and coyotes the biologist explained. Wolves generally weigh between 50 and 100 pounds, while coyotes are about 20 to 40 pounds. Wolves have long legs and large feet; shoulder height for wolves is usually 27 to 33 inches, while for coyotes are usually 20 to 22 inches.
Differentiating between color is more difficult, Wydeven said. He explained that wolves and coyotes are similar in color, although wolves may sometimes be somewhat darker. The tail of wolves and coyotes hang either down or straight out, but never curled as in some dogs. Coyote ears are more pointed and larger than wolf ears. The muzzle of a wolf is large and blocky while coyotes have a more pointed or fox-like appearance. Footprints of wolves in the snow usually exceed 3.5 inches without the claws, while coyote’ tracks are less than 2.6 inches.
A good ruler for measuring tracks is a 30.06 or 270 bullet. This bullet is about 3.2 inches long. If dog-like tracks are much larger, they are more likely wolf (or large dog), and if smaller, are likely coyote or medium-sized dog.
Along with timber wolves, hunters should also be aware of other protected species such as elk and moose. Both of these are large members of the deer family and protected by state law. Elk were introduced into northern Wisconsin in 1995 near Clam Lake, and currently about 120 occur in Ashland, Bayfield, and Sawyer counties. A 5- to 6-month-old elk calf is about the same size as a full grown white-tailed doe, but can be distinguished from deer by dark brown color, and yellow rump patch.
Moose wander into the state from northern Minnesota and Michigan and a small population exists in northern Wisconsin. Although moose look very different than white-tailed deer, the antler of a yearling bull looks somewhat similar, Wydeven said. Normally is large, horse-size, dark body, very long legs, and large snout easily identify moose.
Even with very liberal antlerless deer seasons, hunters are reminded that not all large, brown four-legged animals are fair game. As with all hunting seasons, hunters are reminded to be absolutely sure of their target before they shoot. Mistakes in identification can be very costly.
Hunters are also reminded to report observations of wolves, elk, moose and other rare mammals to the nearest DNR office. Information on the date, location, and description of these animals helps the DNR to determine distribution of rare mammals in the state. | [

Ever felt the need for more horsepower. The RS-25 engine has more that you need. 12 million horsepower. Fuel pumps that could drain a swimming pool in a minute. 200 Horsepower/kilogram power to weight ratio. One blade of its turbine produces as much horsepower as a Corvette ZR1 You may find it hard to fit on your bike though. The SR-25 ex space shuttle engines are being tested with the goal of using them on the new Space Launch System (SLS). While the shuttle engines were re-usable they will be single use on the SLS. Current testing is aimed at peaking the performance and simplifying the design for single use roles. RS-25 Meeting the Need for Speed. | [

We're one step closer towards confirming that William Shatner will appear in the third installment of the rebooted Star Trek franchise.
Bad Ass Digest is reporting that the untitled sequel contains a scene where Chris Pine's Kirk and Zachary Quinto's Spock meet their own timeline's future selves. The elder Kirk and Spock would be played by none other than Shatner and Leonard Nimoy. Bad Ass Digest was cautious to point out that despite being portrayed by Nimoy, this film's elder Spock would be different from the one in J.J. Abrams' Stark Trek and Star Trek: Into Darkness.
This development builds on the recent news that Shatner is indeed interested in doing future Star Trek films. At a Wizard World panel in September, Shatner revealed that J.J. Abrams had asked him if he would want a role in Star Trek: Into Darkness' sequel.
Shatner said he told Abrams, "It depends on what you do with the character, but I would be delighted."
Though the next Star Trek does not have a solid release date yet, it is shooting for a 2016 release. Hard to think of a better gift for the franchise's 50th anniversary than a big screen reunion for Shatner and Nimroy, isn't it? | [

A CCTV drain survey is a new technique to find out problems related to drain and pipes. It is a beneficial method to find out the problems without wasting too much time and is also used for drain repair. It is not expensive as some people may consider, the expert workers send a small camera in the pipes to determine the problems.
When there is a problem in our drain systems (especially when the pipes are buried in walls or in the ground), we always wished we had a superpower to be able to see the insides of the drain pipes and see what is causing the problem, which will then help us to know the right or best solution to the problem. However, because we can only see the problems on the outside of our drain pipes, it is quite impossible for us to easily determine the type of problems disrupting the normal flow of our liquid waste. This inability to ascertain problems in our drain system leads to the damage of drain pipes and the resultant spending of considerable amount of money on repairs and replacements. Apart from the loss of asset and money, problems in the drain system also leads to health hazards and some inconveniences in the home.
Most of the times, issues with drainage system is much more than what we think and there is always a better way of tackling any issue, including cleaning or unclogging drains. Before anything could be effectively and efficiently done as far as drainage system is concerned, an inspection needs to be carried out first and there is a limitation to what the eyes can do in this case. That is when a CCTV drainage survey and inspection is needed. “What does it entail?” you might want to ask. | [

I don't really want to be writing about this now. I had hoped to spend today theorizing obscurely about liquidity. But, after reading (via Felix Salmon) the apologetics of a bunch of prominent economists for inequality (here, here, and especially here — or here via Mark Thoma, to get around Times Select), I just have to go off half-cocked a bit.
Earth to Economics Professors! Earth to Economics Professors! In this, the real world that we inhabit, There Is No Such Thing As A Pareto Improvement. An increase in inequality (or an increase in equality for that matter) always helps some people and hurts others in a variety of ways. Period.
You can claim, if you like, that the harms people experience by increased inequality are outweighed by other benefits, even to the harmed. But the dimensions along which people are harmed and helped are incommensurable. Conventional economic simplifications like "real income" do not capture the full effect of the changes. And we need not and should not, resort to emotional fairy tales like "spite and envy" (as in a previous blogospheric inequality controversy) or "inequality of happiness" (an unfortunate addition today by the usually excellent Tyler Cowen).
Increases in wealth to the wealthy can harm the less wealthy in many ways that don't show up in "real income" stats. Here are two important but often overlooked examples:
1) Inaccessibility of public goods for which superior private substitutes can be purchased
Consider almost anything that is arguably a "public good" — parks, well-paved roads, transportation in general, schools, medical care, social insurance, personal security. Private substitutes are available for nearly all of these goods, to those who are sufficiently wealthy. Who needs a park, when one can buy a home with a lovely back yard? Is it worth paying high taxes to keep the roads smooth, when one can purchase an SUV, or a helicopter, that is not bothered by potholes, and is more comfortable and functional than an economy car anyway? Speaking of cars, should we just invest in an excellent streetcar and/or subway system, and not spend so much money on roads? Should we accede to higher taxes to support well appointed public schools, or do we prefer strictly private education? Should I support taxes to fund the police, when in any case I am going to require expensive private security?
Rational individuals will answer these sorts of questions very differently, depending on their circumstances. To those for whom the marginal utility of a dollar is low, buying superior private substitutes for public goods will appear to worthwhile. They will oppose government purchase of these goods and the taxation required to support it. But, poorer people will find the dollar cost of private substitutes to be burdensome, and will rationally choose less expensive state provision via inferior public goods. Choices have to be made. We build a comprehensive subway system, or we don't; we buy and maintain a new park, or we don't; we tax to fund more policing, or we don't. Increases in inequality (particularly increases in the numbers and the political influence of the relatively wealthy) shift the likelihood that we opt for private provision of what could be provided in an inferior manner, but at lower cost-per-person, as a public good. Poorer people are forced to pay more for a service than they would have under the policy they would have chosen, or to do entirely without services that might have been provided them inexpensively by the state.
2) Goods and services become expensive, or fail to be produced at all, under inequality, due to reduced economies of scale and increased resource prices.
The mix of goods and services produced by a society is affected by the distribution of wealth in that society. It is easy to see that luxury goods might fail to be produced in very equal societies. Suppose, counterfactually, that we could have an economy in which goods and services are produced as efficiently as they are currently, but with no inequalities in wealth or income, everyone earns the same, current US-average income. The market for Lamborghinis would dry right up. But the converse holds as well. Suppose that the same society is divided into two groups, one wealthy enough such that the superior performance of a Lamborghini is clearly worth the extra expense, and another group whose wealth is roughly the current US-average. The poorer group will be adversely affected by the sudden good fortune of their neighbors. As the market for economy cars will be cut in half, economies to scale in auto production will be adversely affected. Car companies might be the first to take a hit, as they will have already sunk costs based on now violated scale expectations. But new lines of economy cars will have to be designed more sparely, or else priced more expensively, in order for car companies to build profitable econoboxes. The scale effect is exacerbated if, plausibly, | [

A double win at the Giro d'Italia Donne and the eight stage Tour de France Femmes is "possible", for a "big champion", Elisa Longo Borghini has said.
Speaking at a Trek-Segafredo training camp, the Italian champion said scheduling both races for July wasn't her preference, but riders had to "accept it" and do everything they can to be in their "best shape for both races."
Both the ten-stage Giro d'Italia Donne and the eight-stage Tour will take place in July, while the men's editions take place in May and July respectively. Longo Borghini is down to ride both prestigious stage races.
She said: "It would be great if the Giro could be May straight after the men's Giro, then it would give a better structure to the calendar. This season it's like this and we have to accept it and go with it, and do everything to be in our best shape for both races.
"Or maybe go to the Giro having in the head that we want to be very strong at the Tour. For me it's prestige to be at the start line of both races, and I would not choose only one, at least not this year."
The last man to win both the Tour and the Giro in the same season was Marco Pantani in 1998; with both women's races happening in July this year there is a chance that one woman will attempt both.
"It depends who is taking the start at the Giro and what she wants from the Giro too," Longo Borghini said. "I see some riders going into the Giro with a good block of training. It needs to be a hard Giro where people can train hard rather than staying at home. I think it's possible to do the double, but you have to be a big champion to do so."
The route itself is "very exciting", she said. "All the girls that were at the presentation told me that it was something really big, and the expectations are really high. I want to stand with my feet on the pavement, and not fly too much, and be there fighting all the time. This is the only thing I am able to do."
Longo Borghini, who won four individual races in 2021, including the GP Plouay and the Trofeo Alfredo Binda, said that she would like to go to the inaugural Tour de France Femmes with an "open role".
"I would like to go there with an open mind and also an open role," she explained. "If you just focus on the overall, then you put too much pressure on yourself. It's good to be there and just dive into the race, and see what's happening at every stage, and try and get away with a stage win."
The strength of Trek-Segafredo comes from its "unity", Longo Borghini has said, explaining that the environment within the team is "really good".
"We have a very good strong point, which is our unity. We can switch roles during the race pretty easily, and the environment is really good. We like to race for each other and with each other, and it can be natural who is the leader. Sometime we decide during the race too."
There will be a new Italian at Trek-Segafredo in 2021, another Elisa, Elisa Balsamo. The young rider won the World Championship road race for Italy back in September.
The pair have a good relationship, according to Longo Borghini, as they come from the same police department and they raced the Italian championships together.
"I think Elisa is a very talented rider, as you can see," she said. "I have always had an eye on her when she was younger, because in my opinion she can still grow a lot and grow into a very good classics rider. I'm very happy to have her on the team."

President Uhuru Kenyatta finally makes Ukambani tour
By Allan Mungai
| July 9th 2021
President Uhuru Kenyatta makes an elaborate tour of Ukambani today after previous postponements.
The president is on a development visit of Machakos and Makueni counties, which has been scaled down to cushion locals against risk of Covid-19 exposure. He will inspect key projects, including the multi-billion shilling Konza City in Machakos and Thwake Dam in Makueni.
The Ukambani tour comes after it was cancelled twice and amid talk of disagreement between local leaders over who would receive him. The president’s itinerary skips Charity Ngilu’s Kitui County, where he visited on June 25 for the Marian Shrine of Our Lady of Protection in Museve launch.
In compliance with Covid-19 regulations and his directive against public gatherings, the tour will be an invite-only for local leaders.
On Tuesday, State House released a statement after a second meeting with Uhuru and local leaders, led by Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka, governors Alfred Mutua (Machakos) and Ngilu as well as Senators Mutula Kilonzo Jnr (Makueni), Agnes Kavindu (Machakos) and Enoch Wambua (Kitui).
According to State House Spokesperson Kanze Dena-Mararo, the postponement was to avoid making the tour a Covid-19 ‘super-spreader’.
“It is notified that whereas His Excellency the President remains keen to assess the impact of his administration’s transformative projects and programmes across the country, in this instance he will make a scaled-down inspection of identified projects in the Lower Eastern region,” Dena-Mararo said on Tuesday.
Kalonzo said yesterday the consultative meeting with the president agreed on phased visits to the region.
On Wednesday, Kalonzo toured Konza and Thwake ahead of Uhuru’s visit.
He refuted claims that political wrangles among local leaders led to the phased visits by the president, adding that the community was united on development.
He said Wiper was still the party to beat in the region and dismissed Dr Mutua as seeking validation from the president’s visit.
“A few individuals are spreading rumours that there are differences and that it is the reason why the president did not come, but that is all nonsense,” said Kalonzo.
The tour will begin at Konza City near Machakos town, followed by inspection of the Kibwezi-Mutomo-Kitui road and conclude with inspection of the Sh43 billion Thwake Dam.
The dam is being constructed by China Gezhouba Group Company.The project is expected to provide water to the water-scarce region as well as serve as a 20 MW hydropower generating plant. It will also control flooding by regulating downstream flows to River Athi.
The water supply from the dam will provide 50,000 m3/day of treated water to around 1.3 million residents of Kitui and Makueni counties and Konza Techno City in Machakos. The government also plans to establish an irrigation scheme to irrigate 40,000 hectares.
Uhuru’s trip has brought to the fore the differences among governors of the three counties. Makueni Governor Kivutha Kibwana sardonically tweeted on Wednesday that Kalonzo had come out of the woodwork yet he has never visited any of the projects in the region.
“For the first time, Kalonzo has visited Thwake Dam ahead of the president’s Ukambani tour. Today he said he is John the Baptist,” Kibwana said.
