Well, I must stand corrected. Your information is exactly right.
I spoke again to my mother and tried to "push" her a bit about some of these details. At that point she remembered she had an old shoe box of some things. In the box was what appeared to be an "autograph book" that had belonged to Kathryn. Among the entries was one from a sister named Lizzie Sullivan and another from a sister named May Y Sullivan (Mary??). Another entry was signed "Your friend and schoolmate, Ursuline College, Feb 21, 1889." Another was signed "your friend Lizzy M Barlow" and another "your friend Anna Barlow, May 3, 1888". Many of these entries were addressed to Katie Sullivan. My mother had been unaware of these other sisters. The Barlow friends certainly locate Kathryn in Grand Forks in the late 1880's.
Also in the box was a newspaper clipping describing the marriage of "Miss Kittie Sullivan to Oscar Mercer, now of Great Falls, Montana". The clipping is a fragment without a date and does not appear to be the same one you discovered. But clearly you were correct about this.
So, the John Sullivan age 53 living in Grand Forks, Dakota Territory, in the 1880 Census must be the father. The brothers aren't listed I suspect because they were older and probably living under a different roof. The John Sullivan in 1870 Census seems less certain.
However, I was able to find reference to an Ursuline school that opened in Grand Forks in Sept 1883, later becoming known as St. Bernard's Academy.
What do you suggest from this point? Obtaining marriage record for Kathryn and Oscar; Kathryn's death certificate?
My mother remembers seeing at some point a Civil War discharge paper for John Sullivan but can't find it now. I know if I had his unit/regiment I could research the regimental history for mention of him. I appreciate any suggestions.
And I can't thank you enough for what you've already found.
p.s. I will visit my mother next month (opposite coast, I'm afraid) and plan to view the contents of this box personally. But other than a lot of photos, she didn't see any other printed material. | [

A new self-guided audio tours app released by DCT Abu Dhabi is changing the way locals and travellers explore the city, with the first 25,000 downloads of the five tours available free of charge.
To celebrate a fresh year of travel and adventure, The Department of Culture and Tourism Abu Dhabi (DCT Abu Dhabi) has launched Voicemap app, a new initiative that allows tourists and residents to explore the Emirate through self-paced audio tours.
The new app is said to be a particularly appealing immersive experience, as travellers worldwide opt for more individualised experiences in place of group tours in light of the covid-19 pandemic.
Using the Voicemap app, residents and visitors alike can now explore Abu Dhabi at their own pace, through audio tours covering not only Abu Dhabi city but also Al Ain and Al Dhafra.
With heaps of content to tap into, every corner of the emirate is now within reach for intrepid, inquisitive residents who want to learn more about their home, and visitors who prefer to venture beyond the organised tour groups.
The initial five audio guides are:
- Abu Dhabi Skyline Tour
- Modern Heritage Tour of Downtown Abu Dhabi
- Al Hosn Architectural Tour
- Al Ain Nature and History Tour
- Liwa Forts Tour
The guides are set to take users from ancient times into the present, with the freedom to explore, learn and share. The informative tours provide in-depth looks at a variety of topics and reveal fascinating insider information that is not available anywhere else.
DCT Abu Dhabi says the new audio guides will allow users to immerse themselves in the history and modern culture of Abu Dhabi in ways not previously possible.
The first 25,000 downloads of the five tours are available free of charge.
Once the Voicemap app is downloaded, there is no need for a WiFi or 3G/5G connection. Since it is a digital experience, users can pause and pick up the tours at their own convenience.
More self-guided audio tours are already planned for other must-see attractions in the emirate in the future.

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has recently approved a groundbreaking new drug called Xolair, developed by Genentech, to treat severe food allergies. This medication is the first of its kind to be approved by the FDA for the treatment of multiple food allergies, including those to milk, eggs, walnuts, and peanuts.
Xolair is designed to be taken repeatedly every few weeks in order to reduce the risk of severe allergic reactions over time. However, like any medication, it does come with potential side effects. Common side effects of Xolair include fever and reactions at the injection site, as well as the risk of triggering anaphylaxis.
The cost of Xolair may be a concern for some patients, as it ranges from $2,900 a month for children to $5,000 a month for adults. However, many patients may find that the cost is lower with insurance coverage.
In addition to its recent approval for the treatment of severe food allergies, Xolair is already FDA-approved for the treatment of persistent asthma, chronic hives, and chronic inflammatory sinus disease with nasal polyps. A study sponsored by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases found that Xolair was effective in helping some patients tolerate foods they are allergic to. In fact, 68% of peanut allergic patients were able to consume 2.5 peanuts without symptoms after 4 to 5 months of treatment with Xolair.
Overall, there is currently no cure for food allergies, with about 1 in 16 adults in the US affected by food allergies according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The approval of Xolair represents a significant advancement in the treatment of severe food allergies, offering hope to many patients who struggle with these potentially life-threatening conditions. | [

There's nothing wrong with the CGI and most of the other VFX. The score
is wonderful. The story somewhat comical and endearing in places.
That's the good.
The bad is that this movie is the ultimate in form over content. The plot has more holes than Swiss cheese, the logic of none of the characters makes any sense and the childishly superficial character traits are laughable. It's offensively dumb.
All of this might work if there was somehow a good core to the movie, but sadly it doesn't have what it takes to become a true cult classic either. You can tell a story with stereotypes, sure. And perhaps the makers were just going for a movie that was zef. But none of that explains the mess that Chappie is in the end.
If you want to put a movie on that offers nice visuals, robots running around and shooting and some Die Antwoord tracks, Chappie is for you. Check social media and listen to some Spotify while you do it and play a game on the side - because that's what this movie is for: cinematic wallpaper.
Although the premise is slightly darker (allowing Besson to mix in
Asian mob tropes) and the ending certainly better, Lucy is still just
another Limitless. But where Limitless at least managed to get a thrill
going and didn't dwell too long on the flawed premise of the movie,
Lucy gets stuck on it and revels in it.
It's never a pain to watch Scarlett Johansson, but this isn't a performance she will be remembered for and the script doesn't give her much to work with either.
Some entertaining visuals and certainly decent sound, but even there Besson is like a raving movie fan on your couch, remembering cool stuff from other movies and putting it in, when all you really want to do is turn in and get some sleep. Trying to guess the'references' could be fun, perhaps.
(and no, we really *don't* use only 10% of our brain capacity, this goes in the same bin as ghosts, flying saucers and Bigfoot - that doesn't affect the rating of the movie though)
.. but this movie was actually a rather fun experience. There's a lot
of gratuitous violence and crude language, so if that puts you off,
skip this movie.
But the structure actually makes sense and the movie has decent momentum. The soundtrack is right on target at some times, OK at others. Visually, the movie has a consistent and strong style, though the freeze-frames are not so strong.
I liked the performances, though if you have seen the trailer, don't expect better jokes - it definitely spoiled some of the better ones. But on the whole, most roles are genuinely funny and work in their own way; maybe the Rock isn't exactly helping the "true story" angle in his performance, but comically it works.
Still, there's plenty of Michael Bay here to deter the real haters. Generally I'm no fan of the man's work, but considering his history, I think Pain & Gain is actually somewhat redeeming. Not for everyone, but nice as an OK action romp with a moral of sorts.
District 9 was a little rough around the edges, but you were inclined
to forgive quite a bit for the original story, the zany acting and the
over the top look.
However, no such luck for Elysium. It has great Hollywood actors acting like logs, the plot is so full of holes, you can fly the ISS through it and trying to make sense of it assaults your intelligence. Too bad it's not so bad it's funny, like Escape from LA.
In the end, Elysium is hopeless and only worth watching for the OK special effects in places. There are a few clever gadget ideas in there as well, if that's your thing. But quite frankly, reading a fan website (if any exist) will probably get you more satisfaction in that department and it won't cost you the hour and a half I wouldn't mind getting back.
Neill Blomkamp shouldn't deserve another big budget shot, after this major disappointment, if you ask me.
Why anyone would give M. Night Shyamalan money to make new movies, is
beyond me. The Sixth Sense wasn't exactly Otto e Mezzo and after that
it's been a wild tumble downhill. And Will Smith apparently needs to
stay away from writing material and just act fun, perfect son-in-law
characters or tongue in cheek action heroes. And Jaden, well... I'm
sure there's lots of careers he can pursue that he will be successful
The acting in this movie is painful. The plot is ridiculous. The science fiction is pure | [

These 9 Big Buts You Should Avoid When Dating
When you’re in a healthy relationship with elite city escort party models, everything just kind of clicks. While every relationship goes through ups and downs, if a relationship is consistently unpleasant and draining for the people in it, to the point that negative moments outweigh and outnumber the positive ones, then it turns into toxicity. Any toxic relationship implies there is something potentially damaging for the person (or both people) in that relationship. It could be a sign that things need to change in a relationship. However, you should avoid certain buts to overcome the trap of a love relationship.
But I love her/him
Of course, you love your high class girl, that’s why you are in a relationship, isn’t it? Staying in a relationship because you love her so much but not the same case from her side? Trust us, we understand that ending a relationship with someone that you love most is one of the most difficult things to do, but it is truly necessary sometimes. It is difficult to say this but love isn’t enough always. It isn’t enough to make up for the unhealthy patterns in your relationship or your partner. Sometimes partying, enjoying time alone, spending time reading books, etc, might also be required apart from love. And if your female partner doesn’t appreciate this fact then it is better to leave her. This will make both of your lives easy and healthy.
But he/she loves me
This one is common. This comes with so much worry and anxiety that you will never find another blond like her who loves you “this much” again. However, we should recognise that love alone is not a good enough reason to stay in a relationship that continually hurts us. It is hard to stay in a relationship that you can’t just give your all 24/7 to her. You should move on, you will be able to find someone again, even though it may seem like an impossibility at the time.
But he/she has all quality
This one is such a big setback as you moving on dating. You are finally with your elite city escort party models, according to all love gurus out there, they seem like perfection armed with all qualities. However, it just isn’t working in your reality. Maybe there’s no chemistry between you as it suggested on paper, it doesn’t show up in life. This is not a good justification to stay. Checking all your boxes for the sake of checking them will ultimately catch your love life and destroy the supposedly happy and fulfilling relationship. To overcome this, revisit your list of qualities in a partner and put some thought into what it is that isn’t working about this “perfect” partner. Because if it’s not working, you may not want to move any further.
But he/she promised you to change
You may have heard it several times in a relationship but still, the promise of change leave a little bit of hope for a high class girl. If he or she promises to change his toxic behaviour, give them a chance for a few months. Let him/her move along with you, so you can hold herpes onto some hope Regularly observe if there is a consistent improvement by gathering new insights and working on their issues. However, if the problematic pattern continues to repeat 24/7 after repeat and their efforts fall apart after the threat of you ending the relationship has died down, then chances are your partner will not change forever. Few chances are ok in any relationship that is meant to be lifelong. More than that? You are just wasting your time and energy on your toxic relationship and partner who is resistant to making a meaningful change.
But we’ve been together for long
The more you’ve been in a relationship, the harder it is to leave. It doesn’t necessarily make it any easier. This one is going to be hard as you have so much attachment with your female partner. It is going to hurt. But you can be certain that you’ve given the relationship enough time to see whether or not it is going in the right direction. You can be confident that you’ve given enough chances to her and even yourself, spent enough time seeing progress and you’ve gone through all ups and downs. Don’t let “but we’ve been together forever” be the only reason you’re staying in a bad relationship.
But he/she understand me more
As you progressed in a relationship, your busty will understand you better than anybody else. You have been together for a long time, gone through so much together. She will understand every side of you. However, this can also set a trap in a relationship. You can not just escape from a bad relationship just because of one reason “But she understands me more”. This can be devastating for you as an individual. This can lead to guilt and low esteem. In some extreme cases, it might lead to a mental breakdown. | [

Here's a project I took on some time ago after we bought our son one of those plastic electric cars. There were two problems with it: 1. my son is too young to know how to operate the wheel and pedal and 2. when he did press the pedal the car would launch forward full force giving him a nice whiplash.
I wanted to install a simple ramp up/down circuit that I control with a cable while walking behind the car. That, somehow, morphed into the current implementation that took nearly 2 months to complete and it would have taken longer if not for my loving wife's encouragement in the form of "are you gonna finish that before he's 18???".
Briefly described, the system consists of a 900 Mhz based remote/base control with speed, steering and direction. There are also late add-ons like a horn and headlights. Starting with the base, a visual basic program interfaces the USB joystick and base radio. It shows the car's "speed", steering along with battery voltage and amperage consumption. The program has a loop that reads the joystick position plus several buttons status, builds a protocol packet and sends it to a serial port where the radio is connected via USB. The transmit packet sends speed, forward/reverse, emergency stop, steering position, headlights on/off and horn. There's also a couple of spare bits if needed. The receive packet has voltage, amperage and current steering position along with a few spare bits as well.
On the car side, there's the H-bridge main motor drive built around the Intersil HIP4081A. If I may say, not my favorite chip when used in a 12V battery application. It's doing the job now but it gave me some trouble due to it's board layout and power requirements. It seems to lock up and shoot-thru when going under voltage. I was expecting the UV feature to simply disable the drive. At any rate, it works ok now after eating a few FETs.
The steering drive was built around the Texas Instruments TPIC0108B. This is a very easy to use H-Bridge chip with a 6-18V input range and 5A output. It takes up to 40V input dumps so it's well within it's safe range for this application. It was nice to throw the chip on a PCB with a couple of external components and have it work right the first time.
The main logic board on the remote side has the Wi.232, 900 Mhz ISM radio by Radiotronix. This is a small footprint radio module which is also easy to use. It can be configured to be as transparent as a serial cable. When coupled to the right antenna, the range can be extended to around a mile line-of-sight, possibly more. After a couple of bumps when configuring the radio, I decided to write my own config VB program to make it easier in the future. The radio runs off a 3.3V power source so I added a KA78R33 regulator along with the 5V regulator used in the rest of the circuit.
Also on the main logic board is the microcontroller in charge of keep order around. I'm a big fan of the Atmel ATmega8 which I use for nearly all of my projects. If you're not familiar with the M8, it has onboard ADC, timers, interrupts, I2C, comparator, watchdog, flash, in-circuit programming, bootloader.. the list goes on. All of that for about $4 a piece. Anyway, the ucontroller takes the protocol packet from the radio at 38,400 baud and parses out the control bits. It sends the speed and steering commands to their respective modules and updates the base with voltage and current measurements. It also handles the headlights and horn commands. I wrote a current limiting loop to prevent motor overload/overspeed but it hasn't been used yet. The typical current consumption hovers around 2.5A so all is safe.
Because this car runs on a battery and my son also has another RC car that uses NiCADs, I thought it would be a good idea to build a universal charger. After some researching, I settled on Maxim's MAX1648 chip. I used their reference design, added a thing here and there and cut the PCB. Just when I'm ready to solder their part, I noticed they never actually shipped my order. I called them up and they told me they were pulling the plug on that part and recommended another. I'm not happy at this point. So I had to come up with something useful using what I had already built. I ended up with a working charger for lead acid, NiCad, NiMH.. there's also a profile for Li-ion but I haven't tried that yet.

I’m a freediver. I dive deep into the ocean without scuba gear. The ocean is where I work and, for most intents and purposes, where I live.
On one breath I leave the surface and kick my way down to where the liquid turns black. The sun is only a memory. Water presses in on me from all sides squeezing me harder than I think I can survive. But it’s still only water. Kicking, I fall deeper and deeper. Down there, the ocean feels like my private ocean. I’m reminded: I am water.
Your body is around 70 percent water, same as our planet. And your body remembers a time of total submersion beyond what our terrestrial antics can explain. You have a deep-rooted, age-old mammalian diving response that kicks in as soon as you pop your face in the water.
The underwater reflex is a series of adaptations for ocean submersion that water-loving Homo sapiens shares with whales, dolphins and seals. We are perfectly adapted for time under water. We have an inner seal living inside of us. Like cogs in a vast machine, this response is set in motion as soon as your face is submerged in water.
To freedive is to feel the deep ancestry of our species—and to know that our species is still adapted to life under water.
Prinsloo freediving in Cocos Island.
‘Aha,’ the aquatic mammalian inside you says, ‘ we are freediving!’ and whoosh bradycardia sets in: brady– slowing down, cardia– of the heart. The heart rate drops dramatically slowing down the circulation and usage of precious oxygen! As the carbon dioxide levels in the blood rise, the aquatic mammal gears up for auto-vasoconstriction. Blood vessels in the arms and legs constrict, shunting blood back to the core of the heart-lung-brain combo where oxygen is used more essentially and efficiently.
The breathing reflex of our terrestrial body is making itself heard. Your diaphragm contracts to try to force you to breathe. But you don’t have to. It’s not a final reflex we have to obey. And the aquatic mammal knows this is a false alarm! You still have lots of oxygen, hidden oxygen reserves—especially in the human spleen, which like that of deep diving seals, responds to heightened carbon dioxide levels by contracting and releasing the oxygen rich reserves of hemoglobin into the blood.
And it’s when you’ve discovered your inner aquatic animal that you can experience the ocean as just another creature, not an interloper with a big, bubbling gas tank. The beauty of our oceans—even in their current overfished, polluted state—becomes yours to explore.
Today is World Oceans Day, which is a moment to recognize the place where we came from, and where we can return at least temporarily.
You don’t need a lot of equipment, money or time to reconnect with our beautiful oceans. Just grab a mask, snorkel and fins and walk on in. Feel the weightlessness of your body in water, enjoy the quiet, the solitude and beauty of total submersion.
In honor of World Oceans Day, we’re asking you to take one step—big or small—toward saving your ocean. | [

We constructed an optical parametric amplifier with BiBO crystals, which was injection seeded by a phase-modulated cw beam in the 1,040-1,070 nm region. Two-stage pre-amplification by Yb-doped fibers were implemented for stable injection to the OPA. The frequency chirp in the OPA pulse was actively controlled by adjusting the RF wave for the phase modulation and its synchronization to the OPA firing. Down/up chirps with up to 500 MHz shift were demonstrated. The output pulse energy was ~40 mJ, which is sufficient for future application of frequency conversion and coherent population transfer.

Tunable nanosecond (ns) pulsed lasers with single-longitudinal mode (SLM) operation are significantly useful for atomic and molecular spectroscopy, since detailed spectroscopic information can be obtained owing to the narrow bandwidth of the light sources and a variety of nonlinear spectroscopic approaches can be implemented due to the high peak power of the ns pulses [1,2]. Furthermore, high spectral coherence of the pulses allows us to realize rapid adiabatic passage (RAP), which drives coherent population transfer from an initial quantum state to a target state with 100% efficiency. So far, all the experiments on RAP in the ns regime have employed optical or static electric fields with varied strengths to induce “avoid crossings” of light-dressed states. If the spectral amplitudes and phases of ns pulses are actively controlled, as have already been realized by the pulse shaping technology in the ultrafast, i.e., femtosecond (fs) to picosecond (ps) time domain, applicability of RAP can be vastly expanded [4,5].
In the fs/ps pulse shaping, ultrashort pulses are spectrally dispersed and each frequency components are manipulated by using light modulating devices [4,5]. These schemes cannot be employed in the ns regime because of the narrow bandwidth of SLM pulses. In the use of continuous-wave (cw) light, on the other hand, highly sophisticated modulation of amplitudes and phases has been realized owing to recent developments in optical communications. In the present study, we incorporated the advanced cw modulation methodology with pulsed amplification by using an injection-seeded optical parametric amplifier (OPA), to obtain shaped ns pulses with high peak power. So far, there have been many reports on injection-seeded ns pulsed optical parametric oscillators (OPO) [6–9]. Though the OPOs afford narrow-bandwidth pulses with high peak power, it is highly demanding to couple an arbitrarily modulated seeding light with the optical cavity used in the OPOs. OPA will be an ideal approach in respect of its cavity-free operation. However, it has a drawback, i.e., difficulty in stable injection seeding by weak cw beams, and this may be the reason for scarcity of successful reports on narrow-band OPA [10,11].
To maintain stable injection-seeded OPA operation, we adopt a modular approach; the experimental setup is composed of an external cavity diode laser (ECDL) as a cw light source, an optical phase modulator (OPM) for providing appropriate modulation to the seeding light, a pair of Yb-doped optical fibers (YDF) for pre-amplification of the seeding beam, and an OPA to have final outputs with desired pulse energy. The OPA was pumped by the second harmonic of a Nd:YAG laser, and the wavelength of the seeding cw light was ca. 1,050 nm. The pre-amplification provided >200 W peak power of the seeding light, which was essential to sustain stable injection seeding in the OPA and to attain an output power at a desired level. In the present setup, BiBO was selected as nonlinear crystals because of its large nonlinear susceptibility, and the final output energy of ~20 mJ/pulse was obtained for each of the signal and idler waves. By appropriately adjusting the RF modulation frequency and depth as well as the timing between the RF wave and the OPA firing, we realized (almost) linear frequency chirps, with frequency shift up to 500 MHz during the 8 ns pulse width of the OPA. The time-dependent frequency shift was monitored in real time by employing optical-heterodyne (OH) measurements. In what follows, we describe the experimental setup, discuss its characteristics, in particular, about the control of frequency chirp, and conclude by mentioning its possible application.
Schematic of the present experimental setup is shown in Fig. 1. The coupled power of ~8 mW from a home-built ECDL, operating in the wavelength region of 1,040-1,070 nm, was amplified to ~1 W by passing through an polarization-maintained (PM) YDF (15 μmϕ core, 130 μmϕ clad, 2 m long; Nufern PLMA-YDF-15/130) pumped by the 3 W output from a | [

PG&E is in the final stages of decommissioning Unit 3 of the Humboldt Bay Power Plant, the former nuclear power plant that operated from 1963 to 1976. PG&E will hold a meeting to update the public on the current status of the decommissioning on Wed. June 19, 6 to 8 p.m. at the Wharfinger Building, 1 Marina Way in Eureka.
For more information, please contact the PG&E Humboldt Bay Power Plant at (707) 444-0700.
The nuclear power plant, Unit 3, was commissioned in August 1963, and operated as a 65 megawatt natural circulation boiling water reactor with Atomic Energy Commission License #7. Unit 3 was shut down in 1976 for refueling and seismic upgrades. Repairs subsequently extended the planned shutdown period and in that interval, there were significant changes to nuclear safety standards for reactor operation and design.
Ultimately, the decision was made that further modifications were not economical, and that Unit 3 would not be restarted. In 1983, PG&E announced its intention to decommission Unit 3, and in 1986, PG&E requested an NRC license amendment for SAFSTOR, a condition which would permit Unit 3 to store nuclear fuel, but not operate. This SAFSTOR license was received in 1988.
The HBPP Nuclear Decommissioning Project was approved by the PG&E Executive Project Committee on October 6, 2009.
The decommissioning of Unit 3 is scheduled to be complete by December 31, 2015. Work at HBPP involves a number of projects, some completed, and some continuing.

Feedback from Greg Tang's 2016 Workshops:
"The best math conference I've attended in years! Love that Greg gave us the nuts and bolts to helping students develop thinking processes for math. I hope everyone teaching our youth attends a Greg Tang workshop ASAP!"
"This workshop helped me make connections in ways that the other professional developments have not been able to. I love how common sense Greg's approach is. Love it, love it, love it!"
"This was my first Greg Tang workshop and 3 days later, I am still talking about it and I don't anticipate that changing anytime soon! I transitioned from education 5 years ago and in one workshop, Greg has brought me up to speed. Granted, I still have lots to learn, but he gave me the foundational support I have been looking for all year. I am excited to start working with my teachers on number bonds, fluency, and reasoning skills. Thank you!"
"I thought this workshop was invaluable in showing not only strategies that teach the conceptual understanding but also are applied all through a child's math journey. Magical!" | [

Add ING analyst Rob Carnell to the list of folks that just refuses to believe Friday’s shocking unemployment report.
His basic contention, via FT Alphaville, is that the report was too good to be true, ergo it must not be true.
In our view, the only potential fly in the ointment of this labour report is how believable it is. Payrolls has been making very, very slow progress in recent months, and such a dramatic turnaround will raise eyebrows, and may not be taken at face value by many. An improvement in the payrolls series always looked on the cards from last month. But most of the labour market data in the run up to this release had been consistent only with a very small step forward, so we may need to see this backed up again next month before concern about the labour market can really be filed away as ‘last year’s worries’.
Further support for the turnaround in the employment sector came from hours worked – which gained 0.2 hours on the month, helping to push weekly earnings higher. Hourly earnings continued to decline and now stand at only 2.2% YoY. But they lag employment growth by up to two years, so it would be a bit early to expect much improvement here.
In contrast to the weak November non-manufacturing ISM survey’s employment index yesterday, which registered only a small increase from very low levels, the service sector apparently generated 58K jobs in November. Strong gains in temporary help jobs (usually a retail sector phenomenon) were a big factor here, so anecdotal reports of relatively soft retail sales in November may see some of these jobs rapidly removed after the end of the year, once sales have finished (if demand does not improve).
We are also slightly curious about the apparent surge in government jobs, which on revision have risen by more than 50K in the last two months. When state and local finances are in such a deep mess, even the Obama fiscal package is unlikely to have generated this rapid turnaround in the public sector. More believably, goods producing, construction and manufacturing jobs all saw continued large falls.

Abaco Systems unveils Release 2.0 of its ImageFlex image-processing and visualization toolkit. Leveraging the power of GPU technology, ImageFlex provides an easy-to-use API framework to considerably speed and simplify the development, optimization and maintenance of advanced AI applications, particularly those targeting autonomous vehicles.
ImageFlex masks the complexity of the underlying software layers, while maintaining high performance. By providing an OpenGL abstraction layer (no OpenGL experience is required) it can reduce the number of lines of code required by a factor of five, thereby reducing the effort and time needed to create, test and maintain the application.
New features include:
- Tools and reference examples enabling AI-based applications to be deployed on Abaco's NVIDIA®-based GPU products.
- Provision of a reference target tracking example - a core building block for tracking applications.
- High quality, GPU-optimized image stabilization.
ImageFlex is complementary to the company's NVIDIA GPU-based GVC1000 and GVC2000 hardware platforms, which use the NVIDIA Jetson supercomputer on a module for AI computing at the edge. This allows the creation of complete solutions for Degraded Visual Environment (DVE), 360° situational awareness, helmet mount sight processing, target identification and tracking and other EO/IR processing applications. It is portable across a range of graphics processing architectures and operating systems, and is potentially safety certifiable.
The ImageFlex API provides functions for a range of image processing operations from simple image transformations through to more complex lens distortion correction and image morphing. It includes optimized, high quality image fusion, stabilization, tracking and distortion correction algorithms, as well as a comprehensive set of reference application examples that provide core software building blocks. ImageFlex also provides tools and reference examples demonstrating how to integrate with sensors and deploy artificial intelligence-based applications such as object detection and recognition.
In addition, ImageFlex provides an image-fusion function that can fuse image data from multiple sources of different resolutions. The algorithm adaptively adjusts to pull through the regions of highest contrast in each source to a produce a fused result, enabling an observer or processing stage to act on the combined information of the sources.

Having cancelled the 2020 fair we unfortunately also had to cancel the 2021 fair. In terms of our funding situation the 2020 financial year incurred costs of £7,400 and the 2021 financial year will incur (fixed) costs of around £3,000. Taken together these have a large impact on the reserves we hold – reserves we need to pay our suppliers in the event of a last minute or emergency cancellation (eg Southampton Boat Show).
The £10 admin fee for each stall holder booking refund is noted in our terms and conditions and will help to cover some of the annual costs like insurance, rental and legal fees, that we have to pay regardless of whether the fair happens.
Our current understanding of government guidance is that unlike other businesses we have no employees (we are entirely volunteer supported), pay no rates, trade only once a year and so don’t qualify for any of the existing support schemes under COVID-19. Like other business who provide outdoor events we are working with trade organisations, eg the Events Industry Forum, to redress that but at the moment it appears we don’t qualify for any grants.
This admin fee money will therefore go towards ensuring that the Fair can happen in 2022 and we thank you for your understanding. | [

The idea that the US government was previously more honest than lately has been a popular idea… for centuries. It is based of course on a particular perception about past honesty.
Those who independently study the nature of government may encounter some simple facts about all governments. (Note that in order to distract the masses from independent research, governments often make it a high priority to program the masses with pro-government propaganda through indoctrination systems of schools which may be government-regulated, or even government-funded or, in the most extreme cases, even operated by governments.)
The mainstream media is similar (though in the US, the media is not as socialized as the primary school system). If you care to research the history of US government pro-war propaganda, two good sources are War is a Racket by USMC Major General Smedley Butler (1935)
Throughout the years various men of military service have spoken up and….
There is also this book from 1928 in which the nephew of Sigmund Freud (who was also the founder of the PR industry) details how he invented inflammatory anti-German propaganda in order to incite antagonism in the US public so as to reduce the resistance to the first US invasion of Europe (what later became known as “World War One”)

Apex Flex: An All-Perovskite Tandem Technology Suitable for Solar-Powered Vehicles
While single-crystal silicon holds a majority of the market share for photovoltaic (PV) solar cell sales, perovskite cells hold at least as great a share in market excitement. Their efficiency continues to climb, and costs continue to fall. Their use in flexible, high-power producing panels could outshine other materials, and with a manufacturing time and cost easily besting competitors’.
But that future is contingent on a perovskite puzzle—how to create stable, full-perovskite tandem cells. Now, an NREL team led by David Moore and Axel Palmstrom has found the final two pieces to the puzzle.
NREL’s new perovskite material, marketed as Apex Flex, broke through two design barriers to arrive at a solar cell that is flexible and stable enough for car-top application at a cost 200 times less than flexible PV technologies of similar specific power. In doing so, Apex Flex realizes the full benefits of perovskite materials—low-cost, high production rate, and high specific power—as a tandem cell that layers two perovskite materials with a combined efficiency higher than any other thin-film technology outside of III-V materials.
“The demonstration of high specific power, flexible PV, with the cost and throughput of solution processes, is a great outcome,” said David Moore, NREL scientist and co-creator of Apex Flex. “But the greatest part of this project is the opportunity to work with the best PV scientists in the world; not just the perovskite researchers, but from all of the PV technologies that help and inform what we do.”
The puzzle pieces that NREL’s team discovered were helpful in overcoming design bottlenecks, which had previously restricted perovskite tandems to dependence on silicon (and thus inflexible), or under-performance in efficiency, caused by chemical instability in the cells.
Part of the puzzle involved a new wide-bandgap perovskite layer, able to withstand heat, light, and operational tests, while providing a reliable and high voltage. The bottleneck in previous designs related to material instability—light would cause chemical segregation within the material and a resulting breakdown in efficiency. The Apex Flex team overcame this issue by altering the layer’s crystal structure using a different molecular alloy. Their result: a continuously tunable bandgap cell with high stability and efficiency.
Naturally, the final piece of the puzzle involved connecting the team’s new wide-bandgap perovskite. Between the two perovskite materials, NREL’s team engineered a new recombination layer while retaining common architectures and manufacturing paradigms. In previous designs, the interconnection region contained small shunt paths that reduced efficiency. Rather than replace current approaches, the NREL team got creative. Through some thoughtful changes to the manufacturing, NREL created a dense and thin recombination layer that eliminates shunt paths and is around 80% thinner than previous technologies.
A detailed account of both breakthroughs was published in the Joule article “Enabling Flexible All-Perovskite Tandem Solar Cells.”
“Pairing more than one metal halide perovskite absorber in a single solar cell enables a truly differentiated solar technology that is high-efficiency, low-cost, and lightweight,” said fellow co-creator and NREL scientist Axel Palmstrom. “This collaborative effort has brought all-perovskite tandems closer to commercial reality, and we are excited to see their real-world applications in the near future.”
Together, NREL’s missing pieces have made a new sort of perovskite cell available. Outside of III-V (spaceship-quality) cells, Apex Flex introduces the only continuously adjustable bandgap cell, the highest potential efficiency cell (37%), and the highest reported efficiency for thin film (24.5%). Apex Flex can be manufactured with high-speed, roll-to-roll methods and is projected to have the highest production rate among competitors. Compared to its only performance-based competitor, III-V materials, Apex Flex is 200-times lower cost.
Apex Flex has resulted in two patent applications that were quickly licensed for commercialization by Swift Solar, which sees opportunity to apply the lightweight and efficient cells in trucking and electric vehicle industries, in addition to broad grid deployment.
The future of wearable and flexible solar panels could truly start with Apex Flex. And like all perovskites, it has much opportunity to grow. While Apex Flex already produces 10 times as much power as current flexible PV technologies, at a lower cost, its potential efficiency is still higher. Conversely, the 25–30-year lifetime required for residential or utility PV systems is currently beyond the reach of Apex Flex. But the strides in stability described above have introduced Apex Flex to the market of vehicular application, and | [

Erie, which has won two of its past three G League games, hosts Oklahoma City on Friday night.
The Erie BayHawks have a chance to win back-to-back games for the first time this season Friday night.
Erie will host the Oklahoma City Blue for a 7 p.m. tipoff at Erie Insurance Arena before going on a three-game road trip.
The BayHawks are coming off a 121-114 victory at Westchester on Saturday. Jalen Adams and Aubrey Dawkins scored 20 points apiece.
Erie has won 2-of-3 games after ending a five-game losing streak. It now looks to recapture success at home; the BayHawks have dropped their last two contests at EIA.
Two-way guard Josh Gray continues to lead the G League in scoring, averaging 24.9 points per game. He is tied for third in steals (2.6) and ranks ninth in assists (7.3).
Jalen Adams has also provided some production in the BayHawks backcourt, averaging 19.0 points and 4.6 assists.
Zylan Cheatham, a two-way post-player, averages a double-double (15.3 points, 11.6 rebounds). He ranks third in the G League in boards.
The Blue is on a two-game winning streak, taking both ends of a home-and-home against Sioux City.
Oklahoma City’s top player is two-way guard Luguentz Dort. He had 24 points during the Blue’s 103-90 win against Erie on Dec. 20 at the G League Winter Showcase in Las Vegas.
Dort was a teammate of Cheatham’s at Arizona State last year. He was named Pac-12 Freshman of the Year before forgoing his final three years of college eligibility.
Dort rates ninth in the G League in scoring with 21.6 points per game. He has bounced back and forth between the Blue (11 games) and the NBA-affiliate Thunder (7).
The Blue’s other two-way guard, Deonte Burton, has totaled 25 games in 2019-20: seven in the G League and 18 in the NBA. With the Blue, he averages 16.1 points and 8.7 rebounds. | [

The office buildings are located in a redeveloped industriual area in the heart of the city, called Millenaris Park. They are surrounded by a large city park and playground. The seemengly separate volumes are connected by an underground garage. The Modern building is covered with black ceramic sheets, the Avant Garde is covered by grey ones. The building envelope contains as much transparent surfaces as possible obtaining the most possible energy in wintertime and with outside shading controlling the heat transmission in summertime. Today Avant Garde operates as rented offices while the “Modern” building was purchased by the European Union.

High clouds are moving in on cue Wednesday afternoon ahead of a weather system of modest strength that will bring a cooler day Thursday and Friday too, with a chance of rain.
Expect a lot more cloud cover on Thursday and most of Friday. While we’ll see a few showers around tonight and into tomorrow morning, don’t expect much. The better chance of rain for the coast will be in the early afternoon hours tomorrow and for the interior of Western Washington in the late afternoon and evening hours. Some lucky folks will pick up a tenth of an inch of much-needed rain but most of us will settle for scraps --- a few hundredths at best. Some locations will not have measurable rain at all.
[DOWNLOAD: Free KIRO 7 News app for alerts as news breaks]
The cooler fresh air off the Pacific will keep highs in the 60s to near 70 tomorrow. East of the Cascades, we’ll see dry winds pick up in Central Washington but hopefully no significant fire spread. There aren’t any warnings for fire danger out, however.
Clouds will decrease on Saturday and we’ll have more 70s for highs. Sunday should be sunny and warmer with more 70s before onshore flow strengthens and we have more clouds and below-average temperatures early next week with highs in the 60s to near 70.

This false-colour composite image of Venus’s atmosphere was obtained by the Visible and Infrared Thermal Imaging Spectrometer (VIRTIS) on board ESA’s Venus Express, from a limb (or profile) perspective.
The top panel shows the oxygen nightglow of Venus at an altitude of approximately 96 km over the surface of the planet, seen at a wavelength of 1.27 microns.
The bottom panel shows the same portion of the atmosphere observed at the same time, but at a different wavelength (around 1.22 microns). Here it is possible to see the nightglow of nitric oxide, which is much weaker than that of oxygen and comes from an higher altitude — around 110 km above the surface.
In red is the thermal emission of Venus at 1.74 microns; one of the atmospheric windows of Venus exploited by VIRTIS. | [

Writing in the International Journal of Food Science and Technology, the Polish researchers found that grape powder-enhanced sourdough mixed rye breads showed considerably higher dietary fibre contents than in the control, and had significantly higher antioxidant activity linked to their phenolic compound content.
However, the authors siad the hardness and gumminess of the supplemented bread significantly increased with the addition of the grape by-product and they recommend it be incorporated into rye bread formulations at a level of up to 6 per cent to ensure breads of acceptable quality.
The food industry, note the authors, are continually seeking new sources of dietary fibre (DF) as functional components as DF promotes beneficial physiological effects, including gastrointestinal function, moderation of postprandial insulin response and reduction in total and LDL cholesterol content.
According to the researchers, fruit DF are good sources of flavanols, flavonols, anthocyanins and phenolic acids. They have “better nutritive value than those derived from cereals, because there are also known to contain significant amounts of bioactive compounds such as polyphenols and carotenoids.”
The team notes that sourdough fermentation allows for the addition of functional ingredients as it has a generally accepted role in improving both flavour and structure of rye and wheat breads and thus might be helpful in masking eventually negative effects of physiologically active plant ingredients on bread quality.
And, to their knowledge, no studies exist on the use of grape by-products as the source of both DF and polyphenols in the literature. Furthermore, said the authors, there is no documented research on the use of sourdough mixed rye bread as a matrix for bioactive compounds.
Evaluating the effect of grape by-products (GP) on the chemical composition, soluble (SDF) and insoluble (IDF) dietary fibre, phenolic compounds, antioxidant activity (AA) and organoleptic characteristics of sourdough mixed rye bread, the team prepared samples of sourdough mixed rye bread: a control bread (BC) and breads with GP at four different levels: at 4, 6, 8 and 10 per cent.
The team said their results showed that the addition of GP significantly improves dietary fraction contents, as bread with a 10 per cent addition of GP accounts for 39 per cent and 37 per cent higher contents of IDF and SDF than the control.
“The assay of radical-scavenging activity and reducing ability showed that GP addition greatly enhanced antioxidant properties of mixed rye breads. Profiles of phenolic compounds of supplemented breads were dominated by procyanidin B1 and B2, catechin, epicatechin, caffeic acid and myricetin,” concluded the authors.
With an increase in the level of GP, the hardness and gumminess of the bread significantly increase, and, as such, sensory evaluation of GP-enhanced breads revealed that a maximum of 6 per cent GP could be incorporated “to prepare acceptable products.”

Is Courageousness part of your everyday life?
What could you achieve if it was?
Are you unconsciously conforming and, without realising, taking the path of least resistance most of the time, missing out on what the possibilities could really be.
Are your dreams just that? Move away from comfort to exciting!
Courageousness a definition: ‘mental or moral strength to venture, persevere, and withstand danger, fear, or difficulty.’ Courage needs grit, passion, perseverance and stamina.
The root of the word ´courage´ comes from the French ´Coeur´ meaning heart – it is in all of us. It’s that ‘extra something’ that we are capable of it. When we’re unconsciously conforming we forget that it’s there. We need to trust it and use it in our lives every day.
Imagine what you could achieve by applying courage and grit to everything you do. Channel it in order to nail your dreams and ambitions and make them a reality.
It’s the difference between safe and mediocre and nailed it and incredible, it’s the difference between stagnation and growth.
Here’s an insight into developing your courageousness every day:
- Choose a courageous mind set to start habitually doing the things that no-one else is willing to do.
- Be prepared to make mistakes, see failures as a gift and guide, small and necessary steps to learn from in the process of realising goals.
- Force yourself to push through obstacles and fight when you feel deflated – you will grow more grit.
- Make a habit of meeting deadlines that seem unreasonable and over deliver on expectations.
- Make the calls you’re afraid to make, don’t let challenge paralyse you – in these moments get things sorted straight away. Change your mind set – dig in and welcome the challenge.
- Keep your emotions in check, use your power to manage negative emotion, keep in control and maintain your resolve without losing clarity of thought.
- Give more that you get in return, be patient, there is no instant gratification here, keep your ego & any need for recognition in check.
- Trust your gut, listen to your heart, believe in your ability to make the right decision – lead where no-one else follows – choose what looks and feels right. Believe in yourself and stay the course – you will win others over to your thinking.
We grow through newness and challenges making us stronger, more resistant and our lives more exciting.
You could have this everyday.

reykjavik - An Air Berlin Airbus A320 must remain at Reykjavik Airport for the sake of unpaid costs. The device arrived in Reykjavik from Düsseldorf on Tuesday, but the return flight was canceled this morning.
That reports Airlive. just. Air Berlin has an outstanding bill at Iceland Airport. The port fee has not been paid for the time being as a result of their bankruptcy, Isavia reports. The airport states that it has enabled staff to assist the stranded travelers. Air Berlin went bankrupt in August, but is still flying thanks to a bridge loan from the German government. At the end of next week, air Berlin stops flying. | [

William Von Mueffling’s Cantillon Capital Management recently submitted its 13F for the reporting period of June 30, revealing that it had a public equity portfolio valued at $5.01 billion in the process, which represented a decrease of 2.05% from the previous quarter. The fund reduced its holdings in 17 stocks, made only three additions to existing holdings, and opened no new positions during the quarter. It currently has an estimated $12.4 billion in assets under management. The fund was founded by Mueffling in 2003 after he had a stint at Lazard Asset Management, where he performed exceptionally, averaging more than 30% in annual returns from 1998 to 2003. Cantillon Capital Management currently sports a diversified portfolio, although it mainly invests in technology and finance stocks. In this article, we focus on the hedge fund’s top picks, which are Fidelity National Information Services (NYSE:FIS), Analog Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:ADI), and Baidu Inc (ADR) (NASDAQ:BIDU).
Why are we interested in the 13F filings of a select group of hedge funds? We use these filings to determine the top 15 small-cap stocks held by these elite funds based on 16 years of research that showed their top small-cap picks are much more profitable than both their large-cap stocks and the broader market as a whole; yet investors have been stuck (until now) investing in all of a hedge fund’s stocks: the good, the bad, and the ugly. Why pay fees to invest in both the best and worst ideas of a particular hedge fund when you can simply mimic the best ideas of the best fund managers on your own? These top small-cap stocks beat the S&P 500 Total Return Index by an average of nearly one percentage point per month in our backtests, which were conducted over the period of 1999 to 2012. Even better, since the beginning of forward testing at the end of August 2012, the strategy worked just as our research predicted and then some, outperforming the market every year and returning 123% over the last 34 months, which is more than 66 percentage points higher than the returns of the S&P 500 ETF (SPY) (see more details).
Follow William Von Mueffling's Cantillon Capital Management
At the end of the second quarter of 2015, Cantillon Capital Management held a total of 8.08 million shares of Fidelity National Information Services (NYSE:FIS) valued at $499.25 million, representing 9.97% of its total portfolio value. This is a decline from 11.07% exposure its public portfolio had to the stock at the end of the first quarter. The banking and payment technology company has seen declining insider ownership of late, with that metric having gone down by 13.2%. Currently, insiders own 0.4% of the company’s shares. The last insider trade involved the sale of 127,222 shares by the company’s EVP. Fidelity National Information Services (NYSE:FIS) recently announced a quarterly dividend of $0.26, which will be paid to shareholders of record as of September 16, 2015. Going into the second quarter, the biggest fund shareholder out of the more than 700 that we track was Cantillon, followed by Ken Griffin‘s Citadel Investment Group with 2.14 million shares valued at $145.50, having reduced its shares during the quarter by 17%. Other notable fund shareholders were AQR Capital Management, Polar Capital, and D E Shaw. | [

Let the paint dry for about two hours. Dip the paintbrush in the paint can and manually paint the areas that the roller could not reach. Avoid drips by minimally applying the paint and by re-brushing. Areas that were painted more than a few minutes ago will likely already be filming over. So, confine your re-brushing to areas that were only recently painted.Apply Additional Coats Paint colors deepen and reach their full potential by being applied in two or even three coats. At a minimum, let the paint dry for at least a couple of hours, then re-roll and re-brush the paint one more time.
Considering that not all the spaces should be vivid and bright, you have perfect options for formal cabinets.
Two color kitchen cabinets are exactly what the names imply – a kitchen cabinetry painted in two or more colors, combined in a stylish way. Grey and white kitchen cabinets would be a great example of two-toned colors. However, some designers work with multi-colored cabinets.
The peninsulas do not rule out family and friends from kitchen operations. Rather, peninsulas are often a snack bar, where customers can sit and socialize comfortably with the cook and wait for their dinner. Depending on their size, the Peninsulas can accommodate one to six individuals. Family members can enjoy coffee and read the journal while cooking breakfast or take a seat and meet between meals. This makes peninsulas a pleasant hub of active lifestyles in the kitchen. | [

I know I haven’t written anything in a while. These days I wake up early, go to the hospital, come back exhausted late in the afternoon and then rest and eat at my apartment or out with friends. I have barely enough time and mental energy to study. Starting next week, I will be on call for three nights each week.
A friend of mine recently asked to interview me for an assignment. She asked me many questions and we ended up having a good discussion on many topics related to my disability and life in general. Her questions eventually led to a discussion on how people view disabilities and on relationships.
I have skipped around this topic on my blog a few times but I have not addressed it explicitly. This is usually a discussion I have with my friends. So let me say things plainly and straightforward now.
Soon after my accident, some things happened and I was hit with a hard reality that I already knew but weighed heavily on me nonetheless: people would never look at me the same ever again. My life was forever changed. Everything I used to know and everything I used to be was gone. I know I have said those things a few times on here, but I don’t think people truly understand what I mean.
My friend who was interviewing me said she was going to ask some personal questions and asked me how I envisioned my future. She asked if I still planned on getting married and having kids. “Of course,” I replied. I told her how my situation now doesn't change my ability to find someone like I once thought it would. As an immigrant who naturally seems to cast his net for other first- and second-generation immigrants, the problem does not lie in me “clicking” and “connecting” with a girl; it lies in the approval of their parents.
You see, according to many immigrant parents, no matter what the country of origin, and even to some close-minded young folks here, having a handicap does not mean that everything is normal except for the one handicap. For them, it means that the person himself/herself is handicapped. The person is disabled. There is nothing he/she can do. There is no way that he/she can take care of themselves. Back in the motherland, a person with a disability did not do anything. The person is a burden upon society and a burden upon their family. That is why people like me are looked down upon by these people.
My friend who was interviewing me told me how frustrated she was by this view that people have. It’s not my fault that I have to use a wheelchair now. I didn't ask for this. I didn't do anything to deserve this. If someone’s son or daughter had a tragic accident and was in the same situation, how would they feel and how would they want their son or daughter to be treated? If your husband or wife was in an accident and acquired a disability, either physical or mental, would you leave them?
I am a big proponent of breaking any and all stereotypes.
As I stated in this previous post, that is one of the reasons why I work so hard. That is one of the reasons why I have lived alone since just one short year after my accident. That is one of the reasons why I continue to pursue my dream of becoming a doctor. As I said in this post, keep playing. I know I am different, but not in the way most people think I am.
I want to change people’s perceptions. I want to show the more close-minded people that they should not judge people simply by their looks.
Unfortunately, changing people’s perceptions may just be the first, simple step. Immigrant friends and their parents also care too much about what other people think. Gossip is the most favorite pastime among almost all of our cultures. What will these people tell their friends or their family members, especially those still in the motherland, if they or their child is attracted to someone with a disability? The egotistical concern for the approval of others is prevalent and at times sickening. We are all at fault at times, but we must learn to keep this in check when it comes at the expense of being intolerant or caring for one’s own self-perception instead of others.
A new friend recently said to me how surprised he was when he found out a few weeks ago that I have not been in a wheelchair my whole life. He had to ask a few other friends to get my full story. He then proceeded to view my Facebook pictures and go through my Facebook timeline to see my past. Yes, I told him, I spent twenty-two full years of my life able-bodied like almost everyone else. “From what I got from Facebook stalking your past, it seems like you have taken things very well. The energy and outlook on life you had before is still there. That’s awesome,” he said.

SmithyDAO is creating Smithonia, a world where Smithonian Weapons reside and serve as a center for an interrelated crafting layer within the metaverse.
SmithyDAO is a product on the Arbitrum network that operates within the Treasure Ecosystem and supports a hybrid economy of in-game/off-chain currency and resources. It provides utility for the $MAGIC token and its primary product, Smithonia, is directly connected to both the broader cryptocurrency ecosystem and the global economy.
The Living Weapon and Hollow Weapon NFTs are the primary actors in SmithyDAO's world of Smithonia. Resources can be sold on the Treasure Marketplace, and gold coins can be earned through gathering and other activities. Magical Gathering Missions can be undertaken with a small payment of Magic to increase the chance of better rewards. Restoring the ancient city using gathered resources earns players Restoration Points, previously known as Devotion or Loyalty Points.
The game operates on a hybrid economy of in-game/off-chain currency and resources connected to the broader cryptocurrency and global economies, utilizing the $MAGIC token. All seven weapons available in-game start as wooden material, and players who consistently play the game and accumulate the required crafting resources will be able to level them up into legendary weapons. The seven weapons are:
To level up your Wooden Weapon, gather resources on adventures and quests. As you progress further into Smithtonia, you can unlock better gear, crafting resources, and new stories. There are 4 types of quests: Easy, Medium, Hard, and Magic, with increasing difficulty and requirements for participation. The Hall of Fame rewards the top 100 players in terms of Devotion Points, which can be earned by burning resources and TreasureNFTs. Royalties for the Living Weapons collection are distributed to the leaderboard winners in $MAGIC.
Quest rewards will vary and can include living weapons, gold, NFTs, experience, and off-chain items like potions, maps, and more. These off-chain rewards will eventually be convertible to NFTs, but for the first three months of gameplay, they will remain off-chain to minimize risk and allow for a more robust system to be developed.
SmithyDAO is free for players to experience, with the Living Weapon NFTs available for purchase on TreasureDAO's Trove marketplace. At the same time, you can obtain a SmithyPass from the game's website directly. The SmithyPass provides exclusive rewards for the first and second season, including a new weapon frame that adds to the rarity narrative. A new SmithyPass will be released for each season, and buying one supports the development of Smithonia and the leaderboard rewards. | [

The Sh8.2 billion Thiba Dam water project is complete, and is expected to more than double the current production
According to Stephen Mutinda, the Project Manager, the main aim of the dam is to ensure a continuous flow of water in the River Thiba in all seasons.
With the completion of Thiba dam, Mutinda noted, the farmers especially in Mwea irrigation scheme, will have adequate continuous water flow throughout the year, which will help increase the acreage under irrigation as well as allow for two planting seasons per year.
“Currently, Mwea has 25,000 acres under irrigation and with the completion of the dam, 10,000 more acres will be put under irrigation,” said Mutinda, adding, “the dam will also enable farmers to plant two seasons annually bringing total irrigation farming in one year to 70,000 acres.”
Engineer Charles Muasya, Deputy General Manager in charge of infrastructure development at the National Irrigation Authority, said that the project, that has taken almost 49 months, will increase the area under irrigation from 25,000 to 35,000 acres hence the economic activities within the region are expected to rise.
“This project began 49 months ago and will add another 10, 000 acres under irrigation with the expectation of increase in economy for Mwea,” Muasya said.
He said it will take 2-3 months to fill the dams before spilling the water, adding that the release of water will depend on demand in the scheme. The dam manager will coordinate with the scheme manager to regulate the flow, he explained.
The project, commissioned by President Uhuru Kenyatta in 2018 was estimated to cost Sh8.2 billion but the actual cost came to Sh7.8 billion.
“The estimated cost was Sh8.2 billion but we have done it at Sh7.8 billion,” Muasya noted.
“The dam is one of the President Kenyatta flagships projects. It is 40-meter-high and 1.1 km in length with a storage capacity of 15.6 million cubic meters of water. The main purpose of the dam is to regulate water in order to stabilize flow in river Thiba,”said the manager.
He concluded that despite budgetary challenges, the contractor was understanding, adding all issues of land compensation had been fully settled. The dam has an outlet that will benefit over 100,000 locals.

I was wondering how bootstrap CIs (and BCa in barticular) perform on normally-distributed data. There seems to be lots of work examining their performance on various types of distributions, but could not find anything on normally-distributed data. Since it seems an obvious thing to study first, I suppose the papers are just too old.
I did some Monte Carlo simulations using the R boot package and found bootstrap CIs to be in agreement with exact CIs, although for small samples (N<20) they tend to be a bit liberal (smaller CIs). For large enough samples, they are essentially the same.
This makes me wonder whether there is any good reason not to always use bootstrapping. Given the difficulty of assessing whether a distribution is normal, and the many pitfalls behind this, it seems reasonable not to decide and report bootstrap CIs irrespective of the distribution. I understand the motivation for not using non-parametric tests systematically, since they have less power, but my simulations tell me this is not the case for bootstrap CIs. They are even smaller.
A similar question that bugs me is why not always use the median as the measure of central tendency. People often recommend to use it to characterize non normally-distributed data, but since the median is the same as the mean for normally-distributed data, why make a distinction? It would seem quite beneficial if we could get rid of procedures for deciding whether a distribution is normal or not.
I am very curious about your thoughts on these issues, and whether they have been discussed before. References would be highly appreciated. | [

In a spirit of full disclosure, I am a Randy Hain fan. As a friend, he has been the source of unfailing encouragement, fellowship, and wisdom. Yet there are many dimensions to the man… Randy is a husband, father, writer, speaker, business leader, and much more.
His third book, Something More: The Professional’s Pursuit of a Meaningful Life is packed with insight and practical tips we all need to seek – and find – greater meaning in our professional work.
I was able to catch up with Randy (no small feat, I assure you) to discuss the book, and our discussion follows. Enjoy!
Randy, this new book of yours is written for business professionals. What motivated you to write it?
I wanted this book to address what I have observed my 20+ years of conversations with candidates and business leaders: people are seeking more meaning out of life than simply their work. They often express it in different ways, but ultimately the majority of the people I meet are seeking more balance, more faith, more intellectual stimulation or more community involvement. Sometimes they simply want to make a living doing what they love! “Something More” captures the best of these experiences along with the interviews I conducted with professional men and women around the country on how they are pursuing a more meaningful life.
I sincerely hope that the book will provide a road map to those seeking direction and a way to get started towards a life that is richer and fuller when work is in its proper place.
I like that you are clearly Catholic in the book when you relate your story, but the people you interviewed come from a wide variety of faith backgrounds. Was that intentional?
Absolutely! People who read my first two books know me for my Catholic writing, but in my professional life as the head of a national recruiting firm I deal with people from all faith backgrounds. I wanted the book to be authentic and genuinely express the variety of opinions about faith which exist in the world.
I also had a strong desire to write a professional mainstream book which had a strong faith element woven into it. The workplace is often an alien place for faith to exist, but in the book I encourage people to lead integrated lives and not leave their faith at the door. The book also addresses a host of other topics in addition to faith as I mentioned earlier.
There is a raw and honest feel to the book and the stories of the people you interviewed really rang true. You don’t see many business books like this in today’s world. How do you think the book will be received?
Based on early feedback from several reviewers and conversations I have had with others, I believe the book will be very well received. People are starving for authenticity. They want to identify with people who have lived through the same challenges. The book is honest and deals with real problems people face. I also wrote four very challenging questions for self-reflection at the end of every chapter to encourage the reader to identify the lessons they learned and hopefully assimilate them into their lives.
Authenticity has been a recurring theme in all of your books. As a business person and Catholic author, how does that manifest itself in your daily life?
I appreciate that question and I have thought about the word authenticity a lot over the years. When I finally surrendered to Christ in the fall of 2005 and joined the Catholic Church in 2006, I set aside my old compartmentalized approach to life and work. I began the often difficult process of just being the same person all the time and living as integrated a life as possible with Christ at the center. The older I get the more committed I am to this authentic path and doing what I believe is right. The world fights us at every turn, but this is the path that we are supposed to walk if we wish to attain Heaven. I could certainly use your prayers!
You interviewed some fascinating people in connection with the book. Were there any surprises as you spoke with them, and did any particular stories resonate?
The interviews made the book come alive and what may surprise you is most of the people in the book came into my life or hit my radar in a random fashion. Very few of them were identified to be included before I began the project. I let it unfold naturally and prayed about it a great deal as I looked for people sincerely looking for meaning out of life than simply their work. The result was an honest representation of what I believe most of us experience and think in the course of our lives and the stories will hopefully resonate with everyone.
One of my favorite interviews was with Ellina Feldman in the chapter titled “The Role of Crisis.” This young woman has been through so many challenges in her life and yet she is one of the most determined and joyful people I have ever encountered. We could all learn a lot from her!
One of my favorite parts of the book was your discussion with our friend Andreas Widmer, author of The Pope and the CEO. In the context of | [

In December 2016 the London Stock Exchange (LSE) reminded all
AIM companies about the need to liaise closely with their nomad
under AIM Rule 31. The LSE fined and privately censured an AIM
company £75,000 for breaching Rule 31 and not providing
necessary information to its nomad.
The fundamental purpose of AIM Rule 31 is to ensure that the
nomad is kept fully aware of developments and can fulfil its
regulatory role and responsibilities to the LSE, to advise and
guide the AIM company. In this instance the LSE found that the
Company failed to inform its nomad and seek advice regarding a
series of business developments. The LSE held it was not
appropriate for the company to decide whether or not the business
developments were disclosable based solely on its own assessment of
its obligations under the AIM Rules, without reference to its
The LSE also noted that:
the obligations to inform the nomad and seek advice regarding
business developments covered a wider range of developments than
would be required to be announced under AIM Rule 11;
it was not sufficient for the company to just send board
agendas and minutes to the nomad without any context or discussion;
contractual obligations between an AIM company and its nomad do
not override the Company's AIM Rules responsibilities.
The LSE noted it had "made clear, in a number of previous
published disciplinary actions and guidance, that appropriate
liaison between an AIM company and its nomad in accordance with AIM
Rule 31 is a fundamental tenet of the AIM Rules" and indicated
that it would continue to take formal disciplinary action where
Rule 31 is breached.
Aim companies and their nomads should ensure they have clear
channels of communication and regular dialogue on all developments
affecting the AIM company.

An assignment of rights under a contract is normally restricted to the benefit of the contract. Where a party wishes to transfer both the benefit and burden of the contract this generally needs to be done by way of a novation.
The amount of information contained in arbitration clauses varies greatly from contract to contract. Some parties, in their arbitration clauses, specifically state the rules to be applied, the number of arbitrators (and sometimes the requisite qualification and experience of these arbitrators), the language of the arbitration proceedings, the location of hearings and the seat of arbitration.

Ultraviolet(UV) light is part of the electromagnetic spectrum and belong to the area between visible light and X-rays. The invisible radiation includes wavelengths from 100 nm to 400 nm. UV light can be subdivided into four separate regions:
1. Ultraviolet A (UVA)
• Wavelength: 315nm-400nm
• Note: Long-wave. Black light. Least harmful type.
• Application areas: suitable for printing, curing, lithography, sensing and medical applications
2. Ultraviolet B (UVB)
• Wavelength: 280nm-315nm
• Note: Medium-wave. Cause sunburn and increase the risk of skin cancer.
• Application areas: suitable for curing, tanning and medical applications.
3. Ultraviolet C (UVC)
• Note: Short-wave. Decompose the nucleic acid in microbial cells to sterilize.
•Application areas: for disinfection and sanitising,
Most natural UV light is produced by the sun, about 10% of sunlight is UV light. Only 3% to 4% of UV light penetrates the atmosphere to reach the ground. Of the UV light that reaches the earth, 95% is UVA and 5% is UVB. The sun has no measurable UVC to reach the surface of the earth.
How ASL LED UVC lights kill viruses and bacteria?
UVC light inactivates the DNA and RNA of bacteria, viruses and other pathogens, destroying their ability to reproduce and cause disease.
DNA and RNA are the genetic material that constitutes an organism and controls its growth, development and reproduction. DNA and RNA absorb radiation at UVC wavelength, which alters genetic material, causing mutations or cell death and failure to reproduce, resulting in inactivation of viruses or bacteria.
Can LED UVC light kill the COVID-19 virus?
According to scientific theory, COVID-19 virus belongs to the category of "enveloped virus" or category 3, and category 3 viruses are the easiest to kill. The LED UVC light can kill more resilient viruses such as small and large non-enveloped viruses (grade 1 and 2 viruses) will also be able to kill enveloped COVID-19 virus.
Why choose LED UVC Light?
1. Broad-spectrum sterilization
Tests have shown that UVC light can kill 99.9% of bacteria and viruses. The most important thing is that pathogens cannot be resistant to UVC light like some antibiotics and antibacterial products. So that the environment after anti-virus is healthier.
2. Physical disinfection, no secondary pollution
The LED UVC light is a physical method to kill bacteria and viruses, which can replace some potentially harmful chemical method. After the LED UVC light has finished working, it is safe to enter the sterilized room, unlike chemical procedures that may be difficult to breathe in the room where the chemical has just been sprayed.
There are many lighting configurations for LED UVC lights, including mobile type. The mobile type of LED UVC light allows the germicidal fixtures to be easily moved between different rooms. The mobile type is an excellent choice for hospitals, classrooms, offices and hotels or small retail businesses.
The LED light already has a mature smart lighting system, which can automatically turn on and off by sensing personnel. You can also set the working time to make the LED light work automatically. Because the short-wave radiation emitted by LED UVC light does impact humans, it is necessary to avoid direct exposure of personnel to UVC light. The LED UVC light is equipped with a sensor module. When the light senses the motion of a person, it will automatically turn off to ensure the safety of the person and turn on after 3 minutes of no motion sensed.

The Northrop F-89 Scorpion is reputed to be the first combat fighter with air-to-air nuclear capabilities (the unguided Genie rocket).
Originally designed to replace the P-61 Black Widow, this design by Northrop won an Air Force bid in 1945, and saw its maiden flight in August of 1948. The first production airframe, designated F-89A, took to flight in September 1950 with two permanently mounted wingtip fueltanks. After the first major upgrade to the B-version, the aircraft entered active service in 1951, but severe problems were found with several systems, including the engines. The C-version soon came to life, but soon the major production model m, the F-89D started rolling out of the factories.
The D-version separated itself from its predecessor by replacing the wingtip fueltanks with underwing droptanks, so to make room for two wingtip mounted 70 mm rocket pods, arming the F-89D with 104 Mighty Mouse FFAR rockets. A total of 682 D-models were constructed. For some reason, the E,F,G models were propsed but skipped, and an upgrade to the F-89H happened in 1956. The final variant was the F-89J, and it was provided with two underwing pylons capable of carrying the nuclear Genie rocket. By the end of 1969, all Scorpions were retired in US service.
length: 16.40 m
wingspan: 18.20 m
max. takeoff weight: 19.2 metric tons
powerplant: 2x Allison J-35 turbojets with afterburners for 7200 lbf
maximum speed: 635 mph
service ceiling: 15,000 m
armament: 104 70 mm might Mouse rockets
All of the above assuming someone on Wikipedia did his homework correctly
Let's start off with the mandatory sprue shots:
As you can see, the kit comes with some nice recessed panellines, and some details in the wheelbays as well. This comes at the price of some sinkmarks left and right, but for a Revell molding from 1991, I'm completely happy.
I'll be building the D-version, as in my mind there's no choice to be made when you have those wingtip rocket pods! And so, we'll be doing the version from the boxart. I bought myself some of the AK Extreme metal paints the other day and the natural metal part of this bird will be done with those. It'll be interesting to see if I can get a good a result as Phil did.
As usual, the cockpit is the first to be tackled. Two seats of 4 parts each are easily constructed, and the rest of the cockpit parts released from the sprue. No details whatsoever for the instrument panels or side panels, but since revell provide decals there, I'm gla they didn't bother. Saves me the trouble of sanding off the lot of it....
Next up: gluing up the rocketpods and fueltanks. Seams were filled with some filler, and are awaiting sanding.
And that's pretty much it for a first update. The next update should have paint. | [

Cantaloupes are once again in the eye of a food safety storm, linked to 140-plus cases of illness from salmonella and two deaths.
The shame of it is that the outbreak, emanating from an Indiana farm, potentially could have been prevented had the Obama administration moved in a timely fashion to implement broad food safety legislation signed into law in January 2011.
Beyond the illnesses reported in 20 states, the outbreak could have other detrimental ripple effects. We worry about how other cantaloupe producers will fare, including Colorado’s Rocky Ford growers.
These besieged growers have taken serious steps to get beyond the listeria outbreak at one operation — Jensen Farms, which is not even in the Rocky Ford region — that broadly tainted perceptions about all melons from the state. They adopted stringent safety standards, including hiring a full-time safety manager, voluntarily adhering to cleaning and cooling rules, and agreeing to twice-a-year state inspections.
At this point, Rocky Ford growers have seen signs of hope in the numbers. Though they’ve planted fewer acres of melons, demand is strong.
We hope consumers will discriminate between Rocky Ford melons and those from the farm in Indiana, but we worry they’ll just turn away from all cantaloupes as the number of illnesses linked to the Indiana farm continues to grow.
Clearly, other growers, including those in California, are concerned about consumers being scared off of their products.
It all underscores the need for the Obama administration to get the food safety regulations finalized.
Because after the Indiana cantaloupe crisis has passed, another will come along. They always do.
We have long advocated for an overhaul of the nation’s food safety laws and rejoiced at passage of the Food Safety Modernization Act, the first comprehensive rewrite of food safety laws in 70 years.
It was long overdue, and so are the new rules emanating from that legislation. They were supposed to be released at the beginning of this year.
As reported by Food Safety News, the bottleneck is at the White House’s Office of Management and Budget, which is reviewing and revising the rules drafted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
They need to pick up the pace of bureaucracy. Public health is at risk with each passing day. The nation is on the cusp of having a much-improved — though not perfect — body of food safety regulations. It’s time to make it a reality. | [

Newspaper heads sought advice on headlines, says ex-Erdoğan advisor
Kemal Öztürk, a former advisor of then-Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, said on Sunday heads of various newspapers had been asking him if their headlines were appropriate.
Öztürk served as an advisor for Erdoğan between 2007 and 2011 and he became the head of state-run Anadolu news agency after he quitted his job as Erdoğan's aide.
"But let me tell you this: Our friends who say that they are independent and free journalists today, were running newspapers at that time. And without my request, they sent me the next day's headlines, asking me 'Is it appropriate'. They were publishing the newspaper after that," Öztürk said during an interview.
Turkey has been severely criticised for backlash in press freedom in the country for some years already. And pressure on media has been dramatically intensified following the 2016's coup attempt, with over 120,000 people in the police, military, academia, media and civil service have been detained or dismissed from their jobs over their alleged links to the Gülen movement which Turkish authorities blame for orchestrating the coup attempt.
"I know very well the past of those who give very high-pitch ethical messages today," Öztürk said.
Reporters Without Borders (RSF) placed Turkey 157th out of 180 countries on its World Press Freedom Index in 2018, down two from the previous year, and called Turkey the “world’s biggest jailer of journalists” in the 2018 report. | [

Peaceful Protest March in front of the UN Headquarters, New York-Nov 2014
On a cold Saturday morning of 15th November 2014 in New York City, with temperatures in lower 40s, well over 120 people assembled at the Katherine Hepburn Park in front of the UN building. Men, Women and young children coming from all corners of United States, representing various organizations and forums, irrespective of their religious convictions joined this protest. This was to lend their unequivocal support in display of solidarity with the bereaved Jadhav family of Javkhede village (Ahmednagar district in Maharashtra State of India) and exhort the administration to serve speedy justice and punish the criminals.
Friends, the success of conducting this peaceful protest march and sit-in in front of the UN Headquarters, New York, is indeed a monumental and historic landmark in our struggle.
Large sized photographs of all the three victims of Jadhav family (Sanjay the father, Jayshree the mother and Sunil, their young son) were setup at the protest site. The protest started by a short opening introduction by Milind Awasarmol and elaborated by Rajkumar Kamble. This was followed by Buddha Vandana and observance of 2 minutes of silence in remembrance of the deceased.
The march began with a candle vigil, while numerous banners and placards were upheld by the protesters. The messages displayed on these were voicing anti-caste, anti-atrocity and pro human rights sentiments.
After the candle vigil and during the sit-in, almost all protesters came forward to speak and expressed their anguish over the incident and raised their demand for justice and intervention of the UN for addressing caste based atrocities. This was covered by the attending media at the protest.
AANA handed over a Sum of USD 300 to the bereaved old parents of deceased Sanjay Jadhav. | [

Open up Finished Issues Make Considerably better Conversations
Inquiries certainly are a very important piece of any discussion and there is a fairly easy strategy to utilize them to create greater conversations and depth even while speaking. That means is just by utilizing a whole lot more open ended inquiries.

Closed ended problems may be answered which includes a one one or two word response. They’re generally a of course or no doubt and do not leave considerably home for elaboration, interpretation or feeling.
Open up finished questions alternatively are concerns that can’t be answered with 1 phrase responses. They need to have some imagined and many information to reasonably remedy the issue.
Assemble a Dialogue
Easy to understand response shut concerns do not depart a whole lot home for elaboration or honestly a complete response. They’re generally issue using phrases like, did you, christianlouboutinhoney.com when, do you want to, http://www.extremefangrowth.com/christianlouboutinreplicaspring.html will you, have you ever, tradechristianlouboutin.com and so on. Each and every of these just really need a pair words and phrases to answer and they will not transition effectively from one particular subject to a different in the dialogue. They go away little space for brand spanking new hints they usually never spark much creative imagination or imagination which leads to new concerns. That may be exactly where open up finished concerns excel. They supply a lot of way more detail, feelings, christian louboutin fake shoes remarks and bits of information that will considerably more instantly form into new hints and transitions. Below are some examples of normal thoughts within an open format:
* Explain to me whatever you look at that?
* Just what is it you like in regards to the approach?
* How does one decide to realize that?
Let Other folks Chat Greater than You
Open up ended questions also be sure that you choose to give most people an opportunity to discuss even more than you. It forces you to listen a little more in any conversation simply because you have got to hold out for any longer reaction with these concerns. You are able to continue to lead a discussion by steering with all your questions but no less than the open requests allows place for just a added elaborate expanse.
Open questioning can also be a good tool to promote resourceful believed, problem-solving knowledge, www.replicachristianlouboutin2013online.com and cognitive development in many others given that it forces an individual to invest way more time contemplating their reaction as a substitute of just giving a disconnected indeed or no response. The assumed necessary driving may likely sound easily but it surely forces an affiliation pattern which makes a person relate a specific thing of indicating which they response with, on the particular person or conversation. This inherently builds a much better bond with, www.extremefangrowth.com/christianlouboutinreplicaspring.html significantly better memory of and certainly a more engaged discussion.
Talk to Them to talk About By themselves
Likewise to easily having an individual converse a lot more, owning somebody talk about on their own, their own individual feelings as well as their thoughts on a issue exhibits that you have some authentic desire in them and care a sufficient amount of to like to spend some time to hear. This really is immensely powerful both of those for viewing how the discussion subject areas influence that person but in addition to reinforce that relationship way more. Irrespective of whether you realize the person perfectly, otherwise you are by now a detailed good friend or family member, these personal and open up ended thoughts only direct to a fair stronger bond by having a for a longer time considerably more significant conversation on the outset. | [

Gov’t expects parking meter project suspension to be heeded-Minister Harmon
GINA, GUYANA, Friday, March 17, 2017
Cabinet at its most recent meeting on Tuesday, March 14, 2017 concluded that it was in receipt of sufficient information to advise that the Georgetown Mayor and City Council (M&CC) suspend the parking meter project for a period of 90 days.
Addressing the media at the post-Cabinet press briefing at the Ministry of the Presidency today, Minister of State Joseph Harmon, said that Cabinet expects that when its decision is formally communicated to the council that it will be taken on board.
“Cabinet has given its advice, and we expect that the advice will be heeded by the City Council,” the minister said.
Minister of Communities Ronald Bulkan was requested by Cabinet to communicate the decision taken, including the issues of concerns raised to the council. “I cannot say to you precisely when this will be done, but I can say to you at the urging of the government, it will be done very shortly,” Minister Harmon said on the issue of the communiqué between the Communities Minister and the M&CC.
“My understanding is that the City Council has to have a meeting where the advice of Cabinet is given to it and it is ratified and they move forward with that, and thereafter they will then contact, the Smart City Solutions,” the minister explained.
The minister also said that if the government’s signals to have the parking meter project suspended are not heeded, the contract may possibly be revoked. “[If it is not done] well of course there are two options, one; the suspension, of course the other one is revocation and if the intervention of a party under what may be termed ‘force majeure’ exists then certainly the parties to the contract can understand what needs to be done and the contract spells out itself in clear terms what force majeure is and what needs to be done,” the minister said.
As it relates to compensation for the suspension or possible revocation of the project, Minister Harmon noted that these are legal issues which would be dealt with. “The government has made its concern very clear, and therefore whether there is to be compensation or not that is a matter to be addressed during the process. My understanding of the process is that if a party does not agree with the position, then they go to arbitration, and in the arbitration these issues are dealt with, but the signal sent by government is a strong enough one, that the parties to the contract understand that this is something that needs to be done,” the minister said.
The parking meter project being executed by the Georgetown M&CC through Smart City Solutions was among several new initiatives introduced by the council to raise revenue to better manage the affairs of the city. The exorbitant fees and lack of transparency in the drawing up of the contract between Smart City Solutions and the Council however had led to calls by members of civil society for the revocation of the project. Over the past weeks, in response to the public outcry, Cabinet has been meeting with stakeholders as part of making a judgment on the project.
During the press briefing today, the minister highlighted several issues as the grounds for Cabinet’s decision to suspend the project.
The minister highlighted concerns such as the installation of parking meters on streets that were within the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Public Infrastructure and the use by the Smart City company of parapets that were not under the jurisdiction of the M&CC.
Other concerns raised by Cabinet pertained to the cost of parking in the jurisdiction of Georgetown, the provision for the parking of police, army and fire service vehicles and ambulances in areas in Georgetown, the financial arrangement of the project and the need for greater involvement of stakeholders in the process, Minister Harmon said.

HOUSTON -- G.J. Kinne threw for 318 yards and three touchdowns to lead Tulsa to a 38-20 win over Rice on Saturday night.
Kinne was 21 of 34 as the Golden Hurricane (4-3, 3-0 Conference USA) won their third straight game. Willie Carter had nine catches for 160 yards and a touchdown.
Backup quarterback Nick Fanuzzi was 20 of 37 passing for 234 yards and a TD for Rice (2-5, 1-3).
Tulsa led 24-10 at halftime.
Trey Watts had 18 carries for 68 yards and a touchdown for Tulsa, who compiled 473 yards of offense.
Fanuzzi came in after starter Taylor McHargue threw two interceptions and fumbled in Rice's first three possessions. Those miscues led to 17 Golden Hurricane points on Kinne's 1-yard TD run, a 13-yard scoring catch by Watts and Kevin Fitzpatrick's 52-yard field goal.
Rice cut the lead to 17-3 on a Chris Boswell's 32-yard field goal with 11:18 left in the second quarter, but Kinne responded with a 64-yard touchdown pass to Carter with 56 seconds remaining in the half.
Fanuzzi found Willson in the end zone with five seconds remaining before halftime.
Boswell added a 36-yard field goal with 5:36 remaining in the third to get the Owls within 24-13, but Watts extended the Tulsa lead in the fourth quarter with a 3-yard TD run to cap a nine-play, 80-yard drive.

As soon as news came out that Attorney General Eric Holder will be resigning the tweets from Republicans were fast and furious.
Congressman Darrell Issa, that gem of a public servant who’s wasted so much tax-payer money on fruitless investigations, tweeted that Holder is the most divisive Attorney General ever. It’s divisive when you push for American progress. It’s divisive if you push for gay marriage or at least move the government away from restricting it. It’s divisive if you want equal treatment for all. It’s divisive if you fight against anti-voting laws. It’s especially divisive if you would like to see the police in this country stop pulling people over for driving while being black and being shot for being black.
The most ridiculous thing (OK, these are Republicans and it’s hard to find what’s MOST ridiculous) is that anyone who points out racism gets labeled by the right as race-baiters. If you point out a cop shot an unarmed black kid then your’e the racist for going there. White Republicans really care about race when they feel a white person is being mistreated by a minority or the press. Sometimes I don’t know if I should laugh or smack myself in the forehead.
President Obama didn’t really press race issues during his first term unless you want to count the Beer Summit. He’s our first black president and with that I’m sure he didn’t want to be labeled as just a black president. Eric Holder was the man on the forefront of pushing against discrimination.
Republicans will point out how he was held in contempt by Congress. They’ll point at the fake scandals they created and try to slur Holder’s record for it, and judge his successor the same. But history is going to show that Eric Holder as a pioneer who worked to move this country forward.
He’s been labeled by the Right as an activist Attorney General. I’m glad he was.
I got a really cool compliment last week from an editor in Tennessee. He told me that I didn’t usually run in the pack but when I did I would do something different. I’ll take that.
There’s going to be a lot of times when I draw a cartoon on the same subject a hundred other cartoonists are also covering. I saw a bunch of cartoons about the White House fence jumper and some of them were really good. Most of them were jokes without a message. I’ll do that from time to time. Since I saw so many that were just jokes I figured I’d throw something else in there. Plus, when I draw a cartoon that covers two subjects then I don’t really have to worry about neglecting or over-saturating one of the subjects later.
I found a lot of amusement from the global warming hearing last week in Congress. Hearing Republicans talk about science, and try to explain science to scientists is comedy writing itself. One congressman actually talked about how water doesn’t rise when ice melts in a glass of water. Of course this a party where a lot of members believe the Earth is only 6,000 years old and Jesus walked beside dinosaurs.
I’ve seen a lot of Facebook and Twitter posts about ice forming in the Arctic so that proves global warming isn’t real. These knuckleheads don’t realize ice forms every winter. Weather gets colder in Winter. It also gets warmer in Spring and Summer and thus ice melts again. I’m sorry if that sounds so elementary but conservatives need it explained…again.
There’s a difference between science and religion. Science is eventually backed with facts. Religion is supported by wanting to believe in something despite no amount of evidence supporting it. Faith is nice. It can be beautiful. But it shouldn’t replace facts that affect our environment.
By the way, that editor who complimented me: He did so while canceling my cartoon service. He explained I was competing against a service that provides dozen of cartoons on the cheap, and while they weren’t very good they were still cheap. He also explained I was liberal and his publication was in a red state in a strong military area….and his readers were getting angry at my cartoons. I know that’s | [

Looking at spatial configurations of existing plans, I found layouts interesting that had more unconventional circulation patterns. In particular the spaces that were formed through the resulting overlaps or intersections.
I began by looking at the spaces created when horizontal and vertical walls were randomly arranged in a uniform grid. Developing this further I introduced a wider variety of rotations and intersections to see how this would impact the spaces in-between.
In an attempt to escape the rectangular boundary I experimented with sequences of squares and circles in different sized grids, creating spaces from the overlapping boundaries. By merging these varying scaled shapes as if they were layered, I was able to begin to create a more hierarchical spatial pattern.
Additionally, I began looking at how one of these patterns could be placed on a site, and will explore further how aspects of the site could be implemented as parameters for my future code. | [

The Pursat provincial court Wednesday discharged itself of a land dispute case over which it said it had no jurisdiction because the alleged offenses occurred in another province.
The case was originally with the Banteay Meanchey court but was transferred to the Pursat court based on a letter from the minister of justice that gave no explanation for the move, Pursat judge In Bopha said.
“I ordered the prosecutor to transfer this case back to Banteay Meanchey court, and I decided to release the suspects on bail,” In Bopha said, explaining that his court did not have jurisdiction.
However, Pursat prosecutor Top Chansereyvuth appealed the judge’s decision and the men were not released, said the suspects’ lawyer, Kao Soupha.
Villager representatives Chhor Touch, Morm Sarun, Chom Chanthan and Chea Sitha were arrested last year in Banteay Meanchey’s O’Chrou district. They were protesting over a decade-long land dispute between 170 families and the National Development Agriculture Association, in which provincial officials are involved, said Soum Chanke, a monitor for local rights group Adhoc.
The men were charged with destroying private property for allegedly damaging a GPS device and fence posts in the protest. Eighteen other representatives were also charged with the crime but were not detained, Soum Chanke said.
Minister of Justice Ang Vong Vathana ordered the change of venue, even though the Banteay Meanchey court was almost done with its investigation, said Banteay Meanchey Prosecutor So Vath.
“The minister of justice transferred this case to Pursat court when the provincial officials asked to transfer it. Maybe they did not trust the Banteay Meanchey court,” he said.
Ang Vong Vathana could not be reached Wednesday, but Justice Ministry Undersecretary of State Kao Sarith confirmed the minister transferred the case, saying it was within his legal rights.

'77 Style Punk / Post Punk / No Wave
European tour 2019 7" with exclusive songs from this Perth, Australia four piece. Unique sound of Lee Jenkins vocals and performance and Pex relentless power pop guitar play and Clintons utopian pills overdosed bass lines fused with sped-up early TELEVISON PERSONALITIES riffs. Once they lock into a groove, they stay there and lock in all the in a buzzing cage. Songs bleed into one another and leave the audience in rather unmapped garage sonic fields. Lee Jenkins was the drummer of OPRESSED in 1981 - to see this anti-hero give his heart and soul on the floor is so free of any fossilised rock pyrotechnics. Here are four more songs, with a distinctive odd ZERODENT feeling of anxiety and well placed sticky melodies. Mastered by Mikey Young.

The president of state-owned YPFB, José Luis Rivero, said that the priority for the company is to find new gas reserves to keep with Brazil and Argentina’s demands and develop new markets. Rivero appointed six new technical authorities to achieve this objective.
Bolivia’s international reserves reduced $425 million between 18 October and 1 November, according to the Bolivian Central Bank. During this year, the reserves fell $2.1 billion, from $8.9 billion as of 31 December to $6.8 billion as of 1 November.
Paitití Mining Company (EMIPA), that extracts gold, copper, silver and wolfram, will close its operations for 10 months from 17 December, due to technological conversions. Herland Soliz, Energy Secretary of the Regional Government of Santa Cruz, regretted the company’s decision and said that it contributes with 65% of the mining royalties for the region. As for this year, EMIPA already payed $3.12 million in royalties.
Bolivia’s gas proven reserves have been certified in 8.95 trillion cubit feet (TCF), which is lower than the last certification in 2018 (10.7 TCF) made by the Canadian firm Sproule, informed the Government. However, the reserves are enough to granted the export contracts to Brazil and Argentina and the internal market, said Hydrocarbons Minister, Victor Hugo Zamora.
The new Bolivian Government named Oscar Serrate as Extraordinary Ambassador to the United States. Serrate will be the first Ambassador in the US in 11 years, when the then Ambassador Gustavo Guzman was expelled by the US government in response to a similar move from Evo Morales’ government. Serrate was Ambassador to the United Nations.
Bolivia’s Hydrocarbons Minister, Victor Hugo Zamora, said that all oil & gas activities (exploration and exploitation) will be stopped in the Tariquia natural reserve in Tarija, south of Bolivia. He added the Government made the commitment to protect the reserve from oil activities but he acknowledged that this will not be an easy task as there are already contracts with hydrocarbon companies.
The National Chamber of Industries (CNI) said that there are 150 industries paralysed in El Alto, La Paz and Cochabamba since the Carrasco-Cochabamba pipeline stopped supplying natural gas to the west of Bolivia.
alleged report of state-owned YPFB, called “El Petrolero Furioso”, reveals that Bolivia had 7.1 trillion cubic feet (TCF) in proven natural gas reserves as at December 31, 2017, and not the 10.7 TCF certified at the time by Canadian firm Sproule International Limited. The report added that now the proven reservers are less than 6 TCF.
Economy minister, José Luis Parada admits that the GDP will be lower this year, between 3 and 3.2%, and also warned that there may be an increase on inflation due to the conflicts in the country that have affected the normal supply of products
Fitch downgraded Bolivia’s ratings to ‘B+’ from ‘BB-‘, citing macroeconomic risks, which have been intensified by the recent political and social instability in the country. It estimated that the economy’s growth will slow from 3.5% to 2.5%. | [

For someone who started his music career over 30 years ago, Jesse Malin is still making music with the speed and passion of the new kid on the block.
Coheed and Cambria is a four man band that consists of guitarist/vocalists Claudio Sanchez and Travis Stever, drummer Josh Eppard, and Zach Cooper on the bass. Sanchez is the lead singer and also one of the primary songwriters. The group is renowned for their concept pieces because they’re each tied into one ongoing story, The Amory Wars. The 16-year long conceptual project is a science fiction comic book series, and the brainchild of Sanchez who doubles as an illustrator and writer of the comics.
“Honestly, this is so much bigger than me,” 20-year-old Khalid said as he accepted the 2018 Billboard Music Award for “Best New Artist.” “This is for the youth, the young believers and all the dreamers out there. Do not listen to negativity. The only person in the way of your future is yourself.”
At only 25 years old, NBA Point Guard Victor Oladipo has already experienced some of life’s twists and turns. Named the Sporting News Men’s College Basketball Player of the Year and National Co-Defensive Player of the Year while he played basketball for the Indiana Hoosiers, it was no surprise when Oladipo was drafted with the second overall pick in the NBA in 2013 by the Orlando Magic. He was even named NBA All-Rookie first team, an honor given to the top rookies of the season. But when he was traded just three years later to Oklahoma City Thunder after a severe concussion, doubt started to creep into his mind.
When he was traded a year later to the Indiana Pacers, he was fighting back depression. “Going through those first couple years in the league,” he told the IndyStar. “I realized that I needed to work on my body and my mind just as much as I work on my game,” admitting that doing so saved his career. “I realized that the game is 20% physical but it’s literally 80% mental.” Today, Oladipo is considered one of the best guards in the Eastern Conference and is on the verge of making the All-Star team for the first time in his NBA career. In fact, he is the 7th ranked player in the entire NBA for most points scored in the fourth quarter. Despite a somewhat rocky start, Oladipo has fought and proved that he belongs in the NBA, a habit he learned early on in life. | [

The Foreign & Commonwealth Office (FCO) and UK Hydrographic Office (UKHO) are working with the Southern Africa and Islands Hydrographic Commission to establish regulations and legislation that promote the growth of the region’s ocean economy.
Across the world we are becoming increasingly reliant on our oceans: depending on them for food, energy and livelihoods. According to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, our increasing dependence on this resource will mean our global ocean economy – which includes activities ranging from shipping and fishing to renewables – will grow to reach $3 trillion dollars in 2030.
This growth will have a significant effect on the countries that line Southern Africa’s coastline. In Madagascar, which is situated on the Indian Ocean trade route that links Australia, Asia and the Middle East, ports and shipping lanes will experience an exponential increase in shipping traffic. The planting of mangroves along the eastern coast, has the potential to generate increased income for coastal communities whilst helping to mitigate the effects of climate change. And in South Africa, government investment in marine infrastructure through Operation Phakisa has the potential to create an estimated one million jobs by 2033.
Legislation and regulations that guide the sharing of maritime information – including up-to-date bathymetry (seabed mapping data), tides, navigational warnings and observations – will be key to helping these countries manage this change, as well as unlocking further potential to grow their economy in a sustainable way.
They can underpin effective marine spatial planning, allowing governments and commercial counterparts to unlock economic potential, deliver effective protection of marine species and contribute to global conservation. They support navigational safety, giving mariners the information they need to reduce the likelihood of groundings that could lead to loss of life and the degradation of delicate marine environments. And they support the sharing of vital security information that is key to reducing the threat of piracy and illegal fishing in the region.
The UK Hydrographic Office and Foreign & Commonwealth Office have worked with partners across Southern Africa to develop this regulation and legislation during a 5-day seminar. Led by government experts in maritime safety, seabed mapping and ocean science, sessions covered:
Hydrographic Services and the development of a Hydrographic Governance Implementation Plan – These sessions promoted compliance with International Obligations, identifying activities that improve the sharing of Maritime Safety Information and advice on how to maintain safety of navigation through seabed mapping. Sessions also led to discussions on the wider use of the data to support marine spatial planning, maritime infrastructure development, environmental protection and management of resources; all fundamental activities for developing a sustainable blue economy.
The creation of regional peer support networks – these sessions promoted the sharing of knowledge and best practice, whilst identifying activities, dependencies, costs and success measures that improve the sharing of hydrographic information and reduce maritime risk to life and delicate marine environments.
Commenting on the programme, Ian Davies, International Hydrographic Programmes Manager said:
“This seminar was a fantastic opportunity to work with partners from UK government and around Southern Africa to help build sustainable and resilient marine economies for the future. The oceans are vital for providing these states with resources, security and livelihoods, so it’s vital that we not only help them understand and monitor these areas, but also learn how to protect them through the development of strong governance and appropriate legislation.” | [

WASHINGTON, D.C., USA — The dog days of summer are here. But despite that common phrase, dogs and our other furry friends need to be protected in high temperatures. Heat stroke is a real threat with serious repercussions. Check out this information from Friendship Hospital for Animals on how to prevent it, and what to do if you spot warning signs.
Be aware of heat advisories. On days with high heat indexes, both you and your pet should limit your time outdoors. Panting is how dogs naturally cool off instead of sweating. Sometimes panting isn't enough and a dog's body temperature can get too high; which can be fatal. Take your dog on longer walks in the early morning or after the sun sets.
Watch out for heat stroke warning signs. If your dog is panting longer than usual, they're having trouble cooling down. Beware if your dog also seems abnormally hyper or lethargic. Other symptoms of heat stroke include collapsing, convulsions, a change in gum color, vomit or diarrhea. If your dog's experiencing any of these, take them to the veterinary hospital immediately. Try to cool them down on the way there with water, air conditioning, and a wet towel.
Some breeds are more sensitive to heat. Dogs with flat faces such as pugs and bulldogs have anatomical differences that already compromise their ability to breathe and dissipate heat. Older dogs need to be watched more carefully in the heat, and dogs with heavier coats have more trouble cooling down.
Know the long-term effects of heat stroke. Heat stroke can lead to brain swelling, kidney failure, intestinal bleeding, and blood clots. It's imperative to cool your pet down as soon as you see any signs, and get them checked out to prevent irreparable damage.
NEVER leave your dog in a hot car. Temperatures in cars go up exponentially in the summer. Even if you're just running into the drug store to grab something, don't leave your dog in the car. Just a 10 minute stay can be dangerous. It's also now illegal in 28 states to leave your dog in a hot car. Know the law and how to keep your pets safe in the summer.

Will thorium reactors be the future of renewable energy? While nuclear power raises fear among many of us, it’s considered one of our better options for a reliable, carbon-free renewable energy future. Alongside small modular reactors, molten salt reactors (MSRs) that use Thorium as a fuel, are considered cheaper, cleaner and safer options to the traditional nuclear reactors. With experimental tests scheduled for a Thorium-reactor in China and US companies developing projects that should be spinning up in the next few years, let’s revisit my previous video, Thorium explained, and molten-salt reactors, and when we’ll be able to see their impact. Could Thorium reactors build a cheaper and safer future for nuclear power? | [

In this week’s comments update, readers are horrified by a university dormitory where most rooms have no natural light and discussing other top stories.
Billionaire investor Charles Munger’s design for Munger Hall, a student dormitory at the University of California, continues to spark debate this week.
The design for the building, which was informed by Le Corbusier’s Unité d’Habitation, was designed to house over 4,000 students in windowless rooms and attracted criticism last week from readers who called it “inhumane”.
Munger has since defended his vision for the building, saying “it will last as long as the pyramids” and that his idea to replace windows with virtual windows came from Disney Cruise ships.
Commenters are furious. “I’m horrified,” said Nivora.
Stanley agreed: “In some jurisdictions, this would simply be illegal.”
“As if a week-long holiday cruise is the same experience as three years minimum studying in college,” continued Jack Melathass. “This should be illegal. If it passes, how long will it take for some other delusional ‘philanthropist’ to propose a similar design for low-income housing?”
“The dorms look just like the dorms for the guards in Squid Game,” concluded A Gil.

Commenter thinks Facebook’s parent company’s logo “looks like a blue McDonald’s logo”
Social media brand Facebook’s parent company has changed its name to Meta and updated its logo to an infinity loop that resembles the letter M. Readers aren’t sold.
“The graphic in the meta logo reminds me of a superhero or villain mask,” said Hosta.
“I just see a blue McDonald’s logo,” replied Steve Leo.
“The new logo connotes ‘warped’ rather than ‘presence’ to me,” added Robert Becker. “I suppose that’s an appropriate twist on Apple’s Infinite Loop, juxtaposing the good with the evil in Silicon Valley.”

Reader believes the COP26 “targets will be changed”
Cambridge University engineering professor Julian Allwood has said that the UK’s net-zero strategy is as unrealistic as “magic beans fertilised by unicorn’s blood” and will fail to deliver the emissions reductions promised by 2030.
“Sounds like some other agreement that the UK government signed up to recently… ” said Dave.
“Decarbonisation will only happen as quickly as technological innovation allows governments to do so without losing votes,” continued The Manchesterist. “The targets will be changed or the governments will be changed. Stopping air travel, getting rid of cement, widespread vegetarianism, heat pumps, smaller cars, and less driving won’t happen.”
“The so-called developed world,” concluded Anare. “No surprises here.”

Commenter calls MVRDV building “a timeless fusion of architecture and art”
Readers are discussing an art storage building designed by MVRDV, which is now open to the public in Rotterdam. It houses glass display cases filled with 151,000 artworks.
“This project is a timeless fusion of architecture and art,” said Wil Worthington. “Another reason to visit the Netherlands.”
Melon agreed: “Normally I hate mirrored buildings, but this one actually works as a sculptural object.”
Design Junkie was less keen: “The layout looks and feels odd. A group of artworks in a glass rectangle. Strange.”

Built in 1996, this rustic gazebo looks like it belongs on an Adirondack mountain top rather than in the mid-Hudson Valley. Located atop a hill on 120 acres of Scenic Hudson parkland, the Overlook Pavilion (as it is called) is fashioned out of roughly hewn cedar logs and branches. Its steep pitched roof and web-like design are sure to grab your attention as you emerge from the wooded paths that wind through the preserve, but it is the sweeping views of the Hudson River and Catskill Mountains that really draw people here. The benches inside provide the perfect resting place to stop and experience the panorama; some sightseers enjoy bringing a book, journal, or sketchpad for a longer stay. Either way, the site is sure to inspire a deep connection to nature.
Hired in 1849 by members of the Astor and Delano families (who owned the adjacent estates), German-born landscape architect Hans Jacob Ehlers was the visionary behind the park. His design highlighted the area’s wooded vistas, sunlit fields, thick forests, and rolling meadows. By constructing stands of foliage and stone walls, he sought to create “outdoor rooms,” each of which provides visitors with a quiet place to relax, reflect, and enjoy the breathtaking views. Famous literary figures, including Washington Irving, reportedly strolled these grounds, prompting Ehlers to give the park its current name. (Legend has it that Irving came up with the character of Rip Van Winkle during a visit.)
Bird-watchers, hikers, picnickers, even cross-country skiers and snowshoers make use of the park, which is open year-round. Surrounded by nearly 800 acres of private conservation land, this spot is sure to remain a gem of the Valley for years to come.
Do you know the name of the wooded wonderland in which this gazebo stands? Send us your answer as a comment in the box below. The first reader with the correct response wins a prize. Good luck! | [

Reading – Revelation 10:1-11:7
The Angel and the Little Scroll
10 Then I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven. He was robed in a cloud, with a rainbowabove his head; his face was like the sun, and his legs were like fiery pillars. 2 He was holding a little scroll,which lay open in his hand. He planted his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land, 3 and he gave a loud shout like the roar of a lion. When he shouted, the voices of the seven thunders spoke. 4 And when the seven thunders spoke, I was about to write; but I heard a voice from heaven say, “Seal up what the seven thunders have said and do not write it down.”
5 Then the angel I had seen standing on the sea and on the land raised his right hand to heaven. 6 And he swore by him who lives for ever and ever, who created the heavens and all that is in them, the earth and all that is in it, and the sea and all that is in it, and said, “There will be no more delay! 7 But in the days when the seventh angel is about to sound his trumpet, the mystery of God will be accomplished, just as he announced to his servants the prophets.”
8 Then the voice that I had heard from heaven spoke to me once more: “Go, take the scroll that lies open in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land.”
9 So I went to the angel and asked him to give me the little scroll. He said to me, “Take it and eat it. It will turn your stomach sour, but ‘in your mouth it will be as sweet as honey.’[a]” 10 I took the little scroll from the angel’s hand and ate it. It tasted as sweet as honey in my mouth, but when I had eaten it, my stomach turned sour. 11 Then I was told, “You must prophesy again about many peoples, nations, languages and kings.”
The Two Witnesses
11 I was given a reed like a measuring rod and was told, “Go and measure the temple of God and the altar, with its worshipers. 2 But exclude the outer court; do not measure it, because it has been given to the Gentiles. They will trample on the holy city for 42 months. 3 And I will appoint my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth.” 4 They are “the two olive trees” and the two lampstands, and “they stand before the Lord of the earth.”[b] 5 If anyone tries to harm them, fire comes from their mouths and devours their enemies. This is how anyone who wants to harm them must die. 6 They have power to shut up the heavens so that it will not rain during the time they are prophesying; and they have power to turn the waters into blood and to strike the earth with every kind of plague as often as they want.
7 Now when they have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up from the Abyss will attack them,and overpower and kill them. | [

We assume the earth to be a homogeneous sphere. Let ρ be the mean density of the earth and a body be lying on the surface of the Earth, where the value of the acceleration due to gravity is g.
Now, the body be taken to a depth d below the free surface of the Earth, where the acceleration due to gravity is gd. Here, the force of gravity acting on the body is only due to the inner solid sphere of radius (R – d).
From above it is clear that if d increases, gd must decreases, because g is constant.
Hence, the acceleration due to gravity decreases as we move down into the surface of the earth. | [

During the boom the ceremonies were associated with fake tans, designer frocks and stretch Hummers. But now so many parents are struggling to meet the basic costs associated with first communion and confirmation they have turned to the government for help.
More than 8,000 families have claimed 2.27m in emergency-needs payments this year - an average of 284 - to pay for dresses and suits for their children, a sharp rise on previous years. The scheme is funded by the Department of Social and Family Affairs.
Aine Lynch of the National Parents Council said: "Judging from the calls we get through our helpline, parents are struggling to stay on top of costs this year."
Communion shops are also reporting a more prudent approach by parents,… | [

What Is Lasik Eye Surgery? Medical field studies, which have accelerated with the development of technology, have developed in many areas. Special surgeries are now performed for different body limbs. Lasik eye surgery is the most curious one of them. This surgery is being researched by many patients on the internet. So what exactly is this surgery? Why do people need this surgery? How is this surgery applied to the eye performed? All these questions will be explained to you in this article. However, the structure of the eye must be known very well in order to understand these details.
Our eyes have very complex physical and biological properties. By some people, the “eye” is one of the miracles on earth. With the development of optical science and breakthroughs in the medical field, the working principle of the eye was revealed. If we consider a simple lens, we see how it absorbs light and causes light refraction. It is found in organic ones of such lenses in our eyes. These lens structures create an image when the light coming into the eye is refracted and falls on the eyespot. Contrary to its name, the blind spot in the eye has an important place in our vision.
Lights are refracted in our eyes. As a result of these lights moving, images are formed in the eye. These images are sent to the brain by means of nerve cells and we can see those images.
Lasik eye surgery is one of the best applications for eye defects. Eye defects that develop in some patients make life unbearable. The visual process can be impaired in some cases. Organic lenses in our eyes can be damaged. So, they do more work properly. This is one of the most encountered problems for people. So, these surgeries stand for treating these disorders.
Using Lens Or Having The Lasik Eye Surgery?
Many people wear glasses because of eye defects. People who wear glasses get tired after a certain period of time during their work. This fatigue in the eyes further increases the visual impairment. Glasses are not comfortable for most people. They are not comfortable while running, swimming, or working in jobs that require body strength.
Using glasses causes many difficulties. These types of difficulties can also be found in different varieties. Lasik eye surgery states that it has a solution for eye defects and glasses. Of course, there should be other solutions like a man-made lens. People who wear glasses try to use lenses after a certain period of time. But this will not take long.
Not all lenses are suitable for all eye structures. Lenses cause dryness and redness of the eyes after a certain period of time. If lens hygiene is not provided, this situation causes inflammation in the eye in the future. For these reasons, lenses are not a solution to visual impairments. There is one last solution is surgery.
Having Lasik eye surgery can be seen as a certain solution for visual impairments. There are people who have the same problem after surgery. Despite this, it is a small number of possibility to have the same problem again. If the diopter value has not stopped increasing, laser surgery may not produce a solution.
This surgery is recommended to be performed after a certain age. Because of advanced ages, the number of glasses has stopped increasing. Laser surgery is applied to suitable patients. And after laser surgery, myopia patients recover 95%. This rate is 70% in patients with hyperopia. You can contact us for more details about myopia and hyperopia.
How Lasik Eye Surgery Is Applied?
Lasik eye surgery is an operation that intervenes in the retinas of the eyes. The eyes very delicate organs in our bodies. They are located in our faces and open to any harmful activities. Even if when you get a strong wind blowing, your eyes can be damaged by particles in a windy environment. Thus, these conditions of eye structure should be thought that surgeries are difficult to be handled. Despite this, it is applied by laser technology.
Through technological developments, laser technology has started to be used in medicine. There is plenty number of applications of laser in medicine. Medical surgeries are now operated by two kinds. One of them is classical surgeries applied like in past. Another type of surgery is the operations applied by laser. Using laser technology urges both patients and surgeons on having a successful surgery. Since it is safe and fast operation Lasik eye surgery in fashion among people who have eye defects.
The surgery application is based on some procedures. First of all, the place where the surgery will be performed is arranged and cleaned properly. Then, necessary eye drops are applied to the patient’s eye to be operated on. Eye surgery takes place with millimetric movements. Therefore, it is not a desired situation for the patient to move.
Therefore, the patient is given sedatives. Eyelids should be open. So, eyes are kept open with the necessary equipment. The retina on the eye is removed as a cover with a laser. The retina is then placed back into the eye by adding the | [

The Salt Lake Valley is an alluvium valley where seismic amplification measured at some sites can exceed a factor of 10 relative to hard-rock sites adjacent to the basin. It is important to understand the causes for these amplifications in order to predict which sites in the Salt Lake Valley are most prone to strong ground shaking.
Towards this end, finite-difference synthetic seismograms were used to successfully characterize key parameters controlling low-frequency SH-wave amplification in the Salt Lake Valley. Plane-wave source synthetic seismograms reveal that SH-wave amplification in the frequency band 0.2 to 2.0 Hz is primarily controlled by the two shallowest lithologic units, the 0.25 to 1.0 km thick unconsolidated alluvial Quaternary sediments (Vs = 0.98 km/sec), and the underlying 0.5 to 1.0 km thick semi-consolidated Tertiary sediments (Vs = 1.42 km/sec). The Quaternary sediments tend to increase the coda duration, while the semi-consolidated Tertiary sediments act as a wave guide to trap the low-frequency seismic energy.
It is also found that the basin can cast a seismic shadow over adjacent bedrock sites, inhibiting seismic wave propagation to sites adjacent to the basin. Calibration of valley site amplification to these bedrock sites may result in overestimation of basin site amplification. Finite-difference synthetic seismogram modeling can clearly demonstrate the significant effects of deep basin lithology and geometry on low-frequency site amplification observed across the Salt Lake Valley. | [

Everything You Need to Know About Essential Hydraulic Systems Components
No matter what type of hydraulic system and where it is used—construction vehicles, manufacturing equipment, mobile systems, etc.—they will all share similar hydraulic parts and components. It is essential that you know the characteristics of each of these components so you can better understand how they allow the system to function correctly.
#1. Hydraulic Fluid Reservoir Tank
The hydraulic fluid that flows through the system is stored in the hydraulic fluid reservoir. Therefore, the reservoir should not be in any way open to the elements so as to prevent contaminants from getting into the hydraulic system. Contaminants will affect system performance and could lead to system failure.
#2. Hydraulic Hoses and Pipes
Various hoses and pipes are used to transmit the hydraulic fluid through the system to different parts and components.
#3. Hydraulic Pumps
To energise the fluid in the system, hydraulic pumps are required. The inlet side of the pump will be connected to the reservoir.
Pumps work in conjunction with hydraulic valves and are a necessary part of the system’s ability to convert mechanical energy into hydraulic energy. Depending on the type of system, you could have gear pumps, piston pumps, or vane pumps or a combination of different pumps.
#4. Power Source
There needs to be some sort of power source to run the system. For example, in mobile hydraulic systems is often a diesel or a petrol engine, such as on construction vehicles, lorries, and farm equipment. As the engine runs, it supplies mechanical power to the hydraulic pumps, which then supply hydraulic power via hydraulic valves to hydraulic motors and other hydraulic actuators, parts, and components.
For non-mobile hydraulic systems, the most common power source is an electric motor. As the electric motor runs, it mechanically powers the hydraulic pumps to push hydraulic fluid through the system.
#5. Hydraulic Actuators
Some of the most common types of hydraulic actuators are hydraulic motors. A hydraulic motor is responsible for converting hydraulic flow and pressure into mechanical energy to provide the necessary torque and rotational power to perform the desired functions.
Motors come in different sizes and configurations, such as piston motors, orbital motos, gear motors etc. The oil flow and motor displacement determines the motor’s speed (RPM). As a result, valves can control and regulate the amount of force and mechanical energy created.
Another type of hydraulic actuator found in hydraulic systems is the hydraulic cylinder. As the cylinder rods move in and out of their bores, they also help convert hydraulic flow and pressure into mechanical energy.
Different types of valves can be used in the hydraulic system, such as:
- Directional Control Valves
- Pressure Relief Valves
- Flow Control Valves
Directional control valves allow for the control of individual or groups of actuators in a system. The directional control valve may incorporate other valves, such as pressure relief and flow control into the same assembly. A pressure relief valve regulates pressure by opening and closing at specific pressure levels. Flow control valves regulate the flow rate by adjusting the orifice size through which the fluid passes.
#7. Hydraulic Fluid Filters
There are normally various types of hydraulic fluid filters installed in different locations throughout the system. For instance, there should be filters in the reservoir to help remove contaminants both returning from the system and the return filter and before supplying the pump suction filter. Some systems will also have pressure filters at various stages in the system to further help remove contaminants.
#8. Hydraulic Fluid
Hydraulic fluid is necessary for the system to function correctly. There are different types of hydraulic fluids for various operating conditions and environments. Therefore, it is crucial to use the right type of fluid in your hydraulic system. If you use the wrong fluid, it can cause operational problems that lead to system failure.
Aside from these common parts and components, there are also hydraulic seals, fittings, O rings, and accumulators you should be aware of when they are used as part of your hydraulically powered system.
White House Products, Ltd. for the Parts You Need
By having a better understanding of the common hydraulic system components and parts, you gain a better understanding of how the system functions and operates.

There seems to be something of a debate growing in international education circles over whether it's a good idea to encourage low-cost private schools catering to the poor in developing countries. One of the leading proponents of the idea, Pauline Dixon of Newcastle University, has a new book coming out on the topic and explained her point of view in a TED talk last year.
There seems to be something of a debate growing in international education circles over whether it’s a good idea to encourage low-cost private schools catering to the poor in developing countries. One of the leading proponents of the idea, Pauline Dixon of Newcastle University, has a new book coming out on the topic and explained her point of view in a TED talk last year.
According to research by Dixon and her Newcastle colleague James Tooley, in the poor urban areas they studied in India, Ghana, Nigeria, and Kenya, cheap private schools already outnumber free government schools and, despite their reputation, often provide better educational outcomes:
In each area, we found the majority of schoolchildren attending private schools. In the areas officially designated as “slums” of three zones of Hyderabad’s Old City, we found 918 schools, of which only 35 percent were government schools, fewer than the 37 percent of unrecognized private schools. In total, 65 percent of schoolchildren in those low-income areas attended private unaided school. In the Ga District of Ghana (the lowincome suburban and rural area surrounding the capital city of Accra) we investigated 779 schools in the same way, finding that only 25 percent were government schools and that 64 percent of schoolchildren attended private school.
In the “poor” areas of three local government districts (one rural, two urban) of Lagos State, Nigeria, we found 540 schools, of which 34 percent were government, and the largest proportion, 43 percent, were private unregistered. An estimated 75 percent of schoolchildren were enrolled in private schools.
The raw scores from our student achievement tests show considerably higher achievement in the private than in government schools. In Hyderabad, for instance, mean scores in mathematics were about 22 percentage points and 23 percentage points higher in private unrecognized and recognized schools, respectively, than in government schools. The advantage was even more pronounced for English. In all cases, this achievement advantage was obtained at between half and a quarter of the teacher salary costs.
On the flip side, University of Maryland Professor of International and Comparative Education Steven J. Klees lays out the case against private schools in a blog post, arguing that there’s no credible evidence that private schools improve educational outcomes and that they’re not worth the risks to equity and educational access or the damaging effect they’ll have on the public school system. "While some may not want to go as far as Cuba and Finland which ban private education, the aim should be to improve public schooling so there is little need for private education," he writes. "Privatization is based on ideology, not evidence."
In a recent presentation at the World Bank, senior economist Jishnu Das takes a more balanced view, arguing based primarily on research in Pakistan that the proliferation of private schools is already changing the educational landscape in developing countries:
Since 1987, the number of private schools in Pakistan has increased more than 10 times, from 3,300 in 1987 to 47,000 in 2005, the latest year for which data are available. More than one-third of children in primary schooling in Pakistan are enrolled in such schools.
Unlike elite schools that the term "private school" usually invokes, the standard private school in Pakistan is in the home of the head teacher, with two rooms, a handful of teachers and 120 children. It costs less than a dime a day. These schools hire young, local women without teacher training and then pay them market wages, which are much lower than in the public sector. In fact, private school teachers earn just one-fifth of an average salary of public school teachers.
Pakistan isn’t alone. About 15 percent, more than 50 million children, are attending private schools in South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa alone. And the pace is increasing, after a drop between 1980 and 1990.
That, Das says, represents both an opportunity and a challenge for educational policy.
On the one hand, students from private schools have better test scores in mathematics, Urdu and English and a better grasp of civic knowledge than public school students. For example, they are more likely to correctly name the prime minister and the name of a neighboring country….

5 minutes with Essie Weingarten
No one captures how happy the perfect nail polish shade can make a woman like Essie Weingarten, founder of
essie nail polish. With her nails gleaming (courtesy of a slick of shiny red A List essie polish) backstage at the
Chloé Comme Parris show at Toronto Fashion Week, she’s getting her makeup touched up pre-show. The friendly energy buzzing around her is just as quippy, quirky and fun as her
nail polish names. “I have to say, you have the best backstage,” she says excitedly. “It’s awesome!” Since launching her first line of shades in 1981, Weingarten’s collections have set trends, created staples and helped make nails your best accessory. And I’m already dreaming about her fall 2012 collection. “Very rich, intense, I think they’re amazing,” she explains about her upcoming collection. “I think it’s the best collection I’ve ever done.” In my quick five-minute interview, Weingarten shares her thoughts on the latest nail trends.
The new neutrals Gone are the days of translucents in plain old beige and pink. Today we pick from seafoam green, taupey grays, the palest blues, lavenders and more. “Neutrals are not sheer anymore. You have more colour, but in a subtle way, and they all become a classic, basic neutral,” says Weingarten. Take the latest essie wedding collection – the palest shade of green (Who is the Boss) could easily become your new summer neutral. “It’s just a dreamy, creamy green that’s gorgeous and universally flattering. You can wear it with any colour and it really just works.” I’m thinking the remaining wedding collection (out in April) will be equally as dreamy with a white polish (Instant Hot) and a milky lavender hue (Love and Acceptance).
Nail art lovers rejoice! Is the nail art trend dying down? Not quite. It’s just taking a different spin into more subtle creations. Case in point: The textured nails at Chloé Comme Parris in the shade Wicked that looked as though they were embroidered. “I don’t see it out there as much as what we have been enjoying the last couple of months, but coming back to a more wearable look,” Weingarten says. “Now you’re not dressed if your nails aren’t done in some way. It brings out your personality and it gives someone something to talk about.”
The best summer accessory Weingarten confirmed what we already knew to be true. Nails are the best accessory. As Weingarten puts it, “It’s your calling card to the world. People look at your eyes, your shoes and your hands.” It’s the best way to show your personality, whether that be with a slick of cherry red, deep navy, pink or an arty interpretation on your nails. But Weingarten’s best summer tip? Go bright and bold with neon. “Even if you wear all black you have to do it because it has such spunk and it makes you so happy!”

The drain of students could lead to school closures, loss of funding and increased costs for PPS. District leaders are searching for solutions.
Pittsburgh Public Schools has experienced steady declines in student enrollment over recent years, and the state predicts it will only continue to drop.
PPS’ latest enrollment numbers, released in November, show a student population of 18,650, down from 19,160 in 2021-22. The state Department of Education predicts that the district will lose another 5,800 students by the school year 2031-32, bringing enrollment numbers down to nearly 12,800 students.
Ted Dwyer, chief of data, research, evaluation and assessment at PPS, said a shrinking regional population is the major reason for declining student enrollment in the district. According to his research of enrollment trends since 2008, the district has seen a consistent 2% annual drop in enrollment since 2008-09. The loss was more pronounced during the pandemic; the district lost 3.9% of students in 2020-21 and 6.3% last year.
“That’s also something that was seen in a lot of districts for the pandemic period, but for the 2022-23 school year, we see based on our October enrollment, a 2% loss again, so we’ve gone back to where we were before the pandemic,” Dwyer said.
PPS already has excess building capacity of about 19,545 seats, as reported in advocacy group A+ Schools’ 2022 Report to the Community.
With fewer students in schools, it may become difficult for the district to keep up with the increased costs of maintaining its aging school buildings, leading to potential school closures or bids to consolidate with other school districts. | [

Although official efforts to control air pollution have traditionally focused on outdoor air, it is now apparent that elevated contaminant concentrations are common inside some private and public buildings. Concerns about potential public health problems due to indoor air pollution are based on evidence that urban residents typically spend more than 90 percent of their time indoors, concentrations of some contaminants are higher indoors than outdoors, and for some pollutants personal exposures are not characterized adequately by outdoor measurements. Among the more important indoor contaminants associated with health or irritation effects are passive tobacco smoke, radon decay products, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, formaldehyde, asbestos fibers, microorganisms, and aeroallergens. Efforts to assess health risks associated with indoor air pollution are limited by insufficient information about the number of people exposed, the pattern and severity of exposures, and the health consequences of exposures. An overall strategy should be developed to investigate indoor exposures, health effects, control options, and public policy alternatives. | [

Usually, a standard set is recommended: according to the regulations, it is necessary to carry a first-aid kit, which no one checks and in which there are now only plasters and a fire extinguisher, which is the cheapest and which is needed purely for paper. Unfortunately, they do not really spread about other things in driving schools.
In general, there are few situations that a driver who is not a car mechanic can handle, but they are common. Nevertheless, in this article I want to talk about the minimum set of things that it makes sense to purchase and carry.
The first case is a tire puncture. Usually it is small and usually it is detected already upon returning to some parking lot. and here it makes sense to carry a) a spare wheel (about which usually no one remembers either) b) a wheel wrench (well, if there is one) c) a jack (even less likely than a key).
But! Look, if the car is on a slope, then it makes sense to take a jack with a lower support platform that has more than a “pack of cigarettes”, otherwise it will be not only impossible to raise a car, but it’s also unsafe, and even try. Therefore, we take a good jack with us and learn to use it! you still need to know where to hook it.
The second, it may be better to pump up tires and drive out to a more even place or even drive a little carefully to a nearby tire fitting. This means, we take with us a tire inflation device, it’s better not the cheapest and also learn to use it, at least know where to look in order to understand how to download a tire
Third, in general, we learn to use the tire mount and change the wheel, it is interesting and useful!
You can also try to test a fire extinguisher, suddenly somewhere a forest or road fire will light up, because extinguishing something in a car with an ordinary fire extinguisher is not a very serious thing. Typically, cars burn quickly and efficiently (sometimes a couple of minutes and that's all), while you get the device, and a small fire like in the engine compartment will pour out at least half the cost of the car. In general, in order to successfully use a fire extinguisher, you need to be very lucky. So that it was not a fire, but smoldering, in order to be in time, so that it did not end immediately and so on. But to experience and learn how to work as a fire extinguisher is just fun and fervent, so learn!
A first-aid kit with plasters is about the same fun, but it’s better go to emergency courses, it takes two half days, they will tell you there, or maybe they will attach simple and no-brainer, much more important and serious ones to auto-theme things. For example, the fact that it is better not to touch the victim at all, not to drag him anywhere and better to learn how to call emergency services, than to "take part" if you don’t know how to do it safely. At the same time they will tell you what it is possible to have with knowledge - put it additionally in the medicine cabinet. For example, a special small cover that can be really life-saving in contrast to the patch.
And, let's think - what usually happens, if that: right, a tow truck. And this means you need an “ear” for towing (and you need to know where and how to screw it), as well as a cable (and in the case of a neighbor stuck in a snowdrift - roughly understand how to start towing, shop nothing to break). Tow trucks are usually thrifty, but you will be much calmer in an already stressful situation.
That is, we get that is really worth the "carry": emergency courses, a pumping device, a mount, the correct jack, the "ear" with a tow rope and the main thing is the ability to use all this. In principle, this will already make it possible not to feel like a complete nerd on the road and on the side of the road, and perhaps even help to avoid various troubles, in which case.
In principle, as you travel for maintenance, for example, you can already independently achieve this list and most importantly knowledge. Indeed, fluid and sometimes other things remain from MOT, which can sometimes help if not for you, then it can be for more automated neighbors on the road or in the parking lot. | [

A logic-based approach for computing service executions plans in peer-peer networks
Today, peer-to-peer services can comprise a large and growing number of services, e.g. search services or services dealing with heterogeneous schemas in the context of Digital Libraries. For a given task, the system has to determine suitable services and their processing order (execution plan). As peers can join or leave the network spontaneously, static execution plans are not sufficient. This paper proposes a logic-based approach for dynamically computing execution plans: Services are described in the DAML-S language. These descriptions are mapped onto Datalog. Finally, logical rules are applied on the service description facts for determining matching services and finding an optimum execution plan. | [
