RESEARCHERS today said they discovered a batch of three "super-Earths" orbiting a nearby star, and two other solar systems with small planets as well.
They said their findings, presented at a conference in France, suggest that Earth-like planets may be very common.
"Does every single star harbour planets and, if yes, how many?" asked Michel Mayor of Switzerland's Geneva Observatory.
"We may not yet know the answer but we are making huge progress towards it," Mr Mayor said in a tatement. | [

Authors: National Kansas Committee
Date: January 5, 1857
This testimony, recorded by the National Kansas Committee, describes the Kansas experience of Lemuel Knapp, a settler who emigrated to the area near Fort Riley, Kansas. His statement includes personal information as well as comments on the development of Pawnee City and the role that it played in the early years of Kansas Territory. It also relates an account of how the President ordered the destruction of Pawnee City because the newly drawn boundaries placed it on the Fort Riley Military Reserve.

Letter, G. U. Parsons, Minister, and Benj. R. Edmonds, Clerk of Congregational Society, to the Committee on Church Extension of the General Association
Authors: Edmonds, Benjamin R.; Parsons, G. U.
Date: March 19, 1858
Writing from Ogden, Kansas Territory, the authors stated that they had been voted an appropriation by the Congregational Union of New York to build a church but that had not received any of the money. However, their numbers had increased and they had received subscriptions to begin work. They needed additional money to finish the building and were requesting $200 from the committee. They described the advantages of Ogden being where the Smoky Hill and Republican rivers flowed into the Kansas, near Fort Riley, and with prospects for a railroad.

Wider wealth gap 'harms children'
CHILDREN are the new victims of the widening gap between rich and poor, the charity Barnardos said yesterday.
In the past 10 years, more children were injured as result of accidents or abuse, more lived in poverty and more were expelled from school, according to Unfair Shares, a booklet by Richard Wilkinson, of the Trafford Centre for Medical Research at Sussex University.
Mr Wilkinson, who presented his report to a conference in London, said: 'These trends provide worrying evidence of deteriorating social and psychological conditions among children and young people at a time when income difference in Britain widened on an unprecedented scale. There can be no doubt the growth of relative deprivation is an important factor in these rising trends.'
During the 1980s, the number of children under four receiving serious injuries doubled, and the number added to child protection registers almost quadrupled.
Among older teenagers the number of drug offenders doubled in the 17-29 age group, and the suicide rate among 15- to 24-year-olds increased by 70 per cent in the 1980s. The poorest 10 per cent of the population became 14 per cent poorer (1979-1991) while 80 per cent of the population saw an average 36 per cent increase in income.
Lives and human potential were wasted, 'lowering national standards of attainment, creating anxiety and insecurity among the general population and imposing a huge burden on the public purse.'
Unfair Shares; Barnardos, Tanner's Lane, Barkingside, Ilford, Essex; pounds 5.99.

|VAIN: "Tired Of Being A Slave"
Distribution effective from May 2002 through Swiss Music Pool
|(22:40) Recorded and mixed at Klangatelier by Sven Ischer and Vain Mastering by Toby Lüscher|
|review by dalia "gryphon_spirit"
|Yesterday evening, at Chäslager in Stans (Switzerland), Vain have
celebrated with a nice party the official release of
their first record: this mini CD "Tired Of Being A Slave". So, who
are Vain? Here we go: Vain is a three member young Swiss band (this band was founded in the year
2000!) of the German area that, though at its first experiences, is
already showing the right talent. Musical genre? Well, already from first notes one can understand that this band is playing an authentic alternative, almost depressive, rock, with
many grunge influences and only few nu-metal elements which on the whole
"don't disturb" at all the general soundscape. Their rock schemes develop
above all in a melodic, gloomy area, intensified in some tracks by
an effective austere and unadorned cello support, given by Sylvie who has
co-operated for the record of this CD. Our guys (guitar + bass + drums) already show much
self-confidence with their instruments and it's surely remarkable the
passion with which they mix sadness, melody and hardness, influences
coming from grunge but also, I would say, from a certain typical good
british pop and new own proposals. Their music is really melanchonic but at the same time
lively enough to impact in a catchy way, with good inspiration and chords which can only grow during the future evolution of the band. They don't show heavy and angry guitar attacks, though guitars are
very well underlined, cause, when they want, they can give an acceleration to their sound showing a perfectly hard face, like they do in
track "Alkaline" for example, which also begins with a very valuable and interesting hard loop
and could be envied also by End Of Green.
Very interesting are Roger's lyrics too, cause they show engagment in the social field but are extremely lapidary. There is no need to make long speeches when the world around you is full of unsolved problems and only very few people care about. Or not?. Just to give an idea: from "Alkaline"
things we never see
are all in a way confused (and abused)
It needs centuries to build a world
It takes less to destroy it"
and from "Freedom"
we'll look down
Oh, oh Freedom is the way I gonna live"
or from "24 Hours"
24 hours did I lie
fuckin' hours to see what's coming
24 hours to change her resort
it's not fair, the kids are still sad
they felt so lost, war is in vain
and finally from "Bastard"
"I've the right to be wrong like all the politicians" well indeed this is a question. Who has never been just for a moment absorbed by such a thought?
It's more than obvious that Vain still need to grow and that every track of this CD could be improved if the band could have at disposal the "mega-big -ultra- super - hyper" production means which sorround the famous acts, but what should interest is the potentiality and quality of the band and its music in itself, so methinks that Vain are very talented, and I personally find that Vain express their alternative rock in a very coherent way. Therefore...if well begun is half done... welcome Vain!

The aim of this project was to develop an understanding of how overall biodiversity and specific natural enemies could be enhanced within orchard and vineyard environments to better manage insect pests and to reduce reliance on agrichemicals. Two citrus orchards were used as the model crop production system.
At the completion of this two-year project the fruit sector product groups participating in A Lighter Touch have a ‘toolkit’ of approaches that can be applied to all perennial orchard operations. Find out more about what was learned from this project in the resources below. The final project report summary is available here.
A series of grower resources have been produced from this project. These include “how to” guides, video tutorials and presentations from experts explaining the science behind the project. Links to all of these resources are provided here. | [

Just out @ Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology
We use time-series δ18O and δ13C data from seawater and live-collected Conus shells from Panama’s Pacific coast to test the fidelity of the gastropod’s δ13C values as a proxy for the δ13C of marine dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC), and the potential of δ18O-δ13C correlations in shell profiles for resolving relative magnitudes of seasonal upwelling and freshening. Water samples were collected from March 2011 to August 2012 from Naos Island Marine Laboratory, and Conus specimens were collected from nearby Veracruz Beach in July 2013. In general, patterns corresponded with seasonal changes in rainfall and upwelling on the Pacific coast of Panama. During the long rainy season, the upwelling signal is absent and seawater salinity, δ18O, and δ13CDIC all decline. During the dry season, the upwelling signal increases and runoff declines increasing salinity, δ18O, and δ13CDIC values. Shell δ13C values strongly correlate with measured δ13CDIC values, but are lower than expected equilibrium for aragonite by approximately + 2‰ reflecting the incorporation of light metabolic C. The co-dependences of δ18O and δ13C provide reliable indicators of upwelling (negative correlation) and freshening (positive correlation) for nearshore environments, allowing for the study of historical climate change and upwelling based on beach-collected museum specimens.

When I first bought a new house, I realized that the front trees were a little overgrown. I was worried about a branch breaking in the wind and smashing into a window or the roof, and so I decided to invest in professional tree service. When the arborist came, he had more concerns than just a few overgrown branches. Apparently, a few of my trees had also developed serious pest infestations, and I was worried about what it might mean for their health. He carefully trimmed each tree to ward off disease, and within a few weeks, they were looking a lot better. This blog explains how a professional tree trimmer could help you, so that you aren't left with dying trees.
Some people think the dead trees they see in wooded areas can be kind of cool to look at. They are weathered and often have a creepy vibe to them that many people appreciate. However, dead trees are not something that you want to have in your own yard. The information you will read below will explain to you why you should have a dying or dead tree removed as soon as possible. Here are some reasons why dead trees in your yard should be removed:
Dead trees can fall at any time
When it comes to dead trees, there isn't a way to always correctly predict when they will fall. However, something you do need to know is that they will always be at risk of falling. This means whether it be days, months, or even years, at some point that dead tree in your yard will come falling toward the ground, and this presents so many types of danger for you, your family, anyone else on the property when it comes crashing down, and any structure or objects nearby. A gust of wind, or even just gravity, could be all it takes for dead branches to fall at any time.
A dead tree may be contagious to other trees
If it was a disease that killed a tree in your yard, then the tree can be contagious. This means leaving the tree in your yard will continue to put the other trees in your yard at risk of suffering the same fate as that tree. The sooner you have the dead tree removed, the fewer chances there will be of your other trees succumbing to the same issue that caused that tree to die.
A dead tree can increase the risk of a fire
A dead tree can also increase the chances of a fire in your yard, which can spread quickly to your home and other structures on the property. The dry wood can easily catch fire if hot ash were to come on the property from a nearby fire, and this may be all it takes for the tree to catch fire. By removing the tree, you will also be getting rid of that added chance of fire.
A dead tree can take from the curb appeal
Another thing to consider is that while a dead tree may look neat out in the wilderness, it will take from the look of your yard. When you put time and money into your yard looking nice, you don't want to have a dead tree become an eyesore and take from everything you have done. Once you remove the tree, it can significantly improve the look of the yard.

My artwork is focused on digitally enhanced surrealistic collages composed of abstract pencil on paper drawings. The original drawings are produced through a process I call transcendoodle meditation--a tongue-in-cheek reference to doodles created while my brain is engaged in other activities. The surrealists referred to a similar process as automatic drawing (also known as surrealist automatism). These processes are a means of expressing the subconscious. The results of my process are relatively simple abstract lead pencil on ruled notebook paper drawings. They're never done with a design in mind and they rarely represent any obvious form. A large portfolio of those drawings, collected over many years, allows me to sort and select unrelated drawings based on line and shape that can work together to create surrealistic collages which are then photographed and digitally enhanced.
Thanks for the interest. | [

Chicago Architecture Center
First-time visitors who come to town for the buildings should head directly to the Chicago Architecture Center’s new (in 2018) home along the Chicago River downtown. Two-story windows frame landmarks like the Tribune Tower and The Wrigley Building. And a vast model of the city uses 4,200 scale-model buildings to orient you for upcoming explorations. A historical film interacts with the tiny city via a light show, helping you visualize events like the Great Chicago Fire. Upstairs in the Skyscraper Gallery, you’ll walk among towering models of the world’s tallest buildings. Other exhibits highlight Chicago’s neighborhoods and show the evolution of the city’s housing over the last 150 years. Check the center’s schedule for info on upcoming programs.
Want to see even more?
The Chicago Architecture Center’s new location perches above the Chicago River docks, where its docent-led architecture cruises aboard Chicago’s First Lady depart.
Open House Chicago, October 19–20
Come on in! During this free event, you can explore interiors of the city’s architecturally significant skyscrapers, theaters, offices, private clubs, sacred spaces and more, including many that are rarely open to the public. The weekend event lets you design your own tour by choosing from among more than 250 buildings across the city. You could step inside the basement vault of the Art Deco Chicago Board of Trade Building; admire the six-sided Seventeenth Church of Christ, Scientist, styled like a Greek amphitheater; or marvel at The Brewster Building, a light-filled 1893 residential masterpiece with a cage elevator and suspended glass-block walkways.
Illinois’ Frank Lloyd Wright Trail
Though the Prairie School pioneer created treasures throughout the state—now collected into an official route for enthusiasts—Chicago claims several must-sees. A young Wright apprenticed on the Charnley-Persky House, now a museum. Robie House, a quintessential Prairie-style home on the University of Chicago campus, routinely appears on lists of the 20th century’s most significant buildings. And The Rookery, an iron skyscraper in the city’s financial district, boasts a dramatic center light court created during a 1905 Wright remodel.
Can’t make it to the Open House?
Inside Chicago Walking Tours takes participants, well, inside notable buildings during educational (and engaging) two-hour tours.
Want an all-Wright vacation?
Book an overnight stay at the Wright-designed Emil Bach House, which has two guest rooms upstairs and a Japanese teahouse in the garden.
Building Blocks and Blocks
Exhibits, performances, tours and talks with architects and artists from around the world fill fall calendars in Chicago. The months-long Chicago Architecture Biennial is the largest architecture and design exhibition in North America (September 19–January 5, 2020). | [

No fortress Britain. No Fortress Europe : Joint statement between ASLEF, the RMT and BFAWU. A united Labour Movement
Joint statement between ASLEF, the RMT and BFAWU.
A united Labour Movement on 8th June 2016
Many great figures of the Labour moment such as Tony Benn, Michael Foot and Bob Crow were firmly against the EU. Millions of Labour voters oppose the EU and we believe a similar number of trade unionists support withdrawal.
Whatever the result of the EU referendum the Labour and Trade Union movement will continue to fight against injustice and austerity.
The EU is anti-worker and cannot be reformed We support a Leave vote in the forthcoming referendum because we believe the EU acts overwhelmingly in the interests of big business and against the interests of workers.
We note that David Cameron secured only very minor changes to EU rules and believe this demonstrates that there is little hope of reforming the EU.
The myth of the EU and workers’ rights
It’s a myth that the EU has won workers’ rights and protections for workers. Nearly all the laws that protect workers in Britain are UK laws which have been won by the struggles and campaigns of the British trade union and Labour movement.
In fact, the EU and its European Court of Justice have accelerated their policy agenda which attacks trade union rights, job protections and wages.
Defend our NHS and progressive legislation
The TTIP trade agreement being negotiated between the EU and the United States will promote big business at the expense of sovereign governments and their organisations including our NHS. Environmental regulations, employment rights, food safety, privacy laws and many other safeguards will also be secondary to the right of corporations to make even bigger profits
The threat to democracy and from the far right
The majority of the laws which affect our lives are now made in the EU and not the UK.
This is a major problem because a distant link between law makers and the electorate creates a vacuum which could be exploited by the far right. Big decisions such as TTIP are being made with very little regard for democratic oversight and cannot be reversed at the ballot box.
Internationalism not isolationism
We are internationalists. We believe workers throughout the world, in Britain, America and Asia, as well as Europe, have more in common with each other than the heads of big business in their own countries. Out of the EU and into the world.
No fortress Britain. No Fortress Europe
Unlike UKIP and others we don’t believe Britain should bean island unto itself. Our country, and indeed many countries, are nations of immigrants. We want everyone to get a fair rate for the job and everyone to have the same rights at work.
We don’t support fortress Britain and so we don’t support fortress Europe. We profoundly regret that children and families fleeing poverty, persecution and war not being allowed in to Europe.
The challenge we need to address is not the distribution of people around the world it is the distribution of wealth and resources.
There is enough wealth for everyone’s needs

The Tenori-On is a musical interface of light and sound. In testing an interface based on the tactility and lighting of a 16×16 grid of switches, Yamaha Designers sought to make playing a musical instrument an enjoyable experience for all.
The 256 switches that make up the Interface are not reserved solely to output sound, they also emit light to add expression to performance. Accordingly, the reverse face of the instrument also features LEDs for audience to see. When performing with a TENORI-ON, sound and light unify in a duality that surpasses the performance styles of other conventional electronic instruments.
The TENORI-ON is a twenty-first century musical interface that will allow even those without any musical knowledge to create and perform music using visual cues and their own intuition. | [

students removed weeds, installed new plants, mulched, and
watered the school’s existing rain garden.
Science Club spent time outdoors on May 27th
working on the school’s rain garden. Students removed weeds
and dried grass clippings, from the surrounding lawn area,
from the garden. Once the garden was cleared students
planted twenty-one new quart size native plants in the
garden. Species included Wild Bergamot, Butterfly weed,
Swamp Milkweed, Purple Coneflower, Blue Vervain, Cardinal
Flower, and Boneset. These new species joined existing
plants from its installation in spring of 2013. During the
planting process a group of students found a slug attached
to the side of a plant.
new plants were installed students added a new layer of
mulch to promote growth and aid in retaining moisture for
the new plants. A group of four students carried buckets to
the water spigot to water the rain garden.

Nigeria now has 20 million out-of-school children, says UNESCO
United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO), in its latest global data, said Nigeria now has about 20 million out-of-school children.
It said there are 244 million children and youth between the ages of six and 18 worldwide who are still out of school.
According to the statistics, India, Nigeria and Pakistan have the highest figures for out-of-school children globally.
The figure in Nigeria was between 10.5 and 13.5 million. But with insecurity and kidnapping of school children, most parents are not disposed to sending their wards to school.
UNESCO announced the figures in a statement, part of which reads: “The new estimates, published online by the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) and Global Education Monitoring (GEM) Report, showed that sub-Saharan Africa remains the region with the most children and youths out of school. It is also the only region where this number is increasing; out-of-school rates are falling more slowly than the rate at which the school-age population is growing.
“The region with the second highest out-of-school population is Central and Southern Asia with 85 million. The top three countries with the most children and youth excluded from education are: India, Nigeria and Pakistan.”
According to Director of the UNESCO Institute for Statistics, Silvia Montoya, efficient use of available data is important to address the gaps towards achieving the fourth goal of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The official said: “UNESCO has long underscored the need to make more efficient use of the data we have. That’s why we’ve brought together administrative data with information from surveys and censuses. By using multiple data sources, gaps are filled, data trends are smoothed, and we can draw consistent time series.”
UNESCO’s Assistant Director General for Education, Stefania Giannini, said: “Global out-of-school numbers are lower than we thought, but far too many children are still missing out. Countries have committed to benchmarks to slash out-of-school numbers by over half by 2030. We must identify solutions during the Transforming Education Summit called by the United Nations Secretary-General, this September, so that countries can deliver on these pledges. All children should have access to quality education.”

Nuclear level densities in Mo94,96,98 and Dy160,162,164 isotopes are calculated using the single-particle spectrum obtained with the Woods-Saxon potential. The level-density parameters, spin cut-off factors, and moments of inertia are studied. Using the available experimental data at low excitation energies, the collective enhancements of the level densities are calculated and compared with those of the phenomenological model. In Mo isotopes, these semiempirical calculations agree better with the experiments in comparison to the phenomenological model assuming a spherical shape.

I studied fine art based printmaking at Grays School of Art and Chelsea College of Art. From there, I became a fellow at Cheltenham College of Art where I experimented with the transference of paper based printing techniques into printed fabric. The quality of line and mark making in etch and lithography based print have been a source of inspiration and my textiles hangings are focused around translations of printed mark making methods into fabric print, fibre and stitch.
My accessories and soft furnishings product range comprises the 'Foliage'collection which is inspired by the nearby Reelig Glen and how it changes in colours and textures with the seasons. I have worked with clients such as The Victoria and Albert Museum, The British Museum Company and Centre des Artes et Ciences in Valencia. I have collaborated with several museums and galleries to produce exclusive products which are themed upon items from their collections. | [

The reality is, despite cannabis being a big player in the bedroom, there is still limited research on its effects. Why? Well, the taboo culture surrounding recreational use of weed and its legality has made this specific topic very tricky; it has prevented extensive research on its efficacy and effects. Cannabis is a schedule I drug in the U.S. (i.e. the federal government ruled that it has high potential for abuse and low potential for medical benefit), thus making it difficult to study in a controlled environment. That being said, in the studies that have been done, there is substantial data to show that cannabis does indeed affect your arousal. Specifically, research focused on climax suggested that usage leads to more orgasms, while others have led to reduced sperm count and even erectile dysfunction (ED).
Like with anything, it truly is an individualized experience and affects each person differently, therefore making it difficult to make broad statements for all. But if you happen to find pleasure when you smoke or use CBD lube prior to getting physical, that’s great! With all of the information floating around (whether cannabis can heat up things in the bedroom, or extinguish them) we recommend keeping an open mind and doing what makes you feel comfortable. So let’s explore how the relationship between weed and sex can affect your sexual relationships with others and your own pleasure!
In a more recent medical survey on this topic, conducted by Becky Lynn, M.D., director of the Center for Sexual Health, it was found that, “people who reported ever using cannabis prior to sex were more likely to report having satisfying orgasms than those who did not use cannabis before sex (and this was a statistically significant difference). And those who reported frequent cannabis use (not necessarily before sex) were also significantly more likely to report having satisfying orgasms than people who reported infrequent cannabis use.”
Although emerging research suggests that marijuana use may enhance sexual function in women, the contrary may be true in men, with erectile dysfunction an issue among users - MD Linx
Let’s break down the science! Weed, aka cannabis, works as a vasodilator, which means it opens blood vessels and increases blood flow to the body. Our bodies also make their own natural version of cannabinoids (endocannabinoids), and within our brains there are multiple receptors that deal with sexual functions and interact with it, such as the amygdala and hypothalamus.
Research suggests that these compounds are already naturally used within our bodies during our regular sexual process, whether we’ve dabbled in cannabis or not! Adding cannabis to the mix helps increase blood flow and “has direct effects on the cannabinoid receptors in the skin and nerve pathways that are involved in perceiving pain. It can also affect some higher order functions, including memory and feelings of fear and anxiety.” (SELF)
It’s important to note that in this case, correlation does not imply causation! There has not been enough research to show how or why this happens to our bodies in terms of our sexual pleasure, but factors such as good blood flow, stress relief, and decreased anxiety are beneficial to pleasure in any situation.
It Can Increase your Sex Drive.
Ancient literature often referred to weed as an herbal aphrodisiac! It’s commonly used to enhance a variety of human experiences, and pleasure is one of them. (Lester Grinspoon, grandfather of modern medicinal cannabis research )
- Dehydration is Natural.
It might make it harder for you to get naturally lubricated. Similar to the cottonmouth experience when smoking weed, your vagina may have a similar dryness.
You'll Crave It Again & Again.
Once you do it high, you’ll likely want to do it high, a lot more. A qualitative study from The Archives of Sexual Behavior found that couples wanted “more sex after the first sexual episode on marijuana.”
- You Can "Over Medicate."
Sometimes it’s too much of a good thing. Ate the entire weed brownie? Too many hits of a joint? Being overly high can derail your arousal and make you want to hit the sheets…for a big nap. Some prefer to try experimenting with marijuana solo before introducing it into a partner setting.
Muscle Tension Washes Away.
Studies suggest that CBD may make sex less painful, due to the endocannibnoids that relax muscles. 40% of women suffer from "dyspareunia" or genital pain before, during or after sex. (Newsweek)

Use the Run And Gun strategy. Don't let the accuracy fool you, as it actually has auto-aim if one manages to get close to the opponent. It has a short range, so one must be close to the enemy to kill him.
- Excellent Damage.
- Excellent Agility.
- Fast reload time, only takes 1.45 secs. to reload.
- This weapon can be buffed by certain equipments
- Fast rate of fire.
- Lots of recoil, thus, low accuracy if the range not close enough.
- Short Range.
- It can be nerfed by either the Cadet Vest and/or the Veteran Scar.
- It has the same firing sound as the Assault Rifle and the SMG Howling.
- Due to its appearance and the nature of it, this gun have many commons to Deadshot's "wrist-mounted" gun, as both are generally carried around the wrist, with barrels shooting with decent recoil.
- In reality, a weapon like the Gatling Punch would be impossible to use and make as a real life gatling gun needs a power source and ammunition, which is not present here, as well as a bolt, bolt carrier group (which is internal) and a trigger group, as well as an ejection port and a place for the magazine. This would create enough weight to the point where it cannot be used one-handed, and even if it could be used one-handed it would be extremely bulky and would be a nightmare to operate.
- It can explode the Explosive Barrels with only 1 bullet.
- It almost has the same firing speed as the SMG Howling.
- This weapon was used by The Cyborg during the Trial 2 of Superstars (Event).
- The Dual Bobcat can be considered as a dual version of this weapon, albeit with a slightly different appearance.

Nuclear fusion, the bodily response that powers the celebrities, is a doubtlessly limitless supply of power that might finish our power worries and dependence on fossil fuels. The development of business vegetation to supply electrical energy from fusion is likely one of the largest medical demanding situations of our time.
In Saint-Paul-lès-Durance within the south of France, 35 international locations are participating to construct ITER, the biggest nuclear fusion reactor of its sort on this planet on this planet. ITER is a kind of magnetic fusion reactor referred to as a tokamak, designed to reveal the feasibility of fusion as a large-scale power supply without a carbon emissions. Building of all of the plant has been underway since 2010 on a 42-hectare web site within the geographical region of Provence.
In the meantime in Italy, the Nationwide Analysis Council of Padua are construction two prototype experiments for the exterior heating of the ITER plasma, referred to as the ‘MITICA’ and ‘SPIDER’ experiments. Those two testbeds will lend a hand scientists additional reinforce and best possible programs that may then be put in on ITER.
As soon as finished, ITER shall be used to habits medical analysis into fusion energy, with the hope of with the ability to reveal the viability of establishing a nuclear fusion reactor. The power is scheduled for final touch in 2025, and the hope is that the primary plasma era shall be accomplished by way of the tip of that 12 months.
If a success, nuclear fusion may just neatly lend a hand international locations scale back their reliance on fossil fuels, resulting in much-reduced carbon emissions, and thus serving to us take on the local weather disaster.
Photographer Luigi Avantaggiato was once granted get entry to to the ITER building web site, and we convey you his contemporary pictures in our on-line gallery.

Area Veterans Receive Big Sendoff Yesterday
Posted: September 18, 2012 @ 6:30 am In Today's Local News
Washington County and surrounding area veterans took part in a special ceremony yesterday before their trip to Washington, DC today.
This ceremony held at the Washington High School included a speech by Cheyenne Cuddeback-Miller who spoke about the importance of learning the stories from World War II Veterans, Washington Mayor Sandra Johnson and Congressman Dave Loebsack.
He tells KCII News he attends as many of these ceremonies as he can. Congressman Loebsack presented a flag that was flown over the U.S. Capitol to the Washington County Veterans Commission and presented the veterans with copies of a Congressional Record Statement honoring their service as well.
Listen to KCII during the day today as we are traveling with the Honor Flight and will be bringing you updates of the events happening in our nation’s capital.

Mott MacDonald’s latest flood defence scheme will see Building Information Modelling be utilised.
On behalf of Aberdeenshire Council, Mott MacDonald are to design the £15 million project in Stonehaven, United Kingdom to protect the community with a ‘1 in 200’ example flood protection from the River Carron in Scotland.
“We have been improving the efficiency of the initial concept design by reducing piling requirements, overall material volumes and simplifying construction requirements,” explained Project Director, Stephen Knight.
“Working with statutory bodies, we are aiming to minimise the impact on the watercourse during construction by maintaining part of the existing river channel where possible.”
Due for completion in 2018, MacDonald will carry out ground investigations and environmental surveys before tackling flood wall and embankment design.
A video flythrough look at what residents can expect from the project has also been released and can be viewed below. | [

The city of Augusta is using modern traffic engineering technology for improved traffic flow and transportation efficiency. The operational hub, known as the Augusta Traffic Management Center (TMC), will officially open its doors Tuesday, March 19 with a ceremonial ribbon cutting celebration.
The traffic center, located at 452 Walker Street, Suite 110, Augusta, Ga., will be showcased beginning at 11 a.m. Officials from the city, Georgia DOT and the Transportation Investment Act (TIA) Office are scheduled to attend.
The Intelligent Transportation System Master Plan Implementation Project was funded with $4.5 million TIA Band 1 funds.
TIA dollars powered installation of a new seven-mile traffic engineering fiber optic network throughout Augusta-Richmond County and allowed the construction of the new TMC to coordinate and monitor traffic activities in real time. The master planning also covered an emergency preemption system, allowing for improved response times throughout the area.
“We’re excited to see this behind-the-scenes TIA project in action. I commend CSRA voters for approving a project that will help Augusta get the best out of the many physical roadway improvements being made in the area,” said TIA Administrator Kenneth Franks.
The Augusta TMC technology equips traffic signal technicians and engineers to improve safety and reduce delay throughout major corridors.
“We can now directly communicate with over 200 traffic signals in our system,” said Assistant Director for Augusta Traffic Engineering John Ussery. “We also have access to 75 new high definition pan-tilt-zoom cameras to assist technicians with monitoring traffic throughout the area. These improvements will allow for better coordination of major roadways, faster response time if a traffic signal malfunctions and improved high-level event monitoring and response.”
In 2012, voters in three Georgia regions – River Valley (RV), Central Savannah River Area (CSRA) and the Heart of Georgia Altamaha (HOGA) – approved a 10-year one percent sales tax to fund regional and local transportation improvements. Over a decade, a total of $1.5 billion in new revenue is expected to be generated and dedicated to transportation improvements in these regions.

The 422's come already preset at 1 inch lower than stock ride height. However, at that height we didn't like how high the fender was sitting over the tire so we used the jack to get the tire to set inside the fender. You can see that the swingarm/rear shock mounts didn't line up so we loosened the lock nut and adjusted the ride height settings on the shocks. The more threads exposed on the adjustable eye, the lower the bike will sit. We made sure to adhere to the instruction warning of not running out more than 9/16 inch of exposed threads, measured from the locknut to the end of the threads (arrows). | [

You have more than one vehicle that needs charging and so you end up moving the charger from one vehicle to the next often. Then you know what a pain that can be, particularly if you have one of the more powerful and heavy automotive battery chargers.
What is the solution? You could buy a smaller and lighter battery charger, but that almost always equates to longer charging time. You could buy more than one charger maybe even one for each vehicle. Now you are talking double the cost and double the storage headache. One other option you may not have considered is to buy a car battery charger on wheels.
Wheeled chargers can be very large and powerful but easy to transport and move around your garage. Mechanics in auto service centers already enjoy the back-saving power of a wheeled auto battery charger. They need one because they charge countless cars in a year and lugging a heavy battery charger around the garage is just not an option. Yes, they are more expensive than similar chargers without wheels, but you can eliminate the cost of an additional charger. Further, they don’t cost double for twice the performance. | [

Brock Vergakis of The Associated Press reports:
So packed is the parking lot at Utah’s busiest driver’s license office that on certain days people circle it endlessly in their cars, waiting to pounce on an elusive open spot. Some give up, and park illegally.
Lines of frustrated customers often stretch outside the busy office into the bitter cold. Others stream out, frequently muttering obscenities after waiting for hours – sometimes only to be told to come back another day.
The wait-times have ballooned in part because of efforts by Utah to comply as of Jan. 1 with the federal Real ID Act by issuing driver’s licenses designed to prevent forgery – requiring verification of birth certificates, Social Security numbers and immigration status.

A remarkable new species of Ormosia (Leguminosae: Papilionoideae: Sophoreae) from Bahian Atlantic Rain Forest, Brazil

- Cardoso, D.B.O.S., Meireles, J.E. & de Lima, H. Brittonia (2009) 61: 22. doi:10.1007/s12228-008-9051-y

Ormosia timboënsis is described and illustrated as a new species based on fruit and leaf material collected in a fragment of Atlantic Rain Forest in central Bahia State, Brazil. This new species can be recognized by possessing the largest seed and hilum of those that have been reported in Ormosia. In addition, O. timboënsis has leaves that in combination with the fruit characters do not match any species currently described in the genus.
Key WordsAtlantic rain forestBahiaLeguminosaeOrmosiaSophoreae
Ormosia timboënsis é descrita e ilustrada como nova espécie baseada apenas em material com folha e fruto coletado em um fragmento de Floresta Atlântica ombrófila na região central da Bahia, Brasil. Esta nova espécie pode ser diferenciada por possuir semente e hilo dentre os maiores já vistos em Ormosia. Além disso, O. timboënsis apresenta folhas que em combinação com os caracteres do fruto não permitem acomodá-la em nenhuma das espécies atualmente descritas no gênero.
Ormosia Jacks. comprises ca. 130 species of predominantly tropical papilionoid legume trees, about 80 of which occur in the neotropics and with the rest in eastern Asia to northeastern Australia (Rudd, 1965; Polhill, 1981; Pennington et al., 2005). Within the Neotropics, the genus reaches its greatest diversity in Brazil with approximately 40 species, the bulk of which occur in the Amazon region (Ducke, 1939; Rudd, 1965). Ormosia is traditionally assigned to the tribe Sophoreae (Bentham, 1862; Ducke, 1939; Rudd, 1965) because of its free keel petals and staminal filaments. Recent phylogenetic evidence, however, reveals that Sophoreae is polyphyletic (Käss & Wink, 1997; Doyle et al., 2000; Pennington et al., 2001), and that Ormosia is the sister of the Genistoid clade (Pennington et al., 2001; Wojciechowski et al., 2004; Lavin et al., 2005). Although Yakovlev (1971, 1972) segregated Ormosia in six genera, it has been accepted as a single genus (Polhill, 1981; Pennington et al., 2005), which can be diagnosed by the combination of its well formed, clearly imbricate calyx lobes; incurved style with a terminal or oblique (usually bilobed) stigma, and seed with a hard testa that is often red, black, or bicolored (Rudd, 1965; Polhill, 1981).
Ormosia had its American species revised by Rudd (1965). It is among the several papilionoid genera bearing a very conservative floral morphology (Polhill, 1981; Pennington et al., 2000), and so, presents few taxonomically useful floral characters for distinguishing between species (Rudd, 1965). As a result, Rudd (1965) based her work almost entirely on fruiting and leaf features for improving the taxonomy of Ormosia. Moreover, the use of floral characters has been neglected due to the difficulty in finding complete material among herbarium specimens.
During the course of a taxonomic study of the tribe Sophoreae in Bahia State (Cardoso et al., unpublished data), it was found that one specimen of Ormosia recently collected only in fruit presents a set of striking characters that does not match any known species of the genus. As the present taxonomic species circumscription within Ormosia is mostly based on overall fruit morphology (Rudd, 1965), the new species is herein described and illustrated based only on the fruit sample.
Ormosia timboënsis inter species sectionis Ormosiae seriei Coccinearum venis tertiaribus foliolorum tenuiter reticulatis, fructibus laevibus, seminibus bicoloribus, rubris et nigris pertinens, sed seminibus manifeste amplioribus, 18–23 × 18–19 × 12.5–13.5 mm et | [

The Kingdom is the most technologically advanced hospital in Denmark, a gleaming bastion of medical science. A rash of uncanny occurrences, however, begins to weaken the staff's faith in science--a phantom ambulance pulls in every night, but disappears; voices echo in the elevator shaft; and a pregnant doctor's fetus seems to be developing much faster than is natural. At the goading of a spiritualist patient, some employees work to let supernatural forces rest.Written by
James Meek <firstname.lastname@example.org>
The large factory-like building that Dr. Helmer (Ernst-Hugo Järegård) surveys with his binoculars from the hospital roof is the Swedish Nuclear Power Plant at Barsebäck. Due to its proximity to Copenhagen it was a frequent source of friction between the two countries until it was shut down in 2005. See more »

To me, this was the production that made Lars von Trier stand out as an extraordinary movie director and the movie, that finally pushed the Danish movie scene in the right direction!
It sort of founded the modern Danish dogma/dogme inspired movie style with its grainy colours, rash use of cutting and camera movement as well as strange, yet very realistic acting. All used to develop the perfect atmosphere around a good horror movie! There is just one thing you must remember when watching Riget/The Kingdom. It is a movie. It is entertainment. It is no comedy, yet nothing in the movie is serious. It uses sick and sometimes just weird ways of building up the horror. It doesn't have to make sense.
A lot of people may not like this because it is typically Danish, which may easily frustrate anyone who is only used to high budget Hollywood movies. The not-so-obvious deeper meaning between the lines as well as all the bold and underlined lines that have no meaning at all could confuse certain minds, but if you are prepared for a bunch of self-irony and sweet horror scenes, and if you like writers/directors such as David Lynch and Chris Carter, you are going to love this!
It is nice to see that mentally freaked out horror movies didn't die out with The Exorcist, and this definitely isn't any worse!

Whether you are a seasoned truck driver or new to the career, you are probably aware of the many expenses that go along with this profession, including tolls. Toll roads are currently in 34 US states and can pose major costs to freight carriers. As a truck driver, it is important to understand how different tolling systems across the US operate so you can avoid costly mistakes when transporting freight.
Different Methods of Determining Toll Charges
There are three main methods of determining how much you will be charged for tolls.
- Toll by Axle Count
Toll by axle count is the most common way of figuring out toll charges, with 5-axle, single trailer trucks being the most common configuration. Other stipulations such as single versus double tires, number of trailers, and axles-per-trailer will help determine the toll charges.
- Toll by Size
The dimensions of the truck is another common method used in determining toll charges. These dimensions include width, height, and length of the truck.
- Toll by Weight
Some tolling stations charge truck tolls by weight, which might be surprising to some. You may not realize it, but when you pull up to the pay booth you are driving onto a scale that is weighing the truck and applying the appropriate fee.
How Do Truck Drivers Pay for Tolls?
Truck drivers pay for tolls two ways: cash or all-electronic tolling.
Although paying with cash is still an option, there are an increasing number of toll stations that no longer accept cash. If you pass through a toll booth that is being managed by an attendant, you will be able to use cash. However, this can slow you down some.
All-Electronic Tolling (AET)
AET is a cashless service that enables toll collection through transponders or license plate readers. It also gets rid of the need to stop to pay a toll. More and more toll stations are installing transponder readers and video cameras to capture the license plates of vehicles that do not have transponders. Drivers will then receive a bill by mail to the address registered to the plate. Two examples of common AET transponders are EZ Pass and NationalPass. The EZ Pass is a battery-operated machine that is mounted on the windshield and can be used in 17 states. It is activated by prepaying and allows drivers to pass through a toll booth without stopping. The NationalPass does cost more than the EZ Pass, but it provides access to all toll roads in the US without having to transport more than one transponder. As a truck driver your driving will involve much use of the interstate, therefore, you will want to invest in an option that covers all the locations you visit often.
How to Save Money on Tolls
Besides using a transponder, another way to save money and decrease the difficulties related to tolling is to use the Tollsmart Toll Calculator for trucks. This tool allows you to easily calculate toll costs for a route and find a different route with fewer tolls. As a result, you could save a large amount of money in some areas. The app also informs you of which transponders and method of payments are accepted at each toll station on your route.
Toll roads and toll stations can be a frustrating part of anyone’s journey, especially for truck drivers who are expected to keep to a schedule and arrive at their destination by a certain time. Knowing ahead of time what to expect at toll stations, how your toll will be determined, and the options for payment will help ease any anxiety or problems that could potentially happen. If you have questions regarding toll stations, contact Direct Freight at (888) 894-4198. Any one of our staff members would be happy to answer your questions! | [

Goldfaden MD is one of those skincare brands that seems to perfectly blend both science and nature together in its formulations. It is the first dermatologist-developed, naturally inspired skincare brand on the market, co-founded by Dr Gary Goldfaden himself, a dermatologist for over 40 years. The brand tries to build the gap between natural luxury and physical strength/dermatologist formulated skincare, merging tried and tested actives with more gentle formulations based on 'cleaner' and 'greener' skincare. The Goldfaden MD range prides itself on creating superior formulations featuring naturally derived ingredients with effective delivery systems. Most formulations have been inspired by Dr Goldfaden's in-office experiences and patients needs and wants. "We couple scientific, results-driven products with globally-sourced natural ingredients, bridging the “natural” and “physician” product categories at the prestige level in a way no other brand has" says Lisa Goldfaden, Co-Founder of the brand.
I love the Goldfaden MD's philosophy of nature and science working synergistically together to create a product that is gentle, 'clean' and easy to incorporate into an everyday routine. It is rare to see a skincare brand that merges both nature and science and do it well. As you may know, I have been testing the Goldfaden MD Brightening Elixir on and off now for the past 9 or so months, reaching out for it on a regular basis in the mornings. This serum, whilst loaded with tried and true antioxidants and vitamins has been so gentle on my skin. I find that I can use this on days where my skin feels quite sensitised, without any irritation. However, what I have enjoyed most about Goldfaden MD's Brightening Elixir is the how it has left my skin feeling healthy, balanced and radiant - it really feels like this serum has given it all the vitamins the skin needs to protect itself and have it working at an optimum.
***Please note that this product was kindly gifted to me with no expectation of a review. However, I have been so impressed with this that I had to share my love for it via a review. Please note that all my opinions are my own and honest opinions.
What Is It?
Goldfaden MD’s Brightening Elixir is essentially a thin serum that has been meticulously formulated with active ingredients to create a more gentle and clean alternative to your typical brightening/antioxdant serum.
What Does it Do?
The Goldfaden MD Brightening Elixir is a skin-refining treatment helps to enhance firmness, diminish dark spots, protect the skin from environmental stressors and improve skin’s overall tone so that the skin is left looking fresh and radiant. This serum is perfect for those who are concerned with skin issues such as dullness and lost elasticity. It contains some specially chosen actives such as addition of Vitamin C, B3 (niacinamide), B5 (pantothenic acid) and E to help create a brighter, healthier complexion.
The Goldfaden MD Brightening Elixir is one of those 'all in one' products - helping to hydrate, brighten and protect the skin. It is also one of those products that seem to blend both science and nature together so effortlessly and perfectly, taking the very best out of both worlds. What I love about the formulation of the Goldfaden MD Brightening Elixir is its simplicity, gentleness and efficacy on the skin. I personally have really enjoyed using the Brightening Elixir as I have found it hydrating enough to be used on its own. The real magic of this serum happens over time though and I have noticed that my complexion looks healthier, radiant and appears somewhat brighter when used consistently.
Simple, short and fantastic ingredients aside, does Goldfaden MD's Brightening Elixir perform? In a nutshell, yes it does, keeping in mind some of the claims of this product is hard to measure (I can't measure antioxidant activity). I found that each and every time I used this serum, my skin felt hydrated and I did not need to layer an additional hydrating serum underneath. I felt that the Brightening Elixir performed reasonably well when it came to hydrating the skin, as the serum gave that instant plumping effect. Other improvements that I noticed instantly was the evening out and general calming of the skin when this serum/elixir was applied. The cooling, watery gel consistency felt fantastic upon touch and immediately had a soothing effect. I found that it helped to calm and even out any redness after the serum had sunk into the complexion.
In terms of brightening the actual complexion, I found that overtime the Brightening Elixir helped a little in this area. Whilst it didn't brighten the complexion as quickly as some other formulations I have used in the past, I | [

Plans for the north-eastern site include the construction of 505 new homes of mixed tenure
Barnet Council is seeking a joint venture partner for the regeneration of the north-eastern part of the Grahame Park Estate in Colindale, north London worth £145m.
The project involves the demolition of an existing estate of 290 homes and the construction on the site of 505 homes.
The Grahame Park Estate was built in the 1960s and 1970s and a first phase Notting Hill Genesis redevelopment on the site, containing 685 homes, has already been built.
Work is ongoing on a 2,088-home masterplan for the southern part of the site which was green lit by planners in 2020.
For the north eastern regeneration project, Barnet Homes, the local authority’s housing arm, is seeking a private sector residential developer for a 50/50 joint venture.
The aim is to bring the regeneration forward to save an estimated £650,000 in maintenance on the existing part of the estate.
The mixed tenure scheme will deliver 50:50 affordable housing including social rent. It will include commercial and community buildings as well as landscaping and play areas.
Existing residents will have priority for the replacement of social rent homes.
“The partner will work collaboratively across all elements of design, planning and construction to deliver high quality, private sale and affordable residential development, a new community centre and financial returns,” according to the procurement documents.
Once selected, the partner will work with Barnet on pre-construction and construction of the first phase, with the opportunity of a second phase of development estimated at £125m.
Barnet says it might also offer further partnership opportunities in the borough, including the regeneration of Silk House and Shoelands Court estates.
The project will use a £22.4m Greater London Authority grant. | [

Devil May Cry 2 is an action-adventure hack & slash game developed by Capcom Production Studio 1 and published by Capcom in 2003 for the PlayStation 2. It is a sequel to the 2001 Devil May Cry title and the second installment in the Devil May Cry series.
Set in modern times, in the fictional city of Vie de Marli on Dumary Island, the story centers on Dante and Lucia in their fight to stop a businessman named Arius from raising the demon Argosax and achieving supreme power. The story is told primarily through a mixture of cutscenes using the game's engine with several pre-rendered full motion videos.
Despite having been a commercial success, Devil May Cry 2 was criticized for a variety of development decisions, which made the game considerably different from its predecessor; the two most disliked among these decisions was the lowered difficulty and the series protagonist Dante's change in personality.
In 2012, the game was included in an HD compilation, alongside the original Devil May Cry and Devil May Cry 3, ported to the PlayStation 3 and later to PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC in 2018. A Nintendo Switch port was also released on September 19, 2019.
Devil May Cry 2 is an action game where the player guides either Dante or Lucia through an urban environment, fighting groups of demons in fast-paced combat. The game itself consists of missions with specific goals in the play area of the game itself. Like the first Devil May Cry, the player's performance in each mission is ranked from D (poor/Don't Worry) to S (excellent/Showtime) based on the time taken to complete the mission, the amount of Red Orbs collected, the overall "style" displayed during fights which occurred, item usage, and damage taken. In contrast to the rest of the gameplay, the style judging system used in the game has been cited as being the most harsh in terms of how it judges the player's performance.
Combat itself is based on the "style" the player demonstrates during a fight. The rating the player gains for style is improved by hitting enemies continuously while avoiding damage. This ranges from "Don't Worry", progressing to "Come On!", "Bingo", "Are You Ready?" and peaking at "Showtime". If the character takes damage, the style rating falls to "Don't Worry".
The game's controls are simple, converting short sequences of button presses into complex on-screen actions. New to the series is an evasion button, which allows Dante or Lucia to roll, dodge enemy attacks, or run along walls. Another new feature is a weapon-change button, which allows the player to cycle through ranged weapons without switching to the inventory screen.
The game also features puzzle-solving and exploration elements. Gameplay involves the player examining their surroundings to find items and orbs. Red Orbs are used to acquire new combat powers and abilities for the characters. These Red Orbs are "the blood of demons"; enemies drop them when they are defeated. Dante and Lucia can also opt to instead purchase items, which allow them to restore their damaged health or even instantly revive should they be killed by an enemy's attack.
The Devil Trigger ability enables Dante and Lucia to transform into a devil form. This changes their appearance, increases their strength and defense, slowly restores health, and enables them to use special attacks. The Devil Trigger state lasts as long as there is power in the Devil Trigger Gauge, which increases by attacking or taunting enemies in the normal state and decreases by attacking in the Devil Trigger state or using Devil Trigger-only attacks. Unique to this game is the Desperation Devil Trigger — an enhanced form of the Devil Trigger — available to Dante when he is low on health.
- Trish - (bonus character)
- Finis Demons - living cages resembling knights that come in three different types: the axe-wielding agofinis, the sword-wielding terreofinis and the mortfinis, which use shields with serrated edges that they fling at the player like yo-yos.
- Puia - annoying harpy-like demons that are hard to strike unless a ranged weapon is used.
- Mancer Demons - shrouded, ghost-like figures that come in three different types: pyromancers, who use fire magic, auromancers, who use wind magic, and brontmancers, who use lightning magic.
- Savage Golem - a Synthetic Demon that advances slowly and inexorably. When struck, pieces of it begin to disappear until only its legs are left, which then attempt to scurry away. If the legs are not destroyed, an entirely new monster grows from what survives. Its main attack is to suddenly grow long, deadly spikes that strike and then retract.
- Spicere - this demon resembles a cracked spiky meteor which, | [

One sunny day, we had a beautiful play time!
Klimt was not a familiar artist to the children and to me. I chose him for this week project because I wanted to explored about his deep, vibrant colors and beautiful patterns on his paintings. I wanted the children to use variety of colors, textures, yet learn to put them together for this project. I showed several choices of Klimt's paintings to the children and these two pieces were selected.
The Kiss by Gustav Klimt (1907~1908), Canvas, Gold leaf, Oil paint
Beethoven Frieze by Gustav Klimt (1902), Gold, Graphite, Casein paint
The project was a collage using face pictures, magazines, different textures of paper.
O even cut the pieces from Klimt's painting copy and pasted it to blend the colors.
This is O's interpretation of The Kiss. Do you feel the richness of Klimt's colors in O's work?
C chose an excerpt from Klimt's Beethoven Frieze. She loved this picture because of the patterns of the dresses and the peaceful faces of the women. She put three pictures of hers and carefully chose the colors from the magazine. She didn't forget to give golden accent on the dress!
Through this project, I took some time to look at Klimt's paintings and realized how he used elegant and gorgeous colors. The brush strokes were delicate and the face expressions of his models on the paintings were so realistic and elegant.
We are the teachers of Little Atelier. We love to share our fun days, meaningful plays, and memories with you! | [

Spending rates of Macau visitors declined by 70.4 per cent to MOP$5.01billion (US$628million) in the first quarter of the year.
Macau.- Spending rates of Macau visitors declined by 70.4 per cent to MOP$5.01billion (US$628million) in the first quarter of the year, according to figures from the Statistics and Census Service (DSEC).
Spending was severely impacted by the massive decline in visitation due to measures and restrictions in place to contain the spread of Coronavirus.
The figures do not include gaming spend, but still reveal an overall decline in economic activity resulting from the 68.9 per cent fall in visitor arrivals during the quarter to 3,219,170.
Total spend for overnight visitors reached MOP$3.78billion (US$473million) while same day visitors generated spend of MOP$1.23billion (US$154million) down 70.8 per cent and 69.3 per cent respectively.
According to DSEC, per capita spending fell by 4.8 per cent to MOP$1,555 (US$194) while visitors from mainland China spent an average of MOP$1,789 (US$224), down 3.2 per cent. | [

Dear St. Stephen’s Family,
It is so hard to not be together in person, but we are doing Christ’s work of caring for each other – especially the most vulnerable among us – by not gathering in person.
So, let’s continue to join our spirits in worship at www.ststephenslutheran.org anytime on Sunday. It is so important to offer ourselves to God in this way these days. I know you will find it a comfort and blessing. Previous weeks are recorded as well. Please find attached, the bulletin cover artwork, scripture readings & prayers in the Celebrate. | [

Berlin (dpa) – Overshadowed by the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine, the 73rd Berlinale has opened. To mark the start of the Berlin International Film Festival, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky directed an emotional appeal to filmmakers and artists to support his country following the Russian attack. “Can art be outside politics?” he asked in a live video link to the opening gala, explaining that this question has become extremely important again. Both the festival organisers and Minister of State for Culture Claudia Roth promised Ukraine solidarity. The audience responded to Zelensky’s message with a standing ovation.
Minister of State for Culture Roth recalled the importance of culture in times of war and crisis. “Anyone who makes films and who shows films in dark times is resisting the absence of freedom,” said Roth, adding that the Berlinale had celebrated the power of film in dark and in bright times: “The culture of democracy, the culture of diversity and understanding.”
The Berlinale, which alongside Cannes and Venice is one of the most important international film festivals, ends on 26 February. 19 films will be in the running for the Golden Bear. A number of film stars have come to Berlin, among them the actors Anne Hathaway and Peter Dinklage and this year’s jury president Kristen Stewart. The situation facing people in Iran is also to be remembered during the film festival. On the red carpet, several women, including German actor Jasmin Tabatabai, held up a white banner with the inscription “Woman Life Freedom”.

KTX is the native utility token that mints the SuperNFT and runs the KwikTrust Protocol and platform - a decentralised blockchain technology and e-validation platform.
Meet the SuperNFT:
The patent-pending SuperNFT raises the bar for security and usability in the NFT (non-fungible token) sector by introducing validated proof of ownership and locking it to proof of origination and provenance of assets, linking the owner’s identity to a cross-chain fully transferable and tradable digital asset. This allows NFTs to move beyond digital artworks, opening new asset classes, both physical and digital, to NFTs. It enables Web 3.0 token-based economy opportunities with the SuperNFT as a store of value for financial securities, insurance, intellectual property, digital assets in the metaverse, and proof of ownership of physical assets including property and other higher value assets.
The limitation with 'old-style' NFTs is that they aren’t linked to the owner’s identity, and they can be easily lost or stolen. This dissuades people from storing higher value assets as NFTs, ultimately stifling exponential growth in the market.
KwikTrust solves this problem with the introduction of the SuperNFT.
KwikTrust already has hundreds of active user accounts and is growing rapidly, while being revenue-generating and actively operating with enterprises across several sectors, including insurance, property, media, gaming, legal and charity. With use cases across a wide array of sectors, the SuperNFT opens the doors to infinite NFT possibilities.
Imagine a future where not just digital, but physical assets can be minted into a fully transferrable, secure, digital asset.
With the SuperNFT, that future is here.
The KwikTrust Platform:
Behind the SuperNFT lies the KwikTrust Platform. KwikTrust is an e-validation platform that provides provenance and legal protection.
The platform enables self-certified and third-party validation of files, with the results stored securely on a blockchain, creating an irrefutable record of activity.
Users can record and validate intellectual property origination, contracts, accounts, invoices, references, qualifications, identities, video and audio files, and undertake know-your-client checks (KYC). Intellectual property and other assets can be represented digitally - including property deeds, company shares, asset ownership, and validated identities - which can be minted into a SuperNFT as a permanent and transferable record of ownership.
The KwikTrust solution is faster, simpler, more secure and less expensive than competitors. It features triple lock security- each file is locked onto the blockchain with three separate hashes.

Metro Vancouver has started planning for a new Coquitlam Intake No. 2 Water Supply, which will provide access to additional source water storage by the mid-2030s – and help to ensure the continued supply and delivery of water to meet the region’s needs over the next 100 years.
Metro Vancouver residents have steadily reduced their individual water use over the past two decades, largely due to water conservation and efficiency measures. However, as the region’s population continues to grow, the region’s total water use is projected to increase.
The Coquitlam Intake project, which includes water treatment facilities, will allow Metro Vancouver to double the capacity of the Coquitlam Water Supply by accessing more water from Coquitlam Lake, which already provides a third of the region’s drinking water.
The increased storage, along with continued water conservation efforts, will ensure the water system remains resilient to potential hazards and continues to supply and deliver water to meet the needs of the region’s growing population and respond to the impacts of a changing climate. If demands on the system are lower than current projections when the Coquitlam Intake No. 2 is commissioned, this could allow the deferral of the next major water supply expansion project by several decades. | [

INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana State Police are ticketing semitrailer drivers who bypass a closed section of freeway in Indianapolis using city streets.
Sgt. Rich Myers said troopers had issued about two dozen tickets through Monday afternoon to truckers who are using downtown exit ramps and city streets to skirt a section of Interstate 65/70. Restrictions barring the exit ramps to through traffic went into effect on Friday. Trucks making local deliveries are exempted.
The Indiana Department of Transportation has closed the stretch of freeway through Oct. 31 to lower pavement under seven bridges that have been struck repeatedly by oversized loads. Through traffic is directed to use Interstate 465 around the city to avoid the closed section. | [

OTTAWA -- Ottawa residents return to work and school today after a weekend of record rain and snowfall.
Three weather records were set in Ottawa over the weekend as a major storm moved across Ontario.

Re: What would you not tell your wife, or girlfriend.
I don't think there's anything that I'd keep from my partner (well, when I get a partner that is, haha!). A good relationship relies on trust & respect.
One can't fail everything, 'cause failing everything is an achievement itself.

“I didn’t mean to hurt you. I just thought you needed to know, that’s all.”
Peaches said nothing as we sat on the floor of her vestibule. I saw her eyes water up a little and I wanted to cry myself.
“I still love her” I continued without looking at the young girl I had shared such an intimate moment with at the young age of 19.
“I guess I never stopped loving her, if you want to know the truth.”
“You were her best friend in high school and you knew her as much as anybody did” I said, asserting a belief that neither one of us could deny. “I would break up with her, but we’d always got back together every time. You knew that when we first dated.”
“I should have been honest with you. But I liked you, I still like you. And wouldn’t hurt you for anything. But I don’t love you. I love Peggy, and I guess I always will.” Continue reading | [

The Nordenfelt Gun was a manually operated machine gun in use at approximately the same time as the Gatling. It was designed by Helge Palmcrantz and patented by Thorsten Nordenfelt who were both from Sweden. The weapon had a row of 2 to 10 barrels and was operated by ragging a lever back and forth and could fire one barrel at a time or all with a pull of the lever. It fired harder-hitting rounds and gave more stopping power and gave a greater terminal ballistic effect than the Gatling, making this machine gun popular with the Royal Navy for use against Torpedo Boats. A hangfire was also less likely to render this weapon unserviceable due to the longer time between striking and unlocking than in the Gatling. There was also the 'Gardner Gun', similar to the Nordenfelt but with a simpler mechanism and with a crank handle instead of a ragging lever. | [

Sometimes timing just works out perfectly. My daughter was invited to be the flower girl in my husband’s cousin’s wedding early next month (she has been a flower girl a couple times before and SHE LOVES IT), and the bride asked me to make her flower girl dress (which I LOVE).
Lucky for me, the upcoming Britex sale category of poly/rayon/lace and my ongoing status as a guest blogger for them meant I had plenty of wonderful fabric options to choose from to make her the perfect summer wedding flower girl dress.
I decided on this gorgeous Floral Net Mauve Cotton Blend Stretch Lace – it’s a cotton/nylon blend mesh with embroidered flowers. The bride’s colors include purple as an accent, and her dress is white lace and somewhat fitted, so I thought a simple shift dress would work nicely for Em.
I used the Oliver + S Roller Skate Dress pattern to make this dress – I made a size 5 with 2” added to the length and it worked great. Should probably size up to a 6 for the next one though!
To close the dress, I used a little piece of lace hem tape that my grandma left me, and the button is actually the same as what I used for Sadie’s orange unicorn roller skate dress!
The roller skate dress is one of my go-to patterns – I’ve sewn it quite a few times in the past, but typically as a more casual play dress. The pattern calls for a channel sewn at the empire waist and elastic inserted to give it shape. For this dress, I skipped that step and tied a silk sash around her waist instead, for a more formal look.
To allow the flower pattern on the lace to really show, I chose a deep purple cotton lining.
I trimmed the lining an extra 1/2” over what the pattern called for and did not hem the lace, giving the hem a delicate look. The effect is beautiful, I think.
I love that the dress looks fancy enough for a summertime wedding, but is also soft and comfortable for my daughter! Wearability is always the trick with fancy dresses for kids. That and washability, of course.
As far as tips for sewing with this sort of mesh/lace, I just used a finer needle, lots of pins, and was careful about matching thread/serger color. I cut the dress out using pattern weights and a rotary cutter. The mesh is actually more opaque than I expected and wasn’t difficult to sew!
Frankly, as a chronic procrastinator (I finished a prior flower girl dress around 3:30am the morning of the wedding) I’m pretty proud of getting this dress done WEEKS in advance. Now I can rest easy…or wait, maybe I should sew fancy clothes for the boys…or a dress for myself?
I’m sure I’ll find something to keep me up sewing. I always do.
All the fun and gorgeous poly/rayon/lace goes on sale at Britex 6/29! Look at the pretty lace, ooooooo ahhhhhh.

PCB heated bed. I'm working on this idea for nearly two months, inspired by http://www.neufeld.newton.ks.us/electronics/?p=864.
tested at 110W and its working flawlesly, gives 108°C in few mins
Now I'm working on great mounting solution
This is V4
- 22x20cm hated area
- you can select what resistance you want 1.3ohms (110W at 12V) or 21ohms
- you dont need any steel or aluminium on top, just plane kapton tape
(I'm testing it at 21ohms setup with 55V PSU which gives me 144W and about 110-120°C, will test with 12V soon and I'll give a report)
etch it on FR4 35um copper board, should cost about $20 or if you are interested email me I can probably etch some for you. Not tinning or copper plating, this would lower the resistance.
There are 4 resistors on the board, final resistance depends how you connect them by solder bridges. Parallel -> 1.3ohms. Serial -> 21ohms.

Week 7 in ScratchPiBot Club
Both Bots have now got a pair of IR Line Sensors mounted on them 🙂
We tried using the same technique as the bot simulator from last week and managed to get the boys robot to steer its way down the track but it was more luck than programming.
The girls tried their robot out using the same piece of Scratch code but their robot had a different make of sensor and had a bit of trouble detecting the difference between the white paper and the black tape and weren’t so successful.
Next week, we will hopefully combine the ultrasonic sensor with the line follower and get the robot to turn around at the end of the track and come back again. | [

It’s mid-season. This is the time of year that many homeowners relax and kind of forget about their lawns except for mowing. You spent all that hard work this past spring…fertilizer, weed preventer, watering, etc. But if you’re not paying attention, all that hard work can be undone by the heat in mid summer. The lawn coaches at Heritage Lawns & Irrigation have put together a list of signs to look for before your lawn is damaged irreparably by the heat. Pay special attention to the sunny areas of your yard as those are usually the first to show signs of distress.
Weeds Popping Up
Although weeds and grass are two different plants, weeds tend to thrive in the heat while grass tends to struggle. If you see more weeds popping up, that means it’s been very hot and you should keep a close eye on your lawn. Make sure you are watering regularly.
Color Change in Grass
One of the first signs of drought stress is a slight change in color. Your grass will change from deep green to bluish gray. This is a subtle change, so you have to know to look for it. Without enough water and too much heat, your grass blades won’t be able to produce as much chlorophyll to make their color that rich green we all seek.
Curling Grass Blades
Each blade of grass is its own individual plant trying to survive within its environment. When conditions get challenging as they do in the heat of the summer, the blades will show it by curling or wilting. Get down and look closely at your grass. If you see signs of curling blades, your grass is drought stressed.
Footprints that Stay Visible on Your Lawn
Again, this is a subtle sign, but when grass begins to dry out, it becomes less elastic or resilient and takes longer to recover from stress. When it is pressed down by foot traffic, it doesn’t bounce back as quickly. If footprints tend to linger longer than is normal, your grass could use some water.
Bare or Brown Spots
Brown or bare spots are not a good sign. While they are more obvious, when you see brown spots or bare spots, your lawn is extremely stressed and some damage has already been done. Begin watering regularly.

Regular Watering Is What Your Lawn Needs
Your lawn needs at least one to two inches of water every week. This is critical in the middle months of July and August when heat and sun rob the soil of moisture on a daily basis. Deep watering more infrequently is better than watering a little bit every day. Watering in the early morning hours also helps to reduce water loss from evaporation.
Mid-Season Lawn Care Package
If your DIY lawn care plan isn’t working for you, you’re not alone. We hear from many homeowners who just need a little help this time of year. Don’t give up on your lawn. You’ll just create more work for yourself next spring. Instead, take advantage of our Mid-Season Lawn Rescue Package that will help your lawn look better this year and give it a head start on looking great come spring. It includes all of the services your lawn needs from now until November, all at a competitive price. | [

Bishop's Guarded Statement of Support for Embattled Pastor Further Inflames Critics
By Gilbert Garcia
Phoenix New Times (Arizona)
September 14, 2000
For years, Bishop Thomas O'Brien has stood solidly behind the Reverend Saul Madrid in the face of escalating complaints from parishioners. Last week, the bishop took the rare step of publicly criticizing Madrid, but he only succeeded in further angering and frustrating Madrid's detractors, who considered the bishop's statement nothing more than a verbal slap on the wrist.In the September 7 issue of the Catholic Sun, the newsletter of the Phoenix Diocese, O'Brien responded to widespread allegations that Madrid — pastor of both St. Anthony and Immaculate Heart of Mary churches — has failed to provide financial accountability to parishioners, driven two priests out of his parishes in the last year, engaged in questionable personal conduct and allowed St. Anthony to be used for a graphic independent film in which he also had a small acting role ("Immaculate Heartbreak," Gilbert Garcia and Laura Laughlin, July 27).
For the most part, O'Brien defended Madrid, dismissing criticisms of the pastor as "unfair attack by rumor and innuendo." He brushed off suggestions that Madrid may have played a role in the April fire that devastated Immaculate Heart, and vaguely alluded to questions about financial impropriety and sexual misconduct by saying that the diocese "will continue to review Madrid's ministry," but has yet to uncover any wrongdoing on his part.
He made no specific references to Madrid's January dismissal of his entire Immaculate Heart finance council, his removal of statues from his churches, a 1999 brawl in the St. Anthony rectory between Madrid's close friend Martin Pina and then-associate pastor, the Reverend Francisco Hernandez, or Madrid's apparent financial interest — with Pina — in a hair salon.
O'Brien's only concession to Madrid's critics concerned the pastor's involvement in the 1998 independent film, 14 Ways to Wear Lipstick. O'Brien said that Madrid "made a serious mistake when he appeared in the role of a priest in this movie. He also violated diocesan policy when he permitted use of the interior of St. Anthony Church as a setting for a movie scene. Quite frankly, Fr. Madrid exercised incredibly poor judgement in this instance."
This may have been uncharacteristically tough language from the bishop with regard to Madrid, long regarded as one of his favorite pastors, but Madrid's opponents — who on August 11 had demonstrated outside the diocese office and called for both Madrid and O'Brien to resign — considered it empty rhetoric.
"I'm totally upset, because he kept Sa�l," says Julian Sodari, a South Phoenix neighborhood activist and a member of the anti-Madrid group the Christian Faithful. "If the bishop thought he violated Phoenix Diocese policy, why wasn't he reprimanded? The bishop just wanted to sweep things under the carpet and be done with it."
O'Brien's statement put an ambiguous punctuation mark on a volatile month of attacks and counterattacks between Madrid's critics and supporters. Four days after the August 11 anti-Madrid demonstration, approximately 200 Madrid loyalists, dressed in white, marched from St. Anthony to the diocese office for a vigil. At the gathering, Madrid advocate Stella Paolini, a St. Anthony parishioner and host of a Saturday morning show on Radio Unica (740 AM), called for an end to divisiveness in the church. Less than a week later, Paolini and Christian Faithful members engaged in a rancorous radio debate about Madrid.
The ensuing weeks have also seen a series of reports on local television and an expos� on Telemundo's national news-magazine show, Occurio Asi. But aside from an uncomfortable parking-lot exchange with Channel 12 reporter Dean Acosta and a mea culpa interview with the local Spanish-language paper Prensa Hispana, in which he admitted he'd blundered by appearing in the film, Madrid has not spoken to the press.
One of Madrid's strongest defenders has been Daniel Pace, director of 14 Ways. The 40-year-old Scottsdale filmmaker even took part in last month's march in support of Madrid and O'Brien. So it's more than a little ironic that the bishop, in the Catholic Sun, denounced Pace's film as "offensive and of low moral quality."
"Judging morality seems to be a favorite for those in the business of faith," Pace says, "so I understand why the bishop would say that about my film. But the ultimate judge is God, and even the bishop will have to respond to some questions."
The recent brouhaha surrounding Madrid has inspired Pace and his production partner, Richard Trujillo Jr. — son of Madrid's lawyer, Richard Trujillo — to begin | [

Aircraft operations are governed by the Federal Aviation Regulations, more commonly called the FARs. Aircraft speed limits are found in FAR 91.117, which spells out different speed limits for several different situations.
A common speed limit encountered by all airplanes is the restriction to fly at 250 knots (288 mph) or less when under an altitude of 10,000 feet. The vast majority of light general aviation airplanes cannot fly faster than 250 knots and most never go above 10,000 feet, but after every takeoff and before every landing jet pilots must make sure that they obey the speed limit. Above 10,000 feet, jets typically fly at faster airspeeds during cruise flight.
A second speed limit applies below 2,500 feet within four nautical miles of “of the primary airport of a Class C or Class D airspace area.” Class C or D airports are small to medium-sized airports with a control tower. If an airport has airline service, chances are good that it is a Class C or D airport. Many busy general aviation airports fall within these categories as well. The speed limit for these areas is 200 knots (230 mph).
A speed limit also applies beneath Class B airspace. Class B airspace surrounds major metropolitan airports in places like New York, Atlanta, Chicago, and Los Angeles. Class B airspace starts at the surface immediately surrounding the airport then goes higher as the distance from the airport increases. It is commonly described as an “upside down wedding cake.” When flying underneath the outer rings of Class B airspace, aircraft are restricted to 200 knots (230 mph). Aircraft flying through the Class B airspace, like airliners taking off and landing at the main airport, are not subject to the speed limit, but they do have to abide by the 250 knot speed limit below 10,000 feet.
A common misconception even among experienced pilots is that Class B airspace does not have a specific speed limit. Aircraft flying through the Class B airspace, like airliners taking off and landing at the main airport, are not subject to the speed limit, but they do have to abide by the 250 knot speed limit while they are below 10,000 feet.
Class B airspace typically extends from the surface to 10,000 but in some cases it goes higher. For example, in Atlanta the ceiling of the Class B airspace extends up to 12,500 feet. In Denver, where the airport elevation is 5,348 feet, the ceiling of the Class B airspace is 12,000 feet. If an aircraft is descending into the Class B airspace from above, there is no speed limit when it enters the Class B. It can maintain a higher cruising speed until it descends below 10,000 feet.
Outside of these specific instances, airplanes have a limiting “never exceed” speed. This is a speed that is determined by the aircraft manufacturer and is the maximum safe speed for the aircraft to fly. Above the never exceed speed, the aircraft may not be structurally sound, especially in turbulence or if maneuvered abruptly.
Other than these cases, pilots are free to fly their airplanes as fast as they will go and they usually do. At least until the air traffic controllers make them slow down for other traffic.

Nearly a dozen people have lost their lives and several others sustained injuries when warplanes operated by the Saudi-led military coalition and militiamen loyal to Yemen's former President Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi launched separate attacks in the northwestern province of Sa’ada and the central province of Ma’rib over a span of 24 hours.
Local sources, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Yemen’s Arabic-language al-Masirah television network that three people were killed and a woman was injured on Friday, when the warplanes struck Ghafra area in the Dhaher district of Sa'ada.
The source added that the air raid also resulted in the death of dozens of livestock and destruction of the house targeted.
The incident took place only a day after Saudi-sponsored militiamen opened fire at a civilian car travelling along a road in the Raghwan district of Ma’rib province, killing all five occupants.
Moreover, the spokesman for Yemeni Armed Forces Brigadier General Yahya Saree said Yemeni air defense units had thwarted a Saudi-led airstrike against strategic and residential areas in the northern province of al-Jawf.
Saree said in a post published on his official Twitter page that a Saudi-led warplane sought to bombard areas in the Hazm district at 1:05 a.m. local time Friday (2205 GMT Thursday), when the domestically built, long-range Fater-1 (Innovator-1) surface-to-air missile defense system intercepted the jet and forced it off the Yemeni airspace.

Saudi Arabia and a number of its regional allies launched the devastating war on Yemen in March 2015 in order to bring Hadi back to power and crush the Houthi Ansarullah movement.
The US-based Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED), a nonprofit conflict-research organization, estimates that the war has claimed more than 100,000 lives over the past five years.
Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have purchased billions of dollars' worth of weapons from the United States, France and the United Kingdom in their war on Yemen.
Riyadh and its allies have been widely criticized for the high civilian death toll resulted from their bombing campaign in Yemen.
The UN says over 24 million Yemenis are in dire need of humanitarian aid, including 10 million suffering from extreme levels of hunger. | [

“This IR remote control is powered only while one of its buttons is pressed.
To watch TV I needed two IR remote controls, one for my TV set and the other one for my decoder. I wanted to combine them into a single one. The Arduino Project Hub contains several projects that describe IR remote controls, but the specificity of this one is that it is battery powered and that the battery saving has been maximized as far as possible.
The code of this project is specific to the remote controls it replaces, and you can find codes for IR remotes in several projects on the Arduino hub. So I won’t describe my code, and I will only show the hardware solution which allowed power consumption to be limited to the strict minimum.
The remote control is built around an Arduino Nano Every board and 16 push buttons connected to 16 inputs of the board. Of course, you can use fewer buttons. The board is powered by a 9V battery through a P-channel FET. As long as no button is pressed, that FET is blocked and the board is not powered.
The gate of this FET is controlled by the drain of an N-channel FET whose gate is controlled by the buttons through diodes which isolate the buttons from each other. Each button is associated with a 2.2kΩ pull-down resistor that fixes the level of the board input when the button is not pressed. The value of these resistors had to be determined experimentally because when the card is not powered, the behavior of its inputs is not specified.
To complete the description of the circuit, two 220 kΩ resistors fix the level of the gates of the FETs and protect them from ESD. When a button is pressed, a voltage divider is created by a 1.5 kΩ resistor and the 2.2 kΩ associated with the button. This voltage divider applies a voltage of about 5 V to the corresponding input of the board. Finaly, an IR LED is driven by the pin D11 of the board through a 220 Ω resistor.
I don’t know if the board is stressed by these repeated power-up and down, and therefore if it will last a long time before failing, but I know that the battery will last a long time because it is solicited very few.” | [

Massive gas crunch looming ahead of winter
Stay tuned with 24 News HD Android App
The gas load management plan for winter could not be approved yet, meanwhile, sources from the Petroleum Division on Monday stated that people should be ready to face an acute shortage of gas in winter and that domestic consumers would be prioritized under the gas load management plan, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.
According to sources, a proposal has been suggested to provide gas supply to domestic consumers three times this winter for cooking purposes with full pressure.
On the other side, the non-export industry i.e. CNG sector, cement, and fertilizers sectors would experience significant gas curtailment. The gas supply for the power sector can be reduced by 45 percent.
Moreover, Sources claimed that Sui Northern and Southern's gas shortfall can be increased to 1.2 billion cubic feet. Therefore, a proposal for the implementation of the gas load management plan from November 1 has been tabled and it will be implemented after the Prime minister’s final nod.
Sources said that a plan was made to provide up to 350 mmcfd of liquefied natural gas (LNG) to domestic consumers, however, the gas supply for commercial use would be stopped from November 1 and they will be switched to LNG.
Meanwhile, roti, tandoor, and tea cafes would get a smooth supply of gas.

Try to describe someone with just one word, and you can come up many words short of really capturing who they are.
I’ll try it anyway with our Summer, who turns 12 today. The word I’ll pick is energy.
We are mostly a family of phlegmatics, with some melancholy on the side. For those of you who haven’t read personality books, like those from Florence Littauer and Tim Lahaye, the phlegmatic personality is most compared to the ox – slow, steady, reliable. The melancholy personality is concerned with detail, precision, and having things just so. They are also liable to be slow.
Summer gives our Phleg-Mel family a push. Although she has some of the same familial traits, she brings zest and power into the mix. When she’s happy, you know it. She loves to go full throttle, she loves to do things, she loves to try new things, and she loves to love.
Just look at that bright, energetic smile, and you might know what I mean. Even if I didn’t use enough words to fully describe it.
Happy Birthday, Summer! | [

Even the people with no programming expertise, like business analysts, office administrators, and small business owners, are capable of making their applications using the low-code and no-code app development platform.
How do low-code and no-code work?
The conventional software development method is a highly complex process requiring line-by-line coding. One must have in-depth knowledge of programming languages, development environments, deployment processes, and testing protocols.
Platforms with low and no code incorporate all of this background labor. Users visually pick and connect reusable components representing certain phases or capabilities (containing the actual code) to build the appropriate computerized workflow.
Evolution of low-code/no-code tools
Enterprise, banking, and telecom low-code application development platforms have emerged from tools such as Excel, Lotus Notes, and Microsoft Access. These tools are known as Rapid Application Development (RAD). These tools have put some development-like capabilities into the hands of business owners, specifically non-IT professionals.
However, if you want to build capabilities, these tools need to be adequately understood with their development environments. Whereas, with low-code and no-code options, the drag-and-drop features allowed the users to develop apps with minimal coding without in-depth knowledge of the tools.
How does it Differ From No-Code?
Users must perform some level of coding in low-code development, but considerably less than the traditional application development process. Professional programmers and developers utilize low-code to produce applications swiftly. They don’t have to go through routine programming duties and can focus on more challenging and outstanding work that has a more significant impact and is more valuable to the enterprise. Enterprise, banking, and telecom low-code application development tools are also used by non-IT professionals who have some programming experience to create essential apps or enhanced features within an app.
The no-code development platform is specifically for non-technical users with zero or less coding knowledge. Their focus is more on business needs and rules. Such people are called citizen developers. They can build apps without coding and deploy their business apps.

Longtime readers of this(two month old) blog will be aware that, having lived in Chinatown for the past thirteen years, I have basically forgotten how to cook, because why would I do that when I can get a full plate of dim sum for less than it would cost me to make it at home? Eh? Answer me THAT!
So, part of the challenge for this summer, when I am in the Okanagan, a culinary mecca and no mistake, is to re-learn how to cook. Yesterday was my first attempt at something more ambitious than adding vegetables to canned pasta sauce and dumping it on pasta.
So, yes, the substrate was pasta. Isn’t it always? It was whole wheat penne, because that is what was in the cupboard, which is, let’s face it, probably your #1 concern as a home cook. Because if it ain’t here, it ain’t getting eaten. Thursdays my houseboy plays bridge with his old fraternity pals.
I placed my ambition in a small, non stick pot. It began with some turkey ham, cut into strips and fried in its own fat. And very yummy it was; had to force myself not to eat it all before I finished the sauce. Then once it was browned I dumped in a bunch of dried rosemary, which I love, a handful of crumbled bacon (IT COMES IN PACKAGES NOW?!?!?!?! What a world we live in, eh? Easily sliced grapes and bacon in packages!) a generous sploosh of Pinot Gris, and about an ounce and a half of blue cheese, crumbled on top. What kind of blue cheese? No idea, it was the blue cheese in the back of the fridge, that’s all I know.
Then I stuck a lid on it and let it get down and dirty together for about ten minutes, gave it a stir, and plopped it on the pasta.
Whereupon I ate it without taking a picture, so you’ll just have to take my word for it that it looked as good as it tasted. I have a sorry habit of putting yogurt in my pasta sauces, which sounds like a good idea until you do it, the yogurt curdles (it ALWAYS curdles) and your meal looks like someone puked on it. Oh, bonus points for using red wine so the puke actually looks pinkish. Anyway, this didn’t look anything like that; it looked appetizing. I can’t say it was exactly on my diet, but then one makes impulsive decisions sometimes, particularly after the second Martini.
Anyway, my first Okanagan culinary adventure, with local wine and cheese, is officially a success. Yes, the cheese was local. It was local to the back of the fridge, okay?
Next week I get up to mystorage locker in Penticton and dig out my copy of Peg Bracken’s The I Hate to Cook Book, and start working my way through it. That book? That book is the absolute SHIZZNIT. The I Hate to Housekeep Book is also highly recommended. | [

Satay Reef Dolphin House, It’s the place where we will be spending our outstanding journey!
Satay is a place made of coral reefs, and it’s located somewhere in the beautiful Red Sea. Satay has a length of 5 kilometers, and has different widths. However, the widest spot is about 2 kilometers.
Satay is split into two halves, each half looks like a swimming pool, but actually they’re 100 percent natural, without any human interference.
The first swimming pool has a depth starting from 1 meter, up till 12 meters. dolphins usually prefer this swimming pool when the water has a suitable temperature for them, and dolphins usually are there during most months of the year. In the second half, you may find dolphins only during Summer, since it’s way deeper than the first half. However, since this spot is in the Southern Egypt, the temperature is most likely to be high at most of the times, making the water temperature suitable for dolphins.
Satay also is a special place for diving, since it has all the wonderful coral reefs and colorful fishes. You can also start snorkeling with the dolphins if you like to.
Now, let me give you some general information about dolphins and how they live. A dolphin starts to head towards its house just after the sunrise in order to have some rest. After that, it goes outside to start searching for food. Also, the dolphins don’t sleep like humans, they actually sleep while they are moving, and they only close one eye, and the other one is kept opened.
However, sometimes the dolphins are tired or not in agood mood to play, and when that happens, it doesn’t like humans to be around them. Just before the sunset, the dolphins get out of their house and start to live their lives normally. | [

Dirk Strasser has written over 30 books for major publishers in Australia and has been editing magazines and anthologies since 1990. He won a Ditmar for Best Professional Achievement and has been short-listed for the Aurealis and Ditmar Awards a number of times. His fantasy novels – including Zenith and Equinox – were originally published by Pan Macmillan in Australia and Heyne Verlag in Germany. His children’s horror/fantasy novel, Graffiti, was published by Scholastic. His short fiction has been translated into a number of languages, and his most recent publications are “The Jesus Particle” in Cosmos magazine, “Stories of the Sand” in Realms of Fantasy and “The Vigilant” in Fantasy magazine. He founded the Aurealis Awards and has co-published Aurealis magazine for over 20 years.
The latest Aurealis features Richard Viskovic's 'The Electric Itch', which is guaranteed to make you scratch just thinking about the technology depicted, and Mick Spadaro's 'It Came From A Party Supplies Store', which is one of those rarities—an SF story that aims to be funny, and actually is funny. Don’t miss the Stephen Higgins’ archive classic: 'So, you want to be a science fiction writer.'
The opening story in Aurealis #64 begins: 'The seasick lover becomes a saltwater cistern. She built her first lover out of glass.' And these opening lines are no-where near the strangest things in Penny Stirling's 'Love Over Glass, Skin Under Glass'. Read this this controversial story that sparked a major disagreement among the Aurealis Editors.
This month's Aurealis brings on the aliens with Gerry Huntman's 'The Pillar of the Small God', an alien contact story featuring communication problems with an intriguing race, and a translating device that doesn't work perfectly. And Liam Pieper’s 'Prophet' provides the sort of world-within-a-world-within-a-world immersion that you may never disentangle yourself from.
Aurealis #58, edited by Dirk Strasser, opens with Steve Simpson's 'Apartment on Copernicus Street', an alien invasion story that's authentic, powerful, full of surprises, and more than a little chilling. And hold onto your horses for a tough and raunchy Wild West fantasy, with Chris Large's 'The Red House'. Whoa, boy! And if you're still hanging on, the usual reviews & news round off this issue.
Aurealis #57, edited by Dirk Strasser, features the near future sub-continental grunge of 'Where Colossi Sleep' by Daniel Baker, where heavy industry blends with a culture four thousand years old and is transformed by it. Watch out also for C S McMullen's 'Monday-child', a deceptive story that constantly defies your expectations and packs a real punch in the end.
Aurealis #56 is the second special Award Winners issue. Thoraiya Dyer's The ‘Fruit of the Pipal Tree’ won Best Fantasy Short Story. 'The Past is a Bridge Best Left Burnt', a raw autobiographical story, was joint winner in the Best Horror Short Story category. The author, Paul Haines, died in March this year after a battle with cancer, and didn't live to receive the Aurealis Award.
This issue of the Australian magazine of fantasy, science fiction and horror, edited by Dirk Strasser, is our first special Aurealis Award Winners issue. 'Rains of la Strange' by Robert N Stephenson, an action-packed story set in a richly-realised milieu, won Best Science Fiction Short Story. Lisa L Hannett's 'The Short Go' was the joint winner in the Best Horror Short Story category.
Aurealis is the Australian magazine of fantasy, science fiction and horror. Aurealis #48, edited by Dirk Strasser, features Matt Bissett-Johnson's graphic story 'The Descent of Traag', a ripping deep-space yarn by Rick Kennett, a subtle Greg Mellor tale of a digital artist who paints actual thoughts, and an article on Margaret Atwood's In Other Worlds, plus news, reviews and mor
Aurealis, the Australian magazine of fantasy, science fiction and horror, has been publishing continuously since 1990. Aurealis #47 features an exhilarating voyage into ancient Greek mythology by Jenny Blackford, some unnerving Australian outback horror by Jason Nahrung, and a thought-provoking article from Crisetta MacLeod on why one book is never enough in fantasy, plus news, reviews and more.

Czech Mil Mi-24V helicopters attract well deserved attention at Italian Blade 2015 exercise
The Italian city of Viterbo recently hosted a two-week international coordination exercise, held under the auspices of the European Defence Agency. Helicopter crews, forward air controllers, and ground personnel from ten countries, in a joint exercise, demonstrated their skills in the support, planning and execution of mission flights.
The Czech Republic was the second largest participant in the exercise, with three Mil Mi-24V helicopters, pilots and support personnel from the 221st Helicopter Squadron based in Namest. The exercise, which ended last week, included mutually coordinated flight missions of international crews, close air support, air drops, and a number of air operations that helicopter crews may encounter during real-life combat. More than a thousand soldiers and 38 aircraft paticipated.
“The European Defence Agency makes a concerted effort to supplement training carried out within NATO. Italian Blade is the eighth exercise of this sort in which we have succeeded in eliminating the training and procedurial differences among participating teams. These helicopter exercises are focused on enhancing interoperability, standardisation of training procedures, mission planning and execution. ” said Milos Pecha, representative of the European Defence Agency.
The legendary Mi-24 (“Hind” in NATO code) clearly showed that it was not ready for the scrap heap. This all-purpose machine was capable to doing any type of task required of it. “The machine achieves a high performance level and transport capacity, and we are delighted with the interest from the other participants.” said Major Jan Vanicky, the pilot of the 221st Squadron, during a discussion regarding the Italian logistics support of the exercise.

Ryden Dual Carbon Battery Released
A new battery offers energy density comparable to a lithium ion battery, but over a much longer functional lifetime with improved safety and cradle-to-cradle sustainability, its manufacturer claims.
Power Japan Plus launched the technology, the Ryden dual carbon battery, which uses a unique chemistry with both the anode and the cathode made of carbon.
Power Japan Plus will begin benchmark production later this year at the company’s production facility in Okinawa, Japan. This facility will allow the company to meet demand for specialty energy storage markets such as medical devices and satellites.
The company says it satisfies a variety of demands, including:
- High Performance – energy dense and charges 20 times faster than lithium ion batteries. It is also more powerful than other advanced batteries, operating above four volts.
- Cost – slots directly into existing manufacturing processes and permits consolidation of the supply chain, with only one active material — carbon. Additionally, manufacturing of the Ryden battery is under no threat of supply disruption or price spikes from rare metals, rare earth or heavy metals.
- Reliable – rated for more than 3,000 charge/discharge cycles.
- Safe – the Ryden battery eliminates the unstable active material used in other high performance batteries, greatly reducing fire and explosion hazard.
- Sustainable – contains no rare metals, rare earth metals or heavy metals, and is 100 percent recyclable, vastly improving the cradle-to-cradle sustainability of an advanced battery.
Power Japan Plus is developing the dual carbon battery technology in partnership with Kyushu University in Fukuoka, Japan.

The RiftWar is done. But an enemy has risen in strength from the ashes of defeat - a fearsome army of trolls and renegade humans, emboldened by the drug of destruction and commanded by dark elves aided by the sorcery of an enigmatic cabal. But there is one who defies the call to battle.
In a world that is not our own, war is a legacy. In a land of wonders and magic, blood swells the rivers and nourishes the earth. But in the fires of near-constant battle, great courage and nobility are forged, as former heroes take up arms once again and new ones merge to defend to the death what is good and right in their beleaguered realm.
New York Times bestselling fantasist RAYMOND E. FEIST returns to this miraculous place that has enthralled millions of readers the world over to bring to light an extraordinary, hitherto untold chapter in the violent history of Midkemia. It is the story of a traitor - a dark elf who rejects the brutality of his warlike kind and casts his lot with the human targets of their fierce aggression. It is a towering saga of great conflicts, brave acts and insidious intrigues - of mysterious deaths among the ranks of the just and the sinister machinations of a master criminal - when the fate of many civilizations rests in the able, unfaltering hands of RiftWar veterans Squire Locklear and the cunning thief-turned-Squire James.
It chronicles the powerful awakening of Owyn, an apprentice magician of untried strength and hidden depths, and celebrates the selfless achievements of Pug, the greatest magician of two worlds, who must again - though not for the last time - rise spectacularly to new heights in the cause of those who face certain annihilation.
Follow the master to new corners of a world you have not yet fully explored - and experience the excitement, the terror and the triumph born from the doom aimed at the beating heart of a kingdom: the glorious place called...

Recalls: 1.4 Million GM Cars for Fire Risk, 300,000 Hondas for Airbags
Both GM and Honda announce major recalls.
Both General Motors and Honda have announced major recalls for potential safety hazards. While GM is recalling 1.4 million older cars for a fire risk, Honda is separately calling back more than 300,000 Accords over an airbag issue.
The Problem: GM is recalling certain older Buick Regal, Chevrolet Impala, Chevrolet Lumina, Chevrolet Monte Carlo, Oldsmobile Intrigue, and Pontiac Grand Prix vehicles over a potential fire risk. During hard braking, drops of oil may land on the hot exhaust manifold, potentially leading to engine compartment fires in these vehicles. Many of these vehicles have been repaired under previous recalls, but the repairs didn't solve the safety problem. GM says around 1,345 fires have occurred among vehicles repaired in earlier recalls for the same issue. Nineteen minor injuries have been reported over the last six years.
In a dealer notice, GM says "this condition does not affect the safe operation of the vehicle." About 85 percent of the fires in the recall occurred when no one was inside the vehicle. However, GM recommends NOT parking the affected cars in a garage until repairs can be made.
The Fix: As of this writing, GM is still finalizing an improved remedy for the problem. The automaker will notify owners when to bring in their vehicles to a dealership for repair. Once again, drivers are advised to park their vehicles outside until the fix has been applied.
Number of vehicles potentially affected: The recall applies to 1998-1999 Chevrolet Lumina and Oldsmobile Intrigue cars as well as 1997-2004 Buick Regal and Pontiac Grand Prix cars, 1998-2004 Chevrolet Monte Carlos, and 2000-2004 Chevrolet Impalas. Approximately 1.2 million of the cars are in the U.S.
The Problem: Honda is calling back over 300,000 model-year 2008-2009 Accords in the U.S. over an airbag concern. If the door is shut with extreme force, or if there is a non-vehicular collision impact to the lower body of the vehicle, sensors may interpret the movement as a crash. In that case, the side seat airbag and/or side curtain airbag may deploy unexpectedly. Honda has received 19 injury claims related to the problem.
The Fix: Honda will begin notifying customers in mid-December to start taking their vehicles into dealerships for repairs. There, the Accord vehicles will receive a free software update to adjust the airbag deployment threshold.
Number of vehicles potentially affected: The Honda recall involves 303,904 Accord vehicles in the U.S. All these units are from the 2008 and 2009 model years. | [

Exile Opposition: Iran Hiding Another Nuke Site Mon October 13, 2003 10:25 AM ET By Louis Charbonneau
VIENNA (Reuters) - An Iranian opposition group that has provided accurate information about undeclared nuclear facilities in Iran in the past said Monday that Tehran has been hiding another nuclear facility from U.N. inspectors.
"We have information about another secret nuclear facility in Iran," an official from the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), an exiled opposition group, told Reuters. The official gave no details about the site, but said the NCRI would provide full details Tuesday.
In an emailed statement, the NCRI also said it would provide information on Iran's use of foreign technology in its atomic program, as well as details about the Kalaye Electric Co., where U.N. inspectors found traces of weapons-grade uranium.
IAEA officials were not immediately available for comment.
In August 2002, the NCRI broke the news of two undeclared nuclear sites in Iran -- a massive uranium-enrichment complex at Natanz and a heavy-water production facility at Arak.
Tehran later declared these facilities to the U.N. International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), which has placed surveillance cameras at Natanz to ensure that no undeclared nuclear activities take place there.
In addition to the uranium found at Kalaye, the IAEA found traces of weapons-grade enriched uranium at Natanz, fueling fears that Iran has been secretly purifying uranium for use in an atomic bomb.
Tehran denies it secretly enriched uranium and blamed the traces on contaminated machinery purchased abroad in the 1980s.
The NCRI is a coalition of exiled opposition groups and sees itself as a potential replacement for Islamic rule in Iran. But the State Department and the European Union list the NCRI's armed wing, the People's Mujahideen, as a terrorist group.
Last month the governing board of the IAEA gave Iran until October 31 to prove it is not diverting nuclear resources to a secret weapons program, as the United States alleges, or face sanctions by the U.N. Security Council.
IAEA chief Mohamed ElBaradei has been invited to Tehran on Thursday, though an agency spokeswoman said he had not decided yet whether he would accept.

Keith’s hand has healed up enough that with a pile of super-sized bandaids and waterproof tape he has returned to the water. All is well again aboard the boat! Our cool little cruising vibe has been restored and we are once again soaking up this amazing adventure.
Check it out- I am always on the hunt for helmet conch and both Keith and I found one on the same dive! (Helmet conch are not the same as the ones we fry up for dinner) I found a queen helmet (rounded) and he found a king helmet (pointy). Aren’t they so gorgeous?! Both of these shells had inhabitants so after their glamor shots they got nestled back down into the turtle grass to do what ever it is a helmet conch does for hopefully years to come.
You would think that we couldn’t get away from Rat Cay fast enough after our nasty visitor but we are still here in Manjack, we just can’t get our fill of the reefs here. They have our hearts.
I am still having camera issues so not so many photos, but we have seen two more octopi, lots of eels, turtles, spotted eagle rays, and rainbows of reef fishes. I did catch a trunk fish and a happy little puffer fish on camera. The puffer fish always look like they are smiling up at you. They have adorably big eyes too. This little hogfish must have known he was too tiny for dinner because I think I could have tickled his tummy he was so close. Grow up big and strong little fish (and have lots of babies please).
The next one was big enough for dinner though. He tickled our tummies.
Even though Keith was dying to get into the water again we made good use of our mandatory dry time and walked the trails on the cay that led to the ocean-side beach. It ended up being quite a hike and sandy flip-flops might not have been the best foot attire, but who cares when the view is this beautiful! No one else around. Just us and this pristine beach 🙂
We didn’t have all the beaches to ourselves though.
We found these wild hogs on the beach where we were going to take Kai for a walk (Crab Cay at Manjack). They weren’t barnyard piggies-definitely hogs-but they didn’t seem aggressive. In fact they curiously watched the dinghy as we went by and even came a little closer. We still surrendered the beach to them, maybe we are still a bit skidish of the wildlife. At least I don’t think that one of these would be able to play hide-and-seek with us on the boat!
And just to keep some sailing in this sailing adventure, we sailed to Green Turtle one morning to take in our one bag of trash and buy some fresh veggies and eggs. We then sailed right back to Manjack. Still haven’t soaked up enough of these reefs 🙂
One thought on “Manjack (still)”
Love the pics and stories. I wish the water was warmer when Lisa and I were there in Feb so we could have had more time diving on reefs. | [

The main purpose of a green cover crop is to benefit the soil and other crops in the rotation. Usually the green cover crop is not intended for harvest, feed or sale. Some of the main benefits from cover crops include:
- Improving soil quality: Soil tilth is improved whenever a plant establishes roots and grows into compacted areas. Water infiltration is improved as well. When a field lays fallow for a period of time, due to weathering the surface tends to seal and water will run off. Cover crops protect the soil surface and reduce soil sealing and capping. Soil biology is enhanced assisting the growth of beneficial organisms, such as bacteria, soil mycorrhizae, and deep burrowing earthworms in particular thrive when fresh plant material is decomposing. Organic matter levels tend to improve with the inclusion of cover crops in a crop rotation.
- Erosion control: Cover crops reduce wind and water erosion on all types of soils. By having the soil held in place by cover crops during the autumn, winter, and early spring period, loss of soil and associated nutrients from erosion is greatly reduced.
- Fertility improvements: Legumes can add substantial amounts of available nitrogen to the soil. Non-legumes can be used to mop up excess nitrogen left over from previous crops and recycle available phosphorus and potassium to the following crop. This is very important after manure application because cover crops can reduce leaching of nitrate in particular.
- Suppress weeds: A dense stand of a green cover crop, such as rye or mustard, can suppress weed growth by soil coverage and shading. A combination of natural plant competition and plant root exudates, or allelochemicals, from cover crops suppress the growth of other weed species.
- Insect control: Beneficial predators such as ladybirds, ground beetles and farm birds, who feed on aphids and field slugs, will also be encouraged by planting cover crops.
Geraghty Consulting have developed an indepth knowledge on the use of cover crops in commercial crop production systems. We can provide farmers with a range of options to include cover crops in field rotations that will reduce the cost of other farm inputs in succeeding cash crops. | [

Sea shipment of ultra-hazardous radioactive waste
On the occasion of next week's CARICOM heads of state meeting, we want to bring to your attention the enclosed Journal of Commerce article and other items bearing on the continuing threat posed by sea shipments of ultra-hazardous radioactive waste and plutonium.
Future shipments may affect the CARICOM more directly than in the past and it is important, therefore, that the CARICOM include in its conference resolution a further elaboration of its strong opposition to these dangerous transports. In addition to high-level waste shipments, CARICOM nations will be in the path of mixed-oxide (plutonium-uranium) fuel shipments if the U.S. government submits to Japanese pressure and approves a Japanese proposal to transport this fuel through the Panama Canal. Japanese officials point out that the Panama Canal is the most direct route to Japan from Europe, where the fuel is manufactured. Use of the Panama Canal for plutonium fuel shipments could set a precedent for dozens of shipments of highly radioactive waste, the residues of plutonium production that also must be shipped to Japan. In addition to the environmental threat, these shipments must be escorted by a military vessel due to the fact that the weapon-usable plutonium can be easily extracted from hijacked MOX fuel.
The two initial shipments of high-level waste contained 28 and 40 canisters of highly radioactive glass, respectively. The next waste shipment reportedly will contain 60 glass blocks and take place as early as late 1997. There are to be twice-a-year shipments, containing between 100 to 300 glass logs, from then on. The shorter, Panama Canal route is clearly preferred by the Europeans and Japanese to the routes previously used around Cape Horn and the Cape of Good Hope.
Plutonium programs in Japan, France and the United Kingdom have all suffered major setbacks recently. Accidents in Japan have shut down Japan's spent-fuel reprocessing plant and plutonium-fueled breeder reactor. The Japanese public is opposed to the use of mixed-oxide fuels in Japan's nuclear power reactors. The new French government has announced it will close Superphenix, the French breeder reactor, and France's new minister of the environment has ordered a review of radioactive waste discharge at COGEMA's reprocessing plant. U.K. regulatory authorities have rejected a proposed repository for nuclear waste. Even so, Japan is committed to pursuing its dangerous plutonium program by continuing to take back plutonium and radioactive waste from France. Therefore, these shipments will likely continue in spite of growing international and domestic concerns about the plutonium and reprocessing programs.
A number of governments have expressed apprehension about the potential effects of a nuclear shipping accident on their island economies and fragile ocean environment. In an analysis of unresolved safety issues, Dr. Edwin Lyman, the Nuclear Control Institute's scientific director, finds that in the event of a shipboard fire, or a collision and sinking at sea, the highly radioactive cargo could be rapidly dispersed because of the use of faulty stainless-steel canisters and rubber-like seals to package and contain the waste. We remain as concerned as ever about the problems identified by Dr. Lyman.
As reported in the enclosed Journal of Commerce article, these concerns, shared by many actual and potential en-route states, will be addressed when the International Maritime Organization (IMO) meets in September.
While we believe that these ultrahazardous shipments must be halted, coastal nations have rights under the "precautionary principle" and other elements of international law to demand a strict, mandatory code of practice as a condition for permitting such dangerous transports to proceed. Such a code should require prior notification of the shipping route, advance consultation on emergency plans, a full environmental-impact assessment, a formal liability regime, and a demonstrated salvage capability. Consideration of such "complementary measures" was promised by the IMO in 1993 when a weaker, voluntary International Code of Practice for the transport of nuclear material was adopted.
We appreciate the determination shown by the CARICOM nations to bar ultrahazardous nuclear shipments from their region. We urge continued resolve in this important effort. We would appreciate your forwarding this letter and enclosure to the appropriate Foreign Ministry officials. Please feel free to contact us to discuss this issue further.

A group in Texas has posted what appears to be the first video of the firing of a plastic handgun – created with a 3-D printer.
The video shows a single shot being fired from a gun that, with the exception of its metal firing pin, was assembled from parts made with a 3-D printer.
” Defense Distributed.” is a non-profit group founded by 25-year-old law student Cody Wilson – who has posted instructions for the gun online so other people can duplicate it.
Reports of the test-firing have reignited calls to ban 3-D-printed guns, which critics fear could easily fall into the wrong hands and create safety concerns because they’d be invisible to metal detectors.
The group wants to expand the range of ammunition a 3-D printed gun can fire and make them printable with increasingly inexpensive machines – such as the $2,800 Replicator 2 by Makerbot.

The Stranger – 8 exciting stories for a romantic evening
Listen to a sample
What to expect
“He locks the door behind them, grabs her waist and pulls her close. He moves his hand along the inside of her thigh, and it’s all it takes for her to be ready. She pulls up her skirt, pulls down her stockings and lets him bend her forward over the sink. He grabs her buttocks, moves two fingers along her labia, back and forth towards her clitoris. The sensation spreads throughout her body like fire.”
When a new bar opens in her neighbourhood, she has to go there, and her passion is immediately brought back to life by a stranger in a suit. Her senses are tickled by the familiar scent of sandalwood and olive, and her world is covered in a pink haze. To go to the bar and flirt with the stranger instead of going home to her husband becomes an addiction.

The flagship journal of Mayo and arguably one of the premier peer-reviewed clinical journals in general medicine, Mayo Clinic Proceedings is among the most widely read and highly cited scientific publication for physicians, with a circulation of approximately 124,000. Continuously published since 1926, the Proceedings content includes Nobel-prize-winning research. Among other studies, the authors also reference the University of Westminster 2008 study for ETS (and the university of Bradford Study, supported by an electric dryer manufacturer).
This important article, published in June 2012 in the peer-reviewed clinical journal “Mayo Clinic Proceedings”, concludes that regarding hygiene there is a clear superiority of Paper Towels vs. Electric Air Dryers.
Abstract of the article
“The transmission of bacteria is more likely to occur from wet skin than from dry skin; therefore, the proper drying of hands after washing should be an integral part of the hand hygiene process in health care.
This article systematically reviews the research on the hygienic efficacy of different hand-drying methods.
A literature search was conducted in April 2011 using the electronic databases PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. Search terms used were hand dryer and hand drying.
The search was limited to articles published in English from January 1970 through March 2011. Twelve studies were included in the review.
Hand-drying effectiveness includes the speed of drying, degree of dryness, effective removal of bacteria, and prevention of cross-contamination.
This review found little agreement regarding the relative effectiveness of electric air dryers.
However, most studies suggest that paper towels can dry hands efficiently, remove bacteria effectively, and cause less contamination of the washroom environment. From a hygiene viewpoint, paper towels are superior to electric air dryers. Paper towels should be recommended in locations where hygiene is paramount, such as hospitals and clinics.”
“The 2009 human swine influenza A (H1N1) pandemic reminded health professionals and the community of the importance of hand hygiene to prevent the spread of diseases.
The effectiveness of hand hygiene in infection control has been recognized since Semmelweis’s observation in 1847 that the implementation of hand washing reduced the number of deaths among women with puerperal fever. For centuries, hand washing has been considered the most important measure to reduce the burden of health care–associated infection.
Hand washing refers to washing hands with plain or antimicrobial soap and water. In actual practice, it can vary considerably from a brief rinse of the hands to extensive scrubbing. With adequate hand washing, significant reductions in the rates of infectious disease have been reported in a variety of settings, such as health care institutions, the food industry, child day care centers, schools, and all community and domestic situations.
Until now, however, a great number of studies have focused on topics such as hand-washing techniques, selection and handling of hand-washing agents, and how to improve hand hygiene adherence for health care workers. Less is known about the role of hand drying after washing and the relative efficacy of different hand-drying methods in reducing contamination.
The proper drying of hands should be an essential component of effective hand hygiene procedures. (One of the Authors of the article explains the key conclusions in this video)
Coates et al reported that washing hands with either soap and water or water alone combined with drying on paper towels can effectively remove bacteria from the hands. However, if hands are only shaken dry after washing, some bacteria are likely to remain. Patrick et al investigated the relationship between the amount of residual water left on the hands and bacterial translocation levels.
The transmission of bacteria was more likely to occur from wet hands than from dry hands. Merry et al also confirmed the important role of residual water on the hands in the level of touch- or contact-associated contamination.
Although studies have reported the importance of thorough hand drying after washing, the role of hand drying has not been widely promoted, and its relevance to hand hygiene and infection control seems to have been overlooked.
Lack of attention to this aspect may negate the benefits of careful hand washing in health care. So far, little research has been conducted to examine the contribution that proper hand drying makes to the overall effectiveness of hand hygiene practices. The purposes of this article are to provide a systematic review of research examining the performance of different hand-drying methods and make recommendations for future research.”

It might seem odd that a daily practice would be the inspirational magic to mind and body happiness. After all, we often think of inspiration as that spark of magic that comes out of the blue. We, of course, are always glad to receive it from wherever or whenever it comes.
But why wait? Because you may be waiting a long time. And, I quote, “Waiting for inspiration is like standing at the airport waiting for a train.”
In my work, I hear the chant a lot. ‘I’m just not motivated’ or ‘I’m waiting to be inspired’.
Let’s clear something up before we go on. Inspiration comes first, before motivation. Because it’s the doing of that something that is, in fact, what builds the motivation to continue. So, let’s dig deeper to find out how inspiration works and can we create it.
Inspirational Magic for Mind and Body Happiness
We’re always waiting for it, yet it seems so elusive. What is inspiration? And how do we create it? Or can we?
Inspiration is the process of being mentally stimulated to do or feel something. It contains a passive aspect and an active aspect.
Passive inspiration is when you see, read or hear someone that leads you to want to improve yourself. You’re not doing anything yourself, but you feel inspired by someone else’s ideas or success.
Active inspiration is when someone leads you to want to actively create or build something where you’re applying your ideas to your goals. From the study of inspiration by Daniel Chadborn and Stephen Reysen (2016), Texas A&M
It’s the active inspiration that propels you forward and carries us far. It’s where we learn the most, “…inspire you more than anything someone else could say.” “Passive inspiration can give you ideas, but active inspiration will give you momentum.” https://jamesclear.com/inspiration-types
What we’re looking for is an experience or a practice that has the possibility of lasting for good, maybe even for a lifetime. To be inspired to create that experience of happiness in mind and body, a change has to take place.
Three Things to Consider for Inspirational Magic
1) That initial spark, a passive hint or a glow that stimulates and excites us needs to be present. It may come from something we’ve read, seen or heard. This is the easy part. We all know how to get passively inspired. Just look around. We see, read, and hear tons of ideas and passive inspirations daily. Then…
2) Ask if this new idea aligns with your core values? How much value does this idea hold for you? And why?
For your idea to turn into an active inspiration with the goal to experience happiness in mind and body, or any goal for that matter, a deeper evaluation must take place.
Because without thoroughly understanding just how important the idea and goal is to you, i.e., what value it holds for you, you won’t get to experience nor to the possibility of it ‘lasting for good’.
How will the goal of experiencing happiness in mind and body impact your life? What will you have to change or shuffle around to accommodate its practice?
In order to propel you forward, finding new ways to do things, applying new ideas, new strategies, new learnings all start with understanding why you want it.
3) You must practice to master.
How to Bring the Magic and Light Up Your Brilliance Even More
Have you ever sat down and reviewed your last 6 months or past year’s accomplishments?
Have you compared and analyzed it to what you had hoped to get done?
Were your accomplishments in integrity with your values? Now, what the heck do I mean by that and how the heck are you supposed to do that??? Here’s how:
What actions are you taking on a daily basis?
We often do things on a daily basis just out of habit. Habits are a tool of the brain, and while some habits are truly important and impact our lives in all aspects, like the exercise habit, some habits…ehhh…well, not so good. Do I hear an Amen to that! | [

Q: Is it safe to eat fish from the Pacific in light of the radiation released into the ocean by the crippled Fukushima power plant in Japan in 2011?
A: Yes, despite those scary Internet warnings you may have read. In an update in March, the FDA concluded that there’s no evidence that radioactive isotopes from the Fukushima meltdown have gotten into the U.S. food supply at any worrisome levels. Testing of fish from the Pacific Ocean has repeatedly found only barely detectable increases in radio-activity—far below federal safety standards and those of the World Health Organization.
Fukushima was, and continues to be, a disaster for the people in that part of Japan. But keep in mind that the amount of radiation released at Fukushima (and massively diluted in the ocean) has been tiny compared to the radiation left in the environment by nuclear bomb tests in the mid-20th century. And that in turn was much less than the normal background radiation in the environment—including the oceans’ naturally occurring radiation, which comes largely from the Earth’s crust.
More reassurance comes from a team of researchers who have been tracking radiation in bluefin tuna. In a paper in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences last year, they estimated that a 7-ounce serving of the fish contaminated with radiation at the level recorded off the coast of San Diego several months after the meltdown would have had only about 5 percent of the natural radioactivity of a banana. (Yes, normal bananas contain an isotope of potassium—as do potatoes—but are nonetheless safe to eat.) | [

This could alternatively be titled, “The Lazy Girl’s Guide to Soft Skin”. Did you know that after you take a shower or bath, that you only have about 1-2 minutes to apply moisturizer before the water on your skin starts to evaporate? Applying moisturizer immediately helps lock in that precious water that can hydrate your skin better than if it was completely dry. But it’s kind of annoying and takes time. Spraying on a dry oil makes it so much easier.
My favorite is Ahava Dry Oil Body Mist in Cactus & Pink Pepper. I like the scent because it’s quite mild and smells a bit like rose but goes away pretty quickly. They have multiple scents, so you can try them out: Mist Mandarin and Cedarwood, Prickly Pear and Moringa and Sea-Kissed.
Why I’m obsessed with Ahava Dry Oil Body Mist in Cactus & Pink Pepper:
- So easy! Just spray all over and spread after the shower. Not as messy as those oils that don’t have a sprayer.
- Covers your hard-to-reach areas, like the middle of your back! No partner needed.
- Fast! If you’re short on time, this is the fastest way to moisturize.
- Great for travel. Instead of bringing a heavy bottle of lotion in my suitcase, I bring the dry oil in a smaller spray bottle (and put it in a sealed plastic bag just in case it leaks). You can even get under 3.4 oz and that’s sufficient for a trip to put in your carry-on bag.
- First of all, try to use warm water for your shower, not scalding hot water. I know, I know, it feels good–but your skin will suffer for it.
- After a shower or bath, dry off lightly and spray all over your body. Not your face! (Too thick for your sensitive face skin.) Do it quickly and don’t wait a long time–like say, after you’ve blow dried your hair and your body is as equally bone dry.
- Feel free to apply even more lotion or cream moisturizer AFTER spraying your body to your drier areas, like your arms and legs. I like to use my favorite, Kiehl’s Creme de Corps Body Moisturizer. Yes–you CAN do a 2-step moisturizing process. If you think that’s too much, look at my post on the 10-Step Korean Skin Care Routine for your face. Yup, that’s the high price of beauty. 😛
- For some reason, the dispenser tends to get clogged or stops working at times. That’s why I end up unscrewing the top and pouring it into another spray container that’s lighter and smaller. (I actually use the empty container for the smaller, plastic Kiehl’s Creme de Corps Nourishing Dry Body Oil. See below.)
If you’re not a fan of Ahava or want something less moisturizing, I’ve also tried these alternatives:
- Kiehl’s Creme de Corps Nourishing Dry Body Oil -A summer moisturizer that’s also a good option, but not as moisturizing as the Ahava brand. Just as pricey. 😦
- c. Booth Nourishing Dry Oil Body Mist – Honey Almond – The smell is moderate and almond-ey, but the dispenser tends to get a little messy. Hard to find in stores! 😦 I got it at Nordstrom Rack for cheap originally.
No matter which dry body oil you choose, feel free to spray away with reckless abandon to keep your skin super soft. | [
