Maruti Suzuki to Launch Ciaz by July: Report
By greeshma m | March 22, 2014 8:34 PM EST
Maruti Suzuki, the country's largest car maker, is reportedly gearing up to launch its new sedan Ciaz in July 2014, claims a new report.
Ciaz, the new entry into the C-segment, was first seen at the Delhi Auto Expo 2014, and is likely to make its India debut by mid-2014, reported I.C.E, citing sources close to the development. The car, codenamed YL1, is expected to replace the underperforming SX4 sedan in the country. It is based on the Suzuki Authentics concept car, which was displayed at the 2013 Shanghai Motor Show. However, Maruti is yet to confirm the launch date and availability of the car in the sub-continent market.
Maruti Suzuki Ciaz Concept at Auto Expo
If reports are to be believed, the new C-segment offering of Maruti will pack the same 1.3 liter Multijet diesel or 1.4 liter K Series petrol engine of Ertiga under the hood, and is expected to carry some of the features of both SX4 and Ertiga. Other speculated features of the car include 16-inch alloy wheels, keyless entry, push button start, puddle lamps and leather seats.
Talking about the safety features of the new Ciaz, it is likely to come with Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) with Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD). When launched, Ciaz will challenge Hyundai Verna, Honda City and Volkswagen Vento in the domestic market.
Previous reports suggested that Maruti is also planning to launch the Automated Manual Transmission (AMT) version of the Ciaz in India, which was introduced with the Maruti Suzuki Celerio. Maruti Celerio has been earning tremendous reviews in the auto market, and has garnered more than 25,000 bookings since its launch in India.
Maruti is also rumoured to launch the AMT version of its best-selling Alto K10. Car makers like Tata Motors, Mahindra, Hyundai and Volkswagen are also working on the same. Tata's Nano and Zest will be the first few vehicles in the domestic market to follow in Maruti Suzuki's footsteps.

Antonio Brown continues to make information, however not for the explanations he needs.
In an Instagram video shared by ESPN he known as his exercise with the New Orleans Saints a “publicity stunt.” Brown additionally mentioned “I am simply gonna preserve competing to be the distinction.”
The New Orleans Saints introduced Brown in for a exercise final Friday (December 27th). They have been the primary crew to take action since his launch by the New England Patriots in September.
“We’re doing our homework,” Payton mentioned after the Saints introduced in six receivers for the exercise. “There could be plenty of gamers that we have signed or drafted over time previous — some which have labored out, some that have not. The method is one thing that we take significantly and it is vital relative to the make-up of the crew.”
It’s unknown what Brown’s eligibility could be if he have been signed by a crew. He’s awaiting a call from the NFL on investigations into allegations of sexual assault levied at him.
Associated: Antonio Brown Scheduled To Meet With NFL, Now Says He’s ‘Decided’ To Play
His ambiguous taking part in standing is probably going why no crew has signed him as there isn’t a clear upside for this NFL season, whose playoffs are set to start on Saturday (December four).
Within the Instagram video Brown is seen partaking in some sort of cardio exercise. Perhaps on a treadmill or comparable system.
“I actually am at peace. I simply do not like the dearth of respect on the planet,” Brown mentioned within the video, which he filmed whereas figuring out on an train machine. “Everybody has deadlines, however I assume the NFL do not have a deadline for me. So I respect [Saints coach] Sean Payton and them guys for supporting me to convey me out to work out. However I feel it was a publicity stunt for them.”
“However it’s what it’s. … I am not gonna make excuses. I am simply gonna preserve competing to be the distinction, ‘cuz I do know I am the distinction.”
It doesn’t seem that Brown shall be signed by the Saints or another NFL crew this season.
All he can do now could be wait on phrase from the NFL on the findings of their investigation. | [

Officials discovered the tortoise hatchlings on Sunday when they X-rayed the suitcase, which was bound for the port city of Guayaquil, Ecuador, according to a statement from the Galapagos Ecological Airport.
Galapagos giant tortoises are the largest living tortoises in the world and are only native to the Galapagos Islands, according to the World Wildlife Fund, which lists the giant tortoises as vulnerable
Ten of tortoises were found dead and the remaining reptiles were sent to the Fausto Llerena Tortoise Center
to be cared for by experts, according to a statement from Ecuador’s Ministry of Environment and Water.
Five more tortoises have died, possibly due to the stress of being separated from their habitat, the ministry said.
Director of Conservation Wacho Tapia believes that the tortoises were removed from nests on Santa Cruz Island.
“The young tortoises were found in dreadful condition and appear to be extremely underweight,” Tapia said in a statement
. “We are in the process of collecting important data, including size and weight, for each tortoise to better assess its health condition.”
A police officer has been arrested in connection to the alleged smuggling and will be charged with crimes against wildlife, which is punishable by up to three years in prison, according to the Ministry of the Environment and Water.
The Galapagos Conservancy
estimates that there are now only 20,000-25,000 wild tortoises that live on the islands.
The Galapagos archipelago includes 19 islands in the Pacific Ocean roughly 621 miles from the Ecuadorian coast. The Galapagos were declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site | [

Mixing business and pleasure can get messy -- just ask Penn Badgley.
The actor has been dating Gossip Girl costar Blake Lively for almost two years, but he admits that their successful workplace romance defies the odds.
"Having a relationship with someone you work with might not always be the smartest move," he muses in the November issue of Men's Health.
"But," he tells the magazine, "it's been wonderful to be in a relationship where we can both identify with what the other is experiencing."
When Us Weekly spoke with the actor, he exclaimed of Lively, "We have an unbelievable trust and such a healthy relationship."
Lively, 22, told Seventeen magazine in July, "It's definitely not romantic on the [Gossip Girl] set, that's for sure. When you're saying these words that people are making you say to one another, nothing about it is real or genuine. So if two people connect outside their characters, then that's how they get together." | [

Whirlpools created at the edges of breaking waves can influence how ocean nutrients – and pollution – get mixed about in the ocean.
Until now, this swirling has been a theory seen only in computer simulations. David Clark, a postdoctoral researcher at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Woods Hole, Mass., wanted to see if he could physically measure a vortex created by waves off the coast of Duck, N.C.
Clark, who presented a poster Tuesday morning the American Geophysical Union’s 2012 Fall Meeting, confirmed that individual waves can create these spinning eddies.
A breaking wave slams downward, churning water and leaving a frothy residue of foam and bubbles. But it’s the less noticeable outer edges of waves that interest Clark. “It’s not the stuff that you see, it’s the big motions you can’t see that are actually doing most of the mixing,” says Clark.
However, the surf zone was a difficult place to put out expensive scientific equipment to track this spinning water.
“We’re working in a sandy beach, so we can’t bolt anything down,” says Clark, who put out 10 sensors in the surf zone to measure the pounding of breaking waves.
Clark used a machine called a jetter, which he describes as an ultra-powerful fire hose, to blast an 8-foot deep hole into the sandy ocean. He jammed 10-foot long steel pipes into the craters and mounted wave-measuring gadgets onto the poles.
When the outer ends of a breaking wave smash down on the ocean, they send water spiraling off sideways that create strong eddies. Clark even found weaker whirls of water in the center of breaking waves.
“In terms of pollution, the faster it spreads, the more shoreline it affects,” says Clark, who is the first to track the speed of this spinning with real waves.
Clark, who ran the pilot study for 12 hours, plans to carry out a bigger study with more sensors in order to compare the rotating water when waves break at low and high tides. He hopes this will give him more information on how different ocean conditions can spread pollutants.

The Facts on Deepwater Drilling
Did you know that there has been more than 3,800 wells drilled offshore in Australian waters? And that approximately 150 wells* have been drilled in water depths greater than 1,000 meters? According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), deepwater has accounted for around half of discovered oil and gas resources over the last ten years.
Deepwater drilling is increasingly common around the world, including in the Norwegian Sea, the Gulf of Mexico and offshore Canada, Africa, India, South America and Australia.
So how does deepwater drilling work?
Step 1: Exploration
Energy companies use seismic survey vessels to explore large areas while trailing equipment that sends sound waves into the ocean floor. The sound waves then bounce off layers of rock beneath the seafloor and are picked up by sensors or ‘geophones’ attached to the survey boat. (Learn more about marine seismic surveys)
Geologists can then analyse this data to determine if hydrocarbons may be present. Offshore they generally occur in porous sandstone layers, where the resource is trapped in the pores of the rock.
Step 2: Installing a well casing and blowout preventer
For deepwater drilling, energy companies will use drill ships or semi-submersible floating rigs. These facilities are positioned using GPS technology and thrusters and are capable of extracting resources from water-depths ranging from 600 to more than 3,600 metres. The technology enables safe drilling even in high seas.
Once the initial hole is drilled (called the top-hole), a sturdy steel casing is inserted into the hole and firmly cemented in place to fill the gap between the rock and the steel tube’s outer wall.
A subsea wellhead is fitted and a blowout preventer is lowered into onto the well opening to effectively seal it. This is a large, specialised mechanical device that is equipped with hydraulic rams that can seal the bore if necessary. Drilling continues using progressively smaller diameter casings until they reach the target depth.
Step 3: Drilling and well completion
Should a resource be found the well may be a ‘producing well’ which allows oil or natural gas to flow through the casings and ‘up’ to the receiving platform in a highly controlled manner. Typically, this casing is only about 20cm wide.
After a production or exploration operation is finished the well is permanently sealed.
- There are approximately 90 wells drilled offshore Australia every year.
- Australia has been exploring beneath deep waters for over 40 years.
- The International Energy Agency defines ‘deepwater’ as a water depth greater than 400 meters.
- The first deepwater well in the world was drilled in 1975, and the first ultra-deepwater well (greater than 1,500 meters) was drilled in 1986.
- Today, at least 3 billion barrels per day are produced from deepwater/ultra deepwater operations.
- Current record for deepest water depth for an offshore oil rig is approximately 3,400 metres under water.
- For comparison, Exxon’s newly-approved offshore well in Victoria is only about 2,300 meters under water.
- The well Equinor proposes to drill in the Great Australian Bight next year is located in a water depth of 2,239 metres. | [

1959 – While filming the chariot race in the Hollywood epic “Ben-Hur”, starring Charlton Heston, an accident occurs, in which a stuntman is injured.
1982 – A helicopter crash kills three actors, including two children, and injures six on the set of “Twilight Zone: The Movie”. In the following years, the production team is found responsible for several labor violations, which led to the introduction of new safety standards in the industry.
1984 – 26-year-old actor Jon-Erik Hexum fatally shoots himself in the head with a pistol loaded with a blank on the set of television series “Cover Up”.
1993 – Brandon Lee, son of the late martial artist and actor Bruce Lee, is shot in the abdomen with improperly made dummy rounds on the set of “The Crow.” After six hours of botched surgery, Lee is pronounced dead at age 28.
2003 – Lead actress Uma Thurman has a car accident that shatters her knees and leaves her with a concussion on the set of Quentin Tarantino movie “Kill Bill”.
2007 – Special effects technician involved in the filming of the Batman movie “The Dark Knight” dies in a car accident after his vehicle crashes into a tree at the end of a test run at a special effects facility.
2011 – A wrong explosion kills a stuntman and seriously injures a second on the set of the action sequel “The Expendables 2” in Bulgaria.
2014 – 71-year-old actor Harrison Ford undergoes surgery for a broken leg after being struck by a heavy hydraulic metal door on the set of “Star Wars: The Force Awakens”.
2015 – A stuntwoman is seriously injured in a motorcycle accident on the set of “Resident Evil: The Final Chapter”, where her arm is amputated. Later on the same set, a stuntman dies crushed under a Hummer vehicle.
2017 – Female stunt rider dies on the set of superhero film “Deadpool 2” in downtown Vancouver after losing control of her motorcycle during a stunt and crashing through a window of a building across the street.

Congress had good intentions when it passed legislation in July 2012 to reduce federal liabilities for subsidized flood insurance. The Biggert-Waters Flood Insurance Reform Act, passed by a 373-52 vote, was aimed at shrinking the $20 billion in debt the federal government assumed after Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans in 2005. That debt increased later in 2012 when Hurricane Sandy smashed into the Northeast.
There’s little doubt the flood insurance program, created in 1968, is outdated and in need of reform. Subsidized insurance has encouraged developers and property owners to build in the wrong places, and it has done little to encourage them to elevate houses and take other measures to limit damage from floods and hurricanes.
Yet it’s also become clear that Biggert-Waters, which Congress passed with little attention to detail, moves too quickly in reducing federal liability and transferring it to individual property owners. With the law taking effect Oct. 1, homeowners across the country have become alarmed by dramatically higher premiums and uncertainty about which areas will be affected.
U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters, a Los Angeles Democrat who co-authored the law with Rep. Judy Biggert – a Republican from Illinois no longer in Congress – released a statement saying she is “outraged by the increased costs of flood insurance premiums that have resulted from the Biggert-Waters Act.” Mississippi has sued the federal government. U.S. Rep. John Garamendi, a former California insurance commissioner, said “the new flood insurance rates demanded by FEMA are absolutely unaffordable.’
Although there is a fair amount of confusion of which property owners would be subject to the higher rates, there is no doubt that hundreds of thousands of policyholders could face steep hikes if they were forced to quickly pay full-risk actuarial rates.
On his website, Garamendi has a chart, prepared by the Dewberry firm, showing the impact of higher premium on houses in different locales. A $200,000 house 1 foot below the “base flood elevation” could see insurance rates rise from $2,235 to $5,623 yearly. The same house 10 feet below base flood elevation could see rates rise from $2,235 to $25,000 or more annually.
Garamendi and some others in the House are co-sponsoring HR 2199, the Flood Insurance Implementation Reform Act of 2013, which would delay the rate hike. That may be a needed move, but it hardly resolves the question of how to reduce federal liabilities over the long term.
The Association of State Floodplain Managers last week released a set of nine principles aimed at improving flood insurance affordability, without a delay in the phase-in of rates. Congress should give these ideas full consideration.
Indeed, some actually think that Congress was too timid in 2012, even with its aggressive schedule of moving floodplain dwellers to full-risk actuarial rates.
In a Nov. 28 op-ed in The New York Times, Judith Kildow and Jason Scorse urged Congress to “end federal flood insurance,” arguing that overbuilding, climate change and ever-rising subsidies has created $527 billion in vulnerable assets nationwide for which federal taxpayers should not be on the hook. “Homeowners and business should be responsible for purchasing their own flood insurance on the private market,” wrote the two economists. “If they can’t, then the market is telling them that where they live is too dangerous.”
There are two problems with that argument. First, it assumes that markets are perfect and insurance companies make sound actuarial decisions. If that were the case, then insurers long ago would have jacked up rates for people who live in fire zones. Instead, such companies, increasing wary of global climate change, are just now starting to rethink the actuarial risks.
Secondly, it ignores the reality of urban development in the United States. Cities were formed along rivers and natural ports to expedite shipping and commerce. While we may wish they had been built on higher ground, historic cities such as St. Louis, New Orleans, New York and, yes, Sacramento, were built where they are and are now centers of regional economies. Would opponents of federal flood insurance advocate that such cities be abandoned and relocated?
Congress clearly has to balance national and local interests in putting the insurance program on a sounder financial footing.
In the meantime, residents of low-lying Sacramento and other parts of the Central Valley should prepare themselves. One way or another, insurance rates will rise higher. The question is how high, and how fast they will rise. | [

Primrose flowers are wonderful plants to grow, which can be proved not only by the beauty of their flowers, but also by the number of flower lovers who have them in their gardens.
These plants come in a wide range of colours: for example white, yellow, orange, red, blue, pink, and purple Primroses.
The flowers usually grow up to between eight and twenty five inches high.
Primrose is one of the first plants to bloom in early spring and even in late winter, so you can enjoy the new gardening season with the bright cheerful colors of this plant.
How to Plant Primrose Flowers
Primroses propagate naturally, as they slowly spread by rhizomes under the ground. The only thing you have to do is to divide them at the end of spring after the flowering period has finished.
You can always keep the extras to plant in another place and to have more beautiful Primroses in your garden, or you can share them with other gardeners if you have too many – they will be grateful for your thoughtful gesture.
Primroses prefer partial shade, so it is better to plant them in locations where they get a reasonable amount of morning sun, but at the same time will not be exposed to the sun at the hottest time of the day.
|Native to western and southern Europe, northwest Africa. Commonly found in woodland, hedgerows and meadows.
|Yellow, purple, pink, red and white.
|Small, fragrant flowers in umbels or clusters atop short stems.
How to Grow Primroses
You should provide a good level of water for your Primrose plants, but make sure that soil is also well drained. To leave them in standing water is potentially dangerous for the roots of most of the plants. At least once a month your plants should get fertilizer, a general organic matter will do well.
Read our stand-alone article titled Do Primroses spread? if you want to learn more about this.
After the blooming period, when the flowers are faded and dry, cut off the whole flower’s stem: doing so you will increase the chances of another blooming session within the same season.
Primroses look great next to spring blooming trees as well as some shrubs, including Azaleas and Camellias.
They complement spring bulb bloomers, make an excellent ground cover, and create a bright patch of color to a shady garden zone.
Besides that, Primroses look extremely attractive when planted in containers and baskets. Gardens with Shakespearean themes always contain Primroses, as they were mentioned in a few plays and sonnets of the great poet.
Popular Varieties of Primrose Flowers
Among the most popular varieties of Primroses there are English Primroses (known also as Common Primroses) – they have flowers of one inch in diameter and offer a myriad of attractive bright colours.
English Primroses grow up to six to eight inches in height and have relatively big leaves. They are tolerant to different types of soils and other garden conditions.
Another popular variety is Japanese Primrose (or Primula japonica). It requires moist soil and spreads by runners. These plants have white or red flowers which are usually bigger than the flowers of English Primroses. This particular variety has very beautiful flower stalks, called ‘candelabras’.
Evening Primrose is popular thanks to its oil.
These varieties are the most wide spread and popular among gardeners, but lots of other species also look exceedingly attractive in the flower bed, under the trees, and in containers or pots.
Primrose Flowers come in a range of sizes and depending on the variety you choose. White, red, orange, pink, purple are some of the combinations of colours you can get. They will grow from 8 to 24 inches tall. This is a cool temperature plant that is one of the first to pop out of dormancy in late Winter to early Spring.
Propagation by seed or division after their flowering season has finished.
A good, humus rich, well-drained soil is what nature had in mind for these plants.
There shouldn’t be a need to fertilize. Composting your leaves, greens from the kitchen and other green vegetation, will provide all that is necessary. Let’s not forget vermiculture for the ultimate compost.
These shade tolerant flowers will give way to the heat of summer, when the second round of flowers take over.
They are a welcome sight after the usually too long winter. | [

Reformation Preaching ConferencePosted Feb 25
Plan now to join Dr. Sam Waldron and Covenant Baptist Theological Seminary at this year’s Reformation Preaching Conference in Elizabethtown, Kentucky on October 9-10, 2015.
There is a great struggle going on in Christian churches in our land between churches that practice traditional worship and those who have contemporary services. Some churches in our community and elsewhere even have contemporary services for the contemporary and … Continue reading
The concern in this study is rooted in that great calling to serve one another. As Christian husbands and fathers, how should we view our ministry to our family? When our teenager has just vaulted into the annals of history with the stupidity and sinfulness of his behavior, how should we respond? When we let our wives down, how do we respond? When our families are struggling, how do we help them? What kind of ministry should we have in our home?
In this ten session study series, Dr. Sam Waldron paints a biblical portrait of a man's calling to be a priest in his home. For more information, please check out this study on CBTS Pathway. | [

Recent advances in coherent Raman spectroscopy hold exciting promise for many potential applications. For example, a technique, mitigating the nonresonant four-wave-mixing noise while maximizing the Raman-resonant signal, has been developed and applied to the problem of real-time detection of bacterial endospores. After a brief review of the technique essentials, we show how extensions of our earlier experimental work [Pestov D, et al. (2007) Science 316:265-268] yield single-shot identification of a small sample of Bacillus subtilis endospores (≈104 spores). The results convey the utility of the technique and its potential for "on-the-fly" detection of biohazards, such as Bacillus anthracis. The application of optimized coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering scheme to problems requiring chemical specificity and short signal acquisition times is demonstrated.

Global travellers are less restricted by visa regulations now than in previous years, a new study has found.
According to the UNWTO‘s latest ‘Visa Openness Report’, 62% of the world’s population was required to apply for traditional visa in 2014, down from 77% in 2008.
In addition, the proportion of the world’s population that could enter a destination either without a visa (19%) or with visa-on-arrival (16%) increased in 2014, from a respective 17% and 6% in 2008.
In fact, the report highlighted that more than half of all improvements made in the last four years in terms of visa facilitation were countries moving from ‘visa required’ status to ‘visa on arrival’.
“Visa facilitation is central to stimulating economic growth and job creation through tourism. Although there is much room for improvement, we are pleased to see that a growing number of governments around the world is taking decisive steps in this regard,” said UNWTO secretary-general, Taleb Rifai.
Countries in the Americas and Asia Pacific have been at the forefront of visa facilitation, according to the UNWTO, while Europe and the Middle East have more restrictive policies. Overall, emerging economies tend to be more open than advanced ones, with countries in Southeast Asia, East Africa, the Caribbean and Oceania offering some of the most relaxed policies.
And the UNWTO noted that these countries will be in stronger position to take advantage of the global tourism boom that will be driven by the world’s major emerging economies in the coming years.
“UNWTO forecasts international tourist arrivals to reach 1.8 billion by 2030, and easier visa procedures will be crucial to attract these travellers, especially tourists from emerging source markets like China, Russia, India and Brazil,” said Rifai.
Research by UNWTO and World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) shows that the G20 economies could boost their international tourist numbers by an additional 122 million generate an extra US$206bn in tourism exports and create over five million additional jobs by improving visa processes and entry formalities. Research carried out for APEC countries indicates that visa facilitation could create of 2.6m jobs in the APEC region. | [

Mumbai: Local train services in Mumbai, which were disrupted following heavy rainfall, resumed on Monday morning. “Trains on…mainline, harbour line and trans harbour line are running,” Central Railway informed.
Meanwhile, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted moderate to heavy rain or very heavy to very heavy at isolated places over Mumbai and its suburbs for the next 48 hours.
According to the IMD’s forecast, the maximum and minimum temperatures of the city will be 29 and 24 degrees Celsius respectively on Monday and Tuesday.
At least 31 people were killed and several injured in rain-related incidents, officials said. Termed as “demonic” by meteorologists, torrential downpours from a thunderstorm caused flooding in low-lying areas of the Maharashtra capital and even caused house collapses, electric shocks and landslides.
Officials said 19 people were killed in Mumbai’s Chembur and 10 in suburban Vikhroli. In both cases, people were crushed to death while sleeping in their homes. Apart from this, one person died due to electrocution in Andheri West.
Meteorological Department officials said the city received 235 mm of rain in the four hours between 12 am and 4 am on Sunday, hours after Mumbai received the season’s highest daily rainfall (253 million) on Friday. | [

Background: The Systemic Capillary Leak Syndrome (SCLS) is a rare disorder of unknown etiology presenting as recurrent episodes of shock and peripheral edema due to leakage of fluid into soft tissues. Insights into SCLS pathogenesis are few due to the scarcity of cases, and the etiology of vascular barrier disruption in SCLS is unknown. Recent advances in cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) allow for the quantitative assessment of the myocardial extracellular volume (ECV), which can be increased in conditions causing myocardial edema. We hypothesized that measurement of myocardial ECV may detect myocardial vascular leak in patients with SCLS. Methods: Fifty-six subjects underwent a standard CMR examination at the NIH Clinical Center from 2009 until 2014: 20 patients with acute intermittent SCLS, six subjects with chronic SCLS, and 30 unaffected controls. Standard volumetric measurements; late gadolinium enhancement imaging and pre- and post-contrast T1 mapping were performed. ECV was calculated by calibration of pre- and post-contrast T1 values with blood hematocrit. Results: Demographics and cardiac parameters were similar in both groups. There was no significant valvular disorder in either group. Subjects with chronic SCLS had higher pre-contrast myocardial T1 compared to healthy controls (T1: 1027 ± 44 v. 971 ± 41, respectively; p = 0.03) and higher myocardial ECV than patients with acute intermittent SCLS or controls: 33.8 ± 4.6, 26.9 ± 2.6, 26 ± 2.4, respectively; p = 0.007 v. acute intermittent; P = 0.0005 v. controls). When patients with chronic disease were analyzed together with five patients with acute intermittent disease who had just experienced an acute SCLS flare, ECV values were significantly higher than in subjects with acute intermittent SCLS in remission or age-matched controls and (31.2 ± 4.6 %, 26.5 ± 2.7 %, 26 ± 2.4 %, respectively; p = 0.01 v. remission, p = 0.001 v. controls). By contrast, T1 values did not distinguish these three subgroups (1008 ± 40, 978 ± 40, 971 ± 41, respectively, p = 0.2, active v. remission; p = 0.06 active v. controls). Abundant myocardial edema without evidence of acute inflammation was detected in cardiac tissue postmortem in one patient. Conclusions: Patients with active SCLS have significantly higher myocardial ECV than age-matched controls or SCLS patients in remission, which correlated with histopathological findings in one patient.

I am using a TComboBox to display various items. I want to programatically set the width of the Drop Down Element of the combo box but NOT the control itself. Is there a way of setting this width so that I am only changing the dropdown elements width?
If not is there another suitable control that does allow this?

This trip was very exciting, Sharks where all over the place, last day of the trip we had 5 sharks at the same time and 8 different sharks in 1 single dive, one of this sharks was all mark on the pectoral fins and on the area of the dorsal fin, she was a female and by the type of scares she has been mating recently. Been abel to observe all this different behaviors and just admiring the great white as close as 1 Ft. away from us is just hard to explain.
Bye for now Guadalupe

Strong coupling in a 2x2 directional coupler leads to cutoff of the antisymmetric supermode. This phenomenon produces unique dichroic splitting properties which have been observed experimentally and can be exploited in twin-core fiber sensors. A variational calculation of the supermode dispersion relations shows that the antisymmetric supermode for cores with V parameter unity cutoff when the core separation is four times the core diameter.
Keywords: Twin-cored fiber, directional coupler, antisymmetric mode
Coupled mode theory and supermode theory are sometimes presented as alternative ways of describing the behavior of optical fiber and integrated directional couplers. On the contrary, a correct development of coupled mode theory requires symmetric and antisymmetric combinations of single core modes to be introduced from the start unless asymmetric structures or very weak coupling regimes only are considered. A 2x2 directional coupler with cross section as shown in Figure 1 can be analyzed using coupled mode theory for the modes of the separated cores but on account of the symmetry of the cores this is a form of degenerate perturbation theory1. It is well known that degenerate perturbation theory is necessarily divergent at higher order unless the matrix of the coupling is diagonalised in the space of the degenerate unperturbed functions (modes). The linear combinations of modal fields which diagonalise the coupling matrix are the symmetric and antisymmetric supermodes referred to in the literature2. While the fundamental symmetric supermode of a 2x2 coupler is necessarily guided the corresponding anti-symmetric supermode may be cutoff with dramatic effect on the dichroic splitting properties of the device.
Calculation of Cutoff Condition
With r the variational parameter. The variation solution in the weak guiding approximation was performed with analytic evaluation of the infinite integrals and a Monte Carlo evaluation of the integral of ∆ (n2) = nco2 - ncl2 over the cores. In the approximation given, the result of bringing the cores close together can be expressed in reduced form by plotting dispersion curves of the reduced propagation constant, U =a √nco2ω2/c2 - β2, against the reduced frequency (fiber parameter), V = a ω/c √∆(n2), for different values of the reduced core spacing D = d/a. These curves are shown in Figure 2. The use of the variational method permits solution of the guiding problem for arbitrary core refractive index profiles. To check the numerical results comparison can be made with the analytic results of symmetric-antisymmetric mode splitting in step index and Gaussian index cores given by Meltz3. The antisymmetric mode cutoff referred to in reference 3 requires evaluation of direct, as well as mixing terms of the mode coupling matrix and is provide here for the first time. A further check on the accuracy of our numerical solution is the dispersion curves for symmetric and antisymmetric modes for large Vwhich converge on the single core HEll dispersion curve data for which have been tabulated4
Twin-cored fibers were prepared by the rod and tube method from laboratory Pyrex cladding (ncl = 1.474) and Schott ZKN7 zinc crown optical glass core (nco = 1.506). The core diameters were such as to satisfy the single mode condition for each core considered separately, that is to say that the fiber parameter, V, was less than 2.405. A phase contrast image of twin-cored fiber is shown in Figure 3. The cores in the first specimens were sufficiently well separated for their fundamental modes to be phase mismatched so that significant coupling between cores was avoided (Figure 4 a). In these specimens the expected sine-squared-theta fringes were observed crossing the far field mode spot (Figure 4 b) when the cores of the fiber were equally excited with a HeNe laser.
Some fibers were then made with somewhat smaller core separations. In these fibers the antisymmetric supermode was cutoff but, in addition, the variations of fiber diameter in the hand drawn fibers caused the symmetric and antisymmetric modes to be coupled. These fibers would not guide red HeNe laser light at all. It can be inferred that the symmetric-antisymmetric mode coupling length was not too different from the antisymmetric mode radiation length at this wavelength for it can be shown by coupled mode theory that the attenuation of a guided mode caused by coupling to a radiative mode is greatest in these circumstances5. On the other hand, if the radiation length of the radiative mode is much shorter than the coupling length the radiative mode amplitude never becomes large enough to attenuate the guided mode appreciably. These fibers guide the green and blue fluorescence, albeit imperfectly coupled from the laser, with high efficiency, allowing the spectrum to be recorded at the output end of the fiber.
The next step was the introduction of a directional coupling biconical taper in a fiber with well separated cores, the waist diameter in the taper being chosen to ensure cutoff of the antisymmetric mode. Since the | [

EBA Meeting with Mikheil Saakashvili, Head of the Executive Committee of the National Reforms Council of Ukraine
Yesterday, May 25, the European Business Association held a General Meeting with Mikheil Saakashvili, Head of the Executive Committee of the National Reforms Council of Ukraine. During the hour-long conversation, we were discussing with Mr. Saakashvili his first steps in the new position and his priorities to foster reforms in Ukraine.
There was a discussion of the changes that the National Reforms Council plans to introduce. Thus, the National Reforms Council will be focused on customs reform, large-scale deregulation, and reform of the justice system in Ukraine. Customs reforms are aimed at significantly increasing the efficiency of customs authorities. This includes the establishment of unimpeded conditions for transparent businesses, the reduction of documents needed for registration, and automatization of the customs services. Regarding the tax reform, Mr Saakashvili plans to resume the introduction of a withholding tax, as well as to gradually reduce the tax burden in the long run. The EBA member companies also addressed Mr. Saakashvili with comments on the work of regulatory authorities, the eradication of corruption, the introduction of structural changes in energy, infrastructure, health care, the banking sector, and the measures to support small businesses.
Mr. Saakashvili also plans to hold a hackathon with the participation of the President and business associations in the near future. The President and business representatives will spend several hours on intense brainstorming of reform ideas, followed by the meeting of the National Reforms Council and further processing of proposals.
The EBA member companies are ready to join and provide their expertise for the Executive Committee working groups which list of activities should be published soon. Also, we will raise the appeals and comments not voiced during yesterday’s discussion on the next meetings with Mr. Saakashvili and his team. Besides, we would like to thank everyone who participated in the discussion! | [

I decided to play with some shapes and vary from the perfect circle I have been using for so long. I took my inspiration from some nasturtium plants I had been growing on the fire escape. The irregular shape of the leaves intrigued me as I watered them day after day and with them in mind I stretched and hammered some perfect circles into a more organic shape. My colors are often inspired by nature and they take so well to this unusual leaf shape.
After I make a more organic shape the earrings are filled with crushed glass. Once the surface is well coated I torch fire the disc to fuse the crushed glass to the silver creating an even surface. I repeat the process until the surface of the silver is well covered in a rich hue. Next, I solder posts on I add a satin finish to the silver back and make the edges shine. The final pieces are just about 10mm.
There are three options in this collection...
Parisian blue is a rich blue hue.
Hydrangea is the brightest blue, just like those summer blooms we yearn for all spring long.
First frost is the palest green, like grass under a thin layer of frost.

While some trees are high maintenance and can become more trouble than they’re worth, others are relatively easy to maintain and combine low maintenance enjoyability with beauty and stunning curb appeal.
Some of our favorites to beautify your front yard include:
Crape Myrtle (Lagerstroemia) - an excellent survivor of a tree that love hot and sunny climates and bloom in the summer after most other trees have lost their spring time appeal. Crape myrtles don’t need to be topped off and with light pruning and plenty of room to grow, they’ll flourish with beautiful, colorful blooms.
Eastern Red Cedar (Juniperus Virginiana) - grows 40-50 feet and isn’t too picky about soil types. This tree can easily be planted in nearly any climate and it likes to soak up the rays, so be sure to plant it in full sun. An evergreen tree, birds flock to it year round and it also makes a great windbreak and screen.
Colorado Blue Spruce (Picea pungens) - with the ability to thrive nearly anywhere it’s planted, the Colorado Blue Spruce is a gorgeous tree that provides you with privacy and beauty all year long. Birds love to nest in it’s lush full branches and it’s cones make a gorgeous autumn decoration indoors.
With so many gorgeous trees to choose from, these are but a few choices we’ve highlighted for you to consider for sprucing up your home’s curb appeal. Be sure to follow our blog for a list of those high maintenance trees we mentioned earlier and give Mansfield Landscaping a call any time for answers to your questions. | [

Need a fast, fun halloween party idea that everyone will love? Look no further! These easy Mummy Hot Dogs come together in minutes, only take 10 minutes to bake, and can be served with a spooky, easy-to-prepare Monster Eyeball Dip.
Easy Mummy Hot Dogs for Halloween
Grilling season may be over, but hot dogs are still on the menu this fall with these adorable Mummy Hot Dogs!
With Halloween right around the corner, I’ve been on a mission to create cute, slightly spooky party food, and these Mummy Hot Dogs are exactly that! They’re SO easy to make, and they’ll be a guaranteed hit with the kiddos. Bonus? They actually taste good too! I hate when I make a cute themed dish, but no one actually eats it. We had no leftovers with these spooky Mummy Hot Dogs!
Here’s why: Hot dogs are wrapped in strands of soft crescent dough and topped with candy eyeballs. Then, for the finishing touch, ketchup and relish are mixed in a bowl with more candy eyes to create a scary monster dip! Name a dinner that’s more fun than this one… I’ll wait. ;)
My kids (and I!) had so much fun decorating and eating these hot dogs, so I decided that you all needed to get in on the good times, too. Serve these with some Pumpkin Spice Chex Mix for dessert, and you’ve got the perfect Halloween-night dinner/party menu!
What You’ll Need
So, other than hot dogs, what do you need to make these yummy mummies happen? Here’s a list of ingredients to round up:
- Hot Dogs: Use whatever brand you like – you could even try this recipe with mini sausages!
- Crescent Dough: A can of refrigerated Crescent roll sheets will become our mummy strips.
- Candy Eyes: To complete the spooky effect! You can find these usually in the baking aisle at any grocery store or online: candy eyes.
- Add-Ons: All of the usual condiments work! Add on mustard, ketchup, mayonnaise, pickle relish, and even a slice of cheese, if you like.
- Monster Dip: Combine ketchup, relish, and candy eyes to get this adorable spooky dip!
How to Make Mummy Hot Dogs
Homemade mummy hot dogs are a breeze to put together, as you’ll see in a moment, but still really fun. I mean, don’t they bring a big smile to your face? Or at least a little one?!
Here’s the mummy hot-dog-building process:
Preheat the Oven to 375°F: Spray a cookie sheet with nonstick cooking spray or line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the Crescent Dough: Unroll the crescent dough onto a large cutting board or clean counter top. Cut the crescent dough into 1/4th inch slices, down the long side of the dough.
Wrap the Hot Dogs: Starting at one end, wrap a strip of dough randomly around the hot dog. You may wish to use 2 strips per hot dog. Make sure you leave a gap for the eyes.
Bake the Hot Dogs: Place the crescent wrapped hot dogs on the prepared baking sheet and place mummy dogs into the oven. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until dough is golden brown.
Decorate: Remove the mummies from the cookie sheet and place on a serving plate. Place a dot of mustard for each eye and then place a candy eye on top of the mustard. This will help “glue” the eyes onto your mummy dog. You don’t need much and yes, you can also use ketchup!
Make the Monster Dip: Go around the outer edge of the bowl in a circular manner and make a “bowl of ketchup”. Fill the center with green relish. Randomly place eyes around the puddle.
Can I Make These in Advance?
I don’t recommend baking these in advance. They are best when fresh from the oven, and they also don’t store/reheat very well.
However, you can wrap them ahead, about an hour ahead, and then bake them for your guests. I wrapped mine before the kids got home from school and then placed them on the baking sheet.
I wrapped the baking sheet tightly in Saran Wrap and placed them back into the fridge. I pulled them out and baked them about an hour later when I got back home with the kiddos and it worked out perfectly.
Tips for Success

After visiting Montalcino we stopped by the Abbey of Sant' Antimo nearby. The church is first recorded in a deed from the year 813 but it is believed to have been founded by Charlemagne. It is a magnificent example of French-Tuscan Romanesque architecture. It derives its French style because of the fact that it was built by French monks from the famous Benedictine monastery of Cluny.

Water level at KRS dam crosses 100 feet mark, yet to reach full capacity
For the first time in two years, the water level at the Krishnaraja Sagar dam (KRS) has crossed the 100-feet mark. While the news brings cheer to many districts which heavily depend on the KRS, experts believe that the dam is unlikely to reach full capacity of 124.8 feet.
As on October 4, 2017, water level at the KRS dam, lifeline for many districts in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu stood at 109.90 feet as against a maximum limit of 124.8 feet. The live storage capacity as on the said date was at 27.22 TMC as against the maximum capacity of 45.05 TMC. The numbers are far better than last year when the live storage capacity on the same day was a mere 11.13 TMC.
HEavy rains in the catchments areas have filled up the dams but experts believe that the dam is unlikely to reach full capacity given that the monsoon season is about to end. The KRS dam had last reached its full capacity in 2013 and in 2015 it had reached the 110-ft mark. For two whole years, the water level at the KRS dam did not cross the 100-ft mark.
Repeated failure of monsoon had led to alarmingly low water levels at the dam through which Cauvery water is released to Tamil Nadu from upper riparian Karnataka. The water levels at Harangi dam stood at 2857.69 feet as against the maximum capacity of 2859 ft as on Wednesday. | [

It’s important to give every person that you date a blank, clean slate, and a fresh start.
When you bring trust issues into a new situation, it will never end good.
We tell the people we’re dating what we think is wonderful about them—it all comes from our eyes and experience.
Which, ya know, is great, but if you want to make some headway with their insecurities, direct your focus where they need it most. Everyone has different limits and boundaries in relationships.
She was free to do the same, except she didn’t want to.
Baggage is a term that used to describe bringing in issues from your past experiences when things were difficult, bad, and unfortunate.
Baggage is when you’ve been cheated on before or hurt from someone that you’ve dated or been in a relationship with, and you carry those wounds and issues into your new relationship.
These men become insecure and when YOUR happy ass comes strolling along full of sunshine, flowers and lollipops and lures his heart into the zone he thought he would never go again [LOVE] he will go CRAZY at the idea you may be cheating.
And that pain and disrespect that he CANNOT return in-kind emotionally, will become something he will want to return PHYSICALLY with his wannabe Anderson Silva punk-ass. | [

Mirroring Memories - Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak
Moonlit trees, reflecting a mood of silent adversity,
waiting in corners of my mind.
Taking steps to remember days of old as they try to
be forgotten in times of lonely sorrow.
Mirroring left-over memories as they float away upon
waves of an ocean.

With all the commotion on the planet right now, many are questioning where the world is going, and wondering where we stand. More people are ending relationships, getting divorced, and more are experiencing anxiety and depression. It feels like everything is falling apart.
As Conscious Creators wanting to change the world, we are sensitive to the planetary energies. You may be feeling depressed, anxious, or afraid, but those emotions are likely the collective emotions of the planet you are sensing. Go outside yourself, keep expanding, feeling everyone and everything in the world, and remember why you’re here.
What are you seeing in the world that is calling to you? Where do you want to help? What do you want the world to remember about you? What is your legacy?
Your life is not about YOU. Your life is about the lives that you touch.
When you focus on the pain, you’re not living in your reality. The pain, suffering, and fear is an ILLUSION. It’s time to see past the illusion, and become your SOUL.
Sometimes we need to be reminded who we are. We all need support, a community…a tribe that pushes us to grow. We are all on this journey to bring more and more of our SOUL into our body, and that is a BIG thing, so support is important. I am here to support you. I am here to wake you up.
Yes, it is WORK, but that doesn’t mean it has to be HARD. Work does not mean suffering or resistance. Let that illusion go.
When will you start to embody all of you? What are you waiting for? What are your excuses? No money? Family? What’s keeping you from jumping? Consider that you have lived the HARD way for so long, that you may be addicted to being a victim. It’s time to heal that and step into your Light!
Utopia is coming. The world that everyone wants is not a dream. I know that I will get to see it, so I am working toward it every day. No more excuses.
My weekend at the Mindvalley Reunion has really pumped me up, pushing me to my edges! It’s uncomfortable, but it makes me expand even more, and ask myself, “How can I impact the world in a bigger way?”
And I know how. It’s time for me to push YOU harder than ever before to become YOU!
We are here, in this life, on this planet, in this tribe, for ultimate JOY…to truly FEEL the reality we are just beginning to see.
“Walking With The Masters” will be a powerful support group. You are here for a reason. There are NO coincidences. If you’re ready to change your reality and affect others in a bigger way, to embody your SOUL, then I invite you to join us! Remember, EVERYTHING happens on the other side of your decision.
Are you ready?
Join us for YOUR revolution HERE
Infinite LOVE to you, | [

In July 1944 a B-29 Superfortress aircraft conducted a series of flight tests at the NACA Aircraft Engine Research Laboratory (now NASA Glenn) in Cleveland, Ohio. The tests were part of a national effort to get the new bomber into combat as the Allies sought to turn the tide in the Pacific theater of World War II.
Boeing designed the Superfortress to make precision bombing strikes from altitudes out of reach of enemy defenses. The revolutionary aircraft could fly higher and farther than previous bombers. The rush to get the aircraft into the war, however, resulted in an array of problems.
One of the primary concerns was the overheating of the aircraft’s four engines as they struggled to reach high altitudes with their heavy payloads. The center employed several teams of researchers and test facilities to investigate the R-3350 cooling issue.
What they discovered was that design of the R-3350 piston heads did not allow for enough heat dissipation, resulting in exhaust valve failures. Researchers designed a new elongated cylinder head that had enough surface area to properly disperse the heat.
The R-3350’s carburetor was also not distributing the fuel evenly to each of the engine’s valves, so engineers designed a new impeller to increase the injection flow and create a uniform fuel supply to the cylinders.
During wind tunnel evaluations, researchers discovered there was insufficient cooling in the engine’s exhaust area, so baffles were inserted into the engine to direct the cooling air flow to that area. They also redesigned cowl flaps to increase cooling air without causing further drag.
A B-29 arrived at the laboratory on June 22, 1944 to flight test the NACA findings. Technicians installed the new modifications in the bomber’s two left-wing engines. Test pilots from Wright Field tested it in the Cleveland skies ten times with different combinations of the modifications.
Overall the flight tests corroborated the wind tunnel and test stand studies. With proper fuel mixture and cowl flap settings the engine attained its maximum range on each flight. The baffles and fuel injection impeller increased performance by 38% during periods of maximum cooling. The investigators estimated that this translated into an extra 10,000 feet of altitude or 35,000 pounds of payload.
The Superfortresses overcame their early travails and became a decisive weapon in the final years of World War II. B-29s went on to perform refueling, reconnaissance, and patrol duties in the post-war years.

Math solver app
There are a lot of Math solver app that are available online. Our website will give you answers to homework.
The Best Math solver app
In this blog post, we will be discussing about Math solver app. Solving inequalities can be a very difficult task. The standard method of solving an inequality is to add or subtract the values of the variables involved until the inequality is true. This method can be time consuming, especially if the problem involves a large number of variables. Some programs, such as MATLAB and Maple, allow students to create “solver” functions that simplify the process of solving inequalities. These functions are often very powerful, and can solve problems more quickly than traditional methods. For more advanced users, there are also many online resources for solving inequalities. Solver websites will allow users to create a test problem (such as a variable equation) and then provide a solution for it. Although this method requires some experience with programming, it is a very powerful tool for students who struggle with inequality problems.
A trigonometric function is a mathematical function that relates two angles. Trig functions are used in trigonometry, which is the study of triangles. There are many trig functions, including sine and cosine. A trigonometric function is represented by an angle (theta) and a side (the length of the hypotenuse). The angle is measured from left to right, so if you have an angle of 60 degrees, the hypotenuse would be 4 times as long as the other side. Another way to look at it is based on the 90-degree difference between adjacent angles: angles adjacent to a 90 degree angle are 180 degrees apart; angles adjacent to a 45 degree angle are 135 degrees apart; and angles adjacent to a 0 degree angle are 90 degrees apart. The first derivative of a trig function is called its "derivative." The derivative of sin(x) = x - x^2 The second derivative of a trig function is called its "second derivative." The second derivative of sine(x) = 2x You can find these values by taking the derivative with respect to x, then plugging in your initial value for x. If you know how to do these derivatives, you can use them to solve equations. For example, if y = sin(x), then dy/dx = 2sin(x)/(
While you can't completely prevent tanning, there are ways to protect yourself when you're out in the sun. Wear a hat, apply sunscreen regularly and stay out of the midday sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV rays hit their peak strength. Keep your skin hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day and applying a hydrating moisturizer after you shower. And if you see any signs of skin damage or abnormalities, see your doctor right away so you can start treatment early.
Once you've found one of those values, you can plug it into the other side of the equation to get x^2 + 5x - 10 = 0. If you don't know how to do this, just ask an adult for help! It's always better to find out now than after you've done all that work and messed up all your work! Another thing to keep in mind is that in order for a quadratic equation to be true, every term on both sides of the equation must be equal to each other. So if one side is bigger than the other (like "5x - 10" is bigger than "0"), then it can't be true. As long as you make sure both sides of your equation are equal, you should be fine! And finally, make sure that when you divide numbers together in your quadratic equations, you're doing it carefully. When dividing numbers that aren't whole | [

Using Time Series Encodings to Discover Baseball History’s Most Interesting Seasons
Take me out to the ballgame! Take me out to the crowd! For the 2,829 seasons that have been played for 101 baseball teams since 1880, which seasons were unlike any others? Using SAX Encoding to recognize patterns in time series data, the most special years in baseball can be found.
By Adam Faskowitz, TIBCO.
Baseball is one of the oldest sports in the United States, with a history dating back to the 19th century. Since 1880, there have been 101 different teams who have played a grand total of 2,829 different seasons. By looking at the data, I wanted to statistically uncover which of these 2,829 seasons were anomalies, which teams had seasons unlike any other. To accomplish this, I utilized a method called SAX (Symbolic Aggregate Approximation) encoding. The advantage of using SAX is that it is able to act as a dimensionality reduction tool, it is tolerant of time series of different lengths, and it makes trends easier to find.
SAX encoding is a method used to simplify time series through the summarization of time intervals. By averaging, binning, and symbolically representing periods, the data becomes much smaller and easier to deal with, while still capturing its important aspects. I came across the method when looking at sensor data from the manufacturing industry. Wanting to find anomalous patterns, I discovered that looking at the unique SAX representations lead me to find sensors with higher failure rates. Applying the same idea to baseball seasons, I used unique SAX representations to find anomalous seasons.
The data used for this analysis is pulled from the pybaseball library in Python. Attached is a link to its Github: https://github.com/jldbc/pybaseball
For my analysis, I took every MLB season since 1880 and viewed each as a time series that is represented, at any given point, by the cumulative number of wins minus the number of losses. In baseball lingo, each season is a graph of the number of games above or below 0.500 (even number of wins and losses). Below is the time series for the 2000 Anaheim Angels:
Representing every season like this, I can store all 2,892 teams in one pandas dataframe:
The NaN values here are due to the differing lengths of MLB seasons over time. In the 19th century, seasons consisted of around 82 games, while since the 1960s most seasons have been twice as long, with around 162 games. SAX encoding is thankfully able to deal with the problem of differing lengths of seasons without issue.
Now that there is a numerical representation of each season, I will normalize the data to keep each season on the same scale. After transforming the data, each data point is represented by the number of standard deviations above or below the mean, as compared to the other 2,981 seasons. The resulting dataframe:
Piecewise Aggregate Approximation
The first step of SAX encoding is performing PAA (Piecewise Aggregate Approximation) on the time series. This method splits the time series into n subsections and then uses the average of each subsection as its new value. Think of PAA as a way to summarize sections of the data. Depending on the number of splits, the resulting dataframe holds a metric of how well a team has been doing in each subsection of the season. In my case, I chose to make n = 5, meaning that each column represents a fifth of the season.
Taking a look at column 0 above, the numbers represent the average performance of the different seasons during the first fifth of the season. As a result, we have metrics that can give a general trend of how the team performed across the whole season.
After PAA, the beauty of the method comes as you convert the results into a single, symbolic representation. Now that we have metrics for each ‘split’ of the season, we can bin these measurements into different categories. Here, it might be valuable to set up the bins so that teams with varying performances are separated. In this case, I ended up choosing four bins, represented by an ‘alphabet’ of A, B, C, & D, which in turn essentially suggests whether a team was horrible, bad, good, or great for a given slice of the season. Looking back at our PAA chart on the left, we can translate those values into the chart on the right and, after aggregating the slices, every season can now be represented simply by a “SAX string.”
The value of the SAX strings becomes clear now that we can easily count the frequency of seasons associated with each SAX string. For example, the most frequent SAX string is ‘CCCCC,’ which 628 seasons are represented by. What is particularly interesting is looking at the seasons where the SAX string is unique | [

As the mercury plummets, winter sports dominate the TV, and beanies, scarves and extra socks are here to stay. You may even have gone to bed wearing your dressing gown and fallen asleep (#noshame).
It’s easy to be toasty warm when you’ve got access to a heater, several layers of clothing and a cosy home, but have a think about your pets… especially if they live outside.
With that in mind, we’re on a mission to ensure your pet stays as warm as possible this winter, whether they’re lucky enough to share your Koala mattress with you or not! There are quite a few things to consider during the colder months, including pet clothing, diet and grooming.
Firstly, when winter strikes, most people tend to be more lenient about allowing pets inside. If your pets aren’t normally inside, it’s important to consider whether you have any toxic plants inside.
“The complement to modern interiors could prove to be a fatal combination to your precious fur baby, as many indoor plants are poisonous to pets,” says PETstock veterinarian Dr. Bronwen Slack. “It’s important to first check the safety of all plants and flowers before your pets have access to them.”
Indoor plants that are toxic to pets include the likes of aloe vera, lilies, devil’s ivy and philodendron. A comprehensive list can be found on the RSPCA website.
Another thing to consider for those pets that are coming inside occasionally during winter is that carbon monoxide poisoning has the potential to harm pets as well as humans.
“It’s important to ensure your gas heater is regularly serviced and maintained,” says Dr. Slack. “Ensure you’re also weary of any candles, hot surfaces or cords that aren’t usually there that could be a potential harm to your pet.”
If your animals are too big to bring inside or if they’re simply not indoor pets, you need to be extra cautious and keep an eye on how they’re coping with the cold. “If you are feeling the cold, it is likely your pet is too. When walking or running your dog in the cold or rain, a lightweight, waterproof coat that can help keep them warm and dry is a great idea,” says Dr. Slack.
Winter Pet Tips from PETstock veterinarian, Dr. Bronwen Slack
- If you’re unsure about the safety of a particular plant, talk to your veterinarian for advice
- Keep candles out of the way of wagging tails and place a protective cover in front of gas heaters or open fireplaces to avoid burns
- Regularly service gas heaters and appliances
- Blankets and high-quality heating mats can be used to keep pets warm at night, but ensure your pet can regulate body temperature by freely moving away from heating or blankets if their temperature rises
- Pets’ coats are often neglected during winter so it’s important to maintain regular grooming
- Weight gain is common during the colder months when animals are less active, so keep exercise up and control portion sizes
This winter, make sure you make your furry friend a priority and take their warmth seriously. Just remember, you’re their owner, best friend and carer; if you’re not keeping them warm no one is! | [

Iran is not pursuing a nuclear weapons program at this time, the United States assessed in a newly released report on countering weapons of mass destruction published on Friday.
Axar.az reports that, titled 2023 Strategy for Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction, identified the Islamic Republic as a "persistent threat" and warned that it could build a nuclear weapon in two weeks.
"Iran not pursuing a nuclear weapons program at this time, but has the capacity to produce enough fissile material for a nuclear device in less than two weeks," the report noted.

Former soldier Christopher Bowe was caught drug-driving on two separate occasions.
Police stopped the 31-year-old driving a BMW 1 Series in Burslem and he tested positive for cannabis.
Three months later, he was stopped on the M6 near the junction with the A500 and admitted he had been smoking cannabis. Magistrates heard tests revealed he was over the limit for derivatives of both cannabis and cocaine on that date.
He has now been sentenced for both matters, plus another charge relating from his conduct towards police officers who tried to arrest him on a separate date.
Prosecutor Emma Thompson said: "The defendant was stopped on December 13 last year in Moorland Road and provided a positive test at the roadside.
"On March 21, he was in the same vehicle when he was stopped on the M6. He admitted to the police he had been using cannabis. He provided a positive drug swipe.
"On September 2, police attended the defendant's address to arrest him in relation to other matters. The defendant answered the door and advised officers they could not come in. He tried to slam the door shut.
"Officers forced entry and grabbed the defendant. He struggled, grabbing a radiator to the extent that it was pulled off the wall. Officers used their PAVA spray."
Bowe, of Meir View, Meir, pleaded guilty to two charges of driving a vehicle with a proportion of a specified drug over the limit, plus resisting a police officer.
James Hulse, mitigating, said Bowe was already working with the Probation Service while on licence following a previous prison sentence. "He is doing brilliantly," he said. "He is required to cooperate with the Probation Service in a number of areas and has punitive sanctions.
"He came out of prison last year. He had taken some cocaine in December, which he regrets. There was a breakdown in his family relationship which put him in a dark place and he used cannabis as a crutch. He has now worked through that."
Magistrates handed Bowe a 12-month community order, with a 10-day rehabilitation activity requirement. He was disqualified from driving for 36 months. Bowe must also pay a £200 fine plus £495 in court costs and charges.
A 37-year-old man has denied drug-driving.
Jawad Akbar, of Wellington Road, Hanley, is charged with driving a vehicle with a proportion of a specified controlled drug above the limit.
He pleaded not guilty during a hearing at North Staffordshire Justice Centre.
The case was adjourned to go before a district judge on November 10.
Expectant mother Aneta Andrzejewska has admitted biting a police officer.
The 30-year-old pleaded guilty at North Staffordshire Justice Centre to a charge of assaulting an emergency worker.
The court heard the incident took place on August 21.
Magistrates said the offence was so serious that they required a pre-sentence report about Andrzejewska by the Probation Service before she could be sentenced. The case was adjourned until October 20.
Driver Levi Lockitt was caught behind the wheel after smoking cannabis.
Magistrates at North Staffordshire Justice Centre heard the 31-year-old was stopped by police in Garth Street, Hanley, on March 30.
He tested positive for cannabis at the roadside and a blood sample confirmed he was over the legal limit.
Lockitt, of Upper Hillchurch Street, Hanley, pleaded guilty to driving a vehicle with a proportion of a specified drug over the limit.
Kate Preston, mitigating, said: "There was no unacceptable driving. He was fully co-operative with the police."
Magistrates fined Lockitt £120 and disqualified him from driving for 12 months. He must also pay £169 in court costs and charges.
A 27-year-old woman has admitted making a threatening phone call.
Sereah Brown, of Honeywall, Penkhull, pleaded guilty at North Staffordshire Justice Centre to a charge of conveying a threatening message. The incident happened on August 20.
Magistrates said they needed a pre-sentence report from the Probation Service before dealing with Brown. The case was adjourned until October 20.
Forty-two-year-old Timothy Powis, of Weaver Road, Uttoxeter, denied six charges of making indecent images of children and possession of an extreme pornographic image.
His trial will be held at Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court in the week commencing April 19, 2022 and his bail was extended.
Michael Teague, aged 21, and Oliver Teague, aged 18, both of Smithpool Road, Fenton, have been charged with causing grievous bodily harm with intent on December 28, 2020.
They will appear at Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court on October 29, | [

WORKS: This clock is designed to run for one week. The winding drum is much smaller in diameter than a standard height clock so it requires the use of less cord for the 16 revolutions when winding and consequently less weight drop. Unlike most clocks, this clock is made to strike only once per hour rather than a full hour strike. This was probably a cost saving measure.
FORM: This is one of just three known Southern “dwarf” clocks. With a case made of red pine, it is possible that the clock was made in New England and then retained by Gardiner.
MAKER: Barzillai Gardiner (also spelled Gardner) was a Quaker clockmaker and silversmith born May 23, 1778, into the New Garden Monthly Meeting in Guilford County, North Carolina. He was one of 11 children born to Barzillai and Jemima (Macy) Gardiner, who had moved to North Carolina from Nantucket in the early 1770s.
On April 4, 1794, Barzillai was granted a certificate to the York Monthly Meeting in Pennsylvania. This was probably the beginning of his apprenticeship to Jonathan Jessup, a Guilford-County-born clock and watchmaker in York, Pennsylvania. On November 16, 1796, Jessup advertised in the Pennsylvania Herald and York General Advertiser that his apprentice Barzillai Gardiner had runaway. Jessup thought that the youg man was on his way back to North Carolina and described him as having fair hair, walking stiffly, and being five feet eight or nine inches tall. Barzillai apparently had two years, five months, and 24 days left of his apprenticeship at the time of the ad.
Sometime after his return to North Carolina, Gardiner is believed to have married Mary Wilson (b. 1777), the daugheter of William and Eunice (Worth) Wilson of Center Monthly Meeting. The couple had two daughters: Delphina Eliza, born in 1811, and Flora Marzillai in 1814.
On April 21, 1807, Gardiner advertised in the Raleigh Minerva that he had moved to Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, NC, where he had begun the watchmaking, clockmaking, silversmithing and goldsmithing business in parnership with Andrew McBride. He was involved in several real estate transactions in Charlotte in 1812 and 1813.
Barzillai Gardiner died in late 1815, and his loose estate papers were filed in the February court term, 1816, in Mecklenburg County. Included in the inventory of his belongings was “1 Chest of Clock & Watch Tools his own” valued at $128.25, the most costly item on his inventory. By 1817 Gardiner’s wife and two daughters were in the Alamance County area, being received into the Cane Creek Meeting. Around 1817, Mary (Wilson) Gardiner married the widower John Long (b. 1761), who was a member of Cane Creek. | [

Head north along the Panamerican Highway and you’ll come across Calderón, a town famous for taking bread dough figurines (traditionally placed on graves during Day of the Dead remembrances on Nov. 2) to new artistic heights.
Calderón is, first and foremost, a working town. Along the main street, you’ll find bakeries, hardware stores, clothing stores and a public bathroom (pay a small fee to the attendant to enter).
The town is most famous, though, for stores where brightly colored figures called masapán are made and sold. Sculpted out of bread dough (not marzipan, although their Spanish name sounds similar), the figures are finished with glue, paint, and layers of varnish. They may not be edible, but they’re scrumptiously decorated; some even have elaborate details like miniature ruffles.
Along Calderón’s main street, you’ll be able to find masapán animals ranging from llamas to whales. Indigenous figures and Christmas are the more popular motifs, but you can find masapán for all occasions, such as Halloween, weddings, and baptisms.
The masapán sculptures come in a range of sizes – from big enough to hang on a wall to small enough to fit in a walnut. While many are intended to be ornaments, you can also buy magnets, earrings, and cocktail sticks.
When making a purchase, be sure to consider the fragility of each item. A hummingbird poised in flight might be beautiful but is more likely to lose a wing in your suitcase than, say, a plump penguin. When it comes to nativity scenes, those enclosed in a hard nut are more likely to last than ones in a bread shell.
You can buy the smallest masapán, made into pins, for 25 cents. Prices increase from there, depending on the size and detail of each creation. If you intend to buy a lot of pieces, ask for a bulk discount. Store owners are usually open to bargaining.
Artisans are also often willing to demonstrate how the figures are made when visitors stop by their workshops. (Ask at a store counter and, if someone is available, you’ll likely be led to a work space in back.) A skilled worker can make up to 300 small pieces a day.
Although there is a artisan’s union that produces masapán, it was closed on Saturday afternoon. Locals told us it is only open from Monday to Friday in the mornings.
The town has a small church, Parroquia San José de Calderón, which was also closed on Saturday, and a daily vegetable market. The best day to buy produce is on Sunday.
To get to Calderón: head north out of Quito on the Pan-American Highway. The journey by car takes between 15 to 20 minutes.
The easiest way to get there by bus is to first go to La Ofelia (the last stop on the Metrobus line). Signs for Calderón are clearly marked in La Ofelia, which is a large hub for buses headed north. The trip takes about a half an hour (depending on traffic) and costs 5 cents if you have transfered from the Metrobus. The bus will take you down Calderón’s main street. Get off at the stop with the vegetable market.
The buses head in a huge loop to Calderón and back to Quito, so get on one marked La Ofelia to return. The trip back costs 25 cents.
Other neighborhoods in Quito: Northern Quito – the “New Town”, Near Quito, Mitad del Mundo, La Floresta, Centro Histórico, Plaza Foch, Pululahua Volcanic Crater, La Mariscal, San Marcos and Cumbayá.

On the Optimization of Multiple Applications for Sensor Networks
Wireless Sensor Networks are an important example of networked embedded systems, and they have a key role to play in the development and materialization of the concept of an Internet of Things. Most current deployments of sensor networks are very application-specific and only target a particular goal. This negatively impacts the cost-effectiveness of the network, thereby reducing the incentive to deploy a sensing infrastructure in the first place. Multi-purpose sensor networks can overcome these limitations, where they can be used for more than one application simultaneously. To promote the role of wireless sensor networks as an infrastructure technology, support for multiple independent applications is essential, such that different users can concurrently submit their applications to accomplish diverse goals. In this dissertation, we address various challenges that arise when the support of multiple applications is enabled on a sensor network, mainly with respect to application development, installation and execution. First, we propose a holistic programming framework called Nano-CF that is built on top of the Nano-RK operating system that allows independent users to deploy applications at a network level, and coordinates network activity. Then, we propose various approaches to reduce the resource consumption at different levels in a sensor network. Most sensor networking applications are designed for sampling one or more sensors, conduct signal processing on the sensed data, and communicate this data with other devices in the network. With more than one such application executing on the network, it is highly probable that some redundancies occur across applications. In this work, we identify and eliminate these redundancies through a compile-time approach that identifies the temporal overlap across the execution of the applications. Moreover, we augment the Nano-CF framework with a hierarchical task-assignment scheme that selectively eliminates the redundancies while simultaneously conforming to the resource constraints of the sensor node and the application requirements. Finally, we propose a network-level scheme called Network-Harmonized Scheduling that coordinates the packet transmissions in a simple and distributed way such that the radio can be used efficiently in a multi-hop network with multiple applications releasing packets periodically.

New Delhi: Air pollution in Delhi neared the "severe" category again amid unfavourable meteorological conditions on Tuesday and a relief is unlikely soon.
The capital's 24-hour average Air Quality Index (AQI), recorded at 4 pm everyday, stood at 397, worsening from 358 on Monday and 218 on Sunday.
Air pollution levels hit the severe category (AQI above 400) at many places within the city, including ITO (427), RK Puram (422), Punjabi Bagh (423), Nehru Nagar (450), Anand Vihar (439) and Nehru Nagar (450).
Neighbouring Ghaziabad (356), Gurugram (386), Greater Noida (348), Noida (364) and Faridabad (384) also recorded very poor air quality.
Squandering the relief due to rain, Delhi recorded a jump in pollution levels and a smoky haze returned on Monday after people flouted the ban on firecrackers on Diwali night.
According to IQAir, a Swiss company that specialises in air quality monitoring, Delhi was the most polluted city in the world on Tuesday, followed by Dhaka Lahore and Mumbai.
Delhi recorded its best air quality on Diwali day in eight years on Sunday, with its 24-hour average AQI settling at 218 at 4 pm.
However, the bursting of firecrackers till late Sunday night led to a spike in pollution levels amid low temperatures.
An AQI between zero and 50 is considered ‘good’, 51 and 100 ‘satisfactory’, 101 and 200 ‘moderate’, 201 and 300 ‘poor’, 301 and 400 ‘very poor’, 401 and 450 ‘severe’ and above 450 ‘severe plus’.
"It's evident that the spike in pollution levels post Diwali is due to two factors -- firecracker bursting and farm fires -- with fireworks being the predominant reason in this case," an official of the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM), a statutory body responsible for formulation of strategies to reduce pollution in Delhi-NCR, told PTI.
According to a system developed by the Pune-based Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology to identify the contribution of different pollution sources, stubble-burning accounted for 12 per cent of the air pollution in the capital on Tuesday. It is likely to be 14 per cent on Wednesday and 6 per cent on Thursday.
Delhi recorded an AQI of 312 on Diwali last year, 382 in 2021, 414 in 2020, 337 in 2019, 281 in 2018, 319 in 2017 and 431 in 2016, according to CPCB data.
The city's AQI a day after Diwali stood at 360 in 2015, 445 in 2016, 403 in 2017, 390 in 2018, 368 in 2019, 435 in 2020, 462 in 2021 and 303 in 2022.
The CAQM official quoted above said stringent measures, including a ban on construction work and the entry of polluting trucks in the national capital, under the final stage of the central government's air pollution control plan called the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) will continue until further orders.
"Stubble burning incidents are rising again and the meteorological conditions are not favourable (for dispersion of pollutants). We will review the situation and act accordingly," the official added. | [

The term “Political Correct” has been in the nation’s vocabulary for only a short period of time but has changed the way that we view life and communicate with one another. Political correctness, politically correct, and P.C. are terms that refer, to a social idea that is characterized by efforts to redress, mainly by the use of language, real or supposed discrimination on the basis of race, sex, religion, nationality, disability or any other criteria that could offended a particular group.The main goal behind political correctness is to prevent the exclusion or the offending of people based upon differences or handicaps.
In an essay written by Michiko Kakutani entitled The Word Police, she examines the idea of political correctness and questions society for taking a good idea and making a mockery of it. Kakutani is quick to point out in her story that know one can argue that the moral idea’s behind being political correct are wrong but that those in potions of authority have gone completely out of control trying to rewrite the view of the world in a rigid unyielding style that forces words and phrases into the minds of ever person in America. Groups like the MLA (Modern Language Association) have taken words that have been used for centuries and have created new ones overnight that are political correct and non offensive, the problem is that society is not prepared to be political correct overnight and who is to judge what should be changed and where the line for all this change should be drawn.
Kakutani points out many obscured changes that have occurred since the word police have begun enforcing changes to the terms we use. Phrase such as “charley horse”, “lazy Susan”, “bull market” and “Kaiser Roll” have all come under fire because they are now considered to be politically incorrect. When going to a restaurant you will no longer be using the term “Waiter” or Waitress” to address the person who serves your food since this is a complete prejudice attack on that individual, you will need to refer to that person as the “Waitron” so as not to offend. In fact all references to sexual orientation associated with any position or station life are to be removed from the words we speak and write, no longer can we use terms such as “lord”,”king”, “master” or “ fellow” to describe a man, I’m not certain what the new words are to replaces these but I’m sure someone will catch me saying something like, “ my friend is a nice fellow” and quickly set me straight... | [

GUWAHATI: The Assam cabinet has approved felling of trees outside forest areas.
The decision was taken under Assam Trees Outside Forest (Sustainable Management) Rules 2022.
This was informed by Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma.
The Assam chief minister informed that 71 species of trees, including commonly used/commonly grown tree species and shade trees to be exempted from prior registration and prior felling permission vis-a-vis 11 exempted species in the old rules of 2002.
Transportation of these tree species does not need the issuance of a transit pass.
Online felling permission and certificate of origin, if the proposed felling site is above 5 km from the nearest forest, shall be generated within 48 hours of application, informed Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma.
“If it is not provided within the timeline, the same is deemed to be issued, provided all the online application requirements are satisfactory,” an official statement from Assam CM stated.
Moreover, in the case of plantations located within 5 km of the felling site and if the felling permission is not generated within the stipulated time, the same would be deemed to have been issued, said an official statement. | [

BELGRADE (Serbia), June 14 (SeeNews) – Serbia has signed a contract for the reconstruction of its section of the railway line between Subotica and the Hungarian Szeged with a consortium made up of the Russian company RZD International and the Serbian Karin Komerc, announced the government in Belgrade.
The consortium submitted the unique offer, worth 10.2 billion dinars (105.1 million dollars / 86.7 million euros), as part of a call for tenders for the repair of the railway line built in April, the Serbian government said in a statement on Saturday.
The contract provides for the modernization of the 26.6 km rail section for speeds of up to 120 km / h, of the buildings at Palic, Backi Vinogradi and Horgos stations, as well as the repair of 13 level crossings and two crossings. underground.
In October, the Serbian government said it hoped to complete the project to redesign the Subotica-Szeged cross-border rail line by mid-2022.
Hungary plans to build additional sections of the railway line, connecting Szeged to Hodmezovasarhely, Bekescsaba and Baja, while the line can also connect to the Belgrade-Budapest railway, which is currently under reconstruction as part of the China-Central and Eastern European Country Cooperation Initiative (CEEC), the Serbian Ministry of Infrastructure said in 2019.

nortegas is Spain’s second largest natural gas operator. We operate 8,100 kilometres of distribution networks across three autonomous communities (the Basque Country, Asturias and Cantabria) and have 1,016,138 supply points (as of December 2017).
At nortegas, our main line of business involves managing regulated distribution assets (which includes promoting, developing and building new infrastructure) as well as providing operation, maintenance and optimisation services.
One of the main ways in which natural gas is transported (after being compressed) is through gas pipelines. Pumping stations located along the pipeline keep the gas flowing through the pipe. The gas is depressurised before being incorporated into the distribution network so it can be used.Distribution in satellite plants (LNG and LPG)
The least expensive way of transporting gas over long distances is with large tank ships, or carriers, that can safely transport liquefied natural gas (LNG) to any destination in the world. In order to transport the gas, we must first liquefy it at atmospheric pressure and a temperature of -161ºC, shrinking its volume about 600 times.
The gas eventually reaches regasification plants, where it is returned to its original state so it can be used by consumers: the liquefied gas travels through pipes to cryogenic tanks and the LNG undergoes a vaporisation process to increase its temperature. The characteristic unpleasant odour is added so that leaks can be quickly detected, and then the natural gas is sent to the distribution network to be delivered to the end user.
nortegas distributes gas to customers in the regulated market and also supplies piped liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). We distribute liquefied natural gas to some towns and districts through satellite plants located there.
Our business group currently has the following facilities
|Community||Capacity (m3)||Vaporisation (Nm3/h)||Unloading (m3 (lng)/h)|

Commercial Buildings - All commercial buildings require a building permit to re-roof. Commercial projects that include the removal of roof insulation must replace the insulation with thicknesses that meet the current energy code. An energy code calculation is typically required and generally results in an increase in insulation thickness.
Residential Buildings - One & two-family dwellings do not require a permit to replace shingles only. Permits are required for re-roofing projects that include the repair or replacement of roof decking, or structural members like rafters or trusses.
What is the code on decking? Decking is per 2018 IRC Section R803 and Table R503.2.1.1(1)
Is drip edge required? Yes, if replacing decking per 2018 IRC Section R905.2.8.5
Ventilation requirements?Per 2018 IRC Section 806
All re-roofing projects, including those that do not require a building permit, must meet code provisions. Flashings and drip edges are required. Shingles must be completely removed before the installation of new shingles. Underlayment must also be replaced when re-shingling a roof. | [

Are you looking for the best power bank with wireless charging? This method is a fairly new phenomenon, and has not yet had time to get used to the functionality of modern technologies. Few gadgets today can support this feature. However, its popularity due to its compactness and convenience will soon be able to spread to all continents. Many people think this gadget allows you to charge a gadget completely wirelessly. This is not entirely true.
First, it is worth understanding that the charging itself must be connected to the power supply network. There will be an area on it where you need to put your smartphone. With the help of the unique Qi technology, which must be present in the gadget, you can easily charge your smartphone wirelessly. Unfortunately, the phone must still be in direct contact with the charging work area. Moreover, the imaginary fantasies that the phone will be charged in the distribution zone of the network (Wi-Fi) will have to be postponed. In this review, we will walk you through how wireless charging works and give you tips on a few of the best wireless charging power banks.
How it works?
Wireless mode allows induction energy to be transmitted through the plate to the device in which this function is installed. Now, work in this mode is supported by almost all smartphones of new generations.
To create magnetic induction, it is necessary to press two aligned plates together. One of them is a source that connects to the smartphone’s battery. In this mode, the plate in the phone acts as a receiver. This receiver is directly connected to the battery contacts, which fill the battery with electricity. This is the simplest way to explain the complex work of power transmission using the Qi standard method. Today, this technology is rapidly spreading in all possible public places. In the G7 countries there are already ATMs where you can pay in this way for travel, tickets, food, and so on.
The best portable wireless power bank with low price
The benefits of these gadgets do not negate the fact that this mobile phone energy recovery solution makes the smartphone more expensive.
Baseus Simple Mini Magnetic Magsafe Wireless Charger
This device attaches to the phone by means of magnets. The device is connected to the network via a USB-C cable, which guarantees quick energy recovery of the connected device. The gadget is suitable exclusively for iPhones 12/12 mini / 12 Pro / 12 Pro Max.
The gadget is small and firmly attaches to iPhone 12 and MagSafe compatible cases. The design features of the device make it possible to use the phone while charging without restrictions. In our opinion, this is one of the best wireless power bank in 2021.
|– small size; – fast and safe energy recovery of gadgets; – you can use the phone without restrictions while charging; – attractive appearance; – high assembly reliability.||– not detected.|

The user can easily connect his smartphone to this model, which is automatically connected via a magnet. Charge recovery starts at the moment of connection. This charger is suitable for the 12 series iPhones. This model guarantees high safety of the phone during the charging process, since it has a protection against voltage surges, overheating, short-circuit and overcharging.
|– attractive appearance; – protection against voltage surges in the network; – overheating protection; – you can use your smartphone while charging; – a powerful magnet that holds the phone firmly.||– not found.|
Baseus UFO Desktop Wireless Charger
Quality details and eye-pleasing design make this gadget one of the best portable wireless power bank. A large plate for creating a connection with a smartphone will allow you to charge easily large gadgets with a diagonal of more than 5.5 inches. There is a rubberized strip along the entire area. It prevents the device from sliding over the charging area. Moreover, the extended strip at the bottom minimizes the possibility of the smartphone falling out of the working area.
A good and attractive style will go well with any interior of a room or apartment. The secure fit allows you to use the phone safely even in this state. The efficiency is at a decent level, and is about 70%. This will not be enough for instant charging, as conventional wired devices cope with it. The device connects to any available device, regardless of the operating system.
|– simple and compact device; – high-quality assembly, materials; – connects with any device.||– the main color of the device is white, it gets dirty easily.|

NRA has instructed TEPCO to deal with the radioactive water in the reactor building basements at Fukushima Daiichi. The request included reducing the radioactive contamination in the water and also the volume. The addition of more holding tanks was included in the request. NRA appears to be concerned with contaminated water leaking out of the reactor buildings or being flushed out by a tsunami at the plant. Current ground water levels around the reactor buildings had trended downward but also appeared to be strongly influenced by the amounts of rain at a given time.

The much-hyped ice wall at the crippled Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant has failed to stop groundwater from flowing in and mixing with highly radioactive water inside the wrecked reactor buildings, operator Tokyo Electric Power Co. Holdings Inc. has admitted. Tepco officials also said at a meeting of the Nuclear Regulation Authority in Tokyo that it is not the utility’s ultimate goal to shut out groundwater with the ice wall, which has been built around the four damaged reactor buildings at the plant. Tuesday’s announcement was apparently the first time the utility publicly said it is technically incapable of blocking off groundwater with the frozen wall.

Methods of Proving Triangles Similar - Lesson 8-3
Today, we looked at how to show that two triangles are similar. This is very much like showing that two triangles are congruent (remember SSS, SAS, ASA, AAS?), with the exception that there are only three shortcuts (understanding that AAA~ and AA~ are the same due to the No Choice Theorem):
So AA~, SSS~ and SAS~ work for proving triangle similarity. Now, remember the key thing with similarity is having congruent corresponding angles and proportional corresponding sides. Don't get this confused with proving congruence, where you're looking for congruent corresponding angles and congruent corresponding sides!!

The Backwards Concept of Change (a Poem)
Change is a weird yet wilful concept,
A notion which some consider inept.
Change is something which gets us annoyed,
Yet change is a concept we cannot avoid.
Change is essential for all living things;
A mighty change occurs in the smallest of stings.
Yet what is it that makes us all so afraid,
Of most things we see now soon being decayed?
Is it the fear of leaving behind
The treasures that took us so long to find?
Or is it the fact that we may no longer
Possess the things that make us stronger?
Without change would we remember so strongly Shakespeare?
Or even cavemen, of so much we do hear?
After all, is it not to them we do owe
Today’s attitudes and feelings written in the snow?
A world without change simply would not function,
Without growing old we’d not reach the next junction.
Each wrinkle we acquire proves the existence of change,
Something so amazing yet just out of range.
With a little effort and determination too,
You’ll see what the human really can do,
If you want to change and try to pull through,
Be honest with yourself - what’s stopping you?
Most people see change as a dark, evil cloud,
Hanging over their life like a huge black shroud,
But when things go wrong and you’ve nothing left to say,
You’ll see who steps in to heroically save the day.
Yes, Change is our friend, a shocker, I know,
But really all Change is trying to show
To you, a father or sister or wife,
Is that life is Change and Change is life.

(Keck) Consumers in Vermont can’t buy a plug-in electric car, yet.
But manufacturers like Nissan, Chevrolet and Toyota hope to have plug-in hybrids or all-electric cars on most dealer floors by 2012. In the meantime, automakers are still researching how well the cars work in different environments.
As VPR’s Nina Keck reports, Central Vermont Public Service will be test driving Toyota’s new Prius plug-in to see how the car handles in cold weather.
(Keck) Dan Mackey, fleet coordinator at Central Vermont Public Service, demonstrates how to start the Prius that they’re testing for the next four weeks.
Sound of car
(Mackey) "Okay, I’m turning on the power – it is so quiet – kind of tough to get used to.
(Keck) CVPS is the only test site for the new Prius in Vermont. The new model differs from the existing Prius because the new model can be plugged into an electric outlet to recharge its battery. That’s similar to the technology in the new Chevrolet Volt. But it isn’t currently available on a production Prius.
Toyota is testing the car in a wide range of places and with different agencies, including the New York City Department of Transportation, San Diego Gas and Electric, and Georgetown University.
Dan Mackey at CVPS says it’s a good way to see what consumers think about the car and assess how it performs day to day in various climates.
(Mackey) "I think understanding what kind of impacts on battery longevity the cold and terrain will have is important for Toyota to understand."
(Keck) CVPS’s Steve Costello says testing the car will also provide the utility company with valuable information on how to better meet the needs of its own customers.
(Costello) "This is one more step in our ongoing efforts to really understand what the market is going to offer customers and then how those vehicles will interact with our grid. And so while we’ll provide a lot of info back to Toyota, we’ll get a lot of info out of this, as well."
(Keck) The new Toyota Prius will likely not be available to Vermont consumers until 2012 – and the price has yet to be set.
The Nissan Leaf is all electric. It’s expected to be available to Vermont customers in late 2012. The Chevy Volt will hit Vermont showrooms later this year or next.
But as one Rutland dealer pointed out – the first two Volts are already spoken for. So there’s already demand for the new car.

(FL) – Florida is one of the top ten states in the country for the largest decrease in gas prices over the past week, according to AAA.
The average price for a gallon of regular gas in Florida is $4.55, which is lower than the national average.
Today’s national average of $4.89 is nine cents less than a week ago, 30 cents more than a month ago, and $1.80 more than a year ago.
Despite having a 15-cent decrease in price, Florida is not among the top 10 states with the cheapest gas.
South Carolina leads with $4.30 a gallon gas, Californians are paying the most for gas at $6.24.
The West Palm Beach-Boca Raton is the highest metro area in the state with an average of $4.73.
It is anticipated that fears of global recession have lead to a lower demand for oil and has dropped the price to $107 per barrel.

The cultural currency of creepy encounters.
A woman’s reflection on how women respond to so-called “creepy encounters" with men.
There are three parts to this discussion. All of these points apply to men just as much as to women, but as a woman, I’m speaking from my experiences in the female community.
First, I would like to address a scenario that I cringe at: the over-dramatization of a scene that turns innocent gestures into something creepy or offensive. Often, scenes are just created in the minds of people who are running low on attention.
You know what I’m talking about.
A guy walks up to where your girl friend is picking out some yogurt at the grocery store. She looks at him; he returns the look and casually says, "Hi." with a courteous smile. A few moments later, your girl friend comes over to you with a mock horrified look on her face and a slight giggle in her voice saying, “oh my gosh, that guy over there is so creepy. He keeps following me around and then he tried talking to me super awkwardly and I know for a fact he wasn’t just wanting to talk… ew. So creepy.”
You glance past her at the guy she’s obviously gesturing at. Still in the same isle trying to pick out some milk, he glances up at the commotion and notices other people throughout the store looking at him as well. He is embarrassed and confused and quickly walks away.
This behavior needlessly shames boys and men. It hurts feelings and it results in damaged reputations. Even worse, it takes away from the truly horrifying harassment that women actually experience every single day.
This over-dramatization is really a result of a society that runs off of attention, self-absorption, self-worth issues… I could go on. Without diving into all of that, I’d like to speak to all women: stop doing this. It’s silly and needless. Don’t make something of nothing just to have a story to tell at someone else’s expense. And if your friends do this, stop rewarding them for it.
Here’s the second thing I want to call out: it’s only creepy if a guy you’re not attracted to does it.
Sometimes a man really is trying to make an advance.
He noticed you in the store and pretends to need something near where you are standing. He then glances up and says “Hey, how are you doing?” in a falsely confident tone.
If he's unattractive to you, you freak out, look disgusted and turn away thinking, “creep”.
If you do find him attractive, you shyly smile and say “fine, thanks” and turn away flirtatiously.
It may be an entirely subconscious reaction, but we can try to beat this with conscious actions. If a man puts himself out there in a totally appropriate and reasonable way, we can all react kindly without making him feel like a scumbag for no reason.
Thirdly, and finally, the main point of my discussion:
Sometimes there are experiences that are actually over the line and for all intents and purposes, creepy.
You haven’t talked to the guy in 5 years, ever since you moved away from your home town. But out of the blue, he is constantly messaging you saying strange things like “I need you”, “Can I come see you”, “I’ve always loved you”, “I’m desperate and alone and you’re the only one that can help me”. You tell him you appreciate that, but you just don’t feel the same way, you can’t help him. He persists and eventually his messages escalate.
You are walking down the street and a man steps around the corner, looks you up and down and says, “Hey honey, nice cargo.” You try side-stepping him and he makes a pass at you.
When discussing the uncomfortable or alarming things we’ve gone through with the opposite sex, it isn’t always a sad tale we divulge to our closest friends. It is something that we are almost bragging about while trying to one-up the other person. And others feel bad if they don’t have as crazy or dramatic of a story. They feel devalued.
All people, men and women alike, base their value on the validation they get from others. It’s a sad component of our culture. A specific way this manifests is in the currency of creepy encounters. As women, we feel that if men are giving us attention, we must be attractive and desirable. If a man is acting desperate or unreasonable or praising or body, then we must be even more valued. The currency works with truly sad, real stories and with overly-embellished stories as well. All that matters is that you have had | [

The Widower's Tale is another winnner from author Julia Glass, the author of Three Junes, The Whole World Over and I See You Everywhere. Glass once again turns to the delicate and complicated relationship of families as the subject of this novel. The main character of The Widowers Tale is Percival (Percy) Darling (what a name, right?) a 60-something retired Harvard librarian who is a cranky, odd New Englander. His wife passed away many years ago, leaving him on his own to raise his two young daughters. Although he is very much a part of his adult daughters' lives, his relationship with both of them is fraught under the surface with unsaid things stemming from their mother's death. As the novel begins, Percy has just opened up an old Barn his beautiful property by a pond in a leafy/wealthy/sort of rural suburb of Boston to the local pre-school. The opening of this pre-school sets in motion a series of events that causes trauma to both Percy and his entire family. More about the book and this classic after the jump.
In The Widower's Tale, Julia Glass not only creates interesting characters, she also creates a very recognizable world in which her characters live. One the ways she does this here is by telling the story of the perspectives of very different people - we have Percy, the older waspy New England liberal. His love for his old creaky house and disdain for the new money that has taken over his wealthy suburb is a real "type" in New England. For these types, it is OK to live an exclusive and expensive place when you are not so showy about it, and to be fair, Percy and his wife were not rolling in dough - he was a librarian and she taught dance classes. But there is no question their life of privilege enabled them to live in the desirable Matlock. The story is also told from the perspective of Ira - a gay man who teaches at the school that takes over Percy's barn (Elves and Fairies). Elves and Fairies (could the name be any more precious) is a thoroughly modern pre-school where the children are treated like kings, encouraged to express their creativity and generally exalted. Ira lives in a town nearby which is much rougher than Matlock but is gentrifying, creating a mix of the urban poor and the urban hipster. Ira is somewhat uncomfortable in his own skin, but loves his job as a teacher and along with the two other characters whose perspective shapes thebook, helps the children build a fanciful tree house in Percy's favorite tree. Next up is Celestino, a Central American laborer who works for the landscaping company that handles the lawns of Matlock residents. At first it is easy to put Celestino in a stereotypical box, but his story is very complicated. He came to the Boston area as a teenager, the guest of an egotistical Harvard archeologist who sponsors his studies in the U.S. after Celestino and his father helped the Professor during his archeological digs in Celestino's village. Celestino attends high school in the U.S. then returns to attend Harvard, living with the family. Inevitably he falls in love with the Professor's daughter, is caught in a comprimising position, and is thrown out of the house. He runs away to NY, returning several years later to Matlock and despite his education works as a landscaper, one of a large team of Central American laborers who work for a local Matlock man. From Celestino's and Ira's perspective we see Matlock through the eyes of an outsider. Lastly, the story is told from the perspective of Percy's grandson Robert - an affable, intelligent Harvard student. Percy and Robert are very close and their relationship with each other make both of the characters more likable. It is interesting that Glass, a woman, writes the book from the perspective of four male characters. I found the female characters less likable and interesting - perhaps because we only see them through male eyes. Percy's two daughters - Trudy and Clover, are difficult in their own ways - Trudy is a hyper capable oncologist - the most sought after in the Boston area, but she is cold with her family and too efficient. She also clearly blames her father for her mother's death. Clover is the opposite - a mess, she had some sort of breakdown and ran away from her husband and two kids in NY and came to live in Matlock without much purpose. She gets a job with Elves and Fairies and this is why Percy lets the school use his barn - to give his daughter what she wants. The other main female character is Sarah, a somewhat older single mother of a student at Elves and Fairies. Percy meets her when he is buying some swing trucks (he previously swam | [

The team at Aussie Trenchless is passionate about progressing future infrastructure opportunities and accomplishing superior outcomes.
Headquartered in New South Wales, Director Chris Meredith and the team are committed to pioneering state-of-the-art solutions and furthering businesses in the trenchless industry.
Founded in 2014, the company offers a range of unique products in Australia and internationally.
Pipe Segment Technology (PST) is an innovative new lining system, offering a range of benefits including fast installation, construction from transparent material and suitability for live loads, such as culverts under road and rail networks.
Aussie Trenchless’ Pipe Segment Technology is a segmental pipe rehabilitation system specifically designed for traversable trunk sewers, stormwater culverts and maintenance holes.
Pipe lining technologies have the capacity to substantially increase the service life of pipes, and this method is ideal for man entry pipeline rehabilitation for gravity sewer mains.
“The process is cost effective is simple to use, while also maintaining a small site footprint,” says Meredith.
“The PST grouting process will treat external soil void issues as an inherent part of the rehabilitation process.”
Currently, Aussie Trenchless is undertaking a pilot project for a client that will utilise PST for maintenance holes.
“The pilot project is south of Sydney as there are some poor condition catchments causing overflow issues at pump stations,” says Meredith.
“The pilot will trial the PST in one manhole and monitor the performance over some time before rolling the maintenance hole refurbishment program out.”
Meredith says PST has not been used to rehabilitate a manhole before, as it hasn’t been adapted for maintenance hole lining until now.
“What makes this PST unique is that you can access the maintenance hole and complete all work through its existing lid as well as seal all maintenance hole wall faults using a high flow cementitious grout,” he says.
“It is also possible to fill external voids in the soil matrix and seal the maintenance hole bench areas as the grout exfiltrates out through the maintenance hole walls.”
Meredith says the maintenance hole will be two metres deep, with an inside diameter of 1200 millimetres.
Works are expected to be completed by April 2022.
PST lining panels are made of polypropylene material, providing a smooth surface with effective hydraulic performance capacities.
Meredith says PST panels are lightweight, easy to install, and ideal for positioning in tight locations, with the product suitable for all pipe types, including round, ovoid and box culverts.
Lining segments reflect the shape of the host pipe and therefore can be both circular and non-circular. Lining of access chambers can also be achieved using PST segments.
The ring stiffness of PST can be enhanced or altered by attaching circumferential bars, making the product suitable for installing in deep sewers.
The technology does not require advanced installation machinery and has been used to rehabilitate deteriorated stormwater and sewer culverts.
Aussie Trenchless’ Pipe Segment Technology will be on full display at the No-Dig Down Under Exhibition in March 2022.

CefprozilDosage Form: Suspension
To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the effectiveness of Cefprozil for oral suspension and other antibacterial drugs, Cefprozil for oral suspension should be used only to treat or prevent infections that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by bacteria.
Cefprozil is a semi-synthetic broad-spectrum cephalosporin antibiotic.
Cefprozil is a cis and trans isomeric mixture (≥ 90% cis). The chemical name for the monohydrate is (6R,7R)-7-[(R)-2-amino-2-(p-hydroxyphenyl)acetamido]-8-oxo-3-propenyl-5-thia-1-azabicyclo [4.2.0]oct-2-ene-2-carboxylic acid monohydrate, and the structural formula is:
C18H19N3O5S•H2O M.W. 407.45
Cefprozil is a white to yellowish powder.
Cefprozil for oral suspension USP is intended for oral administration.
Cefprozil for oral suspension USP contains Cefprozil equivalent to 125 mg or 250 mg anhydrous Cefprozil per 5 mL constituted suspension. In addition, the oral suspension contains the following inactive ingredients: aspartame, FD&C Red No. 3, flavors (natural and artificial) gum fruit, glycine, hypromellose, microcrystalline cellulose/carboxymethylcellulose sodium, silicon dioxide, sodium benzoate, sodium chloride, and sucrose.
Cefprozil - Clinical Pharmacology
The pharmacokinetic data were derived from the capsule formulation; however, bioequivalence has been demonstrated for the oral solution, capsule, tablet, and suspension formulations under fasting conditions.
Following oral administration of Cefprozil to fasting subjects, approximately 95% of the dose was absorbed. The average plasma half-life in normal subjects was 1.3 hours, while the steady state volume of distribution was estimated to be 0.23 L/kg. The total body clearance and renal clearance rates were approximately 3 mL/min/kg and 2.3 mL/min/kg, respectively.
Average peak plasma concentrations after administration of 250 mg, 500 mg, or 1 g doses of Cefprozil to fasting subjects were approximately 6.1, 10.5, and 18.3 mcg/mL, respectively, and were obtained within 1.5 hours after dosing. Urinary recovery accounted for approximately 60% of the administered dose. (See Table.)
During the first 4 hour period after drug administration, the average urine concentrations following 250 mg, 500 mg, and 1 g doses were approximately 700 mcg/mL, 1000 mcg/mL, and 2900 mcg/mL, respectively.
Administration of Cefprozil with food did not affect the extent of absorption (AUC) or the peak plasma concentration (Cmax) of cefprozil. However, there was an increase of 0.25 to 0.75 hours in the time to maximum plasma concentration of Cefprozil (Tmax).
The bioavailability of the capsule formulation of Cefprozil was not affected when administered 5 minutes following an antacid.
Plasma protein binding is approximately 36% and is independent of concentration in the range of 2 mcg/mL to 20 mcg/mL.
There was no evidence of accumulation of Cefprozil in the plasma in individuals with normal renal function following multiple oral doses of up to 1000 mg every 8 hours for 10 days.
In patients with reduced renal function, the plasma half-life may be prolonged up to 5.2 hours depending on the degree of the renal dysfunction. In patients with complete absence of renal function, the plasma half-life of Cefprozil has been shown to be as long as 5.9 hours. The half-life is shortened during hemodialysis. Excretion pathways in patients with markedly impaired renal function have not been determined. (See PRECAUTIONS and DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION.)
In patients with impaired hepatic function, the half-life increases to approximately 2 hours. The magnitude of the changes does not warrant a dosage adjustment for patients with impaired hepatic function.

The primary purpose of a hydraulic pump is to pressurize hydraulic fluid in order to operate machinery. This can be anything from farm equipment to aircraft parts. A hydraulic pump can either send fresh fluid through it, known as an open loop system or used fluid which would be known as a closed loop system. Each have their own operational purposes depending on the application or the job that is required to be done.
Although there are a variety of hydraulic pumps available for just about any industrial operation, below are two distinct types of pumps.
Fixed Displacement Hydraulic Pump
More limited to its applications then other hydraulic pumps, this less expensive and simplistic pump maintains a set flow of fluid through the pump. The most basic being a gear pump which sends the pressurized fluid through a set of gears and through the outlet running the basics of machines. Using a set of Archimedes spirals instead of gears, the fluid picks up good pressure as it flows through rotating screws. This allows for a higher flow rate of fluid at a low pressure.
Variable Displacement Hydraulic Pump
Being able to control the rate of flow and the outlet pressure allows this pump to offer a variable drive. It also makes them a little more complex and expensive due to this capability.
Other Higher Efficiency Pumps
Best suited for middle range pressure are the rotary vane hydraulic pumps. Here, pressure is increased from the use of concentric, offset vanes. This is where the working fluid is forced into smaller volumes increasing that pressure. The bent-axis piston and cylinder designed hydraulic pump is most likely the best when it comes to efficiency and output. Built similar to that of a vehicles piston and cylinder engine, it can run at high pressure while maintaining the desired efficiency. Using two cylinders per piston, the double action design of this pump can certainly up the throughput.
Hydraulic pumps are such a versatile piece of equipment. They are available in a large variety of designs for just about every budget and application. Many models can even be paired up to increase output if necessary. With a hydraulic pump, there is no doubt you will get the job done. | [

Americans cannot wait until August 21st when they will be witnessing the amazing experience of a full solar eclipse which will be visible from Oregon to South Carolina. The other U.S. states will be able to see the eclipse only partially.
During a solar eclipse, the moon passes between Earth and the sun and blocks the view to the sun from the planet. In a full eclipse, the solar disk is covered completely by the moon. Eclipses in general are not so rare, but the view of a full eclipse is quite spectacular, as they occur over longer periods of time in the same place.
Americans are looking forward to the event
This upcoming astronomic phenomenon has been dubbed as the “Great American Eclipse”. It has gathered so much interest and excitement since this is the first time in 99 years when a full eclipse is visible again on the territory of the United States. Thus, most Americans find it full of significance.
Americans will have the experience of their lifetime, as the sun will be blocked for an hour and a half. People have already started a countdown until the time of the eclipse, and have organized special viewing events. The Southern Illinois University has prepared a special weekend in Carbondale, Illinois, which is one of the best spots where you can view the eclipse.
Special events celebrate the eclipse
The Adler Planetarium wants to get people “in the mood” for the eclipse. They came up with the idea of an exhibition called “Chasing Eclipses”, which aims to familiarize people with the history of the eclipses and other celestial events. Also, people can study artifacts and learn how to make their own tools for eclipse viewing.
Even NASA would live broadcast the event, making astronomers and scientists think that this would be the most celebrated eclipse in history. They suggest that it will gather the biggest audience that has ever witnessed a cosmic phenomenon. The next solar eclipse will occur in 2024, but Chicago will be able to see a full event again in 2099.
Everybody is looking forward to the event, but you should keep in mind to take all the necessary protection measures. Do not look at the sun directly, as the ultraviolet radiation can cause permanent damage to the eye and even blindness. Wear special glasses or use a pinhole projector and enjoy the breathtaking view.

The Cyanotype is a historic photographic printing process, which has made a resurgence in this digital age. Known for its deep Prussian blue color, the cyanotype can be toned with simple ingredients to achieve a variety of colors. It is a non-toxic process using sunlight to make a print and water to develop the image, and the simplicity of this process allows for more play and investigation. Like most artistic adventures, one can start with the basics and then explore and build upon different methods, techniques, even substrates.
Linda Bryan has been infatuated with photography from the moment she first saw an image slowly appearing in the tray of a black and white Photo One class in college. Bryan has earned a BFA in Studio Arts From Northern Vermont University – Johnson and an MFA in Photography from the Academy of Arts University, San Francisco. Bryan has taught digital and darkroom photography at Northern Vermont University – Lyndon, Community College of Vermont, as well as cyanotype workshops through local art centers and at her studio.
Bryan will be teaching Cyanotype workshops at AVA this summer. | [

Most of these systems have two or three planets. One however, may have as many as nine. HD 10180, a star just 127 light years from Earth, was observed with the HARPS spectrograph. Despite being a large system, HD 10180 bears little resemblance to our Solar System. The innermost planet, designated HD 10180b has a minimum mass 1.4 times that of Earth. Remarkably, the planet orbits in only 1.1 days. Far from hospitable, the surface temperature is likely seven times that of Mercury.
Planets c, d, e, f, g, and h are all gas planets, with minimum masses ranging from 13 times that of Earth to 66. Although the giant worlds themselves may be uninhabitable, planets g resides in the habitable zone of the star. Therefore, any moons of this planet would be able to support liquid water on the surface. Of course, other factors, such as atmospheric density and the presence of a magnetosphere, play a role in the habitability of a planet. Still, an exomoon of planet g could offer the best case for habitability in the system. Such a body would be undetectable with current observational capabilities, but is certainly an interesting future prospect. | [

This change is motivated by the policy for “inclusion” of children with difficulties into mainstream schools. Equal access for children with physical handicaps into mainstream school should be to the benefit of all, however this policy may not, in particular, benefit children with learning difficulties.
Craighead school is not a Victorian institution, based on segregation of handicapped children, but a progressive school that has developed an expertise in effectively educating and integrating children into the community for the last 60 years. This will be diluted into smaller uncoordinated units, attached to mainstream schools.
