Subterfuge [official site] isn't a PC game, but it looks like one, plays like one, and is heavily inspired by one. I've just finished my first game of it, and I think it's better than Neptune's Pride for a number of reasons. Not least of which is that it's an experience I had which ended up guilt-free.
If you're not familiar, Subterfuge is a multiplayer strategy game in which you and up to nine other people fight for control of a iconographic map of outposts. The outposts can be factories, generators or mines, and you capture them by inhabiting or attacking them with submarines full of 'drillers'. Battles play out unseen as you view everything as icons, seeing only movement orders and numbers changing. Most remarkably: the distance between outposts is vast, and the time to travel between them measured in hours and days, not minutes. My match took over ten days to complete.
Swap "submarines" for "spaceships" and everything above could also be said about Neptune's Pride, Subterfuge's close ancestor. Jay Kyburz, creator of that game, has given his blessing to Subterfuge, which is a good thing as otherwise the similarities might be uncomfortable. One of the randomly positioned outposts is called 'Kyburz' in each game, which is one of two ways he's honoured by the game's fiction.
The second is one of the ways the game improves over its inspiration: Neptunium. When I played Neptune's Pride, the only way to win the game was via territorial control. By conquering the majority of the map - 60 or 70%, I think - you were declared the victor. This meant that in a game of eight players, it was all but guaranteed that you would have to go to war with four or five people if you wanted to have any chance of winning.
You couldn't fight everyone at once, and you couldn't fight them consecutively as your forces would become depleted, and so by necessity you formed alliances. Neptune's Pride was a game about politicking, one which took place via in- and out-of-game message systems as much as it did on the actual board of play. You made promises and formed alliances against other players, sometimes simply to delay the point when you would have to fight those people. In other words: you made alliances knowing you'd have to break them in order to win. It was a game about betrayal - or subterfuge, if you prefer.
Subterfuge, perhaps ironically, is less a game about betrayal. If you've read our Neptune's Pride diary, or at least it's ending, you'll see it ended in a shamefest. I didn't want a repeat of that. Notably, none of my friends did either: I'd not played with most of them, they'd had their own experiences, and were consequently wary to return. And so my thought was: can I play Subterfuge and, while likely still attacking people, at least not betray anyone? Any alliance I made, I would honour to the end of the game assuming the other players did the same. If I had the intent of invading someone, and they asked me for a favour, then I would say no.
Neptunium is the first reason why I (mostly) succeeded at this. You win the game by gathering 200 of the resource, and the resource is gathered via mines. You can build a mine at any Generator or Factory outpost. The first costs 50 drillers, the second 100, the third 200, the third 300, and so on. It then produces 2 Neptunium per day for every outpost you control.
This means that there is not the same need to gather all the territory the ocean world contains. You could instead gather a small number of outposts - ten or eleven can be comfortably claimed without stealing from other players - and then use your drillers to defend and build mines in order to win.
It's clever. It's nicer.
The second reason a no-betrayal playthrough seems possible is the Specialists. Fights in Neptune's Pride were won purely through greater numbers. If you attacked with 40 units and their outpost had 30 units then, assuming no shields, the outpost was yours. You could do the math. Subterfuge does the math for you, even, letting you wind time forward to see the (expected) outcome of any decision before you commit to it.
Specailists are individual units which each player can hire using recruitment points, which are gained at a rate of one every 18 hours. You always have a choice from a selection of three. Examples include the Thief, who switches 15% of drillers in any combat encounter to your side during a fight; the Sab | [

In this study, the authors investigate the effect of GCM spatial resolution on modeled precipitation over Europe. The objectives of the analysis are to determine whether climate models have sufficient spatial resolution to have an accurate representation of the storm tracks that affect precipitation. They investigate if there is a significant statistical difference in modeled precipitation between a medium-resolution (~112-km horizontal resolution) and a high-resolution (~25-km horizontal resolution) version of a state-of-the-art AGCM (EC-EARTH), if either model resolution gives a better representation of precipitation in the current climate, and what processes are responsible for the differences in modeled precipitation. The authors find that the high-resolution model gives a more accurate representation of northern and central European winter precipitation. The medium-resolution model has a larger positive bias in precipitation in most of the northern half of Europe. Storm tracks are better simulated in the high-resolution model, providing for a more accurate horizontal moisture transport and moisture convergence. Using a decomposition of the precipitation difference between the medium- and high-resolution model in a part related and a part unrelated to a difference in the distribution of vertical atmospheric velocity, the authors find that the smaller precipitation bias in central and northern Europe is largely unrelated to a difference in vertical velocity distribution. The smaller precipitation amount in these areas is in agreement with less moisture transport over this area in the high-resolution model. In areas with orography the change in vertical velocity distribution is found to be more important.

Cast & Crew
After a prologue depicting Adam and Eve's expulsion from the Garden of Eden, Eva Stanley arrives home from college to find her mother engrossed in rescue work for wayward girls. When Eva's sweetheart, John Gilbert, goes West on a government commission, she finds herself lonely and neglected. In her vulnerable state, Eva is lured onto the yacht of Leo Spencer, the ne'er-do-well brother of the district attorney, who drugs and seduces the girl. Returning from the West, John learns that Eva is pregnant and prevails upon a physician friend to perform an abortion. The surgery is a success, but the district attorney learns of the illegal surgery and brings John and the doctor to the trial. To save Eva's reputation, the two men plead guilty, but the truth is finally revealed and Spencer is made to pay for his wrongdoing. John is then pardoned and begins a new life with Eva.

This was the first production of the Corona Cinema Co. According to a news item, the film was going to be shown to the trade in New York at the end of May 1917. It was reviewed in October 1917, and appeared in release charts as a state rights release at that time. Lloyd Carleton Productions acquired it in 1918; Carleton edited the film and released a new version entitled Mother, I Need You to the state rights market through Ernest Shipman in September 1918. Reviews for the edited version do not specify that Eva's operation is an abortion. Scenes for the Garden of Eden prologue were filmed on the Santa Cruz Islands off the coast of Southern California. | [

GEDDES, N.Y. -- As work continues to clean up Onondaga Lake, volunteers are also working to improve the land that surrounds it. The Onondaga Lake Conservation Corps organized its inaugural stewardship event on Saturday.
Volunteers came out to work at the Geddes Brook wetlands. They planted native shrubs and plants with the goal of transforming the area into a wildlife habitat. Organizers said that will also help protect Onondaga Lake.
"We're creating a sinuous channel and flood plains that will actually allow the first flush of storm water coming off all the parking lots and all the surrounding areas and retain that. So, what we do, is we slow that water down, that water has lots of nutrients in it, it helps us grow this wetland, but it also reduces the storm water impact on the lake," explained Jeremy Neumann, landscape architect.
Future events are planned for August 11 and sometime in September. For more information, you can visit lakecleanup.com. | [

A Capital Contribution Fund of at least $10 million to support local projects will be made available to the final host community. For this the Government will ask community members to put forward project ideas.
The Government has deliberately not sought to specify the nature or range of possible projects that may be eligible to recognise all communities are unique with different priorities and needs.
A committee with representatives from the State Government and at least three members resident in that state who have expertise in education, infrastructure and health will advise the Minister when administering the fund.
Other community support will include significant supporting infrastructure needed to support the facility, such as access to a stable and reliable communication system, including mobile phone reception and broadband internet. Roads may need to be upgraded to a suitable load standard. | [

My son turned to me with a wide-eyed, shocked grin on his face as he recognized a surprising twist in the story he was reading. Just seeing him make that connection and seeing his sweet smile filled my heart with joy and gratitude. The moment was so small, yet so significant in my day. I was caught off guard that I noticed it, and it reminded me that I had been missing the little things.
Our world is filled with the constant reminders of death, disease, and political disaster. Many of us are on edge, anticipating what might come next. When we focus on the storms surrounding us, we sometimes forget to see the beauty in front of us. If there is one thing that I have learned recently, it is that control does not equal joy. Even though we are not in control of what is happening in the world right now, we are not deprived of joy, though we may miss it. The lack of control may cause us a lot of anxiety, but we cannot let that steal our joy in our daily moments. Psalm 94:19 says, “When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me joy.” God is in control and can console us in our anxiety. We are connected to the one who holds it all in His hands so we can cease striving and see the work of His hands in little joys all around us.
What would our days look like if we focused on the small joyful moments instead of what is beyond our control? Take notice of the little things like the sunrise peeking over the mountain top, your kids singing loudly and off-key, or when your spouse starts your car on these cold winter days. Praise Him for it all. Fill your thoughts with your daily blessings. Paul says in Phillipians 4:8, “Finally brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable- if there is any moral excellence and if there is anything praiseworthy- dwell on these things.” Find moments in your day that are praiseworthy and give God the glory. A shift in our thinking will bring us great joy in Jesus and light to those around us.

Two shrub rose varieties from Novalis, “Double Knock Out” and “Pink Double Knock Out,” have been recognized for top industry awards. The roses are part of Plants That Work, a national, consumer plant brand from Novalis.
The “Pink Double Knock Out” won Best New Plant by NMPro Magazine’s 2007 New Plant Pavilion, an award determined by a majority vote by comparing the 38 plants from 17 participating companies at the 2007 American Nursery and Landscape Association’s Management Clinic in Louisville, Kentucky.
The “Double Knock Out” rose has received recognition as a top new variety by the American Rose Society’s “2006 Roses In Review” report. The rose also received an 8.4 garden rating among competitive roses in the Top Ten Big Roses category, the highest rating in the group.
“Superior breeding and excellence in garden performance make the ‘Double Knock Out’ and ‘Pink Double Knock Out’ clear choices for home gardeners across the country,” says J. Guy, manager of Novalis. “The Novalis commitment to bring high-quality, reliable plant material to consumers can be seen in both of these steadfast roses.”
According to Novalis, the “Double Knock Out” offers double, rich, full cherry-red blooms from early June to hard frost. The “Pink Double Knock Out” shows double, hot-pink flowers that do not require deadheading. Both grow in full sun to reach 4 feet high and wide. The roses are disease and pest resistant and are hardy in USDA Hardiness Zones 4-9. | [

Image via WikipediaOne of my favorite comic heroes from my youth was Iron Man. As a billionaire playboy arms dealer with an incredible imagination and the means to make it manifest, Tony Stark struck a chord with me. He wasn’t strong, or imbued with mutant powers. He was rich, and smart, and built a super suit that he then used to kick butt. As a young ‘un, I have to admit that if I had to chose between Batman and Iron Man, I would pick Iron Man simply because he had such cool gear.
I can’t wait to see this movie in May. | [

An approved operational plan is the legal description under which an EMS provider operates. EMT-Intermediate and EMT-Paramedic ambulance service providers have long been required to develop and submit an operational plan for license approval. Changes to Chapter DHS 110, Wisconsin Administrative Code mandate that all ambulance service and first responder providers in Wisconsin are required to develop and submit an operational plan to the Department of Health Services (DHS). The requirements for the operational plan can be found in Chapters DHS 110 Wisconsin Administrative Code.
Before operating an EMS service, a county, city, town, village, prospective or licensed EMS service provider, hospital or any combination of these must first submit an operational plan for DHS review and approval. The approval of this plan is a prerequisite to initiation of EMS service in Wisconsin. Any changes to the plan must also be submitted to the EMS Section and approved in writing and existing plans must be reviewed at least once every two years.
To assist the ambulance providers in Wisconsin to meet the plan requirements, an operational plan template has been developed. The template includes all plan components required by administrative code. The plan (effective 2/2006) consists of two parts. The first part, form F-47463, is a multi-page document that provides a sort of inventory of the ambulance service. The form includes instructions for completion and submission to the Wisconsin EMS Section.
The second part is a listing of required plan components. While some operational plan components are standard, some vary with the level of service being provided. Specific operational plan components for each level are listed as parts A, B, C, D and E of the application form. Complete the operational plan form and continue with your plan by identifying the level of care your service will offer and responding to the plan components identified for that level. Both the form F-47463 and your responses to the operational plan component outline for your level of service are required as part of the EMS Service Operational Plan.

Lying by the pool isn’t everybody’s cup of tea when looking to book their cheap holidays, so for those of you looking for something a bit more action-packed then take a look at five of the best hiking destinations in Europe. Each of these inspiring landscapes has something to impress the most discerning walker.
THE SAKLIKENT CANYON, TURKEY
The Muğla province is where you’ll find some of the best trails in this country. The Saklikent Canyon is one of the deepest of its kind in the world, running 18 km across and 300 m deep. Although you’ll only be able to walk 4 km of it, you can reach some dizzying heights.
Plenty of tourist operators provided guided tours or equipment rental. Hard hats are advised, especially after long rains when falling rocks can be a hazard. Don’t let this put you off, it’s a beautifully scenic route with stunning rock formations and white water rapids.
THE TIMANFAYA NATIONAL PARK, LANZAROTE
With a rugged terrain and endless coastline, the Timanfaya National Park is home to the Fire Mountains and offers something for walkers of all abilities.
Declared as a place of outstanding natural beauty, this volcanic landscape makes for a challenging but rewarding walk. With year round sunshine, this remains a trusted destination for fans of the outdoors. If in the unlikely event it does rain, head to Cueva de Los Verdes – one of the largest volcanic galleries in the world. This 2 km underground trek is safe for the whole family and makes for a spectacular walk.
THE WHITE MOUNTAINS, CRETE
This Greek Island offers some of the finest gorge hiking in the world. The Southwest coast is home to the White Mountains, that reach heights of 2000 meters.
Samaria gorge is one of the most impressive walks. It’s a remote location, requiring a bus journey and ferry trip. But this national park is certainly worth travelling for. You’ll descend down steep steps from high altitudes to the pine forests at the bottom.
MATKA CANYON, MACEDONIA
Take a forty-minute bus journey from the capital city Skopje and you’ll reach this nature lover’s paradise. Matka Canyon welcomes tourists and locals alike with beautiful restaurants and accommodation to suit all budgets.
Starting at Lake Matka you can begin a trek deep into the gorge, passing historic monasteries and caves on the way. It can get a little frightening when the handrail disappears, but it’s generally a very relaxing journey. There’s also an array of activities for the more adventurous such as canoeing, caving and bird watching.
THE CORFU TRAIL, CORFU
With a glorious climate, you can expect perfect conditions throughout the whole year.
Walking through olive forests provides that all important shade on those sunny days. Serious hikers should consider taking the famed Corfu Trail which starts at the seaside village, Kavos and finishes at the highest point on the island, Pantokratoras. Taking approximately ten days, you’ll pass sleepy villages and crystal clear lagoons.
With so many cheap holidays to Europe, there has never been a better time to book a hiking adventure.

When we discuss green design, we usually think of building buildings which have been environmentally friendly. The built environment is responsible for forty percent of all waste, and 50 % of all greenhouse gas emissions happen to be generated during the construction procedure. Moreover, by 2050, the world’s inhabitants will reach 9. 6th billion, that may mean we’re going need the healthy resources of three equivalent planets to sustain our lifestyle. Thus, green design is a technique for design that takes environmental concerns into consideration as well as the long term prospects on the buildings which we build.
A good way to promote green design durability is to design and style products which can be disassembled and recycled. This can be a way to encourage recycling and repair, and it also helps enhance the circular economy, which is based upon the principles of green design and style. This approach is normally gaining popularity among consumers, and it is becoming more important than ever for your business to take action to guard the planet.
Another important aspect of green design may be the use of sustainable materials and sustainable techniques. By choosing resources that are green and productive, a building can use a lesser amount of energy and reduce its carbon footprint. Also, it can reduce the costs affiliated with energy bills. For example, abundanceinbalance.com/benefits-of-eco-friendly-design/ solar power can reduce a building’s energy requirements by thousands of dollars over the lifetime. | [

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson met French President Emmanuel Macron on Thursday. Following are key Johnson quotes when he spoke alongside Macron just after his arrival:
“I want to be clear to you Emmanuel, to the French people, that of course I want a deal and I think that we can get a deal and a good deal. I was powerfully encouraged by our conversations last night in Berlin with our mutual friends and I know that with energy and with creativity and with application we can find a way forward for all our businesses and our citizens.
“It is vital for trust in politics that if you have a referendum then you should act on the instructions of the voters and that is why we must come out of the EU on October 31, deal or no deal, and then of course we can take our relationship forward.
“Let’s get Brexit done, let’s get it done sensibly and pragmatically and in the interests of both sides and let’s not wait until October 31. Let’s get on now in deepening and intensifying the friendship and partnership between us.
“When you look at the border with Northern Ireland … under no circumstances will the UK government be instituting, imposing, checks or controls of any kind at that border.
“We think there are ways of protecting the integrity of the single market and allowing the UK to exit from the EU, all and entire and perfect as it were.
“It was very interesting to hear some of positive noises that we’re now hearing about the ways that can be done. We look forward to developing those thoughts in the next few weeks.
“She (Merkel) said if we can do this in two years then we can do this in 30 days and I admire that ‘can-do’ spirit that she seemed to have and I think she is right. I think that the technical solutions are readily available and they have been discussed at great length.
“You can have trusted-trader schemes, you can have electronic pre-clearing for goods moving across the border and I just want to repeat one crucial thing, under no circumstances will the UK be putting checks at the frontier. We don’t think it is necessary from the point of view of the EU to do that to protect the integrity of the single market, we think there are other ways of doing that. We have got I think adequate time to do it, let’s get on and do it.
“A great deal of work has already been done to ensure that the transition on October 31 is as smooth as it possibly can be and so there are already agreements on aviation, on financial services, many other sectors and what we want to do in the next 71 days or whatever is remaining, we want to make sure we do all the necessary work on both sides of the Channel to make sure that whether we get an agreement or not our exit is as smooth and pain-free as possible for citizens and businesses on both sides.” | [

The new network, initially available in the East and West Coast markets, uses Qualcomm's CDMA2000 1X technology and touts always-on high-speed Internet connectivity. Eventually the network will support full Internet browsing, streaming video, email, and more advanced applications including games. Users should expect average data speeds between 40-60 kbps -- comparable to a PC using using dial-up Internet service at home. The network is available now to about 20% of its customer base, mostly on the East and West Coasts.
Sprint will launch its own service this summer, also based on the Qualcomm technology. AT&T Wireless and Cingular are in a joint venture to roll out a network based on an older technology, GSM (Global Systems for Mobile Communications) this year, which will roll out in Q1 2003. | [

Goalkeeper David de Gea has reportedly finally signed a new contract with Manchester United that will make him the club's best-paid player.
The Red Devils have been looking to tie the 28-year-old down to a new deal for months, with Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus all showing an interest in signing the Spaniard during the summer.
According to the Daily Record, the new deal will see the former Atletico Madrid stopper pick up £13.3m per season after tax, taking him past Paul Pogba as the highest earner at Old Trafford.
The report also states that de Gea's new contract is a four-year one, with the option of a fifth.
Since joining from Atletico in 2011, the Madrid native has made 366 appearances for United in all competitions and been named in the Premier League team of the season on five separate occasions.body check tags :: | [

The Government of Victoria in Australia has announced plans to replace the old signalling systems between Richmond and Camberwell line in order to reduce maintenance requirements and provide reliable and safe services for passengers.
Work on the project is scheduled to begin later this week and will be carried out by a team of more than 200 workers over a six-day period.
The A$42m ($32m) upgrade initiative will see the replacement of signalling infrastructure and upgrades to the power supply along the corridor, which will bring the line’s technology up to standard with the broader metropolitan network.
A major construction programme is scheduled to be conducted over the next two months on Melbourne’s road and rail network following the project’s completion.
Victoria Minister for Public Transport Jacinta Allan said: “We’ll have 200 workers delivering much-needed upgrades around the clock to upgrade decades-old signalling infrastructure between Richmond and Camberwell.
“We’re getting it done, delivering vital improvements to our public transport system to get Victorians home safely and sooner.”

The Government of Victoria intends to run additional busses along sections of the Belgrave, Lilydale, Alamein and Glen Waverley lines during the construction period in an effort to minimise the impact on daily services.
It also recently announced plans to open the new Southland Station, which is anticipated to provide better access to one of the largest shopping precincts in Melbourne, as well as reduce traffic congestion in the area.
The new station features ramp and stair access to both platforms, accessible toilets and CCTV security systems, as well as bicycle hoops in the precinct.
It is expected to be used by more than 4,400 passengers daily once fully operational. | [

We came from Pennsylvania and were recommended by one of the locals. To start we had grape leaves and dates stuffed with goat cheese and wrapped in bacon. Both were delicious, but the dates were AMAZING!!! For dinner I had the vegetarian platter and my husband had eggplant mousaka. The entrees were good as well!!! We can't wait to come back and eat here again! Also the atmosphere was cool- we sat on the floor in the beautiful tent room.

SOA is a small size nonlinear amplifier
that offers advantages to be integrated to produce a subsequent system essential in optical communication system.
Active tuners are preferred because many classes of nonlinear amplifier
operation ideally require a reflection coefficient of 1.0 at harmonic frequencies.
The transfer function of a weakly nonlinear amplifier
can be expressed in a Taylor series form as
Sidelobes are the result of the spectrum regrowth when a digitally modulated signal is applied to the input of a nonlinear amplifier
. IM products are the result of the creation of additional products when sinusoidal (CW) signals are applied to the input of the same amplifier.
VSS behavioral models have also been extended and the software now uses a seventh-degree model for a nonlinear amplifier
, which includes noise as well.
In a weak nonlinear amplifier
, the input and output voltages can be expressed using a power series.
For experimental validation, the estimated CIR is compared to measured results of the output signal CIR of a 1.9 GHz nonlinear amplifier
fed by a CDMA signal over a range of power levels.
If a desired carrier signal and band limited noise is applied to the input of a nonlinear amplifier
, as shown in Figure S1, then transmit band noise will be folded around the carrier frequency.
Spectral analysis has been performed on both the ideal modulator output and the nonlinear amplifier
Intermodulation results when two signals separated in frequency by f are input simultaneously to a nonlinear amplifier
. The output of that amplifier will be the amplified signals at the two frequencies plus intermodulation products.
The digital waveform input allows a variety of measurements, including single tone and two tone and a variety of more complex modulations, which can display the trade-offs between nonlinear amplifier
operation and communications system parameters.

A lot of people will tell you that summer is not the best period to visit Sicily. During the months of July and August the temperature is quite high and the touristic destinations could be really crowded, it’s true. However there are not just cons in spending summertime in Sicily: let us tell you about some bright sides. First of all you have the chance to treat yourself booking one of the best self catering villas with pool in Sicily. Spending your holiday surrounded by comfort and nature is priceless.
Summertime in Sicily is when you can taste its delicious fresh typical products – and you are completely entitled to do so: ice cream here is really good, with plenty of different flavors from the most classic (chocolate, pistachio, cream) to the most uncommon ones (jasmine and almonds above all). Freshen up with local fruit as well: peaches, apricots, watermelon, cantaloupe… all these products come from the inland and are so delicious that you’ll feel like you’re eating sweets! Don’t forget to taste “granita” as well: in the Messina and Catania area, the most famous one is the mulberry flavor, often served for breakfast with a brioche and an espresso coffee. The western area offers you the “gelo di melone” (most famous in Palermo) made with watermelon, sugar, jasmine and chocolate: a really fresh dessert to eat in the hottest hours of the day. These delicious products can be found also in the little islands around Sicily (Pantelleria, Lampedusa, the Aegadians and so on). Choosing to rent a holiday villa in Sicily with pool can be the best way to stay away from the crowds, and live for a few days in an oasis far from the city center. Well, of course you can plan as many day trips as you want to visit the wonderful Palermo, or Trapani, Catania or Siracusa: during summer, you’ll be able to visit the wonders of these destinations without the usual traffic and crowd, since the most part of the inhabitants go on holiday or move to their holiday houses near the sea or in the countryside. Cities are therefore less crowded and you’ll find more quiet; the wind anyways reaches even the city center and, with some fresh air, walking through ancient streets looking for museums and monuments won’t be a problem.
Don’t forget that Sicily is not only seaside: there are plenty of wonderful, breath-taking destinations you can reach in the inland, maybe on hilltops or on mountain tops, that will let you breathe some fresh air. If you are staying in Palermo you may visit Monreale or Monte Pellegrino, where religious buildings are stunning and the panorama is unforgettable; if you are staying in the Trapani area, maybe in Marsala or Scopello, you’ll find the little Medieval town of Erice on top of Mt.San Giuliano, with pretty narrow streets of cobblestone, ancient castles and an amazing view of the Western shore. On the Eastern area don’t forget the famous, majestic Etna and all the little charming villages lying on the sides of the volcano, as well as the enchanting Castelmola, just a few kilometers far from Taormina. And after all, what’s better than a freshening bath into the clean waters of the Sicilian sea to get some relief from the hot summer of this wonderful land!? | [

During the American Revolution and into the early republic, Americans fought with one another over the kinds of political expression and activity that independence legitimized.
Liberty poles — tall wooden poles bearing political flags and signs — were a central fixture of the popular debates of the late eighteenth century.
Revolutionaries had raised liberty poles to symbolize their resistance to British rule. In response, supporters of the British crown often tore them down, sparking conflicts with pole-raisers. (You can read about New York City’s liberty poles here.)
In the 1790s, some Americans (liberal minded Democratic-Republicans) revived the practice of raising liberty poles, casting the administrations of George Washington and John Adams (both more conservative Federalists) as monarchists and tyrants.
Echoing the British response, Federalist supporters of the government destroyed the poles, leading to vicious confrontations between the two sides in person, in print, and at the ballot box.
Shira Lurie’s The American Liberty Pole: Popular Politics and the Struggle for Democracy in the Early Republic (University of Virginia Press, 2023) is the first comprehensive study of this revealing phenomenon, highlighting the influence of ordinary citizens on the development of American political culture.
Shira Lurie, Assistant Professor of History at Saint Mary’s University, demonstrates how, in raising and destroying liberty poles, Americans put into practice the types of popular participation they envisioned in the new republic.

Operators of cable networks are very familiar with the mandated requirements for monitoring signal leakage. In standard and mid-split deployments, leaks are discovered using a variety of techniques such as direct Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) measurement, direct detection of Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM) signal components, and detection of Continuous Wave (CW) signals generated at the headend or Node Remote PHY Device (RPD) in the downstream direction. In high split deployments, leaks in the aeronautical band are discovered by monitoring the upstream for a specific test burst generated by the cable modem under control of the Cable Modem Termination System (CMTS.)
With the introduction of Full Duplex DOCSIS (FDX), some of the status quo practices for leakage detection will need to be changed due to the inherent differences between the traditional network and FDX which pushes the upstream (US) frequency up to 684 MHz. This paper explores several subjects related to detection and measurement of leakage in the FDX network. We will discuss how this will now necessitate leakage detection methods in both the downstream (DS) and US direction simultaneously in the aeronautical band, and we will discuss the potential benefit to perform additional Long-Term Evolution (LTE) band frequency measurements for upstream leakage when using full bandwidth FDX implementations.
We will additionally share lab test results demonstrating concurrent upstream and downstream leakage detection and we will propose a new test methodology for use in a controlled environment which will allow meter sensitivity testing for the new simultaneous upstream and downstream leakage detection. | [

Tinnitus refers to a ringing in the ears that frequently accompanies hearing loss. Based upon the statistics from the Hearing Health Foundation, an estimated 48 million individuals in the United States and almost 477 million around the world experience these signs, particularly as they grow older. While preliminary tinnitus rarely suggests a serious condition, it can be really tough to deal with as it progresses and ends up being more major. brainhq tinnitus
There could be many possible causes of tinnitus. It might differ from exposure to loud noises, age, genetic elements, or even specific restrictions in one’s diet plan. Regrettably, once tinnitus sets in, it is very difficult to eliminate the ringing noise. There are some medical treatments for it, but due to its minimal success at totally restoring great hearing, individuals now want to alternative natural services to supply relief or perhaps prevent it from taking place completely.
In the myriad of readily available options, customers can get very baffled as to which are good alternatives to take to resolve their tinnitus difficulties. We aim to examine the readily available alternatives and sort out the best tinnitus relief supplements for 2021. brainhq tinnitus
Current research study suggests that hearing ringing sound in ears is simply a symptom. That’s why, even using ear plugs do not stop the constant ringing. Rather, the root cause of tinnitus is inflammation occurring in the brain.
Silencil consists of a mix of 28 carefully combined plant extracts and vitamins. These components are specifically selected to reduce inflammation in the brain and to encourage brain repair work and healing. The description video lay it out in an easy 5-step technique to recovering from Tinnitus as a basic description of how Silencil works. brainhq tinnitus
We do not have a complete list of all the 28 herbal active ingredients. We listed the prominent ones below. In addition, they do have research study backing on their efficiency in enhancing brain health. The mentioned components are:

Underwater soft robots are challenging to model and control because of their high degrees of freedom and their intricate coupling with water. In this paper, we present a method that leverages the recent development in differentiable simulation coupled with a differentiable, analytical hydrodynamic model to assist with the modeling and control of an underwater soft robot. We apply this method to Starfish, a customized soft robot design that is easy to fabricate and intuitive to manipulate. Our method starts with data obtained from the real robot and alternates between simulation and experiments. Specifically, the simulation step uses gradients from a differentiable simulator to run system identification and trajectory optimization, and the experiment step executes the optimized trajectory on the robot to collect new data to be fed into simulation. Our demonstration on Starfish shows that proper usage of gradients from a differentiable simulator not only narrows down its simulation-to-reality gap but also improves the performance of an open-loop controller in real experiments. | [

This undertaking work takes a look on the petroleum waste generated on the expense of oil and gasoline activities as it helps determine the various varieties of petroleum waste, sources of petroleum waste technology, oil and gasoline operations leading to the era of petroleum waste, they impression of those operations on the society, the various varieties of treatment methods for each sort of petroleum waste with their respective waste administration practices, their environmental impacts, health, social and financial implications on the society. Most importantly, one of the best suitable and efficient methods for handling this waste generated in the course of working oil and gas operations is made recognized for future reference.
1.1 BACKGROUND OF Study
Hydrocarbon is a naturally occurring liquid that can be distilled or refined to make fuels, lubricating oils, asphalt, and other beneficial products. However it is in its raw type (crude), and has to endure some rigorous process operation, starting from the upstream sector to the downstream sector that results in the activities carried out in the oil and gas business.
The activities of the petroleum business outcome in the generation and discharge of gaseous and liquid and stable waste and its hazardous materials into the environment. Whereas some of these wastes can have important adverse effects on the atmosphere, some have little impact, and others are literally beneficial. In virtually all instances, the antagonistic affect could be minimized or eradicated by means of the implementation of proper waste management. An important steps in minimizing adverse environmental influence is for the business to take a proactive strategy to managing operations and turn out to be educated about those actions that can doubtlessly hurt the environment.
The proactive method to managing operations and turn into educated about these actions leading to waste technology that may probably hurt the environment entails discovering and producing oil and gasoline, whereas minimizing antagonistic environmental influence by waste, requires understanding the essential methods of dealing with and managing this waste produced from the petroleum trade.
1.1.2 WASTE Generation Within the PETROLEUM Trade
The waste generated within the course of the petroleum trade activities doubtlessly poses nice hazards to each human, animal health, and the setting, and are known as petroleum waste.
The petroleum industry is a complex combination of many inter-dependent mixture akin to exploration (production), exploitation (refining), and liquefaction (LPG, NGL, LNG) plants, petro-chemical, transportation, storage and marketing. Within the course of each of the phases of operations, solids and, or liquids and gaseous waste are been generated, which adversely impacts the soil, air and water habitats if not properly controlled.
1.1.3 OIL AND Gasoline OPERATIONS Producing PETROLEUM WASTE
Below isa list of Oil and Gasoline operations via which waste are generated in the petroleum business, they are:
– The exploration and development operations
– Manufacturing operations
– Terminal operations
– Hydrocarbon processing operations
– Liquefaction (LPG, NGL, LNG) plants
– Oil transportation
EXPLORATION AND Growth OPERATIONS
The major sources of waste pollution throughout exploration and development are blow-out, drill cuttings, drilling fluids and well therapy.
A blow-out is an uncontrolled movement of gas or liquid from a effectively to the surface. It frequently produces flying debris or result a fire. It is also as a result of abnormal formation pressure, detected where hydrostatic strain is lower than formation strain, you may have a blow out because of drill fluid column and formation pressure is the formation column.
Drilling mud a typical type of drilling fluid will be either water base or oil base and are formulated to form a mixture of complicated chemicals, natural and in-organic plus clay water. Drill mud additives might comprise heavy metals like chromium and lead compounds that are well being hazards.
It has been discovered that dropping of drill cuttings on land will locally prevent plant progress, until pure processes develop new top soil. In water, the materials disperse and sink which can locally kill bottom living creatures by burying them. Effectively remedy circulation comprises chemicals and if not properly disposed of, pose serious problem to each life and atmosphere.
The waste originating from manufacturing operations include:
Produced water effluence solids, liquids and gases
Oil leaks from wells, piping and storage
Accidental oil spillages
Liquid effluence from production operations contains several hundred components per million of oil and grease. The full dissolved solids (TDs), Bio-chemical oxygen demand (BOD), heavy metals, and different toxics. The effluence might differ from the receiving setting in terms of salinity, temperature and PH.
Fuel flaring is a standard follow at manufacturing fields, refineries and petro-chemical plants causing atmospheric emissions of CO2, CO, oxides of Nitrogen and sulfur as well as particulate matter. Air pollution resulting from gasoline flares, affects man and his environment in many ways.

The advantage of carbon braiding tapes over a woven material is that they cover a larger width range. Thus one can not only influence the width of a braided tape by stretching or compressing, but also the fibre angle. In this way, only one carbon braid can be used for a composite component with several layers. The fiber angle should be between 30° and 60°. For reinforcement in the 0° direction, so-called UD threads can be braided in, which can also consist of a different material. The carbon fibres we use are particularly suitable for processing with epoxy and polyester systems.

Love, Or Something Like It
In Love, Or Something Like It, our new Metro.co.uk series, we’re on a quest to find true love.
Covering everything from mating, dating and procreating to lust and loss, we’ll be looking at what love is and how to find it in the present day.
My heart sank when I found out the tired green Vauxhall Astra belonged to Bill.
We’d only just met in a cottage in Cornwall – invited there for the weekend by mutual friends – but he’d already caught my eye.
He was tall and broad-shouldered with the air of a gentle giant, but could I fancy a guy who drove such an average motor? I’d so hoped that the shiny Range Rover or the smart VW Transporter van – both symbols of success in my mind – would be his.
Bill grew on me over the weekend, especially when he gave me a fireman’s lift over a stream. But the more I found out about him, the more I questioned our compatibility.
I was a former political journalist who’d travelled the world with prime ministers. I had a degree from Oxford University and spoke a few languages. I prided myself on my drive.
I’d expected to date and eventually settle down with another ambitious A-type, perhaps a fellow Oxbridge graduate, a lawyer, doctor or banker – someone who could afford a shiny Range Rover even if they didn’t have one.
Bill had studied at Portsmouth Polytechnic and worked as a mechanical design engineer. He clocked in and out of his job, went for bike rides after work and preferred an easy life to climbing the career ladder.
How would Bill fare at a London party with my Oxford pals or my former colleagues from Parliament? What would my friends think of him? And how would we build a life together if I always strived for more while he was content with his lot?
Like many women, I’d been socialised to ‘marry up’ – to find someone wealthier, more powerful and more successful than me. This idea of partnering with someone of higher rank and social status goes way back, to the days when women relied on men’s legal protection and earning power to protect them.
Within my lifetime, women had still been expected to go from their father’s care to their husband’s without even considering a career of their own.
Despite all the advances of feminism, old attitudes take years to change and they are deeply ingrained: try and think of a romcom, even today, that doesn’t end with the woman bagging the man of her dreams.
I was especially susceptible to the romantic fairy tales because deep down, I wanted to be taken care of – rescued, even. I had an ingrained sense of financial insecurity that dated back to my childhood after my parents divorced when I was eight and money was tight. I’ve had an irrational fear that I’m going to end up broke and living on the streets ever since.
My low self-esteem impacted my romantic life, too. If my partner impressed my friends, maybe I’d feel better about myself. I could bask in his reflected glory. And so I found fault with every guy I met who didn’t measure up – wrong car, too short, lived in the wrong part of London.
I’d still be doing the same today – rejecting lovely guys and holding out for someone who doesn’t exist – if I hadn’t taken the time to build my self-esteem, learn to take care of myself and heal my past wounds. Instead, as you read this I’ll be marrying Bill and I couldn’t be happier.
We began dating after that weekend in Cornwall. And as I lowered my defences, our relationship flourished.
We did most of our courting under canvas, camping at music festivals in Dorset and on a sheep farm in Suffolk. We hired a campervan one Christmas and explored North Wales, enduring snow and driving rain, amid sunny intervals. We also spent a lot of time outdoors cycling – it was a shared passion, and Bill was someone I could share it with.
There were times I wanted Bill to make big, expensive gestures, like I’d seen in the movies. I imagined him showering me with jewellery or taking me on a surprise foreign trip. I was a romantic at heart and I thought such extravagance would show he truly loved me. But as our relationship continued, it dawned on me: Bill and I were happier lying on the grass outside a tent and I already felt secure in his affection – he didn’t need to prove it to me.
Slowly, I began to see that the person I always thought I wanted to be with – the go-getting guy in the sharp suit – wasn’t actually the person I needed.

Selected Article Excerpts:
- Bonnie Weinstein is married to Mikey Weinstein, founder and president of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF), which brings a special set of challenges to their relationship. The mission of MRFF is “to ensuring that all members of the United States Armed Forces fully receive the Constitutional guarantees of religious freedom to which they and all Americans are entitled by virtue of the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment.” Some people don’t like that.
- Mikey Weinstein founded MRFF in response to rampant violations of these principles by Evangelicals and other “Great Commission” Christians at the United States Air Force Academy, where their two sons (both Jewish) and future daughter-in-law and son-in law (both Christians) were cadets and, like Mikey, later graduates.Great Commission Christians are those who think it is their responsibility to save souls by converting others to their form of belief. They typically are biblical literalists who believe the Bible is the perfect and complete word of God. Their behavior often stands in contrast to Great Commandment Christians—those who think that the prime directive of the New Testament is not evangelism and right belief, but love. Many of these Christians perceive the Bible as a human document, an imperfect record of God’s relationship to humanity and the ministry of Jesus. Because of U.S. demographics, the vast majority of MRFF’s clients are Christians of this latter type, followed by religious minorities including Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Native American spiritualists, atheists, agnostics and Wiccans. MRFF also represents 861 LGBT armed forces clients.
- From the beginning, the Weinsteins and MRFF staff have received a barrage of hate mail filled with curses, imprecatory prayers, graphic descriptions of bodily harm, death threats, gloating promises of eternal torture and more—all in the name of Jesus and often accompanied by Bible quotations, chapter and verse. Some of the ugliest messages hone in on the fact that Bonnie and Mikey are Jewish, stating, for example that the Holocaust didn’t go far enough; that their children should be turned into skin lamps; that “their kind” are not Americans and can’t be; and that Hell will be worse than the gas chambers.At the suggestion of appalled supporters, Bonnie Weinstein finally compiled a selection of choice missives into a book, To the Far Right Christian Hater: You can be a good speller or a hater, but you can’t be both. I was a conservative Evangelical for many years. Over that time, I imagined saying nasty things to people, and sometimes did. I imagined swearing, and sometimes did. But it never crossed my mind that a believer might combine swearing and denigration with the name of Christ. The kaleidoscope of variations found in Weinstein’s book would have been unfathomable. Even today, if I hadn’t read them myself, I wouldn’t believe it still. | [

Shroud of the Avatar – Update of the Avatar #237
Greetings Fellow Avatars! Here’s what we have for you in this week’s edition of Update of the Avatar:
- New Norgard Garments
- Etceter Polish
- Vertas Polish
- Making of Hallowed Plains (cont.)
- Making of Grannus Colossus (cont.)
New Norgard Garments
The devs have begun creating the Viking-inspired clothing for the NPCs in the Northwest regions of Novia, including Norgard and Verdantis. This will complement the already established architectural character of the region and help to better define the area as a whole. We are creating garments for Guards, Citizens, and Merchants/Nobility, all of whom “courageously” display the color yellow which everyone knows drives the Kobolds mad, or so they say.
Hey all! So we thought we’d make a post showing our current progress with Norgard clothing. So far we’ve modeled out a few variations of basic shirts and pants for NPCs and are starting to create player wearable versions of everything. Keep in mind that these images are subject to revision as we move forward. Cheers!
Hello my friends!
It’s time for another update from yours truly! For the last few weeks I’ve been working to revamp the town of Etceter, one of the southern gateways to the tempestuous Bay of Storms, and the old stomping ground of the pirate lords in the centuries before the rise of the Obsidians, when the small seaside port generated enormous wealth from the now-abandoned Etceter Crag Mines. You will see from my following images how this old port-of-call has begun to change its face!
Though little has changed near the common entrance into the scene, passing through the town will eventually lead to the primary crossroads, where the port-side commerce and housing district (seen on the right) gives way to the richer estates that once belonged to the wealthiest privateers (seen up the rise of the hill to the left) who made their fortunes when the Etceter Crag Mines were at the height of production! From here we can get a better view of some of the newest points of interest I’ve added.
Turning left to look up the hill past the occupied estates, one can see the somewhat overgrown remnants of the main road leading straight from the docks below, to the abandoned ruins of the Baroness’ Keep! Just downhill and across the road from the keep is the walled, crumbling remnants of the stockade building that once served the keep, and further up the hill you can glimpse the rotting and moss-covered remains of smaller houses, both inside and outside of the wooden barricades built soon after the occupation of the Obsidians nearly 200 years ago. Among those ramshackle hovels is the long-abandoned cottage of Amanda, sister of Syenna.
Now, a little history might be in order to help explain what you are about to see.
Etceter was a small coastal mining town first and foremost, but its wealth eventually drew in raiding pirates, first on the seas, and then overtaking the town itself as they decided to involve themselves directly in the mining operations. Over time, it slowly became a more respectable town as the wealthy pirate lords chose to settle down and involve themselves in the less-dangerous pastime of trade. It is here that the culture that eventually blossomed in Norgard was born, and it was here that the Council of Might convened to discuss the rising Obsidian threat more than two centuries ago. This offense to the Obsidians was not forgotten, and before their eventual collapse they descended on Etceter, slaughtered its nobility, shattered the Baroness’ Keep, set up a garrison here with satyrs and fauns as a workforce, and continued to draw wealth from the mines until the fateful day the miners uncovered something terrible in the depths of those distant mountains. Eventually, after the Obsidian’s defeat, the town grew back again, with all the old structures still fairly intact, and an addition to the population in the form of the satyrs and fauns that escaped their dark masters toward the end…
The old stockade had housed some of the Obsidian garrison in those days, and though abandoned and decrepit now, it can still be visited by those who might not mind a broken ankle or two.
Just up the hill from that is an abandoned hovel or two, including the cottage of Amanda, the sister of Syenna, described in “The Sword of Midras” as having beautiful yet somewhat Elvin features, the product of the terrible Obsidian Reshaper experiments that left her somewhat crippled.
There is little left of her life there centuries ago, and its | [

Perturbations acting on a radiative system in its excited states affect the coherence property of a second order optical response of the system. In order to understand general features of such effects, perturbations are considered as a stochastic Markoffian process. A general formalism is developed for calculations of spectral as well as temporal responses. In the static limit and also in the extremely fast limit of perturbation, only the coherent Raman or Rayleigh scattering is present, but in general intermediate cases the incoherent luminescence process coexists. The theory can cover the whole range from the static to the fast limit without appealing to the ordinary sort of perturbational calculation. It is illustrated for a three-level model, a four level model and for an optical center coupled with a quantum Brownian oscillator.

Regarding Song Xiao-chen’s Oct. 4 letter, “Forget about a Taiwan alliance“: I agree on one point — that Japan cannot depend on an alliance with Taiwan (formerly Formosa) to avoid conflict with China over the sovereignty of the Senkaku Islands. Formosa was occupied by the Chinese warlord Chiang Kai-shek in 1949, while Mao Zedong occupied eastern Mongolia, Tibet and East Turkistan, and got Manchuria as a birthday gift from Josef Stalin.
There is no difference between the Chinese who occupied Formosa and those who occupied the countries mentioned above. Both armies committed atrocities against the native populations while the so-called democratic West looked the other way. China’s claims on the Senkaku Islands or Spratly Islands are expressions of the same aggressive imperialism.
It is true that Japan occupied the Korean Peninsula, Formosa, and several smaller islands in the late 19th century when the Meiji Empire started expanding. At that time, there was no China but the Manchu Empire. The Senkaku Islands were not a part of the Manchu, Ming or Mongol empires, as it was uninhabited and considered insignificant. Similarly Formosa was never a part of any of the Chinese empires either.
If we accept the Senkakus as part of the Manchu Empire, China could be justified in arguing its claim on all land up to what used to be the Roman Empire, as it was occupied at one time by the same Mongols who went on to occupy the greater part of China.
The opinions expressed in this letter to the editor are the writer’s own and do not necessarily reflect the policies of The Japan Times.

Revealed: How a fake bomb was found in wedding cake box that travelled on UPS flight from London to Turkey
It has emerged that a fake bomb was found on a cargo plane that travelled from the UK to Turkey without being detected.
An investigation has been launched after the lapse which the Department for Transport said was taking "very seriously".
The package - including a timer, wires and a detonator - was delivered by a Turkish man to a UPS office in north London two weeks ago, according to ITV News.
UPS: The flight left the UK for Turkey two weeks ago
Last week a 26-year-old Turkish man was arrested at his home on suspicion of making a bomb hoax, police have said.
The man was taken to a North London police station where he was questioned and released on bail until May.
Police carrying out a search at an address in north London said the incident was not terrorist-related.
A DfT spokesman said: 'The Government is aware of this incident and takes it very seriously. We have already begun an investigation which will look at all aspects of this accident, including UPS's procedures.
'The UK has one of the toughest security regimes for air cargo in the world. All security measures are subject to continuous review.'
A UPS spokeswoman said: 'Two weeks ago, a suspicious package travelled within the UPS network aboard an all-cargo aircraft from the United Kingdom to Istanbul, Turkey.
'UPS is co-operating with the UK Department for Transport's investigation of the incident. UPS has a multiple-layered approach to ensure security.'
Last October a bomb disguised as an ink cartridge was found on a UPS cargo plane at East Midlands Airport. Police later said it was timed to detonate over the eastern seaboard of the United States. The bomb, and another found in Dubai, contained at least 300g (10.58oz) of the powerful explosive PETN.

Is Nina moving on too fast? Offspring's Asher Keddie jumps into bed with new man after the death of her onscreen husband
She lost her onscreen husband in a dramatic car crash that sent shock waves through the TV sets of Australia last year.
But in Wednesday night’s third episode of the new season of Offspring, Nina Proudman ventured out and pursued a new romance for the first time since the tragedy.
The obstetrician played by Logie winner Asher Keddie, struck a conversation that eventually lead to the bedroom with a charming stranger Leo Taylor, played by Australian actor Patrick Brammall.
The start: In season five Nina and Leo shared a steamy encounter as strangers after a chance meeting at an airport
Too soon? This is the first time that Nina has become intimate with a man since her partner Dr Patrick Reid passed away last season
The unlikely pair met by chance at Melbourne airport, forced to make small talk as they waited for a delayed flight.
In a bid to move on from her grief after losing partner Dr Patrick Reid played by Matt Le Nevez, Nina forged a new identity, claiming to be a florist.
It looks like intimacy was very well on the blonde beauty’s mind, as she attempted to flaunt her so-called floral expertise and dropped the hilarious line that flowers ‘are the sexual organs of plants.’
Leo, an astronomer, took the amusing comment in his stride, and it wasn’t long before he asked Nina back to his hotel room.
Understandably a tough call to make for the grief-stricken widow, Nina initially declined the offer.
However in true Nina Proudman style where viewers are given an insight into her thoughts, her younger sister Billie appeared in her imagination, pointing out how the handsome man ticks all of the right boxes.
‘He’s here for one night and he’s the right age, single, eloquent, no connection whatsoever to anyone you know, no knowledge whatsoever to your situation and he’s relatively attractive,’ Billie told a confused Nina.
So Nina decided to try and move on, heading back to Leo’s room to get intimate.
He ticks the boxes: Nina's sister Billie appears in her imagination and convinces Nina that moving on with Leo is worth a shot
That's the other Patrick! Matt Le Nevez who played Dr Patrick Reid reappears in the episode as Nina visualises her later partner while getting intimate with Leo
Back to reality: After day dreaming for a split second, Nina realises she is in bed with Leo not Patrick
But just as things began getting hot and heavy, her imagination and flashbacks of a disappointed Patrick ruined the mood and she realised she can’t get go through with it.
It is unsure whether the charming Leo will return in upcoming episodes, but perhaps with a little persistence, he may very well be a breath of fresh air that helps Nina move forward in life.
Fans of the TV show were left heartbroken after last year's season finale, when Nina’s baby-daddy Dr Patrick Reid died suddenly just before the birth of their first child.
In the new season she has been left to pick up the pieces with the help of her oddball family, including sister Billie (Kat Stewart), brother Jimmy (Richard Davies) and mother Geraldine (Lisa Cropper).
Disappointment: Nina's conscience overrides and she sees a disapproving Patrick watching her move on
Just doesn't feel right: Nina realises this encounter is too soon and she isn't ready to move on from Patrick just yet
New guy on the block: Patrick Brammall gives former Offspring star Matt Le Nevez a run for his money in the eye candy stakes but it is unsure whether he appears again in the new season

On July 17, 2007, two years ago, the New Hyde Park Activity League was devastated with a flood. The force of the water lifted the cement gym floor 14 inches high.
The Town of North Hempstead has seen the damage caused by releasing the water from the sumps. They were sympathetic with our dilemma.
At the time, they stated they would like to help with finance and construction needs but nothing has come forward.
Programs have been cancelled and moved to other locations. Most were cancelled. Our program for “special needs” was moved to a smaller location which was a problem for parents who need this program. We need to renovate this building and to bring the programs back.

A newly discovered asteroid 2017 FD3 flew past Earth at a distance of 0.45 LD (~172 800 / 107 372 miles) from the surface on March 17, 2017, two days before it was discovered.
2017 FD3 has an estimated size between 7.8 and 17 m (25 - 55 feet) and it belongs to the Apollo group of asteroids. It flew past Earth at 14:30 UTC at a speed (relative to the Earth) of 11.58 km/s.
This is the 10th known near-Earth asteroid to flyby Earth within 1 lunar distance since the start of the year, according to data available at CNEOS on September 20, 2017.
2017 FD3 was first observed at Catalina Sky Survey on March 19, 2017.
Featured image: The green line indicates the object's apparent motion relative to the Earth, and the bright green marks are the object's location at approximately one hour intervals. The Moon's orbit is grey. The blue arrow points in the direction of Earth's motion and the yellow arrow points toward the Sun. Edit: TW

A strong solar storm triggered a spectacular aurora over the Memorial Day weekend, visible over a sizable swath of the northern U.S., Canada, and higher latitudes of the Southern Hemipshere.
The storm, rated G3 on the NOAA scale for geomagnetic storms, peaked Saturday night, setting up a dazzling display in the night sky as far south as parts of Nebraska and Cape Cod.

This storm originated from a coronal mass ejection, essentially a large eruption of charged particles and radiation from the sun's corona, on May 23. Once the energetic particles in the solar wind interact with air molecules in the earth's upper atmosphere, a brilliant light show ensues.
Here is a collection of photos posted on social media of this event.

Upstate New York, New EnglandThe northern lights are just one of the many amazing sights the staff at the Mt. Washington Observatory witnesses.
Even residents and vacationers on Cape Cod were treated to a sight they don't often see, there.
The aurora could also be detected by the Suomi NPP satellite, seen as a bright ribbon across the northern extent of the image below.
And we'd be remiss if not including a spectacular photo of the aurora australis, the light show from the southern hemisphere.

From New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services, March 21:
As COVID-19 becomes more common in our communities, testing every person presenting with mild symptoms of fever or respiratory illness becomes impractical and does not change how a person’s illness is managed. Therefore, DHHS has shared the following recommendations for COVID-19 testing:
People who are 60 years of age and older, or those with chronic medical problems are at higher risk for hospitalization and death from COVID-19 and should:
- Stay at home and away from public places.
- Avoid any domestic or international travel.
- Call a provider if you are experiencing symptoms. If not severely ill, please call ahead before showing up at a hospital or emergency department.
People who have mild symptoms of COVID-19, even if not tested, should stay home until:
- At least 7 days have passed since symptoms first appeared.
- At least 72 hours have passed since recovery; which is defined as resolution of fever without the use of fever-reducing medications and improvement in respiratory symptoms.
People who do not have symptoms but have been notified that they may have been exposed through close contact with a person with COVID-19 or a person presumed to have COVID-19 (without testing), and any persons who have traveled from countries with widespread sustained transmission should:
- Stay home (self-quarantine) for 14 days from the last day of potential exposure. It can take up to 14 days from the time someone is exposed to develop symptoms of COVID-19.
- Not be tested for COVID-19 because it doesn’t change the need for a person to self-quarantine even if testing is negative.
- Help us preserve our medical supplies by not asking to be tested.
For information on the differences between isolation and quarantine, please see the following information: https://www.nh.gov/covid19/documents/terms.pdf.
Symptoms of COVID-19 most often include fever or respiratory illness, such as cough. Early mild symptoms can include fatigue, headache, and muscle aches. Fever may not develop until several days into illness, or not at all, but people can still transmit the novel coronavirus very early in their course of illness.
For more information on COVID-19 in NH, please visit https://www.dhhs.nh.gov/dphs/cdcs/2019-ncov.htm. For the latest information from the CDC, please visit https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html. | [

New analyzer built to run toughest TOC samples
GE Analytical Instruments, a GE Water & Process Technologies unit, introduces the Sievers InnovOx Laboratory TOC Analyzer, designed to run thousands of diverse, high-TOC samples — including brine and cellulose — with exceptional uptime. The unit offers oxidation robustness, dynamic linear working range, and calibration curve stability for industrial process and environmental water samples. Compliant with EPA, Standard Methods and ASTM regulatory methods, it uses a patent-pending Super Critical Water Oxidation (SCWO) technique to achieve superior TOC recoveries regardless of organic compounds and particulate impurities. Ideal for ultrapure water and complex sample matrices, this new process also removes all oxidation byproducts and sample between each analytical run, eliminating the need for frequent maintenance. The analyzer optimizes sample representation and measurement via a unique sample handling/sparging module that homogenizes a large sample volume. With a dynamic detection range of 0.5-50,000 ppm, it uses an enhanced Non-Dispersive Infra-Red (NDIR) design to allow superior linear response with no catalyst to replace. Options include multiple runs on the same sample, auto-calibration range selection, and integration with the Sievers 900 Autosampler. The unit also has a Web interface for remote monitoring, an intuitive touch-screen display, and three convenient USB ports.

Where is imagination in imaginative resistance? We seek to answer this question by connecting two ongoing lines of inquiry in different subfields of philosophy. In philosophy of mind, philosophers have been trying to understand imaginative attitudes’ place in cognitivearchitecture. In aesthetics, philosophers have been trying to understand the phenomenon of imaginative resistance. By connecting these two lines of inquiry, we hope to find mutual illumination of an attitude (or cluster of attitudes) and a phenomenon that have vexed (...) philosophers. Our strategy is to reorient the imaginative resistance literature from the perspective of cognitivearchitecture. Whereas existing taxonomies of positions in the imaginative resistance literature have focused on disagreements over the source and scope of the phenomenon, our taxonomy focuses on the psychological components necessary for explaining imaginative resistance.

Do accounts of scientific theory formation and revision have implications for theories of everyday cognition? We maintain that failing to distinguish between importantly different types of theories of scientific inference has led to fundamental misunderstandings of the relationship between science and everyday cognition. In this article, we focus on one influential manifestation of this phenomenon which is found in Fodor's well-known critique of theories of cognitivearchitecture. We argue that in developing his critique, Fodor confounds a variety of (...) distinct claims about the holistic nature of scientific inference. Having done so, we outline more promising relations that hold between theories of scientific inference and ordinary cognition. (shrink)
The representational nature of human cognition and thought in general has been a source of controversies. This is particularly so in the context of studies of unconscious cognition, in which representations tend to be ontologically and structurally segregated with regard to their conscious status. However, it appears evolutionarily and developmentally unwarranted to posit such segregations, as,otherwise, artifact structures and ontologies must be concocted to explain them from the viewpoint of the human cognitivearchitecture. Here, from a by-and-large Classical (...) cognitivist viewpoint, I show why this segregation is wrong, and elaborate on the need to postulate an ontological and structural continuity between unconscious and conscious representations. Specifically, I hypothesize that this continuity is to be found in the symbolic-based interplay between the syntax and the semantics of thought, and I propose a model of human information processing characterized by the integration of syntactic and semantic representations. (shrink)
The dynamic approach to understanding of the human consciousness, its cognitive activities and cognitivearchitecture is one of the most promising approaches in the modern epistemology and cognitive science. The conception of embodied mind is under discussion in the light of nonlinear dynamics and of the idea co-evolution of complex systems developed by the Moscow scientific school. The cognitivearchitecture of the embodied mind is rather complex: data from senses and products of rational thinking, (...) the verbal and the pictorial, logic and intuition, the analytical and synthetic abilities of perception and of thinking, the local and the global, the analogue and the digital, the archaic and the post-modern are intertwined in it. In the process of cognition, co-evolution of embodied mind as an autopoietic system and its surroundings takes place. The perceptual and mental processes are bound up with the structure of human body. Nonlinear and circular connecting links between the subject of cognition and the world constructed by him can be metaphorically called a nonlinear cobweb of cognition. Cognition is an autopoietic activity because it is directed to the search of elements that are missed; it serves to completing integral structures. According to the theory of blow-up regimes in complex systems elaborated by Sergey P.Kudyumov and his followers, the idea of co-evolution is connected with the concept of tempoworlds. To co-evolve means to start to develop in one and the same tempoworld and to use the possibility – in case of a proper intergation into a whole structure – to accelerate the tempo of evolution. The cognitive activities of the human being can be considered as a movement (active walk) in landscapes of co-evolution when he cognizes and changes environment and is changed himself by the very activities. The similar conclusion can be drawn from Francisco Varela’s conception of enactive cognition. (shrink)
The debate between the theory-theory and simulation has largely ignored issues of cognitivearchitecture. In the philosophy of psychology, cognition as symbol manipulation is the orthodoxy. The challenge from connectionism, however, has attracted vigorous and renewed interest. In this paper I adopt connectionism as the antecedent of a conditional: If connectionism is the correct account of cognitivearchitecture, then the simulation theory should be preferred over the theory-theory. I use both developmental evidence and constraints on explanation (...) in psychology to support this claim. (shrink)

The Management and staff of Taskira Media Services felicitates with the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Yussuf Tuggar, on his 57th birthday anniversary.
Yusuf Tuggar, who comes from a distinguished political background in Bauchi State, who was named after the Prominent Dan Masanin Kano Late Yusuf Maitama Suleiman a very close ally to his father. Tuggar had an impressive career serving the country. His father, Late Abubakar Tuggar is a radical prominent figure himself, served as the Organizing Secretary of the Northern People’s Congress before and after Nigeria’s independence in 1960, and later became a Senator.
Tuggar has held various notable positions. He served as Nigeria’s Ambassador to Germany from 2017 to 2023. Prior to that, he was a member of the Nigerian House of Representatives from 2007 to 2011, representing Gamawa. He also contested for the governorship of Bauchi State on two occasions.
Nigeria’s Minister of Foreign Affairs played a key role in the conceptualization of the Siemens Power deal, which aimed to significantly expand Nigeria’s electricity grid capacity.
He is also instrumental in attracting significant funding from German institutions for the Kano-Maradi rail line project which has reached about 60% completion
However, once again we wished the Minister a happy 57th birthday and many more fruitful years of service to fatherland and humanity. | [

[02:07] Connectivity is critical. What should customers look for to ensure their connections to their cloud providers have eliminated single points of failure?
[13:36] Do most customers view their cloud assets to be an extension of their core data center? How should they ensure the security of data during transport?
[19:21] Software-Defined WAN is becoming a popular way to connect things these days. How do SD-WAN technologies fit into the connectivity to or between clouds?
[01:13] “The performance, the capabilities of the cloud, do not matter if you do not have solid, reliable, and secure connectivity.” – Jack Bailey
[02:40] “A lot of folks do not spend enough time thinking about their single points of failure.” – Leah Schoeb
[05:04] “It’s a pretty big job to make sure that you stay connected and redundancy is very important.” – Leah Schoeb
[07:28] “Companies definitely need to plan out, not just redundancy in their own primary network, but redundancy from a perspective of: if we’re in a DR scenario, how do my remote users connect and what options do I have to make sure they have continued connectivity during that event?” – Jack Bailey
[09:17] “It’s now no longer so much about whether you can connect to multiple different things, but it’s how you’re stitching it all together.” – Trevor Pott
[09:46] “This is really moving the discussion away from just raw connectivity options over to management, and especially to automation and orchestration.” – Trevor Pott
[13:11] “They have a lot of security that they have to deal with, so they’re not able to save things locally on their devices, so connectivity becomes even more important because now that worker cannot do any work at all unless they have that reliability of connectivity.” – Leah Schoeb
[16:05] “Things like MPLS, VPLS, SD-WAN components, are becoming much more of a driving force for customers that I see day-to-day because they realize of the need to extend their environments.” – Jack Bailey
[20:12] “A secure SD-WAN usually has some form of quality of experience which allows you to make use of the limited bandwidth you happen to have at that site and make sure that the specific applications that you need get the quality that they’re requiring.” – Trevor Pott
[22:44] “You’ll find that technology is not just looking at a one to one – you’ve got five people in the office, so you only need 5 connections. You’re going to have 5 people in the office, but then you’re going to have 25-30 connections in some cases, because of just the way we work today.” – Leah Schoeb
[26:27] “I think a lot of the innovation in networking and in cloud connectivity is going to come from is moving that security directly into the network.” – Trevor Pott
“It’s now no longer so much about whether you can connect to multiple different things, but it’s how you’re stitching it all together.”

Most journeys start with deciding where to go. When a business decides to migrate their IT workloads to the cloud, they invest a lot of time and resources to determine why they want to move to the cloud, and which cloud will best serve their needs. Generally, it boils down to a need to focus more on business goals, and less on managing data centers. But, many businesses don’t consider how they’ll arrive at their new home in the cloud. | [

“The Lord caused the sea to go back all that night.” Exodus 14:21
In this verse there is a comforting message showing how God works in the dark. The real work of God for the children of Israel, was not when they awakened and found that they could get over the Red Sea; but it was “all that night.”
So there may be a great working in your life when it all seems dark and you cannot see or trace, but yet God is working. Just as truly did He work “all that night,” as all the next day. The next day simply manifested what God had done during the night. Is there anyone reading these lines who may have gotten to a place where it seems dark?
You believe to see, but you are not seeing. In your life-progress there is not constant victory; the daily, undisturbed communion is not there, and all seems dark.
“The Lord caused the sea to go back all that night.” Do not forget that it was “all that night.” God works all the night, until the light comes. You may not see it, but all that “night” in your life, as you believe God, He works. (Streams in the Desert)
Anyone who meets or hears Henry Blackaby speak is the better for it; I number myself among the beneficiaries. God used his study Experiencing God as a catalyst that propelled me to serve Christ in Kenya, and later in India. A number of years after I arrived and began ministry in Kenya, Dr. Blackaby came to East Africa to address all the missionaries serving in Eastern and Southern Africa under appointment by the Foreign Mission Board (now International Mission Board). I maneuvered into a seat close to the podium so I wouldn’t miss a word of his teaching. I still have handwritten notes in the margins of my Bible from those days of heaven on earth.
One of the gripping truths Blackaby expounds that continues to shape my understanding of discipleship is that God is always precious. Blackaby begins his seven realities of experiencing God with the foundational truth that God is always at work around us. Grasping this first reality sets our sail for all that follows, tacking in a decidedly Godward direction. I will not recognize at any given moment all that God is doing in and around me, but knowing that He is fosters confidence despite the darkness that may envelope during the interim.
“God works all the night, until the light comes. You may not see it, but all that ‘night’ in your life, as you believe God, He works.” | [

The Port of Los Angeles is a global leader on cyber security. In 2014, it became the first port in the world to implement a state-of-the-art Cyber Security Operations Center (CSOC). In 2015, it became the first port in the world to attain the ISO 27001 certification, the international cyber security standard. Continuing to advance its cyber security program, in 2019, the Port of Los Angeles successfully completed its G2 CSOC.
The G2 CSOC is built upon its original CSOC with upgraded technologies, new analytical tools, and leveraging of its own five years of cyber operations data to focus the G2 CSOC on the highest priority areas. Today, the G2 CSOC protects the Port against more frequent, sophisticated and damaging attacks, including 20-30 million unauthorized intrusion attempts per month.
The next evolution of the Port of Los Angeles’ cyber security program is to extend beyond the Port Authority and into the Port Community with a Cyber Resilience Center, a first-of-its-kind solution to reduce cyber risks of the Port ecosystem. The G2 CSOC will be an important component of the CRC by sharing information with the Port of Los Angeles ecosystem for collaboration and engagement with stakeholders, which will result in greater collective knowledge and stronger community defence against cyber threats. | [

Title: "On Soil Moisture, Plants, and the Atmospheric Boundary Layer"
Abstract: The terrestrial water balance and the related soil-moisture dynamics affect vegetation growth, which in turn controls the water and energy fluxes between the land and the atmosphere. Using minimalist models of these coupled dynamics, we explore the role of photosynthesis types and plant-water stress on the diurnal evolution of the atmospheric boundary layer. We focus on the initiation of moist convection taking place when the atmospheric boundary layer reaches the lifting condensation level (LCL) in conditions of high convective available potential energy (CAPE). We show how transpiration regimes of different photosynthetic types (e.g., C3, C4 and CAM) and main crops may imply different controls of such occurrences, with potential feedbacks on the regional water cycle. | [

What is creativity?
Is it something some people have while others don’t, something innate or learned?
Is it the attribute or expression of being able to take mundane materials, languages, or ideas and turn them into something spectacular or at least innovative?
Or is it simply a way of looking at something afresh, in a way others may not immediately see an object, situation or relationship?
Are creative people “creative” because they have recognized their own creativity or have they been deemed so by others?
While we may or may not be the next Michelangelo, Marie Curie, Jane Austen or Steve Jobs, I suggest creativity is the birthright of all individuals.

Abstract: Ice loads are core design criteria for hydropower dams in northern regions. They are responsible for a significant proportion of the design load of small dams that are typically used in Norway. In spite of their importance, the magnitude and regional variability of ice loads are still poorly understood and current regulations rely on limited amounts of field measurements. In order to develop tools and procedures for ice load predictions, numerical simulations have been compared with field measurements. This study presents preliminary results from 3-D numerical simulations of thermal ice loads in a small reservoir. Simulations are driven by measured air temperature data. The impact of inhomogenous boundary conditions is investigated with respect to snow depth distribution, ice cover thickness, and confinement. Simulations are compared with temperature and stress measurements in the ice. The results show that 5-week period of stresses can be simulated without periodic re-initiation of the model, that periods of disagreement between model and observations coincide with extreme events due to mechanical forcing or melting temperatures, that snow cover and boundaries have a significant but manageable influence on ice stress, and that agreement between thermal stresses modeled with a thermoelastic model and measurements is promising. | [

The Oleander Hedge is a popular choice for those looking to add some color and beauty to their landscape. Oleanders are fast growing, and when planted as a single hedge, they can quickly form a thick and lush barrier. These beautiful flowering shrubs can reach heights and spreads of up to 10 feet or more, depending on the variety. They are known to tolerate a wide range of conditions, including salt exposure, making them a great option for coastal areas.
Oleanders bloom from spring to fall, producing clusters of flowers in various colors, such as pink, white, red, and yellow. The bright and colorful blooms stand out against the dark green foliage, creating a stunning visual effect. However, it’s important to note that all parts of the oleander plant are poisonous if ingested, so be cautious when planting them in a garden where children or pets may be present.
When it comes to caring for an oleander hedge, proper watering is key. These plants require regular watering, especially during dry periods. It’s also important to fertilize them once or twice a year with a slow-release granular fertilizer. Pruning can help maintain the desired shape and height of the hedge, and it’s best done during the winter dormant period. Oleanders are generally pest-resistant, but caterpillars can sometimes be a problem, so keep an eye out for any signs of infestation.
When using oleanders as hedges, spacing is an important consideration. It’s recommended to plant them 4 to 6 feet apart to ensure proper airflow and prevent disease. Oleanders can be planted in formal landscape designs or in containers for a more controlled growth habit. They can also be used as a privacy fence due to their dense foliage. Overall, oleanders are a versatile and beautiful choice for adding color and structure to your outdoor space.
In summary, the oleander hedge is a stunning addition to any garden or landscape. With its fast-growing habit, colorful blooms, and dense foliage, these plants offer both beauty and privacy. However, it’s important to be cautious due to their poisonous nature. Proper care, including watering, fertilizing, and pruning, will help ensure a healthy and thriving oleander hedge. Consider planting these deer-resistant shrubs in a sunny spot where they can thrive and bring joy for years to come.
Oleander Nerium oleander
The Oleander Nerium oleander is a versatile and popular plant that is commonly used for hedges in landscapes. It is a species of flowering plant in the dogbane family, Apocynaceae. The Oleander is an evergreen shrub that can reach a height of up to 20 feet and a spread of 10 feet. It has a formal, upright habit with dense foliage and produces beautiful flowers in various colors, including pink, red, white, and yellow.
When growing oleander hedges, you need to consider a few important factors. First, you need to find the right location for planting. Oleanders prefer full sun and well-drained soils, although they can tolerate a wide range of soil conditions. They require moderate watering, especially during dry periods. When watering, make sure to thoroughly water the plants to encourage deep root growth.
Another thing to consider is the spacing between oleander plants when planting a hedge. For a single row hedge, space the plants about 5 to 6 feet apart. For a double row hedge, keep a distance of about 8 to 10 feet between the rows. This will allow enough room for the plants to grow and fill in the space, providing privacy and creating a beautiful hedge.
In terms of care, oleanders are relatively low-maintenance plants. They are resistant to most pests and diseases, although they may occasionally attract caterpillars and deer. Regular pruning is necessary to maintain the desired shape and size of the hedge. Prune oleanders in late winter or early spring, before new growth starts. Fertilizing with a granular fertilizer in early spring can help promote healthy growth and abundant blooming.
It’s important to note that oleanders are poisonous, so it’s important to handle them with care. Make sure to wear gloves when pruning or handling the plants. If you have pets or small children, it’s best to avoid planting oleanders in your garden.
Oleander hedges are commonly used for privacy screens, windbreaks, and as ornamental features in the landscape. They can also be used to create a boundary or define spaces in the garden. Oleanders can be planted as single specimens or in a grouping with other plants, such as plumbago. Their attractive flowers and foliage add beauty and color to any garden.
Overall, oleander hedges are a popular choice for their versatility and beauty. With proper care and maintenance, they can thrive in many different conditions and provide years of enjoyment | [

The shallow media filtration system consists of one or more standard high-speed filtration units. The water flows through the internal water distributor and water collector. Using different media, it can effectively remove particulate matter and reduce turbidity. If equipped with specific filter materials, such as activated carbon, anthracite, etc., it can also absorb corresponding organic matter, ions, etc. Filter units are available in various specifications and can be installed in different ways.
The filter can be used as an independent filtration system, using the water supply pump in the existing process. If it is used as a side filter, it can also be equipped with a water supply pump alone, or multiple processing units can be installed on the public pipeline, so that the system can achieve infinite filtration. ability. Shallow media filtration system features: 1. High filtration speed, low pressure drop. 2. Thoroughly solve the problems of slow filtering speed and small flow rate of ordinary mechanical filters.
3. Modular setting, small footprint. 4. The floor area is reduced by more than 40%, and the amount of piping engineering is reduced by more than 50%. 5. Manual, semi-automatic and fully automatic backwashing options are available.
6. The backwash water source can be selected from the system, water tower or external water source, and can be switched automatically (on special request). Shallow media filtration system Filtration mode: Filtration state: Unfiltered water is evenly distributed through a unique water distributor developed by ourselves, and the water passes through the packing layer in the filter in a laminar flow state. When the water flows through the packing layer, impurities are retained In the packing layer, there are multiple evenly distributed water collectors at the bottom of the filter, which collect and lead out the filtered water evenly, and filter in advection, so that the filter can filter at a high flow rate and still achieve a better filtering effect. Backwash state: As impurities continue to accumulate in the packing layer, the internal pressure head loss will continue to increase.
When the loss of the inlet and outlet water pressure head reaches the set value or reaches the set time, the system will automatically activate the constant pressure difference device to switch to the backwashing state. It is easier to clean the accumulated impurities. Poolking is the best swimming pool equipment manufacturer and supplier in China.

We establish a theoretical model of dispersion mismatch in absolute distance measurements using swept-wavelength interferometry (SWI) and propose a novel dispersion mismatch compensation method called chirp decomposition. This method separates the dispersion coefficient and distance under test, which ensures dispersion mismatch compensation without introducing additional random errors. In the measurement of a target located at 3.9 m, a measurement resolution of 45.9 μm is obtained, which is close to the theoretical resolution, and a standard deviation of 0.74 μm is obtained, which is better than the traditional method. The measurement results are compared to a single-frequency laser interferometer. The target moves from 1 m to 3.7 m, and the measurement precision using the new method is less than 0.81 μm.
© 2015 Optical Society of America
Prior to the appearance of swept-wavelength optical sources, SWI was developed in the radio-frequency region to perform free-space ranging measurements using frequency modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) radar [1,2]. At present, SWI forms the basis for a variety of measurement techniques used in a diverse array of applications. The first application was targeted at the measurement of reflections in optical fibers, which was termed optical frequency domain reflectometry (OFDR) [3–9]. Another application was the extension of the FMCW radar to the optical spectrum to produce FMCW laser radar systems [10–13], which was aimed at measuring the ranges of hard targets and wind speed. Finally, SWI has been used to perform depth-resolved imaging in two and three dimensions, e.g., optical frequency domain imaging (OFDI) [14,15] and swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) [16–18], respectively.
In the practical application of SWI, it is typically not possible to ensure that the frequency-swept characteristics of a laser are entirely linear. Historically, the problem of tuning nonlinearity has been addressed in three ways: the first approach is focused on the design and execution of a tunable laser source with a tuning curve that is linear in time [19–21], but this method is difficult and less convenient than the other methods; the second approach uses an auxiliary interferometer to measure the laser tuning rate to resample the sampling data [22,23]; and the last approach uses the output of an auxiliary interferometer working as a sampling clock to trigger data acquisition, which is called the frequency-sampling method [24–26]. The frequency-sampling method is widely considered to be the best method because it is convenient and avoids the potentially large number of interpolations required in the second method.
Because an optical path typically includes optical fiber, dispersion compensation is important to achieve high resolution. The traditional methods rely on placing the appropriate amount of dispersion balancing material in one interferometer arm [18,27–29], but these methods require bulky components and make it difficult to achieve a higher resolution. Numerical dispersion compensation techniques have also been proposed, and in theory, they can be optimized for any amount of dispersion. The traditional numerical dispersion compensation methods typically measure the phase errors caused by dispersion in advance, and then, the phase errors are used for dispersion compensation. For example, the first numerical dispersion compensation technique optimizes the chirp rate, which is the slope of the phase errors, and then uses it to create a phase term for dispersion compensation [16,30]; ultrahigh-resolution OCT images are demonstrated. Another numerical compensation technique for dispersion mismatch was subsequently proposed by Donghak Choi et al.. This method also measures the phase errors introduced by dispersion mismatch, using them to create a signal for dispersion compensation. Then, Norman Lippok et al. proposed a dispersion compensation technique based on the use of fractional Fourier transform (FrFT). This technique measures the chirp rate to confirm the FrFT order α first, and then, the FrFT is used for dispersion compensation, providing a new fundamental perspective of the nature and role of group-velocity dispersion.
In our work, an absolute distance measurement system based on SWI is established. The frequency-sampling method is used to correct the tuning nonlinearity. The dispersion mismatch between the auxiliary interferometer and measurement interferometer is analyzed, and a novel numerical dispersion compensation method that decomposes the measuring signal into the sum of a series of chirp signals is proposed. Experiments demonstrate the increased precision obtained with the proposed approach.
The principles of SWI-based absolute distance measurement technology were systematically discussed previously. Although the implementation may differ depending on the application, the defining characteristic of the SWI system is the utilization of a wavelength-tunable source coupled with an interferometer. In practical application, it is often not feasible to ensure that the frequency-tuning characteristics of a laser source are completely linear. In this paper, the frequency-sampling method is used to remove the impact of nonlinear tuning. The schematic diagram of our set-up using the frequency-sampling method is shown in Fig. 1. In this method, the output of an external cavity | [

ANKARA – Prosecutors have launched a new probe into the 2010 Public Personnel Selection Examination (KPSS) after a previous inquiry failed to yield results following a three-year investigation.
The Student Selection and Placement Center (ÖSYM) supervising the exams annulled the results due to allegations of cheating. A new prosecutor assigned to the case investigated 350 people who passed the exams by answering all questions correctly. All of them were found to be working as teachers at prep schools and private schools run by the Gülen Movement. It is reported that none of them were questioned in the probe launched in 2010. The new prosecutor also found that some participants supplied false addresses on exam registration forms to avoid suspicions.
The prosecutor's office has requested a list of phone calls made by exam participants before and after the tests to investigate whether they had questions and answers leaked to them prior to the exam.
The Gülen Movement, a powerful organization led by controversial cleric Fethullah Gülen, an imam living in self-imposed exile in the United States, is accused of running a parallel organization within the Turkish state. The organization is blamed for the Dec. 17 coup attempt which sought to discredit the government through investigations targeting people close to the government. The movement, which acquired clout in law enforcement, judiciary and various government agencies over the years, also faces allegations of cheating in other exams.
Those include exams for promotion to a higher rank in police force and exams for the post of associate professor at universities. | [

Productivity and efficiency are two main goals that most people want to achieve in their Dallas office space endeavors. Achieving these goals may be possible with the present structure of a work space; however, it is possible that the current office space status is subtly and unintentionally harming the environment.
With the current state of the economy, a transformation of the present structure to a greener one may be challenging since many businesses cannot invest much money to make such changes. This may be the right time to look for builders who offer flexible, affordable and easy-to-manage work spaces that include the substantial benefits of green features.
The green campaign involves two important factors: conservation and recycling, both of which are easily exercised at home; however, this is usually not the case in an office. Most employees tend to make triplicate copies when printing, use too many paper cups, or leave their computers on all night. In a year’s time, one employee can consume at least a quarter of a ton of materials alone, including thousands of pieces of printed paper.
Additionally, the cooling, heating, and other power sources of businesses contribute a carbon dioxide emission of almost forty percent to the atmosphere and gobble up approximately seventy percent or more of total electricity usage. Without no benefit at all, computers left running consume almost one billion dollars worth of electricity in a year.
The increasing demand for green workplaces is changing most current architectural designs. More and more commercial building owners are seeking builders who design structures with green features as such spaces lease more rapidly. Equipping commercial buildings with energy-saving apparatus such as solar panels easily attracts new occupants. In the United States, the act of going green is strengthened by the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), a council that was created to certify that buildings with green architecture meet the standards for energy efficiency, water savings, and a selection of good environmental indoor materials.
A LEED platinum rating is granted to structures with the capability to minimize energy dependency through the green principles that are incorporated into its design. There are only 41 commercial buildings that are certified platinum in the United States. Although not many Dallas office space buildings currently exist, constructing a LEED accredited building should prove profitable for most building owners. In addition, renters that move into a new location bearing an LEED accreditation are making a very wise move.
Green Policies Impact Employees
Office space is available that can greatly impact both the environment and the work behavior and attitudes of employees. For example, when it comes to commuting according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the productivity that is lost in the course of a year all across the United States can be estimated as costing up to 3.7 billion dollars in lost time due to traffic congestion. Adding fuel costs on top of this wasted time causes this total to climb to as high as 63.1 billion dollars every year.
Employers can try to help employees cut down on commuting time and spare them from congestion by choosing an accessible location for the business. More and more people are being encouraged not to be so dependent on fossil fuels by taking steps such as biking or walking to and from work. This may also mean purchasing a car that runs on an electric engine, acquiring a bio-diesel fleet for the company, or equipping the workplace with quality recycled or secondhand tables, chairs, and other furnishings.
There are many resources available for the creation of green features in an office space. Innovations such as rainwater harvesting, a fully useable green roof, solar panels, and sensor lighting are a few such examples. For smaller companies, it may also be feasible to lease an office space where facilities such as meeting rooms and bathrooms are shared with other companies to lower the overall footprint businesses contribute to the environment. Any way you look at it, Dallas office space is going green! | [

The Internet has modernized how medium & small businesses sell their products and services. To create an online reputation, a company needs a strong video marketing campaign & access to the latest motion graphic software. However, you will face multiple software or tools every other day on the market & maybe think about which software you should use to get your job done.
This article analyzes some valuable tools you should know about when selecting the best motion graphic software to narrow down your hustle.
Here is a motion graphics software list from Draftss, to equip you with the right tools.
6 Motion Graphic Software tools
Adobe After Effects is the most efficient software used for motion graphics and to learn as a graphic artist in motion. Nothing is more flexible & essential to a modern Motion Graphics workflow, although other programs can build motion design projects.
After Effects is an animation program in 2.5D, which means you can make virtually any animation you desire, as long as it doesn’t require 3D modeling (with some exceptions).
In general, After Effects is the primary program used once the storyboards and elements in Photoshop & Illustrator have been built together to animate & combine all of the Motion Graphic work.
Maya is the motion graphics best software for 3D modeling & animation used by the present business. It allows users to write scripts that extend the features beyond what only the built-in tools can allow.
Although it’s the Entertainment Industry’s go-to app, the learning curve is very steep. In Cinema 4D, you might very well spend your entire career without ever opening up Maya & being very good.
The time has arrived to leap into the 3D world. The software of choice is for most Motion Designers Cinema 4D. Sitting down right now, watching a tutorial & building something that is not inconceivable for you is very user-friendly.
Cinema 4D motion graphic software is commonly used in the Motion Graphics world to model, animate & simulate the effects. Here the emphasis on the term “motion graphics” is essential.
Although you’ll find studios all over Hollywood using C4D, it’s much more common to use applications like Maya for industry-level VFX work. Cinema 4D is also compatible with a couple of different GPU-accelerated rendering engines that allow you to render higher-quality 3D models on your computer more quickly.
Unreal Engine is the most accessible and advanced 3D development platform in the world. The fact that this wretchedly useful tool is free does not diminish its influence.
The developers continuously evolve the app, allowing designers to create awe-inspiring worlds across a range of industries.
You are missing out if you think this EngineEngine is just for games. It is a substation for the video game industry, but Unreal is often used in television, film & commercial productions. We can all afford a price tag & there’s no reason to miss this incredible playground.
A Planar-based tracking method is a better method for achieving screen replacement for the motion graphics artist.
Beyond merely tracking a cluster of pixels, Mocha AE is a motion graphic software for beginner monitors motion. It cannot be accessible at the initial stage, but it will be easy for you to monitor virtually every movement with ease after using its spline-based workflow.
This program is elementary, and with the camera data monitored, you can easily switch from AE to track a shot in Mocha and back up to the AE. Mocha AE makes these features the best choice for motion designers.
Software developed by Red Giant company is an excellent motion graphic software that produces some unique visuals for users. When artists have often been asked to finish projects within a tight deadline because of the concern for red giant software is good for the same thing.
The favorite plug-ins associated with red giant software help build special effects in less time for your projects that serve as an add-on to this favorite tool.
There are a lot of motion graphics tools and applications available on the market, and with their new features, you need to stay up to date with the trend and upcoming applications to hold the ball in your court. | [

Cincinnati’s historic Findlay Market was awarded $218,890 last week through the “Know Your Farmer, Know Your Food” initiative that was launched by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) in September to increase access to healthy, affordable local foods.
“We know that access to fresh, healthy food is good for our families and our communities,” said U.S. Representative Steve Driehaus about the “Know Your Farmer, Know Your Food” funding. “For years, people from across greater Cincinnati have found nutritious, local food at Findlay Market, and this smart investment will help ensure that the market continues to be a great resource for our area.”
The announcement comes on the heels of Findlay Market’s new Cultivating Healthy Environments for Farmers (CHEF) project that was launched in July 2009. CHEF is seen as an opportunity to recruit and train new urban growers, and compliment the City’s successful Urban Gardening Program.
Findlay Market was one of 16 organizations nationwide to receive funding through the “Know Your Farmer, Know Your Food” initiative. This funding will help fund food policy council training, urban agriculture, help promote native food sovereignty, food production projects, and community food assessments according to the USDA.
Findlay Market (map) is open year-round Tuesday through Friday from 9am to 6pm, Saturday 8am to 6pm, and Sunday 10am to 4pm. Free off-street automobile and bicycle parking is available and the market is well-serviced by Metro’s #21, 46, 64, and 78 bus routes. To see which route is most convenient for you, and to play your trip now, use Metro’s Trip Planner. | [

Monitoring and utilization are the first steps of an IoT journey. This is an umbrella phase which itself consists of many requirements.
For the large scale manufacturer, to enable seamless monitoring and utilization of their systems, the step usually comprises of:
- Asset Management
- Identifying assets that need to be monitored
- Leveraging existing instrumentation investments (if any)
- Adding new hardware capability (new sensors/actuators/microcontrollers) based on the design and requirements of the connected solution.
- Handle Connectivity
- Adding connectivity to devices as per above points (1) and (2). We would talk about various patterns, the device directly connected to the core platform; intercommunication between devices or a device gateway connected to the core platform which communicates with existing devices using a low level or existing proprietary protocols.

The first batch of Arsenal players, largely comprised of those who did not participate in international fixtures in June, returned to London Colney today for pre-season training, and, as ever, there was a strong contingent of young players involved in training with the main group.
There were nine first-team players who joined in full-training, with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Marouane Chamakh, Carl Jenkinson, Theo Walcott, Lukasz Fabianski, Ryo, Mikel Arteta, Aaron Ramsey and Kieran Gibbs all involved, whilst Jack Wilshere trained separately with the fitness coaches.
Emmanuel Frimpong did gym work indoors as he is still recovering from an injury sustained whilst on loan at Fulham, with Abou Diaby also currently sidelined. The next batch of players are due to return on Monday, with Wojciech Szczesny, Bacary Sagna, Per Mertesacker, Thomas Vermaelen, Laurent Koscielny, Tomas Rosicky, Lukas Podolski, Olivier Giroud and Gervinho all due to return in time for the club’s four-stop pre-season tour of Asia.
Santi Cazorla and Nacho Monreal, meanwhile, will be afforded several weeks off following their exploits with Spain at the Confederations Cup, whilst Yaya Sanogo is still participating in the U20 World Cup with France. Nicklas Bendtner is poised to depart the club, whilst a decision has yet to be made over Joel Campbell. Andre Santos’ loan deal with Gremio does not officially expire until the end of July, but Johan Djourou and Francis Coquelin have both already departed on loan for the forthcoming campaign to Hamburg and Freiburg respectively.
As far as the youngsters are concerned, Damian Martinez, Nico Yennaris, Thomas Eisfeld, Chuks Aneke, Serge Gnabry, Gedion Zelalem, Ignasi Miquel, Chuba Akpom and Kristoffer Olsson all trained with the first-team, with several members of that batch hoping to earn a seat on the plane for the trip to Asia.
The following young professionals were also present, but trained in a separate group, except for right-back Hector Bellerin, who is preparing for the U19 European Championships. The 18-year-old signed a new, long-term contract with Arsenal today. | [

1. The Department of Energy plans to continue using Hanford for radioactive nuclear waste dumping.
2. Washington's Governor Gregoire endorses the transportation of highly radioactive waste along Oregon Highways, I-5, I-84, I-97 as well as by rail to reach the Hanford dump knowing that by the estimates of the DOE a minimum of 800 people would die from this action, by transport via the highways alone. This is a low estimate supposing accidents were not added to the reality. The estimate of 800 has nothing to do with reported trucking accidents, only the drive-by radiation leakage into the communities through which the trucks are driving. There is no information required of shipments by rail.
3. It is time to put an end to the businesses in our community making supplies for nuclear weapons, making transport planes for nuclear weapons, and the production of materials supporting the spread of nuclear power plants.
4. It is time to tell Hanford and the Columbia Generating Station Nuclear Power Plant on the Hanford Nuclear Reservation that we say No to Nukes, No to Nuclear pollution in our environment, in our air, in our Columbia River waters and our food! No to the proliferation of nuclear industry in Portland.
5. We have no one in our local government, state or federal gov't monitoring the nuclear fallout of Fukushima in our food, water, or air in Portland or in Oregon. Only No Nukes NW is monitoring and this is not enough. We demand to be protected and alerted when radiation levels and fallout is on it's way to becoming alarming.
It is also time to protect the people of Portland by creating an ordinance to be voted on by our City Council to finally, once and for all, create a real nuclear free zone in Portland.
Join us in standing together for sanity in a nuclear free city in order to live without the fear of sickness and death from a nuclear accident or disaster.

Ensuring free and fair elections tops the list.
G Vinod, FMT
The opposition coalition, Pakatan Rakyat, made up of PAS, PKR and DAP, has made a 10-point demand to the government and topping the list is for the government to ensure free and fair elections.
Pakatan made its demands known at the Himpunan Kebangkitan Rakyat, attended by some 100,000 opposition supporters, at the historic Stadium Merdeka here today.
The list of demands was announced by PKR secretary-general Saifuddin Nasution at the rally.
“If we come to power we would change the course of the government, away from corruption and race-based policies and politics. No Malaysian would be pushed aside. We will also move in tandem with each other for a better life,” he said when presenting the demands.
Apart from wanting free and fair elections, Pakatan also wants the administration of Felda to be reviewed.
“We also demand that all Malaysians including those from Sabah and Sarawak be given equal treatment. We demand that all oil-producing states are given 20% of the oil royalty.
“We also want all government servants to be professional in the administration of the country,” he added.
Pakatan also wants the government to provide a healthy living environment to all Malaysians.
“The government should preserve Bahasa Malaysia while the usage of English should be upgraded. The government should also provide free education for all Malaysians,” said Saifuddin.
Pakatan also wants all political prisoners freed.
“We also want the government to preserve our tradition, culture and heritage. We demand a better life for all Malaysians,” he said. | [

For factories to enjoy peak overall efficiency effectiveness (OEE), device connectivity is essential to collect precise data. To improve the availability and performance rates of equipment as well as the quality of their output—the three factors that constitute OEE—factories can now take advantage of a number of connectivity solutions to capture valuable data in order to boost production.
OEE is authoritative because it carries a lot of information within one number; therefore, it is widely adopted as a yardstick to improve production on shop floors. A three-pronged approach that examines the availability, performance, and quality rates of machines gives factory managers a better understanding of what needs to be changed in their manufacturing process to reach peak production. Once problem areas have been identified, new technologies can be sought to address shortcomings in manufacturing processes.
Solutions to improve the availability rate of machines
Interpreting the working status of machines on a factory floor at all times is crucial to reduce downtime and improve network availability. Hence, real-time data is required to implement predictive maintenance. During production, different types of data on machine status can be generated, such as machine vibration, motor current, tool level, coolant level, and many more. Based on this data, machine maintenance engineers can schedule maintenance tasks in advance (predictive maintenance) to prevent any unexpected machine downtime. However, this data presents itself in different forms. One is streaming data, which is transmitted in large volumes and requires preprocessing before it is sent to a back-end system. The other is status data, which is transmitted in small volumes and via a transparent method without any preprocessing. Thus, different data collection methods are required.
For streaming data, the best method is to use front-end data processing to reduce the amount of data sent so that only valuable data is sent to the back-end system.
Solutions to improve the performance rate of machines
In a mixed-model production line, a programmable controller that supports multiple functions and interfaces—such as serial, DI/O, and AI/O—is a huge asset. A controller helps categorize production tasks by automatically retrieving the task sequence from a manufacturing execution system (MES). For example, tools are identified by an RFID tag, the controller retrieves the corresponding production method from the MES via RESTful API, and then notifies all the relevant machines via an industrial protocol such as EtherNet/IP, PROFIBUS, or Modbus. The production information can be retrieved via an IT protocol, such as RESTful API.
Solutions to improve the quality of machines’ output
Perfect production is characterized by zero defects, and once again, production data is the key to achieve zero defects. Two types of data are applicable: stable data (on/off status) and temporary data (generated over short periods and needs to be recorded without any missing parts). When the latter is generated, an alert should be sent immediately to operators that an interruption is occurring. As the quality of production is reflected in this temporary data, the challenge is to capture this data precisely. A ruggedly designed IIoT controller can collect precise data in harsh environments to keep line managers up-to-date about the status of all devices in the field.
In addition to the aforementioned solutions, there are even more options available to factories to upgrade their production technology and improve their OEE. For more information about these solutions, read our white paper: Device Connectivity Is the Key to Optimal OEE in Industry 4.0. | [

Fort Wayne, IN (PRWEB) September 11, 2012
Indiana Tech installed a wind turbine on its Fort Wayne campus on Friday to help engineering students learn about alternative energy sources.
The wind turbine tower is 120 feet tall, and the blades have a diameter of 26.5 feet making the total height about 134 feet. A turbine of that size is expected to generate between 700 and 1,000 kilowatt hours per month, which is about the amount of energy used by the average household in the United States, said Dr. John Renie, associate professor of mechanical engineering.
Indiana Tech offers a bachelor’s degree in energy engineering, and the wind turbine on campus will allow firsthand study of wind power. The operation of the turbine also will have applications in the mechanical engineering and electrical engineering programs.
“This an excellent teaching tool for our students,” Renie said. “We’ll have real-time monitoring equipment so that students and others can see how much energy is being produced.”
The wind turbine is located on Maumee Avenue, next to the Zollner Engineering Center. A 2010 gift from the Steel Dynamics Foundation will cover the $110,000 cost of the equipment, installation and software for the wind turbine.
The power produced by the wind turbine will flow back to the power grid because the university does not have any storage capacity, Renie said, and it will be credited to Indiana Tech’s electric bill. | [

I bought some part from Atlas Scientific for my thesis:
On the product data sheet one can find the following reference:
and the following sample code was given:
#!/usr/bin/python import serial print "Welcome to the Atlas Scientific Raspberry Pi example." usbport = '/dev/ttyAMA0' ser = serial.Serial(usbport, 9600) # turn on the LEDs ser.write("L,1\r") ser.write("C,1\r") line = "" while True: data = ser.read() if(data == "\r"): print "Received from sensor:" + line line = "" else: line = line + data
I really have no idea where to start. I just really needed the reading from the probe but I have no previous experience on using sensors and probes. I hope someone could help me. I already sent an email to the manufacturer but 4 days past no sample codes or other reference material can be provided. All these will run on a raspberry pi using a raspberry pi shield that I also bought from Atlas Scientific.

Charles "Buck" Jones hadn't yet fully established himself as a Western star, so it wasn't odd for him to ditch his horse in favor of horsepower, as he did in this lively, action-packed racing film. Halfway through a transcontinental auto race, Dutton Hardmere (Fred Erle) discovers foul play and enlists former champion Jack Darwin (Jones) to drive his Dorado. But Hardmere's rival shoots him from a plane flying overhead and he loses the competition. All is not lost, however, because Darwin lands a job as an actor and falls in love with Nadine (Laura Anson), an actress who is living with Hardmere's daughter Lorraine (Jacqueline Gadsdon). Another big race rolls around, and Darwin enters. In spite of the villain's attempts to get him out of the way, Darwin manages to stay in the competition. This time around, not only does he emerge victorious, he also saves Lorraine from marrying a scoundrel.
