We're reporting tonight from the just-ended 2010 Hawaii Seafood Symposium, titled “Making Sense of Seafood Health Benefits and Risks.”
The conference featured top international researchers studying the effects of fish, omega-3s, and mercury on human health and child development.
The symposium was organized by two U.S. agencies—the National Marine Fisheries Service and the National Seafood Inspection Laboratory—and a non-profit seafood advocacy group called The Hawaii Seafood Council.
Given the nature of the organizers, critics might say that the scientific deck was stacked in favor of researchers who want the U.S. EPA and FDA to recommend more seafood for children and pregnant/nursing mothers, compared to these agencies' current joint guidelines.
The organizing agencies may have pro-seafood biases, but the best available research on seafood risks and benefits keeps showing that the latter outweigh the former, by far.
In fact, the conference featured the most accomplished scientists in various areas of seafood and health research, such as psychiatrist Joseph Hibbeln, M.D. of NIH, pediatric neurologist and mercury expert Gary Myers, M.D., of the University of Rochester Medical School, and renowned neuroscientist Michael Crawford, Ph.D., of Imperial College London (For the full roster, click here).
We had illuminating conversations with many of the scientists in attendance… who issued a draft statement (see below) calling for urgent changes to the fish-intake guidelines issued jointly by the U.S. EPA and FDA… especially the agencies' overly cautious, hence potentially harmful intake advice for children and pregnant/nursing mothers.
We've read the FDA's draft review of the evidence and logically, it should have led to a rapid reform of the unintentionally harmful fish-intake limits currently advised for children and pregnant/nursing mothers.
The FDA draft report was attacked by some environmental groups and a section chief at sister agency EPA… but none of the critics provided substantial scientific reasons for their seemingly knee-jerk, fact-free reactions.
Sadly, the FDA still hasn't released its final report almost two years later, nor has it publicly proposed any of the changes that its draft report's findings supported by clear implication.
FDA inaction in face of evidence prompts scientists' new statement
Alarm over the FDA's failure to act, despite evidence of ongoing negative impacts of low omega-3s and fish intake among Americans—especially children and pregnant/nursing mothers—prompted scientists at the symposium to issue a statement directed at the FDA's inaction.
Release of this symposium statement follows the FDA's failure to even respond to a letter submitted by brain researchers Thomas Brenna, Ph.D., of Cornell University and Michael Crawford, Ph.D., of London Metropolitan University.
Here is the draft symposium statement in full... you'll see that we underlined some key points.
Draft Findings and Recommendations
Hawaii Seafood Symposium
Oct 20-22, 2010
Seafoods (including fish and shellfish but excluding marine mammals eaten in some cultures) are among the healthiest foods available to humankind.
Current science indicates that nutrients contained in seafood substantially benefit neurodevelopment and cardiovascular health. However appreciation of these health benefits has become lost in statements about potential harm.
The current guidance that limits seafood consumption to protect the public inadvertently causes harm it is intended to prevent. The current status of scientific knowledge indicates that the accuracy of the assessment of seafood benefits and risks can be greatly improved by adopting strategies that incorporate many variables as opposed to single elements of risk.
At this time, the requisite science has become sufficiently robust to support inclusion of the cardiovascular, neurodevelopmental and psychiatric effects of omega-3 fatty acids, selenium, methylmercury, and other seafood-related factors associated with benefits and risks into future assessments. In addition to improved accuracy, assessments that incorporate multiple variables will allow for the evaluation of additional risks and benefits as they become quantified.
Symposium Statement: Plain language version
Seafood including fish and shellfish is part of a healthy diet. Seafood in the diet provides consumers with brain and heart health benefits. The scientific evidence that these health benefits outweigh the theoretical risks is clear.
Omega 3s and other nutrients found in seafood are health-promoting. Selenium found in rich levels in ocean fish has essential anti-oxidant functions.
Selenium plays a protective role against methylmercury. For this reason risk analysis of methylmercury in seafood must also include the evaluation of selenium.
There is an urgent need to improve the public health message regarding seafood consumption by adequately weighing the scientific evidence of health benefits against theoretical risks.
Further guidance must communicate this message clearly and effectively to avoid the unintended consequences of reduced seafood consumption because seafood deficient diets cause increased risk of harm to the heart and brain.
We added underlining to highlight the key concepts:

Whenever you have found the variations that truly do accompany the most minimal conceivable house edges you ought to then invest as much energy as you require playing them for nothing until you have dominated playing off every conceivable hand when confronted with any Dealers hand.
The least demanding method for doing that anyway is by getting yourself a Blackjack Strategy card which will tell you the best way to play off each and every hand you could be managed out flawlessly!
Never Place the Insurance Side Bet
Whenever the Dealer has been managed out an Ace come what may hand you have been managed out you will be offered something known as the Insurance side bet, and that bet will cost you half of the sum you put on your base hand.
Assuming you are playing a multi-hand Blackjack game variation and you have a few hands in live play then you will actually want to take that side bet choice on any of your live hands or not by and large.
That side bet will pay out at chances of 2 to 1 it the Dealers hand ends up being a Blackjack hand that being any hand that notwithstanding the Ace has any 10 esteemed card managed out along the edge of it, that side bet is one that numerous players will be enticed to play.
Notwithstanding, that side bet accompanies a high house edge and as such despite the fact that you might be sure, hopefully not by mistake, that it is a decent wagered to put it isn’t, and as such all insightful and experienced Blackjack players are continuously going to decline that bet on every one of their live and in play hands, and that is something you ought to constantly reject as well!
A Few Perfect Strategy Moves
Whenever you are playing most variations of Blackjack there are a couple of ways that you ought to play off specific hands, regardless the base game and variation is, and considering that we will presently go to you a couple of the manners in which you ought to constantly play specific hand blends!
On the off chance that you are at any point managed out a couple of Aces, the best and most essential way for you to play off those kinds of hand mixes is for you to generally divide them to frame two new hands, yet remember you ought to constantly keep sufficient money for possible later use to perform such a move a you will not have the option to part a paid or Aces in the event that you need more cash to put down the extra wagered on the new hand shaped!
Assuming you are playing Blackjack in any playing climate and the two cards you are at first managed out are both 10 esteemed cards then the ideal playing methodology for playing off such a hand is to constantly stand those kinds of ands, regardless of whether the Dealers has a low esteemed card showing the absolute most effective way to play off a paid or 10 esteemed cards is to continuously stand such a hand, so ensure that is a normal thing for you!
Many Blackjack players will be enticed to play a portion of the a wide range of moderate variations that a lot of gambling club locales have on deal to their players, however remember such variations will frequently while perhaps not necessarily in all cases drive you to need to put down an extra side bet to get any opportunity what so ever of winning the dynamic bonanza appended to those games.
That side bet should be put on each and every hand you play off and are managed out and by ceaselessly putting down that side bet it will consume your Blackjack playing bankroll.
So the main time you ought to consider putting down such a side bet to get an opportunity of winning a dynamic big stake is assuming that ever-evolving bonanza is at an untouched high! In any case, most players and smart Blackjack plays will continuously try not to play such games as the side bet can be exorbitant assuming you play long Blackjack playing meetings!

A local resident, who is ineligible to vote in the election, is responsible for scheduling a free showing of a film with a point of view about presidential politics.
Hans Marsen said he became frustrated trying to explain his opposition to the Affordable Health Care Act passed into law at the urging of President Barack Obama. He decided that showing “The Determinators” will help others understand his view.
The 57-minute documentary-style film will be shown at 7 p.m. Friday at the Historic State Theater in Elizabethtown. Marsen arranged to get a copy of the film and raised money from “some doctor friends” to rent the theater and pay for printing and distribution of flyers.
The film, which is distributed by Tea Party Patriots’ organization, says quality and availability of care and access to physicians will be controlled by government under Obamacare because “whoever pays holds the power to decide.”
It includes interviews with Dr. C.L. Gray of Physicians for Reform; Kathryn Serkes of the Doctor Patient Medical Association; Grace-Marie Turner of the Galen Institute; Eric O’Keefe of Health Care Compact and Sally C. Pipes of the Pacific Research Institute and the author of “The Truth about Obamacare.”
Although Marsen is active in the state Tea Party Patriots organization, he said his work to provide this public showing is not a result of the organization but a personal mission.
“Having 650 people in the theater to see this, that’s what motivates me,” he said.
Marsen, who was born in Poland and raised in Germany, is a naturalized British citizen. He became enamored with America’s open governmental system when on a vacation in California and later moved to the states.
Because he is not a U.S. citizen and unable to vote, he said he hopes to “influence 10 people to vote” on his behalf.

South Korean shipbuilder Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI) has partnered up with Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI) with an aim to develop nuclear-powered vessels.
What is more, the partnership will be focused on developing floating nuclear power plants based on molten salt reactors (MSR) — the technology which has been emerging as a “zero-carbon energy source”.
As explained, the MSR is a type of small module reactor that has sparked interest as a carbon zero energy source able to respond to the recent climate crisis.
Through this agreement, SHI plans to tap into the market of MSR-based floating nuclear power generation plants and nuclear-powered vessels, the shipbuilder said on 9 June.
According to Jin-Taek Jung, CEO of SHI, the company intends to focus on R&D within the project so that the MSR -based technology can enable a new future growth engine. | [

ONO complains about Pay-TV being allowed on DTT
Cable service provider ONO has complained about the possible distribution of Pay-TV services on the DTT platform reports advanced-television.com.
The president Eugenio Galdon said that ONO will demand that the government holds new public tenders to re-award the DTT licences, arguing that the current model approved by government does not allow the distribution pay-per-view services.
Should the licence terms change, ONO would call on the government to re-issue the invitation to tender for the DTT licences.
Several pay-DTT trials have already taken place in Spain.

Gull LakeIs one of the most popular fishing lakes around and continues to produce great fishing
every year. Gull is loaded with largemouth bass, walleye, pan fish, pike, and plenty of other species. In the spring, crappies are the most sought after species until fishing “opener”, when the elusive walleye becomes a species in demand. Look for the crappies in the upper lakes on the chain such as Margaret, Upper Gull, and Roy Lake. You will also find crappies in Wilson Bay and other shallow bays, ditches and harbors. Locate the crappies with a casting bobber and some plastic bait. On those nice, warm spring days they will be up shallow (1-3 feet) chasing bait, and is it, cools down they will slide out into a little deeper water.
The walleyes will filter through the Gull Lake Chain with the majority of the fish moving from north to south. Look for walleye to be up shallow for the first month of the season, and eventually they will work their way out onto the mid-lake rock piles and other pieces of structure scattered throughout this fish factory. Look for bass and pike to be near the edges of large weed flats and rocky structure as the season moves into the summer months.
Cullen Lake Chain
Is one closest bodies of fishable water, which is tucked into the landscape and is good to fish if the wind is up. A lot of time is spent fishing crappies through the ice in the deep basin of the lake. Another extremely fun thing to do on the lake, is to fish bass with a top water bait. Look for the reeds during the warm water months and you will have action. Pike and blue gills are quite prevalent, as well.
Is another lake near Nisswa, which holds nice populations of all species. Walleye is a mainstay, and with the wide variety of structure in this lake, the fish have many spots they call home. With Pelican being a clear lake, most people like fish it on either windy or overcast days where the fish might not be as spooky.
Look for the walleye in 28-33 feet of water during the mid-summer months. They will hang shallow early in the season and will slide into the depths as fall and winter settle in. A silver jig tipped with a minnow can be good, but it is hard for the walleyes to pass up the juicy red tail chub. Watch the wind, the bait will pile up where the wind had been washing up to a particular edge, point or reef and the walleyes will be nearby. With a south wind, look for fish on the south side of the piece of structure or the north shoreline. Pelican is also popular night lake – trolling artificial baits over the shallow flats.
Is a bass factory and supports a nice population of pike, some nice walleye and good pan fish, as well. There has been a special regulation on Lake Hubert bass for the past few years. Read the signs at the access and make you know the current regulations. This has really helped increase the bass size, and it sure can be fun to cast the weed edges for these “garbage disposals.” Work the 10-16 foot depth range and you will find a mixed bag of fish.
Is just down the road and has a healthy population of fish. Nineteen feet seems to be the depth during early summer. This lake has a lot of pike and largemouth bass. The crappie population is slowly coming after it was once decimated by overfishing. Please keep what you can eat and put back the rest. This goes for all of our area lakes. Edward has a lot of reeds, and it is a perfect lake for casting when you want to do some” weed whippin.”
North Long Lake
Is a lake with three distinct body parts – Merrifield Bay to the east, the big lake in the middle
and the 371 bay to the west that runs up to the highway. The best landing is on the Merrifield Bay, and as long as the wind is not ripping out of the west you will be good to go. The depth of 19 feet is a good average on the lake for elusive walleye fishing. Walleye anglers should not be afraid to fish leeched during the summer months, although you might have a hard time working through the schools of bluegills.
The lakes are a large reason for the popularity of Nisswa and the surrounding communities. With the introduction of aquatic invasive species, we need to be extremely careful that we do all that we can to prevent the spread of this species. Please do your part and we will continue to have great fishing and fun on our area lakes. | [

The Morane-Saulnier M.S.229 was a version of the M.S.230 two-seat intermediate trainer that was produced for Switzerland during 1931. The M.S.230 was powered by a 250 Salmson 9Ab radial engine, while the M.S.229 was given a Hispano-Suiza 8Ac V-8 inline engine. Only two were produced, both in 1931. In the following year one was modified to use a Wright 9Qa radial.

Assessment and risk analysis of casing and cement impairment in oil and gas wells in Pennsylvania, 2000–2012
Anthony R. Ingraffea, Martin T. Wells, Renee L. Santoro, and Seth B. C. Shonkoff
Previous research has demonstrated that proximity to unconventional gas development is associated with elevated concentrations of methane in groundwater aquifers in Pennsylvania. To date, the mechanism of this migration is poorly understood. Our study, which looks at more than 41,000 conventional and unconventional oil and gas wells, helps to explain one possible mechanism of methane migration: compromised structural integrity of casing and cement in oil and gas wells. Additionally, methane, being the primary constituent of natural gas, is a strong greenhouse gas. The identification of mechanisms through which methane may migrate to the atmosphere as fugitive emissions is important to understand the climate dimensions of oil and gas development.

The third edition of International Yoga Day — also International Day of Yoga and World Yoga Day — is at hand, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi is heading to Uttar Pradesh this time to celebrate his brainchild with more than 50,000 people on Wednesday, June 21.
Also read: International Yoga Day 2017 LIVE updates
And the world will celebrate with him, because the United Nations — at Modi's urging — given its recognition to International Yoga Day and designated June 21 as when it will be celebrated.
The theme this time is "Yoga for Health," and according to the UN, "highlights the fact that yoga can contribute in a holistic way to achieving an equilibrium between mind and body."
On Wednesday, that is what Modi will look to achieve when he performs yoga along with 51,000 others at the Ramabai Ambedkar Maidan — also called the Ramabai Rally Sthal — in Lucknow.
Modi is expected to arrive at the venue by 6:30 am IST, speak on the occasion and perform yoga for an hour with the people till 9 am before leaving.
Preparations for the event are currently underway in full swing at the venue. "The place is majestic and arrangements are grand, the entire venue is bedecked in white and orange colour. I also took my mother and sister for rehearsals to give them a glimpse of how it would be like," one Mayuri Sahai — who is slated to perform yoga at the venue with Modi — told the Times of India.
Where to watch
The event will be voice-broadcast live from the venue on All India Radio. It will also be telecast live on Doordarshan National. The live telecast from 6:20 am IST can be seen here:
The event can also be watched live on mobile via the Narendra Modi app. Just go to the "Watch Live" section. | [

"EU Bank Regulators Plan Stress Tests to Examine Risks (Update2)
By John Rega
May 12 (Bloomberg) -- European Union bank regulators will conduct confidential stress tests by September, stepping up scrutiny of risks after lenders absorbed more than $1 trillion of losses and writedowns in the global financial crisis.
Regulators in the 27 EU countries will report overall data, not results for individual banks, to finance ministers and the EU’s executive arm, said Efstathia Bouli, a spokeswoman for the Committee of European Banking Supervisors in London. They don’t plan to publish the results.
The program, the second such review run by CEBS, examines sources of risks across financial markets, after EU states have pumped almost 3 They don’t plan to publish the results00 billion euros ($411 billion) of capital into lenders and offered 2.5 trillion euros in guarantees to help weather the crisis. The tests won’t assess banks’ capital needs, in contrast to the U.S. program completed last week.
“They don’t want to spook people by reporting big holes in the banking system, if that’s what they find,” Dominic Bryant, an economist at BNP Paribas in London, said in a telephone interview. Any such finding would “put pressure on banks to shore up their finances and be less risky in the future.”
After the crisis rippled through U.S. and U.K. banks, lenders in continental Europe, such as in Spain, are likely to make losses this year as their domestic economies contract, according to Bryant.
Among EU banks, losses and writedowns from the crisis have hit hardest in Britain, led by HSBC Holdings Plc and Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc, according to Bloomberg data.
U.S. regulators found that 10 financial companies led by Bank of America Corp. need to raise a total of $74.6 billion of capital, in results made public on May 8. Releasing the findings helped calm investors, said U.S. Comptroller of the Currency John Dugan, who oversees national banks, said today at a conference in Washington.
The tests are “an assessment of the European financial system, to test its resilience to shocks and to contribute to best practices,” Bouli at the CEBS said in a telephone interview. They are part of a “regular risk assessment” mandated by the EU’s executive arm, the European Commission.
The CEBS designed a “common scenario,” which won’t be disclosed, to see how banks would perform in such an environment, according to Bouli.
Kirsty Clay, a spokeswoman for the U.K.’s regulator, the Financial Services Authority, declined to comment immediately.
Policy makers in Europe “need to subject financial institutions to rigorous stress tests,” Marek Belka, director of the International Monetary Fund’s European department, told journalists in Paris today. “Impaired assets need to be isolated from the rest of the financial sector.” | [

BP denies report of oil leak in Gulf
BP issued a quick and emphatic denial Thursday after reports began circulating on the Internet about new leaks in its Macondo well, source of a massive Gulf of Mexico oil spill last year.
"None of this is true," the British oil giant said in a statement in response to reports it had deployed boats and containment boom to the well site. It noted the well was capped in July of last year, permanently sealed in September, and continues to be monitored.
BP also downplayed speculation that an oily sheen spotted elsewhere in the Gulf late last week was fed by leaks in two of its exploration wells, plugged years ago, in Green Canyon block 504 off the coast of central Louisiana.
BP deployed remotely operated vehicles over the weekend to survey the two wells. One was confirmed to be secure. At the other, samples were taken of "silty water" found near the well head, but preliminary test results showed no trace of oil or natural gas, company spokesman Daren Beaudo said.
Other companies with operations in the area, including Enterprise Products Partners and Shell Oil, also were notified by the Coast Guard about the sheen but found no leaks.
There's no clear evidence the sheen was tied to a leaking wellhead or subsea pipeline, said Cheri Ben-Iesau, commander of Coast Guard District 8 in New Orleans. It could be the result of natural oil seepage on the sea floor, she said.
The Interior Department's Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement, which regulates the offshore oil and gas industry in federal waters, was still investigating the source of the sheen.
The Macondo blowout last year killed 11 workers aboard the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig and unleashed the worst oil spill in U.S. history.
North Sea : Royal Dutch Shell PLC said Thursday an operation is under way to stop the leak at its Gannet Alpha platform after the worst North Sea oil spill in more than a decade. About 1,300 barrels of oil has spewed into the sea since a pipeline at Shell's Gannet Alpha platform was found to be leaking Aug. 12, the company said, though it claims that after shutting the well, only one barrel a day is leaking from the installation. The pipeline at platform, around 110 miles east of Aberdeen, Scotland, still contains up to 4,620 barrels of crude.
Yellowstone: The cleanup of a major oil spill in the Yellowstone River has proven more difficult than expected and could go on for several more months, an Exxon Mobil Pipeline Co. executive said Thursday. Areas hit hardest by the July spill should be cleaned up by the first half of October, said company vice president Geoff Craft. That includes a 20-mile stretch of the Yellowstone from the spill site near Laurel downstream to Billings. Slowing the cleanup effort has been the painstaking task of removing crude from hundreds of debris piles deposited by the same spring floodwaters that likely triggered the 12-inch pipeline's failure.

Finding the triggering factor (allergy) is often difficult detective work. Allergy diagnosis requires extensive analysis. It is not surprising, then, that doctors often ask what plants we grow in the apartment, what kind of hobby we do, or what our workplace looks like. Thanks to such information, it is easier to reach the allergy-causing factor. The next step is to perform a specialist allergy test.
First of all, the so-called a skin test, during which one examines the reaction to various substances.
The basic type of test is called point puncture test, consisting in the application of single droplets of solutions of various types of allergens to the inner surface of the forearm skin, followed by skin puncturing with a thin needle or a special lancet. The microscopic amounts of allergen get into the skin and after 15 minutes we read the skin’s reaction to individual substances.
If the test result is positive, there will be an oval redness of the skin with accompanying itching at the place of contact with the allergen (local swelling may also appear). The reaction is caused by antibodies against the given allergen contained in the skin.
There are different types of skin test:
1 Intradermal test
A small amount of allergen is injected into the skin with a tuberculin syringe, most often into the skin of the back.
2. Skin test
A test similar to the point test. Allergen is applied with droplets on the skin of the forearm, with the difference that before it scratches the epidermis with a special lancet.
3. Rubbing test
The allergen is rubbed directly into the skin. Symptoms in the form of redness, pruritus and edema indicate a positive reaction.
To finally confirm that this and not another allergen is responsible for the symptoms occurring, the so-called provocative tests. They consist in direct contact of the mucous membrane of the upper or lower respiratory tract with the allergen. It imitates the situation in which an asthma attack occurs. Allergen is administered as a solution spotted on the nasal mucosa or inhalation, followed by a reaction.
The nasal test is not dangerous, whereas the inhalation challenge must be performed under the supervision of a specialist, because it can cause a strong fit of breathlessness.
The most important thing is to avoid contact with substances that cause allergy symptoms, so-called “Allergen isolation”. Isolation is the first, basic step that should be taken after recognizing sensitization. Sometimes it is necessary to change the lifestyle. Domestic animals should be taken care of by family or friends. For people with asthma it is strictly forbidden to keep the animals at home, even if it is not the fur which is responsible for the allergy. The occurrence of sensitization to fur in this case is only a matter of time, even if it is absent at the moment. In addition to “allergen isolation”, it is essential to avoid situations that may lead to worsening of symptoms.
Avoid smoky places, going outside, when it is cold and humid or there is fog. In winter, avoid excessive temperatures in rooms and excessive air drying. When traveling by car, ventilators should not be turned on to avoid inhaling fumes from other cars. | [

Home »Space» Casio launches unique G-Shock watch in honor of Space Shuttle Columbia
The watchmaker has just unveiled a new limited edition of the iconic G-Shock in collaboration with NASA to pay tribute to the launch of the first space shuttle OV-102 STS-1
The 12 avril 1981, OV-102 STS-1 Columbia spacecraft exploded from Earth's surface, becoming the first space shuttle to reach space after 40 years. Watchmaker Casio has decided to honor NASA, imagining a G-Shock watch in Colombia color This new model DW5600NASA21-1 with a black case, a stainless steel foot and a white strap decorated with the American flag is available for pre-order from today on the brand's official website On the back of the case, the mark made sure to engrave a photo of the space shuttle, as well as his birthdays: 1981-2021
Barely forty years ago, astronauts John W. Young et Robert L. Crippen were aboard the Columbia spacecraft to participate in the launch of the very first space shuttle from the Kennedy Space Center. Colombia was commissioned in March 1979 and faced some unfortunate accidents, because despite he was supposed to fly 60 times before retiring, except it finally disintegrated on February 1 2003, when he entered the atmosphere. After four decades, space exploration has evolved considerably after the moon, NASA's last robots have landed on Mars. A manned flight was recently carried out to bring Frenchman Thomas Pesquet and his crew aboard the International Space Station on a new mission, and Elon Musk is currently working on the Starship launch, a reusable rocket. Use created by his company SpaceX
Available in limited edition on the official Casio website, this new G-Shock watch can be pre-ordered for 140 $ today

Ambassador Gordon Sondland testified under cross-examination from Rep. Devin Nunes and staff counsel that President Trump told him during a September phone call that Trump “wanted nothing” from Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky.
“President Trump, when I asked him the open-ended question, as I testified previously, ‘What do you want from Ukraine?’ His answer was, ‘I want nothing, I want no quid pro quo. Tell Zelensky to do the right thing.‘ That’s all I got from President Trump.”
Asked if he knew that Rudy Giuliani was pushing the investigations on Trump’s behalf, he referred to his previous, closed-door testimony.
“I’m not going to dispute what I said in my deposition. I made the call and I asked as I said the open-ended question: ‘What do you want from Ukraine?’ That’s when I got the answer. He was unequivocal, ‘nothing.'” | [

"6 Million Paperclips: The Making Of A Children's Holocaust Memorial" --the Movie (Rec for Children in Grades 5+ & their families)
A showing of the movie: (84 min length)
Six Million Paper Clips: The Making Of A Children's Holocaust Memorial
From Amazon: "The true story of students who helped quantify the horrors of the Holocaust
At a middle school in a small, all white, all Protestant town in Tennessee, a special after-school class was started to teach the kids about the Holocaust, and the importance of tolerance. The students had a hard time imagining what six million was (the number of Jews the Nazis killed), so they decided to collect six million paperclips, a symbol used by the Norwegians to show solidarity with their Jewish neighbors during World War II. German journalists Dagmar and Peter Schroeder, whose involvement brought the project international attention, tell the dramatic story of how the Paper Clip Project grew, culminating in the creation of The Children's Holocaust Memorial."

Music Sales Australia’s newly appointed A&R Manager Larry Heath (Heath Media, The AU Review) has made his first signing since joining the independent publisher.
Bellingen-born, UK-based singer-songwriter Jack Carty has inked a global music publishing deal with Music Sales’ publishing imprint Embassy Music Publishing.
Carty, who has co-written with the likes of Dan Wilson (Adele, Taylor Swift), Josh Pyke and Katie Noonan, first caught the attention of Heath seven years ago in Canada.
“[I’ve] been watching him develop as a songwriter and a performer ever since,” said Heath. “He’s grown into one of the finest contemporary songwriters in Australia, and I’m thrilled to have him join the Embassy Music Publishing family, as well as to have such a phenomenal talent as my first signing.”
Carty is already a decorated artist, counting a national MusicOz award, a biannual APRA Professional Development Award, and a placing in Rhythms Magazine‘s list of Top 10 albums of 2016 (Home State), among his accolades.
In fact, Home State debuted at #1 on the AIR Independent album chart last year, #36 on the ARIA Album Chart, and Such was was picked up for release in the UK by Gilded Lily/Absolute. | [

Hi, I'm using FRDM-KL26Z board with IAR EWARM 7.20.
I just bought this board and I'm new to it. I want to use the 16 bit ADC.
I'm curious whether the MCU can accept negative voltages at the ADC input pins.
I want to plug a sine wave
(-1 ~ 1 volts peak-to-peak which has frequency of 1000) using a function generator.
Can the MCU read the negative voltages and convert it?
If so, what configurations are needed?
- Best Regards, David | [

Hydrocarbon production is a complex and dynamic process lasting many years, during which huge volumes of fluids, with varying degrees of viscosity and corrosiveness, are set into motion.
DEVELOPING INCREASINGLY EFFECTIVE RECOVERY TECHNIQUES
For an oil or gas field to be profitable, it is crucial to maximize its production. This is why our teams at the CSTJF put all their efforts into developing the best possible recovery techniques. They do this by calculating well trajectories for optimal drainage of the reservoirs and by estimating the quantities of oil, gas and water produced by a field in its lifetime. Our experts draw on their knowledge of the geology of the area to predict, for each reservoir type, the behavior of the hydrocarbons during production, particularly their ability to flow into the well. In this way, they methodically appraise and neutralize any elements likely to clog or corrode the pipes and thereby hinder production.
Optimizing production and evaluating performance
Some of the major issues for field operations specialists include anticipating production decline, preventing the alteration of production facilities, extending the lifetime of our sites in optimal safety conditions, adapting recovery processes to each reservoir and studying the physico-chemical evolutions of the hydrocarbons produced during a field’s production life.
To enhance the productivity of our fields, the CSTJF has all the necessary resources to improve current techniques and design new ones. And it’s the affiliates of the Group’s Exploration & Production branch that benefit from them.
Our teams have developed new software programs that they have deployed in process control systems for oil and gas fields. These programs systematically optimize production in real time, 24/7, on all wells simultaneously.
And because we know how to anticipate, we are capable of installing made-to-measure pumps for the development of fields in the deep offshore. To prevent pressure drops for example, we use electric submersible pumps (ESP), and to manage excess quantities of associated gas and water, we make use of multiphase pumps (MPP) able to pump a mixture of liquids directly from the production stream rather than having to separate them first. | [

The Model 1892 is the slickest, smoothest and easiest handling levergun ever offered and Chiappa’s reproduction Puma version in stainless steel will please a lot of enthusiasts and hunters,
This Italian-made levergun combines plenty of nostalgia with all the advantages of a modern cartridge. One of the most popular Winchester lever-actions was the 1892 Model. John Browning designed this repeater as a scaled-down version of the already popular Model 1886, a super-strong big-game rifle that had proven capable of handling some of the most popular and powerful cartridges of its day. The ‘86 was the first of the famous Browning designs to be produced by Winchester. In developing the ‘92, Browning merely simplified the mechanism and his design was scaled down to assume the role of a more compact rifle. In real terms the ‘92 was nothing more than the 86’s little brother, and a modern successor to the famed Winchester ‘73.
It was chambered for the.32-20,.38-40 and.44-40 – loads that had been very popular in the ‘73, and it was later chambered for the then new.25-20 round. Light and handy the smooth-working ‘92 became more popular than the parent ‘86, surviving well into the 20th century and selling more than a million copies. For decades it was so often used in western movies that one could be forgiven for thinking that it was the gun that won the west rather than the Model 1873. | [

Farmers, feed manufacturers, retailers and consumers are all on the hunt for alternative sources of protein pushing up demand and the imagination to new boundaries.
Many products based on protein plants or insects have already found their way into the supermarkets, but established companies in the food industry and countless start-ups are researching different food concepts based on an unmanageable variety of alternative protein sources. Speaking at the virtual EuroTier exhibition 2 start-up companies delivered some details of their research and the products they bring to the market.
First up was Deniz Ficicioglu, the co-founder of Nordic Oceanfruit that develops salads, toppings, burger patties and more based on fresh seaweed. She outlined the benefits of using seaweed citing that it is a zero input crop that doesn’t need arable land, water, fertiliser or pesticides to grow. Deniz said: “In coastal regions fertilisers and pesticides are swept into the ocean from arable land. Seaweed is a wonderful resource that can help with the problem of acidification and also the loss of habitat. The more seaweed is cultivated the more fish will return, a bit like a reforestation of the ocean.” She added that seaweed was a very valuable alternative protein and is a good alternative career for fishermen who are ruining the oceans.
The more seaweed is cultivated the more fish will return, a bit like a reforestation of the ocean.”
“However, one of the problems with seaweed is that we are not quite ready to eat it yet and that is why we looked at demand,” said Deniz. “Seaweed is something that delivers much more than protein such as omega and fatty acids. “There are only 2 types of seaweed harvested in Europe yet there are thousands to choose from. It really has a lot of untapped potential,” she said. Nordic Oceanfruit already has consumer products in 750 different stores.
Thomas Kuhn, one of the founders at FarmInsect, outlined how his company gels well with consumers and agriculture alike. He said his company was formed to try and help with offering more sustainable protein and reduce the reliance on soya from Brazil that leads to the cutting down of the rainforests. Thomas said: “We want to make animal husbandry more sustainable and efficient. For this we use insects and the concepts of the circular economy. The challenges and needs of farmers are the focus of our efforts.
We want to make animal husbandry more sustainable and efficient. For this we use insects and the concepts of the circular economy.”
“With our innovative approach for regional insect breeding, we want to give farmers the prospect of producing their protein feed themselves. Insects have been approved as feed for farm animals in the EU since 2017 and offer the potential to replace the import of soy or fish meal with a regional and sustainable solution. With FarmInsect we make this potential available to the farmer,” he said.
Thomas added that the prices of soy and fishmeal have gone up significantly over the past 20 years, and that by using insects farmers can save up to 20% of their feed costs in the future.
Professor Wilhelm Windisch, Technical University of Munich, added: “The circular economy of agricultural biomass is the key to environmentally friendly and resource-efficient agriculture.
“Insects in particular help us to close regional cycles that would be difficult to reach with conventional farm animals. Insects produce high-quality protein for use as animal feed and food.” | [

Plans by sixteen of Burma’s ethnic armed organisations to draft a nationwide ceasefire agreement in December this year has been put back until the New Year.
Padoh Mahn Mahn, joint secretary of the Karen National Union, spoke to Karen News.
“We are holding a second round of discussions or conference on the draft nationwide ceasefire agreement that has been developed by the ethnic organizations. After that, we will follow it up with how we can move it onto the national political agenda.”
A member of the KNU ethnic conference preparation committee confirmed to Karen News that the planned meeting for December for the ethnic armed organizations has now been postponed and will be rescheduled for early January.
Padoh Mahn Mahn pointed out to Karen News that the ethnic organisations have had discussions on what its strategy should be in future talks with the government and added that at a recent KNU meeting a number of critical issues related to the governments proposed census were identified that needed to be urgently discussed.
“We talked about what our approach with the government negotiators should be. And we discussed the [proposed] nationwide census that is to be conducted by the government.”
Padoh Mahn Mahn said the KNU were particularly concerned that the proposed national census would classify all the various Karen ‘groups (Sgaw, Pwo, Bwe, Paku for example) under a single category – Karen.
The KNU said that it was essential all the 15 ethnic groups attend the second round of talks.
P’doh Thaw Thi, joint secretary of the KNU and the chairperson of the ethnic conference preparation committee told Karen News that the postponement of the December meeting was to give members time to organize.
P’doh Kwe Htoo, the general secretary of the KNU said that the postponement was decided following a meeting held among the conference preparation committee members.
“The time was tight for the conference preparation committee to prepare for the event. Other ethnic representatives were consulted and we ensure that it will not affect our political process.” | [

Residents of Madagali and Gulak in Adamawa State had fled their town following attack by members of the dressed Islamic sect, Boko Haram on Monday night.
Audu Bakoji, a local vigilante in the area told DAILY POST that the attack commenced at about 7: 30pm as the insurgents stormed the village and opened fire on residents.
He said they have seen corpses of six people as they fled the town of Madagali last night, as the insurgents’ fierce attack could not give them chance to count deaths and damages.
According to him, there were no security to defend the people as the few that were left in the towns also took to their heels to avoid being killed.
“We all fled, both the local vigilante and soldiers. They came with massive power and nobody can dare them because there are few security operatives in the area and those that were patrolling also ran away,” he added.
It was gathered that the insurgents had mobilised and were heading to Gulak, the headquarters of Madagali local government, during which they attacked villages, particularly Bakin Dutse.
Although calm is said to have returned, there was no report that the military repelled the insurgency.
Adamawa state governor, who also confirmed the incident to newsmen said soldiers have been mobile to the areas and calm has returned.
He pleaded with residents who fled to return home, adding that security operatives were on top of the situation.
Residents, however, were said to be living the area as at this morning, Tuesday, despite the plea, as according to them, they have seen more dangers than those calling on them to return. | [

Ford announcement proves sedans are another victim of the SUV boom
In what was one of the biggest announcements in the car industry this year, Ford has revealed it is preparing to axe traditional sedans from its North American line-up. This marks a break from tradition, as sedans were previously Ford’s most popular body type and the US its biggest market for them.
But the announcement was no surprise. In 2017 Fiat Chrysler decided to stop producing two of its latest sedans, Chrysler 200 and Dodge Dart, following poor sales. In the last five years, consumers in the US have been rapidly shifting away from sedans and towards more appealing SUVs. The introduction of lighter and more fuel-efficient SUVs has led to huge demand for the segment.
Despite overall demand for cars in the US having grown, with 13.2 million units sold in 2008 and 17.2 million sold last year, demand for sedans has stalled. In 2009, sedans posted an impressive market share of 39% – 12 points higher than the share held by SUVs. But last year sedans registered their lowest market share since 2001 at 27%. Simultaneously, the popularity of SUV has boomed – jumping from a 25% market share in 2008 to 41% in 2017. It simply comes down to the fact that consumers want SUVs and car makers can equip them with better features than regular sedans.
Case in point: many small and compact SUVs have become more fuel-efficient than traditional sedans. In 2008 the average combined consumption of a Ford Focus was 28 mpg against 22.8 mpg for the Ford Escape. The 2017 models showed that the Focus recorded an average of 23.6 mpg, while the Escape outperformed the sedan with an average of 24.9 mpg.
The 2008 Toyota Corolla model registered an average of 30 mpg against 22 mpg for the Toyota Rav4. Nine years later, the newer generations have helped to improve the average by 1.8 mpg in the case of the Corolla and 4.3 mpg in the case of the Rav4. This proves that SUVs are closing the gap on sedans in terms of fuel efficiency. Even smaller SUVs are beating the subcompacts. The Honda HR-V has an average combined consumption of 29.5 mpg, which is better than Chevrolet Sonic’s at 29.3 mpg, and very close to Ford Fiesta’s at 29.6 mpg.
Europe and China
This trend is not exclusive to North America. China is now the world’s largest market for sedans with almost 10 million units sold last year, counting for 39% of the market’s total sales. Despite this strong presence, last year marked the first time that sedans didn’t dominate the majority of the Chinese market. They were overtaken by SUVs, whose market share grew from 38% in 2016 to 42% in 2017.
In Europe, hatchbacks have been the main victim of the SUV boom, as sedans had never played a key role in the market. However, even though sedans only have a small presence in Europe, their position is still being hampered by the SUV invasion. Their market share was just 8% in 2008 and it hasn’t stopped falling since. Last year, sedans represented just 4.5% of total car registrations (693,600 units) in Europe. This has led to car makers deserting the segment; consumers can no longer find the 4-door versions of the Focus, Astra or Golf, and mainstream brands like Nissan, Fiat, Citroen and Honda no longer offer midsize sedans.
Lighter, more appealing and more fuel-efficient SUVs are winning the battle against sedans and this will only accelerate if fuel prices start to increase again. Ultimately, consumers will base their purchases on how appealing the vehicles on the market are – and in an industry where big has now become better, sedans won’t stand much of a chance. | [

I choose to believe because believing helps me to have HOPE for a better world AND to feel PEACE in the midst of this troubled one. I must admit that this pandemic has not been too much of a road bump for me. I have enjoyed extra family time, I have loved having church at home, and I have also improved my focus on studying various gospel topics. I am so thankful for a living prophet on the earth and how his words bring me comfort.
I know that the Lord loves me because I have seen His hand in my life so many times. How can I not believe, when I know that He is very aware of me? I feel that believing is so much easier than not believing! I definitely feel His strength every day helping me to become the person He wants me to become. | [

Sooryavanshi vs Eternals: Akshay Kumar-Katrina Kaif starrer to clash with Marvel film on Diwali
- Akshay Kumar, among many others, thanked Maharashtra CM for allowing cinema halls to reopen in the state. Check out his post here.
Akshay Kumar’s much-awaited film, Sooryavanshi is all set for a theatrical release this Diwali. Directed by Rohit Shetty, Sooryavanshi will feature Akshay alongside Ranveer Singh, Ajay Devgn, Katrina Kaif and Gulshan Grover.
With this, Sooryavanshi will face a box-office clash with Eternals. Earlier this month, Disney had announced that the superhero movie will be released worldwide in theaters on November 5. Eternals features Salma Hayek, Angelina Jolie and Richard Madden. Diwali falls on November 4 this year.
Akshay Kumar welcomed Maharashtra’s decision to reopen cinema halls in the state from October 22 and announced the release date for his film. He shared a picture from the sets of the film and wrote, “So many families would be thanking Sh Uddhav Thackeray today! Grateful for allowing the reopening of cinema halls in Maharashtra from Oct 22. Ab kisi ke roke na rukegi - AA RAHI HAI POLICE #Sooryavanshi #Diwali2021 @itsrohitshetty @ajaydevgn @ranveersingh @katrinakaif @reliance.entertainment @dharmamovies @tseries.official #CapeOfGoodFilms.”
Rohit had also shared a picture with Maharashtra CM and wrote on social media, “Thanks to our Honourable Chief Minister, Shri Uddhav Thackeray, theatres in Maharashtra to reopen from 22nd October. And FINALLY!!! we can say, This DIWALI…AA RAHI HAI POLICE.”
After initially being slated for a March 2020 release, Sooryavanshi had to be postponed following the pandemic outbreak early last year. A Diwali 2020 release was also planned but could not be materialised. Another release date, April 30, 2021, could also not be kept because of various Covid-19 related restrictions across the country.
After Akshay Kumar’s BellBottom hit theaters in July and had a dismal show at the box office, distributors and exhibitors had been urging Maharashtra government to reopen cinemas. The state forms a major portion of box office collection for Hindi films in the country. On Saturday, a delegation of filmmakers and theatre owners including Shetty met Thackeray to discuss the reopening of cinema halls across Maharashtra.
Sooryavanshi is the fourth film in Rohit Shetty’s ‘cop universe’. He has had the hit Ajay Devgn films, Singham and Singham Returns. He also had Ranveer Singh-Sara Ali Khan-starrer Simmba. | [

Urea removal by neonatal hemo(dia)filters in hyperazotemic rabbits.
Intensive Care Medicine
OBJECTIVE: Comparison of three neonatal hemo(dia)filters (FH22, Gambro; Minifilter Plus, Amicon; Miniflow 10, Hospal) for removal of urea by venovenous hemofiltration (HF) and venovenous hemodiafiltration (HDF). DESIGN: Filters were successively used for HF with two different blood flows (Qb = 8.3 and 16.6 ml/ min) and for HDF with the two different blood flows and four dialysate flows (Qd = 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 l/h). SUBJECTS: 21 anesthetized adult New Zealand White rabbits infused with urea. MAIN RESULTS: Urea clearance was significantly increased by HDF compared to HF regardless of blood flow, dialysate flow, and the hemo (dia)filter type except in the FH22 group, when blood flow was high and dialysate flow was 0.5 or 1.0 l/h. The FH22 filter allowed the best urea clearance during HF at high blood flow. During the HDF procedures, the Miniflow 10 allowed the highest urea clearance regardless of blood flow and dialysate flow.

Internet policymakers and industry leaders are hailing the Obama Administration's plan to upgrade all federal websites and e-government services over the next two years to support IPv6, the long-anticipated upgrade to the Internet's main communications protocol.
The plan was released today by Federal CIO Vivek Kundra, who issued a memo requiring all federal agencies to upgrade their public-facing Web services -- including Web, email, DNS, and ISP services – to native IPv6 by Sept. 30, 2012.
[ IPv6 laggards have to watch out for another pitfall in the transition: the black market for IP addresses, as reported by InfoWorld's Mel Beckman. | Get expert networking how-to advice from InfoWorld's Networking Deep Dive PDF special report. ]
The Kundra memo establishes a second deadline of Sept. 30, 2014 for federal agencies to upgrade internal client applications that communicate with public Internet servers to use native IPv6. Each agency is required to designate an IPv6 transition manager to direct IPv6-related activities, and they must purchase network hardware and software that complies with the federal government's IPv6 testing process.
"This [memo] is the single largest impetus for change that I've seen in the last few years," says Ram Mohan, executive vice president of Afilias, which operates.info and a dozen other Internet domains. "It's going to make network providers who are on the fence about IPv6 jump off the fence because the federal government is now speaking very clearly that it is going to adopt IPv6 fully. I think it will push them to make the capital investments that are necessary to adopt IPv6. It comes at a good time because this is budget season in corporate America."
The federal IPv6 directive "is very good for IPv6 deployment in the United States," says John Curran, President and CEO of the American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN), which doles out IPv4 and IPv6 addresses to network operators in North America. "It's also encouraging that it follows the historic practice in the U.S. in that the emphasis is on coordination and on the federal government as a user of IT. It's not a regulatory or prescriptive direction."
Kundra released the IPv6 memo in conjunction with an IPv6 workshop held by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) today. The workshop featured high-profile executives from government, industry and Internet policymaking organizations who urged the federal government to set a deadline for IPv6-enabling their websites.
The workshop represented the first time the Obama Administration has given IPv6 any publicity in the 21 months it has been in office. Indeed, government insiders said Kundra didn't ask them about agencies' progress on IPv6 until last week, when he began preparing for NTIA's workshop. | [

Precise casing-wear prediction is important for improving well integrity and longevity, while simultaneously making casing designs more cost-effective. Currently, there are no known and commonly accepted guidelines available in the industry. Several studies have been presented in literature over the past couple of decades that proposed various methods for estimating the downhole wear in casings. However, the results of all such efforts have been mixed. Predicted values of casing wear using wear models failed to accurately match the wear logs from the wells when scaled up to the field level. This has led to a perception in the industry that existing casing-wear prediction methods lack the desired accuracy.
Many of these suspicions are unwarranted and have emerged because of inconsistencies in accurately applying the casing-wear model. Kumar and Samuel (2015) have previously presented a comprehensive treatise on all the uncertainties involved in casing-wear analysis and the underlying modeling method and parameters. This article proposes a new modeling method for casing-wear prediction using stiff-string analysis, aiming to reduce the existing uncertainties in downhole wear estimation. In addition to estimating more accurate side forces, the stiff-string model also predicts the contact position of the drillstring at any given depth in the casing. These contact positions, at any given casing depth cross-section, are used to model the development of multiple wear grooves around the cross-section, as various wellbore operations are conducted through the casing. Further details of this modeling method have been presented in this study.
The proposed model has been validated using measured wear-log data from an offshore well in the North Sea. The value of the maximum wear-groove depth, along with its respective azimuthal location at that casing cross-section measured using the wear logs, were compared with the simulated values for the entire logged-casing section.
This modeling approach has been slightly modified while being applied to address the different kinds of operations that are performed to successfully drill a well. Five major operations are considered in this analysis—drilling, backreaming, rotating off-bottom, sliding, and reciprocation. This study focuses on wear caused only by the above operations, which can be performed in different sequences to reach the target depth. Other possible reasons for downhole wear, such as erosion while fracturing, corrosion, or any other mechanical wear during production, are not considered in this analysis.
For the drilling and backreaming operations, Eq. 1 has been applied for analysis. The drilling or backreaming operation starts from a given measured depth, and the drill bit progresses farther down (drilling) or up (backreaming) the hole to reach the target end depth for that operation. As a result, the tool-joint contact with the inner casing wall varies as the drillstring moves down or up the hole. The last factor in Eq. 1, the ratio of tool-joint length over drillpipe length, is applied to account for this contact resulting from tool joints only. The average side force supported by the tool joints is calculated using Eq. 2, assuming that the entire load is taken solely by the tool joints and there is no pipe-body contact.

Lobbyists may be prohibited from buying lawmakers’ drinks, but apparently what goes underneath those drinks is fair game.
A reader forwarded this photo of a coaster that has been popping up in bars all over Albany, compliments of the state’s libraries.
The coaster is simple, direct and memorable way for libraries to urge legislators to fully fund their state aid at $102 million, as stiuplated in state Education Law. Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s 2014-15 budget included a 4.7 percent cut to library aid, providing just $81.6 million — the same amount that libraries and library systems received 16 years ago in 1997.
The coasters have been making appearances at establishments frequented by both legislators and legislative aids. This photo was taken at Pinto & Hobbs Tavern on Washington Avenue, but the coasters have also been spotted at Center Square Pub and LAX Lounge, and anecdotal reports place them at McGeary’s and The Victory Cafe, too.
So far, no one I’ve spoken to can recall ever seeing this tried before.
UPDATE: Mike Neppl, director of government affairs for the New York Library Association, sent me the following explanation of this initiative:
“NYLA is a statewide organization with 4000 active members, but we have a small staff. I needed a time and cost efficient way to get our message to policymakers that funding should reflect what New Yorkers have long recognized – libraries are a core component of our state’s educational infrastructure on which our children, families and seniors rely.”
“Having worked in government, I know that breaking through the wall of noise is difficult. So, why not get our message in people’s hands after-hours when they’re a bit more relaxed and might be more receptive? They’ve been in action for a week or so, and have gotten a great reception from members and staffers. Plus, they’re different. NYLA brought me on to ramp up our advocacy efforts and do things differently.” | [

The seabed a water depth of 750 m (2,460 ft) was dredged at around the damaged area of the pipeline. An ROV maneuvered the two steel half-shells of the clamp into position and pre-tightened the bolts. FoundOcean then connected the hose to the inlet valve on the clamp and delivered the grout using its deepwater grouting umbilical system. Due to the extra load, a fabric formwork was installed under the clamp to provide more support.
In total 28 metric tons (30.86 tons) of cement was used: 4 metric tons (4.4 tons) for the clamp and 24 metric tons (26.46 tons) for the fabric formwork.
The pipeline damage resulted from an anchor drag during bad weather. | [

Israel Shuts Down Offshore Gas Field After Violence
Israel, a key player in the regional energy sector, has taken a significant step in response to recent violence in the area. The Israeli government has decided to suspend production at the Tamar gas field, a major offshore energy asset. This move comes in the wake of escalating tensions and security concerns after three days of violence in the region. Here, we delve into the implications of this decision and its potential impact on Israel’s energy landscape.
The Tamar gas field, located off Israel’s southern coast, has been a critical source of natural gas for the nation’s power generators and industrial sector. Operated by Chevron, this offshore facility has played a pivotal role in meeting Israel’s energy needs. However, recent events have prompted the Israeli energy ministry to take action.
Violence Sparks Shutdown
The decision to shut down the Tamar gas field follows a violent incursion by Hamas gunmen from the Gaza Strip into Israeli territory. This incident marked the deadliest intrusion in Israeli territory in half a century, comparable to the attacks by Egypt and Syria during the Yom Kippur war 50 years ago. The proximity of the Tamar field to the northern Gaza Strip has raised concerns about its vulnerability to rocket fire.
Alternative Fuel Sources
The Israeli energy ministry, in response to the security situation, has ordered the temporary suspension of natural gas supplies from the Tamar field. To ensure the nation’s energy needs are met, the power industry is now preparing to utilize alternative fuels to operate its stations. This shift underscores the importance of diversifying energy sources for national security and stability.
Impact on Israel’s Energy Landscape
The Tamar gas field has been a cornerstone of Israel’s energy sector for a decade, transforming the nation into a major regional gas supplier. In 2022 alone, Tamar’s production surged by 18% to reach 10.25 billion cubic meters, according to government data. The decision to suspend production at this critical facility highlights the vulnerabilities associated with relying heavily on a single energy source, particularly in a geopolitically volatile region.
It’s essential to understand the ownership structure of the Tamar gas field to grasp the broader implications of this decision. Chevron holds a 25% stake in Tamar, while Isramco possesses 28.75%. Additionally, the United Arab Emirates’ Mubadala Petroleum has a 22% stake, Tamar Petroleum owns 16.75%, Dor Gas holds 4%, and Everest has a 3.5% stake. The diverse ownership reflects the international collaboration that has characterized Israel’s gas sector in recent years.
Leviathan Field Continues
While the Tamar gas field is facing a temporary shutdown, Israel’s largest offshore gas field, Leviathan, continues to operate without disruptions. This underscores the importance of having multiple energy assets to maintain a stable energy supply and mitigate potential risks.
Israel’s decision to suspend production at the Tamar gas field is a significant response to recent violence in the region. It highlights the need for energy diversification and the importance of safeguarding critical energy assets in geopolitically sensitive areas. As the situation evolves, Israel will continue to explore alternative fuel sources to ensure its energy security, emphasizing the importance of adaptability and resilience in the energy sector. | [

Associated Press reporter Michael Virtanen is now offering a nice piece on the Adirondack Public Observatory:
The not-for-profit Adirondack Public Observatory in its first year has raised about $40,000 toward a $500,000 goal, according to board members. They have chosen a site in Tupper Lake, about 110 miles north of Albany. The parcel, at 1,600 feet in elevation, overlooks the town beach and campground at Little Wolf Pond.
“We are in what’s called a dark puddle here,” Staves said, noting the contrast in nighttime satellite images of the Earth. “We can actually see the Milky Way, which is something you can’t actually see most places now.”
The observatory had been offered a spot near the new Natural History Museum of the Adirondacks being built on the other side of the village. The reason it wasn’t? “there was too much light pollution from nearby Sunmount hospital, said Jan Wojcik, observatory board member.”
Great planning folks… the lights from a hospital reduce the overall impact of having both facilities within walking distance. Imagine the draw for something like that – now imagine how many visitors to the new museum will leave the museum, climb into their car, and drive to the observatory – we’ll guess not too many.
Apparently some planners in Tupper Lake neeeds a lesson on light pollution.
MSNBC has a nice image (on a screwy web page) of light pollution in New York.
By the way, the Natural History Museum construction is well under way. | [

(CNN) — Emmanuel Macron will serve a second term as France’s president — the first person to do so since 2002 — according to pollsters’ projections.
His victory over his right-wing rival, Marine Le Pen, by a relatively comfortable margin of 58.2% to 41.8%, will be greeted with a huge sigh of relief in the capitals of France’s most prominent allies, notably in Brussels, headquarters of the European Union and NATO.
Le Pen could almost be purposely constructed to be someone the leaders of the Western alliance would least like to run a country as important as France.
France is a member of NATO, the European Union and the G7. It has a permanent seat on the UN Security Council and is a nuclear power. Yet despite its deep roots in these pillars of the Western order, France also historically favors an autonomous foreign policy, meaning it can act as an intermediary between the US-led Western order and nations such as Iran, China and Russia.
Le Pen’s previous ties to Russia, her lukewarm view of NATO and her hostile view of the EU meant her victory would have rattled cages around the world.
However, if the projections are correct, the scale of Macron’s victory tonight will cut short the celebrations for many French allies. Far from Macron’s impressive victory in 2017, where he comfortably defeated Le Pen with 66% of the vote, that margin is now much smaller.
Although defeating the far right for the second time is a huge victory for Macron, France’s allies will be wide awake to the fact that almost 42% of French voters, according to the data, supported someone who is against him. much of what they stand for.
Nowhere will this be felt more keenly than among the leaders of NATO and the EU.
For NATO, the Russian invasion of Ukraine has been the first real test of the alliance’s unity in years. Although some decisions made by Macron during the crisis have provoked reactions, NATO has largely followed suit.
Considering Le Pen’s previous relationship with Putin and her contempt for NATO, very few thought that this would not create a problem not only in NATO, but also in the UN Security Council.
When it comes to the EU, Macron has made no secret of his desire for Europe to be stronger and more united on security and foreign policy. His vision of European unity sometimes irritates many of his counterparts, who think he is trying to impose a French vision of Europe, although his commitment to the project cannot be questioned.
Le Pen, on the other hand, is more dangerous than someone who wants France to leave the EU: she could lead the group of eurosceptics who want to take control of the bloc from within.
There is a significant number of these people already represented in the EU institutions. In Parliament, far-right parties are represented in several countries. Where things get complicated is at the national level.
There are EU member states, notably Hungary and Poland, which are led by people whose vision of the EU is very close to Le Pen’s. This was highlighted last year when she joined numerous other right-wing leaders, including national leaders, in an open letter in which she opposed many of the progressive ideas that she has put forward in Brussels in recent decades.
For the traditional West, Macron’s second term is a moment of great relief, but also of warning. If the far right continues to gain ground, there could be a very different outcome five years from now. | [

Wave energy resource characterization investigations have been hindered because frequency-directional wave spectra are not broadly available for many coastal regions due to the insufficient spatial coverage of buoy observation networks and spectral wave model hindcast outputs. We address this problem by developing and validating a practical method for approximating temporally-averaged frequency-directional wave spectra averaged over periods of months or years from bulk wave parameters, which are available at a much greater coverage and resolution than frequency-directional wave spectra. While the temporally averaged frequency-directional wave spectrum over these periods cannot be used for analyzing a single sea state, it aggregates multiple sea states, identifies dominant wave energy systems representing wave climate, and resolves their spectral characteristics. Therefore, modelling temporally averaged frequency-directional wave spectra is of great value for planning and designing wave energy projects, e.g., resource characterization, site assessment, and conceptual design of wave energy converters. Temporally-averaged frequency-directional wave spectra and related important wave energy parameters approximated using this method are found to be more accurate than commonly used parametric wave spectrum models. This method can be applied to a wide range of wave climates given its universality and high accuracy. Also, the availability of bulk wave parameters from multi-decade high-resolution wave model hindcasts is increasing. | [

Enel Green Power North America (EGP-NA) has started construction on a new solar power site just north of Hastings. Part of the Aurora Solar project, the site is one of 16 solar photo-voltaic sites being built across Minnesota.
The Aurora project is the first utility-scale solar site in Minnesota. It’s also one of the first pollinator-friendly solar sites in the country.
EGP-NA worked with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources to develop a vegetation plan for its Aurora solar sites that creates a biodiverse habitat for pollinator species, according to EGP-NA.
“EGP-NA saw the integration of a vegetation plan into the overall site design as an exciting opportunity to proactively support the local farming ecosystem and communities,” EGP-NA representatives wrote in an email interview. “For example, the Aurora solar project uses pollinator friendly seed mix and native plant species and wildlife which results in prairie grasses and flowers throughout the site that contribute to the growth of pollinator species populations. These species like bees and monarch butterflies are critical to supporting the pollination and production of local crops and the preservation and health of farmland and native landscapes.”
The seed mix, which includes a combination of flowering perennials, grasses, sedges and rushes, is being planted at all Aurora sites, including the one in Hastings. The mix features 23 different flowering plants with bloom times ranging from May to October. Some of the specific plants included are coneflower, milkweed, phlox, black-eyed-Susan, goldenrod and asters.
“The addition of these plants will help to promote the pollination and resulting growth of crops in the surrounding area,” EGP-NA wrote.
Beyond providing vegetation specifically to help pollinators thrive, the vegetation plan at the site is also projected to preserve farmable land. Prior to construction, the Hastings site was used for agriculture. EGP-NA wrote that specific seeding and soil is being used at each site to help preserve the land throughout the life of the project. Deep rooted plants will channel storm water into the aquifer, reducing runoff and dispersing water to surrounding agricultural land. The plants will also build topsoil over time and help prevent soil erosion.
“The site’s unique and robust vegetation plan will help promote pollination and the preservation of farmable soils and land,” EGP-NA wrote. “In fact, the Aurora solar project improves top soils, manages storm water, and provides pollinator habitat equivalent to more than 500,000 backyard gardens, all of which will support the pollination of local crops in the surrounding agricultural areas.”
While there are no plans currently to add pollinator houses such as bee boxes to the solar sites, EGP-NA noted that such additions are included in future considerations that are being assessed for the project.
Ongoing field maintenance under the solar panels is being developed with the Minnesota DNR.
“The ongoing field maintenance will ensure the cultivation of these plants, while discouraging the growth of weeds, which can hamper the growth of the pollinator plant species,” EGP-NA wrote.
The Hastings site is located in Denmark Township, northeast of Highway 10 and Norell Road South. Construction has begun. When complete, the entire Aurora project is expected to generate over 210 million kWh annually – equivalent to the energy consumption needs of over 17,000 U.S. households, according to an EGP-NA press release. The power generated from the Aurora solar project will be sold under a bundled, long-term power purchase agreements with Minnesota based utility, Xcel Energy.
It is expected to be operational by the end of 2016. | [

I write to thank and commend the decision-makers and engineers who created the Franklin Boulevard roundabouts.
The roundabouts do the following:
1) Increase safety for drivers, pedestrians, bikers and freight.
2) Provide enhanced traffic flow.
3) Provide access to the area north of Franklin Boulevard, which will lead to development by giving the entire region access to a beautiful and underutilized area of our community.
4) The roundabouts were thoughtfully and tastefully designed with low-cost plantings that add beauty and will treat the water run-off from the concrete.
5) Provide new transportation options to pedestrians and bikers.
What was once a transportation choke point is now an attractive and highly functional transportation facility.

School crossing patrol acclaimed for 42 years’ service
Having chalked up a remarkable 42 years’ service, Sandy Flamson from Whitwick in Leicestershire has been named longest serving school crossing patrol (SCP) in the Road Safety GB East Midlands Region.
Sandy’s dedicated service has been recognised in a competition run by the SCP uniform supplier Keltic Clothing which is designed to reward SCPs for their commitment.
Under the competition, the longest-serving SCP in each Road Safety GB region is receiving a bottle of champagne and long-service badge, and each member of the local team is treated to either a STOP cupcake or gingerbread patrol.
Sandy started as a patrol in January 1973 and has certainly seen some changes since then. The uniform and sign have changed to meet modern standards, and patrols can now stop traffic to cross any pedestrian, adult or child. In many ways, however, the role is the same today as it was 42 years ago.
Sandy said: “I love my job because I’m helping children to be safe and I feel like I’m making a worthwhile contribution to the community.
“I enjoy being out in the fresh air, meeting new people and watching the children grow up. In some cases I’m now crossing their children!”
Laura Mellett, account supervisor at Keltic Clothing, said: “It’s such a fantastic achievement. We’re happy to be involved and to see someone get recognised for making such a big contribution.
“We hope that, in a small way, our competition is giving some well-deserved recognition to what we consider to be an integral part of road safety, as well as a great British heritage."

Everyone likes to get good mobile packages so that they can be free while talking with their respected people. These days, having good network on mobile is become very essential since we are travelling to of place and carrying mobile with good network is more important. Many people are facing problem weak signal and getting in to trouble so that they are unable to get the good popular view about the program. If you are making a call you any person and that time when yours or that caller’s person’s mobile signal is weak due to low signal and coverage then your call will be disconnected and you are unable to contact that person. Until you are getting back to the mobile coverage you should wait for the call to talk. These kinds of situation we all have face at any point of time. In order to avoid these kinds of problem, people are frequently changing their mobile operators.
But, how long you are going to change the mobile operator whenever the signal is getting weak? The one and only solution and the permanent solution in order to get rid from this kind of work is really a changing of new antenna. The amplifier should be strong in order to get the clear and strong signal for your mobile. Use the antenne gsm amplifier to get better cell phone signals. Choose the good GSM amplifier for your nearer area.
The GSM amplifier is good one in order to fix the antenna for your mobile and so the signal weak problem will completely sort out from now. Everyone should be known about the cell phone amplifier problem and the right solution in order to get rid from these kinds of problem. With the advent of technology and solution matter the program is very much important in order to get the good idea. If you are going to get back with the right process and solution then you have to be taken with your own mobile network coverage. Increase the amplifier of the antenna to get good signal. | [

Effective Acquisition Strategies For Systems Engineering And Technical Assistance (SETA)
By: Jacques Gansler, William Lucyshyn, John Paul Rigilano
This report addresses the policy changes that are necessary if the Department of Defense (DoD) is to reconcile its growing need for systems engineering and technical assistance (SETA) with the realities of today’s defense industry. The DoD relies heavily upon SETA contractors to facilitate the acquisition of complex systems. SETA contractors are civilian experts who provide analysis and engineering services to the government and often work hand in hand with government engineering staff. This arrangement provides numerous benefits to the DoD. For instance, SETA contractors are able to provide the flexibility and quick availability of expertise to DoD programs without the commitment or expense of sustaining a large, long-term government staff.
It must be emphasized that decisions on many aspects of systems engineering concerning the organization of goods and services by the DoD (e.g., systems architecture optimization, cost performance options, tolerable technology risks, realism of schedule feasibility, etc.) are judgments that are inherently governmental and must be made by government officials with a background and understanding of systems engineering. However, the generation of the analyses and simulation, for example, that inform these judgments can be perhaps best done by private- sector SETA contractors, provided that they are, in fact, independent and, thus, objective. | [

We Can All Do It!
We Can All Do It!
At the moment in my GCSE math class there are 14 people, with an instrumental math problem, 5 people can do them quickly (myself included), 3 cannot grasp and the remainder get it, but it takes a while. However, when the maths problem is relational or based in a real situation, the results are almost reversed, I struggle! This highlights that everyone can do maths as the article states and defines the relational (conceptual) and instrumental (procedural) issue.
Can everyone draw or paint? Most people would answer yes, I am talented or no, I am not talented I cannot draw, but if you ask an art teacher, they would say, everyone who can hold a pencil can draw. Years back I took an evening art class, I was shown how to hold the pencil at eye level and use it to mark the size of the object being drawn, this enabled correct perspective. I didn’t know I could do that until the teacher showed me how, then I had a feeling of satisfaction and felt more confident. I made a big leap from feeling I could not draw to thinking that I could – it now hangs framed on my front room wall.
We all have different learning styles and teaching needs to be done in a way to maximise this – not just procedural, conceptual or factual but a combination of all three, tailored to the individual student within the parameters of the curriculum, to maximise the learning outcome. Imagine you teach maths and you also understand human behaviour, you will know how to adapt your methods to optimise each student’s capacity to learn maths.
So the question is, then not whether anyone can learn maths, but whether we can provide the right stimulus for a student to want to learn it. As the guy in the video from task 2 stated, “I sell a product that nobody wants but is forced by law to have” What I found particularly interesting from the video for the Khan Academy was the teachers’ who had had the insight to flip the classroom lessons. The homework was to listen to the lecture, and the studies done in the classroom was now what would have been the homework – how simple a revolution, how profound the difference – children helping each other learn and the teacher having more time to coach on a more one-to-one basis.
Perhaps maths teachers also need to learn a little bit about human behaviour and expression; learn how to recognise whether the student would benefit best via conceptual or instrumental methodology. This way, I believe the time with each student could be optimised.
In the article it was said there is a math war between traditionalists and progressives, seems this debate has been going on for a long time. I do not agree that students should only be taught procedural, just for the passing of exams, it is just as important to understand the reasoning behind. As with the chicken and egg issue, it doesn’t matter what came first, but that we need both to continue.
This reminds me of the five stages of learning suggested by practitioners of NLP (neuro-linguistic processing) as follows:
- Unconscious incompetence (don’t know whether you can do or can’t do, you haven’t tried)
- Conscious incompetence (you now know you cannot do, you have tried)
- Conscious competence (you can now do but you really have to think about it)
- Unconscious competence (you can do, you don’t have to think about it)
- Mastery ( you can simply do)
Most people give at the conscious incompetent stage because they believe they cannot do it, that they are not natural – this is the stage where you learn the most and it is very difficult! | [

CEPA members have a number of strategies to reduce the production of greenhouse gases. Canada contributes less than two per cent of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions. Canada’s transmission pipelines are responsible for just 1/100th (one per cent) of the country’s total emissions, and CEPA members are working to reduce those emissions every day.
Emissions mainly come from natural gas pipelines through burning fossil fuels at compressor stations, and methane (the main component of natural gas) from small leaks or maintenance activities. Here’s where the pipeline industry fits in the bigger picture. | [

When Tradition Meets Modern Law: Changing the Role of the Oxford University Proctors
Walford, Geoffrey, Research in Education
The post of University Proctor at Oxford University dates back some 800 years. Oxford University is unusual in that there is no official date of foundation. The university emerged rather than was created (Southern, 1984). The first signs of scholastic activity were in about 1095, and by the end of the reign of Henry I, in 1135, Oxford was becoming a town in which learned men and students could be found. But it was not until the 119Os that the town was clearly drawing students of canon and Roman law from overseas and regular lectures were being given in law and theology. During the first years of the thirteenth century there were probably 200 or 300 students and masters studying liberal …

Casa Grande, Arizona (PressExposure) October 15, 2011 -- The Trichotomous Nature of Man in Christianity: A Trichotomy of Body, Spirit, and Soul in Life, Death, and Eternity by ordained minister Robert King draws a conclusion about man's trichotomous nature that reconciles views about the soul held by traditional Christianity and that of cults like the Watchtower Society. While King confirms the doctrine of eternal punishment for the conscious spirit of unbelievers, he insists that the soul of the unbeliever perishes in the flames of the Lake of Fire.
The book contains mostly biblical support with an extremely thorough examination of almost all pertinent passages discussing the soul and the spirit, as well as an examination of many of the Greek and Hebrew words. He also discusses the soul in life, death, and the intermediate state, insisting that the soul cannot exist without the union of the physical body and the conscious spirit. King further uses document support from the early church to show exactly how the modern concept of the soul was spread into Christianity from Greek philosophy in the second century.
The book is now available at Amazon.com or BarnesandNoble.com.
About the Author:
Robert King is the author of numerous print books and e-books, and has written numerous articles for major Christian and Catholic magazines across all denominations. He was originally ordained by Calvary Chapel in Huntington Beach, California. As a conservative Christian with conventional beliefs about the Trinity and Jesus, he holds to the belief that all true Christians are one body regardless of their denomination and that all Christians are supposed to love one another in spite of any doctrinal differences. He has been married for 16 years and has three children. He writes all the content for his website biblecommentator.com which consists of biblical commentary, articles and resources.

Rockhaven SanitariumOct 8th, 2013 | By Lindsay | Category: Marilyn Monroe Locations
Back in early September, while doing research on filming locations in Montrose, I came across this 2011 Crescenta Valley Weekly article about a vacant former mental institution named Rockhaven Sanitarium. My interest was immediately piqued, of course (y’all know how much this stalker LOVES herself some abandoned properties), and I thought the site would fit in perfectly with my Haunted Hollywood postings – especially once I discovered that none other than Gladys Baker Eley, mother of Miss Marilyn Monroe, called the place home for almost a decade and a half. So I dragged the Grim Cheaper right on out to stalk it while the two of us were in L.A. last month.
Rockhaven Sanitarium, which was also known as the Screen Actors Sanitarium, was originally founded in January 1923 by a nurse named Agnes Richards. After witnessing firsthand the poor treatment of the mentally ill while working in both San Bernardino’s Patton State Hospital and the Los Angeles County General Hospital (which is ironically where Gladys Baker gave birth to Norma Jean on June 1st, 1926), Richards decided to open her own “secluded sanctuary” to treat ailing women with dignity in a home-like setting. She leased a two-story building with a stone façade (hence the name “Rockhaven”) on Honolulu Avenue in Montrose for $125 a month and took in six patients, whom she called “residents.” By the next year, the number of residents had grown to 24.
To house the growing number of residents, Richards began purchasing neighboring homes, as well as constructing new buildings on adjacent vacant land. She also eventually bought the original stone dwelling. By 1940, the expanded site, which was one of California’s first private mental health institutions, consisted of 15 Craftsman and Spanish Revival-style buildings, 12 lots of land totaling 3.3 acres, facilities to treat over one hundred patients, a small hospital, a dining hall, and a professional kitchen. The gorgeous grounds, which won a landscaping award in 1966, featured gardens, towering oak trees, grottos, ponds, flowerbeds, fountains, shaded patios, statuaries, and meandering footpaths. Richards believed that beautiful surroundings were necessary to the healing process and Rockhaven was nothing if not idyllic.
As depicted in the documentary “Rockhaven: A Sanctuary from Glendale’s Past,” which won a Los Angeles Area Emmy Award, the sanitarium was not your typical mental health facility. Thanks to the fact that residents were taken on regular excursions, rooms were decorated by interior designers, holidays were celebrated, and patients allowed to wear their normal clothing, Rockhaven was a place where troubled souls could lead normal, even happy lives.
As Richards began to gradually withdraw from running Rockhaven in 1956, her granddaughter, Patricia Traviss, took over daily operations. Patricia continued to run the facility until 2001, when she retired and sold it to the Ararat Home of Los Angeles. Ararat transformed the property into a nursing home, but, claiming it was too difficult to maintain, wound up closing its doors in 2006. In a bit of a macabre twist, when Rockhaven was shuttered, for whatever reason, many patients’ belongings were left behind as if their owners were planning to return – clothes remained hanging in closets, greeting cards and flowers stood on shelves, and framed photos lingered on nightstands. When the city of Glendale purchased the site for $8.25 million in April 2008, they gathered together all of the lost belongings and put them into storage for safe keeping. And while there were originally plans to turn the historic location into a community center and public park, when the economy took a downturn, that project had to be put on hold. The future of Rockhaven is, sadly, now up in the air. In the meantime, the city, the Historical Society of the Crescenta Valley and the Friends of Rockhaven maintain and care for the location.
Due to its bucolic quality, several notables sought treatment at Rockhaven including Billie Burke (aka Glinda from The Wizard of Oz), bandleader Babe Egan, dancer Marion Rose, Broadway actress Peggy Fears, Clark Gable’s first wife, Josephine Dillon, and, as I mentioned earlier, Gladys Baker. (It has been said that actress Frances Farmer also spent some time at Rockhaven, but I believe that claim to be just a rumor.)
Gladys was admitted to Rockhaven Sanitarium on February 9, 1953. She remained there for the next 14 years, thanks to a $5,000-a-year trust fund that Marilyn had set up for her. During her tenure there, Gladys attempted suicide several times | [

A few weeks ago, a former colleague invited me to visit one of his classes, to discuss Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley’s 1818 novel Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus and the essay I’d published about it almost thirty years ago, “‘They Will Prove the Truth of My Tale: Safie’s Letters as the Feminist Core of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein.” To prepare for that visit, I’ve spent the past few days re-reading the book, and I’m overwhelmed anew by the beauty of Shelley’s language, the brilliance of her plot, and the profoundness of her themes. The book moves me even more today than when I first read it.
Frankenstein is a novel that speaks especially powerfully to questions that concern FAR readers: patriarchal competition vs. matriarchal connection; humans’ proper relation to nature; the origin of evil. All the Frankenstein movies, however wonderful they are, simply don’t do the book justice. The belief that it is a “science fiction” or “horror” story keeps many potential readers, I suspect, from picking up this book that expresses its author’s deepest, explicitly feminist meditations about human life.
“I am malicious because I am miserable,” Victor Frankenstein’s creation, the purported “monster” tells him after killing Victor’s young brother: “I was benevolent; my soul glowed with love and humanity; but am I not alone, miserably alone?”
Victor, the ambitious young scientist, had wanted to create human life. He labors for nearly two years, but “the beauty of the dream vanished” the moment he sees the ugliness of the creature he has animated from dead matter. It seems more than strange for a parent–even such a perverse one–to abandon a child solely because it is ugly, but Victor cannot bring himself to look at the “wretch” he so longed to create.
Left to himself, the outcast, nameless creature wanders helplessly through the world, finding food and shelter as he can, and discovering that other humans, too, fear him and, as a result, attack him. Is the creature a migrant, an alien “other” whose presence on our doorstep we refuse? At one point, he hopes that an especially loving, intimate family might adopt him; after spending months hiding nearby and secretly helping them, he ventures to petition the blind elderly father, explaining how people are prejudiced against him:
I have good dispositions; my life has been hitherto harmless, and, in some degree, beneficial; but a fatal prejudice clouds their eyes, and where they ought to see a feeling and kind friend, they behold only a detestable monster.
Because the old man cannot see the creature, he is moved by his words and offers to help; but the moment his children come in, they are alarmed by the creature’s uncouth looks, and, like everyone before them, immediately attack.
The creature’s benevolence turns to momentary feelings of “rage and revenge.” Yet these feelings pass, and a while later, he saves a young girl from drowning. But a man who sees him carrying her body is horrified. The man shoots and wounds the creature:
The feelings of kindness and gentleness, which I had entertained but a few moments before, gave place to hellish rage and gnashing of teeth. Inflamed by pain, I vowed eternal hatred and vengeance to all mankind.
And so is born the “monster” most people associate with the name Frankenstein–a lone and lonely terrorist who lashes out against a world that has no place for him. One by one, he strangles all the people his “maker” holds dear: Victor’s brother William, his best friend Clerval, and his cousin/bride Elizabeth.
Yet the novel invites us to have compassion for the creature, even while it condemns the society that makes him as he is. Victor, raised by a devoted mother and tenderly loved by a doting cousin, should have known better. As should we.
When I first read and taught Frankenstein in the late 1980s, I saw in it an explicitly feminist parable that put into narrative form the arguments Mary Shelley’s mother, Mary Wollstonecraft had made in her 1792 treatise, A Vindication of the Rights of Woman. Wollstonecraft had insisted that women have “improvable reason” and “souls”; they are not “mere animals” or “weak beings” as European law and philosophy had regarded them. Victor’s creature, although biologically male, suffers just as women in Western culture suffer when they are treated “not as part of the human species.”
In other ways, too, Mary Shelley’s novel embodies feminist–even ecofeminist–values. For one thing, she suggests | [

The Chicago Bears have signed kicker Mike Nugent and have placed Cairo Santos on injured reserve, according to the Chicago Tribune’s Brad Biggs.
Santos reportedly suffered a groin injury in pregame warmups before the Bears’ loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. This explains why punter Pat O’Donnell was seen attempting field goals during halftime.

Nugent, 35, has played for six other teams in his 13-year career. He played four games for the Dallas Cowboys when kicker Dan Bailey when down with an injury. He completed seven of his nine field goal attempts in that time, and ended up going three-for-four from 40 yards or more. He also made all eight of his extra point tries.
Nugent has a career field goal percentage of 80.7, as well as a 97 percent rate on extra points.
Santos was brought in after the Bears cut Connor Barth on November 20. He made one of his two field goal attempts with the team, and went two-for-two on PATs, a fact made even more impressive considering that he had been playing injured when he kicked his extra points.
The 26-year-old was cut by the Kansas City Chiefs after he suffered a groin injury in September. He appeared to be healthy when the Bears had signed him, but he reaggravated his injury this week.
Nugent joins the Bears as the oldest member of the roster, beating out second-place Mark Sanchez by four years. | [

Worldwide Meeting Applications
Meet New Friends Today
There are many reasons for you to install some of the well-known applications and start talking with random strangers and make new friends based on similar interests.
Online friends are usually considered to be not as important as real-life friends because many people believe that being able to touch as well as just seeing someone in person cannot even compare to talking with someone through the screen, but Charlie Eissa is a great application that will allow you an amazing experience and quite interesting and fun time spent with your friends. So, try Charlie Eissa and find some new and fun friends for yourself.
There are some problems, of course, when it comes to these online friendships. One of them is having friends that live in different countries with different time zones. Another thing would be not being able to answer for so many hours because of school, job, or some other things. But, thankfully there are way more good and fun things related to talking and meeting new people online. The best part about talking with friends online would probably be having long and dedicated phone call conversations that last for maybe even five hours, that just shows how delicate and nice humans can be.
All in all, try contacting Charlie Eissa if you want to learn more about meeting new people online. Online friends are usually very loyal, nice, and dedicated. Another very important thing to say about having online friends or simply talking with people online is that there is always a chance for you to finally see your best friend in person one day. | [

GENEVA (17 April 2019) – The UN Special Rapporteur on the promotion of truth, justice, reparation and guarantees of non-recurrence, Fabian Salvioli, will carry out an official visit to El Salvador from 24 April to 3 May 2019 to examine progress in redressing the legacies of massive past violations and abuses.
In 1993, a UN-backed Truth Commission issued a report documenting the cases of more than 75,000 people who were tortured, killed or forcibly disappeared during the armed conflict from 1980 to 1992, and recommended that those responsible for human rights violations and abuses be brought to justice.
“My visit aims to learn about and evaluate the measures taken by the authorities in the areas of truth, justice, reparation and guarantees of non-recurrence – the four pillars of my mandate – to address the serious human rights violations committed during the armed conflict,” the expert said.
“I will examine the various initiatives taken, identify good practices, gaps and challenges, and formulate recommendations.”
The human rights expert will meet Government officials, representatives of the legislature, members of the judiciary, the armed forces, the national human rights institution, civil society, victims’ groups, academics and representatives of the international community.
He is scheduled to visit San Salvador and other locations in the country.
The expert will present his preliminary findings and recommendations at a press conference to be held at 11:00 local time on 3 May 2019 at the UN building, Blvd. Orden de Malta Sur, No. 2-B, Santa Elena, Antiguo Cuscatlan, La Libertad. Access to the press conference will be strictly limited to journalists.
The Special Rapporteur’s final report on the visit will be presented to the Human Rights Council in September 2020.
Mr. Fabian Salvioli (Argentina) was appointed by the UN Human Rights Council in 2018 as the Special Rapporteur on the promotion of truth, justice, reparation and guarantees of non-recurrence. He is a human rights lawyer and professor. Fabián Salvioli is professor of International Law and Human Rights at the School of Law of the University of La Plata. He has lectured in many countries and universities across the Americas, Europe, Africa and Asia. Mr. Salvioli has authored several books and articles on international human rights law. He was member of the United Nations Human Rights Committee between 2009 and 2016, and its President between 2015 and 2016. As a Special Rapporteur, Mr. Salvioli is part of what is known as the Special Procedures of the Human Rights Council. Special Procedures, the largest body of independent experts in the UN Human Rights system, is the general name of the Council’s independent fact-finding and monitoring mechanisms that address either specific country situations or thematic issues in all parts of the world. Special Procedures experts work on a voluntary basis; they are not UN staff and do not receive a salary for their work. They are independent from any government or organization and serve in their individual capacity.

We love developing ideas, challenging the conventional and pushing the boundaries of engineering.
Research and development has been an integral part of the Practice since its formation; with Clive, Nathan and Paul specifically drawn to cross-laminated timber (CLT) as a new material - the opportunities it provided for innovation in structural form and its application for different building types.
Our research projects have explored the potential of CLT in high-rise construction, developing feasibility studies and concept designs for 10 – 20 storey residential buildings. Working closely with specialist contractors, fabricators and suppliers we have developed hybrid solutions, bringing together structural timber and steel frame to deliver intelligent engineering designs for a wide range of building types and are now considered leaders in this field.
This knowledge and expertise provided a natural platform for us to extend our research in to modular construction, where we worked with one of the leading modular building contractors to develop design concepts for educational buildings. We are currently researching design concepts for modular residential blocks constructed from CLT and timber cassettes to support the desire of a leading residential developer to build in structural timber.
Engenuiti is a diverse collection of structural and civil engineers with a wide range of skills and interest. We support the passions of our team by allowing them the freedom to develop and learn, whilst sharing their knowledge across the Practice. Collaborating with architects at the early stages of concept designs and design competitions allows them to experiment with ideas and structural materials, research options and identify the best design solutions. | [

Over the past decade, the U.S. airline industry has significantly turned itself around, helped largely by a sharp decline in fuel prices and a high level of industry consolidation. Although airlines are now operating in an unprecedented period of sustained profitability, future growth could face a new and unique challenge in the form of a pilot shortage.
Which, it turns out, could be a blessing in disguise.
The pilot shortage issue first came into the spotlight in early 2016 with the bankruptcies of regional airlines such as Republic Airways and SeaPort Airlines. Both companies cited a lack of pilots as the key factor behind their bankruptcy filings.
According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), U.S. passenger traffic is expected to grow at an average annual rate of 2.1 percent between 2016 and 2036. At the same time that the number of air travelers is increasing, there’s a consistent decline in the number of people eligible to fly the plane. Indeed, the number of active pilots is expected to decrease from more than 101,000 in 2015 to fewer than 89,000 by 2036.
Because of declining fuel costs, labor now represents the largest expense for U.S. airlines, accounting for 32.9 percent of network carriers’ budget and 34.5 percent for value carriers. Driven by falling fuel costs, the cost per available seat mile fell 12.6 percent on a year-over-year basis to 11.5 cents during the second quarter in 2015, the largest such decline since 2009. With labor now the largest cost component, the issue of a pilot shortage becomes more pertinent.
Factors Influencing the Pilot Shortage
Following the 2010 crash of Colgan Air Flight 3407, Congress raised the minimum flight time pilots-in-training must spend in the cockpit before they can serve as first officers on a commercial airline, from 250 to 1,500 hours. This mandate led to a sharp rise in training costs, with no materially significant change in compensation at the regional airline level. It’s likely that this has dissuaded many would-be pilots from earning their wings.
In addition, the FAA revised rest rules. Pilots now must get at least 10 hours of rest between shifts and are permitted to fly only eight or nine hours in a single stretch, depending on their start times. They also need 30 consecutive hours free from work every week, a 25 percent bump up from previous requirements. These new rest rules are expected to increase staffing needs by 3,600 to 6,000 in the next eight years.
Pilot training costs are high, in time and money. Although salaries at the big commercial airlines are competitive, new recruits at regional carriers once earned as little as $20,000 a year.
The situation is made more severe by the fact that regional airlines were able to hire only 50 percent of the pilots they needed last year.
Meanwhile, thousands of senior pilots at major airlines are reaching the mandatory retirement age of 65 years old, as hiring was heavy in the 1980s yet relatively thin over the past decade. Since mainline airlines hire pilots away from the regional carriers, these airlines might struggle to find new recruits with adequate experience.
Pilot Constraints, Hidden Positives
The pilot shortage will almost certainly have an impact on capacity expansion plans. However, recent consolidation within the industry and technological advancements are expected to provide airlines with the flexibility to adjust to this new reality.
Capacity discipline has become the norm these days among airlines, not only as a response to major catastrophes but also in an attempt to undertake a strategic overhaul without incurring additional cost. To that end, airlines are increasing capacity without increasing the size of their fleets. They accomplish this by adding more rows to existing planes and replacing smaller aircraft with bigger ones.
For instance, JetBlue Airways, which historically flew only 100-seat Embraer jets and 150-seat Airbus A320 jets, began flying 190-seat Airbus A321s in December 2013. From 2014 through 2017, it will increase its fleet by taking delivery of 48 of the A321s but only three of the smaller A320s. Similarly, Southwest operated 683 aircraft in 2014, compared to 698 two years earlier, and yet it was able to serve 4.6 percent more passengers as a result of improved capacity usage. With fuel prices on the decline and pilots in short supply, the bias toward bigger planes seems reasonable.
Delta is well ahead in its plan to reduce its regional jet fleet and plans to retire another 50 aircraft over the next year to bring its aggregate number of flights to only 125, down from nearly 500 at the end of 2009. United reduced the number of small regional jets flown by its partners from an estimated 380 in 2012 to 242 by the end of 2015, with a target of reducing further to 100 by 2019. It is adding 85 Embraer 175s to its partners’ regional fleet to partially replace the reduction in small jet flying. Meanwhile, American Airlines is planning to reduce its small regional jet fleet | [

Technical report on the Bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops aduncus) unusual mortality event within the Swan Canning Riverpark, June-October 2009
Holyoake, C., Finn, H., Stephens, N., Duignan, P., Salgado, C., Smith, H., Bejder, L., Linke, T., Daniel, C., Lo, H.N., Ham, G.S., Moiler, K., Allen, S., Bryant, K. and McElligott, D. (2010) Technical report on the Bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops aduncus) unusual mortality event within the Swan Canning Riverpark, June-October 2009. Murdoch University
This technical report reviews findings from an investigation into the mortalities of six bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops aduncus) in the Swan Canning Riverpark in 2009. The report: (a) describes the epidemiology and pathology of these mortalities; (b) presents background information on the ecology of dolphins in the Swan Canning Riverpark and factors known to affect dolphin health; and (c) discusses the potential role of chemical contaminants in the mortalities. These mortalities were investigated in context of dolphin deaths in the Swan Canning Riverpark prior to 2009 and a series of mortalities of dolphins in the Bunbury area between 2008-10, as well as marine mammal mortality events in other locations.

Mark Reckless MP has welcomed the announcement today of plans which will help safeguard the future of Rochester Airport.
Since it was first established in 1933, Rochester Airport has become an important and well-loved facility to many people living in Medway. Unfortunately many of the buildings are now reaching the end of their useful life and, in order to secure the airport’s future and enhance the heritage and community facilities, the council has announced plans to tender for an airport operator to work in partnership with the council to create an airport which the public can be rightly proud of.
Speaking earlier today, Mark Reckless MP said:
“I am delighted that plans are now being put in place which should help secure Rochester Airport’s future for many generations to come. Over many years I have fought alongside local residents and councillors to retain this cherished asset. The proposed scheme will go a long way to safeguarding the airport’s future as well as providing a real boost for the local economy through the job opportunities which it will provide.”
What’s being proposed?
- Major improvements to exisiting airport facilities on their current location on the airfield
- Better public access to the site for heritage, leisure and tourism
- A new permanent home for the nationally recognised Medway Aircraft Preservation Society (MAPS)
- Creation of new parallel paved and grass runway to replace the existing 02-20 grass runway, as well as improvements to navigation aids and outdated facilities
- Closure of the old 16/34 grass runway
- Development of around 12 hectares of the old 16/34 runway area for hi-tech business, science or technology development next to the existing Rochester Airport Industrial Estate
- Safeguards Rochester Airport as a “smaller but better” sustainable airport with improved facilities for Medway residents and visitors
- New land released for job creation – with the potential to eventually create more than 1,000 new skilled jobs
- A new aviation heritage attraction to encourage more visitors to Medway
- Preserves the existing green view of the airport from Maidstone Road as well as reducing aircraft noise around the airport through use of a paved runway
- Opportunity to attract private sector investment into Rochester Airport by offering a 25 year lease to an operator alongside a council contribution to the overall development
“As ward councillors Rochester Airport is one of our biggest priorities; consequently we welcome this proposal, which will safeguard this invaluable ward asset for future generations and provide much needed job opportunities for the local economy.”

Small gas leak near Kuwait oilfield controlled
Kuwait, March 17, 2013
Kuwait Oil Company (KOC) has controlled a small leak on a gas pipeline near to the Burgan oil field, the state-run company said on Saturday.
A "simple leak" was discovered on Saturday afternoon on an isolation valve on a gas pipeline running near the security fence around Burgan, one of the world's biggest oil fields, KOC said on its official Twitter feed.
Nobody was injured by the small gas leak and the problem valve has been isolated, KOC said.
In October last year, KOC set fire to an oil well on the Rawdatain field to get rid of gas leaking from that site.
Major oil exporter Kuwait produces around 3 million barrels of crude a day, nearly half of it from the Burgan field.-Reuters
