Kelly is in good physical health. So why is she fighting for the right to die – aged 23?
Published by The Mail on Sunday (13th October, 2019)
Kelly is 23 years old. She is a bright and thoughtful young woman with an attractive smile that flits across her face occasionally as we spend several hours discussing her background, her family and her short life.
With her long, tousled, chestnut hair and short, checked red dress, she looks like many of the 50,000 cheerful students who throng the bustling Belgian city of Leuven, home to the country’s biggest university.
Yet there is a big difference. For this friendly woman sitting on the sofa beside me – someone younger than both of my own children – is telling me an anguished tale of deep personal torment.
‘When I look in the mirror, I see a monster,’ she says at one point, although dark rings around her eyes are the only outward sign of her struggles. ‘I really don’t like what I see.’
Such words do not seem to match the person speaking them. But Kelly is plagued by mental health problems that she describes as being like a knife plunged in her chest – and we are meeting to discuss her determination to die.
‘It won’t hurt so I don’t see the problem,’ she says. ‘It is like going to sleep, and for the first time in my life it will be quick. I won’t be lying in bed waiting for it to come.’
In almost every place on the planet, this would be a huge problem. But Belgium is one of three countries that permit such euthanasia, making no distinction between ‘unbearable’ physical and mental pain. The other two are Holland and Luxembourg.
Yet even in Belgium – which, 17 years ago, became the world’s second country to sanction euthanasia and the first to legalise it for children – psychiatric cases remain controversial, especially when they involve someone as young as Kelly.
Mental health patients account for about three per cent of the 17,000 people killed since the law was changed in this country of 11 million citizens. There were 2,357 deaths last year – ten times as many as in the first year euthanasia was legal in Belgium – and most involved elderly people.
Many psychiatrists and most Belgians oppose extension of euthanasia to mental health cases. Some experts argue diagnosis is subjective, unlike severe physical illness, and insist the lives of distressed younger patients can improve with time, therapy and medication.
Yet Kelly, whose birthday is this week, plans to die as soon as legally possible so has no time for such arguments. ‘It feels like discrimination,’ she said. ‘It makes me angry. It’s just not fair. They don’t understand the pain.
‘People look at me and see someone so young but I feel bad inside all the time. It is not the age that is important but the suffering of the person.’
This woman – so open and yet obviously troubled – highlights the complexity of this issue as Britain faces growing pressure from some patients and politicians to permit doctor-assisted death. Opponents argue legalisation is a slippery slope.
Kelly lives with her family near Leuven – yet incredibly had not told her parents, identical twin sister or younger sibling of her plan. She was due to break the news to them four days after our discussion, something she admitted she was dreading.
‘It is not going to be easy to tell them. I think my sisters will understand more than my parents. But it will obviously be very difficult, especially for my twin sister.’
The reason for her failure to tell her family soon becomes clear. She is fond of her father, a salesman, but said her relationship with her mother, a former cleaning lady, was very difficult, leaving her feeling unloved and insecure at home. ‘As a child I did not understand what was happening,’ she says.
Her stresses were fuelled by crippling shyness. This was intensified by living in the shadow of a more extrovert twin sister – which allowed Kelly to withdraw into a shell – and frequently changing schools as the family moved between rented homes. The twins were often identically dressed, even as teenagers, although their parents made some efforts to encourage their individuality.
‘My sister did everything, such as making friends for us, so I never really had to do these things for myself. It felt like we belonged together, although I now see we were very different. ‘But we were always together. Then when we were separated at school, I found it difficult.’
Kelly focused her efforts on working hard and trying to please her teachers. But she says she always felt lonely and unhappy – and even when she did bond with new friends, it seemed as if they were drawn to her vivacious sister. ‘I tried telling her once how I felt, that it felt like she stole away my friends.

The debut solo exhibition of Csaba Nemes (1966) opens the series of exhibitions in 2024 in acb Plus, which is a space dedicated for showcasing large scale works. Csaba Nemes is one of the most active members of the Hungarian contemporary art scene since the early 1990s, with countless international and local institutional exhibitions behind his back, in 2020 he radically redefined his own art practice, and ever since he is working according to an abstract painting program. In 2020 a painting series entitled Greyscale, which was focusing on completetly abstract tonal plays of the grey color completely substituted the previous painting practice of the artist, which was based on photorealism and on reflecting on social and political questions.
The selection of the exhibition is based on the two freshest series of the artist, Making Painting from 2023 and Appearance from 2022. Both cycles are based on free, improvisative, visceral painterly gestures, which are characterised by thick layering of paint, and scraping and carving as well, in many ways the works are based on compositions focusing on opposites, counterparts, but both series are connected to each other furthermore. The leitmotifs of the paintings of Nemes, such as the arrows, vectors, which are leading nowhere, the scraped square grid, and brick walls appear in both featured series. These motifs which are resurfacing, are never concrete reference on the canvases of the of the artist, they are more given self-referential signs related to abstract painting.
The playfull abstraction of Nemes, which he adresses as provisional painting, positions him in a row of such contemporary painters as Stanley Whitney, Joe Bradley or the french Support/Surface group, which was founded in the 1960s. Provisional painting is based on fresh, improvisational painting gestures, which result many surfaces on each piece, which invite the viewer for unexpected pianterly adventures and interplays. Painting itself is in focus on the paintings of Nemes, his brushstrokes become the protagonists of his images. The artworks which often feature repetitive patterns are centered around the phisicality of paint, and not around the spatial illusion created by it. Furthermore the new works are reconnecting to a very early stage of the career of Nemes in the 1990s, where he experimented with his own reflection on the local gesture painting of the 1980s. The medially ever renewing practice of Nemes, which incorporated many radical shifts in the past decades, and also his dedication towards critical topics gravitates his oeuvre towards such figures as the late Ákos Birkás. | [

TAKING IT OUTSIDE
Warm weather has finally arrived in the Lakes Region and many of us are looking forward to spending more time outdoors.
While outside, you may realize your outdoor space needs refreshing, or even a complete renovation. Whether you have an established space that needs updating or you’re starting from scratch, there are many things you can do to make outdoor spaces comfortable, functional, and welcoming.
A MATTER OF SPACE
The first step is to consider what you want to do with the space—what do you want to use the outdoor space for? What will happen the most out there?
Outdoor spaces are often used as places of refuge, where people go to read and relax, and become one with nature; they can be great exercise spots or peaceful meditation gardens. One of the most common uses for outdoor areas is a play space for the whole family. There are many customizable play-sets available at differing price points, depending on age and interest levels. Larger areas could accommodate putting greens, bocce courts, or small disc golf courses.
Once you determine how you would like to use the space. With a little planning, you can make your deck, patio, or backyard an extension of your home. If you already have a deck, you can enlarge it on the same plane, or add levels. Adding on to a patio will give you more space to work with. A backyard redesign or upgrade will give you the most opportunities to create a space that will suit your needs.
Some people use outdoor spaces as an extension of their living room, and furnish it with rugs, décor, and comfortable furniture. Others use this space as an outdoor kitchen or entertaining area. Grilling areas can be expanded to include preparation, storage, and counter space, as well as dining. Larger cooking areas may even include pizza ovens or a bar and lounge area.
A popular and useful structure for any outdoor space is a pergola, pavilion, or gazebo. What once started as garden follies are now available in many configurations, materials, and price points. These structures offer additional opportunity to incorporate beautiful landscaping and plantings to increase natural beauty and add visual interest to your landscape.
In conjunction with garden structures, a fire pit is a great addition to any patio or back yard, perfect for relaxing at night, and making s’mores.
Another great addition to an outdoor space is the inclusion of a water feature. Some ideas include a fountain or koi pond; a pool, either above ground or built in; or a hot tub or spa.
Plantings play a big part in making your space the most inviting. We can work with you to develop a plan that will not only look good in your available space and accommodate your specific needs, but that will also make the most sense with our climate and growing season in the Lakes Region.
Thoughtfully designed outdoor areas can give you years of enjoyment, as well as increase the value of your home. Many people see an increase in their property values, as a return on investment for upgrades made to outdoor spaces. For more information about what a good outdoor space can do for the value of your home, contact our associates at Lake Life Realty.
WE CAN HELP
There are as many options as there are ideas for creating or refreshing outdoor living spaces. We have created some beautiful and functional outdoor spaces and would love to help with your plans. We’ll work closely with you to design a plan that best fits your space, design aesthetic, and budget. We’re excited to see what you have in mind. Contact us today! | [

by Dennis Boiter for Satcom Frontier
McLean VA (SPX) Feb 25, 2015
All of us at Intelsat General congratulate our government colleagues at SPAWAR PMW-146 on the successful launch of MUOS-3. MUOS, the Mobile User Objective System, is a critical government-operated platform providing narrowband voice communications via satellite.
In development for over a decade, the MUOS system is a badly needed replacement for the legacy UHF Follow-On (UFO) satellite system that is nearing the end of its operational life. MUOS greatly improves upon UFO by introducing WCDMA cellular technology to tactical satellite communications.
The UFO system has been oversubscribed for many years. Starting in 2011 the Integrated Waveform (IW), which doubled the number of calls possible per 25 kHz channel from five to ten, was implemented as an interim way to meet the capacity shortfall. Today, the MUOS satellites also contain legacy UHF payloads that provide a bridge capability to the legacy UFO system, helping to fulfill some of the excess demand and smoothing the transition to MUOS. However, the superior WCDMA technology provided by MUOS will not be available until the system is fully operational sometime in the 2016 time frame.
A consistent theme at SatCom Frontier is how vital the commercial space industry is to the DoD as it struggles to deal with the escalating demand for wideband satellite services. In the case of UHF narrowband, it's entirely appropriate for the government to own and operate this critical communication service used daily by our troops.
That said, Intelsat General has been a reliable partner helping the DoD power narrowband communications since the early days. We've partnered with the US Navy in providing UHF tactical communications to US and Allied forces since the launch of MARISAT in 1976. Just last month, we celebrated the 25th anniversary of the Leasat-5 launch, which continues to contribute UHF channels to the on-orbit resources for the warfighter.
And in 2012 Intelsat launched and continues to operate the Australian Defence Forces (ADF) UHF hosted payload on board our Intelsat-22 satellite. The IS-22 UHF payload provides critical coverage over the Middle East Area of Operations for the ADF.
There are multiple ways for the commercial space industry to support the warfighter, and its support of narrowband technology enhancement serves as a good example. As space becomes an increasingly competitive environment, commercial industry will introduce cutting edge SATCOM technology more quickly and lead the innovative charge ahead. There will also be cases like MUOS, where the government will operate the network with strong support delivered by its commercial partners.
In either scenario, a strong collaboration produces the best result for the government end user - and helps maintain U.S. preeminence in space.

Secure communication for machines and systems
Secure communication = secure operation - The Microwall IO firewall uses appropriate rules to protect your critical machines or systems from undesired/harmful access. Communication from and to the island is restricted to what is essential for operation, thereby significantly reducing the potential attack area. Harmful events such as load spikes, broadcast storms etc. remain locally limited and have no effects on the other respective segment.
Digital in-/outputs integrate remote maintenance and firewall-specific actions in automation and process environments. PLC outputs or simple switches can be used for example to control VPN access, certain firewall rules or the status of the network interfaces. The outputs enable external visualization of messages and events such as an activated VPN access.
Secure commissioning - In contrast to many other routers which often permit unrestricted outgoing data communication, the Microwall VPN blocks any cross-network data traffic. In Discover mode outgoing communication attempts of the island-side connected devices and including the associated host name of the destination server are documented. Permitted destinations are used with a mouse click to create a release rule, whereas undesired communication remains blocked.
Secure remote access via VPN - For remote maintenance and remote access to the island network the Microwall VPN provides a WireGuard®-VPN endpoint which can be operated actively as a VPN client or passively as a VPN server.
More info: More about how the firewalls work can be found here.

- 5 year guarantee
The Microwall IO casts sensitive components or sub-networks into a separate island network and isolates the latter from the higher level company intranet. For remote maintenance, remote support, etc. a WireGuard VPN server is available which provides selected VPN clients with secure and dedicated firewall-protected access to the island components.
All connections between the networks must use rules based on source/destination IP and the used TCP/UDP port numbers to obtain an express release. For outgoing connections host names can be used as a destination within the rules. Communication of undocumented and/or undesired services is prohibited and harmful events such as overload are kept away from the island.
NAT router mode
Similar to a traditional DSL internet connection, the entire island network is incorporated via just an IP address of the intranet into the network there. No intervention into the routing concept of the intranet | [

Rev. J. Bryan Hehir Wins Martin E. Marty Award for the Public Understanding of Religion
The AAR’s Committee on the Public Understanding of Religion is pleased to announce that public theologian Rev. J. Bryan Hehir, of Harvard University and the Catholic Archdiocese of Boston, is the 2016 recipient of the Martin E. Marty Award for the Public Understanding of Religion.
Now in its twentieth year, the Marty Award recognizes extraordinary contributions to the public understanding of religion by individuals whose work has a relevance and eloquence that speaks not just to scholars but other “publics” as well.
The Committee honors Father Hehir for his important scholarship on the ethics of statecraft, war, and peace, and for his influential work as a public theologian who for more than forty years has constructively engaged scholars, church leaders, diplomats, elected officials, military leaders, policymakers and social workers on a range of issues at the intersection of religion and public life.
At this year’s Marty Forum (session A20-252, Sunday November 20 at 3:00 p.m.), Fr. Hehir will join interlocutor Shaun Casey, Special Representative for Religion and Global Affairs at the US State Department, for an extended public dialogue about his life and work. All Annual Meeting participants are encouraged to attend.
Throughout his career Rev. J. Bryan Hehir has moved seamlessly among his roles as parish priest, professor and policy advisor, while maintaining a remarkable commitment to the public dimensions of his work in all three areas.
Born in 1940 in Lowell, Massachusetts, he was ordained a diocesan priest in 1966 after completing his AB and MDiv at St. John’s Seminary in Boston. From 1973 to 1992, he worked on the staff of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), directing (at different times) the Office of International Affairs and the Department of Social and Political Affairs. Hehir was the chief author of the US bishops' 1983 pastoral letter on nuclear weapons, entitled The Challenge of Peace: God's Promise and Our Response, which interpreted Church teachings on the use of force in international conflict in light of the threat of nuclear war. The pastoral letter gained national attention and served as a paradigmatic example of public theology that would be followed by future pastoral letters from the Catholic Church as well as other religious communities in the United States. Hehir received a prestigious MacArthur Fellowship in 1984 in part as recognition for this important work.
Hehir’s professional academic career began with his appointment in 1984 as the Joseph P. Kennedy Professor of Ethics at Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service. Having completed his ThD at Harvard Divinity School in 1977 (while working at the USCCB), he rejoined his colleagues there in 1993 as a professor of the practice in religion and society at Harvard Divinity School. By this time he was recognized as one of the world’s foremost experts on just war theory, particularly the challenges presented by terrorism, humanitarian intervention, and nuclear proliferation. In 1998 Hehir was asked to lead the school through a period of turmoil, and he became its first Catholic head—though he declined the title of dean and continued to serve as parish priest at St. Paul’s Church in Cambridge.
Amidst his scholarly work, Hehir has also continued to serve the Catholic Church in leadership positions in social policy and service. From 2001 to 2003 he served as President and CEO of Catholic Charities USA, the umbrella organization for more than 1,400 Catholic social-service agencies across the country; in 2003 the new Archbishop of Boston, Sean O’Malley, called him home to lead the archdiocese’s robust Catholic Charities organization. He was soon elevated to the position of Secretary for Health Care and Social Services, with responsibility for the archdiocese’s work with healthcare, education, poverty, refugee resettlement, and more. He continues to serve as one of (now Cardinal) O’Malley’s closest advisors, even after returning to Harvard as the Parker Gilbert Montgomery Professor of the Practice of Religion and Public Life at the Kennedy School of Government.
For more than forty years Bryan Hehir has been among the most prominent and influential voices of American Catholicism, in large part because of his commitment to the public dimension of his academic and ecclesiastical work. He has engaged in long-term working relationships with diplomats, elected officials, military leaders (and cadets), policymakers and social workers on a range of issues at the intersection of religion and public life.
For this important work, and much more, the AAR’s Committee on the Public Understanding of Religion is delighted to honor Bryan Hehir with the 2016 Martin Marty Award. We hope you will all join us for the Marty Forum on Sunday, November 20, at 3:00 p.m. | [

Lakewood, NJ – The Lakewood Board of Education held a special meeting last night at the Lakewood High School Auditorium. The purpose of this specially convened meeting – which was attended by about 2,000 people – was to discuss the recently failed referendum on courtesy bussing and the next steps toward a solution to the current transportation crisis.
Guest speakers included the district auditor, the board counsel and the district’s transportation consultant.
As previously reported on Matzav, Lakewood Township officials conceded that they aren’t prepared for the chaos looming later this month when some 10,000 schoolchildren lose their busing.
The school district has mailed letters home informing parents that courtesy busing – busing for elementary school students who live within two miles of their schools and high school students who live 2-½ miles from their schools – will end effective February 26.
With just 15 days to go before the busing ends, the board held a meeting to discuss the matter. Private and public school parents turned out to express their frustration and to hear by school district officials.
Parents are concerned about the safety of their children walking to school. 7,100 proivate school students will be left without busing. On the public school side, over 2,700 students won’t have busing.
At the meeting last night, school officials said that there is virtually no possibility for the busing cut to be halted. The officials explained the nature of the budget deficit and explained that by the end of the current school year, the Lakewood school district will have a deficit of over $12 million due to a flaw in the state funding formula.
The State of New Jersey provides each school district with school funding. The amount is based on the wealth of the community. The state isn’t inclined to greatly fund a rich township with high property taxes and a large tax revenue. A poor district with a low tax revenue and many students will receive a much larger amount from the state.
The glaring problem is that nonpublic school children are not counted in the state formula. They are invisible, leaving the impression that Lakewood is a wealthy town with a relatively small number of students. And this leads to inadequate state aid, which, in turn, yields an ever-growing school district debt. This point was made last night by board auditor Dieter Lerch, who stated that while Lakewood should really get over $10 million in aid from Trenton, the township receives a paltry $3,600,000.
Officials said that over the past 36 months, transportation aid from the state has gone up by less than 2 percent, while the number of students who qualify for busing has rising 34 percent.
Marc H. Zitomer, the school board attorney, told the large audience, “The state has turned its back on Lakewood by failing to recognize Lakewood’s unique circumstances. We do not have a fiscal mismanagement problem. We simply don’t receive enough state funding to meet our needs.”
A petition was passed around for parents to sign to call on Trenton to give Lakewood its fair share of funding.
Former Lakewood school board attorney Michael Inzelbuch, one of the most knowledgeable experts in the state when it comes to matters of education, announced that he will be suing the state of New Jersey for reneging on an agreement brokered last year between the district’s schools, both public and private, as well as the school board and the township.
For two years, after Lakewood fell into a deficit of some $5 million, the state appointed a monitor, Michael Azzara, to oversee Lakewood’s pecuniary situation. Despite Azzara’s presence, Lakewood’s deficit is now double what it previously was. The obvious reason is the aforementioned flaw in the state funding formula, to which the state continues to turn a blind eye.

1500W Power Amplifier
This is a very high 1500W power amplifier circuit diagram by Rod Elliott. The circuit is built using 10 pairs of power transistor MJ15024 and MJ15025 (or MJ21193/MJ21194), then it will use 20 pieces of power transistor for final amplification.
With very high power audio output, then of course it will need power supply with high power output. This amplifier require dual output power supply 130V.

High power ultra-short pulse laser ablation of IN718 using high repetition rates
Laser ablation using ultra-short pulsed laser radiation with pulse durations below 10 ps is known to be capable of high-precision machining with very small thermal load for the processed workpiece. Although the processing quality is excellent, the productivity is too small for many applications. Therefore, an upscaling of the achievable ablation rate is one major research topic in the field of ultra-short pulse laser ablation. In this study, we identify and investigate a novel high-speed ablation process for the ablation of Inconel 718 using ultra-short pulsed laser radiation. The formation of a thin layer of molten material avoids the formation of rough microstructures on the workpiece surface that usually appear for the processing with high average powers and high spatial pulse overlaps. Thus, processing with high average power of more than 50 W using conventional, high efficient and high flexible beam deflection technology becomes applicable. The presented process is approximately 20 times faster than conventional ultra-short pulse laser ablation with average powers of less than 5 W. The influence of the repetition rate, average power, pulse duration and hatch distance on the high-speed ablation process is investigated. The potential of an optional finishing process to remove the molten layer by melt-free ablation with the same laser system but different processing parameters is demonstrated. | [

In her acceptance speech for Choice Summer Song for "Really Don't Care," Demi Lovato proved that she does, in fact, care. A good deal, actually — she told the crowd, "Every single one of you deserves to live a happy and healthy and incredible life... so be the best that you can be in everything, because your dreams can come true if you work hard for them."
Acknowledging that style is a means of expression, Candie's Choice Style Icon Zendaya reminded fans that while she may look like she has it all together, she's still using style to discover her own voice. "I'm still trying to find out who I am, too," she revealed to her screaming fans. "Every single day, I'm trying to figure out who I am, and we don't need to rush. We don't have to grow up too quick. Embrace growing up and finding out who you are, 'cause it's a beautiful journey. All right?"
Shailene Woodley knows a thing or two about strong women. Not only is she one herself, but she won Choice Movie Actress: Action/Adventure for playing one, too — Tris Prior in Divergent. So her sentiments rang especially true when she asserted, "You can be brave and jump off trains, but the truest form of courage and bravery is to wake up single every day and be ourselves."
Ariana Grande, who adorably brought her grandmother, "Nonna," as her date, shared some wise words of advice for her fans during her acceptance speech for Choice Single: Female Artist. "To all the teens out there who love to sing, who love to dance, who love to act, don't ever stop," the "Problem" singer stressed, adding, "I was told no so many times, and I never thought I'd be able to do what I'm doing now every single day. I didn't take no for an answer, and my Nonna taught me to do that."
Woodley wasn't finished offering up pearls of wisdom just yet. When she took the stage to accept the surfboard for Choice Movie: Drama, the insightful actress had this to say about starring in The Fault in Our Stars. "The biggest thing I took away from this movie is that all we have is moments, and it's really our job to wake up each and every day and be so grateful for those moments."
Woodley's costar in The Fault in Our Stars, Ansel Elgort, weighed in on the importance of the film's message as well. "We wanted to bring these characters to life in the most honest way," Elgort said, "and make it a story about love and living every moment like it's your last, and not worrying about what's gonna happen in the future. We didn't want to make it a story about sickness or about cancer, and it wasn't that — and we're so happy that it wasn't... because this movie is really about love."
Hinting at the personal strife she has experienced in the past month, Ultimate Choice winner Selena Gomez thanked her fans for always reminding her of what really matters in life. "Amid all the stuff we deal with personally, you remind me of what's important," an emotional Gomez said, "and that's giving and loving and caring about each other. And I'm not trying to preach or any of that, it's just that you guys make me better and I really appreciate everything you've done."

On 08.08.2013, Decree No. 44,318 was published amending Book II of the ICMS Rulings of the State of Rio de Janeiro, which has provisions on the tax substitution regime.
It provides that this regime also applies to the difference between internal and interstate rates for products destined for use and consumption or fixed asset. The calculation basis shall be the price of the transaction, including freight, insurance, taxes and other charges transferred or charged from the purchaser.
Besides that, it included a new provision determining that when freight, insurance or another charge cannot be included in the taxable basis, the collection of tax concerning these amounts shall be made later by the purchaser, multiplied by the value-added margins.
Finally, Decree No. 43,922/12 was amended to comprise a reduction of taxable basis for cosmetics in intrastate transactions to another ICMS taxpayer, so the tax burden shall be of 13% of the value of the sale, with 1% destined to the State Fund against Poverty.
(State Decree/RJ No. 44,318, 08.07.2013, Official Gazette/RJ 08.08.2013.

AKRON, Ohio - Akronites will finally see the sun peek out behind some clouds Tuesday, though the morning is still looking overcast.
As an area of high pressure pushes in from the Central Plains, it will keep the skies rain and snow-free, and as it continues east, will decrease the morning cloudiness as the day goes on. High pressure causes sinking motion in the atmosphere, making the air very dry and stable -- the exact opposite of what showers need to form.
Even with some sun in the afternoon, temperatures still won't warm up much. In the morning, wind chills will hover around the upper 20s, and by the afternoon will reach the low 40s.
Check out the forecast:

You read the vague implication of that headline just right: Paramount are going to make a cinematic Tom Clancy universe, and Kevin Costner will be their Nick Fury. In following up what we heard two weeks ago, Deadline tells us the actor is set to appear in Kenneth Branagh‘s Jack Ryan reboot, then play the same character in Christopher McQuarrie‘s own adaptation, Without Remorse. After that, he might even get his own film.
Not as Nick Fury, I mean. Costner is actually signed to play William Harper, described as being “a true blue American idealist who recruits and mentors both Ryan and John Kelly,” the latter of whom becomes “John Clark” by Remorse‘s conclusion. (It goes without saying he would also be the center of a series, right? Right.) The studio is currently eyeing Tom Hardy for that part, which is a plenty great choice and all — except, the guy who everyone wants a piece of isn’t so easy to obtain. You can’t just grow him on a tree.
Well, this news makes me happy in quite a few ways. First off, Costner getting his own action movie is pretty great — I rewatched JFK last night, coincidentally, and was duly reminded what a terrific performance he’s capable of — and, even better, we’ve got a little universe of spy movies waiting to kick off. It’s obvious Paramount is copying the template they helped establish years ago with Marvel, but who cares? This is precisely the kind of thing you’d employ a multi-level storytelling model to; it doesn’t hurt that spies are far more in line with my own interests than superheroes, either.
With Chris Pine playing Jack Ryan, we could even get a This Means War reunion in the eventual team-up. With McG directing!
What are your thoughts on this approach? Are Costner and Hardy good choices to join Pine?
Welcome, one and all, to the newest episode of The Film Stage Roundtable, a spin-off podcast from the madmen who bring you The Film Stage Show.

Do you sometimes feel trapped by intrusive or habitual thoughts, emotions, images? If you’ve tried changing your mind from the inside, try this practice of exercising authority over it from the outside.
Like a sculptor.
Picture in your mind how sculptors work– they move and chisel outside and above the marble, wood, etc.,– in a position of authority. They wouldn’t be able to shape it effectively if they were inside it.
This perspective may be helpful in reshaping your thoughts and feelings. In her book Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures Mary Baker Eddy describes the basis of this practice. She says that…
We are all sculptors, working at various forms, moulding and chiseling thought. (p. 248:13– click here to read this in context)
One way to get outside and above the human mind– in a position of greater authority over it– is to practice the feeling of being the creation of Spirit, with full access to Her successful, healthy qualities of intelligence, order, spontaniety, happiness, confidence, love, etc,. Spiritual qualities and feelings such as these are shaping tools like the sculptor’s chisel…the more we practice them in our thinking, responding, relating and living, the more they re-form the structure, reactions and habits of the human mind.
So to carry the sculptor metaphor a bit further, another part of this practice is to make Spirit and Her qualities your artistic model. Like the artist, then, you will mentally look at, embrace and express this model’s qualities to improve your sculpture– to make the human mind healthier, more robust, kind, joyful…spiritually confident and self-reliant.
Eddy continues her explanation of this metaphor and its practice…
What is the model before mortal mind? Is it imperfection, joy, sorrow, sin, suffering? Have you accepted the mortal model? Are you reproducing it?
…we must first turn our gaze in the right direction, and then walk that way. We must form perfect models in thought and look at them continually, or we shall never carve them out in grand and noble lives. Let unselfishness, goodness, mercy, justice, health, holiness, love — the kingdom of heaven — reign within us, and sin, disease, and death will diminish until they finally disappear. (p. 248:15-18,25– click here to read in context)

Thanks Miles! That is one of my favorite Mary Baker Eddy passages – so thank you for taking it even deeper 😉
I like the sculptor analogy, working from the inside out. Thanks Miles. This is very practical. I will forward the blog to a few friends too.
I struggle with getting wrapped up in my own head … feelings of sadness, futility, etc. This idea, you propose, of getting out of your own head and projecting healthful thoughts about yourself is a good approach. It's worked for me before. The metaphor of sculptor is good! Thanks.
Thanks for this article. Also appreciated that you cite "Spirit and Her qualities your artistic model" I always felt that the women in my life (and the feminine in me) were more receptive to divine direction. | [

Poker is a card game where players take turns betting on their hands. The rules vary from game to game but the basic premise is that the player who makes the best hand wins the pot.
Several variants of the game include a dealer, who is responsible for shuffling the cards and dealing them to each player. Sometimes this person is a non-player.
The cards are dealt faceup and each player then creates a hand with their pocket cards plus the community cards. The cards are then compared to each other.
If any player does not have a strong enough hand, they can fold. This can be done by saying “check.”
Calling – A common play for new poker players is calling, which means making a bet the same as another player’s bet or raise.
Betting – The stronger of the two choices, betting is when you place more chips into the pot. You can also bet on a specific hand, such as if you are holding a pair of kings or queens.
The best time to bet is before the flop, when you are the only player with a good hand. If you are holding a premium opening hand like a pair of kings, queens or an Ace-King combination, you should bet aggressively.
Poker is one of the most popular games in the world, and it’s a great way to win money. However, there are a few things that you should know before you sit down at the table. | [

On a dark evening, Mr. Harley Quin appears at the door of Royston Hall under the premise that his car has broken down. Once inside, he embarks upon the tragic tale of Royston Hall's former occupants, leading to a dramatic change in the perceptions of the current inhabitants - but has Mr. Quin's revelation come too late?[summary via Audible]
This is a interesting little story about a murder a suicide that happened sometime ago and Mr Quin flies in one night to solve the mystery. I haven't read many stories featuring Mr Quin and I quite enjoyed watching him untangle this one. I liked the story and also the narration. This was a good one to get me back into the groove of listening to Agatha Christie mysteries on audio. | [

The Hydraulic shear must be sized properly for the work it will need to do and the carrier it will be mounted to.
Based on Type of Work:
This is the most important item to consider when sizing a shear–what it will need to do!
Consideration must be given to the duty cycle. With continuous operation, it would be recommended to go up one size above the selected model. This will provide a long-term benefit of lower maintenance and higher productivity. Applications where the shear will only be operated part of the time can be sized according to the material it will need to process.
Based on Carrier Size:
The carrier that is selected to operate the shear must have the necessary oil flow and lift capacity to safely handle the attachment plus any material that may be held in the jaw. BTI has assigned a recommended Carrier Weight range for 2nd and 3rd member installation for each shear. If the operating weight of the carrier falls within this range, the carrier will safely handle this model. If the desired shear falls outside of this recommended carrier weight range, the carrier’s lifting capacity and oil flow will need to be verified to ensure a proper fit.
The maximum lifting capacity of the carrier at any position must be equal to or greater than 1.3 times the weight of the Shear. Please consult the lifting specification of the excavator for third member information and consult the manufacturer for lifting capacity for second member installations. The maximum lifting capacity is usually at the lowest when the boom is at full reach. This is the value that must be compared to the operating weight of the shear.
A required oil flow range is specified for each shear. Oil flow within this range is adequate for operation. However, for maximum cycle time the carrier should be capable of providing the maximum required flow. Compare the maximum oil flow requirement of the shear with the oil flow capacity of the carrier. It may be necessary to combine the flow from two pumps in order to provide the required amount. Remember each shear will require an additional low flow circuit to operate the hydraulic rotation motor.
Carrier Weight Range:
Find the carrier weight at the top of the chart. Follow this line down to intersect with the suggested carrier weight range for each shear model (gray bars). If the operating weight of the carrier falls within this range, the carrier will safely handle this model.
The shear can be installed as a second member by replacing the outer stick boom, or as a third member by replacing the bucket. | [

We’re back with the second series of Bollywood Style Lehenga inspiration for all you bride-to-be’s. Check out our picks here!
Karisma Kapoor in a baby blue lehenga
This color is stunning. The outfit is beautiful. And Karisma looks so elegant. We love this baby blue and gold mirror work lehenga. It would be so perfect to wear for your wedding sangeet or mehendi. If you like keeping your outfit light, comfortable and yet pretty then this one’s definitely for you.
Alia Bhatt in an all red lehenga
We had to find a lehenga that was all red in color, with gold work on it. And we thought this one is super! Alia Bhatt wore this at the India Couture Week in 2014. What we like about this outfit is that the lehenga is supremely heavy but the blouse has minimal work – just the pretty bootas on the sleeves, which look amazing. We definitely suggest amping up the dupatta though – you could make it only red, or only gold with loads of bootas and some pretty latkans.
Sonakshi Sinha in a peach and gold lehenga – jacket
This is a Manish Malhotra creating. We love everything about this – the peach and gold combo, the borders at the bottom of the lehenga, the black border detailing, the small bootas all over the jacket, the overall style…so basically everything. This would make for stunning reception wear. And if you are willing to experiment, then we recommend wearing this for your pheras too. Just get a nice peach dupatta with heavy borders done and you are sorted.
Anushka Sharma in a white and gold combo
The sheer simplicity of this lehenga is what we love. Love the floral detailing on the lehenga and dupatta. And teaming this up with a striped contrast blouse adds that slight edge. Totally love this look for an engagement or reception. Simple yet stunning!
Deepika in all gold
We absolutely, totally adore and recommend this look – from head to toe! Firstly love the choice of the all gold outfit. If you’re looking for something that is heavy flowy, indo-western then this is your inspiration. Secondly, love the makeup – very edgy! You could swap this for a red lip and still look stunning. This outfit is what we would wear to our reception!

Epic Manager Pc Game With Crack Cpy Torrent 2021
Epic Manager Pc Game Crack The decades-long war in the land of Australia gave way to a sudden calm, and crowds of soldiers had no choice but to hire mercenaries for adventurous agencies. Epic Manager gives the player control over one such agency, Epic Manager Cpy part of a regulated system where the least successful companies — those that fail to remove goblins or complete the fewest tasks — are pushed into obscurity.
Epic Manager Cpy :
The first steps a player has to take is to select the original adventurer from a draft. These projects come up so often and allow parties to be held in different classes. Epic Manager Codex Until the game Meat and Bones, the main goal of the player is to complete quests and battles to earn fame. The most famous agency is promoted and occupies better searches and mercenaries.
Epic Manager Torrent :
The Tycoon and the managerial side of the game are surprisingly thorough so much that it took me, a passionate Football Manager player, a long time to get used to it. Staying at the best adventure agency in the unit isn’t too tedious a job, Epic Manager Torrent but ensuring that you’re always black in the goldfield can be a lot of fun. This is exacerbated when you have to renew your country’s contracts with higher salaries, especially when adventure seekers can leave your agency altogether by offering too low a salary.

Investors flock to Australia
Nearly 15,000 investment based visas were granted since the start of the pandemic under the 188 visa scheme that allows people to buy their way into Australia.
The business innovation and investment visas require applicants to have millions of dollars in personal or business assets to stay in the country, which the government has defended as an important way to attract investment in Australia.
Figures from the Department of Home Affairs show it issued 10,210 of the 188 provisional visas and 4396 of the 888 permanent visas in the 15 months since the international border closed.
The pace has picked up since the department told a parliamentary inquiry last year that between 20 March and 14 September, it had only granted 485 business innovation and investment visas.
The figures, from March 21, 2020, to June 30, 2021, also show almost 3500 people holding a business innovation and investment visa have entered Australia during that time. That includes 2904 provisional visa holders and 524 permanent visa holders.
The Government last year removed the requirement for people holding a business innovation and investment visa, whether permanent or provisional, to apply for a travel exemption.
Grattan fellow Henry Sherrell said: “A lot of countries sell residency and citizenship. This is the way Australia does it.”
The Productivity Commission in 2016 raised concerns the 188 visas were a “pathway for investing ‘dirty money’ in Australia”. However, a spokesperson for the Department of Home Affairs dismissed this as a genuine concern. Stating, “There are integrity measures in place to ensure the program is not targeted by economic fugitives or used for money laundering.”
The Government has reformed the 188 visa program recently to reduce the number of streams available and tightened criteria, with changes effective from July 1 2021. The Home Affairs spokesperson said, “The changes sharpen the focus of the program on higher value investors, business owners and entrepreneurs and improve the quality of the investments and applicants.”
There are several ways to qualify for a 188 visa. Under the business innovation stream, applicants must buy or start a business and also have $1.25 million in total net business or personal assets.
Under the investor stream, applicants must be nominated by a state or territory agency and spend $2.5 million on qualifying investments. This was raised from $1.5 million on July 1 and at least $500,000 must be in venture capital or private equity, while the rest can be in managed funds.
The significant investor stream requires an investment of $5 million, with at least $1 million in venture capital or private equity.
The Home Affairs spokesperson said, “From 2012 until early May this year the program had attracted more than $15.9 billion into the Australian economy. Last year the government doubled the places available in the annual migration program, though it has been trimmed in the current financial year to reflect the tightened criteria.”
Grattan has previously recommended the 188 visa stream be abolished because it is not an effective way to promote innovation or investment in Australia. Mr Sherrell said, “The income of people using the business stream was about $20,000 a year compared with $60,000 for a skilled visa worker and they mostly started businesses in retail or hospitality rather than innovative industries.”
Abul Rizvi, the former deputy secretary of the Department of Immigration, said the investor visa benefited the applicant more than Australia.
“They get their money back at the end of the investment period but they get permanent residence in Australia, which means they get all the benefits of being able to park their family in Australia while they continue their business in another country,” Mr Rizvi said.
“The family gets access to things like Medicare and free education but their business is predominantly still somewhere else.”
However, Sterling Migration would like to point out that Mr Rizvi’s comments are not entirely correct.
Labor spokesman assisting immigration and citizenship Andrew Giles said the wealthy business people and foreign investors had “the red carpet rolled out by Mr Morrison’s questionable program all at the expense of stranded Australians”.
“Under [this Government], if you’ve got money, you can buy a visa to come into Australia while everyone else is left behind,” Mr Giles said.
Again, Mr Giles comments are more politically driven and not entirely accurate.
However, what is clear is the increase in 188 visa approvals in recent months. These incredible figures highlight Australia’s popularity as one of the world’s preferred destinations for investors. | [

Below are before, during and after photos of the construction of a red asphalt and part driveway in the Perth Hills suburb of Hovea.
The existing hardstand surface was scraped clean and scarified to allow for a new layer of gravel/ferricrete.
The surface was heavily watered down, levelled, compacted and waterbound.
Once the surface was dry the following day the area was tacked with a bitumen emulsion and sealed with a 25mm thick layer of 7mm laterite hotmix/asphalt with 1% oxide.
The area was then cooled down with water to allow for immediate use.
After these photos were taken the area was sprinkled with sand to avoid any possible scuffing while the asphalt is fresh. | [

Subaqueous gypsum (CaSO4·2H2O) crystals are relatively common in epithermal systems where sulfide ore deposits are present. The Giant Geode of Pulpí (Almería, SE Spain) hosts some of the largest (up to 2 m in length) subaqueous gypsum crystals discovered to date. Here, we present the first U-series ages of its crystals and reconstruct the oxygen and hydrogen isotopic composition (δ18O and δ2H) of the Pulpí paleo-aquifer from which the crystals formed by using stable isotopes of gypsum hydration water. We successfully dated the onset of gypsum precipitation in the Geode at 164 ± 15 ka. However, the extremely low U concentration (<11 ppb) and relatively high detrital Th content (230Th/232Th < 3.2) hinder accurate dating other gypsum samples. The δ18O and δD values of the paleo-aquifer during the growth of the crystals aligned with the local meteoric water line, suggesting that the sulfate-enriched mother solution consisted of meteoric water that recharged the aquifer during that period. The mean isotopic composition of the Pulpí paleo-aquifer (δ18O = −6.5 ± 0.1‰ and δ2H = −42.3 ± 0.5‰) during the formation of the crystals was similar to the current groundwater in this area (δ18O = −6.1 ± 0.8‰, δ2H = −42 ± 6‰). The isotopic differences observed in samples collected from distinct locations and in individual crystals were probably related to changes in the isotopic composition of the aquifer, as a consequence of varying climate that impacted on the isotopic composition of rainwater during thousands of years in this region. Our results indicated that subaqueous selenite crystals may be useful for paleo-hydrological reconstructions. However, improving the current analytical techniques for dating gypsum with low U concentrations will be essential to obtain accurate and reliable records from Quaternary gypsum cave crystals in the future.

Remember the 1990s when we all wore the WWJD (What Would Jesus Do) bracelets? They were all the rage and it was unanimous with a ‘saved’ Christian.
Let me explain that a bit more…reflecting on my own life. I was saved when I was 16, just out of school and had started attending this fantastic church. I had started making ‘Christian’ friends and I could not have been happier. Enter these WWJD bracelets- every young person had one, or several to show that they were truly being led by God.
These bracelets were designed to lead young people to make the right decisions by simply looking at the bracelet. How does this work you ask? Let me illustrate- if my friend was to call me to a party that had alcohol, I would look at my bracelet and think ‘What Would Jesus Do?’ and tell my friend that I would not come along to a party because that’s not what Jesus would do.
As a young person, my life’s decisions were led by the bracelet. Fast forward several years and several life experiences and I hear Christians going around telling others whom they consider of a ‘lesser’ faith how to live their lives and how these non-Christians are not living their lives how Jesus would.
Christians who believe that they have been chosen by God have all too often gone around telling non-Christians that God hates the way they live and they’re not going to heaven- to the extent where they believe that non-Christians must live like those who have been saved.
Here’s a different perspective. Let’s look at What Jesus Would Actually Do.
Too often getting saved seems to give us airs and graces and we forget that we were saved by His grace- not by our actions. We end up being like the unmerciful servant in Mathew 18:21-35.
We’ve forgotten that our behaviour is not what Jesus would ever do. He has never once condemned anyone for their sin.
He never had any airs or graces about His status and never judged anyone for their sexual orientation or their lifestyle. He knew who He was and didn’t waver from it- but that didn’t mean He condemned anyone either…well, apart from the religious sorts.
He never actually mentioned anyone’s sin either- He just says “go, sin no more.” this tells me that God doesn’t have categories for sin. Sin is sin according to Him.
Unless we look at the Word in the true intent it was written, we are going to fail as Christians in our purpose. Any wonder why the world loathes Christians? We have fallen short of our purpose and failed miserably in our only job- to go be witnesses unto the ends of the earth. We have instead gone as judges- forgetting that it’s not our place to judge.
Who am I to judge anyone who is not living a lifestyle that doesn’t please me? I only have to take a page from the book of Jude. No one had more right to curse the devil than Michael the archangel, and yet, “But even the archangel Michael, when he was disputing with the devil about the body of Moses, did not himself dare to condemn him for slander but said, “The Lord rebuke you!” Jude 1:9
How am I living in accordance to the Word if I don’t let it guide my every action?
Do we somehow think that we have actually led people to Christ or salvation when we tell people they are sinners because they identify as LGBTQ+ or drug addicts or prostitutes?
How did we give ourselves a title to judge because the Bible says that even Jesus didn’t judge. He came down to earth to display unconditional love and acceptance.
While He hung around with tax collectors and prostitutes, He never let go of His faith and through love He brought them to the knowledge of God- if you ask me- that’s what Jesus would do. | [

2020 Ford F-150 King Ranch Crew Pickup
Please confirm the accuracy of the included equipment by calling us prior to purchase.
|3.5 L/213 V6 Cylinder Engine|
|Four Wheel Drive|
I bought a 2014 F150 King Ranch - the best truck ever. Larry Cheek helped me and he was a fantastic customer advocate. I am about to buy another vehicle, I live about 100 miles away, and I am coming back to have Larry Cheek and Mooresville Fords sell me my vehicle.
I recently traded in my 2011 explorer. My sales man was Wilbur. I've never had such great service when buying a vechile and this is my 3rd vehicle I bought. Wilbur makes you feel comfortable and he definitely puts his customers first. I highly recommend going to see Wilbur and Mooresville Ford if you are looking for a vehicle. This is the only place I will go for now on to get my vehicles. Thank you Wilbur for your great service!
I can t explain how much I appreciate the TEAM that Mooresville Ford has! Phil, John Keyes and Michael Blank helped my wife and I out when we made our purchase of a new Focus. Mooresville Ford is one of few company s that put the customer first and look to fulfill their wants and needs. They have made a customer for life out of my wife and I. Anytime anyone asks me where we purchased our Ford or know of a good place to purchase, I will say without hesitation Mooresville Ford. Chett
Mooresville Ford is absolutely the best! We have purchased so many cars and trucks from them that I have lost count and would not even consider going anywhere else. Best sales staff ever - ask for Doug or Trevor!!!! We just purchased a 2016 Ford Escape and love it!!! The service department closes at 6 and I took my Ford Mustang there just a few minutes before they closed, but they took complete care of us. Five star rating is not enough - they are better than that!!!

Christmas is a popular time for the release of box sets and special editions of books, CDs, and TV and movie franchises. As a minimalist, I always thought them to be a waste of time and money, often considering them pure moneymakers for publishers. And I’m not the only one. The Canadian band Barenaked Ladies takes a good poke at the topic with the song Box Set.
But then I married a music collector and over time my attitude has changed. My husband grew up loving British pop music in a time when it was next to impossible for him to get CDs or vinyls delivered to him in Spain. Now, twenty years later musicians like Bananarama, George Michael, and the production trio Stock Aiken and Waterman are re-releasing special editions with extra material, detailed liner notes and remastered versions of the original songs. And he’s over the moon! Instead of grainy-sounding copies of the music of his youth, he has crisp, clean sounding versions with all the information the music addict in him could want, and more!
Before buying your loved ones a box set or special edition of something, there are some things you’ll want to consider:
Does the gift contain enough extras to be worth the cost? For example, the George Michael special edition has extra CDs and a DVD. But if your George Michael fan never plays DVD concerts at home, there’s no real point in getting it.
Is the series complete? At the end of every season, Game of Thrones releases another combined box set (take a look at seasons 1-6 versus seasons 1-7). Knowing, however, that the series just has one season left (although we are going to have to wait until 2019 to see it), buying the current box sets will just create clutter, especially for a die-hard fan who will want the complete series when it comes out.
Will the box set be used or will it just sit on a shelf looking pretty? Box set and special editions are excellent gifts for my husband because he will spend hours pouring over the liner notes, discussing the differences in production quality from the original to the new versions, and going into detail with me about how when and where the extra tracks were created and why they didn’t appear in the original. However, for all that I’m a mega-fan of Anne McCaffrey’s Dragonriders of Pern, buying me the 18-book set of the series would just mean having to find shelf space to display them. Someone with a large library, though, may be thrilled to get the 8-book Outlander series.
Finally, is the format on its way out? I know people who still hold onto VHS movie box sets, even though they no longer have a VHS player in the house. It’s the same with DVD. As BluRay and the new Ultra HD BluRay formats take over, buying a DVD box set of the Harry Potter franchise might be like giving someone a set of stone tablets instead of a book.
With all that in mind, here are some suggestions for box sets and special editions that might just be the perfect gift this holiday season.
- The Harry Potter series (in hardcover, paperback or decorative trunk)
- The Narnia Chronicles
- The Hunger Games
Or pretty much any series that you might want.
TV Series and Movies:
Or, again, any series or movie franchise you could imagine.
- Pink Floyd (Wish You Were Here)
- The Beatles
- One Direction (Made in the A.M.)
- Donna Summer
- ABBA (on vinyl) | [

The consumers in the Chattogram region get 300mmcfd of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from Monday.
Karnaphuli Gas Distribution Company Ltd (KGDCL) is supplying gas to local industries, gas-based power plants, fertiliser units and domestic consumers.
KGDCL officials said the Gas Transmission Co Ltd (GTCL) today increased the LNG supply to 300 mmcfd from its previous 100 mmcfd since August 18.
Businesses in Chattogram see the increasing gas supply as a boon for them and hoped the required gas supply to the region will continue.
KGDCL sources said Chattogram supply line received gas from the central generating station (CGS) built at Rangadia of Anwara on the river's south bank.
Raozan 420 megawatt (MW) Power Plant, Shikalbaha 60MW Power Plant, Chittagong Urea Fertiliser Ltd and Kafco Fertilier Plant are lying idle for months for gas crisis.
The consumers were set to get the first regasified gas supply from May.
But technical issues, rough sea and the delay in pipeline construction left the country's first LNG cargo stranded off the Chattogram coast.
KGDC sources said the second ship with 138,000 cubic metres of LNG arrived from Qatar for the LNG import facility in the Bay of Bengal off Moheshkhali Island.
The first consignment of 136,900 cubic meter of LNG was brought by MT Excellence, they added.
Chattogram region had been suffering from acute gas shortages for the past several years.
The authorities suspended supply to the region on grounds of a drastic fall in production at Sangu Gas Field.
Domestic, industrial and commercial consumers and businesses here alleged that the gas transmission authorities only deprived Chattogram of gas supply from the national grid.
The demand for gas in Chattogram ranges between 480 and 500 mmcfd.
The region has 5,80,000 consumers, including 1,500 industrial units, 70 compressed natural gas (CNG) stations, 5,75,000 domestic users and 4,092 others.

Pork’s Impact on Illinois
Illinois currently ranks fourth in the U.S. in pork production.
The pork industry is a vital part of our local and state economies:
- Pork contributes $1.9 billion annually to the state’s economy.
- Pork generates more than $176 million in taxes.
- Pork supports 18,500 jobs in Illinois and 800,000 jobs in the U.S.
Pork production is a significant demand factor for crops.
- Market hogs consume more than 94 million bushels of corn and 28 million bushels of soybeans per year in Illinois.
- 57 percent of the U.S. corn crop last year was used as livestock feed, with hogs consuming nearly 1.2 billion bushels, or about 10 percent of the total crop.
- Pork producers purchased the equivalent of 424 million bushels of soybeans last year, or about 27 percent of all soybean meal in the United States.
By using information, better technology, and improved genetics, we’re producing a better product. U.S. pork contains 31% less fat than in 1983, tastes better, and it is a bargain at the grocery store.
Pig farming has changed dramatically over the last 50 years just like every other segment of the American economy. Today’s farmers have to be more efficient to compete in a global economy. Frequently, that means becoming larger or more specialized in order to reduce costs.
For some, a changing hog industry is a very emotional issue. For some who remember how farming used to be, these changes are painful. The fact of the matter is farmers have to change to be successful. As Winston Churchill once said, “Take change by the hand or it will take you by the throat.” | [

YEREVAN (Combined Sources)–A Russian border guard was killed by a Turkish border guard after crossing a river at the Armenian-Turkish border on Sunday. Turkish border guard shot at the Russian soldier eight times. Russian and Turkish sides have launched an investigation into the incident.
Russian border guarding troops stationed in Armenia have lodged an official protest with the Turkish authorities over the death of their serviceman. A senior Russian military commander told RFE/RL that Sergeant Nikolay Yablitsev was shot dead after being lured into Turkish territory from his post on the Armenian side of the border. General Mikhail Naymilo condemned the shooting as a "barbaric murder" that violated international conventions.
Earlier in the day–AFP news agency quoted Turkish officials as saying that an unknown man who crossed the Arax River marking the border between Turkey and Armenia was gunned down after he ignored verbal orders to stop and warning shots. They said the incident occurred close to the town of Karakoyunlu in the eastern Turkish province of Igdir. But Naymilo claimed that the Russian border guard was on duty when Turkish soldiers "invited him to have a smoke" from the other bank of the river. He said Yablitsev received seven fatal bullet wounds after leaving his post. He said the two sides have agreed to conduct a joint investigation into the incident.
Armenia guards its border with Turkey jointly with Russian troops. Serious incidents along the frontier–which Ankara has kept closed since 1993–are rare. | [

The African National Congress has declined to respond to comments by Julius Malema that ailing former president Nelson Mandela should be treated at the Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital to demonstrate the government's confidence in the public healthcare system.
Malema made the comments at an Economic Freedom Fighters rally in Sebokeng at the weekend.
He said former president Mandela was not receiving treatment at the Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital because that would be tantamount to risking his health.
Malema added that government needed to invest more in the Soweto facility so that people such as Mandela and government ministers could receive health treatment there.
"We should have used Baragwanath in the past 20 years. It could have been one of the best hospitals," said Malema.
However, the DA Gauteng health spokesperson Jack Bloom said that Madiba was being treated at a private hospital because the military hospital which would usually care for him was mismanaged and short on resources.
Bloom added that state hospitals would only improve if money was spent properly without waste and corruption.
"It's sadly true that former president Mandela would receive poor treatment at Chris Hani - that point by Malema is valid. However, I think Malema is a very poor role model. He doesn't pay his taxes and he's up on corruption charges," said Bloom.
The former ANCYL leader announced the official formation of the EFF last week.
The firebrand politician said the party would fight for the nationalisation of mines and land reform without compensation. He said that while these policies may result in sanctions and a situation similar to Zimbabwe's, he thought South Africans were ready. | [

Here begins the final section of the Book of Judges which is of the nature of an appendix. The events here recorded must have taken place closely following the death of Joshua. They give us a picture of the internal condition of the people, and it is probable that they were added with that intention by the historian.
Micah's act was a violation of the second commandment. He made to himself and for his household certain images. In doing so he was not adopting the idolatries of the heathen. His mother's language reveals her recognition of Jehovah as she said, "Blessed be my son of Jehovah." Moreover, Micah's own words, when persuading a Levite to act as his priest, show the same thing, "Now know I that Jehovah will do me good...." The images were intended to aid him in the worship of Jehovah but were distinctly forbidden, as we have said, in the second commandment.
The whole story is a (revelation of a degenerate condition. Micah had robbed his mother. On making restitution he accompanied the act, at her instigation, with what she supposed to be a religious movement. The consent of the Levite to become a priest in the house of Micah for the sake of a living is a further revelation of degeneracy. Micah was attempting to maintain his relationship with God by violating the commands of God. The Levite degenerated into an attempt to secure his own material comfort by compromise.

Honeywell Ships Mobile Refineries to Danger Zone FieldsThomas Black
Honeywell International Inc. has a solution for oil producers that need a refinery in a region where bombs and bullets fly. It will ship one ready-made.
The first of these small, portable units will be built in a factory, sent by sea to Iraq, trucked inland and “plunked down” on a prepared foundation, said Rajeev Gautam, president of Honeywell’s oil and gas service unit. The daily production capacity will be about 10 percent of a big refinery that would have to be built on location.
Assembling the equipment off-site may help energy companies solve the critical challenge of keeping large construction crews out of harm’s way while erecting infrastructure to tap oil fields in dangerous locales. Nigeria, the OPEC member that’s fighting the Boko Haram militant Islamist group, is among the markets where Honeywell sees sales potential, Gautam said.
“There are certain geographies where this is going to make sense,” Gautam said in an interview at UOP, Honeywell’s oil and gas service unit, in Des Plaines, Illinois.
The modular building of oil and gas equipment helps reduce cost overruns and construction time and is also a way for Honeywell to boost sales of its energy technology. UOP already has experience building modular equipment for natural gas processing and is expanding that technology to crude oil refineries.
The company bought a 70 percent stake in Thomas Russell Co., a builder of modular natural gas processing plants, for $525 million in 2012.
Plans to take Thomas Russell global are under way with the sale of a modular gas processing facility that will be delivered to Iraq, the first outside of North America for the business, said Rebecca Liebert, chief of UOP’s gas processing and hydrogen business.
As it expands the modular concept to refineries, UOP this week signed a contract to deliver a prefab unit for crude oil to Iraq.
UOP, whose sales rose 31 percent to $2.96 billion in 2013, is also seeking opportunities to build modular pieces for large refineries, Gautam said. Sections of a refinery, such as a Merox unit to remove sulfur, are small enough to assemble in a factory and plug into the work site, he said.
“When you look at mini-refineries and modular units of various kinds, this is a pretty good growth factor for us,” he said.
The portable refinery, which takes about two years to build, will help restart stalled projects in Iraq, Gautam said. Although front-end engineering work has been done for large refineries, funding hasn’t been available because partners are unwilling to risk operating in a country racked by violence, he said.
In regions, including Southeast Asia, where it’s challenging to build large projects and stay within budget, the small modular refineries also make sense, Gautam said.
With the modules, the foundation work is completed at the site and Honeywell ships the equipment encased in a steel frame that’s ready to be installed.
The modular processors for natural gas, which separate the different gases contained in the fuel, reduce fabrication and rework costs by about 30 percent compared with building them from scratch in the field, Liebert said. In U.S. gas fields, rain delays or harsh winter weather can slow construction and it’s getting harder to find qualified workers in places like North Dakota, she said. UOP builds its modular processors in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
“In these really rough environments, modularization to the fullest extent that you can is the way to go,” Liebert said.
UOP in September formed a joint venture with Black & Veatch to offer modular liquefied natural gas plants, which could help ease some flaring of natural gas while Bakken drillers wait for more pipelines to be built. The factory-built processing and liquified natural gas plants can be delivered in 12 months, Gautam said.
“We can really promise the customer fast gas,” he said. “That is worth real money to them.”
It’s worth real money to UOP too. Modular construction of equipment helps the company sell its refining and gas processing technology, which is where the profits are, Gautam said.
“You can license and have it stick built or I can deliver it as a modular unit,” he said. “It’s still the technology that we’re known for, otherwise I’m just a metal bending shop.” | [

In my case, before I start designing a ppt, I think, “What are we going to make today?” I habitually visit places like flat icons to see them and shape my thoughts.
So, once we get to the conclusion that it’s going to be fun, we download it and convert it into wmf, and based on that, we design it through the process of melting the contents of the ppt.
When you want to create a ppt template or organize a specific page, you’re at a loss.
But you can think of the specificity of the object and the features it has, and then you can think of the way it is expressed, and the extension of the design. Today, I started with the paint roller icon and used the painted part of the roller as an area of data expression.
I think continuing to think will make a difference.
What color did you use with the roller?
Then it might end with coloring and finishing, but what value did I use to express?
Then can’t we put information on the visual role itself? I think I can think of that.
Through transparency designations, it makes the difference in the degree of thickness and blurring, and it contains information about the value.
If you think higher values should be darker, you can specify the rest of the difference in transparency on a percentage basis.
72% cotton transparency 28% so that a darker fill color is expressed. | [

As hobby breeders listed on the web sites of the Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier Club of (SCWTCGTB) America (SCWTCA) and the Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier Club of Greater Tampa Bay, we receive many phone calls and e-mails asking about the availability of puppies. Many people who contact us have done their homework. They want to know about the diseases that run in the breed and ask about the testing we do on our breeding stock. Many indicate an understanding about Wheatens being high-maintenance dogs which require regular grooming. Some people tell us they are looking for a non-shedding dog, because of a family member with allergies. Others ask about the size and temperament of our dogs. Some people want to know how long we have been breeding, and if we own the dam and sire of the litter. Eventually, most everyone asks about the price of our Wheatens and tells us they are just looking for a pet.
At that point, we explain about pet or companion puppies. We say that we are hobby breeders who breed show dogs, and, as such, generally breed only Champion sires and dams. Our goal is to breed healthy dogs who most closely meet the breed standard. Before we keep a puppy for potential showing and one which may become future breeding stock, we evaluate the puppies for conformation to the breed standard. Ideally, a show potential puppy should be closer to the breed standard than its dam. Our goal is to improve our line with each successive generation. It is unlikely that all of the puppies in a litter meet these stringent requirements, so the puppies who do not have show potential become the pets or companions of people who are not interested in showing their dogs. A typical litter may only have one show-potential puppy. We place the rest as companions. The companion dogs from our breeding program or those from other hobby breeders are very well-bred dogs. The pedigrees of these dogs include many generations of champion show dogs, many of which were the most famous dogs in our breed.
Prior to selecting a stud dog, hobby breeders study his pedigree in concert with the pedigree of their bitch to ensure they do not end up with too many of the same dogs in the two pedigrees. Hobby breeders also study the SCWT Open Registry of dogs affected with diseases such as PLE and PLN (protein-wasting diseases), Renal Dysplasia, and Addison’s disease to insure the dogs used for breeding are not closely related to affected dogs. Although this effort does not guarantee a dog free of these diseases, it does help decrease the likelihood of producing an affected dog. In an effort to reduce the incidence of heredity diseases affecting our breed, many hobby breeders are introducing European bloodlines into their breeding programs to broaden the gene pool.
As required by the SCWTCA Code of Ethics, hobby breeders who are members of the SCWTCA and/or its affiliated SCWTCGTB have breeding stock over two years of age OFA (Orthopedic Foundation for Animals) certified free of hip dysplasia. Additionally, they have the eyes examined by a veterinarian ophthalmologist to ensure the breeding stock is free of eye disease and have breeding stock undergo blood and urine testing for indication of any heredity diseases. A well-bred dog is also more likely to have better bone structure and a proper gait, which can prevent orthopedic problems.
We talk to callers about the hazards of buying a commercially-bred (puppy-mill) dog from a pet store, whose only interest in selling puppies is making money; or from a “back-yard” breeder who does not know what he or she is doing. Buying a puppy from such sources is like buying a “pig in a poke”. It increases the likelihood of future health and/or temperament problems.
On the other hand, the main interest of hobby breeders is in improving the breed. We recommend that callers contact only breeders who are members of the SCWTCA and/or its affiliated SCWTCGTB who abide by the SCWTCA Code of Ethics. We tell them not to buy a puppy from any other source. When a caller indicates an interest in adopting an older Wheaten, or indicates the inability to purchase a puppy from a hobby breeder; we recommend they contact Wheaten Rescue and provide them with the necessary contact information.
The SCWTCA Code of Ethics includes four sections: General Conduct, Breeding Soft Coated Wheaten Terriers, Placing Soft Coated Wheaten Terriers, and Competing with Soft Coated Wheaten Terriers. For a copy of the complete SCWTCA Code of Ethics, go to the Wheaten web site at www.scwtca.org. A summary of the ethics relating to breeding and placing puppies includes:

The New General and Mining Code: Alphabetically Arranged, for the Use of Mining Companies, Mining Engineers, Stockbrokers, Financial Agents, and Trust and Finance Companies, priced at one guinea at the time of its publication in London in 1891, harbors within it the political unconscious of the industrial age, and of an imminent century of aggravated conflict between labor and management. Devised by C. Algernon Moreing, Mining Engineer, and Thomas Neal, Secretary of the Montana Company, Limited, & the Mines Company, Limited, the volume was one of hundreds of thousands of such books that attempted to compress and encrypt messages for transmission through the telegraph using natural languages—a precursor to the algorithmically constructed codes that would come to dominate telecommunications over the course of the twentieth century, enabling information to travel more securely and at lesser cost. Now digitized and partially subjected to optical character recognition at archive.org, it contains 36,898 terms and 29,632 sentences of particular utility to those in the field of mining — arguably the ur-industry and hoist of the industrial revolution.
Texts for SMOKEPENNY LYRICHORD HEAVENBRED; Or, Last year / By constant penetration / Encroaching on the reserve, a mock musical in progress, was produced by mining Moreing’s code book in tandem with ongoing research into the history and future of copper exploitation. Telegrams housed in Michigan Tech’s Copper Country Historical Collections clarify the various ways in which the telegraph was used to bridle the laborers who constituted the corporal infrastructure of that technology. Baroque code compounds store the brute links between bodies, metal, and the market, sometimes sanitizing, at other times proving grossly expressive. The acts focus on the great strike of 1913 at the Calumet & Hecla Mining Company in Michigan’s Keweenaw Peninsula—a bloody conflict provoked by the introduction of a hazardous economizing tool into the mines: the one-man compressed air drill, known to scholars of modernism through its glorification in the form of sculptor Jacob Epstein’s 1914 readymade Rock-Drill. These acts and others were performed at the Block Museum and at 6018|North for the 2017 Chicago Architecture Biennial with interdisciplinary collaborators Judd Morrissey and Abraham Avnisan, who programmed iPads so that text frames would be advanced via the spinning and circular lurching motions of the trip-up chorus, and punctuated throughout Act V by the flashing of archival 1913 strike posters in English, Finnish, Serbo-Croatian, and Italian. | [

Most definitely safe to run! A friend of mine bought a 96GT brand new and ran nothing but Mobil 1 10w30 in it, even after he put on a Vortech blower. He just sold that car and bought a rare Pacific Green 97 Cobra vert, and runs 10w30 Mobil 1 in that one too. IMO, 5w30 oil has no business in a high performance engine, 10w30 is the better choice. It won't thin out as easily as 5w30 does.
Yep! 5w30 is simply for gas mileage. If you look at the oil recommendations in other parts of the world that don't worry about gas mileage, they rarely recommend 5w30, even on the exact same engines sold in North America. | [

Suction Cups are designed in a range of 19 diameters from 2mm to 200mm for use in delicate or heavy applications. SMC suction cups are available to fit many unusual shapes and are constructed from a variety of premium materials such as Silicon, NBR, Urethane, Fluorine etc. Installation options can be specified on either spring loaded buffers or threaded stems. Special application cups are also available such as check valve, porous material, annulus area etc.
Vacuum Generators use compressed air to generate vacuum using a venturi. Vacuum levels down to -27 inHG (-91kPa) is obtained from multi stage units with suction flow greater than 7 SCFM (200 l/min.) SMC's air vacuum generators can be connected via a manifold or used individually. These compact devices can also be customized to integrate suction filters, vacuum sensor switches, and supply/release valves onto the generator. Additionally, SMC's generators can be configured to manage distribution of vacuum from a external vacuum source.
Vacuum Filters that prevent trouble in vacuum equipment caused by contaminants in the air. They are light weight and compact. Filter elements are easily replaced without tools.
Vacuum Switches provide a completely integrated, digital solution designed to monitor vacuum status. Vacuum sensor and switch outputs are integrated into ultra-compact, lightweight units. Easy push button calibration eliminates the need for tools. Available in either easy-to-read LCD with backlit or LED readouts which display current measured value as well as set points and output mode information. Vacuum sensor switch outputs are digital NPN or PNP and analog, with simple programming and multiple application features such as failure prediction and window comparator. Vacuum sensor switches can be integrated directly onto many vacuum generators.
Vacuum Regulator products offer a variety of options including compact and lightweight design, and front or rear mounting of the vacuum pressure gauge. These vacuum regulators also offer standard panel mounting capability, adjustment resolution within 0.13kPa, and 1/8" to 1/2" threaded connection port sizes available.
ZP2V is a vacuum saving valve that when multiple vacuum pads are operated by one vacuum generator, and some of them are not holding the work piece, the reduction of vacuum pressure is restricted and the work piece can remain held by the rest of pads. When the work pieces have different shapes, the control circuit can be simplified. There is no need for switching operation when changing work pieces.
Vacuum chambers are generally used in the semiconductor manufacturing process. The peripheral equipment used to exhaust air from the supply atmospheric pressure to the vacuum chamber such as valves, pressure switches, cylinders and gate valves should meet conditions such as non-leakage, clean specifications and corrosion resistance. SMC's high vacuum products meet those demands.
Vacuum away smoke, debris, and fine particles from the work area. Features both suction and blowing modes.
Series SP adsorption plate was developed with an extremely flat surface to preserve the flatness of a workpiece surface, and adsorb without deforming. The ZCUK series is a non-rotating free mount cylinder for vacuum applications. The ZCUK was created by providing a vacuum passage in the rod of the CUK cylinder to enable a vacuum pad to be installed on the end of the rod. Series AMJ is effective for removing water droplets from the air sucked into vacuum pumps and ejectors. Series AMV exhaust cleaner separates and removes over 99.5% oil mist in compressed air and solid particles of more than 0.3µm. | [

Normally our church includes the Presidential Thanksgiving Proclamation in the Thanksgiving Eve Service. They didn’t this year, and without starting an argument about whether or not the President’s Proclamation should or shouldn’t be a part of the service, here it is. I like that the President can set aside Thanksgiving Day for our entire country. It’s a good thing. In the words of my young cousin, “Happy Ganks-Turkey!”
Americans are a grateful people, ever mindful of the many ways we have been blessed. On Thanksgiving Day, we lift our hearts in gratitude for the freedoms we enjoy, the people we love, and the gifts of our prosperous land.
Our country was founded by men and women who realized their dependence on God and were humbled by His providence and grace. The early explorers and settlers who arrived in this land gave thanks for God’s protection and for the extraordinary natural abundance they found. Since the first National Day of Thanksgiving was proclaimed by President George Washington, Americans have come together to offer thanks for our many blessings. We recall the great privilege it is to live in a land where freedom is the right of every person and where all can pursue their dreams. We express our deep appreciation for the sacrifices of the honorable men and women in uniform who defend liberty. As they work to advance the cause of freedom, our Nation keeps these brave individuals and their families in our thoughts, and we pray for their safe return.
While Thanksgiving is a time to gather in a spirit of gratitude with family, friends, and neighbors, it is also an opportunity to serve others and to share our blessings with those in need. By answering the universal call to love a neighbor as we want to be loved ourselves, we make our Nation a more hopeful and caring place.
This Thanksgiving, may we reflect upon the past year with gratefulness and look toward the future with hope. Let us give thanks for all we have been given and ask God to continue to bless our families and our Nation.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim Thursday, November 22, 2007, as a National Day of Thanksgiving. I encourage all Americans to gather together in their homes and places of worship with family, friends, and loved ones to reinforce the ties that bind us and give thanks for the freedoms and many blessings we enjoy.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fifteenth day of November, in the year of our Lord two thousand seven, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-second.

Macomb Daily: U.S. Sen. Gary Peters says legislation will make it easier to develop and test autonomous vehicles in Michigan
U.S. Sen. Gary Peters said new legislation will make it easier to research, develop and test self-driving vehicles in Michigan.
Last week, Peters, a member of the U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, introduced the American Vision for Safer Transportation through Advancement of Revolutionary Technologies (AV START) Act.
The bill aims to advance the testing and development of autonomous technology and provide more public policy on these “life-saving” technologies at the federal level. Peters introduced the legislation along with U.S. Sen. John Thune, R- South Dakota, who chairs the committee.
On Monday, Peters spoke in detail about the legislation at the Advance Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS) and Autonomous Vehicles USA Conference in Novi.
“I’m pleased we were able to work in a bipartisan way to craft legislation that will allow us to move forward with technology related to self-driving vehicles,” said Peters. “These are vehicles that will have dramatic improvements in safety.”
Peters added that with this technology in place, most traffic accidents could be eliminated. He said it’s extremely important that the federal government stays ahead of the curve when it comes public policy relating to autonomous technologies.
“It’s not easy for the federal government to stay ahead of emerging technologies,” said Peters. “We are seeing an exponential increase in technological advancement. In order to make sure the public is safe and that the proper regulations are in place, it’s important to think about the future today.
Peters co-founded the Smart Transportation Caucus, which has made the development and deployment of self-driving technologies a priority in the U.S. Senate.
In December, Gov. Rick Snyder passed into law Senate Bill 995, which made it legal to operate autonomous vehicles on public roads where before only manufacturers could test these vehicles.
• Provides enhanced safety oversight- Requires manufacturers to submit safety evaluation reports to the federal government with information addressing safety, crashworthiness, and cybersecurity through testing
• Reinforces federal, state, and local roles- ensures the U.S. Department of Transportation’s continued responsibility for automated vehicle design, construction, and performance while maintaining state and local roles in determining traffic laws, registration, and licensing
• Reduces barriers to vehicle deployment- expands federal authority to implement an enhanced review and approval process for vehicle safety standards
• Brings existing rules up to speed- Directs the U.S. Department of Transportation to act quickly to modernize existing federal motor vehicle safety standards, which were written before self-driving vehicles were envisioned.
• Improves vehicle safety and data sharing- establishes a committee of experts to identify and develop recommended standards
• Strengthens cybersecurity- Requires manufacturers to develop and implement a comprehensive written plan for identifying and reducing cybersecurity risks to self-driving vehicles
• Promotes consumer education- Advances guidelines on responsible consumer education and marketing
• Americans with Disabilities- Improves mobility for Americans with disabilities by preventing the denial of a license to operate a self-driving vehicle on the basis of a disability.

A setback, sometimes called step-back, is a step-like recession in a wall. Setbacks were initially used for structural reasons, but now are often mandated by land use codes, or are used for aesthetic reasons. In densely built-up areas, setbacks also help get more daylight and fresh air to the street level. Importantly, a setback helps lower the building's center of mass, making it more stable.
In land use, a setback is the minimum distance which a building or other structure must be set back from a street or road, a river or other stream, a shore or flood plain, or any other place which is deemed to need protection. Depending on the jurisdiction, other things like fences, landscaping, septic tanks, and various potential hazards or nuisances might be regulated and prohibited by setback lines. Setbacks along state, provincial, or federal highways may also be set in the laws of the state or province, or the federal government. Local governments create setbacks through ordinances, zoning restrictions, and Building Codes, usually for reasons of public policy such as safety, privacy, and environmental protection. Neighborhood developers may create setback lines (usually defined in Covenants & Restrictions and set forth in official neighborhood maps) to ensure uniform appearance in the neighborhood and prevent houses from crowding adjacent structures or streets. In some cases, building ahead of a setback line may be permitted through special approval.

- Communication between front-line employees and their managers may be lacking, according to a recent survey of U.S., U.K. and Australia frontline workers by operations technology platform SafetyCulture. The firm found 40% of workers said that communications from management revealed management is “out of touch.”
- Additionally, 42% of respondents said that communications from their organizations’ headquarters were often irrelevant. This negative sentiment extended to internal communications more broadly; 30% of workers said that internal comms got in the way of performing their roles.
- Even important updates may slip past frontline workers, SafetyCulture found. More than 1 in 4 respondents said their organizations did not have a “go-to” channel for such updates, while 32% said that if there was such a channel, it did not work for someone in their roles.
The Great Resignation impacted many occupational categories, but those sectors with large shares of frontline workers — such as accommodation, food services and transportation — were especially vulnerable.
Pay, benefits and the impacts of COVID-19 did play a role in frontline workers’ voluntary departures since March 2020, according to researchers at Boston Consulting Group, but others have cited poor relationships with management, lack of flexibility and a lack of appreciation as causes. Voluntary attrition further pressured employees who chose to remain at their jobs, according to an April survey by Eagle Hill Consulting.
This dynamic has played out in different ways across organizations, but one notable consequence has been an increasingly vocal labor force. Waves of strikes and near-strikes popped up across the U.S. in late 2021, many of them organized by frontline workers. Such efforts have continued in the first half of 2022, with unionization taking hold in some companies.
Though there are a number of potential ways in which employers may connect with frontline workers, training and career development continue to be emphasized. Vendor company Axonify found that frontline workers were particularly active in seeking upskilling and training content in the early phase of the pandemic. In succeeding years, employers have responded to that demand by lowering cost barriers to learning opportunities, among other strategies. | [

Market Insight: Government sales hurting car-makers
Government sales fall 22.5 per cent in August as pain continues for local car-makers
11 Sep 2012
By TERRY MARTIN
CAR sales took a massive dive across federal, state and government sectors last month, highlighting reduced public-sector spending and continued cutbacks that saw new-vehicle registrations across all tiers of government slump 22.5 per cent – including a 32.7 per cent fall in passenger cars.
While the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries (FCAI) has declined to comment on potential reasons behind the government sales downturn, the peak industry body used its monthly overview to emphasise the August result that has dragged government sales down 9.7 per cent – or almost 3800 vehicles – for the year to date.
Just 4091 government sales across Australia were recorded last month, bringing the running total to 35,129 and pointing to around 52,000 for the calendar year, based on the current monthly average.
This would represent a new low for government sales – and a fresh blow for the local car manufacturing industry – after dropping below 60,000 for the first time in recent memory last year.
In 2005, more than 87,500 government sales were recorded.
Last month’s public-sector sales decline was most striking in the passenger-car segment, where sales fell 32.7 per cent to just 1975 units. Government SUV sales were also off 19.5 per cent (910) and light commercials down 0.7 per cent (1206).
From top: Toyota Camry and Aurion Holden Cruze and Commodore.
Official figures obtained by GoAuto show that last month’s downturn was reflected across federal, state and local government sectors, with federal sales down 46 per cent (to 258), state sales down 14 per cent (2935) and local government sales down 27 per cent (1103).
Lower sales are also seen across the board on a year-to-date basis, with federal (on 2753 units), state (25,918) and local government (8618) down 31, four and five per cent respectively.
Overall government passenger-car sales are down 16.8 per cent YTD to just over 17,000 units, SUV sales are down 0.4 per cent (to 7773) and light commercial vehicles are 2.9 per cent in arrears on 10,312.
The sales downturn has hit both locally built and imported cars, but the plight of Australian car-makers comes into sharp focus with figures showing that the federal, state and local government sectors have all bought more imports than Aussie cars YTD (see separate story).
At a federal level, this has happened despite fleet purchasing rules that require Australian-made cars to be given precedence over imports by federal fleet managers or senior department officials.
August was another tough month for the Australian car-makers, with sales of locally manufactured cars down 16 per cent to just 11,927 units on the back of Holden falling 23.8 per cent (5987) and Ford down 16.4 per cent (3246).
The Altona-built Camry has kept Toyota in positive territory, up 9.7 per cent across both Camry and Aurion last month (2694) to be up 12.5 per cent for the year at just over 20,000 units.
Holden, which is now relying heavily on Cruze to compensate for Commodore’s sales decline, is up 1.1 per cent YTD with its Elizabeth-built vehicles (to 48,185), while Ford’s Broadmeadows-built models are down 7.5 per cent in 2012 to 23,166 – just 3157 units ahead of Toyota.
Commodore, Aurion and Falcon sedan sales were down 33.9, 33.5 and 18.7 per cent respectively in August, leaving the six-cylinder Toyota 12.6 per cent in arrears for the year and its two traditionally big-volume rivals both down 27 per cent YTD.
For the local light commercials, sales of Ford and Holden’s utes were down 9.6 and 21.2 per cent respectively in August, and 10.6 and 19.4 per cent YTD.
As GoAuto has previously reported, privatisation of public-owned companies and massive public-service cutbacks have seen government vehicle sales fall away dramatically in recent years, from more than 87,500 in 2005 to 60,000 by 2009.
These came back 5.6 per cent in 2010 to 63,477, only to drop 8.5 per cent last year to 58,091 units.
Based on the current running rate, government sales are zeroing in on 52,700 for the full year, although substantial declines like last month could see the final result for 2012 much worse than that.

Ooops, probably my fault. I clicked on the envelope icon to the left thinking that this would notify me of replies but having done that I saw no indication of what I had done. So now I'm not sure how to open it back up again.
Damn Icons...I remember back in the DOS days when Windows started appearing and the catch phrase was...
"Windows...the operating system for people who can't type!".
So if you can enlighten me as to how I can once again open the thread I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

Abstract: With the rapid constructions of high dam projects within China, the dragon-drop-tail spillway tunnel is introduced and widely used. Considering the high water head and large flow velocity on the dragon-drop-tail section, aerator devices are necessary for cavitation damage control. For the one placed in its initial position, it is a serious concern to design the suitable flow regime of the cavity and to control the cavity filling water due to the large flow depth and low Froude number through this aerator. In this study, the relationships between the construction parameters and the jet impact angle of the lower trajectory of the flow were theoretically analyzed for an aerator device with/without a local slope. Nine test cases with different geometries were designed, and the effectiveness of the filling water control was experimentally investigated under the different operation conditions. It is concluded that the cavity flow regime and filling water can be improved significantly if a suitable geometries of the local slope are designed. | [

Assume the value of difference between two candidates is half a trillion dollar (reasonable with crises, iraq etc.).
With twenty or less million votes being critical, the probability of a. Sngle vote changing who is president is 1/20,000,000.
The expected value of a single vote is the soceity value ($500,000,000,000) times teh probability of the vote being pivotal. * 1/20,000,000
==== $25,000 value of a single vote.
This is the value for soceity.
Thus, if voters care about their soceity as a whole, they are very reasonable in spending one. Hour to vote and giving. The public $25,000 in value. | [

Guest column: Take action to help the Earth by recycling
This guest column was written by Elisa Pokral of Bloomington with Monroe County Solid Waste Management district.
I dropped by the animal shelter to donate a cat toy and took a tour of the building. I know staff and volunteers there treat animals lovingly but with especially the dogs, you can see the dogs’ sadness, their terror and uncertainty regarding humans. Cats seem to take their situation a little bit better but there’s disengagement there, too. Older cats sense visitors out as well with caution and/or dejection/apathy. With any animal, you can see how they are observing people, which is a good trait to have, for humans as well. However, some kittens must be thinking, “Well, we might as well play!” Some may say I am anthropomorphizing but I don’t agree. Animals are very much like people, and mirror people’s life stages. Their souls speak, just as ours do. What if humans were in those cages, waiting for a loving person to care for us, understand us and take us into their lives?
This makes me think of how we humans observe each other and the Earth. Observation is critical in life. However, if we become frozen in thought or emotion, we don’t take action. You hear about so many environmental challenges on the news on all media, involving water, soil, air, land, habitat, wildlife, etc. Unfortunately, good news is left for the end. We don’t hear as much about the good people are doing, like the people who come through district gates all the time, the people who compost to reduce their trash, and those who ask questions. What can we do about human caused troubles of the Earth? A lot! Although nothing is certain in life, what is certain is that we can take action. We can educate ourselves and others. We can inspire. That’s what social impact businesses do, from the arts to the sciences.
Impermanence is the way of life. Nothing is forever. That’s the nature of life and the excitement and the wonder — from relationships, jobs to other aspects of life. However, according to NASA, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, 97% or more of scientists are in agreement that climate change is due to human activities on Earth. As solutions we can: rethink what we purchase; purchase energy efficient appliances; use organic cleaning products that do not harm our water, land, air/soil, refuse to purchase household hazardous waste that do; bring in household hazardous waste to be reused/disposed of properly; refuse to use disposables like paper, plastic cups and bags, straws and utensils; and limit our use of other disposables such as paper towels in favor of using sponges that can even be composted. Simple actions, easy tasks, love in our eyes and hands make a difference.
Recycling is the easiest way to reduce climate change. So, make sure the recycling material is empty, rinsed and clean. Then put it in the marked bin at the district’s recycling centers. Ask the attendant if you don’t know where it goes. Be a responsible recycler/earth steward. Know what is trash and what is a recyclable. Recyclables are not trash. They are valuable natural resources. Everything we wear, own, use are made from natural resources which come from the Earth. Don’t throw out pieces of the Earth. So, observe what’s going on around you. It’s always time to reexamine one’s actions and habits. Look with loving eyes at yourself and others. The certainty is that it just takes you to throw the recyclable in the bin and in the right bin. Share the love and contribute to a healthier Earth. Reach out that paw, like the shelter animals do, and take a chance. | [

Bitcoin is a form of digital currency that is created, stored, and operated using peer-to-peer technology. It is not a traditional currency like the U.S. dollar or the British pound. Bitcoin is a decentralized form of virtual currency that is created, stored, and operated using the same peer-to-peer technology. It does not have any traditional associations with any government or political entities. You should visit bitcoin-buyer.live for keeping yourself up to date with bitcoin trading.
Bitcoin are generated in a network called the Bitcoin Network. There are three components to this network. There are people who create new Bitcoin by mining them. There are a group of organizations that trade Bitcoin over the network.
The most important thing about Bitcoin is that the currency cannot be destroyed. However, if enough Bitcoin were to get into the wrong hands, it could be devalued substantially. Bitcoin are highly volatile in nature. They may go up tenfold in value overnight. The volatility can affect the buying and selling of the currencies within the network.
Many people wonder how to buy and sell Bitcoin. There are a number of online merchants that allow you to make payments in exchange for Bitcoin. These merchants have built the infrastructure to function as a worldwide transaction center. In other words, anyone can place an order with them, pay for the transaction and then transfer the completed payment back to the buyer. This is done through the network as well.
In order to buy these coins, you will need to have a crypto wallet and you will need to have some private keys as well. This is usually referred to as a wallet address. You do not want anyone else to have this. A hacker could easily steal your wallet address if it’s not secure.
There are many merchants out there who accept payments in this manner. One such merchant is BitPay. They have been in the business for quite some time now and have a very good reputation.
The best way to get your hands on a few dozen of these coins is to buy them online. There are a number of websites that offer you the chance to buy them from the comfort of your own home. You can do this securely from the privacy and comfort of your home. If you prefer, you can also use a payment service such as PayPal to make the payment for you now that PayPal allows you to buy and sell cryptocurrency.
There is another option that you may wish to consider. You can use a service called LocalBitcoins. This service works very similarly to BitPay in that they both allow you to buy and sell in the same way. But the difference is that you will be dealing with local currencies and you will be dealing with a real market. There are many places online where you can go to sell your Bitcoin for cash instantly. And by buying in the local area, you will avoid the higher transaction fees that you would have otherwise paid through the payment service.
When you are looking to buy a few coins, it is important that you choose an investment that has a high-profit potential. Bitcoins is no exception. There are hundreds if not thousands of people that are investing in this form of crypto right now. If you want to stand above the competition, you need to invest in a select few. That means you have to buy one or two in order to start off with the process.
Another thing you should consider is how much you want to spend. It is easy to see that the more you spend, the more you will end up paying for transaction fees. You should therefore try to buy a few different coins so that you have a little bit of investment left. This way you don’t have to worry about transaction fees.
One last thing to take into consideration when you are buying a few of these coins is the market you are dealing with. There are some countries that allow their residents to trade in this way without having to pay any taxes or any other related expenses. There are other countries that don’t have any such laws in place. In these instances, it can be pretty advantageous to do your transaction in a country where taxes aren’t applied. This can cut down on your transaction fee.
As you can see, you are in a very fortunate position when it comes to investing in this manner. The only caveat is that you have to know how to buy them. That is really where most investors fall short. They don’t take the time to learn what is available to them. If you want to get started quickly, I recommend that you stick with purchasing little amounts at a time. This will help you to learn the process much more easily. | [

Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death worldwide despite many years of declining mortality rates in the Western world [1,2]. Myocardial infarction carries a short term mortality rate of about 7% even with aggressive therapy, and congestive heart failure with even more distressing 20% one-year mortality. Despite significant advances in therapeutic modalities and risk-reduction strategies, the substantial burden remains. This continued health problem has prompted research into new therapeutic strategies including cardiac regenerative therapy as a new approach for severe cardiac diseases resistant to conventional therapies [4,5].
Acute ischemic injury and chronic cardiomyopathies lead to permanent loss of cardiac tissue, leading to heart failure. For pathologic situations, cell transplantation is thought to be an ideal therapeutic method for supplying
Among the stem cell types, pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) [Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) / induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs)] possess great capacity for cardiac regeneration mainly due to the prominent potential to expand and differentiate into most somatic cell lineages [13,14]. To date, no human trials using PSCs for cardiac repair have been attempted. Intensive translational researches, including the demonstration of effectiveness and safety, are needed to realize clinical application of PSCs.
Another concern is the actual phenomena which are taking place in the niche of transplanted site: does cardiac stem cell therapy bring
Concerning stem cell transplantation, as well as the transplanted cell type, the method for transplantation is also important to overcome the poor efficiency of engraftment with needle injection. A promising approach is the creation of cell sheets that better support effective engraftment of the transplants. We have shown the effectiveness of temperature-responsive cell sheet technology in basic studies.
In this chapter, we introduce the clarification for the progress and drawbacks of current cardiac stem cell therapy, and finally indicate the future directions of cardiac cell therapy through our recent researches combining PSCs and cell sheet technology.
2. Various somatic stem cell populations for cardiac stem cell therapy
To date, various somatic stem cells have been investigated for their feasibility to cardiac regenerative therapy with many basic studies.
Bone marrow hematopoietic stem cells (or circulating peripheral-blood progenitor cells) are an abundant and well characterized source of progenitor cells. A number of studies have shown that direct transplantation of bone marrow-derived cells or mobilization from endogenous reservoirs of the cell population significantly improves cardiac function [17,18]. However, other investigations found limited differentiation of bone marrow cells into cardiovascular cell types. This suggests that beneficial results were mainly due to indirect paracrine effects such as neovascularization, independent of direct tissue regeneration.
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a subset of stem cells found in the stroma of the bone marrow, adipose tissue, fetal membrane and many other tissues that can differentiate into osteoblasts, chondrocytes, and adipocytes [20,21] and also into small numbers of cardiomyocytes. MSCs are thought to be either less immunogenic than other stem cell populations or inherently immunomodulatory, alleviating the need for immunosuppression prior to transplantation. Transplantation of MSCs into infarct animal models demonstrated improved left ventricular function, reduced infarct size, and increased survival rate [8,22,23]. The major disadvantage of MSCs for this clinical application is the broad differentiation capacity; MSC populations remain highly heterogeneous and are less predictable after transplantation. Some studies have shown that MSCs differentiated into osteoblasts inside ventricular tissue after transplantation.
Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) are another promising stem cell subset which accumulate to vascular injury sites from bone marrow and incorporate into the microvasculature (vasculogenesis). EPCs can be identified by the ability to acquire the expression of endothelial cell surface makers, such as cluster of differentiation molecule 133 (CD133), CD34 and so on, both in vitro and in vivo. The research into their therapeutic use began with attempts to enhance their mobilization or incorporate EPCs directly into the vasculature of injured sites. Preclinical studies of the injection of EPCs to infarct myocardium improved left ventricular function. Although EPCs remain promising as a potential therapeutic material, they have several disadvantages for cell therapy: 1) Their heterogeneity. EPCs circulating in the peripheral blood span the full range of differentiation from angioblasts to mature endothelial cells. 2) Limited stem cell pool. Ex vivo expansion would be the only way to obtain a sufficient amount of EPCs for the treatment of an ischemic injury. 3) The pool of EPCs is reduced in patients with common comorbidities of cardiac ischemia (e.g. diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia).
Skeletal myoblasts (SMs) are a stem cell population derived from the satellite cells which exists beneath the basal membrane of adult skeletal muscle tissue. SMs have been considered as an attractive source for cardiac restoration because of the small potential for teratoma formation, availability for autologous transplantation, resistance to ischemic condition and so on. Most transplantations in animal disease models improved left ventricular function and decreased ventricular remodeling [10,30]. There are however, two main limitations; the first is | [

VASCO: With Cortalim area facing water supply
shortage for more than a month, the Public Works Department
), Mormugao taluka, is working hard to ensure that all the areas under its jurisdiction are receiving adequate supply.
Assistant engineer (PWD) Vishwambher Bhende attributed the shortage to the numerous breakdowns, as well as the shifting of pipelines and booster pumps on account of the construction of flyovers and bridges, and this has hit the schedule of water
supply in some areas.
While Vasco and Mormugao constituencies get water during the night, Cortalim and Dabolim receive water during daytime.
Cortalim MLA Alina Saldanha had recently threatened to launch an agitation along with villagers if water supply was not regularised.
“Due to the ongoing work on a flyover at Tari Point, Desterro, we had to take out the 100 HP booster which supplied water to the hilly areas in Sada. From mid-January, we started shutting down other valves in Mormugao constituency to continue the water supply to Sada along with Cortalim constituency. This gradually slowed down the pressure of water affecting supply in the hilly areas of Cortalim,” Bhende said.
He also said that the construction of the Zuari flyover led to the shifting and removal of many pipelines in Cortalim, adding that there have been several breakdowns as well.
“These projects are also of national importance and we will be on our toes to ensure that people don’t suffer till all these construction works are completed,” the engineer said. | [

Even the Understanding of those types of the online providers is not mandatory but by knowing them, you’re going to be able to understand more about the benefits and the disadvantages of the products and services providers prior to purchasing it. There are just 4 primary internet providers near me; DSL satellite company, cable satellite provider, satellite internet services along with the wireless internet access.
DSL or electronic Subscriber line is just a kind of the technological innovation that links the computer to the internet through the current copper phone line wiring in a location. The connection is more digital, thus you may use your cellphone whilst connecting to the internet. It is fifty times faster compared to the standard dial up connection and also is commonly used within the internet universe. Additionally, it supplies far more reliable bandwidth as compared to the cable modems however it depends on the status of the existent wiring from your region.
Cable Service supplier on the other hand is the fastest satellite supplier among the others rest of the The cable link will be precisely the exact connection with the tv cable. It’s easily accessible in the event the subject which you’re alive is insured by the important cable companies. By comparison, such a relationship is obviously 70 situations much faster compared to dialup link.
We often hear the Terms and Conditions of all WiFi, wireless net Broadband and evdo. Those are the kinds of services beneath the wireless web supplier. It really is 3-5 times much faster than the dialup link along with the easiest service for as it is the most popular service at this time. You are able to acquire direct access to some wireless internet services within your home, many hospitals, java shops or even even at the libraries that have put in this ceremony. This can be a excellent satellite internet provider in the event that you’re a regular traveler and consistently require an online relationship.
The most expensive service provider would be The satellite solutions. The sole real reason for one to register to the Satellite satellite provider is that; if there isn’t any other connection Offered in that field which you are remaining. This may occur to some really Remote place or a rural place which do not have cable or DSL connections. It is much faster compared to dial up link; therefore the contributors Usually do not take the price like a major obstacle for these to get connected with The cyber world. | [

This piece was an on scene study of a telephone pole alongside the road by a field of grass. I painted the sky based upon the colors of the sky I was seeing, but I was focusing more on the creating this moody sunset feeling in the background. The flows from the telephone pole down to the grass below and circles back through the point where the telephone wires cross. The piece overall is very simple and calm, but has dramatic undertones.
My name is Jack Sigler. Thank you for visiting my portfolio. I am an 18 year old living in Maryland, but originally from Alaska. I've been drawing all my life and I'm now starting to share my art with others. I love working in pencil, colored pencil, acrylic, and spraypaint stenciling. I do mostly landscapes of large and dynamic scenes. I paint the sides of all of my canvases black or white, they do not need to be framed. | [

The detection range of a semi-active laser guidance system can deviate significantly from the design value over a wide ambient temperature range. In this paper, a mathematical model of the detection range of a semi-active laser guidance system is built and the main factors affecting the detection range are analyzed. The parameter responsivity, which shows significant change, is found by applying the ambient temperature stress to the four-quadrant PIN detector and its signal processing chain. The relationship between the maximum detection range and ambient temperature is established based on a given signal-to-noise ratio, which is necessary for reliable detection. The target temperature and tolerance are setup for real-time temperature compensation for the four-quadrant PIN detector. The ambient temperature stress is applied to the system under compensation to verify the effect of compensation. The experimental results show that the ratio of the maximum variation of the detection range to the design point is 6.9% after the compensation is implemented when the ambient temperature changes from −40 °C to 60 °C, which is improved by 13.2% compared to that without compensation. | [

Bise is a village in Mengzi, in Honghe Hani and Yi Autonomous Prefecture, in Southwest China's Yunnan Province. Bisezhai Station, established in 1909, is one of the oldest railway stations in China. The station has witnessed more than 100 years of Yunnan-Vietnam Railway's history.
Bisezhai Station, which covers nearly 2 square kilometers, used to be an important hub along the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway, from Kunming, capital of Yunnan Province, to Haiphong Port, in Vietnam.
Construction of the 855-kilometer, narrow-gauge railway began in 1903. The line went into service in 1910. With the gauge at one meter, the railway was referred to as meter-gauge railway. The standard gauge of a railway is more than one meter.
Bisezhai Station was also an intersection station of the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway and the historic Gebishi Railway (no longer operating). Gebishi Railway, built between 1915 and 1936, was a privately owned, narrow-gauge railway that connected Gejiu, Bise and Shiping, all in Yunnan Province. The gauge of the railway was only 0.6 meter.
During the 30-plus years after Yunnan-Vietnam Railway was put into use (in 1910), dozens of trains pulled in and out of the station each day. The majority of goods imported and exported by Yunnan Province were transferred and distributed at the station.
During that time, people from various countries lived and/or worked in the village, and Chinese culture and Western culture blended within the small, prosperous Chinese village. Various shops, hotels, warehouses, coffee shops, department stores and office buildings were built in the village. Many of those buildings remain, including the Kalos Hotel.
The Yunnan section of Yunnan-Vietnam Railway is the only meter-gauge railway that still operates in China, and serves as a connection hub with a neighboring country.
Bisezhai station was one of the locations used to shoot two popular Chinese films, Youth (2017) and Forever Young (2018). Viewers were impressed by the exotic charm of both the village and the station. Thanks to the films, an increasing number of people have learned about the station, and travelled to see it. The station has become a popular destination — for both tourists and photographers — in recent years.
As one of the first railway stations in China, Bisezhai Station is of great value to the study of railway development in China. Bisezhai Yunnan-Vietnam Railway Historical and Cultural Park has been established in the village, and the park has helped boost the development of local tourism industry.

A lot more than 1,a hundred hospitals have sent a letter to Overall health and Human Expert services Secretary Alex Azar demanding that the section enforce 340B drug pricing specifications.
In recent months quite a few major drugmakers have stopped supplying 340B pricings for security-web hospitals. To start with, AstraZeneca introduced it would stop featuring special discounts for 340B medicines beginning Oct 1. Then, Eli Lilly reduce off special discounts for the medicines, with a minimal exception for insulin items.
Merck, Sanofi and Novartis have also threatened to block access to special discounts if hospitals you should not deliver them with claims facts, which the letter claims vendors have no obligation to do underneath the law.
The letter claims that the steps of these makers are “clear violations” of the 340B drug-pricing method and set a “harmful precedent.”

The 5300's performance under MacOS is far from good, and the only
Linux to run on that beast is MkLinux, without SCSI- and CD-, and with
only buggy serial port support. It's said to be faster than MacOS
though. Apart from that, the power plug and the serial port hardware
are of incredibly low quality. Do not buy this machine.

Major Fireball Meteor
The sky glows with soft pinkish colors of fading twilight in this serendipitous mountaintop vista. Taken in subfreezing temperatures, the thoughtfully composed photo shows snowy, rugged peaks seen from a mountain pass on November 14. Below lies the village of La Villa, Alta Badia in Italy's Dolomite Alps. Above the nestled village lights, the constellation Ursa Major hangs over the northern horizon. But most stunning is the intense fireball meteor. It was captured during the camera's exposure by chance as it flashed east to west across the northern horizon, under Ursa Major's familiar Big Dipper asterism. In fact, sightings of this major fireball meteor were widely reported in European skies, the most reported fireball event ever for planet Earth's American Meteor Society and the International Meteor Organization. The meteor's measured track over Germany is consistent with its origin near the active radiant of November's Taurid Meteor Shower. Taurid meteors are associated with dust from Encke's comet.

The Tarantula Nebula
The Tarantula Nebula is more than a thousand light-years in diameter, a giant region within nearby satellite galaxy the Large Magellanic Cloud, about 180 thousand light-years away. The cosmic arachnid sprawls across this spectacular view composed with narrowband data centered on emission from ionized hydrogen and oxygen atoms. Within the Tarantula (NGC 2070), intense radiation, stellar winds and supernova shocks from the central cluster of massive stars, cataloged as R136, energize the nebular glow and shape the spidery filaments. Around the Tarantula are regions with star clusters, filaments, and blown-out bubble-shaped clouds. In fact, the frame includes the site of the closest supernova in modern times, SN 1987A, right of center. The rich field of view spans about 1 degree or 2 full moons, in the southern constellation Dorado. But were the Tarantula Nebula closer, say 1,500 light-years distant like the local Orion Nebula, it would take up half the sky.

NGC 7789: Caroline's Rose
Found among the rich starfields of the Milky Way, star cluster NGC 7789 lies about 8,000 light-years away toward the constellation Cassiopeia. A late 18th century deep sky discovery of astronomer Caroline Lucretia Herschel, the cluster is also known as Caroline's Rose. Its flowery visual appearance in small telescopes is created by the cluster's nestled complex of stars and voids. Over 50 light-years across, Caroline's Rose spans about half a degree (the angular size of the Moon) near the center of the wide-field telescopic image.

The Pleiades Deep and Dusty
The well-known Pleiades star cluster is slowly destroying part of a passing cloud of gas and dust. The Pleiades is the brightest open cluster of stars on Earth's sky and can be seen from almost any northerly location with the unaided eye. Pressure from the stars' light significantly repels the dust in the surrounding blue reflection nebula, with smaller dust particles being repelled more strongly. A short-term result is that parts of the dust cloud have become filamentary and stratified. The featured deep image also captured Comet C/2015 ER61 (PanSTARRS) on the lower left.

Titan - Saturn's Moon
We have good imagery of this moon, because Cassini spacecraft was flying around it from 2004 to 2013.
The moon has valleys, lakes, and mountains. But the lakes are from hydrocarbon, not water.
Most of the liquid is concentrated in one region of the moon, covering an area of 600 X 1100 miles. There are smaller lakes outside of this area, but they comprise only 3% of the moon's liquid.
Two major seas of Titan are called Kraken Mare and Ligeia Mare.

8.3.1 Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Considerations
Many applications in harsh industrial environment are sensitive to disturbances such as electrostatic discharge (ESD), electrical fast transient (EFT), surge and electromagnetic emissions. These electromagnetic disturbances are regulated by international standards such as IEC 61000-4-x and CISPR 22. Although system-level performance and reliability depends, to a large extent, on the application board design and layout, the ISO774x-Q1 family of devices incorporates many chip-level design improvements for overall system robustness. Some of these improvements include:
- Robust ESD protection cells for input and output signal pins and inter-chip bond pads.
- Low-resistance connectivity of ESD cells to supply and ground pins.
- Enhanced performance of high voltage isolation capacitor for better tolerance of ESD, EFT and surge events.
- Bigger on-chip decoupling capacitors to bypass undesirable high energy signals through a low impedance path.
- PMOS and NMOS devices isolated from each other by using guard rings to avoid triggering of parasitic SCRs.
- Reduced common mode currents across the isolation barrier by ensuring purely differential internal operation. | [

Low frequency noise is inevitable for underwater vehicle applications. Active noise control (ANC) is widely used for its prominent advantages in comparison with objected solutions. However, active noise controller and secondary sources as well as error sensors usually locate in different sides of the shell. Wireless electromagnetic telecommunication method is unavailable due to the presence of Faraday shielding effect. Conventional wired techniques damage the structural wholeness of ships, which lead to much serious security problems.
Researchers from the Institute of Acoustics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences propose an acoustic data transmission structure for active noise control, specifically for controlling radiation noise of ships directly under the condition that the secondary sources locate outside the shell.
Researchers utilize penetration-free communication techniques to transmit data between active noise controller and sensors, where modulated signals are transmitted through metallic shell in the form of ultrasonic waves without physical damage to the ship.
Since system reliability plays a significant role, researchers add equalization algorithm to eliminate channel distortion, and carefully consider communication algorithm with ANC algorithm in order to achieve lower bit error rate. All the complicated signal processing procedures can be accomplished in central controller, which located in the inner side of the ship for convenience of signal tracing and updating.
Researchers then investigate optimized data transmission schemes for ANC. Results show the effectiveness of this scheme on compensating for channel distortion. Influences of time delay brought by the penetration-free acoustic data transmission channel are also discussed. Comparison of the simulation and real-time measurement results will improve this research in the future.
Figures below present the effects of various diagrams associated with the transmitted signals, received signals as well as equalized signals. Due to the presence of channel response signals, the eye diagram appears closed and indistinct as illustrated in Figure 1(a). The signal constellation diagram also becomes to be more scattered in the receiver as shown in Figure 2(a).
After channel equalization, constellation points reassemble around the original 64 plots and the eye pattern open again, as illustrated in Figure 1(b) and 2(b) respectively. The maximum error of this penetration-free acoustic data transmission channel is caused by the fixed-point processing, since the error of fixed signals between the transmitted and equalized under the same circumstance equals zero. The more bits researchers use for fixed-point processing, the higher precision would be acquired and thus resulting in smaller error.

"It's just, you know, things happen, and of course I'm sorry and apologetic as much as I can be," Jordyn told the outlet at the release of her Boohoo collection, which she first announced less than a day after "KUWTK" aired.
During part 1 of the season finale, the Kar-Jenner clan -- particularly Khloe and Kylie -- attempted to piece together what went down between Jordyn and Tristan on NBA All-Star Weekend. In the episode, Khloe claimed Jordyn "never once" apologized for her involvement in the scandal.
"I'm not saying things can't happen," Khloe told her sisters on the show. "I'm the most understanding, calm person ever. But Jordyn... never once has Jordyn said, 'I'm sorry.'"
"They're both at fault, I'm not just blaming Jordyn," she said at another point. "Tristan, we all know what he's capable of. Look what he did when I was nine months pregnant. But I knew who he was. I never in a million years thought that's who she was."
Also during the episode, Kim Kardashian made a bold claim of her own when she said Jordyn was supporting her family off the money from her then bestie, Kylie Jenner. On Wednesday, Jordyn hit back at Kim's comment.
"I definitely work very hard for a lot of the things that I have, and as you can see, I'm out here hustling," the influencer said. "I've always been working. I started modeling when I was 18, and you know, I work hard."
Jordyn also spoke about her collaboration with Boohoo, which will be her second time teaming up with the U.K. clothing brand. (Her first launch back in 2016 was strongly supported by Kylie.)
"Everyone loved the first collection, which was years ago, so why not come again?" she said. "It's a win-win for both of us."
"It's more of a going out collection, something with a lot of personality to where if you maybe aren't feeling like going out, but then you have that bomb outfit, it's going to inspire you," Jordyn added. "And there's a lot of different selection for all different types of girls and different body types."
The Jordyn Woods x Boohoo collection, which dropped Wednesday, features size inclusive pieces and includes everything from jumpsuits to matching co-ord sets. In addition, the line ranges from sizes 2 to 26 and costs $15 to $60.
The activewear designer concluded by discussing her new motto: "dream big."
"It's important to dream big because nothing is impossible and you have to understand that no matter where you come from, whether you start here or you start here, we all have the same amount of hours in the day," Jordyn said. "If you want to make something happen, just go for it."
Part 2 of the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" season finale airs Sunday at 9 p.m. ET on E! | [

When Your Day Doesn't Go As Planned
Last Sunday my son spoke in church. He’s 15 and doesn’t need any help, so it was extra exciting to hear what he had to say because it would be coming from him. Well, he gets up, makes a joke about the other kids being short and then proceeds to quote Mike Tyson. My little mama heart got worried; what in the world was he about to say? Here is the quote he shared: “Everyone has a plan ’til they get punched in the mouth”.
He then proceeded to tell a story about scout camp and how one of the boys stepped on a stick and it embedded into his foot. The boys had a plan and then someone “got punched in the mouth” or got a stick stuck in their foot. It was a great talk and it has left me pondering that quote.
How often do we have a perfect little plan and then, BAM, life punches in you in the mouth?
I have had many great plans of how homeschool “should” look in my own home. I have strong feelings against the word should, but that’s for another day. Anyway, I have planned several times for my monkeys to sit quietly and listen so sweetly as I read aloud to them or that they would eagerly get their school work done so we could go and play, but more often than not my days don’t look like that. I have days where kids get sick, where babies cry, tantrums are thrown, and kids are angry.
What are you going to do when that happens? Are you going to get mad at the kids and yell and scream? Or are you going to roll with the punches and figure it out?
I like to think of what do I want my end result to be? It may be my end result that day or my end result of my children leaving the home. If I don’t know where I want to be, then it doesn’t really matter what I do.
For example, if I’m not really quite sure who I am as a mom or what kind of relationship I want with my children; then it doesn’t really matter how I respond when life throws me some punches. But, if I want to be the best version of me and I want to build lasting relationships with my children then I know that when the crap hits the fan I don’t want to yell and scream; I want to do my best to be patient and figure out each little obstacle that tries to get in my way.
I want to challenge you to write down what kind of mom do you want to be? If you know what you want and where you are going then you’ll know what path you want to take when life doesn’t go as planned.
There are a few things in life that you can count on, taxes, death, and things not going as planned. You may not have control over the things that go wrong in your life, but you can sure as heck have control of how you respond. Yes, you will make mistakes, you’re human, I hope, but learn from your mistakes, apologize to those you’ve hurt or offended and do better next time. | [

Tong Zhu is Co-Chair of IGAC, State Key Laboratory for Environmental Simulation and Pollution Control, College of Environmental Sciences and Engineering, Peking University, Beijing, China.
Liisa Jalkanen is Chief of the Atmospheric Environment Research Division (AER) of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO).
Those residing in other cities aren’t so lucky. Two recent media articles highlighted the air pollution in Beijing and Salt Lake City, two cities on opposite sides of the world. In both cities, the combination of emissions and weather conditions leads to smog. And despite the advances made by London and Los Angeles, the concentrations of particulate matter in these cities remain higher than the limits set by the World Health Organization (WHO; Figure 1).
Air pollution is clearly a pernicious problem and its health impacts are set to worsen as several regions of the world urbanise rapidly. A recent report by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) says that by the year 2050, outdoor air pollution is projected to be the world’s top environmental cause of mortality, ahead of dirty water and lack of sanitation (OECD 2012). But human health is just one dimension of air pollution. Unclean air also affects crop growth and reduces the productivity of agriculture (for example, Shindell et al. 2012). It affects climate in a complex manner. Understanding the types and spatio-temporal patterns of urban air pollution is crucial to exploring its implications for human and ecosystem health, food security and climate.
In September 2012, the World Meteorological Organization and IGBP’s International Global Atmospheric Chemistry (IGAC) project published the first international assessment of available information on air pollution in major urban agglomerations. The report entitled The Impact of Megacities on Air Pollution and Climate examined data from Africa, Asia, South America, North America and Europe. It concluded: (1) air pollution continues to be a serious problem across the world; (2) the amount of scientific knowledge varies greatly between megacities; (3) there is a clear opportunity to translate knowledge from well researched urban areas to less researched urban areas to mitigate air pollution; and (4) large urban agglomerations may be the best places to realise the co-benefits of simultaneously controlling air pollution and mitigating climate change.
WHO estimates that air pollution causes more than 2 million premature deaths each year (WHO 2006). In 1987, WHO published Air Quality Guidelines for Europe. In 2005, following important new research from low- and middle-income countries, it released new Air Quality Guidelines for four common pollutants (PM, O3, NO2, and SO2) that are intended to inform policymakers on appropriate targets related to air-quality management (Table 1; WHO 2006).
Major international events have often helped draw attention to air-quality issues and attract international research efforts. For example, in the run-up to the 2008 Beijing Olympics an international collaborative research project, Campaigns of Air Quality Research in Beijing and Surrounding Regions (CAREBEIJING), was implemented. The project was designed to study the regional air pollution processes that affect air quality in Beijing and to formulate air-pollution control strategies for the Olympics. When considered on an average annual basis, the air quality in Beijing has certainly improved although the recent smog suggests that there is some distance to travel.
Ultimately, however, the old adage “You can’t manage what you can’t measure” applies here. Successful implementation and enforcement of air-quality measures is dependent on access to scientific information. The megacities assessment clearly shows the disparity in scientific knowledge across large cities. Cities that have had access to high-quality information – Los Angeles, for example – have benefited. Could newer cities learn from the experience of older cities to avoid teething troubles?
Experience shows that this can indeed be the case. A prime example is shown in Figure 2, which shows how ozone and PM levels changed through time in three similarly sized megacities: Los Angeles, Mexico City and Beijing. During the time period depicted in the figure, each city had a population within ± 40% of the average of the three cities. In Los Angeles, ozone concentrations peaked in the early 1970s and have been decreasing over the past four decades. We can see that the ozone levels in Mexico City never reached the peaks of Los Angeles and levels fell faster. Today, the ozone and PM concentrations in Los Angeles and Mexico City are nearly the same. Mexico City avoided severe air pollution by translating the lessons of Los Angeles to implement emission controls.
Beijing, however, seems to be on a different track. PM concentrations remain higher than the two other cities but are decreasing. In contrast, ozone concentrations, which have been low, are rising. As mentioned earlier, Beijing has taken numerous measures during the past few years to control air pollution. Assessing how these measures are working will not only help Beijing to fine- | [

Analyst: Boeing's hopes fading for tanker win
After an inadvertent peek at Defense Department data, Boeing executives believe the Air Force is likely to award the long-awaited tanker contract to Airbus parent company EADS, according to a leading defense analyst with close ties to Boeing.
Seattle Times aerospace reporter
Following an inadvertent peek at Defense Department data, Boeing executives believe the Air Force is likely to award the long-awaited tanker contract to Airbus parent company EADS, according to a leading defense analyst with close ties to Boeing.
That view of the feeling inside Boeing is confirmed by two congressional sources familiar with the $40 billion tanker competition.
Citing conversations with several unnamed senior Boeing officials, Loren Thompson of the Lexington Institute said Monday the company's hopes faded when Air Force analyses of the two contending airplanes were accidentally leaked to both sides earlier this month.
Those analyses confirmed Boeing's worst fears, Thompson said. They showed the Airbus A330 tanker scoring well ahead of the Boeing 767 tanker in a mission-effectiveness rating.
"The conclusion you come to is that probably Boeing is going to lose this," said Thompson, who has written papers supporting the Boeing bid.
The effectiveness rating is one of three measures used by the Air Force to adjust the bid price for the airplanes. The two others are assumed to favor Boeing's smaller aircraft — military infrastructure construction costs and fuel burn over the entire life-cycle of the program.
But Thompson, backed again by the congressional sources, said the way the Air Force measured those criteria gave Boeing very little advantage over its rival.
"Boeing has told me many times over the last year that the way the Air Force was calculating the cost of fuel and infrastructure had the effect of minimizing the life-cycle costs of the larger plane" from EADS, Thompson said. "They are not very happy with the way in which those things have been calculated."
A congressional source said Boeing believes the Air Force has underestimated the projected cost of jet fuel in the future, thereby lowering the life-cycle fuel costs. And it has chosen 10 airfields for the military infrastructure analysis that Boeing considers unrepresentative of typical space constraints, lowering projected construction costs also.
Much therefore depends on the mission-effectiveness rating, a score derived from a computer model known as IFARA (for Integrated Fleet Aerial Refueling Assessment) that simulates operational tanker missions.
IFARA rates each airplane's capabilities as a tanker: how much fuel it delivers, how far it flies, how long it can stay on station. It was always clear that the larger A330 would score better than the 767 by this measure.
Earlier this month the Air Force mixed up two computer disks and sent the two companies the IFARA outcome for the other airplane.
EADS opened the IFARA data on the Boeing tanker. While Boeing realized the mistake sooner and sent back the disk without opening the file, the Air Force afterward decided to level the playing field by providing both sides the IFARA data on the other side's plane.
"When (Boeing officials) saw the ratings for the two planes, I think they became downright alarmed," said Thompson.
A congressional source who spoke on condition of anonymity said the data reinforced a growing pessimism among Boeing executives as to the outcome.
"The confirmation of where they stood on IFARA pushes it over the top," said the congressional source.
Another congressional source said that some Boeing supporters are pushing to have the IFARA measure discounted altogether because of the disk mix-up that revealed the data to both sides.
However, this seems very unlikely and would certainly draw a formal protest from EADS.
Boeing's supporters in Congress have also tried to insist that the Air Force add billions of dollars to the EADS bid price in response to a World Trade Organization (WTO) ruling that Airbus had benefited from illegal government subsidies, including money that directly funded development of the A330.
But the consequences of the subsidies ruling must ultimately be worked out in a WTO process likely to last years, and the Defense Department has repeatedly said that it cannot legally penalize EADS in the interim.
Absent a financial penalty in the tanker competition, EADS will likely underbid Boeing, according to the second congressional source.
Thompson's position was first reported over the weekend by the Press-Register in Mobile, Ala., which is where Airbus plans to build a final assembly facility if it wins the tanker contract.
Both Boeing and EADS declined to comment Monday.

PewDiePie's Tuber Simulator is a Simulation/Tycoon game for Android e iOS, where the famous youtuber PewDiePie, will teach you how to be successful on Youtube. The game has tutorials and simple menus and is all in Spanish. The highlight is the dubbing, all done by the youtuber, and full of jokes.

Tuber Simulator is the second game from the partnership between Outerminds and internet phenomenon PewDiePie. The genre this time is simulation. But the gameplay is completely casual. The game has simple menus, and despite being inspired by the real world, it doesn't leave out simple solutions such as energy bars and focus on unlocking items to customize your game room.
The graphics are in pixelart with a look very similar to the previous game, PewDiePie: Legend of Brofist. The highlight is the dubbing, full of fun jokes and even profanity. The immersion in the “youtuber” world draws attention. Tuber Simulator practically explains how the “profession” of gaming youtuber works. Some references like the “sponsor” eagle are hilarious.
In Tuber Simulator, the player visits menus for: video creation, shop and epic quests. In video creation, you will gain views and followers. You need to follow trends (upper menu) to succeed in the game. As it evolves, the player unlocks perks and paid items, which can also be purchased for real money.
Light and fun, PewDiePie's Tuber Simulator runs great on any Android phone. The game still has as its main element, being OFFLINE, but some items (such as trends and adding friends) need internet.
PewDiePie's Tuber Simulator is a game that impresses with its simplicity and fun. In these times when everyone wants to be a youtuber, the game plays with this new type of profession, with humorous criticisms of youtubers and PewDiePie himself. However, the fun can end quickly if you're anxious, as most of the cool items are paid or take a long time to unlock.

The story of a team that dreamed the impossible
The purpose of the movie was to show that when a group of people work hard to achieve a goal, anything is possible. Bill Courtney was the coach of the Manassas Tigers, a team that in the past were very un-coachable and not very good overall. This group of boys faced many struggles and were looked at as a undisciplined team that doesn't play together. Coach Courtney taught them to believe in themselves and learn to trust their teammates. He turned a team that never was successful on the field, to a team that finished 9-1. Even though they lost in the first round, he coached them to a playoff game, and the boys had the opportunity to be apart of a winning team, learning life lessons that they will never forget.
Achieving the Purpose
The film Achieved the Purpose
The purpose of this whole documentary was too show how a group of troubled inner-city kids came together through proper coaching to have a successful season. An example of how the film achieved the purpose were showing how players like O.C Brown were able to stay focused and work hard, ultimately leading to the opportunity to play Collage Football. Coach Courtney saved many of these kids futures by teaching them to be discipline and show them ways to build character and carry themselves with class. Coach Courtney also showed throughout the documentary that he spent almost all of his time helping to better this group of boys, compared to spending personal time with his own family. He never received a dime for all the time he put In with the boys, but he touched their lives in so many ways that can make him proud to call himself a true man and leader. He was like a father figure to these boys, cause without Football, some of the boys had absolutely nothing to motivate them in their lives.
After watching the film I realized that there is truthfully great people in this world. The impact Coach Courtney had on those boys made me feel so good and proud of him for wanting to see a group of struggling boys succeed and be happy with their lives. It makes me want to help others who are in need of support and help because they don't receive the same opportunities with their lives compared to others. As a whole this film really makes you think about your life, and how we can do so many things if we just chose to put our heart and time into it. | [

For veterinarians and other horse professionals interested in Chinese Medicine, acupressure and massage, the book offers some of the best photos I’ve seen for locating meridians and points.

This is one of the best covers i have used so far, its slim and does not add any bulk to the phone.
After so may years and trying out multiple covers for my various iPhones. I liked this cover very much
I searched for many covers online as well as offline.. Purchased a couple others too.. but these ones are really the best.. they give a proper premium look and are worth the cost.. cheap ones look cheap on mobile and the some others are unnecessarily costly.. writing this review after a months use atleast..
I have the iPhone 12 Pro. I bought Spigen clear case and the Tozo as well. The Supcase is by far my favourite. The phone looks great in the case, the buttons are easy to find & click & it feels great in the hand. I highly recommend this case.
The best magsafw case in the market. The magnet is even better than the one found in the original magsafe case from apple. A must buy for iPhone 12 series users.. | [
