The etheric fang block chain network is a decentralized data storage and transaction verification platform.Its smart contracts and breakthrough introduction of virtual machines on the network to create a decentralized Turing completeness software solutions.Hundreds of thousands of separate tokens and applications based on Ethernet fang block chain.The agreement in the development of the depth of decentralized financial ecosystem after received wide acceptance,Also recently developed a number of interestingWeb3用例.该协议于2022年9月15Transition from work to prove the rights to prove.如今,The etheric fang is the world's second largest encryption currency.

This change is the biggest platform for the intelligent contracts opened a new era.合并后,Block reward every day from about13500 ETH下降到2000 ETH,This greatly reduces the network security spending.
The etheric fang active address basic remain stable and trading,Quarterly change relatively small.Although address and volume may be widely used as the encryption currency and increase,But the etheric lane will be extended from the second solution,Rather than performance stronger base layer.
The agreement of the drop in revenue attributable to encrypt the bear、L2The increase in volume and contract agreementgas效率升级.因此,In the third quarter of the total costs plunged,降至2020年以来的最低水平.If these costs continue to drop in the second half of the year,Will directly affect the combined pledge yield.
自2021年8月实施EIP-1559以来,Keep the etheric fang trade several basic range.在EIP-1559之后,Whenever the block filling amount above or below target limit,下一个区块的gasFee will be change to the opposite direction.The new set through the transaction costs to absorb the difference,Effectively reduced the number of each block trading differences.

The SMWE4 Annaba to Marseilles suffered a "technical problem," according to Algeria Telecom. Usually with submarine cables that means it has been accidentally cut, either by a trawler, or ship dragging an anchor, or even a shark attack.
The problem caused a complete failure of the Oran Link network; Algeria Telecom has routed its traffic through Palermo in order to keep data flowing. Algeria Telecom put out a statement saying its technical team is working on locating the problem and that it would make information about it public once confirmed. ® | [

Enterprises are increasingly drawn to cloud-based data warehousing services, with Amazon Redshift, Google BigQuery, Microsoft Azure, and Snowflake leading the growing market. Cloud data warehousing saves time and money compared to traditional on-premises data warehousing.
However, you will face challenges around cloud ETL. Cloud ETL entails extracting data from diverse source systems, transforming it to a common format, and loading the consolidated data into the data warehouse platform to best serve the needs of enterprise business intelligence, reporting and analytics. Fortunately, there are solutions which simplify and automate the cloud ETL process, bringing the benefits of cloud data warehousing within reach of any organization large or small.
Available through the Amazon Web Services Marketplace, Qlik Compose is an innovative data warehouse automation solution that empowers data architects and data warehouse administrators to design and implement data warehouses and data marts without doing any manual coding. Bundled with Qlik Compose for Amazon Redshift, Qlik Cloudbeam makes it easy to configure and execute data migrations from nearly any type of source system into the staging area of a cloud data warehouse – again with no manual coding. Seamlessly integrated and remarkably easy to use, Qlik Compose and Qlik Cloudbeam accelerate and automate all aspects of cloud ETL for cloud data warehousing.
With Qlik Compose for Amazon Redshift you can create custom data warehouse designs through an intuitive design studio, or simply import a design such as Data Vault, Inmon, and Kimball. Qlik Compose then automatically generates the Amazon Redshift ETL code needed to transform data in your warehouse staging area to meet the requirements of your warehouse design pattern. With a click, you can create the warehouse structures and execute Redshift ETL tasks, monitoring the cloud ETL progress through a central console.
Cloud ETL is just as easy for data marts as it is for the data warehouse: Simply configure your fact and dimension tables by using the Qlik Compose star schema wizard, and Qlik Compose then automatically generates the cloud ETL command set that's needed to correctly populate the data mart.
Qlik Cloudbeam -- the AWS marketplace name for Qlik Replicate® -- is a universal solution for moving data from nearly any type of source system into your cloud data warehouse staging area, where it can then undergo the transformations specified in the cloud ETL code that's automatically generated by Qlik Compose. With no manual coding, data warehouse architects and administrators can use Qlik Cloudbeam to configure and execute data feeds from cloud sources such as Amazon RDS or databases running in Amazon EC2; or by using an on-premises instance of Qlik Replicate to access nearly any type of on-premises source system such as relational databases, legacy data warehouses, or mainframes. Qlik Cloudbeam and Qlik Replicate support high-performance bulk loading and incremental change data capture (CDC) to power your real-time data warehouse and deliver timely analytics.
Along with fast and easy feeding of an Amazon Redshift data warehouse, Qlik Replicate also supports cloud data transfer to other destination systems such Azure and Google Cloud, and even data warehouse Hadoop platforms such as AWS Elastic MapReduce – all through a single unified data integration solution. | [

Sooty mold is a fungal disease caused by sap-sucking insects
Sooty mold is a fungus that is dark-colored and grows on the honeydew produced by sap-sucking insects like aphids. This fungus appears as a black, powdery substance that can cover leaves and twigs. It can even be seen on lawn furniture and pathways.
Because it’s attracted to the honeydew left behind by sap suckers, sooty mold can affect many tree species.
Sooty mold is primarily a cosmetic problem
By itself, sooty mold won’t hurt your tree as it feeds on honeydew, making it primarily a cosmetic issue. But if it becomes thick enough, it can cause leaf yellowing or stunt the plant’s growth.
Managing sooty mold on trees and plants
The presence of sooty mold on trees and plants indicates that it is, or has been, a sucking insect population. By managing these populations, the problem of sooty mold will eventually go away. Careful pruning by a professional arborist can also remove infected parts if the problem is large enough.
Your arborist may also suggest control methods like dormant oils, and the application of broad spectrum insecticides can prevent aphids build up or control existing populations. Treatments should be prescribed and applied by knowledgeable arborists that are ISA certified and properly licensed. They are trained and certified to use these materials safely. | [

Award-winning British-Turkish writer Elif Shafak has written 19 books and been translated into more than 50 languages. She’s also a political activist as well as an advocate for women’s rights and freedom of expression. The author speaks to Eve Jackson about her new novel “The Island Of Missing Trees” which is being translated into French, why men should read more fiction to help them understand the world and the dangers of a “Them and Us” mentality, especially when it comes to vaccines.
Shafak’s previous novel “Ten Minutes Thirty Eight Seconds In This Strange World” was shortlisted for the Booker Prize. Here in France, she’s been awarded the Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres for her contribution to literature. The BBC chose her book “The Forty Rules of Love” as one of the 100 Novels that Shaped Our World and Politico said she’s someone “who will give you a much needed lift of the heart”. | [

That’s commitment. Rapper Tekashi69’s girlfriend, Jade, got a pretty wild tattoo of him even as the performer remains in prison. She shared a photo of the new piece on May 7 via Instagram and wrote, “Just got Chris Brown tatted s–t crazy.”
The rapper (a.k.a 6ix9ine — or his legal name, Daniel Hernandez) was arrested on racketeering and firearms charges back in November 2018. He was previously indicted on six counts: conspiracy with others to commit racketeering, discharging a firearm while committing a crime, committing a crime of violence in aid of racketeering, assault with a dangerous weapon, carrying a firearm and committing a crime in aid of racketeering. He’s facing anywhere from 47 years to life in prison.
In late November, Tekashi69 reportedly gave his girlfriend a Rolex for her birthday, despite being behind bars. Getting a tattoo of his face on her chest doesn’t exactly seem like an equal act of love to us, but whatever works for this couple. But fans certainly had something to say about the situation.
“You should honestly sue the artist,” one person replied to Jade’s post. “Should’ve just tatted a 🐀 on your chest 😂😂” another responded. Another person told her, “Now get STOOPID tatted on your forehead.” Dang, people! Tell us how you really feel.
Deal of the DayOnly $12! — (And No One Will Know They Aren’t Designer) View Deal
Back in January, Jade paid her jailed man a visit in prison and shared the first photo of the rapper behind bars. In the shot, Tekashi69 is grabbing her butt, and she wrote in the caption, “He’s good luv, enjoy 😉❤️.” She also added the hashtag “#FreeDanny,” presumably as a way to show support for his release.
Jade regularly shares photos of videos of her boyfriend on social media, likely because she misses him and wants to remind people of his imprisonment. There’s still no word on how long Tekashi69 will stay behind bars, and the truth is, she might be stuck posting about her boyfriend while he remains there for a long, long time.

CONSTANT STATE OF BECOMING (BETWEEN SURFACE AND FORM)
This work responds to the Leslie Spit - a site in Toronto where construction debris and waste is dumped, creating a new landmass in Lake Ontario. Bricks, concrete, and asphalt create a “rock beach”, and waves erode and soften their forms. The “rock” forms come to represent the idea of nature ‘shaping the Anthropocene’ as a means of resistance to human development. Patchwork textiles indexes the surfaces of asphalt forms, highlighting the disconnect between grid and natural forms. | [

The death toll from the cholera outbreak that struck 41 of 44 local government areas in Kano State has risen to 169.
Dr. Ashiru Rajab, director of the Kano State Department of Public Health, who confirmed this in an interview with reporters, said these deaths have been reported over the past three months in the state.
Dr. Rajab said that about 191 victims are currently being treated at various medical facilities in the state. The director was also quick to state that the government is working tirelessly to stop and resolve the situation.
According to him, “In the last three months, we have recorded 5,221 cases of the disease. About 4,860 have been treated and discharged. We currently have 191 active cases in various facilities across the state, while 169 deaths have been reported in 41 local government areas of the state.
“The Kano State government has launched a massive campaign to inform and educate the public, especially rural residents, on the measures needed to maintain environmental and personal hygiene to avoid outbreaks.
“In addition, the government has provided necessary medicines such as solutions, medicines and other necessary supplies in the state hospitals aimed at combating this menace,” Dr. Rajab said. | [

If the Federal Communications Commission allows airlines with properly equipped planes to open the cellphone gates on commercial flights, even Washington agrees there will be revolts in the friendly skies.
On Tuesday, by a bipartisan voice vote, the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee passed a bill, the Prohibiting In-Flight Voice Communications on Mobile Wireless Devices Act, to the House floor.
Chairman Bill Shuster, a Republican from Pennsylvania and the bill's author, argues that at 30,000 feet, fellow passengers do not have the option of walking away from obnoxious loudmouths. Ergo, the Department of Transportation must ban voice calls on planes. Shuster, however, does favor regulations to allow passengers to use their phones and tablets to text, send emails and work online. He's got a catchy slogan: "Tap, don't talk."
Me, I feel sorry for the poor chumps at the FCC. Since 1991, the FCC has banned cellphone use on planes, lest the signals interfere with wireless networks on the ground. With the advent of technology that can prevent interference, the FCC revisited the rule. In October, the FCC ruled that passengers may leave on their phones (in airplane mode) and personal electronic devices during takeoff and landing -- because its mission is to regulate technology, not passenger behavior.
Kudos, the public should cheer. Finally, a regulatory agency that doesn't want to overreach its authority. Shuster himself noted that it is the responsibility of the Department of Transportation, not the FCC, to make rules in the name of airline safety.
Unconcerned with jurisdictional matters, however, the public has flooded the FCC with protests. According to The Associated Press, 48 percent of Americans (78 percent of frequent fliers) oppose allowing passengers to talk on their phones.
I get it. As airlines try to make flights cheaper -- a good thing -- seats are closer together and service lacks even the oh-so-modest frills of yore. When flying is a chore, passengers get grumpy. It's no fun even just riding public transportation next to a bigmouth, and city bus rides don't last six hours like a cross-country flight. The flying public fears "air rage" incidents. | [

Compared to coal-fired electricity, yes. However, it’s still an extractive, hydrocarbon-based fuel (fossil fuel). As such, when burnt it produces carbon dioxide that would otherwise not be in the atmosphere. It may be a means of reducing the amount of extra carbon dioxide we put in the air, but we really need to reduce the amount of pollutants in the air, which can only be accomplished by moving away from all fossil fuels and finding better ways to capture the pollutants now in the air.

Copycat Lofthouse Sugar Cookie Recipe
You’re going to love this vegan Lofthouse-inspired sugar cookie recipe! The most chewy, soft, cakey sugar cookies in the world, and they always start flooding into stores this time of year.
Instead of grabbing a box, try making this homemade vegan version at home – it’s cheaper in the long run and so much fun! Once you start making your own you’re going to be hooked – and they’re especially delicious around the holiday season!
These thick cake sugar cookies are just perfect, complete with a generous topping of vegan buttercream and some sweet sprinkles.
It’s actually so easy to make this copycat recipe, while also being completely dairy free and egg free!
The secret is a dash of cream of tartar and some apple cider vinegar to make them puffy, some ground flaxseed for a binder, and some vegan butter sticks.
The rest is pretty basic, and before you know it you’ll have a big plate of these yummy cookies – they’re perfect with a glass of milk or coffee!
How to Make Lofthouse Inspired Cookies at Home
Making the Cookie Dough
The first step in making these cookies is to prepare the wet dough ingredients. Start by creaming together the room-temperature vegan butter and the Truvia Cane Sugar Blend until smooth.
Then, add in the vanilla, coconut milk (I highly recommend using it from a can!), and apple cider vinegar. This mixture may clump up a bit and not mix well – if that’s the case simply microwave it for 20-30 seconds and it should mix until very smooth!
Then in another bowl combine all your dry ingredients and mix well. Be sure to blend your flaxseed very finely and it won’t impact the sugar cookie color. Add this to the wet in increments and stir in between each until it forms a dough.
Baking the Sugar Cookies
Wrap your dough and chill it in the fridge for 30 minute – this will help the cookies be nice and thick and not spread too much!
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and take gold-ball sized balls of the chilled dough.
Roll them in your palms until they form circles, and then place them on a baking sheet at least 2 inches apart. Gently squish them down and bake for 14-17 minutes, or until just every so lightly browned on bottom.
Also, you’ll know they are done when you poke them in the middle with your finger, and the dough is dry and springs back up.
Coloring and Frosting Vegan Cookies
While baking, mix together your frosting – do this by adding the powdered sugar 1 cup at a time.
You may need to add 1-2 tablespoons of plant milk to get the right consistency, it should be smooth but quite thick.
Add food coloring if you’d like, I generously smoothed the frosting over the cooled cookies (make sure they are completely cooled before frosting!).
Add some sprinkles if desired and then enjoy!
Soft and Cakey Vegan Sugar Cookies
These cookies are the most delicate and delicious sweet treats!
I used Truvia Cane Sugar blend in place of sugar in the cookies, it’s a naturally sweet sugar from the stevia leaf that bakes and browns the same and has 75% less calories than sugar – you’ll love the taste in these cookies.
It’s super easy to use with a pour spout right on the bag and conversion chart on the back (see this chart for reference), and it’s great for whipping up holiday cookies in no time! I found these Truvia products at my local Meijer store.
This recipe is:
For more vegan cookies:
- 1/2 Cup Truvia Cane Sugar Blend
- 3 Cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1 Cup Vegan Butter (room temp)
- 1.5 Tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1/3 Cup Coconut Milk (from a can if possible)
- 1 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar
- 2 Tsp Cream of Tartar
- 1 Tbsp Ground Flax Seed
- 1/4 Tsp Baking Soda
- 1/4 Tsp Salt
For the Frosting:
- 3 Cups Vegan Powdered Sugar
- 1/2 Cup Vegan Butter (room temp)
- 1-2 Tbsp Plant Milk
- 1/2 Tsp Vanilla Extract
- Vegan Food Coloring
- Cream together vegan butter and truvia cane sugar until creamy. Add vanilla, coconut | [

Works to improve road safety at the Dukes Highway junction with the Princes Highway just south of Tailem Bend are currently underway.
The Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure (DPTI) advises that the works will consist of the installation of road lighting along the medians on all approaches to the junction.
The project will improve night time safety with the installation of new light emitting diode (LED), low energy use lighting.
The work will be undertaken between 7.00 am and 5.30 pm, Monday to Friday.
DPTI will make every effort to minimise the impact on road users during construction. The road will remain open to traffic with minor lane restrictions in place while the works are being undertaken.
DPTI advises a 25 km/h speed restriction will apply when workers are on site, with 80 km/h speed restriction in place at other times until the works are complete.
The works are expected to be completed by the end of March 2016, weather permitting.
The $510,000 safety upgrade is funded by the Australian Government’s Black Spot Programme.
DPTI thanks motorists for their patience while these important works are undertaken.
Drug drivers will face an automatic loss of licence under tough new drug-driving laws to be introduced to Parliament.
A new safety campaign has launched to send a powerful reminder to drivers to slow down and play their part in keeping our road crews safe.
18 kilometres of road resurfacing works on Barrier Highway will commence on Tuesday, 24 January 2017 to improve safety.
Safety on the Flinders Highway will soon be improved with safety barrier installation, shoulder sealing and line marking works commencing today. | [

The smooth and gentle surface area of silk helps to decrease friction, minimizing the danger of hair breakage and break up ends. At the same time, silk pillow handles help to keep the dampness equilibrium of the pores and skin, protecting against dryness and promoting a healthier complexion.
One particular of the crucial rewards of silk pillow addresses is their capacity to maintain the organic oils in the hair. As opposed to standard pillowcases, silk does not absorb the humidity from the hair, helping to keep it hydrated and decreasing frizz. This is especially beneficial for men and women with curly hair, as silk pillow covers can aid sustain the curl sample and reduce tangles.
Silk pillow covers are also acknowledged for their skin-friendly qualities. The clean texture of silk is light on the pores and skin, minimizing the likelihood of wrinkles and creases induced by tossing and turning during slumber. In addition, silk does not absorb as much moisture from the skin as other components, allowing the pores and skin to keep its all-natural hydration levels.

AI eye tracking predicts personality
Artificial intelligence that tracks eye movement is being using to predict personality types.
Developed by the University of South Australia in partnership with the University of Stuttgart, Flinders University and the Max Planck Institute for Informatics in Germany, state-of-the-art machine-learning algorithms are being used to demonstrate a link between personality and eye movements.
Findings show that people’s eye movements reveal whether they are sociable, conscientious or curious, with the algorithm software reliably recognising four of the Big Five personality traits: neuroticism, extroversion, agreeableness and conscientiousness.
Researchers tracked the eye movements of 42 participants as they undertook everyday tasks around a university campus, and subsequently assessed their personality traits using well-established questionnaires.
UniSA’s Dr Tobias Loetscher says the study provides new links between previously underinvestigated eye movements and personality traits and delivers important insights for emerging fields of social signal processing and social robotics.
“There’s certainly the potential for these findings to improve human-machine interactions,” Loetscher said.
“People are always looking for improved, personalised services. However, today’s robots and computers are not socially aware, so they cannot adapt to non-verbal cues.
“This research provides opportunities to develop robots and computers so that they can become more natural, and better at interpreting human social signals.”
Loetscher said the findings also provide an important bridge between tightly controlled laboratory studies and the study of natural eye movements in real-world environments.
“This research has tracked and measured the visual behaviour of people going about their everyday tasks, providing more natural responses than if they were in a lab.
“And thanks to our machine-learning approach, we not only validate the role of personality in explaining eye movement in everyday life, but also reveal new eye movement characteristics as predictors of personality traits.”

WARWICK, Rhode Island — Rhode Islanders will get their first look in nearly two decades at the former Rocky Point amusement park, soon to be open as a state park.
A public open house is being held Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., rain or shine.
The Department of Environmental Management says people will be able to see the changes at the coastal park, as well as remnants of the old amusement park.
Those include the Rocky Point arch, base of the circle swing and bases of the Skyliner ride.
The 83-acre property overlooks Narragansett Bay.
The DEM says cleanup is expected to be completed this fall. Once it is deemed safe, it will open permanently.
The DEM is also working on making a system of walking paths by next summer. | [

RHS health and wellbeing gardens
Beautiful gardens that demonstrated how plants and green spaces can improve lives and tackle major environmental challenges
The important role that gardening and growing plants can play in tackling some of the biggest issues facing us today was a key theme at this year’s RHS Chelsea Flower Show.
Designs celebrated how gardens can be beautiful havens to escape and enjoy, bringing a sense of normality to fractured lives, as well as how they can help to tackle major environmental issues.
Sue Biggs CBE, Director General of the RHS says:
“It was fantastic to see the gardens at this year’s RHS Chelsea Flower Show reminding us all of the power of plants and the huge impact gardening and green spaces can have on so many aspects of our lives.”
RHS Feel Good Garden
The RHS Feel Good Garden encouraged visitors to sit back and soak up the benefits that a garden can offer. Designed by Matt Keightley, two-time winner of the RHS/BBC People’s Choice Award at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, it was a contemporary and therapeutic space that focused on health and wellbeing.
The design highlighted how gardening, or simply being in a garden or green space, can make you feel happier and healthier. There's increasing evidence that gardens and gardening can have a positive impact our health, and promoting this important message was a key element of this garden.
Matt is also designing a health and wellbeing themed garden around RHS Hilltop – The Home of Gardening Science at RHS Garden Wisley in Surrey, and the RHS Feel Good Garden at Chelsea has been inspired by his plans for the Garden there, which will open in 2020.
The Lemon Tree Trust Garden
The power of plants to improve people’s lives was embodied in debut designer Tom Massey's Show Garden, inspired by the ingenuity, resilience and determination of people in situations of forced migration.
Syrian refugees of the Domiz Camp in Northern Iraq were involved with the design, which showed their incredible ability to make the most from the harsh landscape and living conditions.
The garden showcased a drought-tolerant planting scheme typical of the region, with trees laden with fruit, providing scent and crops to harvest. The garden also included edibles and herbs used in Middle Eastern cooking, alongside cultivars of the Damask Rose - thought to originate from Syria - and renowned for its heady fragrance.
Ingenious vertical planting, inspired by refugees’ use of everyday objects, provided visitors with ideas for growing plants in limited spaces. The importance of the reuse of grey water was also acknowledged within the design, with recycled water emerging from an Islamic-inspired fountain in the centre of the garden.
The garden was filled with reclaimed, reused, repurposed and upcycled materials. From reclaimed brick walls, to plastic bottles used as planters, the ideas, although sourced directly from refugee gardens in the Domiz camp, were equally relevant for gardeners with small plots or limited space in the UK.
The Weston Garden
Tom Stuart-Smith, master planner for the new RHS Garden Bridgewater, took centre stage in The Great Pavilion with a celebration of 60 years of the Garfield Weston Foundation. The Weston Garden welcomed visitors into a romantic and inspirational garden, with secret spaces revealed around every corner. A secluded refuge was tucked away in the centre.
The garden, which balanced modernity with tradition, had plenty of ideas to take home. Most of the items were recycled; some of the plants had been to Chelsea before and were borrowed for the show, while reclaimed York stone and limestone slips helped to promote the message of environmental responsibility and sustainability.
At the heart of the garden, three large flowering Cornus kousa set the tone for the planting, which was dominated by plants that thrive in good, moisture-retentive soil such as Rodgersia, Iris sibirica, Thalictrum, Disporum and Euphorbia wallichii.
The garden was designed with four entrances to allow visitors to view it from different angles. This emphasised the open approach of the Weston Foundation and the support it has given to charities across the UK to help make them more accessible to the public. The openness at the front of the garden developed into a more wooded area at the back where there were steps up to a small terrace. A screen of tall trees including holm oak and beech created a tall leafy backdrop.
Along with the power to make us feel better, this year's gardens at Chelsea also highlighted the environmental challenges that face us, and provided some ingenius solutions.
Tony Woods, RHS Young Designer of the year 2013, designed his garden, Urban Flow, to accommodate the conditions of a changing climate. This design created a vision for water conservation and environmentally-considerate landscaping, while maintaining a practical and versatile outdoor living space. His clever planting within | [

Quantum physics, the scientific study of the infinitesimally small, unveils a world that defies common intuition and transcends the limits of classical physics. This journey into the subatomic realm will immerse you in an exploration of particles smaller than an atom, the fundamental building blocks of the universe. We will delve into the principles and phenomena that govern this peculiar world, from the dual nature of light and matter, through quantum entanglement and superposition, and ending with the profound implications quantum physics has on our understanding of reality. Buckle up for a journey that promises to challenge your perceptions and open new horizons of thought.
Overview of Quantum Physics
Quantum physics, also known as quantum mechanics, describes the strange behaviors of particles at the smallest levels. In this domain, particles can exist in multiple states simultaneously—a condition known as superposition—and can also become intertwined over vast distances in a phenomenon called quantum entanglement. Unlike classical physics, where precise measurements and predictions are possible, quantum physics is inherently probabilistic. The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, a cornerstone of quantum mechanics, states that it’s impossible to simultaneously measure the exact position and momentum of a particle.
Significance of our Understanding of the Universe
The implications of quantum physics are monumental, fundamentally reshaping our understanding of the universe. It provides the theoretical underpinning for many modern technologies such as lasers, semiconductors, and even the transistors that power our computers. On a deeper level, quantum physics challenges our traditional, deterministic view of reality, suggesting a universe that is far more bizarre and intricate than previously thought.
The phenomenon of quantum entanglement, for instance, raises fundamental questions about the nature of information and space-time. Furthermore, the concept of quantum superposition has led to groundbreaking advancements in computing, paving the way for quantum computers that could potentially solve problems beyond the capacity of classical machines.
Pioneers in Quantum Physics
The field of quantum physics has seen the contributions of numerous bright minds throughout history. However, a few stand out for their significant impact and groundbreaking theories.
Max Planck, a German theoretical physicist, is regarded as the father of quantum theory. His work on black body radiation, for which he received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1918, laid the foundation for quantum physics. Planck introduced the idea that energy is quantized, meaning it could only exist in discrete units, a revolutionary concept at the time.
Although primarily known for his Theory of Relativity, Albert Einstein also made significant contributions to quantum physics. His explanation of the photoelectric effect, which demonstrated the particle-like properties of light, earned him a Nobel Prize in 1921.
Niels Bohr, a Danish physicist, further developed quantum theory by introducing the Bohr model of the atom. His concept of complementary properties and the principle of quantum superposition significantly influenced the standard interpretation of quantum mechanics. Bohr’s work on atomic structures and quantum theory earned him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1922.
Development of Quantum Theory
The evolution of quantum theory marks a significant departure from classical physics, bringing forth a new understanding of the natural world at its most fundamental level. Central to this development are three key concepts: Wave-Particle Duality, the Photoelectric Effect, and the Bohr model.
Wave-particle duality is a cornerstone of quantum mechanics, asserting that all particles exhibit both wave and particle properties. This concept was first introduced by Albert Einstein and Louis de Broglie. It challenges classical physics’ discrete categorization of waves and particles, with light, earlier considered purely a wave, demonstrating particle characteristics, and electrons, viewed as particles, displaying wave-like behavior.
The concept of the Photoelectric Effect, proposed by Albert Einstein, provides substantial evidence for light’s particle-like behavior. The phenomenon involves the ejection of electrons from a metal surface when light shines upon it. More importantly, this ejection occurs instantaneously and depends on the light’s frequency, not intensity, as classical wave theory would predict. This observation led to the revolutionary idea that light energy is quantized in packets called “photons”.
The Bohr Model, proposed by Niels Bohr, presents a significant stride in understanding the atom’s structure. This model envisages the atom as a miniature solar system with electrons in discrete orbits around the nucleus. While the model was eventually superseded by the more complete quantum mechanical model, it paved the way for the development of quantum physics by introducing the concept of quantized energy levels.
Quantum Physics in the Everyday World
Applications in Technology
Quantum physics has been instrumental in advancing many modern technologies. For example, the principles of quantum mechanics are at the heart of semiconductors and lasers, both of which are integral to contemporary electronics and communication systems. Semiconductors operate on the quantum principle of band theory, which describes how electrons behave in solid materials. Lasers, on the other hand, rely on the process of stimulated emission—a quantum mechanical effect. Even more futuristic applications are on the horizon, such as quantum computers. These | [

The man overseeing the roll-out of ‘NHS 111’ is to join the private health company which today became the single biggest provider of the out-of-hours care helpline.
Care UK is to provide out-of-hours medical care to 15million people across the country after buying key competitor Harmoni, which had many of the coveted NHS 111 helpline contracts.
The roll-out of the NHS 111 helpline – a new service for people in need of urgent medical attention but not an ambulance – has been overseen by Jim Easton, the Department of Health’s national director of improvement and efficiency since 2009.
Mr Easton is leaving his senior NHS post to join Care UK as its managing director.
His move raises further questions about the “revolving door” between government and private sector companies which are benefiting from the outsourcing of public services.
In a letter to NHS managers in June this year Mr Easton, who has 20 years executive experience in the NHS, said: “The Secretary of State for Health and I are fully committed to the delivery of an integrated 24/7 urgent care service, accessed through NHS 111, and that ensures people receive the right care, from the right person, in the right place, at the right time.”
He granted a six month extension for the roll-out, to October 2013, and a handful of contracts are still up for grabs.
Every NHS organisation at local and national level has produced a Quality, Innovation, Productivity and Prevention (QIPP) plan. These plans detail to the department of health how services will be improved while making required savings of £20bn by 2014/15.
More than half of the QIPPs identified NHS 111 as a key part of their improvement and efficiency plans. Mr Easton is head of QIPP.
The £48million deal is a boost to Care UK’s ambitions after it lost out on a number of the NHS 11 contracts to Harmoni earlier this year. Harmoni has been sold by the private equity company ECI Partners.
Care UK already had more than 50 primary care services including GP and walk-in services, out of hours, diagnostics centres and prison health services, as well as six elective surgery hospitals.
It is expanding fast across England and this new deal includes eleven NHS 111 contracts, three GP health centres and two urgent care centres.
The department of health said “Jim Easton’s appointment to a new job is subject to approval in line with the [Cabinet Office] appointment rules for senior staff moving to new roles in the independent sector. The rules in his case apply for a two year period after leaving. We cannot say any more before an application to take up an outside appointment has been considered under those rules.”
A Care UK spokeswoman said: “Jim Easton has not yet joined the business and has had no involvement whatsoever in this acquisition.“Reuse content | [

This application claims priority of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/534,733 filed Jan. 7, 2004 entitled ALL-DIGITAL CALIBRATION OF STRING DAC LINEARITY USING AREA EFFICIENT PWL APPROXIMATION: ELIMINATING HARDWARE SEARCH AND DIGITAL DIVISION.
The present application relates generally to digital-to-analog converters, and more specifically to an area efficient piece-wise linear calibration technique for resistor string digital-to-analog converters.
Digital-to-analog converters (DACs) are known that employ resistor strings to convert digital input code values into analog output voltage levels. In a typical mode of operation, a conventional resistor string DAC receives digital code values at an input of the DAC, and employs a resistor string to convert the respective digital input code values into corresponding analog voltage levels at an output of the DAC. Each digital input code represents a quantized value, which is converted into a corresponding analog output voltage based on the transfer function of the DAC.
The conventional resistor string DAC includes a number of resistors connected in series, in which each resistor has a voltage tap at each of its ends. Further, the resistor string is typically biased at each of its opposing ends by two different reference voltages. For example, one reference voltage may be a positive voltage and the other reference voltage may be a negative voltage. Accordingly, the resistor string forms a voltage divider network, and each voltage tap of the resistor string is accessible to obtain a desired digital-to-analog conversion.
One drawback of the conventional resistor string DAC is that the offset, gain, and/or integral non-linearity of the DAC are typically imperfect. As a result, the analog output voltage produced by the DAC frequently has an error component, which prevents the amplitude of the DAC output voltage from directly corresponding to the magnitude of the digital code at the DAC input.
One way of improving the offset, gain, and integral non-linearity of the conventional resistor string DAC is to employ a digital calibration technique. For example, a conventional circuit for digitally calibrating a resistor string DAC may include a main DAC to be calibrated, a calibration DAC, a memory, and calibration logic circuitry for performing arithmetical operations. In a typical mode of operation, a plurality of integral non-linearity error values of the main DAC are determined, and the error values are coded into the memory as control points. Next, when a digital code value is applied to the main DAC input, a determination is made as to which two adjacent control points the input code lies between. A piecewise linear (PWL) function is then established between the two control points, and an error value is interpolated from the PWL function corresponding to the applied input code by the calibration logic. The interpolated error values are representative of an interpolated approximation of the main DAC's integral non-linearity curve. Next, the interpolated error value is applied to the input of the calibration DAC to produce a corresponding analog output voltage, which is subsequently subtracted from the output of the main DAC to remove the error component therefrom.
However, implementing the above-described conventional digital DAC calibration technique on an integrated circuit chip can be problematic, particularly in high voltage applications that employ large geometry process technology. This is because when such large geometry processes are employed, the amount of chip area required by the calibration logic circuitry for performing the PWL approximations can be relatively large, which can significantly increase costs. Another drawback is the need to provide analog calibration DACs, which can be imperfect.
It would therefore be desirable to have an improved calibration technique for digital-to-analog converters. Such a DAC calibration technique would be adaptable for calibrating DACs that employ resistor strings. It would also be desirable to have a DAC calibration technique that makes more efficient use of integrated circuit chip area.
In accordance with the present invention, a system and method of calibrating a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) such as a resistor | [

For the use of submersible pumps, we are mainly drainage, then the water and water flow control, I believe many do not know the solution, then the submersible pump control of the flow of a variety of adjustment methods to explain.
1. Speed adjustment. Change the speed of the submersible pump, can make the performance of the pumps change, so that the pump operating point changes, this method is called speed-change mediation.
2. Variable diameter adjustment. After turning the impeller, the performance of the pump will change according to certain law, so that the working condition of the pump can change. We turn the turning impeller to change the pump working condition point method, called the variable diameter regulation.
3. Variable angle adjustment. Changing the angle of the installation of the vane can change the performance of the pump so as to change the working condition point of the submersible pump. This way of changing the working condition point is called the variable angle regulation of the pump.
4. Throttling regulation. For the water outlet Road to install the gate valve pump device, the gate valve off the hour, in the pipeline to increase the local resistance, then the pipeline characteristic curve becomes steeper, its working condition point along the water pump's QH curve to move above the left. The smaller the gate, the greater the resistance, and the smaller the flow. This method of changing the pump operating point by turning off the small gate valve is called throttle regulation or variable valve regulation. | [

Clark, George W. | Honorable Mention | Extant | Flushing | Bank | 1959 |
This low-rise bank branch sits on an oddly shaped lot bordering residential Flushing. It consists of a one-story brick pavilion and two-story larger pavilion sitting at angles to each other, giving the structure a dynamic quality. The neat brick and aluminum facade makes for a pleasing composition and both parts of the building contain considerable window area. The building remains in good condition.
Fellheimer and Wagner | Honorable Mention | Significantly Altered | Long Island City | Bank | 1955 |
This one-story bank still sits at the beginning of Queens Boulevard, sited by itself along the road with a large expanse of parking behind it. The orientation has changed with the entrance moved to the other side of the building and all original details are now obscured or removed.
Paul, Gerald Anthony | Honorable Mention | Extant | Long Island City | Industrial Building | 1958 |
The Terry Building is an industrial building in Astoria that features a prominent wall of blue ceramic panels alongside the corner entrance. The rest of the building is covered in a pale brick. The entrance was originally recessed but has since be filled in. The building also features its original configuration of ribbon style windows.
Gordon, Miles A. | Honorable Mention | Extant | Long Island City | Industrial Building | 1955 |
The Sadler Realty Corporation building is a one-story industrial building with a corner office space and truck bays on 48th Avenue and at the other end of the building facing a lot on Van Dam Street. The materials are beige brick and metal trim, now painted blue. It is unclear what Sadler Realty Corp. was or what the building was built for originally. Today it is vacant but most recently was used by Van Wagner Communications.
Perlstein, Jerome W. | Honorable Mention | Extant | Long Island City | Industrial Building | 1955 |
This industrial building retains its original materials of brick with a flat metal roof. The main change has been the enclosure of the windows at the corner of 48th Avenue and 36th Street to create smaller clerestory windows. Originally this entire section had show windows that would have featured the products that Do All Eastern made. Today the building is used by Rama Enterprises, a company that ships products to Thailand. | [

The Iller Bridge Illerbeuren is an important monument of German engineering from the early 20th century. With its impressive span and impressive construction, it was once the longest-span stamped concrete bridge in the world. Originally part of the Memmingen - Legau railway line, over which the "Legauer Bähnle" ran until 1972, the bridge became a symbol of structural change in the region after the line was closed.
After a comprehensive renovation from April 2017 to March 2019, the Iller Bridge now shines in new splendor. The harmonious interplay of architecture and landscape as well as the characteristic main arch and console heads make it an architectural jewel. This jewel, which is now a listed building, is 90 meters long and 13 meters high and blends harmoniously into the surrounding Iller landscape.
The renovation of the Iller Bridge in Illerbeuren not only contributes to sustainability, but also saves an important historic building from demolition. Today the bridge is a tourist highlight in the Lower Allgäu cycle and hiking trail network. A cycling and hiking trail leads over the bridge, which is part of the Unterallgäuer Glückswege, which makes it possible to experience the region in a special way.

Never listen to a politician speak. Their words have negative value.
right. it’s all Obama’s fault.
this never happened:
A federal appeals court on Tuesday struck down regulations that require Internet providers to treat all traffic the same, dealing a potentially fatal blow to President Obama’s push for “net neutrality.”
Opponents of the rules, led by plaintiff Verizon, hailed the decision from the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals as a victory over government meddling in the marketplace. “The court’s decision will allow more room for innovation, and consumers will have more choices to determine for themselves how they access and experience the Internet,” said Randal Milch, Verizon’s executive vice president of public policy.
Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), one of the biggest opponents of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules in Congress, applauded the court for striking down “socialistic regulations.”
Is he or is he not in the fight? By the looks of things he not in the fight. Did he or did he not nominate this head of the FCC? If he was for net neutrality why isn’t the head of the FCC for net neutrality?
There is an election coming up and it looks like the Dems are throwing it.
you mean by trying to pass laws to mandate net neutrality?
how did that bill do?
the GOP killed it.
yep. letting the GOP win will really help with net neutrality! big win there.
Missing the point. The president has the power to support net neutrality by executive means and he’s not doing it. We all know the congress is locked up and the Reps are foretasted to get more seats in the house and gain control of the senate. We are at war and the Dems response? - “meh.”
It’s a matter of political economy, not party. Getting over that mentality will go a long way in understanding the issue.
The fact of the matter is that he’d rather spend political capital on agitating in Syria and in Ukraine. There’s no interest in NN, issues like closing GTMO, the environment, etc.
The president has the power to support net neutrality by executive means and he’s not doing it.
You should take a look at what that court decision was all about.
We are at war and the Dems response? - “meh.”
The Dems’ response was to try to pass a law.
Tom Wheeler is taking suggestions:
If people don’t like the way their ISP does business, they are free to
patronize another ISP. They are also free to start up their own ISP and
run it as they see fit.
The Market has spoken! All hail Jambi!
maybe, except there are only two political choices alas:
- The party that is for Net Neutrality and let this slip through (D)
- The party that is openly against Net Neutrality and blocked the bill that would have prevented this. (R)
Ha Ha, good one. That is the joke of the “free” market. Except it is an extra large joke in this case because of how the internet works. No one, or almost no one, carries data from endpoint to endpoint. Owning your own ISP or switching ISPs won’t do jack if the data passes through a carrier that downgrades it.
Has there yet been any details on the announcement next week that suggests it has anything to do with network neutrality? It sounded to me like it might have just been groundwork to better formalize the sort of lopsided peering agreements that Netflix and Comcast recently got into.
If you think the Netflix/Comcast deal had anything to do with net neutrality, read up on it. This blog has (and links to) several informative points: http://blog.streamingmedia.com/2014/02/media-botching-coverage-netflix-comcast-deal-getting-basics-wrong.html
I really liked lots of things Candidate Obama said when he was running for president. Unfortunately the dude who showed up to actually do the job had a much different set of priorities, which didn’t include fair trials for prisoners at Gitmo, or ending the Iraq War quickly, or spending 15 minutes to fix Don’t Ask Don’t Tell before the courts forced him to, or appointing a Justice Department head who’d prosecute war criminals instead of medical marijuana dispensaries, or putting a public option into the health care system he was giving away to big insurance companies, or following the Constitution’s rules on whether you can assassinate American citizens without a fair trial.
I’m a Libertarian, so I wasn’t expecting Obama to be able to fix Bush’s economic damage overnight, but I was looking forward to at least some hopey changey stuff, and a | [

We’ve all heard that ‘I love you’ from that guy that claimed that you were his world, we’ve heard it from friends who stuck close enough just when they needed you, we’ve heard that same lines from parents who say ‘ I only want what is best for you’. We’ve heard this same words from preachers, Christian brothers and sisters, course mates and relatives but how sincere were those words? Sometimes, we’ve been the ones to say it but deep down we question our sincerity.
Every man seeks affirmation and acceptance from somewhere, something or someone. For most of the world, acceptance is sort from society. Our dear sweet parents are no exclusions. Like a woman who seeks to have a child not because she longs to serve and love that child but to not be the so called ‘barren woman’ on the street. Like the mothers and fathers who send their kids to school, who deep down, want to believe that they do so to ensure them a better life and not just because it reflects well on them. We’ve probably met those parents who ‘kind of’ force their kids to read professional courses, we’ve heard them say ‘my son would study medicine’ while they remain oblivious to the true gifts and talents of their kids. The truth is, they don’t care about the child’s fulfilment, and they only care about the benefits that come their way; better clothes and housing, more money in the account, respect from their friends. Most of our parents seek to live out their lives through us.
Let’s talk about friendships, we all have those guys that only show up only when they need something, those friends, sorry I mean leeches, who are there to drain you out. In most cases, we know them but what about those friends who hang around you, who believe that they are real friends but when their heart is faced with a crystal mirror, it becomes evident that they hang around you either because you make them feel better about themselves or you have the ‘connect’ they need to climb up the ladder. To be honest I think we’ve all been those people. I remember a time, not too long ago, when I desired friendships because I hated being lonely and I wanted to be around people who I could draw from plus it helped my street cred *wink*. I guess that’s the mentality we get, when we base our lives on quotes like ‘associate with those who are higher than you’. What ever happened to just loving people irrespective of what they add to us, isn’t it more profitable to give than to receive?
And yes, the romantic love; ever asked a guy or a girl, why they love someone, the usual answer is ‘he makes me laugh’ or ‘she makes me happy’, ‘I feel good ever time I’m around him’, ‘oh, when he kisses me….’ blah blah blah, we’ve heard it a thousand times. But I wonder, what should be the answer, should our happiness or joy be banked on another human being? Or should our feelings be the mark of what is true, Shosuld being in love be about us? How many of us ask ourselves if we are good for the person we claim we love? How many of us think about their needs before ours?
So I met this guy, six feet three, handsome and well spoken. In less than a month of our friendship, he claimed to be in love. Now to be honest, I can’t 100percent blame him, I led him on. I’m not excusing it but he was fineeeeeeee!!!!! And I was blinded with what was physical. As we grew closer, I began to see how it was impossible for me and him to be an item, we had conflicting views on several issues that where deal breakers for me. In his mind, he was perfect for me, and I was for him. He never thought about how he would make me better, through our conversations (thanks to the holy spirit), I could see how it was as if I wasn’t in the equation, by this I mean, it was evident that in his dreams, which he shared, he only saw how I would benefit him, how I’d make the perfect wife for a striving lawyer with political ambitions. He never thought to think if he would be the kind of man, a girl like me needs. Was his love for me selfish? Yes, that doesn’t mean that mine was any less selfish.
When we get involved in romantic relations, most times it’s about us; don’t get me wrong, falling in love is an awesome decision for both parties involved but I believe it should be based on something bigger than ourselves. Love is the most abused word in the world, I’m learning every day that everything we do must be birthed from a place of genuine love. Now, I’m not saying | [

By Rachel Carnell
This is often the 1st full-length biography of Delarivier Manley (c.1670-1724). A Tory pamphleteer, playwright, and satirical historian, Manley used to be looked by way of her contemporaries Jonathan quick and Robert Harley as a key member of the Tory propaganda staff. Her best-selling political scandal chronicle ''The New Atalantis'' (1709) helped to convey down the Whig ministry in 1710. Her attractiveness was once tarnished, despite the fact that, in next generations and twentieth-century students usually misinterpret her works as under-developed novels instead of as complicated works of political satire. Carnell argues that Manley's quasi-autobiographical writings ''Letters Writen [sic] by means of Mrs. Manley'' (1696) and ''The Adventures of Rivella'' (1714) are coyly political self-portraits which needs to be learn of their ancient context.This is the 1st ebook to take account of all recognized information regarding Manley's existence and paintings. It corrects many oft-repeated error in extant scholarship, and uncovers formerly unknown information about her lifestyles, together with proof approximately 3 illegitimate little ones by way of John Tilly, Governor of Fleet criminal. Carnell explores the fragile verbal negotiations required for a girl to go into the partisan hotbed of the early eighteenth-century political debate, therefore supplying a big historic standpoint on women's carrying on with efforts this day to be taken heavily within the political public sphere.

Additional info for A Political Biography Of Delarivier Manley
That Other Royalist ‘Captain Manley’ Despite his own royalist laments after the Restoration and his daughter’s subsequent insistence on his unswerving loyalty, in the autumn of 1657 Manley described himself willing, even eager, to be in Cromwell’s employ; by the spring of 1658, he appeared ready to negotiate with de Witt’s government, for a fair price. These attempts at finding employment, however, may not have prevented him from staying in touch with other royalists or agents of the future Charles II, whose whereabouts Manley routinely reported to Dorislaus.
As has already been explained, however, if any vestiges of his royalist sympathies were still intact at this juncture, Manley probably would have felt less loyalty to de Witt’s government than he would have felt had the United Provinces been led by William II of Orange. 19 As a royalist (if he still considered himself one after ten years or more of exile), Manley may in fact have felt some sympathy for Sweden, which had in 1649 shown support for the Stuart cause. He also probably felt a loyalty to the English nation and England’s naval power, whether or not the Stuarts were currently ruling England.
Nevertheless, her father’s loyalty, and the personal sacrifices he made for the crown, were, according to her own account, an informing theme of her childhood years. 36 In a short autobiographical sketch in The New Atalantis, Manley describes her family story as she must have heard it | [

From the viewpoint of energy conversion, hydraulic pump and hydraulic motor are reversible hydraulic components. Inputting working fluid to any kind of hydraulic pump can turn it into the working condition of hydraulic motor; Conversely, when the main shaft of the hydraulic motor rotates driven by external torque, it can also be changed to the working condition of the hydraulic pump. Because they have the same basic structural elements - closed and periodically variable volume and corresponding oil distribution mechanism. However, due to the different working conditions of hydraulic motor and hydraulic pump, there are still many differences between the same type of hydraulic motor and hydraulic pump. Firstly, the hydraulic motor should be able to forward and reverse, so its internal structure is required to be symmetrical; The speed range of hydraulic motor needs to be large enough, especially for its minimum stable speed. Therefore, it usually adopts rolling bearing or hydrostatic sliding bearing; Secondly, because the hydraulic motor works under the condition of input pressure oil, it does not have to have self-priming capacity, but it needs a certain initial sealing to provide the necessary starting torque. Due to these differences, the hydraulic motor and hydraulic pump are similar in structure, but they can not work reversibly. | [

Featuring two small lakes and ten miles of trails, Copper Breaks State Park in Quanah, Texas is the perfect RV vacation destination. The park is mellow and quiet, with 1,898 acres available for you to explore and enjoy. Originally, Copper Breaks State Park was part of the land held by the Comanche and Kiowa Native Americans. Although Comanche Mounds are not found inside the of the park itself, there are Comanche Mound sites within Hardeman County. The land for the park was purchased from a private landowner in 1970, and the park was opened to the public in 1974. This park is one of two in Texas state parks that have been designated as International Dark Sky Parks, a distinction that is awarded to areas that promote sky conservation and environmentally responsible outdoor lighting throughout the world. Along with stargazing opportunities, there are many recreational activities to enjoy in the park, including boating, fishing, mountain biking, swimming, wildlife viewing, backpacking, and kite flying.
If you want to stay the night, choose one of the 24 powered camping sites that have 30-and 50-amp electrical hookups, fire rings with grills, lantern posts, and a waist-high grill. If you would rather have a space with water rather than electricity, there are 11 of those sites available. Equestrian camping is also available along with group sites and primitive camping areas. Peak season in Copper Breaks State Park is during the spring and summer months.
Copper Breaks State Park is located in the northern section of Texas and is around 26 miles from the Oklahoma border. The park is in between a few smaller towns, with Crowell in the south, Quanah in the north, and Vernon to the east. Oklahoma City and Amarillo are around three hours away from the park, Wichita Falls is approximately two and a half hours, and Abilene is about two hours. Driving to the park is very easy as the area is extremely flat. There are no real deterrents, such as tight roads or mountain driving. There may be some snow during the wintertime, but usually, there won't be enough to cause driving issues.
Getting into the park shouldn't be an issue either as there are no overhanging trees, and each campsite has ample space. If you are coming from Wichita Falls, you can take US 287 West to Quanah. From Abilene, take US 277 North to Stamford. Parking is plentiful in Copper Breaks State Park, so you won't have to worry about not being able to find a spot within the park. However, you may want to leave your rig at the campsite and walk, bike, or go horseback through the park, so you don’t have to worry about maneuvering around curves or corners.
The Comanche Camping Area offers 25 spacious sites that have a 50-amp electric connection. There is also one full-service site that has a 50-amp connection along with water and sewer hookups. The camping area is very spread out in an open field so that you won't be cramped up. All sites come with a picnic table, a lantern hanger, a campfire ring, and a standup BBQ grill for cooking. The tables are shaded with large wooded teepee-like structures, which help to provide a unique picnicking experience. Parking pads range from 39 to 53 feet in length. Other campground amenities include a playground, showers, toilets, and a dump station. Pets are welcome but must be kept on a leash and supervised at all times. You may struggle to find good cell reception, but you can pick up one or two bars of signal around the camping area. It is important to reserve your site ahead of time because they fill up fast.
There are 13 equestrian campsites for campers with horses. Each site has water, a lantern hook, picnic table, a campfire ring, and a BBQ grill for cooking. The parking pads range from 28 to 55 feet long, so make sure you reserve a spot that is big enough for your RV or trailer. You will have to use a string line to secure your horses and do not tie them to shrubs or trees. The park also has restrooms nearby, and you can use the showers from the other two campgrounds if needed.
These wooded sites are close to the Big Pond where you can swim or fish and the 3.8-mile Equestrian Trail where you can take a hike with your four-hoofed friend anytime you want. If you would rather walk, the 1.3-mile Chris’ Link Trail is accessible from here as well. Pets are welcome as long as you keep them adequately restrained and supervise them at all times during your stay.

There is no more entertaining chief executive in the auto industry that Fiat Chrysler Automobiles' Sergio Marchionne.
He is the opposite of boring, and he knows no fear. Acquiring Chrysler out of bankruptcy was just the beginning.
Last year, he spun off Ferrari in an IPO and conducted a very public courtship with General Motors, seeking a merger. But he was rebuffed.
Now he's after a different dance partner: Apple.
Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV Chief Executive Officer Sergio Marchionne, who describes himself as an “Apple freak,” is keen to partner with the technology giant on building a car.
Given the complexity of auto manufacturing, Apple Inc. would be better served working with an established manufacturer than trying to build a car on its own, and the Italian-American company would be well-suited, according to Marchionne, who says he owns every kind of product Apple makes.
This one is a doozy, even from Marchionne. Perhaps the appeal for Apple would be in Fiat style, and believe it or not, Apple's top-secret car undertaking, "Project Titan," is rumored to have imported a 1957 Fiat to some mysterious end. Although a Multipla 600, a rudimentary postwar people mover, is hardly an icon of European chic.
It certainly isn't quality. FCA has seen booming sales over the past two years, but its vehicles are routinely cited by Consumer Reports for iffy reliability.
Despite that, one of the auto industry hires that Apple has made was Doug Betts — a former Chrysler quality czar.
Before you start thinking that there might be some kind of connection, note that Betts left Chrysler in 2014 after Chrysler and Fiat were clobbered by Consumer Reports.
You can't blame Marchionne for trying. It's clear that no traditional automaker wants to join with FCA, so Marchionne has shifted focus to Silicon Valley and Apple's massive cash pile.
But if Apple actually wanted to pair up with an old-school car company, Marchionne hasn't necessarily laid very good groundwork. If Apple builds a car, it will almost certainly be propelled by electricity — and Marchionne is no big fan of EVs.
""I will sell the (minimum) of what I need to sell and not one more," Marchionne said in 2014, speaking of the Fiat 500e, a car that at the time he claimed to lose $14,000 on for every sale.

Radcliffe “Cliffe” Killam II, partner at Killam Oil Co., is today’s featured Forty Under 40 honoree.
Killam helped transform his family’s multigeneration oil business into a more efficient organization driven by clear communication and common goals.
Based in Laredo, Texas, Killam Oil is a private, family owned company with core operations in South Texas. The company also has holdings in Kansas, Arkansas, Nebraska and Louisiana.
“When I joined Killam Oil 10 years ago, I faced a stiff challenge: changing a multigenerational company that did not believe change was necessary,” he said. “I knew that change was going to take creative organizational thinking in an industry that generally likes to set distinct lanes and keep them that way.”
In this industry of “distinct lanes,” Killam said he began to cross-pollinate the organization, not through a restructuring, but through personal invitation of different departments to meet with each other.
“Individuals began seeing the larger picture in their individual decisions,” he said. “They became more confident in their decision-making because silos no longer limited their vision of the company’s ultimate goals.”
Before joining Killam Oil in January 2011, he had worked at Standard Chartered Bank (formerly Harrison Lovegrove) in the oil and gas investment banking group where he completed over $600 million in transactions in the U.S., Latin America and Africa. He also previously worked as an analyst at Wood Mackenzie and was a part of the team that launched and built out the U.S. upstream research and consulting services.
The recently formed Tailwater Royalties will focus on the acquisition of minerals and royalties across multiple basins throughout North America, including the Permian Basin, Williston, Eagle Ford and Rockies.
Carrizo Oil & Gas is reportedly considering a merger with rival U.S. shale producer SM Energy, according to a recent report by Bloomberg citing people familiar with the matter.
Today’s featured Forty Under 40 honoree is John Argo, Continental Resources’ vice president of business development who has helped the Oklahoma City-based oil producer reduce its debt by more than $1 billion. | [

What is IPv6? IP version 6,
IPv6, is the new Internet Protocol for the world's growing multitude of
mobiles, tablets, sensors, computers and routers.
Why Use IPv6?
What are the differences between IPv4 and IPv6? Why is IPv6 better than IPv4?
Here is a comparison of IPv4 and IPv4 in six important areas.
An Internet Protocol
Primer Nearly all possible IPv4 addresses have now been allocated,
and unlike telephone numbers, when you run out of network
addresses you can't just add another digit: a new protocol, IPv6, is required.
IPv4 vs IPv6: The Benefits
Reasons for IPv6: Carrots
and Sticks The Internet, the Cloud, or the Internet of Things can't
grow without IPv6. It builds larger, cheaper, easier networks. See our list of
IPv6 carrots and sticks.
IPv6 offers enhanced and new capabilities: vastly
increased address space, fixed 40-byte headers, autoconfiguration, IPsec
support, end-to-end transparency, extension headers, anycasting,
mobileIPv6, and flow label QoS.
IPv6 is not just a way to
avoid the address space crunch, it is also a path to innovation and new
opportunities. But some tenacious myths about IPv6 can cause unwarranted concern.
Advantages The number of connections in the Internet creates a valuable network
effect. Because IPv6 will greatly increase the number of connected
devices, the network effect will also greatly increase. | [

Fans recognized the best player Jikia of «Spartacus» in July
Footballer «Spartacus» Georgy Jikia recognized as the best player of the team in July, according to the fans. The defender won the vote on the official website of «red-white» — his candidacy was chosen by 37% of respondents.
Second place in the voting for the best player of July took the goalkeeper Alexander Maksimenko (20%), and the third was the midfielder Zelimkhan Bakaev (19%).
In July Djikia without replacements, played for the «Spartacus» three matches of the championship of Russia. In the away game against «Rostov» (2:2) defender scored a goal, sending the ball into the opponent’s head after a canopy with angular.
Djikia stands for «Spartak» from 2017. In the team he won the Russian championship and the super Cup. With the new season the player is the captain of the «red-whites», in this role, he was replaced by Denis Glushakov, who left the team in the summer transfer window.
After four rounds of the championship of Russia «Spartak» is in the standings to 11th place with five points. Last weekend, the «red-white» played a goalless draw in the Moscow Derby against Dynamo. The nearest match «Spartak» will play on August 8 in the framework of qualifications for the Europa League away against the Swiss «Thun». | [

Bayern get pope's blessing after Roma thrashing
22 October 2014, 13:10
Vatican - A day after thrashing local club Roma 7-1, Bayern Munich staff and players Wednesday paid a visit to the Bishop of Rome, otherwise known as Pope Francis.
Club captains Philipp Lahm and Manuel Neuer and coach Pep Guardiola presented the football-loving pontiff with a Bayern shirt signed by all the players.
Francis, an Argentinian who follows Buenos Aires club San Lorenzo, praised the Bayern squad for their Champions League demolition job in the Olympic stadium.

"You played a wonderful game yesterday," he was quoted as saying on Bayern's website, adding: "Football is good and healthy, and a good role model for children as a team sport."
Bayern chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, who spent three seasons in Italy with Internazionale, chatted with the pontiff in Italian, telling him that the audience had been a "great honour".
Rummenigge also announced that the club would be donating one million euros in proceeds from an upcoming friendly match for Francis to pass on to a charity or charities of his choice.

Experimentally constrained CA1 fast-firing parvalbumin-positive interneuron network models exhibit sharp transitions into coherent high frequency rhythms

The coupling of high frequency oscillations (HFOs; >100 Hz) and theta oscillations (3–12 Hz) in the CA1 region of rats increases during REM sleep, indicating that it may play a role in memory processing. However, it is unclear whether the CA1 region itself is capable of providing major contributions to the generation of HFOs, or if they are strictly driven through input projections. Parvalbumin-positive (PV+) interneurons may play an essential role in these oscillations due to their extensive connections with neighboring pyramidal cells, and their characteristic fast-spiking. Thus, we created mathematical network models to investigate the conditions under which networks of CA1 fast-spiking PV+ interneurons are capable of producing high frequency population rhythms. We used whole-cell patch clamp recordings of fast-spiking, PV+ cells in the CA1 region of an intact hippocampal preparation in vitro to derive cellular properties, from which we constrained an Izhikevich-type model. Novel, biologically constrained network models were constructed with these individual cell models, and we investigated networks across a range of experimentally determined excitatory inputs and inhibitory synaptic strengths. For each network, we determined network frequency and coherence. Network simulations produce coherent firing at high frequencies (>90 Hz) for parameter ranges in which PV-PV inhibitory synaptic conductances are necessarily small and external excitatory inputs are relatively large. Interestingly, our networks produce sharp transitions between random and coherent firing, and this sharpness is lost when connectivity is increased beyond biological estimates. Our work suggests that CA1 networks may be designed with mechanisms for quickly gating in and out of high frequency coherent population rhythms, which may be essential in the generation of nested theta/high frequency rhythms.
High frequency oscillations (HFOs; >100 Hz) are recorded from the CA1 region of the hippocampus, and are distinct from gamma oscillations (30–100 Hz), sharp-wave ripple oscillations (100–250 Hz), and the spectral leakage of spiking activity (Scheffer-Teixeira et al., 2012). These high frequency rhythms are nested within the slower theta oscillations (3–12 Hz) in the CA1 region during decision making and REM sleep of rats (Tort et al., 2008; Scheffer-Teixeira et al., 2012), and therefore may play an important role in memory processing. However, whether these oscillations are generated by an intrinsic CA1 mechanism or are driven by CA3 and entorhinal cortical projections, and whether the oscillations are generated by a particular cell type or a network of various cell populations, remains unclear.
Insight to these questions have been gained by Jackson et al. (2011), who recorded rhythms in the subiculum with frequencies similar to HFOs. These oscillations were dependent on fast γ-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) inhibition, and not α-Amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA), kainite, or N-Methyl-D-aspartic acid (NMDA) glutamate receptors. Thus, a network of inhibitory interneurons may be responsible for the generation of these HFOs. The fast-firing properties of hippocampal parvalbumin-positive (PV+) interneurons, and their extensive, often perisomatic and axo-axonic targeting, connections with neighboring excitatory neurons, provide them with enormous potential to influence hippocampal network rhythms. Indeed, perisomatic targeting interneurons are thought to critically influence the timing of pyramidal cell spiking (Cobb et al., 1995; Miles et al., 1996) and the synchronization of large groups of pyramidal cells (Freund and Buzsáki, 1996), providing them with the means to influence the frequency and power of network oscillations. Thus, fast spiking interneurons likely play an important role in these HFOs.
Mathematical models may provide insight to the underlying mechanisms of these oscillations, as they allow one to parse out specific cell populations and investigate their network properties in a simplified setting. However, direct links between fast-spiking interneuron models and empirically determined cellular intrinsic and network characteristics do not exist, and this contributes to the challenge of interpreting model | [

Before humankind knew religion, politics, or security, it knew revolution. From the Ionian Revolt of 499 BC to the Darfur Rebellion of 2003, there is no denying that the history of man has been built from revolution and that it has severely shaped the world we live in today; no one more so, perhaps, than the French Revolution of 1789. Regarded as possibly the most influential socio-political revolutions in human history, the French Revolution had countless good outcomes (the downfall of aristocracy, the creation of a new, more efficient government system, etc.). However, this was a time of horror for the people of France plagued with death, terror, and loss. It is important, then, that humankind in this age clearly understands what could have been done to prevent over an estimated 75,000 deaths. And so the question becomes what was the main cause of the French Revolution? Some historians believe that the enlightenment ideology was the main reason for the revolution. Others would disagree, placing the blame on the transparency of Louis XVI's incompetence. And others, still, would argue that the economic crisis of France was at fault. This is not an easy issue to resolve, because of the fact that it occurred over two hundred years ago, and that there is simply no way to set aside the specific circumstances that existed at the time and be able to know for sure. That being said, because the incompetence of the king, the enlightened ideas, and all other minor reasons have incredibly strong counterarguments, the best answer to the question becomes that of economic events and the crisis France was in at the time.
For a century prior to the French Revolution, the French monarchy had operated fiscally without a legislature. Because of this, the country was virtually bankrupt. Heavy spending on the American War of Independence and the Seven Year's War, as well as Louis XIV's excessive spending on commodities such as Versailles and reliance on agriculture for...

This year, 38% of Britons rated flood defences as a priority, whereas last year the figure was 45%. This 7% fall in concern is larger than the 5% drop seen for housing supply, which last year was rated by 48% of people as a priority for investment, but this year that had decreased to 43%.
Meanwhile, rail infrastructure has risen as a priority from 44% to 46%, meaning it is now the type of infrastructure uppermost in people’s minds for investment.
The second Global Infrastructure Index also shows 30% of Britons rate the quality of flood defences as very or fairly good, which is the same rating given in the US. This compares to 48% in Germany, 35% in France, but ahead of Japan’s 29% in Japan and Italy's 12%.
The Index findings were published in a relatively calm period for the UK. There have been no floods in the UK of a magnitude comparable to the ones that swept Lancashire and Yorkshire on Boxing Day 2015, just weeks after Storm Desmond swamped Cumbria and parts of Scotland and Wales.
And in September, a report by the Committee on Climate Change found most of the UK’s flood alleviation schemes are reducing flood risk households to low or moderate levels (Flood Briefing 6 Sept 17)
However, the Met Office warned in July (Flood Briefing 26 July 17) that England and Wales face a 1 in 3 chance of a new monthly rainfall record like 2015’s Storm Desmond during the winter months.
Attitudes to flood infrastructure contrast with those to water supply and sewerage. Most Britons appear to be happy with the current quality of water supply and sewerage infrastructure, with 74% of people rating the UK’s as very or fairly good, higher than every other country with the exception of Germany. Nevertheless, investment levels in water supply and sewerage infrastructure rose as a priority, from 17% in 2016 to 20% this year.
The second Global Infrastructure Index was conducted by Ipsos MORI across 28 countries. Overall, 59% of Britons agreed that we are not doing enough as a country to meet our infrastructure needs and 74% are of the view that investment in infrastructure is vital to future economic growth. Both of these are little changed since 2016.
Commenting on the findings, Ben Marshall, research director for infrastructure at Ipsos MORI, said: "Our second Global Infrastructure Index finds little has changed over the past twelve months. The British still think investment in infrastructure is vital to future economic growth and there remains a sense that we are not doing enough to meet needs.
But it does show an uptick in the salience of rail infrastructure. This is likely to reflect British reliance on rail – we’re more dependent on rail to get around than many other countries – and also inferior ratings here of the current quality of tracks and stations compared to elsewhere, including Germany, the US, France and Japan." | [

Our premium quality Scilly Ass T-shirt has the fun, distinctive Scilly Billy logo printed in the back.
The story of Scilly Ass
Scilly Ass fancies himself as Captain Jack Sparrow ever since appearing in a production of Pirates of the Caribbean - At Land's End at the Minack Theatre in 2010. However, he hasn't quite got the brains and wit to pull it off. Despite this, he has many admirers throughout the islands and is popular with the ladies.
Being such a silly ass he can get himself into some tricky situations. Unlike Jack, he survives more on luck than by using wit and negotiation.
He knows he has many female admirers amongst the islanders, including his friend Moo. But he is far too busy having fun adventures as a single Scilly Ass. | [

The planned operational mode of the waterworks Essen-Überruhr was tested concerning its geohydraulic influence and its internal producibility with the help of a groundwater model. Additionally the impact on the groundwater flow situation with and without a cut-off both at mean water level and high-water level of the Ruhr should be established. To answer these questions
- a twodimensional unsteady groundwater model was created.
- This model is calibrated on the mean water level of the Ruhr.
- Unsteady high-water situations were predicted.
- About 20 different scenarios were calculated and evaluated altogether.
- Speciality: Modelling the collecting pipes in the model. To model a lifter system approximately in a groundwater model the water level differences between the collecting pipes can be determined.So the differences in height of a reference collecting pipe are defined relatively to the reference pipe of each collecting pipe. | [

The Importance of Public Transparency
Public transparency is a key cornerstone of local government activity. It is not uncommon for citizens to be mistrustful of governmental entities – when people don’t fully understand the reasons for fast or sudden changes, they tend to lean more towards skepticism. Municipal leaders largely follow the sentiment that transparency is crucial in keeping with freedom and democracy, and they understand that citizens desire information and easy access to that information. However, practicing strong public transparency is much easier said than done, and many municipalities struggle to do so in a relevant, efficient and cost-effective manner. As the bulk of good ideas comes from citizen feedback, it is crucial for local governments to maintain healthy and open lines of communication with the public to foster a strong working relationship.
Developing public transparency also means delivering on accountability expectations. Citizens are always looking to see that the local government is putting their tax dollars to good use, and generally expect to see good reasoning for and positive outcomes from the decisions that are made. Local governments that ensure citizens that they maintain accountability for all things in their control helps the public feel at peace and can even spark a sense of pride. For individuals or businesses looking to move into a new city, town or village, visiting a municipality’s website is likely one of their first screening steps. It is up to the municipality to provide an easily navigable website that communicates to an outsider everything they would need to know to get a good sense of the area and how effective – or ineffective – the local government seems to be. Best practices for public transparency will naturally support and improve other aspects of local government activity.
How Public Transparency Impacts Citizen Engagement
When local governments take steps to improve public transparency, they are also setting the groundwork for stronger citizen engagement. Of course, personal interaction between local government workers and citizens has always been an effective method of developing and growing positive relationships. However, advancements in technology have moved a lot of those interactions online, which offers a number of additional benefits in terms of citizen engagement.
Now, engagement can be measured by how citizens are interacting with the resources and information that municipalities provide online. When it is clear that a local government organization is working hard to be as transparent with the community as possible, such as consistently posting announcements and resources online, citizen engagement increases as a result. Municipalities can expect to see more citizens contributing to local government discussions and participating in government-run activities simply because they feel that their local government is accessible, approachable and transparent.
Leveraging a Board Portal for Better Public Transparency
Making data and information more available to the public is a core responsibility of local government organizations. If municipalities don’t invest in the right tools that help facilitate this process, they are not truly investing in public transparency. In the highly digital world of today, practicing transparency means giving the public digital access to information. With the right technology on their side, local governments can make public transparency achievable, scalable and cost-effective while enabling easy digital access to local government data for smaller towns, large cities and everything in between.
A board portal enables local governments to run leaner by making more efficient use of their time and resources, digitizing records and automating tedious, manual processes that bar local government workers from fulfilling their other responsibilities. Things like digital records and advanced search tools online significantly decrease the volume of public requests and give citizens the sense that their local government puts them first. | [

This anthology of 16 new short stories that pay homage to the great detective includes whodunits by S.J. Rozan, Phillip and Jerry Margolin, Colin Cotterill, and Charles Todd. Other contributors include Lee Child, Neil Gaiman, Laura Lippman, Margaret Maron, and Jacqueline Winspear
A passionate lifelong fan of the Sherlock Holmes adventures, Pulitzer Prize-winning critic Michael Dirda is a member of The Baker Street Irregulars--the most famous and romantic of all Sherlockian groups. Combining memoir and appreciation, On Conan Doyle is a highly engaging personal introduction to Holmes's creator, as well as a rare insider's account of the curiously delightful activities and playful scholarship of The Baker Street Irregulars.
In England's young silent-film industry, the megalomaniacal Randolph Fflytte is king. Nevertheless, at the request of Scotland Yard, Mary Russell is dispatched to investigate rumors of criminal activities that swirl around Fflytte's popular movie studio.
After finally catching serial killer and occult'sorcerer' Lord Blackwood, legendary sleuth Sherlock Holmes and his assistant Dr. Watson can close yet another successful case. After his execution, Blackwood mysteriously returns from the grave and resumes his killing spree, Holmes must take up the hunt once again.
With an introduction by Leslie S. Klinger, editor and compiler of all three volumes of the Annotated Sherlock Holmes, this collection of ten original stories brings light to one of the least examined periods in the life of the great detective - his time in the former colonies, the United States. This Holmes is a youthful one - a young man not yet set upon his course in life and in his famous lodgings at 221B Baker Street.
Five original tales inspired by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's iconic character feature Holmes taking on such challenges as the famed siege of Sydney Street, a planned German invasion of America, and a supernatual curse
Sherlock Holmes is known as the greatest detective who never lived. All the classic tales are here, as the great detective and his faithful companion, Dr. Watson, tangle with the terrifying hound of the Baskervilles, the beautiful adventuress Irene Adler, and the dastardly villains Colonel Sebastian Moran, Charles Augustus Milverton, and the Napoleon of crime himself, Professor James Moriarty
A contemporary take on the classic Arthur Conan Doyle stories, Sherlock is a thrilling, funny, fast-paced adventure series set in present-day London. The iconic details from Conan Doyle's original books remain: they live at the same address, have the same names, and, somewhere out there, Moriarty is waiting for them. And so across three thrilling, scary, action-packed, and highly modern adventures, Sherlock and John navigate a maze of cryptic clues and lethal killers to get at the truth.
In Los Angeles, a geological surveyor maps out a proposed subway route--and then goes missing. His eight-year-old daughter, in her desperation, turns to the one person she thinks might help--she writes a letter to Sherlock Holmes.
"In the summer of 1893, Gustav “Old Red” Amlingmeyer and his brother Otto (a.k.a. “Big Red”) find themselves down and out in San Francisco. Though cowpokes by training, the brothers are devotees of the late, great Sherlock Holmes and his trademark method of 'deducifying'"-- Excerpted from jacket
Hoping to recoup his losses after answering a misdirected letter to Sherlock Holmes, barrister Reggie Heath represents a limousine driver who has been accused of murdering two tourists, a case that is complicated by a letter from a descendant of Professor Moriarty.
Maintaining tenuous contact only by means of coded messages and cryptic notes with her husband, Sherlock Holmes, and with Holmes' young granddaughter in her safekeeping, Russell will have to call on instincts she didn't know she had as the famous husband and wife sleuths are pursued by a killer immune from the sting of justice
With approval from the estate of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, a best-selling novelist and Sherlock Holmes expert brings the greatest detective in literary history back to life on Baker Street for the first time since 1930
Audiobook. The adventures of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's famous detective and his faithful companion Dr. Watson are given a novel treatment by Michael Dibdin in this thriller, which finds the detectives stalking Jack the Ripper in the streets of London's East End in 1888.
Though Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's name is recognized the world over, for decades the man himself has been overshadowed by his better understood creation, Sherlock Holmes, who has become one of literature's most enduring characters.

And to stay ahead of the influx of work during peak service months, you need the proper machinery and equipment. For example, sealcoat trucks are perfect for asphalt contractors wishing to provide asphalt protection for large lots and roadways. To invest in a new sealcoat truck or other asphalt equipment, contact E.D. Etnyre & Co. today.
Why Choose Sealcoating Trucks?
The sealcoating equipment that best fits your business will depend on your clients and the projects you take on. Thankfully, no matter your business’s needs, Etnyre can match you with the right machinery. For example, sealcoating trucks a necessary for contractors who:
- Take Larger Jobs
- When managing smaller jobs, such as private lots or driveways, a sealcoating truck isn’t necessary. In fact, sealcoating buggies work well for small projects. However, if you wish to take projects outside residential paving and small commercial jobs, you’ll need a sealcoating truck. Etnyre’s sealcoating trucks can carry significant volumes of sealcoating mixture, ensuring large lots and roadways can be easily covered.
- Lack of Trucks & Trailers
- While an effective alternative to sealcoating trucks is sealcoating trailers, this can be an inconvenient option for contractors who lack vehicles for hauling trailers. Conversely, sealcoating trucks are designed with the tank and vehicle as part of the same system. You can easily control the output of your sealcoat tank and spray bar from the cab of your truck, unlike with a trailer’s controls.
- Go Further Distances
- In addition to taking large jobs, sealcoating trucks enable contractors to provide their services to a greater area. Our sealcoating trucks can carry thousands of gallons of sealcoating mixture, keeping it hot, fresh and ready for use after any distance. For comparison, sealcoating buggies only hold a few hundred gallons of sealcoating and must be transported to job sites via additional trucks and trailers.

Before, you are giving the food items at the baby you should know and understand the essential things as well as how to eat healthier food. And, the degree of nutrition has very important to raise the healthy life. So you should follow the guidelines that can help you for encouraging your kids to eat right away as well as maintain the healthy weight. Some of the key essential things or rules to live the life in the healthy manner such as:
- The main thing has parents should control the supply lines and you need to decide which food items to buy as well as when to serve them without any worry or wastage. Thought the kids that will pester their parents for the less nutrition food items, but the adult age people should be in the charge when they are deciding the food items that are regularly stocked in the house. The kids won’t go hungry for taking the food and they will eat what thing has available in the cupboard and fridge at the home.
- You should properly maintain the schedule regular meal and snack times from the selections you offer and let them choose what to eat during the certain time and how much of it they want to maintain the healthy life.
- Another important factor has quit the clean plate club and kids stop eating when they are feet to have enough food. But, lots of parents grew up under the clean plate rule and the approach does not help the kids listen to their own body condition when they feel fuller. As well as when the kids notice and respond to the feeling of the fullness and they are likely to eat the food.
- Try to start with the good things from the young age itself because food as very essential and important factor to lead the life without any worry or sorrow to the entire life due to the health condition. The food preference is developed early in the lifestyle because there are different variations as offered based on the child requirements. Easily you can analysis the baby though either they may be like or dislike the food items. And, you may need to serve the new food item on the several different varieties in the occasions for the child to accept it. Don’t force the child to eat the food, but little offer a few bites to eat it because with the older kids ask them try to eat one bite.
- Rewrite the kids’ menu based on the favorite set of food items. Most of the children like to eat the outside world of the food such as pizza, burgers and macaroni or cheese because when they are eating out and let your child try to find out the new foods as well as they might surprise you with their willingness to experiment when you can start by letting them to try a little of whatever you ordered from them.
- Try to practice to drink the calorie count such as milk and soda other some type of sweetened drinks as well as add the extra calories to get the best way of maintaining the good nutrition without any defect in the health condition. Water and milk are the best source to maintain the health life for the kids especially for the juice as a very fine source when they are 100% nutrition to maintain the life.
- Put the sweets in their place occasional take the sweets as fine for the health, but don’t prefer the dessert into the main reason for the eating dinner. When the dessert is the prize for eating the dinner naturally because that is very good for the health condition and more value on the cupcake than the broccoli item as well as try to stay neutral about the food items.
- Most of the children did not like food items and they want to find out the best way to love some other food item in the outside world. When the foods are used to reward the kids and show affection start eating and using the food to cope with the stress or some other emotions to like the food items. | [

New Delhi: The speed and scale of the social and economic fallout from COVID-19 is quickly materializing in concerns about the future resumption of OEM operations. The inevitable impact of the lockdown imposed to contain COVID-19 followed by a restricted phase recovery is causing potential adjustments in the work culture of some departments in automotive companies, especially engineering, design and technology deployment.
The pervasiveness and complexity of technology make it difficult for engineers at the forefront of R&D to operate from remote locations, as technical development requires careful discussion, but unprecedented times call for unprecedented innovation.
Thanks to the Internet of Things (IoT), parts of the work can be monitored virtually and video conferencing can be used to give advice, companies still have to rely on physical testing and validation to ensure the quality of the result.
At the country’s largest automaker, Maruti Suzuki India (MSI), the product and engineering team relies on 50% virtual validation and 50% physical validation to meet quality standards, a informed Purushottam Panda, Executive Director, PowerTrain, MSI at ETAuto CXO Roundtable.
Panda pointed out, “It is a difficult time in which the digitalized development process offers an opportunity as engineers gain valuable insight into more efficient and innovative manufacturing. At the same time, we want to make sure that the quality of the product and the service we offer matches the requirements of the customer for whom physical testing is required.
Companies have also rolled out shift schedules and rotation schedules for engineers so they can function while respecting the 30% workforce rule and maintaining social distancing. Engineers and technicians can innovate and think from home, then travel to their workplace to assess practical features.
The product and engineering team rely on 50% virtual validation and 50% physical validation to meet quality standards.Purushottam Panda, ED, PowerTrain, MSI
Meanwhile, MG Motor India has leveraged its global engineering bases, including R&D centers in Asia, UK and India, to expand its product programs, Gaurav Gupta, director, told ETAuto. commercial of the company. Hero Motocorp two-wheeler leader Pawan Munjal in a digital chat had informed that people had already returned to CIT Jaipur, Hero’s global center for innovation and technology. Munjal said: “We have already started working on development, whether its new models, changes or technical modifications while meeting social distancing standards.”
Giving an overview of remote design and development approaches during and after the COVID-19 crisis, Murali Lakshminarasimhan, Head – Presales, Siemens Digital Industries Software India stressed that virtual manufacturing needs to be properly tracked and tested, which requires a robust digital configuration.
Lakshminarasimhan explained, “The process is based on the base model system, which means that from the start when the whole program is designed, every stakeholder in the process must be kept in the chain. A model-based system in which you load the process and connect each network, the design area is linked to the process. Product traceability is key as far as the program is concerned.
The Siemens presales manager believes that deploying IoT for product development makes sense for the company, even in the non-Covid scenario. There are ways to virtually validate and control assembly costs, and the process keeps evolving. In addition, virtual pilot production tests can enrich the final design, bringing quality.
Many global automakers have turned to remote tools to help their engineering and design teams stay busy, too. Ford engineers, for example, use virtual reality headsets at home for collaborative design sessions.
At Mercedes’ six research and development sites in North America, hardware and software prototypes for new interaction concepts for the company’s next-generation MBUX infotainment system are used to maintain the workflow.
However, getting that kind of ecosystem and connectivity in India is a bit difficult, pointed out Chulanga Perera, CIO, Daimler India Commercial Vehicles Pvt Ltd, because the infrastructure and ecosystem have to match. Perera underlined: “At Daimler we have the technologies, but we also need the infrastructure.
The company plans to integrate more AGVs (Automatic Guided Vehicles) into its production line to ensure productivity in the absence of labor.
While the development of digital products and their virtual reality inspection is nothing new to automakers, the shelter-in-place situation in most parts of the world has made the technology all the more important and companies will need to look to innovate their practices to use it to their best advantage. | [

The Electrical Properties of Epoxy Resin Composites Filled with Cnts and Carbon Black
Abstract:This work introduces an experimental activity related to the realization of an epossidic nanostructured material that develops the function of covering for electronic circuits in aeronautical field. This covering meets the demand of protection of these circuits from possible troubles of electromagnetic nature. In order to realize this covering we used an epoxy resin as matrix (Epon 828) loaded with conductive nanofillers or carbon nanotubes (Cnts). To check the efficiency of the coating we have considered the carbon black, filler widely used as a conductive covering for screenings. We have considered different percentages of the different fillers, precisely 0.1%, 0.25% and 0.5% wt (% valued in comparison to the weight of the resin). From every mixture 12 samples have been obtained (the size of every sample is 10 mm × 10 mm × 10 mm). Every sample has been subjected to electrical measurements, that have concerned the measurement of current intensity and resistance (so as to allow the evaluation of the enhancement of the conductivity), through the application of different values of voltage. The results have demonstrated that the epoxy matrix loaded with Cnts yields higher values of electrical conductivity than the same matrix loaded with carbon black.

The Eastern men’s basketball team faced off against Southeast Missouri on March 6, in the Nashville Municipal Auditorium, but wasn’t able to move forward in the OVC tournament. SEMO defeated the men’s basketball team 78-68.
The women’s team played on Friday, March 8, and fell against UT Martin 71-69 in the semifinal round. It was one of the most exciting games I covered during my four years at Eastern, and it was also the last Eastern basketball games I’ll cover for The Daily Eastern News or the Warbler. UT Martin ended up winning the OVC Championship and is moving into the NCAA Tournament.
For the full women’s basketball story check out Alex McNamee’s story in The Daily Eastern News. With the basketball season over, baseball and softball are right around the corner, and it will be nice to finally get back outside to cover games.
I covered my final two Eastern home basketball games Saturday, March 2. Both the men and women faced off against Southern Illinois University Edwardsville in Lantz Arena. The men came out of of the game victorious, defeating SIUE 61-46.
The women weren’t able to come away with the victory. Eastern lost 62-70 in overtime.
I’m traveling to Nashville to cover the Ohio Valley Conference Tournament today, so there will be more photos coming soon.
Monday’s women’s basketball game against UT Martin was one of the more exciting games this semester in terms of photography. I can usually come away from a game with a few good reaction photos, but yesterday seemed like a gold mine. It’s always exciting covering a game that keeps you on your toes, and I think I came out of the game with some decent photos. After looking at the photos, it also looked like some lights were replaced in Lantz Arena because the lighting was better than usual. For the full story check out Alex McNamee’s story in the Daily Eastern News here.
The Eastern women’s basketball team fought against Bradley University Monday night but came up one point short in the final seconds losing 66-65 in Lantz Arena.
The Panthers return to the court Nov. 19 in Lantz Arena against San Jose State. For another view of the game check out Zachary White’s blog, and for the full story head over to The Daily Eastern News.
The Eastern softball team split their first home doubleheader against SIU-Edwardsville Wednesday, March 21, 2012, at Williams Field in Charleston, Ill. The games marked the women’s first home games of the season. The first game was a 0-4 loss with both teams scoreless until the ninth inning when SIUE was able to score four runs securing their victory over the Panthers.
Eastern was able to take the win over the Cougars in the following game. The Panthers were able to score two runs in the second inning and another two in the fourth. The final score was 4-1.

Frequently Asked Questions - Staff
- Who is eligible to run in the staff elections?
Any staff member is eligible if they are currently employed with the College, and the period of employment is expected to endure for one or more years.
There are three staff appointments: Administrative, Academic, and Support. Eligibility to run is based on the electoral district of your campus. This year’s electoral districts are:
- Administrative Staff from the North Electoral District;
- Academic Staff from the Metro Electoral District;
- Support Staff from the South Electoral District.
Staff members excluded from eligibility are the President, members of the College Executive Team and Executive Assistants to those positions.
How do I know which staff group I am in?
"The college has made tremendous strides in developing our vision for Nova Scotians in new ways to apply knowledge and skills. My experience on the Board of Governors has been very positive and impressive. It has been an experience that I truly feel many faculty members should have. The Board members are a very diverse group, where you can come away with a better understanding and appreciation of the Nova Scotia Community College, and how it works at that level of operation."
Anna Gillis, Academic Staff, 1999-2002
For the purposes of NSCC Board of Governor elections:
- Academic staff are Faculty Members;
- Administrative staff are members of the Management and Professional Support Group;
- Support Staff are members of the Operational Support Group.
- How do I know which electoral district I am in?
South: Annapolis Valley Campus (Middleton and Lawrencetown), Burridge Campus (Yarmouth), Kingstec Campus (Kentville), Lunenburg Campus (Bridgewater), and Shelburne Campus (Shelburne).

Rudolph Wins Patent Infringement Verdict
A jury has awarded Rudolph Technologies Inc. of Minneapolis approximately $6.8 million in a patent infringement suit against Camtek Ltd. of Migdal Ha’Emeq, Israel. The jury ruled that all models of Camtek’s Falcon inspection system infringe upon Rudolph’s US patent for an “Automated Wafer Defect Inspection System and a Process of Performing Such Inspection,” which covers continuous inspection of wafers using strobing illumination. The technology is used in the inspection tools of Rudolph and its subsidiary, August. The jury also rejected entirely the Israeli company’s argument that Rudolph’s patent is invalid.
- The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems.

Jail deal changes how city will pay
Youngstown could use up to 221 beds at the county jail under this proposal.
By DAVID SKOLNICK
CITY HALL REPORTER
YOUNGSTOWN -- A tentative agreement to resolve the unconstitutional housing issue at the Mahoning County Jail includes significant changes in the way Youngstown pays for its inmates, according to the county sheriff.
The city currently pays 68.84 a day to the county to house inmates at the jail charged or convicted of city ordinances. The city paid less than 50,000 last year to the county, with loud music overwhelmingly the main city ordinance violation. The city is prepared to pay more than twice that amount under the new deal.
The tentative deal calls for the city, effective May 1, to pay the county for meals, about 3 a day, and for "actual medical costs" for up to 71 city inmates not covered under the county's present medical services agreement.
County Sheriff Randall Wellington and county Prosecutor Paul J. Gains interpret the tentative agreement to mean the city won't pay 68.84 a day for any of its first 71 inmates. Youngstown Mayor Jay Williams said his interpretation is the city has to pay that flat fee for any of its first 71 inmates charged with violating city ordinances.
The contract includes language regarding the flat fee for city prisoners in excess of 71 but not for the first 71.
If it chooses, the city could house up to 221 inmates at the county main and misdemeanant jails at one time, effective Aug. 1 or earlier if the facility is fully staffed, according to the proposal.
If more than 71 city inmates are at the jail at one time, Youngstown would pay a flat fee of 68.84 a day to the county for each inmate over that number. That 68.84 flat fee, which could change in the future, includes meals and medical costs.
Between now and May 1, the city has 30 beds guaranteed to be available to its prisoners.
Another major change under the proposal is the city would pay to house inmates at the county jail and the now-closed county misdemeanant jail for not only city ordinance violators but also those charged with state misdemeanor charges. There are other scenarios that also would require the city to pay the daily 68.84 fee.
"This is a significant change" to the current contract, said Wellington regarding the city's paying for those charged with state misdemeanors.
On council agenda
City council will consider an ordinance today to permit the three-member board of control to adopt the three-year tentative agreement regarding the housing of city inmates.
The ordinance would also authorize the board of control -- consisting of Mayor Jay Williams, Law Director Iris Torres Guglucello and Finance Director David Bozanich -- to spend about 125,000 annually to house city prisoners at the Mahoning County Jail and its misdemeanant facility. The ordinance doesn't have a cap on the prisoner cost.
Williams said the tentative agreement would only increase the city's annual payment to the county by an additional 20,000 at best.
County commissioners will consider approving the tentative agreement with the city today. The county plans to resume housing federal inmates at the 68.84 daily fee. The federal government would be permitted to house up to 150 of its inmates with the county. The city could displace the federal inmates with its own as long as it pays the 68.84 daily fee, Williams said.
As for "actual medical costs" of city inmates, Williams said the figure is minimal. He anticipates it would cost the city up to 10 a day for meals and medical. Wellington said he couldn't give an estimate on the medical costs.
Inmates at the county jail won a federal lawsuit two years ago regarding overcrowding. Attorneys for the inmates and a panel of three federal judges must approve the settlement. The proposal is expected to be finalized in a month.
Under the plan, the entire county jail would reopen Aug. 1 and house about 480 inmates. About one-third of the jail has been closed as a result of the lawsuit.
The lawsuit settlement means the county would reopen its misdemeanant jail, that could house another 96 prisoners, also on Aug. 1. That facility stopped housing inmates about two years ago because of a lack of county funding.
On Tuesday, the county reopened a 36-bed pod as part of the tentative deal, Wellington said. The pod is already at full capacity, he said.
Wellington recently hired 10 deputies for the county jail and plans to hire 30 to 40 additional deputies between now and Aug. 1. These are all new hires and won't be taken from deputies at the county courthouse, the juvenile justice center or anywhere else, he said.
The tentative contract gives Wellington the authority to go over the 480-inmate limit for a period of not longer than 24 hours on weekdays or 72 hours on weekends "when arrests are undertaken in a manner | [

Long raged wars have often ended due to the negative repercussions that were being caused by the modern equipment such as bomber aircrafts which damaged a lot of area as well as killed a large number of people as well. As a result of this, due to extreme violence by the bomber planes such as the Spitfire Airplanes, the wars often brought to a ceasefire. Many different types of bomber planes have been used in the World Wars and the Spitfire Airplane has been one of the most important ones. Learn more about it in the article below.
About the Spitfire Airplane
The Spitfire Airplane also known as the Supermarine Spitfire is a British fighter aircraft. It has a single seat and was developed before World War II. Currently, the Supermarine Spitfire is no longer used because of improved technology which has helped in inventing modern fighter planes and jets.
As of 2017 currency evaluations, a Spitfire Airplane has a cost of £774,905. In 1936, this was equivalent to £12,604. The Spitfire is a fighter / interceptor aircraft which has a short range for firing. A total of 20351 aircraft were produced of which only 60 remain as airworthy while the rest are either useless or have been destroyed during the wars. There are different Spitfire Aircrafts that are held all over the world in famous museums because of the significance as well as the important role they played during World War II.
The Spitfire was designed by R. J. Mitchell. He was an aircraft designer who had worked with the company Supermarine during 1930 and 1936. Over the 16 years he spent as an aircraft designer in Supermarine, he designed over 20 different models. Out of these 20 models, the Spitfire and his seaplane designs were considered to be his biggest achievements.
When Mitchell first started to look for a fighter interceptor, he was not much successful because he was able to design an aircraft called Type 224 that had a max speed of 230 miles per hour. This was lower than the specified limit by the Air Ministry that wanted an aircraft at 250 miles per hour. This aircraft was known as the Spitfire and its initial design was not much liked by the company.
However, Mitchell continued his effort and designed a Type 300 aircraft with the collaboration of Rolls Royce to provide for the aircraft engines. This was a much-improved version of the first Spitfire aircraft and work began on its prototype soon. When it was created and went up in the air for the first time, its true capabilities were evaluated and there was an instant order by the Air ministry for more such aircrafts because of the aerodynamics, mechanics, suspension, and attack formations. It was a success for Mitchell who was later awarded “Most Excellent Order of British Empire” also known as the CBE.
History of the Supermarine Spitfire
Before the 2nd World War, Great Britain was already focusing on improving its air and military strengths. This was being done so as to protect Britain and its allies in case there is any war. It’s design and production were first started in 1934 while the first flight took place in 1936. R. J. Mitchell was the designer of this aircraft. Just 4 years after its production, the aircraft was used heavily during World War II by Britain and its allies.
During the Battle of Britain between July to October 1940, the Spitfire was considered as the main aircraft which was used by the Royal Airforce. The Spitfire Airplane was quite successful against the campaigns with the German Nazi Airforce such as the Luftwaffe. There was a higher victory to loss ratio reported for ground combat as well as air combat in the case of the Spitfires. A closer combat was reported between the Spitfire and the Messerschmitt Bf 109E series aircraft of the Germans.
Supermarine Spitfire Roles
After the Battle of Britain, there were different types of statistical evaluations made for the Spitfire which showed that this is one of the most useful aircrafts ever produced. It was replaced by the Hurricane and became the major airplane used by Royal Air Force Fighter Command. Right after the Battle of Britain, the Supermarine Spitfire was used in other campaigns in the European and Pacific region as well.
The pilots used to like this aircraft because of the diversity of the roles that it performed which included the role of an interceptor, fighter-bomber, trainer, and a photoreconnaissance as well. These roles were continued in the 1950s till the Spitfire was used.
The primary users of the Supermarine Spitfire have been Royal Air Force, Royal Canadian Air Force, Free French Air Force, and United States Army Air Forces as well.
The Spitfire was a useful aircraft due to numerous reasons which mainly include the technical abilities of this aircraft. The original airframe aircraft was powered by a | [

Based on the Atari coin-op of the same name, Battlezone for the Atari 2600 is a first-person tank shooter. Your basic objective is to drive around the countryside, shooting enemies while avoiding being shot. Unlike the vector-based arcade game, which used a periscope as part of its control mechanism, this home version of Battlezone is played using a standard joystick.
By the year 1999, all the nations of Earth have banded together in peace (according to this game, at least). Unfortunately, a renegade council of military commanders has disrupted this utopian existence by unleashing a battalion of automated tanks, aerial fighters, flying saucers, and supertanks upon the unsuspecting world. At the helm of an old military tank you found in a museum, it is your job to squelch this rebellion. ~ Brett Alan Weiss, All Game Guide | [

Electronic and optical properties of CeO2 from first principles calculations
First-principles calculations of the electronic structure of CeO2 nanoparticles (NPs) were performed to investigate published experimental data obtained by different spectroscopies. The main features of the valence and conduction bands have been analyzed from the total and partial density of states. Several functionals were applied to interpret and quantify the optical properties, including the dielectric function, extinction coefficient and refractive index. It is found that the on-site hybrid functional B3PW91 modelled most suitably the band gap region of CeO2 NPs and consequently gave a more accurate band gap value. It also agreed very well with the experimental values especially in the visible-ultraviolet optical range. | [

Cost-Benefit Analysis in Business Economics: A Practical Assignment Approach
In the realm of business economics, Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) stands as a pivotal tool for decision-making, and its practical application is crucial for students navigating the complexities of the subject. As an expert guiding students through their assignments, I emphasize the practicality of CBA, urging them to view it not merely as a theoretical concept but as a dynamic approach to help with their business economics assignment real-world problem-solving.
In crafting assignments, students are encouraged to delve into tangible scenarios, applying CBA to assess the feasibility of business ventures, policy implementations, or investment decisions. This hands-on approach instills a deep understanding of the economic implications of choices, fostering a practical mindset essential in today's dynamic business landscape.
The assignment process involves meticulous examination of costs and benefits, considering both quantitative and qualitative factors. Through this lens, students develop critical thinking skills, honing their ability to weigh alternatives and make informed judgments. Furthermore, the emphasis on practical assignments nurtures a holistic understanding of CBA, equipping students with skills applicable beyond academia.
By weaving real-world examples into their assignments, students not only grasp the theoretical underpinnings of CBA but also cultivate a nuanced perspective on its application. As an expert guide, my role is to illuminate the practical relevance of CBA, empowering students to navigate the intricate terrain of business economics with acumen and foresight.
Foundations of Cost-Benefit Analysis: Unraveling the Basics for Business Economics
In the intricate landscape of business economics, one tool stands out as indispensable for decision-making and resource allocation – Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA). As an expert guiding students through the labyrinth of business economics assignments, unraveling the foundations of CBA becomes paramount. This analytical framework serves as a compass for businesses, allowing them to navigate the complexities of financial choices, investment decisions, and policy evaluations.
At its core, Cost-Benefit Analysis is a systematic approach to evaluating the economic efficiency of a decision or project by comparing the costs with the benefits it generates. For students delving into business economics, comprehending the fundamentals of CBA is akin to unlocking a treasure trove of insights that can be applied across diverse sectors.
Understanding the Basics:
At the heart of CBA lies the concept of opportunity cost – the value of the best forgone alternative. Students must grasp the idea that resources are scarce, and every decision comes with trade-offs. CBA necessitates a meticulous examination of both tangible and intangible costs and benefits, ensuring a holistic assessment.
Costs encompass direct expenditures, such as production costs, labor, and materials, as well as indirect costs like the opportunity cost of using resources elsewhere. Conversely, benefits encapsulate revenue generation, cost savings, and the intangible advantages a decision may offer, like improved reputation or customer satisfaction.
Discounting and Time Value of Money:
An expert's perspective on CBA for business economics assignments entails a nuanced understanding of the time value of money. Future costs and benefits are discounted to their present value, recognizing that a dollar today holds more value than a dollar in the future due to factors like inflation and the opportunity to invest.
The application of discounting allows for a fair comparison between costs and benefits occurring at different points in time. This temporal dimension is critical for students to grasp, as it ensures a realistic assessment of a project's long-term viability.
Sensitivity Analysis and Risk Assessment:
In the dynamic realm of business, uncertainty is omnipresent. An expert guiding students in business economics assignments emphasizes the importance of sensitivity analysis. This involves testing the robustness of the CBA by varying key assumptions and parameters. By exploring different scenarios, students learn to identify potential risks and uncertainties, enabling businesses to make informed decisions in the face of ambiguity.
Social and Environmental Considerations:
CBA extends beyond purely financial metrics, incorporating social and environmental dimensions. An expert encourages students to recognize the broader impact of decisions on society and the environment. This holistic approach aligns with contemporary business practices that prioritize sustainability and corporate social responsibility.
Ethical Dimensions of CBA:
Navigating the ethical considerations of CBA is essential for students. An expert perspective underscores the need for a conscientious approach, ensuring that the analysis considers not only the economic efficiency but also the ethical implications of decisions. This ethical lens cultivates responsible decision-making among future business leaders.
Mastering the foundations of Cost-Benefit Analysis is a cornerstone for students venturing into business economics. As an expert guide, instilling a comprehensive understanding of opportunity cost, discounting, sensitivity analysis, and ethical considerations forms the bedrock for fostering adept decision-makers. The application of CBA empowers students to navigate the intricate terrain of business economics assignments with confidence, equipping them to contribute meaningfully | [

Roofing FAQ – (Roofing Definitions)
Q. How can a homeowner recognize when a roof system has problems?
A. All too often, roof system problems are discovered after leaking or other serious damage occurs. Periodic inspections (twice a year) often can uncover cracked, warped or missing shingles, loose seams and deteriorated flashings, excessive surface granules accumulating in the gutters or downspouts, and other visible signs of roof system problems. Indoors, look for cracked paint, discolored plasterboard and peeling wallpaper as signs of damaged roof areas.
Q. What are my options if I decide to re-roof?
A. You have two basic options: you can choose a complete replacement of the roof system, involving a tear-off of your existing roof system, or re-cover the existing roof system, involving only the installation of a new roof system. If you’ve already had one re-cover installed on your original roof system, check with a professional roofing contractor. In many instances, building code requirements allow no more than one roof system re-cover before a complete replacement in required.
Q. My roof leaks. Do I need to have it replaced completely?
A. Not necessarily. Leaks can result from flashings that have come loose or a section of the roof system being damaged. A complete roof system failure, however, generally is irreversible and a result of improper installation or choice of materials, or the roof system installation is inappropriate for the home or bulding.
Q. Can I do the work myself?
A. Most work should not be done by yourself. Professional roofing contractors are trained to safely and efficiently repair or replace roof systems. You can damage your roof system by using improper roofing techniques and severely injure yourself by falling off or through the roof.
Maintenance performed by home and building owners should be confined to inspecting roof systems during fall and spring to check for cracked or curling shingles and cleaning gutters filled with dead leaves and other debris.
Q. Only the underlayment has been installed on my roof and it rained last night. Now, the underlayment is wrinkled. Does it have to be replaced?
A. If the wrinkling isn’t severe enough to affect the shingle installation (i.e., the wrinkling won’t telegraph through the shingles and they won’t appear buckled or wavy once installed), the underlayment probably can remain in place. The effects of wrinkling also will be minimized by using heavier weight shingles.
Q. What is the best asphalt shingle to use on my roof?
A. Asphalt shingle material performance depends on the quality, quantity and compatibility of asphalt fillers, reinforcements and surface granules. There are two kinds of asphalt shingles (based on the type of reinforcement mat used); fiberglass and organic. Fiberglass shingles are more fire- and moisture-resistant than organic shingles. Organic shingles have good wind resistance, high tear strength and can be installed in colder temperatures.
Asphalt shingles should be in compliance with American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards and applicable building codes. Fiberglass shingles should meet ASTM D 3462, “Standard Specification for Asphalt Shingles Made from Glass Felt and Surfaced with Mineral Granules,” and organic shingles should meet ASTM D 225, “Standard Specification for Asphalt Shingles (Organic Felt) and Surfaced with Mineral Granules.”
Consumers also should keep in mind a roofing warranty’s length should not be the primary criterion in the selection of a roofing product or roof system because the warranty does not necessarily provide assurance of satisfactory roof system performance.
Q. Are two layers of 15# underlayment the same as one layer of 30# underlayment?
A. No. Two layers of underlayment are referred to as a “double-layer of underlayment” and there is a 19-inch overlap between layers. One layer of underlayment is called a “single-layer of underlayment” and there is 2 inches of overlap between layers. NRCA recommends a double-layer of underlayment for roof decks having slopes of 3:12 (14 degrees) up to 4:12 (18 degrees).
Q. One of the bids I have received uses staples instead of nails to install my asphalt shingles. Is that okay?
A. NRCA recommends galvanized steel or the equivalent corrosion-resistant roofing nails for asphalt shingle installation.
Q. I already have two single static vents on my roof and my quote suggests installing a ridge vent. Do I really need a ridge vent?
A. NRCA suggests the amount of attic ventilation be balanced between the e | [

Private renters in London spent 40 percent of their income, on average, on rent, according to findings from the 2018/2019 English Housing Survey.
Published today by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government, the survey also finds that London's private renters spent the highest percentage of their wage on rent compared to the rest of the country. Outside London, the average percentage of household income spent on rent was 33 percent.
Private renters in London paid on average £341 a week (£1,364 a month) on rent. This was 71 percent higher than the national average.
The survey also showed the percentage of renters by region paying more than 30 percent of their income on rent – a percentage often used to measure the affordability of property. London was the highest, with 57 percent of private renters paying more than 30 percent of their income on rent, followed by the south east of England, the east of England and the south west of England. The region with the smallest proportion of private renters spending more than 30 percent of their income on rent was the north east, where only 25 percent of renters spent over 30 percent of their income on rent.
In every region except one, private renters were more likely to spend a greater percentage of their household income on rent than homeowners with mortgages or social renters – those living in homes managed by local authorities, housing associations or charities.
According to the survey, spending over 30 percent of your household income on rent “is thought to lead to housing stress, because if households pay much more than this for housing, they could struggle to pay for other bills and necessities.” Statistically, private renters (compared to social renters or those buying a house with a mortgage) were more likely to spend over 30 percent of their income on rent.
It's worth noting that the English Housing Survey was conducted before the coronavirus pandemic, which has disrupted the country's housing and renting market dramatically. The virus has placed many private renters (who are likely to be less affluent, according to the survey) in even more precarious positions, with some now at risk of homelessness. After Rishi Sunak’s mini-budget yesterday, which aided potential house buyers but made no mention of private renters, many are calling on the government to do more.
“A third of private renters were struggling with housing costs even before the pandemic, and the numbers will only have surged since March,” Dan Wilson Craw, deputy director of Generation Rent tells VICE News. “Despite the government’s measures, thousands are unable to get adequate support through the welfare system thanks to caps or eligibility restrictions. These renters are racking up arrears and face homelessness when the eviction ban is lifted next month unless the government commits to ending the rent debt crisis.” | [

Spring is almost here! The birds are chirping, bees are buzzing and life begins to return to outdoor lawns and gardens. As temperatures start to slowly warm up again, it’s important for us lawn and garden lovers to provide our tender love and care to our beloved centipede grass lawns.
When it comes to seasonal centipede grass maintenance, spring lawn care slightly differs from the summer or fall seasons. Temperatures rise and soil conditions change. Centipede grass is just starting to come out of dormancy and turn green again.
Depending on where you may be located, your centipede grass lawn may not have even gone dormant at all! Regardless, this is a time to help your warm season lawn transition into the warmer months.
Our turfgrass experts compile a list of spring lawn care tips to help your centipede grass come out of dormancy and flourish into the spring season ahead.
If you have a centipede grass and want to keep up with spring lawn maintenance, be sure to also check out our Homeowner Maintenance Guides for generic centipede or Santee® Centipede. Each maintenance guide is divided into sections for spring, summer and fall maintenance.
1. Begin Mowing Your Lawn at the Proper Height Again
The timing for which the first mow of the spring for your mature, established centipede grass widely varies depending on the area you live in. Centipede grass can come out of dormancy differently depending on the environment and temperatures your area encounters.
For example, if you live in South Florida, your centipede grass may have never entered dormancy at all during the winter. Many homeowners who live in South Florida will mow their lawn every other week during the winter—oftentimes starting in September and resuming a regular, weekly mowing schedule again in mid-March.
Generally speaking, mid-March is about the time for you to begin your regimen for spring green-up and mowing. It’s important to note that he first mow of the spring shouldn’t take place while your centipede lawn is dormant—wait until it’s actively growing again before mowing and never remove more than a third of the leaf blade or you may risk scalping the lawn. For the first mow of the spring, remove dormant grass leaves to promote new growth by mowing at 2.5 inches in height with a rotary mower that has a sharpened blade.
Keep your centipede between 1.5–2.0 inches in height for the remainder of the spring season. Spring mowing will be the same for Santee Centipede grass.
Lastly, a good tip for spring is to make sure your lawn mower blades are sharpened so that the mower blades neatly slice through the grass in place of ripping them. If the grass blades aren’t cut neatly, the mower is ripping them and opens the grass up to possibility of disease.
Performing regular maintenance on your mower is good practice for the end of the mowing season or before spring takes place.
2. Start Your Lawn Off Right with the Appropriate Spring Fertilizer This Year
With most centipede grass coming out of dormancy, the spring is one of the most important times to use fertilizer. The best fertilizer for centipede grass needs to promote healthy roots and the return of green leaf blades.
Be careful when making your first fertilizer application of the year though—it is common for homeowners to see their grass green up and immediately pull out the fertilizer and lawn mower.
We advise that you typically wait until the last frost has hit. If you fertilize your lawn and another frost hits, your centipede lawn will go right back into dormancy and you’ll have a harder time getting it to green up again. This does more harm than good.
The date of the last frost varies from location to location. In the Florida Panhandle, for example, centipede grass may not go dormant and will reach its full green-up in early February (depending on how cold the winter was).
Even then, you won’t want to apply fertilizer until after Easter once the last frost has passed. Refer to the Farmer’s Almanac to figure out the last frost date for your area in 2022.
Sod University recommends two different options for centipede grass spring fertilization: Lawnifi® Foundation, a slow-release granular option that comes in 25 lb. bags and lasts for three months, and our Lawnifi Spring Fertilizer Box, a liquid fertilizer program that includes three bottles of liquid fertilizer that can be applied monthly with a hose-end sprayer.
Each of the options are great centipede grass fertilizers that cover 5,000 sq. ft. Learn more in Granular vs. Liquid Fertilizers or by clicking the two products listed below.

The challenges facing manufacturers seem to increase with each passing day, and the results of a recent FP Flash Survey demonstrate that workplace mental health can be added to that list. It’s not just that supply chain disruptions, rising costs for everything from energy to toilet paper, worker shortages, and increased turnover have put tremendous pressure on manufacturers in every industry, this pressure is also creating increasing amounts of stress on your employees. What can manufacturing employers take away from this survey, and what can you do about this increasingly challenging problem?
Results of Survey Paint a Challenging Picture
According to the latest FP Flash Survey, employers are seeing increased requests for mental health accommodations requests and are also seeing the impacts of mental health concerns negatively impacting their employee retention efforts. Some of the most interesting results as they relate to the manufacturing industry:
- 41% of manufacturing employers say that mental health challenges have negatively impacted employee retention efforts in the past two years.
- 10% of manufacturers have seen an increase in legal demands and claims related to mental health and wellbeing since the pandemic started.
- 28% of manufacturers have received a work-from-home request based on a claim of anxiety or other mental health issue in the past two years.
- 31% of manufacturing employers have seen an increase in requests for reasonable accommodation relating to mental health and wellbeing during the same timeframe.
In addition, according to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) claims based on Anxiety Disorder and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder have more than doubled over the past 10 years from 7.1% to 16.7% of ADA claims.
What Can You Do About It?
Manufacturers addressing the workplace mental health issues need to walk a fine line between promoting mental health and wellness initiatives and appropriately addressing specific employee needs for workplace mental health accommodations. Manufacturing employers should review the 10 Steps to Mental Health Wellness for Your Employees for guidance on what steps to take. These steps provide a solid foundation for addressing mental issues in the workplace but should be reviewed with your workplace attorney prior to initiating them to avoid creating legal liabilities pursuant to anti-discrimination laws. A brief summary of the steps:
- End the stigma: End the stigma associated with mental health issues by starting workplace conversations in an appropriate manner.
- Gate input: Understand the unique stressor impacting your workplace.
- Determine the landscape: Determine how your company culture supports positive mental health.
- Smooth the path: Eliminate barriers to employees seeking assistance.
- Take stock: Understand your company’s resources available to address mental health issues.
- Promote the resources: Communicate to the entire workforce about the resources and how to access them.
- Train managers on accommodation: Train managers on the interactive accommodation process particularly when dealing with mental health issues.
- Consider work from home: Consider WFH options on a case-by-case basis.
- Stay in your lane: Respect employee privacy and offer resources without inquiring into details.
- Be there: A company is limited into what it can ask an employee about a potential disability, there are ways that an employer can express concern and offer help without running afoul with the law. Again, consulting your workplace attorney can help develop the legal parameters. | [

Mark Lanier Recognized as Texas’ Top Personal Injury Lawyer In Statewide Poll Published in Texas Lawyer Newspaper
HOUSTON – Mark Lanier, founder of Houston’s The Lanier Law Firm, has been recognized in Texas Lawyer newspaper as the state’s top personal injury attorney. Mr. Lanier is included in the “Go-To Guide,” a special publication distributed with the Oct. 8, 2007 issue of Texas Lawyer.
In the “Go-To Guide,” Texas Lawyer chose the top five lawyers in 29 practice areas from a pool of more than 70,000 Texas lawyers. The top five attorneys in each category were honored as “Texas’ Top-Notch Lawyers,” with one attorney per practice area earning the “Go-To” recognition.
This marks the second consecutive time Mr. Lanier has been selected for Texas Lawyer’s listing of the state’s top attorneys. He also was recognized as one of the top five personal injury attorneys in the first “Go-To Guide,” published in 2002.
To compile the list of the state’s top legal practitioners, Texas Lawyer accepted nominations, conducted independent research and interviewed hundreds of lawyers across the state, asking attorneys who they would turn to for representation in a particular practice area.
“It is incredibly humbling to be chosen for this honor,” say Mr. Lanier. ‘With all the great trial lawyers in this state, I am extremely gratified that other lawyers put me at the top of their list.”
In the profile published in the “Go-To Guide,” Mr. Lanier’s early experiences defending companies is credited as a driving force for him moving to the plaintiff’s bar. He decided to make the move after losing his first case, one he thought should have settled. Mr. Lanier says in the profile that if he had won that case, then “the outcome wouldn’t have been right.”
With offices in Houston, New York and Los Angeles, The Lanier Law Firm is committed to addressing client concerns with effective and often innovative solutions. The firm is composed of outstanding trial attorneys with decades of experience handling cases involving pharmaceutical liability, asbestos exposure, business fraud, serious personal injuries, product liability, and toxic exposure.

Bass and his ship were never seen again, and their fate remains an enigma. Franklin succeeded in mapping large areas of coastline, identifying many new botanical specimens and furthering our knowledge of the unforgiving Arctic weather during his first two expeditions. To date his body has not been found, and the exact circumstances of his tragic death remain a mystery. It's meeting the aspirations outlined by its illustrator, Jackie, at the time of its launch: "My hope is that between us we have a book for all ages, a book that reads aloud to delight the ear, with images that dance in the heart.
The pair mapped large swathes of the Australian coast, and Bass identified the body of water between Australia and Tasmania that was later named the Bass Strait in his honor. In Peng led a team of biologists, geologists and archeologists to Lop Nor to conduct new research. Learn about membership optionsor view our freely available titles. Both boasted state-of-the art water distillation systems, auxiliary steam engines and even onboard heating.
Mar 19, 6 Explorers Who Disappeared These famous explorers journeyed to the far reaches of the earth, only to never be seen again. It became clear that the two ships had become hopelessly trapped in the sea ice. Over the years a number of further searches uncovered more trees inscribed with an L, but their disparate locations did little to solve the riddle of the progress and fate of the explorers. Zheng He was elevated to serving as bodyguard and fought alongside Zhu Di as he battled all over China, subduing enemy band after enemy band.

Cortez attacked Tenochtitlan again by ship the following May. If his inscription is to be believed, he made quite a success of his new life. But they didn't know how big it was, and they didn't know how big Africa was, and they knew nothing about the Americas or even the I remember some of our junior high history lessons, but it's really time to refresh.

The public was so intrigued by the mysterious disappearance that numerous rumors were published in the newspapers, inevitably leading to sensationalist stories of the group dying of thirst, being murdered by Aboriginal people, or even of Leichhardt surviving into old age living in the bush.

August #jammed: Reflecting on Grace.
Day 215: Push the right button.
He’s been spinning this tune since the beginning of time.
“Did God really say?”
And even though we know he has already lost, the havoc he can still wreak on our lives is still a very real. There are a few points of hope that we can take away from today’s verse.
- God created him.
“Of all the wild creatures the Eternal God had created…”
God created the serpent. Everything God created lies within His omnipotent control. Satan may be devious, but he can’t ultimately trump God. Remember, we can’t blame him for every bad thing that we do or experience. Our sinful nature carries consequence with it. The little devil can bend our ears, but he can’t move our limbs.
2. He’s crafty, not right.
Satan may be really good at scheming, and have all the pomp and circumstance of a justifiable good idea, but there will always be holes in his plan. When we walk with Christ, we have a way to unravel his trickery. The devil will plant seeds of doubt and pose questions, but there is no wonder in the Truth of God’s Word …or Who He is. “I Am.” now, then and forever. God and His Word remain the same.
We should always double check the voices we hear with the Truth of God’s Word. That’s how Jesus thwart his attempts to tempt Him in the dessert, and that’s how we will be able to bust him in is tracks. God knows what he’s up to, and that’s why Jesus left the throne for earth …died on a cross …and rose again. There is no-one greater, more powerful, more just and more loving than our God.
Father, Praise You for Your omnipotent hand on Your people. Thank You for Jesus’ death, and the devil’s imminent defeat. Forgive us for considering his lies, and help us to decipher them. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
Get the conversation started by commenting below, and let’s encourage one another as we face life in 2017 armed with grace!

Yesterday, the sun was out for a time in the early afternoon. I was out cutting grass, and it was hot. Temps were in the 80s, and it was humid. It felt like late summer. There were a few showers during the mid-late afternoon. Then there were some scattered showers and storms last night.
A handful of showers made it to the Southside, but the bulk of the rain was north of the metro. This was ahead of a cold front that is now slowly sinking to the south.
While we will be cooler today, it won’t be a refreshing cool down. High temps will be in the mid-upper 70s, but the dew points will stay in the 60s to near 70.
We’ll have a lot of clouds with some peeks of sun at times. There will be some stray showers or sprinkles during the morning, but we’ll have some scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms this afternoon. I have the chance for rain at 30%.
We’ll have a repeat for Thursday and Friday. Then on Saturday things will change a bit. An offshore area of low pressure looks to move northward Friday into Saturday. The models have it offshore but close enough to produce a higher chance of rain for our region.
They then have that the low drifting northeast and farther offshore on Sunday. So we dry out by that point with only some isolated showers. High temps will stay in the 70s through the weekend.
That feature that I am talking about is a weak disturbance. It has a low chance of becoming a tropical system in a few days. However, it will interact with the stalling out cool front. So that will probably inhibit it from becoming fully tropical. The jet stream is farther north than usual for this time of year. So that is allowing for these features to move slowly.
