How to Fertilize Lawns in 2023
What is Fertilizer and Why is it Important?
Fertilizer is a natural or synthetic material that is used to add essential nutrients to the soil in order to help plants grow and stay healthy. Fertilizing your lawn is an important part of lawn care that helps ensure your lawn remains lush, green and healthy. Without regular fertilization, a lawn will eventually become thin and weak, making it prone to weeds, disease and other problems.
Types of Fertilizers
When it comes to fertilizers, there are many different types to choose from. Depending on the type of grass you have, the climate you live in and the type of soil you have, you may need to use different types of fertilizers. Generally speaking, the most common types of fertilizers are organic, slow-release, and liquid.
Organic fertilizers are made from natural materials such as manure, compost, and ground up plant matter. They provide essential nutrients to the soil and help promote healthy plant growth. Organic fertilizers are generally more expensive than other types of fertilizers, but they are more environmentally friendly.
Slow-release fertilizers are made from synthetic materials that release nutrients slowly into the soil over time. This helps ensure that your lawn gets the nutrients it needs over a longer period of time. Slow-release fertilizers are generally more expensive than organic fertilizers, but they provide a more consistent and reliable source of nutrients for your lawn.
Liquid fertilizers are quickly absorbed by the soil and provide instant nutrients to your lawn. They are usually less expensive than other types of fertilizers and are easy to apply. However, they do not last as long as slow-release fertilizers, so you may need to apply them more often.
When to Fertilize
The best time to fertilize your lawn is in the late spring or early summer, when your grass is actively growing. This will give your lawn the best chance to absorb the nutrients and make the most of the fertilizer. It is important to follow the directions on the fertilizer package to ensure you use the proper amount. | [

“The benefits of BM Tone Up Gold for Cats is far better than said. The product is a mix of scientifically proven ingredients – helps at supporting normal and solid stools in cats. Check here up!”
Feliway pheromone spray contains the synthetic analogue of the facial pheromones from cats. These facial pheromones are a mode of controlling the cat’s behavior under stress and in marking its area and things. It is these pheromones that help the cats make its surroundings familiar. The unknown places, new people, and things are all cause for stress. It is also difficult to keep the felines calm when going for vet’s visits, in a household with many cats, traveling and the newer environment.
What does Feliway pheromone spray contain?
The Feliway pheromone spray is made with 10% synthetic analogue of the feline facial pheromones and 90% ethanol. The formula is a copy of the facial pheromones secreted by the facial glands in cats. These pheromones confirm the surfaces or places it is applied as the cat’s territory.
Feliway pheromone spray is available in bottles of two sizes, a 20 ml bottle, and a bigger 219 ml professional sized bottle.
Benefits of Feliway pheromone spray
Feliway pheromone spray, when sprayed on the surfaces and objects that the cats frequent most and like most, will stop them from urine mark it. Urine marking is spraying a little of its urine on its favorites to make it its territory. By spraying the Feliway on those things will make them familiar with the cats and they stop urine marking. It also makes a sense of familiarity especially in a new home, place or in a vehicle.
Feliway Pheromone Spray Usage instructions
Feliway pheromone spray is not to spray on to the cats but on to the surfaces and objects. Keep the bottle upright and at a distance of 4-8 inches away from the intended surface and spray directly. Repeat the spraying daily until the cat start facial marking or by rubbing its face to the surfaces. Maintenance dose is applied every week after that.
The Feliway pheromone spray makes the cats calm and the tendency to scratch and urine marking will be reduced slowly. Some cats show the immediate response to this and some may take a while. Continue applying Feliway pheromone spray until the cats start facial marking everything instead of urine marking.
In a house with many cats the Feliway pheromone spray must be sprayed 2-3 times a day. For elderly cats the use of this Feliway spray must be continued for 45 days and then once in 2-3 days.
On the objects, the use of Feliway pheromone spray should be once a day. In the marked areas, it can be as recommended.
To stop scratching, spray the objects and areas once a day until the cats start doing facial marking. Since scratching is a way of their expressing their nervousness, the Feliway spray stops the urge to scratch and when the pheromone like compounds make the area familiar to them.
- Do not clean the marked areas and sites with harsh chemicals like bleach and likes. Cleaning with these chemicals will only force the cats to urine mark it again.
- For familiarizing the cats to its new places or vehicle have a generous spray in the place where the cat will be during the travel, at least 20 minutes prior to its entry. For boarding spray at all 4 corners of the cattery accommodation and in the car 3-4 sprays where it is going to sit.
- Always shake the bottle well before every use.
- The liquid inside the bottle is inflammable so keep it away from heat and fire.

Seasonal fashion seems like a jargon term, but in reality, it could not be more straightforward than it already is. Seasonal fashion describes what is famous for the respective seasons: winter, summer, fall, or spring. And what you should be wearing in them.
And in this blog, we will talk about the 5 reasons why seasonal fashion is a must. Although in our opinion there are a lot of reasons due to which fashion of every season has their very own place. But we have shortlisted the 5 most important ones as we plan on convincing you about this.
As seasonal fashion not only forces you to change and upgrade your look constantly to keep your fashion game on point. But it is also a breath of fresh air that keeps your personality lively and approachable at all times. So without any further ado, here are our 5 reasons why seasonal fashion is a must according to us.
Why do we wear a coat in winter? Or opt for a loose t-shirt and shorts look during the summer months? They all have very valid reasons backing them like we feel cold and to cover us up we wear a coat in winter. Similarly, we feel warm and to feel comfortable we opt for the short clothes look in the summer.
Just like that, we believe seasonal fashion should be followed by one, and all also have their very credible reasons. They all serve a purpose and should be celebrated and appreciated. And this is why the following are the reasons we believe contribute to us having such strong opinions on them:
This just might very well be the sole reason why seasonal fashion should be a must for one and all. Because all the 4 different seasons of spring, summer, fall, and winter have their own characteristics. That makes them unique and seasonal fashion is the only thing that not only highlights their characteristics but celebrates them.
For example, it is the seasonal fashion that tells us when to buy the jumper. Or opt for that heavy detailed work wedding season attire because the season is upon us. This is why we believe they are a must.
Why is summer season summer and winter season winter? Don’t know? Well, don’t worry because we thoroughly believe that it is fashion and the clothing line these seasons possess that makes it distinguishable for us. And this is also why we believe that seasonal fashion is a must for any and everyone.
They not only draw a prominent line in distinguishing different seasons but also have their own charm. As they offer clothes that are not only aesthetically pleasing for their respective seasons. But also have a purpose for their existence in the physical world.
We believe that there is nothing worse in this world than being boring and monotonous. And that is exactly what life will be if seasonal fashion does not exist in it. As summer is defined by the exquisite lawn and cotton fabric collection, whereas winter is the time when velvet is the fabric of choice.
Not only are these specific fabric seasonal comfort providers due to their specific making procedures. But their look with the surroundings of the season is also always on point.
When you change your looks with the seasons, then you are definitely a lot more pleasing to the eye. People give you compliments and are impressed to even inspired by your style, and that directly reflects in a seasonal fashion. This is why they are one of our reason for declaring them a must. As it gives you the power to be the best version of yourself.
This reason is a direct consequence of getting compliments. As when people praise you, then you start to feel better about yourself. And when you do that, then you put even more effort into your dressing. Which results in you bringing out the fashionista within you. Which is why this is another reason why we feel seasonal fashion is a must for everyone involved.
Now that we have discussed what seasonal fashion is and their reasons for why they are a must for one and all. What we would now like to focus on are their benefits, and the following are them according to us:
Lastly, after going through all the necessary information regarding seasonal fashion, what we want to point your attention to are the ways you can achieve them. And the following are the three most effortless and most convenient ways you can achieve seasonal fashion, according to us.
Al Karim is the single best fashion store in Pakistan because they have all of Pakistan’s finest brands listed on their website. This is why whatever the season, maybe they are the one place who can always help you achieve your look for any and every season.
There are a lot of fashion influencers, and most of them have excellent taste in fashion, which is why they have amassed the following that they enjoy. So listening and following their tips and tricks are for sure to help you achieve seasonal fashion.
The Pakistani fashion industry is richly talented and is admired around the world. So following brands like Mushq, Zainab Chottani, ELAN, and many more are guaranteed to provide you with all the seasonal fashion | [

Every spring the Society of Illustrators hosts the MoCCA Arts Festival in NYC. I’ve been going for several years now and always come home with a wonderful selection of hand-made comics, mass published graphic novels, and original prints. It’s one of the largest smallest comics-focused arts show in the city; definitely worth checking out next year if you missed it.
This year’s was different from previous years because the venue was moved from the Armory on the east side to a multi-story gallery space on the west side in Chelsea. I didn’t like the layout or security but it was kind of a fancy pants building.
More importantly, at MoCCA Fest I bought quite a few wonderful and beautiful things from some wonderful and talented artists.
- Intergalactic Desk Calendar by Michele Rosenthal (see it in action)
- Invincible Summer 2015 Calendar by Nicole J. Georges
- Tomboy by Liz Prince
- Robert Moses: The Master Builder of New York City by Pierre Christin and Olivier Balez
- Pun Greeting Cards from Ana Carmichael
- Taco Greeting Card from Cuddles and Rage (Liz & Jimmy Reed)
- Set of Cards from Instant Rabbit (Boyeon Choi, Hye Jin Chung, and Hyunyoung Kim)
- Hockey comic by Molly Brooks | [

Heathrow is one of the world’s busiest airports. Operating at almost full capacity it is managing more than 470,000 flight movements per year.
Expanding this facility is a major undertaking and our technologies are helping to minimise the disruption with VR audio simulations and advanced project planning.
To cope with increasing demand from a growing customer base and the next generation of aircraft the new runway is expected to raise traffic to 740,000 flight movements per year, a throughput of some 130 million passengers.
Before we get to work on those numbers there are the complexities of making this happen: politics, planning, project management, public consultations, compulsory purchases, river diversions, noise and air quality impacts. Getting this project off the ground will be an impressive achievement.
We began in 2012 with a range of environmental consultancy work, including supporting Heathrow’s proposal to the Airports Commission. While this was important work, in many ways we were just taxiing for the take-off.
The scale and complexities of the project are exciting, challenging and daunting in equal measure. To be an integral player in one of the UK’s largest ever infrastructure projects is something we’re very proud of.
We are working with Heathrow to bring in innovative auralisation and visualisation tools. Technologies we have developed like our Listenin software can be used to inform the impact assessment and support the consultation and engagement exercises, conducting noise modelling through an immersive virtual reality (VR) system. This portable VR system can show stakeholders what a new development, such as an airport or windfarm, will sound like rather than relying on their understanding of decibel figures. The ambition of this work is to reduce the number of people significantly affected by noise.
Public greenspace will surround the airport, reducing flood risk, improving air quality, protecting biodiversity and creating enjoyable experiences for the community.
Five connecting railway lines and a terminal expansion will seamlessly accommodate 194 destinations served. We are proud to lead the way on these endeavours with a management role on the Integrated Design Team, alongside six other global consultants.
The Heathrow expansion is expected to bring £211 billion in economic benefit to Britain.
“It is a unique experience working closely with so many prominent consultancies as one collaborative organisation” said Alanna Marsh, associate director of infrastructure.
Wood already leads on five key parts of this mega project:
1. Ready for take-off – as the first construction activity on site, our engineering surveys will assess more than 1,000 individual locations.
2. Cruising altitude – our sustainability and environmental impact assessments will study impacts on noise, air quality, biodiversity and water.
3. The final approach – our landscape design will create new green spaces to benefit both the environment and local stakeholders.
4. Preparing to land – the river and flood engineering, and airfield drainage will necessitate moving major watercourses and creation of new flood plains.
5. Taxiing for arrival – our consultation services will provide the non-statutory and statutory consultation activity, likely to be the UK’s biggest consultation exercise.

Saudi Arabian based companies are spending many millions of dollars a year on import of drilling mud additives to meet the drilling industry demand. To cut the imported materials, locally available materials are preferable. Out of many drilling fluid additives, a single locally available additive such as fluid loss can save millions of dollars a year. The cost and locally available raw material justify the development of drilling fluid additives in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. In other aspect, local development provides many benefits to the Kingdom including industrial growth, technology ownership and new job opportunities. Okra (Hibiscus esculents) is widely used as a thickener and viscosifier in medical and food industries due to its low cost, availability, longer shelf life, and high thermal tolerance. In addition to that, it is environment friendly and available in abundance locally in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The composition of Okra powder was diagnosed by X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The thermal stability of Okra was tested using thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA). The Okra powder was mixed in various concentrations such as (1, 2 and 3) grams in 350ml of water based drilling fluid (WBDF). The performance of Okra contained drilling fluids was compared with starch-based drilling fluid. The addition of Okra reduced fluid loss in different proportions at different concentrations. For instance, drilling fluid with 3g Okra concentration had 42% lower fluid loss as compared to the base fluid. The cake thickness was reduced upon the addition of Okra. The low fluid loss and thin filter cake make Okra a useful solution as a fluid loss controller in WBDFs. The addition of Okra powder also increased the viscosity and gel strength of the WBDFs. TGA analysis of Okra powder showed that it has strong thermal stability as compared to starch. Overall, the experimental results suggest that Okra mixed drilling fluids can be used as an alternate solution to starch mixed drilling fluids. | [

The European Space Agency (ESA) plans to launch several LIDAR systems in space within the next five years (ADM-Aeolus, EarthCare, Bepi-Colombo). The stated aims of these missions are detailed earth atmosphere observations for improved climatology and meteorology predictions as well as planetary surveying. The suited LIDAR systems comprise high energy pulsed lasers in the IR and UV spectral range. Under the vacuum conditions of space especially the outgassing of organic materials is inevitable, in spite of using only materials with low outgassing rates (total mass loss (TML) < 1%, collected volatile condensable material (CVCM) < 0.1%). The interaction of intense laser radiation with volatized material’s constituents gives rise to a high risk of deposit formation on the optics and consequently to a drastically reduced lifetime.
Space conditions were simulated using an oilfree pumped vacuum chamber with a base pressure better than 10-6 mbar. Coated and uncoated fused silica windows (diameter 1”, thickness: 3mm) served as optical test specimens. The total amount of the contamination material was in the range of 0.3 – 0.5 g, coated on 5 x 5 cm2 aluminium sheets. Heating ribbons are mounted on the outside of the chamber for indirect heating of the contamination samples. Before each new run the chamber was baked out at 165°C for 24 hours to prevent cross-contamination between consecutive tests. Prior to each new material test blank tests without any contamination sample were performed, using the same temperature, pressure and laser parameters. In case of detecting any fluorescence or depositions on the windows, the bake-out was repeated until the blank test was successful. In case of deposit formation under UV irradiation, the organic compounds in the deposit are excited to fluorescence. The fluorescent deposits were recorded in-situ and online by a high sensitive electron multiplying CCD (EM-CCD) with a Peltier-cooled sensor (-20°C) and two pre-amplifiers (Andor, Luca DL-6588M-TIL). The signal to noise ratio is very high. The quantum efficiency reaches 50% in the 400 nm - 700 nm wavelength range. After each test the surface structure and thickness of the deposits was analyzed by white light interference microscopy. By comparison of the surface contour maps with the EM-CCD fluorescence images a very good correlation between deposit thickness and fluorescence intensity was found. The total amount of deposit in dependence of laser exposure time was estimated in the following way from the fluorescence pictures: the gray scale values in a circular area at the beam position were integrated and recorded online. The diameter of the integration circle was chosen five times larger than the beam diameter.
DYNAMIC OF DEPOSIT FORMATION
The evaluation of in-situ recorded fluorescence images offers the possibility to gain insight into the dynamic of deposit growth. Fig. 2a shows a Nomarski micrograph of a typical deposit grown on an uncoated fused silica optic after a test with a polyurethane based contaminant. The irradiation parameters were the following: laser fluence: 0.4 J/cm2, wavelength: 355 nm, pulse width: 3ns, repetition rate: 100 Hz, shots: 10 Mio. The beam profile of the laser is Gaussian. The contaminant temperature was 40°C. Fig. 2b shows the linescan of the surface profile of the deposit. The crater or doughnut like structure is very typical for laser induced deposits at high fluences. Fig 3. shows a series of fluorescence pictures, taken at the onset of a deposition process. By comparison of the surface profile of the deposit after the test with the corresponding fluorescence picture a calibration of the fluorescence intensity to deposit thickness was performed. At the beginning a steady growth of the deposit is observed with a pancake-like structure. Then a competing process of deposit removal starts at the center of the deposit, i.e. the region of highest laser intensity. After this the removal of material dominates and the “doughnut” structure develops with an increasing central hole. The removal process is probably caused by increasing absorption and thus increasing temperature with rising deposit thickness. Potentially the absorption is further enhanced by material decomposition and formation of carbon rich residues. We found in our tests that the transition from “pancake” to “doughnut” growth occurred earlier when applying higher laser fluences. In case of very low fluences (< 0.1 J/cm2) “pancake” growth dominates for most contaminant materials. The size of the central hole in the doughnut like deposits also increases with increasing laser fluence (Fig.4). From a comparison of deposit surface profiles with the corresponding beam profiles (1/e2 beam diameter 360 µm) we estimated the threshold value above which no deposit occurs in the center of the beam to | [

Mumbai, March 5 (Calcutta Tube) Bollywood filmmaker Vipul Shah, who was all set to shoot a romantic number with the lead pair Akshay Kumar and Aishwarya Rai in Manali, is upset after cancelling the shoot due to sudden snowfall there.
‘Who would have thought there would be snow in Manali in February? It has never happened before,’ Shah told IANS.
‘We had planned the whole song schedule for a time when we were sure there would be no inclement weather. When we got to know there was heavy snowfall, we were stunned. There was no way we could shoot.
‘We shot one 1970s-style romantic number – a solo with Shreya Ghosal. Now we wanted to shoot a song about a couple romancing in winter like Rajesh Khanna and Mumtaz in the song ‘Karvaten badalte rahe’ in ‘Aap Ki Kasam’ in Manali,’ he added.
Shah now needs to find alternative dates for the Manali song but it doesn’t seem easy considering how busy Aishwarya and Akshay are.
Rather than delay the release of the film further, Shah may drop the song. | [

In the era of bolt-action military rifles, several nations employed the.22-rimfire variations of their military rifles for basic marksmanship training. But, as all major military forces around the world adopted assault rifles and/or battle rifles, the.22-rimfire training versions of these new service rifles failed to appear, although sometimes.22 caliber conversion kits were issued for training.
Designed in the former German Democratic Republic, the Kleinkaliber-Maschinenpistole Modell 69 or KKMPi-69 was certainly the most widely issued.22-rimfire training rifle in the Cold War era. The KKMPi-69 has not only a similar appearance, but more importantly almost the exact firing and handling characteristic of full-size AK-47/AKM assault rifles. The KKMPi-69 was designed for basic military firearms training and likely also for use as a training rifle with the political youth organizations.
There exist more than a few of the.22-rimfire rifles that have an external appearance similar to the Avtomat Kalashnikova. However, from a technical viewpoint the KKMPi-69 remains a technical curiosity: a selective-fire rimfire rifle that is externally and internally similar to the AKM assault rifle. The KKMPi-69 is certainly not the only selective-fire.22-rimfire caliber firearm ever developed, but certainly the only design issued in quantity for any major military organization.
The construction generally resembles the AKM design, but due to the different caliber and a blowback action, many details are completely different.
The receiver is similar to the AKM receiver body; in fact it appears to be modified from the AKM receiver blank. However, the barrel extension includes neither a bolt-locking recess nor provision for mounting the gas piston tube. The rear end of the barrel extension forms a feed ramp. The receiver top cover is similar to the AK-family but not as tall as the AK’s top cover.
The barrel length is 17.13 inches (435 mm) measured from the muzzle to the bolt face. The bore has six grooves with a right-hand twist. The barrel profile is light and the barrel is mated on the barrel extension by means of thread.
The bolt has a configuration similar to the AK slide. A partially machined casting, finishing of non-essential surfaces is quite crude. The bolt has a claw-type extractor and a floating firing pin. The KKMPi-69 fires from a closed bolt and the cyclic rate of fire is the 700 rpm with standard velocity ammunition. Original East-German ammunition for this rifle was called 5.6 mm M70 and had a muzzle velocity of 1,017 fps (310 mps) when fired from the KKMPi-69’s barrel.
The KKMPi-69 fires from a closed bolt and the trigger mechanism is much that of the AKM/AK-74 series. The trigger mechanism includes an anti-bounce device, (sometimes incorrectly referred to as a “rate-reducer”) just like that used with the AKM. The trigger mechanism components including the hammer and springs were lightened to meet the.22 Long Rifle cartridge energy and primer hardness of the.22 rimfire cases.
The single-column, box-type, detachable magazine has a capacity of 15 rounds. The.22-rimfire magazine is built inside the body of a 7.62×39 mm caliber 30-round magazine, which mounts in the usual way underneath the receiver. The KKMPi-69 magazine is easy to fill and reliable, too, if compared with various commercial high-capacity magazines produced for the Ruger 10/22.
The injection-molded plastic shoulder stock and pistol grip are exactly those of the MPi-KM, or the East-German variation of the AKM. East German AKM butt stocks can be easily distinguished by their stippled external surfaces. The plastic forearm was also taken from the East German AKM/AK-74, but fitted with a diminutive plastic handguard specially designed for the KKMPi-69. The synthetic material used with DDR-made Kalashnikovs is brown colored, hard and slippery; not necessarily an improvement over the Soviet laminated furniture. Like the other East German AK-type rifles the KKMPi-69 shoulder stock does not include a storage compartment for a cleaning kit or a cleaning rod, but pull-through type cleaning kits were issued as packed in sheet steel boxes or cloth-rolls.
The iron sights are similar to the Kalashnikov assault rifles, but scaled down. The rear sight is an open U-notch mounted on a sliding tangent-type base, and it is adjustable for elevation only, from 25 meters to 100 meters with 25-meter increments. The KKMPi-69 also has folding night sights, similar to ones used with some 7.62x39mm | [

After an examination of lessons to be learned from Superman, it’s only fair during this time of Batman v. Superman hype to spend some time with the Dark Knight of Gotham. Interpretations of Batman seem to varying much more wildly than Superman. After all, this is a character that has both the endearing camp of the Adam West series, pioneer of the grimdark era of comics The Dark Knight Returns, and the fourth wall breaking lunacy of Batman: The Brave and the Bold as equally recognizable and significant eras of the franchise.
With that in mind, instead we’ll be looking at five quotes from various comics that contain helpful wisdom for you to take down the metaphorical homicidal clowns in your own life. There are many, many more lessons to be learned from the avenger of the night, but that could probably be a book in itself.
“Sometimes only madness that makes us what we are.”—Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth
Batman doesn’t temper his compulsion to dress in black and beat criminals to a pulp with his bare fists, and Gotham is (arguably) a better place for it. To embrace your own ‘madness’ is to embrace what makes you unique, and therefore more true to yourself. When you accept yourself, wacky quirks and all, you are freed from the pressure to conform. Happier people draw in friends like an amigo magnet. Your madness is your freedom.
“When I’d finally mastered my fear, I went out to learn how to be strong enough to face it. To gaze into it and accept it for what it was … without flinching.”—Batman, Secret Origins of the JLA
Be like Batman: Take fear head on, take what worries you head on, and realize it was never dangerous to begin with. We inflate our fears within our minds and amplify the stress we carry. When you confront your fears, you often discover they were either not as dangerous as imagined or highly unlikely to actually happen. So go ahead, accept the ‘danger’ of rejection and ask that boy/girl you crush on out. Would you disappoint Batman? I didn’t think so.
“It’s a good tonic, altruism. Nothing helps one put problems in perspective like allegiance to a higher cause.”—Gotham Knights
To focus on our worries and fears is to think inward. Those thoughts dilute quickly however when we shift our thoughts outward by thinking of the problems and struggles of others. After all, volunteering has been linked to higher levels of happiness and wellbeing. You can start small with a focus on altruism. Start with at least one good deed per day and hunting for volunteering opportunities near you. You’ll be surprised how fast things start to turn around.
“Sometimes people influence you not so much by what they mean to you as by what you to mean to them.”—Gotham Knights
Batman knows he is a symbol who influences people on all sides of the moral spectrum, from those who admire him to those who fear him. If you find yourself in a position of admiration, take it seriously. Knowing that someone else looks up to you or considers you a role model is an effective motivator to better yourself as a person. There are higher stakes to your successes and failures, the glow of your admirer’s eyes when you triumph and the stinging disappointment of letting them down. Act accordingly.
“No miracles. No mercy. No redemption. No Heaven. No Hell. No higher power. Just life. Just … us.”—Batman: Absolution
Gotham City and the DC Universe as a whole is a mysterious, dangerous place, fraught with psychopaths, monsters, evil geniuses, galactic conquerors, and thieves clad in polka dot unitards. Batman lives the peril and mayhem every day, yet he still stands strong and fights for what is good in his world. This world, our environment, our societies, our relationships, and our own selves are all we had. All of these things are fleeting. They can be destroyed or taken easily. This may sound nihilistic, but it actually highlights the value of the things we have. Fight to keep them. Fight to improve them. Fight to protect them. Fight to perfect them.
There are, of course, many, many lessons to be learned from almost any one of Batman’s many incarnations. Hell, even Batman and Robin teaches us a valuable lesson: How not to make a Batman movie. Take some time to revisit your favorite comic, movie, or TV episode of our erstwhile Dark Knight and see how you can apply the genius wisdom of The World’s Greatest Detective to your own life. | [

Delhi Police has registered more than 100 First Information Reports (FIR) and arrested six people so far for their alleged involvement in putting up ‘derogatory posters’ against Prime Minister Narendra Modi across the national capital.
This comes after objectionable posters including those with derogatory remarks against the Prime Minister had appeared across Delhi.
According to the allegations, some of the posters that had come up in parts of the national capital had the caption, “Modi Hatao Desh Bachao”.
The Special Commissioner of Police in Delhi was quoted by ANI as saying that the Delhi Police had registered over 100 FIRs, while six people had been arrested in connection with the matter. They had allegedly put up the objectionable posters including those against Prime Minister Narendra Modi across Delhi.
However, Delhi Police did not mention about the printing press or the publisher of the posters. They said that the probing team is on it and an investigation into the matter has already been launched.
Meanwhile, Delhi Police said that the FIRs have been registered in different parts of the city under the sections of the Printing Press Act and Defacement of Property Act.
Moreover, highlighting the possibility of Aam Aadmi Party’s (AAP) involvement in the matter, the Delhi Police Special CP mentioned that officials had intercepted a van as soon as it left the AAP office and recovered a few posters from there, adding that arrests were also made.
Further probe into the matter has been initiated by the Delhi Police, he mentioned.
Last year, the BJP held a nationwide protest against the "derogatory" remarks made by Pakistani foreign minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari against Prime Minister Narendra Modi that had sparked outrage across the country.
"The protests will be held in all the state capitals across the country. BJP karyakartas will burn the effigy of Pakistan and Pakistani Foreign Minister and will strongly condemn the shameful statement of Pakistani Foreign Minister," BJP had said in a statement. | [

STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING PROGRAMS DO NOT IMPROVE DYNAMIC PERFORMANCES IN FOOTBALL PLAYERS
Miller, T. A., White, E. D., Kinley, K. A., Clark, M. J., & Congleton, J. J. (1999). Changes in performance following long-term resistance training in division 1A collegiate football players. Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise, 31(5), Supplement abstract 1467.
This study analyzed performance changes in the squat, 20-yard shuttle run, 40-yard dash, bench press, vertical jump, and power clean in collegiate football players who had experienced a long-term, periodized strength and conditioning program at Texas A&M University. Players from 1993-1998 (N = 261) were tested twice per year. Ss were assigned to groups based on playing position: 1) defensive backs, running backs, and wide receivers; 2) kickers, linebackers, tight ends, quarterbacks, and specialists; and 3) linemen. Relationships between performance changes and training time, body fat, and body weight were determined.
Body fat had a significant negative association with performance in all six activities for all groups. Neither training time nor body weight was related to 20-yard shuttle running or the 40-yard dash but both were related positively to the bench press and power clean. Body weight was significantly related to squatting performance. Results in the bench press, power clean, squat, 20-yard shuttle run, and 40-yard dash were consistent across all groups. For vertical jump, time showed a slight positive association only for group 1. Body weight had a positive effect on all three groups, being strongest in group 1 and weaker for the other two groups.
A strength and conditioning program was related to performance changes in strength and conditioning activities. However, there was little to no association between program training and the dynamic performance activities of vertical jumping, 20-yard shuttle run, and 40-yard dash, they being activities that might be transferred to game situations.
Implication. Strength and conditioning programs for football players make them better strength and conditioning trainers. There is little evidence of transfer of training effects to dynamic performances that are likely to be more associated with football playing performance. Increased body fat appears to hinder performances.

Researchers took a big step toward that future by developing a new tool that can design much more complex DNA robots and nanodevices than were ever possible before in a fraction of the time.
Someday, scientists believe, tiny DNA-based robots and other nanodevices will deliver medicine inside our bodies, detect the presence of deadly pathogens, and help manufacture increasingly smaller electronics.
Researchers from The Ohio State University – led by former engineering doctoral student Chao-Min Huang – unveiled new software they call MagicDNA. In a paper published on April 19, 2021, in the journal Nature Materials.
The software helps researchers design ways to take tiny strands of DNA and combine them into complex structures with parts like rotors and hinges that can move and complete a variety of tasks, including drug delivery.
The software has a variety of advantages that will help scientists design better, more helpful nanodevices and – researchers hope – shorten the time before they are in everyday use.
One advantage is that it allows researchers to carry out the entire design truly in 3D. Earlier design tools only allowed creation in 2D, forcing researchers to map their creations into 3D. That meant designers couldn’t make their devices too complex.
The software also allows designers to build DNA structures “bottom up” or “top down.”
In “bottom up” design, researchers take individual strands of DNA and decide how to organize them into the structure they want, which allows fine control over local device structure and properties.
But they can also take a “top down” approach where they decide how their overall device needs to be shaped geometrically and then automate how the DNA strands are put together. | [

Biomedical research laboratories are a critical gateway between scientific discovery and real-world clinical application. As such, biomedical researchers require tools that produce high-quality data with enhanced efficiency. When it comes to imaging tools, conventional microscopes are often time-consuming, prone to user subjectivity and error, and place users at risk of ergonomic-related strain and injury. Additionally, researchers often require separate and complex software to process and analyze the captured images, which is not
practical for the demands of today’s laboratory.
The Lionheart LX Automated Microscope (Figure 1) from BioTek Instruments integrates automaticdigital image acquisition and processing with data analysis software to simplify microscopy workflow and enable quantitative microscopy. By doing so, researchers can translate findings into the realm of practical therapeutics that can improve patient lives. The ocular-free hardware design eases ergonomic discomfort so that users can focus on the task at hand without distraction. The compact Lionheart LX offers high contrast brightfield, color brightfield, and fluorescence imaging in four channels with more than 20 available and easily changeable filter/LED cubes, along with up to 100x air and oil immersion magnification. Users can automatically image microplates, slides, cell culture dishes, and flasks.
Gen5 Microplate Reader and Imager Software controls Lionheart LX, and together they enable Augmented Microscopy for fully automated image capture, processing, and analysis. Automated features include autofocus, auto exposure, and auto-LED intensity. Automated image pre-processing optimizes images for downstream analysis, from cell counting to characterization of subcellular details. Gen5 software offers advanced image analysis including z-stacking, z-projection, montage collection, stitching, and more.
Lionheart LX is suited for a broad range of applications including histology, immunofluorescence, RNA and DNA fluorescence in-situ hybridization, and a wide range of endpoint cell imaging assays, including autophagy analysis (Figure 2). For added convenience, a quick analyze feature provides instant cell count and confluence measurements from the live camera feed; quickly finding the region of interest and displaying counts onscreen without needing to capture the image. The Lionheart LX Automated Microscope is intended for research use only. | [

Like you, this SUV has nothing to prove
The perfect SUV for real life
You can’t always predict what’s next, but who’d want to?
So Holden designed an SUV that’s built to have your back. Like luxury leather–appointed seats you can sink into in style but are also easy to clean. Or a panoramic glass sunroof to sunbathe like a boss and top up your vitamin D after a day in the office. And that’s just for starters.
Design for the promotion
Our job was to make this great car seen for the crew from Kelly Holden Cardiff
To do this we used bold clean, crisp lettering splashed along the sides of the car, in white and silver for high contrast against the red.
Fancy tech included points were applied to the rear and front of the car providing more details of the features the Equinox has to offer
And of course the unmistakable Holden logo for easy recognition.
A variety of materials were used- one way vision, clear printed vinyl on the Gerber, Avery cast and metallic, Hexis repostik all to make this masterpiece look effective
No fancy names, just heaps of great features to make every day easier.
If you like the look of the car give Andreas Andreou a call down at Kelly Holden Cardiff | [

America’s fleet of B-52H Stratofortress nuclear bombers are on track to outlast their engines, and the planes need new ones to remain viable past 2030. The U.S. Air Force, which received its first B-52H during the Kennedy administration, wants to replace existing engines with cheaper, more power ones to keep the lumbering jets flying into all the way into the 2040s.
The B-52H is the last of the family of B-52 Stratofortress bombers to remain in U.S. service. The first -H model was delivered in 1961, and 76 of the original 102 bombers still fly with U.S. Air Force active and reserve units. The bombers have a range of 8,800 miles, giving them the ability to conduct strategic attack, close-air support, air interdiction, offensive counter-air and maritime operations worldwide. The bombers are capable of carrying both nuclear and conventional cruise missiles, and are set to carry the new Long Range Stand Off nuclear-tipped cruise missile in the future.
The B-52H fleet is still using its original Pratt & Whitney TF33-103 engines. Two of which hang off each of the bomber’s four engine stations, giving each aircraft eight such engines that combine to generate up to 136,000 pounds of thrust. As powerful as they are, the Pratt & Whitneys are growing old and increasingly difficult to maintain, and they have missed half a century of aircraft engine development. At $69,708 an hour to fly, the B-52 is an expensive bird to keep in the air. New engines could generate even more thrust, require less maintenance, and cost less per hour to fly.
More From Popular Mechanics
Aviation Week & Space Technology says that the Air Force wants to replace the TF-33-103 with a new commercial engine, like those used on commercial airliners, with a “20-40% improvement in fuel consumption compared to the TF33.” The new engine should also generate even more electricity for onboard systems, perhaps powering defensive lasers to shoot down air-to-air missiles. In the past, the Air Force has toyed with the idea of consolidating the number of engines to four to save weight and simplify things, but eight engines will provide more thrust and electrical power.
The Air Force has had on-again, off-again plans to reengine the B-52H fleet for decades, but the service’s 2018 budget finally provides funding for an early study. According to AvWeek, new engines would go on the first ten bombers around 2026, with the remaining 66 bombers refitted in the 2028-2034 time frame. The bombers would ideally stick around in Air Force service until 2050 or so, making them approximately 90 years old at their time of retirement.

The AMS285/AMS385 are three-terminal micropower band-gap voltage reference diodes. They feature a very low dynamic impedance and good temperature coefficient, operating from 1.24V to 5.3V and over a 10A to 20mA current range. On-chip trimming is used to provide tight voltage tolerance. Since the AMS285/AMS385 is a band-gap reference, uses only transistors and resistors, low noise and good long-term stability result. Careful design of the AMS285/AMS385 has made the device exceptionally tolerant of capacitive loading, making it easy to use in almost any reference application. The wide dynamic operating range allows its use with widely varying supplies with excellent regulation. The extremely low power drain of the AMS285/AMS385 makes these reference diodes useful for micropower circuitry. These voltage references can be used to make portable meters, regulators or general purpose analog circuitry with battery life approaching shelf life. Further more, the wide operating current allows it to replace older references with a tight tolerance part. The AMS285 is operational in the full industrial temperature range of -40C to 85C while AMS385 is operating over a 0C to 70C temperature range. The AMS285/AMS385 are available in TO-92, SO-8 and SOT-89 packages. | [

On November 5, 2019, the last of this year's 15,000 native trees and shrubs were rooted securely in the soil. This marks the end of the 2nd year of Watersheds Canada's Natural Edge Program in the Muskrat Watershed. So far, we have planted 30,000 native trees and shrubs along agricultural shorelines within our watershed. Next year, we aim to plant another 15,000 to reach the project's goal of 45,000 trees and shrubs planted in the Muskrat Watershed by 2021.
Watersheds Canada, Algonquin College's Office of Applied Research and Innovation, and the Muskrat Watershed Council would like to thank the 200+ volunteers who came out to help plant this year.
These individuals include:
Local community volunteers
JP2G Consultants Inc., Pembroke
Algonquin College Waterfront Campus's Environmental Technician, Forestry, and Outdoor Adventure Naturalist students
Opeongo High School, Cobden
Valor High School, Petawawa
École Secondaire Publique L'Équinoxe (Equinox Public Secondary School), Pembroke
We would also like to thank all the private property owners who partnered with us on this project and their vested interest in improving local water quality for future generations to enjoy.
Lastly but certainly not least, we would like to recognize the Ontario Trillium Foundation, LUSH Cosmetics Canada, M&R Feeds and Farm Supplies and Township of Whitewater Region. Without their financial support, this project would not have been possible. | [

London-listed oil and gas company Energean has informed that suction anchors, designed to keep the Energean Power FPSO in place at the Karish field off Israel, have been installed.
Energean said Monday that the installation of the suction anchor took less than three weeks to complete. In total, 13 piles of 7.5 meters diameter, 19 meters height, and weighing 176 tons each, plus one pile of 9 meters diameter, 17 meters height, and weighing 233 tons have been installed on the seabed, in water depths ranging from 1,695 meters to 1,763 meters.
The piles were transported and installed by the heavy-lift construction vessel “Fairprayer”, owned by Jumbo Offshore and subcontracted by the Karish EPC contractor, TechnipFMC.
The suction anchor installation project is a part of the development of the Energean-operated Karish and Tanin offshore gas fields in the Mediterranean Sea, offshore Israel.
Energean's gas assets in Israel will be developed using the "Energean Power" FPSO, currently under construction in Singapore.
The FPSO will be installed 90 km offshore and be the first FPSO ever to operate in the Eastern Mediterranean.
The FPSO will have a gas treatment capacity of 800 MMscf/day and liquids storage capacity of 800,000 bbls.
"Installation of the Energean Power FPSO mooring lines is now in progress and the project remains on track to deliver first gas in 2H 2021," Energean said Monday. | [

Height: 67.00 m
Status: under evaluation
Usage: office, hotel, residential

Email: request via email
A new 67-meter high-rise is being planned for the Rebstockpark area in western Frankfurt. Originally conceived as a purely commercial building under the project name “Westpark”, the new project developer DLE Land Development is now planning a hybrid high-rise at the site. According to its own information, DLE Land Development has received a positive preliminary building decision, according to which the City of Frankfurt has agreed in principle to the change of use of the site. The development plan actually envisages a purely commercial high-rise for the site.
The architectural design for the new high-rise comes from the Frankfurt office of Björn Schmidt Architekten. The use is to be divided equally between residential and commercial. The residential portion is divided into 30 percent subsidized and 70 percent privately financed apartments, some of which will be maisonettes. Green facades with climbing plants and large roof terraces are planned for the high-rise building. There will also be a two-story underground parking garage.
The plot size of the new building project amounts to approx. 6,000 square meters, the floor area measures approx. 37,000 square meters. Bollinger + Grohmann was commissioned with the structural design, the landscape architecture is designed by Drei Eins – Rebecca Faller. | [

On the Beat is an occasional reporting of various crimes and complaints confronted by law enforcement personnel in Newton County in the course of their duties. It is compiled by Senior Staff Reporter Aimee Jones, who can be reached at email@example.com.
COVINGTON — Perhaps it was too early in the morning, but one Newton County woman allegedly took matters into her own hands when trying to wake up her adult son.
Newton County Sheriff’s Office deputies were called to a home on Rivercrest Lane earlier this month in reference to a family fight.
When they arrived, they spoke with a 29-year-old male who said “his mother tried to get him out of bed by throwing a lit piece of paper on his bed,” the incident report states. The victim’s mother was gone by the time deputies arrived.
• Ding and dash
A woman complained to deputies that the neighbor that lives in the apartment below hers was ringing her doorbell and running off.
A Newton County man contacted authorities to report that someone rang his doorbell around 2 in the morning and took off running. He said when he went outside this morning, he found human feces and a Bud Light can on his front porch.
• Oh, there it is!
Social Circle police responded to a woman who claimed someone had broken into her car. The victim reported that $1 and an iPod were missing from the vehicle. The dollar was not located, but the iPod was recovered on the ground near the car.
• Cleaned him out
A Newton County man reported that someone broke into his Pickett Bridge Road home and took a handgun and vacuum cleaner without his permission.
• Facebook friends?
A woman called the Sheriff’s Office to report she had been threatened over a Facebook comment by two women. She said after she posted something, a girl responded online stating, “B—-, I’ll stomp your face for talking about my mother. You is what you is,” the incident report states. Then the girl’s mother called the victim and asked her to delete the posting “or she would send her daughter to kick her a—.”
• In no hurry
The manager at Kroger contacted police one afternoon to report that a male left the store without paying for all the items in his basket. Police then saw the suspect sitting on a bench outside the grocery store eating shrimp and crabmeat. The suspect was intoxicated and had all the items in his basket on the front of his bicycle, according to the Covington Police Department.
• Poor sport
A Covington woman reported to police that someone stole her trampoline mat and screen, golf clubs and an Easton bat bag.
• Snakes alive!
A Newton County woman called authorities to report she found three snakes in her Mabry Farms Court residence. The responding deputy was able to capture just one of the snakes. The woman said she was not staying in her home until a pest control service removed them all.
• Forget something?
Deputies were called to a home on Deep Springs Way where the homeowner noticed that someone had broken into her house. She told the deputy that a few items were in fact missing and someone had rummaged through her bedroom. The deputy then found a black garbage bag lying by a living room chair that contained all the items reported missing.
• With friends like these …
A woman reported to police that “some friends of a friend” were to take her vehicle to a garage to have it fixed. She was told the vehicle never made it to the garage and she does not know where the car is now.
• It’s a yard, not a landfill
A Rockdale County woman said she often finds beer cans and trash in her yard, but she contacted the Rockdale County Sheriff’s Office when she found a white mattress in the front yard.
• Rocky road
Deputies responded to the area of Jack Neely and Harold Dobbs roads where a driver complained that the passenger in the car in front of him threw an ice cream cone out the window that cracked his windshield. | [

The Settings tab in the Navigator software holds information about the aircraft and allows for some configuration options. This information and functionality is usually not needed for performing a regular flight.
In any of the following situations:
To do this, first go to the ‘Settings’ tab within Navigator, then click on ‘Compass Calibration’.
1. Ensure that there are no metallic objects in the vicinity of Marlyn. This means phones out of pockets, no buildings and vehicles within 20m, and no metal in the ground beneath where the calibration is being performed.
2. The drone should also be in its surveying configuration, with 2 batteries and a payload module inserted, and the cover attached.
3. Once these steps are complete, press ‘Start’ on the screen. If the batteries are not inserted at this point, the software will return an error.
To perform the calibration, Marlyn needs to be held in 6 unique positions which will be shown on screen.
Follow the onscreen instructions, first holding Marlyn in the correct position, once this is registered the icon will then start spinning which indicates that the user must spin Marlyn around for 5 to 10 seconds until the icon gains a green border and a green tick.
Once the final step is complete, the screen will come up with the confirmation as shown. It is of critical importance that you then reboot the drone by removing both batteries before flying!
If for any reason during the process the calibration does not complete successfully (i.e. if the drone is not placed in the correct orientation at the correct moment), the screen will show the following screen; In this case, you will need to repeat the process from the beginning. | [

Mimaki’s New Latex and UV Printers
Both machines available in 53- and 63-inch models.
Mimaki has announced two new printers, including a latex machine that is the company’s first foray into environmentally friendly latex ink.
The JV400LX latex printer is available in two sizes: a 53-in. version, badged the JV400-130LX; and a 63-in., badged the JV400-160LX. It supports 6 colors (CMYKcm) plus white, and its newly developed latex inks allow for a low curing temperature of 60 degrees C or below, Mimaki reports, allowing for printing on a wide range of heat-sensitive materials. The drying process is further aided by three heaters – pre, print, and post – integrated into the machine, as well as drying fans. The new printer is equipped with Mimaki’s MCT ink-circulation system to prevent pigment sedimentation and allow for stable ink dispersion (as well as reducing the need for manual ink-cartridge circulation processes). The inks come in 600-ml ink packs, set in eco-cases that don’t have to be recycled.
Other features of the JV400LX include: a top resolution of 1200 dpi; maximum print speeds of 195 sq ft/hr, variable dot size with a minimum dot size of 4 picoliters; and more.
Information on Mimaki’s second new printer – the 6-color JV400SUV printer (also CMYKcm, but no white ink) – was just becoming available as this issue went to press. Details include: The JV400SUV is also available in 53- and 63-in. models, and utilizes the same print engine as the JV400LX, but runs with the company’s newly developed solvent UV (SUV) Mimaki inks. In the printing process, Mimaki reports, “the solvent compound is absorbed by the ink-receiving layer of the media … [and the] printed ink is then cured with a UV process, resulting in a smooth glossy appearance that simulates coating yet maintains the bright colors expected of a solvent printer.” Top speed on the JV400SUV is 195 sq ft/hr; it offers a resolution of 1200 dpi. Inks are in 600-ml packs.
Both printers also feature the new RasterLink6 RIP as standard; the RIP offers an improved user interface and the ability to monitor printing progress from the main screen as well as an enhanced color-replacement function. The printers are expected to be available in the spring. | [

Looks like Louis Walsh has been going on a bit of a rampage.
Making an appearance on Kate Thornton's Paper Cuts on BBC Radio 2, the newly-reinstated X Factor
judge hit out at Girls Aloud, Take That and even X Factor
in one fell swoop.
Let's break it down.
While Walsh's long-running feud with Cheryl Fernandez-Versini has always been heated, the 63-year-old hit out at the rest of her former Girls Aloud bandmates, who've often criticised his management of the group for a brief spell back in 2002.
Addressing Cheryl's accusations that he never gave them any time, Walsh said: "I contacted them as much as I could but they didn't like each other and Nadine was the only real singer there."
"I didn't give them a lot of my time but they didn't give me time and they didn't even like each other."
"It was never going to work because I said Nadine was the best singer and she was. She was the voice of Girls Aloud."
He added: "She should have married the footballer. Look at Victoria Beckham, it worked for her. And Louise [Redknapp]... and wasn't Cheryl married to a footballer?"
But Girls Aloud isn't the only band Walsh attacked during the interview - he also threw shade at Take That while revealing what makes a great boyband.
"If you've got two great singers and three okay singers, you get away with it. That's all you need - look at Take That," he said
"Gary and Rob, they were Take That," he added. "The other three were the other three. I forget their names! But that's the way it is."
Despite being re-hired by Simon Cowell for the upcoming series of The X factor
, the ITV singing competition wasn't safe from Louis's barbs either.
"Rating weren't good, so I knew watching the show it wasn't going to work," he said of last year's series. "I called Simon really late that night, and said, 'You've messed with it too much. It's not working.' He didn't say anything for a second, and then said, 'Maybe you're right.'"
He also revealed how he and X Factor
co-judge Sharon Osbourne, who recently came out as bisexual
, disliked each other when they first met.
"She didn't like me at the start," he says. "We became really good friends as the series went on and on and on. I got to really like her - we're best friends now!"
Oh Louis, it's good to have you back...

An animal species unique to the Channel Islands could soon be removed from the federal Threatened and Endangered Species List.
Federal reports show four subspecies of the Island Fox found on six of the eight Channel Islands are making a remarkable comeback. As a result the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is initiating a review process to see if the animals should remain protected.
Experts say the recovery is the fastest population rebound recorded for any land mammal in the U.S. thanks to a robust restoration plan.
The wildflower season in eastern San Luis Obispo County is off to a very early start. Fields of yellow and blue are a few weeks into their bloom right now according to the Carrizo Plain National Monument's visitor center.
Jackie Czapla runs the center and says the blooms should just be getting started, but instead are well underway.
Czapla says the monument has had less than five inches of rain this year, so it's not going to be a big showy spring display, but it's still beautiful.
Jan. 17 2015 - San Luis Obispo, Calif. — A wet December helped to green California's hills and refill a portion of San Luis Obispo's Laguna Lake, but the following month of January was among the warmest and driest on record in 2015.
The Central Coast saw a very warm, dry January this year, as did the rest of the state. Now, Scientists at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) say it ranks among the warmest and driest on record.
Not only was this January the fourth warmest in the books, but it follows the warmest January ever in 2014.
A new bill up for consideration in Sacramento is aimed at protecting groundwater from oil and gas drilling operations.
Central Coast Assembly Member Das Williams (D-Carpinteria) introduced AB-356 on Tuesday. It would require monitoring near Class II injection wells.
Currently, there are nearly 42,000 oil field injection wells operating in the state, according to the California Department of Conservation. These wells are designed to increase oil recovery and "safely dispose of the salt and fresh water produced with oil and natural gas" the department states.
A study published Thursday in the journal Science takes at look a just how much plastic waste is collecting in the world's oceans.
An estimated 8 million metric tons of plastic waste are added each year according to the numbers crunched by UC Santa Barbara's National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis (NCEAS). That's more than scientists had thought, and enough to cover the entire City of Los Angles in ankle deep trash more than twice over—each year.
Central Coast scientists are seeing a number of species show up along the California coast, far north of their usual range. One of these animals is the Hopkins' Rose nudibranch, a pink sea slug.
Jeff Goddard, a project scientist at the UC Santa Barbara Marine Science Intstitute says the Rose nudibranchs are normally found in Southern California, but last year's warmer ocean conditions may have pushed them north.
Volunteers are set to record thousands of images of the California Coast next week as the highest tides of the year are expected to hit the area on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
The volunteers are part of an effort to help people visualize how sea level rise will impact the lives of coastal Californians. It's called the California King Tides Project, and Central Coast representatives are on board to help document the event.
A couple of environmental lawsuits filed against Monterey County were settled Tuesday—at least for the time being.
Landwatch Monterey County and The Open Monterey Project sued back in 2010 following the adoption of the new county's General Plan. Those two lawsuits were combined.
The plaintiffs were concerned with management of the Salinas Valley Groundwater Basin, encroachment of agriculture on the county's hillsides, blockage of wildlife corridors, and other aspects regarding the county's agriculture and wine industries.
A process to place the monarch butterfly on the federal Endangered Species List is underway. It's part of an effort to protect it from rapidly declining numbers.
Over the past several years, the annual count for monarch butterflies has seen a gradual upswing at the popular grove in Pismo Beach. Cal Poly Professor Denis Frey has been tabulating the local migration numbers since the early 90s, and has shown wide swings in peak totals, according to the Pismo Beach Monarch Butterfly Grove website.
The Central Coast is seeing freezing temperatures this week, creating conditions that can be harmful to some plants.
To protect plants from extreme frost damages, water plants thoroughly. Todd Davidson is the owner of Sage Ecological Landscapes and Nursery in Los Osos. He says some people may think watering creates ice, but it's actually protecting plants.

76ers 91, Kings 82
The unraveling of the Kings continued in the third quarter. After leading by 13 in the first half, the Kings will need a big rally to comeback tonight.
The Kings' scoring has declined every quarter since scoring 31 in the first quarter. DeMarcus Cousins has five fouls, which has limited his effectiveness (six points, eight rebounds).
Sacramento's defense has been passive since the first quarter. Philadelphia shot 15 of 24 (62.5 percent ) in the third.
Six 76ers have scored in double figures, led by Dorell Wright with 19 points. Jrue Holiday is flirting with a triple double (17 points, seven rebounds, six assists).
Tyreke Evans has 19 points and eight assists to lead the Kings.
Kings 58, 76ers 58
Philadelphia found its offense and outscored the Kings 36-27 in the second quarter.
It was the bench of the 76ers that did the bulk of the work. Dorell Wright scored 13 of 16 points in the second quarter and Lavoy Alen had 10 of his 12 points in the second period.
Tyreke Evans had two points in the second after his hot start and has 14 points and five assists. Marcus Thornton has 12 points and Patrick Patterson added 10 points.
DeMarcus Cousins had to leave the game briefly after suffering a long scratch under his right eye. Between that and three fouls, Cousins has only four points and six rebounds.
Kings 31, 76ers 22
Tyreke Evans is off to a hot start as the Kings have jumped on the poor-shooting 76ers.
Evans has 12 points and four assists in one of his best starts to a game in a while. DeMarcus Cousin had to leave the bench briefly (no reason given) but he had four points and five rebounds in seven minutes.
The Kings shot 13 of 21 (61.9 percent) in the quarter.
Spencer Hawes had six points and three rebounds for Philadelphia, which shot 10 of 27 (37 percent).
All-Star guard Jrue Holiday had four points and four assists, but missed five of his seven shots.
Hawes is being booed constantly for his admitted stance that he wants to see an NBA team back in his hometown of Seattle, even if it means the Kings being sold and moving there. | [

Eskay Mining Identifies Numerous New Precious Metal Rich VMS Targets in Preparation for its 2022 Drill Campaign
TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / March 21, 2022 / Eskay Mining Corp. (“Eskay” or the “Company”) (TSXV:ESK)(OTCQX:ESKYF)(Frankfurt:KN7)(WKN:A0YDPM) is pleased to announce it has defined numerous new drill targets in three focus areas at its 100% controlled Consolidated Eskay precious metal rich volcanogenic massive sulfide (“VMS”) project, British Columbia from recently received soil and rock chip analyses.
- Recently returned soil and rock chip analyses coupled with SkyTEM data reveal numerous new targets in three focus areas, the greater TV-Jeff region, C-10-Vermillion-Spearhead and Scarlet Ridge (Figure 1).
- Eight new drill targets have been identified in proximity to the TV and Jeff precious metal rich VMS deposits including anomalies along strike as well as on the western limb of the Eskay Anticline opposite of TV-Jeff (Figure 2). This new area has been named Excelsior.
- Soil sampling traverses in areas north of C10-Vermillion-Spearhead generated five significant geochemical anomalies, and rock chip sampling of VMS mineralization at Vermillion yielded two high-grade samples, 12.7 gpt Au and 322.0 gpt Ag, and 14.9 gpt Au and 21.2 gpt Ag, respectively.
- Compilation of historic data dating to 1989-91 from Scarlet Ridge clearly indicates the presence of significant precious metal rich VMS mineralization in this area that was briefly explored by Eskay Mining at the end of the 2021 season and will garner continued work in 2022.
“On the heels of a very successful 2021 drill campaign, we are now very pleased to see our 2021 surface sampling results generate strong anomalies indicating we have lots more targets to explore,” commented Dr. Quinton Hennigh, technical advisor and director of Eskay Mining. “At TV-Jeff, eight strong targets are evident from soils and SkyTEM data. Not only do we see strong anomalies along strike from TV and Jeff, areas to the west of TV-Jeff on the western limb of the Eskay Anticline also light up suggesting mineralization continues there. North of C10-Vermillion-Spearhead, five broad soil anomalies have emerged across highly prospective stratigraphy. Two rock chip samples from Vermillion yielded high-grade VMS mineralization, 12.7 gpt Au and 322.0 gpt Ag, and 14.9 gpt Au and 21.2 gpt Ag, respectively, clearly indicating more follow up work is needed there. At Scarlet Ridge, our team was able to track down 1989-91 vintage rock chip and shallow drill hole data that provides strong evidence of precious metal rich VMS mineralization in that area. With just ten weeks left before kick-off of the 2022 season, our crews are now busily planning diamond drilling and follow up surface exploration. We expect 2022 to be a very good year for Eskay Mining.”
“We control a huge property right in the middle of the most important part of the Golden Triangle,” commented Dr. John DeDecker, Eskay Mining’s VP of Exploration. “Our potential for further precious metal rich VMS discoveries is very strong given we control about 85% of the Eskay Trough, the geologic corridor favorable for Eskay Creek type deposits. In 2021, we collected critical data including soils, rock chip samples, and an expanded SkyTEM survey over three targeted areas: the greater TV-Jeff region, C-10-Vermillion-Spearhead and Scarlet Ridge. With this data now fully in hand, we are very confident we will make further discoveries with the drill bit in 2022. This will be the most important year yet for Eskay Mining.”
Summary of Targets around TV-Jeff:
Eight new drill targets have been identified in areas around the TV and Jeff deposits, five of which occur along the N-S striking east flank of the Eskay Creek Anticline and three of which, the Excelsior targets, occur on the west flank of the Eskay Creek Anticline opposite of TV-Jeff (Figure 2). These targets are summarized below:
- Jeff North: This target encompasses several notable areas of elevated conductivity seen in SkyTEM data. Associated with these is a broad series of moderately anomalous Au-in-soil values. Ag-in-soil values, some over 5 ppm, are widespread throughout the target area. Like Ag-in-soil, As-in-soil values are strongly elevated, several samples grading over 250 ppm near the north end of the target area. Hg-in-so | [

Idaho Wool Growers Association (IWGA) announces the Idaho sheep industry is in dire straits due to the pandemic and needs help.
IWGA President John Noh states, "Over the past two weeks our industry has taken a huge hit and we are suffering." Current export markets report zero bids on wool commodities, zero bids on lamb, and just two days ago, the USDA National Wool Review announced zero price reports for any class of wool sold in the entire United States.
Noh adds, "We have been sounding the alarm for over a year that we lost 89 percent of our wool export market over the ongoing China tariff/trade wars. We were barely hanging on; holding onto some hope that new tariffs laws would end our troubles. But the little we had left was taken when Coronavirus took over." Noh continued by pointing out that it is not just the wool market effected, but, "every sector of our industry, from lamb feeders to sheep producers to wool markets have been, and are currently being, decimated. The hundreds of family-owned operators in Idaho are in great peril from the economic disaster this has caused."
"In 2016, a sheep pelt would profit a producer $16. Today it costs our producers $2 to have one rendered. This is not right," added Noh. "We still have last year's wool clip and part of 2018's clip waiting in storage to be exported while our sheep continue to grow it. There is simply no avenue to sell this wool and with restaurants hurting, our lamb is not selling either."
Three weeks ago, Eater.com reported the restaurant industry has declined over 60 percent. Solid official numbers currently are not available for the past two weeks; however, some are estimating it is actually upwards of an 85 percent decrease. The collapse in those markets effect all segments of agriculture, but especially the sheep industry, resulting in America's second largest lamb processing plant to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The few auction barns that are still operating have seen a 55 percent decline in live lamb prices resulting in a severe bottleneck of live animals in the supply chain. Since over 50 percent of the domestic lamb is purchased by food service, many lambs that were ready and scheduled for harvest are just aging in the feedlots. This will continue, and just worsen, in the foreseeable future. The American Sheep Industry (ASI) has calculated a negative economic impact in excess of $350 million. The Idaho Wool Growers Association strongly believes this to be an ultra-conservative estimate as Idaho alone stands to lose over $42,000,000 in sales this year (according to the National Agricultural Statistics Service.)
"It was not many years ago that the sheep industry was deemed of great importance to our national security," adds Noh. "Today, while our industry is smaller, it is still of extreme relevance to our great nation. Wool is the only natural fiber that can keep you warm and dry in the winter and cool in the summer and is naturally fire resistant. It is essential for our nation's military and emergency responders. Additionally, lamb produced on the open ranges of the Western U.S. are raised on completely renewable natural resources. Those natural resources help produce a profoundly delicious protein, rich in vitamins and minerals. Yet we are now strangled to get anything to market," said Noh.
"We desperately need help for our industry right now." Noh continued to plead, "Please contact our legislators and tell them you are concerned and we need help." | [

The ultimate development of the Vultee Vengeance, remodeled as a single-seat ground attack aircraft, and powered by Pratt & Whitney's huge R-4360 radial engine. By the time this plane appeared the Army Air Force decided that the mission could be carried out just as effectively by single-seat fighters such as the P-47 Thunderbolt. This might have been the Air Force's answer to the Navy's Douglas AD Skyraider.

URBAN WAR IS always messy. Unlike sparsely populated areas where armed forces can quickly ‘dominate’ territory, in cities each square foot of area has to be fought for. That is always messy. People die and are injured by the thousand. But even worse pathologies often emerge: populations become ‘weapons’ when they are held hostage, to be used as bargaining chips for whatever military commanders seek—territory, supplies, respite, anything.
Fighting in Aleppo, Syria’s largest city, began five years ago in mid-2011. Originally a contest between militants who had moved into the city from the countryside and the forces of Syria’s strongman Bashar al-Assad, the war in Aleppo is no longer one of attrition. With the entry of Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Qatar on the side of rebels, and later Russia on the side of Al-Assad, the city is now hostage to larger, geopolitical goals that mar the Middle East today.
In the last six to eight months, the Russian air force has pummelled the eastern part of the city almost to rubble. Repeated requests by the UN’s special envoy Staffan de Mistura and other diplomats have tried to broker ceasefires that would allow relief materials and humanitarian aid to reach the city’s desperate population. But this was, and remains, futile: when starving a population becomes a strategy for military gain, there’s little that diplomacy can do. As of 11 October, Aleppo—a city of 1.8 million people— had 11 ambulances and 36 doctors. This is not surprising as hospitals have been deliberately targeted by Russian forces.
Aleppo is just a symptom of what ails Syria and the other multi-ethnic and multi-religious countries that dot Levantine Middle East. The Sunni Arab populations there have often felt that they are living under the tyranny of Shia rulers who are loath to share power in a democratic fashion. Nothing else can explain the barbaric conduct of their ‘rebel commanders’. Syria is a prime example. The diversity of the country—where people are divided almost by sub- district—does not allow for imagining larger political collectivities like nations. It takes strongmen to hold countries like Syria together, but when anger explodes, it leads to war, city by city, street by street and foot by foot.
Historically, only two political forms of loyalty have existed in the region: to Empire and tribe. Perhaps it is best to return to those, if only to avoid barbarity. | [

International Monetary Fund (IMF) President Georgieva (Kristalina Georgieva) said on Thursday (12th) that the global economy will remain severe in 2023, but she predicts that the IMF will not continue to revise down its annual growth forecast like last year, and the economic growth will continue to grow. It is expected to bottom out at the end of the year.
Georgieva said that 2023 will be another severe year for the global economy, and inflation will remain stubborn, but she believes that unless something unexpected happens, the IMF will not continue to lower its growth forecast like last year.
Economic growth will continue to slow in 2023, she said, but the good news is that the labor market is resilient and as long as people are working, even if prices are high, they will continue to spend, which will help the economy.
Georgieva said that the IMF may not significantly downgrade its global economic growth forecast when it updates its “Global Economic Outlook” on the 31st of this month. She is also optimistic that economic growth will turn around by the end of 2023 or early 2024.
The IMF estimated in October last year that global GDP would grow by 2.7% in 2023.
China used to contribute about 35 percent to 40 percent of global economic growth, but last year’s results were disappointing, Georgieva said. The IMF believes that China is expected to contribute to the global economy again this year, and it is estimated that it will start in the middle of the year. The specific situation depends on the Chinese government’s attitude towards the epidemic prevention policy, that is, continuing to promote reopening.
Georgieva also said the U.S. is on track for a soft landing this year, and if it does enter a technical recession, it will be relatively mild.
Still, she warned that the global economy still faces uncertainties, including a major climate event, a cyber attack or an escalation of the war in Ukraine to a nuclear war.
She said: “We are in a more vulnerable world and we have to be open to risks that may exist that we haven’t even thought about, and that’s been the focus of the past few years, the unimaginable has happened twice gone.” | [

A recent study assessed the value of cardiac signs and symptoms in predicting a pathologic heart murmur and concluded that these symptoms are significantly helpful as a diagnostic aid, but the predictive values are variable depending upon the age of the pediatric patient and corresponding ability or inability to assess certain signs and symptoms.12 Aside from the direct cardiac exam, other physical exam components that should be evaluated in an infant or child with a cardiac murmur include vital signs (such as temperature [fever], pulse rate, respiratory rate, and BP), oxygen saturation, peripheral pulses, respiratory effort, cyanosis or pallor, carotid arteries for bruits, and jugular veins for abnormal pulsations.7 When assessing peripheral pulses, the brachial and femoral pulses are typically used for neonates and infants, whereas the radial and femoral pulses are used in children and young adults.13
Differentiating common pediatric heart murmurs
In the pediatric population, there are four common innocent heart murmurs: Still murmur, pulmonary flow murmur, systolic flow murmur, and the venous hum. These murmurs are also known as functional murmurs, but the term "innocent" is preferable to use when educating families because it communicates more clearly to the parents that there is nothing abnormal or problematic about the murmur.7 Innocent murmurs are more straightforwardly distinguished because they share the following characteristics: they occur in early systole (except venous hum), have a short duration, are typically grades 1 or 2 on the Levine grading scale, and have a vibratory or musical quality.6 Because innocent murmurs are caused by normal blood flow, it is expected that the murmurs should change in sound or intensity with positional changes that alter the normal blood flow. Several position changes and maneuvers can be performed to alter normal blood flow in order to help discern innocent from pathologic murmurs and provide clues to the specific murmur etiology. (See Interventions for altering the intensity of heart murmurs).
Still murmur was named for the surname of a physician who described a pediatric murmur with a musical quality in the year 1909.14 He followed his pediatric patients who presented with this murmur and after some time concluded that the murmur was not producing any abnormal signs and symptoms and was, therefore, innocent in nature.13 Still murmur can be heard in early systole best between the apex and the left lower sternal border.15 This murmur has a vibratory quality that can be compared to the twanging of a stringed instrument or rubber band; it has been likened to the sound of a harp string being plucked or a buzzing sound.14
The pulmonary flow murmur is heard during systole and is most easily audible at the left upper sternal border.15 It typically has a high pitch with a harsh quality and originates from the right ventricle outflow carried through the pulmonary arteries. For this reason, it may radiate bilaterally to the back and axilla.7 Pulmonary flow murmurs are more common in children and adolescents and less common in neonates and infants. When the cardiovascular system develops, only 10% of blood flows to the far branches of the pulmonary arteries, but later in life when the cardiovascular system becomes fully developed, the pulmonary arteries become larger and have greater blood flow.7
The systolic flow murmur is high-pitched, harsh sounding, and best heard in the superior chest and vessels of the head and neck.7 Its characteristic sound caused by normal blood flow through the carotid arteries helps differentiate the systolic flow murmur from a carotid bruit, which is caused by abnormal aortic outflow. Both pulmonary and systemic flow murmurs originate from a physiologic increase in blood flow, and can be classified as hemic murmurs when blood flow naturally increases to compensate for such conditions as anemia or fever.7
The venous hum is a musical murmur that like Still murmur has a vibratory quality.15 It is best heard at both the upper right and left sternal borders and inferior neck region, and it is caused by blood flow returning to the heart through the venous system.7 The venous hum is the only innocent murmur heard during diastole.6 A few isolated case reports indicate that a venous hum may be audible to the child and may cause tinnitus, but this is not typical in the majority.16
A recent study identified several physical exam findings that were independently associated with the presence of a congenital heart defect in neonates: harsh quality, location in either the aortic location (right upper sternal border), tricuspid location (left lower sternal border), or mitral location (apex), pansystolic timing, diastolic timing, and continuous murmurs.17 As a general rule, pathologic systolic murmurs are longer in duration and greater in intensity than innocent murmurs.6 If the murmur is heard during diastole (with the exception of the venous hum) or is holosystolic, the murmur is pathologic.6

One of the most exciting and previously unsuspected (until the last 25 years) elements of the "omics" revolution is the awareness that environmental signals are often greater determinants of health and disease than genes themselves. Signals from dietary intakes, physical exercise, stress, toxin exposure, and many other sources can turn off or on different genes--pushing our life's trajectory toward either health or disease. This primarily happens when these signals influence the proteins expressed by our genes and, downstream, how those proteins affect our metabolism--our basic biologic functioning.
Today, clinicians require an understanding of the chief actors in this stream of "omics" to educate patients as to why their lifestyle choices and environmental exposures have such a powerful influence on their health." Institute for Functional Medicine. | [

Poker is a card game where players compete against one another by placing bets to create the best possible hand. It is played with a standard deck of 52 cards. The player with the highest ranking hand wins. The game can be played either in face-to-face or online. It is considered a game of skill, and good players can often spot tells in their opponents’ body language and mannerisms. There are also a number of advanced techniques, such as bluffing, that can help improve your poker skills.
The most important thing to remember about poker is that there are no guarantees in the game. No matter how strong you start with, the flop can turn your hand into a total disaster. You should always try to bet early and raise, even if you have a weak hand. This will give you more chances to win. It is a very fast-paced game, and it is easy to lose if you don’t keep up with the action.
A common mistake made by new poker players is to bet too low. This can make them look weak and make other players call their bets. It is important to bet at the correct level in order to get the most value out of your strong hands.
Another common mistake is to play too early. It is important to watch your opponent’s bet patterns and be patient. By doing so, you will be able to figure out how strong their hand is and adjust accordingly. You should also avoid bluffing too often. While it may seem tempting to bluff with terrible cards, this will eventually backfire.
The basic rules of poker are simple and easy to learn. The game starts with an initial amount of money being put into the pot by all the players before the cards are dealt. This is called the ante, blind, or bring-in.
When the cards are dealt, there will be several rounds of betting. Each player will have the option to check (pass on betting), bet, or raise. When raising, a player will bet more than the previous player’s bet.
Once all the bets are placed, the players will reveal their cards. The player with the best poker hand will win. Depending on the situation, the winning hand may be all-in or just a pair of two matching cards.
A flush is any five consecutive cards of the same suit. A full house is three cards of the same rank and two matching cards of another rank. A straight is five cards in a row, but they don’t have to be in order or of the same suit. A pair is two cards of the same rank and a third unmatched card. Ties are broken by the highest unmatched card or pair. | [

(MENAFN- Jordan Times) AMMAN — The Lower House on Tuesday referred the natural resources law, arbitration law, higher education and scientific research law and the public universities law to the Senate, insisting on the amendments it has recently made to the four bills.
Last week, the Upper House referred the four laws to the Lower House after making some amendments. If any of the Houses of Parliament insists on its amendments for the second time, then, constitutionally, the senators and MPs have to meet in a joint session to resolve the disputed matter in a two-thirds vote.
Concerning the 2018 amendments to the arbitration law, senators changed the'specialised court' in the arbitration law to 'Court of Appeal' and not 'Court of Cassation' as amended by MPs.
Senators also rejected MPs' proposal as per amendments to the natural resources law to exempt quarries' building materials extraction for local use from mining levy.
Meanwhile, the Lower House on Tuesday adopted a statement by its Palestine Committee that denounced the Israeli Knesset's initial approval of a bill allowing withholding the bodies of Palestinians killed by Israeli forces, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.
The Israeli ministerial committee for legislation on Sunday gave the Knesset its approval to discuss a bill allowing authorities to hold the bodies of Palestinians killed by Israeli gunfire.

Ajay Devgn, Dhaval Jayantilal Gada, Shreyans Hirawat
Shivaay is meant to be larger than life, and a completely different experience than many other Bollywood adventure films have been able to offer.
The problem lies with a story that I don't quite understand. Ajay Devgn employs the hero-esque role and takes everyone to mountains and cliffs and icy areas in Bulgaria. And I still just don't get it.
I think the problem lies in the overzealous production value Ajay Devgn insisted in putting into his film. His directorial venture falls short because of its ability to engage us in the core. In an effort to surpass all expectations, Ajay Devgn has not met any expectations. Don't get me wrong - the locales are beautiful, the cinematography is top-notch. But that's where the positives end. The film offers little in terms of any engaging plot, and fails to even reach a comprehension level that the most non-Bollywood filmmgoer would understand.
I wish I could delve into the story more but I'm not sure I can outline the story in any way that would make sense - because it didn't make sense to me. The film drags on for far too long to try to make sense but it fails. No good actors can salvage this film.
This one has to be skipped. | [

St. George eyes big school expansion
BOURBONNAIS — The enrollment in St. George Community Consolidated School District 258 has doubled in the last two decades.
Even when the district expanded its only school in 2004, officials knew it would not be the end of it.
“As the addition was going up, they knew it wasn’t going to be enough space. But they knew there was no more money because of bonding capacity,” Superintendent Helen Boehrnsen said in an interview last week.
In the April 2 election, voters will decide whether to let the district borrow about $7 million to pay for an expansion and other improvements.
But the kindergarten-through-eighth- grade school district said the borrowing will not mean an increase in the tax rate. It will merely replace money dedicated for past borrowing.
Boehrnsen said she is careful in her wording to make sure to say the referendum is “not a tax rate increase.” She said that’s because the district cannot control property assessments, which shift burdens among taxpayers, thus increasing or decreasing taxes, regardless of the tax rate.
In an interview, Boehrnsen looked over the map of her district, pointing to subdivisions such as Summerfield that stopped growing after the 2008 economic crash but are expected to expand in the coming years. This will further grow enrollment, she said. As it is, the district has been averaging 15 new homes annually over the last five years.
Boehrnsen said planned hiring at CSL Behring and Nucor is a major reason for the expected enrollment growth.
“Families who choose to live in our community appreciate what St. George has to offer, which is smaller classes and personalization,” Boehrnsen said. “Children will see their kindergarten teacher all the way through eighth grade.”
With the borrowed money, the district hopes to add eight to 10 classrooms. The expansion would replace eight existing mobile classrooms, which have been used for the last seven years. The superintendent and administrative staff will continue to work out of other mobile space, Boehrnsen said.
The borrowed money also would pay for more parking, security system upgrades, a renovated bandroom, a relocation of the playground, electrical and plumbing improvements and a renovated main entry for security purposes, the superintendent said. The original school was built in 1925, but saw expansions in 1957, 1971, 1995 and 2004.
Regarding property taxes, Boehrnsen said her district lacks the prime commercial development that would provide a bigger tax base. For instance, the men’s Carson’s store and some of its parking lot are the only parts of Northfield Square mall that belong in the St. George district. The rest is in the Bradley Elementary district. Walmart, although next to the St. George district, is entirely within Bradley as well.
Boehrnsen said the school district has submitted an application to a state program that would provide St. George property taxpayers a half million in relief. In return, the district would end up getting much of that money through the state’s formula for school aid, she said.
However, she said the state has rated the St. George district as having little chance of getting the tax relief. Still, she said it’s important for the district to seek opportunities to help taxpayers.
St. George, along with the Bradley and Bourbonnais elementary districts, feed into Bradley-Bourbonnais Community High School. According to state records, 28 percent of students in St. George come from low-income families. That compares to 53 percent in Bradley Elementary and 45 percent in Bourbonnais Elementary.
Over the years, discussions have taken place about consolidating St. George with the three other school districts in Bradley and Bourbonnais. But Boehrnsen said studies have shown that consolidation wouldn’t save money. And she pointed to numbers showing the district’s spending per student is less than the three others.
“We have had a balanced budget every year for the last 10 years. We operate very lean,” the superintendent said. “We’re financially healthy.” | [

Introduction: Constellation Keychain
I made key chains which constellations on it.
I used Inkscape for designing and cut with laser cutter.
It is very easy to make and would be a nice small gift for your friends and family :D
Step 1: Import and Modify an Image
I took constellations from this image. You can choose any constellation images.
1. Import the image to Inkscape.
2. To take the constellations out, change the image as a vector graphic (Path> Trace Bitmap). You can look at the live preview and change the threshold of brightness cutoff. After you apply, you will have a new vector graphic on the original image. Use the vector graphic.
3. To make holes where the stars are, go to Fill and Stroke (Object> Fill and Stroke), select fill: non-fill, stroke paint: black, stroke style: 0.02mm.
Step 2: Edit the Constellations
1. Choose the constellations that you want to have on your key chain and remove all other nods by simply selecting nods and delete (tool bar on the left> Edit paths by nods). You would probably zoom in and select all the unnecessary nods by dragging and delete them at the same time. This was a little bit work for me. But if you choose simple constellation image, it will not bother you that much :)
When you change the size of the constellations, pay attention to the size of the stars so that laser cutter will cut stars out properly. I made diameter of all the stars around 1mm.
2. Draw the lines between starts (tool bar on the left> Draw freehand lines) to show the shapes of the constellations.
Step 3: Key Chain Design
1. Draw a circle of your key chain size. I made its diameter as 40mm.
2. Draw the small circle for the hole for the ring. I made its diameter as 3mm. Place the constellation and the hole on the bigger circle.
3. Select two circles and change fill and stroke as fill: non-fill, stroke paint: black, stroke style: 0.02mm (Object> Fill and Stroke).
Step 4: Laser Cutting
I used 3mm MDF, but it will look great with acrylic boards as well.
I simply put a constellation on each key chain, but you can also write name or message :)

PECVD System for 30×30 cm² Substrates
Motivation and Objectives
The scale-up of the PECVD technique for silicon thin-film solar cells from the laboratory scale (typical substrate size 10×10 cm²) to industrial manufacturing (~ m²) requires answers to be found to many scientific and technological questions regarding film thickness and optoelectronic properties in order to be able to produce homogeneous amorphous (a-Si:H) and microcrystalline (µc-Si:H) silicon films on a large area at a high rate. One central objective of our PEVCD development is to solve these problems for 30×30 cm² substrates in close cooperation with industry partners and thus to lay the foundations for cost-effective industrial manufacturing processes. The variable system design also facilitates the development of new PECVD processes and studies regarding the connections between deposition parameters, plasma properties and the growth of different silicon films.
The PECVD system consists of two load chambers and two deposition chambers – one for p- or n-doped silicon films and one for intrinsic a-Si:H and µc-Si:H absorber films. The basic version was supplied by MRG Inc. (Colorado, USA). The system was further equipped and optimized at IPV. The PECVD electrodes were developed within the framework of a cooperation between FAP GmbH (Dresden, Germany) and IPV. The electrodes can be operated at RF and VHF frequencies (13.56 MHz, 27.12 MHz and 40.68 MHz). The maximum base pressure of the system is 1×10-8 mbar. Plasma analyses for process control can be carried out during the production of intrinsic silicon films by means of optical plasma emission spectroscopy. These plasma diagnostics were developed at the 5‑chamber system for small areas and then adapted for the coating of larger areas.
Current Research Topics
The development and scale-up of PECVD processes aims at producing a-Si/µc-Si tandem solar cells with high stable efficiencies. The intrinsic a-Si:H and µc-Si:H absorber films are planned to be deposited at high rates. Promising lab developments are transferred to pilot production runs, production lines or system development at industry partners (Cooperations).
At the same time, the system provides reproducible standard processes for amorphous and microcrystalline silicon thin-film solar cells. These processes can be used to verify and examine the influence of changes in the cell process or other components. The system is thus integrated in the further development of TCO films, back reflectors and other components of the solar cell. | [

Beauty is an array of procedures that support body wellness, strengthen its appearance and relieve skin problems like acne, creases and unwanted growing old. The true secret components of a correct skin-care strategy are firming, cleanse and moisturizing. They operate by cleansing the body of grime, engine oil and debris that will hinder your skin pores. They can encompass the use of right emollients, avoidance of a lot of exposure to the sun, prevention and vitamins and minerals of selected skin problems like zits and psoriasis.
A natural skin care product works best in the event it matches a woman’s specific pores and skin biochemistry. There are various parts which are thought to be crucial in the combat with acne breakouts, rosacea and lines, while there is no one item that could work for every individual. A lot of people have no idea that these skin conditions usually are not a result of dirt and grime or toxic compounds from the skin area, but by a combination of hormone imbalances adjustments, stress and genetic predisposition. In an effort to maintain body health and to circumvent skin problems like acne breakouts, rosacea and lines from getting, these disorders really need to be controlled or cared for appropriately.
When choosing a pores and skin-maintenance regimen, there are several things to consider. Differing people have different kinds of skin. Some are dry out, others are oily and many are mix. The frequency of epidermis-care and attention schedules and also the time allocated to them differ in between folks. Some people may require a basic detoxification once a week, although some may need it twice a day.
Skin cleanse becomes necessary following fishing, large exercising or when performing outdoors within the direct sunlight for too long periods of time. It can also be imperative that you opt for a cleanser that is not going to contain substances that can damage the skin. Most people opt for a facial cleanser containing salicylic acidity, triclosan or benzyl hydrogen peroxide. In order to dispose of the dead skin cells, a fantastic healthy skin care regimen will incorporate exfoliation as well as a lotion.
A great skin care plan would include a moisturizer with SPF 15 and sunshine defense, regardless of your skin kind is. Working with a good exfoliator can improve your visual appearance and pull off years of old skin debris, nevertheless a number of people would rather only use a cream. You can actually talk to a competent within a retailer or possibly a table-licensed dermatologist to design beauty goods strategy designed to job ideal for you. Also be sure to examine the components associated with a merchandise you are considering getting to make sure they are all effective and safe and sound.
Besides cleansing and hydrating, a skin area-maintenance program must also contain contra–growing old treatments and serums. These serums may help lower wrinkles and face lines, develop firmness and resilience and minimize soreness. Most of the lotions and creams and serums now available possess an SPF issue of just beneath fifteen and several are in a mild, hidden conclude. However, just before investing in any merchandise, be sure to check out substances and the score by professionals.
There are 2 types of skincare serums on the market and the are AHA and Retinol. Retinol is located in some well-liked doctor prescribed eyes gels whilst AHA can be found in most successful nonprescription skin care goods. Retinol can be utilised in the same manner as health professional prescribed eyes gels while AHA must be used in incredibly centered kinds and just on pustules and creases. Both of these are helpful and should be component of any beauty solutions strategy.
The ultimate element of a skin treatment program is exfoliation. This procedure is accomplished once a week to take out dead skin cells and prevent new ones from creating. It can be carried out at your home which has a moderate astringent or at a salon where skin treatment pros use a distinctive exfoliating alternative. Exfoliation is necessary simply because it takes away the two high-quality wrinkles. Exfoliation can even eliminate the pigment which may be provide on the skin if done correctly. For the best results, a dermatologist can suggest on which exfoliating choices are best for your style of epidermis.

This Is the Most Powerful Hurricane of All Time
Tropical Storm Barry hit Louisiana hard and is expected to bring high winds and nearly a foot of rain in some places. The storm is moving slowly which will make these matters worse in some cases. However, its destructive force is nowhere near the largest and most dangerous hurricanes some of which did their damage nearly a century ago. The most damaging hurricane in American history actually happened in 1935.
The “Labor Day Storm” in 1935 had winds measured at an extraordinary 160 miles per hour. It hit the Andros Island and the Florida Keys in September. According to Weather Underground, “The strongest landfalling hurricane on record in the Western Hemisphere brought Category 5 winds and a terrifying storm surge to the upper Florida Keys on the late evening of Monday, September 2, 1935.” The storm killed over people.
The storm was so huge its winds wrecked parts of Tampa, which is on the western side of Florida, fairly far from where the storm landed. As it moved up the East Coast, the storm dumped nearly 17 inches of rain in Maryland, and 13 inches in Atlantic City.
Several storms since the 1935 hurricane have been nearly as powerful. In particular, Hurricane Camille hit Cuba and southern Florida in August 1969. It has maximum sustained winds of 150 miles per hour. Hurricane Gilbert hit parts of the U.S. in September 1988. Its maximum wind speed was 160 miles per hour. Hurricane Irma hit the U.S. nearly two years ago in September 2017. Its maximum sustained winds were 155 miles per hour and hit Florida.
The best way to measure large hurricanes is to review the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s hurricane database (HURDAT 2), which tracks the date, time, location, minimum pressure (in millibars) and wind data for hurricane episodes from 1851 to 2017. Hurricanes were ranked according to their minimum pressure in millibars, where one millibar is the equivalent of 100 pascals in pressure. The lower a storm’s minimum pressure, the stronger the storm is. For context, air pressure is 1,013 millibars at sea level. | [

This treatment modality is used in place of conventional therapies to treat cancer. Seek advice from a qualified physician before replacing standard cancer therapy with aloe vera treatments.
What does aloe vera therapy involve?
Many of the 200 known species of aloe have been used as herbal medicines. The best known species, aloe vera, has traditionally been used in a topical gel form to treat dry or damaged skin, burns and cuts. Since the 1930s, aloe has been used for the treatment of skin reactions resulting from radiation therapy.
How is aloe vera thought to treat cancer?
Some proponents claim that aloe strengthens the immune system by acting directly on abnormal cells, thus preventing or treating cancer. Acemannan, an active compound found in aloe, has been reported to be a potent immune stimulant. It is thought to work by increasing macrophage activity, an immune system cell, as well as releasing immune system enhancers.
What has been proven about the benefit of aloe vera?
Clinical animal research has shown encouraging results in some skin tumors. In 1991, the U.S. Department of Agriculture approved aloe vera as an adjunctive treatment for fibrosarcomas in dogs and cats. However, in the one human study reviewed by the University of Texas Center for Alternative Medicine, no positive responses were reported for radiation-induced dermatitis. At this time, there is no clinical evidence of efficacy of aloe vera as a cancer treatment. Currently, the American Cancer Society does not endorse the use of aloe vera as a cancer treatment and states “used as a cancer treatment, [it] is dangerous and may even be deadly.
What is known about the potential risk or harm of aloe vera?
Side effects of aloe use include contact dermatitis, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and electrolyte balance. Several deaths attributed to aloe vera injections for cancer treatment have been reported.
How much does aloe vera cost?
One gallon of aloe costs around $20. One gallon yields approximately 32 servings.

I lived with them until I was three and a half. I got to help care for Bill and grandma's parakeets in neatly lined cages covering the lion's claw table that had to be extended to full length to accommodate all of them, and my little green turtle in its very special dish with a plastic palm tree. As a child I liked action, and a turtle just doesn't do too much. You can only hold it so long, and well, turtles just aren’t pets. And yes, it died from too much handling.
The parakeets were fun to feed and of course, poke my fingers between the wires of the cage and let them playfully nip. But Bill, he was my favorite. That dog was as old as grandpa, I believe. He didn't romp and jump like the neighbor's dog. That's one of the biggest reasons I liked him, he didn't try to bit like the neighbor's dog did. And I knew Bill Dog had to be old like grandma and grandpa, who didn't walk too fast either. The three of them just sort of had that same swaying side-to-side gait, like they belonged with each other.
I was sent to live with an aunt and uncle, in June that year. They didn't believe in pets in the house and the ones outside just ran away. Bill Dog died not too long after I left, and then grandma gave her parakeets away. At such a young age I couldn't understand why; but she knew she was going to be leaving soon too. Life just sort of changed for everybody. We'd still go to visit grandma and grandpa, but the house was just too quiet. When I got older I realized that those wonderful pets of my early days kept the house alive. When they were gone, the air started to feel old, just like the occupants. I missed the birds and Bill Dog even trying to make it to the door. I found at three that life has a beginning and it has an ending, and don't take anything for granted, enjoy them while you can.
They say that pets and kids go together—like my youth, they all vanished.

I was born during the Depression and grew up with conservative values.
During my early years in Michigan, I saw the rise of unions striving to get better pay and working conditions for working-class Americans. These people were the basis and strength of the Democratic Party.
Fast forward to the election of 2016, where we see Hillary Clinton being defeated and blaming it on the Russians. It was not the Russians that defeated her, it was middle class working people that she labeled as a basket of deplorables.
The DNC (Democratic National Committee) and the Democratic Party have become the party of the rich and famous, foresaking the people who had once been their strength. | [

Block Dates Starting # days from the current date.
Started 8 years ago by sndfx69 | 3 posts |
I would like to block dates starting (2) days from the current date.
So if today is November 10, they can only select dates November 13 and later.
Can this be done?
This issue was raised before but no reply was given to the user.
I don't think you can specify the'start' date selection as specifically as you have asked; there is an option that you can specify a "min" and "max" date so the user has to select dates within that range.
There's also "block previous dates" but that means any date prior to the current date.
The option you specifically need is not available as far as I can tell, but perhaps can be added with a bit of coding - but I'm no expert in that.
The workaround I had to use for a similar issue was to update the database on a daily basis:

Willie Garson's Son Nathen Pays Tribute To His Late Father: 'I Love You So Much Papa'
One year after the death of her husband Nick Cordero, Amanda Kloots is taking a big step. “The Talk” co-host revealed on her show that she’s begun to date, which is an entirely new experience for her. “Both of my husbands I met doing Broadway shows. We became friends first, then we got married. With Nick, we had a child. I have never actually had to date,” she explained. “I just started dating again, and it’s so crazy to be dating for the first time at 39 years old. It’s quite terrifying and really out of your element, and it’s hard.” | [

Bug-detecting Advanced Combinatorial Testing System gets an improved user interface and methods to eliminate unnecessary tests, says National Institute of Standards and Technology.
(click image for larger view)
Best Government Websites
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has updated a two-year-old software bug-detection tool with a new user interface and a new feature to improve testing efficiency.
The latest release of the institute's Advanced Combinatorial Testing System (ACTS) -- which uses a NIST-developed approach to testing -- includes a new feature that specifies relationships between parameters being tested. The feature can help testers eliminate unnecessary evaluation of possible code interactions that aren't valid, such as using Microsoft's Internet Explorer on a Linux system, according to NIST.
The release also includes a new tutorial for using the tool called Practical Combination Testing, a method developed by NIST researchers that ACTS employs. The testing method checks for bugs caused by the interaction of between two and six variables.
The tutorial includes concepts for using software tools to generate combinational tests and was written so even undergraduates in computer science or engineering can understand it, according to the institute.
Developed in 2008 by NIST researchers and available for free, ACTS takes a unique approach to bug testing by leveraging NIST research that found nearly all software failures are caused by only six or less variables.
Much of the time, software testing is done by checking combinations of input actions in pairs, and by testing as many of those pairs as possible. However, researchers at NIST said this isn't practical because it's time consuming and also could itself crash an application.
NIST researcher Rick Kuhn, working with others from the institute, found that between 70% and 95% of bugs are the result of only two variables interacting, and nearly 100% are triggered by no more than six. Kuhn worked with researcher Jeff Yu Lei and students from the University of Texas at Arlington to develop ACTS based on this concept.
NIST provided an example to illustrate the difference between traditional bug testing and ACTS. Testing all possible interactions for a product with 34 on and off switches would require 17 billion tests, according to the institute. However, ACTS can test all three-way interactions using only 33 tests, and all six-way combinations with just 522 tests, numbers that are far lower than 17 billion.
Since 2008, NIST has delivered ACTS to 465 organizations and individuals – including academics and governments. In addition to IT organizations – which comprise about half of ACTS users – the tool also is popular in the financial, defense, and telecommunications sectors, according to the institute.
NIST currently is working with Lockheed Martin to study how the company uses ACTS to test its software applications and will publish the results when research is complete.

Lembeh Strait - Dive Site
Dive sites mainland Sulawesi:
Dive sites Lembeh island:
Dive Resorts / Operators:
The world renowned Lembeh Strait lies off the northern tip of Sulawesi. Since resorts started to open in the mid-90s the area has rapidly gained popularity amongst macro photographers and is now considered the diving Mecca for critters and macro marine life. The extremely diverse marine habitat in this stretch of water offers a plethora of macro species, many of which can found nowhere else on the planet. Diving here is the ultimate experience for photographers in search of the unusual and unseen. It is often refered to as a muck divers paradise as most of the sites are either sandy areas or small reefs, there are no spectacular walls of drop offs here. With over 30 dive sites to choose from and even a WWII wreck all within a short boat ride over calm waters from the resort it is no surprise that the Lembeh Strait is a world class dive destination.
Lembeh is diveable all year but the conditions do vary from month to month. January to June sees variable (but still fine) conditions and less divers. August sees the poorest visibility but the richest numbers of critters and September to October are probably the best two months overall.
The Lembeh Strait has over 30 dive sites so since the topography and marine life is very similar for most of them we have only included the most popular. Other good dive sites in Lembeh include Jahir; a large sandy site with coral blocks, Nudi Retreat; very similar to Nudi Falls, Aw Shucks where whip coral and pipefish are abundant, Pantai Parigi; more muck marine life, Kapal Indah; wrecked cargo boat teeming with life, Jiko Yance; reef slope with good viz, Aer Perang and the house reefs at Kungkungan and Divers Lodge.
LEMBEH DIVE SITES INFORMATION
The sandy shallow slope here has a lot of rubble, trash and things that look out of place underwater. However don't let this put you off, they all make excellent hiding places for all manner of exotic critters. Under the pier itself you can expect to see frogfish, seahorses, waspfish, snake eels, cleanershrimp and cuttlefish, also keep a lookout for the endemic Banggai cardinalfish. This is also a great spot for a night dive wherre countless species of crab come out to forage for food and the rare Bobbit worm may be found.
A small vertical rock drops into a slope that ends on a grey sandy bottom at 25 meters. As its name suggests the highlight of this dive site are the sheer numbers of nudibranchs that can be found. The soft coral bed houses myriad macro creatures including pygmy seahorses, frogfish and mantis shrimps. The elusive Rhinopias can also be found here though your dive guide is more likely to spot one.
This bizarrely named spot is one of Lembeh's more popular. Frogfish sightings here are pretty much guaranteed on this black sand bed of life. This is a true muck dive site with seahorses, octopus, crabs and plenty of other crustaceans. Many of the critters are very well disguised, as algae makes a great camouflage. Close by is Hairball 2 where juvenile batfish, cardinalfish and zebra crabs are seen.
Situated at the southern tip if Sarena Kecil Island is this spot which upon first impressions does not look like much. However with the majority of Lembeh's dive spots a keep eye and patience is the key for scattered amongst the rubble and small coral heads are myriad macro critters, hence the name! Keep a look out for decorator crabs, waspfish, frogfish and squat lobsters.
Situated off the north coast of Lembeh Island the submerged peaks here have a number of gorgonians that are home to pygmy seahorses. It is a little different to the rest of Lembeh's muck dive sites, this spot is more like a coral reef dive. Visibility is usually a bit better and there is a couple of swimthrough at about 25 meters which makes up the "Window". Snappers and jacks are often found hanging out here and the walls are lined with crinoids and featherstars.
This is a nice dive to get a break from all the muck. Colourful coral gardens with large orange tree corals and red gorgonians feeding in the current here. The visibility is also often better that that of the murkier muck sites. There is a plateau at around 14 meters where the critters can be found for those macro addicts that simply cant get enough!

SBA Office of Credit Risk Management Oversees Agency Lending Partners
WASHINGTON – Today, the House Committee on Small Business heard from Susan E. Streich, Director of the Small Business Administration’s (SBA) Office of Credit Risk Management (OCRM), on oversight of lending partners and programs.
“Unfortunately, as our economy drives forward, access to capital remains one of the top challenges for the nation’s job creators. When financing options are limited, small businesses have the unique opportunity to turn to the Small Business Administration and its numerous lending programs. These public-private partnerships offer government guarantees based on a multitude of factors. Annually, these programs provide capital assistance to small businesses in my state of Ohio to Florida and beyond,” said Ranking Member Steve Chabot (R-OH). “However, with any federal government program, vigorous and comprehensive oversight is mandatory to safeguard American taxpayer dollars. While this Committee conducts Congressional oversight, the SBA also dedicates an entire operating unit to this endeavor. The Office of Credit Risk Management is charged with overseeing lending partners and monitoring program risk.”
OCRM Has Taken Steps to Streamline Operations
“The mission of the Office of Credit Risk Management is to ensure the integrity and to maximize the effectiveness of SBA’s lending programs by managing portfolio risk, monitoring lender performance, and enforcing lending program requirements… Following the legislation [passage of the Small Business 7(a) Lending Oversight Reform Act of 2018], OCRM has begun increasing its staff, modifying its lender review processes, and implementing a rigorous training program to ensure that OCRM has the workforce capability and leadership in-house to support its heightened mission and responsibilities,” said Ms. Susan E. Streich, Director, Office of Credit Risk Management, United States Small Business Administration, in Washington, DC. “Over the last two years, OCRM has been seeking ways to better fulfill its mission while adapting to the current lending environment. OCRM has accomplished this by improving its operations and engaging in interagency partnerships with other federal regulators… OCRM continues to refine and streamline its approach to monitoring lender risk through its multi-level review process… The review process has been redesigned so that much of the analysis and loan file review activity is performed virtually, providing more timely feedback to the lenders under review and saving them the cost associated with the onsite review process.” | [

An atomic force microscope tip scans the surface of a graphene-metal contact to measure temperature with spatial resolution of about 10 nm and temperature resolution of about 250 mK. Color represents temperature data.
With the first observation of thermoelectric effects at graphene contacts, University of Illinois researchers found that graphene transistors have a nanoscale cooling effect that reduces their temperature.
Led by mechanical science and engineering professor William King and electrical and computer engineering professor Eric Pop, the team will publish its findings in the April 3 advance online edition of the journal Nature Nanotechnology.
The speed and size of computer chips are limited by how much heat they dissipate. All electronics dissipate heat as a result of the electrons in the current colliding with the device material, a phenomenon called resistive heating. This heating outweighs other smaller thermoelectric effects that can locally cool a device. Computers with silicon chips use fans or flowing water to cool the transistors, a process that consumes much of the energy required to power a device.
Future computer chips made out of graphene - carbon sheets 1 atom thick - could be faster than silicon chips and operate at lower power. However, a thorough understanding of heat generation and distribution in graphene devices has eluded researchers because of the tiny dimensions involved.
The Illinois team used an atomic force microscope tip as a temperature probe to make the first nanometer-scale temperature measurements of a working graphene transistor. The measurements revealed surprising temperature phenomena at the points where the graphene transistor touches the metal connections. They found that thermoelectric cooling effects can be stronger at graphene contacts than resistive heating, actually lowering the temperature of the transistor.
"In silicon and most materials, the electronic heating is much larger than the self-cooling," King said. "However, we found that in these graphene transistors, there are regions where the thermoelectric cooling can be larger than the resistive heating, which allows these devices to cool themselves. This self-cooling has not previously been seen for graphene devices."
This self-cooling effect means that graphene-based electronics could require little or no cooling, begetting an even greater energy efficiency and increasing graphene's attractiveness as a silicon replacement.
"Graphene electronics are still in their infancy; however, our measurements and simulations project that thermoelectric effects will become enhanced as graphene transistor technology and contacts improve " said Pop, who is also affiliated with the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science, and the Micro and Nanotechnology Laboratory at the U. of I.
Next, the researchers plan to use the AFM temperature probe to study heating and cooling in carbon nanotubes and other nanomaterials.
King also is affiliated with the department of materials science and engineering, the Frederick Seitz Materials Research Laboratory, the Beckman Institute, and the Micro and Nanotechnology Laboratory.
The Air Force Office of Scientific Research and the Office of Naval Research supported this work.
Co-authors of the paper included graduate student Kyle Grosse, undergraduate Feifei Lian and postdoctoral researcher Myung-Ho Bae.

Google and investment firm Fidelity are together investing $1 billion in Elon Musk's SpaceX company. The money will be used to advance a number of projects, including the recently announced Internet satellite plan.
SpaceX almost nailed it on Saturday with its first attempt to land its Falcon 9 rocket on a floating barge, but it came down too heavily. SpaceX boss Elon Musk is adamant they'll get it right some time this year, paving the way for cheaper space travel.
SpaceX has had enough of watching its Falcon 9 rocket explode every time it returns to Earth. In a bid to reuse the rocket and save massively on costs, the company is planning to create a system involving a controlled landing on a floating platform.
On Friday, SpaceX will launch its first attempt at its ambitious new plan -- to land a Falcon 9 rocket on a self-stabilizing ocean platform. If successful, the landing has huge implications for the future of space travel
The SpaceX project suffered a major setback Sunday when the Falcon 9 rocket carrying supplies to the International Space Station exploded shortly after launch. The accident means it could be many months before the team is ready to try another launch.
Companies like SpaceX have been trying to develop reusable rocket systems for years, but their previous attempts at returning their Falcon 9 reusable rocket system back on Earth have had mixed results. Now, another company has joined the fray.
In a worst-case scenario --like, say, a booster failure-- the Pad Abort system would work like a jet pilot's ejection seat, allowing the rocket's passengers to blast themselves up and away from danger.
SpaceX's mission to launch a space weather satellite and bring the rocket safely back to Earth was called off just minutes before lift-off on Sunday evening when engineers discovered a problem with the rocket's radar tracking system.
SpaceX is ready to give its ambitious rocket launch/recovery plan another try today. Launch is scheduled for 4:33 PM ET, and you can watch the whole thing live right here. We've also added a live weather forecast, so you'll know ahead of time what the…
While Google and Facebook are already looking at different ways to bring Internet connectivity to remote parts of the world, Elon Musk is reportedly also interested in creating and launching 100s of 'lighter, cheaper' satellites with the same goal in mind.
Today on DT Daily: tricking your cell phone camera into thinking its 1974, SpaceX gets ready to try and land a rocket, again, and gassing up your dead device… with actual gas. There are no shortage of add-on lenses for phones and tablets these days, but the… | [

CLUTCH REPAIR & REPLACMENT IN SWINDON
Let PJS Autos keep you on the road
Clutches for vans and cars
What is a Clutch?
A clutch in a car is a part which links the engine and transmission. It transfers power from the engine to the wheels in a manual vehicle. The type of clutch varies from vehicle to vehicle.
How can the life of a clutch be preserved?
There are many things that can help preserve the life of a clutch. A clutch can last from anything between 20,000 to 150,000 miles. Some things that can help preserve the life of a clutch can include (RAC guidelines):
When should you worry about your clutch?
If you experience squeaking noise when changing gears, difficulty in changing gears, or if you have any issues with the clutch pedal, such as it feeling; sticky, vibrating, loose, or even spongey.
Is it okay to drive with a bad clutch?
Driving with a suspected bad clutch can be dangerous. If you have any concerns, please contact us and we will check the clutch and your vehicle, make a proper diagnosis and make an repair recommendations if any are required.
How long should a clutch last?
Approximately 60,000 miles. However, some may only last 30,000 miles. Driving behaviour can play a very important part in how long a clutch may last.
Why is it expensive to replace a clutch?
Replacing a clutch is a highly labour-intensive job. This is because to replace the clutch, the transmission must be removed and the clutch dissembled. Then any damaged or worn parts will need replacing. Depending on the make and model of the vehicle, the time required to replace a clutch and/or components can take up to anything from 2 to 6 hours.
If you have any concerns about the condition of your clutch, please contact us so that we can take a look and give you the best possible advice.

The SX1 set consists of three passive near-field probes for measuring E-fields and magnetic fields with a high clock frequency from 1 GHz to 10 GHz on electronic assemblies and ICs during the development stage. The different probe heads of the SX1 set allow for measurements very close to the electronic assemblies, e.g. on single IC pins, conducting paths, components, and connectors, in order to localize interference sources. An electronic assembly’s field orientation and field distribution can be detected through specific use of the near-field probe. The near-field probes are small and handy. They have a current attenuating sheath and are electrically shielded. They can be connected to a spectrum analyzer or an oscilloscope with a 50 Ω input.
High clock rates, e.g. above 3 GHz approach 10 GHz already at the 3rd harmonic. These harmonics are decoupled from RF sources on the board, e.g. conductor sections, ICs and other components. Other structural parts of the assembly can be excited to oscillate and lead to interference emission.
With the high internal base frequency of today’s assemblies, the measurement of harmonic frequency multiples is an important step towards an EMC-compliant assembly.

Scope of delivery details
With 4x4 mm dimensions, the electrode on the underside of the probe head of the SX-E 03 is very compact. This allows for the localization of very small E-field sources, e.g. at conducting paths, single components, or on printed circuit boards.
The measurement coil of the SX-B 3-1 H-field probe is set at a 90° angle relative to the probe shaft. By positioning the probe head vertically, the measurement coil directly touches the surface of the printed circuit board. It is therefore possible to measure even hard to reach spots on the printed …
With its small probe head, the SX-R 3-1 can detect very high resolution RF-magnetic fields and can, therefore, identify even the smallest components as interference sources. Furthermore, the small probe head is designed to allow for measurements at less accessible areas, e.g. near IC pins.
The "SMA-SMA 1 m es" measuring cable is a shielded RF cable with coaxial construction. The wave impedance is 50 ohm. | [

The setting up of a reparations programme, a key recommendation of Sierra Leone's Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) in 2004, has taken time, not least because of the difficulties in defining the worst atrocities, identifying the most vulnerable among the war victims and in raising the funds to provide eventual and actual assistance.
Of all Sierra Leone's war victims, those whose limbs were chopped off in acts of needless violence, or were wounded in the war, or were victims of sexual violence as well as war widows and orphans, have been deemed to be in particularly pressing need of relief and recognition.
Reparations, identified as a key to achieving national healing and rehabilitation in the aftermath of a vicious war, will largely be delivered through medical, educational, vocational and, for particularly vulnerable victims, housing assistance.
The National Commission for Social Action (NaCSA), a government agency, has been given the job of implementing the programme. The UN's Peace Building Fund has provided US$ 3 million dollars to cover the programme for a year with a contribution of US$ 250,000 from the Sierra Leonean government.
So far, 28,000 people have registered for assistance with 20,000 of them having received US$100 as a micro-grant or for educational support. About 200 victims of sexual violence have received medical assistance including fistula surgery. But limited funds, tens of thousands of people likely to require reparations assistance, and the need to provide reparations in a fair, effective and transparent manner - and fast - has made NaCSA's job extremely difficult.
It now has the support of IOM, which with its extensive expertise in large compensation and restitution programmes worldwide, is providing technical assistance to NaCSA. Tangible results in 2009 for impatient victims, resentful at having their plight and needs ignored for so long, will be key to securing full funding for the programme. A future of peace and stability in Sierra Leone also rests on providing renewed hope to those unable to live a life like others through no fault of their own.
Here, NaCSA's head, Commissioner Saidu Conton Sesay, talks to IOM's Jemini Pandya about the challenges he and his team are facing.
Q: Why are reparations necessary for Sierra Leone?
Commissioner Sesay: I think they are necessary for several reasons. They are really for civilians who didn't take up arms. And looking at the fact that the war was against the State, for civilians to really have suffered means that they suffered unjustly. They need to be acknowledged - that yes, they went through this punishment. It was not their fault. It was the fault of others. They need to feel confident that the government has recognised that this harm has befallen them and that the State is there to aid and support them.
We (NaCSA) are there to make sure that the rights that have been violated are actually restored and to recognise that their dignity was really trampled upon. Reparations are an expression of concern over what happened to them as well as an expression probably of the fact that the government didn't quite fulfil its own obligation in providing protection to these people.
Q: Why has it taken so long to get the reparations programme underway - hasn't its delay caused unnecessary concern and suffering among those who needed the greatest attention?
Comissioner Sesay: Yes, I think concerns have been raised both by the public and the victims themselves. The TRC report was published in 2004 and the expectation was that immediate action would follow in providing reparations. But we are only starting now. And that time lag can actually insinuate a lot of things - neglect, lack of attention. But that is really not the case. I think it has basically been a question of mobilising the necessary support, mobilising the necessary wherewithal, including the logistics, systems and support, to be able to actually start this process. Yes there is anxiety out there. There is a lot of anxiety. It is one of the challenges we have in implementing the programme. How are we going to manage the expectations already out there given the limited resources we are able to lay our hands on? But as I said, there was nothing deliberate to delay the process.
Q: But demobilised soldiers were given assistance in the immediate aftermath of the conflict.....
Commissioner Sesay: That is exactly the point that victims themselves are putting forward - that those that actually inflicted these atrocities on them have got some attention while they - they are still out there, unattended to.
However, let's not forget that it is crucial to disarm those that are behind the violence and to bring them back into the civilian fold if there is to be any chance of long-term peace and stability. It was necessary. But so is the reintegration of victims through reparations for sustainable peace and true reconciliation.

Ukraine National Power Company Ukrenergo has announced the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant is no longer connected to the power grid following military actions from the Russian forces that invaded Ukraine beginning on February 24. This has also affected the city of Slavutich, leaving thousands of people without electricity.
“Because of military actions of Russian occupiers, nuclear power plant in Chornobyl was fully disconnected from the power grid. Nuclear station has no power supply. The military actions are in progress, so there is no possibility to restore the lines. Slavutich city is also out of power supply,” Ukrenergo posted on Facebook.
This report is the latest in a series of concerning escalations related to the power plant, location of the disastrous meltdown of 1986. The Kyiv Independent reports that the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has lost contact with safeguards monitoring systems at Chornobyl, also reported by New Scientist.
The IAEA has also called on Russia to allow for the rotation of some of the 210 technical personnel and guards who have remained working in the plant to keep it safe for the last 13 days. Their access to food, water, and medicine is limited and the situation appears to be worsening.
“I’m deeply concerned about the difficult and stressful situation facing staff at the Chornobyl nuclear power plant and the potential risks this entails for nuclear safety. I call on the forces in effective control of the site to urgently facilitate the safe rotation of personnel there,” IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi said in a statement.
Chernobyl, as the power plant is known in the West, is the romanization of the Russian spelling. The romanization of the Ukrainian spelling is Chornobyl, to align with the sources we kept this spelling throughout the article. | [

Problems with NHTSA Roadside Survey
British politician Benjamin Disraeli said, “There are three types of lies — lies, damn lies, and statistics.” Much of our national policy and regulation is based on statistics. The intention in the gathering and analysis of the statistics is often to determine how best to protect us from ourselves, but sometimes the gathering process is intrusive and offends our right to liberty and privacy.
A February 20 news report out of Reading, Pennsylvania, highlights some of the issues that have arisen lately with the $8 million 2013 National Roadside Survey being conducted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to provide information about the incidence of drunk and drugged driving.
Ricardo Nieves, a veteran, chaplain for an American Legion post, and candidate for the Reading City Council, was stopped on December 13, 2013, by a government contractor gathering data for the NHTSA survey. The man stepped in front of Nieves’ car and directed him to turn into a parking lot, where he was questioned about his driving habits and asked for a mouth swab that would detect the presence of illegal or prescription drugs in his system. Nieves refused. He has since filed a federal lawsuit against the City of Reading, its mayor and police chief, and the Pacific Institute for Research & Evaluation, the organization hired by NHTSA, for being forced to stop without probable cause, which is unconstitutional.
Nieves is not alone in his ire over the way the roadside survey is being conducted. While federal officials contend that participation in the survey is voluntary, Nieves and others, like Kim Cope of Fort Worth, Texas, say that when a uniformed police officer directs you to pull over or into a funneled lane, you’re not likely to refuse to comply.
On December 18, 2013, Dan Coats, U.S. Senator from Indiana, sent a letter to NHTSA calling for an immediate halt to the program while Congress reviews the way the survey is being conducted. Earlier this month a bill introduced in the Tennessee legislature passed the Senate unanimously and went to the House Criminal Justice Committee. That bill would forbid Tennessee law enforcement officers from taking part in the national highway safety survey.
This is certainly not the first national roadside survey to collect data related to driving habits – in fact, it’s the fifth one conducted by NHTSA and/or the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, the most recent prior one taking place in 2007. The methodology involves reviewing the estimated 6 million police-reported crashes which occur annually to identify appropriate survey sites, based on factors such as population density and regional location. For the 2007 survey, Lake County, Indiana, was a targeted area. Nationally, 11,000 people were stopped; data collection involved questioning as well as breath, saliva and blood testing.
Over the past year, six teams of 10 people have traveled to 60 sites throughout the country to work with local law enforcement and collect information from randomly selected drivers during the day and night. We anticipate that the furor over the data collection process will gather steam as more and more drivers, and legislators, speak out against what Senator Coats referred to as an “apparent overreach of power by the Federal government.”
While we wouldn’t join those who opine that the end always justifies the means, we would simply point to some statistics supporting NHTSA’s research into drunk and drugged driving:
- Every day in the U.S., 28 people die as a result of drunk driving crashes.
- Almost every 90 seconds, a person is injured in a drunk driving crash.
- Drunk driving costs the United States $132 billion a year.
- Drugs other than alcohol (e.g., marijuana and cocaine) are involved in about 18% of motor vehicle driver deaths.
- Among motorcyclists killed in fatal crashes in 2010, 28% had BACs of 0.08% or greater.
- Sobriety checkpoints consistently reduce alcohol-related crashes, typically by 9%.
These aren’t lies, or damned lies... they’re just statistics. Don’t be among them.
At McNeely Stephenson, we have been successfully litigating personal injury cases since 1981. If you or your loved one has been the victim of a drunk or drugged driver, call Mike Stephenson, Indianapolis vehicle accident lawyer. He can be reached at 1-317-825-5200 or through our online form. | [

BRUSSELS — The European Economic Community is drifting toward a major financial crisis that, unless resolved at this week's European summit, could cripple the world's largest trading bloc.
The heads of government of the 12-nation EEC, or Common Market, gather for their regular winter summit Friday and Saturday in Copenhagen.
The summit is intended to review progress in improving European political and economic cooperation and to consider the EEC's long-term goals. It also gives the leaders a chance to exchange views on global issues, such as the recent turmoil in financial markets and prospects for next week's U.S.-Soviet summit.
But a mounting budget crisis within the EEC threatens to reduce the Copenhagen meeting to a narrow debate about spending and taxing.
"If we can't get our act together in Copenhagen, I fear the image of Europe will suffer," Lord Plumb, president of the European Parliament, said last week.
Leo Tindemans, the Belgian foreign minister, was more blunt.
"If the Copenhagen summit should result in failure, Europe will be paralyzed for many years," he said.
The collapse of two successive meetings of EEC farm ministers has put a spotlight on the key issue plaguing the community: how to limit farm subsidies.
Sir Geoffrey Howe, Britain's foreign secretary, warned in Brussels last week that without agreement on that issue, there will be no settlement in Copenhagen of the EEC's overall budget problems.
The community spends about two-thirds of its total budget on farm programs. Nearly a fifth is for storing and destroying food surpluses created by farm subsidies.
At Britain's insistence, the EEC has been trying to agree on radical reforms in its farm-spending policy that would put specific limits on the amount of subsidies paid to producers.
Most members say a change is needed, but they disagree on how to do it.
British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher said last month she would accept nothing less than an "unbreakable guarantee" by all member countries to strictly limit farm spending.
Without such commitments, she said, Britain would not accept a proposal by the community's executive commission to fundamentally change the way in which the EEC raises its money.
The other EEC nations are France, West Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, Belgium, Netherlands, Denmark, Greece, Ireland, Portugal, and Spain.
A radical overhaul of the organization's financing system is crucial because the community already is living beyond its legal means and has no budget ready to implement at the start of next year.
For the first time in its history, the EEC effectively suspended budget talks earlier this fall because of conflicts over the farm spending issue.
Under current rules, the European Community is limited to raising $44 billion for 1988, yet it already is committed to spending at least $51 billion.
The community is legally prevented from borrowing money through the sale of securities, the way national governments do. If no budget is in place next year, the EEC will have to operate on a month-by-month emergency basis, with spending limited to 1987 levels. | [

The main components of RO water purifier pump are generally: front PP cotton, front water inlet solenoid valve, low pressure switch, front activated carbon, middle PP cotton, ro motor pump for water purifier, RO reverse osmosis membrane, wastewater ratio, backwash electromagnetic Valves, high-pressure switches, pressure barrels, rear activated carbon, gooseneck faucet, etc.
At present, there are probably: ordinary (second generation) booster pumps, stabilized booster pumps, and self-priming booster pumps. (Note: Mini pumps and RV pumps are not RO water pumps, they are only used for water supply machines).
Ordinary (second generation) RO water booster pump-RO water booster pump without other auxiliary functions;
Stabilized (pressure-limiting) booster water pump-Compared with ordinary booster water pumps, it has an independent pressure relief device. Its function is to discharge the pressure greater than the set pressure relief value, thus playing the role of pressure limiting;
Self-priming booster water pump——Because the water inlet pressure of this pump type is 0 when in use, in order to meet the water production requirements of the water purifier, its power must be increased. Moreover, the hardness of the pressure relief spring should be adjusted accordingly. We have many advanced products concerned with LEFOO pressure control for you to choose from.
Water cut-off booster pump-Compared with ordinary RO booster pumps, there is an additional mechanism that can automatically open or close the water source.
100 gpd pump-ro booster pump 100 GPD include RO Booster Pump 100 GPD and Self-priming RO Booster Pump 100 GPD
150 gbd pump-150 gpd ro booster pump include RO Booster Pump 150 GPD and Self-priming RO Booster Pump 150 GPD
300 gpd pump-300 gbd reverse osmosis booster pumps include RO Booster Pump 300 GPD and Self-priming RO Booster Pump 300 GPD
1. Install after the pre-filter assembly.
2. Install after the first filter.
1. The pump head of the RO booster pumps is leaking;
2. There is abnormal noise;
3. The boost pressure (working flow) is low;
4. Large working current.
1. Water leakage in the pump head: It is mostly because the working time of the RO pressure pump is too long or the working pressure is too high, which causes the diaphragm to rupture or deform and cause water leakage;
2. The RO water booster pump has abnormal noise:
(1) The use of the RO water pump is too long or the working pressure is too large, causing the rotating parts to loosen and generate noise;
(2) Unstable inlet pressure leads to uneven working load of the RO pressure pump and noise;
(3) When the user is installing, the fixing screws of the base are not tightened and noise is generated.
3. Low boost pressure (working flow)
(1) The inlet water pressure is too low;
(2) Air enters the booster chamber of the RO water pump;
(3) The ratio of wastewater is unreasonable.
4. The booster pump for water purifier system has a large working current
(1) Mostly the working load (pressure) of the water purifier booster pump is too large;
(2) The motor rotor is stuck. (This phenomenon is generally caused by the excessive inlet pressure of the water purifier booster pump, the waste water ratio or the blockage of the RO membrane.)

SMM: China produced 342.5 kt of zinc concentrates in November 2019, down 2.1% m-o-m and down 8.1% y-o-y, represented by an operational rate of 74.9%. China’s zinc concentrate output during the first 11 months of 2019 reached 3.58 mln t, down 5.8% y-o-y.
Several large zinc mines halted operation in November amid cold weather, curbing zinc concentrate output by 770 t (in Zn metal) during the month. Furthermore, northern zinc concentrate producers have little incentive to produce in the wake of shrinking profits triggered by falling zinc prices and high PC charges. A number of southern miners have increased their November output to feed downstream smelters’ increased demand for winter stocking.
Looking forward to December, domestic zinc concentrate output is likely to drop further as a result of increased suspensions at miners during cold weather and scheduled maintenance in the month. | [

The digital control of building technology and modern domestic appliances is on the advance. It offers additional safety as well as easy control, since applications can be monitored from wherever the user happens to be. Warema introduced digital control for numerous sun shading solutions in 2009 with WMS WebControl, and since then has continued to develop this product. Now the sun shading expert is co-operating with the technology company mediola, which has developed a practical all-in-one solution. It enables all the smart home applications, from heating and sun shading, entry phone and camera to smoke detectors and lighting to be controlled with complete ease using just one app.
Life has now been made much easier for those who have been using a variety of apps and remote controls to operate the sun shading system and other applications in their smart home. Any shading system with WMS WebControl can now easily be connected to the smart home using the mediola system, regardless of the manufacturer. This means that the most diverse systems and applications by various manufacturers can be linked together. So the user can, for instance, also use a door contact by a participating manufacturer to trigger WMS. Opening the patio door can be connected to a movement command for the external venetian blind so it is automatically raised. The main advantage for end users: all they need is to install mediola's Neo app on their smartphone or tablet, and they can control any of the products in their smart home.
Warema now also
Because the various manufacturers' systems are compatible with mediola, it is now also possible to use voice control with Warema's products. If a user has integrated a speech wizard in their mediola system, it can also be used to issue move commands to the sun shading system. Thus, for instance, Amazon's Alexa voice control responds to the command, "Alexa, lower the roller shutters". The Neo app by mediola is easy to configure by the user and set to their own requirements. In this combination, the Warema Mobile System can be used to create contemporary and individual solutions that leave nothing to be desired with regard to user-friendly and intelligent control. | [

After one confirmed dengue case in Gurgaon, health dept intensifies search for more breeding grounds
Health officials said 55 mosquito-breeding sites have been identified in Gurgaon so far this yearUpdated: Jul 29, 2017 23:11 IST
The confirmed dengue case reported in the city on Friday has set alarm bells ringing in the corridors of the health department, with officials stepping up search for more mosquito breeding sites to prevent an outbreak. Health officials said 55 breeding sites have already been identified this year.
Last year, in June, 238 mosquito breeding grounds were identified across Gurgaon.
The hunt for more breeding sites came as health officials confirmed the first dengue case in the city on Friday. The patient is a 22-year-old man from Sector 46. He was admitted to a private hospital.
Though doctors treating the patient said his condition is now stable, the season’s first dengue case has prompted health officials to adopt urgent measures to contain the spread of mosquito larvae.
“This year, we have reported a decline of 183 (mosquito) breeding grounds as compared to last year. We have so far conducted a survey of more than 7,000 houses, up from 6,761 houses surveyed last year. We are currently in the process of conducting anti-larval operation at several areas of the city,” Ram Prakash, epidemic in-charge, civil hospital, Gurgaon, said.
Officials said fumigation is being done across the city to contain the spread of dengue carriers. “We are also spreading public awareness on dengue and malaria. Recent rainfall has also made the city vulnerable to such diseases,” Prakash said.
However, health officials said that since the city has received less rainfall till now, there hasn’t been a spurt in dengue cases as yet.
Doctors have advised residents to take necessary precautions. “We have advised residents to not allow water to remain stagnant for more than a week, as it could then turn into a breeding ground for mosquitoes,” BK Rajora, chief medical officer, civil hospital, said.
So far, the health department has reported 45 suspected cases of dengue and 11 confirmed cases of malaria. Last year, the city hit a four-year high in the number of dengue cases, with the district health department recording 401 cases.

Bank and thrift stocks lagged the broader markets in trading Aug. 11, as new economic readings reveal disappointing inflation numbers.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics said the core Consumer Price Index rose 0.1% in July and 1.7% year over year, which some economists saw as weak. Markets consequently decreased the odds of an additional Fed rate hike for 2017 from 40% to 35%. Observers had previously expected the Fed to raise rates in December.
The SNL U.S. Bank Index declined 0.67% to 538.87 while the SNL U.S. Thrift Index fell 0.91% to 868.26. The broader markets saw gains at market close, as the Dow Jones Industrial Average added 0.07% to 21,858.32, the S&P 500 gained 0.13% to 2,441.32 and the Nasdaq composite index increased 0.64% to 6,256.56.
The country's largest banks also saw their shares trade down. JPMorgan Chase & Co. decreased 0.84% to $91.42, Bank of America Corp. lost 1.08% to $23.86, Wells Fargo & Co. ticked down 0.02% to $51.94 and Citigroup Inc. declined 0.62% to $66.80.
A few companies had notable moves in trading Aug. 11. Worthington, Ohio-based Central Federal Corp. added 2.31% to $2.15 while Sewell, N.J.-based Parke Bancorp Inc. lost 4.49% to $18.10. Shares of Fresno, Calif.-based Central Valley Community Bancorp fell 4.07% to $19.35 after Folsom Lake Bank shareholders approved the merger of both companies late Aug. 10. The transaction had been cleared by regulators in July, and the merger is expected to close Oct. 1.
In thrifts, New York Community Bancorp Inc. decreased 0.74% to $12.22. Shares of Defiance, Ohio-based First Defiance Financial Corp. dropped 3.04% to $48.19 and shares of Brooklyn, N.Y.-based Dime Community Bancshares Inc. lost 2.57% to $18.95. Late on Aug. 10, the company announced that it had gained approval to be a Small Business Administration lender.

Effects of prostaglandins and leukotrienes on hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction in rats
To investigate the effects of prostaglandins (PGs) and leukotrienes (LTs) on hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV),in vivo rats experiment andin vitro perfused lung experiment were conducted. The effect of hypoxia on hemodynamics, concentrations of TXB2 and 6-keto-PGF14 in serum and lung tissue during hypoxia and effects of PGs and LTs on HPV were observed. The results showed that pulmonary arterial pressure (Ppa) and pulmonary vascular resistance were increased during hypoxia, but cardiac output and systemic arterial pressure were decreased. There were increases of the concentrations of TXB2 and 6-keto-PGF14 and their ratio in serum and lung tissue during hypoxia. After use of cyclooxygenase inhibitor (indomethacin)in vivo andin vitro, HPV was augmented respectively, but after use of lipoxygenase inhibitor (diethylcorbamazine) or leukotriene receptor blocker (LY-171883), HPV was attenuated. It was suggested that LTs mediated pulmonary vasoconstriction, PGs inhibited pulmonary vasoconstriction and they played a modulating role during hypoxia.

Before starting the work, you must first understand the type and parameters of the optical cable (cross-sectional area, structure, diameter, unit weight, nominal tensile strength, etc.), the type and parameters of the hardware, and the manufacturer of the optical cable and hardware. Understand the distribution of optical cables, the specific content is how many reels, the use range of towers for each reel, the length of the line and the length of the reel. 1 Transportation and storage of optical cables Optical cables are packaged in all-wood or iron-wood structure optical cable reels. On both sides of the disk are marked: disk number, cable length, project name, rolling direction and other signs. 1.2 Handling precautions for optical cables Matters needing attention when handling the optical cable are marked on one side of the optical cable packaging plate, as shown in the figure below. 1.3 Transportation of optical cable The optical cable reel must be loaded and unloaded with special vehicles (crane, forklift), and the cable reel should be upright during loading and unloading to avoid damage to the packaged wire rod. It is strictly forbidden to manually push down from the car directly. The length of the single-reel optical cable is generally relatively long, and the optical cable is heavy. The cable reel must be firmly fixed before transportation to ensure that the cable reel will not roll and vibrate randomly during transportation. The cable reel must be upright during transportation, and the cable head should be fixed to prevent the optical cable from loosening. All the wire rods and protection devices must be removed after the optical cable arrives at the construction site for installation. 1.4 Storage of optical cables The optical cable packaging reel contains wood material. In order to make the optical cable unfold safely and smoothly, the following matters should be paid attention to during storage: 1) The optical cable should be stored in a dry and ventilated place, and the place where the optical cable is placed should be flat and solid. touch the optical cable) to prevent the cable drum from being damaged after rolling and collision. 2) Effective measures should be taken in the optical cable storage site to prevent the damage of moths and other harmful insects to wood. 3) In seasons with more rain, a rain-proof cloth should be covered on the optical cable reel to avoid deformation and decay of the optical cable reel after long-term rain, and necessary ventilation should be paid attention to when storing indoors. 4) In the dry season, the wood may dry and shrink after the optical cable reels are stacked for a long time. If possible, soak the optical cable in water one day before the exhibition. The structure of the "power optical cable" optical cable directly affects the transmission quality of the communication system. | [

Art can be wonderfully relaxing and fulfilling, but it can also be incredibly frustrating. If you've ever tried to draw a friend's portrait or paint nature's beauty with any degree of accuracy or realism, you know that it is very, very difficult. The challenge is to replicate what you see, as opposed to what your brain tells you that you are seeing.
Sometimes our brains are too smart for our own good. For example, what colors of paint would you reach for in order to paint the lighthouse in this image?
My brain is telling me that the lighthouse is actually white (with red accents), correcting for the fact that it is nighttime in the photograph. But if you want to paint the lighthouse as it appears at night, you need to reach for Paint B, the lavender. I sampled that shade directly from the right-hand side of the photograph. The lighthouse doesn't look lavender, but it is.
Experiment with this by painting your own version of a lighthouse. While watercolor paper or a canvas might be your preferred surfaces for painting, this project works well on inexpensive black construction paper. That means this is an affordable project for the classroom or another group where canvases would be prohibitively expensive.
Construction Paper Lighthouse Painting
- black construction paper
- empty box
- construction paper scraps
- white mist
- acrylic paint
- flat brush
- paint palette (frisbee!)
Place a piece of black construction paper in the empty box. Arrange scraps of construction paper over it so that only a narrow 'beam' of black is exposed. Spray this area lightly with the white mist. (I used Mr. Huey. This link and and the other in this post are affiliate links.)
Remove the scraps and you're left with the beam of light shining from what will be the lighthouse. I wasn't careful enough covering the black and ended up with a thin white horizon line that I hadn't intended. No problem - that just determined where my water line would be.
Use a pencil to draw the outline of the lighthouse. Add a water line if you didn't accidentally end up with one!
Add paint to your palette. Remember, no white! No red either. The challenge is to paint what you see without the corrections your brain is trying to make. I used one color by Testors (Hazey) and four by Folk Art (Lavender, Licorice, Berry Wine, and Thunder Blue).
Now, the MOST important thing about painting on construction paper: No water. None. Do not start with a moist brush, do not rinse your brush, do not use any water at any point. If you just use acrylic paint, the cheap construction paper will hold up just fine through dozens of layers of paint. But use a moist brush and it will disintegrate.
With a DRY brush, use the lavender to shape the lighthouse you sketched. Add bits of blue and grey to add highlights and shadows horizontally. Do not rinse your brush between colors! Just keep adding layers of paint. You want the colors to blend. If you're not happy with how it looks, add another layer. Then another and another until you are.
Use the Berry Wine to paint the red portions of the lighthouse. Details aren't important - just add the shapes. Add a little Licorice to the brush, turn it vertically, and dab in the windows at the top of the lighthouse. Then add shadows below each of the'red' areas.
Now add the land the lighthouse is sitting on. Just keep layering colors.
Do not be tempted to rinse the brush! Part of what makes the painting more realistic is the depth that comes from using multiple colors.
Make short horizontal strokes to create the ocean. This will take a lot of layers to look realistic. Highlight the area of the water where the lighthouse's beam is shining.
This is how mine turned out. Not a masterpiece by any means, but a decent representation of a lighthouse at night. And a lot of fun to create.
I found a great resource for fun facts about lighthouses. I was researching which US state has the most lighthouses (Michigan is #1, Maine is #2) and learned so much more. Enjoy! | [
