This action aims to develop strategies for organization of supply, logistics, distribution, purchasing, certification of fishery products and aquaculture, capable of supporting innovative sectors and oriented to new forms of responsible consumption. To achieve this goal the dynamics of economic development of the fisheries and aquaculture sector, in areas and districts, are studied especially in relation to the role of innovation. Strategies for multi-stakeholder involvement (MSI) are tested involving fishermen, industry, institutions, research, local communities and consumers in more sustainable management of the fisheries and aquaculture sectors. The consideration of fisheries economic component is also an important factor in the process of scenario analysis.

The official teaser site of Dragon Ball Game Project Age 2011 mentions the game will be the most realistic Dragon Ball game to date, making players feel like they are the actual characters Thanks to Kinect this game will be on rails=/ I guess I was hoping too much in thinking it might be an RPG... I hope this is decent, I might pick it up when it's cheap. If it's big new feature is motion control though, I'll pass on it altogether.

Visits to the Observatorio del Roque de Los Muchachos are all year around. This summer, from 15th June, they will be on a daily basis, whereas the rest of the year will remain only four days: tuesdays, fridays, saturdays and sundays. Visits will be scheduled at 9:30 and 11:30 in the morning. There will be no visits (or stargazing) at night as only personnel are allowed inside the facilities during the night. If you are interested in a stargazing activity check out our tours. In recent years, visiting the Observatory has become one of the highlights in La Palma for the sights but also because hardly any facilities of this kind and relevance are open for visits. After a general introduction, the visit continues inside one of the professional telescope buildings such as Gran Telescopio de Canarias (right now the largest single mirror telescope on the visual range on Earth), William Herschel Telescope, Telescopio Nazionale Galileo. For visiting the facilites, please book your tickets. For further info contact us at email@example.com.

The basics of sw418 slot machines have been around for decades. While early machines may have had as few as 10 stops on each reel, modern slots often have thirty or fifty. This increases the potential for a large jackpot. The more stops on a reel, the more chance there is for a player to win. In theory, any stop on a slot machine has a one in ten chance of landing on a winning combination. Stepper motors operate the reels Stepper motors are used in slot machines to control the speed and position of the reels. They are an energy-efficient and high-precision technology that improves payouts. Stepper motors are especially useful in slot machines with multiple reels. The machines that use stepper motors have more sophisticated mechanisms than the conventional ones and are also more complicated. Stepper motors are essentially a combination of a rotor and a winding stator. The former has a rotor that consists of several teeth, while the latter is made of a single, round piece of iron. Stepper motors work by passing a DC current through the stator windings. As the current flows through the rotor, the windings become magnetized. The rotor teeth are then drawn toward the energized poles of the stator. Random number generator A random number generator (PRNG) is the heart of a slot machine. It determines the pay out rate and hit frequency. This means that you cannot predict the outcome of a spin unless you understand the PRNG. Even if you know what symbols are likely to show up, this information is useless. Moreover, your familiarity with a machine’s symbols will not help you beat its odds. The odds of winning a game are random, and you cannot change them with tricks. A random number generator works by randomly selecting numbers within a given range. It then divides those numbers into smaller parts using a formula, and the remainder represents a stop on the reels. Unlike other machines, the RNG will never be affected by previous wins or losses. Multi-line slot machines Multi-line slots are those that have multiple paylines and many ways to win. Most multi-line slots assess betting lines from left to right, but some have additional directions. This allows players to bet in a way that maximizes their winning potential. In some cases, multi-line slots have as many as 243 ways to win. Some games also have bonus features, such as free spins and multipliers. The paylines on multi-line slot machines are important because they determine the odds of triggering bonus features. These paylines have evolved from the traditional horizontal lines to jagged shapes and zigzag patterns. The best way to understand multi-line slots is to read the pay table before playing them. Weighting determines how likely a particular stop is to be picked You may be wondering what weighting means and how it affects slot machine payouts. Weighting is the statistical measure that determines the probability of a particular stop being picked on a slot machine. Slot machines have multiple stops, and when this number is increased, it may make the slot stop paying. This is not the intended behavior of slot machines. When you play slot machines, you’re essentially playing against the house. The house advantage is calculated on a percentage basis. This means that for every $100 you wager, you’re expected to lose at least one cent. Of course, other factors like speed of play, skill, and how long you play can affect your total loss. Therefore, it’s important to know the rules of each game before you play. This way, you’ll be able to minimize the house advantage and increase your chances of winning. Slot machines are one of the most popular forms of gambling in casinos. Like all other casino games, they have a house advantage. Some take as little as 1% of your bet, while others take as much as 15%. It’s important to know how to calculate house advantage, but it’s not always easy. One method is to use an R script, which shows you the mathematical equations.

2009 was a weird year for me. For the first time in my life, I didn’t have to go to school. I had moved away from my mom’s place and was living with some guy I met off Craigslist. I could go to bars (legally), I was working a dead-end job that barely covered my bills and I didn’t do much but party. People called me a Fungi. I couldn’t tell you a single game or movie that came out that year as I was to focused on being out till 6 in the morning every night dancing to some guy wearing a mouse head that we called Dead Mau Five. It was also my last year living in Vancouver before I hopped on a plane and headed to Toronto. My year of partying meant I missed out on a lot of good games like Uncharted 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Assassin’s Creed II, Minecraft, Prototype, Borderlands and the PSexclusiveve Mushroom Wars. Mushroom Wars was included in IGN‘s “Top 25 PSN Games” list that year. It received an 82/100 score on Metacritic and was given “Honorable Mentions” on Gamasutra. Of the games I mentioned before I’ve conquered them all, except for Mushroom Wars. Thankfully it was released on Steam back in April of this year and I could finally dive into this colorful real-time strategy game where smart strategy meets furious action in epic PvP and PvE battles. With some many games out this summer, it’s hard to find Mushroom to pay attention to the little guys, I get it, you don’t have time for Shittake but Mushroom Wars is worth your time. And from here on out I promise to lay off the Mushroom puns. Mushroom Wars starts off easy enough for the first few battles but once it lets you fight on your own things get hard fast. Who knew being the General of the Mushroom Army would be so hard? Who knew I’d be writing about mushrooms and not talking about a Mario game? 2016 is weird. The game is simple enough, you are a fearless commander and skillful strategist and your role is to battle opposing tribes, capture and hold settlements, defensive towers, and armories, and increase the size of your Mushroom forces and win the battle. It’s simplistic and straightforward and it makes for an easy game to pick up for a couple of minutes and feel satisfied. It’s an easy enough game to grasp yet it’s tough to master. There is no story mode here which is a shame because I’d love to get to know these little shrooms. Watching them jump for joy when they capture an armory brings a smile to my face every time. These jumps are paired with small cheers and noises that work well with the easy breezy music. Upon first playing the game I wasn’t even aware it came out 7 years ago. The visuals are finely polished and it handles great. The five-hour campaign spans 28 different missions with three difficulty levels. Also included are twelve skirmish levels, each of which can be played in Domination, King of the Hill and Conquest. There’s also 6 multiplayer maps that you can play against another person. The computer’s AI did a great job switching it up and keeping me guessing as I worked my way through the same maps over and over again. It would be have been nice to have a map editor, and perhaps we will see one in the sequel that is slated for later this year. I enjoyed playing through the campaign and was shocked at how much harder the game got after level 10. Your little mushrooms are outnumbered and you really got to think on your feet. I found myself Button Mushrooming (SORRY) through levels and I learned how to properly distract the enemy. Send a few to die heroically to take the advantage. This isn’t exactly an overly complicated strategy and if you’re a hardcore RTS fan there isn’t much for you here. But if you’re like me and like a more laid back real-time strategy game where you are constantly losing I’d highly suggest Mushroom Wars. It’s simple and has a broad appeal and it’s charming as hell. Now bring on Mushroom Wars 2, I might even eat some (magic) mushrooms while I play and live stream the game to Twitch if you dare me.

Neurofibromatosis: Symptoms and Treatments Neurofibromatosis is a rare genetic disorder that usually manifests itself with the presence of dermatological (skin) lesions and / or involvement of the nervous system. There are no symptoms of neurofibromatosis. several ways in which neurofibromatosis can manifest in the nervous system, sometimes benign or malignant, but usually this is due to the finding of tumors that can compromise hearing, vision, motor, language, among others. These tumors are known as gliomas, meningiomas, or schwannomas. Types of Neurofibromatosis - Neurofibromatosis type 1 : most frequent, beginning in childhood and resulting from a mutation (genetic alteration) in chromosome 17. Levi coffee-and-milk stain on the skin of the affected person, in addition to the fibroids that are tumors that grow as nodules from the lower layers of the skin - Neurofibromatosis type 2 : less common, due to genetic alterations in chromosome 22 and usually manifests with hearing impairment due to the growth of benign tumors in the vestibulocochlear nerve, which is responsible for hearing. Symptoms of Neurofibromatosis Symptoms of neurofibromatosis will depend on the type of disease and the presence or absence of tumors in the system nervousness beyond skin changes. There may be large variations between individuals, some with many symptoms and others with almost no symptoms from the disease. In cases of Neurofibromatosis type 1, the most common symptoms are brown spots on the skin, small lumps under the skin, and development, and deformation of bones. In cases of Neurofibromatosis type 2, the most common symptoms are balance difficulties, gradual reduction of vision or hearing, spinal problems such as scoliosis and vision and hearing problems. Unfortunately, there is still no cure for neurofibromatosis, but the sooner it is detected, the easier it will be to follow this patient, since any symptom will be readily identified (be it neurological, cutaneous or other segment of the body), and the possibility of some treatment may be offered with a better chance of benefit. A survey conducted by the Caledonian University of Glasgow, Scotland, pointed out a new, more effective way to wash your hands. Earlier, it was believed that the best way to sanitize hands was with a method that involved three steps. However, this new study showed that a six-step method is even more effective. Do you snore?

A buffer solution, consisting of "weak acid and its conjugate base" or "weak base and its conjugate acid," can slow down the pH change when adding a certain amount of other substances. One of the most commonly used buffer solutions in biological experiments is PBS, which is composed of Na2HPO4 and KH2PO4 buffer pairs and has a strong buffering capacity within the pH range of 5.8-8.0. In order to ensure that the buffer solution has enough buffering capacity, when preparing the buffer solution, the following should be done: To achieve a concentration ratio of the conjugate acid-base pair close to 1, an appropriate buffer pair should be selected based on the pH range that needs to be maintained, and the pKa of the weak acid in the buffer pair should be equal to or close to the required pH. For example, if a buffer solution with a pH of 7.0 is needed in a biological culture medium, H2PO4- and HPO42- can be selected as suitable buffer pairs as H2PO4- has a pKa2 of 7.21. If a buffer solution with a pH of 9.0 is required, NH3·H2O-NH4Cl buffer pair (pKa(NH4+) = 9.25) can be selected. It can be seen that the pKa of the weak acid is the main basis for selecting a buffer solution. The table lists several commonly used buffer solutions. The acid that is commonly used as a buffer solution consists of a weak acid and its conjugate acid salt, which has buffering effect. The common buffer systems are: A weak acid and its salt (such as HAc—NaAc) A weak base and its salt (NH3·H2O—NH4Cl) The aqueous solution composed of the acid salt of a multi-weak acid and its corresponding secondary salt (such as NaH2PO4—Na2HPO4). Buffered electrolyte salts, such as the Tris (tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane) system, carbonate, citric acid, phosphoric acid, acetic acid, and barbituric acid, are typically employed as buffer solutions in the realm of biological products. When choosing a buffer system in biochemical experiments or research work, it should be carefully selected because sometimes the factor that affects the experimental results is not the pH value of the buffer solution, but some kind of ion in the buffer solution. Buffering agents such as borate, citrate, phosphate, and Tris can all cause unwanted chemical reactions. Borate: Borate forms complex salts with many compounds, such as sucrose. Citrate: Citrate ions are prone to bind with calcium, so it cannot be used when there is calcium ion present. Phosphate: It is an enzyme inhibitor or even a metabolite in some experiments, and heavy metals can easily precipitate from the solution in the form of phosphate. And its buffering capacity is very low above pH 7.5. The role of a buffer solution, including the tromethamine tris buffer, is to adjust the pH of the solution within a limited range, so that the acidity of the sample solution meets the range specified by the analysis method. For example, phenol can react with 4-aminodiphenylamine to form orange-red azodye in the presence of an alkaline medium and iron cyanide, and a pH of 10.0 ± 0.2 is most suitable to prevent interference from aromatic amine. Therefore, a buffer solution is added to the sample solution to adjust and control the pH of the sample solution to 10.0 ± 0.2. In practical work, some analysts, due to their lack of understanding of the mechanism of buffer solution, use strong acid or strong base solutions such as hydrochloric acid or sodium hydroxide to adjust the pH of the buffer solution to the required value when the prepared and used buffer solution does not match the specified value, thinking that this can quickly bring the buffer solution to the desired pH value. However, the result is just the opposite—although the pH value of the solution is adjusted correctly, its buffer system is destroyed, and it loses its buffering effect. AVT has launched a new product, Tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (TRIS) (registered with CDE and DMF), which has advantages such as high purity, low impurities, GMP production, domestically-stable supply, and high cost performance.

I saw the sweetest movie this weekend. It was a story about a kid who got everyone in town to adopt a dog from the shelter over the Christmas holiday, so the poor animals didn’t spend those special days alone. Obviously, it wasn’t just the animals who benefitted, but the humans as well. With all of these gift guides and holiday wish lists running amok, what is better than giving the gift of unconditional love? That is what animals are. It is very likely that hundreds in your own city need homes. If you are single this holiday, enhance your own life with a little dog or cat. If you are single and always working – adopt a senior pup or kitty – who will likely sleep the day away. They will be grateful just to cozy up to you in the evenings. Animals bring us so much joy – and that is what this season is all about. Other reasons to adopt a pet: You will take them on walks, which keeps you moving – and healthy. They lower your blood pressure (except maybe when they rip apart your shoes). They are a great conversation starter/way to meet new people at the local dog park (really!). They teach us responsibility – and that life isn’t all about us! Make sure if you give your partner an adopted animal over the holiday – that they indeed want one. If they don’t, be prepared to take on the responsibility yourself.

Array coil imaging is a popular technique in whole-body MRI systems but has seldom been implemented in vertical bore high-field magnets. In this work, three transmit-receive phased arrays for 1H, 23Na, and 31P were built to examine the feasibility of using these arrays at the magnetic field strength of 17.6 Tesla. The coils were designed for in vivo applications on mice and rats with an inner diameter of 38 mm. Each array consisted of two surface coils. The decoupling of adjacent coils was achieved by a variable decoupling capacitor on the common conductor of the two surface-coils. The coils can be driven simultaneously to provide an area of relatively high transmit homogeneity using a relative phase shift between the coils. The area with best homogeneity changes, depending on this phase shift. Images were simultaneously acquired with two receivers and showed essentially no coupling between the two channels. The arrays provide an SNR-gain compared to a single-channel birdcage-volume resonator of up to 34% near the surface. The arrays are most suitable for objects near the coils with a penetration depth of up to 20 mm (e.g., the spinal cord or the brain of a rat). \|Number of pages \|Concepts in Magnetic Resonance Part B: Magnetic Resonance Engineering \|Published - Feb 2006 All Science Journal Classification (ASJC) codes - Radiological and Ultrasound Technology - Radiology Nuclear Medicine and imaging - Physical and Theoretical Chemistry	[ "MRI technology", "Whole-body MRI", "High-field magnets", "Phased arrays", "Magnetic resonance imaging", "Radiofrequency coils", "Transmit-receive arrays", "Surface coils", "Decoupling capacitors", "SNR gain", "Imaging techniques", "Medical imaging", "Animal imaging", "Biomedical engineeri...

I Want A Pug! How To Find A Reputable Pug Breeder In Your Area! So you want a pug…good for you! I must admit that they are cute little dogs with loads of personality. Before I get into the world of Pug Breeders I feel that it is my obligation to let you know that there are many Pug rescue groups in the United States (you never know, there may be one in your neck of the woods) and all of them have Pugs waiting for their forever homes. With that being said, I do understand that many people prefer to purchase a puppy from a breeder. Say "NO!" to Puppy Mills! Finding a REPUTABLE and RESPONSIBLE breeder is so very important! After all, you wouldn’t want to give your hard earned money to a puppy mill! A poor breeder is more concerned about making money than they are about the health and happiness of their puppies. So how can you tell the difference between a good breeder and a bad breeder? I’m glad you asked! First of all, NEVER buy a puppy from a pet store. Unfortunately, most pet stores get their puppies from puppy farms (also known as puppy mills). When you buy a puppy from a pet store you will know NOTHING about the conditions from which it came. For example: - Has the puppy received any socialization training? - What were the pup’s parents like? Temperaments? - Any hereditary conditions to be concerned about? Along with not knowing anything about the dog’s history, many pet stores harbor diseases that are spread from one animal to the next. Unfortunately, as I mentioned before, most puppy mill dogs end up in pet stores. A reputable, responsible breeder would NEVER sell their pups to a store. Why? Well for one thing, responsible breeders want to be sure that their pups are going to good homes. Homes in which they will be cared for and well loved. My friend Jennifer purchased a puppy from a pet store and she ended up with a sick dog, huge veterinarian bills and plenty of heartache. Fortunately, Jennifer’s puppy survived. However, I can’t say the same for her bank account! Finding a GOOD Pug Breeder! So how do you find a good breeder? The best place to start is the AKC (The American Kennel Club). The AKC not only supports responsible breeders, they also offer on-going education programs (to make good breeders even better!). They have also developed wonderful resources that benefit not only the breeder, but the buyer as well. The AKC allows breeders to officially register their puppies and if they wish, keep online records. They also sell supplies such as “puppy folders.” Once you have the name of a reputable Pug breeder….there is still work to be done and questions to be asked! I have always said...knowledge is power! The more you know about the breeder…the better! Questions to Ask the Pug Breeder - How long has the breeder been breeding Pugs? - Why Pugs? What is it about the breed they like so much? - Why do they breed (to make money or for the love of the dog!)? - What happens if you need to return the puppy? Most breeders will insist that the dog be returned to them if a problem should arise. In fact, most, if not all, state this in their contracts. - Can you contact the breeder if you need pug puppy advice? Most breeders encourage you to contact them if you need assistance. After all, they CARE about their dogs and want them to thrive in their new homes. - Where will the Pug pups be raised prior to going to their new homes? Personally, I would only purchase a Pug that was kept inside (not in an outdoor kennel). Dogs that are kept outside are not exposed to “everyday” situations such as the vacuum cleaner, the dishwasher or even a ringing phone. If possible, you want to purchase a Pug pup that is well adjusted to indoor living. - Can you meet the Pug pup’s parents? Are the parents free of defects (such as hemivertebrae…a serious condition that affects Pugs)? Questions the Breeder Should Ask YOU! A good Pug breeder will not only answer all of the questions that you ask…they will have a few questions of their own that you must answer. After all, they want to make sure that their precious Pugs are going to the best possible homes (don’t be surprised if they wish to do a home visit!). They will want to know things such as: - Do you have children? If so, how old are they? Small children need to be taught how to handle and play	[ "Dog breeding", "Responsible breeding", "Pug breeders", "Pet adoption", "Puppy mills", "American Kennel Club", "Breeding ethics", "Pug temperament", "Pug health issues", "Puppy selection", "Puppy contract", "Home visits", "Pug parent meeting", "Socialization training", "Puppy folder", ...

Any type of chemical substance contributed to an auto fuel resource, either with the carburetor or various other components of the gas distribution system, is legally classified as gas ingredients. In order for such additives to be lawful they require to be according to the policies set out by the US Environmental Firm. This implies that any kind of chemical substance that modifies the characteristics of gas requires to have a valid factor for doing so. Such compounds are likewise known as gas ingredients. They can consist of such additives as anti-freeze, gas stabilizers, gels as well as fuels, hydrocarbons as well as lubricating substances. Anti-freeze is among the most common additives, utilized to cool the combustion chamber in order to minimize pressure, and enhance lubrication. When heated, it broadens into a liquid, thus developing a protective, crystalline wall in the gas injectors. The crystalline walls avoid metal from getting in the combustion chamber as well as blending with the fuel, decreasing corrosion of the gas injectors as well as piston seals. Carbon down payments are another form of gas ingredients, made use of to enhance the efficiency of diesel engines. These carbon down payments are normally composed of graphite and also can increase the temperature of the burning chamber. As the temperature of the chamber raises, the dimension of the carbon crystals raises, which in turn enhances the efficiency of the diesel motor. One more kind of fuel additives are the octane ranking ingredients. They enhance the octane score of an engine. An engine’s octane ranking is a step of the inner pressure that the engine can hold up against throughout complete burning. Higher numbers imply that an engine can withstand much more warmth as well as pressure, raising the performance. Nevertheless, it also indicates that the engine will certainly create even more exhaust emissions, as the gas is melted faster than the air conditioning radiator can cool down the engine. There are 4 sorts of gas additives. They are oil-based, silicone-based, crystal carbide and also artificial. Each of these has specific uses. Some ingredients are designed to boost the efficiency of certain parts or to improve the lubricity of a part. Others are designed to increase the octane score of a lorry by boosting its hydrostatic stress, which enhances gas effectiveness. Some lorries need fuel ingredients to stabilize their exhausts. In cases such as this, a manufacturer may recommend a particular cleaner combination for a specific engine. Nevertheless, automobile repair shops have adjusted cleanliness and also emissions control approaches that they feel make it unneeded for car repair shops to suggest details cleaners. Instead, several car repair shops supply their clients a formula that they establish jobs best in their particular circumstance. The formula is made to meet the specs of each lorry as well as to provide the consumer with the very best cleaning option. When an engine requires fuel ingredients, the procedure begins by eliminating all the gas from the auto. This includes removing the fuel container, storage tanks, pumps, carburetors and also gas lines. Next off, the fuel is cleansed using a pump or a vacuum. After cleansing, the gas is leveled off and any solvents or additives are removed from the gas mixture. After that, new fuel additives are added to the fuel blend to enhance efficiency. amsoil dealer locator An important factor to consider is that although normal detergents and also unpleasant cleansers work well to eliminate surface area impurities, they can actually strip metal of its lubrication. When an engine requires gas additives, it’s wise to select cleaners that do not remove the lubrication that maintains an auto running efficiently. The right cleaners are ones that leave a clear as well as polished finish on the steel. When an engine goes through fuel additives to improve performance, the maker will make use of one of two various procedures for dealing with the fuel additives. One approach makes use of a pole that’s pressurized; the other utilizes a sprayer. Each technique of therapy creates the development of deposits inside the injector wells, however some kinds cause more accumulation than others. As different kinds of additive treatment to work, the rods holding the additives work more difficult as well as they also operate in a much faster price. These ingredients function by attracting the metal that’s already existing in the combustion chamber to itself, thus lowering friction and also allowing smoother combustion. Additionally, as the ingredients function their method down the injector, they draw little bits of steel into the injector wells. This aids avoid metal from accumulating once again, to make sure that the deposits don’t create once more after a particular period of time. Diesel fuel ingredients decrease the friction that happens when the gas burns. This creates fewer issues when it involves wear and tear on engines, which can create a component to fail. These additives assist to make the fuel last much longer, which increases its resale worth and also it lowers the amount of time that customers need to wait prior to getting gasoline. Some diesel suppliers are presently working with creating diesel fuel additives that do away	[ "Gasoline additives", "Carburetor additives", "Environmental regulations", "Octane enhancers", "Anti-freeze", "Fuel efficiency", "Diesel engine additives", "Metal corrosion prevention", "Hydrocarbon additives", "Silicone-based additives", "Crystal carbide additives", "Artificial additives", ...

BRC – KPMG ONLINE RETAIL SALES MONITOR APRIL 2017 Covering the four weeks 02 April – 29 April 2017 - Online sales of Non-Food products in the UK grew 10.3% in April versus a year earlier, when they fell by 6.6%. This is the fastest growth since November, above the 3-month and 12-month averages of 8.2% and 9.3% respectively. This figure is positively distorted by the timing of Easter. - Over the 3 months to April, Online sales of Non-Food products in the UK grew 8.2% year-on-year, the highest since January. Over the same period, Total Non-Food sales in the UK grew by 0.7%, the first positive 3-month average since January. - In April 2017, Online sales represented 21.6% of total Non-Food sales in the UK, against 21.1% in April 2016. On a 3-month basis, penetration rate was 21.9%. - Over the 3 months to April, Online sales contributed 1.6 percentage points to the year-on-year growth of Total Non-Food sales. In contrast, In-Store sales made a negative 3-month contribution of 0.9 percentage points. In April, Online sales contributed 1.9 percentage points to Non-Food growth. - Over the 3 months to April, In-Store sales fell, posting declines of 1.3% on a total basis and 1.8% on a like-for-like basis. For the month of April, In-Store sales grew, boosted by the timing of Easter, showing their strongest growth since January 2016. Helen Dickinson OBE, Chief Executive, British Retail Consortium “April marked a reversal of the trend of slowing levels of growth for online non-food sales with the strongest annual increase since November. This pick-up was mirrored in the overall non-food figure which was distorted positively by the timing of Easter. “Trendy consumer electronics continue to be online bestsellers, while toys and health and beauty products topped the Easter purchases. “Online continues to account for over a fifth of total non-food sales, but as we’ve seen in previous years, the school holidays boosted family visits to physical shopping destinations over online sites, resulting in the fastest growth for stores since last January. “Looking at the bigger picture, the twelve-month average shows a downward trend in online growth, albeit reversed in April. This points to the significance of retailers’ ongoing efforts to invest in the customer offer across all channels, as they contend with rising cost pressures and dampened consumer spend.” Paul Martin, UK Head of Retail, KPMG “For online retailers who eagerly awaited this year’s late Easter, their patience paid off. Compared to last month’s comparatively low growth, April’s non-food online sales were up by a much healthier 10.3 per cent. “On the other hand, penetration rates in April dipped slightly to 21.6 per cent, adding to the gradual decline noted since the beginning of the year. This month’s decline is most likely the result of shoppers feeling more inclined to hit the high street, helped by the milder weather and the days getting longer. “Easter holidays resulted in a surge of online toy sales to keep the kids entertained. Similarly, the additional free time seemingly prompted shoppers to roll up their sleeves and get stuck into home improvements, with furniture and homeware sales proving popular. “The prominence of online retail is only set to continue, and critical to a retailer’s success will be their ability to effectively combine online and offline sales activities."

More specifically, the present invention is concerned with detecting dual scan threat radar signals and generating in response thereto separate deception signals for transmission back to each antenna of the dual scan tracking radar causing it to detect an inaccurate target position. Radar systems currently in use are typically of the conical scan or dual scan types. The conical scan (CS) radar involves the use of the single antenna system which is either fixed in position or sweeps over a selected path locking onto a target when detected. The dual scan or track-while-scan (TWS) radar typically incorporates two interrelated antenna systems in which one of the antenna is energized at a first frequency and caused to sweep in the horizontal direction while the other antenna is energized at a second frequency and caused to sweep in the vertical direction. Whereas a single channel deception apparatus may be appropriate for use in jamming conical scan systems, such apparatus will only have partial effectiveness against the dual scan type of system since each scan antenna of the dual scan system can independently provide usable range and angle information. In order to provide maximum deception capability a dual channel jamming system is thus clearly more desirable than the single channel system for use against dual scan systems. In addition, power output and jamming effectiveness considerations make dual jamming of dual beam radars desirable. One of the primary difficulties involved in using a single channel jammer to jam a dual channel radar is that traveling-wave tubes (TWT's) of the type used in jamming systems, when operating in the saturation region, have several characteristics that reduce their effectiveness when amplifying two RF frequencies simultaneously. One of these is called the capture effect, in which two frequencies at different power levels will receive different amounts of gain while passing through the traveling-wave tube. The resultant effect is that the signals emerge from the tube with power levels which are more widely separated than they were upon entrance. If the two different power levels are from the main lobe and sidelobe of the two radar beams, the main lobe signal will receive more gain than a sidelobe signal, thus tending to enhance the target rather than obscure it. Another problem encountered in the two frequency operation of a TWT is intermodulation distortion, which tends to mix the two RF frequencies and direct power into various harmonics spread through the spectrum at frequencies separated by the original frequency separation. This has the obvious effect of reducing the power available for the input signals, thus reducing the power output on the proper frequencies. Extreme cases of this phenomenon have been noted where little or no power emerges from the TWT on the frequencies that were put into it. A third result of jamming a dual channel radar with a single channel jammer is that of cross modulation within the jammer itself. Jamming modulation techniques generally depend in some way on detecting the passage of the main lobe and either down-modulating the jammer output during main lobe passage or turning the jammer on fully just after the peak of the main lobe passage. Since electrical signals corresponding to the two beams are in a single channel jammer simultaneously, the jammer inadvertently modulates both channels of the radar when the intent is to modulate just one. The result is to create in the threat receiver a moving dark gap which periodically uncovers the real target. In the case of main lobe offset jamming, a false target is presented which moves across the radar screen at the beat rate of the two beams, but vanishes when the two main lobes cross. These technical difficulties thus lead to the conclusion that separating the radar beams in the jamming system is highly desirable. In addition, beam separation makes available the unobscured individual scans of the radar for observation and manual modulation. It is also worthy of note that jamming is generally more effective when both channels of the radar are jammed instead of just one. This is because the tracking function must use the square root of the sum of the squares of the tracking errors in the three coordinates: azimuth, elevation, and range. Obviously, by increasing the tracking error in two	[ "Radar apparatus", "Deception signals", "Dual scan radar", "Jamming systems", "Conical scan radar", "Traveling-wave tubes", "Intermodulation distortion", "Cross modulation", "Beam separation", "Main lobe detection", "Electromagnetic warfare", "Military technology", "Electronic countermeasure...

It’s not easy to live life without regrets. It’s much easier to wonder sometimes about the “what ifs” and “if onlys”. Regret is a sadness or disappointment over what happened or didn’t happen in the past. “What might have been?” I can ask myself. “I could have been a better son, friend, husband, father and coworker. I might have made so much more with my life.” If we don’t stop the internal conversation it can lead to the vicious spiral of depression, more regret and relapse. “The best time to plant a tree was 30 years ago. The second best time to plant one is today.” The gift of the Serenity Prayer is acceptance of what we cannot change. One of those things is the past. I know that my life would be very different today had I taken another road in the past. I was in a relationship that wasn’t working and hadn’t been working for a lot of years. I knew it, but I lacked the courage and strength to leave. In the end, I was the one who was left behind. I can’t take back those years. I can’t go back in time and change them. So what do I do so as not to live in regret? I have to accept what happened. I accept that my Higher Power was looking after me during that time and continues to do so. I accept that I had challenges to overcome and some lessons to learn. It’s not easy to learn to forgive oneself for roads not taken but I must. Steps four through nine help us to work through regret. So yes, things did or didn’t happen in the past and today I don’t have to regret those things. Rather I can use them as teaching tools for the present. I prefer to look at all that happened in the past was needed to bring me to who I am today. And I know that what happens today will lead me on to who I am to be tomorrow. I’m learning to trust the process of the program and my Higher Power. Today can I plant that tree I didn’t in the past without guilt, without remorse and without regret. It’s important for me to remember that: “We will not regret the past or wish to shut the door on it,” is a Ninth Step promise. I have to work all the steps that come before. There aren’t short cuts. Living the steps isn’t all that difficult but it does take persistence. I don’t get a vacation from being in recovery. I live in recovery 24 hours a day. So today I will plant a tree. It may be a while before it bears fruit, but an unplanted tree never will. Trust the process. It works when you work it!

Main Motorcycle: '17 Thrux R Join Date: May 2011 Location: Maple Ridge, B.C., Canada Other Motorcycle: '02 Bonnie (set free) Only had 40 years of riding but also the best bike I've owned. Over the years have had faster bikes but the highest compliment I can give the Thruxton is it never scares me at speed on twisty roads. Always feel in control. I wish I could rotate the bars ever so slightly forward, but other than that it's a comfortable bike, never mind comfortable "for a sport bike". Also wish it put out 100 hp at the rear wheel and came tubeless from the factory but the former is human nature talking and the latter can (and will be) addressed.

Candle Reculver GPS 12’ 0”E Picked on 23rd july 2014 / Sunny Day – 270ml With waves smashing into the sea defenses below sits a ruined abbey, graveyard and wild, overgrown fields. Remnants of more recent uses are now overgrown and covered over with blackberries, raspberries and sea lavender. The salt water spraying up onto the path and the grass leaves small puddles so that the smell of the sea is carried by the wind to mix with the berries, flowers and wild parsley to create a fragrance that is fresh, but shows the history that surrounds this place in every direction. There is a feeling here of something that was once important and loved but has now been given back to nature to heal and be washed away, into the sea.

Cryptocurrency is a fascinating, unique, and relatively new alternative currency that provides an alternative investment for investors who are interested in something outside of stocks or bonds. There are many things that make cryptocurrencies different. As noted by the financial experts at SoFi, “Crypto is decentralized, meaning that it is not controlled by a central authority like a bank or government and instead is exchanged person-to-person.” As such, if you want to buy crypto, you have to be prepared for a new type of currency. Many people are familiar with Bitcoin, but Bitcoin is one of several types of cryptocurrencies on the market today. Indeed, if you are interested in buying crypto, you have a lot of options. Here’s a look at 4 other types of cryptocurrencies you can buy in 2021. BTC – Bitcoin BTC, short for Bitcoin, is arguably the most well-known type of cryptocurrency. At the moment, 1 BTC is equal to almost $35,000, an astonishingly high number. The currency is very volatile – indeed, it is arguably one of the most volatile forms of currency on the market today. As such, it is important to realize that purchasing Bitcoin comes with a huge degree of risk. However, if that risk is something that you can tolerate, the rewards can be massive. Indeed, one year ago, Bitcoin was worth roughly $8,600 – meaning that you could have scored a 400% return on investment if you had purchased today. Bitcoin’s notoriety and popularity mean that quite a few people are looking at this crypto – but it also comes with ample opportunities to purchase and make real money. LTC – Litecoin There are many alternative forms of cryptocurrency to invest in. One such example is LTC, which is short for Litecoin. Litecoin has been on the market since 2011, and it was started as another cryptocurrency to purchase for people who weren’t necessarily interested in Bitcoin. For investors interested in cryptocurrencies, but not the same degree of volatility, Litecoin may provide a great alternative. At the moment, one Litecoin will cost you around $142. It has moved significantly in the past year, starting the year at $57 before reaching its current mark. To be clear, the $142 is not its peak value – it was once as high as $178 before dropping to its current price. The coin also has some advantages over Bitcoin. The block is processed more often, allowing for faster transactions. Furthermore, it’s growth is separate from Bitcoin. This is good, as it provides an alternative investment vehicle for investors who want to purchase some sort of cryptocurrency but are worried about Bitcoin. ETH – Ethereum ETH is short for Etherum, another type of cryptocurrency. Like the others, it is sold via the open-source blockchain. This blockchain helps to protect investors from security issues. Etherum is very popular, with the second-highest market capitalization – second only to Bitcoin itself. It has been available for purchase since 2015. It is more expensive than LTC, with 1 Etherum coin costing $1,253. However, one year ago, one coin cost around $160 – the return here, of course, is massive. This currency has shown major volatility in the past year as well. However, if you can stomach this volatility, Etherum might be a good alternative investment. ADA – Cardano Cardano has an interesting history – it was built by a group of crypto experts, mathematicians, and engineers as a way to create an alternative to Ethereum. It’s founder specifically broke away from Ethereum. It is a much, much newer form of currency. While this means you can get in on the ground floor, it is important to realize that it’s newness means you may be able to get in on the ground floor. One year ago, 1 coin sold for around $.03 – today, that number has risen to $.33. The low price is a good thing: You can invest in a good amount of Cardano without facing a tremendous level of risk. Cryptocurrencies are new and risky. However, if you can tolerate that risk, it is very possible for you to make a huge return on investment with a cryptocurrency purchase. Just make sure that you use the right app and take security extremely seriously when making this purchase.

India’s 2016 high jump bronze medal-winning Paralympian, Varun Singh Bhati (Varun Bhati), has spoken up against the pay disparity between para-athletes and able-bodied athletes. Bhati’s home state, Uttar Pradesh, recently announced a reward of INR. 10 lakh for all the ten athletes from the state who competed at the 2020 Tokyo Paralympics. This was a pale show of the INR. 25 lakh, which the Olympians from the state received. Varun Singh Bhati took to his personal Twitter handle to express his displeasure on the disparity. “Once again discrimination against Paralympians in Uttar Pradesh. While the Olympic participants got INR. 24 lakh, the participants of Paralympics are given only INR. 10 lakh. Please help spread this message to a wider audience,” he tweeted. Having won the bronze medal in the 2016 Paralympics, Varun Bhati finished sixth in Tokyo after failing to go past the 1.80m mark. “Yet to receive 1 crore from 2016” While this might just be an issue of discrimination, there is something bigger that forced Bhati to speak up today. The 26-year-old is yet to receive the prize money he was promised after winning the bronze medal at Rio Paralympics five years back. Bhati made another tweet and accused UP government of not fulfilling the promise made five years ago after he won bronze medal at Rio Olympics in 2016. Bhati tweeted, “I’m yet to receive the cash prize promised to me for the bronze medal I won in 2016 Rio Olympics and again this discrimination.”	[ "Paralympic athlete", "Discrimination", "Olympic athlete", "Uttar Pradesh", "Sports funding", "Rio 2016 Paralympics", "Tokyo 2020 Paralympics", "Social media activism", "Prize money", "Government promises", "Para-athlete rights", "Sports inequality", "Twitter campaign", "Indian sports", ...

Jan 04, 2017 By Jane Brown It was a dangerous night to be a pedestrian in Toronto. There were 3 separate collisions involving pedestrians; at Westmore and Finch, The West Mall and Rathburn and at Overlea and Thorncliffe. Those three incidents were in addition to a morning collision yesterday at Sherbourne and The Esplanade when an elderly woman was hit, leaving her with critical injuries. “The more alarming number that we’re looking at wrapping up is the number of pedestrians that are involved, namely seniors, the older more experience members of our community that are getting hit and fatally injured,” said Sergeant Brett Moore to Zoomer Radio’s Fight Back with Libby Znaimer. Road safety has been named a priority issue at Toronto City Hall after 2016, when 43 pedestrians were killed on city streets. That’s the highest number of pedestrian deaths since 2002. Barbara Gray is the city’s new Transportation Chief. She comes to our city from Seattle with plans to improve safety for everyone on the roads. “My goal that is in Toronto, like in Seattle, we would have the opportunity to share the roads as safely as we can and people would have a reliable trip regardless of what mode you choose,” Gray explained. Gray will be a guest on Zoomer Radio’s Fight Back with Libby Znaimer on Thursday. A new five year, 80 million dollar safety plan was announced lat year. It includes lowering speed limits on the main streets in the downtown core, implementing longer pedestrian walk times at key intersections, and more senior safety zones.

Your Chevrolet dealership isn't the only place to buy trusted parts to repair your Prizm. Keeping the interiors of our cars and trucks cool and comfortable has been possible since HVAC was pioneered around 70 years ago. On your Chevrolet Prizm, the main component of this system is the A/C compressor. The air conditioning uses a refrigerant called R134a to fuel a thermal reaction that emits cold air, and the Chevrolet Prizm A/C compressor, as the name would suggest, gets this reaction started by compressing the refrigerant into a hot fluid. After that it goes to an expansion valve that turns it into a gas so it can flow through the evaporator. That cools it so it can emit cold air. Without the A/C compressor, you would not be able to cool your vehicle on hot days. When your Chevrolet needs a top quality replacement A/C Compressor, there's no need to go somewhere besides the authority, Car Parts Discount. Trust in the value of the parts you get from carpartsdiscount.com and save time and money on all your upcoming repairs.

6 WAYS YOU ARE DESTROYING YOUR CHILD’S CONFIDENCE Make sure you are not doing these six things that harm your child. We all want our children to grow up feeling loved, appreciated and confident in who they are. We often forget that, while confidence may take years to master, it takes only a few blunt or careless words to shatter. Here are six ways you could be harming your child’s self-esteem: - Judging their preferences Your child is an individual human in a world of many people. They are unique. As such, don’t criticize your child’s passions and interests, even if they are different from yours. Signing them up for music lessons to get them to try something new is never a bad choice, but forcing them to keep taking lessons even when they don’t enjoy them is a surefire way to put intense pressure on them and sabotage their confidence. Let your child indulge in the things they are passionate about. Be sure they try new things, but never force them to be someone they are not. - Comparing them “You should try to be more like your sister” is one of the most damaging sentences you could ever say. Even if one of your children has a calmer demeanor or is easier to raise, telling your child to be like the “better” sibling is another way of saying you don’t like who that child is as a person. If anything, compare your child with himself. If you notice that your son is getting better at behaving, point that out or kindly remind a screaming child how impressed you were the last time he made it through the grocery store without throwing a fit. - Being overprotective Every parent worries for their children’s safety, but there is a point when being protective crosses the line. When you are constantly hovering over your child and protecting them from every form of harm or danger, how will they learn to fend for themselves? The truth is, you cannot shield them forever, and growth and development come from experiencing and venturing out into the world. Always swooping in to save the day will teach your children they don’t have the courage or strength to deal with difficult situations on their own. Let them figure it out themselves and you’ll realize how capable your children actually are. - Belittling their mistakes Nobody is perfect, especially a growing child. Children make mistakes, sometimes ones that take a long time to rebound from. When moments like these happen, don’t be a constant reminder of those bad decisions by belittling your children for the choices they made. Doing so will cause their self-esteem to plummet into nothingness. Instead, work with them to solve the problem, and give them the encouragement they need to right their wrongs. - Holding unrealistic expectations Constantly telling your children to get perfect grades in school or telling them about the one mistake they made during their otherwise great soccer game is a way to say their best is never good enough in your eyes. No person is perfect. It takes time to master a skill. You may think some of your comments count as constructive criticism, but that may not always be the case. If your children begin to feel like doing their best never reaches your standards, their confidence will dwindle. Instead, teach your kids to set goals so they can push themselves to be their best. - Choosing degrading media Media has a major impact on kids and adults alike. There are sexist, dark and profane themes in many movies and television programs (even though you may not realize it). Be aware of what your children are watching and reading and of damaging content some movies portray. The Dove Channel offers clean, uplifting movies for the whole family to enjoy, with thousands of options available to help you raise confident kids.

Why Kentucky Ranks Third In The Nation For Student Loan Defaults When Latrice Doston was in high school, she learned if she was going to go to college, she was going to need some money. She thought tuition, room and board, books and everything else that comes with the price of college would magically get covered. And with that, Doston entered the long and complicated process of applying for student loans. She’s 23 years old now, and lives in the Russell neighborhood with her dad and siblings. After a stint at community college, she’s finishing her degree at Lindsey Wilson College, a private liberal arts school in South-Central Kentucky. And Doston estimates she’ll owe about $25,000 for student loans when she graduates. “It scares me,” Doston says. “I don’t want my credit to get bad over this. But I just feel like I have to at least go for it because you need a college education now to get a good job and get the life you want. You gotta go for it." That’s the situation a lot of young people find themselves in: chasing a better future, but going tens of thousands of dollars into debt at the same time. And in Kentucky, more than almost anywhere else in the nation, students aren’t paying back those loans and are facing the consequences of default. Third in the Nation Kentucky ranks third in the country in student loan defaults, behind New Mexico and West Virginia. More than 15 percent of borrowers end up defaulting on their student loans. That’s a little more than 12,000 borrowers. Default is dependent on the terms of a loan. But usually it’s when a borrower hasn’t made a payment for nine straight months. And for some of these students, they just don’t know they’re in default. “There’s obligations that the student has to have and supposedly know about,” says Lashala Goodwin, the executive director of the KentuckianaWorks College Access Center. She says some colleges haven’t done a great job explaining to teenagers the terms of a loan. But, she says financial literacy is improving. “Before, it’s like you got a student loan and you got a student loan, that was it," Goodwin says. "You did your counseling, but it wasn’t to the extent that’s like you know you have to pay this back." Molly Gesenhues is a lead counselor at the Educational Opportunity Center. It’s a free program under KentuckianaWorks College Access Center which helps students navigate college applications, financial aid forms and other things. “The majority of individuals that have defaulted on loans are often people that again attempted school and dropped out and didn’t even complete a semester’s worth of work,” she says. “But they got that loan money and spent it and then it’s on their record and they don’t realize, that hey, once you drop below half-time or once you graduate, you have six months before you have to start making payments." Her office helped about 2,800 students during the last school year -- mostly first-generation college students, low-income students and students of color. And she says race and class can play a role in whether a student ends up defaulting. Factoring in Policy Nationally, black students are more likely to take on student debt. And in Kentucky, historically black college Kentucky State University has the highest default rate of any of the commonwealth's public universities. But there’s another reason Kentucky students may be more likely to go into default: government policy. “We rank as one of the worst states for higher education cuts,” says Ashley Spalding, a research and policy associate at the Kentucky Center for Economic Policy. Spalding says while most states in the past year have reinvested in education, Kentucky has not. And since 2008, higher education funding has been cut 32 percent per student. That means higher tuition and more loans. But Spalding says students who default typically don’t have very much debt. “That’s kind of counterintuitive to look at that,” she says. “But it really makes sense when you start thinking about why would someone spend $100,000 to go to school. Well often it’s to get one of these highly advanced degrees.” Think about students who go to school for law, medicine or business or get some other advanced degree. Or even a Bachelor’s degree that garners a high salary, like petroleum engineering. Sure, some of these students take on more debt but their salaries will reward them for their career choice making it least likely that they’ll go into default. That’s not the same for someone who gets a less advanced degree, or worse, doesn’t finish school. They’ll most likely not get a high paying job and that can lead to default	[ "Student loan defaults", "Higher education financing", "Financial literacy", "College affordability", "Education policy", "Tuition costs", "Loan repayment", "First-generation college students", "Low-income students", "Minority students", "Government funding cuts", "Economic impact of education...

Stories of historic Bannock Burn explored by Stirling adventurers Stirling-based archaeologist Dr Murray Cook and local storyteller Ian McNeish have walked from the source of the Bannock Burn to where it meets the River Forth near Stirling, and want to tell the many remarkable stories of their journey. Some of these stories date back millennia, while others are considerably more modern. From the region’s unique geology and industrial heritage, to military engagements and truly incredible characters in history, they’re keen to explain why the Bannock Burn became arguably the most famous burn in the world. Providing step-by-step instructions on how to retrace their steps, they have now produced a new book called “The Bannock Burn: Journeys Along and Across the World’s Most Famous Burn” which chronicles their findings – including amazing surprises such as a town lost, an American legend of the Alamo, the tale of a supposed witch, a recovered Spitfire, award-winning racehorses, fascinating stories of tartan and whiskey, an extraordinary secret clock and amazing archaeological finds. “Murray and Ian have discovered a treasure trove of Scottish history,” said Julie Christie, director of Extremis Publishing which published the book. “Their findings are sure to fascinate anyone interested in the region and the people and events that have played a role in its long and storied history.” The book is fully illustrated with color photos, including maps for anyone wishing to follow the route in person. As an archaeologist, Murray Cook discovered many new insights into his country’s past and, teaming up with veteran storyteller Ian McNeish, he brought to life the incredible events and people who lived in the region over the years. centuries. They hope to encourage new visitors to Stirling, confident that anyone who strolls along the banks of the Bannock Burn will discover Scotland’s history for themselves. The book will be released on Thursday, September 1, 2022. For more information, please visit the Extremis Publishing website at www.extremispublishing.com.
