Joining forces with partners
The pandemic has strengthened the collaboration with many of our partners.
Organisations and associations that, like the AEC, are advocating and representing interests in the fields of arts, culture and higher education have been working closely together for a long time.
- The SCHEME group, in which EAS, EMU and AEC are discussing and promoting music education issues in joint action, has existed for a long time, but gained new impetus in corona times.
- Another example to show that political decision-makers will listen better to your concerns if you pull together is the close collaboration with ELIA and SAR, but also with other organisations that are active in the field of higher arts education on the occasion of the Vienna Declaration launched in 2020. As a logical next step with this campaign, a joint paper has now been finalised that is the basis for discussions with representatives of the Frascati Manual Editorial Board in order to enhance the status of Artistic Research and to bring it on eye-level with other research forms. Initial talks have already taken place.
- Another hot topic that is being worked on together with partners is Learning & Teaching at Higher Education Institutions. The SMS Working Group on Learning&Teaching has created visible structures and set priorities, such as student-centred learning, digital learning, peer assessment and more. This will be continued under AEC’s new Creative Europe Project Empowering Artists as Makers in Society, in which once more some of our partner organisations are involved.
- Finally, the AEC is also involved in a project on the topic under the lead of the European University Association (EUA) entitled LOTUS from which a Report on National Developments in Learning and Teaching in Europe has just been published. One of the key messages from this report is that the ‘lack of recognition of teaching in academic careers remains the main, structural obstacle’ to bring about substantial change in the matter (p. 47). It can be assumed that this applies not only to universities, colleges and universities of applied sciences, but also to HMEIs – not least because 6 AEC member institutions (out of around 50 in total) are actively involved in the LOTUS project.
Advocacy vis-à-vis political decision-makers
AEC is a member of Culture Action Europe (CAE) and is also represented on CAE’s board. CAE has set itself the goal of bundling the interests of the stakeholders in the field of European cultural policy and bringing them into constant dialogue with the political decision-makers at all levels of European politics. On 11 February 2022, the 3rd edition of a so-called Culture Action Europe Annual Policy Meeting took place. For the first time ever, the Annual Policy Meeting 2022 took place online, which had at least the beneficial effect that almost everyone who had something to say in European cultural policy felt encouraged to contribute a speech or a video message to the event – not only representatives of almost all parliamentary groups in the CULT Committee, but also the Commissioner for Innovation, Research, Culture, Education and Youth, the President of the European Parliament and the President of European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen. The substantive debate focused on the contribution of culture to the European Green Deal on the one hand, and the European Union’s contribution to the recovery of the arts and culture sector after the damages caused by the pandemic on the other. Critics complain that only warm words were heard at this meeting, but even if this should be true it still can’t be denied that the event caused a significant increase in the visibility of the sector. If you want to know more about the CAE Annual Policy Meeting, you can watch the video documentation of excerpts from it.
Another project worth reporting on is AEC’s participation in a consultation process to amend data collection practices in the fields of arts and culture. As we all know, it is crucial for the process of deciding on concrete political action, to have reliable and unambiguous statistical data at hand. The art sector in particular suffers from the fact that the benefits for corporate responsibility and the contribution of art, culture and cultural education to the well-being of our societies are sometimes difficult to put into objective figures. However, if such figures are missing, they are often replaced by key economic data, which can then tempt people to distract from the essentials. It is therefore even more important to make the voice of stakeholders heard in such hearings. A report is now available on the results of the consultation on ‘Measuring the Cultural and Creative Sectors EU’ which culminated in a 24-hour hackathon at the end of November. | [

Maryland Gains 14,200 Jobs in August
August posts the second-highest job gains in seven years
BALTIMORE (Sep. 15, 2017) – The U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) released state jobs and unemployment data. According to the preliminary survey data, Maryland added 14,200 jobs over-the-month, an increase five times the national rate of growth. August is the fifth month this year to post over-the-month job gains.
In August, Maryland's unemployment rate dropped to 3.9 percent, once again falling below the national average of 4.4 percent. Maryland unemployment now stands at pre-recession rates; the last time Maryland saw an equivalent unemployment rate was May 2008.
"From day one, a top priority of our administration has been growing our private sector and creating more jobs and we have made incredible progress," said Governor Larry Hogan. "In just two and a half years, Maryland has added more than 10 times more private sector jobs than were added in the previous 8 years, and the unemployment rate is at the lowest it has been in nearly a decade. We pledged to put our state on a new path and turn around our economy, and we are doing exactly that."
Since January 2015, Maryland has gained 127,600 jobs. Of the 14,200 jobs gained last month, 9,700 were in the private sector. Compared with August 2016, private sector jobs are up by 57,900, an over-the-year change of 2.6%.
"August’s job gains are the second-highest in the past seven years," said Maryland Labor Secretary Kelly M. Schulz. "Our regulatory reform and workforce development programs are creating opportunities for both business owners and job seekers, and the numbers reflect that. The Department of Labor is proud to do its part to ensure our citizens have jobs."
According to the data released today, the Professional and Business Services sector increased by 5,300 jobs, including 3,100 jobs in the Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services subsector and 2,100 jobs in the Administrative and Support and Waste Management and Remediation Services subsector. The Mining, Logging and Construction sector increased by 3,200 jobs, while the Trade, Transportation, and Utilities sector added 1,700 jobs. Other sectors that experienced growth in August include the Manufacturing, Financial Activities, and Information sectors.
Further, the state’s preliminary jobs estimate for July was revised upward by BLS from a gain of 800 to a gain of 3,400 jobs.
About the Maryland Department of Labor
The Maryland Department of Labor is committed to safeguarding and protecting Marylanders. We're proud to support the economic stability of the state by providing businesses, the workforce, and the consuming public with high-quality, customer-focused regulatory, employment, and training services. For updates and information, follow the Maryland Department of Labor on Twitter (@MD_Labor), Facebook and visit our website.

Categories: business, economy, food, sustainability - Tags: how change happens, local food, longwood loop, resiliency, Riverton, robyn guyton, rural, south coast environment centre, southland
The South Coast Environment Society in Riverton is fundraising for a van as part of their ongoing community project connecting food growers/producers and customers in the rohe. Starting with the Longwood Loop, the project aims to eventually cover three other Southland areas. Below is an outline from their Pledgeme page, which is also a wonderful description of sustainability and resiliency in action.
In true sustainability fashion, there are multiple interlocking benefits. It is both climate mitigation via vastly reduced food miles and supporting growers more likely to be regenerative or heading that way, as well as climate adaptation in making food supplies more resilient as local growers develop new skills and practices specific to the changes in their area and microclimates. It’s also promoting local economic resilience, enabling people to make a living doing what they love, with 75% of the sale price being returned to producers, and many more dollars staying in the community. And community resilience as small rural towns are connected up in a new way.
The project uses the Open Food Network system and extends the potential for communities to relocalise. This is a template that other places will be able to use.
The Longwood Loop is a community food resilience loop, that connects the small rural towns surrounding the Longwood Mountains in Western Southland. Our electric van will travel from town to town bringing fresh, locally grown and made food to community hubs, picking up more produce to bring to the next hub. Everything would be ordered on an online “farmers market’ so buyers know who grows the food and where.
The Longwood Loop will provide an important outlet for food growers and crafts people to sell what they produce, and will increase access to good food, and community connection for many in Western Southland, once established this van will serve 3 more “Loops” each week covering more than half of rural Southland.
When there is some form of natural disaster or transport disruption, we have only 3 days supply of food in our supermarkets, as this food comes from all over the world and only a tiny fraction of it comes from the Southland region. Now is the time, before disaster strikes, to re-localise some of our basic needs – things that we can grow and produce locally.
The Longwood Loop & the Electric Van to the rescue!
Re-localising will bring rejuvenation and resilience to our small country towns – food growers and producers will have access to the low-cost transport loop: their market will grow to 4,000+ people without having to leave their township. This will considerably reduce costs for producers, leading to lower prices for consumers.
This is a pilot for re-localising food for rural NZ – we have an online platform where locals can buy directly from locals, and with the electric van we are raising money for, no producer or consumer need to go more than 10km to buy or sell food through a trading hub.
This will socially, economically and environmentally benefit rural NZ: If just 20% of rural NZ spent just 20% of their current food bill locally, 1.5 million dollars would go back to rural NZ each week!
This van is initially for Western Southland and will travel 165km around the Longwood mountain range. Once we have this working well we will do 3 more loops with this one van: Central Southland, Northern Southland and Fiordland, at least once a week.
We have already received $36,000 from Community Trust South for this fabulous new e-deliver van: this campaign is for the balance. It is $5,000 more for the larger battery, so $20,000 pledged would be ideal. If we get pledged more than we need we will subsidise the running costs of the van while trading builds up. Eventually it will be self-funding with 10% of all trade used to run the loop. You can watch a review of the e-deliver here: https://youtu.be/IiCN2OrMMqo

Earlier this month, Scottish new wave band Altered Images announced a concert celebrating the fortieth anniversary of their third album – their widely acclaimed 1983 release, ‘Bite’. Set to take place on the 26th of October at the 229 in London, the highly anticipated performance follows up the group’s first album release in 40 years – the brilliant ‘Mascara Streakz’, which released last year.
Commemorating the tenth anniversary of his groundbreaking landmark release, ‘Acid Rap’, Chance the Rapper sold out Brooklyn’s Barclays Centre in an incredible performance alongside stars like Joey Bada$$ and Vic Mensa that left fans across New York City stunned. Following an event of similar magnitude at his home city of Chicago’s United Centre some nights before, Chance defied expectations once again in another show for the ages.
TikTok superstar boy band Here At Last have released their debut EP, the aptly named 8-track project titled ‘EP1’. Featuring both a mix of previous singles and all-new tracks, the debut project topped the iTunes charts, despite being released independently. This newfound independent success comes due to the band’s so-called ‘HALO Army’ – their massive fan base, which mostly comes from TikTok, where they have millions of followers.
Last week, Canadian-Nigerian rapper and recording artist DAX released his latest work, the EP ‘What Is Life?’, across streaming platforms. Following up the success of his 2022 single ‘Dear Alcohol’, which became platinum-certified, and the release of ‘God’s Eyes’, the seven-track EP encompasses a wide variety of topics DAX has had experience with over the past couple years – including the titular question about life.
On Wednesday, it was announced that the Japanese girl group ATARASHII GAKKO! will be making their way across the Pacific Ocean to debut in a blockbuster tour of North America, where they will perform across Mexico, the USA, and Canada. Known in Japan as Atarashii Gakkou no Leaders (Leaders of the New School), the group made their worldwide debut in January 2021, with the single ‘Nainainai’, but up until now, haven’t performed in the West – something that changes coming November 7th.
Last week, on the 4th of August, Australian superstar Delta Goodrem released her latest single, titled ‘Back To Your Heart’, on major streaming platforms. The song is her first release in 2 years, following up her 2021 album, ‘Bridge over Troubled Dreams’. She also announced a headline tour across the UK to commemorate the 20th anniversary of her debut album, ‘Innocent Eyes’, which starts in Glasgow on August 22nd.
Yesterday, on August 2nd, American singer-songwriter Finneas announced his first ever UK headline show will be coming later this month, on the 30th. Although Finneas has enjoyed a great deal of success through his short time in the industry, he had never headlined a show until now, only acting as a supporting performer at shows like Coachella, and working with artists such as Billie Eilish (his sister), Ringo Starr, Justin Bieber, etc. Coming off of production work on Eilish’s latest single, ‘What Was I Made For?’, which featured in ‘Barbie’ and hit #2 on the UK Singles chart, Finneas continues his hot streak with this new tour.
Due to the tour’s popularity, where dozens of venues have sold out already, English pop band ABC are announcing extra tour dates for their ‘The Lexicon Of Love’ 40th anniversary tour. The legendary group have been performing their debut album in international venues since last June, commemorating its 40th anniversary since its release in June 1982, and still continue to sell out venues nearly a half century after their formation.
Yesterday, the legendary chart-topping British pop icons S Club reunited to release their first piece of music in 20 years – a single, titled ‘These Are The Days’, released in memory of Paul Cattermole, who died earlier this year due to heart failure. Accompanied by a music video which shows the group’s members looking through photographs and memoirs of their history, the song has already achieved great success and acclaim, seen as a perfect tribute to both Cattermole and S Club 7’s legacy. | [

Senator [score]Ted Cruz[/score] (R-TX) has a complicated relationship with president-elect Donald Trump.
After calling Trump a “pathological liar” on the campaign trail, Senator Cruz later told his Facebook following he was voting for Trump.
Will Cruz’s support be rewarded with a position in the Trump Administration next year?
According to The Hill, President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team is rumored to be considering none other than Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) for the position of attorney general.
While many observers, including Sen. Lindsay Graham (R-S.C.), had often floated Cruz’s name as a potential Supreme Court pick, there are many who would consider this choice just as good. Furthermore, Cruz has stated multiple times that he does not wish to serve on the Supreme Court.
This comes on the heels of Cruz being seen entering Trump Tower to “offer aid during the transition,” according to one transition aide.
Source: Cruz on "long short list" for Attorney General
— Jim Acosta (@Acosta) November 16, 2016
Senator Cruz has a great record of conservative votes in the Senate. If history is any indication, he would be a bold defender of the Constitution and rule of law regardless of what position he serves in the government.
Only time will tell if Cruz makes the cut for a spot in Trump’s inner circle. | [

If it is an automatic try turning the ignition on and moving the shifter all the way down and place it in neutral to start it if not then put it in park and make sure it is all the way in good luck! Ed
Posted on Sep 27, 2008
If you checked all the fuses try putting the car in neutral sometimes the shifter gets misadjusted and wont start till the car is completely in park.If not check for a lose wire to the starter.If the car has an after market alarm you will have to turn it off before starting there should be a little buuton under the drivers dash or kick panel.GOOD LUCK

As a bass guitar enthusiast, you know that finding the perfect sound and feel from your instrument is an art in itself. One crucial aspect of this journey involves understanding the pounds of pressure applied to your bass guitar strings.
This seemingly small detail can greatly impact your playing experience and the quality of sound you produce. So, how many pounds of pressure should be on those all-important strings? Stick around as we dive into this topic and help you find the ideal tension for unleashing your inner rockstar!
Understanding Bass Guitar Strings Pressure
To comprehend the pressure exerted by bass guitar strings, one needs to understand the relationship between tension and pressure as well as the impact of different string types on overall pressure.
Tension And Pressure Relationship
As a proficient bass guitarist, it’s essential to understand the relationship between tension and pressure on your strings. Tension refers to the force required to stretch a string, while pressure is the amount of weight applied on that stretched string. These two factors work hand in hand to create an optimal playing experience and directly impact the overall sound and feel of your instrument.
For instance, let’s say you have two bass guitars with different string gauges – one has lighter strings and the other has heavier ones. The guitar with lighter strings will require less tension for them to reach their desired pitch compared to those with heavier strings. Consequently, there would be less pressure on those lighter strings as well. Conversely, heavier gauge strings need more tension and thus will exert greater pressure when tightened properly.
Knowing this relationship can help guide you in making important decisions about your choice of bass guitar setup – from selecting appropriate string gauges for your specific style or genre preferences to adjusting your truss rod for proper neck relief. Overall, being aware of this connection is vital in achieving better playability and tone quality from your beloved bass guitar!
Types Of Bass Guitar Strings And Their Impact On Pressure
Understanding the different types of bass guitar strings and their impact on pressure is crucial for beginners as it can significantly affect your playing experience. The following table provides an overview of the three main types of bass guitar strings and their respective characteristics in terms of pressure:
|Type of Bass Guitar String||Description||Impact on Pressure|
|Roundwound||Roundwound strings are the most popular type, featuring a round core wrapped with a round wire. They produce a bright, punchy tone.||Roundwound strings typically have higher tension, resulting in greater pressure on the bass guitar’s neck. This can make them feel stiffer and require more finger strength to play.|
|Flatwound||Flatwound strings consist of a round core wrapped with a flat wire, giving them a smooth surface. They offer a warm, mellow tone that’s favored in genres like jazz and blues.||Flatwound strings usually have lower tension compared to roundwound strings, leading to a more comfortable playing experience with less pressure. This makes them easier on your fingers and the bass guitar’s neck.|
|Tapewound||Tapewound strings feature a round core wrapped with a nylon tape, providing a unique feel and sound. They are favored in some reggae and R&B styles for their deep, smooth tone.||Tapewound strings have a tension that’s generally in-between roundwound and flatwound strings. They offer a balanced pressure that’s comfortable to play while still providing ample finger control and tonal variation.|
As a beginner, understanding the different string types and their impact on pressure will help you make an informed decision when choosing the best bass guitar strings for your specific playing style and preferences.
Recommended Pressure For Bass Guitar Strings
To find the ideal pressure range for your bass guitar strings, you need to consider several factors such as string gauge and playing style. In this section, I will break down these factors and provide recommendations that will allow you to achieve the perfect tension for your sound. Keep reading to learn more about how to make your bass guitar play at its best!
Factors Affecting The Ideal Pressure Range
When determining the ideal pressure range for your bass guitar strings, several factors come into play. As a beginner in bass guitars, it’s essential to consider these elements when trying to find the perfect balance between comfort and playability. Here are some key factors that can impact the recommended string pressure:
1. String gauge: Thicker strings generally require more tension to reach the desired pitch, while thinner strings need less tension. Experimenting with different string gauges can help you find the right pressure for your playing style.
2. Scale length: The distance between the nut and bridge of your bass guitar affects string tension. Longer scale lengths result in higher tension at a given pitch, while shorter scale lengths lead to lower tension.
3. Playing style: Your unique style of playing will also influence the ideal string pressure on your bass guitar. Fingerstyle players often prefer lower | [

Jain Mayank, Murray A. Optically stimulated luminescence dating: how significant is incomplete light exposure in fluvial environments? In: Quaternaire, vol. Fluvial Archives Group. Clermond-Ferrant Optically stimulated luminescence OSL dating of fluvial sediments is widely used in the interpretation of fluvial response to various allogenic forcing mechanisms during the last glacial-mterglacial cycle. We provide here a non-specialist review highlighting some key aspects of recent development in the OSL dating technique relevant to the Quaternary fluvial community, and describe studies on dating of fluvial sediments with independent chronological control, and on recent fluvial sediment. Quaternaire, 15,,, p Obtaining chronologies for fluvial deposits is an important component in understanding the fluvial response to changes in climate, sea-level, tectonic and anthropogenic factors. Optically stimulated luminescence OSL dating is now widely used by Quaternary scientists; it can provide ages in a range well beyond that of radiocarbon and on deposits from environments not conducive to the preservation of organic matter.
All Research Projects
Luminescence dating including thermoluminescence and optically stimulated luminescence is a type of dating methodology that measures the amount of light emitted from energy stored in certain rock types and derived soils to obtain an absolute date for a specific event that occurred in the past. The method is a direct dating technique, meaning that the amount of energy emitted is a direct result of the event being measured.
Better still, unlike radiocarbon dating, the effect luminescence dating measures increases with time. As a result, there is no upper date limit set by the sensitivity of the method itself, although other factors may limit the method’s feasibility. To put it simply, certain minerals quartz, feldspar, and calcite, store energy from the sun at a known rate.
Luminescence dating is a scientific method which dates certain artifacts by stimulated luminescence) dating measures the last time an object was exposed to sunlight. About Isotopic Dating: Yardsticks for Geologic Time.
Introduction How do we measure the OSL signal? How do we measure the radiation dose rate? Another way of dating glacial landforms is optically stimulated luminescence dating OSL. OSL is used on glacial landforms that contain sand, such as sandur or sediments in glacial streams. The OSL signal is reset by exposure to sunlight, so the signal is reset to zero while the sand is being transported such as in a glacial meltwater stream.
Once the sand grain has been buried and it is no longer exposed to sunlight, the OSL signal starts to accumulate. OSL works because all sediments have some natural radioactivity, caused by the presence of uranium, thorium and potassium isotopes in heavy minerals such as zircons. We analyse the quartz or feldspar minerals in sand deposits.
When these quartz or feldspar minerals are exposed to the ionising radiation emitted by the radioactive isotopes in zircons, electrons within the crystals migrate and become trapped in their crystal structure.
Seismic Moment and Recurrence (SMR) using Luminescence Dating Techniques
This paper aims to provide an overview concerning the optically stimulated luminescence OSL dating method and its applications for geomorphological research in France. An outline of the general physical principles of luminescence dating is given. A case study of fluvial sands from the lower terrace of the Moselle valley is then presented to describe the range of field and laboratory procedures required for successful luminescence dating.
Luminescence dating inter-comparison for sediments associated with the Puente Hills Hills we used OSL to date outwash that would have been deposited only While research is still on-going, a total of fifteen OSL samples from eleven.
Physicists study the properties of matter and energy. They use the language of mathematics—codified logic—to describe and explain everything from the behavior of elementary particles to the structure of the observable universe. In this regard physics is the fundamental science as well as the quantitative discipline: Physicists can be found in such diverse occupations as medicine, finance, and engineering, to name a few.
Learn more about physics at ECU. Physics students at ECU can participate in a wide variety of activities to prepare them for their careers. Additionally, organizations such as the Society of Physics Students enhance the student experience through peer interaction and public outreach events.
Luminescence dating facility
Luminescence dating is the way we detect how “charged” the battery is in order to know how long it has been “charging”. After careful sample collection, being sure not to expose the grains to any light, the minerals are optically stimulated in the laboratory, which releases the stored energy in the form of light. This is the luminescence signal that is observed, and the brightness of this signal is related to | [

I am a drummer, and the man who made me want to be a drummer was Keith Moon. I watched him open-mouthed on 'Ready, Steady, Go' in the 60s when I was about 10yrs old, mesmorised by his flailing arms and explosive energy, and I just knew that I wanted to do the same.
And so it was that I approached this book with a great sense f anticipation. I've read a number of books about Moonie and The Who, but never one that gace a first-hand account by someone who was actually there.
However, from the outset I found the style of writing grating, and after a while the 'Gor Blimey Guv'nor' over-the-top East End speak started top get in the way of the story. Karl Howman (an actor I've always liked) does a good job with the text, and his Moonie impression is spookily accurate, but after a while the tone wears you down. It's like being stuck in a pub with the biggest bore in the world; he talks at you, not to you.
A missed opportunity...
I was initially sceptical given the poor reviews so far, however I throughly enjoyed it.
The book isn't about the whole life of the worlds greatest rock n roll drummer but 10 years of Dougal's employment trying to keep moonie out of trouble. Tales about drugs, hookers and destroying hotel rooms are well known but the stories of moon's sheer lunacy are worth getting this book alone.
The only thing that was disappointing were the lack of stories about Keith's legendary habit of blowing up toilets but this may of been outwith Dougal's time.
Recommended if you love rock stars.
loved this audio book and even though some reviews slated the narration i thought it was creative and at times added to the atmosphere of the story. Some of the tales do make you think how sad and lonely keith must have been but nevertheless enjoyed the book and made me smile.
I write short stories and love reading. I can't stand poor grammar though. I like most types of books but I don't like erotica or romance.
I never expected this title to be a good read as such but neither did I imaging that it would be a kind of glorification of idiocy which is how it comes over though that might be the fault of the narator. Everyone knows that Keith Moon was a moron out of his head, off his face and just well, he didn't die too soon in my opinion good drummer or not. Wrecking hotels just because you can is no kind of life. However, he did what he did and that's really all the book is about though I'd say it is heavy on the justification of bad behaviour and certainly the idiot mods seemed to like it so I suppose from that point of view Keith Moon did the right thing. However I couldn't really get in to the book spending half my time trying to work out some of the initials though I did understand the slang used throughout this naration. I wonder though, how many other people will be put off by it since it is English slang rather than universal.
"the fantastic life of baron von moonchausen"
I bought two deluxe versions of Full Moon paperback. I have read that book about 10 times since the 80's. Dougal has a great way of telling a tale and he always makes me giggle. told with love and a hint of darkness, the life and times of the drummer of the world famous who band, will thrill and facinate.
"I was"Over the Moon"about the"dear boy"& this book"
I assume you are asking about the book and not the lad himself. My answer is as it always is......stories stories stories. You know, insider stuff and that's what this book is all about.
the minor details that cause you to this you are really getting the "inside" stuff
I have not heard anything else from this Gent. But I think he did a ball peen job.
I loved it, But yet I hated it. It made me laugh, it made me cry. It made me happy yet somehow sad.......extremely.
If your into Bio about your favorite counter-culture heros from the 60's, this book is great.

Focus Ireland has officially launched its Christmas appeal to support people experiencing homelessness over the festive season.
On Thursday, Focus Ireland and Dublin City Council set up its Christmas tree. Focus Ireland is urging the public to donate to help children and families who are currently without a home or at risk.
It comes as recent that currently 3,991 children find themselves without a place to call home, reflecting an annual increase of 15 per cent. Supporting Focus Ireland, Theo Le Bon, 12 years old, said that it is "awful" to think that nearly 4,000 children will be homeless this Christmas.
He said: "Some are only babies and don’t have a home or even anywhere safe to play. I love being at home with my family and having friends over to spend time with them. I think that every child needs a home, and all children deserve to be happy and safe.
"We are here today to stand in solidarity with all children who are homeless and say to the Government and all the parties, they need to do a lot more to help end the child homelessness crisis."
7-year-old Aoife Mooney also vowed to support those experiencing homelessness this Christmas. She said: "It makes me so sad for anyone to be homeless and I can't imagine how hard it must be for children my age and even babies to not have a home.
"It's wrong and shouldn't be allowed to happen. My Christmas wish would be that every child should have a home to be happy and safe."
Focus Ireland's Director of Services, Ciara Carty, said that their Christmas appeal is its most important campaign of the year. She said: "With total homelessness figures exceeding 13,000 this Christmas, our Christmas Appeal will be our most important fundraising campaign of the year.
"Whether there are businesses, community groups, schools or individuals interested in joining our fight against homelessness, there is something for everyone to take part in and this holiday season. We urge the public and businesses alike to do what they can this Christmas for those in need.”

What makes someone intimidating
Simply put, you have to be able to be just as hard-assed as the people in those groups to get in.
Seeing how people react to a person they find intimidating is really telling.
When you’re walking alone in night in a strange city, this can be your saving grace.
Men who are threatened by you automatically remove themselves from your dating pool.
Below are seven keys to dealing with aggressive individuals, excerpted from my book (click on title): “How to Successfully Handle Aggressive, Intimidating, & Controlling People.” Not all of these ideas may apply to your particular situation. By doing so, they create an advantage over you, from which they can exploit your weakness.
The first rule of thumb in the face of a difficult person is to keep your cool.
Guys who are intimidated by girls will either not act on their desire, or will end up saying/doing something that makes them unattractive to you.
That’s fine, because the guys who could be intimidated by you are usually not even dating material in the first place.
I’ve even had dates tell me flat-out that I’m an intimidating lady.Either way, you’ll be able to tell who you should avoid and who deserves to be part of your life. I stopped being “cuddly” when I realized that most people didn’t take me seriously when I was in fluffball mode.Being intimidating often means that people who would normally discredit you will hear you out instead, and that’s a great thing in many situations. Whatever intimidates people about you will likely be present in a good number of people who are close to you. After all, nothing is cooler than being badass with your squad.Here’s why it’s pretty great to be seen as such a badass, speaking as someone who hears it every day: It can prevent problems from happening.If you’re intimidating in the right way, you can quash people’s desire to mess with you.People who disrespect you often make asses out of themselves in the process.From personal experience, those who go out of their way to attack someone they find threatening usually will end up being publicly outed for their crappy behavior.If someone finds you intimidating, you’ll learn a lot about their personality pretty quickly.Insecure people will do what they can to tear you down, while those who are confident but worried about rejection will likely just not make a move or outright avoid you.Here’s the sad truth: doormats and teddy bears don’t always get too far in certain circles.Being intimidating, whether it’s because of your career or your attitude, can actually be the fastest way to gain approval. | [

1.3 Quantifying how reciprocal biota-sediment interactions drive landscape scale
Tidal basins and estuaries are typified by strong environment gradients that drive sedimentation processes on multiple spatial scales. At the scale of tidal basins and estuaries, flow and current dynamics drive gradients of increasing mud concentrations from the tidal inlets and channels towards the more sheltered tidal mudflats. Recent work has revealed that superimposed upon these large-scale geomorphological gradients, ecosystem engineering biota can profoundly alter mud characteristics, promoting smaller-scale heterogeneity in sediment composition. While geomorphologists and engineers typically only consider large-scale geomorphological gradients in their sediment transport models, ecologists commonly study smaller-scale biophysical interactions while ignoring larger-scale geophysical processes. However, previous work has found that smaller-scale biophysical processes can interact with large-scale geomorphological processes to steer the larger-scale sediment transporting processes, which can in turn feeds back on benthic community composition. Yet, despite its potential importance, a multi-scale investigation of biophysical interactions is currently lacking as it requires extensive labor-intensive data collection and a solid integration of biota and sediment dynamics. | [

List of featured suppliers of WATERPROOFING CONTRACTORS on Building Products Index
Waterproofing contractors are professionals who specialize in protecting surfaces or structures from water damage by applying coatings or sealants that make them waterproof. They have expertise in identifying potential problem areas, selecting appropriate materials, and applying them to prevent water infiltration. They may work on various types of projects such as roofs, basements, and foundations, and they may use a variety of techniques such as sheet membranes, spray-applied coatings, and injection systems. The goal of waterproofing contractors is to create a barrier that will prevent water from entering the structure, ultimately avoiding costly water damage and potential health hazards. | [

In our simulations we employ fully atomistic models,
as well as coarse grained models in which a lipid is reduced to
a small number of hydrophilic (head) and hydrophobic (tail) particles.
We studied the mechanical properties of these bilayers,
and showed that undulations have a significant effect
on the apparent elasticities reported
in the simulation literature [
By exposing the membrane to shear flows
with perpendicular and parallel orientations,
we were able to calculate
The surface viscosity was found to be related to
the lateral diffusion coefficient of the lipids [
while the friction coefficient determines the relaxation rates
of thermal undulations with short wave lengths [
We also studied the influences of lipid architecture and surface tension
on the dynamics.
The first line tension
or edge energy coefficient
was obtained from the average radii of stable pores in stretched membranes,
yielding values in good agreement with experimental data [5
we derived that
a stable pore requires a minimum elongation that
scales with the number of lipids to the power -1/3,
explaining the marked difference in elongations between
experimental (~2%) and simulation (~35%) studies of pores.
We developed a constraint technique
to smoothly open and close a pore
in a fully controlled and reversible fashion,
allowing us to calculate the free energy
of the pore formation process [6
By simulating a bilayer of ceramide-2,
the main lipid in the nearly impermeable upper layer of the human skin
we established that the potent penetration enhancer
undermines the skin's barrier function
by inducing a phase transition in the membrane [7
as well as drastically lowering the line tension of pores [8
By tuning the parameters of a coarse grained model,
we performed the first simulation of a stable wormlike micelle [9
yielding a bending rigidity and persistence length
at the lower end of the experimental range.
An interesting buckling
transition is observed,
in worms and bilayers alike,
if the compressive stress exceeds Euler's force.
When a solution of wormlike micelles is sheared,
the worms easily get hooked behind one-another
and a tension builds up in the worms until they yield.
We simulated entanglements of two worms,
and observed that the tension eventually leads -- contrary to previous conceptions --
to the merging
of the worms
and the formation of two Y-junctions
The entangled worms never broke up.
One readily envisages how the merging of worms,
and the easy dynamics of junctions,
explains the shear thinning
observed in many of these systems. | [

We all have it, and in the west, it is certainly culturally reinforced.
This is how it works:
First a fear or a threat to our ego brews the autonomic nervous system. Clouds of anxiety and negative judgemental thoughts form as we feel more insecure within our selves… the familiar stories of inadequacy, fear of rejection and failing. The inner critic’s survival instinct kicks in with the MO to prevent failure by demobilizing – either the self, or others around them.
The person you love nearby copping the brunt of the storm, or ego inside under attack and loathing… “you idiot”.
“Don’t be so defensive” – well I can’t just switch off a defence mechanism and the cascade of autonomic nervous system chemicals.
BUT you can use secure attachment words to debunk the Inner Critic.
Being SECURE allows you to do all those effective things: mentalize, and integrate the perceived criticism, make meaning out of the negative feedback or threat, to learn.
So how to become secure when you’re in your dysregulated inner critic response? In these moments we need to use Secure Attachment scripts: words to say to ourselves that remind us that we are secure – to calm our poor dysregulated brains.
1. Trust yourself – you’re doing ok
2. Imagine a loving secure relationship (even if not your own)
3. Look at yourself (3rd person) with soft, loving eyes
4. Imagine yourself relating to any person in an open and compassionate way
5. I’m really upset, but I’m here for you.
Simply imagining scenes of bonding relationships has shown to calm down a nervous system under attack from the inner critic (fMRI studies).
Some of these statements can be really challenging and hard to achieve. If it is hard to believe, then imagine someone else saying it.

Latest Nanoelectronics Stories
A team of UCLA researchers has created the most powerful high-performance nanoscale microwave oscillators in the world, a development that could lead to cheaper, more energy-efficient mobile communication devices that deliver much better signal quality.
A phenomenon first observed by an ancient Greek philosopher 2,300 years ago has become the basis for a new device designed to harvest the enormous amounts of energy wasted as heat each year to produce electricity.

Let’s start out with a question:
What is worship?
If you’re like me, for years I thought of worship as “singing praise to God”. In fact, I went into college with this same mindset. The funny part about this is that I went to college to study “worship” without really knowing what it was. I knew I loved singing in church on Sundays and leading people in worship, but that was essentially the extent of my knowledge of the topic. Once I realized the true meaning of worship, specifically unceasing worship, it changed my life forever. So let’s dive into the meaning of worship, shall we?
First, we’ll start with a simple dictionary definition of worship: devotion, or the feeling or expression of reverence and adoration toward something or someone. There’s something interesting about this definition—it says nothing about God or any god for that matter. It also says nothing about singing. *Cue mind explosion.* So now that we have this information, let’s rework our definition of what worship is today, because there are so many more forms of worship than just singing at church on a Sunday.
Whether we are Christians or not, all people everywhere worship something all the time. We were created to worship. Everybody inhabiting the earth is bowing down and serving something or someone. People worship their image, their status, appearance, their jobs, their spouse, their kids, their cellphone, social media—all of these have become false gods. In Exodus 20 you’ll find that the very first commandment given to Moses is, “You shall have no other gods before me”.
Well, snap. Oftentimes, we don’t feel like this commandment applies to us because we are not surrounded by other religions with multiple deities like people were in the time of Moses. Think back to that time—the Israelites saw so many false gods that the Egyptians worshiped that I’m sure they had a very clear idea of what God was talking about when He said not to worship other gods. But the problem is that image, our families and social media have become a form of modern day idolatry. I have to confess that these false gods are really hard for me, too.
So that’s our worldly, secular form of worship that we all struggle with. But the amazing thing about God and the “spiritual world,” if you will, is that there are battles going on our behalf and praises being sung and worship happening across the universe that we cannot see and cannot hear. Did you know that even nature worships the Lord and declares His glory? Psalm 96:11-12 says, “Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice, let the sea roar, and all that fills it; let the field exalt, and everything in it! Then shall all the trees of the forest sing for joy.” A verse that may be more familiar to you is in Luke 19, where many of Jesus’ disciples were praising Him, and the Pharisees told Jesus to rebuke them. Jesus said, “I tell you, if these were silent, the very stones would cry out.” There are many more verses about nature praising God, but those two are a couple of my favorites.
Alright, so here’s my second question for you: How can nature praise God?
I wholeheartedly believe that the trees, wind and water could all be praising God and that we just can’t hear it, but really this verse goes much, much deeper than that. Psalm 139:13-14 says, “For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made, your works are wonderful, I know that full well”. The meaning of the word “fearfully” means nobility (a holy fear of nobility). We were made by God who is King, and we are His children. To say that we are wonderfully made means we are made by God. Every hair on our head, every bone in our body, every ligament and muscle, every cell that holds our skin together declares that we were made by a divine creator. Nature worships God by declaring that God is good, He is a divine creator, and even rocks and trees are worshiping the Lord just by their mere existence and doing what they were created to do, just like us.
Last questions: What is unceasing worship? How does this look in our lives?
There are two parts to this. On a spiritual level, every single movement that we make declares that God is good, God is real, and we were made by a divine creator. On an earthly level, we already discussed that we were made to worship, and that we are sinners who constantly worship false gods. As believers, we combat this by dedicating our lives to learning more about | [

Local streets provide a place where the community can access their homes and other local destinations and are an active place to walk, cycle, play, relax and interact. They support local land use and community activity and are part of the public open space network.
Local area traffic management (LATM) is involved with the planning and management of traffic on local streets, using physical devices, streetscaping treatments, placemaking and other measures. The purpose of LATM is to reduce traffic volumes and speed in local streets, to increase amenity and sense of place, and to improve safety and access for residents and visitors, especially vulnerable road users such as pedestrians and cyclists.
In order to identify common practices and emerging trends in LATM, transport advisory firm Level5Design undertook extensive research in 2018 to identify new, innovative and revised approaches to the application of traffic management practice in Australia and New Zealand.
This research forms part of a 20-year longitudinal research project focussing on local government practices that commenced in 2006 and has been updated every four years.
The research found bicycle facilities incorporated within LATM schemes – including bicycle bypasses, advisory treatments, bicycle lanes, contra-flow treatments, wide kerbside lanes and other supplementary bicycle treatments – have been rated as increasingly effective by local government.
In the research, the effectiveness of each device was ranked on a scale of 1 to 5, with 1 being least effective and 5 being most effective. A ranking of 4 or 5 was characterised as 'effective'.
However, despite a 19% rise in the reported effectiveness of bicycle facilities incorporated into LATM schemes since 2014, there has been an equivalent decrease in their use within local area schemes during the same time period.
This means that less bicycle facilities are now being included within LATM schemes, which are built as part of new infrastructure plans or retrofitted into existing streets.
Figure 1 illustrates this relationship over time.
The findings indicate that despite the additional emphasis being given to cycling within local communities, it has not translated very well to local area traffic management schemes.
In fact, quite a few large metropolitan local governments state that they never incorporate bicycle facilities into local area traffic management schemes.
Clearly, if these facilities are as effective as most local governments report, this is an area that requires greater attention moving forward.
Long experience in Denmark and the Netherlands shows that traffic calming is compatible with high levels of cycling.
The keys are quality of detailing and speed management. Traffic conditions in local streets should be based on the expectation that bikes and vehicles will share the same space. Bike considerations should be an integral part of the LATM planning process, not merely an afterthought. LATM should improve conditions for cyclists and accord with their primary needs, which is to:
Peter Damen from Level5Design will present more of the findings at the upcoming IPWEA International Public Works Conference in Hobart, August. Early bird registrations for the event are now open – find out more here.
- Enhance access (aim at a coherent network that reaches all likely local destinations)
- Enhance safety
- Enhance convenience (opportunities, short cuts)
- Ensure continuity (including provision for crossing of traffic routes)

The word is theōreō (θεωρέω), and it is translated as “saw” and “perceive” in two different verses in the book of Acts.
Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, when he saw [G2334] the city wholly given to idolatry. … Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars’ hill, and said, [Ye] men of Athens, I perceive [G2334] that in all things ye are too superstitious. – Acts 17:16, 22 KJV
The Apostle Paul had not only been a spectator, but had discerned and considered the idolatrous condition of the city of Athens, and it broke his heart. That led him to take action.
Pray for Us
When I was in Zimbabwe I was able to see for myself what was going on. I was able to discern the painful conditions under which the people live. But even more, my heart was broken and convicted, for here was people who had a determination to survive, no mater what. Here was a body of Christians who were determined to share the gospel on one hand, and work for better conditions with the other.
Today more protesters concerned with unemployment (over 80%) and government corruption went to the streets, court approval in hand, yet were arrested by police. The people live in poverty because of leader who will not listen to the people of his country, and they are growing weary.
But what did I hear from the people I met? “Pray for us,” they would beg. “Pray for peace, for a peaceful election, and a change for good.” They want better relations with Western countries, not North Korea or Russia. They don’t want a coup, but fair and honest elections. But things are getting very tense, so they beg for us to pray.
It’s one thing to read about it in the news, but something totally different when you know the people involved. I went there…I met them…I lived and ate with them… The people of Zimbabwe are real people, a people of whom many love God and want Zimbabwe to be a Christian light on the continent of Africa.
I saw. I perceived. Now, will you take just a moment and look a little closer? Would you please intercede for this nation and our fellow believers caught in the middle of such turmoil?
All they want us to do is see them, and pray. | [

Biological Fiaschetto Tomato puree of Torre Guaceto or tomato sauce is a fine sauce that is obtained by cooking Fiaschetto tomatoes, in 2017 it was recognized as a Slow Food Presidium, and is used in many ways by the Apulian culture: generally for the dressing of first courses, second courses and tasty pizzas.
The first signs of the preparation of this recipe can be seen directly in ancient books: in fact in the “Cuoco Galante” by Vincenzo Corrado of 1778 we speak of this sauce, even if at that moment it was not presented as a condiment. Subsequently, further evidence emerged in 1779 in Antonio Nebbia's “Il cuoco maceratese” and “Cucina casereccia” of 1839 and in these cases the tomato puree was used to embellish pasta and pizza.
Our Fiaschetto tomato puree of Torre Guaceto is a healthy and quality product, and not only, it contains the memories of our childhood, when the processing of the tomato sauce was an opportunity to bring our whole family together: Its scent reminds us when as children, we all went together, armed with a basket to collect the redest and ripest tomatoes that immediately afterwards were spread on the racks in the shade of a large olive tree, surely these were the most beautiful moments, we sat down everyone to choose the best tomatoes and listen to the stories of their beloved grandparents. Immediately afterwards, the fiaschetto tomatoes were cooked, exclusively at night, to avoid the heat of the August days, after bottling, at the end of the work, a large table was improvised and we all had lunch together passionately. We wanted to enclose this in our puree: our happy childhood, the union of the family, the stories of our grandparents in the shade of that large olive tree, the songs of women, the scent of summer, the serenity of a child.
The ingredients are: Fiaschetto tomato, without citric acid, without salt, cooked in a bain-marie.
The pulped tomatoes by "Pietrasanta" farm is the result of the family passion for this Apulian fruit, that controls the entire production process: from the selection of the reddest and ripest tomatoes in the field until their collection and packaging that takes place within a few hours after their arrival at the laboratory.
The Fiaschetto Pietrasanta tomato puree has an intense red color with a very sweet flavor, the pulp is full-bodied and consistent; these characteristics are given to the product by the particular composition of the soil, by the irrigation water (surface wells along the coast that give water rich in salts) and by the climate.
Our Fiaschetto tomato, formerly a Slow Food Presidium, became biological in the summer of 2018 and represents a historical cultivar of the territory between Ostuni and Carovigno, close to the coast of the Torre Guaceto Reserve, is a unique product of its kind and is typical of Brindisi area, where an extraordinary variety of protected ecosystems including the marine reserve, the coast, the wetland, the Mediterranean scrub and the agricultural areas, make this product rich in extraordinary characteristics!
Keep in a cold and dry place. After opening, keep refrigerated. | [

Reshma Ravishanker (Bengaluru)
Even as several parts of the country are bracing for a second wave following a massive surge in Covid-19 cases, parents of primary school children in Karnataka (pop.63 million) are divided on the issue of sending their children back to school.
An online survey conducted last month (March) by the Vidyarthigala Nade Shaleya Kade (VNSK, ‘Students’ march towards school’), a Bengaluru-based NGO comprising educationists, doctors, teachers, and parents, indicates that 82.24 percent of households are in favour of commencement of on-campus classes for primary school children in the next academic year beginning July 2021. Of the 3,165 parents interviewed, a majority of 2,603 wanted schools reopened for primary children.
On the other hand, another study conducted by LocalCircles, an online platform, indicates that 72 percent of households in Bengaluru and 62 percent statewide are unwilling to send their children to school until a substantial percentage of the state’s population is vaccinated and the Covid-19 pandemic subsides. The LocalCircles online survey covered 9,687 respondent households countrywide including 1,971 in Karnataka. These households have incomes of above Rs.3 lakh per annum.
Dr. V.P. Niranjanaradhya, senior fellow at Universalization of the Equitable Quality Education Programme of the National Law School of India University, Bengaluru, and prime mover of the VNSK survey, says the two surveys reflect the differing aspirations of low-income and high-income households.
“The majority of sample respondents in our survey comprised low-income families. Government anganwadis and primary schools provide a safer environment for children than their cramped homes in crowded localities. Moreover, children are assured of a free-mid-day meal in government anganwadis and primaries. That’s why our survey which focused on low-income households, shows an overwhelming preference for reopening of schools,” he explains.
The diametrically opposite conclusion of the LocalCircles survey which indicates that 62 percent of parents in the state prefer their children to learn from home is because of the profile of respondents. All parents interviewed had annual household incomes above Rs.3 lakh with half reporting incomes of over Rs.6 lakh. Quite obviously, these households are well-equipped with Internet connectivity and digital devices (computers, laptops, Smart phones) with children enrolled in upscale private schools that have smoothly transitioned to online learning. Unsurprisingly, they prefer their children to learn from home until the worst of the pandemic is over.
With poor, income-stressed, and working class households clearly in favour of reopening of public and affordably priced budget private schools — these households/families constitute a majority in Karnataka — the dithering of the BJP government of the state has dismayed educationists. On January 29, ten months after all education institutions nationwide were ordered to be shutdown, the state government permitted in-school classes for senior and higher secondary (classes IX-XII) students. Almost a month later, it allowed on-campus classes for VI-VIII children.
However with Karnataka experiencing a second surge in Covid-19 positive cases in March, most upscale private schools have reverted to online classes with the state’s 49,637 government schools reporting 30-40 percent attendance in classes VI-VIII even as pre-primaries and primary schools remain shut.
Meanwhile, a study published by the Bangalore-based Azim Premji University covering five states including Karnataka, shows that 92 percent of children enrolled in public (government) class II-VI primaries have lost the learning of previous years in language, and 82 percent in mathematics.
Dithering on the issue of re-opening schools by the state government — in some European countries, they have not closed at all during the pandemic — is certain to cost Karnataka’s already under-schooled children heavily.

Timed mode, normal, make 1 combo. If the time runs out you get 5 points. So...you only made one combo. Do this and it says, "NEW HIGH SCORE," "Congratulation! You have a new high score on the Xbox Live leaderboards!!"
Ok, so it's not a new high score. 5 points is no one's highest score. If you played for 2 seconds you'd have a higher score. It is not displayed on the leaderboards. It is not new.

I’m not sure what it is about Depeche Mode’s synth sound that makes me lose control, but I’m glad they reverted to it on their latest album, Playing the Angel. And while their videos usually contain random passive hotties just, well… being, the clip for “A Pain that I’m Used To” features a bunch of amped-up ladies whose aggressive stock-car race devolves into fiery crashes and one hell of a catfight. Maybe it’s the tune’s sick guitar licks that make them all aggro.

Vertical Aerospace a global aerospace and technology company that is pioneering zero-emissions aviation, today announces that South Korean mobility technology company, Kakao Mobility, has pre-ordered up to 50 of Vertical’s VX4 aircraft, adding South Korea to Vertical’s list of customer launch markets.
Kakao Mobility, the largest Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) platform in South Korea with more than 30 million registered users, is the mobility subsidiary of South Korean internet giant, Kakao Corporation. Kakao Mobility runs the country’s most popular taxi-hailing app, Kakao T, providing taxi-hailing, designated driver booking, parking space search, and Kakao Navi app providing real-time traffic information services.
Vertical and Kakao Mobility will establish a Joint Working Group (JWG) to drive the commercialisation of AAM services in South Korea, including the exploration of network and fleet planning, infrastructure requirements, regulatory development, and consumer awareness of eVTOL mobility solutions.
South Korea is one of the largest economies in the world and is home to globally leading technology companies. Seoul, as well as other regions including Busan, is expected to have a significant Urban Air Mobility (UAM) market potential.
This JWG builds on Vertical’s existing consortium partnership with Kakao Mobility, LG Uplus, GS E&C, and the continued engagement with Korea’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, for the K-UAM Grand Challenge (K-UAM GC).
The agreement with Kakao Mobility marks Vertical’s first partnership with a mobility technology company, enabling Vertical to leverage their existing customer base and vehicle network to create a seamless air-to-ground passenger journey and UAM ecosystem in the country.
Stephen Fitzpatrick, Vertical’s Founder and CEO said, “We are delighted to be partnering with Kakao Mobility. With its over 30 million registered users, Kakao Mobility is the go-to choice to ‘hail a ride’ and with our partnership, we look forward to people across South Korea being able to fly in a VX4 in the years to come. We are thrilled to be working together to make our joint vision a reality'.”
Alex Ryu, CEO of Kakao Mobility commented, “Kakao Mobility is the leading mobility platform and in an AI-enabled world with needs for faster, eco-friendly means of moving, we understand that UAM will be a game-changer in the near future. We are excited to take part in Vertical Aerospace’s mission to launch its VX4 globally and to bring an UAM service to Korean market. We will be expanding our business not only on the ground but to the sky through this partnership. As a consolidated mobility platform, Kakao Mobility will develop the “De Facto Standard” for UAM services. We look forward to collaborating closely to complete the K-UAM Grand Challenge successfully and into commercialization shortly after K-UAM GC.”
Vertical already has strong ties to South Korea with Hanwha, a key partner for the VX4 certification aircraft. Vertical is leveraging Hanwha’s four decades of industrial expertise to collaborate on the development and supply of actuator systems for the VX4.

Sport College football Week 7 primer: Heisman Watch, upset picks, predictions and more
The Legend of Joe Burrow began at Auburn at about 5:30 p.m. on Sept. 15, 2018
LSU QB Joe Burrow was just a normal guy until he threw a 71-yard touchdown in the 4th quarter to WR Derrick Dillon at Auburn to spark a 22-21 winCollege Football Head Coaches' Salaries: LSU's Ed Orgeron is No.
Week 7 of the college football season could serve as the first Separation Saturday given there are four matchups between top-25 teams.
No. 6 Oklahoma and No. 11 Texas meet in the Red River Rivalry (noon, FOX) in a game with huge Big 12 implications. No. 24 Texas A&M hosts No. 1 Alabama (3:30 p.m., CBS) in the CBS afternoon slot. Primetime features another top-10 SEC showdown between No. 5 LSU and No. 7 Florida (8 p.m., ESPN). There also i s a Big Ten matchup between No. 10 Penn State and No. 17 Iowa (7:30 p.m., ABC). It's a loaded weekend.
Every week, Sporting News will survey the landscape looking for Heisman contenders, coaches on the spot, upset alerts and other trends. With that in mind, get ready for Week 7.
Heisman watch: Comparing Tua Tagovailoa and Jalen Hurts with 3 dark-horse candidates
Breaking down the 2019 Heisman candidates now that Clemson QB Trevor Lawrence isn't the Heisman front-runner after Week 5.
WEEK 7 PICKS:|
Three quarterbacks in the FBS have a passer rating of more than 200 heading into Week 7, and they are the three quarterbacks at the top of the Heisman Trophy discussion.
Oklahoma's Jalen Hurts (231.3) leads the way heading into his first Red River Rivalry matchup against Texas, and he's compiled 21 TDs through five games. If Hurts wants to join Baker Mayfield and Kyler Murray as a Heisman Trophy winner at Oklahoma, then this is the game to do put a signature on it.
Alabama's Tua Tagovailoa (225.1) is a close second, and he's been even better this season with a 23 TDs and no interceptions. If Alabama carves up Texas A&M on the road and Tagovailoa throws five or six TDs – which he's done in the last three games – then he can close the gap.
Six teams on upset alert for Week 4 in the NFL
Here we identify six teams on upset alert in NFL Week 4. Tennessee Titans at Atlanta Falcons (-3.5)Falcons QB Matt Ryan has thrown six interceptions in three games. If Tennessee’s edge rushers can bring the heat Sunday in Atlanta, then the secondary should benefit from one or two more.What this game may boil down to is whether Titans QB Marcus Mariota can get on the same page with his receiving corps. He opened the season with three touchdowns against Cleveland but has just one since.
Then there's LSU's Joe Burrow (216.2), who leads the nation's top-scoring offense (54.6) against a Florida defense that allows just 9.5 points per game. Burrow lit up Texas for 471 yards and four TDs with one interception on Sept. 7. If he does that against the Gators, then he would emerge as the front-runner.
These are the kind of games the Heisman voters remember most.
Coach on the spot
Clay Helton heads into the matchup against Notre Dame in an interesting spot. The Trojans are 3-2 despite starting three different quarterbacks, and either Kevon Slovis or Matt Fink will start against Notre Dame in South Bend, Ind., on Saturday. The Trojans have lost the last two meetings to the Irish by 21 points per game and have not won at Notre Dame Stadium since 2011.
Does Helton have to win this game? Probably not. But if the Trojans get blasted here then lose to No. 13 Oregon and No. 18 Arizona State on the back half of the schedule, then the only drama left will be whether USC can get to six wins and make a bowl game.
Ricky Williams' Heisman sells for auction-record $504,000
The Heisman Trophy won by Ricky Wiliams in 1998 was sold at auction for $504,000, setting a record for college football's most recognizable award. The Heisman Trophy won by Ricky Wiliams in 1998 at Texas was sold at auction for $504,000, setting a record for college football's most recognizable award.

Raising the stakes
A more robust United Nations risks roiling neighbourly relations
THE UN’s intervention brigade in eastern Congo has fired its first shots in anger. Since August 21st the force, which has an assertive mandate empowering it to squash illicit armed groups in the region, has teamed up with the regular army of the Democratic Republic of Congo to attack rebels recently threatening to capture Goma, the country’s north-eastern trading hub which they briefly overran last November. Attack helicopters, artillery and ground troops, mainly from South Africa and Tanzania, have been pressed into action. The aim is to push the M23 rebel group, comprising Congolese army mutineers, far enough away from Goma that their rockets and mortars can no longer threaten the city and its people.
Yet the action, which has left at least 80 Congolese soldiers and rebels dead, has exposed differences within the UN over whether the 3,000-strong brigade should be used as a carrot or a stick to promote peace. Some of its people see the intervention force purely as a deterrent to ensure that the rebels never again embark on a siege of Goma. Others want it to take on the rebels and crush them for good.
At the same time, talks hosted in Uganda between the government of Congo and the M23, which Rwanda has been accused of egging on, thus destabilising the two Kivu provinces in eastern Congo, have stalled. A separate “framework agreement”, signed by the leaders of Congo and its neighbours with much fanfare in February, has also failed to improve things on the ground. Clashes have persisted between the Congolese army and the M23 rebels, who take their name from an agreement they signed with the Congolese government on March 23rd 2009 that was supposed to integrate them into the national army. In the past two months 1m or so people in the Kivu region have been displaced.
Most people there were at first encouraged by the arrival of the intervention brigade, which was meant to beef up the UN’s peacekeeping force, known by the acronym MONUSCO, bringing the total number of UN people in the area up to 18,000. But the stalled negotiations and the UN’s inaction, despite its troop reinforcement, angered the people of Goma, which continued to be shelled by the M23 rebels. Mortar rounds on August 24th killed three civilians, provoking street protests calling for the UN to attack the rebels. A UN vehicle was set alight and two protesters shot dead during the demonstrations.
The M23, whose leaders hail from the same Tutsi ethnic group as Rwanda’s president, Paul Kagame, says it is being unfairly targeted. It claims that other local rebel outfits, especially the Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda (FDLR), made up of Hutus responsible for the genocide in Rwanda in 1994, are the ones making mayhem; the UN, it says, is collaborating with them. Rwanda’s government, which strongly denies links to the M23 despite detailed evidence, has accused Congo’s army of firing rockets over the border into Rwanda and has warned that it cannot stay on the sidelines “indefinitely”.
So the UN’s recent robust action against the M23 may increase the risk of fighting between the armies of the two antagonistic neighbours, Rwanda and Congo. More dangerous still, there is a chance that UN forces could find themselves up against the Rwandan army. “As long as people believe there is a military solution, we move closer to the doomsday scenario,” says a worried Western diplomat in the region, hinting at the period in the 1990s when half-a-dozen African countries got sucked into the bloody Congolese imbroglio.
CORRECTION: We misplaced Goma on the map in our original edition. This has now been changed. Apologies.

The chainsaw is a tool that is as popular as it is dangerous, and for good reason! Chainsaws are used in a wide range of jobs that require tough work to be done, from clearing brush to cutting trees down. Read on for 11 occupations where a chainsaw can come in handy.
Using a chainsaw as a logger can be a dangerous job. Being able to use a chainsaw is necessary as a logger to cut the trees into rounds that are appropriate to the log mill.
Loggers use chainsaws for bucking when felling, limbing when removing branches from felled trees and for making notches in the trunk so they can be delimbed once it hits the deck.
A logger may also use a chainsaw for debarking when it is necessary. So, the chainsaw is a necessary tool for loggers to have when they are out doing their job.
Loggers usually only use gas-powered chainsaws with a minimum size of 50cc. The preferred chainsaw bar length for a logger ranges from 18-24 inches and the bar should extend atleast 2 inches past the wood being cut. These are the minimum preferred sizes and many chainsaws being used during logging operations exceed these.
A skidder operator will need to use a chainsaw is necessary to clear the trail if a log gets jammed and in the way.
Skidder operators work to clear work areas by safely removing trees using crane boons, cable winches, and log grapples. A chainsaw may be needed at any time to assist in this process.
Skidder operator using a chainsaw is necessary for forestry work to get the trees in the right place. This work is often carried out by forestry workers but can also be done by others (e.g., foresters, forest machine operators, etc).
However, the skidder operator may not be able to do the chainsawing themselves. This is especially so during helicopter extraction, and using grapple skidders and forwarders. Other chainsaw operators will be needed to increase the productivity of logging operations in these cases.
Heavy equipment operators may at any point in time need a chainsaw on the job site to clear trees and fallen logs in the way of operations.
A heavy equipment operator has a variety of tasks and machines they need to be able to operate depending on the job. Examples of heavy equipment include excavators, bulldozers, loaders, and backhoes.
Heavy equipment operators most commonly work in construction, pipelines (oil and gas), and logging.
Besides the top skills needed to be a heavy equipment operator, such as proper driver’s licences, experience with loaders and backhoes, and meeting OSHA standards, being capable of operating a chainsaw is also very important depending on region one is working in (forest, parklands, etc.).
A chainsaw artist uses a chainsaw to make large and magnificent works of art for the public to enjoy.
Chainsaw art is becoming increasingly popular around the world, with chainsaw sculptures – also known as ‘chainsaw wood carvings’ – appearing in town squares, in parks and even along roadways. Chainsaws can be used to create everything from statues to intricate works of art.
Chainsaw artists often choose specific carving chainsaws available on the market. These are usually smaller and lighter than other chainsaws and allow for detailed carving with low vibration levels. The precision cuts these saws can make exceed those of other chainsaws. One example of this type of chainsaw is the Stihl MS 151 C-E Carving chainsaw.
Chainsaws are a powerful and unique tool for artists to use if and when they are so inclined, and must be able to use them safely.
Firemen can use chainsaws to clear debris on a fire site to put the fire out or get to someone who needs rescuing. chainsaws are useful tools in the hands of a fireman because they can quickly clear fallen trees and branches in a way that reduces risk to firefighters and anyone else nearby.
Chainsaws also work well in cutting down standing trees when a firefighter might need to get around them or check what is behind them for victims, be it a human or animal.
Chainsaws can also be used to cut through doors, walls, or fallen beams in a building. In short, chainsaws very much come in handy to firemen who need a fast and powerful cutting tool in an emergency situation.
It goes without saying that park rangers often come in contact with trees, brush, and fallen debris. Many national parks are forested areas and cutting trees and tree materials is a necessary part of the job.
Park rangers use chainsaws when needed in the forest to clear paths for hikers and campers. Depending on the park density, chainsaws may be carried by park rangers who regularly patrol trails and check for signs of human | [

Last Saturday I attended the second annual All Write Now! Conference on the campus of Southeast Missouri State University in Cape Girardeau.
The opening keynote speaker was Dr. Susan Swartwout, whose gothic poetry book, Odd Beauty, Strange Fruit, will be available soon from Brick Mantel Books.
During her presentation, Dr. Swartwout spoke with wisdom, grace, and enthusiasm on the topic of writing talismans.
According to the dictionary, a talisman is "something producing apparently magical or miraculous effects."
Dr. Swartwout shared that during her career she was given the talismans of "persistence" and "crap shoot" by two writers, so she wanted to pass along a few talismans other writers can use.
* Write daily. "Don't ignore your muse." No matter if you journal, blog, or prefer another form of writing, find the will, desire, and drive to write every day.
* Write yourself. "Don't try to be your favorite writer." Write what you know, or what you can know, or what you want to learn more about.
* Never stop learning. Read! Reach outside your comfort zone and read works you wouldn't normally read. Enlarge your vocabulary. She quoted E.L. Doctorow, "Start from nothing and learn as you go."
* Spill it! Write as fast as you can. Let your ideas flow honestly. Don't listen to the voice of your internal editor, or your mother, or someone else trying to filter your words on the page. And keep in mind your first draft is your worst draft.
* Take risks. Don't take the easy way by avoiding uncomfortable topics, but also don't overshare. She gave an example of a man who wrote in too much detail about one of his body parts. She suggested keeping a dream journal to record your dreams as soon as you wake up so you can capture the "raw ghosts" wandering around trying to break through your subconscious.
* Write with enthusiasm! She compared writing with enthusiasm to smiling when answering the phone. Write with zest and have fun. The first thing a writer should be is excited!
She wrapped up her talk by suggesting writers use their superpowers for good, because, she said, "Nobody else can do it but you!"
So, how about you? Do you have a writing talisman to share? | [

Recently I went on a little DHC splurge. I have tried all of the products before, except for the Moisture Fruit Gel Cream. I received samples of it already and made them stretch as long as I could. Then my boyfriend ordered me a full size tub!
What attracted me to this cream is it is made of fruit extracts and amino-acids. It's also quick absorbing, something that I try to look for in almost any lotion or cream. There's nothing like slathering on lotion and being a slippery mess, eh?
First off, the packaging is super cute.
|Box side w/description|
If you can't read the image, this is what the box says:
"Lock in moisture with this fast-absorbing gel cream that supports your natural barrier with botanical extracts and an amino acid-based emollient. Extracts from four fruits and one fruit leaf condition for a soft and supple complexion."
I'm not sure what I was expecting, but the jar is a lot smaller than I thought it would be. I do like that it's small enough to fit into my makeup bag so I can take it on the go. It's roughly the same size as my night time eye cream tub.
The cute theme was continued on the tub with the lace. I think that is one of the other things that attracted me to this product, as silly as that sounds!
When you open the cream, there is a tiny plastic press over the top, but when I took of the lid this time the little plastic piece got stuck in the lid. As you can see it's got a nice and creamy texture, a little thick but not so much that it feels heavy on your face.
One of the things that first struck me was how good this cream smells. It smells of grapefruit, very light and crisp!
It goes on very smoothly. You don't need much of this product to do the job at all.
This is a moisturizer that can be used day or night, and it would be perfect under makeup.
Of course, with every DHC order you get samples! I only requested the two bars of soap, BB Cream, and After Bath Hair Treatment, but they also sent me a Scalp Care shampoo and conditioner! Score!
This lotion is a total toot.
It moisturizes without making you feel greasy, it smells nice, and the tub is very convenient for travel.
Thank you for reading my review, and I hope that you will give DHC products a try! You can find this Moisture Fruit line and much more at DHC Skincare. | [

Sometime between Wednesday night and Friday morning, a motorist ran a car onto the West Main Street sidewalk near the corner of 6th Street destroying a metal bench and damaging other street art. The angle at which the motorist must have driven onto the sidewalk to create the apparent path of destruction is quite severe, almost as if making a 90-degree turn onto the sidewalk. But hey, if you don’t have control of your vehicle, anything is possible.
Today, the city carried the damaged bench away, along with another seemingly undamaged bench and one of those fancy new way-finding signs that were recently installed. The iron tree guard bent in the accident was not removed for repair and will probably be deformed for quite some time. It features the profile of the Whitestone Building it sits in front of. After all, the limestone bench on the same block damaged last June during construction of offices on Main Street is still sitting broken (though the stone shards have been swept away).
It’s times like these that we would like to see steel bollards installed around corners, especially where pedestrian seating comes into play. One can frequently see drivers run up on the curb making turns or speeding through a red light. To make things worse, the lane stripes don’t match up evenly from one side of the intersection to the other. With a few bollards here and there, we wouldn’t worry about cars running into buildings or benches (or pedestrians…) and the like. The feeling of safety while standing behind protective steel spikes separating you from oncoming vehicles also contributes to enjoying the urban environment.

marine weather discussion for N Pacific Ocean NWS ocean prediction center Washington DC 739 PM PDT Wed Aug 23 2017
.Forecast discussion...Major features/winds/seas/significant.Weather for the North Pacific N of 30n and E of 150w.
At 00z, a cold front extended from the southwest Oregon coast across the far northern pz6 waters. A 1840z ascat-b pass depicted northerly winds to 25 kt over the coastal waters off northern California, while winds over the offshore zones remained in the 15 to 20 kt range. No notable changes with this evening update as the 18z GFS came in very close to the preferred 12z GFS solution used for the inherited grids. Still do not anticipate any gales within our offshore zones through Monday night. Most guidance continues to support gales over the coastal waters west of Point Saint George on Friday evening.
----------------------------------------------------------------- Previous discussion...
The 18z surface analysis indicated a weak cold front across the Washington and Oregon offshore waters with a weak trough along the California coast. An ascat pass from 1746z indicated the strongest winds, around 20 kt over the northern and central California waters.
The 12z models remain in good agreement through most of the forecast period, with some differences showing up by early next week. During the short term period, the cold front will move slowly southeast tonight through Thursday across the northern and central California waters before dissipating over the central California waters Thursday night. Winds with this front will remain well below gale. Meanwhile, the trough will strengthen along the northern California coast Thursday into Saturday. This will result in mainly diurnal gales confined to the far southern Oregon and northern California coastal waters Friday night. Over the offshore waters the winds will remain below gale. The trough will then weaken again Sunday through Monday night with no gales expected. Then looking ahead to Sunday night through Monday night, all of the models indicate a low pressure moving into the Gulf of Alaska, while ridge remains in place over and west of the offshore waters. The GFS and UKMET are in decent agreement with the intensity of the low, while the ECMWF and CMC are quite a bit stronger. Regardless of which model is more accurate, the impact on the offshore and coastal waters will be minimal. Plan on using the GFS 10m winds to populate wind grids through the period. Prefer the GFS/UKMET for the day 5 period at this time as it is slower to break ridge down.
.Seas...The 18z sea state analysis indicated that observed seas continue to be within a foot of the wavewatch iii forecast values. Will use the wavewatch iii to populate wave grids through the period as differences between ECMWF wam are minimal.
.Extratropical storm surge guidance...N/A.
.Pz5 Washington/Oregon waters... None.
.Pz6 California waters... None.

In previous articles, I discussed how the recent advancement of generative artificial intelligence (AI) technologies may impact the Chinese state and the Chinese society. In this article, I explore China’s approach to AI research, as well as its implications on the world order.
The recent AI achievement signified by GPT-4 is actually the result of over a decade of intensive fundamental AI research and tens of billions of dollars of investments sponsored by tech giants, such as Microsoft, Alphabet, and Facebook. The two main organizations driving the advancement of generative AI technologies are Alphabet’s DeepMind, which was founded in 2010, and OpenAI, which was founded in 2015 and backed by Microsoft. Both research organizations conducted AI research independently, without their sponsors rushing them toward monetization.
Although there had been many doubts from investors over the spending lavished on these labs without generating profits, persistence finally paid off. OpenAI released ChatGPT and Microsoft immediately integrated ChatGPT into their products. In a quick response, Google was able to release Bard, its own AI chatbot, to compete with Microsoft.
Although China’s tech giants – Baidu, Tencent, Alibaba – all have their own AI labs, they hadn’t been able to develop technologies comparable to ChatGPT. A main reason is that, instead of focusing on independent fundamental research, these Chinese tech giants’ AI labs were founded with the mission to improve the profits of their sponsors. Many AI researchers embed with different business units to provide consulting services for improving revenue and profit of that business unit. It was only after ChatGPT demonstrated its monetization capability that many Chinese tech companies, large or small, quickly jumped onboard to announce their plans for developing the Chinese version of ChatGPT. Another gold rush started.
The fundamental mindset of Chinese tech companies is still driven by short-term profit, and they have always looked to the state to sponsor technological leapfrogs. This has happened in the intelligent electric vehicle (IEV) industry, into which the Chinese government has poured tens of billions of dollars through incentives and subsidies. As a result, China today owns the most complete IEV supply chain in the world, and is the largest IEV market, a huge success by any measure.
Coming back to AI research, instead of providing incentives and subsidies for AI companies, the state has decided to develop AI technologies on its own, through state-sponsored AI labs. Instead of having a few national AI labs, however, the Chinese government chose to launch regional AI research labs, financially backed by resourceful metropolitan governments.
For instance, in 2018, the Beijing metropolitan government and the Ministry of Science and Technology (MoST) jointly supported the establishment of the Beijing Academy of Artificial Intelligence (BAAI) to conduct independent AI research. Then in 2020, the Beijing metropolitan government, MoST, and a few leading universities jointly founded the Beijing Institute for General Artificial Intelligence (BIGAI) to conduct general AI research. In 2020, the Shanghai metropolitan government supported the establishment of the Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Lab (SHLAB) to develop a leapfrog general AI platform. In 2020, the Shenzhen metropolitan government supported the establishment of the International Digital Economy Academy (IDEA) to focuses on cutting-edge research and industrial implementation in the field of artificial intelligence and digital economy. Similarly, many other regional governments also established their own AI research labs.
It appears that 2020 was the year the Chinese government decided to directly sponsor fundamental AI research, instead of providing incentives or subsidiaries for private companies. However, the division of work between the state and the private sector remains the same: The state incubates technological leapfrogs, and the private sector focuses on last-mile commercialization of these advanced technologies.
There are two remaining questions. First, will the state consolidate these regional labs into a national AI research system as general AI technology matures? Second, will these state-sponsored AI labs be converted to state-owned enterprises (SOEs) to provision AI technology?
Facing the current geopolitical situation, state-sponsored AI research may have a profound impact on the future world order. Back in the prime days of globalization, China joined the WTO and has since developed an enormous internal market. It has also incubated the world’s most comprehensive and sophisticated supply chain, ranging from textile products to high-tech products such as IEVs. China’s IEV supply chain in particular will spill over to boost the development of the whole robotics and automation sector, filling the labor gap as China’s population ages. Now, AI is the last piece to complete China’s technological self-reliance.
If the state-sponsored AI research movement is successful, China will be fully ready for a whole new world order, should de-globalization come. In comparison, as indicated by U.S. Senator Marco Rubio in a recent speech, after decades of globalization, the U.S. economy has evolved into one that mainly | [

It’s been called the “Saudi Arabia of wind” – not an oil-soaked desert, but a breezy lake on Ontario’s American border.
Now, an Ohio group is moving ahead with plans to harness Lake Erie’s strong gusts, in sharp contrast to neighbouring Ontario that slapped a moratorium on wind farms in all its Great Lakes amid a public backlash to the spectre of the highrise-sized turbines along its shorelines.
The Icebreaker, as it’s been dubbed, will be a small demonstration project with six wind turbines in Erie, about 10 kilometres northeast of Cleveland. It would be North America’s first freshwater wind farm, with construction starting in 2018.
But the project’s backers have visions of wringing much more electrical power out of Erie, saying more than 1,000 industrial wind turbines could be built along the shore of Ohio, a small state without the huge land mass for giant wind farms found in places like Ontario, Texas and Iowa.
Together, all that juice would add up to nearly double the output of Ontario’s inland wind farms, most of which are located in Southwestern Ontario.
“We are definitely going forward – all system are go,” said Dave Karpinski, vice-president of operations for a consortium behind the project, the Lake Erie Energy Development Corp. (LEEDCo).
An alliance of four Ohio counties, the city of Cleveland and some private-sector groups and foundations, the consortium foresees wringing enough power out of wind-blown Erie to have “a sizable impact” on the state’s energy muscle, Karpinski said.
“Our vision is 5,000 megawatts over the next 10 to 15 years,” he said.
Doing the math for how much each turbine can generate, that would require installing about 1,600 wind turbines in the lake.
By comparison, Ontario’s existing wind farms – lightning rods for controversy in many rural areas – together have the capacity to turn out about 3,200 megawatts of power.
Ontario’s Liberal government plunged headlong into green energy six years ago, as it prepared to shut down its dirty coal-fired power plants, signing sweetheart deals with wind energy giants that enraged its critics and stripping municipalities of control over where the giant turbines could be built.
As the opposition mounted, Ontario was poised to plunk down major wind farms in the Great Lakes, with companies advancing proposals for projects in lakes Ontario, Erie, Huron and Superior. But facing a growing backlash from cottagers and others in the run-up to the 2011 election, the Liberals backed off and abruptly slapped a moratorium on offshore wind farms.
In imposing the moratorium, which triggered billions of dollars in ongoing lawsuits against the government by disappointed energy companies, the government said more study was needed before a decision could be made.
That’s not about to change, a spokesperson for Ontario Energy Minister Bob Chiarelli said.
Ontario won’t proceed with offshore wind projects until there’s enough scientific evidence they can be developed in a way that protects both human health and the environment,” said Jordan Owens, Chiarelli’s press secretary.
“We’re taking the time needed to get this right,” he said.
But south of the border, in the Buckeye State, plans are moving apace.
Drawing on experience and expertise from Europe, Karpinski said he has no doubts the modest 20-megawatt wind farm that will launch the project
will be a success, opening the door to development of offshore wind farms in Lake Erie for much more wind energy.
But unlike in Ontario, where offshore wind farms were proposed close to land, the turbines of the Icebreaker project will only be visible from shore on a clear day – but only barely, as thumbnail-sized images on the horizon, Karpinski said.
Without vast stretches of land for wind farms, he said it’s only natural for Ohio to look to its wind-blown shoreline along Erie – the lake that Ohio Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur compared to the Saudi kingdom’s ocean of oil.
“In fact, we have no other choices,” Karpinski said.
Canada’s wind energy industry remains keen about putting turbines in the lakes, where winds blow steadier and more reliably than on land.
“Offshore wind energy development is a proven technology that certainly represents an opportunity to provide additional clean energy benefits for Ontario. The wind energy industry remains interested in working with the Government of Ontario to explore opportunities for Ontario’s offshore wind energy resources,” Jean-François Nolet, vice president of the Canadian Wind Energy Association, an industry group, wrote in an e-mail.
Jane Wilson, president of Wind Concerns Ontario, the umbrella organization for groups opposed to wind farms, said she wasn’t aware of the Erie proposal | [

It's true that kev did not write out the full metric, but given that he was assuming an orbit where for any infinitesimal segment you'd have [tex]d\phi = 0[/tex], those extra terms would disappear anyway so this wouldn't affect his final results. And kev never claimed
he was starting from the full metric, he said in post #8
that he was "Starting with this equation given by pervect", and pervect had already eliminated terms that went to zero.
What about it? That would appear to be an equation for Schwarzschild coordinate velocity (as opposed to kev's 'local velocity') for an object in circular orbit with varying [tex]\theta[/tex] coordinate, as with the type of orbit I described--again, do you agree that the type of orbit I described is a physically valid one? If you agree there would be a valid physical orbit with that type of coordinate description (with [tex]\phi[/tex] having one constant value for half the orbit and a different constant value for the other half), do you disagree that the above equation would be the correct coordinate velocity for an object in this orbit?
I think you don't understand what special pleading
is, the fact that I and others respond to each of your various arguments with counterarguments, resulting in you continually abandoning your previous arguments in favor of new arguments you have invented on the spot, does not qualify as "special pleading". Yes or no, do you acknowledge that the arguments you made against kev's derivation prior
to the new argument you've made in the posts here
kev's formula is not intended to be a "general" one for arbitrary motion, it deals specifically with the case of an object in circular orbit. And since the OP was asking about whether total time dilation was a sum of gravitational and velocity-based time dilation, I thought it would be interesting to point out that for this specific case, total time dilation was actually a product of the two (whereas your more general formula does not relate in any obvious way to the formulas for gravitational and velocity-based time dilation)
Do you deny that the general formula would reduce to the specific formulas found by pervect/kev in the specific case they were considering, namely an infinitesimal section of a circular orbit where the radial coordinate and one of the two angular coordinates are constant?
If a general formula reduces to a more specific formula under the specific conditions assumed in the derivation of the specific formula, I'd say that both are right. | [

Nuclear energy, with the fuel cost being a relatively small part of the overall cost, made good sense in minimising imports and achieving greater energy security. As a result of the 1974 decision, France now claims a substantial level of energy independence and almost the lowest cost electricity in Europe.
Why does France use nuclear?
PARIS, Nov 9 (Reuters) – France will build new nuclear reactors to help the country lessen its dependence on foreign countries for its energy supplies, meet global warming targets and keep prices under control, President Emmanuel Macron said on Tuesday.
What is France’s main energy source?
The electricity sector in France is dominated by nuclear power, which accounted for 72.3% of total production in 2016, while renewables and fossil fuels accounted for 17.8% and 8.6%, respectively. France has the largest share of nuclear electricity in the world.
Why should we rely on nuclear energy?
Nuclear energy protects air quality
It generates power through fission, which is the process of splitting uranium atoms to produce energy. The heat released by fission is used to create steam that spins a turbine to generate electricity without the harmful byproducts emitted by fossil fuels.
How much of France’s energy is nuclear?
In 2020, nuclear energy accounted for 70.6 percent of France’s total energy production. All of the leading ten countries listed are located in Europe.
Share of nuclear power in total domestic electricity generation in 2020, by select country.
|Characteristic||Proportion of nuclear energy|
Why did France want nuclear weapons?
France began its nuclear weapons program in the early 1950s in an effort to restore political and military parity with their perceived peers and potential adversaries. … This policy option, developed in the 1970s, states that France may use nuclear weapons first in order to defend its vital interests.
Why is France shutting down reactors?
EDF said it would stop its plant in Chooz in eastern France because it uses the same kind of reactors. … It will place more pressure on France’s nuclear-reliant power network, after grid operator RTE warned that cold weather over the winter could strain tight winter supply margins.
Does France run on nuclear power?
France derives about 70% of its electricity from nuclear energy, due to a long-standing policy based on energy security. Government policy is to reduce this to 50% by 2035. France is the world’s largest net exporter of electricity due to its very low cost of generation, and gains over €3 billion per year from this.
How does France deal with nuclear waste?
In France, radioactive waste management is strictly regulated by the Law of 28 June 2006. Producers of waste (including EDF) are technically and financially responsible for their waste. It falls to the French National Waste Management Agency (Andra) to design, build and operate the required waste disposal facilities.
Is France phasing out nuclear power?
While historical dependence on nuclear is large and seen by President Macron as France’s sole asset in the fight against climate change, the government is actively phasing out its use. … The safety of nuclear reactors is ensured at the development and operational levels through numerous measures. | [

The inspiration for this blog comes from Mahatria’s today’s thought received from my friend. It says:
All of us need endorsement from the world for a few aspects. If you need endorsement from the world for every aspect, then you are not happy about yourself, you have not loved yourself, you have never respected yourself. If you have never loved yourself, if you have never respected yourself, you will keep demanding respect from everybody on some ground or other like I am the boss, I am the senior etc. You will hide behind the label.
It’s a beautiful thought and while we can deny this being applicable to us, what we can’t deny is that all of us would have come across such persons in our day to day life experiences. Why there are so many funny and not so funny folklores around boss- subordinate relationship? Ditto senior-junior! And this list can be expanded to include combinations such as rich-poor, husband-wife, topper- laggard, weak-strong etc.
There’s an old saying that respect has to be earned and not given or demanded. In today’s world, we are all interdependent! An entrepreneur needs people to work for him for which he pays wages! And this can be extended to any relationship- boss and subordinate, buyer and seller, cabbie and passenger, our drivers, security guards, maids – we pay them for the services availed of them! Does this automatically entitle employer, hirer, boss, senior, landlord et al to be respected? Unless there’s a larger purpose linked to our action and our acts are selfless, we will be entitled to be respected not for our own self but because of the position we hold!
Let’s not worry about being respected but try and become humans first. When we pay for a stuff or service, it’s a transaction; when we do something without expecting anything in return, it’s the larger purpose! When we applaud Corona warriors and supply them with PPE kits, masks and hand sanitizers, when we pay salaries to our servants, maids, drivers, employees during months of lockdown instead of laying them off, when we donate for PM Cares, Aamphan and Nisarga victims, when we stand behind our soldiers braving the enemy brutality, in short, when we selflessly think about community, society, nation, city, underprivileged, weak without expecting anything in return or recognition, we become eligible of being respected by no less than the almighty himself, leaving no desire for being respected by ordinary human mortals! | [

By Joseph Erunke – Abuja
The federal government has said a total of 3.1 million households in Nigeria will benefit from its Homegrown School Feeding programme during the lockdown period.
The revelation came as 520 people living with disabilities in Abuja village, Saturday, benefited from its ongoing palliatives following the lockdown declared to control the spread of coronavirus in the country.
Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development, Sadiya Umar Farouq, speaking at the Disabled Colony, a settlement in Abuja for the PLWD and located at Karmajiji Village, along Musa Yar’Adua Expressway, said the government was going through state governments to reach the beneficiaries.
Handing over the palliatives to the 520 beneficiaries, the minister explained that the government’s gesture was aimed at cushioning the hardship they were facing as a result of the lockdown.
She said the government was also reaching out with…

I welcomed the Saabaru with open arms today like a new father hoping that his child would be a strapping boy, ready to train to be the next-best running back. When the car arrived, I was crushed to find out that the strapping lad was an automatic lassie (all due respect for the battle of the sexes, it just made of an easier analogy of how I felt). One good thing: the car wasn't gray like every one I've seen at auto shows or in pictures.
Besides those two sources, I?ve never seen a 9-2x on the roads and neither have other people. I stopped at a local car dealership (like I don?t get enough of cars already) and after the dealers swarmed me to see if I needed help, the swarmed the Saab. One asked me if the hood scoop was functional. Yup, there?s an intercooler under there. Thank goodness this was an Aero.
The attention the car gets is not surprising, seeing that Saab normally sells about 500 a month and it really is a good-looking little wagon. When I parked it, I performed the ole?look back and check what I?m driving? glance. The Saab front end and 17? alloy wheels (and Deep Blue Mica paint) really give the car something I don?t see in the Subaru. Which brings us to the big question?
Is the Saab worth the extra cost of admission? Sticker shock was immediate with a grand total of $31,445, but I?d drop the $1,250 off the sticker to get rid of the automatic transmission and advise everyone else to also. Turbo-lag and the automatic are tough bedfellows, but it is my challenge this week to get the Saab to launch like I want it to. Other options on this car are a $600 Cold Weather Package (heated front seats, heater outer mirrors and wiper de-icer) and the $1,950 Sport Package (17? alloy wheels and performance tires and a power sunroof).
Saab has me drawn to the looks in my introduction, but tomorrow we?ll get into the interior and see if there?s enough on the inside to make it worth driving past the Subaru dealer. | [

Into The Dreaming by Karen Marie Moning
What can I say? I really like her writing. But what I love best about this novella, the edition I read particularly, is that it clarified an issue I was having with her two series. The Highlander series is a historical romance that borders on the paranormal. Her Fever series on the other hand is a straight up paranormal that has a decisive element of romance.
So where’s the problem you ask?
Well, both series involve the Fae. I was under the impression that the universes overlapped, but I assumed wrong. In this brief and beautiful story, Karen went through the first stages of creating the Fever series as it is today. So it shares similar characters, but are not at all related.
What would Highland warrior Aedan ManKinnon do to save his family and home? Anything. Even give himself over to the Unseelie King for imprisonment. Five years doesn’t seem like too much to ask, except that five years in Faery is five hundred years in the mortal realm. By that time, the dark King has almost created himself a perfect new Vengeance of the broken highlander.
But the Seelie Queen, sworn rival of the dark one, has taken a keen interest in keeping the King from his goal. Sending an enchanted tapestry through time to the only woman that can set Aedan free doesn’t seem like cheating. More like giving the doomed warrior a fighting chance.
Jane Sillee didn’t expect to wake up on the shores of an ancient land. She’d simply been trying to get her novel published. But the fools she’d sent it to said her leading man wasn’t real enough, even though he’d starred in her dreams all her life. Now he stands atop a ruined keep, and she must win him over to save them both.
I found this story engaging, colorful, and a little too close to home. *Shivers* Creepy. Any-who, I give it four and a half stars that managed to keep shining over the centuries. And Jane, I feel ya chickie. | [

Cnidarian, or, Coelenterate, an animal of the phylum Cnidaria, or Coelenterata. The phylum includes the corals, hydras, jellyfish, Portuguese man-of-war, and sea anemones. Cnidarians are water-dwelling animals. The body is typically cylindrical or bell-shaped and has a single opening used for taking in food and excreting wastes. Arranged around the opening are tentacles armed with cnidocytes, cells used to sting prey and enemies. Some cnidarians live singly, others in large colonies.The cnidarian has tentacles armed with cnidocytes, cells used to sting prey and enemies.
For an underwater tourist, whether in a wetsuit or in front of a TV, a major attraction is a coral reef, an amazing ecosystem inhabited by myriad colorful marine creatures. Unfortunately, coral reefs are in danger of disappearing unless immediate steps are taken to preserve this natural wonder. Take this quiz to learn more about what needs to be done.
A friend of mine gave me a package of Sea Monkeys as a gag gift for my birthday. I grew them, and they look nothing like the package but they really are alive! What are these things? | [

FuMPFest 2018 - Live!
Memorial Day Weekend, 2018, fans of comedy music once again descended on Chicago for the 5th go around of FuMPFest, and the result was a glorious weekend of laughter and music. This compilation, recorded live at FuMPFest 2018, features many highlights from the weekend, from performances, to special events, and all the weird stuff in between.
Devo Spice started off the weekend with the debut of the Naughty By Nature parody "The FuMP's OK." Lauren Mayer performed a full set for the first time, as did Bill Larkin, and The Shanty Shipwreck Show. And hey, Mikey Mason actually showed up this time, invalidating his Bingo square.
2018's guest of honor was none other than The Four Postmen who put on an amazing two-hour show on Saturday night filled with all their hits, like "The Chainsaw Juggler," "Rabbit Valley," and "Let Me Make You Smile in Bed." There was also an incident involving Postman #5's underwear but we won't get into that right now. You can hear the aftermath of it on the compilation, though.
FuMPFest 2018 was also the home of the 8th annual Logan Whitehurst Memorial Award for Excellence in Comedy Music, and for the first time in the history of the awards all the winners were present to accept their award.
FuMPFest 2018 also featured the premiere of What The FuMP?, a new game show hosted by Luke Ski, and this compilation includes the recording of the championship round where Mr. Arthur squared off against Eclectic Lee Seitz for the title.
Relive the glory of this fabulous weekend, or if you weren't there hear what you missed, and then go register for this year's event.

The full moon on 23rd July 2021 – Friday, might seem uncanny orange, especially to those who reside under smoky skies prevailing from the burning wildfire between summers.
To catch a glimpse of this once-in-a-blue-moon event, see the full moon July 2021 at 10:37 p.m. on Friday (Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) on 24th July, Saturday).
According to the space experts, this would be the time, the Earth, the sun, and the moon would be in proper alignment. However, the Moon would be five degrees off the Earth’s orbital plane, thus, the Sun’s light will reflect on the near side of the moon, making it appear orange.
As per NASA reports, the viewers would be able to witness this extraordinary event for around 3 days (from the evening of Thursday (22nd July) through the morning of Saturday).
Further investigations led to the conclusion that the full moon July 2021 will be appearing of this bizarre color due to air pollution. As per the NYC-based publication, due to around 120 burning fires on the West Coast of the US, smoke particles have dispersed all around the country creating clouds of smog and reducing the air quality, thus, the moon will appear orange and the sun will be tinted red.
Providing more information on the topic, NASA has reported that the full moon July 2021 will be the result of long and short wavelengths of smoke bricks. The shorter wavelengths are blue, green, and yellow, while the longer wavelengths are red and orange, which will seem dominant especially during the sunrise and sunset giving the sky reddish and orange hues.
Moreover, NASA also revealed that this full moon is named Buck Moon after taking into account the Old Maine Farmer’s Almanac 1930s publication about the full moon. | [

The space shuttle Endeavour launched successfully on its 25th and final spaceflight on 16 May at 08.56 a.m. local time. It carried the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS-02), designed to operate as an external module on the International Space Station (ISS). Endeavour was scheduled to dock with the ISS nearly 48 hours later, on 18 May, for a 16-day mission. A problem with an auxilliary power unit had led to the last-minute postponement of the earlier planned launch on 29 April.
AMS will study the universe and its origin by searching for antimatter and dark matter while performing precision measurements of the composition and flux of cosmic rays. There will be more about the mission in the next issue of CERN Courier. | [

Christmas cards have changed a lot in my lifetime. At some point, the traditional Christmas card became more rare than the “family photo” holiday card. For a person who spent some lonely years in her twenties, then struggled with infertility in her thirties, the family photo Christmas card was a dream for much longer than it was an option.
But three years ago my dream came true. I finally had a family. I could finally order picture Christmas cards. And I did. I ordered tons of them and sent them out until I ran out of stamps. Then I bought more stamps and ordered more cards! I think one year I ordered several different designs. My heart is so grateful to be in a place that allows me to send those cards. Having a son that looks like a baby model is an added bonus ;). This past week I think I got mail from every company that produces and sells these cards. I saw several designs I love and they even have ornament cards! Ornament cards...I love that idea! The excitement is still in me... I have a family and an adorable child that I am extremely grateful for and I want the whole world to know it! However, even though I enjoy sending those cards, this year our family is going “old school”. We are going to send traditional Christmas cards. Before I explain why, let me put my disclaimer here. I love getting Christmas cards. I love getting traditional ones, family photo ones, cute baby ones and the creative funny ones where the only person in the picture is Matt’s 40-year-old cousin dressed like an elf sitting on a shelf. I am not saying “no one should send photo Christmas cards” (please don’t cross me off your list)! I am just challenging myself to go “old school” and these are the reasons why:
Reason #: I recently read an article and one statement in it really stuck with me. Annie, from Catholic Wife, Catholic Life wrote a post about really trying to become a saint. In that article she wrote, “Stop thinking of yourself and start thinking of HIm“. I had an “aha” moment when I read that statement. Now, I am sure that my friends and family LOVE getting pictures of our son and my husband and I. They probably stare at it every day and show it to all their houseguests. They probably discuss my creativity at the dinner table. Over dessert I am sure they comment on how handsome my husband is and how we have an absolutely perfect son. Really, I mean, let’s be honest. Matt and I have the greatest child the Lord has ever created. O wait... that’s probably not what happens. The truth is, I am going to look at a that card more than anyone. I’ll look it at when I design it (and it will take me hours). I’ll look at it when they come in the mail. I’ll look at it when I address the envelopes...etc. You get the picture. But, if I am going to stop thinking of me and start thinking of Him, I should be looking at cards that picture Our Lord, the Holy Family, Our Blessed Mother and her child, the Three Wise Men.... As I write out the envelopes, my mind can envision the Lord and ALL his gifts (including my wonderful husband and adorable son).
Reason #2: Cards cost money. And the cards I like cost more than the average card. Snapfish and Shutterfly get business from me all year. They are not going under if I forgo the photo card this year. On top of that, the Sacred Heart Monastery sent me free Christmas cards. The Priests of the Sacred Heart ask for a donation and offer to pray a special Novena of Masses beginning on Christmas Day for the recipients. Why don’t I give the money I would have given to a company and give it to their mission? Not only am I giving money towards some noble work, I am also giving my family and friends the gift of someone praying for them. Mary’s Miraculous Medal Family offers three free Christmas cards and sells additional ones, and the recipients get a Mass said for them every day for a year. If you like this idea, but feel a different cause needs your support – check out cardsthatgive.org – you may find an organization that you are already passionate about!
Reason #3: Saint Therese’ stated “Miss no single opportunity of making some small sacrifice, here by a smiling look, there by a kindly word; always doing the smallest right and doing it all for love.” Not sending Christmas cards with my family’s or my son’t picture on it is an extremely small sacrifice. But, it still is a sacrifice. I haven’t been able to throw out those catalogs I received in the mail from tiny prints and the like. It’s truly a small sacrifice.

Maximizing Your SLOT MACHINE GAME winnings
A slot machine game, also known as a fruit machine, slot machine game, the slots or pugs, fruit machines, or just slot, can be an electronic gambling machine that generates a casino game of luck because of its users. Slots are believed popular because of the massive amount jackpots provided by these machines and the appeal to players of random number generators. There are various kinds of slot machines that are available in casinos. While playing slots you can win a prize.
Many of the most well known slots will be the seven and five reels progressive jackpot games. These progressive jackpots offer players much bigger amounts of money than any other machine in the casino. Generally, progressive jackpots are won only when a player plays the machine and wins at least a single spin. There are limits set on what many consecutive spins it takes to win a jackpot. On a nine or more spins a player includes a much higher chance of winning the progressive jackpot.
When you place your bet on a slot machine game, you’ll be able to have 1 of 2 possible pay lines. It is possible to either choose a one or perhaps a two combination pay line. Slots generally work with a random number generator to choose pay lines. This means that when you place your bet the numbers which are produced are not ones that you could predict.
Each casino has its own particular definition of a slot machine. A few of the casinos restrict slot machines to a certain amount of spins, while others permit you to play them so long as you like. In some casinos you will find that you cannot play a slot machine for more than 3 minutes at any one time. This is because the casino uses this time around to examine the machine and make sure that it is in good operating order. If you run out of time before three minutes, the machine will undoubtedly be re-plugged and you will need to wait until the next three minutes are up in order to play.
Many people mistakenly think that it doesn’t really matter what they place their bets on. After all, you will end up playing a slot machine and you won’t know if you are winning unless you see the payoff counter. There is absolutely no way to determine what the payoff counter is for. It really is only an estimate based on the initial spin. Most people playing slots think that it generally does not really matter what they place their bets on because they will be able to get back whatever they spend.
Although it may look like casino goers aren’t very intelligent, they do realize that the odds of winning on slot machines won’t be the same as betting on roulette, bingo, or other live games. Their strategies include staying true to the amount they bet and monitoring whether or not they have observed a pattern in the manner that the coin size has changed. Slot machine gamblers should always remember that casino scalpers often change the coin size on the run.
The number of players in a casino may also affect the probability of hitting a jackpot. Playing with fewer players gives slot machine game gamblers an improved chance at hitting the jackpot. On the other hand, playing with too many players has the exact opposite effect. When there are a large number of players, the slot machine game is more likely to spend a smaller jackpot. Generally in most casinos, slot machine game players can switch from single players to multi-player slots by gaining extra credits by winning on regular slots. Multi-player sm 카지노 slots have a lesser jackpot, but since each player is playing the same amount, the casino will pay out the same amount it doesn’t matter how lots of people actually win.
Slots that pay out small amounts generally have a higher reels than those with larger payouts. If you place a bet on a machine with a low payout, you will have a better chance at getting the cash back. However, it’s smart not to place all of your chips on the first reel. Instead, spread your bets across the reels, and don’t put all of your eggs in a single basket. | [

Collapse improves Minnesota bridge policy
ST. PAUL - Transportation experts say states reviewed bridge policies after the Interstate 35W bridge collapse, but wonder if the issue will be a national priority long after this week's findings from a collapse investigation.
Minnesota officials, a bridge expert studying the collapse and transportation-minded lawmakers said the state has improved its bridge inspections and understanding of bridge design and safety following the Aug. 1, 2007, Minneapolis collapse.
It is too soon, however, to know whether the collapse and the National Transportation Safety Board's probe into the cause will lead to continued attention to bridge safety.
"Overall, our bridge department's going to come out of this in a much stronger position," said Steve Murphy, a Red Wing Democrat and chairman of the state Senate Transportation Committee that has monitored post-collapse bridge developments.
"My only worry is that other departments across the United States are not making the same effort to update their bridge programs and the way they go about acquiring evidence through their inspection process," he added.
The NTSB today concludes a two-day hearing of its year-long Interstate 35W bridge investigation.
The bridge collapse started at an area of inferior steel elements known as gusset plates, federal transportation investigators said Thursday, faulting the original design of a critical element of the bridge that fell into - the Mississippi River.
"This terrible tragedy began some 40 years ago with an inadequate design of a gusset plate or, in this case, a number of gusset plates," NTSB Chairman Mark Rosenker said of the collapse that resulted in 13 deaths and injuries to more than 140.
Investigators' focused their report Thursday on gusset plates half as thick as they should have been and the effect of extra weight from construction materials and equipment on the bridge deck the day of the collapse.
They said their investigation ruled out several other theories behind the collapse, including corroded bridge components.
Even before the NTSB released its findings, local transportation officials said the collapse and subsequent investigation changed bridge safety in Minnesota.
State Bridge Engineer Dan Dorgan, who was in Washington for the NTSB report, told state lawmakers Wednesday Minnesota led states earlier this year in reviewing gusset plates on similarly designed bridges. NTSB officials sought the review in January after announcing gusset plates were a focus of their investigation.
Dorgan, Minnesota Department of Transportation's top bridge official, said state officials also have shared lessons they learned from the collapse with their counterparts across the country.
Gov. Tim Pawlenty, a Republican who blamed some Democrats for jumping to conclusions about the cause of the bridge collapse, said the NTSB results "underscore why it was important to withhold judgment until the investigation was complete."
The collapse led to renewed attention to sophisticated engineering techniques used in recent bridge construction, a University of Minnesota professor said.
The collapse prompted state transportation agencies to take a closer look at similarly designed bridges in their states, and there may be a greater use of equipment built into a bridge that constantly assesses the structure's condition, said Roberto Ballarini, who leads the university's Civil Engineering Department.
Ballarini said civil engineering theories develop slowly, so not much has changed in the 15 months since the collapse. However, he said, it likely will prompt more research into bridge design.
"As time progresses, there probably will be a lot more modeling of the structures on the computer to predict their behavior," said Ballarini, who with university faculty and students is completing a separate investigation into the bridge collapse. He described it as a small-scale version of the NTSB investigation.
The NTSB findings come months before Congress starts writing new legislation that will guide federal highway and bridge funding.
U.S. Rep. Jim Oberstar, who leads the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, refused to discuss Thursday either the NTSB report or the impact of the collapse on bridge safety before the federal panel concluded its two-day hearing. Oberstar's spokesman said the congressman would comment today at the conclusion of the two-day hearing, when the NTSB releases its summary report.
Oberstar's opinion on the bridge collapse and investigation is significant given that he is expected to lead the committee next year that will draft new transportation policy. Further, he has criticized the NTSB for a leak to the media about its investigation and has been skeptical of its focus.
While a lack of maintenance may not be a cause of the bridge collapse, states still need to place a greater emphasis on maintaining their bridges, said Murphy, the lawmaker.
Minnesota is doing a better job of that than many other states, he added.
"I've got every confidence that they're going to move forward and continue to make the appropriate changes so that the public is safe," Murphy said of state bridge officials. | [

The Blue Heron Bridge snorkeling trail is one of the best places in West Palm Beach to take your family and friends for an underwater journey. Visit the Phil Foster Park and explore Florida’s vibrant marine life!
Where is the Blue Heron Bridge snorkeling trail?
The Blue Heron Bridge in Palm Beach Country connects Signer Island to Florida mainland. On the small island under the bridge in the Lake Worth Lagoon there is a 15-acre beach park, the Phil Foster Park which is a life-guarded beach with a fishing area and playground.
Some years ago, an underwater park (commonly known as Blue Heron Bridge snorkeling trail or Phil Foster snorkel trail) was added to the park in order to make it attractive for divers and snorkelers. The installations (concrete blocks, statues and a shipwreck) attract various sea creatures to the area so the beach park became a fantastic place to dive and one of the best snorkel places in Florida.
To get to the Phil Foster snorkel trail, take the Blue Heron Blvd towards Singer Island and turn left at the park sign. Free parking is available as well as restrooms and outdoor showers. Also, there is a supermarket within walking distance.
Phil Foster Park snorkel trail map
The Blue Heron Bridge snorkeling trail is about 800 ft long and runs about 200 ft offshore. With easy access from a sandy beach, fantastic visibility and an average depth of 6-10 feet, it is a perfect place for shore snorkeling and shallow water diving.
The trail mimics a barrier reef including 6 concrete modules, 15 larger and several smaller rock piles along the shore. The small rocks provide shelter to tiny marine animals while as corals started to grow on the blocks, many different fish species settle down here.
Besides the artificial reef installation, you will also find other structures like a small shipwreck, shopping carts and even 3 hammerhead shark statues! The shark sculptures were donated to the Phil Foster snorkel trail by Tom McDonald artist in 2015.
You can see the location of the underwater objects as well as the recommended entry and exit points on the Blue Heron Bridge snorkeling map below!
Tip: if you are around, don’t miss out on visiting the nearby Peanut Island Park snorkeling lagoon!
The Phil Foster Park, like other Florida State Parks, is a well-maintained area that offers everything you need for a relaxing beach day. If you decide to take your family for a Blue Heron Bridge snorkeling tour, pack the usual beach essentials.
The nearby dive shop and Jupiter Outdoor Center offer gear and kayak rental and provides tanks for divers, but if you have one, bring your own equipment for snorkeling! The diving/snorkeling area is protected with buoys where boats cannot enter. However, be aware that according to Florida law, carrying a surface marker/dive flag is mandatory. Although this rule originally applies to divers, since the diving/snorkel area lies next to a busy boat channel, carry one for your own safety.
Marine life and fish species
Although the Blue Heron Bridge snorkeling trail doesn’t offer such vibrant reefs that you can see for example on a John Pennekamp snorkel tour in Key Largo, but there is a lot more to see here than you might think!
Thanks to its geographical location, the Phil Foster Park became a resting place and breeding area for many marine species. The biodiversity is amazing; more than 300 species have been observed here from the giant Florida manatees to tiny worms and nudibranchs.
Most common fish species to see on a Blue Heron Bridge snorkeling trip:
If you are a keen observer, you might spot sea stars, seahorse, octopus, crabs, shrimps and lobster too. If all these would not be enough, stingrays, eagle rays and sometimes turtles also visit the trail!
What is the best time to snorkel at Blue Heron Bridge?
Snorkeling at Phil Foster Park is possible all year round if the weather allows water activities. In summer, wear UV protection rash guard to avoid sunburn and prevent jellyfish stings, while in winter, the best is to use a neoprene suit for snorkeling that keeps you warm.
The Blue Heron Bridge snorkel trail is a strictly high-tide spot! The incoming tide brings in fresh, clear ocean water making the visibility excellent and the reef lively. At low tide, due to limited visibility and strong tidal currents, water activities can be dangerous, therefore entering the water at low tide is not recommended.
The best time for diving and snorkeling starts 1 hour-30 minutes | [

X-ray microtomography for the characterization of optical fibers.
Crocco M.C., Ferraro M., Crocco M.C., Mangini F., Jonard M., Sangiovanni F., Zitelli M., Filosa R., Beltrano J.J., De Luca A., Barberi R.C., Agostino R.G., Couderc V., Wabnitz S., Formoso V.
The full characterization of glass optical fibers consists of determining the value of the refractive index within their entire volume. In this framework, optical techniques present some limitations, $e.g.$, these require the absence of plastic coating. The latter, in fact, absorbs the optical radiation, thus preventing light from reaching the glass fiber, hindering its post-coating characterization. In order to overcome these limits, we propose to exploit the X-ray absorption properties of glass, thus demonstrating a new tool for the measurement of the 3D spatial profile of the refractive index of standard optical fibers. In particular, by means of absorption contrast X-ray microtomography, we characterize both microstructured ($e.g.$, photonics crystal fibers) and standard optical fibers, whose core/cladding refractive index difference is provided by doping either the core or the cladding. In order to confirm the validity of our approach, the results obtained are compared with complementary characterization techniques, based on electron spectroscopy and multiphoton microscopy. | [

"...consider what impetuous force
Turns stars and planets in a diff'rent course.
I steer against their motions; nor am I
Born back by all the current of the sky.
But how cou'd you resist the orbs that roul
In adverse whirls, and stem the rapid pole?"-- Ovid, poet, Metamorphoses Book II: Phaeton, 8
"Have we of all mankind been deemed deserving that heaven, its poles uptorn, should overwhelm us? In our time has the last day come?" -- Lucius A. Seneca, philosopher statesman, Thyestes, 1st century
Greenland and Antarctica are currently in an ice age. But this has not always been the case. Formerly temperate green continents such as Greenland and Antarctica (see my post When Antarctica Was Green) weren't always located at the poles. So-called "ice ages" such as exist in Antarctica and Greenland today are only caused by axis shift. There was an astronomical catastrophe. Though some giants and megafauna survived, it should be called the P-H Extinction Event since it marked the end of the Pleistocene and the beginning of the Holocene.
Woelfli, W., and Baltensperger, W., A Link Between an Ice Age Era and a Rapid Polar Shift, Jul 2004
The striking asymmetry of the ice cover during the Last Global Maximum suggests that the North Pole was in Greenland and then rapidly shifted to its present position in the Arctic Sea. A scenario which causes such a rapid geographic polar shift is physically possible. It involves an additional planet, which disappeared by evaporation within the Holocene. This is only possible within such a short period, if the planet was in an extremely eccentric orbit and hot. Then, since this produced an interplanetary gas cloud, the polar shift had to be preceded by a cold period with large global temperature variations during several million years.Either that or maybe there really isn't a global conspiracy spanning several millenia to convince us Venus is a new planet.
"As Zeus's daughter [Venus] she'll be immortal and live in heaven with her brothers, Pollux and Castor, the heavenly twins, an extra star for ships to steer their courses by." -- Euripides, playwright, Orestes, 408 B.C.
"Then, it was then that Zeus changed the radiant paths of the stars, and the light of the sun, and the bright face of dawn; and the sun drove across the western back of the sky with hot flame from heaven's fires, while the rain-clouds went northward and Ammon's lands [Egypt] grew parched and faint, not knowing moisture, robbed of heaven's fairest showers of rain." --Euripides, playwright, Electra, 408 B.C.
"Some of the Italians called Pythagoreans say that the comet is one of the planets [Venus]." -- Aristotle, philosopher, Meteorology, 350 B.C.
"...all the comets that have been seen in our day have vanished without setting, gradually fading away above the horizon; and they have not left behind them either one or more stars.... Democritus however, insists upon the truth of his view and affirms that certain stars [Venus] have been seen when comets dissolve." -- Aristotle, philosopher, Meteorology, 350 B.C.
"Here you see the Morning Star [Venus]. Who sees the Morning Star shall see more, for he shall be wise." -- Black Elk, medicine man, August 1930

"These four-planet systems and the inability of the ancient Hindus and Babylonians to see Venus in the sky, even though it is more conspicuous than the other planets, are puzzling unless Venus was not among the planets." -- Immanuel Velikovsky, cosmologist, 1950 | [

The Carlisle A.C.T. HD is a mud terrain all season tire manufactured for ATVs and UTVs.
The tire promotes great off-road traction. The tread design’s high void ratio and the tread lugs increase the soft and loose terrain traction. They are capable of finding good road grip on such road surfaces and ensure a safer off-road drive. The tread design’s self-cleaning nature disperses mud stuck between the tread elements to maintain the tire’s constant road grip. This allows the tire to perform well in all weather and on all off-road conditions.
The model’s internal structure features a 6 ply construction. This stabilizes and strengthens the tread area and the tire’s structure, stiffening the sidewalls as well. They actively prevent deformation during the drive, even under heavy load pressure, allowing the tire to perform well in such situations. The reinforced construction also manages to prevent punctures and other off-road damage from harming the tire’s structure, guaranteeing a safer drive.
The A.C.T. HD offers protection to the rims. The sidewalls are designed in a way that they guard the wheels from accidental curb damage, ensuring a secure driving experience.
The intended purpose of Mud Terrain tire types is off-road use. They are not designed for regular highway driving.

Back in February, I had heard that the Catholic Voices team would be coming to the Archdiocese of Boston. A few folks I know gave me a nudge to apply. I wasn’t sure I was a good candidate, but I was curious nonetheless.
Catholic Voices is a program that takes committed Catholics who want to be better
spokespersons witnesses for the Church in the public square.
Being a catechist, my usual role is one of teacher and evangelizer. I’m someone who is usually working with people who are already interested in the subject matter at hand. Now and again, in church settings, I get questions hostile to the faith, but mostly, the folks I meet are there to learn and grow in their faith, and the natural disagreements we encounter at times within the learning process are usually handled in a civilized manner, not with media cameras and microphones rolling!
To be honest, I had some mixed feelings about applying for Catholic Voices, since I tend not to want to engage in fighting over church teaching with other people. I know a lot of good people who do that very well, the um, creative engagement with the folks who want to fight or diss the church for her stances on things. There are some great apologists out there for the faith, but I did not consider myself one of them. I feel that my ministry is to convey the faith with as much love and friendship as I can muster. People have free will and they can accept of reject what is said. I considered myself a person whose strengths are for those Catholics who are in the pews and need a deeper experience of the faith.
I never saw myself as someone who might reach beyond the pew to the media channels that exist beyond the Catholic media that I am already engaged in.
Yet, with the subsequent publishing of my book, I felt it was time that I sharpen my abilities to handle media settings, especially those opportunities that were outside of the Christian and Catholic media circles. Not to mention, any writer and speaker can always use improvement in sharpening one’s message to one’s audiences.
So I applied to attend the Catholic Voices training session, complete with a questionnaire, bio inquiry, even creating a video short of myself explaining my faith to fallen away Catholic. To be honest, I tend to be a bit self-conscious in front of the camera, and usually avoid it at all costs. I prefer radio segments to all the prep that has to go into a television interview. So I figured the video portion of my application might sink the whole thing. Not to mention, I tend not to want to argue with people who get hot under the collar where Church issues are concerned — have I mentioned this already? — preferring instead to keep the relationship intact so we can live to discuss things on another day. Truth be told, in years past, I’ve had problems with my temper, and the last thing I want to do is discredit or dishonor the Lord or the Church because of a sinful misstep on my part.
Save for the grace of God, I still applied, and to my shock, Catholic Voice accepted me!
So in April, I met with the varied group of willing volunteers to undertake some education and practical training for radio and television interviews where the Catholic faith intersects the public square.
Catholic Voices first began in the UK in anticipation of Pope Benedict’s Apostolic visit to those countries…
Catholic Voices is a project which began in the UK to improve the Church’s representation in the media, above all in news programs and debates. It started in 2010 with the six-month training of 24 lay people and a priest in preparation for the UK visit of Pope Benedict XVI. Our appearances on over 100 programs at that time made a big impression on bishops and broadcasters alike and we were urged to continue.
Since then the project has grown in many ways in the UK and has spread quickly around the world: there are currently 10 active CV groups in the world, in Europe, the Americas and Australia. (–From the UK website.)
Catholic Voices USA is lead by Kathryn Jean Lopez, the amazingly prolific Editor at large for National Review Online and contributor to numerous mainstream and Catholic periodicals and websites. (Until her recent appointment to Cardinal Timothy Dolan’s team, Kim Daniels was co-director.) Kim was present to give the training in Boston alongside Lopez, and others at the Pastoral Center at the Archdiocese of Boston. These men and women shared their vision for a better Catholic media presence when news is breaking, and when Catholic ideals and mission need better explanation to the public at large.
Catholic Voices USA states its mission:
The mission of Catholic Voices USA is to put the Church’s case in the public square. We speak as Catholics who know and love the Church and have the authority of direct lived experience. We’re media-friendly and studio- | [
