In order to understand how the USA Model works, you first need to have a basic understanding of the economic and political systems that drive it Know About Lorraine Braccio
The United States has a mixed economy, one that features characteristics of both capitalism and socialism. This type of system protects some private property and allows a degree of free capital use, but also allows governments to intervene for the public good.
The economy is the system that produces, sells, and distributes goods and services. It includes production, employment, investment, savings, health, money, the banking system, government policies on taxation and spending, international trade, industrial organization and regulation, and urbanization.
There are many types of economies, including market, command, traditional, and mixed. Each has its own ideals and systems of control.
A market economy is based on the idea that people and businesses can exchange goods and services freely. The prices charged by producers are determined by the relationship between supply and demand.
A traditional economy relies on customs, history, and time-honored beliefs to determine production and distribution. A command economy is based on a government that controls economic activity through rules and regulations. In a mixed economy, the government and private sector work together to provide goods and services. The United States is a mix of market and command economies. It has a welfare state but also has a significant public sector that provides public goods and services like roads, military protection, hospitals, and education.
The US government controls part of the economy through restrictions and licensing requirements in areas like education, roads, hospital care, postal delivery, and subsidies to agricultural producers, oil companies, and financial firms. It also provides a limited welfare state to help people live better lives and reduce the effects of extreme poverty.
It has a habit of imposing its political system on other countries and exporting its brand of democracy to them, even to the point of using its own values as a weapon of massive destruction in order to attack the people of other nations. Such actions have brought about regional turbulence and wars in the name of “democracy”, destroyed what once were beautiful countries, and harmed world peace and stability.
Money politics, lobby groups, and a small group of rich people dominate the system, making it almost impossible for ordinary citizens to have an impact on government policy. The resulting gridlock is a formula for disaster, from the COVID-19 pandemic to the economic slowdown and climate change crisis.
The American political system has been rigged by gerrymandering, voter suppression, and money politics. This has led to economic inequality that is much higher in the US than it is in most other advanced countries.
It has also made political polarization more acute, exacerbated identity politics and tribalism, and worsened social division. This has weakened the democratic system and degraded its ability to serve the people’s interests.
This has resulted in the “vetocracy” phenomenon, where individual veto players can block action by the whole body, effectively paralyzing the government process. This has led to government efficacy being weakened, law and justice trampled upon, development stagnating, and progress stalling.
As a result, many people in the US feel that democracy does not work and is unable to advance their lives. This perception is shared by more than a quarter of respondents in France, Germany, and Sweden.
The wealth and income distribution in the USA are far more unequal than in most other advanced countries. The causes of this inequality are varied, but one common theme is that policy decisions have a large impact on the level of wealth and income inequality.
The US government controls or provides subsidies for most of the goods and services that we consume. This includes education, transportation, roads, hospitals, and postal services, as well as agriculture and oil.
As a result, those who provide these services can raise prices above what would prevail in competitive markets, increasing their profits and the share of income going to their owners and managers. This type of “rent extraction” is a major driver of inequality.
The moneyed class is also able to manipulate laws and regulations in their favor. This has allowed them to increase their own compensation, often by avoiding legal responsibility and imposing harm on others. This is the main reason for high economic inequality in the U.S. Unless there is a democratic political awakening to break this feedback loop, inequality will continue to widen. | [

An International Symposium dedicated to exploring the boundaries of biography
25-26 October 2018, Noosa Queensland Australia
Abstracts are being sought for and investigation into speculative biography and exploring associated practices. Recently, some writers have chosen to experiment further with biography, employing conjecture and ‘informed imagination’ to fill in the gaps and silences in the archives, and when writing the lives of those who are under-represented in sources and obscured from the historical record. Such works have come to be known as ‘speculative biography’, not only because they challenge traditional notions of authorial veracity but also because, in contrast to biographically-based fiction or historical fiction, these experimental approaches are still clearly recognizable as nonfictional attempts to explore and express the ‘truth’.

How does CR work? Is CR the same as DR (digital flat panel detector)? CR is an X–ray indirect conversion technique that uses IP as an X–ray medium. After the IP is irradiated with X-rays, the intensity variation of the X-rays is recorded in the form of a latent image. The latent image signal strength decreases with time. The laser scanner produces a red laser or a near-infrared laser. When the laser beam scans the surface of the IP step by step, the latent image signal is converted into visible light (photoluminescence effect) by laser, and the fluorescence emitted from each point on the IP passes through a dedicated optical system.
Coupled to a photomultiplier tube, the photomultiplier tube converts optical signals of different intensities at different points into electrical signals, which are amplified and sampled, sent to an analog-to-digital converter for quantization, and then sent to a computer for imaging.
However, at present, there are no manufacturers in China producing CR. Thanks to the more advanced alternative DR, the DR does not need to be converted and can be imaged directly on the computer and printed out. Newheek is a manufacturer of DR. We have a 14’x17′ cable version, a 14’x17′ wireless board, a 17’x17′ cable version and a 17’x17′ wireless board.
If you need to buy a DR flat panel detector, please contact our customer service. | [

In a blog post on LinkedIn, Weiner said that the changes are being made to “streamline our operations and focus on our most important priorities.” The changes will affect roles in the GBO, which is responsible for LinkedIn’s global sales and marketing efforts. Weiner said that the company will be “reorganizing and consolidating some of our teams” in the GBO. He also said that LinkedIn will be “realigning our China strategy” and “reducing our investment in some areas.”
Weiner said that the changes are “not easy” but that they are “necessary” to ensure LinkedIn’s long-term growth. He said that the company is “committed to providing affected employees with severance packages and outplacement services.”
The changes to LinkedIn’s GBO and China strategy come at a time when the company is facing increasing competition from other social media platforms, such as Facebook and Twitter. LinkedIn has also been criticized for its slow growth in recent years.
It remains to be seen how the changes will affect LinkedIn’s business in the long run. However, Weiner said that he is “confident” that the company will “emerge from this stronger than ever.” | [

J&K: Gulmarg Unveils Stunning Snow Replica Of Taj Mahal, Tourists Flock In Hordes
Nature has endowed Kashmir with incredible beauty and is rightly called "Paradise on Earth" and there is no dearth of beautiful sites in Jammu and Kashmir. Now, Kashmir Valley's Gulmarg is adding a new site to the list of tourist attractions in this area -- is a snow sculpture. Kashmir’s winterland, Gulmarg has recently become home to a stunning snow sculpture replicating the Taj Mahal. Within a short span snow sculpture has become a sensation on social media. Take a look:
Snow sculpture of the Taj Mahal has become the latest attraction for tourists in Jammu and Kashmir’s Gulmarg after the igloo cafe.
The replica of the Taj Mahal, one of the seven wonders of the world, has been sculpted by members of the hotel Grand Mumtaz.
Gulmarg is already on the tourists’ top list of destinations for snow-lovers.
By building this new sculpture with zero material cost in 17 days, the locals have managed to not cease to excite tourists from across the world.
The sculpture reaching a height of 16 feet and covering an area of 24 feet x 24 feet, captivated the attention of many with people flocking to click pictures alongside it.
Taj Mahal was built in Agra by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his wife Mumtaz.
Yusuf Baba, head member of the team who made the sculpture said that a 4 member team was involved in the work and no other material besides snow has been used. He also said that it has become an attraction for several tourists already. | [

Description (OCR text may contain errors)
Oct. 30, 1962 N. D. ANDREAS SLIDE PROJECTOR Filed Sept. 3, 1959 NORMAN D. AN DREAS IN VENTOR.
aw/(F PM ATTORWY United States Patent() 3,060,797 SLIDE PROJECTOR Norman D. Andreas, Greece, N.Y., assignor to Bausch & Lomb Incorporated, a corporation of New York Filed Sept. 3, 1959, Ser. No. 837,794 1 Claim. (CI. 88-24) The present invention relates in general to slide projectors and is more particularly concerned with projection lens assemblies therefor.
The principal object of the present invention is to provide an improved housing or mounting tube for a projection lens assembly which will readily admit of longitudinal focusing adjustment of the lens assembly, but will prevent the lens assembly from being accidentally removed from the slide projector. In this connection, it is contemplated that the projection lens mounting tube will be provided with a peripheral collar at its rear end which cooperates with the rear end of a V-shaped trough within which the projection lens assembly is seated in order to limit the relative movement of the projection lens assembly in a forward direction but which will, upon tilting of the projection lens assembly, readily permit removal of the lens assembly from the projector.
The foregoing objects and others, as well as numerous advantages will become apparent from the following detailed description when read in conjunction with the acoompanying drawing wherein:
FIG. 1 is a side elevational view shown partly in section and illustrating the principal features of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken substantially along the line 22 in FIG. 1 and looking in the direction of the arrows;
FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken substantially along the line 33 in FIG. 1 and looking in the direction of the arrows; and
FIG. 4 is a fragmentary side elevational view illustrating the projection lens assembly tilted just prior to removal thereof from the slide projector.
With reference now to the drawings, wherein like reference numerals have been used in the different views to identify identical parts, the present invention comprises a slide projector having a mounting base on which the various elements of the slide projector are mounted. The slide projector includes a projection lamp 11, the details of which form no part of the present invention, and which, therefore, will not be described in any greater detail, a condenser lens assembly 12, a projection lens assembly 13, and a transparent slide mounting means 14.
The projection lamp 11, condenser lens assembly 12, and projection lens assembly 13 are all adapted to be optically aligned and a transparent slide 15 is adapted to be disposed within the slide mounting means 14 in order to form the object, the image of which is adapted to be projected upon a viewing screen (not shown). The transparent slide 15, of course, is also mounted in optical alignment with the condenser lens assembly 12 and projection lens assembly 13.
The projection lens assembly 13 is disposed generally within a projection lens assembly housing 16, which comprises a box-like member, having sides 17 suitably affixed to the mounting plate 10 and a top 18. The projection lens assembly 13 comprises an elongated substantially cylindrical tube 19 with a plurality of lenses 20 mounted therein and is formed with a rear peripheral collar 21, which projects slightly beyond the outer periphery of the tube portion 19, and a forward peripheral collar 22 which is rotatably mounted on the leading end of the tube 19 in order to permit of slight adjustment of one or more of the lenses 20.
The projection lens assembly tube 19 is adapted to be seated within a V-shaped trough 23 which is secured to the base 10 by means of suitable bolts 24. The trough 23 is accurately positioned so as to maintain optical alignment of the projection lens assembly 13 with respect to the condenser lens assembly 12 even though the projection lens assembly 13 is longitudinally adjusted. In order to retain the projection lens assembly 13 in relatively fixed position in the trough 23, a pair of spring pressed nylon beveled rollers are rotatably mounted on a shaft 25, which extends through a pair of U-shaped slots formed in upstanding portions 26, integral with the top 18 of the projection lens assembly housing 16. A flat spring 27 having one end mounted fixedly at 28, has its other end pressing against peripheral ridges 25 formed around shaft 25, in order to maintain the nylon rollers in continuous engagement with the outer periphery of the projection lens assembly tube 19.
In order to permit ready longitudinal adjustment of the projection lens assembly 13, a rubber coated roller 29 is rotatably mounted on a mounting shaft 30 in a position such that the periphery of the roller is adapted to be engaged by the outer surface of the projection lens assembly mounting tube 19 when the latter is disposed in seated position within trough 23. Suitable means 31 may be provided in order for manually rotating the roller 29 and | [

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said an explosion would mean “the end for Europe,” while experts have downplayed the threat of a nuclear catastrophe.
It’s OK, and even logical, to be afraid. But don’t give in to panic.
Europe’s largest power plant is now under Russian control, the agency also confirmed
Putin has threatened the West twice this week with nuclear war. VICE News asked experts how worried we should be.
“I order to move Russia's deterrence forces to a special regime of duty,” President Vladimir Putin announced Sunday.
Ukrainian officials have said there’s fighting occurring at one of the most radioactive locations on the planet.
“If you’re worried about nuclear war, this shouldn’t change how you feel because it doesn’t change the fact that, if they really wanted to, China can vaporize American cities.”
The nuclear-powered submarines are seen as a counterweight to China’s military ambitions.
The Nazis tried to develop nuclear weapons during WWII. This uranium cube at a Washington laboratory may have been part of this secret program.
Solar panels wrapped around tritium tubes generate just enough energy to power a simple 'Tetris' style handheld.
Details about passwords, secret codes, and nuclear missile location were uploaded by U.S. service members to flashcard websites.
For decades the Duga-1 radar array warned the Soviet Union of incoming missiles, now it’s a monument to a nuclear disaster. | [

The Cannon Crew is an entegral part of the Parsons Mounted Calvary. The cannon is actually a Model 1902 3-inch field gun. The 3-inch field gun was the Army's preferred field artillery piece until World War I when the 75 mm was adopted for munitions compatibility with the Allies. It was the late 1970's when the cannon was first found at a bonfire cut site. In September of 1982, "The Spirit of '02" was first fired on the Corps of Cadets Quadrangle. In 1984, the cannon became part of the Aggie football tradition by firing a shot every time the team scored. This six piece set inlcudes the faithful depiction of the cannon, two senior cadets, two underclassmen cadets and the traditional sign that reads, "Warning Cannon Fires When Aggies Score."

When Ali Fazal met Al Pacino at London screening
Ali Fazal recalls meeting Hollywood megastar Ali Pacino at London screening
As Ali Fazal turned a year older on October 15, he marked the occasion with an intimate dinner with Death On The Nile co-stars Gal Gadot and Annette Bening in London. Interestingly, the actor jokes that he received his birthday gift a day earlier — Fazal, who was attending the London Film Festival, met his screen idol Al Pacino at the screening of The Irishman.
View this post on Instagram
I post this today. My best gift of 2019, hell actually my whole life as ive known it because the people who know me know very well what this meant. I told him i pirated his movies just to catch up at one point. Id neva do that now but we all done bad things. We spoke a little about my work and then for some reason i remembered my two mamu’s and my mum being great fans of him as well.. so, i told him they were the ones who got me hooked on to you. My first fairytale i remember as a child is a story about an italian family in newyork. And years later i asked my mom why she did that. Who tells a kid about the godfather and she said - “i thought it was a nice story but i dont think i told it right. Go Watch it “. Anyway.. this was long overdue. And it happened at a private screening for the irishman with Mr De niro, Martin scorsese, harvy kietel, anna paquin and Al ofcourse. The movie? Flawless and if i can say the perfect film. Now u must understand an actor can never say that but it is. Its long tho.
"It has been a lifelong journey to finally arrive at this moment when I got to meet the man himself," enthuses Fazal. The actor says that he grew up on a steady diet of Pacino’s classics, including The Godfather series and Scarface (1983). He further reveals that he harboured the dream of meeting the legend since his college days.
"My friends Vijay and Aalaap, and I used to fill up the walls of our hostel room with posters of the movies that we would like to watch. Over the years, I watched each and every film on that list. And that day, I could not believe that I was meeting those very actors whom I had seen while growing up." During his interaction with the Hollywood superstar, Fazal told Pacino how his mother — an avid fan of the legend — had narrated the story of The Godfather to him as a fairytale.

Libya’s oil blockade is entering its 7th month and the war-torn country’s oil output is hovering at just 100,000 b/d instead of the pre-crisis 1.2 million b/d.
Without a peaceful solution on the horizon, its expected restart is delayed to fourth-quarter 2020, according to a recent Rystad Energy forecast.
In the most optimistic of scenarios, Libya’s 2020 exit production rate will be 700,000-800,000 b/d. But this estimate itself carries downside risk: once oil production comes back online, it would take Libya another 3-4 months to ramp up production to the 1 million b/d mark.
The damage is not just limited to the short term, according to the analyst, the prolonged blockade has negatively impacted both infrastructure and oil wells, so the eventual production ramp up will demand capex spending to rehabilitate wells and pipelines.
For this purpose, Libya’s National Oil Company (NOC) estimates that between $500 million and $1 billion is needed just to reach the pre-blockade levels of 1.2 million b/d.
Not only oil output has languished, but Libya’s production capacity itself has lost 100,000-150,000 b/d due to the ongoing blockade, according to Rystad Energy estimates.
If the deadlock is not resolved in the coming months, it may drop by an additional 200,000-300,000 b/d, putting the country’s desired oil production level of 1.5 million b/d further out of reach.
“Our latest global liquids balances report still suggests there will be a shift towards a surplus from August and for the ensuing three months, but it is less precarious than previously estimated and developments in Libya have a lot to do with this revision,” said Bjornar Tonhaugen, Rystad Energy’s head of oil markets.
Rystad Energy is now also reducing supply expectations for OPEC heavy hitters such as Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Kuwait as it expects slower ramp-up phases given the wobbly demand recovery outlook. Significant upward revisions were applied to Canada, as oil sands projects are exhibiting a resilient production recovery. | [

Metro workers have been much more productive over the past year than in the recent past, General Manager Paul Wiedefeld said, according to an internal report due to be released next week.
DULLES, Va. — Metro workers have been much more productive over the past year than in the recent past, General Manager Paul Wiedefeld said, according to an internal report due to be released next week.
“Our what we call ‘wrench time’, the amount of time that people are out on the system working, has increased. Our productivity has gone up 34 percent,” Wiedefeld said at a Loudoun County Chamber of Commerce event Thursday.
“We’re paying those people to be out there and do work,” Wiedefeld said. “And just through different efficiencies, by tightening that up we’ve increased literally the amount of work they’re delivering.”
The report next week is meant to justify the hours cutbacks Metro implemented last year as well as explain some of the specific work that has been done along with the track testing and inspection programs that are just getting underway.
“Before, we had so much time lost because we didn’t have enough window of a time to put people out there doing work, so now, with those additional hours, we’re physically getting more time out on the tracks which means much more productivity out of the same amount of people,” Wiedefeld said after the event ended.
He has also credited a crackdown on workers taking time off. | [

Asthma is a common chronic inflammatory disease of the airways that afflicts people of all ages. Some of the symptoms include shortness of breath, wheezing, coughing and chest tightness. It is thought to be caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors (such as allergens, air pollution, chemicals…).
Asthma is associated with exposure to indoor allergens, such as dust mites, animal dander and mold. One way of managing asthma is to reduce or eliminate exposure to allergens.
Thorough and regular cleaning of your home (especially your carpets, upholstery and ducts) can eliminate a lot of the hidden allergens. Using a professional service, such as Rivers Edge Carpet and Duct Cleaning, is the best way to get rid of a lot of asthma triggers. Just because a home looks clean, it doesn’t mean that it is.
Carpets and upholstery can collect dust and soil below the surface. Even with regular vacuuming, dirt, dander and allergens can get embedded into the fibers. Rivers Edge’ multi-step carpet cleaning process, using cleaning solutions that are safe for kids and pets, delivered by professional, trained technicians, will create a healthier home environment.
Dust, dirt, dander and allergens also get trapped inside a home’s air ducts. As the air circulates, if the ducts are dirty, all of these asthma triggers travel throughout your home. It is important to have the air ducts and HVAC system cleaned professionally, to reduce exposure to dirty air. Once again, Rivers Edge can come to your rescue with their powerful and effective air duct cleaning system.
Their professional, trained technicians use specialized tools to dislodge the dirt and debris from the ducts, pulling it away from your home.
Although not much can be done about the genetic factors causing asthma, the environmental ones can be controlled to some extent by ensuring the indoor air quality in your home is as clean as possible. | [

For the last decade, businesses in San Francisco have been adamant that the city’s payroll tax is holding back job growth. First, companies must pay the tax when they reach $250,000 in payroll, which discourages new hiring. Second, they must pay it when employees exercise their stock options — a strong incentive for any company considering an IPO to leave the city.
The Stockton Street Enhancement Project, spearheaded by Chinatown Community Development Center (CCDC) and SPUR, brought Chinatown and SPUR stakeholders together to discuss ways to preserve the economic and cultural vitality of Stockton Street while offering opportunity areas for improvement through the next decade.
On March 9, 2012, San Francisco issued its first zoning permit for “neighborhood urban agriculture.” The change of use permit, given to Little City Gardens, allows the small urban farming business to grow produce for sale at its three-quarter-acre market garden in the Mission Terrace neighborhood.
Let’s say you’ve got a great jam recipe. Or perhaps you make some mean pickles. Your friends keep telling you that you should quit your day job and follow your culinary passion. But unless you’ve got quite a bit of savings or other access to capital, following your friends’ advice is a pricey proposition.
This June’s primary election will bear little resemblance to the contentious ballot San Franciscans considered last November. Gone are the competing pension reform measures, sales taxes and bonds. We’re left with two measures, both placed on the ballot by voter petition.
This year at our 32nd annual Good Government Awards, SPUR honored Ed Harrington with a Lifetime Achievement Award for his service to the City and County of San Francisco, including unparalleled fiscal leadership and managerial excellence through five mayoral administrations.
This year at our 32nd annual Good Government Awards, SPUR honored the SFpark Pilot Program team — Jay Primus, George Reynolds, Steven Lee and Lorraine Fuqua — for its implementation of its groundbreaking smart parking management program.
As the rest of the country eagerly watches the Republican presidential primary drama unfold, San Francisco prepares for a comparatively uneventful June election. Five proposed initiatives have dropped off the ballot, leaving the city to consider just two measures this election. Prop. A would change the competitive procurement and franchising for solid waste disposal in the city.
On February 28, Salesforce announced its was suspending plans to build a 2-million-square-foot campus on the 14 acres it had acquired in San Francisco’s Mission Bay. Citing that it has grown faster than expected, the company will instead lease existing space two miles north, near Market Street in San Francisco’s Central Business District.
Two sites owned by the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) in San Francisco moved closer to becoming urban agriculture projects this week.
As the economy struggles to recover in the Bay Area, what are the prospects for city revenues in San Francisco? City budget staffers and experts on the local economy gathered at the 2012 Annual Economic Briefing, hosted by SPUR's Municipal Fiscal Advisory Committee, to discuss regional trends and projections for the city’s major revenue streams. The upshot: Our experts are starting to see some good news on the horizon. Unemployment has finally begun to decline, and San Francisco...
Redevelopment agencies across the state closed their doors on February 1, marking the end of an era for planning in California. How are San Francisco, Oakland and San Jose dismantling their agencies? What’s going to happen to the on-going projects and existing assets held by redevelopment agencies? And will any new planning tools emerge to do some of the work previously done by redevelopment agencies?
Can you make a living selling what you grow in a city?
That’s a question a number of urban farming entrepreneurs have been working to answer in the past few years, and initial numbers are beginning to become public.

VATICAN CITY — Harsh criticisms meted out by Pope Francis on free-market capitalism have sparked backlash from some fiscal conservatives and have led some people to call him “anti-capitalist” or even Marxist.
Ahead of his apostolic visit to the United States in September, some are bracing themselves for more criticisms from the pope, this time directed specifically at the U.S. culture and economy.
Joseph Kaboski, a professor of economics at the University of Notre Dame and president of CREDO, an international organization of Catholic economists, said, “As an individual, the pope probably views redistribution programs as a more effective way of tackling poverty than economic growth,” though “most mainstream economists would disagree.”
In addition, he said, the pope would probably “like more government involvement in the economy than many Americans would be comfortable with.”
However, Kaboski said he views the pope “as neither pro- nor anti-capitalist, but instead a measured critic.”
Kaboski said he is “confident Pope Francis finds much to commend” in U.S. economic life, such as private property, the entrepreneurial spirit, human creativity, technological advances, the way it creates jobs, income and products, and the way charities, government and the private sector pitch in to provide services to those in need.
At the same time, the pope “would also criticize the vast disparities in income and wealth … point to the poor in the inner cities, and argue that they are not fully participating in society,” Kaboski said. In addition, the pope would “point to the fact that the global economic crisis started in the U.S. financial sector and wound up shaking economies of many poor nations,” he said.
Kaboski said he is “very excited” about the pope “emphasizing the needs of the poor, but then if he talks about the roots of the financial crisis, it’s hard for me to fully go along with his confidence because academic economists are still debating the root causes of the Great Depression.”
“There are some statements (he makes) that can leave people scratching their heads,” he conceded.
However, it is important to keep in mind that the pope is “never teaching economics,” added Kaboski, who is also a consultant for the U.S. bishops’ Committee on Domestic Justice and Human Development. Rather, the pope is “catechizing on how our Christian view ought to impact our view of a good economy and society.”
Christians are called to evaluate economic activity through the lens of their relationship with God and others, which must be central to their lives, he added.
In homilies and at various audiences throughout his two-year pontificate, Pope Francis has sought to raise awareness and inspire action that would narrow the imbalances between the world’s rich and poor. He has criticized the current global economy, which is says is based on a “throwaway culture” that encourages consumption and waste, and marginalizes or even discards people seen as economically unproductive.
His main criticisms of “unregulated capitalism” are spelled out in his apostolic exhortation, “The Joy of the Gospel,” which calls people to turn from the idolatry of money and indifference to the needs of the poor. The economy must be based on the primacy of the person, honor human dignity and care for the poor, especially by including them in the economy, he said.
Pope Francis’ encyclical on the environment, “Laudato Si’, on Care for Our Common Home,” took up the same themes and extended his reflection to the devastating impact of the throwaway culture on the environment and on the poor who live closest to nature and rely most heavily on the land for their livelihood.
“This is related to what the pope has been talking about long before the environment: lifestyle,” said Greg Burke, senior communications adviser to the Vatican’s Secretariat of State. “This encyclical is as much about wealth and poverty as it is about the environment.”
The call to action in “Laudato Si'” is “not just taking out your trash,” Burke told Catholic News Service, “but how much trash … you produce because of rampant consumerism.”
Carolyn Woo, president of Catholic Relief Services and a former business professor, told CNS that the encyclical also includes a call to action for the business sector.
“Pope Francis actually invites business to be a part of the solution,” she said. “But it cannot be business as usual.” Rather, businesses need to shift out of “the same short-term thinking or the same obsession with short-term profits and disregard for people,” she said.
Practically, it means businesses would need to adopt the values of “solidarity and sustainability, oriented toward the common good and the true development of all peoples” and engage in more environmental impact assessments of their activities, she said at the Vatican’s | [

SSO-A (Sun Synchronous Orbit – A) — first Rideshare mission of Spaceflight Industries
In 2015, Spaceflight Industries of Seattle WA (simply referred to as 'Spaceflight'), initiated a dramatic new vision: buy a full Falcon 9 and fill it totally with Rideshare spacecraft. There was to be no ‘prime' satellite. There was the potential for ‘co-lead' status for a couple of customers, but otherwise it was an egalitarian mission. This mission was dubbed SSO-A for ‘Sun Synchronous Orbit – A" with "A" standing for the first of a planned series of such launches. 1)
The SSO-A mission takes the concept of a Rideshare – or ‘Multi Manifest Mission' – to a new level. A full Falcon 9 launch vehicle is being dedicated purely to Rideshare spacecraft – there is no ‘Primary' satellite that defines the mission (Figure 1).The approach is analogous to buying a seat on an airplane: everyone is leaving at the same time and going to the same place. No single passenger gets to change the departure time or destination. There are ‘Co-Lead' customer who get limited involvement in determining the launch date, as well as other enhanced services. In the air travel analogy, this would be equivalent to a special first-class ticket that would allow one or two passengers to ask for the departure to be delayed accommodating their schedule. For the SSO-A mission, there is only one commercial customer who has this special Co-Lead status.
In all, there are 51 different customers, representing 14 different countries on the SSO-A mission. There are 16 MicroSats, as well as dozens of CubeSats ranging from 0.25U to 6U.
IPS (Integrated Payload Stack): The SSO-A configuration features an IPS. As shown in Figure 2, the IPS structure consists of multiple structural elements. The two major deployed elements designated the UFF (Upper Free Flyer) and LFF (Lower Free Flyer), as well as various sub-elements as shown in Figure 3.
UFF (Upper Free Flyer): The UFF consists of four primary structural elements:
1) ESPA (EELV Secondary Payload Adapter)
4) Top Section of the MPC (Multi Payload Carrier)
The ESPA is a standard aluminum ESPA ring with six port with 15" bolt pattern attachment points. This unit is built by Moog CSA Engineering of Mountain View, CA and has flown multiple times.
The CubeStack is an aluminum structure developed for the SSO-A configuration. It houses the UFF avionics, as well as providing port for up to five 6U-size CubeSat dispensers. It was built by LoadPath Engineering.
The Hub is similar to an ESPA Grande but is composite versus aluminum construction. It has six 24" diameter ports. It is built by Airbus Defense and Space (formerly CASA) in Madrid, Spain.
LFF (Lower Free Flyer): The LFF is a hexagonal aluminum structure designed to hold up to twelve 12U – or QuadPack – size CubeSat dispensers. It also includes avionics to autonomously separate all of the CubeSats on the LFF.
MPC (Multi Payload Carrier): The MPC is a load-carrying composite structure. There is a separation mechanism between the lower and upper halves of the MPC. This separation join allows the UFF to be released and to then autonomously deploy the spacecraft attached to it. There are also four platform on the MPC on which four microsats are mounted and deployed. The MPC is an adaption of the ASAP-S multiple payload structure previously built and flown on Soyuz launch vehicles by Arianespace.
The overall mission scenario is shown in Figure 4. Once the UFF and LFF are separated by the launch vehicle, their avionics power up, initialize, and begin separating the spacecraft in a predetermined sequence.
The UFF and LFF both have S-band transmitters for downlinking status to the ground. This data will be received by Spaceflight's ground station network and linked back to the Mission Operations Center (MOC) at Spaceflight's main office in Seattle, WA. In addition, the UFF is utilizing a Globalstar relay to provide a GPS positional solution and telemetry data throughout the mission. This data will also be linked from the Globalstar ground station network back to the MOC.
The telemetry includes verification indicators for each spacecraft separation. Switches on the deployers – separation systems and CubeSat dispensers – are monitored by the UFF and LFF avionics transmitted to ground stations to provide verification of spacecraft separation. Figure 6 shows the preliminary ground track prediction for | [

South Carolina is just completing a significant roadwork program where bonds have been leveraged so that 27 years of maintenance and construction activities could be completed in just seven years. During this period, the number of South Carolina interstate work-zone-related crashes and fatalities has been rising, with the state accounting for nearly 10% of the nation’s work-zone fatalities. The number of crashes in work zones in South Carolina nearly tripled in five years, increasing from 677 in 1998 to 2,601 in 2003. In all of these years, a leading cause of vehicle crashes is driving too fast for conditions. Because of the increasing number of work-zone crashes and fatalities in South Carolina, research into innovative ways to improve driver attention and reduce vehicle speeds in work zones has become a priority for the South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT).

Tomorrow, voters will head to the polls in Alabama and Georgia to settle primary races that were forced into runoff elections.
Alabama’s the home to the biggest race on June 21, the Senate GOP primary runoff that’s been set and reset by former President Donald Trump’s shifting loyalties. After pulling his endorsement from Rep. Mo Brooks, Trump is squarely on board the train for Katie Britt, the former top Senate aide running to replace her retiring once-boss, Sen. Richard Shelby. The state is also holding runoffs in primaries in two other races likely to decide the ultimate general election winner — secretary of state and the 5th Congressional District.
In Georgia, Democrats Bee Nguyen and Dee Dawkins-Haigler face off for the right to take on Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger in the fall and deny him re-election. Two runoffs in the 6th and 10th Congressional Districts will likely decide who comes to Congress from their next year — Vernon Jones or Mike Collins, and Jake Evans or Rich McCormick — and a runoff between Jeremy Hunt and Chris West in the 2nd District could set up an interesting general election against Democratic Rep. Sanford Bishop.
Elsewhere on the campaign trail:
Alabama Senate: Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., backed Britt ahead of Tuesday’s runoff, calling her “a strong conservative who will fight to expand 21st century opportunity for every American family and preserve the American Dream.”
Pennsylvania Senate: The National Republican Senatorial Committee launched a new TV ad in Pennsylvania as part of a seven-figure ad buy, tying Democratic Lt. Gov. John Fetterman to Biden and rising gas prices.
Michigan Governor: Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer reserved $3.4 million in broadcast airtime from September through Election Day.
Illinois-07: Democratic Rep. Danny Davis spent $27,000 on cable in his fist ad buy ahead of his June 28 primary against fellow Democrat Kina Collins, who has been endorsed by Justice Democrats.
Ohio-09: Democratic Rep. Marcy Kaptur is up with a new ad focused largely on her economic record, but also includes her criticizing calls to “defund the police.”
New York Lt. Governor: The New York Times reports on how Lt. Gov. Antonio Delgado, the former congressman who gave up his seat for the post, faces a difficult primary challenge. | [

The previously developed geomorphic index of lunar surfaces is applied to the surface distribution of the lunar hot spots. It was found that the hot spot number density is the highest in areas of intermediate geomorphic index, corresponding to mature maria. Young and old maria and the terrae have fewer hot spots per unit area. An hypothesis is presented relating the probability of formation of a hot spot by impact with the evolutionary stage of the regolith of the target surface. The older is the surface, the deeper is the regolith and also the smaller is the average boulder size. For these reasons hot spots will be less probable. The paucity of hot spots in young maria could also be related with the evolution of the regolith, but fundamental changes in the petro-physics of the mare effusions cannot be ruled out. | [

Pet friendly care services
Pets are important to people who need domiciliary care and support. They provide companionship, unconditional love and help focus the mind. Caring for a pet provides purpose, a routine and consistency to many people’s lives.
Individuals may find the prospect of caring for their beloved pet becomes more daunting and stressful when they are ageing or unwell. However, there are proven benefits of living with a pet.
At Bluebird Care, we offer a variety of services to help you or your loved one remain at home with the love and companionship of your furry friend. Our carers are dedicated to providing support and care so individuals can continue with their daily routines in the comfort and safety of their homes. Get in touch today to find out more about how we can help you and your family, and provide care and support at home.
Benefits of Pets for the Elderly
PDSA’s 2021 PAW report found that 87% of owners agree that having a pet makes them mentally healthier. Being around pets and animals has been proven to reduce stress, alleviate loneliness and even help children with emotional and social skills.
Having a pet provides its owner with a sense of purpose. For someone living alone, this can bring structure and routine to their daily lives. Forbes found that when older adults were asked what an important benefit was of owning a pet, 63% of those who lived alone stated that the pet ‘gives a sense of purpose’ and ‘gives me someone to talk to’.
The benefits of pets for the elderly aren’t just emotional – they can have a biological impact too. HABRI (Human Animal Bond Research Institute) states that the bond between owner and pet influences levels of blood pressure, heart rate and hormones.
Even if older adults don’t live with a pet at home, they can experience great benefits just from interacting with an animal. Individuals can experience the same benefits as above by playing with and stroking the pets of family and friends. Cats and dogs that visit the elderly are known to bring joy and relaxation.
Personal Pet and Home Care
The onset of old age or illness doesn’t have to be a reason to give up your current lifestyle. Many pet owners worry about what happens to their pets when they get older. Pet and home care can go hand-in-hand so your loved one and their pet can stay at home together and continue making memories.
If your loved one has a pet, as part of our domiciliary care service we will try and match them to a care assistant who also enjoys and understands animals. Your loved one and their carer will be able to share the pleasure of the special pet together.
*Not all Bluebird Care offices provide this service. Please check with your local office if this service is available.

Same is true for columns. An array with m rows and n columns is called an m x n array and it has a total of m n entries. An element of the array is recognized by its location-its row number and column number. These row and column identifiers are called indices of t he maLrix. Thus A( i, j) refers to a specific element of matrix A located in the ith row and jth column. These locations are unique. In MATLAB, you can also use a list of numbers for the row and column indices to access more than one element of the matrix at a time.
Here of A. x is the transpose of the tirst row 1 2 3 >> X I *X Matrix o r vector products are well define d be tw een c ompatibl e pairs.

Qatar and Online Censorship
Qatar is a country with freedom of speech enshrined into its Constitution. Qatar is undoubtedly providing its citizens with a more open internet experience than other Middle Eastern countries in the region, however, Qatar still has online restrictions for its citizens. For example, the country blocks adult websites, along with censoring some political dissidents. The country also censors any content online that is critical of Islam. Because Qatar’s censorship denies citizens the ability to view certain websites on the web, many have turned to VPNs in order to be able to access content that would otherwise be blocked.
How a VPN Can Help Qatar Internet Users
Virtual private networks, or VPNs, are a great way for citizens of Qatar to access websites that are blocked within their specific geolocation. VPNs make the internet more accessible to those living in countries where the government makes the decision to block specific websites, however, VPNs are also useful for when a school, office, or other network blocks specific websites. For example, a school might block social media that might otherwise be available in the rest of the country. VPNs are relatively simple to setup, and work by hiding your IP address, encrypting your communications, and offering a secure connection to the internet. The ease of setting up a VPN means that you can use one on your desktop, laptop, or your mobile phone. No matter where you use the internet, a VPN can keep your device protected, your online activity hidden, and allow you access to websites that have been blocked in your specific geolocation. This is invaluable to citizens of Qatar, who cannot access all the websites the internet has to offer without using a VPN. VPNs have made the internet more accessible to those living in countries like Qatar.
Making The Internet Experience More Private and Secure
If you want to ensure that your online experience is completely private, then you need to maintain secure, encrypted connections to the internet. Unfortunately, most internet users aren’t using secure connections, which leaves them vulnerable to hackers, identity thieves, and other prying eyes. Hackers are everywhere, and anytime you use a public Wi-Fi network with an unsecure connection, you are putting your device, your personal and financial data, and anything else that you view online at risk. That is why VPNs have become so popular. VPNs aren’t only proficient at helping users access blocked websites. They are also great tools to keep your device secure and your online experience private and anonymous. All of the information that passes through a VPN is encrypted, meaning that even if some of the data that you viewed online was accessed, a hacker couldn’t read it due to the encryption. Whether you want to keep your online activities private from hackers, government entities, internet service providers, corporations, or all of the above, VPNs are the perfect tool for keeping your web surfing habits hidden.

Christ... loved the church and gave
Himself for her, that He might sanctify
and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word.
Walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma.
Having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the word of God which lives and abides forever. § Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth. § Unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. § Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit. § Your word has given me life.
The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul; the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple; the statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes.
Eph. 5:25–26; 5:2; 1 Peter 1:23;
John 17:17; 3:5; Titus 3:5; Ps. 119:50; 19:7–8
Through Him we both have access
by one Spirit to the Father.
I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one. Whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it … And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever—the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. § There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. § When you pray, say: Our Father in heaven.
Brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way …, let us draw near.
Eph. 2:18; John 17:23; 14:13–14, 16–17;

King Henry V of England is insulted by the King of France. As a result, he leads his army into battle against France. Along the way, the young king must struggle with the sinking morale of his troops and his own inner doubts. The war culminates at the bloody Battle of Agincourt.
Young King Henry of England invades France in order to claim his right to a kingdom and to the daughter of the King of France in this second film adaptation of the Shakespeare play. Henry's small but embattled army meet the French forces on the field of Agincourt.
The unique think about this film is that there aren't any weak performance amongst any of the actors, however small their role.
One actor I feels merits a mention is Christopher Ravenscroft for his portrayal of the French Herald, Mountjoy. He plays a key part in this ply as the only character who meets both English and French leaders until after the battle.
His shock and awe in the tennis balls scene when her realises that Henry isn't a silly young man is terrific.
Great film. I've got on video and watch two or three times a year. My teenage sons were gripped by it. This is the way to introduce teenagers to Shakespeare.
I admit that bringing Shakespeare to the big screen is tough. There are subtleties and nuances - and limitations - about stage productions that cinema simply can't capture.
That being said, this is by far the best adaptation of Shakespeare to the big screen of the past fifteen years. The director does an admirable job of making every scene seem plausible - with slight suspension of disbelief - on stage.
Kenneth Branagh, while he strikes me as a bit full of himself, is fantastic as the young, vain, ambitious title character, while Paul Scofield, Henry's French counterpart, delivers an equally impressive performance as the king who understands the gravity of Henry's invasion of France.
Aside from Shakespeare's obvious bias toward British interests - which have little to do with the big-screen production - this is an amazing film.
Straightforward, energetic, updated Bard. 28-year-old star-director-adapter Kenneth Branagh's spellbinding version of Shakespeare's Henry isn't superior to Olivier's 1944 version - it's different, and complementary to it.
On your imaginary forces work.

20" x 24" multimedia painting composed of acrylic paint and mirror pieces
Cruel Universe was one of the first abstract paintings I used metallic and iridescent paints on. The border of the piece is lined with shards of broken mirror so the piece not only reflects random images as you walk by or stand in front of it, but it changes with the light levels in the room. With high light, the silver and gold pop out; in low light, they fade into the background. I wanted to create a piece that looked mystical, severe, and was as mutable as the day. | [

We visited PLAYMOBIL FunPark one Saturday morning in celebration of our youngest child’s third birthday. The name aptly says it all — a whole lot of different kinds of fun in a family-oriented play park! With over a dozen themed indoor and outdoor attractions, this leisure park did not disappoint.
My children’s favorite outdoor features were the Medieval Knight’s Castle, Pirate Ship and Power Paddle Lake. They had a lot of fun exploring the watchtower, dungeon and underground passage of the castle, balancing through the wooden planks to get to the pirate ship, and riding on the paddle boats in the man-made lake. The climbing and winter play areas provided a nice setting for indoor fun and a much needed break for parents to sit down on benches while the kids burn more energy in a large, enclosed space.
The HOB Center, PLAYMOBIL’s main hub for dining and entertainment, was equally impressive. A cafe and snack bar sit behind a large slew of dining booths where families can hang out. There is an adjoining pub and beer garden to purchase delicious meals and drinks. An impressive stage envelopes a corner of the center, where special shows are held on a regular basis. The highlight of the HOB center is PLAYMOBIL City, which is home to the life-sized versions of the beloved PLAYMOBIL Playtime Worlds.
How to Get There
Located in the town of Zirndorf near Nuremberg, PLAYMOBIL FunPark is 2 1/2 hours away from Stuttgart, a little over 3 hours from Kaiserslautern and just over 2 1/2 from Wiesbaden.

Armitage was a bit sceptical of choosing musical theater as his career path and thus resolved to continue his studies in acting.

The critically acclaimed and commercially successful play, directed by Yaël Farber, won Armitage the ‘Broadway World: UK Award’ for the ‘Best Leading Actor in a New Production of a Play’ that year. It also fetched him an ‘Olivier Award’ nomination in the ‘Best Actor’ category.
The popularity of ‘The Crucible’ led ‘Digital Theatre’ to record it. It was then distributed to cinemas across the UK and Ireland. On March 17, 2015, ‘Digital Theatre’ made it available for digital download worldwide.
Armitage played ‘Kenneth’ in the ‘Laura Pels Theater’ production of the play ‘Love, Love, Love’ in 2016. It marked his first leading theatrical role on the American stage.

Benjamin Gachet House facts for kids
Quick facts for kids
Benjamin Gachet House
|Nearest city||Barnesville, Georgia|
|Area||65 acres (26 ha)|
|Architectural style||plantation plan|
|NRHP reference No.||97000301|
|Added to NRHP||April 17, 1997|
The Benjamin Gachet House ( historically spelled Gachette) is a historic residence on GA 18, 3 miles west of Barnesville, Georgia. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 17, 1997. The home is located at the crossing of Five Points Road and Piedmont Road, now known as the Milner Cross Roads, originally used as trails by Native American tribes.
The General LaFayette connection
Benjamin Gachet was a French nobleman who fled from a revolution in San Domingo and settled in what is now Lamar County. A historical marker dedicated by the Lamar-LaFayette Chapter of N.S.D.A.R. is at the site, stating that General Marquis de LaFayette stayed with Gachet at the home on March 19, 1825, during an official visit to Georgia.
Additionally, Benjamin Gachet lived in Jones county adjacent to Baldwin county, where Milledgeville was being visited by General LaFayette in 1825. Historians surmise that the general visited Gachet around that time and location.
So a family connection existed between the Gachets and the LaFayettes.
The home was placed on the register, in part, due to it being an almost pristine example of plantation plan architecture. The chimneys and much of the clapboards are original. The kitchen, on the back of the house, off of the porch, was rebuilt. The two front bedrooms originally had separate entrances for each. The rooms have been referred to as "traveler's rooms", "preacher rooms" and "stranger's rooms". The Gachet house was known as a stagecoach stop in its history. Benjamin Gachet died at age 36 leaving several minor children and Mrs. Gachet likely earned a living to support her children by operating this stagecoach stop.
Caroline M. Gachet
Mrs. Gachet eventually sold the property to her son-in-law, Benjamin M. Milner, and moved to Alabama.
The gravesite of Caroline M. Gachet (November 12, 1792 USA - December 24, 1876) is believed to be at the Enon Cemetery in Bullock County, Alabama.

Broadnax in Brunswick County, Virginia — The American South (Mid-Atlantic)
Bridges of Brunswick County
Almost forty years later, to permit the operation of heavier steam locomotives, the Southern Railway installed new timber structural reinforcement called falsework. However, the timber falsework created a problem. Whenever the river rose there was the danger of the new falsework washing out and breaking the line. ln response, bridge gangs were sent by the railroad to keep it free of drift. In 1939 the problem was resolved when the Meherrin River Bridge was renewed with a new heavier truss and concrete piers as seen in the 1948 photo.
The new prefabricated bridge span for the Tobacco Heritage Trail is supported by the 1939-installed piers.

Washington (Aug. 3)
A spokesman for the War Department said today that authorization to send representatives to Germany to act as liaison officers between the U.S. military authorities and stateless and other Jews still held in camps, will be given to all principal Jewish organizations, and is not limited to any one group.
“However, it is up to UNRRA to decide which groups are going, who is to be represented, and how many representatives they are to have,” he added. The War Department, he explained, decides only whether the individuals selected to go are satisfactory to the military authorities. The rest is up to UNRRA.
UNNRA headquarters here told the JTA today that details have not yet been worked out, but that it is now considering applications from several organizations.
The present relations between Jewish labor and industry in Palestine threaten: the continued prosperity of the country and is hampering industrial development, the Jewish Industrialists Association charged today in a cable to the World Zionist Conference in London.
The cable urged that the conference empower the Jewish Agency to introduce compulsory arbitration of industrial disputes. Labor groupshave been opposed to such a proposal.
Meanwhile, spokesmen for demobilized Jewish soldiers expressed the hope today that the London parley would demand that the Palestine Government make available for settlement by veterans all waste and government land in the country. | [

The Bibiyana gas field in Habiganj now contributes to more than half of the country’s total daily gas production.
Even, the production volume exceeds its capacity when the demand surges.
In the aftermath, the gas reserve in the field has already depleted by 95 per cent, while the remaining stock is anticipated to run out within a year if the current production trend persists.
Experts, against such a backdrop, have warned that there might be a massive disaster in the gas supply if the gas field runs out of stock soon.
Amidst the ongoing gas crisis, the country has witnessed a falling trend in production in the three largest gas fields – Titas in Brahmanbaria, Kailastila in Sylhet, and Rashidpur in Habiganj.
The experts blamed the energy and mineral resources division’s negligence and inefficiency for the production slump.
The authorities have geared up gas production in the Bibiyana field, though it has a lower reserve. In contrast, they do not have the required technical skills and technology to scale up production at the site with abundant stock of natural gas.
There are a total of 28 active gas fields in the country. The Bangladesh Gas Field Company Limited (BGFCL) extracts gas from the largest Titas gas field, while Sylhet Gas Field Limited (SGFL) extracts gas in Kailastila and Rashidpur fields. They all are state-run entities.
Chevron Bangladesh, the local chapter of US-based multinational company Chevron Corporation, produces the largest amount of gas from Bibiyana, even though the field ranks fourth in terms of gas reserves.
According to Petrobangla and the energy and mineral resource division’s hydrocarbon unit, the Bibiyana gas field has a production capacity of 1,200 million cubic feet per day.
Currently, the daily production at the site exceeds 1,100 million cubic feet from 26 wells. The authorities installed larger diameter pipes in the wells to boost production in 2021.
The gas field had a gas storage of 254 BCF (billion cubic feet) until March this year. Around 120 BCF has been extracted in the last four months, with an average extraction rate of 30 BCF per month. The remaining stock is projected to be slightly over 130 BCF.
The gas field is expected to run out of stock within four months if the current trend of gas extraction continues. Experts believe that the production rate will gradually go down at the site, while the reserve is likely to be completely exhausted by 2025.
Sheikh Zahidur Rahman, spokesperson of Chevron Bangladesh, said they are using global expertise in reserve management to meet the current gas demands. They are also working to explore the production possibilities.
Hope for more gas reserve
The authorities had initially estimated the Bibiyana gas field’s reserve at 8,383 BCF during discovery, while the recoverable reserve was at 5,755 BCF. Around 5,501 BCF of gas has already been extracted from the field by March this year.
Officials of Petrobangla said the gas reserve was estimated a long time ago. Chevron Bangladesh has extended its contract to operate the Bibiyana gas field until 2034 and is planning to enhance the reserve through new well drilling to meet the mounting demand.
The company could not provide any specific figure for gas reserves.
However, Petrobangla chairman Zanendra Nath Sarker ruled out the claim of imminent gas reserve exhaustion at Bibiyana, saying that it is inaccurate information and is being rectified. They are now collecting information again about the reserves. Besides, different measures are being taken to maintain the production levels.
Interest in LNG Imports
The 9 August marks the national energy security day. It is being observed with the theme of “Smart Bangladesher Prottay Jalani Sasray,” though there are no noticeable measures to curb gas consumption.
Bangladesh has witnessed a decline in gas production since 2018, which prompted the authorities to go for liquefied natural gas (LNG) imports to bridge the deficit.
Noted geologist Badrul Imam voiced concerns over the gas exhaustion as the government reports asserted the gas stock depletion.
Gas production will go down on a large scale in the future. There will be no other choice if drilling of new wells does not ensure more gas reserves. Thus, overreliance on a single gas field may cause suffering, he said.
The geologist further added that the authorities could have boosted production from the top three largest gas fields, but they are now focused on importing LNG. | [

Create your own olive grove
Olive trees, with their attractive greyish foliage, can be successfully grown in backyards as well as in a large pot in a sunny courtyard.
They're hardy, dry-tolerant plants that grow well in cool to temperate climates. Salads, pizza, tapenade, pasta and breads are just a few delicious ways to enjoy olives, which are usually harvested in autumn.
Different varieties are suited to different uses, such as Manzanillo for pickling, Kalamata for eating fresh and cooking and Frantolo for oil, and also for different climates, so pick a variety suitable for your area (and your favourite recipe).
Also check your chosen olive to see if it will produce a better crop if cross- pollinated with another olive, with trees taking four to five years to bear fruit.
When planting a new olive tree, mix some Dynamic Lifter into the planting hole and keep the soil moist while the olive establishes. Reapply every spring and autumn to encourage healthy growth and lots of olives.
Soil tip: olives prefer a slightly alkaline soil (pH 7 - 8). In areas with acidic soil, apply some liquid lime and dolomite around the root zone to increase the pH. | [

A 'Beyond' Extraordinary Piece of Filmmaking
The Place Beyond The Pines is without a doubt, one of the best most flawless movies I've seen in quite some time. It is a triumphant exercise in how actions and consequences affect the lives of those around us.
The Place Beyond The Pines is about a travelling motorcycle stunt rider named Luke (Ryan Gosling) who reunites with an old flame of his named Romina (Eva Mendes) and realizes she is mothering his child. Once he finds out, he decides to quit the stunt riding gig and provide for his family. In order to do so, he takes up bank-robbing and becomes followed by a rookie cop-turned-politician named Avery (Bradley Cooper).
What I Liked About It:
Where do I begin here? I loved everything: the acting, the direction, the story, the beautiful scenery, etc. I loved how the film is essentially three different stories: The first one deals with Luke, the second one deals with Avery after his pursuit of Luke, and the final one shifts over 15 years later with both Avery and Luke's sons wrestling with the legacies they've inherited.
Ryan Gosling delivers a solid performance as Luke, and Bradley Cooper delivers the best performance in the entire film as Avery. In this film, Cooper really showcases his dramatic acting chops and proves why he is one of the best actors working today, and not just a handsome face. Eva Mendes gives her best performance to date as Romina, Luke's longlost love interest torn between her child's father and her loyalty to her husband. But a few actors that also really stood out were Ben Mendelsohn, who plays Luke's friend Robin who is a former bank robber with a heart of gold, and Dane DeHaan, who plays an older version of Luke's son Jason, who longs for the truth about his father, but struggles to grasp it when he finds out.
Another thing I really liked about this marvelous film was the direction. This is the first film I've seen from Derek Cianfrance, who also did Blue Valentine, which I haven't seen yet, but when I watched this film, I fell in love with how he directed it. Plus, the scenery, which was in upstate New York, which isn't far from where I live, was gorgeous.
What I Didn't Like About It:
Overall, The Place Beyond The Pines is a stunningly flawless epic dealing with themes of redemption, consequences, love, anger, father-son relationships, and most importantly, legacy. I would recommend it to anybody I know as I feel it is noy only a fantastic film, but a rather important film. | [

List of Resources Update 2014Posted: January 14, 2014
I will be adding to my list of resources for 2014:
Morrill, Mandy. (2014): “Sibling Sexual Abuse: An Exploratory Study of Long-term Consequences for Self-esteem and Counseling Considerations.” Journal of Family Violence 1-9. http://rd.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10896-013-9571-4#page-1
Great advances have been made regarding the study of child sexual assault since the 1970’s. In spite of these advances, the gravity of sibling sexual abuse has largely been overlooked in sexual abuse literature. This paper uses peer reviewed research to highlight some of the major issues and unique long-term consequences associated with sibling sexual abuse. Specifically, an altered version of the Conflict Tactics Scale Straus (Journal of Marriage and the Family 41:75-88, 1979) and The Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale Rosenberg (1965) were used to explore the long-term impact on self-esteem for those having experience with sibling sexual abuse as a child. In addition, clinical considerations for working with survivors, offenders, and families are provided.
The following is from the preview provided by Springer (check out the article on Springer for a fully referenced article with full content):
The feminist movement in the 1970s served as a major catalyst in moving the issue of domestic abuse into the conscious of mainstream America. Since that time, there has been tremendous advance in the study of abuse in the family. Today, professionals recognize childhood sexual abuse within the family as a significant and widespread problem with consequences lasting long into adulthood. Despite this progression, the research related to interfamilial incest conducted by social science researchers over the past three decades has focused primarily on father to daughter incest; largely ignoring the experience of sibling sexual assault.
Sibling sexual assault is more common than parental incest. Caffaro and Conn-Caffaro concluded that sibling incest and assault occur more frequently than parent-child incest and assault, even though sibling incest is one of the most under reported forms of abuse. Bess and Janssen found 60% of psychiatric outpatients had experienced some form of sibling incest. A study by Rudd & Herzberger indicated that 23% of incest survivors are sibling incest survivors. Clearly, sibling incest is a pandemic problem that requires more attention from mental health professionals.
Understanding why sibling sexual abuse occurs is complex. One of the main factors contributing to this phenomenon is the family environment. Maladaptive parental behavior and dysfunctional family structures have an impact on the sibling relationship. When the family structure supports power imbalances, rigid gender roles, differential treatment of siblings, and lack of parental supervision, the risk for sibling sexual abuse increases. Rowntree conducted a qualitative study of 19 adult female survivors of sibling sexual abuse in which it was found that the minimization of the abuse when disclosed had an impact on the severity and perception of the abuse. In a study conducted by Wiehe, the normalization of abuse by parents was found to be a critical element in the severity and frequency of abuse among siblings. When parents either model inappropriate sexual interaction or are unable to acknowledge inappropriate sexual interactions in their children, it is likely that one child will begin or continue to inflict sexual abuse on a sibling because he or she is modeling the actions of his or her parents.
Sibling Sexual Abuse
In spite of lack of empirical research on the topic, it is likely that sexual abuse among siblings occurs more frequently than any other form of sexual abuse. Defining the specifics of sibling sexual abuse has lacked consistency and clarity in previous research, which has been a hindrance in terms of moving forward with needed empirical analysis. As such, this study offers a clear and detailed definition of sibling sexual abuse. Sibling sexual abuse is defined as sexual behavior between siblings that is not age appropriate, not transitory and not motived by developmentally appropriate curiosity. Some examples of this behavior include inappropriate fondling, touching, sexual contact, groping, indecent exposure, masturbation, exposure to pornography, oral sex, anal, sex, digital penetration, and intercourse.
While there has been debate as to whether or not non-physical aspects of sibling sexual abuse, such as forced exposure to pornography or sexual leering, are as harmful as physical sexual assault, this study supports the notion that all acts of sibling sexual abuse hold the potential to be equally harmful. Ybarra and Mitchell found that exposure to pornography as a child, which is not self-seeking or developmentally appropriate, results in a high correlation with substance abuse, depression, attachment issues, and delinquent behavior. Seto conducted a meta-analysis of 59 studies in which the results suggest forced exposure to pornography (particularly in which sexually violent acts occur) can lead to significantly higher rates of anxiety, low self-esteem, and social isolation. Additionally, it has been shown that unwanted sexual | [

In September 2003, Friends of the Hervey/Point Loma Branch Library sponsored a concert in the brand new community room weeks after it opened. After the concert, Judy Eby, a member of the Friends of the Library, Glen Fisher, Larry Zieger and Christine Gonzalez, library branch manager, talked about the lack of opportunity to participate in choral music programs in the Point Loma community. Judy Eby proposed starting a chorus that would meet in the community room, and the library enthusiastically supported the idea.
On December 3, 2003, an organizational meeting was held, attended by Judy Eby, Terry Russell, Glen Fisher, Christine Gonzalez, Larry Zieger, and Dean Hanna. At the 4th organizational meeting, the committee agreed on the name: Peninsula Singers.
The non-profit organization has partnered with the Hervey Family/Point Loma Library, the Point Loma High School Choir, Southwestern Community College and other school and community choral groups in the San Diego area to create a model program. There are approximately 60 active singing members, with no audition requirement.
Peninsula Singers accompanist Stewart Simon is an accomplished solo pianist and teacher beyond his commitments with the chorus. Artistic Director Sarah Suhonen frequently conducts, and the group Presidents have included singer Vanessa Dinning.
As of 2018, the choir was performing a free concert at the Point Loma Hervey Branch Library every season. Members span all generations and abilities, from hobbyists to professional singers. The choir has sung at Carnegie Hall and, for its tenth anniversary, completed a European Concert Tour, as well as touring Ireland in June 2018. | [

Hydra close-up: New Horizons probe captures Pluto’s tiny moon
Ahead of a rendezvous with Pluto in July 2015, NASA’s New Horizons space probe has imaged the dwarf planet’s tiny moon, Hydra. Pluto’s neighborhood is poorly explored and scientists want to make sure there is no space debris in the probe’s way.
The spacecraft made a historic portrait of Pluto and its moons using a telescopic camera called LORRI (Long Range Reconnaissance Imager) from a distance of 430 million kilometers. The images were taken back in July, but released on the mission’s official page on September 12.
The scientists did not expect to see Hydra because of its tiny size, but the probe’s 48 10-second exposure pictures, when combined into one high-contrast view of Pluto’s neighborhood, made it possible to identify the moon on the overexposed image.
The fact that the LORRI camera managed to capture such a small space object from such a huge distance gave the New Horizons team confidence that, if there the probe meets an obstacle, they’ll notice it beforehand.
“Using those techniques, Hydra popped right out of the data, though it’s still very faint — several times fainter than the faintest objects the New Horizons camera was designed to detect — and still very close to Pluto,” John Spencer, of the Southwest Research Institute and member of the New Horizons Science Team, told the Discovery science news outlet.
“We’re thrilled to see it, because it shows that our satellite-search techniques work, and that our camera is operating superbly. But it’s also exciting just to see a third member of the Pluto system come into view, as proof that we’re almost there!” he added.
The NASA specialists spotted Hydra, one of Pluto’s five moons, back in 2005, processing the photos taken by the Hubble Space Telescope.
Launched in January 2006, the New Horizons spacecraft now traveling to Pluto and the Kuiper Belt is among NASA’s most famous and challenging exploration missions. The spacecraft will become the first manmade object to have a close encounter with Pluto on July 14, 2015.
While approaching Pluto, the New Horizons probe will conduct two series of long-exposure mosaic photos, in May and June 2015.
In late August this year, the piano-sized spacecraft full of sophisticated equipment crossed Neptune’s orbit some 4.25 billion kilometers from Earth. It has taken eight years and eight months, a record distance in space exploration.
A series of photos taken in July this year of Pluto and its biggest moon Charon orbiting its icy master planet at a very close orbit rose speculations in scientific circles that both might share the same atmosphere, being a so-called ‘binary planet’ system. | [

Whether forced by economic conditions or internal motivations, contractors may choose to minimize their mark-up margins in order to maximize their chances of winning a bid. In such cases, they are often more focused to submit bids with the lowest price possible with less regard to the proper profit or contingency margins needed to execute the project. Such drastic bidding conditions render contractors sensitive towards all types of risks associated with executing a project. This is why it is important for contractors to fully understand intricate risk dynamics for effective and efficient risk management. This paper explores risk identification and classification through the risk path approach as a substitute for the traditional risk source-risk factor approach mostly used in Egypt till this day. An ontology model is developed to illustrate the identified risk path, the interdependent relations amongst its elements, and its effect on projects’ costs overruns. The risk path identified in this paper consists mainly of risk elements and vulnerability factors, where risk elements are project uncertainties categorized according to their places within the risk path while vulnerability factors are project vulnerabilities that determines the extent or capacity to resist or cope with risk elements. Risk elements consist of risk sources, risk events, and risk consequences, while vulnerability factors consist of robustness factors, resistance factors and sensitivity factors. An artificial neural network (ANN) is then constructed based on the information logged in the ontology model, where training and testing cases are retrieved from surveying both the literature and experts in the Egyptian construction field. Simulations are conducted using the ANN algorithm to establish the sensitivity of cost overruns to each of the identified risk elements and vulnerability factors. Following this enhanced understanding of risk elements, their relation, and their effect on cost overruns, the paper identifies and develops contract conditions that effectively address the identified risk elements with the greatest impact on projects’ costs. Such information allows contractors to minimize such costs, thus enabling them to minimize their contingency estimates and, consequently, reduce their bid prices. | [

From our What a Coincidence! desk
Several weeks ago the hardworking staff over at Campaign Outsider posted an item headlined Sign o’ the Time: Everything for Sale at Newsweekly, which included this ad from the December 29 Boston Sunday Globe:
Imagine our surprise, then, when we saw this in yesterday’s Boston Sunday Globe:
Seven things you should know about Ray Ciccolo
Over the last half century, Village Automotive Group has grown into one of the state’s largest automobile dealers, with more than 400 employees at eight locations. President Ray Ciccolo recently chatted with Globe reporter Erin Ailworth about how it all started. Here’s what she found out:
Ciccolo was only 24, but he already owned two coin-operated launderettes when he walked into the Gene Brown Rambler/Volvo dealership in Newton Centre looking to buy a “little, fuel efficient” Volkswagen to replace an old Buickhe had rebuilt from junkyard parts. Instead, he listened to a friend working at the dealership. Ciccolo left with a gas-guzzling Lincoln Continental — it got just three miles to the gallon — and plans to purchase the business...
Not to get technical about it, but there are really eight things you should know about Ray Ciccolo.
We’re not saying there was any explicit pay-for-play arrangement here, but it’s hard to believe that a business editor wouldn’t know if an interview subject had run full-page ads in the paper, especially such self-aggrandizing ones. That might give the average editor pause, yes?
Well, in this case, no.
Coals to Newcastle, there’s also this on Page One of today’s Globe Score section.
When Globe owner John Henry gave a speech to the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce the other week, he talked about new sponsored sections like Score that would deliver added valued to advertisers. That led the hardreading staff to wonder what exactly Globe sponsors would get.
We’re wondering even more now. | [

OLYMPIA, Wash.--Five Washington school districts are being honored by the College Board for their students' Advanced Placement (AP) test participation.
The districts are Olympia, Seattle, Bellevue, Northshore and Shoreline. Those districts are on the 2011 AP Achievement List for giving more students an opportunity to do college-level work while still in high school. Less than 400 school districts in the nation received this honor.
College Board selected the Seattle School District for offering AP courses to a broader pool of students, while still maintaining or improving the percentage of students earning scores of 3, the score typically needed to earn college credit, or higher. In three years, the district also increased the number of students participating in AP classes by nearly 250 students.
We are immensely proud of our Seattle Public Schools students who are taking AP exams and doing college-level work, said Dr. Susan Enfield, Interim SPS Superintendent. It is clear that a growing number of our students see the value in pursuing challenging educational opportunities while in high school, and we are fortunate to have outstanding teachers and principals to guide them along the way.
The AP Achievement List is made up of all school districts that are simultaneously expanding opportunity and improving performance, so even low-performing districts are included if they have been able to maintain or improve scores while expanding access. The list includes 388 school districts representing 43 states.
Participation in college-level AP courses can level the playing field for underserved students, give them the confidence needed to succeed in college, and raise standards and performance in key subjects like science and math, said College Board President Gaston Caperton. The AP Achievement List districts are defying expectations by expanding access while enabling their students to maintain or improve their AP Exam scores.
The complete AP Achievement List can be found at www.collegeboard.org.

one cosmetic thing that annoys me with my MegaSTE is the extremely dim power LED. At first I assumed this was simply due to old age. But then I measured the current: only about 2 - 3 mA, which is much less than one can expect according to the schematic: http://gossuin.be/images/schemasatari/MEGA%20STE.pdf
. According to that, only R290 (120 ohm) is in series between +5V and the power LED, so there should be around 20 mA, which is a typical current for LEDs.
I measured with the continuity tester and found that in fact R421 (1 kohm) is in series with the power LED, while R290 is connected to the jumper W401 where R421 is supposed to be used. Like so (click on the picture to see a much less blurry version):
I always assumed that a previous owner had rewired that resistors for whatever reason. However, today I planned to fix this and had a look at the bottom side of the PCB: that mixup is already in the PCB layout! No traces have been cut and rewired. The resistors were populated according to the BOM, but the layout doesn't match the schematic.
Now I wonder: is this an error in the PCB revision of my MegaSTE only? Is it always the case? Wouldn't that mean that a lot power MegaSTE power LEDs are incredibly dim?
I'm now thinking about either swapping the resistors or replacing the LED with a low-current type that already shines brightly at 2 mA.

In the construction industry, the pattern of brick, tile, ash and stone as the main building materials has been changed, and color steel plate structure buildings have emerged. But there are also its shortcomings, such as color steel plate. The main problem is that there is leakage at the rivets and plate joints of the roof, which affects the normal use. Through research, test and construction, relevant experts have summarized some effective maintenance methods for water seepage of large-scale color steel sheet roofs. Jinan color steel plate manufacturer explains:
1、 Repair method for water leakage at rivets: apply sunshine one-component waterproof adhesive for 4 times, with a thickness of about 1.5mm and a diameter of about 50-60mm. The next painting shall be subject to the non stick hand of the previous coating, and the diameter of each painting shall be larger than that of the previous painting, with a thickness of the middle and a thickness of the circumference. In this way, the rivet will not leak.
2、 Rain leakage method of color steel plate joints:
1. 60mm wide sunshine 2000Pa single component waterproof adhesive can be applied at both ends of the joint, and 20mm adjacent to the joint is not applied.
2. Non woven fabric, 150mm wide, pasted on the surface coated with sunshine 2000Pa waterproof adhesive.
3. Brush the non-woven fabric or glass fiber cloth for 3 times. When painting, the latter one is 50mm wider and 1.8mm thicker than the previous one. The next brushing shall be subject to the non stick hand of the previous coating.
The comprehensive benefits of steel structure buildings are significant. Steel structure buildings are easy to realize factory and large-scale production. Compared with traditional brick concrete structures and reinforced concrete structures, they have shorter construction cycle, less on-site labor, higher labor productivity and easier quality assurance.
Another outstanding advantage of steel structure building is its light weight, good ductility and excellent seismic performance. For a country with many earthquake disasters, it can obviously reduce the losses caused by earthquakes. The color steel room has good thermal insulation performance, which is conducive to building energy conservation. At the same time, the steel can be recycled, which is in line with the policy of "vigorously developing circular economy and building a conservation oriented society". China's steel supply is sufficient, and domestic steel can meet the needs of steel structure construction in terms of quality, price, variety and specification.
The ratio of strength to gravity of the steel structure is 3, and the ratio of strength to gravity is 14. Therefore, the steel structure is a light structure with small structural area, good ductility and good seismic performance. The advantages of steel structure building such as fast construction speed, high space utilization rate, flexible indoor layout and small construction site are also very prominent, which are favored by developers.
Pay attention to some details. Generally speaking, color steel plates will not have many problems, so color steel plates are good building materials in building materials. You can come to our website anytime you need Consult and understand! | [

The total scattering rate and the transition probability for electron-phonon interaction in 1-D and 2-D semiconductor materials are calculated in taking into account the finite dimensions of the structure. Although noticeable, size effects on the scattering rate are generally small, with more pronounced features for 1-D structures than for 2-D structures. For 2-D layers, our theory agrees with recent experimental results whereas it contradicts the previous theory predicting large size effects and mass-independent electron-phonon scattering rates. In 1-D structures singularities in the phonon emission rate appear as a natural consequence of the 1-D density of states. However, for high energy the 1-D emission rate is found smaller than the corresponding 3-D rate. An additional consequence of the confinement is the quenching of the phonon absorption rate.

Helios is an open world Action RPG, with a action based combat system. Therefore the player is forced to aim in order to hit a monster rather then bashing buttons. But fighting is not the only thing that you can do, growing your own vegetables is an ease. Those vegetables can then be cooked into a tasty stew and consumed for more health. Also you have the ability to gather you're own ore's and craft these into the most amaizing weapons there are. Monsters won't drop any weapons, armor or gold. Instead they will drop more plausible items like fur, bones, teeth, etc. These can then be used for crafting your items. | [

Middle and low pressure valves
The standard line of VAPTECH Butterfly valves cover a diameter range from 300 to 1400 mm and pressure ratings pf 6, 10, 16 and 25 bar. The standard valve actuation is realized with a hydraulic cylinder and is closed by counter weight.
Outside of VAPTECHs’ standard product, butterfly valves are developed with specific pressure ratings of up to 40 bar and diameter up to 5000 mm. Depending on the relation between the inlet diameter, pressure and water speed, the rotor is designed as a disk or as a lattice.
The valve function can be alternatively realized with a double acting hydraulic cylinder, an electrical actuator or manualy with a hand-wheel. Additionally the valve can be equipped with upstream and downstream pipes, bypass systems, hydraulic pressure units, aerating - deaerating devices, penstock rupture devices, and digital control systems. | [

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14 (UPI) -- President George W. Bush called for a national goal Wednesday of returning U.S. astronauts to the moon in preparation for establishing a permanent human presence elsewhere in the solar system.
"Human beings are headed into the cosmos," Bush said at a speech at NASA headquarters in Washington, which proposed flights to the moon by 2014 and extended missions by 2015.
The president's announcement, which was reported in detail by United Press International on Jan. 8, also called for retiring the space shuttle fleet as soon as the U.S. commitment to the build International Space Station is fulfilled and building a new generation of spacecraft capable of transporting astronauts to the moon and beyond.
Speaking before a crowd of current and former astronauts, leaders from the Senate and House of Representatives and a large number of NASA employees, Bush noted the presence of Eugene Cernan, an Apollo 17 astronaut and "the last man to set foot on the lunar surface."
"He said this as he left: 'We leave as we came and, God willing, as we shall return, with peace, and hope for all mankind,' the president said, adding, "America will make those words come true."
Although Bush made the moon the immediate focus of his plan, he also cast his sights much farther. Under the new space plan, human flights to Mars would follow the moon landings, although Bush did not indicate a timetable for them. Moreover, the immediate priority for the space program would be returning the space shuttles to safe flight as soon as possible. He said the main task for the shuttle fleet would be to complete the U.S. portion of the International Space Station, which would be completed by 2010.
"We will finish what we have started," Bush said of the station project. At that point, the shuttle fleet would be retired. "Then it would be time for America to take the next step," he said.
That step -- new human missions to the moon, would be preceded by robotic exploration of the lunar surface beginning in 2008. Bush called the robots "trailblazers" for the astronauts who would follow them.
In order to take humans to the space station and then to the moon and beyond, NASA would develop its first new manned spacecraft in three decades. The new craft, called the crew exploration vehicle or CEV, would replace the shuttle and serve multi-mission capabilities.
Bush said the first orbital test flights of the CEV would begin as early as 2008.
The president's speech outlined the new plan in broad terms, leaving many unknowns before humans can venture forth on long-duration missions in space. As reported previously by UPI, NASA would shift the research aboard the space station from its current wide range of topics to an effort focused on sustaining humans in space.
The aspect of the plan that seems to have generated the most anticipation is its cost. Some critics and commentaries already have blasted the idea for its anticipated high cost at a time of large federal budget deficits. But Bush said NASA's annual budget would need to rise only about $1 billion, spread over the next five years, to pay for the initial missions. NASA may have to request additional funding from Congress as the plan progresses, but for now the president placed funding limits on the initiative.
One potential money-saving aspect is participation of other space programs in the effort. "I call on other nations to join us on this journey, in the spirit of cooperation and friendship," he said.
Harking back to the last great exploration effort, the Apollo program of the late 1960s and early 1970s, Bush said: "The vision I outline today is a journey, not a race."
Bush named retired Air Force secretary Pete Aldridge to chair a committee of government and private-sector experts to review NASA's plans to implement this new policy. Their report will be due on the President's desk four months after the committee first meets.
In closing his speech, Bush recalled the words of a member of one of the families of the shuttle Columbia's crew. "The legacy of Columbia must carry on for the benefit of our children and yours," Bush said, adding, "Columbia's crew did not turn away from the challenge, and neither will we."
The president's speech was preceded by opening remarks by NASA astronaut Mike Foale, who spoke via live satellite link from the International Space Station.

(MENAFN- Jordan News Agency) Amman, Nov. 28 (Petra) -- Prime Minister, Hani Mulki, on Tuesday, met with presidents of Professional Associations on challenges facing Jordan on many levels, especially financial and economic challenges and the government's plans and programs to address them.
The prime minister underlined the importance of the trade unions' role in meeting its members' needs, in addition to their social role, pointing out to the government's readiness to provide support in terms of the necessary legislations related to the work of unions, which represent a large segment of citizens.
He said the government's priority, at this stage, is to focus on reforming the economy and public finances and dealing with the unemployment, maintain monetary stability and increase self-reliance as a strategic goal.
The premier made a proposal to establish a joint fund for all associations, which would contribute to enhancing their investment capabilities.
Jordan Engineers Association (JEA) President, and the President of the Council of Professional Associations, Majid Tabba, said the associations can support the government's efforts in addressing challenges and assuming their national responsibility.
Tabba added that the associations are partners with the government, expressing hope that both sides would communicate more in order to establish a partnership in the reform process.
He emphasized the importance of fighting tax evasion, and exert more efforts to market Jordanian competencies and reconsider the technical allowances of union employees in the public sector.
Presidents of associations stressed the importance of setting up programs that would reduce unemployment among members of professional associations and boosting operational, mechanization and replacing programs as well as providing them with the necessary training.

We may not be riding around on hoverboards or powering to work with jet packs. But with the likes of self-driving cars and space tourism already making in-roads, who’s to say sci-fi style transport won’t soon become part of our daily lives?
When it does, it could spell opportunity for the business centre and coworking industry.
Consider the massive impact that the daily commute has on a prospect’s decision to move into your workspace. When it comes to choosing a serviced office and particularly a coworking space, priorities such as distance from home, proximity to public transport and local parking are usually up there with cost and number of workstations.
Many workers are heavily reliant on public transport, but let’s face it – the infrastructure is ancient, overworked and more often than not, in desperate need of a facelift. London’s underground is over 150 years old. The Tokyo Subway, the world’s busiest metro system, dates back to 1927. Russia’s Moscow Metro was opened in 1935. The New York Subway launched in 1904.
These systems were built to last, and they’ve certainly done that. But given our massive reliance on public transport and huge advances in technology, isn’t it time for some radical alternatives?
Elon Musk thinks so. And if anyone has the vision (and the finances) to shake up the public transport industry, he does.
We’re talking about the Hyperloop, a futuristic public transportation system that could whisk passengers from San Francisco to Los Angeles – more than 380 miles – in just 30 minutes. It would knock half an hour off the standard one-hour flying time, and it promises to be cheaper too.
How? The Hyperloop would use electromagnetic pulses to shoot pod-like carriages along a tubular overland system at speeds of up to 800mph. The system would be solar-powered, and some pods would be big enough to carry cars.
Some have likened it to a Futurama-style existence, and in our current age of Victorian underground trains and overburdened metro systems, it’s difficult to imagine business centre clients Hyperloop-ing into work anytime soon.
The Latest News

But guess what? It’s gaining interest from investors and private companies alike. Billed as a visionary extraordinaire, Musk has already delivered his fair share of era-defining creations, including PayPal, SpaceX and Tesla Motors. Other private companies are also actively pushing ahead with plans for their own beta systems based on similar Hyperloop technologies.
Yes, it could happen. And if or when it does, the business centre industry could be looking at a goldmine.
“The Hyperloop is privately funded and it’s way ahead of other older technology solutions,” says Frank Cottle, Chairman of ABCN. “My guess is that Hyperloop technology will be the first to arrive on the scene, and with their scheduling process, will generate a lot of business traffic and opportunity for business centers located nearby.”
As Frank points out, this is the first conceptual transportation system that approaches high-speed public transit (privately funded and operated) in the US, and the outcome of location proximity will be a huge driver. “Think of how important being near a tube station is in London… or near a Metro station in Washington D.C.,” he added.
The Hyperloop has been dubbed the fifth mode of transportation (after planes, trains, cars, and boats), and this article is one of many that demonstrates just how close we are to seeing this visionary system becoming reality.
Today, there are more cars on the road than ever before, and with it comes constant road congestion and daily rush-hour commuting misery. It’s unsustainable, and despite the hype and investment around self-driving cars, the future of transportation must focus on better public access, streamlined services and cleaner, more reliable technology.
We need a public transport solution that’s fit for 21st century businesses – and this could be it. What’s your take? Is the Hyperloop a multi-billion dollar investment worth its weight in gold? Or just a load of expensive ‘hype’?Share this article | [

The Verizon Building in Worcester houses offices and a telephone switching station. Verizon wanted to rehabilitate the deteriorating facade of its 1929, seven-story Art Deco-style building. The project architect recommended replacing the deteriorated limestone facade with precast concrete that would maintain the appearance of the building and SGH designed the supports for the new panels.
While the original limestone blocks measured 8 in. thick, the new precast concrete panels were only 4 in. thick to accommodate a new thermal and water barrier system. We designed custom connections to secure the precast concrete panels. For this project, SGH completed the following:
- Developed a solution to attach the precast concrete panels to the building through the thermal/waterproofing barrier
- Determine the configuration of each of the existing limestone blocks and located connections for new panels by using the general contractor’s field dimensions and precast fabricator’s shop drawings
- Detailed both lateral and vertical connections for every panel, which also attached adjacent panels to each other
- Specified new steel columns located within sections of the mass masonry throughout the facade
- Devised over 7,500 custom steel components welded to the columns with connectors slotted into the panels
- Detailed the connectors to be adjustable to allow on-site adjustment during construction | [

Human and mouse Cripto-1 (CR-1/Cr-1) proteins play an important role in mammary gland development and tumorigenesis. In this study, we examined the relationship between Cripto-1 and caveolin-1 (Cav-1), a membrane protein that acts as a tumor suppressor in the mammary gland. Cripto-1 was found to interact with Cav-1 in COS7 cells and mammary epithelial cells. Using EpH4 mouse mammary epithelial cells expressing Cr-1 (EpH4 Cr-1) or Cr-1 and Cav-1 (EpH4 Cr-1/Cav-1), we demonstrate that Cav-1 expression markedly reduced the ability of Cr-1 to enhance migration, invasion, and formation of branching structures in EpH4 Cr-1/Cav-1 cells as compared to EpH4 Cr-1 cells. Furthermore, coexpression of Cav-1 together with Cr-1 in EpH4 Cr-1/Cav-1 cells inhibited Cr-1-mediated activation of c-src and mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathways. Conversely, primary mammary epithelial cells isolated from Cav-1 null -/-/mouse mammary tumor virus-CR-1 transgenic animals showed enhanced motility and activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase and c-src as compared to Cav-1+/+/CR-1 mammary cells. Finally, mammary tumors derived from mouse mammary tumor virus-CR-1 mice showed a dramatic reduction of Cav-1 expression as compared to mammary tissue from normal FVB/N mice, suggesting that in vivo Cav-1 is down-regulated during the process of CR-1-mediated mammary tumorigenesis. | [

The Anti-Roll Stabilization of Ships.
NAVAL POSTGRADUATE SCHOOL MONTEREY CALIF
Pagination or Media Count:
The theory of roll stabilization of ships is presented in the context of modern control theory. The most common systems used to reduce the roll are described, and the principal equations are formulated. A general approach for the analysis of roll stabilizers is developed and applied to an activated fin stabilizer system. For this approach parameter plane techniques were applied, and the system was simulated in a digital computer. A system is proposed which is intended to improve the performance of passive tank stabilizers.

U.S. Small Cap equity funds are back in the spotlight and this time in a positive light given the impressive trailing one month performance.
Interest in the largest ETF in the segment in terms of assets under management, IWM (iShares Russell 2000, Expense Ratio 0.24%) has been reinvigorated by solid recent performance, as IWM briefly traded as low as a $107 handle in mid-May before its resurrection to current levels which is above $118.
This move is especially noteworthy heading into the annual Russell 2000 Reconstitution, which finalizes this Friday, June 27th at the close of the trading day.
Despite the recent net inflows into IWM amid the rally, the fund has still net lost assets year to date, seeing greater than $2 billion flow out of the fund via redemptions.
The second largest fund in the space, IJR (iShares Core S&P Small Cap, Expense Ratio 0.17%) has also had strong performance recently but it has fared no better in terms of asset retention (>-$800
mln year to date).
Interestingly, the number three and number four “U.S. Small Cap Equity” funds in the space, VB (Vanguard Small Cap, Expense Ratio 0.09%) and SCHA (Schwab U.S. Small Cap, Expense Ratio 0.08%) have both impressively outpaced both IWM and IJR YTD in terms of performance, and evidence suggests that it has won some new assets for the funds in terms of net inflow activity (VB +>$900
mln YTD, SCHA +>$100 mln YTD). | [

Surface Photovoltage Characterization of Organic Photovoltaic Devices
Surface photovoltage response in bulk heterojunction organic solar cells is determined using a Kelvin probe with variable illumination intensity and wavelength. The effect of device architecture, carrier transport layers, donor:acceptor combinations, and device processing conditions are studied. We observe a positive (negative) surface photovoltage response, corresponding to efficient accumulation of electrons (holes) at the top electrode in conventional (inverted) devices. The linear relationship between surface photovoltage and log(intensity) and the agreement with open circuit voltage indicate that surface photovoltage magnitude quantifies the separation of photogenerated carriers in organic solar cells at open circuit condition. | [

Katie Holmes to direct her first film
Katie Holmes is working a new gig -- film director.
The Dawson's Creek star and former Mrs. Tom Cruise will make her directorial debut and star in the mother-daughter tale All We Had.
Holmes had optioned the first novel by artist Annie Weatherwax in July. The book is described as "a gritty portrait of mother and daughter, living on the edge of poverty, who find an unlikely home amid the quirky residents of small town America."
Holmes said in a statement Thursday that she was "honored" and "excited" to take on the project, adding that she looks "so forward to bringing Annie's incredible characters to the screen."
Jane Rosenthal will produce the project and Josh Boone (The Fault in Our Stars) will write the script. | [

Denise Jackson is an author by profession who has authored books such as It’s All About Him, The Road Home, and others. Besides her professional life, Denise is grabbing wide media attention as the wife of popular singer and songwriter Alan Jackson.
Denise Jackson was born in April 1960 in Newnan, Georgia, to the late parent’s Dan and Nell Jackson. As far as her education, she completed her BS degree at West Georgia College. Likewise, she grew up along with her twin brother Danny, a sister Jane and Ron.
Denise Jackson was born on January 7, 1960(age 61 years) in Newnan Georgia, United States. She was born to parents Dan and Nell Jackson along with a twin brother named Danny. Her parents are no longer as per reports. Likewise, she has two more siblings named jane and brother Ron who is 21 years older than her.
She was born and raised in a very religious Christian family as the church is a part of it. She belongs to an American Nationality and her sexual orientation is straight. Further her zodiac sign is Capricorn and belongs to Causation ethnicity. She has a very supportive family but due to their parent’s busy careers, they did not get time to discuss their dreams with their parents.
Similarly, Denise completed her high schooling at Atkinson Elementary school in Newnan. Though there is not much information about her education she was a very ambitious student. She got her graduation from West Georgia College in business administration She was good at sports and has gained the title of homecoming queen, Captain of cheerleading, and star of the tennis team.
Enjoying More Than Four Decades Of Marriage
One of the most beloved and inspirational married couples is Alan and Denise Jackson. They continue to share a great deal of love, caring, and support even after four decades of marriage.
Denise, a writer, and Alan, a country music performer, initially met when they were teenagers. They originally met in Newnan, Georgia, where they both grew up. At that time, they both attended Newnan High School, where their romance began to take off.
Denise and Alan wed on December 15, 1979, after having been together for a number of years. Alan was 21 and Denise was 19 when the party took place.
Additionally, because Denise’s maiden name was Jackson, she chose not to alter it after being married. The early 1960s couple hasn’t looked back since that time. They have a strong bond and are the ideal married couple. They are happily commemorating their 42nd wedding anniversary as of 2021.
The marriage between Elaine and Dave Chappelle is also fulfilling.
Once So Close to Divorce
In 1998, after 18 years of marriage, the couple came dangerously close to divorcing. The singer’s extramarital affair shattered their marriage. Despite the criticism, the couple is currently very content together.
The two didn’t get along all that well because of personal issues. Denise was restless even though Alan was preoccupied with his presentations. Later, Jackson claims, “People:
“We were just kids when we started out,” “We didn’t ever have the chance to fall in love as adults and to learn who you are before making a commitment. I think we lost some of that original feeling. I did anyway.”
They got back together in 1999 following their separation. In order to recover from the traumatic event that injured their families, Alan and Denise focused on counseling and building a solid Christian basis for their relationship.
In addition, when Denise Jackson was given the news that she had cancer in 2010, it helped them get closer. Alan remained by her side the entire time. Fortunately, Denise was cancer-free because of their love for one another and for God.
Blessed With Three Children
The Jacksons are the delighted parents of three sweet girls. On June 19, 1990, they gave birth to Mattie Denise Jackson Selecman, their first child.
Likewise, on August 23, 1993, they had their second child, Alexandra Jane Jackson, also known as Ali. On August 28, 1997, Denise and Alan also welcomed their youngest child, Dani Grace Jackson.
Denise is a super-achiever girl. She started her career as an Elementary school teacher at Atkison Elementary School for 2nd and 3rd-grade students. After her marriage with | [

I guess you’ve probably heard that things are looking hopeful here in Paso Robles. Hope is starting to bloom along with our roses and bottlebrush bushes.
Last week our City Council awarded a contract for more than a million dollars worth of street repairs. That sounds bigger than it actually is. It really involves the full lengths of only two streets along with portions of two others.
But it’s a step, or dump-truck trip, in the right direction. Since the Great Recession in 2008, Paso Robles’ streets have pretty much been left to crumble, except for a few Band-Aids here and there and a project or two that were paid for with government grants.
But this street repair work will be paid for with the sales tax increase that we Paso Robles voters approved in 2012. We agreed to a temporary half-cent increase in the city’s share of sales tax. City officials predict that $4 million will be available from it this year. So we can hope for more street repair.
And you probably read in Wednesday’s Tribune that the March unemployment rate in San Luis Obispo County was the lowest for that month since 2008. The March rate of unemployment countywide was 6.1 percent.
That was just a slight drop from the 6.2 percent rate in the previous two months, but still it was a hopeful improvement from the highest countywide March unemployment rate of 10.4 percent in 2010. But it’s still well above what it was in 2008 when it stood at 5.1 percent.
And I’m sorry to say unemployment was even higher here in Paso Robles. One thousand of our 13,400 eligible workers were still out of jobs in March. That’s a 7.3 percent unemployment rate. But the countywide employment improvement may give our unemployed people hope that they’ll soon find jobs.
I suppose some people think that hoping for things is foolish and useless, but I believe hope is human nature. Hope is what keeps many of us going when life is unkind, painful, debt-ridden, frightening, boring, overcrowded or lonely, as life often is. Hope keeps us from quitting.
Of course, it’s possible to overdo hope. The Powerball and MEGA Millions lotteries come to mind. They bring on epidemics of hope running amok, accompanied by extravagant daydreams.
But there are other widespread undertakings that give us justifiable hope. Examples are education, Social Security, Medicare and the Affordable Care Act. And in religion, of course, hope is a virtue.
But the hope I like best is described in the poem by Emily Dickinson that begins, “Hope is the thing with feathers/ That perches in the soul/ And sings the tune without the words/ And never stops at all.” | [

Scarlett Johansson has reached out to OK! to clear the air regarding tabloid reports that she has had plastic surgery on her nose:
“US Weekly’s cover story regarding Scarlett Johansson and its clear implication that she has had plastic or cosmetic surgery on her nose is an outrageous and defamatory fabrication lacking any conceivable basis or proof, despite vehement denials by Ms. Johansson prior to publication,” reads a statement from her rep, exclusively to OK!. “Not surprisingly, US magazine cannot provide the dates when she supposedly had this surgery, who performed the surgery, or what was supposedly done — all because there simply is no truth to the story. The publication made a pathetic attempt to validate its story by using two cover photos of Scarlett that were taken years apart with obviously different make-up and lighting, and then relying on an “expert’s opinion” (based solely on looking at the two photos) on what “might” have been done. It wasn’t.”
And Scarlett herself has this to say to OK!:
“I have always been straightforward with the press regarding my body image and I am very concerned that my fans (and perhaps even my employers) will feel mislead. Thus, I feel compelled to take immediate legal action against US Weekly.”
Marilyn Monroe’s one-time best friend Jeanne Carmen wants Scarlett Johansson or Kate Bosworth to play her in a new biopic because mum-to-be Christina Aguilera is too focused on motherhood for the project.
Pop star Aguilera was set to make her big screen debut in the story of the busty blonde pin-up and golfer, but Carmen can’t wait for her to have a child and get back into shape.
So she has revealed she wants either Johansson or Bosworth to take the role in the film based on her son Brandon James’ biography The Wild, Wild Life Of Jeanne Carmen.
Carmen says, “Christina was interested in playing the part and is a born pin-up girl at heart. She became pregnant, however, and the script is now in the hands of Scarlett Johansson’s agent and Kate Bosworth’s agent.
“Either one of these girls have the talent to pull it off.”
More about Jeanne Carmen herself after the cut!
A new poster for The Other Boleyn Girl has surfaced online! It seems Scarlett in a more prominent role than the first one. Thanks to NataliePortman.com for the find and everyone who alerted me about this.

First of all, I wish to take a moment to thank our new donors: Jennifer from Germany, Maria from Switzerland and Reija from Finland. I really appreciate it! We are already getting a lot closer to getting something very special for the site so thank you to all of the contributors!
I also want to thank Sandra, Maria and forum members rope and DoubleT for contributing some great pictures. We now have a HQ version of the first Vicky Cristina Barcelona still, four fabulous outtakes from the 2006 Elle photoshoot, scans from the September 2007 issue of Spanish Glamour magazine and, last but certainly not least, caps of the new The Other Boleyn Girl trailer. Have fun browsing!
Check out the new international trailer for The Other Boleyn Girl!
When rumours begin to circulate that King Henry VIII (Bana) is no longer intimate with his wife who has been unable to give him a male heir, Sir Thomas Boleyn concocts a plan to bring his family back to prominence: his daughter Anne (Portman) shall seduce the King and provide him with a son. However, the scheme goes off course when the King takes to the other Boleyn girl, Anne’s younger sister and best friend Mary (Johansson). Although married already, Mary gives in to family pressure and reluctantly provides the King with a boy, but along the way, she finds herself falling in love with the surprisingly tender monarch. Of course, this love affair is no obstacle for Anne whose hunger for the throne now overpowers her sisterly love, and she enacts a plan that eventually tears her family and her country apart while leading to her legendary demise.
Scarlett Johansson comments on Penelope Cruz in the Spanish actress’ cover story for Vogue magazine:
Johansson revealed that Allen wrote a part for the Spanish beauty after he saw her in her Oscar-nominated role in Volver.
However, he was so infatuated by her that he was reduced to a stuttering mess in her presence.

Agent Orange report 'too vague,' critics say
Report doesn't make direct link between exposure to 2,4,5-T and cancer, or other illnesses
A retired Ontario Hydro worker in Sudbury says a new report looking at the impact of the chemical 2,4,5-T is too little, too late.
The report was released yesterday by an independent panel established by the province in 2011.
The chemical is used in the herbicide know as Agent Orange — and hundreds of provincial employees were exposed to unsafe levels of the chemical between the 1950s and 1970s.
The report still did not prove that a worker's illness was caused by the chemical exposure, however.
Those employees worked for the Ministries of Natural Resources and Transportation and Ontario Hydro.
One retired Hydro employee, 78-year-old Daniel Crawford, says he has seen several of his friends and former work colleagues die of prostate cancer.
Crawford has the disease himself, and blames the four decades he spent working in the forestry division of Ontario Hydro, when his job involved spraying 2,4,5-T to clear brush.
He thought this report would never came out, he said. And now that it has, it's too late.
"It's not going to change my life because I've already been through it and some of the affects were not good for me."
‘Acceptable’ margin of safety 'exceeded'
The report didn’t go far enough, said Carol Brown Parker, a spokesperson with the Agent Orange Association of Canada.
"They should have had more answers … a lot more answers than what he was giving," she said.
"It's too vague. I don't think there's any responsibility taken — yet. All that was said was that he was sorry it happened, but that's it."
Panel chair Dr. Leonard Ritter defended the decision not to make a direct link between exposure to the chemical and cancer or other illnesses.
"The risk assessment only indicates that an acceptable margin of safety has been exceeded based on the methodology we used for certain occupationally-exposed groups, and that their health could have been affected, but not necessarily so," he said.
"The panel concluded that the risk of disease due to bystander exposure to 2,4,5-T would be very low."
The provincial workers weren't the largest group exposed to the highly toxic herbicide, but the panel's mandate was limited in scope, added Ritter.
"Most use of the herbicide in Ontario was not by the government of Ontario but rather by private and municipal users," he said.
"The assessment of these non-government uses was beyond the panels' scope and not included in the evaluations."
Close to 400 WSIB cases
Brown Parker said she'd like to see former employees tested and have the government help with medical bills.
Natural Resources Minister David Orazetti said people who think they may have gotten ill because of their exposure to the herbicide should contact the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board to file a claim.
But he warned they will need medical evidence to prove their illness came from exposure to 2,4,5-T.
Critics point out the WSIB has nearly 400 open cases from workers who claim the herbicide is to blame for their cancer, and say the report merely gives the agency and the government more time to drag their feet.
Crawford said the WSIB told him they were waiting for this report.
"So it would sound like they would be able to move forward at this point, but who knows."
At the very least, Crawford said he hopes the report will teach future generations to think twice about the chemicals they're using in the workplace.

When I press the fluid button the doors lock and when I turn on the headlights the doors lock this started today the wipers are on the off position and they act like they are on delay and when I turn my headlights on the doors lock and when I press the fluid button the doors lock never had a problem before
Look on the floor under the dash for the Body Computer. Remove the connector, (on the left side as I recall), and check for the presence of corrosion between any of the pins. Clean it out if there is any.

How about the over head message center it does not turn on the reading lights work but thats it I checked all the fuses
June, 1, 2012 AT 5:55 AM
Can't help you with that right off the top of my head. I wanted that in my '93 Dynasty when I ordered it but it wasn't available. The best I can suggest is to take it down and check for 12 volts on at least one wire when the ignition switch is turned on. If the display goes on and off intermittently, I repair a lot of car radios for that and I might be able to find the same cause on that module. Beyond that I would have to find a service manual to figure out what to have you test. | [

Pirate Mfg has been making parts for years and the guys know a thing or two about making quality products.
Take for example the Chevy Camaro 6.2L V-8 Billet Engine Dress-Up Kit, Smooth Chrome. It’s absolutely stunning! You can easily dress up your vehicle with any of the parts Pirate makes to help you get that edge you’re looking for.
Lucky for us, we found this great short documentary on how Ford came up with the new 2015 Ford Mustang.
Will Pirate Mfg come out with Billet parts for the 2015 Ford Mustang? Well, I can neither confirm or deny that. That’s something Big Boss Josh will have to decide. For now, enjoy the video.
You’ve seen various types of shift knobs used in cars before right? In fact we sell some of those that look like skulls and pistons. But this item is relatively new to us and we thought it deserved some attention. This is the U.S.M.C Fighting Knife Shift Knob.
I know what you’re thinking, “AWESOME!” Yes indeed it is! Only $42.95.
Chrome U.S.M.C. fighting knife shift knob for passenger vehicles, suvs and pick-ups. ka-bar shift knob ultra high quality chrome finish, cnc-machined grip universal hex screw mount design. Includes mounting hardware. Perfect for passenger vehicles and pick-ups

I don’t blame you. Remember that article I posted about how the H2s were voted to have the best resale value by the Canadian International Autoshow. Anyhow, now that you’ve set your mind into getting your own, how do you buy one? Do you check it out much like a regular car? Well, there are some differences in how you do it. But before you do go. You may want to read up on this great article by Ebay: “How to buy a Hummer H2″
Well, if you are reading this guide then it is pretty clear that you are not the average individual who thinks that a vehicle is simply to take you from Point A to Point B. The Hummer H2 is definitely not for the staid person who goes through life without shaking things up. The Hummer H2 will get a second (maybe even third look) on the street. The Hummer look for the uninitiated is the impressed yet disappointed “Bummer, it’s not me” expression that washes over those who see “lucky you” in your Hummer H2. It could also be the “is that Hummer H2 going to take up both of those parking spaces” look that is more annoyance than admiration. Either way, trust me, you’ll get a second look.
Okay, if you’ve read the first paragraph and decide that you are still a Hummer person then you are in luck. I am going to walk you through how to buy a Hummer H2 as well as throw in some interesting Hummer facts and history so that you’ll be able to spit out some pithy tidbits to all the people who are going to engage you in conversation when they learn that you own an Hummer H2. This guide is not intended to convince you to buy a Hummer but rather help you decide on and buy the right Hummer H2 model for you. So, I am not going to waste space telling you how many miles per gallon (11 to 12 mpg – couldn’t help it) your Hummer H2 gets | [

Puppy Training – How Early Separation Can Lead to Puppy Learning Disorders
Training a puppy can be a difficult, yet rewarding task. If done properly, you will be rewarded with a loyal friend for life. If done improperly, it can lead to frustration on both the part of the dog and the owner. One of the leading causes of learning disabilities in puppies is not due to defective genes or breeds, but to early separation from the dog’s mother. Because dogs have a much shorter life span than humans, they mature and learn at a much faster rate. A puppy learns more in the first 6 months of its life than it does in the remaining years. To break it down even further, many of the dog obedience training basics are not taught by the owner or trainer, but by the puppy’s mother.
In a natural environment, a puppy learns about social structures such as pack leader, dominance, etc from its mother at a very young age. The puppy learns that there are appropriate places to go to the bathroom, appropriate ways to act around the pack leader, and more importantly, patience. If a puppy is separated from its mother too soon, many of these vital skills are not taught and can make the foundation for training much more difficult to establish. Furthermore, a puppy with separation anxiety, generally brought on by early separation from its mother, will exhibit more aggressive behavior, destructive behavior such as chewing or scratching, or nuisance barking or howling.
So how do you know when it is too soon to separate a puppy from its mother? The general rule of thumb is that a puppy should not be separated before eight weeks, but it could be longer if certain signs are prevalent. These signs include, but are not limited to, abnormal dependence on the mother or failure to conform to social norms within the pack. If these signs are evident, the puppy still needs more time with the mother before being made available for adoption. Once a puppy begins to exhibit independent behavior, it is a good indicator that he is ready for adoption and will have better success during the training process.
Even once the puppy is separated from its mother, it still needs just as much love and attention as it got when it was inside the family unit. Its mother used to respond to its every whine and whimper, and in order to keep the puppy’s self esteem high, it will require you to do the same until it feels comfortable with you. Once you have created this bond however, the dog will see you as the one in charge and will respond better to your voice commands, function better in your home, and be less likely to develop separation anxiety when you leave the home. | [

President Dr. Mohamed Waheed Hassan Manik has decided and notified Parliament Speaker Abdulla Shahid that ministers, high ranking government officials and security forces personnel shall not, starting from today, attend summons by the Parliament Committee on Oversight of the Government.
The notification by President Waheed follows the publication of some of the information shared by former senior police and military officers with the Parliament committee, which is investigating the report published by the Commission of National Inquiry (CoNI). The commission was constituted to investigate the legitimacy and manner in which the government changed earlier last year.
The letter sent by the President to the Speaker of Parliament says that the decision was made because the Speaker is unable to ascertain that the Parliament is functioning according to the constitution and Parliament procedures, and also because the Parliament Speaker is unable to ascertain that the information shared with the Parliament by parties attending Parliament summons is dealt with in a manner consistent with the constitution and Parliament regulations. The President said that the decision will stand until the government is assured that these issues are rectified.
The President also noted that since the CoNI report was shared with the Parliament Speaker, in principle the Parliament does have the authority to do such an investigation, but it should be done within the boundaries of the constitution and the rules and regulations of the Parliament.
The President said that the Parliament floor had not decided on how to proceed with the report and thus, the responsibility of the committees to which the report was forwarded should be to exercise their prerogatives granted to them in the Parliament regulations, and that they do not have the authority exceed these boundaries.
He also had said that the work by the Parliament Committee on Oversight of the Government is undertaken beyond the boundaries stipulated in law, and that the Parliament Counsellor General had advised that the committee work is being conducted outside the boundaries of the law. The President further noted that the Attorney General had also advised the Speaker and expressed concern regarding the issue, and asked him to assure the State that this will not continue in this manner.
The President also noted that the Speaker had failed to take any meaningful action to solve the issue regarding the work of the committee, and said that he is saddened to note that the Speaker had not replied to the concerns expressed by the Attorney General.
The President said that the information shared by former and current senior officials at a committee meeting held in secret was made public on the Parliament website, and that such actions will cause distress to the existing constitutional framework and is also an infringement of the individual rights of the people who shared the information with the committee. He also said that this is severe enough to cause a threat to national security.
He said that divulging information in such a manner is against the constitutional concepts and that it also goes against the regulations of the Parliament. He also expressed grave concern and noted that while the Parliament Counsel General had explicitly said that it is against Parliament regulations, the Speaker had not taken any action to rectify the issue. | [

Germany's recycling and reuse rate for small electronic appliances is too low. Too many used cell phones, smartphones and tablets are stuck in drawers or disposed of illegally with the household waste. But these devices should be refurbished and reused or properly recycled to help us conserve valuable resources. We have been offering different ways for people to hand in their devices since 2003. Customers have been able to return their used, high-end cell phones and smartphones to Telekom Shops under a buyback program since 2013. They receive store credit from the Telekom Shop reflecting their old device's current value, which they can use to purchase a new device, or they can choose to have the amount booked to their customer account. Business customers can send in their used cell phones and smartphones through a buyback portal (www.handyankaufsportal.de) for business customers, which we created in 2016. After the device's value has been determined, the amount can be paid out or donated to a charitable organization. Together with company Teqcycle Solutions we also operate the Cell Phone Collection Center online portal. Through this portal, authorities, associations and other organizations have the opportunity to start collection campaigns for donating used cell phones and smartphones. The website provides an overview of these partners and the collection campaigns they conduct. Such campaigns took place in Bavaria and North Rhine-Westphalia during the reporting period. We also welcomed two new cooperation partners in 2017: the Frankfurt Zoological Society and Pro Wildlife e.V. At the end of the year we donated the proceeds from the devices collected through recycling and reuse to environmental organization Deutsche Umwelthilfe e.V.
In 2017 we joined together with radio station Antenne Unna to hold a cell phone collection competition between the communities of the region. The station followed the various collection campaigns and crowned one of the communities the victor. The objective of the competition was to increase listeners' awareness of environmentally friendly resource consumption. The proceeds from the sales and recycling activities were donated to the Lichtblicke e.V. charity.
In 2017 we collected exactly 148,888 used cell phones and smartphones throughout Germany and either reused them or had them properly recycled. During the cell phone collection campaign we use a data deletion process that is DEKRA certified and complies with strict data protection requirements. Defective cell phones or devices where certified data deletion would be too costly are properly recycled using state-of-the-art, environmentally friendly processes at the Telekom Recycling Center in Goslar. Up to 100 percent of the materials can then be reused – as recycled metals or for energy generation.
We depict the relationship between commercially sold and collected mobile phones with our Cell Phone Collection ESG KPI.
We map the relationship between mobile devices brought onto the market and taken back with our ESG KPI "Take-back mobile devices". In 2017, approximately 317,000 mobile devices (excluding T-Mobile US, AMC, Maktel, Crnogorski) were taken back throughout the Group.
Support of various collection campaigns As in previous years, we supported the Die Handyaktion campaign conducted by different church-affiliated groups in the state of Baden-Württemberg in 2017 as well. This time the partners reinforced the campaign, together with the German Mineral Resources Agency and the Ministry of the Environment of Baden-Württemberg, with various educational measures. For example, they redesigned the "cell phone raw materials kit" for school classes. The kit contains various minerals that are used in cell phones. Using accompanying teaching materials, teachers can explain the significance of the raw materials in smartphones to their students.
The Responsibility and Sustainability. Join in! collection campaign in the state of Saarland, which we have been supporting since 2014, was extended until the end of 2018 due to ongoing interest. We are still a cooperation partner to the campaign, which focuses on projects such as providing special course material on the topics of cell phone collection and resource efficiency. Mutual cell phone collection campaigns with Saarland companies and institutions are a further focus. | [

BS article attempting to convince us of the wonderfulness of Trimet and that Mcfarlane is a great leader
Portland once expanded outward, gobbling up stumpy land turned to farms. Then it filled in side to side, growing sleepy outposts into industrial and technology-making hubs ringed by suburban housing developments. In recent years, many of its new commercial structures have aimed skyward. Few can dispute that the city has become something of a boutique celebrated nationally for avoiding the sprawl of, say, Houston, while creating a textured place with a personality of its own.(Portland has become the hub of white privilege and gentrification)
But Portland and its environs, substantially contained by the Urban Growth Boundary, is now a packed, groaning setting in which old streets, highways and bridges jam up with traffic for no apparent reason other than their reached capacity and plain inadequacy. Most every day, thousands of Portlanders -- mainly those in automobiles -- are made unhappy in their efforts to get around.
Caught in the squeeze is the agency TriMet, which sends buses and trains throughout the region in an effort to keep people moving. On a good day, it works. Often, though, delays and forced rerouting frustrate riders who are made late for work or derailed from errands. The agency reckons, correctly, that if the region is to expand by 400,000 people and 260,000 jobs in the next 20 years,(that's nothing but a guess and makes a great argument in favor of this tax increase) as the regional government Metro predicts it will, something has to give – and that's to say nothing of people stuck in cars wondering why the Oregon Legislature failed this year to pass a transportation improvement package.
Next month, TriMet's board of directors will decide (The Trimet board of directors are nothing but sock puppets that do whatever the general manager tells them to do)whether to charge more money from Portland businesses, already subsidizing about 56 percent of TriMet's half-billion-dollar budget through a regionwide payroll tax, to expand service. While the money ask starts out small, it escalates over 10 years to trigger an increase of $500 over the current $3,619 paid against a payroll of $500,000 -- a solid jump for any small firm working on thin margins.
Separately but significantly, TriMet has been busy living itself down. In recent years the agency has suffered in the public's eye for lavish, unsustainable health and retirement benefits to drivers and their families;(Nothing but a lie, the health benefits were above average but the retirement pay is much worse than PERS) a legacy of front-office privilege that included hefty compensation packages for executives;(this is certainly true, and is still true nothing has changed in this regard) pushback from some suburban leaders who argued MAX trains were efficient first for exporting downtown street-style crime to leafy neighborhoods; and the suspicion, as suggested by the charter-amending cities of Tigard and Tualatin, that TriMet is something of a Metro tool waiting to roar through with the next MAX train after winning a mere nod of approval from local elected officials.
Accountability would be ensured by the inclusion of a five-year review clause on any new payroll tax hike.(what a freaking joke this is, ridiculous pandering to the citizens when we all know there will be no real'review')
A century ago, it was possible to address congestion as a discreet challenge, because there was room to do so. Not now. TriMet's play for more money requires coordination with city, county, state and federal partners who control the narrow roadways and bridges that TriMet uses. So TriMet's ambitious, planned creation of bus rapid transit lines along Southeast Powell Boulevard and Division Street,(really, all they need on this corridor is five minute bus service, no construction needed) for example, will not only cost a lot of money but require a braiding of efforts and money streams from multiple agencies – along with good will from the public and a belief by Portland employers that their needs will be met.
Editorial Agenda 2015
The good news is that TriMet has done a solid job of tightening up its operations under its general manager since 2010, Neil McFarlane.(This is the same man who STOLE raises for himself and all his hand picked cronies while cutting services, raising fares, and cutting employees) A near-intractable dispute with the union representing drivers and mechanics found resolution in diminished benefits, most of all for new employees. Result: Agency revenues are more in line with expenses, though long-term commitments remain daunting. Separately, McFarlane has in the last year paid respect not only to fare-paying riders who have opinions about service enhancements but to Portland's businesses by sounding them out on the proposed payroll tax hike. He is credited for heeding a very | [

Scientists have found that certain components present in the Martian soil capable of destroying entire bacterial culture in just a few minutes. Researchers have long wondered over whether microorganisms are able to survive on the surface of the red planet. And the results of recent laboratory tests show that the destiny of any fallen on the surface of Mars green bacteria is unenviable. Apparently, potatoes grow on Mars will be much harder than previously.
The Problem is to perchlorates – chlorine-containing chemical compounds, first discovered on Mars in 2008. These substances on Mars in the liquid state, but actually turn it into acid brine. For people perchlorates are toxic, but not necessarily create the same problems for microbes. And since these connections allow water to remain in liquid form, scientists previously thought that their presence on Mars may be useful for life.
However, the researchers from Edinburgh University say that exposure to strong UV light these compounds make them a deadly poison for all forms of life.
"the Perchlorates are stable at room temperature, but become a powerful oxidizing agent when activated, for example, high temperatures", — the researchers report.
One of the ways to turn perchlorate into the acid is exposed to a powerful source of ultraviolet radiation. Since Mars is much less dense compared to earth's atmosphere, its surface is exposed every day to such type of radiation.
The Scientists decided to conduct an experiment. They took found on the skins of spacecraft (including ISS) bacteria Bacillus subtilis (Bacillus subtilis) and put it in the terms of artificially recreating the environment on the surface of Mars. The bacteria floated in a solution of magnesium perchlorate of the same concentration that is found on the red planet, and then they were subjected to ultraviolet radiation of the same wavelengths that bombard the Martian surface. The result that no bacteria have survived. The death occurred within 30 seconds.
To verify the experiment, the researchers also exposed to UV light for bacteria, is not placed in perchlorate medium. But even in this case, the entire colony was destroyed within only 1 minute.
Of Course, the surface of Mars not so wet as the bottom of a Petri dish. Therefore, the researchers decided to conduct a similar experiment by placing the bacteria in dry conditions, silica. This environment is a bit simplified the existence of the bacteria Bacillus subtilis, but in the end most of them still died. From this we can conclude that if Mars and there is life, then most likely she's lurking deep beneath the surface, where the concentration of perchlorate is much lower.
"Despite earlier suspicions of the presence of toxic effects, caused by acids present on the Martian surface, our observations show that the environment on the surface of modern Mars even more hostile to the living cells and is an explosive cocktail of acid, iron oxide, perchlorate and ultraviolet radiation", — scientists say.
If the salt flows down from the Martian rocks are indeed a concentrated flow of perchlorates, such environment is clearly unsuitable for sustaining life. And since perchlorates are present on almost the entire surface of Martian soil, based on the findings of the research team, we can sadly say that the majority of the planet's surface is uninhabited.
But there the share of positive news. If the Martian surface will be able to kill any terrestrial microbes upon contact, then the planet this will be a great defensive tool – less chances that in future missions, we will be able to bring back their terrestrial microbes.
Scientists, in turn, plan to continue their research and find out exactly how such a deadly cocktail on the Martian surface kills living cells.

In early 1928 the Galesburg City Council debated the need for viaducts over several railroad crossings. The city fathers were urged by hundreds of local residents to place on a high priority status the construction of either underpasses or bridges on West Main Street, East Main Street and North Seminary Street. It was also suggested that a similiar crossing be considered in the South section of town.
During the 1928 rail-crossing discussion Alderman W.H. Maley suggested construction of viaduct over the Santa Fe tracks on North West Street resulting in unreasoable blocking which caused vehicles to wait up to 15 minutes before proceeding. He also complained that that a viaduct should have been built on North Broad Street. Like a multitude of rail-crossing discussions in the past no action occured.
In 1912 the CB&Q Railroad assumed responsibility to construct a subway under the Rio tracks on East Losey Street. The project required elevating the height over nearly 8 feet. It should be noted that the Burlington Route also spent $1,000,000 at that time for a new depot and adjacent subway on South Street.
In March 1938 officials of the Santa Fe Railway announced that modern flasher signals would be installed a four downtown rail-crossings. Prior to that time only rail-crossings west of Broad Street and the eastern portion of town were protected with safety signals. The rail crossings at Pearl, Lincoln and North streets were of a wig-wag design.
The Santa Fe installed flashing signals at Chambers, Kellogg, Prairie and Cherry streets at a cost of $13,000 each. The Santa Fe announced they would maintain a tower-man at the Prairie Street crossing to protect vehicles when trains are being switched off and on from adjacent sidings.
The dilemma revolving around railroad crossings within city limits can be traced back to Illinois over 100 years ago. In 1909 Illinois Gov. Deneen announced his goal was to abolish all railroad crossings. He dictated that grade crossings in Illinois “must go” as soon as possible and included Galesburg. Orville Berry, chairman of the Illinois Commission on Railroads, said that edict would be carried out sooner than later. He also acknowledged that the cost would be tremendous.
Deneen explained that his desire to eliminate rail grade crossings for those traveling by horse and buggy or motorized vehicles was strictly for safety reasons. Three years following the governor’s proposed plan it became apparent that little progress had occured and would be too costly to implement.
Galesburg’s progress in implementing railroad crossing improvements has come a long ways in the past 100-plus years following construction of two new bridges, an underpass and successful rail quiet zones. Currently a near complete re-construction of the Farnham Street bridge is progressing.

On May 1st, 2011, President Obama announced that Osama Bin Laden, leader of the al Qaeda had been killed. With this announcement, one of the most painful decades in American history was brought to a close.
Since Bin Laden authorized the 9/11 attacks on the U.S., we, as a country — as a people — have suffered from lives defined by fear. Despite the fact that after 9/11, al Qaeda and Bin Laden’s influence waned, they remained important to us as a symbol of terrorism that we sought to bring to justice in an attempt to heal our pain.
We — the people — have had to choose whether supporting the war on terror, with its high costs in money and lives, was more important than our own well-being in difficult economic times. We — the people — have suffered form the political and economic strain that the war on terror has placed on our country and relations with other countries, but we have done so with understanding and by choice.
This pursuit of Bin Laden has also served to unite us all and give us a common boogeyman, a monster whose horrors were so great they made the ones in our personal lives more bearable. While there is great rejoicing that the leader and symbol of terrorism against the West is no more, we must also be aware that there will be a period of strange grief to follow. Without a larger-than-life boogeyman to overshadow personal suffering, many will feel the true depth of their lives and losses for the first time. It will be harder to stand behind increases in military spending and increased military commitments when the reality that so many in this country are starving and homeless is at the forefront of our thinking.
Whether or not you believe that Bin Laden was captured and killed when the government said he was, or if you believe it is a gross manipulation of the voting public, we have to recognize that what has been a common unifying and distracting symbol for all of us has been destroyed. The war against terror is far from over, but we would do well to redefine what the primary terrorist that we pursue is.
As a country, we need to focus our efforts to fight the terrorist within. The one whose suicide attacks take the form of homelessness, hunger, and unemployment. The one who rallies their soldiers with messages that promote greed, hate, partisan self-interest and apathy.
Care must be taken that we do not race to find a new boogeyman abroad to distract us from this battle at home. We ahve fought and suffered overseas for long enough. While there is still more work to be done to end the reign of terror that al Qaeda began, it is time to bring our energy home and work on the battle within.
It is time to come home. it is time to take care of our own. it is time to heal the wounds that began long before that day in September. | [

IT’S REAL! A NEW MATRIX IS COMING! A NEW MATRIX IS COMING!
And even better news, they have a less chance of messing it up because one half of the team which gave us the original trilogy, Lana Wachowski, will be writing and directing the film!
This contradicts previous reports of Zak Penn writing a script for the new film addition in the universe, but honestly, who cares?
Here’s what we know:
A script has already been written.
Aleksandar Hemon (author of The Lazarus Project) and David Mitchell (author of novel, Cloud Atlas, which was adapted into a film by the Wachowskis in 2012) co-wrote the script.
Neo & Trinity are back!
Variety reports that not only is Keanu Reeves returning for the next installment, but so is Carrie-Anne Moss! Say what? We all remember how she took her exit in the last installment of the original trilogy, helping Neo make it to the Machine City. As my favorite character, I can neither confirm nor deny that I cried during this sequence.
Production is estimated to begin early next year.
This means we could see the film as early as the year 2021!
What we don’t know:
With Reeves and Moss returning, it’s hard to speculate how they plan to reenter this universe. A prequel? An alternate reality where the war against the machines rages on? Tell me NOW!
You can’t think of Neo and Trinity without bringing up legendary Morpheus played by the legendary Laurence Fishburne. Dude is like the James Earl Jones of The Lion King. His presence, at least in some capacity is 100% essential. Which also brings to mind, who’s the new villain? and will they measure up to the formidable Agent Smith (Hugo Weaving)?
The fight sequences in this film acted almost as another major character in the film itself. They’re distinct, awesome, and courtesy of martial arts choreographer, director, and legend: Yuen Woo-Ping.
The themes of the original remain just as powerful and relevant today as they were premiering in March of 1999. With such an incredible cinematic contribution to storytelling, there are countless possibilities. Here’s hoping the newest addition brings forth new and unexpected qualities while honoring the same world we all know and love.
Are you excited for a new Matrix?? Let us know!

Lafourche Parish officials say a restoration project aimed at rebuilding beach and dunes at West Belle Pass on Fourchon beach is nearly halfway done.
Progress has been made despite some damage from Tropical Storm Debby in late June.
Lafourche Parish Coastal Zone Administrator Archie Chaisson told The Courier that the restoration project was moving along smoothly with 66 percent of the beach and dune recreation finished. Sand fending to prevent erosion is 44 percent complete.
The National Weather Service has discontinued a tropical storm warning for Louisiana after forecast models indicated that the state is under less of a threat from Tropical Storm Debby than initially thought.
Parts of Alabama and Florida remain under a tropical storm warning, however. Storm paths are generally hard to predict days in advance, and forecasters say they've been comparing several models to compile the official forecast. As of late Sunday, though, they believe the storm was less likely to make a westward turn toward Louisiana.
Forecasters dropped storm warnings for southeastern Louisiana Sunday afternoon and said the threat from Tropical Storm Debby had decreased.
National Hurricane Center forecasters backed away from an earlier projection that Debby might strike southeast Louisiana as a Category 1 hurricane. Instead they said they didn't expect it to turn west from its northward path that has it aimed at Florida and Alabama. | [
