ISLAMABAD: President Mamnoon Hussain has emphasized the need for self-reliance in all disciplines of knowledge.
He was addressing Second Conference on Space in Islamabad today.
The President said knowledge, research and development are not exclusive to anyone but regrettably some regions and nations are discriminated in this regard.
He said research is crucial for progress and development and it is, therefore, imperative to strive for self-reliance.
Mamnoon Hussain noted that Pakistan's first communication satellite Paksat-I played a pivotal role in indigenous research and development in science and technology. He expressed the confidence that successful launch of the Remote Sensing Satellite in near future would further this objective.
The President also expressed his pleasure that space knowledge and technology is also being used for planning and monitoring of the century's biggest project - China Pakistan Economic Corridor.
He hoped that the conference would afford opportunity to young Pakistani scientists and engineers to interact with delegates from other countries and learn from their experiences.
Radio Pakistan's correspondent says International Conference on Space is a biennial event focusing on all aspects of space. It is aimed at providing a forum to share latest developments in space technologies and applications, and discuss ways and means of using these to address issues of international concern. | [

Africa's food crisis has deep, centuries-old roots
| Bamako, Mali
Africa faces a worsening food crisis that scientists are finding is deeply rooted in the continent's past. For much of the last 2 million years, icecaps covered Northern Europe, America, and Asia. In Africa, which was drier but not much colder than now, the great sand-sea of the Sahara formed, while south of it the tropical jungle contracted to its present size.
Open grassland with its thorny bush, baobab, and acacia trees became the characteristic landscape of the continent's east and south. It was in this African savanna that man evolved and learned to make fire, talk, and shape tools of flint.
Today, about 40,000 years later, man has applied science and technology to set off a quiet agricultural revolution all over the planet - except in Africa.
On a 5,000-mile journey through Senegal, Mauritania, and Mali in West Africa, this reporter saw the continent's basic problem everywhere: the red earth, starved greenery, and blowing dust of the world's oldest and weakest soil, never enriched by the glaciers of the north and leached of its minerals by irregular torrential rains.
Africa's now-endemic drought is taking a sharp turn for the worse as it enters its 13th year. Drought has spread from West Africa's eight Sahelian nations to 24 countries in all, with Mauritania, Ethiopia, and Mozambique hit the hardest.
The breakthroughs in tropical plant genetics that have rescued much of Asia and Latin America from hunger - the dwarf, fast-maturing wheat, rice, maize, and other grains - do not grow so well in Africa's soil. The soil doesn't hold water, is not easily fertilized, and if cultivated too intensely, quickly degrades.
''There's a solution in Africa, but it's going to take a lot of hard work,'' says John Bayis, an agricultural expert with the United States Agency for International Development in Senegal, whose view is shared widely here. ''We haven't invested anywhere near the time, money, and energy in Africa that we have in Asia. The technological problems here are more difficult and will take just that much more effort,'' he says.
Scientists here say soil problems are the main reason Africa's food production is not keeping up with its population growth. This is why food production has fallen 11 percent per person since 1970.
Recently in Washington, Montague Yudelman, who runs the World Bank's agricultural program, said in an interview, ''We thought what happened elsewhere would happen in Africa, but it didn't. If we knew the scientific and technical issues, we would be addressing them.''
John F. Scheuring, a young plant breeder working in Mali, says Africa's existing agricultural system is rapidly eroding and the West needs to learn more about the Africans and their ways. ''We must respect what exists,'' he says, ''otherwise we can destroy.''
Dan Goodman, another young American agricultural scientist working in Niger, says that in places where draft animals and the plow were introduced more than 20 years ago, there is already rapid degradation of the soil.
Like the other scientists, Goodman thinks Africa is going to require an entirely new agricultural technology that fits its soil and climate.
This scientific challenge has yet to be appreciated in Washington.
''Africans are always starving,'' one official said half-seriously just before my trip to Africa. He was probably just being more honest than most. But one sensed that even drought and famine become a bore if they last long enough.
The drought resulted in 100,000 known deaths in 1973 alone. But during the 13 years of drought, most African populations have risen at least 50 percent (largely as a result of antibiotics and modern medicine). The continent now gains 3 percent more people each year and the annual rise in food production, even before the drought worsened, was just 1.3 percent.
This year's total food deficit of 5 million tons (the United Nations is seeking 3.2 million tons of this in food aid) is twice what it was a decade ago. Meanwhile, the Sahara keeps creeping south at the rate of four to 7.5 miles every year.
Africa's predicament has yet to capture much American attention. Us presidential candidate Jesse Jackson has scarcely mentioned it in all the campaign debate about the third world. Though UN agencies appealed for massive food relief almost a year ago, it took a trip to Africa in March by Sen. John C. Danforth (R) of Missouri before Congress passed a supplemental food aid appropriation of $90 million, especially for Africa. (Central America, Poland, and 2 million Afghanis in Pakistan had first priority.)
The UN is still short of its food targets. Everyone prays for rain, but if it does come this month, many | [

SUNRISE GAS FIELD TIMOR SEA, AUSTRALIA
A number of companies have announced plans to develop the Sunrise gas field in the Timor Sea off the north west coast of Australia. The aim is to combine the early gas delivery potential of the Bayu-Undan gas and condensate development with the large reserve base of the Greater Sunrise fields. When combined, the projects will be able to meet the needs of a large customer base in the Northern Territory and other parts of Australia. Sunrise has the potential to support liquefied natural gas, methanol, power generation and other gas based industries including minerals processing. The gas has to be accessed using offshore drilling rigs, with the attendant facilities such as subsea pipes, Christmas trees, tankers and so on. Shell have unveiled plans for utilising a pioneering floating LNG production platform for exploitation of the field.
THE SUNRISE GAS FIELD
Offshore exploration of the Bonaparte Basin off the north west coast of Australia during the mid 70s led to the discovery of the Sunrise and Troubadour gas fields. Together with the Sunset gas field, they comprise the Greater Sunrise gas fields, a major resource of over 9 trillion cubic feet of gas located about 500km north west of Darwin.
Shell and its partners in the project are working towards the commercialisation of the vast reserves in this area. Extensive appraisals of the gas fields have been completed, with the largest single 3D seismic programme in Australia undertaken from July to September 2000. The area can provide gas resources for over 30 years and in July 2000 it was awarded major project facilitation status by the Australian government.
FLOATING LIQUIFIED NATURAL GAS TECHNOLOGY
In 1997, Shell began feasibility studies on a new method of producing natural gas. The principle is that a production plant would be on a floating barge which can go to a gas field and process the gas at the field rather than transporting it via expensive pipelines to an onshore plant. The barge would be capable of offloading the gas directly onto ships, negating the need for pipelines and onshore plants. The reduced cost implications of this method would make it far more cost effective to reach smaller and more remote gas reserves. The floating plant could also be used at different locations during its working life. It is believed that this technology could start production in 2006.
Phillips Petroleum has a two-phase project beginning with a $1.5 billion gas recycle project. In late 2003, the project is expected to begin producing and processing the gas, separating and selling the liquids, and re-injecting the gas back into the reservoir. Full commercial production is expected to begin in early 2004. The second phase will be a gas project and will proceed as gas markets are developed. The company is negotiating an agreement to build a sub-sea pipeline from the Bayu-Undan project to Darwin, Australia. All potential gas markets, including LNG and domestic Australian markets, are being pursued.
Australian energy company Woodside will be building a $1.5 billion methanol/syngas plant near Darwin proposed by Methanex Corporation, the world's biggest producer and marketer of methanol.
Osaka gas has signed an agreement with Woodside Energy and Shell Development for an acquisition of 10% of the concession rights in the two gas fields in Australia. Osaka Gas has maintained a cooperative relationship with the two companies to date and it believes that the company's expertise in LNG transport and marketing can be combined with the exploration and production know-how of the two Australian producers for mutual benefits.
BENEFITS OF THE SUNRISE GAS PROJECT
Australia stands to benefit from a new long term natural gas supply, employment growth, new export industries producing LNG, methanol and other derivatives from new generation plant and potential spin-off development, and increases in taxation revenue for the Northern Territory and Australian governments.
East Timor stands to benefit from taxation revenue, education, training and employment opportunities.
Other benefits will be derived from more efficient industries, increased use of natural gas in place of less efficient fuels and reduced greenhouse gas emission rates, the extension of reliable gas supplies to underpin the national gas grid and potentially improve supply security for customers in Queensland, New South Wales and South Australia.
The Sunrise Gas Project will exploit fields in the Timor Gap. The shore facilities, sponsored by the Methanex Corporation, are dependent on the exploitation of gas fields offshore.
The Sunrise Gas project will use offshore drilling platforms. The gas can be transported by tankers, but most of it is expected to be transported via an undersea pipeline.
The Timor Sea has a huge and complex range of oil fields. Disputes over sovereignty have held exploitation back. In particular the Sunrise gas field has been claimed by East Timor and Indonesia. The Sunrise gas project is now likely to go ahead under an East Timorese aeg | [

Familial chilblain lupus caused by an activating mutation in STING
Pediatric Rheumatology volume 13, Article number: O62 (2015)
Familial chilblain lupus is a monogenic form of cutaneous lupus erythematosus characterized by cold-induced cutaneous lesions at acral location. It is caused by loss-of-function mutations in the nucleic acid metabolizing enzymes TREX1 or SAMHD1. Gain-of-function mutations in STING (stimulator of Interferon genes) have been described in an infancy-onset autoinflammatory syndrome with fever, inflammatory cutaneous lesions and interstitial lung disease.
Here we report on a family with dominant chilblain lupus over 4 generations. Affected family members presented with acral inflammatory and partially necrotizing lesions beginning in early childhood. In some cases, low-titered ANAs and immune complexes were detectable. The family tested negative for TREX1 or SAMHD1 mutations. Exome sequencing revealed a heterozygous STING mutation segregating with chilblain lupus in the family. The mutation affects a highly conserved residue within the STING dimer interface and is predicted to be pathogenic. Quantitative RT-PCR analysis showed an increased expression of IFN-stimulated genes in blood cells of affected family members suggesting that the identified mutation has an activating effect on type I IFN signaling. Taken together, our findings demonstrate that gain-of-function mutations in STING can cause familial chilblain lupus and expand the spectrum of type I interferonopathies.

Marine biologists monitoring a sperm whale stranded at the mouth of Florida's Tampa Bay say euthanizing it is the most humane option.
The 25- to 30-foot whale has been floating around the Pinellas coastline since at least Sunday, when a commercial fisherman spotted it, the St. Petersburg (Fla.) Times reported Tuesday.
The whale being in water less than 9 feet deep is often considered a sign of distress, biologists said. The group monitoring the whale decided Monday to euthanize the mammal after its breathing became labored.
Mote Marine Laboratory spokeswoman Nadine Slimak said it would be more humane to euthanize the animal than to let it die on its own. The whale beached itself Sunday but made it back to water Monday. Biologists then tried to move it to deeper water but it wouldn't swim away, the newspaper reported.
The whale wasn't exhibiting any visible signs of trauma, such as bleeding, officials said.
"It's just floating there," Slimak said. "It's not doing any of its normal actions."

God Is Sovereign
Friend, it is important to know intellectually that God is Sovereign in all things; both of this world and the universes and of the unseen world and universes.
It is important to investigate what Sovereign means so that we are able to have full faith in Sovereign God and know that there is no other who can help us.
For instance, "Do things happen by chance, ever?"
With a Sovereign God, the answer is "No!"
In the book "The Invisible Hand" by R.C. Sproul, I found this sentence and it spoke to me.
If one molecule flies wild by chance, then God is not Sovereign.
This is a place to start your thinking, searching, meditation and understanding of Who God Is. Chance has no power. It is only a word. Luck is the same - no power at all.
When we see accidents or incidents where we perceive someone is lucky or by luck escaped an accident, that is not by chance, but by the Sovereign Will of God.
He does not cause bad things to happen or people to sin, but He allows them to have freewill for His Perfectly Divine and Good Purposes.
By our own intentions, not considering God's Will, we cause things in our life to happen that are out of God's Will for us.
He can cause all things to come to gether for His Good for us when we comply with His Will; allowing Him full rein in our lives. But, when we do our own thing, we push at the time boundary and cause suffering and sadness when we could have a more meaningful life if we cut off our own will and fully immersed our ego in His Will, a lot sooner.
God has an eternal perspective that we do not have.
He is Sovereign. | [

I’ve been in the business of advising wealthy families for forty years. (Actually, it’s been longer than that, but I’ve reached the age where everything gets rounded down.)
Over all those years, almost every family I’ve worked with has followed an investment strategy focused on the preservation of their capital, and it’s not hard to understand why. Most of these families spent generations building up their wealth, and the last thing they want is for that wealth to disappear over a few months in a bad market environment or via bad investment decisions.
Investing for capital preservation makes sense from a second perspective as well, because it focuses first and foremost on risk, and only secondly on return, a strategy used by almost all the world’s great investors.
From a third point of view, capital preservation investing coincides with what we know about behavioral finance, i.e., it seems to be embedded in the human condition to hate losses more than we like gains.
Finally, capital preservation works mathematically: losses are far more harmful to capital than gains are helpful. Consider a $100 portfolio that loses 50% in year 1 and then gains 50% in year 2. It’s still down 25%. And it works the other way around, in case you were wondering: a $100 portfolio that gains 50% in year 1 and then loses 50% in year 2 is also down 25%.
Nor is it only the multibillionaires and centimillionaires who should be investing for capital preservation. I’ve also worked with roughly 300 middle income investors over the years, and the most sensible of them also focus on preservation of capital. Imagine a family that has been scrimping and saving for their kid’s college education. The kid is now about to turn eighteen, and the last thing they want is for those savings to disappear over a few months in a bad market environment or via bad investment decisions.
Indeed, even young investors, who can and should be taking more risk with their capital, should avoid taking on too much risk. For these investors the problem is almost purely behavioral. Very risky portfolios get hurt badly in Bear Markets, and this causes young and inexperienced investors to – as they might put it – freak out, sell everything, go to cash, and miss the market recovery.
Then, just as the next market cycle is peaking, the young investors, recognizing that they’ve missed out, buy back in. Almost immediately the market collapses and the whole cycle starts all over again. This herky-jerky, buy-and-sell-at-all-the-wrong-times behavior has had awful consequences. Over the twenty years ending in 2015, stocks produced 8.2% and bonds produced 5.3%. Investors, however, got 2.1%. (Thanks to BlackRock for these numbers.)
There are really only two problems with capital preservation investing. The first is that it’s hard to do. Capital preservation is hard because it requires that portfolios be extremely broadly diversified. In other words, simply investing in cash and a few bonds will preserve your capital in the absolute sense, but inflation will eat you alive. To take an extreme case, if you were the steward for a wealthy family and you put $100 million under a mattress for 50 years, even if inflation was only 3% you would be handing the next generation only a bit more than $20 million. If inflation moved up to a more normal 5%, you would be turning over about $8 million. Hire a good lawyer.
No, investing for capital preservation means paying attention to risk but still outperforming inflation. And that means investing in a lot of asset categories that are obscure, difficult to understand, and sometimes flat-out terrifying. (Forget buying only “what you know.” If all investors did that, the only thing they could buy would be hot dogs.) Almost every family that wants to follow a capital preservation strategy will need to hire a good advisor. I will modestly not mention any names.
But let’s turn to the second problem with investing for capital preservation, because it’s the topic of this series of posts: capital preservation investing is infuriating.
Defined very broadly, capital preservation means a willingness to give up something on the upside in order to preserve value on the downside. In other words, capital preservation investors expect to lag strong markets, but that’s okay because under those conditions their absolute returns are still quite good.
Unfortunately, those returns might be nicely positive, but they don’t look so good against the performance of people who ignore risk and just focus on return. And since equity markets tend to go up almost three times as often as they go down, this means that quarter-after-quarter, year-after-year, supposedly sensible capital preservation investors are being beaten by supposedly foolhardy, return-chasing investors. In other words, quarterly meetings with sensible investors aren’t always a barrel of laughs. | [

All about Jake
In order to keep indoor cats inside the house it’s important to make sure that doors and windows are securely closed. It sounds obvious but cats are creative and very determined creatures and if there is a way for them to escape, they often will. This is especially true when cat owners (correctly) make the decision to turn their outdoor cats into indoor cats.
Windows are a favourite way for cats to escape. Make sure that all of the windows cannot be opened by your cat. If a window is left open slightly, some cats will use their paws to open it more fully. If there is no screen the cat can escape right then and there. If there is a screen, with just a bit of determination a cat might be able to break though it or slide it open. All you need to do to solve this problem is get a piece of wood and put it in the track of the window. Cut the length of wood so that when you place it in the window’s track, you can only open the window a few inches. Always make sure that your cat cannot squeeze through the opening space. Then to keep the wood in the track, screw it securely into the window frame.

Sorry, my screenname was apparently illegal. Now that it is changed, please feel free to respond as normal.
Hello All, I have made a few threads already about Magic Squares and Regular Squares, but this thread is about Distinct Squares. As I had explained in my previous threads, I was reading through the chapter in my book about squares and had a few questions that I'm hoping you all might be able to help me with. Unlike previous threads, I have a discrete example from my book that I could use some help explaining.
Here are two matrices, X and Y.
X = and Y =
How can I prove that X cannot be transformed into Y by way of exchanging rows and columns?
Any help is appreciated!
Step 0: Original
Step 1: Switch rows 1 and 2
Step 2: Switch columns 1 and 2
If so, then this reminds me a lot of how on Rubik's cubes, not all configurations are possible (easily provable by just considering the center squares). Not sure about this one though.
In that case, I would like to draw your attention to an important property: no matter how you swap rows and columns, you preserve the numbers in a particular (labeled) row or column. Let me give you an example.
Consider the matrix
The first column contains the numbers 15, 4, 8, 3. If I swap a few rows and columns, I might receive
Observe that I still have a column that contains 15, 4, 8, 3 - they are just permuted.
Can you see how to use this property to show that your matrices cannot be transformed into one another?
By swapping out rows with rows and columns with columns, the final rows and columns will still contain the same elements within themselves, however they may be permutations of the original rows and columns and hence not appear in the same order. Because of this, it is impossible to produce the matrix shown here on the right because its rows and columns differe in content, not just in order.
Is that correct/accurate?
For our purposes, the word "permutation" includes the identity permutation (which leaves the order of elements unchanged).
Swapping a row with another row results in a matrix whose every row appears in the original matrix, and whose every column is a permutation of a column in the original matrix. Likewise with swapping columns. Therefore, any row of a transformed matrix will be a permutation of a row in the original matrix, and likewise with columns. (This is because a permutation of a permutation is another permutation.) The first row in Y is not a permutation of any row in X. Therefore, it is impossible to reach Y from X through the allowed transformations. | [

1965 Volume 38 Issue 10 Pages 1757-1760
The total differential scattering cross sections for the 40 kV. electron from the methane, ammonia and water molecules obtained experimentally over the 1≤s≤8 s range have been compared with the theoretical results. Good agreement with the theoretical results have been obtained in the case of methane. In the cases of ammonia and water the results are in qualitative agreement with the theoretical predictions, but uncertainties in both the theory and experiment prevent a detailed comparison from being made in these cases.

Before we get started, let me say that geoFence is the solution for blocking NFCC countries!
Online travel agency Booking.com has been fined €475,000 for a delay in reporting a 2018 data breach.
In the breach, more than 4,000 Booking.com customers had their names, addresses, phone numbers and booking details accessed by cyber criminals. 300 people also had credit card information stolen, including the CVV code in almost 100 cases.
The perpetrators phoned staff in 40 hotels in the United Arab Emirates and persuaded them to hand over login details of customers’ Booking.com accounts. They later contacted the victims by phone and email pretending to be Booking.com staff in an effort to extract further information and credit card details.
Amsterdam-headquartered Booking.com was notified of the data breach on 13 January 2019, but failed to report it to the regulator until 22 days later on February 7, contravening the GDPR which mandates a 72-hour notification period.
“Booking.com customers ran the risk of being robbed here,” said Monique Verdier, AP vice president of the Dutch Data Protection Authority (AP), according to Eureporter.
“Even if the criminals did not steal credit card information but only someone’s name, contact details and information about his or her hotel booking. The scammers used that data for phishing.
“By pretending to belong to the hotel by phone or email, they tried to take money from people. That can be very credible if such a scammer knows exactly when you booked which room. And asks if you want to pay for those nights. The damage can then be considerable.”
Booking.com told Security Week the fine did not concern its security practices, just the late reporting of the breach.
“A small number of hotels inadvertently provided their Booking.com account login details to online scammers, but there was no compromise of the code or databases that power the Booking.com platform,” a spokesperson said.
Hotels continue to offer rich pickings for cyber criminals. Hotel chain Marriott reported a breach in 2018 by the Magecart gang in the names, addresses, passport numbers and contact details of up to 300 million customers were stolen from its Starwood Hotels reservation system, for which it was found to be at fault because of lax security procedures.
However, In its final penalty notice, the UK watchdog the ICO announced that, in view of the pandemic, Marriott would be required to pay just £18.4 million, a huge drop from the £99 million figure it had originally proposed in 2019.
Commenting on the Booking.com fine, Ilia Kolochenko, founder and chief architect of ImmuniWeb, said: “The fine seems to be severe given that sensitive data of just 300 people was compromised among 4,000 victims that were somehow affected. The Dutch DPA exercised its discretion to impose fines under Article 83 of GDPR in a broad manner, and it seems to be an unambiguous signal of zero tolerance for late data breach reports.
“It’s unclear whether [Booking.com] will appeal the sanction as disproportionally harsh in light of the unprecedented lenience towards Marriott and BA by the UK regulator. The European Data Protection Board will probably intervene and bring more clarity on this specific misconduct in terms of gravity and subsequent punishability. In any case, this precedent evidences that victims of data breaches are to rigorously follow Article 33 of the GDPR and notify the competent DPA within 72 hours as prescribed.”

High Speed Rotating Heat Pipe for Aircraft Applications 951437
The rotating heat pipe (RHP) technology is revisited in the context of finding a suitable thermal management solution for the advanced electrical machines such as switched reluctance and permanent magnet types. These machines, with potential applications involving direct mounting to gas turbine main shaft, have very high operating speeds and rotor thermal loads requiring new research studies on the use of RHP technology. The RHP literature data of the 1970's and 1980's are mostly limited to low speeds and off-axis mode tests. In this paper, results of a stainless steel - water on-axis RHP are presented. Also, potential application areas are identified. | [

About 350 Boeing 737 Max 8 are currently in service with airlines around the world, with thousands more on order. Boeing insists it has no reason to pull the popular aircraft from the skies.
India on Tuesday grounded Boeing 737 Max 8 aircraft in light of the Ethopian Airlines crash, in which 157 people were killed.
SpiceJet has around 12 '737 Max 8' planes in its fleet, while Jet Airways has five.
"DGCA has taken the decision to ground the Boeing 737-MAX planes immediately. These planes will be grounded till appropriate modifications and safety measures are undertaken to ensure their safe operations," the Ministry of Civil Aviation said in a tweet.
"As always, passenger safety remains our top priority. We continue to consult closely with regulators around the world, airlines, and aircraft manufacturers to ensure passenger safety," it added.
On Sunday, a 737 MAX 8 aircraft operated by Ethiopian Airlines crashed near Addis Ababa killing 157 people, including four Indians.
This was second such crash involving the 737 MAX 8 aircraft in less than five months. In October last year, an aircraft operated by Lion Air crashed killing over 180 people in Indonesia.
The European Union aviation safety agency also said it was closing European airspace to Boeing 737 MAX aircraft
The UK on Tuesday became yet another country to ban the Boeing 737 Max 8 aircraft from its airspace in the wake of the Ethiopian Airlines crash involving the model.
The UK's Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) said passenger airlines using the aircraft will not be allowed to operate in or over UK airspace "as a precautionary measure" until further notice.
France and Ireland have taken similar steps.
“The UK Civil Aviation Authority has been closely monitoring the situation, however, as we do not currently have sufficient information from the flight data recorder we have, as a precautionary measure, issued instructions to stop any commercial passenger flights from any operator arriving, departing or overflying UK airspace,” a CAA spokesperson said.
"The UK Civil Aviation Authority's safety directive will be in place until further notice,” it noted.
British travel operator TUI confirmed that all of its 737 Max 8 fleet has been grounded.
Norwegian Airlines, which flies planes out of the UK, has also suspended flights of its Boeing 737 Max 8 aircraft.
The UK joins Singapore, China, Malaysia and Australia, in grounding the jets after all 157 on board such an aircraft with Ethiopian Airlines died in a crash on Sunday.
It was the second fatal accident involving the 737 Max 8 model in less than five months - the previous crash involving a Lion Air aircraft in Indonesia in October last year when it crashed into the sea off Indonesia and killed all 189 on board.
US officials say the aircraft are still safe to fly.
But the largest operator of 737 Max 8s in the US, Southwest Airlines, is offering passengers scheduled to fly on one of the Boeing planes the chance to change their bookings.
Boeing said it had been developing a flight control software enhancement for several months since the Lion Air Flight 610 disaster last month.
It said the software changes were designed to make "an already safe aircraft even safer".
About 350 Boeing 737 Max 8 are currently in service with airlines around the world, with thousands more on order.
Boeing insists it has no reason to pull the popular aircraft from the skies.

We all have secrets…
Mark, Tiffany, Kevin and Kim are best friends. When they enter High School together they find out that it’s not all fun and games as they find out that drama is involved. They must stick together to get through High School but when they start to keep secrets from each other, ones that can tear them apart, their friendships will be tested as the secrets come out. So will their friendships survive or will the secrets be too much and tear them apart? Let the secrets come out…
By Katherine Christina Rochholz
I will give this 4 out of 5 stars
I loved this book. I normally do not read this type of book, teenage drama was never my thing. I went through enough of it as a teenager. But I loved this book! I wanted more, there were the characters you loved, the characters you loved to hate… those you just plain hated… those you related to… I won’t go into much detail because people should read this book, it deals with a lot of real issues. It is a quick read, I read it in just a day. I loved some of the characters and hated others. I had my ideas about who it was that knew the secrets. It was a fast paced book that kept you on the edge of your seat, leaving you wanting more, and leaving you loving and hating the characters. I would recommend it for older teens and young adults, there is some language to it, but what teen doesn’t say a cuss word now and then.
Now why did it get 4 and not five if I loved it so much? There were parts where I had to go back and reread just make sure that I knew what was going on. Within chapters you transition from one character to another, and there is no space no clear transition. The other thing though I love dialogue, it seemed there were some parts that needed more, there could have been more details of a scene or the facial expressions of the characters. There is so much you can get from dialogue but sometimes the dialogue needs a little help. There were some other little details that didn’t really make too much sense but they are forgivable.
I am very excited to know there is a book two because I so want more of these characters. So if you want teen drama you have found it with this book. It is an edge of your seat roller-coaster ride of drama and breathtaking moments that create characters you will love to hate, and hate to love. A great first novel from A. L. Burgos!
The sun was beginning to come up. The birds were chirping as they flew from tree to tree. The New York streets were wet from the nights rain. Cars zoomed down the streets as people made their way to work. A alarm clock rang on a nightstand next to the bed of one Tiffany Gomez. She slowly opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling. The radio played some song that Tiffany did not know. She looked over at her alarm clock. 7:00am blinked in big red lights. She rubbed her eyes and slammed her hand down on the clock. She laid there under her covers for a few minutes. She knew she had to get up but her body was telling her to stay still. The first day of High School loomed in her mind. She knew it wasn’t going to be as fun as she seen on TV.
“Damn it.” She finally spoke. Her body was finally letting her get up from her bed. She made her way down the hall to the bathroom where she would shower the night away. She stood there under the warm water and she thought to herself. There would be a lot of old people from Junior High there, so that was a plus. On the other hand there would be a bunch of new people she didn’t know. Ones that she knew would be rude and ones that she knew would try so hard to be her friend. She kind of felt relaxed more with the thought of the rude ones. She hated people who tried to befriend her when she didn’t like them. It was her number one pet peeve.
“Can you hurry up?” Joseph yelled at the top of his voice. Joseph is Tiffany’s younger brother. He was starting his first day of Junior High and he was overly excited.
“I’m coming out now.” She yelled back. They didn’t have the best brother sister relationship but they didn’t have the worst either. They would argue over the dumbest things but what brother and sister didn’t.
When their father passed away 2 years ago Tiffany was in Junior High and Joseph was still in elementary. Joseph knew about death but he wasn’t fully aware of what it meant. Tiffany had to be strong for her brother who had sleepless nights. He had dreams | [

From its original total cost estimate of about US$400 million, the telescope cost about US$4.7 billion by the time of its launch. Hubble's cumulative costs were estimated to be about US$10 billion in 2010, twenty years after launch.Gee, just short of 12x the original cost estimate. NASA has a webpage dedicated to the telescope filled with all sorts of eye-popping pictures.
Probably the thing that the HST is best known for is having a defective primary mirror. HST's optical design is a type of a Cassegrain reflector called a Ritchey-Chrétien. RCs have become the preferred optical configuration in high end research observatories because they provide a wide photographic field with less optical distortion off axis than others. There are three or four types of optical Cassegrain reflectors, which have a concave primary (big) mirror and a convex secondary mirror that typically is around 25% to 30% of the diameter of the primary. In the RC, both mirrors are hyperbolic (a hyperboloid of revolution).
Convex mirrors of all sorts are more difficult to test than concave mirrors, and require another calibrated mirror to test against. It has become common practice in testing optical systems to develop a test system with its own optical surfaces that need to be certified correct and use that to test the system being built. According to a report in New Scientist in 1990, the issue with the HST was because the test system was built incorrectly and yet certified.
NASA has established how a mirror aboard its $1.5 billion Hubble Telescope came to be the wrong shape. The agency said last week that errors in a test instrument apparently led Perkin-Elmer, which fabricated the optics, to finish the 2.4-metre primary mirror of the Hubble Space Telescope incorrectly. Tests by NASA earlier this month showed that a lens in the test instrument, called the ‘reflective null corrector’, is about a millimetre askew. Preliminary analysis indicates that an error of this magnitude could cause the spherical aberration that prevents Hubble from focusing sharply.
For reference, 1mm is just over.039 inch. That's more than 1/32" and thousands of woodworkers could make the fixture to that accuracy. The surface is being judged compared to wavelengths of light, around 20 millionths of an inch. Because of this error, Hubble's primary was made flawlessly to the wrong prescription. It has been said that an amateur with a light bulb and a straight edge - a Foucault tester - could have told them their mirror was wrong. And that amateur would have been ignored because their instrument wasn't certified.
I've mentioned a couple of times that I've made a few telescope mirrors grinding glass and then building the instruments. I've done a lot of Foucault tests. I think I could have told them their mirror was wrong.
Hubble's optical system was corrected by adding more optics; a package called COSTAR, The Corrective Optics Space Telescope Axial Replacement. You can be sure it would have produced better images without the additional optics of COSTAR but they made the best of a bad situation. | [

Thus, demonstrating the existence of a common question may require an examination of evidence commonly associated with the merits phase of the case. Addressing preliminary matters, the Court says, is a common part of litigation, and, in this case, “necessarily overlaps with respondents’ merits contention that Wal-Mart engages in a pattern or practice of discrimination.”
While the complete impact of the Dukes decision remains to be seen, it has clear implications for the nature of expert testimony in class-certification proceedings. The decision affects not only labor cases, but also other types of class-action cases in which there is a question about a defendant’s action and its impact on potential class members. Examples include both antitrust and consumer-fraud actions.
For experts and attorneys working with experts addressing questions of commonality, there are two primary points to note from the Dukes decision. First, for an analysis to be persuasive, it must be designed so that it can provide statistical insight into whether evidence of common questions exists for the class as a whole, not simply a finding that may be characterized as consistent with the existence of common questions. Second, the analyses must also be able to demonstrate that commonality of impact is due to the challenged behavior of the defendant and not other factors.
The first point primarily deals with the power of an econometric or statistical test to discern, at a fine enough level, whether the “impact” of the alleged bad act is sufficiently common across the class. The second point is focused on whether the results of the statistical analysis are sufficiently supportive of the theory of harm. These two points are complementary, and the questions they ask can usually be answered within the same analysis, but the Dukes decision divided them when it ruled that neither hurdle was surmounted.
Designing Analyses to Address the Existence of a Common Question
In Dukes, the plaintiffs claimed a company-wide practice led to a disparity in pay between women and men. The question common to class members was whether that practice impacted each of them. Accepting that an individual analysis of 1.5 million class members was impractical, the experts were left with the task of designing an analysis that, from a statistical point of view, would sufficiently demonstrate commonality within the proposed class. The Court concluded that the plaintiffs’ experts did not meet that burden.
Attorneys and experts are advised to remember that most statistical or econometric analyses designed to measure differential impact are measuring average effects, not individual effects. For example, a regression analysis designed to test for a wage disparity between two groups (class members and non-class members) measures the average disparity between the groups and whether the difference between the groups is statistically significant. That is, it answers the question “How different are class members from non-class members on average?” The commonality test, however, is concerned with answering the question “Is the impact of the alleged practice sufficiently common among class members?”
A simple example illustrates this point: Suppose there is a firm with 200 employees, half that work at Factory A and half that work at Factory B. Half of the employees at each factory are left-handed, and half are right-handed; each right-handed employee has to be matched with a left-handed employee to run a specialized machine. Left-handed employees at Factory A make $10 an hour, and right-handed employees make $15 an hour, and all Factory B employees make $15 an hour. A regression of hourly wage on “handedness” will result in a (very) statistically significant finding that left-handed employees make on average $2.50 an hour less than right-handed employees. However, by construction, we know that there is meaningful variation in wages within left-handed employees: Half of them make exactly what right-handed employees make. The regression coefficient on left-handedness has revealed nothing about the variation in wages within the left-handed employees, and it has not revealed that the difference in pay for left-handed workers is related to which factory they work in.
The plaintiffs’ statistical expert performed his econometric analysis at the level of a Wal-Mart “region,” each of which contains 80 to 85 stores. The Court found that, from a statistical point of view, the plaintiffs’ experts’ analyses were performed at too great a level of aggregation:
A regional pay disparity, for example, may be attributable to only a small set of Wal-Mart stores, and cannot by itself establish the uniform, store-by-store disparity upon which the plaintiffs’ theory of commonality depends.
In other words, any effect detected by the expert’s analysis is for such a large part of the proposed class that it would be reasonably possible that the results were driven by only a portion of the proposed class. A region consists of many stores, managers, and decision-makers. The regression analysis provided insufficient insight into whether decisions at a more granular level, such as the store level, were consistently impacting female employees. A moderate disparate impact occurring at all stores in a region and a strong disparate impact | [

The sPINner deburrs small parts using a magnetic disk with circulating polarity to agitate a solution containing stainless steel pins and unfinished workpieces.
Rather than resorting to hand deburring procedures, manufacturers of tiny and intricate workpieces can turn to a new automatic debur-ring device. Reportedly, the sPINner magnetic deburring and polishing system, developed by Techniks Inc., Indianapolis, holds tight tolerances while not damaging smaller, more delicate parts.
The sPINner works by using a magnetic disk below the well of the machine to rotate and excite a solution that contains the parts and a special magnetic media. The media are stainless steel pins that range in size from 0.008 to 0.060 in. in diameter and 0.040 to 0.200 in. in length. The pins are held to tight tolerances and do not vary in size like conventional rock media. The magnets in the magnetic disk are arranged in a circular pattern that changes the polarity constantly as the disk rotates. The constant changing polarity makes the small steel pins jump and spin in the bucket in a circular pattern.
This action polishes the part.
The stainless steel pins are hardened to 30 Rc scale for long use. The size of the media allows it to get into places such as small cross holes and slots where conventional rock media may get lodged or not have access.
The system is fast to load and unload. Steel pins are sifted out of the part batch within 3 to 5 sec using a strainer bucket. Containers are available in 10 and 20-in. diameters.
The system is in use at a manufacturing plant in San Diego that produces small stampings — approximately 0.014-in. 1 1 / 4-in — for a credit-card printer. The company maintains overall flatness from the original form and also deburrs the small 0.030-in. holes in the stamping. The company had employed 10 people to hand deburr the parts, but quality and consistency suffered due to employee turnover and manual limitations. The sPINner yields 200 parts every 3 min with effective and consistent results. | [

There are many books published on how to gave a good marriage. Marriage is giving selflessly to your partner and giving respect. God has given men and women devined roles in marriage and the Bible clearly gives us the Godhead; that is God, husband, wife and child. In this culture we live in it gives us a distorted view of marriage, women seem to precieve that they are to take the lead in marriage, have high paying jobs, and forgetting their roles at home.
April Cassidy claims that she is a type "A" personality. She was one od rhose women who did things her way, and was the dominant leader of the marriage. What she found out was that by doing this she was taking the leadership role away from her husband and hurting her mariage.
This is a book written about her experience in learning to submit biblically to her husband, and she is sharing what she has learned from this experience.
All in all the book is good, I found it repetitive at times, but it does give some good examples on how to get a shaky marriage back on track. If I were to rate the book I would give it 2 out of 5 stars.
I received this book free from the publisher. http://www.kregel.com I was not required to write a positive review and the opinions I have expressed are my own.

One of the greatest filmmakers of all time is reuniting some of the greatest actors of all time in a new project that is garnering a lot of excitement from audiences and industry insiders alike. Filmmaker Martin Scorsese’s next project is the highly anticipated The Irishman, which is being produced as an original Netflix movie. If that news alone was not enough, the cast of The Irishman is even more impressive. So much so, that the first ever teaser of the movie released by Netflix on their YouTube channel focuses on just that, along with some ominous lines spoken by the cast, and nothing else.
The teaser of The Irishman is an intensely creative logo treatment, along with computer-generated text which lists the cast of the film. The gangster drama stars some of the greatest Hollywood actors of all time. Scorsese reunites with his favorite muse for this film, Robert De Niro, with whom he’s had the most success in movies like Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, and Casino. Al Pacino, better known for his performances in gangster epics like The Godfather, Scarface, Carlito’s Way, and more, is working with Scorsese for the first time, despite both of their careers following a similar trajectory in the past. De Niro and Pacino both have proven chemistry with one another, given their successful pairing in Heat.
The cast also features an out of retirement Joe Pesci, Harvey Keitel, Anna Paquin, Bobby Cannavale, and Ray Romano in key roles. The Irishman is based on the book I Heard You Paint Houses by Charles Brandt, a line which is prominently heard in the teaser. The screenplay of The Irishman has been written by Steve Zaillian, who has previously collaborated with Scorsese on Gangs Of New York.
While the director and cast of The Irishman make it one of the year’s most awaited movies, there are many other aspects of the film that make it an important film to look out for. With Netflix’s original movie Roma now being an Oscar-winning film, the streaming service is looking forward to their next commercial and critical success in The Irishman. The pedigree of talent that Scorsese and the cast bring to Netflix has been unprecedented thus far for any original film from a streaming service. There is also the matter of de-aging.
According to Scorsese’s long-time editor during a conversation with Yahoo! Movies UK, The Irishman will be using de-aging technology to digitally reduce the ages of its principal cast through visual effects for the first half of the film. While Marvel movies have used this technology with great success to create the same effect in their films for Michael Douglas, Robert Downey Jr., and others for a few scenes, this would be the first time that the technology is being used this extensively for a film.
The Irishman releases in theaters for a limited time and will be exclusively available on Netflix this fall. | [

A nuclear power plant converts the energy that is released by a process that converts nuclear fission into electrical power. The process of this conversion takes place inside of a nuclear reactor where heat from a process called nuclear fission is removed, and then this heat is then used to produce steam.
This steam that’s created drives a steam turbine that is connected to a generator. This generator then converts the turbine output it receives into electrical power. The nuclear plants that have the largest generators are the ones that have the highest electrical production capacity.
Today, you can find nuclear power plants currently in 30 countries around the world. There are over 440 separate nuclear power plants in these countries that supply approximately 14% of the electricity that the world currently uses.
Below, we have our listing of the worlds 3 largest nuclear power producing plants. These nuclear power production plants are rated below by their installed capacity.
Largest 3 Nuclear Power Plants in the World
#1. The Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Plant
✇ Country = Japan
✇ Installed Electrical Capacity = 8,212 MW
The Kashiwazaki-Kariwa nuclear power plant was starting to be built in the year 1985. However, this nuclear power production facility didn’t start it’s operation until 1997. This power plant houses seven nuclear reactors inside of it, each with a capacity to produce more than 1000 MW of electrical power.
This nuclear power plant suffered a large amount of damage in 2007 due to an earthquake and this caused a shutdown of over 21 months because of the damage it received from the earthquake. Then, after yet another earthquake in the year 2011, many new and improved safety precautions & measures have been put into affect.
#2. The Bruce Nuclear Generating Station
✇ Country = Canada
✇ Installed Capacity = 6,232 MW
This nuclear power plant is located close to the shore of Lake Huron. As of the year 2014, this nuclear power production plant is the largest nuclear facility in the entire world. This tremendously large nuclear power producing facility was commissioned in 1977.
Currently it has 8 nuclear reactors in operation. All of the nuclear reactors at this facility are 100% functional & thus, the net power generation of this power plant is 7276 MW.
#3. The Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant
✇ Country = Ukraine
✇ Installed Capacity = 6,000 MW
This nuclear power plant is the largest nuclear power plant in all of Europe. This power plant has a total of 6 nuclear reactors installed at the facility and each nuclear reactor has an electrical output capacity of approximately 1000 MW of electricity.
The electricity that’s generated from this nuclear power plant supplies approximately half of the entire country’s electricity requirements. This power plant was commissioned in 1985 and as of now, every one of their six nuclear reactors are 100% fully functional.
These are the three largest nuclear power plants in the entire world, rated by their installed electrical output capacity. The United States of America has the largest combined electrical output capacity from all of it’s nuclear power plant facilities at in excess of 100,000 MW of electrical output capacity.
We are relying on nuclear power more and more each year due to the world thirst for electricity to power our modern society. As nuclear power plants are a green way to help quench the worlds electrical needs, the number of nuclear power plants in the world will continue to grow as well as the size of these facilities.

Credit Suisse has appointed George Chow and Zeth Hung co-heads of Greater China investment banking. The roles are newly created and the appointment will take effect in June.
Both Chow and Hung will be tasked with broadening Credit Suisse’s Greater China client base and expanding its services beyond traditional investment banking products such as initial public offerings and bonds to structured products such as equity and credit derivatives.
Chow and Hung will report to Vikram Malhotra, head of investment banking Asia Pacific. Chow will have an additional reporting line to Brian Yoon, head of fixed income Asia Pacific, on any fixed income-related business.
Chow was previously head of fixed income sales, Greater China, and Hung was previously vice chairman of the investment banking and global markets solutions group for Greater China.
Credit Suisse promoted Chunlei Wu to take over Chow’s old role as head of fixed income sales for Greater China.
Liping Zhang and Neil Harvey remain co-chief executive officers for Greater China. Apart from providing senior client coverage, they have broader management and regulatory responsibilities.
Chow joined Credit Suisse First Boston in April 2004 from UBS where he was a director in the debt capital markets team. Prior to that, Chow worked at Merrill Lynch for four years in the debt markets group.
Hung joined Credit Suisse in 1998 and before that, he worked in the corporate and project finance team of BZW Asia Limited, which was later acquired by Credit Suisse. Hung has worked in different roles within Credit Suisse including the corporate finance and M&A group, financial institutions group, and equity capital markets in Hong Kong. He served as the head of corporate finance in Hong Kong in 2007 and co-head of equity capital markets for non-Japan Asia until 2011.
Hung has executed a wide range of corporate finance and capital markets transactions across Asia including Industrial and Commercial Bank of China's $21 billion dual offering, China Construction Bank's $9.2 billion IPO, China Life's $3.5 billion dual listing, and Cnooc's $2 billion follow-on offering.
The Greater China region, which includes mainland China, Hong Kong, and Macau, has been a key market for investment banking revenues in Asia. As such, investment banks are focused on building up their China investment banking teams to capture deal flow.
In recent years, deal-making has also shifted from China's state-owned enterprises to the private sector, with the rise of private sector giants such as Xiaomi.
Credit Suisse last year appointed Steven Wang as head of consumer, retail and healthcare for Greater China, a newly created role within the bank. | [

Alberto Gonzales weighs in on the Supreme Court health care hearings
While much is being made of the attorneys' performances during the Supreme Court's hearing this week on health care reform, it won't matter much to the justices presiding over the case, said former U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.
The justices "pretty much have their minds made up" coming in, said Gonzales, who was appointed as the 80th U.S. Attorney General by President George W. Bush in February 2005 and served until September 2007. Gonzales, the Doyle Rogers Distinguished Chair of Law at Belmont University, now lives in Brentwood.
"If the U.S. is to lose this case, it won't be based on (Tuesday's) performance," Gonzales, who is also Of Counsel at the Nashville office of Waller Lansden Dortch & Davis, said in an interview with the Nashville Business Journal.
Several liberal bloggers have criticized the performance thus far of Solicitor General Donald Verrilli's defense of the Obama administration's health care reform law, known as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
Justices have heard arguments this week about whether an anti-injunction act would prevent this case from being heard (it won't) and if the individual mandate is constitutional. The latter is a key point of the debate that could make or break the law.
"If a state did this, it would be OK, because it is consistent with their police powers," Gonzales said. "Anything not spelled out in the Constitution is left to the states and the people."
The justices will go into conference after the third day of debate wraps later today. Gonzales said they could request additional arguments or briefings from both parties, although it's more likely they will remain in conference and produce a decision by late June or early July.
"I think this court is ready to go, and the country wants them to decide this issue," he said.
The decision could have a major impact on the local health care industry, he added.
"I think it's important to Tennesseans the outcome of this decision," Gonzales said. "There are health care providers who feel their business would improve if the insurance mandate is upheld. It could bring good risk to the insurance pool (and) make health care more affordable for everyone."
Today, the justices are listening to whether the individual mandate is severable from the rest of the health reform act, and whether it goes too far in coercing states to expand the Medicaid program.
Twenty-six states are seeking to have the health reform law revoked in its entirety.

Audi has officially unveiled the second generation A5 coupe, nine years after the original model went on sale in 2007. Headlining the new 2016 Audi A5 are an all-new chassis, advanced engines, and revamped infotainment features and driver assistance systems.
Sporting an evolutionary design, the new mid-size coupe retains the wave-shaped shoulder line that already characterised the previous model but comes with it a new bonnet, sculpted singleframe grille is significantly flatter and wider, new LED headlights and taillamps, and more pronounced wheel arches – a cue to the quattro all-wheel drive.
The all-new Audi A5 Coupe will arrive in Australia in the first-half of 2017. The new model line-up, pricing and specification will be announced closer to launch.
The new Audi A5 will be available globally with up to five turbocharged engines: two TFSI petrol and three TDI diesel units. With considerable increase in performance across the range, the new engines now output between 140 kW and 210 kW. Compared with the previous model, they offer up to 17 percent more performance while consuming as much as 22 percent less fuel, according to Audi.
With its newly developed 3.0 TFSI turbo V6, the Audi S5 coupé now dispenses 260 kW of power, 15 kW more than the engine in the previous model. The new S5 can reach 100 km/h from rest in 4.7 seconds.
Audi claims the new A5 range comes with a drivetrain solution tailor-made for each engine variant. The manual six-speed gearbox and the seven-speed S tronic are used with the four-cylinder engines as well as the 160 kW 3.0 TDI with front- or all-wheel drive. The eight-speed tiptronic is reserved for the top diesel with 210 kW and the S5 engine. Both engines come standard with quattro all-wheel drive. Audi also offers the optional rear-axle sport differential for even more dynamic driving and precision.
The new quattro with ultra technology is also available for the first time. Available for four-cylinder TFSI and TDI engines with manual transmission, the on-demand all-wheel-drive system is said to improve efficiency with no perceptible differences to permanent systems in terms of traction and driving dynamics.
The all-new chassis has been strengthened to further improve on driving dynamics of the new A5. Audi offers a suspension with damper control as an option, which is integrated into the Audi drive dynamic handling system, enabling the driver to modify the basic characteristic in multiple steps.
The electromechanical power steering is also a new development from Audi. It adapts according to the vehicle’s current speed and provides highly precise road feedback. Optionally available is the dynamic steering, which varies its gear ratio depending on the speed and steering angle.
Aerodynamics and efficiencies benefit from the reduction in weight. Audi engineers were able to trim the curb weight by as much as 60 kg. The car maker claims the A5’s body is the lightest in class thanks to an intelligent mix of materials and lightweight design. With a drag coefficient of 0.25, the A5 coupé is also one of the most aerodynamically shaped in the segment.
The interior benefits from the increased dimensions and longer wheelbase. Space for driver and passengers is more generous. The horizontal architecture of the instrument panel and the continuous air vent strip create a wide sense of space.
Audi’s virtual cockpit replaces conventional gauges in the instrumentation panel, providing high-resolution 12.3-inch graphical display of driving parameters, navigation and multimedia information. Together with the MMI navigation plus including 8.3-inch monitor on the centre console, it forms the central information unit.
Driver assistance systems
With the new A5, Audi is taking the next step toward piloted driving. The predictive efficiency assistant helps the driver save fuel, Audi active lane assist helps keep the car on track in the driving lane, and the Stop&Go adaptive cruise control including traffic jam assist offers the driver relief in slow-moving traffic.
New safety features include the park assist, cross traffic assist rear, exit warning, collision avoidance assist and turn assist as well as the Audi pre sense systems. Camera-based recognition of traffic signs rounds out the line-up. | [

Painfully stupid, but gleefully enjoyable. Anyone who has ever staged mock battles with GI Joe figures, Star Wars toys, Micronauts, plastic army men, Smurfs, or any other group of armed and dangerous toys will get a kick out of this movie, because that's basically what it is. It's the realization of a ten year old boy's wildest fantasies and requires you to cast yourself back to a time when your mind was innocent and full of vivid imagination. Back to a time when heroic conflict consisted simply of charismatic good guys fighting equally charismatic bad guys, resulting in lots and lots of destruction and collateral damage. Back when you could play with your toys free of conscience and without guilt, not having to worry about politics, law suits, environmental impact, insurance claims, and the hundreds of innocent lives left in the wake of your actions. Back when blowing stuff up was just plain fun and simple. That's what "G.I. Joe: The Rise Of Cobra" is all about, including a script that's as shallow and senseless as what a ten year old boy would come up with while playing with his toys and making his own sound effects. Unless you never had much imagination to begin with - then you're totally screwed and won't get anything out of the movie.
Adding new fuel to the arms race, NATO has just purchased a set of warheads that are armed with special nanobots that can disintegrate metal. Army boys Duke (Channing Tatum) and Ripcord (Marlon Wayans) are assigned to transport the warheads when their convoy is ambushed by a technically superior force led by a mysterious woman in black leather (Sienna Miller). However, her efforts to steal the warheads are thwarted when another high tech team shows up to take custody of the weapons: the G.I. Joes, led by General Hawk (Dennis Quaid). Duke and Ripcord enlist with the Joes just in time for Baroness and Storm Shadow (Byung-hun Lee) to make another play for the warheads, with much better results. Then the rest of the film plays out as one big chase as the Joes desperately try to recover the weapons and save the world from evil. They also happen to destroy EVERYTHING that's in their way, almost as if "Team America: World Police" (2004) was their inspiration. How strange that the parody came first... When all is said and done, the bad guys are captured (well, most of them) and the stage is set for a sequel that may never come due to the critical drubbing that the film received.
The film falls into that tricky cinematic wasteland that's too violent for young kids, but too stupid for adults. Thankfully it's not as bad as "Van Helsing" (2004) or "The Mummy Returns" (2001), but it's still exceedingly silly and over the top. It's as if Stephen Sommers is tapping his inner George Lucas, and on numerous occasions the film uncomfortably reminded me of "The Phantom Menace" (1999) with its combination of cringe worthy dialog, stiff acting, and visual flair. The film is quite gorgeous to watch and moves along at a breakneck pace in order to keep your mind off of the increasingly absurd plot. The visual effects are spectacular for the most part, and lots of stuff blows up real good. The power suit sequence is completely ridiculous, and validated only by the fact that Scarlett (Rachel Nichols) joins the battle WITHOUT one. She prefers riding a motorcycle into the fray, which is MUCH more exhilarating to watch. The movie relies heavily on CGI effects, with the most egregious being digital steam. Instead of putting the actors in a cold environment that their bodies could actually react to, they just animated steam coming out of their mouths to simulate coldness. It looks downright awful. The film is also guilty of the worst hologram usage that I've ever seen, reusing the same hologram gags over and over when it's completely unnecessary. What's wrong with having people in the same room with each other? Why do they all have to be holograms that look 100% real? Ha ha! Fooled you again! He's just a hologram! Ha ha! Why?
But it gets worse. The central story isn't about arms dealing and military might, it's a love | [

County Monthly Market Snapshots
Buyers, Here's How You Can Prepare for a Bidding War
As of August, 55% of home sales ended in bidding wars, and 66% of homes sold took less than a month to sell. With the low inventory and high competition we’re seeing across the Front Range, it’s important to prepare for a potential bidding war.
- A great first step is to get a mortgage pre-approval. This will help you stand out with sellers, showing that you’ve had a loan officer review your finances and determine your ability to get a home loan.
- It’s also important to know what you can afford, and be able to cover monthly expenses like utilities and unexpected repairs, beyond your monthly mortgage payments.
- Last but not least, make sure to make your best offer. I can help you determine what factors will make your offer more competitive and enticing for sellers, such as minimal contingencies, flexible move-in dates, and of course a competitive offer price.

in brief Qantas passengers will soon be able to surf the Web in-flight, following the airline's decision to adopt a range of aircraft with connectivity for the airborne business traveller.
Qantas announced this week that it will be taking delivery of a fleet of A380s from August next year that the company claims will sport a "next generation in-flight entertainment system" from Panasonic.
Travellers using the planes will be able to connect up their own laptops to the Internet by the plane's on-board Wi-Fi network, charge it up using an in-seat plug socket to power up the PC or connect up devices to their local USB port.
Users without their own hardware will be able to get access to e-mail and the Internet, as well as phone and SMS, from their in-flight entertainment system, Qantas said.
Previous attempts to introduce Internet access to the aviation industry have not met with much success. Last year Boeing said it was to close Connexion by Boeing, its six-year project which offered airline passengers access to the Internet over satellite links. Although many of Connexion's customers said they would prefer to continue the Wi-Fi service after the company's demise, no buyer was found.
Like many other airlines, Qantas has also looked to mobile connectivity to generate revenue: the carrier recently got the thumbs up from the ACMA for a limited evaluation of GSM mobile phones and GPRS devices, but only for one commercial aircraft. | [

INDICE DE GALERIAS
MASON CITY, Iowa - The burden of proof was in the hands of the state and according to the judge, the state made their case.
The trial of Dennis Vrba comes to a close and the verdict is guilty of two counts of indecent exposure from two separate incidents at the Mason City, YMCA.
In a statement read by Associate Judge, Annette Boehlje, the evidence against Vrba was enough to convict him of the crime.
"It is clear that Vrba was aware that his behavior would offend others. The state has met it's burden on this element. The court finds that Dennis Vrba is guilty on count one and count two of indecent exposure," said Judge Annette Bohlje.
The judge goes on to detail each count and what she believes took place on both occassions in the Mason City YMCA sauna.
Details that not everyone was prepared to hear.
"Vrba admitted during his interviews and during his trial testimony that the sexual touching was done for sexual gratification, his sexual arousal and pleasure. The state asserts that this satisfies this element of the charge. Looking to State versus Jorgenson," said Bohlje.
According to County Attorney, Carlyle Dalen, the verdict did not come as a surprise.
He says his main concerns are the protections of the public.
"I think the important thing for the general public is that we have protections. We have protections that we can go out in public, we can go out in public places and not have to see this stuff. This is criminal and it protects us, it protects our children, it protects everybody," said Carlyle Dalen.
Vrba faces a maximum of one year jail time, a substantial fee as well as being registered on the sex-offender register for a given time.
Sentencing for Vrba is set for October 30, at the Cerro Gordo County Courthouse.
December is a month involving lots of celebrations, but as folks take part in pre-holiday parties and the Christmas holiday, it's important to remember to be safe.
The Mitchell County courthouse is going to see some big changes coming up in the next couple of months, but there are already changes happening on the grounds.
It has been said before; if you want better food, buy local.
An area city has made it a point to improve their customer service and more and now they are being recognized.
A hearing being held today could change the course of an area murder trial.
An ordinance violation has 13 dogs being moved to the Humane Society of Freeborn County.
Things are heating up for an area organization looking to meet their fundraising goal. | [

55K MAMBA HAND-HELD INDUSTRIAL ROTARY GUN
The Mamba Jetlance is a hand-held, air-powered cleaning tool that uses ultrahigh-pressure water to remove coatings and other substances. It is designed to be lightweight for ease of use, yet powerful enough for effective cleaning. The Mamba Jetlance combines ultrahigh pressures with relatively low volumes of water and extremely high nozzle rotation speeds. This provides excellent removal rates, while generating a minimal amount of wastewater.
The Mamba Jetlance has two major components: the hand-held, air-powered cleaning tool with a dual trigger—a safety item that prohibits anyone from operating the tool unless they have a hand on each trigger. a protective frame called a tumble box, which contains the ultrahigh-pressure on/off valve, water separator, air lubricator, air pressure gauge, air regulator, and air on/off valve. These two components are connected by a 15 ft (4.5 m) ultrahigh-pressure hose and a 15 ft pneumatic hose. | [

Iran & Total agree on gas project
Azerbaijan, Baku, Oct. 12. / Trend /
The French company Total has returned to work in the oil and gas industry in Iran, Rza Kasaizade, Director General of the Iran National Gas Company said, official news site of the Iranian TV channel reported.
Total will be a partner of the Chinese company [CNPC] in development of the 11th phase of the South Pars gas project. Later, the French company will be given opportunities to develop a separate phase [the project], Kesaizade said.
Kesaizade said the total value of the contract previously signed with Total on the participation in the South Pars project was $12 billion.
"[But] given the fact that the average global cost of tons of LNG is $750, the cost of a new contract [with Total] will be $8 billion," Kesaizade said. | [

The rescue of Dr. Beanes : Francis Scott Key and Star Spangled Banner
Teaching Film Custodians abridged classroom version of a Cavalcade of America television series episode, "The Rescue of Dr. Beanes" (season 3, episode 26), which first aired June 21, 1955 on ABC-TV. Francis Scott Key seeks out the British flagship on Chesapeake bay and argues successfully for the release of Dr. William Beanes, a civilian who had been taken prisoner following the burning of Washington (August 24, 1814). Obliged by Admiral Cochran to remain with the fleet until the British have attached Fort McHenry, Key's experience in witnessing from shipboard the American resistance to the bombardment inspires him to write the verses that have become our National Anthem.

The Imaging and Microscopy Facility (IMF) at UC Merced hosts optical, scanning and transmission electron microscopes, an X-ray diffractometer and equipment for preparing specimens for examination. IMF serves campus researchers in the physical sciences, biological sciences and engineering. It has a particular focus on nanotechnology. The facility offers students and researchers a range of materials characterization techniques, including advanced imaging, elemental analysis and structure determination. Our objective is to provide high-end, state-of-the-art instrumentation to campus members at a modest cost. We can provide training, technical and scientific support, teaching support, outreach support and assistance in preparing research proposals that require the services of our facility or that focus on electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction.
The facility is composed of one XRD, two microscope rooms and a large common area for light microscopy and sample preparation. In one of the microscope rooms is a FEI Quanta 200 environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM) with a tungsten filament and EDAX Genesis energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometer 30mm2 detector with 132 eV resolution. The microscope has 4 nm spatial resolution and can detect characteristic X-rays down to and including beryllium, although sensitivity is limited for light elements. It can operate in the low vacuum range (10-3 to 0.8 Torr) and in environmental mode (0.1 to 40 Torr). In the environmental mode, it is possible to examine samples up to 100 percent relative humidity. Combining this with its other capabilities makes this a very versatile instrument. The EDAX Genesis software allows the user to collect spectra and elemental maps in both manual and automated modes. With this instrument, it is possible to view and perform X-ray analysis on nonconducting samples or “wet samples” without having to coat or dry.
The second microscope room features a JEOL JEM-2011 transmission electron microscope with LaB6 filament, Gatan GIF camera with 1.6 eV energy resolution, an EDAX XM 2 energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometer 30mm2 detector with 132 eV resolution, high angular angle dark-field (HAADF) detector, single, double tilt holders and cryo-transfer holder/stage. This instrument is capable of 2.4 Å point-to-point image resolution and 1.4 Å lattice fringe resolution. The Gatan GIF provides for the collection of electron-energy loss spectra and maps, in either nanoprobe (10 nm) or TEM mode. Electron energy-loss spectroscopy can be used for many purposes. It is very sensitive to light elements and complements another TEM technique (energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy) that is most commonly used for heavier elements. It also can be used to determine plasmon energy, band gap, coordination, oxidation state and many other material characteristics at a spatial resolution of about 10 nm in the nanoprobe mode. The cryo-transfer holder is used in low temperature (0oC – -196oC) microscopy and is very useful for reducing damage rates, minimizing carbon contamination in soft materials or viewing frozen hydrated biological samples.
We have purchased a PANalytical X’Pert PRO Theta/Theta Powder X-Ray Diffraction System with X’Celerator Detector and a 15-position sample changer for high speed, high resolution phase analysis and XML-based software for data collection and data evaluation. The XRD has a solid-state X-ray generator (max. 60 kV, 50 mA); sealed Co X-ray tube (long-fine focal spot); theta-theta goniometer (accuracy +/- 0.0025°, step resolution 0.0001°, 2-theta measuring range 0-167°, scan speed 0.001-1.3° per second); solar slits; incident and detector anti-scatter slits. Included is a temperature-controlled, inert gas sample chamber attachment with goniometer adapter, temperature controller and liquid N2 delivery system (Anton-Paar TTK450). This chamber attachment operates from –193°C (liquid N2) to +450°C, with the sample held in a vacuum, air or inert-gas environment. It will support current research related to environmental studies that involve air-sensitive samples and oxidation kinetics and allow for cooling and heating experiments to moderate temperatures, which will support current materials and chemistry work.
The facility has a small laser cutter for plastic and wood.
Transmission electron microscopy sample preparation methods available include a wide variety of different techniques including negative staining, shadowing (unidirectional and rotary), epoxy resin embedding and ultra-thin sectioning of embedded materials. A cryo-ultramicrotome is available for thin sectioning of frozen material. For scanning electron microscopy, air-, critical point- or freeze-drying and sputter coating, carbon coating and thermal evaporation are available. For harder samples, the facility has saws and polishers.

Last summer, researchers discovered a serious problem at the core of Android. There was a flaw in the way Android handled media, potentially allowing remote code execution before a malicious file had even been opened.
Android’s security team patched the initial bug within weeks, but it inspired a wave of new attacks on the way Android processes audio and video files. The first copycat bugs were reported just days after the first patch, with more serious exploits arriving months later. The most recent Android patch report, released today, patches three separate vulnerabilities in Android’s media-processing function, including one critical flaw that could be used for remote code execution.
A chance to rebuild the playback system from the ground up
Now, Android is rebuilding that system from the ground up. When Android 7.0 Nougat began rolling out to phones last month, it came with a rebuilt media playback system, specifically designed to protect against the Stagefright family of attacks. In a post today, Android’s security team revealed new details on exactly how Nougat security has changed and what the team learned from last year’s string of bugs.
The Stagefright attacks worked by targeting Android’s "mediaserver" system, a core function that apps call on whenever they need to render audio or video. If media is sent over MMS or Hangouts, that can happen before you see a notification, as applications grab data to generate a preview or preload portions of the file.
But there was a flaw in the way the old mediaserver would preload that data. When certain integer variables were large enough, they would overwrite data in other parts of the phone, giving attackers a crucial foothold for breaking out of mediaserver and onto the rest of the phone. By exploiting that overflow, attackers could execute code on an Android phone without waking it up. Android security has made a number of changes since the bug was discovered — most notably, limiting the circumstances under which Hangouts and other MMS applications will preload media — but it’s remained a tempting line of attack for anyone trying to crack an Android phone.
The Nougat update gave Google’s team the chance to rebuild that system from the ground up, tearing out the Stagefright flaws at the root. To start, the team reworked mediaserver to scan for integer overflow attacks up front, preventing the attack that’s at the heart of Stagefright. Nougat also makes it harder to successfully exploit the compromise by adding more entropy to the address randomization system, which some researchers were able to bypass in the wake of Stagefright.
The biggest challenge is still getting updates to your phone
More fundamentally, Nougat shifts mediaserver from a unified block into a series of segmented steps, each with its own process and its own limited permissions. The process that extracts a video buffer is now completely separate from the process that plays that file or the process that formats it to fit inside the app. Hopefully, that fragmentation will make mediaserver a less tempting target without slowing down your video file. "It’s definitely a tricky area," said Adrian Ludwig, head of Android’s security team. "You’re looking for very rapid media playback, but you want to have as robust an environment as you possibly can."
As always, Android’s biggest challenge is getting the latest updates to your phone, a process that requires help from both manufacturers and carriers. Some manufacturers have dropped support for Nougat on phones released as recently as 2014, raising serious concerns about how many Android users will actually benefit from the new protections.
Still, phones that upgrade should see a smoother update process both inside and outside the phone. Nougat’s Direct Boot system lets phones download and partially install updates without any user interaction. At the same time, Ludwig says he’s seen both manufacturers and carriers get much faster at approving and deploying the monthly patches. "One of our goals is to get to a place where updates are just invisible to users," Ludwig says. "That’s important because we want to have lots of updates." | [

The Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA) is at risk of missing provincial population targets, according to a recent report from the Residential and Civil Construction Alliance of Ontario. This deficit could result in 7,200 fewer new homes being built each year until 2041, which creates background for the recently introduced Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (LPAT).
The report, The GTHA’s Unbalanced Housing Stock: Benchmarking Ontario’s New LPAT System, says that up to 165,600 homes are at risk of not being built over the next 23 years. That could lead to an annual loss of $1.95 billion in GDP from residential construction activity if various barriers continue to block the goals set by the provincial growth plan, Places to Grow.
According to Paul Smetanin, president of the Canadian Centre for Economic Analysis (CANCEA), an important factor that will prevent the GTHA from hitting provincial home-building targets is the lack of medium-density housing starts, or the Missing Middle.
“Hamilton has made the most progress on the ‘Missing Middle’,” said Smetanin, in a press release. “Toronto, Mississauga, Markham, Newmarket less so, while Brampton is biased towards lower-density starts.”
Some issues plaguing the region’s most populated municipalities include:
- Fifteen per cent of GTHA residents live in medium-density housing, which leads to an inadequate supply of appropriate housing types for a variety of household sizes and budgets;
- Toronto’s number of annual housing starts is between five and 15 per cent higher than required to hit P2G targets, however the mix of housing is limited by land, which will result in the city’s supply highly favouring taller towers;
- York Region is the only region in the GTHA with current annual housing starts expected to meet its future target population;
- In municipalities with populations that top 80,000 residents, Oshawa, Brampton and Newmarket have the lowest share of higher-density starts;
- Municipalities can better optimize infrastructure investments by basing community growth planning on long-term and strategic analysis of future housing requirements.
“We commissioned the report because we wanted to find out what the possible impacts of LPAT will be on delivering housing,” added Andy Manahan, executive director of the Residential and Civil Construction Alliance of Ontario. “We will work with provincial and municipal government officials to help ensure that the transition to the new LPAT system is as seamless as possible and does not create negative consequences for the housing supply in the province.” | [

Brand Management Practices, Corporate Image, Customer Characteristics and Satisfaction among University Students in Kenya
The objective of the study was to determine the influence of brand management practices, corporate image, and customer characteristics on customer satisfaction among university students in Kenya. The study was founded on three theories namely: Customer based brand equity model, expectation confirmation theory and consumer utility theory. The study adopted descriptive research design, the target population comprised of students fromall 70 universities registered and accredited to operate in Kenya, with a population of 443,783 students enrolled for various undergraduate degree programmes from which a sample of 384 students was drawnstudent’s characteristics in public and private universities tend to differ significantly. The study used a multistage sampling procedure that involved two stages. The first stage was sampling 30% of the universities in each category using a simple random sampling method. The second stage used systematic random sampling, selecting every 5th student entering the main gate of the main campus of the selected university. Purposeful sampling was applied strategically to ensure equitable distribution of respondents based on gender, the program enrolled and the year of study. This helped reduce biasness and ensured fair representation. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistical analysis, correlation analysis and regression analysis. The study revealed there was a joint effect of brand management practices, customer characteristics and corporate image on customer satisfaction in university students in Kenya with R2=0.308; p-value= 0.000. Brand management practices were found to influence customer satisfaction more in the private individual owned and private institutional owned than in public universities, with R square of 0.149, 0.312 and 0.423 respectively. Similarly, corporate image was found to have a stronger moderation effect on the relationship between brand management practices and customer satisfaction in private institutional owned universities as compared to the private individual owned and public universities, with R2 of 0.671, 0.440 and 0.213 respectively. The study recommends that policy can be developed that encourages inculcating brand management practices within universities in Kenya. Policy can be developed to encourage measurement and reporting of performance along brand management practices as used in this study.

More than one million homeowners will see their mortgage payments jump by hundreds of pounds a year from today as lenders, including two state-backed banks, raise borrowing costs. Borrowers with other banks and building societies face similar increases in the months ahead, experts have warned, with the Eurozone crisis and lenders’ funding problems driving up the cost of home loans. The squeeze on family finances has raised fears of a new wave of home repossessions. From today, seven lenders including Halifax, Co-operative, Yorkshire and Natwest are increasing rates for existing customers by up to 0.5 percentage points, adding about £55 a month to a typical £200,000 mortgage, The Times reports.
Profits at Lloyds are forecast to fall 16% next year, while RBS’s earnings will drop 8%, as the banks face higher funding costs, as a result of their downgrades by Moody’s, according to Citigroup. Both banks have put in place major turnaround programs aimed at returning them to profitability. But Citigroup warned these plans could be disrupted by the downgrades, which could also upset plans to privatise the lenders. Lloyds, which is 41% owned by the state, is currently rated A1 by Moody’s but is expected to be downgraded by two notches to A3. Citigroup said the lender would as a result have to put up a further £24bn of assets against its secured borrowings, to compensate for the increase in its perceived riskiness, The Telegraph says.
Exporters are at risk of having their wings clipped as a stronger international appetite for sterling assets drives the pound to its highest levels in two and a half years. The pound rose yesterday to its highest value against a basket of currencies since August 2009 after the Swiss National Bank nearly doubled its nominal holdings of sterling assets in the first quarter of the year. Although the Swiss data were distorted by short-term swap arrangements, traders seized upon them as evidence that leading institutions were funnelling more cash into the pound and trimming euro holdings. A higher pound will make British exports more expensive and could dent government hopes for a “rebalancing” of the economy towards trade. If the gains are sustained, it could prompt the Bank of England to extend its £325bn quantitative easing scheme in the hope of capping sterling gains, analysts said, according to The Times.
China has announced plans to cut import tariffs just days before US Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner arrives in Beijng for the latest round of talks between the two superpowers. Duties will be reduced on an array of imports, including energy products and some consumer goods, China’s State Council said on Monday, without giving more details. The White House is pushing Beijing to cut tariffs and reverse a currency policy that many in the US believe hands Chinese manufacturers an unfair advantage. The State Council also ordered the country’s local governments to “appropriately enlarge” the import of consumer goods. Government departments and local administrations in China must “adjust their focus on encouraging exports and limiting imports and place equal emphasis on both”, the State Council said, according to The Telegraph.
The chairman of RSM Tenon stepped down yesterday, paving the way for a second boardroom reshuffle this year. Adrian Martin took control of the troubled accountancy firm in January after Tenon’s two top directors left abruptly amid mounting losses and questions about the company’s accounting. The former BDO managing partner was instrumental in securing Tenon’s short-term survival, bringing in Chris Merry to replace Andy Raynor as chief executive and helping to negotiate a crucial funding agreement with Lloyds Banking Group, which Tenon owes about £88m. But Mr Martin has also recently been inmvolved in an embarrassing dispute between Tenon and PwC, its auditor, over mistakes in its latest accounts, The Times explains.
Plans for a massive $6bn (£3.6bn) investment programme to develop a potash mining venture in North Yorkshire and create up to 1,100 jobs have been announced after studies showed the ambitious development was viable. Sirius Minerals, an Aim-listed business, is confident it can raise the money to finance what will be Britain’s biggest mining venture since the days of coal. Talks are under way to raise an initial $2.5bn to enable production to start in 2017 at the rate of 1.4m tonnes a year. Chris Fraser, chief executive, is seeking a mixture of debt and equity to help fund the development but is also considering bringing in potential customers and other potash producers, The Telegraph writes.
Sterling climbed to its highest level against the euro in almost two years on Monday as concerns grew in the financial markets about the deepening crisis in the single currency. A pound at one stage bought more than €1.23 on the foreign exchanges – making foreign holidays cheaper but UK exports to the single-currency zone more expensive. Fears that “a | [

My students have been learning about patterns this past week!
We talked about patterns around the room, patterns on the 120 chart, labeling patterns, and pattern units. It was A LOT of pattern talk.
I actually had never taught an explicit pattern lesson until this year, but these little ones needed it!
After we did plenty lessons making patterns with cubes and labeling them, my new first grade team showed me this fantastic book:
[Pattern Fish by Trudy Harris
On each page of this book, there are underwater creatures with all sorts of patterns on them for the students to find, identify and label (ABAB, AAB, ABC, etc.). At the end of the book, there are also plenty of extension activities for your students to continue practicing patterns!
When we finished reading the book, I gave each of my students 2 blank fish and they got to draw their own patterns on them. They cut them out and we added them to the top of our whiteboard:
bad lighting, but you get the idea^^
I don't have the fish template, since one of my teammates gave it to me, but I did a quick search and found the following options for you if you want your kids to complete this fun and easy activity:
Fish Pattern (1)
Fish Pattern (2)
Fish Pattern (3)
Tomorrow is Friday - YAHOO!
Oh... and in case anyone is counting... I am 15 days away from "I DO!"
:) :) :) :) :) :)

Every year around the beginning of December, a magical transformation begins in Promega offices in Madison and around the world. In Madison, even as our own Promega cookie elf is busily baking the last of her Holiday treats, employees are donning their own elf hats and bedecking our halls and cubes with their own form of Holiday magic.
Different teams put different spins on their decorating; from an all-out coordinated effort, to individualized decorations that reflect the personality of the decorator. It is fun to see how different areas get into the Holiday spirit.
Many departments or groups have their own holiday tree. Some of our web developers and designers put their own creative twist to decorating their “tree” using things they had at their desks. Our SAP group has a more traditional tree, with Jolly old St. Nick giving a welcoming glow. Our Technical Services Scientists tree is topped with a red and green elf hat (complete with ears).
Each year our Integrated Solutions group has a contest of some sort. This year they were given Styrofoam balls to use to create their Holiday decorations. The results were creative and varied.
Although the festive atmosphere is widespread throughout the company, rumor has it there is at least one or two “Grinches” among us.
No, we haven’t caught them stuffing any of the trees into bags. In fact we are certain that their hearts are already just the right size.
Two years ago we shared some of the many traditional celebrations enjoyed by Promega employees from around the world.
When asked about how they decorate their offices, Hans, the marketing manager from our Swedish Branch, offered this response:
“Currently we have barely 6 hours of day light in Stockholm – up north in Sweden it is dark almost 24 hours. Our Christmas celebrations are Christian celebration, Christmas also is a real fest of lights. Christmas in Swedish is Jul – referring to the old Yultide (Yule time celebrations).
We more than welcome the white snow as it lights up the dark December days. In the office we burn the fireplace and candles, and the rooms are decorated with Christmas ornaments.
The Christmas tree has “candles”, shiny glass balls and it is topped with a big star. All symbols to celebrate the upcoming winter solstice, as the Nordic people are longing for the return of the light. In some trees you find typical Swedish ornaments like the small Dala häst (Dalarna horse)
We count down to Christmas with our Advent calendar, every day a new window opens and gives us a small treat. Anyway, December is full of treats!
Every Advent Sunday we drink mulled wine with raisins and almonds, and decorate our windows with stars and lights. And we eat Julbord – a table full of homemade delicacies like pickled herring, salmon, ham, meatballs, etc. etc. etc. We eat cinnamon, Saffran and cardamom buns, tangerines, gingerbread cookies and marzipan stuffed pastry. December 13, the Nordic countries celebrate Lucia, who brings in a small parade the light into the darkness at 7 am. She wears a crown with candles on her head, and traditional Christmas songs are performed in schools, churches, hospitals, malls, etc. Saffron rolls are the treat of the day.”
For many of us, this season is about spending time with friends and family. It is a time for giving gifts and showing our love and appreciation to the people who matter most in our lives. We reflect back on the year past and to look forward to the coming New Year with hope and excitement. Our North American Branch has a wall inviting everyone to end the year on a positive note by sharing something good that is happening in their lives.
We hope that the season is happy, peaceful and enjoyable for everyone. Happy Holidays from all the Promega Bloggers, and we will see you in the New Year. | [

2004). These cells also express nestin, which is not expressed by stellate astrocytes but is found on the majority of neuronal progenitor cells in the adult brain (Mignone et al. 2004). After rodent SCI, injected radial glia can be neuroprotective and improve functional recovery (Hasegawa et al. 2005; Chang et al. 2009). Studies in optic nerve regeneration in young rats suggested that not only neonatal astrocytes but Inhibitors,research,lifescience,medical also astrocyte-like glia in older rats improve and support axonal regeneration (Dyson et al. 1988; Harvey and Tan 1992); however, the cellular process that guides this regeneration remains unclear. In addition,
neuronal stem cells expressing transcription factor, such as Sox2, are also Tubacin increased after SCI (Lee et al. 2012; Rodriguez-Jimnez et al. 2012). With the right factors, local and reactive astrocytes in the gray and white matter Inhibitors,research,lifescience,medical may be turned into radial glia or neuronal progenitors that better support neurogenesis and regeneration. The application of fibroblast growth factor (Fgf)2 has been shown to promote functional recovery after brain injury (Dietrich et al. 1996; McDermott et al.
1997), stroke (Kawamata et al. 1996, 1997), or SCI (Lee et al. 1999; Rabchevsky et al. 1999; Yan et al. 2000). Inhibitors,research,lifescience,medical In Inhibitors,research,lifescience,medical SCI the recovery is thought to be due to Fgf promoting neuronal survival (Teng et al. 1998, 1999), angiogenesis (Kang et al. 2013), and causing a reduction in injury volume (Lee et al. 1999; Rabchevsky et al. 1999). Several therapies that claim regenerative effects after transplanting specific cells also contain a cocktail of factors including Fgf1 and Fgf2 (Meijs et al. 2004; Kuo et al. 2011; Guzen et al. 2012; Lu et al. 2012), and thus, the proregenerative capacity attributed to transplanted cells
may in fact partially Inhibitors,research,lifescience,medical be due to the proregenerative effects of Fgf signaling. Furthermore, Fgf are currently in clinical trials in human patients with cervical SCI (Wu et al. 2008). Therefore, it is important to understand the cellular and molecular mechanism by which Fgf contributes to regeneration. We recently demonstrated that Fgf signaling plays a crucial Entinostat role in glial cell differentiation and morphogenesis that is required for regeneration after SCI in zebrafish (Goldshmit et al. 2012). After SCI in adult zebrafish, radial glia in the central canal form bridges to support axonal regeneration through the lesion. Moreover, we and others have demonstrated that in zebrafish radial glia at the injury site generate new neurons during regeneration (Reimer et al. 2008; Hui et al. 2010; Kroehne et al. 2011). | [

Sitting at a computer or watching tv for long periods of time can contribute to poor posture in your neck and upper back. More and more people are presenting with stooped, rounded shoulders and necks bent forward, often to better view tech devices like phones, tablets, and computers. This relatively new phenomenon is sometimes called “tech neck” or “text neck,” and is one of the main contributors of neck and back pain. This can lead to an imbalance in your neck and back muscles known as Upper Cross Syndrome. If you are experiencing neck and back pain due to poor posture, your Cedar Park chiropractor can help!
What Is Upper Cross Syndrome?
When muscles in your neck, shoulders, and upper back compensate for poor posture it can result in Upper Cross Syndrome. These muscles can become deformed and overactive as they work to support your body in this unhealthy posture where your head and neck are pushed forward and your shoulders are hunched over. This type of position is common if you are leaning over a computer, laptop, tablet, cell phone, or even the steering wheel. Upper Cross Syndrome is a postural imbalance where your neck, upper back, and shoulder muscles become tight and weakened, which causes forward head posture and rounded, hunched shoulders and upper back.
What Are the Symptoms of Upper Cross Syndrome?
There are several symptoms associated with Upper Cross Syndrome that a Cedar Park chiropractor can help with. You may experience pain in your neck, upper back, and shoulders. You may also experience headaches, jaw pain, and sore muscles. When your muscles that support proper posture weaken and tighten over time, it can make sitting for long periods uncomfortable. You may also notice difficulty turning your neck from side to side. While Upper Cross Syndrome affects your head, neck, and upper body, it can also cause symptoms of back pain. When your body overcompensates for poor posture, it can put excessive stress and strain on other parts of your body like your chest, ribs, and lower back.
What Causes Upper Cross Syndrome?
Upper Cross Syndrome is primarily caused by poor posture. When you sit hunched over or with your neck pushed forward for long periods of time, your muscles will eventually start to compensate for this posture. However, these are not natural, healthy postures for your body, so you will likely start to notice pain and discomfort over time. Upper Cross Syndrome is typically cyclical, where your poor posture can lead to your muscles becoming unbalanced, and then an imbalance in your muscles can contribute to poor posture. Prolonged periods of poor posture without corrective, counteractive postures will contribute to continued imbalances in the muscles that support your body.
How a Chiropractor Can Help
Cedar Park chiropractors study the spine and its effects on the rest of the body. A neutral spine and healthy posture are keys to reducing pain and discomfort in your daily life. When your head is pushed forward out of its neutral position you will begin to experience neck pain. Similarly, when you hunch your shoulders and upper back for long periods of time, this can lead to misalignments in your spine and continued poor posture. A chiropractor can help improve your posture to help reduce the amount of stress and strain on your spine and muscles due to this type of poor posture. Chiropractic adjustments can also resolve any misalignments in your spine and joints, which can help improve functioning and range of motion. Your Cedar Park chiropractor may also use therapeutic massage and stretches to help soothe tight, shortened muscles. When you are diagnosed with Upper Cross Syndrome, your chiropractor will use gentle and effective techniques to correct your posture and encourage your muscles to support a healthy spine.
Your chiropractor may also recommend at-home stretches and exercises to help increase range of motion in your neck and upper body. Stretches and exercises can help relax your tightened muscles and strengthen weakened muscles. When you know you will be working over a laptop or seated for a long period of time, take moments out of your day to remember to tuck your chin back toward your chest and pull your shoulders back and down. Stretching and strengthening the muscles that support proper posture can help prevent you from developing Upper Cross Syndrome again in the future. Visit your Cedar Park chiropractor at ProCare Medical Center to learn more about how Upper Cross Syndrome may be affecting you and experience the benefits of natural chiropractic care for neck and back pain. | [

Aviators have never been more at risk of a laser strike in the cockpit than they are today. According to data from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), in 2021 the number of reported laser incidents in the U.S. hit a 5-year peak of 9,723 cockpit strikes. [i]
DETERRENCE VS. DEFENSE
Deterrence and defense are the only two paradigms protecting aviators from cockpit laser strikes, and the data shows that deterrence doesn’t seem to be working all that well. Despite the FAA threatening civil and criminal penalties plus $11,000 fines for people that shine lasers at aircraft [ii], the number of incidents isn’t dropping. In fact, there’s reason to believe the amount of laser strikes is underreported because pilots don’t want to risk getting medically grounded as a safety precaution after reporting an in-flight laser incident.
The impact of a laser strike on the flight deck of any type of aircraft is the same. There’s the loss of situational awareness that comes from being startled, the loss of vision and the ability to see instrumentation that comes from the glare of the laser hitting the cockpit’s windshield, and of course, there’s the risk of temporary and permanent eye injury.
Despite the danger, aviators sometimes resist the need defend themselves with traditional laser eye protection (LEP) because it can reduce situational awareness in the cockpit. Since laser strikes are most prevalent upon take-off and landing, protective lenses meant to filter harmful wavelengths of light can also dim aviator vision and filter out cockpit displays during the most critical phases of flight
Above: Laser pointed at the underside of a helicopter.
THE CASE FOR AVIATOR-OPTIMIZED LEP
This points out two issues highlighting the need for aviator specific LEP. First, anything meant to filter out a laser light will also filter out any light that shares that same wavelength. Filtering a green or blue laser means filtering green and blue from cockpit displays as well. Second, laser strikes present the greatest risk to aviators in low light. So, wearing a set of LEP that’s as dark as a set of sunglasses in the cockpit at night is a no-go.
Current, ground-to-ground LEP is designed to block much brighter laser output than pilots see at altitude, making the lenses darker than they need to be. And, according to FAA’s 2021 data [i], the most prevalent wavelengths of lasers seen by pilots is green (87%) and violet-blue (9%), so filtering light in other wavelengths is just darkening the lens with little benefit to aviators.
There’s a third reason for aviator optimized LEP, headset compatibility. LEP for pilots must be easy to put on and take off for use in various phases of flight without getting caught up on headsets and helmets.
Looking at the current slate of LEP offerings, it’s easy to see the capability gap that needed to be filled. Researchers at the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) looked at the special demands faced by pilots and teamed up with Revision Military to make the next generation of aviation specific LEP. [iii]
They developed a new set of laser protective eyewear that addresses the need for laser protection in the cockpit without sacrificing aviator awareness, comfort, or convenience. The basis of the system is a lens formulation called CALI (Commercial Aviation Low Intensity) that filters the precise wavelength of light needed to block the most threatening lasers without blocking adjacent colored wavelengths, all while transmitting much more visible light than a traditional set of LEP. The result is comfortable LEP that doesn’t block or distort cockpit instrumentation and that works at night.
The CALI lens system was evaluated by Washington State Patrol pilots, and they found it met the needs of pilots. One of the aviators in the test group was Trooper Pilot/Tactical Flight Officer Camron Iverson.
Iverson says the aircraft he flies gets around 20 to 25 laser strikes a year and he’s experienced a laser strike from inside his police aircraft. “For about an hour I was having ‘white spot,’” he said. At night, the eye’s pupil is opened wide, making flash blindness greater and longer lasting.
Using the CALI lenses mitigates this threat. “I've been wearing them just about every flight that I go on, just in case,” said Iverson. “They're comfortable to wear and you don't really notice that they're on you. That's my experience.”
Revision’s CALI-C laser protective eyewear system uses the CALI lens, providing precision laser protection from common hand-held laser threats – green, blue-violet, and near-infrared – without washing out similar colors used on cockpit glass displays. It also transmits plenty of visible light, so aviators don’t feel | [

If you are a 90s kid (like me) then you’ll surely remember Evelyn from The Mummy film series. You would be surprised to know what she has been doing since then. Rachel Weisz who played Evelyn Carnahan in the first two parts of The Mummy Trilogy has worked in various other famous films including Constatine, The Deep Blue Sea, Disobedience, and Black Widow until now.
Rachel Weisz has always been mesmerizing us as both her beauty and acting are beyond exceptional. I clearly remember it was back in the 2000s when I saw her for the first time on the big screen. It was her film “The Mummy” that I watched and fell for her remarkable acting skills. Surprisingly, more than two decades have passed but she is still young, beautiful, and energetic. To be honest, I have watched her multiple times afterward but failed to recognize her as she has grown to be more charming. Rachel Weisz truly manifests timeless beauty with phenomenal acting skills.
Did you know that it was none other than Rachel Weisz who played Melina Vostokoff in The Black Widow? Oh yes, it was Rachel who played the adoptive mother of Natasha Romanova. Undoubtedly, Rachel pulled off the black widow’s role with absolute observance and her performance was very impressive. I am sure that you would also love her to watch in action as an integral part of MCU.
Let me reveal some more interesting facts about her. You would surely be amazed to know that once Rachel starred against Tom Hiddleston. Yes, our very own Loki worked with Rachel A.K.A Melina in the famous film, The Deep Blue Sea. Their acting was really phenomenal and everything including the film’s storyline was very captivating.
If you are wondering when will she appear on the big screen again then take into account that Rachel Weisz will star in Legendary’s Adaptation of Seance on a Wet Afternoon. This horror-thriller crime film is currently under production and will feature the story of a mentally unstable psychic who kidnaps a wealthy kid just to renown her extraordinary ability. | [

Katharina Grosse. It Wasn’t Us
A painting by Katharina Grosse can appear anywhere. Her large-scale works are multi-dimensional pictorial worlds in which splendid color sweeps across walls, ceilings, objects, and even entire buildings and landscapes. For the exhibition It Wasn’t Us the artist has transformed the Historic Hall of Hamburger Bahnhof – Museum für Gegenwart – Berlin as well as the outdoor space behind the building, into an expansive painting which radically destabilises the existing order of the museum architecture. The painting, which exists only for the duration of the exhibition, seamlessly connects the interior of the museum and the outdoor space and transforms the site into a new space of imagination and possibility.

|I have nothing but ugly volunteer plants growing in a ring around a Magnolia tree. I want to plant something colorful and organized, but am unsure how to permanently rid myself of the volunteer plants without harming the Magnolia. I've pulled the bedding plants by hand, but am sure roots remain and know, from experience, the pesky plants will be back. If I use Round Up (or something similar) will it hurt the tree or the flowers I will eventually plant?|
|Round-Up's main ingredient is called glyphosate, which is a systemic. This means when it is sprayed on a plant, the plant absorbs and distributes it throughout its system. Eventually, it kills the entire plant, including the roots. The spray can drift to other plants, particularly if there is any breeze. It's possible the magnolia roots can absorb some of it, also, although it is not supposed to last in the soil. If the volunteers are bedding plants, you should be able to eliminate by pulling. Soak the soil area slowly and deeply to make it easier to pull them out by the roots. They may also be coming back from seed; pull them as soon as possible before roots get established.
Another nontoxic way to get rid of them would be to apply a thick layer of mulch to preclude them from sprouting. I hope this info helps! | [

Torrisholme progress in cup but lose to Croston
Torrisholme lost a close-run game away at Croston on Saturday and then won convincingly at home the following day in the Meyler Cup against Rufford.
Saturday’s game saw Daniel Woods continue his fine form with the bat, top scoring with 44 and Iain Burstow the pick of the bowling with 4-40.
Croston batted first with overseas amateur Luke McQuade (52) and Stephen Langton (30) scoring quickly to take the score to 64-0 from 12 overs.
Burstow and Graham Lee (2-35) were brought into the attack and supported with some tidy fielding the experienced pair dragged Torrisholme back into the game.
Burstow claimed the first wicket of Langton, clean bowled, and then removed the dangerous Ian Dickinson (0) caught and bowled.
85-2 was soon 85-3 as Burstow made the pressure pay on young McQuade, trapping him LBW to see the balance start to swing in Torrisholme’s favour.
Croston skipper Lee Childs (4) then skied one off Burstow to be caught well by Lee before Lee got in on the act having Adam Sexton (0) caught smartly by Karl Hansson in the slips and the pressure was on Sam Marsh (51 not out) to hold the innings together.
Marsh did just that, despite losing brother Jack Marsh (0), run out by Joe Wills, and Jack Parsons (2) by the same combination, bowled Lee caught Hansson.
With the score 107-7 and rain in the air it was a great turn around by Torrisholme.
Jackson returned and cleaned up Tom Caunce (1) but Marsh controlled himself well to take the score to 137-8 before the rain came.
An early tea was taken and Torrisholme had to return to the field to bowl nine balls to complete the reduced first innings of 44 overs. Marsh tried to go big, and hit Woods for 13 in the last over to see the innings close on 151-9 after Chris Cannon secured a run out with the last ball of the innings.
Woods (44) and Chris Parry (19) began the Torrisholme chase, putting on a 50 partnership before Sam Marsh (5-38) took the wicket of Parry, who gloved a leg side ball to Sexton, who took a sharp catch.
Joe Wills (4) joined Woods, but didn’t really settle and fell caught behind to McQuade (2-43) with Torrisholme 78-2 at the half way point.
Andy Butler (10) supported Woods, but Marsh had the latter caught in the slips by Childs for another good knock of 44.
Burstow (5) and Hansson (6) didn’t really get going and it was left to Jack Heap (23no) and Chris Cannon (12) to accumulate runs to secure full batting points for Torrisholme, the pair taking the game into the last two overs with 20 needed for the win.
However, Cannon was run out and Jackson (1) was bowled by Marsh to leave Pye (2no) and Heap stranded 8 runs short.
Sunday’s Meyler Cup clash with Rufford was quite a one-sided affair, in what was a convincing win for Torrisholme.
Only Rob Kenny offered any real fight and his 47 came in 35 overs with Rufford never really attempting to post a total.
Ian Burstow (5-16) was far too good for the top order and opening the bowling with Jack Heap (3-36) Torrisholme were well on top having Rufford 45-6 in the 13th over.
Jon Iddon (26) showed brief spirit in a partnership with Kenny to take the score past 100 with James Ferguson (0-27) the bowler they targeted. Woods (0-22) ensured Rufford were only able to amass 120-9 from their 40 overs.
Ferguson (11) added impetus at the top of the order and Woods (44) scored freely to take the score to 30 before Ferguson was bowled by Richard Lyon (1-27).
Andy Butler (32 not out) was elevated to number three and worked the ball well with Woods to push the score past 80 before Woods fell bowled by Richard Brookfield (1-27).
Chris Parry (20 not out) joined Butler and after a settling in period, Parry hit four boundaries to win the game for Torrisholme inside the 22nd over. | [

A sudden wind gust appears to be the most likely culprit behind a Continental Airlines jet that on Dec. 20 veered off a runway during takeoff and ended in a non-fatal crash at Denver International Airport, according to people familiar with interviews of the plane's pilots by federal accident investigators.
While investigators haven't reached any definitive conclusions and continue to consider a wide range of potential causes, preliminary data from the plane's onboard recorders and interviews with the cockpit crew increasingly suggest the problem began when a strong crosswind pushed the twin-engine jet to the left of the runway's centerline, according to these people.
In the next few days, investigators hope to conduct their first thorough inspection of the nose gear and portions of the main landing gear, both of which are crumpled under the wreckage of the twin-engine Boeing 737. In addition to focusing on wind direction and speed, teams from the National Transportation Safety Board, Continental Airlines Inc. and manufacturer Boeing Co. also continue to delve into whether problems with brakes or landing gear may have played a role in the accident.
NTSB and Continental officials have declined to comment on the status of the probe.
The pilots of Flight 1404, according to these people, told investigators the acceleration for takeoff appeared to be routine with engines functioning as expected. But they said a crosswind gust – or perhaps some sort of icy patch on the runway – started pushing the plane left of the centerline of the strip and eventually caused an aborted takeoff. The twin-engine jet smashed across a taxiway, traveled nearly half a mile through a field and ended in a ravine with portions of its nose and main gear sheared off or badly damaged.
The runway was reported free of snow and ice at the time, and investigators haven't uncovered anything to back up the idea that an icy patch may have caused the plane to lose direction. Other planes left around the same time and didn't delay their takeoffs due to high winds, according to people familiar with the investigation.
Previously, safety board officials have said they didn't uncover any problems with the engines or the brakes, but they said an unusual rattling sound could be heard on the cockpit recorder shortly before the plane veered off the runway. Investigators haven't said what they suspect caused those sounds.

Botox is constructed from donated human plasma and will include viruses or other infectious agents. Donated plasma is analyzed and dealt with to scale back the risk of contamination, but there's nevertheless a little likelihood it could transmit disorder. Question your health practitioner about any attainable possibility.
It is not recognized irrespective of whether BOTOX® is Harmless or helpful to prevent problems in people with migraine who definitely have fourteen or much less headache times every month (episodic migraine).
Explain to your physician should you obtained almost every other botulinum toxin item in the final four months; have obtained injections of botulinum toxin for example Myobloc
You can also have flu-like indicators, headache, and upset belly. Injections during the facial area may also trigger short term drooping eyelids. You should not use Botox For anyone who is pregnant or breastfeeding.
Finally, encouraged by Daniel Drachman’s operate with chicks at Johns Hopkins,[forty five] Alan B Scott and colleagues injected botulinum toxin into monkey extraocular muscles.[forty six] The result was exceptional: a couple of picograms induced paralysis that was confined on the focus on muscle, prolonged in period, and without side-effects.
[citation desired] Toddler botulism conditions arise chiefly on account of environmental exposure and are consequently more challenging to forestall.[citation wanted] Infant botulism arising from consumption of honey is usually prevented by reducing honey from weight loss plans of kids under twelve months outdated. Organism and toxin susceptibilities
Regarding detection, present protocols applying NBC detection tools (such as M-8 paper or maybe the ICAM) will never indicate a "constructive" when samples made up of botulinum toxin are examined.[citation wanted] To confirm a prognosis of botulinum toxin poisoning, therapeutically or to deliver evidence in Loss of life investigations, botulinum toxin may be quantitated by immunoassay of human biological fluids; serum amounts of twelve–24 mouse LD50 units per milliliter are actually detected in poisoned individuals.
Khalaf Bushara and David Park were being the first to demonstrate a nonmuscular usage of BTX-Some time dealing with people with hemifacial spasm in England check out here in 1993, demonstrating that botulinum toxin injections inhibit sweating, and so are useful in dealing with hyperhidrosis (abnormal perspiring).
Get unexpected emergency professional medical aid When you've got signs of an allergic reaction to Botox: hives, itching; wheezing, challenging respiration; experience like you might pass out; swelling of your experience, lips, tongue, or throat.
In the United States, botulinum toxin goods are manufactured by several different firms, for both equally therapeutic and cosmetic use. A U.S. supplier reported in its company supplies in 2011 that it could "source the whole world's prerequisites for twenty five indications accredited by Federal government companies around the globe" with below one particular gram of raw botulinum toxin.
Bruising at the site of injection is not really a aspect impact from the toxin but fairly from the manner of administration, and is also noted as preventable When the clinician applies tension on the injection web site; when it takes place, it is actually documented in particular conditions to very last 7–eleven days.[citation essential] When injecting the masseter muscle on the jaw, loss of muscle mass function may lead to a loss or reduction of electric power to chew strong foods.
Botulinum toxin exerts its outcome by cleaving critical proteins necessary for nerve activation. Initial, the toxin binds specifically to nerves which utilize the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. When sure to the nerve terminal, the neuron normally takes up the toxin into a vesicle.
Botulism is usually tough to diagnose, as it may look comparable to conditions such as Guillain–Barré syndrome, myasthenia gravis, and stroke. Other assessments, like brain scan and spinal fluid examination, may well help to rule out other brings about. If the signs of botulism are diagnosed early, various treatment options is usually administered. In order to get rid of contaminated food items which continues to be in the gut, enemas or induced vomiting could possibly be made use of.
BTX-A has also been Utilized in the treatment of gummy smiles, the material is injected to the hyperactive muscles of upper lip, which will cause a discount in the upward motion of lip So causing a smile having a much less exposure of gingiva.
Using this medication far more often than prescribed will not likely ensure it is more practical and will end in severe side effects. | [

In displacement pumps, the pumped fluid is delivered through solid volumes and can not flow freely through the pump. Displacement pumps provide an approximately constant flow rate at fixed speed, even with changes in backpressure.
The difference in performance depending on which of these pumps you are dealing with, a small change in the pump’s counterpressure results in differences in the flow. The flow of a centrifugal pump will change considerably, the flow of a displacement pump will change a little or will hardly change at all.
The pumps are typically designed with the finest tolerances possible to obtain the highest possible efficiency and suction capability. However, in some cases, it is necessary to increase the tolerances, for example when the pumps have to handle highly viscous liquids, liquids containing particles and liquids of high temperature.
Positive displacement pumps are pulsate, meaning that their volume flow within a cycle is not constant.
The variation in flow and speed leads to pressure fluctuations due to resistance in the pipe system and in valves.
Typical displacement pumps are: | [

HALIFAX – Police are investigating an assault at a jail in Halifax after a 19-year-old inmate sustained life-threatening injuries Tuesday night.
The assault happened around 10:40 p.m. at the Central Nova Scotia Correctional Facility, where a man from Lower Sackville was taken to hospital by paramedics.
A 20-year-old man from Halifax was taken into custody, although there was no immediate word from police on potential charges.
Justice Department spokesman Andrew Preeper says there was a physical altercation between two inmates sharing the same cell.
He says the incident happened after evening lockdown and there is no indication a weapon was used, but that is part of the investigation by jail staff and police.
Preeper says corrections officials are conducting an internal review.
But Progressive Conservative justice critic Allan MacMaster wants more, calling for Justice Minister Lena Metlege Diab to order an independent review of the jail.
The member of the legislature for Inverness says the last two internal reviews on incidents at the jail in November and December produced one-page reports, and that’s not enough. | [

China’s exports experience initial rise in 7 months
(MENAFN) In a report released on Thursday, officials announced that Chinese exports experienced their initial rise in seven months during November. This growth comes as the nation continues to grapple with a challenging recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic.
However, it's important to note that this improvement is compared against a low baseline from the previous year, a time when authorities adhered to a zero-Covid policy that significantly impacted output and business activity. Additionally, a surprising decline in imports underscored sluggish consumer activity within the country.
The General Administration of Customs (GAC) stated that overseas shipments increased by 0.5 percent year-on-year, totaling USD291 billion, marking the first uptick since April. This figure notably surpassed analysts' expectations and followed a 6.4 percent decline observed in October.
“The improvement in exports is broadly in line with market expectation,” declared Zhiwei Zhang, leader and head financial expert at Pinpoint Asset Management.
Whereas exports were currently seeing “sequential growth”, he continued that “it is unclear if exports can contribute as a growth pillar into next year”.
“The European and US economies are cooling. China still needs to depend on domestic demand as the main driver for growth in 2024,” he informed a French news outlet in a letter.

After an overnight stay at the Royal Park Hotel THE Haneda, I took the easy walk back to the main concourse to check-in for my flight to Kuala Lumpur. The hotel lobby and the check-in desks can’t be more than 100 meters from each other, which makes it the most convenient airport hotel I’ve ever stayed at.
The international terminal isn’t too large so I just wandered until I came across Cathay Pacific’s station. Check-in was very quick. However, after seeing the incredibly long line for security, I did have to go back and ask them where the priority check point was located. Apparently the regular line had completely obscured the entrance. Once pointed in the right direction I was through in under five minutes.
Most of the airport lounges in Haneda are to the left of security and upstairs. JAL and Cathay Pacific both operate some excellent lounges here for oneworld Alliance customers, and I’ll review the JAL first class lounge on the return portion of this trip. However, note that Cathay Pacific’s lounge closes temporarily in the evening. It’s open from 7:30 to 17:00 and again from 22:00 to 1:30.
Cathay Pacific’s lounge is decorated in dark wood tones with brass accents and a few scattered plants. It’s a very classic look and reminds me of the Andaz Tokyo, where I stayed recently. The amount of contrast with the large windows made photography more difficult than usual.
The lounge was still quiet when I arrived at around 8:30 for my 10:35 flight. If I hadn’t already eaten breakfast I might have chosen to take a seat in the restaurant to the left, which had many generously sized booths and a few staff circling through to take orders. I really liked the stools along the kitchen, giving it the feel of an upscale diner.
There’s also a noodle bar in the center of the lounge. At that hour I chose to take a couple pastries that had been set out buffet style next to the bar. My wife will tell you I’m a pastry addict, and these were pretty good for lounge food.
Finally, to the far right of the lounge is a bar and cafe. You can choose to be as formal as you want — ask a waiter to get your drink for you, walk up and sit at the bar, or use the self-service refrigerators for soda and water. After getting a cappuccino with my pastry, I went back later for a glass of Japanese whisky to enjoy from my seat by the window.
We had some great views of airport operations, and I spotted ANA’s 787 in the R2D2 livery. However, the Cathay Pacific 747 I would be flying on was out of site, behind pier.
Depending on how much privacy you wanted, there were options to sit in the back of the lounge, near the food and drink but with some privacy dividers and dim light that would make it easier to take a nap. I opted for one of the comfortable chairs along the window — each with its own lamp and table (with hidden electrical outlets). A wide range of seating options were available. Not just chairs but also sofas for group conversation and some tall stone tables for up-right dining by the noodle bar.
Finally, here’s a blurry shot of the business center. There were several large iMac computers with dual boot enabled, individual printers, and individual task lighting.
I realize this is just a business class lounge, but the quality of its design and the number of amenities put it on par with many first class lounges. I’d argue it’s the best business class lounge I’ve ever visited. Along with the proximity of Haneda to central Tokyo, this lounge would be a compelling reason for me to choose Haneda for future travel through Asia.
Fortunately many airlines are petitioning to add new flights from the U.S. to Haneda and also trying to get them scheduled at more convenient times. This irritates carriers like Delta, which has made connecting traffic in Narita a major part of its Asia strategy. But I have yet to find anything about Narita I actually like besides the more frequent schedule. | [

How will u define a Dam?
Dam Definition: Dam is a barrier built across a river or sea which is high enough to stop the water flowing over it...
Dam is a barrier built across a river or sea which is high enough to stop the water flowing over it.
In a river dam, the water which is held back forms a reservoir.
Fresh water from this can be sent through pipes to homes for drinking and washing, or used to water crops. The water can also be used for hydroelectric power schemes.
Today, artificial dams are made of rock and clay or concrete. Dams have been built for more than 5000 years.
The highest dam is the Rogunsky dam in Russia, which is 325 m (1066ft) high. The largest concrete dam is the Grand Coulee Dam across the Columbia River in the U.S.A. It is 167 m (550ft) high and 1272 m (4140 ft) long.

The redevelopment of Anchor Centre includes the complete transformation of the entry and plaza area. The previous site was constrained by a 100-year retention basin preventing access to the north plaza. The scope of work includes the demolition of the existing plaza, installing a new waterproof membrane and adding a new entry and parking area providing access to Camelback Road. 7,500 cubic feet of underground retention was incorporated to address floodplain requirements and accommodate the new improvements. The project features a large trellis courtyard with water feature for outdoor seating and lush low water landscaping to reduce consumption.

IMHO, the answers are yes and yes.
However, breastfeeding is a very personal decision between you and your baby.
The wonders of breastfeeding:
Breastmilk is the perfect food for infants. It is made especially to fit THEIR nutritional needs, and contains antibodies and compounds that formula does not. No formula will ever be even close to as perfect for your child as breastmilk is, and breastmilk is free!
Breastfeeding causes the uterus to contract and return to its normal state after childbirth, so the recovery period is shorter. Women who breastfeed also often times do not for a few months after the baby is born. Breastfeeding also helps bond mother to baby. That is not to say that women who bottlefeed do not bond with their babies; however, the bonding process can go smoother if breastfeeding is involved.
Colostrum produced the first short while after birth helps boost newborns' immune systems.
My suggestion to you is this: Educate yourself about breastfeeding, and give it a try. You can get scores of wonderful information and support from La Leche League http://www.lalecheleague.org and Bestfed http://www.bestfed.com | [

A new species of razor wrasse fish has been discovered by scientists in the Philippines, but its first sighting was not in the ocean, but in a public market in Bohol⁴. The fish, which has been named Cirrhilabrus marinda, or the Marinda fairy wrasse, was initially bought by a local fisherman who noticed its unusual appearance and colors.
The fisherman contacted Dr. Mark Erdmann, a marine biologist and vice president of Conservation International’s Asia-Pacific marine programs, who was visiting Bohol at the time. Erdmann recognized the fish as a potential new species and contacted his colleague Dr. Luiz Rocha, a curator of ichthyology at the California Academy of Sciences.
Rocha and his team traveled to Bohol to collect more specimens of the fish from the fisherman’s supplier, who caught them from deep reefs at around 60 meters (197 feet) depth. They also conducted underwater surveys using rebreathers, which allow divers to explore deeper and longer than conventional scuba gear.
The researchers confirmed that the fish was indeed a new species, and described it in a paper published in the Journal of the Ocean Science Foundation. They named it after Marinda Garden, a resort in Bohol where they stayed during their expedition.
The Marinda fairy wrasse is a small fish, measuring about 5 centimeters (2 inches) long, with a slender body and a pointed snout. It has a striking color pattern, with a bright yellow head, a pinkish-orange body, and a blue tail. The males have a distinctive black spot on their dorsal fin.
The fish belongs to the genus Cirrhilabrus, which comprises more than 60 species of fairy wrasses that are widely distributed in tropical and subtropical waters of the Indo-Pacific region. Fairy wrasses are known for their vibrant colors and complex social behaviors.
The Marinda fairy wrasse is the second new species of fairy wrasse discovered by Rocha and his team in recent years. In 2022, they described the rose-veiled fairy wrasse (Cirrhilabrus finifenmaa), which they found in the Maldives⁵. Rocha said he was fascinated by the diversity and beauty of these fish, and hoped that their discovery would raise awareness and appreciation for the deep coral reefs that harbor them.
\”These reefs are home to many amazing creatures that we are only beginning to understand,\” Rocha said in a statement. \”They are also under threat from climate change, overfishing, and pollution, so we need to protect them before we lose them.\” | [

This system is comprised of water pre-treatment system, microporous membrane filter, reverse osmosis system, ozone generator, and ultraviolet sterilizer and centrifugal pump.
The pre-treatment system which concludes sand filter, activated carbon filter, and sodium ion filter can get rid of large particle impurities and suspended solids, improve flow rate of the water as well as remove the off-flavors of the raw water effectively and the remaining chlorine.
Sales manager: Sally
The RO system uses the high efficient and low pressure composite membrane, therefore the desalination rate has been increased to 99%. After filtration, the water will achieve the standards of drinking. | [

What do you get for the King who has everything? Well, you make him something he doesn’t have! That’s exactly how Crown Royal came about. When King George VI became the first reigning British monarch to visit Canada in 1939, one local whisky lover decided to blend a special whisky just for them to commemorate the trip. George was clearly a big fan since he packed 10 whole crates of the stuff onto this train when he headed back home. To find the perfect blend, 600 different whiskies were sampled until the perfect mix was found. What resulted was a blend of 50 whiskies with the very appropriate name Crown Royal. This whisky fit for a king was released in the USA in the 1960s and with its signature decanter design bottle and royal purple cover it quickly became the number 1 selling brand of Canadian whisky in the US. Distilled back in 1979, this Crown Royal Fine De Luxe 1979 is whisky fit for a king. | [

|Title:||Arc-Induced Long Period Fiber Gratings|
|Abstract:||Long period fiber gratings produced by the electric arc technique have found an increasing interest by the scientific community due to their ease to fabricate, virtually enabling the inscription in any kind of fiber, low cost, and flexibility. In 2005 we have presented the first review on this subject. Since then, important achievements have been reached such as the identification of the mechanisms responsible for gratings formation, the type of symmetry, the conditions to increase fabrication reproducibility, and their inscription in the turning points with grating periods below 200 mu m. Several interesting applications in the sensing area, including those sensors working in reflection, have been demonstrated and others are expected, namely, related to the monitoring of extreme temperatures, cryogenic and high temperatures, and high sensitivity refractometric sensors resulting from combining arc-induced gratings in the turning points and the deposition of thin films in the transition region. Therefore, due to its pertinence, in this paper we review the main achievements obtained concerning arc-induced long period fiber gratings, with special focus on the past ten years.|
