Light emission through a corrugated metal film: The role of cross-coupled surface plasmon polaritons
Hooper, Ian R.
Barnes, William L.
University of Exeter; QinetiQ, Malvern
Physical Review B
American Physical Society
We examine the phenomenon of light emission through a thin metal film that takes place via surface plasmon polaritons. Surface plasmon polariton cross coupling has recently been invoked to explain sharp features observed in the angle dependent emission spectra obtained from surface-emitting (through cathode) organic light-emitting diode structures. We investigated whether such a cross-coupling process is needed to explain such observations. We undertook measurements on samples for a variety of metal film thicknesses. Our results are consistent with the mechanism of surface plasmon polariton cross coupling but also show that the processes underlying the emission from such structures can be rather subtle.

5/11/2011: Update 2:30 p.m.: Robber strikes Merchants Bank in HamptonMerchants Bank of Hampton was robbed at gunpoint early this morning when a suspect entered the bank displaying a handgun and demanded money from an employee.
Merchants Bank of Hampton was robbed at gunpoint early this morning when a suspect entered the bank displaying a handgun and demanded money from an employee.
The robbery of the former Hampton State Bank occurred at approximately 9:45 a.m., according to Mark Metzler, the media and communications officer for Merchants Bank.
"We are thankful that our staff on duty at the time were uninjured. We are cooperating fully with the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Dakota County law enforcement officials in their investigation and ask that any other questions be referred to them," he said in an email at 12:30 p.m.
The suspect - who was described as a white male wearing a ski mask, blue jeans and a blue windbreaker - first fled the bank on foot, and is believed to have then left the area in a white mid-size Chrysler car, according to the sheriff's department.
Dakota County deputies are looking for the suspect.
"The Hampton location will remain closed the remainder of today," Metzler said.
Merchants Bank, based out of Winona, Minn., has banks in 14 communities, including Red Wing and Cannon Falls. | [

Floating barges equipped with advanced nuclear reactors could start to power developing nations in the mid-2020s, according to a Danish start-up.
Seaborg Technologies believes it can make cheap nuclear electricity a viable alternative to fossil fuels across the developing world as early as 2025.
Its seaborne “mini-nuclear bombs” have been designed for countries that lack the power grid infrastructure to develop utility-scale renewable energy projects, many of which continue to use gas, diesel and coal plants in its place.
The ships are equipped with one or more small nuclear reactors, which can generate electricity and transmit the energy to the mainland. The world’s first floating nuclear reactor began supplying heat and electricity to the Russian port of Pevek in the East Siberian Sea in December 2019.
Troels Schönfeldt, Seaborg’s chief executive, said the company’s compact 100-megawatt molten salt reactor would take two years to build and would generate electricity that would be cheaper than coal-fired power.
Seaborg has raised around € 20 million (£ 18.3 million) from private investors, including Danish retail billionaire Anders Holch Povlsen, and received the first of the necessary regulatory approvals within a four-phase process from the American Bureau of Shipping. this week.
Most developing countries have not been able to pursue nuclear energy because it requires a carefully managed regulatory regime to prevent nuclear accidents or the proliferation of materials that could be used to create nuclear weapons.
Seaborg expects to begin receiving orders by the end of 2022 for the nuclear barges, which would be built in South Korea’s shipyards and towed ashore where they could be anchored for up to 24 years, he said.
The “turnkey solution” is important for fast-growing developing economies to power infant industries, purify drinking water and produce clean-burning hydrogen as demand for energy access soars in the coming years.
“The scale of the growth in energy demand in the developing world is staggering,” said Schönfeldt. “If we cannot find an energy solution for these countries, they will turn to fossil fuels and we will surely not meet our climate goals.”
The International Energy Agency has found that the growing demand for electricity, due to the growth of the world’s population and rising levels of wealth, is ongoing. to overcome the growth of renewable energies and increasing dependence on fossil fuels.
Although nuclear power has been used aboard maritime vessels for decades to power submarines and “icebreaker” tankers, Seaborg’s design would be one of the earliest examples of a commercially available nuclear barge used to supply electricity to the continent.
Chris Gadomski, nuclear analyst at Bloomberg New Energy Finance, said: “The concept of a floating nuclear power plant has been around for a long time and it makes perfect sense. But there are concerns. ”There was an inherent risk related to nuclear reactor technologies and floating power plants, so combining two could raise serious questions for investors and governments, he said.
“In places like the Philippines and Indonesia it makes perfect sense. But it wasn’t so long ago that the Philippines was the site of a great tsunami, and I don’t know how to protect myself against such a risk, ”he added.
Greenpeace’s Jan Haverkamp said the floating reactors were “a recipe for disaster”, including “all the flaws and risks of large land-based nuclear power plants.” “In addition to that, they face additional risks from the unpredictability of operation in coastal areas and transportation, particularly in a loaded state, on the high seas. Think of storms, think of tsunamis, ”he said.
Schönfeldt said the advanced reactor was designed to be as safe as possible in the worst-case scenario of an accident, with a system that causes radioactive material to form a solid rock outside the reactor core so that it cannot disperse in air or the sea in a catastrophic way. noxious gas or liquid.

Setting up a git repository
- Create a new git repository
2. Creating a bare repository
git init –bare <directoryName>
A bare repo is an empty repo which does not have a working copy. Bare repositories are used as central repositories since it cannot be overridden itself because there is no working copy. Non bare repos are used for developments and bare repos are used as storages.
Use case: A team of developers can work by creating working copies using git init. Once the work is done, a bare repo can be created in a central location and everybody can push their changes to the bare repo.
3. Cloning a project
git clone <repo>
git clone <repo> <directory>
4. Repo-To-Repo Collaboration
Unlike SVN git does not have a difference in a central repo and a client repo. Any two repos can communicate to each other.
5. Set configurations for a git Repo
git config –global –user.name <pathmasri>
git config –global user.email <email>
git config –global alias.<alias-name> <git-command>
git config –system core.editor <editor>
git config –global –edit
1. Adding files to staging area
git add <fileName>
2.Adding folders to staging area
git add <folderName>
3. Interactive adding
git add -p
4. Commiting the code
git commit -m <commit message>
git commit -a
This will directly commit all changes if the modified files are tracked using git add, at least once at some point of their history.
Inspecting a repository
1. List which files are staged and unstated,untracked
2. To ignore files committing you need to add them in.gitignore file.
– You can keep your.gitignore file globally or inside the project root folder or inside any folder in the project.
–.gitignore file should also be commited to the project
3. Displaying the committed snap shots
git log -n <number of commits>
git log -n 3
git log –oneline
shows the commit only a single line
git log –stat
shows the changed files in each commit
git log -p
shows the most detailed description about each commit
git log <since>..<when>
Parameters can be a branch or a commit id or any other reference
git log <file>
changes done to file
git log –author=”John Smith” -p hello.py
git log –oneline master..some-feature
Viewing old commits
1. Git checkout
Three things can be checked out => commits,files,branches
– git checkout master
– git checkout <commit> <file>
At this stage, you can commit the file with current state. git status will show you the change of the file.
– git checkout <commit>
This will lead to a detached Head state. No changes can be done and committed at this stage.
2. Detached HEAD – Head usually points a branch. When you check out an old commit, HEAD will not longer point to a branch. This state is called a detached head state.
1. Reverting changes
git revert <commitid>
This will revert the particular commit and new commit id will be generated for the new commit
2. Resetting Changes
git reset – This is a permanent undo
git reset <file> – Remove the specified file from staging area. Nothing will be overwritten
git reset – Unstaging all the changes. Working copy will not be overwritten
git reset –hard – Unstage all changes and overwrite the working copy to match with the last commit
git reset <commit>
Move the current branch tip backward to <commit>, reset the staging area to match, but leave the working directory alone. All changes made since <commit> will reside in the working directory, which lets you re-commit the project history using cleaner, more atomic snapshots.
git reset <commit> –hard
Move the current branch tip backward to <commit> and reset both the staging area and the working directory to match. This obliterates not only the uncommitted changes, but all commits after <commit>, as well.
3. Clean command
git clean -n
This is a dry run. Command will show you the files which are going to get deleted.
git clean -f
Clean all untracked files excluding the igonored file using.gitignore
git clean -f <path>
Cleann all the untracked files in a specified path
git clean -df
Clean all the files and directories
git clean -xf
Clean all files including the files ignored files.
Re-writing the history
git commit –amend
This will allow to combine the staged | [

Last week we met with the guys from Owlchemy Labs who are responsible for the highly controversial physics game Smuggle Truck. We've already posted about the controversy as well as the playable web demo, but this was the first time we actually saw it running on an iOS device.
Check out the game running on an iPad:
Owlchemy Labs plans on submitting Smuggle Truck to Apple for approval sometime around the 15th. They're using Unity for the game engine, which is allowing them to have a surprising amount of cross-platform compatibility. Once its all said and done, levels created in the level editor seen in the video will be playable across all platforms. What platforms are those? Well, Owlchemy is planning a release on the iPad, iPhone, Mac, PC, and potentially even distributing the game via Steam.
I can't wait. | [

Paradise lost: Persia from above
In 1976 and 1978, aerial photographer Georg Gerster had the rare opportunity to record the landscape of Iran on over 100 flights and 300 flying hours. This unique photographic project resulted in a near complete documentation of the major archaeological sites and important landscapes in the region. The book includes spectacular images of ancient citadels, desert ruins and rice fields spreading like a vast patchwork in a river delta, along with many unexpected sights, such as the bird's eye view of a crowded ski resort in the Elburz mountains, within easy reach of Tehran. Persia's densely packed cities like Bushehr on the Persian Gulf, are elegantly captured by Gerster and look so very different from Western European or North American cities of the same period.Persia's complex, interlocking flat-roofed buildings are both timeless and timely, with architecture that has stood unchaged for thousands of years, along with brightly-coloured 1970s cars parked in the colonnaded courtyards. Even the Persian landscape contains surprises: on closer inspection, the elaborate patterns made in fields with tractors and ploughs turn out to have more to do with politics than agriculture or land art - a law at the time allowed people to claim unused land by planting crops on it, and this type of 'agridoodle' was apparently enough to support such a claim.Persia is the anchient name of the region we now know as Iran. We still reference the country's long and rich cultural heritage when we speak of Persian carpets and Persian miniatures, of Persian language, history and literature. In her introduction to this book, Iranian-born writer Maryam Sachs lists some words borrowed from Persian by English speakers, which include azure, bazaar, gazelle, magic, musk, tapestry, scarlet, narcissus and paradise. These words offer insight into the country's landscape, inhabitants and traditions - influences that have indirectly shaped its landscape.

Hypoallergenic Sunscreens and Sun Protection
Sun Protection Products and Kits
Sunscreen, called sunblock in the past, is a necessary part of your skin care routine.
Did you know that if you are not using the best broad spectrum sun protection products, then you may be doing more harm than good to your skin when you apply sunscreen?
Believe it or not, it's true. Yes, your sunscreen may be allowing more UVA damage to happen to your skin than if you used no sunscreen at all! This is because your sunscreen may be letting you stay in the sun longer because it's preventing sunburn with a high SPF. Since you're not getting sunburned, you stay out in the sun longer and get more UVA exposure than if you actually felt the sunburn and got out of the sun! My sunscreen products are designed to reduce harmful UVA as well as UVB rays.
My sunscreens offer the best dermatologist recommended sunscreen products for any type of skin, with SPF factors from 30 to 50+. All of my sunscreens are mineral zinc oxide products appropriate for sensitive skin.
Only the best sunscreens do a good job protecting your skin from the harmful UVA rays, as well as n the UVB rays that cause sunburn. Unfortunately, choosing the best sun protection products is really confusing. There are thousands of products on the market, all claiming broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection, but many fail to do a good job blocking the UVA range of harmful rays. Others break down quickly as UV rays hit the sunscreen layered on your skin. This means you run out of protection. This is why you sunburn even when you’ve applied sunscreen.
It takes a dermatologist or sunscreen formulation chemist to really know if a sunscreen provides the best and most complete sun protection possible. I make that my business and recommend only the best products to my patients, my family, and customers like you. I only trust zinc oxide products, and that's what I recommend. It’s also what I’ve used every day on my own fair skin.
My sun protection products include only the best sunscreen (sunblock) ingredients for all your skin, including your lips. You need sunscreen for daily wear, water resistant products for wet and sweaty times in the sun, and a range of products to fit everyone’s skin type. Whether you want an oil free sunscreen, a natural sunscreen, reef safe sunscreens or a range of sunscreens, I’ve got "em because I want you to love your sunscreen! Plus, you can even save money by making your own sun protective clothing with Sun Guard.
Here is my proven dermatologist's sun protection strategy.
First, cover as much of your skin as you can with sun protective clothing. You can make your own sun protective clothing with Sun Guard.
Then, for the skin you can't cover, ASK yourself how well your exposed skin is protected:
A: Apply broad spectrum mineral zinc oxide SPF 30+ sunscreen on all of your exposed skin. Reapply your sunscreen as recommended when you are in the sun. That means every 2 hours and after sweating, swimming or rubbing your sunscreen off of your skin. Don’t forget lips and scalp!
S: Seek the shade or create it! Wear a proper sun hat to protect the top of your scalp and to create shade for your face, ears and neck. Use a UPF 50 umbrella to create portable shade (it's cooler under an umbrella too - so see how many friends you make!). Wear UV blocking glasses to protect your eyes, and seek out the shady places when possible.
K: Know your UV exposure risk by understanding the UV ray intensity where you are. UV rays bounce off things like sand, cement, buildings (yep). They are harmful in morning and evening. The rays are most intense around the equator and during the middle of the day in the summer. Use the Detecto Ring to test your knowledge and learn those surprising places where you think you are safe, but you’re exposed (i.e. some windows, some shade etc.)
See my Dr. Bailey’s Sunscreen Comparison Chart to pick the sunscreens that meet your needs.
What is the best hypoallergenic sun protection for sensitive skin?
To protect the skin that you can’t cover with sun protective clothing, apply an SPF 30+ broad spectrum zinc oxide product.
I know that sun protection is really important for your skin so I give you complete, 'turn-key' sun protection - and I've thought of everything for you.

One gulp of clean salty air, and I stand lured by a roar of the sea, by no means planning to plunge. Simply a means by which to restore.
As I exhale slowly being surrounded by the sea, my heart stirs. While soul searching and rescuing, my mind spews, as I relinquish the control, I impart.
Setting my turmoil free, no longer ignoring the essence of me. The deep-sea rumbles, once more reminding me I cannot force things to be, allowing my instincts and natural elements, to guide me.
It is here I observe the slow and steady rhythm of life. Each step I realize my stride increasing resembling the pace of a sandpiper fixed on finding the reward beneath a sandy shoreline.
As the sea foam skitters across the sand I too, dance.
As the sand dollar appears mysteriously on the shore, I too, resurface.
As the castle like structure of wet sand is stately. I too, stand grand.
Her waves of truth are a form of therapy, self-discovery in my sea sanctuary, compassion in the currents of my life and patient with who I continue to become.
Determined not to sink while sculpting my selfhood, to feel underwhelmed is good, to not be burdened by my mind is better. A safe harbor for an unfinished self to settle.
A joyful journey only accessible on my own, the sea cures me, an oasis offering endless possibilities, a continual surfacing and submerging to the ever-changing me.

When you have dogs in need of adoption, featuring them in an "Uptown Funk" parody will certainly get them attention!
If you've listened to the radio at all during the past year or so, then chances are you've heard the song, "Uptown Funk," by Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars. The catchy tune easily gets stuck in your head, and will have you dancing within seconds. When staff at the East Bay SPCA in Oakland, California realized that the tune could be renamed "Oaktown Pup," the parody was born.
Some cleverly rewritten lyrics, fun costumes, and adorable dogs all contributed to this lighthearted music video. Best of all, all of the dogs featured in the video were available for adoption, and every single one of them has since been adopted.
This fun music video served a great purpose and gained plenty of attention for rescue dogs in need of adoption.
Wondering how you can help dogs in need of homes? Though the dogs in this video have homes of their own now, there are plenty more dogs living in shelters today. If you're able and ready to do so, adopting a dog is a great way to help out a dog in need.
And if you're not able to adopt right now, then there are still ways you can help. Consider volunteering for your local animal shelter, or donating supplies the shelter needs, like food or towels.
There's another way that you can help, too - spay or neuter your dog. We have a major pet overpopulation issue, and spaying or neutering your pet can help to prevent additional puppies from being born. If cost is a concern, then contact your local rescue - they may be able to tell you if there are any upcoming low-cost spay or neuter clinics in your area.
Can't get enough of "Uptown Pup"? Neither can we - and it's going to be stuck in our heads all day long. | [

A shunt regulator is an electrical device used in motion control systems to regulate the voltage level of the DC bus supply to protect the amplifier, motor, and other components in the system from an over-voltage condition. The bus voltage level can increase if excess energy flows back through the system and charges the capacitor in the power supply above its normal energy level. The shunt regulator operates by sensing the voltage level of the supply, and in the event the voltage level rises above a pre-set threshold, the shunt regulator switches on a resistor to ground that dissipates (as heat) any excess energy that is present in the system. Once the voltage level drops below the threshold (usually a few volts lower than the “on” level), the shunt regulator opens the resistor circuit and operation continues as normal.
For applications requiring a shunt regulator, Galil offers several models that can be configured for varying voltage levels. Three fixed voltage threshold settings are available which are set at either 33, 66, or 90 volts. | [

Las Vegas, Jan. 4, 2017 – BMW Group, Intel and Mobileye today announced that a fleet of approximately 40 autonomous BMW vehicles will be on the roads by the second half of 2017, demonstrating the significant advancements made by the three companies towards fully autonomous driving. Revealing this at a podium discussion held during a joint press conference at CES, the companies further explained that the BMW 7 Series will employ cutting-edge Intel and Mobileye technologies during global trials starting in the U.S. and Europe.
This news follows the partnership that was announced between the BMW Group, Intel and Mobileye in July of last year. The companies have since developed a scalable architecture that can be adopted by other automotive developers and carmakers to pursue state of the art designs and create differentiated brands. The offerings scale from individual key integrated modules to a complete end-to-end solution providing a wide range of differentiated consumer experiences.
"Making autonomous driving a reality for our customers is the shared ambition behind our cooperation with Intel and Mobileye. This partnership has all of the skills and talent necessary to overcome the enormous technological challenges ahead and commercialize self-driving vehicles. Therefore, we are already thinking in terms of scalability and welcome other companies – manufacturers, suppliers or technology companies – to participate and contribute to our autonomous platform. This year our fleet of vehicles will already test this joint technology globally under real traffic conditions. This is a significant step towards the introduction of the BMW iNEXT in 2021, which will be the BMW Group’s first fully autonomous vehicle,” stated Klaus Fröhlich, Member of the Board of Management of BMW AG for Development.
“From an industry perspective, we are already seeing savings and speed in development by sharing development costs and in pooling resources to develop a complete autonomous platform. The car to cloud system will perform with consistent, predictable behavior and is validated to the highest level of safety,” said Intel CEO Brian Krzanich. “That’s why this partnership is breaking new ground. We have established a dedicated team with clear, shared goals and a culture of innovation and agility and accountability.”
“Over the last six months, we have made very good progress in designing a state-of-the-art solution for autonomous driving on both highways and in urban areas. The solution has been defined in a scalable manner to allow affiliate automakers to meet their unique needs,” said Mobileye Co-Founder, Chairman and CTO Professor Amnon Shashua.
As part of this partnership, the BMW Group will be responsible for driving control and dynamics, evaluation of overall functional safety including setting up a high performance simulation engine, overall component integration, production of prototypes and eventually scaling the platform via deployment partners.
Intel brings to the partnership innovative high performance computing elements that span from the vehicle to the data center. The newly launched Intel® GO™ solution for autonomous driving offers world class processor and FPGA technologies for the most efficient balance of performance and power, while meeting the stringent thermal and safety requirements of the automotive industry. Within the car, the Intel GO solution offers a scalable development and compute platform for critical functions including sensor fusion, driving policy, environment modeling, path planning and decision making. In the data center, Intel GO offers a wide range of technologies ranging from the high performance Intel® Xeon® processors, to Intel® Arria® 10 FPGAs and Intel® Solid State Drives to the Intel® Nervana™ platform for artificial intelligence that provides a powerful machine and deep learning training and simulation infrastructure required for the autonomous driving industry.
Mobileye contributes its proprietary EyeQ®5 high-performance computer vision processor offering automotive-grade functional safety and low-power performance. The EyeQ®5 is responsible for processing and interpretation of input from the 360-degree surround view vision sensors as well as localization. EyeQ®5, in combination with Intel CPU and FPGA technologies, which forms the Central Computing Platform to be integrated into each autonomous vehicle.
Mobileye will further collaborate with the BMW Group to develop the sensor fusion solution, creating a full model of the environment surrounding the vehicle, using input from vision, radar, and lidar sensors. As well as establishing a driving policy, including Mobileye’s reinforcement learning algorithms used to endow the vehicle system with the artificial intelligence required to safely negotiate complex driving situations.
To further propel the development of the autonomous platform, the partnership plans to release hardware samples and software updates in the upcoming years. The | [

Kuwait Energy may be on the brink of reviving its bid to list on the London Stock Exchange by merging with UK-based oil company Soco International.
Soco confirmed that it is in talks to merge with Kuwait Energy in a deal which would finally give the Middle Eastern group a foothold in the UK market after repeatedly failing to take the company public.
Soco said the pair are in preliminary talks over a “merger of equals” but cautioned that there can be no certainty that an agreement will be reached.
Shares in the £400m company bounced over 10pc as the merger talks with the Kuwaiti business were revealed.
If the deal moved ahead it would broaden the geographic reach of the combined group and bolster its strength in the face of ongoing oil market jitters.
Soco holds mature oil and gas assets in Vietnam, Congo and Angola with no interests to the low-cost fields in the Middle East. Meanwhile, Kuwait Energy operates assets in Iraq, Oman, Egypt and Yemen which produce growing volumes but are exposed to geopolitical risk which has scuppered its past plans to go public.
Kuwait Energy’s most recent hopes of joining the FTSE 250 were dashed last summer as market jitters caused the group to abandon the plans for a float which was expected to value it at £1bn.
The group had previously indicated its interest in listing on the London market, in what would prove a key test of investor appetite in Middle Eastern companies. But its previous efforts were blighted by the Arab Spring uprisings in 2010 and the oil market crash in 2014.
In June last year Manssour Aboukhamseen, Kuwait Energy’s chairman, said its plans to list in London were once again on the backburner, just two months after resurrecting the IPO bid.
Since then the group has undertaken a major corporate reshuffle which included the resignation of Sara Akbar, its long-standing chief executive and co-founder. At the same time the group appointed six new directors to the board.
Kuwait Energy said its new board is committed to serving the best interest of all its stakeholders and would only pursue a deal that it considers "optimal" for its shareholders | [

Pressurized fluid from the hydraulic pump rotates the motor output shaft by pushing the gears, pistons, or vanes of the hydraulic motor. Hydraulic motors can be used for direct-drive applications when sufficient torque capacity is available or via reduction gears.
Most hydraulic motors are required to operate under reversible rev and stop conditions. Hydraulic motors often have to operate at relatively low speeds and high pressures and are subject to large temperature and speed fluctuations during normal operation. You can also buy the best hydraulic motors through https://www.athydraulics.com.au/product-category/hydraulic-motors/.
Image Source: Google
All hydraulic piston motors are available in fixed and variable displacement versions. The most common type of hydraulic motor is the axial piston. The axial piston hydraulic motor has high volumetric efficiency.
Hydraulic motors are also most adaptable to variable load conditions. They are available in two main designs including drive pulleys and curved shafts.
The hydraulic motor is driven by pressurized hydraulic fluid and transfers rotational kinetic energy to mechanical devices. The hydraulic motor, when driven by a mechanical source, can rotate in the opposite direction and act as a pump.
Hydraulic motors differ from pumps in that they can be designed for both directions of rotation, can have different seals to maintain high pressure at low speeds, or have different bearings to withstand high transverse loads to drive the gears, gears, or road wheels of the vehicle.
A rotating valve that successively distributes pressure to the piston causes the output shaft to rotate in the desired direction. | [

Among other things we sometimes need to apply a bit of cunning to accomplish our inherent necessary needs and to achieve our chosen recreational goals. If we have run into a roadblock or roadblocks while attempting only to achieve these goals we must apply some artful tactics to get to the place, either physical or mental, we’ve decided we must be. There are many ways to be cunning from concealing oneself in hiding and springing out to snatch and grab to shrewdly misdirecting another so that we may slip in and procure what we need. A great of amount of astuteness and craftiness is needed if we’re going to pull off acquiring items or performing the actions we need or covet. Cunning can be abused as can just about any other attribute and it is wise to be aware of how one is using the trait and for what. Our motivations are not always what they should be and cunning lends itself to some very unattractive habits and characteristics. One should not ignore the traits one does possess, but one must very careful to evaluate how one is using them. Cunning can be fun and can lead to the surprise and laughter of all as long as it’s not used to denigrate anyone. But it is fun sometimes to put one over on people. Cunning should lead to fun not folly, don’t you think? | [

In a non-wedding note, we are stuck in limbo.
The GTB and I put our home on the market last week (Monday). We had our first showing on Wednesday and an offer on Thursday!!! The good news is that we sold our home in record time. The bad news is that… (gulp) we’d officially be “homeless” on October 31 if we didn’t find our next home.
Well, after an exhaustive 20 home tour with our awesome realtors, we zoned in on 2 homes.
1. S. Minneapolis (just of 50th street, near Xerxes (LOVE the area!). The house is recently remodeled, the updates are all so thoughtful, the basement is perfect and there’s a great study just off the master bedroom. Swoon.
2. Edina. This home seem to have avoided being remodeled during it’s 50 years on this planet. The wallpaper is EXTENSIVE, the kitchen needs to be gutted (the oven is aqua enamel), but the location is AWESOME, there’s a ton of potential and the yard is 1/2 an acre!
These 2 homes are really 2 sides to a coin. Move-in ready, big-kid on the block beautiful home with a tiny yard or small-fry in a gorgeous neighborhood with lots of potential, that just needs to be shined up.
Well, it turns out that our decision between the two was made for us (and I couldn’t be HAPPIER!!!).
Stay tuned for more info…. | [

A review is made of the present state of laser communications. The basic characteristics of lasercom are discussed, and the advantages and shortcomings are delineated. Potential application scenarios are given. A functional block diagram showing the major blocks is discussed, and each is described in terms of present performance parameters. Performance numbers are given in terms of range and bit error rate achieved. Discussion of the various available laser transmitters is given including the advantage and disadvantage of each. CO2 being a gas discharge device has potential lifetime problems and requires heterodyne detection - an added complexity. Nd:YAG requires either discharge lamp pumping or diode pumping. Diode pumping involves matching the diode emission line to a fairly narrow Nd:YAG pump band. There is an unresolved question of diode emission line shifting with age. A summary of the various shortcomings in the technology include, for example, the required heavy optical bench, lack of demonstration of 10-year required life, solid state detector response time, and photomultiplier tube lifetime.
Optical communications can be an attractive alternative to microwave technology in commercial and military space communications, particularly when the data rate required is high. System analysis at the optical frequencies often differs significantly from that at lower frequencies due to the vastly different technology of sources, modulators and receivers and also due to the important role that nonclassical (quantum) noise plays in determining system performance. In this paper important optical communication system architectures and critical system and technology issues that affect system designs will be examined. Coherent (heterodyne or homodyne) systems will be compared to incoherent (direct detection) systems in the context of space communications. Examples will be drawn from current state-of-the-art technologies and projected future technologies.
A study of the possible utilization of optical communications for a deep space link via an Earth-orbiting relay satellite is presented. The optical link is used primarily for high rate data transmission from a deep space vehicle to the relay, while RF links are envisioned for the relay to Earth link. This type of hybrid system combines the advantages of optical frequencies for the free space channel to the relay with the advantages of RF links for atmospheric transmission. Auxiliary optical beacon and low rate RF links may be included for aiding pointing, tracking and timing operations.* A preliminary link analysis is presented for initial sizing of optical components and power levels, in terms of achievable data rates at various distances. The potential advantage of an optical link over present RF deep space link capabilities is shown. The problems of pointing with narrow optical beams are discussed, and the performance degradation due to pointing errors is evaluated. Since the modulation formats of the optical link to the relay and the RF link from the relay may be significantly different, an interface problem may arise in interconnecting the two links at the relay. This requires reformatting the detected optical signals to conform to the retransmitted RF link. The interface problem is discussed and alternative implementations are examined.
Techniques for combining individual semiconductor lasers for use as a laser communication transmitter are discussed. The geometries, aging characteristics, radiation effects, and lifetimes of semiconductor lasers are reviewed, and the resulting effects on the laser communications transmitter are assessed.
Propagation through turbulence can impose severe limitations on the performance of atmospheric optical communication links. Previous studies have established quantitative results for turbulence-induced beam spread, angular spread, and scintillation. This paper develops communication-theory results for single-bit and message transmission through turbulence. Programmable calculator algorithms for evaluating these results are given, and used to examine system performance in some realistic scenarios. These algorithms make it possible for the uninitiated communication engineer to rapidly assess the effects of turbulence on an atmospheric optical communication link.
This paper examines the use of a low power GaAs laser as the beacon source for establishing a high data rate laser communication link. A link signal-to-noise parametric analysis is presented, as well as identification and analysis of noise sources. The GaAs signal characteristics (power and lifetime) and system optical considerations are also discussed.
Results of a parametric study to assess the effects of system tradeoffs and design considerations on the operational capabilities of optical communication links using laser sources and semiconductor detectors are presented. System performance was analyzed using an interactive computer program to determine parameter values required for a given bit error rate. This computer code is applicable to a wide variety of links, laser wavelengths, and background scenarios. Examples of the application of this analysis to several representative space-based laser communication systems are presented, and conclusions are reached regarding whether these systems can achieve design goals set by mission objectives.
The Faint Object Camera is one of five scientific instruments being developed for the Space Telescope to be launched in 1984-1985. This paper outlines how the scientific goals of the Space Telescope of spatial resolution and detection capability are achieved through the performance of the Faint Object Camera. The optical configuration of the Faint Object Camera is presented and it is shown how a range of focal ratios of f/48, f/96 and f/288 are achieved within the standard scientific instrument envelope of the Space Telescope. | [

Bite Sized is a poetic, moving story of a mother’s striving to nourish her child, who has anorexia. It is about the impact of eating disorders and the challenges of parenting. It is also a story of the monster that lurks close by all of us in the modern world – the monster of ‘too much’ and ‘not enough’.
The book speaks to anyone trying to care for another person, bring up a child, grapple with illness, or simply navigate the ups and downs of being human. Told in digestible morsels, it offers space for shared human experiences to resonate: vulnerability, the quest for hope, and the need to be nourished.
Fiona Hamilton brings the depth and conviction of personal experience, a sprinkling of humour, and a poetic heart to themes of body, mind, suffering and relationships. Profoundly moving, Bite Sized faces a modern-day problem with our humanity and invites us to take on monsters, trusting in the importance of love.

Neuroprotective Effect of Modified Xijiao Dihuang Decoction against Oxygen-Glucose Deprivation and Reoxygenation-Induced Injury in PC12 Cells: Involvement of TLR4-MyD88/NF-κB Signaling Pathway
Modified Xijiao Dihuang (XJDH) decoction has been shown to exert powerful neuroprotective properties in clinical ischemic stroke treatment. It consists of 4 Chinese herbs: Buffalo Horn, Paeonia suffruticosa Andrews, Rehmannia glutinosa (Gaertn.) DC, and Paeonia lactiflora Pall. In the present study, the neuroprotective effect and specific mechanisms of XJDH in protecting PC12 cells from oxygen-glucose deprivation-induced injury were investigated. It was found that OGD/R significantly decreased the cell viability and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity and increased the release of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α in PC12 cells, and these effects were suppressed by XJDH and one of its major active constituents, paeoniflorin. Additionally, XJDH inhibited caspase-3 activity and reduced cleaved caspase-3 level. Mechanistic studies showed that the expressions of TLR4, MyD88, TRAF6, and NF-κB p65 and phosphorylation of IκBα and p65 were significantly lower in the XJDH-treated group than in the OGD/R control group. Additionally, XJDH reversed the OGD/R-induced increases in p-JNK and p-ERK1/2 expression. These results suggest that XJDH protects PC12 cells from oxygen-glucose deprivation-induced injury, which may be associated with the inhibition of the TLR4-MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathway. As an anti-inflammation factor, XJDH might be used as a neuronal protection strategy for the ischemia injury and related diseases.
Ischemic stroke, also known as cerebral infarction, is considered as one of the leading causes of adult mortality and disability worldwide. About 87% of stroke cases are due to sudden occlusion of a blood vessel, which may lead to insufficient oxygen and glucose delivery to support cellular homeostasis and then result in cell death [2, 3]. Therefore, rapid reperfusion in ischemic area for rescuing dying cells is critical in the therapy of cerebral ischemia. However, reperfusion usually causes deterioration of brain injury and a profound inflammatory response. Nowadays few therapeutic options are available for stroke treatment, and thus there is a pressing need for developing new therapeutic strategies.
Although the complex mechanism of cerebra ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) injury has not been exactly demonstrated, the interactions of several pathophysiological processes (i.e., oxygen free radical injury, excitatory amino acid neurotoxicity, and intracellular calcium overload) are shown to be involved in stroke progression. Recent evidences have suggested that innate immune and inflammatory reactions are the main cause contributing to the pathophysiology of cerebral I/R injury. Brain ischemia triggers inflammatory responses and produces cytotoxic substances including TNF, IL-1β, iNOS, and other proinflammatory mediators, resulting in more neuronal damage. Anti-inflammatory therapy displayed evident neuroprotective effects in ischemia [6, 7]. Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), a germline-encoded pattern recognition receptor expressed by various brain cells, plays an important role in inflammatory responses triggered by I/R injuries. In ischemic/reperfusion condition, TLR4 is activated and leads to recruitment/activation of adaptor protein myeloid differentiation primary response gene (88) (MyD88). Subsequently, the TLR4/MyD88 signaling stimulates TNF receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6) and increases the level of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) transcriptional activity and expression of proinflammatory cytokine, thereby triggering inflammatory responses in ischemic brain. Activation of TLR4 also stimulates mitogen-activated protein (MAP) and stress kinases including extracellular-regulated kinase (ERK) 1/2, p38, and Jun kinase (JNK) 1/2, which in turn activates transcription regulators of inflammation. Since inflammatory responses contribute to hypoxic injury and importance of TLR4 in inflammatory mechanisms has been well recognized, blocking TLR4/MyD88 signaling pathway may be a potentially neuroprotective therapeutic strategy for ischemic stroke.
Modified Xijiao Dihuang (XJDH) decoction is derived from a famous ancient Chinese formula originally recorded in “Prescriptions Worth A Thousand Gold,” a medical book written by the “Medicinal King” Sun Simiao (around 700 AD). The main herbal ingredients of the formula include Buffalo Horn (Shui Niu Jiao in Chinese), Rehmannia glutinosa (Gaertn.) DC (Sheng Dihuang in Chinese), Paeonia lactiflora Pall. (Shao Yao in Chinese), and Paeonia suffruticosa Andrews (Mu Danpi in Chinese). XJDH has been traditionally prescribed for stopping bleeding accompanied with fever, removing toxic | [

Some SDSU students have been spending their days in the clouds. SDSU’s student aviation program is quickly becoming one of the most highly qualified and safest flight training programs in South Dakota.
“The aviation program has an extremely good safety record,” said Jeff Boulware, associate professor of aviation education at SDSU.
The aviation program is a four-year program through the College of Education and Counseling. Students who graduate from the program will have Bachelor of Science degrees in aviation. There are three different choices of emphasis: aviation education, aviation management and aviation maintenance management.
“The aviation program is a great opportunity for SDSU’s students. I’m working on my aviation management minor and I really enjoy it,” said Rabeka Worthley, a senior aviation management and math engineering major. “The professors for this major are experts in what they do and I really couldn’t ask for better.”
Aviation education is for students who wish to become professional flight instructors. Students with this major have the possibility of being hired for regional airlines, air freight operators, charter aviation operators and other aviation positions due to the amount of experience they will have by the time they graduate.
Aviation management is a specialization for those students who wish to have their own aviation business. However, this major does not require a Certified Flight Instructor certificate. Aviation management also has a strong emphasis for those students who are also mathematics, business or finance majors.
Aviation maintenance management is for students who want a career in repairing and maintaining aircrafts. This specialization requires students to receive maintenance training at an approved maintenance school. Students then return to SDSU to finish their degree.
“We have a really good program at SDSU,” Boulware said. “It gives our students some really nice opportunities. The aviation program just keeps growing.”
Most aviation classes are held on campus, but flight operations are currently being conducted at the Brookings Airport. SDSU now has their own fleet of airplanes that are stored in a new hanger, according to Boulware.
“Now that SDSU has their own planes, it makes scheduling flight time easier for everyone,” said Worthley.
SDSU has a strict safety practice and procedure policy that all students must adhere to. The policy insures safety for both students and faculty. The aviation program also has new equipment for use as teaching aids to prepare students for flight.
SDSU now has a Frasca Tru-Flite Flight Training Device (FTD). This flight simulator is used by students as a teaching tool. It teaches students to handle emergencies and flight risks that are unsafe to practice in a real airplane. The FTD has a 170 degree wrap around visual to help simulate the view of what a real airplane looks like.
SDSU’s aviation program currently has over 100 students enrolled and the number is rising. The classroom in the sky will continue to grow as more students enroll in the program. It is quickly improving and becoming one of the most unusual, yet extraordinary features of SDSU. | [

How Lauren learned she had a fear in flying? Using the Classical Conditioning theory the possibilities could be endless. Classical conditioning in simple terms is the method in which one determines why and the cause of a condition as well as what has brought it about. There are many stimulus both conditioned and unconditioned that can cause fear or other problems, but the major reason for causes regarding the fear of flying has been mentioned in several articles regarding anxiety disorders.
Fear of flying is created by the unconscious mind as a protective mechanism. When using the neutral stimulus explanation, Lauren may not have had a relevant response of interest. Lauren may have learned something or heard someone from her past that caused the continuous fear. Due to the facts in this case, there’s little information to provide us regarding Lauren. First we know she’s afraid to fly, but we have no further information regarding the condition that caused the fear or the circumstances to what led to this fear. The first step in Pavlov’s theory is trying to discover how Lauren’s fear came about, but without more information one can only speculate or guess how Lauren’s condition developed. Pavlov’s theory states several actions and read actions that could have caused Lauren’s Condition.
The conditioning of the plane could be neutral stimulus, and the activities on the plane is the unconditioned stimulus. During condit...

- I. Introduction of classical conditioning Classical conditioning also called as Pavlovian conditioning or respondent conditioning. It is a kind of learning a new behavior through association that when a conditioned stimulus (CS) is paired with an unconditioned stimulus (US) and evokes a conditioned response (CR). It also is a learning process that occurs through associations between an environmental stimulus and a naturally occurring stimulus (Cherry, 2014). Classical conditioning has much strength such as can help to explain all aspects of human behavior and many of advertisers will use classical conditioning to advertise their produces, however it also have some weaknesses such as all cla...

- Classical conditioning is a part of everyday life, and it has been around for as long as living organism have been around. Most people have no idea that classical conditioning occurs on a daily basis. It can happen anywhere, our homes simply watching TV, or being outside in the public. Classical conditioning is a way of learning that happens when two stimuli are presented together, which then become associated with each other. Classical conditioning was first discovered by Ivan Pavlov, and it is so closely associated to him that it is sometimes even called Pavlovian Conditioning.... [tags: Classical Conditioning Essays]

- Classical conditioning is the conditional programming of an organism to respond to a conditioned stimulus that seeks to enhanced and enforce a certain behavior in an organism. This is achieved through the use of classical conditioned stimulus or object that is presented with an unconditioned stimulus in an organism. Classical conditioning involves the use of a neutral stimulus in order to instil a classically generated behavior or response in an organism. Classical conditioning was first advanced by Ivan Pavlov who was the founding father of behaviorism.... [tags: stimulus, behaviorism, conditioning]

Mayberry fuels annual School Swim Meet
The local swimming fraternity received a $500,000 boost on Wednesday from brokerage firm Mayberry Investments Ltd to facilitate the staging of the Annual School Swim Meet.
Mayberry Investments Ltd, in partnership with the Amateur Swimming Association of Jamaica (ASAJ), will host the 20th Annual School Swim Meet at the National Aquatic Centre at the National Stadium this weekend.
Martin Lyn, president, Amateur Swimming Association of Jamaica, said swimming is a sport that is a lifestyle.
"Swimming is one of the few sports that is a lifestyle. This meet is one of the longest-running school meets and sponsorship meets the ASAJ has and we have to say hats off to Mayberry for being there for the past 20 years and for bringing on sponsors that we may otherwise not have had access to," Lyn said.
"It's always a great pleasure for me to be a part of the prep and primary school meets because what it means is that there is growth in the sports, and I look forward to all the participants doing well in the meet. Thanks to Mayberry, we actually have a meet to look forward to for another consecutive year," added Lyn.
The Mayberry Investments School Swim Meet began as the company's way of contributing to the development of swimming in Jamaica and is now a well-recognised swim meet nationally with the largest number of competitors.
"Here at Mayberry, we value any role in the development of our communities, and especially, our youngsters. We realise that sports provide a very productive outlet for them, and for this reason, we do what we can to support these initiatives," explained Philbert Perry, senior VP of sales and marketing, Mayberry Investments.
"Swimming is one of several amateur sports that we support, but this event has been the signature event for our company and one that has grown into the largest swim meet in the country. Our only hope is that the competition sees more persons competing and grows from year to year," ended Perry.
This year's competition begins today with high schools and tertiary institutions and ends tomorrow with preparatory and primary schools. Races will begin at 8:00 a.m. each day. | [

Trying to set up a repeater and looks like ive got issues with Desense.
Basically I got a cavity filter like this one here:
(link removed- Please read the forum rules) 65W Duplexer UHF 6 CAVITY DUPLEXER for radio repeater N connector UHF Duplexer…
And its running a pair of baofeng UV5R radios, with its TX set going through a Btech U25 booster.
Its working fine with signals in close range, but signals further away, while still coming in strong, wont receive once the set starts transmitting.
I did a test, and had the other person talking and as soon as I keyed the PTT button, it went silent, I could not hear any noise from myself transmitting, but it was cutting out.
Any ideas? Only thing I havent tried testing is reducing the bandwidth to NFM instead of transmitting on FM band.
Channels are UHF band 5 Mhz apart. High band is RX, low is TX. | [

Meteorological Sensitivity of Lowtran 3B.
Final rept. 1 Jul-1 Oct 77,
AIR FORCE AVIONICS LAB WRIGHT-PATTERSON AFB OHIO
Pagination or Media Count:
Mathematical expressions are developed which permit calculations of the meteorological sensitivity of Lowtran 3B, a computer code which can be used to calculate the transmittance of the atmosphere from the ultraviolet to the middle infrared portion of the spectrum. Mathematical relationships are developed which relate the water vapor line, uniformly mixed gases and ozone transmissions directly to the meteorological observables. These relationships are then used in conjunction with the existing expressions for the other atmospheric constituents to determine the meteorological sensitivity of this model. Author

Summer is almost here, which means now is a great time to start planning for the top summer events in Washington DC.
There are many can’t-miss events to enjoy in the nation’s capital this summer, including:
DC Jazz Festival
With four main stages and music performances from some of the biggest names in jazz, perhaps it’s easy to understand why the DC Jazz Festival serves as a can’t-miss event.
The DC Jazz Festival will take place at The Yards from June 17 to 19 and promises to be an exceptional celebration of all things jazz.
Plus, the festival will offer a massive marketplace with many local vendors, beer and wine tastings and, of course, unforgettable jazz performances.
Giant National Capital Barbecue Battle
For summer BBQ at its best, you simply cannot go wrong with a trek to the Giant National Capital Barbecue Battle on June 25 and 26.
The Giant National Capital Barbecue Battle represents an amazing event for the whole family. It features plenty of great BBQ dishes, live music performances and much more.
Smithsonian Folklife Festival
Learn about various cultures from around the world by checking out the Smithsonian Folklife Festival.
The Festival is a great festival for kids and adults alike too, and it even enables you to explore numerous cultures and help strengthen and preserve their traditions.
Ready to enjoy a cultural learning experience like no other? Attend this year’s Smithsonian Folklife Festival from June 29 to July 4 and July 7 to 10 at the National Mall, and you can learn more about a variety of unique cultural traditions.
Brew at the Zoo
On July 21, you can try beer from more than 70 craft brewers at Brew at the Zoo at the National Zoo.
Brew at the Zoo makes it simple to raise a glass to conservation, as all event proceeds benefit the Smithsonian’s National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute in its mission to save species.
Meanwhile, Brew at the Zoo attendees can enjoy live entertainment by The Reagan Years, lawn games and animal demonstrations, all of which help make this DC event a can’t-miss celebration.
How are you going to get to DC’s top summer events?
Summer is a special time in the nation’s capital, and many wonderful events ensure you’ll be able to enjoy any summer DC excursion.
Getting into DC, however, can be challenging for just about anyone, regardless of the season.
Ridesharing services like Uber and Lyft typically pay their drivers on a per-fare basis. This sometimes results in drivers rushing passengers from one destination to the next, and ultimately, a subpar travel experience.
If only there was a reliable way to get into DC to enjoy the top summer events…
Now, there is, with American Executive Transportation.

I am a new father and, like most new fathers, I am a proud papa! I love watching my son take in this world. He is just about to make the transition from crawling to walking. He is so close! It’s been fascinating watching him calculate his next move, to figure out how many steps from the rocking chair to the couch. He has always been curious; I am sure all children are curious but it has revived in me a sense of my own curiosity. I’ve been thinking, “how much have I really challenged myself lately?”
To be fair, there has been little sleep over the last thirteen months but where has my sense of wonderment gone? Where is my drive to learn more and to try new things? Where is my curiosity?
We all find comfort in routine, in doing things the way we think they should be done! But sometimes the world shifts and shakes us from those routines. The world is always changing and always evolving. We need to do the same.
My son has this great thing he does when I’m holding him on my shoulder; he cranes his neck around as if to look around a distant, invisible corner. It is as if he knows there is so much information to gather in this new world he inhabits. I feel like I am doing a little bit of that too right now; I am craning my neck to try to look around to this distant and invisible future. By doing that, I am standing still, I am not moving forward. I am stagnant.
When I put my son down from my shoulder he immediately forgets that distant, invisible corner. He is focused on his next move, the beautiful things he can discover right here and right now. He is pulling himself up on the chair and surveying the land. He finds something new, something that may have never existed before in his mind and slowly and courageously moves to it.
How can we find new ways of moving forward? How can we find the courage to be curious? To learn more and to create new things that may have never existed in our minds before? It does take baby steps, but the important thing is that we take that first one – that first glorious, wobbly step. | [

Maybe it’s fitting that one of the first companies to start making products out of carbon pollution is an automaker. For the last four years, Ford has been working with a manufacturer to develop a CO2-based foam, and soon a plastic, that can eventually replace parts made from petroleum.
The shift could reduce petroleum by more than 600 million pounds a year. “There’s 30 pounds of foam in a typical vehicle, and 300 pounds of plastic,” says Debbie Mielewski, Ford’s senior technical leader of sustainability. “So 10% of the vehicle is plastic currently, and that number grows every year as we try to use plastic to replace metal for light-weighting, fuel economy purposes.”
The new foam could be used in headrests, armrests, in door panels, and under carpeting. CO2-based polymers will also be used to make hard plastics for most of the rest of a car.
Ford has been developing alternative materials for the last 15 years; every North American car or truck already uses some soy foam. There’s also coconut fiber used in trunk liners, and recycled clothing and plastic bottles go into carpeting and some fabric.
Each new material faces some initial skepticism. “I think this is about the fourth time that our group has been told there’s no way that this is going to work,” says Mielewski. When the company first started sampling the material, which is made from 50% captured CO2, they couldn’t mix it into a formulation. Now, after years of work with university partners and the manufacturer, they look like ordinary foams, and have passed the company’s screening tests so far.
Though some CO2-based products may eventually come from pollution captured from the air, the current source is power plants. “Right now it’s the smartest thing to take it from a concentrated stream that would otherwise end up being discharged into the environment,” she says. “In order to capture it from the atmosphere would take a lot more energy.”
It will likely take five more years of testing, and scaling up both with suppliers and the polymer manufacturer, Novomer. But in the long term, the company may completely replace petroleum parts in cars. “We have made so much progress in the short period of time we’ve worked in this area, we feel that every single plastic material on a car could be made better for the environment, greener, and have a specific source that is determined to be the best for that product,” she says.
The company is also starting to slowly move away from petroleum as a fuel source: Though Ford only has one electric car now, it plans to add another more by 2020. [Correction: This sentence previous said Ford would be adding 13 electric cars by 2020. It plans to add 13 electric cars, hybrids, and plug-in hybrids, but not all will be fully electric.] | [

The Minister of Health, Dr Manto Tshabalala-Msimang held the first
regularmeeting with the Deputy Minister and provincial Health MECs
(Minmec) for 2004 in Johannesburg today. The meeting addressed a number of
Regulation of the prices of medicines:
A set of 27 draft regulations aimed at creating a transparent pricing system
and reducing the prices of medicines were presented. Minmec reiterated its
view that health is not just a commodity but a service critical in
maintaining and saving the lives of human beings. The establishment of a fully
transparent pricing chain will be enormously beneficial to consumers. The
process will entail:
* Eliminating perverse incentives.
* Requiring manufacturers to set a single exit price at which a medicine will
be sold to all parties.
* Setting maximum fees that may be charged by wholesalers, retailers, etc
that are involved in the drug distribution chain.
* Minmec decided that the draft regulations be published as soon as possible
for public comment for a three month period. Comments and representations from
interested parties will be taken into consideration when these regulations are
Minmec noted that allegations of massive collusion and price fixing
raisetheir heads all too often in the pharmaceutical industry. Recently some
multinational companies operating in South Africa made a substantial
payment in settlement of such a case before our own Competition Tribunal.
Currently the British National Health Service is suing seven major
pharmaceutical companies for 30 million pounds for allegedly fixing the
price of one of Britain's most common drugs. Prices of several other
prescription drugs increased by up to 700 percent due to alleged price-fixing by
Minmec noted with concern the health challenges posed by the droughtaffecting
particularly Eastern Cape, Free State, KwaZulu-Natal, Limpopo,Mpumalanga,
Northern Cape and the North-West provinces. It is widely recognised that
drought increases poverty and food insecurity, leading to malnutrition and
Minmec, however, considered some of the less obvious health consequences of
drought. Experience of severe drought in other parts of Africa suggests
that a wide-ranging health strategy is necessary to ward off the full
consequences of this natural disaster. They endorsed a strategy that takes
* The increased risk of diarrhoeal disease due to shrinking water
sources,lower personal hygiene practices and deteriorating sanitation.
* The likely shift in vector borne diseases (such as malaria) to new areas.
* The interaction of malnutrition with communicable diseases that compromise
immunity and affect huge numbers of South Africans.
* The social disruption caused by drought and the consequences of this for
preventive health programmes, such as the immunisation of children.
* The increased environmental risks - from excessively high temperatures, air
pollution due to veld fires, the possibility of poisoning from infected
livestock that have succumbed to the combined effect of drought and
* Minmec endorsed a proposal for a national health sector response to the
short and long-term negative impact of drought on the health status of
affected South Africans. The plan aims to empower affected communities to
sustain health even under disastrous circumstances, prevent heat related
illnesses and maintain optimal personal hygiene levels and sanitation.
Minmec noted that various health professionals who are doing community
service in many disadvantaged areas are commencing duty smoothly this
year. Minmec reaffirmed the objective of community service - namely to
ensure a supply of health professionals to facilities where their skills
are most needed, particularly in rural areas.
It was reported that 63 medical graduates out of the group of more than 1 100
had not yet been placed as they have not applied for posts in provinces
other than Gauteng and the Western Cape. All available posts in these two
provinces have already been allocated. These individuals will therefore be
requested to take up available positions where their skills are most needed.
Implementation of the Comprehensive Plan for Care, Management and Treatment
of HIV and AIDS
A progress report on the implementation of the Comprehensive Plan for Care,
Management and Treatment of HIV and AIDS was presented to Minmec
highlighting concerted work that has been ongoing in the Department since
the Plan was approved by Cabinet.
Progress includes the following:
* A Negotiating Team that is to secure best possible drug procurement
contracts has been established and it will shortly advertise a request for
proposals on the provision of anti-retroviral drugs from pharmaceutical
* An accreditation form encompassing all the requirements for identification
of service points has been finalised and piloted in two provinces.
External organisations that are going to assist with accreditation have
* Visits to provinces for accreditation of facilities will commence
* The Government's communication and social mobilisation programme that
promotes prevention, care | [

What is the value of a Iver Johnson cattleman 44 mag revolver serial 30465?
I recomend you purchase a copy of blue book of gun values.gun values vary for many reasons.this book is used by most dealers and collectors to help assign value.
What year was a us revolver company 32 caliber 5-shot revolver manufactured with serial number 50654?
What year was a US Revolver Company 32 caliber 5 shot revolver manufactured with the serial number a61572?
American Bulldog was a name used by at least two different manufacturers. Early guns by H&R date from the early 1900's, but Iver Johnson also marketed a revolver under that name in the 1970's. Johnson and Bye, a predecesor of Iver Johnson, also made an American Bulldog in the late 1800s. These can be identified by an owl's head on the grip.
What year was a us revolver company 32 caliber 5 shot revolver manufactured with serial number 46845?
Not sure of your question- The US Revolver was a second brand of the Iver Johnson Company. It was a well made but inexpensive revolver. They were made in.22,.32 S&W, and.38 S&W calibers, in a hammer and hammerless version. Value will be based on condition and the exact model, but typically runs around $100-$125. | [

Fujifilm X-E1 vs X-S10
The Fujifilm X-E1 and the Fujifilm X-S10 are two digital cameras that were announced, respectively, in September 2012 and October 2020. Both the X-E1 and the X-S10 are mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras that are equipped with an APS-C sensor. The X-E1 has a resolution of 16 megapixels, whereas the X-S10 provides 26 MP.
Below is an overview of the main specs of the two cameras as a starting point for the comparison.
Going beyond this snapshot of core features and characteristics, what are the differences between the Fujifilm X-E1 and the Fujifilm X-S10? Which one should you buy? Read on to find out how these two cameras compare with respect to their body size, their imaging sensors, their shooting features, their input-output connections, and their reception by expert reviewers.
An illustration of the physical size and weight of the Fujifilm X-E1 and the Fujifilm X-S10 is provided in the side-by-side display below. The two cameras are presented according to their relative size. Three successive views from the front, the top, and the rear are shown. All size dimensions are rounded to the nearest millimeter.
The X-E1 can be obtained in two different colors (black, silver), while the X-S10 is only available in black.
If the front view area (width x height) of the cameras is taken as an aggregate measure of their size, the Fujifilm X-S10 is notably larger (11 percent) than the Fujifilm X-E1. Moreover, the X-S10 is markedly heavier (33 percent) than the X-E1. In this context, it is worth noting that neither the X-E1 nor the X-S10 are weather-sealed.
The above size and weight comparisons are to some extent incomplete since they do not consider the interchangeable lenses that both of these cameras require. In this particular case, both cameras feature the same lens mount, so that they can use the same lenses. You can compare the optics available in the Fujinon X Lens Catalog. Mirrorless cameras, such as the two under consideration, have the additional advantage of having a short flange to focal plane distance, which makes it possible to mount many lenses from other systems onto the camera via adapters.
Concerning battery life, the X-E1 gets 350 shots out of its NP-W126 battery, while the X-S10 can take 325 images on a single charge of its NP-W126S power pack. The power pack in the X-S10 can be charged via the USB port, which can be very convenient when travelling.
The following table provides a synthesis of the main physical specifications of the two cameras and other similar ones. If you would like to visualize and compare a different camera combination, you can navigate to the CAM-parator app and make your selection from a broad list of cameras there.

It's easy to think of distinct natural areas on land that matter to us- places like Yellowstone National Park, the Grand Canyon, or a favorite spot along the Appalachian Trail. But most of us don't think of our oceans in the same way; they're a mystery, vast and monolithic.
In fact, not far off New England's coast are two of America's most unique and vital seascapes. They provide refuges for a stunning diversity of ocean wildlife-- from whales and dolphins, to ancient coral gardens, to vast kelp forests. And right now, the Obama administration has the chance to protect them forever.
Southeast of Cape Cod, where the continental shelf drops off into the depths of the Atlantic Ocean, there are canyons as deep as the Grand Canyon and underwater mountains higher than any east of the Rockies. The waters above Coral Canyons and Seamounts teem with ocean wildlife--including tuna, sharks, seabirds, and the endangered sperm and right whales.
Approximately 80 miles southeast of Portland, Maine, the ledge of an underwater mountain range creates a flow of nutrients and oxygen that allow diverse marine life to flourish. Cashes Ledge features the largest and deepest cold-water kelp forest on the Atlantic seaboard--with kelp growing so high that in some places it towers over divers' heads. The area also hosts bluefin tuna, sea turtles, sharks, and also provides seasonal habitat for several types of whales, including the highly endangered North Atlantic right whale.
Yet destructive activities have already taken a toll on these areas, and the specter of deep-sea mining and drilling casts a shadow over what remains.
For more than a century, presidents since Teddy Roosevelt have protected some of America's most treasured landscapes from threats like drilling and mining by designating them as national monuments. Now, the Obama administration is considering safeguarding these amazing seascapes in the same way, by creating the first national marine monument in U.S. Atlantic waters.
Marine biologists, charter boat captains, and conservation groups have long called for the protecting these special places off New England's coast. Earlier this month, the New England Aquarium in Boston hosted an event to educate the public as to just why. More than 600 attendees heard from Scott Kraus, one of the world's foremost whale researchers, and viewed breathtaking images from National Geographic photographer Brian Skerry.
Within days of the forum, the Obama administration announced it would hold its own listening session--an indication they took the request for the new marine monuments seriously.
This week, hundreds more showed up in Providence, R.I. for that town hall, where U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal and U.S. House Rep. Rosa DeLauro of Connecticut sent video testimony supporting the proposed monument. Rep. Art Handy, chair of the environment committee in the Rhode Island legislature and champion of all things Narragansett Bay, showed his support in person. Whale watching captains and anglers urged protections for marine life for future generations. Eminent marine biologist and Brown professor Jon Witman presented a letter signed by 250 scientists favoring the marine safeguards. By the time of the session, Americans had already weighed in with 160,000 comments in favor.
But there are detractors. Republican leaders in Congress have made no secret of their disdain of the president's use of the Antiquities Act, which they decry as "unilateral action" -- even though presidents from both parties have long used the law to protect natural features. Maine's Gov. Paul LePage complained in a letter read at hearing of "the bitter fruit that this unchecked power bears."
To overcome these opponents, we need to show the Obama administration that Americans value treasures in the ocean as well as treasures on land. Join us in supporting these marine wonders for future generations. | [

PUBG Mobile Lite Download for Jio Phone: PUBG Mobile is the most popular mobile game available to us, and for low specifications devices, PUBG MOBILE LITE has been released. In this article, I will let you know about the reality of PUBG MOBILE LITE for Jiophone and how people can download PUBG MOBILE LITE On Jio Phones.
The main aim behind building PUBG Mobile Lite is to help people play this game even on low specifications devices. Recently a video of playing PUBG Mobile Lite on Jiophone was released, and after that video, many people are asking. Can we play PUBG Mobile Lite on Jio Phone? If yes, then how to play PUBG Mobile Lite on Jio Phone?
PUBG Mobile Lite Download for Jio Phone
PUBG MOBILE LITE is a lighter version of the official PUBG MOBILE developed to run smoothly on devices with low RAM with 2GB. But the video promising to play PUBG on the Jio phone is not true. The game is playable on Android OS, but Jio Phone has KaiOS and the APK file available for android is unsupported in Jio phones.
The video showing PUBG Mobile in Jio Phone is actually a video clip where the gameplay of PUBG Mobile was playing and the user was just touching some random buttons to show that video is true.
The Jio phone is made for calling and normal internet browsing; if you want to play games like PUBG Mobile, you need to upgrade to an Android device with at least 4GB RAM for better performance. | [

Re: Interesting times
Well a dutch scientist already made the the math to explain gravity just as a side effect of what you describe. On the other side it might be possible that true empty space has a different nature (it cann't be made due to quantum fluctuations). Dough i wonder if QM is just realy the end of measuring and certainty. I rather hope for a a nice mix perhaps something with fractals endless infinite patterns and strings / membranes. As to me inflation just doesnt sound right. | [

Letter: Wrong to remove statue of Columbus
I write in opposition of any person or group who wants to remove the Christopher Columbus Statue from Wooster Square Park in New Haven. This group who met to make this recommendation did not speak for all Italian Americans in the Greater New Haven area. They call for change, for a better way to have our heritage and traditions honored. Are we to believe after all these years that we honored Columbus we were wrong?
So, it was all a lie to all the many Italians who came to America for a better life for a dream that would give them hope and become part of this great country. Who has that right to take all that away from us? Not every Italian in New Haven came from the Wooster Square area of New Haven. Italians were in every neighborhood of this city. Now many live in the surrounding towns and cities.
Many return every year on Columbus Day to honor our heritage, enjoy the times that families watched the parade as it moves from town to town. The Columbus Committee keeps our dream alive as we try to remember how hard it was when the first Italians came to America. They overcame any racial overtones against them. They worked hard, educated their children and sent many off to war for America. They became Americans.
So do not act so fast trying to change how many of us feel about Columbus. You will not change the world by what occurred in the past. You learn from it, you move on to a better place. Moving the statue out of the park to another place will not change history.

Dig in the Dirt
Brook Run Park Main Entrance
Our signature project includes both sides of the main entrance. In 2013, we worked with Dunwoody Parks and Recreation to transform the area under the Liane Levetan sign which was nothing but some overgrown bushes. Today, it is a beautiful area that welcomes visitors to the park. We have two major “all hands” workdays a year to do general pruning and change out annual beds.
The club partnered with Friends of the Library to landscape the library entrance. We have a variety of shrubs and perennials planted to beautify this space. The club maintains this area as well as changes out the annuals in the spring and fall to add some seasonal color. The club recently collaborated with Friends of the Library and the City of Dunwoody to install a new stone wall leading up to the library entrance. We have expanded this project to include plantings in the Stage Door Players planter.
Dunwoody Library Atrium
The atrium inside the Dunwoody Library is the club’s oldest project. For many years, we have filled the space with wonderful tropical plants to greet patrons of this community center. The concrete lectern in the center displays a changing variety of books. One of our members makes sure that the atrium is watered regularly.
Windwood Hollow Park
This wonderful, family-oriented park and playground is located just off Peeler Road and is our club’s latest undertaking. We planted hundreds of daffodil bulbs for a great spring showing and have also put many perennials around the park sign. Check out our amazing coneflowers and the tiny free library maintained by one of our members.
The Dunwoody Garden Club makes annual donations to the Dunwoody Nature Center, Master Gardener projects at both Brook Run Park and Dunwoody Nature Center, Dunwoody Preservation Trust, Atlanta and State Botanical Gardens, The Garden Club of Georgia Scholarship program for students studying horticulture, Georgia DOT Highway Beautification Program and many other worthy causes. In the past, we have supported local elementary school garden projects and Dunwoody Nature Center pollinator gardens at local schools. We also work with the Dunwoody Police Department’s Christmas for Kids as well as donations to the Community Assistance Center’s Food Pantry. The DGC also funded the flagpole, flag and plantings for the flag installation at Dunwoody’s new City Hall on Ashford Dunwoody Road. | [

Childhood Exposure to Flame Retardants, Pesticides Are Major Contributors to Cognitive Loss: Study
Flame retardants and pesticides use in many common household products now appear to be a leading cause of intellectual disability among children, following years of decline in problems linked to poisoning from lead, mercury and other heavy metals.
In a study published this week by the medical journal Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology, researchers at the New York University School of Medicine indicate that pesticides and flame retardants may be the main source of contaminants causing cognitive loss among more than a million children, leading to a drop in IQ points over a 16 year period.
Researchers studied the effects of certain chemicals in everyday household products on cognition in children. They analyzed polybrominated biphenyl ethers (PBDEs), which are used as flame retardants, organophosphates, lead, and methyl-mercury levels in samples of blood from women of child-bearing age and 5-year olds.

The study analyzed data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys and data from known exposure-disease relationships to estimate the annual number of IQ points lost. They also quantified the intellectual disability medical costs.
According to the findings, nearly 1.2 million children were affected with some form of intellectual disability from 2001 to 2016 as a result of exposure to chemicals like pesticides and PBDEs.
IQ points dropped from 27 million points in 2001 to 2002 down to 9 million IQ points in 2015 to 2016. Furthermore, the proportion of cognitive loss resulting from exposure to the chemicals increased from 67% to 81% during the same study period.
PBDE exposure was the greatest contributor to intellectual disability burden, resulting in 162 million IQ points lost and 738,000 cases of intellectual disability.
Side effects from mercury and lead were prominent, but on the decline overall. Researchers speculate that may be because of decades of restrictions on heavy metals. However, pesticides and PBDEs have significantly fewer restrictions.
The study indicates childhood exposures to the chemicals cost the country more than $7.5 trillion in lost economic productivity and medical costs.
PBDEs and pesticides are endocrine disrupting chemicals known to cause neurodevelopment toxicity. However, the chemicals are widely used in consumer products and found in items like furniture upholstery, electronics, plastics, gymnastic equipment, even tuna fish. The chemicals can build up in the body and cause damage to the organs.
Additionally, heavy metals can disrupt brain and kidney function. Research has shown PBDE chemicals can interfere with thyroid function causing thyroid disease and can lead to thyroid cancer. Studies also link exposure during pregnancy to increased risk of preterm birth.
PBDEs has been found in household dust, the food supply and breast milk samples. More than 90% of adults and children have high levels of PBDE flame retardants in their bodies.
Researchers recommend consumers try to avoid using products manufactured with these chemicals. Additionally, frequently opening windows can let persistent chemicals from furniture, electronics, and carpeting escape. They advised eating organic produce and reducing toxin exposure as much as possible.
According to the researchers, this new study is the only long-term neurological investigation of this kind focusing on pesticides and PBDE flame retardant chemicals.

Well, after an eventful Oulton Park and the first 3 rounds of the Ginetta GT5 Challenge I was looking for the complete opposite for the next three races at Rockingham.
Having shaken the car down for the first time on a drizzly March test day and raced there in 2010 in my first ever car race I haven’t really driven Rockingham at all! However it is a track I enjoy as apart from the banking which is a unique and awesome element to the track you don’t get much time to relax around the twisty infield with lots of places to dive up the inside of someone.
Myself and the NDS SV21 team started the meeting Saturday with a bit of uncertainty we had a pretty oversteery car at the twisty Rockingham and made some setup changes which were a bit of a gamble but by the end of the day we were happy with the balance of the car going into the additional free practice session and Qualifying on the Sunday.
Sunday confirmed that we were on the ball by a brace of 3rd positions in free practice and for both of the first 2 races. A few tenths behind P2 but Will Burns with new tires had the car completely hooked up and was streaks ahead of the rest. The battle it seemed would be for who came 2nd!
The first race started well, the front 4 all got a very even jump and all were extremely even going into the first corner demonstrating how even the Ginetta GT5 cars have been prepared! But starting on the inside line meant I was able to sneak up the inside of 2nd place Bailey and go with Burns over the first few laps to pull a gap. It was an uneventful race from then on as I controlled the gap to the cars behind to bring the car home for my first Ginetta podium in 2nd, I was very pleased to finally reward the team with some silverware are not driving well at Oulton!
Having stayed with Burns over the first few laps it gave me an opportunity to watch my video back to try and see how he was gaining so much time over the rest of the field. Having confirmed I was quicker in the midfield my time was being lost on the exit of the last chicane all the way to the first hairpin. We picked things out to try in the warm up Monday morning.
It’s fair to say Monday mornings warm up didn’t go to plan… back on older tires I took a few laps to warm them up, then exiting the final chicane going onto my first flyer I dropped in luckily just managing to stop before rear ending the wall. So took the next lap easier out of there, then finishing the lap trying what we observed the night before I slid out too wide and hit the concrete wall with the rear right wheel damaging the wishbones and hub. Not ideal. If I had completed my first flying lap I would have been right with the fast guys who set their laps later on in the session. So I wasn’t too worried however was disappointed to have damaged the car. Lucky for me I have the best, hardest working mechanics in the paddock; Steve, Jack and Patrick quickly assessed the situation and worked brilliantly to get the car repaired with time to spare for the 2nd race starting 3rd. Massive thanks to them!
Race 2 of the weekend started well as this time I got a great start and went to the outside of the first corner and slotted in 2nd again behind Burns. Burns, Myself and Basey-Fisher broke away from the field behind over the first 3 laps with Basey-Fisher just starting to put me under pressure for 2nd when on lap 3 my brake pedal went long on the stop into the first hairpin which made me think I need to tell Steve when I finish the race, however next lap the same again but much earlier meaning I couldn’t stop the car, luckily I took to the oval, did a quick U turn and dropped to 5th when returning to the track. I knew now that it would be a survival issue. So I nursed the car back as well as I could to finish 5th on the road, but 8th on the amended results as I was 1 of 5 to get a jumpstart penalty and an exceeding track limits penalty. It couldn’t have got much worse but I finished in the points!
Race 3 I was pretty fired up after the disappointments of the day so far and wanted to pull off a decent result from P8… and I believe I did! After getting a great start off the lights making up 2 positions, I box boxed in on the way into turn 1. Being on the inside I made up 1 more position then on the exit I was side by side with Bailey and managed to undercut him on the exit of Yentwood up the hill and then lunged Richards into Kirby later that lap. A great start straight into P3!

The Jewish Community Center has had the smarts to schedule a new documentary that was originally scheduled to be screened at the Angelika before it closed. I first heard about A FILM UNFINISHED when I caught the middle of Kenneth Turan’s rave NPR review, and rushed to the website to find out which film he was talking about.
Many other critics, scholars and audience members have added their admiration to the achievements of this sobering documentary that reveals how the Nazis staged dramatic scenes of Jews living in the Warsaw ghetto, with this footage viewed for decades as historically accurate. The people who appeared in the film were forced to participate, and most were eventually sent to concentration camps.
As the film’s website states: “At the end of WWII, 60 minutes of raw film, having sat undisturbed in an East German archive, was discovered. Shot by the Nazis in Warsaw in May 1942, and labeled simply "Ghetto," this footage quickly became a resource for historians seeking an authentic record of the Warsaw Ghetto. However, the later discovery of a long-missing reel complicated earlier readings of the footage. A FILM UNFINISHED presents the raw footage in its entirety, carefully noting fictionalized sequences (including a staged dinner party) falsely showing "the good life" enjoyed by Jewish urbanites, and probes deep into the making of a now-infamous Nazi propaganda film. A FILM UNFINISHED is a film of enormous import, documenting some of the worst horrors of our time and exposing the efforts of its perpetrators to propel their agenda and cast it in a favorable light.”
The film screens three times: tonight (Thursday) at 7:30, tomorrow (Friday) at 1:00, and Saturday at 8:00 p.m. Screenings are in Kaplan Theater, located inside the JCC at 5601 S. Braeswood, Houston 77098. (713) 729-3200 | [

Embraer has handed over all six A-29 Super Tucano aircraft ordered by the Philippine Air Force (PAF) at Clark Air Base on Oct. 14.
“The Philippine Air Force takes pride in welcoming the six A-29B Super Tucano from Embraer Defense and Security into the blue fold of our skies as part of our fleet. The addition of these close air support aircraft is a great leap in our air power capability as we soar together in our flight to a more capable and credible Air Force for the nation and its people,” Lieutenant General Allen T. Paredes AFP, Commanding General of the Philippine Air Force.
“It is an honour to deliver these six A-29 Super Tucanos to The Philippine Air Force,” said Jackson Schneider, President and CEO of Embraer Defense & Security. “Delivering an aircraft amidst a global pandemic is challenging, but we were committed to go the extra mile every step of the way to have the aircraft in the hands of PAF to fulfil their security missions.”
The first four Super Tucanos arrived at Clark Air Base on Sept. 19 and the remaining two arrived on Oct. 1. The PAF Super Tucanos will be deployed for close air support (CAS), light attack, surveillance, air-to-air interception, counter-insurgency (COIN) missions, advanced training and are part of PAF’s ongoing modernization plan.
The new aircraft will enhance the Philippine Air Force’s CAS capabilities and complement, and eventually replace, the remaining North American Rockwell OV-10 “Bronco” attack aircraft used by the service in strike missions. The new aircraft are assigned to PAF’s 15th Strike Wing.
The Philippines ordered six A-29 Super Tucano aircraft from Brazilian aircraft manufacturer Embraer (Empresa Brasiliera de Aeronáutica) in 2017 under the Revised Armed Forces of the Philippines Modernization Program (AFPMP). The contract for the six aircraft was worth PHP4.968 billion (~USD102 million).
The A-29B Super Tucano aircraft is designed for light attack, close air support (CAS), counter-insurgency (COIN), and aerial reconnaissance missions in low threat environments. Additionally, the aircraft is designed to operate in high temperature and humidity conditions in extremely rugged terrain similar to the Philippines’ operational environment.
To date, the Super Tucano was selected by 15 air forces worldwide. | [

With the explosion of capacity demands driven by the Internet, optical networking systems are experiencing tremendous growth and are providing increasingly high transmission capacities. As importantly, with the advent of the optical amplifier and wavelength division multiplexing (WDM), optics is playing a larger role in networking and is extending further to the edge of the network. Once limited to long-haul point-to-point systems, Lucent Technologies is now commercializing multipoint metro WDMdoi:10.1002/bltj.2214 fatcat:jbu2q5suung7loqm7y2hcxaiwi | [

Climate change continues to intensify extreme weather events, such as wildfires and hurricanes, leading to the temporary or even permanent displacements of populations. These events, compounded by disruptions to infrastructure, employment, and social ties, can severely hinder access to healthcare, resulting in long-term health implications.
A pivotal challenge in addressing these issues lies in the fragmented storage of valuable data across private and public sectors.
In a published case report in the Journal of Climate Change and Health, the CrisisReady team presents its framework for integrating novel data into emergency preparedness, response, and recovery models. Through two case studies, the report outlines CrisisReady’s methods of accessing, analyzing, and translating novel data, such as anonymized location data from cell phones, in response contexts while maintaining a balance between data security and public health utility.
One standout tool, ReadyMapper, exemplifies the framework by providing real-time information of population mobility, baseline community vulnerabilities, and health system capacity. This tool has been deployed during an array of natural disasters and humanitarian crises, from hurricanes in the United States to floods in Libya.
Central to CrisisReady’s approach is the Data-Methods-Translational framework, a model emphasizing collaboration with policymakers and response agencies. Its adaptability and focus on real-world application position it as a crucial asset for formulating evidence-based strategies, ensuring public health remains safeguarded as we navigate the challenges of climate change.
The Data Readiness, Methods Readiness, and Translational Readiness models are described below.
To address the health impacts of disasters, comprehensive data is essential. This includes information on human mobility, medical vulnerabilities, infrastructure, and hazard specifics like fire zones or flood areas.
While private corporations own some of this data, such as mobility data or satellite images, other critical datasets rest with federal agencies but aren’t easily accessible to local responders. Gaining real-time access to these varied data sources can be a complex process, often needing lengthy negotiations and trust-building among scientists, tech companies, response agencies, and the communities involved.
CrisisReady’s reports and tools draw from multiple data sources, both public and private. Securing this data involves pre-established agreements to ensure that the necessary data flows are in place during disasters. However, these datasets aren’t always compatible or easily usable. Making them work together requires specialized processing. CrisisReady’s collaborative approach involves data scientists, legal professionals, and public health experts to ensure data is used ethically, prioritizing both individual privacy and public health benefits.
Using data to make decisions requires a thorough evaluation of the source. For instance, mobility data from tech giants like Mapbox, Cuebiq, and Meta are influenced by the users of specific apps and devices. Such data might not always be a true representation of the wider population due to potential biases.
Ensuring the accuracy and relevance of this data requires a multi-faceted approach. At CrisisReady, we collaborate with a diverse group of experts, ranging from public health professionals and data scientists to humanitarian responders. We also consider the firsthand experiences of those affected by disasters and the professionals responding to them. This helps us decide what kind of information to provide, its purpose, and its audience.
By actively involving stakeholders, including impacted communities, we ensure our methods and tools are fit for purpose. Addressing potential issues before a disaster strikes enables us to communicate more effectively and transparently during crises.
Translational readiness is about ensuring that valuable data and insights are not just technically accurate but also practically usable in real-world situations. Even the best analysis can fall short if those in the field find it unfamiliar or hard to use.
To make data insights more actionable, the CrisisReady team actively includes end-users throughout the development process. By doing this, it is ensured that the team’s analytic tools meet the needs of the people who rely on them. It’s not just about creating tools but making sure they can be effectively integrated into decision-making.
This has also led the CrisisReady to work closely with potential users, refining our tools based on their feedback. Additionally, we’ve fostered partnerships with academic institutions, governmental bodies, and response agencies. Through joint efforts like workshops and training sessions, we aim to expand the capabilities of all involved, from introducing new analytical methods to embedding mobility data into national disaster planning.

This is the custom made communication device that has produced amazing results for spirit communication and is now available to the public in a very small handheld version.
Like a traditional spirit/ghost box, the PICO sweeps through radio stations, however this is the first line of spirit boxes ever to do a random sweep using an analog radio and an intelligent motor. A random code we created controls the sweeping of the channels on the radio. By taking measurements of surrounding environmental readings, the on board computer then takes those readings and changes the code that controls the sweep speed. The PICO never gets boring as you never know what it will produce.
- The Pico has a volume control, am/fm switch and a line out so you can use on any processor or portal. The Pico does not need an external speaker as it is loud enough for everyone in a room to hear clearly.
- Random sweep speed and direction. The randomization code we have written controls the PICO based off internal sensors taking measurements from outside the unit. After it takes a measurement it will randomly change stations by speeding up, slowing down, turning right turning left and everything in between.
- Turn the PICO on with the switch on the rear and listen to the communication, its that easy.
-Uses four AA batteries (not included) that last about 2-3 hours. MUST use rechargeable batteries or very high current brand. If cheap batteries are use it will not sweep though the stations. We have rechargeables on our site it needed.
- While Paranologies Test’s all its equipment with actual Paranormal Team’s with good results, this is in no way proof of detecting anything Paranormal. Any sensor used for a Paranormal Investigation can and will false. It is up to the User of the sensor to use control testing while looking for intelligent patterns before it may be deemed Paranormal.
- All of our items are custom items that are hand built when ordered unless you order Rush shipping. Rush shipping items are pre-built and ready to ship. Rush shipping items are not guaranteed for International orders.
- We do NOT offer refunds for any reason. We have a lifetime warranty on parts and labor with the exception of cracked LCD screens. If an item is taken apart the warranty is immediately voided and we will not repair at any cost.
- All images/video’s of our design’s are subject to change without notice. Features and specifications of the products may differ slightly from those shown and listed on this site. If you receive an Item that differs from our site, it is an improvement to the product and the newest version available. We are constantly striving to improve our products by gathering data from our Focus groups and our independent Investigations.

After an initial welcome with open arms to the Dallas and national music scene, complete with tours and accolades, reality took a sharp curve for Jonathan Tyler and his band. A lawsuit leading to a name change, fallout with the bands former label and heavy drinking left an uncertain future for Tyler. With their third release, Holy Smokes, Tyler, 30, and his band have turned a corner, creating an energetic and positive record.
They perform Thursday at Gradys 66 Pub, 444 W. Main St., in Yukon.
Expectations for Holy Smokes, Tylers first album since 2010s Pardon Me and third overall, could easily have been akin to a blues rock version of Becks Sea Change, a work focusing on the woes of the recent past. However, Tyler offered up a record sounding like an artist breaking free of chains and smiling while shrugging off the weight.
Its just life itself. Different experiences, he said when asked about the comparison between his last two albums.
To get to the origin of Tyler and his bands sound, one must go to his childhood.
The Alabama native was introduced to the guitar at age 13 by way of a surprise gift from his parents.
I got a guitar for Christmas and started playing with other kids in the neighborhood, he said.
He began writing songs the following years. Being the mid-1990s, the rock music landscape differed from Tylers current love and output, which is bluesy rock with hints of soul and country. Alternative acts Green Day and Weezer, both early influences on the guitarist, were new names then. However, it is the music of the Deep South that has had the largest effect on his songwriting.
I grew up on Southern rock, Lynyrd Skynyrd and stuff like that, he said.
It is this style, with a dash of soul and pop sensibility, that is injected into Tylers music. The twang of Fender Telecasters, metallic ascending and descending notes of guitar slides and droning organs are no strangers, a stark contrast to anything in Green Days catalogue.
The band developed in Dallas in early 2007 with its initial lineup including guitarist Brandon Pinckard, drummer Jordan Cain and bassist Nick Jay. Cain and Jay are both native Oklahomans. In May, soulternative singer Emotion Brown joined the group, and by the end of July, they released their first album, the independent Hot Trottin. At the time, the act was named Jonathan Tyler and the Northern Lights.
The band paid its dues with nonstop touring and promotion, selling Hot Trottin at shows while making use of YouTube and Myspace to showcase music. The freshman effort led to critical praise and attention.
Excitement kept building. Soon, the members found themselves opening for acts such as Erykah Badu, The Black Crowes and Cross Canadian Ragweed. The band signed to F-Stop Music, a subsidiary of Atlantic Records, in 2008.
The momentum swelled into 2010 with the release of its second album, Pardon Me. The record received positive reviews while media exposure soared. The band performed on the ABC late night talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live! and found its music appearing on Boardwalk Empire and Friday Night Lights. ESPN used the song Young & Free throughout the 2010 college football season.
Accolades came following the exposure. The Dallas Observer Music Awards named Tyler Best Male Artist while the former hyperlocal Dallas-Fort Worth news site Pegasus News named them Top Artist of 2010.
The band played Bonnaroo Music Festival and South By Southwest and toured with Robert Randolph and the Family Band, ZZ Top and others.
After 2010, the environment began to change. Jay left the band and was replaced by Chase McGillis. Later, an unexpected lawsuit caused Tyler to drop Northern Lights from its band name.
An attorney out of Minnesota hit us up and was like, I had a band in the Seventies called the Northern Lights. So you cant use this, or well sue you. But then later he came back to us and said, OK, you can use it but its going to be 50 grand, Tyler said in an August story from Rolling Stone Country.
They did not have $50,000 to spare, so currently, the act is known as Jonathan Tyler. Following this setback, it became entangled in a power struggle with Atlantic Records. The label wanted full control over who would produce the band and what songs would be on the third album.
Tyler balked at the plan and parted ways with the label, which led to alcohol abuse.
I was broken, Id lost my confidence, he told Rolling Stone. I had to find a way to make it enjoyable again and get some gratification.
He financed the studio time himself by playing shows constantly for months. The result is a record made exactly how he wants it.

While I wanted Kate Beckinsale to have darker makeup to offset the beauty of her reptilian Armani Privé gown at the ‘Total Recall’ LA premiere, her makeup artist Molly R. Stern gave her a serpent-goddess look which she describes as “edgy and undone while still looking flawless for a big Hollywood night out.”
Molly started by prepping Kate’s skin with Jurlique Rose Water Balancing Mist, then she prepped her skin for foundation by using By Terry Serum De Rose plus Arcona Eye Dew which is ideal under eye shadow and which hydrates and smoothes the area.
For her skin Molly used Chantecaille Future Skin Foundation for a sheer finish.
For her eyes Molly based the lid with NYX Cream Shadow in Gunmetal and then brightened the shade by dusting the olive-green shadow from YSL 5 Colour Harmony for Eyes in Garden of Eden all over the lid up to the crease.
Next Molly popped the inside of her lid with Beauty is Life Perfect Shine Eyes in Palmery. To define Kate’s lash line, Hourglass Calligraphy Black Eyeliner was applied as a base and then she topped that off with Glam Liner Aqua Luxe by NYX in #08, which is a golden olive colour.
Kate’s lash line was lined underneath with the same olive liner to get a smudgy finish to ensure it lasted all night. Lashes were curled with Shu Uemura lash curler with two coats of Laura Mercier Full Blown Volume Lash Building Mascara. | [

Handsfree headphones are an important addition for people who are constantly on the move to keep their hands free. Meizu has also considered this issue with the launch of its wireless Bluetooth handsfree.
Meizu BH01 CSR 4.1 Bluetooth is extremely light, approximately 8.7 grams, and with a sophisticated classic design. The head is made of strong aluminum alloy material and the body is made of polycarbonate. This plastic is durable and long lasting. The silicone material of the tips is very soft and fits snugly in the ear, which provides stability when worn.
The Meizu BH01 headset is very reliable, it can work in the range from -15 degrees to +45 degrees Celsius. Qualcomm’s CSR8615 chip provides high compatibility, very fast and stable connection and high transmission speed, and in combination with cVc noise reduction technology we get excellent sound quality.
Another plus is that the handset only needs to be connected to the mobile device once. It then makes the connection automatically. Meizu BH01 has the ability to be shared between 2 different mobile devices at once.
Management is very easy – with a multifunction button with which you can answer calls, close, stop, play and change songs. However, its main function is hands-free, it is not very suitable for listening to music, as it lacks low frequencies. The built-in 180mAh lithium-ion battery charges in just an hour and a half, after which the user gets up to 5 hours of talk time and up to 168 hours of standby time. | [

The relatively short-lived 19th century brought refined foods to humanity, which led to the first artificially created health problems. So, polished, over-refined rice led to massive vitamin deficiency in Asian countries, diabetes and atherosclerosis began to actively develop due to refined sugar, and refining vegetable oil significantly reduced the nutritional value of the product.
Nowadays, the underlying danger comes from the rapid development of biotechnology, it destroys the genetic foundations of the health of not only humans, but also of all natural ecological systems.
Genetically modified foods cause people with massive allergic diseases, cancer and many new little-known diseases.
It all started with the fact that in the middle of the last century, the English scientists Francis Crick and James Watson made a fateful discovery: all information about the future structure of the body is stored in DNA - the center of the cell nucleus. Immediately the assumption arose that by changing individual genes, it is possible to change the general signs of living organisms.
In 1979, scientists for the first time were able to isolate the gene responsible for the synthesis of insulin in humans, and "embedded" it into the genetic code of E. coli, after which it began to synthesize insulin on its own. So the first genetically modified organisms appeared - GMOs.
It takes years of work and millions of dollars to create each new plant with altered genetics. They are produced using the gene gun, which “shoots” with a special set: a gene with the desired trait, a gene that launches the previous gene, and a special marker gene. If a set of such genes takes root, then the cells germinate into a new plant.
The flagship of genetic engineering has become the United States. So, in 1994 there was grown a tomato with a deep-sea flounder gene. These genetically modified foods can be stored for a long time, remaining green, and in the heat they become sharply rich red.
Currently, more than a hundred lines of transgenic plants are grown in the world economy, including technical varieties of cotton and tobacco. The list of products with GMOs is headed by soy - its share in the total production of transgenes is 98%. Followed by corn, beets, canola, potatoes, tomatoes, wheat.
Genetically modified products in the fields are resistant to insect pests and can withstand aggressive chemicals against weeds. So get exceptionally high yields of such plants.
The danger to ecosystems is that the genes embedded in plants can kill not only pests, but also beneficial insects. Moreover, bacteriophages, overactive artificial viruses and plasmids are involved in the process of embedding a foreign gene, which are able to penetrate the cell and get used to it. These transporters also transmit altered genes to normal plants, causing uncontrolled horizontal gene transfer. So there is a change and destruction of entire ecological systems.
Genetically modified products enter the transporter viruses into the human body, integrating into the genome and causing a general instability of the genetic structure. At the same time, a variety of genes are activated, responsible not only for cancer, but also for new unknown diseases. When eating foods with GMOs, a person actually infects himself with extremely aggressive artificial viruses.
Our body perceives the food proteins of genetically modified foods as foreign, i.e. allergenic. For example, soy was created with the Brazil nut gene to improve soy protein. But people who were allergic to Brazil nuts, having tasted this soy, got a very strong allergic reaction, even fatal. Only after a series of dangerous cases, this soybean with GMOs was withdrawn from sale.
Very often, genes that reduce antibiotic sensitivity are used to produce new cultures. In the human body, this causes the rapid growth of pathogenic bacteria, which are extremely resistant to any antibiotics.
In recent years, the world community has begun to realize the real danger of genetically modified foods. Now they are banned for sale in Europe, and manufacturers use them exclusively for sale in third world countries. The only pros remaining for such companies were large yields and the slogan “Genetic engineering will save the world from hunger”. However, this statement remains a myth, since the problem of hunger is not solved by additional production, but by the correct distribution of food products.
Therefore, be attentive to your diet, do not destroy your body at the genetic level, because even the ancient Greeks knew: "We are what we eat." | [

The efficacy of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in the treatment and healing of chronic tendinopathy through stimulation of cell proliferation and total collagen production has been demonstrated by both in vitro and in vivo studies. The aim of this study is to evaluate
the effectiveness of ultrasound (US)-guided autologous PRP injections in patellar and Achilles tendinopathy.
Materials and methods:
Autologous PRP was injected under US-guidance into the Achilles and patellar tendons (30 Achilles tendons, 28 patellar tendons) in 48 prospectively selected patients (30 males, 18 females, mean age 38 16 years, range 20e61 years). All patients were previously evaluated according to the Victoria Institute of Sport Assessment (VISA) scale, which assessed pain and activity level, and they all underwent US of the tendon before treatment and at follow-up after 20 days and 6 months. Statistical analysis was performed with Chi-square and Wilcoxon tests.
20 days after PRP injection the patients presented a non-significant improvement of clinical symptoms. At the 6-month follow-up VISA score increased from a mean value of 57 e75.5 (p <.01). US evaluation revealed a reduction of hypoechoic areas in 26 tendons
(p <.01) associated with a widespread improvement of fibrillar echotexture of the tendon and reduced hypervascularity at power Doppler.
PRP injection in patellar and Achilles tendinopathy results in a significant and lasting improvement of clinical symptoms and leads to recovery of the tendon matrix potentially helping to prevent degenerative lesions. US-guidance allows PRP injection into the tendon with great accuracy. | [

1,978,204 PRooE'ss OF SEPARATING RUBBER FROM METAL IN A COMPOSITE ARTICLE Filed. May 16, 1954 INVENTOR I ATTORNEYS Patented a. 23, 1934 UNITED STATES PROCESS OF SEPARATING RUBBER FROM METAL IN.A COMPOSITE ARTICLE Roy J. Hurt, Clarendon Hills, Ill. 7 Application May 16, 1934, Serial N0. 725,890
It is common practice in the manufacture of many articlessuch as automobiles, tires, airplanes, refrigerators, etc., to harden or curerubber directly onto apiece of metal by the use of heat orheat and pressure, so that the two materials become 5i board of an automobile. Such aboard often comprises a metal stamping covered with a layer of rubber which has been bondedthereto during the curing process. In the making of tires it is common practice to employ a curing bag to hold the tire in shape during the curing of the rubber.
This curing bag is made of rubber and has a metal valve molded or bonded thereto. The rubber inthis curing bag is only good for a certain number of operations after which it must be renewed. It is desirable under these conditions to separate the metal valve from the rubber bag and at the same time salvage both the rubber and the valve.
In order to recover the metal portions of the composite articles, it has been the custom to burn the rubber away from the metal, but this destroys the rubber and sometimes injuries the metal parts.
One object of the present invention is to provide a process for easily separating the rubber 5", and metal components of a composite article of the character described, in such a manner that these materials can be salvaged.
In carrying out the present invention, the composite article is treated to an extremely low tem- -5 perature. The metal contracts to a difiering extent than does the rubber. At the same time the rubber becomes frozen into a brittle condition. Thus the metal draws away from the rubber sufficiently to permit the rubber to be easily removed 4 from the metal, or permits the rubber to be more 5 composite article is subjected to the action of a liquefied or solidifier gas, either by direct immersion therein or direct contact therewith, or by subjecting it to the gases as they are driven ofi, and while said gases are at extremely low tem- 55- perature. The gas used is one having a very low boiling or subliming temperature at atmospheric pressure, such as air,oxygen, nitrogen,'carbon dioxide and the like. Y
The manner in which my process is carried out depends on the character of the composite article go to be salvaged. In certain cases, for instance, where the contacting or bonded surfaces between the rubber and metal are somewhat regular, the composite'article may be treated with the cold gases thatare'evaporated from the liquid. In cases where the surfaces between the rubber and metal of the article are more intricate, it may-be necessary to immerse the article in the liquefied gasitself.
1 In certain processes it has been found advan- 7o tageous to precool the composite article to be salvagedby subjecting it to the gases given- 01f from the liquefied gas, while said gases arestill at extremely low temperature, and then immersing itinto the bath of liquefied gas. r Inthe accompanying drawing, there is shown for the purpose of illustration, a somewhat diagrammatic vertical section through an apparatus which may be used for carrying out my invention.
In the apparatus shown, there is provided a container 10 adapted to receive a body of liquefied gas A which may be any of the gases stated which are liquid or solid only at extremely low temperatures at atmospheric pressure. This container may be insulated if desired, and open at the top as shown. Surrounding this container 10 is a large open-top container 11 forming with the peripheral wall of said container 10 an article receiving space 12. This outer container 11 may also be insulated, if desired.
In carrying out my process, the composite articles to be treated are placed in the space 12 between the peripheral walls of the containers 10 and 11. The gases given off by the liquefied gas A, being extremely cold, will be heavier than the surrounding air and will flow downwardly into the space 12 and into intimate contact with the composite articles disposed therein.
In certain cases according to the character of the composite article to be treated, the metal 10b parts will shrink suificiently from the rubber and the rubber will be sufiiciently frozen by this treatment so that the rubber may be separated from the metal without immersing the article in the liquefied gas. | [

The archaeological manifestation of a system of strip cultivation that was widely used in England during medieval times. Fields (typically two or three in each settlement) were divided into groups of strips (furlongs) that were each ploughed separately (lands) by turning the soil towards the centre. This had the effect of creating raised areas separated by troughs or furrows, the whole having a marked S‐shaped form in plan with headlands for turning the plough at either end. When cultivation ceased, the corrugated effect was fossilized in the landscape, especially if the land was put down to grass. Some of the best‐preserved ridge and furrow is to be found in the south midland counties of England, especially Oxfordshire, Bedfordshire, Warwickshire, and Northamptonshire. The width of the ridges preferred seems to vary between regions, while dates for ridge and furrow range from the immediate post‐Roman period through to the 17th century ad.

Five times stronger than steel, spider silk`s unique qualities were recognized by the Ancient Greeks
Now, one Japanese startup, Spiber, is exploring how spider webs could transform the textile industry. The biotech company started by making a spider silk replica in the lab and has since spun out its fabric range to include more sustainable alternatives to wool, cashmere and denim. Kenji Higashi (Head of business development at Spiber)
This proves that theory can be actively inspired and applied into goods that can be used by many people. In the past, scientists often underestimated that their theory of spider webs was a hoax because it was thought to be more powerful than reading.
Namun kin perusahaan dari Jepang dengan trademarked fiber, Brewed Protein, has been used in limited edition collections with brands including Japanese streetwear label Sacai and outdoor apparel specialists The North Face Japan. Currently scaling up production and getting ready for a full commercial launch of its textiles, Spiber hopes its technology will help to “solve some of the big global challenges that we’re facing,” says Higashi.
Spiders create webs by spinning liquid protein into silk. Although silkworms have been bred to produce silk for thousands of years, spiders are cannibals which makes them impossible to farm. Spiber studied “thousands of different spider species,” as well as other silkproducing species, and compiled a database of silk varieties – Higashi.
Having successfully produced the spider silk alternative, the team went on to develop a range of Brewed Protein fabrics by altering the protein sequence – Higashi. Spiber’s fibers are made by fermenting water, sugar and nutrients with specially modified microbes in steel tanks, similar to those used in beer making, to produce protein polymers.
The polymers are fed through a nozzle and spun into a fiber, says Higashi. It took four years “to produce a garment that met their standards,” says Higashi. The parkas retailed for ¥150,000 (worth around $1,400 in 2019) and sold out. Namun ini adalah harga yang pantas untuk sebuah innovasi yang dapat diapresiasi oleh para penggemar fashion dan pengetahuan.
Fashion is one of the most polluting industries in the world. It produces around 2.1 billion metric tons of CO2 every year, according to management consultants McKinsey & Company. Around 70% of that comes from production textiles. Spiber wants to reduce its environmental impact further, though.
The company currently uses sugarcane and corn for its fermentation process — crops that use large volumes of land and divert food resources Higashi. To solve this problem, Spiber is developing a process called the “biosphere cycle” that converts waste clothing made from natural materials such as cotton into sugar. Approximately 40 million tonnes of textile waste is generated each year, most of which is dumped in landfills and incinerators.
Continuing to circulate these fibers, Mr. Higashi says, more sustainable alternatives can be created. We hope that this momentum can be used to encourage scientists and developers to become more creative in developing new products in the future. | [

Spring Flowers and The Spring Garden
Spring into action now if you haven't already! Get your spring garden chores done early in spring and it will determine the success of your garden in the next 6 months. So get out of hibernation mode and get digging!
Spring garden general maintenance chores
Every gardener will tell you that there are general maintenance chores in the garden that are required come spring. These are the main ones that I perform each spring :
Mulching - spring is a great time to collect your much needed supply of mulch that is essential for the hot summer months ahead. Straw is great as is animal manure (poultry for vegetables, horse or cow manure for more general ornamental flowers), grass clippings and newspapers too.
Compost - whilst you're collecting your materials for mulch, why not start a compost heap? Spring is the ideal time to start one as the weather warms up and time it takes for organic materials speeds up. Allocate an area down the rear of your garden and start adding the layers - vegetable peelings, tea leaves, grass clippings, shredded newspaper. Add some manure, comfrey, borage and lime to speed up the process. Turn the heap occasionally to aerate (handy compost aerator is a lifesaver and makes the task of turning a breeze). There's really no excuse not to get started with composting no matter how small - we have enough landfill as it is. Just get a ready made tumbler and start cooking nature's best free fertilizer - your garden will love you for it! Read more about compost.
|Tumbling Compost Mixer|

Our fastest batch composter High-performance model This oversize item has an additional $15 shipping charge Please note: This item cannot be shipped outside the lower 48 states via standard shipping. Load it up and tumble every few days, and you can have finished compost in five weeks or less.
|Compost Tumbler Aeration Screen|
Sometimes a batch of compost needs extra oxygen to balance moisture content and increase aeration. Now you can fine-tune the process by replacing the solid door on your Compost Tumbler with this slide-in screen. Improves aeration to speed up composting Screen fits our Compost Tumbler Powder-coated steel 8-3/4" x 27" with 3/8" x 3/4" mesh Gardener's Supply Exclusive.
Watering - you will probably need to water deeply on a weekly basis now. Deep watering will encourage deep root growth which is essential for great plants, flowers and trees. Adequate watering now in spring will ensure that your garden is prepared for the hot months ahead. Watering cans are a must in every garden - is it time to upgrade your old one?
Take cuttings of your favorite plants like asters, gerberas and marguerite daisies in early spring and you'll have free new plants!
Mowing the lawn - With the warmer spring weather, your lawn which would've been lying dormant would suddenly take on a life of its own! Regular mowing, feeding and weeding now will ensure that all those lawn games in summer will be a treat rather than a threat.
Pruning and cleaning up the garden is another spring time chore. This is especially true for fruit trees, prune them after they finish flowering. Stone fruit trees like peaches should be cut back quite hard whilst apple and pear trees require thinning of fruit spurs to prevent overcrowding of the fruit.
Spring flowers in the garden
If there is something that heralds spring's arrival it has to be the flowers and the sheer abundance of the blooms is enough to cheer those winter blues away. In areas where the last frost is over, it is safe to start planting out seedlings of summer flowers. A few of my favorite flowers are asters, petunias, verbenas, gladioli, sweet peas. Or plant those spring bulbs in time for the summer display!
Tiarella - Spring Symphony

Lobster pots, fishing nets and a car gearbox among the haul.
Divers volunteer to clean up coastline
DUBAI // Discarded lobster pots, fishing nets and a car gearbox were among the items a team of 10 volunteer divers cleared out of the sea near the Palm Jumeirah's coastline yesterday.
Helen Sell, the marketing manager for Atlantis Dive School, said the Dive for Debris event had resulted in "a big haul" of items that were harmful to the marine ecosystem.
"Fishermen throw down the nets and they get caught under the reclamation rocks at the edge of the Palm," she said. "They can't bring them up, so they leave them in the water."
She said that 50 or more fish, including some large hammour, had been trapped in the nets and in the lobster pots.
The area off the coast of the Palm is part of an exclusion zone, where fishing is prohibited.
Fishing boats that venture into the zone are often warned off by coastguard vessels.
Ms Sell said the clean-up had yielded more debris than a previous event in January, when 12 people took part.
"Getting them to the surface is the easy part, what's hardest is trying to drag them onto the boat," said Jason Sockett, the general manager of the school.
Last year, the dive school held six such events but plans to increase this to one clean-up a month, partly because of the popularity of the events.
"It's a worthy cause, but the majority of people take part because it's also just a fun day out," said Mr Sockett. | [

Cascabel Working Group
6590 N. Cascabel Road
Benson, AZ 85602
Dear Cascabel Working Group:
You have my permission to publicly display or distribute the following text that I sent 1 August 2007 to the members of the Technical Advisory Committee and State Transportation Board of the Arizona Department of Transportation:
As a clarification of, and in addition to, what I stated on the I-10 Phoenix/Tucson Bypass Study Comment Form, please consider my thoughts about each of ADOTs four purposes of a bypass (quoted from http://tpd.azdot.gov/planning/i10bypass.php).
1. Provide an alternative route to I-10 to relieve traffic congestion in the Tucson and Phoenix metropolitan areas.
Because of the enormous financial, environmental, and social costs involved, bypass routes that cant significantly reduce congestion in both cities should not be considered. ADOTs Existing Traffic Volumes (2005) map shows I-10 traffic within Tucson and Phoenix (137,000 and 297,000 vehicles per day, respectively) to be far greater than the I-10 thru traffic (13,000 vehicles per day; best indicated by the traffic volume east of Bowie). Bypasses that wont closely circumvent these congested urban segments, such as the bypass proposed along the San Pedro, wont be effective. Even if half of the I-10 thru traffic used a San Pedro bypass, Tucsons congestion would decrease by less than 5% (13,000 ÷ 2 ÷ 137,000 X 100% = 4.7%), and that of Phoenix by less than 3% (13,000 ÷ 2 ÷ 297,000 X 100% = 2.2%). Although these calculations are based on 2005 measurements, I would expect the ratio of thru traffic to urban traffic to remain the same or decrease for 2007, 2008, and so on. Therefore, calculations using current or future measurements should show reductions in Tucson and Phoenix congestion that are similar, or even less, than those calculated using the 2005 numbers.
To clarify my reasoning above, the volume east of Bowie (13,000 vehicles per day) includes approximately all of the drivers who would choose to take a San Pedro bypass. Of course, this volume also includes drivers who would not choose to take a San Pedro bypass (e.g., Tucson residents and visitors, truckers with a Tucson or Mexico origin or destination). For my calculations, I liberally assumed that half (13,000 ÷ 2) of the drivers would choose a San Pedro bypass. The greater traffic volumes west of Bowie (14,000; 15,000; and 30,000) probably dont indicate a significant number of additional drivers who would choose to take a San Pedro bypass, since almost all of this additional traffic volume is probably comprised of drivers traveling between southern Arizona locations (e.g., Tucson - Sierra Vista).
2. Provide a shorter, faster east-west route through Arizona that would attract through-trucks and other traffic from I-10.
I have four thoughts about this purpose: 1) Businesses and attractions (truck terminals, Rio Nuevo, etc.) along I-10 want to attract I-10 traffic. 2) Truckers wont be attracted to a route having more curves and hills. 3) There are a great many projects that are far more deserving of Arizonans transportation dollars than a route to get non-residents through our state more quickly. 4) The treasured areas for which Arizona is renowned and loved should not serve as shortcuts for those just passing through.
3. Provide a new route that offers an alternative path for I-10 traffic during construction, maintenance and incidents.
An alternative path is useful only if it closely circumvents the segment of construction, maintenance, or incident. The most congested urban segments of I-10 have the highest probability for incidents and severe traffic disruption. Bypasses far removed from these segments, such as the bypass proposed along the San Pedro, wont be useful.
4. Provide a new east-west transportation corridor in Arizona to serve the expected rapid population growth and land development.
The purpose of any new route should be to facilitate transportation, not development. The route should be justified by proven need (e.g., actual traffic volumes), not speculative prophecy (e.g., traffic forecasts and population projections, which cant account for many important growth-related factors such as drought, water sources, Central Arizona Project allocations, air quality, climate change, energy costs, war, immigration reform, housing market, national debt, education, healthcare, state trust land initiatives, and the loss of Phoenix semiconductor and high-tech manufacturing to overseas facilities). | [

Directed and co-written by Vera Drew, who also stars in the lead role, ‘The People’s Joker’ is set to make its theatrical debut across the United States on April 5, 2024.
As per SlashFilm, this coming-of-age parody superhero film offers a new and provocative take on Joker, reimagined here as a transgender woman exploring her identity in Gotham. The cast includes Scott Aukerman, Tim Heidecker, Maria Bamford, David Liebe Hart, Robert Wuhl, and Bob Odenkirk.
The film draws heavily from the Batman comics for inspiration and critiques the use of corporate intellectual property in cinema while exploring themes of self-acceptance and self-love. Drew, alongside co-writer Bri LeRose, oversees the film’s narrative with a sense of irony and satire, drawing parallels to internet memes and the Adult Swim series, as noted by critics.
‘The People’s Joker’ Initially Received Controversy
Originally premiering on September 13, 2022, at the Toronto International Film Festival, ‘The People’s Joker‘ encountered immediate controversy due to rights issues, leading to the cancellation of planned screenings.
Despite the issues, including a last-minute withdrawal from TIFF purportedly due to legal pressures from Warner Bros. Discovery, owner of DC Comics, Drew persisted. The film eventually secured a release through Altered Innocence, a distributor known for its support for boundary-pushing content.
‘The People’s Joker’ has already received critical acclaim on the festival circuit, with a perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes based on the initial reviews.

'Ehlers Danlos Syndrome'
'What is Ehlers Danlos Syndrome?\nEhlers Danlos Syndrome is a miscellaneous group of connective tissue paper disorders with characteristic skin and vocalise involvement. It is labeled as heterogeneous because it has 6 subcategories. The 6 founts of Ehlers Danlos Syndrome that argon categorized agree to symptoms be Classical, Hypermobility, Vascular, Kyphoscoliosis, Arthrochalasia, Dermatosparaxis, and Tenascin X-Deficient type (3).

All compositions by Howard Riley (PRS / MCPS), except “Lush Life” by Billy Strayhorn. Recorded live at VDU Jazz Festival Kaunas on the 10th November, 2012 by Areas Zujus. "Brilliant work from pianist Howard Riley – the British modernist who's been making amazing music for decades, but often through very obscure records like this! Riley's got this sense of balance, tone, and timing that sits justly in a legacy that starts with Herbie Nichols and runs up through Alexander Von Schlippenbach – and in a solo setting like this, hets one of the few that could hold our attention as rapt as those other two – playing at once in a mode that's very free, but still always surprisingly tuneful, and with a sense of cohesion. The album's a perfect document of everything that makes Riley so great – and titles include "Identification", "From Somewhere", "Dwelling One", and "Understanding". - Dustygroove | [

Katy Perry Booed On American Idol
Last night’s American Idol was…interesting. There was anticipation for who was going home and, of course, Katy Perry performing!
One Idol hopeful was sent home last night, ending their dreams of being crowned the next American Idol. Elise Testone didn’t appear shocked she was in the bottom three, a place she has been several times this season, and she didn’t seem too shocked she was eliminated either.
Unfortunately, with Idol, it doesn’t matter how great your voice is, but it matters how big your fan base is, a prime example is Pia Toscano from last season. That being said, this season of Idol has some of the best talent I’ve ever seen on the show since Kelly Clarkson.
And something else that was shocking was Katy Perry being booed by the crowd! When they would tease her performance during the show the crowd would scream, cheer, and jump with excitement, but why did they boo when her performance actually started?
It was pretaped! Her performance was not live and the crowd was highly disappointed with this. According to E! Online, the people backstage were tossing around telling the crowd during a commercial break that her performance was not going to be live but that it was pretaped.
Ah the joys of live television! At least no one dropped the F bomb or had a wardrobe malfunction. This season of Idol is winding down with only a few weeks left before a new Idol is crowned. Who do you think will be the next American Idol?
See what’s up on JAMZ!

1/16 Battleship Yamato Anchors
15ton main anchor & stern anchor of the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) capital ship YAMATO. Built at Kure shipyard, Hiroshima Japan and launched in 1940, YAMATO weighed over 70,000 tons and needed a massive anchor to hold her steady in rough seas. The 15 ton main anchor was over 5 metres in length and was mounted at the bow. A smaller 3 metre anchor was mounted at the stern. A replica main anchor is installed in Kure City Central Park.
Main anchor height 32.3cm, Stern anchor height 18.6cm | [

A new report published by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) titled “The Economic Consequences of Air Pollution” states that air pollution could be responsible for between 6 to 9 million premature deaths by the year 2060.
Not only will polluted air impact our health, it will also have a detrimental effect on our economy. The OECD study revealed that air pollution could have an economic impact of $2.6 trillion a year by 2060, and could also cause healthcare bills to rise to $176 billion a year from its current level of $21 billion. When presenting the report, the environmental director of OECD, Simon Upton, stated the following:
“The number of lives cut short by air pollution is already terrible and the potential rise in the next few decades is terrifying. If this is not motivation enough to act, this report shows there will also be a heavy economic cost to not taking action. We must prevent these projections from becoming reality.”
In 2010, air pollution was responsible for the premature deaths of 3 million people, and that number will only rise in the future, according to the report. The places most likely to be impacted include China, India, Central Asian countries, and Korea. The OECD report is only one of many reports warning of the dangers of air pollution.
The World Health Organization released a report last month that found that global urban air pollution levels had increased by 8 percent last year. Both the OECD and the World Health Organization reports found that one of the leading contributors to deadly air quality is traffic emissions.
Together, these reports paint a terrifying vision of the future unless action is taken now to reduce air pollution. So how can we improve our air quality now? The answer may be simpler than you think – by introducing cleaner-burning alternative fuels into our market, we can move towards a cleaner future. With such high stakes, it’s important that we act as soon as possible.

The XP-37 was the first attempt to match the existing P-36 (Hawk 75) fighter with a turbo-supercharged Allison liquid cooled inline engine. The P-36 used a radial engine, but all the evidence from Europe suggested that the more streamlined inline engines were going to produce better fighters. The new aircraft was given the designation XP-37 by the USAAF, and Hawk 75-I by Curtiss.
The problem faced by the designers of the XP-37 (and the later P-40) was that although the basic Allison V-1710-11 engine was similar in size to the early Rolls Royce Merlin used in the Hurricane and Spitfire, it needed a turbo-supercharge to achieve similar high altitude performance. The combination of Allison engine and turbosupercharger also took up more space than the radial engine used in the P-36. The designers of the P-36 responded by making two changes to the fuselage of the P-36. First, they added a longer nose, to contain the engine itself. Second, they moved the cockpit to the back of the fuselage, to make space for the radiators required by the liquid cooled engine.
The resulting aircraft was fast. Powered by the Allison V-1710-11 engine, which gave 1,000 hp at 20,000 feet, it became the first American fighter to reach 300 mph in level flight, reaching a top speed of 340 mph. The turbo-supercharger gave the XP-37 much better performance at altitude than the aircraft that replaced it, the P-40. However, the turbo-supercharger was not yet ready for active service.
A bigger problem was the poor visibility caused by the long nose and poor cockpit position. Thirteen service-test YP-37s were ordered, but they did nothing to improve the situation – although the cockpit was moved slightly further forward, the nose was made longer, so the poor visibility remained. The P-37 design was abandoned in favour of the P-40, which had a more traditional cockpit position, and a more reliable supercharger. | [

During the 14th and 15th centuries tiles of many different types were made in Catalonia, among them tiles in relief that we may consider as being for the open air, or to be part of a building. At times they have traces of polychromy added after firing. Although it could not have been a ware as abundant as that of wall tiles, many have been found in different places in Catalonia. On this tile a figure pokes its head out between two branches of what seem like the arms of a star with a face in profile. The clever decorative distribution in the space available and its careful manufacture make this tile a very notable and original piece. There is doubt as to its provenance, as although they have also been found in Valencia, the Renaissance decorative characteristics put it closer to the other contemporary Catalan wares. | [

TFT LCM is a TFT LCD module, TFT means Thin Film Transistor, color display, is currently the most popular and widely used display technology. TFT LCM structure is TFT LCD glass with polarizer, FOG components and LED backlight, frame together. Techopedia Explains Thin Film Transistor Liquid Crystal Displays (TFT LCD).
Thin-film transistor liquid crystal display technology uses “field-effect” transistors, which are constructed by laminating thin films (color filters) on a glass substrate, hence the name. This technique is often used to create microprocessors. TFTs in LCDs control individual pixels in the display by setting the electric field levels across three liquid crystal capacitors in the pixel (one for each subpixel for red, green, and blue) to control the polarization of the liquid crystal display. Crystal material. The amount of polarization in the crystal determines the amount of light that reaches the color filter from the backlight. Due to this ability to directly and quickly control each pixel, TFT is also known as active matrix LCD technology.

One of the biggest countdown milestones for any Disney holiday is the moment that you make your dining reservations. So much of Disney vacation planning depends on what time you’re able to make reservations for.
Anyone who is familiar with the Walt Disney World dining reservation system within the My Disney Experience app or website is usually shocked when the options for booking restaurants in Disneyland Paris are presented to them. Namely, a French telephone number to call rather than any online offering.
Aside from the cost of calling France, many people say they have had communication difficulties due to poor call quality, and not being able to see all available dining options can lead to long calls. Add to that time zones may mean you’re trying to call France at a time you’d ordinarily be tucked up in bed, and it’s easy to see why so many people are frustrated with the experience.
There is a way to book online
The Disneyland Paris website does have the functionality to book restaurants online, however, this is not shown on every country’s version of the website.
The UK, USA and Ireland all lack the ability to book online but there is one English speaking country that can; Australia.
Along the top banner of the Disneyland Paris website is a flag showing the language and country of the website you are currently viewing. On the screenshot below, I was viewing the UK version of the website so had a UK flag showing.
If you click on the flag icon, you can select a different location and will then view that particular country’s website.
Selecting Asia/Pacific and then Australia (as shown below) will reload the Disneyland Paris website and allow you to view the Australian site.
Once you are viewing the Australian site, click on dining and either in the parks, in the hotels or at Disney Village depending on where the restaurant you wish to eat at is located, and the majority of table service restaurants will now have a ‘book a table’ option available for you.
Booking a Table
Booking a table is very straight forward. Simply click on ‘Book a Table’ and then select the date you wish to dine there. If the restaurant is not open on the day you wanted, this will be shown on the calendar.
Once you’ve selected the date, confirm how many people are in your party (including children), and then select ‘Search Times’. The website will check the availability of the restaurant and then present you with a drop down menu of all the times that the restaurant could accommodate your party. Again, if there is no availability this will be stated.
Next, you simply need to enter your personal details that you want the booking to be under. You may be asked to login to the site at this stage. Your login details are the same irrelevant of which country’s website you are viewing.
Once all your personal information has been recorded for the booking, and you have completed the data captcha to confirm you aren’t a robot, simply click on ‘send’.
An email confirmation will be sent to you with all of your restaurant booking information.
Other country websites also allow you to book online, but you may need a translator on your browser to use those. The Dutch, German and Spanish versions of the website also have the facility to book online.

Textbook on Practical Astronomy
by George Leonard Hosmer
Publisher: Wiley 1910
Number of pages: 252
The purpose of this volume is to furnish a text in Practical Astronomy especially adapted to the needs of civil-engineering students who can devote but little time to the subject, and who are not likely to take up advanced study of Astronomy. The text deals chiefly with the class of observations which can be made with surveying instruments, the methods applicable to astronomical and geodetic instruments being treated but briefly.

The European Extremely Large Telescope will address exciting new questions, and this book gives a flavour of the kind of questions that it will finally answer. The most exciting discoveries are probably those that we have not yet even imagined.
by C. Barlow, G. Bryan - University Correspondence College Press
The book fills the gap between the many excellent popular and non-mathematical works on Astronomy, and the standard treatises on the subject, which involve high mathematics. The rudimentary knowledge of Geometry, Algebra, and Trigonometry is assumed.
