Invibio Biomaterial Solutions has released its PEEK-OPTIMA HA Enhanced Polymer.
The enhanced polymer integrates hydroxyapatite into PEEK-OPTIMA Natural grade to provide a homogeneous compound to ensure that hydroxyapatite will be present on all surfaces of the device.
According to a company press release, the enhanced polymer yields excellent mechanical performance, biocompatibility with a modulus similar to cortical bone, reduced stress shielding and a high degree of radiolucency to allow for clear fusion assessment.
“Surgeon feedback has indicated that a version of PEEK that enhances bone ongrowth on all sides of the device could be more effective. Invibio has invested in this new grade that offers the same advantages of PEEK-OPTIMA and additionally a superior solution for bone apposition,” John Devine, emerging business director, stated in a company press release. | [

Come in and join us to explore Glasgow hidden history on Friday 9th Dec 2022 at 01:00pm to 03:00pm.
The trade in enslaved people from Africa and the vast wealth it created in Europe and the Americas is one of the most important episodes in modern world history.
In Glasgow and Scotland, we have been in denial about our role in it for a long time. We’ve known about it all along, but it’s been deliberately hidden. The political situation has changed now though, and we’re being forced to face up to the truth. In particular, Glasgow benefitted economically to an enormous extent – it provided the money that changed Glasgow from a small regional centre into one of the biggest and richest cities in the world. So much of our magnificent architecture was paid directly or indirectly from the enslavement of millions of people.
Our walk will take us around some of the key sites and buildings in the city centre to find out more about this hidden history.
Date and Time: Friday 9th Dec 2022 – 1:00pm to 03:00pm
Meeting Point: George Square – Glasgow War Memorial

If you’re in sales, then you know that the key to success is having a good lead score. But what if there was a way to predict which leads were most likely to convert? That’s where the predictive lead score comes in.
I was recently working with a client who had been using the same lead scoring system for years.And while it had served them well, they were starting to feel like it wasn’t as accurate as it could be.
They brought me on board to see if I could help improve their system. After taking a look at their current setup, I quickly realized that they weren’t utilizing predictive lead score. Predictive lead scoring takes into account not only past behavior but also looks at factors such as demographics and firmographics that can give insight into future behavior.
In other words, predictive lead scoring can tell you not only whether or not someone is currently interested in your product or service, but also whether or not they are likely to be interested in the future
What is a Predictive Lead Score?
A predictive lead score is a numerical value assigned to a lead that predicts the likelihood of that lead converting into a paying customer. This score is based on factors such as lead demographics, online behavior, and past interactions with your company.
What is Predictive Lead Scoring and How it Increase Sales?
Predictive lead scoring is a cutting-edge solution that can help your business find its ideal customers. By utilizing your analytic data, predictive lead scoring can directly target those who are most likely to convert. Additionally, by preventing human error, predictive lead scoring provides a more accurate representation of your customer base.
CRM software can be used to give customers a score, which predictive lead scoring solutions will automatically do. This makes it easier for businesses to find their perfect or near-perfect customer, as well as reducing the chances for human error.
Using historical data and demographics, predictive analytics can help determine the best customers for your business. This takes some of the guesswork and legwork out of finding good leads to contact.
With historical data and demographics, a more reliable and accurate dataset can be constructed.
Predictive lead scoring is a machine learning-based solution that can help identify potential leads that your marketing team may have missed. By taking into account a variety of factors, predictive lead scoring can provide a more accurate assessment of a lead’s likelihood to convert, resulting in higher quality leads and increased sales.
Best of all, this can all be done automatically, freeing up your sales team for more important tasks.
This software is beneficial because it not only looks at what has worked in the past to score potential leads, but also analyzes what didn’t work. In addition, it takes into account information that customers have in common so that relevant demographics can be scored and used by your team.
Many predictive sales tools use logistic regression.
Logistic regression is a data mining algorithm that can be used to calculate the probability of a lead becoming a customer. This technique can be used to drastically reduce the number of bad leads, and improve sales outcomes.
Predictive lead scoring can help sales teams increase their close rate by identifying which leads are most likely to convert into customers. By using a data-driven approach to lead scoring, businesses can more accurately target their marketing efforts and improve the ROI of their campaigns.
A lead scoring model is a quick way to assess how likely a lead is to convert. This can help your sales team prioritize their workload, allowing them to focus on the most likely leads to convert.
Random forests are a powerful tool that can be used to predict the behavior of your customers. By creating a forest of decision trees, this algorithm can quickly identify which leads are more likely to convert into sales. This information is vital for any sales team looking to increase their close rate and improve their bottom line.
Predictive lead scoring is a method of using data to determine which leads are more likely to convert. By analyzing past customer behavior, businesses can create a virtual forest of decision outcomes that the tool can use to score new leads. This helps sales teams focus their efforts on the most promising prospects, increasing the chances of making a sale.
This A/B testing technique helps you identify some of the factors that drive conversion.
What are the Benefits of Predictive Lead Scoring?
Your sales team will:
Predictive lead scoring is a major benefit to your sales funnel as it eliminates errors in analysis and provides confident decisions based on rich data. It also allows agents to discover hidden relationships between data sets and have a 360-degree view of how each piece of data connects.
Predictive Lead Score – Why You Should Consider Predictive Lead Score
Predictive Lead Scoring can sort through all of your data in a fraction of the time it takes for a manual system.
And let’s be honest: people make mistakes. That’s just part of being human.
Predictive Lead Scoring is most effective when the | [

There’s lots of data out there to suggest that there is a correlation between urban density and housing unaffordability. Take Hong Kong. It is very dense, and also one of the most expensive housing markets in the world. But I think the real question is: does urban density actually cause housing unaffordability, or do the two simply tend to be correlated when you plot a country’s biggest cities?
One the one hand, there are factors that do drive up home prices when you build more densely. Building a reinforced-concrete high-rise is always going to be more expensive on a per square foot basis than building a wood-framed bungalow. But of course, the former also uses land a lot more efficiently, which is what you need to do in big and supply-constrained cities.
Michael Lewyn’s view (credit to Robert Wright for sending me the article) is that density is incorrectly used as a scapegoat to fight compact development. It does not actually cause higher rents. One counter example he gives is that of Manhattan, which went from 2.3 million people in 1910 to just under 1.7 million in 2020. In other words, it got less dense, while at the same time its rents grew exponentially.
Like most important city matters, the answer is complicated. But this is an interesting topic that I think we should spend more time on here. | [

According to the latest news report, CENTR has newly launched CENTR Enhanced, the first non-CBD functional beverage. The news was published in the journal, Nutraceuticals World.
The Enhanced Water beverage contains nootropics along with other natural ingredients that boost cognitive function and mood. The other proprietary ingredients include citicoline, Zembrin, AstraGin, and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). Citicoline helps to build attention, focus, and memory along with improved overall cognitive health. Zembrin, extracted from Sceletium tortuosum, a plant-based adaptogen, works to support mood and stress outcomes. AstraGin (Panax ginseng and Astragalus complex), a plant-based compound has the power to lessen digestive complaints and increases nutrient absorption and immune function. GABA, a neurotransmitter, is known for its role in providing relaxation, mental clarity, and sleep support.
CENTR Enhanced is available in two forms: a caffeine-free variety and a version with 60mg of caffeine for improving cognitive abilities. Health-based beverages are fast gaining a foothold among consumers seeking alternatives to both alcohol and sugary drinks. Cognizin is the branded form of citicoline and the most clinically-backed nootropic ingredient used in the cognitive health product. Improving cognitive performance through beverages is the choice of consumers across all age groups.

Reasons for Designation
Medieval rural settlements in England were marked by great regional diversity
in form, size and type, and the protection of their archaeological remains
needs to take these differences into account. To do this, England has been
divided into three broad Provinces on the basis of each area's distinctive
mixture of nucleated and dispersed settlements. These can be further divided
into sub-Provinces and local regions, possessing characteristics which have
gradually evolved during the past 1500 years or more.
The Tees Valley local region is a rich agricultural lowland, with varied soils
on glacial and alluvial deposits once supporting dense concentrations of
market towns and villages. Depopulation has thinned the numbers of villages,
while enclosure in the 17th and 18th centuries has brought scatters of
isolated farmsteads to landscapes once dominated by great expanses of open,
communally organised townfields.
Medieval villages were organised agricutural communities, sited at the centre of a parish or township, that shared resources such as arable land, meadow and woodland. Village plans varied enormously, but when they survive as earthworks their most distinguishing features include roads and minor tracks, platforms on which stood houses and other buildings such as barns, enclosed crofts and small paddocks. They frequently included the parish church within their boundaries, and as part of the manorial system most villages included one or more manorial centres which may also survive as visible remains as well as below ground deposits. In the central province of England, villages were the most distinctive aspect of medieval life, and their archaeological remains are one of the most important sources of understanding about rural life in the five or more centuries following the Norman conquest. Most nucleated villages were surrounded by a series of unenclosed fields known as an open field system. Open fields originated before AD 1000 and continued in use throughout the middle ages. However, recent work has shown that some open field systems preserve the fossilized remains of earlier Roman and prehistoric systems within their basic framework. From the late 16th century, the open fields began to be enclosed by banks and hedges into the more familiar fields of the present landscape. Formerly more extensive, open fields generally survive as fragments in association with medieval settlements. They were the product of a communal system of farming in which each tenant held a share of the manor's arable and meadow land. The holdings of each tenant were scattered across the open fields, the basic unit of tenancy being the lande. Landes were parcelled together into larger groups called furlongs, whose length and the number of landes they contained varied greatly. Furlongs were grouped together into fields and an open field system usually included several such fields. Systems of crop rotation were employed, and these might be based on either the field or the furlong. The sides of the furlongs were marked by baulks of unploughed land which often survive as low banks and are known as furlong boundaries. The ends of the furlongs were marked by headlands which survive as prominent earthen banks. Ploughmen used the headlands as spaces on which to turn the teams of oxen or horses which pulled the plough. Headlands were usually ploughed after work on the rest of the furlong had been completed, though sometimes they were left unploughed, and, along with the baulks between furlongs, provided access between furlongs. Such unploughed areas were grazed by livestock. The most characteristic feature of open field systems is ridge and furrow, a form of medieval cultivation produced by the action of a heavy plough with a fixed mouldboard. The deserted medieval village at Stainsby is well preserved and retains significant archaeological deposits. The village shows evidence of more than one phase of development and, taken together with the remains of its open field system, it will add greatly to our knowledge and understanding of | [

other interventions with other people’s faces would not have the same effect on their sun protection or UV exposure intentions as seeing their own faces (Williams et al., 2012). Methodological / Interpretive Issues Participants in the present study were Caucasian British secondary school students aged 11 to 14, from the same school. This means that the findings can be generalised to other groups only with caution. Future Research It would be interesting to look at the effect of the intervention on participants with nonCaucasian skin types. Among non-Caucasians, melanoma is a higher risk for children than adults, and 6.5 percent of paediatric melanomas occur in non-Caucasians (Strouse et al., 2005). Implications for health promotion This intervention could be used in a school, for example during Personal, Social and Health Education lessons. It could also be used in a number of healthcare settings, for example, in a doctor’s waiting room whilst participants are waiting to be seen, or, in pharmacies, where adolescents could participate in the intervention while out shopping with their parents/carers.

Opportunities abound in Massachusetts’ innovative engineering and biotech sectors, but many companies are starved for talent. The reason? Too few of the state’s high school students are graduating with the skills, knowledge, and interest in pursuing careers in technology-based fields.
In response to this need, the Massachusetts Computing Attainment Network (MassCAN), of which EDC is the lead partner, brings together industry leaders, educators, and policymakers to improve computer science opportunities for Massachusetts students. MassCAN has already helped expand teachers’ awareness about, and interest in, computer science through professional development programs. It is also facilitating the development of state policies and standards that prepare more young people for the technological opportunities—and futures—that await them.
MassCAN advocates for the expansion of computer science education at the school, district, and state levels. It does so through the following activities:
- Offering professional development opportunities in computer science education for K–12 teachers
- Facilitating the development of new K–12 computer science standards and digital literacy standards for Massachusetts
- Supporting the statewide adoption of the new advanced placement course in computer science
- Supporting increased computer science opportunities for female and underrepresented minority students
Since 2014, MassCAN has provided professional development opportunities in computer science for over 400 K–12 Massachusetts teachers.

Good sturdy product! Reasonable
Love the hidden safe in the trigger. Other reviews were wrong on it being broken. That trigger guard is meant to flip up to be the safety. Pull back was nice and smooth. Hand swell is very comfortable. Fires really smooth. For the cheap price of it, it is definitely worth the buy.
The only issue I found was that after opening it I realized that as mentioned before in a previous review that there was some cosmetic damage around the trigger area and a few cracks on the stock area but all in all the cross bow functions as it should and packs a powerful punch especially to be as heavy as it is, I would recommend it to anyone who likes to bow hunt
This is my favorite bow. Real not toys | [

Exclusive song premiere: Kevin Galloway’s “Don’t It Feel Good to Me”
After more than a decade fronting the Americana band Uncle Lucius, Austin singer-songwriter Kevin Galloway is striking out on his own. The band played its final show last month at Gruene Hall in New Braunfels, and now Galloway is set to release “The Change,” his first solo album, on Aug. 3 on local label Nine Mile Records.
Galloway has long been one of the city’s best singers; his soulful, richly melodic voice was a signature element of Uncle Lucius’ four studio albums (plus a live record done at the Saxon Pub in 2009). That voice is right out front where it should be on the solo album, including the lead single “Don’t It Feel Good to Me,” which we’re exclusively premiering on Austin360 today:
Uncle Lucius co-founder Hal Jon Vorpahl co-produced the record with James Stevens at Stevens’ East Side Recording studio in Austin. His former Uncle Lucius mate Jonathan Grossman played keyboards; other musicians on the sessions included Willie Nelson bassist Kevin Smith, Midland pedal steel player Kim DesChamps, guitarist Doug Strahan, drummer George Duron and Benito Acevedo on harmonica.
Preorders of “The Change” are now available through Galloway’s page on PledgeMusic. The album features mostly original material, but Galloway also puts his stamp on “You Are So Beautiful,” the Billy Preston/Bruce Fisher tune made famous by the late Joe Cocker.
Galloway discussed his decision to go solo in a short statement announcing the new album. “My wife and I have two children under the age of 3 now,” he said. “After touring almost incessantly with a band for over a decade, I’ve decided to take a different approach. This album is a sincere reflection of my mindset while reorganizing priorities.”
Galloway will be back at Gruene Hall on May 22 for New Braunfels radio station KNBT’s 22nd annual Americana Music Jam. His next Austin dates (both with a full backing band) will be July 20 at Cactus Cafe and an Aug. 3 record-release show at the Continental Club. | [

Today, may you be refreshed in God’s Goodness and inspired by His Love. More than a year ago, I just got out of the hospital. I'm not well enough yet after almost a year undergoing a series of operations, and the pain in my heart increased in intensity. My sin must have been in imagining that I could get still more of truth from the outside. God shows them to us in order to induce us to reflect. All destinies, have been shaped by God. He argued me into giving up my previous plan. Then I turned in on myself, and began a long journey to heal my body and soul. For a long time, painful memories were being raked over to me. To learn that it only takes a few seconds to open profound wounds, and that it takes so much time to heal them. A big challenge is to shift your perspective radically from judgment of other to a lifelong exploration of yourself. In truth, what are anger, sadness, pain but the soul's desire for love? While sadness, grief, and anger are normal reactions to discouraging events, they need to be followed by a plan for recovery. You know and feel the pain, but the desire to no longer continue the suffering is stronger, you started care about yourself to not want to carry the anger or sadness any longer. I moved, changed my lifestyle and exercise routine, and went back to work. The key is maintaining a healthy lifestyle that includes lots of physical activity and proper nutrition, wake up with a refreshed perspective and do something different. Find the confidence to reinvent yourself and take responsibility for your choices in life. It was a long journey but now I no longer wake up every morning feeling angry and bitter. I let go and surrender to greater peace of mind. Nothing but God's own sovereign good pleasure compels Him to love sinners. I've never questioned why I survived, but I'm doing everything I can to repay the people who helped me in my recovery. My belief in God has made a big difference in my life. Yes, I haven't fully recovered yet, but I've been trying, and I have known and believed the love that God has for me. | [

Thinning hair or balding is a phenomenon that troubles every man. Advancing age either brings about a receding hairline or excessive hair fall that leads to thin hair. Unfortunately, since this is pretty much a natural phenomenon it can hardly be prevented. However, thanks to the advancements in medical science, ways have been devised by which this issue can be countered. But before we go into the science of hair loss treatment and re-growing techniques, here’s some interesting information on the different types of hairstyles that balding men can try out:
Combover: This is the best way to hide the receding hairline. Back combing the front hair to one side gives a bouncier and fuller look; something that is just apt to hide the fading hair line. This look can be made more stylish if the hair on the side is cropped to give it a fading look.
Spikes: In this style too, the trick lies in carefully styling the longer hairs in the front. You can get short spikes and brush them forward and to hold the hair in place you can even apply a light texturing gel. The sides, in this style too need to be cropped to give a faded look.
The Messy Side Parting: In this style, the hair needs to be cut to medium length with a side parting that is pretty close to the ear. The hair in the front then needs to be back brushed in a little uneven manner to get that Bohemian look.
Balding Fade: In this hairstyle you don’t really hide the receding hairline but flaunt it with style. Just grow the hair in front and back brush the same. A fading side cut with clearly demarcated beard line and sideburns would all the more add to the styling.
The long side parting: This is aptly called the Ivy League style. The long side part and the back brushed hair in front gives you the look of a dashing sophisticated gentleman ready to take on the world.
The back comb: If you have a little thick hair on the sides as well, back comb the same along with that on the front. You must also use a styling gel to hold the back combed strands in place. Also, if you want to wear this look with the business causals, do pay attention to the trim of your beard too, as this style will never look good with anything shabbily worn.
The crew cut: An all-time favourite with men, this style never goes wrong. Right from hiding a receding hair line to flaunting the greys, this hair style can transform every look. If along with a receding hair line you are also troubled with greying hair, worry not, you can always flaunt the greys with a gradient cut.
Bald Fade: If you are troubled with thinning hair, the best way to mask the same is the simple trick of shifting the focus. You can get an overall fading cut and complement the same with a neat close cut beard.
Therefore, with these styling techniques you can always mask your thinning hair or receding hair line and still get that youthful look. However, if you really do not want to spend time in front of the mirror carefully styling your hair, you can simply go for various minimally invasive hair restoration procedures like the Follicular Unit Transplantation Method and get that dense hair back.
What is the Follicular Unit Hair Transplantation Method? And people have various negative and positive reviews of hair transplantation as per their experience.
In this method a fine extractor of 0.5 to 0.8 mm is used to extract healthy hair follicles from a donor site to be implanted in the region with scanty hair using a unique implantation tool.
In this procedure neither is there any scarring of the donor site nor are there other complications related to surgery. Moreover, the hair in the area receiving the implants grows back within 3- 8 months after which you can always style the same as per your liking.
Thus, if thinning hair and the receding hair line have really become major issues for you then you must resort to such technologically superior techniques for quick hair restoration. | [

Limits and blinds are important to know when playing poker. This article will also cover first-to-act position and tie hands. Once you’ve mastered the basics, you can move on to more advanced poker strategy. You’ll also learn about how to make the best out of any situation. Whether you’re playing on a real poker room or online, these tips will ensure your success.
Limits in poker
Limits in poker are the betting rules that govern the size of your bets. These limits determine how much you can raise and when you need to showdown. Knowing these rules is essential to becoming an effective poker player.
The first-act position is the best place to be in poker if you are playing no-limit Texas hold’em. Being in this position provides valuable information about your opponents’ hands and allows you to make confident bets. However, it also has its drawbacks. You must be patient and plan your next move carefully to take advantage of this advantageous position.
Every poker hand starts with a battle for the blinds and antes. As such, players should be on the lookout for opportunities to steal the blinds from other players. Especially in early position, where there are many players who can act, stealing blinds can be a profitable strategy.
Tie hands in poker are situations where two players have the same five-card combination. In most cases, the player with the higher pair wins the tie. However, the chances of a tie are higher on some poker boards, so it’s important to understand how ties are formed and how to avoid them.
Betting intervals in poker games determine the length of time between raises and bets and can vary from game to game. They also help determine the stack limit of each player. It is important to know how to calculate betting intervals so that you know how much to bet and raise every time.
Duplicate cards on the board
Duplicate cards on the board of poker is a type of poker game where you have two sets of cards. One set of cards has duplicates, while the other set has a single card with a different color and number. The cards are placed on a board and are rotated by a button. The board changes after each hand. | [

A Declaration of Public Works for Line B was signed on February 20 following more than three years of studies and public consultation.
In February 2016 Angers Loire Metropolitan Council voted to push back the start of construction on the €245m project amid concerns over financing, although public consultation continued according to the previous schedule. This means construction will begin no earlier than 2019, with the project due for completion in 2022.
The 9.9km line will begin in Belle-Beille in the west of the city, running along Avenue Patton into the city centre, where it will briefly share tracks with Line A before turning east along Avenue Montaigne. From here it will turn north onto Boulevard de Deux Croix and Boulevard Alloneau to reach the eastern terminus at Monplaisir.
The project will include a short link between Line B on Avenue Montaigne and Moliére station on Line A, creating a light rail loop in the city centre, together with the expansion of the existing Line A depot.
Line B will have 19 stations, including three with park-and-ride facilities, and will bring another 50,000 residents within 500m of a tram station. Services will be operated by a fleet of 18 30m-long low-floor LRVs, each accommodating up to 210 passengers.

Beikby the search for increased performance and durability, gear and bearing design has sought to make use of improved steel grades combined with enhanced heat treatment techniques.
The bsilby of these improvements is to prevent irregularity or impurity failures of the bulk metal substrate. This advancement in material preparation has enabled design limits to be pushed further for the benefit of the end application.
Optics Become Less Rough, More Tough
As a result, surface fatigue is now a routine issue that must be factored in during the design stage. What Is a Surface? However, when used in reference to a machined component, the surface is instead made up of multiple layers with varying thicknesses and physical properties. The two outermost layers — the adsorber cases and oxide layer — are essentially regions that have been contaminated by environmental factors and are only nanometers thick.
These layers have little influence on the performance of the component in loaded operation. However, below these regions are more influential layers that are generated as a result of the machining process es that have been applied to the component: Machined Surfaces The term machining can be applied to a multitude of techniques, each with unique properties and characteristics. To achieve a cutting action, the technique employed must overcome the physical strength of the metal, which results in the generation of a large amount of heat.
This force and heat affects the stress-strain relationship and causes the fracture and flow of metal, leading to the creation of the Beilby layer. Plastic deformation of the metal during machining results in cold working of the surface and the creation of the worked layer.
These physical alterations to the surface have the effect of increasing the beipby and tensile stresses while decreasing ductility and reducing performance values. Because the stress and strain exerted on the component is high, discontinuous micro-cracks form.
Through the use of isotropic superfinishing in the form of chemically accelerated vibratory finishing, the distressed material layer the Beilby layer and the uppermost portions of the worked layer can be completely removed, leaving behind a layer of homogenous material, free from the defects inherent to a machined surface.
These surface improvements are possible due to the nature of the chemically accelerated vibratory finishing process — namely, that it is carried out at ambient temperatures and requires exceptionally little force.
Optics Become Less Rough, More Tough
These factors dictate that no detrimental physical property alterations will occur during the material removal process. Operating Properties of Machined vs. Isotropic Superfinished Surfaces The surface bilby a gear is the point of contact between two mating surfaces, and the contacting properties will be derived directly from the interaction of these two mating surfaces.
With machined surfaces, the unfavorable properties of the surface material itself and the peak asperities serve as initiating factors for surface fatigue during operation via the progression of micropitting or abrasive wear. An isotropically superfinished surface, no longer having any micro-cracks or surface distress tensile stress and possessing a planarized texture, will not suffer from either of these failure beillby.
Definition of Beilby layer – glossary
Lsyer Importance of Texture It is important to note that the texture of an isotropic superfinish is critical, as a surface that is free of all texture is, in fact, too smooth. The machined surface shown in Figure 3 will fail well before the surfaces shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 in any contact fatigue testing for these reasons. However, despite both surfaces having bdilby peak asperities of distressed metal flaws, the surface shown in Figure 4 has been shown to outperform the layerr shown in Figure 5 by a considerable degree in scuffing tests due to its more favorable lubricant retention properties despite the surface in Figure 5 having a lower coefficient of friction.
Getting the Optimal Surface In conclusion, it is clear that the surface of a gear is a key factor in its operational performance.
To achieve maximum performance, it is beneficial to remove the distressed bejlby that is generated during the machining process es. To this end, the next part of this series will discuss the methods of measuring and evaluating surfaces and surface roughness in order to avoid misconceptions or errant classifications.

What are manatees?
The Florida manatee (Trichechus manatus), or sea cow, is a large plant-eating aquatic mammal commonly found in shallow coastal waters, rivers, canals, and springs of Florida. They range in color from gray to brown, and are seal-shaped in appearance, with flat, rounded tails. Adult manatees average 9.8 feet in length and weigh over 1,000 pounds.
Where are manatees found in Palm Beach County?
Manatees are present in Palm Beach County year round and are most common during winter months, when many migrate to the warm water discharge at the Florida Power and Light Riviera Beach Power Plant. This area, within Lake Worth Lagoon, is recognized as one of the most important water manatee refuges on the east coast of Florida. Manatees are also commonly seen near Jupiter Inlet, Munyon Island, Boynton Inlet and Lake Wyman. They are often observed swimming, resting, or feeding near submerged seagrass beds. In dark colored water, manatees are more difficult to see, but may be identified by their dark, round snouts which break the surface of the water to breathe. Large, circular swirls in the water may also indicate the presence of manatees.
What are the major threats to manatees?
Many manatee mortalities are human-related. The primary threat from humans in Palm Beach County is collision with watercraft which accounts for 35% of manatee strandings. Other causes of human-related manatee mortalities include being crushed and/or drowned in canal locks and flood control structures; ingestion of fish hooks, litter and monofilament line, entanglement in crab trap lines; and vandalism. Loss of habitat is also a serious threat facing manatees. High mortality, primarily associated with human activity, as well as a low reproductive rate and loss of habitat continue to keep the number of manatees low and threaten the future of the species.
To report violations, manatee injuries, or deaths, call the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission at 1-888-404-FWCC. | [

The new sensation in the highlife music industry, Charles Fanti, has teamed with Styngy Man to release a new single titled ‘Momo’ on the music market.
This is Charles Fanti’s second single since signing on to Gavali Music label early this year.
‘Momo’, which is expected to receive airplay soon, was recorded and produced by Gavali Music.
Charles Fanti is currently in the studios working on a number of songs with Gavali Music and Publishing owned by Richard Essien, known in the world music scene as Magic Rocker.
The song reveals Charles Fanti’s maturity as an artiste as he expresses his affection and respect for the Ghanaian woman who always enjoy receiving mobile money (Momo) from men.
It is a mid-tempo song with danceable beat suitable for social events such parties, wedding ceremonies, among others.
“This is a special track, one of many I’ve been working on since March and I thought my fans deserve to have it at this moment,” he told BEATWAVES.
BEATWAVES gathered that the sound quality of this single as well as the educative lyrics will surely shoot Charles Fanti’s good image to another level. It is also expected to attract good following on social media sites.
According to Charles Fanti, many reviews and opinions from DJs and presenters as well as the public have helped him stay on course in his resolve to maintain what to him is his original style of play.
He told BEATWAVES in a short exclusive interview that he hoped to make a breakthrough, as the ‘Momo’ song was expected to hit music charts very soon.
Charles Fanti is sure to make a mark on the entertainment scene and looks forward to the years ahead that will see him representing Ghana worldwide with his music.
Ever since he joined the local music industry, Charles Fanti has proved that he will soon become a force to reckon with. Currently, his hit single ‘Sake of Love’ is receiving airplay on radio stations in the country.

I have been playing several skirmish scale games this year with my 8 year old son with a Halloween narrative. This is a continuation of past games from the "The Saga of King Mason" as series of games I started with him back in 2010. As with all things, they narrative and games are worth far more sentimental value to the father than the son...
|Later that summer|
|Any excuse to use this photo..|
The battlefield had two primary objectives: Protect the villagers and save the supply wagon. I set up the game to be a rather desperate affair, with the badly outnumbered defenders receiving reinforcements every turn against the ever increasing Orc onslaught.
In the end the Orcs were badly decimated, but they managed to make it off the table with the supply wagon and four defenseless villagers.
|The orcs sweep in from the woods, stealing and Ox|
|Most of the fight would take place across the walls.|
|The Raiders from the Southwest were not anticipated.|
|Things are getting desperate at the wall.|
|Timey Intervention from the reserves turns the tide.|
|Then they must rush to the Southern gate.|
|A few surviving orcs conduct a fighting retreat with their captives in tow.|
This led to game two. I gave my son the option of setting up an ambush for the Orcs or sending a cavalry force to chase them down. He went with the ambush option.
For this game we had an Orc Caravan attempting to cross the river at the only available crossing. The attacker chose to place three stalwart heros across the gap and then sprinkle the trees with Archers and Crossbowmen. The result was the utter destruction of the Orcish hordes.
|The guards run to the front of the column as the ambush is sprung.|
|Three Champions of the Realm bar the way|
|The Orcs charge, and a mass melee ensues|
|Orc reinforcements rush forward as the archers pick them off one by one.|
|The champions take to resting in turn before diving back into the fight.|
|The last of the Orcs fall.|
Game three resulted from the next decision point: Do you want to send forces to intercept more caravans, reinforce the villages or seek out the Orc strongholds?
The result is this scouting game. A force of outriders led by a hero and his trusty animal companion set out to seek through the woods. I used a mix of blinds and some narrative to set up the story. He divided his force into three groups and went looking.
|The hero and his hound face off against an Earth titan.|
|..which had just wiped out one of his patrols.|
|The restless dead erupt from the broken ground. What lies beneath?|
After being nearly wiped out (maybe a lesson about spreading out so far they can't support one another?), the hero made a startling discover: The dead were rising once again in the North. He had choice again: Delve underground to find the source, or prepare their defenses for another invasion of orcs and Skeletons... | [

Golfers in North Dakota will soon be able to get refreshments delivered during play from a drone.
King’s Walk Golf Course in Grand Forks, N.D., will be delivering food and drink via a drone for a $3 service charge in about 10 minutes. The orders will be attached to the drone via a rope.
“Wherever you are, you should be able to get what you want within a few minutes,” Yariv Bash, CEO of FlyTrex, the Israeli drone logistics startup operating the service, told CNNMoney. “Why wait?”
The course has traditional refreshment carts and a restaurant. The drone service begins with a six-week trial on Sept. 15 and delivery to a single course location. Customers will order via an app. Expansion will follow, if it proves successful. The drones weigh about 33 pounds and fly at 30 MPH.
“The young golfers think it’s great. We’ve had people already call and ask — when’s the drone flying?” Grand Forks Park District course executive director Bill Palmiscno told CNNMoney. “The old members kind of think, ‘oh you’re wasting your money.’ ”
Grand Forks is considered a hub of drone activity because of its proximity to an Air Force base focused on drone missions. The University of North Dakota also offers an undergraduate degree in unmanned aeronautical systems operations. | [

This book is only available in electronic form, but given the nature of the book, I want to make it my book of the month anyway. It is the kind of book that every church that practices church discipline (which should be all of them) ought to have on the premises.
Correction: there is a paperback.
And surely, with every session of elders, somebody has a Kindle, and that somebody ought to be tasked to read this book on behalf of the session, and to bring back proposals to be incorporated into the documents of the church. Written by two young attorneys (Robert Renaud and Lael Weinberger), this book provides a historical survey of church/state relations (throughout all church history, but focusing on the Reformation era and the American Founding era), along with a legal survey of the rights churches currently have in America on matters of church discipline.
Overall, the news is good. The right of “church autonomy” on matters of faith and practice is well established in American law. That doesn’t mean that there are no threats — lawsuits have been brought, and the general climate inhabited by our ruling elites is certainly hostile to the rights and privileges of the church. At the same time, the second half of this book will be extremely helpful to churches that want to practice biblical church discipline, and at the same time do not want to do so in a way that is legally stupid. The cause of religious liberty will not be advanced by leaders of churches that discipline people without minutes, constitutions, due process, or established procedures.
The one caution I would register — without in any way indicating that the authors would differ with this — is that church/state relations, when they are functioning as they ought to be functioning, are much more organic and tightly knit than they currently are in the American system of religious “tolerance” — even when that tolerance is good. In the Reformation, there was thought to be a corpus christianorum that was foundational to both the Christian state and the Christian church, and for them, the relationship was not a simply church over here and state over there, but rather the external church/state here (body), and the internal realities here also (soul).
Downstream from Kuyper, and especially for Americans, this tight organic connection that is necessary for Christendom to function (even for my mere Christendom) is not usually taken into account. The doctrine of “church autonomy” that the authors describe here is good news for churches that want freedom to practice their beliefs without harassment. But it is not the destination point of the good news that we are to announce to the nations.
Jesus said to disciple the nations, including ours, and when we are done, the unity between a Christian people and their external social forms will be like body and soul — which only the Word of God can disentangle.
At the same time, this book will be of enormous practical help for churches that practice discipline. That should be all churches, but we are unfortunately not there yet. And we all know that if a church is thinking about instituting discipline, or resuming the practice after a long hiatus, one of the arguments that will be brought against it will be the possibility of legal ramifications. This book must be part of your calculations. And if your church does practice godly discipline, thank the Lord, and make your position stronger by getting some wisdom here. | [

Virtual fragment screening identification of a novel Quinoline-5,8-dicarboxylic acid derivative as selective JMJD3 inhibitor.
Giordano A., Del Gaudio F., Johansson C., Riccio R., Oppermann U., Di Micco S.
The quinoline-5,8 dicarboxylic acid scaffold has been identified by fragment-based approach as new potential lead compound for the development of JMJD3 inhibitors. Among them, compound 3 shows low micromolar inhibitory activity against JMJD3. The experimental evaluation of inhibition activity vs. related seven isoforms of JMJD3 highlighted an unprecedented selectivity towards the biological target of interest. | [

The Boston International Antiquarian Book Fair returns to the Hynes Convention Center in Boston's Back Bay for an in-person book fair November 11-13, 2022. Here are some highlights from among the rare books and related ephemera you'll find when you visit!
Aldus Chapin Higgins Photo Album, 1923. A Ten Weeks Vacation Trip to Europe. February 23rd to May 12th 1923
by Mary Sprague and Aldus Chapin Higgins ending with a Motor Trip in France with Elizabeth and W. Irving Clark
Large format hand-made book, unpaginated [95 pages], colored ink manuscript calligraphy on cover, bound in leather parchment over stiff boards, 306 large and medium format professional black and white photographs mounted on laid paper with deckled edges, each photo titled in manuscript, 3-page typed itinerary bound in at end of book, one small landscape oil painting "Taormina" bound in, 2-page color map with itinerary hand drawn on map, separate set of 7 small format B&W photographs of the architecture of the Higgins home, newly completed, Worcester, Massachusetts, and one engraved calling card of Mr. and Mrs. Aldus Chapin Higgins 1 John Wing Road [Worcester, Massachusetts].
Dimensions: 15 1/8" x 11 1/4" x 3"
Condition: book as found good condition, covers some wear, contents, including laid paper pages, oil painting, manuscript, professional photographs excellent condition.
There are two works of art in this description: the hand made parchment bound, decorated book that became the Higgins photograph album; and the large archive of photography itself. The presumed photographer of all but one photograph is Aldus Higgins, a highly skilled and published "amateur" photographer.1/ The large format, black and white photographs are either gelatin silver prints, or may be platinum prints. A large format camera and related equipment could have been handled by Higgins' staff en tour. Aldus Higgins belonged to a Worcester, Massachusetts family 2/ accomplished in industrial steel manufacture and other business, and long recognized for its charitable work. An architectural landmark in Worcester created by Aldus' brother John Woodman Higgins, who owned Worcester Pressed Steel Company, was the steel art museum building housing the Higgins Armory collection whose antique armor and other metalwork may now be found in part at the Worcester Art Museum.
Turning the pages of the Higgins Tour album reveals and architectural study of antique North African and European landscape and architecture. Many of the photographs are detail shots of window patterns, and entryways, roof design, building profiles and how a building is sited in the landscape. The photographs from this 1923 tour help explain the design decisions of the Aldus C. and Mary S. Higgins Tudor Revival style Worcester home, a National Registered Historic Landmark that Mrs. Higgins occupied until her death when it was willed in 1971 to Worcester Polytech Institute. WPI now uses it for the alumni house. Aldus Higgins is an alumnus of WPI.3/ A small envelope of photographs was tucked into the back of the album and these show the house completed. Stylistically they resemble the album photographs. Architect Grovenor Atterbury's archive is at Cornell University. 4/
One of the Higgins Album's unusual if not startling photographs in its subject matter is a group portrait of the gathering at the American Consul to Rome's house to honor Benito Mussolini. Also on that page of the Higgins Album is a photograph portrait of Mussolini that appears to have been taken by Mussolini's official photographer. Prime Minister Mussolini's National Fascist Party was in control of Italy by 1922. The social entré enjoyed by Aldus Higgins and his traveling party that made possible this visit to the American Consul was certainly for a social event. Whether other business transpired is not known.
The photographs are all annotated by the same elegant hand who wrote the title page of the Album. These notes include remarks about typical tourist interests and concerns, hotels, restaurant service and food, theatre and other cultural events. There are family oriented visits to Americans, and portraits of these close friends. The affection expressed in the notes suggest these are long personal relationships among the adults and even the children.
While many 19th c. and early 20th c. "grand tour" albums of Europe were created, this Higgins Album is a unique hand made book, itself an unusual 20th c. work of art and the photography stands on its own as an aesthetic endeavor that expresses the photographer's fascination with antique European and North African architecture set in its native landscape, a curiosity about local culture and the joys of travel and exploring with friends.

The concept of k-submodularity is an extension of submodularity, of which maximization has various applications, such as influence maximization and sensor placement. In such situations, to model complicated real problems, we want to deal with multiple factors, such as, more detailed parameter representing a property of a given function or a constraint which should be imposed for a given function, simultaneously. Besides, it is preferable that an algorithm for the modeling problem is simple. In this paper, for both monotone k-submodular function maximization with bounded curvature and monotone weakly k-submodular function maximization, we give approximation ratio analysis on greedy-type algorithms on the problem with the matroid constraint and that with the individual size constraint. Furthermore, we give an approximation ratio analysis on another type of the relaxation of k-submodular functions, approximately k-submodular functions, with the matroid constraint. | [

Flying away from the friendly confines of your home airport offers another great flying challenge. It also offers an unlimited number of “what if” scenarios. When the airlines use “LOFT” scenarios, they are always playing out a flight going to somewhere (LOFT is Line Oriented Flight Training — Line, as in flight line or route). Creative instructors and inquisitive students can “war game” cross counties forever. Here is just one and it’s a true story.
Scenario: A pilot and three friends pile into a light airplane for a flight to a small airport for the purpose of attending an auto race. It was the third consecutive year these friends had made the pilgrimage to this particular race. Almost, but not quite to the destination airport, the engine of the airplane quit. The fuel tanks were dry. The pilot made an emergency landing in a field just at dusk and except for a nasty black eye suffered by the pilot, all are aboard are unhurt. The local newspaper was on the scene within minutes and interviewed the pilot. “What happened?” the reporter asked. “I just don’t understand it,” the pilot wondered, “we made this trip down here on a full tank of gas the last two years without any problem!”
DO YOU GET IT?
What did the pilot forget? Could the wind have been different for this year’s trip? Was there any way the pilot could have known that he had a headwind? How could this have been handled differently?
This story has helped many of my students decide to plan checkpoints, keep track of their time between checkpoints, and calculate groundspeed while enroute. If they discover that their actual time between checkpoints is greater than their planned time, they will have time to decide whether or not an unplanned fuel stop will be necessary.
HOW WE’VE BEEN TRAINED
In the Past: The instructor would say, “Before we go cross country next week I want you to complete this worksheet of flight computer problems.”
To become a Private Pilot by the Practical Test Standards the examiner must determine that the applicant:
VII. AREA OF OPERATION:
A. TASK: PILOTAGE AND DEAD RECKONING
REFERENCES: AC 61-21, AC 61-23, AC 61-84.
Objective. To determine that the applicant:
- Exhibits knowledge of the elements related to pilotage and dead reckoning.
- Follows the preplanned course solely by reference to landmarks.
- Identifies landmarks by relating surface features to chart symbols.
- Navigates by means of precomputed headings, groundspeeds, and elapsed time.
- Corrects for and records the differences between preflight fuel, groundspeed, and heading calculations and those determined en route.
- Verifies the airplane’s position within 3 nautical miles of the flight-planned route at all times.
- Arrives at the en route checkpoints and destination within 5 minutes of the ETA.
- Maintains the appropriate altitude, ±200 feet (60 meters) and established heading, ±15°.
- Completes all appropriate checklists.
On this flight portion of the practical test, the examiner will test the applicant for Pilotage and Dead Reckoning skills, the use of RADAR and radio navigation systems, diverting to an unplanned alternate, and lost procedures. Of all the parts of the practical test this is the most “mission” or LOFT-based and the least “maneuver” based training. Most examiners do a good job of creating a scenario around these tasks.
BOTTOM LINE: Testing does not have to be just a series of maneuvers. Flight Instructors can incorporate decision-making skills inside scenarios that are used to prepare for the checkride and to help every pilot become a better decision maker. Apply your training to your flight experience. If you have no experience that seems relevant to your training, ask an instructor what the practical application of the training might be. Actively learn — learn the maneuvers, learn the reasons, learn to make decisions. | [

Extremely popular due to their unusual beauty, these small fish should only be kept in well-established 30-gallon or larger aquariums with plenty of live rock, live sand and hiding places. They feed on natural prey and tiny crustaceans found in live rock and sand. The two most common mandarins are the green and the spotted, or psychedelic, mandarin gobies, also known as Dragonets.
Mandarin Goby Facts
Average Adult Size
up to 4 inches, depending on species
Average Life Span
depends on species
Minimum Aquarium Size
29+ gallons, depending on species
1.023 to 1.025
A well-balanced mandarin goby diet consists of:
Small crustaceans known as copepods. Some can be converted to eating pellets and frozen brine shrimp or mysis shrimp.
Must be kept in a tank with live rock where it will feed on copepods and other tiny life forms.
Things to remember when feeding your mandarin goby:
Feed small amounts 2 to 3 times daily, no more than fish will eat in 1 to 2 minutes.
Keep in tank with plenty of live rock.
Thaw frozen food before feeding.
Keep in an appropriately sized aquarium; provide live rock and décor for hiding places.
Stable water quality and parameters are critical to the health of aquatic life. If you are unsure of your water quality, Petco provides free water testing.
Spend most of their time actively hopping about the live rock in search of food.
Very shy, appreciate lots of hiding places.
May produce noxious mucus to deter predators.
Males have elongated first dorsal spine and may show brighter colors.
Daily: check filter, water temperature, specific gravity and other equipment.
Weekly: check water quality at least once a week.
Monthly: change 10 to 25% of the total volume of water every 2 to 4 weeks, or as needed.
Introduce new inhabitants to the aquarium gradually.
Best kept in reef-type tanks.
Can't compete with larger fish for food.

All Four On Board Killed
Four US Marines aboard a UH-1 helicopter were killed when it
went down at Camp Pendleton (CA) Thursday night. It was an
especially hard blow for members of Pendleton's aviation unit.
Three of their own were killed in a UH-1N crash in Iraq last
"This certainly is a tragedy, and we hope we are able to assist
the families of the victims during this time," Maj. T.V. Johnson
The aircraft was in a cargo configuration during the training
run Thursday night. It went down in a remote, hilly part of the
base near Interstate 5 and San Clemente.
"The aircraft itself was a total loss," Capt. Shawn Turner said
from Washington. He said the the identities of those killed were
being withheld pending notification of their relatives. Three
crewmembers were pronounced dead at the scene. A fourth died
approximatly two hours after the 7:00 pm PST crash.
A San Diego television station reported the Huey struck power
lines near the interstate, but Johnson refused to say if that was
indeed the cause of the crash. "I'm not going into speculating on
what may or may have happened."

The City of Boise is calling on residents for their input in reshaping the community's energy use.
They will be hosting three in-person open houses and one Facebook live open house to gather input from Boiseans to better understand their values and priorities around energy.
In a press release sent out Friday, City of Boise stated, “Boise's energy future is a focused effort to set timelines and actions to achieve a community-wide renewable energy transition for homes and businesses.”
"It's not all about, say just new solar panels on the roof, it's also about efficiency... how can we use energy more wisely, how can we use less energy. It's a big puzzle," said Colin Hickman, Communications Director in the Public Works Department for the City of Boise.
This is all part of Mayor Bieter's announcement in September that the electricity that powers the city of Boise's facilities and operations will be 100% renewable by the year 2030.
The three in-person open houses are listed here:
Tuesday, Dec. 4; 6-8 p.m.
Library! at Hillcrest
5246 W. Overland Road
Saturday, Dec. 8; 10 a.m. - noon
Boise City Hall Lobby
150 N. Capitol Boulevard
Thursday, Dec. 13; 6-8 p.m.
Library! at Bown Crossing
2153 E. Riverwalk Drive
In addition, the city will host a Facebook Live event featuring Boise's Energy Future on Monday, Dec. 10; Noon - 1 p.m. | [

Several weeks ago, I was invited by one of Amway’s business groups to take photographs at one of their major events held in the name of one Enosh Tse. They had booked the community hall of the Baptist University and had decked the place out with flowers, receptionists and there there must have been over at thousand five hundred people milling around the carpark, most in formal wear.
Amway is a gargantuan multi-national company with over US$8.4b in revenues and, together with its affiliates, owns Fulton Innovation as well as Metagenics. I was truly honoured to be part of its team that day.
Enosh arrived in a black limo amidst great fanfare and I held my breath to stabilise my camera as people crowded in front of the car to shake His hand. I ran up the steps leading to the double doors to catch him walking up the stairs from the limo. The ushers had a terrible time sorting the tickets and the line simply grew longer and longer. I took a moment to talk with some of the audience in the front rows.
I learnt that the event was hosted specifically for Enosh as he had, well below the age of 30, helped over 6 people obtain a stable income of over 12,000 a month. It wasn’t just the charity of doling out funds, as most charities do, but he took an active part in helping others achieve more than they could on their own. Consequently, he had improved their quality of life, confidence and had lifted their hopes. And business was getting better.
Amway is in the business of selling relatively high quality products such as organic nutritional supplements and skincare products, and together with a distribution model that benefitted ordinary people, it had taken off in places such as China, Russia, India and Malaysia, places where opportunities were rarer and people more willing to spend time sculpting their future.
Enosh’s team went up on stage to tell their tales of working together and with him. There were merchandisers, investment bankers, dentists, students, personal assistants… generally all sorts of young people from a diverse range of backgrounds. They had lent their experience to the group and together, they had started to help many more people around them achieve or start to achieve a second source of income derived from depriving long-standing supermarkets of their monopolised revenue. In a city where an extra income is always welcome, Enosh’s team is doing well. | [

Striving After God
“The end of the matter; all has been heard. Fear God and keep His commandments, for this is the whole duty of man.” (Ecclesiastes 12:13)
In the book of Ecclesiastes, the author (known to us as “The Preacher”) writes about many different ways in which people spend their lives. Examples include living wisely, living in self-indulgence, and living for wealth and honor. The Preacher himself has tried them all, and they have all come to the same result—dissatisfaction. No matter what the Preacher does, he always feels as if his work has all been for nothing. “All is vanity,” he writes, “and a striving after wind.” (Ecclesiastes 2:17b) Even today, this statement continues to hold true. Much of what we do is, in the long run, as futile as chasing after wind.
“Now, wait a minute,” you might be thinking. “I’ve done a lot of good things in my life. I’ve made good grades in school, I have a successful job, and I’m well on my way to doing something great.” Well, that’s all well and good. But as the Preacher points out, we can’t take the fruits of our labor with us when our time on earth is done. After we die, our work will pass to someone else, someone who may not care about it the way we do. We tend to pour ourselves into our work, often finding our identity in how well we accomplish a task. But while that might make us feel good for a little while, it won’t last forever. One day, that thing we worked so hard to achieve will cease to make us feel proud. There will come a time when no one will even remember it. Looking at it this way, the Preacher’s words make sense—all our work is comparable to chasing after wind.
Now, this sounds a bit depressing. After all, if everything we do is practically useless, what’s the purpose of anything? Fortunately, the Preacher doesn’t leave us wondering about this. After sharing his own experiences with the ways of the world, he goes on to state that true fulfillment comes only from doing what God calls us to do. When we do His will, we will know joy. It is only His work that will last forever, His tasks that will leave a permanent mark on the world. So then, we are not called to spend our lives driving ourselves crazy over how well we’re doing our job or worrying about the future. Instead, God wants us to enjoy today. We are to go cheerfully to the work God gives us to do, taking pleasure in the fact that we get to serve Him. Our goal in life should be to honor Him, living only for His glory. A life lived in this way can never be called a wasted one. “For he will not much remember the days of his life because God keeps him occupied with joy in his heart.” (Ecclesiastes 5:20) | [

This module examines current socio-political issues through the lens of pluralism, that is pluralism of theory, pluralism of method and interdisciplinary pluralism
This course provides future change makers in public and private sectors with a comprehensive overview on the structures and actors that shape markets.
"Despite the rediscovery of the inequality topic by economists as well as other social scientists in recent times, relatively little is known about how economic inequality is mediated to the wider public of ordinary citizens and workers. That is precisely where this book steps in: It draws on a cross-national empirical study to examine how mainstream news media discuss, respond to, and engage with such important and politically sensitive issues and trends.
This course introduces students to the relevance of gender relations in economics as a discipline and in economic processes and outcomes. The course covers three main components of gender in economics and the economy: (1) the gendered nature of the construction and reproduction of economic theory and thought; (2) the relevance and role of gender in economic decision-making; and (3) differences in economic outcomes based on gender. We wil touch on the relevance of gender and gender relations in at least each of the following topics: economic theory; the history of economic thought; human capital accumulation; labor market discrimination; macroeconomic policy, including gender budgeting; household economics; basic econometrics; and economic crises.
The leading edges of economic thinking in the early 21st century are marked by a nascent pluralism - a positive valuing of difference and complexity - regarding the nature and evolution of human behaviour and economic organization. Economic Pluralism brings these pluralist sensibilities to the fore.
An essay of the writing workshop on Nigeria’s Readiness for and the Effect of the Fourth Industrial Revolution
This volume focuses on the importance of the history of economic thought as an intellectual discipline. It counters the arguments of some contemporary economists who describe it as studying the mistakes of the past. However, all the great economists - Smith, Ricardo, Marx, Marshall, Keynes and even Milton Friedman - have drawn on the history of economics to find an appropriate pedigree for their own theoretical innovations.
The core idea of ecological economics is that human economic activity is bound by absolute limits. Interactions between the economy, society and the environment are analysed, while always keeping in mind the goal of a transition towards sustainability.
The workshop deals with the contribution of Plural Economics to the urgently needed change of the economic system towards sustainability and global responsibility. After completing the module, participants should be able to demarcate and explain different economic approaches to sustainability. They should be able to evaluate the respective concepts based on their contribution to the ecological transformation of the economic system.
What made the false assumption that saving the economy at all cost during a pandemic so popular? This paper discusses different pathways through the COVID-19 pandemic at national and international level, and their consequences on the health of citizens and their economies.
This is an overview of (possibly transformative) proposals to address the economic consequences of the corona crisis
In 18th century Europe figures such as Adam Smith, David Ricardo, Friedrich List and Jean Baptiste Colbert developed theories regarding international trade, which either embraced free trade seeing it as a positive sum game or recommended more cautious and strategic approaches to trade seeing it as a potential danger and a rivalry and often as a zero-sum game. What about today?
Exploring Economics, an open-access e-learning platform, giving you the opportunity to discover & study a variety of economic theories, topics, and methods.
Economic sociology is an entire subfield and one could write an series on it, so I’m going to stick to probably the most prominent economic sociologist and the founder of ‘new economic sociology’, Mark Granovetter.
Der Fokus der Institutionenökonomik liegt auf der Rolle von sozialen Institutionen, wie Verträgen, Gesetzen oder auch Verhaltensweisen, in der Produktion, der Verteilung und dem Konsum sowie auf den aus ihnen resultierenden sozialen Beziehungen.
Der Fokus der Verhaltensökonomik liegt auf dem beobachtbaren Verhalten von Menschen und deren Entscheidungen.
This book gives a very clear overview of the history of Macroeconomics and how it has evolved. It reflects on the different perspectives and debates that have defined the field, with valuable insight into the history and theory of economic policy.
In this essay the author reviews empirical studies in economics that analyze factors behind the rise of nationalist and populist parties in Western countries. He stresses that economic factors (e.g., trade shocks and economic crisis) play a crucial role in the rise of populist parties; however, the discussion of mechanisms driving this trend remains unsatisfying

Rodent models in Down syndrome research: impact and future opportunities
journal contributionposted on 2021-08-17, 11:46 authored by Yann Herault, Jean M Delabar, Elizabeth MC Fisher, Victor LJ Tybulewicz, Eugene Yu, Veronique Brault
Down syndrome is caused by trisomy of chromosome 21. To date, a multiplicity of mouse models with Down-syndrome-related features has been developed to understand this complex human chromosomal disorder. These mouse models have been important for determining genotype-phenotype relationships and identification of dosage-sensitive genes involved in the pathophysiology of the condition, and in exploring the impact of the additional chromosome on the whole genome. Mouse models of Down syndrome have also been used to test therapeutic strategies. Here, we provide an overview of research in the last 15 years dedicated to the development and application of rodent models for Down syndrome. We also speculate on possible and probable future directions of research in this fast-moving field. As our understanding of the syndrome improves and genome engineering technologies evolve, it is necessary to coordinate efforts to make all Down syndrome models available to the community, to test therapeutics in models that replicate the whole trisomy and design new animal models to promote further discovery of potential therapeutic targets.

Brunei’s trade registered an increase of 29.2 per cent in third quarter (Q3) 2022 compared to Q3 2021. This was mainly contributed by the growth of chemicals index at 30.4 per cent, followed by food (+25.3 per cent) and beverages (9.4 per cent).
Total exports increased by 32.2 per cent from BND3,923.2 million in Q3 2022 to BND5,187.5 million in Q3 2021. This increase was due to a rise in the exports unit value index by 41.8 per cent, which was mainly contributed by mineral fuels (+43.8 per cent), food (+25.4 per cent) and beverages (+17.3 per cent). Rising prices of these commodities in the world market was the key driving force towards the increase in exports unit value index.
The exports volume index fell by 25.9 per cent compared to Q3 2021, contributed by the decline in the exports volume index of crude materials inedible (-39.8 per cent), chemicals (-36.5 per cent) and miscellaneous manufactured articles (-29 per cent).
The total imports in Q3 2022 also increased by 23.3 per cent compared to Q3 2021 due to the rise in the import unit value index and the imports volume index by 9.8 per cent and 1.3 per cent, respectively. The rise in the imports unit value index was mainly contributed by mineral fuels (+42.1 per cent), vegetables oils and fats (+37 per cent) and manufactured goods (+30.7 per cent).
Meanwhile, the increase in the imports volume index was attributed by an increase in the imports volume index of food (+17.6 per cent); crude materials inedible (+7.5 per cent); and manufactured goods (+6.0 per cent).

Celebrating theatre from the Arab World in 2021
This special project is based on the first published 1994 play entitled Willy Protagoras enfermé dans les toilettes by Wajdi Mouawad, award-winning playwright and director of the national Théâtre de la Colline in Paris.
Online in 2020-2021, the Sorbonne University Abu Dhabi theatre programme focuses on theatre related to the Arab world, celebrating esteemed authors with origins in the MENA. Starting with Lebanese-Canadian Mouawad, SUAD students have created a first English translation of his play and adapted it for a 2021 video launch as part of their final project for the academic year.
The project is an original creation led by SUAD students: Haleema Farahani, Meriem Bouimout and Kaouther Zammazi, inviting SUAD alumnus Qais Shamseddin. The project features personal photographs from cast and crew as background visuals for Zoom-ed scenes, depicting the drama set in Lebanon. The virtual play also stars talented actors from the U.A.E community and abroad, comprising a culturally diverse, international cast that is able to come together by teleconferencing from 5 different countries/cities.
An homage to history, architecture & preservation
Protagoras Confined video project visuals feature prominently iconic architecture of Beirut. In Acts I and V, Beit Beirut façade seen from Sodeco Square is used as the backdrop for the action.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WELCOME HOME
Good morning friends. Another beautiful bright and sunny day here in Maryland. The air is cool and brisk and perfect for just a sweater. I walked around my garden this morning and it was raining leaves all around me. There was that familiar smell of someone burning leaves somewhere in the distance. I could hear the crunch and crinkle of the leaves at my feet and my senses were waking up to the crisp clean smell of autumn air. The crab apples have fallen and the birds were all around me trying to gather them. Squirrels were out digging up the nuts they had stored for this time of year and I even saw a chipmunk filling his cheeks for of berries and seeds to take back to his little home.
Welcome Home turns two years old today. And what a thrill it is to see that over half a million followers come here to find comfort. Whether it is in my cooking or my stories or the fact that I am on a mission to save lives and spread kindness. I would like to hope that you are all on this journey with me and that we can work together to make this world a better place.
I have to say that my experience here on Facebook over the last two years has not always been easy. It has been challenging and full of set backs to say the least. However, every setback, whatever it was here at Welcome Home, turned into a blessing and created an opportunity of commitment and renewal. I have to remember that God is sovereign and there’s a peace that comes from my knowledge that God is in control and things will work out in their own time. When we believe that our lives have purpose and that every trial comes to make us stronger and wiser, we will be able to accept each “setback” as a “setup” for future blessings. And blessings here at Welcome Home over the last two years have far outweighed the setbacks.
My Mom used to say, "May all those tough times bring out the best in you baby girl. I pray that they make you stronger and make you even more diligent. She would say, "I hope that someday you will realize that your instincts and gut feelings have great value and you should trust every one of them. These are God's whispers that allow you to prepare when disappointment is approaching."
She would always tell me that blessings are everywhere.... even when we can't see them.... and God always has a bigger plan. She would remind me that my attitude will effect the outcome of my disappointment. Read that again.....it took me years to understand what she was saying. My attitude will greatly effect the outcome of my disappointment. Now I know that she meant those challenges are often gifts in disguise and a positive attitude will make things go much smoother.
Even when I was very young, I knew that my Mom was a wise woman and I would hang on her every word. As I look back and reflect on so many of the lessons she taught me about life, I can see their meaning more clearly now. She used to tell me that God had given me skills and talents that I am unaware of now, yet someday I will use those very skills and talents to be a positive influence on many people, and one day it will bring me great comfort in knowing that I have changed lives in some way. She used to say, "life is not as fulfilling if you don't use it to bring comfort and joy to others." How profound those words are to me now as her prophecy has come to pass.
So today I will not think of the setbacks. I will know that my Mom and my God have something else planned for me here at Welcome Home as they gather so many people from every corner of the earth to cross my path and bring them to a place of comfort. I will wait for the blessings to come. I will value today as a blessing to be enjoyed and I will see that each person that crosses my path is put here for a reason and that they are unique and important. I will see that each moment of my life has meaning. | [

Today, happening young hero Vijay Deverakonda celebrates how 29th birthday. The talented actor has taken a unique decision to celebrate this special day and is throwing a party to the entire city of Hyderabad.
Vijay Deverakonda has employed his team to ply three mini trucks named “The Deverakonda Birthday Truck”, each of them carrying ice cream in various parts of Hyderabad. People from all walks of life can grab a free ice cream at these trucks. “Send me pictures so I can see your happy faces. It would make me happy to see your happy faces,” Vijay tweeted. Indeed a ‘cool’ way to celebrate one’s birthday!
A few days of shooting in the Sun made me think of this.
What if I got 3 ice cream trucks to drive around the city and give out free ice cream to everyone going about their day in the heat. The traffic cops, the street vendors, students, employees. pic.twitter.com/tisrb8Ot6m

Poland is a beautiful country with diverse landscapes that make it an ideal place to explore. If you’re planning to visit or live in Poland, it’s important to understand the rules regarding driving licenses. This article provides information about driving licenses for foreign nationals in Poland.
General rules regarding driving licences for foreign nationals in Poland
Foreign nationals visiting or planning to live in Poland can use their driving license from their home country for up to six months. After this period, they must obtain a Polish driving license. The six-month period starts from the date of their arrival in Poland, not the date they obtained their driving license.
Agreements in place for exchanging driving license
There are reciprocal agreements in place between Poland and some countries that allow foreign nationals to exchange their driving license for a Polish one without having to take a driving test. The list of countries is subject to change, so it’s important to check with the relevant authorities before traveling to Poland.
Procedure for exchanging, obtaining, renewing a driving license in Poland
Obtaining a driving license
To obtain a Polish driving license, you’ll need to apply at the relevant voivodeship office. You’ll need to fill out an application form, provide proof of identity, proof of residency, and pass a theory and practical driving test. The process can take several weeks to complete.
Renewing a driving license
A Polish driving license is valid for 15 years for drivers under the age of 70 and three years for drivers over the age of 70. If your driving license is expiring soon, you’ll need to renew it. You can renew your driving license at the relevant voivodeship office. You’ll need to bring your current driving license, proof of identity, and proof of residency.
Contact details of relevant government departments or agencies
- Voivodeship offices: https://www.gov.pl/web/gov/voivodeship-offices
International Driving Permit (IDP)
An International Driving Permit (IDP) is recognized in Poland. However, it’s important to note that an IDP is not a standalone document. It must be accompanied by your original driving license from your home country.
An IDP is valid for one year from the date of issue. If you’re planning to stay in Poland for longer than a year, you’ll need to obtain a Polish driving license.
Penalty system for motoring offences in relation to driving licences
If you’re caught committing a motoring offence while driving in Poland, you may be issued with a fine, penalty points, or even have your driving license suspended or revoked. The severity of the penalty depends on the type of offence committed.
Minor offences, such as speeding or driving without a seatbelt, may result in a fine or penalty points. More serious offences, such as driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, may result in a driving ban, a fine, or even imprisonment.
It’s important to note that if you commit a motoring offence while driving in Poland using your foreign driving license, you may still be subject to penalties, even after you’ve left the country. Poland has strict laws and regulations regarding road safety, and it’s important to adhere to them to avoid any legal issues.
Having a driving license can make it easier to travel and explore Poland. Foreign nationals can use their driving license from their home country for up to six months. Some foreign nationals may be able to exchange their driving license for a Polish one without having to take a driving test.
Renewing your driving license is a simple process that can be done at the relevant voivodeship office. If you’re caught committing a motoring offence in Poland, you may be subject to penalties, which can range from fines to imprisonment, depending on the severity of the offence.
By understanding the rules and procedures regarding driving licenses in Poland, you can ensure that you’re driving legally and safely during your time in the country. It’s important to adhere to road safety laws and regulations to avoid any legal issues while driving in Poland. | [

Charleston unveiling new sea level rise strategy
CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCIV) —
Charleston City Council plans to address changes to its sea level rise strategy Tuesday.
City leaders will focus on solutions to improve the city's infrastructure and protect the city's economy while also protecting citizens, their property from rising sea levels.
A first look at the strategy shows it has been broken down into categories, based on priorities citywide.
- Infrastructure: What the city is doing to manage story water to prevent further damage to more vulnerable areas.
- Governance: Promoting regulations to protect long-term interests both public and private.
- Resources: Making sure staffing and funds are sufficient, so that the goals of the sea level rise strategy are met.
- Land Use: Making sure how the city is growing avoids areas that may be deemed risky.
- Outreach: Educating people on the threat sea levels pose to the community.
Council members say they're also looking to work with the community to learn how to better manage storm water and other factors that may add to the problem of rising tides.
City officials say the new strategy will be built upon current projects in the works and completed all over the Lowcountry.

This post is sponsored by Pantene. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Whoever said cheating was a bad thing has clearly never had to go 3-4 days without washing her hair. Let's be real, if you have curly, thick, or colored hair (or all three like me), you know wash days are the worst. First, it's an inevitable bad hair day and second, it just consumes so much time from your routine (blow drying, straightening, and then styling) especially when you run a tight schedule like me. If I'm not in meetings, I'm writing, or shooting, or styling a campaign, or coming up with the next big idea, or painting, or simply enjoying some quality time with bae. So, to sum it up, ain't nobody got time for washes!
But ok, what happens between washes? Cause let's be honest, hair starts looking dull, greasy, and in my case… it starts feeling all crunchy from the heat I'd been applying. So, after 3-4 days, you start asking yourself this question: To Wash or Not to Wash?
The other day, while I was getting ready for a meeting and had no time to deal with my dull hair, I thought for a quick second, "should I just wash it really quick?" The struggle was so real I decided to pull it up into a sort of cute-but-really-messy bun. I told myself, "I need a solution" and solution manifested! The next morning, as crazy as it sounds, I received in the mail a package from Pantene with the brand new Waterless Collection that includes the Cheat Day Dry Shampoo Foam and the Mist Behaving Dry Conditioner Mist.*3,2,1, my mind starts racing* "Oh yay! I really needed a dry shampoo. But it's foam. Hmmm. Oh wow! Dry conditioner? How does a dry conditioner even work?"
It was day 4 and I had a possible solution to all my hair problems in front of me, so I tried the dang thing.
BTW, here are some tips before trying the new Pantene Waterless Collection:
TIP 1: When using the Cheat Day Dry Shampoo Foam: First, section your hair, then shake the can well and dispense a small amount of foam into your fingertips - NOT. directly. to. your. roots. Then rub it all in. Also, your hair is going to feel wet at first but it's normal, it'll dry quickly.
TIP 2: When using the Mist Behaving Dry Conditioner Mist: Spray from the mid-lengths and downwards on dry hair. DON’T spray at your roots.
And get this, both products are completely different than anything I've seen in the market so far. While the average dry shampoo can make your hair feel rough and dull your color after application, Pantene’s Cheat Day Dry Shampoo Foam softens while it cleanses. Its lusciously whipped cleansing foam dissolved all the greasy oils and freshened up my waves in a matter of seconds. It was literally like hitting a reset button on my hair.
And when combined with the Pantene Mist Behaving Dry Conditioner, magic happens! The Pantene Mist Behaving Dry Conditioner is like the love child of a leave-in conditioner and a styling spray. The super-fine mist evenly distributes its nourishing ingredients on frizzy, tangled hair transforming it into silky smooth hair while delivering 24-hour frizz protection. The best part is both products are free of sulfates and parabens!
I mean, can I get a hair flip over here? Thank you!
So, like I said, it was day 4 but after applying these products, my hair looked more like day 2 - and we all know second day hair is the best hair day. With that said, I decided to secretly challenge myself to see how long I could go without getting my hair wet.
I pictured my friends and I bidding on it. Just imagine: “Can I get 5 days! 5 days to the lady with the curly hair. 6 days? 6 days? 6 days goes to the lady with the colored/treated hair! 7 days? We got 7! 7 going once, 7 going twice, SOLD! 7 days to the lady with curly, thick, colored hair!"
So, 7 days it was. I accepted my personal challenge and went 7 straight days without washing my hair, not because I was too lazy or even too busy, but because I wanted to see how good the Pantene Waterless Collection really was after a while.
After the 7th day, I am happy to report back from the Hair Gods, that our prayers have all been listened to. These products truly understand my needs, my schedule and my hair. Take it from | [

An Auckland fisherman and his family were treated to one of the world's most beautiful sights after they were surrounded by friendly orca while out near Waiheke.
On Saturday morning Casper Heunis was out fishing on his boat with friends and family close to Motuihe Island when he spotted a group of what he thought were dolphins in the distance.
Moments later two orcas appeared from nowhere and started swimming near his boat.
Heunis pulled out his phone and started recording the stunning encounter.
He told the Herald they were so majestic.
"We left fishing to go around Waiheke to a spot known for kingfish. As we drove there I saw the fin sticking out of the water again, this time a lot closer to us.
"It was a large one, much bigger than a dolphin. We stopped and suddenly these two orca came to the boat.
"It's such a massive creature. They looked around 3m in length. When you see it, it's so majestic. It was amazing."
In the video, one of the orca whales can be seen blowing water out of its water hole, giving those on board a thrilling moment.
Heunis can be heard saying "Wow. Wow. Wow. Amazing."
While the close encounter lasted about 30 seconds, Heunis said they had close to two hours of uninterrupted viewing of the orca from a distance.
He told the Herald there were more than 20 in the pod.
"There were no other boats out, it was just us, and they were in the water popping up for a good two hours. It was incredible.
"The 7-year-old on board was a little nervous but eventually they warmed up to what they saw and thought it was stunning. I'll 100 per cent cherish this.
"There were probably more than 20 in their pod. It was amazing. They just kept on coming and popping up around the boat."
While the encounter was magical for the fisherman, experts have reminded those on the water not to feed orca.
The feeding of marine mammals is illegal in New Zealand.
An orca researcher said even though it may be innocent, encouraging them to take bait could result in orca taking bait in future that could have hooks in it.
They warn against feeding as it could encourage orca to follow fisherman and change feeding habits which could endanger them. | [

They don’t just happen.
You don’t wake up and voila! The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, the skies are crystal clear and every moment is spectacular. It takes work — it takes real, honest, gritty, tiresome, frustrating, hard and disciplined effort to make moments meaningful.
There are extra special moments that happen, for sure, like the weddings, the babies, the vacations, the holidays, the family reunions and all the other extras. And their certainly are the yikes! moments. But for the most part, life is ordinary. It’s made up of humdrum, steady Betty, mundane and monotonous moments
Try this for a second. Reflect on your favourite memories.
Your sister’s wedding.
Seeing your newborn child for the first time.
Celebrating your 18th birthday.
Getting your driver’s license.
Petting a giraffe.
Now reflect on a few moments you’d just as soon forget.
Getting the chicken pox.
Causing that car accident.
The pain of that broken arm.
Your first epic heartbreak.
And that disappointed look on your boss’s face when you messed up big time.
Now what about the moments that are just as special but are considered ordinary?
Coffee in the morning.
Cutting the grass.
The special events have meaning because they’re moments that happen few and far between. They’re not the norm of everyday life, so naturally they have special written all over them.
The “I’d rather forget” moments have memory because they were also out of the ordinary. They may have been hard, painful and disappointing, but they taught you something none-the-less and forced you to learn some kind of valuable lesson. Thus creating meaning.
But what about the ordinary moments?
Do the ordinary moments have to be less meaningful just because they’re ordinary?
In their book, The Power of Moments, Chip & Dan Heath teach us how people’s most positive moments share certain traits in common:
- Elevation — being lifted out of the ordinary
- Insight — shaping the way we see the world
- Connection — deepening our ties with others
Your sister’s wedding, for example, features all three:
- Elevation — the delicious meal, the dancing, the fancy clothes
- Insight — the toasts, the stories, the special speeches
- Connection — the pictures, the gathering of family and the celebrating of such a momentous occasion for your sister
Or that epic car crash, which also features all three:
- Elevation — the adrenaline rush, the racing heart beat, the heightened stress of thoughts and prayers and every other emotion in between
- Insight — the realization of how lucky you are to be alive as you remind yourself you will never take another day for granted again
- Connection — as you share the story with other people you share conversation and connection about the true meaning of life
So if we understand that extra special moments and unforgettable moments are made up of three key features … why can’t we intentionally think about and apply these same features to our simple, everyday, seemingly insignificant and otherwise ordinary moments?
First thing in the morning.
Quiet time with God.
- Elevation — your heart finds peace. Your mind finds ease. And your soul finds renewed purpose.
- Insight — you realize that today, this day, this moment, the here and now, is a beautiful and important moment
- Connection — you know you’re loved. You know you’re known. You know this moment matters.
“So here’s what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering.” —Romans 12:1 (MSG)
So don’t wait for meaningful moments to happen, create them. These exceptional minutes and hours and days we are living are what make like meaningful. | [

The classic method for initializing reservoir simulation models in the presence of a transition zone, based on primary drainage capillary-gravity equilibrium, is extended to account for partial reimbibition post oil migration. This tackles situations where structural events, such as trap tilting or caprock leakage, caused the current free-water level (FWL) to rise above deeper paleo-contacts. A preliminary primary drainage initialization is performed with zero capillary pressure at the paleo (or deepest historical) FWL, to obtain a minimum historical water saturation distribution. From a capillary pressure hysteresis model, it is then possible to determine the appropriate imbibition scanning curve for each gridblock, which are used to perform a second initialization with zero capillary pressure at the current FWL. With the proposed method, log-derived saturation profiles can be honored using a physically meaningful capillary pressure model. Furthermore, when relative permeability hysteresis is active, it is possible as a byproduct of the initialization to assign the correct scanning curves at time zero to each gridblock, which ensures that initial phase mobilities (hence reservoir productivity) and residual oil saturation (hence recoverable oil to waterflood) are modeled correctly. This is demonstrated with a synthetic vertical 1D model. The method was implemented in a commercial reservoir simulator to support modeling work for a giant undeveloped carbonate reservoir, where available data suggest that more than 3/4 of the initial oil in place could be located between the current FWL and a dome-shaped paleo-FWL. This work is used as a case study to illustrate the elegance of the proposed method in the presence of multiple (or tilted) paleo-FWLs, as only one set of capillary pressure curves per dynamic rock-type is required to honor the complex logderived saturation distribution.
Short-term production and injection optimization are best approached from an integrated surface/subsurface perspective, recognizing that well performance is driven by competition for an existing network hydraulic capacity.
This paper presents a tool for real-time optimization (RTO) of water-injection systems at the scheduling time scale (i.e., days to months). Its development stemmed from the observation that operations such as pigging or shutting manifolds for rig activity might disrupt the injection network balance; hence, injectors would benefit from quick control readjustments. Furthermore, an existing network is not necessarily able to distribute available water where desired, and control compromises best found by an optimizer should be sought.
It is assumed that reservoir conditions are stationary, and injection targets at any level of granularity (well, reservoir segment, or field level) have been established based on subsurface requirements. By use of performance curves for each injector and either a simplified or a full-fledged network model, the algorithm finds a set of optimal well controls with a steepest-descent method implemented in Microsoft (2016) Visual Basic for Applications (VBA). The interface is spreadsheet-based, facilitating updates in well-performance data or changes in reservoir requirements. When needed by the algorithm, a third-party hydraulic-flow simulator able to balance the system from the injection modules down to the manifolds is called through an application programming interface.
A case study is presented, illustrating how the tool has been used to estimate the benefits of installing wellhead chokes on the currently more than 200 active injection strings of a giant oil field offshore Abu Dhabi.

Coupling is performed periodically at the wellhead, using a reservoir simulator in which the field manager controls the reservoir models by supplying well constraints and controls the network models by supplying well performance curves. Allocation strategies and pressure and flow constraints are imposed by the field manager, for which the different sub-models are black boxes; the models themselves are controlled hydraulically without embedded production or injection constraints. This explicit approach has been selected for its flexibility. In particular, by expressing rates at the surfacesub | [

Fleas are the most common external parasite that can affect your dog or cat. Here, our Clemmons vet explains how to spot fleas on your pet and what you can do to get rid of fleas.
What are fleas?
Fleas are an external parasite that depend upon a host animal for their survival. Once fleas find your pet, the adult fleas will reproduce and thrive on your dog, and in your home, until you break their lifecycle.
What signs of flea infestation should I look for?
Dogs and cats that are allergic to the protein in flea saliva, will itch or scratch as soon as a flea bites their skin. A single flea bite can cause pets to scratch excessively and become agitated.
As well as itching, red pimples or bumps on your pet's groin, belly, under the legs, or at the base of their tail may be a sign that your pet has fleas. Hair loss and dry skin due to scratching may also be a sign of fleas on your dog or cat.
Leaving fleas untreated can lead to lesions and infection, or even develop into more severe diseases.
How can I check my pet for fleas?
To look for fleas, comb or brush your pet carefully, regularly examining the brush or comb for adult fleas. During grooming, be sure to examine thinly haired areas, like your pet's abdomen, for signs of fleas.
Adult fleas are small, brown and easy to see with the naked eye. However, when checking your pet for signs of fleas, also keep an eye out for flea feces (flea dirt). Flea dirt looks similar to black pepper or tiny grains of sand that turn red when wet.
Have your pet stand over a white towel or sheet while you groom them. This will make the dark flea dirt easy to spot as it falls onto the fabric while your pet is being groomed.
What if I can’t find any fleas, but my pet is still scratching?
Bring your dog or cat to the vet if they seem uncomfortable but there are no signs of fleas. Veterinarians can administer a skin test to check for flea allergies, and also test your pet for other possible allergies.
If my cat or dog does have fleas, how do I get rid of them?
Effective treatment options to prevent or eliminate fleas are available from your vet and include powders, sprays, shampoos and topical liquids. Your vet may prescribe creams and antibiotics in severe cases.
Prevention and prompt treatment of fleas are the best ways to ensure that your dog or cat doesn't develop more serious issues down the road. Speak to your Clemmons vet about flea prevention options.

Starting in 2009, Rimtec will serve the North American market through Zeon Chemicals, the US subsidiary of Rimtec’s parent Zeon Corporation.
The patented DCPD-based RIM process originated in the laboratories of BFGoodrich and was licensed to the Japanese company Rimtec and its European subsidiary Telene SAS, allowing them to successfully create a market for large to very large parts produced in limited series. Now Telene has been introduced for widespread use in the United States and Canada at the American Composites Manufacturers Association Composites + Polycon 2009 Show.
Telene is based on extra-high purity dicyclopentadiene (DCPD) – mixed with other norbornene monomers – that reacts via a Ring Opening Metatheseis Polymerization. Standard RIM equipment with a self-cleaning mixing head is used to process the low viscous liquid, injecting the material into a closed mould at low pressure and temperature. Within approximately four to six minutes for most applications, the parts are easily removed with no need for release agents.
“Our commitment is to provide North American designers with the most advanced materials and processes,” says Alexander Daemen, Rimtec Vice-President Global Sales and Marketing. “We are expanding our North American Telene team and are leveraging the successful logistical and back-office infrastructure of Zeon Chemicals.”
Telene is currently used in a variety of applications such as body panels in agricultural and earth moving equipment, and trucks and buses. It has been selected by leading global OEMs such as John Deere, Volvo, Caterpillar, JCB, CNH Komatsu, Claas, AGCO and Rostselmash.
Ashley Industrial Molding, a supplier to John Deere, has chosen Telene for its thermal, chemical and acoustic properties. Ashley president Rod Schoon says, “We’ve found Telene to be an excellent complement to our SMC capability, and it allows our design engineers to choose the strength and toughness they need while giving them the option for tooling a range of series sizes.”

Green Coffee Vs Roasted Coffee? To say the least, I found the whole procedure intimidating when I first started roasting my coffee beans at home. It’s enough to make your mind spin when it comes to special equipment, coffee kinds, and roast degrees. But now that I’m a seasoned roaster, I’ve realized that the easiest approach to grasp this process is to simplify it as much as possible. Let’s start at the beginning: what are the distinctions between green coffee vs roasted coffee?
Green coffee beans are unroasted coffee beans. Green coffee beans are unroasted, while light to dark brown coffee beans have been roasted. While green beans can be used to make coffee, the flavor is woody, acidic, and unpleasant when compared to coffee made with roasted beans.
While you probably wouldn’t brew a cup of coffee with green coffee beans, the quality of green beans does matter. If you want to start roasting coffee at home, you’ll need to know what happens to your beans during the roasting process and what constitutes an excellent unroasted bean. If you’re intrigued, keep reading!
What Is the Difference Between Green and Roasted Coffee?
The roasting process is almost magical. Coffee beans aren’t particularly appealing in their natural state. They’re tough, harsh, acidic, and generally unpleasant to eat. When raw coffee is roasted, however, chemical reactions occur inside the beans, revealing previously hidden flavors.
The inherent sugars in coffee beans begin to oxidize when exposed to heat, resulting in a process known as caramelization. Caramelization brings out the sweet, nutty flavors that are generally associated with a good cup of coffee. It’s also responsible for the dark brown color of roasted coffee beans. However, caramelization is not the only thing that happens during roasting.
Green coffee beans have a harsh, acidic flavor due to the high acid content of coffee. Coffee beans’ acidity begins to mellow and become more balanced when roasted, resulting in a significantly more agreeable taste.
The more acid is pulled out of the beans and the more caramelization occurs, the longer they are roasted.
You could believe that the goal is to eliminate as much acidity as possible, but hold your horses! Not all acids found in coffee beans are harmful. The flowery, fruity, complex flavors found in raw coffee beans are due to a combination of acids. Caramelization, on the other hand, gives your beans a deep, full-bodied flavor, but too much can result in a bitter, burnt flavor.
It helps me to conceive of roasting as a process of striking the ideal balance between the natural flavors of the coffee bean and the flavors provided during roasting. Finding the “perfect” balance is absolutely subjective, but that’s part of what makes roasting so enjoyable!
Green Coffee Vs Roasted Coffee: Major Differences
|Light to Dark Brown
|Lower acid the darker the roast
|Bitter & Woody
|Complex (nutty, flowery, smoky, caramelly)
How to Pick the Right Green Beans
It takes more than just dumping any old raw bean into the roaster to make high-quality roasted beans. It’s important to remember that you can’t boil quality into beans. If you want to make outstanding coffee, start with the best unroasted beans you can find. The question is, how can you tell if a coffee bean is of great quality?
When buying green coffee, the first thing to look for is homogeneity. Beans of varying sizes may roast unevenly, resulting in a flavor that is unexpected. Smaller beans burn more quickly than larger ones, potentially destroying your coffee!
Raw coffee can be stored for up to 18 months under optimum conditions. Green beans that are older than that quickly lose their flavor. Always check the harvest date when hunting for green coffee beans. If it’s been more than 18 months, don’t waste your time unless you want bland coffee.
Green beans frequently have information on the bag indicating how the beans were handled after harvesting. This information is crucial for determining what flavor to expect from the beans, but the nomenclature might be confusing. Here are some commonly used phrases and their definitions:
Dry Processed: The coffee plant’s fruit is sun-dried with the coffee beans still inside in this old-school manner. These beans have a delicious, chocolaty flavor with a trace of fermentation. To preserve the delicate fruity aromas, they respond best to gentler roasting processes.
Washed: This is the most prevalent method of coffee bean processing. It means that after processing, the coffee bean is removed from the fruit and promptly transferred to a holding tank to remove any remaining pulp. Washed beans have a fresh, light, and tangy flavor. Washed beans are the way to go if you want a more regular, predictable coffee flavor. | [

Konami often cross-referenced and parodized their own IPs in the early 90’s. Be it one of the mechanical mid-bosses of Rocket Knight Adventures doing its best Gradius impression or the infamous Konami code killing the player instead of granting them 30 lives every now and then, you were bound to recognize the nods and humor if you’ve played a decent number of their games. Kid Dracula attempted to do for the Castlevania franchise what Parodius did for Gradius– offer up an adorable spinoff loosely based on the source material. While the Famicom game never made it overseas (most likely due to characters that resembled KKK members and a particular mini-game that involved guessing the panty colors of some burlesque dancers), the US was fortunate enough to get the Game-Boy version in 1993.
Despite this being the first (and only) Kid Dracula game the States received, the plot still carries on as a sort of sequel. The game centers around a childlike version of Alucard who (thought) he disposed of a beast known as Garamoth in the previous adventure. Unfortunately for Alucard, a reaper informs him that Garamoth has returned and is “stronger than before”. Although I had no idea who the hell Garamoth was until late into the game, I still adored the opening cinematic and the various facial expressions during the conversation between Alucard and the mentor. What could have easily been a wall of text or static images is something with a great deal of charm, even though plot is hardly a necessity for this type of game.
On the subject of charm, it’s one thing that Kid Dracula has no shortage of. The game is full of cute, goofy renditions of enemies one would typically find in a Castlevania game. There are skeletons who dance around and roll their heads across the floor when hit and winking witches among others. Big heads and eyes bugging out whenever a monster (or boss) is hit are staples during the adventure. Alucard himself has an equal amount of expression, and this even extends to the HUD. Whenever a shot is charging up, Alucard’s face will change from neutral to aggressive on the HUD. The set pieces and backgrounds are also well-done, and I experienced few instances of slow-down. If I’m honest, Kid Dracula is probably one of the best looking games on the Game-Boy that I’ve played to date.
The soundtrack is also memorable and full of bright, peppy tunes that mesh well with the goofy, alternate Transylvania that the game is set in. The game opens with a tune that will remind Castlevania fans of “Beginnings”, which plays at the beginning of Dracula’s Curse. The theme for the third stage, which revolves around a series of rollercoaster rides, is especially energetic. Curiously, there’s even a rendition of Golliwog’s Cakewalk in here.
Kid Dracula plays similar to the classic Mega-Man games, having an emphasis on running, jumping and shooting. In addition, Alucard learns new “spells” as the game progresses. He starts out with the “Bat” transformation that allows him to turn into a bat and fly around for a few seconds at a time. Eventually, he learns to fire homing shots and walk upside-down. Also similar to Mega-Man is that the power-ups are never truly needed except in certain situations, such as needing to go upside-down to cross a bed of spikes or using the Bat Umbrella to plow through a bunch of enemies as a ceiling collapses.
In between rounds, you’re given a chance to earn extra coins (which are earned in levels by killing monsters with charged blasts) or extra lives via a selection of mini-games. While extra lives are never found in the main stages, it’s quite easy to rack up an impressive amount via the “Grab Bat” minigame since it’s the only one that isn’t based on chance.
Despite Konami games being notorious for their incredibly high level of difficulty, I found Kid Dracula to be a breeze in comparison. There are few moments where the levels offer a challenging platforming gauntlet and it’s not until later in the game that you’re required to think a few steps ahead in order to succeed. In addition, while the bosses are charming, they follow fairly simple patterns with the exception of the final encounter with Garamoth. In addition, it’s pretty easy to get upwards of 50-60 lives by grinding the minigames, assuring you’ll never get a Game Over. While I had a blast the entire time through, I do feel that some of the spells went underutilized. I would have loved | [

Three Approaches from Europe: Waldorf, Montessori, and Reggio Emilia.
Edwards, Carolyn Pope
Early Childhood Research & Practice, v4 n1 Spr 2002
Waldorf, Montessori, and Reggio Emilia are three progressive approaches to early childhood education that appear to be growing in influence in North America and to have many points in common. This article provides a brief comparative introduction of these models and highlights several key areas of similarity and contrast. All three approaches represent an explicit idealism and turn away from war and violence toward peace and reconstruction. They are built on coherent visions of how to improve human society by helping children realize their full potential as intelligent, creative, whole persons. In each approach, children are viewed as active authors of their own development, strongly influenced by natural, dynamic, self-righting forces within themselves, opening the way toward growth and learning. Teachers depend on carefully prepared, aesthetically pleasing environments that serve as a pedagogical tool and provide strong messages about the curriculum and about respect for children. Partnering with parents is highly valued in all three approaches, and children are evaluated by means other than traditional tests and grades. However, there are also many areas of difference, some at the level of principle and others at the level of strategy. Underlying the three approaches are variant views of the nature of young children's needs, interests, and modes of learning that lead to contrasts in the ways that teachers interact with children in the classroom, frame and structure learning experiences for children, and follow the children through observation/documentation. The article concludes with a discussion of the methods that researchers apply to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of each approach. (Contains 43 references.) (Author/HTH)

An essay I wrote on “The Aztec imagery and digital soundworld of Mexican producer Javier Estrada” is available in the current issue of Frieze. In it I explore resonances between global genres in the internet age, Atomik Aztex (the novel), Oscar Zeta Acosta, Aztec-inspired notions of cyclical time and our favorite hummingbird god, plus a pragmatic approach to the issue of “aliens” coupled with advice on how to exit the category of speed. Javier’s work is generous, complicated, and inspires these sort of linkages.

On a recent Brooklyn bound A-train ride, Geko and I were feverishly brainstorming places to host a New York performance for Titica, once we found out she wouldn’t be able to stay in town for Que Bajo next Thursday. Feeling like now is a crucial time for LGBTQ issues in Africa, we didn’t want to miss the opportunity for Titica to gain some visibility outside of her home context, and help open up the dialogue in regards to what is permissible in the realm of “African values.†While that will perhaps be a longer fight, the “Space” problem was quickly resolved when our traveling companion Thanu Yakupitiyage offered her iBomba party at Bembe on Monday night. Thanu’s work and focus made for quite the serendipitous pairing, perfect to host Titica in NY, thus initiating a kind of an informal inaugural collaboration between Thanu and Dutty Artz, the collective of cultural agitators with its spiritual heart in the county of Kings, New York.
On the eve of that event, it is my pleasure to introduce Thanu as the collective’s newest official member (something we’ve been planning before that fateful train ride)! While we’ve been bringing you blog posts, music, parties and merchandise of various sorts for a few years now, Dutty Artz has been steadily heading in a direction in which we’re trying to find ways to expand beyond music and the limitations of the Internet. It has always been our desire to facilitate ways to nurture a creative community across social and cultural borders. Adding Thanu to the lineup is a key part of us manifesting that intention in the real world!
Thanu traverses the lines between immigrant rights activist, media producer, researcher, and political/cultural organizer. Reppin’ Sri Lanka via Thailand and Massachusetts she’s now based in Brooklyn, and has been in New York since 2007 where she has worked for organizations highlighting youth media, racial justice, and immigrant rights. When Occupy Wall Street kicked into gear in the Fall of 2011, Thanu was part of a crew of organizers of color who started the People of Color Caucus in order to highlight and organize around issues faced by communities of color that were being ignored by the larger OWS movement.

The episode of Panji Semirang tells another version of the story. The story begins with the disappearance of Candra Kirana from the palace. After Candra Kirana disappears, a princess who claims to be Candra Kirana, though different in appearance, attempts to console Prince Panji, and alleges that she was carried off by Durga, and will regain her original appearance as soon as they are married. Panji orders preparations for the wedding to resume, not knowing that the consoler is in reality a demon-princess who wants Panji for herself.
Meanwhile, the true Candra Kirana, alone in the forest, is advised by the gods that she must return to the palace disguised as a man to be reunited with Panji. She does so, and upon entering the city, discovers the wedding plans to the false Candra Kirana, delivers a letter to Panji revealing the true situation, and vanishes. Upon discovering this, Panji rushes to search for his love while his courtiers kill the demonic impostor.
Panji in his search undergoes many adventures, staying in forests with hermits, working as a servant in different palaces, always hoping to find traces of his lost bride. Candra Kirana, meanwhile, continues in her male disguise, undergoes her own set of adventures, and ends up as the king of Bali. In the climax of the story, Panji and Candra Kirana unknowingly oppose each other on the battlefield. There, as witnesses are ordered to leave, she confides to her opponent that she is the bride of Panji, and that the disguise was assumed because of a command of the gods that she could win back her prince only in a face-to-face combat where his blood is made to flow. Still not aware that she is fighting her prince, they continue the fight with swords and arrows, but she is unable to harm him until she resorts to her hairpin. As Panji is wounded, he reveals his identity, and they are happily reunited. | [

I thought about writing a bunch about my vacation, but it's awful hard to capture stuff like that for people who haven't been there. I'll make a Farisian list, because of its inherent economy of words.
1. Went to Carhaix Friday-Sunday to deliver a bike to my friend there, Gabby. Stayed there for two days, rode bikes and watched some "Strangers With Candy" and "Arrested Development" and just kinda chilled. It was nice.
2. Rennes was Monday-Wednesday, with Gabby and her two friends April and Jacob. She calls her friend April "Apes", which is amusing. We drank a lot Monday, walked around a lot on Tuesday, Wednesday went to the Musée des Beaux-Arts and ate Indian food for All Hallow's Eve.
3. Thursday-Saturday was some good ol' nostalgia time in Le Havre. Hung out with my old Prof. Responsable and watched her get smashed on Thursday night, went to some old haunts on Friday (including the Kebap where we would eat every Tuesday night: the owner, Danny, still remembered me and my order after 1.5 years), and saw my friends Béa and Jean. Received bicycle.
BTW, if you ever think that it's a fun idea to take a bicycle (and an extra wheel, a floor pump, and all of your other shit for vacationing) on both the TGV and the Paris Metro, you are a damn fool. My arms hurt, and it was not so much fun to sit in the entrance of the train for four hours to move my bike and wheels every time the train stopped so people could get out of the train. But the Motobecane is back in action (sorta, still needs some more transplant surgery from the Gitane), and I took it for a short spin tonight.
Now I'm back in Morlaix, but don't have to teach until Friday. I guess I'll try to write some astronomy articles and ride my bike until then. | [

Marine Scotland has awarded a contract to ABPmer to prepare the necessary scoping documents to support the development of floating wind (or other possible deep water technologies) in Scottish waters. The Scottish Government has set a range of challenging targets for renewable energy which include the potential for offshore energy generation (wind, wave and tidal power) in Scottish waters.
To assist in meeting these targets, it is developing Sectoral Marine Plans for Offshore Renewable Energy. Scottish Ministers now wish to review the Draft Sectoral Marine Plan for Offshore Wind Energy and undertake a strategic marine planning process to ensure an enabling spatial strategy is in place for the successful development of this sector to include deep water technologies. The project is expected to be completed by the end of March and will be published on the Scottish Government’s website in due course. | [

Surreal Erotic French Magazine Plexus Covers From The 60s & 70s
These surreal erotic French magazine covers from Plexus which used to be really popular in the 60s & 70s will blow your mind. Being a sexy offshoot of Planète, another vintage French magazine, Plexus managed to become a sensation in France, during the late 60s and early 70s.
At basis, Plexus was a surreal erotic French magazine, but it also featured a mix of fantasy and psychedelic art, interviews with famous writers and a lot of Playboy-style comics. From time to time, depending on the issue’s literary director (Jacques Sternberg was one of them), Plexus also featured an occasional Popeye comic strip, science fiction stories, thoughts on philosophy, Gilles de Rais profiles and, of course, plenty of boobs. Let’s not forget, it’s still an erotic magazine we are talking about.
Issues had a full-color ‘pin up‘ girl, done in a very tasteful and erotic manner. The French have a history with erotic literature, erotica, and they became known in this field starting from the 1920’s and 1930’s, with their famous nude photos, called ‘French Postcards‘.
These amazing and surreal erotic French magazine covers from Plexus take us back to the hippie decade in America and they show us a real insight of how the world looked like back then. What were the trends, the ups and downs of social life and the list can go on and on. | [

EDWA, Egypt — Egyptian courts on Monday delivered devastating new blows to both the Islamist and liberal opponents of the new military-backed government.
A court in Minya, a provincial capital, sentenced to death the top spiritual leader of the Muslim Brotherhood along with more than 680 others in connection with the killing of a single police officer during a riot here last summer, while a court in the capital banned the activities of the most effective left-leaning protest group, the April 6 movement, on espionage charges.
The rulings were the clearest evidence yet of the judiciary’s energetic support for the new government’s crackdown on dissent of all kinds in the aftermath of the military ouster last summer of Egypt’s only fairly elected president, Mohamed Morsi of the Brotherhood.
The mass death sentence, announced after a cursory trial of a few sessions lasting just minutes, was the second of its kind from the same court in the space of a month, and it drew condemnation from the White House as well as international rights groups. The reaction threatened to embarrass the new government just as its foreign minister, Nabil Fahmy, was visiting Washington on a mission to persuade the Obama administration to unlock millions of dollars in aid suspended after the military takeover.
Yet here in Edwa, a town of a few thousand where at least one member of every extended family appears to have been sentenced to death on Monday morning, anger at the sweeping verdict mixed with wonder at the apparent dysfunction of the courts and police. With only a small portion of the defendants in custody — and some living openly at home in Edwa — many residents said they took the verdict as a politicized threat meant to intimidate the Islamist opposition and argued that the executions could never take place without triggering an insurrection.
“We are living in absurdity,” said Mohamed Abdel-Wahab, 60, the principal of a school who was among those sentenced to death on Monday on charges that he participated in the attack on a local police station that led to the killing of the officer.
Both of the trials that ended in mass death sentences date to clashes that took place when the security forces used deadly force to break up sit-ins held by Mr. Morsi’s supporters to protest his ouster, killing nearly 1,000 people in a day, according to the best estimates by independent rights groups.
The province of Minya, an Islamist stronghold that was at the center of an insurgency 20 years ago, was a major flash point. Mobs stormed and destroyed several churches and police stations.
Two of Mr. Abdel-Wahab’s younger relatives were in custody and convicted in the case, and four others were still at large but convicted, he and his family said. They deny that any of their relatives participated in the attack. But in the case of Mr. Abdel-Wahab, who learned of his sentence from his weeping wife when he returned home from a party on Monday, the accusations are particularly implausible. He is a survivor of multiple heart operations and he is visibly feeble. He insisted that doctors had forbidden him to walk up stairs or inhale smoke, much less battle tear gas and bullets to ransack a police station. He pulled up his jalabiya to show surgical scars on both calves.
“I am the one who broke into the police station and killed the police officer?” he asked, sitting in his living room surrounded by family.
When he learned months ago that he had been charged with participating in the attack, he said, he immediately went to the police to explain that there must be a mistake. He said he told them that he was obviously too unwell to have taken part. And he said that their arrest warrant had listed his age as 45 instead of 60, and his occupation as unemployed. But the police insisted that the charges were correct and, inexplicably, allowed him to leave and continue his work at the school.
“Everything is a whim,” he said. “There is no rule of law.”
Those like Mr. Abdel-Wahab who were sentenced in absentia — the vast majority of the defendants — would be entitled to a retrial if they were brought into custody, and all the verdicts are subject to appeal. In finalizing last month’s mass verdict, the judge in both cases, Saed Youssef, on Monday confirmed the death sentences on 37 of those defendants while commuting 492 to life in prison — understood here as a term of 25 years. But if the verdicts are not yet final, rights advocates say the two mass death sentences are just the most extreme examples in a pattern of harsh, politicized verdicts supporting the new military-backed government in its sweeping crackdown. Increasingly, said Michele Dunne, an Egypt expert at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, “there seems to be no attempt even to construct plausible cases.”

THE PAKISTAN DEVELOPMENT REVIEW
David A. Robalino, et al. (eds.). Pensions in the Middle East and North Africa: Time for Change. Washington, D. C.: The World Bank, 2005. pp.xxviii+253. Price not given.
This report by David A. Robalino, et al. on Pensions in the Middle East and North Africa: Time for Change evaluates the current mandatory pension systems formulated in the 1970s in the region. Since the publication of Boersch-Supan Palacios and Tumbarello (1999), cited in the volume, the Word Bank has been providing technical assistance to the countries of the region in the area of pension reforms. According to Schwarz and Demirguc-Kunt (1999), also cited in the volume, more than 60 countries have introduced pension reforms in the last 20 years. The financial problems and the fiscal burden of these generous schemes was the common motivation for the reforms undertaken. The present book by David Robalino and his co-authors is the extension of those previous works published five years ago. | [

so then….. a little mk1 came through the roller shutters last week with a suspected “gearbox dust shield rattle” being an abf mk1 using the o2a gearbox with cable change from the donor car it’s quite possible as they do run a shield between the fly and block to stop stones and general crap from entering the gearbox bell housing/flywheel/clutch assembly… so we listened, and listened and listened…. and then decided to pull it apart to have a butchers…
gearbox/flywheel/clutch off, nothing wrong…. the problem is obviously a little deeper routed? so the bottom end came off.
now, before the shots, a spec of the engine and a little history. this isnt a run of the mill abf 2.0 16v long block (wich is ample quick in a mk1 alone) this is a full prepped ex vw works engine, fully lightened and balanced bottom end crank/rods etc etc.. the cams are custom made with sch aggressive lobes that the head has had to be milled out to accommodate, angle cut seats, fully gas flowed, ported polished etc.. the spec is really really special and makes for one of the most powerful n/a 16v units we know of with a good 210/220 Whp.
wich only makes it a little more painful when you find the suspected gearbox “rattle” to be an exploded crank sensor pully, lush.
heres what we found in the sump, yep thats an oil banjo and union been stripped out of cylinder 4.
and the bottom end from a worms eye veiw..
and the crank, with offending item.
and that, is how you do it.
ps, keep your eyes peeled for a berg cup style mk1 being born soon…. | [

Review by: Jonathan Moss
Album assigned by: Graeme Oxley
This a very fun album. It’s essentially a mix of bluegrass and jazz fusion. Now I’ve heard some jazz fusion and little bluegrass (unless CBGB bands like The Ramones count) but this wryly titled compilation makes the fusion very appealing.
Since the album is a compilation it is quite varied, with a lot of speedy and virtuosic tracks at the beginning and some slower more atmospheric ones later one. The song Vix 9 sounds quite Yessish and proggish in general but outside of that the album is more poppy, whilst still retaining a jazzy edge. With the exception of the Dave Matthews sung (which is good but would have been better if Colin Newman of Wire fame had sung it) song Communication all the songs on the album are instrumental.
Of course, the main draw of the album is Béla Fleck who plays banjo the way Frank Zappa plays guitar (okay, I know comparing one good player to another is lazy and doesn’t really encapsulate their style. Just trust me, he’s good). He plays all sorts of fast, bendy lines, although he can also play in a slower more relaxed style. The important thing- as with all truly great virtuosos, in my view at least- isn’t just that he’s really talented musically at the thing but also melodically, playing a variety of fun, quirky riffs.
The rest of the band is really talented as well, though. The whole album is full of tasteful guitar riffs and some really complicated and melodic bass stuff. It’s kind of like Primus, one instrument is the main attraction but the other players are still great.
Something I forgot to mention earlier so will awkwardly do now is that one of the songs (Stomping Grounds) is live. This is a good decision though the song doesn’t sound tremendously different from that studio stuff, except a bit more spontaneous and lively, I guess.
The most impressive thing I can say about this album is that despite all the instrumental talent on display the whole thing sounds very down to earth. I love a lot of prog but I couldn’t really say that about any prog group. On the other hand “unpretentious music for pretentious people” isn’t the most glamorous title so maybe Van Der Graaf Generator had the right idea.
In all seriousness this is an album I’d definitely recommend, and if it wasn’t for the hypocrisy for not doing so myself yet I’d say check their other albums out as well. | [

The albedo dosimeter is a dosimeter for the measurement of personal dose by X-ray, gamma, and neutron radiation in personal and local dosimetry.
The dosimeter probe contains a numbered, reusable detector card in an albedo capsule, which carries four thermoluminescence detectors, two of which are arranged behind each "albedo neutron window". A protective case with carrying clip is recommended for mounting the dosimeter.
The measuring system is intended for use in mixed radiation fields (neutrons, photons). For photon radiation, it is type-approved for the measurand Hp(10). Personal dose monitoring with the albedo dosimeter in mixed radiation fields is recommended if the share of the neutron personal dose can reach more than 20% of the photon personal dose.
When exposed to ionizing radiation, free pairs of charge carriers(electrons and holes) are generated in a crystal and become trapped in crystalline vacancies. Heating frees them from these energetically higher and long-lived states and they recombine emitting light (thermoluminescence, TL for short). The light intensity is a direct measure of the irradiated dose. By enrichment with neutron-sensitive isotopes (e.g. Li-6), the crystal can also be sensitized to thermal neutrons.
Das Zweikomponenten-Albedodosimeter enthält zwei TL-Detektorpaare, wovon das erste die vom Körper zurückgestreuten Neutronen (Albedo-Neutronen) und das zweite die auf den Körper einfallenden thermischen Neutronen (Feldneutronen) misst. Die Angabe der Neutronenäquivalentdosis erfolgt aus der Anzeige des Albedodetektorpaares und dem entsprechenden Kalibrierfaktor für den jeweiligen Anwendungsbereich.
Each detector pair consists of a photon sensitive detector and a photon and neutron sensitive detector. The photon-sensitive detector only is used to determine the respective photon dose. The difference between the two detectors is used to determine the respective neutron fraction. The ratio of field to albedo neutrons provides an additional energy correction factor (DIN 6802-4).
The albedo dosimeter can also be used at high-energy accelerators, since the neutron radiation field at these workplaces always has a proportion of scattered neutrons with low energy and thus a signal sufficient for dose determination is generated in the detector. This could be verified by measurements at different high-energy accelerators.
The dosimeter must be worn at a location representative of the radiation field (usually on the upper part of the torso), with the back of the badge (marked "Back") close to the body of the exposed person.
The albedo dosimeter is the property of the monitoring service and is made available to the customer on a rental basis. When used, it must be permanently assigned to a person for a wearing period (usually one month) and sent to the monitoring service for evaluation after the end of the wearing period, stating the carrier and the exposure conditions. Unused dosimeters should be returned to the monitoring service after a quarter of a year so that they can be baked out ("zeroed") there for reuse, since the dosimeters continuously measure the ambient radiation as well.
With the albedo dosimeter, the energy range for neutrons occurring in routine monitoring is adequately covered. Due to the energy dependence of the neutron response, a distinction is made between four typical application ranges (N1 to N4), into which the radiation protection officer must classify the occupationally exposed persons (see DIN 6802-4).
|N1||Reactors (strong shielding)|
|N2||Nuclear fuel cycle|
|N3||Radionuclide sources, e.g. 252Cf, 241Am(Be)|
|N4||High energy accelerator|
It must be ensured that the dosimeter is only used in the intended area of application. In individual cases, calibration in the respective scattered radiation field may be necessary. Calibrations in the scattered radiation field are carried out in consultation with the measuring point.
The dosimeter is suitable for use at an ambient temperature of +10°C to +40°C and a relative humidity of 10% to 90%. The albedo dosimeter should not be exposed to direct sunlight over 1000 W/m² or mechanical shock over 4900 m/s². If necessary, the dosimeter capsule can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Albedo dosimeters must be protected from moisture and temperatures above +60°C during storage. Care must be taken to ensure that only low levels of ambient radiation and, above all, no thermal neutrons occur at the storage location. The dosimeters must not be | [

From the Preface: The title for this collection was the title of a course in literary criticism that I gave for many years at Bennington College. And much of the material presented here was used in that course. The title should serve well to convey the gist of these various pieces. For all of them are explicitly concerned with the attempt to define and track down the implications of the term "symbolic action," and to show how the marvels of literature and language look when considered form that point of view.
Kenneth Burke was a self-taught thinker who attempted to integrate scientific and philosophical concepts with his analysis of semantics and literature. Between 1927 and 1929, Burke worked for the "Dial "as a music critic. After a brief stint with "The Nation "(1934-36), he turned to literary criticism and taught at Bennington College from 1943 to 1961. His many works have all been published by the University of California Press. | [

How to know if that free online workout is right for you
Last updated July 25, 2023
How many times have you looked at a rowing or other free online workout somewhere online and thought, “Is that free online workout good for me to do?” “Will it be challenging enough,” or more importantly, “Can I do it safely at my age and fitness level?”
Free online workouts are a dime a dozen, and that’s part of the problem.
They’re everywhere: YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, etc. #Sweatyselfie images, reels, TikToks, and full videos of all manner of workouts. Often with hundreds of repetitions, huge dumbbells or kettlebells, super-fast rowing machine splits, all the things.
It ballooned in the pandemic, too. Now you can find all manner of free online workouts (and paid) from trainers and would-be rowing coaches who may or not actually know what they’re doing.
Take it from someone who spends their days looking at rowing content online, there’s A LOT of dubious content out there, especially these days as trainers latch on to the explosive growth of indoor rowing.
How to choose the right free online workout for you
If you’re brand new to rowing, we recommend starting with a beginner program that’s designed specifically for you. Random workouts are fun, but they won’t help you learn proper rowing technique from the start, which is the best time to get it cemented in!
Have a look at our RowNow beginner rowing workout plan. We designed it SPECIFICALLY with the new rower in mind, to give you everything you need to know to start rowing well, today, and without overwhelming you with details you don’t need when you’re just starting.
If you’re been rowing for a while, or you’re looking to add some fun variety to your workouts, an on-demand rowing workout might be just the thing! You can row along with our master and certified instructors in workouts that are appropriate for all fitness levels, and range in length from 10 minutes to 40 minutes or more.
Whatever the fitness modality, you want to be sure they’re right for you. You want to be sure you can stay safe, get a good workout, AND make progress with your fitness.
Ask these questions to help you find the right online on-demand workouts:
- Is the person doing the workout qualified? Like, do they have a personal training, group exercise, or in our case a rowing certification? Particularly in an online fitness world – and in a world where many of us aren’t in the same physical shape we were pre-pandemic – knowing what to do to keep people safe is essential. The older we get, the more that’s true.
Certifications aren’t everything, but they let you know that the person had to prove to someone else that they’re qualified, and that they did more than watch hours of random YouTube videos or row in high school. For example, if it’s a UCanRow2 rowing certification, you know that the instructor has been trained to work with people of all ages and fitness levels, and they’ve had to demonstrate that they themselves both know how to row well, and how to teach it well.
- How much work volume does it have? Hundreds or even dozens of repetitions, particularly of unfamiliar moves, is a red flag in many cases. Rowing, for example, is a repetitive motion in and of itself. Adding lots of additional repetitive exercises to that may turn your workout into an injury waiting to happen.
- How long will it take? Unless you’re training for endurance events, you should be able to complete most workouts in an hour or less, including the warmup and cooldown. There’s no need to do anything longer than that on a regular basis; In fact, it can be counterproductive.
- Are the moves familiar to you? It’s fine (and fun!) to have a new move or two in a workout, but make sure you understand it and are comfortable doing it without load before trying it with weight. Also if the workout is ALL new to you, you’re better off subbing in familiar exercises for most of the new moves. Work new exercises in gradually as you get more skilled.
- Does the workout include scaling options, and can I perform the scaled version correctly? Scaling allows you to vary the workout’s complexity and difficulty based on your general fitness and ability, and also how you feel on that particular day. Good workouts (and good instructors) will provide alternatives for more challenging moves.

Rostec officials at Aero India 2023 that the company is well aware of the Request for Information for Medium Transport Aircraft (MTA) issued by the Indian Air Force (IAF) to replace ageing Soviet-era An-32 Medium Haul Transport Aircraft and are keen to offer its Ilyushin Il-276 medium-airlift military transport aircraft currently being developed by United Aircraft Corporation (UAC).
United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) of Russia and Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) wanted to jointly develop the very same aircraft in a joint venture in 2009, but in 2016 HAL walked out of the program due to differences over the selection of the engines for the program and workshare agreements.
Rostec officials are keen to offer Ilyushin Il-276 MTA to India that they claim can be customized as per requirements of the IAF and when asked about IAF preference for a non-Russian engine, Rostec officials seem to be much more accommodating to the idea of having a non-Russian engine this time than earlier but the initial offer still is with the Russian-made Aviadvigatel PD-14M turbofan engines.

First and the foremost reason is that we are conditioned like that by society. Since our childhood we are told that we need to have a purpose to live in. In our neighborhood, there is a man who always asks her granddaughter in front of everyone why you are alive and what’s the purpose of your existence and every time she replies the same. My purpose of life is to live for you. So, the idea of having is purpose is ingrained into our mind. The ‘propose of life’ might be a relative concept or personal but it does not come from inside it actually come from outside. It comes from our family, our friends, media, advertising, politicians, our role models, and social media. So, the purposes of life you think are yours but actually it is programmed into us by the society. Like machine we are programmed to do what our society put us in our minds. People consistently try to create false purposes. If we ask a 7-year-old child what is his or her purpose in life, he or she will say I want to be a doctor, pilot. All parent’s purpose is to rise good kids. If the same question is asked of a married woman who doesn’t go well with her husband, she will say that her purpose of life is to live for her children. If we ask a poor man what’s the purpose of her life. He will say to earn money. And we are told that if we don’t have purpose then our life is not worth living.
We have a purpose because we think that we are not as we are now. We need to do something more. We have purpose of life when we are lacking something in our life like if our psychological or physiological needs are not fulfilled or met. Marlow’s psychological theory of ‘hierarchy of needs’ is a motivation theory in psychology. It represents five stages of need that are arranged from lowest to high: physiological needs, safety needs, love and belonging needs, esteem needs and self-actualization needs. First the physiological needs (as food, water shelter, warm and sleep) “monopolizes a man’s consciousness. When it is fulfilled then man’s purpose is to get to safety needs (to feel secure stable and unafraid) after getting it our mind moves to the next level of need ‘love and belonging needs’, and man’s purpose is to be to loved. And after getting to it moves to next level until a stage of self-actualization is reached. It further says that the average member of our society is most often partially satisfied and partially unsatisfied in all of his wants.
We always need a purpose to make our lives meaning full. Or keep ourselves busy. Human beings always crave for a purpose and those who don’t have purpose suffer psychologically. Or if we don’t have a sense of purpose or anything to occupy the mind externally then it makes us vulnerable or prone to boredom that results into anxiety and depression. We feel unconnected with life. We feel like we are wasting our life. People who think that they don’t have a purpose in life are more vulnerable to drugs and at the same time on the other hand those people with a purpose have positive impact. Having purpose is good for our psychological health. Purpose is necessarily associated with subjectivity and it put a positive impact on the mind. A person who has a purpose is less vulnerable to psychological problems. When we align ourselves to a purpose, we focus our attention and energies on something that is external then we spend less time in immersing in negative thoughts and feelings then it makes us less self-centered and we do not focus much on our worries and problems. We feel ourselves a part of something bigger. It also improves our self-esteem and increases our confidence when we deal with the challenges successfully.
Purpose in our lives is just like a fuel to the engine. It gives a direction to life and courage and strength to move forward. Having a purpose give us a motivation to get up in the morning. And our mind is occupied and we have less negativity or thoughts. We focus to our target and work for it. Frankl, in his book ‘Man’s Search for Meaning’ gives us example to elaborate how this purpose of life has positive impact on the mind and help us to keep going. He describes his horrible experience in the Nazi’s concentration camps. During his living in concentration camps, he observed that the inmates who had a purpose to see their love one or purpose or get back on the track of their life were most likely to be survived.
Sadhguru, a mystic, says that because it’s some sort of pettiness of our mind that we want to have a purpose. The need for purpose is come because we are trapped into psychological structure, not in life process. We are trapped in a society that gives us a sense of security and safety. When we have a purpose, we are trapped in it for forever. | [

Statement of the Problem: Neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation (NBIA) is heterogeneous group of disorders affecting children and adults. NBIA is connected with various related diseases, such as PANK-1, aceruloplasminemia, neuroferritynopathy, early ├ó┬?┬? onset PLAN, MPAN. We presented confirmed by genetic study (mutation DNA for C19orf12) upper and lower motor neuron lesion characteristic for MPAN. A case report: 18 year-old man (WP) with progressive since early childhood gait disturbances, speech and learning disorders. Patient from the first pregnancy, supported pharmacologically, born with Apgar 8 score, because of fetal malpresentation. The patient├ó┬?┬?s neurological symptoms included dysarthria, dysphagia, involuntary movements of face (dystonia) and four limbs (dystonia, choreoathetosis), limb muscle hypotonia, gait with knee hyperextension and foot dropping, bilateral Babinski sign, generalized muscle atrophy, pes cavus. Deep tendon reflexes were normal. MRI-neuroimaging using gadolinium contrast showed changes with reduced signal on T2-weighted and FLAIR images within the globus pallidus and midbrain substantia nigra, which suggested pathological brain iron accumulation (see Picture 1. and 2.). Findings: Despite atypical clinical pictures we decided to verify patient├ó┬?┬?s DNA for C19orf12 mutation, which is responsible for MPAN phenotype. The patient├ó┬?┬?s DNA sample was sequenced in Technische Univerisit├?┬Ąt in M├?┬╝nchen, Institut F├?┬╝r Humangenetik. The DNA sequence analysis of C19orf12 revealed a homozygous frame shift mutation in exon 3. c. [204_214del]; [204_214del], p. [Gly69Argfs*10]; [Gly69Argfs*10]. Conclusion and Significance: In summary, our patient except of movement disorders had also features of upper and lower motor neuron lesion. Deschauer et. al documented in 2013, three cases of patients with C19orf12 mutations (p.Gly66del, Gly69Argfs*10) mimicking juvenile amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (2). Our case is the next one. Due to the fact, that this is a relatively new disease entity, observation of more patients with documented C19orf12 mutation may allow to complement the MPAN├ó┬?┬?s phenotype of new features. | [

Background: The prevention of preterm delivery (PTD) represents one of the major topics in modern obstetrics. The aim was to design a prospective study and investigate if mid-trimester serum and amniotic fluid levels of MCP-1 could predict the occurence of spontaneous PTD. Methods: The study involved 198 women who underwent genetic amniocentesis and blood sampling in the middle of their trimester. After applying the criteria for inclusion in the study, there were 16 respondents in the study group, and 38 respondents in the control group. Level of MCP-1 in amniotic fluid and serum was measured with commercially available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) and statistical analysis was conducted. Results: There was no statistically significant difference in serum or amniotic fluid MCP1 levels between PTD and the control groups. Conclusion: The results suggest that MCP-1 is probably not the most relevant marker for predicting PTD. This study provides new normative data for MCP-1 levels in amniotic fluid and maternal sera and is a valuable tool for future diagnostic and comparative studies.

Strictly: Simon Rimmer is BITTEN by partner Karen Clifton
The Sunday Brunch presenter appeared on It Takes Two tonight where he was joined by his partner, Karen Clifton.
The Strictly Come Dancing chef joked to host Zoe Ball that his mentor has become a “terrifying wild cat woman” as she bites, pinches and hisses at him backstage.
Footage of the duo in rehearsals showed the extreme lengths Karen, 35, has been taking, to whip Simon Rimmer, 54, into shape.
“My aggressive cat side has been coming out,” she teased.

Zoe, 46, chimed in: “She’s absolutely barmy.”
Simon’s ordeal comes after he found himself in the bottom two last week, dancing off against Reverend Richard Cole, 52.

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) -Safety improvements are in the works for a busy road in Louisville, and now the city is looking for feedback from residents. Lexington Road in Irish Hill between Grinstead and Payne would be reduced from four lanes to two lanes.
"Well about once every two months I would guess there would be an accident over there. I've heard many," Greg Underwood said.
Underwood lives on Lexington Road and says he knows there is a traffic problem on the street his house sits on.
"I would hear a big boom from my house and I live about 600 feet away but I hear the bang and I know what's happened," Underwood said.
The latest road crash data shows 48 crashes along Lexington from Payne to Grinstead, and another 30 crashes at the intersection of Payne.
Underwood says he is unsure of plans to reduce the current four-lane road in front of his home to two lanes with a middle turning lane.
"Dedicated turning lanes and new signalization, I think will make it safer for everyone and will help the traffic flow here," Bill Hollander said.
Councilman Bill Hollander supports the new road configuration. A study shows roads with higher traffic like Brownsboro Road and Grinstead Drive have gone through similar changes and the number of crashes have d ropped.
"It has slowed down the traffic I think people are getting on the highway easier and I think it's great," Marion VanIngen said.
VanIngen lives near Brownsboro in Clifton and says she would support a similar road layout on Lexington. As a bicyclist, she is also excited for the bike lanes that would be developed along the corridor.
"You just feel like some people get to close to you, so I haven't ridden it in a long time but I would be so happy is there was another lane a bike lane," VanIngen said.
Councilman Hollander says the proposed project is more than bike lane. It also includes repaving, drainage improvements and new traffic flow.
"I think it is going to make it safer for motorists, Hollander said. "This is a section of road that has a high accident rate and we hope to reduce that."
Louisville Metro's Office of Advanced Planning will be hosting two public meetings to share and to discuss the project. Click here for more info. | [

Vacant land that once housed the majority of Arlington Heights was the subject of a community meeting in Arlington to discuss possible housing ventures. The property with views of the Monongahela River valley has entertained speculation that the land could be used as mixed income with a variety of units including rental and for sale housing.

Variations of the external iliac artery are very rare. We found a rare variation in the left external iliac artery. The artery was long and formed a characteristic loop. The loop was found in the lesser pelvis in close relation to the obturator nerve. This loop may compress obturator nerve and vessels. The knowledge of this loop might be important for gynaecologists, orthopaedic surgeons and urologists since it may be involved in surgeries of hip, ovary and prostate.

The first 2 photos are the Shinjuku Mitsui Building.
The last 3 photos were taken at different times and all of the buildings are part of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government (Tokyo City Hall). The buildings are most often referred to as “Tochō” or “Tax Tower”.
The first building is called “Main Building No. 1”. According to Wikipedia, Architect Kenzo Tange designed the building to look like a computer chip. This is the 2nd tallest building in Tokyo (and 7th tallest in Japan) with 48 floors. | [

This is a traditional Indian ethnic wear that consists of a long tunic. It’s called a kameez, loose-fitting pants called salwar, and a scarf called a dupatta. Salwar suits are popular among women of all ages. Punjabi suit is worn on various occasions such as weddings, festivals, and religious ceremonies.
This is usually made of lightweight fabric such as cotton, silk, or chiffon. It can be embellished with intricate embroidery, beadwork, or sequins. The length of the kameez varies from knee-length to ankle-length. It can be styled in different ways. This is a comfortable and loose-fitting pant that is gathered at the waist and ankles. It can be plain or decorated with embroidery or prints.
It is a long scarf that is draped over the head, shoulders, and arms. It can be used to cover the head for modesty or to add a touch of elegance and sophistication to the outfit. The dupatta is usually made of lightweight fabric such as chiffon, georgette, or silk and can be embellished with embroidery or prints.
Salwar suits are available in a wide range of colours, designs, and styles, ranging from simple and elegant to heavily embellished and ornate. They can be worn with a variety of accessories such as bangles, earrings, and necklaces, to complete the look.
Overall, salwar suits are a comfortable, versatile, and stylish ethnic wear that has stood the test of time and is still popular among women in India and around the world.
It’s main attraction is that can be used as an affordable silk alternative.
It’s breathable, moisture-wicking, stretchy, soft to the touch, and drapes well.
Rayon is also comfortable and non-irritating.
is the craft of decorating fabric or other materials using a needle to apply thread or yarn.
The basic techniques include crewel work, needlepoint, cross-stitch embroidery, and quilting, as well as quillwork and feathery work.

The magic of a digital SLR camera is all in the lens. From wide angle to telephoto, different lenses can give you a radically new perspective, and spectacularly gorgeous images.
I am an avid amateur photographer who has investigated the capabilities of my kit lens. I love it, particularly at its widest angle. But I would like to explore something new, so I turned to Bryan, my local expert at Ladner London Drugs. Bryan sold me my DSLR three years ago, and has patiently answered questions whenever I need information for this blog.
It was a quiet morning when I went into the store. Bryan agreed to show me a variety of lenses that would fit my particular camera (I have a Nikon D5000).
First, a note about terminology. Lenses are labeled according to focal length, for example 18 – 55mm. As a rule, the larger the focal length, the longer the lens and the more telephoto capability.
• Lenses below 20mm are considered wide angle.
• Lenses above 85mm are considered telephoto.
• Lenses in the middle are for general purpose photography.
A second note about Compact System Cameras. CSCs are much smaller than DSLRs, so the focal lengths are different. There are CSC telephoto, wide angle, and portrait lenses, just like DSLR, but they will be labeled differently, depending on the manufacturer. Bring in your camera when lens shopping to find the perfect fit.
The kit lens is aptly named, since it is usually included when you buy your camera body. A typical kit lens is 18 – 55mm. This gives you a relatively wide angle when you zoom all the way out, good for landscape photography. When you zoom all the way in, this lens is good for subjects that are not too far away.
Basic Zoom Lens
As it turns out, I received two lenses when I bought my camera—London Drugs often bundles camera bodies with two lenses, which costs much less than buying them separately. The second lens is a basic zoom lens (55 – 200mm) that is good for filming kids’ sports, some wildlife photography, and other subjects that require a close-up shot. I find the zoom lens particularly good for filming kids: I can keep far enough away that the camera is not a distraction, but I can still zoom in on little faces.
Having two lenses works just fine, unless I want to switch from wide-angle to telephoto very quickly. This happened on a recent boat trip. The landscapes from the water were so pretty, so I used my kit lens for the wide angle. We then spotted an eagle in a tree, feasting on a fish. I had to change my lens fast to the telephoto. Fortunately, the eagle was a slow eater.
For more versatility, an all-in-one lens (18 – 200mm) is a good investment. You can film a nice wide angle, all the way to an intimate close-up without digging into your camera bag. For even more telephoto power, an 18 – 300mm is also available. This lens would be fantastic for wildlife photography, sports photography, as well as landscape and portraiture.
I asked Bryan, which lens does a typical DSLR owner buy when she wants something new? His answer surprised me. He said after the kit lens and the basic zoom, DSLR owners tend to buy a 35mm portrait lens. This is a fixed lens—no zooming—that has a large maximum aperture. This translates into photos with a narrow depth of field—a crisp face with a pleasantly blurred background. Since fixed lenses allow in extra light, this lens is also great for lower light photography. This is an affordable lens that can transform your portraits.
We’ve all seen the nature enthusiasts with their enormous lenses and tripods. While these are fantastic for capturing birds and wildlife, even a smaller telephoto lens like a 55 – 300mm will get you close to the action. This is the lens that I looked through in the store, and I could easily read the signs on the televisions in the next department over. The downside to telephoto lenses is that the more they magnify the subject, the more they magnify handshake. I prefer to hold my camera (rather than using a tripod), which is an important consideration when choosing a telephoto lens.
As Bryan took the wide angle lens out of the box (this one was a 10 – 100mm), he said, “this is the one I’m saving up for.” After looking through the viewfinder, I have to agree: the wide angle is at the top of my list. The difference between 10mm and 18mm (the widest angle on my kit lens) is incredible. This lens can capture breathtaking panoramic shots. When I go on my around-the-world tour, I will have this lens in my bag.

The Great Gandhi
The role model of India
the birth of Mohandas Ghandi
Mohandas Ghandi was born in 1869. The town he grew up Porbandar in the Kathiawar Pinisula north of Bombay. He got married when he was only 13 years old. When he was 18, he went to school to England to become a barrister or lawyer.
As a leader Ghandi was sent to jail 3 times because he was fighting for his way of life. He sometimes dressed in a dhoti- wore by the poorest Indians. Lots of Indians called him Bupa- father. In WWII he launched the quit Indian movement. On August 15, 1947 India became a independent nation.
On January 30, 1948 Gandhi was assassinated. People was inspired by Gandhi's work just like Martin Luther King Jr but, he was assassinated too.
Ghandi is still alive
Gandhi was India's role model, and everyone wanted to be like him or be him. Gandi will always still be in India's hearts. | [

Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "IV Fluid Transfer Devices Products, Players, Markets and Opportunities" report to their offering.
Intravenous drug administration is one of the most common therapeutic procedures that patients in a hospital setting are likely to receive. Yet the lack of standardization among the various components, elements and steps that a caregiver must navigate to successfully execute a drug intravenously have – according to several recent studies – contributed to medication errors and risks to patient safety.
IV drug administration was once provided to patients only in clinical settings. However, technology developments and a greater emphasis on cost containment over the last 30 years have prompted a shift to providing this therapy in alternate settings, including the home. There is an ongoing dialogue among practitioners in the oncology segment regarding the cytotoxic nature of oncology drugs and the risks associated with exposure to these drugs.
- Analyzes the global market for IV fluid transfer devices market segments, and assesses the probable market impact of evolving regulatory, economic and demand factors
- Assesses approved IV fluid transfer devices and their market position
- Provides detailed analysis of IV fluid transfer market segments and market factors

Stores reference 27C/2125. Manufactured by Joseph Rogers of Sheffield. Small Mae West / dinghy knife with an orange painted wooden handle and a curved blunt ended stainless steel blade approximately 6cm in length (overall length 14.7cm). The handle has a channel cut within it to accomodate a cord lanyard, secured in place with cloth tape (cord absent). It comes in its original leather scabbard with press studded securing strap. Similar knives (fitted with an additional puncture knife/blade), were used by the FAA, often seen attached to the right breast of the 1941 pattern Mae West. This example was never fitted with such a blade and the date is unknown. Probably late war to mid 1950s? Very faint markings on the blade. Very good condition. Stock code S24693. | [

The Tampa Bay area is one of the nation’s 10 hottest markets in attracting movers, according to a recent report by Attom Data. And, Business Insider just named Tampa as one of the “hippest cities everyone under 30 wants to move to.”
Here are a few reasons why the Tampa Bay area is such an attractive place to move:
On average, Tampa Bay area residents pay less
Cost of housing is one of the strongest contributors to the likelihood of an individual moving to an area, and Tampa’s housing costs are 24 percent lower than the national average. Residents of Tampa also enjoy lower than average grocery, transportation and utility costs.
These factors make up Tampa’s average cost of living, which is 7 percent lower than the national average – an attractive aspect for those that are relocating.
The Tampa Bay area has wide range of housing options
In the Tampa Bay area, buying a house is possible for all budgets – for example, Lennar’s homes in south Hillsborough County and Pasco County range all the way from the $140s to the $600s. Plus, Lennar’s “Everything’s Included®” program helps save upfront costs by providing move-in ready homes with a number of upgraded features included in the list price.
The average price of a home in Tampa is less than the national average, and homeowners in Tampa, and some experts predict an increase in value over the next year, with the area’s average home price forecasted to grow by 3.4 percent. With historic neighborhoods nearby like Ybor City and bustling downtowns in area cities, residents can enjoy the benefits of an upscale urban area without the extra cost.
Strong job growth
Earlier this year, Florida reported the lowest state unemployment rate in the country at 4.3 percent, and the Tampa Bay area led the region with a 3.8 percent rate.
The Tampa Bay area is leading the way in job growth, adding thousands of jobs in construction, hospitality, education and health services this year.
The Tampa Bay area has top-tier attractions
If you make the move to the Tampa Bay area, make sure you bring a bathing suit and plenty of sunscreen. Tampa is located less than an hour from one of America’s top-rated beaches, Clearwater Beach. With crystal clear waves and soft sandy shores a few miles away, what’s not to love?
Homeowners in the Tampa Bay area can also enjoy a quick drive to Walt Disney World Resort, Universal Orlando Resort or Busch Gardens. Most of these attractions offer exclusive discounts for Florida residents.
Beaches and attractions aside, the cultural scene in the Tampa Bay area is lively with such notable museums as Tampa Museum of Art, Florida Museum of Photographic Arts, Henry B. Plant Museum, the Dali Museum and the Museum of Fine Arts in St. Petersburg only miles from most neighborhoods.
It’s always sunny in the Tampa Bay area
Tampa has desirable weather with 361 days of sunshine a year and an average temperature of 73 degrees. Residents are welcomed by warm summer months with quick afternoon showers and minimal chilly weather.
