Thank you very much for your thoughts!
It's been said a few times, but I personally think the most important sleight is the double lift, and it's also the one that is most consistently done badly sleights, spend any amount of time looking at magic videos on youtube (or even some magician's specials on tv and netflix) and you will see awkward turnovers or horrible blocky get readies.
I think because it's one of the first things learnt and in its essence it is very simple, it's often over looked with not enough time taken to get it perfect. | [

The exhaust of your vehicle facilitates the emission of harmful gases from the engine into the atmosphere through the exhaust pipe. It works collectively with the assistance of a catalytic converter, exhaust manifold, oxygen sensor, and muffler to convert poisonous gases into less harmful emissions.

Our team of professionals hold industry experience to diagnose and repair different kinds of problems within your car’s exhaust. We update our equipment as per motor standards of the UK and assure nothing but quality exhaust repair Tipton.
Common issues with the exhaust system
If your car’s oxygen sensor is damaged, the check engine light will turn on your dashboard. It also leads to an imbalance between the air-fuel mixture and damages the catalytic converter.

Beleaguered security contractor, G4S (GFSZF), found itself mired in another public relations nightmare on Monday after it was revealed that the alleged gunman in the Orlando nightclub massacre was a G4S employee for almost nine years.
The revelation calls into question the vetting practices of a so-called leading security contractor, that provides cash transport services and staff to prisons and immigration detention centers. It also calls into question the efficacy of the turnaround effort that has been underway since knight-in-shining-armor CEO Ashley Almanza joined the firm June 2013.
G4S has stated that Omar Mateen underwent company screening procedures and passed FBI background checks before joining the firm. The company's North America division confirmed Mateen was an employee and said it was cooperating fully with investigations by authorities.
Shares in the U.K.-based company have lost nearly half of their value since 2013 when the group announced a restructuring and turnaround plan. The shares fell as much as 7.5% in London this morning, to touch lows of 173.0 pence ($2.45), after it was revealed that Mateen had been employed by the company since September 10, 2007.
Under the turnaround strategy announced in 2013, the group set out to hive off underperforming or non-core businesses and to reduce debt on its balance sheet. The group has sold 23 businesses with turnover totaling GBP900 million since 2013. In 2015, it raised GBP281 million from disposals and is expecting to raise GBP250 million - GBP350 million in the current year.
Most recently, the company announced it was selling its U.S. youth services business, which operate 32 training, residential and treatment centers for young offenders. The majority of the centers are in Florida. It is also selling G4S Israel and its U.K. children services business.
However, its efforts to reduce its bloated balance sheet are yet to yield fruit, given that net debt-to-Ebitda sat at 3.0 times when G4S last updated the market, which is only a fraction below the 3.1 times net debt-to-earnings the group had when the turnaround was announced.
Slow progress on balance sheet repair was one of the factors cited by analysts at Barclays when they cut their rating on the stock in March, to the equivalent of a hold. Barclays cited lower than expected revenue growth, slow repair of the balance sheet and the potential for a credit rating downgrade as being behind their decision to downgrade G4S.
On March 29, 2016 S&P re-affirmed a credit rating of 'BBB-' long-term and 'A-3' short-term with a negative outlook.
Analysts have a median price target of 205 pence for G4S, and as of June 10, 22 analysts surveyed by the Financial Times advised investors to hold their position in the company.
The current incident is just the latest in a long line of scandals to have battered the reputation of G4S, however, it is the first major incident in North America. G4S earned 23% of its revenues in North America during 2015, from a mixture of public and private clients. Only time will tell to what extent the group's reputation and business will be impacted by the weekend's events.
In December 2014 G4S found itself in the midst of a race scandal when several of its guards were found to have exchanged racist text messages when staffing deportation flights from the U.K.. The texts came to light when one of the detainees died during the flight after an incident in which the guards in question were allegedly forced to restrain the victim.
In March 2014, G4S agreed to repay GBP109 million to the U.K. government after it was caught overcharging the public purse for the remote monitoring of deceased prisoners. The group repaid the over-billed money in order for it to be eligible to tender for more public service contracts.
In October 2013, a G4S security guard was convicted of murder by a Glasgow, Scotland court after he was found to have bludgeoned a delegate to death while he was supposed to be providing security at a medical conference.
In February 2013, the group announced it had taken a charge of £88 million after it failed to secure enough security staff for the London Olympics, prompting the government to draft in members of the armed forces to provide security for the event. | [

For Beyoncé, life is only getting better with age.
The 28-time Grammy winner shared a handwritten note with fans this week, following her 40th birthday on Sept. 3, and revealed she's feeling the best she's ever felt.
She blessed us with her wisdom about the spiritual aspect of aging, while reflecting on all of the beautiful life lessons she's learned since her days with Destiny's Child.
"Whoever tried to condition women to feel that we are supposed to feel old or unhappy when we turn 40 got it ALL THE WAY F'd UP," Bey wrote in her heartfelt letter. "This has absolutely been the best I've felt in my life. I'm so grateful to be GROWN, GROWN!"
As she explained, "This is the first year that I really understand what it means to be alive and to live in the moment. It's the first time that I have an understanding of how fragile life truly is, how hard life can be at times, and therefore how important it is to stop and smell the roses during the good times."
Beyoncé said she "thought" she knew that when she was 21 or even 30 years old--but didn't.
"The more mature I become, the more I understand and the deeper my joy grows," the mother of three went on. "There's a freedom and liberation knowing that I've made it to the other side of my sacrifice. I'm finally giving myself permission to enjoy the seeds I've worked so hard to plant my whole life."
She said her fans continue to bring her "sooooo much joy" in life and she wants to continue using her art to "bring a little joy" in their lives, too.
"Most of yall met me when I was 15, and we have grown up together," Beyoncé acknowledged of her hive.
Her note also thanked fans and fellow stars that made "beautiful tributes" to wish her a happy birthday three weeks ago.
"I cried tears of joy and was covered in chilly bumps," shared the singer, who enjoyed a date night with Jay-Z in Miami just days after her birthday. "Your VIDEOS, your POSTS, your countdowns, your playlists and your well wishes, I will cherish forever," she added. "I admire and respect all of you and I thank you from the bottom of my heart."
She signed the letter with "Deep Deep Deep" love, ending with a drawing of a bubble bee.

This panel moderated by Tony Tannoury, assistant Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery at Boston University School of Medicine & Director of Spine Services at Boston Medical Center, encompasses healthcare systems changes due to Covid-19 and discussions on the benefits of technology merging with healthcare. The panelists spoke their minds regarding their routines, healthcare settings, and different opportunities to change and grow instilled by the pandemic. Jeffrey Hammoudeh, a Reconstructive Plastic Surgeon and Associate Professor of Clinical Surgery at Keck School of Medicine USC spoke about his effort at looking at challenges to build something better through tele-learning and increasing healthcare providers' skills using the internet. Walid Alami, an interventional cardiologist at Chesapeake and Washington Heart Care, shared the story of his “exodus” from Lebanon to the USA and his experience in Lebanese Palestinian camps, what is missing from structures to human capital at the receiving end of the bridge he tried to build. He then spoke of how history has taught us not to learn from history in Lebanon, and how a state exercises domestic ethnic cleansing against its people. Powerful messages to bring about change through awakening minds and hearts to the state of reality we live in. Zayd ElDada, Director of Cardiac Electrophysiology at MedStar Heart & Vascular Institute, believed that Covid has made us change our lifestyle. He said that doctors and health care providers have stories about how they made their will in front of their children because they did not know what would happen to them. For him, being human means that we have to change this disparity between being consumers to become contributors and turning the situation around in favour of contributing. As for Dr. Dana Khutaila, a New York City double board-certified plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, she felt that the major obstacles in her field were managerial, having to do with disparities in gender equity, especially in Arab countries, where in contrast, in Canada, she was able to get her privileges as a practicing surgeon, immediately.

The Hudson River was not the only subject matter for the Hudson River School of Art. Many of these artists, including Thomas Cole, traveled to the White Mountains of New Hampshire to paint more northern landscapes.
The earliest artists were drawn to the White Mountains because of their irrefutable “sublime” quality. (Read more about this in our blog post: The Hudson River School of Art.) A devastating mudslide in 1826, called The Willey Tragedy, brought attention to the powerful nature and wild environment that was integral to the White Mountains. This feature was very attractive to romantic landscape painters, so they began to swarm to the north east.
Benjamin Chapney was one of these traveling artists. He fell in love with the White Mountains and made his home in North Conway so that he could continue painting scenes of this American wilderness. He opened his studio up to tourists and other artists, and this brought even more painters to the north. In Benjamin Chapney’s autobiography, he wrote, “The meadows and the banks of the Saco were dotted all about with white umbrellas in great numbers.” (Sixty Years’ Memory of Art and Artists) White umbrellas were a staple for plein air painters, and the draw of artists to artists fueled this region’s growing popularity. North Conway is arguably one of America’s first artist colonies.
Just as the style of the Hudson River School died off over time, so did the popularity for painting northern New Hampshire. Eric and Lauren bring this work back into fashion not only with their painting style and subject matter, but with their lifestyle as well. This couple moved out of New York and created a home in Jackson, New Hampshire, to be near the source of their inspiration. Their connection to history is shown by their participation in The Jackson Five, a show hosted by The Jackson Historical Society, which will exhibit work of five artists who have lived in Jackson throughout history.
Eric and Lauren’s show at The Art Place represents work that is beautifully representative of the White Mountain Art of the 19th century. Their paintings capture an untamed wilderness that still exists. They also strive to capture the same themes of the sublime, this time focusing on the fleeting status of our current natural world. | [

How will the single tourist visa be issued?
It will be issued upon application at any of the diplomatic representations of Kenya, Rwanda and Uganda, at the Immigration offices of the respective countries or online, where applicable.
Will it be different from the other visas Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda issue?
The visas for specific countries cost $50 but allow the tourist entry into only that country. he EAC single tourist visa, working like the Schengen visa for European Union countries, will allow tourists to enter any of the three countries and move freely within the other two without having to pay for another visa.
It will be a multiple-entry visa, and tourists will pay $100 for it. The length of stay for which it is issued cannot be extended, neither is the visitor permitted to work.
What prevents me from using a visa issued by the Rwanda embassy in Washington for a business meeting in Kigali to travel with it to Kenya?
Visa issued for a specific country are only used to travel to that country and not into any other EAC country.
How will it work without stamping them?
You will still be required to fill immigration forms where your length of stay in the neighbouring country will be indicated and it will be logged in the system.
Are they all now machine-readable?
Yes. It is machine readable. Rwanda will provide the software for personalisation of the visa stickers to Kenya and Uganda. The software will enable the three countries to share the fees, tourist information and tourism data.
How will member states ensure it works?
Rwanda has been tasked with the duty of setting up the visa and implementing it for the first one year. This will be on rotational basis each year. Rwanda will provide the Information and Communication Technology software for personalisation of the visa stickers to Kenya and Uganda.
The software will enable the three countries to share information on fees and tourist data. So far 60,000 visa stickers have been produced and distributed, in equal numbers, to the respective high commissions and immigration offices of the three countries.
Visa fee collected will be shared among member states, with the issuing country taking $10 and the remaining $90 shared equally among member states.
How will the Single tourist visa benefit the three countries?
They will be able to market themselves as a single tourist destination like for the coming up March 2014 trade fair in Berlin, the Internationale Tourismus-Börs, the world’s largest tourism trade fair.
The Partner States will use the common logo and respective stands be designed to appear similar, they will have a joint promoting committee. A web portal has therefore been formed as www.visiteastafrica.org that will be hosted by Rwanda and pay for hosting and domain name for the first year. Thereafter, payment shall be on rotational basis.
What issues should the partner states address to ensure that the tourist visa is a success?
They should focus on other issues like reducing the airfares within the region. For example, it is more expensive for a tourist to fly within the three countries than to fly into them from say Britain.
A tourist flying from Britain to Kenya will pay $800, then $400 from Kenya to Uganda, and $300 to Rwanda which is very expensive considering the distances between the East African countries.
To market itself as a single tourist destination, hotel rates needs to be such that a five star hotel in Kampala is no different from one in Nairobi or Kigali. East African countries need to implement the standardisation of their hotels to meet the agreed EAC criteria.
Security concerns are a major obstacle to the adoption of a single tourist visa within the region and should be addressed as an emergency by the partner states.

Hurricane Hanna forms off coast of Texas
Hanna has strengthened to 90 mph winds off the coast of Texas, making it the first hurricane of 2020.
As of 5 p.m., Hanna was about 70 miles south of Corpus Christi, Texas, and was moving west at 8 mph. Additional strengthening is forecast before Hanna makes landfall this afternoon or evening.
A hurricane warning is in effect for Port Mansfield to Mesquite Bay, Texas. A tropical storm warning is in effect for Barra el Mezquital Mexico Port Mansfield, Texas, and for Mesquite Bay to High Island, Texas.
Storm surge is also a concern with Hanna and a storm surge warning is in effect for Port Mansfield to Sargent Texas.
Hanna is expected to produce up to 12 inches of rain with isolated areas receiving 18 inches through Sunday night in South Texas.
Hanna won the title of first hurricane after Gonzalo couldn’t muster the strength east of the Windward Islands. Gonzalo was downgraded from a tropical storm Saturday afternoon as its remnants moved across the far southeastern Caribbean.
Off the coast of Africa, a tropical wave now has a 50 percent chance of development over five days. The wave, which is a few hundred miles southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands is a mass of disorganized showers, but could form into a tropical depression as it reaches the western tropical Atlantic. | [

Mines team creating hydrogen membranes for use in nuclear fusion power plants
By Jasmine Leonas, Special to Mines Research Magazine
Fusion, the process that powers the sun and the stars, has long been a part of the conversation about low-carbon sources of electricity. Unlike nuclear power generated through fission, less waste is generated as a byproduct of fusion. However, there isn’t currently a process that successfully produces power through fusion in a way that is cost effective, efficient and safe.
“Fusion is the technology that’s always been 20 years away,” said Colin Wolden, professor of chemical and biological engineering. “However, scientists have recently advanced the fusion gain energy factor to the breakeven point where the power released by the fusion reactions matches that required to sustain the plasma. ITER, the international research collaboration located in France, has targeted achieving the level necessary for practical power generation by the end of the decade. The U.S. startup Commonwealth Fusion Systems has raised more than $2 billion to commercialize this technology within a similar time frame. Wind and solar are the bridge for the next 20 to 50 years, but fusion power could be the ultimate solution to the sustainable energy question.”
A project led by Wolden that began at Mines in January 2021 and is funded by the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) might be a key part in making fusion a realistic source of clean energy in the future. The project’s focus is not on the fusion process itself, but on generating and purifying the hydrogen isotopes that are the fuel for a fusion reactor. In the sun, four hydrogen atoms are fused together to form helium, which is accompanied by a very small loss of mass that generates tremendous amounts of energy as described by Einstein’s theory of relativity equation. On Earth, this process is recreated in a magnetically confined plasma using the hydrogen isotopes deuterium and tritium. In the plasma reactor, only a fraction of these isotopes are converted into helium, so a critical requirement for practical deployment is to efficiently separate the unreacted isotopes from helium and recycle them back to the fusion reactor. Wolden’s team is developing composite membranes for this purpose.
Membranes are often used to purify hydrogen for fuels cells or in the chemical process industry, but the ones Wolden and his team are creating are tailored to operate in the environment of a fusion power plant. The composite membranes are based on low-cost metal foils, such as vanadium or iron, whose surfaces must then be modified to facilitate the transport of hydrogen while withstanding exposure to plasma radiation and high-temperature molten salts. Wolden’s group is using tools of the semiconductor industry, such as reactive sputtering and atomic layer deposition, to modify surfaces and create the catalytic layers that enable such performance.
Wolden said creating a successful membrane could enable a lower cost and more secure fusion energy system and potentially aid in making fusion power plants a reality. Working in collaboration with other teams and industry partners within the ARPA-E umbrella, the goal is to have efficient isotope processing technologies ready for deployment as fusion energy systems advance.
“Fusion has the potential to be an infinite carbon-free power source,” Wolden said. “This may be the long-term solution." | [

In an emotional ceremony Saturday marked by a tribal blessing and the use of a large piece of earthmoving equipment with a golden bucket, crews began to set a river free.
Interior Secretary Ken Salazar and a couple hundred other people gathered on the Elwha River near Port Angeles for the ceremony, marking the beginning of the biggest dam removal project in the United States.
Two dams on the Elwha River inside Olympic National Park are slowly being removed, with the goal of restoring runs of six species of salmon.
The ceremony Saturday included drumming, singing, dancing and a blessing by Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe elder Ben Charles Sr.
The ceremony concluded with Salazar leading a call, echoed by whoops from the crowd, to have a large piece of earthmoving equipment with a golden bucket break up a piece of concrete just upstream of the dam and carry some pieces to the bank.
Some 1,000 dams have been taken down over the last 50 years across the United States, but none of the projects was larger than the one that began this week.
The largest of the two dams stands 210 feet tall. The $325 million project is expected to last three years and eventually restore the Olympic Peninsula river to its wild state and restore salmon runs.
Before two towering concrete dams were built nearly a century ago, the river teemed with salmon but the structures blocked the fishes' access to upstream habitat, diminished their runs and altered the ecosystem.
There has been an acceleration in dam removal in recent years in the United States.
Numbers provided by American Rivers suggest the 1999 removal of Maine's Edwards Dam on the Kennebec River set the stage for more than 430 other such projects across the country in the past decade — more than three times the 130 taken down between 1990 and 1998.
Many of the dams have come up for federal relicensing, contributing to the removal trend. Conservationists and sporting groups encourage the removals, pointing to growing evidence of environmental harm caused by dams and questioning the safety of the impoundments, especially older ones.
You can monitor the removal of the Elwha dams via livestreaming video. | [

An icy New Year's day
Roads stay slick all day
Freezing rain this morning has made roads extremely dangerous. Very light rain is falling into a cold airmass. This light rain is freezing on all road surfaces, not just bridges and overpasses.
Expected periods of freezing rain and some sleet to continue into the early afternoon hours in central Oklahoma. Roads will stay slick into the evening hours.
A new, heavier round of freezing rain will move in Friday afternoon and continue into Friday night. | [

Chapter 532: I Like You, I’ve Always Liked You (2)
Xiao Chun took it with a smile. Her voice was crisp and clear as she looked at her. “Thank you, Lil’ Weilai.” She paused for a moment before turning to Gu Yu. “Thank you, brother Yu.”
Xu Weilai reminded her, “You can open it and see if you like it. If you don’t like it, ask Gu Yu to add another one for you!”
After all, Xiao Chun had too many things, so on her birthday, she would basically pick whatever she liked, then Xu Shuai and Gu Yu would just pay for it.
However, Xu Weilai felt that she had to choose the gift herself in order to express goodwill, so she chose one herself.
Xiao Chun shook her head. “There’s no need to look. As long as it’s from you, I like it.”
When Xu Shuai heard this, he felt that it was especially wondrous. Why could a girl talk to a girl in such a flirtatious manner in the name of friendship, but if a man talked to a man like this…
As he thought about it, he moved to Gu Yu’s side and whispered in his ear, “Ah-Yu, as long as it’s a gift from you, I like it!”
Gu Yu glanced at him sideways with a chilly gaze, but he nodded. His thin lips parted and he spat out a single word, “Okay.”
Xu Shuai had only wanted to skin him a little, but Gu Yu had agreed so readily. He actually wanted to give him a gift? Since he had always been generous with his money, it looked like he had gotten a great deal!
He couldn’t help but chuckle and pushed Gu Yu shyly, “Turns out you like this sort of stuff.”
At the same time, he was already racking his mind for the various limited edition car models that he wanted…
However, in the next second, he was hit in the stomach. Xu Shuai immediately grunted and looked at Gu Yu in disbelief. “Ah-Yu… You, you, you, you, why did you hit me?”
Gu Yu slowly retracted his arm and nonchalantly replied, “This punch is a gift from me to you. Didn’t you say that as long as it’s from me, you’d like it? Do you not like it?”
” … ”
Xu Shuai jumped away. “Sorry to disturb you!”
Xu Weilai and Xiao Chun laughed out loud. Why did Xu Shuai have to provoke the masculine straight man Gu Yu? Wouldn’t he just be looking for trouble…
Xiao Chun still had to go and greet other friends, so she left.
Gu Yu and Xu Weilai found a booth and sat down. She picked up a glass of champagne and wanted to drink it, but the champagne in her hand was snatched away. Gu Yu then placed a glass of fruit juice into her hand as he said in a low voice, “Your injury hasn’t fully healed, so you’re not allowed to drink.”
Xu Weilai felt ambivalent at that moment.
She was very happy that Gu Yu was worried about her, but she was also afraid… that he did all of this out of guilt.
She thought about how after Chen Chen’s birthday party ended, she would have to face the problems between her and Gu Yu!
She forced a smile and pretended to be dissatisfied. “I can drink fruit juice if you want me to, but you have to drink fruit juice with me. We have to share happiness and hardships together!”
He smiled. “Sure.”
Then, he put down the champagne in his hand and picked up the fruit juice.
The two of them held the quilt and drank it.
When it was time to cut the cake, everyone sang a birthday song for Xiao Chun. After she cut the cake, she didn’t make a wish. Instead, she said to everyone, “Thank you all for coming to my birthday party. I invited you here today because I want you to be witnesses. I want to confess my love to a man!”
The crowd was silent for a second before they burst into an uproar. “Love confession! Love confession! Love confession!”
Xiao Chun closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Then, she opened her eyes and faced the direction where Gu Yu and Xu Weilai were standing. She said word by word, “I like you. I’ve always liked you. My feelings for you have never changed ever since high school!” | [

The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and its member countries intend to increase production by 2.1 million barrels per day. The decision by OPEC to raise output comes as demand for oil has grown in nations where the effects of the coronavirus outbreak have faded, resulting in higher oil prices.
For the three months of May to July, OPEC has already indicated that it will produce 2.1 million barrels of oil per day.
In June, OPEC will increase production by 350,000 barrels per day, and in July, it will increase production by 440,000 barrels per day.
Saudi Arabia is rethinking its plans to increase production by one million barrels per day. Saudi Arabia had previously committed to reduce output by 1 million barrels per day owing to a decline in global oil demand caused by COVID.
Oil-producing countries reduced production in 2020 to keep oil prices stable owing to covid. They are steadily expanding their oil production now that the situation has improved.
Oil prices have increased substantially in recent days, reaching a two-year high on Tuesday.
Since the middle of the year, energy demand in the United States, Europe, and Asia has increased.
On Tuesday, US crude oil increased 2% to $67.72 per barrel. Brent crude climbed 2.7 percent to 71.17 dollars per barrel. Brent crude is trading at its highest level in two years. The price of crude oil in the United States has reached a three-year high. | [

Honoring Black Space Pioneers: Benjamin Banneker
February 15, 2023
Today we’re honoring a true forgotten founding father, Benjamin Banneker.
Banneker was the first Black astronomer in the United States. Largely self-taught, his work contradicted that of well-known mathematicians and astronomers at the time.
He predicted the positions of the Sun, the Moon, and the planets in 1791. Despite challenges getting his work published, he authored this *accurate* prediction in the first series of almanacs in America.
His fight for equality began when he sent his 1791 Almanac to Thomas Jeffersion, including a letter fiercly denouncing slavery and Jefferson's participation in it. He later published their correspondence in his 1793 Almanac, making him one of the first published Civil Rights Activists.
Benjamin not only our understanding of space and astronomy, but he also helped start a movement for justice that we still continue today. Without him, we'd have far less knowledge, insight, and compassion for our world and everything around it. | [

Did You Know? Colors of New York Fire Hydrants Explained
The annual burn ban is still in effect in New York, and while the focus remains on fire safety, it's a great time to review what the color of your local fire hydrant is telling you.
If you look at children's books, cartoons, or even picture one in your head, fire hydrants are red. The surprising truth is that not only are most public hydrants a completely different color all together, but their differently-colored caps send a message to the fire department.
The National Fire Protection Association and Fire Hydrants
Most hydrant standards, including their color, are set by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). While many cities like Poughkeepsie, NY still have red hydrants (above), the standard color of a hydrant body is called "chrome yellow". Hydrants in Newburgh, NY (below) not only have yellow bodies, but their caps are different colors as well. This is for a very specific reason.
Differently-Colored Fire Hydrants in New York State
The varying colors of fire hydrant caps are referring to the capacity of the water pipes that feed the hydrant. This helps to communicate to firefighters how much water (and how strong of a flow) they can expect when attaching their hoses. The NFPA breaks it down below.
What the Color of a New York Fire Hydrant Means
There are four standard colors for fire hydrant caps: red, orange, green, and blue. A red-capped hydrant has the smallest pipe attachment, while a blue-capped hydrant offers the highest flow of gallons per minute (GPM). Here's how it breaks down:
- Red indicates a water-flow capacity of fewer than 500 GPM
- Orange indicates a water-flow capacity of 500 to 999 GPM.
- Green indicates a water-flow capacity of 1,000 to 1,499 GPM.
- Blue indicates a water-flow capacity of 1,500 or greater GPM.
While these are suggested guidelines, they aren't required by law, and many towns and cities across the country have adopted other colors and color codes. Many hydrants in Beacon, NY, for example, have silver-capped hydrants. As far as hydrant body color, the general rule of thumb is that yellow and white hydrants are connected to public water supplies, while red hydrants are connected to a private water source. | [

Betelgeuse is the 10e-brightest star in the night sky and second-brightest in the constellation Orion, although the red supergiant has dimmed by about a third of its normal brightness in 2019-2020. This so-called Great Dimming was accidentally captured by a weather satellite called Himawari-8.
Observations of Himawari-8 were presented in an article published in natural astronomy. The results suggest that the perceived dimming was caused by a combination of the star’s cooling and nearby dust condensation.
The paper’s lead author, Daisuke Taniguchi, an astronomer at Japan’s University of Tokyo, explains that Himawari-8 is a weather satellite in geostationary orbit around the Earth, capable of observing almost half of Earth’s surface. the planet. The main purpose of the satellite is “daily weather forecasting, weather study”.
So how come this weather satellite is now telling us about Betelgeuse, about 724 light-years from Earth?
Learn about astronomy: supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way, Sagittarius A*, photographed for the first time
The researchers realized that while capturing information about Earth’s climate, Himawari-8 could have picked up signals from Betelgeuse in the background. Sure enough, further analysis of footage from 2019-2020 showed that to be the case.
Taniguchi’s team gathered four and a half years of observations from the satellite, including the six-month period in which Betelgeuse faded. The optical and infrared radiation that Himawari-8 normally detects was ideal for studying dimming. Additionally, its orbit above Earth meant it could record infrared light typically blocked by the atmosphere.
In support of previous ground-based observations, the authors suggest that Betelgeuse’s dimming was caused in equal parts by the star’s cooling of around 140°C and by a nearby dust cloud condensing from the hot gas surrounding it.
Taniguchi says “it is now well known that part of the cause of the dimming is a decrease in the surface temperature – as a technical term it is called ‘effective temperature’ – of Betelgeuse. However, it has been debated which is the other part of the cause.
“Some have suggested that dust condensation just above the star’s surface is responsible for this part, but others have pointed out that dust condensation is not necessary to explain the dimming and that, at instead of the dust scenario, an increased unevenness of the stellar surface or a newly formed gas cloud could be the cause.
Other work that has attempted to answer this question of what causes the “other part” of dimming uses “optical and near-infrared data, and therefore inevitably suffers from inaccuracies in theoretical models, which are used to determine the cause,” Taniguchi said.
Using observations from Himawari-8, the team was able to determine the amount of dust around Betelgeuse over time. “That’s because this dust emits mid-infrared light (light with a wavelength of about 10 micrometers), and so it’s relatively easy (and relatively unaffected by model uncertainties) to determine the amount of dust,” says Taniguchi.
“As a result, we found that the amount of dust may have, in fact, increased during the Great Dimming phase, and we therefore conclude that the Great Dimming of Betelgeuse was due to both the decrease in surface temperature and to increased dust extinction.”
In addition to providing answers to the cause of the Great Darkening of Betelgeuse, Taniguchi argues that the book opens new avenues for the study of stars. “We pioneered a new field of ‘time-domain stellar astrophysics using weather satellites’. This concept will provide astronomers with a new way to study the time-varying infrared universe.
He notes that weather satellites also offer advantages for stellar observations over telescopes on Earth, which have to deal with the distorting effects caused by the atmosphere and the Sun. “Ground-based observatories can observe in the mid-infrared, but only in a small number of atmospheric windows,” he says. “Furthermore, ground observations inevitably suffer from the Sun in optics and infrared. For example, Betelgeuse cannot be observed on the ground for several months around August, but we can with Himawari-8. | [

Melbourne: Juan Martin del Potro beat Germany's Philipp Kohlschreiber 6-4, 6-2, 6-1 at Melbourne Park on Sunday to advance to his first Grand Slam quarterfinal since his 2009 U.S. Open win.
Del Potro, the 11th seed from Argentina, has only dropped one set en route to reaching the quarterfinals of the Australian Open for the second time. He also made the quarters in 2009.
Del Potro, who was sidelined for much of 2010 after undergoing wrist surgery, improved his ranking from a low of No. 485 last January to his current position at No. 11.

Potential therapy strategy: targeting mitochondrial dysfunction in sepsis
Recently, the definition of sepsis was concluded to be a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection. Severe patients always present with uncorrectable hypotension or hyperlactacidemia, which is defined as septic shock. The new definition emphasizes dysregulation of the host response and multiple organ dysfunction, which is partially attributed to metabolic disorders induced by energy crisis and oxidative stress. Mitochondria are a cellular organelle that are well known as the center of energy production, and mitochondrial damage or dysfunction is commonly induced in septic settings and is a predominant factor leading to a worse prognosis. In the present review, we determine the major mitochondrial disorders from morphology to functions in sepsis. In the following, several clinical or pre-clinical assays for monitoring mitochondrial function are demonstrated according to accumulated evidence, which is the first step of specific therapy targeting to modulate mitochondrial function. Accordingly, various reagents used for regulating mitochondrial enzyme activities and promoting biogenesis have been documented, among which mitochondria-targeted cation, TPP-conjugated antioxidants are the most valuable for future trials and clinical treatment to improve mitochondrial function as they may take advantage of the prognosis associated with septic complications.

Sepsis is redefined as life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection. Severe patients with septic shock require vasopressors to maintain a mean arterial pressure of 65 mmHg in the absence of hypovolemia or present with hyperlactacidemia (serum lactate level > 2 mmol/L). A higher serum lactate level reflects a systemic metabolic dysfunction induced by an insufficient consumption of nutrients, such as glucose. Mitochondria are the key cellular organelles responsible for nutrient metabolism and energy production. Sepsis-induced mitochondrial damage or dysfunction is the major cause of cellular metabolism disturbance, insufficient energy production, and accompanied oxidative stress, which evoke apoptosis in both organ cells and immune cells and finally lead to immunologic dissonance, multiple organ failure, and even death in patients [2, 3]. Accordingly, well protection from mitochondrial disorders is critical to reserve cell homeostasis and might be a significant cause of better prognoses.
Morphology and function of mitochondria
The mitochondrion is a double-membrane-bound organelle found universally in almost all eukaryotic organisms that are commonly between 0.75 and 3.00 μm in diameter but vary in size and structure. The number of mitochondria in a cell may vary widely by cell, tissue or organ type. For instance, red blood cells lack mitochondria, whereas liver cells and skeletal muscle cells can have more than 2000. A mitochondrion is composed of compartments or regions that carry out specialized functions, including the outer membrane, the intermembrane space, the inner membrane, the cristae, and matrix. One of the characteristics of mitochondria that differs from other organelles is that it has an independent genome that shows substantial similarity to bacterial genomes, known as mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). Mitochondrial proteins transcribed from mtDNA are responsible for its own biogenesis and nutrient metabolism.
Along with bioenergetics, mitochondria are involved in various crucial functions, including redox signaling, calcium flux, and programmed cell death (apoptosis). Mitochondria are the most capable storage for calcium and regulate its intercellular balance. OXPHOS produces reactive oxygen species (ROS) that are indispensable mediators of several signaling pathways. A morphological alteration-induced membrane destabilization or rupture is the promoter for cell apoptosis and calcium disorder, while the dysfunction of ETC-induced incompletion of OXPHOS can cause a lack of energy and overload of ROS, thereby resulting in injury to cells and multiple organs [4, 5].
Mitochondria dysfunction in sepsis
The description of morphological impairment of mitochondria was first reported in a canine model of septic cardiomyopathy decades ago, and it is characterized by swelling, loss of cristae, cleared matrix, internal vesicles, and rupture of the inner and outer membranes. Similar alterations of mitochondria are identified in septic patients by postmortem biopsies.
The main causes of mitochondrial swelling are collectively known as direct inner membrane damage induced by oxidative stress and calcium overload in the mitochondrial matrix, forcing an increase in membrane pore permeability and a consequent alteration of osmotic pressure between the outer and inner membranes [7, 8]. After injury, dysfunctional or damaged mitochondria are selectively targeted by autophagosomes and delivered to lysosomes for clearance or recycling, which is called mitophagy. In postmortem examination or biopsy in clinical studies, a greater number of autophagosomes are observed in various organ cells in septic patients. A consistent phenomenon has been confirmed in animal experiments, and blockade of autophagy promoted | [

A pair of F-4s, from the 82nd Aerial Targets Squadron Det. 1, soars through the skies over Holloman Air Force Base, N.M., during a recent sortie. The QF-4s are used a target drones by the 53rd Weapons Evaluation Group at Holloman and at Tyndall Air Force Base, Fla. They are remotely flown during the air-to-air weapons system evaluation program known as Combat Archer. Pilots gain valuable air combat training and experience targeting and firing missiles at the drone aircraft. The QF-4 will eventually be replaced by the QF-16, currently undergoing developmental testing at Tyndall. The 53rd WEG is a geographically separated unit of the 53rd Wing headquartered at Eglin Air Force Base.

One of the most powerful catalysts for healing is the power of a deeply meaningful relationship. There is a dynamic spiritual synergy that takes place when two people connect on a soul level with each other.
Human beings are bonding animals. We need to connect to each other and to love. We are deeply touched when we see this bonding and unconditional love in a dog toward it’s human. The same dynamic on a much deeper level is just as important in human to human relationships.
Brain research shows that neurochemical pathways are altered in the brain when people are engaged in these meaningful human connections. New brain connections allow more efficient brain functioning, and the body responds with greater efficiency of its functioning, including more balanced blood pressure and an increase in immune system functioning. Of course, there are also the mental/emotional benefits of greater emotional balance and the improved cognitive functioning and creativity that follows.
Healing relationships develop when two people suspend all judgment of each other and look deeply into that person for their true self, while at the same time, each person is open in revealing who they truly are. We are usually so busy judging people by some societal standard, and so busy trying to create a certain image of ourselves until a healing relationship is not possible. When the relationship (philosopher Martin Buber called these relationships, “I-Thou” relationships) does occur, you immediately know it. Sometimes our automatic defences against being hurt or disappointed in such intimacy shuts down the relationship. Those who are more open and ready for such intimacy allow the relationship to flow and work its healing in both people’s lives.
The I-Thou relationship starts with two people truly valuing each other. Each sees who the other person really is beneath the surface persona, and sees the other person’s potential.
From this place of trust, each person begins to truly listen to the other person, without any judgment or any need to convey a message to them. Each person is only focused on understanding the other person’s point of view and experience of life. There is no desire to manipulate the other person into seeing your perspective or philosophy. You are simply trying to enter into their experience of the moment.
Trust develops in these relationships, and each person feels the deep satisfaction of being truly known, understood, and accepted for who they are in that moment. There is no sense of being valued only for what you can do for that person, or how you can someday attain their approval. You are highly valued just as you are.
Amazing healing and creativity follows the development of such relationships. Having even one I-Thou relationship in your life can be a powerful force in your life.
Of course, not every relationship can or should be an I-Thou relationship. We actually need objectivity in most of our relationships. However, there are certain relationships that should always have at least a strong component of the I-Thou relationship: Parents to their children; and spouses to each other.
Friendships are often the most common types of relationships that become healing relationships. This post is meant to encourage you to seek those people who can be a healing force in your life. Look for non-judgmental people who are truly good listeners and who are not trying to manipulate you to see things their way. I-Thou relationships often take place between two people of very different religious and political perspectives, just because agreement is not one of the components of a healing relationship, only acceptance and understanding.
A beautiful sentiment that captures the essence of a healing relationship is in the following anonymous quote: I WISH I COULD SHOW YOU, WHEN YOU ARE LONELY OR IN DARKNESS, THE ASTONISHING LIGHT OF YOUR OWN BEING.

Algonquin College Trigeneration Plant
HH Angus was retained to design a trigeneration plant for Ottawa’s Algonquin College. Our scope included review of Siemens’ PSUI application to IESO, and assisting with their application. Because the existing central utility plant (CUP) was not large enough to accommodate new plant systems, our team developed a pre-engineered building to be built adjacent to the existing CUP.
As Prime Consultant, HH Angus retained Milman and Associates to undertake the required structural engineering, including a roof design to accommodate the cooling towers, rad cooler and transformer. An additional mezzanine was added to house auxiliary equipment.
In order to maximize the usable heat during summer months, a 350 ton absorption chiller, using double effect flue gas and hot water, was detailed. The 2 MW reciprocating trigeneration plant features selective catalytic reduction units and a heat recovery boiler.
Some project challenges included:
- Integrating and commissioning a trigeneration system into an operating facility
- Noise constraints due to proximity of CUP to College operations
- Space constraints due to pre-engineered building
- Footprint was maxed out based on site restrictions; HH Angus had to take into account future co-gen, chiller and ancillaries
- Ongoing upgrades in CUP heating and cooling, which HH Angus coordinated with another consultant
- Operating flexibility required for both parallel and island operation
- Solutions included: designed mezzanines in the existing CUP to house equipment and accommodate new, pre-engineered building for the second cogen and chiller; and rigorous scheduling coordination with Utility and College operations staff

Each time you use Siri, your phone will be connecting to the internet both through your phone network or Wi-Fi, this activity of course eating your data.
And the cost you have to pay is increasing fast as you are connecting to the internet too often.
And Engadget has listed a comparison data usage between A5 based device with its older A4 brother, and here is the result:
According to prior studies, the iPhone 4 used only 1.6x more data than the iPhone 3G, while the iPad 2 consumed 2.5x more data than the iPhone 3G.
As you can see the A5 device consumes almost twice data than the older models. And currently there are millions of iPhone 4s users. This situation makes two giant cellular telephone plans companies, Verizon and AT&T, having a hard time in their network because of Siri alone. The effect of this AT&T has to deal with dropped calls, slowdowns of their data service.
So what is the solution for the problem to deal with this little bandwidth appetite? In my head now is unlimited data bundle. That's it! | [

Editor’s note: This was first published back on Christmas Eve of 2009. The world was a dramatically different place back then. Accordingly, it has been nuanced over the years since its first publication. The message it intends to convey, however, is timeless. This year… 2021… The world is in an especially troubled place. Covid lockdowns, mask & vaccine mandates, separation of families between vaccinated and unvaccinated, and wildly ever-changing rules about travel and social gatherings have combined to make this year’s Christmas celebration even more difficult to enjoy. Add to this the drug addiction and overdose crisis along with the exploding numbers of homeless and destitute amongst us, and it’s easy enough to recognize the troubled State we are in as a nation and a people. Now more than ever we should all take pause and reflect on how we might seek out ways to offer an outstretched hand to those in Greater Peril than ourselves.
No matter where you go or what you do, at this time of year, you cannot avoid the marketing and advertising “blitzkrieg” that has transformed the Christmas season into some horribly disfigured mutation of the original point of the holiday. Thanks in large part to the political correctness movement, and this idea that public displays of religion and faith… most especially Christian religion and faith… are now considered offensive to the smaller numbers of non-believers, and should be constrained wherever and whenever possible.
All the while, as this unwinnable cultural Civil War rages on, there are vast numbers of innocent bystanders out there around the world silently suffering through a sadness or anguish or heartbreak or loss that those cultural Civil warriors could scarcely comprehend let alone personally endure or overcome.
Each of us – from every faith and lack thereof – would be well-served by the reminder that, for some, the Christmas holiday season is not necessarily a happy or joyous time of year. It should inspire you to take pause, long enough to see beyond the gadgets and baubles and trinkets and consider the lives and circumstances of our less fortunate brothers and sisters around the world. It should encourage you, as well, to be just a little more humble, a little more generous, and a whole lot more kind… not just to your friends, families, and loved ones, but to the nameless & unfamiliar faces of “your tired, your poor, your huddled masses” that you encounter as you walk freely about the cabins of your everyday lives.
While a lot of us are busy with family and friends and parties and School vacations… or festivals and parades and shopping malls and fancy-wrapped packages… there are far too many among us are barely holding on by a tattered and unraveling thread. For some, this is perhaps the worst time of the year. Overwhelming feelings of isolation and sadness and devastating loss can be renewed or heightened.
As well, this time of year can serve to deepen those feelings of helplessness and hopelessness and despair. There are many without family or friends or loved ones to share the season with. There are some that have been abandoned or forgotten or pushed aside. Some have chosen to give up on the world altogether… giving up on themselves and everything they once were.
This year there are people huddled in a cardboard box under a bridge somewhere or curled up in a dark alley far away from anyone they have ever known or loved or cared about. There are people, too, sitting in a dark room out there somewhere, staring at the pistol in their hands and thinking about their future… and wondering just how much more of it they can bear to envision.
There are brothers and sisters out there who, having lost their jobs or their homes (or both), that find themselves angry and bitter and resentful of a God or a Government or a peer or a loved one that could have helped make a difference in their lives that chose not to.
It is during this season, under the banner of “faith, fellowship, peace on earth, and good will toward men, that I encourage you to keep whoever fits any of these descriptions, in your own life, especially close in your thoughts and prayers as you move through your own Holiday season traditions. I also encourage you to look beyond your own lives… if only for a few moments… and consider reaching out and connecting to some of the random strangers you encounter over the days and weeks ahead. A smile, a warm wish, a handshake… even a kind and simple gesture… might just save someone’s life or completely turn it around and pointed toward a new and better path.
Christmas is meant to be a time of reverence and remembrance and showing goodwill toward men. It is meant to be a celebration of life, a renewal of faith and fellowship, and an expression of love and generosity toward others. It’s not about trees and sleighs and stringed popcorn. It’s not about Target and M | [

Shell-shocked snails carry health warning
Whales and fish that feed on tiny swimming snails could face a hungry future if carbon dioxide emissions continue to rise.
The survival of the snails is threatened by a rise in the acidity of the oceans near the poles that would result from a "business as usual" approach to emissions from fossil fuel burning, a new study shows.
Richard Matear, a CSIRO scientist and member of the international research team, said the food chain in the Southern Ocean could be badly hit within decades, rather than centuries, as previously thought.
"This is a very important issue," Dr Matear said. "Changes in seawater chemistry that will occur by the end of the century could well alter the structure and biodiversity of polar ecosystems."
The team found that snail shells started to dissolve within 48 hours of being placed in water similar to that predicted to occur in 2100, which would have low levels of carbonate ions.
The study, by a team led by James Orr at the Laboratoire des Sciences du Climat et de l'Environnement in France is published today in the journal Nature.
Along with shrimp-like krill, the swimming snails, or pteropods, are at the bottom of the food chain. They are eaten by fish including salmon, mackerel, herring, cod and by baleen whales.
As carbon dioxide dissolves in the ocean, the water becomes more acidic. The acidity leads to a reduction in the level of carbonate ions which the snails use to make their calcium carbonate shells.
Using computer modelling, the team predicted the Southern Ocean would start to become undersaturated in calcium carbonate by 2050, which would make it difficult for snails to keep producing their shells and survive.
Dr Matear said more research was needed to determine the effects on whales and fish. | [

MCALLEN, TEXAS (Aug. 17, 2021) – South Texas College is a shining example not only for the state of Texas but for the entire country, according to the chair of the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board Dr. Fred Farias III.
Speaking at a roundtable-style meeting with THECB Commissioner of Higher Education Harrison Keller, in attendance with STC President Dr. Ricardo J. Solis and college vice presidents and deans on Aug. 11, Farias, a Rio Grande Valley native, took the time to familiarize Keller with the college’s impact in communities.
“We have a unique culture in the Valley, and higher education is the key to young people and to those adult learners coming back, to give them the opportunities to be able to get an education and to do well with their jobs and do well with their families and help us grow our community,” Farias said. “We are so happy that Commissioner Keller is here, and we appreciate your willingness to come and listen to the RGV’s needs.”
Farias has witnessed first-hand the needs of the RGV by serving local communities as an optometrist and as a member of many civic, professional, and philanthropic organizations.
“Our culture is different. Our academic needs are different, and our students are unique,” Farias said. “We have a lot of bright students here in the Valley, and South Texas College has created many unique programs and has been a shining example not only for the state of Texas but for the entire country.”
The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) was created by the Texas Legislature in 1965 to represent the highest authority in the state in matters of public higher education.
The Board is comprised of nine members appointed by the Governor for six-year staggered terms and one non-voting student representative who serves for a one-year term. The Governor also appoints the chair and vice-chair, and the Board meets quarterly in Austin.
“There’s a ton that going on at the agency right now as you all know,” Keller told STC leaders. “There are some places that have slowed down. There are some areas where we have been able to speed up and have some unique opportunities so we are more than a year ahead on our work to modernize our educational workforce. I think that is going to be very important, and as we move forward.
“The idea isn’t just to modernize the infrastructure, but we’re organizing to make it much more accessible and useful, especially to inform our students who are making decisions for programs and academic affairs and to bring pride to your institution versus other institutions,” Keller said.
The meeting was an opportunity for STC leadership to offer updates as well as concerns on a variety of pressing matters for the college to THECB including the latest on academic programs, transfer concerns, community college state funding, training initiatives with Mexico, discussion of Nursing and Allied Health Programs, and many more.
“It is so great to hear the vision the commissioner brings especially when it comes to affordability, access, and more importantly empathy,” President Solis said. “That is so refreshing to hear. Here at South Texas College, we have very unique challenges and most importantly opportunities due to our (economy) and rapidly growing factories. We are very excited because just like the college has grown so rapidly in the Valley, our challenges will continue because we have the youngest population in the entire state.
“We are not only interested but concerned to make sure that we are meeting the needs of the workforce in the community,” Dr. Solis said.

Kentucky hard rockers Black Stone Cherry brought the sound of The Deep South to Wembley’s SSE Arena on Saturday 1st November 2014. Looking as though they had just climbed out of their pickup trucks rather than arena-headlining rock stars, the band went on to play an astounding show to end their first UK arena tour.
With a white curtain obstructing the stage, the band’s silhouettes towered above the audience to the intense opening riff of “Rain Wizard.” As Chris Robertson’s (lead vocals, guitar) powerful voice filled the arena with “Here comes the rain!” the curtain dropped with a blast of their pyrotechnics. The Kentucky Quattro showed no sign of stopping as they swiftly followed with “Blind Man” and the first single from their latest album, Magic Mountain, “Me and Mary Jane.”
Showing a more tender side of their music, the band went on to play “In My Blood,” and later in the set, “Things My Father Said.” For the majority of these ballads Robertson stepped away from the microphone to hear the audience sing along to his lyrics. Robertson became noticeably moved as the crowd of twelve thousand bellowed their hearts out, and while it would have been incredible to hear his defining voice sing such meaningful songs, it was hard to argue with the amazing atmosphere this created in the arena.
The 80s metal-styled platforms that enclosed the stage appeared to drown the band and their equipment, especially in comparison to supporting band Airbourne’s twenty-four amp setup. Nevertheless, Robertson and fellow band mates John Fred Young (drums) Ben Wells (guitar) and Jon Lawhon (bass) broke free from their surroundings with their dominant sound and set list, which went on to include “Holding On… To Letting Go,” “Maybe Someday,” “Such a Shame,” “Fiesta del Fuego,” “Like I Roll,” “Bad Luck and Hard Love,” “Hollywood In Kentucky,” “Hell and High Water,” “Soulcreek,” “White Trash Millionaire,” “Blame It on the Boom Boom,” and even a cover of Cream’s “Sunshine Of Your Love.”
Returning onstage for an encore the band seemed genuinely grateful to be playing such a renowned venue as they thanked their fans. Before going into “Peace Is Free,” Robertson stated “This is unreal. It’s because of you we’ve made it here… The UK made this band. That’s why we won’t stop coming back.” Black Stone Cherry ended the night with an incredible performance of “Lonely Train,” which left the crowd roaring for more.
After years of making their way up from venues such as the London Astoria and Hammersmith Apollo, Black Stone Cherry proved themselves a worthy arena headliner. The sound they have created is truly made for the larger audience. Maybe someday we will we see them conquer the main stage at Download Festival. | [

The daily test positivity rate drops to 16.71%
Bangladesh has registered 120 more deaths from Covid-19 in the 24 hours until Saturday morning, taking the total number of fatalities to 25,143.
The latest single-day death toll is the lowest since June 30, when a total of 115 people died from the deadly virus.
The country also confirmed 3,991 new infections during this period -- the lowest since July 22.
With the latest development, the number of total cases rose to 1,457,194 across the country, said a Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS) press release on Saturday.
As many as 23,882 samples were tested across the country, with a positivity rate of 16.71%.
On the other hand, another 7,666 patients recovered from the infectious disease across the country, taking the total number of recoveries to 1,355,421.
Dhaka logged 2,139 cases, the highest among the divisions, followed by Chittagong with 996.
To date, more than 8.61 million tests have been conducted around the country, leading to an overall test positivity rate of 16.91%.
The seven-day moving average of daily deaths in Bangladesh also dropped to 165 on Saturday.
For a seven-day moving average, one has to take the data of the last one week, add them up, and divide it by seven. The most common application of moving average is to identify trend direction.
Of the 120 deceased – 69 men and 51 women – two were aged above 91, one was aged between 81 and 90 years, 24 aged between 71 and 80 years, 50 people between 61 and 70, 24 aged between 51 and 60, 14 aged between 41 and 50, four in the 31-40 age group, and one was aged below 10.
Dhaka also logged the highest deaths with 40 fatalities, followed by Chittagong with 27.
Khulna division counted 15 deaths, Sylhet 13, Mymensingh six, Rajshahi nine, Barisal three, and Rangpur seven.
So far, 16,465 men (65.49%) and 8,678 women (34.51%) have died from Covid-19 in Bangladesh.
The mortality rate against the total number of cases detected so far stands at 1.73%.
The health authorities in Bangladesh reported the first three cases of Covid-19, a severe acute respiratory illness caused by a strain of coronavirus named Sars-CoV-2, on March 8, 2020.
The fast spreading coronavirus has claimed more than 4.4 million lives and infected over 211 million people across the world till Saturday evening, according to worldometer.
As many as 189.47 million people have recovered from Covid-19, which has spread to 220 countries and territories across the planet. | [

Cheap, low-emission shale gas, with double the global reserves of conventional sources, will discourage investment in nuclear reactors and carbon storage that would fight climate change, a British study shows. “In a world where there is the serious possibility of cheap, relatively clean gas, who will commit large sums of money to expensive pieces of equipment to lower carbon emissions?” Paul Stevens, senior research fellow at Chatham House, a London- based institute for the study of international affairs, wrote in the report published today.
Global shale gas reserves are estimated to be 456 trillion cubic meters (16,110 trillion cubic feet) compared with 187 trillion cubic meters for conventional gas, the London-based World Energy Council said in a 2010 report. More than 60 percent of shale gas deposits, or plays, are in North America and Russia.
Shale gas is considered unconventional because it is found in sedimentary rock, not in reservoirs. Tapping it requires more wells, advanced horizontal drilling and chemicals that can pollute ground water.
A confluence of drilling history, tax credits, emission goals, technology, and incentives for landowners to allow wells has reduced U.S. shale gas production costs to less than half of conventional gas in some places, Stevens wrote. That is shaking investor confidence in conventional gas.
Cheaper Than Conventional
The cost of producing shale gas is $3 or less per million British thermal units in the Texas plays of Barnett and Haynesville, Stevens wrote. Conventional gas drilling is about $10 per million Btu, said Chris Rowland, executive director of a research unit of Ecofin Ltd., a London-based investment management company.
“If gas is available at $5 per million Btu, the all-in price for gas-fired plants would fall to around 50 euros ($67) per megawatt-hour without carbon capture and storage, or 70 euros with it,” Rowland said. That compares with 160 euros for a coal plant with CCS, perhaps falling to 130 euros in 10 years, and 85 euros for a nuclear plant, Rowland said. | [

The kids in the FAYZ have separated into two distinct camps; those by the lake, led by Sam and those in town led by self-appointed King Caine. This is the book where so many of the premises that have been set up over the previous four books get challenged. Just when there seems to be a good thing going in relation to food production, the dome begins to turn black. If it goes totally black, there is no more food production and people will die. And, as Sam knows all too well, many kids are terribly afraid of the dark.
While I’ve come to love the characters and need to know what is going to happen to them, I’ve reached the point where I just want this series to end. It was very clever to start to see the outside world more and more in this book. Finally, it is confirmed that it does exist and they want to find a way to save those inside. But I want it over. | [

Recovery of oleate-inhibited anaerobic digestion by addition of simple substrates
Kuang, Y., Pullammanappallil, P., Lepesteur, M. and Ho, G.E. (2006) Recovery of oleate-inhibited anaerobic digestion by addition of simple substrates. Journal of Chemical Technology & Biotechnology, 81 (6). pp. 1057-1063.
*Subscription may be required
Four laboratory-scale anaerobic digesters were deliberately and completely inhibited by feeding sodium oleate to such an extent that no methane was produced from the digesters. Three of them were then respectively fed glucose, cysteine or glucose and cysteine along with sodium oleate, while the remaining digester was operated as control reactor and continued to be fed with only sodium oleate. Oligonucleotide probes ARC915, EUB338, MB310, MC1109, MSMX860 and MG1200 were used to target and quantify specific groups of microbes, Archaea, Bacteria, Methanobacteriales, Methanococcales, Methanosarcinaceae, and Methanomicrobiaceae, Methanocorpusculaceae and Methanoplanaceae respectively throughout the operation of reactors. Addition of glucose and/or cysteine assisted with the recovery of methane production from oleate inhibition. The addition of glucose was more effective than cysteine, while the combination of glucose and cysteine was most effective on this recovery. The addition of these substrates also stimulated the degradation of oleate in the reactor. Daily methane production from the digesters correlated negatively with residual oleate concentration and positively with Archaea counts. Addition of glucose was more effective than cysteine on increasing the number of Archaea cells, while cysteine was more effective in increasing the number of Bacteria cells. All microbial populations recovered to pre-inhibition levels within 40 days when glucose together with cysteine was fed.

This last week I volunteered at the San Francisco International Ocean Film Festival (SFIOFF). This film festival showcases dozens of films from around the world and “brings the power and mystery of the ocean to the beautiful San Francisco waterfront.” I have a deep passion for the ocean and this felt like a perfect place for me to volunteer for two days.
The films were developed and produced by a range of talents from youth to professionals. The films covered topics from ocean animals to threats to the ocean to surfing. I expected to walk away energized by the beauty and power of the sea. At times I was totally energized as I found myself in awe of the color of the species and their unique adaptations for survival to the ocean climate. Yet, at other times I found myself increasingly anxious and overwhelmed by the alarming threats to the world’s oceans. The films woke me up in a very uncomfortable way and reminded me how little time we have to get this right. The impacts of climate change on the oceans of our planet continues to accelerate.

Why Daily Exercise is Vital
Our bodies were designed by our Creator to move. Our joints, our muscles, our breathing and circulatory systems all function better when we are moving. Our digestion and immune systems work better when we move. Our brain and our reactions are more efficient when we move on a regular basis. Our bodies heal and recover from injuries faster when we move.
The benefits of movement, exercise if you will, are never-ending and too often overlooked. Years ago, just getting through life kept us moving. We walked more, climbed more stairs, rode bicycles more and did more physical labor as a normal part of life. With modern conveniences such as remote controls, cell phones, elevators and computers our movement has been reduced to a point where we could probably stay in one place most of each day.
The benefits of exercise are far more than just losing weight or achieving a more slender body. Exercise benefits everything from our sleep quality to our energy level, even our memory. Here are just a small sample of the benefits of regular exercise:
- Get an energy boost – When we are feeling exhausted the last thing we want to do is exercise. According to experts, that is exactly what we should do. Low-intensity exercise, equivalent to a leisurely stroll or bicycle ride, helped boost energy by 20% and drop fatigue levels.
- Improve memory – Studies have shown aerobic exercise such as swimming or jogging, boosts memory function and learning ability.
- Increase strength and flexibility – Strength training, whether it is lifting weights, doing bodyweight exercises or practicing yoga, helps improve muscle strength and muscle mass. This is particularly true as we age. Improved strength keeps bones strong and is a key component of naturally fighting osteoporosis. Stretching and flexibility movements improves circulation, digestion and lowers the risk for cardiovascular disease.
- Boost happiness levels – Exercise is one of the fastest natural ways to improve happiness and overall feel better. Recent studies have shown people that exercise regularly had more pleasant feelings and more positive outlooks.
- Sleep better – Who doesn’t want to sleep better? Exercise helps strengthen circadian rhythms and promotes higher quality sleep. Unfortunately, better sleep does not always show up immediately. This one takes some patience as improving sleep patterns may take weeks or a few months after beginning regular exercise. But it’s worth the wait.
- Live longer – One of regular exercise’s greatest benefits is longer and healthier lives. Not only do regular exercisers live an average of 1.8 to 4.2 years longer, but those years are fuller with fewer trips to the Doctor.
The next time we think we are too busy to exercise, just review all the benefits of regular movement. Sitting around and watching TV robs years from our lives. Jump up, go out and do something, anything is better than staying on the couch. Be well.

While most major cookware brands are safe, there are a few top names that go above and beyond to ensure your cookware is safe.
Here we’ll look at the top non-toxic cookware brands, their safety history, and the qualities of quality cookware. Here’s what to look for when buying a set of new non-toxic cookware. We’ll also cover the benefits of non-toxic cookware and how to tell which ones are the best.
Best Non-Toxic Cookware
You may put a great deal of thought into which ingredients you cook with, but you might not be paying as much attention to the materials behind the pots and pans you have on hand. According to the FDA, high levels of toxic chemicals from the wrong nonstick cookware can enter our food supply and cause long-term damage. Luckily, there are plenty of non-toxic cookware brands available for every home cook’s purposes.
While these dangerous chemicals known as PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) were commonly found in many Teflon and nonstick pans sold nationwide, they are thankfully being phased out of production. But you should still check the labels to find out exactly what materials are used in new cookware before buying it, just in case.
Stainless steel, ceramic, glass, and cast-iron pots and pans are usually the go-to materials for chefs who didn’t want to risk chemicals seeping into their food. But if you still want to enjoy the convenience of cooking with nonstick pots and pans, you’re in luck. Newer brands like Caraway and Our Place have developed innovative cookware products that are both nonstick and non-toxic.
To help you figure out which non-toxic pots and pans are best for your kitchen, we turned to customers who have bought and cooked with these items for themselves. Each product detailed below not only has near-perfect ratings but an overwhelming number of glowing reviews as well.
From ceramic cookware sets to stainless steel pots and glass dishes, keep reading to shop the eight non-toxic cookware items that shoppers love cooking with the most.
These brands are the best non-toxic cookware to shop now:
- Best Overall: Cuisinart Tri-Ply Stainless Steel Cookware Set
- Best Set: Caraway Cookware Set
- Best All-in-One Pan: Our Place Always Pan
- Best Glass Option: Pyrex Clear Glass Baking Dish
- Best Ceramic Option: GreenPan SearSmart Ceramic Pans
- Best Cast-Iron Option: Lodge Cast-Iron Skillet
- Best Stainless Steel Option: All-Clad Stainless Steel Pot
- Best Enameled Option: Le Creuset Round French Oven
Best Overall: Cuisinart Tri-Ply Stainless Steel Cookware Set
Thousands of Amazon shoppers have given these stainless steel Cuisinart pots and pans a five-star rating for a reason. Along with not having to worry about any harmful chemicals seeping into their food, customers love that the cookware is oven-safe up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit and dishwasher-safe for easy cleanup.
Each piece features Cool Grip handles, so you don’t have to worry about burning yourself, and tapered rims that help prevent unwanted dripping. One reviewer said they are great if you’re “looking for something reliable over the long haul without the risk of toxic non-stick coatings melting into the food. These are great, predictable heat patterns. Clean-up is also easy, just some boiled water and everything loosens off of it. Would recommend to anyone cooking at home regularly for a family.”
Best All-in-One Pan: Our Place Always Pan
This innovative Our Place pan provides the convenience of a nonstick pan without using any harmful chemicals like PFAs, lead, cadmium, toxic metals, and nanoparticles. According to the brand, the all-in-one pan can replace your fry pan, sauté pan, steamer, skillet, saucier, saucepan, nonstick pan, spatula, and spoon rest, as the handy pan can braise, strain, sauté, fry, sear, steam, boil food, and more.Even better, there are 10 colors to choose from, so you shouldn’t have a hard time finding an option that suits your kitchen. “My Always Pan is going to be my new favorite…” wrote one shopper. “Super versatile and absolutely beautiful. Love the functionality that it possesses and the versatility range, someone really thought about all the best ways to cook with this! Safe, easy to clean, and beautiful to look at! Makes you want to cook more delicious meals all day long!”
Best Set: Caraway Cookware Set
Caraway is another new brand that’s developed a non-toxic, Teflon-free nonstick cookware line. | [

Always check the moisture in framing prior to fixing timber panelling or decorative timber-based sheet material. Usually, the panelling will have a lower moisture content when delivered (NZS 3602 requires 16% or less, installed) than the framing. Do not fix panelling immediately after delivery as this differential in moisture content is likely to result in expansion of the panelling and may cause buckling.
Allow time for the panelling to condition. This involves storing the panelling in the room it is to be installed in for sufficient time to allow the moisture content to equalise with the building space. Strip stack the panelling and take moisture readings at regular intervals (a minimum of 2 weeks). Conditioning should not be done while concrete slabs are still drying out as moisture from the concrete will be absorbed.
Visit the BRANZ website (www.branz.co.nz) and refer to Bulletin 380 Timber internal linings for further information.

After three and a half years in Beirut, I’m used to the Syrian kids begging on the streets. Knowing that these kids are exploited and forced to beg by adult gangs makes it a tough call to give money or not. I know that little of the money will actually go to them–and at the same time, I know the stories of small children begging late into the night, forbidden to quit until they meet their quota. And there are worse stories.
So, the kids out begging when they should be in school or out playing or in bed is a familiar sight here (Well, since 2011). What I wasn’t prepared to see was this adult organizing these girls to hit the streets.
There’s a group or two I know of who are trying to help exploited children heal from this trauma, but for the most part nothing is done to prevent it.
“If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea. 7 Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to stumble! Such things must come, but woe to the person through whom they come!

Not quite enough is the appropriate catch phrase for this weekend's weather. Today and tonight's clouds are brought to you by a series of upper level disturbances that are not quite strong enough to kick off any serious precipitation. If it does rain, or snow when it is colder at night, it will be not quite enough to dampen the dry soil. Two storms should move up the coast from the Carolinas over the weekend. They will be close enough to bring us clouds but not quite close enough for a serious rainfall. It is true that the temperatures have increased, but not quite enough to reach the lower-50s, which is normal for this time of year. So, we can expect cloudy conditions with a chance of light rain or snow through the weekend. Monday and Tuesday won't be much warmer, but they will be sunny as a high pressure system moves over us.
Whether we get rain or snow depends on how temperature and humidity vary with elevation in the atmosphere. Gothamist recently found the Precipitation Type applet that Tom Whittaker put online at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The applet lets you specify initial temperature and humidity (wet bulb) conditions at four levels of the atmosphere. If you've chosen the right conditions a cloud forms and precipitation begins. Gothamist has wasted hours trying to simulate all sorts of precipitation types. Right now we've got water droplets turning into snow then turning into rain and snow grains. Fun! Maybe not for everyone, but it is fun for us.

Dr. Bugs: Can plants influence susceptibility to insecticides?
Answer: You ask a great question. The primary mechanism by which plants can affect insect pests susceptibility to insecticides, or influence the toxicity of insecticides to insect pests, is by inducing a high level of activity of metabolic detoxifying enzymes in insect pests because of exposure to plant allelochemicals when feeding.
Plant allelochemicals or secondary metabolites are considered nonessential to plant growth but are responsible for producing plant defensive compounds to avert insect pest feeding. However, insect pests have evolved the ability to metabolize and/or detoxify plant allelochemicals through the induction or activity of certain metabolic detoxifying enzymes.
The variability associated with insect pest susceptibility to insecticides on certain plants is related to different levels of metabolic detoxifying enzymes, which can be induced by the plant. There are a number of enzymes involved in detoxification or metabolism that are active on a diverse array of substances, including naturally occurring plant allelochemicals and insecticides. Insect pest responses to plants may result in enhanced metabolism of insecticides because the mechanisms responsible for the detoxification of plant allelochemicals by insect pests may also be effective in detoxifying insecticides.
Furthermore, the selection pressure affiliated with exposure to plant allelochemicals when insects feed on plants may promote or induce the activity of metabolic detoxifying enzymes. The primary metabolic detoxifying enzymes are cytochrome P450 monooxygenases, glutathione S-transferases and esterases. Cytochrome P450 monooxygenases, glutathione S-transferases and esterases are common enzymes that metabolically detoxify insecticides. These enzymes convert plant allelochemicals and insecticides into non-toxic metabolites. The enzymes remove lipophilic (substances that dissolve in lipids) compounds that may be toxic to insect pests by converting these compounds into metabolites that are excreted or removed from the insect pest body.
In general, esterases detoxify insecticides in the chemical classes, organophosphate and pyrethroid, whereas glutathione S-transferases detoxify organophosphate insecticides. Insect pests that do not possess these metabolic detoxifying enzymes are more susceptible to insecticides. Expression of these metabolic detoxifying enzymes may be induced when insect pests are exposed to plant allelochemicals when feeding on plants, which can decrease the toxicity of insecticides, resulting in fewer individuals being killed.
Insect pests exposed to high concentrations of plant allelochemicals develop resistance to insecticides more rapidly. Furthermore, resistance to insecticides may occur faster or in a shorter time period than resistance to plant allelochemicals. Insect pests with piercingsucking mouthparts — such as aphids — may already have low levels of metabolic detoxifying enzymes due to feeding on a wide range of different horticultural plants. This could increase the exposure of aphids to different plant allelochemicals, thus leading to an increase in insecticide resistance. A consequence of insect pests with inherent metabolic detoxifying enzymes is that higher rates of insecticides may be required to manage populations. In addition, the plant fed upon by insect pests may influence the effectiveness of insecticides. For example, sucking insect pests feed within the vascular tissues [i.e., phloem (food-conducting tissues) and/or xylem (water-conducting tissues)], which may have lower concentrations of plant allelochemicals compared to the leaf tissue (leaf parenchyma cells).
Therefore, sucking insect pests develop resistance at a slower rate than chewing insect pests because of exposure to lower concentrations of plant allelochemicals.
Plants produce a multitude of allelochemicals, which serve as defensive compounds to mitigate attacks from insect pests. Consequently, insect pests exposed to different plant allelochemicals may be less susceptible to insecticides because the metabolic detoxifying enzymes can detoxify or metabolize both the plant allelochemicals and insecticides. However, the selection pressure associated with plant allelochemicals may differ from that of insecticides based on the feeding duration of the insect pest. Generalist insect pests have evolved mechanisms to detoxify a diverse array of plant allelochemicals. As such, generalist insect pests may have a greater propensity than specialist insect pests to detoxify plant allelochemicals due to the presence of multiple metabolic detoxifying enzymes. These same enzymes also allow generalist insect pests to develop resistance to a multitude of insecticides, even those with different modes of action. Therefore, the metabolic detoxifying enzymes that allow insect pests to overcome plant allelochemicals may predispose insect pests to develop insecticide resistance.
Moreover, generalist insect pests feeding on many different plant types may develop resistance to a wide range and classes of insecticides than specialist insect pests due to having a more diverse array of metabolic detoxifying enzymes. Finally, insect pests that feed on a wide range of plants are more likely to develop resistance to | [

Synthesis of new macrocycles. Part II. Cyclic esters based on αα′-dibromo-o-xylen
Condensation of αα′-dibromo-o-xylene with the homologous series of dicarboxylic acids beginning with oxalic acid and ending with sebacic acid afforded dimeric cyclic esters ranging in ring size from sixteen to thirty-two members. By contrast, the dibromide gave only monomeric cyclic esters in reactions with maleic, citraconic, and o-phthalic acids. The influence of the ‘rigid group’ on the cyclization reaction is discussed. N.m.r. and mass spectral data for the new esters are presented and suggestions as to the likely conformations of the alicyclic rings, based largely on the n.m.r. evidence, are considered. | [

Arriving with considerable buzz, “Kong: Skull Island” seems that big budget popcorn entertainer which may get some cash in for its producers Warner Bros, at least on the opening days. The sci-fi movie imagines the origin of the mythic Kong in a compelling, original adventure from director Jordan Vogt-Roberts (“The Kings of Summer”). In the film, a diverse team of explorers is brought together to venture deep into an uncharted island in the Pacific – as beautiful as it is treacherous – unaware that they’re crossing into the domain of the mythic Kong. The thriller has a heavy weight starcast with Tom Hiddleston (“The Avengers,” “Thor: The Dark World”), Samuel L. Jackson (“The Hateful Eight,” “Avengers: Age of Ultron”), Oscar winner Brie Larson (“Room,” “Trainwreck”), John Goodman (“Transformers: Age of Extinction,” “Argo”) and John C. Reilly (“Guardians of the Galaxy,” “Step Brothers”).
Let us check what the reviews have to say about it:
1. Of course, monster fans of a certain age will miss the handmade charms of old-fashioned stop-motion animation – the laborious, artisanal process that brought the first Kong to trembling life. But the effects here are terrific.. – Newark Star Ledger (Thumbs Up)
2. Boiled down to its bonkers essence, Skull Island is a Vietnam war movie with monsters, a retro analog vibe, and a dash of both Moby-Dick and The X-Files. – Flick Filosopher (Thumbs Up)
3. Kong: Skull Island is a fast-paced adrenaline rush that gives us lots of CGI eye candy, lots of thrilling action sequences and scary moments, lots of laughs, and lots of charismatic performers – Forbes (Thumbs Up)
4. It’s hard to say whether it will linger in your memory very long, but it will keep you glued to your seat. Sorry Godzilla, but Kong has the edge for now. – Den Of Geek (Thumbs Up)
5. Scratches your monster-movie itch without ever once providing an injection of unpredictability or eccentricity. It lacks neither fun nor polish, but it has the square tidiness of a compartmentalized fast-food meal. – TheWrap (Thumbs Up)
6. We didn’t come to Kong: Skull Island for the characters (well-developed or otherwise), we came for the damn dirty ape. And director Jordan Vogt-Roberts and Industrial Light and Magic’s Kong is a CGI showstopper. – Entertainment Weekly (Thumbs Up)
7. It’s a film that, somehow, takes the fun out of watching a giant monkey slam-dunk a helicopter into the ground. – Independent UK (Thumbs Down)
8. The Kong remains the same, but director Jordan Vogt-Roberts wrangles a hugely imaginative coterie of new creatures from the lagoon, land and air to both help and hinder (mostly hinder) the luckless homo sapiens. – Radio Times (Thumbs Up)
9. This fantastically muddled and exasperatingly dull quasi-update of the King Kong story looks like a zestless mashup of Jurassic Park, Apocalypse Now and a few exotic visual borrowings from Miss Saigon. – Guardian (Thumbs Down)
10. All the requisite elements are served up here in ideal proportion, and the time just flies by, which can rarely be said for films of this nature. – Hollywood Reporter (Thumbs Up)
11. The surprise is that Skull Island isn’t just ten times as good as Jurassic World; it’s a rousing and smartly crafted primordial-beastie spectacular. – Variety (Thumbs Up)
12. While Kong: Skull Island is let down by some of its cast, characters and scripts, it is still great fun as a crash-bang-wallop monster movie and is well worth seeing. – Daily Express UK (Thumbs Up)
13. Directed by Jordan Vogt-Roberts with a gleeful, look-at-me-ma garishness that speaks to his background in TV comedy, the movie feels wonderfully close to self-parody. – Timeout (Thumbs Up)

Illustrated Encyclopaedia Of World History (8 Vols)
This monumental work is veritable magnum opus in which the Muse of history unfolds?the enthralling story of man?s performance in the Drama of Human Destiny still playing on the vast stage of earth.? It displays the titles of the twelve editorial Divisions and the descriptive names and dates of the 33 chronicles in which ten Eras of general narrative have been divided. History is the slave of fact or else if loses the names of history. It does not enjoy the same literary freedom or flight of fancy as pure literature. Its object is to give a series of true pictures drawn from the infinitely various and wonderful life of man upon earth before our own age. It is a kind of?Rajtarangini? flowing ceaselessly like a river which never looks back. The Illustrated Encyclopaedia of World History (in eight volumes) is unique among the histories of the world. It has been planned and produced as an original world history which profitably explores the immense accumulation of new knowledge and examines the vast complex and examines the vast complex of Earth, Man and Civilisation. Through its narrative we travel down?The corridors of Time? accompanied by scholars who were the then greatest living authority of their subject and who could best interpret to us the spirit of the times through which we pass.The volumes are copiously illustrated which really amplify the text. Though collected in thousands, every picture has some special significance. They have been collected with care, patience, energy and expert knowledge and have passed the security of scholars.It is indeed a matchless work which chronicles the progress of mankind throughout the ages and against a background of social life. Such a priceless work containing a veritable mine of information should be the proud possession.

Snow Rollers. Rare conditions needed for snow rollers to form: Ground must be covered by a layer of ice to which snow will not stick. The layer of ice must be covered by wet, loose snow with a temperature near the melting point of ice. The wind must be strong enough to move the snow rollers;. Alternatively, gravity can move the snow rollers as when the snow falls from a tree, or high structure.The precise nature of the conditions required makes them a very rare phenomenon. | [

When discussing crossovers, keep in mind the term "crossover" isn't exactly accurate. In fact, each driver has a filter, or two, or three, between it and the amp.
A tweeter has a set of filters on it which typically do three things - three filters:
1) one to flatten out the hump in the impedance at the resonant frequency, a form of a notch filter centered onn the impedance resonance.
2) Another to reduce the voltage reaching the tweeter because most tweeters have a higher sensitivity than the rest of the drivers.
3) A high pass filter to limit the voltage reaching the tweeter below a certain frequency.
A midrange usually has two filters, but sometimes three or four:
1) One to limit the voltage above a certain frequency which is being handled by a tweeter.
2) Another to limit the voltage below a certain frequency which is being handled by a woofer.
3) Sometimes a third and forth to flatten the impedance curve to make those high pass and low pass filters work better.
A woofer will often have just one, but sometimes two or three filters:
1) One to limit the voltage above a certain frequency where the midrange (or tweeter) operate.
2) Sometimes an impedance leveler, and sometimes a shelf filter to compensate for the baffle step phenomenon.
A crossover is not one circuit, but a set of filters, each connected to one driver (or identical drivers in parallel) only to affect the voltage reaching each driver.
The description above is for a 3-way or 2-way "crossover".
In a 2.5-way crossover, as was already mentioned, one woofer will act as a mid/woofer and another will be a straight up woofer and not operate in the midrange. Both woofers operate below a certain frequency but only one of them operates up the frequency where the tweeter takes over.
This is accomplished by having three sets of filters:
Tweeter (same as above)
Mid/Woofer (same as above but for a two way speaker)
Woofer (same as above but for a three way speaker system).
In all cases, all of the filters are tuned to work together so the output of each driver compliments the output of the other drivers to get a combined performance as desired by the designer.
Now to the heart of the question that keeps coming up...
What frequency does the woofer driver have it's low pass filter tuned to?
It will vary depending on the needs of the design and goals of the designer.
For maximum output the woofer's crossover might be tuned to coincide with the frequency where the baffle step effect takes place. In other words, above a certain frequency the forward output of the mid/woofer is 6dB SPL louder because the full acoustic wave output is reflected forward versus below that frequency where the output is 6dB SPL quieter due to the acoustic wave wrapping around the cabinet. For a 12" wide speaker baffle, that frequency is around 300Hz. For a 8" wide baffle that frequency is about 425Hz. So, if the baffle is about 12" wide, the low pass filter for the woofer would be well suited to be around 300Hz, or so. For an 8" wide baffle the woofer's low pass filter would be suited to about 425Hz. The net result is a speaker where the output in the midrange sets the overall sensitivity of the entire speakers. Whereas, with a 2 way speaker the output SPL below the baffle step frequency will define the overall sensitivity of the speaker and shelving filter will have to be added to the mid/woofer to lower the output above the baffle step frequency to match the output in the bass.
Pros of this approach?
1) Higher sensitivity
2) Higher max SPL in the midrange and bass
3) Simpler mid/woofer crossover with fewer passive components to muck up the sound
Cons of this approach?
3) Not using a driver specific engineered for the range it operates in (the best speaker for 100Hz performance is not the best speaker for 1,000Hz performance).
4) Phase issues on the woofer's crossover impacting the clarity in the lower midrange or upper bass (depending on the frequency).
Another option is to use the woofer only to drive the deep bass output and extend the bass performance. With sealed speaker, specifically, placing a second woofer in a matching enclosure space below the mid/woofer and putting a low pass filter on it to operate below the -3dB point of the mid/woofer, the output could be extended by as much as 1 octave. So, if the -6dB bass extension with only a mid/woofer is | [

How we make our Gemstone Globes
Gemstone globes are a craft like no other and a wonderful way to have beauty in your space. They’re also a surprisingly accurate way to learn geography. Our vast world is made up of so many beautiful gemstones and shells, harvested from the land and among the seas and oceans. It's wildly fascinating to see where different gemstones come from in indigenous areas around the world. Each semiprecious gemstone represents each individual country on our Kalifano globes and is specifically chosen from their country of origin. Our planet Earth is our home and should be celebrated for all the natural beauty that exists among us.
Due to their handcrafted nature, occasionally a globe is produced with slight geographical or typographical inaccuracies. While we could institute manufacturing procedures to eliminate such errors, we deliberately refrain from making such a move. Our artists at Kalifano strive for perfection, and we encourage their artistry and embrace the occasional idiosyncrasies! A hand-carved gemstone globe will dress up any room at any location. Since they are a very impressive conversation piece, most people’s favorite spots to enjoy their one-of-a-kind gemstone globe are offices, studies, libraries and dens, as well as living rooms, foyers, family great rooms or even bedrooms. Especially popular with world travelers, globes can help you map out your next holiday excursion or business venture.
Semi-Precious Gemstones used in a Gemstone Globe
We source only the highest-quality gemstones, which are placed on the globe according to their origin. Earthy, striped Picture Jasper, which almost looks like wood, makes up both the United States of America and China. Red Jasper is used for Mongolia, and the lustrous Mother-of-Pearl represents Canada and most islands. Turquoise can be found in Turkey, and green Aventurine comes from both India and Brazil. The fun spotted gemstone called Leopard Skin is indigenous to Zimbabwe, and the shimmering Tiger's eye represents Germany. Auspicious Jade comes from France and Burma, with a darker Jade in Russia. Striped Zebra Jasper shows Iran, and a pretty Picasso Jasper is found in Egypt.
Continuing the journey, reconstructed Lapis Lazuli comes from Afghanistan and is the original blue stone that covers most of the entire original Kalifano globe to symbolize our world’s sparkling ocean. A fun spotty Dalmentioner Jasper, which gets its name from its likeness to a spotted dalmatian dog, represents Zambia. Pink Rhodonite comes from Argentina, while the pink and green Jasper known as Unakite originates in the Congo. Light-colored specialty-green Onyx makes up Pakistan, and the rainbow of Abalone shells from the sea represents our friends down under in Australia. Rich Mahogany stones are seen in the country of Saudi Arabia, while the light White Stone shines from the South Pole in Antarctica. Dark-blue Dumortierite also comes from Afghanistan, while the complementary Yellow Jasper originates in Spain. White-marble-like Howlite shows Yemen and Tunisia, Niger is home to Brecciated Jasper, and Tiger Iron can be found in Chad. The sunset-like gem of Mali is known as Mookait.
These are only a few of the many beautiful, unique minerals found on our globes. You’d be surprised at just how many different gemstones can be found around the world.
How a Gemstone Globe is Made
Each of our globes is lovingly made and each gemstone carefully placed. To make each piece, our artists:
- Select natural gemstones. We carefully select only the highest-quality imported gemstones.
- Carve gemstones into shapes of countries. The gemstones are outlined and hand-carved into the shapes of the countries. This process takes countless hours.
- Fill in the opalite oceans. The ocean is formed by soaking the globe in a special mold with a gel composition made up of crushed Mother-of-Pearl, Opal and Abalone to cure and harden them.
- Polish and contour the gemstones. The globe is carefully polished and contoured to give the exterior a smooth, rounded finish in the shape of a sphere. This makes it ready to be labeled with the lettering identifying the oceans, continents, countries and some cities.
- Place 24-karat gold longitude and latitude lines. Each latitude and longitude line is marked using dividers. The lines are hand-placed using 24-karat gold-plated brass ribbons.
- Individually place location names. The country and city names are placed while paying the utmost attention to geographical positioning.
- Finish with a high-gloss polish. The globe is given a final high-gloss polish to | [

HE impression of the condition of the Church of
by the character and writings of Laurence Sterne receives some necessary modification from a study of the life and works of Jane Austen. Her father, the Reverend George Austen, held the two rectories of Deane and Steventon in Hampshire, having been appointed to them by the favor of a cousin and an uncle. He thus belonged to the gentry, and it seems likely that he entered the church more as a profession than a vocation. He considered that he fulfilled his functions by preaching once a week and administering the sacraments; and though he does not seem to have been a man of spiritual gifts, the decent and dignified performance of these formal duties earned him the reputation of a model pastor. His abundant leisure he occupied in farming the rectory acres, educating his children, and sharing the social life of his class. The environment of refined worldliness and good breeding thus indicated was that in which his daughter lived, and which she pictured in her books.
Jane Austen was born at Steventon on December 16, 1775, the youngest of seven children. She received her education-scanty enough, by modern standards—at home. Besides the usual elementary subjects, she learned French and some Italian, sang a little, and became an expert needlewoman. Her reading extended little beyond the literature of the eighteenth century, and within that period she seems to have cared most for the novels of Richardson and Miss Burney, and the poems of Cowper and Crabbe. Dr. Johnson, too, she admired, and later was delighted with both the poetry and prose of Scott. The first twenty-five years of her life she spent at Steventon; in 1801 she moved with her family to Bath, then a great center of | [

The only reason these were implemented was to change things up, and add more playability to the already stagnant system that D2 had going.
That being said the only reason it was stagnant was because the game was what 6 years old at the time?
Bashiok: 3 1/2?
Still, that’s quite a long time in game-years. I mean, it *IS* an exciting feature. Build items that give you other class abilities? Hell yes I’m going to start playing again, that sounds AWESOME. But which abilities were given determined the long-term effects. Also, in their defense, they’re generally very difficult runewords to create under normal circumstances. It’s fairly easy to justify creating some of these things with the idea that only a few people will be running around with these powers.
As it relates to Diablo III, I wouldn’t say “never”, but providing a way to gain access to other class abilities is not something we’re looking to or planning on implementing in the foreseeable future. I think if at some point years after the game is released we need some way to spice things up, honestly it’s one fairly easy way to do it. I also think we have enough knowledge and know how and experience to be able to intelligently control such things. But I would also hope that those smarts could maybe help us find better ways to keep things interesting.
Removing such oskills, or at least the overpowered ones like teleport on Enigma, was one of the top (unfulfilled) player requests for the v1.13 patch, and Bashiok’s comment here provides some insight into the reasoning of the Legacy Support Team. Clearly they think the oskills add variety and some freshness to an old game, and that’s worth the corruption of gameplay and the prevalant, “must have Enigma or you’re helpless at MF’ing or PvP” attitude on the realms these days.
On the larger issue going forward into D3, what do you guys think? Can items that grant other char’s skills be a useful game feature? Or will they always be 1) useful skills and thus overpowered and game-changing, or 2) minor skills and thus irrelevant and ignored? After all, hardly anyone bothered to carry SpellSteel or rare amulets just for their Teleport charges. It wasn’t until Enigma armor with unlimited Teleport (and other good mods) that the gameplay was radically altered. | [

We have a tool at work, Kaseya, for our Windows machines. It handles updates, but also can report back information gathered from them: OS version, patches installed, time since last checkin, last user logged in, user most frequently logged in, plus details about hardware: RAM, disk size, serial number, etc. I’m looking for a tool that can do this on Linux as well.
Of course, we could roll our own; all the above is readily cleaned from standard commands plus examining /proc and /sys. But before we roll our own, we want to be sure there’s nothing else out there worth using.
Down the road, we might also like it to grow in another direction: centralized configuration, storing links between machines and people in a database, and generating DNS, DHCP, etc. configurations out of it. Whether that would be the same tool as this is another question.
There are, of course, expensive and overkilling well-known commercial packages to do this. We’re after something simple that gets the job done. | [

Outline Abiotic element in Biology is thought to be among many ideal biology books that has been published from the recent decades
Mcdougal, Hans Selye, has transformed this book into a text that was favorite, and it is therefore among the most highly advocated biology books in the marketplace. Nevertheless, the question why this novel was highly recommendable at the first place nevertheless custom writings continues to be unanswered. Inside this informative article, we’ll see what exactly makes this book worth reading.
The initial thing you need to know about it book is the fact that the book defines Abiotic Factor in Biology as truly being a explanation for this relationship between its environment and life. The notion of an Abiotic Factor at Biology deals with all the notion of surroundings or space that’s full of life. This publication explains how a genetic principles of living organisms are extracted at distance that is various, as well as the task varies having its own space.
From Abiotic Factor in Biology’s definition, the idea of space is already discussed. This book’s principal notion is that distance is thought to become the arena. And, according to this concept, life thrives and comes into existence, not. Because life exists about the distance occupied because of it, So, according to this particular concept, the concept of atmosphere isn’t essential in creating life.
At the second portion of the definition of Abiotic element in Biology,” Hans Selye elaborates the concept of living at a distance, and also just existing on this room. Based on the theory, it isn’t also the organisms that exist and also the space.
From the third region of the definition of Abiotic Factor in Biology, Selye points out how might be classified as bodily. You’ll find various kinds of facets that could be categorized as physical, plus they comprise acidity, temperature, gravity, and also the electromagnetic pressure.
The fourth area of this is of Abiotic element in Biology would be its relationship with the environment, also the notion of distance. This chapter explains the association between your distance and also the environmental surroundings. It also shows how distance influences the ability of lifetime to rise, and also how the distance impacts your human body of lifetime.
From the part of the definition of Abiotic element in Biology,” Selye elaborates the biological concept that there’s also the accumulation of vitality, and a series of cycles for its accumulation of power and the functioning of these procedures of metabolic rate. He supplies proof for his theory.
The last part of the definition of Abiotic aspect in Biology,” and as a result, the main part, is the idea of surroundings, distance, and mathematics. This chapter points out by what method the interaction between these 2 things are important in the growth of lifetime and because of its survival, and the method by which a cycle and atmosphere interact. This chapter’s consequence is the forces which influence the change of its environment and life are of a physiological character. | [

Nola.com reports that an 18-year-old girl died in a two-vehicle crash on a Louisiana highway. Louisiana State Police say the girl was driving on LA Highway 964 shortly before 7 a.m. when the accident occurred.
Police say she reached the right-hand curve in the road and crossed the centerline. The car slid sideways and crashed into a pickup truck travelling in the opposite direction.
The victim was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash, and the force of the impact ejected her from the vehicle. The driver of the other vehicle involved in the crash was strapped in and did not sustain injuries. Police are still investigating the incident; however, they do not suspect either driver of being under the influence of alcohol or drugs at the time of the crash.

Man with Gunshot Wound Crashes into School Bus
The New Orleans Advocate reports that a man with gunshot wounds crashed his car into a school bus. The SUV he was driving then rolled and came to a stop nearby.
An eyewitness on the scene says he saw the car on its roof, with the driver stuck halfway out of the sunroof. Emergency workers were on the scene and attended to the victims. They transported the driver and a passenger to a nearby hospital for treatment. Medics say the two victims were in stable condition.
Police say the vehicle crashed into a moped and a fire hydrant. This launched the car into the air before it crashed into a large SUV and eventually a school bus. The vehicle ended up on its roof on a nearby fence.
Police are still investigating the incident. They believe the driver of the car was involved in a robbery further up the road and was speeding away to avoid the gunfire when it crashed.
Louisiana Traffic Deaths Higher than Average
Louisiana has a higher than average traffic-related fatality rate compared to the rest of the country. According to research, there were 15.63 fatalities per 100,000 people on Louisiana roads in 2010.
This is the equivalent of 633 fatal car accidents, which caused 710 fatalities. Almost one-third of all Louisiana accidents involved a driver who was under the influence of alcohol.

Getting Familiar with the Complications of ACDF Surgery
Every other surgery or procedure carries several risks and complications. But, even if the risk is low for some surgeries, you should not overlook the minute chances of developing serious complications. Here we’ve discussed the complications of anterior cervical discectomy and fusion surgery. Keep reading to learn the same.
Book free consulting session with HealthTrip expert
Why do you need to undergo ACDF surgery?
Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion are usually recommended for patients who have cervical spondylosis or disc herniation with myelopathy/radiculopathy that is
unresponsive to conservative therapy. Additionally, it may be indicated in certain malignant, traumatic, or infectious processes of the cervical vertebrae that cause instability.
How is ACDF surgery done?
The procedure is performed through an anterolateral neck incision, with the surgical approach passing medially between the aerodigestive tract (trachea, esophagus, pharyngeal muscles) and laterally between the carotid neurovascular bundle (carotid artery, internal jugular vein, vagus nerve).
The intervertebral disc and the fibrocartilage covering the adjacent vertebral endplates are then removed (to allow for eventual osseous fusion). Reaching back to the posterior longitudinal ligament, removing osteophytes and disc protrusions as well as extending laterally to decompress the neural exit foramina, is possible.
Following decompression, an interbody spacer of some kind is introduced to aid fusion/improve stability.
After that, an anterior cervical plate with screws that pass into the vertebral bodies above and below the operative segment is typically used to provide additional stability.
Newer devices combine screw fixation and interbody spacing into a single device that fits entirely within the interbody space and does not require the added bulk of the anterior plate.

What are the complications associated with ACDF surgery?
As per our spine surgeon, the following are the complications associated with ACDF surgery.
- Hemorrhage or wound hematoma formation
- Damage to the carotid or vertebral artery can cause a stroke, excessive bleeding, and even death.
- Hoarseness is caused by damage to the recurrent laryngeal nerve.
- Damage to the superior laryngeal nerve causes swallowing problems.
- Infection caused by esophageal or tracheal damage
- Dura damage causes a cerebrospinal fluid leak or a pocket of cerebral spinal fluid beneath the incision
- Mechanical graft and plate complications (including graft migration, breakage of the plate, screw pullout, etc.)
- Infection of the wound
- Painful pseudoarthrosis develops (failure of adequate fusion to occur)
- Spinal cord or nerve root(s) damaged resulting in pain, weakness, paralysis, loss of sensation, loss of bowel or bladder function, and impaired sexual function
Post-operative care for ACDF surgery:
- The lateral cervical radiograph is a common way to assess prevertebral soft tissue swelling after such surgery.
- Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are contraindicated because they inhibit bone formation, which is required for the fusion to take hold. The same is true for all tobacco products.
- External bone stimulators could theoretically be used to aid fusion formation in selected patients who are at high risk of poor fusion.
- The spine surgeon may prescribe a cervical collar for a specific period to aid in postoperative healing and avoid extremes of neck range of motion. The spine surgeon will also advise the patient on specific lifting and activity restrictions during the post-op period.

Lightning deaths down as people are learning to get to safety at first signs of bad weather
By Staff and wire reports
Of The Morning Call|
Aug 17, 2017 at 9:15 PM
If you hear thunder lightning could be close enough to strike.
HEIDELBERG TOWNSHIP — With the sky growing dark and a dangerous storm coming quickly last year, park rangers at Beltzville State Park in southern Carbon County got on loudspeakers to warn swimmers to get out of the lake so the park could close for everyone's safety.
Many of the 3,000 visitors to the popular swimming spot had already left the park on the muggy summer day, but three swimmers were not so lucky.
A bolt of lightning crashed down on the lake — one of several ground strikes in the area Aug. 13, 2016 — killing one swimmer and injuring two others.
Lightning strikes, once one of nature's biggest killers, are claiming far fewer lives in the United States, mostly because people have learned to get out of the way.
In the 1940s, when there were fewer people, lightning killed more than 300 people annually. So far this year, 13 people have died after being struck, on pace for a record-low 17 deaths. Taking the growing population into account, the lightning death rate has shrunk more than 40-fold since record-keeping began in 1940.
The death at Beltzville was one of 39 all of last year, according to the National Weather Service. Before that, the last fatal lightning strike in the Lehigh Valley region happened in 2012 when a man was killed and nine others injured at the Pennsylvania 400 NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Pocono Raceway.
Our victims are at the wrong place at the wrong time
Lightning strikes have not changed — they hit about as often as they always have, Penn State University meteorology professor Paul Markowski said.
A big difference: Fewer of us are outside during bad weather. If we're not huddled indoors, we're often in cars. Vehicles with metal roofs — not convertibles — are safe from lightning, experts say.
"As a society we spend less time outside," said Harold Brooks, a scientist at the National Weather Service's National Severe Storms Laboratory. "Especially farmers. There aren't just many farmers around."
Decades ago, farmers would be in fields and were the tallest object, making them most likely to get hit, National Weather Service lightning safety specialist John Jensenius Jr. said.
When bad weather is looming before the start of a ball game at Allentown's Coca-Cola Park, umpires and grounds crews aren't the only ones looking out. Team officials are closely tracking radar and lightning strikes, according to Kurt Landes, president and general manager of the Lehigh Valley IronPigs.
"There have been times where we'll open our gates early or late to better ensure our guests' safety," he said. "Or we've also made public address announcements asking fans to head to cover on our concourse due to an approaching storm if we have any reason to believe strong winds, lightning or other dangerous effects are present with it."
That helps explain the drop in yearly lightning deaths from about 329 in the 1940s to about 98 in the 1970s. The numbers have kept plunging. From 2007-2016, average yearly deaths dropped to 31.
Improved medical care also has played a key role, including wider use of defibrillators and more CPR-trained bystanders.
When Dr. Mary Ann Cooper started working in an emergency room in the 1970s, there was nothing in textbooks about how to treat lightning victims.
Now, instead of treating lightning patients the same way as people who touch high-voltage wires and are burned, doctors focus more on the neurological damage, said Cooper, professor emerita of emergency medicine at the University of Illinois in Chicago.
Perhaps the biggest reason deaths are down is because of efforts to teach people not to get hit.
"We've equipped the public by saying, 'When thunder roars, go indoors.' Three-year-olds can remember that," Cooper said.
Since the Beltzville State Park lightning tragedy, rangers at the state's 121 parks continue to follow precautions of alerting swimmers by loudspeaker and closing the parks if there is the threat of dangerous weather, according to Terry Brady, spokesman for the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources.
"If a bad storm is coming, they will clear the pool," Brady said. "We have a constant vigilance."
Sometimes that is not enough, he warned. Last year's fatal strike happened just seconds after the warning was issued when park rangers spotted bad weather speeding toward them.
Smartphone weather apps that feature severe weather warnings also have played a role in keeping people alert before lightning strikes, the IronPigs' Landes said.

The energy needs of humans have been ever growing since we found electricity. It is never enough electricity on planet earth. Most of the countries resort to thermal energy which is generated via burning coal and gases. A lot of countries also depend on the renewable source of energy which is generating hydroelectricity, solar electricity and even generating electricity via wind. There are 17 countries in total which also generate electricity using nuclear power. Now, this is a comparatively cheap way to generate electricity and it is also a cleaner way to generate electricity.
You might already be aware of the fact that that the nuclear fuel last for years before there is a need to replace the nuclear fuel rods. This is certainly a big advantage of using nuclear energy. In addition to this, there are many other advantages. But just like a coin, nuclear energy also has certain disadvantages. In this article, we are going to talk about the advantages as well as the disadvantages of nuclear energy. So, let us get started and check out all the details.
We will start with the benefits of nuclear energy and in the later part of the article, we are going to talk about the disadvantages of nuclear energy.
Advantages of Nuclear Energy
1. Unlimited Source of Energy
Nuclear power uses uranium and the fact is that it is the unlimited source of energy. Often, nuclear energy is referred to as a renewable source of energy because of the fact that the reactor doesn’t have to be refuelled every now and then. In addition to this, the nuclear fuel serves for many years before there is a need for replacing the nuclear rods in the reactor. Whereas, in a thermal power plant, you need a constant supply of coal and gas to keep the furnace
2. Less Expensive
Nuclear energy is less expensive when we compare it to the traditional thermal energy. While generating nuclear energy, you just need to procure uranium once and then the fuel is sufficient for years. While using thermal energy, you need to procure the raw material on a weekly basis and you also need to maintain a stock of the raw material. This increases the cost of thermal
3. Highly Reliable
Nuclear energy is also very reliable. Once the reaction reaches the critical phase and once the electricity generation is started, the reaction can go on for 2 years without the need of stopping the reaction or without the need of replacing the fuel. This is the reason why nuclear energy is considered to be a reliable and renewable source of energy.
4. No Green House Emission
In the nuclear reactor, water is used to generate steam with the help of the heat generated by the reactor. This steam then rotates the turbines to generate electricity. There is no emission of the greenhouse gases at all. Whereas in thermal energy, there is a generation of many harmful gases and solid residue including fine soot particles which are very harmful.
5. High Energy Density
It is believed that the nuclear fuel generates high-density This means that nuclear energy generates 10 million times more energy when compared to coal of similar weight. This is another factor why nuclear energy is more efficient than any other power plant operating in the world. Because of high energy density, the fuel can be used for a long time.
These were the advantages of nuclear energy. There are several other advantages but these were the most impactful ones.
Let us now talk about the disadvantages of nuclear energy.
Disadvantages of Nuclear Energy
1. Water Pollution
There are two types of reactors for generating nuclear energy. Both these reactors use water as a coolant. In one of the reactor, water stays outside the reaction chamber and hence there is no pollution but in the second type of reactor, the water gets contaminated. There are some countries which are still using the second type of reactor and they can really harm the ecosystem and the environment.
2. Uranium Procurement
While nuclear energy is considered to be the clean source of energy, the fact is that the procurement process of uranium isn’t very clean. The uranium needs to be mined and because of the radioactive nature of uranium, their workers are put at the health risk as well.
3. Waste Material
The waste material generated after the fuel rods have depleted is quite less in terms of volume but the fact is that the waste material is highly radioactive. It needs to be stored carefully and it needs to be disposed of even more carefully. We are still not able to find a way to dispose of the waste material in a way where it would not be radioactive anymore.
4. Prone to Accidents
Nuclear reactors have become really safe but accidents do happen. The recent example can be of the nuclear reactor in Japan which met an unfortunate fate after being hit by the tsunami. The cooling systems failed and that caused the core to melt down. This meltdown caused a lot of nuclear pollution and it has led to a high impact on the surrounding ecosystem.
5. Initial Setup Cost
The setup cost of a nuclear reactor is much higher than a thermal power plant. In | [
