Pennsylvania’s state barriers won’t stop this community from improving Internet service for its municipal facilities, residents, and businesses. The City of Lancaster is collaborating with private provider MAW Communications to ensure the community has next-generation technology. Their public-private partnership, LanCity Connect, will offer affordable 1 gigabit (1,000 Megabits per second) service over a new Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) network.
Shared Risk, Public Financing
The Lancaster Online has closely followed the development of the partnership from a 2015 Wi-Fi project between the partners to the current citywide fiber plan. Here's a quick summary of the basic framework of the partnership:
MAW Communications originally built a $1.7 million fiber backbone starting in 2015 with financing from the city's water fund bond. The city had refinanced its water utility debt, saving some $7.8 million and they worked out an agreement with MAW where the private partner would deploy and own a backbone fiber network. Over the 20 year term of the deal, the city has the right to half the network for city services, including automatic meter reading (AMR) and a traffic control system, with the city being able to renew the deal for four additional terms. Officials have said this arrangement will not impact water rates.
MAW Communications will extend the network to premises, aided by a $1.5 million loan with a 7 percent interest rate from the city's general fund reserves. The provider will repay the loan over a 13 year period. As long as MAW Communications has an outstanding loan to the city, the provider cannot sell the network without the city's written approval. Though the loan will help MAW to begin building the network, the costs of connecting homes and businesses would still be prohibitive at $1,000 each if not for another element of the plan.
The city developed a creative way to spread that $1,000... Read more | [

NASA Administrator Charles Bolden sealed agreements with dual European partners to allege Mars scrutiny and a tour to a Red Planet during meetings Tuesday during a Paris Air Show.
Bolden and Jean-Yves Le Gall, boss of a French space agency, Centre National d’Etudes Spatiales (CNES), sealed an agreement for France to yield a pillar for a SuperCam member of NASA’s Mars 2020 rover.
In terms of design, SuperCam is identical to a ChemCam on a Curiosity rover, that is now traversing a aspect of Mars. ChemCam analyzes rocks and dirt to establish their compositions and brand samples for research by other instruments onboard Curiosity. SuperCam, however, will have significantly extended capabilities, versed with 4 systematic instruments that will concede it to demeanour for biosignatures – indicators of a past participation of life — and brand samples for collection and probable lapse to Earth.
“I’m gay that a prolonged time partners CNES will join us on a subsequent step in a tour to Mars,” Bolden said, “We’re paving a approach for humans to revisit a Red Planet and operative to answer one of a pivotal questions for all humanity: has there ever been life elsewhere?”
Bolden also sealed an agreement that extends team-work with Spain on a Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity rover, a NASA InSight goal that will launch subsequent year to investigate a core of Mars, and a Mars 2020 rover. Bolden and Francisco Marín Pérez, executive ubiquitous of a Center for a Development of Industrial Technology of Spain (CDTI), and Ignacio Azqueta Ortiz, executive ubiquitous of a National Institute for Aerospace Technology of Spain (INTA) finalized a agreement.
The NASA-CDTI-INTA agreement continues operation and coordination of a Remote Environmental Monitoring Station (REMS) instrument apartment and a High Gain Antenna (HGA) subsystem now on a Curiosity rover. REMS provides critical information on Mars’ weather, while a HGA provides an critical communications couple for transmitting information from a mission. Spain will yield a HGA subsytem for a Mars 2020 rover, as well. For a InSight lander, Spain will yield a apartment of sensors called Temperature and Wind on InSight (TWINS).
Through other agreements in development, Spain also will supply a Mars 2020 corsair with a Mars Environmental Dynamics Analyzer (MEDA) instrument apartment and calibration targets for a SuperCam.
“NASA is unapproachable to continue a clever partnership with Spain that is already producing extraordinary formula on Mars,” Bolden said. “We demeanour brazen to this subsequent proviso of a partnership and a resources of information about Mars, a subsequent end for tellurian exploration.” | [

IMAGE MD Restoring Youth Serum, $$. The fish bones and skin are especially rich in collagen. Once you find the right cream or serum for you, Dr. Robinson recommends applying it to clean skin twice daily, under makeup and SPF. Here’s how peptides help your aging skin: In a double-blind clinical study, researchers studied 20 women between the ages of 40 and 62 years. As the name suggests, these peptides usually send signals to the skin to boost the production of elastin, collagen, and any other protein that the skin might need to stay fresh and young. Let’s explore this in detail. The key ingredient of this serum is Matrixyl 3000, which plumps up your skin and boosts collagen production. Discover the many benefits of peptides including weight loss, skin, and libido treatments. However, only a few are used for skin care. However, this peptide only works on the wrinkles formed by the expression lines and not the ones caused by pollution, sun exposure, and other factors (2). Ep 31 - The Peptide Perspective (feat. A blend of palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 and palmitoyl oligopeptide also improves the extracellular matrix structure (a network of extracellular macromolecules including glycoproteins, enzymes, and collagen that supports the cells) (2). For example, carrier peptides deliver trace minerals to the skin to boost collagen, while enzyme inhibitor peptides work to slow down the skin’s natural breakdown of collagen. In addition to argireline, the serum features ultra-moisturizing sodium hyaluronate, able to hold 1000 times its weight in water, along with other nourishing ingredients from olives and rice bran wax. You do not want to apply a product to your skin and then find out that something is wrong. “Peptides are strings of amino acids, which are the building blocks that make up proteins in our body, including collagen in the skin,” explains Dr. Whitney Bowe, renowned New York City–based dermatologist and author. StyleCraze believes in credibility and giving our readers access to authentic and evidence-based content. Just be careful as dairy consumption can cause inflammation. These are rich sources of dietary peptides. Peptides are composed of chains of amino acids that serve as building blocks of protein in the skin. Strengthens skin barrier: When peptides help amp up your skin cells, they may also help improve your skin … Soybean and many other beans contain peptides that are associated with numerous health benefits. Alisha Racker’s beauty career has spanned over a decade, beginning in the treatment room as a master esthetician, then onto the corporate world, working in PR for high-end skin care brands. Chains of fewer than ten or fifteen amino acids are called oligopeptides, and include dipeptides, tripeptides, and tetrapeptides.. A polypeptide is a longer, continuous, unbranched peptide … It has a moisture-binding formula that keeps your skin hydrated and plump. Their primary activities in skin include modulation of collagen, elastin, and melanin synthesis (2) and broad-spectrum antimicrobial activities (3). It’s a go-to moisturizer for a large range of women and men, including those with sensitive, dry and acne-prone skin. If you are wondering why this information is important, read on. Ramona is a journalist-turned-content writer. The Best Peptide-Infused Skin Care Products. There are about hundreds of peptides out there. This is a group of enzymes that break down collagen when it develops rapidly (2). Tata Harper Crème Riche Anti-Aging Peptide Night Cream, $$$. Single-use promo will be sent via email. StyleCraze provides content of general nature that is designed for informational purposes only. What Are Peptides? If we are deficient in them, our body cannot function,” says Dr. Robinson. The “transformation” comes from a patented balance of not only peptides but also alpha hydroxy acid, aloe vera, hyaluronic acid and antioxidants. Peptides have been dubbed as one of the critical breakthroughs in skin care. The most commonly used peptide in skin care is Matrixyl (palmitoyl- or oligopeptide pentapeptide). Known for its wound-healing powers, copper tripeptide is released naturally in the body during an injury, making it a perfect regenerating compound to be utilized in the skin. Bioactive peptides are short sequences of 2-50 amino acids derived from some of the major extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins in skin (1, 2). Aside from topical products, incorporating collagen-rich foods like bone broth, and adding a reputable collagen supplement to your diet, can also work wonders for your skin. In two separate studies, each examining the anti-wrinkle and anti-sagging effects of Trifluoroacetyl-tripeptide-2, it was found that this peptide improved skin firmness and elasticity and reduced skin sagging ( | [

Anyone with access to modern technology or magazines is sure to have heard a plethora of information regarding different anti-aging treatments. However, this information is often directed towards women and their appearance as they get older. That is until recently. Over the past few years, Facial Aesthetics and Anti-Aging researchers and product developers have begun to learn more towards possible male clientele. Believe it or not, Botox is quickly becoming the go-to treatment for men who are looking to slow down the aging process.
Is There a Difference Between Male and Female Botox Treatments?
Although the majority of anti-aging treatments and procedures are the same for both men and women, the way in which they are applied are quite different. This is because men have a different body and tissue structure than women do. For men, Botox must be administered while taking the male facial features and composition into consideration. Examples of these differences include the fact that men tend to have thicker and stronger facial muscles. This explains why men need to have higher dosages than women to achieve the same results.
In What Areas of the Face Can Men Expect to See the Most Noticeable Difference?
When men decide to start getting Botox treatments, they generally decide to do it in the space right between his eyebrows, in the forehead to reduce wrinkles, and around the corners of the eyes. Now, as with any medical treatment, it is critical that interested patients find a highly qualified professional to do the treatment. While there are many ways to slow the aging process, Botox still remains one of the most popular and least invasive anti-aging treatments to the face. An added bonus to having Botox is that it also has no downtime at all.
How Can You Best Prepare for a Botox Treatment?
Before the actual Botox procedure takes place, it is best to consult with a qualified and highly experienced healthcare professional such as a doctor or nurse injector. They will be able to confirm which areas of your face you want to focus on, as well as what type of results and recovery time you can expect. Your injector will then be able to calculate the accurate dosage and also suggest any alternative or additional therapies that may work to enhance the end results to help you get the look that you desire.
You may notice immediately after the procedure some areas of your face will look red from the treatment, however it will resolve within a few minutes. Results begin to show within 3 to 5 days and full results are seen after 10 to 14 days.
Trained and qualified injectors who administer Botox are knowledgeable of the expectations and unique physical characteristics of the male facial structure. The best results come from professionals that have a number of years worth of hands-on experience, as well as a deep understanding of how the procedure works to reduce lines and wrinkles. | [

Biznextindia :A a long gap of 4 years, the Ministry of Coal has approved the allocation of five Coal Mines. While, Aditya Birla group has bagged Bikram and Brahmapuri Coal blocks of MadhyaPradesh, Vedanta has been allocated the Jamkhani Coal Block of Odisha. The other two blocks Bhaskarpara (Chattishgarh) and Jagannath B (West Bengal) has been allocated to Prakash Industries and Powerplus Traders (P) Ltd.
The Ministry had conducted e-auction for allocation of these Coal blocks in the first week of November. The Ministry had initiated the auction processes for 27 coal mines for Non-Regulated sectors previously.
One important feature of these allocations is that the successful bidders can sell 25% of the Coal produced from these blocks in the open market.
“The significant feature of the allocations is that for the first time, the successful bidders shall have the flexibility to sell 25% coal produced in the open market. This will boost the coal production in the country and reduce the dependence of industries on imported coal. It is also envisaged that this step will generate huge revenue for State Governments where the mines are located in the form of Upfront Amount, Royalties and other applicable taxes” said Coal India. | [

Dating facts relationships
Rachel Needle, Licensed Psychologist and Certified Sex Therapist, tells Bustle.
"Many couples struggle with trying to keep the passion alive in their relationship.
"This can be extremely challenging in a romantic relationship, when aspects of someone’s personality or lifestyle get under your skin." It's OK to be annoyed by your long-term partner from time to time — just remember not to dwell too much on the day-to-day irritations and always appreciate the things you love about your partner.
If you've never been in a long-term relationship, you probably cringe at the thought of your hypothetical partner seeing you during "gross" moments.
This allows a couple to move forward daily with a fresh slate.
However, being aware of the temptation allows you to keep your guard up and fight it."" — but being occasionally bored in your relationship isn't always a bad sign."The biggest'secret' no one ever tells you about long-term relationships is that the relationship is mostly boring," Bennett says. It’s just important to realize that the excitement and raw passion of the early 'in love' phase will fade to a degree.
) — and I have to admit, it's a super comforting feeling to always rainbows and butterflies, no matter how much you and your partner love each other. | [

Nordic boiling water reactor (BWR) design employs ex-vessel debris coolability in a deep pool of water as a severe accident management (SAM) strategy. Depending on melt release conditions from the vessel and core–melt coolant interactions, containment integrity can be threatened by: (i) formation of noncoolable debris bed or (ii) energetic steam explosion. Melt is released from the vessel affect ex-vessel phenomena and is recognized as the major source of uncertainty. The risk-oriented accident analysis methodology (ROAAM+) is used for quantification of the risk of containment failure in Nordic BWR where melt ejection mode surrogate model (MEM SM) provides initial conditions for the analysis of debris agglomeration and ex-vessel steam explosion which determine the respective loads on the containment. Melt ejection SM is based on the system analysis code methods for estimation of leakages and consequences of releases (computer code) (MELCOR). Modeling of vessel failure and melt release from the vessel in MELCOR is based on parametric models, allowing a user to select different assumptions that effectively control lower head (LH) behavior and melt release. The work addresses the effect of epistemic uncertain parameters and modeling assumptions in MEM SM on the containment loads due to ex-vessel steam explosion in Nordic BWR. Sensitivity and uncertainty analysis performed to identify the most influential parameters and uncertainty in the risk of containment failure due to ex-vessel steam explosion. The results of the analysis provide valuable insights regarding the effect of MELCOR models, modeling parameters, and sensitivity coefficients on melt release conditions and predictions of ex-vessel steam explosion loads on the containment structures. | [

Mount Shasta (California) has erupted, on the average, at least once per 800 years during the last 10,000 years, and about once per 600 years during the last 4,500 years.
The eruptive history of Mount St. Helens (Washington) began about 40,000 years ago with dacitic volcanism, which continued intermittently until about 2,500 years ago.
Eruptions of Mount Rainier usually produce much less volcanic ash than do eruptions at
Igneous rocks (from the Greek word for fire) form from when hot, molten rock (magma) crystallizes and solidifies.
Volcanoes that produced exceedingly voluminous pyroclastic eruptions and formed large calderas in the past 2 million years would include Yellowstone, Long Valley in eastern California, Toba in Indonesia, and Taupo in New Zealand.
Over the long term and geologic time, volcanic eruptions and related processes have directly and indirectly benefited mankind.
The major peaks in the US part of the Cascade Range are (from north to south) Mount Baker, Glacier Peak, Mount Rainier, Mount St.

THE R240 road in Inishowen where a bridge collapsed during last night’s devastating flooding will remain closed for several weeks.
The bridge on the stretch between Quigley’s Point and Carndonagh is beyond repair and a new one will have to be constructed Donegal County Council has now confirmed.
Meanwhile the Cockhill Bridge in Buncrana which was shut as swollen waters threatened to engulf it is due to reopen shortly. Work has been ongoing all day to restore it to normal service and according to Donegal County Council, it should reopen in the next few hours.
A spokesperson for the local authority said that its staff were working hard to assist those impacted by the torrential downpours.
“North Donegal experienced very heavy rainfall last night resulting in extensive flooding on our roads,” said a spokesperson.
“Driving conditions were very difficult and many roads had to be closed temporarily. The Inishowen Peninsula was the worst hit with widespread road closures and properties flooded. Since the rain stopped overnight the Council’s roads staff have been taking stock of the damage.
“Two bridges have been completely washed away either side of Quigley’s Point on the R238 and the R240. The Cockhill Bridge has been closed (R238 north of Buncrana) as has the local road from Drumfree (North Pole Pub) to Clonmany however it is expected that both of these will reopen shortly following some clean up works.
“Council staff are working to get one operational lane repaired on the R238 between Quigley’s Point and Muff and it is hoped to reopen this road with traffic lights. In the meantime a short local diversion is in place. This diversion is not suitable for HGVs or large volumes of traffic so motorists travelling to north Inishowen are advised to travel via Buncrana until further notice.
“The R240 between Quigley’s Point and Carndonagh at the Riverside Pub will need a new bridge constructed and is likely to remain closed for a number of weeks at least.
“Reports are also just coming in of a bridge collapse on the R244 between Carndonagh and Drumfree approx three miles from Carndonagh. Further updates will be made available,” they added.
Road users are being asked to take extreme care when out and about today and members of the public who require assistance including emergency accommodation should contact the Council on 074 91 53900 or out of hours at 074 91 72399. | [

New plans have been filed for a four-story mixed-use infill at 5617 Elvas Avenue in the affluent East Sacramento neighborhood. The proposal will replace a vacant plot of land with thirty new homes and retail by the CSU Sacramento Campus. HK3 Development is responsible for the application.
The 52-foot tall structure will yield around 22,140 square feet with 2,790 square feet for retail, 900 square feet for two live/work spaces, surface parking for 11 cars, and storage for 18 bicycles. Unit sizes will vary between studios to one bedrooms.
Ellis Architects is responsible for the design. The white stucco podium-style exterior will conform to the triangular 0.32-acre site, punctuated with private balconies and terracotta veneer hues. Facade materials will include stucco, fiber cement siding, surface-bonded brick, and metal panels.
The project will replace a vacant parcel in the residential neighborhood close to the California State University of Sacramento Campus along the American River. The Gold Light Rail station is just under ten minutes away by bicycle. An estimated cost and timeline for construction has not yet been established.

Former Red Devil and current Lionesses boss, Phil Neville will return to his old stomping ground after it was added to the tournament’s schedule
It becomes the fourth Premier League ground to be added to the tournament’s list of venues, which also includes Wembley, the venue for the final on Sunday, August 1.
The 43-year-old, who took charge of the Lionesses in January 2018, played almost 400 games across 11 seasons for United, having come through their academy to make his senior debut in 1994.
“It doesn’t get much bigger than managing your country at a home Euros and to have the opportunity to do so at a stadium that holds so many memories for me is huge,” Neville said.
“Old Trafford has a special place in my heart, but it is also one of the country’s most iconic football grounds, so today’s announcement is a significant one for the tournament.
“I’m looking forward to kicking off our campaign in Manchester and to offering fans across the country the chance to watch the elite women’s game on home turf next summer.”
That opening game could prove to be a record-breaking one, with the 74,879 capacity venue offering a chance to surpass the highest ever attendance at a Women’s Euros straight away.
Nadine Kessler was among the players who lifted the trophy that day and, now UEFA’s Head of Women’s Football, she is excited about the addition of another huge stadium to next year’s tournament.
“This UEFA Women’s EURO 2021 will be ground-breaking from start to finish. To kick-off at the ‘Theatre of Dreams’ in Manchester, and to have the final at the iconic Wembley Stadium shows just how far the game has come,” she said.
“This is what women’s football deserves. To play in such stadia is what you strive for – as a player, coach, referee and a fan. I am so happy for everyone who will have the opportunity to experience this.
“Our goal is to deliver a memorable tournament and inspire the next generation of football-loving girls and boys.
“Knowing the FA and England’s long-term commitment to the women’s game, we have no doubt that we will achieve this together and set a new European benchmark.” | [

Joseph Hubertus Pilates was born in 1880 in Germany, near Duesseldorf. Mildly asthmatic and with a slender body, was initiated from an early age to bodybuilding, which he practiced with such a commitment to be called to sit for the realization of anatomical plates when he was only 14 years old.
The study of anatomy, of muscle development and the practice of many sports became later on subject of study and part of his youth during his stay in Germany.
He moved to England in 1912, began his career as a self-defense instructor for the local police school, while practicing boxing and acrobatic activities in the circus nearby.
At the outbreak of World War I, JH Pilates was interned for a year, with other compatriots, in a prison camp in Lancaster, where he refined his skills by organizing his own and of hiw fellow prisoners training. A very effective training indeed, as none of his pupils contracted the epidemic flu that in 1918 killed thousands of Britons.
Probably thanks to this success, Joseph was later on transferred by the British authorities on the Isle of Man where he found himself having to “rebuild” soldiers maimed by war wounds, bedridden by diseases, and immobilized for a long time.
It goes back to that time the design and construction of the first machines for rehabilitaion. Something that he continued to do once he returned to Germany in the early twenties.
Subsequently, his profession took him to Hamburg to work for the local police as a physical trainer of recruits and of the entire police force. In this period he met Rudolph von Laban, creator of Labanotation (one form of written record of one of the most famous ballet in the world), which influenced his work incorporating part of it in setting up his own teaching. Laban has been the first, of various important personalities from the world of dance (Balanchine at all), that in the following years will take the Pilates method as a reference for their training base.
In 1925 the teaching of the Pilates method became very important to the German government, which invited its creator to personally follow the training plan of the new army. Joseph refused the call, and decided it was time to leave for the United States of America.
During the trip, he met a young nurse named Clara, who later became his wife and his assistant in the first studio opened in New York. Here J.Pilates began to codify his technique: the first part was focused solely on the Mat Work, which is a series of free-body exercises performed on a mat (mat).
This program was codified in a book called Contrology, original name that he coined for this technique.
The work was then extended to the completion of special tools, some of which have survived up to today.
At the time of his captivity in England, Joe had applied springs to the beds of patients in order to help them regain and maintain muscle tone while still bedridden. As a result of this idea he created the Universal Reformer, the tool that, till today, is the central part of the Pilates method.
Until his death in the ’60s, Pilates invented and perfected machines and other exercises for the Mat Work.
Later on, some of his students and associates took over his studio, and then gave rise to the first facilities dedicated to the spread of the method through the formation of new generations of instructors. | [

With Karlheinz Stockhausen
I grew up in my mother’s house in Cologne-Marienburg. My parents separated when I was at the early age of seven. Every now and then my father came to visit or stay the night, but he had built a house of his own in the “Bergisches Land” where I visited him countless times in the following years, mostly at weekends and often accompanied by friends. We spent many an hour playing in the woods, building camps and enjoying the sauna…
I have little memory of my father during the previous years when my parents lived together in Cologne-Braunsfeld. He was often away. At age four (1961) I was on stage for the first time playing with wooden toy blocks building a tower until it fell. This was in my father’s performance of ORIGINALE in Cologne, with music aorund me, acoustic and electronic, painting etc., a kind of fluxus happening. When I was five our family travelled to the USA and spent six months in Long Island near New York. My father had been invited there by an amateur composer. As a broker he had earned a lot of money and bought himself a palatial house previously owned by the Rothschilds. It was here that we were accommodated and in return my father gave him lessons in composition.
As my father began to show more and more interest in me as a musician, time spent with him became considerably more exciting. At six years of age I had begun playing the piano. The results were average and I showed no particular interest. That changed when I began to play the trumpet at 12. Soon I was playing in several bands, in a symphonic wind orchestra, I played from the church steeples at Christmas, joined church processions, played in a brass quintet, big band and dance music just to mention a few. My idols were famous jazz trumpeters, initially Louis Armstrong then Freddie Hubbard, later Miles Davis and trumpeters like Art Farmer, Palle Mikkelborg, Kenny Wheeler and others. Later they were naturally joined by the “king of classical trumpet” Maurice Andre.
First Concert Tours
When I was sixteen years old my father took me with him to Paris. He was rehearsing HYMNEN with the Conservatory orchestra and I was allowed to sit beside the trumpeters and play with them. At 18 I accompanied him to London where we recorded his piece of text ZUGVOGEL – my first experience with intuitive music – at Chrysalis Records. Although a pop label, Chrysalis very much wanted my father’s involvement. In the Spring of 1976 my schooling was almost completed and the rehearsals for SIRIUS, a comprehensive work for four soloists and electronic music, in which I was invited to participate, began at the WDR in Cologne. On 4th July 1976 we performed the world premiere of the first completed section of SIRIUS in the Einstein Spacearium in Washington D.C. as part of the United States Bicentennial. This was followed by a first international tour to Japan, Italy and France. The work then grew to its complete length of 96 minutes and was performed for the first time in the beautiful monastery of St. Louis in Aix en Provence in the summer of 1977.
I must add that we children were always allowed to take turns in accompanying our father on his concert tours. I remember the indescribable soprano Martina Arroyo during a European tour of MOMENTE. At thirteen I was taken on a seven-week journey to Bali and Japan with my father. He had conceived the music for the German Pavilion at the EXPO 70 in Osaka. This for me was the wide world! Every morning I wandered past the 180 pavilions and absorbed music and cultural impressions from around the globe and during the afternoon I listened to his composition interpreted by more than 20 musicians and supported by a considerable amount of electronic music. These impressions were wonderful and worked deeply on me! I will never forget further concert tours such as one to Lebanon in 1969, where he gave concerts in the amazing caves of Jeita, with visits to Baalbek and Palmyra or, a trip to Persia in 1972 when he gave concerts for two weeks at the Shiraz Festival which included performances in the unforgettable antique ruins of Persepolis.
Michael’s Journey Round the World
My father had observed me during the work on SIRIUS and his trust in my musical talent was established. He had by this time also asked me to participate in several performances of STERNKLANG in Paris and Bonn. Now he ventured to compose the quasi trumpet concerto MICHAEL’s JOURNEY ROUND THE WORLD for me. The premiere with the Ensemble Intercontemporain took place in October of 1978 in Donaueschingen with follow up concerts in Straßburg and | [

Spider glass saves birds
Posted on: 07 Aug 2012
A new bird-strike resistant glass has been created by a German company to prevent avian deaths and injuries when birds fly into windows.
Untold millions of birds die each year by striking glazing in buildings, but until now little has been able to be done to prevent this other than by placing stickers on the pane or tinting the glass. Now a German company called Glas Wagener has launched a new glass in which ultraviolet (UV) light – invisible to the human eye but visible to the bird – is reflected to reveal the glass's presence.
The new 'biomimetic' material was inspired orb weaver spider webs, which reflect UV light to stop birds flying through them and destroying the web, as well as to attract insects. Spiders of the genus Argiope (which includes the St Andrew's Cross Spider), widely distributed throughout the tropics, have conspicuous semi-opaque bands sewn across their webs known as stabilimenta, which warn birds of the presence of a web in their flight path.
These bands are not always prominent but always prevent bird strikes because they contain UV reflecting fibres that birds respond to, as they use that part of the spectrum as part of everyday vision.
Ornilux was tested at the Max Planck Institute for Ornithology, Radolfzell, Germany, using 17 different UV reflective panes in a flight tunnel; 19 European bird species were used, and 678 approach angles were analysed; a net was placed below the panes to protect the birds from injury. The resulting glass with a crisscross UV material almost invisible to the human eye was approved in 2009, and is now available in Europe and North America.
Now, the glass has seen its first use in Britain in a new observation tower opened by Prince Charles, on Lindisfarne, a former coastguard look-out point giving panoramic views inland to the Cheviot Hills and along the rugged Northumberland coast. The tower will open for public use later this month.
The manufacturers say that Ornilux is "a specially developed impact-resistant insulated glass that can be used in all window or facade installations, just like conventional insulated glass. Ornilux can now be recommended to architects or builders to minimize the effects of bird-strike in buildings having large glass installations, without requiring the use of visual barriers which are disturbing to people."

Our up to 50% off sale continues in-store and online. You can grab a real bargain that’s still perfect for the new season. Here’s a few items that are on our wishlist, and best of all they’re all £20 or less.Shop the sale on all our sites, including international.
You’ve booked that longed-for holiday and now you need to think about your holiday wardrobe. Swimwear can be a tricky item to get right, and can be a daunting item to shop for, but help is here! By using our guide to what swimwear will work for your shape you can get your poolside chic look polished.
The key to great swimwear is structure and support. This will make you feel confident and comfortable on the beach or at the pool, whether you opt for a bikini, a swimsuit, a tankini or a swim dress. Once you’ve decide what shape you want, you can play with colour and print for a look you’ll really love. You can then add accessories and cover-ups, like kaftans and sarongs, by shopping in our holiday shop.
Perfect Swimwear for Apple
Apple shapes have a softer and fuller middle with slimmer legs and bottom. Tankini shapes will cover mid-sections and v-neck tops with wide straps will be flattering and supportive for the bust area. A swimsuit with shapewear built in will help to smooth and minimize your tummy area, giving you beach confidence.
Perfect Swimwear for Hourglass
Compliment a curvy bust and hip by showing your defined waist. Make a feature of your waist with gathers and an underwired cup to give you support. Like Apple, a swimsuit with shapewear built in will help to smooth and minimize your tummy area, defining your waist even more.
Perfect Swimwear for Pear
Pear shapes have curvaceous hips and bottom with smaller bust and shoulders. Draw the eye up with a print on your top half with plain bottoms. Or try something a little different and opt for a feminine swim dress. The skirt will skim hips and upper thighs to offer you ultimate coverage and confidence.
Perfect Swimwear for Busty
For Busty support is key and will really make a difference to your overall beach style. Opt for padded cups, underwired or a concealed shelf bra with wider straps. A v-neck will also work really well, so opt for a bikini, | [

Science journalist Dave Mosher found a perfectly charming way to propose to his girlfriend, Kendra Snyder. Snyder is a communications officer with Brookhaven National Laboratory, home of the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, in which physicists collide gold ions in an attempt to study the state of the Universe in the moments after the Big Bang.
Just before 4:00 p.m., Kendra's boss Pete pulls her aside to say he has received an unusual phone call from a physicist at RHIC. The physicist -- aka Bill -- found a rare crystalline deposit in RHIC's beamline at the STAR detector, he says, and needs her to go down and see if it's worth writing a story about.
Conveniently, Pete and all of Kendra's other coworkers are tied up. Even Kendra's eager intern turns down the opportunity to see this bizarre deposit and the giant detector.
How weird, Kendra thinks.
After a 5-minute drive, she meets Bill the physicist at the fiveish-story loading dock outside of the detector's chamber. Bill starts to spout mumbo-jumbo about beamline metals, collision energies, crystallization environments, chemical reactions, and so on. They walk behind an enormous concrete radiation shield and there is the colossal detector, recently opened up for its usual summer maintenance period.
They walk up a dual staircase and onto a platform just below the particle beamline. "And that's the kind of crystal we found," says Bill, and quickly scurries down the other side of the staircase. It's a diamond ring in a box.
In 1958 in an Illinois creek bed, an amateur fossil collector named Francis Tully discovered the fossilized remains of a bizarre creature that resembled a mollusk, insect, and worm yet was none of those things. Since then, thousands of 300 million-year-old fossilized “Tully Monsters” have turned up and the creature was officially named as the […]

In girls, FSH and LH prompt the ovaries to begin with producing the hormone estrogen, which in turn causes a girl’s body to mature and prepares her for menstruation. Because FSH and LH work thus closely with one another, doctors often purchase these tests together, as well testing for testosterone and estradiol. Taken jointly, the results could provide a more comprehensive picture of a child’s sexual maturation. Why It’s Done Doctors may purchase an FSH check if a child appears to be getting into puberty earlier or later than expected. High amounts are connected with precocious puberty, while low amounts may reveal a delay in sexual development. The test could also be used to check on for disease or harm of the testes or ovaries, pituitary gland, or hypothalamus, an almond-sized section of the brain that links the anxious system with the hormone-producing urinary tract.The scholarly study also showed that riociguat was well tolerated and had a good safety profile. Additional data from the analysis are planned to become provided at the American Thoracic Culture International Conference in-may 2009, in NORTH PARK, California, USA. Riociguat gets the potential to conquer limitations of current requirements of treatment in pulmonary hypertension, stated Kemal Malik, M.D., Head of Global Development and Person in the Executive Committee of Bayer HealthCare. We are growing into regions of high unmet medical want and riociguat can be an example of the type of novel method of treating coronary disease to which Bayer is certainly committed. | [

With several of its community services threatened by budget cuts, the Port Hueneme City Council has voted to dip into federal housing rehabilitation funds to pay for an array of programs normally funded by the local treasury.
Community Development Director Tom Figg requested Wednesday that the council make the "radical departure" from past use of the Community Development Block Grant funds because of state cuts.
"We're creating a shift in emphasis at the expense of housing rehab," Figg said. "The danger is that you can become dependent on this type of intermittent funding."
The council's unanimous vote to allot the $204,000 in block grant money comes as city funds for senior services, graffiti removal, code enforcement and other social programs are dwindling, Figg said.
The plan hinges on whether federal Housing and Urban Development officials will grant the city a waiver to use the money to fund such services. Figg said he expects a response within six weeks.
The council voted to allot $30,000 of the CDBG money for code enforcement, $65,000 for rehabilitation of the city's Boys & Girls Club and $19,000 for graffiti removal. The remainder went to other social services.
"There is a tendency to turn a quick fix into a long-term addiction," Figg added. "We're concerned about that and we'll revisit this issue during next year's budget considerations." | [

With Australia’s borders effectively closed, and most Australians banned from leaving the country for the time being, it’s fair to say that demand for international air travel is weak right now. Many airlines have responded by reducing or eliminating international flights to or from Australia.
But the movement of cargo is more important than ever. Many airlines, including Emirates, are still operating cargo flights to and from Australia despite passenger flights being suspended. (Some airlines are even converting passenger planes into freighters.)
And some people still need to travel. So, which airlines are still operating passenger flights to and from Australia – and where are they flying to?
Qantas and Virgin Australia have been operating a limited number of scheduled repatriation flights from London, Los Angeles, Hong Kong and Auckland to both Brisbane and Melbourne during April, subsidised by the federal government. These special flights could be booked on the airlines’ websites, but were only running one or two times per week and for a limited period of time. Only Economy seats were available, and no frequent flyer points or status credits could be earned.
Meanwhile, there are still some international airlines operating regular commercial flights to and from Australia. Here is a full list of international flights to/from Australia with commercial seats available for sale as of the start of May 2020:

Australia is also still receiving occasional repatriation charter flights from other airlines that don’t normally fly here. Last month, airlines including KLM, Nepal Airlines, Austrian Airlines and Condor operated repatriation flights to Australia, either brining home Aussies or returning stranded citizens from Australia to their respective home countries. In addition, EgyptAir this week flew from Cairo to Brisbane via Manila. Spanish airline Iberia is also flying from Sydney to Madrid via Bangkok this week.
Several other airlines were also regularly flying to Australia until the end of April. After this weekend, Malaysia Airlines will temporarily end regular services from Kuala Lumpur to Sydney and Perth. Next Monday, Xiamen Air will fly Sydney-Xiamen and Korean Air will fly Sydney-Seoul for the last time in a while. Qatar Airways had also been flying regularly from Doha to Brisbane, and had been operating multiple times daily to Sydney, Melbourne and Perth during April 2020.

| || Partial Burn Laws in Propellant Erosive Burning
Author : Zenin, A.A. ;Finjakov, S.V.
Source : Defence Science Journal ; Vol:49(2) ; 1999 ; pp 159-168
Subject : 662.3 Propellants;66 Chemical Technology
Keywords : Composite propellants ;Partial burn law
Abstract : "Experimental and computer methods were developed for investigating the combustion phenomena in the propellants which burn in streams of hot gas flowing along the burn surfaces of the propellants. The experimental investigations allowed establishment of different dependencies for erosive burning. Computer solutions of the problem for double-base (DB) propellants showed a good agreement with the experimental results. The suggested variant of modified theory considers the change of heat release in solids, the real burn surface roughness, the nonisothermality of boundary layer and the effect of gas mass blow from the propellant burn surface into the gas stream. This modified theory was used for studying burn laws at 30-1000 atm and up to gas stream sound velocities for different DB propellants. It was found that gas stream leads to splitting of the propellant burn laws, m = bp/sup v/. Pressure power (v), in this case depends on gas stream velocity (W), diameter of the propellant tube canal (d) and gas stream temperature (T/sub w/). It is because of this that these burn laws were named partial burn laws. They have the form (m = bp/sup w(omega)/) w,d,T/sub w/ -const. The dependencies w(omega) = f(w,d,T/sub w/) were obtained by the modified theory. It was found that omega values mainly decrease when pressure increases beginning from ~200 to 400 atm and they can decrease up to w(omega) = 0,1- 0,3. Similar results can be obtained for composite propellants." | [

Basement Waterproofing Case Studies: Corner Window Crack in Cottonwood Heights
The crack in the foundation, originating from a basement window, was letting water into the home.
Using our patented FlexiSpan triple barrier system, and our Dry Well product, the home is leak free. The crack was sealed with a high-viscosity polyurethane polymer. It gets deep in the cracks to form a durable, flexible seal. The polymer seal should never fail. If it ever does, 95% of the water should still be stopped from leaking in. To ensure a proper repair, we install a secondary layer of drainage on the basement wall -- one that will direct water to your basement drainage system or dry well. To keep your foundation walls looking great, we overlay your sealed wall crack with a polyurethane sealant. After the wall crack has been repaired, the concrete floor is restored flush, with no gaps or openings.
Foreman: Kevin Killpack
Foundation Specialist: David Chance
Products Installed: Dry Well
Products Installed: FlexiSpan
The crack in the foundation allowed water to seep into the home.
Step 1 the polymer seals the crack.
Step 2 & 3 other layers of barriers, a FlexiSpan foam, are installed to ensure leaks are stopped.
Step 4 preparation for the final sealing.
Step 5 adhering the final FlexiSpan patch to ensure the foundation leak is stopped. | [

If you're not giving Cardi her props yet, these punchlines may convince you.
While protesters of the #BardiGang are quick to come for Bronx-bred emcee Cardi B's staccato flow, her thick New York-meets-Hispaniola accent and the lightning-fast come up in which she turned dancing for men in Midtown into a budding rap career--there's no denying that the 25-year-old knows how to hustle. Parlaying the small New York following she gained from being a loud-mouthed stripper that could bag up to 3 Gs on a good night into a bonafide status as an online entertainer with a carefully censored public-facing persona, Bardi has consistently straddled the line between transparency and heavily-guarded privacy. Quick to drop an expletive-laced Instagram rant directed at her detractors, the "Lick" rapper has been extremely careful in guarding her personal life during her glow-up, giving off the impression that she's consistently down to level with her fans--if and and only if the subject matter doesn't get too personal.
Translating her quick stint on Love & Hip Hop: New York into a wider social media following, Cardi B made waves after gifting the zeitgeist with "Bodak Yellow," the ultimate turn up anthem of 2017. However, mixtape-era Bardi shouldn't be discounted as trash simply because it came before the track that catapulted her into the mainstream, as Gangsta Bitch Music, Vol. 1 and Gangsta Bitch Music, Vol. 2 are not without merit. While the collections are admittedly quite similar stylistically, adopting a bachata-infused, battle-friendly flow that brings icy trap beats to the intersection of Jamaican dancehall, the work of pre-fame Cardi B undeniably boasts a number of lyrical diamonds in the rough. While the "Lick" rapper has yet to master consistency in regards to serving up switched-up flows punctuated by inverted and slant rhymes, Cardi B possesses an uncanny ability to draw on her background as a viral sensation and turn any hashtag-friendly catchphrase into a bumping chorus. As evidenced by flipping her iconic line from Love & Hip Hop into one of her most popular mixtape tracks, the rapper knows how to assess the viability of a "moment" in internet culture and mold it to work for her career.
"When there’s a word that is catchy to me, I might use it in my music. Everybody kept saying ‘foreva, foreva’… And then I was like, 'Shit, I’m about to capitalize on it,'" said Cardi, referring to the oft-quoted hook, “Ran down on that bitch twice/ Ran down on that bitch twice/ You know me, I be with whatever/ If a bitch beef with me, we gon beef foreva."
"The way she projects a song, the way a song comes out of her, it’s just very her. A lot of people can do a song but it’s just the way she say it that [differentiates] her,” said producer SwiftOnDemand, a longtime professional collaborator and one-time co-star of the chart-topping hitmaker.
Favoring deep, dark beats and Swift's own brand of "rachet trap" production, Cardi B has laid out more than a few memorable bars since dropping Gangsta Bitch Music, Vol. 1 in March, 2016. Here are some of the dopest lines from her growing collection.
1. "A hoe can hate but don't be fucking with my commas/And if she is I'll shape her up and she gon' get the line up."
This is a line from “Foreva” on Bardi’s first mixtape, Gangsta Bitch Music Vol. 1. Never shy about securing the bag and getting that schmoney, Bardi makes it very clear she's not here for a hater to disrupt her payday.
2. "Pull up with the Gucci clutch, spitting clutch rhymes/Flyer than a big big B with a Blood tie/Don't do much, he get hard when I bust wines/No straws for this juice box, got one time."
Paired with a visual that serves as a gritty love letter to Cardi B's native New York, the rapper boasts her Blood affiliation on the track "Red Barz."
3. "I see some people who still worried about my revenue/I'm eating good you wish you could don't worry about my food."
According to Bardi, no one needed to question her bankroll even in the early days of her come-up, already boasting over 1 million followers on the 'Gram before her first appearance on Love & | [

Houston, TX – June 2020 – J Turner Research predicts a rent collection of 84.28% by June 10, an increase of about 5% over the previous month at the same time. Earlier in May, J Turner predicted a rent collection of 80.8%. This prediction was within a percentage point of actual rent receipt of 80.2% as of May 6, as reported by the National Multifamily Housing Council (NMHC)’s Rent Payment Tracker.
“If our numbers are as on target as last month, rent receipts will be stronger than May, which bodes well for the industry,” said Joseph Batdorf, President of J Turner Research.
The June rent estimate study was conducted from May 22 to May 31. The key findings of the study are listed below:
Housing Payments – Slightly more than seventy-four percent (74.68%) of respondents indicated that they would be able to pay their rent on time, as compared to last month. In J Turner’s May rent estimate study, 70% of respondents said that they would be able to pay rent on time. The percentage of residents optimistic about making their rent payment
has increased from May. This month 9.6% indicated they might be unable to make the payment, whereas last month 14% said that they might not be able to make the payment.
Employment status – Over 9% of respondents have responded that they have been furloughed or laid off from their job with an additional 5% of respondents indicating they were self-employed. Self-employed residents said their business revenues are significantly impacted. Fifty-one percent of residents who reported being furloughed/laid off said they would be able to pay the rent for June on time.
The number of unemployed respondents is somewhat less than the latest national numbers with 16% of the workforce filing for unemployment. Interestingly, the number
of respondents that said they had been furloughed or laid off (9%) tracked closely with the percentage of respondents indicating they might not be able to pay rent for June (9.58%).
Future personal expenses – Rental payments continue to be of most concern to respondents and a priority over car payment, utilities, and even groceries. In May, while 53% of respondents were concerned about rent payments, in June this percentage is down to 47%. The percentage of “I am not concerned at this point” has gone from 35% in May to 39.8% in June.
Opening-up the economy – Looking to the future, respondents in the June rent estimate study indicate a cautious outlook about opening the economy with nearly 35% choosing “better to be safe than sorry,” 49% prefer opening the economy in phases and 16% selecting “open it up completely.” There is an improvement in people’s outlook towards opening the economy since May – nearly 54% chose “better to be safe than sorry,” 39% opted for opening the economy in phases, and 6% selected “open it up completely.”
Public gatherings – An overwhelming percentage (over 81%) of respondents stated that they were avoiding public gatherings due to the coronavirus. People seem to be warming up to the idea of being in a crowd. In May 94% of respondents expressed avoiding public gatherings.
Vehicle payment – 70.86% of respondents expressed that they will be able to pay their vehicle payment on time, and 13.73% of respondents said that they might not be able to make the June payment on their vehicle.

Capital takes a closer look at one of the sweetest friendships in pop as we delve into what makes Ed Sheeran and US star Taylor Swift the perfect musical matches for one another.
Ed Sheeran Denies Justin Bieber Collaboration: "It Wouldn't Work"
The 'Small Bump' star responds to reports linking him with the Canadian teen star.
The 'Lego House' singer told The Sun that he thinks that a team-up wouldn't work between the two artists – because the pair are two male solo singers.
"I don't think a collaboration would work with Justin," he revealed. "I think collaborations should be done with people that can actually click.
"Two male singers makes it very difficult for it to work."
Rumours first circulated that the two were working together when the British singer was pictured in the studio with Scooter Braun.
The 'Drunk' star said that it was in fact Tori Kelly - an artist signed to Scooter - who he was asked to work with.
"I met Bieber's manager Scooter Braun in New York and he said he's got this artist I want you to write with," he said. "Next time I was in LA, I was doing Jimmy Kimmel and he brought this girl to Kimmel and I met her straight afterwards. I then went to the studio and did a song."
Meanwhile, Ed is currently set to take to the stage at the Grammy Awards this weekend where he will perform alongside Sir Elton John.
He will also be aiming to win big on the night as his track 'The A Team' is nominated for Song Of The Year.

Eurofighter’s New Radar Is Nearly Ready But Royal Air Force Wants An Even Better One
The Eurofighter is finally getting its long-awaited Captor-E AESA radar, but the RAF is going to wait for an enhanced version with special abilities.
The United Kingdom is holding out for a unique cutting-edge Active Electronically-Scanned Array (AESA) radar for its Eurofighter Typhoons, while its European partners in the fighter program are forging ahead with a less capable, but ready solution. The Royal Air Force will likely receive its special version of the Captor-E radar that is currently in secretive development sometime in the middle of the current decade, which will enable its Typhoons to neatly complement its 5th generation F-35 Joint Strike Fighters in high-end warfighting.
In a written statement on July 10, 2020, U.K. Minister for Defense Procurement Jeremy Quin stated: “The Ministry of Defence is committed to implementing an Active Electronically Scanned Array radar on our Typhoon fleet. The demonstration and manufacture phase for the UK's variant of the European Common Radar System is continuing at pace, and in June 2020 a contract was let with our European partners to develop a common integration solution across the Typhoon radar enterprise.”
An AESA radar in a modern fighter is extremely important. Compared to older mechanically-scanned array radars, AESAs can spot and track targets further away and with greater speed and accuracy, even against smaller and harder to detect threats, such as low flying cruise missiles. With increased power, they generally have better target discrimination and multi-target tracking capabilities, as well as greater resistance to jamming. With longer range, they allow fighters to make better use of a new generation long-range air-to-air weaponry, such as the MBDA Meteor that the Typhoons can carry. They are also significantly more reliable than their mechanically scanned array counterparts. You can read more about AESA radars and their unique capabilities in this past piece of ours.
Airbus announced in late June that it had been awarded a contract for the development, supply and integration of 115 AESA, or E-Scan, radars for German and Spanish Eurofighters. The news was extremely significant, marking the biggest development by far in a long-running saga related to the European fighter’s EuroRadar Captor-E system.
Airbus operations in Germany and Spain are two partners in the Eurofighter Typhoon program, alongside BAE Systems in the United Kingdom, and Leonardo in Italy. The European fighter has made significant progress over the past five years through the addition of an array of new weapons and avionics to herald a true multi-role mission capability. However, the story of the fighter’s next-gen radar has proved less impressive.
The June 2020 agreement for 110 Captor-E radars for Germany and an initial batch of five radars for Spain is significant in that it is the first such order from the partner nations involved in the Eurofighter program. The Airbus media release said the contract foresees the delivery and integration of the radars by 2023. “Whereas the Airbus sites in Manching, Germany, and Getafe, Spain, will act as overall integration hub, the development and building of the radar will be subcontracted to a consortium under the leadership of Hensoldt and Indra and by participation of further Eurofighter partner companies," according to the statement.
Dirk Hoke, CEO of Airbus Defense and Space, said: “The contract for the Captor-E radar is a main achievement to equip Eurofighter with sensors that ensure today’s dominance of the aircraft also in the threat scenarios of tomorrow.”
Eurofighter’s Complicated E-Scan Origins
The European Common Radar System for the Typhoon is a complicated collection of projects that are being run by the overarching EuroRadar consortium comprising Leonardo in the United Kingdom and Italy, Indra in Spain, and Hensoldt in Germany. EuroRadar has already manufactured over 400 mechanically-scanned Captor radars for the existing Eurofighters that are in service, and an eagerly-awaited AESA follow-on dates back to early demonstrator flight trials in 2006 and 2007 under a project known as CAESAR (Captor AESA Radar).
As long ago as 2012, then Eurofighter CEO Enzo Casolini said the E-Scan radar was “in full development,” as the partners sought to dispel confusion over the exact status of the radar with talk of an agreement by the end of 2012. “We started development, the gate target is to have entry to service in 2015,” Casolini said.

I wrote yesterday about Korihor’s constricting worldview. His rejection of all knowledge that is not current and within our own experience led to very poor outcomes. Alma, in contrast, had a broad perspective. After asking Korihor what evidence he had that there is no God, Alma shared his own experience: “I have all things as a testimony that these things are true, and ye also have all things as a testimony unto you that they are true” (Alma 30:41).
When Korihor requested a sign, Alma pointed out several signs which were already available to him: the people he knew who were believers, the scriptures, and the majesty of nature. “All things denote there is a God,” he reiterated, “yea, even the earth, and all things that are upon the face of it, yea, and its motion, yea, and also all the planets which move in their regular form do witness that there is a Supreme Creator” (Alma 30:44).
Korihor didn’t need more signs; he needed to open his eyes and recognize the signs which he already had.
Elder Gerrit W. Gong gained a greater appreciation for the world when he was invited by Richard G. Scott to try watercolor painting. He shared the following admonition from Elder Scott:
Attempt to be creative, even if the results are modest. … Creativity can engender a spirit of gratitude for life and for what the Lord has woven into your being. … If you choose wisely, it doesn’t have to absorb a lot of time. (Richard G. Scott, Finding Peace, Happiness, and Joy (2007), 162–63; quoted in Elder Richard G. Scott Art Exhibit: A Self-Guided Tour (pamphlet, 2010).
Elder Gong concluded, “There is joy in imagining, learning, doing worthwhile new things” (“Our Campfire of Faith,” General Conference, October 2018).
Today, I will open my eyes to the wonders around me. I will strive to be more observant, to appreciate God’s creations. I will also be open to new experiences and willing to try new things, recognizing that my awareness of the world around me is dependent on my willingness to engage with the world around me. | [

“A volcanic isle
Hot lava spues forth
An Island Rises
in an Iris’s shape?”
The Art Café and Photography Café participated in a Collaborative Show where the Art Café members chose a photograph to Interpret.
This photograph by Jay Fitzpatrick is of the lovely Bearded Iris.
While thinking about how to abstract this I noticed that the outline of the flower could be a cluster of islands.
The oranges could be active volcanoes while the other colors would be exposed lava ridges and early evidence of plant life growing on the volcanic soil – now soil.
Perhaps a little whimsical for such a wonderful photograph but that’s what I saw. | [

The Florida legislature also modified and expanded the factors that courts must consider when making a determination on the issue of time-sharing. The overriding concern remains the best interests of the child. There are now twenty factors for consideration, some of which are highlighted below:
- The ability of each parent to have a close relationship with the child;
- The ability of each parent to work with the other parent;
- The ability of each parent to put the needs of the child before his or her own needs;
- How parental responsibilities will likely be divided when the divorce is finalized;
- Whether each parent will require some sort of child care during his or her time-sharing schedule;
- How long the child has lived in a stable home;
- Whether the parents live near each other and the child's school;
- How well the child is doing in school;
- How well informed each parent is of the child's scholastic and extracurricular activities;
- Whether each parent is involved in the child's scholastic and extracurricular activities;
- The ability of each parent to provide a routine for the child;
- Whether each parent is morally fit;
- The physical and mental health of each parent;
- The preference of the child;
- Whether there has been any domestic violence or other abuse or neglect;
- Whether either parent has falsely accused the other parent of abuse;
- The responsibilities of each parent toward the child before the petition for divorce was filed;
- Whether either parent has exposed the child to alcohol or drug abuse;
- Whether each parent has shielded the child from the divorce litigation;
- The ability of each parent to meet the child's current and future developmental needs; and
- Anything else that the court believes is relevant.
Courts may give each factor different weight based on the circumstances of a particular case. If you have questions concerning how the factors might apply to your case, be sure to consult an attorney experienced in family law.

Dear supporter, we are reaching out to you with a heartfelt appeal to raise funds to keep the SoilSistars Land thriving.
Our journey toward self-sustainability and providing empowering food growing and land sovereignty workshops is at risk, and we need your support to continue working at Falcon Fields Allotment.
As a young Community Interest Company (CIC) entering our third year, we've already achieved significant milestones, but we've faced financial challenges.
With only one funding source in our first year, the SoilSistars land programmes have been the backbone, funding the land and supporting it through in-person and online virtual learning courses, enterprise initiatives, and school programs teaching over 100 children and young people weekly to grow natural food with love.
Our current fundraising goal of £5000 is aimed at securing a year’s rent on the allotment farm lands, teach traditional land skills development and supporting Mama Selma, a proud Guyanese elder who has been farming at Falcon Fields allotment lands for 50 years. She, like many elders, relies on the land for strength and sustenance. However, rising rent prices imposed by the council threaten the very essence of this community and the well-being of our elders, most of whom belong to the Windrush generation.
In the face of a cost-of-living crisis, the council's decision to increase rent by 200% Mama Selma, at 89 years old, exemplifies the spirit of the land, giving away everything she grows. We can't let her and others like her lose this vital connection.
We are challenging this decision, advocating for the democracy of the land, and fighting against the displacement of a community that has thrived for over 50 years. We need your support to continue negotiating with the council and ensuring our community's voices are heard.
Our commitment is fueled by love and trust, as we work tirelessly to bring in resources. We are currently building a SoilSistars network to empower women of African and Caribbean heritage in working with the land and establishing our presence in sustainable Agroecological farming in the UK.
Our ultimate goal is to have our own farm in the future. This appeal truly goes beyond GoGrowWithLove. It’s a movement for autonomy and self-sustainability for working-class people, and for a majority Afro-Caribbean community.
The land serves as a place of respite, learning, and community building, transcending then SoilSistar's alone.
Please donate to our GoFundMe, and share our story with others who believe in the power of community and sustainable living. You can find more information and stay updated on our progress through videos on Channel 5, our feature in the Rakin and Futerra Campaign and Metro photo series celebrating climate heroes, Resilience, Soas Spirit, Atmos Earth publications and the upcoming documentary
Your support means the world to us, and it ensures that the SoilSistars Land continues to be a beacon of love, trust, and empowerment.

Police in this northern Idaho city are investigating a note left on a convenience store door as possible malicious harassment.
Security cameras show a man getting out of a car and leaving the note at 2:57 a.m. Thursday at Piggie's Deli and Market.
Workers discovered the note tucked between the front doors when they opened at 5 a.m. The note contained a picture of a man wearing a sombrero and a slur against Latinos, and included the words, "Join the White Revolution," police said.
A Latino man worked the previous night's shift.
"This is a very serious matter," the store's manager, Dharamjit Khehra, told The Spokesman-Review.
Coeur d'Alene police Sgt. Christie Wood said malicious harassment, a felony, is punishable by up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $5,000. Idaho law also allows victims of such activity to file civil suits for damages.
Khehra, a Sikh who wears a turban and beard, said he's been in the United States 13 years and has managed Piggie's three years. He said the note is the only racist incident he's encountered. [Link]

Natural flu fighters can help stop the flu in its initial stages and help build a healthy immune system
As the end of winter approaches and viruses abound, it’s good to review some natural flu fighters that you can recommend to your patients. Many know about elderberry and ginger, but there are others as well.
“Although natural therapies can help stop the flu in its initial stages, it is essential that chiropractors remind their patients that the best flu fighter is a healthy immune system,” says Lauri Grossman, DC, CCH, RSHom (NA), who in addition to having her own chiropractic practice in Manhattan is a professional homeopath and president-elect of the National Center for Homeopathy.
“Patients of all ages must be encouraged to rest, exercise, and eat well during the winter months. Occasional drinks of hot water mixed with lemon and honey warm both adults and children on cold days. Whole grains, a varied mix of fruits and vegetables, occasional servings of nuts and beans, as well as organic meat, chicken, fish and eggs enhance the health of toddlers, teens, and parents alike. There’s a good reason why family kitchens have been serving soups during the winter months for generations. They hydrate the body and provide a hearty serving of vitamins and minerals. Adding ginger, onions, or garlic to favorite family recipes might be all one needs to give mom dad and all the children the edge they need to stay at the top of their game this flu season.”
Grossman answered questions about other natural flu fighters that chiropractors can recommend to their patients and why and how they work.
How can elderberry help?
Elderberry is one of the most effective herbal remedies for the flu. It alleviates coughs and sinusitis so it is a great option for people whose symptoms include a cough or sinus pain. Elderberry has no potential side effects when taken properly, so chiropractors can recommend it with confidence for patients to use with the entire family.
The recommended adult dosage is 1 tablespoon four times daily. Children need only take 1 tablespoon two times per day.
Elderberry acts by inhibiting influenza virus replication. As with all supplements, one should use a reputable provider.
What can ginger do?
Ginger is one of the most popular herbal medicines because it has so many benefits. In addition to relieving flu-like symptoms, it stimulates digestion and reduces gas. It alleviates sore throats, chills, and colds and it acts as an overall anti-inflammatory.
It can be taken as a tea, tincture, or in capsule form. So it is quite versatile and appealing to patients with varying needs as a natural flu fighter.
To experience the greatest benefit, drink the tea or take a 500 mg capsule four times a day. During the first days of the flu, when symptoms are usually the worst, it is best to eat lightly. So this is when ginger teas and soups containing ginger can do the most good. Fluids help to cleanse away toxins and keep the respiratory tract moist. This greatly speeds healing.
What else can patients take as natural flu fighters?
Before flu season even starts, I tell all my patients to have a box of Oscillococcinum in their medicine chest. Taking Oscillo at the very first sign of headache, chills, or fever can reduce the intensity of symptoms and shorten the length of the flu so that one can return to work or school far sooner than expected.
Oscillo is so effective it has become one of the most popular homeopathic remedies, and is easy to find in your local drugstore. Simply follow the directions on the box, allowing the quick dissolving pellets to melt on or under the tongue three times a day and away from food or drink or the brushing of teeth.
If patients ask if there have been studies, the answer is yes, two studies show that Oscillococcinum lessens both the intensity of symptoms and the number of days one is ill. There are no contraindications, and Oscillo does not interfere with any other medications or supplements.
Most people are familiar with oregano as a common cooking herb, but most do not know it is also a powerful natural flu fighter. Local health food stores carry oregano oil in 500 mg capsules that, when taken four times a day, will bolster the body’s ability to fight the infection.
Just be aware that it is contraindicated during pregnancy — so this is one natural flu-fighter to recommend only to men and post-menopausal women.
These patients may report that in addition to the flu, other infections clear after taking the oregano, as it is a powerful anti-fungal herb and has been found to speed the healing of abscesses, diarrhea, parasites, and vaginitis. | [

When evaluating facial attractiveness, participants may fail to notice a radical change to the outcome of their choice, according to a study by researchers at Lund University, Sweden, and New York University. Equally surprising, the study shows that participants may produce confabulatory reports when asked to describe the reasons behind their choices. The findings appear in the October 7 issue of Science.
The authors on this paper are Petter Johansson, a graduate student; Lars Hall, a researcher; Sverker Sikström, an assistant professor; all from Lund University Cognitive Science; and Andreas Olsson, a graduate student in NYUs Department of Psychology.
Researchers showed picture-pairs of female faces to the participants and asked them to choose which face in each pair they found most attractive. In addition, immediately after their choice, they were asked to verbally describe the reasons for choosing the way they did. Unknown to the participants, on certain trials, a card magic trick was used to secretly exchange one face for the other. Thus, on these trials, the outcome of the choice became the opposite of what they intended.

Whether you call it effervescent, fizzy, or sparkling, carbonated water is making a comeback as a beverage. Aside from quenching thirst, researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have discovered a new use for these "bubbly" concoctions that will have major impact on the manufacturer of the world's thinnest, flattest, and one most useful materials -- graphene.
As graphene's popularity grows as an advanced "wonder" material, the speed and quality at which it can be manufactured will be paramount. With that in mind,...
Physicists at the University of Bonn have managed to create optical hollows and more complex patterns into which the light of a Bose-Einstein condensate flows. The creation of such highly low-loss structures for light is a prerequisite for complex light circuits, such as for quantum information processing for a new generation of computers. The researchers are now presenting their results in the journal Nature Photonics.
Light particles (photons) occur as tiny, indivisible portions. Many thousands of these light portions can be merged to form a single super-photon if they are...
For the first time, scientists have shown that circular RNA is linked to brain function. When a RNA molecule called Cdr1as was deleted from the genome of mice, the animals had problems filtering out unnecessary information – like patients suffering from neuropsychiatric disorders.
While hundreds of circular RNAs (circRNAs) are abundant in mammalian brains, one big question has remained unanswered: What are they actually good for? In the...

A study led by scientists of the Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter (MPSD) at the Center for Free-Electron Laser Science in Hamburg presents evidence of the coexistence of superconductivity and “charge-density-waves” in compounds of the poorly-studied family of bismuthates. This observation opens up new perspectives for a deeper understanding of the phenomenon of high-temperature superconductivity, a topic which is at the core of condensed matter research since more than 30 years. The paper by Nicoletti et al has been published in the PNAS.
Since the beginning of the 20th century, superconductivity had been observed in some metals at temperatures only a few degrees above the absolute zero (minus...

Nuclear Transparency Watch is a European network created in 2013 to develop transparency in nuclear activities. It promotes the conditions for democratic transparency and effective public participation in the nuclear sector. It supports and assists national and local initiatives and civil society organisations seeing to promote transparency of nuclear activities. It favours the sharing of information among participants and the building of participatory review of nuclear safety arrangements when appropriate. Finally, it raises the voice of civil society in the European and national decision-making processes on nuclear activities and provide information to the European Union institutions and Members of Parliament.
This requirement of citizen’s vigilance is concerning all activities of the nuclear cycle: risks of outsourcing, the extending life of the nuclear power plants, the management of nuclear accidents and their financial coverage, the cost of nuclear safety in a difficult economic and financial context or also the radioactive waste management. | [

The Nightfall Concert Series, produced by Chattanooga Presents, continues its 31st season on Friday with a series of free Friday-night concerts held at Miller Plaza in downtown Chattanooga. Each Friday through Aug. 31 (with the exception of June 8 and 15 during Riverbend), Nightfall will showcase a broad spectrum of musical genres featuring a local band at 7 p.m., followed by a headline show by a national artist at 8 p.m., many of whom are performing for the first time in Chattanooga.
Review for Ruby Velle and the Soulphonics:
Headlining Nightfall this Friday will be Ruby Velle and the Soulphonics. An Atlanta-based band who are heirs to the throne of the old-school Motown masters, Ruby Velle and the Soulphonics come armed with deep, raw funk steeped in a southern soul style. They have blazed a trail with their new music and shared the stage with Gary Clark Jr. and Kendrick Lamar.
The local band Function will open Fridays show at 7 p.m. Also known as Function: with a C, this band returns to the Nightfall stage with their soulful rocking blend of jazz and R&B. Function previously won the 2014 Road to Nightfall and went on to play the TVFCU Stage of Riverbend... | [

Many memories of the friendships that go back to the 1940s. Karen was best friends with my sister Dotty and I was besties with her sister, Beverly. We all went to the same school, had a lot in common and shared many happy times together. After our sisters had departed, we still kept in touch, spoke often and met from time to time. She holds a very special place in my heart and she will be remembered with love.
Sincere condolences to her beloved husband Chuck, her dear daughters Lisa and Denise and their families.
On 8-15-2023 I lost the love of my life and best friend. When I met Karen, she was only 16 years old. We were blessed to have so many years together and for that I will forever be grateful. She blessed me with two beautiful daughters. I know our Lord looked down on her suffering and said enough you're coming with. I will miss her. However, I believe God has a plan for everyone and in his mercy, we will be together someday. I will forever love her and cherish the beautiful times we shared. Love Always, rest in peace you are in a better place. Your Loving husband. Chuck | [

Four lots of dots
The picture shows 16 dots drawn in an evenly spaced 4-by-4 square array. How many squares can be made using four of the dots as the vertices? In fact there are 20, including the one shown.
I have now drawn another square array of the same type but with a larger number of dots. This time the number of squares possible is four times the number of dots.
How many dots have I drawn?

An appeal for information has been made following the seizure of a quad bike which is believed to have been stolen.
Members of the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) based in Omagh, Co. Tyrone, made the appeal earlier this week, on Monday, December 30 last.
Taking to social media, the local PSNI officers said:
"Police in Omagh are appealing for information relating to the below pictured quad bike.
The quad was seized by police following an incident and [police] believe it to be stolen.
"Anyone with information can contact police on 101 quoting the reference number 1720 21/10/2019," the PSNI statement said.
Investigations ongoing following 4x4 recovery
In a similar case south of the Northern Irish border, investigations are ongoing after a vehicle which was stolen from a yard in recent weeks was recovered, according to An Garda Síochána.
“Gardaí are investigating the unauthorised taking of a jeep from a yard in Mountainpole, Kells, Co. Meath, in the early hours of Tuesday, December 24,” a Garda spokesperson confirmed to AgriLand.
“The jeep was later recovered by Gardaí," the representative added.
No arrests have been made and investigations are ongoing.
The vehicle in question was a 2005 Wicklow-registered Ssangyong Rexton 4X4, local Gardaí said in a recent plea for information. | [

Father Charles Daniel Skok has been a priest for 50
years. He was ordained at the
Cathedral of Our Lady of Lourdes April 30, 1952, by his namesake, Bishop
Charles Daniel White. His
golden anniversary was celebrated at St. John Vianney Parish, Spokane,
where he is in residence. Parishioners
held a reception for him there April 26 and the children at the school
also gave him a party for the occasion.
About half of Father Skok’s active ministry was spent in parish work;
the other half teaching. More often
than not, they overlapped. Father
Skok said he always wanted to be a priest, but he had no thought of being a
teacher. “That’s why I didn’t
join the Jesuits; I didn’t think I wanted to teach,” he said. He admitted he “didn’t like teaching for about the first
twenty minutes, then after that I liked it.”
Dates and places come easily to Father Skok as he talks about his life.
He was born in Jump-Off near Valley, Washington, the twelfth of fifteen
children, entered St. Edward Seminary in Kenmore, Washington when he was
thirteen years old. His first
assignment after priestly ordination was as Assistant Pastor at St. Patrick
Parish in Walla Walla, where he served from 1952-1957.
during that time, he taught in St. Patrick High School, before it became
DeSales. He was the school’s
principal for two years and coached junior high sports, “with a lot of help
from Whitman College.”
He was appointed Chancellor of the diocese in 1957 and returned to
Spokane. In addition, he was named
Spiritual Director and Superior for Marycliff High School.
Father Skok left those posts in 1960 to attend the Angelicum University
in Rome. His studies there earned
him a doctorate in moral theology. He
was in Rome the summer before the Second Vatican Council opened, and met some of
the key figures of that momentous event. Father
Skok said this became “really important.
I learned what would happen before it took place.
this helped me so much,” in being prepared for the changes that
followed the Council’s work.
When he came back to the diocese in 1962, he was named Diocesan
Superintendent of Schools. The post
was new in all the sense that it combined duties of the Superintendent of
Catholic Schools with those of the Director of the Confraternity of Christian
Doctrine - and Father Skok became responsible for both.
He was also named pastor at Holy Rosary Parish in Rosalia.
“Bishop Topel tended to give multiple jobs,” Father Skok said.
In 1964, Father Skok became pastor at St. Joseph in Trentwood, and in
1965 he was named rector at Bishop White Seminary. The seminary was still for high school students
at that time, and one of the subjects he taught was Latin.
During this period, the priest organized Bishop White into a college
seminary. Mater Cleri became the
diocese’s high school seminary.
He taught theology at Mater Cleri in Colbert in 1965.
He went to Sacred Heart Parish in Pullman in 1968, and then to Sacred
Heart Parish in Spokane in 1972. four
years later he became pastor at St. Patrick Parish in Pasco, serving there until
1980. He guided that parish in building its new parish
In 1980, Father Skok became Professor of Theology at Gonzaga University
and served as head of the Religious Studies department there.
He also served a third time as rector at Bishop White Seminary.
Father Skok retired in 1997, but continued teaching half-time at Gonzaga
University. He decided last fall to
cut back on his teaching duties. He
will continue, but only on a limited basis.
In June he will teach a class on “Christian Morality on a Global
Basis” during GU’s Wisdom Week.
In residence at St. John Vianney Parish, Father Skok offers Masses and
does other parish work such as preparing couples for marriage, celebrating
weddings, and funerals. He laughed
as he told about getting asked to go there.
“The Bishop asked me to make a list of parishes I might like to
serve,” he said. “When I gave
it to him, he said, ’But I want you to go to St. John Vianney.’ None of | [

Hugh Pickens writes writes: "Here's a story from a few years ago that provides an interesting footnote to a problem with the spaceflight that landed the first humans on Earth's Moon. It was around 10:00 at night on July 23, and 10-year-old Greg Force was at home with his mom and three brothers as his father, Charles Force, was at work as director of the NASA tracking station in Guam, that was about to play a critical role in the return of Apollo 11 to Earth. A powerful antenna at Guam connected NASA communications with Apollo 11, and the antenna was the only way for NASA to make its last communications with the astronauts before splashdown. But at the last minute on that night, a bearing in the antenna failed, rendering it nearly useless. To properly replace the bearing would have required dismantling the entire antenna, but Charles Force thought if he could get more grease around the failed bearing, it would probably be fine. The only problem was, nobody at the station had an arm small enough to actually reach in through the two-and-a-half inch opening so Force sent someone out to his home to pick up Greg. Greg reached into the tiny hole and packed grease around the failed bearing. It worked, and the station was able to successfully complete its communications role in the mission and Apollo 11 splashed down safely the next day. Charles Force went on to become Associate Administrator Space Operations, the number six position at NASA and was instrumental in the development of the current Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System. Greg went on to get his pilot's license, and even though his career now as a gymnastics school owner isn't exactly space-related, he says that "ever since then, I've followed the space program."" | [

Although there is no evidence of widescale problems with herbicide carryover injury to corn or soybeans this spring, Iowa State University Extension field agronomists have received a few reports. ISU Extension weed management specialist Bob Hartzler says the potential for carryover injury is determined by several factors. They include:
persistence of the herbicide
amount of rainfall following the application
interval between herbicide application and planting the rotational crop
sensitivity of the crop and early-season crop vigor
The majority of active ingredients used in Iowa are not persistent enough to pose a carryover risk, Hartzler says. Herbicide products that have half-lives sufficient to result in occasional carryover include atrazine, chlorimuron, clopryalid, cloransulam, fomesafen, imazethapyr, isoxaflutole and mesotrione. Atrazine and chlorimuron probably pose the greatest risk, particularly on soils with high pH, but most farmers have learned where and at what rates these products can be used safely.
Less time for herbicides to degrade
A high percentage of herbicide applications were made later than normal in 2019. “Combine delayed applications in 2019 with 2020’s record planting pace, and we have a reduced time frame for herbicides to degrade in the soil,” he says. “In addition, certain areas of the state experienced dry weather last summer. These factors could result in crops being suppressed by sublethal herbicide residues in some fields. With the products used today, the loss of corn or soybean stand is rare — and crops usually grow through the carryover damage relatively quickly.”
The areas of Iowa that had dry weather last summer and thus have an increased chance of herbicide carrying over to this year can be found at the Drought Monitor.
When diagnosing early-season problems in crop fields, a basic understanding of herbicide mode of action is essential to determine whether herbicides are contributing to the problem. Photos provided by Hartzler in the accompanying slideshow with this article illustrate symptoms associated with herbicide injury. He offers the following explanation of which herbicide groups to keep an eye on:
Herbicide group HG 2. These are imazethapyr, cloransulam, chlorimuron. ALS inhibitors are systemic and affect areas of rapid growth by inhibiting synthesis of amino acids. The distinct symptom of Group 2 herbicides is bottle brush roots on corn, but crop stunting and chlorosis are also associated with carryover. Symptoms can be subtle and difficult to identify.
Herbicide Group HG 4. Growth regulators such as clopyralid are systemic and mimic the activity of auxin, a plant hormone. Typical symptoms are epinasty and distorted leaf veins. Soil residues of clopyralid typically do not cause the uniform distortion of leaves associated with drift of 2,4-D or dicamba.
Herbicide Group HG 14. Fomesafen is the one PPO inhibitor herbicide that occasionally injures corn following use in soybean field the year before. While there is little movement in plants with postemergence applications of Group 14 herbicides, residues in the soil move via the xylem to photosynthetically active leaves. Symptoms are very distinctive, producing chlorosis of leaf veins and necrosis. The mid-vein may break midway in the leaf. Most users have learned to switch to other products after mid-June to reduce risks of fomesafen carryover.
Herbicide Group HG 27. Isoxaflutole and mesotrione are HPPD inhibitor herbicides that can cause chlorosis and bleaching of foliage via their activity on pigment synthesis.

#322 of 5002 1999 Discovery I
Mar 14, 2001 (3:57 pm)
I've been reading a lot about some very happy and some very unhappy Land Rover owners. I'm trading in a Jeep Wrangler and looking at a Certified Per Owned 1999 Discovery I from a dealer. It has 31,000 miles and the asking price is $25k. I'd assume there is some room for negotiation.
I've never owned anything other than an SUV and I'm familiar with the gas guzzler problems and handling inherent in the breed. It's not a car, doesn't ride like a car, and I think too many people think that SUV's are just big cars. I know that there are lemons with any make or model car, but it seems the Land Rovers have more than their fair share.
My question is: is this model Discovery more or less reliable than other model LR's (should I hold out for a 2000, 2001 or look older and cheaper)??
Is $23K-$25K an acceptable price (according to Edmunds it is)??
Bottom line: Is buying a Discovery too much of a pain in the ass???

Mar 14, 2001 (7:35 pm)
rudy0835 - I don't believe I've seen any negative comments on the 99 Disco I's on this forum or in other places. I also keep an eye out at the dealer when I stop by and count the vehicles out back for service. Lots of older DI's, but not many 99's. Then again, that could be because they switched to DII's in 99 and I'm not sure how many 99 DI's were manufactured.
Like always, take a look at the VIN history - it will provide tell-tale information and the dealer will print it for you.

"Life is short, take a chance!" If you're in love with the styling and are crazy (like most of us up here are) for the vehicle, go for it! Worst case scenario is that it doesn't meet your expectations and you trade it in for something else. But just ask rkoesler - not many other vehicles on the market have as much charm (I would argue HARD that a Mercedes GWagen has as much or more char, but too many $$) as a Disco.

Tiny particles of plastic have been found in 73 percent of fish 600 to 3,300 feet deep in the Northwest Atlantic Ocean, a study published in Frontiers in Marine Science found. These deep-sea fish could spread the toxins back to humans as they are prey for sea creatures such as tuna.
Microplastics are small particles such as clothing fibers that are less than five millimeters in diameter. These fragments flow from population centers through wastewater streams to the ocean, where they float on the surface and are consumed by deep sea fish when they rise at night to feed on plankton.
The study’s finding that nearly three out of four fish have microplastics in their stomachs represents one of the highest levels of microplastic contamination in the world’s oceans and shows that even these “seemingly remote fishes located thousands of [miles] from land and [2,000 feet] down in our ocean are not isolated from our pollution,” study co-author Tom Doyle, a marine biologist at the National University of Ireland in Galway, stated.
“It’s worrying to think that our daily activities, such as washing our synthetic clothes in our washing machines, results in billions of microplastics entering our oceans through our wastewater stream that may eventually end up in these deep sea fishes,” Dr. Doyle said.
When fish consume microplastics, they lose weight, experience inflammation, and do not feed regularly, according to the study.
Humans are at risk too. Deep-sea fish infected with microplastics are prey for other creatures humans typically eat, including tuna and swordfish.
“These microplastics often carry toxic contaminants and pose a real risk to food security and human health if they enter the human food chain via the fish that we eat,” Yvette DieiOuadi, the fishery industry officer at the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, stated to UN News.
“With an estimated 9.7 billion people to be fed by 2050, the threat of fish stocks contaminated with microplastics and their associated toxins is clear.” | [

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), having obtained my Master of Arts degree in Counseling Psychology from the University of Denver and my Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from The University of Texas at Austin. I am also a Registered Health Coach (RHC) through the Health Sciences Institute. I am a member of the American Counseling Association and the Houston LPC Association.

- Addiction Treatment
- Women’s Issues
- Help with Parenting
- Anxiety and Depression
- Eating Disorders
Since I was a child, I knew I wanted to work in a field that focused on the mind. It was not until I took psychology courses as an undergraduate that I realized that I wanted to study psychology and become a therapist. During this time, I had the pleasure of working to help open the National Dating Abuse Helpline as an advocate and crisis counselor. This work further solidified my goal; I wanted to help facilitate positive change in other people’s lives.
In Denver, I worked at Salvation Army Adult Rehabilitation Center treating substance abuse and dependence in adults. I completed my internship for graduate school at Maria Droste Counseling Center, where I worked on treating adults and children's various mental health needs.
Since graduate school, I have worked in a variety of mental health outpatient settings, including as a Therapist at IntraCare Behavioral Health treating Co-Occurring Disorders and Substance Use Disorders. Most recently I worked as a Program Therapist as part of the Wellness Department at Memorial Hermann, focused on improving employee mental health and facilitating the weight management program. I currently work part-time as a Primary Therapist at the Eating Recovery Center in The Woodlands. As a native Houstonian, it feels good to be back home and serving the community I grew up in.
I use a variety of different methods that are individualized to meet the need of each client. My therapeutic techniques are primarily based on Cognitive-Behavioral therapy (CBT), which is a short-term, goal-oriented therapeutic style that is focused on changing thought patterns or behaviors in order facilitate change. I also use a combination of Solution-Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, mindfulness, and relaxation techniques. I enjoy working with adolescents and adults experiencing a variety of obstacles, including: anxiety and mood disorders, substance use disorders, anger, relationship issues, communication issues, work and school-related problems, stress, obesity, food addiction, eating disorders, life transitions, and grief/loss.
I believe that every individual is capable of making positive changes to improve their lives. Some changes can be more difficult than others, and I believe therapy can help individuals navigate through difficulties and other stressors. My goal as a therapist lies in working to help my clients overcome obstacles and life stressors by teaching skills to improve thoughts, overall mood, and move towards healthier behaviors in order for them to meet personal goals and live healthier, more fulfilling lives.
I love using my free time to be with my friends, family, and my dog, Lola. I enjoy spending time outside on a beautiful day, going on walks with my dog, picnics in the park, exploring new museums, and playing sand volleyball throughout the week. I also enjoy traveling, food, live music, movies, and art. I am always looking forward to my next adventure!

the oil industry will move from capital constrained to labor constrained market
Houston, TX (PRWEB) October 25, 2016
Operators show signs of optimism with the West Texas Intermediate (WTI) above $50 per barrel the last two weeks in October.
According to Energent Group's report, the drilled but uncompleted (DUC) well count is rising in the major oil shale plays with 1644 DUCs in the Permian Basin, 883 in Eagle Ford, 700 in Bakken, and 530 in the DJ-Niobrara. The DUC Analysis report illustrates the inventory of wells by basin and operator.
The US Land Rig count, published by Baker Hughes, increased for the 5th straight week. The Permian Basin added 11 rigs, gaining 5.5% and Eagle Ford put 2 more rigs to work, increasing by 6.5% last week. Haynesville added 1 rig, a 6.5% increase from the previous week. The Cana Woodford, Marcellus, Williston, and Utica were unchanged. DJ-Niobrara released 1 rig, a decline of 5.6%. 84% of rigs, 438, are drilling horizontal wells.
Yet, many of these horizontal wells will not be completed until operators work through the backlog of drilled but uncompleted (DUCs) wells.
With oil above $50 per bbl and natural gas near $3.00 mcf, the industry will move from capital constrained to labor constrained market. Over 350,000 people were laid off globally during the last two years, according to Graves & Co. report and many of those laid off service company workers left the industry entirely.
Drilling rig crews and hydraulic fracture crews require extensive training and screening before going back to work. One drilling rig may require 4 to 6 weeks to staff appropriately. A frac crew (or frac spread) may only require 2 to 4 weeks. As commodity prices recover, operators will need additional frac crews in each shale play to reduce the DUC backlog. Energent Group's frac crew forecast illustrates a rising DUC count until 2017 for the Permian Basin.
Analysts are bullish on oil and natural gas for 2017 since shale producers are able to drill and complete wells economically at lower prices. However, operators and service companies must address the labor constraints in the market in order to bring back crews for the long term.
About Energent Group
Energent Group is a market research firm focused on well life-cycle & frac market intelligence. We help sales & marketing teams commercialize new products, work with up-to-date operator data, & track well completions in top U.S. shale plays: Texas (Eagle Ford, Permian, Wolfcamp, Bone Spring), North Dakota (Bakken), Colorado (Niobrara), Oklahoma (Woodford, SCOOP) and more.

FBL Financial Group, the parent company of Farm Bureau Financial Services, reported a first quarter profit of $16.6 million, a 34 percent decline from the same period last year.
The company, which employs about 1,000 people in West Des Moines, said operating income — the amount of money the company makes excluding one-time gains and losses — was up 6 percent to $19.9 million.
“I am pleased to report a good start to 2012 as we execute our capital management plans and further focus on our Farm Bureau niche market,” said James Hohmann, the company’s chief executive, in a statement.
FBL repurchased 3.2 million shares of stock during the first quarter for $112.8 million. The company has downsized since it agreed in October to sell a major subsidiary, EquiTrust Life Insurance Co., to a Chicago equity firm for $440 million in cash. FBL had been selling annuities and life insurance nationally through the company since 2003, using independent agents and marketing organizations.
Total premiums collected in the first quarter fell 4 percent to $190.2 million. Farm Bureau Life grew premiums by 9 percent. Annuity premiums fell 8 percent, as the company suspended certain annuity products due to low interest rates.
The company’s stock fell 49 cents to $28.09 per share at market close Thursday. | [

Massy Rainbow Cup 2015 was an awesome experience & I am looking forward to the 2016 edition.The host Jason Gooding and his team did a fabulous job.
This was my first overseas Triathlon [regional & international].
Outbound, Barbados → St Vincent (In-transit) → Trinidad →Tobago.Followed by the reverse for the inbound trip. Inbound trip took longer than expected due to delayed flights.
I spent a day & night in Trinidad, did some touring, met up with some friends, enjoyed some local cuisine[sold by weight] and took a jog around the historical Queens Park Savannah.
By the time I got to Tobago, there was limited day-light left so I was only able to reassemble the cycle and check out the race on-land course [Cycle & Run].
Race day: At 4:30 am I arose from my slumber with thanksgiving to God. I ate some oats, watermelon & cheese at approximately 5am.
Race started at 7:02 am with a blistering pace, head-on into some choppy waves in disguised shallow waters. I recognized my worst swim split in the sprint distance to date, heading to the first transition[T1] some 4 mins behind the first pack.
I began to smartly hammer the bike course which had four (4) hills/inclines. I managed to catch up a few persons who got away in the 1st leg (swim).
On entering T2, the first pack was already some 1km – 1.2km on the run course & I was in approximately 9th position.
As I began the run course, my focus was to catch as many persons as possible. By the half way point [2.5km], I had already passed five (5) persons to sit in 4th position. Then came alongside me was the runner of a relay team and we began to battle it out[repeatedly overtaking each other]. I managed to get away from him during the last 700m [0.70km] of the race, which brought me to 14 seconds behind 3rd place finisher [sprint distance triathlon], who was a three times Carifta gold medalist – namely “Mark London”.
Transitions: both T1 & T2 [transition 1 & transition 2]were bad because I began to exit them [transitions] via the wrong route so I had to turn around and go to the correct one.
Finish line: At the finish I felt good, strong and well worked. I was wondering what my official position was because the course was so crowded which made it possible for me to have calculated my placement incorrectly.A few minutes after the results were posted and I learnt that I came 4th and would be on the podium, I felt extremely good because I achieved my benchmark!
I felt so good that I registered for the 5km road race which was scheduled to start a few hours after the triathlon finish time. I completed that 5km road race in 6th overall and received 1st place age group prize.
Post-Race: After the race, I indulged myself in a massage as well as some good nutrition [fruits etc.], I also did an interview with the media and took some photos.
After the races [triathlon & road race], I attended an after-race social, where I got the chance to chat with other competitors. Afterwards, I spent some time back at the resort contemplating on how I can improve my swimming *smile*, while Some of the competitors and organizers went to the club for a party.
- Locally: My next Triathlon is Barbados National Championship on October 4th 2015
- Overseas: I was invited to Grenada [TriDeSpice] which is scheduled for the week after Easter of 2016.
Provided that everything goes well by God’s grace I will be on those start lines.
Appreciation: A hearty thanks to my premium sponsor forever Health &Fitness, as well as everyone who supported me.

Wow another year and what have you got to show for it? Don’t look on the outside because the real results are hidden within.
There may be progress on the outside too but it is nothing compared to the inner knowledge and experience gained. Every single person who has existed this year has done some great travelling and now is the time to survey the scenery.
Stop. Breathe. Feel into your heart. Smile. Let out a large sigh.
Relax as you are exactly where you need to be right now.
All you have to do to get the gold is to accept it and soften into the experience of life which is unfolding right in front of you because you are who you are inside. Take this knowing into your days ahead and give yourself permission to enjoy a little more than usual.
Beauty awaits you dear friends. | [

St Andrew's Church is a community of ordinary people of all ages, nationalities and walks of life who gather as a church in North Oxford and then disperse across the city. We are committed to having our own lives transformed by Jesus – and to seeing the communities in which we live and work transformed by Him.
We are part of the Church of England and welcome all. Whether you are already a follower of Christ, exploring who Jesus is, or just want to find a community that listens and cares – there is a place for you to thrive.
Our Sunday services vary a bit in style, but in each one, the Bible will be read and preached as God's Word. You can listen to our recorded sermons online — but do come and visit us on a Sunday! Everyone is welcome – and we love having children and young people as a big part of our church family.
We gather for prayer weekly and seek to love and impact our wider community — many of us volunteer with local charities and support mission in Oxford and beyond. All because we want to see lives transformed by Jesus.
Explore our website and please don’t hesitate to contact us.
For a brief summary of church life at St Andrew’s, take a look at our 2021 snapshot review.
Our values reflect key characteristics of Jesus himself. We believe these values are what marks us out as a church family – they are St Andrew’s at our best, what we aspire to be, and to celebrate.
We are generous with one another and with the communities in which we live and serve. To see lives transformed by Jesus will mean that we see lives of audacious generosity in the church.
We are undefended, honest and vulnerable before God and before one another in order that we might help one another on the journey of faith, and so that the work of God’s grace in our lives might be clearly shown. We help others on their journey with God by seeing how He has helped us.
Our house groups are one of the key spaces where we can show courageous vulnerability.
As Jesus served us, so we are called to serve one another and we do so without discrimination. We recognise that determination in service is the call of Christ on His people and we gratefully build on what God has already done through His people in this place. We seek to serve so that our legacy will, by God’s grace, be positive for those that follow.
Our priorities help us to focus our activity in such a way that we might see lives transformed by Jesus. We aim for all our ministries and activities to result in developing leaders, growing churches and transforming communities.
We are led by Jesus, the Chief Shepherd, and we exercise leadership under him, at every age and stage of our lives as we live for Him.
We identify, recruit, develop and invest in godly leadership across all ages and stages inside the church, and actively promote godly leadership outside the church. We are a training church for those pursuing church leadership; and invest in leadership programmes for young people and for adults to help our discipleship and the way that we show faith in everyday life.
We know that Jesus builds His church. We prioritise growth in depth and breadth at St Andrew’s.
We are privileged to work with neighbouring parishes to see a new church growing in Cutteslowe (an estate to the north of St Andrew’s). Find out more about Cutteslowe Connected Church, its mission and its partnership with St Andrew’s. Our desire is to be a church with the DNA to plant other churches and to resource other churches in the locality where we can use the gifts God has given us to bless others.
We love to see whole communities transformed by the Gospel of Christ. Many of us volunteer with or support charities and mission in Oxford and beyond.
We seek to transform communities by leading people to know Jesus as Lord and Saviour and by practically demonstrating Christ’s love for the world. At the heart of transformed communities are transformed people so we provide groups and courses that help people to live positive lives in the community regardless of their approach to faith. We use our facilities and our finances to show the love of Jesus. We partner with charities and organisations that are committed to the long term flourishing of the city and the world. We seek to find opportunities to innovate with key partners to transform communities locally and internationally. | [

Cape Cod Sweet Mesquite Barbeque Potato Chips
Taste test: These kettle-cooked chips had a lot of color to them, a deep and dark orange, with additional darker flecks of flavoring.
There was enough powder on the chips to leave residue on my fingers. The chips were very crunchy, and a lot of that crunch took away from tasting the barbecue flavor, which wasn't very bold or over-the-top (despite all of the powder). There was definitely a hint of sweetness on the barbecue, but less mesquite or smokiness than I expected. Overall this was a pretty safe barbecue taste, especially if you prefer sweet barbecue flavor rather than smokey or spicy.
Shop: Buy potato chips on Amazon #ad
Smell test: There was a barbecue smell, but it was a deeper aroma rather than a barbecue sauce-like smell. But it didn't seem to smell like wood smoke or mesquite either.
From the package: “Thank you for buying our very special Sweet Mesquite Barbecue Potato Chips. To create our newest recipe, we blended unique all natural ingredients into a full-bodied barbeque flavor that complements our crunchy chips. Tomatoes, onions and a blend of natural spices are combined with mesquite wood smoke creating the perfect robust barbeque recipe. With each crunchy bite, you'll experience savory sweetness with just a hint of mesquite smoke.”

A worldwide-accepted technique to protect steel lattice girders with welded hollow sections against corrosion is the hot-dip galvanizing process. In this process, vent holes are required in braces to fill the inner part protecting them from corrosion, to allow the immersion of the structure in the zinc bath and to recover the excess fluid after the bath. The cross-section reduction due to the vent hole could lead to a decrease in the effective brace resistance / this is not easily quantified, because there are neither prescriptions nor recommendations in the design codes to assess this effect. Therefore, the hollow structural sections could be underutilized due to doubts regarding the safety of this type of joint. This research was conducted in order to categorize different geometries and positions of vent holes in order to determine the best in terms of joint efficiency. A validated finite element model considering welds on lattice girders joints was extended to take into account different vent hole shapes. This research concludes that the presence of ventilation holes such as the ones considered in this study does not significantly affect the joint resistance, and that all the analyzed hole shapes could be proposed as a valid solution for machining vent holes. The conclusions drawn up from this work could be useful for structural steel designers, providing them with valuable design recommendations. | [

Google is one step closer to achieving its goal of delivering a vehicle that carries passengers from point A to point B at the push of a button, effectively shouldering the burden of driving. This summer, prototype cars will roll off the test track and hit the roads of Mountain View, California, with safety drivers on board. That fleet has gone through rigorous testing, logging nearly a nearly a million autonomous road miles on the roads since the start of the project. More recently, the cars have self-driving about 10,000 miles a week. According to Google, it's the equivalent of about 75 years of typical American adult driving experience. The cars' top speed will be capped at 25 mph, and the safety drivers will avail themselves to a removable steering wheel, accelerator pedal and brake pedal in the event they have to take over. | [

EFFINGHAM — The Province Lake Association, in partnership with state and local water quality agencies, recently kicked off a watershed management program to improve lake quality.
According to PLA project coordinator Carl Davis, over the past few years the lake has experienced extensive, lingering blooms of potentially toxic algae. In addition, the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services has listed the lake as "impaired" due to high phosphorus and chlorophyll counts.
Province Lake has a surface area of 1,008 acres and is set within a 7.3 mile watershed located in Wakefield and Effingham, as well as in Parsonsfield, Maine.
The lake flows to the Saco River watershed and is drained by the South River to the northwest, Davis said.
The watershed plan will identify sources of pollution, propose solutions and promote public involvement in the planning and restoration process.
The process will include reviewing lake water quality data, pollution modeling, field surveys and identification of opportunities to fix pollution sources. Once gathered, this information will be used to develop site-specific recommendations for practices, projects and programs that can be implemented at the local level to improve water quality.
Additionally, the PLA is working with the University of New Hampshire and the town of Wakefield to design and install innovative storm water treatment practices to remove pollution from stormwater runoff. The treatment devices, to be constructed next summer, will be located near the lake where they will be visible as examples of what future pollution control projects would look like as the plan moves forwards.
The PLA will host meetings this summer to promote local involvement in the plan and gather input. The group is working with the Acton Wakefield Watersheds Alliance, FB Environmental Associates, the towns of Wakefield and Effingham, the town of Parsonsfield, Maine, the Green Mountain Conservation Group, the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services, the Maine Department of Environmental Protection and many other local volunteers to develop the plan.

The Buenos Aires City Tourist Board has joined the International Network of Sustainable Tourism Observatories (INSTO), an initiative from the World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO) that aims to help destinations manage tourism in an intelligent and sustainable way.
Joining INSTO will help Buenos Aires' tourism observatory to better monitor the local environmental and social impact of tourism. Data gathered by the observatory will be used to reinforce the sustainability of the tourism sector in the city and will help guide policy and decision making.
Gonzalo Robredo, president of the Buenos Aires City Tourist Board, said: “By joining INSTO we reinforce our commitment to maximise the benefits of tourism activity in the city of Buenos Aires, not only from an economic perspective but also highlighting the cultural, social and environmental dimensions.”
Zurab Pololikashvili, general secretary of the UNWTO, said: "This latest member of the INSTO – and the first in Argentina – brings the total number of member observatories to 30. The City of Buenos Aires once again shows its commitment to responsible and sustainable tourism. Thanks to the observatory's pioneering work, Buenos Aires has an empirical base as the focus for its tourism policy and I am sure that our newest member will contribute positively to this continually growing network."
Federico Esper, general director of market intelligence and observatory, said: "We are proud to become members of this network, which presents us with interesting challenges for the future to improve how we measure sustainable tourism in the city. We will strengthen our Tourism Intelligence System with new qualitative studies and tools orientated to a more global understanding of the impact of this activity in Buenos Aires".
About the INSTO
The UNWTO's International Network of Sustainable Tourism Observatories (INSTO) was created in 2004. Through the application of technology and the data generated, which is key for the formulation of tourism policy, members of the INSTO reinforce not only the local capacity for decision making and the sustainability of each destination, but also contribute through relevant empirical data to the fulfillment of international commitments such as the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
About the Buenos Aires Tourism Observatory
The Buenos Aires Tourism Observatory generates market intelligence to orientate decision making in the public and private sector, boosting tourism as a strategic sector for the economic and social development of the city. It publishes periodic reports with indicators that allow the projection of future tendencies and applies Big Data tecniques to analyse new sources of information and better understand the environment and carries out qualitative investigations on the behaviour of the main tourism segments and markets. | [

Soil is one of the most important materials used in a variety of construction projects.Clay soil is widely used in most of the construction projects. Soils particularly soft clay soils have good plastic properties so that increased moisture their by decreased shear strength and compressive strength. Due to these reasons there is a huge chance of failures on various projects, because of these reasons soil improvement is done In the present work experimental investigation has been carried out to study the effect of bagasse ash and borassus flabellifer fibre on clayey soil. The soil is treated with different percentage of bagasse ash and borassusflabellifer fibre and optimum percentage is found out. Then varying percentage of borassus flabellifer fibre is added to the soil with optimum percentage of bagasse ash. The main objective of this study is to determine the strength behaviour of soil reinforced with fibre.

We had the perfect component for a discussion after First Man. Half of us loved the film and the other half were less enthusiastic, some finding the technical aspects baffling. We also talked about the Tom Hanks film Apollo 13. Some of us felt this film was more compelling and gripping, compared to the restraint of First Man.
We agreed that the film depicted the remarkable technological achievement of getting to the Moon very faithfully. The low tech nature of the achievement was noticed – the entire flight computer memory on the module had a capacity of 32 kilobytes, less than the size of a single email.
The film also reflected the theme of loss and its impact. The first three Apollo astronauts were killed in an explosion atop the launch pad. This scene is very moving and showed the incredible risk of space travel. As one of our group said, the astronauts were, “in a capsule on top of a bomb.”
We appreciated the immersive sound which completely engaged us in the action. Sunnyside Hall was vibrating along with the spacecraft! The ghostly high-pitched theremin soundtrack was awarded a Golden Globe. The film’s design was so accurate that some of us didn’t realise the stunning scenes on the Moon didn’t include original footage. The cabin’s claustrophobia was well conveyed, contrasted with Chris Hadfield’s very free movements in the Space Oddity short film, filmed aboard the International Space Station.
What was dramatic licence - did Neil Armstrong really take his late daughter’s bracelet to the Moon? We agreed that the film communicates Armstrong’s stoicism and emotional detachment. He did indeed go straight back to work after the tragic death of his daughter. The night before he leaves for the Moon mission, we see him single-mindedly packing rather than choosing to talk to his children to say goodbye. His son was later to share that his mother always said, “Silence is Neil’s answer.”
Although a few of us were no great fans of Ryan Gosling in La La Land (director Damien Chazelle’s film as well), we had to admit that the actor’s portrayal of Armstrong hit the spot. Fifty years on, there is still awe and wonder at seeing the ‘one small step.’ Despite our criticisms of the film, that representation of the world-changing moment did not disappoint at all. | [

Can you live in Chernobyl now?
Today it is still illegal to live inside the exclusion zone.
Despite this, about 130 to 150 people do.
Many are women, still farming their ancestral land in their 70s and 80s.
And just outside of the exclusion zone, there are a number of new arrivals..
Did any of the firefighters survive Chernobyl?
Vasily Ignatenko was just 25 when he succumbed to slow death via radiation poisoning after fighting the fires of Chernobyl.
Did Chernobyl Cause Birth Defects?
Children are still being born with severe birth defects and rare types of cancer in areas near to Chernobyl, according to a British charity, three decades on from the world’s worst civil nuclear disaster.
Is Chernobyl elephant’s foot?
The Elephant’s Foot is the nickname given to a large mass of corium and other materials formed during the Chernobyl disaster in April 1986 and presently located in a steam distribution corridor underneath the remains of the reactor. It was discovered in December 1986.
Is Chernobyl really abandoned?
Chernobyl (/tʃɜːrˈnoʊbəl/, UK: /tʃɜːrˈnɒbəl/), also known as Chornobyl (Ukrainian: Чорнобиль, romanized: Chornobyl’; German: Tschornobyl or Tschernobyl; Polish: Czarnobyl), is a partially abandoned city in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, situated in the Ivankiv Raion of northern Kyiv Oblast, Ukraine.
How many Chernobyl roof workers died?
According to Vyacheslav Grishin of the Chernobyl Union, the main organization of liquidators, “25,000 of the Russian liquidators are dead and 70,000 disabled, about the same in Ukraine, and 10,000 dead in Belarus and 25,000 disabled”, which makes a total of 60,000 dead (10% of the 600,000 liquidators) and 165,000 …
Is Chernobyl reactor 4 still burning?
Early in the morning of April 26, 1986, the fourth reactor exploded at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Ukraine. 34 years later, Chernobyl radioactivity is still circulating. They are now the biggest fires ever recorded in the Chernobyl exclusion zone. …
Why did Valery hang himself?
David R. Marples has suggested that the adversity of the Chernobyl disaster on Legasov’s psychological state was the factor that led to his decision to die by suicide. Before his suicide, Legasov wrote documents revealing previously undisclosed facts about the catastrophe.
How did Chernobyl victims die?
There is consensus that a total of approximately 30 men died from immediate blast trauma and acute radiation syndrome (ARS) in the seconds to months after the disaster, respectively, with 60 in total in the decades hence, inclusive of later radiation induced cancer.
How many people did Chernobyl kill?
31 peopleDeaths from Chernobyl 31 people died as a direct result of the Chernobyl accident; two died from blast effects and a further 29 firemen died as a result of acute radiation exposure (where acute refers to infrequent exposure over a short period of time) in the days which followed.
What did Chernobyl get wrong?
The Chernobyl accident in 1986 was the result of a flawed reactor design that was operated with inadequately trained personnel. The resulting steam explosion and fires released at least 5% of the radioactive reactor core into the environment, with the deposition of radioactive materials in many parts of Europe.
Is the Chernobyl reactor still hot?
The corium of the Elephant’s Foot might not be as active as it was, but it’s still generating heat and still melting down into the base of Chernobyl. … The Elephant’s Foot will cool over time, but it will remain radioactive and (if you were able to touch it) warm for centuries to come.

History Of Dell Boomi:
Boomi was founded in 2000, beginning with “configuration-based” integration. Boomi have introduced Technology which allows all its users to build and deploy integration processes using a visual interface and a drag and drop technique. This interface remains as one of the key elements of the current Boomi platform.
In 2007 Boomi released a technology which is now known as “AtomSphere”. It was the first integration cloud in the industry. AtomSphere technology has kept visual, point and click interface for building the intergrations and they can also be managed through a simple browser-based User Interface.
On November 2, 2010, Boomi announced its acquisition by Dell. Dell boomi is a business unit which is acquired by dell in 2010. It spezializes in cloud based integration,API management and master data management.
By February 2018, researchers of Dell Boomi suggested that “86% of IT decision makers believe becoming a more connected business would mean revenue growth for their organisation over the course of one year”. Dell Boomi was selected as its integration-platform-as-a-service solution.
What is Dell Boomi?
Dell Boomi AtomSphere is an on-demand multi-tenant cloud integration platform for connecting cloud and on-premises applications and data. The platform enables customers to design cloud-based integration processes called Atoms and transfer data between cloud and on-premises applications. Each Atom defines what is necessary for the integration.
Dell Boomi have released a new version which offers several new features, including a Crowd-sourcing testing option called Boomi Assure. Another feature is “bulk-copy”, it allows organizations to load large volumes of data into a database and increase the number of integration projects which can be managed centerally. Applications which are supported by AtomSphere range from small business to enterprise class products. Boomi Atom can handle very large volumes, upwards of 1,000,000 records an hour.
How does Boomi differ from an Application Programming Interface (API)?
Initially, API opens up secure access to data in an application which does not accomplish the integration itself. An API is like an electrical socket – until something is plugged into it, it just sits there.
Boom integration Connectors are like “plugs”. Boomi Connectors plugs into and API and then abstract the technical details of the API and finally transports protocols that are used to communicate with various applications and data sources, which allows you to focus on the business data and logic of the integration. A Connector is a combination of two Components: a Connection and Operation. Think of the Connection as the where and the Operation as the how. These two components determine the type of data source, how to physically connect to it, and what type of data records to exchange.
Pre-Requisites for Dell Boomi:
Anyone who have basic IT skills can join Dell Boomi Online Training with us.
Career with Dell Boomi:
In Cloud industry,Dell Boomi is one of the fastest growing and most successful companies. The typical roles that utilize AtomSphere would include Systems Analyst, Application Administrator, or Business Process Engineer. By the end of this Dell Boomi online training you will be able to crack interviews and find a job.

The American Heart Association reports that adults who are older than 65 have a 20 percent reduced chance of avoiding all-cause death. That’s a pretty significant difference. While I don’t want to take away from the fact that most of us are at a higher risk of developing heart disease and stroke, it’s a reminder that we can make a difference by being mindful of our heart health.
The American Heart Association reports that overall quality of life is improved for seniors living alone. While quality of life is only one piece of the puzzle, it’s certainly a start.
We all know that as we age our health declines, so the question of whether we should be living alone or not becomes an important one. Of course, not all of us will find this question to be an important one, especially those of us who feel more comfortable living with others. However, it is a question that can be answered with a bit of effort. One of the most important aspects is to find out what you can do to improve your health and quality of life.
The good news is that the health and quality of life changes over the course of your life. There is a lot of evidence that shows that living in a small house, having a low income, or being a middle-aged person can increase your risk of developing Alzheimer’s Disease. The bad news is that the good news is that there are many things you can do to reduce your risk of developing Alzheimer’s Disease.
The good news is that the bad news: There is some evidence that certain things you can do can reduce your risk of developing Alzheimers Disease. The bad news is that the good news is that this can be hard to do because there are so many factors that increase your risk. One of our favorite blogs is The Alzheimer’s Association’s blog, which discusses many of these things.
Another resource we really like is the Alzheimers Disease Association, a blog run by the Alzheimer’s Disease Society. It has a lot of information about treatment, as well as a few useful guides to help with Alzheimers and dementia. The Alzheimers Disease Association also have a YouTube channel, that has a lot of videos about Alzheimer’s, dementia, and other related topics.
We found a really great site called Alzheimers Disease Research Center. It is a research organization in a part of the world where Alzheimers is not 100% common, so it really does have a lot of good information.
On the other hand, the YouTube channel is just a great resource for the Alzheimers disease. We had some good links for Alzheimers, but so was some of the other videos. We also came up with some interesting advice for people with Alzheimers. We found a resource called Alzheimers.com that is really helpful for people who have the disease.
You know what? We think this is an interesting topic to discuss. We actually did a quick search on Alzheimers.com and discovered that there’s a lot of Alzheimers information out there, and not just on the web. We came up with a list of Alzheimers resources that we really enjoyed. We’ll definitely be talking about this topic with other Alzheimers sufferers as we continue to research this disorder.
The number of Alzheimers sufferers that we found is staggering. Many of them are known to be very healthy with little to no signs of addiction or mood disturbance. But we found out that one of the symptoms of Alzheimers is that a person with Alzheimers is actually getting fat and is becoming obese. But the body’s energy stores are very small; how much energy does it store in the brain and body? This is a very interesting topic. | [

A Republican senator on Wednesday blocked passage of a bill that would have established federal protections of assisted reproductive technologies such as in vitro fertilization.
Democratic Sen. Tammy Duckworth of Illinois had moved to pass the Access to Family Building Act, which would “prohibit the limitation of access to assisted reproductive technology” in the United States, by unanimous consent. Unanimous consent is a way for senators to pass bills quickly, without the need for a roll-call vote.
However, it takes just one senator objecting in order for unanimous consent to fail. Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith of Mississippi objected, dooming the legislation.
Duckworth tried to pass her legislation after the Alabama Supreme Court ruled on Feb. 16 that embryos have the legal status of children. That ruling has led fertility clinics in the state to put a pause on IVF treatments in fear that they could face criminal penalties if they discard embryos.
IVF is an assisted reproductive technology in which doctors harvest mature eggs from the ovaries, fertilize them with sperm to make embryos, and then transplant one or more of those embryos into a uterus in the hope that one will implant and be carried to term.
Multiple embryos are created during the IVF process, even if a patient wants only one child. The embryos created are genetically tested, and if some are found to be nonviable, they may then be discarded, as patients do not wish to undergo an invasive and costly procedure to transplant an embryo that either would not implant or would but would create a pregnancy that would later end in miscarriage.
Duckworth had tried to pass the Access to Family Building Act in December 2022, after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the landmark Roe v. Wade case that had affirmed the constitutional right to an abortion. Democrats and reproductive rights activists worried that IVF would wind up in the crosshairs of abortion bans that Republican legislators could legally pass after Roe was reversed. Hyde-Smith blocked the passage of that version of the bill as well.
In the wake of the Alabama ruling, Duckworth tried again to pass the bill, and along with Democratic co-sponsors Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin, Patty Murray of Washington, and Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota, called for Republicans to “live up to the words that they’re saying, to not block it.”
But some Republican senators questioned whether Duckworth’s bill was necessary.
Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) told Politico that Duckworth’s bill was unnecessary and that he is “not at all” worried about access to IVF treatments in other states.
It’s not clear what will happen with Duckworth’s bill now. Democrats could put it up for a full vote by the Senate, putting all Republican senators on record with their votes.
Democrats say they will hammer Republicans in 2024 election campaigns for their support for personhood legislation, which would declare that life begins at conception and could lead to restrictions on the practice of IVF.
“Thanks to MAGA extremism, the United States is now an embarrassment to the world when it comes to reproductive freedom. Republicans own the consequences,” Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) tweeted after Hyde-Smith blocked the IVF bill’s passage. “Democrats will not stop fighting for IVF, for women’s health care, for reproductive freedom.”
“The [Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee] remains fully committed to supporting candidates who will stand up for our freedoms and our families, and holding Republicans accountable for doing the opposite with their extreme anti-abortion stances,” DCCC Chair Suzan DelBene said in a statement. “Come November, we’ll take back the House of Representatives to enshrine the protections of Roe once and for all.”
A new poll from Axios-Ipsos, taken between Feb. 23-25, found that 66% of Americans oppose considering frozen embryos as people and holding Alabama’s ruling that finds frozen embryos to be people, and that those who destroy frozen embryos are legally responsible. | [

You're currently reading an archived version of Jim Hightower's work.
The latest (and greatest?) observations from Jim Hightower are only now available at our Substack website. Join us there!
So great is the regard of the law for private property, that it will not authorize the least violation of it; no, not even for the common good of the whole community. —Sir William Blackstone, 18th century British jurist who greatly influenced the writers of the US Constitution
As British playwright and political agitator George Bernard Shaw noted, “You don’t make progress by standing on guard, but by attacking, and getting well-hammered yourself.”
That certainly has been true of US progressives. We never could advance our people’s “small-d” democratic goals by idly hoping the established powers will do it for us. After all, they’re the ones doing it to us–imposing plutocratic rule to increase their fortunes at our expense. Rather, it is audacious American rebels who’ve incrementally advanced our democratic possibilities by defying the repressive laws of the authoritarian order.
In fact, Protest is us! And it ain’t beanbag. The history of US democracy is the story of fed-up, gutsy people engaged in wave after wave of confrontation with haughty corporate, political, and social powers that forcibly suppress our democratic will. Because of that suppression, effective public protest is not for the meek. By its nature, it is disobedient, passionate, aggressive, disruptive, and sometimes bloody. That’s the price of progress.
Enjoying Hightower's work? Join us over at our new home on Substack:
Indeed, there would be no USA if outraged colonials had merely sent missives to King George saying, Please stop doing these bad things to us. Consider a historic protest we now celebrate as a glorious, seminal moment in our opposition to British autocracy: the Boston Tea Party. In 1773, Sam Adams and an audacious band of Massachusetts rebels clambered aboard three British East India Company trading ships moored in Boston Harbor. Rebelling against an English decree giving that corporation monopoly power over tea imports to America, Adams and other “Sons of Liberty” illegally trespassed on the corporate property, seized its cargo of 342 chests of tea, and hurled them into the harbor.
It was an act of constructive destruction and iconic defiance of plutocratic authority, which rallied public support and helped spark the American Revolution. Most significantly, it set an ethical standard for legitimate protest in our country that for generations since has guided abolitionists, suffragists, unionists, populists, immigrants, feminists, environmentalists, and other democracy activists. Protest is fully ingrained in the American character.
Suspending the right to protest
Add to America’s panorama of momentous protests another dramatic action: On September 12, 2019, a team of bold environmental advocates literally put their lives on the line to confront the global crisis of industrially induced climate change. You might not have heard about it, for their protest was barely noticed by the purveyors of mass media, who were busy chasing the latest nonsensical tweets of the artful dodger in the White House. Yet it certainly ranks as a captivating, and still unfolding, story of principled dissent.
The action involved 22 Greenpeace USA activists from 13 states and the District of Columbia. Using static lines attached to a huge bridge, 11 of the activists suspended themselves 150 feet above the Houston Ship Channel and shut down Big Oil’s largest US outlet for climate-destroying petrochemicals. The dangling protesters closed the channel, halting oil tankers owned by the likes of the Exxon and Shell et al. that move 700,000 barrels of oil every day from the second-largest refinery complex in the US. Some 18 hours passed before, as reported by KHOU-TV news, an over-the-top cluster of police power–including riot-clad sheriff officers, FBI agents, members of the Coast Guard, local fire departments, and the Texas Department of Transportation–was able to arrest the activists.
There is an even deeper story, however, for the action brought to light an especially devious effort by establishment autocrats to repress our people’s fundamental freedom to dissent against corporate abuse. Soon after their arrests, the intrepid climate defenders found themselves suspended in an even more precarious way: Their First Amendment freedoms of speech and assembly were subverted by a new, little-known law passed at the behest of the very same corporate powers they had dared to protest.
Unbeknownst to the general public (and still largely undiscovered by national media), oil giants and other multinational corporations have quietly colluded with the legislators and governors they’ve purchased. Together, they’ve rammed through a series of autocratic state laws | [

The (Illegal) Private Bus System that Works
October 11, 2011
Privately-owned mini-transit entrepreneurs, such as the dollar van fleet, are giving people alternative ways to get around and are creating jobs, says The Atlantic.
- In Brooklyn, almost all of the dollar vans are Ford E350s, with a high body and side doors and enough seats in the back to hold 14 people.
- At $2 a ride, one operator needs to get 14 people in the van on the 5.6 mile trip from downtown Brooklyn to King's Highway to turn a profit.
While some people worry that dollar vans pick up passengers who would otherwise ride the bus, dollar vans seem to complement the bus service. Their advantages include being a lot faster than public transit and van drivers waiting for regular riders to arrive.
However, the service is technically illegal. While most its operators are fully licensed, insured and have proper inspection for their vehicles, the vans are prohibited from doing the one thing they really do -- picking up passengers off the street
- In 1993, New York outlawed dollar vans entirely.
- It took the intervention of some activist van owners with the help of the Institute for Justice to get them legalized.
What's interesting about dollar vans is that they could gravitate to where the riders are and where they want to go faster than public transit, which requires more infrastructure and meetings. In some cities, bus routes have histories going back decades, and they don't change to reflect how people's lives and work habits have changed.

Currently available methods for the detection of matrix effects in liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS) are tedious and complex; therefore, a simpler method is required. Although there are no methods to completely eliminate matrix effects, the most well-recognized technique available to correct for matrix effects is that of internal standardization using stable isotope–labeled versions of the analytes. As this method can prove expensive, an alternative method of correction is likely to be useful. In this study, a simple method based on recovery is assessed for the detection of matrix effects. Two alternative methods for the rectification of matrix effects in LC–MS are also assessed: standard addition and the coeluting internal standard method.
High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled to mass spectrometry (MS) has become the predominant analytical method for the quantitative determination of analytes in biological matrices because of its high specificity, sensitivity, and throughput (1–3). However, matrix effects have become a major concern in quantitative liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS) because they detrimentally affect the accuracy, reproducibility, and sensitivity (3). Matrix effects occur when compounds that are coeluted with the analyte interfere with the ionization process in the MS detector, thereby causing ionization suppression or enhancement (2–7). Compounds with high mass, polarity, and basicity are possible candidates to cause matrix effects (4–8). However, the mechanisms involved in matrix effects have not been fully explored. One of the proposed theories to explain matrix effects is that the coelution of interfering compounds, especially basic compounds, may deprotonate and neutralize the analyte ions and, thus, reduce the formation of protonated analyte ions (2,4). Another theory postulates that less-volatile compounds may affect the efficiency of droplet formation and reduce the ability of charged droplets to convert into gas-phase ions (2–4,8). In addition, matrix effects may also be caused by high viscosity interfering compounds that could possibly increase the surface tension of the charged droplets and reduce the efficiency of droplet evaporation (2,4,6).
Several methods have been proposed for the detection and assessment of matrix effects, including postextraction spike and postcolumn infusion methods. The postextraction spike method evaluates matrix effects by comparing the signal response of an analyte in neat mobile phase with the signal response of an equivalent amount of the analyte in the blank matrix sample spiked post-extraction. The difference in response determines the extent of matrix effect (2,3,9). The major drawback of this method is that for endogenous analytes such as metabolites (for example, creatinine) blank matrix (urine or plasma) is not available. The postcolumn infusion method assesses matrix effects qualitatively. A constant flow of analyte is infused into the HPLC eluent, followed by injection of the blank sample extract. A variation in signal response of the infused analyte caused by coeluted interfering compounds indicates ionization suppression or enhancement (3,10). By identifying the ionization suppression or enhancement regions of the chromatogram, analytical methods can be developed to eliminate matrix effects by preventing the elution of the analyte peak in regions where matrix effects occur. However, the process of postcolumn infusion is time consuming and requires additional hardware, and it is not appropriate for multianalyte samples. Considering these drawbacks of existing methods, we propose a simple, fast, and reliable method to detect matrix effects that can be applied to any analyte including endogenous compounds such as creatinine and to any matrix without requiring any additional hardware.To obtain accurate and reliable LC–MS data, several methods have been suggested to reduce or eliminate matrix effects. Matrix effects can be reduced simply by injecting small amounts of samples or by diluting samples (11,12). However, this approach can only be feasible when the sensitivity of the assay is very high (12). Methods to reduce or eliminate matrix effects include optimizing sample preparation to remove interfering compounds from the samples (1,9,10,13), changing chromatographic parameters to avoid coelution of analytes and interfering compounds (4,14–17), and changing MS conditions to reduce the occurrence of matrix effects in the ion source. However, these methods are not without their limitations. Most of the sample cleanup methods fail to remove impurities that are similar to the analyte and, hence, likely to be coeluted with the analyte (11,18). Modifying chromatographic conditions can be time-consuming, and some of the additives used in the mobile phase to improve separation have been found to suppress the electrospray signal of the analytes (3,4,9,15). Furthermore, even when the sample is devoid of coeluted substances, trace impurities present in the mobile phase can significantly suppress the analyte peak (19).
It is clear from the above that matrix effects in LC–MS cannot be completely eliminated. Therefore, the only option available is the rectification of data to eliminate the matrix effects. Calibration techniques such as the external-matched standards method, the echo-peak technique, | [

Process automation & Quality control
Automated processes are increasingly replacing time-consuming and error-prone manual steps. They generate more results in less time, avoid errors, document analyses in a traceable manner—and reduce costs in the process. Computer vision supports tasks such as: sample identification and sorting (e.g. barcode recognition) or process and quality control (e.g. sample management).
Bio-imaging creates images of human structures and functions, from anatomical regions and tissues to cells and molecules. Both in biomedical research (e.g. cancer research) and in routine diagnostics (e.g. histopathology), many samples must be examined in a short time. Digital slide scanning with computer vision enables full automation of the workflow with maximum sample throughput—increasing the quality and efficiency.

Softwire celebrates five years of strategic IT partnership with lifesaving charity Anthony Nolan
Rebuild two business-critical applications, as part of our continuing IT partnership with Anthony Nolan.
Anthony Nolan saves the lives of people with blood cancer and blood disorders. More than 1,000 individuals per year get a second chance at life, thanks to the organisation’s work to recruit potential donors, fund ground-breaking research and provide high-quality post-transplant care.
Softwire has worked with Anthony Nolan since late 2016, providing strategic IT advisory and delivery services. This began with IT strategy guidance, and has since seen our teams design and deploy new cloud architecture, before delivering a variety of large-scale software development projects around Anthony Nolan’s core applications.
At the core of Anthony Nolan’s lifesaving work
Two more-recent highlights include the development of brand-new sampling and search systems. Both play central roles in Anthony Nolan’s operations.
More than 150,000 people register with Anthony Nolan to be stem cell donors every year. Its sampling system is used to track and manage the swab samples each potential donor sends in.
The software ensures each sample is correctly processed, tested and authorised before the individual is added to the donor register. It also manages samples from patients needing transplants, to facilitate the matching process between donor and patient.
The search system, meanwhile, enables Anthony Nolan to find possible donors when a request comes in from a transplant centre. It receives more than 200 requests every month. For each one, its search team produces a report containing around 60 possible donors.
Producing this involves inputting the patient’s genetic information, running a complex search against the large donor register, and then filtering the results to identify the best matches. The report must then be reviewed and authorised, before being sent to the doctor who requested it.
Anthony Nolan’s aspiration was that both new systems should significantly streamline its teams’ ways of working, while being designed to enable additional features to be added over time.
As with all our work with Anthony Nolan, rebuilding these applications would require our teams to quickly get up to speed with complex medical processes and language.
Upskilling Anthony Nolan’s tech function
Anthony Nolan’s aim has always been to increase its in-house technology capabilities. Part of our remit throughout the time we’ve worked together has been to upskill its teams in the modern technologies and best-practice delivery processes we use.
We built brand-new search and sampling systems for Anthony Nolan, while upskilling its tech team and facilitating easier collaboration between clinicians and technologists.
Sampling system overhaul
Building on the Microsoft Azure cloud architecture we had previously rolled out, we rebuilt the sampling system. We delivered new capability in phases, to enable Anthony Nolan to benefit as soon as possible. One of the first iterations was to enable the organisation to meet its strategic aim of onboarding an additional sample-processing lab.
The new system automates a number of previously manual processes, and eliminates the need for multiple teams to be involved in processing new-donor samples. Instead, everything is now handled by the sampling lab team.
We designed the user experience to better support this team, including bringing together data from multiple sources, to remove the need to switch between the sampling system and other applications when processing donor samples.
We designed the new search system to be easily maintainable and extensible. One reason this was important was to enable Anthony Nolan to continually update the nomenclature used in the system, in line with ever-evolving industry best practices.
Elsewhere, with major new research having been published, we needed to update the sophisticated search algorithm. This was to enable more-precise automated matching of patients and donors, thereby eliminating a labour-intensive, manual process.
Working closely with the search team at Anthony Nolan, we designed a completely new user experience, looking at ways to make every part of the process simpler, more assured and more enjoyable.
We paid particular attention to making the complex search results easier to parse, so that the team could pick out the best matches more quickly. Elsewhere, we made the full authorisation process electronic, eliminating the need for printouts and easing the burden of compliance.
Helping the technology team and medical experts collaborate more effectively
Any healthcare application must correctly implement the latest medical research findings, and be verified by clinicians. This validation can be challenging, since it typically requires medical and technology specialists to understand each other’s complex fields.
Softwire’s team worked closely with Anthony Nolan’s medical experts to understand their domain and how it applied to what we were building. And we wrote our software tests in a way that enabled clinicians to validate what the applications were doing, without needing to understand the technical workings of the software.
Ongoing advisory and upskilling
