By the rise in technology, various ways are also invented to generate money, and online slot games are one of them. A gamer play these games to entertain themselves or to earn money. Moving further, all the slot machines are designed specifically and all of them are very easy to use.
Single-line machine is also known as a one-line machine. It is the most popular machine among gamblers. A player requires coins to start spinning to get the result. You should have read the prize distribution chart of this game before playing.
For example, if the highest payback of this machine from one coin is 2-times of your bet, and it is giving 6-times benefit on the bet of 2 coins. Then, it is more effective to play the game on the bet of 2 coins rather than betting one coin.
Setting A Limit
A player must set a limit so that he will not cross this line while playing a game. This strategy helps a player to play longer, and he can try his luck every day. Moreover, it will also save his money and do not tend his bank account towards zero. Rather than running towards big jackpots always choose the machines with small prizes, which are easy to grab.
Focus On Bets
It is the most important tip for a gamer. This strategy says that; you invest only some of your money in a single game. Because investing less money and taking chances will increase the probability of winning than taking the risk of all money on one game.
Choosing The Right Machine
Choosing the suitable machine with the highest payback is a critical task. Some machines offer withdrawal of only 70-80% of your winnings. At the same time, few machines allow players to withdraw up to 95 or 97% of their earnings. Additionally, if you have less amount of money, and then do not play mega jackpot machines. These machines consume all your money more frequently, tending your bank balance towards zero.
Do Not Leave Your Comfort Zone
A player is free to choose or play any game he wants to play in เว็บสล็อตทุกค่าย. So, instead of choosing progressive slots, always choose the machines you can afford easily. Moreover, a gambler should start playing on lower bets, and he can continuously increase or decrease the bet while playing. It will make the game more exciting, and the player will not get bored.
Progressive slot strategy
If a player is likely to play a progressive slot, he is suggested to play on the higher bets. This is because a progressive slot depends on the luck of a player. Just assume that, while playing the progressive slot, you hit the jackpot, and unluckily you are playing with lower bets. Of course, then, you will regret it after hitting the jackpot.
เว็บสล็อตทุกค่าย do not require a specific algorithm or buttons to hit the jackpot or to win prizes. It only needs some simple and ethical earning methods, which I mentioned above. In addition, these machines allow a person to change his life in just minutes. So, playing with these tricks can help a player a lot. | [

We decided to do a couple of quick peaks up along the Kolob Reservoir Road, in mid-Zion. I chose Moqui Peak since it was a 4-star route in Courtney Purcell's guidebook. This was a mistake. I've met Courtney in person and traded a bunch of emails with him. I like him. He's a nice guy and he has put together a very nice list of peaks to do in Zion. I also have his Las Vegas area peaks book. All that said, I find his guidebook frustrating. It doesn't really provide much information beyond: Hey, I've done this peak and it goes. Now, that's a lot more than I've done. I haven't put together a guidebook of any sort. I don't regret paying the money, but it does motivate me somewhat to put together better information.
Courtney's favorite expression is "route find upwards." We did so on Moqui Peak. We went up the wrong summit first. Or rather, the lower, eastern summit. We retreated and then climbed up to the highest summit. Ironically, CP listed this as a 4-star route because of the route finding challenges. We didn't find the hiking/scrambling to be that classic, nor the summit that appealing, but it was some good exercise. In search of something more inspiring, we headed a bit further up the road to the very beautiful Tabernacle Dome. This 3-star route had much more interesting route finding, more technical climbing, and some fun slaboneering on the final rib up to the summit.
We reversed back to the car and then headed into Springdale and our RV campground, just outside of the main entrance to Zion National Park. We cooked up some dinner and prepared for the next day, where I'd do the Trans Zion Run, with Loobster supporting me. | [

In this work we investigate and compare the structural and optical properties of silicon-rich silicon oxide layers obtained by different deposition techniques, namely plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) and RF magnetron sputtering. We demonstrate that, in contrast to what generally believed, properties of films grown by different methods are indeed very different as a result of the agglomeration properties. These data have also great implications on the performances of light emitting MOS devices whose active layer has been prepared by the two different techniques.

Scalo Greco Breda – L’Innesto
MIC-HUB supported the client Redo SGR spa, and project team, led by Barreca & La Varra, in the review and development of the Master Plan project ‘L’INNESTO’ in the Greco Breda area with regard to the sustainable mobility strategy.
Located in the north-eastern part of Milan by the Greco-Pirelli railway station, the INNESTO site is the first zero carbon social housing project, winner of the international competition ‘C40 Reinventing Cities’.
In line with a zero-emissions and resilient development, the strategic elements of the proposal were dictated by the definition of a high-quality, sustainable offer, starting from a full, critical understanding of the real mobility demand generated by the new sector.
An integrated approach to sustainable mobility was proposed to provide citizens with a comprehensive coverage of travel solutions, promoting public transport, sharing systems and active mobility, while reducing the number of parking areas.
Road safety; Traffic study
- General strategy and mobility advisory
- Vehicle and pedestrian/cycle accessibility project
- Design of intersections and axes
- Verification of project vehicle manoeuvres
As experts in sustainable mobility, the MIC-HUB team developed a comprehensive strategy based on multimodality and the radical reduction of private car ownership and use.
L’INNESTO fits harmoniously into the context of the existing urban grid but at the same time makes changes to the current road network to shift the focus from the car to the person.
MIC-HUB collaborated with the project team in developing the concept of the INNESTO Master Plan in the tender phase and, subsequently, in the process for submitting the preliminary and final proposal of the Implementation Plan.
MIC-HUB also handled the preliminary and final design for the new road network, the sub-services connected to the disposal of water from the road platform and the sub-services related to street lighting. | [

First, models. I have long been a fan of the phrase that "all models are wrong, but some are useful." However, much to my shame, I know not where it came from. Now I do. Thank you Twitter for enlightening me about George Box and his paper. Not only am I know aware, but I have been shaken to my core. More on that later.
Second, drunks - and specifically how they walk. The Drunkard's Walk: How Randomness Rules Our Lives by Leonard Mlodinow (http://leonardmlodinow.com/) is what I call a mathematician's apologetic - an attempt to make math accessible to the masses. His book is part of my attempt to work through a reading list (again - thanks Twitter!) of math texts. I give the guy a couple of stars for effort on the mathematical narration, but the real gold is in the cast of characters. They will be featured in a future post. In this post, I will leave you with flip flops.
So what was the deal about the model talk that shook me? Well, I have to change my catchphrase. "All models are wrong" is an unfair accusation and attaches an unwarranted stigma. After all, models took us to the moon and will drive our cars for us in the near future.
Now I will have to say "all models are approximations, some of which are within a reasonable distance of the truth (as if that can actually be known anyway) that we can understand and function effectively in the universe around us because of them." I recognize that's a bit of a mouthful. Perhaps a more concise way to say it is that "useful models find more nuts than blind squirrels".
- What does it mean to be wrong anyway? (I've asked this before.)
- How wrong does something have to be to be useless? Or how right does it have to be to be useful?
- How do we know that the model is wrong and we are not?
- Is the amount of time and energy and cash spent on models worth the effort?
- Can we really understand a random process in a complex universe?
That last question brings us to the flip flops. In Mlodinow's book, he takes his own walk, making a steady ascension through mathematical history. We see numeracy and statistics become more sophisticated, more precise, better at giving answers, and asking smarter questions. But in the end [SPOILER ALERT] we are left with the question of how to deal with a universe that appears to like patterns but also tends to let loose every now and then and make the simplest things seem a bit confounding. Kind of like this guy.... | [

Fast rising hip hop star, Elias Sunday ogbu, Popularly known as Ellyman has charged the new governor of Ondo state to promote talents among youths in the state as a way of reducing unemployment.
The Imo record artist, who described Ondo state as an emerging entertainment hub tasked the new government to help growing talents through entrepreneurial programs.
Ellyman said since only the entertainment industry has proven drastic growth and realistic in the journey towards vision 20/20, government must do all it takes to encourage the industry.
The artiste who felicitates with the new governor and the people of the state said that promotion of social life of the sunshine state deserves maximum attention.
He said, ” Akure, the state capital is going through serious social transformation, which will in turn help the economy of the state by way of patronage and tax development.
“What is needed is to give priority to the talents around the state and beyond; there are many people who will like to visit Akure and Ondo state in general due to the emerging socio-preneural tendency in the state.
“Nigeria government must look the way of helping entertainment industry so as to diversify the job seeking opportunities.” | [

THE GOD I KNOW (a sonnet to my Savior)
I used to think I knew the God I know.
But over time, I’ve come to know Him more.
More intimately close than long ago,
I’ve learned more of this Heart I can’t ignore.
In part, I’ve come to recognize my sin
As more egregious than I had before.
This veil of righteousness is wispy thin,
For I am but a sinner at my core.
The realization of the heart of God,
Whose love spilled blood for even such as I
(A seemingly good woman, deeply flawed),
Just makes me long to praise and glorify
The One who drew me to Him as a child,
In whom I’ve grown remarkably beguiled.

Since the glyph shapes are based on constellations, wouldn't the Milky Way constellations be a totally different shape, if even existent at all, in the Pegasus Galaxy? Assuming this is the case, which glyphs are used in the puddle jumper DHDs and how can they work in both galaxies? The buttons on the jumpers look like they are real buttons with labels that don't change (vs. touch screens). This (different glyph shapes) can be extrapolated further on the stargates planted throughout the various distant galaxies on Stargate: Universe.
I'm not talking about stellar drift over the millennia which is essentially dealt with using automatic periodic software updates to the DHDs. This has been addressed in the first season of Stargate SG-1. | [

Cloudy eyes in many dogs are due to cataracts and can have a big impact on vision and quality of life. Here at Animal Eye Care we recognise the importance of the human-animal bond and the desire for many owners to help their precious companion animals.
Ophthalmology Only: At Animal Eye Care our clinic is equipped for ophthalmology only. For all other veterinary services we refer you back to your local veterinarian. We are unable to supply medications or treatments for general problems, flea control products, wormers, diets etc.
Robin has been examining horse’s eyes for nearly 30 years. Heather is a world recognised expert in equine ophthalmology and leads an online course in this field with the Centre of Veterinary Education through the University of Sydney.
The veterinarians at Animal Eye Care use specialised equipment to examine your animal's eyes. Initially a focal light is used to examine the front of the eyes.
Surgery is available at the East Malvern clinic. All animals require an initial consultation before any surgery. This can be organised on the same day, especially for those clients travelling from country Victoria or beyond.
This test is to check breeding animals for inherited eye diseases. We are able to provide dog breeders with eye certification with internationally recognised eye certificates.
Animal Eye Care regularly examines the eyes of exotic pets. These include rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets, snakes and reptiles. Robin was an ophthalmic consultant for the Melbourne Zoo for over twenty years and in that time examined all sorts of creatures including lions, rhinoceroses, seals and pythons. | [

As almost every one knows about the input and output devices of a computer system, but here i’m compare both of them and tell you briefly about the main difference between them.
Simply all input devices are used to sending information to the computer system for some kind of processing on it and output devices are those which displays the results of these inputs. Many devices are behaves like both of input and output or simply say that I/O devices.

- How to choose best Gaming Laptop (Beginner’s Guide)
- How to buying best Desktop PC Speakers
Input and Output Devices of Computer System
Input Devices are those devices whose can sending data to the other input or output devices. Input devices only input data, they cannot receive any kind of data from any other device.
There are many examples of input devices like Keyboard, Mouse, Touchpad, Pen Input, Microphone, Electronic Whiteboard, OCR, OMR, Punch Card Reader, Magnetic Tape Drive, Webcam, Scanner, MIDI Keyboard, Gamepad, Joystick, Barcode Reader, Digital Camera, Cameras, Graphical Tablets, these are used to inputting your data to the processor for processing. These devices cannot receive any kind of information from the other computer.
Output Devices are those devices whose can only receiving data from other devices. Output devices only receive data or information, they cannot input any data to other computer.
There are many examples of output devices like Monitor, Speaker, LCD, LED, CRT, Printers, Plotters, LCD Projection Panels, Microfiche, Film Recorder, Visual Display Unit, Speakers, Projector, these devices are used for outputting or showing results.

I rarely discuss the weather, but that was some storm last night. I wish I had some pictures of that storm to post, but I don’t. I spent last night inside, like a coward. Rather than outdoors taking lightning pictures. Not because I am a coward, but because Crossroads just wasn’t going to watch itself.
I do have some pictures of the storm aftermath to post that I took on the short jaunt from the back door to the car before I made the sojourn to the Computer Mine.
The first tulip of the yeard did not survive the storm.
On an unrelated note, The Mother’s Day Peony is about to bloom. I took this picture a couple of days ago of an ant hard at work.
I suppose it is right on schedule. | [

Some indigenes of Ogbele community in Ahoada East Local Government Area in Rivers State has accused a dissident group led by Mr Tony Moore in collaboration with the member representing Ahoada East Constituency 11 in the Rivers State House of Assemby,Hon.Edison Ehie of instigating crisis in the community.
In a statement signed by Okpara Orisa,a former member of the Community Advisory Committee(CAC)noted that the petition against an indigenous oil firm Niger Delta Petroleum Resources(NDPR)operating in the community doesnt emanate from the leadership of the community,rather was sponsored by the member representing Ahoada East Constituency 11 in the Rivers State House of Assembly,Hon.Edison Ehie.
He noted that the action of Hon.Edison Ehie and his cohorts was borne out personal interest and not that of the community,adding that after the visit of the members of the State Assembly committee on Public complaints and petition led by the chairman,Hon.Evans Bipi the community is witnessing violence and rancour which was the initial plan of the member representing the area to cause havoc that will lead to destruction of lives and property.
Mr Orisa pointed out that development is a gradual process that can be pursued through the statutory organs mandated by the community to liaise between the community and the company based on the 5% trust fund meant for the development of the community as contained in the Momorandum of Understanding(MoU).
He said the petition remained invalid because it was borne out of greed,bias and personal interest by those who conspired to threaten the peace of the community,adding that it also violates the Memorandum of Understanding(MoU)which stipulates that any issue of development,employment and empowerment shall be addressed through the Community Advisory Committee(CAC).
He averred that instead of the member representing Ahoada East Constituency 11,Hon.Edison Ehie to focus on sponsoring bills that will better the lives of his constituents,he is busy sponsoring crisis in Ogbele community,however noted that Hon.Edison has failed for not sponsoring one bill since he emerged as member of the State Assembly.
He said that the community and the LGA was recently engulfed in cult related killings and yet the member couldnt raise a motion in the floor of the Assembly to condemn or draw the attention of security agencies over the incessant killings that have displaced so many indigenes and the people of the area.
Mr.Orisa called on the Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly to warn Hon.Edison Ehie not to cause crisis in the community as the petition is generating tension in the community.
He appealed to the committee not to take side and ensure that fairness and justice guides their decision. | [

How much does it cost to run an LED light bulb for 24 hours?
Leaving the bulb on the whole day will therefore cost you: 0.06 (60 watts / 1000) kilowatts x 24 hours x 12 cents = approximately 20 cents in one day.
How much do LED lights cost to run per hour?
The average for the US is 13 cents per hour. So, with that rate, the cost of electricity for an LED bulb is only $16.58, while an incandescent bulb would cost $117 – almost 7 times as much on your energy bill!
How much does it cost to run an LED light for 12 hours?
If you used a bulb for just two hours a day and paid the national average of 11.5 cents per kilowatt hour, a single 12-watt LED will cost you about $1 per year. Comparable CFLs that consume about 14 watts come to $1.17 per year and about $5 a year for 60-watt incandescents in that scenario.
Do LED lights use a lot of electricity?
In general, LED Lights use less electricity and last longer than incandescent or CFL bulbs. … LED lights also use very little electricity in comparison to traditional incandescent bulbs.
Is it cheaper to leave LED lights on?
LED, or light emitting diode, bulbs are not affected at all by being turned on and off. This characteristic makes LED bulbs a top energy savings lighting choice. They’re a great option, Energy.gov says, when used with sensors that rely on on-off operation. They also turn on at full brightness almost instantly.
How much do LED lights save per month?
Here’s a bright idea: Switching to LED light bulbs can help the typical home save about a $1,000 over a 10-year period. That’s roughly $8.33 a month.
How much does it cost to run Christmas lights?
How Many Watts do Christmas Lights Use?
|Bulb Type||Wattage per Bulb||Cost of Powering 10, 100-bulb strands (at avg. $0.12/kWh)*|
|Incandescent mini light||.41||$10.33|
|Incandescent C7 (2”) light||5||$126.00|
|Incandescent C9 (3”) light||7||$176.40|
|LED mini light||.07||$1.76|
Do night lights use a lot of electricity?
A single 1.5-watt night light used for 12 hours each day uses about 0.4 percent of the total electricity used for lighting an average U.S. residence. A 7.5-watt night light burning for 12 hours uses about 2 percent of the total electricity used for lighting.
How much electricity does a 9w LED bulb cost to run?
9 watt led bulb power consumption:
Yearly power consumption = 9*24*365 + 10% power loss = 78840 + 7884 = 86724 Watts hour. Converting into units 86.7 units per year. | [

Han So-hee has opened up about the preparation she undertook for her role in the upcoming Netflix action-thriller, My Name.
- READ MORE: ‘Squid Game’ review: child’s play turns deadly in a cutting critique of late-stage capitalism
In a press conference held earlier today (October 5), the actress discussed the challenges she faced while portraying her character Jiwoo, a woman who infiltrates a police department in order to seek revenge for her father.
Han revealed that she had to attend action school and was coached by a martial arts director, who gave her advice on how to play her role well. One of the suggestions was to watch movies that had a similar theme to My Name, and 2017’s Atomic Blonde, starring Charlize Theron, became one of the main inspirations for Han’s character.
“When I had the first meeting with the martial arts director, we looked at different styles of martial arts and something that he pointed out was the movie Atomic Blonde, [which had] a long-take action [scene], and a female lead winning [against] her male opponents,” she said.
Other action films that inspired the actress included Netflix’s Old Guard, also starring Theron. “I had looked at the different titles to get some inspiration, especially the ones that were led by a female lead,” she added.
Han also noted that the biggest challenge while filming My Name was ensuring she didn’t hurt others during her action scenes. “I was practicing a lot, not just to protect myself but I really wanted to make sure that I don’t hurt anyone and finish the project safely,” she shared.
My Name is directed by Kim Jin-min, who previously helmed Netflix’s 2020 gritty hit teen-crime drama Extracurricular. The upcoming series is set to premiere on the global streaming platform on October 15, and will also star Ahn Bo-hyun and veteran Park Hee-Soon. | [

For seven days and six nights at the end of November, a group of Jews will sit mostly in silence, meditating in a quiet wooded neighborhood in San Rafael.
Jews in silence? Really?
“We are a very intellectually centered people, but it’s nice to drop into silence, to feel more, to think more clearly, to connect more deeply with God and with each other,” said Rachel Eryn Kalish of Woodacre.
She will be one of around 40 people at “Cultivating an Awakened Heart,” a Jewish meditation retreat Nov. 23 to 29 at the Santa Sabina Retreat Center in San Rafael.
Kalish has been meditating since 1975. She started, “like a lot of people,” with transcendental meditation. Then, in 1992, when Berkeley’s Chochmat HaLev began offering a teacher training in Jewish silent meditation, Kalish finally found a way to merge her Jewish soul with her meditation practice.
“I think some people think meditation is Buddhism Jewicized — I don’t think that’s true,” Kalish said. “There are really deep ancient Jewish meditation practices … But they are less known and studied and are still being unearthed and examined.”
Though still on the fringe of mainstream Jewish life, Jewish meditation is growing in popularity, especially in Northern California, said Rabbi Jeff Roth, who leads the Awakened Heart Project for Contemplative Judaism and also recently published a book, “Jewish Meditation Practices for Everyday Life.”
Roth will lead the November retreat with Rabbi Joanna Katz, co-founder of Elat Chayyim, a Jewish Renewal retreat center; Norman Fischer, a Jewish Zen Buddhist priest who lives in Muir Beach; and Marin resident Sylvia Boorstein, a meditation instructor and psychotherapist.
“The overall meditation approach is to ask people to be awake and aware and notice everything moment by moment,” Roth said. “If you sit down and are quiet for six days, you can’t help but learn and notice many things about your own life.”
Participants can be beginners or advanced practitioners. Each day will begin with a period of silent meditation, followed by a contemplative morning prayer service and chanting lines from the Jewish morning liturgy, followed by breakfast.
Instructors will then talk about the day’s practice, which will include silent seated and walking meditation. An hour-long talk by one of the meditation instructors will inform the evening meditation and chanting.
“To me, silence is heavenly, but I don’t want to paint meditation as all sweetness and light,” Kalish said. “Everything comes up when we’re silent. There can be a period of discomfort … whatever is going on in your life, silence is like shining a great light onto it.”
Rabbi Diane Elliot, who first began meditating in the Buddhist Vipassana tradition, chuckled when she remembered how “terrified” she was at the thought of sitting in silence for an extended period of time.
“Something in me was afraid of what would come up if I were quiet,” said Elliot, now the rabbi at Berkeley’s Aquarian Minyan. “But then I saw the benefits, I felt the benefits, and I began to really embrace this.”
Elliot is looking forward to the retreat. She meditates on her own daily, but said carving out a week for silent meditation provides a sense of relief unlike anything else.
For her, “It’s as essential as food,” she said.
Kalish also meditates on her own and usually spends one day a week in silence. Still, attending a Jewish meditation retreat is uniquely affecting, she said.
“I feel more spacious, more open, more connected to God,” she said. “I sometimes joke about having ‘Jewish Interuptus Syndrome,’ and after a retreat, I interrupt less. I feel more connected to myself and to who’s in front of me. I feel more aware of what’s going on and therefore can respond to people more clearly.”
That’s exactly what Roth hopes participants get out of his retreats — a keener sense of the world within them and around them.
“Most people’s critique of mediation is that it’s so inner-directed that it doesn’t take care of the world,” Roth said. “Jewish meditation practice is not about escaping from the world, but delving deeply to understand the nature of life so we can make a difference in this world.”
“Cultivating an Awakened Heart” will take place Nov. 23-29 at Santa Sabina Retreat Center, 25 Magnolia Ave., San Rafael. $775-$1,000. For information or to register: www.awakenedheartproject.org/retreats. | [

Working moms deserve a new New Deal
Editor’s note: The following op-ed, which originally appeared in Medium and is crossposted with permission, is co-authored by Esta Soler and Rebecca Dixon. Soler is Founder and President of Futures Without Violence, Dixon is Executive Director of the National Employment Law Project.
By Esta Soler and Rebecca Dixon
The United States currently faces an economic crisis of climactic proportions. Working families who were already teetering on the brink of financial insolvency now face mass unemployment and a deeply uncertain future. In an economy in which women make up nearly two in three workers in low paid jobs — nearly half of whom are women of color — the burden of this economic collapse will fall disproportionately along gendered and racial lines.
The COVID-19 pandemic has laid bare the lack of protections for working people writ large. As the national spotlight shines on the millions of workers grappling with a threadbare social safety net and low wage “essential” workers facing risks to their personal health and safety, more people can finally see the harsh reality too many marginalized women and families face every day.
This crisis has forced us all to reckon with a flawed healthcare system in which medical care is contingent on one’s job, sowing the seeds for disaster when mass unemployment events occur. In this and other respects, government cannot sit on the sidelines. Our elected officials and policymakers need to mandate that workplaces provide necessary support for working families in the form of paid leave, a livable wage, and childcare, and that the government work with small businesses to supplement those added costs.
To emerge from this crisis a stronger nation with a stronger economy, we have to stand in the shoes of the most vulnerable. We need a new New Deal that does not leave out domestic workers and farmworkers like the first one did, but rather sets workers up for stability both during this crisis and in the recovery to follow — a stable floor so that workers don’t fall through the cracks.
This starts with four things:
1. Increasing the minimum wage everywhere to at least $15 an hour;
2. Providing guaranteed paid sick and family leave to every worker;
3. Extending access to unemployment insurance to help women fleeing violence at home; and
4. Ensuring every person gets the medical care they need without regard to cost or employment status.
These protections will both empower women facing crisis and provide greater stability to families overall. There is a clear nexus between poverty and domestic violence, and the poorest Americans are 12 times more likely to experience sexual assault. Poverty limits opportunities to escape, heal, and secure independence. With government-mandated protections in place to guarantee paid leave, access to healthcare, and a living wage, we can ensure the most vulnerable in our society are able to escape from the structural binds of poverty and thrive.
The current absence of these protections is what’s driving the disparities that women — particularly women of color — face. In the midst of this historic public health and economic crisis, longstanding injustices, like vast inequality, have created a chasm that we clearly can no longer bridge. March 31, 2020 was Equal Pay Day, which underscored how women still make a mere 81 cents for every dollar a man earns. For Black women, that number is a dismal 62 cents on the dollar, and for Latinx women even lower, at 54 cents. In spite of this, when it comes to dismantling injustices in U.S. society, women of color continue to lead.
More than any other crisis in recent memory, women working in low wage jobs are at the center of the storm. As the National Women’s Law Center recently noted, the pay gap only begins to tell a story — one that becomes even more distressing when you dig into the details of which jobs have been most affected by the pandemic. Women make up 93 percent of child care workers, 66 percent of grocery store cashiers, and 70 percent of servers at restaurants. A majority of housekeeping and home healthcare positions are held by women, a disproportionate number of whom are women of color. For the Black single mother working one of these positions, the impacts of this crisis will be particularly brutal.
Of course, few of these low wage positions come with essential benefits like health insurance, childcare, and paid leave — benefits that are needed now more than ever. While the passage of the $2 trillion CARES Act may have served as a necessary lifeline to some workers, it was woefully insufficient at addressing these longstanding, fundamental inequities that plague our economy. President Roosevelt saw the Great Depression as an opportunity to address the deep economic injustices taking root in the United States, but the New Deal was “race silent,” with a glaring exemption of 90 percent of Black women from its reforms and benefits. If we want to emerge from this crisis with a stronger economy that puts people above profit, lawmakers today must go | [

Tonawanda News — — “Girls Just Want to Have Fun,” Cyndi Lauper, 1985
For the Kaeselau family of Tonawanda, the show is a family affair.
At 4, AJ Kaeselau is already a IGC veteran, while Nora, 2, made her debut this year and their father, Scott Kaeselau, plays teacher Mr. Cocker. While not on stage, mom Jenny Kaeselau might have been the busiest of all, helping to get the youngest cast members costumed and shepherding them on stage for their scenes.
As a school assembly took place on stage, Jenny Kaeselau and other parents suited up a little Jedi (AJ), assorted small Princess Leias and other children for a scene in which they parade across stage in costume or carrying stars.
“It’s wonderful,” she said of IGC. “They take everyone. Everyone helps out in different ways. This has become our summer activity, and it’s been a great family activity we can all do together...
“And now I have to run in one minute to get them on stage. Sometimes Nora cooperates, and sometimes she doesn’t.”
“Believe it or not, I’m walking on air/I never thought I could feel so free/Flying away on a wing and a prayer/Who could it be? Believe it or not, it’s just me.”
— “Believe It or Not,” Joey Scarbury, 1981
The school drama continues on stage with rivalries, a new girl in school (of course) and an “I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles)” musical duel between the Palmer and Feldman characters (complete with “kilts” and prop guitars like The Proclaimers back in 1988). There’s a concert, there’s a party, there’s a broken heart or two.
Local resident Dave Siedlecki was walking in Niawanda Park and stopped to watch the show.
“To get the kids to do this and all the parents to be involved... it’s great. Especially with all the ways they’re cutting the arts at all the schools,” he said. “I marvel at it, to see the kids putting themselves out there like that. I wish I’d had the courage to do it when I was in school.” | [

By and large, the world, as it seems to be, just doesn’t have a clue as to the Vastness you are. Foolish world. The world may still be waiting for that which you already exceed. Go further than the world can add or multiply. The world seems to be more skilled at subtraction and division. It’s not that the world cannot see. The world sets lesser priorities. The world does not see far enough. The world settles for dross. You are far greater than what the world commonly takes into account. The world just doesn’t see far enough. The world simply doesn’t begin to dream enough. The world means to be realistic and so it thinks it runs on the basis of reality — so it thinks.
As it is, the world does not begin to ask for enough. The world runs on tiddlywinks when it is capable of climbing the highest mountain and on to the furthest stars and galaxies of Heaven. The world sets its virtual reality too low. To climb the highest mountain does not ask for enough. You are so close to the apex of all possibilities. You scale the heights, yet you come in at the last like a caboose. The world has forgotten what you are on the verge of. It is true that you do not ask for enough. There is much more for you to ask for right off the bat. You timidly would ask for what is already yours if you would dare to go that far. Of course, ask for more. Ask for more. Ask now. Ask to reach higher than the apple or the pear at the top of the nearest tree.
Right this moment, you open the dimensions of the world. Open the dimensions wide. Dream of the Vastest of the Vast. You have greater than the world to reach for. Reach higher than high. Stretch your boundaries. No longer settle for less.
Beloved, you are the asker who asks on behalf of the world entire. My children already have the moon and the stars. Accept greater right now. Accept the heights of Heaven. As My guests, accept the Bounty I give you from My Heart. | [

“Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close” is the story of nine-year-old Oskar Schell’s mission to discover the lock that goes with a key belonging to his father who died in the World Trade Center on September 11. Written by acclaimed author Jonathan Safran Foer (“Everything is Illuminated”), this novel is able to capture the spirit of a child while maintaining the ability to make the reader ask questions about an event many of us try not to think about.
Oskar goes on a journey throughout New York City’s five boroughs on his impossible quest and doesn’t necessarily come out of the search with a greater understanding of his father, as he’d hoped. Like many stories in which the protagonist embarks on some sort of journey with a specific goal in mind, Foer ensures that Oskar gets more out of his exploration, rather than simply reaching the destination. While a cliché concept in and of itself, Foer’s ability to create a reliable narrator out of an over-educated nine-year-old “inventor” and include small, yet poignant details throughout the text elevates what could be a predictable story of love, loss, and self-discovery into something more.
Intertwined with Oskar’s narrative is the tale of his paternal grandparents. It begins with how they met in Germany before World War II and progresses to present-day so that this story converges with Oskar’s. Although the way the story jumps around could be confusing and abrupt for some, it’s generally easy to follow and acts as another device employed by Foer to ensure that his novel is more interesting than most.
Another unique method Foer uses to enhance this work is his inclusion of photographs, drawings, and different typefaces peppered throughout the book. Dubbed as a foray into “contemporary postmodernism,” these pictures provide readers with a deeper insight into the minds of the narrators. Often emotionally jarring, these pictures interrupt the text in a way that causes one to focus more on smaller details that may have been overlooked in the text itself. Some may consider Foer’s experimentation with imagery too gimmicky, but their presence doesn’t subtract from the overall story.
There are few well-done novels that revolve around September 11 because it is still “too soon” in many respects, but Foer is able to overcome that and create a sensitive and, at times, humorous account of how such a universal even affected one family so uniquely. Through likeable, distinct characters, a complex narrative, and interesting additions like pictures, Jonathan Safran Foer has guaranteed “Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close” a spot in the modern-day literary canon. | [

P0225 code definition
Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor/Switch C Circuit Malfunction
What the P0225 code means
P0225 is a generic OBD-II code which indicates that the throttle/pedal position sensor/switch C circuit has an internal failure. The sensor went out of range, causing the throttle to become unresponsive and the engine to go into failure mode.
What causes the P0225 code?
The engine control module (ECM) detects sensor circuit voltage above or below the specified range designed for the sensor over a specified time.
What are the symptoms of the P0225 code?
- The sensor is ignored during braking
- The throttle may be set to a fixed position during failure on some vehicles
- Uneven idle or jerking during braking
- Very poor throttle response during acceleration
- The cruise control will be disabled
- The vehicle speed will be limited to approximately 32 mph
- The Check Engine Light and ETC light will be illuminated
How does a mechanic diagnose the P0225 code?
Scans codes and documents the freeze frame data
Clears the codes to verify whether the concern comes back
Does a visual check of the wiring and connections to the throttle body sensor
Disconnects connection to the sensor and checks for corrosion, or problems with pin engagement
Tests for proper battery voltage to the sensor
Checks the battery and charging system for proper operation
Tests the sensor resistance and compares it to specifications
Common mistakes when diagnosing the P0225 code
Follow these simple guidelines to prevent misdiagnosis:
Do a visual check of connections to the sensor to make sure they are making good contact to the throttle control assembly
Make sure that the battery and charging system is working properly
Check the throttle plates for blockage or contamination with oil, dirt or debris
How serious is the P0225 code?
- The vehicle speed will be limited to less than 35 mph
- The engine may hesitate or lack acceleration
- The engine idle will be erratic and be set higher than normal
What repairs can fix the P0225 code?
Repairing the battery and charging system for low voltage conditions
Repairing or replacing a defective connector or wiring to the sensor if it is corroded or has connector damage
Replacing a defective throttle body control assembly
Additional comments for consideration regarding the P0225 code
The code P0225 is for one of the multiple sensors for the throttle body control. Some vehicles use the sensor to compare voltage output with the redundant sensors to prevent throttle control issues. This code may have various drive symptoms, depending on the manufacturer's failure mode.

NASA has bestowed four more contracts each to SpaceX and Boeing for ferrying astronauts to the International Space Station in 2018.
The new crew rotation missions to the private firms will take the number of total missions with SpaceX and Boeing to six each. A statement from NASA said the space taxis will transport up to four astronauts and 220 pounds of critical cargo to the space station.
"Awarding these missions now will provide greater stability for the future space station crew rotation schedule, as well as reduce schedule and financial uncertainty for our providers," said Phil McAlister, director of NASA's Commercial Spaceflight Development Division.
The debut flight test of Space X without crews is expected in November, to be followed up by a Crew Dragon capsule test in May 2018. Boeing's CST-100 Starliner test with crew will take off in August 2018.
In the crewed missions, a lifeboat capability will be a highlight, allowing the ISS astronauts to return safely to Earth in an emergency.
Despite the publicized schedules, the crewed missions to ISS would take off only after the companies get the flight certification nod from NASA.
For NASA, the fresh contracts make sense, as the arrangements have to be in place for the transfer of astronauts to ISS as the deal with Russian Space agency may not continue beyond 2018. The United States ended its Space Shuttle program in 2011 and was relying on Russia's Soyuz rockets to ferry ISS crew.
For using the services of the Russian spacecraft to ferry astronauts to and from the ISS, the spending by NASA was near $80 million for every seat on the Soyuz rocket.
Russia's space agency Roscosmos stated in 2015 that it will not continue the arrangement of sending U.S. astronauts to the ISS after 2018. This has added a new urgency to NASA.
It means SpaceX or Boeing has to keep the capsules ready by 2018 to manage the U.S. presence on the space station.
NASA inked the space taxi contracts with Boeing and SpaceX in 2014 and offered them two missions each as a starter.
Both Space X and Boeing will be launching their space taxi services from Florida's Space Coast. Boeing may operate from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, while SpaceX will opt for the Kennedy Space Center of NASA.
Meanwhile, an opportunity is coming up to see the International Space Station passing in front of the sun on Thursday morning at the Denver Metro area.
A map of the space station's transit across the sun through Denver has been released by the Denver Astronomical Society.
The transit is expected at 11:16 a.m. Thursday.
For watching the ISS solar transit, binoculars or telescopes with an eyepiece and solar filter must be used.
"The sun is way too bright to look at without safe filters. It can actually cause blindness, either temporary, or in some cases, permanent damage to the eye," said Ron Hranac, president of the Denver Astronomical Society.
Since the movement of ISS will be will be faster, it will take only less than a second to pass across the sun. | [

Stephen King wants to talk about gun control, but he's just preaching to the choir.
Last month, King published "Guns," an e-book available exclusively on Amazon Kindle for 99 cents. Written in response to the horrific school shootings across the country, "Guns" is billed as a "pulls-no-punches essay intended to provoke rational discussion."
And in Tuesday's press release announcing the release of the audiobook edition, King is quoted as saying, "The overwhelming response from readers of the Kindle Single edition of 'Guns' underscores the great need for thoughtful discourse on the issue of guns."
As one of the country's most famous authors, King doesn't have trouble finding an audience. And looking at the figures, this latest release is also his latest success. Ranked first in the Kindle Singles' bestseller category and as the fifth-highest-selling nonfiction title for the Kindle, "Guns" has inarguably received the overwhelming response King was looking for. But a closer look suggests that the eBook hasn't engendered the rational discussion he was looking for.
Although Amazon reviews are far from the ideal forum for thoughtful discourse, the numbers have a lot to say. Of the 100 most helpful 5-star reviews, 75% are marked "Amazon Verified Purchase" (meaning the customer at least bought the eBook). Of the 98 total 1-star reviews, that percentage drops to 22.
Since the title isn't available on other platforms (Nook, iBooks and Kobo), we can assume that 78% of the 1-star reviewers, the people who claim to disagree with King's views, likely haven't even read the book. They are simply responding to the notion of an anti-gun book, rather than the contents of that book. In other instances, such as with a recent Michael Jackson biography, similar tactics have been used as an attempt to bury a book. This reactionary and reflexively suspicious group, however, is the audience King needs to reach: Those who are so virulently against tighter gun laws that they'll condemn an argument without actually hearing it.
Amazon has virtual dominion over the e-book marketplace, and publishing to Kindle gives King access to the biggest e-reader audience around. But because the Kindle Singles program requires books be sold for some amount, and not available for free anywhere else, King immediately discouraged people from taking a risk and engaging with ideas that might challenge — or align — with their own. Because, as any writer, editor, or publisher will tell you, the only thing harder than getting people to read is getting them to actually buy your book. | [

The use of a TIMERITE® spring spray to control redlegged earth mite (RLEM), Halotydeus destructor (Tucker) (Acari: Penthaleidae), in annual pastures was evaluated on farms across Australia. RLEM populations in autumn in the treatments sprayed in spring 1998 and 1999 were 97% lower in 1999 and 97% in 2000 in the western region (Western Australia), and 93% lower in 1999 and 93% in 2000 in the eastern region (Victoria, New South Wales and South Australia). At sites in the west, control of RLEM resulted in significant increases in subterranean clover seed yield in 1999 and in clover seedling numbers in autumn 1999 and 2000. Penthaleus major (blue oat mite) populations in autumn were 60% lower in sprayed treatments, but Sminthurus viridis (lucerne flea) populations were not affected. Differences in weather between the west (where there is a hot, dry summer) and the east (where temperature and rainfall regimes are more variable in spring and early summer) seem to cause greater RLEM control and greater benefits in subterranean clover seed yield and seedling numbers with a spring spray in the west. | [

A "gun" works by channelling the explosive force of a propellant down a barrel, driving a projectile ("bullet") out of the barrel and towards a target.
How A Gun Works
The same forces are at work, whether using an antique muzzle-loader or a modern-day rifle or pistol.
Modern ammunition carries the primer, propellant, and projectile all in the same cartridge. The process of firing the gun starts when you load the cartridge into the firing chamber. After loading the cartridge, you aim the weapon and pull the trigger. The mechanics of it may vary, but a firing pin eventually strikes the primer, which ignites the propellant. The hot explosive gases are channeled behind the projectile, forcing it down the barrel and out of it.
There are many variations of "guns," such as single-shot, revolver, and semi-automatic. Here's an excellent Wikipedia page describing various types of handguns and the differences between them Click Here | [

Cellular-porous ceramic block to erect single-layer and multi-layer walls
SUBSTANCE: cellular-porous ceramic block for erection of single-layer and multi-layer walls represents a rectangular parallelepiped comprising outer side stretcher and header faces and an inner structural-insulation structure made of rows of through cavities separated from each other with ceramic partitions and links and parallel to header faces of the block. Through cavities are arranged with displacement relative to each other in neighbouring rows for half of their width, besides, the block has vertical and horizontal slots, which protrude beyond the limits of the stretcher and bed faces by width of one cavity and thickness of a side face, and also a vertical mark at the centre of the stretcher side of the face.
EFFECT: improved physical and technical parameters of a block and method to lay a building wall, increased accuracy of laying in erection of a wall, reduced deviations from horizontal and vertical planes, higher resistance of work to shifting.
1 ex, 6 dwg
The invention relates to the construction, namely the construction hollow ceramic blocks, widely used in masonry single and multi-layer external walls of buildings with the required thermal resistance for different climatic conditions.
Known hollow-porous ceramic brick-block for the construction of homogeneous walls (patent RU 2377371 C1, 23.06.2008)containing outer side header and stretcher faces and internal structural insulating structure, and structural and heat-shielding structure is deployed relative to the header and stretcher faces at 45° and is divided lengthwise into two equal parts ceramic strap passing across the header and parallel bonder faces.
The disadvantage of this brick-block is the lack of horizontal and vertical grooves, which reduces the strength of masonry shear in its operation. Also a disadvantage is the necessity of imposing a solution on a flat horizontal surface of the block for coupling with the overlying blocks. This leads to a deterioration of the efficiency of the walls, made of this block, due to the presence of end-to-end suture, and increased construction time.
Closest to the claimed invention is a large-sized porous ceramic watch the sky block POROTHERM (THICK) PTH 51 (510×250×219), PTH 38 (380×250×219), PTH 25 (250×380×219) and PTH 12 (120×500×219). (Large porous ceramic block POROTHERM (GOST 5 30-2007), PTH 51 and PTH 38. [Electronic resource] / the Wienerberger group (Wienerberger) - Vienna (Austria). Mode of access: http:// www.wienerberger.ru). The ceramic block is a rectangular parallelepiped containing outer side header and stretcher faces and internal structural insulating structure made of separated from each other by ceramic walls and bridges rows of through voids, parallel bonder faces of the block. Voids in the ceramic block to the rectangular shape of 40×15 mm and parallel to the header side. Ribs are parallel as well as perpendicular to the header side. Additional cavities have the shape of a square and are located on the borders of the pair stretcher bond faces, and with two structural holes 42,5×42.5 mm, located at a distance of 50 mm from the bonder faces. Mark block strength M100-M150.
The disadvantage of this large porous ceramic block POROTHERM (THICK) is the necessity of imposing a solution on a flat horizontal surface of the block for coupling with the overlying blocks. This leads to a deterioration of the efficiency of a wall made from this unit due to the presence squozen the th seam, and increased construction time. Also, a significant disadvantage of this ceramic block is the lack of horizontal grooves that during the construction of masonry leads to a decrease in the accuracy and stability of construction. In addition, decreases the resistance of masonry shear in its operation.
The objective of the invention is to provide a hollow porous ceramic block for the construction of single-layer and multilayer walls, providing a high thermal indicators in operation, convenience and easy installation, reducing labor costs, increasing accuracy of masonry and the reduction of deviations from the horizontal and vertical planes during the construction of the wall, increasing the resistance of masonry shear due to the use of the geometric parameters of the ceramic block, the vertical and horizontal grooves.
The problem is solved in that hollow-porous ceramic block for the construction of single-layer and multilayer walls, representing a rectangular parallelepiped containing outer side header and stretcher faces and internal structural insulating structure made of separated from each other by ceramic walls and bridges rows of through voids, parallel bonder faces of the block, according to the invention, end-to-end STS which the notes are offset relative to each other in adjacent rows on half of their width, in addition, the block has a | [

While the HTC Vive has been heralded as the most impressive VR headset currently on the market, it is also the most expensive. The consumer edition costs £689 including VAT, making it significantly more expensive than the PlayStation VR which is set to retail at £350.
The PlayStation VR is also less expensive than the Oculus Rift, which in the UK costs £499. The Oculus Rift requires a high-end PC however, something the PlayStation VR doesn’t require.
Sony has already put up the PlayStation VR for pre-order, with the company hoping to capitalise on the 230 developers and publishers that are set to create over 160 games for it. The company has already revealed several games, including EVE: Valkyrie, Rez Infinite and Headmaster.
While the PlayStation VR is cheaper and easier to get to grips with than the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive, both Oculus and HTC will have a head start. While both of those devices are set to be released in Q1, Sony confirmed that the PlayStation VR won’t be in customers’ hands until October 2016.
Despite that set back, experts already believe the PlayStation VR will outsell the other two devices. That’s because, while it is technically inferior, it only needs a PlayStation 4 to get started with – a device millions of people already have in their living rooms. The Oculus Rift and HTC Vive require a high-end PC – something that could cost thousands of pounds.
The only VR headset that has the plug and play-ability that Sony’s PlayStation VR headset boasts is the Gear VR – which uses Samsung’s Galaxy smartphones to power it. The Gear VR is by far the most affordable VR headset, costing £80, but it’s also not the most advanced, despite being powered by Oculus technology.
According to analysts at IHS, Sony is expected to sell more than 1.6m PlayStation VR headsets before the end of 2016. | [

Kariba recorded between 53 and around 80 millimetres of rains in 24 hours, which comes close to the highest recorded volume of around 100mm.
With fears of increased incident of drought owing to climate change, the development comes as a relief, raising hope that Lake Kariba will fill up earlier than projected.Zambezi River Authority (ZRA) which manages the Zambezi River, Lake and installations including the dam have estimated that with good rains, the lake would fill up in 2023.
However, that is expected to change as bountiful rains in the Lake Kariba catchment have resulted in Lake levels rising considerably.
Readings on three gauging sites in Kariba showed that Heights recorded around 62mm, Kariba Airport (53mm) and site in Chawara recorded 76mm between Friday and Saturday.

SACRAMENTO -- Gov. Gray Davis has signed a bill that could
help fund a new arena for the Sacramento Kings, officials said.
The bill, which opens up new funding options for downtown
revitalization, allows business owners to float bonds of up to 30
years and pay them off by assessing fees on themselves. It could be
used to revitalize the 240-acre Union Pacific railyard near Old
Sacramento, which could have a new Kings arena as its centerpiece.
The legislation, which Davis signed Sunday, would provide an
opportunity for new developments all over the state as well, said
Davis' spokesman Russell Lopez.
"The governor looked at the broader picture," he said. "Yes,
it could help here in Sacramento, but he's looking at the larger
perspective that if other cities choose to do this, it could help
them as well."
In Sacramento, the measure could help fund other projects along
the downtown waterfront, K Street Mall and near the Sacramento
Sacramento Mayor Heather Fargo warned that passing the measure
does not mean the arena will be built, though she supports Davis'
move, and thinks a new arena would be a good idea.
"When something can bring 18,000 people to one location, 200
times a year, that's a lot of economic energy, a lot of
excitement," Fargo said.
Opponents of the measure say it goes against Proposition 218,
which asks local government to get voter approval before raising
taxes, fees and assessments.
The bill will become law on Jan. 1. | [

|Subject||The Influence of Various Urban Typologies on Winds|
Conditions in Open Urban Spaces
|Department||Department of Architecture and Town Planning||Supervisor||Dr. Abraham Yezioro|
|Full Thesis text - in Hebrew|
Open public spaces are a vital component in a built urban environment that encourages public life in the city. They consist one of the measures of urban life quality. Therefore, taking into consideration aspects of microclimate and the comfort of the environment in these open areas, such as gardens and parks, squares and streets is an essential part of urban planning. Achieving comfortable and optimal conditions in them while maintaining climate awareness during the design process will strengthen their use fitting them to different outdoor activities (walking, sitting, etc.).
This study examines the effects of different urban typologies on wind regime expected in open areas between buildings. The goal is to develop a method for analyzing these effects and give advices and general guidelines for sensible planning in open public areas in accordance to wind comfort standards. The results of the study can function as an auxiliary tool that enables designers to estimate the suggested plans already in its early design stages.
In this study, a system was developed for systematic analysis of the effects of geometrical parameters of different typologies on the wind climate in open spaces between buildings. This system enables, on the basis of qualitative-quantitative analysis of the test results, to develop recommendations and determine the recommended outdoor activities for people; activities that can take place in open areas of the examined urban typologies. The conclusion of the analysis were concentrated on information sheets and will help the designers during the decision making process in the beginning of the design stage.
The study focuses in studying the anticipated wind climate in an open public space surrounded with a built environment. It was decided to focus on the examinations of simple schematic urban typologies, in different proportions and in a different height. The geometrical parameters of the open areas and schematic built components that determine the examined typologies were defined. Also, the organization of the urban typologies matrix based on proportion and built height is described.
The advantages of the suggested system are the graphical, easy to use, recommendations and the guidelines. They enable the planner with general knowledge to make quick decisions and apply the correct principles for open public spaces in respect to opening or closing them to the wind. | [

The Kia Sedona Minivan already has a lot to offer on the outside but the interior will not be overshadowed by the exterior design either as new images of the interior were released online this week.
Kia is calling the new interior design the Spatial Talents which is referred to as the way the designer made the most out of the interior. The main focus is the new instrument panel that consists of a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster along with a 12.3 infotainment screen.
On top of that, the vehicle will also be getting better materials on the inside along with a few more tech. The second-row passengers will now get a new USB outlet on the front seatbacks.
The Kia Sedona comes powered with a 3.3-liter V6 engine that will be offering about 276hp and 248lb ft of torque but the next-gen model should be coming in with the same engine option as the Sorento which includes the 2.5 liters turbocharged four-cylinder engine and the 1.6 liters turbocharged four-cylinder hybrid engine. | [

he expansion of the ultra-low emission zone to the edge of the North and South Circular roads resulted in an astonishing 60 per cent reduction in the number of non-compliant vehicles being driven in inner London.
This included a 63 per cent reduction in the number of “dirty” diesel cars – those which break the Ulez rules and would have to pay the £12.50-a-day levy.
Their number reduced from 79,000 to 29,000 a day in the 12 months after the Ulez was expanded to the suburbs in October 2021.
A report by Transport for London, analysing the impact of the first year of the Ulez expansion, said the “significant” fall in the dirtiest diesels was a “key metric of success for the policy in removing harmful emissions from the city”.
But the 96-page report also revealed that levels of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) in central London – the same area as the congestion charge zone, covering the West End and City of London financial district – had risen since the Ulez was expanded.
The Ulez was credited with reducing NO2 levels in central London by 56 per cent in central London and 22 per cent in inner London between October and December 2021.
But by October last year, this had fallen to 46 per cent and 21 per cent – a finding likely to be seized upon by opponents of expanding the Ulez for a second time to the Greater London boundary.
The report said: “Central London roadside concentrations have risen slightly since the end of the pandemic as traffic returns to central London. As the concentrations have risen the Ulez impact has therefore reduced.”
But it said NO2 remained below pre-pandemic levels – showing the Ulez’s “sustained and positive impacts on pollution” by encouraging drivers to switch to cleaner vehicles.
The Ulez expansion to the inner boundaries of the North and South Circulars increased the zone’s size by 18 times and means it now covers four million Londoners.
Mayor Sadiq Khan has decided to extend the zone across all 33 boroughs on August 29, which he says will deliver cleaner air for five million more Londoners.
The first-year report said 94.4 per cent of vehicles driving within the current zone complied with the rules and did not have to pay the levy.
Prior to the zone’s widening, only 86.9 per cent of vehicles met the exhaust emission standards.
The total number of vehicles seen within the zone on an average day has fallen by 4.9 per cent, from 950,000 to 903,000.
Of these, the number of non-compliant vehicles has reduced from 124,000 to 50,000 – a drop of 74,000, or 59.7 per cent.
But this means TfL is raising less cash – about £400,000 a day. More than a quarter of non-compliant vehicles are exempt from paying the levy or the £180 penalty fines.
The Ulez has encouraged motorists to switch to cleaner vehicles – there has been a 3.1 per cent increase in compliant vehicles, up from 826,000 to 852,000.
Mr Khan said: “The evidence from this landmark report is clear – the Ulez works. This is beyond dispute.
“With the majority of deaths attributable to air pollution in outer London, it’s vital that we expand the Ulez London-wide.”
But Nick Rogers, City Hall Conservatives transport spokesperson, said: “Sadiq Khan’s Ulez expansion will have a negligible effect on air quality in outer London, while hitting low income and vulnerable families hardest.
“Sadiq Khan needs to listen to Londoners, scrap his expansion, and spend the money on policies that actually reduce air pollution.”
The report also reveals the biggest cut in emissions has been seen in the bus fleet – which is not subject to the Ulez rules.
There has been a 75 per cent reduction in NO2 emissions from London buses since 2019, following the retro-fitting of cleaner engines and replacement of old vehicles with electric buses. | [

Casey: A child's birthright should be love, security and education
Miracles of both kinds appear every day, the miracles of birth and of death, of recovery and of loss. It is as the poet Alison Townsend describes it: "And I thought of how we couldn't live if we knew what lay before us, our sorrows and losses raked up into piles like leaves we burn or haul to the roadside or leave exactly where they are."
We see images of what we call "natural" destruction in Iran and in Sri Lanka. In the Sudan we see images of death, brutalization, and destruction that are man-made and not natural. We read of people who blow themselves up in order to harm others and, at the same time, we see raw acts of courage in Ukraine, Iraq, and up and down the streets of our own neighborhoods where families struggle to safeguard and honor their loved ones.
It is these extremes we see that make us so intensely abhor aberrant behavior. We know how fragile life is. We know that loss is a permanent condition. We cannot comprehend fathers who abuse their children, mothers who do not protect their youngsters, and boyfriends who kill the partners they once loved.
Yet every day, it seems, there is another story of familial terror -- terror that has often been sustained over years, terror that has robbed young people of anything resembling a normal childhood, terror that defines any relationship as something to be feared.
It is the story of "Baby 81," the Sri Lankan infant torn from his mother's arms during the December tsunami, that bolsters us when we become downhearted. In addition to his mother, eight other women claimed the baby as their own, so desperate was their desire to continue to be a mother to a living child. But the biological parents prevailed in their claim to this little boy. They immediately gave thanks in their Hindu temple. Relatives joined in the prayers of thanksgiving. And then, the Associated Press reports, the father stated quite simply his wish, "I want to teach my child well and bring him up as any other parents would."
The desire of the mother and the father is hauntingly basic: they want to raise a little boy who enjoys all that we consider normal, all that we consider to be a child's birthright: love; security; the opportunity to learn. They want the child to grow up looking to his parents as safe harbor, constant in their commitment to him, willing to fight for him.
The BBC reports that "In Sri Lanka, children are believed to make up about 40 percent of the dead." And the Washington Post, reporting on the visit of former presidents Bush and Clinton to Indonesia, says of the village of Lampuuk: "The village had 6,500 inhabitants before the Dec. 26 disaster. Only 700 remain." There is no question: Our time here is brief, uncertain, and at risk. But in the time allocated to us, ours is the opportunity to protect and nurture life and to instill in our young a profound respect for life. Neither self-immolation nor war-making nor violence of any sort toward our own kind can ever legitimately be set forth as the reason for our being here.
Again to Alison Townsend who, in her poem "Instinct," reflects on a moose who has lost her calf: "I saw the way the mother moose stood for days beside her dead/calf, licking at it, nuzzling the still form that had already begun to decay/--its coat tattered as worm-eaten velvet -- as if her presence could make/ it rise again, stalks of legs unfolding beneath it like lengths of burnished/ sapling birch, the film disappearing from its eyes the way fog burns off/ a pond in midsummer."
In her linkage of the moose and her calf, Townsend is talking about love and betrayal, life and death, and pure devotion. She is implying that, in the animal kingdom, a parent is a parent forever and never wavers. It is an image worth pocketing. | [

“Is It True What They Say About Freemasonry?” by Arturo de Hoyos and S. Brent Morris
For as long as there have been Freemasons, there has been a calculated effort to disparage and discredit them as well as their practices. But why does this incessant attack exist, and where does it originate from? In this insightful text, masons Arturo de Hoyos and S. Brent Morris explore the origins of the anti-Masonic mind-set and delve into the falsehoods on which critics have based these perennial sentiments. Confronting opponents one at a time, the authors methodically debunk the myths that have surrounded Freemasonry since its establishment, investigating the motives and misconceptions that drive these antagonists to spread deceit about Masonic traditions. With close readings and thorough research, they uncover a history of fallacies that have been handed down through the generations, and ultimately expose anti-Masonic prejudices that reach almost three hundred years into the past.
“The Genesis of Freemasonry” By David Harrison
This book is a revealing but thoroughly enjoyable journey through the intricate history of English Freemasonry. Historian Dr. David Harrison reconstructs the hidden history of the movement, tracing its roots through a mixture of mediaeval guild societies, alchemy and necromancy. He examines the earliest known Freemasons and their obsessions with Solomon s Temple, alchemy, and prophecy, to the formation of the Grand Lodge in London, which in turn led to rebellions within the Craft throughout England. Harrison also analyzes the role of French immigrant, Dr Jean Theophilus Desaguliers in the development of English Freemasonry, focusing on his involvement with the formation of the mysterious modern Masonic ritual. All Freemasons and more general readers will find much of interest in this fascinating exploration of the very beginnings of Freemasonry, still one of the most mysterious brotherhoods in the world.
“Committed to the Flames: The History and Rituals of a Secret Masonic Rite” by Arturo de Hoyos and S. Brent Morris
In 1826 Robert Benjamin Folger, a recent graduate of medical school and a new Master Mason, filled a book with the enciphered Craft rituals of the Rectified Scottish Rite, a high-grade revision of the rite of Strict Observance. well-known in Europe but unknown in the UNited States. His introduction directed thatthe rituals be “committed to the Flames” upon his death. FOrtunatley for Masonic historians instructions were not followed. Folger went on to prepare at least two other books of rituals. A man of tremendous talents, strongpassions, and curious contradictions, Folger was twice expelled from Masonry by the Grand Lodge of New York and participated in at least six clandestine Supreme Councils, but died a Master Mason in good standing. The book gives full transcriptions of all og his rituals, an analysis of their place in Masonry and biographies of Folger and his major contemporaries in his Masonic work.

Va. Lawmakers Head Back To Richmond On Medicaid Expansion
Vice President Joseph Biden believes that GOP officials in every state will have to accept the expansion. And Florida's Sen. Bill Nelson, a Democrat, said he's talked with federal officials about a plan to go around the GOP-controlled state legislature.
The Washington Post: Virginia Lawmakers Return To Richmond To Try To Break Impasse Over Medicaid Expansion
Virginia’s pitched battle over Medicaid expansion returns to the Capitol on Monday with no indication that Gov. Terry McAuliffe is any closer to a deal on his top priority. Two weeks after an impasse over Medicaid prevented passage of a two-year, $96 billion budget, the legislature is coming back to Richmond to try again in a special session (Vozzella, 3/22).
The New York Times: Virginia Governor Finds Jollity Is No Guarantee Against Gridlock
The sticking point forcing the special session is Mr. McAuliffe’s desire to expand Medicaid to up to 400,000 of Virginia’s poor and disabled under the Affordable Care Act. The proposal was a centerpiece of his campaign last year and his top priority in office,... His opponents are just as dug in, noting that in the three weeks since Republicans defeated expansion in a test vote in the House, 67 to 32, there have been no defections on their side (Gabriel, 3/23).
The Washington Post: Biden: GOP Governors Will Eventually Take Medicaid Expansion
Vice President Biden predicted Friday that Republican governors who have declined the federal Medicaid expansion will eventually be forced to reverse course and take the expansion because of political pressure. Speaking to the National Association of Community Health Centers in Washington, Biden criticized the GOP governors who have declined the extra funding but said he expects them to come around. "I'm convinced, as a practitioner of the so-called art of politics, that they... will not be able to sustain the heat," Biden said. (Blake, 3/21).
The Hill: GOP Governor: Medicaid Expansion Is A Conservative Ideal
Ohio GOP Gov. John Kasich is defending his decision to expand Medicaid in the state, saying the move is a logical reflection of conservative values.... Kasich's assessment [on Fox News Sunday] runs starkly counter to that coming from many conservatives – including many members of Ohio's Republican legislature – who characterize ObamaCare's broad Medicaid expansion as a case of big-government overreach... Adopting a Democratic line, [Kasich] emphasized that the expansion of the low-income health insurance program will bring billions of dollars to Ohio while benefiting some of the state's most vulnerable people (Billis, 3/23).
The Washington Post: Florida Senator's Secret Medicaid Expansion Plan Won’t Work
Florida is one of 24 states that hasn't joined Obamacare's Medicaid expansion, which would cover about 1.3 million uninsured adults in the state and bring in about $51 billion in federal funds over the next decade. Only Texas stands to benefit more from the Medicaid expansion. Florida Sen. Bill Nelson said he's talking with federal health officials on a plan to go around the state legislature, which strongly opposes expanding Medicaid. But federal officials say their hands are tied (Millman, 3/21). | [

Lausanne is spread out along the shore of Lake Geneva, surrounded by suburbs. There are two sections in particular that attract the most visitors -- the Upper Town (Haute Ville) and the once-industrial neighborhood of Flon, which collectively comprise the oldest parts of the city, and the Lower Town (Basse Ville), and its lake-fronting district of Ouchy; the two sections are connected by a small subway (metro). The metro features 14 separate stations, incorporating Lausanne with many of its outlying suburbs. This is the only underground (metro) in Switzerland.
Lausanne's Upper Town still evokes the Middle Ages -- a night watchman calls out the hours from 10pm to 2am from atop the cathedral's belfry. A visit to the Haute Ville takes about 2 hours and is best done on foot. In fact, walking through the old town of Lausanne is one of its major attractions. It's easy to get lost -- and that's part of the fun. This area is north of the railroad station; you can reach it by proceeding uphill along rue du Petit-Chêne. The focal point of the Upper Town, and the shopping and business heart of Lausanne, is place Saint-François. The Church of St. François, from the 13th century, is all that remains of an old Franciscan friary. Today, the square is filled with office blocks and the main post office; regrettably, La Grotte, the villa with the terrace on which Edward Gibbon completed The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire in 1787, was torn down in 1896 to make room for the post office. While vehicles are permitted south of the church, the historic area to the north of the church is a pedestrian-only zone; it has more than 2km (1 1/4 miles) of streets, including rue de Bourg, northeast of the church, the best street for shopping. Rue de Bourg leads to the large, bustling rue Caroline, which winds north to Pont des Bessières, one of the three bridges erected at the turn of the 20th century to connect the three hills on which Lausanne was built. From the bridge, you'll see the Haute Ville on your right, with the 13th-century cathedral of Lausanne, opening onto place de la Cathédrale. From the square, rue du Cité-de-Vant goes north to the 14th-century Château Saint-Maire, on place du Château -- once the home of bishops and now containing the offices of the canton administration.
From here, avenue de l'Université leads to place de la Riponne, the site of Lausanne's biweekly food and produce markets (Wed and Sat May-Oct 8am-1pm), where stalls loaded with the agrarian bounty of the district are set up within the square and the streets around its perimeter. The Palais de Rumine rises from the place de la Riponne's east side. From place de la Riponne, rue Pierre-Viret leads to the Escaliers du Marché, a covered stairway dating back to the Middle Ages. You can also take rue Madeleine from the place de la Riponne, continuing south to place de la Palud. On the side of place de la Palud is the 17th-century Hôtel de Ville (town hall).
South of place de la Palud is rue du Pont, which turns into rue Saint-François (after crossing rue Centrale). Nearby, at place du Flon, you can catch the subway to Ouchy. Place du Flon, with its cafes and bars, is a favorite evening hangout.
Ouchy, once a sleepy fishing hamlet, is now the port and hotel resort area of Lausanne. The lakefront of Lausanne consists of shady quays and tropical plants spread across a lakefront district of about half a mile. Adjoining place de la Navigation is place du Port immediately to the east. Quai de Belgique and quai d'Ouchy are lakefront promenades bursting with greenery and offering the best views of the lake.

Christmas in London
Uncategorized at December 1, 2015on
You’re probably thinking London in the winter? Really? With all the dreariness and rain it sure does not seem like the place to spend your Christmas! But with all the Christmas lights and decorations that fill the streets, Christmas can’t get any more enchanting.
If you’re a newbie to London you would most likely enjoy going to places where you will feel the grandeur and glory of London. Book a table at top restaurants for a romantic dinner or go for a long stroll in the beautiful Hyde Park or along the River Thames from London Bridge to the London Eye. The sight of the Big Ben and the House of Parliament from across the river will not disappoint you.
- I don’t know anyone who has not fantasized about ice skating wearing a dramatic Victorian style dress and beaver muffs, on the fantastically elaborate Victorian terracotta building in the background at the Natural History Museum. Set in the heart of South Kensington, the ice-rink is lit up by 80,000 fairy lights and becomes a dreamy place as the sun goes down. If you need to warm up go museum hopping in the area. The Science Museum and the Victorian & Albert Museum are both nearby.
- Somerset House is another ice-skating site that is sure to blow you away. This spectacular Neo-Classical building is situated between the Strand and the River Thames and its impressive courtyard is often a center of cultural events including the London Fashion Week.
- Across the Waterloo Bridge there is another fun ice rink by the London Eye. Enjoy the festive Winter Market in Southbank after the ice-skating session. There are always lots of outdoor activities along the River Thames and around the National Theatre.
- Christmas Attractions
- It doesn’t feel like Christmas without the Nutcracker. This classic is guaranteed to put you in a merry mood. The production by the English National Ballet at London Coliseumis something you don’t want to miss. The Railway Children is a breathtaking show for both adults and children alike. The stage set was built around real train tracks and the 60 ton locomotive will blow away young (and old) minds.
- Christmas Shopping
- If you’re bored of Harrods and Bond Street shopping, go on over to Dover Street Market in Mayfair. Tucked away on Dover Street from the hustle and bustle of Piccadilly, this avant-garde concept store with a minimalist design was created by Rei Kawakubo. Not only is it a great spot for sourcing cutting-edge items but also for resting with a perfect cup of coffee, cakes or salads at Rose Bakery on the fourth floor. Started in Paris, this hip and intimate cafe has a cult following.
- If you want to experience London Department shopping Liberty is highly recommended. It’s an essential London store in the sense that it has a rich history and still feels Victorian with its interconnecting rooms and the store design, yet it always manages to stay remarkably innovative and trendsetting.
- Who says adults can’t have fun? The legendary Hamleys on Regent Street is the oldest toy store in London, established in 1760. From Nov. 21 to Dec. 24, children can participate in an hour-long session filled with activities that include singing, games, snacks and meeting Father Christmas. Skip the usual electronic toys and ubiquitous items that you can purchase online. Instead, be amused by the life-size Royal Family made with Lego blocks and pick up one or two souvenirs that say London, such as Paddington Bear. It gets overwhelming during the day so go early (possibly with a thick wallet and lots of patience).
We hope you have a very Happy Christmas Planning!

Q.Rosemary Plants Dried Out
I live in Allentown, Pennsylvania and had two rosemary plants doing great all year until end of February after a big snowstorm and very cold temperatures. I noticed in March that one was all brown, except for one or two branches. The other one has about ten green branches. I tried to cut them back and give them plenty of water, but they’re not doing any better. Any suggestions, or is it too late to save them? Should I wait a little longer? We really enjoyed the cuttings and smell last year.
Rosemary is a Mediterranean plant and won't take kindly to snow and ice! Most varieties of Rosemary don't necessarily sprout on old wood and often won't recover a good shape once they have suffered "the brown" state, so if you do not like the shape of your rosemary bushes now, why don't you take some cuttings from the new growth and pot them up? Remove the lower leaves and insert two or three cuttings per pot of fresh potting mix. After watering, put the pots in a warm sheltered spot (no direct sunshine) Do not over water but remember to water the pots when the soil starts to dry a little. It will only be a matter of weeks before your cuttings sprout roots and once they have had a season's growth they may be "potted on" to individual larger pots or planted out into your garden. To speed up the root growing process you may like to use root growth hormone prior to planting. Remember to use a dibber or pencil to make the hole for the cutting as pushing the cuttings directly into the soil may damage the end of the cutting. Using a sharp knife to removing a sliver of bark along two sides of the bare part of the cutting may also help. Press the soil firmly into the hole and around the cutting before watering. | [

My name is Jeffrey L. Diamond, and I am a writer, producer, and director with forty years of experience in television news. I am also the author of the Ethan Benson thriller series that you can read all about here on my new blog on my new author website. My novels are all set in the pressure cooker world of broadcast journalism and chronicle the life of my hero, Ethan Benson—an award-winning investigative reporter, producer, and crime-fighting sleuth who works for a fictional television newsmagazine called The Weekly Reporter. So are you beginning to see what I’m driving at? Have you made the connection between me and my books? Well, in case you haven’t figured it out, let me tell you. My three murder mysteries—Live to Air, Live to Tape, and Live to the Network—are all based on my personal experiences producing dozens and dozens of crime stories, mostly for the television newsmagazine, 20/20. The killers, rapists, gang members, hit men, and basic ne’er-do-wells in my books are fictionalized versions of the nasty characters and despicable bad guys who I met and reported on during my career. Their crimes, habits, idiosyncrasies, and volatile personalities are all based on the deviants I researched, studied, and got to know while making my television news stories.
Now that’s something to chew on when you read my novels.
Ethan, too, is not dreamed up out of thin air, nor are the other characters in my books. Peter Sampson, Paul Lang, Mindy Herman, and the myriad of researchers, camera crews, editors and production people who populate my thrillers are all loosely based on the people I worked with at 20/20, Dateline NBC, FOX News, and even Martha Stewart Living Television, where I spent a harrowing year running the television division of her company. And that, my friends, was truly a whacky experience. So if you want to really understand what I’m talking about, read my novels and immerse yourself in Ethan Benson world.
Okay, so now that I’ve given you my pitch, you might be wondering why should I bother reading yet another blog by some relatively unknown guy who calls himself a novelist and an authority on television news. Well, rest assured—I promise that this blog will be very different from the others that you read. Because here on my blog I’ll be discussing many of my most harrowing experiences covering many of the hottest stories of the past few decades. And I’ll be discussing how I worked with some of the most demanding superstars, reported on some of the most famous personalities, and yes, investigated some of the most notorious criminals of our times. Plus, I’ll be writing about how I process all of these real life experiences when I’m dreaming up the stories I write about in my Ethan Benson thrillers. So look for my biweekly postings. I promise it will be worth your while. | [

Phytantriol Q224 cubic phase, as a bicontinuous meso-structured material stable in contact with aqueous electrolyte, has found applications in drug delivery and cosmetics and is employed here as a free-standing film separating two aqueous compartments in order to study i) ion conductivity (at low potential bias within ±0.8V), ii) conductivity switching effects (at high potential bias beyond ±0.8V), and iii) phase switching effects (as a function of temperature). A microhole of approximately 20μm diameter in a 6μm thick poly-ethylene-terephthalate film is employed as the support coated with phytantriol (on a single side or on both sides) in contact with aqueous electrolyte phase on both sides in a classic four-electrode measurement cell. The conductivity of the phytantriol phase within the microhole is shown to be ionic strength, applied potential, time/history, and temperature dependent. The experimental data for asymmetric phytantriol deposits are indicative of a microhole resistance that can be switched between two states (high and low resistance associated with a filled or empty microhole, respectively). When heating symmetrically applied films of phytantriol, Q224-to-HII phase transition linked to a jump to a higher specific resistivity is observed, which is consistent with differential scanning calorimetry data for this phase transition.

Without even a film of his release to date, Vaishnav Tej is in the good books of the industry. Though he does not have great looks, Vaishnav is being lauded for his acting skills these days.
Because of that Krish also made a film with him and Rakul and that project is also complete as of now. There is news now in the Krish camp that Vaishnav has been offered yet another film by Krish in his banner.
The inside info is that Krish will be making a film with Tej that will be directed by one of his assistants. This film will once again be a small budget drama with realistic narration. So, Tej junior looks set in his career as of now.Follow @THEPANIPURI | [

One war, one soldier, one enduring love
1939: In a village in south-east Nigeria on the brink of the Second World War, young Obi watches from a mango tree as a colonial army jeep speeds by, filled with soldiers laughing and shouting, their buttons shining in the sun. To Obi, their promise of a smart uniform and regular wages is hard to resist, especially as he has his sweetheart Rose to impress and a family to support.
Years later, when Rose falls pregnant to another man, his heart is shattered. As the Burma Campaign mounts, and Obi is shipped out to fight, he is haunted by the mystery of Rose’s lover. When his identity comes to light, Obi’s devastation leads to a tragic chain of unexpected events.
In ROSE AND THE BURMA SKY, Rosanna Amaka weaves together the realities of war, the pain of first love and how following your heart might not always be the best course of action. Its gritty boy’s-eye view brings a spare and impassioned intensity, charging it with universal resonance and power.
Part love story, party mystery. Superb ― GLAMOUR, Best Books for February
[H]er narrative soars … Amaka’s perspective is refreshing. She vividly conveys how the historical injustice of colonialism continues to reverberate down the decades. ― OBSERVER
An emotionally resonant and lyrically written story of one young man’s heartbreak, set against the trauma of a world falling apart ― IRISH TIMES
Tackling themes of war, colonialism and first love, this novel follows a boy from a Nigerian village on the cusp of the Second World War. ― COSMOPOLITAN, The Best New Books Out in February 2023
‘Powerful, lyrical, and with a central character so wracked with love, he goes to war, deeply relatable’ ANN NAPOLITANO, author of Dear Edward

How do I convert kVA to kW?
The kW to kVA Formula:Apparent power (kVA) x power factor (pf) = actual power (kW)e.g.
100 kVA x 0.8 = 80 kW.The formula for converting kW into kVA is:Actual power (kW) / power factor (pf) = apparent power (kVA)1 ton = 200 BTU/minute.1 ton = 12,000 BTU/hour.1 ton = 3.517 kilowatts..
How many watts is 1kVA?
This means that the formula for watts = volts x amps x power factor. For example, 1kVA UPS from N1C has the capacity to power 900 watts of connected equipment. This means the UPS has a “power factor” of 0.9.
What is kVA electricity?
A KVA is simply 1,000 volt amps. A volt is electrical pressure. An amp is electrical current. A term called apparent power (the absolute value of complex power, S) is equal to the product of the volts and amps. On the other hand, a watt (W) is a measurement of real power.
What is kV and kVA?
kV is the unit for Volts of the order 10^3. To put it simply, it means kilo Volts. wheras kVA stands for kilo Volts Amperes. It described the total power found by multiplying the Voltage rating or input to the system multiplied with the total current flowing through the circuit of the system.

10 years ago I started making my first flutes with canes (Arundo donax). After many tests and errors, the Neys (Arabic flute) had a really nice sound. I added the Kawala (Arabic flute), which has some similarities with the Ney. Some years later, in love with the sound of sakuhachis (Japanese flute), I started working with bamboo and build these flutes as well.
All flutes are handcrafted with reeds that I have collected and dried myself for a minimum of one year, which makes each one unique in its sound and appearance.
You can find my flutes in my ETSY online store: | [

Pyongyang, January 27 (KCNA) -- The DPRK's course of great creation and changes for prosperity of the country and happiness of posterity is associated with the undying patriotic feats of the peerlessly great men who unrolled a grand plan for transforming nature and glorified a new history of tideland reclamation.
President Kim Il Sung published the work "Let Us Increase the Area of Cropland by Reclaiming Large Areas of Tideland" on January 27, Juche 71 (1982) to indicate the tasks for dynamically carrying out the reclamation of tideland, an important part of the country's agricultural development.
A new history of tideland reclamation was made on this land under the leadership of the President who gave field guidance to the project for reclaiming Pidansom tideland, the first of its kind in the country.
In the 1960s when the country was making progress at the Chollima speed, Pidansom tideland of 5 500 hectares was reclaimed and in the 1970s, Tasado tideland was reclaimed followed by Kangryong, Unryul and other large tidelands.
Chairman Kim Jong Il took all necessary measures for tideland reclamation although he was busy leading the arduous march unprecedented in history to victory.
The great love and trust of Kim Jong Il, who provided on a preferential basis lots of vehicles despite hardships and put forward the tideland builders as performers of feats to be remembered by the country and the people for all ages, resulted in the miracle like the appearance of Taegyedo Reclaimed Tideland whose scale is as huge as the West Sea Barrage.
The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un has wisely led the struggle to successfully complete the tideland reclamation projects that would play a big role in developing the self-supporting economy of the country and improving the people's living standard.
Under his energetic guidance, miraculous myths of construction were created on the west coast and the wealth of the country increased one after another in the new century of Juche.
Builders of tideland, intensely loyal to the call of the Party, are now fully displaying the spirit of fortitude in the reclamation of Phyongwon, Kakhoedo and other tidelands. | [

The army special forces will be armed with the Tiger-M armored vehicle with the Arbalet-DM combat module capable of shooting down drones. As reported "News" with reference to the Ministry of Defense, armored vehicles have already been tested.
"Tiger-M" with BM "Arbalet-DM" were tested by units of the army special forces in the south of the country. The tests were recognized as successful; as a result, the Ministry of Defense decided to equip special forces in other military districts with armored vehicles. It is reported that in 2021 armored cars with the Arbalet-DM combat module will receive army special forces and reconnaissance of the Western and Central military districts.
It is noted that the combat module "Arbalet-DM" with a large-caliber 12,7 mm machine gun, thanks to full stabilization and software, perfectly knocks drones down not only from a place, but also in motion. The software installed on the BM allows you to automatically capture and track aerial targets, including small drones, and a 12,7 mm bullet, when it hits, almost completely destroys the drone.
On tests carried out in 2020 in the Krasnodar Territory during exercises, a special forces group using the Arbalet-DM BM detected and destroyed the drones of a conventional enemy at a distance of 1,5 km. After the reconnaissance units used the Tiger-M armored vehicles with the Crossbow at the Kavkaz-2020 exercises, it was decided to supply additional batches of armored cars to the troops.
It is noted that a large-caliber machine gun with auto-tracking and good optics is the most practical option for dealing with small drones, which are too small a target for anti-aircraft missile systems, including portable ones and are too far away to be hit by small arms. weapons and "anti-drone" guns. | [

Before I continue chronicling our trip, I wanted to report that The Beverly Review published an article about our trip while we were away: “Woman Makes Great Connections for Area Students.”
Last week I showed our Great Connections Travelers at the Parthenon of the Athenian Acropolis. This temple to Athena, goddess of the city, is but one of the magnificent structures, such as the theater shown above, on this rocky outcropping, high above Athens.
We learned from The Life of Greece by Will Durant and from our guide, that this was the original site of the city where the Bronze Age inhabitants created a highly defensible fortress. The difficulty of scaling the height, and a spring, which allowed inhabitants to stay in the fortress, enabled the development of the city. The Acropolis also had a secret passage down through the rock and out at the bottom that Theseus, the mythical king and founder of unified Attica, used to defend against attackers.
I can’t recommend The Life of Greece more – it is an immensely informative history, in which the historical, cultural, military, philosophical, and artistic aspects of the ancient world are remarkably integrated. Reading it is more like reading a fiction story than a history – and I recommend the version on Audible, because it is so beautifully written it’s great to hear as a story.
Unbeknown to us, Greece had been geographically isolated from the rest of Europe by the Eastern Block countries during the Cold War and the communist pressure was intense. Now, a former part of the Eastern Block has renamed itself The Republic of Macedonia — and Greece objects. Macedonia has long been part of Greece. The two countries are attempting to resolve the issue with a new name, the Republic of Northern Macedonia. But not all the Greeks were happy about it, as you can see above. This was something we learned while we were in Athens, when we visited the headquarters of Kefim.org – the Greek Center for Liberal Studies. This organization is fighting to expand individual rights and free markets throughout Greece. Its members are highly aware of Greece’s fundamental role in the development of free societies.
All that remains of Plato’s school is gardens and a few stone foundations, outlining the Palestra (wrestling arena), swimming pool (pysna), and a small house-like structure for discussions. Traveler Bill Rein contemplates the wonder of it above.
Findings under the Acropolis Museum.
Traveler Bob Balocca enjoys the diggings visible under the museum. Fabulous artwork is housed here. Lucky for us, a traveling bust of Aristotle was on display that day.
Aristotle’s school, the Lyceum (named after the temple to Apollo Lyceus, the wolf-god) was only rediscovered in 1996 in a park! Now it’s behind a Byzantine Museum (buildings in the background). It existed from 335 BC until the Roman general Sulla destroyed it in 86 BC in an assault on Athens. However, the organization of the school was revived under Roman rule until the 3rd century AD.
Containing a swimming pool and other athletic facilities, it had garden walks around which Aristotle lectured to his students. This gave the school the name Peripatetic – walkers. Aristotle established the school as the first research institute, continuing his work of collecting, examining, describing and analyzing living organisms from around the world, which he started in his time on Lesvos (I’ll talk about the exotic animals and plants we saw on that island in the next post).
Ancient writers reported that his pupil, Alexander the Great, enthusiastically helped with this project by sending specimens from the worlds that he conquered, all the way to India.
In the picture above, from the left, David Kelley, our guide Varvara, Ray Raad, Marsha Enright, Nimish Adhia and Matt Faherty in the front row, and Ricardo Mihura, Ian Mihura, Vickie Oddino, Bill Rein, and Scott Barton in the back, read over a map of the ruins. There’s considerable active work going on, excavating even more of the school.
Day two of our explorations ended in a downpour at the Ancient Agora! | [

1. Should kids know more about stars and planets?
I thinM it is important to encourage all types of learning and a desire for knowledge in children. Therefore, I think kids should know more about the stars and planets. Astronomy is a very important and valuable subject to learn and interest in stars and planets is a good way to kindle this in young children. Children love trying to find constellations in the sky and learning the ancient stories behind them.
2. Is high technology helpful for star watching?
There have been some very helpful recent developments in advanced technology which have aided star watching. There are huge developments in technology which have advanced and improved observatories all around the world. New telescopes and satellites with cameras are creating the clearest picture of the sky we have ever had as a society. However, even the common person has new and helpful technologies. There are now applications on your phone which help map out the night sky and show where constellations are.
3. What kind of people are interested in stars?
I think every person has some sort of interest in the stars. The night sky and the stars in it has captivated the human mind for thousands of years. Observation of the stars can be traced back to some of our oldest texts and architectures. Therefore, there is something innate about being interested in stars. However, some people are definitely more interested than others. Those with astronomical or astrological interests.
4. Why do some people like to watch movies about stars or planets?
I think people like to watch movies about stars or planets because it is a whole realm of fantasy that our imagination can enjoy. We have explored the entire earth so it is hard to set imaginative fantasy films on this planet. However, we have explored a miniscule proportion of space. Therefore, peopled imaginations can run wild in movies about stars or planets. It is for this reason that the Star Wars movies are so good and loved by so many people. | [

District 1 Alderman Daniel Sutton will not face any penalties from the Waukesha County District Attorney’s Office for failing to properly label his campaign literature.
Sutton was informed Wednesday of his fate after his opponent, former judge Richard Steinberg, filed a complaint stating Sutton failed to disclose who paid for campaign fliers and pamphlets.
Penalties up to a $500 fine were possible, but according to Sutton, he was told simply to be mindful of the rules. Sutton says he has already stamped the rest of his literature and will be in full compliance moving forward.

Cadmium-based stabiliser systems have been used for many years due to their excellent performance qualities.Cadmium-bearing stabilisers are used to retard the degradation processes which occur in polyvinylchloride (PVC) and related polymers on exposure to heat and ultra violet light (sunlight). These stabilisers consist of mixtures of barium, lead and cadmium organic salts, usually cadmium stearate or cadmium laurate, which are incorporated into the PVC before processing and which arrest any degradation reactions as soon as they occur. They ensure that PVC develops good initial colour and clarity and allow high processing temperatures to be employed. They also ensure a longer service life for the PVC. Cadmium-bearing stabilisers also allow higher temperature processing for some PVC resins and impart dynamic and thermal stability to resins processed in calendering (sheet rolling) operations.
Barium/cadmium stabilisers typically contain between 1 and 15 per cent cadmium and usually constitute about 0.5 to 2.5 per cent of the final PVC compound.
They are used in semi-rigid and flexible foil for products such as roofing membranes hoses, electrical insulation and in rigid applications for outdoor use such as window profiles and drainpipes.
Restrictions on use
Many regions have banned the use of cadmium in PVC for food contact materials and children’s toys.
In the European Union area, their use was phased out voluntarily as part of the PVC industry's Voluntary Commitment of 2000 (Vinyl 2010) due to concerns about toxicity and possible accumulation in the body. Since 2011 its used has been banned in the EU by entry 23 of annex XVII to REACH. The European PVC industry has put in place commercially viable alternatives to cadmium and lead-based compounds. They have been replaced by barium/zinc stabilizers in foils.
The International Cadmium Association (ICdA) is a non-profit association representing the interests of the world’s cadmium industry. Its Members include producers, processors, recyclers and consumers of cadmium metal, cadmium compounds, and products to which cadmium or its compounds have intentionally been added.

Some chancers from the social media wing of the far-right decided they would attempt to cash-in on the recent Pegida bubble. Here’s what happened on their first National rally in the UK.
Words and pictures by our man in the field, DM.
Pegida UK got off to a bad start by arranging their first demo in Newcastle when the Toon were at home. The cops had their excuse to ban the march – unless Pegida held it at 9.30 in the morning – so it was demoted to a static rally at 11.00 on Saturday 28th February.
By 9.30 the police presence in Newcastle was already significant as preparations were made to ‘facilitate’ the far-right gathering.
After realising the planned BNP march from Monument to the rally site wasn’t going to happen, I walked down to the Bigg Market to find – with just 20…

Once again Berwick put up a magnificent display of solidarity in opposing the racist Scottish Defence League and their fascist friends the North East Infidels marching in our streets last Saturday.
After our boisterous but good natured and orderly march up and down the town we held a rally at Marygate. The theme was “whose streets? our streets”, “whose town? our town”, “whose walls?” and so on.
In other words, the town belongs to us, not to shipped in, masked up fascists and racists who came from across Scotland and England to whip up racism in Berwick.
Our final rally at the Guildhall had Jim Herbert introduce a series of speakers: local trades unionists; Berwick Trades Union Council; Unite Against Fascism Scotland; Newcastle “People’s Assembly”; Berwick Migrant Support Group; and local people of no particular affiliation.
The speakers addressed many of the concerns of local people. The trades union council in particular has had some criticism on how best to deal with the fascists. Some have argued that it’s best to ignore them and they’ll eventually go away. And that they are only coming here to seek confrontation.
Many of our speakers, some of whom with a vast experience on this, explained that this is profoundly mistaken. History demonstrates that where they are ignored they grow, they gain confidence and locals inclined to these insidious views, on seeing no opposition, join them.
One of the reasons overtly fascist and racist parties have failed in the UK is precisely because of local opposition initiated by the trades union movement.
Berwick Trades Union Council and the RMT union branch are proud of standing in this fine tradition. To keep Berwick safe, diverse and welcoming “good people”, as Albert Einstein explained, have to do something to oppose evil.
The SDL and NEI have dedicated their hateful existence to attacking Asian people and Muslims. Islamophobia – bigotry against Muslims is as unacceptable as any other form of racism. It tries to divide us by scapegoating one community, just as the Nazis did with Jewish people in the 1930s.
It is vital that we continue to organise, to unite, to make sure they are not allowed to spread their racist and Islamophobic hatred and violence in our community. We have to continue to oppose fascists when they march.
Messages of support were read out, including an anti-fascist message from Sir Alan Beith.

Sad right-wing bastards on parade in Newcastle…
You may have read the account of our writer friend being targeted by supporters of the National Front. Here’s his account of the demonstration itself. Thanks for your contribution, comrade!
I arrived at the demonstration area about half an hour before the advertised start time and there was already about 20 people standing on Grey’s Monument with a large banner declaring ‘Nationalists against Groomers’ and smaller Union flags. The crowd had doubled in size after just 15 minutes and by midday there was around 100 people.
This wasn’t the drunken wannabes of the EDL (although there was a small group of EDL from Sunderland who were, somewhat predictably, already drunk) this group was predominantly middle-aged veterans of the far-right. The fascist insignia was proudly on display; Blood and Honour shirts, C-18 badges and swastika tattoos.

Charles McAuley (1910-99)
Midday on the Moss
Oil on board
43cm x 65.9cm
National Museums NI
Charles McAuley was a celebrated 20th Century landscape and figure painter, most associated with his beloved Glens of Antrim. He was born in Glenaan, near Cushendall, county Antrim on the 15th March 1910, the youngest of eight children. McAuley painted from a young age and was for the most part a self-taught artist, although he studied briefly at both Belfast Art College and Glasgow College of Art. As a teenager, he had been encouraged to paint by the famous landscape artist James Humbert Craig, who, like McAuley, was happiest when painting in the Glens of Antrim. Craig had come across McAuley’s work when he was judging an art competition at the Feis na nGleann. McAuley sent some of his works to the Royal Hibernian Academy and they were accepted. He later became a member of both the Royal Hibernian Academy and the Royal Ulster Academy.
Speaking in the 1980s, McAuley acknowledged that he could have been a more successful artist had he been prepared to travel in order to promote his work but noted that it would not have made him happier as he was perfectly content in his home in the Glens. Promotion of his work was something that he left to others, and on his death in 1999, he was lamented not only for his artistic talent but for his modest and gentle nature.
Despite basing himself firmly in county Antrim for most of his career, McAuley’s work is now in several private collections internationally. Many of his portraits are to be found in private collections as they mostly depicted friends and family or were painted on commission. The landscapes for which he is best known can be seen in public collections across Northern Ireland, including the Ballycastle Museum, Queen’s University Belfast and the Ulster Museum. This work, Midday on the Moss, is part of the Ulster Museum’s collection. It is a good example of the artist’s work, which often, as here, presents people against the backdrop of the landscape they live in. A couple are depicted enjoying a well-earned break after a morning of working the land, having thrown themselves down to rest on a soft bed of moss. The figures appear exhausted but happy and this is typical of McAuley’s knowing and affectionate depictions of the people he lived alongside going about their daily lives in the Glens. | [

Renowned Guitarist, Rondalla Group Perform on August 4
A traditional guitar concert dubbed “One/String” on August 4 at the Claire Isabel McGill Luce Auditorium adds to the line-up of cultural highlights for the 50th anniversary celebration of the Cultural Affairs Committee.
The concert features renowned Filipino music artist Maestro Michael Dadap, who has made a name for himself and the Philippines in New York, and Kwerdas, considered one of the country’s most creative and entertaining rondalla ensembles.
Maestro Dadap was the Artistic/Music Director and principal conductor of the Children’s Orchestra Society in New York. In 1990, he founded the Young Symphonic Ensemble. He has won several awards, including one from the Asian-American Alliance for the Arts and the “2000 Artist for the Year Award” from the Flushing Council on the Arts in Queens, New York. His remarkable achievements as a musician were recognized by the Philippine government, receiving in 2006 the “Pamana Ng Lahi” Presidential Award.
Kwerdas participated in the Asian-Caribbean Festival in Miami, Florida, and became mainstay performers during the International Rondalla and Pluck String Festival organized by the National Commission for Culture and the Arts.
“One/String” will be staged twice on August 4: matinee at 3PM and gala at 8PM.

Maiden voyage of first new built carrier with towing kite propulsion successfully completed
The world’s first modern multipurpose heavy lift project carrier newbuilding, which uses wind energy as additional propulsion, has successfully completed her maiden voyage on Thursday, 13th of March 2008, when finishing a double transatlantic passage after an about 12,000 sea miles long journey. With 8,000 tonnes of general cargo loaded on board, MV “Beluga SkySails” safely reached her port of destination in Mo-I-Rana (Norway), having crossed several areas of adverse weather with winds of up to twelve Beaufort beforehand. In the first phase the vessel had shipped modules for a chipboard plant to Venezuela.
During the premiere of commercial operation that started in Bremen on 22nd of January and via Guanta (Venezuela) and Davant (USA) finally led close to the arctic circle, the 160 square meters large towing kite has been released as often as possible to fly for periods of between a few minutes and up to eight consecutive hours. “We can once again actually sail with cargo ships, thus opening a new chapter in the history of commercial shipping”, said Lutz Heldt, master of MV “Beluga SkySails”, drawing up the balance sheet of the nearly two month long maiden voyage. “Due to the innovative SkySails-system we use on our multipurpose heavy lift project carrier newbuilding we can cut down the voyage costs and simultaneously reduce the climate-damaging emissions”, Niels Stolberg, CEO of Beluga Shipping GmbH, specified the positive double effect.
A drop in bunker costs of approximately 2,000 US-Dollars per operating day becomes realistic, when the towing kite will be scaled up to 320 square meters in size subsequent to the pilot phase. The testing phase which in total is going to last for twelve months hitherto and ongoing as “training camp on the high seas” had and has in focus calibration work and technical adjustments to stabilize the towing kite propulsion. Thereafter the flight times will be extended and the performance perfected. Yet, on the maiden voyage already, the original expectations were validated and established by the kite now used, which as an auxiliary source of propulsion could pull the multipurpose heavy lift project carrier with five tons of power at force five winds already. Projected onto an entire day, this performance represents savings of about 2.5 tons of fuel a day.
The testing of the SkySails-system on board the ship newbuilding MV “Beluga SkySails” is being co-funded as part of the European Union’s “LIFE”-programme. The next voyage with loaded modules for wind energy plants will take MV “Beluga SkySails” from Spain to the United States of America. | [

There’s Olympic Games and then Olympic games — an important part of Olympic marketing is the video game that goes along with it. This Winter Olympics it’ll be Steep: Road to the Olympics Expansion, and it looks pretty fun:
It’ll be available on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Windows PC, and there are multiplayer options, if you’re looking to play with people from around the world.
Hopefully it’ll be just as fun as Torino 2006, the last Winter Olympics game I bought, which has some pretty insulting sports commentary like, “Well, you rarely see a start as bad as that at this level,” and other phrases that have entered my home lexicon:

Pre-pregnancy obesity is associated with a 2-fold increased risk of Neural Tube Defects (NTD), an effect not explained by lower dietary folate intake, or non-use of folic acid supplements (as recommended globally to women before and in early pregnancy for NTD prevention). While the exact mechanism linking NTD and obesity is poorly understood, it is possible that a compromised status or metabolism of folate and/or of the closely related micronutrients (vitamin B12, B6 and riboflavin) may be involved. To date however, this hypothesis has not been adequately explored. This study therefore aimed to investigate the relationship of obesity with folate and related B vitamin biomarkers in a representative cohort of non-pregnant UK women of reproductive age. Data were accessed from the most recent UK National Diet and Nutrition Survey (NDNS; Years 7–8; 2015–16), a rolling cross-sectional survey designed to gather information from a representative sample of the UK population on nutrient intakes, food consumption and nutritional status. Data for women aged 16–45 years (non B vitamin supplement users; n 364), were extracted on: anthropometry (height, weight, body mass index [BMI] and waist circumference [WC]), dietary intakes of B vitamins and biomarkers for serum and red blood cell folate, vitamin B12 (total serum B12 and holotranscobalamin), vitamin B6 (plasma pyridoxal-5-phosphate [PLP]) and riboflavin (erythrocyte glutathione reductase activation coefficient EGRAac]). Prevalence of overweight and obesity (i.e. BMI: 25–30kg/m2 and > 30kg/m2) was 28% and 22% respectively, whilst abdominal obesity (i.e. WC > 88cm) was present in 31% of the women. Total serum B12 (r -0.215, P 0.012) and PLP (r -0.270, P 0.002) were negatively correlated with WC, with similar, albeit weaker, correlations found for BMI. Correspondingly, women with abdominal obesity compared to those without, had a lower status of total serum B12 (Median values of: 212 v 249 v pmol/L; P 0.049), B6 (31.5 v 40.5 nmol/L; P 0.002) and EGRac (1.43 v 1.36; P 0.031). No differences in B vitamin dietary intake were observed by categories of abdominal obesity. Abdominal obesity may be a risk factor for low status of both vitamins B12 and B6, independently of dietary intake. Further investigation to elucidate the potential underlying mechanism is warranted. These findings also highlight the importance of taking abdominal obesity into account, in addition to BMI, when examining possible adverse impacts of obesity on micronutrient status. | [

Snow Clearing in Lethbridge County
LETHBRIDGE COUNTY- Lethbridge County would like to remind residents how roads are prioritized for clearing after a snowfall.
When less than 10-12 centimetres of snow falls, hamlets and hard-top roads are cleared with the County’s plow trucks. The County’s graders will assist with snow removal in hamlets, with backhoes clearing alleys when deemed necessary.
With a snowfall of more than 10-12 centimetres and at times where excessive drifting from high winds occurs, gravel roads are cleared based on priority. School bus routes will be cleared first, followed by haul routes, and then the remainder of gravel roads.
Lethbridge County would also like to recognize the efforts of our public works staff who work hard to ensure our roads are safe and cleared in a timely manner. | [

North Korea's fifth nuclear test, which was more powerful than the Hiroshima bomb, is a clear violation of United Nations resolutions, the international body says.
North Korea claims to have carried out its fifth nuclear bomb test, after magnitude 5.3 seismic activity was detected close to its test site.
The UN nuclear watchdog said the nuclear test by North Korea was a "clear violation of numerous United Nations Security Council resolutions" and disregarded repeated demands from the international community.
The report on North Korean state television said the test was to measure the strength of its nuclear warhead.
"Our nuclear scientists staged a nuclear explosion test on a newly developed nuclear warhead at the country's northern nuclear test site," the report said.
"Our... party sent a congratulatory message to our nuclear scientists."
A government statement released to Korean Central News Agency also confirmed it.
It was North Korea's fifth nuclear test and the blast was more powerful than the bomb dropped on Hiroshima.
North Korea said it had mastered the ability to mount a warhead on a ballistic missile.
"The standardisation of the nuclear warhead will enable the DPRK [North Korea] to produce at will and as many as it wants a variety of smaller, lighter and diversified nuclear warheads of higher strike power."
The US Geological Survey said the tremor had been detected in the north-east of North Korea, close to a known nuclear test site.
Russia's Rossiya 1 TV said residents in its eastern maritime territory felt the minor quake.
South Korea's Yonhap news agency had earlier said it had been an "artificial quake", with an unnamed government source saying it was highly likely to have been a nuclear test.
Recent satellite imagery and intelligence has indicated increased activity at the Punggye-ri site, where North Korea carried out its fourth nuclear test in January.
The country is banned by UN sanctions from any tests of nuclear or missile technology.
But in recent months it has conducted a series of missile launches and has threatened to carry out nuclear attacks on its enemies.
Friday is North Korea's National Day, which celebrates the start of the country's leadership regime.
After the announcement, the US White House said President Barack Obama was in talks with South Korea and Japan.
The White House said the president "reiterated the unbreakable US commitment to the security of our allies in Asia and around the world".
"The President indicated he would continue to consult our allies and partners in the days ahead to ensure provocative actions from North Korea are met with serious consequences."
China's foreign ministry also issued a statement, saying it firmly opposed North Korean nuclear tests.
It warned Pyongyang against any activity that would worsen the situation on the Korean peninsula.
International Atomic Energy Agency director general Yukiya Amano said it was a deeply troubling and regrettable act.
North Korea often uses such events as an opportunity for a show of military strength.
North Korea analyst Jeffrey Lewis, at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies in the US, told Reuters the size of Friday's tremor indicated a device with a 20 to 30 kilotonne yield.
If confirmed, that would be the North's largest device to date.
But in recent months it has conducted a series of ballistic missile launches and has threatened to carry out nuclear attacks on its enemies.
Its last nuclear test, in January, was purported to be of a hydrogen bomb, but that claim has not been confirmed. | [

Preserving and expanding a high-quality pedestrian environment has been a long-term goal of the City of Douglas for many years. As a town with a highly walkable historic Downtown area and greenway trail, walkability is a high priority for the community. The creation of a Sidewalk Master Plan was listed as a desired project in the Comprehensive Plan for the City of Douglas.
During the 2019-2020 fiscal year, the opportunity arose for the Southern Georgia Regional Commission (SGRC) to prepare this Sidewalk Master Plan for the City of Douglas at no cost to the community. This plan was paid for using Federal Highway Administration funds provided through the Georgia Department of Transportation’s annual contract with the Southern Georgia Regional Commission for pedestrian and bicycle planning activities.
The primary focus of the plan is to identify where sidewalks are non-existent or needed, prioritize the needs, and to seek funding opportunities. Earlier this year, a Sidewalk Survey was posted on Facebook and on the City of Douglas website for citizens to voice their concerns for sidewalks in areas around Douglas. The interactive online map allowed people to vote on proposed sidewalk projects and to submit additional projects, which allowed 19 new project points, to be submitted to the map. All of the map locations submitted have proposed sidewalks in the plan, except for one location that is on a minor street (Cherokee Ave.) where a sidewalk is not considered optimal due to the estimated traffic volumes and cost.
The City of Douglas thanks everyone who participated with the online interaction from the website and Facebook that helped formulate the plan which focuses on expanding the pedestrian networks and closing gaps of sidewalks throughout Douglas. For the full Sidewalk Master Plan report, please visit the City’s website at https://www.cityofdouglas.com/26/Community-Development. | [

The other week we asked our Facebook followers if they had any gardening questions and for my blog today I’m tackling some of those queries.
Q1: We have a school garden that includes 14 raised garden beds filled with fruits, veggies and herbs... We would like to post a list of garden chores/activities for classes to go by when visiting the garden. What are some ideas of what to include on this list?
- Chores: Watering, weeding, and harvesting are always tasks that students can help with in the garden. But you might want to add some extra directions when it comes to harvesting; it’s always a bummer when a class is planning a big tasting or cooking activity only to find out that the produce they were going to use has been harvested by someone else unknowingly. Having something that folks can easily write notes on, like a chalkboard or whiteboard attached to a garden fence or shed, can be a great way to effectively communicate these tasks.
- Activities: Scavenger hunts are a great option for a class to explore a garden, not to mention they’re easy to coordinate. Create a whole series of themed lists (ex: garden insects, things you can eat, various colors, etc.) and laminate them to help prevent any wear and tear. Alternatively collect a bunch of egg cartons for students to use as collection containers. I like to label each container and challenge students to find multiple examples of the thing they’re looking for (ex: something soft, something hard, something smooth, something colorful, something alive, something dead, etc.)
Q2: Where can we make or find signs to post in the garden that teach about the different garden areas so that each area can provide a self-guided garden lesson for anyone that visits the garden?
- Rather than buying signs, I’d try getting a class to create informative signs themselves. (See the multilingual example in the header image.)
- But if you’re dead set on having custom signs made I’d try finding and working with a local business or checking out MyPlantLabel; I personally have never purchased signs from them, but they seem to have a variety of options that seem aligned with what you’re looking for.
- I’d also caution against permanent signage and encourage you to pursue signs that can easily be moved, especially if they highlight information about annual crops you’ve planted in beds. I once worked with a school that had a handful of beautiful signs permanently installed next to each of their garden beds. Each sign has a lot of really great information about what was growing in the bed that season. Unfortunately growing the same variety in the same bed year after year isn’t very good for soil health, so the school was faced with the decision to either replant in the same location to the detriment of that bed’s soil health, or rotate their crops though the garden space, but have signs that incorrectly identified the contents of every single garden bed.
Q3: What are different ways to incorporate technology in the garden for different grade levels? Engineering?
- Related to the previous question/answer, I’ve seen some schools install very small signs that simply have QR codes that, when scanned, link to a website with content generated by students. This could be a way to both incorporate technology into the garden and communicate information about the different garden areas for the purpose of a self-guided tour or lesson.
- Weather stations can also be a great way to integrate technology into a garden space. You can work with students to research weather instruments and create a custom built weather station (an engineering project perhaps), or simply buy an all-in-one wireless weather station that can stream data to a display system in your classroom (Ex: an AcuRite system)
- Trellises are a simpler (and less expensive) engineering project, not to mention an often essential garden feature, that you can challenge students to design and create from a mix of store bought and found materials (ex: twine and large sturdy sticks).
If I didn’t respond to your question this week, be on the lookout for answers in future blog posts! I welcome your additional questions in the comment section below.

Here’s what your “epidemic” actually looks like:
And how about those mass shootings, especially the ones in the home, which are usually some of the most tragic as they involve the murder of family members by another family member, who usually commits suicide.
Do you have any idea which state had the most mass shootings in 2019? California, according to the Gun Violence Archive. Illinois was the runner-up.
Here’s a little something you forgot to mention about suicide.
Here’s an entire article I wrote about the subject: “Hijacking tragedy to push gun control.”
And heres one for the new gun owners: “Welcome, new gun owners” is specifically address to the folks who bought their first guns with the outbreak of the coronavirus. I know that all the gun sales weren’t exactly the response you might have been expecting, but anyone who was paying attention to the real world could have easily foreseen it | [

badlands on stock tires?
im planning on going to the badlands the 28th this month and have never been there before. Im Running a four in lift on stock tires (cant afford them yet) am i going to run into any major problems there?
I ran there several times stock on no name AT's and kept up with my buddies TJ on 33's. They just had to pull me off of stuff a couple times because of clearance issues. You just have to use a little more throttle to get through sometimes. Just stay off of the Orange trail and you will be allright.
Not that I am trying to be pushy - but - I do have 5 rubicon wheels with MTR tires that would be good enough to wheel on in the for sale section..... Those would fit pretty nice on there as is.....

The Wang tiling is a classical problem in combinatorics. A major theoretical question is to find a (small) set of tiles which tiles the plane only aperiodically. In this case, resulting tilings are rather restrictive. On the other hand, Wang tiles are used as a tool to generate textures and patterns in computer graphics. In these applications, a set of tiles is normally chosen so that it tiles the plane or its sub-regions easily in many different ways. With computer graphics applications in mind, we introduce a class of such tileset, which we call sequentially permissive tilesets, and consider tiling problems with constrained boundary. We apply our methodology to a special set of Wang tiles, called Brick Wang tiles, introduced by Derouet-Jourdan et al. in 2016 to model wall patterns. We generalise their result by providing a linear algorithm to decide and solve the tiling problem for arbitrary planar regions with holes.
