The "Other" Delaware Highpoint Marker
|[ Sizes: Orig | Large | Med | Small | Thumb ]|
There are actually three USGS Benchmark disks for the highest point(s) in Delaware, also known as Ebright Azimuth.
The most famous and seen USGS Benchmark disk is adjacent to a sidewalk.
Another USGS Benchmark disk is in a private trailer park residence, rarely seen.
And, finally, the USGS Benchmark disk seen in this photo is located up an adjacent road only a few blocks' distance from the "official" (sidewalk) disk.

With the slogan “It’s never too late for early music”, the Stockholm Early Music Festival which focuses on baroque, renaissance and medieval music, celebrated its 15th anniversary with a sold-out festival. The festival has been enriching our capital for fifteen years with the very best representatives of historical music without ever repeating ensembles.
This year’s Stockholm Early Music Festival kept the early music-lovers on the edge of their seats with thrilling concerts, performances, seminars, wellness training, dance, an instrument exhibition, art film and even events for kids.
On the opening night the audience was greeted by an opening ceremony and a concert by Concentus Musicus Wien, who by the way were just an inch from missing their concert due to a cancelled flight. They only managed to arrive in Stockholm an hour before their concert. Polar Music Prize winner Nikolaus Harnoncourt, the pioneer of modern early music interpretation, founded the orchestra in 1953. Since then they have been playing baroque music from the 17th century on period instruments on numerous European stages and now also for the first time in Stockholm.
Some of the seminars included an insight into the work and life of Nikolaus Harnoncourt by three of the members of Concentus Musicus Wien; Gamelan and Indonesian puppet theatre by Urban Wahlstedt; a walk through the church music development from the pre-Reformation, Catholic period to the Lutheran era with a special focus on the organ as a liturgical instrument by German organist Silvius Von Kessel, who also performed at the festival’s closing concert.
Perhaps one the festival’s best ideas was the event called Ba-Rock-Stå-Upp, a stand-up comedy for children as a way to approach the little ones with early music. The kids and their parents could experience a fast-paced and catchy blend of baroque music, dance and comedy. This event was courtesy of the Mare Balticum ensemble.
The Early Music Festival is aware of the importance of keeping in shape, so for the first time this year they presented the Early Music Wellness Training. Professional dancer Daniela Pontvik Valero led a very interesting training session of dance and leisurely-moves to the sounds of the baroque, renaissance and Middle Ages and it was of course open to all ages.
Some of the other artists taking the stage during the festival were: Dalmatica, 4 female singers and 6 traditional cantors from Croatia explored the richness of Dalmatian liturgical musical traditions since the Middle Ages. Long live the hurdy-gurdy – The virtuoso Middle Ages, by Johannes Geworkin Hellman playing the hurdy-gurdy (also known as the “Medieval Synthesizer”) and Clara Guldberg Ravn on the blockflöjt from Sweden and Denmark respectively. Morgaine took us on an imaginary journey through the life stages of the Elizabethan man, a densely atmospheric soundscape with projections of images of Albrecht Dürer’s “Lily” and poetry by William Shakespeare created by the ensemble from The Netherlands, Italy and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Other performing artists were Le Grande Chapelle, Solazzo Ensemble, Marco Beasley & Ensemble, Qiyans Krets, Euskal Barrokensemble, and Thuringia Bach Festival Ensemble who had the honour to close the festival with a concert called Luther goes Bach!
In an interview with Peter Pontvik, the Artistic Director of Stockholm Early Music festival, he said “The festival tries to reach the human being, tries to see the people behind the musician, the artists feel that and that gives a good experience for the public and the artists.” This was exactly what I could experience during every single event I got the opportunity to attend. It felt like the artists were not these untouchable creatures on a stage, but these talented human beings that were delighting the senses and providing unique experiences to the public with sounds from their instruments. The best example I can find of this was the late night concert (which started at 23:00) TillbakaLUTAd with Jonas Nordberg playing the theorbo/lute to an audience laying down comfortably on mattresses listening to relaxed early music from the 17th century by candle light. Since I don’t have the words to explain how great this experience was, I made I short video for you as I lay on my mattress that night, click below.
All in all the festival had a very large audience and has proven to increase with every edition the awareness of the magnificence and influence of the historical music. This is one of the festival’s biggest achievements in the words of Peter Pontvik.
Early Music Festival will be back in 2017 between the 1st and the 6th of June. | [

How many of you have ever considered uploading old Holiday Family Recipes to FS Memories???
Check out this very nice link:
I'd think about it, but as the years go by, I've been finding more and more recipes my family used in Joy of Cooking. I'm starting to think we didn't have any actual "family" recipes.
Some of the older family recipes are very unhealthy! I made a cookie bar recipe this year I haven't made in decades, and I suspect it is literally 1000 calories per square inch with who knows how much cholesterol. I took a batch when visiting my son and daughter in law. My daughter went with me. I warned everyone they were very rich and fattening and it was an old recipe grandma used to make. They all made faces I was expecting, but after the first taste those bars were the first to be gone (everyone made Christmas cookies). Everyone loved them the best. I'm not sure that was a win or did I take 30 seconds off everyone's life span? LOL
My mom said they always had mincemeat pie at Christmas time, which she loved. It was such a treat for them. She told me that her mom made micemeat pie from beef. My recipe just called for a jar of mincemeat from the store. Then I looked up the recipe to learn how my grandmother had to make it.
@Caringandsharing Mincemeat pie dates from medieval times in England. If you enjoy food history, the Brits have a number of documentaries about the evolution of the favorite foods of Christmas. Yes, it was originally a meat and fruit pie, but the word "meat" was not what we think. They used lots of suet, which is pure fat. Most recipes from the medieval times are pretty gross to us now, but in those days starvation was always lurking around the corner for most people.
Eating traditional foods from their immigrant homeland must have been very comforting for them. Many never got to see their family again. | [

CENTRE COUNTY, Pa. (WTAJ) — Two years after a bid was awarded permitting a category four casino in Centre County, the College Township Council said the approval of a gaming license at the Nittany Mall is now out of their hands and up to the Gaming Control Board.
“The time has already passed for College Township to legally opt out or rescind already approved zoning or plans,” Councilmember Paul Takac said.
Those leading the opposition are asking the council to write a letter to the Gaming Control Board recommending they deny the casino’s license.
Council said they will consider that letter, as well as an impact study, with their solicitor.
“Our duty is to see that an optimal balance between economic growth and progress while also protecting the best interest of our residents, existing businesses, and the environment to ensure the highest possible quality of life,” Takac said.
In addition to listening to public comment at their Thursday night meeting, council discussed a FAQ document and timeline to be shared to their website highlighting their ongoing research and process. | [

So a few weeks ago I sold my Nissan GT-R, there was uproar from my friends and questions about what stupid venture lay next. I love the R35 it was a rocket in a straight line and even better in the corners. But I daily drive my cars and as much as I loved the character of the gearbox and horrific ride comfort, or lack thereof something had to change. I was in touch with an acquaintance about a more powerful R35 than mine with half the miles, so that was the plan. However after discussing it with many owners I was warned about how the vehicle had been driven and that there was a risk of rod and gearbox issues even with capped torque. After a late night search on Autotrader I came across the RS7 well priced and highly specced. I had to go and look really as it seemed the smarter choice.
Anyone who knows me or has seen my car history knows I love a fast Audi. The C7 platform has always been a huge goal for me to attain. 6 or 7 they’re all the same to me the RS6 is arguably more aggressive but the RS7 is beautiful with sleek lines. I’d been scouring AutoTrader for a few weeks to no avail. But at 1am on Thursday I spotted this RS7, finished in Matte Daytona Grey with extended carbon fibre. I had to have it. Mileage was a little “high” but if daily driven it’s pretty much under the national average for a vehicle of its age. The RS7 is complete with full Audi service history, sports exhaust, WiFi, sunroof, head up display and a smattering of other options you’d never usually think of. I’ve always got this philosophy of finding a reason not to buy a car, if I can’t find any then I better get my money out. Seeing mixed reviews about the dealership network as a whole, I wasn’t sure what to expect, the paintwork is very clean, alloys unmarked and the engine pulls hard.
The car was situated in Ipswich which seemed like an awkward place for me to get to, so I paid a deposit and they moved it to Loughborough. The RS7 is being supplied with a fresh service and 12 months MOT, so I can enjoy a full years motoring while getting to know it. It feels slow compared the R35 but it should, it’s near 100bhp down and 200kgs heavier. The torque is satisfying and mighty. The honeycomb buckets are a revelation from my GTR it’s so comfortable and despite 21” wheels the ride is exquisite. Firm when you throw it round a roundabout yet supple and refined when you’re over speed bumps and potholes. I’ve seen a few road tests stating the steering is numb, certainly in dynamic I found it quite sharp for what is effectively a yacht with wheels. Dynamic mode also opens the exhaust valves for satisfying crackles on the overrun and between gears.
The C7 RS6/7 models are powered by a 4lite bi-turbo charged V8, putting out 553bhp and 700nm. 390mm front waved brake discs take care of the stopping, but in all honestly apart from the mad interior and rs7 badges you’d have no idea what you’re inside. The comfort and refinement are next level (this may be magnified coming from a GTR). The hardest part of my latest purchase will be getting used to the proportions, The R35 was a big car the Rs7 is a different league of ginormous. My current plans are to get to grips with the car, upgrade the air filter and look into remapping. A Milltek exhaust is also on my list at some stage depending on where I can find one. I think the RS7 will be a better adversary for the R35 when it has 700bhp and over 1000nm. | [

I am proud to represent South Florida and a district that is home to 265 miles of some of the most pristine coastline in the United States of America. From Bal Harbor down to the Keys, millions of people come to our shores each year to enjoy the sun, surf and sand. Recently, work began to restore some highly eroded portions of Miami Beach from 63rd to 69th Street. The severely eroded beaches in Miami Beach are vital natural defenses from wind and flood damage caused by tropical storms and hurricanes. Beach erosion stems from a natural drift of sand from north to south. Significant property damage and losses could occur if the beaches are not re-nourished and infrastructure becomes susceptible to hurricane damage.
Congresswoman Ros-Lehtinen inspects the progress of the Miami Beach sand dredging and renourishment project.
This segment, one of three in the area, will lay approximately 300,000 cubic yards of sand about and should be completed by April 2012. The remaining sections are expected to be completed by November 2012.
I was glad to be there to witness firsthand the great project get under way. As you know, our beaches are critically important to the economy of South Florida, with over 90,000 residents and millions of annual visitors each year. In fact Miami Beach, a seven-square mile international tourist destination,generates over $7 billion in annual economic activity and contains over $25 billion worth of private property. These beaches are an invaluable protection from the hurricanes that periodically ravage our coast. This effort will not only provide future storm protection but will also provide for better beach access for the local community and tourists.
Ileana with team and project leaders of the Miami Beach sand dredging and renourishment project.
I continue to work closely with the Army Corps of Engineers to make sure these vital re-nourishment projects are accomplished in a timely manner. After these three sections are completed, the next construction contract will occur in the Bal Harbour area in the vicinity of 96th Street and is expected to start in early 2013. Our South Florida beaches are critical to reducing storm damage and protecting economic livelihoods and our environment.

Swiss technology gives Quantum Computing a boost22.03.2021
A report about a programmable, cloud accessible and scalable photonic circuit able to operate different types of quantum algorithms published in Nature last week, represents a milestone for photonic quantum computing. The photonic quantum chip was manufactured by Swiss based LIGENTEC SA.
Quantum computers promise to solve problems that are impossible to compute by today’s supercomputers. The race for the best quantum computing technology is underway, many technologies are complex and require cryogenic cooling to temperatures down to -150 degree Celsius or lower. Photonics approaches have so far been considered impractical because of difficulties in generating the required quantum states, or the transformations of such states, on demand.
Canadian based hardware company Xanadu now reported in the Nature magazine a programmable, cloud accessible and scalable photonic circuit able to operate different types of quantum algorithms. Future applications are for example in the development of new drugs.
A photonic circuit is similar to an electrical IC, but uses photons instead of electrons. These photons are guided by optical waveguides, tiny structures carefully etched on the chip. The special feature of this photonic chip is its extremely low propagation loss and special material properties, finally enabling the desired quantum states. The photonic quantum chip was manufactured by Swiss based LIGENTEC SA with its unique and scalable Silicon Nitride Photonics technology.
“We are extremely excited to see this groundbreaking milestone in photonic quantum computing to be achieved by our customer” states Michael Geiselmann, co-founder of LIGENTEC. “We are also proud to have contributed to this achievement. This is the result of years of hard work and will be only the beginning of a great future for photonic integrated circuits”.
LIGENTEC SA, a spin-off from the EPFL Lausanne, offers application specific Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) to customers in disruptive high-tech areas such as Quantum Computing and Communication, LiDAR, New Space, Biosensors and more.

Astronomical Scrapbook, The
This collection of 83 articles on the history of astronomy is the harvest of a quarter of a century spent in seeking out intriguing, unusual and half-forgotten events. Joe Ashbrook wrote a column regularly for the monthly magazine Sky and Telescope. Professor Owen Gingerich, of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, has helped in the selection of the very best of these timeless vignettes, and he has contributed a foreword to the collection. Each article has been edited, and in some cases modified, to take account of any subsequent discoveries. Articles are grouped into themes covering biography, telescopes, the solar systems, stars and galaxies, and star atlases. Much of the material cannot be found in standard references in the history of astronomy.

I took these during our short shooting session Sat. The Saiga shot well, was comfortable, and there was very little recoil, but I only shot it using bird shot. It was very comfortable, but I think that the weak link is the magazine. Unless of course the US ten round mags fair better. Feeding the plastic five round magazine into the mag well took a lot of time. This also might be as much from unfamiliarity as much as anything. I wouldn't buy the plastic magazines though, while I liked the Saiga I didn't like the plastic magazine. I felt like the Saiga came up very quick and pointed very naturally like what you would want from a shotgun. Ergonomically it was very comfortable with the pistol grip and the recoil pad on the folding stock is a must have. Shooting the Saiga with the stock folded was not uncomfortable as I thought it would be. Just don't "limp wrist it." Of course with "00" I am sure it would be a lot more intimidating. Shooting one handed wasn't bad either, with bird shot of course. This is really surprising as the Saiga is a very light-weight shotgun. It is the AK Shotgun, and a must have for "Mr. AK." Cool shotgun. | [

What's the youngest age someone could enjoy playing this?
How does this game work for children of this age in your family?
To verify your input please enter your email to create an account.
Our examiner, Rob Prior, first checked Pictionary Air 16 months ago. It was re-examined by Jo Robertson and updated 7 months ago.
The first player is given the Interactive Pen and stands near the screen so they cannot see it. They then work through each of their cards, drawing in the air with the pen to create a visual clue. Because they are also on camera, they can interact with their picture on the screen to add some additional hints. The rest of the team watches the screen, guessing and signalling correct answers on the app.
What starts as a new take on a classic game, becomes an active challenge in spacial awareness, visual communication and working together to take on new challenges. You need to be resilient, creative and work quickly to communicate most effectively. The app takes care of the rest.
This game is good if you want to:
- Play in untimed selfie mode to give players chance to use the pen.

Your baby takes the first breath usually within ten seconds of birth. These first few breaths, initiated by the newborn, are the most difficult. Most full-term infants will gasp spontaneously within seconds of birth. 90-95% of newborns will complete this transformation without any help.
Do babies breathe immediately after birth?
At birth, the baby’s lungs are filled with fluid. They are not inflated. The baby takes the first breath within about 10 seconds after delivery. This breath sounds like a gasp, as the newborn’s central nervous system reacts to the sudden change in temperature and environment.
How long can a baby go without breathing after birth?
How long can a baby go without oxygen before brain damage occurs? The impact of oxygen deprivation will vary from baby to baby. However, it is estimated that after approximately 10 minutes of no oxygen brain damage will start to occur and that death will occur if the baby is completely starved of oxygen for 25 minutes.
How does a baby start breathing after birth?
The first breath typically is taken within 10 seconds of birth, after mucus is aspirated from the infant’s mouth and nose. The first breaths inflate the lungs to nearly full capacity and dramatically decrease lung pressure and resistance to blood flow, causing a major circulatory reconfiguration.
How long does it take for a newborns breathing to regulate?
Within a few months, most of the irregularities of newborn breathing resolve themselves. Some newborn breathing issues are more common in the first few days, such as transient tachypnea. But after 6 months, most breathing issues are probably due to allergies or a short-term illness like the common cold.
Do babies Practise breathing in the womb?
That said, babies do actually practice breathing, known as fetal breathing movements, well before they leave their comfy uterine confines. Muscle contractions bring amniotic fluid in and out of the lungs, which is thought to help strengthen the muscles involved in preparation for life outside of the womb.
How long do babies stay on oxygen?
When your baby’s health care provider decides that your baby is breathing better, the amount of oxygen that she gets is slowly lowered, then stopped. Most babies need oxygen at home for less than 6 months.
What happens if baby doesn’t breathe after birth?
Infants should cry or breathe well after delivery. Failure to breathe well will result in hypoxia if the infant is not rapidly resuscitated. Therefore failure to breathe well is an important cause of neonatal death if not managed correctly.
Is it normal for newborns to stop breathing for a few seconds?
Your baby may have breathing that pauses for up to 10 seconds at a time. This is called periodic breathing. There may be several such pauses close together, followed by a series of rapid, shallow breaths. This irregular breathing pattern is common in premature babies in the first few weeks of life.
How can birth asphyxia be prevented?
Allow companionship during labor and birth. Ensure supportive 2nd stage management based on fetal and maternal condition. Avoid incorrect practices.
How do I know if my baby has no oxygen?
Other common signs of hypoxia (or lack of oxygen) in the baby include:
- A lack of fetal movement. (infant lethargy or fatigue)
- Bluish or pale skin tone.
- Poor / weak muscle tone.
- Poor reflexes.
- Weak / no cry.
Do babies breathe before the umbilical cord is cut?
Babies are often already breathing independently for themselves before the umbilical cord is cut. The umbilical cord delivers oxygen to the baby until blood flow to the placenta stops after birth.
What happens if you don’t cut umbilical cord?
Delaying the clamping of the cord allows more blood to transfer from the placenta to the infant, sometimes increasing the infant’s blood volume by up to a third. The iron in the blood increases infants’ iron storage, and iron is essential for healthy brain development.
Why is my 3 month old gasping for air?
Laryngomalacia is a common cause of noisy breathing in infants. It happens when a baby’s larynx (or voice box) is soft and floppy. When the baby takes a breath, the part of the larynx above the vocal cords falls in and temporarily blocks the baby’s airway.
Why is my baby gasping for air in sleep?
Signs and Symptoms
Symptoms of sleep apnea vary from child to child. Loud snoring, which may be followed by pauses in breathing or gasping for air, is the most common symptom.
What is molding as it relates to birth?
Newborn head molding is an abnormal head shape that results from pressure on the baby’s head during childbirth. | [

The third album from Jean-Phillip Grobler’s St. Lucia is Hyperion and it really capitalizes on the success that Grobler and co. found with their last record, Matter. Working with producer Rob Kirwan, St. Lucia took what they did so well on their last record and infused it with the producer’s experience in incorporating traditional instrumentation. The result is an album that plays like it was released in 1988 instead of 2018.
As far as the traditional instrumentation goes, maybe that’s overstated. Don’t get me wrong, the horn work accents some of Grobler’s melodies perfectly and this record has some of the warmest-sounding piano that I’ve heard in a long time, but at this album’s core it’s still very much St. Lucia; the band’s just better at making music than they were six years ago. “Paradise is Waiting” and “Bigger” implement the piano so well that they contrast songs like “A Brighter Love” and “Walking Away” in big ways. What’s interesting is that the whole album – whether they’re doing some of that instrumentation or whether they’re synth-heavy, sounds like an 80’s record. It’s this weird hybrid of Genesis, St. Lucia, and Billy Joel that’s wrapped up into something unique and fun.
St. Lucia’s third album Hyperion is different in countless ways from their last album Matter, except the only one that matters. This album is as good as that album was and there’s plenty of songs here to come back to and listen to over and over. Grobler and his mates did some outstanding work here and the variety of the music compiled with the surprise of the sound will win plenty of people over. | [

Hollywood Green Carpet
Hollywood will always be an international draw for tourists, but Hollywood Apartments looks to redefine the neighborhood as a hub for creative culture and economic diversity among both local and international clientele.
As the building steps back, each floor shifts to feature views of the Hollywood Hills while flooding the terraces with natural light. The 33-unit, 30,000ft² project boasts an elevated public park which steps up to the front of the building and defines the front facade. The building almost disappears as guests, residents, and visitors begin to activate the building edge and blur the lines between urban fabric and building envelope. | [

Kibbutz Contemporary Dance Company in Rami Be’er’s Aide Memoire. Photo by Gadi Dagon.
Suzanne Dellal’s Big Stage festival will close on Saturday, June 6th with the Kibbutz Contemporary Dance Company’s performance of Rami Be’er’s Aide Memoire (Hebrew title: Zichron Dvarim). I was struck by the dance’s power when I first saw it last year – but rather than telling you my perspective in this post, I’m going to bring you a different viewpoint: that of the choreographer himself.
Below is a guest post by Rami Be’er, choreographer and artistic director of the Kibbutz Contemporary Dance Company.

The Holocaust in Modern Dance (guest post by Rami Be’er)
As a son of Holocaust survivors, I tried to deal with the horrors of the Holocaust, but it took me years until I felt mature enough to do so. My parents filled the house with art and music, raised us in an Israeli Kibbutz, started a new life and never mentioned the past. Same as with me, it took decades until they started to speak.
When I felt ready to deal with the horrors of the Holocaust, I created the piece Aide Memoire.
In Aide Memoire, I tried to illustrate the feeling of being “trapped.” The dancers move ecstatically, trapped in their personal turmoil, spinning while swinging their arms and legs, and banging on the wall; some are crucified, unable to move freely on the stage.
Aide Memoire is not only about the Holocaust. It deals with matters relating to present life and reality. It deals with violence, wars, and their impact on our lives. I created this dance in order to scream: Stop the violence! Stop the holocausts!
The subject of the Holocaust has been dealt with in every form of art, including modern dance. Some dances illustrate the same feeling of being trapped and having no where to go. In 1961 Anna Sokolow, a Jewish-American choreographer, created her piece Dreams. It was an attempt to deal with her night terrors. Eventually it became a memoire to the horrors of the Holocaust. In this dance, the dancers stand still, each one clasping a balled fist with the other hand, trying to pull them apart but with no success.
This same feeling of being trapped and enslaved is illustrated also in one of Pilobolus’s dances, Selection. In Selection, one of the dancers approaches a dancing couple, separating them by his cane and snatching the woman away from her partner’s arms.
In KCDC (Kibbutz Contemporary Dance Company), I teach my dancers that the world of modern dance is not detached from reality. Not only do we deal with violence and its effect through dance, we also initiate activities to unite Jews and Arabs in Israel, and do as best as we can in order to open the doors of our dance school to students from all races and nationalities, including foreign students who wish to study abroad.
This is my way to fight against violence.
Artistic Director, Kibbutz Contemporary Dance Company

Rami Be’er’s Aide Memoire will also be performed in Herzliya on June 10th and in Jerusalem on June 16th; in addition, the work will tour to Poland’s Bytum International Dance Festival in July. The Kibbutz Contemporary Dance Company will also take Be’er’s Upon Reaching the Sun to Hungary, Austria, and Croatia this summer. See Dance In Israel’s Events page and the Kibbutz Contemporary Dance Company’s website for more details.

Thorne Launches District Fundraiser for Wreaths Across America
Thorne Middle School is asking the community to join students, faculty and staff on Wednesday, Dec. 11 at 8:30 a.m. for a special Wreaths Across America ceremony, an event that continues the school’s mission of honoring our fallen U.S. military servicemen and women, as well as our military veterans.
Since its founding in 2007, keeping with its mission to Remember, Honor, and Teach, WAA has organized a “Veterans Honor Parade” each December. This convoy of motorcyclists and truck drivers is led by the Patriot Guard Riders, and travels from Maine to Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia, escorting thousands of ornamental wreaths to be laid at the headstones of those lost in our nation’s conflicts dating back to the Civil War.
Approximately 70,000 wreaths will be in tow when the convoy makes a stop at Thorne Middle School, one of only four stops in the state of New Jersey, to honor our community’s military veterans, and those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in service.
THE CEREMONY: That morning, local residents are invited to line Murphy Rd. and greet the convoy, which will be guided by New Jersey State Troopers. At 8:30 a.m. there will be a wreath laying ceremony at the Battle of the Bulge Memorial in front of the school. Thorne Middle School is named after Medal of Honor recipient Corporal Horace “Bud” Thorne, who was killed at the Battle of the Bulge. The ceremony will continue inside the building, where the school community will pay tribute to veterans, including veterans of the Battle of the Bulge. Wreaths will be presented to Gold Star Families.
DISTRICT FUNDRAISER: Wreaths Across America is a national nonprofit organization that relies on donations, and Thorne Middle School would like to make a donation on behalf of the entire District. If every staff member and student brought in $1, our donation could pay for wreaths to be put on the graves of hundreds of fallen heroes. Jars will be available in the main office of each school for staff, students, and community members to make donations. Larger donations can be sent to Thorne Middle School’s main office. Checks can be made out to “Wreaths Across America.”
PLEASE REGISTER: Local veterans and Gold Star Families who wish to attend the Dec. 11 event are asked to register by calling the school’s main office at 732-787-1220. All Gold Star Families who register will receive an ornamental wreath.
WHAT: Wreaths Across America Ceremony
WHO: Thorne Middle School Community
WHEN: Wednesday, Dec. 11, 2019 from 8:30 to 11:00 a.m.
WHERE: 70 Murphy Rd, Port Monmouth, NJ, 07758

Change is a part of life, but it can make us feel so uncomfortable until things are “resolved”. Here are some tips to overcome typical struggles in facing life transitions.
Accept the Change
We often spend a lot of mental energy fighting the change or not even acknowledging that life is changing. We try to find a way to stay in the comfortable well known situation that we’ve been in, even when that is not an option anymore. Acknowledgement that fighting the change does not prevent it from happening or really do anything but keep you in limbo for much longer can help get you to a place of acceptance and even embracing the change that is in front of you.
Focus on the Positive Outcomes, Not just the Negative Ones
Sure, things may go horribly wrong. That is one possibility. But things might just go well, too. We often forget that as we get swept away in anxiety about the future. Pretty soon, all we can see are negative outcomes and forget that good things might come from this change as well. Make a list of all the good things that can come from this change. Get creative! It’s ok to even acknowledge very unlikely positive outcomes, because you are probably acknowledging negative outcomes that are equally unlikely.
Focus on What You Can Control and Not What You Can’t
Often times, we find ourselves trying to control the outcome, or what someone else will do or how someone else will react. The problem is, we don’t have any control over those things. We can only control what we do and how we react. Often times, when we refocus on taking an action or responding to a situation in a different way, we feel more in control and that can alleviate a lot of negative feelings.
Feel the Feelings
Transitions usually come with a whole slew of emotions. Anxiety about the outcome and the future. Sadness about the loss of the way things were. Anger that things are not turning out the way we had hoped. Often we fight these emotions, or interpret them as an indication that something is wrong. Things get a lot easier when we allow ourselves to feel the feelings and recognize them as part of the changing process rather than an indicator that things are wrong.
Notice all the Small Steps Towards Progress
Big life transitions can be overwhelming. If we think about relocating or changing jobs or relationships, it can feel like way too much to take on and then we become stuck. If we can break things down to more manageable action steps, and then take one step at a time, it all feels a lot more doable. We can also acknowledge completion of each of those steps as steps towards progress, rather than feeling that because we haven’t reached our overall goal, we haven’t accomplished anything.
Don’t Skip Self Care
So often when things are changing, we resort back to just trying to keep up and our self care falls behind. In times of transition, self care is even more important. When things feel out of control or unmanageable, taking on a basic self care task can be grounding and can help you regain a sense of control because it can be a constant in a time when things around you are changing and you are adjusting to a new normal. So eating well, or getting some exercise, or even reaching out to supports in your life can provide a much needed familiarity.
Accepting change as a natural part of life can go a long way in feeling more in control and less internally conflicted. Accepting the feelings that go along with change can also help relieve that feeling of discomfort that comes with fighting our emotions. | [

An in situ and a batch heating experiment were applied on the fine-grained sediments of the Opalinus Clay from Mont Terri (Switzerland) and the Boom Clay of Mol (Belgium), both being currently studied as potential host formations for deep nuclear waste disposal. The purpose was here a test of the impact of a 100 °C temperature rise that is expected to be produced by nuclear waste in deep repositories. The experiment on the Opalinus Clay mimicked real conditions with 8-months operating heating devices stored in core drillings into the rock. The comparison of the major, trace, rare-earth elemental contents and of the whole-rock K-Ar data before and after heating shows only a few variations beyond analytical uncertainty. However, the necessary drillings for collecting control samples after the experiment added an unexpected uncertainty to the analyses due to the natural heterogeneity of the rock formation, even if very limited. To overcome this aspect, Boom Clay ground material was subjected to a batch experiment in sealed containers during several years. The drawback being here the fact that controls were limited with, however, similar reproducible results that also suggest limited elemental transfers from rock size into that of the <2 μm material, unless the whole rocks lost more elements than the fine fractions. The analyses generated by the two experiments point to identical conclusions: a visible degassing and dewatering of the minerals that did not induce a visible alteration/degradation of the host-rock safety characteristics after the short-term temperature increase. | [

Garbage and waste odor control systems work by neutralizing the odors produced by large piles of garbage and recyclable items. If you have an indoor facility, nozzle rings will be added to ductwork or fans in your plant to cover your entire indoor space. FogCo’s proprietary odor control blend will then be added to the system’s water supply to produce a fine fog that will fall over everything in your facility. This fog will knock out odors without getting people, equipment, or garbage wet.
If you have an outdoor facility, on the other hand, FogCo’s garbage and waste odor control systems will work by covering the perimeter of it. High-pressure fog lines will be strategically placed around the outside of the facility, and the same proprietary odor control blend will be used to produce a fine fog that will blanket the air inside and around your facility. It’ll prevent odors from escaping and affecting the surrounding area. At the same time, it’ll stop smells from having an impact on those inside your facility. FogCo also has Fog Cannons that can be used on especially large outdoor areas.
FogCo has been helping those in the waste management industry with garbage and waste odor control systems for more than 25 years. We also have extensive experience setting up garbage dump dust suppression and recycling plant dust suppression systems. These systems can improve your facility’s air quality and help you avoid costly fines. | [

Hi, i've been stuck on this problem for a day now, and I'm finally giving up. I'm given a lognormal variable X(with mu, and sigma^2) and Assume a transformation of Y = aX^b. I need to find the distribtuion of Y and the expected value. Whenever i go for an attempt i end up getting to p(ln(x)< 1/b *ln(y/a) i start to try to integrate and I get lost. anyone willing to walk me through this? The algeba/calculus involved is horrid. | [

Here, we describe a method for characterizing the L-type Ca(2+) current, ICaL, which is a major trigger for Ca(2+) release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). The protocol includes measuring ICaL amplitude and voltage dependence and the elicited SR Ca(2+) release. The procedure for measuring ICaL activity is performed using solutions (internal and external) and voltage control such that other ionic currents are eliminated. The resultant relationship between the Ca(2+) current and the associated internal [Ca(2+)]i transient is a first approach for evaluating coupling gain. We discuss which parameters are most appropriate for this analysis and how an evaluation of gain needs to be further explored by measuring the SR Ca(2+) content.

These are new high efficiency monocrystalline nitride passivated satellite grade solar cells that were purchased at auction from Tecstar Inc., a Southern California based manufacturer of solar cells for use in space based technology such as satellites and the international space station.
These high quality cells are made from high efficiency monocrystalline silicon that have been treated with silicon nitride to boost efficiency. They are round in shape and are approximately 3.0 inches in diameter. They have a short circuit rating of approximately 1.54 amps with and open collector voltage of.58 volts @ 1000 w/m2, 25°C.
What makes these cells unique are their extreme high efficiency. We tested one of these cells with a DC motor driving a propeller and was able to power the motor from the light of a two cell flashlight, which makes them perfect for low light applications!
We contacted a respected solar cell supplier and was told that these cells would normally sell to the space industry for $100.00 a piece! They can wired in series to increase voltage, and in parallel to increase current. Unlike some dealers that are selling seconds and low tech import cells, these are U.S. made and are of extremely high quality.

This paper describes the rationale, design and implementation of a system for increasing the status and involvement of women in developing communities. AIR (Advancement through Interactive Radio) adds interactivity to community radio, giving community radio listeners, especially women, a voice with which to respond to programming, and to participate in the creation of programming content. We first describe the cost of excluding women from Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) for development, and explore how community radio represents a potential antidote to this exclusion. We draw upon ethnographic data collected through feasibility studies and site visits in Southeast Kenya to support the introduction of a mechanism that enables women to ldquotalk backrdquo to the community radio station, in order to better facilitate participation. Using the principles of Participatory Action Research (PAR), we argue that women will be more likely to benefit from technology-mediated opportunities for development if they themselves produce information that contributes to their advancement, rather than simply consuming information created for their use. Finally, we describe the design and implementation of simple communications device that supports this model. This hand-held device enables women to record voice feedback and news for community radio at the touch of a button. This feedback is then routed asynchronously back to the radio station through a probabilistic, delay-tolerant network, where the feedback can inform subsequent broadcasts and facilitate additional discussion. We conclude with a technical summary of the AIR prototype, which will be deployed in Kenya in Fall 2007. | [

(VIDEO & PHOTO LINKS AT END OF ARTICLE) No one can argue that the Wednesday night dedication of Jerusalem’s new Meitarim (String) Bridge was indeed an event. The one-hour choreographed performance with its NIS 2 million price tag did indeed make an impression.
The lasers were in sync and the white balloons reached for the sky as the Jerusalem Pirchei Choir provided background music, along with Dudu Fisher and others.
The first speaker was Mayor Uri Lupoliansky, who boldly drew analogies surrounding the Eiffel Tower 120 years ago, the Brooklyn Bridge 140 years ago, and Jerusalem’s Meitarim Bridge today, expressing confidence that in the coming years, it too will be accepted by all as a significant landmark in the modern-day capital. The mayor explained the strings are no coincidence, but a symbol of King David’s harp, connecting the old and new in line with Jewish tradition.
The mayor quoted from the prophets and did his best to tie in the old and the new, stating Yerushalayim of yesteryear is indeed enhanced by the new Jerusalem bridge of today.
The next speaker was Deputy Prime Minister and Transportation Minister Shaul Mofaz, who spoke of the connection between the past and present, the today and the future, stating that the bridge will be open in two years, when the light rail system is launched, which will be the most sophisticated mass transit system in the country. He explained that phase one of the light rail will span from Pisgat Ze’ev to Mount Herzl, and in the future, it will eventually travel to Hadassah.
Mr. Mofaz also spoke of the plan to construct the underground rail system, which in the coming years will make it possible to travel from Yerushalayim to Tel Aviv in 30 minutes.
The final of the three dignitaries was Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, who as mayor of Jerusalem undertook the bridge project. He was heckled and booed, and his words were by and large ignored. Upon completion of his short remarks, he was heckled some more.
The night from an entertainment perspective was an impressive event. As far as the bridge, it is a hard sale – over priced, over budget, over deadline, and worst of all, it has structural flaws.
In the big picture, many view it as inappropriate for the Jerusalem skyline, and a project that seems to drag on endlessly, together with the light rail system with its delays, perhaps a project well suited to the likes of former Mayor Ehud Olmert.
The ceremony also marked the official end of Yerushalayim’s 40th anniversary of liberation events.

(Washington, D.C.) – Today, the American Legion released a report detailing the massive delays facing veterans who seek healthcare at Veterans Administration (VA) facilities. The report called for changes in the way Congress funds veterans healthcare each year.
U.S. Senator Patty Murray (D-Wash), a member of the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee, hopes the report will spur needed investments in VA healthcare.
"This new report details what veterans have been telling me for years. They are still not getting the care they need," said Murray. "It's unacceptable that those who fought for our freedom are now trapped in a system that forces them to wait months before they can even get an appointment to see a doctor. Our veterans deserve better."
The report noted that many veterans are waiting six months or more to see a doctor. It also detailed staff shortages and challenges in making critical capital improvements. The report was written by Ronald Conley, national commander of the 2.8 million-member American Legion.
Conley urged Congress to make VA spending "mandatory," a procedural move that would help ensure the VA receives sufficient funding each year. Currently, VA funding must compete with other important priorities in the annual appropriations process. By contrast, Medicare and Social Security, two program that are designated as mandatory, are funded automatically and do not compete with other priorities. Murray supports this change sought by the American Legion and other veterans groups.
"By making VA spending mandatory, we can ensure that the funding will be there year after year to meet this critical need," said Murray, a cosponsor of S. 50, the Veterans Health Care Funding Guarantee Act of 2003.
Murray has long been committed to veterans' issues. Her father was a disabled World War II veteran. During college, Murray volunteered at the Seattle Veterans Hospital. She is the first woman to ever serve on the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee, where on July 10th she discussed her bill to improve benefits for American ex-prisoners of war (S. 517)
On June 30th, Murray discussed her healthcare priorities with a group of veterans in Walla Walla, Washington. Murray noted that in the Supplemental Appropriations bill, she helped secure $417 million for emergency spending for the VA's Medical Care Account. She also helped increase the funding authorization for the VA's homeland security and medical research efforts. In addition, Murray supports legislation to allow military service members, retirees and their dependents to enroll in the Federal Employee Health Benefits Plan. | [

Platinum Group Metals' DFS for the Waterberg project is advancing according to plan. The target date for the completion of the DFS is the end of calendar Q1, 2019.
An updated resource model to be used in the DFS is in the final stages of calculations and peer review.
Three-dimensional models have been provided to independent project engineer for mine design, Stantec Consulting International.
The mine design involves bulk underground fully mechanised methods. Optimisation of the methods utilised for Platinum Group Metals October 2016, Waterberg Pre-feasibility Study is in progress.
Metallurgical test work and infrastructure designs are also progressing well, led by independent project engineer for plant design and metallurgy DRA Projects SA, who are an experienced platinum and palladium plant, engineering and construction firm.
The DFS is looking at two potential scales for the project as previously announced, including a 600,000 tonne per month option and a 250,000 -350,000 tonne per month option.
A Mining Right Application for Platinum Group Metals' Waterberg Project, endorsed by all of the Waterberg Joint Venture partners, including Impala Platinum, Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation and Mnombo Wethu Consultants, was filed in early September 2018.
The detailed consultation process in the area of the mine has commenced as required under Environmental Assessment and Mining Right regulations and specialist consultants have been engaged to manage and document this process.
Co-operation with the Capricorn Municipality surrounding the mine has been active and positive including work on regional water supply plans and infrastructure under a recently signed co-operation agreement.
Work on the planned national electrical grid connection for the project is also progressing well. Consultation on powerline servitudes and permits are advancing on plan as part of the DFS.
Platinum Group Metals is the Waterberg project operator and currently holds an effective 50.02% interest in the project.
Platinum Group Metals notes that the Waterberg project is dominated by palladium and there are very few deposits of this type in the world.
Palladium has been gaining market interest based on continued demand in the auto sector, due to a growing trend towards gasoline engines and hybrids that use palladium dominant catalysts.
Platinum Group Metals is focused on completing the DFS for Waterberg on time and on budget with the assistance of its project partners. | [

“History”, says author Delin Colón, great-great niece of Aron Simanovitch, Rasputin’s Jewish secretary. “is written by the powerful not the oppressed”.
Therefore, when we think of Grigory Efimovitch Rasputin, we recall his historical reputation as a rogue, a criminal, and an evil man who was often thought to be responsible for the ultimate downfall of the Russian Romanov Empire. Colón disputes this theory in her concise and factual historical account, Rasputin and The Jews: A Reversal of History.
Colón’s theory is demonstrated by numerous facts and statements made by the people that were closest to Rasputin. His friend and secretary, Simonovitch, writes memoirs that describe Rasputin as a man of God, a healer and a helper for all Russian citizens, despite their religion or class distinction. The oppression of Jews in Russia began from the very beginning of Judaism itself. Persecution, restrictions and expulsion was part of Russian history. Only a handful of Russian Jews were allowed education or entry into the trades. They were limited as to where they could reside and what occupation they might follow. And although history paints Rasputin a champion of persecution, according to Colón, he was a great humanitarian and a man of the people.
Through the eyes of Rasputin’s daughter, Marya, we get a first-hand depiction of what life was like with her father and his noble intentions. A natural healer with a gift of hands on curatives, even his adversaries admitted to believing in his somewhat mystical powers. Rasputin felt his healing powers did not come from himself, but directly from God.
Although barely literate and uneducated, Rasputin had an innate intelligence and a deeply intuitive understanding of Russia, its aspirations and, especially of its people. Often unkempt and burly, his presence did not equate to his abilities. But from the statements and historical documents presented by Colón, even without an in-depth knowledge of Russian history, we can begin to understand how and why such a man might be painted a dark character when in fact he was the light and life of his people.
Rasputin and the Jews is a beautifully written gem to be read and savored by readers interested in Jewish and/or Russian history.

Scientists Discover World's Smallest Cooking Pots
Scientists have discovered the world's smallest "molecular cooking pot" - the round shell of a virus that has literally been emptied of the disease to provide a convenient container to transport drugs within the body. By hijacking the protein case that encapsulates the virus, they hope to fill it to order and trundle it off to the correct cellular address. And at just one thousand millionths of a metre, it gives new meaning to the term "small packet".
"The natural role for that shell is to transport [the virus]," says Mark Young of Montana State University, who along with Temple University chemist Trevor Douglas discovered how to exploit the nano-pots. "It evolved to survive in many different chemical environments. We're just hijacking nature."
The team have dubbed the shells "cooking pots" because, like any good saucepan, they have lids that open and close. Young envisions chemicals going into the pot, the lid closing, the pot zooming off to a new location, and the lid re-opening to dish out the contents.
"What you have is a container,' says Scripps Research Institute virologist Jack Johnson. "It allows you to do chemistry on an exceptionally small scale."
The most immediate application is targeted drug delivery for breast cancer treatment, where the pots are used to take medicine to the correct spot in the body. | [

ATLANTA (AP) – Georgia reported more than 2,200 additional COVID-19 cases Sunday, a new high of daily reported cases as confirmed infections continue to rise.
Georgia health officials reported the new numbers in their daily afternoon update on Sunday. It brings Georgia’s total confirmed cases to more than 77,000.
The number of infections is believed to be far higher because many people have not been tested, and studies suggest people can be infected with the virus without feeling sick. | [

How to Delete Photobombers
It is sometimes annoying when you captured a very beautiful spot or landmark but someone just ruined the view. Good thing Photoshop has a capability of editing photos which can remove photobombers in the background.
Let me show you a great example of photo I took in Hundred Islands, Alaminos Pangasinan. Look closely and you will see a man below who just ruined the view.
I used a Content-Aware feature which is available in Photoshop CS5, I’m pretty sure this is also available in CS6, not sure if CS4 has this though.
It is like a Clone Stamp tool where it picks the closest background; but I find Content-Aware smarter to use as it doesn’t look edited or something has been removed.
- Open the photo that you want to edit and select the Lasso tool (you can choose Polygonal, Lasso, or Magnetic). In my case I chose Lasso, as the subject has lots of curves. When finished, you will see a moving line which is called the marquee.
- Right click the marquee then choose Fill.
- Under the Contents Use, choose Content-Aware. Opacity should be 100%. Then hit OK.
So did you try it? If the result is unlikely from what you want, just repeat the steps above or hit CTRL + ALT + Z (Undo action) until Photoshop gives you your desired result.
To see difference, here is animated result:
The photo was shot in Alona Beach, Bohol. I owned the beach by removing those people in the background.
In the finished product, I also edited my bulging belly. Hope you learned from this tutorial. You can also enter your email address below the Receive Travel and Photography Updates to get more Tutorial updates from my blog. | [

The search for a neutron electric dipole moment (EDM) is of significant interest in understanding the observed baryon asymmetry in the universe. Historically, two methods have been employed to measure an EDM, storage of ultracold neutrons (UCN) and cold neutron beams, with the latter being abandoned in the 1980s due to a limiting relativistic systematic effect. The Beam EDM experiment developed at the University of Bern represents a novel concept to overcome this limitation with a cold neutron beam using the time-of-flight method. The ultimate goal of this project aims to reach a sensitivity competitive with future UCN experiments. This poster will present an overview of the Beam EDM project and latest results. | [

Financial woes persist at the Bahamas Agricultural and Industrial Corporation (BAIC), according to Executive Chairman Michael Foulkes, who detailed in Parliament, among other things, that the corporation’s bills left by the former administration are in excess of $3 million, including $1 million owed to the National Insurance Board (NIB).
“BAIC is in absolutely dire financial straits and lacked the fiscal irresponsibility in particular of its former chairman Dion Smith [who] lacked good governance. It is indeed unthinkable. A shameful act of fiscal irresponsibility,” Foulkes said.
According to Foulkes, some of the corporation’s bills include: $300,000 owed to the Bahamas Telecommunications Company (BTC), a little under $300,000 to the Bahamas Power and Light (BPL) and medical coverage that has been suspended for employees.
Foulkes told parliamentarians what is even more egregious, is that in the last five years, under the former administration, BAIC failed to pay NIB contributions.
“That amount is under $700,000. What did they do with the money, we hope to find out. Meanwhile we are left to secure these funds for the government,” he said.
Foulkes also highlighted a solar energy system that was acquired by BAIC for its new Solider Road headquarters at the Industrial Park. The building was said to be a model for other government ministries
“We needed to determine what was being produced in terms of energy,” he disclosed.
“When the executive team tested solar system, we shut off generator and waited to see if anything came on. Nothing happened. No power, Mr. Speaker.
“That revelation prompted a further investigation and we discovered, to our dismay, that the much-touted solar system does not have any batteries to store the energy and not even a tie in to BEC’s electrical supply, it was a film-flam.”
The executive chairman added that the former chairman also leased government land without the proper documentation and companies have also rented space in the Industrial Park, with one tenant owning over $1 million.
Business owners in arrears he said, with no effort to pay, will be given a 30-day eviction notice.
“The board of directors are determined to bring abuses to an end and political affiliations will not matter,” he said. | [

The Beauty of the Kent Campus is Characterized by its Open Spaces and Topography
One of the more striking features of the Kent Campus is its setting. Stands of mature trees are located throughout campus, with the front campus being the largest and most prominent. Open areas allow for informal recreation, celebration, and protest. Significant wetlands are east of Loop Road.
Open lawn are locations where students can gather and play, but some are more successful than others. Art installations are mostly along the Esplanade and in the May 4th area.
The rolling hills of the front and central campus areas create interesting views and site character. The steep slopes, however, also limit redevelopment and make travel difficult for those who are less mobile.

Yes, I blush to admit it, my First Love was a housemaid
And leave off his evil ways, and set up in the chandlery line arterwards,' said the housemaid
The Court and the jury," said his lordship, "wish distinctly to understand the object of your cross-examination of the housemaid
and the nurse.
Giles sat with his legs stretched out before the kitchen fender, leaning his left arm on the table, while, with his right, he illustrated a circumstantial and minute account of the robbery, to which his bearers (but especially the cook and housemaid
, who were of the party) listened with breathless interest.
Having a kind of pity for our second housemaid
(why, you shall presently know), and seeing in Nancy's face, that she would fetch her fellow-servant in with more hard words than might be needful under the circumstances, it struck me that I had nothing particular to do, and that I might as well fetch Rosanna myself; giving her a hint to be punctual in future, which I knew she would take kindly from ME.
The other young ladies are as busy as bees, miss," the housemaid
The cook looked at the housemaid
, the housemaid
looked knowingly at the footman--the awful kitchen inquisition which sits in judgement in every house and knows everything--sat on Rebecca at that moment.
But he did bring her in the afternoon, I think, and the housemaid
opened the door to them, and showed them into the parlour.
But the housemaid
, too, served her term as model when Edna perceived that the young woman's back and shoulders were molded on classic lines, and that her hair, loosened from its confining cap, became an inspiration.
Confined again to my room, I contrived to write to Mary, and to slip my note into the willing hand of the housemaid
who attended on me.
They were now on the second floor, and the appearance of a housemaid
prevented any farther conversation.
When she opened her eyes in the morning it was because a young housemaid
had come into her room to light the fire and was kneeling on the hearth-rug raking out the cinders noisily. | [

The Xbox One X is here and is has usurped the PS4 Pro as the most powerful home console consumers can buy. But could Sony be prepping its own next-generation hardware in the form of the PS5?
Two leading analysts believe this is very much the case. Macquarie Capital Securities analyst Damian Thong predicts Sony will launch the PlayStation 5 in 2018. Thong claims (via Wall Street Journal) that Sony will release its next-gen PlayStation in the second half of the year.
Normally these sort of rumours are ignored, especially with such little noise coming from Sony. However, Thong correctly predicted the PS4 Slim and PS4 Pro. It’s worth taking his words into consideration.
Another analyst has offered an alternative but not entirely dissimilar opinion. Wedbush Securities’ Michael Pachter believes the PS5 will launch in 2019, and be backward compatible with PS4 Pro games. Pachter believes Sony is waiting for an increasing saturation of 4K TVs in consumer households before launching new hardware.
“Will it play games that were made for the PlayStation 4 Pro? That’s the question. I think it will. So I think they will build a console that will backward compatible with the PS4 Pro,” Pachter said in an interview with GamingBolt.
“My expectation that is that it’s not coming out in 2018. That is a 2019 0r 2020 but probably 2019. Sony is probably timing it better because they are going to bring out a 4K capable device when the 4K TV market reaches 50% in the USA and 35% in the rest of the world.”
Whether you believe Pachter or Thong (or neither), the rumblings make it seem as though the PS5 is certainly not too far away. As such, Trusted Reviews has put together a wishlist of what we’d love to see, as well as all the latest news as it comes.
PS5 release date – When is the PlayStation 5 coming out?
Sony hasn’t actually said a thing about a new console – yet. The PS4 continues not only to be the current best-selling console, but one of the best sellers in history, so it makes sense to not announce a successor yet.
The PS4 sold 20 million units last fiscal year. That’s an astronomical number, especially when added to the 40 million sold as of May 2016. However, in its earnings report, Sony did admit it expected hardware sales to slow.
Microsoft is coming back swinging with Xbox One X, so the PS4 is soon to become an inferior machine from a specs perspective. Logic would point to Sony having to respond in some fashion.
PS5 Specs – How powerful will the PlayStation 5 be?
Again, without any announcements, we can’t fully assess what the PlayStation 5 will look like from a hardware perspective. We can, however, take a look at the competition, and see how Sony will compete.
Let’s take a look at the Xbox One X. It has an an eight-core 2.3 GHz CPU, paired with 12GB GDDR5 memory and a GPU sporting 40 compute units operating at 1172MHz. In layman’s terms, this is a mid-range 2017 gaming PC, but with lots of clever software and hardware tricks to squeeze maximum performance out of it.
As is ever the case with console launches, manufacturers have to balance cost with performance. The PS4 has been so wildly successful because it’s been able to offer better performance on third-party titles over Xbox One.
Now the balance of power is swinging in Microsoft’s favour (albeit with a more expensive console), Sony will want to redress that and offer a console even more powerful than the One X. Or perhaps Sony will be able to counter with a less powerful but better-value console come that woolly 2018 launch date.
PS5 Price – How much will it cost?
As we don’t even know its specs, we can’t accurately guess how much the PlayStation 5 will cost.
We will soon, however, get some form of barometer when we find out the cost of the Xbox One X. We will hopefully find out exactly how much Microsoft’s hardware costs at E3 2017, but early estimates predict around £450-550, which is pretty reasonable for the performance on offer.
PS5 Backwards Compatibility – What can we expect?
At the launch of the PS4 Pro, system architect Mark Cerny clarified this was not the start of a new console generation. “I believe in generations. Generations are a good thing. So, philosophically, we believe in them. We believe they continue, and this is a mid-generation release,” he is quoted by Gamasutra.
Sony was at pains to make sure consumers saw the PS4 Pro, a modest improvement over the base console, as a mid-cycle | [

REFLECTING on the life of Zwelakhe Sisulu once again underscored the integral relationship between the liberation struggle and media freedom. It is appropriate that we remind ourselves that among those who gathered at Mangaung in 1912 were at least three founder editors, who consistently fought the good fight for a free press.
Receiving the sad news of the passing of Sisulu made me recall my encounters with the man. I knew him by the reputation he had earned as a courageous journalist and liberation activist. Besides his pedigree as one of the sons of a distinguished family in the liberation struggle, Sisulu had crafted his own identity over many years of persecution at the hands of the apartheid regime.
Our eyes immediately fell on Sisulu when filling the office of the first post-apartheid CEO of the SABC. Tension between those tasked with governing and the media, as purveyors of information and opinion, is inevitable, even in a democracy. Accepting this tension does not betray a temptation to censor. As a seasoned journalist, Sisulu brought to the job an integrity honed in the struggles he had waged in the local media and against a repressive regime. He left the SABC with his reputation untarnished.
One day, the story of the struggle on two fronts that black journalists were compelled to wage will be told. Newspaper proprietors insisted on a staple of crime, gossip, celebrity and sport, pandering to the worst vices of tabloid journalism to realise profits.
That is where most black journalists cut their teeth in the 1950s and 1960s. The 1976 Soweto uprising compelled editors to treat news about the urban black community more seriously. Sisulu was among the black journalists who drove that transformation through interventions in the profession.
The apartheid regime exacted a heavy price from those who opposed it in earnest. Beginning with the banning of the Guardian, a leftwing weekly edited by communists Brian Bunting and Ruth First in 1952, it also banned the Guardian’s successors, People’s World; Advance, New Age and Spark. Banning orders served on the papers’ editors in 1962 prevented them from working as journalists. The Torch, aligned to the Unity Movement, fell before their axe too, in 1963.
A multifaceted censorship regime, which Lawrence Gandar and Benjamin Pogrund were prosecuted for violating by publishing the prison experiences of Harold Strachan, was also in force. Strachan was sent back to jail for the "crime" of discussing his experiences with the journalists.
It was in that authoritarian environment that a young Sisulu learned how to navigate the repressive laws of the time. Some editors had the courage to employ black journalists. When trouble came, they stood by them. But the print media’s record was inconsistent. Anthony Holiday lost his job the day after he was detained by the security police. No Afrikaans editor ever criticised these overt repressive measures. Some even supported the state against the media.
The mere act of reporting accurately on the lives and experiences of black people constituted a political action during those decades of white minority rule. The indefatigable Henry Nxumalo, "Mr Drum" of the early 1950s, deliberately engineered a week’s imprisonment by violating some degrading curfew law and brought out a harrowing report on prison conditions. But rather than improve its prisons, the apartheid regime passed the Prisons Act, making it illegal to report on any South African prison — the law Gandar and Pogrund fell foul of. Yet imprisonment for breaking one or other of the hundreds of laws and ordinances that regulated the lives of black people was the experience of thousands in urban areas.
Sisulu and the generation of black journalists who helped to found the Media Workers Association of South Africa faced the more daunting challenge of telling these stories in an environment of intense repression by a regime facing the active hostility of the majority. Though never charged, tried and convicted of breaking a single one of their repressive laws, Sisulu served repeated bouts of detention without trial. Undeterred by these persecutions, he returned to the trenches to take up the fight after each. It was these qualities that recommended him to the Southern African Catholic Bishops’ Conference when they sought an editor for their newspaper, The New Nation.
Under Sisulu’s stewardship, the paper became the pioneer of the "alternative press", offering accurate information and servicing an ever-widening network of democratic activists. Working together with others, they mentored a number of aspiring black journalists, some of whom now hold senior positions in our print media. They had the good fortune of training in environments far more friendly and supportive than previous generations. But making the country’s media demographically more representative proved as great a challenge as freeing it from repressive laws.
Sisulu was a journalist in the tradition of the founders of the African National Congress | [

CITRIC ACID PRODUCTION FROM SUGARCANE BAGASSE THROUGH SOLID STATE FERMENTATION BY MUTANTS OF ASPERGILLLIS NIGERV. SELVI, K.S. KANNA, R. BANERIEE, G. SINGH AND L.C. RAM
A mutant of Aspergillus niger - COPS (soil isolate) was selected after ultra violet irradiation of the spores for the production of citric acid by Solid State Fermentation from sugar cane bagasse. This mutant was capable of giving comparatively higher yields of citric acid than the wild strain. Citric acid production with mutant strain of A. niger was optimized with different pH and moisture content of the substrate, fermentation time and with different carbon sources. Carbon sources like sucrose, glucose and fructose were studied for the yield of citric acid. The accumulation of citric acid reached the maximum on the 9th day of the incubation. Of the three levels of initial moisture contents viz 60,70 and 80% of bagasse tested, 60% resulted in the highest yield on the 9th day of incubation. The yield under this condition was found to be upto 16.5mg/m1 of bagasse. Best results in terms of citric acid concentration, production, yield were obtained with a substrate pH of 4.

Frederick Matthias Alexander was the founder of the Alexander technique; a technique which examines habitual postural and movement imbalances and asymmetries and teaches one how to move in a more co-ordinated, efficient and pain free way. See our earlier articles for more information.
F.M. was born in Wynyard, Tasmania in 1869 and spent much of his early life in Melbourne. He was a successful Shakespearean actor and orator yet developed vocal difficulties at the height of his career and acute hoarseness would affect him whenever he tried to project his voice. After visits to numerous doctors whom couldn’t help, Alexander set out to figure out what was wrong for himself. He presumed that if his normal speaking voice was unaffected but yet acting and projecting his voice brought about his problems, then it must be something he was doing to himself in reaction to that stimulus that was causing his problems and not a mechanical issue. So many of us with back pain for instance presume that we are just unlucky to have been cursed with a ‘weak core’ or a hard job and it is just something we have to put up with, yet often it is something we are doing to ourselves that is the root cause of our pain or dysfunction.
Through an intense period of self-study using mirrors as a guide, Alexander found that when reacting to the stimulus to speak he was pulling his head back and down, thus depressing his larynx, bringing tension into the rest of his body even down to his toes, with which he noticed he was gripping the floor. Alexander found he had great difficulty in stopping himself from reacting in his habitual way to many other stimuli as well. With patient research and practice, Alexander found that if he inhibited his habitual responses and instead gave himself certain directions which would bring him into better co-ordination and balance, he could gradually begin to respond to stimuli without affecting his use and functioning and so avoid the terrible hoarseness and overall muscular tightening which had previously been his habit.
What do Alexander’s findings mean for you?
Alexander discovered that without changing our overall habits of use, change and relief from symptoms of low back pain, neck and shoulder pain, RSI and limb pain, vocal and breathing complaints is impossible. Thankfully, Alexander’s long period of self-study means that we now know how, with the help of an Alexander technique teacher, we can learn to inhibit those habits and direct ourselves in more appropriate ways to bring about increased balance and co-ordination and live a more easeful and pain-free life. The Alexander technique can be thought of as an education rather than purely a treatment; it puts the ability to change in your hands, so that you have the tools to look after yourself for life. Lessons with Cal in the Alexander technique can be arranged by calling the clinic. | [

ww2dbaseIn Nov 1942, a requirement was issued for a heavy self-propelled gun armed with the same 152.4-millimeter gun-howitzer, as was in use by Red Army towed artillery batteries. Production, which commenced in Feb 1943 would utilise the chassis from the KV-1 heavy tank (as used for the similar SU-122 assault gun) with the larger gun mounted in a fully enclosed armoured fighting compartment in the hull front. The common chassis with the SU-122 would equally allow an interchange of guns to be made without great difficulty. Power came from a 600 horsepower twelve-cylinder diesel engine.
ww2dbaseFor the SU-152 the ML-20S howitzer (29 calibres long), a slightly modified version of the successful Model 1937 (ML-20) towed howitzer, was fitted with slightly modified controls and a large muzzle brake to reduce recoil. The gun had a range of about 7,000 metres in the indirect fire role, although this capability was rarely used in action - the vehicle's heavy armour and limited on-board ammunition supply made it more suited to close-support or as a close-range tank destroyer. The ammunition (weighing 96 pounds/43.5 kilograms per round for high explosive and 107.5 pounds/48.75 kilograms per round for armour piercing high explosive) was so bulky that only twenty rounds could be carried internally (usually 13 high explosive and 7 armor piercing high explosive), although some crews were known to take the risk of stowing extra ammunition on the engine decks. The armor piercing high explosive round could penetrate 125 millimeters of armour at 500 metres, but in practice, the blast effect of the high explosive shell was equally effective – a direct hit could wreck any German armoured fighting vehicle. Despite its size and weight the 152-millimeter gun was actually elevated and loaded by hand without any mechanical assistance, a drawback which severely reduced the rate of fire to only about two rounds per minute.
ww2dbaseThe only other weapons usually carried by early production vehicles were two PPSh submachine guns and 25 pre-war F1 fragmentation grenades known as the limonka (Lemon) for close-quarter defence. From mid-1943, new SU-152 self-propelled guns would receive pintle mounted DShK (Degtyarov-Shpagin Krupnokalibernyj) Model 1938 12.7-millimeter gas-operated, air-cooled heavy machine gun for anti-aircraft defence. The DShk machine guns were retrospectively fitted to earlier vehicles as they were returned to depots for maintenance servicing or repairs.
ww2dbaseEntering Red Army service in Feb 1943 the SU-152 made its combat debut during the Battle of Kursk where it soon earned the nickname of "animal killer" from its successes against the German Tiger, Elefant and Panther vehicles. Its exceptional anti-tank capability ensured that the SU-152 was in constant demand, which typically caused rapid mechanical deterioration and imposed a massive strain on the maintenance system. A total of 704 SU152s were completed, with later vehicles based on the KV-1S hull, before production of the KV-based model was stopped, in Dec 1943, in favour of the chassis of the new Iosif Stalin heavy tank. Designated ISU-152, the newer vehicle provided the M-20S gun with a mechanically more reliable platform, with better performance and other detail improvements including better fire control arrangements. They were probably built for one gun type only.
ww2dbaseWith a crew of four (five if the vehicle was fitted with radio) the 45-ton ISU-152 was mechanically the same as its heavy tank counterparts and had much the same performance. This was important, because these assault guns generally served attached to heavy tank regiments with the IS tanks providing the self-propelled guns with close support (N.B. Soviet heavy tank regiments had an establishment of 21 tanks). Early ISU-152s were based on IS-1 hull, but production eventually switched to vehicles using the IS-2 hull. They all had the DShK machine gun as standard and thicker armour than the earlier SU-152 - a maximum of 120 millimeters, compared to 76 millimeters. Despite its shared shortcomings of limited ammunition stowage the ISU-152 rapidly became as highly valued as its predecessor had been.
ww2dbaseProduction of the ISU-152 continued until 1947, by which time at least 4,600 had been built. The type would remain in front line service with the Warsaw Pact armies well into the 1960s, with survivors then retained in reserve depots until they were superseded in service | [

This article explores the hypothetical battle between Thor and Superman, two iconic superheroes from Marvel and DC comics. It discusses their backgrounds, powers, and histories. Thor is the God of Thunder with superhuman strength and control over lightning, while Superman is an alien with nearly limitless strength and heat vision. The clash between the two would be an epic battle, with arguments on both sides about who would emerge victorious. The outcome ultimately depends on the narrative chosen by comic book writers. Regardless, the debate allows fans to appreciate the incredible strengths of these mighty gods.
Thor and Superman are two of the most iconic and powerful superheroes in their respective comic book universes. The Marvel and DC fandoms have engaged in endless debates about which of these mighty gods would emerge victorious in a head-to-head battle. This article aims to explore their backgrounds, powers, histories, and ultimately discuss the hypothetical clash between them.
Thor, the God of Thunder, originates from Norse mythology and wields the enchanted hammer known as Mjolnir. Superman, on the other hand, is an alien from the planet Krypton with incredible strength, speed, and the power of flight. Both characters have their unique origins, which contribute to their extraordinary abilities.
Powers and Abilities
Thor possesses superhuman strength, agility, and durability in addition to control over lightning and storms. His hammer grants him the ability to fly and manipulate weather patterns. Superman, on the contrary, possesses nearly limitless strength, speed, invulnerability, heat vision, and freeze breath. He also has the ability to fly and is weakened only by Kryptonite.
History and Origins
Thor hails from Asgard, the realm of the gods, and is the son of Odin, the All-Father. He is a founding member of the superhero team known as the Avengers. Superman, also known as Kal-El or Clark Kent, was sent to Earth as a baby before the destruction of Krypton and was raised by the Kent family. He acts as a protector of Earth and is a core member of the Justice League.
The Epic Clash
The hypothetical battle between Thor and Superman triggers the imagination of fans worldwide. As both are incredibly powerful, the clash between them would be a sight to behold. Thor’s mastery over lightning and storms would prove a significant challenge for Superman. On the other hand, Superman’s immeasurable strength and heat vision would push Thor to the limits. The battle would be an unstoppable force versus an immovable object scenario.
Outcomes and Discussions
Debates regarding the outcome of a fight between Thor and Superman vary widely. Some argue that Thor’s godly abilities and the enchanted Mjolnir would give him the edge in the battle. Others believe that Superman’s near-invulnerability and vast array of powers would eventually overpower Thor. The actual outcome ultimately depends on the narrative chosen by the comic book writers.
The clash between Thor and Superman remains a topic of endless speculation and fascination for fans. While a definitive answer may never be obtained, the debate fuels the imagination and allows fans to appreciate the incredible strengths and abilities of these two mighty gods. Whether one believes Thor or Superman would emerge victorious, it is undeniable that their clash would be an epic battle for the ages. | [

Apple gives small businesses a direct link to its listings and a way around Google
January 11, 2023
Apple will soon start displaying more detailed and accurate business listings, all thanks to the company’s new Business Connect tool.
The feature, which Apple announced on Wednesday, lets businesses claim and edit their listings across Apple’s services, similar to Google’s method for allowing businesses to make changes to the way their information appears on the search engine and Google Maps or Twitter’s recent addition of a Location Spotlight for business profiles.
The tool gives businesses the ability to tweak store hours and fill out their listings by adding header images and other photos to their place cards, which appear on Maps, Messages, Wallet, Siri, and other apps. Through Business Connect, companies can encourage customers to… | [

London: The Ukrainian city of Lviv, which hosted matches in this year’s Euro soccer championship, is now eyeing a bid for the 2022 winter Olympics, Ukraine Olympic chiefSergei Bubka said on Thursday.
Bubka, a former Olympic champion and still the pole vault record holder, said Lviv was eager to develop winter sports in the region after Ukraine gained experience in staging major events as co-hosts of Euro 2012 with Poland.
“The president of Ukraine gave the task to study the possibility to present a bid for 2022 for that city,” Bubka told Reuters in an interview. “For us winter sports is a future task.”
The 2022 Games host will be selected in 2015 with the bidding campaign kicking off next year. Several cities in the United States have also expressed an interest in bidding.
Russia’s Sochi will host the 2014 winter Olympics while Pyeongchang in South Korea will stage the 2018 Games.
“This can bring development to the region. Ukraine was designated as a summer sports region under the Soviet Union. Now we want to develop the mountains there, the infrastructure, resorts,” said Bubka.
The Ukrainian, who dominated his sport like few others, is now both an International Olympic Committee Executive Board member as well as an International Association of Athletics Federations vice president.
Dressed in his country’s yellow-blue team uniform and still looking as fit as 20 years ago when he broke the world record at will, Bubka said fans at the London Olympics should not expect world record performances in the pole vault competition.
While the men’s event is wide open with defending champion Steve Hooker struggling to find his form, Russia’s Yelena Isinbayeva looks set for a third straight gold medal in the women’s competition.
The peerless Russian, with 28 world records to her name, is brimming with confidence after overcoming problems with form and motivation that led her to take an 11-month sabbatical in 2010.
“How high you go does not matter at the Olympics, it is all about winning and the most important is to be Olympic champion. There is double pressure at the Games for the athletes,” Bubka said.
“For Yelena, she is a great athlete, she has achieved everything and it basically all depends on her.”
Bubka said athletics, the flagship sport at the Games, needed to become more attractive to younger generations as well as broadcasters as the IAAF looks to restrict meets to under three hours.
He would also like to see medals ceremonies at the athletics world championships held outside the stadium to draw bigger crowds in the host cities and avoid holding up events inside.
“Each period has its own challenges and we have to consider that,” he said. “So at the world championships for example why interrupt the competition?
“The medals ceremony could take place in the centre of the city, bring the athletes there, make a big event and attract bigger crowds. So in the stadium we can focus on the competition.”
Bubka kept quiet over a potential run for the IAAF top post once president Lamine Diack steps down in 2015 or earlier.
Fellow IAAF Vice President Sebastian Coe, the London 2012 Games chief, announced days ago he would be making a run for the presidency.
“I am happy to be in sport. I consider myself a lucky man. I had a great career in sport. I am happy with what I am doing right now,” Bubka said. | [

Research Article - International Journal of Respiratory Medicine (2017) Volume 0, Issue 0
Screening score to identify people prone to respiratory tract infections in the community.
Background: Respiratory tract infections (RTIs) are a major cause of morbidity in society. A proportion of the general population suffers more often from recurrent and severe RTI compared to the vast majority. We aim to identify those in the population at risk for recurrent RTI with the help of a questionnaire-derived score. Method: A population-based study, termed the Airway Infection Susceptibility (AWIS) study, was conducted between December 2011 and March 2013 in South Baden, Germany. From a total of 69, 695 individuals approached via mail 12, 839 individuals in the age range of 18 to 70 years completed the screening questionnaire. A predefined RTI-score was calculated as a weighted sum of relevant questionnaire items. Regression models were used to assess the association of potential risk factors and co-morbidities with the score. The score was prospectively validated among 1459 individuals who reported their monthly RTI prevalence in three consecutive winterspring seasons using a summary measure. Results: Repeated severe or long lasting RTIs during adulthood were reported by 12% and 18% of the study participants. The RTI-score correlated positively with female sex, younger age, and frequent contact to children, smoking status, and obesity as well as a number of co-morbidities, most strongly asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The monthly prevalence of most RTI symptom categories in the subsequent infection seasons approximately doubled between the low to medium and quintupled between the low to high baseline score category. Bronchitis was reported by 2.3%, 11.6%, and 19.4% of individuals in the low, medium, and high baseline category, respectively. Furthermore, 33.7% of the high baseline score group compared to only 6.4% of the low score group reported significant infection related impairments of their daily activities. Conclusion: The RTI-score applied in this study helps to identify adults in the community prone to RTI who might benefit from preventive measures.Author(s): Alexandra Nieters*, Susanne Weber, Magdeldin Elgizouli, Livia Maccioni, Stefan Wolfrum,Jacques T.

The fellow that was auctioning musket did not know much about it, other then it was old.
He was selling off a collection of antique weapons for someone.
This spin made rifled muskets considerably more accurate over much longer distances than smoothbore muskets.
Unfortunately, neither the Union nor Confederate officer corps could easily put aside the Napoleonic tactics they learned at West Point, predicated on the relatively short range and inaccuracy of the old smoothbores.
Over the last bunch of weeks I’ve written about many of the domestic weapons in my Civil War Arsenal, but today I’m going to write about one of my imports muskets.
The 1853 Type III Enfield was the most common imported weapon of the Civil War.
Because the minie ball had a diameter smaller than the bore, it dropped slickly down clean barrels, and could be easily rammed down barrels fouled with black powder residue from many previous shots.
I purchased this musket a few years back on Gun Brokers Auction Web Site.
The Enfield was the first production gun to use rifling in its barrel and it fired the.577 caliber Pritchett minie ball (which was innovative for its time) and considered by many the prettiest rifle made with its brass accents.
There were many private contractors manufacturing Enfield’s but the better quality Enfield’s were made by the Birmingham Small Arms Factory and the London Armory Arsenals.
I have repeatedly hit a six-foot by two-foot target at 300 yards with my Euro Arms copy, and would love to find a range long enough for me to stretch it out even farther.
I can only imagine how terrifying it must have been to stand in front of a rank of hundreds of men shooting rifled muskets at me–even more so when I think that.577 caliber minie balls bring at least 500 grains of pure soft-lead hurt when they hit home. In contrast, the classic.45 ACP FMJ bullet weighs in at a measly 230 grains, or about half as much.When I first saw the gun I thought there was no way I’d win the auction, thinking that everyone interested would be jockeying for position. | [

Don't try to usurp power in times of crisis: Mamata beats the governor of Bengal
CALCUTTA: Prime Minister Mamata Banerjee He hit the governor on Saturday, accusing him of trying to usurp powers amid the coronavirus crisis, and asked him to desist from using the official and logos on social media.
Banerjee's strong rebuttal came after the firing of two letters to the prime minister last week amid the clash between Nabanna and the secretary of state, in the wake of West Bengal's response to the Covid-19 outbreak.
Such words and such communications of such content, tenor and tone from a Governor to an elected CM are unprecedented in the annals of Indian constitutional and political history. His words against me and my ministers and officers can be described as vituperative, intemperate, intimidating, and abusive, Banerjee said in his 14-page response to Dhankhar.
Accusing him of preaching and lecturing constitutional norms without practicing and violating it, he said that the governor may not agree with his policies, but unfortunately, he has no other power than to bring it to his attention, as long as the government orders trust from the legislature..
I beg you to desist from intensifying your efforts to usurp powers, especially in times of crisis... You should desist from using official communications/logos for your continued tweets on social media, the chief minister said. | [

Directed by Simon Amstell
A charmingly offbeat gay romantic comedy about a mess-of-a-filmmaker juggling the anxieties and excitement of his upcoming film premiere with the fear and awkwardness of a burgeoning romance. Written and directed by British comedian Simon Amstell who peppers this charming, laugh-out-loud funny tale with hilariously deadpan one-liners and a scene-stealing cast of supporting characters.

New project, developed by experts from ESA, can help in the colonization of our natural satellite
Currently, the Earth is home to 7 billion people, some of whom have set an ambitious goal — once to resettle humanity in the neighboring planets and satellites. So, one of the newest projects to colonize the moon, developed, represents the concept of a lunar base, which can be created with the help of 3D printing technology. If the project will one day be implemented, how many people can live on the moon? Let's try to speculate about it in this article.
Almost no science fiction is complete without the presence of an extraterrestrial colony on our natural satellite. The main reason is, of course, is the relatively small distance to our nearest neighbor that could play into our hands when transporting mineral resources from the Earth and back. The surface area of the moon is about 16% relative to the area of our planet, unless you consider that part of the Earth's surface that is fully covered with oceans. If you place the area of our satellite in the region's most densely populated areas of the planet, it turns out that the Moon can hold a colony, consisting of almost trillion people!
Technically, if we put this region in the density of the most populous cities of the Earth, it turns out that the Moon is able to shelter a colony of a trillion people. But can the Moon not just to provide accommodation of such a large number of people, but also to provide the colonists with everything necessary? Well, in this regard, our satellite is the much poorer sister of the Earth than you would expect.
So, one of the main problems that can face a human colony on the moon, can be a complete absence of air. None of the existing ecosystem of our planet cannot dwell and produce a good offspring in airless conditions. Another constraining factor for the person may be the vulnerability of the moon before the solar storms and eruptions due to the complete absence of our satellite's magnetic field. Large temperature changes and alternating long periods of the day or night can make life on the moon is impossible. Surely in that case we should lose hope that one day man will become an interplanetary species?
the Concept of the space base from the European Space Agency
Perhaps it's not as bad as it may seem. Scientists believe that in order to create on the full moon of the human colony of several hundred people, we need to begin transport of air to the surface of our satellite, pumping it in an airtight structure, in which in the future will be able to live people. In order to make possible the accommodation of a colony of a hundred or a thousand people, we would have to learn to synthesize oxygen directly into the moon, what would have made this process very costly undertaking.
The Extraction of water under the lunar surface or on the bottom of the craters formed after meeting our neighbor with icy comets could also be a very bad investment because the cost of finding, crushing and digging up lunar ice would require a huge amount of energy. To fill the water deficit would be possible with recycling of the liquid from the soul of the astronauts, their urine and sweat, but even so the usual way of getting water that is used in the modern, goes with some loss, from-for what all available reserves will need to replenish from the outside from time to time.
“shower” on the ISS
Not knowing how much water is currently located on the moon's surface, it becomes very difficult to assess what number of people can simultaneously contain natural satellite of our planet. If somehow we can solve the problems with air and water, it will automatically reveal to mankind the way to create on the full moon of agriculture with special domes closed ecosystem.
Despite the fact that the question of the colonization of the moon and turning it into a second Earth there are still many unknown, researchers believe that theoretically the natural resources of the satellite could be fed to tens of thousands, even millions of people on the moon. A great breakthrough in the colonization of the new world could be the solution to the transport problem, which requires the rejection of spacecraft and the creation of devices of new generation. One of these would be on the development of which is already fighting experts from all corners of our planet. The invention of such technology would have helped with respect to the budget to move from the earth to the moon tens of thousands of people.
If you compare the moon with the Earth, the most similar to the lunar climate are conditions in Antarctica, where there are currently only a seasonal population of from one to four thousand researchers. Permanent extreme cold, isolation from the mainland and limited circle of scientists significantlyaffect their General health, allowing you to create a full-fledged settlement on the coldest continent of our planet.
It Seems that this outcome of events live on the moon will not millions of people, but only a few thousand at a time, which will eventually be replaced by cheaper labor —.

Structural features of the butterfly check valve
The butterfly check valve includes a swing check valve and a lift check valve. The swing check valve has a hinge mechanism and a door-like flap that rests freely against the inclined seat surface. In order to ensure that the valve flap can reach the proper position of the valve seat surface each time, the valve flap is designed in the hinge mechanism, so that the valve flap has enough swinging space and the valve flap is truly and comprehensively in contact with the valve seat. The discs can all be made of metal, or they can be inlaid with leather, rubber, or synthetic coverings depending on the performance requirements. In the fully open condition of the swing check valve, the fluid pressure is almost unimpeded, so the pressure drop across the valve is relatively small. The valve flap of the lift check valve is located on the valve seat sealing surface of the valve body. In addition to the valve flap being free to lift and lower, the valve is like a shut-off valve. The fluid pressure causes the valve flap to lift from the valve seat sealing surface. The return of the medium causes the valve flap to fall back to the valve seat and shut off the flow. Depending on the conditions of use, the flap may be of an all-metal construction or may be in the form of a rubber or rubber ring on the valve disc holder. Like the shut-off valve, the passage of fluid through the lift check valve is also narrow, so the pressure drop through the lift check valve is larger than that of the swing check valve, and the flow rate of the swing check valve is limited. Very few. This type of valve should generally be installed horizontally in the pipeline.
The check valve can be divided according to its structure and installation method:
1. The valve flap of the butterfly check valve has a disc shape and rotates around the shaft of the valve seat passage. Because the valve passage is streamlined, the flow resistance is smaller than that of the butterfly check valve, which is suitable for low flow rate and flow. Frequently changing large diameter applications, but not suitable for pulsating flow, the sealing performance is not as good as lifting. The butterfly check valve is divided into three types: single-valve, double-valve and multi-valve. These three forms are mainly divided according to the valve diameter. The purpose is to prevent the hydraulic shock from being weakened when the medium stops flowing or reverses.
Second, the butterfly check valve: according to the valve operating form is divided into two types: 1, the valve flap sliding valve along the vertical centerline of the valve body, the butterfly check valve can only be installed on the horizontal pipe, at high pressure The upper flap of the small-diameter check valve can be a ball. The butterfly check valve has the same valve body shape as the shut-off valve (common to the shut-off valve), so its fluid resistance coefficient is large. Its structure is similar to the stop valve, the valve body and the valve flap are the same as the shut-off valve. The upper part of the valve flap and the lower part of the valve cover are machined with a guide sleeve, and the valve guide can be easily lifted and lowered in the valve guide guide. When the medium is downstream, the valve flap is opened by the medium thrust. When the medium stops flowing, the valve flap is self-retained. The drooping falls on the valve seat to prevent the medium from flowing back. The direction of the inlet and outlet passages of the straight-through butterfly check valve is perpendicular to the direction of the valve seat passage; the vertical lift check valve has the same direction of the medium inlet and outlet passages as the valve seat passage, and its flow resistance is smaller than that of the straight-through type; A check valve that rotates around the pin in the valve seat. The butterfly check valve has a simple structure and can only be installed on a horizontal pipe with poor sealing performance.
Third, the pipeline type check valve: the valve sliding along the center line of the valve body. Pipeline check valve is a new type of valve. It is small in size, light in weight and good in processability. It is one of the development directions of check valves. However, the fluid resistance coefficient is slightly larger than the swing check valve.
4. Press-type check valve: This valve is used as a boiler feed water and steam shut-off valve. It has a comprehensive function of a lift check valve and a shut-off valve or an angle valve.
In addition, there are some check valves that are not suitable for pump outlet installation, such as bottom valves, spring type, Y type and other check | [

The Human Rights Council this afternoon concluded its special session on the human rights situation of the minority Rohingya Muslims and other minorities in the Rakhine state of Myanmar. In a resolution, the Council condemned the alleged systematic and gross violations of human rights and abuses committed against persons belonging to the Rohingya Muslim community and other minorities in Myanmar, and requested the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights to track progress concerning the human rights situation of Rohingya people, and to provide oral updates to the Council as well as a comprehensive written report.
In the resolution on the human rights situation of the minority Rohingya Muslim community and other minorities in the Rakhine state of Myanmar, adopted by a vote of 33 in favour, three against and nine abstentions, the Council strongly condemned the alleged systematic and gross violations of human rights and abuses committed in Myanmar, in particular in Rakhine state, notably against persons belonging to the Rohingya Muslim community and other minorities, including women and children. It condemned the attacks against Myanmar police and military posts carried out on 25 August 2017 and all acts of violence against the security forces, and stressed that the challenges facing Rakhine state and other areas in Myanmar could be resolved only through peaceful means. The Council expressed grave concern at consistent allegations of widespread sexual violence, including rape and gang rape, and called for those allegations to be investigated, for those found responsible to be held to account, and for access by victims of human rights violations, including victims of rape and other forms of sexual violence, killings and other attacks, to long-term health services and psychosocial support to be ensured.
The Council requested the High Commissioner for Human Rights to track progress concerning the human rights situation of Rohingya people, and to provide oral updates, followed by an interactive dialogue, at the thirty-eighth, forty-first and forty-fourth sessions of the Human Rights Council, with a view to reaching a comprehensive solution of the crisis within three years through the full implementation of the present resolution and Council resolution 34/22.
The Council also requested the High Commissioner to prepare a comprehensive written report on the situation, including on the level of cooperation and access given to the Fact-Finding Mission and other United Nations human rights mechanisms, the implementation of the present resolution, the findings and recommendations of the United Nations system on the situation of human rights of Rohingya people in Rakhine state and recommendations on a future course of action, to present the report to the Human Rights Council at its fortieth session, and to submit the report to the General Assembly for its consideration.
The opening meeting of the special session heard keynote statements by Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein, United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights; Catalina Aguilar Devandas, Chairperson of the Coordinating Committee of the Special Procedures, who also spoke on behalf of Yanghee Lee, Special Rapporteur on the human rights situation in Myanmar; Marzuki Darusman, Chair of the Fact-Finding Mission on Myanmar, in a video statement; and Pramila Patten, Special Representative of the Secretary-General on sexual violence in conflict; as well as statements by Myanmar and Bangladesh as the concerned countries.
A summary of their statements and the debate can be found here and here. This was the Human Rights Council’s twenty-seventh special session. Documentation relating to the special session is available on the Human Rights Council webpage.
The thirty-seventh regular session of the Human Rights Council will take place from 26 February to 23 March 2018.

A branding project for a bar and restaurant on the edge of the River Stour in Suffolk. The design brief was for a clean, elegant brand identity based on the shape of a swan with wings outstretched. The typographic style was developed using various vintage restaurant menus as inspiration, and combines the classical elegance of Bodoni with the clean and modern feel of Avenir Next Condensed to create a distinctive and eclectic feel.
Design for Print
Two separate menu styles were developed for the bar and restaurant, to reflect the slightly different feel of the two areas. Artwork and design guidelines were provided so that the client could carry out any future menu editing themselves. Other items such as business cards, special events posters, external signage and print advertisements were designed to coordinate with the brand identity and help strengthen the overall brand look and feel.
Other ongoing work for The Henny Swan includes food, interior and exteriors photography for use on social media and print advertisements. The style of the photography is natural, with minimal artificial lighting. The food is always shot in the restaurant itself, with a compact lighting set up.
A single page website layout was designed, using the same brand elements (colours, photography and typography) developed for the main brand identity and printed brand applications. The client built the website themselves, using the design provided as a guide. | [

In silico docking was used to select a group of new candidate synthetic affinity ligands for purification of recombinant blood coagulation factor VIII. Previously designed by Kessler and coworkers peptide ligands L3 and L4, reversibly binding factor VIII molecule, were used as reference compounds. Assumed binding sites of these compounds were located at C1 or/and Ñ2 domains of the protein.
In the present work we have modelled the interaction of L3 and L4 compounds with theoretically proposed binding surfaces, located at apex regions of C1 and C2 domains. It was found that both compounds bind to the mapped surfaces with significant composite docking indexes. These surfaces were used for in silico docking of intact and modified virtual compound libraries from Asinex and Chembridge suppliers. The final docking scores of the top candidates from both libraries are of the same range and closely correspond to docking scores of reference compounds. Trimming of the initial library and modification of compounds molecules by the linker group, performed by simple Perl scripts before the docking run dramatically increased both calculation efficiency and chemical relevance of top candidates. Small subset of ligand candidates will be further tested for affinity and reversibility of factor VIII binding.

Accessory maker Novoflex has a new lens adapter that will let you use Nikon F-mount lenses on Canon EOS bodies. It adds one big extra over previous versions: you get a ring to control aperture on Nikon G-lenses (those without an aperture ring.)
One of the great things about the little mirrorless cameras like the Panasonic G-series, the Olympus Pens and the Sony NEXes is that their currently meager lens line-up can be supplemented by other lenses old and new, just by using an adapter. SLRs, on the other hand, are pretty much stuck with the glass that was made for them.
An adapter has a thickness, and when you put one on a lens, you move that lens away from the film (or sensor). This stops the lens focusing at infinity (and will also allow it to focus a little closer). Thus, mounting a Canon lens on a Nikon body doesn't work so well. The mirrorless cameras already have a lot of extra space to spare, so the adapters have room to fit. Novoflex has managed to get this ring thin enough not to cause focus problems.
The new EOS/NIK-NT adapter has an integrated aperture ring so that you can still set the hole-size. As G-series lenses are controlled entirely by electronics in the camera body, they need this extra to work on a Canon camera. Thus, auto-exposure (aperture priority) will work by actually stopping down the lens. Focus will still be manual, although infinity focus is maintained. If you have lenses with aperture rings, another adapter is available.
The problem is that there are plenty of great lenses for both Canon and Nikon, so we wonder why you'd need this adapter. For quick, fun experiments it will be great, but otherwise its hard to see the point. Especially when you consider the price, a rather odd $292.99.

a movie lovin' goof
A sexploitation movie bordering on softcore before it turns into a "Dirty Harry/Death Wish" riff, where Morgan Paull's titular small-town cop is forced to find his inner brutish masculinity in addition to his hedonistic virility. And, wouldn't you know it, but that allows him to finally melt the local ice queen! Not deep enough to make its content morally suspect, co-director Lewis Teague (on loan from New World Pictures) helps writer and co-director Leon Capetanos keep the film engaging, giving…
The optimistic existentialist flip-side to "nothing matters"--what if everything mattered? What if empathy could be a constructive weapon? What if a once-huge child actor could come back in a big way and make it seem like he'd never left? What if an international movie star finally got the leading role she'd always deserved? What if the weirdos who made Lil' Jon music videos and the farting corpse movie went bigger, not smaller, for their follow-up feature? What if people had hot dogs for fingers?
It's great to have a film that asks the big questions and answers them in the most exciting, innovative and heartwarming manner. | [

WHY IS DETOXIFICATION IMPORTANT?
We are constantly exposed to pollutants
in the air we breathe, the water we drink and the food we eat. Even clothes, cosmetics, lotions are loaded with dangerous
These harmful substances, in the long term, induce damage to the body. Because we cannot metabolize
or eliminate them naturally, they accumulate and eventually produce serious diseases of many different types, including, but
not limited to cancer, high blood pressure, diabetes, allergies, MS and other autoimmune disorders, heart disease, arthritis,
chronic fatigue, and neuroligical conditions. We have an internal detoxification system. However, so many toxins accumulate
that our system becomes overloaded. Toxins are then stored in fat tissue, progressively leaking out and damaging our organs,
thus producing diseases and accelerated aging.
WHEN IS DETOXIFICATION NEEDED?
Nobody can live in a toxin-free environment any more. Therefore a regular detoxification is needed to help us with
and prevent chronic diseases.
Unexplained headaches and fatigue, indigestion, joint or muscle pain, lack of energy,
decreased memory, abnormal body odor, brittle nails and hair, tremors, acne, are just a few signs that a detoxification is
Of course, if someone has been exposed to harsh pollutants- pesticides, cleaning solvents...- or has
used a lot of alcohol or steroid hormones, detoxification is of prime importance to this person's health.
TOXINS ARE OF DIFFERENT KINDS AND ORIGINS
The Phtalates released from plastics, including plastic
wraps, bottles, styrofoam, in our foods and drinks, interfere with our hormones. They can cause infertility, fatigue,
depression, mood swings, hyperactivity, thyroiditis, low sex drive and energy, endometriosis, learning disability and much
more. When they accumulate in organs, they trigger hormone-related cancers: breast, prostate, thyroid, testicular.
In our modern
society we use a lot of plastics for different purposes such as to wrap or store food, but we found them also in water, baby
or other plastic bottes, styrofoam products, toys, medical devices (IV lines), cosmetics, and more.
of these plastics seem to interfere with our hormones creating all kinds of potential health problems.
concern are the chemicals called phthalates, usually found in soft plastics and added
to PVC to increase softness, flexibility and durability.
These chemicals contain a hormone-disrupting substance called
bisphenol A. This substance can leak into our foods or drinks, especially when exposed
to heat. In high amounts, it is likely to promote breast cancer - cells - as well as other cancer cells- proliferation.
The common organ targets of phthalates are the liver, kidneys, testes, thyroid, prostate, breasts, and the fetus is
also a target.
Studies performed since the 1980's on lab animals as well as some recent human data indicate
that exposure to phthalates are implicated in the following:
- liver, kidney,
breast, prostate, testicular, thyroid cancers
- reproductive toxicity-
especially testicular atrophy due to decreased testosterone production and depletion of zind in the testis. Male reproductive
development seems to be very sensitive to some phthalates. The phthalates dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and diethylhexyl phthalate
(DEHP) are particular involved in the reduced development of male sexual characteristics during in
vitro exposure, as well as a low sperm count and quality later in adultwood.
In May 2005, researchers have finally
identified an association between pregnant women’s exposure to phthalates and their side effects on sexual development
in their male babies.
- developmental toxicities, includingvarious birth
defects and even fetal deaths, learning disabilities in children.
the result of studies done in 2006 indicates an increase in response to allergens after exposure to phthates.
early puberty : in 2000, Puerto Rican scientists reported on an association between
exposure to DEHP and premature breast development in young girls.
men exposed to environmental levels of phthalates, in 2002/2003 studies, showed DNA damage in the sperm, reduced sperm quality.
More and more debates have been developed to ensure safer products especially for children who may be at higher
risk than adults.
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommended in 2003 that more research on phthalates effects on
the fetus and infants be performed.
By disrupting our hormones, it is extremely likely that the ubiquitous contaminants
phthalates induce various health problems, including cancer and thus we should be very wise in our use of these products and
try to avoid as much exposure as we possibly can.
Found in some of our foods, pesticides also interfere with hormones and are carcinogenic. | [

Clemens provided construction management services for the Cristo Rey Philadelphia High School, a private Catholic high school for low income students. The new, $30 Million, 105,000 sf high school sits on a 5+ acre former brown acre site and was built to accommodate 600 students.
When we originally priced the full school, they did not have the funds to proceed with the full scope. As a result, we worked extensively with Blackney Hayes to pare down the project to only include the renovation of the tricycle factory and construction of the new academic building. During the construction of same, we were advised of the additional funds to proceed with the gymnasium. This required us to revamp our approach, schedules and budget while still delivering the school in time for the 2019 academic year. Multiple funding sources included: RACP, New Market and Historic Tax Credits.
Structural repairs and restoration were required of the five-story, heavy timber and masonry warehouse building that was formally a lively and operating tricycle factory owned by A. Mecky Company. Renovations were made to the existing warehouse and Clemens built an addition comprising classroom space for 600 students, a gymnasium and health center, a cafeteria to accommodate 200 people in a seating, a family room and faculty and administration spaces. Cleaning and restoration of the masonry façade included rebuilding, repointing and cleaning. The wood decking and over 100 historic beams were restored and replaced, some being reused in new areas around the school. Site work included an athletic field with turf field, parking lot, landscaping, fencing and lighting. | [

Venus, Mercury, Mars and Jupiter form a line in the early morning sky (6:15 am 26 April), as a jet contrail passes through. You will need to click to embiggen to see Mars.
I've been trying to get an image of the line-up for days now, but either bad weather or other issues prevented me. I finally got this image standing on the beach, looking back towards Largs North.
And wouldn't you know it, bad weather is forecast for the days when the Moon joins them. | [

DEERFIELD, Ill. — Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc. (WBA) is developing the picture of its future store base after turning the page on a nearly two-year process triggered by its proposed merger with Rite Aid Corp.
Beginning next spring, WBA plans to shut 600 stores under an 18-month program to rationalize its U.S. drug store network following its $4.375 billion purchase of 1,932 Rite Aid stores, three distribution centers and related assets. The deal, announced in June, gained Federal Trade Commission approval in September.
“We’re delighted to be completing this transaction, which will extend our network, particularly in the Northeastern and Southern states,” WBA executive vice president and global chief financial officer George Fairweather said late last month in a conference call on WBA’s fiscal 2017 results. “In the past week, we’ve acquired the first stores to confirm the operational readiness of the key Rite Aid transitional IT systems. We will then begin acquiring stores in phases, with completion anticipated in spring 2018.”
Stefano Pessina, executive vice chairman and chief executive officer, noted in the call that although the transaction changed from a planned Walgreens-Rite Aid merger to a smaller asset acquisition, the deal brings WBA significant value in greater scale and efficiency.
“In September, we saw in the U.S. our acquisition of assets from Rite Aid move from review to execution, a process that I will not deny took us far longer and was far more complicated than I had expected,” Pessina told analysts.
“We were always optimistic that a deal could be structured in a way that would be acceptable to all parties,” he said. “While the deal we ended up doing was very different from what we originally announced, it was not so very different from what I had originally envisioned.”
Integration of the Rite Aid stores — including rebranding to the Walgreens banner — will cost an estimated $750 million, WBA said. The company also is earmarking about $500 million for store conversions and related activities.
“To deliver the full benefit of the acquisition, we must of course fully integrate and rebrand the retained stores into the Walgreens network. This is a relatively complex, time-consuming and costly process. Initially, Rite Aid is providing transitional services for all acquired stores,” Fairweather said. “Over time, we will transfer these stores onto Walgreens’ existing IT systems prior to rebranding as Walgreens with our full retail offer. We expect to complete the integration of the acquired stores and related assets within the next three years.”
WBA said it expects the Rite Aid asset sale to yield $300 million in annual synergies, fully realized within four years of the initial closing of the transaction and coming mainly from procurement, cost savings and other operational issues.
WBA’s store optimization initiative stems from a sweeping review of its U.S. store network after the FTC green-lighted the Rite Aid asset purchase. “Following regulatory clearance, we have been able to complete a comprehensive review of the combined store portfolio to determine the scope for optimizing locations,” Fairweather said. “This has resulted in our decision to close approximately 600 stores and related assets over an 18-month period beginning in spring 2018.”
Alex Gourlay, co-chief operating officer of WBA, said in the call that stores earmarked for closure are mainly Rite Aid locations near Walgreens stores. “The vast majority of these closures will be Rite Aid and are actually within one mile of another drug store that we own,” he explained.
Pretax charges from the store optimization plan, on a GAAP basis, will total about $450 million, mostly in cash, WBA stated. Cost savings from the program are forecast at roughly $300 million annually and are expected to be fully realized by the end of fiscal 2020.
“I am pleased we are finally able to get on with the process of bringing these stores into our group,” Pessina said, “and undertaking the next phase of review and transformation work within our U.S. network.” | [

A real-life secessionist movement seizes a historic American landmark and major media outlets treat the uprising as a curiosity of mere passing interest. Meanwhile, that same media gives a thumbs-up to a seditious, balkanizing plan for Aloha State apartheid.
AP's Mark Niesse reported yesterday, "Native Hawaiian sovereignty advocates" who are members of the group known as the Hawaiian Kingdom Government occupied the grounds of the palace of Hawaii's final monarch, Queen Lili`uokalani. "Hawaiian activists have long used the palace as the site for protests of what they call the United States' occupation of the islands, but never before had they physically taken control," wrote Niesse.
Pacific Business News reported that the "protesters" surrounded the Iolani Palace in Honolulu, chained palace gates, posted no-trespassing signs, and told "palace officials that the palace is their rightful seat of government." The PBN story noted that "Only those with Hawaiian blood, as well as news media, were initially allowed onto palace grounds."
The Honolulu Advertiser reported that the "sovereignty group" claimed its actions were "not a protest or demonstration but a reoccupying of its legitimate seat of government." CNN called the occupiers simply a "group of native Hawaiians."
David Brock, the president and CEO of the George Soros-funded character assassination factory, Media Matters for America (MM), which euphemistically describes its mission as “comprehensively monitoring, analyzing, and correcting conservative misinformation in the U.S. media,” isn’t even pretending to be nonpartisan or fair anymore. Brock has assumed the chairmanship of Progressive Media USA (PMUSA) and in that role will spearhead “a four-month, $40 million media campaign centered on attacks on Sen. John McCain,” the Politico reports. “We’re a little behind where we need to be,” Brock said last week of the fledgling group’s fundraising following a Manhattan meeting with Soros, the left-wing philanthropist, and Paul Begala, the ubiquitous TV talking head and longtime Democratic Party operative.
Not too many commentators seem to have noticed that George Soros is slowly but surely becoming the mainstream media that is the focus of the analysis we do at NewsBusters. The liberal billionaire-turned-philanthropist has been buying up media properties for years in order to drive home his message to the American public that they are too materialistic, too wasteful, too selfish, and too stupid to decide for themselves how to run their own lives.
The first ad from the campaign, narrated by Oscar-nominated actor William H. Macy, shows footage of Americans taking action by storming the beaches at Normandy during World War II, marching for civil rights, and landing on the moon. Americans didn't wait to take action at these critical points in the nation's history, so "we can't wait for someone else to solve the global climate crisis. We need to act and we need to act now. Join us. Together we can solve the climate crisis..."
As a recovering journalist, it has always amazed me how little journalists, even those specializing in financial reporting, know about the basic principles of economics. Similarly, it has always fascinated me how otherwise reasonable reporters can be reduced to self-righteous anti-capitalist ideologues, spouting the kind of anti-market drivel that one might have heard at a Communist Party meeting in the 1930s.
Nowadays journalists routinely attack lenders who take a chance on the poor. Take the case of “‘Pay day’ loans exacerbate housing crisis,” an article by Nick Carey of Reuters. In it, Carey lectures his readers, identifying with certainty what is making the “housing crisis” worse. The culprit he identifies is the payday lending industry, a subset of the subprime sector so regularly vilified by liberals, including Senators Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.
The revelation that New York Governor Eliot Spitzer, the Social Justice League's caped crusader, has been involved in a prostitution ring will no doubt come as a shock to all those progressives who have faithfully –often fanatically– boosted him over the years. For years the boy wonder has prattled on about market abuses, both real and imagined, especially during his media-saturated tenure as New York’s attorney general from 1999 to 2006. For years journalists and pundits have hailed Spitzer as the protector of all things good. In a 2005 Time “Heroes & Icons” profile subtitled, “The Tireless Crusader,” John Bogle said Spitzer served with “energy, savvy and distinction” as state attorney general. In 2002 Time hailed him as “Crusader of the Year,” an event Spitzer notes in the bio of his gubernatorial website.
