Chrispx 0 Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 Hey,I would like to move some information from BibDesk to evernote. I would like to realize the follwing workflow:- based on the cite key of an entries in Bibdesk a new note should be created in evernote with the same name as the cite key- copy a minimal BibTeX record to this note- copy the content of the annote fieldCould this be done with AppleScript or in some other way? I would be very happy if we could find an approach to this question :/Thank you in advance!Christian
Level 5* GrumpyMonkey 4,320 Posted September 25, 2012 Level 5* Posted September 25, 2012 Hi. I am not aware of anyone mentioning that in the past, though perhaps someone could make it for the future.Personally, I find the promise of all of the bibliographic software unfulfilled in practice. I have migrated out of them (I was using several) and now have one note as a master bibliography. It links (as necessary) to reading notes on the works. The original source is kept as a PDF in Dropbox if I need to go and retrieve it (last name + first name + publication date). I've extracted all of the text from the PDFs (Automator does this nicely) and put it into Evernote, so I do have the content of the PDFs available in searches. Ideally, I would keep the PDFs in Evernote (as I did in the past), but with thousands of sources, my database is a bit more than Evernote can comfortably handle.
AllenH 0 Posted October 28, 2012 Posted October 28, 2012 Hi Chrispx! I think there may be a way to do this, but I haven't done it myself yet. [i'm just new to Evernote myself at the moment.] There is a web linking site called IFTTT which is "if this then that" (ifttt.com). They link up various services in various ways. I've just started auto-importing various events from other websites to Evernote via their service. I remember seeing things for dropbox on there... lemmie add it here (I'm being lazy). It claims to sync something in a public folder (you specify) to Evernote notebook you specify.: https://ifttt.com/recipes/31435 and the applescript titled: "Extract For E-reading" apparently can add a pdf file to a dropbox folder of your choice from bibdesk: http://se-server.eth...desk/index.html So, I suspect with a bit of work on this, you may be able to get the functionality that you want. If you try it out, can you let me know how you get on? I may want to do exactly this same thing. Thanks for keeping us updated!! -Allen ps- a quick note- Bibdesk is fantastic. I love it do death. Couldn't live without it, and it integrates with other software for writing in latex with auto-completion of citations, as well as e-mails citations and pdfs directly from a selection. Fantastic software. While I can understand GrumpyMonkey's frustrations, Bibdesk is truly the best bibtex citation software I've found, and does everything I want. Evernote can't auto-complete citation tags within LaTeX documents, so it really is not an option for scientific writing in LaTeX at this time. [if I'm wrong, please let me know, as I'm always willing to learn something new! ] So, fist-bump for being a bibdesk user, Chrispx! pps- if you don't yet have a dropbox account, here is my referral code, incase you want to get an account. (we both get a bit of extra space if you use the referral link- not cash, just extra cloud storage space): http://db.tt/mVB6mYn | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Six Ways EDAC Principles Shape Healthcare Art Programs
Scholars have been fascinated by the power of the built environment on healthcare outcomes since the mid-1800s. Florence Nightingale, known as the founder of modern nursing, was the first to document sanitation and stress on wartime mortality rates and applied her findings to British soldiers during the Crimean War, plunging death rates from 42% to 2%. Her contributions to modern medicine have inspired countless scholars to follow in her footsteps to cultivate the data-driven world of healthcare we live in today.
Today’s healthcare consumer is using published patient outcomes to drive their decision-making process. Physicians are increasingly being compensated based on quality data and measurable patient experience data. Hospital administrators use clinical results to develop protocols for daily operations. Just as these groups are using data to support their decisions, healthcare art consultants practicing evidence-based design (EBD) make informed choices rooted in research, data and professional expertise.
EBD practices have been formalized and compiled by the Center for Health Design into an educational tool known as the Evidence-based Design Accreditation and Certification program, commonly known as EDAC. Collaborating with architects, designers, healthcare leadership and staff, EDAC certified healthcare art consultants bring a higher level of accuracy and scientific rigor to strategically shape the most positive healthcare environment and promote meaningful and improved healthcare outcomes.
This white paper outlines six ways art consultants can use EBD to create effective project and client-based art programs with measurable outcomes. Whether you’re collaborating with a healthcare art consultant or creating a hospital art program on your own, download this white paper to understand how using EDAC principles can ensure your process is rooted in evidence-based design. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
In the midst of pandemics and job worries, family matters and just daily life in general, it’s easy to forget all that our DKE experience gave us and still gives.
Leadership opportunities at the Beta house, camaraderie with our fellow Beta brothers, life-changing philanthropy projects and friendships that will last a lifetime — it’s a lot to be thankful for. For many of us, those experiences made us into the men we are today.
We surveyed DKE alums from all across the country about their DKE experiences and they echoed this sentiment precisely. Their college years just wouldn’t have been the same without DKE. Check out a selection of their survey responses below on what DKE meant to them. It won’t take long for you to start nodding your head in agreement. You might even be inspired to pick up the phone and call up one of your fellow DKE brothers to rekindle some old memories.
Have a thought or two of your own you’d like to share with your fellow alumni? CLICK HERE to fill out our survey, and you may see your Beta memories, photos or reflections published in a future newsletter or eLetter.
“I have supported Beta DKE for nearly 50 years and my pledge class has held a reunion every 5 years with strong participation. Many of us maintain regular contact and see each other relatively often. My pledge Brothers and Beta DKE hold a very special position in my life.” Beech Watson ’71
“The Beta Deke House was a wonderful experience for me. It continues to be that through the friendships and activities our class has from time to time.“ Steven McCarroll ’68
“Being a DKE as an undergraduate was very important: I learned about leadership and working with a team. I met my wife at the DKE House. My son was also a Beta DKE.“ Tee Baur ’68
“I have been giving money to the DKE house for 40 some years. I was co-chairman of the rebuilding of the house after the fire in the 70’s.” Dave Phillips ’65
“ I support and have supported Beta of DKE because of the profound influence my experience there had on me and continues to have on me. The friendships I made there are among the most important in my life, and I want to pay if forward so that others might have the same experience.” Alfred Randolph ’84
“The DKE house is a perpetual well-regarded fraternity at UNC, so being part of that has been valuable.“ Ben Rudisill ’91
“The friendships and extended relationships have been critical in my development over the years, and I absolutely treasure the memories of my time at the Beta Chapter. I keep in touch with many Alumni including my pledge class on a regular basis. The experiences shared at 132 S. Columbia are etched in my brain and provide a constant reminder of the history and impact that the Chapter has had.” Christopher Harris ’95 | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
ISO/IEC 18014-3:2004 describes time-stamping services producing linked tokens, that is, tokens that are cryptographically bound to other tokens produced by these time-stamping services. It describes a general model for time-stamping services of this type and the basic components used to construct a time-stamping service of this type, it defines the data structures and protocols used to interact with a time-stamping service of this type, and it describes specific instances of such time-stamping services.
The usage of linking operations reduces the level of trust required in the time-stamping service. The trustworthiness of linked tokens depends on the integrity of the linking operations carried out by the time-stamping service. The integrity of the linking operations performed by the time-stamping service can be verified algorithmically. A time-stamping service producing linked tokens may publish values derived from the linking operations into widely available media to further bind the issued tokens to widely-witnessed events and provide additional assurance of integrity. A time-stamping service producing linked tokens may also use aggregation operations to bind multiple token requests together, thus providing higher throughput through the use of co-operating processes. Algorithms applicable to linking, aggregation and publishing operations are covered. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

These neurology reviews are short on purpose. To keep things simple we present just the core information on each neurologic disease. The articles are written for healthcare providers: neurologists and non-neurologists alike. To keep quality high, the articles are written by experts like neurologists, internists, and neuro-radiologists.
Most of the neurology reviews include common presentations, differential diagnosis, diagnostic testing, and treatment approaches. But keep in mind that the articles are just overviews and you shouldn’t use them for direct patient care. However, they are good resources for the RITE exam, USMLE step 1 or 2CK or 3, MKSAP, SESAP, and neurology board exams.
In particular, we emphasize topics that often get tested on shelf and board exams. If you have specific neurology questions, let us know, and we’ll look into an update. If it’s a topic a lot of people are asking about, we’ll weigh in.
The reviews are organized according to major subspecialities. For example, multiple sclerosis, ADEM, and autoimmune encephalopathies are reviewed under neuroinflammatory disorders. Strokes, intracranial hemorrhages, aneurysms and cavernous malformations are reviewed in the neurovascular section. Imaging approaches and new interventions are reviewed in the most appropriate section. For example, laser ablation is discussed in the epilepsy section.
References to recent comprehensive neurology reviews are at the bottom of articles. Some of the references are open access, others may require a library subscription.
In addition, we have compiled some of the best neurology board review courses available along with a wide variety of neurology CME options. For introduction to clinical neurology, or preparation for neurology shelf exams, our authors have put together a neurology audiobook primer. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

1. These cutters are made from PLA filament which is durable but can be damaged if mistreated.
2. Do not bend your cutters. The cutting edge is a beveled 0.4 mm for sharp cutting, because it is so thin and may lead to break if bent
or not cared properly.
3. Do not put any objects on top of your cutters.
4. Always handwash the cutter with soap and warm water or you can use a soft brush too.
5. Do not soak in water.
6. Cutters are not dishwasher safe.
7. Store in a cool, dry place in an airtight container
8. Use a clean soft cloth to wipe the edge after each use for a clean cut.
9. It is normal to find imperfections in your cutter while it is 3D printed, but it will not affect the quality of the cutter.
10. Printed on a 3D printer with biodegradable high-quality PLA plastic, safe for the environment and it is safe for food.
1. The clay cutters that I designed as a clay artist were 3D printed in my home studio.
2. All cutters have 0.4 cutting edge designed for a clean and sharp cut giving you less post baking sanding.
3. It is recommended to work on a tile, acrylic , glass sheet or any hard surface. (the best glass)
4. We recommend using a light layer of corn starch either on your clay surface or ‘dipping’ your cutter into it before use. Use a soft
brush to brush away excess corn starch.
5. Gently press into clay, slightly wiggle the cutter and lift to remove. Edges can be smoothed with your fingertips or sanded after
baking. I recommend sanding for the cleanest finish.
6. Measurements are taken at the widest or tallest part of the shape and therefore gives the actual measure of the piece of clay that is
cut. Please allow for a +/- 0.5mm variance. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Accurate belief state update for probabilistic constraint automata

As autonomous spacecraft and other robotic systems grow increasingly complex, there is a pressing need for capabilities that more accurately monitor and diagnose system state while maintaining reactivity. Mode estimation addresses this problem by reasoning over declarative models of the physical plant, represented as a factored variant of Hidden Markov Models (HMMs), called Probabilistic Concurrent Constraint Automata (PCCA). Previous mode estimation approaches track a set of most likely PCCA state trajectories, enumerating them in order of trajectory probability. Although Best-First Trajectory Enumeration (BFTE) is efficient, ignoring the additional trajectories that lead to the same target state can significantly underestimate the true state probability and result in misdiagnosis. This thesis introduces two innovative belief state approximation techniques, called Best-First Belief State Enumeration (BFBSE) and Best-First Belief State Update (BFBSU), that address this limitation by computing estimate probabilities directly from the HMM belief state update equations. Theoretical and empirical results show that I3FBSE and BFBSU significantly increases estimator accuracy, uses less memory, and have no increase in computation time when enumerating a moderate number of estimates for the approximate belief state of subsystem sized models.

These indulgent Chocolate Peanut Butter Skillet Brownies, made in mini cast-iron skillets, are seriously moist and decadent. The center is fudgy, and the edges are chewy—just the way we like our brownies around here! We take it up a notch by serving it a la mode with vanilla ice cream.
I’ll be honest — there are not too many desserts that blend peanut butter and chocolate that I won’t go crazy for. And I’ll use just about any reason to indulge in anything chocolate. Who’s with me?
So if you’re going to indulge, then brownies are probably high on your list. This skillet version combines peanut butter and cocoa (with a few more tasty ingredients), bakes it into a deliciously fudgy brownie, and serves it up personal style in mini cast iron skillets.
Chocolate Peanut Butter Skillet Brownie Ingredients:
- For your wet ingredients, you’ll need melted butter, sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla.
- For the dry ingredients, you’ll need Powdered Peanut Butter with Dutch Cocoa. This powdered mix is a blend of peanut butter, cocoa, a little sugar, and a dash of salt for flavor. Not only does it have a great peanut flavor, but it has 90% less fat and over 70% fewer calories than traditional peanut butter. Now that’s a win, and I use it all the time. You’ll also need regular cocoa powder (to give it that additional chocolatey flavor), sea salt, and all-purpose flour.
- And to top everything off, you’ll serve it with vanilla ice cream or your ice cream of choice.
How to make Chocolate Peanut Butter Skillet Brownies:
Preheat oven. Preheat oven to 350°F.
Blend wet ingredients. In a large bowl, combine the butter, sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla. Blend until smooth using a hand blender . Slowly add in the eggs, one at a time. Blend all ingredients until smooth.
Add dry ingredients. Fold in the flour and whisk until combined. Fold in the powdered peanut butter with dutch cocoa, cocoa, and salt and whisk . The texture will be thick but smooth. Do not over mix to ensure you have the perfect brownie texture in the end. Set the batter to the side.
Grease your skillets. Using butter or cooking spray, grease two 8-inch cast-iron skillets.
Add brownie batter to each skillet. Spread brownie batter evenly between the two small cast-iron skillets.
Melt peanut butter and create a swirl design. Melt 2 tablespoons of peanut butter (you can microwave for 5-7 seconds). Add one tablespoon of peanut to the top of the brownie batter, creating a swirl using the flat edge of a butter knife.
Bake and enjoy. Bake your brownie at 350°F for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Serve with ice cream.
Chocolate Peanut Butter Skillet Brownie Tips
- Brownies can fall into two basic categories: cakey and fudgy. Cakey brownies have a cake-like texture that is light, somewhat fluffy, and airy, while fudgy brownies are moist, dense, and gooey. I prefer a fudgy brownie, so this recipe has a higher fat-to-flour ratio. This means it has more chocolate and butter and less flour (and zero baking powder).
- When all ingredients are blended, your brownie batter should have a smooth and thick consistency. It should not be too loose.
- To make the peanut butter easier to work with, you can melt it in the microwave for 5-7 seconds. I find that using the back edge of a butter knife works perfectly to create a nice swirl.
- Make sure to grease your skillet before adding the brownie batter to the cast iron. You don’t want your brownie to stick to the skillet.
This peanut butter skillet brownie served with ice cream, can make any cloudy day seem like sunshine. Plus, this dessert doesn’t even require plates – spoons only!

The mouse is a dessert of French origin in which through cooking we incorporate air bubbles until a light and airy texture is obtained. It can be light and fluffy or creamy and dense, depending on the technique used. Usually, mousses are prepared with beaten egg whites, whipped cream, chocolate and, of course, sugar.
Because I love this dessert I couldn’t give up on making the perfect sugar free mousse. The first mousse recipe that I made was the chocolate one and it was spectacular, but a little variety never hurts, right? 🙂
Honestly, I’ve never been a big fan of the combination between the chocolate and mint, but I have decided to give it a chance. I tell you honestly that this duo mousse is flawless!
Sometimes even I don’t believe that what I cook and eat is healthy, but it is. We tend to associate healthy food with something tasteless or we are talking about it as if it was a punishment, but I think that this is a totally wrong perception.
Fluffy, light and full of flavor, this mousse is pleasure served in a cup.
This mousse is IRRESISTIBLE. ♡
This mousse can be consumed in the Dukan diet starting with the cruise stage, but you will have to replace the protein powder with skimmed powdered milk and add 5g of cocoa.
One serving has 26.6g of protein! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The State Bar has released the official findings of fact and conclusions of law of the Disciplinary Hearing Committee, which resulted in Mike Nifong’s disbarment.
The findings of fact make for chilling reading—in a chronological fashion, Lane Williamson laid out Nifong’s record of misconduct, from the DA’s first move on the case on March 24, 2006 to his repeated false statements to the State Bar’s grievance committee.
The findings regarding discipline are even more chilling. The DHC determined:
Nifong’s misconduct resulted in significant actual harm to Reade Seligmann, Collin Finnerty, and their families . . . Nifong’s misconduct resulted in significant actual harm to the legal profession. Nifong’s conduct has created an impression among the public within and outside of North Carolina that lawyers in general and prosecutors in particular cannot be trusted and can be expected to lie to the court and to opposing counsel . . .
Nifong’s misconduct resulted in significant actual harm to the justice system. Nifong has caused an impression among the public within and outside of North Carolina that there is a systemic problem in the North Carolina justice system and that a criminal defendant can only get justice if he or she can afford to hire an expensive lawyer with unlimited resources to figure out what is being withheld by the prosecutor . . .
No discipline other than disbarment will adequately protect the public, the judicial system, and the profession, given the clear demonstration of dishonest conduct, multiple violations, the pattern of dishonesty established by the evidence, and Nifong’s failure to recognize or acknowledge the wrongfulness of his conduct with regard to withholding of DNA and making false representations to opposing counsel and to the Court.
An appropriate legacy for the person Doug Brocker described as Durham County’s “minister of injustice.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

* Do you know what Network Monitoring is?
Suggested page: What Network Monitoring is?
Network monitoring is a vital process for maintaining the integrity and efficiency of a computer network. It involves the continuous surveillance of network components like routers, switches, servers, and firewalls to identify and address potential disruptions or failures. Using advanced software tools, IT professionals can track connectivity, traffic, and usage patterns, which helps recognise problems that could lead to network downtime or security breaches.
The importance of robust network monitoring solutions must be admitted, especially in today's digital world, where even minor inefficiencies can result in significant financial and operational setbacks. These solutions enable a proactive approach to network management, allowing for the early detection of irregularities.
Effective network monitoring means keeping an eye on various critical components:
- Routers and switches are crucial for directing internal and external network traffic and require regular checks to prevent bottlenecks.
- Firewalls, the network's gatekeepers, need monitoring to ensure they effectively implement security protocols.
- Server health is also paramount. Their processing power, memory, and storage must be continually evaluated.
- Wireless controllers and access points must be monitored to maintain strong and secure connections.
- Endpoint devices such as workstations and mobile units are vital to monitor for updates and security against malware threats.

The Dangers of Not Caring for your Implants
Posted on 9/25/2015 by Todd Jorgenson |
If you were lucky enough to be a candidate for dental implants when you needed to replace your missing teeth, you have the benefit of having functional and beautiful teeth that mimic your natural teeth. Dental implants make it easy to eat, smile and talk with ease. They do not pose the threats that dentures pose, such as slipping while talking or eating or making embarrassing clicking noises.
They also allow you to eat whatever you want without worry about knocking them loose. One thing that many overlook, however, is the risk of not caring for your implants. Just because they are not "real" teeth does not mean that you cannot suffer damage as a result of not caring for them.
Infections can OccurThe benefit of dental implants is being able to have a root on the artificial tooth. The problem is, however, that infections can still occur in your gum tissue, which lies underneath the dental restoration. Whether you have implant supported dentures or a dental crown, there is still the risk of infection occurring underneath the restoration. The most common reason this occurs is because patients do not properly brush the areas where the implants lie. Instead, they assume because they are not real that infection will not occur. When food debris, bacteria, and tartar get stuck in the crevices of the restoration, infection occurs, which can knock an implant loose.
Implants can FailIn general, implants are a successful treatment, but if you have the bad habit of smoking, they can fail. There are many reasons that smoking is bad for your implants. On one hand, it makes it very difficult for your implants to even take in the first place. This is due to the inflammation that smoking causes to the gum tissue, making it very hard for the implant to fuse to the jawbone.
Because smoking makes it much harder for your soft tissues to heal after the surgery, it can make the implants fail before they ever had a chance to help you. If you are able to successfully obtain implants, starting to smoke after they are complete puts you at risk for disease and infection which can render the implants a failure.
How to Prevent Problems with your ImplantsThe best way to ensure that your implants stay strong and intact is to take care of them with regular brushing and flossing on a daily basis. In addition, you need to consider your diet. Your gum and bone tissue still needs adequate nutrients in order to stay strong. Think of the food that you consume and make sure that you brush your teeth as soon as you can after eating. In addition, coming in for regular checkups is crucial.
This is a step that many people avoid since they assume that they do not need a cleaning or check-up since their teeth are not real. In reality, a check-up is even more important for those with dental implants because of the risk of infection. If we notice an infection starting, we will help you to eliminate the infection and get back on the road to overall dental health.
If you have dental implants, we cannot stress enough how important it is to keep them clean. This means brushing, flossing, and eating a proper diet. If you are concerned about the integrity of your implants, talk to our office about what you can do to fix the situation. Your dental implants are meant to last for the duration of your life, but just like your natural teeth, if you do not care for them, they will not last!
Please call us today for an appointment if you need help with your dental implants to ensure your optimal oral health. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Launching ceremony of the exchange mechanism between ECFA and the Chinese Embassy in Cairo and holding the first joint event in its framework
Within the framework of cooperation between ECFA and the Embassy of China in Cairo, the exchange mechanism between the two sides was launched, in a ceremony at the embassy headquarters on April 18, 2023. The first joint event was also held within the framework of this mechanism, under the slogan “Advancing the building of the China-Arab community with a shared future by benefiting from Chinese-style modernization”. Ten persons from the Chinese side participated in this important event, led by China’s Ambassador to Cairo, Mr. Liao Liqiang, Minister Plenipotentiary, Zhang Tao, Minister and Advisor for Economic and Commercial Affairs, Zhou Zhengcheng, and Minister and Advisor for Political Affairs, Zhao Liang. ECFA delegation included Ambassadors Mohamed Al-Orabi, ECFA Chairman, Ezzat Saad, ECFA Director, Magdy Amer, Abdel Fattah Ezz El-Din, Salah Halima, Ali El-Hefny, Mohamed Badr El-Din Zayed, Dr. Diaa Helmy, and the businessman, Mohamed Qassem.
Both the Chinese Ambassador and ECFA Chairman delivered an opening speech, in which they praised the extent of the progress of bilateral relations between Egypt and China, and the keenness of the two countries to enhance this positive trend in all fields, in parallel with strengthening the China-Arab cooperation frameworks and advancing them towards broader horizons, while benefiting from the “Chinese Path to Modernization” put forward at the twentieth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, which was successfully held in October 2022, and which is a distinguished product of the ancient Chinese civilization extending for more than five thousand years, and which includes unique and inspiring characteristics, which addressed the concerns of developing countries, and expressed their aspirations sincerely, not least the achievement of harmonious coexistence between man and nature, and its call to respect the history and traditions of various countries, which are equal in principle, regardless of their size, and also to respect their own choices and visions in development paths and modernization models, without dependence or imposition of conditions from abroad, and consistently with the interests of the peoples of these countries, with their various sects and ethnicities, which differs from the conditional Western-style development path.
In this context, the general debate session included an exchange of visions about the inspirations and opportunities that the Chinese modernization theory can offer to Egypt and the Arab countries, as well as Chinese mediation in reaching an agreement to resume diplomatic relations between Saudi Arabia and Iran on March 10, 2023, which revealed a deep Chinese understanding and awareness of regional issues, including Beijing’s ability to deal with hot and sensitive issues in the region, the region’s vision of China’s role and influences, and regional issues in which it can play a greater role, including regional and international issues in which cooperation between Egypt and China can be strengthened. This is in addition to the region’s vision of the United States’ role and the extent of its presence, including what adjustments the United States can make to its policy in the region, in light of the increasing Chinese role there. Finally, the latest developments in the situation in Sudan, and the available ways to address them. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The art exhibition ‘The City of Changes’ is now telling the story of changes in Bangkok free of charge now until April 24 at the Bangkok Art and Culture Center. Visitors can visit every Tuesday – Sunday (closed on Mondays) from 10:00 AM. – 7:00 PM.
On February 24, 2022, Mr. Kriengyot Sudlapa, Deputy Governor of Bangkok, presided over the opening ceremony of the project ‘The City of Changes’ (Urban in Progress)’, which is now ready for the shows at the exhibition room, 7th-8th floor, Bangkok Art and Culture Center, Pathum Wan District, and is organized by Bangkok Art and Culture Center in collaboration with the Thai Public Policy Foundation and One Bangkok.
The Deputy Governor of Bangkok said that the art project shows that society and culture are changing hand in hand in Bangkok; when something changes, another thing has to adapt to the existing changes as well. Importantly, it shows that creative work is not only a matter of beauty but also a matter of a good public policy for the well-being of people, society, environment. The Bangkok Art and Culture Center Foundation is ready to support the operations of multi-disciplinary arts and culture to create an integrated experience for the general audience with the hope that the exhibition will be the starting point to drive cooperation to create policies of sustainable urban development for the future of everyone.
‘The City of Changes’ project is a creative project that invites more than 30 creative people from various circles including artists, designers, architects, conservationists, academics, actors, YouTubers, etc. to present interesting ideas about Bangkok. Inside the project, there are two sub-exhibitions: ‘City Adaptation Lab!’ on the 7th floor, and ‘Paradise Lost’ on the 8th floor. The exhibition ‘City Adaptation Lab!’ deals with understanding the skills of human adaptation to natural balance such as problems close to them- utility problems, traffic congestions, waste management. The exhibition ‘Paradise Lost’ talks about the importance of nature in the city, and the relationship between man and nature through the reflection of the failure of urban development. The fun from both exhibitions is the display of various forms of installation art, mixed media, paintings, and glass film, including the use of AR technology in some work where we can scan to view in a digital art form. Some works are interactive while some works are games.
Bangkok Art and Culture Centre (BACC) is a contemporary arts center located opposite from MBK shopping center (BTS National Stadium). It showcases art, music, theater, film, design, and cultural/educational events in its exhibition and performance spaces. The center also includes cafes, commercial art galleries, bookshops, craft shops, and an art library. It is intended as a venue for cultural exchange, giving Bangkok an operational base on the international art scene. The number of visitors has risen from 300,000 in BACC’s first year in 2007 to 1.7 million visitors in 2017. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Metal alloys are integral to modern engineering, construction, and manufacturing. An alloy is a mixture of two or more elements, at least one of which is a metal, combined to enhance or alter its properties. Understanding the different types of metal alloys is crucial for selecting the right material for a specific application, ensuring optimal performance, durability, and cost-effectiveness. Alloys can be broadly categorized into two groups: ferrous and non-ferrous. Ferrous alloys contain iron as the main component, while non-ferrous alloys do not. Ferrous alloys, such as steel and cast iron, are known for their strength and are commonly used in construction and automotive industries. Steel, an alloy of iron and carbon, can be further classified into carbon steel, stainless steel, and alloy steel. Carbon steel, containing up to 2% carbon, is widely used due to its high tensile strength and affordability. Stainless steel, which includes chromium and nickel, is resistant to corrosion and is used in kitchen appliances, medical instruments, and architecture. Alloy steel incorporates other elements like manganese, silicon, or vanadium to improve properties like hardness and resistance to wear.
Non-ferrous alloys are prized for their lightweight, resistance to corrosion, and electrical conductivity. Aluminum alloys, for example, are lightweight and strong, making them ideal for aerospace and transportation applications. Copper alloys, such as bronze copper and tin and brass copper and zinc, offer excellent electrical conductivity and resistance to corrosion, used extensively in electrical wiring, plumbing, and musical instruments. Titanium alloys are notable for their high strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to extreme temperatures, making them suitable for aerospace, military, and medical implants. Specialty alloys are developed for specific applications requiring unique properties. Nickel-based super alloys are designed to withstand high temperatures and corrosive environments, commonly used in jet engines and power plants. Shape memory alloys like National nickel and titanium can return to their original shape after deformation, finding applications in medical devices and actuators.
The selection of an alloy depends on various factors including mechanical properties, environmental conditions, manufacturing processes, and cost considerations. For instance, in marine environments, corrosion resistance is paramount, making stainless steel or bronze suitable choices. In electrical applications, copper alloys are preferred for their conductivity. The automotive industry often opts for aluminum alloys to reduce vehicle weight and improve fuel efficiency. Advancements in metallurgy continue to develop new alloys with enhanced properties. Research into high-entropy alloys, which contain multiple principal elements, aims to create materials with superior strength and durability. Additive manufacturing, or 3D printing, is also expanding the possibilities for alloy fabrication, allowing for complex geometries and customized material properties. Understanding metal alloys is essential for engineers, manufacturers, and designers to make informed decisions that affect the performance and longevity of their products. As technology evolves, the development of new alloys will continue to play a critical role in meeting the demands of various industries, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in material science. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The CCP demands worship places to get religious activity venue registration certificates but denies almost all requests, creating a “legal” basis for persecution.
by Zhou Xiaolu
The new Regulations on Religious Affairs that came into force in February 2018 foresee that no place of worship can operate without a Bureau-issued religious activity venue registration certificate. Though state-approved but without a permit, many churches or temples were allowed to exist before the new law was enforced. With the intensifying suppression of all things religious, however, the government uses the permit’s absence to close down or even demolish religious venues.
“Many temples in our city don’t have religious activity venue registration certificates,” explained a Buddhist from the prefecture-level city of Hanzhong in the northwestern province of Shaanxi. “They can be closed down, and monks be driven away at any time.”
An ancient Buddhist temple in Hanzhong’s Chenggu county also doesn’t have the certificate. “Temples without the permit may even be demolished,” a monk from the temple told Bitter Winter. He complained that he could do nothing but pray to Buddha to preserve the temple because the permit was denied every time its director applied.
There are abundant similar cases across China. While demanding each place of worship to have a certificate, authorities usually deny their applications without providing any reasons and later justify crackdowns and bans on them because venues “are unlicensed.”
Another ancient Buddhist temple in Chenggu county faces a similar plight. Originally built in the Tang dynasty (618-907), the temple started applying for a certificate as early as 2010, but to no avail. Its 80-year-old abbot still hopes the temple will get the certificate in his lifetime so that other monks could continue spreading Buddhism in the temple. Though saddened by the situation, the abbot doesn’t give up and continues fighting for the permit.
“The growing number of temples and Buddhists threatens the atheist Communist Party,” another monk from Chenggu believes. “That is why the government denies religious activity venue registration certificates and prohibits to build new temples.”
Buddhist, Taoist, and folk religion temples in the central province of Hubei are also heavily suppressed on the pretext of “being unlicensed.”
The Buddhist Yongzhenshan Temple, spanning the history of over three centuries in Qinggang village, administered by Hongcheng township in the county-level city of Jianli, was closed down in June.
The same month, the same fate befell the city’s Taoist Shanqing Temple, built in the Ming dynasty (1368-1644), and the Buddhist Luodu Temple, established 400 years ago.
“The central government demands to demolish all temples without certificates,” a Jianli government employee revealed to Bitter Winter. “Temples can only be saved from demolition if their managers agree to close them.”
“We do nothing illegal in the temple, just worship and meditate, so why does the government persecute us so much?” a temple manager from Jianli asked.
In August, the Buddhist Tianshou Temple in Jianli-administered Qipan township was converted into an elderly activity center because it didn’t have the registration certificate. The building was covered with Party propaganda slogans, such as “Don’t forget the original intention; keep the mission in mind,” “New thoughts, new goals, new eras, new journeys,” and alike.
Even the possession of a religious activity venue registration certificate doesn’t save places of worship from persecution.
The Buddhist Jinlong Temple in Shaanxi Province was demolished in June, although it had a valid certificate. Local authorities repurposed the land on which it was built, promising to find a place to construct a new temple. Instead, the congregation was merged with another temple, and the Jinlong Temple ceased to exist.

On December 13, the Vietnamese Cultural Space at the headquarters of the Vietnamese Embassy in New Delhi was the highlight of the programme, during which visitors could experience Vietnamese folk art forms such as Dong Ho folk painting, ‘to he’ (toy figurines), and performances of ethnic musical instruments.
Speaking at the opening ceremony of "Vietnam Cultural Space", Vietnamese Ambassador to India Nguyen Thanh Hai affirmed that India and Vietnam have had civilization exchanges and cultural connections thousands of years ago. In particular, the interaction is also reflected in the close relationship between generations of Vietnamese and Indian people, notably the friendship between President Ho Chi Minh and the leaders of India. This is a solid foundation for Vietnam and India to work together to cultivate a growing comprehensive strategic partnership.
According to Ambassador Nguyen Thanh Hai, through the Vietnamese Cultural Space imbued with national identity, the Embassy wishes to introduce to the Indian people the unique features of Vietnamese culture, and to immerse themselves in the heritages, tangible and intangibles which are recognized by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in Vietnam.
"Let's love Vietnam like Vietnamese people have long loved watching Bollywood movies, practicing Yoga and passionate about Indian cuisine", the Ambassador emphasized.
"Vietnam Cultural Space" is provided participants with an opportunity to learn about the beauty of Vietnamese people and their daily lives through the Vietnam Vitality exhibition featuring outstanding books, photos, and magazines, especially those about President Ho Chi Minh.
On December 14, as the last activity in the program, Vietnam Tourism Forum in India attracted the presence of a large number of representatives of Indian companies, businesses, travel agencies and 12 Vietnamese tourism businesses interested in the Indian market.

Hamburg / Ludwiglust – On Wednesday (20.02.2019) the city council Ludwigslust decided to support the project “Campus Wohnen & Arbeiten Ludwigslust”. The decision was preceded by events in the Urban Development Committee and discussions with the administration that also expressed its positive recommendation to the city council.
The VentusVentures Corporate Group has developed a concept „Campus Wohnen & Arbeiten Ludwigslust“ that creates a link between multigeneration living in attractive living spaces and the provision of modern, flexible working infrastructure in an urban environment.
For the implementation of the project, VentusVentures already acquired the land in Bürgermeister-Brandenburg-Straße and Garnisonstraße in Ludwigslust in 2017.
With the decision of the city council to support the concept and to allocate the additionally required municipal area to VentusVentures, further project planning steps, i.a. day care center, more apartments and also parking facilities can be initiated. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Deep Bed Farming (DBF), a regenerative agriculture technique developed by Tiyeni in Malawi, is a transformative farming method designed to regenerate degraded soil, increase crop yields, and provide a sustainable solution to food insecurity. DBF addresses a widespread challenge faced by African farmers: compacted soil layers, or “hard pan,” that prevent root growth and water retention.
How DBF Works
DBF begins by breaking up the hard pan with pick axes in the first year only, allowing water and roots to penetrate deeper. Farmers create raised beds along contour lines, closed at the ends, which prevent soil erosion and maximize water infiltration. This initial groundwork is combined with practices such as mulching, compost application, and intercropping to build fertile, moisture-rich soil.
Above: Hardpan ground in Malawi.
With the growing threats of climate change, DBF provides a model for climate-smart agriculture.
Key elements of DBF include:
- Soil Mulching: Regulates temperature, prevents water loss, and builds organic matter.
- Organic Inputs: Compost or manure enriches the soil, reducing the need for chemical fertilizers.
- Vetiver Grass: Planted along contour ridges to stabilize soil, reduce erosion, and provide organic material for mulching.
- Agroforestry: Integrates trees that add nitrogen and protect soil biodiversity.
Above: Deep beds retaining rain water.
Benefits of Deep Bed Farming
DBF offers numerous environmental and economic benefits. By improving soil structure and organic matter, DBF increases water retention and reduces runoff, ensuring that crops can thrive with minimal irrigation. Farmers using DBF have reported yield increases that are sustainable over multiple seasons, building resilience to climate variability.
Above: Top soil erosion into a river from conventional tilled furrows.
Addressing the Climate Crisis
With the growing threats of climate change, DBF provides a model for climate-smart agriculture. Techniques like mulching and intercropping help protect the soil and maintain biodiversity, vital to carbon sequestration and reducing greenhouse gases.
The integration of cover crops and agroforestry also aligns DBF with regenerative practices promoted by experts like Dr. Elaine Ingham at the Soil Food Web School, Geoff Lawton, a globally known permaculture consultant, and author Mary Reynolds, whose work in rewilding emphasizes soil restoration of ecosystems by returning urbanized areas to a more wild and natural state.
Building Food Security for the Future
Tiyeni’s success with deep bed farming in Malawi is a beacon of hope for addressing food poverty. By focusing on soil health and eco-friendly practices, DBF reduces dependence on chemical inputs and fosters an environment where smallholder farmers can achieve food security and economic stability. Expanding DBF’s reach could enhance food security across Africa, where conventional agricultural methods often fall short of meeting sustainable food production needs.
Africa and beyond
As food insecurity rises globally, methods like DBF demonstrate that more traditional, less conventional farming can be a practical, effective solution. Through soil regeneration, climate resilience, and nutrient-rich yields, DBF has the potential to reshape the future of farming in Africa and beyond. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
NEW YORK (Reuters) – TransCanada Corp said on Monday a stretch of its Keystone crude pipeline from Nebraska to Illinois remained shut after a leak was discovered in the area of St. Louis, Missouri, last week.
The cause and source of the spill have not been determined and there is no estimated timeline for a restart, TransCanada spokesman Terry Cunha said in an email. The closure affects the line that runs from Steele City, Nebraska, to Patoka, Illinois.
The 590,000 barrels-per-day Keystone pipeline system is a critical artery taking Canadian crude from northern Alberta to refineries in the U.S. Midwest.
TransCanada told Keystone shippers last week it was declaring force majeure on shipments affected by the shutdown, according to a notice seen by Reuters. Force majeure is a declaration that unforeseeable circumstances prevented a party from fulfilling a contract.
Canadian pipelines have been running at capacity as a production surge in Alberta overwhelmed existing pipeline infrastructure, forcing the Alberta provincial government to order production cuts starting last month.
Western Canadian heavy crude has attracted greater demand in recent days following U.S. sanctions against Venezuela’s state oil company.
The discount on Canadian heavy crude compared with U.S. light oil traded at about $11.50 per barrel on Monday, slightly wider than Friday’s level of about $11 a barrel, according to Net Energy Exchange.
Excavation crews worked through the weekend, but work was hampered by inclement weather, a spokesman for Missouri’s Department of Natural Resources said.
The total amount of oil spilled has not been determined and contractors will assess the exposed pipeline on Monday, spokesman Brian Quinn said in an email.
Temperatures in the St Louis area dropped more than 10 degrees Fahrenheit below average levels over the weekend, data from weather-forecaster AccuWeather showed.
TransCanada said personnel working on the cleanup of the spill affirm that the released product is controlled and there is no threat to public safety.
Both TransCanada and Enbridge Inc shut their lines in the St Louis area last week as officials investigated the source of the leak.
Enbridge said on Monday its Platte crude pipeline resumed normal operations on Friday evening.

The global benchmark traded near $95 a barrel, while West Texas Intermediate traded above $93, both about $2 off their highs for the day. Wider markets struck a risk-off tone, with equities in Europe plunging to a three-week low.
While crude has been swinging wildly in recent days as tensions around Ukraine grow, the underlying market remains robust. Physical barrels priced off a key global benchmark are hitting unprecedented levels, and the spread between between Brent crude’s two nearest futures contracts touched $2 a barrel.
Crude is swinging after a flurry of weekend diplomacy over Ukraine — including a telephone call between Presidents Joe Biden and Vladimir Putin — attempted to calm tensions. While Washington has warned a Russian attack on Ukraine may be imminent, Moscow has repeatedly denied that it plans to invade its smaller neighbor.
Oil remains near its highest level since 2014 as the crisis in Europe reinforces a rally that’s been underpinned by soaring worldwide demand, supply interruptions and declining stockpiles. Its run of weekly gains was the longest since October, before the emergence of the omicron virus variant. A potential conflict in Ukraine, coupled with retaliatory U.S.-led sanctions, would risk upending global energy flows.
“I can see the risk premium building together with the tensions in eastern Europe,” said Hans van Cleef, a senior energy economist at ABN Amro Bank NV. “But still I find it hard to believe that in case of escalation there will be sanctions imposed which would prevent Russia exporting oil.”
U.S. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan told CNN on Sunday that there’s “a distinct possibility” of major military action very soon. The same day, Biden spoke with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, telling him that the U.S. and others would act “swiftly and decisively” in the face of any aggression.
Oil option markets saw a surge of activity after prices spiked on Ukraine tensions Friday. Traders are paying bumper premiums for bullish call options, that profit a buyer from higher prices. They’re the most expensive relative to bearish put options since 2019, according to Bloomberg data.

Driverless cars have a considerably longer history than that. Around 1478, Leonardo da Vinci created the prototype. Da Vinci’s automobile was envisioned as a spring-powered self-propelled robot with programmable steering and the capacity to execute pre-programmed courses. A self-driving car (also known as a self-driven car or a driverless car) is a vehicle that travels between destinations without the assistance of a human operator by utilizing sensors, cameras, radar, and artificial intelligence (AI). To be considered fully autonomous, a vehicle must be able to go to a predetermined location without human intervention on roads that have not been modified for its usage. In this article we will discuss how will driverless cars affect our cities.
Will Driverless Cars Affect Our Cities?
The introduction of driverless cars will disrupt and revolutionize how people travel. While there will almost certainly be a net positive benefit to society, such as increased mobility for older Americans and the disabled or reduced reliance on fossil fuels, there will also be unintended consequences to consider. These negative consequences include the potential loss of millions of driving jobs as well as the collapse of the traditional auto industry. It appears that the momentum in the development of self-driving vehicles will only increase. As a result, it is critical to plan for these, as well as any other unintended negative consequences that may arise as a result of this disruptive technology.
How Driverless Cars will Affect Our Cities?
The ultimate truth of how driverless cars affect our cities is that-
- They will lower travel costs per kilometre.
- Will Expand AV availability to improve worker well-being, travel lengths, and city size.
- Land rents will rise in the centre while falling in the periphery.
- Potential AV daytime parking locations will be investigated.
What is the Difference between Autonomous, Automated, and Self-Driven Cars?
The preference of the term automated to autonomous is that the phrase autonomy can refer to anything other than electromechanical systems. A completely self-driving car would be self-aware and capable of making its own decisions. For instance, if you say drive me to work, the automobile may opt to transport you to the beach instead. A fully autonomous car, on the other hand, would take commands and then drive itself.
The phrases autonomous and self-driving are frequently used interchangeably. However, it’s a little different. A self-driving automobile can drive itself in some, if not all, scenarios, but a human passenger must be there and ready to take control at all times. Level 3 (conditional driving automation) or Level 4 (self-driving automobiles) would apply (high driving automation). They are geofenced, as opposed to a fully autonomous Level 5 automobile, which can go anywhere.
Benefits of Driverless Cars
Self-driving automobiles will benefit society in a variety of ways. When they become commonplace, they will:
- Significantly improved safety: Human mistake is responsible for 94% of all accidents. Helps to preserve lives, nearly 36,000 individuals were killed in motor vehicle accidents in the United States alone.
- Autonomous vehicles will be able to respond to traffic conditions faster than humans and will not be at risk of being intoxicated or falling asleep.
- Reduce traffic congestion Vehicles will communicate with one another and with roadside infrastructure to assist ease traffic congestion, thanks to smart city technology such as 5G.
- Decreasing reliance on humans for freight transportation Platooning lorries, or traveling in a convoy at high speeds, will optimize road utilization.
- Pollution and emissions are reduced: Up to 90% reduction in transportation energy usage.
- More mobility options: Users who are aged, young, or disabled.
- Increased convenience, efficiency, and dependability.
- Costs and maintenance requirements are reduced. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Mashrabia Gallery of Contemporary Art hosts “My Backyard”, a collective exhibition by five very young talents: Ahmed Yasser, Mahmoud Qabil, Marwa Atwa, Rawan Abbas and Sara Ayman.
Coming from different backgrounds, these artists ended up together spontaneously, through conversations, shared ideas and comparing notes. Now they decided to exhibit together for the first time. Encompassing a range of media, from painting and sketches to embroidery, their approaches are very different but they all tackle issues of the body and identity.
Welcoming us into their backyard, where the simplest things are the most complicated, the artists express dual emotions such as freedom and vulnerability, closeness and loneliness.
Adopting a collective voice, they have written, “We sit down… every night in our small garden, just five seats as if the world is void around us, contemplating what surrounds us in our daily routine, watching the swing in confusion… Is it swaying in response to the wind or are we sharing someone else’s fun in a parallel universe, looking at the lemon tree and asking, how does it give us its fruits so easily? If it were us, we wouldn’t present anything for free. We forget our coffee so often that it becomes our habit to enjoy it cold, joking with each other about whether coffee is originally a hot drink... the simplest things in our garden are very complicated, as they are within us.”
The exhibition is running through 15 July.

The foreign exchange (forex robot) market stands as a global platform where currencies are exchanged, making it one of the most liquid and dynamic financial markets. Traders engage in Forex for various reasons, including speculation, hedging, and international business transactions. However, navigating this intricate market requires knowledge, skill, and a solid strategy. In this comprehensive guide, we will delve into the essentials of Forex trading, covering everything from understanding currency pairs to implementing effective trading strategies.
Understanding the Forex Market:
The Forex market operates 24 hours a day, five days a week, across different time zones worldwide. It involves the trading of currency pairs, where one currency is exchanged for another at an agreed-upon exchange rate. Major currency pairs, such as EUR/USD and GBP/USD, dominate trading volumes, but traders can also explore minor and exotic pairs for diversification.
Key Players in the Forex Market:
Several participants contribute to the liquidity and volatility of the Forex market. These include commercial banks, central banks, hedge funds, multinational corporations, retail traders, and institutional investors. Understanding the role of each participant is crucial for interpreting market dynamics and making informed trading decisions.
Fundamental and Technical Analysis:
Successful Forex trading often involves a combination of fundamental and technical analysis. Fundamental analysis focuses on macroeconomic indicators, geopolitical events, and monetary policies to assess a currency’s intrinsic value. Meanwhile, technical analysis utilizes historical price data and chart patterns to identify potential trends and entry/exit points.
Risk management is paramount in Forex trading to protect capital and minimize losses. Traders employ various risk management techniques, such as setting stop-loss orders, diversifying portfolios, and adhering to proper position sizing. Additionally, maintaining a disciplined approach and avoiding emotional decision-making are essential aspects of effective risk management.
Developing a Trading Strategy:
Crafting a robust trading strategy is essential for consistent profitability in the Forex market. A trading strategy outlines entry and exit criteria, risk parameters, and trade management rules. Whether employing a scalping, day trading, swing trading, or position trading approach, traders must backtest their strategies thoroughly and adapt them to changing market conditions.
Psychology of Trading:
Emotional discipline and psychological resilience are critical factors in Forex trading success. Greed, fear, and overconfidence can lead to impulsive decisions and irrational trading behavior. By cultivating patience, discipline, and a rational mindset, traders can mitigate the psychological biases that often hinder performance.
The Forex market offers vast opportunities for traders to capitalize on currency fluctuations and generate substantial profits. However, success in Forex trading requires a comprehensive understanding of market dynamics, effective risk management, and a disciplined approach to trading.

Sikan River is one of the end branches flowing from Saymareh River. 57% of agricultural land in Dareshaher are located in the environs of this river. In view of the consumption of 1343 tons of chemical fertilizers per year, the effluents from this land can influence the quality of river water. With a view to providing basic management strategies, the seasonal variations in water quality were evaluated. In this way, the quality characteristics of river water which may be influenced by wastewater, was measured in four seasons throughout the year. The NH3ranged from 0.53 to 0.55 mg/lit in spring-summer and 0.19-0.26 mg/lit in autumn-winter which is higher than the drinking water guidelines value for spring-summer, namely <0.3. The nitrate content was within the permissible range for potable water, and varied from 3.7 to 7.3 mg/lit in autumn and summer, respectively. The levels of phosphate in the river varied between 0.007 and 0.032 mg PO4 as P/lit in winter and summer, respectively, which is the standard level for P in water system to prevent eutrophication-related problems, i.e. <0.035 mgP/lit. The sulfate concentration was higher than the recommendation standard of 250 mg/lit in autumn. DO and COD levels were completely acceptable. In sum, the related agricultural activities justify the relative increase of mentioned parameter in summer. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Crystallisation is a phenomenon that touches every person, each day of their lives. It lies at the heart of a vast range of fields in science and technology, including pharmaceuticals, healthcare, nanomaterials and foodstuffs, as well as environmental issues like weathering and carbon-capture. Only by building a fundamental understanding of crystal nucleation and growth can we hope to control these processes.
Indeed, there has recently been a leap in our understanding of nucleation and growth thanks to advances in analytical techniques, which have enabled the study of the nanoscale processes which govern crystallisation. We are addressing this challenge by developing strategies to design and produce crystals with defined polymorph, orientation, morphology and size.
Over the last five years, we have built expertise and collaborations to study crystallisation using techniques such as synchrotron powder XRD, high-resolution cryo-TEM, AFM, EXAFS and the surface force apparatus. This has enabled us to show, for example, that crystallisation from vapour often proceeds via liquid condensates in surface pores, which has important implications for ice formation in clouds and climate modelling.
We are especially interested in bio-inspired crystallisation, where the remarkable materials that are biominerals provide inspiration for the design and formation of synthetic crystals under ambient conditions. Here, we have shown that in contrast to current theories which emphasise control using biomolecules, nature uses physical confinement as a major route to controlling crystallisation.
We have also used bio-inspired strategies to produce "artificial biominerals" that have mechanical properties equivalent to their biogenic counterparts. The flexible resources available within this Platform Grant will be used to underpin our existing research portfolio and to explore new ideas and approaches to understanding and controlling crystallisation.
Attainment of this ambitious goal requires a strategy that includes longer-term, higher-risk research. Particular emphasis will be placed on the use of the physical environment - confinement and surface topography - to control crystallisation.
As examples, we will extend existing projects to investigate the combined effects of confinement and surface chemistry, and to study the crystallisation of amorphous minerals within carbon nanotubes. We will explore new directions including the control of protein crystallisation, and microfluidic devices for the study of crystallisation within droplets, with the expectation of building new research programmes based on the results.
Interdisciplinary research environment
The Platform Grant will also provide a superior research and training environment for PDRAs and students. Crystallisation is a truly interdisciplinary subject, and a particular strength of our group is its ability to take both chemical and physical perspectives on the subject.
This grant will hence be particularly valuable in providing a cohesive framework across the Schools of Physics and Chemistry at Leeds to help our researchers to work together as an integrated team. Staff funded by the grant will be assigned to projects rather than individual investigators, thereby enhancing the strategic nature of the platform support.
Furthermore, we will provide our PDRAs with enhanced career stability and continuity, and with superior professional development opportunities to help them to apply for competitive lectureships/fellowships or positions in industry.
Providing "added value", the Platform grant will be used to initiate/ strengthen collaborations with other internationally leading groups both within and outside the UK, and the PDRAs will gain enormously from research exchanges with other labs.
The flexibility of the grant ensures that we retain a critical mass of researchers in key areas (eg microfluidics, AFM) and that our large research group which is funded by many different grants remains integrated, responsive and dynamic. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Felines have been described with wonderful attributes like smart, intuitive and graceful; but they are also known to be stand-offish, asocial and (dare we say?) even rude when the mood strikes!
Chalk it all up to “cat-titude!”
Even the most ardent cat lover can, at times, be met with a seemingly indifferent feline. Or is it more of a misunderstanding on our part of a cat’s subtle, sophisticated body language? Well, thankfully, scientists have uncovered a secret to get your cat to like you … smile at your cat!
Keep reading to learn more!
The Cat “Smile”
With our canine friends, it is easy to decode their moods, it is written all over them! But cats are a bit more subtle by signaling their moods through twitching tails, ruffled fur, the position of their ears and whiskers and even through the narrowing of their eyes.
This specific eye language or movement has been called a “cat smile” by experts and researchers who believe it can help strengthen your bond with your favorite feline.
While eye narrowing by felines is nothing new (Jackson Galaxy has often used it on his “My Cat from Hell” series), recent studies now offer tangible evidence it might be a form of “positive emotional communication between cats and humans.”
A study done at the University of Sussex in England found that “cats are more likely to slow blink at their owners after their owners slow blinked at them, compared to no interactions between the two.”
“This study is the first to experimentally investigate the role of slow blinking in cat-human communication. And it is something you can try yourself with your own cat at home, or with cats you meet in the street. It’s a great way of enhancing the bond you have with cats.”
(Professor Karen McComb, University of Sussex Study Supervisor)
How to Smile at Your Cat
First, put yourself in front of your cat at a comfortable distance. Narrow (or squint) your eyes like you would if you had a happy and relaxed smile on your face. Then slowly blink at your cat by closing your eyes for a couple of seconds and then opening. If your cat responds in kind, you are “talking” with your cat!
This “slow blink” appears to make humans more attractive to the cat motivating them to respond in kind and to also approach the human. Research has found the role of slow blinking (or the cat smile) in cat-human communication also enhances your bond and trust with your feline.
A word of caution, do not try to force your cat to communicate back or engage in intense staring at your cat which can be interpreted as threatening in social interaction! Be patient and hopefully your cat will willingly engage in smiling communication!

With winter almost behind us and the sunlight starts to streams into our homes, our thoughts turn to our interiors as we give the place a spring clean.
If a new kitchen is top of your agenda for 2022 or you simply want to give an older kitchen an upgrade, we have some great tips and trends to share with you.
The first thing you need to do is to work out your budget so you are clear in your mind about whether you are in the market for a brand-new kitchen or simply want to give an older kitchen an upgrade by repainting or replacing kitchen cupboards and fittings.
Your best course of action is to consult an expert who can guide you through the different processes in line with what you have to spend. Many places offer free design consultations, you can drop in to book an appointment in one of their 18 kitchen showrooms around the country.
Do your research first so you can identify what the most important things are that you would like for you and/or your family; is it an island storage, what colour and finish? Go online or visit the many kitchen suppliers around the country for inspiration.
Plan and measure your space. It’s really important that you know the size of your kitchen. Measure up, before meeting with your design consultant, ensuring you include all room features – windows, doors etc – including the sink and waste location, as well as all sockets as this will affect where appliances can be located and save additional expense later if you have to move services.
The best practice is to measure all aspects of the room in centimetres. It is also a good idea to take pictures of your existing space to show to your consultant. If you are moving into a new build, don’t rely on drawings. Get in there and measure it yourself.
Colour trends that are in demand for this year are grey, blue, greens, ivory and anthracite tones. Elements which make your space more social, such as islands and breakfast areas, have become ‘must haves’ in recent years.
Shaker door style
Also popular for 2022 are shaker and handless door style, balancing classic and contemporary touches offering timeless design.
Black and basin
Brass handles and black taps add a contemporary pop to the finishing touches of a kitchen, are proving a big trend in kitchen design 2022.
Whilst smart storage features remain a favourite with customers, with door hung internal spice racks or hidden larder units to keep surfaces neat and tidy and create a streamlined space, additional storage such as pull-out drawers and baskets, or a larder or pantry are also popular as they provide more storage solutions and extra space.
Even after a kitchen is installed, customers may wish to improve their layout and storage, and this can be done by designing larder or pantry units.
Minimalism is also big this season, crisp white high gloss and handless doors with stone work tops, offers the sleek slick desired look.
The kitchen worktop is one of the most hardwearing areas in the kitchen.
Quartz worktops – renowned for their quality and aesthetic appeal are proving exceptionally popular this year complimented by a quartz splashback or upstand for an even more contemporary look.
If budgets don’t stretch to quartz or stone, laminate worktops are an option and are always a surface you can count on, they are competitively priced and offer a huge range of colours including wood and granite effect.
Paint it your way
Also on trend is the ‘Paint it Your Way’ range of kitchens which allows shoppers to embrace more colour, offering over 20 different shades. In line with other interior trends, blues and greens are hugely popular with the richer hues becoming the quickest growing trend.
If you are looking for inspiration for your home this weekend visit the Ideal Home Show at Simmonscourt 1st-3rd April. Check out the V2 Living Showhouse bringing together all the latest design concepts and products for every room in the house, pride of place you will find the stunning bespoke Kitchen created by Woodie’s for V2 Living by Ventura. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Visegrad Group countries could use green policies to multiply the effects of measures taken to restart their economies after the coronavirus pandemic is over, and Hungary could be a winner in the region, according to mathematical modelling by Cambridge Econometrics which resulted in four types of measure to achieve this goal.
Getting green policies right could put Hungary in pole position to post the fastest growth in the region, resulting in a 4% surplus of economic output by 2030, putting the country ahead of the Czech Republic with 1.5%, Poland with 1.3% and Slovakia with 0.5%, the report by think-tank’s Budapest office found. With such a surplus, Hungary could also put itself ahead in the return to a pre-pandemic performance as early as 2025, the report said.
Regarding growing unemployment connected with the pandemic, the study said that green schemes would help the four countries return to a pre-pandemic employment level 2-8 years before 2030. To achieve a long-term sustainable recovery, the report suggested the Visegrad Group of countries should make grants available to fund renewable technologies and upgrade their national electricity networks. It also proposes granting discounts on the purchase of new electric vehicles in a bid to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The manufacture of electric vehicles would strengthen the economy more broadly, it said. Further it proposes state subsidy schemes to support energy-efficiency solutions for building upgrades to reduce energy consumption. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The programme of the Faculty of Medicine has won the right to organize the Debrecen University Symposium 2012.
The University of Debrecen organizes the symposium for the first time, with the intent of creating a tradition. The institute wishes to begin a series of conferences that may enhance the recognition of our city and university, even in the international scientific scenes.
The theme of the conference is ’Heart and Brain and Blood’ and deals with the diseases of the brain and the cardiovascular system.
Acknowledged presenters will speak in 4 sessions, on 8-9 June 2012. The presentations can be followed from the internet, and there will be 6 places for video-conference.
The symposium will be a part of the Centenary programmes, which are held on the apropos of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Hungarian Royal University, the predecessor of the University of Debrecen. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The Tesla Supercharging Network launched ten years ago in September 2022. A lot has changed and improved since the first supercharge came out.
Accordingly, the company installed 4,283 stations with 38,883 individual connectors globally, per the latest third-quarter report.
The network expanded with 312 new stations and 2,718 in the last quarter. However, compared to the faster growth of EV sales, the number of Tesla vehicles per station continues to increase, noted InsideEVs.
Although the Supercharging network is Tesla’s own solution, there is also a Non-Tesla Supercharger pilot program in 14 countries across Europe that CCS2 (Combined Charging System)-compatible EVs can use, raising the number of EVs per station.
In addition, Tesla’s sales exceeded 3.24 million cumulatively by the end of Q3 2022, while the number of stations was still 4,283. This brings the number of Tesla cars to exceed 750 per station.
Notably, it is more than 20 percent higher than the prior year. However, the automaker provides solutions for the higher average number of cars per station, including increased charging power (average charging time decreases) and more stalls per station.
The data from the last quarters indicated that the company thinks it would have significantly more vehicles than stations. Meanwhile, in recent quarters, Tesla sold almost 1,200 EVs per new station and 130 new EVs per stall.
This shows that the third quarter of 2022 indicates a record of 1,102 cars per station and accommodates 127 vehicles in each stall. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Description | Variants | Images | Bay |
- Pirate Thunderhead Bay, a much lighter and more effective version.
A good strategy with the Thunderhead Bay when pirating is put it on a Manticore and use the Thunderheads to disable smaller ships while you go after the bigger ones (such as Leviathans). Although the Pirate Thunderheads are more powerful and the bay is lighter, they are also MUCH more expensive.
This bay is very heavy, expensive and requires a license, but it is very worthwhile as Thunderheads of any type are quite effective and can provide cover while you escape, move in for the kill, etc.
As with most fighter bays in the game, though, you can save money on buying the fighters if you disable the type for your bay and "board" them. In this case, you do not board the vessel; you add it to your inventory. If you already have the maximum complement of fighters, boarding will happen as normal. If you choose this path, try only to capture variants that you want, such as the "Light Destroyer"-class Thunderhead. The standard variant in this bay (from purchase) is the Gunboat-Class.
"The schematics of this Thunderhead bay look impressive, but you're a bit unsure as to how you'll fit it to your current vessel, although adding the capability to launch as many as three Thunderheads from your ship could never hurt."
The Thunderhead Bay is a weapon that uses Thunderheads as ammunition.
Purchase of this outfit in the Federation requires that you possess a valid Fighter Bay License. It is difficult to find due to it's low chance of appearance, but this outfit can be purchased on many worlds.
"The Thunderhead is so named for its main weapon, the Thunderhead Lance. The Lance is a solid beam of coherent laser light. In some ways, the Thunderhead has the worst reputation of any fighting vessel in the Galaxy, not because of turn ratings or levels of firepower, but because this assault fighter is the weapon of choice of pirates, privateers and corsairs throughout known space. It has enough armor to allow it to go up against large ships, and enough speed to allow it to catch most craft that try to flee."
A maxxed out load of Thunderheads will set you back 900k. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

How to Stop Melted Vinyl Siding
EZ Snap Customer Review with Video submitted by Shannon S in Canada
The Problem: Melted Vinyl Siding
We ended up discovering EZ Snap when researching what was causing the vinyl siding on our house, as well as our neighbour’s house, to melt. We discovered that the most likely culprit was the sun reflecting off the energy efficient windows that our new house was built with.
In the pictures with this review, you can see how the sunbeam was hitting the neighbour’s house and creating long streaks of melted siding.
After discovering what was causing the problem we set out to find a solution. At first I called several window coating businesses in our city to explain the problem and see if there were any local solutions available, which there were not. So, turning to Google, we found that there were three solutions:
1. Build and screw an actual screen over the window
2. apply a dispersing coating to the window
3. EZ snap screens
We decided very quickly that we did not want to screw anything to the house. With the extreme freeze and thaw we have here in our region of Canada, that seemed like a recipe for disaster to us. We debated for a time over the glass film, or an EZ snap screen, and ultimately went with EZ snap because it seemed like a more forgiving application process. I mean, applying a screen protector to an Ipad or cell phone without bubbles was annoying enough, I didn’t want to have to try to attempt it on a window-size scale, even though our problem window was very small.
The Solution: EZ Snap
Unfortunately our project was so small that we didn’t qualify for free shipping. However, the sizing instructions and ordering platform were very easy to use, and after reading a few of the reviews we decided to also order a couple extra pins for our tiny project. Given that the area we were covering was so small, we probably went a little overboard with the number of pins we used, but we decided it was better to have more pins per surface area than fewer. We placed our order and were expecting it to be delivered in a week to two weeks, given that it was coming from the US. Products from the US coming to Canada are notoriously slow. We were extremely surprised and happy when it arrived within 3 days of being shipped.
The Application: The instructions for application of the screen were clear and easy to follow.
We measured twice and cut once :-). While the screen was on the floor we also laid out the pins around it to determine where we would put them before I was out on the roof again. We also determined that we wanted to attach the pins to the 3M studs BEFORE I went out on the roof again. This went against the instructions, but our reasoning was that I could only just barely reach the top left corner of the window, and the snaps to attach the pins to the studs were so tight it would have been impossible, and very unsafe, for me to do stretching on my toes on a steeply sloped roof. With a plan of attack in mind and armed with a ruler, I went back out and placed dots with a Sharpie at the predetermined spacing. I kept the studs with their pins applied in a bag that I clipped to my jeans so I had easy access to them, and easily applied the studs to their pre-marked locations. We waited 24 hours before applying the screen to the pins, as per the instructions. The screen was a little tough to jam over the pins, but the only truly difficult area was the top left, which was entirely due to my reach, not the product. The caps snapped onto the pins easily after the screen was applied.
Overall we feel quite pleased with our choice to go with EZ Snap to protect our house and the neighbour’s house from further solar damage.
Shipping was fast, installation was easy, and the black screen is practically unnoticeable due to how dark our windows usually look against the dark siding of our house. Unless you knew it was there you wouldn’t notice the screen so I feel that it doesn’t diminish the aesthetics of our home at all.
10/10 would recommend EZ Snap.

Selecting health insurance is often one of the most important decisions you will make. Health maintenance organizations (HMOs) and preferred provider organizations (PPOs) are types of managed health-care plans and can cost much less than comprehensive individual policies.
Through the use of managed care, HMOs and PPOs are able to reduce the costs of hospitals and physicians. Managed care is a set of incentives and disincentives for physicians to limit what the HMOs and PPOs consider unnecessary tests and procedures. Managed care generally requires the consent of a primary-care physician before a patient can see a specialist.
An HMO provides comprehensive health-care services to the insured for a fixed periodic payment. There may also be a nominal fee paid for each visit to a health-care provider. Unlike traditional insurance, HMOs actually provide the health care rather than just making payments to health-care providers. HMOs can have a variety of relationships with hospitals and physicians. Plan physicians may be salaried employees, members of an independent multi-specialty group, part of a network of independent multi-specialty groups, or part of an individual practice association.
Because HMOs integrate health-care providers with insurance, they are able to provide improved health-care delivery. This unique relationship often allows HMOs to maintain a lower cost of service from plan providers. Because the HMO is both a provider and an insurer, this allows for lower administrative costs and paperwork for the patient.
HMOs also try to reduce costs by providing preventive care. Because visits to primary-care physicians are inexpensive for patients, the chance of early detection and care increases.
Preferred provider organizations have also contracted with hospitals and physicians to provide health-care services. Unlike the case with an HMO, you do not have to go to these physicians. However, you will pay more if you go outside the list of preferred providers. PPO plans usually have a deductible, which is the amount that the insured must pay before the PPO begins to pay. When the PPO plan does start to pay, it will usually pay a percentage of the bill and you have to pay the remainder, which is called “coinsurance.” Most plans have an out-of-pocket maximum. This helps protect you from paying more than a certain amount per year. After you exceed the out-of-pocket maximum, the coinsurance percentage paid by the PPO increases to 100%.
The out-of-pocket maximum, deductible, and coinsurance will each affect the cost of the PPO insurance coverage. You can help lower your premiums by having as high a deductible as you can afford to pay.

The Unified Payment Interface (UPI) can be thought of like an email ID for your money. It will be an unique identifier that your bank uses to transfer money and make payments using the IMPS (Immediate Payments Service). IMPS is faster than NEFT and lets you transfer money immediately and unlike NEFT, it works 24×7. This means that the online payments will become much easier without requiring a digital wallet or credit or debit card.
Currently, if you want to make a bank payment online, you have to enter their account number, account type, Bank name and IFSC code. Even if you have all these details, typing it all in, particularly on a phone, is a painful process. Most banks take upto 12 hours to add a new payee and only then you can make the transfer.
The idea behind the UPI is to do away with all of this. The interface will allow account holders across banks to send and receive money from their smartphones using just their Aadhaar unique identity number, mobile phone number or virtual payments address without entering bank account details.
According to NPCI, so far only 29 banks have agreed to start this service. If your bank is UPI-enabled, you can ask it to connect you to the system. To initiate a transaction, you can use two types of address—global or local. Global address includes your mobile, Aadhaar and bank account numbers. A local address can be a virtual address. Let’s say your bank gives you a virtual ID similar to your email ID (for instance, name@companyname). This virtual address will allow you to send and receive money from multiple banks and prepaid payment issuers. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Overall, a nice day for a run! Sure there was show, but it wasn't deep or slippery. Sure I did get slightly wet, but not soaked. The temp actually stayed a degree or two above freezing, and the wind wasn't bad at all.
I started on the west end of McDonald Woods Forest Preserve, where the Millenium Trail goes away from US Hwy 45. From there it goes south, going into Rollins Savanna Forest Preserve. Then the route stays south, exciting Rollins Savanna, onto the Grayslake Bike Path. Next the route goes on the north and east rage of Prairie Crossing. The last section is the Casey Trail, which goes from US Hwy 45 to the Des Plaines River Trail, in Independence Grove Forest Preserve. Finally, I turned around and reversed my route.
The toughest section wasn't a specific section of the route, as I have run these trails many times. Instead, it was my left foot bothering me. It was an annoyance for sure. I'll just take it easy for a few days.
Hydration included Nuun Hydration, which I had every two miles. My fuel included GU Energy Labs gels at miles 6, 14, and 22, applesauce at mile 10, and V8 at mile 18. Entertainment included many of my favorite podcasts!
Post-run, I had a Picky Bar, Skittles, and the rest of my Nuun! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Earlier this month the Department of Transportation announced its intention to use data to make America’s highways safer.
To begin with, this goal comes in the form of two pilot projects — both of which will integrate existing crash data sets with newer forms of “big data.”
“Advances in data science have the potential to transform the Department’s approach to safety research and provide insights that can help improve highway safety,” U.S. DOT Secretary Elaine Chao said in a statement.
In one pilot, DOT crash data will be integrated with crowdsourced hazard data from the navigation app Waze to see if this information can be used to predict likely future accidents. “This initiative will examine the feasibility of using this new crowd-sourcing application to provide a reliable, timely indicator of reportable traffic crashes, and estimate crash risk based on Waze-reported hazards,” a statement reads.
The other pilot will focus on the issue of speed — it will combine crash data with anonymous prevailing speed data from GPS-enabled devices. “For the first time, the Department will be able to look directly at prevailing operating speeds at a large scale to see how speed and speed differentials interact with roadway characteristics to influence the likelihood of crashes,” DOT states.
The issue of traffic safety is pertinent as traffic fatalities rise despite advances in car safety. Safety advocates often blame distracted driving brought on by more technology in the car — ironically this same technology will provide the data DOT ultimately hopes to use to keep people safe.
DOT, like many other federal agencies, collects a wealth of data on highway conditions, crashes and more. Utilizing this information can be a challenge for agencies, however, as Department of Health and Human Services Chief Data Officer Mona Siddiqui admitted when she spoke of her agency’s need for a streamline data sharing arrangement. With this new pilot, DOT is taking a step toward modernizing its relationship to data. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
ECOS is a soil amendment, that is, as defined, a material suitable to improve the chemical, physical and biological properties of soils. The election use is the soil incorporation, during the ordinary practice of mechanical processing. The product is not indicated for repotting. For transplant and repotting practise, is better to use other products of the Fertil assortment. Ecos is particularly rich in highly humified organic substance and has a high content of humic and fulvic acids. ECOS promotes the formation of a stable soil structure, improves aeration and ductility. The mineralization of the organic substance releases elements of fertility valuable for the plants nutrition. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Simulating carbon accumulation and loss in the central Congo peatlands
Peatlands of the central Congo Basin have accumulated carbon over millennia. They currently store some 29 billion tonnes of carbon in peat. However, our understanding of the controls on peat carbon accumulation and loss and the vulnerability of this stored carbon to climate change is in its infancy. Here we present a new model of tropical peatland development, DigiBog_Congo, that we use to simulate peat carbon accumulation and loss in a rain‐fed interfluvial peatland that began forming ~20,000 calendar years Before Present (cal. yr BP, where ‘present’ is 1950 CE). Overall, the simulated age‐depth curve is in good agreement with palaeoenvironmental reconstructions derived from a peat core at the same location as our model simulation. We find two key controls on long‐term peat accumulation: water at the peat surface (surface wetness) and the very slow anoxic decay of recalcitrant material. Our main simulation shows that between the Late Glacial and early Holocene there were several multidecadal periods where net peat and carbon gain alternated with net loss. Later, a climatic dry phase beginning ~5200 cal. yr BP caused the peatland to become a long‐term carbon source from ~3975 to 900 cal. yr BP. Peat as old as ~7000 cal. yr BP was decomposed before the peatland's surface became wetter again, suggesting that changes in rainfall alone were sufficient to cause a catastrophic loss of peat carbon lasting thousands of years. During this time, 6.4 m of the column of peat was lost, resulting in 57% of the simulated carbon stock being released. Our study provides an approach to understanding the future impact of climate change and potential land‐use change on this vulnerable store of carbon.

For some motive, all of us suppose we’re resistant to cyber-attacks and that such breaches will solely goal “others”. But, the fact is that cyber attackers, with their refined social engineering techniques, are greater than keen to show that perception incorrect, focusing on companies that contemplate themselves immune. Fortuitously, consciousness round cybersecurity is on the rise amongst small companies. It’s turning into clear that primary measures like worker coaching and short-term passwords are not adequate. Because of this, small companies at the moment are allocating particular budgets in direction of cybersecurity, establishing strong protection insurance policies that embrace third-party distributors, and embracing multi-factor authentication. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Asma Jilani Jahangir was an eminent lawyer and activist, who fought for the rights of women, children and religious minorities in Pakistan and co-founded the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan.
Asma was born in Lahore, Pakistan, on 27th January 1952. Her father, Malik Ghulam Jilani was a civil servant and politician who spent many years in jail for opposing the military dictatorship and denouncing the genocide in what is now Bangladesh. Her mother, Begum Sabiha Jilani was a businesswoman who pioneered her own clothing business.
Asma’s involvement in politics rooted back to her youth, where she became involved in protests against the military regime. After graduating with a B.A. and law degree from Kinnaird College, Lahore in 1978, she received an LLB from Punjab University in 1978. In 1980, she was called to the Lahore High Court, and in 1982 to the Supreme Court. Asma and her sister Hina Jilani, along with others, founded the first law firm established by women in Pakistan.
Asma was a staunch defender of vulnerable women and girls. In 1983, she represented Safia Bibi. Safia was a blind 13-year-old girl who had been raped by her employers and had fallen pregnant but had been charged with fornication and sentenced to flogging, 3 years imprisonment and a fine. Eventually, the case was successfully overruled on appeal.
In the 1980s, Asma became a prominent activist for democracy, forming the Women’s Action Forum (WAF) with her sister in 1981, which campaigned against Pakistan’s discriminatory legislation. She criticised the Hudood Ordinance and blasphemy laws, which added new criminal offences of adultery and made it difficult to prove accusations of rape. Consequently, women who came forward were being arrested for adultery themselves. Asma participated in a protest in 1983 against the proposed law of evidence stipulating that the value of a woman’s testimony was half that of a man. During the protest, Asma and others were tear-gassed, beaten by the police, and jailed.
Undeterred, Asma continued to campaign for human rights and her work started to gain global recognition for fairness and defending the most underprivileged. Along with her sister Hina Jilani, she set up the AGHS Legal Aid in 1986, the first free legal aid centre in Pakistan. In 1987, she co-founded the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan, a non-governmental organisation which promotes human rights and tracks violations. She later became its chairperson.
A fervent critic of religious intolerance, she was concerned by the politicisation of religion, saying in a lecture at LSE in 2017 “the law itself can become an instrument of persecution” when religion is brought into legislation, citing the blasphemy laws in Pakistan.
Asma and her family received numerous death threats throughout her career because of her work defending the most vulnerable and campaigning for human rights. In 1995, after winning a case at the Supreme Court a mob assaulted her, smashed her car and threatened her with death. In May 2005, Asma announced a mixed-gender marathon in Lahore to raise awareness of violence against women. Islamist groups violently opposed the race, and local police began to beat participants and stripped off Asma’s clothes in public, which she interpreted as an effort to humiliate her.
Asma served as the UN Special Rapporteur on Extrajudicial Executions from 1998 to 2004, and as the Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Religion and Belief 2004 to 2010. She also became Pakistan’s first woman to serve as the President of the Supreme Court Bar Association from 2010 – 2012. In 2016 she was appointed UN Special Rapporteur on the Situation of Human Rights in Iran.
Sadly, Asma died on the 11th February 2018 aged 66. She will be remembered for her unwavering defence of women’s rights and liberal democratic values in the face of challenging opposition.

Five Star Merchant Advocates was founded by entrepreneurs with over 60 years of combined experience launching and growing small and medium-sized businesses. Over the years, we noticed a recurring theme: small- and medium-sized business owners being squeezed for every penny. We decided to do something about it. It was our responsibility to balance the playing field.
That’s when we turned our attention to the credit card processing industry. We found most business owners don’t realize how much of their profits are being eaten up by credit card processing fees each month. We knew we could structure better deals that help business owners keep more of their hard-earned money.
At Five Star Merchant Advocates, we believe small business owners shouldn’t have to pay large fees to credit card companies. Contact us today and we’ll help you take control of your credit card processing fees.

Welcome to the EWOR Co-Founder Conversation Starter!
We have developed this tool to help you and your potential co-founder(s) determine if co-founding a start-up together is the right move for you.
In this questionnaire, you will find a range of questions on topics such as motivation, conflict resolution, and your definition of success. In total, you will encounter 7 pages with 4 to 7 questions each.
We recommend setting aside about 60–90 minutes to fill in the questionnaire. Many of the questions require some deep reflection and sidestepping your ego. Please be as honest and transparent as possible, and don’t try to write the answer you think your potential co-founder(s) might want to hear. Many start-ups fail because of co-founder conflicts, so let’s start your co-founder relationship off on the right foot - or not at all.
Once you've finished the questionnaire, we'll automatically create a report based on your responses and share it with you and your potential co-founders. These reports will be the foundation for your upcoming discussions.
But before we get started, let’s start with the basics. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

European formulas are free from harmful contaminants, providing a safer option for babies. Parents can have peace of mind knowing these products are designed with their baby's health and well-being in mind. The absence of artificial additives and contaminants like pesticides and heavy metals ensures the formula is pure and safe for consumption, reducing the risk of adverse health effects.
The hydrolyzed proteins in European hypoallergenic formulas are broken into smaller peptides, making them easier for babies to digest. This enhanced digestibility reduces the likelihood of digestive discomfort, such as gas, colic, and constipation, allowing babies to feel more comfortable and content after feedings. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
To provide educators with an example of how they can draw resources from FORRT’s educational nexus to integrate open scholarship into their teaching, FORRT has developed an Open and Reproducible Science 101 syllabus.
FORRT’s syllabus was developed as a seminar series covering 9 weeks of teaching. In an attempt to be comprehensive of the open scholarship literature, the syllabus builds on FORRT’s cluster framework. As such, the proposed topic for each week is one of FORRT’s clusters and its related literature. For each week, there are suggestions of core and additional readings. The syllabus is comprised of a series of assignments and proposed activities for students.
Importantly, this syllabus is not intended to be a “one size fits all” approach. While educators are welcomed to use this syllabus in its current format, they can also adapt it to meet their current courses and needs. We hope it can serve as starting point for your class.
FORRT’s Open and Reproducible Science Syllabus.
To further facilitate the creation, the updating, improvement, and maintenance of Open Science syllabi, we also curate a list of (possibly) useful other syllabi.
If you know of other syllabi not included in this collection, please consider adding it to our collections so that others can benefit from it too!

Evaluating feasibility of using 5G technology for satellite communication: During the spring of 2023, Magister Solutions executed a DVB/NR technology comparison project for Forsway. The objective was to compare the DVB-S2X/RCS2 and 5G NR-NTN technologies with each other in a geostationary satellite scenario.
Satellite communications developer Forsway continues working to provide access to underserved regions of the world, enabling connectivity by engineering for limitations in local infrastructure and product cost in line with performance.
The company announced June 14. A long-time investor with strong roots in Forsway, Jonsson previously served as managing director of the company. Jonsson takes over from Mats Andersson, who served as chairman for nine years.
Forsway today announced it will feature demonstrations of its Forsway Xtend Multicast FRM (Forsway Reliable Multicast) solution at CABSAT 2023, Dubai. Network agnostic, Forsway Xtend Multicast FRM can be run over virtually any IP network, including networks experiencing long outages.

Winners will be announced on March 14th during Satellite 2023 in D.C. at an awards luncheon featuring key-note Antonio Franchi, Head of the 5G and 6G Strategic Program at the European Space Agency - ESA (ESA), on “Next Decade Mobile Connectivity – Where Satellite and Cellular Converge". | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
I wonder if anyone using the newest driver, 10.9.1 with maya and have some unknown node left in maya 2025.3. To recreate this, open maya and save the file and reopen, there will be unknown node in the outline. When I roll back to 10.9 then that didn't happen, so I suspect it something created and left behind with the new driver.
It leaves this node in the Outliner "_UNKNOWN_REF_NODE_fosterParent1"and seems to be connected to another invisible node called "SpaceMousePivot1".
Deleting both then saving doesn't help because the next time I open the Maya file, both nodes return.
It's very annoying and I've rolled back to "3DxWare64_v10-8-20_r372" where this doesn't happen. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

This could apply to anyone who uses a wizard to install Addons. And of course, for those who run both Android and Openelec, the effect is doubled.
Running wizards and builds is useful for inexperienced users. My advice is, once you get familiar with Kodi, to choose your top ten favourite Addons and install only them.
Tvaddons recommend regular maintenance, clearing cache, packages, thumbnails etc, something you'll see advocated here frequently. They have their own maintenance tool which is good. See also the xunity tool and the maintenance section within Ares, which do similar things. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
