Modern luxury watches are filled with stunning complications ranging from simple date indications to brilliantly complex moonphases. Features like these – anything other than the ability to tell time – are collectively known as complications. Much more than simple adornments, they elevate the functionality of a watch and even have the ability to change the way we think about watches. For example, can a watch be a calendar? Yes! Thanks to the incredible complexity of the perpetual calendar, some watches will accurately display the day, date, month, and year for hundreds of years without ever needing correction. Incredible! With so many different types of complications available, it helps to understand each one. Join Feldmar as we take a journey to explore the fascinating world of watch complications.
For our first exploration, let’s check out a beloved and highly useful complication – the power reserve indication! What is a power reserve? Read on to learn more!
Understanding Power Reserves
The power reserve is a feature sometimes found on watch dials that indicates how long an automatic watch will run before fully winding down. When wound down, an automatic watch ceases to operate until it is rewound.
To understand power reserve indications, it’s important to know that automatic and mechanical watches – by their very design – wind down. In order to tell time and operate, the main spring must be wound tight. In automatic watches, this is simply done by wearing the watch. Your wrist’s motion helps spin the rotor which in turn, winds the main spring. A power reserve indicator on the watch’s dial will show just how much power is remaining before the spring winds down.
Knowing exactly how much “juice” your watch has can be useful if you don’t wear your watch everyday. For example, let’s say you have a watch with a 72 hour power reserve. If you take the watch off your wrist after work on Friday, you can put it back on before work on Monday and it will still accurately show the time. Incidentally, these watches are sometimes called “weekend-proof” for exactly this reason. Conversely, a watch with a 32-hour power reserve would wind down sometime during the weekend. If you picked it up Monday morning, it would not be running but after a quick winding either by hand or on the wrist and resetting the time, would function properly.
Early Days and Beginning
The power reserve was first used in chronometers used in maritime navigation, which John Harrison invented in 1730. Since it’s used for navigation in the high seas, accuracy was paramount in order to prevent maritime disasters. To maintain accuracy, the chronometer spring has to be wound up at all times so it was therefore also necessary to see just how much power remained. If the power level was too low, the chronometer would need to be wound up to maintain accuracy.
Power Reserves in Wristwatches
The first wristwatch with a power reserve was manufactured by Breguet in 1933. However, this was only a single variant. It wasn’t until the 1950s that Jaeger-LeCoultre manufactured wristwatches with power reserves in a series. In these watches, the power reserve was just 6 hours! Today, entry level movements typically offer no less than 32 hours while the world record for longest power reserve is held by the Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle Twin Beat Perpetual Calendar which can run for a staggering 65 days when fully wound.
Types of Power Reserve Indications
These simple complications come in a surprising array of designs. IWC is famous for incorporating clear and easy to read subdials while Zenith uses a simple line design incorporated into the dial of the Defy Extreme. Seiko has a signature style to their power reserve indications, using an easy to read arc design like the 72-hour reserve on the SNR049 Limited Edition. Finally, Blancpain uses a cleverly placed indication on the back of the Villeret Ultraplate!
A power reserve indication is a simple yet functional feature that adds character to a watch’s dial while enhancing its functionality. A simple glance at the indication will tell you just how much power remains in your watch and whether or not it is time to wind your watch again.

Curmudgucation: Can Rich Content Improve Education?
Modern high-stakes testing really kicked into gear with No Child Left Behind, and then got another huge boost with the advent of Common Core. All through that era, teachers pushed back against the fracturing of reading instruction, the idea that reading is a suite of discrete skills that can be taught independent of any particular content.
The pendulum has begun its swing back. Content knowledge is coming back into vogue, and while there are plenty of cognitive science-heavy explanations out there, the basic idea is easy to grasp. If you know a lot about dinosaurs, you have an easier time reading and comprehending a book about dinosaurs. If you are trying to sound out an unfamiliar word on the page, it’s easier if you already know the word by sound. If you learn and store new information by connecting it to information you already have banked, that process is easier if you actually have plenty of information already stored away.
Classroom teachers have known this. Some have argued that the Common Core acknowledged this (but did so in the appendix, none of which is tested material). And while much of the education reform crowd joined the “skills” push (one attempted catchphrase of the new SAT created under Common Core creator David Coleman was “skilled it”), some reformers never lost faith in the work of Ed Hirsch, Jr., who has himself stayed committed to the idea through his Core Knowledge Foundation.
So if we restore rich content to education and provide students with a wealth of background knowledge, will that revitalize education and fix some of the issues that have plagued us? Or will this, like the great skills revolution at the beginning of the century, turn out to be a terribly misguided idea?
Well, both. Hirsch’s 1983 book, Cultural Literacy: What Every American Needs To Know, underlines two of the potential pitfalls of rich content in education.
First, consider the subtitle–what every American needs to know. If we had every single American compile a list, what are the odds that any two would match? English teachers especially are familiar with the problems of an ever changing canon. Kate Chopin was once a somewhat obscure U.S. writer; she’s now solidly in the canon. Alfred, Lord Tennyson was beloved, then reviled, then beloved. Someone is always looking to kick Shakespeare out of the canon, even as others will fight for him with their last breath. And somewhere, someone is at this very moment getting ready to correct me on one or all of those last three sentences.
Agreeing in what should make the cut is, as all English teachers well know, an endless wrangling debate. Any discussion about loading up rich content knowledge for students will be accompanied by an endless argument about what content will be included–and I do mean endless. This is not to argue that the attempt should not be made–only to point out that if you insist that nothing will do other than your exact list, you will never get it done at all. Not only that, but the list that seemed sort of okay this year will need fixing next year.
Second, there is a danger in having a list, particularly if the list is generated by a large committee. A teacher has 180 teaching days, minus days spent testing, minus days spent practice testing, minus days lost to a school assembly, minus days lost to being randomly pulled from class for a conference, minus time lost for procedural things like handing out lockers. A really, really generous estimate of actual teaching days would be 160. So at the rate of one item of critical rich content background knowledge per day, we can hit 160 items. But there is no such thing as “rich” content that will be learned by a student in one day.
One of two things may happen. Your list of crucial background knowledge may be radically reduced to, say, thirty items. Or the teacher will spend the year racing through and checking off a list (”Students! Please look at the front screen. That’s a picture of Plato, an old dead smart Greek guy. He wrote some stuff about a cave. Boom! Moving on to our next unit now...”).
There’s a further danger that the speedy check-off list approach finds bureaucratic expression in a big standardized test used to judge and compare schools. Such a standardized test would be a bad way to assess the richness of student achievement and education–different from our current bad tests, but still bad, and still incentivizing teaching the test, rather than to the richness of the content (Question 1: Plato is associated with A. a cave B. a boat C. a nation or D. the trombone).
Nearly twenty years of test-driven top-down education reform has hollowed out too much of our education system. A rich content focus can reverse some of that damage, particularly by reversing the practice of pulling students out of history and science classes so that they can spend more of their day practicing reading skills (you may think that sounds nuts, but a principal in my old district regularly did it, and he was not an anomaly in the U.S.). Students could read full works of literature instead of excerpts of bad articles. Students could experience the fun and excitement of becoming knowledgeable experts on particular topics.
But it would be a mistake not to recognize that a content knowledge movement could be botched in ways that do new, different kinds of damage to the education system of this country. As the pendulum swings back, we need to be careful that it doesn’t become a wrecking ball.

Looking for some simple summer wellness tips?
We’ve got you covered.
Yes, your workforce may be ready to hit the road for multiple vacations and long weekends, but that doesn't mean it needs to disrupt your regular programming for wellness at work.
Keep employees excited about wellness by making it engaging and fun for them to focus on their health. Make summer's wellness campaigns all about connection, enjoyment and liveliness.
Read on for tips to share with your team and ideas to implement in your workplace this summer!
Summer Wellness Tips for Your Team to Keep in Mind
Ready for summer already? While it’s a glorious time of year, there are some health hazards to keep in mind, too. Don’t let the carefree, dog-days of summer get the best of you. Play it smart and you can have fun while also staying healthy, too.
Here’s a little checklist to keep your health in check this summer:
Eat Summer Foods
Not only does eating seasonally mean you’re enjoying the best nutrients produce has to offer, but it also can be purchased directly from a local farm — an economic and environmental perk. Enjoy foods like garlic, radishes, arugula, carrots, bell peppers, and beets in the summer
If you’re traveling this summer, keep an eye on the news. Watch if the area you plan to go to is experiencing issues that would impact your health and ruin your trip. COVID-19 outbreaks could increase your risk of getting it, for example. Or, if an area is dry and is experiencing excessive wildfires, the air quality is often impacted. Watch for local advisories from the health department and other entities before traveling.
Stay Out of Intense Heat
Summer heat waves are common throughout the country during the hottest months of the year. If you’re planning to spend time outdoors, ensure you’re staying hydrated and in the shade, if possible. Heat-related illnesses, known as hyperthermia, can cause issues like muscle cramps, nausea, confusion, slurred speech, rashes, dizziness, and worse. Heat illnesses can range from mild to deadly. Knowing the signs and staying inside in the heat of the midday can help you avoid serious heat-related issues.

Have a Backup Workout Plan
With temperatures rising and the beautiful outdoors beckoning, workouts outdoors can look a lot more appealing after too many dreadful runs on an indoor treadmill. If the weather gets above 90 degrees on the heat index, switch your workout to one indoors to reduce the risk of heat illness.
Spend Time Relaxing
While it’s good to chill on a regular basis, be sure to do it this summer especially. After a few summers of lockdowns and travel restrictions, make some fun plans to let loose and relax. You’ll do your health a favor: Research shows those who relax have lower heart rates, less stress, and reduced symptoms of issues like anxiety and depression.
Sunglasses aren’t just a fashion statement; they actually are useful in preventing serious eye conditions. Wear UV sunglasses to protect your eyes from excessive UV radiation, which can cause issues like cataracts and macular degeneration, according to eye experts.
Skip Dehydrating Drinks
Dehydration can happen to the body any time, but it’s much more common in summer when you’re more likely to be outdoors enjoying different activities. It happens when we sweat and lose fluids and those fluids aren’t replaced. Drink plenty of water; for optimal hydration, skip caffeinated or alcoholic beverages.
Keep Sunscreen and Bug Spray on Hand
Both sunscreen and bug spray are essential summer must-haves when enjoying the great outdoors. Sunscreen will keep your skin from getting burned (and reduce wrinkle risk!) and bug spray keeps away pesky insects like ticks, fleas, and mosquitos, which can carry dangerous diseases. When using both, apply repellent after sunscreen is applied. Once you’re back inside for the day, it’s a good idea to rinse off to get rid of the residue on your skin.
Keep Your Team Engaged in Wellness This Summer
Even if your team members are in and out of the workplace all summer, it’s still important to offer wellness reminders. Pass out the above summer wellness tips and have discussions surrounding smart summertime health choices.
Additionally, summer is a perfect time for team-building activities and to incorporate more fun in the workplace that also has a wellness vibe to it.
Below are some ideas to keep your team engaged in wellness all summer long:
- Have team BBQs - Barbecues are always a big hit. Make it even more fun by holding a contest to see who can incorporate the most healthy ingredients into a potluck dish. Invite family members, too, to add a healthy dose of camaraderie and connection.
- Explore healthy fruit-based desserts - Summertime is a great time to enjoy local produce and all that summer’s bounty has to offer. Have a dessert day that incorporates seasonal fruits as the base. Think cherries, blackberries, nectarines, plums, and any other fruit grown locally.
- Enjoy outdoor fitness challenges - Summertime = sweaty time. Summer is an ideal time to get outdoors and workout together as a team. Whether you opt for a steps challenge or a couch to 5k or something in-between, add even more excitement with giveaways of wellness-themed items.
- Explore a local farmers market - Have a farmer’s market nearby work? Head out for a little field trip. Learn together what foods are local to your area and the best ways to enjoy the foods with advice straight from the grower.
- Cook a meal with local food together - If you take a farmer’s market field trip together, come back and create a healthy food spread. From charcuterie boards to fruit salads and green salads to green-based juices, your team can get creative with a healthy lunch made by them.
- Start a water bar - Hydration is essential during the summer when skyrocketing heat indexes make it easier to get dehydrated. Set up a water bar in the workplace with fruit-infused water for your team to enjoy. Add fruits like sliced up strawberries and lime, blackberries, or even cucumbers for a refreshing change.
As you can see from the list above, you can keep summer wellness simple yet exciting without much planning at all. That’s what summer is about after all: relaxing and enjoying life as much as possible. Use these summer wellness tips to help your team enjoy this season safely and healthily!

Just released in the Journal of Pre-Hospital Emergency Care:
As more and more research presents on the previously perceived validity of the “Golden Hour” of trauma, this research article provides opportunities to consider a balanced approach of critical interventions versus a purely “load and go” approach. After many years of research showing reduced scene times are the defining factor, much of what is happening with advanced critical interventions with programs such as London HEMS and others, there seems to be a new trend toward advanced practitioners being the defining factor. This is something that we need to watch closely and participate in further research.
An example of an important question; Would advanced critical care practitioners in rural environments capable of treating severely life threatening conditions in the absence of a local trauma centre be better than rapid transport alone to a local emergency department? Recent Helicopter EMS (HEMS) studies have shown that advanced practitioners are perhaps the defining factor in those that are survivable and have not already declare themselves unviable.
Does this support the direction for the future of paramedic practice in British Columbia?
Quote from the study offers some thoughts:
“Our finding of an association between longer on-scene times and longer LOS in those who survived at least 30-days could be attributed to these patients being those who had their immediate life threats corrected in the additional time spent on-scene and thus were less
likely to die.”
Objective: To determine the association between prehospital time and outcomes in adult major trauma patients, transported by ambulance paramedics.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study of major trauma patients (Injury Severity Score >15) attended by St John Ambulance paramedics in Perth, Western Australia, who were transported to hospital between 1st January 2013 and 31st December 2016. Inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) using the propensity score was performed to limit selection bias and confounding. The primary outcome was 30-day mortality and the secondary outcome was the length of hospital stay (LOS) for 30-day survivors. Multivariate logistic and log-linear regression analyses with IPTW were used to determine if prehospital time of more than the one hour (from receipt of the emergency call to arrival at hospital) or any individual prehospital time interval (response, on-scene, transport or total time) was associated with 30-day mortality or LOS.
Results: A total of 1,625 major trauma patients were included and 1,553 included in the IPTW sample. No significant association between prehospital time of one hour and 30-day mortality was found (adjusted odds ratio 1.10, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.71-1.69). No association between any individual prehospital time interval and 30-day mortality was identified. In the 30-day survivors, one-minute increase of on-scene time was associated with 1.16 times (95% CI 1.03-1.31) longer LOS.
Conclusion: Longer prehospital times were not associated with an increased likelihood of 30-day mortality in major trauma patients transported to hospital by ambulance paramedics. We found no evidence to support the hypothesis that prehospital time longer than one hour resulted in an increased risk of 30-day mortality. However, longer on-scene time was associated with longer hospital LOS (for 30-day survivors). Our recommendation is that prehospital care is delivered in a timely fashion and delivery of the patient to hospital is reasonably prompt.

Clay In Action
COE is a contemporary Art-studio & Store focused on ceramics. We offer our clients a mindful space where they can purchase and learn pottery and participate in our exclusive workshops.
We want to elevate the experience of pottery through a uniquely designed studio giving our customers a fun space where they can express themselves and unwind from their daily routines.
Our aim is to deconstruct the idea of an art studio and create a space to free the mind and explore creativity giving our clients the finest materials to sculpt their ideas.
Our introductory session is a brilliant way to get a feel for working with clay on the wheel, a practice which is known as “throwing”.
Each participant will have their own wheel and be carefully taught through the process by an expert tutor. Whether you book for yourself or a group of friends, this is a wonderfully social and spirited introduction to the joys of throwing.
You will learn how to centre (secure the clay on the wheel) and throw (pulling up the walls of the clay into a cylinder). This is an uplifting, inspiring experience.
In the TASTER session you will throw 1 pot and we will bisque fire your piece within 3-4 weeks accordingly to our firing schedule.
Hands on glaze workshop! During this class we will demonstrate ways to layer, map, and apply glazes or underglazes to bring your cup to the next level.
You will work with wet clay, followed by learning to trim and shape the semi- dried (leather hard) clay. After the piece has gone through its first kiln firing, you will learn surface decoration methods. Our final class is a glaze session and potluck where we celebrate what we have made and finish glazing the pieces you’ve made through out your sessions.

Plutarch is more real, and more in Earnest: He teaches Virtue with the greatest Simplicity imaginable, by the just Recital, and Commendation of virtuous Actions. Pliny, tho' a profess’d Libertine, yet in his Prefaces to his Book of natural History, has fome very bright and forcible Strokes of Morality.

him. He really aims at the Reformation of vni ani. Manners, when he inveighs with so much Heat mantium bomini

The Doctrine preach'd by the Apostles, and their Successors, which alone could teach Men to be humble under Greatness, and modest under good Success, together with all that strictness of Probity, profelš’d and practis'd in the Church, appear'd so admirable in the Eyes of the Pagan Instructors, that by striving to imitate and rival the Christian Vertue, they fell into the utmost Extravagance; going so far out of their Character, and beyond the Limits of that secular Wisdom, whose Maxims they had avow'd. All their Vertue degenerated into Oftentation ; all their Wifdom spent it self in empty Boasts and ungrounded Pretensions : And as Cowardice fometimes makes a Man bold, fo Vanity sometimes made an Heathen vertuous. The Life of Apollonius, so fraught with Prodigies, was written by Philoftratus, with no other Intention, bụt to oppose it to the Life and Miracles of our Saviour: As the Lives of the Sophifts by Eunapius, who flourish'd under Theodosius the Great, were design'd to vie with those of the first Believers, and by that Means to overthrow the Doctrines of the Gospel. Vopiscus attempted somewhat of the like kind, in imitation of Eunapius. And long before them, Epictetus, who by his Converse with the Christians, had abated very much of the Pride of Zeno's School, began that Spirit of Emulation, which reviv'd the moral Doctrine of the Stoicks, under the Reigns of the Antonini; for then most of the Philosophers joyn'd themselves to this plures fria Tribe, as Sextus Empiricus informs us : And the isse tum Reason of their Choice was, that they might qui Sicicounterfeit the Christian Severity, by the unna
corum Sed tural and Itrain'd Gravity of the Porch, fit only Harentur,
am sequàm qui aliam quamcunque.

A species of deer-like ungulate that was thought lost to science has been discovered living in the wild in Vietnam, reports a study in Nature Ecology & Evolution. Previously, the last known record of the silver-backed chevrotain was a hunter-killed specimen from 1990, but researchers have now photographed the species alive for the first time in 30 years.
The Greater Annamites Ecoregion of Vietnam and Lao People's Democratic Republic is one of the most ecologically diverse regions in the world. In 1910, a species of mouse-deer called the silver-backed chevrotain (Tragulus versicolor) was first described, based on specimens obtained near the city of Nha Trang, Vietnam. However, since 1990, no scientifically validated sightings have been confirmed, and it was feared that high levels of snare hunting in the region may have pushed this species to the brink of extinction.
An Nguyen and colleagues conducted interviews with local people in three Vietnamese provinces to identify chevrotain sightings consistent with descriptions of the silver-backed chevrotain in an effort to locate the species. They then used this local knowledge to place more than 30 motion-activated camera traps within a nearby forested habitat.
Following six months of camera-trapping, the authors identified more than 200 independent detections of the silver-backed chevrotain, although the number of distinct individuals this represents is unknown. The authors conclude that although the species can be thought of as ‘rediscovered’ to science, the local surveys indicate that this species has not been considered lost among the people of this region.
The authors suggest that more intensive surveys and engagement with local communities are needed to establish the size of the population, and to ensure that efforts are stepped up to help conserve the species.

Speech is produced by articulating speech organs such as the jaw, tongue, and lips. We have developed an articulatory-based speech synthesis model that converts a phoneme string into a continuous acoustic signal by mimicing the human speech production process. This paper describes a computational model of the speech production process which involves a motor process to generate articulatory movements from the motor task sequence and articulatory-to-acoustic mapping to determine the vocal-tract acoustic characteristics. † NTT Basic Research Laboratories.

In our travels, we’ve both come across Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) as a way to set good research objectives and make sure everyone in a research team can see what we are aiming towards.
OKRs offer a simple – but effective – framework for developing objectives. Originally devised by John Doerr
and largely adopted in the tech industry, OKRs aren’t commonly or widely used in research. But we’re experimenting with them in our own research, and think they might be useful.
Simply, OKRs have two components.
the Objectives: a broad and high-level target or goal. A thing you want to do.
the Key Results: specific tasks, outcomes or outputs that’ll let you know you’re hitting your objective and doing the thing you want to do.
Let’s say you want to do some research to understand what effect of a new local library policy.
One objective might be:
- Obj 1: Understand how the new policy has affected local people’s access to courses, training and resources.
Your key results that correspond to that objective might be:
- KR1.1: Gather quantitative data about how often resources were used before and after the policy change and identify any changes.
- KR1.2: Conduct 20 interviews with local people about their use of resources and how the policy will affect that.
Note two things about our hypothetical example. Firstly, the objective sounds an awful lot like a research question. That’s intentional as, largely, your objective should be to answer your research questions.
But setting your questions out as objectives is a useful mental exercise that a) forces you to frame the question as a task you’ll carry out and b) helps you think through your questions in a new light to ensure they’re the right things to ask. If your question can’t easily be turned into an objective, or looks a little pointless or directionless when turned into an objective, you might want to rethink it.
Secondly, this example doesn’t get to the impact of the research, and you should reserve one or two objectives to focus on that. Why does the research matter? Who do you want to read the research? What will they do with it?
This might translate into an objective about getting the library managers to read the research and change their policy to improve access for local people. The key results might be publishing a report, hosting a workshop and sharing your data with library staff.
Ok, that’s what OKRs are. Next, putting them into practice.

- Operations to restore the functionality of the hands after hand injuries.
- For degenerative hand conditions, including compression of neurovascular structures.
For the majority of the day to day tasks you would require your hands. Tasks like writing a cheque, zipping your cloth, and even eating are all dependent on hand function. In the event of damage to your hand, you are rendered disabled in doing these formerly easy tasks.
What are the most common hand injuries and conditions?
Events like a fall with an outstretched hand, a workplace accident, or even while you are engaging in sporting activities, injuries to the tendons, joints, or even ligaments around the hand region can result in significant impact on functionality.
The possible medical diagnoses include:
- Carpel tunnel syndrome
- Trigger finger
- Tumours of the hand
- Dupuytren’s contracture
- Arthritis of the elbow, wrist, or hand region
- Other nerve compression syndromes
- Hand conditions associated with congenital disabilities and lag in child development.
What type of hand surgeries are performed?
There are varying surgical procedures involved in hand surgery treatment plans. Surgery could be offered on an outpatient basis where the affected individual is admitted into the hospital facility or require local anaesthetics to ensure the patient can’t feel pain similar to the ones dentists use in filling cavities in teeth. These surgeries can last for an average of between 20-30 minutes. Some of these hand surgeries would require an instrument known as an endoscope, which gives an inside view of the damaged structures using a camera after a small incision around the area has been made.
Below are the common conditions which require hand surgery:
Carpal tunnel syndrome: The surgeon would remove the ligament that forms the roof of the carpal tunnel, which serves as a conduit for some neurovascular structures. This effectively reduces the pressure that results in median nerve compression. The wrist is affected, and the finger region since the tendons of the hand muscles lying deep in the tunnel flexes the fingers too.
Dupuytren’s contracture: A gradual hardening of the soft tissue in the palm and fingers keeps them straight and is difficult to flex. Dividing the bands wrapped around the tendons of this region alleviates the condition.
Trigger finger: This condition is characterized by a perpetual bent to the finger in a flexed position. When you try to relax the muscles around the region, it becomes very painful. This constant pain results from the hardening of the tendons that assist in flexing the muscles in that particular region. They sometimes may or may not be accompanied by trauma.
Hand conditions involving the joints around the hand, wrist, or elbow like arthritis would require quite complex surgical procedures such as a joint fusion and replacement or even a complex rebuilding of the whole joint. The technique to be used would be determined by the extent of damage.
What does it take to recover from hand surgery?
Some hand surgeries can be minor and uncomplicated and wouldn’t demand a long recovery.
Some surgeries can bring immediate comfort, such as a typical carpal tunnel syndrome case. But, in events where the region of pain in hand is incised, that part would need to heal, and the tissues regrow. This particular kind of invasive surgery could take some weeks running even to several months, all dependent on the patient. In some cases, an occupational physiotherapist or a specialist in hand therapy would be required to ensure your hands get back their normal grasping capabilities in good time. In all, the nature of the surgery is the ultimate determinant of the time of healing and recovery.

Cubic Boron Nitride CBN and Synthetic Diamond Powders for Industrial
The difference of abrasive grains lies in manufacturing. One is composed of natural particles, such as quartz corundum, emery, garnet sand and natural diamond; The other is made up of artificial particles such as synthetic corundum, silicon carbide, chromium oxide, boron carbide(B4C), cubic boron nitride (CBN) and synthetic diamond powders. Boron carbide B4C is one of the three hardest materials known and the other two are synthetic diamond and CBN. Let's firstly take a look at CBN and synthetic diamond.
CBN is the second hardest material known except diamond, which can only be used as abrasive grains when it is in the shape of cubic crystal. It is artificially synthesized from natural hexagonal boron nitride crystals and usually used with resin or ceramics. It is high temperature resistant, up to 1300°C. When the temperature exceeds 730°C, it will become harder than diamonds, mainly used to grind hard unhardened steel, such as high-speed steel and hot - cold die steel, but not suitable for grinding soft steel, hard alloy, non-ferrous metals, chromium, nickel coatings and non-metals.
Almost all the diamonds used in modern industry are synthetic diamonds. In some special applications, its characteristics such as hardness and geometrical shape are better than natural diamonds. Although the diamond is the hardest material, the highest heat resistance can only reach 800°C. Therefore, its applications are limited.
Diamond mesh/micron powder is one of important materials for making diamond tools, grinding tools, polishing paste...and diamond materials are mainly used for fine grinding of the following materials: hard alloy, grey cast iron, glass, ceramics, porcelain, fire prevention stone, germanium, graphite, cutting ceramics, silicon, rubber, non-ferrous metals, cementite alloy, nickel and chromium alloy, bearing steel and tool steel with high carbon low vanadium.

Antigua & Barbuda Joins Global Campaign Against Plastic Pollution
Wednesday 5th December, 2018-Antigua and Barbuda is among several countries leading the charge in the global campaign against plastic pollution.
The campaign was launched at the United Nations yesterday and includes Norway and the United Nations Environmental Programme.
Prime Minister Gaston Browne told reporters in New York on Tuesday of the strides his government has made in eliminating single use plastic and Styrofoam and expressed the hope that the decision of his government will serve as an example to other nations.
Several activities have been planned to promote the campaign, including a concert as announced by Prime Minister Browne.
UN General Assembly President María Fernanda Espinosa says combating plastic pollution requires urgent attention and reiterated that if action is not taken, there will be dire consequences.
Meantime, Norway’s Deputy Permanent Representative. Mari Skare says her country is pleased to be associated with the campaign. Despite the bleak forecast, the diplomat stated that there are solutions to the growing problem.

If you look at a die photo of a 6502, about forty percent of the chip is taken up by what's obviously microcode, both by its regular structure and by the obvious need for such from the instruction set, which has some relatively long instructions that need to do half a dozen things in exact sequence.
But it's not a ROM; as explained in the answer to How was microcode implemented in retro processors? it's actually a PLA, which differs from ROM in that it "allows partial decoding, one entry can fire on different instructions. For example, all instructions loading the second byte as immediate share one single PLA entry (microcode line). In comparison with textbook microcode engines, this is equivalent to a kind of compressed microcode."
Such compression is obviously useful. Die space is expensive; reducing the space taken up by microcode means you can make the chip cheaper, or spend the space adding more features, more performance or some combination thereof.
As I understand it, later chips like the 8086 and 68000 use microcode of the conventional ROM variety.
Why did later chips not also use PLA's and thereby gain the advantages of compressed microcode?

“I think statutes that allow presidents or heads of state to invoke emergencies are very, 매우 위험한,” said Paul during an episode of the BASED Politics podcast that aired Sunday. “We have the same sort of statutes here, and I have long-time been an opponent of these. We actually have in the United States an Emergency Act that allows the president to shut down the internet.”
Several Canadian civil liberties groups have also spoken out against Trudeau after he invoked the Emergencies Act to cut off funding for “Freedom Convoy” truckers, freeze their bank accounts and crack down on the lingering demonstrations in Ottawa. The trucker protest has been largely cleared from the Canadian capital, but Trudeau has not yet relaxed the state of emergency.
Paul explained how he failed in his attempt to corral anti-Trump Democrats into an alliance with libertarian-leaning Republicans to strike down such emergency power legislation during the Trump administration.
“[이것의.] Mike Lee had some reforms that he put forward on the Emergency Act, and it’s something we should look at, because these things go on and on,” Paul continued. “There are some emergencies in the U.S. that have been going on for many, 수십 년. And the president can just renew them every year. There’s no real stopping him.”
Paul pointed out how he tweeted on Feb. 16 that Canada had become Egypt, where Paul said President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi has repeatedly extended emergency powers and arbitrarily detained people.
“And so the emergency edict that Trudeau has done in Canada allows him to do some horrendous things, allows him to stop travel allows him to detain people without trial. Now we don’t know that he’s going to do that, but it is very, very worrisome what he might do,” Paul added.
The Canadian Civil Liberties Association said the truckers’ protests did not meet the standard for Trudeau to have invoked the Emergencies Act, which exists for “the ability of the Government of Canada to preserve the sovereignty, security and territorial integrity of Canada” and only for actions that “cannot be effectively dealt with under any other law of Canada.”

Residential Irrigation System Problems Can Easily Cause Collateral Damage
Many homes in and around Phoenix include automatic irrigation systems that help keep plants healthy and looking vibrant. While that can make life a lot easier, owning an irrigation system can also lead to some problems.
Keeping up with sprinkler repair in phoenix is the best way to avoid all of these, and homeowners who are in any way negligent in this respect will generally come to regret it. Allowing any type of problem with an irrigation system to fester without attention will almost always be a bad idea.
The Costs of Sprinkler Problems Often Add Up Quickly
A well maintained sprinkler or drip system should normally be nothing but an asset for the property which it serves. Unfortunately, a system that breaks down and is not fixed quickly can cause a lot of related trouble.
Phoenix sprinkler repair experts, however, will always be able to resolve any problems that crop up and prevent collateral damage. Some of the kinds of issues that can be avoided by calling for help right away include:
Wasted water. A relatively modest leak can cause a surprising amount of water to be wasted over time. Given how precious water is in the Phoenix area, any sprinkler system leak that appears should always be addressed right away. Homeowners who fail to take action quickly can find themselves facing far larger water bills than usual. That will be both unpleasant to confront in its own right and also a reflection of the harm that was done in general.
Unhealthy plants. Temperatures in Phoenix regularly rise during the summertime to 110 degrees or higher. The intense sun that generates so much heat does so by shining down through atmospheric air that is generally quite dry. Only plants that are specialized to live in such conditions can hope to endure them for long without support. A sprinkler valve replacement or drip system emitter repair can be just what is needed to keep grass, shrubs, trees, and other plants healthy at all times.
Property damage. A damaged sprinkler or other irrigation system that is not fixed quickly can actually cause damage to a property, as well. Underground leaks can hollow out expensive landscaping from below, eventually leading to its collapse. Sprinklers and drip systems that are not functioning as intended can erode the surrounding earth from above.
Immediate Action is Always the Best Bet
Arranging for a sprinkler or drip system repair as soon as a problem develops will make subsequent issues like these a lot less likely. In just about every case, local experts will be able to prevent any additional damage from cropping up.

Contributing Editor, Main Street Monday
Main Street Monday – SBA Reports Impressive Lending Stats for African American Women-Owned Businesses in 2019
Since its inception, the SBA 7(a) Lending Program has approved 1,412 loans, totaling $334.1 million, to African American women-owned businesses. Additionally, loans to African American women-owned businesses have increased by 5% and have seen an almost 30% gain in dollar value between fiscal years 2018-2019.
These statistics point towards a positive outlook for the future of African American women-owned businesses, as they represent one of the fastest-growing segments of the nation’s small businesses. Using SBA loans as a means to start or grow their businesses, black female entrepreneurs are helping the SBA achieve double-digit increases in loan approvals in this market segment.
More Impressive Statistics
- Through September 2019, the SBA approved 1,192 in combined 7(a) and 504 loans for $740 million to women-owned businesses, representing an increase of 9% in the number of loans and a 7% rise in dollar volume from the same reporting period in 2018.
- The SBA approved more than $19.6 million in loans to black-owned businesses in 2019, up 17% in dollar volume from 2018, and an impressive rise of 34% from 2017.
- The SBA approved $20 million+ in microloans (average loan amount of $15,000 or less) to black-owned businesses in 2019. These stats represent an increase of 19% in dollar volume from FY 2018, and a rise of 36% from FY 2017.
According to Bill Manger, the SBA’s Associate Administrator for the Office of Capital Access, the 504 Loan Program has reached an increase of 10% in total loan dollars to women-owned businesses in the last year alone. Manger notes that the SBA is seeing many more women, including an increase in African American women, seeking loan capital to start or grow a business.
“These are trends we’ve seen in the past couple of years that didn’t exist five years ago,” says Manger. He attributes these positive SBA lending trends to factors including a strong economy, record-low African American unemployment rates, low banking interest rates and an overall positive, optimistic outlook regarding the economy.

With so many fabric options available today, it can be hard to decide which is the best material for your next garment. Tencel and silk are two of the most popular choices, but which is better? Both materials have their own benefits and drawbacks, so it’s important to consider what you need before making a decision.
While both silk and Tencel have their own unique benefits, Tencel is the better choice for those looking for a sustainable fabric that is gentle on the skin. Tencel is also a good option for those with allergies, as it is hypoallergenic. Silk, while a luxurious fabric, is not as environmentally friendly or allergy-friendly as Tencel.
Let’s take a deep dive:
Is Tencel same as silk?
There is some confusion about the similarities and differences between Tencel and silk. Both materials are made from natural fibers, but they come from different sources. Silk is made from the cocoons of silkworms, while Tencel is made from wood pulp.
Tencel fibers are made up of nano-fibers that make them super smooth. They also have a higher absorbency than silk.
Tencel is more durable than silk. It’s also a soft material that makes you feel like you’re sinking in butter.
What is Tencel?
Tencel is a sustainable fabric made from wood pulp. It is a natural and biodegradable fiber that is soft, strong and absorbent. Tencel is often used in eco-friendly clothing and bedding.
Tencel is a type of rayon made from the cellulose of eucalyptus trees. The process of creating Tencel lyocell is sustainable, as the whole process helps keep forests intact and reduces pollution. Tencel sheets can cost over $100 for a single set. However, you may find comfort in knowing that your purchase does not contribute to environmental degradation or animal suffering.
What is silk?
Silk is a natural fiber that is made from the cocoon of the silkworm. The fiber is incredibly strong and lustrous, making it a popular choice for clothing, bedding, and other textiles.
Sadly, silk worms are killed in order to extract the fiber, which is then woven into fabric. Silk has been used for centuries and people have tried to make the killing of these worms more humane. Unfortunately, the extraction process and end result still hasn’t changed.
Many people view silk as a luxurious material, and it often commands a high price tag. However, the environmental cost of producing silk exceeds its value as a luxury item.
There are alternatives to silk that have similar properties but do not involve harming animals. Tencel is one such alternative, and it is made from sustainable materials using a closed loop process that recycles 99.9% of the water and organic solvents used in production.
How are Tencel and silk different?
Silk has been around for centuries, while Tencel was only developed in the 1990s.
Tencel is a sustainable fabric made from wood pulp, whereas silk is made from the cocoons of silkworms. Silk is a natural fiber, whereas Tencel is a semi-synthetic fiber. Silk is silkier than Tencel, and Tencel is more wrinkle-resistant than silk.
Silk can be expensive to produce, which accounts for its high price tag. Tencel is also a luxury fabric, but it is softer and more absorbent than silk. It also costs less to produce than silk does.
Tencel also requires less energy to produce than silk does, making it an all around more sustainable choice.
What are the benefits of using Tencel?
Some benefits of using Tencel include:
- It is a sustainable fabric made from wood pulp.
- It’s biodegradable.
- Cool to the touch. The cooling effect of Tencel sheets can help you relax and drift off to sleep easily.
- It’s absorbent.
- It’s wrinkle resistant, making it perfect travel clothing.
- It’s hypoallergenic – ideal for people with allergies or sensitivities.
What are the benefits of using silk?
There are many benefits to using silk pillowcases and sheets. Silk is lightweight, so it won’t cause your head and neck to get too hot during sleep. It’s also breathable, which helps keep you cool throughout the night. Additionally, silk is non-irritating, meaning it won’t cause any skin irritation or eczema breakouts.
Silk has been shown to be beneficial for people with eczema. The smooth surface of silk prevents the overgrowth of bacteria on the skin, which can lead to inflammation, irritation, and eczema breakouts. Silk is also less likely to irritate the skin of people with eczema.
Which one is better: Tencel or silk?
When it comes to the physical properties of Tencel and silk, it can be tough to decide which one is better. They are both incredibly smooth and feel great against the skin! Ultimately, it comes down to personal preferences in terms of texture and feel.
However, when it comes to the environmental impact, Tencel is infinitely better than silk. Read more about why Tencel is the most eco-friendly fiber on the market today.
Tencel is also cheaper than silk and has a host of other great qualities that silk doesn’t have.
To wrap up
Tencel is a better fabric choice than silk for a variety of reasons. Tencel is more absorbent, softer, and less likely to cause skin irritation than silk. Additionally, Tencel is a more environmentally friendly choice, as it is made from sustainably sourced wood pulp. For these reasons, tencel should be your go-to fabric choice.

International Overdose Awareness Day is a global event on August 31st that aims to raise awareness of overdose and reduce the stigma associated with substance use and drug-related deaths.
In 2019, AMK hosted an event at Riverside Park in Kamloops in recognition of this day welcoming community members, community partners, leaders in the field of health care and substance use and individuals and families with lived experience of substance use to share and grieve.
In addition, AMK facilitated the debut screening of the Photo Voice video, exhibited the Photo Voice project and unveiled the Mom’s Stop the Harm Memorial bench.
In 2021, AMK brought the community together again for an in-person gathering for International Overdose Awareness day. This time, 350 people joined AMK at McDonald park to remember, without stigma, those who have died and acknowledge the profound grief of the family and friends left behind. Event activities included: Naloxone and harm reduction education, poetry, hand drumming, food, art and a live streaming of the International Overdose Awareness day events from Victoria, BC.
As a way to mark the 5 year anniversary of the Declaration of the Overdose Public Health Emergency in BC, Addiction Matters Kamloops, in collaboration with Moms Stop the Harm hosted a walk-by shoe memorial titled "Lost Souls- Gone Too Soon."
With BC recording more than 7000 deaths from illicit drug overdoses since declaring a public health emergency in 2016 Addiction Matters Kamloops wanted to illustrate the profound and lasting impacts of this emergency.
In the midst of the ongoing overdose crisis, the Addiction Matters Kamloops Coalition (AMK) partnered with Exposure Photography and the Kamloops Arts Council to bring art to life with the Photo Voice project: Exposed.
Through this project, AMK offered individuals and families with lived experience of substance use an opportunity to share their personal experiences of substance use and stigma through photos; helping others see the world through their eyes. The final project was open to the public at a gala event attended by close to 300 people in Kamloops.
In response to the overwhelmingly positive response and continual requests to showcase this work, the Photo Voice project has been displayed at various conferences and community events and has been used to elicit meaningful dialogue and discussion.
AMK would like to acknowledge the Canadian Institute for Substance use Research and Interior Health for their generous support. In addition, AMK sincerely thanks the individuals and families who had the courage to tell their stories.
In follow up from the success of the Photo Voice project, Interior Health worked in collaboration with Joy Factory productions to develop an anti-stigma video highlighting a range of stories and perspectives from the larger Photo Voice project. The resulting video is now used in core substance use foundations training in Interior Health and has been shared at events and with groups to facilitate discussion and raise awareness about the stigma associated with substance use.
In partnership with Mom’s Stop the Harm, the Addiction Matters Kamloops Coalition worked to support the establishment of a memorial bench in the heart of downtown Kamloops, at Riverside Park. The bench offers a place of hope to those that are still searching for recovery and a dedicated space for family and friends to gather, remember and reflect. On August 31, 2019 AMK hosted an official unveiling and community event as a part of International Overdose Awareness day that brought together almost 200 attendees who shared stories and offered support.
The Addiction Matters Kamloops coalition supported the sold-out performance of Illicit at the Stage House theatre on July 18, 2018.
Illicit is a community-engaged arts-based research project from the Drug User’s Resource Centre (DURC) of the PHS Community Services Society, a non-profit that provides housing, healthcare, harm reduction and health promotion. DURC, which is dedicated to the rights of people who use drugs and alcohol, is a hub of arts and culture built by and for the people in this community.
Illicit illuminates the stories of the people who have made DURC what it is: a place of meaning, belonging, and hope. The project imaginatively explores harm reduction, drug policy and the life on the margins through writing, movement, music, theatre and visual art. As a compelling work of performance art, Illicit aims to viscerally and emotionally draw the wider public into DURC’s world.
The Addiction Matters Kamloops (AMK) coalition supported the Rural and Indigenous Overdose Action Exchange that was held in Kamloops in October 2019. AMK displayed the photo voice project at the opening reception and the photos were featured in the final report of the exchange.
The Addiction Matters Kamloops (AMK) coalition was formed in 2015 on the ancestral, traditional and unceded territory of the Secwepemc people to bring together community groups, organizations and individuals who are working in the field of substance use and are committed to increasing compassion and awareness and ending the stigma directed to individuals and families impacted by substance use. Since its start, AMK has lead various community projects and engagement initiatives and continues to be committed to supporting community level coordination and collaboration.

When Uber and Lyft invaded the taxi industry, Turbotax disrupted the tax industry, and Amazon disrupted retail, delivery, and many other industries, many denied their risk.
The robots are coming for financial advisors. We should try to manage risk, even embrace it. Disruption will happen, but it is survivable for those who adapt. The personal touch is what taxi drivers and tax advisors claimed would save them. It helps, but don’t feel safe.
How do we survive the robots? With some teamwork. There are many calls for regulating the industry so robot advisors cannot enter. A more promising approach is to join resources and offer better service. Back when John Bogle first created index funds, there were many questions about his sanity. Today, they are ubiquitous. Rest in peace, sir.
You may be wondering what heartless fools would dare challenge the great american way of investment advice. Let me tell you how a computer programmer thinks. Once the word “computer” referred to a profession. Now, it has been automated, and the job of doing the automation is mine, a computer programmer. It’s nothing personal, but when a job can be automated, programmers have the job of doing so. Automating people’s jobs away is what justifies a programmer’s salary.
Here is the point: we can band together and use the knowledge we have of markets and investments to keep financial advisors employed, or be buried under a wave of investment engines that are better than humans.
True, the public is not beating down the doors to get to robot investing – yet. However, the trends are clear. In 2008 there was a surge, then a retreat, but that’s how trends usually go before they overtake a profession. Look how online sales died before Amazon became king.
My proposal is to work together to gather data and develop AI algorithms that can be sold to individuals from current financial advisors.
If you believe in such a vision, contact me, and we can together work towards a better future for all.
This isn’t just a wish, here is my specific plan.

According to recently published research from the University of Arizona (UA), a fast-moving asteroid or comet struck the earth 65 million years ago, causing catastrophic fires in southern North America, the Indian subcontinent and most of the equatorial part of the world. The research was conducted by David A. Kring of the University of Arizona and Daniel D. Durda of the Southwest Research Institute, and was reported in the Journal of Geophysical Research. [1,2].
Since 1990 UA scientists have used computerized simulations to model this global catastrophic strike, which is believed to have caused the extinction of the dinosaur and hypothesized to be Earth's greatest-ever mass extinction of species.
"We've added more detail in re-evaluating the extent of the wildfires," Kring said. "Our new calculations show that the fires were not ignited in a single pulse, but in multiple pulses at different times in different places around the world." "We still do not know the moving orbit of the striking object (planet). Perhaps the fires were due to the strike."
Their highly detailed simulation model suggests that the mysterious wildfires on Earth started in the days immediately following the strike. This catastrophe was of such a magnitude that at least 75 percent of the planet's plant and animal species did not survive to see the following Cenozoic period.
According to their study, a possible cause of the devastating fires was the debris from the impact of the strike that was lofted far beyond the Earth's atmosphere. Raining back down over a period of several days like trillions of meteors, the debris heated the atmosphere and surface temperatures so intensely that ground vegetation spontaneously ignited.
The collision was extremely energetic, possibly 10 billion times more powerful than the nuclear bombs that flattened Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. According to the simulation model, 12 percent of the impact debris was even launched into the orbits of the other planets of our solar system. Furthermore, because of Earth's rotation, the returning debris ignited fires all over the world.
The study of pre-historical catastrophes such as this meteor strike is significant. Despite the current level of science and technology, mankind remains helpless when faced with such a suddenly arising natural disaster. For example, in 2000 an asteroid came close to colliding with Earth. Scientists now acknowledge that if the collision had occurred, the human race would have been wiped out.
From the view of evolution, many geologists claim that the wildfires 65 million years ago marked both the end of the Mesozoic Period and the beginning of the Cenozoic. This ascertation is controversial because of the subsequent appearance of mammals. Even modern scientific theories have a difficult time explaining how the disaster might have caused the new species to unexpectedly appear. As an explanation, some scientists have viewed this as another example of the elimination of a pre-historical culture, similar to the fall of the Mayan civilization and the vanishing of the ancient country of Loulan.

Does CPU Come With Thermal Paste?
If you’re upgrading your PC, you may be wondering if CPUs come with thermal paste. The answer is yes! CPU manufacturers include thermal paste in the box in some cases; for example, the CPU comes with a cooler. But what if you’ve built a new PC from scratch? Do I have to buy some separately?
Nope! Most processors ship with thermal compounds already pre-applied to their surface. And this isn’t just any old goop, either—it’s high-quality stuff that will keep your processor running cool and stable for years to come.
So don’t worry about it; all you need to do is install the heatsink on top of the CPU and get ready to rock out!
What is Thermal Paste?
Thermal paste is used to help cool the CPU down better than air does alone. It does this by filling in any gaps between components to ensure that heat does not escape from any part of the processor.
Thermal paste does not conduct electricity, so it does not matter what you use. However, the fact that thermal paste is conduct heat makes it great for CPU cooling when a fan does all the work of moving air around the processor.
Do Ryzen CPUs Come With Thermal Paste?
The Ryzen CPU does not come with thermal paste, but Thermal paste should be included in the box if it is packaged with a cooler.
The Ryzen does not need thermal paste to work but does come with some included in the box if you plan on using a cooler.
Does Intel CPU Come With Thermal Paste?
No, Intel does not include thermal paste with its processors. If a cooler is included, then some may be supplied, but this is unlikely. You will have to buy it separately or use what is already on the cooler.
Do You Need to Apply Thermal Paste to a New CPU When the Cooler Has Pre-Applied Thermal Paste?
No, you do not need to apply any additional thermal paste. The pre-applied thermal paste is more than enough for a CPU. However, apply thermal paste when adding a new fan, and it does not come with its thermal paste.
When you buy a new CPU, it might come with thermal paste pre-applied on the cooler or heat sink.
However, if there is no thermal paste applied when you open up your package and take out your shiny new CPU, then don’t worry! You’re not alone in this boat; many other people have also had to apply their thermal paste for whatever reason.
Luckily, applying thermal paste is as simple as opening the can of the compound and either using an applicator tool or just spreading it evenly on both surfaces.

Leased lines:Swisscom operates various data networks that support leased lines based on a range of different technologies such as SDH (Synchronous Digital Hierarchy) and, of course, Ethernet. Business customers can take advantage of permanent, overload-free point-to-point connections using bandwidths of between 2 Mbps and 10 Gbps. Redundancies are tailored to customers’ individual requirements in terms of availability and security.
Next-generation network: To enable more cost-effective use of new services such as VoIP and convergent solutions in the future, Swisscom is investing in a network infrastructure that is based exclusively on All-IP. This infrastructure allows Swisscom to offer services irrespective of the type of access technology selected (copper, wireless or fibre optic). Having migrated the data transport network to IP, commissioned an IP-based telephony and multimedia platform, and launched its first IP-based services such as Swisscom TV and VoIP, Swisscom has already gained experience in All-IP offerings. The first products based solely on IP were already rolled out in 2009 and supplemented since then by a wide range of new services and bundled offerings.
PSTN network:The PSTN network connects virtually all private households and a large proportion of business customers in Switzerland. Four-fold redundancy in the core network and two-fold redundancy in the switching layer ensure excellent voice quality and optimum security and availability.
Transport network: The transport network is a wide area network that connects the regional parts of the fixed network as well as the regional parts of the mobile network with each other as well as with the respective central network core. It also provides the link to computer centres and the global Internet. The transport network is used for all services (voice, video and data) and all customers (residential/business).
Wired access network:Swisscom’s copper access network largely consists of twisted copper-wire pairs and extends to virtually every household in Switzerland. Swisscom began with the expansion of optical fibre to homes and offices (FTTH) in 2008. It started rolling out broadband technology in 2000, first based on ADSL (coverage at end-2013: 98%), then in 2006 based on VDSL2 (coverage at end-2013: over 91%) and in 2008 based on optical fibre technology (coverage at end-2013: FTTB in more than 750,000 homes and businesses). To fulfil its mandate for basic broadband provision, Swisscom also uses wireless technologies such as UMTS and satellite. At present, ADSL is mainly used to provide Internet access. Internet access using very high bandwidths and more broadband-intensive services such as IPTV and video telephony are transmitted only over VDSL2 or optical fibre. A million customers are already using Swisscom’s IPTV, and more than 85% enjoy at least one channel in HD quality (high-definition TV). At the end of 2013 Swisscom launched a service on the fibre-optic network offering speeds of 1 Gbps.
Wireless access network:Swisscom operates a nationwide mobile network in Switzerland. The mobile services it provides are based on GSM, UMTS and LTE, the dominant digital standards across Europe and much of the world. Swisscom has implemented different technologies that enable transmission between handsets and base stations. In 2005, it enhanced all active GSM antennas with EDGE technology, a further development of GPRS. EDGE enables bandwidths of between 150 and 200 kbps and currently covers 99% of the Swiss population. Swisscom began rolling out UMTS as far back as 2004, and since 2006 has continued to expand its mobile network using HSPA/HSPA+. This allows download speeds of up to 42 Mbps. By the end of 2013, UMTS/HSPA covered around 98% of the Swiss population. Swisscom took another major step in 2011 when it became the first mobile provider in Switzerland to launch a field trial with LTE. Swisscom’s launched its 4G/LTE offerings on the Swiss market in December 2012 and has since extended coverage to 85% of Swiss households. With LTE currently supporting bandwidths of up to 150 Mbps, Swisscom already has the fastest mobile network in Switzerland and is aiming to further extend this technological lead.

Main hero of the book. We can describe him as a character that has a very dynamic role. He is the one who has changed a lot from the very beginning until the end of the story.
Frederic is a little bit aloof guy. And it is not a strange thing as his work is a stressful one. He is a young American ambulance driver with the Italian army during World War I. So, yes, he came through lots of hard things as well as he saw lots of blood and death.
By the way, he does not feel strongly about the cause and certainly is not out for glory. He turns from the horrors of war to a passionate, escapist love. Moreover, he met his military duties with quiet stoicism. He displays courage in battle, but his selfless motivations undermine all sense of glory and heroism, abstract terms for which Henry has little patience.
Important to mention that he really lacks passion in his life up to the time he meets the beautiful Catherine Barkley. It isn’t a secret that love cures and that all-consuming love helps to distract our hero from the brutality around him. Still, he is good at his job; a cool-headed, unselfish man who exercises grace under pressure when he is injured and when he must shoot a deserting engineering officer, Henry fulfills the code of the "Hemingway hero."
Finally, when he was on the crossroad, he made the right decision. He makes his "separate peace" when he decides that he no longer has any obligation to the army and that he is absolutely loyal to Catherine. It deserves to be granted, that is why we can hope that they could get married if only they were real.
Lieutenant Frederic Henry in the Essays

WEDNESDAY Colloquium: Dr. Lara Kueppers
February 4, 2015 @ 4:00 pm - 5:30 pm PST
The Energy and Resources Group presents research and teaching talks by the five candidate finalists for the Environmental Science faculty position with ERG. The research talks are a part of the ERG Colloquium Spring 2015 series. SPEAKER Dr. Lara Kueppers Research Scientist, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and Assistant Research Scientist, UC Merced RESEARCH TALK “Linking experiments and models to advance prediction of dynamic forest responses to climate change” Date: Wednesday, February 4, 2015 Venue: 110 Barrows Hall Time: 4-5:30 pm TEACHING TALK Date: Thursday, February 5, 2015 Venue: 202 South Hall Time: 12-1 pm Research Talk Abstract The geographic distributions of foundation species, such as Western US forest trees, are critical to numerous ecological processes and ecosystem services. However, niche models, widely used to project shifts in species distributions with climate change, have not been empirically tested and lack ecological processes critical to understanding rates of change and impacts to forest structure. We established the Alpine Treeline Warming Experiment to experimentally examine effects of climate warming on subalpine tree seedling establishment and physiological performance at subalpine forest margins and in the alpine. We are using data-driven meta-population models to evaluate the long-term population consequences of observed changes in recruitment. In our experiment, recruitment declines with warming near the low elevation limit of subalpine forest and does not increase in the alpine. Both demographic and physiological results indicate that summer soil moisture is a critical factor constraining seedling and population success. Thus, contrary to simple models of upslope shifts with warming, in the absence of additional summer moisture, our models show contraction in the elevational range of subalpine trees over the next 200+ years. Bio Lara Kueppers is a scientist in the Carbon and Climate Science Program at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and in the Sierra Nevada Research Institute at UC Merced. She leads the Alpine Treeline Warming Experiment at Niwot Ridge, Colorado and uses coupled climate-land surface models at regional scales to study climate-ecosystem interactions. Her interdisciplinary research interests include the impacts of climate change on plant populations, communities and ecosystems; climate-ecosystem feedbacks; plant and microbial species effects on ecosystem processes; agriculture-climate interactions; and economic and policy responses to climate change.

FEATURE – In this roundup, we discuss the obeya room and use some of the best articles on the topic to explain why it’s such a powerful tool to drive improvement in your organization.
Words: Roberto Priolo, Editor, Planet Lean
Does it ever feel like, in your lean transformation, many of the difficulties you encounter are linked to the dichotomy between the horizontal flow of value across departments and the vertical silo-based organization of your company?
That’s understandable. This is a bit of a head-scratcher. Forget that customers don’t care about your internal processes and simply expect your process to flow quickly and smoothly (which require tight collaboration among business functions), and you will be in real trouble really quickly. In the same way, it’s naïve to expect to be able to create a completely flat organization that ignores the specialized knowledge each department is a repository of. So, what to do?
A way to solve this dilemma is to use an Obeya. In Japanese, obeya means “big room” – often translated as “war room” because of its function. This is a very powerful tool for facilitating teamwork and better managing projects (it is particularly popular in product development environment, but it can be used anywhere – often as “control center” for the deployment of your strategy).
In this great Gemba Coach column, Michael Ballé writes: “An obeya is clearly a tool of teamwork: helping managers in various functions solve problems across their borders. As part of a project or management team, what the obeya should give you is a clear idea of what your colleagues are working on and why (as well as why they think what they’re doing is helping) so that you can see for yourself where your own efforts help them or cause them additional trouble.”
A condition for the effectiveness of an obeya is mastery of visual management. A typical obeya room will be covered in charts, graphs, photos, and of course A3s – displaying the plan and its milestones, tracking progress against the expectations, and listing potential countermeasures to the problems identified.
In a great article for Planet Lean, Sandrine Olivencia and Régis Medina tell us about the origins of this tool: “In the early 1990s, Takeshi Uchiyamada, a Toyota Chief Engineer, was given a difficult challenge: designing the car of the 21st century, with very aggressive fuel consumption targets. In less than three years, the first hybrid car, the Prius, was brought to market – 15 years ahead of the competition. To pull off such a feat, the Chief Engineer also had to invent a new product and process development approach. He designed a new kind of visual management, which has since spread across Toyota engineering offices: the obeya.”
THE OBEYA MEANING
In their piece, Sandrine and Régis offer a new interpretation of why the obeya is such a powerful tool. They write: “An obeya is not another project management tool. The goal is neither to review progress nor to prioritize features. The goal is rather to think deeply, to talk, to argue about the main issues of the project. It’s a space for discovery.” (Discovery meaning learning how our product creates value for the customer and, subsequently, how to produce in the most efficient way.)
They go on to give us four answers that an obeya must answer in order to be considered effective. Check out the article to read about this.
In reflecting on the purpose of an obeya in another Gemba Coach column, Michael Ballé says this tool “keeps the management team’s eyes on the ball and develops teamwork”.
What should an obeya focus on, though?
Michael recommends three main topics that any obeya should explore:
- Customer complaints – “The obeya is there to create space to think about our customers and the value we offer.” (Which is perfectly in line with Sandrine and Régis’s point of view that the obeya is a tool for discovery.)
- Key performance indicators and improvement objectives (in particular, look out for a dynamic objective and completed A3s) – “Any team needs a clear way to score points collectively in order to fight the match together – any sport has devised a scoring scheme.”
- Coming changes that will affect us all – “By posting the planned changes in the obeya rooms we can start thinking about obstacles and specific issues in order to prepare teams for the change.”
- A description of key systems or technologies that must mesh together to create a full product or service: the obeya must help us understand how value is truly built-in and where the interface problems lurk, and in particular, root out the “Hail-Mary” passes hidden in our thinking that will lead to unnecessary costs and waste.
A FEW OBEYA ROOM EXAMPLES
Check out these three articles to learn how different organizations are creating and leveraging their obeyas.
- Here, Nike shares a few tips on how to create an obeya room – emphasizing the importance of trial-and-error.
- In this interview, Malika Mir tells us how Ipsen is using the “big room”
- Finally, in the video below, Dr Frederico Pinto from a Brazilian cancer treatment center shows us their Green Room and explains how it works.

What You Need to Know About IRS Tax Audits
A tax audit can be random or it can be based on underreporting of income, failure to file a return, or under-paying taxes owed. This article will provide basic information on the types of IRS audits, the timing of audits, and the reasons for conducting an audit.
Types of IRS Audits
There are several different types of IRS tax audits, and any audit can result in interest, fines, and penalties being assessed after the audit, so each audit type must be taken seriously.
A correspondence audit is conducted strictly by letter. The IRS sends a notification requesting clarification or documentation relating to specific items or issues. This is the least severe tax audit, and if you have the documentation to back up the deduction or item on your tax return, you may be able to handle this type of audit on your own. However, if you cannot substantiate the claim, you should obtain some help since interest and/or other penalties are typically imposed if the IRS determines that the deduction is illegitimate.
An office audit is conducted at an IRS office. You will be asked to attend the audit and to provide specific documents outlined in the audit notice.
A field audit is conducted at your home, or, if it is a business audit, at your place of business. The field audit is the broadest type of audit, and the IRS can request to see more documents than in the other types of audits. Usually, a field audit indicates that the IRS is looking for something specific, often related to business income.
The IRS also conducts random audits. Since these audits are random, the IRS is not looking for anything specific, but your entire return will be reviewed.
Timing of a Tax Audit
Under most circumstances, the IRS can conduct an audit within three years of the date of filing of the return, but back taxes can be collected for up to 10 years. This means that if an audit of one year’s return uncovers an error in payment of taxes on returns that were filed more than three years before the audit was conducted, the back taxes on those previous returns – up to 10 years – can also be collected.
There are exceptions to the three year limit on IRS audits which extends that timeframe, including fraud, failure to file a tax return, and significant underreporting of income, which allow the IRS to conduct the audit more than three years after the audit has been filed.
Why Are You Being Audited?
The IRS will audit you for a number of reasons, including random sampling, computerized screening, and comparison of your return with information received by the IRS from other sources. For example, if something on your return does not conform with information the IRS has received from your employer, it might trigger an audit.
Failure to report income is another major reason for IRS audits. Every dollar of income received, including income received as an independent contractor, must be reported to the IRS.
Deductions can also lead to an audit. Red flags that trigger IRS audits are related to business expenses, such as business travel, entertainment, and meals. Other deductions, including charitable donations, depreciation, and dependent exemptions may also trigger an audit.
Cash businesses are also frequent targets for audits, since there is a perception that many cash-based businesses typically do not report all income received. Similarly, home-based businesses are often heavily scrutinized when a deduction is taken for space within the home that is dedicated to the business, since the IRS requires that if this deduction is taken, the space must be used “regularly and exclusively” for business purposes, and cannot be also used for personal reasons.
If you have been audited in the past or receive notice that you are currently under audit, you should talk to an experienced tax lawyer, who can help guide you in the proper preparation of your return and going through an audit.

Speaking Tuesday evening before the Catalan parliament in Barcelona, regional premier Carles Puigdemont announced that Catalonia would secede from Spain, in line with the result of the October 1 Catalan independence referendum. However, he put off a formal declaration of independence for now and requested negotiations with the central government in Madrid. The Popular Party (PP) government of Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy has declared the referendum illegal and treasonous and ruled out talks with Puigdemont.
The contradictory announcement, coming after Puigdemont reportedly took calls from politicians from across Europe, left the European political situation in a highly unstable and explosive state, with Spain teetering on the verge of military rule and civil war.
Puigdemont delivered his speech amid an unfolding Spanish military and police intervention into Catalonia and the looming threat of a crackdown even bloodier than that carried out on October 1, the day of the referendum. At that time, 16,000 Guardia Civil assaulted peaceful voters and smashed polling places in a failed attempt to halt the referendum, shocking the world as videos emerged of police beating civil servants and voters, including elderly women. Since then, however, the Spanish military-police presence has been considerably reinforced.
European Union officials and heads of government are continuing to make clear their support for Rajoy’s repression. French President Emmanuel Macron yesterday denounced the “economic egotism” of the Catalan independence movement, and German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s spokesman announced on Monday that she had contacted Rajoy to give her support.
Spanish army logistics units and at least 6,000 more national police have deployed to the region since October 1, taking over Catalonia’s ports and Barcelona’s El Prat Airport. Amid reports that the Spanish Interior Ministry is planning to arrest Puigdemont, several Special Forces units, including the Special Operations Group (GEO) of the police and the Guardia Civil ’s Rapid Action Group (GAR) and Special Intervention Unit (UEI), have made preparations to intervene.
On Monday, a spokesman for Rajoy’s PP government said that Puigdemont could end up like Lluís Companys, who was jailed in 1934 after proclaiming a Catalan state within Spain. In 1940, Companys was captured by the Gestapo in Nazi-occupied Paris and handed over to the Spanish fascist regime of Francisco Franco, which executed him by firing squad.
On Tuesday, Catalan regional police, the Mossos d’Esquadra, closed down the grounds surrounding the parliament before Puigdemont spoke. They are now carrying out round-the-clock protection of Catalan cabinet members, including Puigdemont. These Catalan government officials are traveling in unmarked cars, El Confidencial reported, to prevent Spanish police from grabbing and arresting them.
Puigdemont spoke at 7 pm, arguing that relations between Catalonia and the rest of Spain had irretrievably broken down. He thanked those who organized or voted in the October 1 referendum, recalled the police assault that day, which wounded over 800 people, and declared that the Catalan issue was no longer an internal Spanish matter, but a European issue. He then said that the Spanish political order that emerged from the 1978 Transition from the Francoite regime to parliamentary democracy had failed the Catalan population.
Citing Catalonia’s role as an “economic motor” of Spain, which, he claimed, helped consolidate democracy, he indicated that Catalans had believed the 1978 Constitution would provide them with a framework for progress. Laying out the Catalan government’s attempts to rewrite its autonomy statutes over the last decade, which were repeatedly vetoed by Spanish courts, he argued that Catalonia was now moving backward from 1978.
Puigdemont cited the October 1 referendum—which produced an 89 percent vote for independence, but on the basis of a voter turnout of just 42 percent—as a binding vote, requiring him to declare an independent Catalan republic. However, he said that he would suspend Catalan independence “several weeks” in response to international demands that he accept mediation with Madrid.
The Spanish government responded to Puigdemont on Tuesday through Vice-Premier Soraya Sáenz de Santamaría, who flatly rejected all calls for mediation. She reiterated the PP’s insistence that the referendum and the Catalan law on which it was based were illegal, and that there could be no negotiations with the Catalan separatists.
“Neither Mr. Puigdemont nor anyone else can draw conclusions from a law that does not exist, a referendum that did not occur, and from a will of the Catalan people that, yet again, they are trying to seize and make their own,” she said. Adding that there could be no mediation, she announced, “Tomorrow, the leader of the government will bring together the council of ministers to discuss our next steps.”
Rajoy is due to make a statement on the Catalan crisis today after the council of ministers meeting, at 4 pm.
The only force that can provide a progressive resolution of this crisis is the working class. The brutal policy of the Spanish state and the national bourgeoisie of using violence and repression to forcibly hold Catalonia within Spain is reactionary and must be opposed by workers across the Iberian Peninsula, Spanish and Catalan alike, together with workers throughout Europe and internationally. The demand must be raised for the immediate withdrawal of all national police and military forces from Catalonia.
With the support of the Spanish Socialist Party, the PSOE, the right-wing Rajoy regime is seeking to whip up nationalist sentiment and encourage Francoite fascistic forces in order to prepare a military crackdown not only against the Catalan masses, but also the working class in the rest of the country. This is its solution to the desperate and worsening crisis of Spanish and European capitalism.
But the Catalan separatist bourgeoisie and its middle-class allies offer no democratic or progressive alternative. They seek a separate capitalist state in order to establish more lucrative relations with the imperialist powers on the basis of more intense austerity, using Catalan workers as cheap labor to attract foreign investment. They whip up Catalan nationalism the better to divide the working class and exploit their “own” workers.
Only the independent mobilization of the working class in Spain and across Europe, in struggle against capitalism and the danger of dictatorship, on a socialist and internationalist perspective, offers a way forward.
The basic problems facing the broad mass of the Catalan and Spanish populations are rooted not in national, but class oppression. The majority of the Catalan population that did not participate in the October 1 referendum includes large sections of the working class that oppose secession.
What is unfolding is not a crisis simply of the 1978 Spanish Constitution, but of European and world capitalism. The budget battles and fights over regional autonomy between the ruling elites in Madrid and Barcelona unfolded over a decade, as the EU reacted to the global financial collapse with massive bank bailouts financed by devastating austerity measures against the working class across Europe. The formation of a Catalan capitalist republic, led by politicians who have long supported austerity and imperialist war, will do nothing to resolve this international crisis.
There is every indication that Madrid, working with Washington and the major EU powers, is now preparing its political strategy to justify a new crackdown. There is extensive discussion in the Spanish media of applying either Article 155 or 116 of the Spanish Constitution to suspend Catalan regional self-government and basic democratic rights. This would pave the way for a rapid extension of military rule not only in Catalonia, but across all of Spain.
A major element of this crackdown would be the closing down of Internet and social media accounts to censor information and block protests. Yesterday, Madrid suspended the Twitter accounts used by two Catalan nationalist organizations, the Catalan National Assembly and Omnium, to communicate with their supporters.
Madrid is preparing a bitter clash with the Catalan nationalists and their supporters, many of whom sharply criticized Puigdemont for not immediately declaring independence. Puigdemont delayed his appearance yesterday for one hour as he negotiated with the petty-bourgeois nationalist Candidatures of Popular Unity (CUP), which has supported Puigdemont’s austerity budgets in the Catalan parliament. The CUP ultimately boycotted his speech, however.
CUP deputy Anna Gabriel took the floor later to criticize Puigdemont, declaring, “We believe that today was the opportunity to solemnly proclaim the Catalan republic and that we perhaps missed an opportunity.” Issuing a hollow pledge to continue with a Catalan separatist program until it produces “class and gender liberation,” she concluded: “We came to make a republic.”
Spain’s Podemos party is again playing the central role in blocking an independent mobilization of the working class against the danger of a crackdown and military rule, instead adopting an impotent policy of issuing moral appeals to Rajoy and the PP to negotiate with Barcelona.
Podemos General Secretary Pablo Iglesias applauded Puigdemont’s decision to suspend independence. He asked Rajoy to negotiate based on the recognition that “Spain is pluri-national and the Catalan people deserve to be listened to.”

I met a neighbour in the lift the other day; all dressed up, heading for a job interview.
- I’ll stop by the church to light a candle, and say a little prayer to get the job.
- Once you get it, will you light another one to thank for the job?
He didn’t answer, probably thinking how silly his neighbour was. Perhaps he had never given this a serious thought. I still hope he’s done it… There’s something really magical in that second candle.
If we are grateful, and only if we are truly grateful, the universe will send us more of what we are grateful for. Why would the universe work for us? It’s only natural, in fact. We might have forgotten about it, but happiness is our natural state. Abundance is our natural state. It’s not selfishness or greed, it has nothing to do with whether we have earned it, or if we can pay for it somehow. That’s who we are!
However natural abundance should come to everyone, we are given a free will, and the tools to change the world. Your thoughts are the tools. If you constantly think about what you don’t have, the universe reacts to your thoughts, creating an ever deeper absence. There’s not a person in this world who doesn’t have anything, but many do not know how to be grateful for what they have. There’s a trick we don’t know, which is why we let our thoughts drive us to misery so easily. Clear the blockades and transform ignorance into wisdom, fear into love, and suffering into abundance.
A stomach in spasm cannot accept food, even if completely empty. What else is greed, envy and a fear of poverty if not a spasm? These are the feelings blocking us. That’s why teachers sometimes give away something of their own, for a student to relax. It’s a futile attempt, however, if they don’t change, and cure themselves with gratitude! One of the two things will happen: either they’ll come to depend on the teacher, or feel even more desperate as yet another attempt has failed. You heal yourself alone – find something good within, something beautiful about you, around you, in other people close to you, and be grateful.
A viable technique is easy to practice daily, because the experience is telling you it works. You’ll see, the universe will give you what you’re grateful for. If you are truly grateful for whatever little money you have, you’ll get more, because you can receive more. Little love may be fulfilling you, but if you are grateful, your potential for love expands, and more love comes to your life. The incredible thing is that if by gratitude you attract just love, or just a job, or just money, the type of abundance you have created will draw in other types of abundance, too. You’ll do it yourself! Why? How? Again, by being grateful, because we all deserve to be happy and healthy, loved and fulfilled; we deserve a smile on our faces.
Have you ever been sent to an emergency room? A mere five minutes there would make you realise how much you actually have, however tormenting your problems may be. The problem is that such gratitude is so ephemeral. Of seven billion people on this planet, you belong to the billion enjoying their own bed, enough water to drink and bath in, and at least one hot meal a day. Try and say one “thank you” a day for these things.
Gratitude towards each fragment of your little abundance is an investment in whatever makes you smile. If of five things you don’t have four, focus on the one you have and caress it with your gratitude – the one will give birth to the other four. Like me, wake up every morning with one single thought:
Today I am grateful.

As perhaps the most archetypal form of modernist abstraction, the grid has been employed as a formal, compositional device in countless artworks over the past century.
In ‘Grids’ (1979), Rosalind Krauss’ seminal essay on the subject, she describes this structural device as: [f]lattened, geometricized, ordered, it is antinatural, antimimetic, antireal. It is what art looks like when it turns its back on nature’. However, for Rosalie Gascoigne, the grid was employed as a compositional method in order to generate highly personal and experiential evocations of natural phenomena in ways which transcended the more rigid, impersonal qualities associated with its geometry.
In one of her late works entitled Afternoon (1996), Gascoigne assembled 27 individual panels of found painted timber in roughly similar sizes in a grid-like formation. At a surface level the serial repetition of components arranged and balanced according to vertical and horizontal axes corresponds to a reductive Minimalist sensibility. However, it is the heavily weathered timber with its faded white paint which infuses the work with a resonant and suggestive force. As the artist traversed the open countryside she deliberately sought out materials that she felt were ‘invested with the spirit of the place’ and capable of recalling ‘the feeling of an actual moment in the landscape’. In this light, the vital materiality of the reclaimed painted timber is not only inscribed with the effects of its prolonged exposure to the elements, but it also speaks directly to Gascoigne’s deep and abiding memories of her experiences in the landscape. In Afternoon, the richly allusive quality of the individual boards is suggestive of passing clouds, evoking the ephemeral and transitory phenomena of nature in continuous metamorphosis. Contemplated as a unified pictorial whole, this humble assemblage of discarded and deteriorating matter assumes a metaphysical dimension bordering on the ineffable, one which resoundingly accords with the artist’s desire to ‘capture the “nothingness” of the countryside, those wide open spaces … the great Unsaid … the silence that often only visual beauty transcends’.

The Test You Didn’t Know Existed
Modernize your drug development approach by taking advantage of cutting-edge functional genomics with Gene Mutation/Function Libraries (GMLs). Through a massively parallel mammalian cell in vivo process called the GigaAssay, Heligenics produces what is called a Gene Mutation/Function Library (GMLs). Each GML measures the impact of all possible amino acid substitutions in the target upon its molecular function in live human cells. GMLs have several applications in the drug development pipeline: screening lead compounds, evaluating derivatives, characterizing compounds ready for trials, and optimizing trial design for approval.
These are the major factors that produce a much higher risk for the drug development and approval process.

A New Beginning
The wedding and baptism were
growing ever closer. Eagerly the final preparations were made. With
only one week before the baptism Diego, accompanied by Bernardo, left
the hacienda early that spring morning for the pueblo de Los Angeles.
Diego was to join Padre Felipe at the tavern to discuss the baptismal
service and then the two men would meet with Captain Monastario in his
office to iron out last minute details of the wedding. This was a very
exciting time for both young couples for in their own way were

over a game of chess. Later the two hoped to write a special
"grandfather toast" to the new arrivals to be given at the
celebration. Even the servants were busy in the main house; decorating
the patio with many pots filled with scented flowers and hanging
colored lanterns. In just one week the celebrations would

each child before setting them down for their nap. Proudly she smiled
at Abuelo knowing her children were in safe hands then turned to head

with cook regarding the week's menu."
"Very well," smiled
Leonar. "I am so excited. Everything is going perfectly. Father and
Aunt Margarita are arriving any day now. Most important Father has
finally excepted Enrique."
"Si even Don Alejandro no longer
cringes when the commandante is in the same room," laughed Anna Maria.
Oh, I hear a wagon. I am going to speak to cook and I will join you
Anna Maria walked into the main house leaving Leonar
to wait for arrival of the seamstress. Within moments the sound of
horses hooves and the wheels of a wagon stopped at the gate. Excitedly
Leonar ran to the entrance and swung open the large wooden door.
Carlotta greeted the bride as the peon carefully unloaded the wagon.
Leonar gestured to both to follow her upstairs. Opening the door to
Anna Maria's bedroom, Leonar requested the wedding items be placed on
the bed. Once this was accomplished the peon excused himself to wait
in the wagon. Slowly Carlotta uncovered the wedding gown as Leonar
sighed happily. The gown with its beautiful shear appliquéd mantilla
took Leonar's breath away. Carlotta had performed a miracle for Leonar
was to have her perfect dress. As the bride-to-be was about to change
into her dress she heard the cry of a baby. When the crys did not stop
she excused herself to check on the babies in the nursery.
"Abuelo is everything alright," asked Leonar before feeling a hand placed over her mouth and one around her waist.
"Quiet senorita if you know what is good for you and those children," snarled the mystery man.
out on the floor was la ninera. Obviously she had done her best to
protect the little ones from this violent man whose face seemed so
familiar. Frightened by the site of Abuelo lying on the floor Leonar
obeyed when the man told her to be quiet. As the man released Leonar
she ran to the fallen woman.
"Who are you and what do you want?" questioned Leonar looking up at the man..
do not remember me," said the peon . "Of course not, you are too above
one like me to take notice...I was a servant in the Verdugo household."
"You are Pablo...I remember now," Leonar said leaving Abuelo to check on the babies. "I thought you were in jail."
I was but there is not a jail that could hold me." said Pablo pulling a
knife from his sash. Now I have come for the money that is owed me."
opened the door to the nursery to let another man, who was not familiar
to Leonar, enter. Leonar ran for the door about to scream for help but
Pablo grabbed her and muffled her yell. Leonar watched fearfully as
the other man reached into one of the cribs and lifted out a baby.
Together with their hostages the men made their way down the stairs to
the waiting wagon where they disappeared unseen by the household. It
seemed like hours had gone by but in reality only minutes had passed.
Having finished her business in the kitchen Anna Maria headed to her
room. Once their she was surprised to find only Carlotta standing
among the garments.
"What has happened to our bride to-be," inquired Anna Maria.
de la Vega, your friend heard one of the babies crying and went to see
if there was something she could do to help," said the seamstress.
"She has not returned yet."
"Strange," replied Anna Maria. "I shall go see what is keeping her."
the door Anna Maria immediately saw the body of her children's nanny
laying on the floor. Kneeling by Abuelo's side Anna Maria turned her
to check on her condition. Frightened by the sight of blood oozing
from Abuelo's mouth Anna Maria ran to her children. Eduardo was
sleeping peacefully but where was Maria Isabella. Running to the door
Anna Maria screamed out for Don Alejandro and her father causing
Eduardo to cry out as he awoke. In a matter of minutes the two men and
the seamstress ran to the nursery. As Don Grigorio and Carlotta tried
to comfort the senora and started child, Don Alejandro carried Abuelo
to the bed in the nursery where she began to come around.
there was a man...an evil man," said the semi-conscious woman. "He was
threatening to take one of the babies. I tried to stop him but he hit
me. Are the little ones alright?"
"You must rest," Don
Alejandro said reassuringly. "Carlotta please tell one of the servants
to send for the doctor and the commandate immediately. Then have one
of the servants bring Benito to me at once"
"Anna Maria, you
must be brave," added Don Grigorio. "Diego will return to the hacienda
with the commandante as soon as word is received. They will find
"Si, everything will be alright," Alejandro said
patting his daughter-in-laws arm. "Come let us return to Abuelo.
Perhaps she can remember something useful."
"Abuelo," said the don. "Can you tell us anymore about the man who entered the nursery and did this to you?"
"I never saw him before," said Abuelo grabbing her head. "But he was an Indian and said the Verdugo's would pay,"
"Rest easy, the doctor will be here soon." said Don Alejandro joining the others.
outside the nursery the dons looked at one another. Don Grigorio took
the baby from Anna Maria and walked silently back to the nursery.
Alejandro took a deep breath and began the sad duty of telling Anna
Maria of Pablo and Quintana's escape from jail.
exclaimed Anna Maria raising her hand to her mouth. "Both men are
dangerous and each has a grudge against our families. What are we to
do? They have Maria Isabella and Leonar."
"Everything will be
alright daughter," Don Alejandro said embracing Anna Maria. "Diego and
the commandante will be here soon with a patrol. Pablo and Quintana
will not get away with this. Maria Isabella and Leonar will be found

Report launch: Lifting the Lid on Fintech
Lifting the Lid on Fintech, our new report, examines the acceleration of technology-driven innovation in finance – fintech. It looks beyond industry-led hype about the speed and convenience of 21st century finance, to explore how fintech is transforming finance on a systemic level, leading to worrying concentrations of power and increased threats to democracy, sustainability, justice, and resilience in finance.
Fintech has directly touched most people’s lives in the UK. A majority use online banking, there is a long-term trend to pay via ‘contactless’ or other digital means and rising numbers are aware of new finance apps, such as Monzo, Klarna, Revolut and Starling Bank. But many people feel uncomfortable about the pace of change underway. Three quarters think a move towards a cashless society is happening too fast, and the decline of high street banking leaves half of the population feeling pessimistic about the future.
What does new technology mean for a financial system that serves people and planet?
The digital revolution in finance has been praised for bringing better products to consumers and supporting financial inclusion, but these claims are largely unevidenced and ignore major risks. Our new report outlines how technology is in fact exacerbating existing risks for democracy, sustainability, justice, and resilience in finance. It is also creating new risks, as finance learns from Big Tech and adopts platform business models enabled and powered by the mass acquisition and manipulation of data.
As a result, we are seeing unprecedented levels of corporate power and the establishment of new institutions that are too big to fail. There is little transparency or accountability for the data collected about us. New business models seek to predict and even influence our behaviour. Automation embeds pre-existing inequalities within essential services.
It is not inevitable that fintech will continue along this trajectory – an alternative approach is possible. We’re proud to work with innovators who are pioneering a better future for fintech, including many of our Fellows and community members. There are major opportunities for innovative policymaking and regulation to help realise fintech’s positive potential.
We propose seven principles to guide financial policymaking and regulation, and call for a multi-stakeholder commission to be established to take this important agenda forward.
- 1. Put social and environmental purpose at the heart of policymaking – ahead of competitiveness and growth. For example, the Fintech Strategic Review, currently underway, should include an objective to maximise the social and environmental benefits of fintech, ahead of the stated objectives of growth in the sector, increased consumer adoption, and advancing the UK’s global reputation for innovation.
- 2. Develop fintech in a way that is transparent and accountable to citizens. Key decisions that will shape the future of finance are being determined by new forums, infrastructure bodies and policy initiatives. Members of the public and their representatives should be included and supported to participate in these so that fintech is ultimately shaped by society’s needs – not just the interests of tech firms and financial institutions.
- 3. Create non-market alternatives to Big Tech, run in the public interest. It is not safe for essential services like finance to be heavily reliant on media and advertising companies for critical infrastructure. Alternatives to for-profit corporate-owned cloud computing, hardware, algorithms – and more – must be created and supported to flourish.
- 4. Rebalance the playing field in favour of purpose-driven fintech. Support and incentives should be provided for purpose-driven fintech led by organisations that embed social and environmental purpose in their mission, culture, business models, and governance and ownership structures.
- 5. Moderate data’s potential to undermine financial service provision and create vulnerability. Data collection should be better regulated to ensure that it leads to service improvements and does not undermine access to essential services such as insurance.
- 6. Protect and empower consumers and citizens, especially those facing the greatest risk of discrimination and vulnerability. The public must be protected from the increasing and unprecedented power of fintech through commensurate regulation.
- 7. Build and draw upon an independent evidence base. There is an urgent need to fill the research and evidence gap about the impacts of fintech on people and planet.
Mick McAteer (founder and co-Director, The Financial Inclusion Centre):
“Fintech joins a long list of innovations heralded by promoters as transformative. And there are real benefits. But, this critical report looks beyond the hype, and demonstrates how fintech and big data creates real, unrecognised threats to consumers and society. The Lab’s robust framework principles would help policymakers and regulators protect citizens and society from the more dystopian aspects of fintech, and promote the socially useful benefits.”
“This thoughtful report argues for levelling the playing field in a context where there are stark asymmetries of power – working to empower and protect vulnerable consumers. To do that, we need an evidence base independent of government and industry that understands what the impacts, risks and benefits are; and to engage citizens in an informed dialogue on their expectations for fintech that works for people and society.”
We’re really excited about the opportunity to collaborate with the Lab’s community to progress this work. If you’d like to get involved, get in touch with our Head of Programmes, Marloes Nicholls.

How is DevOps changing the way we compute? One big DevOps innovation is helping developers and admins consume exactly what resources they need to deploy an app—nothing more and nothing less.
Traditionally, using (and paying for) only what you need has been tough in all parts of life. If I want to park my car for just 10 minutes on a Baltimore street, I have to pay $1 for a half-hour’s worth of time, because that’s the minimum parking fee. In similar fashion, I pay about $50 a month for the heating bill in the unoccupied house I just bought, even though the heat is turned off, because that’s the minimum monthly charge.
The problem of having to pay for more than you actually need was a big issue in the pre-DevOps digital world, too. In the past, if you wanted to deploy an app, you had two options. The first was to run it on a bare-metal server. If you did that, to help mitigate the risk of the server becoming overloaded, you’d dedicate more resources to the app than would be necessary during normal usage. That meant paying for capacity that you were not using most of the time.
The other option was to use a virtual machine (VM). Thanks to tricks such as live-migration and “hot-plugging,” commercial virtualization platforms provided some elasticity to VMs, helping to assure that the VMs consumed only the resources they needed at any given time. But virtualization still means you are wasting resources on hardware emulation and running guest operating systems that needlessly duplicate most of the functionality of the host. Even the leanest VM environment requires you to dedicate more resources to deploying an app than the app actually requires.
DevOps and the Consumption Revolution
DevOps technologies are changing all of this. They are revolutionizing the way we consume digital resources and introducing efficiencies that were not possible in the age before DevOps.
The most obvious example of such innovation is containers. With a containerized app, you get the portability and elasticity that traditionally have been available only from virtual machines. But with containers, you don’t have to waste resources on virtualization. Your apps only consume what they need at any given moment in time.
Technologies such as Lambda functions on AWS are bringing the same efficiency to the public cloud. With Lambda, you don’t have to pay for virtual servers, memory or disk space on an ongoing basis just to ensure that you have them available when you need them. Instead, you can use Lambda functions to get access to a large amount of compute capacity in the cloud instantly, and stop paying for it the millisecond you no longer need it.
Also worth noting is all of the automation that DevOps brings to software delivery by promoting continuous delivery practices. In the age of waterfall development, each part of the organization had to wait around on other teams to push code or test results down the pipeline before it could perform its own tasks. With continuous delivery, everyone works continuously and in parallel. The result is no more wasted time and skills.
In a multitude of ways, then, DevOps is optimizing the digital consumption. In the future, we’ll wonder why we ever accepted “miminum” fees or had to pay for more than what we needed to get the job done.

Today we went to Material Connection on 101 Park Avenue. We walked around and picked some of the materials that I found interesting and intriguing. I took a lot of photos of the ones that I thought were unique, fun, and different.
The first item that stood out to me was a type of fabric.
A coated knit fabric that incorporates double the amount of retro-reflective particles which allows it to create a rainbow effect on the surface. Polyurethane is used to coat a knit polyester textile that has stretchiness, abrasion and water resistant. Can be cut down and sewn like a regular coated fabric. Applicable for apparel, accessories, upholstery and other soft interior surfaces.
Manufactured in Taiwan
Slightly reflective, stretchy, UV resistant
I would see this in a children’s playroom or an indoor trampoline park with (neon) lights.
The second item:
This is a thin, natural coating on a translucent, flexible, lightweight, self-adhesive foil for interior design. The product on the left is made of 100% residual moss, the 90% is made from jasmine blossoms and 10% rose petals under high pressure using a CO2 – neutral process. The coatings are eco-friendly, safe, and they help regulate indoor air humidity. Will be applicable for wallpaper and furniture. The material brings the “outdoors inside” with its natural smell, touch, look, and feel.
Standard Size: 3050mm x 1320mm
This type of material would possibly be used as a wallpaper in the interior of a store that sells plants and gardening tools. Also at an outdoor playground – as a small block stool.
Manufactured in Austria.
Sustainability: lightweight, low toxicity, renewable content, waste material content.
The third item: Naturals
This is a quartz-based solid surfacing that is strong, durable, and lightweight but also with improved physical and mechanical properties. It is manufactured one at a time using a “proprietary technique” to attain the deep veining that runs top to bottom which results in one of a kind slabs. Very popular among interior designers who work for clients that want more of a clean and aesthetic style in their homes. This material would be used for kitchen tops, kitchen islands, floors, bathroom surfaces, and wall coverings. This is one of my personal favourites and it is one of my ideal themes when designing interior spaces. Sound reflecting, low to medium temperature usage, glossy and opaque. Zero water absorption, surface hardness or natural quartz, low thermal expansion coefficient, fire resistance with smoke emission.
Standard slab size: 120 x 55.1 in / 2cm thickness
Manufactured in Spain.

The body and mind are fuelled by energy. But where does the energy come from? The sun beams energy through space as photons that are captured by plants, which store that energy in the improbable separation of carbon and oxygen. By reuniting carbon and oxygen in their mitochondria, breathing animals power their warm bodies, thoughts, feelings, minds and consciousness. Thus, the life-giving flow of energy proceeds from light, through chemistry, into life. Mapping the mechanisms of energy transformation among mind-imbued organisms is the challenge for the field of mitochondrial psychobiology. Emerging evidence positions energy as the substrate of the mind–body connection, linking the molecular processes in the organism and the subjective experiences in our mind. Building a bioenergetic psychobiology framework can stimulate the health sciences in three main ways: it provides an empirical foundation to examine the interconnectedness of people and their environment, highlights health as a dynamic process, and may eventually illuminate new approaches and strategies to optimize the energetic mind–body crosstalk that is the basis of human health.
The body–mind unit
Human beings are both body and mind. We know our existence through our conscious, subjective experience of the world around us, i.e., what we experience in our mind. And, as far as we know, the essential condition for having a mind in the first place is having a living brain and body. Thus, the mind and body are two expressions of the same creature.
For further evidence that mind and body are interlinked, let us consider a few examples. The fear of speaking in public, within seconds, makes your heart race and your blood pressure rise; it activates the sweat glands in your clammy hands. For the athlete, the anticipation of the race alone is enough to flood the blood with powerful hormones (adrenaline, cortisol) that liberate and mobilize metabolites to fuel the energy needs of the upcoming challenge. The immune cells in your blood also are under emotional regulation of stress hormones released by the brain and endocrine glands, which trigger changes in the (epi)genome and dictate when and how genes are expressed. The mind, subjective as it is, regulates bodily biology and physiology.
On the other hand, processes within the body elicit subjective experiences. Our athlete again, now running and experiencing the burning of acidity in their contracting muscle, begins to experience the discomfort and anxiety of losing the race. Other interoceptive processes – afferent input signals informing the brain of peripheral processes – shape our feelings, moods and emotions. Air hunger – a blocked trachea making us run out of oxygen – triggers panic within seconds. Pain likewise modulates how energetic and optimistic we feel about the future. The body, as objectively biological as it is, shapes the mind. Mind and body are linked by a two-way stream.
But a stream of what? The mind–body unit is a two-way stream of energy, transformed from one form to another. It carries information, from one place to another, connecting cells and organs to one another into a coherent whole. Without energy animating the body, living beings are merely an agglutination of a few trillion inanimate cells – with their genomes, proteins and metabolites frozen in time. But animated by energy, the body is enlivened and gives rise to the mind: feelings and emotions, thoughts, ideas, hopes and love. The mind–body connection is an energetic one, and examining how this connection arises at the subcellular level can bring new insights into the forces and mechanisms that sustain human health.
Energy-based information transfer between mind and body
Transmitting mind states into bodily states, and vice versa, is essential to life. But it requires energy. In fact, keeping the brain and body alive consumes the biggest share of our daily energy budget (called basal metabolic rate). Although a relatively small organ, the brain is energivorous. It consumes large quantities of energy to process, anticipate (and occasionally ruminate), plan and regulate physiological functions. Carrying information to and from the brain via nerves and hormones involves the transmission of action potentials, the synthesis, release, reuptake and degradation of neurotransmitters, the sprouting and pruning of synapses, the regulation of genes, etc. At every step in our biology, molecular operations underlying brain–body communication consume precious energy.
But energy flow doesn’t just keep us alive; it makes us who we are. Energy powers ion pumps, enzymes, ribosomes and molecular motors in our neurons, glands and muscles. In turn, these activities underlie our behaviours. Studies in animals show that altering energy transformation alone changes how animals behave and respond to stress. Imagine for an instant interacting with the same person when their energy level are low (in a food-deprived state, late at night, after having ran a marathon) or high (well rested, at a mid-morning brunch, after a cup of coffee). The interaction is not the same experience. Our decisions are also shaped by our physiological, energetic state. Energy flow shapes social behaviours – in humans and in animals.
From sun to cells
In addition to influencing our behaviours, energy flow generates body heat and keeps us warm. Where does the warmth and energy come from? Ultimately, of course, it comes from the sun (Figure 1). Energy from the nuclear fusion of hydrogen in our closest star, the sun, is projected and beamed down to Earth as photons – a form of electromagnetic radiation. The photons’ energy is then absorbed by pigmented chloroplasts in leafy plants and trees and used to do the thermodynamically improbable. Chloroplasts condense atmospheric carbon dioxide into starch, fruits and vegetables, expelling molecular oxygen in the process and releasing it into the air. The photons’ energy thus becomes trapped in new carbon–carbon bonds of food and also ‘stored’ in the chemical possibility that oxygen and carbon atoms may reunite again (the technical term is electronegativity, which refers to the tendency of oxygen to attract shared electrons when forming a chemical bond). The sun’s energy is thus stored in the separation of oxygen from the food’s carbon. Should we wish to unleash the sun’s energy and heat, all we need is something to set off the exergonic reaction reuniting carbon and oxygen.
How so? Just heat up a piece of wood sufficiently and voilà! Oxygen jumps onto the trapped carbon–carbon bonds of the wood with sufficient vigour that it steals an electron, releases heat and a flame arises. Rapidly, the released energy ignites neighbouring molecules into a chain reaction. We call this chain reaction fire. In the process, both the carbon bonds of the wood and the oxygen from the air are ‘consumed’ – finally rejoined and returned into carbon dioxide (CO2). The other main product of this reaction is heat – large amounts of heat, released at times destructively, and always together with light. Thus, the heat and light of the sun radiate from the flame, liberated from organic matter by the action of oxygen.
But there is another way to unleash the sun’s energy without burning yourself – an ingenious way evolved by aerobic cells on Earth. This way is as follows: first, break down carbon-based food substrates to small manageable sizes (usually 2-3 carbons in length). Then pull out, one by one, the electrons that make up the carbon–carbon bonds, and load these electrons onto special carriers (called reducing equivalents). Then have a series of metal ions strategically arranged into a kind of electric cable (called the electron transport chain) to carry these electrons from the carriers to their most desired destination – the one they have been longing for ever since captured by a green leaf: oxygen. The electronegativity of molecular oxygen, coupled with free electrons, creates this almost unimaginable drive – a thermodynamic gradient, giving rise to an electric (i.e., electron flowing) current. The trick here is to capture the energy from the flow of electrons down the electron transport chain and turn it into something that can power life.
Turning raw energy into complexity in mitochondria
Life is complex and requires many different kinds of molecular operations. If energy was transformed into only one kind of operation, then life would be limited by this simplicity, even if large amounts of carbon-electron-oxygen energy were available. The key then is to transform the electron flow into a kind of malleable or highly versatile energy form, one that can be used to power dozens, hundreds or thousands of different molecular operations. This is accomplished by energizing the proteins that hold the electron transport chain’s ‘metal wire’ into doing something masterful. To achieve this, the closely interacting proteins are embedded into a special fluid membrane called the inner mitochondrial membrane. The electron flow is then coupled to the pumping across the membrane of the smallest and simplest imaginable element in the universe – the proton (H+).
The proton is a hydrogen (number one in the periodic table of the elements, used in the stars for nuclear fusion) without an electron. Coupling the quantum flow of electrons to the translocation of protons across the 5-nm membrane gap generates a powerful force – an electrochemical gradient called the mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm + ΔpH). This force stands at ∼16,000,000 volts/m, an order of magnitude larger than that of a lightning bolt. It is like having a formidable battery in your pocket (in fact in each of your cells) to power your phone, flashlight, laptop, car and anything that works with electricity. By pulling electrons from carbon substrates, creating a path for their reunification with oxygen and extracting energy from chemistry, food is turned into a versatile, flexible form of energy that can power complex, multicellular life. In this process, heat is naturally generated, and perhaps also small amounts of sunlight as biophotons.
In your body, this magnificent sequence of events turning condensed sun energy into membrane potential and electricity takes place in a special organelle – a ‘cellular organ’ called the mitochondrion. Each cell in our body contains hundreds to thousands of mitochondria, depending on how much energy they consume. Mitochondria are dynamic organelles that move around, fuse and interact with each other, occasionally moving from one part of the cell to another and even between cells, sensing and signalling information about the metabolic state of the organism. They have two membranes: one outer membrane that encapsulates their >1,300 different proteins and compartmentalizes their operations from the rest of the cell; and the special inner membrane where the electron transport chain sits, and where oxygen pulls on electrons to charge the mitochondrion.
With their membrane potential (referring to the energy potential to perform work), mitochondria indeed perform dozens of molecular functions. The precious transmembrane charge is used to import hundreds of proteins from the cytoplasm, to uptake signalling ions such as calcium and sodium, to import metabolic substrates to feed the electron carriers, and to metabolize neurotransmitters and hormones. This includes all of the sex and stress hormones that make new life possible (e.g., estradiol, progesterone) and that the mind can request to fueld the stress response (e.g., cortisol). Energized mitochondria also synthesize the building blocks needed to make DNA and replicate the nuclear genome, produce signalling molecules including reactive oxygen species that modulate the expression of genes in the nucleus, and synthesize iron–sulphur clusters and haeme molecules without which our cells cannot survive. Importantly, an impressive turbine and rotor-like component (the F0F1 ATP synthase) embedded in the inner membrane can harness, on demand, the membrane potential to synthesize adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP is one of the chemical intermediates or cellular energy ‘currency’ that carries energy throughout the cell. ATP is also relatively versatile and used widely to power the pumps, enzymes, ribosomes and motors within our axons, glands and other organs that connect mind and body processes.
The mind–mitochondria connection and mitochondrial psychobiology
The cross-talk of mind and body as a coherent unit shapes and colours our daily experiences and our health. As we have seen, this cross-talk requires energy – transformed from chemistry to psychobiology within our mitochondria. The energy flow described earlier is universally shared across breathing creatures. Conscious minds of variable levels of sophistication, therefore, depend on the energetic interface between molecular operations of cells and organelles and the subjective aspects of our human experiences.
Most researchers in the life and biomedical sciences share the common goal to understand the functioning of living organisms and to use that knowledge to improve human and planetary health. How can the above integrative understanding of energy flow on Earth and in the human mind–body unit be harnessed in research?
This integrative energy-centric understanding creates a framework to think about health. This framework is the foundation for an emerging discipline based on bioenergetic principles and focused on elucidating mind–body processes: mitochondrial psychobiology. This discipline is concerned with how bioenergetic processes within mitochondria relate to specific aspects of the human experience, including moods and emotions, psychosocial factors including social connections, stress and trauma, psychopathology and positive psychological states, among others. Understanding the energetic basis of mind–body processes can have at least three positive effects on the health sciences.
First, the energetic connection of all living things and of the body–mind unit provides an empirical foundation to appreciate the interconnectedness of things in the world. It reminds us how fundamentally interdependent we exist with plants and other living organisms, including other humans who breathe and eat the same sun-derived air and food. Second, because energy flow must be constantly sustained, it helps us appreciate health as a dynamic process. This in turn provides the theoretical foundation to build increasingly accurate causal frameworks discerning what is upstream and primary (energy and communication processes) from what is downstream and secondary (molecular pathology, accumulation of damage) in the chain of events linking energy, cells, minds and health. Third, an energetic framework may eventually illuminate approaches and strategies to nourish the energetic mind–body connection, and thus optimize health across the lifespan. Applied broadly, an energetic framework of mitochondrial psychobiology has the potential to guide research and uncover new ways to ensure that every person can reach their full health potential.
Mapping the instructive role of energy flow in human health is the task, challenge and opportunity ahead for the evolving field of mitochondrial psychobiology.

Letter to Caroline Shöler, July 14, 1849
|Author(s)||Jenny von Westphalen|
|Written||14 July 1849|

Translated: Peter and Betty Ross
To Caroline Shöler in Cologne
My dear Lina,
You will have received my two letters from Trier and will have seen from them that on this occasion I did not feel at ease there. Everything has changed too much there and one does not, of course, always remain the same oneself. I felt an intense nostalgia for Paris and so, together with all my baggage, I returned posthaste via Air and Brussels; we got back here last Saturday, fit and well. I found very pretty, convenient lodgings in a salubrious district where we have already set up house, including kitchen, quite cosily.
At this moment Paris is splendid and luxurious in the extreme. The aristocracy and bourgeoisie suppose themselves safe since the ill-starred 13th of June and the fresh victories their party has won. On the 14th all the grandees, together with their carriages and their liveried retainers, were already creeping out of the holes in which they had been hiding and thus the marvellous streets are awash with magnificence and splendour of every description. Paris is a gorgeous city. How often during the past few days have I not wished you were here beside me as, filled with admiration and amazement, I walked along streets that were alive with people. Once we have settled in properly you must pay us a visit here and see for yourself how lovely it is.
Until 15 August we shall remain in these lodgings which, however, are too dear for us to stay in for any length of time. In Passy, a very pretty place an hour's distance from Paris, we have been offered a whole cottage with garden, 6-10 rooms, elegantly furnished throughout, and having four beds, at the unbelievable rent of eleven thalers a month. If it were not too remote we should remove there at once.
We have still not made up our minds whether we should have our things sent or not. So I shall have to make yet further calls upon your kindness and good nature.
Could you not find out from Johann and my packing-case maker, Hansen [Kunibert], approximately how many cwt. the whole amounts to, i.e. including only one of the boxes of books, No. 4, and how much it costs to transport a cwt. from Cologne to Paris? That would enable us to make an estimate of sorts. Before winter sets in you would in any case have to unpack out of the trunks and dispatch to me here some of the linen, clothing, etc. I shall be sending you further details later on. Johann would be of very great service to you in this.
At the end of August our things will have to be removed from the place where they are now. Perhaps you could have a word with Johann or Faulenbach about cheap storage for them later on. These are all very tiresome affairs, but unavoidable in view of our vagabond existence. I am only sorry that I should have to place this additional burden on you, the more so since you yourself will surely have had a great deal to arrange and see to of late. For I feel sure that your next dear letter will bring me the joyous tidings of Bertha's marriage. Whether that day is already past or whether it is yet to come, do please convey to her my most cordial wishes for her future prosperity and happiness. I wish it were within my power to make you all really happy and more than anything else I should like to see you, my dear Lina, as cheerful and contented as you deserve and have every right to be, considering the many
cares troubles and disappointed expectations that have already clouded and embittered your young life. Rest assured that in me you will always find a loyal and loving friend.
I shall not write anything about politics today. There is no telling what may happen to a letter.
My dear husband sends you his warm regards and wonders whether you could, perhaps, find out from Stein, the banker in the neumarkt, or from his mother, etc, etc., the address of Jung, the assessor, and then forward the enclosed letter to him, the matter is one of some urgency. I am not franking these letters because the franking office is much too far away—I beg you not to frank your letters either and, in fact, to get yourself a cash book for your outlays on my behalf. If you fail to keep strict accounts, I shall have to have recourse to coercive measures.
The children, who can hardly open their eyes wide enough to take in all these marvels, often babble about their dear Aunt Lina and send you their love, so does Lenchen, qui est toujours la meme.
My love to your sisters, to Roland et femme and to the Eschweilers should you happen to see them, etc., etc.

5 limiting habits to get rid of in 2022
It’s no secret that to achieve our goals, we need to eliminate any limiting habits that are holding us back. If you want to make the rest of 2022 the year that you finally achieve your dreams, you’ll need to start by removing these five critical factors. Many people find it difficult to break free from their bad habits, but with a little effort and determination, it can be done. So, if you’re ready to take your life to the next level, keep reading for more information on achieving this goal.
1. Get rid of the habit of procrastination
If you’re someone who often puts off important tasks until the last minute, then it’s time to break this habit. Procrastination can prevent you from reaching your full potential and achieving your goals. Learning how to manage your time effectively to get things done promptly is essential. In the business world, time is money. Hence, when hiring workers, companies always prefer those who are punctual and don’t procrastinate. Getting things done on time will impress your boss and help you move up the corporate ladder.
2. Stop making excuses
If you find yourself making excuses for your behaviour or inaction. Making excuses will only hold you back from achieving your goals. If you’re not taking action towards your goals, then it’s time to ask yourself why. Is there something that’s holding you back? If so, what can you do to overcome it? In the case of employees, making excuses is often a sign that they’re not meeting their potential. If you want to be successful, you must learn to take responsibility for your actions and stop making excuses.
3. Get rid of negative thinking
One of the most common limiting factors is negative thinking. Employees bogged down by negative thoughts are less likely to be productive and successful. If you want to achieve your goals, you need to learn how to think positive thoughts. When hiring new employees, look for individuals who have a positive attitude. These types of people are more likely to be successful in the workplace. Therefore, if you want to be successful, it’s essential to surround yourself with positive people.
4. Quit comparisons
Comparing yourself to others is a surefire way to limit your success. When you compare yourself to others, you only set yourself up for disappointment. Instead of comparing yourself to others, focus on your unique talents and abilities. For example, if you’re an artist, don’t compare your work to that of a famous painter. Instead, focus on your unique style and approach. By doing this, you’ll be able to appreciate your work better and find success on your terms.
5. Get rid of perfectionism
Perfectionism is another common habit that can limit your success. If you’re a perfectionist, you’re probably familiar with the feeling of never being good enough. This can lead to frustration and a feeling of inadequacy. Instead of striving for perfection, focus on doing your best. Remember, many factors contribute to success, and perfection is not one of them. So, to be successful, learn to accept imperfection and move on.
These are just a few of the many limiting habits you need to eliminate to achieve your goals. If you’re ready to make the rest of 2022 the year you finally achieve your dreams, it’s time to start by breaking free from these five critical aspects. With a little effort and determination, you can achieve anything you set your mind to. So, what are you waiting for? Get started today and make your dreams a reality.

Use of language extensions
Haskell compilers are full of experimental features. However, when it comes to designing libraries one should carefully think about which extensions to use and which not. Every required language extension and every imported library which on its own depends on such an extension, causes some of the following problems:
- The use of a language extension might indicate a design flaw! Sometimes you write an incorrect program and the compiler suggests to use a language extension to resolve that. It is a quick fix to solve the problem by enabling the extension, but if you do not understand the implications, you run into problems later. See e.g. List instance, Overlapping instance.
- It limits the range of Haskell compilers you can use.
- According to the availability of compilers on different platforms, it will also limit the range of machines it can be run on.
- It complicates the installation, if a user has to install a particular compiler to use your library.
- Many extensions are complicated enough to produce even more incomprehensible error messages, than errorneous Haskell 98 programs.
- Even with the same compiler, in a year or two your code might need fixing if the extension or implementation is sufficiently experimental (for example, the rules for what type-signatures GADTs require, has changed from GHC 6.4 to 6.6 to 6.8 to 6.10). People who depend on your library may be impatient to upgrade to the newest version of GHC.
We suggest the following hierarchy of complexity with respect to types:
- Simple algebraic types
- H98 type classes
- Fancier instance heads (but still single-parameter, non-overlapping)
- Existential and local universal quantification
- GADTs (I'm still uncertain about this judgement, but they seem to be less troublesome than...)
- Multiparameter type classes with functional dependencies
- Multi-parameter type classes including undecidable instances, overlapping instances
- Template Haskell
We recommend to explicitly switch on language extensions that are needed using the LANGUAGE pragma
instead of switching them on all at once using the
-fglasgow-exts compiler flag.

Argentina is a nation of “wealthy misery”. Wealthy misery, a term meant to explain the unique situation in which a country gifted with abundant natural resources, territory, and a suitable amount of population finds itself in the precarious political and unstable economic state that Argentina now finds itself in.
Argentina, despite having the fourth largest shale oil and gas reserves in the world, is not self-sufficient in that sector and requires imports of foreign oil. This fact is representative of the nation’s inability to utilize its resources, a situation worsened by the corrupt Kirchner administrations, who were elected out of office in 2015 but have since been re-elected after President Mauricio Macri‘s failure to undo their mistakes, as well as having several of his own. His loss, especially the margin of it, sent ripples of anxiousness all over Argentina’s markets, and its traditional rival Brazil (itself in the middle of a tumultuous time) claimed superior economic power over Argentina. But what exactly did the Kirchners do?
For one, corruption became the law of the land. An episode involving a taxi driver who delivered bribes (all recorded in his notebook), including a couple to President Cristina Kirchner‘s house, and later turned himself in and presented his notebooks to officials came to be known as the Notebook Scandal. The fact that despite clear evidence for wrongdoing Kirchner was still able to get herself elected as vice-president on a ticket in which she was the dominant force suggests fanaticism and/or even more corruption and bribery.
This fanaticism has actually polarized the country, with the infamous youth movement La Campora (headed by Kirchner’s son, Maximo Kirchner) comparable to the reputedly violent Antifa. You will find La Campora’s presence almost everywhere in Argentina; as you drive, you will see houses proudly displaying their emblem, and in conversation, you might find yourself listening to a native Argentine complaining about the group’s behavior. Many even blame them for the notorious traffic jams caused by protests in Buenos Aires’s Playa de Mayo.
To pile on to these problems, some attribute the aforementioned inflation to the Kirchners (Cristina Kirchner’s husband Nestor Kirchner was also president). When Cristina Kirchner succeeded her husband as president in 2007, one US dollar was worth 3 Argentine pesos. When she left, however, in 2015, it was worth 9 pesos. This pattern gradually continued under President Macri, of the opposing party, until 2017, when one US dollar was worth 15 pesos. After that, the peso’s worth in comparison to the dollar plunged, and as of November 2019, one US dollar is worth almost 60 pesos.
And while it may be fair to put some of the blame on her successor, it should be noted that many financial experts have suggested that the economic policies of her time set the stage for the rampant inflation that came to define Macri’s time in office. If the future seemed dim when people thought Macri would win reelection, its a gaping mouth of darkness under the leadership of the Kirchner dynasty.

Long nails can make walking unpleasant for your corgi. But sometimes trimming the claws of a corgi requires careful planning for perfect execution.
So, how do you trim your corgi’s nails?
There are various steps involved in trimming the nails of corgis. Some of them include knowing when to clip, choosing the trimming tool, getting the dog comfortable, and much more.
The essence of these steps is to ensure that both the dog and the owner experience little or no discomfort throughout the trimming process.
If you are trimming your corgi’s nails for the first time, or you are not sure you’ve been doing it right, this is for you. In this article, we compile a complete guide on how to trim corgi nails.
When to Trim Your Corgi’s Nails
Generally, you should trim your corgi’s nails when they grow long enough to touch the ground. However, corgi nails do not always grow outward. Sometimes, corgi nails grow inward – into the paw pads of the dog. And when they do, they can hurt your dog pretty bad, so you have to trim.
When corgi nails grow into the paw pad, you may hear some clacking noise as the dog walks. When you do, it is time to trim the dog’s nails.
What You Need to Trim Your Corgi’s Nails
The primary tool you need to trim the nail of a corgi is a nail trimmer. Depending on the dog’s size and your preference, you may get a scissor-style nail trimmer or a large nail clipper.
For smaller dogs, scissor-style nail clippers are recommended. For medium to large-sized dogs, large nail clippers are recommended. Of course, since corgis are generally small-sized, scissor-style nail clippers are perfect for them.
If you are not too comfortable with nail trimmers, you can get a nail grinder. With a nail grinder, you can trim nails and add finishing touches too.
Ensure you opt for high-quality trimmers and grinders. The experience with products of lower quality may not be pleasant for you or your corgi.
You may need something to stop bleeding in case you trim the nail excessively. For this purpose, you should have a clotting powder such as styptic powder, benzocaine, cornstarch, or baking soda around when trimming the nails of your corgi.
Getting Your Corgi Comfortable
You never know; your corgi may have had an unpleasant experience with nail trimming. Consequently, it may be skittish or aggressive when you try to trim its nails.
Obviously, if your corgi acts out, you will have a hard time trying to trim its nails. But to avoid this, get the corgi comfortable with the process. Even if your dog shows no sign of fear for the nail trimming process, you should make it comfortable with the procedure.
How to Make Your Corgi Comfortable With Nail Trimming
Follow these steps over 7 days:
- On the first day, present the nail trimmer or grinder to the corgi. Let it feel and sniff the tool, then praise it or give it a treat.
- The following day, touch each one of the corgi’s paws with the trimmer or grinder. Then squeeze the trimmer so that it hears the clipping sound. If it’s a grinder, switch the grinder on and let the dog feel the vibration. Afterward, praise the dog or give it a treat.
- On the third day, touch the paws of the corgi with the grinder or trimmer again. Then reward it with a treat or praise it.
- Try to trim just the tiniest bit off the tip of one of the front paw nails. Do just one nail and offer treats and praises if the dog responds positively.
- Try repeating the step from the previous day on two nails.
- Keep going and trimming one more nail each day.
- Keep practicing or simulating the trimming process on your corgi until it gets very comfortable with the procedure.
Getting a Nervous or Aggressive Corgi to Cooperate While Trimming Its Nails
If you cannot get your nervous corgi to cooperate with you while trimming its nails, you may get someone to help you restrain it gently. Gentle restraint could feature distractions. Such distractions could be a treat like peanut butter or a conversation with the dog.
If the dog is aggressive, you may have to train it to wear a muzzle. So, whenever you intend to trim its nails, put the muzzle on its face so that it does not bite you.
Trimming Corgi Nails
Once you’ve gotten the corgi to let you trim its nails, move on to trimming its nails. But before you start clipping your corgi nails, ensure you know how much you can cut.
Clip the nails excessively, and the dog may bleed. This will be painful, and the corgi may never want to get its nails trimmed again.
Where to Trim?
Knowing where to trim off your corgi’s nails is pretty straightforward if they are light. However, if the nails are dark or black, you have to be extra careful.
Generally, when trimming the nails of a corgi, do not trim beyond the quick.
The quick is a tissue inside the nail of a dog’s claw. It contains veins and nerves. As expected, if you cut it, the dog will bleed and feel pain.
If you are lucky, your corgi will have white, clear, or light-colored nails. With these nails, it is pretty easy to figure out the location of the quick. The quick appears as a pinkish or reddish area from around the center of your dog’s nails downwards.
For the sake of safety, stop just below the level of quick when trimming your corgi’s nails.
With darker nails, figuring out the location of the quick is a bit complicated. You may not spot a pinkish or reddish color through the darkened nails.
Still, you may try spotting a small dark circle around the center of the nail downwards. If you spot this, that should be the quick.
If you look beneath the dark nails of your corgi’s paws, you may also find a chalky white ring. This ring also indicates the location of the quick.
However, if you cannot spot the quick visually, trim the nails little by little. After each little trim, lift the corgi’s paw gently and examine the center of the nail head-on. If you notice a tiny dark circle at the center of the nail, that is the quick; do not clip it.
How to Trim?
To trim the nails of your corgi with a nail clipper, do the following:
- Since corgis are typically small, you can place them in your arms while trimming their nails.
- Hold your corgi’s paw between your thumb and forefinger, gently but firmly.
- Raise your forefinger and thumb in a way that extends the nails. Then take a look underneath each to locate the quick.
- Place the clipper at the edge of the nail at a 45-degree angle and trim straight across.
- Clip only the tip of the nail each time. Stop when you are just below the quick.
Trimming the nails of your corgi with a nail grinder involves pretty much the same steps as when you use a nail clipper. Still, these tips should help you get the best outcomes:
- Grind small portions of the nails at a time to avoid hitting the quick.
- You will get better control of the grinder if you hold it closer to the tip. If you can control the grinding tool better, you can make it more comfortable for your corgi.
- Since corgis are typically hairy, pay attention so that your dog’s hair does not get caught in the grinder.
- Always pay attention to your corgi’s sensitivities and try to make the experience more pleasant. This applies to both clippers and grinders.
What Should I Do if My Corgi’s Nails Start Bleeding? (What Should I Do if I Cut the Quick?)
If you end up cutting your corgi’s nail quick by mistake, and it starts to bleed, do not fret. Instead, dip the bleeding nail in styptic powder or cornstarch.
Styptic powder or cornstarch will stop the bleeding and clog the punctured blood vessels to keep microbes out so the wound may not readily get infected. Nonetheless, you should let a vet see the injury just to be sure.
After tending to the wound, calm the dog down so that it does not worsen the injury. You may offer it some treats to keep it calm and less stressed.
If the cut is significant, styptic powder and cornstarch may not stop the bleeding. In this case, apply a lot of pressure to the wound (you could use a tourniquet). Then get the dog to a vet immediately.
What Will Happen if I Do Not Trim My Corgi’s Nails Regularly?
- The primary downside to irregular nail trimming is pain. If the nails overgrow, walking may become painful for your corgi.
- Overgrown nails reduce your corgi’s traction. Consequently, it may slip and fall easily.
- Long nails may turn your corgi’s healthy feet into splayed feet. In the long run, the dog’s paw may become deformed. Also, the joints and tendons may get injured.
- Since regular trimming can cause the quick to draw inward, irregular care leaves it more accessible. Having the quick recede is preferred since it makes clipping easier. Besides making trimming easier, a short quick is less prone to injuries.

Stroke and dementia researcher to speak in Queenstown
For immediate release: 7 February 2014
THE NEUROLOGICAL FOUNDATION PRESENTS FREE PUBLIC LECTURE IN QUEENSTOWN:
Brain countdown: Can we prevent stroke and delay dementia?
The Neurological Foundation of New Zealand is pleased to present a free public lecture in Queenstown by world-leading neurologist Professor Vladimir Hachinski, a pioneer in the study of stroke and dementia.
One of the greatest advances in the understanding of brain disorders comes from the realisation that Alzheimer’s disease and vascular cognitive impairment (impairment caused by strokes) share common risk factors. This realisation opens the door to a common prevention and treatment approach to both, and promises that if vascular risk factors are controlled, then not only strokes but also cognitive impairment could be prevented.
Leading significant research in this field, Professor Hachinski coordinates a group involved in experimental, clinical and population studies in the prevention of stroke and the delay of Alzheimer’s disease. In this lecture, Professor Hachinski will discuss his four-decade research and clinical observations, and outline the critical factors that will pave the way to future therapeutic and prevention strategies.
In 1975 Professor Hachinski pioneered with neurologist Professor John W Norris the first successful acute stroke unit globally, and this model has become the international standard of care for stroke patients. These specialised treatment units, now in operation in hospitals around the world, save lives and prevent complications for thousands of stroke patients every year.
Professor Hachinski is past President of the World Federation of Neurology, and belongs to the Order of Canada, the country’s highest award.
Monday 24 February 2014
Time: 6:00pm – 7:30pm
Venue: Queenstown Memorial Centre, 1 Memorial Street, Queenstown
NO BOOKINGS REQUIRED. PLEASE ARRIVE EARLY TO SECURE SEATING. PARKING ON-SITE.
The Neurological Foundation is an independent body and charitable trust and its funding has facilitated many of New Zealand’s top neuroscientists’ pioneering breakthroughs. For further information, visit www.neurological.org.nz

The History of the Cross of Lorraine
29 SEP 2017
The Cross of Lorraine, often referred to in contemporary times as the patriarchal cross, is a Christian cross bearing two horizontal lines over a single vertical line. These horizontal lines, originally equal in length, developed into a shorter top horizontal line over a longer bottom horizontal line. The symbol originated in Asia in the first millennium, traveling to Europe and becoming popular through usage by many different groups.
1 Origins of an Iconic Image
According to the University of Delaware, the double-beamed cross was used by Christian groups in Asia the ninth century. Later, it was adopted by the Duke of Lorraine on his standard when fighting the Muslims in the First Crusade. In the 12th century, the Hungarians minted their coins with the Cross of Lorraine, and the eastern Christians believed it to be the true representation of the cross of Jesus Christ. During the 14th and 15th centuries the cross became known as the Cross of Lorraine because of its adoption and popular use by the second House of Anjou in Lorraine, France.
2 World War I
The United States 79th Infantry Division adopted the Cross of Lorraine as its insignia. During World War I the 79th Infantry Division fought solely in Lorraine, France. Prior to its deployment to Europe, the division was known as the “Liberty Division” in the United States. The symbol was suggested by Major General Joseph E. Kuhn to represent both victory and freedom for both the French and Americans, and was approved by General Headquarters shortly after World War I ended.
3 World War II
Although France was occupied by Nazi Germany during most of World War II, Free France forces organized under General Charles de Gaulle in England. Free France Navy leader, Vice Admiral Emile Musilier, designed the Free France forces flag using a red Lorraine Cross against a blue background. The word “honneur” -- honor -- is to the left of the cross in gold, and the word “patrie” -- homeland -- is on the right. The cross was formally recognized as the symbol of Free France in June, 1941.
4 International Union Against Tuberculosis
In 1902 the International Tuberculosis Congress decided that the prevalence and rapid spread of the disease required a concerted effort across the world to end tuberculosis, and likened this plan to a war. Upon further discussion, it was deemed necessary to have a recognizable symbol for people to recognize and associate with the fight against tuberculosis, much like a battle standard. Dr. Gilbert Seciron, the delegate from Lorraine, France, proposed the Lorraine Cross because of its association with French victories. As of 2011, the International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease and the American Lung Association still use the Lorraine Cross.

1. Find a Routine
If you have flexible hours with your work you might find certain times of day more productive than others and you can scheduled your time accordingly. Try to include regular start/finish times to ensure work doesn’t creep in to your personal time.
I’ll mention exercise again later but this should form part of your routine for both your physical and mental health.
2. Set up your work station
Often our work stations at home aren’t nearly as well set-up as our office stations. Don’t forget your ergonomics at home. If you work from home on a laptop make sure the top of the screen is at your eye height when you are sitting (or standing if you have a standing option), this might mean connecting a different keyboard so your wrists and elbows can be in a neutral alignment.
Make sure you have a comfortable chair and your feet can rest on the floor or a footstool so that your knees are just below hip height.
3. Take breaks
Taking breaks at home can be easier to do than when at work. If you are someone who gets into a task and forgets to take breaks then set a reminder on your computer or phone.
Perhaps stick a picture of some easier stretches or exercises you can do within eyesight to remind you. Drink water so you are reminded to get up for toilet breaks!
4. Keep in-contact
Do allocate time to speak to colleagues, family, friends and check-in. We are all in this together after all! Use email, phone, video chat where ever possible to reduce the isolation of working from home.
With a need to change our regular routines try to brainstorm how you can get some form of exercise into your day – every day! If you can get outside to walk or run for 30 minutes each day or do 20 minutes of exercises in your house.
It doesn’t have to be complicated – just simple things like squats, lunges, calf raises, press-ups against a wall or bench and some leg and upper body stretches are good for keeping the blood flowing and some endorphins pumping around our body. See if you can tune into an exercises class from home.

Getting Started with Disc Golf
Just about anybody can play disc golf. To get started you’ll need a golf disc which is specifically designed for distance and accuracy. These can be hired at some disc golf courses or purchased from disc golf clubs and online stores. You can of course play with any type of flying disc such as a standard Frisbee®, an Aerobie® flying ring or an Ultimate disc, but you’ll find golf discs provide a good mix of distance and accuracy that no other type of disc can offer.
You can play disc golf with a single disc, but we highly recommend that new players grab a “starter pack” which usually contains 3 discs for less than $50. These packs will contain:
- A putter: designed for shots close to the basket (high accuracy, less distance)
- A mid-range: bridges the gap between a putter and a driver providing moderate distance throws with reasonable accuracy.
- A driver: designed for maximum distance for throws off the tee or long shots up the fairway (long distance, less accurate)
Here are just some of the different companies that manufacture disc golf products: Innova, Discraft, Latitude64, Dynamic Discs, RPM, MVP, Discmania, Fourth Circle Discs and most have a starter pack available for new players. Once you are hooked on disc golf, you will look to increase your selection of discs and may consider a disc golf bag to carry your discs around.
After you have a disc, you’ll need somewhere to play. You can make up your own “object” course in a park using trees, signs and other objects as targets, but established courses with baskets are definitely more fun. There are more than 80 courses around Australia – check out http://flyspot.com.au to find one near you. Most are free to play but some will charge a small fee to play to cover upkeep and maintenance of the course. Regardless of where you play, we ask all new players to make themselves familiar with the sporting code of conduct.
If you want to learn more about disc golf, have a look at videos on YouTube or come along to a social day and meet up with other players. Experienced players are always willing to help out new players as we were all there once before.

Actually, in medium-sized rooms that are y x y x 5-12 blocks high, a chandelier wouldn't look so bad. But this is way too limited, because torchlight doesn't actually reach that far. You could harvest glowstone from the nether or just light the area up with netherrack and flint and steel. Again, inefficient since fire hurts and glowstone is tough to collect. really needs to put in more forms of lighting.
A series of concentric squares, using either lava topped with glass, as in the torch + glass suggestion, or glowstone. This would give you enough room to play with redstone without interruption (and if you do suffer from interruption, just break the piece and replace it with your floor material.) and I think that would work well.
Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
My Grandmother passed away on Sunday, the 7th of August, 2011. I am taking an extended leave of absence in light of this. My apologies.
Okay I kindaish lied. My stupid MOCD (minecraftOCD) kicked in and I had to replace the dirt with smoothstone (Still not finished with it yet) But Im just placing smooth stone on the ceiling in the corners and above the 4 torches (WIP). Thanks for the help guys.
I use glowstone, actually. It's brighter than any other material and has a wider radius.
Do this in your ceiling:
<Upper layer of ceiling (All stone)
<Bottom layer of ceiling (Stone with Lights)
And a view from the floor looking at the ceiling:
And so on. Make a checkerboard pattern with the glowstone embedded in your ceiling basically. It looks great and lights well. However, if you want to use torches, do a similar thing with blocks with torches attached on each side.
If done right, it looks great aesthetically (the glowstone).
A room lit with this technique. Open in new tab to see full size.

William Lazor, pastor of United Church of Christ Churchgoers, who commanded the first same-sex marriage at his church in 2006.
In the United States, there are over 300 acknowledged same-sex relationships in all 50 states. This suggests that a person of any sexual orientation can lawfully marry someone of the same sex in every state. The legal process for getting married is made complex, and it may not be much easier for some people. Furthermore, lots of states have their own rules about marriage licenses and how couples are classified in the eyes of state law. Gay Online Dating In Mansfield

Contributing writer, Jade Chen (Columbia University, Class of ’22), shares her white paper on how coworking spaces can be integral for hiring and retaining talent.
Over the past 10 years, the traditional concept of the workplace has been changing rapidly. WeWork, founded in 2010, is now the largest office lease tenant in New York City. The trend of agile/activity-based working (ABW) has proven to increase workers productivity across all levels within a company. Companies are turning towards creating desirable workplaces that appeal to employee values in order to captivate and retain qualified candidates.
In this paper, we discuss the various factors that affect how employees look for employers, how companies can attract and maintain productive employees, and why coworking is a popular option for the present and future workplace.
Part I: Defining the optimal values.
Below are the top 10 values for happiness on the job, as defined by Boston Consulting Group:
Appreciation for your work
- Good relationships with colleagues
- Good life-work balance
Good relationships with superiors
- Company’s financial stability
- Learning and career development
- Job security
- Attractive fixed salary
- Interesting job content
- Company values
Part II: Location, Culture, and how they are intertwined.
The Right Location:
Employees are not just focused on their careers anymore — they also want to broaden their life experiences and have an enriching personal life alongside their job. The geographic location of a company can improve job satisfaction since it defines the employee’s life experience both inside and outside of work.
Urban cities remain the most desired locations for work. A survey conducted by the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) found that the top 3 most appealing cities to work in were London, New York, and Paris. These urban cities are global centers that are well known for their cultural richness and business hubs. New York alone has 3 million foreign-born people, making it one of the biggest foreign-born populations of any city in the world. It is full of the cultural amenities that contribute to everyday satisfaction for employees — theaters, museums, concerts, live music, and more.
Companies located near convenient and accessible transportation will broaden their recruitment audience, attracting more talent from more areas. Having different transportation options open opportunities for employees to have an easier commute from more suburban and affordable areas. Being within close proximity of restaurants and markets also means employees can eat locally, helping to strengthen their connections with both their colleagues and the city.
Part III: Defining flexibility – what it means for companies and employees.
While urban locations may be on the pricier end of a budget, there are other options that can provide the same benefits of a great location at a more affordable price. Coworking spaces offer more flexible pricing options, allowing companies to pay monthly rents, or even purchase day passes.
Coworking spaces also take time and size flexibility into consideration when they rent spaces out to companies. They cater to many different sized companies, offering open desk options to freelancers, private offices for growth phase companies, and even dedicated floors for medium-sized companies. They are able to accommodate growth or downsizes flexibility, allowing companies to find pricing and size options that change along with the company needs. Additionally, employees are able to come in and out to work as they see fit, without strict hours that limit the accessibility of the office.
Flexibility is increasingly essential with more and more people requesting remote work. Among the 18,000 business professionals across 96 countries surveyed by Switzerland based serviced office provider IWG, 70% of professionals work remotely at least once a week, and 53% work remotely at least half of the week. The number of remote workers is increasing exponentially as people are finding more job satisfaction and productivity in working where they are comfortable.
While working remotely means an increase of freedom for employees, it also means working in isolation. Instead, a number of remote employees choose to work in coworking spaces, rather than home, for a more professional and social environment. Employees are able to escape the seclusion of individual work by having a network to have discussions and exchanges with. People are social beings, and having an office environment to interact in helps uplift mood and productivity. Companies experience a heightened level of creativity and productivity when working in the presence of other dedicated employees.
While coworking is very popular with freelancers, startups, and small businesses, larger companies are adopting the new work style too. Microsoft moved 30% of its sales department to coworking spaces, and Amazon’s Boston office is located inside coworking company WeWork. In 2017, HSBC rented out more than 300 open desks from coworking spaces in Hong Kong.
Part IV: Pulling it All Together; Creating the Optimal Workspace Culture
One of the top values that contribute to employee job satisfaction is an appreciation for one’s work. Unfortunately, many employees experience limited satisfaction due to the constraints of toxic work culture, a major factor of voluntary turnover. Increased stress levels, decreased mental and physical health, and low motivation is only some of the detriments of toxic work cultures. In fact, health care expenditures at high-pressure companies are nearly 50% greater than at other organizations, and stress is the reason for 80% of doctor visits today (Harvard Business Review). Creating a healthy work environment that encourages happiness and productivity on the job is just as important as attracting talented employees.
Well-being increases productivity
Concentrating on improving the general well-being and health of employees will have a direct impact on their productivity. Rather than providing material benefits, employees prefer to have an inspiring workplace culture where they can maintain a good work-life balance and build good relationships with their colleagues and superiors.
Research done at UMichigan shows that inspiring one another at work and emphasizing the meaningfulness of work helps boost morale. Offers like flex time provide employees the freedom and trust that allows them to create their best work in comfort. The opportunity to collaborate with others in a friendly and productive manner encourages the creativity and high-quality output that gives a sense of purpose to one’s work. Creating a team-oriented atmosphere eases the traditional hierarchy that may be constricting to those at the lower end of the spectrum, motivating individuals at different experience levels to do more than the bare minimum. Employees who feel comfortable consulting empathetic superiors will be more invested in their work, and more open to discussing creative ideas and solutions.
A workplace that emphasizes a strong sense of community and belonging sets up a desirable atmosphere and work ethic. Because the community is a core value, employees find that coworking boosts their mood and efficiency. Being surrounded by other companies generates a combination of energy, ambition, and drive that inspires employees towards creativity and productivity. A recent DeskMag survey found that 85% of people based in coworking spaces felt more motivated on the job.
The open environment allows employees to step away from internal politics and limits direct competition within a company. Employees don’t feel as if they have to put on a work persona to fit in and work from a traditional cubicle, making their work more distinctive and interesting. The option to work from different spaces throughout the day is good for staying focused, switching up workflows, and gaining new perspectives. The community environment encourages employees to get up and recharge when needed, and the group synergy helps employees effectively maximize both well-being and productivity.
Purposeful Office Design:
Office design is more than just an aesthetic. Though subtle, the physical workspace is the foundation for the office atmosphere even before employees step in. Making the right decisions can bring a noticeable boost to how an office functions.
An office with generous lighting will brighten up the space, and it can promote healthy sleep schedules. Employees will feel more comfortable in their environment, and the well-lit office can be key to stimulating energy and motivation. Choosing lighter colors for the office theme will have a similar effect, recreating the open and light ambiance of a rooftop space.
Placing plants around the office will introduce a subtle but effective calming agent to the environment. Greenery can help relieve eye strain and act as a natural break from the corporate atmosphere. A study conducted by Exeter University found that employees were 15% more productive in offices with plants, and 85% agreed that plants help decrease stress levels.
Now that we’ve finished breaking down different methodologies for hiring and retaining talented employees, we can see why the coworking industry has moved from being a trend to being an international phenomenon. Coworking has continuously met the needs of companies of all different sizes and is combining flexibility, productivity, community, and well-being into a unique culture appealing to employees today. More and more companies are adopting this as an office standard – optimizing the intersection of job satisfaction and employee productivity.

An Englishman’s Farewell to a Converzazione
Farewell the hour to panting poets dear,
When guests assembled grace the lighted room,
While Wit, and Taste, and fragrant tea appear,
And the broad sofa yields the Muses room!
Farewell the burnish’d stove’s reviving blaze,
Or softer radiance lent by lustres high,
To starry eyes which shun th’ enquirer’s gaze,
And cheeks whose blushes mean a kind reply.
Ah! who can tell the transports of that hour,
When licens’d hands the rich portfeuille unlock,
While dumb Attention claims her awful pow’r,
Till Night’s hoarse guardian growls, “Past ten o’clock.”
Then the soft whisper of suppress’d applause,
The half-spread fan, the retroverted chair,
The conscious smile, the still and solemn pause—
Ah! who can feel like those whose odes are there!
But when the sacred book majestic drops,
When the hush’d hammer gives no warning sound,
Swift as a torrent which no barrier stops,
How brightly rolls the stream of chit-chat round!
How rich, how balmy, to the fainting bard,
One drop of comfort from that stream to sip,
Or from his fair one’s hand to claim reward,
While praise and custard mingle on her lip.
Alas! for me that hour returns no more—
On me no nymph shall cast a favoring glance,
When the light Graces tempt th’ elastic floor,
And Phœbus drops his lyre—to call a dance.
Dire was that fatal night when o’er my head
Malignant Morpheus wav’d his poppy-rod,
Till from my brain Wit, Love, and Fancy fled,
And, shame to Britain—Ida saw me nod!
Yet, best lov’d Ida! hear a culprit plead,
Not unrelenting seal the dire decree;
Wit, Love, and Fancy, may excuse the deed,
For if I slept, I only dreamt of thee.
One long, long day, and half a tedious night,
In vain for tuneful syllables I sought;
I dipp’d my silver pen, but could not write,
And nought was all, and every thing was nought.
Then is it wondrous if when Ida smil’d,
When the soft murmurs of delight arose,
That balmy sleep my dazzled eyes beguil’d,
And steep’d my senses in a gentle doze?
Yet let me still in transient dreams enjoy
The bliss, the triumph that a poet feeds:
Celestial visions must the soul employ
Of him who slumbers while an angel reads.

We came across an interesting pen the other day, “in the wild”, which is to say in an antiques mall. Not exactly a beautiful pen: not in great condition, nor very valuable, in terms of dollar value. But a pen which is important for a couple of reasons.
Some Background: the Parkette Deluxe
The Parker “Parkette Deluxe” was originally issued in 1933. After the profitable heyday of the 1920s, many pen manufacturers had to make serious concessions to the new economic realities of the depression. Parker, always fairly nimble, issued several models at a much lower price point than the Duofold, and the Parkette was one of these.
The Duofold was steadfastly a button-fill fountain pen, and the now-famous Vacumatic was still in development. So, perhaps as a way of differentiating the line, the decision was made to issue a lever-fill pen—the first time Parker did so. The Parkette Deluxe was additionally distinct in initially having full-length fluting along both the barrel and cap. They were issued in celluloid, in four main colours: red, green, grey, & black.
It has been said that, when it comes to Parker, the only rule is that there are no rules. But when it comes to Canadian production, it sometimes seems as though the only rule was that all rules should be deliberately broken. Additionally, there is very little available in the way of contemporary documentation. As a result, the journey through Canadian pen variants can be a bit wild.
So, when Parker developed the lower-end depression-era pens, Parker Canada decided to issue an extra, undocumented, colour: what some have suitably dubbed “Copper Pearl”.
There are a few questions about this colour: Was it actually a colour proper, or just a discolouration of an existing, canonical colour? How long was it used? For what models was it used? The answers are often just guesswork.
Some Copper Pearl Evidence
Knowing these things, when we catch a glimpse of “Copper Pearl”, our interest perks up. And this one definitely caught our attention, for more than one reason.
The colour is one obvious reason. “Copper Pearl” without a doubt. But something was just not right; something an expert would see in a moment, but that would not necessarily be obvious to everyone. The barrel is fluted, and has the Parkette Deluxe imprint. However, the cap is just wrong. No fluting, fitting slightly too tight, and a totally incorrect clip configuration: it’s a Parkette Deluxe body with a Challenger cap stitched to it. A genuine ‘frankenpen’, but what a treasure-trove of information!
In one cobbled-together pen is evidence that, rather than being a mistake, a trial, or a discolouration, “Copper Pearl” was a genuine production colour out of Parker’s Toronto plant. This pen (or, more accurately: these pen parts) show that “Copper Pearl” was used in two models from the 1930s: the second form of the Parkette Deluxe (1934) and the Challenger (this cap is the earliest version, from 1934).
Of course, the more evidence there is, the bigger the resulting picture. And we do have a bit more.
Pencils Are Invited To This Party
Our introduction to “Copper Pearl” was not, actually a pen, but a pencil. Again, it was the unusual colour which caught our attention. We only learned later just how unusual the colour is.
When combined with the Parkette Deluxe body and Challenger cap, this pencil gives us a slightly wider view of the extent of the use of “Copper Pearl”. This pencil is the earliest version of the Parkette, with a band of white plastic at the finial, rather than gold-filled brass. This means that the use of this colour lasted through two versions of the model, lasting possibly throughout that production year. Far from a mistake, or sun damage!
A Final Detail
As a final note of esoteric interest, the nib on the Parkette Deluxe also breaks a few rules.
The nibs on these pens were issued with partial platinum plating, similar to Sheaffer’s two-toned nibs. Except in Canada, because we can.
A Lesson For Us All
It can be easy to diminish the value of pens which are incomplete, worn, or cobbled together from parts. And pencils, sad to say, often get ignored completely. But measuring the worth of artifacts like these—and they are, indeed, artifacts—by their collectible-market value alone is a mistake.
Likewise, it can be easy to assume that we—as an individual or a community—know all there is to know about any given aspect of pens and their manufacture. This, too, is a mistake.
Even eighty years after their manufacture, new understandings of pens, their manufacture, and marketing, are coming to light. Some speculations are put to rest, and others arise. Sometimes this can be a result of a lauded pen consigned by an important collector. But other times, it can come from a chance encounter with a quick-and-dirty repair job, of a pen in dubious condition, in an antique mall pen-pile.
The important thing is to keep looking, and then to keep thinking about what we see. And never to assume that everything is known.

This years NFL season will begin on Thursday, September 8, and end on Sunday, January 8, 2023. And the Super Bowl game is scheduled for February 12, 2023.

What is NFL football?
NFL Football is an oblong-shaped leather ball that gives its name to the league mentioned above. The ball is used for every play in the game and is monitored, and a regulation size is used in every competition.
The NFL is the National Football League established in the 1920s. The American Football League merged with the National Football League during the 1960s.
The width and length of the game at all levels of every football field in the country is the same! Approximately 53 yards wide, 100 yards from goal line to goal line. Also, 10 yards between the goal line and the end line!
NFL days include Sunday, Thursday, Monday, and sometimes the NFL consists of one or two games on Saturday. The coal is divided so there are games at three different times on Sundays, including 10:00/pst, 1:00/pst and 5:30/pst. The 5:30 game is called the Sunday night game, and it includes only one game, the big game of the week.
For Monday night games, the game is the same as Sunday night with a time slot of 5:30 pst and the game of the night is included. Most people find this game terrible because the team usually has a short week. After all, the hours are not from Sunday to Sunday but from Sunday to Thursday. Missing 2 days messes up a teams regularly scheduled practice schedule.
When is the NFL going to be played?
As far as games go, the NFL preseason kicks off in early August, college games kick off Labor Day weekend, and NFL regular season games kick off with the traditional reigning champion playing on Thursday. after Labor Day and the rest of the league the following weekend.
What are the rules in NFL?
There are many rules in the NFL, ranging from how teams line up before the Ball is thrown to the nature of a catch, which is sometimes hotly contested.
But if the object of the exercise is “I want to understand the game”, which I suspect it may be, it is better to see it this way:
There are two teams. One has the ball (offensive), and the other does not (defensive). The offense is trying to pass the ball across the defense’s goal line. Doing that is a “touchdown” and is worth 6 points. The reason is to try to stop them. If the guard can drive the ball across the foul’s goal line to eliminate them, that’s a touchdown.
The offense has four attempts (known as “downs”) to advance the ball at least ten yards. They can do this by throwing the ball or running the ball. If they move the Ball more than ten meters, that also counts. If they don’t reach ten yards, the defense keeps the Ball. Therefore, it is quite common for the fourth down (the last one the offense has) to be a “punt” in which the ball is kicked towards the defense, or a “field goal” attempt, in which the offense tries to kick the ball. Ball between the goal posts to score three points.
What is the best NFL team of all time?
The Cowboys are the best NFL team of all time. They are the most valuable, have the largest fan base, and have earned quite a bit, though not recently. Strong arguments can also be made for the Packers, Steelers and Patriots; however, in my opinion, the Cowboys are the only ones who have done well under multiple owners. The Steelers have had the same family in charge for decades, the Patriots were a total joke before Kraft, and the fan-owned version of the Packers flopped.
Single season: 1985 Chicago Bears. Most NFL Hall of Famers and professional football reporters routinely crown the 85 Bears as the most fantastic team of a year. Except for the loss to the Dan Marino-led Dolphins, they would crush their opponents every week that season. They recorded two shutouts in the playoffs and decimated the New England Patriots, 46-10, in Super Bowl XX.

What is the Super Bowl?
The Super Bowl is the annual championship of the National Football League, the highest level of professional football in the United States. The Super Bowl has been the most watched television event in the United States. Therefore, it is a very important part of American culture.
The final game of the American football season is where the top two teams of the season meet to determine the champion. Imagine if there was a knockout stage in the English Premier League after the usual 38 games in which the top eight teams went on to play a knockout stage. The final there would be equivalent to the Super Bowl.
See the complete Super Bowl page.
Which was the best Super Bowl ever?
The best Super Bowl was Super Bowl XXXVI, on February 3, 2002, between the St. Louis Rams and the New England Patriots. The Patriots won, 20-17, and the significance to Pats fans was that the Pats were finally no longer losers. The blowout to the Bears in SB XX, the loss to the Packers in SB XXXI, the 1-15 season in 1990, the 2-14 in 1981, all of that was just a memory now. The Brady-Belichick dynasty was underway, and an incredible two decades have passed! All of New England, and we in central Massachusetts, would revel in our football heroes, the mighty New England Patriots.
What is Pro Bowl?
Eighty-eight players in total are on the Pro Bowl roster. Eighty-six of them are chosen by fans, players and coaches. The head coaches also pick 2 more players who are long center backs, so 88 players end up going. See the 2016 Pro Bowl roster for the players chosen this year.
Closer to the game, some players end up dropping out due to injury or other reasons (for example, players from Super Bowl teams don’t play), in which case new players are chosen to take their place. So technically, with those new players, there are more than 88 Pro Bowlers each year.
See the complete Pro Bowl page.
Whose plays are called in Pro Bowl games?
There are similar basic plays in soccer, and coaches will put them into this type of all-star game. Practice time is limited, so sports are not complicated. There will be executions such as diving, heading, explosion, etc. Passes will have tilts, screens, out and up, quick exits, and streak patterns.
What is NFL Draft?
The NFL draft is an event in which all 32 clubs select football players who have just graduated from college. Players usually play with the team for 4 or 5 years before their contract ends, deciding to stay or go.
The Draft is poised to help teams improve, especially those that finished last or near last. The draft order goes from worst to best (using record for the top 20 teams and a playoff spot for the bottom 12). The worst teams can get the next star player to help their team go to the Super Bowl.
The Draft is a seven-round draft, one pick per team, plus compensatory picks (for free agents who left teams) generally, between 250 and 255 players are selected each year. About 30 compensatory picks are awarded throughout the league, Some teams get none and others get several, based on free agents who departed the previous season.
While all drafts should follow this order, most don’t, as some teams like to trade some of their players for future draft picks. This means that some groups may get multiple picks in the Draft. But on the other hand, he has to lose some of his players.
NFL teams also don’t have academy systems. Instead, young football players learn the sport by playing in high school and college. (Nearly all NFL players went to college)
Players are not eligible to turn pro until they have completed three years of high school and are no longer eligible to play in college. (They can choose to forgo their final year of college eligibility, and many top prospects do)
See the Complete NFL Draft page.
When is the NFL draft?
Historically it has been the fourth weekend of April and also in NY. Last year it was in Chicago. The 2016 NFL Draft will be April 28-30 and, like 2015, will also take place in Chicago.
How does the NFL Draft process work?
The way it works is that teams draft amateur players who have been out of high school for at least three years. They pick in order from worst to best, so the team with the worst record goes first and the team that won the super bowl goes last. Of course, teams can swap these picks, so it’s not always worse to be first.
How to watch NFL Live for free without cable
NFL games are available on TV channels for online platforms like FuboTV and NFL APP. But if you are looking for how to watch NFL for free, then there are some channels like:
- NFL Game Pass. NFL Game Pass is a reputable site for live streaming NFL games.
- NFL Webcast
- NBC Sports
- Yahoo Sports app
- The NFL mobile app
- Verizon Wireless
- Amazon Prime
And our NFLgameupdates.com will also broadcast NFL all games live for free.
Can I stream NFL football on mobile?
The NFL Mobile app allows you to watch NFL RedZone as long as you subscribe to your cable provider. I have often used it to watch games while traveling, especially in foreign countries where you have little chance of finding a sports bar with football games.
Unfortunately, the NFL is not yet fully available to stream live games legally. Little by little, they are going in that direction and even broadcast a game live on Yahoo! this year (Buffalo Bills game).
Eventually, they’ll get there, especially as lace-cutting becomes more familiar. But they’re not in a hurry because, for now, most NFL games are on accessible non-cable TV networks (FOX/CBS/NBC).
(And yes, you were probably asking about fewer new live streaming methods. Not going to help with that, but suffice it to say it’s been done in the past, but the quality is usually bad enough not to be worth it. I recommend NFL RedZone because at least your favorite team will be covered to some extent.
Everything you need to Know about NFL
The National Football League (NFL) is the largest and longest running professional football league in the United States. The NFL consists of 32 teams from US cities and regions, and the teams in the league are divided into two conferences: the American Football Conference (AFC) and the National Football Conference (NFL) are two football conferences ( NFC).
How many games are there in an NFL season?
There are 32 teams in the NFL, and each team plays 16 games during the 17 weeks of the regular season (Bay week, called Bay Week). 512 total NFL regular-season games per season. Edit: Failed in math. There are 256 games a year. To my wife, it looks more like 2560. How about the NASCAR races? Every hug is torture.
16 regular-season games per team, then if the team makes the playoffs depending on the seats, they must win two or three games to reach the Super Bowl. Then the Super Bowl plays one more, so a maximum of 20 games can be played per team, provided they advance through the wild card, division, and conference rounds in the playoffs. 523 games are played each year, excluding pre-season.
Is there a specific reason that not all states have an NFL team?
Professional sports are generally based on cities and not states. When a state name is used, it is often because the team is trying to draw in multiple cities. Groups like the Minnesota Twins and the Vikings exist because they hail from Minneapolis-St. Paul region and the state in general. The New England Patriots hail from various cities in various states.
Not every state has an NFL team because not every state has a metropolitan area that can host an NFL team. Wyoming and the Dakotas have fewer people than St. Louis, MO metropolitan area. St. Louis has lost 2 NFL teams due to a lack of support. California has 3 sections and has had 4 because the metropolitan areas of San Francisco, LA and San Diego can host 4 teams. If you look at the other NFL teams, they’re all anchored in a central metropolitan area.
How many Divisions are there in the NFL, and what are they named?
There are 4 divisions in the AFC and the NFC. In both conferences, there is a north, east, south and west conference, and since there are 2 conferences and 4X2=8, there are 8 conferences in the NFL. Each division has 4 teams, which means each conference has 16 teams and the entire league has 32 teams.
What is the best way to get into American football (NFL)?
The best way is to research on the Internet.
Understand the fundamental rules of the game, the teams and divisions, and the season/playoff structure.
Get insights into the top 5 players on the top 5-10 teams in the league, including your local soccer franchise. These teams are likely to be Super Bowl contenders. There’s no point in researching a bunch of scrubs that no one talks about.
Start watching football every Sunday, Monday and Thursday.
Go to YouTube and watch game highlights from your favorite teams. The NFL typically condenses all games into 10-15 minute videos for all the essential highlights.
Do some historical research. Learn who the legends and Hall of Famers were and why they were so special. Also, observe the traditions of the fans of the favorite teams.
Can I play in the NFL?
Getting into the NFL is difficult/almost impossible. You will have to go to a Division 1 college and excel there to get into the NFL. To make it to D1, you need to be the right size for your role and do well on the field and in the classroom.
Think about the position you want to play. Then study how to play this position. Next, learn the techniques and tricks that will make you succeed in this position. For example, study a movie, buy professional playbooks on eBay, and learn some plays that focus on your location. If you do these things, you will be better than most guys. Then you will have to train, hone your skills and play as much as possible to become better and better.
Can I play in the NFL without going to college?
No, the chances are almost 0% of making it in the NFL. I can only think of one that did, and for me, it was a dud. Eric Swann of the Az Cardinals. Sure he was on the NFL rosters and had some early success, but he didn’t have the impact a No. 6 overall pick should have. INJURIES and lack of skill affected him. He was big, but he didn’t have what it took for the NFL long term. I think he stayed because the teams saw “potential.” It never worked.
Without college football. Who’s going to watch you play? The high school is excellent, but the general group of players is not. You have to be out of HS for at least 3 years to be drafted or signed as an FA in the NFL. So what are you going to do during those three years? Play in a club or semi-professional team. Once again, the pool of talents/competence is limited.
Why are there no women in the NFL?
Women aren’t in the NFL simply because most women’s bodies can’t handle the physicality. On the other hand, men are naturally much more physically gifted and can take more physical punishment, can barely take it and often don’t. The only positions I could see a woman playing would be kicker or punter. It is the least physically damaging position on the team, as it is generally against the rules to hit them. Also, most women don’t want to play football.
There is something like that. It’s called Legends Football League (LFL). However, women are forced to wear shoulder pads and uniforms that expose much of their bodies, and the game is 7 on 7. Women did not receive the respect they deserved for a long time. However, the league itself is working to legitimize it little by little. For example, their tagline changed from “Real Fantasy Football” to “Women of the Grid”.
What are the largest stadiums in the NFL?
These are the top five in terms of official seating capacity (including some of the asterisks discussed below): MetLife Stadium, FedEx Field, Lambeau Field, AT&T Stadium, and Los Angeles Coliseum.
Jerry World is designed so that up to 20,000 additional people can participate in the Super Bowl or something similar, but 80,000 is the standard capacity.
The Coliseum is in the midst of a significant renovation that will increase capacity from 93,000 to 77,500 and be completed for the 2019 season. However, the Rams are set to play there for just one year at the new power, moving to the new Englewood Stadium with Chargers in 2020 (the expected total is 70,240). Once the Coliseum is removed from the NFL list, Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City drops to fifth on the capacity list with 76,416.
What is the minimum salary in the NFL?
Pay for most NFL players varies based on how long you’ve been in the league. Veterans of the league should be paid more than starting rookies. Rookies typically receive the lowest pay, except those selected in the first and second rounds. Veterans typically command a higher minimum salary due to their length of time in the league.
$480,000 North for a rookie who plays all season (or even goes to the injured reserve in the precinct) is correct for the minimum pay for first-year rookies on the active roster.
What is the average retirement pay for NFL players?
It is a defined benefit plan for players with three years or more, currently about 45k per year from 55. It goes up depending on the years completed. There are also defined contribution plans offered by the NFL in addition to the pension that follows the same rules as any defined contribution plan. The NFLPA also has retirement programs, but it is usually related to post-career job training and placement. Most former NFL players will have a better retirement than most U.S. citizens.
The average NFL career lasts 3.5 years. Using dollar amounts from a few years ago, a five-year accredited player, who starts cashing at 55, will receive approximately $40,000 annually. In contrast, a pensioner, who instead waits and collects at 65, will receive approximately $100,000 annually.
How much does it cost to buy an NFL team?
Forbes’ 2019 estimate ($91.365 billion) is probably very close. But Something is worth exactly what someone else is willing to pay for it. For example, Forbes values the Cowboys at $5.5 billion, but that estimate doesn’t consider the scarcity factor.
There are only 32 NFL teams, and in most cases, they stay in the family, so they rarely go on sale.
If the Cowboys were offered for sale today, there would be multiple offers, and I’m sure the highest would be over $5.5 billion.
According to their sources, Forbes values the Bears at $3.45 billion, but there is a standing offer from a potential buyer to pay $4 billion for the team. So there are many very rich people out there, and a lot of them want to buy an NFL team.
Aside from the glamour and weirdness, having an NFL team is good business. Last year, the Cowboys had $864 million in revenue and an operating income of $365 million.
Along with the glamour and rarity factor, owning an NFL team is good business. Last year the Cowboys did $864 million in revenue and had an operating income of $365 million.
Who are the best coaches in NFL history?
Bill Parcells is the greatest coach of all time in NFL history. Consider that Bill Belichick wouldn’t have been as successful if he hadn’t been Parcells’ defensive coordinator for several years.
- Vince Lombardi
- Halas George
- Paul Brown
- Shula Don
- Chuck Noll
- Walsh Bill
- Bill Bellicheck
- Gibbs Joe
- Bud Grant
- Parcells Bill
- Tom Landry
In 19 seasons as head coach, Parcells won two Superbowls for the Giants (’86 and ’90) while also leading the Patriots to the ’96 Superbowl. He also led the New York Jets to a Superbowl game in 1998. He hit .500+ in 14 seasons, made ten trips to the playoffs and won 5 division titles. With an overall season record of 172-130-1, he finished 10th in career wins when he retired from the Cowboys in 2006. After retiring from him, he also helped build a playoff team with the Miami Dolphins to manage his front office.
The guy was a turnaround artist because every team he coached had won 5 or fewer games the previous season before he took over as head coach. And the four teams he coached for, he had them in the playoffs the second season he was coaching for them.
Super Bowl champions Belichick, Tom Coughlin and Sean Payton, are among the numerous NFL head coaches who have worked with Parcells.
Who is the worst coach in the NFL?
When talking about the worst coaches in NFL history, assuming he’s only referring to head coaching assignments, The names of Rod Marinelli, Dave Schulla, Lou Holtz and Lane Kevin are often mentioned.
Hugh Jackson: After a dismal career in Oakland, Brown decided this guy deserved to be the head coach of the Blues Factory. As a result, this guy went 1-15 for Brown. He promised he’d never do anything like that again, and it worked: he went from 0 to 16. I hope the river swim was very nice. Many of the problems with his tenure with Brown were his fault. His plays were flawed, he inspired his players nothing, and he generally didn’t accept blame for any of the mistakes in his training plans.
Who is the best NFL defensive end of all time?
From a qualitative and quantitative standpoint, Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald is the best defensive player in the NFL. While fixing who is the “best” defensive player and how difficult due to the various roles on many defenses and the fact that it depends on what NFL defensive strategies a player requires, there are several reasons to consider #99 to be the best:
- AD currently leads the NFL in sacks with 14.5, 3 more than second place.
- He Changes the game plan of NFL offenses. #99 is a generational player.
- He was Defensive Rookie of the Year in place of Khalil Mack.
- AD is the current Defensive Player of the Year, so of course.
AD is a DEFENSIVE TACKLE, but he leads the league in sacks at a FAST pace to possibly break the single-season sack record. Defensive tackles tend to be more blocked by the offensive lineman, giving them more “stuff” to get the sack.
He is the CURRENT Defensive Player of the Year. He is firmly on a level with future Hall of Fame defensive players currently playing: AD, J.J Watt, Von Miller, Khalil Mack.
Which NFL team has the largest number of fans around the world?
Dallas Cowboys With 8.51 million fans, the Dallas Cowboys has the most followed NFL team account on Facebook. The New England Patriots are second on the list, a six-time Super Bowl winner.
The Dallas Cowboys have been known as Team America, the New England Patriots have a lot of fans, and the team I think has a big fan base is the Oakland Raiders, and they have a lot of fans who are going to travel from L.A. to Oakland for games. Attacker sites. Many fans in Oakland say they will go to Las Vegas for the games when the Raiders move there. They always have a decent season. They rarely change Q.B.s and coaches as well. They have won about 5 Super Bowls and have a lot of fans. Most people are on the bandwagon for this team, and to some extent, I’m part of that group (although I’m a die-hard Eagles fan).
What are the oldest NFL teams?
It has to be Green Bay, Chicago, Washington and the New York Giants.
Edit: perusing Football Reference, it looks like the Philadelphia Eagles beat Washington by four years (located in their current metro area)
It really is
- Arizona Cardinals. In 1920 they joined the NFL as the Chicago Cardinals but were founded as an independent professional team in 1898.
- Chicago Bears. In 1920 they joined the NFL and a new team, but then they were the Decatur Staleys.
- Green Bay Packers. In 1921 they joined the NFL but were an independent team in 1919 and 1920.
- New York Giants. They were founded and joined the NFL in 1925.
The Lions are also older than the Eagles. They were founded as the Portsmouth Spartans in 1930 before moving to Detroit in 1934.
National Football League Most Valuable Player
NFL Most Valuable Player Jim Brown is the NFL’s Most Valuable Player. Unlike Tom Brady, Jim Brown didn’t require a huge cast of characters on his offensive line. He made plays on his account, and if his Brown teams didn’t win Super Bowls as prolifically as Tom Brady, that’s because the NFL has a much healthier competitive balance. Teams that won games weren’t promoted under the NFL’s current “star” system, in which Brady and Mahomes generally play on “functional” teams and revel in dysfunctional teams, some of which haven’t had Super Bowl success in more than 50 years. Then there are some Most Valuable Players like:
- Cam Newton
- Matt Ryan
- Tom Brady
- Patrick Mahomes
- Lamar Jackson
- Aaron Rodgers
Which NFL team has the most playoff wins of all time?
The New England Patriots have won 37 playoffs, twice more than the Dallas Cowboys and Pittsburgh Steelers, who have 35 playoffs each. The Green Bay Packers follow them with 34 players and the San Francisco 49ers with 31. NFL Winning History by Team 2019.
The Cowboys hold that record for the seasons making the playoffs, reaching the post-season 33 times. The Green Bay and New York Giants each have 32 post-season appearances. The Steelers follow them with 31 and the Rams and Vikings with 29 each. 2019 NFL Playoffs Matches by Team.
How many teams are in the NFL playoffs?
There were six teams in each conference (AFC and NFC), but they expanded the playoffs to 7 teams per conference this year, with only the top seed in each conference getting a bye.
Currently, a dozen teams make it to the NFL playoffs. As it stands now, today’s NFL playoffs are a single-elimination tournament format consisting of twelve teams, six from the AFC and six from the NFC. Based on their winning percentage and regular-season records, each conference’s 1-4 seeds are the winners of the four divisions. The 5-6 seeds from each conference are either wild card teams or teams with the next best records other than the division winners.
Who is the fastest player in the NFL today?
Bullet Bob Hayes. 1964 Olympic 100m champion and wide receiver for the Dallas Cowboys. One of only two players in NFL history to average more than 20 receiving yards. San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Marquise Goodwin. Before, she used to be Carolina Panthers cornerback Donte Jackson. Marquise beat him by 0.05 seconds, making Donté the second-fastest player in the NFL.
Are the NFL or Super Bowl playoffs rigged?
Super Bowl is not like any other sport in North America. The NBA Finals get poor TV ratings when there’s an unattractive match. Also, the world championship and NHL Finals are often rated poorly, even with a good game.
It is rigged when there is an opportunity to correct a mistake, and it is done on purpose. You hear about boxers breaking in, car drivers losing races another team member wins, and basketball players slashing points. Why should the NFL be different? They weren’t conservative in doing so.
But the Super Bowl could be Detroit vs. Jacksonville and will remain a TV must-have. Harbaugh’s story would get a lot of attention, but for the NFL to set the record straight for Baltimore, they could have rejected the AFC Championship match Brady Manning (huge ratings) and Brady, their main idol, in the Super Bowl.
Did someone die in an NFL game?
Chuck Hughes died on the field of an NFL game in 1971 from a severe heart attack rather than the game’s result. Several players suffered severe injuries on the field that could easily have been fatal, including spinal cord injuries that led to permanent paralysis. One died of heatstroke during training camp. In 1979 the Jets/Patriots had a half-and-half show that included a display of radio-controlled planes, including one shaped like a lawnmower. That plane hit two fans, and one of them died of his injuries four days later. Many other fans died in football matches given the number of fans in the game, it is inevitable that one will eventually succumb to a fatal underlying condition.
How many NFL teams have never won a Super Bowl?
The team that went to Super Bowl but has never won:
- Buffalo Bills: 0–4
- Minnesota Vikings: 0–4
- Carolina Panthers: 0–2
- Atlanta Falcons: 0–2
- Cincinnati Bengals: 0–2
- Arizona Cardinals: 0–1
- Tennessee Titans: 0–1
- Los Angeles Chargers: 0–1
Teams that have never been to the Super Bowl:
- Jacksonville Jaguars
- Houston Texans
- Detroit Lions
- Cleveland Browns

Stopping logging was just one of the significant dedications ahead out of the worldwide environment talks in 2014 in Glasgow, yet there was little proof of progression in 2021, according to a record launched Thursday.
The yearly record by the Globe Resources Institute, a research study team based in Washington, D.C., discovered that exotic areas shed 9.3 million acres of key old-growth woodland in 2021. That caused 2.5 billion statistics lots of discharges of co2, or concerning 2 as well as a half times as long as released by auto as well as light vehicles in the USA yearly.
Brazil had without a doubt the biggest share of woodland loss, making up greater than 40 percent of the total amount, adhered to by the Autonomous Republic of Congo as well as Bolivia.
In 2015’s total amount was a decrease of 11 percent from 2020, yet it had to do with equivalent to the quantity shed in both 2018 as well as 2019
Pole Taylor, international supervisor of the institute’s international woodlands program, claimed that the basically level price of logging over the last 4 years was bad “for the environment, for the termination situation, as well as for the destiny of numerous woodland individuals.”
The majority of woodland loss in the tropics is connected to farming or various other tasks, like mining. Woodlands are apparent as well as typically melted, as well as these fires can outgrow control, including in the destruction.
Along with including planet-warming gases to the ambience, logging removes environment for plants as well as pets, deteriorates land as well as influences weather condition patterns as well as flooding.
The circumstance has actually ended up being so alarming that at the United Nations environment talks in Glasgow last November, 141 countries, consisting of Brazil as well as the Autonomous Republic of Congo, vowed to “stop as well as turn around” logging by 2030
Radical actions will certainly be required to generate the constant yearly decreases called for to get to that objective, claimed Frances Seymour, an elderly other at the institute.
” The numbers we’re sharing today probably can be taken into consideration a standard for examining the performance of the activities that they require to follow up” on those promises, she claimed.
There was some excellent information in the record, particularly from Asia. In Indonesia, woodland loss decreased by quarter from 2020, the 5th year straight of dropping total amounts. Malaysia likewise had a 5th straight year of decreases, although woodland loss in 2021 was just somewhat much less than in 2020.
Given that experiencing comprehensive woodland as well as peat fires in 2016 that caused a substantial loss of tree cover as well as extensive extreme air contamination, Indonesia has actually set up harder policies on the hand oil market as well as others in charge of the majority of the loss. Firms have actually likewise been pushed to promise to lower logging.
” This shows that company dedications as well as federal government activities are plainly functioning, which Indonesia is heading in the best instructions to make several of its environment dedications,” claimed Hidayah Hamzah, an elderly supervisor with the institute’s Indonesia workplace.
A brand-new legislation that has the possible to compromise ecological policies in Indonesia is reason for problem, claimed Andika Putraditama, likewise in the Indonesia workplace. If the federal government falls short to keep sufficient safety actions, he claimed, firms would certainly require to enhance initiatives to offer volunteer safeguards, like the moral supply chain activity that sustains making use of lasting products.
Recognize the most up to date Information on Environment Modification
In West Africa, Gabon as well as the Republic of Congo revealed decreases in tree loss. Yet large logging proceeded in the Autonomous Republic of Congo, which shed 1.2 million acres, mainly as an outcome of small farming as well as charcoal manufacturing.
In Brazil, tree-cover loss raised considerably in the western component of the Amazon.com container. This can be connected to the growth of roadways as well as various other facilities in the area, which permits mining as well as various other forest-destroying tasks to happen.
A current research study revealed that the Amazon.com, the globe’s biggest exotic forestlands, is much less able to recuperate from disruptions like dry spells as well as logging, which at the very least component of the area is coming close to a limit where it will certainly change from woodland to meadows.
” That would certainly launch adequate carbon right into the ambience to blow the Paris Contract objectives right out of the water,” Ms. Seymour claimed. The ramification of every one of the record’s searchings for, she included, “is that we need to significantly lower discharges from all resources.”
” No person ought to also believe any longer concerning growing trees as opposed to minimizing discharges from nonrenewable fuel sources,” she claimed. “It’s reached be both, as well as it’s reached be currently prior to it’s far too late.”
The record discovered that total in the tropics, greater than 27 million acres of woodland cover was shed. Yet in its evaluation the institute concentrates on older key woodlands in damp areas, which play without a doubt the best duty in maintaining co2 out of the ambience as well as in preserving biodiversity.
The record is a cooperation in between the institute as well as the International Land Evaluation as well as Exploration lab at the College of Maryland, which has actually established approaches to assess satellite images to figure out the level of woodland cover.

5 lessons from past pandemics to cope with COVID-19. One famous line "Those who do not learn from history are condemned to repeat it". Our history is dotted with numerous epidemics and pandemics and the struggling survival stories of those who faced them. In the present times, we are still facing the deadly coronavirus pandemic. The pandemic is equally terrific as its predecessor pandemics or even more fatal. It has been credited with the creation of the largest economic recession in world history. The past epidemics and pandemics have certainly helped us in coping up with COVID 19.
The deadly virus reached US shores in January last year. With the succeeding months, it has gone on an exponential rise. The death toll has touched 2.45 million as per the data of the CDC. The US Health centers have run out of medical equipment, including masks, sanitizers, ICU beds, ventilators, and test kits. The viral infection is on an unstoppable rise. Proper monitoring of the suspected patients of COVID-19 is getting difficult. Half of the world's mask supply came from China; the onset disrupted this supply chain management amid the coronavirus pandemic. Various MNCs are coming forward to step up masks and sanitizers like Apple, Google, and Facebook. Let's revise the 5 lessons from past pandemics to cope with COVID-19:
1.Never take any information for granted
A decade earlier, when Swine Flu hit the globe, the US faced a dearth of masks and sanitizers. History is repeating itself now. The ongoing covid-19 patients are also facing similar conditions. There is a substantial gap between the requirement and availability of ventilators in the USA. The number of ventilators required depends upon the severity, speed, and a number of infected patients. Having one of the top-class medical facilities, Italy failed to provide required Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to its health workers. US Hospitals faced the scarcity of test kits and N95 respiratory masks during Swine Flu (H1N1) which engulfed the whole globe. Tents were set up to manage the patient crowd in emergencies. An appropriate analysis of the situation is important too.
The Wall Street Journal told how the ineffective testing kits led to poor patient screening in the initial phase, and ultimately it promoted the transmission of the virus.
2.Exchange of information should be made freely
Improvement in communication capacity works wonders. The maintenance of a proper communication channel between the suppliers and the consumers is the basic thing required in these critical times. One of the main reasons people started hoarding is that they are suspicious of medical goods' ready availability. If the medical equipment is in the market, anyone who needs it can avail of it anytime; on the other hand; they will serve no benefit if they get hoarded into the private lockers of people. A platform is required to create a great medium to establish this communication channel. Bringing transparency in the supply chain is equally essential; various intermediaries involved in the process also exploit the situation. Knowledge-sharing through various means can greatly improve the situation.
3.Always keep alternative passageways open
Maintenance of alternative passageways is a great option to improve the demand-supply curve in the pandemic. If medical centers run out of supply for a particular thing, they must have an alternative to be used in an emergency. Healthcare is a sophisticated industry to manage. Unlike its peer industries, a sudden upsurge of a particular product is frequently visible here. A well-jointed effort should be started to collect masks and gloves from non-health experts like artists. And donate them to health experts. However, the question remains, ‘will coronavirus pandemic finally kill off global supply chains?’
4.Maintain The Trust Of Public In Emergency Health Aids
Thanks to the panic created among the masses, the shortages to help the supply chain of essential medical items sink into a ditch, people start hoarding, and those in urgent need of the medical accessories face medicine drought. During the Swine Flu crisis, the Health experts and Pharma heads were confident that there would be enough stock to cater to the needs of those in an emergency despite low production.
The Novel Coronavirus incubation period is 14 days, which is approximately equal to the incubation period of the Zika virus, which recently attacked Brazil in 2015. The two weeks long incubation period may cause anxiety and panic among the suspected patients. Therefore, the Government should maintain the confidence of the general public. Pandemics murder the hope of life, and it is the responsibility of the Government to keep this hope immortal.
5.Make Use Of The Knowledge Of Medical Expert And Clinical Engineers
Biomedical Engineering, a recently opened branch of engineering, is responsible for the smooth delivery of the required medical items. Clinical Engineers trained in clinical Engineering, one of the sub-fields of Medical Engineering, serve as Medical technology consultants and supervise medical equipment production. They also advise on the modification and improvement of Medical technology.

Residents here in Bernardsville value their homes and community and take pride in the property and real estate of this beautiful borough of Somerset County. This town is full of parks, The Cross Estate Gardens, and the Audubon’s Sherman Hoffman Wildlife Sanctuary—not to mention gorgeous homes!
That’s part of why dealing with a pest or rodent infestation can become so exasperating. In the Garden State, we have the ideal climate for many of the common pests. When you have a lovely piece of property that you invested a lot in for you or your family, it can become worrying to see rodents ripping up your lawn or potentially causing harm to the structure of your home.
Many types of ants are prevalent in Bernardsville, such as the citronella ants, acrobat ants, odorous house ants, pavement ants, and the all-too-common carpenter ant. While species such as pavement ants can tunnel in and under cracks in driveways and patios, carpenter ants can be a problem in New Jersey homes.
Carpenter ants can technically bite, although they rarely harm humans. However, they can wreak havoc on your house if left to reproduce and thrive.
While carpenter ants do not eat wood, they tunnel through it, as well as through soft or damp areas such as rotting deck boards, any foundational boards that get soggy, and even your foam insulation.
If you spot a couple of carpenter ants in your home, it’s likely many more are hiding in walls or cracks where you cannot see them. If you see small shavings of wood, similar to sawdust, these pests are already underway in their tunneling through beams, walls, ceilings, or floorboards in your house.
For roughly seven percent of the population, bee stings can be deadly. However, even for those who are not allergic, being stung by several bees at once can cause insect venom poisoning. In severe cases, this can require hospitalization.
Even if you never have a run-in with bees from a hive near your home, it’s crucial to be aware that hives can cause damage to property, as well. The sheer weight of an active beehive can harm eaves, gutters, and roofing.
If a beehive is left to grow, the expansion of the structure can also put a surprising amount of pressure on your home construction. Wax and other substances can seep through an also stain your home if the hive is constructed against walls, eaves, or gutters.
In Bernardsville, some of the most common rodents that cause issues or brown (or Norway) rats, house mice, deer mice, voles, and groundhogs.
Norway rats can be exceptionally challenging to eradicate, as many are now resistant to store-bought rodenticides. Rats can also be smart creatures and will outwit many methods if setting traps or baits are not done thoroughly enough.
Both rats and mice can cause numerous health risks. Mice can also find a way into your home quite easily with their small size, and leave not only damaged wires but also germ-infested droppings.
Voles, moles, and groundhogs can tunnel through the luxurious lawns here in Bernardsville. This activity can kill expensive landscaping plants, cause trip hazards, uproot foundations of decks and patios, and even cause destruction to pipes and underground wiring.

Churches are not supposed to be silent places. Britain’s great cathedrals especially are never more alive than when they ring with the sound of worship, of voices, and of music. There’s only one instrument that can fill a building like that – the organ.
Bristol Cathedral is blessed with an especially fine organ. The oldest parts, including the ornamental wooden case and the visible pipes on the façade, date from 1685, the significance of which shouldn’t be overlooked. Less than 30 years earlier, the protectorate of Oliver Cromwell ended – a period which had seen the indiscriminate destruction of organs throughout Britain, and the emigration of the country’s organ builders to the continent. When the restored Charles II returned to England from France, the organ builders followed him, including the young Renatus Harris, apprentice to his father’s firm.
Charles II’s enlightenment ideas, alongside his catholic inclinations, cultivated a flourishing of organ building in Britain, and in the year of Charles’ death, Renatus Harris was commissioned by the Dean of Bristol to build a new instrument. Much of Harris’ work still lives and breathes in the organ we see and hear today.
Numerous renovations and expansions have augmented (and sometimes diminished) the splendour of this instrument, and it now boasts more than five thousand pipes: the longest, 32 feet; the shortest, the size of an Ikea pencil. While it is now in serious need of restoration, it remains one the most magnificent examples of the art of organ-building in Britain, and undoubtedly deserving of a place in our countdown.
With thanks to Paul Walton – Assistant Organist of Bristol Cathedral – for his recording of Bach’s Prelude in G major, BWV 541, and to the producer Malcolm Gibbs.

This week a new survey for NSPCC ChildLine has found that one in five of nearly 700 youngsters said they had seen pornographic images that had shocked or upset them. The findings of this survey tie into the campaign by Scottish Women’s Aid against revenge porn.
This issue was debated in the Scottish Parliament in September 2013. In bringing the motion and leading the debate, Christina McKelvie MSP said;
“Decades ago, domestic abuse was not talked about or recognised—women walked into doors or fell downstairs. Things have moved on, although sadly there are still people in abusive relationships who are too frightened to come forward. Their confidence has been eaten away by their partners so effectively that many end up convinced that somehow the abuse is all their own fault. It is therefore vital that the new Stop Revenge Porn Scotland site gains the maximum profile. That is why I am having this debate in the chamber”
The evidence from the survey being reported this week shows there is still some distance to travel in tacking this issue.

Pacing ahead to conquer the next-gen technology & drive business growth

The global taxation landscape has entered a new era of data-driven ecosystems. Corporates, banks, and governments are already focusing on a taxation model that pivots on data and analytics for minimizing risk exposure while maximizing the visibility of tax-related data at the same time. As a result, the process of revenue collection by governments and tax filing by corporates has undergone a sea-change in the last few years. For example, addressing Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) has become a priority for many governments around the globe.
Under BEPS Action 13, all large multinational enterprises (MNEs) are required to prepare a country-by-country (CbC) report with aggregate data on the global allocation of income, profit, taxes paid and economic activity among tax jurisdictions in which it operates.
When this CbC report is shared with tax administrations in the respective jurisdictions, it would be used for improving risk assessments and value creation. As such, the shift towards Tax Analytics (and banking analytics) can be termed as a game-changer in the realm of taxation.
So, what is Tax Analytics?
At its core, Tax Analytics is the new role of data analytics in taxation. It leverages the power of new data analytics technologies like visualization, integration, data fabric, etc., on massive sets of tax data. It then uses the technical knowledge of taxation to generate key insights and deeper understanding to improve business performance and drive strategy through smarter and real-time decisions related to the tax department.
As per Deloitte, the role of taxation can be elevated with data analytics, as tax data analytics is both a powerful investigative tool and, through visualization, a graphic medium for communicating findings and discoveries.
How Data Analytics has emerged as a key factor in Taxation
While CbC report is one of the several examples that clearly depicts the emerging role of data-driven insights and analytics in banking and taxation, there are many more reasons why tax analytics will be critical. For governments, it would be about securing revenues by closing the gaps in the process. For corporates, it would serve as a necessary platform to realign taxation with the economic activities of the broader organization. IRS came out with a data stating that there has been an increase in data volume by 100X times from 2007 to 2017 and the number of users has increased by more than 23X.
The missing piece in the Taxation jigsaw puzzle
Tax departments are now expected to provide a strategic viewpoint and add more value than ever. As such, the deployment of data analytics software has become both pragmatic and necessary for operational efficiency, and organizations around the globe are ready to make the decisive shift.
As per Allied Market Research, the total value of the business analytics software market in 2023 is estimated to reach $57 million, with the Asia-Pacific region set to experience the highest growth at a CAGR of 12.10%
Tax Analytics is changing the mindset of Tax departments
Traditionally, the process of tax data-gathering has focused on hindsight. This traditional approach is all set to change with Tax Analytics, as it will help move taxation from mere hindsight to insight and foresight, shifting from ‘what needs to be done' to 'what needs to be known’. By fully understanding what lies ahead using the insights, the tax departments can utilize the information to improve the key areas of tax audits and compliance.
From loophole discovery to uncovering the gaps in the process
The Tax department in India has started using data analytics in the last few years to find outliers in any industry. The insights using the advanced tool have enabled it to identify the gap from industry-based average taxes, which is now being used to determine targets for further scrutiny.
In the past, the direct tax and the indirect tax departments operated independently and would not share data. However, the government’s big data push has meant that both departments have been sharing data with each other. As -per industry trackers, this has led to deeper analysis and more tax notices and scrutiny.
Most of the leading IT vendors are providing a tax analytics solution that can play a vital role in meeting the growing expectations of your organization. NSEIT also provides a leading-edge solution to simplify tax computation that fully leverages the power of analytics. Some of the leading organizations in the BFSI sector are effectively using the solution that has enabled them to make tax data drive the strategy and serve as a catalyst for success and growth.

Some libraries extensively define RSpec DSL aliases (e.g. Pundit, Action Policy) or augment existing elements providing the same semantics (e.g.
Those libraries can provide necessary configuration, but won’t necessarily do so.
If they do, their README will mention that you have to explicitly require their configuration from your

If you have reason to believe that you might be in financial need, it is important to know how to access disaster loans. This article will explain the process and provide tips on how to get one.
What is a disaster loan and what are the different types of loans?
The disaster loan process is a long and complicated system that can be difficult to navigate. The process should not be looked at as a short-term loan but rather a long-term process. A disaster loan is classified according to its purpose, which includes the following:
A disaster loan is a short-term loan that is given by the government to individuals in order to assist them in meeting their immediate or long-term needs. These loans, from Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), are available for both emergency and non-emergency situations. The types of loans that are available include the following: homeowner and renter assistance, business owners, renters, survivors of disasters, emergency medical service providers, and property owners.
Benefits of applying for a disaster loan
Disasters are an unfortunate occurrence that can have a tremendous impact on your life. In the event of an emergency, you should seek out help from the Federal Emergency Management Agency or your local branch. A disaster loan is a short-term loan given to assist people in meeting financial needs caused by a disaster. The process for requesting this loan is simple and can often be completed online.
If you have been affected by a natural disaster, you may be able to get a loan from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) or your state’s emergency management agency. A disaster loan helps to provide you with money for which you may not qualify by other means. There are some benefits and drawbacks of applying for a loan in this situation.
Apply for a disaster loan
If you are in a disaster situation and need to rebuild your home or business, then you might be eligible for a loan. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) offers disaster loans after major disasters such as hurricanes, tornados, earthquakes and others. The process is quick and easy if you have all of the proper documentation.
The process of applying for a disaster loan is fairly straightforward. You must provide documentation to qualify and then wait for your loan decision. The USDA determines if you qualify, and the bank you’re dealing with will make the final decision on your loan application.
Tips on choosing which loan to apply fo
When you find yourself in a situation where you need a loan and are not sure which loan to apply for, there are a few tips to follow. Keep reading to find out what these are and how they will affect your decision.
There are a lot of loan options that the government provides to its citizens in times of need. Sometimes it can be difficult for people to choose which loan will work best for them. In order to make an informed decision, people should look at what their budget looks like and how much debt they have. Another thing to consider is when the loan will be paid back.

Kirklees Local Authority has proposed a traffic scheme which makes no sense.
Their main objective appears to be to alleviate traffic build up from the M62 to Cooper Bridge. To achieve this they want to funnel traffic along Oak Road, a narrow residential street, which means a 200° turn from Leeds Road which will be extremely difficult for heavy goods vehicles and cause a build up of traffic behind vehicles waiting to turn right. I fail to see how it affects the motorway problem.
Mr. Keith Bloomfield, the designer of this plan, maintains it will save drivers 3 minutes driving time which is debatable. As traffic lights will be positioned at the junction of Leeds Rd and Oak Rd, a red light will take up those minutes, thus negating the whole advantage.
As a resident of Oak Road, I strongly object for these reasons.
Traffic will be increased tremendously.
The road is narrow and unsuitable for heavy goods and buses.
More traffic means danger for children crossing to get to the park.
Air pollution and noise pollution will go through the roof.
House values will plummet.
The proposed one way system will be problematic meaning taking a detour to return home, particularly for Leeds Rd residents who will have to go as far as Brooklands to turn round after passing on the opposite side to their home.

How to Add a Device¶
Adding a labscript-device involves implementing interfaces for your hardware to different protions of the labscript-suite. Namely, you must provide
labscript_devicethat takes labscript high-level commands and turns them into instructions that are saved to the shot h5 file.
BLACS_workerthat handles communication with the hardware, in particular interpreting the instructions from the shot h5 file into the necessary hardware commands to configure the device.
BLACS_tabwhich provides a graphical interface to control the instrument via BLACS
Though not strictly required, you should also consider providing a
runviewer_parser, which can read the h5 instructions and produce the appropriate shot timings that would occur. This interface is only used in runviewer.
As a general rule, it is best to model new hardware implementations off of a currently implemented device that has similar functionality. If the functionality is similar enough, it may even be possible to simply sub-class the currently implemented device, which is likely preferrable.
Barring the above simple solution, one must work from scratch.
It is best to begin by determining the labscript device class to inherit from:
The first is for implementing Psuedoclock devices, the second is for generic devices that are not hardware timed by a pseudoclock, and the last is for hardware timed devices that are connected to another device controlled via labscript.
labscript_device implements general configuration parameters, many of which are passed to the
It also implements the
generate_code method which converts labscript high-level instructions and saves them to the h5 file.
BLACS_tab defines the GUI widgets that control the device.
This typically takes the form of using standard widgets provided by labscript for controlling labscript output primitives (ie
This configuration is done in the
This also specifies which BLACS workers to use and provides necessary instantiation arguments.
BLACS_worker handles communication with the hardware itself and often represents the bulk of the work required to implement a new labscript device.
In general, it should provide five different methods:
init: This method initialises communications with the device. Not to be confused with the standard python class
program_manual: This method allows for user control of the device via the
BLACS_tab, setting outputs to the values set in the
check_remote_values: This method reads the current settings of the device, updating the
BLACS_tabwidgets to reflect these values.
transition_to_buffered: This method transitions the device to buffered shot mode, reading the shot h5 file and taking the saved instructions from
labscript_device.generate_codeand sending the appropriate commands to the hardware.
transition_to_manual: This method transitions the device from buffered to manual mode. It does any necessary configuration to take the device out of buffered mode and is used to read any measurements and save them to the shot h5 file as results.
runviewer_parser takes shot h5 files, reads the saved instructions, and allows you to view them in runviewer in order to visualise experiment timing.
There are currently two supported file organization styles for a labscript-device.
The old style has the
runviewer_parser all in the same file, which typically has the same name as the
labscript_device class name.
The new style allows for arbitrary code organization, but typically has a folder named after the
labscript_device with each device component in a different file (ie
With this style, the folder requires an
__init__.py file (which can be empty) as well as a
This file imports
from labscript_devices import register_classes
This function informs labscript where to find the necessary classes during import. An example for the
NI_DAQmx device is
register_classes( 'NI_DAQmx', BLACS_tab='labscript_devices.NI_DAQmx.blacs_tabs.NI_DAQmxTab', runviewer_parser='labscript_devices.NI_DAQmx.runviewer_parsers.NI_DAQmxParser', )
Contributions to labscript-devices¶
If you decide to implement a labscript-device for controlling new hardware, we highly encourage you to consider making a pull-request to the labscript-devices repository in order to add your work to the labscript-suite. Increasing the list of supported devices is an important way for the labscript-suite to continue to grow, allowing new users to more quickly get up and running with hardware they may already have.

Cars are a must for everyday life. In many parts of the country, the only way to get around is via an automobile, and for many people, having a working automobile is also an essential part of their livelihood. The problem is that owning a vehicle may seem out of reach for some, especially for those who have bad credit. Bad credit is considered to be any credit score below 600. Those with bad credit, or even just poor or fair credit, may have trouble obtaining an auto loan. Here are tips for purchasing a car for those who have bad credit.
Check Credit Report
The first thing that someone with bad credit should do before seeking an auto loan is take a look at their credit report. A thorough examination may come up with a few mistakes that can be corrected. Those who find errors can dispute them with the three credit bureaus. It can take up to 60 days for an error to removed from a credit report; however, removing an error can lead to a higher credit score. This can make a big difference when getting an auto loan.
Getting financing for a car may be difficult for those who have bad credit, but it's not impossible. Shopping around is a must for those who have low credit scores. There are plenty of bad credit auto lenders out there who are willing to work with those who are looking to buy a car. Some dealerships are also more likely than others to work with those who have credit problems. Getting pre-approved for a loan may also be a good tactic for those who are rebuilding their credit. Credit unions and banks are often willing to lend to those who have bad credit.
Be Prepared For High Interest Rates
When it comes to auto loans for those with bad credit, higher interest rates are pretty much a given. Interest rates for those who have bad credit are on average around 14.75 percent. There are a few things that can be done to get lower interest rates. Newer cars tend to have lower interest rates than older cars. Going with a shorter term loan can also mean a lower interest rate depending on the lender.
Purchasing a car with bad credit is something that is possible. However, it's not always easy. Those with bad credit should check their credit reports before purchasing a car. Catching errors in the report can mean a higher credit score. Shopping around through various dealerships and looking at multiple lenders can ensure the best financing available. It's also important to be prepared for high interest rates. With bad credit, it's likely that the interest rates are going to be higher than average.

If you want or require to get an MBA course, the finest alternative will be an on the internet college MBA course. The complete notion of no cost on-line degree courses is comparatively new and therefore not several students are conscious of it. On the web colleges and universities give you such courses by way of grants & scholarships that are getting supplied by the federal government and private organizations.
With free on line psychology degree courses, you will get to know about a variety of psychology branches. Discover which creative writing courses are available, what subjects they cover and which ones lead to true college credit. It must be recognized that on the net education applications are meant not to ever make learners extra below competent for any job, but rather to supply them with the details and skills that they require to be quite competitive in the marketplace. Young students who might be attended a campus-based college are taking online courses for comfort as effectively. I have been browsing a when for a trust worthy on-line lpn programs but there doesn’t look like there are as well several legit schools about that offer you it. I have observed discussion about it on but didn’t actually see any.
You may well bear in mind this college as the University of Miami On the net High School, but, due to a obtain, this spring brought a new name and renewed power. A single advantage over other on the net high schools is its dual-credit option exactly where students can earn both higher college and college credit for the identical course. Online college courses are pc and internet primarily based creating them highly prone to technical glitches. Online degree programs give students the capacity to have a diploma in numerous accredited programs. All the classroom sessions for the online course are archived generating sure that learners could have straightforward access to them anytime and wherever they select. Online classes can be fantastic if 1 manage to make his timetable fit into other each day activities. For instance, if you are at your workplace from nine to five, you can work on your online course at six or any time soon after your shift.
As an instance, students with a diploma in environmental science at an on the net degree program certified by the National Environmental Wellness Science & Protection Accreditation Council are employed as immediately as the students that get their degree via an on-campus system.
With online courses, your accomplishment depends completely on you and your ability to handle your self and keep on task. At present, TESDA agency is not however giving any education certificate for any of its online courses. Students who are having on line degree applications never have to use the bus to school since they only need a pc and web inside their homes to earn a diploma. Universities worldwide have followed suit to make obtainable on the internet degrees in numerous concentrations and at numerous levels. If you have taken any accredited on-line college courses in the previous, you may want to verify with the school if your credits are transferable.

Whenever we millennials were young, we were always told to be humble. We were fed this idea that owning our success made us egotistical and full of ourselves. While I believe this can become true if we don't stay humble, I believe it is this life lesson that makes many in my generation feel like they aren't successful in life.
Let's talk about the four reasons we need to change our perceptions on owning our successes. I've added some photos highlighting some of my personal successes! I'm super blessed to have been given the gifts that I was given and growing up with a mom, brother, and grandparents who always encouraged and supported the cultivation of those gifts.
1. STRAIGHT UP, SUCCESS IS EARNED REGARDLESS OF
First female Drum Major at my college
Success is defined as "the accomplishment of an aim or purpose." If you set a goal for yourself at your job to complete a task and you completed it, you were successful!
Success by definition must be earned. It comes usually through hard work, passion, and determination.
There is a right and wrong way to celebrate your success. You can acknowledge your success without coming off in a conceited way. This could mean that you accept an award, reporting on your success, or you simply share your success while never forgetting those who helped you accomplish your successes. For me, that means acknowledging that I do all things through Christ. I'll talk more about this later.
Think of owning success as a type of currency. When you work a job, you expect to be paid for it. When you complete a job, you can take the pat on the back!
2. IT IS SERIOUSLY DAMAGING OUR PSYCHE
Recent studies show that the millennial generation is the most anxious generation yet. A big stereotype attached to the millennial generation is that we feel we should be rewarded for every little thing we do right. But, I have a counter to this opinion.
I feel that millennials actually aren't rewarded for even the big things we do right. Back in the day, if you worked hard at your job and took on more responsibility, management saw your commitment to the job and rewarded you with raises and promotions.
Member of the Millennial Commission for the City of Fayetteville, N.C.
Forbes Magazine even dedicated an entire article to the topic "Why Are Millennial Salaries Disproportionately Low?" They found that millennials have a large unemployment rate, not necessarily because of laziness, but because of the demand for experience in the work force.
Millennials are also saddled with an average of $37K in student loan debt after being told by the generation before us that college was needed for a better salary and benefits.
As a matter of example, I was making $11 and hour as a journalist with my degree right out of college. My husband has no college degree and makes about the same amount working in landscaping right now. I know this isn't everyone's story.
All of this was to simply say that we've taken losses in a lot of areas our parents didn't necessarily have to. We are anxious because of money and a lack of feeling successful, but we simply don't celebrate the successes we do have because we were told by society to be humble when we were younger!
With so much already stressing out our generation, we should lift ourselves up when we accomplish something great!
3. WE SHOULDN'T LET OTHERS CONTROL US
2015 Intercollegiate Broadcasting System's Best On-Air Personalities Finalist for our college radio show Gabbie and the Ghost!
The perception of others really shouldn't control us, anyway. Like, who cares if a relative you see once a year doesn't "like" your Facebook post about being selected for a new leadership position at your job?
Who cares if a toxic friend is upset that you posted about a recent success?
At the end of the day, remember this saying that I think I just made up: "You ain't a remote, so stop letting people control you." Be proud of yourself and let those who truly care about you be proud of you, too!
We all spend FAR too much time caring what other people think. At the end of the day, you have to live in your own body, and that means you need to be happy with yourself.
4. WE HAVE TO OWN OUR SUCCESS FIRST
If you lack self-confidence, it can be hard to recognize what you've accomplished. I'm still struggling with this personally. I am a Christian and there's a lot of stigma about success in this faith. However, I credit all my successes in life to Jesus first, but recognize that I was given talents and gifts in this life to help connect other people to the Lord and to themselves! If you don't believe in yourself and the ability to accomplish great things, it simply won't happen.
That's why it is so important that we recognize our own successes first.
2014 Miss Methodist (College Pageant) Miss Congeniality
In these cases, you can't simply write off your success because someone else didn't recognize you for it. Set goals for yourself. Accomplish things for yourself. It makes being recognized for those successes that much more fulfilling!
However, the students who are a part of the college admission scandal seems to align well with the buzz words and phrases often applied to a whole group of people.
If you’re in the U.S., you’ve probably heard news lately of the University of Southern California’s high-profile college admissions scandal. If you haven’t, here’s some information:
Fifty people have been charged in federal court for conspiracy to illicitly gain admission for high school students to top colleges and universities, including the University of Southern California. Some notable names tied up in this conspiracy include Lori Loughlin (left), who played Becky on Full House, and Felicity Huffman from Desperate Housewives.
Each of the 50 conspirators paid as much as $6.5 million to get their children into prestigious schools. This money may have been used to purchase a building on campus, donate to university advancement causes, or to bribe professors or administrators.
AN ONGOING PROBLEM
My immediate opinion is that, duh, this has been happening for years. I mean, just look at Hollywood. They’ve made a number of movies where the snobby rich kid’s parents donate to the college, and that makes them near untouchable. Did everyone think that was just a made-up movie antagonist? No, that happens in real life in colleges, universities, and prep schools around the globe.
THIS IS WHY IT ISN'T OK
One thing that really frustrated me was that some of these parents even bribed testing officials to look the other way while their child cheated on the SATs. That isn’t fair to someone from the projects who doesn’t have money but busted their butt in class and in the library to ace the test in hopes of attending Harvard.
This means that they are likely considered for and offered better jobs. Imagine Loughlin’s daughter becoming some CEO of a large company. She did absolutely nothing to get there, but she is now making decisions on things that could change the course of not only a company, but of the U.S. Many companies are tied up in politics, which is also largely influenced by campaign dollars.
WAYS THE RICH HAVE CHEATED THE SYSTEM
WHY IT FRUSTRATES MILLENNIALS
I will say that what adds to millennial frustration is the fact that these people who are our peers become CEOs, sometimes even becoming our bosses. For those of us who went to college, studied in a field that will actually make us money, and joined a career, it is frustrating to have a complete idiot as a boss. They don’t know what they’re doing, and it shows. This frustrates our generation to no end because we can’t move forward in our careers. I’m glad I don’t have this issue personally, but I know that a number of people suffer because of it.
But, it is crucial that you readers understand that these were top schools. They aren’t really wanting for money, they’re just being greedy.
In my opinion, we should do a sweep of all of the top schools and investigate for fraud. Charges should also be put against others who are found guilty of doing this. Students accused of fraud should be put on academic leave. If it were up to me, schools who accepted these funds should have to pay a penalty, as they were in the wrong as well.
The U.S. is sad. No promotions. No raises. No praises for a job well done. I think attacking this issue head on will help improve mental health and job security around the country. What’s your opinion? I want to know!
Write something about yourself. No need to be fancy, just an overview.

First Interdisciplinary Conference
“Man and his creations” Human – Theater 21 – 23 OCTOBER 2020 ATHENS
ONLINE CONFERENCE – ATHENS CALL ATHENS
Dear ladies and gentlemen,
I would like to start by greeting the honorable participants of this conference, and especially the Greek participants from around the world. I would also like to express my thanks to the AKA President Giorgos Psathas, as well as to the conference organizers, for this excellent initiative.
I hope that the City of Athens will soon become the Cultural Capital of all the Athens in this world and beyond.
In a future world, actors have been replaced by humanoids. Their director and manipulator is an Artificial Intelligent computer called, The Maestro, which directs the performances by constantly interacting between the humanoid actors and the viewers.
The theater, as we knew it, is dead. For many years, actors have ceded the rights of their faces and voices for a significant amount of money to a multinational entertainment company that now manages the theatrical shows worldwide. This new art form that abolished the term “theater” or “drama”, was called “Auto – drama” or “Auto-theater”, which means the automatic theater that operates with specific programming of AI. Technically, humanoid – actors are perfect, but they lack something very – very important: the feeling, the artistic breath and the emotion of creation, elements that only the technically “imperfect” human- actors had in the past.
In his novel written in 1955, the American author Walter M. Miller, Jr. places the above story at the beginning of the 21st century.
The protagonist is a former famous actor who belonged to the so-called “Darfsteller” actors. “Darfsteller” is a German word meaning the emotional actor, the self-directed actor. Darfstellers were the actors who were able to completely identify themselves with the role that they were playing as opposed to the common “Schauspieler” actors who performed their role by using only the technique (methodology), which is, external, without emotion, as it is called in the theatrical language.
The hero of the novel, Ryan Thornier, in an explosion not only from an artistic passion, but mainly from a humanity and an existential justification, the former actor, who now cleans the theater for living, will create the conditions for his reappearance on the theatrical stage, playing together with the humanoids, in a play that once he was triumphed. And from this moment until his majestic departure from the stage, the spectator watches the anguished course of the human – actor who suffers trying to complete his last performance, the last performance of a human being on this planet, the last performance of his world as he knew it, trying to complete his existence and his mission, thus interpreting his existence, in a world that now AI has replaced him.
Miller’s work is perhaps the only text in the history of utopian or dystopian texts that places art at its core, namely the most living art of the arts, the Theater. The other texts we know deal with the delicate balances of society in general. We will mention some of these texts and their authors that we believe Miller was influenced by.
Some of futuristic texts, fantasy literature, science fiction, the utopias of past centuries unfolding in unknown continents, countries and states, such as The Republic of Plato,
The Utopia by Thomas More, the novels of Jules Verne, along with the prophetic texts of H.G.Wells, Aldous Huxley, and George Orwell’s landmark work, 1984.
In this novel, one of the most famous dystopias of the last century, the author presents a future controlled by the dominant figure of the Big Brother, with the Party controlling the meanings of words, of history and of the collective memory of the people.
In another novel by Pohl Frederic and Cornbluth M.C. “The space Merchants” written in 1953, reveals a future dominated by advertising companies. The concept of citizen has been replaced by the concept of consumer, Members of Parliament represent not constituencies but companies, inequalities are absolute, the environment is polluted and the commonly accepted proverbs (slogans) are “Political power refines, absolute political power refines absolutely” and” it is better thousand innocent people to suffer than a guilty person to escape “.
Continuing in another dystopian novel “With Folded Hands” by Jack Williamson, robots, having as a main command in their programming to protect humans, establish a benevolent and ruthless dictatorship where happiness is imposed by the punishment of lobotomy.
During the first months of 2020, theaters worldwide were closed due to measures to control the Corona virus pandemic.
Theater suddenly ceased to exist as a form of art. After the initial freeze from the closure of the theaters, cinematic or televised hybrids began to appear in our TV or computer screens. Videotaped or streamlined performances tried to keep or simulate some of the magic atmosphere of the theatrical act. By this, the only thing that was achieved, it was to reinforce the viewer’s desire to see a live performance and not a show through the screen of a mobile phone.
Theater, as a child of democracy, is the act that created the dialogue. Ancient Athens during the Golden Age was the birthplace of the theatrical act based on written poetic texts, organized upon specific aesthetic rules.
From the time of the ancient tragic poets until today, theater has experienced many adventures, it has gone through various fluctuations and changed many faces.
Behind all this, something that has remained unchanged until today and it will remain so,as long as there are people on earth and it continues man’s desire to communicate with his peers through some form of expression, which is not recorded in everyday life; as well as, man’s mood to succumb to the magic world of a piece of art which is sculpted in front of his eyes and that refers directly to the human existence, theater will continue to live.
Theater represents the public discourse. It is the mirror of society which is regenerated in the space of the stage, repeating the experiment of the human adventure. In the world of artistic spectacles such as cinema, television, dance, etc., the main interest of creation is the man who presents an important or an insignificant story of some human beings. Theater in this respect, is the most genuine of all artistic spectacles, as it refers to the dramatic hero who is the man himself, by using the psychosomatic reactions of humans through the actors in real time and in front of real people, the spectators.
According to theater researcher Hara Bakonikola: The theatrical stage gives the spectator the opportunity to turn his or her gaze to any contributor or object or part of the space is wishing at any time. On the contrary, cinematographic camera restricts the viewer’s eye “dictatorially”, forcing it (with the respective point of view chosen by the director, and with the zoom technique – gradual approach or removal of the lens from persons or objects) to see only what the camera, and therefore, the director “sees”.
In the dramatic art, “logos” is the basis and the beginning of its essence. “Logos” which is dressed the human being and it is expressed through the psychosomatic expressions.
The theater concerns with the journey to an inner and invisible human land, where all our thoughts, emotions, feelings, imaginations, reveries, dreams, fantasies, secrets, ambitions, hopes, fears, doubts, perplexities, all our affections, speculations, reside. ponderings, vacuities, uncertainties, all our derives, longings, appetites, sensations, our likes, dislikes, aversions, attractions, loves and hates. All are themselves invisible. They constitute “oneself”. All this are the theater world. Theater explores the invisible, relies on the invisible, as it creates emotions. It is a method of producing emotions, which are experienced by a group of people at the same time. The audience, the spectators.
Next May 2021, in Athens, I will direct a play entitled “The last performance of the world”. A theatrical performance based on the novel Darfsteller by Walter M. Miller, Jr. and adapted as a monologue by me. Nikos Gialelis will be the only Actor. The same show will be able to be performed as well, in English and French, in a way to appeal to more and more spectators, making a world tour. In addition, this story will be shot in a movie in French.
In the research we made for this performance we met Sophia. Sophia is a social humanoid robot developed by Hong Kong-based Company Hanson Robotics. The robot’s creator, Dr David Hanson, believes that by 2035 ‘androids will surpass nearly everything that humans can do’.
A new generation of androids will be able to pass University exams, earn Ph.D.s and function with the intelligence levels of an 18 year old human. These advanced machines will go on to start what Dr Hanson calls the ‘Global Robotic Civil Rights Movement’. The movement itself is expected to happen in 2038 and will be used to question the ethical treatment of AI machines within human society.
But it won’t be until the year 2045 that the Global Robotic Civil Rights Movement will have pushed the Western world to recognize androids as living entities, with the US being the first country to grant them full civil rights, including the right to marry both people and other robots.
I do not know if at that time we or our grandchildren will experience the first performance in Epidaurus of an ancient tragedy with humanoids. I also do not know if android (humanoid) people will sit on the spectator seats. Theater lasted for 2500 years, I think it is unlikely that it will die, as no art ever dies. Science fiction does not play the role of a prophet. Its basic technique is to examine the consequences that a scientific discovery or a technological innovation, would have on society and man.
These texts create exercises on paper for the “Tomorrowland” on this planet, they provoque questions that sometimes coincide with reality. The “tomorrow–phobia”, is more than inappropriate and perhaps dangerous in our time. We must stand in front of tomorrow with our minds open to risks and its magic. After all, we will live there. (After all, theatre will survive with its rules and its magic in all utopias or dystopias of the future).

In over three a long time on the coalface of United Nations fieldwork, the scenes witnessed by the creator throughout humanitarian service in Myanmar previously two years, are among the many worst visited on any individuals, in any a part of the world. Having served extensively within the Congo, Afghanistan, Sudan, Somalia, Syria, Rwanda, Cambodia, and Tigray, these conflicts all introduced their distinctive challenges, however there’s a desperation to the Myanmar state of affairs that exceeds even the distress of these different infamous conflicts. First, the Myanmar disaster has created the world’s largest camp of displaced populations. Second, the nation is ridden with internecine, intractable and atavistic ethnic battle of a brutality seldom evidenced within the fashionable world. And at last, as of February 2021, all the nation, and its sprawling communities of the displaced, has simply imploded in a vicious coup.
Myanmar as soon as once more leaves all these advocating human rights with a way of deep despair. Army rule in all however identify, the violent suppression of protest, the incarceration of the harmless, and the destiny of the displaced, all cry out for worldwide motion. But nearly the one ethical victory achieved to date is ASEAN’S token rejection of the nation’s navy thugs at its personal removed from scrupulous diplomatic desk. Avenue resistance has been ongoing all through Myanmar because the military took over on 1 February 2021, suffocating a legitimately elected authorities and successfully disappearing its management. Elected chief Aung San Suu Kyi and members of her Nationwide League for Democracy (NLD) get together are amongst these detained (Cuddy, 2021.)
Hundreds of harmless individuals, a lot of them unintentional casualties of state crackdown, have been murdered. Yangon, Mandalay, and the diplomatic enclave of Nay Pyi Taw have run with the blood of fervent widespread protest. With a yearlong state of emergency, and media suppression, the surface world can solely think about the unspeakable brutality perpetrated by an illegitimate junta impervious to exterior scrutiny. “Elections are straightforward”, a veteran politician in a neighbouring nation informed me as soon as, “It’s the outcomes that are troublesome”. Within the face of one other landslide victory by Ms. Suu Kyi’s NLD get together the junta plainly knew their pseudo-government’s writing lay on a blood-stained wall.
The Myanmar armed forces had backed the opposition, who have been demanding a rerun of the vote, claiming widespread fraud which the election fee declared as completely unsubstantiated. The generals aren’t good listeners. Thus, the military coup happened exactly as a brand new session of parliament was scheduled to open, and with the nation’s official chief behind bars. Ms. Suu Kyi stays “vanished”.
Worryingly, Ms. Suu Kyi’s location stays a state secret. She remains to be below legal investigation for an assortment of grave prices, together with violating the nation’s official secrets and techniques act, possessing unlawful radios and for public statements that will “trigger concern or alarm”. NLD MPs who averted arrest fashioned a brand new group in hiding. Their chief has urged protesters to defend themselves in opposition to the crackdown. The navy commander-in-chief Min Aung Hlaing has taken energy. Min has lengthy wielded important political affect, efficiently sustaining the facility of the Tatmadaw – Myanmar’s navy – even because the nation acquired a beauty facade of democracy.
Min has acquired worldwide condemnation and sanctions for his alleged position within the navy’s assaults on ethnic minorities however is sort of impervious to censure, virtually relishing public protest as proof of constructive impact. Realizing how a lot Min depends on soothsayers, Min’s actions comply with his newest astral recommendation In his first public feedback after the coup, Gen Hlaing sought to justify the takeover. He claimed the navy backed the individuals and would kind a “true and disciplined democracy”. This proclamation was made whilst Rangoon’s detention facilities have been packed to capability with real democrats and the streets ran with the blood of protestors. In that mild Min’s declare that the navy will maintain a “free and truthful” election as soon as the state of emergency is over, should be taken with nice circumspection.
An uneasy peace had characterised the final two years of the “pseudo-democracy” the navy had reluctantly tolerated and now (predictably) protests over the coup have been the biggest because the so-called Saffron Revolution in 2007, when 1000’s of monks revolted in opposition to the navy regime. The credibility of “the Girl” had been dented by her look on the Hague, and because the Burmese public anxiously awaited how the generals would react to unwelcome information from the polls. Maybe the one glint of optimism is that even when Ms. Aung’s fall from grace is deadly, the pro-democracy motion has now developed an autonomy which might exist impartial of any chief.
In Myanmar, the spine of protest are the skilled courses. The poor are so immiserated and susceptible to reprisal to danger defiance of the military. Protesters embrace lecturers, attorneys, college students, financial institution officers and authorities staff. The navy has imposed ignominious restrictions, together with curfews and limits to gatherings. Safety forces have used water cannons, rubber bullets and dwell ammunition to attempt to disperse protesters. The protestors saved on coming which is itself a sworn statement to the favored fervor which underlies Burmese democracy.
On 27 March, within the deadliest day because the coup, more than 100 people were killed. There have been a number of days since the place there was an equal lack of harmless life, and nonetheless worldwide motion has been restricted. The ineffective powers of the United Nations have been uncovered, akin to would possibly carry tears to former Secretary Basic U. Thant as he lies reposing in his modest mausoleum near the gilded stupa of the Shwedagon Pagoda.
Aung San Suu Kyi had develop into a worldwide icon within the Nineteen Nineties for campaigning to revive democracy. She had spent 15 years in detention between 1989 and 2010, after organizing rallies calling for democratic reform and free elections. She was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1991 whereas below home arrest. In 2015, she led the NLD to victory in Myanmar’s first overtly contested election in 25 years. Now (alas) many see her as Myanmar’s democratic icon who fell from grace. Ms. Suu Kyi’s worldwide status has suffered vastly due to Myanmar’s therapy of the Rohingya minority.
Myanmar considers the Rohingya merely as unlawful immigrants and denies them citizenship. Over a long time, many have fled the nation to flee persecution. Hundreds of Rohingya have been killed and greater than 700,000 fled to Bangladesh following a military crackdown in 2017. Ms. Suu Kyi appeared earlier than the Worldwide Court docket of Justice in 2019, the place she denied allegations that the navy had dedicated genocide. Her status has by no means fairly recovered. Quite a few nations have condemned the navy takeover and subsequent crackdown. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken has accused the safety forces of a “reign of terror”. The U.S., U.Ok. and European Union have all responded with targeted sanctions on the military. It has been to little avail.
As anticipated, China blocked a UN Security Council statement condemning the coup, however has backed requires the discharge of Ms. Suu Kyi and a return to democratic norms. The nation has beforehand opposed worldwide intervention in Myanmar. Southeast Asian nations have been pursuing diplomatic efforts to finish the disaster. In one of many extra important affronts, the UN chief strategically delayed his ASEAN assembly to keep away from the Myanmar military envoy (BBC Information, 15 Oct. 2021). The military didn’t relish this public shame in entrance of their ASEAN neighbors, however Guterres choice comes as ASEAN prepares to carry additional emergency conferences amid frustration on the Burmese navy’s failure to implement the ASEAN peace plan.
UN Secretary-Basic Antonio Guterres postponed a virtual meeting with ASEAN on the final minute to keep away from the Myanmar regime’s international minister. The ill-fated assembly between the UN secretary-general and international ministers from the 10-member Affiliation of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) – together with Wunna Maung Lwin, the international minister appointed by the navy – is a tentative signal that the worldwide neighborhood are resolute in opposition to the junta. Nevertheless, it’s troubling that Myanmar received’t enable ASEAN’S envoy to fulfill Aung San Suu Kyi. UN diplomats, talking on situation of anonymity, stated Guterres had an actual headache over the choice by UN member states on who will sit in Myanmar’s seat on the world physique. Rival claims have been made by the navy and Kyaw Moe Tun, the present UN ambassador who was appointed by the elected authorities.
ASEAN agreed on a five-point consensus with Min Aung Hlaing in April, however the generals have made no progress in its implementation and have additionally dominated out permitting a regional envoy, Brunei’s second international affairs minister, Erywan Yusof, to fulfill Aung San Suu Kyi. The navy was supposed to finish its crackdown on opponents to the coup below April’s five-point consensus, however violence continues It additionally continues to crack down on these against its rule, with at the very least 1,171 individuals killed because the energy seize and greater than 7,000 individuals arrested, in line with native monitoring group the Help Affiliation for Political Prisoners. The military has additionally been accused of assaults in ethnic minority areas within the nation’s border areas which have compelled 1000’s to flee, in addition to concentrating on church buildings and Christian clergy. The Rohingya and different minorities have additionally once more suffered from the backlash.
In an open letter ASEAN Parliamentarians for Human Rights, a bunch of regional lawmakers, urged ASEAN to not invite the regime to its summit due to its “blatant disregard” for the five-point consensus. ASEAN regretted: “A scarcity of decisiveness and penalties for the navy’s whole contempt for the ASEAN leaders’ settlement dangers undermining the bloc’s legitimacy as a key regional participant that may carry peace and stability,” stated their letter, which was additionally signed by dozens of different civil society teams and activists. United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken added his voice advocating with ASEAN: “to carry the Burmese regime accountable to the ASEAN 5-Level Consensus and facilitate a significant go to by ASEAN’S Envoy, Ambassador Erywan to Burma to incorporate engagements with all stakeholders,” the State Division confirmed. The unscheduled digital ASEAN assembly, hosted by Brunei, the present ASEAN chair, has solely additional enraged Myanmar’s junta in line with a number of sources based mostly in ASEAN member nations, together with diplomats and authorities officers, in a communique to Reuters. A UN committee, which incorporates Russia, China and america, should take into account Myanmar’s competing credential purposes. The navy has put ahead Aung Thurein as its candidate for Myanmar’s UN seat.
With no signal of junta retrenchment, the massive query stays as to how even a vestige of Myanmar’s democracy may be salvaged from the spoils of coup. As soon as once more, we’re within the nation’s emergency room with Burmese protesters combating to their final breath. Can any sense of Myanmar democracy be saved? Or the extra pertinent query stays, was it ever something greater than a strategic phantasm? Maybe saving Myanmar belongs solely in that submitting cupboard of intractable conundrums together with the likes of Israel-Palestine or Western Sahara that simply defy UN paracetamol. Ilan Pappe deftly portrays the Occupied Territories because the “greatest jail on earth” (Pappe, 2017). Right here in Myanmar, humanity is tolerating the biggest refugee compound the world has just lately seen, and doubtless one of many biggest displacements of inhabitants in latest historical past. I’m not positive it may be saved, nonetheless much less that there’s a world conscience resilient sufficient to use greater than a band-aid to the humanitarian and political catastrophe which is Myanmar right now.

Colony care involves much more than simply feeding cats. It is a daily, year-long responsibility that involves trapping, neutering, vaccinating, and releasing the cats into an environment that will improve the quality of their lives. Cats need shelter and a safe place to eat on a predictable schedule. They need to be monitored to assess the health of the colony. There are some basic guidelines to assist in this worthy endeavor.
Maintain a regular, timed feeding schedule – Do not leave any food out for more than 30 minutes, unless the animals are locked in a shelter overnight. Leaving food out for longer periods attracts wildlife, which can cause problems for you, your neighbors, the cats, and the wildlife itself. If your cats are sheltered overnight in a closed environment such as a garage, food can be left with them until morning – just like you would in your home.
Provide Shelters – Many caregivers use a garage or shed to shelter these animals. Some caregivers keep the shelter door slightly open 24/7, have a cat door, or lock the felines inside these shelters at night. Others have great success by providing outdoor shelters – either commercially available or of the do-it-yourself variety. There is no one right way to provide shelter. But you must do it. Animals will begin to recognize their “shelters” as a place of safety and are less likely to cause neighbor problems. There are many tips available on our website to help keep your cats cozy during the winter and comfortable during the summer.
Remember Litterboxes – No one wants a cat “digging” in their yard. It is your responsibility to provide litter boxes placed in a discreet location on your property or in a shelter like a garage. Obviously, keep the litter boxes clean. Trust us, community cats love litter boxes!
Maintain Records – Make sure you monitor the ongoing health of each cat in your colony. Keep all vet records. If another cat should show up and has not been sterilized and vaccinated, call us.
Be a Good Neighbor – This is one of the most important aspects of colony management. Not everyone is an animal lover, but most people can be tolerant. It is up to you to make all reasonable efforts to ensure these cats do not cause neighborhood issues. Therefore, keep your yard and shelters clean and inviting, that way your yard and shelters are the place where the cats want to be!In Your Absence – Provide a replacement caretaker during your absence.

The vast majority of conversations in the world, we discovered from Suzanne Simard’s brilliant Finding the Mother Tree: Discovering the Wisdom of the Forest, are silent. Intricate lines of communication between trees thrive in underground mycorrhizal fungi networks.
by David Stone
Assorted Ideas, Large & Small
Two decades ago, while researching her doctoral thesis, ecologist Suzanne Simard discovered that trees communicate their needs and send each other nutrients via a network of latticed fungi buried in the soil — in other words, she found, they “talk” to each other. – Yale Environmental 360
But it would be a mistake imagining that talking between trees is an exception. More likely, it’s the rule in circumstances as wide-ranging as you can imagine.
But there are over 3 trillion trees, more than there are stars in our galaxy and half of all the plants on Earth. So it’s not surprising that most of the conversations in the world are silent.
The wind carries the scent of pines to one another. The roots of maples touch and communicate. Seasoned foresters can tell you which trees are communicating with each other just by looking at them.
The Real Masters…
But it’s the mycorrhizal fungi that are the real masters of communication in the forest. These fungi form a network that connects the roots of most plants and trees. The mycorrhizal fungi act as an information superhighway, carrying messages back and forth between trees.
In her book, Simard describes how the mycorrhizal fungi network allows trees to share water, carbon, and nutrients. The network also helps sick or stressed trees by sending them warning signals.
The real magic, though is in discovering how they know where, when and what to do. Where are the brains?
Simard’s research has shown that these underground communication systems are vital to the health of forests. And they could hold the key to helping us manage and protect these important ecosystems in the face of climate change.
Human-centric definitions define brains, knowing, learning and consciousness in line with what people have. But there is no natural rule that all brains and associated activities must be just like ours.
The key is in understanding that there are different kinds of intelligence and that these can be distributed throughout an organism or system. This is the case with plants, trees and fungi. They don’t have our kind of brain but they do have other ways of sensing, knowing and responding to their environment.
So when we say that the mycorrhizal fungi network is the brain of the forest, we’re not using a metaphor. We’re simply recognizing that this network performs many of the functions of a brain.
The mycorrhizal fungi network is like the Internet of the natural world. It’s an information superhighway that connects the roots of most plants and trees.
But what about smaller, far less complex organisms like single-cell bacteria?
They don’t have brains but they do have ways of sensing and responding to their environment. They communicate with each other and cooperate to achieve common goals.
As we have known for the last 20 years, “Signaling in bacteria enables bacteria to monitor extracellular conditions, ensure that there are sufficient amounts of nutrients, and ensure that hazardous situations are avoided. There are circumstances, however, when bacteria communicate with each other.” – Lumen Learning, Signalling in Bacteria.
In other words, no hard and fast rule requires human-style brains for intelligence or communication at any level.
This realization has profound implications for how we think about the natural world and our place in it.
If we want to understand how the natural world works, we need to start paying attention to the silent conversations that are taking place all around us.
Are the Trees Talking to Us As Well As Each Other?
A hillside lush with the greens of summertime trees danced in the wind, branches and leaves coordinating in the sun.
One of the most exhilarating experiences in my life has stuck with me for decades. While I waited in the lobby of a motel in Vestal, New York, the dance of the trees caught my attention. The more I watched, the more attractive it became.
We know that trees silently talk with each through the air and underground, but why wouldn’t they talk to the rest of the world around them? Including me?
The idea seems crazy at first but that’s because of the unscientific misinformation we’ve been given since childhood. Remember when cats and dogs were supposed to have no feelings? No emotions or awareness?
We know that’s completely untrue now, but it held as truth for centuries. Even today, it allows for unimaginable carnage committed against other animals harvested for food and research.
But we also now know that everything is connected. That is, engaged. We can’t pretend we don’t know or close our minds to possibilities for interaction. We can, however, refuse as many do because it’s convenient and eases feelings of guilt.
We’re beginning to realize that other forms of life have a lot to teach us. If we’re open to learning, that is.
So back to the question: Are the trees talking to us as well as each other?
The answer is a resounding yes!
They’ve been trying to talk to us for a very long time. It’s just that we haven’t been listening.
And what we’re learning is fascinating, inspiring and often surprising.

Turbine Legend is an American high performance Aircraft. Designed by Performance Aircraft. The power/weight ratio is similar to a fighter jet.
The aircraft is equipped with the latest avionic technology, newer than in most airliners. The engine is one the most reliable turbine engines ever.
The pilot will show the passenger how to climb up and sit down in the aircraft, carefully avoiding certain restricted areas. After buckling up, he passenger will be briefed about controlling the aircraft. Touching the controls is prohibited at any time during the flight. The pilot might grant the passenger the ability to control the aircraft if and when certain conditions are met. The command “Your control” will mark the moment the pilot is ready to hand over the aircraft to the passenger. The passenger must acknowledge it by using the phrase “My control”. During takeoff and landing, the aircraft is in controlled airspace, which requires the pilot to communicate with Skyguide operators. During this time free communication between the passenger and the pilot is not possible. In case of emergency, the pilot will provide a clear set of instructions that must be followed.
Startup of the engine and all connected systems is a continuous process. Once a stable engine run is achieved, electronics and communication systems can be turned on. Thereafter, passenger-pilot communication is enabled.
The takeoff phase requires pilot's complete attention, therefore the passenger's communication channel will be disabled. The rotation speed of the aircraft is 85 KT (150 km/h).
Let’s be honest, not everybody’s stomach reacts the same to extreme maneuvers performed by the pilot. This is why an airsickness bag is placed under the seat cushion. In cases of extreme discomfort, the passenger has to inform the pilot, and the flight will be aborted immediately.
After takeoff, the aircraft climbs like a fighter jet to the target altitude of the training space. Once the altitude is reached, the passenger can get the chance to fly the aircraft. At which moment, the pilot hands over the control of the aircraft using the phrase "Your control". In order to accept the control, the passenger must confirm by saying the phrase "My control". Other than that, the passenger's only job is to sit back and enjoy the flight.
The landing phase requires the pilot's full attention since there are many details to pay attention to for a successful landing. Once the aircraft is parked, the pilot and the passenger do a debriefing, exchanging experiences and impressions.

4.1 Add State to the App
The overall design of this app is going to be based on states. At any given time, our app will be in one of four states, so it will need to be written so that it can transition between any of those states.

2.Building the Foundation3 lessons, 27:38
3.Creating the User Interface7 lessons, 1:06:19
4.Application Logic6 lessons, 37:10
5.Conclusion1 lesson, 00:38
4.1 Add State to the App
Now, let's start to introduce the idea of transitioning between states within our application. So one of the more common ways that you can do this is using some sort of enumeration to define what state you are currently in within your application. So what I'm gonna do is I'm going to come out here on top of my class definition. And you can do this in a separate file if you want, but just to keep things simple for now, I'm gonna create a new enumeration and I'm gonna call it reminder states. So then within here I can create a number of case statements that are gonna define what these states are within my application, and as of right now, there's going to be four to start with. Now, you could add to this, obviously, and make it a little bit more granular, but we're gonna keep things simple, so we're gonna consider ourselves in a ready state when we first come into our application when nothing's really happening. When no active stage is currently in process. And then we're gonna transition from there into a running state. So that means at any point, in time a given stage within my reminder can be running. And then we can go from there to being stage done, which means whatever stage was currently running is now done. And then the entire reminder can be done in and of itself. So these are just four that I've defined right now, but like I've said before, you can change this to be just about anything that you want. So now what we're going to do is we're going to say that when we initially come into our reminder interface controller and we're getting started with everything, the initial state is going to be ready. So we're just going to create a private variable here. A private variable that's going to be state, and I'm gonna set that equal to ReminderStates.Ready. So that's where we are going to start, and we're actually going to make this active index private as well. And we're also going to set the activeStage equal to private as well. We're gonna keep those things private, so that we're only accessing those things inside our ReminderInterfaceController. And nobody on the outside can really dictate these variables. So that's where we're gonna start at. So now I want to start to transition in between all of these different states and how am I going to do that? Well, I'm going to be doing that typically with an action button clicked event. So now that I have this function in here I can search and tie these things together. So when a button is clicked, I'm going to run a switch statement here, and I'm going to switch on whatever my current state is. So that way we can come in here, and start to fill in the different cases in which we're going to handle these things. So we have a ready state. And I can already see that it's not liking state, because I wrote stage down here below. This is actually going to be state, and then from here I can have a ready state. I can copy this and drop down here, so I can go into a running state. I can be from there, I can go into a stage done. So we'll say stage done. And then, we'll go into, A done. Now, one of the nice things about using an enumeration for something like this is that when I come into my switch statement, there is a predefined number of states, or number of values, or cases within that enumeration. So, I can actually get rid of this default, because I know I'm handling all the different situations, or all the different scenarios. Okay. So now I can start to handle these different states in certain ways. So how can we do that? Well, one of the ways that you can do that is via some sort of transitioning functions. So what I want to do now, is I want to have a couple of different functions that are going to help me transition between the different states. So I'm going to come down here and I'm going to create a couple of different private functions. So another private function here, and the first one is going to be say start. And I wanna call start when I'm in the ready state and I click this button. So I'm going to execute the start function at this point, and the next one that I'm gonna want is going to be end stage. So I can short circuit where I'm at, within the process. So I'll say, End Stage. And this is going to happen when I'm in a running state. So I'll call End Stage running. Let's create another private function here. And this one is going to be, when I am currently in a stage-done state, then I wanna be able to advance to the next stage. So we'll just say, we'll call this advance, so if I am at a StageDone state. Then I am going to call the advanced function. And then, when I am in a done state, I am going to simply do a reset. So we'll do private function. We'll do reset like this. And if I am in a done state. I will do reset just like this. Okay. So let's go ahead and save that. So as you can start to see we're starting to get a little bit of a flow here within our application. We have four different stages, I'm gonna transition between those stages based on some button click events as well as some timer things that we're gonna work on in the next lesson. And we're gonna be able to use all these things to transition between different states and provide different functionality and a different user experience based on those different states of our application.

The British public is belatedly waking up to dangers of trans fats - the cheap, chemically treated oils that lurk unlabelled in many processed foods. Alex Renton investigates the ingredient viewed with suspicion even by the junk food-loving Americans
The brick of vegetable fat is tacky to the touch, grey-white and translucent - like the skin on a corpse, I think, but this is unscientific. We are here to test the semi-solid vegetable fat Cookeen against butter and we must be objective. But the butter looks so much prettier on the baker's rolling board: its genteel yellow makes you think of primroses and little-girls' dresses, not of morgues.
Drew Massey, the baker, makes his mind up pretty quickly. "It just doesn't feel right," he says, as he rubs the vegetable fat into the flour and baking powder. "It's really tough." But he smiles when he turns to do the same with the butter. "That's better." When the eggs and milk are mixed in and both lumps of dough are lying like deflated footballs on the board, ready for cutting into scones, Massey tries to articulate the feeling. "I haven't got the words - it's 30 years of doing it that tells you. This one is ropey, tough. It's not going to be a nice product. But this is nice - it's short. There's no pull on it."
Pull is bad and short is good if you are a scone-baker: the scone will have a crumbly texture because the butter has properly coated the gluten molecules, preventing it from making the chains that will result in "pull" - the elasticity you want in bread but not scones. The hydrogenated vegetable oil (HVO) of the Cookeen, by contrast, seems to have penetrated the gluten. While the two sets of scones bake, Massey reveals his philosophy of ingredients: "I do what my dad did and he did what his dad did."
Massey's father, Ivan, was a traditional master-baker with a chain of shops around Lincoln. He held out against the rise in the 60s of the mega-bakeries, which exploited the new technologies. "He just didn't do any of the new things - no vacuum-processors for the bread, no instant yeasts, no industrial fats - he just didn't see that he was going to bake better."
With these principles as their business plan, Drew and his two partners opened the Manna House in Edinburgh just over a year ago on Easter Road, not the smartest street in central Edinburgh. But despite the presence of a chain-store baker, Gregg's, and a Co-op half a minute's walk down the road, there are queues every morning outside Manna House for rye loaves, bloomers, sourdough and pains au chocolat.
Curiously, when the scones emerge from the oven after 15 minutes the vegetable fat one is a clear winner on looks. It's gold and brown on top, with that classic toppled look, aching to be filled with cream and strawberry jam. Massey starts looking nervous for his butter scones, which are rather squat. But when it comes to the taste test there is no contest. The butter scone melts on the tongue. It crumbles. It's sweet and nutty. The Cookeen scone is sort of rubbery when broken and the taste is metallic, a tap- water flavour: if I hadn't watched the process I would swear it was made with different flour. The Cookeen scone has hydrogenated vegetable oil in it. The Food Standards Agency describes what hydrogenation means: "Hydrogenation is one of the processes that can be used to turn liquid oil into solid fat ... During the process of hydrogenation, trans fats may be formed. This means that foods that contain hydrogenated vegetable oil (always declared in the ingredients list) may also contain trans fats."
When Massey's father was baking in the 50s with eggs and milk, Canadian flour and butter, his colleagues were modernising. That meant using chemical bread-improvers, preservatives such as ascorbic acid, powdered eggs - "My dad hated those" - and, of course, the new hydrogenated fats. These were the result of a simple process perfected at the end of the 19th century. By attaching hydrogen atoms to oil molecules in the high-temperature process called hydrogenation you could raise the melting point of all sorts of previously useless oils - thus making them more stable and suitable for manufacturing everything from soap to axle grease.
In 1911 Procter & Gamble, then a soap and candle-maker, spotted how hydrogenation could be applied to food oils. It made a vegetable fat, Crisco, from cottonseed oil, using unwanted seeds from cotton mills. Tinned Crisco was an immediate hit in US households, cheaper than the lard it replaced and with a life of two years at room temperature before it went off. A replacement for butter followed: the oils for margarine precisely hydrogenated to remain solid at room temperature but giving the sensation of melting in the mouth.
The hydrogenated fats usefully mimicked the properties of pork and beef fats so they went into halal, kosher and vegetarian foods. By the 60s, 60% of American vegetable oils used in food were partly hydrogenated, and some research declared the trans fats actively healthy. In the baking business, the oils were crucial for the new fast-mixing and proving techniques, that needed oils that kept their solidity at widely different temperatures. The fact that these fats didn't go off, like butter or lard, gave bread and pastries a longer shelf life. They also had higher flashpoints, making them safer for frying. And best of all was that the hydrogenated oils - whether they first came from whales or palm trees, soya beans or rapeseed - were fabulously cheap.
Before, the process of baking was designed around the ingredients: now the ingredients were altered for the process. As with so many additives, once the food industry had found the cheapest method (and catering fats based on hydrogenated oil are about 12% the price of butter) it set about justifying it in other ways. Always ready with a euphemism, the industry sold HVOs as "vegetable fats" or "shortening", which certainly sounded nicer than animal fats. And it worked. British home cooks turned from lard and butter to margarine and vegetable fat.
To ascertain what an ordinary consumer might be told about this, I rang the Liverpool helpline of Princes Foods, Cookeen's manufacturers, and asked if I should be worried about the hydrogenated vegetable oil listed on the back of the wrapper. "It's been used for years and we haven't had any problems with it whatsoever," said a friendly woman on the customer-care line. "It's not a health issue."
But, I said, I had read about coronary disease. "Oh, it's just had some adverse publicity. There's been some newspapers talking about heart problems. But it's been used since the early part of this century."
Despite what the helpline said, Cookeen has announced that it will be "reformulating" in the autumn to remove trans fats.
Trans fats, or trans-fatty acids, are the more popular name for HVOs (which, confusingly, are more correctly PHVOs, partially hydrogenated vegetable oils). They have been the food scare of this summer. TF or TFAs are - a quick Google will tell you - the "killer fat", the "Franken-fat that will not die", "more deadly than saturated fats", "furring up our bodies like old kettles". Look a bit further and you can find trans fats "linked" - that dangerous health campaigner's verb - to disorders from Alzheimer's to autism. "Over the years there has been some very good research on TFAs," says Tom Sanders, professor of nutrition and dietetics at King's College, London. "And there has been some ridiculous crap written about them."
But it seems generally agreed that trans fats, like saturated fats, can raise cholesterol levels, put "plaque" on our artery walls and thus in some cases bring about heart attacks. Our bodies find the hydrogen-altered oils hard to break down - in a standard campaigner's formulation: "Would you melt Tupperware and put it on your toast?" Or as the Food Standards Agency puts it, in less loaded language: "The trans fats found in food containing hydrogenated vegetable oil are harmful and have no known nutritional benefits. They raise the type of cholesterol in the blood that increases the risk of coronary heart disease. Some evidence suggests that the effects of these trans fats may be worse than saturated fats."
Alex Richardson is senior research fellow at Oxford University's department of physiology, and director of the campaigning charity Food and Behaviour Research. She believes that Britain should follow Denmark, which has had legislation since 2003 limiting the amount of trans fats in food. "There's nothing to say in trans fats' defence," she says. "They appear to be more dangerous than saturated fats, they have no nutritional value, they are an artificial, toxic fat that we don't need. I don't see just why we can't have them out of the food supply. We have a major public-health problem here with diabetes and heart disease, and losing one contributory fat is a step towards the solution."
The novelty of trans fats in Britain, as opposed to the US, is that they are virtually invisible, lurking on most food labels only in the gap between the number given for "total fats" and the sum of poly-unsaturated, mono-unsaturated and saturated fats listed. If they are listed. Thus, unless you shop with a calculator and a magnifying glass, you are consuming unknowable quantities of trans fats in "healthy" butter substitutes, pastries, cakes, breakfast cereals, snack bars, pizzas, doughnuts, processed cream and ice cream, prepared food designed for vegetarians and, most significantly, deep-fried food.
There is more. Trans fat-laden pastries are abnormally stable - there is a campaigning nutritionist in Chicago who goes on television with a 22-year-old cupcake that still looks as fresh as the day it was baked. And - get this - the invention of the hydrogenation of oil was the trigger for the mechanised slaughter of whales during the 20th century. Whale oil, stabilised by the hydrogenation process, became the most valuable part of the animal. It provided up to 40% of margarines such as Stork and Echo whose taste spoiled so many childhood sandwiches in the 50s and 60s. And so campaigners such as Oliver Tickell, who runs the British anti-trans fat campaign, TFX, now maintain that butter may be healthier for you than trans-fatty margarine.
The food scare of the summer has also been a food campaigner's triumph. In this country, before June, many people probably hadn't heard of trans fats. But then came a rush of scary research - that adverse publicity the Cookeen lady talked of. First, via New Scientist magazine, which reported how 51 vervet monkeys fed trans fats in an experiment in North Carolina appeared to grow dangerously barrel-shaped (it is better to put fat on your bottom, the pear-shape, than around your tummy, where your heart and lungs may suffer). The monkeys, who had been on a high trans-fat diet for seven years, had fared worse than a control group fed merely on saturated fats - the traditional "bad fats". They were also showing early signs of diabetes.
At the end of July, the British Medical Journal published a review of a vast amount of disparate research, which concluded that a 2% rise in our energy intake from trans-fatty acids (say 5g of trans fats a day) "was associated with a 23% increase in the incidence of coronary heart disease". Trans fats had "no nutritional value" and adverse effects showed that even when intake was very low, at about 2-7g a day (100g of Cookeen has 2g of trans fats in it, according to the product's label, while a KFC Colonel's Regular Crispy Strips and Fries can - acccording to a New England Journal of Medicine article earlier this year - contain 4.4g a portion, derived chiefly from its frying oil. Butter contains anything from zero to 3g, but trans fats derived naturally from animals are not believed to be harmful).
In its editorial, the BMJ called on the government to legislate to reduce trans fats to less than 2% of food content (as in Denmark) and force manufacturers to quantify trans fats on labels (as has been done in the US since the beginning of this year). And at least two studies have shown that hydrogenation destroys the healthy Omega 3 oils, and that eating trans fats may block their uptake.
By the end of August, four big British supermarkets (Marks & Spencer, Tesco, Sainsbury's and the Co-op) had all issued deadlines by which they said trans-fatty acids would be gone from their own-label products. Kellogg's, United Biscuits, Nestlé and Cadbury Schweppes issued pledges to reduce or remove TFAs from theirs. The food industry was waving a big white flag: the trans-fat war seemed to have been won before it had really got going. Surprising: Big Food is normally more tenacious. But there is, of course, more to the story.
For a start, trans fats were fast becoming history anyway. This is chiefly because of the rather more advanced anti-TFs campaign in the US, which has been boosted by an unequivocal view from the medical establishment: banning trans fats could save 30,000 American lives per year, the Harvard School of Public Health announced as long ago as 1994. The US campaigners have had some stunning results: McDonald's settled a class-action suit last year with a donation of $7m (£3.7m), admitting it had failed to follow through on a 2002 promise to reduce trans fats in its cooking oil. In 2003 Kraft was successfully sued over trans fats in Oreo biscuits; KFC is now facing a similar lawsuit over its cooking oil. Since January 2006, food labels in the US have had to state trans fat quantities. And Chicago, which in August became the first US city to ban foie gras, may soon be the first to ban trans fats in restaurant cooking oil.
The growing row over trans fats led the US food industry to start researching substitutes: the availability of the new oils may explain why the British food giants are apparently acceding to the campaigners' wishes so swiftly and gracefully. A new refining process called interesterification has meant that the trans-fatty acid- bearing oils can be replaced without extra cost, while retaining what the industry calls "pleasing mouth-feel". If you really want to check this out, take a swig of Unilever's unaccountably popular Elmlea cream substitute - which stays "fresh" for eight weeks with its top off and contains an amazing 26% hydrogenated vegetable oil.
So for the British supermarkets and food processors, the expectation is that it may cost very little to get rid of trans fats and mollify the increasingly suspicious shopper. But there has been little movement from the fried-food industry, which seems wedded to its cheap deep-frying oils, whose hydrogenation means you can use them for longer without changing them (up to three months in some chippies). McDonald's uses EU-subsidised rapeseed oil for frying in Britain and it contains 16% trans fats. The company told me it is "currently evaluating even lower trans content frying media".
Oliver Tickell, of TFX, is calling for legislation to force the food-service sector to be open about trans fats. "Fast food, pub food, restaurant food, high-street bakeries and fish-and-chip shops don't have to label the presence of hydrogenated oil on their products. They haven't come under significant consumer pressure to get the hydrogenated oil out for the simple reason that people do not know it is there."
In the supermarkets, though, we will soon catch up with the US, where snack bars and pastries increasingly carry "Now with no trans fat!" banners. This has led, say some, to higher sales. "People think they mean 'no fats'," says a lobbyist from the Washington-based Centre for Science in the Public Interest, "But a 'No trans fats' sticker sits on a Nestlé Crunch ice cream bar that still contains 11g of saturated fat."
"That's the problem with labelling," says Sanders. "It's the concerned middle class that read them - not the low socio-economic groups. It's rather like putting warnings on cigarette packets. Availability is the key."
Since the late 70s, Sanders has seen partially hydrogenated vegetable oil researched and re-researched, declared safe, unsafe and very unsafe. So what does he think now? Are TFAs more dangerous than saturated fats? He is more equivocal than Richardson, but still concludes that trans fats are best avoided. "I wouldn't call either of them dangerous," he says. "That implies an acute and substantial risk to health. Cigarettes and alcohol are dangerous. I would say that trans fats may entail an increased risk: they are avoidable, so why eat them?
"Trans-fatty acids do not raise cholesterol as much as saturated fatty acids do. I think saturated fat probably causes a greater proportion of the overall risk. We've watched huge economic change in countries like Poland, seen their whole oil and fat supply change (away from animal fats), and we've seen heart disease drop."
During the post-communist 90s, the move away from a controlled economy brought a decline in subsidised dairy and animal fat production. So the Poles started eating more vegetable oils, mainly from rape seed and soy. Consumption of saturated fats dropped by 7% between 1990 and 1999, according to a paper produced by the Warsaw Cancer Centre and the Harvard School of Public Health. And their intake of polyunsaturated "good" fat rose 57% (trans fats weren't measured) - by the end of the decade, they were eating nearly four times as much fruit. By 2002, heart disease in Polish women aged 45-64 had fallen by 42%, compared with 1990, in men by 38%.
Sanders argues that much is hard to prove in this area of food and health - the obesity "epidemic", for example, does not appear to be accompanied by a rise in heart disease. It's a classic case of what he calls residual confounding, where the relationship between the chemistry and the problem may not be causal but it may be associative.
Most important of all, it's the poor who eat high levels of trans fats (the average British intake is just 1.2g a day, well within the strictest guidelines). "And people who eat a lot of deep-fried food and cheap pastries - well, their lifestyle is likely to be pretty bad as well. Cardio-vascular disease is always likely to be related to socio-economic station," Sanders says.
Richardson and Sanders agree that labelling on food products isn't working. "Trying to educate the people who eat the most fats is very difficult," Richardson says, "and all this bleating about voluntary self-regulation, letting the industry police itself just won't wash. Get real. The industry looks after its profits - the real costs of these foods are paid by the people who eat them and by the taxpayers who fund the health service. We need education, we need transparency from the food industry, and we need legislation."
Back on Easter Road in Edinburgh, I go in to Giovanni's fish and chip bar, where Jean Watson sells me a spam fritter for 90p. What was it cooked in, I ask? "Danish oil." What's that? She goes to look at the box. "Well, it's 20% vegetable oil, it says, and the rest is just ordinary oil, like." Jean has never heard of trans fats but she has had some bread rolls from the new bakery up the road. "They were lovely!"
Claire Coussmaker is a partner in the Manna House bakery and is its pastry chef. When she blind-tasted Drew's scones she had no trouble distinguishing the Cookeen one from the one made with butter. "This is a scone. This is cardboard." She held the Cookeen scone up as you might a dead mouse.
"It's like so many things you get in shops - they look great but they are just disappointing. I think that's the problem - that's why people eat so much. If the taste is not there, you just keep on eating. If it's made properly, with pure ingredients, it's satisfying from the inside out. You don't need any more."

I was faced with a field in the database that had a comma separated list of INT’s with a space after the comma. The application searched this field to generate the recordset to display on a web page.
First I tried using LIKE, with something along this line: ($state_id is being passed by PHP)
SELECT * WHERE `assoc_states` LIKE '%$state_id%';
Well, as you can guess if I was searching for an INT less than two numbers I would get anything that had that digit in it. (Ex. – Searching for ‘%4%’ would also give me entries of 4, 14, 24, 34, 42, 44, etc.)
I may have been able to use RLIKE, but I didn’t fully understand it and there were no good examples of doing what I needed.
That was when I stumbled across FIND_IN_SET. Here is what MySQL.com has to say about it:
Returns a value in the range of 1 to N if the string str is in the string list strlist consisting of N substrings. A string list is a string composed of substrings separated by “,” characters. If the first argument is a constant string and the second is a column of type SET, the FIND_IN_SET() function is optimized to use bit arithmetic. Returns 0 if str is not in strlist or if strlist is the empty string. Returns NULL if either argument is NULL. This function does not work properly if the first argument contains a comma (“,”) character.
SELECT FIND_IN_SET('b','a,b,c,d'); // output -> 2
Here is what I ended up with: ($state_id is being passed by PHP)
SELECT * WHERE FIND_IN_SET('$state_id', `assoc_state`) > 0;

Remember Cambodia? That’s what Anonymous wants you to do right now, as it ramps up efforts under the flag of #OpCambodiaFreedom. I spoke via private webdocs to the Twitter account leading awareness of the operation to get a sense of what’s going on in this time of crisis in Cambodia.
— AnonymousCambodia (@AnonymousKH) January 3, 2014
“The unrest [is] caused by the government and the way it manage[s] the country,” AnonymousCambodia told me. “They rule like the old day when they are head of the Communist-Cambodian state. The people rise up now because they have seen enough and the impact of government ruling is too much to stay silent.”
Officially a constitutional monarchy, Cambodia is in actuality ruled by Prime Minister Hun Sen, leader of a successful 1997 coup, who has sworn to remain in power until he is 74, no matter what the election results say. He’s got a couple of decades to go. Despite a growing economy, an estimated one third of Cambodian children suffer from malnutrition, and only 25 percent of the population has electricity.
Hun’s troops have clashed with anti-government protesters since the lead-up to the 2013 elections, and recently the demonstrations and concordant government retaliations have escalated. Cambodia’s clothing industry—tied to Levis, H&M, and Gap, among others—is one of its most lucrative, in no small part because of low wages, and workers have taken to the streets in the tens of thousands to protest and demand a doubling of the minimum wage to $160 per month. The government had offered a small increase instead. In return, on Jan. 3 Hun’s army fired on the demonstrators using live ammunition, sending many to hospital and killing at least four protesters.
As a spokesman for Solidarity Center told the Phnom Penh Post: “In that economic zone, things have been getting out of hand. Whatever the case, this is complete disproportionate use of force, illegal and completely outrageous on behalf of the government.”
The recent events led Anonymous to speak out.
— AnonymousCambodia (@AnonymousKH) January 4, 2014
The next day #OpCambodiaFreedom peaked on Twitter. The tweets included retweets of journalists onsite, graphic images of the protesters and police, and links to growing media coverage. More and more groups and individuals rallied around the hashtag and began to echo Anonymous Cambodia‘s call for an investigation by the Hague. A new Change.org petition sprang up asking for U.N. intervention and now boasts almost 20,000 signatures.

— Julia Wallace (@julia_wallace) January 4, 2014
In response to the demonstrations, the government banned public assembly and hauled in opposition leaders for questioning, as well as imprisoning many of the protesters. Authorities locked down the area in which the clashes had occurred and forcibly evicted the remaining protesters and residents. Government reaction continues to draw the attention of international journalists.
I just tried to chat up a daughter of the Cambodian power cabal. If I “disappear” it would have been worth it – wow
— Nathan Thompson (@NathanWrites) January 8, 2014
The Anonymous operation had actually been active, if isolated, for months. It took headlines on the BBC to draw world attention to its actions.
Back in October participants had re-uploaded the operation announcement video to Vimeo.
The transcript reads, in part:
Government of the once great Kingdom of Cambodia, you have decided to disregard our requests to assist the people of this country, and have persisted in running a one-way system … to benefit yourselves.
You have created a system which ensures the poor remain poor, and the wealthy remain wealthy. The system has failed us.
To the Kingdom of Cambodia government, you have made an enemy of Anonymous, you have angered us considerably and we now pose a significant threat to you. Your worst enemy is now your own people.
That video’s views peaked on Jan. 3, as news of the bloody clashes spread across Europe and Asia. On Jan. 5, the video and transcript were uploaded to the influential international Anonymous site Cyberguerrilla, driving more awareness across Anonymous circles. An American-accented version of the Brit-inflected video was created and uploaded Jan. 1, and it already boasts more views than the original.
A flamboyant hack of a government website and unforgettable defacement quickly followed.
— AnonymouSkY (@AnonStarseed) January 3, 2014
The satirical image was tailor-made for social media, and it had a significant role in the rise of the #OpCambodiaFreedom hashtag.
Anonymous Cambodia also boasted that it had temporarily sidelined the website of the government-controlled national television company and published a list of websites to be targeted. At the time of publishing all the sites listed are offline except one, which has been emptied of everything but the words “go away.” Several other government sites were also defaced, while a government railway site currently features an oversized iframe embedding the contents of the Anonymous Cambodia Tumblr (though there is a flaw in the code preventing the images from displaying).
Anonymous continues to urge supporters to tweet and fax buyers for major garment retailers and designers, hoping to convince them to pressure the government to comply with worker demands.
“We need the world to bring dictator Hun Sen to ICC Court. This is the only wish that Cambodian people want to accomplish now,” Anonymous Cambodia told me. “And ultimately the Cambodian people deserve freedom.”

A swamp cooler, also known as an evaporative cooler, is a device that uses evaporated water to cool air. The way it works is by drawing in hot, dry air and passing it over a wet pad. The water in the pad evaporates and the air is cooled.
- Check that the swamp cooler is properly plugged into an outlet
- Locate the switch on the swamp cooler and flip it to the “on” position
- Check that the water level in the swamp cooler is full
- Adjust the dial on the swamp cooler to the desired setting

Steps to Starting Up a Swamp Cooler
How to use a swamp cooler
If you live in a hot, dry climate, you may be considering a swamp cooler to help keep your home cool and comfortable during the summer months. Swamp coolers, also called evaporative coolers, use evaporation to cool air as it passes through moistened pads. This type of cooling is most effective in dry climates with low humidity levels.
Here are some tips on how to use a swamp cooler: 1. Choose the right size cooler for your home. Swamp coolers are available in a variety of sizes, so it’s important to choose one that is appropriately sized for the space you want to cool.
2. Install your swamp cooler in a location that will allow air to circulate freely. The cooler should be placed near an open window or door to allow for cross-ventilation. 3. Fill the cooler with clean, fresh water.
The water should be changed frequently to prevent the growth of bacteria. 4. Add ice to the water to help the cooler work more efficiently. 5. Set the cooler’s thermostat to the desired temperature.
6. Enjoy the cool, comfortable air!
How to turn on swamp cooler after winter
Assuming you have a standard window swamp cooler, the process is generally as follows: 1. Check the inside of the cooler for any debris or foreign objects. If present, remove these before continuing.
2. Check the cooler pads and make sure they are free of mold or mildew. If present, clean the pads with a mixture of bleach and water. 3. Fill the cooler with clean water.

Swamp coolers, also known as evaporative coolers, are a great way to keep your home cool and comfortable during the hot summer months. By using the evaporation of water to cool the air, swamp coolers are an extremely efficient and cost-effective way to beat the heat.
There are a few things you can do to optimize your swamp cooler and get the most out of it.
First, make sure that the unit is properly sized for the space you want to cool. If the unit is too small, it won’t be able to effectively cool the space. Conversely, if the unit is too large, it will cool the space too quickly and won’t be as efficient.
Next, be sure to keep the unit clean. The evaporative pads need to be replaced regularly, and the unit itself should be cleaned out monthly. A dirty swamp cooler will not work as well as a clean one.
Finally, position the unit in the best spot possible. Swamp coolers work best when they’re placed in a window, as this allows the cool air to circulate throughout the room. If you don’t have a window that’s suitable, you can also place the unit in a doorway.
Just be sure that there’s plenty of airflow around the unit so that it can do its job.
How does a swamp cooler work
When the weather is hot and dry, a swamp cooler can be a lifesaver. Swamp coolers work by using the evaporation of water to cool the air. A fan pulls air through a wet pad, and as the air passes through the pad, water evaporates from the pad, cooling the air.
The cooled air is then blown into the room. Swamp coolers are most effective in hot, dry climates. They are not as effective in humid climates because the air is already saturated with water and the evaporation of water from the swamp cooler pad will not have as much of an effect.
To get the most out of your swamp cooler, make sure the pad is wet and the fan is set to the highest setting. You may also want to open windows to help circulate the air.
How do I start my swamp cooler?
Assuming you have a properly installed swamp cooler:
1. Set your thermostat to the highest temperature setting.
2. Fill the cooler with clean water.
Make sure the fill line isn’t exceeded. 3. Plug in the swamp cooler and turn it on. 4. Check the cooler pads to see if they need to be soaked.
If they’re dry, soak them in water for 30 minutes. 5. Open all the windows in the room and close the doors. 6. Let the swamp cooler run until the room reaches the desired temperature.
How do I turn my swamp cooler water on?
Assuming you have a standard evaporative cooler, there are only a few steps to get it up and running for the season.
1. Check the water level in the reservoir. The water should come up to just below the fill line.
If it’s low, add more water until it reaches the proper level. 2. Inspect the pads. The pads are what the water flows over to be evaporated, and they can become clogged with minerals or debris over time.
If they look dirty, clean them with a hose or replace them entirely. 3. Check the belt. The belt drives the fan that blows air through the pads, and if it’s loose or broken, the fan won’t spin and the cooler won’t work.
Tighten the belt or replace it if necessary. 4. Make sure the intake and exhaust vents are clear. The cooler won’t work properly if the air can’t flow freely through it.
5. Plug in the cooler and turn it on. Most evaporative coolers have a simple on/off switch, though some may have a dial to control the speed of the fan. Once the cooler is on, water will start flowing through the pads and the fan will start blowing air.
If everything is working properly, you should feel a noticeable difference in the temperature of the room within a few minutes.
How long does it take to turn on a swamp cooler?
Swamp coolers, also known as evaporative coolers, are a type of air conditioning system that uses the evaporation of water to cool the air. They are typically used in arid climates, as they are not as effective in humid climates.
The basic components of a swamp cooler are a water reservoir, a fan, and a wet pad or wick. The water reservoir is filled with water, and the fan blows air through the wet pad or wick. The evaporation of the water cools the air, and the cooled air is then blown into the room.
Swamp coolers are usually turned on by filling the water reservoir and turning on the fan. The amount of time it takes to cool a room with a swamp cooler will depend on the size of the room, the humidity of the air, and the temperature outside. In general, it will take longer to cool a room with a swamp cooler than it would with an air conditioner.
What are the controls for a swamp cooler?
A swamp cooler, also called an evaporative cooler, is a device that uses the evaporation of water to cool the air. The cooler consists of a water tank, a fan, and a series of pads that are soaked in water. The fan pulls air through the pads, and as the air passes through the pads, the water evaporates, cooling the air.
The controls for a swamp cooler are fairly simple. There is a switch to turn the unit on and off, and a knob to control the speed of the fan. There may also be a dial to control the amount of water that is pumped into the pads.
Assuming you would like a summary of the blog post entitled “How to Turn on a Swamp Cooler”:
The blog post explains the steps necessary to properly turn on a swamp cooler. The author begins by noting that it is important to ensure that the cooler is properly installed before attempting to turn it on.
Next, the individual should check to make sure that the cooler is properly filled with water. Once these two steps have been completed, the blog post explains, the individual can then proceed to turn on the cooler by following the manufacturer’s instructions.

A message from Melba Evans, President, NOW Charlotte
Tuesday November 6, 2018 was a historic day! More women ran for office in 2018 than ever before and more women won! Voters were determined more than ever to elect feminists to positions of leadership. We have ushered in the most diverse Congress in history with huge wins for women, minorities and LGBTQ. Thank you to all who canvassed, made phone calls, wrote letters, protested, marched, walked out, showed up, voted and got up every day exhausted, but found the strength to go on.
Here is what happened:

- Kim Davis (yes, THAT Kim Davis) was defeated in reelection bid by the man she refused a marriage license to
We have a lot to celebrate!
After the first Women’s March, many mocked us. They laughed at our protests and said we would never make a difference at the polls. One politician called us “silly girls”. On Tuesday, we proved them wrong! It is astounding to think about how far women have come since the first women’s marches across the country the day after President Trump was inaugurated. Many of these 2018 candidates were considered long shots, but they organized and they won! We all resisted, we persisted and we won!
And persist we will, because the struggle is far from over. We must work even harder going forward. 2020 is just around the corner. Celebrate our successes, get some rest and get back in the fight. The National Organization for Women needs you. Together we can move full steam ahead and change the world.
Melba Evans, President
National Organization for Women, Charlotte

Seeing assets clearly: Data visualization helps master planning
February 15, 2022
February 15, 2022
Technology can revolutionize management of complex real estate portfolios
This article first appeared as “Getting a clear view of the big picture” in Stantec Design Quarterly, Issue 14.
Coming out of the pandemic, many large institutions are taking a new look at their assets. New technology and safety measures as well as trends in remote work, distance education, and telehealth are likely changing the volume and quality of space they require. They’re thinking, “We have all this space. What are we doing with it now? What’s our plan going forward?” They’re reassessing their master plans.
They need to choose a path for the next 10 or 20 years, a new master plan. They will need to make decisions about projects such as rehabbing the floor of an existing building, relocating a department, building a new facility, acquiring more land, and so on.
First, these institutions need an accurate picture of what they have and how they’re using it. However, few have such a complete picture. They may have data but it’s not organized in a way they can easily understand. Worse, it’s often siloed in different departments that don’t speak the same language or share similar metrics.
The real estate group can share what they were leasing, the billing department has revenue information, the facilities managers may have plans for buildings under construction and so on. The information varies in detail. For example, an institution may have more detailed info about the space it leases (which must be justified in annual budgets) than the property it owns. Decision makers don’t have a full picture.
Clients at large institutions need the ability to see relevant data quickly to allow for effective decision making on their long-term (10 to 20 years) capital plans. Their planning departments are not equipped to effectively gather and synthesize this data for their leadership.
As designers and master planners, we encounter this dilemma when we are hired to devise a master plan. The information we need often hasn’t been gathered or organized to be useful. Therefore, we’re developing our own digital services around data visualization for institutional planning, for use in master plans, capital forecasting, and much more.
As designers, we evaluate data to understand it, then synthesize it so we can come up with solutions and illustrate or diagram those solutions. The tools for processing and illustrating the data are rapidly advancing in sophistication and power. Where once we might have drawn architectural diagrams by hand from an Excel document, we are now using applications like Power BI and dynamic programs that can read our data and auto generate shapes from scripts we control.
Today, it’s possible to organize the data in such a way that makes the tasks of evaluating, synthesizing, and illustrating the data more powerful, accurate, and useful than what we’ve done in the past.
There's an increasing appreciation of the value of data among our clients. But data needs to be shaped, analyzed, and represented to tell a story that’s meaningful.
Clients at large institutions need the ability to see relevant data quickly to allow for effective decision making on their long-term capital plans.
The tools are changing but data visualization for planning is a process, an approach—not an app. We use a series of data and visualization tools. Our approach is to organize, evaluate, and illustrate the data. While we’ve automated aspects of the visualization, designers are still at the center of it. We start with the data available to us, take it as far as we can, perhaps asking for more along the way or showing the client where the gaps are.
In this way, we find better data to tell a richer story.
We also must tune the visual storytelling to the audience whether it be healthcare decision makers, higher education campus planners, owners, developers, or an architecture and landscape design team. We often want to show the data using the client’s hierarchy and organizational language so that the design team can communicate with the client. In addition, we can imbue categories of data—say for areas of inpatient, outpatient, diagnosis, treatment, and support in a healthcare campus—as another dimension in our data model.
As designers/planners we further enrich the data with our own dimensions, which is valuable to us in our design process but ultimately to the client, too. It’s all about making the conversation with the client easier.
A recent case study revealed that this approach has value. We can take a complex data set and represent it visually to facilitate the conversation about planning. In this case, we started with spreadsheets, PDFs, and plans. We started to develop a data model, which we then shared with our client (an institution with numerous owned and leased real estate assets and current building projects). Our client helped us identify the gaps. Finding and choosing which data to use is a key aspect of this work. As we created new versions of the data model, we acquired better data (finishing with three times the volume from where we began) and built a clear picture.
Then we told the story in different ways, most notably as buildings with colored three-dimensional portions representing usage. We used Dynamo, a scripting product to generate the architectural diagrams from the data model. But the diagrams aren’t meant to be literal. They are useful because they represent large, diverse portfolios of buildings and space. We added a level of abstraction and aggregation of the data to make the visual easy to understand and to move forward the planning conversation.
Today, Stantec’s data visualization teams are using this method to help clients organize, evaluate, and illustrate data and create long-term plans for their healthcare and higher-ed facilities.
Planners for large and complex portfolios of space in education, healthcare, government, industrial, and other markets need to understand their spaces. Data has value, we know this based on the market capitalizations of companies that amass vast quantities of data. Soon, the design industry’s offerings will not be counted from the hours we put into executing a project but in the data we generate and make useful for our clients.

When it comes to active ingredients that really improve your skin, there are few more effective than retinol and vitamin C. Unfortunately, these power players don’t tend to play that nicely together.
Retinol, a vitamin A derivative, turbo charges skin-cell turnover to minimize the appearance of fine lines, pores, pigmentation, and more. It works hard and fast to reduce breakouts and knock years off your complexion. Vitamin C, on the other hand, is a potent antioxidant that protects and repairs skin cells whilst simultaneously tackling fine lines, brightening dark spots, and leaving skin glowing.
Both sound good, right? Trouble is you that you can, in fact, have too much of a good thing, as overdoing it on retinol and vitamin C can lead to redness and sensitivity.
Luckily, you don’t have to choose one over the other. You do, however, need to be strategic with your application. We called on skin-care experts to reveal exactly what each ingredient does, and how to incorporate both vitamin C and retinol into your routine for the best skin-smoothing, clearing, and brightening results without irritation.
What Are the Benefits of Retinol?
“Retinol is a form of vitamin A. Other forms you may see are retinoic acid and retinaldehyde, which are both super strong, or retinyl palmitate and retinol esters, which are weaker,” said skin-care biochemist Nausheen Qureshi.
“I personally call it ‘CPR for the skin.’ Retinol resuscitates and regenerates skin cells, keeping them active and preventing premature cell death. It not only refreshes the skin’s appearance, but it also works on signs of aging and unwanted texture.”
Retinol should be used only at night, and you absolutely need to apply sunscreen the next morning.
“Skin naturally regenerates at night and retinol supports this natural process by promoting cell turnover,” Qureshi explained, “while the fresh skin cells are more susceptible to sun damage so need protection during the day.”
Not sure which retinol to buy? While retinol has typically been an ingredient prescribed by dermatologists, nowadays you can get good quality, effective retinol products over the counter.

What Are the Benefits of Vitamin C?
“Vitamin C is a potent, powerhouse ingredient that brightens skin and boosts collagen production. It also contains a property that helps to lighten dark spots and hyperpigmentation,” said Dr. Toni Phillips, group clinical director at DestinationSkin. “A quality antioxidant (vitamin C is usually found in combination with other antioxidants) protects skin cells from free radicals. Free radicals are tiny molecules that can attack the cells and reduce their ability to function optimally,” which results in your skin look to lose its natural radiance and look dull and tired.
“It is a very unstable ingredient and oxidizes very quickly, so it is usually best not to go for a product with straight vitamin C in it as this won’t survive long,” added Qureshi. “It’s more potent in its ester forms and in its encapsulated forms.”
While retinol has a reputation for being potentially irritating to skin, vitamin C can cause a reaction, too. Alexander Johnston, general manager of John Bell & Croyden, London’s Luxury Pharmacy, explained that “vitamin C is a potent, active skin-care ingredient, so it can cause a reaction on sensitive or redness-prone skin, especially in higher concentrations. However, if it is introduced slowly into your routine, your skin will adapt over time. As with all active products, patch testing is always recommended.”
Is There a Benefit to Using Both Retinol and Vitamin C?
“Vitamins A and C work incredibly well together,” explained Qureshi. “Whilst vitamin A regenerates and keeps the cells alive, vitamin C protects them from free radical damage and brightens the surface of the skin. So not only do you get a better texture and more voluminous facial tissue, but you also get bright and radiant-looking skin. They are a great tag team.” As long as you don’t layer them, that is.

Do Retinol and Vitamin C Interact Well If Applied Together?
“No, not usually, because retinol is oil-soluble and vitamin C is water soluble,” said Qureshi. “They are also both acids, so it can be quite dangerous to apply together. Dr. Phillips agreed, adding that “there is no real benefit in using too many products at the same time, so the idea is to have a simple program using the correct products in a way that the skin is supported, corrected, and protected.” All this is to say please don’t layer retinol and vitamin C, as the side effects could be bad, and probably quite painful.
What Is the Best Way to Use Both Retinol and Vitamin C?
“I usually recommend people of all ages to use an antioxidant (vitamin C) every morning after cleansing,” said Dr. Phillips. “You may find products with varied percentages of vitamin C, but dry skin types should use the lower percentages, and the oiler skin types will respond to products with a higher vitamin C percentage.”
For those under the age of 30, an antioxidant product can be used twice a day — in the morning as well as in the evening after cleansing. For the over 30s (and under 30s if you have extremely oily skin and struggle with spots or uncontrollable breakouts), an evening retinol is recommended instead of vitamin C, according to Dr. Phillips. “Natural collagen production begins to slow in our mid-20s and the signs of this start to show in the late 20s [to] early 30s. This is exactly when a retinol product should be added, in the evening after cleansing,” she said.
“Retinol is a powerful active product so it needs to be introduced gently,” Dr. Phillips continued. “I usually recommend starting to use it two to three times a week, increasing to every second evening and after six to eight weeks trying to use it every night. Some people will experience reactions such as dryness, redness, and peeling. These are all completely normal for the first two to three months when starting retinol. However, as most of us don’t like these reactions, the gradual protocol should help to minimize this until we are comfortable and start to see the skin improve as a result.”

In the week ending 21 July 2021, over 650,000 self-isolation alerts were sent in England and Wales by the NHS Covid-19 app, Test and Trace (via BBC News).
Referred to as the ‘pingdemic’, the spike in self-isolation alerts comes after the vast majority of restrictions were lifted in England on ‘Freedom Day’ (19 July 2021).
The NHS Covid-19 app sends anonymous alerts if you have been in ‘close contact’ with someone who has tested positive for coronavirus. A close contact is officially defined by GOV.UK as, “a person who has been close to someone who has tested positive for COVID-19.”
Here’s everything you need to know if you’ve been pinged by the NHS Covid-19 app:
Sadiq Khan talks to GLAMOUR about mistrust in the Covid vaccine, how to stay safe now that restrictions have eased, and his hopes for preventing a rise in violent crime post-Freedom Day
Which workers won’t need to self-isolate?
According to GOV.UK, there are a “small number of situations where the self-isolation of close contacts would result in serious disruption to critical services.” In these situations, a “limited number of named workers may be able to leave self-isolation under specific controls for the purpose of undertaking critical work only.”
Employers providing critical services can request an exemption for fully-vaccinated named employees. According to BBC News, this applies to the following areas:
- Civil nuclear
- Digital infrastructure
- Food production and supply
- Veterinary medicines
- Essential chemicals
- Essential transport
- Medicines and medical devices
- Clinical consumable supplies
- Emergency services
- Border control
- Essential defence outputs
- Local government
There are separate rules for fully-vaccinated frontline health and care staff who’ve been identified as a close contact of someone with coronavirus, which allow them to attend work, subject to testing procedures.
In some cases, supermarket depot workers and food manufacturers in England will also be exempt from quarantine restrictions. The government is currently trialling a scheme whereby workers in food manufacturing businesses can get tested daily.
Note: this does not apply if you have tested positive or are displaying symptoms of coronavirus. If this is the case, you still need to self-isolate.
It is expected that all fully-vaccinated people who’ve been in close contact with someone whose tested positive for coronavirus will be exempt from self-isolating rules from 16 August 2021.
Here’s Boris Johnson’s update to the roadmap out of lockdown, and what you can do from 19th July (AKA Freedom Day)
What happens if I am ‘pinged’ by the NHS Covid-19 app?
If you’re pinged by the NHS Covid-19 app you are advised – although not legally obliged – to self-isolate. Downing Street has said it’s “crucial” to self-isolate if you’ve been pinged.
However, if you’ve been directly contacted by NHS Test and Trace, you must self-isolate.
If you work in a critical industry, your employer can request an exemption, providing you have been fully-vaccinated for at least two weeks.
Will I still be paid if I have to self-isolate?
A £500 grant is available in England to people on low incomes who have to self-isolate. You may also be eligible for Statutory Sick Pay, which worth at least £96.35 a week.
Do I still need to isolate if I’m fully vaccinated?
For now, yes. However, it’s expected that from 16 August 2021 you’ll be exempt from self-isolation rules if you’ve been fully vaccinated for at least two weeks.
What does self-isolating mean?
According to the NHS, you must self-isolate if:
- You have any symptoms of COVID-19 (a high temperature, a new, continuous cough or a loss or change to your sense of smell or taste)
- You’ve tested positive for COVID-19 – this means you have the virus
- Someone you live with has symptoms or tested positive
- you’ve been told you’ve been in contact with someone who tested positive – find out what to do if you’re told to self-isolate by NHS Test and Trace or the NHS COVID-19 app
- You have arrived in England from abroad from a ‘red list’ country, or from an ‘amber list’ country and not been fully vaccinated – see GOV.UK: how to quarantine when you arrive in England
The NHS adds that if you’re self-isolating you must follow these rules:
- Do not go to work, school or public places – work from home if you can
- Do not go on public transport or use taxis
- Do not go out to get food and medicine – order it online or by phone, or ask someone to bring it to your home
- Do not have visitors in your home, including friends and family – except for people providing essential care
- Do not go out to exercise – exercise at home or in your garden, if you have one.

Jurgen Raizner – A Spanning Boundaries Agent
“University-business cooperation (UBC) has never been more relevant than it is today, and it is in these difficult times that we witness how science and business work together to face societies’ challenges. At the frontier of these cooperation are the Spanning Boundaries agents, who break down internal and external organisational boundaries in their engagement for collaborative innovation”. University Industry Innovation Network, Amsterdam, issued Spanning Boundaries agents Profile Book: a collection of profiles showcasing the motivations, ideas and activities of those working at the interface of academia and industry. Jurgen Raizner’s profile as a successful Spanning Boundaries Champion has been featured in the book.
What is Boundary Spanning?
The “ability to understand and operate in the academic, public sector and business worlds, and even across the triple interface of the sectors” (Smart Specialisation Cohesion Policy 2014-2020).
According to Jurgen Raizner, barriers include bureaucracy that dictates the terms and conditions for interaction between universities and companies; a lack of understanding of what university-business collaboration entails; and a lack of understanding of the organisation’s own needs (be it business or university). Competencies to overcome those barriers are a key success factor of UBC.
About the Spanning Boundaries Project
“Whilst, universities and industry working in close cooperation are engines of innovation, it is PEOPLE who are the most crucial factor in transferring knowledge and innovation across institutions, mobilising resources, triggering organisational change, and making a difference in their regions. More than ever, there is a need to “span boundaries” between these institutions, which is why the Erasmus+ Knowledge Alliance project “Spanning Boundaries Development Programme” was created. We aim to empower and enable university and business professionals to make a stronger contribution to regional economic and social development by providing knowledge, support and a closer engagement with each other and their environment.” Project website

Europe faces many new threats to its security which NATO is ill-designed to manage. The opposite coast of the Mediterranean – Europe’s “soft underbelly” to paraphrase Winston Churchill – is undergoing destabilization. Libya is again on the verge of civil war, Tunisia’s nascent democracy looks to implode, Algeria and Morocco are at sword’s point, and dictatorship has put paid to Egypt’s experiment in democracy. Israel’s government collapsed again, and it is about to hold its fifth elections in three years. Syria’s brutal dictator, Bashar Assad, after being saved by Russia and Iran, looks set to complete the reconquest of his shattered country. This instability has launched millions of refugees towards Europe’s shores, endangering EU unity. The situation also threatens Europe’s plans to diversify away from Russian energy imports. Europe needs oil and gas imports from Algeria and Libya, as well as gas supplies from new fields in Cyprus, Israel, and Egypt to replace Russia’s.
Turkey, a NATO member, has leveraged that membership to pursue national objectives that damage NATO’s interests. Ankara has blocked Sweden and Finland’s membership applications, ostensibly to force those countries to turn over Kurdish refugees who fled genocide in Turkey. It also holds their NATO membership hostage to an ill-concealed demand that the United States restore Turkey to the F-35 stealth jet program from which the United States booted it after Turkey bought advanced Russian missile systems. Ankara refuses to apply U.S. and European sanctions against Russia. Turkey threatens war against Greece, another NATO member, in pursuit of irredentist claims to territories it ceded over a hundred years ago. Lacking a formal mechanism to deal with such threats, ΝΑΤΟ prefers to act as if they are of no concern to the Alliance.
NATO’s original structure, designed to confront the USSR in the Cold War, allows it to deal with Russia attacking Ukraine. However, that response was orchestrated by the United States, which effectively decides all things in NATO. Had Biden not acted as he did, Europe would likely have wrung its collective hands and issued ineffective declarations while Putin overran Ukraine.
Biden’s actions have undone much of the damage Trump inflicted on the Alliance. However, American constancy is not guaranteed. Biden’s predecessor befriended the dictators ruling Russia and Turkey and questioned America’s commitments to NATO. America’s dramatic polarization, led by a political movement that is trying to change the United States into a one-party theocracy, something like a cross between Iran and China, adds to the uncertainty. That movement opposes defending Ukraine. Moreover, and isolationism seems trendy once again across the political spectrum. To illustrate, the Koch Brothers and the George Soros Open Society, sitting at the opposite ends of the ideological spectrum, both fund the left-leaning avowedly isolationist Quincy Institute.
European leaders need to think ahead. Some talk about restructuring NATO to deal with European issues. The United States will not go along. For example, America will not allow European interests to influence American policy in the Middle East. Europe supports restoring the Iran nuclear agreement that Trump undid; the United States prefers to keep Saudi Arabia and Israel – who oppose the deal – happy. The United States torpedoed a French submarine deal with Australia in a high-handed sandbagging that would have made Machiavelli blush. The United States has often played European NATO members off against each other. Remember Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld and his denigration of “old Europe” vis-a-vis “new Europe” in the run-up to the invasion of Iraq? “Freedom fries” anyone? Even the most dedicated American Atlanticists prefer NATO the way it is, dependent on American leadership at all levels. U.S. politicians publicly demand Europe spend more on defense, but mostly to make domestic political points. If the Europeans ever agreed to a vigorous European defense posture, European leaders would demand a greater say in NATO decision-making and European defense industries would have the market size to better compete with American companies.
We always complain about France, the country that conceived European unity. France’s Charles de Gaulle once argued for a strong European defense independent of the Anglo-Saxons. The current French leader, Emmanuel Macron, argues for something much more compatible with U.S. interests: a European ‘strategic autonomy’ within NATO but with the will and capacity to deal with those crises outside NATO’s remit. Macron as a Europeanist wishes to defend the borders of Europe and to have Europe throw its weight around in the rest of the world. This supplements the United States; it does not replace it.
According to a recent meeting with French foreign affairs experts, Macron designed the first intra-European defense agreement, a 2020 treaty of alliance with Greece aimed specifically at countering the Turkish threat as a first step in building a European security structure through distinct agreements between EU states. The next candidate appears to be Italy, already deeply involved in joint weapons programs with France and suffering directly from instability across the Mediterranean. Cyprus, with Turkish troops occupying 37% of its territory and Spain trying to cope with problems in Morocco and Algeria would appear to be good future candidates as well.
Germany and other northern Europeans oppose the idea, preferring to prosper on the cheap under an American umbrella. The United States would prefer Macron’s ideas go to the same graveyard as did De Gaulle’s. This is a mistake. We need to concentrate on the Pacific and China. Macron believes Europe has the size, wealth, and potential strength to handle almost any threat in the region but needs the strategic autonomy to be able to do so on its own terms. It also has the diplomatic and economic tools that the United States lacks in Europe’s neighborhood. We deride Macron’s insistence that we need a long term policy to deal with Russia after Ukraine but forget Europe has to live with the aftermath. We should support Macron. We need him to succeed.

- JDK 1.6 or later download here. Note that you need the JDK and not just the JRE.
- To support the latest versions of Maven, first download Maven here. (Note: Maven 3.0 or later is required.)
- Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers 3.3.x or later download here. Install EGit and m2e plug-ins via "Help->Install New Software...".
Spring Tool Suite
STS is an eclipse distribution from the Spring foundation. If you just care about getting up and running, and don't care about bloat, download here: https://spring.io/tools/sts/all
On Windows and linux distros, all you should have to do after extracting the main STS folder, is to navigate into the folder, and double-clicking the file "STS" or "STS.exe"
It comes pre-packaged with a git plugin (so you can skip those instructions below) as well as its own versions of Ant and Maven. You should be able to follow the "EGit" section to clone/import ESAPI in STS as soon as you have it running. It still has a minimum dependency of java 1.6 jdk.
1. Right click on the "Package Explorer" pane, and select "import."
2. Filter on "git" and select "Projects from git."
3. Select "Clone URI"
4. Enter the URI: https://github.com/ESAPI/esapi-java-legacy.git (or, if you wish to contribute to ESAPI via "pull requests", the URI where you "forked" legacy ESAPI to, e.g. https://github.com/yourGitHubID/esapi-java-legacy)
5. Click "Next."
6. Click "Next" again.
7. Select where you want to store the cloned repo, it defaults to %USERPROFILE%\git\esapi-java-legacy on windows.
8. click "Next."
9. On the import wizard, cancel.
10. Right-click again on the package explorer, and click import, filter on "Maven" and click on "Existing Maven Projects."
11. Navigate to the folder you created in step 7. Select "esapi-java-legacy" and click next.
12. Click finish.
Congratulations! You are ready to develop!
- For Winodws, create an Eclipse shortcut
- Right-Click your Eclipse shortcut and select Properties
- At the end of the line that says Target, add -vm "x" where x is the location of a JDK (e.g., "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk7\bin") - This step is necessary for the Maven plugin to work. (If you installed Eclipse under Linux distro after you already had a JDK installed, this probably was already done for you.)
- Restart Eclipse using the edited shortcut.
Importing the ESAPI Source
If you choose to use the ESAPI GitHub code,Import Existing Eclipse projects." follow the instructions at ESAPI-Building. Unless you have been added to the ESAPI project as a contributor, please use the submit fixes using Git "pull requests".
If you are using EGit, as recommended, open Eclipse and:
- Click File -> New -> Other.....
- From the Git Folder select '"Checkout Projects from Git (this option will only be available if you have a Git plug-in installed) and hit Next >.
- Click the Create a new repository location radio button.
- If you are not listed as a project contributor, insert https://github.com/ESAPI/esapi-java-legacy.git as the URL. If you are listed as a project contributor, check the github page for the URL to use.
- Once the directory structure appears in the window, click the URL at the top to download everything. Then hit Next >
- Select your desired project options. For most people, the default options should be fine. When finished, click Next >.
- Select your desired workspace options, then click Finish. The latest ESAPI source files will then be downloaded to your workspace. This may take a few minutes.
- After the source code is finished downloading, ensure that the character type of all source code is UTF-8. In Eclipse, right click on the project directory root. At the bottom of the right-click list, choose PROPERTIES. From the PROPERTIES window, select the RESOURCES section (which is selected by default). Ensure that the "Text file encoding" section is set to OTHER->UTF 8. If if it is not, change it and click APPLY->OK.
Some configuration may be necessary for ESAPI to compile and build on your system.
ESAPI requires the Java JRE 6 or later.
- Once Java 6.0+ is installed, open the Navigator view in Eclipse. If this is currently hidden, from the toolbar click Window -> Show View -> Navigator.
- Right-click on your ESAPI project in the Navigator, mouse over Maven and click Enable Dependency Management
- Note: If Maven is not an option when you right-click on the project, be sure the Maven plugin for eclipse is installed, as described above.
- Note: If Enable Dependency Management is not an option, dependency management is probably already enabled, So this step can be skipped.
- Right-click on the ESAPI project root folder in the Navigator view and select Properties.
- From the left column, select Java Build Path. Under the Libraries tab, be sure a JRE or JDK is listed next to JRE System Library. If there is a red X on next to the JRE, remove the current JRE and click Add Library and select an alternate JRE. If you are having trouble figuring out what version the current JRE is, select Installed JREs and look at the location to which each version is mapped.
- The Libraries tab should list JRE System Library and Maven Dependencies. If anything else is listed, it is not necessary and should be removed. Maven now handles all dependencies.
- From the left column, select Java Compiler. Be sure Compiler compliance level, Generated .class files compatibility, and Source compatibility are all set to 1.6. (Note: Most of us use JDK 7 or JDK 8 to build ESAPI, but we use '-source 1.6 -target 1.6' when we compile to still support really old web applications still using JDK 1.6.)
- Close the properties window.
- Right-click the ESAPI project root folder and select Refresh.
- From the toolbar, select Project -> Clean.. and select the ESAPI project. Click OK.
- If errors remain, select Maven again, then Update Dependencies.
- ESAPI should now be compiled.
Building ESAPI should be easy with the new Maven integration.
Once your environment is set up, as specified above:
- Right-Click your ESAPI project root folder
- Select Run As...
- Select Run Configurations
- Double Click "Maven Build" from the options on the left to create a new configuration.
- Name your configuration at the top. This will be for building ESAPI without running JUnit tests.
- The "Base directory" should point to the root of your project
- The "Goals" field type "package"
- Any options not mentioned should be left as their default
- Click "Apply" to save your build configuration
- Click "Run" to run your configuration
NOTE: Jars created through building are located in the directory called "target".
Running Demo App
The ESAPI Demo application has been named The ESAPI Swingset. More information about Swingset is available here.

Amazon has released a new device for the home that could potentially help people with vision or motor disabilities. The Amazon Echo is a voice-activated speaker that listens for commands in the room it’s placed. The device is a cylindrical shaped object that can detect spoken words in the room and make a response, with Amazon featuring its ability to respond to questions, play music, or even order a pizza or Uber transport. The brains inside the cylinder is Alexa, an artificial intelligence with a similar quality to Apple’s Siri.
The device connects directly to the mains of the house and its Wi-Fi connection to allow Alexa to access the cloud and locate information. The Alexa app for smartphones is used to install what Amazon call ‘skills’ for Alexa, which are made by Amazon and third party developers to increase the functionality of the artificial intelligence. This includes music streaming apps like Spotify and Pandora, being able to announce the news and weather, create shopping lists, and also comical and gimmicky skills like having Alexa tell cat facts.
This device has the potential to be extremely useful for those with vision or physical disabilities, as it allows a user to very quickly receive information or activate commands that may take a long time or be inaccessible on a typical computer. The accessibility of the Alexa app is still unclear, but technology reporting website CNET has stated that the downloadable Alexa ‘skills’ require better organization due to the ever-growing amount available, which shows that the app may not be very usable.
There is also a concern for Australian users of the product as some of the functionality may not be as effective here as in the US, such as Australian news channels being unavailable, the inability to use time or geological -based skills and the requirement for a US iTunes account. There is currently no word from Amazon announcing when a localised version of the product will be available.
The Amazon Echo retails for $180 USD, but is not currently available to purchase in Australia, and does not have localised support. Amazon have also announced cheaper alternatives to Echo, Amazon Echo Tap and Amazon Echo Dot, which are $130 USD and $90 USD respectively but are less featured.

Hey folks! I'm working on a greening project in Montreal, Quebec; and I was wondering if it's possible to grow vines (virginia creepers & boston ivy), from the ROOF, DOWNWARDS. That is, they would be planted in a very large container on a rooftop and expected to grow down the wall, instead of planted at the base of a building and grow upwards. I need to know if they can be trained to grow downwards, attaching to the stone in the same way as when they work up a wall. The reason I need to know is because we're interested in greening the walls of some buildings but can't get excavation permits for the base of the edifices due to wires, gas lines, etc etc... Anyone have any experience with this? Any information you can offer will help a lot. There is nothing about this kind of thing being done that I can find on the web. Thanks!

When I discovered the poetry of Paul Celan as an undergraduate, I had little idea his words would later guide me through dark times. Inspired by campus lore about a professor of comparative literature who supposedly recited Rainer Maria Rilke’s “Duino Elegies” to herself in German while swimming laps, I committed Celan’s much shorter, but notoriously impenetrable, poem “Engführung” (“Stretto”) to memory.
A concentration camp survivor who lost his parents in the Holocaust, Celan (né Antschel) is considered to be the quintessential poet of the unspeakable. In his 1958 acceptance speech for the Bremen Literature Prize, Celan described this paradoxical quality of his poetry: “There remained in the midst of the losses this one thing: language. … It passed through and gave back no words for that which happened; yet it passed through this happening. Passed through and could come to light again.”
Celan’s verse came back to me in 2006 when my infant son underwent chemotherapy for histiocytosis, an exceedingly rare immune system disease. The olive-sized lump behind his ear was initially (but wrongly) diagnosed as a fatal brain tumor. For the first few agonizing weeks, I believed that life as I knew it was over, that I would never again know joy.
During times of calamity, our survival instinct forces an extreme narrowing of attention to the minute, concrete details of each successive moment. We become attuned to every signal of danger, alert to any possible avenue of escape; yet at the same time, we erect protective blinders against the nameless sense of doom that lies over the horizon. The experience is almost an altered state of consciousness.
My family arrived together with a cohort of others at the Boldrini Children’s Center in Campinas, Brazil. From varied economic and geographical backgrounds, we each carried a distinctive diagnosis and prognosis, 5-year survival rates, and a whole litany of unthinkable medical jargon—but we all shared the same shock, disbelief, desperation, and blind hope about our children’s treatment. We clung to one another like shipwreck survivors on a lone raft in a vast and menacing ocean.
One day I sat outside an ecumenical chapel, listening to some of my fellow parents in the final phases of desperation singing hymns, full-throated and out of key: “Ha-ha-hallelujah!” I couldn’t tell whether God was laughing at us or with us. Suddenly, I recalled a few lines from Celan:
I began jotting down disjointed thoughts and observations that came to me at the hospital and its playground, the doctor’s office, the family residence that doubled as a hospice, and the taxi rides between—all composed in that altered state between hope and despair.
Eventually, my poem “Unlikely Blessings” came into form. In the second line, “grave green lawn” is also a distant echo of the inscrutable phrase from “Engführung”: “Gras, auseinandergeschrieben” (“Grass, written asunder”).
The poem became my way of “passing through” the battery of chemotherapy my youngest son underwent over the next three years: successful, most fortunately. His treatment involved a drug called vinblastine, which is derived from the toxic rosy periwinkle plant, Catharanthus roseus (or Vinca rosea), native to Madagascar. This direct experience of a lifesaving cure gave me a new appreciation of my own field, ethnobotany—the study of traditional knowledge about plants.
It also reinforced for me Celan’s words about the capacity of poetic language to help us “come to light again” after experiencing the unthinkable.
Peace can be a sky-blue hospice with daffodils
a grave green lawn for innocents
bald and serene as Buddhist monks
Happiness can be written in Chinese
on a decal clinging to a jade bar of soap
at the visitors’ sink
Beauty can be simple and fragile as children laughing
the play of skin and shadow
under the unknowing sun
Fate can be exactly the size and shape of an olive
diagnosis or misdiagnosis
a surgeon squinting over a slide
Salvation can be danger thinly veiled
caustic milk of the periwinkle
halfway from malignant to benign
Faith can be a near empty chapel
waiting for you to get desperate enough
to sing with the others Ha-ha-hallelujah
Hope can be the worst kind of houseguest
hanging between the quick and the damned
counting unlikely blessings

CCC publishes net-zero report panning agri-food policies, farmer blog-rants about NGOs, experts attempt to define ‘better and less’ meat, and chicken is apparently cheaper than chickpeas
After the brevity of the new food strategy for England earlier this month comes 619 pages from the climate change committee detailing progress in reducing emissions. In summary: the government is half-decent at setting targets and talking about its net-zero ambitions but is taking what the committee refers to as a “high wire approach” to actually delivering them. “It’s kind of ironic that the CCC has named this a ‘progress report’ when the government’s progress on climate policy is grinding to a standstill,” said Greenpeace UK’s Ami McCarthy.
Progress in reducing farming emissions has been particularly “glacial”, according to the committee. Despite being vital to delivering net-zero, agriculture and land use have “the weakest policies”, it warned, with the government’s strategy of a fortnight ago (33 pages) doing little to address this. There is too much reliance on technology and too little on demand-side measures.
The experts said government should consider influencing diet shifts through for example mandating plant-based options in public settings and requesting health and education providers to incorporate carbon footprinting in their menus. The former is certainly gaining steam while the latter results in it spurting from Jeremy Clarkson’s ears (The fast car fanatic turned farmer has been a vocal critic of moves by local authorities to serve plant-based meals at events). The CCC wants to see “slightly less but better meat and dairy” consumed.
What constitutes ‘better’ is debatable (as this Footprint report found). Cue a timely paper in the journal Nature Food this week which covered the definitions of ‘less but better meat’ used in scientific literature. Authors Kajsa Resare Sahlin and Joanna Trewern found that interpretations of better meat spanned environmental sustainability, improved animal welfare and nutrition but there was much less clarity on which farming systems achieve these outcomes. Social and economic themes like workers’ livelihoods were also “largely missing” from the conversation. “More work needs to be done to establish a vision of future livestock production systems that have improved outcomes across sustainability themes and can be agreed on by a wide range of stakeholders,” they wrote.
Which brings us to a poll, commissioned by WWF, showing that more than 70% of British adults want the UK government to provide more support, including payments, for farmers that invest in farming practices that tackle climate change as well as benefit wildlife and nature.
New research by Rothamsted meanwhile has showed that the high crop yields usually obtained using man-made fertilisers can instead be achieved through a combination of more environmentally friendly practices (such as growing a greater range of crops, planting beans or clover to enhance soil fertility, and adding manure and compost to soils).
That will be music to the ears for producers facing eye-watering chemical fertiliser costs. The UK agricultural partnership met this week to discuss soil health, as well as the potential for soil carbon markets. NFU Scotland president Martin Kennedy has been Facebooking and blogging recently about the positive carbon content in his soils. He used the results to have a dig at environmental NGOs that want to turn agricultural policy “on its head, and to focus support mostly on the environment rather than on food production”. Green groups that kick farmers for damaging the land are talking “bollocks”, he reportedly said in a Facebook post.
Clarkson will be pleased – both with the sentiment and the language. The title of the latest episode of Ends Report’s Eco Chamber podcast – Dirty dairy, polluting poultry and muck-spreading mayhem – suggests there is another side to the story, too. Farm pollution is a topic to watch.
Farmers have also been shouting about the protein transition this week – via a report from ProVeg International looking at the opportunities and challenges in shifting from traditional animal products to alternatives. The research with farming groups covers everything from regenerative approaches and algae aquaculture to the production of plant-based proteins and cultured meat.
Research recent got underway to determine whether cultured meat is a threat or an opportunity to UK farmers. Led by the Royal Agricultural University, the work will explore what the concept means for “a range of real-life agricultural businesses” and help to shape policy as interest in the products gathers momentum.
Regulators in the US and Europe are under pressure to follow Singapore’s lead in approving the first cultured meat for sale (chicken nuggets, naturally). The Food Standards Association’s research shows a third of UK consumers are willing to give them a try but see insects as a safer bet. Plants are the alternative protein of choice currently, though,
New polling of 1,500 UK shoppers by the Vegan Society shows 35% are scaling back on meat or cutting it out altogether in a bid to stretch their weekly food budget. More than half (53%) said they’d be interested to try a vegan diet provided the savings are made clear. The society has helpfully published some evidence here showing that split red lentils, peanut butter and baked beans are the cheapest proteins per portion.
The fact that chicken is fourth, ahead of chickpeas and kidney beans, is surely cause for concern. So too news provided by BigHospitality that Honest Burgers is to convert its all-vegan V Honest site close to London’s Leicester Square back to its core concept (we’ve asked why and await a response). The move has worked for the likes of Pret A Manger but Brits (and tourists) obviously still want the option of beef in their burgers and cheese on their chips (though scientists are getting closer to mimicking dairy cheese by using yellow peas, reports Anthropcene).
The good news is that Honest is leading the charge towards regenerative farming – which it defines as “farming with as little impact on the soil and environment as possible”. By 2024 all its 40 restaurants will be serving beef from such farms. Whether that fits the definition of ‘better’ is, it seems, moot (see also last week’s Digest).
