Operation Deliverance | Operation Deliverance was a Canadian military operation in Somalia that formed part of the United Nations peace-making deployment to that country during the early part of the Somali Civil War. The mission began on December the 3rd, 1992 and involved about 1,400 Canadian troops, a helicopter unit and the supply ship .
While Canada's mission objectives were largely completed, including the freeing of a captured Canadian journalist and the defeat of the Somali warlord Mohamed 'Tiger' I. Barre, Operation Deliverance turned into a political disaster for the Canadian Forces after several Somali civilians were brutally killed or injured in what became known as the Somalia Affair. The Somalia Affair was largely responsible for the disbandment of the Canadian Airborne Regiment in 1995 and additionally resulted in numerous dismissals and resignations along the chain of command up to, but not including, the Minister of Defence
Canada lost one soldier during the mission, Corporal Michael David Abel of the Canadian Airborne Regiment. He was killed when a rifle being cleaned by a fellow soldier discharged accidentally, shooting him.

Pontenet | Pontenet is a municipality in the Jura bernois administrative district in the canton of Bern in Switzerland. It is located in the French-speaking Bernese Jura (Jura Bernois). On 1 January 2015 the former municipalities of Bévilard, Malleray and Pontenet merged to form the new municipality of Valbirse.
History
Pontenet is first mentioned in 1359 as Pontenat.
By 1371 Bellelay Abbey was one of the major landholders in the village. In 1515 they granted their lands in the village to Grosjean Girod de Loveresse. During the Early Modern era it was administered by the provost of Moutier-Grandval for the Prince-Bishop of Basel. In 1750 the Birs river flooded and destroyed the village mill, sawmill and bridge over the river. After the 1797 French victory and the Treaty of Campo Formio, Pontenet became part of the French Département of Mont-Terrible. Three years later, in 1800 it became part of the Département of Haut-Rhin. After Napoleon's defeat and the Congress of Vienna, Pontenet was assigned to the Canton of Bern in 1815. Throughout its history it was part of the parish of Bévilard.
In 1876 the Tavannes-Court branch line was built off the main Biel-Sonceboz-Delémont-Basel railroad. However, it was over forty years later, in 1918, that the train finally stopped in Pontenet. A few small workshops developed along the road and railroad into town.

The northern Grey Valley Trough and the Montgomerie Fault, north Westland, New Zealand | Abstract Seismic lines in the northern Grey Valley Trough show Upper Cretaceous-Paleocene Paparoa Coal Measures, locally over 0.75 km thick, overlain unconformably by thin Oligocene Cobden Limestone. The following Neogene succession, up to c. 4 km thick, thins to c. 3 km northeastwards along the trough. Initial southwest thickening of the sedimentary fill was followed, after a minor mid‐Miocene hiatus, by thickening to the northeast. The Grey Valley Syncline, whose axis lies close to the axis of the depositional trough, resulted from Quaternary deformation overriding the effects of the differing patterns of Neogene sedimentation. The few seismic lines that extend across the steep northwest flank of the asymmetrical syncline lose their sedimentary character northwestwards, and a major fault, considered to be the Montgomerie Fault, is inferred. Field data show this fault to extend from within basement rocks in the middle of the Paparoa Range south to the margin of the Grey Valley Syncline, and thence southw... | s2orc_title_abstract |

The only way to really know anything is to inquire. Go up to him and ask him, if you don't think he will be honest, then don't ask him. You will at least know that you will never know. If you are truly over him, then I'm sure you don't care that much anyway. You think about him because he was a part of your life once, other than that, he is of no consequence to you...theoretically.

Thermal conductivity and thermal expansion coefficient of diamond/5 wt%Si–Cu composite by vacuum hot pressing | Abstract For prepared diamond/5 wt%Si–Cu composite materials by vacuum hot pressing, the microstructure and properties of composite materials were studied. The results show that relative density, coefficient of thermal expansion and thermal conductivity of the composite decrease with the increase in diamond content (0–20 vol%). Using 120/140 mesh diamond of 5% (volume fraction), the diamond/5 wt%Si–Cu composite was hot pressed at 1000 °C under pressure of 25.5 MPa in a vacuum for 10 min. Its relative density is up to 96%, thermal conductivity is 455 W/m K, as well as average coefficient of thermal expansion (20–600 °C) is 27 × 10 −6 /°C. | s2orc_title_abstract |

Responsibility is a key aspect of all regulation, and forest regulation is no exception. How should responsibility be understood and used in a time characterized by complexity and uncertainty? This paper develops a typology that distinguishes six notions of responsibility and then employs it in analyzing interpretations of responsibility in Swedish forestry practice. The Swedish forest management system is a deregulated system structured by the governing principle of “freedom with responsibility.” By investigating how responsibility is understood and enacted by forest consultants and forest owners, we demonstrate the practical fluidity of the responsibility concept. We emphasize the need for an understanding of responsibility that fosters sensitivity and adaptiveness to external issues and actors in the face of uncertainty, and identify obstacles in current forestry policy and practice to enacting such an understanding. | Controversies over forestry and environmental issues, including biodiversity, are common. Theory suggests that uncertainty may play a major role in framing biodiversity and its preservation. This paper examines written statements on biodiversity preservation published by two major Swedish organizations, i.e., the Swedish Forest Industries Federation and the Swedish Society for Nature Conservation, with different interests in forest use. Frame analysis suggests that when the actors pursue a certain policy course, both biodiversity-related uncertainty and lack of regulatory clarity are important factors contributing to dissimilar framings. This case study supports the general understanding that biodiversity-related uncertainty can have important implications for biodiversity preservation, in this case, via forest policy and legislation. Scientific uncertainty may allow actors with dissimilar interests in an issue to justify their standpoints. To successfully manage forest biodiversity in the future, legal frameworks must increasingly find ways to accommodate scientific uncertainty, and models must be developed in which stakeholders' diverging interests and values address uncertainties via dialogue. | s2orc_abstract_citation |

New York, California, Florida and Texas were most frequently recognised .
But foreigners drew a blank when asked to identify Mid-West states .
Previous studies found Americans know very little about international affairs . | By . Damien Gayle . Americans are notoriously incompetent when it comes to locating foreign countries on a map - even those where the world's superpower is waging war. But it seems the deficiency cuts both ways, with many foreigners unable to identify where the 50 states of the union can be located, research has found. When asked to click their mouse on where they thought a state was located, most foreigners were only able to recognise New York, California, Florida and Texas, with most of the rest a mere blur. Scroll down for video . Many foreigners are unable to identify the 50 states of the union, particularly mid-West states like Wyoming . Real-estate listings site Movoto used an online game to ask 400 people from outside the U.S. to hover their cursor over each state as its name popped up. While the four states which appear most in Hollywood films and exported U.S. television programmes were well recognised, and many knew at least whether a state was in New England, when it came to the rest of the western, mid-western and southern states, results were abysmal. 'Colorado, Wyoming and Utah were all frequently confused with one another, while the placement of Ohio stretched from Indiana all the way to Kansas,' said Chris Kolmar, Movoto's 'chief armchair economist'. 'Kansas itself was often placed in Utah, or even Arkansas. And almost nobody was able to locate Georgia correctly.' He said that most respondents, whether or not they were right, seemed confident in their choice 'even when they were placing Virginia somewhere around Nebraska, or relocating Pennsylvania to South Carolina.' Real-estate listings site Movoto used an online game to ask 400 people from outside the to hover their cursor over each state as its name popped up . The results will be pleasing for Americans, who have been globally mocked for their lack of knowledge of the world beyond U.S. borders. A poll of about 500 young Americans aged between 18 and 24 conducted for National Geographic in 2006 found that 6 per cent were unable to even locate their own country on a map of the world. It also found that only just more than a third were able to locate Iraq on a map of the Middle East, despite the U.S. staging a full-scale occupation of the country at the time. A study published in the European Journal Communication in 2009 which compared knowledge of international affairs among Britons, Danes, Finns and Americans found U.S. citizens came consistently last. Just 58 per cent of Americans knew who the Taliban were, compared to three quarters of Britons. However it did find that Americans were most likely to be able to identify Nouri al-Maliki as the prime minister of Iraq, with three in ten answering correctly, compared to just more than one in five of Britons. More recently, a Newsweek experiment which set 1,000 Americans the challenge of completing their country's citizenship test found 29 per cent could not name the current vice president and almost three quarters did not know what the Cold War was about. In 2003 a U.S. Strategic Task Force of Education abroad report warned that Americans' ignorance of world affairs was so bad it amounted to a threat to national security. Mr Kolmar concluded his report on foreigners' knowledge of the 50 states by saying: 'Whether at home or abroad, it seems like just about everyone could stand to brush up on their geography.' However, some have more work to do than others. | cnn |

The significance of asymptomatic microhematuria in women and its economic implications. A ten-year study. | A prospective study of 177 women with asymptomatic microhematuria was carried out over a ten-year period. The implications of asymptomatic microhematuria in this population indicate that endoscopic evaluation of the bladder may be unnecessary, as no vesical neoplasms were discovered. It seems that cytologic examination of the urine may be a simpler, more cost-effective method for screening the female population with microhematuria. | s2orc_title_abstract |

Caroline Wozniacki is winning matches as well as fans at the U.S. Open .
The former world No. 1 had the crowd behind her as she upset Maria Sharapova .
Wozniacki is now picking up her game after being dumped by Rory McIlroy in May .
Dane will play Italian 13th seed Sara Errani in quarterfinals in New York . | (CNN) -- Caroline Wozniacki has had her critics in the past. A defensive game and not landing a grand slam title while she was ranked No. 1 provided fodder for her detractors. But now everyone, it seems, is rooting for the Dane. Why? Well, much of it must be down to the fact that Wozniacki was dumped -- and very publicly -- by golf sensation Rory McIlroy only months before they were due to tie the knot. McIlroy ended the relationship in May, saying he wasn't ready for marriage, and the news left Wozniacki devastated. She was visibly distraught as she spoke to reporters at the French Open soon after, and exited in the first round, her earliest loss at Roland Garros in seven years. The Northern Irishman has since rediscovered his vintage form, claiming he is more focused, and has won two major titles and regained his No. 1 ranking. Wozniacki has also picked up her game after a lengthy slump. She's the favorite to reach the U.S. Open final from the bottom half of the draw after upsetting Maria Sharapova on Sunday. And whereas Wozniacki said earlier in 2014 she would like to become a young mother -- suggesting her tennis days were numbered -- her own focus is now solely on the court. That Wozniacki is prospering in New York is slightly ironic -- it was where she was reportedly supposed to marry McIlroy in November. She's sure to return to the Big Apple that month, however, having decided following their split to run in the New York City Marathon. Wozniacki has so far refused to discuss her relationship with McIlroy at the U.S. Open, not that any of the fans minded. The crowd at Arthur Ashe Stadium in her match against Sharapova was firmly behind the 24-year-old, leading her to gush afterwards: "The crowd was amazing today." Her victory over Sharapova put Wozniacki into a first grand slam quarterfinal since the 2012 Australian Open. "The season for me has been a little bit up and down," Wozniacki said. "And it's so nice to kind of start feeling like I'm playing the way I want to. "This hard-court season has been amazing for me. I actually started already feeling really good on court since Eastbourne (in June). I have just been building on my game since then." Wozniacki won a title in Istanbul in July and even though she didn't add to her haul in Montreal and Cincinnati, the player that stopped her was world No. 1 Serena Williams. Both of their encounters went to three sets. They have become good friends this year, spending time together in Miami after their early departures from the French Open. Although Wozniacki still can't be considered an attacking player, her serve has improved, and she has become more aggressive on the baseline. Her retrieving, though, is still what gives opponents problems. Making Sharapova keep running paid off, as the Russian committed 43 unforced errors. "I think she's better at what she's done really well in her career," Sharapova said. "I think she's moving extremely well; she's fit. "I mean, she's always been fit, but there is a little bit more on her defense shots. "It's not just balls up in the air. She's doing a little bit more with them." Wozniacki faces another counter puncher, Sara Errani, in the last eight on Tuesday, and could face Williams -- again -- in the final. Williams advanced to the quarterfinals Monday by beating Estonia's Kaia Kanepi 6-3 6-3. "I have had a great summer, and I told Serena I'm pretty tired of her," said Wozniacki. "I said, 'Can you just get out of my way?' "We just laugh about it. This one was a great win for me. Maria, again, is a good player. For me, I think mentally as well to get that in my pocket is kind of nice. "I still have hopefully a few good matches in me here in this tournament." Pennetta continues U.S. success . New York is also proving to be a happy hunting ground for Flavia Pennetta, a semifinalist last year. The Italian won the biggest title of her career in Indian Wells, California in March but has done little to back that up since. However, the 11th seed is now one win away from matching that feat after topping Australia's Casey Dellacqua 7-5 6-2 in early play Monday to earn a place in the last eight. But to get any further the 32-year-old will have to get past defending champion Williams. The winner of that match will face either former world No. 1 Victoria Azarenka or Russia's Ekaterina Makarova. Azarenka, a beaten finalist in New York the past two years but seeded 16th after a year of injury problems, came from behind to beat Serbia's Aleksandra Krunic 4-6 6-4 6-4. Makarova, the 17th seed, reached the last eight for the second year in a row after upsetting Canada's rising star Eugenie Bouchard, winning 7-6 (7-2) 6-4 against the seventh seed. Meanwhile, men's No. 1 Novak Djokovic beat Germany's Philipp Kohlschreiber 6-1 7-5 6-4 and will face Andy Murray in the quarterfinals. Eighth seed Murray, who beat Djokovic in the 2012 final to win his first grand slam title, brushed off France's world No. 10 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga 7-5 7-5 6-4. Japanese 10th seed Kei Nishikori reached the second grand slam quarterfinal of his career after outlasting Canada's No. 5 Milos Raonic in a marathon match that ended at 2:26 a.m. local time -- equaling the latest finish in the tournament's history. Nishikori triumphed 4-6 7-6 (7-4) 6-7 (6-8) 7-5 6-4 in four hours 19 minutes to earn a clash with third-ranked Stanislas Wawrinka. The Australian Open champion, a semifinalist here last year, defeated Spanish 16th seed Tommy Robredo 7-5 4-6 7-6 (9-7) 6-2. | cnn |

‘Loss of NSO control would weaken RTÉ role in society’ | Unions at RTÉ have warned the broadcaster’s board that if the National Symphony Orchestra (NSO) is taken from its control, it will “be undermining its own strength and place in Irish society”.
An independent report on the future of RTÉ’s two orchestras, the Concert Orchestra and the NSO, said the broadcaster should retain the former.
However, the report by former director of BBC Radio, Helen Boaden, recommends that the NSO should be established either as a national cultural institution in its own right or as part of the National Concert Hall and funded by the Government.
Otherwise, Ms Boaden said, she would have to recommend a “poor second choice” — the closure of one of the orchestras.
The report found that while RTÉ’s income as a whole declined by 24% between 2007 and 2016 and it continues to face very significant financial challenges, during the same period the orchestras were relatively protected with income declining by 11%.
However, it said the orchestras now have significant vacancies and have been obliged to reduce commitments to touring and educational roles.
The report said it was hard to see how RTÉ could fund even the current level of provision, let alone cover the increase to budgets that would be required for the orchestras to return to full strength.
Shirley Bradshaw, chairwoman of the RTÉ Trade Union Group (TUG), said the removal of the NSO from RTÉ would be a cut to services which undermined the role of the national broadcaster and its contribution to culture.
“Already RTÉ made a very regrettable decision to cut jobs in its Young People’s department; the outsourcing of jobs to the private sector has undermined RTÉ already, handing over responsibility for the Symphony Orchestra is another step in that direction and it should be a huge concern to fans of music and supporters of a strong public service broadcaster,” said Ms Bradshaw.
We welcome the recommendation in the review that both orchestras should be fully staffed and resourced, something unions have been calling for over recent years as management failed to fill a range of vacancies. However, we would like that RTÉ, as the public service broadcaster with a cultural remit, receives the support it needs to achieve that.
TUG said it is “ironic” that the review does paint a very positive picture for the NSO and the Concert Orchestra.
Fran McNulty, chairman of the National Union of Journalists’ sub-branch within RTÉ, said: The RTÉ board must defend the values of public service broadcasting and that applies across all services.
“The report acknowledges that Ireland is not unique and that orchestras across Europe are under pressure. Is it possible that Ireland could learn from the lessons of other countries and be more imaginative in our approach to funding? | ccnews |
Abstract The link between mechanics and biology in the generation and the adaptation of bone has been studied for more than a century in the context of skeletal development and fracture healing. However, the interplay between mechanics and biology in de novo generation of bone in postnatal defects as well as healing of morcellized bone graft or massive cortical bone autografts is less well understood. To address this, here we integrate insights from our previously published studies describing the mechanobiology on both de novo bone generation and graft healing in a common ovine femoral defect model. Studying these effects in a common experimental model provides a unique opportunity to elucidate factors conducive to harnessing the regenerative power of the periosteum, and ultimately, to provide mechanistic insights into the multiscale mechanobiology of bone generation, remodeling and adaptation. Taken together, the studies indicate that, as long as adequate, directional transport of cells and molecules can be insured ( e.g. with periosteum in situ or a delivery device), biological factors intrinsic to the periosteum suffice to bridge critical sized bone defects, even in the absence of a patent blood supply. Furthermore, mechanical stimuli are crucial for the success of periosteal bone generation and bone graft healing. Interestingly, areas of highest periosteal strain around defects correlate with greatest amounts albeit not greatest mineralization of newly generated bone. This may indicate a role for convection enhanced transport of cells and molecules in modulation of tissue generation by pluripotent cells that ingress into the defect center, away from the periosteum and toward the surface of the intramedullary nail that fills the medullary cavity. These insights bring us much closer to understanding the mechanobiological environment and stimuli that stimulate the proliferation and differentiation of periosteum-derived progenitor cells and ultimately drive the generation of new bone tissue. Furthermore, these insights provide a foundation to create virtual predictive computational models of bone mechanophysiology, to develop cell seeding protocols for scale up and manufacture of engineered tissues, to optimize surgical procedures, and to develop post-surgical therapies with the ultimate goal of achieving the best possible healing outcomes for treatment and/or reconstruction of postnatal bone defects. | Periosteum is a smart mechanobiological material that serves as a habitat and delivery vehicle for stem cells as well as biological factors that modulate tissue genesis and healing. Periosteum's remarkable regenerative capacity has been harnessed clinically for over two hundred years. Scientific studies over the past decade have begun to decipher the mechanobiology of periosteum, which has a significant role in its regenerative capacity. This integrative review outlines recent mechanobiological insights that are key to modulating and translating periosteum and its resident stem cells in a regenerative medicine context. | s2orc_abstract_citation |

I masturbated on day 21 for science. Now on day 32, my report. | I didn't want to write a report about my experiment until I had some days between day 21. On day 21 I had some intense urges and masturbated WITHOUT PORN OR FANTASIZING to see how the act itself physically affected me and how long it took to recover.
I have not edged to porn or looked at porn in 32 days, but I found something interesting happened.
After fapping on day 21. Immediately after orgasm, for the next 15 minutes, I went into a trance. I got an intense migrane, and the most interesting part, my mind was starving for the MEANING OF THE ORGASM. Because there was no human connection and therefore no oxytocin release, my body backfired. The rest of the day my body was malfunctioning. I could not focus, I could not be happy, it was so confused. The next morning I was SO TIRED. It took about 5 days to feel normal and back on track.
So what I learned is that masturbation is such an abnormal practice that it literally confuses the hell out of the body because it serves no purpose. I am now on day 32 with my new understanding of this truly abnormal behavior in-which I will never partake in again.
I feel better and more like a man every day, the benefits are incredible. | reddit_title_body |

PURPOSE ::: To describe the diagnosis and treatment of 34 cases of congenital tracheobronchial cartilage remnants of esophagus. ::: ::: ::: METHODS ::: The diagnosis and treatment of 34 cases of congenital tracheobronchial cartilage remnants of esophagus were analyzed retrospectively in our hospital. ::: ::: ::: RESULTS ::: Congenital tracheobronchial cartilage remnants of esophagus could be specifically diagnosed by clinical situation and esophageal barium meal examination. The anterior wall of the esophagus was cut longitudinally with the posterior wall of the esophagus preserved. And the cartilage was removed and the open anterior wall of the esophagus was sutured horizontally with full layer. In our study, 34 patients who underwent the operation had a satisfactory outcome. However, one patient underwent submucosal cartilage stripping, which resulted in a complication involving fistulae from the esophagus to the abdominal cavity that were healed after gastrostomy and nutritional support. ::: ::: ::: CONCLUSION ::: Congenital tracheobronchial cartilage remnants of esophagus caused symptoms when the infants were started on adjunct foods. Vomiting the food without gastric fluid and bile was the leading clinical manifestation. Distinguishing signs on esophageal barium contrast could be used as preoperative diagnosis evidence. Surgically removing the cartilage and horizontally suturing the esophagus provides a reliable outcome. ::: ::: ::: LEVEL OF EVIDENCE ::: Level IV. ::: ::: ::: TYPE OF STUDY ::: Retrospective study. | A rare case of esophageal atresia/tracheo-esophageal fistula (EA-TEF) with an associated tracheobronchial remnant (TBR) is reported and discussed herein. A 13-month-old patient was seen with a complaint of vomiting of solid food 1 year after EA-TEF repair. An esophagogram showed a tapered narrowing in the lower segment of the esophagus. A re-operation was carried out and a pathologic examination of the resected stenotic segment revealed the presence of a TBR. | s2orc_abstract_citation |
