Here are some of the first photos of the bare printed circuit board (PCB) of NVIDIA’s upcoming GeForce GTX 1180 graphics card (being called PG180), and referred to by the person that leaked these photos as the “GTX 2080”, although most people are calling it the GTX 1180. This PCB looks to be right off the press as the SMT points and vias are still exposed. Looking at the traces the GT104 GPU should be about the same size as the GP104. The GPU is wired to eight memory chips on three sides, which confirms a 256-bit wide memory bus. Outputs looks to be flexible for either 2x DisplayPort + 2x HDMI, or 3x DisplayPort + 1x HDMI configurations.
The VRM setup is quite powerful as the card draws power from a combination of 8-pin and 6-pin PCI-Express power connections. There is a 10-phase VCore side, which is more than likely a 5-phase with “dumb” phase-doubling as well as a 2-phase for memory, which also could use phase-doubling (so 1-phase). We do spot a new connector which looks to be a single SLI finger and an NVLink finger arranged side-by-side.

Staying in your comfort zone is not the answer. Instead, learn how your personality traits form your comfort zone, then realize that you need to develop self-awareness and determine how to step out of your comfort zone to make your dreams come true.
Why lead when you can follow?

Jim Ellermeyer discusses the difference between Pleasure and Joy. Why is Pleasure so hard to pursue and can get us into trouble and the sustainability of Joy. We look at Krishna Pendyala’s take on "The Pig and the Ape” from his book.
Learn more about "Beyond the Pig and the Ape"! Buy the book via Amazon!
"So, there’s a friend of mine. He’s a good friend of mine. I’ve spoken to him many times, and he’s an individual by the name of Krishna Pendyala. He has written a book called Beyond the Pig and the Ape realizing success and true happiness. So, when we look at pig, it’s pursuing instant gratification. And, for many people, instant gratification equals pleasure, does it not? And, also what we do – the ape is avoiding painful experiences. So, for those of you out there who are unfamiliar with Krishna’s work I would suggest that you perhaps pick up this book and read it, and it will really give you a distinction between how we search for instant gratification believing that it is going to make us happy and joyful, and avoiding painful experiences."

Unfortunately, tongue piercings can have a serious impact on health. Pediatric dentists routinely advise adolescents to avoid intraoral or perioral piercings for a number of good reasons.
Most commonly, severe pain and swelling are experienced for several days after the piercing episode. The new holes in the tongue are especially infection-prone, because the oral cavity is home to many bacteria colonies. In addition, saliva production may increase as the body responds to a completely unnatural entity in the mouth.
Long-term problems with tongue piercings are very common. The screw-on balls constantly scrape against tooth enamel, making teeth susceptible to decay and gums susceptible to periodontal disease.
If the tongue bar is inappropriately long, it can get tangled around the tongue or teeth. In a similar way to an earring getting ripped out of the ear, a tongue bar can be ripped out of the tongue.

Contoured to perfectly fit a player's hand, the Nunchuk controller builds on the simplicity of the Wii Remote controller and goes an extra step to meet the needs of gamers. The Nunchuk controller connects to the Wii Remote controller at its expansion port and is used in conjunction with the Wii Remote controller.
The Nunchuk controller contains the same motion-sensing technology enabled in the Wii Remote controller but also includes an analog stick to assist in character movement. In several games, players will use the analog stick of the Nunchuk controller to move their characters and the Wii Remote controller to perform a specific action, whether that's throwing a pass in football or aiming a ranged weapon in an action game.
Along with the analog stick, the motion-sensing Nunchuk controller also contains two buttons positioned for quick access. Because the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers are only relatively dependent on each other, players are free to hold them in whichever hand is most comfortable. The ambidextrous nature of the Wii controllers grants accessibility seldom seen in game controllers.
The Nunchuk is usable with both the Wii and Wii U systems.

That's one helluva lotta lurkers ... or surveillance operatives looking over us ?
So, lurkers ... noobies ... freshers ... whatever ... c'mon in and have your say, or tell us why not ?
Is it 'too robust' an environment ?
raises glass 'To new blood !!! "
Plenty of people like to read comments but don't feel brave enough to post, or perhaps don't feel that they have anything to say.
And don't forget that even those who do post, don't post something every time they view the thread. I view threads I have contributed to, daily, but if the new replies don't particularly interest me, or I don't feel I have anything more to add, I won't reply.
Just looked 2 posts to 28 views !!!
I haven't found a post preview on here so maybe they see the title and have a look but find the subject boring and so don't bother?
The more popular threads usually have around a 10% views to posts ratio. But of course many of the views could be the same people revisiting the thread.
bodleing2: The more popular threads usually have around a 10% views to posts ratio. But of course many of the views could be the same people revisiting the thread.
Yes, I think that is the situation - there is no notification to "replys"... so there is a sense of having to babysit a thread and go back and check it several times.
That of course increases the number of hits a page has... and is an incentive for advertisers to buy space.
HexagonKeySet: Just looked 2 posts to 28 views !!!
13 hours in and your stats say 94 with 6 - now 7 comments.
No one's getting famous here.
Every time someone refreshes the thread, or moves from one page to the next it counts as a view.
I think, plainly there's an audience ... there's just not so much by way of audience participation eh !!!
Members don't come here just to read the threads for their own sake. They come here to glean information about a prospective date who comments on the forums and get clues to their personalities.
Toxic Narcissists and scammers also use the forums for this when selecting their next victim. It is easier to get a victim's psychological makeup than just reading their profile. lol. Hence all the views, but no comments.
Demeter123: Members don't come here just to read the threads for their own sake. They come here to glean information about a prospective date who comments on the forums and get clues to their personalities.
I feel the need to comment on your post!
I'm back on CS after taking a long break (read Ban) I Got a different nickname at that time. I follow a lot of threads, and comment several times. I noticed that freedom of speech is an issue on the Forum. Quite some comments that I posts where removed by the administrators. when I comment on religious issues, political questions that doesn't fit in their minds, my messages have been deleted. ..It's terrible that narrow-minded minds have no broad-minded view of the nature of certain posts, and remove random quality informational comments.For this reason, I try to limit myself to posts only with light- and fleeting comments ... maybe this post will also be removed.
In addition, I also notice quite a bit of negativity on posts, people who don't look through the lightness, and take everything too seriously, and respond to it with negative comments. Therefore, I feel rather limited, and I always have the feeling that I've to choose my words carefully.
So I understand very well why 'the new blood' hesitate to participate when they read certain negative comments from certain members.

The first step has been taken in the construction of a new $13.2 million Rangiora primary school.
The milestone was marked last Friday with the official sod-turning ceremony at the site on the corner of Johns and Pentecost roads.
The new school, initially referred to as Rangiora West School, will be known as the Te Matauru Primary School, for pupils from 5 to 13.
It is due for completion early next year.
The name, which means “eyes to the west”, was the concept of Lynne Te Aika and was gifted to the school by the Tuahiwi runanga, Ngai Tuahuriri.
The runanga also gifted the school a Maori language motto: “Ekea ka taumata ki te uru”, or “Look to the peaks of the alps and ascend great heights”, which Lynne also composed.
After the ceremony, the small crowd, including new school principal Danny Nicholls, members of the board of trustees, Waimakariri MP Matt Doocey, Mayor David Ayers, several other Waimakariri school principals, and several students, moved into an empty house on the property to escape the cold conditions for the remainder of the official speeches.
The old brick house on the site will be used by the Southbase Construction crew during the winter as an administration building, but will eventually be demolished.

BERKLEY, Mo. — Two days after a very heated City Council meeting in nearby Ferguson, Mo., more than 150 protestors gathered to shut down Highway 70 for a few minutes.
The shutdown planned as part of efforts to pressure authorities to deliver justice in the fatal shooting of Michael Brown, an unarmed Black teenager shot by a White police officer in Ferguson, was thwarted by a heavy police presence along the road leading up to the highway on-ramp.
Demonstrators started by gathering at the southwest corner of Hanley Ave. and Highway 70, just opposite the place where two unarmed Black men were killed by a pair of police officers back in 2000.
“The reason for this action is because the community is demanding a special prosecutor over this case,” said Attorney Eric Vickers, main organizer of the Sept. 10 shut down.
“We will make a point to stop business as usual. This shut down gets the attention. We have rights, now they are saying we cannot be on the grass, shoulder or highway. I thought we had an understanding with the highway patrol when we met, but we will see,” Atty. Vickers responded.
As the protestors began to huddle and organize for the planned civil disobedience, police in riot gear started to line up across all entry points at the highway ramps.
Protestors were led by activists Anthony Shahid and Zaki Baruti of the Justice for Michael Brown Leadership Coalition and Attorney Vickers.
When the protestors attempted to squeeze through an opening to the ramp they were blocked by the police and ordered to step back.
“We are young and strong and we’re marching all day long!” and “If we don’t get it, shut it down!” demonstrators started to shout.
The attempt to shut down the highway was prevented by the massive presence of highway state troopers and county officers. But the scene drew so much attention, highway traffic in the east and westbound lanes began to slow down. Drivers blew their horns and raised their hands out the window showing their support. This caused such frustration and inconvenience that the highway patrol detoured traffic two miles away from the area of protest.
As the protestors continued to fill the streets peacefully chanting and marching in a circle, the ranks of the officers increased and arrests began. The first people taken into custody were organizers Shahid, Vickers, Baruti and local Urban League president Michael McMillan.
Tensions rose as the atmosphere turned hostile with officers seemingly rushing and randomly snatching people from the crowd.
“Stand your ground, don’t run, when they come at you,” yelled one protestor.
At one point a woman was walking across the street and three officers ran up, grabbed her by the arm and snatched her sign. As she resisted and tried to get away, other protestors yelled and pleaded for officers to let her go. “She wasn’t doing nothing; why are y’all doing this?” another woman cried out.
“Clear the streets, this is a hostile situation, please leave the area or you will be arrested, including the media,” came a warning from a police vehicle intercom.
Demonstrators were determined not to be moved. Next appeared familiar armored vehicles, the same type from which stun grenades and tear gas canisters were launched in Ferguson during mainly peaceful protests.
Highway Patrol Captain Ron Johnson was on the scene but was unable to calm protestors. The order was given for officers to form a single file line across a service station lot to the highway ramps. Officers began walking toward protestors pushing them backwards, all who resisted or didn’t move were arrested.
At this point one of Mike Brown’s family members, Amir, told everyone to go to the Ferguson police department.
“I’ve been harassed by Ferguson, I don’t live there but I’m out here with the residents to see everyone come together. Ferguson police always pick on people,” said Margret Morrow, 67, who also attended the city council meeting earlier in the week.
The people of Ferguson came out to express themselves Sept. 8 to city council members and city officials. Among those present were Mayor James Knowles of Ferguson. The full capacity crowded into Greater Grace Church in Ferguson, Mo., which holds about 4,000 people.
Residents of Ferguson and surrounding areas came to voice concerns and dissatisfaction with the police department and its policies. People were met at the door by police officers in full combat gear and metal detectors. Emotions were high and the church foyer area was filled with law enforcement personnel.
A panel of 11 people, 10 Whites and one Black man, was seated before the crowd. Ferguson Mayor Knowles thanked everyone for coming and church pastor Bishop L.O. Jones opened up in prayer. Then the mayor asked everyone to stand for the national anthem and pledge of allegiance. As the last verse was recited “and justice for all,” the crowd roared, “For all, for all, for all!” for about 10 seconds. Then the pastor stood up with the microphone to settle the audience down.
Next, the mayor outlined the agenda for the meeting. “Everyone can speak and ask questions but the board members will not be answering them,” he said.

I remember when, as a younger veterinarian, the reps who promoted prescription diets would say, “Be sure to tell your clients that the diet is not guaranteed to prevent recurrence of the condition. However, be sure the pet doesn’t eat anything else.” While one pet after another did have a recurrence, I began to question why a prescription diet was necessary, or for that matter, even a good idea!
Now, it’s been well over a decade and I’ve run a successful holistic practice without using any prescription diets. We manage or cure disease with fresh, healthy species-appropriate diets.
Recently a new client told me she had just purchased an eight pound bag of prescription diet for $28.00. I was aghast! It’s been awhile since I’ve been aware of how much these foods cost. I’m surely going to stop telling customers that raw foods cost more than kibble now!
Despite the high cost, some prescription diets continue to include preservatives like ethoxyquin! Ethoxyquin is a dinosaur from the dark ages of kibble manufacturing. In the last decade or so, common sense and consumer pressure won out and cancer causing preservatives like BHA, BHT and ethoxyquin have disappeared from most premium, over the counter pet foods. At least they were removed from the foods targeted at pet owners who might take the time to look at the label.
It’s an embarrassment that the foods that have continued to contain these toxic ingredients are those prescribed by the “most knowledgeable” segment of the pet community, the veterinarians. Why is it that pet owners are apparently the only ones looking at the label?
It’s sad to note that the only way we’ve been trained to judge the quality of dog food is stool consistency. While it could be a fair reflection of the digestibility of the nutrients in the food, in reality, pet food manufacturers know how to artificially thicken those stools by using ingredients like cellulose. Methylcellulose is a semi-synthetic complex carbohydrate that can absorb large quantities of water. It can work as a laxative with increased water consumption but without it, methylcellulose firms the stools: Orthomolecular.Org One of the most noticeable changes when switching from a prescription diet to raw food is the decrease in stool volume, due to a dramatic decrease in this waste ingredient. This would be a true indication of food digestibility!
Manufacturers of most prescription diets also caution against long-term feeding of their diets. Most of these diets are extremely restricted in specific nutrients and they are not intended to be fed long term, as significant deficiencies can develop. However, this caution is not commonly relayed to pet guardians.
In my holistic practice I’ve successfully fed raw diets with large amounts of quality proteins to my liver and kidney patients for years. We combine each meal with probiotics and healthy amounts of blended greens to help remove waste protein (urea) through the feces. This blending, the presence of moisture, and the quality of the protein help limit the waste protein, which can become a burden to the compromised organs.
In addition, a fresh diet containing a variety of nutrients, including bone with adequate calcium, can help to balance phosphorous. Phosphorous can damage the kidneys when present in excess quantities. Consumers have been misled to believe that high protein content is the issue but a raw diet consisting of large amounts of quality protein can help maintain muscle mass and is very palatable.
Aging pets enjoy eating a variety of fresh, meat-based foods as their lives progress. Their health and bodies are more easily supported and repaired with nutrients from fresh, unprocessed foods, not those expensive prescription diets.

Treasurer John Kennedy's ongoing work to shed light on the millions of taxpayer dollars directed to nonprofits with little to no accountability hasn't gone unnoticed. Hammond attorney and popular blogger C.B. Forgotston is on part 27 of his online opus pulling back the curtain on all of the non-governmental organizations, or NGOs, that were identified by Kennedy as not being in compliance with financial reporting rules.
Now lawmakers are beginning to take notice as well. Rep. Dee Richard, an independent from Thibodaux, tells LaPolitics he's currently drafting legislation that would eliminate all NGOs from the appropriations process.
While Richard has stood with the fiscal hawks in the past, his partner on the bill, Rep. Cameron Henry, R-Metairie, is more a part of the group's leadership structure.
Other lawmakers are said to be working on proposals for the 2014 session, too, or at least investigating the issue closely, including Sen. Dan Claitor, R-Baton Rouge; Appropriations Chairman Jim Fannin, R-Jonesboro; and Rep. Franklin Foil, R-Baton Rouge.
Kennedy said he has been hearing from lawmakers on a regular basis and he believes there are several avenues available to them. “But they need to be careful. Not all NGOs are bad,” he said, citing councils on aging as an example.
Lawmakers might want to abolish NGOs altogether, he said, maybe create a prioritization schedule or require that each one is voted on separately.
“If voted on separately, I can only assume that things like the Purple Circle Social Club wouldn't pass,” Kennedy said.
What's Next for the Budget Reform Coalition?
For starters, the organization will continue to be referred to as the Fiscal Hawks, whether its membership likes it or not.
Secondly, the coalition may be inching toward a 2014 agenda that includes the drafting of their own appropriations bills, including a fully functional alternative to House Bill 1, the heart of the state's annual spending plan.
But first they'll have to meet. The coalition, which is made up overwhelmingly of fiscally conservative Republicans, hasn't sat at the same table since session ended, nor has it made any official decisions.
Still, it has been in the headlines recently, beginning with one story in The Lens that suggested a new alliance had been forged between the coalition and Democrats, and ending with another in The Times-Picayune that quoted lawmakers who called that description a “mischaracterization.” The latter was fueled by anti-Democratic remarks from House GOP Chairman Lance Harris of Alexandria that seemed to address the angst expressed last session by Jindal Republicans.
Another founding member of the coalition, Rep. Brett Geymann, R-Lake Charles, admitted that their war against one-time money in the budget was won last session with the help of Democrats and, if the battle continues to be issues-driven, that working relationship may need to be repeated.
“We're not against working with anyone,” he said.
The news stories in The Lens and Picayune, however, may have made that task more difficult.
“It forced Republicans and Democrats a little further apart,” Schroder said.
What hasn't changed about the coalition is its leadership structure, or lack thereof, with no clear chairman or director. Schroder plays the role of “cat herder” or whip. The coalition usually doesn't meet without him ringing a bell or two and he said meetings will likely commence in November.
“Everyone is doing their own little things,” he said.
Geymann, meanwhile, plays point on policy and Rep. Cameron Henry, R-Metairie, does the same, although in an unofficial capacity. He's the one working on the alternative budget idea that will eventually be presented to the whole group.
“If the House can come up with its own budget, we can see where all the money is. It's the next logical step for us,” he said, adding that the coalition wants to have a fleshed-out document in hand before approaching Republicans in the Senate.
Two term-limited state representatives are looking to move beyond the State Capitol.
Rep. Jeff Arnold, D-Algiers, the dean of the House first elected in 2002, is expected to announce his challenge to New Orleans City Councilwoman Kristin Palmer in District C in the February primary. The majority-black district spans the river from the West Bank to the French Quarter and nearby neighborhoods.
I am trying to get support outside of the usual suspects,” he said. The term-limited state rep is well-positioned to do just that as chairman of the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee for another two sessions.

One sign of a humane society is how we react when introduced to something unexpected and unwanted.
One sign of a humane society is how we react when introduced to something unexpected and unwanted. The recent discovery in Surrey of a raccoon found stuck in a leg-hold trap and the subsequent public discussion shows us a number of things.
First of all, it is completely understandable that when one discovers an unexpected and unwanted critter under their deck or in their shed the initial reaction is to get rid of it – for it is unwanted! Secondly, the reaction by those who have compassion for animals gives us a clear example of how even though a certain species is not wanted there are better ways to deal with the situation. The call for a ban on leg-hold traps is one example of providing more protection for raccoons.
Although difficult to confirm the numbers, there is another species in Canada that currently lacks protection under the law. The understandable reaction of some Canadians upon discovering an unexpected or unwanted child growing within is to get rid of it. While there are multiple ways to accomplish this, many are barbaric and fatal for the unwanted individual. As a society we must provide humane alternatives.
It is laudable to advocate for protection of animals. How much more then to advocate for something far more precious than an urban raccoon? If we are truly a humane and compassionate society then it’s time for Canadians ask for lawful protection of unborn babies, even though they may come unexpectedly or are not wanted.

8down voteaccepted The seven steps around the fire represents seven promises taken by newly married couple in the presence of the fire. In Hindu religion, he is believed as the maintainer of life. He carries the fruits of the yajna performed by us. So seven steps are done in presence of fire. These are called as SaptaPadi meaning seven steps in sanskrit. The couple take seven revolutions around the fire taking seven promises.
O’ bride you have walked one step with me. Now we have become friends;hence you will become provider of food.Help me to fulfill my vowed religious observances (vrats). May we have many sons and may they have a long life.
ஒரு குடும்ப தலைவர் இறந்து விட்டார்.
அவருக்கு வயது 40 கூட ஆகவில்லை.
அவரது மனைவி, 9 வயதான மகன், பெற்றோர் அனைவரும் உடலின் அருகே அமர்ந்து கதறி அழுது கொண்டிருந்தனர்.
இந்தக் குடுமபத்துக்கே குருஜியாக விளங்குபவர் அப்போது அங்கு வந்தார்.
அவரைக் கண்டதும் அவர்கள் மேலும் பெரிதாக அழ ஆரம்பித்தனர்..!
”குருஜி.! இவ்வளவு இளம் வயதில் என்னையும் என் மகனையும் நிர்க்கதியாக விட்டுப் போய் விட்டாரே..?
நான் என்ன செய்வேன்..? அவர் உயிருடன் வருவாரறென்றால் அதற்காக நான் எதுவும் செய்வேன்..!” என்றார்..!
தண்ணீர் வந்தது. அவர் கோப்பையை உடலின் அருகில் வைத்துத் தானும் அமர்ந்தார்.
”இறந்தவர் உயிருடன் திரும்பி வர வேண்டும் என நினைப்பவர், இந்தத் தண்ணீரை அருந்தலாம்.
இறந்தவர் திரும்பி வருவார். ஆனால் அதற்குப் பதில் நீரை அருந்தியவர் மரணமடைவார்..!” என்றார்..!
அவர்கள் ஒருவரை ஒருவர் பார்த்துக் கொண்டனர். ஆனால் யாரும் முன் வரவில்லை.
There are several key “ingredients” that make up great leaders in the workplace. One for certain is “persistence.” Although it is an essential ingredient, it also can be a tough one to add each and every day at work.
We all go through times when we would like to take a back seat and go for the ride instead of being the driver. As a work leader we need to be charged each day so we can inspire those with whom we work. We need to generate the energy to be persistent.
All great things take time. Know this and share it often. You must persist no matter what challenges and changes come to the workplace. If you do, your team will stay by your side.
When was the last time you asked your coworker if they needed help? When was the last time that you told your boss or coworkers thank you?
To show care and appreciation for each other at work is one of the greatest gifts we can give to one another. It makes our day and life so much better and takes so little to actually do.
Take moment today to show you care for those you work with and remember to say “thank you” too!
If you’ve ever acted on the saying “fake it till you make it,” you probably recognize the benefits of playing it cool and confident whether at work, at trying new things, or in social settings.
Confidence can make or break a lot of things. People who are sure of themselves tend to do better at interviews, on dates, and in accomplishing tasks. In our extrovert-centric society, confidence can get you a job, a girlfriend, and the courage to say no to people or situations that are toxic to you. Confidence is knowing yourself and taking care of yourself, too. Unfortunately, this societal view of exuberant confidence — where people who talk a lot are considered more competent than people who actually know more and do better — can be good in some ways, and harmful for introverts.

"How likely are you to recommend Historynewsnetwork.org to a friend or colleague?
Historynewsnetwork.org's promoters are those who respond with a score of 9 to 10, and they are likely to create most value, such as buying more, remaining customers for longer, and making more positive referrals to other potential customers. Detractors, responding with a score of 0 to 6 are believed to be less likely to exhibit the value-creating behaviors.
The Net Promoter Score of Historynewsnetwork.org is a number from -100 to 100 calculated by subtracting the percentage of detractors from the percentage of customers who are Promoters.
Is Historynewsnetwork.org's estimated NPS of 64 considered to be good?
Consider an example: If Historynewsnetwork.org sends out NPS surveys immediately after purchase, they are tracking their customers' initial excitement and the checkout experience.
Therefore, comparing the NPS score of Historynewsnetwork.org with your own without any further context is not that useful.

The idea of practicing anything for “just five minutes a day” must have been born in the shadow of the procrastination that impacts so many lives.
The five minute message is pretty ubiquitous if you start to listen for it. The simplicity of “five minutes” reveals its inherent wisdom, and those who use it to encourage others seem to understand human behavior.
We all know the real challenge is not five minutes. The real challenge is to begin it. And the teachers who encourage five minutes of practice know this.
They’ve set the bar low enough that even on our darker days, we can view five minutes as a light goal that is within reach. These teachers also know that the student who reaches for the guitar or does a handstand or sits in meditation will rarely just do it for five minutes. A cool musical chord will sound. The handstand will feel sturdy and legs will be straightened. A moment of calm will enter through silent meditation. The mind and body start to engage through movement and breath and intention.
And then it is underway. Once you begin, the joy of the core interest is again piqued, and practice becomes more than practice. It becomes fun.
Five minutes pass. Then five more. Then off you go and an hour has passed. Not only did you do the thing, you can feel a sense of pride for having done it, too.

Seven years after Elector Max III Joseph of Bavaria established the Electoral porcelain manufactory, he ordered that all porcelains be marked on the underside – with an image of the Wittelsbach coat of arms with diamonds whose tips at the time progressed from the bottom left to the top right. Over the years, Porzellan Manufaktur Nymphenburg's trademark has adopted many different guises. But one thing remains: it is still pressed using a little stamp made from biscuit porcelain into the soft mass. A task that may only be assumed by the most experienced craftsmen and craftswomen who besides the coat of arms also impress their initials into the object and so express their personal responsibility for the quality of their product.
Despite the different semblance that the mark on the underside of the objects assumed over time, it always remained recognisable: the symmetrical shape is the result of two concave upward curves, the convex indents on the sides and the lines flowing in and out towards the tip at the bottom. The field is filled with a diamond relief.
The continuous changes to the style and heraldry of the shield are a reflection of the 260 years of the manufactory's history. The symbols help experts date the items. As with valuable Aubusson tapestries or papers with watermarks, Porzellan Manufaktur Nymphenburg's mark possesses the status of a seal of quality. It is a guarantee of the highest production quality and is recognised throughout the world as Nymphenburg's mark.
All figures are also assigned a model number, sometimes combined with a size code I/II and the number of the former. Items of crockery are given a three- to four-digit model number as well as a single-digit size number.
Shield mark in blue underglaze around 1894.
Blue shield mark from 1895 - 1910.
Green underglaze shield mark from 1910 - 1975.
Green shield mark from 1975 - 1996.
Green shield mark from 1997 - 2007.
Shield mark in green since 2007.

Government officials have confirmed that China will phase out the preferential tax treatment granted to foreign companies in special economic zones, the Financial Times said.
The move follows China's accession to the World Trade Organisation and is an application of the principle of creating a level playing field for domestic and foreign companies. Officials are still discussing the new unified rate of tax to be charged, with one group favouring 25 per cent rate while another prefers 33 per cent, the rate currently levied on domestic firms. No decision has yet been taken on how long the phasing-out process will take – one official said that making local rules conform to national laws would be a complex and drawn-out task.

Is Faraday Future's Bonkers-Looking Car the Future of Electric Vehicles?
Is This Bonkers-Looking Car the Future of Electric Vehicles?
Vanity Fair explains why Faraday Future's future may not actually be in cars as we know them. "The brand will not be creating cars, per se, but seamless mobile delivery systems for your wireless digital life…You can download and nostalgically watch old seasons of Community while rolling from New York to Chicago if you don’t have to touch the wheel."
If you think that sounds like a bunch of nonsense, Jalopnik discusses why Faraday Future's debut left more than a few people disappointed and confused. "Faraday Future’s marketing message of being 'a new kind of car company' that would 'disrupt the industry' and 'change everything we know about cars' rang more than a little hollow."
Meanwhile Mashable goes into how Faraday Future used virtual reality to go from nothing to an actual car in only 18 months. "For all the amazing things about the car—and there are plenty—perhaps one of the most mind-boggling is the speed with which its designers created the 1,000-horsepower, single-seater EV race car from scratch."
Despite the Faraday Future hype, Forbes warns you shouldn't count out Tesla just yet. "Faraday Future debuted a stunning electric vehicle concept at CES 2016 on Monday night. But Tesla can do a lot between now and 2018 (or thereabouts) when Faraday plans to bring out a real car."
Finally, Tech Insider has a little something for the graphic designers, discussing the Faraday Future logo, which has garnered reactions from "fiendishly clever" to "looks like a fish" to "a bit derivative of the Police's album Ghost in the Machine."
If it doesn't offer any new battery or drive train technology.. It is Nothing but show.. Tesla only claim to fame was putting "laptop" type dry cell in a car.. Increased the energy density over Lead Acid.. at a significant cost.. Tesla didn't offer any New Real tech.. Electric cars are lame..
Oh goody, another million dollar VEhicle. It is not a "zero emission" car unless it is charged directly from solar or wind energy. Plugging in and charging from the grid traces back to coal and gas fired power plants. Plenty of emissions there.

Agent, the new life companion app from the TagStand team, is now available for purchase in the Play Store. At only $1.99, it’s worth the investment, considering the ease of use and seamless functionality. While you can certainly cobble together apps that will come close to the utility of Agent, nothing ties it together so beautifully or with such purpose.
Agent is comprised of a myriad of settings and features, designed to act as a concierge of sorts. The goal is to make the technology disappear when you need it to, and come to life when you least expect it. Currently, you can choose from five “agents” — Battery, Sleep, Parking, Meeting, and Drive — and all have proprietary functions with the aim of assisting you in your day-to-day activities. Agent will let you sleep, silence your device for meetings, and even remember where you parked. Best of all, you can customize the settings to fit your lifestyle or habits.
In diving through the app, we found plenty of tweaks and modifications to make life simpler for anyone, at any time of day. From setting the device to conserve battery at a given power level, to having it respond automatically via text to anyone who calls during the night, Agent is impressive.
A really interesting feature is Agent’s ability to silence your device when you’re in a meeting. It automatically checks your calendar, and notices when you’re occupied. No more embarrassing buzzes or awkward ringtones going off during a terse negotiation, or dinner date with the family.
Perhaps the most useful feature is the parking agent, which uses GPS to determine when you’ve been travelling and stopped. When you park, Agent will earmark your GPS location and save it for you, and is available via a Google Map inside the app. You’re free to wander around aimlessly through the city, and Agent will always know where you parked.
Of course, the drive agent is also going to come in handy for many of us. Like the Moto X’s read aloud feature, drive will read your messages to you while your hands are firmly planted on the wheel. You can auto answer calls, and select just who you want Agent to connect you to automatically. Agent will also respond to text messages automatically, letting needy friends and family know you’re a bit preoccupied at the moment.
For those of us who are a bit too busy to remember setting our device up at various points in our day, Agent is a great choice. Having Agent on your devices is like having an assistant who monitors your devices while you are getting things done, leaving you to think about real-life issues rather than if your phone or tablet is on silent. That alone is worth the price.

The Ides of March seem to have hit Lockheed Martin hard. The Pentagon’s 2020 budget report which suggested buying 80 Boeing’s F-15 for the first time since 2001 has resulted in a furious battle against Lockheed Martin’s advanced fifth generation F-35 that remains plagued by reliability, service life and accuracy issues after over a decade of development and billions of dollars spent!
While Lockheed’s CEO Marilyn Hewson has been going about town declaring any F-15 purchases will not be at the expense of F-35 which ‘enjoys support across the Congress, Pentagon, Air Force’ it hasn’t stopped it from getting lobbyists, journalists and other like-minded people to ensure F-35 stays relevant. This is the beauty of the military industrial complex, it upgrades its hardware and then tells you your hardware is now defunct and to stay relevant and strong in battle, you need to upgrade. No upgradation means no money for the complex.
Predictably, lobbyists and vested interest have sent letters to President Trump that any F-15 purchases will take away precious resources and undermine the important national security program of F-35. So as things currently stand its Pentagon vs US air Force. The Air Force’s argument is further F-15 purchases will skew the squadron ratio of 80% fourth generation and 20% fifth which means looking backwards. Interestingly, F-15 boasts of a much higher speed than F-35 and has a combat proven record showing it can take on the best there is globally and come out winning.
Boeing is currently selling F-15 to Israel, Saudi Arabia and Qatar and its new F-15 variation for USAF would be able to carry heavy loads which F-35 would not be able to do. Boeing has already said it’s ready to provide a highly survivable advanced F-15 variant at an affordable cost. Lockheed Martin, in counter is circulating a fact sheet against F-15 along with a three page white paper detailing F-35’s decisive edge over an unnamed fourth generation fighter and getting senators to say F-35’s development program is underfunded (despite billions of dollars spent and uncertainties). Pentagon budget documents signal that apart from these 80, F-15 could refresh F-15C, F-15D and F-15E over the decade marking more than 400 purchases. Considering that Lockheed Martin has nothing much to show for F-35 and also recently ate crow in the Pakistani Air Force F-16 dogfight vs. Indian Air Force’s Mig 21 Bison effectively losing the order for India specific F-21,its overreaction to court press can be understood.

Country artist Tim McGraw will perform a free concert in downtown Nashville as part of the NFL Draft festivities on Friday, April 26, and Gospel artist CeCe Winans will sing the national anthem to kickoff the historic event's opening night.
The performances by McGraw and Winans were announced by the NFL and the National Convention and Visitors Corp.
The NFL chose Nashville in part because of the city's musical heritage and had already announced plans to deeply incorporate live music into the three-day event that features professional teams selecting college players for their rosters.
McGraw is among the city leaders on Nashville's draft steering committee. His performance will begin at the conclusion of the draft's second day on Friday at the stage located on lower Broadway near the Cumberland River.
The draft is free for fans to attend.
The accomplished Gospel singer Winans was selected to perform the national anthem. The draft will be streamed online and broadcast on three television networks, ABC, ESPN and the NFL Network.
“Each year, the NFL strives to make the Draft weekend a memorable experience for our fans,” NFL Executive Vice President, Events & Club Business Development Peter O’Reilly said. “The passionate fan base and iconic location will ensure a unique experience that is unlike anything fans have ever seen.
The NFL and CVC plan to announce in the coming weeks approximately 20 performers covering several different genres to be featured during the event. In addition to the main stage downtown, the Nissan Stadium parking lot will be transformed into a football, food and music festival, which is also free to attend.

The UAE is a regional leader in building infrastructure, developing industrialisation and pioneering innovation. The UAE Government stresses on these as essential keys to sustainable progress. In the recent past, the visionary leaders of the UAE have announced several initiatives and policies in these fields.
The UAE will host Global Manufacturing and Industrialisation Summit (GMIS) scheduled to take place in Abu Dhabi in March 2017. The summit will bring together over 1,200 representatives from global governments, industries, civil society, students and academia to shape the future of manufacturing. The summit will focus on innovation, infrastructure, capital, markets, value chains, policy, society, environment and skills. The summit additionally seeks to bridge the opportunity gap between emerging and advanced nations for wider global development.
The UAE recognises industrialisation as the key to economic development. According to The Annual Economic Report 2015 produced by Ministry of Economy, the manufacturing sector was the third highest sector by percentage of employees hired during the year 2013. The sector hired 11.6 per cent of all employees that year. Employees in that sector earned 9.9 per cent of all the wages earned during the year 2013 making it the fifth highest sector by percentage of wages earned by the UAE’s workforce.
The UAE is not only encouraging traditional manufacturing but also technology-supported 3D printing. In April 2016, H. H. Sheikh Mohammed launched the Dubai 3D Printing Strategy. This initiative aims to exploit technology for the service of humanity and promote the status of the UAE and Dubai as a leading hub of 3D printing technology by the year 2030. Dubai’s key goal is to ensure that 25 per cent of buildings in Dubai are based on 3D printing technology by 2030.
The UAE has developed several strategies to promote its overall economic and social position and diversify its national income based on a sustainable and knowledge-based economy. Read about it under strategies and plans.
The UAE Government has recognised the importance of the Islamic economic sector, driven by the increase in the global Muslim population that numbers approximately 1.6 billion. Dubai was the first to establish Islamic banks worldwide with the opening of Dubai Islamic bank (DIB) back in the 1970s, in addition to having the Dubai Financial Market (DFM), which is the first global Shari'a compliant exchange.
According to the third edition of the Global Islamic Economy Indicator (GIEI), which covers 73 countries, the UAE is amongst the top three countries as one of the healthiest Islamic economy environments worldwide.
By virtue of Vision 2021, the UAE is striving to diversify its income resources by moving away from oil. In January 2012, Sheikh Mohammed launched the Green Economy initiative under the slogan: A green economy for sustainable development. Under this initiative, the UAE seeks to become a global hub and a successful model of the new green economy, to enhance the country's competitiveness and sustainability and preserve its environment for future generations.
Through this initiative, the UAE aims to become one of the world leaders in this area as well as a centre for the export and re-export of green products and technologies, and to maintain a sustainable environment to support long-term economic growth. The initiative includes a range of programmes and policies in the areas of energy, agriculture, investment and sustainable transport in addition to new environmental and constructional policies.
The sixth field includes development and promotion of green technology.
Currently, the UAE is underway to launch its roadmap for a future after oil. The strategy will include ideas and initiatives concluded in the retreat. It will work to strengthen the competitiveness of the current economic sectors as well as gradually introduce new sectors, which will achieve a giant leap in the UAE’s economy in accordance with the highest international standards.
Read how the UAE supports businesses under ‘No poverty’.
In September 2014, H. H. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum established Mohammed bin Rashid Centre for Government Innovation to stimulate the culture of innovation within the government sector, making the UAE one of the most innovative governments around the world.
In 2015, the UAE government injected AED300 billion to foster a knowledge economy, driven by innovation to prepare the UAE for a world after oil. The Emirates Science, Technology and Innovation Higher Policy launched 100 initiatives with major investments in education, health, energy, transport, space and water. It includes fields such as robotics, solar power, developing intellectual property, stem cell research and biotechnology.
an innovation drive within government.
The strategy will promote advanced technologies in healthcare services. It will stimulate the growth of the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries while also working with strategic partners to support medical research.
In November 2015, Sheikh Mohammed launched the Fund to Finance Innovation with a value of AED2 billion, which is a federal initiative designed to provide financing solutions for innovators across various sectors within the UAE. Priority will go to renewable energy, transport, education, health, technology, water and space sectors, and applicants must provide a business development plan to be eligible for funding. The fund is managed by Ministry of Finance in collaboration with local banks and various investment entities.
The UAE has an excellent infrastructural system comprising transport, communication and mail system.
The UAE has a fast, efficient telecommunications network. The Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) is responsible for the management of every aspect of the telecommunications and information technologies in the UAE.
In 2016, the UAE continued to lead the Arab world in terms of networked readiness with a global ranking of 26, according to World Economic Forum's Global Information Technology Report. This demonstrates the robust nature of the UAE's telecommunications sector and the government's success in leveraging advancements in the information and communication technologies to drive economic productivity and social development.
Two telecommunications operators, Emirates Telecommunications Corporation (Etisalat) and Emirates Integrated Telecommunications Company PJSC (du), are serving the UAE telecommunications sector. Both operators are licensed to provide public telecommunication services, which include landline, mobile phone, internet and satellite TV connections.
Al Yah Satellite Communications Company - is licensed to provide satellite and broadcasting satellite services in the UAE.
The UAE is very keen on developing her capabilities in the field of information and communication technology and is continuously undertaking measures to achieve that. One of the first steps was setting up free zones such as Dubai Internet City (in 1999) and Dubai Media City (in 2000) to support technology companies in the UAE and boost technological advancements and economic growth in the UAE and the Middle East. Later, in 2005, Dubai Silicon Oasis was established. Today, there are several free zones in the UAE that make publishing through modern information and communication technology possible.
The UAE’s Telecommunications Regulatory Authority set up ICT Fund in 2008. The primary role of the Fund is to apportion funds to projects that develop the UAE’s capabilities in the field of information and communication technology. Until 2014, the ICT Fund invested more than AED1.6 billion in various projects in information and communications technology sector including in education and space technology.
The UAE Government is very eager to use ICT tools to not only deliver services in quick and easy manner but also to provide customised services in the future. In 2001, the UAE launched its first eService - the eDirham card – as a mode of payment for government and non-government services. During the following years, more eServices were added leading to the conception and realisation of the UAE’s eGovernment programme.
In May 2013, H. H. Sheikh Mohammed launched the UAE Mobile Government Initiative with the aim to deliver government services to the public round-the-clock through mobile phones, smart devices, kiosks, wearable technologies, drones and robots. Read about the Smart UAE.
The Mohammed Bin Rashid Centre for Government Innovation was established to stimulate and enrich the culture of innovation within the government sector through the development of an integrated innovation framework. The goal is that innovation should become one of the key pillars of the UAE government in line with the vision of H. H. Sheikh Mohammed. which aims to develop government operations and enhance the UAE’s competitiveness, making the UAE one of the most innovative governments around the world.
Moreover, Mubadala, an Abu Dhabi Government company, is investing in a global portfolio of world-class information and communications technology assets, and providing high-tech employment opportunities in IT, technology, telecoms and satellite operations.
Emirates Post offers postal (including post box) and courier services. It also offers non-postal services including utility bill payment and marketing solutions.
Empost offers domestic and international courier services.
In the area of spreading entrepreneurship and innovation outside the UAE, Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives and its affiliated bodies aim to train officials and leaders from 155 governmental organisations from various countries around the world, in order to develop the governmental mindset and raise the level of public services. In addition, it has also invested 1billion AED to create an integrated environment to serve creative innovators locally, regionally and globally through the Museum of the Future.
In the area of building infrastructure outside the UAE, the UAEInteract website reports that the UAE donated 494.7 million AED in 2014, for planned infrastructure rehabilitation projects in Yemen.
The UAE has always provided support to Palestine and Gaza Strip by rebuilding or financing the rebuilding of their infrastructure.
Similarly, the UAE helped rebuild Egypt. According to the UAEInteract website, the total value of the UAE's humanitarian and development aid to Egypt between 1971 and 2014 amounted to 47.3 billion AED.
The UAE has also generously built/financed infrastructure in Pakistan and Afghanistan. After the floods ruined regions of Pakistan in 2010, the UAE undertook development and humanitarian programmes costing 320 million USD. The UAE’s Red Crescent Society is also very active in Pakistan.

Oia Santorini tours. Oia Village it’s by far the most beautiful and picturesque village on Santorini, since it is hanging from the cliff on the north side of island and offering a magnificent sunset, where the sun falls ‘in the sea’. It is ideal for quite vacations, strolls around the alleys, romantic diners, breathtaking views and elegant shopping.
Oia gives you a different view of the islands that constitute the volcano (Palia & Nea Kameni) and of the small island of Thirasia. All views are breathtaking. From Oia you can also take the boat to Thirasia.
Oia Tours starts at 4:00 PM and coming back from Oia after the sunset.
For a photography tour in Oia Santorini, the best time to start is at 10:00AM so you can have perfect colors on the pictures.

Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia-Herzegovina, was the major flashpoint of the Yugoslav Wars and the scene of the longest siege in modern history. On 2 May, Bosnian Serb forces besieged Sarajevo and began indiscriminately terrorizing the civilian population.
Canadian soldiers were vital to the efforts to help bring peace to Sarajevo, especially in July 1992, when the Sarajevo Airport – the besieged city’s only lifeline – came under control of the United Nations Protection Force (UNPROFOR). Canadian Major-General Lewis MacKenzie commanded the Sarajevo mission conducted by 1,000 Canadian peacekeepers. There was no peace to keep in the midst of a brutal interstate conflict and, as a result, the Canadians used aggressive tactics to protect the airport, deliver humanitarian aid, and keep their own people alive. Canadian peacekeepers saved the lives of tens of thousands of people and helped begin the peace process in the embattled Balkans.

Here is a scholarship opportunity for you guys! The Shawn Carter Scholarship Fund (SCSF) was founded on the belief that any motivated individual in need should have the opportunity to further his or her education. The SCSF provides individual grants, paid directly to the educational institution, to every student who qualifies and reapplies yearly, from admission to graduation. The grant can be used to cover tuition expenses and related supplemental educational expenses such as books, lab fees, travel and select costs of living.
The purpose of this post is to inform you that today at 9:30am, the Da Vinci high schools at 201 N. Douglas St. successfully completed a shelter-in-place emergency lockdown drill. Da Vinci Design participated in this drill in coordination with the El Segundo Police Department, as well as with Da Vinci Science, Da Vinci Communications, and the administrative offices of Da Vinci Schools and the Wiseburn Unified School District. The drill lasted approximately 15 minutes, during which time the building went into a complete lockdown as it would if there was an actual emergency.
Thank you to our students and staff for your full participation and cooperation. As always, our top priority is the safety and security of our students and staff, and drills like this are important opportunities for us to practice and improve our safety and security procedures.
The El Segundo Police Department — represented by our School Resource Officers Scott Black and Joe Cameron, and two additional officers, Scott O’Connor and Jeff Darringer — observed today’s drill and participated in a debriefing session with school leaders and administrators. ESPD gave us high marks for the speed and efficiency in which students and staff were able to lockdown in classrooms. They also provided important feedback to continue to refine and improve our emergency protocols.
Please take the time to discuss today’s drill with your child. If you have any questions about this event or any safety procedures at Da Vinci Schools, please contact the front desk at your school or Vicente Bravo, Chief Administrative Officer, at vbravo@davincischools.org.
We wish to extend a special thanks to the El Segundo Police Department for their collaboration in promoting the safety of our students.
Thank you for your support in ensuring the safety of our schools.
Every year, the Da Vinci Schools work with local first responders to plan, prepare, and practice our responses to emergency situations, including earthquake, fire, and emergency lockdowns. Since moving into the new building we have been working with our Student Resource Officers on these plans. We have an emergency lockdown drill planned for the morning of Tuesday, April 2nd. Staff is trained for how to respond to such an event and prior to this drill, procedures for students will be reviewed with them. During the drill, students will have a chance to practice the proper response if such a crisis were to occur.
During the drill, be advised that the reception desk will be temporary closed to any visitors, parents and/or students arriving during the time of the drill. No one will be allowed to enter or exit the drill. If you have any questions regarding this or the drill, please do not hesitate contact the front office of your child’s school. Thank you for your support in maintaining the safety of our students, staff and schools.
A friendly reminder that we will be hosting an information meeting tonight, March 28th, at 6pm at the 201 campus in the Multi-Purpose Room. Come join us for an information presentation and Q & A time!
Can’t make it in tonight? Zoom into the meeting using the link below!
We look forward to meeting you and answering any questions you have about our program.
At Quarter Zero, it is our mission to power the potential of young people. We offer immersive summer entrepreneurship programs – a 6-week Catapult Incubator and 5-day QØ Startup Camp – that equip students with the skills, mindset, and confidence to thrive.
SCHOLARSHIPS ARE AVAILABLE for both these programs.
For more specific information about these programs see the attached flyer.
Check-in begins at 8:15 A.M., the event begins at 9 A.M.
What: Warrior Smart Start is an opportunity for new students starting Fall 2019 and their families to get an introduction to everything El Camino College has to offer.
Students can attend a resource fair and workshops about preparing for the first semester, joining a support program, transfer strategies, and more. We will also have open labs for students to complete the Level Up assessment survey and apply for financial aid, South Bay Promise, or support programs.
Students can also complete steps to enrollment (orientation, assessment, educational planning) to be eligible for priority registration. Student must have already applied to El Camino College and have a Student ID number to complete these services.
As we begin this week, we wanted to take this time to thank all of you, the parents and guardians, who came out last week to participate in your children’s Student-Led Conferences (SLC). Our students shared their accomplishments and their goals for improvement along with an action plan to reach those goals. These are a very important part of the education of our students which help to ensure a high level of communication between them, the staff and you.
In light of recent events that occurred with some of our neighbors, in particular the Elevon Campus located on Douglas Street north of the Da Vinci schools, we are asking for your cooperation in adding one more goal for all of our students that includes you too: Being good neighbors.
Last week we were again notified by businesses in the area that some of the actions of our students have been anything but neighborly. Unfortunately, this is not something new, as this was addressed back in November 2018.
Several of our students have been ignoring posted signs (see below) and were caught trespassing in areas that are private property at the Elevon Campus, such as the second story which has no stores or locations open to the public. They were disruptive and rude to several of the employees that work there. We are all in agreement that these students do not represent all of the wonderful students we have attending our schools, but the very public actions of these students reflect poorly on us all. This has been a recurrent problem since late last school year, and the business owners have been extremely patient and cooperative, working with us as much as possible to address this matter. However, because of the level of disruption experienced last week, it has now reached a point where Elevon will be addressing future incidents of students trespassing on private property with us AND the El Segundo Police Department. Students are not allowed to loiter at the Elevon Campus and must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at all times.
The message to our students that they need to hear from you is this: Please respect our neighbors in the community and conduct yourselves accordingly; if certain behaviors are inappropriate at home or on campus, those behaviors are also inappropriate off-campus at neighboring businesses.
In addition, Elevon and other surrounding businesses have notified us that some families are still using their parking lots for drop off and pick up of students. As part of the action plan for accomplishing the goal of being a good neighbor, please do NOT use the Elevon Campus or other nearby business parking lots for dropping off or picking up your students and remind them to behave appropriately wherever they may be. This also applies to students using ride-sharing services like Uber and Lyft. These incidents are being reported to us and will be addressed with both you and your students as necessary.
We thank those of our students and families who have been respectful of our neighbors; we expect all our students and families to behave appropriately in our community, as we all represent Da Vinci Schools.
Our next El Camino Day is this Saturday, March 16th. The event is intended for new incoming high school students starting in Fall 2019. Students will have the opportunity to complete orientation, assessment survey, meet with a counselor for an educational plan and learn about support programs.

Compressors are engineered in a variety of types and configurations. The final design selection depends on numerous factors. Gas type and required pressure are significant factors on both compressor and compressor lubricant selection. As temperatures and pressures increase, the stress on the lubricant increases as well.
The choice of a compressor lubricant depends on the type and construction of the compressor, the gas being compressed, the degree of compression and the final outlet temperature. Piston compressors provide the highest gas pressures and are among the most difficult from the standpoint of cylinder lubrication.
Rotary compressors with final pressures below 1 mega Pascal (MPa), approximately 145 psi, are less difficult to lubricate. Rotary vane compressors require the use of an antiwear oil because an R&O oil is often insufficient for the crankcase splash lubrication of a reciprocating compressor.
The selection of the proper compressor and application-dependent lubricant with the appropriate physical-chemical properties is vital to a successful process. ISO 6743 - Part 3A provides a classification procedure for compressor lubricants based on the type of equipment and operating conditions.
The successful development of a compressor lubricant will depend on how well the oil meets these technical requirements.
The solubility of natural gas and other hydrocarbons is much higher in petroleum oils and polyalphaolefin (PAO) synthetics compared to other commonly used synthetic base stocks such as diesters and polyalkylene glycols (PAG). That is expected because both hydrocarbon gas and petroleum-based oils are similar molecules consisting primarily of C-H bonds unlike diesters and PAGs, which are relatively polar.
In fact, in a typical PAG molecule, every third atom in the polymer backbone is an oxygen atom, which makes it quite polar. Therefore, hydrocarbons are less soluble in PAGs. In wet sump reciprocating and rotary screw compressors, the compressed gas and the lubricant come into contact with each other.
Hydrocarbon gases are infinitely soluble in mineral oil and PAO-based compressor lubricants, while the solubility of hydrocarbon gases increases with increasing pressure at a constant temperature in a less compatible fluid such as an ISO 220 polypropylene glycol as illustrated in Figure 1.
Conversely, increasing the temperature at a constant pressure will result in lower gas solubility. Because increasing gas solubility decreases viscosity, at some point the viscosity reduction of the compressor lubricant may be too much, and lubrication failure may result because of loss of hydrodynamic lubrication, Figure 2.
The solubility of various gases in lubricants has been measured and reported. The solubility was measured in a fixed volume apparatus. A known amount of gas and lubricant was allowed to reach equilibrium at a given temperature. Gas solubility was calculated using the gas laws. The lubricant was stirred to facilitate equilibrium. Solubility of methane at pressures up to 5000 psig is compared at 50ºC for three lubricants: PAG, PAO and petroleum oil in Figure 3.
The methane gas solubility in PAG is roughly half that for a PAO and petroleum oil, and that solubility was nearly as high in the PAO as in the petroleum oil. Gas solubility exhibits a significant effect on lubricant viscosity. The greater the solubility of the gas in the oil, the greater the viscosity loss (viscosity dilution). A lubricant viscosity dilution chart is shown in Figure 4 for methane at 50ºC.
Similar gas solubility comparisons for nitrogen and ethylene are provided in Figures 5 and 6.
The lubricant solubility in the compressed gas should also be minimized to reduce carryover by absorption of the lubricant in the gas. Matthews, using a constant pressure flow through a load (gravimetric) cell evaluated the absorption of the lubricant in natural gas. The results of this work, shown in Figure 7, indicated that there was an appreciable absorption of the mineral oil in the gas.
Compared to the PAG, the lubricant showed no appreciable loss.
Table 1 shows a list of testing procedures that are commonly used to evaluate compressor lubricants.
In this article, the basic principles of natural gas composition and its compression have been discussed. An overview of various compressor designs used for natural gas, their lubrication and potential lubricant-related problems have been provided. Finally, various tests that have been reported for use with compressor lubrication have been summarized. This information offers a comprehensive overview of natural gas compressor lubrication and fluid maintenance.

Rheton is no ordinary planet. It can zip in and out of any solar system it needs to in order to protect itself. Naturally, a team of astronauts from earth want to get up there and see what’s happening and before you know it, they’re battling huge monsters and other extra-terrestrial threats. But that’s okay because Rheton comes equipped with lots of gorgeous space women, too – definitely worth fighting for.
THE PHANTOM PLANET is the kind of film that Ed Wood would have made on a bad day. And we can’t think of higher praise!

The scenario of surgeries has greatly transformed over years. The credit goes to emerging technologies and computer-assisted systems in modern surgery that have greatly reduced surgeons’ efforts, but required extensive knowledge of these advance systems. Take an instance of cardiac surgery, one of the complicated surgeries performed on body organs. A cardiac surgeon gets tired and stressed after a heart surgery on a patient. On the other hand, a robotic surgeon remains refreshed after the surgery.
If you distinguish between conventional heart surgery and robotic surgery, you will say that conventional heart surgery is an open-chest surgery, but robotic surgery is a closed chest surgery. This is a difference in layman’s language, but medical science has different perspective to distinguish between the two procedures. A cardiac surgeon like Roberto Casula prefer robotic technology than conventional surgical procedure. Procedure. Robotics is rather easier for a robotic surgeon.
Primary conventional methods of cardiac surgery were superseded by bypass surgery, but robotic surgery bypassed all other surgical techniques. An average cardiac surgeon may think of a conventional procedure because he may not a skill to take a risk of an advance techniques. A robotic surgeon, say Dr. Roberta Casula, won’t think in the same manner because his brain is more focused on robotic technique and his hands are more efficient to operate a robotic arm.
Robotic surgical devices are now routinely used in minimally invasive surgical procedures employed in general surgery, pediatric surgery, urology, gynecology, otorhinolaryngology, and cardiothoracic surgery. The surgical community benefits from robotic surgery, and highly skilled surgeons like Roberta Casula create more experts in this field. More infrastructure for this technology and availability of more skilled medical professionals for this technology have major contribution in emerging use of robotic surgical technology. Today, most surgeons favor to use robotic technology, if availability is not a problem, and patients prefer to use it, if affordability is not a problem for them.

Aisha Chaouche has revealed her spellbinding new single ‘We Will Love’ is lifted from her forthcoming debut album Safe released on the 15th of June. Chaouche’s effortlessly mellifluous vocals veer from soulful to gut-wrenching and everything in between amidst an enveloping backdrop and piano playing, programmed drums, sub-bass, cello, violin and an obsession with reverb and delay. This haunting concoction stops you in your tracks with its lovelorn meditations, reminiscent elements of the confessionals of Cat Power and the intricate sounds of Bjork yet starkly individual, plunging into your past and coming up for air.
Aisha spent her childhood growing up in Swansea before moving to Bristol where she studied at BIMM music college. Signing to Late Night Tales’ sister label Night Time Stories on the strength of a Soundcloud demo, Chaouche’s debut single ‘I’ll Lose My Head’ was released in May 2017. An exquisite exploration of inner worlds and emotions showing vividly showing off Chaouche’s outstanding vocal talent and multi-layered songwriting talent.
Safe chronicles events that occurred in Aisha’s formative years and the catharsis that occurred through her songwriting.
Safe was mixed with now live band member Ben Johnson and features updated versions of her singles released to date. Combining vocals, performance on piano and synthesiser with triggered samples and loops; the trio of Aisha, Greg Stoddard and Ben have translated the subtleties of the album to the live stage. Following a series of one-offs and supports, the group are planning more dates in the near future.
Based on what we’ve heard so far, Chaouche is a formidable talent with the ability to stop you dead in your tracks.

With her universal yet individual style Youn Sun Nah gives traditional vocal jazz a new flavour, while unconventionally and effortlessly exploring new exciting spaces. She is one of the most outstanding representatives of vocal jazz that includes the whole spectrum of contemporary music.
Female singers who manage to stir a whole genre are seldom found. Diana Krall and Norah Jones are such outstanding talents who gave vocal jazz a whole new colour, and Korean singer Youn Sun Nah has been equally phenomenal. In the last few years she has conquered the music world with her albums “Voyage” (2009) and “Same Girl” (2010) released on ACT.
“A miracle“, “a great piece of art“, “enchanting” “a world-class singer” – just some of the overwhelmingly positive responses from the press to these albums. Within two years Nah had received her fourth “Korean Music Award”, the BMW World Jazz Award and the ECHO Jazz Award for best international female singer whilst in France, her second home, “Same Girl” was the best selling jazz album of the year in 2011, Nah received the “Prix Mimi Perrin du Jazz Vocal“ as female vocalist of the year, the leading magazine “Jazzman“ awarded her with “Choc de l'annee 2012” as artist of the year and she was granted the title of nobility “Chevalier de l‘Ordre des Arts et des Lettres” by the culture secretary, putting her in the prominent company of such stars as David Bowie, Dee Dee Bridgewater and Dustin Hoffman.
What is the secret of her remarkable success? Her new album “Lento” gives an explanation by combining Youn Sun Nah’s unique qualities. One of them is the blending of different cultural and musical sources, in a respectful yet unconventional manner. Besides jazz and related styles, she draws on chanson, pop and folk music, and in addition to compositions by herself and her band members, there is the extremely light version of the Korean folk song “Arirang” as well as “Hurt” by the alternative rock band Nine Inch Nails, and Stan Jones’ “Ghost Riders In The Sky”, a classic country song made famous by Johnny Cash.
For the first time Nah also calls upon European classical music: Alexander Skrjabin’s Prelude op. 16 Nr. 4 in E minor with its tempo indication ”Lento” was a source of inspiration for the album’s title, and it also sets up an intimate, atmospheric and harmonious musical world. Youn Sun Nah unfolds her expressive power especially in the peaceful and slow-paced moments – on the fragile chanson “Full Circle”, with heartbreaking grievance on “Lament” or artistic unison singing on “Momento Magico”.
On “Lento” it becomes more apparent that Nah’s voice ties the songs together. It is the precision of her intonation and phrasing, great timing and crystal voice that enable her to turn minimalistic forms into powerful emotions, pure elegance and magic. All this requires extremely subtle and considerate co-musicians, therefore the successful lineup from “Same Girl” was the first choice for “Lento” as well: Nah’s longstanding duet partner Ulf Wakenius on guitar, Lars Danielsson on bass and Xavier Desandre-Navarre on percussions. The fourth member of the band is new - the French accordion magician Vincent Peirani. Two pieces on “Lento” were written by him and, similarly to Youn Sun Nah, his variations and ideas seem to emerge from an inner voice, which is one of the reasons why there is perfect interaction between the two musicians.

‘Parenthesis’ (or the plural ‘parentheses’), also known more informally as ‘brackets’, is the term given to the following punctuation marks: ( ).
Parentheses should always be used in pairs.
Parentheses only enclose non-essential information. That means, the sentence should still make sense if the parenthetical aside were removed.
The etymology of the word ‘parenthesis’ can give us insight into its grammatical purpose. According to the Macquarie Dictionary, the term is a Medieval Latin word, derived from the Greek. It means ‘putting in beside’.
This effectively sums up the role of parentheses; parentheses permit an ‘aside’ or an explanatory interjection within a section of text. Brackets are used in pairs to enclose an explanatory interjection within a sentence. They can also contain whole sentences that function as sidenotes.
You may remember from our earlier article, ‘Use—and Non-use—of Dashes and Hyphens (Part 1 of 2)’, that a pair of em dashes can be used to create an aside in a similar way to parentheses.
You can also watch Dr Lisa Lines' video on how to use brackets correctly on our YouTube channel.
Parentheses are used to create an aside, an explanatory remark or sidenote. In the following example, taken from The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald has used parentheses so his narrator (Nick) can introduce a rumour about Daisy. This rumour is a relevant sidenote to the plot, but doesn’t progress the sequence of events. For this reason, it has been enclosed within parentheses.
Fitzgerald’s use of parentheses provides the reader with insight into the narrator’s perception of the events and characters around him. The intimacy facilitated through the parentheses implicate the reader as Nick’s confidant.
As an aside, Fitzgerald has actually used a semi-colon incorrectly in this paragraph. Please read our article ‘Using Semicolons to Connect Independent Clauses’ to learn why a semicolon should not be used in the parenthetical section of the example above.
In this example, taken from Great Expectations, Charles Dickens encloses an aside that clarifies why Pip does not have any knowledge of what his parents looked like.
You will notice the comma is placed outside of the parentheses. This is because the section within the parentheses is a sidenote linked to the dependent clause ‘and never saw any likeness of either of them’. Therefore, the comma goes at the end of the dependent clause, which is considered to be after the sidenote within the brackets.
Additionally, to use parentheses correctly, the sentence must make complete sense if the parentheses and their contents were removed.
When a whole sentence is contained within parentheses, such as shown in the earlier The Great Gatsby example, the full stop (or period) is also enclosed inside the brackets.
In the following example from Jane Eyre, when an aside is placed within a sentence before a full stop, the full stop is placed outside the brackets.
While talking to you, I have occasionally watched Adèle (I have my own reasons for thinking her a curious study—reasons that I may, nay, that I shall impart to you some day).
Again, the sentence should make complete sense if the parenthetical section were removed.
Parentheses are used in author–date referencing styles such as APA and Harvard for in-text citations, which contain author names, dates of publication and page numbers. To learn more about APA in-text referencing, you can read our article ‘APA Referencing—The Finer Points of In-text Referencing’.

great idea! I keep my larger yardages in a tub but forget what I have and how many yards of each. For my smaller pieces (1yd or less) I fold them into ziploc baggies and put them in a file cabinet. To find what I want, I numbered the baggies, then put a cardboard on the wall with snippets of each material along with a note of which baggie it's in. The cardboard on the wall is a quick way to see the color selections I have for those little projects I have going.
I did something similar many years ago using a notebook. I like the index card idea and I am going to do that this weekend!
I have my fabric on shelves in my sewing room. Pieces are in bins. For the shelved fabrics, I attach a tag with the yardage, width, type - cotton/lycra blend, wool, linen, etc. I use a quilt basting gun to attach the tags at an end. If I don't use the whole piece, I cross off the yardage and note the amount left. Most of my fabrics are wound on bolts though some are folded. I also store differnt types of fabric on each shelf: knits on one shelf, quilting cottons on another, suitings on a third, etc. I also have an MS Access database I use to enter each fabric purchase (I list all the items purchased at one time in one field, not individually); that table has date, amount of purchase, store, and what I purchased. When I make something, I have another table that I enter date, who the project is for, what it is (blouse, skirt & jacket, quilt, etc), pattern used, and fabric(s) used. So far, it's worked well.
I guess I'll be busy for a while, but won't it be worth it!
I organize swatches this way as well. I had tried various notebook methods over the years, but this is the most flexible method of all, I think. It's easy to take the cards out, mix and match, make notes, take a few cards with me to the store, etc. I love pulling out cards and coordinating them for a project as well. So easy!
Lately, I have mostly been buying fabrics online. Wonder why..... This means I can save the pictures. I have a Fabric File stored on my computer with all the saved pictures of fabrics which I have purchased. On the main picture for each fabric, I note the fiber info, source (if the fabric is from a designer or special mill), width & yardage. I do this the minute I place the order because pictures are taken down pretty fast when a fabric sells out. I have had some luck with Googling "cached" images to retrieve old pictures. Within the picture file, the pictures are stored according to fabric type; I have categories such as Wool knits, rayon knits, wool coatings, cottons, linens etc... Because this is a computer file I can reshuffle and reorganize my stash in any way I want to my heart's content.
I also print out a picture page of the fabrics, when I order them. These pages are also noted as to fiber, source, width & yardage; they go into a 3 ring notebook and I paste fabric swatches onto the pictures. This notebook is sorted by the date I purchased the fabrics, with the newest fabrics at the front. Because this is tactile, this is the imagining book. I can spend time looking at it and figuring out what I will do with the fabrics. It helps me get to sleep at night, if I am worried about something.
Finally, my fabrics are stored in large Sterilite bins from Target. This is the type of plastic which does not off-gas. I have labeled the bins with my labeler indicating wool knits, wool boucles, rayon jerseys, ITY knits, embroidered cottons.....let's just say I have an extensive stash. These bins are on shelves in my sewing studio. Within the bins, each fabric is also labeled with all pertinent information on graph paper index cards cut in half.
I moved last year and to sell the house, emptied both my basement and sewing room into a storage unit. It was at this time that I switched over from storing my fabric on shelves and started to use bins. This was the smartest thing I did for our move - (1) because mice got into the storage unit & NONE of my fabrics were damaged - the plastic bins protected the fabric (2) the fabrics were already packed by me and easy to transport (2a)professional movers have their own way of packing things and you are not insured if you do any of the packing - on non-breakables, sometimes organization wins out over letting anyone else do the job (3) the fabrics ended up in the right room (4) the fabrics were already organized and ready to go on shelves. Believe me, this made the move so much easier than it could have been.
If I go shopping for thread or zippers, I just take the swatched page from my Fabric notebook with me.

Tips on Selecting a Reputable Ring Seller.
One thing that people find to be challenging, its buying an engagement ring. A ring is a symbol of something precious, hence extra effort is required when choosing one. Going for a good quality ring is advisable, since it will serve you for many years to come. The only way to get a good ring is through buying it from a reputable seller. Looking for a ring company? The points below can guide.
When searching for an engagement ring, check the kind of relationship you have with the jeweler. A good ring company will be interested in knowing the kind of ring you want and the design you want it in. A good store ensures you leave the place satisfied. If you find a ring seller who is focused on making a seller without putting in your needs, that a red flag.
When choosing a ring company, it is important to check how long the company has been in the industry. It is advisable to go for a ring seller that is established, choose someone who has been in the market for long. An established ring company have a maintenance team, who do checkups on the ring.
Does the store have a good reputation? Go to the internet and search for reviews and customer testimonies. Also, go through the comments on their social media pages and website. A ring company that has built a good reputation of meeting customer needs over the years will always have positive reviews and customer testimonies.
Does the ring store have a variety of rings? Different people have varying taste and preference when it comes to rings, there are people who prefer diamonds rings, others prefer gold, other silver and many more. A reputable ring store should have the rings in different designs, styles and color.
It is important to ask the company if they have an certificate that guarantees the rings are genuine from an independent organization. The certificate will prove the stone is natural, it also describes the color, quality and carats of the rings.
Before dealing with a ring company, ensure the company has a list of their references. To get more information about the ring store, insist on getting the contact details of clients they have worked with in the past. The kind of response you get from the company’s past clients, will help you in making a decision if you should deal with the ring company or look for another alternative.
How much does the company charge for their engagement rings? When buying a ring, your budget will play an important role on the kind of ring you will get. The price of a ring is mainly determined by the quality, size and carats. Choose a ring company that is willing to get you a ring with your budget.

This study introduces a new set of orthogonal polynomials and moments and the set's application in signal and image processing. This polynomial is derived from two well-known orthogonal polynomials: the Tchebichef and Krawtchouk polynomials. This study attempts to present the following: (i) the mathematical and theoretical frameworks for the definition of this polynomial including the modelling of signals with the various analytical properties it contains, as well as, recurrence relations and transform equations that need to be addressed; and (ii) the results of empirical tests that compare the representational capabilities of this polynomial with those of the more traditional Tchebichef and Krawtchouk polynomials using speech and image signals from different databases. This study attempts to demonstrate that the proposed polynomials can be applied in the field of signal and image processing because of the promising properties of this polynomial especially in its localisation and energy compaction capabilities.
System coding is a growing trend in all fields of engineering. Many different algorithms have been developed and studied for applications in signal processing, radar and multi-emission systems, among others. One of the most interesting algorithms, among these, is the complementary sets of sequences (CSS) given their potential and simplicity. They are characterised by a distinctive correlation and orthogonality properties. Nowadays, sustained efforts are being devoted to reducing the calculations involved in the generation and/or correlation of these sequences by means of recursive algorithms. Some authors have brought forward efficient algorithms that are based on modular architectures made up of adders, multipliers and delays. This work introduces an inverse generation approach to perform the correlation of CSS. This approach allows one to substantially reduce calculations, and enables the simultaneous correlation of M sequences, adopting neither time-multiplexing schemes nor complex parallel implementations. This is theoretically demonstrated by means of generation and correlation algorithms. An analysis of the performance and efficiency is then conducted in a reconfigurable hardware platform. The proposal represents an advance in the practical application of these sequences in the above-mentioned fields.
In certain applications involving direction of arrival (DOA) estimation the operator may have a-priori information on some of the DOAs. This information could refer to a target known to be present at a certain position or to a reflection. In this study, the authors investigate a methodology for array processing that exploits the information on the known DOAs for estimating the unknown DOAs as accurately as possible. Algorithms are presented that can efficiently handle the case of both correlated and uncorrelated sources when the receiver is a uniform linear array. The authors find a major improvement in estimator accuracy in feasible scenarios, and they compare the estimator performance to the corresponding theoretical stochastic Cramér–Rao bounds as well as to the performance of other methods capable of exploiting such prior knowledge. In addition, real data from an ultra-sound array is applied to the investigated estimators.
The authors define the probability of receiving correct decisions from all the clusters by the data fusion centre as the reliability of distributed detection in clustered wireless sensor networks and formulate it in two cases of parallel and serial distributed detection. An energy-efficient distributed detection method – called hybrid distributed detection – is also proposed in which distributed detection is performed during hop-by-hop transmission of data from the cluster nodes to the cluster head. It is shown that this method conserves much more energy than previously proposed methods and results in considerable improvement in network reliability.
An appropriate movie abstraction is helpful for movie producers to promote the progress of the storyline as well as for the audiences to capture the theme of the movie before watching the full-length movie. Most existing movie abstraction schemes rely heavily on video content only, which may not deliver ideal results because of the semantic gap between computer calculated low-level audiovisual features and human used high-level perceptual understanding. In this study, the authors incorporate script into movie content understanding and present a new movie abstraction approach via the progress of the storyline, which is the soul of a film that actually catches the audiences' attention. The authors first segment the movie scenes by analysis of the movie script. Then the authors conduct storyline analysis using the attention analysis and audiovisual features. Given the transition intensity values, the authors calculate the storyline progress score and adopt this as the criterion to generate movie abstraction. The promising experimental results demonstrate that the analysis of storyline evolution is an effective approach for the abstraction and understanding of movie content.
This study presents a novel seeker optimisation algorithm (SOA) for the design of linear phase finite impulse response low pass, high pass, band pass and band stop digital filters. A new fitness function has been adopted in order to improve the stop band attenuation, stop band ripple and to have an accurate control on the transition width. A comparison of simulation results reveals the optimisation efficacy of SOA in terms of error fitness value, stop band attenuation and stop band ripple over the prevailing optimisation techniques reported in recent literatures.
Interior noise cancellation for railway train systems is an important means of enhancing passenger comfort and quality of service. This study proposes a novel active noise control (ANC) approach that uses an finite impulse response (IIR) filter and neural network techniques to effectively reduce interior noise. The authors construct a multiple-channel IIR filter module that is a linearly augmented framework with a generic IIR model to generate a primary control signal. A three-layer perceptron neural network is employed for establishing a secondary-path model to represent air channels among noise fields. Since the IIR module and neural network are connected in series, the output of an IIR filter is transferred forward to the neural model to generate a final ANC signal. A gradient descent optimisation-based learning algorithm is analytically derived for the optimal selection of the ANC parameter vectors. Moreover, re-estimation of partial parameter vectors in the ANC system is proposed for online learning. Sufficient stability conditions are derived for the proposed ANC system. Lastly, the authors present the results of a numerical study to test their ANC methodology with realistic interior noise measurement obtained from Korean railway trains.
The jamming robustness of frequency hopping systems with M-ary frequency shift keying (MFSK) modulation may be potentially neutralised by a follower partial-band jammer. To remove these harmful effects, a novel detection scheme for slow frequency hopping/MFSK systems, which use two receive antennas in a quasi-static flat fading channel, is proposed. The relative complex gain factor between the two jamming components is derived and is used to aid the symbol detection process. The improved performance of the new scheme is verified by using simulated bit error rate results.
In this work, a constrained adaptive filtering strategy based on conjugate gradient (CG) and set-membership techniques is presented for adaptive beamforming. A constraint on the magnitude of the array output is imposed to derive an adaptive algorithm that performs data-selective updates when calculating the beamformer's parameters. A linearly constrained minimum variance optimisation problem is consider with the bounded constraint based on this strategy and propose a CG-type algorithm for implementation. The proposed algorithm has data-selective updates, a variable forgetting factor and performs one iteration per update to reduce the computational complexity. The updated parameters construct a space of feasible solutions that enforce the constraints. The authors also introduce two time-varying bounding schemes to measure the quality of the parameters that could be included in the parameter space. A comprehensive complexity and performance analysis between the proposed and existing algorithms are provided. Simulations are performed to show the enhanced convergence and tracking performance of the proposed algorithm as compared with existing techniques.
The handling of overlapping speech in the context of speaker diarisation attracted in recent years the interest of the scientific community, since speaker overlap was identified as one of the factors degrading the performance of conventional diarisation systems. In this study, the authors are discussing the possibility of using long-term prosodic features for the detection of overlapping speech, which is subsequently employed in speaker diarisation to improve the baseline system. The most relevant subset from the set of candidate prosodic features is determined in two steps. First, a ranking according to minimal-redundancy-maximal-relevance criterion is obtained, and then a hill-climbing wrapper strategy is applied for determining the optimal number of prosodic features, which should accompany short-term spectral features for overlap detection. In experiments on the augmented multi-party interaction (AMI) meeting distant-channel data, the authors show that the addition of prosodic features decreased overlap detection error. Detected overlap segments were used in speaker diarisation to recover missed speech by assigning multiple speaker labels and to increase the purity of speaker clusters. Improvements of the baseline diarisation system are reported in both single- and multi-site data conditions. However, the extension of the diarisation system with TDOAs showed its incompatibility with the overlap exclusion technique.
In this study, a robust sample-by-sample linearly constrained constant modulus algorithm (LCCMA) and a robust adaptive block-Shanno constant modulus algorithm (BSCMA) are developed. The well-established quadratic inequality constraint approach is exploited to add robustness to the developed algorithms. The LCCMA algorithm is implemented using a fast steepest descent adaptive algorithm, whereas the BSCMA algorithm is realised using a modified Newton's algorithm without the inverse of Hessian matrix estimation. The developed algorithms are exercised to cancel the multiple access interference in a loaded direct sequence code division multiple access (DS/CDMA) system. Simulations are presented in a rich multipath environment with a severe near-far effect to evaluate the robustness of the proposed DS/CDMA detectors. Finally, a comprehensive comparative analysis between the sample-by-sample and block-adaptive constant modulus-based detectors is presented. It has been demonstrated that the developed robust BSCMA detector offers rapid convergence speed and very low computational complexity, whereas the developed robust LCCMA detector engenders about 5 dB improvement in the output signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio over the BSCMA detector.

NEHEN is a consortium of regional payers and providers who have designed and implemented a secure and innovative health information exchange for reducing administrative costs and improving the quality, safety, and efficiency of patient care. NEHEN technology has changed the way administrative, clinical, exchange, and ePrescribing processes are performed in member organizations.
The primary success factor for NEHEN has been the collaboration between health plans and providers. The members of NEHEN believe that providing EDI (electronic data interchange) capabilities to their exchange partners represents an opportunity to improve administrative and clinical processes for the entire health care community. As a result, all intellectual property created for NEHEN is shared among the members. Also, if a member individually develops a solution that might benefit the group, that solution is donated to NEHEN. Collaboration has enabled the members to share costs, leverage experience gained by other participants, and accelerate the benefits of administrative simplification.
This collaboration is in fact what makes NEHEN different from a typically competitive environment. Its features and benefits are designed to be balanced in their value to payers and providers alike.
NEHEN has reduced our costs while improving service to both patients and providers. One of NEHEN's most important roles is a convening function. The CIOs of major payer and provider organizations meet on neutral ground to solve problems together, reducing costs and sharing intellectual property.

dietary factors: the form and frequency of sugar and acid intake – particularly a high intake of acidic foods & drinks which shifts the environment to suit bad bacteria!
Saliva affords both static protective effects, which act continuously, and dynamic effects, which act during the time-course of a challenge. Salivary buffering and sugar clearance are important dynamic effects of saliva which prevent demineralization (breakdown of teeth). Chewing sugar-free gum is a fantastic way of increasing the amount of saliva in the mouth.
At lower concentrations, fluoride inhibits breakdown of teeth and enhances repair, and this is the major mode of action of fluoride in drinking water and in fluoride-containing toothpastes. The key to prevention is consistent and constant intake of fluoride via drinking tap water, which is topped up morning and night by brushing with a fluoride-containing toothpaste.
Most plaque forms on the central grooves of erupting molars. These areas are notoriously difficult to clean! Where there is bad plaque, decay will often follow. Fissure sealing a tooth will prevent bad plaque from residing in hard-to-clean areas, preventing decay and protecting the surface of the tooth. Through the Child Dental Benefit’s Scheme, eligible children are now able to have fissure sealants covered by Medicare at our clinic!
At Marsfield Dental Care, we are motivated to keep your teeth strong and healthy. We believe prevention is the best cure. If you have any queries, leave a comment below or contact us directly and we’ll try to get back to you as soon as possible!

BHI through working within the community over numerous years identified a service gap. Members of the African and African Caribbean, Dual Heritage communities within Leeds were frequently diagnosed with various cancers at a more progressive stage than other communities.
The reason for this varied, from cultural myths and beliefs, through to a lack of knowledge of symptoms. Our community support had acknowledged the need to work effectively within local communities and the Metropolitan District of Leeds due to being acutely aware of the lack of awareness and accessing of Cancer Support Services that are available for individuals and carers.

On Wednesday all the Google interns were herded onto buses and led to San Francisco to watch a Giants baseball game. We were given free tickets and $20 worth of coupons to spend on beerwhatever we wanted.
Baseball is a sport in which players throw a tiny white ball around and whack at it with sticks and run around. But the majority of the game is spent waiting around. All in all, how fun can a baseball game be?
The coolest part: between the top and bottom of the fifth inning, the Jumbotron showed a message just for us interns. I managed to photograph it, among other things, in my Giants Baseball photo album. As requested by a couple of very fine people back home, I got a picture of myself with a hot dog and beer.

I was reflecting recently about why I decided to transition from HR to engineering.
I have 10+ years experience in human resources, and noticed I never really showed the real me. Not many people know who I am or what I have to say because in HR, I learned to be guarded. To share just enough so that others think they know me, but not so much that I was vulnerable.
Why? Because at some point, I may be at the other end of a table with a severance check in hand and wishing you well in your future endeavors. When I got to the point of being numb to letting people go, I knew something wasn’t right.
I took the Insights Discovery assessment a few years ago, and I remember the instructor looking at my profile and said “Hmm!” in one of those, well that’s interesting sort of sounds. I asked him if he saw something concerning and he noticed that my conscious persona was conflicting with my less conscious persona. He told me that I need to allow the real me, to be me. I’m essentially fighting internally with how bold vs calm I am because my conscious was trying to be assertive but my unconscious was trying to be relaxed.
No wonder I always felt conflicted.
Each new year, I set mantras that will guide me through the next 12 months and help me to stay focused. They aren’t resolutions because we all know those don’t work. A mantra is a statement or slogan repeated frequently.
I found myself asking the questions regularly over the last few years. Was I happy? Did I feel good? Did I enjoy my work?
I had been sitting on the executive team at my company for the past year and in late January, I began an advanced management training program on the path to VP of HR. In the program, there is a lot of work around the health of an organization. I looked at myself as an organization. Did I know what my values were? Did I know my purpose? Did I have clarity around what I wanted?
That summer, I realized I wasn’t happy in my position. I wasn’t enjoying what I was doing every day.
I looked back at my skills. Many years ago, I was posting a job to Craigslist. At the time, Craigslist required you to use HTML if you wanted your post to look anything more than a bunch of words. I remember feeling so excited that I taught myself how to add bullets and paragraphs. Seems small now, but at the time, I was amazed at the control I had.
Fast forward a few years and I asked myself what it was that I always wanted to try. Oddly enough, that was software development. It was the year to be brave after all.
Holy crap! That means Starting over!
Fall had arrived, and I wanted to decide if I was going to continue in my current job while learning software development or leave my job and focus on learning full time. At this point, I had dabbled a bit in engineering through Free Code Camp but it was once a week and not enough to really make a difference.
In November 2017, I signed up for The Tech Academy, and began my studies while working a demanding job full time. I also have a family which meant my days were packed. Most days I was up at 5am and didn’t go to bed until after midnight working a full-time, demanding, high stress job while trying to study 40 hrs a week. For some, this may work. For me, not so much.
So I transitioned out of my company and focused on studying full time.

The Lone Sentinel, like Glom, Gloom, began as a story to entertain Dereske's children. Both fantasy tales were directly inspired by features of the surrounding landscape: Glom, Gloom by a small Scottish forest near the little stone cottage where the family was living, and The Lone Sentinel by the tall steel towers Dereske and her children observed while driving through the Great Plains.
Dereske's debt to Robinson Crusoe is tacitly acknowledged when Erik names his dog Thursday, and the destruction of Maag seems related to that of the witch in The Wizard of Oz. Generally, The Lone Sentinel seems to observe the conventions of the speculative fiction (science fiction) genre and, like many other works of this type, to have been indirectly influenced by twentieth-century anti-utopian writers such as Orwell and Huxley.

Two Fort Kent Elementary School teachers were among the presenters who shared their successes with restorative justice in educational settings during a conference at the University of Maine at Presque Isle on Wednesday, Dec. 12.
PRESQUE ISLE, Maine — Two Fort Kent Elementary School teachers were among the presenters who shared their successes with restorative justice in educational settings during a conference at the University of Maine at Presque Isle on Wednesday, Dec. 12.
The conference was put together by the Aroostook County Action Program’s Restorative Practice program and UMPI’s criminal justice program as a way to bring together criminal justice officials and educators to discuss the potential benefits of restorative justice on Aroostook County schools.
Jessie Pettengill, project director for ACAP’s Restorative Practices, explained that unlike traditional disciplinary measures, restorative justice brings together both the perpetrator of a wrongful act and the victim in order to facilitate conversation between both parties. The goals include helping the perpetrator to understand the negative impact that their actions had on the wronged party and allowing the victim’s voice to be heard.
Restorative Justice often is used when a local judge or corrections officer refers a case to a restorative team in an effort to improve a perpetrator’s behavior, reduce crime, bullying and violence, and repair harm done to individuals.
Student empowerment was a major focus during Crystal Jandreau and Kelly Marquis’ presentation to the crowd of around 100 Aroostook County and statewide educators and criminal justice officials. Jandreau and Marquis are personalized learning facilitators for Fort Kent Elementary School who have helped implement a new program known as R.I.S.E., which stands for Redesigning Innovative Strategies for Empowerment.
The new classroom structure was brought about as part of a larger conversation about regional cooperation among three school administrative units in the St. John Valley — MSAD 27 in the Fort Kent area, MSAD 33 in the Frenchville area and the Madawaska School Department. Four teachers who are known as learning facilitators organize 82 students into small groups called restorative circles throughout the day to work on group projects and also help students achieve personalized educational goals.
One aspect of the circles involves students recognizing each other’s mistakes and offering solutions to restore a positive learning environment. Jandreau and Marquis used an example of what happened when a young student named Johnny was dared to disrupt another group’s activities. During a large group discussion, another student told Johnny how those actions had negatively affected his learning and Johnny was able to learn from his mistake.
In a short video, Johnny told about how he learned more from the restorative circles than from simply being sent to the principal’s office and receiving a punishment.
Jandreau said that the learning facilitators work to further those restorative strategies by ending each day on a positive note. They ask students, for instance,, “What was your X plus 1 today?” meaning one thing that helped them improve on their skills that day or allowed them to help somebody else. Students also note how they can use mistakes to improve their skill sets.

What would it take for you to Empower Your Voice? How would your life change if you did? Would it mean finally taking the steps to follow your life’s path? Would it mean embracing your passion or having the courage to Trust yourself to live the life you love? Would it mean ridding yourself of tired excuses and finally having the confidence to emerge into your greatest Potential?What would it feel like to let go of fear and have the confidence to step into who you want to be? What if you were told it’s possible to spend each day having fun, feeling inspired and living your best life?
A few years back I decided to take a Leap and completely change my life…and let me tell you, there is no one out there who resisted change quite as much as me.
I took that path and dove in wholeheartedly.
I was done with feeling bored, safe and uninspired. The fear of diving into the deep-end outweighed the safety and security that made my life stand still…I needed more.
Facing one of the greatest turning points in my life was the very thing that helped me find my Voice. Confronting what had been holding me back for years – my lack of confidence and belief in myself– opened up my life. I launched into freelance writing, started a new business I love from scratch, launched Creative Workshops and Retreats that allow me to travel to the Greek islands, had my work published in international travel magazines, health and wellness magazines, online publications and wrote for countless private clients. I would never go back to my old life. Writing has been the vehicle and driving force in connecting me with my passion and helped steer me back on track.
Empowering Your Voice is about opening up the floodgates to your life. The minute you do, everything in your entire being is completely re-set. The ripple effect of change this invites flitters into every area of your life – personally, professionally and creatively. Your relationships change, people who no longer serve you begin to drop away, your confidence soars and you create work that is purposeful and makes you feel energised and completely awake.
We take a deep dive and look at what you envision for yourself moving forward and turn the magnifying glass over what’s keeping you stuck and holding you back. I bring my experience as a business owner, creative entrepreneur and facilitator to give you the tools to take the right steps, clear up old attitudes, draw on your creative confidence, find your voice and Live Your Passion.
How to use the creative process to reawaken your inspiration.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Astronomers have for the first time traced gamma rays, the most energetic form of light, to galaxies undergoing a frenzy of star birth. The finding, which has revealed a new class of galactic gamma-ray sources, is not unexpected. But it provides new hints about the origin of many cosmic rays, the high-speed protons and other charged particles of extraordinarily high energies that bombard Earth.
sciencenewsAccording to the prevailing theory, cosmic rays are accelerated to energies of billions to trillions of electron volts by the expanding shock waves generated when massive stars explode as supernovas. (Cosmic rays with even higher energies are thought to be powered by supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies.) Kinks in a galaxy’s magnetic field keep the particles, mainly protons and other charged particles, bouncing back and forth like ping-pong balls between the advancing shock wave and the region just in front of it, revving up the particles to these high energies, the model suggests.
Massive stars live for only a few million years before exploding — an eyeblink in astronomical terms. Galaxies that produce lots of newborn stars therefore have lots of dying stars that explode as supernovas and ought to have an abundance of cosmic rays.
Testing the theory that supernova shock waves generate cosmic rays hasn’t been easy, however, because galactic magnetic fields bend the direction of travel of all charged particles, including cosmic rays, preventing astronomers from tracing any but the highest energy particles — which can escape the magnetic fields — back to their home galaxies.
But when cosmic rays collide with other atomic nuclei in surrounding gas or dust, they produce gamma rays, the most energetic form of light. And unlike charged particles, light can’t be bent by magnetic fields.
mb2veritasA new generation of gamma-ray telescopes, including the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope launched in 2008, and VERITAS, an array of four 12-meter telescopes atop Mount Hopkins in Arizona, has now succeeded in detecting gamma rays from three galaxies undergoing intense waves of starbirth. The finding helps to confirm the connection between supernovas and cosmic rays.
Researchers reported the findings November 2 at the 2009 Fermi Symposium (named for the Fermi Gamma-ray telescope, the main focus of the conference). VERITAS observed gamma rays ranging from 700 billion eV to several trillion eV from the galaxy M82, which is some 12 million light-years from Earth. M82 is classified as a starburst galaxy because within a small, central region it makes stars at a rate 10 times higher than that of the entire Milky Way.
Although M82 is one of the closest starburst galaxies, “it took us two years of all-out observations of M82 to acquire all the necessary data,” said VERITAS researcher Wystan Benbowof the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory in Cambridge, Mass. Starburst galaxies produce a diffuse gamma-ray glow that is about one-millionth the brightness of galaxies that have active, supermassive black holes at their centers — the only type of galaxy from which gamma-ray telescopes had previously recorded emissions.
Finding gamma rays in a starburst galaxy “had been long predicted, but nobody had ever done it before this year,” noted Benbow, whose team also reported the discovery online November 1 in Nature.
The Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, which records lower-energy gamma rays than does VERITAS, also found gammas from M82 and from another starburst galaxy, NGC 253, reported Keith Bechtolof the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory in Menlo Park, Calif. In addition, Fermi recorded a diffuse gamma-ray glow from a region of intense star formation in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a small satellite galaxy of the Milky Way, said Jürgen Knödlseder of the Center for the Study of Space Radiation in Toulouse, France.
The Large Magellanic Cloud is close enough to the Milky Way that Knödlseder and his colleagues could tell that the gamma rays emanated from a region that has highly ionized gas. Such sites are places where massive stars, which produce ionizing radiation, are expected to be common. The finding “implies that massive star-forming regions are the main source of cosmic rays in the Large Magellanic Cloud,” Knödlseder said.
Bechtol noted that the two starburst galaxies, M82 and NGC 253, have a higher rate of supernova production and emit more gamma rays than the Large Magellanic Cloud, another clue that supernovas and cosmic rays are intrinsically linked.
After hearing the news, “I didn’t fall out of my chair but I got a big smile on my face,” says theorist Brian Fields of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, who is not a member of either discovery team. Had Fermi and VERITAS not found gamma-ray emissions from starburst galaxies, he notes, “it would have been back to the drawing board” for understanding the origin of cosmic rays.
Although the discoveries “bolster our confidence that cosmic rays are accelerated by supernova remnants,” they do not clinch the case, said gamma-ray theorist Charles Dermer of the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, D.C., a member of the Fermi collaboration.
The clincher may come, he says, if an ongoing analysis of Fermi data finds that gamma-ray emissions from starburst galaxies peak at an energy of 70 million eV. That corresponds to the energy generated when a subatomic particle called a neutral pion decays into two gamma rays. Because galactic pions can only be generated by cosmic-ray collisions, finding this peak would provide compelling proof for the theory, Dermer said.

TechCrunch put together a poll asking readers which startup they'd most like to work for. It was by no means a scientific study, but it did get a few thousand tech enthusiasts to vote.
"My own," was the most popular choice with 1,245 votes. That makes sense; most people who are interested in startups have entrepreneurial aspirations.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. – Illness does not keep American workers away from the workplace according to a new survey from NSF International. The global public health and safety organization, which has done extensive research on germs in the home, recently commissioned a survey of employed Americans to understand their views on going to work sick. The survey found that one-quarter (26 percent) of American workers always go to work when they are sick and an additional one-third (34 percent) wait until they experience the full effect of their symptoms before deciding to stay home. This highlights the importance of handwashing and other prevention strategies to avoid getting sick this cold and flu season.
Four in 10 (42 percent) of American workers say they come to work sick because they have deadlines or would have too much work to make up when they return to the workplace after a sick day. Nearly as many (37 percent) say they can’t afford to be sick and miss work. One-quarter (25 percent) of American workers claim that they go to work when they are sick because their boss expects them to come to work no matter what. Another interesting finding was that men (33 percent) are nearly twice as likely as women (17 percent) to go to work when sick.
Nearly all American workers (94 percent) take some form of precaution when coming in contact with a sick co-worker. From washing their hands (87 percent) to using hand sanitizer (68 percent) or making an effort to avoid sitting or standing near a sick co-worker (54 percent), working Americans seem to be careful to avoid close contact with germs. Others disinfect their workspace when a sick co-worker leaves their space (44 percent), take a vitamin or supplement (39 percent) or avoid eating in or using common areas like break rooms, kitchens and cafeterias (32 percent).
While some might consider it a personal decision to power through an illness and go to work, the survey found that a majority of Americans (90 percent) indeed judge their co-workers when they come to work sick; however, their feelings aren’t always negative.
When asked how workers feel about their co-workers coming to work sick, two-thirds (67 percent) of respondents consider their sick co-workers to be hard workers. Additionally, 57 percent responded that they believe sick colleagues can’t afford to miss work. Only 16 percent of workers felt that colleagues who came to work sick were selfish and didn’t care about the well-being of their co-workers, and 13 percent believed co-workers come to work sick because they don’t trust their colleagues to do the job while they are out.
Most Americans are very transparent and honest regarding their feelings on sick colleagues. A majority of Americans (57 percent) would tell a sick co-worker to go home if they thought he/she was too sick to be at work. Additionally, Americans would not hesitate to ask their ill colleagues to refrain from entering their workspace (26 percent) or using their work supplies like staplers, computer, etc. (24 percent).

Her Royal Highness Princess Ingrid Alexandra of Norway is celebrating her 14th birthday today, and in celebration, the Royal Court of Norway released two new pictures of the teenage princess late last evening.
The images were taken by her proud father, Crown Prince Haakon outside their home at the Skaugum estate this month. The Princess is pictured in deep snow in one image and climbing a tree in another.
Celebrations for the future Queen of Norway’s birthday are, naturally, private. It is expected that she will celebrate with family at their family home.
Ingrid Alexandra is the older child of Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit. She has a younger brother, His Highness Prince Sverre Magnus (b. 2005), and an older brother, Marius Borg Høiby (b. 1997), from her mother’s previous relationship.
Her Royal Highness appears alongside her parents for National Day and other events. In the autumn of last year, she unveiled new sculptures at the Princess Ingrid Alexandra Sculpture Park alongside her mother and grandmother, Queen Sonja. The park, located in the gardens of the Royal Palace in Oslo, was initially opened in May 2016 by Her Royal Highness. She was accompanied on this occasion by her grandfather, King Harald, grandmother, parents, younger brother and great-aunt, Princess Astrid.
Second in line to the throne Ingrid Alexandra was born on 21 January 2004 in Oslo at the Rikshospitalet. She was christened in the Palace Chapel of the Royal Palace in Oslo on 17 April with King Harald, Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark, Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden, King Felipe of Spain (then Prince of Asturias), Princess Märtha Louise and Marit Tjessem. The Princess, who enjoys music and playing the piano, began her schooling in 2006. In 2010, Ingrid Alexandra entered Jansløkka Primary School in Asker, but in 2014, she was transferred to the Oslo International School at Bekkestua – a private English language school – as her parents reportedly wanted to ensure she was fluent in English.
The Princess will be Norway’s second female monarch, after the 15th-century Queen Margaret once she ascends the throne. As a descendant of Princess Maud of Wales, daughter of King Edward VII, she is also in line for the British throne; however, she is preceded by her brother in the British line of succession.

It is important that dog training includes teaching your dog that you are the head of the household. For you to have a healthy relationship with your dog, he needs to realize you are in charge. If he is a little out of touch with this idea, you will need some good advice about correcting this problem.
There is a difference between being disobedient and not understanding a command. If your dog is being disobedient, it means he does understand what you want him to do, but is not obeying you. If he doesn’t understand you, it is a matter of spending time training him until he does. Maybe you have asked him to do something before and he has done it, but now is disregarding your request—this is being defiant!
This may seem trivial but it can be quite serious, especially if he runs into traffic and pays no attention to you. Your relationship will also suffer as a consequence. If you don’t do something about this dog problem, it will only worsen. He is not respecting you by taking no notice of what you are telling him.
Go out of the house and car ahead of your dog: This is alpha behavior and, to a dog, the alpha always goes out first. Order him to “wait” while you leave the car or the house first. Then let him follow by your command. If he is allowed to leave first he will think that he is stronger than you are and he makes the decisions.
Control his meal times: Have your meals first and try to vary his feeding schedule. When you put his bowl down, tell him to wait and sit until you tell him it’s okay to eat. This will show him you are in charge.
Restrict his access: Limit his right to use all areas of your house. Let him know that some rooms and furniture are not for his use. He needs to know that it is a privilege to enter where he is allowed. Letting him stay inside awhile and then letting him outside for a short time enforces your authority.
Be the one to start playing: Never let your dog provoke you into playing with him. You should be the one to start it. To get attention or if he wants to play, he may nudge you. If you start playing after this, he will think he is the boss. Ignore him at this point, wait until he gives up, and then you initiate the play. Playing is a great way to bond with your dog, but it has to be on your terms.
Ignore him when you first get home: Upon your arrival back home, refrain from giving him your affection for a few minutes. This may be hard at first, because it is probably a natural reaction for you to greet him when you get home. By holding off a little, this will emphasized your authority.
To get you started in the right direction when it comes to understanding your dog. You may like to read 5 Dog Training Myths. It is a free report which may change your ideas about commonly misunderstood concepts about dogs.
You will get a great deal more information by checking out Secrets to Dog Training, written by a professional dog trainer. It covers all subjects that you, as a responsible dog owner, should know.

Some might find it humorous to entertain the thought of yard work and gardening in February when their snowblowers are still blasting out from the grip of winter. But here in California we’ve got folks testing their sprinkler systems, flowers blooming and leaves budding.
I’m sure the warehouse stores like Costco are now stacking pallets to the ceiling with millions of gallons of Roundup in anticipation, hence the urgency for me to compose this post.
Believe it or not, Roundup is poisonous to you, your children, your children’s children and everything in the environment including bees, birds, amphibians and domestic live stock.
That’s because Roundup’s active ingredient glyphosate has been proven by scientists around the world to be a toxic contributor to a broad range of health issues such as gastrointestinal disease, obesity, diabetes, heart disease, depression, infertility, Alzheimer’s disease, cancer, birth defects, neurological disorders, e.g. autism and behavioral dysfunction, e.g. hyperaggresion.
But let’s see if we can shed a little light for other’s in the dark so that they might be able to see. Let’s understand why GMO’s are even in the food supply in the first place.
Starting in the 1950’s and up through the 1970’s scientists were successfully experimenting with gene-splicing and altering genetic codes of all manner of species. But everything changed when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Diamond vs. Chakrabarty that GMO’s could be patented. That is when biotech became Godzilla.
In 1992 the Bush administration duped America into believing GMO’s were a feasible endeavor for feeding the poor and starving nations while simultaneously easing costs to the consumer.
Unfortunately, the opposite has been the case especially when you consider the environmental damage, the long-term health affects and the medical costs associated with them.
Monsanto, called the most evil corporation in the world is number one in the biotech/GMO industry and also the producer of Roundup.
It’s easy to comprehend the basic premise of their business strategy: produce GMO foods that will resist the Roundup chemicals that are sprayed to kill weeds and plant-eating pests, corner the market on food production and make an unbelievable amount of money doing it.
Check out this documentary and dig even deeper into this man-made crisis of biblical proportions.
The claim is that the technology is perfectly safe. Remember when more doctors smoked Camels than any other cigarette? They once claimed that was safe too.
So I urge everyone to spread the word: STOP SPRAYING ROUNDUP! And boycott GMO’s when at all possible. A healthier and nutritious alternative is locally grown, organic food. Take a trip and visit your local farmer’s market. Check the i-net for a co-op food bank near you.
Knowledge is power so arm yourself with these documentaries. There is no time to waste; history will tell whether or not it may already be too late. We are on the brink of an ecological Armageddon and the evidence is clear that it’s by design. But I’ll save that for another post.

Maura Healey: Called ‘star power’ candidateAt first blush, the odds appeared stacked against attorney general candidate Maura Healey, especially in Dorchester. She was a political newcomer, running her first campaign against a well-known fellow Democrat, Warren Tolman, whose backers included Gov. Deval Patrick, Mayor Martin Walsh, state Sen. Linda Dorcena Forry, and his older brother, union head Steven Tolman.
All of which didn’t matter much when voters made their endorsements on primary day. Citywide, the former assistant attorney general beat Tolman by ten points, 55 percent to 45 percent, thanks in part to strong support in Charlestown, Jamaica Plain, and Roslindale. Statewide, her margin was much greater, 62.4 percent to 37.6 percent.
In Dorchester, she was edged by Tolman in a majority of the precincts, but in the neighborhood where many believed the well-connected former state lawmaker could count on a sturdy base of support, his win was anything but a landslide.
Political observers suggest that the results in Dorchester reflected not so much Tolman’s failure to organize but rather Healey’s success as a candidate, with some venturing to say that she is cut from the same cloth as Patrick and Elizabeth Warren, who were also relative newcomers in their successful runs for office.
In Ward 13, which includes Mayor Marty Walsh’s home precinct, 13-10, Healey won five of the ten precincts and tied one. Tolman edged Healey in 13-10, earning 266 votes to Healey’s 181.
Paul Nutting was the only Healey volunteer distributing fliers outside the mayor’s polling location, which saw a relatively high turnout of 495 voters, or 30 percent, compared to the citywide average of 16.7 percent. Nutting, a Savin Hill resident and veteran Democratic activist, joined up with the campaign after DotOUT endorsed Healey, who is gay, in late August. Still, he said, he didn’t do much other than stand out at the polling location.
Tolman bested Healey in every Ward 16 precinct, which saw turnout in the 30 percent range, among the highest in the city. All 12 precincts’ margins were within 20 percentage points, with 6 of the 12 within 10 percent.
The candidates had few significant policy differences, suggesting to some observers that it was their backgrounds that influenced voters. The largely unknown Healey, a former pro basketball player and decorated civil rights advocate who worked to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act, against the well-connected insider Tolman, who had served stints in the House and Senate in the ‘90s.
After making it through the February caucuses, Healey’s camp aggressively pursued delegates ahead of the June convention, conducting phonathons in the Sullivan Square campaign headquarters with 45 volunteers and the candidate herself.
“As long as they believed she had a chance to win, that she wasn’t a flash in the pan, people were convinced. Over time, that got easier and easier,” Firestone said.
Pressley’s support may have lent more help than many people recognize. “I don’t know who all Healey had working for her in Dorchester, but having the highest vote getter in the city [in the 2013 City Council race] and a woman of color in Ayanna Pressley was major for her success,” Ferriabough-Bolling said.
For all that has gone on, Healey still has a general election on her hands against the relatively unknown Republican challenger John B. Miller. The prospects are that this “star-power candidate” will be back in the attorney general’s office in the new year, and in charge.
