How to duplicate EazyBi instance to UAT/Staging instance (migration procedure)
Hi,
I need to refresh staging jira + addons (eazybi etc) with the production.
I checked the migration procedure here https://docs.eazybi.com/eazybijira/set-up-and-administer/set-up-and-administer-for-jira-server/database-migration and wanted to be sure :
• Staging/UAT addon will only duplicate production data to its own staging db ? It will not remain / stay connected to Prod instance ?
• No data will be deleted from Prod ?
Thank you.
Regards.
Hi,
The important thing to care about when cloning Jira instances is to check if the Staging environment does not point to the same eazyBI database as production instance. This configuration should be different in both environments:
Once this is checked, we do recommend using the database migrator for creating the copy of your eazyBI accounts from production environment. Note, however, that migrator does not allow migrate accounts with the names you already have in your instance, you may need to delete (or rename) them before doing the migration again from your production.
No data will be deleted from the source system when the data migrator is applied.
Kindly,
Hi @janis.plume,
thank you for your reply.
As we did not have much time to do this, we actually did try to follow the data migrator procedure but unfortunately we were unable to connect from staging to prod (almost sure we used the right port/db/user/names etc with the correct port opened …)
So we dumped all eazybi dbs + dbconfig.xml and restored them to staging, then logged into the refreshed eazybi with credentials from the prod dbconfig.xml
Regards.
Sylvain
I also ran into an issue when trying to use the mirgration tool. I am not sure what it means or where to check in the logs and how to resolve. I am trying to copy from prod to test environment!
as well.
Hi,
This error message often is related to the wrong login credentials provided in the datebase connection parameters. Unfortunately, some combinations of the PostgreSQL driver and eazyBI versions make some error messages less informative than those could be.
So in the case of the message:
org.herodbsql.util.PSQLException: Something unusual has occurred to cause the driver to fail. Please report this exception.
please, check the username and password of the user and if the user has access to the database. The message of access problem should be correctly visible in the eazyBI version 5.2.x.
If the problem persists, please, contact the eazyBI support for further investigation.
Kindly,
Janis, eazyBI support | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

mAb compounding and reduction of spillage
The availability of automated methods for the compounding of monoclonal antibodies provides the opportunity to reduce valuable spillage and to reproducibly compound a high-quality pharmaceutical product

A growing number of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are available on the market and many more are expected to follow.(1) mAbs are proteins and are available as a liquid or lyophilised formulation. mAbs need to be compounded in order to be administrated intravenously. Compounding of intravenous (IV) patient doses involves the process of dissolving a drug for administration to a patient and/or diluting or mixing the drug with an infusion solution used as a vehicle for the purpose of administration.
Bevacizumab, infliximab, trastuzumab and rituximab are widely used mAbs. The dose is calculated based on the indication and patient characteristics, such as body weight or surface area. From a compounding perspective, the consequence of these individual patient doses is the introduction of remainders. As an example, a patient dose of 450mg infliximab (= 45ml of 10mg/ml) will introduce a remainder of 50mg (= 5ml) because the standard vial size is 100mg. For each mAb, the amount of remainder after compounding a patient dose depends on the sizes of vials that are available.
Trastuzumab and infliximab are available in only one vial size (in Europe), whereas bevacizumab and rituximab come in two sizes. Regardless of the currently available vials, valuable remainders are wasted daily.
In practice, hospitals have made several efforts to reduce spillage.
Methods used most frequently are: (i) clustering of patients on one or more days; and (ii), dose banding. Clustering of patients for treatment on one day instead of every (working) day results in wasting one remainder a week instead of five. This strategy, however, compromises patient service, given that patients can only be administered their drug on the designated day(s) of the week. Furthermore, the process of manual compounding using remainders from a previous patient the same day, introduces a risk of mix-ups, because there is no compliance to the principle of line clearance within the laminar air flow (LAF) cabinet.
Nevertheless, the financial consequences of not clustering patients might outweigh the risk of a mix-up. However, there are also hospitals that do comply completely with the principal of line clearance, which means that they do not use remainders of one patient for the next one on the same day when other drugs are compounded in the same LAF cabinet in between. Dose banding means that a dose is rounded up or down to prevent introduction of remainders. Dose banding can, however, lead to >10% deviation from the dose that should have been administered according to the registered dose.
Spillage of remainders of mAbs represents a significant cost. We compound approximately 3000 mAb patient doses per year in our hospital, of which >50% include trastuzumab, infliximab and bevacizumab. Theoretically, this means that at the end of each working day, 50% of the smallest vial size available of each mAb is wasted on average. In our hospital, we monitored the waste of remainders for a few weeks and found wastage equivalent to costs of approximately €2800 per week (trastuzumab, infliximab and bevacizumab only).
Compounding robots
Traditionally, manual compounding of drugs for IV administration is an activity carried out by pharmacy technicians and nurses. Recently, partially and fully automated robots have come to the market as safe, efficient, and cost-effective alternatives for manual compounding of drugs for IV administration. In addition, these innovations have introduced the possibility to re-use remainders by means of a proper track-and-trace system. The i.v.STATION® (Health Robotics SRL, Bolzano, Italy) is a compounding robot (GMP grade A) that includes this system and allows us to: store and reuse partially used vials during a full working day without a risk of mix-ups and unload a partially used vial at the end of the day.
All unloaded vials are labelled with a barcode that holds the information about when the drug was reconstituted/first punctured, how much was used, how much is left and the expiration date for the vial. The robot will refuse the vial if the expiration date has passed. The time to expiration of a mAb depends on microbiological and chemical stability. Extensive microbial validation confirmed sterility for at least seven days after first puncture of a vial in the robot.
The chemical stability of reconstituted infliximab and trastuzumab has also been shown to be at least seven days, which allows unloading and reloading within a week.(2,3) Stable liquid formulations are chemically stable by definition.
So far, the performance of automated solutions for compounding is valued predominantly for its timesaving capacity. Rapid procedures, however, might harm delicate substances such as mAbs, and may therefore be inappropriate. Specific instructions for compounding are provided in many of the Summaries of Product Characteristics for mAbs. They state that gentle swirling is required to aid reconstitution (in case of lyophilised powder) and drawing into a syringe should be performed slowly after settling for the instructed amount of time.(4,5) Foaming and formation of protein aggregates may occur if the reconstitution procedure is not performed accordingly.(6) Aggregates have been associated with immune reactions.(7) Moreover, foaming might hamper drawing correct volumes into a syringe.
Our study
We performed a study to assess whether a fully automated robotic procedure can achieve similar quality compared with manual compounding of mAbs.(8) Three commonly used MAbs were studied: bevacizumab, infliximab and trastuzumab.
In brief, we first developed a swirling protocol using a small stand-alone robotic arm able to make exactly the same movements in 3D space as the robotic arm installed in the i.v.STATION®. The swirling protocol was developed to resemble the manual swirling procedure instructed most in the SPC. In addition, the protocol was tested to completely dissolve the lyophilised mAbs (infliximab and trastuzumab), assessed by visual inspection. Second, the lyophilised MAbs were reconstituted using three different procedures: (i) manual reconstitution according to the SPC; (ii) robotic reconstitution using the swirling protocol; and (iii), a vigorous swirling method (worst case scenario). The aggregation state for all samples was assessed using five different techniques able to detect small differences in aggregation state of protein formulations.
The samples that were reconstituted using procedure III showed clear changes in aggregation state for both infliximab and trastuzumab. No aggregation was detected by any of the analytical methods for the vials reconstituted by the manual solubilisation procedures according to the SPC and the automated method by the robotic system. These results confirmed that the i.v.STATION® robot can compound mAbs in the correct way without introducing any risk of protein aggregation.
Conclusions
Automated methods may provide a solution for mAbs that have not been marketed because of formulation problems. When a mAb enters the market, many challenges have been overcome to obtain a robust formulation with low aggregation propensity.(9) Little attention is paid to aggregation properties during the discovery phase for a mAb. Once the sequence of a mAb is fixed, it enters the development phase. mAbs often have high aggregation properties, thereby introducing a major challenge in the design of a stable formulation, and at high costs. Efforts are made to predict aggregation properties and to direct selection of mAbs during early development by means of a developability index(10) highlighting the significance of aggregation problems often faced in the formulation stage.
Factors that can influence aggregation state in the formulation stage include additives (design), pH, shear stress, interaction with package material such as glass and rubber stopper (manufacturing), temperature, shelf life (storage), and inappropriate compounding at the site of administration. We have shown that a compounding robot can be programmed to perform complex procedures (for example, the right angle to add the water onto the lyophilised cake, the right drawing and swirling speed, and settling time) for each individual mAb product and provide a solution for mAbs requiring very specific handling during compounding.
Key points
• Many monoclonal mAbs are dosed based on patient characteristics. Consequently, valuable remainders are often wasted.
• Partially and fully automated robots have come to the market as an alternative for manual compounding. Safely reusing valuable remainders is possible by means of a proper track-and-trace system, thereby reducing spillage.
• Specific instructions on for compounding are provided in many of the Summaries of Product Characteristics of mAbs.
• Timesaving automated procedures may harm delicate substances such as mAbs. We showed that a fully automated robot is capable of compounding high-quality intravenous mAb patient doses.
• Aggregation properties of mAbs may hamper market access due to formulation problems. Automated methods for compounding can provide control of parameters that are known to introduce aggregation when compounding (for example, shear stress, resting time, contact with rubber stopper).

OvmfPkg - Platform CI
This ReadMe.md describes the Azure DevOps based Platform CI for OvmfPkg and how to use the same Pytools based build infrastructure locally.
Supported Configuration Details
This solution for building and running OvmfPkg has only been validated with Windows 10 with VS2019 and Ubuntu 18.04 with GCC5 toolchain. Four different firmware builds are supported and are described below.
Configuration name Architectures DSC File Additional Flags
IA32 IA32 OvmfPkgIa32.dsc None
X64 X64 OvmfPkgIa64.dsc None
IA32 X64 PEI-IA32 DXE-X64 OvmfPkgIa32X64.dsc None
IA32 X64 Full PEI-IA32 DXE-X64 OvmfPkgIa32X64.dsc SECURE_BOOT_ENABLE=1 SMM_REQUIRE=1 TPM_ENABLE=1 TPM_CONFIG_ENABLE=1 NETWORK_TLS_ENABLE=1 NETWORK_IP6_ENABLE=1 NETWORK_HTTP_BOOT_ENABLE=1
EDK2 Developer environment
Note: edksetup, Submodule initialization and manual installation of NASM, iASL, or the required cross-compiler toolchains are not required, this is handled by the Pytools build system.
Building with Pytools for OvmfPkg
1. [Optional] Create a Python Virtual Environment - generally once per workspace
python -m venv <name of virtual environment>
2. [Optional] Activate Virtual Environment - each time new shell opened
• Linux
source <name of virtual environment>/bin/activate
• Windows
<name of virtual environment>/Scripts/activate.bat
3. Install Pytools - generally once per virtual env or whenever pip-requirements.txt changes
pip install --upgrade -r pip-requirements.txt
4. Initialize & Update Submodules - only when submodules updated
stuart_setup -c OvmfPkg/PlatformCI/PlatformBuild.py TOOL_CHAIN_TAG=<TOOL_CHAIN_TAG> -a <TARGET_ARCH>
5. Initialize & Update Dependencies - only as needed when ext_deps change
stuart_update -c OvmfPkg/PlatformCI/PlatformBuild.py TOOL_CHAIN_TAG=<TOOL_CHAIN_TAG> -a <TARGET_ARCH>
6. Compile the basetools if necessary - only when basetools C source files change
python BaseTools/Edk2ToolsBuild.py -t <ToolChainTag>
7. Compile Firmware
• To build IA32
stuart_build -c OvmfPkg/PlatformCI/PlatformBuild.py -a IA32 TOOL_CHAIN_TAG=<TOOL_CHAIN_TAG>
• To build X64
stuart_build -c OvmfPkg/PlatformCI/PlatformBuild.py -a X64 TOOL_CHAIN_TAG=<TOOL_CHAIN_TAG>
• To build IA32 X64
stuart_build -c OvmfPkg/PlatformCI/PlatformBuild.py -a IA32,X64 TOOL_CHAIN_TAG=<TOOL_CHAIN_TAG>
• use stuart_build -c OvmfPkg/PlatformCI/PlatformBuild.py -h option to see additional options like --clean
8. Running Emulator
• You can add --FlashRom to the end of your build command and the emulator will run after the build is complete.
• or use the --FlashOnly feature to just run the emulator.
stuart_build -c OvmfPkg/PlatformCI/PlatformBuild.py TOOL_CHAIN_TAG=<TOOL_CHAIN_TAG> -a <TARGET_ARCH> --FlashOnly
Notes
1. Configuring ACTIVE_PLATFORM and TARGET_ARCH in Conf/target.txt is not required. This environment is set by PlatformBuild.py based upon the [-a <TARGET_ARCH>] parameter.
2. QEMU must be on your path. On Windows this is a manual process and not part of the QEMU installer.
NOTE: Logging the execution output will be in the normal stuart log as well as to your console.
Custom Build Options
MAKE_STARTUP_NSH=TRUE will output a startup.nsh file to the location mapped as fs0. This is used in CI in combination with the --FlashOnly feature to run QEMU to the UEFI shell and then execute the contents of startup.nsh.
QEMU_HEADLESS=TRUE Since CI servers run headless QEMU must be told to run with no display otherwise an error occurs. Locally you don't need to set this.
Passing Build Defines
To pass build defines through stuart_build, prepend BLD_*_ to the define name and pass it on the command-line. stuart_build currently requires values to be assigned, so add an=1 suffix for bare defines. For example, to enable the TPM2 support, instead of the traditional "-D E1000_ENABLE", the stuart_build command-line would be:
stuart_build -c OvmfPkg/PlatformCI/PlatformBuild.py BLD_*_E1000_ENABLE=1

Salome the Heresiarchess
Salome appears briefly in Mark, which is believed to be the earliest Gospel. Then her name is not even mentioned in Matthew, Luke, or John. Later, in the apocryphal literature, she is represented sometimes as Jesus' most faithful disciple or the woman who tried to tempt him. She must have been a prominent heresiarch, a major heretic and the leader of a heretical sect, which is why Matthew, Luke and John suppress her name. Saint or Heretic? Great Leader or Temptress? Or All of the Above? Next: The Salome Code.Das Baz 15:31, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
Distinct Salome
I am wondering if anyone has sources that identify that this Salome and Salome, daughter of Herodias are different people. I am not disputing this fact, I just think that that information should be properly sourced and integrated into the article, rather than simply given a passing mention in the redirect.
--trlkly 06:40, 16 April 2007 (UTC).
* Salome the disciple at the foot of the cross of Jesus was a grown woman, the mother (perhaps) of James and John, grown men and followers of Jesus. The daughter of Herod was a young girl at the time of Jesus' ministry. It is unlikely that James and John were both grandsons of Herod and disciples of Jesus. There is no reason to suppose that the woman is the same as the girl. Rwflammang 03:04, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
In fact, we can not even be sure that the names were the same, since "Salome" can be either Shulamith or Shlomzion. Das Baz, aka Erudil 19:55, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

More on the equation between Salome and the Mother of the Sons of Zebedee
I do not think it is appropriate to state that Salome is the same as the mother of the sons of Zebedee as an objective fact (as was done on the article before). I instead wrote "She might be the same person as the wife of Zebedee" to make it clear that there is some dispute about this identification. On that note, I wonder if it would be appropriate to add another section to the article discussing the case for and against the link between Salome and the wife of Zebedee.

Bad language comparison?
Not a language expert, but even I know that the Arabic "Salome" is cognate to Hebrew "Shalom". Either Salome's name is from Hebrew "Shalom" (and that would be highly relevant), or the mention of the Arabic and Aramaic is irrelevant and inaccurate. I'm not qualified to assess which. --2602:30A:2EA0:D9F0:F145:1DBC:D2FC:F6BD (talk) 18:11, 30 April 2014 (UTC)

Dmitri Tarasov (footballer)
Dmitri Alekseyevich Tarasov (Дмитрий Алексеевич Тарасов; born 18 March 1987) is a Russian former footballer who played as a central midfielder or defensive midfielder.
Club
Tarasov began his career at FC Spartak Moscow, then joined FC Tom Tomsk. On 2 February 2009, FC Moscow signed the attacking midfielder on a free transfer. On 28 December 2009, Lokomotiv announced his signing. During Lokomotiv period of his career, Tarasov established himself as holding midfielder. His authority as a starting XI player was confirmed during winter mid-season 2012-13 when he was named vice-captain. On 20 April 2013, Tarasov took captain's armband for the first time in away game versus FC Kuban Krasnodar (0-0). Later Tarasov won monthly polls among Loko fans in the social networks for best player of the month in April 2013 and September 2013.
On 30 June 2019, he left Lokomotiv after his contract expired.
On 18 February 2020, he signed with Rubin Kazan until the end of the 2019–20 season. On 21 February 2020 he broke his calf bone in a training session and wasn't expected to be able to play for Rubin for the duration of the contract. However, 2019–20 Russian Premier League season was extended due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Russia and Tarasov recovered and made his debut for Rubin on 5 July 2020 in a game against FC Orenburg. On 28 July 2020, he extended his Rubin contract until the end of 2020. On 17 December 2020 Rubin announced he will leave the club when his contract expires.
He started the 2021–22 season with Russian Football National League club FC Veles Moscow. On 19 October 2021, he left Veles and paused his professional career to spend more life with his family.
Celebrity
After his injury, he decides to join (Media Team) NaSporte(OnSport), OnSporte plays in Moscow Celebrity League, just Celebrity League, and friendly matches with other (Media Teams), The rules are really strict every single player has to be a celebrity, character, or make videos on YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and other Social Media platforms. On Sport is a new team to all of the Media Leagues and already earned a bad reputation, but he won't switch teams because of the money the teams are paying him.
International
Tarasov was a member of the Russian Under 21 national team. In October 2009, he was called up to the Russia national football team for the 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Azerbaijan. He was called up again by Fabio Capello to the national team for the 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Portugal and against Azerbaijan in October 2012. He made his debut for the national team on 15 November 2013 in a friendly game against Serbia. He scored his first national team goal on 19 November 2013 in a friendly against South Korea.
International
Statistics accurate as of match played 26 March 2016

Honours
* Lokomotiv Moscow
* Russian Premier League: 2017–18
* Russian Cup: 2014–15, 2016–17, 2018–19
Controversy
Tarasov caused controversy when he removed his shirt to reveal a vest displaying a picture of Vladimir Putin with the words "the most polite president", during an already politically charged match between Turkish opponents Fenerbahce in their 2-0 Europa League defeat on Tuesday 16 February 2016. It was anticipated that an official judging on the stunt would turn up in one month time. UEFA chose to fine him €5000.
Personal life
Tarasov has a daughter from his first wife, Russian gymnast Oksana Ponomarenko. Tarasov was then married to Russian TV personality Olga Buzova from June 2012 til December 2016. In January 2018, Tarasov married Russian model Anastasia Tarasova (née Kostenko) and they have 2 daughters and 2 sons together. | WIKI |
Seizure Observations in Adult CDD Mice and Motor Coordination of CDG
Students
COL 2021
College
Faculty
Associate Professor of Genetics
Project Summary
This summer I worked on two seizure projects with Dr. Edmondson at the Zhou lab. The first was around CDKL5 Deficiency Disorder, which among other symptoms causes infantile seizures in human patients. Very little is known about this X-linked genetic disorder even though it affects every aspect of a person’s life, from basic movement to communication. Other labs have worked with mice given the same genetic abnormality that was seen in human patients but had not found any seizures. The expectation had been that mice would develop epilepsy early in life like human patients had. However, the Zhou lab found that these mice do have seizures, just later in life (at around four months on average). The lab also noticed that the mice having seizures were all female and with one copy of the abnormal gene rather than two. This finding was surprising because in humans male patients show more severe symptoms. Some of the aging female breeder mice were then put into monitoring chambers for as long as five days at a time where their behavior was recorded. I watched many of these videos and documented seizures and pertinent events in nine mice. Something I noticed which was later confirmed by another lab as likely seizure activity was that the mice would often fall onto their side while they were sleeping. The Zhou lab has since recorded videos with EEG readings of the left and right cortices so that we can confirm that the events seen in the videos are abnormal. I have watched several of these videos as well but have not found any generalized seizures caught on camera.
The second project was on Congenital Disorders of Glycosylation which is a group of disorders caused by abnormalities in any of over 130 genes. Patients are usually short in stature, have intellectual disabilities, and develop epilepsy. The mouse model the Zhou lab works with mimics many of these symptoms. Human patients also present with ataxia and delayed motor coordination. I observed young mouse pups, looking for growth and movement abnormalities. From days 5 to 13, I weighed the mice and flipped them onto their backs to observe how long it would take them to flip back onto their fronts. This assay did not show any significant differences between wild type pups and pups with the genetic abnormality.
Going into this experience I was skeptical about doing research in genetics rather than just neuroscience. However, my mentors have shown me that research is very individual and every person contributes their own strengths and interests to each projects. I really enjoyed my time with everyone at the Zhou lab an look forward to working with them during the upcoming year.

1. From the Elastic Runtime tile, Select System Logging. Sys logging
2. If you want to include security events in your log stream, select the Enable Cloud Controller security event logging checkbox. This logs all API requests, including the endpoint, user, source IP, and request result, in the Common Event Format (CEF).
3. Enter the IP address of your syslog server in External Syslog Aggregator Hostname and its port in External Syslog Aggregator Port. The default port for a syslog server is 514.
Note: The host must be reachable from the Elastic Runtime network, accept TCP connections, and use the RELP protocol. Ensure your syslog server listens on external interfaces.
4. Select an External Syslog Network Protocol to use when forwarding logs.
5. For the Syslog Drain Buffer Size, enter the number of messages the Doppler server can hold from Metron agents before the server starts to drop them. See the Loggregator Guide for Cloud Foundry Operators topic for more details.
6. Click Save.
Scale Loggregator
Apps and PCF system components constantly generate log and metrics data. The Loggregator system handles this data as follows. See Overview of the Loggregator System for more information.
• The Metron agent running on each component or application VM collects and sends this data out to Doppler components.
• Doppler components temporarily buffer the data before periodically forwarding it to the Traffic Controller. When the log and metrics data input to a Doppler exceeds its buffer size for a given interval, data can be lost.
• The Traffic Controller serves the aggregated data stream through the Firehose WebSocket endpoint.
Follow the instructions below to scale the Loggregator system. For guidance on monitoring and capacity planning, see Monitoring Pivotal Cloud Foundry.
Increase buffer size
1. From the Elastic Runtime tile, select System Logging.
2. Increase the Drain Buffer Size to prevent loss of log data.
3. Click Save.
4. Click Apply Changes.
Add Component VM Instances
1. From the Elastic Runtime tile, select Resource Config.
2. Increase the number in the Instances column of the component you want to scale. You can add instances for the following Loggregator components:
• Loggregator Traffic Controller
Note: The Reverse Log Proxy (RLP) BOSH job is colocated with the Traffic Controller VM. If you want to scale Loggregator to handle more logs for syslog drains, you can add instances of the Traffic Controller.
• Syslog Adapter
• Doppler Server Loggregator vms

Data from: Multicollinearity in spatial genetics: separating the wheat from the chaff using commonality analyses

Abstract
Direct gradient analyses in spatial genetics provide unique opportunities to describe the inherent complexity of genetic variation in wildlife species and are the object of many methodological developments. However, multicollinearity among explanatory variables are a systemic issue in multivariate regression analyses and are likely to cause serious difficulties in properly interpreting results of direct gradient analyses, with the risk of erroneous conclusions, misdirected research and inefficient or counter-productive conservation measures. Using simulated datasets along with linear and logistic regressions on distance matrices, we illustrate how commonality analysis (CA), a detailed variance partitioning procedure that was recently introduced in the field of ecology, can be used to deal with non-independence among spatial predictors. By decomposing model fit indices into unique and common (or shared) variance components, CA allows identifying the location and magnitude of multicollinearity, revealing spurious correlations and thus thoroughly improving the interpretation of multivariate regressions. Despite a few inherent limitations, especially in the case of resistance model optimisation, this review highlights the great potential of CA to account for complex multicollinearity patterns in spatial genetics and identifies future applications and lines of research. We strongly urge spatial geneticists to systematically investigate commonalities when performing direct gradient analyses.

Hydrodynamics and particles mixing in rectangular spouted bed with different base geometries using CFD-DEM
A numerical study on the flow field and particle mixing behavior in spouted beds with the aim of considering different base shapes was carried out using CFD-DEM modeling. Four spouted beds with different base angles of 180, 120, 90 and 60 degrees were compared. In order to have a qualitative and quantitative analysis on the mixing behavior, particle tracing and Lacey mixing index calculation were executed for the models. Rectangular spouted beds generate dead-zones in the corners of the system that causes less ultimate mixing index value. As the base angle decreases, the mixing index tends to increase. A mixing degree of the case with 180 degrees base angle reaches no more than 79% at the end of the simulation, which is the lowest, whereas a mixing degree of the 60 degrees base angle reaches the maximum value of 97%, which is the highest. Particle tracing conducted in these models indicates that this matter is due to the observed fact that with more incline of the base walls, particles slip more into the spout, thus entering the circulating flow. The results also indicate this increase in the slope has almost no effect on the rate which the mixing index reaches its maximum value. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

Avoid Email Spam With a Good SMTP as a Service
Approximately 67% of emails sent worldwide are spam. Hard to believe, but true, according to an Internet Live Stats study. Other studies, such as that of Kaspersky Lab, move at similar levels: 58%, according to the well-known antivirus company. The figures have increased in recent years by about 3 percentage. Most of it comes from computers and servers infected with malicious programs that quickly end up on the blacklists of large providers as spammers. SMTP, mail relaying service, authentication provides the minimum security necessary to prevent this from happening.
What is spam?
Whether it is to talk about that boring friend who does not stop calling on Skype or who does not stop sending us WhatsApp chains so that we have good luck in life. Although, curiously, the origin of the word is in a brand of canned meat that American soldiers received from their families during World War II.
The definition: It refers to unsolicited messages, mainly of an advertising type, and sent in bulk. The most widely used form of delivery is email, but it can also be presented by instant messaging programs or social networks.
But, when we talk about it, we are also referring to another type of it: malicious or fraudulent emails. These ones usually contain scams or scams that have the sole purpose of obtaining sensitive information from the recipient, such as the access data of a bank account.

What are filters and how do they work?
An email ends up in the Spam folder when it fails to overcome the antispam filters created by ISPs (Internet Service Providers) to assess the quality of incoming ones.
These filters are algorithms made up of a long (and secret) list of factors that allow you to classify the quality of each one and determine whether or not it can reach the inbox.
To further complicate the situation, each ISP has its own criteria and levels of restriction, so the same one can pass the filter and reach the inbox without problems in one case, and be considered illegitimate in another.
In addition, the fact that an email reaches the Junk Mail tray does not necessarily mean that it is spam, but that providers have marked it as such.
These messages that are never received, but are completely legitimate, are known as graymail. They are ones that the messaging provider has identified as spam for a number of reasons, such as poor recipient interaction, high bounce rates, bad IP reputation, or content full of terms that trigger alarms. In many cases, the reasons why a message never reaches the inbox are difficult to determine.
What is the SMTP service?
The Simple Mail Transfer Protocol, commonly used by the SMTP abbreviation, is a protocol used to filter email using reliable transfer services such as TCP. Like most protocols of this type, which consists of layers, there is a client and a server-side.
When a server sends a message to other servers, it assumes the role of an SMTP client, and when it receives messages it acts as an SMTP server. SMTP as a service works through authentication mechanisms, only trusted users can send a message using the server. Also, log data is stored and so is known who is sending. There are many SMTP services duocircle.com is considered among the 7 best SMTP providers.

What is SMTP authentication?
Is your mail server configured with SMTP authentication? If not, you should do it. This way, professional spammers won’t be able to reach your inbox as easily. In addition to avoiding spam, you will reduce the amount of traffic on your server.
How does it work?
The biggest difference is that instead of the usual 25, a 587 / TCP port is used. These protocols are based on various mechanisms, which through layers confirm the reliability of the client.
PLAIN
: The first level of validation in which the username and password are verified. They are not encrypted.
LOGIN: It works similar to the previous step, but the encode is something different. The username and password are transferred in two steps. These are the Base64 codes.
CRAM-MD5: Introduces an alternative. It has a higher level of security, based on the problem-response principle
More ways to prevent it
Unsubscribe
The first thing you can do with those newsletters that no longer interest you is to unsubscribe. In this case, we are not talking about spam as such since at some point we voluntarily registered, but if after a while those emails bother us, the best thing is to cancel the subscription. If you don’t want to do it one by one, there are several online tools that show you all the subscriptions associated with your email and allow you to delete all of the ones you want.

Mark as spam
It hurts us a lot to say that, but sometimes you have to go to extreme measures to have a proper inbox. If you do not find the unsubscribe link or the sender in question does not stop sending you communications, you have no choice but to mark it: from now on it will be the filters that take care of them. However, don’t forget to check your spam tray from time to time to make sure that no important ones got there mistakenly.
Be careful when registering
When you want to register to a page, always take a look at the fine print of the forms; Often web pages include additional boxes in which it is accepted to receive commercial information from them or from third parties. Although the arrival of the RGPD has regulated this aspect a lot, there are still pages that try to “cheat” by pre-checking those boxes or formulating the phrase in an unclear way.
Create an alternative email address
If you don’t have it yet, we don’t know what you’re waiting for! Most users today have an alternative address to sign up for all kinds of services and thus avoid filling their inbox with daily notifications.
Do not interact with it
Don’t hesitate: if it looks like spam, then it is. In this case, it is better not to even open that email and send it directly to the spam folder to avoid being the victim of any phishing technique that could harm us.
Source: TechSpot
Conclusion:
Although today this problem is significantly reduced compared to say 20 years ago, you will never be able to completely block all spam, but this will solve most problems.

What is the meaning of a satellites footprint (coverage)?
The area of the Earth covered by the microwave radiation from a satellite dish (transponder) is called the satellites footprint. The size of the footprint depends on the location of the satellite in its orbit, the shape and size of beam produced by its transponder and the distance from the earth. The footprint can be seen as:
• The area in which a broadcast signal from a particular satellite can be received
• The area on the surface of the earth within a satellite’s transponder (transmitter or sensor) field of view.
Intelsat 10 at 68.5º E Africa footprint.
Intelsat 10 at 68.5º E Africa footprint.
There are usually different maps for each transponder (or group of transponders) as each may be aimed to cover different areas on the ground. The maps usually show either
• the estimated minimal dish diameter required or
• the signal strength in each area measured in dBW. dBW (decibel watt) is a standard unit of measurement of the strength of a signal expressed in decibels relative to one watt.
Limitations
Maps show general coverage for regions and therefore any boundary as indicated by the footprint maps, should not be interpreted as a rigid limit. The quality of reception can be very at different places short distances apart. This occurrence is more noticeable as the frequencies increases.
The difference between high and low frequencies are:
• Low frequency
• can travel around the world
• has low energy power
• needs a bigger dish
• minimal interference by clouds
• High frequency
• are mostly straight line of sight
• have a lot of energy power
• scatters very easy into different directions (by severe storms)
• needs a smaller dish

Introduction
Vyto Keto Diet is a popular ketogenic diet plan that has gained a significant following in recent years. This diet involves consuming high amounts of healthy fats, moderate protein, and minimal carbohydrates in order to induce a state of ketosis in the body. This metabolic state allows the body to burn fat for fuel instead of carbohydrates, leading to rapid weight loss and numerous other health benefits.
How Vyto Keto Diet Works
The primary goal of the Vyto Keto Diet is to put the body into a state of ketosis. Ketosis is a metabolic state in which the body burns fat for fuel instead of carbohydrates. This is achieved by drastically reducing the intake of carbohydrates and increasing the consumption of healthy fats. When the body is deprived of carbohydrates, it begins to break down fat stores for energy, leading to rapid weight loss.
Benefits of Vyto Keto Diet
There are numerous benefits associated with following the Vyto Keto Diet. Some of the most notable benefits include:
Vitamin D3 Dietary Supplement branding dietary supplement dietary suppliment fitness supplement graphic design health supplement illustration illustrator label label design logo mockup new packaging design photoshop product design protein supplements supplement trending vitamin supplements1. Rapid weight loss: By forcing the body to burn fat for fuel, the Vyto Keto Diet can lead to rapid weight loss, making it an effective tool for those looking to shed unwanted pounds.
2. Increased energy levels: Many people report feeling more energetic and alert while following the Vyto Keto Diet, as the body is constantly burning fat for fuel.
3. Improved mental clarity: The high fat content of the Vyto Keto Diet has been shown to improve cognitive function and mental clarity, making it a popular choice for individuals looking to boost their brainpower.
4. Reduced inflammation: The anti-inflammatory properties of the Vyto Keto Diet can help reduce inflammation in the body, leading to improved overall health and well-being.
5. Better blood sugar control: By reducing the intake of carbohydrates, the Vyto Keto Diet can help regulate blood sugar levels and improve insulin sensitivity, making it a useful tool for individuals with diabetes or insulin resistance.
Drawbacks of Vyto Keto Diet
While the Vyto Keto Diet offers numerous benefits, there are also some potential drawbacks to consider. Some of the most common drawbacks include:
1. Initial side effects: Many people experience side effects such as fatigue, headaches, and irritability when first starting the Vyto Keto Diet, as the body adjusts to burning fat for fuel instead of carbohydrates.
2. Difficulty sticking to the diet: The strict restrictions on carbohydrate intake can make it challenging for some people to adhere to the Vyto Keto Diet long-term, leading to potential weight regain.
3. Nutrient deficiencies: Because the Vyto Keto Diet restricts certain food groups, there is a risk of nutrient deficiencies if not carefully planned and monitored.
4. Limited food choices: The Vyto Keto Diet can be restrictive in terms of food choices, which can make it difficult to follow for individuals with specific dietary preferences or restrictions.
Conclusion
Overall, the Vyto Keto Diet is a popular and effective way to lose weight, improve health, and boost energy levels. By inducing a state of ketosis in the body, this diet plan can help individuals burn fat for fuel and achieve their weight loss goals. However, it is important to consider the potential drawbacks and limitations of the Vyto Keto Diet before starting, as it may not be suitable for everyone. As always, it is recommended to consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian before making any significant changes to your diet.

Fluvial, tidal and storm sedimentation in the Chilhowee Group (Lower Cambrian), northeastern Tennessee, U.S.A.
Authors
ABSTRACT
The Lower Cambrian Chilhowee Group of northeastern Tennessee consists of the Unicoi, Hampton and Erwin Formations, and is divided into four facies. The conglomerate facies occurs only within the lower 200 m of measured section (the Unicoi Formation) and consists of fine-grained to pebbly quartz wacke with rare thin beds of laminated siltstone. Low-angle to horizontally laminated, fine-grained sandstone with laminae and lenses of granules and pebbles represents upper flow-regime, overbank deposition within a braided stream system that was close to a coastline. Medium-scale, planar-tabular cross-stratified conglomerate in which megaripple bedforms are preserved is interpreted as representing deposition in interbar pools of braided channels, as flood stage waned and larger bedforms ceased to migrate. Large-scale, planar-tabular cross-stratified conglomerate beds represent migration of large transverse bars within a broad braided stream channel during high flood stage.
The sandstone facies occurs throughout the Chilhowee Group, and is therefore interbedded with all other facies. It consists of mainly medium- to very coarse-grained, subarkosic to arkosic arenite. Thinly interbedded, laminated siltstone and sandstone, which may exhibit wavy or lenticular bedding, represents deposition during slack water periods between ebb and flood tides. Large-scale planar-tabular and trough cross-stratification reflects deposition within the deepest areas of subtidal channels, whereas medium-scale cross-stratification represents deposition in shallower water on shoals separating channels. Fining- and thinning-upward sequences most likely resulted from the longshore migration of channels and shoals.
The hummocky facies occurs only in the Erwin Formation and consists of horizontally laminated to hummocky stratified, fine-grained arkosic to subarkosic arenite interbedded with equal amounts of bioturbated mudstone. It represents deposition between storm and fairweather wave-base by combined-flow storm currents.
The quartz arenite facies is characterized by an absence of fine-grained units and lithologically consists of a super-mature, medium- to coarse-grained quartz arenite. Large-scale planar-tabular cross-stratification and abundant low-angle cross-stratification with rare symmetrical ripples (lower quartz arenite facies) occurs interbedded with the braided fluvial conglomerate facies, and was deposited within either a ridge-and-runnel system or a system of nearshore bars. Large-scale, planar-tabular cross-stratification (upper quartz arenite facies), which forms the top of two 40 m-thick coarsening-upward sequences of the type: hummocky faciessandstone faciesquartz arenite facies, probably represents deposition on sand ridges that formed on a sand-starved shelf as transgression caused the detachment and reworking of shoreface channel-shoal couplets.
Palaeocurrent data for the Chilhowee Group are unimodal but widely dispersed from 0° to 180°, and exhibit a minor mode to the west. The data are interpreted to reflect the influence of longshore, tidal and storm currents. The ichnofossil assemblage changes upsection from one characterized only by Paleophycus to a Skolithos ichnofacies and finally to a Cruziana ichnofacies. The facies sequence, biogenic and palaeocurrent data reflect the interaction through time of (I) non-marine and marine processes; and (2) transgression coupled with shoreline progradation. The Chilhowee Group represents an overall deepening from terrestrial deposition to a marine shoreface that experienced both longshore and tidal currents, and finally to a storm shelf environment that periodically shoaled upward.

The network was licensed by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) in 1996 to a joint venture of Thomson Corporation (50%), Western International Communications (25%) and Cancom (25%). It launched on September 1, 1999, as Report on Business Television (although using the abbreviation ROBTv); it was co-branded with Report on Business, the business news section of the Thomson-owned The Globe and Mail.
In 2000, Canwest acquired WIC and its interest in ROBTv. As part of the agreement transferring WIC's interests in Cancom to Shaw Communications, Canwest acquired Cancom's share of the channel as well.
The same year, the owners came into conflict with each other: Canwest acquired the Southam newspaper chain, including the National Post, the Globe's chief rival, while Thomson transferred the Globe and its shares of ROBTv to Bell Globemedia, a newly formed media company which also included CTV, in which Thomson held a 20% interest.
Following threats of legal action from both sides, in 2001 CanWest agreed to sell its 50% interest to Bell Globemedia, in exchange for carriage of a proposed competitor aligned with the Financial Post on Bell Expressvu.
Bell Globemedia assumed full control of ROBTv in late 2001; the channel was then rebranded as Report on Business Television, discontinuing use of the abbreviated "ROBTv" brand.
As Business News Network (BNN)
On March 12, 2007, the channel was renamed Business News Network. The name change occurred to give exclusive rights to the "Report on Business" name to The Globe and Mail and for the channel to have its own identity. It also alleviated a common problem with the ROBTv name: other media and viewers called it "Rob TV", rather than sounding out the ROB acronym as preferred by the network.
BNN relocated its operations from 720 King Street West to 299 Queen Street West on December 6, 2010, the building in which CTV's Much and Toronto's 24-hour news service CP24 are based.
The Thomson family reacquired control of the Globe (and therefore Report on Business) in late 2010, and CTVglobemedia's broadcasting assets were sold to Bell Canada; as a result, the channel and the newspaper are no longer co-owned, although Bell retains a 15% interest in the paper. Following the merger with Bell Canada, on April 1, 2011, Bell Canada renamed its new business unit from CTVglobemedia to Bell Media.
As BNN Bloomberg
On January 9, 2018, Bell Media announced that it had reached a licensing and content agreement with Bloomberg L.P., under which BNN would be co-branded as BNN Bloomberg — a rebranding which took effect April 30, 2018. The rebranded network collaborates with Bloomberg's existing news bureaus, which include five Canadian bureaus staffed by over 25 reporters. Bell Media Radio also holds rights to distribute Bloomberg Radio content in Canada;
Bloomberg had previously partnered with Channel Zero on Bloomberg TV Canada, which was the U.S. service supplanted with programs covering Canadian financial news; that channel shut down in October 2017. BNN's existing domestic programming was largely maintained upon the rebranding, although the network does carry Bloomberg's business day programs for Asia and Europe outside of the North American business day. In addition, the 1:00 p.m. ET hour of Bloomberg Markets: Americas became a co-production with BNN, with Amanda Lang co-hosting from Toronto. As a result of the partnership, the U.S. Bloomberg Television was once again pulled from Canadian television providers, but the network, as well as BNN Bloomberg itself, can be streamed online by BNN subscribers on participating television providers.
Programming
A large majority of the programming carried on BNN is produced in-house. Previously, it had been the Canadian broadcast partner of CNNfn, an American business news channel which ceased operations in December 2004. BNN features a televised stock ticker with real-time data from the Toronto Stock Exchange, the New York Stock Exchange, NASDAQ, and many international financial exchanges. In addition to its homebase in Toronto, BNN also operates news bureaus located at the NASDAQ Market Site in New York City's Times Square, and in Calgary.
BNN attracts approximately 5,000 regular viewers daily and has a strong viewership outside of the home (such as in gyms, restaurants and offices) which is not reflected in its ratings. This is a situation also faced by networks with high out-of-home viewing patterns such as CNBC. In March 2016, ratings data from Numeris showed BNN had an average weekly reach of more than 1 million viewers since December 2015.
Special programming
The network hosts a series of special presentations throughout the year, including specials for tax and Registered Retirement Savings Plan seasons. In the fall of 2006, Report on Business Television hosted its first "Live On Location" event in Toronto during which a studio audience was featured during two of the network's most popular shows, Market Call with Jim O'Connell and SqueezePlay with Kim Parlee and Andrew Bell. This was the first time viewers had the opportunity to go live in person with the network during its regular broadcasts of Market Call.
In May 2008, the network relaunched BNN.ca, featuring its first online contest called "The BNN.ca $25,000 Challenge". The updated BNN.ca showcased a new video player allowing investors to search, sort and personalize BNN video; and the new player increased availability of past BNN video by allowing viewers to access content for an unlimited period of time online. Other added features on the site included blogs, a "Market Monitor", feature video clips on the homepage, an online stock ticker, features such as "Hot Stocks" and "Guest Picks", stock indices, and tracking of the latest and popular news stories on the site.
BNN's weekend programming consists mainly of repeats of some of the programs aired on BNN's weekday schedule, as well as other Bloomberg Television series.
Radio
Concurrent with the April 30, 2018, rebranding of BNN, Bell also relaunched its Vancouver radio station CFTE (formerly a TSN Radio station) as BNN Bloomberg Radio. The station features audio simulcasts of BNN Bloomberg television programs, as well as other Bloomberg Radio programs. The station is aimed to a national audience for streaming via iHeartRadio. On February 9, 2021, Bell flipped CKOC in Hamilton to BNN Bloomberg Radio as well, after it dropped its own TSN Radio format. In 2023, CFTE in Vancouver was closed and Hamilton's CKOC was sold, pending CRTC approval. The BNN Bloomberg Radio feed will continue to run until the sale of CKOC is completed.

1. Introduction
A digital control system
is one in which the transfer function, representing the
compensator built with analog components, are now replaced with a digital computer th
at
performs calculations that emulate the physical compensator. The following is an
example of using digital control system for azimuth position control.
The structure of a typical digital controller is as follows.
The signals in the above co
ntrol loop take on two forms: digital or analogy. Up to this
point we have used analogy signals exclusively. Digital signals, which consist of a
sequence of
binary numbers
(e.g. 10101011), can be found in loops containing digital
computers. Loops containin
g both analog and digital signals must provide a means for
conversion from one form to the other as required by each subsystem. A device that
converts analogy signals to digital signals is called an
analog
-
to
-
digital (A/D) converter
.
Conversely, a device t
hat converts digital signals to analog singles is called a
digital
-
to
-
analog (D/A) converter
.
In an A/D converter, the analog signal is sampled at a periodic interval and then held over
the sampling interval by a device called a
zero
-
order sample
-
and
-
hol
d (z.o.h)
. Samples
are held before being digitized because a certain time period is required for an A/D
converter to convert an analog voltage to its digital form or, in other words, the constant
analog voltage must be present during the conversion process
. Ideal sampling and the
z.o.h. are presented in the following figure.

3. Controller Design via the s
-
Plane
There are a number of strategies
or methods
that could be used for the design of discrete
controllers. To illustrate the implementation of digital controllers we will consider a
method that
allows us to design controllers via the s
-
Plane and then to convert the design
into a discrete form.
The Tustin transformation
is used to transform the continuous compensator,
G
c
(
s
), to
the digital compensator,
G
c
(
z
). The Tustin transformation is given
by

As the sampling interval,
T
, gets smaller (high sampling rate), the digital compensator's
output yields a closer match to the analog compensator. If the sampling rate is not high
enough, there is a discrepancy at higher frequencies between the digital and analog
frequency responses.

4. Implementing the Digital Compensator
Consider the following block diagram which may be part of a bigger control system:
The input to the digital compensator (or controller) is the sampled error s
ignal
E
(

), and
its output is
X
(
z
), which is used to drive the plant. Now we will see how to implement the
digital compensator,
G
c
(
z
), within a digital computer
. For this, we have two steps:
Step 1:
Derive the difference equation from the digital transfer functi
on, by taking the
inverse z

Step 1: Derive the difference equation from the digital transfer function.
Step
2: Develop a flowchart for the digital compensator based on the diff
erence equation,
and then program to realize it.
The above flowchart shows that the compensator can be implemented by storing several
successive values of the input and output. The output is then formed by a weig
hted linear
combination of these stored variables.
In Simulink, the block of ‘Unit Delay’, i.e.,
is used to perform a delay of one sample period. Thus, if using Simulink to realize the
digital compensator, we can use the block of ‘Unit Delay’ and t
he block of ‘Gain’ to
simply replace the corresponding blocks in the above flowchart so as to create a Simulink
model.

Can you retroactively sync an Iphone?
Hi, I've just bought an Iphone 5 and synced it with my computer, only to find that my previous back up (from my previous phone) hasn't worked. I've got 3 weeks worth of messages and photos in the old phone that i need to get into the new. If I back the old phone up now will it effect/ confuse the new phone? I've also installed a new SIM so I don't want to mess this up. Does anybody have any advice?
Thanks, Thorin

In theory you should be able to if you did this...
1.Reset the NEW Phone - Wiping all data
Note: This is so that when you plug into iTunes, it detects it as a new device and asks what you want to do (Ie. Restore from a previous backup)
2. Plug in the OLD Phone and backup all data.
3. Plug in the NEW Phone and when prompted tell it to restore from the backup.
I did steps 2 & 3 for the misses when she got her iPhone 5. She had an iPhone 4 running iOS 5.something. When she got the new phone, we plugged it in, iTunes asked weather to setup as a new phone or restore from a backup. All her stuff happily went on the phone, even tho the new phone was running iOS 6.
You might have problems if your old phone was running a much older version of iOS. What phones specifically are you talking about? And what iOS version are they running?
I recommend you talk to apple, don't blame me if this doesn't work or it stuffs up your phones.
• thorinthorin Posts: 2Member
Thanks for the advice. Sounds like opening a can of worms. The new phone is activated now and seems to be working bar the missing info. I need it for work so am not going to mess with it. Don't fancy trying to back up from an inactive phone.... As you suggest will take it in to Apple store. Cheers

A subdomain of the endoplasmic reticulum forms a cradle for autophagosome formation

Abstract
Autophagy is a bulk degradation process in eukaryotic cells and has fundamental roles in cellular homeostasis.The origin and source of autophagosomal membranes are long-standing questions in the field. Using electron microscopy, we show that, in mammalian culture cells, the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) associates with early autophagic structures called isolation membranes (IMs). Overexpression of an Atg4B mutant, which causes defects in autophagosome formation, induces the accumulation of ER-IM complexes. Electron tomography revealed that the ER-IM complex appears as a subdomain of the ER that formed a cradle encircling the IM, and showed that both ER and isolation membranes are interconnected.

John Swofford
John Douglas Swofford (born December 6, 1948) is an American former college athletics administrator. He served as the athletic director at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill from 1980 to 1997 and as the commissioner of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) from 1997 to 2021.
Early life and education
Swofford was born on December 6, 1948, in North Wilkesboro, North Carolina, in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. While at Wilkes Central High School, he played as a quarterback for the Wilkes Central Eagles football team and was twice selected to the all-state football team. He was awarded a prestigious Morehead Scholarship to attend the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1967, where he was part of Bill Dooley's first football recruiting class. He played quarterback and defensive back from 1969 to 1971. He earned a master's degree in sports management from Ohio University in 1973.
Career
Swofford began his first job as ticket manager and assistant director of athletic facilities at the University of Virginia in 1973, where he worked under athletic director Gene Corrigan. He returned to North Carolina in 1976. In 1980, he was promoted internally to the position of athletic director to replace Bill Cobey who had left for political ambitions. Dick Baddour succeeded him as North Carolina's athletic director in 1997.
On July 1, 1997, Swofford was named the fourth commissioner of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC), succeeding Gene Corrigan.
During his tenure he has doubled the ACC's annual revenue, served as Chairman of the Bowl Championship Series in college football in 2000 and 2001, and expanded the ACC from nine teams to 15, adding Boston College, Virginia Tech, the University of Miami, the University of Pittsburgh, Syracuse University, the University of Notre Dame, and the University of Louisville by 2014.
He was instrumental in starting the ACC–Big Ten Challenge and the launch of the ACC Network. ACC programs won 92 national titles in 19 sports while he was commissioner. After creating the most lucrative ACC Media deal with ESPN, Swofford received media rights from each ACC University. With a vote from all of the ACC Presidents, led by Jim Clements of Clemson, the ACC announced the launch of the ACC Network on ESPN.
In June 2020, Swofford announced via a press release that he will retire as the president of the ACC in June 2021.
Awards and honors
Swofford has been elected to the North Carolina High School Athletic Association Hall of Fame in 2001, the North Carolina Sports Hall of Fame in 2009, and Wilkes County NC Hall of Fame in 2014.
Swofford received the Homer Rice award in 2005 and the Corbett Award in 2011.
Personal life
Swofford and his wife, Nora, live in Greensboro, North Carolina and they have three children. Swofford is the brother of William Oliver Swofford (1945–2000), a pop singer professionally known as Oliver who performed from the late 1960s through the late 1970s. | WIKI |

Feedback from New Page Review process
I left the following feedback for the creator/future reviewers while reviewing this article: Thank you for this informative new article. I am a bit confused by the "Year" column. Is this the year that a dispute was raised or first litigated? I happen to know a lot about Led Zeppelin's misdeeds in this area, and the "Year" column may cause confusion between the date of an accusation and the date of a final settlement, which could be many years later..
--- DOOMSDAYER 520 (Talk|Contribs) 21:50, 31 January 2020 (UTC)
* I've been slightly confused by this also. Because the lead mentions that some disputes are still ongoing, I've taken the year to signify the start of a dispute – but I don't know whether that's necessarily the best approach.
* Another thing to add is that there appears to be many songs omitted from the list. (I appreciate it's early days, of course.) Several come to mind for me; it's probably best to let Category:Songs involved in plagiarism controversies be a guide. JG66 (talk) 03:25, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
* The year is the year of the dispute. But other dates are not entered all the time. So perhaps the list needs another year column? It used to look like this Lightburst (talk) 03:28, 1 February 2020 (UTC)

Chart Inclusion
it is interesting that kiss and elvis costello gave their plagiarists a pass, but it begs the question: what is the criteria for being included in this chart? if just some "perception" of similarity is enough (i.e. actual litigation not necessary), where then are "kodachrome" v "peacekeeper" and "theme for the masses" v "total eclipse of the heart" -- 2 of the more egregious examples of song theft out there.
also, if "creep" was found to have ripped off "the air that i breathe" how do they then have standing to sue "get free"?! is it a matter of radiohead's version being ruled "partially stolen and partially original" or are we talking music theft in one case and lyrics theft in the other? <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 16:22, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
* I was thinking the same thing. Olivia Rodrigo's song "Brutal" was accused of stealing a guitar riff from Elvis Costello's "Pump it Up", but Costello has said he's "fine with it". It doesn't seem like there's any kind of legal action being pursued. I think this article needs to reflect that. Infinity Project (talk) 18:45, 24 June 2023 (UTC)
An update over the Song shake it off by Taylor Swift
The ongoing lawsuit between the writers of a unfamiliar 3LW song & Taylor Swift Shake it Off lawsuit has been dropped in December https://www.billboard.com/pro/taylor-swift-shake-it-off-lyrics-lawsuit-case-dropped/ NLD1994 (talk) 03:13, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
Several are Media or Fan Claims
An example is Olivia Rodrigo's "Brutal," with respect to Elvis Costello's "Pump It Up."
When a Twitter user said Rodrigo's song was "pretty much a direct lift," Costello replied: "This is fine by me. It's how rock & roll works. You take the broken pieces of another thrill and make a brand new toy. That's what I did."

Erwin Schrödinger Nobel Prize in Physics 1933
Quantum Leap in Physics
Edwin Schrödinger proved that electrons could have the properties of either waves or particles, but are neither the one nor the other – a discovery that revolutionized physics.
In the fall of 1921, Erwin Schrödinger was appointed to the chair for theoretical physics at the University of Zurich, a position that had been vacant since 1914. At that time no one imagined that six years later he would leave the University and the city hailed as a genius by luminary figures such as Albert Einstein and Max Planck, and celebrated as a star.
While at the University, Erwin Schrödinger revolutionized physics by creating a new atomic theory, a scientific breakthrough he achieved in the winter of 1925/26. In the summer semester of 1925, Erwin Schrödinger had read the doctoral thesis of a young Frenchman, Louis de Broglie, who proposed that matter – such as electrons – also possessed wave properties. This contradicted the prevailing opinion of leading physicists of the time, who assumed that electrons were particles.
Schrödinger focused intensively on Broglie’s proposition that all matter has wave properties. What were the properties of such waves of matter? Schrödinger spent Christmas and New Year 1925/26 studying the matter while on holiday in Arosa. This vacation was the beginning of his annus mirabilis, a phase, lasting some twelve months, of concentrated, creative work.
These efforts resulted in his first article, “Quantisierung als Eigenwertproblem. Erste Mitteilung” (Quantization as a problem of proper values, part one), which he sent to the Annalen der Physik on 26 January 1926. In this paper, he first formulated his famous wave equation, which has gone down in the annals of physics as the “Schrödinger equation.” The wave equation makes it possible to calculate the energy levels of electrons in an atom, thus solving one of the great problems in quantum physics.
After Schrödinger’s wave equation, nothing in the world of physics was the same again. The dispute as to whether quantum objects such as electrons, atoms or molecules were waves or particles was settled. In a surprising fashion, however: Schrödinger demonstrated that electrons could have the properties of either waves or particles, but are neither the one nor the other; their state can be calculated only with a degree of probability. For this discovery, Erwin Schrödinger was awarded the 1933 Nobel Prize in Physics. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |
oracle增加表空间大小
第一步：查看表空间的名字及文件所在位置
SELECT TABLESPACE_NAME as "表空间",
FILE_ID as "表空间ID",
FILE_NAME as "文件",
ROUND(BYTES / (1024 * 1024), 0) || 'M' as "大小"
FROM SYS.DBA_DATA_FILES
ORDER BY TABLESPACE_NAME;
第二步：查询表空间使用情况
SELECT TABLESPACE_NAME "表空间",
To_char(Round(BYTES / 1024, 2), '99990.00')
|| '' "实有",
To_char(Round(FREE / 1024, 2), '99990.00')
|| 'G' "现有",
To_char(Round(( BYTES - FREE ) / 1024, 2), '99990.00')
|| 'G' "使用",
To_char(Round(10000 * USED / BYTES) / 100, '99990.00')
|| '%' "比例"
FROM (SELECT A.TABLESPACE_NAME TABLESPACE_NAME,
Floor(A.BYTES / ( 1024 * 1024 )) BYTES,
Floor(B.FREE / ( 1024 * 1024 )) FREE,
Floor(( A.BYTES - B.FREE ) / ( 1024 * 1024 )) USED
FROM (SELECT TABLESPACE_NAME TABLESPACE_NAME,
Sum(BYTES) BYTES
FROM DBA_DATA_FILES
GROUP BY TABLESPACE_NAME) A,
(SELECT TABLESPACE_NAME TABLESPACE_NAME,
Sum(BYTES) FREE
FROM DBA_FREE_SPACE
GROUP BY TABLESPACE_NAME) B
WHERE A.TABLESPACE_NAME = B.TABLESPACE_NAME)
--WHERE TABLESPACE_NAME LIKE 'name%'
ORDER BY Floor(10000 * USED / BYTES) DESC;
第三步：增大所需表空间大小
方法一：
alter database datafile '表空间位置’resize 新的尺寸
alter database datafile '\oracle\oradata\anita_2008.dbf' resize 4000m
方法二：增加数据文件个数
alter tablespace 表空间名称add datafile ‘新的数据文件地址’ size 数据文件大小
alter tablespace ESPS_2008 add datafile '\oracle\oradata\anita_2010.dbf' size 1000m
方法三：设置表空间自动扩展。
alter database datafile ‘数据文件位置’ autoextend on next 自动扩展大小maxsize 最大扩展大小
alter database datafile '\oracle\oradata\anita_2008.dbf' autoextend on next 100m maxsize 10000m
某个表大小查询
第一种方式
SELECT SEGMENT_NAME TABLE_NAME

,SUM(BYTES)/(1024*1024) "TABLE_SIZE[MB]"
FROM USER_SEGMENTS
WHERE SEGMENT_TYPE='TABLE'
AND SEGMENT_NAME='你要查询的表名'
GROUP BY SEGMENT_NAME;
第二种方式
SELECT SEGMENT_NAME TABLE_NAME
,SUM(BLOCKS) BLOCKS
,SUM(BYTES)/(1024*1024) "TABLE_SIZE[MB]"
FROM DBA_SEGMENTS
WHERE SEGMENT_TYPE='TABLE'
AND SEGMENT_NAME='你要查询的表名'

第三种方式
ANALYZE TABLE 用户名.表名 COMPUTE STATISTICS; --收集表对象的统计信息
SELECT OWNER OWNER_NAME
,TABLE_NAME TABLE_NAME
,TABLESPACE_NAME TABLESPACE_NAME
,BLOCKS ACTUAL_BLOCKS
,BLOCKS + EMPTY_BLOCKS TOTAL_BLOCKS

FROM DBA_TABLES
WHERE OWNER='用户名（大写）'
AND TABLE_NAME='表名（大写）'
第四种方式
--注，仅表数据的大小，不含索引、分区、LOB类型
SELECT SEGMENT_NAME "表名",sum(bytes)/1024/1024 "表大小(M)"
From User_Extents
Group By Segment_Name
having Segment_Name='你要查询的表名';
注意：
1、通过系统视图DBA_TABELS、USER_TABLES、USER_EXENTS统计空间大小有可能不准。
2、DBA_TABLES和DBA_SEGMENTS表中的block的区别：DBA_SEGMENTS中的blocks表示分配给表的存储空间，而DBA_TABLES中blocks表示表中数据实际占有的存储空间；所以这个是有细微差别的。如果要查表的实际占用大小，使用DBA_TABLES来查询是比较准确的，但是需要先收集一下表对象的统计信息。
3、数据库的db_block_size有所不同，不一定是8192，使用下面sql可查询
select name,value from v$parameter where name='db_block_size';
查看某个用户下各个表所占的空间
SELECT DISTINCT

Too many chiefs - Oakland’s police
THINGS seemed to be looking up for Oakland’s police department. Between January and the middle of March seven people were murdered in the notoriously violent northern Californian city—11 fewer than over the same period in 2015. Rapes, assaults and burglaries were down too. The department was closer to complying with the 51 reforms it was ordered by a court to implement in 2003, following a police misconduct settlement. The leader of the White House’s task-force on policing had even praised Oakland’s force, which was once a byword for abuse of power. Then, in May, several Oakland police officers were accused of sleeping with a prostitute, who was possibly underage at the time. Separately, an investigation was launched into other Oakland officers for sending racist text messages. On June 9th, Sean Whent, Oakland’s police chief, resigned. In the nine days that followed, a replacement chief was appointed and sacked, and the replacement’s replacement, who became chief automatically, stepped down. For now, Oakland’s police department is being led by a civilian. Upgrade your inbox and get our Daily Dispatch and Editor's Picks. The turmoil has its roots in a suicide note found beside the body of Brendan O’Brien, a police officer who shot himself in September. The note, which has not been released, prompted an internal investigation. The probe mostly went unnoticed until May, when reports surfaced that three officers had slept with a woman named Celeste Guap. Ms Guap later said she had sex with more than 20 officers from four different police departments in the area, none of whom she says paid her (though several gave advanced warning of undercover prostitution stings). This is not the Oakland police department’s first brush with ignominy. In the early 2000s, four officers who called themselves “the Riders” were accused of assaulting, robbing and planting evidence on suspects while they worked the night shift in West Oakland, a neighbourhood plagued by high crime. Since then, the department has been under federal supervision. The mayor, Libby Schaaf, who won office in part with promises to continue with reforms, issued a terse statement about the shenanigans: “As the Mayor of Oakland I am here to run a police department not a frat house.” Eugene O’Donnell, a former New York city cop and professor at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, reckons that the Oakland mayor’s office needs to directly increase scrutiny of its police, rather than rely on the federal monitor. Recruiting better officers would also help, though he expects they will be hard to find. Distrust of police in the post-Ferguson era mean fewer young Americans want to work in law enforcement; the dubious reputation of Oakland’s police probably makes it even harder to attract motivated rookies. Ray Long, the general manager of Bay Bridge Auto Body, a car repair shop in East Oakland, is similarly pessimistic. The neighbourhood where he tends to cars is so violent he has become desensitised to it. “Someone got shot in front of the shop recently in broad daylight and I don’t think I even put down my lunch,” he sighs. He says it took the police two hours to arrive and that when they did, they were laughing and joking around. “You can cut off the head, but that doesn’t fix the problem.” | NEWS-MULTISOURCE |

How to begin an exercise routine
Want to start exercising, but not sure where to begin? I can tell you starting an exercise routine can be life changing but also can be anxiety inducing. Below are basic tips and instructions for anyone starting an exercise routine for the first time.
1. Set specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and timely Goals.
Examples. I will increase my physical activity by strength training 3 ×s a week for 1 hour at my local gym starting Monday.
2. Develop a strategy for your workout routine. Don't just go into a gym or start exercising with no plan of what you're doing.
3. Create a support team or individual that will help keep you accountable.
4. Consistency is the best predictor of positive changes in your health and body.
5. Get PROPER instruction on lifting and form techniques! Doing an exercise wrong will not only stunt changes it can get you injured.

Miner Antofagasta expects water agreement with BHP for Zaldivar mine-media
SANTIAGO, March 22 (Reuters) - Chile’s Antofagasta expects to reach an agreement with miner BHP to help ensure water supply at its Zalidvar copper mine in the country’s northern desert, a company official told a Chilean newspaper on Friday. Antofagasta needs access to water for the future development of its Zaldivar copper deposit, which is near BHP’s Escondida mine, the world’s largest copper mine. Zaldivar’s size, however, does not justify investing in its own desalination plant to bring water in from the Pacific ocean, Antofagasta has said. Both companies are seeking to extend existing permits to draw water from Chile’s water-constrained Salar de Atacama, home to top lithium producers SQM and Albemarle. Chilean regulators last year implemented new restrictions on the salt flat amid concerns of dwindling water supplies . “We are worried and working on that in conjunction with BHP. I think we are going to come up with a good solution. There is a range of options and the decision has to be win-win,” Alfredo Atucha, vice president of administration and finance for Antofagasta, said to Chilean daily La Tercera. “We have been negotiating for three or four months and we are nearing the end of that, I am hopeful that we will reach a good agreement,” he added. The executive did not specify the potential options, though La Tercera cited sources saying that Escondida could sell water from its desalination plant to Antofagasta. Zaldivar is a joint project by Antofagasta and Barrick . In 2018, Zaldivar presented a study to Chile’s environmental regulator with the aim of extending its operations until 2031, which will involve an investment of about $100 million in order to maintain its current production capacity.

Kazuyoshi Kudo
Kazuyoshi Kudo (工藤 和義) was a Japanese organized crime figure. He was the 4th head of the Kokusui-kai, a Tokyo-based yakuza gang. He was also the 7th socho of Kanamachi-ikka.
In August 2005, Kudo shocked the yakuza world when he became sworn brothers with new Yamaguchi-gumi godfather Kenichi Shinoda in a sakazuki (sake-sharing) ceremony. As a result of the ritual, the Kokusui-kai became an affiliate of their former enemies, the Yamaguchi-gumi.
On February 15, 2007, he was found dead bleeding from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. The suicide followed a rash of shootings and retaliations between Kokusui-kai and a rival gang, Sumiyoshi-kai, over gang territory, including the shooting death of Sumiyoshi-kai's boss. The shootings ended with an agreement between the Kokusui-kai and Yamaguchi-gumi to stop fighting on 8 February. | WIKI |

-- Baum's View on Money
Happy Friday, all. I hope you enjoy some of today's selected readings. At least the Federal Reserve is still buying Private foreign investors sold a net $67 billion of Treasuries in June, which was both a record and the second consecutive monthly outflow. Foreigners were equally unenthused with other U.S. assets, selling agency securities, corporate bonds and equities. Unless the spike in long-term interest rates in response to Fed tapering talk is a case of sell the rumor, buy the news, the U.S. Treasury is looking at much higher borrowing costs. That's what happens when 41 percent of the debt has to be rolled over in the next two years. Where's the new news ? For all the hoopla over the monthly employment report, there's a lot less there than meets the eye, according to Goldman Sachs chief economist Jan Hatzius. He finds the market reaction isn't commensurate with the incremental information. For insights into the economy, it's better to focus on the Philly Fed's business outlook survey -- the oldest of the regional manufacturing surveys -- and the ISM's monthly manufacturing survey. It shouldn't be a mystery why these reports are more insightful. Manufacturers' new orders are a leading economic indicator. Employment is a coincident indicator. And the unemployment rate is a member in good standing of the index of lagging indicators. Don't uncork the Champagne just yet Austen Goolsbee tells Reuters that his biggest worry about the U.S. economy right now is…Europe. He says the problems the European currency union faces, including a lack of labor mobility and southern countries that are "locked in at the wrong exchange rate," aren't going away anytime soon. While euro-zone real growth of 0.3 percent in the second quarter was a welcome relief after six consecutive quarterly contractions, it's still close enough to zero for government work. Thanks, but no thanks The U.S. economy may be improving, but the public isn't giving President Obama the credit. Only 35 percent of Americans surveyed by Gallup this month approve of the president's handling of the economy, down seven points from June. Gallup says Obama's pivot to the economy shows "his focus is in the right place," but until the economy makes more impressive gains, ultimately reflected in improved economic confidence, Americans may not reward him with higher approval." That seems like an editorial leap. The University of Michigan consumer sentiment index hit a six-year high last month. (The mid-August report comes out today.) Consumers seem to think the economy is getting better. They just aren't giving credit to the guy in the White House. You do the math The latest Obamacare rule-suspension -- a delay in the cap on out-of-pocket health-care costs -- has opponents in a lather. "You see, it doesn't work." Or, "there goes the president fiddling with the rules again." The focus on Obamacare is misplaced, according to the Urban Institute's Gene Steuerle. He says there's a "disconnect between our nation's health care policies" -- take your pick which one -- "and the simple, unavoidable arithmetic of health care costs." Cost shifting doesn't mean cost-less. Someone pays. Just something to keep in mind when you read the political back-and-forth on Obamacare. (Caroline Baum is a Bloomberg View columnist.

Fleeting Rome
Fleeting Rome: In Search of La Dolce Vita is a posthumous book by Italian Jewish writer and painter Carlo Levi, which collects a number of his writings: correspondence, documents, photographic material from his exhibition catalogues, mainly extracted from the Italian State Central Archive, but also from other sources, such as the Collection of Manuscripts by Modern and Contemporary Authors at the University of Pavia, and the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center at the University of Texas at Austin, where Levi's Christ Stopped at Eboli is preserved.
The book is a portrayal of everyday life in Rome from the end of World War II to the student movements of the 1960s. Levi skilfully and lovingly sketches a portrait of the Capital city and of its inhabitants through changing seasons and changing times. The author revels in the riotous celebrations for New Year and the many festivals through the year, and rejoices in the beauty of the city in the early morning mist. He introduces a civil servant who spends his days collecting wild asparagus (a perfect employee who takes up no room in his office and causes no scandals), a peasant who wishes to be a writer, a writer who prefers football to talking about literature and thieves who masquerade as policemen. Rome for Levi is a constant joyous adventure that at every encounter and every street presents the casual stroller with a new and hidden delight.
The book has an introduction by Italian critic Giulio Ferroni and quotes as its epigraph a sonnet about Rome written by the baroque writer Francisco de Quevedo:
Although this volume of essays was published posthumously, edited by Gigliola De Donato and Luisa Montevecchi, Levi himself intended to gather and publish them with the title Roma fuggitiva (Fleeting Rome), a name that had been inspired by the example of the above verses Quevedo dedicated to Rome. 'Roma fuggitiva' is also the title of a short note among Levi's papers, dated 6 March 1963 from the addition or preamble to the article 'Il popolo di Roma' (The People of Rome). From this note, one learns that Levi took that reference as something like a metaphor for the endurance of that which history in any case had condemned to disappear, that is, that provisional 'restoration' that he had witnessed in the wake of the hopes of the Italian Resistance. These are the words of the article: "The 'fleeting moment' of Rome in these years is the external and evident history of the Italian ruling class, the fragile immobility of a restoration, the apathetic succession of scandals, speculations, deals, enrichments, the apparent triumph of a clerical bourgeoisie, and, flowing through the ruins, much like the river that so deeply moved the Spanish poet, is a glittering river of cars pounding the ancient roadways." The 1963 note distinguishes, on the one hand, between a Rome that is 'immense and pulpy' and, on the other hand, a 'living precious world', which seems to exist within it, consisting of a 'grey populace' waiting to speak, which is not 'dried out and dead like the stones and the architecture' and which seems to herald a possible world of the future. | WIKI |

Abstract
Context: Hypoglycemia-associated autonomic failure (HAAF) limits the ability of patients with diabetes to achieve target glycemia. Animal models have provided insights into the pathogenesis of HAAF, but a robust human model of HAAF in which recurrent hypoglycemia impacts the counterregulatory responses to hypoglycemia days later is lacking. Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the impact of two or three episodes of moderate hypoglycemia on counterregulatory responses to subsequent hypoglycemia induced 5 days later. Design and Subjects: Six healthy subjects participated in each of the two study protocols. In both protocol 1 and 2, subjects underwent two 2-hour hypoglycemic clamp studies during the morning and afternoon of day 1. In protocol 2, subjects underwent an additional third hypoglycemic clamp during the morning of day 2. All subjects in both protocols underwent a final hypoglycemic clamp on the morning of day 5. Results: In protocol 1, there were no significant differences in the hypoglycemia-induced hormone response or in symptoms scores between the mornings of days 1 and 5. In protocol 2, hypoglycemiainduced epinephrine (P=.02) and cortisol (P=.04) secretions were significantly lower on day 5 compared with day 1, whereas glucagon (P=.08) and norepinephrine (P=.59) were not different. Also in protocol 2, neurogenic (P=.02) and neuroglycopenic (P=.04) symptoms during hypoglycemia were decreased on day 5 compared with day 1. Conclusion: These results demonstrate that exposure of healthy humans to three 2-hour hypoglycemic episodes over 30 hours leads to significant blunting in counterregulatory and symptom response to subsequent hypoglycemia on day 5.

Manuka Honey for Weight Loss: Unlocking Nature's Sweet Secret
manuka honey for weight loss
In today's fast-paced era, maintaining a healthy lifestyle is more crucial than ever. With an increasingly sedentary lifestyle, the obesity rate has soared, leading to various medical conditions such as heart problems, diabetes, and joint issues.
As people search for effective ways to lose weight and embrace a healthier lifestyle, Manuka honey emerges as a natural remedy worth considering. In this article, we will explore the importance of Manuka honey in weight loss and how it can benefit your overall health.
The Health Benefits of Manuka Honey
Manuka honey is renowned for its antibacterial, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory properties. It aids in wound healing, prevents skin infections, supports upper respiratory tract health, and improves gut health. But can Manuka honey help with weight loss? The answer is a resounding YES.
Manuka Honey as a Natural Sweetener
Manuka honey contains glucose and fructose, making it an excellent substitute for refined sugar. By reducing calorie intake, it helps improve overall health. Additionally, Manuka honey has a low glycemic index, causing a gradual rise in blood sugar levels. This slow release helps control appetite by reducing hunger pangs.
Improving Gut Health
A healthy gut is essential for weight management. Manuka honey promotes digestion, increases nutrient absorption, and prevents constipation and bloating. Its antibacterial properties limit the growth of harmful bacteria and support beneficial gut flora, leading to better gut health and weight management.
Manuka Honey as an Energy Booster
Rich in carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins, and minerals, Manuka honey is an effective energy booster. Consuming it before or after workouts replenishes energy levels, enhances exercise performance, and aids in burning more calories, contributing to weight loss.
Increasing Metabolic Rate
The antioxidative properties of Manuka honey may help increase the metabolic rate. A higher metabolic rate means more calories are burned, aiding in weight management.
How to Use Manuka Honey for Weight Loss
Manuka honey's versatility makes it easy to incorporate into your diet. Here are some delicious and healthy ways to enjoy it:
Manuka Honey with Greek Yogurt
In a serving bowl, mix one cup of Greek yogurt, berries of your choice, and one tablespoon of chia seeds. Drizzle one tablespoon of Manuka honey over the mixture and enjoy a nutritious and delicious snack.
Manuka Honey in Detox Water
Add one tablespoon of Manuka honey, a small amount of lemon juice, and some grated ginger to a cup of lukewarm water. This detox drink is both refreshing and beneficial for weight loss.
Topping Manuka Honey on Salad
Combine your favourite vegetables in a bowl, add apple cider vinegar and olive oil, then mix in two tablespoons of Manuka honey. This healthy salad is a perfect weight-loss snack.
Manuka Honey with Avocado Smoothie
Blend half a ripe avocado, half a frozen banana, a small amount of baby spinach, one tablespoon of chia seeds, one tablespoon of Manuka honey, and one cup of almond milk. Enjoy this flavorful and nutritious avocado smoothie.
Manuka Honey with Oatmeal
Mix half a cup of oats, a quarter cup of nuts, a quarter cup of seasonal fruits (apple, banana, or berries), one cup of almond milk, one teaspoon of cinnamon powder, and one tablespoon of Manuka honey. This healthy bowl is perfect for breakfast or as an evening snack.
Conclusion
While Manuka honey alone is not a magic solution for weight loss, when combined with a balanced diet and regular exercise, it can yield remarkable results. It improves digestive health, boosts metabolic rate, and serves as a natural sweetener, playing a vital role in managing a healthy weight.

Nishoku no Koma
Nishoku no Koma (二色の独楽) is the fourth studio album by Japanese singer-songwriter Yosui Inoue, released in October 1974.
All tracks which appeared on the album were recorded at the studios in Los Angeles, owing to a record producer Hidenori Taga's suggestion. Except an arranger Katz Hoshi and a guitarist Hiromi Yasuda, recording for the album were completed by the Western session musicians. In addition to Hoshi who had participated in Inoue's previous albums, Gene Page joined the arrangement for some songs. The title track was arranged by Jack Nitzsche, who appointed all personnel and controlled the recording of the song rigidly.
Highly recommended by the recording artist himself, the song "Yūdachi" was released as a single prior to the album. It features an arrangement reminiscent of "Sympathy for the Devil" by The Rolling Stones. Because of the contribution for the song, an arranger Katz Hoshi won the 16th Japan Record Awards for "Best Arrangement" category.
Like a predecessor, Nishoku no Koma also reached the top on the Japanese Oricon Weekly LP charts, and remained there for ten consecutive weeks.

Gek Poh MRT station
Gek Poh MRT station is a future elevated Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station along the Jurong Region line in Jurong West, Singapore.
History
On 9 May 2018, LTA announced that Gek Poh station would be part of the proposed Jurong Region line (JRL). The station will be constructed as part of Phase 1, JRL (West), consisting of 10 stations between Choa Chu Kang, Boon Lay and Tawas, and is expected to be completed in 2027.
Contract J107 for the design and construction of Gek Poh station and associated viaducts was awarded to Sembcorp Design and Construction Pte Ltd at a sum of. Construction will start in 2020, with completion in 2027. Contract J107 also includes the design and construction of Tawas, and associated viaducts.
Initially expected to open in 2026, the restrictions on the construction due to the COVID-19 pandemic has led to delays in the JRL line completion, and the date was pushed to 2027.
In the early morning of 4 January 2024, a 27-year-old construction worker was injured when he fell from an unfinished platform. The worker was brought to Ng Teng Fong General Hospital where he died from his wounds. Work at the station site was halted while safety procedures were reviewed at all LTA construction sites.
Location
The station complex will be straddled over the existing Jurong West Street 75, between the junction with Jurong West Street 74, and the junction with Jurong West Avenue 5 and Jurong West Street 82. It is located within the Jurong West planning area in the Yunan Subzone, nested by multiple housing estates, with Gek Poh Shopping Centre and Gek Poh Ville Community Club to the north.
Access to the station will be via 3 exits on each side of Jurong West Street 75. | WIKI |

How To
How To
Google Chrome is the most widely used and popular web browser on the planet. Chrome is compatible with every operating system. When compared to other platforms, it has a lot of functionality.
Chrome has a user-friendly UI as well. However, when using Chrome, we may run into some problems. They could be caused by the app’s settings, cache files, troubleshooting issues, or something else.
ERR_CACHE_MISS is the error code. It has the words “Confirm form resubmission” on it. When we enter data, an issue happens; it either asks us to reenter the data or it uses old data.
How To
How To
The most common error that happens with Chrome is discussed here.
This mistake can be caused by a variety of factors. Let us try to figure out why this is happening and how to fix it.
How Do I Fix Google Chrome ERR_CACHE_MISS Error
Now, let’s have a look at nine simple ways to fix the problem on Google Chrome. They’re –
Method 1: Delete all data from your browser
If you use your browser for an extended period of time without clearing its data, damaged files in your browser cache are likely to be the major offenders.
As a result, we’ll need to remove all of Chrome’s problematic files. As a result, follow the steps below to clear Google Chrome’s data.
Step 1: In Chrome’s address box, type “chrome:/settings” and press Enter. Then you’ll be sent to Chrome’s settings window. Chrome settings can also be found in the Chrome menu, which is located in the top right corner. Three dots are used to depict the menu bar.
Step 2: After the settings tab has appeared, type clear browsing data or go to the privacy and security tab to find it. Select Clear Browsing Data from the drop-down menu.
Step 3: A dialogue window with a few options will display. Select all of them and then press the clear data option.
Step 4: Finally, use your browser by refreshing it. This may be the solution to the problem.
Method 2: Examine the Extensions in Your Browser
In some cases, the extensions you installed for your browser may cause websites to stop working. As a result, we must attempt to disable them. We have three options for doing so.
Step 1: Go to the address bar and type “chrome:/extensions” or tap the symbol on the right side of the search bar, or go to the menu bar and click on the additional tools option, then the extensions option.
Step 2: Toggle the deactivate button to turn off all of the extensions in your browser.
Step 3: Restart Google Chrome and try to access the website again.
It’s best to leave the extensions disabled if you want to experiment with different techniques.
Method 3: Reset Your Browser
If the problem remains after trying the aforementioned techniques, you will need to reset your browser. If you use this method, however, all of the data in the browser will be erased.
As a result, make sure you’ve backed up all of your crucial data. The procedures for resetting your browser are as follows.
Step 1: In the Google Chrome address box, type “chrome:/settings” and press Enter.
Step 2: Chrome settings will appear on a new page. Now, scroll down to the bottom of the page to the advanced option.
Step 3: Select the Reset option and wait a few moments. The browser will automatically reset.
Step 4: Now, in the taskbar, cancel all of your browser tasks and try to open the page again.
Method 4: Turn off Prompt Reposting
The problem isn’t on your end; there must be an issue with the website you’re trying to access.
This issue could be related to coding or PHP difficulties. Disabling the prompt repost is another approach to fixing the problem. The steps to accomplish so are as follows:
Step 1: Right-click on the Chrome icon on your desktop shortcuts and select Properties.
Step 2: Next, select the properties option from the list that appears at the bottom.
Step 3: A new tab will appear on your screen. Select the shortcut option on that tab.
Step 4: In the target section, you’ll notice some text. Following the existing content, type the following text.
-disable-prompt-on-repost
Step 5: Next, select the apply option, then the ok option. This will store the modifications you’ve made.
Check to see whether the issue still occurs.
Method 5: Delete the Cache Line from the PHP Header
If the PHP code is the source of the problem, we’ll need to address it. Open the form in PHP code to do so. In the PHP code, there will be a header section.
It goes like this:
header(‘Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate, max-age=0’); header(‘Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate, max-age=0’);
Remove the word “no-store” from the preceding line.
header(‘Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate, max-age=0’); header(‘Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate, max-age=0’);
Now save your changes and try to open the website again.
Method 6: Make sure your browser is up to date
If the problem persists after attempting all of the above techniques, update your browser.
To upgrade your browser, follow the steps below:
Step 1: Three dots can be found in Chrome’s top right corner. When you click in, a menu will appear.
Step 2: Go to help and select “About Google Chrome” from the drop-down menu.
Step 3: A dialogue box displaying the Chrome version you’re using will appear. There will be an alert if you are using an older version.
So, by clicking on update, you can try to update your browser. After that, try the techniques listed below to gain access to the website.
Method 7: Turn off the cache system
You should try to disable the cache system after ensuring that your browser is up to date. If you disable it, it will only be disabled in developer mode.
It will function normally if you open it again. Follow the instructions below to turn off the Cache system.
Step 1: Go to the additional tools option in the Chrome browser’s menu options.
Step 2: Select Developers’ Tools from the drop-down menu. There will be a dialogue box that appears.
Step 3: Now, at the top of the dialogue box, tap the settings option.
Step 4: Select Preferences from the drop-down menu. Look for Disable Cache in the list of options. Also, make sure that box is checked.
Method 8: Reset Network Settings
After you’ve updated your browser, use the Command prompt on your Windows OS to reset your network settings.
To reset network settings, you’ll need an administrator account. By typing cmd into the Task Field’s search bar, you may access the command prompt and run it as an administrator.
After you’ve opened the window, type the commands below and hit enter after each one.
/release ipconfig
/all ipconfig
/flushdns ipconfig
/renew ipconfig
set dns netsh int ip
reset winsock netsh
Restart your computer and see if the website loads.
Method 9: Experiment With Different Browsers
If the webpage still does not open in your Chrome browser after attempting all of these techniques, try opening it in another browser.
We have a few browsers installed by default in the Windows Operating System, such as Firefox, Microsoft Edge, and Internet Explorer. Open the webpage in one of the browsers listed below.
If it is opening, then Chrome is to blame. If it won’t open, it’s safe to assume there isn’t a problem on your end. The supplied website’s Web Developers must resolve the issue on their end.
Conclusion
These are a few options for dealing with the ERR_CACHE_MISS error. Fortunately, we can solve the problem using the methods described above.
All we have to do now is remove Chrome’s browsing history, upgrade the browser, wipe the cache, or reset the network settings. To access the website, any of the solutions may work.
However, there are situations when the developer is to blame. In that situation, we might not be able to access the website. They must find a solution to the problem.

Vasco da Gama Tower
The Vasco da Gama Tower (Torre Vasco da Gama, ) is a 145 m lattice tower with skyscraper in the civil parish of Parque das Nações, the municipality of Lisbon, in Portugal. Built on the north bank of the Tagus river, it is named after the Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama (the first European to arrive in India by sail, in 1498). The tower portion is the tallest structure in Lisbon.
History
The tower was built in 1998 for the Expo '98 World's Fair. At the base of the tower was a three-story building that served as the European Union Pavilion during the Expo.
While they were open, the tower was the tallest structure in Portugal open to the public (excluding bridges).
The base of the building was to be leased for office space after the closing of the Expo, but never found tenants. Instead, it was used for one-off events, like the world premiere of the new Mini car in 2001.
Both the observation deck and the restaurant were closed in October 2004.
In 2006, the tower was climbed by Alain Robert, a solo urban climber, who was sponsored by Optimus Telecommunications (a Portuguese mobile phone company) as part of a mobile marketing campaign.
Parque Expo received permission to expand along the riverside in order to build a 20-floor, 178-room luxury hotel, a plan by Portuguese architect Nuno Leónidas. The base of the tower was demolished between July and September 2007, paving the way for the construction of the 5-star Myriad hotel, which opened in 2012. In 2018, the panoramic restaurant Fifty Seconds (by Martín Berasategui) opened in the space that was previously the observation deck. Within a year, it received its first Michelin star.
Architecture
The architects of the tower were Leonor Janeiro, Nick Jacobs and SOM (Skidmore, Owings and Merrill) and assembled by engineering company Martifer.
The architects were inspired by the form of a caravel and its sail, supported by fundamental volumes at its base. This base, enters the river like the bow of the boat, supported by pillars forming a terrace. This area is occupied by exposition spaces and vestibule with access to panoramic elevators that intersperse the tower to the restaurant and viewing platform. The tower is defined by a vertical "mast" and a metallic, tubular "sail", surmounted by a 120 m platform forming a "crow's nest", corresponding to the rotating restaurant and visitors viewing area. | WIKI |

This newly-split species has a small range and there have been relatively few recent records, therefore its total population is estimated to be small. It is thought that all subpopulations are likely to be very small, and the species inferred to be undergoing a continuing population decline owing to habitat and loss and degradation, driven primarily by agricultural expansion, logging, mining and urban development. For these reasons it has been classified as Vulnerable.
Population justification
The global population size has not been quantified owing to recent taxonomic splits, but given the small range and lack of recent records there may well be fewer than 10,000 mature individuals: a preliminary estimate therefore places the population within the band 2,500-9,999 mature individuals.
Trend justification
The population is suspected to be decreasing owing to ongoing habitat loss and degradation, particularly at lower altitudes.
Distribution and population
C. strictus (incorporating kangeanensis) appears to be known only from eastern Java and Bali, Indonesia (Winkler et al. 1995); however, Collar (2011) implies that it is known from much of Java except the north-west, where C. guttacristatus chersonesus is present. There are apparently few recent records of C. strictus (Winkler et al. 1995), although Baluran National Park seems to be an important site for the species (e.g. Robson 2008).
Ecology
For the pre-split C. lucidus (incorporating the present species) listed habitats suggests a fairly high tolerance of habitat modification (Winkler et al. 1995, del Hoyo et al. 2002); however, surveys on Java provide evidence that at least one of the Javan taxa in the C. lucidus complex is amongst those lowland forest species on the island that are most susceptible to fragmentation (Lambert and Collar 2002, citing data collected by B. van Balen).
Threats
On Java, most forest below 1,000 m, and in some areas up to 1,500 m, has been cleared (van Balen et al. 2011). Habitat and loss and degradation is driven primarily by agricultural expansion, logging, mining, development and uncontrolled fire, even within protected areas.
Conservation actions
Conservation and research actions underway
No targeted actions are known. The species occurs in Baluran National Park.
Conservation and research actions proposed
Clarify the range on Java and its persistence on Bali and the Kangean Islands. Obtain a population estimate. Determine its precise ecological requirements and its ability to persist in degraded and fragmented habitats. Ensure the effective protection of existing protected areas in which it occurs.
Identification
c. 28-34cm. A striking woodpecker with yellowish-golden upperparts, thick black post-ocular stripe through the ear coverts to the hindneck and broad white supercillium. Females have a bright yellow crown and crest, which is red in the male. Similar spp. C. guttacristatus is larger, has much more extensive red on the rump and the female has a black crown and crest spotted with white.

‘Our Idiot Brother’ Casts Doubt at Reliability of Roosters
Our Idiot Brother,starring Paul Rudd as the idiot, is actually full of idiots. Rudd’s character Ned is an organic farmer. One of his fellow (idiot) farmers oversleeps one day and blames the rooster at the farm, claiming that it did not crow, probably because it was “depressed.”
This made us wonder: Do roosters always crow at dawn? And if they don’t, why not? William Stricklin, an associate professor in the Department of Animal and Avian Sciences at University of Maryland who specializes in animal behavior, had answers for our crowing questions.
Why do roosters crow?
Roosters crow to communicate with other chickens—to the female hens but especially other competing males. Roosters are very territorial, Stricklin explains. Crowing sends a message to other roosters that the crower is “present, healthy and ready to defend his territory—in which live his harem of hens.”
Do roosters habitually crow at sunrise?
Roosters do not specifically crow at sunrise, but studies done by Nicholas and Elsie Collias, leading experts in domesticated chickens, have shown that they crow the most during the early morning hours. Though rooster experts aren’t sure why roosters are early crowers, Stricklin notes that between sunrise and noon, socially dominant roosters frequently mate with hens—then boast of their success by crowing very loudly and often. Data has shown that more conceptions tend to occur between these early morning hours, giving credence to the theory.
Another crowing theory suggests the rooster’s behavior is linked to his family tree. The domestic chicken is descended from the Red Jungle Fowl of Southeast Asia near the equator. Stricklin said the day lengths in these areas do not vary that much throughout the year and the fact that most domesticated chickens live in a very different part of the world now may affect when they start to crow. This may explain why some roosters crow before sunrise because North American days may start later. Stricklin also said crowing could potentially be connected to direct daylight, but a rooster’s behavioral pattern tends to be the same everyday and light doesn’t usually directly affect it.
If a rooster usually crows at dawn, what would cause him to skip a morning? Could it be … depression?
Though Stricklin would not speculate on the emotional well-being of a rooster, he did offer us some common reasons why a rooster may not crow:
a) He is not feeling healthy that morning
b) The early morning weather is overcast, and the relative darkness disrupts any light influence on his typical “time of first crowing.”
c) The rooster’s sleep pattern was disturbed during the night and he slept later than usual.
d) When he awoke the rooster sensed a potential predator threat and did not want to give away his location.
e) Testosterone levels influence crowing behavior and could decrease in roosters who lose fights to other roosters or in aging roosters.
Would relying on a rooster’s crow be the most effective way to get up in the morning?
“While rooster can serve to meet a number of useful purposes, a rooster is not altogether a reliable alarm clock!” says Stricklin.

Upgrade using the Magento composer root plugin
The magento/composer-root-update-plugin Composer plugin resolves changes that need to be made to the root project composer.json file before updating to a new Magento product requirement.
Basically, this section repeats the manual upgrade scenario with the only exclusion that you are guided to install the plugin to resolve the dependency conflicts instead of fixing them manually.
Before you begin
Refer to Prerequisites.
If you need to upgrade PHP, do so before proceeding with the following steps.
Backup composer.json
Backup the existing composer.json file in the Magento installation directory.
Install the plugin
1
composer require magento/composer-root-update-plugin=~1.0 --no-update
Update the dependencies:
1
composer update
Manage packages
Specify needed packages and remove any unneeded ones before proceeding with the upgrade.
Deactivate the Magento Open Source update (for edition upgrade only)
Optional—If you are upgrading from Magento Open Source to Magento Commerce, deactivate the Magento Open Source update:
1
composer remove magento/product-community-edition --no-update
Specify Magento packages
Indicate the Magento packages, both the edition (community or enterprise) and the version (2.3.2), that you want to upgrade to.
The first time you upgrade using the plugin, you can interactively view and update any out-of-date values that may be remaining from previous versions. To enable this, use the --interactive-magento-conflicts option on the composer require commands.
Use composer require --help to learn more about available options. To learn more about usage of the plugin, refer to the Plugin Usage.
Magento Open Source:
1
composer require magento/product-community-edition=2.3.2 --no-update
Magento Commerce:
1
composer require magento/product-enterprise-edition=2.3.2 --no-update
To see a full list of available 2.3 versions:
Magento Open Source:
1
composer show magento/product-community-edition 2.3.* --all | grep -m 1 versions
Magento Commerce:
1
composer show magento/product-enterprise-edition 2.3.* --all | grep -m 1 versions
Modify the Magento updater
Optional—If the Magento updater is installed (it is located in update/) modify it:
1. Backup update/ directory.
2. Create a Composer project.
Magento Open Source version 2.3.2:
1
composer create-project --repository=https://repo.magento.com magento/project-community-edition=2.3.2 temp_dir --no-install
Magento Commerce version 2.3.2:
1
composer create-project --repository=https://repo.magento.com magento/project-enterprise-edition=2.3.2 temp_dir --no-install
If you need to use a repository that contains non-public packages, such as internal sandboxes, change the URL in --repository accordingly.
3. Remove the old update/ directory and move the temp_dir/update/ to the update/ directory:
1
rm -rf update
1
mv temp_dir/update .
1
rm -rf temp_dir
Update metadata
Updating the metadata in the composer.json file is entirely superficial, not functional.
Update the "name", "version", and "description" fields in the composer.json file as needed.
Apply updates
1
composer update
Clean the Magento cache
After applying an update, you must clean the cache.
1
bin/magento cache:clean
Manually clear caches and generated content
Clear the var/ and generated/ subdirectories:
1
rm -rf var/cache/*
1
rm -rf var/page_cache/*
1
rm -rf generated/code/*
If you use cache storage other than the filesystem, such as Redis or Memcached, you must manually clear the cache there too.
Update the database schema and data
1
bin/magento setup:upgrade
Disable maintenance mode
1
bin/magento maintenance:disable
Restart Varnish
Optional—If you use Varnish for page caching, restart it:
1
service varnish restart
Check your work
Open your storefront URL in a web browser to check whether the upgrade was successful. If your upgrade was unsuccessful, your storefront will not load properly.
If the application fails with a We're sorry, an error has occurred while generating this email. error:
1. Reset file system ownership and permissions as a user with root privileges.
2. Clear these directories:
• var/cache
• var/page_cache
• generated/code
3. Check your storefront in your web browser again. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

spectral flux density
(S)
(flux or power of radiation per unit area per unit wavelength)
The spectral flux density (S) is a measure of the rate of electromagnetic-radiation-power passing through a unit area at a particular wavelength. It is commonly used in radio astronomy to characterize the power received per unit area of the antenna from an entire radio source. Thus from point sources, it is ideally consistent between antennas of different sizes. The common unit in astronomy is the jansky.
The term flux density is used similarly but over all wavelengths. It may be used specifically for all wavelengths detectable by a particular receiver or through a particular filter. Note that spectral flux density is sometimes shortened to flux density and both are sometimes shortened to flux, so paying attention to how the terms are being used is useful. For characterizing the brightness of portions of or points within a resolved (extended) source, surface brightness is typically used, which is effectively spectral flux density per region of the sky.

Pal Singh Purewal
Pal Singh Purewal (1931/1932 – 22 September 2022) was a Canadian engineer, author, scholar and a teacher. He was commonly known as the architect of the Mool Nanakshahi Calendar. He was also known as a role model in the Sikh community. He emigrated to the United Kingdom in 1965 and worked as a senior engineer at Texas Instruments. He moved to Canada in 1974. He has authored various research papers establishing the authenticity of the Sikh calendar since 1960s. His published texts include:
* Jantri 500 YEARS - An Almanac, published by Punjab School Education Board in November 1994
* Hijri Calendar - A book for which he received "lifetime achievement" award
In his coordinated effort with the Institute of Sikh Studies and after making efforts for several years with other prominent scholars, a proposal to implement and adopt a Sikh calendar, called Nanaksahi Calendar was introduced and was accepted by the Shiromani Gurdwara Prabandhak Committee in 1996. Subsequently, at the 300th anniversary of the Khalsa panth, it was released by the SGPC after passing a general house resolution in 1999 and accepted by the Akal Takht (in part) in 2003. This created controversy in the Sikh community. He introduced implementation of the Mool (original) Nanakshahi Calendar in 2017, which refers to the pre-altered version of the calendar introduced and first accepted in 1999 which permanently synchronized Mool Nanakshahi (religious) Calendar with Common Era (CE) Calendar. | WIKI |

Mitogen-activated protein kinase regulates nuclear association of human progesterone receptors

Abstract
Breast cancers often have increased MAPK activity; this pathway may drive breast cancer cell growth by targeting steroid hormone receptors. MAPK phosphorylates human progesterone receptors (PRs) on Ser294, thus regulating several aspects of PR activity. To study the role of PR Ser294 phosphorylation on subcellular distribution, we stably expressed wild-type (wt) or S294A (Ser294 to Ala) PR-B in several cell types. PRs phosphorylated on Ser294 were nuclear. Activation of MAPK induced Ser294 phosphorylation and rapid nuclear translocation of wt, but not S294A, PR-B; both receptors concentrated in the nucleus after progestin treatment. The MAPK kinase inhibitor, U0126, blocked epidermal growth factor but not progestin-induced Ser294 phosphorylation and translocation of wt PR, indicating a novel mechanism for nuclear localization. After progestin treatment, wt PR-B underwent ligand-dependent down-regulation, while S294A PR-B persisted in nuclei. Prolonged treatment with U0126 or the nuclear export inhibitor, leptomycin B, promoted nuclear accumulation of wt PR-B and blocked ligand-dependent PR down-regulation, suggesting that PR degradation occurs in the cytoplasm and requires MAPK-dependent nuclear export. Stabilization of PRs by leptomycin B also blocked PR transcriptional activity, indicating a link between nucleocytoplasmic shuttling, receptor stability, and function. These results support a regulatory role for MAPK in nuclear steroid hormone receptor subcellular localization and coupling to multiple PR functions.

514 which M. has rendered to this branch of astronomical science, have been acknowledged by the Royal Academy of Sciences at Paris adjudging to him a prize for the re-discovery of 's comet in 1818, and sharing between him and M. a prize for the comet discovered in January 1821.
Had equal diligence been devoted to this research by other observers at remote stations and in various climates, it is highly probable that a greater number of comets might have been detected in the last age; and it may be presumed, that increased vigilance in time to come will be recompensed with enlarged knowledge of comets, and with correspondent advancement in this branch of science.
The Council of the Astronomical Society, desirous of marking their sense of the services rendered by M., both in acknowledgement to him for his usefulness and with hope that his example may be followed by others, have resolved to present to him the silver medal of the Society; which accordingly I now do, in their name and in that of the Astronomical Society, as a token of the sense entertained of his indefatigable assiduity in that department of astronomy, and especially for the discovery of a comet on 31st May and another on 1st July, 1822. | WIKI |
The Mustang
The Mustang is a 2019 drama film written by Laure de Clermont-Tonnerre, Mona Fastvold, and Brock Norman Brock, and directed by Clermont-Tonnerre in her feature directorial debut. It stars Matthias Schoenaerts as an incarcerated inmate who participates in a rehabilitation program centered around training of wild horses. Jason Mitchell, Gideon Adlon, Connie Britton, and Bruce Dern appear in supporting roles. The Mustang is based on an actual rehabilitation program in Carson City, Nevada.
The film had its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival on January 31, 2019, and was released in the United States on March 15, 2019, by Focus Features.
Plot
Rounded up by helicopter, thousands of wild mustangs are taken from the wild to help reduce overpopulation. Of these, a few hundred are sent to prisons to be broken and later sold to support the program.
A psychologist interviews Roman Coleman in a Nevada prison he's been transferred to before they reinsert him into the general population. As he isn't good with people, she assigns him to outdoor maintenance. Roman's pregnant, teenaged daughter Martha gives Roman a surprise visit, asking to sign some papers. After, he tells her not to return.
Roman has been incarcerated for 12 years after leaving his domestic partner permanently brain damaged in an attack. Aware of his short temper and violent tendencies, he has resisted efforts to be reintegrated back into society.
While working maintenance, Roman is seen interacting with a 'dangerous' horse and thereby placed in the rehabilitation program run by rancher Myles that assigns prisoners with training wild mustangs. Each prisoner in the program is given a specific horse to train and they have 12 weeks to complete the training course so they can be sold at an auction.
Roman initially struggles with the training of his mustang, but under the guidance of Henry, an inmate regarded as the top horse trainer, he begins to make progress. As the weeks pass, Roman becomes close with the horse, whom he names Marquis, and forms a friendship with Henry.
Martha returns to get Roman's initials on every page. Discovering she's seeking emancipation to sell the house his mother left them for money to move to the east, he refuses. The anger he feels in that situation carries over into his horse training. Frustration with Marquis causes him to lose his temper, he punches the animal repeatedly which causes Myles to kick him out of the horse training program and into solitary confinement.
Before a thunderstorm strikes, the horse-training inmates are woken to take the horses undercover for safety. Roman redeems himself, both getting him out of solitary and returning him to the training program.
Once Roman has returned to his cell, his addict cellmate Dan blackmails him into smuggling horse tranquilizer like Henry. The program suffers a blow, however, when Dan murders Henry over the ketamine. Roman retaliates by strangling him unconscious before he calls in the guards.
The day of the auction arrives, which Roman invites the pregnant Martha to attend with the hope of improving their relationship. While Roman showcases Marquis to the auctioneers, he becomes distracted after he notices Martha is not present. This distraction leads to disaster when Marquis is startled by an overhead helicopter, causing Roman to fall off his horse and nearly be trampled as the other trainers restrain Marquis.
Shortly afterwards, Roman learns from Myles that Marquis has been deemed untrainable and will be euthanized. Taking advantage of the prison gates being damaged by the thunderstorm, Roman is able to help Marquis escape.
Some time later, Roman receives a letter from Martha acknowledging her father's refusal to leave prison. The letter also includes a photo of Martha with Roman's newly-born grandson, who she intends to have Roman meet during her next visit. After Roman finishes reading the letter, he spots Marquis standing by the prison fence and smiles.

Stone (font family)
The ITC Stone font family is a collection of typefaces designed by Sumner Stone, a typeface designer and graphic artist. It was created in 1987 with Bob Ishi when Stone was the Director of Typography at Adobe Systems. The font family includes fours different types: ITC Stone Serif, ITC Stone Sans, ITC Humanistic, and ITC Stone Informal. It was created with the intention that different styles could be mixed into one page.
Design
The design of the ITC Stone font family ensures that the font families can be used simultaneously within the same context. The way they interrelate is that they share the same cap height, lowercase x-height, and stem weights. The font is simple, legible, and modern.
History
Stone used pencil drawings to draft out the Stone font family, which included versions Serif, Sans, and Informal. He finished them using Adobe Illustrator. In 1992, the family was expanded by John Renner with "linguistic symbols used by the International Phonetic Association." In 2005, an additional version, ITC Stone Humanistic, was added. In 2011, Vladimir Yefimov added the Cyrillic version, which was released by ParaType, a font department of a company based in Moscow.
Subfamilies
Medium, semi-bold, and bold types are available in both roman and italic.

Introduction
When it comes to preparing content for the HMP, one of the frequently asked questions is "Can a web page be displayed on the HMP?" - before answering to this and similar questions, note you might not need to do that in the first place; make sure to check the common situations detailed below.
The HMP internal rendering engine is based on SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) which is better suited for displaying typical digital signage content than HTML is. Consequently, for the HMP200 and HMP130 models, it is not possible to enter the URL of a page / website within a media layer and have it displayed on the screen. The new HMP models, HMP300 and HMP350, are nevertheless able to display static and semi-static HTML pages.
Simple cases
Display a media from a web page
If you want to display an image / video from a web page, you have two options:
• Download that image / video and import it into your project.
• Display that image / video directly from the server - for that find the image / video address, add a media layer from the Edit panel, and enter the image / video address as the layer URI.
Display a video from YouTube
Videos from public sharing websites, like YouTube, Vimeo etc., cannot be replayed by the HMP directly from the source because these sites are using streaming protocols that are not supported by the HMP.
The workaround is to download the video(s) locally (using browser add-ons, extension etc.) and then import the video into your project / Fusion content.
Display static HTML content
If you want to display a static HTML page (like simple presentational websites) the best is to use the original file from your design application (e.g. Illustrator, Photoshop) and export it to SVG or save the graphical assets as PNG / JPEG images.
Static content can also be displayed using the web page layer, available within Elementi 2015 for HMP300 and HMP350 models.
Advanced cases
Display semi-static HTML content
For semi-static websites, which combine HTML code, JS / CSS animations, and eventually simple Ajax calls, like spinetix.com, the solution is to use the web page layer, available within Elementi 2015 for HMP300 and HMP350 models.
Display complex HTML content
Dynamic web sites, like those where all the content is generated through JavaScript, including the animations, using the web page layer might or might not work, depending on the capability of the Phantom.js library that we use, to render them.
Sites that offer streaming content (e.g., YouTube) do not work because they require real-time rendering of the page, while the web page layer is updated only every two seconds.
Display data from a web service
If you want to display data from a web service / API / data source, you can use the data feed feature - the HMP can connect to most data sources from the web using the data-driven widgets from Elementi.
You might want to check these tutorials as well:
Display data from a web page
If you want to display data some data from a web page and the data you are looking for is included into the page as pure text (and not generated upon rendering), you can use the data feed widgets from Elementi (or write some jSignage / JavaScript code if page is more complex) to retrieve the text content of the entire page, parse it (i.e. remove all the HTML tags and keep only the needed information) and display the results on the screen.
The HTML table widget is an example of such customization of the existing data feed widgets.

The fittings of the older library in the palace on the Isle de la Cité were to be taken down and altered, and set up in the new room. Two carpenters are paid for "having taken to pieces all the cases (bancs) and two wheels (roes), that is revolving desks, which were in the king's library in the palace, and transported them to the Louvre.…; and for having put all together again, and hung up the cases (lettrins) in the two upper stages of the tower that looks toward the Falconry, to put the king's books in; and for having panelled … the first of those two stories all round inside."

OPINION
VOLINN, Bankruptcy Judge:
The debtor in possession failed to make postpetition contributions to its employees’ health plans and pension funds in breach of its obligation under collective bargaining agreements (CBAs) with its unions. It sought and was granted an interim order pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 1113(e) providing prospective downscaling of benefits in four CBAs and sanctioning, nunc pro tunc, certain post-petition breaches. Subsequently, the court authorized the debtor to reject the CBAs. On appeal by one of the unions affected, we AFFIRM the interim order, but REVERSE and VACATE its retroactive effect; we AFFIRM the order authorizing rejection.
SUMMARY OF FACTS AND PROCEEDINGS BELOW
Hoffman Brothers Packing Co., Inc. (Hoffy), the debtor in possession, is a meat processing plant. Prior to bankruptcy, Hoffy had CBAs with four unions representing its employees. Appellant United Food and Commercial Workers Union, Local 770 (Local 770) is the only union to pursue these appeals.
The most recent CBA between Hoffy and Local 770 commenced on February 1, 1992 and remained effective until March 31, 1993. The CBA contained provisions relative to termination including an “evergreen clause” which would renew it automatically from year to year unless one party or the other took action to terminate it.
On January 29, 1993, Local 770 sent a written notice to Hoffy which stated:
In accordance with the provisions of the Agreement between your Company and UFCW Local 770, February 1, 1992-March 31,1993, Local 770 officially notifies you of the Union’s desire to enter into negotiations to alter and/or amend said Agreement. (Emphasis supplied.)
In subsequent bankruptcy litigation, this notice and its failure to use express termination language would become the focus of controversy as to whether the notice effectively terminated the CBA.
Hoffy filed a Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition on April 19, 1993. Hoffy’s stated intention for filing was to prevent its forced liquidation and to effect a “going concern” sale of the business. Over the course of the next month, Hoffy managed to shore up its customer base and inventory supply. It reduced management wages and benefits, effected management layoffs, and arranged new financing with its lender. It also did not make payments on its unions’ employee health and welfare benefits as agreed to in the CBA. These measures, while reducing the company’s losses, did not succeed in eliminating the operating deficit and producing a profit sufficient to make Hoffy an attractive marketing prospect.
Hoffy had stopped making payments to each unions’ health and pension funds prior to the bankruptcy filing date. Hoffy’s failure to fund the health insurance threatened to cause Local 770’s health insurance coverage to lapse on June 1, 1993. The coverage of Locals 501 and 63 lapsed one month earlier on May 1,1993. On May 25,1993, Hoffy met with the unions and asked them to approve its prior breaches, allow Hoffy to continue cuts in their pension benefits, and to change the unions’ health insurance coverage. The unions did not agree.
Without having come to an agreement with the unions, Hoffy unilaterally switched its workers to a different health plan, Maxicare, on June 1, 1993. The cost savings to the company were significant; however, under the Maxicare plan, the benefits were less than the agreed options provided in the CBAs.
On June 11, 1993, Hoffy filed a motion in the bankruptcy court for interim modification of the collective bargaining agreement (the § 1113(e) motion) asking for nunc pro tunc modification of the agreements allowing the change in health coverage and suspension of the pension payments. Hoffy contended that the modification was necessary to forestall liquidation. Local 770 contended that its January 29 notice had effected termination of the agreement, and therefore there was no contract for the court to modify. Local 770 adopted this position because it asserted that upon termination of the collective bargaining agreement, Hoffy remained statutorily bound under the Labor-Management Relations Act (LMRA) 29 U.S.C. §§ 151 et seq., to bargain in good faith with the union prior to altering its obligations under the agreement, and that this issue was within the jurisdiction of the NLRB, not the bankruptcy court. Hoffy responded that Local 770’s notice to amend did not effectively terminate the contract.
A hearing was held on June 28, 1993, and the court agreed with Hoffy. Finding that an emergency existed, the court granted Hoffy nunc pro tunc relief, although the court modified the order to provide health coverage for the union uncovered during May. Local 770 sought and was granted leave to appeal the order to the BAP.
During the course of the above proceedings, Hoffy and the unions met regarding other modifications to the agreements. Hoffy presented an initial list of 12 modifications. Subsequently, six more were added. (The proposals are discussed in more detail infra.) Significant proposals included reduction of senior wages and an end to the seniority system. On its part, Local 770 demanded that Hoffy agree to bind its successors to any new agreement. The parties did not come to terms, and Hoffy brought a motion for authorization to reject the collective bargaining agreements (the § 1113(c) motion).
On July 29, Local 770 filed charges against Hoffy with the NLRB for unfair labor practices. On August 30, 1993, the bankruptcy court heard argument on the motion to reject the CBAs. The court found that Hoffy had complied with the requirements of § 1113(e) by proposing necessary modifications and providing relevant information to the union, that the union had refused to accept the proposed modifications, that the unions’ refusal was without good cause, and that the balance of equities favored rejection. The court authorized Hoffy to reject the CBAs. The order was entered October 1, 1993, and Local 770 timely appealed. The BAP granted Local 770’s subsequent motion to consolidate the two appeals.
ISSUES PRESENTED
1.Whether the bankruptcy court was without jurisdiction under § 1113 to modify Local 770’s CBA or authorize Hoffy to reject it because the January 29 notice of the union’s desire to alter and/or amend the CBA terminated it as of March 31, 1993.
2. Whether § 1113(e) allows a bankruptcy court to order or approve nunc pro tunc unilateral post-petition breaches of a CBA by a debtor in possession.
3. Whether the court committed reversible error when it authorized rejection of the CBAs.
STANDARD OF REVIEW
In reviewing issues under § 1113, conclusions of law and questions of statutory interpretation are reviewed de novo; findings of fact are subject to the clearly erroneous standard. In re Maxwell Newspapers, Inc., 981 F.2d 85, 89 (2nd Cir.1992).
DISCUSSION
I. General Considerations
In NLRB v. Bildisco and Bildisco, 465 U.S. 513, 104 S.Ct. 1188, 79 L.Ed.2d 482 (1984), the Supreme Court faced the question whether a debtor company in a Chapter 11 bankruptcy could unilaterally reject a collective bargaining agreement, and whether doing so without first bargaining with the union constituted an unfair labor practice under the LMRA. The Supreme Court, while acknowledging unanimously that a CBA differed from other executory contracts, nevertheless held that a debtor could reject a CBA for business reasons under § 365. The court majority stated that a bankruptcy court should “balance the equities” before authorizing rejection, but concluded that the debtor’s unilateral rejection of the CBA did not constitute an unfair labor practice under the LMRA, and that unilateral rejection of the CBA was effective as of the date of the bankruptcy. Labor, perceiving that bankruptcy could become a means for discarding CBAs without incurring liability under the LMRA, reacted intensely. Legislation by the Congress overturning Bildisco was proposed and opposed. As it happened, Congress, at the time, was urgently engaged in an effort to fill the bankruptcy void created by Northern Pipeline Const. Co. v. Marathon Pipe Line Co., 458 U.S. 50, 102 S.Ct. 2858, 73 L.Ed.2d 598 (1982), which held the existing system unconstitutional. The urgency was created by the impending expiration of the stop-gap interim rules which kept the bankruptcy system temporarily afloat. In the course of legislative give and take relative to dealing with labor’s problem and the need to reconstitute the bankruptcy system, § 1113, specifically treating collective bargaining agreements, became part of Chapter 11 of the new Code. It was not a tidy process. Passage of § 1113 was not accompanied by a committee report, and there is no dependable legislative history. For more detailed discussion of the background of § 1113, see In re Royal Composing Room, Inc., 848 F.2d 345, 352-54 (2nd Cir.1988), cert. denied, 489 U.S. 1078, 109 S.Ct. 1529, 103 L.Ed.2d 834 (1989); Wheeling-Pittsburgh Steel Corp. v. United Steelworkers of America, AFL-CIO-CLC, 791 F.2d 1074, 1081-84 (3rd Cir.1986).
The drafting of the statute has been criticized. See e.g., In re Mile Hi Metal Systems Inc., 899 F.2d 887, 898 (10th Cir.1990) (Seymour, C.J., concurring); In re Alabama Symphony Ass’n, 155 B.R. 556, 571 n. 32 (Bankr.N.D.Ala.1993). See also Daniel Keating, The Continuing Puzzle of Collective Bargaining Agreements in Bankruptcy, 35 William & Mary L.R. 503 (1994); Steven Kropp, Collective Bargaining in Bankruptcy: Toward an Analytical Framework for Section 1113, 66 Temple L.R. 697 (1993); Mitchell Rait, Rejection of Collective Bargaining Agreements Under Section 1113 of the Bankruptcy Code: The Second Circuit Enters the Arena, 63 Am.Bankr.L.J. 355 (1989); Douglas Bordewieck and Vern Countryman, The Rejection of Collective Bargaining Agreements by Chapter 11 Debtors, 57 Am.Bankr.L.J. 293 (1983).
It is clear that § 1113 was intended to overturn Bildisco’s 5-4 decision allowing unilateral rejection of a CBA by a Chapter 11 debtor, and to resolve the debate over the standard to be adopted for authorizing rejection by the court. Prior to Bildisco, two standards had been proposed. Brotherhood of Railway, Airline and Steamship Clerks v. REA Express, Inc., 523 F.2d 164 (2nd Cir.), cert. denied, 423 U.S. 1017, 96 S.Ct. 451, 46 L.Ed.2d 388 (1975) held the standard for rejection to be that failure to do so would clearly result in collapse of the debtor. A more permissive standard was followed in In re Brada Miller Freight System, Inc., 702 F.2d 890 (11th Cir.1983), where the test was held to be the equitable sharing of the burden of rejection. This was the standard applied in Bildisco, and specifically stated in § 1113(c) which also requires the debtor to engage in a good faith bargaining process as detailed in § 1113(b).
Under the LMRA, 29 U.S.C. § 158(d), the “obligation to bargain collectively,” mandates the obligation to confer in good faith, “but such obligation does not compel either party to agree to a proposal or require the making of a concession[.]” 29 U.S.C. § 158(d) subsections (1), (2), and (4) mandate that a unilateral modification cannot be made while a CBA remains effective until the party wishing to modify it: (1) gives a 60 day notice, (2) offers to meet and confer, and (4) continues to perform its current obligations during the 60 day period.
The LMRA prescription for bargaining in good faith appears to have been considered by Congress as a basis for the bargaining process under § 1113 in order to bring about a negotiated solution as an alternative to rejection by the debtor under § 365 on the sole basis of the conventional business judgment standard. Thus the gateway to rejection of a CBA is controlled by § 1113(c) which articulates a procedure requiring the debtor to engage in a meaningful bargaining process with the representative of the employees as a condition to requesting approval of rejection. The mechanics of this process are prescribed in § 1113(b).
Because Chapter 11 debtors not infrequently are in dire financial straits and in need of immediate aid, § 1113(e) allows the court to order interim modification of an agreement prior to and pending completion of the debtor negotiating with the union as directed in § 1113(b) and (c). This subsection allows a debtor to obtain temporary emergency dispensation from complying with the CBA pending its acceptance or rejection, “if essential to the continuation of the debt- or’s business, or in order to avoid irreparable damage to the estate.... ” The subsection requires review and authorization by the court, and does not dispense with the requirement to bargain prior to ultimate rejection of the agreement pursuant to § 1113(c). As indicated, changes under § 1113(e) are “interim” and as provided in § 1113(f), “[n]o provision of this title shall be construed to permit a trustee to unilaterally terminate or alter any provisions of a collective bargaining agreement prior to compliance with the provisions of this section,” an all-inclusive reference to the whole of § 1113 as well as title 11 of the Bankruptcy Code.
It is apparent that § 1113 authorizes a bankruptcy court to authorize rejection of a CBA provided that a good faith bargaining effort takes place. Likewise, the bankruptcy court may authorize, depending on economic necessity, interim departures from the terms of the CBA. These actions by a bankruptcy court necessarily cause a limited displacement of the jurisdiction of the NLRB, and, to this extent, the orders of the bankruptcy court will preclude issues resolved in its orders from being brought before or acted upon by the NLRB. The issues of retroactivity of the interim order and the propriety of the rejection order will be the primary subjects of discussion herein. We do not consider that issues within the jurisdiction of the NLRB relating to alleged pre-bankruptcy breaches of the CBAs, or post-petition breaches prior to bankruptcy court approval under § 1113(e) relative to interim relief (for the reasons indicated infra) are before us.
II. Pre-Bankruptcy Termination of the CBA by Notice
Local 770 has staked a considerable part of its ease on the bankruptcy court’s alleged lack of jurisdiction to deal with its CBA by virtue of its January 29 notice to Hoffy. Because the CBA was terminated prior to bankruptcy, the argument goes, there is no contract under § 1113 for the court to modify or for Hoffy to accept or reject under § 365. The union then insists that despite termination of the contract, Hoffy is required by the LMRA to bargain to impasse before it can make any unilateral changes.
Local 770’s position is based on the LMRA’s requirement that when a CBA has expired, the parties must adhere to the status quo ante while “bargaining to impasse.” Laborers Health and Welfare Trust Fund for Northern Cal. v. Advanced Lightweight Concrete Co., Inc., 484 U.S. 539, 544 n. 6, 108 S.Ct. 830, 833 n. 6, 98 L.Ed.2d 936 (1988) (quoting NLRB v. Katz, 369 U.S. 736, 742-43, 82 S.Ct. 1107, 1111, 8 L.Ed.2d 230 (1962)). “Freezing the status quo ante after a collective agreement has expired promotes industrial peace by fostering a non-coercive atmosphere that is conducive to serious negotiations on a new contract.” Katz at 742-43, 82 S.Ct. at 1111. Assuming then that the union’s contention of termination is correct, in a non-bankruptcy setting, the debtor would have the right to modify the terms after the contract expired only after it has bargained to impasse.
The relevant CBA provision, paragraph XXIX, addresses only a “written notice of termination.” The union’s letter to Hoffy speaks only to “negotiations to alter and/or amend.” The union attempts to reconcile these divergent terms by contending that because the contract does not provide for amendment or alteration, and since significant displacement or replacement of the original contract terms is implicit in the notion of such change, the only conclusion that can follow is that the letter was directed to termination. However, the terms amendment or alteration differ literally and conceptually from termination. Amendment or alteration, whether major or minor, connote survival and continuation to a greater or lesser degree of the original subject matter. Termination, once it occurs, means that its subject matter no longer exists. There is nothing left to negotiate, let alone alter or amend. Presumably the union knew how to use the word “terminate,” particularly since the term was used in the notice provision of the CBA. It chose not to.
The union should be bound not only by the language it chose to use but also by what it chose to omit. In this context the ease of KCW Furniture, Inc. v. NLRB, 634 F.2d 436 (9th Cir.1980) is relevant: the contract in question referred to ending its term by termination or negotiation. In a notification as to dealing further with the contract, the latter term “negotiation” was used. The court held that selection of the process of negotiation did not give notice of termination.
We consider appellant’s argument an empty semantic exercise not only for the foregoing reason, but also because the terms of a CBA status quo ante continue in effect until an impasse has been reached because the LMRA so mandates. Until such impasse, the agreement continues “in effect,” as recognized by § 1113(e), and it is implicit in § 1113(c), since the basic purpose of § 1113 is meant to grant ultimate jurisdiction to the bankruptcy court to accept, modify, or otherwise alter or terminate the status quo ante rights and obligations between a debtor employer and its employees, whether they are established under a currently existing CBA or pursuant to the LMRA. It is also clear that prior to modification or rejection, the conditions of § 1113 must be followed.
As indicated, the contract before us also continued on by virtue of the LMRA, which provides that the mandatory terms in a CBA will continue on after termination while the parties bargain to impasse. If the union’s notice had in fact effectively terminated the CBA, this situation existed on the date of bankruptcy. There is no conflict between the LMRA provision for subsistence of a contract after its expiration and § 1113 of the Bankruptcy Code which provides for bargaining under the auspices of the bankruptcy court.
It is plain that at bottom the union is of the view that the NLRB should be the sole arbiter of labor relations matters. However, “The plain meaning of a statute is ordinarily dispositive unless that meaning is contrary to the legislature’s intent or would lead to absurd results.” U.S. v. $191, 910.00 in U.S. Currency, 16 F.3d 1051, 1067 (9th Cir.1994). The drafters of § 1113 clearly meant to grant jurisdiction to the bankruptcy court to modify or otherwise alter the status quo ante rights and obligations between a debtor employer and its employees whether they exist under a currently existing CBA or are carried over by agreement or pursuant to the LMRA. To eliminate bankruptcy court jurisdiction or provide for parallel or overlapping jurisdiction by two tribunals would lead to confusion, conflict and costly delay.
III. Interim Modification Under § 1113(e)
On June 11, 1993, some seven weeks after bankruptcy, Hoffy filed a motion in the bankruptcy court pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 1113(e) requesting emergency interim modification of the CBAs, and asking the court to authorize, nunc pro tunc as of the April 19 Sling date, its unilateral breach of the health and welfare benefit provisions of the CBA. Hoffy contended that the modifications were necessary to forestall immediate liquidation.
The court heard argument on the motion on June 28, 1993 and agreed with Hoffy. Finding that an actual emergency existed, the court granted Hoffy nunc pro tunc relief, modifying the terms of the CBA to abrogate Hoffy’s pension obligations as of the date of filing of the petition, April 19,1993. In order to provide continuity of health coverage for members of Locals 501 and 63 who were not covered during May, the court allowed retroactive relief for Hoffy’s health insurance obligation only back to June 1, 1993. The order was entered July 30, 1993, and Local 770 sought and was granted leave to appeal the order to the BAP.
The parties do not dispute that Hoffy’s interim modifications to the CBA were “essential to the continuation of the debtor’s business-” 11 U.S.C. § 1113(e). As no other basis for modification is necessary, we can affirm the court’s order of modification.
Local 770’s primary objection to the § 1113(e) order is the order’s retroactive effect. Pursuant to § 1113(f), “No provision of this title shall be construed to permit a trustee to unilaterally terminate or alter any provisions of a collective bargaining agreement prior to compliance with the provisions of this section” (emphasis supplied).
Hoffy’s failure to perform its pension and health insurance obligations without the unions’ consent and prior to court approval was a unilateral act, and as such, strictly prohibited by § 1113(f). It is contended, however, that the bankruptcy court’s authority to effect nunc pro tunc relief derives generally from its equitable power under § 105, and that this grant of equitable jurisdiction is not precluded by the language of § 1113(f).
Under a plain meaning analysis, we start with the language of the statute itself. U.S. v. Ron Pair Enterprises, Inc., 489 U.S. 235, 241, 109 S.Ct. 1026, 1030, 103 L.Ed.2d 290 (1989). Section 1113(e) authorizes “interim” relief, with an implication of temporary or transient change. Section 1113(f) provides that no provision “of this title” shall be construed to permit a trustee to unilaterally terminate or alter any provisions of a CBA “prior to compliance with the provisions of this section.” This mandate necessarily includes the provision of § 1113(e) that permissible modifications may be authorized by the court only “after notice and a hearing.” Retroactive modification would by-pass and nullify the foregoing requirements which are fundamental to the purpose of § 1113.
Section 1113(e) is a provision which allows, in the case of emergency, a temporary departure from the regular course of the Code as prescribed by § 1113(b) and (c). Any interim remedy provided by § 1113(e) is subject to the requirement of an application for rejection as set out in subsections (b) and (c) and an order thereon. Thus whatever changes may result can only be “interim.”
Aside from plain language considerations, policy considerations relating to § 1113 should not permit a debtor, unilaterally and without prior authority of the court, to seek condonation of its unauthorized post-petition breach. It would invite Chapter 11 debtors (who have not already done so) to unilaterally breach their CBAs, allow a considerable period of time to go by (the period of time in this case was not insignificant), and then seek absolution from a breach by requesting retroactive relief by the trial court. In this particular case, a considerable period of time need not have elapsed. The debtor knew on the day it filed its petition that it was already delinquent in the payment of health and welfare benefits and that its delinquency promised to continue. There is no reason why it could not have filed immediately a motion for relief under § 1113(e). Instead it delayed and then requested relief which would not only be prospective, but by virtue of the request for nunc pro tunc relief, would retroactively legitimize its unilateral breach of a contract to which the debtor in possession was committed. The debtor in possession as trustee of the estate wanted to maintain going-concern value. This goal could not be accomplished without employees, whose expectations under the CBA cannot be impaired without first employing the procedure prescribed by § 1113, which provides for prospective, not retroactive relief. To give § 1113(e) relief permanent effect by allowing it to reach back can only thwart the letter and spirit of § 1113.
The broad grant of power in § 105 does not provide an escape hatch. Section 105 must in all cases be carefully construed so as to implement and fit the specific provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. It should not be used for ventures beyond direct or immediate implementation of orders or judgments entered pursuant to provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.
It is true that bankruptcy courts sit as courts of equity. However, a fundamental principle of equity jurisprudence is that “equity follows the law.” Courts of equity are bound to follow express statutory commands to the same extent as are courts of law.... Bankruptcy courts are no more entitled to ignore the law than are other courts of equity.
In re Shoreline Concrete Co., Inc., 831 F.2d 903, 905 (9th Cir.1987) (internal citations omitted).
The transcript of the hearing indicates that the court intended to defer requiring the debtor to immediately cure its breach rather than to destroy the unions’ right to an administrative claim therefor. The court in its oral statement reserved determination of the nature of any claims. However, by its terms the order does not provide for such a reservation and could be read to extinguish these claims. Thus the retroactive aspect of the interim order must be reversed so that the unions may be permitted to file administrative claims for their members’ postpetition unpaid benefits accruing prior to entry of the court-ordered modification.
IV. Rejection Under § 1113(c)
A preliminary question arises as to whether or not a debtor who proposes to sell the business free and clear of a collective bargaining agreement can be said to be bargaining in good faith. To put it otherwise, can a debtor file a Chapter 11 liquidation plan which contemplates sale of all its assets to another party who, effectively, will not be bound by any collective bargaining agreement which may be arrived at with the debt- or in possession?
It is probable that Hoffy will command a higher sale price if it is sold as a going concern rather than auctioned off piecemeal and that a going-concern Hoffy is more salable without the perceived economic disadvantages of the CBAs. It is arguable that such a procedure, being tantamount to liquidation of the business, may be incompatible with § 1113. It is not as if the debtor has no other alternative. The debtor could file under Chapter 7, and a trustee could operate the business pending sale. But here the debtor chose Chapter 11 and selected a course which by emphasizing economic necessity and the need to disengage without qualification from the CBA in order to get a better sale, seems at odds with § 1113. Under these circumstances, there is some credibility to appellant’s contention that the debt- or could not and did not deal with the union in good faith. This problem was considered in one of a trilogy of cases in the Second Circuit. In re Maxwell Newspapers, Inc., 149 B.R. 334 (S.D.N.Y.1992), the court faced a similar circumstance where the debtor proposed the sale of a newspaper as a going concern. The court found the distinction between reorganization of a debtor and the sale of a going concern asset to a third party to be irrelevant to considerations under § 1113, based on Chapter ll’s goal of continuing the enterprise, regardless of the ownership. We agree, and hold that § 1113 does not preclude rejection of CBAs where the purpose or plan of the debtor is to liquidate by a going concern sale of the business.
In order to reject a collective bargaining agreement under § 1113(c), a debtor must demonstrate that:
(1) the trustee has, prior to the hearing, made a proposal that fulfills the requirements of subsection (b)(1);
(2) the authorized representative of the employees has refused to accept such proposal without good cause; and
(3) the balance of the equities clearly favors rejection of such agreement.
Subsection (b)(1) mandates that a debtor shall:
(A) make a proposal to the authorized representative of the employees covered by such agreement, based on the most complete and rehable information available at the time of such proposal, which provides for those necessary modifications in the employees’ benefits and protections that are necessary to permit the reorganization of the debtor and assures that all creditors, the debtor and all of the affected parties are treated fairly and equitably; and
(B) provide ... the representative of the employees with such relevant information as is necessary to evaluate the proposal.
The debtor must demonstrate that it has made a proposal for “necessary” modifications that are “necessary” for reorganization, 11 U.S.C. § 1113(b)(1)(A), and which assures that all creditors are treated “fairly and equitably.” Id. The court may authorize rejection only if the union refuses to accept the debtor’s proposal “without good cause.” 11 U.S.C. § 1113(c)(2).
During the course of these proceedings, Hoffy presented to the union an initial list of 12 modifications. By letter dated June 24, 1993, Hoffy outlined its proposals and stated they were “absolutely essential.” Significant proposals included reduction of senior wages and an end to the seniority system for layoffs and overtime. Hoffy’s letter then stated:
The modifications outlined below are interdependent; the amendment or exclusion of any one or more of these modifications would force Hoffman to reconsider the whole package and would likely result in the introduction of certain additional modifications which it has not so far proposed.
Local 770 refused to accept Hoffy’s 12 proposals. On August 9, Hoffy added six additional proposals. Local 770 responded to Hoffy’s 18 proposals by letter on August 12, rejecting 11 of them and stating its reasons for rejecting them. Local 770 also took the position that Hoffy would have to agree to bind its successor to any new CBA and to assume liability in the event the successor refused to be bound. The original CBA did not contain such a clause. The parties did not come to terms, and Hoffy brought a motion for authorization to reject the CBAs pursuant to § 1113(c).
In all, Hoffy offered 18 proposed modifications, some of which clearly meet the § 1113(b) standard of “necessary” modifications “necessary” to the reorganization, i.e. wage rollbacks, elimination of pension funding, and less expensive health insurance. These are straightforward dollar issues. Other proposed modifications are problematic, such as elimination of dues checkoff and seniority, and requiring the union to ratify the debtor’s unilateral changes, in essence stipulating to dismissal of its NLRB complaint. These modifications for the most part, while arguably non-eeonomic, were found by the court to be related to the economic benefit of the debtor. This finding is not clearly erroneous.
On the other hand, Local 770 could not tell the court that it made any concessions to Hoffy on its unobjectionable proposals. The union refused to agree to many of the proposed modifications and demanded incorporation of successor liability into any agreement. The parties agree that without such a clause, any new buyer, while not bound by Hoffy’s contract with the union, would nevertheless be required to bargain with it pursuant to the LMRA. This, coupled with the fact that the debtor offered in its letter of June 24, 1993 to furnish the name of the purchaser once meaningful negotiations produced one, places the parties more or less in the same position as with the original CBA provision, Article XXVII, relative to change of ownership. Thus, the union’s insistence on this added provision created a gratuitous impediment to the debtor’s prospects for reorganization.
Hoffy also proposed that the union ratify Hoffy’s unilateral failure to pay the health and pension funds. Local 770 asserts that this proposal is per se illegal. In the ease of In re Mile Hi Metal Systems, Inc., 67 B.R. 114 (D.Colo.1986), the district court vacated and remanded approval of rejection ruling that the court clearly erred by failing to consider the legality of some of the debt- or’s proposals. The Tenth Circuit vacated, In re Mile Hi Systems, Inc., 899 F.2d 887 (10th Cir.1990), holding that rejection was not per se invalid even if some of the proposals were illegal.
CONCLUSION
I. Rejection of the CBA.
Local 770 contends that the court’s findings are clearly erroneous because of the refusal of the debtor to bargain in good faith as evidenced by the debtor’s insistence on non-economic provisions discussed above. Even though we may view many of these proposals and the manner in which they were made as stringent, therefore giving the union good cause to negotiate, the union failed to establish that it made constructive counter-proposals.
The court entered extensive findings of fact. The court in a brief oral closing statement considered rejection appropriate because the union and the debtor had come to impasse stating:
... this is really not an easy decision but I think for the survival of the debtor as well as these employees, and I can understand, that is why my job is easier in a sense, because clearly either the union or the debtor don’t want to give away anything and I clearly understand the negotiating postures and that’s why, I guess, my job in a sense is easier because I have to look at the entire picture. So I do think that this is — that rejection is appropriate.
Clearly the parties are going to have to work — in particular the management’s going to have to deal with the union fairly at this' point even though they will be — the union employees will not be getting what they had before, but if there is a problem there will be no business because the union will just walk out. So, in any case, I just want you to understand that I understand the significance of this and these are very difficult things and rejection of it is not an easy matter for me to do but I will do it
The court entered findings setting forth the sequence of the negotiations between the debtor and the union, as well as summaries of the proposals made or exchanged at the various negotiating sessions in detail, and concluded that the balance of the equities favored rejection. Considering the court’s findings and conclusions in the light of the record, we cannot conclude that the court’s findings are clearly erroneous or that its conclusions are improper.
All things considered, particularly the failing condition of the debtor, and the benefit to all concerned if Hoffy could survive, the court had enough facts before it to justify the conclusion that the equities of the case warranted rejection of the CBA. The court’s order authorizing rejection of the CBA therefore is affirmed.
II. The Order of Modification Under § 1113(e).
Section 1113 grants the bankruptcy court jurisdiction to authorize alteration of the relationship of the parties to a CBA. However, § 1113 must be interpreted to require the debtor to bargain with the union and either gain its consent or the consent of the court before it initiates any unilateral changes in its relationship during bankruptcy. Nunc pro tunc interim modification pending rejection is impermissible in the light of the cautionary language of § 1113(e) and (f). We AFFIRM the prospective aspect of the interim order of modification but REVERSE its nunc pro tunc effect. We hold that the order is effective prospectively between the date of its entry on July 30, 1993 and the date of the order rejecting the CBA entered on October 1, 1993. Only those breaches subsequent to court approval are immune from the LMRA and may be deemed general unsecured claims. We REMAND for the entry of an order assigning priority administrative status to claims arising in the period between the date of bankruptcy, April 19, 1993 and the date of the § 1113(e) order, July 30, 1993, based on the CBA provisions.
. The unions are: United Food and Commercial Workers, Local 770; International Union of Operating Engineers, Local 501; Wholesale and Retail Food Distribution, Teamsters Local No. 63; and Teamsters Automotive Workers' Union, Local 495. Appellant Local 770 represents a majority of Hoffy's employees.
. Local 770 is joined by appellants Butcher and Provision Workers Pension Fund of Southern California and Southern California Provision Industry Health and Welfare Fruid.
. Paragraph XXIX of the CBA provided:
This agreement shall take effect on February 1, 1992, and shall continue in full force and effect until March 31, 1993, and from year to year thereafter unless terminated by either Party by written notice of termination sent by registered mail to the other not less than sixty (60) days prior to March 31, 1993, or prior to March 31st of any year thereafter. (Emphasis supplied.)
. 29 U.S.C. § 158. Unfair labor practices (LMRA § 8(a))
(a) Unfair labor practices by employer.
It shall be an unfair labor practice for an employer—
(1) to interfere with, restrain, or coerce employees in the exercise of the rights guaranteed in section 157 of this title; [§ 157 grants employees the right to bargain collectively.]
fs) to refuse to bargain collectively with the representatives of his employees, subject to the provisions of section 159(a) of this title. [§ 159(a) establishes the employee’s elected representative as the exclusive representative for collective bargaining.]
. In Laborers Health and Welfare Trust, the Supreme Court defined "impasse" as a “state of facts in which the parties, despite the best of faith, are simply deadlocked.” 484 U.S. 539, 544 n. 5, 108 S.Ct. 830, 833 n. 6 (internal quotations and cite omitted.)
. While the representative of the debtor in the case before us stated in writing to the union that the contract was terminated, in the absence of the debtor having acted in some manner responsive to termination, the letter is not conclusive. It is the bankruptcy judge's analysis that is decisive.
. "If during a period when the collective bargaining agreement continues in effect....” 11 U.S.C. § 1113(e) (emphasis added).
.The aggregate health and pension benefits cost the debtor an average of $98,000 per month for the 12 months prior to the hearing. The proposed health care change would save the debtor $67,000 per month, a reduction of more than two thirds. The coverage under the two plans and relative costs are compared in the record. The debtor’s postpetition arrearages under the CBAs were $114,116 ($83,028 for health and welfare; $31,088 for pension benefits).
. Hoffy cites as authority for its position a case that mentioned but denied possible nunc pro tunc relief. In re United Press International, Inc., 134 B.R. 507 (Bankr.S.D.N.Y.1991). The debtor asked the UPI court to grant nunc pro tunc approval of past unilateral wage reductions under § 1113(e). Labor had agreed to make wage concessions. The court denied retroactive modification of the wages "because of a failure of proof," and without any discussion of the issue. Id. at 515. This case is questionable authority at best; the court was not required to face the issue directly.
. See In re Tucson Yellow Cab Co., Inc., 789 F.2d 701 (9th Cir.1986), which, held that union employees were entitled to CBA benefits as an administrative expense for post-petition work.
. In re Maxwell Newspapers, Inc., 981 F.2d 85 (2nd Cir.1992), reversing in part In re Maxwell Newspapers, Inc., 149 B.R. 334 (S.D.N.Y.1992), reversing in part In re Maxwell Newspapers, Inc., 146 B.R. 920 (Bankr.S.D.N.Y.1992) (authorizing rejection of CBA).
. Maxwell is distinguishable from this case in that the union was engaged in § 1113 negotiations with the prospective purchaser, where here, there was no such purchaser in sight. However, the debtor itself was negotiating an agreement which would subsist pending a transfer; it also advised the union by letter dated June 24, 1993 that it would notify the union as to the identity of a bone fide prospective purchaser.
. The CBA merely required Hoffy to notify prospective owners of the CBA:
Article XXVII — Change in Ownership Section 1. In the event of a change of the ownership of the plant occurring for any reason, the Employer shall, nevertheless, remain liable for all monetary benefits that employees have accumulated under this Agreement up to the effective date of such change. The Employer agrees in the event of a proposed sale, lease or transfer, whether of the entire plant or a portion thereof, to notify the Union of such proposed sale, lease or transfer, prior to the finalizing of any such transaction. The Employer agrees in the event of a sale, lease or transfer, whether of the entire plant or a portion thereof, to notify the successor, leasee [sic], purchaser or transferee, of the existence of this Agreement.
. We recognize that the findings, prepared by the debtor, are somewhat argumentative and present substantial detail not alluded to by the court in its oral opinion. Nevertheless, the court reviewed the findings and adopted them which is sufficient.

Cider was in as common use as beer; in season it was found in the house of every planter in the Colony. In the opinion of English judges, like Hugh Jones, it was not much inferior in quality to the most famous kinds produced in Herefordshire. Fitzhugh, however, does not appear to have entertained this opinion, although, like Jones, he had in early life been in a position to compare English with Virginian cider on the ground where it was made. On one occasion, he sent to George Mason of Bristol a sample of the cider of the Colony, accompanying it with a somewhat apologetic letter: “I had not the vanity,” he wrote, “to think that we could outdo, much less equal, your Herefordshire red stroke, especially that made at particular places. I only thought because of the place from where it came, it might be acceptable, and give you an opportunity in the drinking of it to discover what future advantages this country may be capable of.”
Large quantities of cider were frequently the subject of specialties; thus Peter Marsh of York County about 1675 entered into a bond to pay James Minge one hundred and twenty gallons. It was also the form of consideration in which rent was occasionally settled. The instance of Alexander Moore of York shows the quantity often bequeathed; he left at his decease twenty gallons of raw cider and one hundred and thirty of boiled. Richard Moore, of the same county, kept on hand as many as fourteen cider casks. Richard Bennett made about twenty butts of cider annually, while Richard Kinsman compressed from the pears growing in his orchard forty | WIKI |
Unprocessed items from Gmail “All Mail” or “Chats” label (folder)
When processing a Gmail account with Aid4Mail, all “Chats” messages from the account are archived with the “All Mail” label. In the Gmail account settings, you may also have the option “Show in IMAP” checked for the “Chats” messages. Here I have the option unchecked as Gmail will not actually provide these messages to Aid4Mail for processing as they are not actual emails. Further explanation below.
If you have “Show in IMAP” checked, you will see “Chats” in the folder structure with a total count of how many messages are present. When you process the account, no messages from the “Chats” label will be processed. This is because they are not actual emails and Gmail will not provide them to Aid4Mail for processing. The “All Mail” label (folder) contains the following items:
1. Sent emails
2. Archived emails
3. Promotional emails
4. Social emails
5. Forum emails
6. Chats
Please also be aware that if you have “Show in IMAP” unchecked, the Chat messages will still be shown in the “All Mail” label and will be taken into account when viewing the total item count of the “All Mail” label under “Folder Selection” in Aid4Mail.
Here is an example to further explain:
1. Using Aid4Mail and the IMAP log, you can see that we use the Status command for the Gmail server to tell us how many messages are in the folder. Here you can see that Google responds with “(MESSAGES 88539)” for the”All Mail” label (folder).
2. Now further down in the IMAP log when Aid4Mail gets to the “All Mail” label for processing, Aid4Mail asks the Gmail server to fetch or provide the messages with the “Examine” command. Once Aid4Mail does this, Gmail provides back with 11,244 existing (these are the emails).
3. After Aid4Mail has finished processing the account, it states in the Progress log that all 11,244 emails, that Gmail provided, were successfully processed. Gmail did not provided/fetch the other messages from the “All Mail” label as they are not actually emails but instead the Chat messages. This means that the Progress log will show that 77,295 items were not processed.
If you want to double-check that this is correct, go to your Gmail account settings and check the option “Show in IMAP” for “Chats” (under Settings>Labels). After completing that, load the folder structure in Aid4Mail and see how many “Chats” messages are in the label (folder). Of course, if any chats have been sent or received since the processing completed, the number may be higher.
If you experience any issues, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Mayfield Senior School
Mayfield Senior School is an independent Catholic college preparatory school, founded in 1931 for young women grades 9-12. It is sponsored by the Society of the Holy Child Jesus, a member of the Holy Child Network of Schools and is guided by the educational philosophy of the Society's foundress, Cornelia Connelly.
Description
Mayfield is affiliated with the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles. The total enrollment is about 330, with a 1:7 faculty/student ratio, an average class size of 15, has a 100% college acceptance rate and is 52% ethnically diverse. The school located at 500 Bellefontaine Street in Pasadena, California. It offers nine Conservatory of the Arts programs and 23 competitive teams in 12 sports.
History
Mayfield School was founded in 1931 by the Society of the Holy Child Jesus at the invitation of John Joseph Cantwell, then the Bishop of Los Angeles-San Diego (as the Archdiocese of Los Angeles was then known as). In 1950, the school split into Senior and Junior Schools due to space constraints and zoning regulations. The Junior School (K - 8) remains on the original Euclid Avenue campus while the Senior School (high school) moved to its current location on Bellefontaine Street. The Senior School remains girls-only while the Junior School became coeducational after the split.
Academics
It offers 28 AP classes. Students take classes in eight different subject areas: English, Fine Arts, World Languages, Mathematics, Physical Education, Theology, Science, and Social Studies.
Mayfield is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. The school is also a member of:
* The Holy Child Network of Schools
* The National Association of Independent Schools
* The California Association of Independent Schools
* The National Coalition of Girls' Schools
* The National Catholic Education Association
* The College Entrance Examination Board
* The National Association for College Counseling
* The Western Association for College Admission Counseling
* The Educational Records Bureau
* The Pasadena Area Independent Schools Association
* Council for the Advancement and Support of Education
Mayfield has two full-time college counselors that help every student through the college application process. College counseling is an extension of Mayfield education and each student has access to both counselors. Both counselors stay current and up to date with their knowledge by touring colleges each year. This helps give the girls the best opportunity to fit the school with the best "fit".
Strub Hall
Originally known as the Marshallia mansion, Strub Hall, on Grand Avenue, was built in 1919. It became Mayfield's Bellefontaine campus home in 1950, having been gifted by Dr. Charles H. Strub and his wife, Vera.
Appearances in popular culture
Mayfield has also served as a filming location for many TV shows and movies, such as Marvel’s Runaways, The Lost World: Jurassic Park , The Nutty Professor, All About Steve, and Legally Blonde. | WIKI |
Metropolitan Railway C Class
The Metropolitan Railway C class was a group of four 0-4-4T steam tank locomotives built in 1891 by Neilson and Company. They were to a design by James Stirling, originally the Q class of the South Eastern Railway, and were fitted with condensing apparatus for working in tunnels.
The Neilson works numbers were 4352–5, they were delivered in June 1891 as Metropolitan Railway nos. 67–70. Larger boilers were fitted during 1901–03, with the pressure increased to 150 lbf/in2 as compared the 140 lbf/in2 of the original boilers. No. 67 was sold in 1917 to the Ministry of Munitions; the others were sold in 1923 to Charles Williams of Morriston. | WIKI |

The nation’s first presidential assassination took place on this day 155 years ago.
Lincoln was shot April 14, 1865, while attending a play at Ford’s Theatre in Washington, D.C. His assassin, actor John Wilkes Booth, shot him as he sat in a box looking down on the stage
Booth, a Confederate sympathizer, fled but was fatally shot several days later by a soldier.
Lincoln died April 15 in a house across the street from Ford’s. His body was transported by train to Springfield, Illinois, where he and his family lived for years before he became president.
Thousands of people turned out to pay their respects along the train route. Lincoln was buried May 4, 1865, in Oak Ridge Cemetery in Springfield.
The murder took place several days after the formal surrender of Confederate forces in Appomattox, Virginia, ended the Civil War. | FINEWEB-EDU |

CHILDREN 334 By Mrs. F. LESSELS MATHER, Central Midwives' Board, A.R.San.I. Author 0/ "Health and Home Nursing," " Hysiene and Temperance," "Home Nursinsr," etc. Baby*s Clothing of Yesterday and To'day — Materials Suitable — The Garments Required— Specimen Layettes — First Vest — Barracoat — Day Gown " A little figure robed in white. Spotless, serene, and pure." Qne is thankful to be able to say that baby is dressed in a better and more commonsense way now than in the days of our grand- mothers, when a mass of starched lace, frilling, and embroidery was thought to meet all requirements. The old style of low-necked and short- sleeved dresses, cold linen shirts and tight bandages is now practically a thing of the past. Still, there are babies who suffer from faults of clothing. WTiile most mothers desire to see baby dressed prettily, some fail to recognise that true beauty cannot exist without fitness. In the preparation of baby's clothing we must think first of utility and fitness before ornamentation. The number of garments and quality of the material used wall naturally vary with the social position of the mother, but considera- tion of the same principles must be applied to all alike. 1. Baby's clothing must he warm — that is, must be made of a good non-conductor of heat, one which does not permit either heat or cold to pass readily through it. Baby is extremely sensitive to changes of temperature. Large surfaces must be covered, and internal organs protected, as a chill may cause internal troubles. So arms, legs, neck, and chest must never be left bare. The greater the loss of heat, the more will be required to be made by baby to make up for that loss ; so its food, which should make it plump and rosy, is diverted into the making of heat instead. 2. Clothing should also be light, absorbent, porous, and elastic. Light, because baby must not be burdened with any great wei;;ht, which may impede breathing and free move- ment, and consequently arrest growth and development. What weight there is should be equally distributed over the whole of the body, so that no one part suffers. Porous, to allow of the free and proper action of the skin, and permit of the passage of air. Absorbent, to take up moisture and perspiration ; and elastic, so that it fits closely, but not tightly. Wool meets all these requirements best of any material, serving the double purpose of keepmg m the heat of the body and protecting from outside cold. It is light in weight, can be made porous, absorbent, and elastic. In our rather raw and changeable climate, wool should always be used as the main material in a baby's garments. As warmth must be equally distributed, woollen material must be used for all under- garments. Never use flannelette. It is doubly dangerous, being only cotton " combed up " ; it is not warm enough, and each washing makes it thinner. It is highly inflammable, and many babies' lives have been sacrificed through its use. Baby's clothing should be loose and roomy. Tight garments and heavy ones are danger- ous, as they may restrict the circulation of the blood, so necessary to every part of the body during this first period of rapid growth, and also cause coldness of the extremities. A tight article of clothing might also impede breathing, and so prevent the growing lungs from expanding properly. Baby's clothing should be light in colour, and white is certainly the fittest and most dainty. Needless to say, garments must be kept spotlessly clean. All napkins, etc., must be changed as soon as soiled, and all should be washed with good naphtha soap, never with ordinary soap or soda. No starched articles should be used to chafe the tender skin and cause needless pain. If baby's under-garments are made at home, great care must be taken to make small, neat seams, which should all be on the outside. To fasten, it is best to use soft, well-ironed tapes rather than buttons, which might press against the soft flesh. Baby's Layette Before entering into details, it may be helpful to give two layettes, the first, a good plain set, costing ;^5 5s. ; the second, costing £'15, a more ornate and elaborate one : LAYETTE NO.

Photosynthetic electron-transfer reactions in the gametophyte of Pteris multifida reveal the presence of allelopathic interference from the invasive plant species Bidens pilosa
J Photochem Photobiol B. 2016 May:158:81-8. doi: 10.1016/j.jphotobiol.2016.02.026. Epub 2016 Mar 3.
Abstract
To date, the response of the fern gametophyte to its environment has received considerable attention. However, studies on the influence of plant invasion on the fern gametophyte are fewer. Allelopathy has been hypothesized to play an important role in biological invasion. Hence, it is necessary to study the allelopathy of invasive plant species to the fern gametophyte and elucidate the mechanisms by which invasive plants cause phytotoxicity. As one of the main invasive plants in China, Bidens pilosa exhibits allelopathic effects on the gametophytic growth of Pteris multifida. The root exudate plays an important role among various allelochemical delivery mechanisms in B. pilosa. The effect invasive plant species has on photosynthesis in native species is poorly understood. To elucidate this effect, the changes in photosynthesis in the gametophytes of P. multifida are analyzed to examine the mechanisms of the root exudates of B. pilosa. Meanwhile, a non-invasive plant, Coreopsis basalis, was also applied to investigate the effects on fluorescence and pigments in P. multifida gametophytes. We found that gametophytes exposed to both B. pilosa and C. basalis had decreased fluorescence parameters in comparison with the control, except for non-photochemical quenching. Furthermore, it was found that these parameters were markedly affected from day 2 to day 10 in the presence of both exudates at a concentration of 25% or above. B. pilosa exudate had a negative dose-dependent effect on chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, carotenoid, and the total chlorophyll in the gametophyte. The inhibitory effects increased with increasing exudate concentrations of both species, exhibiting the greatest inhibition at day 10. In conclusion, B. pilosa irreversibly affected the photosynthesis of P. multifida on both PS I and PS II. Root exudates caused the primary damage with respect to the decrease of the acceptors and donors of photon and electron in photosynthetic units and the production and the relative yield of photochemical quantum in PS II. With the effects of exudates, part of the energy is released as heat in chloroplasts. The comparison of invasive and non-invasive plants in allelopathic experiments demonstrated that invasive plants were responsible for the critical damage to the photosynthetic process in local species.

Minerals in Water – a Win-Win Issue for Public Health
Dr. Ania Grobicki, GWP’s Executive Secretary, has written the foreword to “Drinking water minerals and mineral balance – importance, health significance, safety precautions” (Rosborg I. et al), a book to be published by Springer Verlag in 2014. Below is an extract from the foreword.
Image
In the early 21st century, drinking water security is rightly a global concern, as hundreds of millions of people still lack daily access to clean and safe drinking water. The increasing risks of climate change have brought us to the awareness that in many regions of the world, water security is under increasing threat and cannot be taken for granted. In more and more locations, people are drinking water that has been treated and recycled from lower quality water or seawater, while conversely the sales of bottled mineral water are skyrocketing.
Water is essential for life and health, with each adult human being needing to drink on average at least 2 litres of water per day to maintain optimum fitness and alertness. Water safety is generally linked with the absence of disease-causing bacteria, or pathogens. Yet it is not only the water itself that is crucial to our well-being – the minerals it contains are also vitally important. We talk of “hard” water (which contains high levels of minerals) and “soft” water (which is more acidic). Yet how much do we really know about the mineral constituents of water? Do we have the public health guidance that we need regarding minerals in water? Are water providers paying sufficient attention to these minerals, and do they need to be better regulated? These are the questions which this book goes a long way towards answering.
The health-giving effects of highly mineralized water, found in spas, have been known for thousands of years, certainly since Roman times. Over time, the dangers of high levels of certain elements in water have also become apparent, with tragedies such as the arsenic present in the drinking water wells of Bangladesh causing wide-spread illness and death. Arsenic toxicity in drinking water is now declared by the WHO as a public health emergency, which has affected more that 130 million people worldwide. Guidelines have been developed with maximum recommended levels of a range of minerals in water. In general, toxicity levels of minerals with regard to human health are now quite well known.
However, the beneficial health aspects of minerals in water have not been investigated to the same extent. For instance, bicarbonate ions in water help to reduce osteoporosis, and have a strong association with increased longevity, in areas where the water is hard (and bicarbonate alkalinity is high). Broadly, many elements may be beneficial and even essential to health in smaller quantities, and yet harmful in large quantities. Many people are aware that calcium is the most abundant element in the human body, and that it is essential for building healthy and strong bones and teeth. Yet how many know that it acts as an antagonist to magnesium, which is essential for a healthy heart? Too much calcium prevents the uptake of magnesium, and hence the optimum balance of these two minerals in the water which we drink is vital to our health.
The issue of minerals in water is becoming increasingly important as freshwater resources shrink, while ever-growing numbers of people become reliant on treated and recycled water. Water that has been treated by reverse osmosis or distillation is “demineralized”, and drinking such water over a period of time can lead to serious health effects, as has been the case for example in Jordan. However such treated drinking water can quite simply be remineralized, to the benefit of the population which is dependent upon it.
Our current drinking water regulations focus on maximum allowed levels of bacteria and toxins. However with regard to mineral balance, it is just as vital that the levels of minerals are properly regulated with regard to both maximum and minimum levels, and to the ratios among the various elements. Safe re-mineralized water provides a win-win situation for public health – people are protected against harmful elements in the water, while being provided with the balance of vital elements which go a long way towards promoting well-being and longevity. Around the world, we need increased policy awareness of this issue, with the development and enforcement of regulations which will provide us with clean, safe, remineralized water.

5 Responses to Minerals in Water – a Win-Win Issue for Public Health
1. The governments should monitor the quality of bottled water in every country. Poor countries be focused as the problem is serious here. Minerals and other standards of good water must be maintained.
2. The subject of minerals in water is the most important theme now a days and much efforts should be stimulated to reach the optimum values of the mineral contents in water which maintain healthy life specially for those who rely on desalinated water or treatment of low quality water . High fluoride water content , arsenic have received some attention but a comprehensive global research to be sponsored by GWP and supervised by Dr. Ania to conduct a research on Minerals in water in terms of geochemistry and all associated health hazards involving research institutions from different parts of the Globe.

How can I buy the new book, “Drinking Water Minerals and Mineral Balance”, published in September in Lisbon?
I especially want to know how to add magnesium to water while retaining good flavor.
4. kannan says:
In drinking water 12 mg/L of calcium and magnesium 5 mg/L is suitable for drinking purpose?

Original position
The original position (OP), often referred to as the veil of ignorance, is a thought experiment used for reasoning about the principles that should structure a society based on mutual dependence. The phrases original position and veil of ignorance were coined by the American philosopher John Rawls, but the thought experiment itself was developed by William Vickrey and John Harsanyi in earlier writings.
In the original position, you are asked to consider which principles you would select for the basic structure of society, but you must select as if you had no knowledge ahead of time what position you would end up having in that society. This choice is made from behind a "veil of ignorance", which prevents you from knowing your ethnicity, social status, gender and, crucially in Rawls' formulation, your or anyone else's idea of how to lead a good life. Ideally, this would force participants to select principles impartially and rationally.
In Rawls's theory the original position plays the same role that the "state of nature" does in the social contract tradition of Thomas Hobbes, and John Locke. The original position figures prominently in Rawls's 1971 book, A Theory of Justice. It has influenced a variety of thinkers from a broad spectrum of philosophical orientations.
History
The concept of the veil of ignorance has been in use by other names for centuries by philosophers such as John Stuart Mill and Immanuel Kant whose work discussed the concept of the social contract, Adam Smith with his "impartial spectator", or the ideal observer theory. John Harsanyi helped to formalize the concept in economics, and argued that it provides an argument in favor of utilitarianism rather than an argument for a social contract, as rational agents consider expected outcomes, not maximin outcomes or the worst-case outcomes. Harsanyi argued that a person in the original position would maximize their expected utility, rather than choosing minimax. The usage of the term by John Rawls was developed in his 1971 book A Theory of Justice. Modern work tends to focus on the different decision theories that might describe the choice of the decision-maker "behind the veil". In addition, Michael Moehler has shown that, from a moral point of view, decision theory is not necessarily central to veil of ignorance arguments, but the precise moral ideals that are assumed to model the veil. From a moral point of view, there is not one veil of ignorance but many different versions of it.
Nature of the concept
Rawls specifies that the parties in the original position are concerned only with citizens' share of what he calls primary social goods, which include basic rights as well as economic and social advantages. Rawls also argues that the representatives in the original position would adopt the maximin rule as their principle for evaluating the choices before them. Borrowed from game theory, maximin stands for maximizing the minimum, i.e., making the choice that produces the highest payoff for the least advantaged position. Thus, maximin in the original position represents a formulation of social equality.
In social contract theory, citizens in a state of nature contract with each other to establish a state of civil society. For example, in the Lockean state of nature, the parties agree to establish a civil society in which the government has limited powers and the duty to protect the persons and property of citizens. In the original position, the representative parties select principles of justice that are to govern the basic structure of society. Rawls argues that the representative parties in the original position would select two principles of justice:
* 1) Each citizen is guaranteed a fully adequate scheme of basic liberties, which is compatible with the same scheme of liberties for all others;
* 2) Social and economic inequalities must satisfy two conditions:
* 3) * to the greatest benefit of the least advantaged (the difference principle);
* 4) * attached to positions and offices open to all.
The reason that the least well off member gets benefited is that it is argued that under the veil of ignorance people will act as if they were risk-averse. The original position is a unique and irrevocable choice about all the most important social goods, and they do not know the probability they will become any particular member of society. As insurance against the worst possible outcome, they will pick rules that maximize the benefits given to the minimum outcome (maximin).
Recently, Thomas Nagel has elaborated on the concept of original position, arguing that social ethics should be built taking into account the tension between original and actual positions.
Recently, the original position has been modeled mathematically along Wright-Fisher's diffusion, classical in population genetics. The original position has also been used as an argument for negative eugenics, though Rawls' argument was limited to its use as a preventative measure.
Criticisms
In Anarchy, State, and Utopia (1974), Robert Nozick argues that, while the original position may be the just starting point, any inequalities derived from that distribution by means of free exchange are equally just, and that any re-distributive tax is an infringement on people's liberty. He also argues that Rawls's application of the maximin rule to the original position is risk aversion taken to its extreme, and is therefore unsuitable even to those behind the veil of ignorance.
In Liberalism and the Limits of Justice (1982), Michael Sandel has criticized Rawls's notion of a veil of ignorance, pointing out that it is impossible, for an individual, to completely prescind from beliefs and convictions (from the Me ultimately), as is required by Rawls's thought experiment. More recently, the psychological implausibility of Rawls's theory has been highlighted using possible worlds, in a paper that stresses some problematic points of Rawls's proposal.
In a 1987 empirical research study, Frohlich, Oppenheimer and Eavey showed that in a simulated original position, persons throughout a variety of temporal and cultural settings unanimously agreed upon a distributive principle that (in great majority) maximizes the average with a specified floor constraint (a minimum for the worst-off in any given distribution). The finding that a much less demanding distributive principle of justice is agreed upon in a (simulated) original position than Rawls' specification of the "difference principle", implies that the (rational) resistance to a cosmopolitan application of justice as fairness could be less forceful than its critics imagine.
In How to Make Good Decisions and Be Right All the Time (2008), Iain King argues that people in the original position should not be risk-averse, leading them to adopt the Help Principle (Help someone if your help is worth more to them than it is to you) rather than maximin.
Philosopher and Law Professor Harold Anthony Lloyd argues that Rawls's veil of ignorance is hardly hypothetical but instead dangerously real since individuals cannot know at any point in time the future either for themselves or for others (or in fact know all aspects of either their relevant past or present). Faced with the high stakes of such ignorance, careful egoism effectively becomes altruism by minimizing/sharing risk through social safety nets and other means such as insurance. | WIKI |
Hôtel de Lauzun
The Hôtel de Lauzun is a 17th-century hôtel particulier, or private mansion, located on the Quai d'Anjou of the île Saint-Louis in the 4th arrondissement of Paris, France. It is among the few Parisian hôtels that retain their rich carved, painted, mirrored and gilded interiors from the time of Louis XIV.
History
The hôtel particulier was not built by the Duc de Lauzun whose name it bears, but by a wealthy financier, Charles Gruyn des Bordes, the son of an inn-keeper grown rich from his trade and richer still, according to at least one pamphleteer, through speculation enabled by his title as general commissioner of cavalry during the civil disorders of the Fronde.
Gruyn des Bordes purchased the lot in 1641, but by the time he was prepared to build, he had new neighbours in the Île Saint-Louis to emulate, namely, the Hôtel Lambert de Thorigny. He married Geneviève de Moÿ by a contract signed on 26 April 1657, and she hastened the construction of the house, which was completed near the end of 1659. The architect was Charles Chamois.
Gruyn's initial 'G' is interlaced with his wife's'M' on chimneybreasts and throughout the decor. Gruyn, however, had Nicolas Fouquet as a patron and shared in Fouquet's disastrous fall. An inquiry into his financial dealings found him guilty of fraud; he was thrown into prison and died there. His widow, having kept her financial affairs separate from his, survived his ruin and left the hotel to her son.
In the meantime, Antoine Nompar de Caumont, Duc de Lauzun, had fallen from Louis XIV's favour and spent a decade in prison. Once he clandestinely wed his lover, La Grande Mademoiselle, she ransomed him from the King and he immediately purchased the building from de Mony's son. Lauzun enriched many of the interiors. The Hôtel de Lauzun passed on to the great-niece of Cardinal Mazarin, who fled from the convent of Chaillot with the Marquis de Richelieu and eloped with him to London. In 1709 the Marquis de Richelieu sold the house to Pierre-François Ogier, Receveur général du Clergé who further enriched its interiors.
In the 18th century, the Hôtel de Lauzun retained its aristocratic owners (now the Marquis de Pimôdan) until the French Revolution. With that event, the estate, like many of its once-grand neighbours, had its upstairs chambers and attics divided into apartments and rented by successful artisans. In the 1840s, when the building (now known as Hôtel Pimodan) belonged to the bibliophile and collector, baron Jérôme Pichon, auditor for the Conseil d'État, the upstairs apartments were rented to Charles Baudelaire (in 1843, for 350 francs ) and Théophile Gautier. These two residents formed their Club des Hashischins, where they experimented with hashish. While residing there, Baudelaire wrote the first poems of Les Fleurs du Mal.
The Hôtel de Lauzun, protected as a heritage site in 1906 and owned by the City of Paris since 1928, since 2013 houses the Paris Institute for Advanced Study, a research institute in social science, which hosts symposiums or conferences in the building.
The hôtel was featured in Bruno Dumont's 2009 film Hadewijch, and in Roman Polanski's The Ninth Gate, as the apartment of Baroness Kessler.
Description
The building overlooks the Seine to the north of the island and does not fit the most traditional layout of an hôtel particulier, which usually features a main building entre cour et jardin, separated from the street on the front by a courtyard, and facing a private garden on the back. Fitting the exceptional location of the lot, facing the river, Charles Chamois chose to place the main building on the front, and to raise the ground floor to protect it and ensure an enjoyable view of the river. The high foundations serve as a service space. A richly ornamented balcony extends the main room on the street facade. The courtyard forms the back of the hôtel, which does not feature a garden.
The hôtel is renowned for its richly decorated interiors, which are among the only ones preserved from the 17th century in Paris. Typical of interiors from the early reign of Louis XIV, it features heavily gilded wall sculptures, and paintings by Michel Dorigny. The main room, or grande chambre, was converted in 1907 into a music salon, topped by a rostrum.
In Popular Culture
The Hôtel de Lauzun is the Paris home of Jack Rackham and Ann Bonny, aka the Marquis and the Marquise De Belleville, in the fictional pirate romance novels of Alexander De Chastelaine: The Legend of Jack & Ann (2021) ISBN<PHONE_NUMBER>955 and Jack & Ann - In the Service of His Majesty (2023) ISBN<PHONE_NUMBER>738. | WIKI |

RAW tables
RAW tables are nonlogging permanent tables that are similar to tables in a nonlogging database.
The following statement creates a RAW table called r_tab:
CREATE RAW TABLE IF NOT EXISTS
r_tab1 (col1 INT, col2 CHAR(40) NOT NULL);
Update, insert, and delete operations on rows in a RAW table are supported but are not logged. You can define indexes on RAW tables, but you cannot define unique constraints, primary-key constraints, or referential constraints on RAW tables.
A RAW table has the same attributes, whether it is stored in a logging database or in a nonlogging database. If you update a RAW table, you cannot reliably restore the data unless you perform a level-0 backup after the update. If the table has not been updated since that backup, you can restore the RAW table from the last physical backup, but backing up only the logical logs is not sufficient for a RAW table to be recoverable. Fast recovery can roll back incomplete transactions on STANDARD tables but not on RAW tables. For information about creating and altering RAW tables, see the HCL Informix Guide to SQL: Syntax.
RAW tables are intended for the initial loading and validation of data. To load RAW tables, you can use any loading utility, including dbexport, the LOAD statement of DB-Access, or the HPL in express mode. If an error or failure occurs while loading a RAW table, the resulting data is whatever was on the disk at the time of the failure.
Restriction: Do not use RAW tables within a transaction. After you have loaded the data, use the ALTER TABLE statement to change the table to type STANDARD and perform a level-0 backup before you use the table in a transaction.
Restriction: Do not use Enterprise Replication on RAW or TEMP tables.
There are some restrictions when using RAW tables in a high-availability cluster environment. Because modifications made to RAW tables are not logged, and because secondary servers (including HDR, RSS and SDS) use log records to stay synchronized with the primary server, you are restricted from performing certain operations on RAW tables:
• On a primary server, RAW tables can be created, dropped, and accessed. Altering the table mode, however, from unlogged to logged, or from logged to unlogged, is not allowed. Altering the logging mode of a table in a high-availability cluster environment yields error -19845.
• On secondary servers (HDR, SDS, or RSS), RAW tables are not accessible for any operation. Attempting to access a RAW table from SQL yields error -19846.

What is Rural Jetnet Speed Test
Are you facing slow internet speed on your Rural Jetnet Broadband connection? Is your actual Internet slower than you are expecting from ISP? It happens when your Internet connection is in some trouble. You need to do a speed check of your Rural Jetnet Internet connection at this point. This test simply means a reliable and smooth Rural Jetnet speed test to check the actual Internet speed of your Rural Jetnet Internet connection.
How We Take Rural Jetnet Speed Test
This testing tool helps you to speed test Rural Jetnet internet connection using a reliable third party speed test server. Our free Rural Jetnet speed test tool offers you a free Rural Jetnet speed check of your Rural Jetnet Broadband connections.
This speed test Rural Jetnet tool sends and receives huge chunks of bytes. These huge chunks of bytes help determine the real-time Internet speed Rural Jetnet broadband connection.
The upload speed is the time taken by your Internet to upload any file to some server from your mobile or computer. Whereas the download speed of your Internet is downloading of any file to mobile or computer from a server using Rural Jetnet Internet connection.
Both upload speed and download speed affects Internet performance. All you are downloading from the web to your mobile or computer is based on download speed. For instance, listing music, watching online shows, browsing the web, or downloading any file, the rate of downloading depends upon the download speed of the Internet.
Speed Test Results Meaning
The four components of the internet speed test result displayed on the screen are as follows: download speed, upload speed, ping speed, and jitter speed. Let's look at what they really mean.
Download Speed Test: The download speed of your connection is measured in megabits per second (Mbps). The download speed of your internet connection indicates how quickly your device downloads data from the internet. If the download speed test shows that it isn't fast or reliable enough to handle your activities such as gaming, viewing videos, or anything else, you must change your ISP.
What is Good Download Speed: 10 Mbps or higher.
Upload Speed Test: The upload speed of your network is the rate at which data is transmitted from your device to the internet. It is measured in megabits per second (Mbps). The upload speed of your Internet connection has an impact on how quickly you can upload large files like videos, photos, etc.
What is Good Upload Speed: 5 Mbps or higher.
Ping Speed Test: The time it takes for data to reach its final destination is measured in milliseconds and is known as ping. In general, latency under 100 ms is considered ideal. Latency of 200ms or more isn't desirable since these make your internet connection seem slower than it actually is, causing video chatting disruptions. Lower latencies are preferable because they offer a smoother internet connection.
What is Good Ping Speed: 40ms or lower.
Jitter Speed Test: Jitter is a measure of how long it takes data to get from one place to another. It's measured in milliseconds and indicates the time it takes for information to reach its destination. High jitter is generally undesirable as it may impact your ability to engage in activities such as streaming, gaming, or video conferencing.
What is Good Jitter Speed: 30ms or lower.
4 Major Factors That Can Slow Down The Internet
There are various factors that can affect slow down the internet, like weather, latency, distancefrom a connected computer, jitter, upload speed, download speed, etc.
1. Latency: It is server response time - In simple words, the time taken to receive the first byte of data on each request.
2. Download Speed: It is the time taken by your internet to download a file from the server to your mobile or computer.
3. Upload Speed: Upload speed is the time taken by the Internet to upload a file to a server from a mobile or computer.
4. Weather Conditions: If your connection is wireless, then extreme weather (like storms, heavy rains and too much heat) can affect your Internet connection because signals get weaker. However, sometimes extreme weather can also affect the wired connection. In this case, the cable is damaged, or a connector between your home/office and DB loosen.
How To Do Rural Jetnet Speed Test?
To take the Rural Jetnet internet speed test of your Rural Jetnet Broadband or Rural Jetnet fibre - just click the “start” button, and our speedtest Rural Jetnet toolkit will start automatically without any interruption.

How To Improve Rural Jetnet Internet?
To improve your Rural Jetnet Internet speed, follow the below steps carefully:
• Take an Rural Jetnet Speedtest from this tool.
• If you find your actual speed differs from your Internet plan, then you need to troubleshoot the problem by checking the physical and non-physical factors of the connection.
• If you find your actual speed slow after checking physical and non-physical factors, then contact your ISP’s support to troubleshoot the problem. Extreme weather conditions and heavy electric cables can also affect the Internet.
• In the case of WIFI, high-frequency signals can affect the internet. If you find all is well and still your Internet is slow, then check your LAN cable (either it's broken or damaged), or for Wifi - check the quality of your signals.

Talk:Torah im Derech Eretz
I dont know how to change it, but the picture "personification of virtue" says Derech "im" Eretz.
Why has this section been separated from the section on Samson Rapahel Hirsch and Modern Orthodoxy? That forces us to have the same discussion three times! JFW, you correctly noted that there was some repeated material, which you removed. The reason for the repetition was because the same core topic was repeated. As far as I can tell, it makes no sense to have this article. The subject of what Hirsch meant by Torah im Derech Eretz, and how Modern Orthodox Judaism views it today, should be discussed in their respective articles, in their historical context. Separated like this we only get confusion. I vote for merger of this content with the other two articles, and turn this article into either a redirect or disambiguation page. RK 14:03, Aug 8, 2004 (UTC)
* Torah im Derech Eretz is more than just SR Hirsch's brainchild. As a philosophy, it can be identified in the writings of the Maharal and other thinkers.
* I removed your addition because it was a hasty cut-and-paste (even the image markup came along), without any changes to remove superfluous information.
* The real reason I initially wrote this article was to prevent its colonisation as a purely Modern Orthodox phenomenon. There are thousands of Haredim who adhere to Torah im Derech Eretz as an educational philosophy.
* If you feel that this article is superfluous, I will agree to a redirect that leads to the article on Hirsch. Anything else would be unacceptable. JFW | T@lk 21:01, 8 Aug 2004 (UTC)
I propose changing the paragraph "The view of Samson Raphael Hirsch" to "Knowledge of culture and society". I think then it will better fit in with the preceding: "Knowledge of the natural world" - also this will allow for other opinions to be discussed here. Hope that's all-right? Fintor 13:38, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
* This will also entail a slight rewording.. Fintor 14:30, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
Added Torah_im_Derech_Eretz as:
* 1) derech eretz redirects here and this is one (if not the major) meaning of the phrase;
* 2) Rav Hirsch emphasised both aspects of derech eretz.

Plan to address this comment from User:SlimVirgin -
< !--This article often lacks citations for the quotes.-- >

* am beginning the task now... :) will proceed over the next few days Fintor 07:35, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
Hirsch references
Fintor, when linking to Hirsch' writings are you referring to the English translation or to the Gesammelte Schriften published by his son Naftali in the early 20th Century? JFW | T@lk 13:12, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
* These quotes are - in fact - from the German Gesammelte Schriften, which I have, in turn, seen quoted (in English Translation) in the introductory essays in the recent Feldheim translation. Fintor 14:19, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
Anon edits
An anon is changing "Although usually associated with Modern Orthodox Judaism, the philosophy is also important in Haredi communities" to "The philosophy is important in Haredi communities and sometimes associated with Modern Orthodox Judaism." I'm reverting, but someone more knowledgeable should check the edits. SlimVirgin (talk) 04:27, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
* You are correct. JFW | T@lk 07:33, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

His edition of the 19th letters is about half the size of the original and he takes out anything he does not like - references to Schiller and put downs of kabbalah and Eastern European rabbis. See the book review by Rav Danzinger of the Breuer's community in JO where he takes issues with the outright distorian of the edition and introduction. If you want to re-introce Elias it should be as his own section and interpretation. An original 1899 edition of the 19 letters is available online via google books. Please do not undo the article based on the intro.--Jayrav 13:25, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
* You are entitled to your own opinions. However, Elias is a quoted source and a well-known scholar on Hirsch. Per Wikipedia standards, you must find sources for counter opinions if you'd like them in the article. Any personal accusation you may have concerning Elias is just that- personal and unsourced. True, Shlomo Danziger is also a well known scholar on Hirsch, and in that article in JO he does take issue with Elias on two counts- Hirsch's view of Kabbalah, and the inclusion in the notes of the Torah only school of thought. He does NOT however, take issue with the entire intro and edition and nowhere does he mention Schiller. Please adhere to the rules of Wikipedia and provide sources. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk)
There are various other sources that have definitely speculated on Kantian, Hegelian and Schillerian influences on Hirsch. That is not to say that these sources are notable, and neither is there any evidence from Hirsch' own work. I think 38.117 is correct that we cannot continue to make these connections without backing them up.
Hirsch, like Maimonides (I'm not sure if he would have been pleased with the parallel), means different things to different people. To the secularists, he is the one who sought harmony with the outside world but remained a reactionary. To the Modern Orthodox, he is one of the "moderates" who does not believe in exclusion from the secular world. To the Haredim, he is the one who defended the faith against Reform and the Wissenschafters. It is imperative that we remain neutral in representing all those views. It is true that Elias wipes the floor with Noah Rosenbloom in his commentary on the Neunzehn Briefe, but that does not mean that Rosenbloom can therefore not be quoted as a legitimate opinion. The reader will be left to draw his own conclusions.
I'm rather bogged down with other work at the moment, but I think this article needs some more work to remain neutral, well-sourced and verifiable. JFW | T@lk 19:05, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
* The article uses the words "in fact" a lot. A careful editor would probably remove some of them in progress toward NPOV. —Anomalocaris (talk) 09:51, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
Structure
I have changed the section "Background" to "Derech Eretz", as I think this heading is more accurate. I have also partially reverted: the section on Rav Hirsch's philosophy is now its own. I think that this is appropriate, as it refelects the fact that TIDE is a derech of its own. Hope that's OK. Fintor (talk) 08:35, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

Extraterrestrial Life
103-74Carles Puche
The universe is full of gas clouds, dust and organic matter. Radiotelescopes have detected the presence of water and a great variety of organic molecules, essential pieces for the meccano of life. Despite the richness of «prebiological» molecules, we know only about one place where life appeared: our Earth. Astrobiology is a new interdisciplinary science that studies the possibilities of detecting life outside of the Earth. In order to do that, it studies the extreme environments we have in our planet. It focuses on extremophile microorganisms (mainly archaea and bacteria), and the variety of mechanisms they use. The study of extremophile life on Earth will help us look for it, active or already extinct, in other planets, first in the Solar System, then in other parts of the universe.
The Theory of Panspermia
Every culture has a story to explain the origin of the Earth, animals, plants and humans. The search for our origins and destiny is consubstantial to our species. But even today we are incapable of giving a final solution to the origin of life. Some scientists think life started outside the Earth. This is known as the theory of Panspermia. It was defended by different researchers during the nineteenth century. In 1908, Svante Arrhenius (1859-1927, Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1903) coined the expression panspermia. Although the theory cannot be categorically rejected (every day 110 tons of interplanetary matter fall into the Earth and are shredded by our dense atmosphere), panspermia transfers the problem of explaining the origin to a different place in the Solar System, or the universe. But the most accepted hypothesis today is that life started out on Earth, first with a chemical evolution, then with the appearance of RNA, DNA, proteins and other molecules, that became isolated from the environment by a membrane, becoming a protocell. This protocell evolved and developed into the ancestor of the prokaryote cell we know. This cell has been given the hypothetical name LUCA (Last Universal Common Ancestor).
Is There Life in Other Planets?
The study of extremophile microorganisms allowed to widen the limits of life and made us think it could also happen in a different part of the Solar System, or in planets orbiting other stars. Without leaving the Solar System, we can establish four groups according to the possibility to find life. First, celestial bodies with Earth-like conditions; there are none. Then, bodies in which water and chemical elements that allow reactions have been detected, namely Mars, Europa (Jupiter’s satellite) and Enceladus (Saturn’s satellite). In the third place, bodies with even more extreme physical conditions, with liquid fluids and energy sources that would allow exotic life to exist (different from the ones found in our planet), such as Titan (Saturn’s satellite). And finally, bodies whose physicochemical features seem to indicate any kind of life would be impossible, as is the case with Mercury.
The Mars Enigma
The planet that has more possibilities to harbour life is Mars. Studies from more than 50 meteorites coming from Mars, along with the data from several orbital devices and robots, show a rocky planet with an evolution that greatly differs from Earth’s. Although Venus, the Earth and Mars must have been very similar during the earlier stages, Mars currently has a very weak atmosphere (around 100 times lighter than Earth’s), and contains 95% CO2. It seems there is not crust recycling (plate tectonics), but there is evidence of abundant liquid water in the past. If it is still present, it would be frozen or forming a kind of permafrost.
Of the «Martian» meteorites, the first recovered fell on October 3, 1815, in Chassigny, France. Meteorite hits are fairly common. The problem is that, when they are found, they are handled without any care, so organic matter in them could easily be contamination, and not their own. That is why meteorites recovered in Antarctica, carefully collected by researchers, offer more guarantee that they have not been contaminated. One of the most famous ones found in Antarctica is Martian meteorite ALH84001 (the name comes from the place, Allan Hills, and it was the first sample in 1984). They present magnetite structures similar to those of magnetosomes in some bacteria. Several researchers maintain that these structures indicate that around 3,000 million years ago there were magnetosome-producing bacteria in Mars. Although we do not know any other possible origin for magnetosomes apart from the biogenic (produced by bacteria), it may be possible that the features described in ALH84001 can be explained through inorganic processes. As with a lot of other on-going research, time will say which hypothesis is correct. Controversy remains open and it revived the Mars exploration program, encouraging the launch of a fleet of devices. However, the recovery and transfer of samples from Mars to the Earth is still a priority in Mars exploration, as the essential element to know if there is, or there was, life in our neighbour planet.
The Solar System was formed approximately 5,000 million years ago. The Earth was formed and had orbital independence around 4,650 million years ago. Life could be formed as soon as there was permanent liquid water on the Earth, around 3,850 million years ago, «only» 800 million years after the formation of the planet. The origin of life, or biopoesis (poesi, as in poetry, means «creation»), may have happened more than once in our planet, but the life we know today clearly comes from the same kind of cells. Biopoesis could have occurred also in Venus and Mars at some point in the beginning of their geological history; but it is probable that life was not able to settle. What allowed life to keep going on Earth was the appearance of ecosystem, or ecopoesis. It avoided the exhaustion of biogenic elements on the surface of the planet. The process of recycling, for which cooperation of many different kinds of cells is necessary, is absolutely essential on Earth. Once more, we see how cooperation between species produced an emergent property that enabled all later evolution on Earth.

Delete Empty Lines Using Sed / Grep Command in Unix (or Linux)
In Unix / Linux you can use the Sed / Grep command to remove empty lines from a file. For example, Consider the below text file as input
> cat file.txt
Remove line using unix grep command
Delete lines using unix sed command
How it works
Now we will see how to remove the lines from the above file in unix / linux
1. Remove lines using unix sed command
The d command in sed can be used to delete the empty lines in a file.
sed '/^$/d' file.txt
Here the ^ specifies the start of the line and $ specifies the end of the line. You can redirect the output of above command and write it into a new file.
sed '/^$/d' file.txt > no_empty_lines.txt
2. Delete lines using unix grep command
First we will see how to search for empty lines using grep command.
grep '^$' file.txt
Now we will use the -v option to the grep command to reverse the pattern matching
grep -v '^$' file.txt
The output of both sed and grep commands after deleting the empty lines from the file is
Remove line using unix grep command
Delete lines using unix sed command
How it works

Most of the immigrants who came to America through Ellis Island were from eastern and southern Europe. In many cases, they came to escape the poverty and religious intolerance that existed in small towns in countries such as Italy, Poland, and Russia.
What happens when immigrants arrived at Ellis Island?
Despite the island’s reputation as an “Island of Tears”, the vast majority of immigrants were treated courteously and respectfully, and were free to begin their new lives in America after only a few short hours on Ellis Island. Only two percent of the arriving immigrants were excluded from entry.
What are 3 countries immigrants came from destined for Ellis Island?
Ireland, Italy, and Germany were the three countries most represented at Ellis Island.
Did all immigrants go through Ellis Island?
While the majority of immigrants during the peak years of U.S. immigration arrived through Ellis Island (more than 1 million in 1907 alone), millions more immigrated through other American ports including Castle Garden, which served New York from 1855-1890; the New York Barge Office; Boston, MA; Baltimore, MD; …
Why did immigrants come to America through Ellis Island?
Between 1892 and 1954, more than 12 million immigrants passed through Ellis Island in order to start a new life in the United States. They came to escape religious persecution, political oppression, and poverty in their home countries.
How many deaths occurred at Ellis Island?
More than 120,000 immigrants were sent back to their countries of origin, and during the island’s half-century of operation more than 3,500 immigrants died there. Ellis Island waylaid certain arrivals, including those likely to become public charges, such as unescorted women and children.
Why did getting through Ellis Island take so long?
The duration of inspection was based on the reliability of the immigrant’s papers, in case the documents were not in order, it would take much longer for the individual to be cleared. Inspections were conducted in the Registry Room by doctors who checked for physical ailments and medical conditions.
Did Albert Einstein go through Ellis Island?
Albert Einstein, a German physicist, came to the United States with his wife, Elsa, onboard the SS Rotterdam. They arrived at Ellis Island on March 23, 1921 – he was 43 years old and she was 45 years old at the time. … His birthplace is recorded as Ulm, Germany His final destination was New York, New York.
What three tests did immigrants have to pass?
Newly-arrived immigrants were tested for eye infections and tuberculosis. They were also sorted into sick and healthy queues according to their scalp, face, neck, and “gait.” Provided they passed physical inspection, they were given an intelligence test.
Did Russian immigrants come through Ellis Island?
Over the next few decades, Ukrainians, Belarussians, Lithuanians, and Poles arrived at Ellis Island by the hundreds of thousands. Russians, however, made the journey only a few at a time, and only by braving many hazards. The U.S. census of 1910 found only 65,000 Russians in the country.
How long did it take to process immigrants at Ellis Island?
If an immigrant’s papers were in order and they were in reasonably good health, the Ellis Island inspection process lasted 3 to 5 hours.
How much money did the immigrants need when at Ellis Island?
There was not a precise amount of money that they were required to have for admission. As others have indicated, a question on the Ellis Island form indeed indicated whether the immigrant had at least $30 with them (not sure what that is today, but it was about the equivalent of $700 in 2010).
How were immigrants treated at Ellis Island?
All told, the 12 million or so individuals who arrived as immigrants on Ellis experienced a bureaucracy that was bewildering but never punitive. They were herded and tagged, inspected and interrogated, but after a period of two to five hours the vast majority were free to enter the United States.
Who were first immigrants to America?
By the 1500s, the first Europeans, led by the Spanish and French, had begun establishing settlements in what would become the United States. In 1607, the English founded their first permanent settlement in present-day America at Jamestown in the Virginia Colony.
What is Ellis Island used for today?
Ellis Island Museum of Immigration
Ellis Island opened to the public in 1976. Today, visitors can tour the Ellis Island Museum of Immigration in the restored Main Arrivals Hall and trace their ancestors through millions of immigrant arrival records made available to the public in 2001.
What happened to most immigrants when they arrived at Ellis Island quizlet?
many immigrants who passed through Ellis Island were detained for long periods. many immigrants who arrived at Angel Island underwent medical examinations and interrogations. many immigrants who arrived at Ellis Island underwent medical examinations and interrogations. | FINEWEB-EDU |

John Key
This peer review discussion has been closed. I've listed this article for peer review because… it passed as a GA, however the review was done by a pretty inexperienced editor, and although he passed it straight away (without a hold), I doubt that it is actually up to GA standard. What needs to be done to ensure it stays a good article, and what needs to be done to eventually raise it up to FA standard? Thanks, Adabow (talk · contribs) 06:53, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
Brianboulton comments:
* The article is rather short when the subject is a current prime minister. This means that the infobox is disproportionately large. The photograph seems rather oppressively oversized, as does the scrawl of signature. Also, it isn't necessary to include everything about the subject in the infobox. Why have the information about his various offices both here and at the end of the article? The infobox could be much shorter.
* The lead is too short and does not summarise the entire article.
* Image placement: it is inappropriate to have the image of Key celebrating his 2008 victory right at the start of the article. It should be more appropriately placed, in the section in which this event occurs.
* Personal life: The prose seems rather magaziney; it is not necessary to name the children again (they are named in the infobox), nor to mention his wife's role as a full-time mother. The section is also a little short on details about Key. I know accountants are deemed to be irretrievably boring, but is he an entirely one-dimensional figure? Something - anything - to give him some depth would make the article more interesting.
* Before politics: Section should not begin with a pronoun. Overlinking: foreign exchange (everyday term)
* Member of Parliament: The table is, to me, incomprehensible without some explanatory text. What do the headings "Term" and "List" mean? The relevant results are given in the text, so does the table serve any purpose?
* Finance spokesman: Apart from the mention of Key's appointment, this short section is about something else entirely. Is there no information to be given as to how Key performed this role? Also, information is completely lacking to explain his rapid rise to party leader. Were there other candidates for the post? Was there an election, and what was its outcome? This is essential information for a biographical article on a politician. You don't even give the date on which he became leader.
* The narrative concerning Key's time as opposition leader seems to consist of anecdotes. OK, these may be interesting or even important, but we need to know something about the political climate of the times, and have a sense as to how Key operated in this climate. What government policies did he focus his attacks upon? What policy alternatives was he offering? What was the climate of opinion at the time - what did the opinion polls show, etc etc? The section is incomplete and inadequate as it stands.
* Prime minister
* Nothing about the election campaign?
* The results indicate that Key needed a coalition partner to form a majority government. Who was this partner?
* What does "overhang" mean?
* As with the previous section, this is mainly anecdotal trivia and doesn't give any kind of a picture of a statesman in office. And why is his appearance on Letterman in a section supposedly concerned with a UN Security Council seat bid? Surely there should be some discussion of this bid - why was it made, and what was the outcome?
* Political views: I won't say much, except that you say he has changed his views on the Iraq war since becoming leader of the opposition. You don't say when this change occurred, or what his current views are. That information would be interesting.
* Religious views: I don't think this section has any justifiable place in the article, since Key's religion, or lack of it, has never been a political issue. Or, if it has, this should have been discussed earlier in the article.
As you will have gathered from my review, I believe that this article needs considerable expansion if it is to come near to meeting the "comprehensive" criterion as required by FAC. It might be an idea to look at other prime minister articles that have made it to FA; the most recent I can think of is John Diefenbaker. I hope that you found this eview helpful; please note that I haave not checked out sources or image licences. Brianboulton (talk) 21:06, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
* Just found this review and wanted to make a quick comment. Some good articles about Prime Ministers to compare this with are David Cameron, Gordon Brown, Margaret Thatcher and Winston Churchill, all of which are currently listed as Good Article. Doing a quick search, the only Featured Article I came across (apart from the one mentioned above) is Neville Chamberlain, though I'm sure there are others. Hope this helps.

Loading View Components from a Class Library in ASP.NET Core MVC
Originally posted to: http://www.davepaquette.com/archive/2016/07/16/loading-view-components-from-a-class-library-in-asp-net-core.aspx
In a previous post we explored the new View Component feature of ASP.NET Core MVC. In today’s post we take a look at how view components can be implemented in a separate class library and shared across multiple web applications.
Creating a class library
First, add a a new .NET Core class library to your solution.
Add class library
This is the class library where we will add our view components but before we can do that we have to add a reference to the MVC and Razor bits.
"dependencies": {
"NETStandard.Library": "1.6.0",
"Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc": "1.0.0",
"Microsoft.AspNetCore.Razor.Tools": {
"version": "1.0.0-preview2-final",
"type": "build"
}
},
"tools": {
"Microsoft.AspNetCore.Razor.Tools": "1.0.0-preview2-final"
}
Now we can add a view component class to the project. I created a simple example view component called SimpleViewComponent.
[ViewComponent(Name = "ViewComponentLibrary.Simple")]
public class SimpleViewComponent : ViewComponent
{
public IViewComponentResult Invoke(int number)
{
return View(number + 1);
}
}
By convention, MVC would have assigned the name Simple to this view component. This view component is implemented in a class library with the intention of using it across multiple web apps which opens up the possibility of naming conflicts with other view components. To avoid naming conflicts, I overrode the name using the [ViewComponent] attribute and prefixed the name with the name of my class library.
Next, I added a Default.cshtml view to the ViewComponentLibrary in the Views\Shared\Components\Simple folder.
@model Int32
<h1>
Hello from an external View Component!
</h1>
<h3>Your number is @Model</h3>
For this view to be recognized by the web application, we need to include the cshtml files as embedded resources in the class library. Currently, this is done by adding the following setting to the project.json file.
"buildOptions": {
"embed": "Views/**/*.cshtml"
}
Referencing external view components
The first step in using the external view components in our web application project is to add a reference to the class library. Once the reference is added, we need tell the Razor view engine that views are stored as resources in the external view library. We can do this by adding some additional configuration code to the ConfigureServices method in Startup.cs. The additional code creates a new EmbeddedFileProvider for the class library then adds that file provider to the RazorViewEngineOptions.
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
// Add framework services.
services.AddApplicationInsightsTelemetry(Configuration);
services.AddMvc();
//Get a reference to the assembly that contains the view components
var assembly = typeof(ViewComponentLibrary.ViewComponents.SimpleViewComponent).GetTypeInfo().Assembly;
//Create an EmbeddedFileProvider for that assembly
var embeddedFileProvider = new EmbeddedFileProvider(
assembly,
"ViewComponentLibrary"
);
//Add the file provider to the Razor view engine
services.Configure<RazorViewEngineOptions>(options =>
{
options.FileProviders.Add(embeddedFileProvider);
});
}
Now everything is wired up and we can invoke the view component just like we would for any other view component in our ASP.NET Core MVC application.
<div class="row">
@await Component.InvokeAsync("ViewComponentLibrary.Simple", new { number = 5 })
</div>
Wrapping it up
Storing view components in a separate assembly allows them to be shared across multiple projects. It also opens up the possibility of creating a simple plugin architecture for your application. We will explore the plugin idea in more detail in a future post.

Abstract
A # 54 well on field A has a problem in producing fluid because the pump suddenly dies (pump stuck) and production is slow (low production) on the pump Hydraulic Pumping Unit installed. This can cause a decrease in the productivity of the pump that is problematic, so it will cause the pump not to produce optimally and it will be a problem in the economy of the well if this problem occurs continuously. Several methods are used to identify pumping stuck and low production, which is first calculating the total load on the well, second calculating the effect of friction due to sand content on the plunger and adding the polish rod load and third calculating the addition of total load and friction force on the increase in hydraulic pressure. Based on the sand content analysis performed, it has been obtained for A # 54 wells to have a total load value of pump stuck condition = 2089 lb, low production = 2122 lb and the hydraulic pressure value at pump stuck condition = 588 psi and low production = 597 psi. Second, the value of the effect of friction force due to sand content on pump stuck condition = 55.2 lb, low production = 254.8 lb and the addition of maximum polished rod load at pump stuck condition = 2158 lb, low production = 2392 lb. Third, the value of adding total load and friction force to the increase in hydraulic pressure at pump stuck condition = 607 psi and low production = 673 psi. From the analysis results, the HPU pump total load increased from = 2089 lb to = 2158 lb in pump stuck conditions caused by friction force due to the effect of sand content of = 55.2 lb and hydraulic pressure increased from = 588 psi to = 607 psi. Then the increase in total load from = 2122 lb to = 2392 lb in low production conditions caused by friction force due to the effect of sand content is = 254.8 lb and the hydraulic pressure has increased from = 597 psi to = 673 psi.

House affirms calls for Trump whistleblower complaint | TheHill
The House overwhelming passed a measure Wednesday urging the Trump administration to release the whistleblower complaint that has sparked scrutiny of President TrumpDonald John TrumpWhistleblower complaint declassified on eve of high-stakes testimony Ocasio-Cortez on impeachment: 'I think the ground has shifted' Democrats ask Pentagon to probe delayed Ukraine aid MORE's interactions with a foreign power. The chamber passed the non-binding resolution in a 421-0 vote, with Republicans joining Democrats to request the administration hand over the document filed by a member of the U.S. intelligence community. Two lawmakers voted present. The House measure had been amended to mirror the resolution that passed the Senate by unanimous consent on Tuesday. The vote Wednesday evening came as lawmakers began to receive information about the complaint. The whistleblower complaint is expected to contain details on Trump’s interactions with Ukraine, with media reports indicating that it involves multiple incidents related to the president. Democrats said they are looking to ensure the administration provides Congress with both the unredacted whistleblower complaint and an inspector general report surrounding the complaint. "Once we pass this resolution, the [Director of National Intelligence] will be faced with the choice to honor his responsibility to help preserve the republic or break the law. This passed by unanimous consent in the Senate. Every member, Democratic and Republican, should pass this in the House,” Speaker Nancy PelosiNancy PelosiWhistleblower complaint declassified on eve of high-stakes testimony Ocasio-Cortez on impeachment: 'I think the ground has shifted' Democrats ask Pentagon to probe delayed Ukraine aid MORE (D-Calif.) said on the floor. “While we await the release of the full complaint, we reiterate our call for the release of the full transcript of the call between President Trump and Ukrainian president and reiterate our call to protect whistleblowers from retaliation. I urge a bipartisan vote to defend our national security and to protect our democracy.” Lawmakers voted on the non-binding resolutions this week amid growing questions over Trump's July 25 phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, in which the president urged Ukraine to investigate former Vice President Joe BidenJoe BidenWhistleblower complaint declassified on eve of high-stakes testimony Ocasio-Cortez on impeachment: 'I think the ground has shifted' Democrats ask Pentagon to probe delayed Ukraine aid MORE. Democrats have accused Trump of abusing his power by asking a foreign power to launch an investigation into Biden, a political rival who is the current frontrunner in the 2020 Democratic presidential primary. The White House released a partial transcript of Trump's call with Zelensky on Wednesday morning, and a redacted version of the whistleblower report was expected to be made available to members of the House Intelligence Committee on Wednesday afternoon. The memo released by the White House showed Trump urging Zelensky to speak with his personal attorney Rudy GiulianiRudy GiulianiMurphy: Background check talks continue despite Trump Ukraine criticism Hacker changes Seattle road sign to say 'Impeach the bastard' Pence: Trump has been 'completely vindicated' with Ukraine call readout MORE about an investigation into Biden, and showed Trump telling the foreign leader that Attorney General William BarrWilliam Pelham BarrMurphy: Background check talks continue despite Trump Ukraine criticism The Memo: Trump troubles deepen amid Ukraine storm Zelensky adviser: Ukraine 'understood' discussing Biden was condition for talking to Trump MORE would also be in touch with him. Lawmakers formally called for the administration to release the whistleblower complaint one day after Pelosi announced that the House would move forward with a formal impeachment inquiry, with several Democrats arguing the partial transcript bolsters their case for impeachment. While the measure received a sizable amount of GOP support on the floor, Republicans accused Democrats of politicizing the whistleblower complaint by calling for a formal impeachment inquiry before seeing all of the facts. House Intelligence Committee Ranking Member Devin NunesDevin Gerald NunesHouse affirms calls for Trump whistleblower complaint Whistleblower complaint delivered to Congress House Intel to see whistleblower complaint on Wednesday afternoon MORE (R-Calif.), one of Trump’s most vocal defenders in the lower chamber, questioned why lawmakers were voting on the measure when documents were being sent to the Intelligence Committee ahead of the vote. “Madam Speaker, this complaint has given rise to fevered speculation and frenzied media reporting, much of which is based on the transcript of the president's phone call released today. It appears to be exaggerated, misleading, or outright false," he asserted. "It's also serving as a linchpin of a long-standing attempt by the Democrats to impeach President Trump and finally, achieve their goal of overturning the results of the 2016 election,” he said during debate ahead of the vote. "So, therefore, we have to ask ourselves, why are we voting on a resolution that is asking for the very documents that are being sent over that are probably on their way right now, if they are not already here?"

-- IMF Scales Back Aid to Greece in Nation’s 2nd Rescue Package
The International Monetary Fund
intends to contribute 18 billion euros ($23.6 billion) in fresh
funds to the second aid package for Greece , scaling back IMF
help for the nation that triggered Europe ’s debt crisis. The planned IMF contribution disclosed yesterday represents
14 percent of the 130 billion-euro second rescue of Greece being
arranged with the euro area. The IMF accounted for 27 percent --
or 30 billion euros -- of Greece’s initial 110 billion-euro
bailout in May 2010. “The IMF is trying to manage a difficult balance between
staying involved in the rescue package for Greece while limiting
the risk to its own funds,” Eswar Prasad , a senior fellow at
the Brookings Institution in Washington and a former IMF
official, said in an e-mail. The IMF is “increasing its overall
exposure to Greece. This poses both financial and political
risks for the fund.” Two years after German Chancellor Angela Merkel insisted
that the IMF play a role in aiding Greece and any other
distressed euro government, the Washington-based lender has
joined the U.S., Canada and other nations in pressing Europe
itself to do more to stem the debt crisis. Germany , the biggest economy in Europe, has repeatedly
stalled over bolstering the euro area’s bailout firepower amid
skepticism in the country about the merits of aiding euro
nations that flouted European budget-discipline rules. Smaller Role The smaller IMF role in the latest Greek bailout leaves 112
billion euros to be provided by the euro area’s rescue fund, the
European Financial Stability Facility, which sells debt to
finance emergency aid. The EFSF has a capacity of 440 billion
euros. IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde said yesterday that
she plans to recommend 28 billion euros in financial aid for
Greece to support its “ambitious economic program over the next
four years.” The 28 billion euros that Lagarde is proposing include 9.7
billion euros that remained from the previous support package,
the IMF confirmed in an e-mailed statement yesterday. The entire
28 billion euros will need to be approved by the IMF executive
board. “Restoring competitiveness and a sustainable fiscal
position will require Greece to undertake sustained and deep
structural reforms over a prolonged period,” Lagarde said in a
statement in Washington. “The scale and length of the fund’s
support is a reflection of our determination to remain
engaged.” Biggest Restructuring Greece yesterday pushed through the biggest sovereign
restructuring in history after getting private investors to
forgive more than 100 billion euros of debt, opening the way for
the second bailout. Euro-region finance ministers agreed that, with the swap,
Greece had met the terms for the 130 billion-euro rescue package
arranged with the IMF. Ministers freed up 35.5 billion euros in
payments and interest for bondholders, with a decision on the
balance of the bailout funds to be made at a March 12 meeting in
Brussels. Greece’s debt swap “exceeded expectations” and gives the
country a “realistic chance” to pare down its debt and
recover, Finnish Prime Minister Jyrki Katainen said in an
interview today on state-owned broadcaster YLE TV1. The euro area’s 80 billion-euro share of the first Greek
rescue of 110 billion euros came from national governments. The
Luxembourg-based EFSF was not involved in that package. The EFSF is committed to providing a total of almost 44
billion euros to the rescues of Ireland and Portugal that
followed the initial Greek bailout. To contact the reporters on this story:

Happiness and Well-Being – How To Have Good Health

Happiness and Well-Being – How To Have Good Health
Health is an objective state of mind and physical, emotional and social well being where infirmity and disease are absent. It refers to the condition of being fit and healthy. The four cardinal health indicators are physical, mental, social and emotional well-being.
The first step to having good health is to recognize and appreciate the importance of maintaining and building up your physical health. An objective assessment should be done in order to determine what your strengths and weaknesses are and what activities are important to you. The next step in building up your physical well-being is to identify and treat those aspects that are limiting and that you need to improve upon. Taking care of your mental and emotional well-being will make up for your deficiencies in physical health.
If you do not maintain good health you will get sick. The longer you go without adequate nutrition or other appropriate medical treatment the more likely you are to become ill. Many people do not realize that they are not getting the nutrients they need to stay healthy because they do not pay attention to how they look or how they feel. This does not mean you should ignore your appearance or your mood. You just need to recognize what’s important to you and what affects you. Do not let this leave you with a lack of self-esteem because you do not have what you think is important or even what is important to others.
Once you have made positive changes to your appearance and to your attitude you will be well on your way towards your mental health. One of the most significant ways to improve your mental health is through diet and exercise. If you are eating healthy foods you can be less likely to get ill and that means that you will be more likely to live a healthy life.
Exercise is essential to the improvement of your mental health. There is much evidence that shows that regular physical activity is very beneficial to the brain. When you exercise, you help to improve your overall health and the functioning of every part of your body including your brain.
Living a long and productive life does not mean living with poor health. With proper attention to your health, you can experience a new level of happiness and fulfillment in life. Be sure to take your time when trying to decide what kind of health you want.

A big conviction shows Romania’s war on corruption is back on track - Go directly to jail
THE WAR against corruption in Romania has seen its ups and downs since the country joined the European Union, but on May 27th the rule of law won a big battle. Liviu Dragnea, leader of the governing Social Democratic Party (PSD), was sent to prison for three and a half years, after an appeals court upheld his conviction for keeping two party workers in fictitious jobs on the state’s payroll. His downfall will touch off a scramble for power. More important, it is a victory for elements of Romania’s judiciary that are fighting to clean up the country. The conviction is the latest win for Romania’s National Anti-Corruption Directorate (DNA), an independent prosecutor’s office that has put thousands of officials and businessmen in jail. The DNA has dealt with Mr Dragnea before: in 2015 it convicted him of electoral fraud, a felony that barred him from serving as prime minister. Yet after the PSD and its coalition partners, the Liberal Democrats (ALDE), took office in December 2016, he became, in effect, the country’s most powerful politician. As head of the PSD and president of the legislature, he turned the full energy of the government towards keeping himself out of prison. Upgrade your inbox and get our Daily Dispatch and Editor's Picks. In 2017 the government tried to pass laws letting corrupt lawmakers off the hook by emergency decree, but backed down after huge street protests. It then turned to passing the measures piecemeal. Last year the Justice Ministry set up a unit to bring charges against prosecutors who “abused” their power, a clear attempt to intimidate the DNA. The ministry also fired Laura Codruta Kovesi (see film below), the agency’s hard-driving director. The deteriorating situation led the European Commission to send Romania a warning. Things have been especially embarrassing since Romania currently holds the EU’s rotating presidency. But it also prompted Klaus Iohannis, Romania’s president and a good-government type, to launch a referendum asking voters whether they approved of weakening anti-corruption measures. On May 26th, the same day that most of Europe was voting for the new EU parliament, 80% of Romanian voters said no. They also dealt the PSD a huge defeat in the election, giving it just 23% of the vote. Many wondered whether the court’s abrupt announcement of a verdict had something to do with the PSD’s defeat. “The people spoke, and then the judges rediscovered their courage,” said Cristian Ghinea, a newly elected MEP for the Save Romania Union (USR), an anti-corruption party. The USR and other opposition parties are readying a motion to topple the government. But Radu Magdin, a political consultant, said the coalition would probably stick together and defeat the measure out of fear that early elections would favour the opposition. The PSD, meanwhile, will try to purge officials tied to Mr Dragnea, said Oana Popescu, head of GlobalFocus, a think tank. The party will struggle to find a new leader. “The system was very personalised, like [under] the Ottomans—everything was about Dragnea. It is in collapse now. No one knows who is in charge,” said Mr Ghinea. Viorica Dancila, the prime minister, is seen as weak. Other party big-wigs, such as the mayor of Bucharest, Gabriela Firea, says she does not even want to lead the party. Many observers had worried that Romania was losing its war on corruption and going the way of Viktor Orban’s Hungary. Mr Dragnea’s sentencing has given them renewed hope. “The checks and balances in Romania worked, unlike in Hungary,” said Laura Stefan, an expert on rule-of-law issues at the Expert Forum think-tank in Bucharest. “Dragnea was not able to pass amendments to the criminal code, and he failed at the court. It shows there are limits to what you can do, even if you are the most powerful person in Romania.” Correction (May 29th 2019): An earlier version of this article had stated that the National Liberals (PNL) were the Social Democrats' coalition partners. The PNL is an opposition party. The Social Democrats' coalition partners are the Liberal Democrats (ALDE). | NEWS-MULTISOURCE |
