Science and Technology Daily News (reporter Wu Jiashen): Recently, the reporter learned from the Chinese Academy of Sciences that the ultra-sensitive magnetic resonance study group leaded by professor Xin Zhou from Wuhan Institute of Physics and Mathematics, Chinese Academy of Sciences successfully developed China's first near-room temperature (40 degrees C) ultra-low-field NMR resonance spectrometer. The device not only can be used to study the molecular structure of the material information and dynamics in the earth's magnetic field and other natural conditions, but also to directly detect the ferromagnetic materials such as iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles samples which high-field NMR spectrometer can't. It is expected to play an important role in the fields of biology, medicine, etc.
Traditional NMR technology uses radio frequency induction coil to detect the magnetic resonance signal. In order to get higher signal sensitivity, almost commercial superconducting NMR spectrometer focuses on high magnetic field. However, the high magnetic field can't be used for the people with in vivo devices, such as pacemakers. Usually, the real environment of chemical sample and biological tissue is the magnetic field or less. The traditional NMR technology is difficult to obtain a usable magnetic resonance signal in this environment.
Dr. Guobin Liu of the group used high sensitive atomic magnetometer, which can use optical technology to detect NMR signal under very weak magnetic field, instead of traditional RF coil. Atomic magnetometers can work at the magnetic field without sacrificing sensitivity, and does not require cryogenic technology and high cost for running a superconducting high magnetic field. With this ultra-low-field nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy based on the atomic magnetometers, the researchers detected the NMR signal (2Hz) of water at the magnetic field (47nT) which is 1,000 times weaker than the earth magnetic field. The field and resonance frequency lower 250 million times than the current mainstream commercial magnetic resonance spectroscopy instrument (such as a 500M Hz, 11.7T). In addition, the ultra-low-field NMR spectrometer can detect the relaxation rate of the contrast agent to enhance the water quality of the child, and achieve high accuracy.
Wuhan Institute of Physics and Mathematics, Chinese Academy of Sciences has long-term research experience of developing magnetic resonance instrument technology. It has successfully developed with 300-500MHz high magnetic field NMR spectrometer independent intellectual property rights, ant it is ongoing industrialization. The success of ultra-low field NMR spectrometer fills the blank of our own research and development in ultra-low-field spectrometer. Relevant results of instrument development published in the recent issue of "Journal of Magnetic Resonance." The study was supported by the National Natural Science Foundation and the 100-Talent program of Chinese Academy of Sciences.

My wife would prefer I not go to a talk by someone who wrote so extensively about adultery.
If updike brought even a tenth of the genius to writing his lecture as he brought to the line ‘his hands were like wild birds’ we’d be in for a real treat.
Grease-gray and kind of coiled.
Also I think the whole Russell’s-paradox thing is getting old, and that keeping Updike in the game will make next round’s battle against Nietzsche more fun. And, one more thing: Updike’s got the basketball connection. Can you imagine Bertrand Russell playing hoops? I don’t think so.
Hey, how did Derrida even make it into the second round?? There must’ve been some mistake.
Derrida’s last victory was an aporia. It was also Derrida’s last victory. By which I mean it was a victory for his mechanical foot. But is it a vic(tory) or are we all vic(tims)? I could go on like this for another hour, which shows how masturbatory Derrida’s technique is. Not that I’m actually masturbating at the moment. Not that there would be anything wrong with that. Carlin, please.
Carlin. How many times as Derrida hosted Saturday Night Live?
When we read of Derrida’s death, my friends and I breathed a sigh of relief. When we heard of Carlin’s death four years later, we chatted about how he changed the way we thought about ourselves, each other, and the world. I suspect our reactions would be the same at the conclusion of each respective proposed seminar.
Andrew, salvage whoever you like from the previous eliminations. This round is irrelevant.
Everyone who has a business idea thinks it’s the best idea since sliced bread. And although that’s never the case, your business idea can take off and find success if you’re willing to take the right steps to make it happen. But what are those steps?
Below, you will find out everything you need to know about getting your business idea off the ground. Taking those first few steps and setting the right course is never easy. But rushing into it blindly is certainly not the answer. So, here are the steps you need to understand.
First of all, you’re going to need to do some research. It’s essential to know the market you’re about to be entering, as well as what the competition has to offer. If you storm in without knowing what it is you’re up against, you’re most likely going to come out of that particular battle worse. You will then have to set about putting plans in place to outsmart your competitors and their ideas. It’s not an easy task, but it’s one you’ll need to approach.
Talking to people who have been in your shoes before can be very helpful indeed. There are not many people better placed to offer you advice than other entrepreneurs who have been in a similar situation to you. They will be able to tell you thing you should do, as well as things you shouldn’t do. Learning from other people’s mistakes is always much wiser than trying to learn from your own.
In the world of business, money talks. You can’t really do anything or see your business idea take off if you don’t have the financial side of things straight. A great idea can only take you so far. Sooner or later, you’re going to have to finance that idea and come up with new plans. Covering your costs is an important part of that. If you need financing, you should be very clear about where this is going to come from as well.
The early success your business may experience can sometimes be illusory. It might look great now, but is it sustainable in the long-term? This is one of those uncomfortable things that you need to be thinking about as an entrepreneur. It might not be very nice to have to think about what could go wrong for the business in the future. But without a plan in place for long-term and sustainable growth, your company and its central idea could burn brightly at first, before burning out.
You want your business to get its message across to the right kinds of people, don’t you? Well, you need to make sure that you’re taking advantage of online advertising to the fullest possible extent. These days, it’s possible to target people in very specific ways. If you want your business to appeal to 18-24 year-olds living in one country, that’s easy. You can be even more precise than that thanks to Facebook ads. You can target people with particular traits and interests too.
As someone looking to start a business by yourself, you won’t have a whole lot to work with. However, one thing you do have is yourself. You should make use of your personality and personal brand. That way, you can make yourself the face of your business. People like businesses that are human, rather than the bland corporate ones we’re so used to. As well as that, it will give you an added dimension to advertising and marketing via interviews and things like that.
Business ideas always need time to flourish. Don’t be put off or discouraged if you don’t see the results you want right away. Persist and make use of the steps described above to watch your idea eventually take off.
Subordinated creditors in German insolvency plan proceedings—Vae Victis?
I t is the very nature of subordinated claims that they are treated less favorably than senior claims in an insolvency proceeding. However, foreign investors in particular may be unpleasantly surprised when learning their legal situation in German insolvency plan proceedings. The 2013 reform of the German Insolvency Code (Gesetz zur weiteren Erleichterung der Sanierung von Unternehmen, or ESUG) resulted in stronger rights for secured creditors and the management of insolvent companies under the German Insolvency Code (“Code”) while subordinated creditors have been disenfranchised and are now regularly cut off from legal remedies. Consequently, subordinated (bond) creditors are often entirely wiped out without efficient remedies to appeal such decisions as was the case in Pfleiderer and IVG Immobilien. The reason is that the Code allows for a full waiver of subordinated claims in insolvency plan proceedings. Investors should be aware of these risks before making an investment in subordinated debt. The following summary is intended to give investors a better understanding of the legal position associated with subordinated debt.
Market participants in Germany are influenced by English terminology and frequently use the terms senior, mezzanine and junior debt when describing the relative rank of priority of their claims. However, it should be noted that the Code does not recognize these terms and that they have to be “translated” into German statutory law. In a technical sense, the Code solely recognizes two groups of insolvency creditors: ordinary insolvency creditors pursuant to § 38 of the Code and subordinated creditors pursuant to § 39 of the Code. Pursuant to the Code, secured creditors like secured bank-loan lenders become ordinary insolvency creditors if the enforcement proceeds out of the collateral are not sufficient to pay back their claims. The Code defines this group as creditors with the right to separate satisfaction (Absonderungsberechtigte Gläubiger). Based on this distinction, secured creditors often wear two hats in insolvency plan proceedings: one of a secured creditor (to the extent that the insolvency plan changes the rights of the secured creditors) and one of an unsecured ordinary insolvency creditor (to the extent that realization of collateral is not sufficient). Coming back to the abovementioned priority of debt (senior, mezzanine and junior debt), it is, of course, possible under German law to contractually agree on this kind of distinction. As a consequence, it is a common market practice that facility and intercreditor agreements governed by German law also contractually provide for these or comparable creditor groups and respective waterfall provisions. However, every investor should be well aware that contractual waterfall provisions are not fully in line with the statutory concept provided by the Code. This being said, contractual provisions may supersede the Code concept inter partes, but German law principally and solely recognizes creditors as ordinary insolvency creditors and subordinated creditors.
The most frequent reasons for a creditor qualifying as a subordinated creditor pursuant to § 39 of the Code are (a) explicit agreements according to which the creditor agrees to the subordination of his or her claims concerning the respective borrower, and (b) circumstances in which a creditor is deemed to be a quasi-shareholder or “equitable/shareholder subordination.” Here, we will focus only on the first group. A contractual subordination of claims in the sense of § 39 subsection 2 of the Code requires an explicit agreement between the creditor and the debtor. To the extent that bilateral credit or bond documentation contains a subordination clause in case of an insolvency proceeding, the Code provides a rebuttable presumption that the subordinated creditor ranks junior to ordinary insolvency creditors as well as to the subordinated debt as mentioned in § 39 subsection 1 No. 1 through No. 5 of the Code. This includes, but is not limited to: (a) interest and penalties for late payment accruing on the claims of the ordinary insolvency creditors from the opening of the insolvency proceedings, (b) costs incurred by individual insolvency creditors due to their participation in the proceedings and (c) even claims for restitution of a loan replacing equity capital or claims resulting from legal transactions corresponding in economic terms to such a loan. In this respect, it is noteworthy that typical LMA-based intercreditor agreements, which are concluded solely between certain groups of creditors who agree on different layers of debt, are generally not sufficient to trigger a technical subordination of junior creditors in insolvency proceedings in the sense of § 39 subsection 2 of the Code as long as a respective provision clearly lays out the concept that the subordination shall only apply among the creditors themselves and shall not apply for the benefit of the debtor (for example, via a contract to the benefit of a third party).
Based on a general decision of the German legislator, subordinated creditors have only limited rights and protections under the Code. The reason is that subordinated creditors shall not be in a position to block or hinder insolvency proceedings in which not even the ordinary insolvency creditors get repaid in full.
(c) access the court file of the proceedings.
(e) be represented in the (preliminary) creditors’ committees.
In insolvency plan proceedings, the Code contains a provision (§ 225 subsection 1) according to which subordinated claims are fully waived under a plan unless the plan specifically provides for a distribution for subordinated claims (see below under lit. 4 and 6). Based on this waiver, no class of subordinated claims is even formed under the insolvency plan. And without being grouped into a class, subordinated creditors do not get to vote on the plan. In other words, the law provides a mechanism which deprives subordinated creditors of all their claims without having a say or legal remedies (for example, by rendering evidence that the company actually has a higher value than asserted by either the management or higher ranking creditor groups).
(a) § 238a of the Code provides for a voting right of the shareholders to the extent that the insolvency plan impairs their rights who need to be crammed down in case of a dissenting vote of such group, § 245 of the Code; The subordinated creditors are principally not granted a voting right even if they lose 100% of their claims.
(b) The cramdown provision in § 245 subsection 3 of the Code provides special protection for shareholders with respect to their reasonable participation in the economic value of the insolvent company. The Code does principally not contain a similar provision for the benefit of subordinated creditors.
The background for granting shareholders the aforementioned rights is that a debate has taken place about the potential infringement of Art. 14 of the German Constitution that addresses property and expropriation. However, this debate has solely taken place in connection with shareholders while it is not apparent why subordinated creditors are less worthy of protection—especially in the light of Art. 3 of the German Constitution that addresses equality before the law.
(c) neither equity nor creditors that are junior to the dissenting class receive economic value and (d) the majority of the voting classes vote to approve the plan.
(d) files an appeal within two weeks of plan confirmation.
For a subordinated creditor, it is almost impossible to meet these prerequisites, especially the test regarding the liquidation scenario. First of all, subordinated creditors need to render evidence that they would receive a quota on their claim in a liquidation scenario. In other words, they have to provide evidence that all senior creditors (namely claims against the insolvent estate or Masseforderungen) as well as ordinary insolvency claims would get repaid in full in case of an insolvency. However, this is very rarely the case since insolvent companies are usually over-indebted, meaning their assets do not cover their existing payment obligations. Secondly, the applicant must demonstrate that the situation is “significantly” inferior, thus even increasing the obstacles for a successful appeal and making it a blunt sword for subordinated creditors.
In the Code, § 174 subsection 3 sent. 1 enables the insolvency court to issue a request to subordinated creditors to file a proof of claim. Following this request, subordinated creditors have increased rights since they have, among other things, the right to (a) vote in the insolvency plan proceedings and (b) form a group under the plan and receive the benefit of the cramdown protection. However, the Code does not define the circumstances under which the insolvency court should issue a respective request to the subordinated creditors. The competent judge has to make an economic assessment whether there are enough assets in order to fully pay the claims against the insolvent estate and the ordinary insolvency creditors and whether excess assets will be available to at least partly satisfy subordinated creditors. Experience has shown that judges are not inclined to dig deep into these highly complex economic questions. In this context, the following should be considered: Insolvency proceedings are often opened not only due to illiquidity, but also due to over-indebtedness (in other words, the assets of the insolvent company are not sufficient to cover its ordinary debt). In order to assess the situation of over-indebtedness, the judge rarely makes his or her own independent decision, but usually relies on one or more valuations provided either by the debtor (and its advisors) itself (in case of debtor-inpossession proceedings) and/or the insolvency administrator/trustee.
All aforementioned parties are usually not incentivized to push through higher valuations for the assets of the company that might put them in a situation where there is a discrepancy of the assessed (higher) value and the actually realized (lower) proceeds. Moreover, the automatic waiver of subordinated debt is a very handsome tool for both the debtor and his or her ordinary creditors since it increases the value of the company and reduces the number of recipients of proceeds at the same time. Once insolvency proceedings (based on these valuations) are opened, it is more or less impossible to show that sufficient assets are available to also satisfy subordinated creditors since (a) the judge would have to admit that his or her initial decision was not correct, and (b) German insolvency law does not recognize the concept of a “battle of valuations.” Therefore, the likelihood that a request according to § 174 subsection 3 sent. 1 of the Code based on an independent decision of the insolvency court is rather remote. The more likely scenario is that the insolvency administrator or the trustee (in case of debtor-in-possession proceedings) informs the insolvency court of the possibility for a distribution (like in the German Lehman Bank case), and the insolvency court issues the request on this information. Hence, § 174 subsection 3 sent. 1 of the Code does not provide a real angle for subordinated creditors. >> The German Insolvency Code does very little to support the legal position of subordinated creditors << In the Code, § 174 subsection 3 sent. 1 again comes into play via the exception of § 225 subsection 1 Code to the extent that the authors of the insolvency plan envision an independent group of subordinated creditors. If the insolvency plan foresees a special provision for subordinated creditors, for example, for tax reasons, the prerequisite for such a group formation is again the request of the insolvency court to the subordinated creditors to file a proof of claim. In such a scenario, it is again either the insolvent company (in case of debtor-in-possession proceedings) or the insolvency administrator who makes the respective request to the insolvency court. This being said, the subordinated creditors themselves again are not independently in a position to facilitate such a request, but need the support of either the insolvency company, the insolvency administrator or other groups of creditors. It may be the case that such support can be secured, for example, in cases in which subordinated creditors are willing to invest new funds in the insolvent company. In principal, however, ordinary creditors or the insolvent company itself are not incentivized to support the subordinated creditors. This is due to the fact that either proceeds would have to be shared or a debt burden would remain, which would otherwise be fully waived. As such, the avenues of escape are extremely narrow if at all existent.
The above has shown that the Code in its current version not only does very little to support the legal position of subordinated creditors, but makes the life of such creditors extremely cumbersome. A direct comparison with shareholders shows structural disadvantages that can hardly be justified. While criticism in this respect was already voiced directly after the implementation of the 2013 reform, the legislator should immediately (de lege ferenda) implement safeguards for the benefit of subordinated creditors to abolish the currently existing disadvantages and to ensure the necessary fundamental rights. Otherwise, the German marketplace runs the risk of subordinated (bond) debt no longer being available as a refinancing instrument. Investors will not be silently led to the slaughter.
In the last few years, Khloe Kardashian has undergone a dramatic body transformation. Anyone who follows her on social media knows the woman puts in hours at the gym, sweating it out.
On Friday, she had a bit of an epiphany after taking a selfie in the mirror, which revealed her incredibly toned abs.
"My fitness journey will be a life long journey. Fitness is not about being better than someone else… It's about being better than you used to be. I'm not where I want to be and who knows if I ever will be," she captioned the photo she shared on Instagram. "But I am healthier than ever and due to my consistent workouts, I am slowly seeing results. Hi baby abs 🙋!! I see you!!! I hope to meet your other ab friends soon 😝 (yes I'm talking to my muscles. I've never met most of them before)."
"Looking back at pictures of myself I didn't realize at the time how unhealthy my lifestyle actually was. People love to call me the fat one but as weird as it sounds I still don't think I would consider myself fat back then. Definitely overweight and unhealthy, yes. About two years ago I decided to turn to fitness as a form of therapy and as a stress reliever. I started slow and eventually I started working out 4 to 5 days a week," she wrote in the photo's caption.
She added, "We all have to start somewhere and doing something is better than nothing at all. Start small so you don't get discouraged and give up. Remember it is all about consistency. There are no quick fixes if you want long-term results. Working out is a huge part of my life now. I genuinely enjoy sweating out my frustrations and living a healthier life. My workouts are not all about vanity. They are about clarity for my mind and soul. We all have different journeys in life, make sure your journey is for you and you alone. Remember in the end the turtle won the race. Slow and steady. dedication and tenacity."

"Our SAN infrastructure is an open book - easy to read, but next to impossible to duplicate," says Jason Silverglate, CEO and chief architect of the company's storage solution. Silverglate says that his SAN was designed to deliver industry-leading performance with a high-level of reliability. The SAN's design includes redundant head nodes with redundant 10Gbps cards and redundant SAS 6Gbps wide internal SAS paths. The end result is two highly capable volumes that can achieve extremely high read and write speeds.
Jason remarks, "on Volume 1 we are able to achieve 1600MB/s read and 1300MB/s write. Mind you, Volume1 is our low performance Volume... Volume 2, which is our SSD volume can achieve 250,000 IOPS and can easily max out a few 10Gbps circuits."
That speed makes all the difference when it comes to cloud purposed storage and that is what Jason and his team are counting on. Earlier this year, DedicatedNOW partnered with OnApp to launch a managed private cloud solution. The DedicatedNOW private cloud solution allows customers to configure and deploy scalable, redundant hypervisors onto the SAN, connected through a redundant switch stack via multiple gigabit connections both to the Internet and The Company's own internal SAN network.
DedicatedNOW, provides managed dedicated servers and complex hosting solutions to customers in nearly 100 countries. More information about DedicatedNOW's private cloud and SAN technology is available on their website at http://cloud.dedicatednow.com.
For the past seven years, Jason and his team have been building and maintaining complex dedicated server environments for ecommerce companies. "We've learned allot about supporting and maintaining clusters and load balanced setups during that time," says Silverglate. "For starters, scalability is a problem with physical clusters. You can't expand resources at a moment's notice. Servers need to be brought down for upgrades, planning needs to go into making these kinds of changes." With the expansion of cloud technology, many of the constraints within the physical world are done away with.
Jason and his team have been developing their cloud technology for the past two years from the Company's New Jersey based datacenter. A cornerstone of that development has been improving on some of the downfalls of complex hosting. Jason commented on the benefits of the shift to virtualization, "when we move a complex setup to a virtual environment, we lose those physical constraints. We can scale horizontally and vertically and for less money".
Ditlev Bredahl, CEO of OnApp, has worked with FortressITX throughout the development of their cloud. Bredahl remarks, "I'm impressed by the significant investments Fortress has made into their SAN infrastructure. When speaking with our own clients, I often recommend that they take a look at the storage technology that Jason and FortressITX have designed, before investing in their own." Silverglate claims that the Company's SAN storage is capable of performance that most never thought possible in a virtualized environment, due to its unique architecture.
Jason will be presenting his ideas on virtualization at the OnApp booth (#313) on Tuesday, Aug. 9th at 11:45AM and again on Wednesday, Aug. 10th at 12:45PM.
