Abstract: A tubular channeling unit including a grounded external metal sheathing and an internal longitudinal cavity, and method for laying such a tubular channeling unit by suspension on a high voltage aerial power line system including at least two towers supporting a set of high voltage electrical conductors suspended from the towers at a specified height above the ground and at a minimum predetermined safety level.
Abstract: An EID or RFID transponder having an encapsulant with an open end to allow insertion of the transponder circuitry and a phase changing material such as an epoxy used to both secure the circuitry of the transponder within the encapsulant and seal the open end of the encapsulant.
Abstract: A connector A includes a plurality of conductors. Each conductor consists of a contact 1, a terminal piece member 2, and a connecting conductor 3 connecting the contact 1 with the terminal piece member 2. The conductors are respectively held on a body 10 of the connector. The connecting conductors 3 are arranged in three layers in such a position relationship that can prevent them from short-circuiting each other and also can prevent a crosstalk from being produced between them. In this structure, the connecting conductors 3 are arranged in two or more levels, which makes it easier for the connector to be designed for prevention of the crosstalk when compared with a structure in which the connecting conductors 3 are arranged in one plane.

Over the past 8 days I co-led an 8-day journey inspired by the adventures of some of the greatest naturalists from the past couple of centuries, particularly John Muir, Mark Twain, and Charles Darwin. Our journey began where Rte 15 intersects the Long Trail in Johnson. We climbed 4000 feet along the spine of the Green Mountains, postholing through 2 feet of snow at Mt Mansfield's peak and then drifting back down into the Winooski River Valley where we picked up our canoes and paddled our way to Lake Champlain. The trip covers about 85 miles of river and trail and traverses a wide variety of habitats and natural communities. We kept a list of wildlife species along the way, amassing a somewhat impressive list. As we're at the tail end of the migratory season for birds, we emphasized this taxon. At the end of the trip we had seen and/or heard 75 different species of birds (organized below by rough habitat description). Not bad! | [

With the development of fiber optic communication technology and dense wavelength dividion multiplexing system, optical networking has become the trend of network development. Light-linkk network technology to achieve major progress depends on the optical switch, optical filters, optical smplifiers, dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) technology devices and technology. Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing technology development is an important factor in promoting the development of all optical communication raised will enable optical networking equipment manufacturers, telecom operators are facing great opportunities and challenges.
The optical switch is the key in all-optical switching devices, can be realized in all-optical layer routing, wavelength selection, optical cross-connect and self-healing protection function. The main application of optical switch include:
Optical cross connect (OXC). OXC optical switch array, dynamic path of light, optical network fault protection, and the flexibility to add new services. Optical cross-connect switch with low insertion loss, low crosstalk, low swtichuing time as well as non-blocking operation. MEMS technology is now entering the experimental stage in the optical switching applicatioins want to achieve the exchange of the light absorbing layer are transparent to the wavelength, the data rate and signal format, in the near futre.
Run out of networl switches enable automatic protection switching. When a fiber break or a transmission failure occurs, it is possible to change the business transmission path via the optical switch, and to achieve the protection of the business. Normally this protection swithcing only 1×2 port of the optical switch can be achieved.
1xN optical swithc network monitoring. Test point in the distal end of the optical fiber by the 1xN optical switch and the plurality of optical fibers via the optical switch connnected to an optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR), switching to achieve monitoring of all fibers. Or online analysis into the network analyzer.
Optical fiber communication device test. Optical devices, fiber optic cable, and subsystem products in the testing process, you can use the optical switch test multiple devices at the same time simplifying the test, and improve efficiency.
OADMs. MAN mainly used in the ring, to achieve a single wavelength and multiple wavelength from the optical path up and down freely. The OADM can run out of the switch to achieve the dynamic up and down any wavelength through software control, this will increase the flexibility of the network configuration. | [

EPFL’s CO2 balance has been developed from a life cycle analysis established with the EPFL spin-off Quantis. The figure above illustrates the carbon balance from 2006 to 2021 and refers to the objectives of the Confederation (-50% by 2030 compared to 2006, except for professional mobility (-30% compared to 2006)). The balance takes into account data from the main campus in Ecublens as well as from the associated campus in Valais, Neuchâtel and Fribourg. The energy data from Geneva are not included in the balance. It includes 4 themes: energy (electricity, fuel oil and gas), business travel, commuting and nutrition (see below).
Feel free to contact us for any questions or information about the calculations/assumptions used.
EPFL purchases significant amounts of electricity each year (approximately 73 GWh in 2019). Since 2012 and until the end of 2019, the accounted carbon impact of electricity was very low thanks to the purchase of guarantees of origin (GO) certifying the purchase of renewable electricity. Thus, in 2020, the electricity mix purchased by EPFL from Romande Energie consisted of 97.5% of Swiss hydroelectricity and 2.5% of photovoltaic electricity (corresponding to what is produced on EPFL roofs). The impact factor associated with hydropower was set at 7.3 g CO2 eq/ kWh in 2012 by Quantis and used as such until the end of 2019.
According to accounting based on purchase of certificates of origin, the emission reduction target would have already been reached as early as 2019, while electricity consumption increased by 35% between 2006 and 2018.
Since 2020 and according to recommendations of the committee of experts consulted in the framework of the elaboration of EPFL’s Climate & Sustainability Plan, EPFL has chosen to calculate its carbon footprint using an emission factor that considers the place of production of electricity but also the impact linked to imports/exports and seasonal variation. This helps to reflect the true impact of campus’ electricity needs and the actions needed to reduce that impact.
The emission factor taking into account imports/exports chosen for EPFL is the one recommended by the Federal Office for the Environment (FOEN) (Verbraucher Strom-mix) in April 2021: 128g CO2-eq/kWh.
Carbon Accounting for Electricity
Carbon accounting for electricity can be very complex depending on methodologies used to convert electricity into carbon equivalents. Indeed, depending on the chosen methodological approach, considering or not the import/export of electricity, the carbon emission factor of electricity in Switzerland (Swiss mix) can vary from 30 g to 128 g CO2-eq/kWh (FOEN 2021). The choice of the highest factor considers the real consumption of electricity in Switzerland and permits to integrate the significant impact linked to importation in winter, in particular from countries using coal-fired power plants.
EPFL uses the latter approach to reflect the real impact of its campus electricity needs and the actions to be taken to reduce its GHG emissions.
The gas consumed was mainly used for heating (60%) and laboratory processes (40%). Exceptionally, due to the renovation works of the campus’ Heat Pump Power Plant (CCT), the consumption of gas for heating is higher over the period 2019-2021.
Starting from winter 2021-22, the part of gas used for heating has been strongly reduced as the heat pump power plant only use electricity as energy source.
The remaining part depends on laboratory processes.
Fuel oil was used as a secondary heating source for the operation of the CCT in very cold temperatures. For information, with the renewal of the CCT, oil consumption ceased in 2019. However, the part consumed during the 2019 year-end remains.
The data are based on the mobility survey offered to employees and students. Measures implemented within the framework of the Mobility Plan, such as the new parking policy, the reinforcement of the public transport offer as well as the promotion of cycling, show positive effects with a strong decrease in the modal share of individual motorized transport.
Business and student travel
The values are calculated from data provided by EPFL’s central travel agency. Student travel data correspond to all trips abroad made as part of the university curriculum (internships, academic exchanges, Master’s projects and study trips). These data are reflected in EPFL’s CO2 balance since 2019.
The revision of the Directive for Responsible Business and Student Travel, the reinforcement and promotion of videoconferencing tools and the organization of awareness campaigns are part of the strategy to reduce travel-related CO2 emissions.
This theme is now one of the priorities for action in terms of sustainability. Values were calculated according to the number of vegetarian and non-vegetarian meals consumed on campus through the end of 2018. Since 2019, reporting is more detailed and based on restaurant purchase data as well as discarded organic waste. | [

Financial Imbalances, Crisis Probability and Monetary Policy in Norway
MetadataVis full innførsel
We assess the strength of the impact of a monetary policy shock on financial crisis probability in Norway. Policy effects go via the interest rate impact on credit, house prices and banks’ wholesale funding. We find that the impact of a monetary policy shock on crisis probability is about 10 times larger than what previous studies suggest. The large impact is mostly due to a fall in property prices and banks’ wholesale funding in response to a contractionary monetary policy shock. In contrast, and in line with existing literature, there is a more limited contribution to reduced crisis probability from the impact of monetary policy on credit. | [

A: Keep the hair clean. We suggest that you wash the hair at least once or twice every 2weeks with warm or cold water. Please wash the hair immediately after swimming, spa, exercise, and etc. When dirt and sweat accumulate, hair tangles. Too much leave-in conditioners and other hair care products will create a build up on the hair and will cause it to tangle faster. If the hair feels dry or heavy with build up, wash it with good shampoo & conditioner. It would be advisable NOT TO TINT, COLOR, PERM OR DO ANY EXTRA CHEMICAL PROCESSES because it has already been treated. Please be extra careful with blonde and other light colored hair.
What is a lace wig?
A: Lace wig is a kind of wig with a mesh-shaped lace on the cap and all the hairs are hand-tied individually. In order to make the lace more comfortable, you can trim the lace to match your skin.
The wigs shall be used with special adhesives or tape, and therefore, the hairline seems to be natural on sight and touch. Lace wig looks like your own growing hair, and is used on celebrities, musicians and models. Even pop stars like Beycone, Tyra banks, Jessica Simpson and Jennifer Lopez are all wearing lace wigs. With a lace wig, you can change your hair style everyday as you like and do not worry about the damage of your own real hair.
What is the difference between lace front wig and full lace wig?
A: Lace front wig has lace on the front perimeter, and does not extend around to the back of the wig.
Thus the lace front wig cannot be worn in a high ponytail that expose the back, or parted at the back where the scalp would be visible.
Full lace wig has lace throughout and can be worn in a high ponytail, and parted | [

“Rothenburg ob der tauber,” repeated the kid, rolling her r’s and her eyes, “Why do you like going to places with weird names, mum?” She had a point. I have a penchant for places with unpronounceable names. But then, they are all also outstanding places to visit. And Rothenburg ob der tauber (from henceforth to spare my fingers, Rothenburg will be mentioned as Rodt) is an impossibly outstandingly pretty town. A tourist haven, a photographer’s mecca, a toy town, this town deserves time and lots of it. One day is not enough for sure.
The name Rothenburg ob der Tauber means red fortress on the Tauber river. It was the first stop on our drive along the romantic road of Germany, a 350 km long road connecting Würzburg to Füssen, a drive I’d been dreaming about for months. This was the day to pick up the car and drive to Rodt, which meant double the excitement. We ate a hearty breakfast at our Würzburg hotel where, true to character, I spilt all the coffee over the table, and then cabbed it to the Sixt rental. We’d chosen a downtown pickup to save money on the pricier airport/train rentals, and were off to an early start, with me desperately praying for an upgrade from the chosen Volkswagen Golf. Apparently if they don’t have a car of your requested category, they provide a free upgrade. Fingers crossed.
We had a small panic situation when the hubby’s credit card couldn’t be swiped and they refused to accept any other card or cash as the security. A call from the hubby to the Indian bank sorted it out and we followed the Sixt guy out to the car pickup area, with me holding my breath. I saw a gorgeous yellow low-slung car and grabbed the hubby’s arm. “It’s a 2 door, silly, ” he said. “It’s fine,” I said, “The kid will jump over into her seat. And if she won’t, we’ll dump the kid here. Anything is ok for this car.” While this intense discussion was on, the Sixt guy crossed the car. “No problems, ” I said, looking lustily at a bright red BMW. “Keep dreaming,” said hubby. The sixt guy still walked. He walked past a cheery red Volkswagen, a jet black Volkswagen, an unaffordable convertible (sigh!), and then he stopped. Right beside an ugly dull grey Volkswagen Golf. I hate grey cars, simply hate them. “It’s ok,” I told myself, “Get in with your eyes closed, the interiors are good.” “Take pics of the exterior,” ordered the hubby. Ugggghhhhh. Anyways, the car was a sweet ride, sturdy and stable, and took us through the next 9 days safely, so I shouldn’t complain. Keep still my beating heart.
Excited as hell, we got out of Würzburg city pretty quickly, said goodbye to the lovely river and the empty vineyards and hello to the romantic strasse. Miles and miles of narrow tarmac surrounded by green meadows, rows of yellow wildflowers and topped by blue skies, this is the stuff road trips are made of. Add the two most important people of your life, and you know why its called the romantic road.
Of course, one must get off the road once in a while to be part of the fields of gold.
An enjoyable 2 hours drive through the pretty countryside of Bavaria and we were just short of our destination. I was looking about for the river Tauber, on which the town of Rothenburg is perched. While I was hunting in the valley, the hubby pointed out a tall hill with scores of brown roofs and said, “That’s your town.”
Rodt sits high on the hill and a lot of gentle upward curves took us to the town itself. Like all walled towns, it has expanded beyond the walls and we drove through a small part of the unwalled bit before entering the main walled town to get to our hotel Garni Kreuzerhof.
This small family-run bed and breakfast was the best hotel of the trip for me. Though they were cleaning when we arrived, they made our room ready in 10 minutes. The huge home-like room had a piano just outside it and the kid enjoyed playing while we settled in. The icing on the cake for her was a cute dog that she petted for ages.
Camera and Rick Steve’s (RS) guide book in hand, we set off to explore each little street of this fabulous historic town (my plan at least). Rothenburg is a medieval walled town with a plethora of half timbered houses and pretty flower | [

> Yeah I don't think any trucking company is going to be looking too hard at Tesla
In business, we have a series of habits. One of those is called market research.
Read those PR reports much more carefully. JB Hunt and the Walmart Division of China Manufacturing haven't written checks or signed agreements. They've "expressed an interest" and other wiggle words.
I'll bet that those demo trucks were mostly a shell and pretty rough underneath the covers. To have a proper deliverable vehicle in 2019, they need to have a dozen or more trucks on the road being driven hard every day right now. It's going to take a couple of years of all weather driving and breaking things to get it ready for production. They will also have to get premises to build them, make tooling, create testing jigs and on and on. A company such as Navistar already has facilities, experience and legacy components to draw on and Tesla will need to come up with all of that from scratch. There is also the matter of certifications so they will need some pre-production units that can be destroyed and possibly more if the design changes substantially. | [

Hollywood actor Mickey Rourke created a stir after he played Robert ‘Boogie’ Sheftell, the soft-talking beautician, in Barry Levinson’s drama comedy Diner (1982). For his superb acting in the movie, the actor took home a Boston Society of Film Critics Award and a National Society of Film Critics Award. Rourke also gave a solid portrayal of poet and alcoholic Henry Chinaski in the romantic comedy Barfly (1987), where he received an Independent Spirit nomination. The distinctive performer has played roles in numerous titles, including the well-known, Francis Ford Coppola’s Rumble Fish (1983), the Sean Penn-directed The Pledge (2001), Once Upon a Time in Mexico (2003, for director Robert Rodriguez) and the action biopic Domino (2005).
Aside from acting, Rourke once had an insubstantial career as a boxer, despite his undefeated record in matches. Due to an injury, he retired and returned to acting.
“You get desensitized to pain and for three and a half years, I developed these symptoms of Brain Damage. You forget what you did the night before. You have to get out when the doctors tell you to; otherwise you’re on queer street for the rest of your life. One doctor said to me before a big fight, ‘Your neurological report doesn’t look too good.’ I was like four fights away from a big, big fight and he said, ‘Mickey, how much are they paying you? Look at your tests; you won’t be able to count the money.’” Mickey Rourke
Outside the spotlight, the owner of seven tattoos (including symbol for IRA, Irish Republican Party) once provoked controversy by saying that he had donated part of his acting fee to the IRA. In July 1994, he was arrested by the Los Angeles Police Department and charged with spousal abuse. As for his romantic life, the ex-husband of Debra Feuer was also once married to Carre Otis.
Childhood and Family:
Mickey Rourke was born Philip Andre Rourke Jr. on July 16, 1956, in Schenectady, New York. After his parents, Philip A Rourke and Ann Rourke divorced, his mother married former police officer Gene Addis. However, due to his stepfather’s violent habits, his mother divorced him. Mickey, who once was called “The Human Ashtray” by fellow actress Kim Basinger, is also credited as ‘Sir’ Eddie Cook in his screenwriting work.
As a teenager, Mickey moved to Miami Beach with his family and attended Miami Beach Senior High School. At the time, he also briefly took an acting class with Jay Jenson. However, his growing interest in boxing led him to fight in a number of amateur matches and brought about a 20-4 amateur boxing record with 17 knockouts. Then, choosing to learn more about acting, he studied at the Actors Studio in New York.
On a more private note, Mickey was married to actress Debra Feuer in 1981, but the couple divorced eight years later. He then tied the knot with actress Carre Otis (born on September 28, 1968) in 1992. Unfortunately, that union also ended in divorce.
Mickey Rourke made his first appearance on the silver screen with the small role of Private Reese in Stephen Spielberg’s comedy 1941 (1979). He went to the small screen and had the supporting role of Tony Pate in the drama City in Fear (1980) and followed it up with the part of arsonist Teddy Lewis in the Lawrence Kasdan-directed thriller Body Heat (1981).
Rourke’s distinctive performances soon were in the radar of director Barry Levinson, who cast the new actor as Robert ‘Boogie’ Sheftell, the soft-talking beautician, in the drama comedy Diner (1982). Rourke’s excellent performance earned a Boston Society of Film Critics and a National Society of Film Critics award for Best Supporting Actor. The victory was ensued with the leading turn in the Francis Ford Coppola-directed Rumble Fish (1983, opposite Matt Dillon), The Pope of Greenwich Village (1984, starred as Charlie Moran), the Oliver Stone-written Year of the Dragon (1985) and Nine 1/2 Weeks (1986, as John).
Rourke’s fine turn as poet and alcoholic Henry Chinaski in Barbet Schroeder’s romantic comedy Barfly (1987) brought him an Independent Spirit nomination for Best Male Lead. The actor then wrote the screenplay for the drama Homeboy (1988), in which he also starred as Johnny Walker, an aging alcoholic boxer. He also took the titular role of the St-Francis of Assisi in the docudrama Francesco (1989), before starring opposite his wife Car | [

Free Software challenges you to learn: to do for yourself, to be fearlessly independent when it comes to your tech. In the past few years I have taken pride in watching my skill base catchup with and overtake that of my proprietary-loving peers, even some paid professionals, simply by having a free and curious mindset. Free Software frees you in many ways.
The Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) brings together dedicated and engaged activists from all over Europe to seize the opportunities to secure our rights to use, share, study, and improve software because without Free Software, technology subjugates us instead of enhancing our freedom.
I joined the Fellowship to stop being \'a minority of one\', as George Orwell once put it. I wanted to meet people who shared my ideals and beliefs, so it would no longer feel as if I was fighting the system all by myself. It\'s reassuring to know that you\'re not alone, which probably motivates people to keep up with the work they are doing, even if it\'s not always as successful as they would like it to be.
Freedom is one of the core values of our Society and one of the basic concepts of Democracy. Supporting and spreading Free Software is one way to build creative alternatives for social inclusion and to protect our citizens from the digital exploitation. We are responsible to build a better World as a gift for our future generations.
I\'m very impressed with what the FSFE has achieved on the EU and national level. Back when I was working in the public sector I was able to glimpse the vast amounts of money that are thrown at lobbying for proprietary software and so called industry standards in Germany and the EU. It\'s astonishing how the FSFE has still managed to get itself heard. Supporting this was one of my motivations for becoming a fellow.
Free software is important in our time. It needs professional representation which is hard work and expensive. Joining the fellowship meant a way for me to contributing my skills and some money back to the free software movement to ensure it\'s future.
I was a solitary voice for years, explaining the principles behind Free Software and its importance for people in my country in numerous articles and blog posts. I wanted to belong to an organization with the goal of building the digital society on 100% free software, and supporting the FSFE and gaining access to its blogging and fellowship infrastructure seemed like a logical first step.
I joined the Fellowship because Free Software helps to bring more and real freedom into the world. To fight for this is my goal as a Fellow of the FSFE.
I believe that actions of support for the FSFE are important for encouraging Free Software development and adoption in Europe as well as the rest of the world. I\'m an FSFE Fellow because financially supporting the cause of Free Software brings positive improvements to all societies throughout the world.
I\'m a free sofware supporter for a long time, I fought against software patents in Brussels, co-organised the system theme at the Libre Software Meeting (RMLL) and run a Free Software company. Free Software is an essential part of our global freedom, so it was natural to become a Fellowship member at the FSFE.
Free software and FSFE is to me: sharing, learning, being independent of monopolies, producing things together, passion and freedom! Since I\'ve been a Fellow, I am finding new friends who help me in Free Software and other topics, teaching new things every day even though we are kilometers away. It is magnificent to be in a community that continually supports my Free Software passion and motivation!
Free Software needs a voice in politics. We volunteers do amazing things together, but some tasks are not that much fun, or are time sensitive or need extensive expertise. FSFE can only tap its full potential with paid staff to do the things the volunteers wouldn\'t get to. By now, I met all of the staff and can say that I don\'t regret a cent I\'ve given to allow the FSFE to operate. | [

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ5 is a very good ultra zoom camera, just like its predecessor. Some of the changes were welcome: a higher resolution CCD, larger LCD, and much faster focusing. Some things got a bit worse: the lens is now slower. And some things didn’t change: composing photos in low light is frustrating. But if you don’t want to carry around the monster that is the DMC-FZ20, this is a great choice. The FZ5 takes very sharp (maybe too much so) 5 Megapixel photos with nice color and no purple fringing. The lens on this camera, while not as nice as the one on the FZ20, is still way better than average: F2.8-3.3, 12X zoom. | [

Hey all,right now I'm builing a UAV using thermopile sensors for stability. Now I have an xy sensor and a z sensor both from FMA.
Now I'm quite certain that the z sensor I'm using is a different type, but I feel I could adjust the gain to get the right…

NAUGATUCK — The borough is considering three possible locations for a new industrial park that could be built within the next year or two.
A committee formed to explore potential locations met for the first time last week and decided to focus on land parcels all larger than 10 acres apiece at: property near 900 Prospect St. on the Naugatuck/Prospect line; a second off South Main Street in Waterbury near the Waterbury/Naugatuck line; and a third at 912 New Haven Road.
“While they are looking at those three parcels, I’ve encouraged everyone on the committee to scour the rest of the borough looking for industrial sites of larger than 10 acres that could be developed,” Mayor N. Warren “Pete” Hess said.
Building a second industrial park here was a stated objective in Hess’ campaign for mayor. While it has been discussed by officials for several years, this is the first time a mayor has organized a committee to look into potential locations. Hess was elected in November.
Currently, the Naugatuck Economic Development Corporation fields two to three calls a week from potential investors looking to build businesses here, NEDC President and Chief Executive Officer Ron Pugliese said. However, he said, there are very few borough-owned buildings and flat land parcels to show the developers. He believes Naugatuck would have no problem filling a new industrial park.
Naugatuck’s current industrial park, off Union City Road, has three vacant lots and none of them are flat. They would require a significant amount of leveling work before someone could build upon them, officials say.
Burgess Laurie Taf Jackson, who is on the committee, said she believes Hess is moving in the right direction to focus on this initiative right away.
“I think it’s important to try to get some new businesses in town and to build the tax base,” she said. “It may take a while, but you have to start somewhere and the committee is moving forward.”
One of the locations that the committee is exploring is flat and has already been approved by land use boards as a planned design district, which allows owner James Warren to potentially develop the property for industrial condominiums. Warren, who operates Fulling Mills Development, owns the property in the 900 block of Prospect Street.
The second potential location is at 912 New Haven Road. It is owned by Matty’s Paving and Construction, whose chief executive officer is Patrick Graziano of Watertown.
And the third location is a piece of property that is largely in Naugatuck but is owned by the City of Waterbury. That property, near the base of the current Naugatuck Industrial Park and behind the new Veterans of Foreign Wars hall on South Main Street in Waterbury, has been discussed as a potential location for new commercial or industrial development for several years.
Hess said the borough is working with Waterbury Mayor Neil O’Leary to determine ways to develop the site.
Hess would not say which site he prefers but said he is confident the project can be built in the short term.
“In my mind, this is a project that I would like to see commence” in 2016, he said. “In a longer term and in a larger fashion, we’re looking hopefully toward the Uniroyal piece in the future. I look at this project that we’re talking about now as more of an immediate project that would be ready to go hopefully in a one-to-two-year time frame.” | [

Wise use and care for aquatic resources – in spite of the economic crisis
For the first time even along with the state authorities, fishermen associations and fish processing enterprises, WWF, which is the international nature conservation NGO, – took part in such forum. The issues of food safety were discussed, as well as the legal initiatives and the plans of the government to have a double increase of fish and seafood harvests in the national waters: up to 6,5 million metric tons of fish by the year 2020.
“With such kind of planning it is often forgotten that rather ambitious tasks and objectives could not be achieved without wise and careful use of aquatic biological resources and marine ecosystems”, - says Konstantin Zgurovsky, Head of WWF Russian Marine Programme and the member of Public Advisory Council at the Russian State Agency on Fisheries. - These resources are not just coal or oil resources that are on one hand limited, and on the other hand – irreplaceable. That is why I proposed to include in the draft of Round-table recommendations the paragraph on the needs to secure conservation and sustainable use of national fish and seafood resources. Which means that the large-scale poaching should be eliminated, effective habitat conservation has to be secured, - including development and designation of marine sanctuaries and fisheries reserves. Special conservation status has to be assigned to the main spawning and reproduction areas, and ecosystem-based fisheries management has to be introduced”.
Konstantin Zgurovsky also considers that aquatic biological resources have to be used more efficiently. “If these resources are used inefficiently the fishermen are forced to over-harvest in order to compensate for the increasing losses related to costs of fuel, salaries to fishing crew etc. Thus it happens that low efficiency of the fishing fleet and low level of fish and seafood processing are among the main factors that determine deterioration of fish and invertebrate resources”. | [

Global dental handpiece market is segmented on the basis of product types, speed of hand, application and geography. A dental handpiece is used to polish, remove tooth structures and shape teeth. The factors driving the market include the rise in aging population, oral diseases, and dental clinics. Dental handpiece comes across as an instrument using electricity or air for generating a rotary cutting motion, analogous to how a drill operates. Handpieces are often organized by speed range (low speed or high speed); which determines the best-suited applications.
Conventional high speed applications are inclusive of finishing restorations and cutting tooth structure whereas low speed handpieces have a plethora of applications inclusive of endodontics, caries removal, implantology and prophylaxis. Air-driven high speed handpiece conventionally doesn’t exceed 400,000 rpms, whereas air-driven low speed handpiece generally operates at less than 40,000 rpms. Electric handpiece does offer the advantage of more torque, which could translate to reliable, smooth cutting ability all across a broad range of speeds.
Dental handpieces have adapted to new technologies to ensure higher efficiency to lessen time in removal of hard tissues and are substantially replacing conventional high-speed or low-speed handpieces in the market. These dental handpiece motor RPMs range between 100 and 400,000, with a constant torque for cutting through the hard tissues. Novel dental handpiece models have automatic reversing feature for endodontics procedures, owing to which these devices are now becoming more popular among dental practitioners seeking more flexibility in the entire functionality and reducing noise levels during operations.
However, high cost structure on the part of dental handpiece devices, heavy material, and the other conventional technologies such as laser along with brand loyalty are certain restraints with regards to the dental handpiece market. This adoption of new technology by dentists around the world is actually a value-based shift payment for providers of dental handpieces. Based on product types, the dental handpiece market is segmented into air-driven handpieces, electric handpieces, and hybrid air-electric handpieces and so on.

Submit an application to the Tehsildar requesting the correction of your name in the revenue records. Following an inquiry, the Tehsildar will prepare a report to be submitted to the SDM. Based on this report, the SDM will rectify the mistake by adding the title ‘Verma’ after your name. Similarly, follow the same procedure to initiate the correction of your father’s name in the land records.
To initiate a correction in Khatauni (record of rights) in compliance with the Uttar Pradesh Land Revenue Code, follow these general steps. Start by visiting the local revenue office, commonly known as the Tehsildar’s office, where land records, including Khatauni, are maintained. Gather all relevant supporting documents, including the existing Khatauni, survey reports, and any evidence necessary for the correction.
Be sure to make a clear explanation of the correction needed. Attach copies of all supporting documents to substantiate your request. Submit the completed application along with the supporting documents to the Tehsildar or the designated officer at the revenue office. Follow up regularly with the revenue office to monitor the status of your application, inquiring about any additional information required or the progress of the correction process.
The Tehsildar or designated officer will conduct an inquiry, verify the details, and prepare a report based on the submitted documents. This report, along with the application and supporting documents, will be submitted to the Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) for further action.
The SDM, based on the report, will take the necessary steps to rectify the mistake in the Khatauni, which may involve adding or correcting information such as names or titles. Once the correction is made, obtain a copy of the updated Khatauni, reflecting the accurate details. | [

SLTU-2008 - First International Workshop on Spoken Languages Technologies for Under-Resourced Languages
Grapheme based speech recognition is a powerful tool for rapidly creating automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems in new languages. For purposes of language independent or cross language speech recognition it is necessary to identify similar models in the different languages involved. For phoneme based multilingual ASR systems this is usually achieved with the help of a language independent phoneme set and the corresponding phoneme identities in the different languages. For grapheme based multilingual ASR systems this is only possible when there is an overlap in graphemes of the different scripts involved. Often this is not the case, as for example for Thai which graphemes does not have any overlap with the graphemes of the languages that we used for multilingual grapheme based ASR in the past. In order to be able to apply our multilingual grapheme model to Thai, and in order to incorporate Thai into our multilingual recognizer, we examined and evaluated a number of data driven distance measures between the multilingual grapheme models. For our purposes distance measures that rely directly on the parameters of the models, such as the Kullback-Leibler and the Bhatthacharya distance yield the best performance.

Airport Cities have gained momentum all over the world in the last decades. However, Airport City planning often follows a one-size-fits-all blueprint approach, with many elements incompatible with the regional, economic, and cultural context. Using a general aviation Airport City in Adelaide in South Australia as the case context, we survey the retail choices of airport users and compare them with existing facilities and those retail facilities at Airport Cities of large commercial airports from the literature and industry examples. We found that desired retail facilities at Airport City Parafield are widely different from those at large-scale commercial hub airports and commonly promoted in the Airport City literature. The results indicate that preferences for retail facilities in the Airport City differ depending on the airport user groups, which are determined by the role of the airport. These findings suggest that the often practised one-size-fits-all approach in Airport City planning should be reconsidered. In summary, this study helps to augment both knowledge and practice by reinforcing the importance of planning retail facilities in Airport Cities in alignment with the airport role, the airport user groups, and the regional, economic, and cultural context.

OBJECTIVE: Pulmonary metastasectomy is performed routinely in selected patients with metastatic spreading to the lungs. According to current guidelines, the tumour biology should be taken into account when selecting patients for a resection. Carbonic anhydrase IX (CA9) expression has been shown to be a common feature in primary tumour growth and metastasis and it negatively affects the clinical outcome in various malignancies. Data on CA9 in pulmonary metastases are lacking.
METHODS: Forty-four patients with primary colorectal cancer (CRC) who underwent curative pulmonary metastasectomy were included in this study. We determined the expression of CA9 in pulmonary metastases and corresponding primaries by immunohistochemistry. The expression level was correlated with clinical parameters and patients' smoking habits. Furthermore, the impact of nicotine treatment on phosphorylation of STAT3, HIF-1α and CA9 expression was assessed in HT29 cells.
RESULTS: High expression of CA9 in resected pulmonary metastases and corresponding primary tumours correlated with early spreading to the lung (both P < 0.001). Moreover, CA9 expression was affected by the smoking habits of the patients. Treating HT29 cells with nicotine resulted in an induction of CA9 in vitro. This induction was associated with STAT3 phosphorylation and was independent of HIF-1α.
CONCLUSIONS: This study provides first evidence of CA9 expression in pulmonary metastases of CRC and suggests a role of CA9 as a prognostic marker. Moreover, our in vitro and in vivo data indicate an association between tobacco smoking and CA9 expression. Immunohistochemical assessment of CA9 expression might serve as an additional tool in decision-making for selecting patients for pulmonary metastasectomy. | [

SEOUL, Nov. 29 (Korea Bizwire) — Food waste thrown away by supermarkets will be recycled into compost for use on farms working as suppliers for the supermarkets.
GS Retail Co., a major South Korean retailer and GS The Fresh, a supermarket franchise, have decided to produce compost by using food waste from manufacturing facilities and offer it free-of-charge to farms working as the company’s suppliers.
GS Retail is the first retail company to create a circulation model using food waste as compost. The company expects that the compost will replace 27 percent of all compost used by suppliers.

For a amp meter to function properly all power needs to go through it. (Charge and discharge)
You will find that the usual wiring has the altinator out put going to the battery from the battery there is a lead that goes to the starter solenoid and from there is where the main feed goes to the fuse box.
Wiring direction - disconnect both wires from the starter solenoid and disconnect the charge wire that goes to the battery.
Reconnect the wire from the battery to the starter solenoid and run a new wire from this connection to the amp meter -ve. Run a wire from the positive of the amp meter and connect it to the main feed (which was disconnected from the start solenoid and tee in the alternator wire. You might find it easier to extend the main feed and alt wire and connect both to the amp meter.
If gauge works in reverse change wires on rear - you can't damage the gauge but use a sufficiently heavy gauge wire. - Nothig worse then the smell of melting insulation | [

Mobile Apps are arguably the fastest growing communication channel and needless to say, Android, Mango and the I-series Apps are here to stay. Along with the growing number of mobility users, the fastest growing challenge is Information Insecurity.
Let’s look at a few familiar security threats first. Data leakage and Data loss via weak software, Operating systems and third party applications coupled with threats posed by Trojans and mobile malware rule the roost. Not far behind are the challenges posed by inefficient and insufficient API architecture, management design tools, unsecured networks, unencrypted data transmissions, vulnerable handheld devices and accessories. So do you think you have it all under control? Well not yet!
The shallowest pit is the proximal hacking concept propelled by the theory of Near-field Communications. Rogue access points and Rogue marketplaces are hubs for this proximity driven hacking where cyber criminals “bump” into mobile devices (smart phones) and extract sensitive/confidential data. A layman example of this theory would be the typical case of credit card info that you store on a smart phone, and you use the smart phone to pay for your purchase by holding the smart phone near the Point of Sale. Voila! It’s the same near-field communication theory that works here. Did you know that this is the same theory that crooks use to hack your data.
According to Dan Hubbard, chief technology officer for Internet security provider OpenDNS who is the lead contributor to the Cloud Security Alliance’s new report, Top Threats to Mobile Computing, “nearly two-thirds of survey respondents believe near-field communications will result in more proximity-based hacking in 2013 as thieves using skimmers or other technology capture credit card and other financial data stored on Smart phones”.

We explored high-energy and high-peak-power pulse generation in large-core multimode fiber amplifiers, achieving what is to our knowledge the highest reported energies, up to 82 mJ for 500-ns pulses, 27 mJ for 50-ns pulses, and 2.4-MW peak power for 4-ns pulses at 1064 nm, using 200-µm-diameter and 0.062-N.A. core Yb-doped double-clad fiber amplifiers. The highly multimode nature of the fiber core was mitigated by use of a coiling-induced mode-filtering effect to yield a significant improvement in output-beam quality from M^2 = 25 from an uncoiled fiber to M^2 = 6.5 from a properly coiled fiber, with the corresponding reduction in number of propagating transverse modes from >or=200 to <or=20.

Last time we looked at franchises that would have helped the Vita, we touched upon a storied and beloved mascot: Donkey Kong. However, that property is always going to be on Camp Red’s systems. But today, based on a reader’s suggestion, we’re talking about a franchise that not only sells across all platforms, but one that graced the PSP multiple times: Grand Theft Auto.
While I always wished the series had a least a couple of games inspired by English cities (mostly so that I could see the Cherry Casino UK on there), there’s no denying that all three GTA entries on the PSP were fantastic: Vice City Stories and Liberty City Stories really did bring AAA experiences to Sony’s handheld, long before Playstation made those claims about the Vita. Even the top-down, more traditional Chinatown Wars was very successful, and has since accrued a bit of a cult status among fans (the DS version in particular is quite expensive to find CIB).
Fast forward a few years, however, and what do we have? Well, let me tell you what we don’t have: Grand Theft Auto on the Vita. And it would have made perfect sense, too: the Vita launched in 2014 in Western territories, and Grand Theft Auto V (which has sold over 100 million copies across its different platforms), was released in 2013. While a direct port might have been difficult, let’s talk about what a GTA game would have done for the Vita.
Liberty City Stories sold 11 million copies. Vice City Stories sold a more modest 6 million. Chinatown Wars numbers are harder to find, but we can gather that it sold at least a million. As we mentioned before, the best selling Vita game ever made, Uncharted: Golden Abyss, only sold 1.62 million copies. Obviously, the install base for Vita is much smaller, but we have to take into consideration that PSP was dealing with rampant piracy, so around 18 million copies of GTA games sold overall is not a bad number at all. Doing some quick calculations and taking into consideration 80 million PSPs were sold during the lifetime of the console, we can draw the conclusion that 0.225 GTA games were sold per PSP unit. That means that a safe projection (considering the Vita’s high attach rate) would put a GTA game at just over 4 million copies sold over the 18-or-so million Vita units sold worldwide. Again, that’s almost three times as much as the best selling Vita game. Even if you spread those sales over a potential trio of GTA games on Vita, that works out to 1.35 million copies of each installment. That’s nothing to sniff at!
Alas, it was not to be. Not only did we not get a Grand Theft Auto V port, we didn’t even get a proper Grand Theft Auto entry on the Vita at all. Sure, you can buy Liberty City Stories, Vice City Stories and Chinatown Wars as PSP titles, but the graphics don’t take full advantage of the far superior hardware in the Vita when compared to the PSP. Also, the scale of their respective worlds isn’t as great as their home console counterparts, and there are gameplay elements that haven’t aged all that well. Overall, I think the lack of a proper GTA title on the Vita is one of the reasons the system struggled to sell. If you told people you could play something even akin to GTA IV on the Vita, they’d have gone bananas. But it did not happen. And we’ll never really know what it would have meant for the Vita to have a bespoke GTA title in its roster. | [

Philae worked for more than 60 hours on the comet, which is more than 500m miles from Earth, before hibernating. Photograph: ESA/Rosetta/NavCam/PA. The Philae lander has found organic molecules – which are essential for life – on the surface of the comet where it touched down last week.
The spacecraft managed to beam back evidence of the carbon and hydrogen–containing chemicals shortly before it entered hibernation mode to conserve falling power supplies.
Although scientists are still to reveal what kind of molecules have been found on comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, the discovery could provide new clues about how the early chemical ingredients that led to life on Earth arrived on the planet.
Many scientists believe they may have been carried here on an asteroid or comet that collided with the Earth during its early history.
The DLR German Aerospace Centre, which built the Cosac instrument, confirmed it had found organic molecules.
It said in a statement: “Cosac was able to ‘sniff’ the atmosphere and detect the first organic molecules after landing. Analysis of the spectra and the identification of the molecules are continuing.”
The compounds were picked up by the instrument, which is designed to “sniff” the comet’s thin atmosphere, shortly before the lander was powered down.
It is believed that attempts to analyse soil drilled from the comet’s surface with Cosac were not successful.
Philae was able to work for more than 60 hours on the comet, which is more than 500m miles from Earth, before entering hibernation.
“We currently have no information on the quantity and weight of the soil sample,” said Fred Goesmann principal investigator on the Cosac instrument at the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research.
Professor John Zarnecki, a space scientist at the Open University who was the deputy principal investigator on another of Philae’s instruments, described the discovery as “fascinating”.
“There has long been indirect evidence of organic molecules on comets as carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms have been found in comet dust,” he said.
“It has not been possible to see if these are forming complex compounds before and if this is what has been found then it is a tremendous discovery.”
Organic molecules, which are chemical compounds that contain carbon and hydrogen, form the basic building blocks of all living organisms on Earth.
Philae landed on comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko after a 10-year journey through space aboard the Rosetta space probe. Philae’s initial attempt to touch down on the comet’s surface were unsuccessful when it failed to anchor itself properly, causing it to bounce back into space twice before finally coming to rest.
It meant the lander’s final resting place was about half a mile from the initial landing site and left Philae lying at an angle and its solar panels partially obscured.
In a desperate attempt to get as much science from the lander as possible before its meagre battery reserves ran out, scientists deployed a drill to bore down into the comet surface.
It is thought, however, that the drilling was unsuccessful and it failed to make contact with the comet.
But other findings from instruments on the lander, which were beamed back shortly before it powered down into a hibernation mode, suggest that the comet is largely composed of water ice that is covered in a thin layer of dust.
Preliminary results from the Mupus instrument, which deployed a hammer to the comet after Philae’s landing, suggest there is a layer of dust 10-20cm thick on the surface.
Beneath that is very hard water ice, which Mupus data suggests is possibly as hard as sandstone.
“It’s within a very broad spectrum of ice models. It was harder than expected at that location, but it’s still within bounds,” said Professor Mark McCaughrean, senior science adviser to Esa.
“You can’t rule out rock, but if you look at the global story, we know the overall density of the comet is 0.4g/cubic cm. There’s no way the thing’s made of rock.”
“If we compare the data with laboratory measurements, we think that the probe encountered a hard surface with strength comparable to that of solid ice,” said Tilman Spohn, principal investigator for Mupus. Scientists hope that as comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko moves closer to the sun in the next few months, some light will start to reach Philae’s solar panels again, giving it enough power to come out of hibernation.
This could allow further analysis to take place on the surface.
“Until then we are going to have to make do with the data we have got,” said Zarnecki. | [

'Only Jesus' captures the vitality moving live services at East Liberty's Mount Ararat Baptist Church with hymns and songs.
With a sense of soul music rocking everyone present, the beat can move your feet or sweet humility can take you by the hand in this assemblage of 15 tracks. Only Jesus captures the vitality moving live services at East Liberty’s Mount Ararat Baptist Church with hymns and songs arranged by the choir’s musical directors and performed by members of the congregation.
Musical director Jerome Kirkland gets sturdy performances from nine solo singers and from the choir, while, at the same time, coming up with out-of-the-ordinary keyboard embellishments. With him, too, are seven other musicians at keyboards, guitars and drums, able, at times, to even imply an orchestra.
The harmonies and the beat sometimes reach out to the edges of jazz, to the sound of urban contemporary pop, even to rap. You can find the CD online and more at mt-ararat.org.

Dahlias – not just for your granny!
Dahlias are back! They add magnificent splashes of colour to your balcony or garden and are also fabulous as cut flowers. So in the last few years they’ve revived as popular summer flowers instead of being thought of as old hat. They bloom from midsummer and can go on until the end of November. Tall and elegant, or small and a bit more retiring, they wow us with their vibrant colours. These range across reds, purples, pinks, yellows, orange, peach and cool white.
The dahlia is the national flower of Mexico. Mexicans (including the grannies) love a fiesta and the zingy, celebratory colours of these flowers are in synch with this.
Forget banana bread. While we’re stuck in Lockdown3 think ahead to summer sun with oodles of fresh air and creative exercise. Beat those lockdown blues by planning your summer garden display now.
Our top dahlia combos
Dahlia Collerette Red/White
Ornate and reminiscent of papel picado, the Mexican art of paper cutting. These flowers have an outer ring of flat petals surrounding a smaller inner ring often in contrasting colours. Their central stamens are a cheerful buttercup yellow and they’ll grow up to 1m tall.
Dahlia Cactus Orange/Yellow/White
Starburst dahlias with fat and tactile heads of fine petals. Each flower is a vibrant orange or yellow or a contrasting cool and calming white.
Dahlia Pompon Pink/Purple
These are large spherical flowerheads with a geometric texture and pattern. Their colours range from lively purple and magenta pink to pale rose.
Dahlia Combi Violet/White
These double flowers are reminiscent of sea anemones. A profusion of deep violet, white and striped and speckled burgundy.
How do I grow them?
Dahlias have tubers which look similar to bulbs and perform the same essential task of storing nutrients. They need an open sunny site with lots of water and a rich, free-draining growing medium. Plant them around April and May after the danger of frosts has passed.
- If you’re planting directly into the ground, you’ll need a hole about 30cm deep x 30cm square for each plant. Scatter about 15cm of compost into the bottom of the hole. On very heavy clay, add a sprinkling of grit too.
- Place the tuber in the hole and backfill with compost. Water in well. Plant your dahlias about 30cm apart.
- Tall varieties will be helped by a bamboo cane next to them to provide support
In pots, you’ll need a pot about 30cm in diameter for one plant.
5 tips for keeping them in prime condition
- These are hungry plants (all that celebrating!), so once a fortnight feed them with a liquid balanced feed
- They’re also thirsty. In very dry weather, it’s a good idea to water them well once a week.
- Tie them in to the stake every couple of weeks
- Pick flowers or deadhead from the bottom of the flowering stem to encourage new flowers
- Slugs and snails will be tempted to nibble so it’s as well to provide some protection
Glamorous and beautiful, dahlias are also tender and protest at frost. But with a bit of attention they’ll come through the winter and pop up again next spring.
Traditionally the tubers have been lifted from the ground and stored in a frost-free place over winter. But garden writer and broadcaster James Wong says those days are over – dahlias are tougher than we’ve been led to believe.
How do I coax them through?
Once frost has blackened the foliage, cut it back to leave about 10cm of stem. Cover them in at least 15cm of organic mulch, such as bark, straw, leaf mould or compost. This will insulate them from the cold. Mulching has the added benefit of discouraging weeds, helping to control moisture loss from the soil, and gradually breaking down to improve the structure of the soil and add essential nutrients.
If you do decide to uproot your dahlia tubers, cut the stems back as you would if leaving them in the ground. They need to be stored somewhere frost-free but cool, dark and dry like a shed. It’s important to keep them at a low temperature – you’re trying to mimic their natural dormancy cycle. Warmth may make them sprout and they’ll go into shock if it’s still a bit chilly when you plant them out again in spring.
Carefully dig or lift the tubers out of the soil and | [

Transportation of good between nations is done for several reasons. The development of e-commerce and businesses around the world has led to international couriers and parcelling. Here are some of the steps you should consider before sending your first shipment
There are several players involved in international shipping. If your shipping needs involve a cargo then you should find a suitable shipping container. However, if your cargo isn’t so urgent, then you can pay more for air freight. Shipping line is the company which will carry your cargo at sea. You never get in contact with them or see their documents. The shipper is the shipment party and the consignee is the receiver of the cargo. Freight forwarder is the logistic provider you are going to deal with.
Documentation steps involved in international shipping
When you ship to overseas via ship, there are some documents involved in the procedure. There are 5 physical steps and 2 document steps which need to take place. If you want to ignore all the cost surprises and undue delay you need to have a clear arrangement and agreement at all the stages.
The steps include: haulage, origin handling, custom clearance, freight calculation, import customs, destination handling as well as import haulage.
This is the first stage and the goods are moved from the shipper to the forwarder. The goods are majorly moved on road via a truck or rail or both. It is more or less arranged by a transportation company.
Export customs clearance
If your shipment is going international, then you have to fulfil the custom formalities too. Custom clearance requires certain documents which needs to be submitted to the authorities. The custom clearance procedure should be done before the cargo leaves the nation of origin.
It includes all the handling and inspection procedure of the cargo from receiving the at warehouse to loading it on the ship container. There are a few steps involved in origin handling. Every step is coordinated and performed. It is the freight forwarder who perform the ultimate origin handling.
The freight forwarder makes the decision on the shipping line to perform the ocean costs from the primary location to the destination it is going to meet the required timeline for the courier. The cost of the freight is marked on the shipper or the consignee. Ocean charges aren’t the complete shipment cost from the port to port, there are other costs involved like currency adjustment rate, bunker rate etc.
Apart from these the ship to overseas via ship, which is the term in Thai] also include import custom clearance which starts when the cargo reaches its destination nation, destination handling which is done before the cargo is released to the consignee.
It also includes import haulage when the actual delivery of the cargo is done to the consignee. It can be done by the freight forwarder or transportation company. Soon, the cargo reaches its destination is unfolded for further purpose. | [

West Ham are once again back at the London Stadium and they host Watford this weekend. The Hammers were flirting with the possibility of relegation in the first few weeks of the season but they have now jumped into the top half of the table following a sensational run. Watford remain in the top half but they have been barely able to hold on with the team unable to put together a consistent run. Follow all our predictions, free bets, football bets and betting tips below.
Betting Tips for the game
West Ham are up to 9th in the standings after managing a fourth consecutive win in the league. The 2-0 success over Fulham at Craven Cottage is also the first time West Ham have picked up back-to-back away wins in almost 2 years.
Watford picked up their first victory in seven matches after a 3-2 victory over Cardiff City at Vicarage Road, although the final score was not reflective of Watford’s domination in the match.
The recent game between these two clubs took place at the London Stadium with West Ham running out 2-0 winners. Our betting tips and predictions expect a victory for West Ham.
[bet_tip_now stars_1_2_3=”3″ block_title=”Prediction and betting tip:”]West Ham win at 2.37[/bet_tip_now]
Watford find themselves with just one victory in the last seven matches. They are up against a highflying West Ham team that are aiming for a fifth consecutive league victory for the first time in more than four years. The Hammers have not been able to put together this impressive form by being mediocre. They have been excellent on a number of aspects. The pace of players like Antonio and Felipe Anderson has helped make West Ham devastating when it comes to transitions. Our preview would go with a win for West Ham.
[bet_tip_now stars_1_2_3=”3″ block_title=”Match Prediction:”]West Ham win at 2.37[/bet_tip_now]
West Ham vs Watford draw odds: 3.50
Watford win odds: 3.10
Correct Score odds
The Hammers have been in some outstanding form going forward with 12 goals in the last six matches. Manchester City and Liverpool are the two teams to have scored more goals than West Ham in the last six matches and it says a lot about their form. Meanwhile, Watford have simply not been clinical and consistent enough to expect goals in great numbers. Our correct score prediction would go with a West Ham 2-1 win.
[bet_tip_now stars_1_2_3=”3″ block_title=”Correct Score Prediction:”]West Ham 2-1 win at 10.00[/bet_tip_now]
Over/Under 2.5 Goals odds
The goals scored by West Ham have been brilliant on a number of fronts. The Hammers have the potential to score from counter-attacks, free kicks, and set-piece situations – apart from open play. Watford may get one goal but not much can be expected out of the Hornets in an away match. Our total goals prediction would back over 2.5 goals.
[bet_tip_now stars_1_2_3=”3″ block_title=”Goals odds and prediction:”]Total goals over 2.5 at 1.72[/bet_tip_now]
First Goalscorer odds
Javier Hernandez failed to add to his goal tally in the match against Fulham, but the Mexican has been in decent form coming into this match. He has been able to score four goals in his last seven appearances – including an assist in the recent win over Fulham. Our first goalscorer prediction would back Javier Hernandez.
[bet_tip_now stars_1_2_3=”3″ block_title=”First goalscorer prediction:”]Javier Hernandez at 6.50[/bet_tip_now]

Submarines are constantly consulting with what’s below them and make decisions based on what the bottom of the ocean is telling them. Subs send sonar signals down to the depths of the sea and pick up the reflections, which helps create a picture of what’s down there.
Unlike the ‘Chinese whispers’ we hear throughout organisations, where either only the good news travels up or the truth becomes distorted by the time it hits the top, sonar signals don’t lie. They’re as accurate as the tip on Ronnie O’Sullivan’s snooker cue. If you know the truth about what’s happening underneath you, you’re privy to not only what’s really going wrong, but also the ideas and knowledge of those below.
Ships, on the other hand, haven’t got a clue what’s happening beneath them. They navigate in accordance with their external environment; lighthouses, buoys, charts, compasses, managers, CEOs, boards, competition, media and the like. Not only does the ship not know what’s happening below, the ship isn’t even interested. Ships go where the Captain says. If you don’t like it, don’t sail because it’s going whether you like it or not.
Ships hit ice bergs. Submarines don’t.
Submarines and ships are the tip of the ice berg

What is CBD?
Now, CBD supplements and CBD oils can be purchased online for everyday consumers. Pharmaceutical companies are introducing new CBD-based medicines to pharmacy shelves. CBD is even being added to skin creams and cosmetics.
But, what exactly is CBD and why is it so beneficial to the body? To paint a clearer picture of this miraculous molecule here is a complete guide to CBD.
There are close to 1250 unique chemical compounds identified in hemp plants. Hundreds of them are terpenoids. Terpenoids are the compounds that give fruits, flowers and herbs many of their desirable aromas, flavors and other special properties. Cannabinoids are a sub-class of terpenoids.
There are over 144 cannabinoids found in hemp and cannabis.
Cannabidiol (CBD) is the primary cannabinoid in industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) In recent years there is increasing interest in the therapeutic potential of CBD, which causes no psychotropic effects, is not psychoactive (cannot get you “high”) and even in high doses does not cause relevant side-effects. Its chemical formula is C21H30O2.
CBD hemp oil is extracted from the stalks and seeds of industrial hemp plants.
CBD oil is a cannabis oil that contains significant amounts of cannabidiol (CBD). The supercritical CO2 extraction process also preserves all other cannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids and nutrients, and contains only trace amounts of THC (below 0.1%).
CBD oil drops are legal and you do not require a permit or recommendation from your doctor to buy CBD products. It can be purchased online and shipped to your home, anywhere in the USA.
The Full Spectrum (Gold label CBD oil) and the Total Plant (Platinum label CBD oil) both contain a small amount of THC (less than 0.3%), this can build up in your body over time and cause you to fail a drug test! Don’t take these types of CBD oils if your job depends on passing a drug test! The Pure CBD ( white label with green cross CBD oil) has zero THC (verified by third party lab testing) and should not fail a drug test, but we always recommend seeing your doctor and get a written note stating that you are taking CBD for a medical reason.
THC is the cannabinoid that is targeted in drug tests. These tests look for the metabolic products of THC and begin with a simple urine test sample. The test uses antibodies to detect THC and the metabolite it produces, known by the rather complicated name of ‘11-nor-delta9-caboxy-THC (THC-COOH)’. If initial tests find that you have more than 50 Nanograms (ng) of these substances in your urine, a Gas Chromatography / Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS) test is carried out to confirm the result. This test targets the 11-nor-THCCOOH metabolite and is not sensitive to other cannabinoids including CBD.
The endocannabinoid system (ECS), named after the plant that led to its discovery, is a group of endogenous cannabinoid receptors located in the mammalian brain and throughout the central and peripheral nervous systems and organs. Consisting of neuromodulatory lipids and their receptors.In other words, it is a »command and control« set of biochemical communication regulatory mechanisms dealing with cannabinoid-like substances (endocannabinoids) produced naturally by the human body in general and the brain in particular, where receptors are concentrated in areas associated with thinking, memory, coordination, pleasure and time perception. The ECS is one of the more important biological control systems, which help regulate major bodily functions
CBD is non-psychoactive, meaning that you cannot get “high” or intoxicated by consuming CBD oil drops, as well as any other raw natural product from industrial hemp plants for that matter.
Our CBD products are all made from industrial hemp, which only contains trace amounts of THC (less than 0,3%), so there is no psychoactive effect from taking our products. The following products do not contain even trace amounts of THC in them, and are completely THC-free: CBD Aqua Drops, pure CBD, CBG crystals, CBD E-Liquids and Terpenes.

Latest clothes in the DEV category
Dev has partnered with false eyelash brand Faux on a pair of tough girl glam lashes with pyramid shaped studs along the lash line. Buy the FAUX+DEV lashes for $24.00.
Dev and The Cataracs did a photoshoot and interview for Ragged Mag, the zine for Macy’s American Rag juniors house brand. On the cover of this latest issue (PDF download), Dev wears the Short Sleeve Stripe Crochet Scoopneck Sweater ($59.00).
Dev’s leopard house coat is actually vintage piece, but UNIF makes a similar Leopard Maxi Dress which you can buy at Nasty Gal for $128.00. Dev named this as one of her “5 Things I Can’t Live Without” for AOL StyleList. She says: “My long vintage leopard chiffon. I can’t leave my house without this. I throw it over leggings, jeans, bathing suits; it makes everything feel pretty and feminine.”
DEV’s music video for her next single “Take Her From You” hasn’t been officially released yet, but I caught a glimpse of a leaked version before it was taken down and identified her jewelry. She wears the Evol Heist Bone Ring (£6.00), which is a more subtle version of their skeleton hand chain which she has previously worn. Not so subtle are her clunky 80′s inspired Coco Knocker Earrings from Cubannie Links ($40.00)
DEV toughens up her floral top with the Zip It Body Chain from Norwegian Wood, which had been sold at Nasty Gal but is now unavailble. You can get the look with the Spike Center Section Body Chain from Topshop for $30.00 or find a huge selection of body harnesses on Etsy.
In the “Like A G6″ music video, DEV wears a few pieces from American Apparel. Her pants are the Disco Pants ($82.00) which are a favorite of hers – she also wears them in her “In The Dark” video! Her lace top is the Stretch Floral Lace Bodysuit ($38.00) and she has the Cotton Spandex Ruched Front Tube Bra ($15.00) on underneath.
In this photoshoot, DEV has gone for a very glamorous look with a black and gold dress paired with The Hollywood Earring by Melody Ehsani ($42.00). The shapes on the earrings remind me of Hollywood Regency style decor.
DEV is wearing Fly Society’s LBC T-Shirt ($26.50 at PacSun). The phrase “So Much Drama in the LBC” is a line from the Snoop Dogg song “Gin and Juice.” Fly Society writes:
The famous rap promo tee. Way before downloading destroyed promo, record labels’ budget for rap albums always included promo tees with a hook or catchphrase in bold white letters from the album they were promoting. These things were rampant in the streets all the way up until recent times. They have now gone the way of the dinosaur kinda like Pen & Pixel album covers…
Take it back to ’94, and grab this t-shirt and more exclusively at PacSun.
In this photoshoot for Hot Topic’s new LOVEsick denim line, DEV wears LOVEsick’s Black Acid Wash Super Skinny Jeggings ($34.50) with a Hot Topic Black Lace Moto Jacket
($39.50) and Jeffrey Campbell “She-Man” Wedges ($144.95). Her style here is a bit more laid back than usual – she doesn’t typically wear jeans – but she’s still got that mix of girlie glam and toughness that I love about her style. If only I knew where that awesome jacket was from! | [

Hey guys. I need help! I have a 2003 s4 avant, piston went last year so i pulled the v8 and replaced it with a 2.7tt from a 2001 a6. Engine is in but i am stuck with the wiring. I have the diagrams for both cars and have 80-90%+ of the wiring done (all documented) but nothing when i turn the key.. Ecu isn't switching on (could be as simple as starter motor signal..) Due to a sudden family loss i just have not got it in me to complete this project myself any longer. Having got so far i cant just give up now. So i am asking if anybody has any contacts whether they are companies, qualified auto electricians or just enthusiasts like myself but have the neccesary skills i lack. I am in swindon, Wiltshire. Have tried local companies but nobody is willing to continue a project i started. I am happy to pay the going rate. It would of meant so much to my son if i could get my car running again, it means more to me now than ever. Just need help.. | [

1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to rechargeable batteries and, more particularly, to systems for charging of rechargeable batteries and preventing charging of non-rechargeable batteries.
2. Description of the Related Art
Most conventional battery-operated consumer products utilize non-rechargeable, or primary, batteries that are available in standard battery cell sizes. Primary batteries are batteries such as carbon-zinc or alkaline batteries that must be discarded when fully discharged. Rechargeable, or secondary, batteries are batteries such as nickel-cadmium batteries that can be repeatedly charged and discharged for a significant number of cycles before they must be discarded. Most primary batteries, if subjected to the charging current provided by a charging circuit, will become damaged and will possibly damage the product or device in which the battery is placed.
Traditionally, secondary batteries have been constructed with terminals and case configurations and sizes that are incompatible with the primary batteries that can be obtained by retail customers. More recently, secondary batteries have become available with terminals and in configurations and sizes identical to those of standard primary batteries. That is, primary and secondary batteries are no longer physically distinguishable and are now interchangeable. This interchangeability makes it easy for a consumer to inadvertently place a primary battery into either a product with a battery charging circuit or a dedicated battery charger device with a charging circuit and then inadvertently attempt to recharge the primary battery.
Efforts have been underway to prevent such inadvertent charging of primary batteries. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,577,144 to Hodgman et al., describes a battery charger that electrically determines if a battery cell being recharged is a primary battery or a secondary battery. Charging of a primary battery cell is inhibited and charging of a secondary battery cell is permitted.
Battery chargers that electrically discriminate between a primary battery cell and a secondary battery cell incorporate a desirable safeguard, but generally are configured for recharging only a single battery cell at a time. It would be advantageous if chargers that electrically discriminate between primary and secondary batteries could recharge more than one cell at a time. The ability to charge multiple battery cells simultaneously, however, introduces the possibility of installing a mixture of primary and secondary batteries into a charging circuit. If the user attempted to charge the mixture, damage to all of the batteries could occur. Present chargers are not configured electrically to detect a mixture of primary and secondary battery cells.
It also would be advantageous to electrically determine if a battery cell were installed in a charging circuit with the incorrect polarity. Incorrect polarity also can damage battery cells. The ability to charge multiple battery cells simultaneously also introduces the possibility of installing secondary batteries with mixed polarity. Thus, it would be advantageous to charge multiple battery cells simultaneously without risking damage to the batteries or the associated product or charger due to mixing types of batteries or installing with incorrect polarities.
From the description above, it should be apparent that there is a need to provide a battery charging system that recharges multiple secondary battery cells simultaneously and prevents charging primary battery cells mixed in with secondary battery cells and prevents charging battery cells installed with incorrect polarities. The present invention satisfies this need.
In accordance with the present invention, a battery charging system, adapted to receive one or more battery cells having first and second electrical contacts, includes a battery charging circuit having first and second terminals coupled to the contacts of the battery cell(s) and operating in a charging mode and a non-charging mode, a battery discriminating circuit that detects the voltage across the battery cell(s) during the charging mode to place the charging circuit in the non-charging mode if the detected voltage indicates a primary battery cell is present, and includes a battery polarity discriminating circuit, coupled to the charging circuit, that electrically detects when the first and second contacts of the battery cell(s) are connected with the incorrect polarity to the | [

What My Home Means To Me
When I think of home, I think of me calmly reading books.
When I think of home, I think of how safe and secure it looks.
I get to eat, sleep and lay in bed, and I let all my thoughts and worries drift out of my head.
When I think of home, I think of warmth and coziness.
When I think of home, I think of dinner and happiness
I like to think of bed, with dreams in my head. I like to think of my mom’s special garlic bread.
I think of poor people with no homes, that’s bad. I can’t imagine what they’re feeling, probably very very sad.
Home is where I can be me, a little girl who can be free.
Why be sad when I can be glad, why be angry when I can be hungry.
Home is where everything I need is at my fingertips, home is where fresh food and clean water can touch my lips.
Home is where everyone should be, not sitting down begging on the streets.
This is why I love my home, thank you for reading my poem. | [

Agriculture and Agri-Food, the Honourable Marie-Claude Bibeau, has launched consultations to solicit input and inform a National Agricultural Labour Strategy.
Canada's agriculture and agri-food sector is an important engine of economic growth that feeds millions of people in Canada and around the world. It is also part of the country's critical infrastructure, essential to the health and well-being of all Canadians, stated an Agriculture and Agri-Food media release.
In 2020, the country' whole agriculture and agri-food system employed 2.1 million people, provided 1 in 9 jobs in Canada in 2021, and generated $135 billion of Canada's gross domestic product (GDP).
"However, the sector expriences high job-vacancy rates. We desperately need workers - skilled and unskilled workers," said Minister Bibeau.
It is estimated that by 2029, the sector will have 123,000 more jobs than the domestic labour force can fill.
"These shortages will significanly impact the sector's potential limiting its economic growth, affecting rural vitality and diminishing our capacity to feed Canadians and the World," added the Minister. "Innovation in terms of technology, of course, and also management are critical to sustainable growth and our government wants to ease the business environment to help our farmers and entrepreneurs take on the challenge and thrive."
"Canada's agricultural sector feeds millions of people each year, and is a huge driver of our national economy. To ensure it can continue to grow and innovate, we're working with industry partners to build the strong, skilled workforce they need to thrive," added The Honourable Carla Qualtrough, Minister of Employment, Workforce Development and Disability Inclusion.
This consultation process will seek input on recommendations to address chronic workforce challenges to build short- and long-term solutions that enable the agriculture sector to attract a skilled workforce. Provinces and territories, as well as employers, unions, underrepresented groups, workers, and other key groups will be engaged to develop the strategy and ensure it reflects the unique needs of the sector.
A number of areas of focus have been identified, including the use of automation and technology, targeted skills development and training, employment incentives and best practices, improved working conditions and benefits; and programs to recruit and retain workers.
The Strategy will build on initiatives already in place such as the Canadian Agriculture Human Resource Council-led development of a National Workforce Strategic Plan for Agriculture and Food and Beverage Manufacturing. The Government of Canada's National Agricultural Labour Strategy is intended to complement these efforts and utilize input directly from industry to achieve solutions.
"We at CFA are excited for the launch of these consultations, as they will be coordinating closely with the CAHRC National Agriculture, Food and Beverage Manufacturing Workforce strategy co-chaired by CFA and Food and Beverage Canada. These consultations, along with the development of our Workforce Strategy will create pragmatic solutions for short and long-term labour issues in the food supply chain," said Mary Robinson, President of Canadian Federation of Agriculture.
"CAHRC is pleased for the launch of these timely consultations on a sector-specific Agricultural Labour Strategy. We look forward to working closely and collaboratively with AAFC and our partners CFA and Food and Beverage Canada on our complimentary initiatives that will go a long way towards finding long-term solutions for a robust, skilled workforce," added Paul Glenn, Chair, Canadian Agricultural Human Resource Council.
"Food and Beverage Canada welcomes the launch today of consultations to develop a sector-specific labour strategy to address labour shortages in food and beverage manufacturing, as well as in agricutlure. With our partners at CAHRC and CFA, we look forward to continuing our work on the National Workforce Strategic Plan for Agriculture and Food and Beverage Manufacturing, which will help to inform these important consultations as we seek to develop a roadmap to address persistent labour shortages in the agri-food sector," said Kathleen Sullivan, CEO, Food and Beverage Canada.
An online consultation opened on June 27, 2022 and will run until September 28, 2022. | [

Winnipeg will see relatively pleasant conditions through the rest of the work week, but the chance for rain will return for the weekend.
Winnipeg will see mainly sunny skies today with just a few afternoon clouds thanks to a ridge of high pressure in the area. The city will see a seasonably warm high near 26°C with light southeasterly winds in the afternoon. Skies will stay mainly clear tonight with temperatures dipping to a low near 12°C.
On Thursday, a weakening low pressure system will spread showers into southwestern Manitoba, but the system will fall apart before the rain is able to make it this far east. That said, the city will see increasing cloudiness in the afternoon as the remnants of this system move into the region. Temperatures will reach a high once again near 26°C with southeasterly winds near 20 km/h. Skies will stay mostly cloudy on Thursday night with just a slight chance of showers. The city will see a low near 14°C.
Mostly cloudy skies will continue over Winnipeg through Friday with a chance of showers or thunderstorms developing in the evening. The cloudy skies will keep things a bit cooler; the high temperature for the city looks to be around 21°C. Winds will be a bit more pronounced on Friday as they pick up out of the southeast at 20 to 30 km/h. There will be a continued chance of showers through Friday night as the temperature dips to a low near 15°C.
Long Range Outlook
For the weekend, conditions will turn unsettled as an upper low over Alberta and Saskatchewan starts digging southwards into the United States. As pushes southwards, the upper-level flow over southern Manitoba will strengthen out of the southwest and upper-level disturbances will begin moving through the region. This will result in unsettled conditions with showers and/or thunderstorms possible both Saturday and Sunday. It’s possible that rainfall could be heavy in some of these showers and some forecast models show the potential of 25 to 50 mm of rain through portions of the Red River Valley this weekend.
That said, it’s not going to rain right through the weekend; the showers will develop in waves as each upper-level disturbance moves through. Daytime highs should continue in the low 20s through the weekend.
Next week, skies look to clear out with seasonably warm temperatures right through the week.
Today’s seasonal daytime high in Winnipeg is 24°C while the seasonal overnight low is 12°C. | [

Permaculture is that art of the possible
Intelligent, Real Transformation: The 12 Permaculture Principles: Part 3 In the race to create a more sustainable world, we discover that it's the little things that add up to meaningful transformation. The last four principles concern a sustainable, whole-systems approach to true transformation, rooted in slowness, diversity, and creativity. Use small and...
Permaculture, Poop and Farts Permaculture allows nature to do its thing. The gardens are lush and beautiful. While the birds chirp high in the trees, soft aromas mix in the air as a butterflies pollinate the flowers. Animals and plants coexist in natural harmony while humans organize and revel in their creation. It is a...
6 Problems with Monoculture Farming Permaculture gardening promotes biodiversity. It seeks to maximize the number of productive species of plant within a plot, not only to offer the gardener a diverse and vibrant number of crops to harvest for the kitchen, but also so that the ecosystem is itself is strong, with different plants...
With the understanding of permaculture principles and the way nature works, we can now safely say what can we expect from a healthy permaculture process. It is more than clear to you that permaculture can make us resilient and it can help our community. One of the most common permaculture basics is the very beneficial and mutual interaction between us, plants, animals, and insects. When a scenario is set, we just need to let nature do its thing. There is an old saying that nature does everything by itself and that is completely true. By practicing the principles of permaculture, you will learn that you can completely rely on natural processes, once you set a self maintaining permacultural system. These systems have only one goal, to create a self sustaining and abundant natural habitat that is right next to a healthy and natural ecosystem.
Expect the following benefits from a healthy permacultural system:
Pest Balance – You will be able to control everything that is going on in a maintained environment
Soil Fertility Improvement – Without using the harmful chemicals, the soil will restore its natural fertility which will result in richer yields
Weeds Cotrol – Carefully designed plant groupings will not allow any weeds to grow
Beneficial Insects – Insects are very important to the overall health of one polyculture and they are mostly known for their pollination abilities
Moisture Retainment – When plants are dispersed in a guild formation, they will retain moisture and share the fluids on natural basis
Ecosystem health improvement – When everything that you grow is living in a natural equilibrium with its natural habitat and there are no external constraints, the overall health of an entire ecosystem will improve
All of these are the benefits of a healthy and thriving self maintaining permacultural ecosystem. When the scenario is set like this, you can only expect the best results and, since the sustainability is one of the main principles of permaculture, you can safely rest assured that the process will repeat itself. This is what permaculture is based upon. The human factor should only be allowed to gain control over the environment and protect it against the natural disasters if it is possible but, everything else is just the way nature works. It is quite possible to develop polycultures as well. Polycultures are self organizing and dynamic communities of plants that are composed of mixed plant species in order to better each other. These enhanced plants are bearing more yields that on a single basis thus the crops grow larger.
There is no easy answer to this question. Permaculture can not be the ultimate solution to our polluted rivers, seas, oceans, lakes, soil and air but, it can raise awareness while it is still not too late. If we start taking care of our future now, a better tomorrow will be knocking on our door. Permaculture may not be a solution but, it is a step closer to finding it. | [

Burns, Loree Griffin The Hive Detectives: Chronicle of a Honey Bee Catastrophe
Houghton Mifflin/Clarion/Graphia/Kingfisher 2010 66 18.00
978-0-547-15231-8 elm/ms E-BNS
Scientists In the Field (HM)#8
Scientists across the globe are scrambling to solve a mystery that may compromise the world food supply -- why are honey bee colonies vanishing and dying?
What would a world without honey bees be like?
This is a valid – and disturbing -- question in view of the millions of bees that have died or vanished since colony collapse disorder (CCD) was first identified in 2006. CCD is a mystery that has scientists scrambling to find the cause – and a solution -- before the world’s food supply is irreparably compromised.
The author, a beekeeper herself, takes readers inside a beehive, while telling a compelling story of the decimation of pollinating insects world-wide – and the collaboration of scientists and beekeepers in researching the alarming drop in honey bee populations. The stunning, high-quality photographs (by Ellen Harasimowicz) draw the readers into a clear, succinct text that investigates the race to solve a real-life disaster-in-progress.
Information is presented in an accessible and appealing manner, from the book’s scrapbook-style layout and clear, concise glossary, through the descriptions of bee keeping, hives, bee anatomy, and bee society
This book is relevant, exciting -- in short, superlative -- and should be considered for the ALSC Robert F. Sibert Informational Book Medal.
This is a superlative, informative volume on bees, bee-keeping, and colony collapse disorder. Welliver, Hilary

Now What Napkins sells 100% cotton tie dye napkins, tea towels and foodie based products. Made from my flat in Battersea, each item is dyed by hand and unique. A lovely way of bringing a little, or a lot, of colour into people’s kitchens and onto their tables. In rainbow, single and unique colour combinations the range includes both traditional tie dye styles as well as others which are my own personal take on tie dye… nothing like the activity so many of us grew up with, the end results are grown up yet playful items which are designed to put a smile on your face and start a conversation. Set up during the COVID pandemic - like many I was looking for a distraction from the reality of a difficult situation as I shielded, due to a double lung transplant in 2017. Now What Napkins provided an escape and has, thankfully, grown since then. | [

Final Project: Enhanced Augmented Reality
For this project, students were required to create a simple markerless augmented reality system, similar to the assignment below, but without the corner markers and produce a white paper detailing our experiences with the technique.
To accomplish this task, I used an image tracker system which uses a combination of image recognition to identify a target and then search through input frames for positive identification.
Each frame, a number of steps are completed including feature extraction and matching, homography estimation and refinement, and pose estimation based on a known camera calibration.
A few of the computer vision methods used in the project are ORB feature detection, KNN feature matching using a brute force matcher with cross correlation, homography estimation using RANSAC, SolvePNP() with Levenberg-Marquardt optimization, and conversion of the rotation matrix to a vector using Rodrigues.
In this project, students were required to build a basic augmented reality system using corner markers and handle some real life cases such as camera rotation/skew as well as video artifacts and noise.
To start, we injected basic still frames into the video with a calculated homography to ensure the process worked correctly but the extra credit version extended this technique by interleaving frames from a video into the marker locations.
To achieve this, I used non-local means denoising to remove any static noise and then Gaussian blurred the result to remove circle artifacts.
Harris corners were used to estimate marker locations and those results were fed into KMeans with a K = 4 to identify the corners.
These four points were then used to compute a homography matrix using least squares and the injected image was then inverse warped into the final frame to avoid holes or strange artifacts in the output.
Motion Detection and Optical Flow
In this assignment we implemented standard and hierarchical versions of optical flow using image pyramids, based on the Lucas Kanade algorithm and papers.
For extra credit, we visualized the algorithm results with quiver plots overlayed on video frames.
Traffic Lights and Signs
For the traffic light project, students were tasked with detecting traffic lights and signs in simulated images. Later, these detectors were used with real images to evaulate their efficacy in real world scenarios.
Object Tracking and Pedestrian Detection
In this project, a variety of scenarios were presented for students to track pedestrians on the street and detect patches in presidential debates captured from TV.
This final project implemented used a variety of techniques to detect faces in common datasets such as Yalefaces and Faces94. | [

Optics and Lasers in Medicine
There are some surgical operations that are perplexing to perform with the conventional scalpel. Initial trials with laser beam showed that a finely focused beam from a carbon dioxide gas laser could cut through human tissue effortlessly and neatly. The surgeon could direct the beam from any angle by using a mirror attached on a movable metal arm. Therefore, now a day’s laser beam is the most desirable tool which is used as a standby for the conventional blade to perform difficult surgeries. Lasers were considered as most effective in operating on parts that are easy to reach-areas on the body's exterior, including the ears, skin, mouth, eyes and nose. But in recent years doctors have established the remarkable progress in emerging laser techniques for use in internal exploration and surgery. For illustration lasers are gradually used to clean plaque from people's arteries.

Galveston, Texas was hit hard by Hurricane Ike last fall and the scars can still be seen from the debris on the beach to the dilapidated buildings dotting the coast. Despite the hardships Ike caused, the city is slowly recovering and there is still a lot to see and do on this unique island. It's also fairly accessible, just a short drive (about 60 miles) south of Bush Intercontinental Airport. Here’s a look at the best Galveston has to offer.
Where to Stay:
At the Holiday Inn Sun Spree Resort on Galveston’s main drag, Seawall Blvd, every room has a balcony with an ocean view. The resort gets rave reviews for its service on TripAdvisor and we found out first hand that if you call the hotel directly to make a reservation they'll throw in a free breakfast. Rates start at $170. | [

Temps vary; developing storm system across the Heartland
Across the Corn Belt, preparations for an impending winter storm are underway. For Wednesday, benign conditions are in place, although chilly conditions across the upper Midwest contrast with unusual warmth in the southern and eastern Corn Belt. Wednesday’s high temperatures could reach 65°F or higher in the lower Ohio Valley.
On the Plains, snow is spreading across parts of Montana. Meanwhile, a cold front separates cool air across the northwestern half of the region from lingering warmth on the southern Plains. Wednesday’s high temperatures will reach 70°F or higher across much of Oklahoma and Texas. On the southern High Plains, warm, dry, windy weather; ample cured fuels; and low humidity levels are contributing to a significantly elevated threat of grassfires.
In the South, warm, dry weather favors early-season fieldwork and other outdoor activities, including farm maintenance. Rangeland and pastures in the Deep South have begun to recover from recent freezes, although more than two-thirds (68%) of Florida’s pastures were rated in very poor to poor condition on February 13.
In the West, a storm system crossing the Desert Southwest has begun to turn eastward. At this point in its development, the storm is dynamic but starved for moisture, leading to breezy, cooler weather but little precipitation. Farther north, a separate disturbance is producing snow showers, mainly in the northern Rockies. | [

Education as a dying and outdated system – M. Pireddu Pireddu’s discussion about education is a timely and relevant critique. Computers have chanced the social landscape and the world in which students are immersed.
Pireddu talks about the death of education in terms of the rise of technology. From the perspective of constantly evolving technology, Pireddu discusses areas such as social learning and participatory learning. The paper also talks about the battle between technology as a tool and technology as an environment. Finally Pireddu gives a definition and overview of what he calls ‘convergence culture’ and how youth culture has positioned itself as an early adopter of technology.
Education and new media – New technologies have always been used to enrich education. Starting with the literacy, the printing press, television and now computers, technology has had a central position in education. However with the emergence of the internet, technology is able to transform education by no longer being a part of the educational environment. Traditionally technology has always been the tool of education and now it has the ability to become the environment of learning – particularly online learning and virtual learning. These kinds of areas have validity when considering the potential for experiential learning. This change echoes the shift in technology’s position in people’s personal lives. There’s now a dichotomy between the technology in the classroom and personal technology. Technology at school is still entrenched within centuries old Taylorism models of “one size fits all” learning. While at home, people interact with technology in a way which is less structured and more fluid.
Such a move towards a more technology and communication driven environment changes the way in which we acquire knowledge. Instead of needing to memorise, learners can focus on researching and skills such as analysis, critical thinking and creation of original content. A shift in paradigm from knowledgable to knowledge-abled.
Media literacies – Pireddu introduces the idea of convergence culture – how the internet has converged all forms of media and a flow of media across different platforms. Society, culture and technology are all connected by convergence, greatly reducing the cost of creating and sharing digital content. Evidence cited by Pireddu suggests strongly that younger generations are enormously engrossed in convergence culture, producing vast amounts of original content, as well as participating, sharing and discussing content online. Through social networks, information is now consumed and shared, mashed-up and remixed. Websites, social networks, gaming and mobile media technologies have become fixtures of youth culture. Young people are embracing the internet and making it their own.
This has lead to the development of a more participatory culture. Through creation and expression, people feel important and connect to others through common interests. The focus has shifted from knowledge acquisition to participation in collaborative problem solving, distributing knowledge, sharing and discussing. The knowledge itself is no longer the focus, but how that knowledge is used, shared, mixed and mashed and then redistributed.
Teachers might argue that such technologies are disruptive, when students are tweeting or updating their status on Facebook. Yet, students are more likely to be interacting with knowledge in new and innovative ways. If the education system cannot adapt to students’ needs, in terms of their preferred methods of using technology and consuming information, then education will continue to be chaotic and antiquated.
Toward a new learning potential – The role of education is to prepare students for society. Yet how can education be successful when the system itself is not up-to-date with the changing world. This begs to ask whether schools are still relevant. Technology has reached a stage where it can increase and evolve at an exponential rate. Yet education systems, bogged down by bureaucracy, languish and are reactionary in terms of technology. Students are already redefining their own learning and new learning methods are emerging daily. Learners are moving toward less rigid and organic learning styles that are at odds with the Taylorism model. Through social networking, students prefer to cooperate and participate in information sharing. As technology obstacles are removed, it becomes easier and easier for students to network on a global scale, working as a collective to build knowledge. The shift is away from formal learning and towards a amateursed process of collaboration.
Learning is no longer about teachers disseminating information to students. Learning is about communities. New medias and technology will create even more learning communities in what has been described as anti-teaching – creating of learning environments where students are empowered to ask the questions and find the answers themselves. | [

ISLAMABAD: Spokesperson of Ministry of Finance Muzzammil Aslam on Saturday said that the government was getting zero percent sales tax on petroleum products.
Talking to a private news channel, he said that the increase of levy does not mean to increase the price of petroleum.
The charges of Islamabad to Lahore Motorways have increased due to the agreement of previous regime but it was not informed to the masses at that time about the agreement.
After the 45 days the dialogue between the government and International Monetary Fund (IMF) have been concluded successfully.
The government has increase the taxes on luxury goods not on the daily use item of general public.
IMF also asked the government to submit the audit report of Coronovirus funds, he said.
He also appreciated the role of media for informing the people about the truth.
He said the decreasing prices of petroleum products’ impact at international market would be fruitful for the government. | [

Learning from visual data opens the potential to accrue a large range of manipulation behaviors by leveraging human demonstrations without specifying each of them mathematically, but rather through natural task specification. In this paper, we present Learning by Watching (LbW), an algorithmic framework for policy learning through imitation from a single video specifying the task. The key insights of our method are two-fold.First, since the human arms may not have the same morphology as robot arms, our framework learns unsupervised human to robot translation to overcome the morphology mismatch issue. Second, to capture the details in salient regions that are crucial for learning state representations, our model performs unsupervised keypoint detection on the translated robot videos. The detected keypoints form a structured representation that contains semantically meaningful information and can be used directly for computing reward and policy learning. We evaluate the effectiveness of our LbW framework on five robot manipulation tasks, including reaching, pushing, sliding, coffee making, and drawer closing. Extensive experimental evaluations demonstrate that our method performs favorably against the state-of-the-art approaches.
The resulting keypoint-based representations provide semantically meaningful information that can be directly used for reward computing and policy learning. We evaluate the effectiveness of our approach on five robot manipulation tasks, including reaching, pushing, sliding, coffee making, and drawer closing. Detailed experimental evalu- ations demonstrate that our method performs favorably against previous approaches.
In robotic imitation learning, collecting expert demonstrations remains expensive and challenging as it assumes access to both observations and actions. We aim to relax this expert supervision to human videos alone.
To bridge the human-robot domain gap, one way is to translate the human videos to the robot domain using a generative modeling approach. However, translation is generally imperfect.
Our key insight: explicitly exploiting the kinematics and motion information embedded in the video to learn structured representations via translation and unsupervised keypoint detection.
1) We propose a perception module for physical imitation from human videos using human to robot translation and unsupervised keypoint detection.
2) The resulting keypoint-based representations can be used to compute the task reward with a simple distance metric.
3) Experimental results on five robot manipulation tasks show that our method greatly outperforms previous works
Our LbW model is composed of three main components: an image-to-image translation network T, a keypoint detector Ψ, and a policy network π. The image-to-image translation network translates the input human demonstration video frame by frame to generate a robot demonstration video. Next, the keypoint detector takes the generated robot demonstration video as input and extracts the keypoint-based representation for each frame to form a keypoints trajectory. At each time step, the keypoint detector also extracts the keypoint-based representation for the current observation. The reward for physical imitation is defined by a distance metric d that measures the distance between the keypoint-based representation of the current observation and those in the keypoints trajectory. Finally, the keypoint-based representation of the current observation are passed to the policy network to predict an action that is used to interact with the environment.
To evaluate the effectiveness of our perception module, we implement two baseline methods using the same control model as LbW, which is adopted from SAC+AE, but with different reward learning methods. For the implementation of the perception module of LbW, MUNIT is adopted from Pytorch-GAN, transporter is adopted from Duane’s codebase.
To verify the effectiveness of our perception module fairly, we implement two baselines using the same control model as LbW, but different reward learning methods. we use success rate as the metric to compare our method with the baselines. At test time, the task is considered to be a success if the robot is able to complete the task within a specified number of time steps. The results are evaluated by 10 test episodes for each task.
Given a human video as input in the first row, we present the translated images of CycleGAN in the second row. In the third row, we visualize our translated images and the detected keypoints produced by the perception module. Our perception module accurately detects the robot arm pose and the location of the interacting object.
We finally show the performance videos of LbW. | [

The ISIS might not have a direct presence in India but intelligence agencies fear that terror groups operating in the country can be used by Daesh for carrying out strikes in India similar to the Paris massacre.
Following the savage attack in Paris in which at least 129 people were killed, the Union home ministry alerted state governments on ISIS backed terrorist strikes on Indian soil.
"The possibility of piggybacking on terrorist groups operating in India has opened up the possibility of ISIS-sponsored terrorist action on Indian territory," says the alert sent to police chiefs of all states on November 16.
Mail Today was first to report that former Indian Mujahideen members who fled India and are now based in the Af-Pak region have been identified as some of the handlers of Indian ISIS aspirants.
In wake of the threat after the Paris attack, the security of foreign missions and diplomatic interests of UK, France, Germany, Australia, Russia, USA, Turkey and Israel will be enhanced.
The advisory sent to all states says though ISIS has not been able to establish any significant presence in India, its success in radicalising some youth, attracting certain sections of local population and Indian diaspora to physically participate in its activities poses a threat to India. "Available intelligence about ISIS activities should be immediately reviewed to identify plans, targets, and areas vulnerable to attack by ISIS and appropriate action taken to neutralize potential threat," the note says.
While the ISIS has not set up base in India its ideology of setting up a Caliphate has lured several Indians. Over 20 Indians, many of those living abroad joined the terror group and several others who attracted and radicalised on social media wanted to join the Islamic State but were intercepted by Indian intelligence agencies before they could leave the country.
India is focusing on the strategy of counter radicalisaiton to combat the threat and many of those who were intercepted from travelling to Iraq and Syria were not arrested, instead they were made to go through counselling sessions.
Fearing an attack by the Islamic State in the national Capital, Delhi Police registered a case to probe the conspiracy. A First Information Report (FIR) was registered by the Special Cell of Delhi Police- its anti-terror unit a month back in June but there has been no action on it.
ISIS, responsible for the massacre of thousands and has been successful in drawing Muslims from across the globe also has head-hunters within India and among Indians living abroad to recruit youth attracted to the idea of establishing a Caliphate. Many of these recruiters are under surveillance of intelligence agencies.
Fearing increased activity and support for ISIS within India, the Centre had banned the jihadi group in February this year under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act after intelligence agencies tipped off the home ministry about ISIS sympathisers looking for potential recruits.
India has had its tryst with ISIS. First, four youth from Mumbai had fled to Syria to join the terror organisation. Two of them have believed to be killed while one of them returned to India. | [

Escaping The Nutshell

We parked near the junction of Hessie and 4th of July Road at about 7:30. In about a mile, we reached the junction of the King Lake and Devils Thumb Bypass Trail at 8:01. Taking the King Lake Trail, it was 5 miles to the lake. Continuing past the lake on the King Lake Trail, we reached the Continental Divide at 10:04.
From the Divide, we made nearly a beeline to Mt Epworth which could be seen to the southwest. Reaching the north shore of Pumphouse Lake, we crossed over its outlet and climbed the steep alpine rocky meadow to the Epworth summit, reaching it at 10:53. It was about 1.5 miles from King Lake to the Epworth summit.
The summit of Mt Epworth has fantastic views including Winter Park and the Fraser Valley, Corona Lake, and Rollins Pass Road. We met a couple on the summit who had made the short hike from their car on the nearest point to Rollins Pass Road to the summit. They said it took them 1 hour to drive up the rough Rollins Pass Road to where they parked.
On the return, we headed down to the south side of Pumphouse Lake, then up the steep slope to Rollins Pass Road, and finally headed north on the road to Rollins Pass. In descending from the Epworth summit, one must be careful not do descend toward Deadman Lake because there are cliffs above it, which suggests how the lake got its name. From Rollins Pass, we took the Divide Trail to its intersection with the King Lake Trail, then returned the way we came. It was about 1.9 miles from the Epworth summit to King Lake.
The total round trip distance of this hike was about 15.4 miles, with an elevation gain of about 3,500 feet.
|Place Name||Elev [ft]|
|Parking at Hessie||9000|
Total elevation gain = (+ (- 11671 9000) (- 11843 11334) (- 11671 11334)) = 3,517 ft

Alongside the Wooden Boat Festival runs the Hobart Regatta, culminating in a fireworks display on the waterfront on Monday night. We hadn’t competed in any sailing events for the regatta, but this was a different way we could participate, taking along a boat-load of family and friends. So we rallied the troops at the boat well before sunset and set off across the river for the Regatta foreshore. The weather all day had been horrid – squally rain and cold (whilst the rest of the country suffered intense heat and bushfires!) – so we all rugged up.
We anchored a little way off the jetty where people in high-vis vests were preparing the fireworks display. We judged our distance perfectly, as any boats between us and the jetty were moved on by the Water Police in their patrol vessel, Dauntless. At anchor we brought out the wine and cheese (and beer and chips) and watched the water settle to a mirror as the sun began to set. Quite a number of boats had gathered for the fun, including the Navy flag-ship, some of the sail training vessels and a number of wooden boats, as well as launches and a fleet of jet-skis. It was just after dark when Willem (who had been waiting for Tim – his frisbee training went late!) motored along and rafted up beside us in his beautiful wooden sailboat. His first time doing a rafting-up manoeuvre and he looked like a pro!
Then the fireworks began, and we discovered the reason for keeping us back – many of the first set went off right in the water in front of us! Soon they were popping and banging overhead in myriad patterns and colours.
In celebration of Tim’s birthday the previous day, we broke out the ginger cake, singing him a Happy Birthday.
We motored back into the marina in the dark. A great night out for all. | [

Comparing Graphene and Carbon Nanotubes as Nanoscale Current Collectors in MnO2-Based Supercapacitors

Recently, both graphene and carbon nanotubes were shown to improve the overall performance of supercapacitors by acting as nanoscale current collector. Even though both of them are made from pure carbon, their structures are very different. How would the differences in their structures affect their roles in a supercapacitor system is a very interesting question. Here, we evaluated both materials in MnO2 based supercapacitor systems in order to answer this question. The composites of RGO/MnO2 were synthesized through a simple but effective chemical co-precipitation method and have specific surface area ∼220 m2/g. Electrochemical measurements show that the efficiency of MnO2 was greatly improved, with the specific capacitance generally higher than 300 F/g (at 10 mV/s) and 55%∼65% of the high Csp retained at 500 mV/s across a range of material ratios and mass loading densities. Compared with RGO, FWNTs was able to provide MnO2 better performance as ultra-thin film due to its higher conductivity. However, as the film goes thicker, the electrolyte ion diffusion resistivity across the composite film seems to become the major limitation and these two composites behave very similarly.

Everything You Need To Know About Adam Driver's New Movie 'Ferrari'!
Coming off of its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival, sports thriller flick Ferrari is receiving buzz by car enthusiasts and film fans alike! Here’s what we know about the Michael Mann-directed biopic so far!
Ferrari is a biographical picture based on the life of Enzo Ferrari, the Italian founder of the iconic car manufacturer that bears his last name. Enzo first found a passion for cars in the racing scene, competing as a race car driver and winning 11 Grand Prixs before retiring when his son was born. His self-titled car company was founded in 1947, after he previously founded a different company functioning as a parts supplier to various car racing teams. The brand quickly gained a reputation in the motorsport industry, though Enzo Ferrari himself lived a largely private life, which the upcoming biopic will offer viewers a rare look into.
The movie was filmed last fall in Italy, a long-awaited moment over 20 years after director Michael Mann began developing the film in 2000.Ferrari is Mann’s first film since his action thriller Blackhat starring Chirs Hemsworth released back in 2015, though he recently directed an episode of crime drama series "Tokyo Vice".
The film's cast is headed by Adam Driver in the role of Enzo, the role previously having belonged to Christain Bale and Hugh Jackman while the film faced numerous production delays. Spanish actress Penelope Cruz will star opposite Adam as Enzo’s wife, Lauren, whileShailene Woodley and Patrick Dempsey among the other familiar faces will been seen on the big screen. This isn't the first time Driver has played a real-life Italian with a historic last name -- he also did so back in 2021 when he co-starred with Lady Gaga inHouse of Gucci as Maurizio Gucci.
The film was produced by NEON, who signed an interim agreement with SAG-AFTRA, which allows the actors from the film to promote it. Yay NEON!
Where To See It
WhileFerrari just had a successful world premiere at the prestigious Venice Film Festival, movie-goers will have to wait until December 25th to see the film in theaters in the States! | [

What is Hydraulic Braking System?
A hydraulic braking system in automobiles is a brake operating system that uses hydraulic fluid for its operation. Using this system, the driver can generate great braking force by applying less effort on the brake pedal.
This system is more efficient than the mechanical braking system.
It is a self-lubrication system hence no external lubrication is required. In this system, With less effort, we can achieve high braking force to stop the vehicle.
Continue reading to know more about its working principle, construction, working, advantages, applications, etc.
Hydraulic Braking system working principle:
The hydraulic braking system works on the principle of Pascal’s Law.
PASCAL’S LAW:- The Pascal law states that “Pressure at any point in a static fluid is equal in all directions”.
Hence such pascal’s law is used in the hydraulic braking system to apply the brake.
Hydraulic Braking system construction:
The below figure indicates, the structure of the hydraulic braking system:
A hydraulic braking system in Automobile consists of the following components:-
1) PEDAL: The brake pedal is pivoted and connected from the middle to the piston rod. When the brake pedal is pressed, the piston pushes the hydraulic oil inside the master cylinder.
2) MASTER CYLINDER:- It consists of piston, oil & return spring.
Return spring is used to maintain pressure on the piston therefore when the driver releases the brake pedal, the piston comes to its original position.
3) OIL RESERVOIR:- The oil reservoir is connected to the master cylinder which maintains the oil quantity inside the system.
4) CYLINDER 2:- It is located inside the wheel drum. It consists of two two-piston and the piston rods are connected to the shoes. When oil comes from the master cylinder, oil enters cylinder 2 and both pistons move out.
5) BRAKE SHOES:- There are 2 brake shoes used in the brake drum. Both piston rods are connected to one end of the shoes. Other ends of the shoes are hinged Brake shoes have friction lining on the outer surface.
Hence when the driver presses the pedal, the piston rods of cylinder 2 expand resulting in brake shoe expansion. Therefore due to friction between the shoes & brake drum, the wheel stops.
The shoes are connected with the return spring. Therefore When the driver releases the clutch pedal, pressure on the oil releases. Hence shoes come to their original position due to spring force.
6) PIPELINE:- It is used to flow oil from master cylinder to cylinder 2.
- Read here: How automobile engine consists and works
Hydraulic Braking system working:
Let’s see how the Hydraulic Braking system works to stop the wheel:-
When the driver presses the brake pedal, the piston pushes the oil inside the master cylinder.
Oil from the master cylinder moves to cylinder 2 through a pipeline/hose. As oil enters inside cylinder 2, both piston expands due to oil pressure.
Due to piston movement, brake shoes expand inside the brake drum. Therefore due to friction between shoes & brake drum, the wheel stops.
The cylinder bore of the master cylinder is smaller, thus the driver has to put less force over the pedal to build pressure on the oil.
While the bore of cylinder 2 is larger in comparison with the master cylinder. Therefore the brake force generated at cylinder 2 is higher.
Hydraulic Braking system advantages:
Hydraulic Braking System has the following advantages:-
- Fewer efforts are required to press the brake pedal
- It is a self-lubrication system hence no external lubrication is required.
- Simple Construction
- Smooth Operation
- Losses due to friction are much less.
The hydraulic braking system is very popular in different applications like:-
Difference between hydraulic and mechanical brakes:
|Sr. No.||MECHANICAL BRAKES||HYDRAULIC BRAKES|
|1||Brakes are Less Powerful.||Brakes are more Powerful.|
|2||External Lubrication Required||No External Lubrication is required as it is a self-lubrication system.|
|3||Less effort is required for an operator to apply a Brake.||Less effort is required for an operator to apply Brake.|
|4||Less costly||It is costlier.|
|5||Friction Losses are more.||More efforts are required for an operator to apply Brake|

A seven-and-a-half foot tall bronze statue of Wonder Woman was unveiled today outside the entrance of the Warner Bros Studio Tour. A collaboration between the hospitality association Visit Burbank, DC, and Warner Bros, the statue,consisting of around 600 pounds of bronze, was based on a design by artist Jenny Frison and created by Burbank’s American Fine Arts Foundry and Fabrication. American Fine Arts Foundry and Fabrication was represented at the event by chief collaborator Brett Barney and production manager Angel Meza. According to Barney, the statue took over a year to create, from model to final production.
The statue unveiling kicked off with an introduction from director of the Warner Bros Studio Tour Department, Danny Kahn. Kahn was followed by Burbank mayor Konstantine Anthony, who spoke about the relationship between Warner Bros and the city.
Next to speak was Warner Bros. president of global brands, franchises and experiences Pamela Lifford who spoke about the enduring legacy of Wonder Woman and her role in the company's history, saying "As we kick off the Warner Bros. 100th Anniversary - Sharing Every Story, Wonder Woman is part of this company’s story and legacy. Not only is she a prominent fixture of the Studio Tour, she will now be a permanent fixture as our story continues for the next 100 years."
Lifford was followed by DC Comics chief creative officer and publisher Jim Lee, who spoke about the how Wonder Woman continues to bring fans together, saying "Since she made her debut in the pages of All-Star Comics #8, Wonder Woman has been published all over the world and has inspired millions of fans around the world who saw themselves in the action-packed pages of the comic books, as Lynda Carter in the TV show or Gal Gadot in the movies... Her real, secret super power is that she continues to bring fans together around something they love.”
The statue was then unveiled by Lifford, Lee, and Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins.
About Burbank's newest bronze resident, mayor Konstantine Anthony told Popverse that he was “so proud to have this historic icon representing Burbank’s partnership with Warner Bros. Wonder Woman represents strength and leadership, and it’s such a powerful reminder of what can be accomplished, especially in these uncertain times.”
To coincide with the statue unveiling, Visit Burbank has released for the first time in print, Wonder Woman: Agent of Peace, a comic written by Amanda Diebert with art from Aaron Lopresti.
The new Wonder Woman statue is located directly outside the entrance to the Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood at 3400 Warner Blvd. Burbank, CA and is now available for viewing 24 hours a day. | [

SciFi Innovations Develops Technology that Joins Polymers to Metals for Aerospace Industry
Machines that fly, from rocket ships to commercial jets to delivery drones, are made of different types of materials—aluminum, titanium, carbon fiber composites, and more.
Imagine the challenge of fabricating those disparate materials into aerospace subsystems that achieve the highest levels of safety and the demanding specifications of strength and weight for modern air vehicle applications.
That’s where a ground-breaking materials technology presented by spinout SciFi Innovations and The Ohio State University (OSU) introduces exciting new possibilities to the aerospace industry. This technology was developed at the Center for Ultrasonic Additive manufacturing in OSU’s Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering.
Smart Carbon Fiber Integration (S-CFI) Improves Durability, Reduces Costs
SciFi Innovations is commercializing a technology for joining carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP) to metals with integrated sensing. This hybrid material technology, termed smart carbon fiber integration, enables multi-material aerospace structures that are more durable, inspectable, and maintainable than current alternatives.
“We have a joining technology that uses ultrasonics to build up layers of materials into a unified structure,” said Rick Myers, SciFi CEO. “We are able to join metals of different types to each other as well as dry carbon fiber to metals, prior to layup and cure into a final CFRP (carbon fiber reinforced polymer) structure. We are joining materials that are notordinarily thought of as being joined in this way, while also fundamentally addressing corrosion concerns.”
The manufacturing process involves specialized machines that use high-frequency ultrasonic vibration and pressure to build the parts without melting.
The low temperature enables the integration of metals, high-strength fibers, and electronics into “smart” lightweight structures. Subcomponents made of these hybrid materials could be fed into an existing assembly process and joined with other parts using conventional welding or metal-to-metal fasteners without requiring rework of the manufacturing line or facility.
Once deployed, the S-CFI structures combine high strength-to-weight ratio with an intrinsic ability to utilize its sensors to detect damage and perform other electronic functions.
Accelerated Commercialization Plans
SciFi Innovations is working with the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) under Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) grant to further explore aerospace applications of the S-CFI technology.
“We are still in the developmental stage. The next milestone is to develop a testing facility with ultrasonic additive manufacturing (UAM) equipment to begin design of our first minimum viable product (MVP). Although the UAM technology has demonstrated enormous promise as a low-volume process, SciFi Innovations aims to realize high-volume manufacturing of aerospace structures,” said Myers.
SciFi Innovations and OSU will be developing new computational models and simulations, as well as quality control processes and measurements.
“Things have evolved more rapidly than I dared hope,” Myers said. “We have gone from a concept discussion with OSU to successful Phase I and Phase II STTR awards in just over a year. We plan to continue growing the technology and move it from the lab to commercial applications at an accelerated pace.” | [
