According the the prenup that Katie Holmes
signed with Tom Cruise
years ago, she is pretty much cut out of his fortune. She will walk out of their relationship with her own finances and maybe a bit more, but it's pretty much nada for Katie. And she's fine with that. Sources close to her say, "She's not about the money. She's not that girl." The only thing that Katie does want is child support for their daughter Suri

Tips for church communicators, failure, cats in hats, a profound yet simple wellness tip and more in this week’s Snack Pack.
I hate failure, I mean, don’t we all? But Seth Godin’s post this week entitled, When will we learn? reminded me that sometimes we choose failure.
Three Cats in Japan Have a Closet Full of Custom-Made Hats Felted From Their Shedded Fur and it’s totally comical and genius. My three cats definitely shed enough to make hats out of their shedded fur but I feel like then they’d destroy them.
The Matrix is returning to theaters to celebrate its 20th anniversary which made me think of two things: one, The Matrix is as old as me, and two, maybe I should watch them because I’ve never seen them before.
This week’s post from the ChurchMag Archives is from 2013 and yet so applicable even today. So be sure to read, The World’s Quietest Room: Too Much Noise; Too Much Tech?
5 Fall Kickoff Tips for Church Communicators and while it may seem early for that, it’s never too early to begin planning.
This made me laugh so hard. I don’t know how many times this happened to me.

What’s the miracle? That when you were stuck a way opened up? Or awakening to the truth that the Giver is paying such close attention to your Exodus?.. You were made to be free in the world. And you were made to be loved through the world... #spiritualpractice #spiritualdirection #visiodivina #spiritualformation #visualprayer #visualprayers #egypt #exodus #partingofredsea #exodus

i wrote the words above the day after the last Presidential election. i cried that morning. A lot us cried that morning. i have a complicated relationship with this statement today. Because while i agree with the statement, it’s not the entire picture. It’s easy to post about love and sing about love and it’s easy to wear the word “Love” on a t-shirt. It’s another thing entirely to stand against bad ideas and bad policy, against racism and bigotry and fear. We like love when it doesn’t rock the boat. We like love when it doesn’t cost us anything. But love should move us to tell the truth. Love should move us to see and say the difference between right and wrong. Love should move us to pass legislation that saves lives. Love should move us to listen to scientists so that our grandchildren won’t have to suffer because of climate change. Love should move us to not simply think about the politics that affect us but to consider those who are marginalized, those whose lives look different from ours. Love should move us to spend our privilege well. Love should move us to stand up for equality. Love should move us to have hard conversations with people we disagree with. Love should move us to care not only about mental health but about the many other challenges of being a person on this planet. i’m no longer interested in a cheap easy love. i want the love where everyone gets a seat at the table. i want the love where we treat people with decency and respect no matter where they were born, no matter what language they speak. i want the love where evil is called what it is. i want the love that’s more than thoughts and prayers, because maybe we’re called to use our brains to figure out solutions and maybe sometimes we’re invited to be the answers to prayers. // If we can wrestle with these ideas, if we can live this kind of love, then heck yes it will be the most powerful force on the planet.
You cannot love your neighbor while supporting or accepting systems that crush, exploit, and dehumanize them.
You cannot love your neighbor while accepting less for them and their family than you do for you and your own.@mika_edmondson

This is applicable everywhere and anywhere.
“People have said, “don’t cry“ to other people for years and years, and all it has ever meant is, “I’m too uncomfortable when you show your feelings. Don’t cry.“ I’d rather have them say, “go ahead and cry. I’m here to be with you.“”

I’m talking to you today about those things that are not getting done on your list that you tell yourself it’s simply about time – where you say things like: “I just need to take the time and do it, I just need to find the time and finish that.”
I have also told myself the same thing in the past, but you need to know that it’s not about the time. I have taken this frame of mind with certain projects that I wanted to get done. I thought, “I just need to grab a couple hours and finish that.” But then the time comes when I have taken a week off work, or we have a long weekend, and strangely enough when “more time” was available the thing still doesn't get done.
It's not about just magically finding the time. If it was about just the time, we would have finished it. I'm also not going to tell you that it's about priorities either. Usually, that's the next thing discussed – you hear, “it's not the time, it's just...
At some point, we all grapple with those BIG questions…Questions like: Should I leave my job? Am I really happy? What am I really leaving as a legacy?
Today we’re talking about what to do when they come up.
I've seen this true across the board with people I have come into contact with through Certified High Performance Coaching – these are questions we ponder. We think about whether we are really fulfilled, or if the different parts of our lives are really working. But we don't tend to talk openly about these things with others.
In coaching sessions, these are exactly the types of things that we talk about. But since everybody is not experiencing coaching on a regular basis, I wanted to take a minute to talk about what to do when you have one of these big life questions.
In coaching sessions with my clients, we always start with clarity when we talk about big life questions. A common mistake in this area is that when we are thinking about big life changes, we...
I want to give you a recalibration today of “me time.”
Inevitably, this topic will come up in conversation with the high performers that I coach.
Typically, it's things like, “Well, I don't get enough sleep, I usually spend a lot of time on my phone before I fall asleep in bed.” Or, “I know I could work on that major goal that I have for my personal life in the evenings, but after dinner I just want to sit and chill. I just want to watch TV.”
When I ask more questions about why they are engaging in those particular activities instead of the things that they say they want – like more sleep and time for those personal goals – usually the answer I get is something along the lines of, “I just feel like it's the only time I have ‘me time.’”
Upon reflection, the high performers I talk to know deep down that this is not exactly what we mean by “me time.” I want to bring that topic forward to really think...
I want to talk about a topic that you might not think about very often – imagination.
I was prompted to speak on this topic because of something I overheard at the salon, and I realized that it's something we need to talk about more. I heard a client talking to her stylist about engaging with her nieces and nephews and how they like to play characters. She explained that when she comes to play with them, she’s at a loss at imaginary play. She talked about the elaborate stories she would engage in when she was young, but now she freezes when she has to use that imagination.
What I realized is that we all need to be reminded – we are always using our imagination, we just might not be using it well or intentionally. I say this because we all spend significant time thinking about how things might turn out. What we may not have consciously realized is that this is your imagination, right?!?
If something hasn't happened yet, and you are predicting outcomes, you are using...
Today we are talking about time management versus energy management. So often, my conversation with high performers is about time – having enough time to do it all. But where I re-orient that conversation is toward energy management.
Time is a finite resource, but energy is a renewable one. When we speak about “managing,” we must think about managing our energy. Time management is a piece of the puzzle, but a separate conversation. How you manage your energy determines how much you get out of your time.
The energy that you bring to your time defines how you progress forward. Think back to your college days when you had that paper due – when you had enthusiasm and freshness from a good night’s rest versus the times you “crammed.” I can remember staying up all night, and the difficulty of still trying to put | [

Built-in Global Connectivity
For cellular IoT devices, roaming is often the default state. And with emnify's global IoT SIM cards, your devices can leverage IoT roaming anywhere in the world with a single connectivity provider.
IoT roaming at a glance
One contract, global IoT roaming
emnify partners with hundreds of carriers around the world, and with a single pay-as-you-go contract, we give you access to them all. As you deploy in new countries, you never have to create new contracts to get the coverage you need
Switch carriers over-the-air with eSIMs
Some countries don’t allow permanent roaming, which means your SIM cards have to have a profile for a local carrier. Our eSIMs enables you to deploy with the same SIM cards (and same SKUs) in these specific countries without roaming.
Get redundant coverage
One of the problems with using a traditional cellular carrier is that in each country you deploy, there’s often just one network available. With emnify, in most countries you’ll have multiple networks to choose from—so you’ll always have a backup.
Select the best network every time—automatically
Network selection isn’t a process you want to manage for every SIM. Thankfully, emnify handles this for you, automatically selecting the network with the strongest signal or lowest costs wherever your SIMs deploy and wherever your devices roam.
All you need to scale
Your Business, Our Roaming Solution

APIs have increasingly changed how businesses function, both internally and externally. Organizations are more distributed—with their employees and their software. There are more devices and other systems that require API-driven solutions, which has led to an expansion of API programs in the enterprise. While the flexibility of APIs enabled this rapid growth, it caused a new set of problems.
With ubiquitous APIs, much more data and functionality is shared across an organization. Simultaneously, most companies have even less visibility into how their software interacts and where there are opportunities for improvement. The same things that make APIs successful are also bloating enterprise development.
🔗 Modern APIs Grew Organically
Before APIs, as we know them today, there were other approaches defined for exchanging data. With them, internal sharing was the primary motivator. When popular web companies opened public APIs twenty years ago, it started a trend that changed the software landscape permanently.
In the late 1990s, the Internet was still in its commercial infancy. Where databases were once the hub of data-connected software, new possibilities emerged with remote procedure calls. Service-oriented architecture (SOA) became the means for designing connected software around these application components.
Amazon famously mandated that all teams expose their functionality through “service interfaces.” That was in 2002, the same year that Amazon published its first public API. Salesforce and eBay had done the same a couple of years earlier. These three giants of the Internet provided the first examples of modern APIs.
The SOA approach was intentionally agnostic to how it was implemented. That meant an engineer at two different companies might make interfaces that look very different. Public APIs, by comparison, provided examples that anyone could emulate internally. Indeed, these early entrants used the Simple Object Access Protocol SOAP APIs, a messaging standard defined by the W3C.
The move from SOAP to REST occurred over the next 10 years. Developers embraced a more flexible approach that also used a convention that encouraged familiar interfaces. Now GraphQL has emerged as another alternative interface, led by Facebook. However, the pattern with these modern APIs remains: public examples encourage internal technology choices. An engineer can jump into a new company and build upon its foundation of API knowledge.
Just as engineers can easily consume APIs, they can also quickly create and expose them. Enterprises typically have hundreds or thousands of APIs. In most organizations, it’s easier to build a new interface than to understand what already exists. This growth is a natural offshoot of the industry’s path to modern APIs. Many organizations take action to direct how their APIs expand. They can’t put a stop to the rapid expansion, nor would they want to stop its growth—their businesses rely on these APIs to function.
🔗 Almost All Software Requires APIs
Along with API growth in the enterprise comes a reliance upon those interfaces. In concert, we’ve moved from centralized computing to a distributed model. There are many different devices and systems that need to access an organization’s APIs. Not to mention, partnering with external collaborators also depends upon APIs. The concept of any “non-API software” is dwindling.
Long ago, you would buy your software in a box and install it on your machine. Even in the early days of the Internet, the box was replaced by a download. Once installed, your connection might only be used to update the software. This is obviously an antiquated definition of software. Even desktop applications now frequently make use of real-time interactivity through APIs.
Similarly, phone and tablet apps are driven with APIs. Any IoT device must include an interface to send and receive updates. Many websites and every software-as-a-service need APIs to connect the front-end code to the server-side logic. Anything an engineer builds today is likely to consume or provide an API—or both.
Because APIs are ubiquitous, it is difficult or impossible for a company to quantify what they have available. Counting APIs is only the first step toward deeper analysis. Expansion of APIs may be natural, but it’s hardly efficient.
Building software is expensive and most organizations have no idea how much time, money, and opportunity they’re wasting.
🔗 No API Governance is Strong Enough
The growth of modern API programs was made possible by public examples that were easy for engineers to emulate. The expanding number of interfaces was further needed to support just about every software project started in the last 10 years. Yet, the problem with ubiquitous APIs is we can’t easily grasp everything that our engineering teams create. But organizations certainly try.
When a company or business unit looks to apply API governance, there are a few issues on their mind. They know their API program is full of:
As a solution, they look to impose requirements for how APIs are built. These guidelines can be incredibly helpful, especially for new teams. However, these rules typically only apply to new APIs. There’s little insight into whether existing interfaces | [

LONDON ⸺ Royal Dutch Shell has agreed to sell its stake in an offshore gas field in the Philippines for $460 million as part of its strategy to narrow its oil and gas operations.
Shell sold its 45% stake in Service Contract 38 (SC38), a deepwater license which includes the producing Malampaya gas field, to a subsidiary of the Udenna Group which already holds a 45% stake in the project.
The base consideration for the sale is $380 million, with additional payments of up to $80 million between 2022 to 2024 contingent on asset performance and commodity prices, Shell said in a statement.
The deal is targeted to complete by the end of 2021.
Shell’s head of oil and gas production, known as upstream, said the deal “is consistent with Shell’s efforts to shift our Upstream portfolio to one that is focused on nine core positions.”

Another 'Blob' off B.C. coast? Scientists monitoring new marine heatwave
A comparison of the 2014 marine heatwave known as 'the Blob,' and the 2019 formation. (NOAA)
Roughly five years after a marine heatwave dubbed "the Blob" led to decreased salmon stocks in the Northeastern Pacific, researchers are seeing another troubling rise in ocean temperatures.
Scientists caution the latest heatwave detected off the B.C. and U.S. coasts resembles the early stages of the Blob, which sent waters warming up to 5 C above seasonal averages.
Andrew Leising, a researcher with the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, said what they're seeing today is already "on a trajectory to be as strong as the prior event."
"On its own, it is one of the most significant events that we've seen," Leising said in a statement.
The Blob was the largest marine heatwave recorded in the Pacific over the last 40 years, and the new heatwave, which runs from Alaska to southern California, already ranks second.
Scientists said they are monitoring its progress closely, ready to alert fisheries and other stakeholders about the potential negative effects.
The less hospitable conditions of the original Blob meant less food for fish and marine mammals, causing a significant drop in salmon returns, according to the NOAA.
Thousands of young California sea lions also became stranded as their mothers went foraging further and further for meals, and the warm water contributed to a record-breaking algae bloom that shut down crabbing and clamming for months.
Even humpback whales were affected. During the heatwave, the whales fed closer to shore, causing a record-number of entanglements in crab traps and fishing gear.
But it's unclear whether the new marine heatwave will stick around long enough to have similar impacts. As of now, researchers say it's "primarily affecting the upper layers of the ocean," and could break up rapidly.
"It looks bad, but it could also go away pretty quickly if the unusually persistent weather patterns that caused it change," Nate Mantua, a researcher from the Southwest Fisheries Science Center, said in a statement.
According to the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, climate modeling has determined human-caused global warming is the best explanation for the original Blob, which came amid a steady increase in overall water temperatures in the North Pacific Ocean that’s been going on for decades.
Researchers have recorded annual jumps of 0.1 C to 0.3 C a year since 1950, and the warmer waters have led to a number of ongoing problems for salmon and other marine life. | [

If you are a individual that is trying to look for love, it will be a very good idea to consider https://mybeautifulbride.net/rating/love-swans the advantages and disadvantages of internet dating. This will allow you to know in the event that online dating will probably be right for you. You will probably get a opportunity to see the other people think about online dating. This will clue you in as to on how very much the internet can help you.
There are quite one or two pros to online dating. You will get access to a large database of singles, which will make it easier for you to find someone who you these can be used with with. Something else about online dating is that every profiles happen to be completely private. Unlike published ads just where people have a chance to interact, online dating permits people to preserve their data private.
Online dating also has its own cons. Lots of people have discovered relationships and even marriages to become harder than they believed. For this reason, you will discover people who have broken up with their on the net partners and therefore are seeking a serious romantic relationship. The relationship will not be perfect, however it can work. This runs specifically true for those individuals who are looking for serious and long-term relationships.
One common problem that individuals have on-line is privacy issues. Seeing that everything is performed online, you can expect to need to worry about your info being looked at by anyone who comes across your profile. Because of this, it is strongly suggested that you use a reliable level of privacy service. Though this may be costlier, it will ensure that your info will not be viewed by anyone who should not gain access to it.
Additionally, it is important to be mindful when offering personal information including your treat and phone number. You should only talk about this information for anyone who is sure that you trust the individual. Do not provide your home treat and contact number, unless you happen to be absolutely sure the fact that person can be trustworthy. Will not give out your region unless you will be absolutely certain the fact that the person is not able to contact you after having a while. Additionally, be wary of sites that require payments mainly because chances are they may be scams.
Maybe the most important con of online dating is that you cannot remember of the quality of the romance you start. Because you have met the person web based, this does not means that he or she is a fantastic person. There are numerous cases where people get into relationships that end up in marriage. For this reason, the net has been called «the root cause of divorce. inch It can be up to you to make certain that the person you are dating is growing rapidly not only legitimate but also offers the same requirements as you do.
Upon having decided on a person, remember to get to know the other person thoroughly. Talk to him or her to meet up with your family and possess them around. Make sure that you spend time getting to know your partner very well. This will as well help prevent the situation where you meet somebody and fall in love with him or her and after that realize that not necessarily a good match. You want to make sure that you just spend the required time together so that you will are at ease with each other.
Online dating sites has a wide range of pros as well as cons. The most crucial thing is that it enables you to meet persons from all over the world and from various cultures. The other point is that you never really find out who you are appointment until you actually become friends with them internet. However, there are many disadvantages as well, so you should examine the pros and cons thoroughly before you make a conclusion about online dating. | [

WinMill Assists Fortune 500 Healthcare Services Provider with Application Security Services
One of the largest healthcare providers in the U.S. needed help with their application security. Governed by HIPAA, PCI and innumerable other regulations, they struggled to ensure that their applications were being sufficiently – and efficiently – tested for security vulnerabilities. The security team was overburdened and overscheduled, so scans were delaying production deployments. And the handoff from security testers to developers was clumsy, leaving it unclear whether vulnerabilities were real, how they should be fixed, and if they were fixed at all.
WinMill worked with this company to integrate Acunetix, one of the leading Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) tools, into their complex Software Development Life Cycle. We were able to help the company “shift left,” enabling developers to test and remediate in their own environments, prior to deployment. Findings were integrated into a centralized tracking system. We provided training to help them prioritize results, flesh out false positives and remediate the real problems.
The project was wildly successful – deployment cycle times were dramatically reduced, time to remediation was dramatically reduced, the amount of code being scanned was dramatically increased, and the company now has clear visibility into the security status of its applications.
• The business unit’s security team held full control of application security testing operations. Application security testing was taking place very late in the SDLC.
• Scan results were being provided to development teams weeks and even months after changes to code had been committed.
• The application development team supports a massive (over one million lines of code), home-grown, client-facing application that is deployed across several hundred affiliated websites. The application has hundreds of third party dependencies and offers tight integration via REST API for hundreds of partner companies.
• Applications in this company’s production and staging environments require SMS multi-factor authentication to log in, making the automation of application security operations significantly more difficult.
• The company did not have a continuous integration or deployment architecture in place that could be used to facilitate automated application security scanning.
• WinMill helped this company to evaluate scanning solutions, ultimately recommending Acunetix for DAST scanning. We performed of Proof of Concept to ensure the solution was viable, and then proceeded with installation, application onboarding and configuration. Scanning operations were shifted left into the QA environment, eliminating the need for multi-factor authentication for the majority of scans taking place.
• We trained the developers to use Acunetix, and taught best practices to designated Security Champions on the development team.
• We helped to integrate Acunetix into the company’s SDLC, including the configuration of a direct connection between Acunetix and Jira. We established remediation strategies and best practices, which were also incorporated into the SDLC.
The Health Care Provider’s development teams and security teams are now working together in an integrated, efficient, and secure DevOps architecture. Developers run scans before posting. Managers from both teams can schedule recurring scans and run immediate scans. As new applications are built, they are automatically incorporated into the secure DevOps architecture. When scans are completed, an application owner is automatically notified, and tickets are automatically created and assigned in Jira. Developers and application owners can retest specific vulnerabilities to confirm remediation, instead of re-running full scans against an entire application.
The number of application security scans being run has increased by more than 200%.
The mean time to remediation has decreased by more than 50%.
Applications are scanned (and remediated) before being delivered to production, eliminating the bottleneck of post-development/pre-production scanning. Deployment cycle times have been dramatically reduced.
Having shifted daily scanning responsibilities to the developers, the security team is able to focus more on strategic security planning and execution.

Gardens and Chickens and Goats, Oh My!
Once again it is high summer and time for garden tours. Santa Feans have a selection of garden tours to choose from. Tours range from Behind Adobe Walls and the Botanical Gardens to gardens that are a bit more home grown. As our garden is relatively modest I find inspiration from similarly DIY gardens. Home Grown New Mexico held their 3rd annual Kitchen Garden & Coop Tour in Santa Fe on July 28. Once again I biked the garden tour (easier parking and just as fast as driving!), had a great time and narrowly escaped a drenching downpour.
Instead of providing an exhaustive account of the tour here are a few things that caught my attention:
- Gardening in the Southwest is (almost) all about water - and we still need much more rain water catchment capacity!
- Using raised beds and imported soil is a quick way to deal with soil problems (too sandy, too clayey, not enough organic matter, etc.).
- I envy the homes on a big lot, but I don't really want more weeds to pull.
- I envy the homes with huge, mature trees. "The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago..."
- Goats are very cool, but I think I'll leave the livestock husbandry to others.
- If you have chickens, cover their run with wire mesh to keep out owls and hawks!
- If you have chickens, you're going to have mice too.
- There are a lot of gardeners in Santa Fe who are way more ambitious than I am!
"The best time to plant a tree is twenty years ago, the second best time is now. Someone's sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree."

To transform your wounded ego into a healthy ego, allow all your thoughts and emotions to come to the surface and be expressed without control, judgment, or blame. Take a risk to surrender to love and forgiveness. If you feel like crying, laughing, or expressing your sadness or joy, allow yourself to do so. Learning to trust what you feel and giving yourself permission to express it openly, honestly, and without shame will help to open your wounds and heal whatever pain you are feeling in your heart. A simple truthful expression can release you from the burden of your suppressed mental and emotional suffering and pain and will transform your wounds into more awareness and health. | [

NASA has awarded funding for nine new investigations for technology development of innovative Earth Science remote-sensing instruments, under the Instrument Incubator Program (IIP), to support the mission to understand and protect our home planet.
The selected proposals focus on high-priority measurement areas of Earth’s coastal region; Earth’s interior processes and motions; sea-ice thickness and snow cover; pollution effects; and precipitation, evaporation and cycling of water. A proposal also focused on innovative technologies supporting measurement concepts from the L1 or L2 Lagrangian points (the points in space where the opposing pull of the Earth reduces the effective pull of the Sun; L1 being on the sun-facing side of Earth and L2 on the opposite or dark side of the Earth).
The main purpose of IIP is to invest in research and
development of new and innovative technologies to support the NASA Earth Science Enterprise goals and objectives. IIP focuses on creating mature technologies leading to smaller, less resource-intensive and less expensive flight instruments that can be built quickly and efficiently.
The technologies selected include hyperspectral grating spectrometer technologies for measuring coastal region features and key chemical constituents in the troposphere that contribute to pollution. Advanced grating spectrometer technologies will also be studied for measuring atmospheric temperature and moisture from geosynchronous orbit.
Also selected are microwave radiometer and advanced radar technologies to measure sea-ice thickness, snow cover and rainfall, to support understanding cycling of Earth’s fresh water, variation of its climate, and monitoring of volcanoes, earthquakes and hazardous weather from geosynchronous orbits. An innovative investigation will explore technologies to place a solar-occultation instrument at the L2 Lagrangian point, about 1,500,000 km on the dark side of the Earth, to perform continuous profiling of many trace gases in the Earth’s atmosphere.
Technologies to measure fine deformations of the Earth’s crust, using interferometric synthetic aperture radars, and to measure minute changes in Earth’s gravitation field will also be developed. The objective is better understanding of natural hazards such as earthquakes, volcanoes, flooding, sea level change and severe storms.
The selected advanced technology projects will allow the next generation of orbiting environmental research satellites to observe Earth’s atmosphere, oceans and continents in minutes and seconds compared to days and hours. The enhanced temporal coverage compliments the enhanced spatial resolution that has been the hallmark of NASA’s Earth Science remote sensing technologies since the dawn of the space age.
The investigations selected by NASA’s Office of Earth Science are:
Scott Hensley (NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), Pasadena, Calif.): Rapid-Repeat Deformation Measurement Capability for the NASA AIRSAR System
Jay Herman (NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), Greenbelt, Md.): SVIP: Solar Viewing Interferometer Prototype for Observations of Earth Greenhouse Gases
Ziad Hussein (JPL): Cryospheric Advanced Sensor: A Spaceborne Microwave Sensor for Sea Ice Thickness and Snow Cover Characteristics
Eastwood Im (JPL): NEXRAD In Space (NIS) — A Radar for Monitoring Hurricanes from Geostationary Orbit
Scott Janz (GSFC): Geostationary Spectrograph (GeoSpec) for Earth and Atmospheric Science Applications
Thomas Kampe (Ball Aerospace Systems Division, Boulder, Colo.): The Spaceborne Infrared Atmospheric Sounder for Geosynchronous Earth Orbit (SIRAS-G)

The Barbados Economic Recovery and Transformation (BERT) programme is on track.
That is the word from Minister in the Ministry of Finance Ryan Straughn, who has revealed that officials from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) are pleased with the country’s performance.
An IMF team arrived on the island last week to receive an update on the programme which was introduced last June by Prime Minister Mia Mottley.
Speaking at a Barbados Labour Party (BLP) constituency meeting at St Christopher Primary on Sunday evening, Straughn said, “We have already had the second disbursement with respect to the funds from the IMF. We have worked really, really hard to make sure that we can give you the citizens the confidence that this plan is working.
“Now some persons would have been laid off and that is unfortunate, but we are working to make sure that the opportunities that we said we were going to provide, that we will actually provide,” he added.
Straughn said Government would continue to keep citizens abreast of what was going on throughout the duration of the four-year programme.
“The critical thing that I want to emphasize is that as we move through this, the confidence that you as citizens will have and surely businesses and investors will be critical in creating the conditions for better and greater and even more inclusive growth for the economy.
“Unlike the seven, eight, nine, ten plans that the previous government had, what
you will hear quarter after quarter, after quarter as we go through what we say we are going to do, we are communicating to you what is being done, who will be affected and how we plan to mitigate against it,” Straughn said.
“As those things happen, the report of the IMF represents that objective assessment of the success of the programme.” | [

Aker Solutions and MAN Diesel&Turbo recently agreed to form an alliance to develop the next generation in subsea compression systems that can be used at even the smallest oil and gas fields to increase recovery and lower costs compared with conventional platform solutions.
The two companies will build on their experience and cooperation from the successful delivery of the first subsea gas compression system at the Åsgard field in Norway. A key objective of the partnership is to develop new, cost-effective technology for high-capacity subsea compression systems.
The alliance combines Aker Solutions' capabilities in subsea processing, compression systems, controls, systems and interventions with MAN Diesel & Turbo's leading turbomachinery technology and its extensive gas compression expertise. The compression systems will be based on proven technology and for use at small subsea fields as well as large deposits such as Åsgard.
Compressors are used to maintain output as reservoir pressure at gas-producing fields decline. Placing them on the seabed near the wellheads boosts recovery rates, leaves a smaller environmental footprint and is
safer to operate than on a platform.
Aker Solutions delivered the subsea compression system at Åsgard, which came on stream on September 17 to enable the recovery of an additional 306 million barrels of oil equivalents from the Statoil-operated field.
MAN Diesel & Turbo, a sub-supplier to the project, is the first turbomachinery manufacturer to have developed a centrifugal compressor installed on the seafloor. This technology has undergone an extensive
qualification program and was successfully tested for the Åsgard project.
Aker Solutions and MAN Diesel & Turbo will provide customers with subsea compression systems based on current solutions as well as develop the next generation in this technology. | [

1. The hydraulic press cooler is installed at the overf […]
1. The hydraulic press cooler is installed at the overflow port of the main overflow valve. The characteristics of this installation method are: the hot oil generated by the relief valve is directly or cooled, and it is not affected by the impact pressure of the system, the one-way valve plays a protective role, and the stop valve can directly return the hydraulic oil to the oil tank when it is started.
2. The cooling is installed on the main oil return road. The characteristics of this installation method are: the cooler is directly installed on the main oil return road, and the cooling speed is fast, but when the system circuit has an impact pressure, the cooler is required to withstand higher pressure.
3. Independent cooling circuit. The advantage of an independent cooling circuit is that; a separate hydraulic pump passes the hot working medium to the cooler, which is not affected by hydraulic shocks.
Large equipment or hydraulic systems with serious heat generation are usually equipped with a separate cooling system, and the cooler is the core component of the cooling system. The main function of the cooler is to maintain the heat balance of the hydraulic system and keep its system temperature within the specified range. Generally, the temperature range is 35℃-55℃. When the temperature is higher than 55℃, the cooler will start. Cool down the oil temperature. Hydraulic equipment used in southern my country generally requires a cooling system, otherwise the equipment will be damaged due to excessive temperature in summer. | [

A study has found that belief in false information regarding the COVID-19 pandemic is correlated with anxiety and depression.
The study, reported by Deutsche Welle, used two questionnaires online, the "COVID-19 Conspiratorial Beliefs Scale" and the "Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale" to look for the correlations between false beliefs and mental health.
The researchers said that certain beliefs were common among people. One of the conspiracy beliefs was governments exaggerating the mortality rate. Others included 5G spreading the virus and that wearing a mask could cause "oxygen deficiency".
While anxiety was moderately linked, depression was highly correlated with belief in erroneous information about the pandemic.
The study also suggested that there was a significant correlation between belief in false pieces of information and belief in broader conspiracy theories.
The WHO said that the lockdowns caused a spike in mental health issues. Depression and anxiety rose by 25% in the first year of the pandemic's emergence.
However, the study that shows correlation does not provide explanations for how the beliefs result in mental health issues. | [

Google Creative Lab has created a series titled iPhone People Talking Pixel, advertising Google’s Pixel 2 phone. Comprised of nine animated shorts, the series brings the unscripted opinions of iPhone users who tried out the Pixel 2 for a week, to life.
The topics in each short range from the ease of setting up the phone to how long the battery lasts, each one illustrated in the style of nine animators to reflect the personality of the speaker and create a storyline from the soundbite. Google Creative Lab worked with Anyways to source both established and up and coming animators from around the world including Igor Bastidas, Nicolo Bianchino, Jordan Bruner, Bee Grandinetti, Sophie Koko Gate, Andy Martin, Michaela Mihalyi, César Pelizer and Chen Winner. Coming in at around a minute each, the shorts are available to view on Google UK’s YouTube channel.
“We knew that people go to YouTube when they’re researching their new mobile and that they trust other peoples’ opinions more than anything else,” Google Creative Lab explains, “we saw this as an opportunity to turn the traditional testimony on its head, making it into something truly engaging and shareable.”
“We supplied each animator with an audio file with no further information about the person behind the soundbite and worked alongside them to create a new narrative.” Showcasing a variety of styles from 2D and 3D animation to stop motion and clay, the videos are set to a soundtrack comprised almost completely of ringtones and notification sounds from the Pixel 2.
This process of allowing each animator to fully interpret each speaker’s voice and encapsulate it how they saw fit has led to unexpected but touching moments. Sophie Koko Gate has created an imaginary rabbit who gets blown away by music (and loves it a bit too much), whereas Andy Martins’ layering of clay and line drawings have transformed a blob into “a subtle study on long-term relationships and web surfing.”

Hitch hiking Europe 1987. Arrive Beaune, France. Walk through vineyards from the motorway and onto the town’s beautiful cobbled streets. Wow. Fate sealed. Much networking (beer drinking) at Pickwicks resulted in two vintages at the beautiful Domaine Bertagna in Vougeot working with winemaker Roland Masse, (more recently Hospice de Beaune fame), followed by vintages in Bordeaux, Spain & South Africa. Who was the first flying winemaker anyway…
Fast forward a few years & back in Cape Town, South Africa. What a place. Mountains, oceans, sunshine & vineyards. Paradise? Home is now at the foot of the majestic Table Mountain. Doesn’t get much better than that especially if you love living life to the full. Climbing, running and biking on the mountain, or simply gazing at it, forces you to smile no matter what you feel like. What an inspiration…
I have been in the wine business for over 25 years having worked in Burgundy, Bordeaux, Spain, Portugal, UK, Chile & South Africa. I have been involved in all areas of the business from wine making to marketing. When I am not involved with something vinous or on that mountain I spend as much time as I can with my family.
WINEMAKING & PHILOSOPHY
Living in the Cape gave me the first real opportunity to make wines for myself. I wanted to produce wines which had broad appeal yet with elegance and complexity, delivering genuine value for money. You taste a glass, you want to finish the bottle! In turn this had to be represented by something which truly inspired me & has a big influence on the wine regions of the Cape – Table Mountain or Sea Mountain was a perfect fit. It’s also where South Africa’s very first vineyards were planted in 1652.
I try to keep things simple, not always easy, but wine helps & I try to have as much fun as I can.
The Sea Mountain crest depicts the outline of Table Mountain & on each side is a picture of the Devil & a Cape Lion. A metaphor for Devils Peak and Lions Head, the two peaks which frame the landmark. Underneath is the sea and the word Hoerikwaggo. The colour blue was chosen to reflect the sea – the ice cold South Atlantic.
The Devils Peak & Limestone vineyards are in Robertson, a green paradise with 1700m mountains on either side, where unique limestone soils formed from shell deposits in ancient lakes. Limestone soils add great elegance to many wines & are rare to find outside the classic French vineyards of Champagne, Loire & Burgundy. The chalky soil is ideal for fruit and mineral character whilst the red shale on the hills gives the wine structure. The South Easter wind blows up from Table Mountain during the summer months, cooling the vineyards and keeping them healthy. Table Mountain acts like a catapult, as the wind powers around the mountain, over the Cape Flats, through the Hottentot Holland mountains and inland. The temperature falls from an average of 30 degrees at midday to 15 at night. This high thermic oscillation is key to quality, as it allows the vines to concentrate fruit flavours & acidity overnight.
The Devils Peak and Limestone ranges were created to offer wines of delicious fruit concentration & elegance. Approachable to all yet with a soft, mineral complexity whilst reflecting their varietal characteristics. Devils Peak & Limestone are the first chapter of the Sea Mountain story with plans afoot to develop more ranges in other special regions of the Cape.

DID YOU KNOW…
At over 260 million years old, Table Mountain is older than the Andes, the Alps, the Rocky Mountains and the Himalayas. Basically, it is the mountain equivalent of Gandalf the White from The Lord of the Rings… feel the power.
Table Mountain is the only terrestrial structure in the world to have a constellation named after it. In 1754, French astronomer Nicolas Louis de Lecaille named the southern constellation Mensa after the iconic landmark. He originally called it Mons Mensae, which is Latin for “the table mountain”.
In 2012, Table Mountain was inaugurated as one of the world’s ‘New7Wonders of Nature’.
Table Mountain is home to a rich diversity of flora and fauna, many species of which are endemic (exclusively native to a specific area) and survive only in its unique ecosystem. An example of this is the Table Mountain Ghost Frog, an animal that cannot be found anywhere else in the world. Lesser known fact: The amphibian’s name will likely inspire the name of an up-and | [

Claims priority, application llapan, May 15, 1961,
4 iaims. (Cl. 124-47) The present invention relates to a toy gun, particularly to the trigger of a toy gun of the type using a spring to power a projectile.
The new trigger has a portion of it designed so as to apply direct pressure on a striker means to discharge a ball projectile, in such a way that the striker means is moved into strike position in synchronization with the movement of the trigger, while the new stopper means provided either integrally on the trigger or separately but interlockedly in motion with the trigger, for stoppage or check of the ball, accompanies the trigger in motion, thereby making it possible to `achieve a remarkable increase in the initial speed of the ball, increased range, improved linearity of trajectory and increased accuracy, as well as the production of toy guns which simulate the discharge of true ones in action and effect.
In the prior art, some toy guns simply employ a powder to effect a discharge noise, and some use a spring means to propel a ball. Those which discharge balls are more interesting and more in demand. However, in discharging balls by means of an impelling spring, it is impossible to secure an undisturbed long-range trajectory, unless the release of the spring driven striker is synchronized with the release of the ball positioning stopper. If the ball is struck by the striker means before it is completely released from check, the stopper resistance may give a loss to the impelling force; and if the ball lies released from check before the striker means starts to strike, the ball may be displaced from the most effective striking position, causing the striker means to contact the ball projectile with less than its full force, i.e. the full effect of the impelling force is not transferred to the ball. Despite the presence of an important relativity between the strike action of the striking means for the ball and the position of the ball as the strike action takes place, the prior art indicates no further development than the simple use of a spring means as such, and fails to show any further studies on this point; nor has there been any practical improvement in performance, so that the range is still poor and the stopper means for the ball causes frequent trouble and inaccuracy.
The present invention removes such defects mentioned in prior art toy guns, by designing the trigger to directly press on the striker means and simultaneously withdraw the stopper. The pressure action on the trigger is integrally bound with the functional action of the striker means, thereby perfectly synchronizing the moments when the trigger reaches its final position and when the striker means is moved to its final strike position. Furthermore, in accordance with the invention, the stopper means, provided either integrally on the trigger, or separately but interlockedly in action with the trigger, perfectly synchronizes the moment when the release of the ball from check occurs with the moment when the striker acts on the ball, so that it becomes possible for the striker means to strike the ball with its maximum striking force free from any checking resistance, thus increasing initial speed, range and accuracy. Such design in accordance with the invention, has such additional advantages as economic production, reliability and a decrease in mechanical trouble.
Consequently, one of the objects of the invention is to provide a trigger for a toy gun, one portion of said trigger being designed to press on the striker means and another portion provided with an integral stopper means for stopping or checking the ball.
Another object of the invention is to provide a trigger for a toy designed such that a portion of the trigger is made to press on the striker means, and a stopper means for ball which is separately provided from | [

|A wind tunnel model of the XP-59|
|Manufacturer||Bell Aircraft Corporation|
|Status||Cancelled October 1940 (XP-52) |
Cancelled 25 November 1941 (XP-59)
When the XP-59 project was cancelled the designation XP-59A was used as a cover for a secret jet fighter prototype, which would enter production as the P-59 Airacomet.
The XP-52 design was begun by the Bell Company in 1940, separate from the R-40C competition, under the Air Material Command designator MX-3.
The short fuselage carried a piston engine in the rear, driving a pair of contra-rotating propellers in a pusher configuration. The wings were swept back at an angle of 20 degrees, with a horizontal stabilizer mounted behind the propeller on twin booms running back from the wings. The fuselage was unusually streamlined, being round and barrel-shaped, with the forward-located pilot's cockpit fully faired-in to its lines and the nose ending in a round air intake which was ducted back internally to the engine. The undercarriage was a tricycle arrangement, with the main wheels retracting into the tailbooms. Propulsion was to be provided by the experimental Continental XIV-1430-3 inverted V-12 engine.
Although generally similar in layout to the XP-52, the XP-59 was slightly larger and heavier, and was to be powered by a Pratt and Whitney R-2800-23 engine of 2,000 horsepower (1,500 kW). Two prototypes were ordered in February 1941.
On 3 October 1941 the contract for Bell's first jet fighter was signed. The prototype was designated the XP-59A and it would enter production as the P-59 Airacomet. The original XP-59 was cancelled on November 25, 1941 because Bell itself was pre-occupied with development of the Bell P-63 Kingcobra.

I just saw Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince for the first time. I don't get out to the theaters anymore and wait for movies to come out on DVD before I see them. All I can say is this was an absolute disgrace.
I have read all the books and now seen all the films currently out. The books are of course amazing and they really do read on an adult level, especially by book 4 when people start to die. But book 6, the Half Blood Prince, is by far in my opinion the most intense and heartbreaking story of the whole lot, even more so then the final book which is the actual war.
Up till now I have also been greatly impressed with the movies. Each one was extremely well-made and told with great loyalty to the subject matter. Of course there were some changes, there had to be. The movies for each book could run hours if they didn't cut some things, but they stayed true to what was most important.
So, that is why I am completely dumbfounded and dismayed at the total desecration of book 6 as it appears in the movie. Almost everything that made this book heartwrenching is gone. Much of the subtle machinations that go on in the book that give you hints of what is to come have been completely stripped from the movie. Even Dumbledore's death scene has been completely altered.
Snape didn't sneak up on Harry Potter. Harry had been hidden behind his cloak and immobilized by Dumbledore so he wouldn't reveal himself to the traitors. The part where Harry tells everyone that Dumbledore is dead and who did it is gone. Most of the clues to Voldemort's past as told by his memories are untold. Really, they could have cut the Quidditch scenes as they played no real part in the story and included the details for the plot that were needed.
I am disgusted at what they did with this movie. It's a complete and total waste compared to the book. And like I said, based on what they did with the other movies I was totally surprised by how little respect was given this story. I hope that by splitting the last book into 2 movies they will do it more credit than they did Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. | [

The Fujifilm X-T2: The Best X Body To Date?
- The Canon 6D DSLR vs 5D Mark III – Head-to-Head Comparison - December 13, 2021
- Reasons to Love the Nikon D3400 - December 13, 2021
- Get Out and Find Stuff: The Full SoloShot2 Review - December 13, 2021
One of the most exciting innovations in digital photography has been the introduction of mirrorless camera by all of the major camera manufacturers. Photographers of all skill levels have been drawn to these cameras due to their small size, lightweight, and excellent performance. In 2016 Fujifilm, who is arguably the most innovative camera manufacturer in the market today, introduced the X-T2, as an upgrade to their well-received X-T1, which was introduced in 2014. Lets first take a look at mirrorless cameras in general and then we will take an in-depth look at the Fujifilm X-T2 and see how it performs.
What sets Fujifilm X-T2 Apart?
What sets mirror-less cameras apart from traditional DSLR cameras is the elimination of the camera’s mirror assembly, which reflects light into the camera’s optical viewfinder. When the photographer presses the shutter release button, the mirror assembly is retracted, as the shutter opens capturing the image on the camera’s sensor. The X-T2 uses an electronic viewfinder eliminating the need for the bulky and heavy mirror assembly. When the shutter release button is pressed on a mirror-less camera, the sensor is exposed to the image without the need to retract a mirror. As a result, these bodies are smaller, lighter and quieter than traditional DSLR cameras. In the case of the Fujifilm X-T2 the camera measures 3.61” x 5.22” x 1.94” and weighs approximately 16.1 ounces. It is also very quiet!
The Fujifilm X-T2 is based on the APS-C format, which uses a smaller “cropped” sensor compared to the more expensive full frame format. Although smaller, the X-Trans CMOS sensor, which measures 23.6mm x 15.6 mm, is a very advanced and capable sensor that produces high-resolution images at 24.2 megapixels. As one would expect from a camera body with a suggest retail price of $1,599.00, the image quality that the X-T2 produces is excellent! Check out the latest prices and discounts here.
The electronic viewfinder on the X-T2 is bright and refreshes at.005 seconds, resulting in virtually no lag as the camera is moved when composing an image. In addition, the photographer will also see information in the viewfinder regarding the camera’s settings, eliminating the need to take they eye off of their subject to check the settings. One of the great things about electronic viewfinders is that they provide 100% coverage, which means that the image seen in the viewfinder is exactly the same that is capture on the X-T2’s sensor.
The X-T2 has an excellent autofocus system that is fast and reliable with the camera finding and holding focus easily. Fujifilm has included up to 325 autofocus points, which are evenly distributed in the viewfinder. While the photographer can hide the autofocus points to reduce the clutter in the viewfinder, 325 points seems to be a bit excessive and is more of a marketing ploy with little real life usefulness.
Once images are captured, they are processed by the camera’s processor, which Fujifilm calls the X-Processor Pro. This processor is quite advanced, allowing the photographer to shoot at 14 frames per second, which is quite high for a camera that this price point. Images are written as either JPEG or RAW files to SD, SDHC or SDXC memory cards held in the X-T2’s two memory card slots. As with other cameras., the second memory card on the X-T2 can be configured in a number of ways ranging from backup of the first card to overflow once the first card is full.
The X-T2 features an excellent native ISO range of 200-12,800, which can be expanded down to ISO 100 and up to ISO 51,200. Image quality is very good even at moderately high ISO settings as the software in the X-T2 does a good job of reducing noise without removing detail. As with most cameras, it is best to try to keep the ISO settings within a reasonable range to achieve the cleanest images possible.
Some Pros and Cons
The X-T2 is a photographer camera and does not feature many of the various preset scene and creative exposure modes. Instead, the X-T2 uses the traditional exposure modes such as Program AE (P), Aperture Priority AE (A), Sh | [

‘Udta Punjab’ has remained in the news since it rolled. There were various reasons for this with one of the biggest being the star-cast. Shahid Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Kareena Kapoor Khan and debutante Diljit Dosanjh are enough to whet any cine-goer’s appetite but when the subject is a little out of ordinary, it rightfully ups the excitement level. In recent weeks, the film has taken over the news due to its incredible feat with the Censor Board and the run upto that result. The entire film fraternity united to stand against the cuts the Board was proposing, showing that they all believed that a film should not be cut but certified. As the film came up for release, it was sadly leaked online which could harm its overall business. BizAsia had the opportunity to attend the London press screening a day prior to the films release.
The film’s story revolves around the Punjab state and its drug problem. Tommy Singh (Kapoor) is a big superstar but his energy is all about him being high. Kumari Pinky (Bhatt), one day, comes across a huge amount of heroin and goes about trying to sell it to be able to make money and live a better life. Sartaj Singh (Diljit Dosanjh) is a policeman who is part of the force which turns a blind eye to the drug trade entering the state but when his own brother suffers from a life-threatening overdose, he relies on Dr Preet Sahni (Kapoor Khan) to try and make him break the habit. All four stories come together at various parts and the intermingling makes the soul of the film.
It has to be said that the film is definitely hard-hitting and there are parts which might not be entirely for family viewing. There are swear words and there are excruciating aspects to the story which highlight how affected by drugs a person’s life can become. Director and writer Abhishek Chaubey seems to have kept to the mood he is known for as a writer. As a director, he seems to have outdone himself. His depiction of all four stories, taking into account the limitations and feelings of each character, is truly admirable. Although the film’s start is quite slow and it takes a good 20-30 minutes for a viewer to fully get upto speed with what the characters and story are about, as the plot unravels, it’s hard to see this film without the actors in the roles they’re in.
Right from the first trailer, it was evident that performances would be quite something in ‘Udta Punjab’. Kapoor’s performance as a rockstar who is reliant on drugs until he comes face to face with the influence he has on young people is truly inspiring. He seems to have delved into the character of Tommy Singh completely and gives a more than decent performance. Bhatt as an underprivileged ex hockey player looking for her big break from life is equally poignant and, when she has a ‘Highway’ (2014) behind her, it was hard to think she might depict this character even better but she does. Bhatt seems to play Kumari with such authenticity and such depth that the audiences seem to get mesmerized with her every emotion and her plight. Kapoor Khan as a doctor wanting to get to the drugs suppliers and as someone who wants to help youngsters overcome their drug addiction is indeed portraying many who have that everyday struggle to provide good care. Her look is absolutely de-glam and she is a natural in the role. Her chemistry with newbie Dosanjh is one of the lighter points of the film, allowing for some romance and comedy to creep in to an otherwise dark plot. Dosanjh makes a strong debut as Sartaj and shows the emotions well of a family hit hard by drugs. His character’s pain and his slight infatuation with Preet are equally easy to watch and it seems ‘Udta Punjab’ is a perfect film for him to make his initial mark on Indian cinema. Also, if you look very carefully, you might spot a short appearance from Kapoor’s brother Ishan, soon to make his official Bollywood debut.
There are scenes in the film which particularly stand out but the ones that define the entire movie are between the main characters. A scene in the second half when Tommy and Kumari meet for the first time brings in some comedy and seems to come as a realisation to both that the other is going through a drug problem but under very different circumstances. At the same time, the disturbing scenes of Kumari’s situation as well as a prison scene featuring Kapoor are both effectively humane in the overall narrative. The climax scenes are a hard watch; in fact at many parts there are times when you might feel you have an “Oh My God” moment because it | [

Established in February 2009 at NAS Jacksonville, Helicopter Maritime Strike Squadron (HSM) 70 is the first east coast squadron to fly the MH-60R Seahawk - commonly known as the "Romeo" variant.
Now, they're celebrating their first Commander, Naval Air Force Atlantic Battle Efficiency (Battle "E") award for the HSM category.
HSM-70 "Spartans" Commanding Officer Cmdr. Christopher Herr congratulated his squadron. "Winning this Battle "E" is special because in 2011 we just missed it by a hair.
For 2012, even though we were deployed for a relatively short time with Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 8 and USS George H.W. Bush (CVN 77) Carrier Strike Group - our subsequent shore-based operations schedule was packed with detachments, including:
• Two carrier qualifications dets for Navy training squadrons.
• Two trips to Atlantic Undersea Test and Evaluation Center for anti-submarine training.
• Supporting the Summit of the Americas aboard USS Gettysburg (CG 64).
• Sending a two-plane detachment to support the Naval Undersea Warfare Center's lightweight Mk 54 torpedo testing near Cape Cod, Mass."
Herr added, "I'm particularly proud of our performance after our homecoming from Bush. Typically, you enter the maintenance phase and drop off a lot of aircraft for rework - which limits aircraft availability and flight hours. But, our people did a great job with the resources at hand - and despite a large turnover of personnel, they supported our schedule of weapons delivery and tactical training that will help springboard us into our next deployment cycle."
Herr said, "Basically, our squadron is in the business of shielding a carrier strike group by dropping torpedoes and shooting missiles.
"We're not thinking about the Battle "E" in our everyday work. For pilots and aircrew, it's mostly doing your job by the book. It also takes maintainers, ordnancemen and support personnel who work tirelessly to ensure our Romeos are up and available at all times.
"When we deploy the full squadron (11 aircraft), we'll have three Romeos on the carrier and four two-plane detachments on the carrier strike group's supporting ships."
Currently, under CR/sequestration, the Spartans' upcoming deployment has shifted - so they're planning for their next six-month workup cycle to begin sometime this summer.
"With this schedule shift, we get some time to catch our breath, reevaluate our training objectives, and make sure our Romeos are flying with the latest software upgrade.
"We're fortunate that our air wing (CVW-8) was not one of the four recently grounded by Navy Secretary Ray Mabus. That means we've got the funding, people and parts to complete our missions," concluded Herr. | [

Amber-inlaid engraved silver flute
This item was a prize from the Hunt for History.
an amber-inlaid engraved silver flute
Almond-shaped nuggets of amber decorate the surface of this old silver flute. Leafy vines and curly tendrils etched into the metal flow like water around the inset gems. A rich patina has developed around the finger holes from long use.
A fine instrument used during the nutting season in Highmount.
No other details are known.
You hear the sound of laughter and whispering just behind you. The voice of a young maiden calls out, "How about this dress for the nutting festival?" She is answered by murmurs of approval from her friends. There is more giggling, and the sound of a brush sliding through long hair. The girls sing softly as they ready themselves, overlapping one another in a simple round that grows quieter and quieter before fading out altogether.
You hear a sudden gasp, then cheers erupt from all sides, though no source is visible. A deep voice booms out, "And now, the challenger!" There are more cheers, then the sound of a ball rolling along the ground and clicking against two others before coming to a halt. Triumphant shouts break out on one side, and good-natured grumbling on the other. The deep voice shouts, "Our new champion!" and the cheers grow loud before fading back into silence.
Fiddle music plays from somewhere very nearby, echoing as though inside a long room with a high ceiling. A flute joins in, and a large crowd claps along with the beat. After a short introduction, you hear the sound of many pairs of feet dancing about in time to the music. Snatches of conversation float in through the pauses, and laughter carries through like a minor theme. The tune changes, you hear a few loud hurrahs, then it all fades away.
This time you hear the flute most clearly, though the fiddle is still playing somewhere off to your left. The musician runs through a tricky passage, then pauses for a moment. You hear running feet approach, a soft giggle, then the sound of a daring kiss being delivered to the musician's cheek. The feet run off, the musician chuckles, and the playing resumes. The sound of the festivities grows louder and louder, then disappears, leaving only the sound of the flute. That plays on for a few more beats, then itself fades away into nothing more than memory. | [

The Boeing 737 Cowling Chair
Last updated on June 30th, 2017 at 11:08 am
The trend of upcycling is showing no signs of letting up. And while some upcycle attempts may look a little Blue Peter-y, one example that can’t be accused of such a thing is this chair made from an old aircraft’s engine. Take a look at the awesome ‘737 Cowling Chair’.
Created from the engine cowling of a Boeing 737 by the folks at Fallen Furniture, the colossal chair is welded together from sheets of titanium alloy on the exterior. Inside, the dark interior has upholstered in the highest quality leather, and to finish it off, the chair spins weightlessly on its highly polished spun aluminium base.
Based in Bath, Fallen Furniture is the brainchild of brothers Harry and Ben Tucker. Using reclaimed, authentic aircraft parts, from both military and civilian aircraft steeped in history, the company take pride in exploring the most innovative ways to breathe new life into remarkable feats of engineering to design and create pieces of art and furniture.

The Boy from New York City, the Girl from Tennessee Lyrics - 5 Chinese Brothers
Once I had a sweetheart
She meant the world to me
I met her on the road one night when we were in Tennessee
I met her in a barroom after we'd done a show
We sat and talked about the Louvins 'til the 'tender called time to go
She wrote her address on a napkin
I wrote mine on my CD
She said, "It was sure nice talking to you"
I said, "You'll be hearing from me"
I wrote her a letter the next day
She wrote one in return
The letters we wrote each other could have made the mailbox burn
I wrote her a long letter and told her that I loved her so
And if she'd come to New York to the altar we would go
I sent it with a dozen roses and I waited for her reply
Til the day the letter came my way that made me want to die
It said, "I know that you love New York
So wild and fancy free
And I love you, dear,
But I also love my home in Tennessee
Now I know that you'd be no more happy here than in the city I would be
So though I love you dear
I'm gonna stay right here
Home in Tennessee"
And now I know I will never wed
But a bachelor I'll always be
'Cause my heart belongs to a pretty girl down in Tennessee

Respiration begins when a seed absorbs water. The enzymes inside seeds have to be in suspension to function. Activated enzymes start respiration and use organic matter stored in the seed during respiration to make ATP molecules needed for growth. Respiration continues in the seed after the sprout has emerged until the seed’s endospermic material is used up and the cotyledons have produced the sprout.
What is True Respiration?
Respiration is a catabolic reaction that breaks down glucose and other nutrients. Germinating seeds take in oxygen from the surrounding air. The oxygen is used to convert nutrients stored in the seed’s endosperm into energy that the seed uses to sprout. Enzymes activated when the seed imbibes (takes in water) make the energy conversion possible. Carbon dioxide is given off as a waste product during respiration.
Soaking seeds before planting has been a common practice and seeds need water uptake to begin respiring. Dry seeds do respire, but at an extremely low, nearly undetectable rate. Stored gases in seeds are released when water is first taken up. This is not true respiration. True respiration starts when the seed’s testa (seed coating) is softened by water and enough water passes the softened coating to activate seed enzymes. The seed swells and begins to consume oxygen. “H2O2 acts as a signalling molecule,” says scientist Jianhua Xang of Hong Kong Baptist University.
Is Respiration Steady?
Respiration goes in spurts, like seedling growth. A root and a shoot develop as the result of the biochemical reactions in the seed. Seed respiration levels off after this point. When the root and shoot begin the next growth spurt leading up to true leaves, the respiration rate increases again to fuel the growth.
Factors Affecting Respiration
Respiration is affected by storage conditions. Injury or infection during storage makes seeds less able to respire. The germination environment also affects the rate of seed respiration. Adequate respiration depends on several factors, including light exposure, temperature, moisture, oxygen level and carbon dioxide level. These are called abiotic factors because they are nonliving parts of the seeds’ surroundings. An unfavourable environment during the first stage of respiration, when seeds take up water, strongly influences the rate of respiration during the rest of the seeds’ growth. An unfavourable environment inhibits respiration and can cause seed death or spindly seedlings.
When Does Respiration End?
When the young plant has sprouted and begun to grow the first set of true leaves, respiration slows. Seed respiration ends when the seed’s resources have been used up by the new seedling. | [

(WSVN) – After the school district reported receiving hoax calls reporting a shooting at Miami Central High School, several parents were understandably anxious when it came time to collect their children from the school.
On Tuesday, just after 9 o’clock in the morning, officials got a call regarding a male adult shooter wearing body armour who was on the second floor of Miami Central High School, which is located at 1781 NW 95th St.
A mom named Shayna Anderson shared her experience by saying, “My child contacted me talking about code red 911.”
Eric Cummings, one of the parents, said that his child was “right in the classroom right there.”
After receiving swatting calls reporting active shooters at many campuses across South Florida, school administrators decided to shorten the length of the school day.
Anderson stated, “I was terrified for my life, so I had no choice but to come and pick up my child.”
“We were in class learning when they came on the announcement and said it was a code red, not a simulation,” said Talia Landingham, another student at the school. “It was a real emergency, not a drill.”

There was a line of parents waiting to pick up their children outside of Miami Central High School.
It has been confirmed by Miami-Dade Schools that there was no active shooter and that the incident was actually a hoax that was reported at many schools.
A report of suspicious activity was also made to the Ronald Reagan Senior High School in Doral, which resulted in the school being placed under a lockdown with the code red while the authorities investigated the hoax.
Pembroke Pines police officers were also seen outside of West Broward High School, which is located at 500 NW 209th Ave. after another swatting call was placed there.
The lockdown was lifted after police conducted a search of the school and determined there was no danger there.
Other schools, including Boca Raton, Dillard, and Pompano Beach high schools, also reported incidences of students being swatted.
A swatting was also suspected by the authorities in connection with an incident that took place in September at the McArthur High School in Hollywood.
Cummings stated that activity is not something that takes place in a school environment.
According to statements made to 7News by Miami-Dade Public Schools and Broward Schools, the all-clear has been issued.
There has been yet another report of a swatting call coming from the Flanagan High School in Pembroke Pines.
The call appears to have originated from a location outside of Miami-Dade County, as stated by the police.

The Family Justice Litigation Clinic focuses on domestic violence, family law, and access to justice. Under faculty supervision, students represent litigants who could not otherwise afford a lawyer in D.C. Superior Court and undertake a range of cases in the Family Court including divorce, custody, and adoption, and the Domestic Violence Division including civil protection order cases. Students also serve as mediators in short-term mediations of family law cases and do critical outreach to pro se litigants who are referred by the Court for assistance with service of process. While representing domestic violence litigants, students have an opportunity to gain exposure to criminal practice by collaborating with the U.S. Attorney’s Office in related prosecutions of accused perpetrators of interpersonal violence. In all cases, students are responsible for every phase of litigation, including drafting of initial pleadings, motions, discovery, settlement negotiations, and taking the case to trial. In the weekly classroom component, students study the substantive and procedural law relevant to their cases—including the local domestic violence and family law statutes, criminal law, evidentiary principles, and procedural rules—and focus on client counseling, strategic thinking, ethics, and litigation skills exercises, such as performing direct and cross-examinations, arguing motions, and conducting negotiations.
Students will be selected based on their potential to provide high quality, client-centered legal services to our client population. Faculty will consider students’ interest in and commitment to family law, domestic violence law, and/or a career in litigation. In addition, faculty will consider past experiences in working directly with less advantaged clients and individuals in crisis. Students who have not yet been able to explore these areas should not be deterred from applying.
Every semester, the clinics hold an Open House where faculty are available to answer questions about their respective clinics. Students may also contact Professor Kohn to discuss the clinic or ask specific questions.
- Students are expected to devote an average of 21 hours per week to their clinic work.
- Participation in the clinic requires returning to school before classes begin for a Litigation Training Program.
- Students must be prepared to be as flexible as possible and understand that litigation schedules are driven by judges and clients.
- Once accepted into the clinic, students must be certified by the DC Court of Appeals. Evidence must be taken as a co-requisite or prerequisite. Family Law is recommended.
For more information, please login to the Portal. A complete set of application instructions is posted at least a few weeks prior to the registration period for the following semester.
The Family Justice Litigation Clinic represents clients in a variety of family law and domestic violence matters. The majority of our representation involves domestic violence, child custody, divorce, third party custody, and child support. Clients are represented by third year law students who are certified to practice in DC Superior Court and supervised by attorneys who have practiced for several years in the family law field
We provide services for free and, in return, ask clients to cooperate with the needs of the students in preparing cases and taking them to trial. Clients may be required to bear the cost of court fees. We are permitted by the court to only represent clients who cannot afford a lawyer.
If you are interested in talking with us about a case, please call our Intake Line at 202.994.7463. Before taking on the case, our staff will conduct a brief telephone interview to determine the nature of your legal issue and ask about any filings or hearings that have already taken place. When you call, please have any pending case numbers and significant dates available. After the brief telephone interview, clinic faculty will assess if we have the appropriate staffing to take on your case. You will hear from us shortly after the phone interview.

Download the Mysoft guide to ‘Upgrading to Sage X3 Version 12’ to explore some of the primary reasons that businesses upgrade their Sage X3 environments.

As a consequence, the ERP systems that are implemented into organisations must be adaptable and scalable to the changing needs of the users and operations.
With the continual changes to legislation and compliance requirements imposed it all comes with different pressures. Ensuring that the systems handling tax and compliance are of the utmost importance as well as maintaining levels which will enable businesses to utilise key functionality and configurations to assist with meeting the standards of an ever-changing global economy.
Companies implement ERP solutions for the efficiency gained from single systems covering multiple operational areas, minimising data entry errors or losses. Adopting one area of the system would also mean updating the whole system to have a central streamlined system.
ERP systems which haven’t been kept up to date or have been heavily modified can be challenging to update. An outdated ERP system will lead to a diminishment of efficiency within your business and consequently an increase in costs.
Sage has, over the years, continued to improve processes and methodologies for Sage X3. They have now moved to a bi-annual rolling release for V12 which simplifies the upgrade process and allows customers to stay current while minimising the effects on a business.. For customers on older software versions, a ‘classic’ approach would be required to bring the system up to date then regularly maintained with patching. For customers on later versions of Sage X3 an ‘easy upgrade’ approach can be adopted.
Mysoft are working with a number of customers to configure their Sage X3 systems to accommodate a raft of business changes in light of the European tax framework changes around Brexit, in addition to their global expansions (some predicated by the changes to the UK’s status within Europe).
As a result of customer demand, Mysoft has also commenced offering a variety of management services to assist with staying updated with administrative and maintenance for Sage X3. Through these services Mysoft are able to ensure that our customers get the most value from their Sage X3 system, by making use of new functionality, closing security gaps, and reviewing processes consistently and often.
The ROI for upgrading takes into account micro-improvements to intangibles such as cyber-security risk, improved UI/UX, etc. as well as macro-benefits of tangible process improvements and compliance. Below is a list of key reasons to upgrade and stay updated:
Businesses who don’t keep up to date with their ERP systems not only lose out on efficiency but succumb to the diminishment of static processes in a dynamic world.
If you would like more information regarding updating your ERP system, contact us here or find out more below
With the wettest February on record, life on the streets is even more challenging. Organisations for the homeless in Reading, like Launchpad, aim to get rough sleepers of the streets during periods of below zero temperatures. They provide lifesaving shelter, hot drinks, warm clothes and hearty meals.
A very admirable team of volunteers give their time to provide the homeless with these essential supplies. Mysoft are pleased to be able to give a helping hand to a very worthy cause.
We managed to collect a very impressive mountain of Pot Noodles as well as some additional extras of biscuits, milk and sugar cubes. Everything donated will be making a difference to those who have come across some complications in life and no longer have a stable place to live. The volunteers at Launchpad run drop-in sessions where the warm food and drinks will be handed out to those who need it.
It was great see the whole team involved in contributing to the food collection that will used to support those less fortunate than us and make their lives that little bit easier.
The ‘right time’ will differ from business to business, but there are important points that every organisation should consider when looking to upgrade your ERP system.
The benefits of upgrading your ERP system hugely outweigh having an outdated ERP system. Upgrading your system will allow your business to continue to perform at full capacity, allowing you to efficiently manage daily business activities. The latest versions of ERP software are capable of keeping up with today’s business and technological demands.
The following will explain the risks you might face by not upgrading and the benefits of having an up-to-date ERP system..
By using a legacy ERP system, you might find yourself on an unsupported version of the software. Software developers release new updates and, subsequently, stop supporting older versions.
Remaining unsupported could lead to running issues such as bugs and slow performance which may have a negative impact on your business’s efficiency. Legacy systems were not designed to keep up with today’s fast-paced developments.
Upgrading to a supported ERP system means that any issues that are | [

Snow has begun to fall in central New Jersey, while further south, precipitation is beginning to shift from light rain to sleet and snow. The radar tells a cautionary tale (time sensitive). Radar returns are blossoming south of Route 80, but literally, the highway divides steady snow from an overpowering dry air mass, the result of a southward flexing of the Polar Vortex.
Meanwhile, a break in the precipitation over the Appalachian Mountains suggests that the divided waves of precipitation will result in a lull over the course of the evening, before the main slug of moisture affects New Jersey late tonight and into the morning.
Model trends, now confirmed by radar and satellite, spell a clear story: it’s time to take totals down a notch again for the northern half of the state. Where precipitation is struggling to reach with this first wave, it should not have an easier time during round two around dawn. Further south, snow will still be high-impact, totals will strictly depend on how quickly things change over as the evening progresses.
Expect snow to be winding down in the late morning in northern New Jersey and around noon in New York City, and then later in the afternoon in South Jersey. Compared to where we were just two days ago, this stuff looks ugly.
North of 78 — A coating to 2 inches
South of 78, to Route 1, including NYC — 1-3 inches
Route 1 to I-195 — 2-4 inches
South of I-195 — 5-10 inches
Monday night it will once again be bitterly cold, with clear skies, no wind and fresh snow pack. We will plunge toward zero. Temperatures slowly moderate over the week, and then the next storm dances off the coast Thursday or Friday. Right now it looks warm enough that we can hold our breath for rain.
Weather is humbling for the forecaster. New Jersey is arguably one of the toughest places to forecast on the planet, given its location as the frequent battleground of Arctic and maritime air, and the resultant preferred winter storm track. The atmosphere is fluid and terribly difficult to accurately observe and prognosticate upon. At the end of the day, none of this matters. Meteorologists just need to give the snow total and get it right. I assure you, we are working on doing just that. | [

Hang small things on a metal wall by attaching magnets to them.
+ reduce amount of holes in your wall
+ rearrange, take away or put some more tools on the wall without destroying your wall
+ clear view of your tools
Metallic things like scissors or metal boxes can hang directly on big magnets.
Attach thin magnets to plastic boxes or clothespins with double sided adhesive tape.
Hang non magnetic things on magnets with pins.
Keep in mind, that various devices have a sensitivity to static magnetic fields of permanent magnets (they could be disturb temporarily or be damaged permanently), so keep save distance between those and the magnetic wall. | [

BRA Board Approves Initiatives for Improved Building Accessibility, Greenway Ramps, and Allston Housing at June 19 Meeting
Jun 20, 2014
Article 80 Process to Adopt Accessibility Checklist for Developers
The BRA Board approved the adoption of new Accessibility Guidelines and an Accessibility Checklist for developers undergoing the Article 80 process. The new Guidelines and Checklist will ask developers to consider best practices for making their projects accessible to persons with disabilities, and will incorporate input from the City of Boston Disabilities Commission early on in the Article 80 review process. According to the 2010 Census, over 77,600 residents self-identify as disabled, in addition to an estimated 1.5 million disabled tourists that Boston welcomes.
The new guidelines and checklist will help developers to more thoughtfully integrate accessibility measures into their projects, enabling them to potentially exceed existing American with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Massachusetts Architectural Access Board (AAB) requirements. Representatives of the Disabilities Commission will now attend some of the earliest review meetings with developers in order to make recommendations to improve accessibility before the design has become too difficult to change. All development projects subject to Article 80 small and large project review, including Institutional Master Plan updates, must complete the checklist.
The Accessibility Guidelines and Checklist were modeled after the Article 80 Climate Change Preparedness and Resiliency Guidelines and Checklist, which were adopted in late 2013. Both sets of documents ask developers to review their projects through a framework of best practices.
Greenway Study to Explore Possibilities for Covering Highway Ramps
The BRA Board approved the initiation of the Greenway Ramp Parcel Study, which will examine options for permanently covering open access ramps along the Rose F. Kennedy Greenway. Covering the ramps was a State environmental requirement related to the Big Dig, but it was never stipulated what the covering should include. This study will examine many options, including horizontal, vertical, landscaped, or architectural coverings.
The Study is a joint effort between the community abutting the Greenway, the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) and the BRA, with the BRA providing funding and staff input for the study. The parcels, which are owned by MassDOT, include parcels 6, directly in front of Government Center Garage and the Haymarket MBTA station; 12, in front of the Dock Square Garage; and 18, in front of International Place.
This will be the last major planning initiative related to the Greenway Corridor, which opened in 2008. Project staff plan to consult the past several years of physical and programmatic successes along the Greenway, along with community input, to inform the best options for the ramps.
A public “kickoff” meeting about the study is scheduled for June 26, 2014.
BRA to Solicit Partner Organization to Help Stabilize Allston Housing Stock
The BRA Board gave permission for the BRA, in partnership with City of Boston’s Department of Neighborhood Development (DND) and Harvard University, to solicit Letters of Interest from organizations qualified to promote homeownership opportunities and stabilize the housing stock in North Allston and North Brighton. The Harvard-Allston Task Force, a city-appointed advisory group, and the broader community will also be involved in determining the successful organization from received Letters of Interest.
The selected organization and program will be financed with $3,000,000 from Harvard University, which was committed as a community benefit during the 2013 Harvard Allston Campus Master Plan process. During that planning process, the community identified the stabilization of Allston’s housing stock and promotion of homeownership as a major concern, due to high student renter turnover and the prevalence of absentee landlords in the area.
The Solicitation of Letters of Interest may be reviewed on the BRA website. Letters of Interest must be submitted to the BRA by July 18, 2014. | [

Bananas are naturally slightly radioactive due to the presence of potassium-40, a naturally occurring radioactive isotope. Potassium-40 is the most abundant radioisotope in the human body and is found in trace amounts in all living things, including bananas. The amount of radiation emitted by potassium-40 in a banana is extremely small, amounting to about 0.1 percent of the average daily dose of radiation a person encounters from natural and man-made sources. The radiation emitted by a banana is so small, in fact, that it is not even detectable by any standard radiation detector. Bananas are not the only food that contains potassium-40. Other foods, such as avocados, potatoes, and squash, also contain small amounts of the isotope. Potassium-40 is also found in the environment, in soil, rocks, and water.
The human body absorbs the potassium-40 from these sources and other foods, so it is impossible to avoid exposure to the isotope altogether. The amount of radiation emitted by a banana is so minuscule that it would take more than 3000 bananas in a single sitting to equal the amount of radiation a person is exposed to during a typical chest X-ray. Furthermore, the radiation emitted by a banana is not strong enough to cause any harm to humans. In fact, the radiation emitted by a banana is about a million times weaker than the radiation emitted by a medical X-ray. The small amount of radiation emitted by a banana is not something to worry about. In fact, the radiation emitted by a banana is so small that it is not even detectable. Moreover, the radiation emitted by bananas is not strong enough to cause any harm to humans. Eating bananas is still a healthy option, as they are rich in many essential vitamins and minerals. So, while bananas may be slightly radioactive, they still remain a safe and healthy snack. | [

KUWK: Is Alexis Skyy Using Rob Kardashian For Clout Or Does She Really Like Him?
Is Alexis Skyy seeing Rob Kardashian for clout or does she truly, genuinely like him? Fans of the KUWK star have been wondering these things and need answers.
People care about Rob’s wellbeing since he’s been through a lot and they do not want to see him hurt once again.
As a result, some have been slamming the Love and Hip Hop star, accusing her of dating the only Kardashian son to increase her fame and status.
However, one source tells HollywoodLife that she is not interested in such things.
‘Alexis and Rob have been seeing each other for a little while, it’s not as new as everyone thinks, and she really likes him. Alexis isn’t using Rob for fame, not at all She’s a very sweet girl, she’s ambitious, but not at the expense of the people in her life. Her daughter is the center of her world, and that’s something she and Rob bonded over right away because he’s the same way about his little girl,’ the insider dished.
Alexis and Fetty Wap were together for a few years, and they share a baby girl named Alaiya together.
Since the child was born prematurely at just 23 weeks last year in January, she’s put her love life on the back burner and focused on carrying for her daughter.
That being said, because Rob is a very loving father himself, he really admires Alexis’ devotion towards Alaiya.
The source added that ‘Alexis and Fetty Wap are not together now. She’s not angry with him, but after everything she went through with him, the main thing she’s looking for in a man is someone she can rely on, someone committed to her. If Rob treats her right he has a shot with her. She’s a sweetheart, so hopefully, he won’t mess this up.’ | [

Architectural wire mesh what are the advantages
Architectural wire mesh advantages and development condition in the construction industry Architectural wire mesh at home and abroad is more and more extensive application in the engineering practice.General construction industry in our country adopted for building the mesh technology.Building industry in the age of rapid development, technological change over time, unexpected, directly or indirectly, in the construction of project high price rising, so the time limit for a project construction unit by party b is hard to squeeze, the absence of technology has made a kind of new technique construction mesh.New technology, new material and new specification change quickly.Construction wire mesh is used in reinforced concrete structure to replace the traditional manual binding reinforcement technology, its characteristic is that the industrialized production, quality assurance, construction is convenient, save work time, shorten the construction period.Architectural mesh Used in transportation, highway, highway concrete pavement and bridge deck pavement layer of soft ground, ground surface crack, toll plaza concrete piers, railway station, station square and cargo concrete ground, airport runway, freight yard and wide field concrete ground, tunnel lining, terminals, ports, etc.;Architectural mesh used in municipal construction: elevated overpass surface pavement, square concrete ground, coagulation TuGuan, fence, slope protection, etc.;Hydraulic power coal, water conservancy facilities, electric power dam foundation, fence, etc.;Architectural mesh to use in other aspects: flood control facilities collapse and slope reinforcement and protection, husbandry, animal husbandry, etc.Type: stainless steel wire mesh, black wire piece, galvanized wire, plastic coated mesh, mesh belt box.Material: low carbon steel wire, electric galvanized wire, electric galvanized wire drawing.
USES: used in coal mine, tunnel, bridge construction, roadbed net steel, construction sites.Architectural wire mesh used in construction industry as shule plate nets and partition their nets, is the ideal of top new building materials.Has also been widely used in exhibitions, rack, etc.Architectural mesh in the construction industry has great competitive advantages are mainly classified into the following:1, construction mesh material saving.Because construction mesh has high strength, compared with the general level of steel in the engineering application can save nearly 30% of the steel.This in today’s energy shortage is particularly important.2, construction mesh construction is convenient, quality assurance.Steel bar welded mesh is according to the design drawings in the factory production, pavement construction at the scene.Compared with the traditional artificial binding site, therefore, not only ensure the engineering quality, and speed up the construction progress to shorten the time limit for a project.3, construction mesh support related industry standards.Steel bar welded mesh production construction are strict with the technical specification for concrete structures of steel bar welded mesh as the basis for production, which ensure the quality of welded wire mesh production.Editor of this discipline is jianke institute, the ministry of construction approved.Scientific research department of technology demonstration is an important premise of welded mesh.4, many wire mesh manufacturer’s efforts and the vast majority of engineering and technical personnel is building construction of the concept of innovation network promote the use of the most direct power.5, installation can be cut down a lot of steel, to prevent the cracks of concrete and development, reduce the concrete surface cracking, the welding net mesh size is very neat, good elasticity, pouring concrete reinforcing steel bar is not easy to local bending, deformation and sliding phenomenon, can decrease the reinforcement engineering cost about 10%.In building the net film due to shrinkage of cement mortar with high intensity, large, flexible deformation is not enough, direct effect on the outside of the insulation layer, the weather is bad, and cause cracking.
To solve this problem, must use dedicated anti-crack mortar and complemented by reasonable enhancement of the net – in cement anti-crack mortar with steel wire mesh, wire mesh should be used in anti-corrosion good 12.7 x 12.7 x 12.7 mm galvanized steel wire, welded wire mesh.Galvanized steel wire net 80 ㎜ long bolts into quincuncial piles type (distance between 50 ㎝) rivet into the wall, and then welded wire mesh for a permeability anti-crack mortar, doing brick construction finally. | [

‘The darkest Nazi secret… is about to be revealed!’
Panzer Chocolate – aka Panzer – is a 2013 Spanish horror film directed by Robert Figueras from a screenplay co-written with Gemma Dunjo and Pep Garrido. It was shot in English and is designed to be interactive by using the sound to trigger a mobile phone application.
Melina Matthews (Mama), Geraldine Chaplin (A Monster Calls; BloodRayne), Ariadna Cabrol, Tony Corvillo (Sleep Tight), Mark Schardan, Josep Seguí, Richard Felix (The Possession of Amy Evans), Luka Peros, Asha Mendel Brookes, Iria Esteller, Berta Sola.
When an archaeology student and her friends discover a Nazi bunker called ‘Valhalla’, their search for stolen pieces of art becomes a nightmare. The place is guarded by a hideous beast, and they find themselves running for their lives…
” …when the guardian shows up and starts chasing everybody, Panzer Chocolate switches things up a bit, becoming a standard slasher flick with a few creepy moments. Even these scenes have their charms (one kill is particularly gory), but, unfortunately, the big reveal at the end is a major letdown.” Doctor Shock, Horror Movie Podcast | [

Being that I speed-optimize WordPress sites for hundreds of clients each month, it's my organisation to understand which image compression genuinely is the finest. Better compression rates, offers WebP format, offers GLOSSY format (high quality compression for photographers), excellent rates. This is my default go-to if you require major compression.
If anything, sometimes even sharper than the original. Get WP Compress Super awesome free service. Can do unrestricted images however your readily available quota starts small and increases slowly with each (batch) optimization demand. Extraordinary option to enhance lots of images free of charge. Get LiteSpeed Cache plugin Another high-end image plugin that was previously the very first location.
Some compression settings might be much better than ShortPixel. Really simple to utilize. From the developers of the highly-acclaimed WP Rocket cache plugin. I'm starting to dislike it. Several customer websites running slow with it on! 8/24/18 EWWW, WP Smush, Kraken, etc. they are not as good IMO. You get uglier images with artifacts and/or the image size is not as small.
Some are likewise bloated. With that stated, some clients really like them! EWWW leaves settings/items in your database when you set up.
Compressing your images can not only help you conserve bandwidth, however likewise increase page load speeds and thereby benefit your from the SEO point of view. This is due to the fact that Google and other search engines think about Page load speeds a vital element when it pertains to ranking websites. Manually compressing images for wordpress can be a bit challenging as wordpress auto-generates cropped/resized variations of the original image upon upload.
So even if your initial image was enhanced you will still need to re-optimize all these new sizes (unless you are just going to be using the initial image) which can be a little a work. You can fix this concern by utilizing a WordPress image compression plugin that compresses all auto-generated image sizes along with the original image.
These are, TinyPNG, WP Smush and EWWW Image optimizer. Out of these three, EWWW Image optimizer compresses images right within your server, whereas the other two transfer your image to their own server and after that move the optimized image back overwriting the initial image. In this post, let's take a closer take a look at each of these plugins, their advantages and disadvantages and after that figure out which plugin is the best when it concerns compressing images (JPEG and PNG) to the max while maintaining the image quality.
The terms Image Optimization and Image Compression have been used interchangeably in this post. To keep it simple, lossy compression is a kind of compression where the image is compressed with some loss of quality. The loss of quality can be kept to a minimum so it is not easily visible.
As the name recommends, in lossless compression the image is compressed while maintaining the initial quality of the image. While the quality of the image is maintained the compression in this case will not be optimum. Now that we have acquainted ourselves with these terms, let's take a look at these three plugins in additional detail: First in line is TinyPNG which is an outstanding plugin for compressing PNG and JPEG images.
The compressed image is then sent out back to your server where it overwrites the initial files with the new compressed version. This service is 100% totally free for compressing as much as 500 images monthly. To compress more than 500 images in a month you will need to sign-up for a professional account.
For more details visit this link: https://tinypng.com/developers!.?.!Let's see how this plugin compresses, JPEG and PNG images. To compress PNG images, TinyPNG utilizes the open source tool which is an exceptional lossy compression software application that works by transforming 24-bit PNG image submits to much smaller 8-bit indexed color files. This of-course methods there will be loss in quality, however it would be very minimal, almost unnoticeable. Uncertain which encoder they use for this function, however I believe.
it is JPEGTran, mozjpeg and/or JPEGOptim (best jpeg compression). When you have installed and activated the plugin, go to Settings > Media and select the file sizes that you desire the plugin to compress. For instance, if you are only going to utilize the Original image and the thumbnail image, then un-check all other sizes. This indicates, if you have 10 different image sizes per image, you will reach your month-to-month use of 500 images once you have compressed 50 images (50 images x 10 sizes ). Images are compressed automatically as you upload them and as of now there is no alternative to alter this which is a little a drawback. You can bulk compress older images that have currently been submitted | [

HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS... MAYBE NOT
By Nancy Marano
I don't know what your household is like during the holidays, but at my house "holiday" is just another word for stress. People rush around doing strange things. Wrapping paper, ribbon and tree ornaments litter empty tables. In a word, everything's a mess. If you get stressed with all the activity and noise in your household, just think how your cat feels.
Last Christmas our stress level hit new heights. I heard Sammy, our adventurous feline, meowing in octaves I didn't know existed. These meows actually bordered on shrieks. I rushed into the living room, afraid of what I'd find. Our dog, Maggie May, ran in circles barking while Rocky, our other cat, paced in front of the Christmas tree.
Sam and the cat-eating tree.
There was so much commotion it took me a while to see the cause of the problem. Sammy had climbed from branch to branch up the center of our artificial tree. In the process his plumy, white tail became entangled in the wire stems that secure the branches into the tree. The more he fought to get free, the tighter the tree held him. All I could see were two terrified eyes and bared teeth. I removed several branches—ornaments, lights and all. Finally I could reach in, wearing a stylish pair of oven mitts for safety, and extricate him from the tree's clutches. He shot out of my hands and spent the next several hours under the couch trying to recover his confidence.
Luckily he wasn't hurt physically, although his pride suffered a severe trauma. This is just one graphic example of why pets and holidays aren't always a good combination.
Many people are tempted to get a kitten or adult cat during the holidays as a gift for their children. Don't succumb to that temptation. Holidays are the worst time to bring a new animal into your home. A kitten is cute and fluffy, but it takes a lot of time and attention to acclimate her to her new home and your lifestyle.
You're distracted with the bustle of the season and so are your children. There are parties to attend and new toys to enjoy. But a cat isn't a toy. She's a living being that you can't toss on the table when you're tired of her.
A captive Christmas ornament.
Bringing a new cat into your home is a decision that your family needs to make together. There are, however, some easy and fun ways to prepare your children for their new friend.
1. Plan a family outing to select all the equipment your cat will need. Remember to get a litter box, bowls, food, a bed, a scratching post, and a few toys.
2. Talk about why it's important to take the cat to the veterinarian at least once a year for a checkup. It's just as important as children seeing the doctor before school starts.
3. Explain why it is necessary to spay or neuter the new cat. Spaying or neutering provides health benefits for the cat and helps stop pet overpopulation.
4. Discuss the reasons for having an indoor-only cat. A cat's life expectancy goes from 2-3 years to 15+ years simply by keeping her inside. She won't be exposed to other cats' diseases or run the risk of being hit by a car.
5. Make sure children know a cat needs an identification tag on her collar, a microchip or both. If your cat does slip out the door accidentally, it will be much easier to find if she has some identification. If the cat is picked up and turned in at a shelter, workers there will be able to notify you.
6. Demonstrate the proper way to hold and stroke a cat. A child needs to understand a cat shouldn't be squeezed, poked or thrown.
7. Help your family understand that a cat, or any animal you bring into your home, is a commitment that lasts for the life of the animal. A companion animal is not something to be thrown away if she becomes inconvenient or no longer fits in with your furnishings. She will be a part of your family for the next 12-15 years.
If getting a cat is on your Christmas list, why not wrap up a gift certificate for your local shelter instead? Your gift can be picked out after the holidays when life in your home is back to normal. The right timing gives the relationship between you and your new cat the best chance of success.

Type of gas
Cars today run on different types of fuel. Modern trends in alternative drives must also be reflected in the equipment of car parks and underground garages. A considerable number of people move in the underground garages, and at the same time, cars create toxic fumes. So there is a need to protect people from the danger of poisoning. | [

We found this guy on our Serrano pepper plant a couple months ago, then he disappeared (thought he might have been a spicy treat for a bird), but yesterday we found him and a friend on our adjacent Jalapeno and Anaheim plants. They are 5-6” long. Interested to see what they become. Love your site. Thank you.

Your caterpillar is a Tobacco Hornworm, Manduca sexta, also known as the Carolina Sphinx. These caterpillars are most frequently found feeding on the leaves of tomato plants, but they will also feed on related plants in the nightshade family including pepper. The individual you found several months ago may have gone underground and metamorphosed and we feel the current caterpillars are different individuals. | [

Thursday's weekly jobless claims report from the Labor Department will provide the clearest evidence yet of the devastating impact of the coronavirus on the economy, forcing the Federal Reserve to take extraordinary measures and prepare the United States Congress to Gather a record $ 2 trillion stimulus packages.
Economists say the economy is already in recession and the unemployment claims report would offer proof of this.
Weekly claims figures are the most timely indicator of the labor market. Thursday's report will draw attention to both Wall Street and Main Street after the Trump administration requested that states stop giving daily snapshots of jobless claims.
According to a Reuters poll of economists, initial claims for state unemployment benefits likely rose to a seasonally adjusted million for the week ending March 21, which would far overshadow the previous record of 695,000 set in 1982. Estimates in the The survey was as high as 4 million, which would dwarf the 281,000 requests received during the week ending March 14.
"Containment efforts in response to the coronavirus resulted in a very sudden and dramatic change in just a few days," said Stephen Gallagher, chief US economist at Societe Generale in New York. "The layoffs were part of that change, and the applicants appear to have flooded state unemployment insurance offices in a very short period of time."
(FIGURE: Unemployment Benefits Increase – here)
There were reports from many states that their job websites collapsed due to heavy traffic.
Governors in at least 18 states, representing nearly half of the country's population, have ordered residents to stay primarily in the interior. "Non-essential" companies have also been ordered closed. According to economists, a fifth of the workforce is under some form of blockade.
Collecting raw data from state economists, industry groups, and their own models show an unprecedented leap across states.
Morgan Stanley forecasts unadjusted claims for California, one of the harshest regions for the coronavirus-caused respiratory illness called COVID-19, which skyrocketed to 550,000. California Governor Gavin Newsom said earlier this week that new claims for unemployment benefits were running at an average of 106,000 per day last week.
According to Morgan Stanley estimates, claims from New York, now at the center of the outbreak, are projected to have increased by 210,000. Applications in Washington state are expected to have increased by approximately 100,000.
With state employment websites overwhelmed, economists say some of the applications that were supposed to be filed during the week ending March 14 were delayed to last week, which could also explain the anticipated rise in claims..
"Additionally, reports from some states also suggest that the claims-making process has been changed in part to a pen-and-paper approach, which may also delay the filing process," said Jan Kozak, economist at Morgan Stanley in New York. "This means that some of the 3.4 million claims we estimate could have been extended this week as well."
Last week's claims data will likely have no impact on the March employment report, as it is outside the period during which the government surveyed employers for non-farm payrolls, which was the week through 14 of March. However, economists say the rush for benefits in that week of the survey suggests that payrolls declined this month, ending with almost 9 and a half years of job growth.
"Jobs will decrease in March," said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics in West Chester, Pennsylvania. “There are numerous reports of laid off workers who cannot apply for unemployment insurance because many people are trying to do it at the same time. Millions of jobs are likely to be lost in the coming weeks. "

Chris Benson decided not to bring along his funeral tunes after leaving home with his kilt.
Benson, one of several musicians along Crystal Run Healthcare Classic course, correctly assumed runners at the three-mile mark would want a different bagpipe melody.
“I had to watch peoples’ steps,” Benson said. “Everybody has a different stride. Some people have a fast stride; some people have a slow stride. So you play slower songs or get them to speed up a little bit.”
Benson played several patriotic sets, such as “Yankee Doodle” and “Grand Old Flag.” Upon completion, he could not feel his lips.
Kathleen Davis, who organized the music for the road races on Sunday in Middletown, spread musicians throughout.
They included a boy band, a jazz band and a rock band. Per tradition, the Middletown High School marching band followed the final 5K finisher along the school’s track.
But bagpipes blasted at The Classic for the first time in about 20 years, said race director Frank Giannino.
Benson first picked up the pipes seven years ago so a difficult instrument could keep him close with his brother.
“He can pick up any instrument and play it in an hour -- violin, piano -- it doesn’t matter what it is,” Benson said. “He was looking for something that was challenging.”
Benson plans to make bagpipes part of Classic tradition again, hoping he and/or his brother can keep playing.
Finisher total down
The 10K began with a clear, 55-degree day. But not quite as many runners got to enjoy it as last year.
The 5K and 10K totaled 1,035 finishers, which dips slightly from last year’s 1,054 mark. But Giannino backed up his optimism with concrete plans to grow the race.
The finisher total does not include runners from Saturday’s inaugural Classic Mile. He also plans to increase the program’s community connection with an ambassadorship program.
And this race ran swimmingly, Giannino said.
“There haven’t been any major complaints. Usually I get a lot of them,” Giannino said of how it compared to other races since the Classic began in 2006 as an offshoot of the Orange Classic. “As far as how this race compared to the last nine, I’d have to say this was the smoothest one we’ve had.”
A family affair
Runner Thomas Letizia planned to let his friend watch his nearly 3-year-old son during the 5K. But working the water stand kept his friend busy, and his son got cranky.
So Letizia brought Thomas Joseph with him.
Thomas Joseph appeared calm when he crossed the finish line in a stroller. The Letizia family finished 190th overall in 29:47.
“About five minutes time difference,” Letizia said of how his son affected his time. “But it’s worth it. My son gets to see Middletown and be involved.”
This was the first, but not last, race Letizia will run pushing his son.
“I (knew I) could do it,” he said. “You already have that mental state before you start the race.”
A friendly competition
John Monchak, 64, didn’t run until late in life. But his burst of speed toward the finish line looked like one of the fastest runners in the race.
He and Susan Plocharcyzk hold a friendly competition, and he couldn’t let her win. So Monchak zigzagged through a few runners like he was late for a flight.
Monchak recorded a 55:27 clocking in the 10K before Plocharcyzk followed a second later.
“I kept looking back and said, ‘I’m not going to let her get me,’ ” said Monchak, who began running in 1998.
The 40-year-old Plocharcyzk started running two years ago. Now her competition with Monchak stands relatively even.
She anticipates pulling away soon.
“This is the first year I was good enough to beat him,” Plocharcyzk said. “… I ran this two years ago in an hour and six minutes. And now I’m down to 55 minutes.”
Shorter goes longer
Frank Shorter, the 1972 Olympic marathon gold medalist who grew up in Middletown, listens to his body on race morning in deciding whether to run the 5K or 10K.
It told him to run the 10K.
The 67-year-old clocked 1:01:53, a 9:58 mile pace.
“I ran even-paced actually and probably finished the second half quicker than the first,” Shorter said. “Actually I thought I was | [

The 49ers are officially without their starting left tackle for Monday Night Football against the Vikings. Trent Williams was one of the seven players listed as inactive for the contest.
Williams was originally listed as doubtful on the injury report because of an ankle injury he suffered in Week 6. He wasn’t expected to play, but his placement among the inactives confirms he won’t participate.
Here’s who won’t suit up for San Francisco:
Samuel was ruled out because of a hairline fracture in his shoulder. That injury was also sustained in Week 6 at Cleveland. He’s expected to miss Week 8 as well.
Not listed is running back Christian McCaffrey. He was questionable with an oblique injury. The expectation was that he’d play, but now he is officially suiting up. | [

Introduction to Cataract Surgical Sets
Cataract surgery is a delicate procedure requiring precision and reliability. A cataract set is a collection of specialized instruments designed to assist ophthalmologists in performing this intricate operation. These sets are tailored to support various stages of the surgical process, from incision to lens replacement.
Components and Applications
Each cataract set comprises an array of tools such as keratomes for incisions, phaco choppers for lens fragmentation, and intraocular lens implant forceps. These instruments are crafted to aid in different types of cataract procedures, ensuring adaptability to the surgeon's technique and patient's condition.
Material and Sterilization

Wendy’s introduced its new ‘Ultra-Modern’ building design in 2012. This project is one of the first to be constructed in the nation reflecting the new corporate image. The building exterior façade introduces more visual transparency into customer dining areas. Dominant horizontal and vertical shapes and forms with bold colors and contrasting materials are a substantial change from Wendy’s more traditional building designs.
The design was modified to comply with the City Planning Department’s design guidelines. Design elements affected included, canopies over entry doors, required transparency along each building side, pedestrian pathway to public streets, as well as variation of materials and finishes. | [

Is there a starker contrast than that between the upbeat message of hope and pride in America’s past, present, and future delivered by President Trump in the recent State of the Union, and the constant drumbeat of crisis, “chaos,” outrage, and bigotry portrayed by the mainstream media? Truly, it seems that Americans on the left and on the right now occupy “alternate realities,” and those of us on the right can only pity the Left their self-induced (but media-abetted) culture of doom, aggrievement, and vilification.
Consider the vast catalog of American achievements proffered by the president in the State of the Union: from rock-bottom unemployment figures, to inspirational historical triumphs like the defeat of fascism in World War II and the moon landings; from record-setting reductions in government regulation, to the removal of hundreds of thousands of criminal illegal aliens from American streets; from a new determination to reject trade manipulation and intellectual property theft by countries like China, to the rejuvenation of the American manufacturing sector; from the obliteration of ISIS, to the fragile new detente with North Korea; from the increased representation of women and minorities in almost every walk of life, to the abolition of the dreaded “Obamacare mandate” and falling prescription drug costs.
And there are innumerable other signs of hope and renewed American strength that the President failed to mention: reductions in pollution and carbon emissions; a long-term decline in rates of violent crime; falling numbers of abortions; greater life expectancy and improved health outcomes, especially for seniors; an information revolution of unprecedented scope; and much more. There are, in fact, far too many American success stories to list here.
As President Trump declared, in America, “We do the incredible. We defy the impossible. We conquer the unknown.” And, for this reason, “Our biggest victories are still to come.” No wonder those who tuned in to watch President Trump’s masterful speech were overwhelmingly impressed and reassured.
Compare this narrative of past achievement and endless possibilities for the future with the dark, self-pitying narrative favored by the mainstream media, imbibed as it is in vast, profoundly unhealthy quantities by liberal Americans. In this alternate reality, Trump is the greatest tyrant of all time (never mind that the worst thing he’s done to most of his critics is to lower their taxes). The planet will be soon be unlivable. America’s alliances are “crumbling.” All members of the Trump family are ghoulish marionettes operated by Russian handlers. Racism and sexism are rampant (forget that they have never been less commonplace, except on the PC fringe where hatred of white males is becoming mainstreamed). Wealth is hoarded by greedy capitalists, while ordinary Americans sink into poverty and desperation (in fact, modern-day Americans suffer more from material—and dietary—abundance than they do from want and hunger). Sexually aggressive men, needless to say, besiege womankind, necessitating a new, more abbreviated standard of justice: “If she says it, then it must be true.” Children are in “cages,” and polar bears are but skin and bones. Little wonder that, in this world of hurt, many liberals believe that their only solace lies in smoking (recently legalized!) marijuana and watching Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert crack jokes as Rome burns.
Lest anyone imagine that this portrait of leftist paranoia is overdrawn, consider the facts: As of July 2018, the gap between Republicans and Democrats who were “extremely proud” to be Americans had widened to an unprecedented chasm of 42 points (74 percent versus 32 percent). In a recent Economist/YouGov poll, only six percent of Democrats viewed America as “generally headed in the right direction.” Six percent!!!
This rabid pessimism, undergirded by Trump Derangement Syndrome, is fostered by equally unprecedented levels of media bias. A study by Harvard’s Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics, and Public Policy found that, even in the “honeymoon” period of Trump’s first 100 days in office, he received unheard-of levels of negative attention from major news outlets, and made history in the sense that coverage of his administration was negative in all policy areas. The study found that CNN, NBC, and CBS covered President Trump negatively more than 90 percent of the time. Liberals’ severe anxiety can hardly come as a surprise, therefore, given this maniacal Trump-hatred in newsrooms, and considering that Trump dominates news coverage as a whole (one study showed that he receives three times as much airtime as President Obama did). According to the Media Research Center, by 2018 the three major networks were covering Trump even less charitably than before: now 92 percent of their coverage was negative. They accomplished this feat partly by droning on about Trump | [

On Earth, strange things, including frogs and fish,sometimes fall from the sky, but on a distant extrasolar planet, the weathercould be even weirder: When a front moves in, small rocks rain down on thesurface, a new study suggests.
The exoplanet,COROT-7b, was discovered in February by the COROT space telescope launched bythe French and European space agencies. Last month it became the first planetoutside our solar system to be confirmedas a rocky body? most other known exoplanets are gas giants.
The planet is nearly twice the size of Earth and about fivetimes the mass of our world. Calculations have indicated it has a density aboutthat of Earth's, which means it is likely made up of silicate rocks, just asEarth's crust is.
The planet is likely much less hospitable to life though, asit is only about 1.6 million miles (2.6 million km) away from its parent star?23 times closer than Mercury sits to the sun.
Locked and scorching
Because the planet is so close to the star, it is gravitationallylocked to it in the same way the Moon is locked to Earth. One side of theplanet always faces its star, just as one side of the Moon always faces Earth.
This star-facing side has a temperature of about 4,220degrees Fahrenheit (2,326 degrees Celsius)? hot enough to vaporize rock.
So unlike the much cooler Earth, COROT-7b has no volatilegases (carbon dioxide, water vapor, nitrogen) in its atmosphere. Instead itsatmosphere consists of what might be called vaporized rock.
"The only atmosphere this object has is produced fromvapor arising from hot molten silicates in a lava lake or lava ocean," saidBruce Fegley Jr., of Washington University in St. Louis.
Rocky weather forecast
To find out what COROT-7b's atmosphere might be like, Fegleyand his colleagues modeled it. They found that COROT-7b's atmosphere is made upof the ingredients of rocks and when "a front moves in," pebblescondense out of the air and rain into lakes of molten lava below.
"Sodium, potassium, silicon monoxide and then oxygen?either atomic or molecular oxygen? make up most of the atmosphere,"Fegley said. But there are also smaller amounts of the other elements found insilicate rock, such as magnesium, aluminum, calcium and iron.
The rock rains form similarly to Earth'swatery weather: "As you go higher the atmosphere gets cooler andeventually you get saturated with different types of 'rock' the way you getsaturated with water in the atmosphere of Earth," Fegley explained."But instead of a water cloud forming and then raining water droplets, youget a 'rock cloud' forming and it starts raining out little pebbles ofdifferent types of rock."
Menagerie of minerals
The exoplanet's atmosphere condenses out minerals such asenstatite, corundum, spinel, and wollastonite.
Elemental sodium and potassium, which have very low boilingpoints in comparison with rocks, do not rain out but would instead stay in theatmosphere, where they would form high gas clouds buffeted by the stellar windfrom COROT-7.
These large clouds may be detectable by Earth-basedtelescopes. The sodium, for example, should glow in the orange part of thespectrum, like a giant but very faint sodium vapor streetlamp.
Observers have recently spotted sodium in the atmospheres oftwo other exoplanets.
The new modeling finding is detailed in the Oct. 1 issue ofThe Astrophysical Journal.

|This is the quilt I made for my Dad. I planned it to match his living room.|
Since I finished these two a few weeks ago, I haven't really done a lot. I have still been busy with the start of school, Open House, and just getting back in the swing of things.
This weekend, I decided to start something new. I bought the Chopsticks pattern a while back as well as the fabric to make it. I chose to use Fresh Flowers by Deb Strain. My LQS also had some fabric that coordinated well with it from one of her earlier lines (the yellow).
I just finished sewing up two of the blocks. Here is what they look like so far: | [

Astronomers have discovered an Earth-sized planet outside our solar system which is expected to be temperate and could be a “comfortable abode for possible life”.This Earth-sized world, named Ross 128 b, is likely to have a surface temperature that may also be close to that of the Earth, according to a paper presented in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics.
The low-mass exoplanet orbits the red dwarf star Ross 128 every 9.9 days. The star is currently located at a distance of 11 light-years from Earth.
Many red dwarf stars, including Proxima Centauri, are subject to flares that occasionally bathe their orbiting planets in deadly ultraviolet and X-ray radiation.
However, it seems that Ross 128 is a much quieter star, and so its planets may be the closest known comfortable abode for possible life, the study said.
The team found that Ross 128 b orbits 20 times closer than the Earth orbits the Sun.
Despite this proximity, Ross 128 b receives only 1.38 times more irradiation than the Earth.
As a result, Ross 128 b’s equilibrium temperature is estimated to lie between minus 60 degrees Celsius and 20 degrees Celsius, thanks to the cool and faint nature of its small red dwarf host star, which has just over half the surface temperature of the Sun, the researchers said.
The discovery was made by a team working with European Southern Observatory, or ESO’s High Accuracy Radial velocity Planet Searcher (HARPS) at the La Silla Observatory in Chile.
“This discovery is based on more than a decade of HARPS intensive monitoring together with state-of-the-art data reduction and analysis techniques,” explained study co-author Nicola Astudillo-Defru from Geneva Observatory – University of Geneva, Switzerland.
Although it is currently 11 light-years from Earth, Ross 128 is moving towards us and is expected to become our nearest stellar neighbour in just 79 000 years—a blink of the eye in cosmic terms.
Ross 128 b will by then take the crown from Proxima b and become the closest exoplanet to Earth, the reseachers said.
Red dwarfs are some of the coolest, faintest—and most common—stars in the Universe.
This makes them very good targets in the search for exoplanets and so they are increasingly being studied.

Each of the last fifteen years or so I have spent some time on Monhegan Island, ME. Our first two days here this summer have been sparkling, clear, dry, exquisite. This is the view from our deck looking North. We are up high enough to see the sunset over the mainland, twelve miles distant.... heaven on earth.
I began this painting by blocking in the darks, and arranging the picture space with an ultramarine wash. Then I used alizarin crimson to wash in the shadow areas and cadmium orange for the lights. You can see the painting in several stages here.
I concentrated on simplifying the brush strokes and cutting into the darks with the lights, then minimizing the details in the distance.
This month's theme for Girls Just Wanna Paint is "bliss". This painting is my take on the idea because Monhegan is pure bliss for me. You can see all our blissful paintings here.
As always, thank you for looking. I love your comments.

Gas Prices: Who’s to Blame? – Roger Ingalls
Often, filling stations take the heat for high gas prices but, in reality, your local pit stop doesn’t make much money from the fuel they sell. They make pennies per gallon. Most of their revenue comes from junk food sold out of the attached convenient store. Yes, stations do raise prices minutes after crude oil goes up and then lower the price weeks after oil decreases so they do take a little advantage but that has always been the case. Gas stations are not to blame for the current high price of fuel.
Are oil producing companies or middle-east countries to blame for high gas prices? For the most part, they run their output and let the market dictate the prices. They may vary production levels a little but it hasn’t been a market-driver since the 1970s. Oil suppliers are not to blame.
How about oil refineries, are they the evil ones? Back in 2008, oil peaked at $147 a barrel and gas prices rose to about $4.30 a gallon. Now, in early 2012, gas prices are again hitting the $4.30 range but oil is trading at approximately $105 a barrel. Something seems fishy. Oil is 30% less now than in 2008 but current gas prices are the same. Also, we now use 17% less gas than we did in 2008; it doesn’t add up. Demand is down, crude oil prices are lower but fuel prices are higher!
US oil refineries are to blame for the current increase in gas prices. They created an artificial shortage by reducing their refining capacity to 85% of what it was in 2008. The refineries say they had to close down some refineries because the crude oil quality has made some of their production capacity obsolete. It is unbelievable that companies making record billions in profits cannot keep up with the required technology in their own industry. I believe this excuse is a flat-out market manipulating lie. These big companies are not that stupid; they know what kind of oil they’re getting years in advance.
When gas hits $8 per gallon in a year or two, you can blame deregulating legislation that now allows reckless speculation (futures trading of oil) and the elimination of alternative energy programs by Ronald Reagan in the 1980s. However, the current high price of gas falls squarely on shoulders of US oil refineries. | [

Sadie on Angels...
Naturally Saint Michael is her favorite.
She could tell the story herself, and after having repeated sixty or so times, the words have begun to fit a familiar pattern and if I pause she'll go on, filling in the blanks. Or we'll be doing something else and suddenly she'll be very serious and say something like: "I'm not pure spirit because I have a body. I have bones. I like my bones."
The other day, however, a serious expression crossed her little face as she sat and pondered and began to worry. Then out came the question:
"Mommy, I hope that the bad angels don't get Christian to be naughty."
Apparently all the talk of a new brother arriving had made her think of her little brother who is a saint in heaven and she'd begun to worry about the goings on in heaven and about how safe he was there.
So then I reminded her again how the story had ended, with those who had turned against God being cast out of heaven and her smile returned as she nodded and hugged me and went back to playing.
Life seems like a giant puzzle at the moment and she constantly surprises me both with her insights and worries as we read stories and she puts the pieces together and peppers me with questions that I sometimes struggle to answer.
It's certainly extra motivation to keep learning so that I can keep up (hopefully) with my sweet girl! | [

Black holes are the most enigmatic and exotic objects in the universe. They’re also the most powerful, with gravity so strong it can trap light. And they are destructive, swallowing entire planets, even giant stars. Now, astrophysicists are realizing that black holes may be essential to how our universe evolved—their influence possibly leading to life on Earth and, ultimately, humans.

87 Franklin Street
New York, NY
A duo exhibition by Klaus von Nichtssagend Gallery will pair works by Tamara Gonzales and Kemar Keanu Wynter. Gonzales’s amalgams of patterned motifs are frequently inspired by thrifted textiles that she collects from around the world, particularly lace, which she uses as a distinctive stencil for spray paint. Other pieces emerge from her own generative mark-making and visionary collaborations with the Shipibo people of Peru. Wynter’s dynamic color fields of oil-pastel pigment are also expressions of everyday life, nourished by his years of cooking and eating with family and friends. Each painting pays homage to a particular meal, a practice the Jamaican-American artist describes as “a form of archiving—both of my family’s recipes and the stories attached to them.”
About the Gallery
Klaus von Nichtssagend Gallery is a contemporary art gallery located in New York City’s Tribeca neighborhood. The gallery was founded in Brooklyn in 2004 as an artist-run project space. Today, “Klaus” has built upon its foundation of emerging artists, expanding its roster and footprint, while continuing to represent many of those from its early days. The founders maintain their ethos of presenting work in a context that is artist-oriented and artist-directed. We support each artist in their endeavors to expand their careers, and aspire to create conversations and community.

The Cambridge Rocket Club hosted it’s fifth and biggest launch of the season (so far) on July 9, 2022. The weather was warm with blue skies and moderate winds. The turn-out was excellent featuring 24 different model rocketeers launching their rockets. We also renewed two club memberships as well as welcoming aboard 4 new members to the club. Attendance was likely motivated by the model rocket give-away. We ended up having a total of 29 donated model rockets including 2 air powered rockets that were snapped up by a young guest. We had so many donations that all of the young participants took home 2 model rockets. Many of the raffle winners joined in the fun by flying their rockets with engines provided for by the club. It was great to see the enthusiasm the give-away generated.
The theme of the day was Scale and we saw many scale models flown including V-2’s, Black Brants, Saturn V’s, 1 and 1B as well as many others. We also saw a number of multi-stage rockets and a rocket glider flown as well as a full gambit of engines from 1/4A to G motors. By the end of the day, we launched a total of 88 model rockets and burned 96 model rocket engines with a theoretical total impulse of 2,138 neutons. Good time was had by all, especially our guests. | [

She then introduced the first speaker, Councillor Alison Gingell, who is the Cabinet Lead for Health and Adult Services, and the Chair of the Health and Wellbeing Board for Coventry City Council. Alison spoke about the importance of regarding older people as an asset rather than a problem. She said that an important aim of the Age Friendly Coventry programme should be to enable them to participate in and contribute to society and the affairs of the City.
Councillor Gingell emphasized the need to tackle social isolation within the City, and welcomed the opportunity that the meeting provided to prioritise the issues and activities that were most important in making Coventry more age friendly.
The next speaker was Michael Vincent, who is Chief Executive Officer of Age UK Coventry. Michael first spoke briefly about the role of Age UK Coventry in supporting older people in the City. He said that they are sometimes considered to be second class citizens, and that “we want to change that.” He said that the Age Friendly Cities programme provided an ideal opportunity to do so.
Mr. Vincent agreed with Councillor Gingell that social isolation is a particular problem, and said that (projected from national figures) 4,000 older people in Coventry go for a month or more without meeting anyone, and that (according to research by Coventry University) 15,000 say that they feel lonely on some or most days. He also praised Coventry Older Voices, describing its aims and activities, and said that it would be one of the keys to making an Age Friendly Coventry happen.
Next Professor Guy Daly reported on research carried out at Coventry University, including an “Older People Needs Assessment Survey”. In particular, this highlighted the increased health provision that would be needed by an increasingly ageing population. Professor Daly applauded the “Active Ageing” approach promoted by the Age Friendly Cities programme, recognizing that older people can and should be regarded as an asset rather than a problem.
Professor Day’s talk ended the morning speakers’ session, after which everyone present took part in workshops on three of eight themes, according to their individual interests. The topics of the workshops were the eight categories of “Age Friendly Cities Essential Features”:
Participants were asked to assess their relative importance, to what extent they currently applied, and how they could be met. Opinions were recorded, to be fed back to the organisers.
The main session was re-convened for the final speaker, Mr. John Forde (a Public Health Consultant with Coventry City Council). John said that he had met a lot of very vocal people during the event, assuring us that this was intended as a compliment! He then explained what would happen as a result of the meeting …
In order to be recognised as an Age Friendly City by the WHO, the Council would need to submit an application, and to commit to a cycle of continuous improvement. The Health and Wellbeing Board (Chaired by Councillor Gingell) would meet in January. The outcomes of the days’ various workshop sessions would be fed back to the attendees. A plan of action, based on these results, and ensuring the involvement of older people, would then be drawn up. Meeting participants were asked to indicate, as they were leaving, what they thought should be the three most important points in the action plan.
Finally Lissa Clarke, a member of the COV committee, made an appeal to the City Council and to Coventry University for “a few pounds” to help with the costs of running the organisation. No immediate reply was expected (or forthcoming!), but any response will of course be reported on this website. | [

A recent Cochrane Review suggests that a strategy to help reduce back pain could be to perform exercises targeted to the muscles that support and control the spine.
The study, published recently in Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, gathered together data from 29 randomized trials to investigate the impact of using motor control exercises, other exercises, or no exercise to treat lower back pain.
These studies included a total 2,431 participants, both men and women, aged 22 to 55 years old.
The authors found that people who used motor control exercises experienced improvements, especially in pain and disability compared with minimal intervention. When compared with other types of exercise at intervals between 3 and 12 months, motor control exercise provided similar results for pain and disability, explains a media release from Wiley.
Lead author, Physiotherapist Bruno Saragiotto, from The George Institute, University of Sydney, Australia, says in the release that, “Targeting the strength and coordination of muscles that support the spine through motor control exercise offers an alternative approach to treating lower back pain. We can be confident that they are as effective as other types of exercise, so the choice of exercise should take into account factors such as patient or therapist preferences, cost and availability.”

Consider “M” symbols
to betransmitted over a channel with the overall channel
impulse response “H”. The noise in the channel isdenoted by “n”. The system of
equations is givenby (1) and (2): (1) (2) Where:
M = # of antennas at the Transmitter.
N = # of antennas at the Receiver.
= Path gain from transmit antenna N toreceiver antenna M. Our channel is a Gaussian channel withconstant Rayleigh fading. Hence, each noisesamples is independent with zero-mean. Noise isalso a Gaussian random variable. Hence, each output
“y” is also Gaussian.
The path gain is designed to besamples of independent complex GaussianRandom variables. The variables have their real andimaginary parts to have 0.5variance. In our following scenarios we shall denote theinput symbols
by “s”. y
are therespective received signal vectors for the timeinstants t
for the first antenna at the receiverwhile y
are the respective receivedsignals at the second antenna at the receiver.
In our project we have made 3 majorassumptions.
We have assumed an independent andideally distributed (i.i.d) Rayleigh fadingchannel.
The noise we are considering in ourtransmission channel is purely GaussianNoise.
We shall implement Maximum Likelihood(ML) decoding which means that eachsymbol at the input is thought to have thesame probability of occurrences.
Scenario 1: For Orthogonal Space-TimeBlock Codes (STBC)
The first thing we need to make clear is whywe call our codes Orthogonal Space-time Block Codes and why not just Space-time Block Codes.
Consider a matrix “H”. Orthogonal STBC have the
property that the matrix H is orthogonal only if itstranspose is equal to its inverse as shown in (3) and(4). HH
H=I (3) H
We need to prove a property of OrthogonalSTBC which states that Orthogonal Space-timeBlock codes always have BER less than one. InScenario 1, we have considered the transmission of QPSK symbols over a 4x2 channel withindependent and ideally distributed (i.i.d.) Rayleighfading given by (4). Usually STBCs for real signal constellations areconstructed from generalized orthogonal designs.For lower rate designs, we however replace acolumn with zeros. These are in short also known asUnitary Designs.
In the above codeword, the main diagonal iskept zero i.e. the various symbols are sent fromthree different transmitter antennae while thefourth antenna sends nothing. Thus in four timeslots the system sends only three symbols. Thusunlike Alamouti STBC, this is not a full rate code.This is a rate 3/4 code.
For Quasi-orthogonal Space-Time Block Codes (STBC)
Once again consider the transmission of QPSKsymbols over a 4x2 channel with independent andideally distributed (i.i.d.) Rayleigh fading. InScenario 2, we have considered Quasi-orthogonalSpace-time Block Codes for four transmit antennasgiven in (6). | [

Black and White Horror
8″ x 10″ acrylic on canvas. This is a part of the private collection and is not for sale. Dr. Frankenfurter (Tim Curry) from Rocky Horror Picture Show. I am probably a bit of a Tim Curry fan..but that’s just fine! 🙂 While not technically black and white horror it is black and white..and from […]
16″ x 24″ acrylic on canvas. No black and white horror collection is complete without Tippi Hedren from The Birds. I LOVE how this painting came out and it’s another I hold in my private collection.
11″ x 14″ acrylic on canvas. I LOVE how this portrait came out. It’s just perfect. Norman Bates (Anthony Perkins) from Psycho. Hasn’t sold yet, but honestly I’ve had it for so long and admire it so much, that I don’t think I’d part with it by now.
18″ x 24″ acrylic on canvas. I love Alfred Hitchcock’s films, so this painting seemed only appropriate. Below is a time-lapse video I created of the process. | [

While the accounting firms today have histories of high staff turnover, an abnormal turnover rate would not only affect the quality of the service, but also make a gap between the experienced and inexperienced staff. Therefore, facing such high turnover rate, the most important things to the firms is how to retain the talents in enterprise. The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between job stress of new hire staff auditor and turnover intention. We distribute questionnaires to new hire staff auditor and verify our hypothesis by Structural Equations Modeling (SEM). Our empirical results indicate that burnout and organizational commitment served as mediator to the relationship between job stress of new hire staff auditor and turnover intention. When facing job stress, new hire staff auditor is not likely to have turnover intention immediately, but it will happen gradually. In other words, new hire staff auditor will gradually suffer from burnout or reduce loyalty to the organization he belongs to, if he is continuously overloaded with too much pressure. When his feeling of burnout rise to a certain level or his loyalty is reduced to minimum extent, the turnover intention will happen. Therefore, according to this research, before giving assignment to the auditors, accounting firms need to make them understand their job descriptions and working procedures. Besides, the firm also needs to make proper allocation of the jobs to its employees without compromising the quality. Hopefully, the situation of job stress, burnout and turnover intention experienced by auditors may be improved. | [

A new report highlights the dynamic course of Greek extra virgin olive oil exports in Great Britain, as well as their future potential –even in a post-Brexit scenario.
According to a report filed by the Greek Embassy in London, the first quarter of 2021 found the UK in the throes of the Covid-19 pandemic, with the tendency to prepare all meals at home cemented as a way of life. As a result, a significant increase in imports of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO), both in terms of quantity (27.6%) and value (33.1%) compared to the first quarter of 2020, was recorded.
Among the top three olive oil-producer countries supplying Britain, only Spain seems to be reducing its exports, Italy is consolidating its leading role, while Greece follows in third place with a significant increase (43.7% in quantity and 35% in value), but always with a low performance in absolute terms.
2020 saw increased exports, as well
In 2020, the UK imported 28.5 thousand tons of EVOO, worth £75.9 million, an increase of 21% in terms of quantity but only 4.8% in terms of value compared to 2019. This significant increase in the volume of imports of extra virgin olive oil, mainly for domestic consumption, is explained by the fact that the restrictive measures imposed during to deal with the pandemic, led to an increased demand –of extreme nature in some cases.
During the first period of restrictions (end of March – May 2020), Britons resorted to mass panic buys, regardless of the origin, price, quality or other characteristics of the products. The compulsory consumption of all meals at home gave the opportunity to improve eating habits, and was time to experiment with new ingredients and recipes. At the same time, it established the need to simulate going out by recreating at home typical restaurant or holiday meals. With recognized and proven health benefits and evoking nostalgic associations with summer holidays in the Mediterranean, extra virgin olive oil seems to have gained ground in the minds of British consumers during the pandemic.
Greece records highest rise in EVOO exports
All three olive oil-producer countries supplying the UK –Italy, Spain and Greece– have increased their export volume in 2020. Italy, the leader in branded olive oil, now holds more than half of the market. Spain, which dominates the private label olive oil sector, with the lowest prices as always, recorded the lowest increase in volume (6%), which, combined with a decrease in price compared to 2019, led to a decline in its market share in terms of value (36.2%).
Greece remains in third place and far from the top two, with a 5.6% share and one of the most expensive products over time, despite a decline in the average price compared to 2019. Compared to the top two countries, Greece recorded the highest export growth in both quantity (43.3%) and value (30.2%).
The report of the Embassy, however, estimates that part of the increase in the Greek EVOO market share reflects additional imports made to address the sudden shortage of products –not necessarily Greek products– with Greek suppliers being at an advantage due to immediate availability. In any case, whether by choice or necessity, more British consumers tried Greek olive oil in 2020, creating a dynamic that could be exploited by Greek exporters.
Other olive oil exports in the British market
The second major category of olive oil imported into the UK is the other, non-virgin oils. Here too, there has been an increase in imports, both in terms of quantity as well as value, and for the first time after three years of continuous dramatic decline (-45.5% average annual change rate in value between 2017-2019).
This development can also be explained in the context of trying to meet the extreme demand created by the pandemic. Moreover, as this category is also directed at the restaurant sector, it seems to have benefited from the opening of restaurants in July 2020 and until the end of the year.
In this category, Greece has a negligible share, although it has managed to double it in 2020. Spain dominates the category, albeit at a significantly lower price, losing share to Italy.
In third place, in terms of value regarding UK olive oil imports, are other virgin olive oils. There was a 17% increase in import volumes, but this did not translate into an increase in value, given the fall in product price in all countries except Greece.
Spain dominates this category too, with an increased share compared to 2019, which seems to have been won over by Italy and France. It is worth noting that although the average price of its product increased, even if only marginally, Greece more than doubled its share. | [

Chief Sunday Adeyemo, also known as Sunday Igboho, is an activist for the Yoruba Nation and has called for an investigation into the activities of some herdsmen who have allegedly attacked farmers in Iwere-Ile, Oyo State, and several communities in Ogun State recently.
He also issued a seven-day ultimatum to the herdsmen attacking farmers in the southwest, ordering them to leave these communities.
Recall that Igboho just got his freedom back from the Benin Republic and went to live with his family in Germany.
In a statement released on Sunday, the agitator for the Yoruba nation urged Nigerian security forces to apprehend the herders they believe attacked farmers and Amotekun agents in Oyo and Ogun States recently before things get out of hand.
Recall there was a clash between Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC), Amotekun, Operation Burst, Soludero and a group of herdsmen on Monday in Iwerele, Iwajowa Local Government Area of Oyo State which reportedly left many dead.
A source who confirmed the clash said a group of herdsmen had invaded a farm in the community with their cattle and grazed on it, a situation which led to the demise of the owner of the farm during the argument.
It was noted that combined security operatives of Operation Burst, OPC, Amotekun and Soludero were informed to restore peace in the area but they were allegedly ambushed by herdsmen.
Reacting to the development in a statement on Sunday, Igboho said the attack by the herdsmen on security agents as well as farmers working honestly is a worrisome development which should not be ignored.
While commending President Bola Tinubu as well as the Governors of Oyo and Ogun States for their responses to the situation, Igboho requested an increased presence of security operatives in areas where clashes between farmers and herders are still happening so food production won’t be affected.
He said in the statement: “We are calling on the Police, the Department of State Security (DSS), Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) and the Nigerian Army to address the security breaches now before the situation gets out of hand.
“We are saddened that the killings of our farmers innocently eking their living have started rearing their ugly head again. This worrisome development calls for sober reflection bearing in mind the current hardship in the country.
“The recent ambush and killing of operatives of Amotekun Security Corps, including other security agents who were trying to restore normalcy in Iwere-Ile community after the suspected Fulani herdsmen have murdered our kinsmen in Iwere-Ile must be investigated and the culprits must be made to face the music.
“While we commend Oyo State governor, Engineer ‘Seyi Makinde and his counterparts in Ogun State, Prince Dapo Abiodun for their efforts to ensure peace and healthy developments in their respective states, we are challenging the heads of security agencies to act now before the situation worsens.
“However, while we believe in the peaceful coexistence in Nigeria regardless of tribe, religion and political cleavages, we are issuing a-seven day ultimatum to Fulani herdsmen killing our people in any part of Southwest to vacate our communities now. This warning is very important. We are not going to take laws into our hands, but they must leave.
“For now, we have belief in the capability of the Federal Government under the leadership of President Bola Tinubu to ensure and guarantee the safety of lives and properties, particularly farmers in Nigeria. We must not tolerate any act that can further push up the prices of food and other edible commodities.
“We are also appealing to Oyo and Ogun State governors to as a matter of urgency deploy more security agents and architectures to all the flashpoints where there is increase in Fulani herdsmen/farmers clashes for peace to reign.
“Nigerians and our farmers in agrarian settlements need security presence now so that they can engage in small or large scale farming activities for food production. These killings must stop now for the benefit of all.” | [

While the insolvency proceedings for SolarWorld are now underway, its insolvency administrator is now negotiating with a group of investors, probably led by its major shareholder Qatar Foundation, about a short-term solution and the rescue of at least 450 jobs in Germany. But there are several interested parties. “We have sent an offer to the insolvency administrator last week”, confirmed Thomas Bornstein, managing director of Dutch company Prisma Systems, in respsonse to an inquiry from pv magazine. “We are interested in taking over SolarWorld completely and have already made this clear two months ago.” Currently, Prisma Systems is still waiting for confirmation from the insolvency administrator Horst Piepenburg to be able to carry out the due diligence.
Meanwhile, Piepenburg has been negotiating with another investor group. The spokesman of the insolvency administrator, Thomas Schulz, confirmed to pv magazine that there are other interested parties. They also said that they needed several weeks for the economic and technical due diligence. On the other hand, the investor interested in taking over the production facilities in Arnstadt and Freiberg as well as 450 Solarworld employees, is ready to “decide on this quickly”, but it also wants to “ensure the necessary security for the transaction,” Schulz said.
The insolvency proceedings for Solarworld and its German subsidiaries were officially opened by the District Court of Bonn on Tuesday. The group of investors with which Piepenburg negotiates has agreed to pay at least until mid-August all employees who are not laid-off. According to Schulz, there are still around 1650 at the factories in Freiberg and Arnstadt. Furthermore, 65 employees are still working at the company headquarters in Bonn.
Prisma Systems says its interest in Solarworld is due to its own large solar project pipeline, which according to company data is about 3.4 GW worldwide. “We would use the modules for the majority of our projects. But we also intend to sell part to the market as well, “explains Bornstein. Currently, the company has several projects in Brazil. In Europe, Prisma Systems is more likely to be an EPC. Whether or not a takeover of Solarworld is possible for the company depends on the feedback of the insolvency administrator, according to Bornstein.
In mid-May, Solarworld AG and its German subsidiaries had to file for provisional insolvency. At the end of the month the process of finding an investor began, which is being managed by financial services provider Macquarie.

Laser hair removal is the most effective method for eliminating unwanted hair permanently.
All our Epilia centres are equipped with cutting-edge technology: Alexandrite lasers from Candela. Candela has been the world leader in aesthetic lasers for almost 20 years.
These high-performance lasers guarantee permanent hair removal under the safest possible conditions.
Let us explain the benefits and how this highly sought-after technique works for those who want smooth, hair-free skin.
Laser hair removal: a safe solution for getting rid of hair
Laser hair removal is a method that uses selective light to penetrate the skin with precision, without damaging it or the surrounding tissues.
Advantages of laser hair removal
Laser hair removal has several advantages over other traditional hair removal methods.
Long-lasting, time-saving hair removal.
First of all, it delivers long-lasting results. Unlike waxing, shaving or depilatory creams, laser hair removal targets the hair follicles directly to destroy them, thereby reducing hair regrowth significantly.
This means less hair in the long term and less time spent on hair removal.
A safe and reliable option
Another major advantage of laser hair removal is its precision. The beam of light can be adjusted to zero in on dark hairs while preserving the dermis.
This reduces the risk of skin burns or irritation, making laser a safe and reliable option for hair removal.
Finally a solution against ingrown hairs
Permanent laser hair removal delivers excellent results on areas with ingrown hairs. As the hairs are destroyed gradually, this type of lesion will disappear naturally over the course of sessions.
A cost-effective solution
Finally, laser hair removal can also be more economical in the long term. Although the initial cost may seem higher than other hair removal methods, laser hair removal sessions reduce hair regrowth significantly.
This means fewer regular visits to the beautician or the use of expensive hair removal products over the long term.
To recapitulate, the advantages of laser hair removal include long-lasting results, higher precision and greater efficiency, plus long-term savings. These advantages make it an attractive option for those who want to get rid of unwanted hair in an effective and practical manner.
Principle of laser hair removal
This non-invasive procedure uses a concentrated beam of light to zero in on hair follicles and destroy them.
The energy from the laser is absorbed by the melanin present in the hair. This heats and damages them selectively, without affecting the surrounding skin.
In other words, the light from laser hair removal is transformed into heat to eliminate the hair root. The bulb is thus eradicated, and the hair can no longer grow back.
The number of sessions required depends on several factors and the physiology of each person.
Laser hair removal for men and women: a solution for the whole body
Caution and information: what type of laser?
Before choosing a laser treatment, it is important to find out about the hair removal technique or even the type of laser used.
Not all lasers are created equal. Some are not suitable for all hair or skin colours, while others can be ineffective over the long term, or even hazardous to health.
Caution and information are therefore essential.
To find out more, read our article on the different types of laser.
Laser hair removal and Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) hair removal: what are the differences? Which one to choose?
Often mistaken for one another, laser hair removal and Intense Pulsed Light hair removal are two very different methods in terms of both safety and effectiveness.
IPL hair removal uses several types of light.
They are weaker and less targeted than laser hair removal, which considerably reduces their effectiveness. The results are consequently short-lived and transitory, since they only weaken the hair follicle.
The laser, on the other hand, emits a more intense and selective beam of light that destroys the hair bulb to deliver truly permanent hair removal.
Alexandrite laser by Candela
You will find the Alexandrite laser by Candela, the undisputed expert in lasers for dermatological and aesthetic purposes, in all Epilia centres.
A semi-precious stone, Alexandrite is used to filter the light (wavelength of 755 nanometres), which is then absorbed by the melanin in the hair. This ensures precise penetration of the beam of light without high intensity.
Scientific studies confirm that Alexandrite is currently the laser that delivers the most convincing results on fair to intermediate skins.
At Epilia, we combine the Alexandrite laser with the Zimmer. This is a cooling system that provides an anaesthetic effect for your comfort during treatment sessions.
At Epilia, your safety is our priority
At Epilia, we have chosen cutting-edge technology because it is effective and above all safe for human health.
Our class 4 laser is a professional instrument for controlled use.

EAST TEXAS (KLTV) -
The Marshall Police Department is warning the public regarding deceptive telephone calls. The Marshall Police Department is currently investigating several cases in which an individual has received a phone call from someone posing as emergency personnel.
According to police, the caller informs the person that a love one has been involved in an accident or that law enforcement personnel have a loved one stopped on the side of the road. The person receiving the call is asked to come to the local emergency room or to the site where the loved one is being detained. These calls can be a ploy to get you out of the residence so that they can burglarize the residence.
Marshall police want the public to know that there are several ways to defend yourself against this hoax. If you should receive a phone call from someone who informs you that law enforcement or hospital personnel need you to come to a certain location, you should ask the following questions:
(1) What agency do you work for?
(2) Where exactly do I need to come?
(3) Who exactly do you have detained?
Once you get this information and before leaving the residence, call that loved one to try and make contact. Also, call that agency's non-emergency number to see if they actually have an officer/deputy at that location.
If the caller advises you to come to the local emergency room, call that emergency room to see if they have that loved one in their facility. | [

How long does it take for Nightcrawlers to reproduce?
Each worm may mate and lay eggs several times each year, but they produce relatively few offspring per year, perhaps only 10-15 for each adult worm. It may take the tiny worms up to a year to reach full size and sexual maturity.
What is the best thing to feed Nightcrawlers?
If you don’t care what happens to the night crawlers once they’re fully grown (for people who raise night crawlers to catch fish), feed them fruit and vegetable skins, molded bread, and finely shredded paper-based trash. Make sure the food is damp, or they won’t be able to consume it.
Do worms grow back if cut in half?
If an earthworm is split in two, it will not become two new worms. The head of the worm may survive and regenerate its tail if the animal is cut behind the clitellum. But the original tail of the worm will not be able to grow a new head (or the rest of its vital organs), and will instead die.
Are coffee grounds good for Nightcrawlers?
Since compost worms also eat their bedding, you can still supplement them with some coffee (in its liquid form) when you pour some on top of it. … So don’t be afraid to feed your worms with some Coffee grounds. It will definitely be a good addition to their diet.
Do worms like coffee grounds?
Regular composting produces healthy food for your plants, but vermicomposting, or composting kitchen scraps with worms, enriches the compost even more. … Worms like to eat coffee grounds, but offer them in moderation to keep their home at proper acidity levels.
What is the best bedding for Nightcrawlers?
Here’s a list of common bedding materials you can add into the worm bin.
- Newspaper (not colored, shredded)
- Aged compost.
- Aged horse or cow manure.
- Coco coir or coco fiber.
- Peat moss.
- Straw and hay.
- Fall leaves and other yard waste.
- Wood chips.
What can I do with leftover Nightcrawlers?
The best way to dispose of minnows is to bury them or put them in the waste. Just as minnows should be disposed of properly, nightcrawlers and other earthworms also need to be thrown in the trash, rather than released.
How long will Nightcrawlers last in the fridge?
What should you not feed worms?
Avoid feeding the worms large quantities of meat, citrus, onions and dairy foods. Some processed food also contains preservatives, which discourage the worms from eating it. These foods won’t harm your worms, but they will avoid them and those scraps will break down and rot in the bin.
What is the difference between Nightcrawlers and earthworms?
A red worm is an earthworm used in composting food scraps and other organic material and as fishing baits while a nightcrawler is a large earthworm found on the soil surface at night and used for fish bait.
Can you put Nightcrawlers in the fridge?
In my experience, nightcrawlers are VERY resilient, given that you always do the following: Anytime they are not being used for fishing they should be stored in the refrigerator. I always put them on the top shelf to make sure that they don’t accidentally freeze. They should always be in a slightly moist environment.24 мая 2016 г.
Can you freeze Nightcrawlers?
The answer is no. If you freeze them, then thaw, you end up with useless goo. Night crawlers will tolerate temperatures as low as 42 degrees and will last (go dormant and stay alive) a very long time at that temperature. | [

What's your song?
Last night on Modern family, the men are reduced to tears listening to the song cats in the cradle. It's one of those songs that seems to tug at every man's heartstrings, making them reminisce about their relationship with their father or son.
My friend sent me the ad in the clip above from the Superbowl the other day, and it didn't take long before I was in tears. It's the one song that always guts me, partnered up beautifully with gorgeous footage of the relationship between humans and animals, I really didn't stand a chance. (It's the lyrics "children get older, I'm getting older too..." - that tug at my overly sentimental heartstrings).
I know some of my male friends will tear up because the man in the commercial is drinking Bud.
