(MENAFN- AzerNews) The cost of supplies of Turkmen natural gas to China for ten
months of the year amounted to $8.07 billion. Among the states
exporting pipeline gas to China, Turkmenistan still ranks first, Azernews reports, citing Central Asia Light.
In second place is Russia, which increased its year-on-year
shipments by 73%, reaching a value of $5.36 billion, followed by
Myanmar ($1.23 billion), Kazakhstan ($1.08 billion) and Uzbekistan
($454.44 million). This data is provided by the General
Administration of Customs of the People's Republic of China.

(MENAFN- Swissinfo) It's nearly 20 years since Concorde made its final commercial flight, ending the first era of supersonic travel. A Swiss start-up is part of a new generation of aviation pioneers trying to re-introduce high-speed travel using clean hydrogen. But the road ahead is long and expensive.
The goal is ambitious: to develop a 400-passenger hypersonic aircraft that can take you anywhere on earth within half a day.
“A direct flight from London to Sydney would take four hours, and we plan for this to happen in the 2040s,” says Martina Löfqvist, head of business development at the aerospace start-up Destinus.
Destinus was founded in 2021 in Payerne, western Switzerland, by Mikhail Kokorich, a Siberian-born physicist, inventor and entrepreneur. Kokorich moved to Switzerland and started Destinus after founding and then resigning from the aerospace company Momentus in the United States (see infobox).

A flow meter, also termed a flow sensor, is a tool used to measure linear or nonlinear flow rates. It determines the mass or quantitative flow rate of liquids or gaseous substances. A few variables must be considered when purchasing an operation’s flow rate. Among all these variables is the company’s acquaintance with the plant. Understanding the flow rate is essential in establishments that manufacture or use fluids. This knowledge is crucial since it determines whether the company is making money. In other respects, a flow meter is an instrument used to determine a fluid’s volumetric or mass flow rate or the amount of water moving through a pipe. When a liquid, gas, or steam flows through or near the flow meter detectors, it is recorded by the flow meter. While flow meter sensors function in many ways, they all strive to deliver the most accurate and reproducible flow meter for a particular purpose: process control, general investigation, or semiconductor manufacturing.
Types Of Flow Meters
There are many types of flow meters, and you will find more about them below.
- Mechanical Flow Meters
Water flow meters that monitor or assess flow through wind turbine rotors using a blade, shunt, or paddle wheel design are the most widespread and cost-effective water flow meters. These electromechanical water flow meters detect the velocity at which water surges through the pipe, generating a turbine or piston. The connection between the water’s volumetric flow rate and blade rotational speeds is continuous. Digital water flow meter for monitoring water have disadvantages or downsides. They may clog when the water has been contaminated or involves larger molecules, which increases and sometimes even doubles maintenance expenses.
2. Vortex Flow Meter
The vortices ejected from a sensor embedded in the flow can be utilized by vortex flow meters to quantify or estimate water flow. Vortices are natural forces that develop when a fluid is pumped around an obstruction, such as the wind crossing a flagpole or water running around a mountain in a stream. As each vortex travels by in a vortex meter, a detector tab stretches side to side, producing a frequency output approximately equal to the flow rate in volume. Volumetric flow rate, flow velocity, concentration, temperature, and warmth are all characteristics that multichannel vortex flow meters can determine with just one system connection. Since they can be introduced into the flow by hot tapping with a retractor, implantation vortex meters operate well on an extensive network.
3. Ultrasonic Flow Meter
Ultrasonic flow meters use ultrasound to determine the velocity of water moving through a pipeline to measure volumetric flow. An ultrasonic message is sent in the direction of the fluid flowing downstream in a transit-time ultrasound liquid flow meter, accompanied by an ultrasonic signal transmitted against the running fluid upstream. Its simplistic definition examines the time required for the auditory pulse to traverse downstream and upstream. The fluid’s flow velocity is then measured using this divergence time. The volumetric flow rate in the pipe is then determined by the meter that uses this fluid velocity.
A magnetic field can be utilized to determine the volume flow rate in magnetic flow meters, which evaluate the flow rate of a fluid as it travels through a pipe. The voltage generated changes and fluctuates with the rate of the flowing fluid. The volumetric flow rate is processed by the electronics from the voltage signal, which is immediately inversely proportional to water movement. The flow meters with magnets perform poorly for custody device applications and can’t determine pure water since there aren’t any ions to measure because of their intermediate accuracy. I hope this was helpful. | [

What are we looking for?
Solid, growth-oriented health-care companies.
So it finally happened. Cannabis is now legal for recreational use in Canada. And while we have seen great momentum stocks with lots of trading volume, investments in cannabis producers have been wrought with volatility, and have arguably lacked reasonable valuations and growth fundamentals from the perspective of a disciplined investor. Certainly a great ride, but likely not for everyone. For the significantly more traditional growth-oriented investor, I turn your attention to the broader health-care sector in the United States (today consisting of 250 companies in the CPMS U.S. database) to look for sound companies that have shown a reasonable history of growth. I find these companies by ranking the universe on:
- Five-year sales and earnings-per-share growth (on average, how much the top line and bottom line have grown each year in the past five years);
- Five-year average return on equity;
- Five-year variability of earnings (a statistical measure showing how consistent a company’s earnings have been over the past five years, lower figures preferred);
- Three-month estimate revision (today’s consensus estimate compared against the same figure three months ago);
- Quarterly earnings momentum (latest four quarters of earnings compared against the same figure one quarter ago).
To qualify, companies must have a market capitalization greater than US$1.2-billion (this figure removes the bottom one-third of stocks from our universe of 250 by size, to ensure reasonable liquidity).
More about Morningstar
Morningstar Research Inc. provides independent investment research in North America, Europe, Australia and Asia. Its research tool, Morningstar CPMS, provides quantitative North American equity research and portfolio analysis to institutional clients and financial advisers. CPMS data cover more than 95 per cent of the investable North American stock market.With more than 110 equity and credit analysts, Morningstar has one of the largest independent institutional equity research teams in the world.
What we found
I used Morningstar CPMS to back-test this strategy from April, 2004, to September, 2018. During this process, a maximum of 10 stocks were purchased and equally weighted with no more than two for each sub-industry within the health-care sector. Once a month, stocks were sold if their rank fell below the top 35 per cent of the ranked universe, if consensus estimates dropped by more than 10 per cent or if the stock missed earnings expectations by more than 5 per cent. When sold, the positions were replaced with the highest-ranked stock not already owned in the portfolio. Over this period, the strategy produced an annualized total return of 14.5 per cent while the S&P 500 Health Care Total Return Index gained 10.2 per cent. The stocks that qualify for purchase today (none of which pay a dividend) are listed in the accompanying table.
It is always recommended to speak to a financial adviser or investment professional before investing.

It was unusually cold in January in the eastern half of the U.S., but most other parts of the world experienced warmer-than-average temperatures.
According to NOAA, last month was the fourth-warmest on record for global temperatures.
- The combined average temperature over global land and ocean surfaces for January was the warmest since 2007 and the fourth warmest on record at 54.8°F, 1.17°F above the 20th century average of 53.6°F. The margin of error is ±0.14°F
- The global land temperature was the highest since 2007 and the fourth highest on record for January, at 2.11°F above the 20th century average of 37.0°F. The margin of error is ±0.32°F
- For the ocean, the January global sea surface temperature was 0.83°F above the 20th century average of 60.5°F, the highest since 2010 and seventh highest on record for January. The margin of error is ±0.07°F

THE DOORS OF REPENTANCE
“Open to me the doors of repentance, O Giver of Life…” (Lenten Prayer, sung at Byzantine Sunday matins)
“Repentance” (i.e. “metanoia,” a change of mind) is a transition, so it needs to be “entered,” like a door. While the “doors” of repentance are inside me, the power to open them, to open my heart, mind and body to the sometimes-scary prospect of change, is outside me, in the Giver of Life. So in the prayer quoted above, which we sing this weekend for the first time, and keep singing throughout Lent, we ask God to nudge us forward, toward the springtime of Lent.
Today let me let God open me up to the life-giving changes unfolding now, in the Lenten season. I need not be impatient or self-justifying in my “progress,” as the Pharisee was (Lk 18: 11-12), but rather open up to God’s life-giving mercy, as did the tax-collector (Lk 18: 13). Because it is God alone Who sees me as I am, and where I am, and it is His to “justify” my journey in His light, when I let Him be Who He is, the one source of Life and Justice. | [

It became known that the Russian troops in the zone of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant are located on the most contaminated with radiation site. The column of Russian military equipment not only passed through the so-called. ‘Red Forest’, but also left combat protection in this dangerous place.
Near a platoon of soldiers of the Russian army, positions were set up in the “Red Forest”. They dug trenches and caponiers for armored vehicles.
After the withdrawal of Russian troops from the Chernobyl zone, it became known that 26 servicemen with a severe form of radiation sickness were admitted to the hospital in the Belarusian city of Gomel. One of the victims died. (*)
*The information needs additional verification.
Ukrainians laugh at the mediocrity of the Russian command, which sent their subordinates to a certain painful death from radiation and joke evilly on social networks calling the Russian military who received radiation sickness “gamma males” and inventing offensive nicknames:
The red forest is about 202 km² of trees adjacent to the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, which took on the largest share of the release of radioactive dust during the explosion of the reactor in 1986.
A high dose of absorbed radiation during the accident led to the death of trees and their staining in brown-red color, which occurred within 30 minutes after the explosion. During the decontamination work, the forest was bulldozed and buried.
Currently, the forest in this area is being restored naturally.
In places of greatest infection, the exposure dose rate is above 500 mR / h. Recall that the natural radioactive background is 20 μR / h. The safety threshold for humans is 30 μR/h.
Thus, the radioactive background of the “Red Forest” exceeds the norm by several thousand times.
The information that the Russian military carried out excavation work in the “Red Forest” was confirmed.
The Australian Institute for Strategic Policy published satellite images that clearly show that the trenches and caponiers for tanks were located in the “Red Forest” – an area not suitable for finding people for more than a few minutes. | [

This evening's figures show a rise in the number of patients in hospital and the national 14 incidence rate.
The Department of Health has reported one additional COVID-19 death.
429 cases of the virus have also been reported in the past 24 hours, 16 of which are in Louth and 15 in Meath.
It brings the total number of COVID-19 deaths reported in the Republic to 2,124, while 76,185 cases have been recorded since the pandemic began.
193 patients are now being treated in hospital, with 13 of those admitted in the past 24 hours according to latest figures.
It's eight more than the number in hospitals recorded yesterday.
Meanwhile, the number of people receiving intensive care has remained static - 31 patients are in ICU today, the same figure as yesterday.
Meath's 14 day incidence rate at per 100,000 rate stands at 60.5 and Louth's is currently at 174.6.
They were 58.4 and 173 yesterday, respectively.
The infection rate has also seen a rise, now standing at 84.5 cases per hundred thousand people over the last 14 days compared to 81.5 yesterday.
Speaking in light of this evening's latest figures, Chief Medical Officer Dr. Tony Holohan said:
“Today, I am concerned that we are seeing the incidence of COVID-19 rising again. 429 is a large number of cases by the standard of recent weeks and the five day moving average has now increased above 300 per day.
“Our efforts in Level 5 in recent weeks brought the 14-day incidence rate down to 78 per 100,000 population, put us in a position of having the lowest disease incidence in Europe and ultimately protected many people and saved many lives.
“Take today’s figures as a sign that we all must now reduce our social contacts, limit our interactions with those outside our households, weigh the risks of what socialising we are planning over the next two weeks, so that we can all have as safe a Christmas as possible.”
A full breakdown of this evening's figures can be found on the Coronavirus Live Dashboard.
483 people have been diagnosed with Covid-19 in Northern Ireland in the past 24 hours.
4 further deaths have also been confirmed by the north's department of health.
There are currently 407 people with Covid-19 in hospitals north of the border.
29 patients with the virus are in ICU.
The HSE says student nurses, who worked in St Mary's Hospital in the Phoenix Park at the height of the pandemic, volunteered to do so and were paid.
It says they were temporarily hired as health care assistants as part of the national public health emergency response to Covid-19.
It follows the publication of HSE documents, obtained by local Fine Gael TD Fergus O'Dowd, in the Sunday Independent.
They show student nurses worked night shifts and covered staff out sick or isolating.
TD David Cullinane says students on placements are still being used to plug gaps and they're not being paid: | [

The terrorist attack of September 11 could cost New York up to $95bn (£60bn), according to the city's own independent financial watchdog, making it more expensive than America's largest ever natural disaster.
City comptroller William Thompson estimates that America's financial capital has lost 83,000 jobs over the past year. In a report out yesterday he added that prospects for an estimated 63,000 new jobs were erased when last September's fledgling recovery on Wall Street was undermined by the attacks on the World Trade Centre.
The city's jobless rate - at 7.7% in July - is already higher than the national rate of 5.9%.
Mr Thompson reckons it will cost the city almost $22bn to replace the buildings, infrastructure and other amenities destroyed when two hijacked commercial airliners were flown into the twin towers.
The attacks killed nearly 3,000 people and forced the New York stock exchange to close for six days. Many high-profile financial institutions had to relocate from Manhattan to New Jersey.
The collapse of the towers and the damage to property in the Wall Street area removed almost 13m sq ft [1.2m sq metres] of office space from downtown Manhattan.
As well as the cost of the clean-up and rebuilding work, New York has lost nearly $3bn in taxes as companies moved out of Manhattan into temporary accommodation in New Jersey.
The city is likely to have to pick up the tab for $500m in unreimbursed expenses, according to Mr Thompson's calculations.
The financial effects of the September 11 attacks far outweigh the most expensive natural disaster in US history. In 1992 Hurricane Andrew raged across the southern tip of Florida, killing 28 people and causing more than $25bn worth of damage.
New York's mayor, Michael Bloomberg, has already warned that taxes may have to be increased if the city is unable to secure more federal aid as it struggles with a forecast budget deficit next year of $5bn.
Mr Thompson, however, has already made it plain that he will not allow the city to relax its fiscal rules, for fear that New York will find itself repeating the financial crisis that forced the city close to bankruptcy in the 1970s.
Although the terrorist attacks have altered the priorities of New York's politicians Mr Thompson has also made it plain that the city must not forget the need for housing for low and middle-income people in parts of the city. | [

Listen to two posthumous Mac Miller songs from his 'Spotify Singles EP'
At the American Music Awards, Ty Dolla $ign talks about his friendship with late rapper Mac Miller and the duo's new song. Elsewhere, Dua Lipa, J Balvin, Thomas Rhett and Ella Mai talk about what music means to them. (Oct. 10) AP
Two months after Mac Miller's tragic death, Spotify shared two new songs from the rapper as part of Miller's "Spotify Singles EP."
The release features a live version of "Dunno" from Miller's 2018 album "Swimming" and a cover of "Nothing From Nothing," a 1974 hit by Billy Preston, the musician known as the "fifth Beatle" for his work with the band throughout their career.
Miller was found dead in his home on Sept. 7, with a recent toxicology report revealing that he succumbed to an accidental overdose of fentanyl, alcohol and cocaine.
His death was mourned throughout the music community and beyond, with fans remembering him at a public vigil in Pittsburgh in September, and artists including John Mayer, Travis Scott, SZA and Chance the Rapper gathering to perform a tribute show in Los Angeles last month.

Thrips can get the tomato spotted wilt virus from an infected plant when they are nymphs. When they get older, they can carry the disease to other plants as they feed, said David Riley, a CAES research entomologist in Tifton, Ga.
The severity of the disease can vary from year to year. Over the past two decades, TSWV has cost Georgia farmers hundreds of millions of dollars in damage to crops like peanuts, tobacco, peppers and tomatoes.
“Conditions in south Georgia are developing to an increased risk of tomato spotted wilt virus this spring,” he said.
Thrips countTwo years ago, Riley and his research assistants began to keep track of thrips in Brooks, Colquitt, Decatur and Tift counties in south Georgia, the region where most of the peanut, tobacco and vegetable crops are planted.
They collect weed samples monthly from two sites in each county. They collect every two weeks during the months leading to spring planting, he said.
Thrips numbers are running high, he said, twice those taken this time last year from Colquitt and Tift counties. Five percent of the weeds sampled in these counties are infected with TSWV. Based on research, anything above 2 percent now would indicate a risky year ahead.
The numbers in Brooks and Decatur counties are about the same as last year.
Thrips don’t like cold weather. They stop reproducing and become dormant when temperatures sink below 50 degrees. But it takes a few days of hard-freezing temperatures to kill them, he said.
Thrips have liked the recent warm weather in south Georgia, leading to the higher numbers, he said. Daytime temperatures in the region reached the mid- to upper-70s in late December and January – 10 degrees to 15 degrees above normal.
When temperatures get this high, thrips that survive winter become active. They’re hungry and ready to reproduce.
A female thrips can produce five to 90 more female thrips. Each can reach maturity in about two weeks and produce another 5 to 90 more. A field of peppers, for example, could have 10 million thrips per acre by April, Riley said. And that’s a conservative number.
Cool weather returned to south Georgia in the past week. This could suppress thrips’ activity. But what is believed to be their favorite food has emerged, too. Pine pollen now covers most fields, homes and cars in south Georgia, ready to give thrips a nutritious springtime kick once warm weather returns.
No curePrevention is the only cure for TSWV. Once a plant gets it, it will die or yield little. To protect their crops, farmers can spend more money for TSWV-resistant crop varieties and insecticidal sprays to control thrips.
Many farmers grow vegetables in fields of raised beds wrapped in plastic film. This helps farmers better control the crop environment. Most use black film. But some use metallic film, which disorients thrips and keeps them from landing on crops' leaves. It costs about $150 more per acre to use.
TSWV was bad last year. It cost Georgia tobacco farmers about $10 million in damage and control costs. It was tough on peanuts, too, reaching levels not seen since the late 1990s, when it cost farmers about $45 million in damage.
“Based on the thrips survey data,” Riley said, “the disease could be strong this year and become a problem earlier.”

A farmer who would like to have his area sampled should contact the local UGA Cooperative Extension office at 1-800-ASK-UGA1. | [

A pilot was seriously injured when his single-engine airplane crashed at the east end of Santa Monica Airport and skidded off the runway shortly after takeoff Sunday afternoon, August 2nd.
Some airport neighbors described hearing the Long-EZ propeller plane sputtering before it came down, inciting a sense that the aircraft was doomed and fears that it might crash into nearby homes. Lynn Barker, who lives near the end of the airport on Warren Avenue, recalled sitting in her backyard when she heard the plane appear to be in trouble.
“I heard the plane above us sputtering and I thought, ‘my God that plane is in trouble.’ Then I heard it cut out completely and I was thinking it was going to crash any minute,” said Barker, who has lived near the airport for seven years.
She said she didn’t hear any noise from the crash but saw the wreckage at the airport, where she took some photos.
The airplane had departed Santa Monica Airport at about 2:45 p.m. for a local flight, but immediately after takeoff the pilot reported a loss of engine power, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) spokesman Ian Gregor said. The pilot turned around and attempted to land back at the airport but the plane crashed upon landing and skidded off the runway, Gregor said.
Airport administrator Rod Merl said the plane, which is based out of the airport, came to rest in the infield area between the runway and taxiway. The aircraft was destroyed but it did not catch fire.
“He came down pretty hard,” Merl said.
Santa Monica firefighters applied a flame retardant foam as a precaution and extricated the pilot, identified as William Davenport of Los Angeles, from the wreckage. Davenport was transported to a local hospital where he was treated for injuries including a broken leg, Gregor said.
No other passengers were on board and no other damages occurred on the ground.
The runway was closed following the crash until about 8 p.m. to allow crews to clear the scene of debris. The FAA and National Transportation Safety Board are investigating the accident.
Barker said after hearing the plane lose engine power, she and some of her neighbors were initially worried that it could strike homes.
“We thought it was going to crash into our houses; it was very scary,” she remembered.
Residents say they are thankful that the pilot was not killed. Barker added that the pilot appeared to be experienced based on the way he handled the emergency and guided the plane back toward the runway.
While some neighbors feared that the airplane could crash into surrounding homes, Merl noted that it came down completely within the airfield.
It was the second crash at Santa Monica Airport this year. Two men were killed in January when a single engine plane lost power shortly after takeoff and crashed into the airport runway.
Santa Monica and Mar Vista residents have for years voiced concerns that no safety zones exist at the Santa Monica Airport runway, which is located within 300 feet of homes. They argue that the airport was not designed to accommodate the fastest type of jets that now take off from the airfield.
Resident Ellen Mark, who has lived near the airport for ten years, noted that she has seen an increase in the number of jets taking off from there.
“There’s been a definite increase with the jets and with that increase, we’ve become more aware of the issue,” she said. “This runway is too short for the size plane that is taking off.”
The City of Santa Monica and FAA are within an ongoing court battle over an ordinance that would ban C and D, or the fastest type jets, from using the facility. A recent decision sided with the FAA saying Santa Monica could not enforce the law, but the city plans to fight the ruling.
The August 2nd crash did not involve a jet, but residents say such incidents reemphasize concerns that a larger plane could one day be involved.
“Although this unfortunate accident involved a slower class type aircraft than the faster C and D class aircraft Santa Monica wants banned from using Santa Monica Airport, it does not affect the probability that a C or D aircraft will eventually be involved in an accident coming into or leaving SMO,” Marty Rubin of the Concerned Residents Against Airport Pollution said in a statement. | [

Henry & Marty, a wonderful restaurant in Brunswick, serves these savory little cakes as an accompaniment to their luxurious lobster salad. The Johnnycakes have so much intrinsic flavor that I love them as an hors d'oeuvre, topped with a small piece of almost any smoked fish - salmon, arctic char, smoked Maine shrimp, or scallops.
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup low-fat or whole milk
2 tablespoons finely chopped seeded jalapeno chiles
2 tablespoons finely chopped scallions (about 4 scallions)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon liquid hot pepper sauce
1 cup corn kernels (thawed frozen corn is fine)
1 tablespoon butter
60 small pieces (the size of a quarter) smoked salmon, arctic char, smoked shrimp, or scallops
In another bowl, whisk the egg with the milk. Whisk in the jalapenos, 2 tablespoons of the scallions, oil, and hot pepper sauce. Gently whisk the egg mixture into the cornmeal mixture. Stir in the corn.
Heat the butter in a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Spoon out the batter by half-tablespoons to make pancakes about the size of silver dollars. Cook, turning once, until golden brown and cooked through, about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove to baking sheets and repeat until batter is used.
Serve immediately, or reheat in a 375 degree oven until just warm. Top each pancake with a piece of seafood, sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons scallions, and serve.

Back in 2016 I conceived, composed and recorded a Lo-Fi Symphony in one day to mourn the loss of the room I had at BLANK Studios, Portslade-by-Sea. Working on location with just my voice, a bag full of low-fidelity sound capturing devices, a battered cassette 4-track and the ambience of the space, I created a multilayered choral soundpiece. The recording has been lurking on the fringes of the internet since I snuck it out, but in this strange headf**k of a time we are living through, maybe its time has finally come: repurposed as a crooked mantra for lockdown isolation.
The song was recently released as the closing track on volume 5 of the monumental Isolation & Rejection series.
You can buy my track individually for £1 or more, or the whole album for £5 or more, through the Front & Follow bandcamp page > with all proceeds going to The Brick, Wigan > (£2,700 raised so far!)
hint: if you leave your purchase until Friday 4 December Bandcamp will waive their revenue share meaning even more money goes to charity.
One reviewer at furtherdot.com > felt the need to eulogise thus:
“The album concludes with the folksy acapella ‘Lo-Fi Symphony For Portslade-by-Sea’ by Dominic Bradnum, a mournful, yet optimistic piece of vocal sentimentality that sounds like a fishermen’s chorus singing Depeche Mode’s ‘Enjoy The Silence’. It’s this savagely beautiful piece that I’ll be listening to for comfort as I once more mourn the loss of one of my favourite labels.”
I’m pretty happy with that bit of hyperbole, but you can hear it for yourself below and read all about its conception here >>> | [

As the Affordable Care Act continues to roll out, a recent study has uncovered what could be a major barrier to wider mental health care in the United States: psychiatrists are considerably less likely than other doctors to accept insurance. This means that in order to see one, you may need some deep pockets.
The study only polled psychiatrists — medical doctors with specialized training in mental disorders. Other types of psychotherapists, such as clinical psychologists and social workers, were not covered by the study.
Mental health issues are far from rare. In the United States about one in five adults report having a mental or emotional problem at any given time, and about half will experience some form of psychological disorder during their lifetime.
Many psychiatrists are solo practitioners who have smaller offices and may have little incentive to hire the extra people needed to deal with insurance companies.
But people who hope to rely on insurance to pay for mental health treatment may have difficulty seeing a psychiatrist.
Psychiatrists were less likely than any other type of medical specialist to accept private insurance, Medicare and Medicaid, according to data from a national survey of U.S. physicians (NAMCS, 2005-2010). Cardiologists, pediatricians, and general practitioners all were considerably more likely than psychiatrists to accept insurance.
The differences were quite large. Only 55% of psychiatrist accepted private insurance, while 89% of all other doctors did. Medicare was accepted by 55% of psychiatrists and 86% of other specialists and Medicaid was accepted by 43% of psychiatrists and 73% of other doctors.
These disparities widened for private insurance and Medicare (but not for Medicaid) between 2005 and 2010. The likelihood of a psychiatrist accepting insurance has been declining.
- Most psychiatrists not working out of hospitals or clinics work in solo practices, and the study found that solo psychiatrists were the least likely to accept insurance. Solo practitioners have smaller offices and may have little incentive to hire the extra people needed to deal with insurance companies.
- Supply and demand may also play a role. The number of psychiatry graduates has been declining, while the demand to see a psychiatrist has been rising. Psychiatrists may simply be refusing to accept insurance because they can afford to do so.
- Because psychotherapy sessions are generally longer than the 10-20 minutes many other doctors schedule, psychiatrists see fewer patients in a day and may feel they need to be more selective about who they do see.
Whatever the underlying reasons actually are, the study clearly shows that many psychiatrists are refusing to accept insurance, and this makes them far less accessible to many people who would like treatment. | [

LFO singer Devin Lima is recovering after undergoing a surgery to remove an adrenal tumor.
In a video posted onto YouTube, Devin as well as band member Brad Fischetti came together to deliver a surprise announcement for loyal fans.
"We were hoping to be here tonight to announce the next leg of the Rich in Love tour. We had booked a whole bunch of shows and we were ready to make an announcement but then we got some news back here, some serious news at home that's causing us to delay that announcement," Brad explained. "It's just a postponement. Our brother Devin is having a big surgery."
The 40-year-old singer explained that the tumor was affecting his adrenal gland, kidneys and heart.
And while Brad said in the video that Devin could lose a kidney, spleen and part of his colon in the surgery, all signs point to a smooth and successful operation.
"Just got a call from a nurse in the operating room. She said Devin is under and he was happy-go-lucky as ever," LFO shared on Twitter. "She said he's doing fine."
The band added, "Devin's surgery went very well. Thx 4 the love and prayers! More info soon."
Fans know LFO as the boy band who received huge success for their 1999 hit "Summer Girls." Most recently, they returned with a new single titled "Perfect 10."
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Brad revealed the song was inspired by and written for their fans and that the group was doing their best to carry on the legacy of their late bandmember Rich Cronin who passed away in 2010 from leukemia.
"We're sincerely thankful and excited to have the opportunity to create new music and tour again," Brad told the publication. "We miss the presence of our late great brother bandmate Rich Cronin. We will do our best to make him proud, carry on his legacy, and to usher LFO into the future."
We're wishing Devin a smooth and speedy recovery. | [

One in four people in the US are either pre-diabetic or diabetic. Soon it will be 1 in 3 and by 2020 that number is estimated to be one in two! Diabetes is the number one lifestyle disease of modern times, and tens of millions of Americans are being handed expensive prescriptions for anti-diabetic drugs, resulting in weight gain and eventually total dependency upon insulin injections, according to researchers Krentz, Nichols, and Gomez-Caminero in 2 recent articles published in Current Medical Research Opinion and Diabetes Obesity Metabolism.
[sws_red_box box_size=”430″]Diabetes is the number one lifestyle disease of modern times.[/sws_red_box]
Unfortunately, the medical mainstream has failed to help diabetic patients reverse their diabetes naturally, with diet. Most doctors don’t even discuss nutrition with their patients as a viable means of controlling blood sugar. Insulin is the treatment of choice by the vast majority of medical doctors. However, by shifting the diet from a carbohydrate based diet–to a diet high in healthy fats and moderate in protein–the body can often achieve normal blood sugar levels with ease.
This is the exact opposite of what we have all been taught about eating healthy. For example, the “Food Pyramid” is still touting the benefits of eating LOTS of carbohydrates and teaches us that the majority of our calories should come from carbohydrates. Even worse, we have been scared away from the very essential nutrient that is critical to balancing the blood sugar naturally–which is fat!
Diabetes kills–and the complications of this deadly disease are irreversible. In a recent medical study, exogenous insulin therapy was associated with an increased risk of diabetes-related complications. Taking a shot or a pill is not always the easy way out. However, by making simple shifts in your food choices, supporting healthy blood sugar levels can be easy and delicious.
If you are diabetic or pre diabetic, choose foods that help balance your blood sugar; and get the support you need to learn exactly how you can take more control of your blood sugar.
8 Things You Can Do To Balance Your Blood Sugar
- Eat Coconut Oil and Other Healthy Fats (hemp seed oil, olive oil, sesame oil)
- Drink A Superfood Smoothie with Coconut Oil, Cacao Paste, or Cacao Butter Everyday
- Choose Low Glycemic Sweeteners (Stevia, Inulin, Lou Han Guo, Coconut Sugar)
- Stop Eating Grains (especially wheat)
- Eat More Fiber
- Reduce Carbohydrate Intake
- Stop Eating Sugar
- Stop Drinking Soda and Fruit Juice | [

Wheat Crop Remarkably Better in 2015 Compared to
2014- At Least in Texas and Oklahoma- Crop Ratings
First National Weekly Crop Progress report of the
2015 growing season was released on Monday
afternoon- and the first national planting stats
of the season are available for Cotton and Grain
Sorghum. For both crops, planting is behind the
five year average. For the cotton planting season,
there is a total of two percent of the US crop
that has been planted thus far in the 15 major
cotton growing states- versus the five year
average for this date of six percent planted.
national grain sorghum planted stats shows nine
percent of the crop now planted nationally- versus
fifteen percent normally planted by this date.
Click here for our links to the
National Crop Progress report- and more details on
cotton and milo planting- as well as the 2015
winter wheat crop.
the Kansas Wheat crop is not in that great of
shape- and the numbers show that there is not a
ton of difference with the nation's number one
wheat producing state this year versus 2014.
Kansas crop only shows 33% in good to excellent
condition, 44% fair and 23% poor to very poor. The
2015 Kansas crop is not in much different shape in
the first week of April as the 2014 wheat crop
was- the 2014 ratings show 29% good to excellent,
44% fair and 27% poor to very poor. Click here for this week's stats
for the Oklahoma April 6th report- the Oklahoma
wheat crop slips one percentage point from a week
ago at 43% good to excellent shape versus 44% a
week ago- while we are just getting by when it
comes to moisture for this year's crop- consider
where we were a year ago by this date when we had
gone with virtually no moisture all the way back
to the fall months right after planting- the 2014
winter wheat crop in Oklahoma had none of the crop
rated excellent and 15% rated good, 37% fair and
48% rated poor to very poor.
current Oklahoma wheat crop ratings may be too
optimistic- and could decline drastically if no
rain is received in the northwestern quarter of
the state really soon.
Click here for the Crop Weather
Update for Oklahoma this first week of April,
2015. In Contrast- here's the 2014 Crop Weather
update for the first week of April, 2014- you
can see how desperate we already were because of
no rain from October to April.
the Texas wheat crop is so much better than a year
ago- it is truly remarkable.
Texas 2015 wheat crop is 54% in good to excellent
condition, 35% in fair shape and only 11% in poor
to very poor condition. The 2015 Wheat Crop is in
FAR BETTER shape than the crop of 2014 was- only
13% was rated good to excellent last year at this
point, 24% was rated fair and the great majority
of the crop- 63%- was in poor to very poor

The U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency’s effort to develop backup power for naval forces reached its first milestone.
The project is known as the Tactical Undersea Network Architecture, or TUNA, and aims to provide technologies capable of restoring connectivity for deployed forces when traditional networks are unavailable. The program’s first phase was marked by the development of concepts and technologies.
“Phase 1 of the program included successful modeling, simulation, and at-sea tests of unique fiber-cable and buoy-component technologies needed to make such an undersea architecture work,” program manager John Kamp said in a press release. “Teams were able to design strong, hair-thin, buoyant fiber-optic cables able to withstand the pressure, saltwater, and currents of the ocean, as well as develop novel power generation concepts.”
According to DARPA, military personnel can temporarily restore network connectivity at sea by deploying radio frequency network node buoys from naval or air platforms. The buoys would be connected using thin underwater fiber-optic cables.
Researchers from the University of Washington’s Applied Physics Lab developed a way the buoys may be able to generate electricity using the wave movement around them.
During the second and final phase of the TUNA program, DARPA researchers will seek to develop a prototype for testing. Trials will be conducted in laboratory settings and at sea using the Link 16 tactical data network.

The present invention relates to an automatic firearm of the type including a frame supporting a casing to which a barrel is fixed, a chamber formed in the casing adjacent the breech of the barrel and in which a bolt carrying a firing pin is movably mounted, the bolt being movable through the effect of the pressure of gases produced during firing from a forward or closing position, in which it closes the breech, to a withdrawn or open position against the action of first resilient means biassing it into the closing position, a hammer block mounted in the chamber and movable between a first withdrawn or arming position and a forward or striking position in which it is able to act on the firing pin, second resilient means which bias the hammer block from the withdrawn position to the forward striking position, and a trigger or firing mechanism which is actuated by a firing lever or trigger and is operable to allow the movement of the hammer block from the arming position to the striking position.
Automatic fire-arms of the type specified above allow bursts of shots to be fired with a very high rate of fire.
As is known, control of the fire-arm becomes uncertain when firing bursts of shots, that is to say, it is very difficult to keep the weapon pointed at the target since it tends to "climb". This results in less accurate firing and considerable wastage, since the number of poorly-aimed shots fired is anything other than negligible.
It has been attempted to avoid this disadvantage by making heavier fire-arms which thus have a greater inertia, thereby reducing the "climbing" of the weapon during firing.
This solution is unsatisfactory, however, since the greater weight of the fire-arm makes it less manageable and also costlier to manufacture.
The object of the present invention is to provide an automatic fire-arm which is free from the disadvantages present in fire-arms made according to the prior art, and which is therefore light, easy to handle, and able to fire bursts of shots with high accuracy and stability.
In order to achieve this object, the present invention provides an automatic fire-arm of the aforesaid type, the main characteristic of which lies in the fact that it includes:
a movable retaining member which is supported by the frame and extends into the chamber, the retaining member being able to adopt a rest position in which it allows the joint movement of the bolt and the hammer block from their respective forward positions to their respective withdrawn positions, and a working position in which it retains the hammer block substantially in its withdrawn position when the bolt is moved from its withdrawn position towards its forward closing position, the retaining member being movable from the rest position to the working position through the movement of the bolt from the forward closing position to the withdrawn position, and being movable from the working position to the rest position only when the bolt is in the last part of its closing movement, and
a control member which is controlled by the firing lever or trigger and, cooperating with the retaining member, is able to adopt a rest position in which it holds the retaining member in its working position when the trigger is released, and a working position in which it allows the movement of the retaining member from the working position to the rest position and back, when the trigger is pulled.
In the fire-arm according to the present invention, a delay time is introduced between the moment when the bolt reaches the closing position and the moment when the hammer block reaches the striking position. In other words, the fire-arm according to the invention achieves a three-stage cycle (joint withdrawal of the bolt and hammer block, advancement of the bolt alone, and advancement of the hammer block) instead of the two-stage cycle which occurs in conventional automatic fire-arms. This allows bursts of shots to be fired with a lower firing rate, greater stability and accuracy, and less wastage of ammunition.

Projeto/ obras de eficiência energética nas instalações de recalque dos sistemas de água da COPASA
Sector(s): Carbon reduction / Low-carbon transition, Waste management, Water
Minas Gerais is aiming to make its water delivery system more efficient, to reduce both the loss of water and the energy used to power the system. The city will focus in particular on the pumping component of the water system. By reducing the consumption of energy and water loss, the city will conserve a natural resource and cut the amount of electricity required. More generally, the project responds to the effects of climate change on the water system. As water becomes scarcer, greater efficiency and care are required.

Located on 24689 Grange Hall Road, Philomath, OR 97370
The Patch is very close to the Shop, please park on the marked Parking Lot. Just grab a provided wagon or a wheel barrel and have fun picking the best pumpkins you can find. After you've made your selections, bring it to the porch of the shop where we have scales and a cash register. All pumpkins from the field are priced per pound, so they need to be weighed. Although there is great selection of large pumpkins, not all the varieties are grown on the U-Pick Patch. If you can't find what you are looking for, please make sure to look around the Shop for everything that we grow. Whether from the field or porch, all the big pumpkins are the same price. | [

In 2023, the Group’s employees and their families participated in the “Big Starts Small X V-GARDEN Tree Planting Volunteer Activity”. Through employee volunteer activities, more than 3,000 plants were planted, including trees, shrubs, flowers, etc., making a tangible contribution to the sustainable development of community greening and the ecological environment.
In 2022, after the Luding earthquake in Sichuan Province, employee volunteers donated more than 1,300 pieces of supplies to the affected children in Shimian County, one of the hardest-hit areas. These supplies included children's books, stationery, and sports equipment. They also collaborated with China Foundation for Rural Development to donate 600 sets of new "Warm Bags" to provide support and encouragement to children in disaster-stricken areas.
During the same year, Big Starts Small, together with the Green Belt afforestation project, established the "Volkswagen Group China Employee Volunteer Forest" on barren hills in the suburbs of Beijing. By planting over 500 cherry trees, they aimed to improve the ecological conditions of the barren hills and provide support for local livelihood development. Nearly a hundred employee volunteers participated in the conservation work of the forest, contributing to the restoration of the ecological environment.
In 2021, the employee volunteer project launched its first activity “Shoes for Love”. Employee volunteers painted and donated shoes to nearly 600 children living in Yunnan’s remote mountainous regions, along with greeting cards and winter clothing, as New Year gifts, delivering love and warmth to the children. In December, the project carried out the "Warm Bag" activity. Employee volunteers prepared winter clothing and books for 622 children in remote areas of Qinghai Province, and made blessing cards and sent them to the children, bringing care and warmth during the cold winter. These two volunteer activities attracted the participation of over 1,000 employees and benefited more than 1,200 disadvantaged children. | [

The history of nuclear weapons is a story of extremes, and the largest bombs ever built are among the most extreme examples of human ingenuity and destruction.
Only two nuclear bombs have ever been deployed against humans, both in the United States’ bombing campaign against Japan to conclude World War II.
Just one 13 kiloton yield nuclear bomb dropped on Hiroshima nicknamed “Little Boy” incinerated nearly 100,000 people, while the 21 kiloton yield bomb deployed against Nagasaki (“Fat Man”) killed over 70,000.1
These megaton-class devices were thousands of times more powerful than the bombs used against Japan and were designed to unleash a level of devastation never before seen on Earth. Their development marked a new era in the arms race between superpowers.
From the infamous Tsar Bomba of the Soviet Union to the lesser-known but no less powerful Castle Bravo of the United States, this article takes a deep dive into the history of the largest nuclear bombs ever built.
5 Largest Nuclear Bombs by Yield
The 5 largest nuclear bombs ever built (by yield) include:
- Tsar Bomba (~50 megatons)
- B41 (~25 megatons)
- TX-21 “Shrimp” (~15 megatons)
- MK-17/EC-17 (~10-15 megatons)
- MK-24/B-24 (~10-15 megatons)
All of the 5 largest nuclear bombs ever built would cause considerably more death and destruction than those first ones used against Japan. According to world renowned nuclear researcher Jozef Goldblat, a nuclear explosion the size of 10-20 megatons in a city such as New York would lead to casualties in excess of 5 million (based on 1981 population figures).2
The largest nuclear bomb ever built by far has been the Soviet produced Tsar Bomba. The test blast of the devastating weapon reportedly broke windows over 560 miles away.
The B41 was the largest US nuclear weapon ever made with a projected 25 megaton payload, though it was never tested. The B41 remained in service for a several decades before its retirement in 1976.
The TX-21 “Shrimp” was the largest US weapon ever tested. The infamous Castle Bravo test at Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands utilized the TX-21, the subject of which led to much international scrutiny over the fallout and radiation levels.
The last two bombs (MK-17 and MK-24) were identical in appearance and their payloads. The only difference was the design of their primary section. These bombs were very large and the heaviest nuclear weapons the US ever built and put into service.
While the arms race during the Cold War saw thousands of nuclear warheads built and jettisoned around the world, fortunately none have ever been used again.

Dakota Medicine Man
Set on his table-lap the turtle accepts the gaze of the Shaman,
200 million years of life wisdom radiates up and outward,
Spiral vortex of confused coherence generates whirling genius,
Dissolves Shaman’s arms and legs, melds them into the earth,
Informs the healing way on whose back we all travel.
Earth begins and ends in dirt, the soil of our souls,
Carries our simple relatives we name algae, fungi, nematodes,
Grows the healing plants, animals and incantations
Shaman knows from his insides out, beyond the edges,
Recollects himself from the dissolution the turtle demands,
Buffalo horn headdress, chants, prayers create connection,
Plants becomes herbs for healing and soothing,
Intuition born of mingling into earth begins a trial
and error of thirty thousand human generations.
We blood and bone children of the mystery
that moves through timeless space and endless time,
Extrusions of mother earth, too complex to imagine,
Our core shared with every living expression,
Built of her atom and essence, molecule and dipole,
Almost chimp, not quite dolphin, less so cat,
Even less strawberry, 60% banana, 90% turtle.
Hard shelled symbol and bearer of longevity and health,
Mythic foundation of life’s beginnings on this planet,
Our lunar cycle real-time hard copy magic of meaning,
Every shell with thirteen plates encircled by twenty eight more,
One for each lunar month and one for each day of each month,
Universal cosmic energy and order etched in keratin shells,
Vibrating toward our own keratin hair and nails and minds,
Shaman’s energetic vortex creates meaning for healing,
Translates nature into nurture, our gift from the great mother.

The Dungeness River emerges from the Olympic Mountains and flows generally north toward the Strait of Juan De Fuca, crossing the broad, fertile alluvial fan of the Sequim-Dungeness peninsula in northeastern Clallam County, Washington. Increasing competition for the peninsula's ground-water resources, changing water-use patterns, and recent requirements to maintain minimum in-stream flows to enhance endangered salmon and trout populations have severely strained the peninsula's water resources and necessitated a better understanding of the interaction between surface water and groundwater. Three methods were used to characterize the interchange between surface water and groundwater along the lower 11.8 miles of the Dungeness River corridor between September 1999 and July 2001. In-stream mini-piezometers were used to measure vertical hydraulic gradients between the river and the water-table aquifer at 27 points along the river and helped to define the distribution of gaining and losing stream reaches. Seepage runs were used to quantify the net volume of water exchanged between the river and ground water within each of five river reaches, termed'seepage reaches.' Continuous water-level and water-temperature monitoring at two off-stream well transects provided data on near-river horizontal hydraulic gradients and temporal patterns of water exchange for a representative gaining stream reach and a representative losing stream reach.
Vertical hydraulic gradients in the mini-piezometers generally were negative between river miles 11.8 and 3.6, indicating loss of water from the river to ground water. Gradients decreased in the downstream direction from an average of -0.86 at river mile 10.3 to -0.23 at river mile 3.7. Small positive gradients (+0.01 to +0.02) indicating ground-water discharge occurred in three localized reaches below river mile 3.7. Data from the seepage runs and off-stream transect wells supported and were generally consistent with the mini-piezometer findings. An exception occurred between river miles 8.1 and 5.5 where seepage results showed a small gain and the mini-piezometers showed negative gradients.
Vertical hydraulic conductivity of riverbed sediments was estimated using hydraulic gradients measured with the mini-piezometers and estimated seepage fluxes. The resulting conductivity values ranged from an average of 1 to 29 feet per day and are similar to values reported for similar river environments elsewhere.
The results of this study will be used to calibrate a transient, three-dimensional ground-water flow model of the Sequim-Dungeness peninsula. The model will be used to assess the potential effects on ground-water levels and river flows that result from future water use and land-use changes on the peninsula.

From Vietnam to Indonesia, press freedom in Southeast Asia is deteriorating, spurred by the rise of authoritarian governments and enabled by the Trump administration's relative indifference to human rights issues.
Even in the Philippines, home to some of the most outspoken news outlets in the region, the pressure is rising against the media. This week, the government withdrew the operating license for Rappler, an online news outlet that had published many critical stories about President Rodrigo Duterte.
It was the latest blow to the country's independent media by the increasingly authoritarian Duterte, and another signal of a future for press freedom in the region that rights groups say appears increasingly dark.
"The situation for journalists in Southeast Asia has arguably never been more dire," said Shawn Crispin, Southeast Asia representative for the Committee to Protect Journalists. "The online spaces that opened the way for new critical and probing voices is now aggressively being closed by regional governments through legislation, legal intimidation, and threats."
It's a stark contrast to the mid-2000s, a more optimistic era when the influx of social media and gutsy online news outlets suggested a rosier outlook for free information. A decade later, governments in the region are responding to the gains made by independent media online with greater censorship and repression.
In Cambodia, the government forced the closure of the Cambodia Daily newspaper with a massive tax bill and shut down two major radio stations. In Thailand, the military is putting greater pressure on news outlets that publish critical stories.
In addition, reporters across the region are facing years in prison over their work. In Vietnam, citizen journalist Nguyen Van Hoa was sentenced to seven years in prison for using a camera mounted on a drone to film protesters demonstrating against a toxic steel plant spill. In Myanmar, two Reuters reporters, Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo, face up to 14 years in prison under a colonial-era law called the Official Secrets Act.
"Laws and legislation is abused, often by governments and fundamentalist groups, to prosecute the media and restrict freedom of expression," said Marte Hellema of the Asian Forum for Human Rights and Development. "Combined with the culture of impunity across the region, it results in the repression of the freedom of press on a daily basis."
Rappler has faced pressure from the government for months over its critical coverage of Duterte, including his violent, police-led campaign against drug users. Things got worse for the site after it released a leaked transcript of a call between Duterte and President Donald Trump, which included a discussion about North Korea. Duterte himself singled out the publication in his State of the Nation address last July, claiming it is fully American owned. (It's not.)
Rappler plans to appeal the decision by the Philippines' Securities and Exchange Commission, calling the ruling "pure and simple harassment."
Rising authoritarianism in the region, including from governments like Duterte's, is likely one reason for the crackdown on the press. But rights groups say there is another problem — the US decision to put human rights on the back burner. The Trump administration's "America First" philosophy has often meant that the government focuses more on transactional diplomacy in service of US interests rather than promoting values like freedom of speech and rule of law.
Trump's apparent indifference to Duterte's attacks on the press were thrown into relief during a trip to the Philippines in November, when he laughed after Duterte joked that journalists were spies. “We’ve had a great relationship,” Trump said of Duterte at the time.
Public pressure from US officials as well as private diplomatic pressure used to be a strong incentive for Southeast Asian governments, many of whose economies are closely linked with the US. But that's largely ended since Trump took office, rights groups say.
"Local organizations working on human rights issues are home alone, and their governments know it — dictators are taking opportunities to achieve gains because the biggest voice in the human rights community isn't there," said Phil Robertson, deputy director of the Asia division of Human Rights Watch.
"When we talk about human rights issues in southeast Asia, much of the pressure and leverage comes from governments and UN agencies. During the Obama administration, the US was in the middle of those fights," Robertson said. "All of these countries were feeling an active, engaged policy by the US on human rights issues and now that has all evaporated." | [

Master weaver Prakash Siju from Bhujodi in Kutch is breathing new life into the age-old tradition of carpet weaving practised by giving it a new look through 'Project Tarasha'.
The Rann of Kutch is a mine of age-old craftsmanship nourished by the varied skills of its diverse communities. One of these is a unique form of carpet weaving called the extra weft technique. It’s an old, tried and tested formula, but Bhujodi-based Prakash Siju of Kutchi Carpets (whose family has been doing this for 11 generations now), has been busy updating patterns and colours to make them appropriate for modern homes.
There, he displayed new patterns created as part of his collaboration with Project Tarasha, a social initiative that brings craftpreneurs from India’s rural hinterlands to the fore. “Generally, carpets are meant for floors, but in this collaboration, we worked on a unique upholstery concept where the carpet can be used as a chair cover,” he says.
Another collection was based on the woollen ludi (veil), which is embroidered with medallions and used by Kacchi women. Siju has converted these old motifs for his contemporary carpets. “We try to come up with unique ideas that seamlessly fit into modern homes yet hold traditional values. With the support of local NGOs, we join exhibitions to push the envelope by developing unique products for the market,” he adds.
It is a time-consuming process, he says. Whatever design they decide to weave, the first step is sourcing raw materials such as yarn and making organic dyes. The next step is starching the thread, so that it stays stiff on the loom. All this is done by the women of the household and takes about a week or so. Men do the actual weaving, the duration of which depends on the size of the carpet. Sometimes a week, sometimes more.
Siju learnt weaving from his father, who was himself a master weaver. After the disastrous earthquake in 2001, several NGOs came up across the city, and along with the government, they reached out to the weavers to expand the craft of the land.
Today, the team at Kutchi Carpets comprises Siju, his parents, wife and younger brother––a team, which like many others in his region, has been able to reach out to retail markets in the US, UK and Canada, all that thanks to globalisation.

Spectra of baryons containing two heavy quarks
- 44 Downloads
Doubly heavy baryons, i.e., the baryons containing two heavy quarks are treated in the adiabatic approximation, considering the motion of the light quark as a relativistic motion. The binding energy and mass spectra of doubly heavy baryons are calculated solving the two-center Dirac equation the one-centre Schrödinger equation for Coulomb plus linear potential. The binding energy of the light quark as a function of the distance between heavy quarks is found.

The cases surrounding fraud are quite complex. Beyond the types and paperwork you need to file, there are items that can only be done by a professional bankruptcy lawyer. Although certain individuals choose to apply for bankruptcy on their own, it is often better to seek financial help from a bankruptcy lawyer. Visit Butcher Law Office, LLC-Bankruptcy Attorney.
If you want to make sure your bankruptcy filing is trouble-free, you should consider seriously getting an attorney who can help you throughout the entire process. And here’s the five reasons you need a bankruptcy solicitor.
When the situation is complex, legal resources are important
If you have loads of properties such as homes, real estate, industrial buildings, or cars, so you would definitely require a bankruptcy lawyer’s assistance. When you have land, there are plenty of documentations you need to do. A bankruptcy specialist will secure your properties by making sure that you will apply for the right form of insolvency.
Legal resources are particularly critical where several borrowers have a large amount of debt. Might cause you a major headache while coping with many situations. In fact, the investors are bound to have attorneys that would sue you. It would be best if you also have your own attorney to properly protect your interest and effectively push through with your bankruptcy plans.
Bankruptcy lawyers can make the legal burden lighter
Filing for bankruptcy is not as simple as filing your tax returns. There are lots of legal documents, affidavits, and forms to write and file. You are already burdened with debt so why add more headaches when you can easily delegate these filings to your lawyer.
Additionally, bankruptcy courts are very strict about proper documentation. There are stringent laws covering any form of submission to bankruptcy. You can save yourself from the trouble of having issues with the courts by hiring an attorney to deal with your bankruptcy case.
At trials, you may require a prosecutor to defend you
If you apply for bankruptcy, multiple meetings for you and your creditors will be held for the US Bankruptcy Court, liable for the lawsuit. During these trials you would definitely meet top-caliber lawyers.
When you have an advocate you can deal with your creditors aggressively. The counsel may be willing to secure fair terms from arbitration. Essentially, your attorney’s services might help in saving some of your assets.
Your lawyer can dispense with your creditors
Your creditors lose their right to collect payments from you when you file for bankruptcy until the case is settled. They are even barred from approaching you and you have the freedom to dismiss them and have the counsel negotiate with the creditors.
There are also investors who can circumvent the rule by violating the court’s mandatory stay procedure. During such a situation, a bankruptcy counsel will potentially prohibit a creditors from trying to undermine your bankruptcy petition.
The procedures for bankruptcy are very complicated. That’s why you do need a bankruptcy solicitor who can talk you through the entire insolvency filing phase. | [

A win against Juventus is worth a thousand trophies for Fiorentina, such is the hatred they have for their rivals from Turin.
"I saw people who were 40 or 50, they wept and the emotion was incredible," Giuseppe Rossi said in a recent interview. This was the man who gifted them an improbable win, scoring a hat trick to ensure a 4-2 victory against Juventus in October last season.
As Angelo Di Livio -- a player who featured for both clubs -- says, this match is more important than any other for a Viola fan. They simply despise the Old Lady, a club they believe lack ethics.

When Zara McFarlane visited Jamaica, the country of her parents' birth, in 2018 it was initially for research into a possible musical.
That project is now on hold but what the multi-award-winning jazz vocalist came back with was a deeper understanding of her roots and the musical traditions of her parents' homeland.
It led to her new album - Songs of an Unknown Tongue - telling the story of Jamaica’s history as an English colony for hundreds of years, slavery and eventual independence.
She was able to incorporate the ancient rhythms of Jamaica into her new music which was gratifying but learning about the island's colonial history made an even bigger impression.
It’s not something she learned at school, and she says for young people today Britain’s colonial past is a vital lesson.
She said teaching this history should be made compulsory in schools.
The singer, who won a prestigious Mobo Award in 2014, previously tackled issues of race and black identity in her last album Arise.
Songs of an Unknown Tongue delves deeper, with tracks like Black Treasure confronting the exploitation of people by the British Empire.
Growing up in East London, McFarlane said racist abuse was the norm for her, but that if young people had learned about why black and Asian people are in Britain, it would have made a difference.
The release of her new album was brought forward as its issues are very much the conversation of the moment, in the wake of the Black Lives Matter protests.
She has just started exploring her roots she says, and it is a journey she will continue.
Her music will reflect what she finds. | [

Equivalent Method: - This method is used to convert the entire distribution system of pipes to equivalent pipe, which carries the discharge corresponding to the same head loss.
Hardy-Cross Method: - This method is used to find the discharges in the unknown pipes using the equation of continuity. It only calculates discharges and the method remains the same whether domestic supply or fire demand considered or not.
Electrical Analysis: - This method establishes the analogy between the flow of fluid and the flow of current. As per the electrical analysis, the greater is the resistance lesser will be the flow. Similarly, the greater the head loss, the lesser will be the flow of fluid.
Circle Method:- This method is used for the analysis of the distribution system in which domestic supply is neglected and fire demand is considered. | [

20 Jul Jalalabad’s “Grab-Town” a Difficult Case of Illegal Settlement and Land Dispute
Posted at 10:36h in Blogs
In March this year, as we started our study on urban governance in Jalalabad, one of our first tasks was selecting an interesting site. We chose Qasimabad, and the findings from our research there shed light on many issues related to informal settlements in urban contexts.
There are more than 4,000 plots of land in Qasimabad, which is roughly 1.5 square kilometres. Since the fall of the Taliban, this once-empty area has changed significantly, with a lot of informal settlement and development. A plot there initially cost US$80-160 but now they go for more than $2000. You can see a picture of Qasimabad here.
Qasimabad is located in Behsud District, five kilometres north of Jalalabad city. This site was first selected as a potential satellite township as part of a master-plan developed during the 1970s, while Daoud Khan was prime minister. The site was marked as a reserve space for future urbanisation. If population pressure on Jalalabad city rose too much, this town would be developed to increase residential capacity and thus help city residents avoid problems caused by high population densities.
Unfortunately, due to three decades of war, the plan to urbanise and expand Jalalabad city as envisioned in the 1970s was never implemented. However, after the collapse of Taliban regime a large number of refugees returned from Pakistan and Iran, with many employment opportunities, investments and donor funds following the ISAF/NATO intervention. At this time, the price of land suddenly shot up. As a result, people who had the support of some influential local commanders quickly took over land in the vicinity of Jalalabad.
This phenomenon was common all over Afghanistan. In response, in June 2002 a decree was sent by the transitional administration to all provinces, declaring:
“The distribution of vacant and non-cultivated lands, which are government property, to people as construction plots for residential and other purposes should be strictly avoided” (Article 1).
Fear of government action initially kept the process slow, but people soon realised that government attention was not focused on the issue, and settlement activity became more rapid. People from other districts and provinces as well as from the local area started constructing houses without any legal consent but with the support of local commanders and tribal leaders. The Ministry of Justice gazetted another law on land affairs in 2008 in an attempt to get a handle on such issues, but it had little effect in Qasimabad.
Meanwhile, the local government made a plan for the distribution of land to disabled people, teachers, ulema and other government employees, without considering the issue of land grabbing and informal construction. It changed the name from Qasimabad to Hajji Qadeer Town and sold each plot for 38,500 Afs (approximately $800). Those who paid up received legal documents from Jalalabad municipality. Last year the municipality received 33 million Afs from Qasimabad and will probably make another 30 million (approximately $650,000) this year.
An acute problem soon arose with many plots having two claimants—one informal settler and another with the legal document. The local government has proven very interested in selling land and generating revenue, but the issue of legal ownership and informal occupation remains unsolved.
Today, the residents of Qasimabad city can be categorised into four main groups:
1. A group of people from Kunar Province who bought the land from a local commander
2. A group of people allied with a local Nangarhari commander
3. Settlers from the same Behsud District and nearby Daman Village
4. A limited number of legal owners
During data collection in Qasimabad, one respondent said, “Legal owners are like uninvited guests at a party, who don’t have the courage to eat.” Another said, “I paid the price three years ago but still I’m living in a rented house.”
People have demonstrated and met with officials from the governor down to try to solve their problems, but to no avail. The governor promised some petitioners that alternative plots would be provided to them, but these pledges have amounted to nothing—like words carved in ice and put under the sun.
Some legal owners started negotiations with settlers on their own and managed to take control of their land by giving them some money. However, only a few pursued this method successfully. Meanwhile, conflict among residents of Qasimabad for control of more space has caused the killing of several people and many injuries.
I think it will be very difficult for the local government to evict the settlers and give the plots to the legal owners. Currently, demonstrations have become a fashion in Afghanistan, and there are also international human rights groups and local | [

Sample Size Needed to Demonstrate Bioequivalence for Narrow Therapeutic Index Drugs: Modeling Based Method
PRESENTED TO: BioPharma Services Inc.
PRESENTED BY: Y. DING, J. HE, P. PEQUENO, F. TRABELSI
Sample Size Needed to Demonstrate Bioequivalence for Narrow Therapeutic Index Drugs: Modeling Based Method – Sample size calculation plays an important role in pharmaceutical research and development as it allows to have adequate statistical power to draw appropriate conclusions. For Highly variable drug (HVD), the reference scaled average bioequivalence (SABE) is now commonly used and deemed helpful for HVD meet the acceptance criteria. For narrow therapeutic index (NTI) drug, the acceptance criteria are tightened by the regulatory agencies as small differences in dose or blood/plasma concentration may impact significantly on efficacy and/or safety.
The sample size for NTI could be very large when we use the traditional approach-including power, intra-subject coefficient variability (ISCV), ratio for formulations and confidence interval 90%-111% as requested by many agencies.
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently published new draft bioequivalence guidance on the requirement for warfarin formulations, which is considered a NTI drug, and the proposed approach is also the reference SABE where the criteria will be tightened in relationship to the variability of the reference product. In other words, the reference scaling is expected to be down for NTI. How does this new approach impact the sample size estimation?
Our research applied the proposed FDA approach using 4-way, 2-sequence, fully replicated crossover design to simulate data with different sample sizes at different levels of ISCV of 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 22% using thousands of simulations. The objective is to assess the most adequate estimation of the sample size which will give sufficient statistical power to demonstrate BE for NTI drugs

The Michigan Department of Education (MDE) with support from the Michigan Health Endowment Fund (the Health Fund), has created a network to broaden and deepen social and emotional learning (SEL) and child mental health practices across the state.
The network will help to increase professional development opportunities for school staff—including school health coordinators, school counselors, school psychologists, educators and administrators—in SEL best practices. SEL is comprised of five competencies: self-awareness, awareness of others, self-management, relationship to others and decision making.
“This work is essential and consistent with the state’s strategic education plan in promoting the health, safety and wellness for all of our children, both physically and socio-emotionally,” Dr. Casandra Ulbrich, State Board of Education president, said in a press release.
The Health Fund has provided MDE with a $500,000 grant to help school districts better embed SEL in classroom instruction and out-of-school time. MDE will partner with 20 districts in these efforts, selected through a competitive application.
“We are building on the important efforts from the last several years and making them into a more cohesive initiative that will affect a broader range of interested schools, school districts, children and staff,” Dr. Michael Rice, state superintendent said.
This is just the latest effort from the Health Fund to support student mental health and SEL during the pandemic and beyond.
As CMF reported in April, the Health Fund provided support to Manistee Area Public Schools for online and teletherapy for students.
Several CMF members have supported the University of Michigan’s Transforming Research into Action to Improve the Lives of Students (TRAILS) program, which provides mental health resources to schools across the state. TRAILS is supported by the Health Fund, the Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan Foundation, the Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan, the Children’s Foundation, the Ethel & James Flinn Foundation and The Jewish Fund.
In June, four CMF members—The Ethel & James Flinn Foundation, The Skillman Foundation, the Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan and the Health Fund—partnered with the Detroit Wayne Integrated Health Network (DWIHN) to launch the Detroit COVID-19 Therapy Collaborative, a platform providing therapy and behavioral health resources for children and families ages 14 years and older.
“We’ve never experienced this before. We’re facing so much uncertainty, and we shouldn’t have to do it alone,” Andrea Cole, executive director and CEO of the Ethel and James Flinn Foundation said. “This is a trying time for all of us, but especially for young people who may already be struggling with mental health issues.”

Forbes Deletes Article by Education Expert Asserting That Forcing Children to Wear Masks Causes Psychological Trauma
All dissent must be banished
Paul Joseph Watson
Forbes deleted an article written by an education expert who asserted that forcing schoolchildren to wear face masks was causing psychological trauma after the piece began to go viral.
The article (archived here) was written by Zak Ringelstein, who has a a PhD in education from Columbia University and founded Zigadoo, an educational and development app aimed at helping children.
Ringelstein (pictured) explains how he worked hard to remove standardized testing from schools but that this was derailed when the pandemic began, a process that “transformed the American public education system into something unrecognizable: a system of restrictions and mandates far more repressive than standardized testing ever was.”
Ringelstein attacked the notion that “kids are resilient” and can overcome the onerous COVID rules imposed on them by asserting, “Masks and social distancing induce trauma and trauma at a young age is developmentally dangerous, especially for children who are experiencing trauma in other parts of their lives.”
He went further, noting how the new measures were creating classrooms full of lonely, atomized kids.
“Students in most American classrooms now must wear a covering over their face and stay distanced from their peers the entire school day. In many schools, students are forced to play by themselves during recess. Even for the youngest of school children, desks are in rows. Kids can’t see each other’s smiles or learn critically important social and verbal skills.”
Noting how “a child’s current chance of death from Covid-19 in America is lower than their chance of dying from a lightning strike or car accident,” Ringelstein argued that the risk of children getting ill is far outweighed by the psychological trauma caused by social distancing rules.
“Neurological research demonstrates that kids who experience this kind of fear and trauma at a young age undergo structural and functional restructuring of their brain’s prefrontal cortex, resulting in emotional and cognitive processing problems,” he writes.
“Furthermore, children in masks who are socially distanced are more likely to lead a sedentary lifestyle at school and home, and therefore are also more likely to become both obese and depressed. Obesity disproportionately affects children from low-income backgrounds and can lead to lifelong health challenges that often result in early death. Tragically, the prevalence of clinical depression and anxiety have already doubled for children globally since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic and will likely worsen with continued restrictions.”
“Children in masks are also likely to miss out on critical language development, another fundamental area of growth in early years where children from low-income backgrounds already have disproportionate disadvantages.”
Presumably because Ringelstein dared to challenge the sanity of forcing kids to mask up, Forbes pulled the article after it had begun to get traction via social media.
Not even experts in education who intimately know how children are impacted by trauma are allowed to offer a whimper of dissent against the COVID orthodoxy that demands ruthless ideological compliance.
Any information that challenges mask zealots must be banished.
As we recently highlighted, a study by researchers at Brown University found that mean IQ scores of young children born during the pandemic have tumbled by as much as 22 points while verbal, motor and cognitive performance have all suffered as a result of lockdown.
Michael Curzon noted that two of the primary causes for this are face masks and children being atomized as a result of being kept away from other children.
“Children born over the past year of lockdowns – at a time when the Government has prevented babies from seeing elderly relatives and other extended family members, from socialising at parks or with the children of their parent’s friends, and from studying the expressions on the faces behind the masks of locals in indoor public spaces – have significantly reduced verbal, motor and overall cognitive performance compared to children born before, according to a new U.S. study. Tests on early learning, verbal development and non-verbal development all produced results that were far behind those from the years preceding the lockdowns,” he wrote.

What is the best way to get rid of moss in dirt and flower beds and keep it gone? I live in Washington state and our yard is mostly shady with many fir trees. Can I use a lawn moss killer with nitrogen and iron? Should I be using a pre-emergent like Caseron? The moss is also invading our lawn even after we had it professionally killed, thatched and reseeded. How do I get the soil tested for pH? I’m thinking I need to add lime to raise the pH from all the acidic fir needles over the years.
King County Washington
Hi—Yep—moss in lawns can be a real problem up here in the PNW. So here are the recommendations from WSU—Moss usually grows in areas where the soil fertility is low, the acidity is high, where the soil is poorly drained and/or compacted, or not watered properly during the summer months. So the first thing to do is to PREVENT it—which you’ll want to do once you fix the problem. Maintain a healthy, vigorously growing lawn by irrigating, fertilizing, and cutting it properly. Take steps to make sure your lawn has good drainage. Hand –raking to remove the moss will also help to control it. And I can’t stress this last one enough: Get a soil test. We’ve been recommending Simply Soil testing (http://www.simplysoiltesting.com/Services.html--order the S5 test $24) OR A&L Western Laboratories http://www.al-labs-west.com/fee-schedule.php?section=Soil%20 Analysis Sc3 with recommendations $35).

‘Better Off With You’ stops people feeling like a burden
IF THE answer to the question 'Are you OK?' is no, the greater Mackay region may be the best place in Australia to find help.
Two Mackay-based suicide prevention groups have been recognised for their lifesaving services at today's national LiFE Award, from Suicide Prevention Australia.
SANE Australia chief executive officer Jack Heath said the six-week pilot program, which was run exclusively in Mackay, Whitsunday and Isaac region and Sydney's Northern Beaches, was an innovative, evidence-informed suicide prevention campaign using real peoples' stories.
Mr Heath said the campaign used social media, radio, television and outdoor advertising to tell the stories of residents who had experienced suicidal thoughts and how they came to see things differently.
"There are more than 500,000 Australians alive today who have attempted suicide at some stage in their lives," Mr Heath said.
"Sadly, we know that for many people who attempt or go on to take their own lives, feeling like a burden can be a major contributing factor."
"When you feel like a burden, it's easy to lose perspective of the positive things you bring to the lives of those around you."
Mr Heath said it was important to involve those with a lived experience of suicide or suicide ideation to shine the light and help save lives.
"We are thankful for the Media LiFE Award in recognising the Better Off With You campaign, and hope it opens up conversations about feeling like a burden which is an aspect of suicidal thinking which is not often discussed."
Suicide Prevention Australia noted that by speaking directly to those who themselves may be contemplating taking their own lives, the campaign broke new ground.
SPA said it could be used to reach those who are experiencing suicidal thoughts across a much larger region.
Mr Heath said the pilot also included a research component to ensure safety, measure impact and inform future national suicide prevention activities.
When Grapevine Group was nominated, president Debbie Knight said while the work was never done for accolades, she was delighted the efforts of Grapevine's volunteers had not gone unnoticed.
Ms Knight said the locally founded charity had trained more than 5600 people in the Mackay region in suicide prevention, distributed more than 200,000 Help-a-Mate cards listing local services and was part of a $20,000 CQUniversity suicide research project. | [

Charlie Sheen and Brooke Mueller Not Seeking a Divorce
Despite rampant rumors, the couple has no plans to split, according to both camps
Though their reps have admitted that Charlie Sheen and wife Brooke Mueller are having marital issues, they are still trying to make their relationship work.
“Please let us clarify this: They are not seeking a divorce nor has one been contemplated,” according to a joint statement released Monday by Mueller s attorney, Yale Galanter, and Sheen s longtime friend and Two and a Half Men executive producer, Mark Burg.
Furthermore, “there has been no financial agreements between the parties of any sort. Stories to the contrary are false,” says the statement.
“This is a difficult time and they need space to see if they can work things out or not,” Yale tells PEOPLE.
RELATED: Brooke Mueller and Charlie Sheen Living Apart
Scrutiny surrounding the couple s marriage started after a Christmastime incident in Aspen, Colo., when Sheen allegedly threatened his wife and was arrested on domestic violence charges.
Though Sheen and Mueller are currently residing apart, they are making every effort to work through this rough patch in their relationship and are putting their family – including 13 month-old twin sons Bob and Max – first.
The couple ask that their privacy be respected during this time.

Time to rething Celibacy?
Posted by: Satyanand Das (this article originally appeared here: celibatemonk.com
On 2 June 2012, during the 7th world Meeting of Families held in Milan Cathedral, Pope Benedict XVI reiterated the Catholic Church’s age-old stand on celibacy: “Without a doubt, Jesus’ love is for all Christians but takes on particular significance for the celibate priest and for those who take up the vocation of a life of devotion.” The pope’s remarks gained the media spotlight in the wake of sex scandals which has rocked the Church. Though the battle raging within the catholic world—between the proponents and opponents of priestly celibacy—has been perennial, the issue now sticks out like a sore thumb.
I first read about the celibacy-struggle of the Catholic Church in an old magazine I found in my bookshelf; the article was titled ‘Celibacy—Exquisite Torture, or a “Yes to God”?’ The author Ravindra Svarupa Das, a renowned spiritualist, spoke of the precarious situation of the seminarians in a seminary he had visited:
In the course of our discussion, I finally asked one of the smokers (who was a seminarian), “Do you really find that impossible to give up? I wasn’t prepared for his answer—or for the vehemence of it.
“If I could just take a girl out on Saturday night, he exclaimed, “instead of having to sit around here, crawling up the walls, I might not have to smoke!” There were murmurs of assent. And with much bitterness and resentment, they began criticizing the celibacy rule.
I was appalled by the amount of sexual frustration these men were giving voice to. So I started to question them about their life in the seminary, and it soon became quite clear why they were having such immense difficulty. To begin with, they had large stretches of idle time on their hands. And then, they freely read novels and magazines, habitually watched television. All these activities certainly agitated their senses….They had lots of idle time, their senses were kept continuously under the bombardment of materialistic stimulation, and then—they were told to be celibate!
At the risk of sounding overly conservative, this definition frees a celibate from a lot of sexual frustration, by imposing a lifestyle that keeps all sexual stimulants at bay. For, refraining from sex while gorging on sex appetizers—isn’t that torturous?
Traditionally in India the norm was, a celibate student or brahmachari stayed at the guru’s ashram or monastery. There he was facilitated with a lifestyle that supported his vows. To begin with, only those serious about celibacy and convinced of the benefits of it were offered the brahmachari ashram facility, for celibacy can be joyous only when practiced willingly; the celibates were provided with a packed disciplined life of absorption in devotion, for the idle mind is devil’s workshop; the celibates were provided with time, resources and inspiration to pore over the scriptures, for philosophical conviction is necessary to overcome temptations; and most importantly, the celibates were engaged in devotional activities that provided them a higher taste of pleasure, for only a higher taste can be a lasting substitute for the lower taste of sex pleasure. Those who found continence torturous despite the protective ambience were honest about it and moved out to get married; no question of leading a frustrated life of self-deceit.
The Vedic set-up was beautiful: those who aspired to remain celibates for a dedicated life of devotion knew the monastery imposed discipline to help them grow spiritually, and the monastery facilitated for a joyous celibate life rather than merely sermon the glories of celibacy. An incident last summer filled me with hope, as it indicated that our monastery was edging closer to this ideal standard under the guidance of Radhanath Swami. At our ashram situated in south Mumbai, every morning the monks have to reach the meditation hall by 5:00 a.m. and for years their attendance was monitored. Last summer monitoring stopped. The monks protested, demanding that monitoring start again. “I can’t trust my mind. If there isn’t monitoring, I might continue sleeping and miss the morning meditation. Then, my spiritual life will be stunted!” exclaimed a monk. The leaders on the other hand urged the monks to put their hearts into the morning meditation; the joy they derived from that should drive them rather than a monitoring system. It was another step taken by the monastery to inspire the monks to go deeper into their practices and lead a joyous celibate life. Our monastery still has a long way to go, but incidents such as this show that the | [

The Greek government, in what has become known as the Varoufakis email, put forward its plan for much needed reforms. The proposals include a commitment to:
Combat tax evasion
Introduce collective bargaining, stopping short of raising the minimum wage immediately
Tackle Greece’s “humanitarian crisis” with housing guarantees and free medical care for the uninsured unemployed, with no overall public spending increase
Reform public sector wages to avoid further wage cuts, without increasing overall wage bill
Reduce the target for primary surplus
Achieve pensions savings by consolidating funds and eliminating incentives for early retirement – not cutting payments
Reduce the number of ministries from 16 to 10, cutting special advisers and fringe benefits for officials.
The government also made a commitment not to roll back already introduced privatisations, provided that proper procedure has been folloewed and that they comply with Greek and European law. | [

Seongnam: Coach Kim Hak-bum was left lamenting his Seongnam FC side’s goalless stalemate with Guangzhou R&F on Tuesday evening but insisted that there is still all to play for in Group F of the 2015 AFC Champions League.
With two games remaining the group is tight. Seongnam are level on points at the top alongside Thailand’s Buriram United, three clear of Guangzhou R&F of China and J.League treble winners Gamba Osaka.
However, while the day’s later game saw Gamba defeat Buriram in an exciting 2-1 win for the Japanese club at Buriram Stadium, the affair at Tancheon Sports Complex was of a cagier nature; although Seongnam had the better chances, finishing the game strongly as both teams started to tire.
Match report: Seongnam FC 0-0 Guangzhou R&F
"The players worked really hard in what was a tough game. We wanted to win in front of our own fans and it is frustrating that we were unable to do so,” said Seongnam coach Kim.
“We played well in defence and midfield and in the last 25 minutes especially, we did enough to win the game but were just not able to get the goal. It was frustrating but we move on."
Kim is already looking ahead to the clash with Buriram in two weeks' time in a game that will be crucial in deciding who progresses to the last 16.
"We lost 2-1 in Thailand and we want to pay them back for that but we know that this is a very tight group and it will not be settled until the very end,” he added.
Despite just four points from four games, opposite number Cosmin Contra is not giving up hope of his Guangzhou side progressing to the knockout sage of the tournament.
"I want to congratulate my players for a good and well-fought game. one in which both teams had opportunities," said former Romania international Contra, whose side will take on Gamba in southern China in a fortnight.
"Mathematically, we are still very much in with a chance. I trust my players to do what needs to be done and they don't need to be told as to hơw important the remaining two games are.
“If we play like we did tonight then, although we đidn't win, we have a good chance." | [

Those Annoying Household Chores Might Keep Alzheimer’s At Bay
Apr 30, 2012 13:40
Studies have shown that vigorous exercise might help delay the onset of Alzheimer's, but not everyone is looking forward to spending their golden years jogging, swimming or brisk walking. For those too frail or out of shape. a new study has found that even mundane, low-key tasks like gardening, cooking and washing dishes can lower the risk of Alzheimer’s, provided that you do it often enough.
The study published in the journal Neurology looked at 716 dementia-free men and women in their 70s and 80s for a period of 4 years. To help monitor their total everyday activity, each were given a motion-sensitive, wristwatch-like device to wear 24 hours a day for up to 10 days.
Compared with the most active people, those with the lowest levels of overall physical activity had more than double the risk of going on to develop Alzheimer’s. Greater physical activity was also associated with a slower rate of aging-related memory and cognitive decline. Says lead author Dr. Aron S. Buchman (via TIME's Healthland):
“You don’t have to get a membership in the local YMCA. If you walk up some more steps, stand up and do the dishes more, you stand to benefit because it’s incremental and adds up over the course of a full day.”
Of course, while this type of nonexercise activity can be beneficial, the study findings still suggested that exercise was the way to go in order to keep your brain in tip-top shape.

Best Of Amazon Christmas Wreaths - This is created by firstly bending a regular coat hanger into a circle. This is a good help in the past the jacket hanger has a natural hook at the summit which can be used to hang the wreath after it is completed. Differing strengths of wire can easily be purchased at your local hardware retailer. subsequently you have 2 fixed circles of wire allied together it can have the funds for a surprisingly durable framework for heavier floral wreath materials such as pine cones, dried apples, or even evergreens. Thinner professional florist wiring should be used for a more delicate wreaths, for example, for making a crown of cherry blossoms or red peonies. If you desire to camouflage the wire wreath base, you may want to try wrapping the wire in the same way as decorative ribbon or collection from a florist.
Creating one behind a wire base will permit you to mount up floral materials in clumps or small bundles. You do this by accretion a bunch of flowers, and/or bits of greenery, and placing them onto the wire frame. You quickly follow that by using a thin, variable florist's wire to secure them in place. interest note that you shouldn't attempt to cut the wire at this point, but rather overlap the joining portion gone sever cluster of flowers and/or greens and continue to wrap your way, in a round motion, approximately the entire frame.
There are some who prefer their poppy wreaths, whose materials are organized in a continuous circle, like all the clusters facing towards the thesame direction. In order to unlimited this type wreath requires you to tuck the joining share of the end cluster under the 1st cluster. Furthermore, in extra types of poppies wreaths, you may choose to proceed by the side of both sides to have the bundles meet at the bottom. similar to this particular arrangement, it will cause a bare spot to appear which can easily be covered up placing a ribbon or a braid/bow of your existing floral materials.
These are typically quite delicate and are often used for much lighter materials such as bird feathers or ivy leaves. One mannerism on the subject of this is to use a answer piece of wire and thread it directly through larger materials such as red chillis or even apples, in a lengthwise position, to fabricate attractive and intriguing poppy wreaths.

Podcasts are something I will get into sooner or later, I’ve missed the boat so far, but I was thinking…
As far as I know, if you subscribe to a podcast, if there is any new entries it will already be downloaded into the podcast feed, somehow you then load it into your mp3 player…seems easy enough.
I’m not sure if mp3 players can read text, but what about loading just a normal RSS feed into your mp3 player, then you can read the text of the latest feed content.
If you have a desktop RSS Reader on your mobile gadget (if there is one, I’m sure there is), you would have to launch to the internet so your RSS Reader can grab all the content, and then you can go back offline to read it all…cheaper than using a web-based RSS Reader from your mobile….but this method requires your mobile to have an internet connection.
What I’m saying is that you don’t need a mobile desktop RSS Reader, all you need to do is download the latest feed content from your computer into your mobile handset…then you can read a text version of the latest feed content.
Not sure if you need a program to read text, I’m sure it will already be built into the handset, I mean when you download the feed content, it can be in text format eg. SMS.

After a three-year investigation, New York Democratic Attorney General Letitia James filed a civil lawsuit against former President Donald Trump on Wednesday.
“This complaint shows that Donald Trump has fraudulently inflated his net worth by billions of dollars, unfairly enriched himself and cheated the system,” James said at a press conference..
In a statement posted on the Truth social media site, Trump denounced the lawsuit as “another witch hunt” that he said was motivated by James’ bid for re-election.
“She is a scammer who campaigned on the ‘Get Trump’ platform,” Trump wrote.
The lawsuit also targets members of Trump’s longtime management team, including members of the family of Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump, and Eric Trump.
In response to the lawsuit, Donald Trump Jr. used swearing on Twitter next to James’ video: “Bullshit Democrat witch hunt continues!”
Eric Trump also posted on the Truth social media site accusing James of partisan attacks.
At a press conference, James admitted she would face criticism that her case was partisan. It started after I testified,” he said.
According to James, Trump’s operations “repeatedly and consistently manipulated the value of assets” to win favorable loan terms from banks and reduce tax payments.
“All of this action violated New York State law,” James said.
Lawsuit Bans Trump from Doing Business in NY
James is seeking a fine of around $250 million and a permanent ban on Trump, his children and members of the management team from doing business in New York state.
The lawsuit also seeks to bar the former president and his organization from purchasing commercial real estate in New York for five years.
The lawsuit has been filed in civil court, but James also argued that Trump’s manipulation violated state and federal criminal law. She said a criminal inquiry has been sent to the U.S. Department of Justice.
In a post on Twitter, James wrote, “Basically, he lied to get a huge financial gain for himself.
At a press conference, James said Trump repeatedly exercised his Fifth Amendment right to avoid testifying when testifying under oath during the investigation.
She also said before Wednesday’s announcement that her office had rejected a settlement offer from Trump and his organization.
How Trump’s alleged scheme worked
James has said he has “severely” inflated the market value of real estate Trump owns in New York and Florida, including “showing he has cash on hand that Mr. Trump doesn’t have.” It detailed Trump’s business practices, which she claims are fraudulent..
The lawsuit cites, as an example, Trump’s estate at 40 Wall Street in Manhattan.
Trump’s team is said to have repeatedly received property value estimates between $200 million and $220 million from professional appraisers.
Then, according to the lawsuit, the Trump organization inflated the value of its assets to more than $500 million in statements to unfairly profit from lenders and insurance companies doing business with Trump’s firm.
According to James, the act was clearly fraudulent and not done in error.
“The exaggerated property values in the statement cannot be dismissed or excused as the result of mere exaggeration,” the lawsuit states. “Rather, they are the result of defendants’ exploitation of objectively false assumptions and blatantly inappropriate methodologies.”
Posting on Truth Social, Trump said James was “fighting for very powerful and well-represented banks and insurance companies. They got paid in full, made a lot of money and complained about me.” It never happened…” he complained.
Trump also described James, who is black, as “racist” and called her “peek-a-boo” James.
The lawsuit also targets Allen Weisselberg, who served as the Trump Organization’s chief financial officer. Weisselberg’s attorney, Mary Mulligan, declined NPR’s request for comment.
The lawsuit announced Wednesday is just the latest in a long list of legal and financial challenges facing Trump, his organization, and his family.
Another criminal trial against Trump’s firm and Weisselberg is set to begin next month, filed by the Manhattan District Attorney.
As part of that proceeding, Weisselberg has pleaded guilty to numerous felonies and is expected to testify. | [

TOKYO (July 26, 2021) – THine Electronics, Inc. (“THine”), the global leading semiconductor company focusing on high-speed serial interfaces and image signal processing as well as providing AI and IoT solutions, today announces that from this July it starts delivering customer samples of its new high-speed interface product, THCV244A-QP, capable to receive up to four automotive camera image data of 1080p full HD video at 60 fps by V-by-One® HS technology. THine’s chip set of V-by-One® HS transmitter such as THCV241A and its new receiver THCV244A-QP only requires the industry lowest level power consumption in automotive camera image transmission. THCV244A-QP also has enhanced noise tolerance feature.
Nowadays, while MIPI® CSI-2 interface is commonly adopted for automotive image sensors that output large volume of image data with high definition and high frame rate, image transmitting distance is limited to short distance, such as a few tens of centimeters. THine’s chip set of THCV241A and THCV244A-QP can extend the data transmitting length for 15 meters and more since image data with MIPI® CSI-2 interface can be converted to V-by-One® HS interface by THCV241A at the transmitting boards and converted again to MIPI® CSI-2 interface by THCV244A-QP at the receiving boards.
THCV244A-QP is applicable to automotive surround view system with four cameras, and various multiple camera applications such as ADAS cameras, e-mirrors, and driver monitoring systems, and drive recorders.
Also THCV244A-QP can transmit aggregated data of multiple camera data that enables to save image signal processing SoC’s limited ports usage effectively. Moreover, THine’s V-by-One® HS transmitter such as THCV241A and THCV244A-QP include bridge function of GPIO wire serial interface for controlling image sensors, it is possible to control operation of the image sensor transmitting control signals from image signal processing SoC.
In addition to automotive application, THine’s chip set solution with THCV244A-QP is applicable to industrial 4K dual cameras such as surveillance cameras, camera applications with artificial intelligence, drone cameras, 360 degree cameras, unmanned payment terminal cameras, etc.
THine continuously contributes to customers through its value for customers, providing new products and solutions, especially for supporting the new normal of remote communication, unmanned use cases, mobility systems, etc.

Whenever I go to the jail to teach a large group the Chaplain points me in one of two directions. Most of the time there are other ministers conducting services there at the same time; so he tells us where he wants us to go. For the past 3 or 4 months I have been in the vending room but tonight he sent me around back.
There were about 30 guys there tonight which is about average I guess, and they all seemed to be attentive to what I was saying. Sometimes they are a little distracted but tonight everyone appeared focused.
I passed out the sign up sheet and just waited as the guard rounded up several more men from other cells. After they came in and sat down; the door shut, and I introduced myself. After we prayed I told them to look in the Gospel of John chapter 14 and told them we would be looking in 14, 15 and 16 tonight.
I started by sharing a quick version of my testimony. I told them about how I never really doubted that there was a God, but I just didn’t see how that meant anything to me down here. I mean God’s way up there somewhere and apparently it’s up to me to make this life thing work. I simply had no concept of God actually being present in the here and now. Somehow the message I had received was one day I will have to deal with God but for now I’m on my own.
Before I started to read scripture I just sort of shared how the disciples seemed to always be confused about Jesus. He would say things like “My flesh is real meat and my blood is real drink.” He told them “I’m going away but don’t worry, I’ll be back, but the world won’t see me but you will see me because I go to the Father.” The disciples seemed to always be confused and have to ask each other “What is he saying?” Then they would turn to Jesus and ask “Please explain this to me.” From time to time Jesus would respond “How long must I be with you?” Jesus would talk Spirit and the disciples couldn’t understand because they didn’t yet have the Spirit.
Not understanding God, Jesus, and the Bible etc. is exactly where I was for a long time so I could relate to the disciples in their confusion. I asked the guys if they knew where I was coming from. Several of them shook their heads and agreed; as I read to them several verses in John 14 about Jesus’ promise of a helper. He said the Spirit of God would not only be with the disciples, but he would be in them.
Although the disciples didn’t want Jesus to leave he reassured them it would be better for them if he went away. Jesus was telling them they would indeed be better because the helper he would send wouldn’t just be beside them but he would indwell them. They would never ever be left alone afterwards. This is the part I didn’t get in my childhood. I didn’t know about the Helper and that’s why I thought it was all up to me to make my life work. I thank God now I do know the Helper.
As we finished up and we were walking out into the hall a man came up to me and said, “The last time you were here you taught about the difference between the soul and spirit. I just wanted to let you know you set me free that night. Since then I’ve been reading the Bible and I understand it now. I just wanted to thank you.” I told him thanks so much for telling me that! These are the things that encourage me to keep going to the jail. There are some of these guys that are truly seeking answers. I just keep telling them to let God be God and he wants to be Lord in their lives. I finished with Jesus telling them he was the vine and they were the branches. I stuck out my arms like branches and acted as if I was straining. I said, “Have you ever seen branches on a tree straining to produce apples?” Of course not so I told them their job was to abide in the vine and let Christ in them produce the fruit through them.

Lansdale Borough residents who cross paths with borough employees daily may know each by name, but one resident wants to know – What's in a name?
Resident Rege McKenzie recently approached borough Communications Manager Tracy Flynn and proposed a “Day in the Life” series on staff members that work for the borough, to be shared on the borough website and other media.
“Rege wanted to acknowledge the staff members that work for the borough. You see them all the time, they are doing work … Do you know who they are?” Flynn reported to the Economic Development Committee and Communication Commission Monday night. “He came up with the idea of a ‘Day in the Life’: These are your public works crew, these are your electric crew, these are the guys that work at the wastewater treatment plant.”
Flynn said McKenzie, who was unable to attend Monday’s meeting, thought the “Day in the Life” could be for each individual department staff member.
Flynn expected a more fleshed-out proposal next month, when McKenzie is expected to attend and address the committees.
“We need to go through the pieces: Do we do it departmentally? Do we do it at the staff level? How do we go about it?” Flynn said.
Communication Commission Chairman Denton Burnell thought it was a great idea.
“I think the thing we should remember is it’s just as important to remember the ‘who,’ but also ‘what.’ Certainly, the feeling for what these guys and ladies do every day will be just as important as the ‘who,’ in terms of communicating what the borough does on a day-to-day basis,” Burnell said.
Burnell said it’s nice to have an idea, but the commission must make sure there is someone to champion it.
“It’s fine to do it as a committee and nominate someone, but we’ll have to figure that out before we take it forward,” he said.
Borough Manager Timi Kirchner said the idea needs to be discussed internally.
“It’s a great idea, and nobody more than me would love to feature our staff, but we have to be sensitive to the fact that they can be anonymous in doing their jobs, and they’re not necessarily people that seek the spotlight,” she said. “I’d like to have an opportunity to have a discussion internally, just for some thoughts and ideas of how we might organize this.”
Kirchner said McKenzie is expressing his gratitude for the way borough staff came through for him last year after a snowstorm, when he was injured tending to fallen trees on his property.
“A lot of our staff prefer to quietly go about doing their job and prefer not to be front and center,” she said. “Some may be fine with that.”
Communication Commission member Denise Pitts, director of marking and public affairs at Abington Health-Lansdale Hospital, suggested a plan be in place on how to disseminate and where the post the information.
“Then, you always have the unfortunate incident of someone no longer being in the organization,” she said. “There can be extenuating circumstances.”
Economic Development Committee Chairman Ray Liberto said, to avoid such circumstances, you don’t focus on the individual, you focus on the job.
Burnell said it would be cool if someone was willing to put a face to the job.
“It’s up to them if they want to be recognized in that way,” he said. | [

I have been playing around with the idea of updating the visuals of Project Explore for quite some time. So here's what I've completed.
It took quite some time to re-work the engine to display everything correctly now that I'm using full-screen shading. It was even more annoying to write the shader to stretch with the window size when you change the size of it.
I worked on filling the sanity system with a bit more content and added a new AI. I call it the Stalker. It follows you from anywhere. You can't kill it directly. You MUST regain your sanity. The Stalker will get closer and closer until he grabs you causing massive damage. After you escape his grasp, the Stalker will disappear for a short time.
I believe that quantity is just as important as quality... That is why I am working at the goal of having 100+ items in the game by the time I push the game to Steam Greenlight! So expect there to be a lot of gameplay by the time the beta is available. | [

When taking photographs, learning the art of getting a picture perfect moment every time is easy if you know the right tricks. After following the advice found in this guide, you will have a much better understanding of ways to enhance your current abilities, and discover other ways to improve your talents.
When showing off your photographs, make sure to keep your less than perfect pictures at home. You do not want people to see your sub-par work; you only want them to see your best work. Delete any pictures on your camera that you do not want anyone else to see.
Be sure your photo has a solid focal point. Without a good focal point your photographs will end up looking empty, leaving the eye with nowhere to rest. Your viewers will be more appreciative of a photo that has a clear focus, even if you are shooting a landscape or other wide setting.
Understand and anticipate the impact that wind will have on the photos that you take. For example, if you are planning on shooting flowers, avoid days where the wind is very active. When flowers and plants are stable, you will have the best chance to get the highest quality and resolution in your picture. In situations where you don’t have a choice, such as weddings, have a contingency plan. Are there sheltered areas where the wind will have less impact?
Hold your camera properly. You should hold it on one side and use your other hand to support the lens. Place your hand under the lens instead of over it. When you place your hands this way, you are supporting the camera instead of applying pressure, which could make your pictures blurry.
A great photography tip is to always be aware of your surroundings. Don’t shut off your creative vision when you don’t have a camera nearby. You should always be looking at things and visualizing. This is a great way to stay fresh creatively and to always be inspired.
Are you aware of the “magic hours” in photography? This time period refers to the times of day known as dusk and dawn. These magical times create very soft and warm lighting conditions. There is only 45 minutes around sunrise and sunset to add this beautiful light to your shots, so plan accordingly.
With this newfound information about photography, you are well on your way to taking better shots. You will enjoy spending less time deleting pictures and rustling through the catalog looking for the right picture. Just apply this information to what you already know and watch your photographs come to life. | [

Brokerage says Southeast cities are set for price growth as businesses and people move to more affordable regions
Tightening supply of affordable homes will mean a rebound for bidding wars in 2020 according to Redfin.
As the cooldown in the housing market ends, the brokerage expects markets to become increasingly competitive, fueled by low supply of new homes and homeowners’ tenure lengthening.
"Low mortgage rates started to revitalize the market at the end of this summer, but we won't see their full impact on demand for housing until next year," said Redfin chief economist Daryl Fairweather, who authored the report. "In 2020, buyers will have fewer homes to choose from than they have in five years. But the return of bidding wars is good news for sellers who may have been holding out this year as the market stabilized. The competition and faster price growth will tempt more homeowners and builders to list homes, which will help improve the balance between supply and demand by the end of the year."
Redfin expects about one in four offers to face bidding wars in 2020 compared to only one in 10 in 2019.
That is set to boost prices by 6% in the first half of the year, up from just 2% in the same period of 2019. However, it expects moderation in the second half of 2020 with a more balanced market giving a 3% price rise.
Charlestown and Charlotte are set to lead growth along with other more affordable Southeast cities. Businesses and people will be drawn to these less costly markets.
Redfin’s outlook calls for mortgage rates to remain low, with an average for 30-year loans of 3.8%.
With investors already pricing in the chance of recession, it does not expect rates to drop below 3.5% if the economy weakens while stronger growth should still see rates remain below 4.1%.
Among the other things that Redfin sees for 2020:
- For the first time, Hispanic Americans will gain more wealth from home equity than white Americans as the majority of new homeowners are Hispanic, and home values in Hispanic neighborhoods are increasing faster than in white neighborhoods.
- Climate change will become a bigger financial factor for homebuyers and sellers as insurance costs and availability makes a larger impact on decisions.
- More streets will be come car free as cities favor greener modes of transport. | [

Visible Light Communication (VLC) has gained great interest in the last decade due to the rapid developments in Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) fabrication. Efficiency, durability and long life span of LEDs make them a promising residential lighting equipment as well as an alternative cheap and fast data transfer equipment. Appliance of visual light in data communication by means of LEDs has been densely searched in academia. In this paper, we explore the fundamentals and challenges of indoor VLC systems. Basics of optical transmission such as transmitter, receiver, and links are investigated. Moreover, characteristics of channel models in indoor VLC systems are identified and theoretical details about channel modelling are presented in detail. | [

The PCE price deflator confirmed inflation remains a strong challenge for the U.S. economy, rising 0.6% last month and 5.7% in the last 12 months. The annual increase was the highest since 1982. Core PCE inflation rose 0.5%, suggesting food and energy prices rose only slightly more than broad consumer prices (Figure 1).
Key Points for the Week
- The personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price deflator rose 0.6% and is up 5.7% in the last 12 months. The annual increase in the PCE inflation rate is the highest since 1982.
- The housing market remains tight. Existing homes sales increased 1.9% and the supply of existing homes for sale decreased 13%.
- Market volatility has picked up in recent weeks as adjustments to Fed policy and the Omicron variant caused a spike in 1% moves in the S&P 500.
Prices have risen rapidly in the housing market. Existing home sales increased 1.9% last month and supply dropped 13%. The median price for an existing home rose to $354,000 and the median price for a new home is now $417,000.
Stocks remain volatile. The S&P 500 moved by 1% more often in the past four weeks than in any other four-week period this year. Fortunately, the moves were primarily to the upside. The S&P 500 index added 2.3% last week and eclipsed the previous all-time high. The MSCI ACWI gained 2.0%. Bond yields rose and bond prices fell. The Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index surrendered 0.4%. Data releases are light this week as the PCE data came out one week early.
Did You Get My Letter?
Santa isn’t the only one who gets letters this time of year. During this holiday week, we’ll answer a couple of the questions we’ve received about how the market is responding to the current environment.
Will the market go down or get more volatile because rates are rising?
The Federal Reserve normalizing rates can increase risk and volatility. Recent history suggests rate hikes don’t have as much immediate impact as we might think. The last time the Fed reversed direction and increased rates was 2015, with a single hike in December. It waited another 12 months for the next hike in December 2016 and then hiked rates three times in 2017 and four times in 2018. S&P 500 returns were a little below average during those four years, with stocks rising about 7% per year. In 2017 the market earned more than 20%, and the S&P 500 had a mere eight moves of more than 1%. The 2004-2006 period included 18 interest rate hikes; yet, stocks fared decently. Returns were similar to the most recent rate-hike cycle, rising 6.6% each year.
In both cases the rate hikes had to be at least partially reversed. Signs the economy was slowing precipitated three rate cuts in 2019. The Fed cut rates again to support the economy during the COVID-19 pandemic. Rates were very low in 2004 because they had been cut to support the economy as the technology bubble unwound. Rates likely got too low and led to speculation in the housing market and contributed to the global financial crisis.
We counsel patience during periods like this one:
- Returns are likely to slow after three straight years of nearing or topping 20%. But in the last two cycles, investors who pulled out of the market when rates were first hiked and reinvested at the last hike missed out on about 70% of returns.
- This rate-hike cycle will likely have fewer hikes than the last two. In 2006 rates peaked at 5.25%. Rates only reached 2.5% in 2018, and the Fed expects that to be in line with long-term rates. We are less optimistic about the economy and think the Fed will raise rates slowly and not above 2%.
Why do the CPI and PCE price deflator show a gap of more than 1%?
The Consumer Price Index or, more technically, the CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) and Personal Consumer Expenditures Price Index both measure inflation but use different methodologies. Each measure also has a “core” version that excludes food and energy price changes. The Federal Reserve prefers to use the core PCE inflation index, and we align with its thinking for the following reasons:
- Food and energy prices are more volatile and often don’t reflect price trends in the broader economy.
- The PCE index adjusts the weight of various items more quickly based on changing consumer behavior than the CPI index. The PCE inflation index also allows for substitutions consumers make when the price of a good increases, better reflecting consumer behavior.
- The PCE index includes expenditures made on the behalf of consumers by insurance companies or the government. This | [

New York Times - 05/19/1975
"...Hackman exploit[s the tension] most effectively. The perverse intensity and the anguish...recall some of [Frankenheimer's] best work in THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE and SECONDS..."
Gene Hackman stars as hard-boiled New York narcotics cop Popeye Doyle in the sequel to the Oscar-winning FRENCH CONNECTION. Still on the trail of heroin kingpin Charnier (Fernando Rey), whom he's dubbed Frog One, Doyle heads for Marseilles. On arrival, his aggressive ugly-American persona alienates French inspector Barthelmy (Bernard Fresson), and his limited ability to speak French doesn't help. Frustrated by Barthelmy's lack of progress, he slips his assigned police protection and goes looking for Frog One on his own. He's soon captured by Charnier's minions, who lock him in a fleabag hotel and shoot him up repeatedly with free samples of their product until Doyle is completely addicted. Charnier uses the detective's narcotized state to interrogate him and is surprised to find that he's virtually ignorant about his operation. The disdainful Charnier has him dumped in front of police headquarters, and Barthemy arranges for him to be put in isolation. Doyle undergoes the lengthy, grueling ordeal of quitting heroin cold turkey while his desperation to capture Charnier builds inside him. Hackman's brilliant performance highlights this somewhat overlooked sequel; Claude Renoir's camera fully captures the squalor of the milieu, and Frankenheimer engineers a harrowing final chase.
Description by 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment:
Gene Hackman returns in his Oscar award-winning role as the hard-hitting detective Popeye Doyle. Doyle travels to Marseilles in pursuit of the heroin dealers who he hit, but failed to kill in New York. In the south of France, he is kidnapped by the dealers and forced to become as addict in captivity. But Popeye is too tough to be beaten and when he is finally set free, he quits the junk cold turkey and undergoes an agonizing withdrawal. After he comes clean, he goes after his enemy Charnier, the heroin dealing king pin, played by Fernando Rey. He burns down the hotel where he was held hostage, survives a shootout and finally does away with his enemies once and for all. With its tension-filled action, inspired chases, inexhaustible excitement and Hackman's superb performance, French Connection ll is every bit as good, if not better, than the original.

First-Principles Calculations of the Electronic Structure of Imperfect Crystals in the Coherent Potential Approximation
- 68 Downloads
The results of electronic structure calculations of imperfect crystals—nonstoichiometric metal oxides (TiO2 – x, TiO1 – x, Al2O3 – x) are reviewed. All calculations were performed within the density functional theory in the coherent potential approximation with vacancies randomly distributed in metal and oxygen sublattices. It is found that the deviations from stoichiometric composition are accompanied by appearance of vacancy induced electronic states inside the band gap of initial insulating oxides.
Keywords:density functional theory coherent potential approximation nonstoichiometric metal oxides oxygen vacancies band gap
The research was carried out within the state assignment of FASO of Russia (theme Electron АААА-А18-118020190098-5).

Forecasters give the disturbance a 40 percent chance of developing into a tropical system during the next couple of days and a 60 percent chance of formation by the middle of next week.
We have been watching a disturbance for the past week in the Atlantic Ocean.
It's moving to the north-northwest at about 17 miles per hour with maximum sustained winds of 35 miles per hour. It is expected to be pushed off to the east by a non-tropical system on Tuesday or Wednesday according to AccuWeather, and is not seen as a direct threat to the USA coast. In about 4 days it will become an extra tropical storm in the north Atlantic.
However, a turn to the north and eventually northeast is forecast to begin tonight, which should steer the storm away from the U.S. The National Hurricane Center is forecasting tropical storm strength by Sunday night, which will make tropical storm Gert, the seventh named storm of the season.
Ozubulu killing: Osinbajo sends five ministers to Anambra
Ngige said the Federal Government would cooperate with Anambra to ensure that the culprits were brought to book. The Acting President condemned in very strong terms, the Sunday incident calling it atrocious.
A tropical wave that has just moved off the coast of Africa has a 20 percent chance of becoming a tropical depression over the next five days as it moves westward.
Previously dubbed Invest 99L, this system has become a little better defined and the shower and thunderstorm activity has increased, allowing the upgrade to Tropical Depression Eight.

Iranian President Ebrahim Raeisi says Israel’s shameless move to force the people of Gaza to flee their homes runs counter to all international laws and humanitarian principles.
Addressing a cabinet session on Sunday evening, Raeisi strongly condemned the silence of certain countries and international organizations in the face of Israel’s unprecedented and heinous crimes against the oppressed and defenseless people of Palestine
Those who keep silent in the face of Israel’s crimes must be held accountable for their actions and face the judgment of history, he added.
He reiterated the Islamic Republic’s unwavering and definite policy of supporting the people of Palestine.
The Iranian president warned that wasting any second to stop Israel’s bombardment of residential areas in Gaza and to help people access basic commodities would lead to harmful consequences.
He also called on all countries to fulfill their responsibilities vis-à-vis the ongoing situation in Gaza, where the Israeli occupying regime presses ahead with its brutal attacks against civilians.
On October 7, the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas launched Operation Al-Aqsa Storm deep into the territories occupied by the Israeli regime. The operation involved large-scale air, land, and sea strikes.
The group said the operation was a reaction to the recurring desecration of the al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied al-Quds as well as intensified Israeli atrocities against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank.
Israel responded with intensive air strikes on civilian targets in the Gaza Strip, killing at least 2,670 Palestinians in Gaza and wounding some 10,000 others, according to the territory’s health ministry.
The regime has also intensified the siege of Gaza, leaving the city, home to more than 2.3 million Palestinians, without water, electricity, fuel and internet.
According to reports, Israel also destroyed some 135,000 houses and residential units in Gaza since the beginning of its savage attacks.
In a phone call with French President Emmanuel Macron earlier on Sunday, Raeisi said Israel’s actions against Palestinians echo the crimes perpetrated by the Nazis during the Second World War, warning that the dimensions of the war will broaden if the Israeli regime persists with its attacks.
“If the Zionist regime seeks to pay for its defeat through the continuation of these crimes [against Palestinians], the dimensions of the developments will expand,” the Iranian president said. | [

Spin-Current Thermoelectric Conversion — Informatics-Based Materials Development and Scope of Applications
Since the energy conversion technology that makes use of a new physical property called the spin current was reported in 2008, conversion efficiencies have been improved significantly, being helped by the discovery of new materials. This improvement has been backed not only by the accumulation of discoveries of new materials and mechanisms but more importantly, by efforts aimed at improving the efficiencies of materials development processes by taking a completely new approach. This paper introduces the creation of a new materials development process that combines an attempt at large-scale data acquisition in the field of materials development and an informatics approach for analyzing the acquired data by using machine learning. The potential benefits of its utilization are also discussed. In addition, the paper discusses the application domains of the spin-current thermoelectric conversion technology that are currently being put into practical use.
There are many cases in which the discovery of a material or device possessing new functionality changes not only the structures of individual enterprises but also exerts a very great impact on leading to the reform of the entire society. Some such examples include the neodymium magnet, the high-temperature superconductor and the blue LED. All of which have achieved significant success due to the extensive committed research, as well as the impact of chance events.
However, the environments that surround material and device development are changing continually. The need for results has now reached a very high level of urgency in the fields that are experiencing severe competition. Consequently, attention is drawn to approaches that can develop materials and devices more efficiently by the maximum use of advanced technologies. Particularly, the materials informatics (MI) gathers special attention as a new technique for accelerating development by utilizing the knowledge obtained via informatics.
In the present paper, section 2 describes the trends of MI technology development, section 3 reports on an actual usage case of MI for the development of a material for use in the new technology known as spin-current thermoelectric conversion. Section 4 introduces the possible applications of this technology.
2. Trends in MI Technology Development
Most R&D in the material science field has targeted physical properties such as the strengths of steel materials or the carrier mobility of semiconductors, which are expressed simply and quantitatively. Topics dealing with data involving millions of types or quantities have thereby been limited. As a result, there was rarely a need to use informatics that surpassed the level of sophistication of mathematical statistics used traditionally in R&D. However, considering that the progress of experimentation and simulation technologies has led to an increase in the types and quantities of data and the use of informatics has achieved success in the bioscience and drug discovery fields that had launched the use of informatics earlier. The Materials Genome Initiative (MGI) was started in 2011 in the United States. This triggered the general rise in an interest in informatics. The MGI has the objective of developing materials more efficiently by advancing research under the initiative of data analysis that uses artificial intelligence (AI). Consequently it is currently advancing the preparation of a materials database and building an open platform equipped with various innovative analysis tools. In Japan also, the development of platforms and key technologies similar to those of the MGI has been started by various associations including the "Materials research by information integration" Initiative (Mi2i) started in 2015 and other projects.
3. Development of Spin-Current Thermoelectric Converted Materials Utilizing MI
NEC is conducting the R&D into a thermoelectric conversion technology that can mutually convert between the charge and the heat current using a phenomenon called the spin current1). This research belongs to a relatively new academic theme2). As NEC's original efforts aimed at improving efficiency in the search for new materials, and the ongoing positive trends have both already achieved certain successful results3) 4) 5). Various innovative approaches using MI are therefore currently being advanced.
3.1 Data initiative applied to Materials Science developments
What is important in the R&D of material science is to clarify the causal relationships that exist behind the new physical properties or phenomena. To make this possible, a deductive approach that defines the orientation of a development base on understanding the factors and mechanisms affecting the targeted physical property is regarded as being the accepted orthodox method.
On the other hand, when dealing with a completely new academic field for which the accumulation of fundamental knowledge is as yet insufficient, it is required to vary the data acquisition conditions such as those for composition of the material. As this procedure increases the probability that the results will be influenced by completely unexpected factors, the deductive approach does not function satisfactorily, unless preceded by a huge number of verification experiments. In such a situation, there may be cases in which an inductive approach initiative led by data analysis can be more efficient in advancing the accumulation of meaningful information.
Whether or not challenging a topic under the initiative of data analysis is possible is greatly dependent on the type and quantity of the collected data. Therefore, NEC decided to build an innovative sample preparation | [

I'll give your dog a lot of love
Hello, my name is Hannah, and I love dogs. Growing up my family always had dogs. My first dog was a beautiful, white husky. Later in life we adopted two Shiba inu's, who are still with us today. I have always enjoyed taking care of dogs, and would pet-sit for friends and family whenever I got the chance. I began taking care of a family friend's pets, two lovely dogs and a cat when they...

Pollination Conservation Challenge
In Your Backyard or Schoolyard
- Groomed lawns are pollinator deserts. Consider replacing parts of your lawn that you do not use recreationally with pollinator gardens containing wild, flowering plants.
- If you live in the country, resist the urge to mow or remove existing native vegetation, as it provides pollinators and other wild animals with valuable habitat.
- Creating a pollinator garden in your schoolyard is a great way to learn about nature without going on a field trip. Some organizations will even give grants to schools interested in naturalizing their grounds (http://nativeplants.evergreen.ca/).
- Make sure you provide pollinators with a constant supply of flowers. Design your garden so that some plants are in flower all throughout the year (e.g., spring, summer and fall).
- Many horticultural varieties of plants are bred to look pretty, but are not visited by native insects (e.g., double flowers). If you grow non-native plants, select varieties that are still attractive to pollinators.
- Leave part of your yard a bit messy. Patches of bare ground, stumps, grass clumps and brush piles provide pollinating insects with habitat.
- Ground-nesting bees need bare ground. Avoid covering up all of your bare soil with mulch; leave some sunny areas exposed.
- Put up feeders or nesting boxes for hummingbirds, butterflies and bees.
- Create a pollinator puddle by mixing sand, water, a little salt and some cut fruit in a shallow dish.
- Minimize pesticide use in your yard. Pesticides can kill pollinating insects. Handpicking or spraying soapy water may be sufficient to eliminate pests on a prized shrub or tree.
- Consider adding a pollinator garden you have created to our PlantSpotting App, so others can view your achievement!

According to the World in Data, 284 million people in the world have some kind of anxiety disorder. WHO reports that 1 in 13 people suffer from anxiety disorders.
When it comes to data about driving anxiety, there is limited data, but if we look at the research about the same, there are 12.5 % of Americans who have driving phobias.
There are deep psychological reasons why people have driving anxiety. Let’s start by discussing some of these reasons why people have anxiety while driving or parking a car.
Some signs that show you may have a driving anxiety problem
An easier way to understand if someone has driving anxiety is that they fear driving a car, they have a phobia of driving the car, or even travelling in a car. They also have stress when they think about driving a car.
Here are some of the specific signs of driving anxiety:
- Excessive fear associated with driving
- Panic attacks
- Sweaty palms and excessive sweating
- Breath shortness
- Fast and rapid breathing
- Racing heartbeat
Reasons That Cause Driving Anxiety
1. Trauma in the past
If someone has had a bad traumatic experience, it could cause strong anxiety about driving. This condition is called PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). It was found that 30% of people who have gone through accidents have driving anxiety. In such cases, one can have a strong desire to get away from the vehicle or even a panic attack.
2. Fear of being lost
Fear of being lost is also one of the reasons for driving anxiety. This fear is known as Mazeophobia. When someone feels emotionally uncomfortable about a path, or an unknown place it is a sign of Mazeophobia.
3. Travelling through heavy traffic
Another reason some people are afraid of driving is because of heavy traffic. Heavy traffic has a very negative emotion associated with itself. With heavy traffic, people start to feel claustrophobic, and sometimes it is just uneasiness and an uncomfortable feeling in traffic.
4. Lack of confidence in driving skills
When one is not properly trained in driving or doesn’t have much experience while driving, or simply doesn’t have much confidence in their driving skills, they also feel anxiety while driving a car.
How to Overcome Anxiety During Driving?
1. Plan ahead
Stay prepared for your journey. If you know the routes and the path towards your destination, you have fewer chances of having anxiety during your ride. Once you’re familiar with the route you’ll have less anxiety. If possible, ask your friend or family member to accompany you or take you on a ride for once, to make you comfortable with the route.
2. Stay in local regions
If you’re aware that you have driving anxiety, it is best to stay local and get more familiar with your regular routes. Avoid going on long distances without having someone accompany you.
3. Make the car feel like a positive and safe space
The environment around you has a major impact on your mood and vibe. According to research, a good-smelling aroma has a positive influence on psychology. So it is recommended to have good smelling perfume and air freshener in your car.
Does your car get cleaned regularly? Please ensure you do. Also, have some stress relievers toys in your car to help the positive vibe. Make sure you have cleaned the air filters to prevent your car from dust and dirt
4. Focus on the destination
Our attention is where your focus is. If we are focusing on positive things, our mind is more toward positive thoughts. And, when we focus on negative things, we give space to negative thoughts.
If you focus on the destination, this will prevent you from exaggerating the fear of driving and you’ll be anticipating more about the goal.
5. Take driving lessons
As we discussed above, one of the reasons people have driving anxiety is because of a lack of self-confidence in their driving skills. If you feel you are incompetent when it comes to driving skills, get professional driving lessons. Once you are confident, you will have control over your anxiety.
6. Get your car checked
Sometimes the cause of anxiety is a lack of trust in the car or just negative thoughts and assumptions about car accidents. When you get your check, regularly maintained, make sure it has high-quality spare parts and you carry essentials in your car, it helps.
7. Stay relaxed before you even get in the car
Anxiety is caused as a result of the release of hormones like cortisol. When we experience stress our body immediately goes either into flight or fright mode. To avoid such hormonal disturbances, relax before you get into the car. Take long deep breaths. Do some quick jumps, or a quick meditation session to calm yourself before you get into the car.
8. Practice staying calm

6 October 2003 Hickory, NC Lightwave--Corning Cable Systems is introducing the LANscape Solutions Model 500 Optical Multitester, an optical testing platform designed to meet all of the optical testing needs of private networks.
The Model 500 Optical Multitester features test and measurement options including optical time-domain reflectometer(OTDR), connector inspection, chromatic and polarization mode dispersion, optical spectral analysis and Gigabit Ethernet system testing. The testing platform allows the user to configure the Model 500 Optical Multitester to meet his or her specific testing needs with the addition of field-installable modules.
The OTDR application - the fastest in the industry with 60% to 80% of range in 15 to 30 secs - is designed to reduce the time needed to install, commission, and maintain fiber spans via high-performance hardware and software. The Model 500 Optical Multitester can be equipped with a light source and power meter for end-to-end loss testing, and the Visual Fault Locator (VFL) option enables the user to visually locate breaks at patch panels and identify specific optical fibers within a cable.
The Windows-based Model 500 Optical Multitester contains all the components found in a typical computer, including a hard drive, USB ports, CD-ROM or CD-R (writable), and an active color touch-screen display. The Model 500 Optical Multitester is available in three sizes, depending on the number of field-installable modules used.

Reaction of the chiral auxiliary trans-2-phenylcyclohexanol (1) with thionyl chloride afforded a nearly equal mixture of two diastereomeric chlorosulfite esters (6). Treatment of this mixture with an equivalent amount of a dialkylzinc reagent (Me, Et, i-Pr) afforded high levels of conversion of both chlorosulfite esters to (mainly) a single diastereomer of the sulfinate ester (7). Levels of absolute stereochemical induction ranged from 10:1 to 96:4 under conditions affording high chemical yields. The method was employed for the separate synthesis of both enantiomers of sulforaphane (13).
