How to Break into Wifi
Wi-Fi networks have become an essential part of our daily lives, providing us with convenient and fast internet access. However, there may be instances when you need to access a Wi-Fi network without knowing the password. In this article, we will explore different methods to hack Wi-Fi passwords using the Termux app without requiring root access and learn how to retrieve Wi-Fi passwords on an Android device.
Understanding Wi-Fi Security
Before we dive into the techniques, it’s crucial to understand the concept of Wi-Fi security. Most Wi-Fi networks utilize encryption protocols like WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) or WPA2 to safeguard the data transmitted over the network. These protocols ensure that unauthorized individuals cannot intercept or decode the data without the correct password.

8th July 2014 – Japanese citizen “Fukushima kindergarten turns a blind eye to highly contaminated ingredients and serves lunch”
25th June 2014 – 67,886 Bq/Kg of Cs-134/137 measured from elementary school soil in Fujisawa city / 300 km from Fukushima plant
The sample is the soil removed for school area decontamination. The reading was 64,281 Bq/Kg including water. The density is assumed to increased to 67,886 Bq/Kg when it’s dry.
24th June 2014 – 17,060 Bq/Kg from Chengiopanax sciadophylloides in Fukushima / 13,742 Bq/Kg from Ash for cooking.
Among 3,000 samples, Cs-134/137 was detected from 39.8% of all. It was 39.9% in May of 2013, which shows the radioactive contamination hasn’t become less since last year.
20th June 2014 – Angry Japan farmers bring cow from Fukushima to Tokyo.
“Our cows cannot be shipped as meat. They are evidence of lives affected by radiation,” said Masami Yoshizawa, leader of the farm, in front of the ministry, as his supporters and media looked on.
Fellow Fukushima farmer Naoto Matsumura said: “What if this started happening to people? We have to examine the cause of this and let people know what happened to these animals.”

6th June 2014 – Latest Fukushima Prefecture beef, seafood, fruit, and vegetable test results.
Comment: This is a large list of tests, so you need to click on the page numbers at the bottom, to see the rest of the tests.
26th May 2014 – Fukushima VICE- Up to 3,000Bq/kg of Cesium in Fukushima produce, farmer commits suicide over guilt for selling it.
Insect research in this video suggests multi generational genetic damage is occurring, which will get worse with each generation.
It is a crime that large numbers of Japanese children are left in these highly contaminated areas, and have not been evacuated.
Criminal that the Japanese government monitoring stations show much lower levels of background radiation than is actually present, to provide a sense of safety, when in fact the environment is highly radioactive.
11th May 2014 – Fieldwork 7 or 1.15μSv/h in a Vegetable Field near Tokyo
1.15μSv/h is the highest reading that I had had during the 1 1/2 years of use of this dosimeter.
4th May 2014 – Ibaraki elementary school to have a “rice-planting” class for 9~12 y.o students in 270 Bq/Kg / “Come with socks”
They published the announcement to state the radioactive density (Probably they mean Cesium-134/137) is only 270 Bq/Kg, which is lower than the average of the rice fields of the city to be 296.8 Bq/Kg.
17th April 2014 – Japan Radiation Embargoed Food List
The Japanese government has been wooing the media with claims that all the contamination in the food supply has miraculously just gone away. This is of course not exactly what is going on.
What is not mentioned is how many foods are still being held back from sale and that they are not just in Fukushima prefecture.
Spot checks won’t catch all contaminated products. Bulk testing can miss a highly contaminated item mixed in with uncontaminated items. Anything below 100 bq/kg is permitted to be sold.
17th February 2014 – New Independent Fukushima Food Contamination Results
People in Japan early on realized they needed to take things into their own hands if they wanted to know the conditions around them and what their risk factors were. Citizen labs have been set up in Japan to allow people to test their own food.
While the government in Japan (and elsewhere) have insisted anything below legal intervention levels of food contamination are “safe”, the public and many NGOs have disputed this. Ongoing problems with cesium in children’s urine belies the govt claim that all is ok. Two sets of standards have evolved. The one the government uses and the one the public uses to scrutinize their food supply.
Out of the readings that were frequently positive are citrus fruits, that were found to be contaminated along with persimmons and kiwi fruit. There were also many negative, no contamination findings for foods including those in Fukushima.

Tungsten Copper Electrode, Heat Sink W Cu Properties...
Copper tungsten is a promising material commonly utilized in integrated circuits and highpower microelectronic devices as heat sink and packaging materials. Tungsten copper alloy exhibited superior thermal conductivity and machinability. Most importantly, copper tungsten composites process a relatively low and tailorable coefficient of thermal expansion.
Coppertungsten tungstencopper, CuW, or WCu is a mixture of copper and tungsten. As copper and tungsten are not mutually soluble, the material is composed of distinct particles of one metal dispersed in a matrix of the other one. The microstructure is therefore rather a metal matrix composite instead of a true alloy.6
Data Sheet TungstenCopper WCu also: CopperTungsten CuW
TungstenCopper is frequently used as an electrode material, in case that the typical copper contact materials e.g. CopperChromeZirconium CuCrZr and others have reached their limits. Machining The machining is carried out by carbide tools. The properties when machining are very good. Compared to various Copper alloys there are no deformations due to the high hardness and high EModulus.

Can the pads on a dogs feet grow back?
Yes it can my dog always messes his up but it grows back
Yes they do!!
Yes, their feet are called "paws" which are thick pad like. Dogs sweat through these pads and they provide protection.
Dogs perspire from the pads of their feet and their tongue. Smell your own feet and see how sweet they are!
Yes, on the pads of their feet. They can also pant like dogs when they get too hot.
because he has paws with pads, toes and claws, just like cats, dogs, and other quadropeds. because he has paws with pads, toes and claws, just like cats, dogs, and other quadropeds.
The dogs have thick callous pads and fur on their feet. They don't need booties or such like city dwellers do for their dogs. I suspect that the whole jacket and bootie thing is more about how the city owners feel than how their dogs feel.
Hey... Usually snow dogs are huskies! They have a very thick coat that allows them to stay warm and the pads on the bottom of their feet are adapted to the cold snow!
Dogs do not sweat from their necks or bodies like humans do. They are different. They sweat from their tongues and from their pads and feet.
so when they go on walks there like shoes for them, and they are filled with air so its soft when they walk.
Dogs can lick their feet for a number of reasons- they might be trying to remove something that is stuck in their pads, or have found something stuck on or between their pads that they like the taste of (i.e. if they've walked through spilt milk, tea, jam or similar). They also do it if their feet are sore, infected or injured, or sometimes as a 'boredom activity' if they feel confined and with nothing… Read More
Dogs have special skin on the bottoms of their feet called "paw pads" that isn't found anywhere else on their body. Their feet are able to withstand numerous textures and temperatures and their paw pads have cushions on the bottom of their feet. They are very tough, thick, and well insulated. Paw pads are made of fat, connective tissue, and the thickest skin found on the entire body. These layers enable dogs to walk on… Read More
This question is not very clear. Dogs walk on their paws. The underside of a dog's feet are the paw pads with are thick and rough skin to protect the dog's feet and to also enable it to walk on nearly all surfaces.
scent glands in their pads im pretty sure.... what kind of dog????? my dog's feet dont smell but my friend has some rare kind and his feet do
When a dog scuffs the groung with its back feet, it is marking territory or asserting itself to other dogs by leaving behind scent from glands in the paw pads and leaving marks on the ground. This is sometimes done shortly after it has marked territory with urine and or faeces.
Dogs don't sweat except through the pads of their feet. They cool off by panting.
You can actually buy special dog booties for this purpose. Some good catalog and online companies are Drs. Foster and Smith and In the Company of Dogs. When your dog does go outside and gets salt on his feet, be sure to wash them when he comes back in to remove the salt. There are two reasons why this is very important: one is to prevent the salt from drying out the pads of his… Read More
There's a different number of toes in the front and the back feet. The back feet have 4 toes and the front ones have 5 (one is higher and doesn't make contact with the ground. The nail associated with this toe is called a dewclaw and is used for grooming and hunting). Each foot has one foot pad and one pad per toe. That makes 5 pads in the back and 6 pads in the… Read More
Yes. Though carefully as you do not want to cut the webbing. The hair between the pads of a dogs feet can make it hard to them to stand and walk on slick surfaces like laminate flooring and hardwood just like if you were wearing socks on a freshly waxed floor.
Pine needles are not considered toxic but are irritating. they can be irritating to the mouth and stomachs of dogs as well as the feet and pads if they walk on the needles. Many dogs will vomit after eating the needles.
Wolves don't sweat. They pant to cool themselves down. Dogs and coyotes also pant, but they also sweat through the pads on their feet.
It is possible, but uncommon, as bed bugs do not like fur. It makes it very difficult for them to move around, as they do not have "sticky pads" on their | [

He's one of my best friends and someone I feel like i can go to for anything. Love you Dad! I am also go grateful for Josh and him as a dad! What a great dad he is and our boys love him so much, especially Lincoln right now. For most kids you bribe with candy but with Lincoln i tell him gets to go see daddy or talk to daddy and he does what even you need.

UBC Theses and Dissertations
Large smooth cylindrical elements located in a rectangular channel : upstream hydraulic conditions and drag force evaluation Turcotte, Benoit
Classical approaches to evaluate the stability of large woody debris (LWD) introduced in streams for habitat restoration or flood management purposes are usually based on inappropriate assumptions and hydraulic equations. Results suggest that the physics of small cylindrical elements located in large channels cannot be transferred to the case of a large roughness elements placed in small channels. The introduction of LWD in a small channel can generate a significant modification of the upstream hydraulic conditions. This modification has direct implications on the stability of the LWD. Experiments were performed in a controlled environment: a small stream section was represented by a low roughness rectangular flume and LWD were modeled with smooth PVC cylinders. Direct force measurements were performed with a load cell and results were used to identify an equation that evaluates the drag force acting on a large cylindrical element place in a rectangular channel. This equation does not depend on a drag coefficient. Water depths were also measured during the experiments and results were used to develop an approach that evaluates the upstream hydraulic impacts of a large cylinder introduced in a rectangular channel. The effect of the variation of the unit discharge (discharge per unit of width), cylinder size, cylinder elevation from the channel bed, and downstream hydraulic conditions, could be related to the upstream hydraulic conditions with relative success. Dimensionless parameters were developed to increase the versatility of the approach. The application of this approach to field cases is expected to require adjustments, mainly because of the roughness of natural environments differs from the smoothness of the controlled environment described in this work.

The corrosion problem is due to the battery acid leaking onto the cables and causing the failures. The alternator may be overcharging the battery or it could be the battery temperature sensor causing the battery to be overcharged. The recommendation would be to have a qualified technician replace the two battery cables, battery, and then check the charging system for charging problems.

BOULDER, Colo., Oct. 20 (UPI) -- U.S. government space and earth scientists said this year's Antarctic ozone hole broke a record for area and depth.
NASA and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration scientists said the average area of the ozone hole between Sept. 21-30 was 10.6 million miles. NASA's Aura satellite measured the total amount of ozone from the ground to the upper atmosphere over Antarctica. NOAA scientists used balloon-ferried instruments to measure ozone over the South Pole.
When measurements were taken Oct. 9, scientists from NOAA's Earth Systems Research Laboratory in Boulder Colo., found nearly all of the ozone in the layer between eight and 13 miles above the Earth's surface was destroyed, a NASA said.
The ozone layer blocks harmful ultraviolet rays from the sun. The ozone hole is a depletion of the ozone layer above Antarctica. The hole is caused mainly by compounds that release chlorine and bromine gases in the stratosphere, NASA said.
Because the ozone hole is so huge, scientists said that as the sun rises higher in the sky during October and November, much more ultraviolet light than usual may reach Earth's surface in the southern hemisphere, NASA said. | [

This coastal plain reaches from the Florida Panhandle, southwest Georgia, the southern two-thirds of Alabama, over most of Mississippi, western Tennessee and Kentucky, extreme southern Illinois, the Missouri Bootheel, eastern and southern Arkansas, all of Louisiana, the southeast corner of Oklahoma, and easternmost Texas in the United States. It continues along the Gulf in northeastern and eastern Mexico, through Tamaulipas and Veracruz to Tabasco and the Yucatán Peninsula on the Bay of Campeche.
The Gulf Coastal Plain's southern boundary is the Gulf of Mexico in the U.S. and the Sierra Madre de Chiapas in Mexico. On the north, it extends to the Ouachita Highlands of the Interior Low Plateaus and the southern Appalachian Mountains. Its northernmost extent is along the Mississippi embayment (Mississippi Alluvial Valley) as far north as the southern tip of Illinois. To the east the Gulf coastal plain meets the South Atlantic Coastal Plain in southern Georgia along the basin divide between the rivers flowing into the Gulf and those flowing to the Atlantic and south along the Apalachicola River through the Florida panhandle. The flat to rolling topography is broken by many streams, river riparian areas, and marsh wetlands.
United States section
The Gulf Coastal Plain is a westward extension of the Atlantic Coastal Plain around the Gulf of Mexico. It is only the lower, seaward part of this region that deserves the name of plain, for there alone is the surface unbroken by hills or valleys. The inner part, initially a plain, has been maturely dissected into an elaborate complex of hills and valleys, usually of increasing altitude and relief as one passes inland. The Gulf Plain features not found in the Atlantic coastal plain are:
- the peninsular extension of the plain in Florida
- the belted arrangement of relief and soils in Alabama and in Texas
- the Mississippi embayment or inland extension of the plain half-way up the course of the Mississippi River to its junction with the Ohio River at Cairo, Illinois, with the Mississippi flood plain there included.
A broad, low crustal arch extends southward at the junction of the Atlantic and Gulf coastal plains. The emerged half of the arch, constitutes the visible lowland peninsula of Florida. The submerged half extends westward under the shallow Florida overlapping waters of the Gulf of Mexico. The northern part of the peninsula is composed largely of a weak limestone.
Here, much of the lowland drainage is underground forming many sinkholes (swallowholes). Many small lakes in the lowland appear to owe their basins to the solution of the limestones. Valuable phosphate deposits occur in certain districts. The southern part of the state includes the Everglades, a large area of low, flat, marshy land, overgrown with tall reedy grass.
The eastern coast is fringed by long-stretching sand reefs, enclosing lagoons so narrow and continuous that they are popularly called rivers. At the southern end of the peninsula is a series of coral islands, known as the Florida Keys. They appear to be due to the forward growth of corals and other lime-secreting organisms towards the strong current of the Gulf Stream from which they obtain their food. The western coast has fewer, shorter off-shore reefs. Much of it is of minutely irregular outline.
Alabama – Mississippi belted plain
A typical example of a belted coastal plain is found in Alabama and the adjacent part of Mississippi. The plain is here about 150 mi (240 km) wide. The basal formation is chiefly a weak limestone, which has been stripped from its original Alabama innermost extension and worn down to a flat inner lowland of rich black soil, thus gaining the name of the black belt.
The lowland is enclosed by an upland or escarpment, known as Chunnenuggee Ridge, sustained by partly consolidated sandy strata. However, the upland is not continuous, but a maturely dissected escarpment. It has a relatively rapid descent toward the inner lowland, and a very gradual descent to the coast prairies, which become very low, flat and marshy before dipping under the Gulf waters, where they are generally fringed by off-shore reefs.
The coastal plain extends 500 miles (800 km) inland on the axis of the Mississippi embayment. Its inner border affords admirable examples of topographical discordance where it sweeps northwestward square across the trend of the piedmont belt, the ridges and valleys, and the plateau of the Appalachians. All of which are terminated by dipping gently beneath the unconformable cover of the coastal plain strata. In the same way the western side of the embayment, trending south and southwest, passes along the lower southeastern side of the dissected Ozark plateau of southern Missouri and northern | [

More heat with little chance of rain
LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) - While not as hot as the day before, yesterday was hot with Lubbock peaking at 100 degrees. While not as hot as yesterday, today will be hot with highs again peaking near 100. The heat will continue to be the main weather story through the week.
This morning a few spotty showers, a few occasionally with thunder, dotted the south-central KCBD viewing area. As of this post, no measurable rain had been reported.
This afternoon will be mostly sunny, breezy, and hot. Highs across the viewing area will be about 7 or 8 degrees above average for mid-June.
This morning’s gusty winds, generally ranging from about 15 to 25 mph with gusts near 30 mph, will gradually decrease to a breezy wind, generally ranging from about 10 to 20 mph.
A few isolated thunderstorms are possible late today, primarily this evening and primarily over the northwestern third or so of the KCBD viewing area. Once again, I’m not expecting much if any measurable rain. Strong wind gusts will be possible as the storms die down this evening.
The next several days also will be hot. Highs, however, will drop just a notch each day. That will still leave Lubbock in the upper 90s Thursday and Friday, and the mid-90s this weekend.
Continue to practice heat safety. As I’ve noted previously, in contrast to one or two days of extreme heat, a prolonged period of heat (a heat wave) takes a greater toll on people, pets, livestock, and plants.

God’s Wisdom Refreshes Your Soul And Brightens Your Eyes
Some days, you work and work, and then it feels like you need a little picker-upper to give you a little boost of energy to see you through the workday. Sometimes you grab a coffee or a guilty bite of a candy bar, and once the caffeine or sugar rush burns off, you find yourself again depleted. However, if you had grabbed the Word of God or a short prayer walk around the building, you would have seen your energy, emotions, and intellect revived. The Word of God is refreshing to your soul when you allow it to enter your awareness!
Our psalmist says that the statutes of the Lord can be trusted to make even a simple person wise. I so desperately need that reassurance! Some days, I don’t know what I want to do. Other days, I do not know how to do what I know I must do. I don’t have the answers I desperately need. I feel so dumb sometimes. Don’t you?
Listen, the statutes, the Word of God, will make even the simplest person wise. As you read the Word of God, your mind and understanding begin to open up, and Holy Spirit can guide us forward where we were stuck before. The psalmist writes that the precepts of the Lord are right, giving joy to the heart. I don’t know about you, but I become filled with joy when I do the right thing. Joy wells up in my soul whenever I have an opportunity to live righteous before the Lord. | [

The Falkland Islands will host the Red Wing Group Conference in February
More than fifty naval specialists from the British Overseas Territories, Crown Dependencies and the United Kingdom itself are expected to attend the Falkland Islands for the Red Banner Conference.
The conference, which will cover matters of maritime importance including rules and regulations for various ships, boats and vessels, as well as coastal states’ responsibility with regard to search and rescue and pollution response, will be held at Stanley City Hall between February 4-6.
The conference has the support of the Falkland Islands government, and a red flag will be flown over Victory Meadow for all three days.
Captain John Cox, the Islands Government Maritime Officer and Harbor Manager who will host the meeting, said, “It is very important to the islands government and to all of us, the importance of the marine environment here on the islands as well as internationally, and how we play our role in the Falkland Islands as part of the Red Banner Group.”
The conference, first held 32 years ago, has grown to also include business strategy, politics and security issues.
Since its launch in 1988, it is celebrated every year in different places, reflecting the geography of the Red Pavilion Group which includes, in addition to the United Kingdom, the Crown dependents of Guernsey, Jersey, the Isle of Man and the Overseas Territories, Anguilla, Bermuda, the British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Falkland Islands, Gibraltar, Montserrat, Saint Helena, and Turks and Caicos Islands.
This year is also expected to address issues of technical importance and separate sessions will be held for registrars, as well as for those who must monitor the preparations available to coastal states, for both search and rescue missions and response to pollution problems.
The last Red Pavilion Group conference was held in the Falkland Islands in February 2020. Those interested can follow the developments of the conference on Twitter (#REG2020), on Facebook or via the website redensigngroup.org

A vision is when you experience a specific possibility as a potential for yourself. It has to have the element of it being possible for you.
It may come in the form of an idea, a dream, or a realization such as an "aha experience." Vision is direct communication from Life itself.
In addition to serving you personally, vision is critically important to the culture that you are a part of. It was standard practice in many Native American and aboriginal cultures to receive and share one's vision to make the people stronger.
Benefiting the community was the primary intention for doing vision quest and other ceremonies intended to receive a vision.
In this sense, vision is receiving collective guidance for the people that you are a part of. This has been the role of the Shaman and spiritual leaders in cultures all over the world for thousands of years.
In Black Elk Speaks (Neihardt, 1961, p.188), Black Elk states "When a vision comes... the world is greener and happier; for wherever the truth of vision comes upon the world, it is like a rain."
When referring to myth-makers such as shamans and artists in his book, The Power of Myth (1988, p.85), Joseph Campbell states:
"They (ideas and poetry) come out of an elite experience, the experience of people particularly gifted, whose ears are open to the song of the universe. These people speak to the folk, and there is an answer from the folk, which is received as an interaction. But the first impulse of shaping of a folk tradition comes from above, not below."
Receiving a vision benefits everyone involved. You receive direction and value at a personal level, and your community and culture also receive guidance and richness.
As Campbell pointed out, culture and tradition itself come from such experiences. Vision is the life-blood of culture, tradition, and ceremony.
Without the input of vision, tradition becomes outmoded and meaningless. A once vibrant ceremony or tradition soon becomes rote and detached from Life in the absence of current vision.

The builders have completed the installation of the fourth tier of the inner containment (IEC) of the reactor building of power unit No. 2.
The builders assembled 10 armored blocks 6.45 meters high and weighing about 50 tons each in 10 days. The installation of the tier raised the constructive of the second power unit to the level of 43.1 meters.
“The fourth tier is the beginning of the domed part of the inner protective containment. On this tier, the containment is narrowed for further installation of the dome. The peculiarity of the tier is that there are consoles in the armored blocks, on which a rail track is installed for the operation of the polar crane,” Andrey Osharin, first deputy director for the construction of new units of the Kursk NPP, explained.
“During the construction of the fourth tier, the many years’ experience in concreting protective containments were used, which made it possible to avoid time losses and make the most efficient use of available resources. Completion of this stage opens up several important operation areas at the construction of the second power unit of the Kursk NPP-2, such as the installation of a polar crane and the installation of the dome of the IEC,” said Oleg Shperle, vice president, project director for the construction of the Kursk NPP of JSC ASE.
The dome part also includes the installation of the fifth and sixth tiers. In accordance with the approved work schedule, the installation of the dome of power unit No. 2 is expected to be completed by the end of 2022.
The inner containment is one of the most important elements of the power unit's safety system, preventing the release of radioactive substances into the environment in case of an emergency.
The construction of power unit 1 and 2 of the Kursk NPP-2 is performed as part of the federal project "Design and construction of reference power units of nuclear power plants" of the Integrated Program "Development of equipment, technologies and scientific research in the sphere of the use of atomic energy in the Russian Federation for the period up to 2024. | [

The goal of the bone marrow transplant in women with breast cancer is to allow them to undergo high-dose chemotherapy which aggressively attacks the cancer cells, but also damages normal blood cells - and then replaces the damaged cells with healthy ones.
Bone marrow is the soft material in the center of bones. The bone marrow in the breastbone, skull, hips, ribs, and spine contains stem cells that produce the body's blood cells. The three kinds of blood cells that the body needs to function (oxygen-carrying red blood cells, infection-fighting white blood cells, and clot-forming platelets) are all made in the bone marrow.
Bone marrow given during a transplant either comes from the patient or from a donor whose bone marrow "matches" patients. The matching process is called human leukocyte antigen testing (HLA testing).
A number of tests are performed before the procedure to make sure the patient is physically able to undergo a transplant. These tests (for example blood tests, a CAT scan, bone marrow biopsy) also help the transplant team identify and treat any potential problems before the transplant.
Before the transplantation procedure, very high doses of chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy are given to destroy the abnormal stem cells and blood cells. During this phase of treatment, the patient receives intravenous (IV) fluids to flush out kidneys and minimize the damage from chemotherapy and medications to control nausea.
Because the patient is in a fragile state of health and he/she doesn't have enough white blood cells to be protected infection, he/she will be isolated in the hospital room until after the new bone marrow begins to grow.
A central venous catheter is a slender, hollow, flexible tube that allows fluids, nutrition solutions, antibiotics, chemotherapy, or blood products to be delivered directly into the patient’s bloodstream without repeatedly having to insert a needle into their vein so it must be inserted into a vein in patient chest during a simple surgical procedure before the bone marrow transplant can be performed.
Also, "colony-stimulating factors," which are hormone-like drugs, are given before bone marrow transplant to help white blood cells recover from chemotherapy so that they can help fight the risk of infection. They also increase the number of stem cells in the blood.
During a procedure in the operating room, the patient is given general anesthesia and bone marrow is withdrawn through a needle inserted into a bone in the hip. If patient’s own bone marrow cannot be used for transplantation and if a donor is not found, stem cells may be harvested from the circulating blood.
On the day that the patient receives a bone marrow transplant, the harvested bone marrow is infused into a vein through an intravenous tube. It looks like dark, thick blood and it migrates to the large bone cavities (breastbone, skull, hips, ribs, and spine), and begins producing normal blood cells after several weeks. | [

|Nguni Bull - Oil on Canvas 1300 x 900|
South Africa's indigenous Nguni cattle, long the mainstay of traditional Zulu culture, are possibly the most beautiful cattle in the world.
Nguni cattle are known for their fertility and resistance to diseases, being the favorite breed amongst the indigenous Bantu people of Southern Africa. They are characterized by their multi coloured skin, which can present many different patterns, but their noses are always black-tipped.

Convex mirrors can be used for a wide variety of purposes, from helping shopkeepers check for thieves to giving greater visibility when entering or exiting your driveway.
Here we take an in-depth look at convex observation mirrors so, if you’re thinking about purchasing one for your home or business, read on!
What is a convex mirror?
A convex mirror is a curved mirror, where the mirror lens curves outwards to provide a wider angle of view. These mirrors are also sometimes known as diverging mirrors, convex traffic mirrors or convex security mirrors and they can be used in many locations to improve safety and security.
How do convex mirrors work?
A convex mirror bulges outwards slightly and reflects light out towards its edges. Although it presents a distorted reflection, it gives you a wider field of view than a standard, flat mirror so you can see further around corners in your premises or bends in the road.
What are convex mirrors used for?
Homeowners or people who regularly park on a driveway with a bend may find convex mirrors to be of great value. They can be positioned on the roadside, which allows drivers to check and see if anyone is coming before pulling out. They can also be used outside busy schools where visibility is limited, or at busy junctions so cars can navigate the area more safely.
Convex mirrors can be used as a cheaper alternative to security cameras as they allow shopkeepers to monitor their premises. This can help to increase safety within the shop and reduce the risk of theft.
In construction sites and industrial spaces there may be a lot of blind spots. This increases the risk of accidents and injuries so convex mirrors are used to reduce this possibility. They can be installed in many locations, such as in vehicle compounds, at entrances and exits or in delivery and dispatch areas.
Which type of convex mirror is right for me?
There are several factors that you should take into consideration before purchasing your convex mirror. By thinking about certain factors beforehand you can ensure your mirror meets your expectations and fulfils your need for better visibility.
The bigger the mirror you choose, the more visibility you will get. Convex mirrors are available in a wide variety of sizes and so it’s important to think about where you can locate your mirror and what field of view you need to achieve.
Convex mirrors are available in many different shapes, sizes and angles. Some examples of angle size include a full-dome for a 360-degree view, a half dome for a 180-degree view, and a quarter dome for a 90-degree view.
Indoor or outdoor use
Where you are going to place your mirror will have a large impact on what features it will come with. If you are purchasing for outdoor use choose one with anti-frost and anti-condensation features.
Some convex mirrors are specially toughened with shock-resistant properties for use on busy roadsides or in factories and warehouses; others are made from lightweight acrylic materials that offer excellent visibility and ease of installation while also avoiding the safety risks associated with glass.
How do I maintain my convex mirror?
The great thing about convex mirrors is that they require very little maintenance. Once you install your mirror where you need it to go, it will serve you for years on end without needing more than a quick wipe clean to keep it in tip-top condition and ensure clear visibility every time you use it. | [

There have been varied reactions surrounding the revived Lamborghini Countach that was shown a few months ago. Officially dubbed the Countach LPI 800-4 some reckoned it's cool to see a modern interpretation of the wedge-shaped supercar. However, some designers were rather vocal with their pessimism about the product.
Not only that, the original designer, Marcello Gandini, made it known that he does not approve of the remake. Harsh.
Still, those bits of criticism didn't stop Lamborghini from getting a lot of bucks from the reskinned Aventador. In fact, all 112 cars to be built were spoken for even before they revealed the car to the public. Some will call it a cynical cash grab, but it did get the desired result for the company. It's rumored that each one is over one million dollars, so that's at least $ 112,000,000 for the folks from Sant'Agata.
Perhaps to the surprise of a few people, most of those who bought the revived Countach already own the original article. In Lamborghini's words, “Most of the orders were placed by enthusiasts who already own an original Countach”. You can also bet that a lot of these cars were also configured in a bespoke manner. It will be interesting to see if any of the 112 cars were inspired by the winged (or double-winged) model of the '80s. It'll be plus points for anyone who requested a front wing be attached to their reborn Countach.
Of course, Lamborghini didn't mention how each of the cars we configured and customized. Besides, millionaires and billionaires would like a bit of privacy too. The Italian automaker did share the color options the lucky 112 chose from when they were called in to make their Countach uniquely theirs. From classic colors such as Verde Medio to modern shades like Arancio Aten, the Countach buyers were spoiled for choice.
Lamborghini will begin delivering the cars to their owners by the first quarter of 2022. Each one will likely be unique, but all will have the same engine. The 112 cars will have a hybridized version of the 6.5-liter V12 from the Aventador. It's essentially a slightly detuned version of the one used in the Sian, and it's good for 803 horsepower (599 kilowatts).
But if it's the classic Countach lines you're looking for, there is hope. You can always ask Lamborghini to build one for you, just like the one that was recently completed for a mystery client as a one-off. Of course, you'll need more than $ 1,000,000 in the bank to get that done. | [

I have a Maltese dog who is very hyperactive. I take him for walks, but he seems to be bored & stares at me all the time to entertain him. Fortunately for him, we are retired, he has a huge yard, but prefers to be inside. He is just over 1 yr old, 10 lbs. Doesn't have an appetite- eats half a handful of food. We have no family, so it is just me mostly taking care of Buddy the bored Maltese. Any suggestions on how to wear him out and get him to eat more? The Vet said he is healthy & not to worry.
Thank you for contacting me! What a lucky dog!
Here are a few things you might try to keep your lucky Maltese entertained!
- Stop feeding in a bowl! Seriously. Use food carrier toys such as Kongs, Treatsie Rolls, or Tricky Treats, toss food all over the floor or out in your yard for hours of scavenging fun, create your own food carrier toys using boxes or paper bags (with the handles cut off), or use your dog or cats food for training.
- Feed good healthy food. If you're not sure what that is do some research. Or visit the Healthy Pet in town.
- Novelty is good, so wash and regularly rotate toys.
- Rotate chew toys such as bully sticks, rawhide (American made, pressed or rolled are my preference), Nylabones, marrow bones, and Snook's sweet potato dog chews are a few of my favorites.
- Hide toys/treats around the house for your dog or cat to find while you're away (use this game with caution if you have a multi-animal household).
- Teach your dog a few tricks, just for fun!
- Take a group training class even if your dog doesn't "need" training.
- Massage your dog for a few minutes every day. (this will also help you detect lumps or suspicious growths early)
- Turn on the TV. The noise can help mask ambient noise and provide company and mental stimulation. There are specialty DVDs you can buy just for your dogs viewing enjoyment.
- Hire a dog walker or pet sitter to come in and walk your dog.
- Snuggle, pet, and relax for a few minutes every day.
- Try a dog sport such as agility or fly ball.
- Adopt a friend! Not all animals love the company of another furry critter in the house, but sometimes adding a friend can do wonders for their physical and mental well-being.
It's also a good idea to work on relaxation exercises, it's pretty easy for dogs to get wound up and excited, but can be difficult for them to calm down. This isn't something that all dogs do naturally, but you can train them to do it. There is an exercise I teach called settle on a mat which is a great way to help dogs learn how to relax and chill out a little. I've attached it for you to look over. Let me know if you have any questions, Jennifer | [

Editor's note: This story has been updated to better reflect Voyager's proposed plan of reorganization, which requires court approval.
Voyager Digital CEO Stephen Ehrlich said Wednesday that customers with U.S. dollar deposits on its brokerage platform will receive access to funds after the completion of a fraud prevention process.
What Happened: Earlier today, Benzinga reported that Voyager Digital Ltd. VYGVF filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
Voyager has approximately $1.3 billion of cryptocurrency assets on its platform, besides claims against Three Arrows Capital (3AC) of more than $650 million.
Voyager CEO Stephen Ehrlich addressed the situation on Twitter Inc TWTR, sharing details of a plan of reorganization that he said would return account access to customers.
Customers with crypto in their account(s) will receive in exchange a combination of the crypto in their account(s), proceeds from the 3AC recovery, common shares in the newly reorganized Company, and Voyager tokens.— Stephen Ehrlich (@Ehrls15) July 6, 2022
Under the proposed plan, customers would receive a combination of crypto, proceeds from the 3AC recovery process, equity shares in the newly organized company and the platform’s native Ethereum ETH/USD-based crypto token Voyager Token VGX/USD.
At press time, VGX was trading at $0.214, recording a 13% decline over 24 hours.
“It’s important to note that as part of this announcement we are confirming that customers with USD deposits in their account(s) will receive access to those funds after a reconciliation and fraud prevention process is completed with Metropolitan Commercial Bank,” stated Ehrlich in his Twitter update.
For additional questions about the Chapter 11 process, you can call 1 (855) 473-8665 (toll-free in the U.S.) or +1 (949) 271-6507 (for parties outside the U.S.), or visit https://t.co/pJwk9cP8By. As always, thank you for your continued support.— Stephen Ehrlich (@Ehrls15) July 6, 2022
I want my crypto and my USDC! You screwed us over.— Rebekah Brown (@busymomofsoccer) July 6, 2022
A majority of customers took to Twitter to share their displeasure at Voyager’s proposed means for reimbursing their accounts.
Sounds to me like we will only get money back if we had USD. The rest of our crypto will be used to get them out of debt and they will pay us back by giving us shares in their reorganized company.— NaSCΞNT (@CryptoCitizen88) July 6, 2022
I could be wrong though.
I'm sorry about what happened to you but please open your eyes. You've been fleeced.— Mike Alfred (@mikealfred) July 6, 2022

Important Aspects of Gambling Online
When you are planning to gamble online, there are several things you should know. You should
know about the Regulation of online gambling, the game variety live casino Malaysia, payback percentages and the
addiction potential. Then you can choose the right website for you. This article will cover the
most important aspects of gambling online. Also, read about the pros and cons of different
games. You will also learn the most important tips for gambling safely. But remember that there
is always a limit.
Regulation of online gambling
In most jurisdictions, online gambling activity is regulated by an official body. The United States,
some Canadian provinces Online Casino Malaysia, and the European Union all allow some form of online gambling.
Regulatory agencies in each country ensure that the games are fair and not exploited by
unscrupulous operators. For example, the Caribbean has passed legislation allowing online
gambling. The UK has implemented similar rules, though there are some differences between
the two jurisdictions.
The United States has two levels of regulatory oversight, federal and state. Federal regulations
cover the entire country, while state regulations regulate only the specific state. While federal
legislation is unclear, most state regulations are more specific. In fact, only a few states have
specifically focused legislation for online gambling. Regardless of the level of regulation, the
safety of online gambling is a top priority for most governments. There are many factors to
consider when evaluating online gambling sites.
When playing online slots, it is essential to check out the payback percentage of a particular
game. This percentage helps players decide which games will give them the highest payout.
However, there are other factors that will influence the payback percentage, too. For example, if
a game has an RTP of 95%, then that means that for every hundred dollars you wager, you will
receive $95 in return. It is also important to note that this payout percentage is not the same for
all online slot machines.
Another factor that will affect your payback percentage is the type of game you are playing.
While most slot machines pay out between $0.94 and $0.98 per dollar, some games have a
higher or lower payback percentage. The payback percentage for a particular game will depend
on the number of spins you make and the type of machine you play. You should also take into
account the theme of the game, since different slot machines offer different payout percentages.
Among all online activities, internet gaming has the highest addictive potential. However, other
communication-intense activities, such as chatting, are also addictive. And girls are more likely
to engage in problem internet activities than boys. This is a concern, but fortunately, more
research is needed to better understand the addictive potential of these activities. To learn more
about the addictive potential of these activities, read on! And don’t forget to share your
experiences with others.
Another concern with online gambling is its easy access to money. The easy availability of funds
in an internet casino may encourage impulse betting and result in financial ruin. Additionally,
Internet gambling is a highly private activity, which allows its addicts to hide their behavior.
However, if a gambler does pre-planning, their behavior is more likely to remain hidden. But be
aware that internet gambling has the same addictive potential as land-based gambling.
Where to Gamble Online
You can play real-money casino games without paying anything, and most online casinos have
plenty of incentives for their players casino singapore online. Just make sure to check out the gambling laws of your
country, and choose an online casino that supports them. It’s also important to read reviews of
the site, and make sure to look for legality and fairness. It’s also important to choose a site that
offers free games so you can test its legitimacy before making any deposits.
Before deciding where to gamble online, make sure to choose a website that offers a wide
selection of slots trusted online casino singapore. You may also want to check out random gambling games, like blackjack | [

Toddlers at the Table: Avoiding Power Struggles
Toddlers are learning to navigate their world, communicate, and control some parts of their lives. They don't actually have control over much, but eating is one of the first areas where they will.
Parents can help them enjoy their limited power by giving them some amount of freedom when it comes to choosing foods and eating them.
That's not to say toddlers are deciding what to have for dinner. Parents have the important job of providing the kinds of foods that an active toddler needs. A parent's role is to present healthy foods and let a child decide which ones to eat — or whether to eat at all. Parents can steer a toddler toward healthy eating, but might have to do it in a crafty way.
Here's how to turn common concerns into chances to teach healthy eating habits.
Most Toddlers Are Picky Eaters
Many toddlers express their budding independence through eating — or not eating, as the case may be. So nearly all toddlers could be described as picky eaters. If kids don't like a food, they won't eat it — it's that simple.
Does your toddler want to eat only macaroni and cheese? When a child is stuck on one food, a parent might feel forced to serve that food every day so the child eats something. But eventually the child may tire of that food — and then what?
You choose the foods on your toddler's plate — and you don't have to serve macaroni and cheese daily. If you do, you miss a chance to introduce new foods and increase the number of foods your child is willing to eat. Most of these "food jags" won't last long if parents don't give in to them.
Kids won't starve, but they will learn to be more flexible rather than go hungry. Serve a variety of healthy foods — including known favorites and some new foods — to make up the menu. Your toddler may surprise you one day by eating all of them.
Your toddler doesn't like green beans the first time around? Don't stop serving them. Kids are naturally slow to accept new tastes and textures, so keep reintroducing the beans. Serve a small portion and encourage your child to try a bite without nagging or forcing.
And be sure you're setting a good example! Serve nutritious foods that you like or eat something new so your kids see you enjoying what you're asking them to eat.
Don't Bargain for Bites
You want your child to eat the spinach you serve; your child drops it on the floor. Your well-meaning impulse may be to start talking up nutritious foods, saying how big and strong spinach will make your child. Or you might start bargaining: "If you eat 3 more bites, I'll give you a cookie." The problem is that these tactics don't work in the long run.
Who hasn't used the line about spinach making you strong? But this approach may build dislike for the healthy food rather than acceptance. Keep teaching kids about the benefits of healthy foods, but don't push too much by cheering every bite of spinach your toddler eats or disapproving when they refuse.
For some kids, dinner becomes a negotiation session from the very start, and parents have been using dessert as motivation for decades. But this doesn't encourage healthy eating. Instead it creates the impression that "treats" are more valuable than mealtime food. Foods like candy and cookies are not essential to a child's diet.
Threatening a punishment, much like bribing a child with dessert, won't work in the long run either. It creates a power struggle.
To encourage healthy eating, continue offering your child nutritious choices — and keep the mealtime mood upbeat. Also try these tips:
- Serve right-sized portions. Parents often overestimate how much food a child should eat. Especially with foods that aren't yet favorites, a couple of tablespoons is plenty to start with. Small portions are less overwhelming, while bigger portions may encourage overeating.
- Don't negotiate. It's fine to encourage kids to "try a bite" but don't fall into the negotiating trap. Prepare and serve healthy meals and let them decide what to eat.
- Have family meals together. Set your toddler's place at the family table — it's good for kids of this age to see their parents and siblings eating together and eating healthy foods. Kids eat a more nutritious diet, with more fruits and vegetables, when they regularly have family meals.
Let Kids Feed Themselves
Kids should start finger feeding around 9 months of age and try using utensils by 15–18 months. Provide many opportunities for this, but make sure your toddler eats enough so that it doesn't lead to frustration.
Jump in to help when necessary, but pay attention to hunger cues and signs that your child is full. You can | [

Hydraulic cylinder manufacturers explain how to avoid air into the hydraulic system
According to the hydraulic cylinder manufacturer, under normal circumstances, the oil used in the hydraulic system has only a small contraction. And most of the time its effects are ignored. However, because low pressure air is so constrictive, about 10, 000 times as much as oil, even a small amount of air in the system can have a significant impact. The manufacturer of the hydraulic cylinder explains that if air enters the hydraulic system, some of it will dissolve in the oil. When the pressure of the system decreases, these air will run out again, bubbles will occur, forming a cavitation phenomenon, and in the high pressure area under the action of the pressure oil these bubbles will be instantly broken, subjected to sharp contraction, will cause a larger noise in the system. In addition, because the air is compressed, it releases a lot of heat, which can cause overheating problems in the parts, damaging the hydraulic components and the hydraulic oil. The hydraulic cylinder manufacturer thinks, this is because the air can tighten very big, it can also cause the actuator to creep, damage the working stability, if serious, also can cause the whole system to appear vibration situation. Of course, these air once mixed into the hydraulic oil temporary, also very simple cause the disintegration of hydraulic oil, so we have to pay attention to avoid air into the hydraulic system. Hydraulic cylinder manufacturers suggest, from the air into the system for different reasons for analysis, then we in the use of time, need to pay attention to the problem is: 1, often check the height of the liquid level in the tank, adhere to its height; 2. Avoid the pressure everywhere in the system to be lower than the atmospheric pressure as far as possible, and ensure good sealing device performance. Hydraulic cylinder manufacturers believe that it is best to set the upper part of the cylinder of the corresponding exhaust valve, so that you can enter the system in a timely manner to the air out. | [

SIP trunking is the process of sending data from one IP or network address to another IP. It is a very popular way of making calls, making voice or video conferencing and sending emails across the internet with very little extra cost on your part.
There are two types of SIP trunking options – a hosted SIP trunk or an IP-based SIP trunk. The hosted SIP trunk allows you to talk to the SIP server with a third-party IP. This option is used by a lot of small and medium sized businesses and individuals alike for making international calls and sending SMS text messages. The IP based SIP trunk is more flexible and efficient means of using SIP while at the same time it provides your business with more capacity.
In the IP-based SIP trunking, your business will have to buy a separate IP to host the trunk. This requires that your business has more than one physical server which can be very costly. With the hosted SIP trunk, you only pay for the IP address that you actually use for the entire operation.
The other main difference between a hosted and an SIP based system is that hosted systems require that you buy the hardware to get started. A hosted system allows you to connect to the SIP server but it does not require any additional hardware. The hardware that you need is provided by the SIP provider. Most of the time, you will have a license to use the server which is usually free. Some providers also provide software and applications which you can use to operate your business with SIP.
A SIP account will allow you to make your own calls using your own phone number, using your own network. You can use the SIP account for a longer period of time and it will not charge you anything. When you buy a SIP trunk, you will be charged for the usage charges of the SIP trunk service. This can vary depending on how many minutes you want to be billed for.
When you set up a SIP account, you will have to choose the SIP provider and then sign a contract with them. You must understand how long you will be able to use the SIP service and what types of features you wish to receive. Some services will include fax support and conference calling.
When you are setting up a SIP account you must select the type of service provider you will use. There are three basic types of services; hosted, IP-based and SIP trunking. There are also some special features that you can select depending on your business needs.
Setting up an account is relatively easy when you know how to do it correctly. Once you have your account set up, you will have the ability to communicate with your clients from anywhere in the world and make more calls.
When you set up a SIP trunk, the SIP provider will provide the equipment, software and documentation to make your calls as if you were using your own phone line. If you use the hosted option, you will have an IP phone that connects to the SIP trunk service. You will be able to use your normal phone number to call your customers. The cost of these services can vary greatly.
If you are interested in using a hosted service, it is very easy to set one up. All you will need is an IP address, which you can get by doing an IP address lookup. The SIP service provider will provide you with your own IP address. Then all you will need to do is enter this address into the SIP account setup page and the SIP service will provide you with your own IP address. In most cases the SIP service provider will provide you with an IP phone number.
In order to get started, you will need to select the SIP service you would like and you will need to create a SIP account which will allow you to create a user ID and password. You will also need to create your own SIP trunk service account. After creating your account, you can set up your own SIP account, enter your own IP address and create your own toll billing plan. Once the account is set up, you can then call your customer from the SIP trunk service, even if they are on the other side of the world.
As you can see, there are several differences between a SIP account and a SIP trunk. It may be helpful for you to familiarize yourself with how the two work before making a decision. | [

Ninja and Undisputed director Isaac Florentine can be seen back in front of the camera soon – giving lessons to none other than Antonio Banderas for ‘Stoic‘
While he stepped back somewhat to serve as a hands-on producer for Boyka: Undisputed 4, his latest collaboration with leading man Scott Adkins bore all the marks of an Isaac Florentine film, delivering plenty of high impact action. Now Florentine is back in the director’s chair and also back in front of the camera for the first time since Farewell Terminator, for his latest project Stoic.
Desperado / Zorro / Expendables’ Antonio Banderas plays a fast talking lawyer whose life is shattered by the brutal murder of his wife and daughter. The lawyer undergoes a physical transformation training under a hard core Karate Sensei (Florentine) and taking a vow of silence: he swears not to break until he has taken bloody revenge.
A lifelong martial artist, Florentine is one of the few western directors who funderstands and embraces full blooded martial arts action and we’ve long championed his work on everything from US Seals 2, Special Forces, Savate, to the Ninja and Undisputed series. He’s also the man who saw the potential of Scott Adkins from the beginning, and helped launch his career.
Stoic features a strong supporting cast that includes Karl Urban from Dredd and Star Trek, Paz Vega from Kill The Messenger / Sex and Lucia, the great Robert Foster (Jackie Brown, Alligator) and David Sakurai most recently seen in Iron Fist, while Tim Man (Triple Threat, Boyka: Undisputed) handles the films fight and stunt choreography. | [

How Big Is The Universe
How big is the universe (In Numbers)
Lets start off by saying IT IS STILL EXPENDING, and to top that off, the rate of expansion is actually increasing, it is one of the universe’s greatest unsolved mysteries. The short answer to this age old question would be that the universe is, take a deep breath… seventy-nine sextillion, nine hundred twenty-one quintillion, seventy quadrillion, seven hundred eighty-seven trillion, and six hundred billion miles. But could it be that simple? well no, far from it.
how Big Is The Universe (What’s the catch)
The number 13.4 billion light years merely refers to the visible universe, the universe which we are able to view. The problem in figuring out exactly how big the universe is, is that we are limited by the laws of physics themselves, to be more specific, the physics of how light travels through space.
It is a well known and accepted theory that the universe started from a small singularity and in a faction of a fraction of a second it exploded into what we know as the universe, the big bang theory that is, when this “bang” occurred, two things started moving at an incredible speed, light (photon particles), and space it self. Light is considered to be the universal speed limit, nothing can or does move faster… except for space it self, the expansion rate of the space or size of the universe is much faster than light, because of this little rule, we can only see as far out into space as light managed to travel to.
How Big Is The Universe (Put Into Prospective)
- Distance between the earth and the sun: 94 million miles, it would take 17 years to fly there in a
- Size of our solar system: approximately 2,815,000,000 miles across.
- Number of stars (suns, some with planets in orbit) in our Galaxy: approximately 100 billion (100,000,000,000)
- Number of Galaxies in the visible universe: Approximately 125 billion.
How Big Is The Universe (Bonus Fact)
The Hubble Ultra Deep Field image is one of the most amazing images taken in human history. Over the course of nearly 4 months, this $1.5 billion of human ingenuity gathered light from the farthest reaches of space, the telescope focused on a 0.0016 Inches Squared area of the night sky and what it found was incredibly shocking to say the least, the image seen below contains approximately 10,000 galaxies, at about 100 billion stars per galaxy, that is a breathtakingly large number of suns in such a small patch in the sky. | [

Help Mend Kumacho’s Broken Heart!Mallory Blair
Kumacho & his siblings were dumped in the streets when they were babies. When he was rescued and taken to the shelter, it was discovered he had a birth defect in the heart – which results in serious, life-threatening changes in the way that the heart pumps blood through his body.
If not treated, Kumacho’s condition will lead to heart failure within his first year. However, with surgery he can live a long, healthy and happy a life.
Kumacho needs our help to get this life-saving heart surgery – Just $10 will help fix his broken heart!
For as long as I can remember, my main passion in life has been animals. I started Freekibble.com in 2008 to help feed shelter pets. To date, we've donated over 21 million meals to homeless dogs and cats across the country. In large part, this has been possible because of the amazing support of the Freekibble community.
Freekibble Cares features causes each month focused on improving the lives of all different types of animals, showcasing groups doing important work for animals and asking that people support them. 100% of your donations go directly to that cause … it all makes a difference!

Cardi B swiftly ѕһᴜt dowп гᴜmoгѕ suggesting that she’s working on a diss tгасk aimed at Nicki Minaj, amidst their ongoing feud.
The 26-year-old “Bodak Yellow” rapper found herself in the spotlight on Wednesday, October 17, following claims by TMZ that her upcoming music would contain “ѕeгіoᴜѕ jabs at Nicki.” Cardi wаѕted no time in clarifying the situation.
In a now-deleted Instagram post, she directly addressed TMZ, criticizing their reporting practices. “Dear TMZ… ya constantly got me in ya blog spreading fаke s—t about me without doing ya research and even when we tell ya is not true ya still рᴜѕһ it,” she expressed. “Ya motherf—kers need to ɡet off my d—k and start reporting about them actresses ya used to report саᴜѕe I’m not the one to f—k with THANK YOU!! Btw in REAL news my single ‘moпeу’ drops November 26!!”
Cardi’s response follows a recent physical altercation between her and Minaj, 35, during a New York Fashion Week event. Sources informed Us at the time that Cardi, known for “I Like It,” tһгew her shoe at Minaj, ассᴜѕіпɡ her of criticizing her parenting ѕkіɩɩѕ concerning her baby daughter, Kulture. Cardi opened up about the іпсіdeпt to W Magazine, stating that Minaj has “been taking a lot of ѕһotѕ at” her “for a while now.”
This ѕһагр exchange between the two artists is just one episode in their ongoing feud, which has frequently made headlines and dгаwп attention from fans and the medіа alike.
Despite the teпѕіoп between Cardi B and Nicki Minaj, Cardi remains foсᴜѕed on her music career, with her single “moпeу” slated for гeɩeаѕe on November 26. This declaration underscores her сommіtmeпt to her craft amidst the dгаmа surrounding her personal and professional life. | [

Because Charlotte is surrounded by rural counties, the city’s markets offer the chance to not only enjoy fresh veggies and produce, but also an opportunity to meet many of the growers and breeders behind your dinner. While Saturday mornings in the summer, you’ll find markets scattered around the city, these are the top three to hit for the freshest fare.
King’s Drive Farmer’s Market
This family owned market isn’t the largest in town, but its central location and variety of offerings makes it one of the most popular. Here you’ll find seasonal favorites like peaches and strawberries in the warmer months, as well as fresh cut flowers, locally-raised meats and eggs, and an entire nursery full of plants and herbs. In the fall and winter, the market turns into a top spot for picking out pumpkins and Christmas trees alongside seasonal produce.
Charlotte Regional Farmers Market
This is the city’s largest farmers market—it’s set on 22 acres. Here you’ll find both local produce as well as more exotic offerings from vendors, such as Asian fruits. There are also sellers offering crafts, handmade goods, and baked items, perfect for packing up to take home.
Atherton Mill Market
Quite possibly the city’s most charming market, this South End spot is housed in a former warehouse and feels like a stroll through a European market. You’ll find local cheeses and breads, as well as more specialty style items such as nuts, honey, pickles, and jams. Plus, plan on picking up delicacies like ostrich or tilapia as well. | [

Since the force of gravity varies as the square of the inverse distance between objects why not make the ultimate extrapolation and let the distance go to zero? You get a LOT of density. Maybe it goes BOOM! But wait a minute, maybe it goes in the opposite direction and goes MOOB! Whatever. Most astronomers decided anyway that this was the only source that could explain the observed jets and explosions in galaxies. Of course it gets very complicated. Also there are a few annoying details right from the beginning:
Then again how would you like a black hole of 10 billion solar masses (the mass of a whole galaxy) completely formed only a billion years from the Big Bang beginning? The discoverers spoke freely in the popular press
Accretion processes onto Black Holes are supposed to enable them to radiate high energy X-rays. When X-ray telescopes found strong X-ray sources in galaxies they said, aha, this is too strong to be an X-ray star so it must be a black hole in orbit around a star - a binary with a massive black hole revolving around it. Discovery of these now MASSIVE Black holes was so exciting that innumerable papers have appeared showing the X-ray positions and deep photographs at the positions the objects.
Strangely, when these objects were seen optically no one took spectra in order to see what they actually were. Finally a paper appeared in a refereed Journal3 where the authors showed the spectra of two of them to be that of high redshift quasars! Just to cement the case they looked at previously identified quasar in or close to galaxies and in 24 out of 24 cases the quasars belonged to the class of Ultra Luminous X-ray Sources.
What was put out recently as a press release was the observation of Xray outbursts at the center of a galaxy. This was heralded as gas spinning around a Black Hole4. This is the classical interpretation of + and - redshifts as orbital velocities instead of opposite ejection velocities. I noticed they say the photons go ”down in frequency” (translation: they are redshifted) by climbing out of the gravitational hole. If so, the lines would be smeared out by gravitational gradients. It sounds to me like good old fashioned intrinsic redshifts.
Ironically, the galaxy is a well known, very active galaxy called NGC 3516. Previously published results5, reprinted here in Fig. 1, show apparently ejected X-ray sources are really high redshift quasars. Perhaps those quoted in the news story should consider whether they have instead observed ejection of new quasars which are evolving into new galaxies as they travel outward.
Ever more recent press releases report the finding in cosmic microwave backgound radiation, of cooler spots about one degree radius around supposedly very distant galaxy clusters6. One of the authors was quoted as saying Our results may ultimately undermine the belief that the Universe is dominated by a cold dark matter particle and even more enigmatic dark energy. Well that is standard closing for many press releases. But seriously, the 1 degree radius agrees with observed quasar families evidentially being ejected from active parent galaxies6. and example in Fig.1 here. How does this connect?
Ejections from Black Holes are hypothesized to come about when a star or other object falls splat against the surface of a black hole (or accretion disk). But whole quasars and proto galaxies which evolve into normal galaxies out of the fraction that escapes coherently are too much to ask for. Hence the rejection of Ambarzumian’s observational conclusion around 1959 that new galaxies were born out of old galaxies. And thus leading to the importance of ejection of low particle mass seed galaxies which also accounts for the high redshifts7. It would be natural to think that nearby cool spots on the sky as large as the 1 degree radius observed have something to do with the associations of nearby parent galaxies with evolving quasars and galaxies.
But to get down to the fundamental assumptions involved, I remember an Astrophysics lunch at Cal Tech about 30 years ago. Stephen Hawking sat across the table from several of us who were discussing observations of ejection of new galaxies from the compact nuclei of active galaxies. Nothing of this ever crept into Hawking’s assumptions about Black Holes. Only very recently has he abandoned his dictum that nothing comes out of Black Holes and famously now concedes that a ”little bit” does come out. Meanwhile, in the many intervening years, stunning new evidence has emerged on the White Hole propensities of nature. Its only failure I can see is not getting into the press releases.

Van der Graaf Generator is a stripped-down trio of original 1968 members Hugh Banton (organ), Guy Evans (drums) and Peter Hammill (vox, guitar, piano), who made a storming return to live performance in the spring of 2007. The band started recording their album in July 2007, after a period of mixing and overdubbing Trisector. There are nine pieces on the album, one of them instrumental. Unusually for VDGG, only one of these is more than ten minutes long - indeed, five come in at under five minutes. There are, of course, passages of great complexity but there's also a confidence about the group which allows them to leave some simple things as they are.

The theme here seems to be the coming to grips with getting older and facing the inevitable, but by no means in a depressing way. A prime example is The Final Reel, a song about an elderly couple deciding to end it all while they're still able to make the decision for themselves. It's handled in a sweet and poignant way.
Highlights abound; the spirited playing throughout, the amazing Over the Hill, that literally had me catching my breath and gave me goosebumps, All That Before, a song relating to absentmindedness that actually brings humor to the subject and there's so much more.
If you're a VDGG fan that's worried that you might not like this because DJ isn't on it, don't be. I promise that you'll be more than happy to own it. I think anyone who enjoys good intelligent music that's well-played will love this CD. Here's hoping there are more releases to come.
The compositions are very well constructed with intricate tempos and deep moods.This cd is full of energy and VDGG fans will be delighted. I consider it way better than Presence. You will not be dissapointed if you are into quality prog.
But having said all that, how is the disc?
"The Hurlyburly," at 4'38", opens the album with train noises, tuning up, and the band fiddling around on their instruments before dropping into a straightforward, instrumental rocker. In all, it sounds more like a somewhat lazy, amped up jam session; in particular, the "looseness" that characterizes much of Hammill's solo guitar playing sounds sloppy, hesitant, or simply too repetitious. Not a very promising start, but the piece is short, and when not listened to closely fills up the background well enough.
"Interference Patterns," at 3'52", provides a 1000% contrast, opening with a broken up, linear keyboard line that sounds like a handsome hello backward to Gentle Giant. Bass joins the keyboard pattern, which squirrels back and forth between two different time signatures, as Hammill begins to bend and twist his typically intelligent lyrics to fit the keyboard pattern--itself creating a kind of interference pattern. At this point, it's already clear that this song will get an immediate second playing, but then at 1'42", suddenly the music erupts into a crazy multidirectional keyboard carnival, hectic doubled notes and drums thrumming out. A stand-out track that already makes the disc worth buying.
"The Final Reel," at 5'49", is a gentle, somewhat bleak narrative about a worn out Jack and Jill, who see their time has come and decide to skip the final reel, as it were. This is a slow building song, the moves almost imperceptibly from a kind of loungy-beginning, to a jagged, harmonically knotted up finish. If Hammill had any doubts about calling up his old bandmates to help out with more music, this song should put it to rest--it's very easy to hear the Hammill-solo version here, ably and cunningly fleshed out by Evans' and Banton's considerable musical experience and insight.
"Lifetime," at 4'47", is the only Hammill-only composed song. Again, one can hear the Hammill vs. VDGG contrast easily; Hammill's lyrics float in the middle, noodling a bit on guitar, while lush keyboard accompaniments provide a boundary and a cushion for that, and Evans simply sits on his high-hat, until the more expansive coda that rounds out the song. Pretty, serviceable, the sedate moodiness of this piece makes it sink somewhat into obscurity.
"Drop Dead," at 4'52", gronks out a fuzzy guitar line to chase off any indolence leftover from the last piece, and drops square into another | [

On December 7, 1972, three astronauts were launched aboard the Saturn V rocket for what became the last time mankind set foot on the moon.
The crew consisted of Eugene (Gene) A. Cernan, as commander, Harrison H. Schmitt, as pilot of the lunar module Challenger, and Ronald E. Evans, as pilot of the command module America.
On the 11th, while Evans remained in orbit, Cernan and Schmitt made history as the last of the 12 men to walk on the lunar surface.
Exactly 50 years later, the Artemis 1 mission – the first in NASA’s new lunar exploration program – successfully completed on December 11, 2022.
The main objective of this unmanned flight was to circle our natural satellite to test essential technologies for all other missions of the Artemis program, such as the vehicular mega-complex formed by the rocket Space Launch System (SLS) and the Orion capsule, as well as communication and life support systems.
After that, the next flight is scheduled for 2024, with a crew on board the Artemis 2 mission, which was designed to repeat the same circuit, also without landing on lunar soil.
This, incidentally, should only happen between 2025 and 2026, with Artemis 3, which will finally take humanity to step on the Moon again. Last Friday (13), NASA released an update with more details about the mission.
Artemis 3 mission launch
Four astronauts will lift off from Launch Pad 39B at Kennedy Space Center in Florida atop the SLS, the only rocket capable of sending the Orion capsule, crew and supplies to the moon in a single flight.
The crew will be selected from the most diverse corps of astronauts in history, each with unique skills and intensely trained.
First, the crew will enter Earth orbit, where they will perform system checks and adjustments on Orion’s solar array. Then, a powerful boost from the SLS’s interim cryogenic propulsion stage will help the capsule perform a translunar injection maneuver, setting its course for the Moon.
For several days, the crew will go to the Moon and perform corrective engine burns to intercept the gravitational field of our natural satellite. At the right time and place, Orion will perform a series of two engine burns to place itself in a near-rectilinear halo orbit (NRHO).
From hundreds of potential orbits, NASA selected the NRHO to achieve the long-term goals of the Artemis program. The NRHO will provide near-constant communications with Earth and access to locations on the Moon.
Because it is gravitationally balanced between the Earth and the Moon, this orbit will increase energy efficiency. On future missions, NASA and its partners will place the Lunar Gateway space station at this NRHO to serve as a hub for the Artemis missions.
Landing system provided by SpaceX
NASA selected SpaceX to provide the human landing system that will transport the Artemis 3 astronauts from inside Orion in lunar orbit to the surface of the Moon and back.
According to the US space agency, SpaceX plans to use a unique concept of operations to increase the overall efficiency of its lander.
After a series of tests, Elon Musk’s company will carry out at least one unmanned demonstration mission that will land the Starship on the lunar surface. When Starship meets all of NASA’s requirements and the crew’s high safety standards, it will be ready for its first Artemis mission.
First landing on the lunar surface in the 21st century
In preparation for Artemis 3, prior to the crew launch, SpaceX will deploy a storage depot in Earth orbit. A series of reusable tanks will transport the propellant to the storage depot to fuel the human landing system.
The Starship Unmanned Human Landing System will launch into Earth orbit and meet the storage depot to refuel its tanks before performing a translunar injection engine burn and traveling approximately six days to the NRHO, where it will be waiting for the Artemis 3 crew.
When the two spacecraft arrive at the NRHO, Orion will dock with SpaceX’s Human Landing System in preparation for the first lunar surface expedition of the 21st century.
Two astronauts will board the lander and two will remain in Orion, which will undock and depart Starship to remain in NRHO for approximately one orbit around the Moon, lasting about 6.5 days.
This will correspond to the duration of the surface expedition; therefore, when Orion completes its orbit, the two-person surface crew will complete their work in time to leave to search for the spacecraft.
For the Artemis era of human lunar exploration, NASA is considering locations around the South Pole.
The extreme and contrasting conditions make this region a difficult place for Earthlings to land, live and work, but the region’s unique characteristics promise unprecedented scientific discoveries in | [

The Edge, a BSBG-designed office building in Dubai Internet City, has won both categories for which it was nominated in the International Property Awards 2017. Picking up the top awards for Office Architecture (Dubai) and Office Development (Dubai), The Edge has proven to be one of the benchmark projects in Dubai for BSBG. The International Property Awards 2017 – MENA region ceremony is due to be held in September, and as winner of the Dubai categories, The Edge is now automatically in the running to pick up further awards in both the Arabia and International categories to be announced on the night.
In the meantime, here is an overview of the project, which became an award-winning development and one of our most popular buildings – instantly recognisable, and now recognised for architectural excellence – The Edge.
The Edge is a modern office tower situated in Dubai Internet City, designed and supervised by BSBG on behalf of developer Sweid & Sweid.
The design brief for The Edge called for a high-end, modern and distinguished office building with a unique aesthetical quality. A technically robust and flexible design in terms of office floor plate was required, capable of hosting smaller tenancies or large-scale organisations. The floor plate design was to deliver the option for both open plan or sub-divided office spaces according to the preference of the occupants. The Edge is now at 100% occupancy, just 10 months after completion.
After initial planning was complete and the prescribed outcome was definitively inferred in terms of modulation and provision of office floor plates, the concept design of the façade evolved over a seven-step process.
The design was based on achieving the maximum GFA provision on the site, whereby the primary planning was established through engaging with the authorities on the structure and entry locations of the building. To achieve the full GFA provision, an efficient parking design was required which was further challenged by the irregular shape of the development plot. Close engagement with the authorities through all design stages was the only way in which this could be achieved.
Aesthetically, the design was moulded around the structural form of the building to maximise the GFA. The façade evolution amounted to an eventual re-planning of the building and the aesthetics of both the interiors and external design.
The building envelope is derived from a strong emphasis on the structural grid. The perimeter columns are architecturally expressed while the façade uses a glazed curtain walling system repetitious in module. The geometry of the building form results in a cubic appearance. Emphasis on vertical elements has been incorporated into the design of the façade to give the building more height and prominence.
A plan was formulated to try to emphasise the structure and engage it with the perimeter of the building and the façade system, so that the structural elements inside were also expressed externally.
The secondary consideration in this regard was to improve the efficiency of the floor plates, providing a larger-span open-plan environment on each floor, encouraging creativity and a collaborative working mechanism for occupants.
Multiple studies were conducted on the double height entrance to maintain the verticality of the building. The fenestration and the external fins were also the subject of in-depth exploration, during which time consideration was given to the appearance for occupants internally, and the need to forge a balance with the skin of the building from an environmental and aesthetic point of view.
The final design conveys a cube-shaped building with distinct, clean lines accentuated by vertical fins protruding from the glass façade. The unique appearance of The Edge was conceptualised as a response to the existing urban dynamic of the area; the majority of the neighbouring developments take on a uniform feel, however The Edge was designed to create an identity all of its own.
Unlike the surrounding buildings, The Edge is clad in glass and Glass Reinforced Concrete (GRC), while the skin expression is balanced with in-floor sections of glass and internally-glazed sections to further reinforce the shell. The final positioning, frequency and size of the protruding fins on the façade was calculated precisely to maximise visual impact externally from different perspectives, while minimising the visual impact on occupant views.
The structural ribs and beams are expressed through the building, continuing at the top where a capping element was designed to give a proportional lid to the cube. This cap was sized appropriately to allow for the positioning of the building service components away from external viewpoints around the perimeter. The façade modulation is based upon a grid structure and is uniform, playing with symmetry for aesthetic purposes.
The interior design process worked through a minimalistic approach towards choice of surfaces and lighting schemes. Different areas of the building are reflected by a differentiation of surfaces and colour palette. The communal areas, in particular the lobby, are modest in size and so the illusion of space is created through retracting adjacent spaces and emphasising different areas through colour scheme. Darker colours adorn entry points, while the lobby in particular benefits from the | [

2016 is still fresh out of the box, and with a new year comes a clean slate — plenty of time to nail down good habits for the months to come.
That habit-changing part isn’t always easy, however, and everyone could use a little support, particularly when it comes to standing firm with your commitment to eating cruelty-free. (Super Bowl Sunday is right around the corner, and you don’t want to lose your way due to chicken wings.)
To help you on your path to cruelty-free living, here are 10 easy ways to kick off that vegan diet in 2016:
1. Buy some cookbooks.
Still have Barnes & Noble gift cards leftover from Christmas? Use them to buy The Taco Cleanse; Eat Like You Give a Damn; Street Vegan; or any number of other delicious anthologies. For more ideas, check out our list of five cookbooks we love.
2. Purge your fridge.
If you haven’t already, now’s the time to ditch any meat, dairy, or egg products you’ve got lying around. Going through your fridge, freezer, and cabinets is great way to practice those label-reading skills. Toss (or donate) anything that has animal products in it, and you’ll make room for lots of delicious new replacements.
3. Join a Meetup Group.
January is resolution time, which means Meetup group numbers are probably on the ups. Increased attendance means lots of opportunity to meet awesome people you can connect with. It’s an easy way to build a plant-based support system.
4. Visit a sanctuary for farmed animals.
Nothing says incentive like a cuddly cow or precocious chicken. In the words of Jon Stewart, “It’s harder to eat meat when you know the animal’s name.” Wherever you live, there’s probably a sanctuary nearby, from The Gentle Barn in Santa Clarita, Ca. to Kindred Spirits Sanctuary in Ocala, Fla. Pay a visit and reaffirm your commitment to a compassionate lifestyle.
5. Use HappyCow to scope out some local eateries.
Unless you’re Martha Stewart, it’s unlikely you have the time or energy to cook gourmet meals at home on the regular. Eating out is a necessity with our wildly busy schedules. Use the HappyCow app to find restaurants around you that offer appealing vegan options. That way, the next time you’re rumbling stomach demands delicious eats, NOW, you’ll be ready.
6. Find your favorite substitute products.
Meat, dairy, and egg substitutes can make the transition to veganism a breeze. And lucky for you, this is 2016, and options abound. Do some experimentation and decide which products are your faves, then stock your fridge for the weeks ahead. For guidance, check out this list of vegan foods substitutes from Vegan Outreach!
7. Treat yourself to some goodies.
Veganism isn’t all celery and quinoa. There are tons of delicious indulgence foods, from chocolate truffles by Sjaak’s to cashew milk ice cream by So Delicious to candy bars by Go Max Go. Everyone needs a treat now and then, so build a stash to beat those cravings.
8. Sign up for a meal delivery service.
If you’re clueless in the kitchen, have no fear — that’s what meal delivery is for. There are lots of companies who’ll deliver three squares straight to your door. Try The Purple Carrot, Forks Fresh Meals, 22 Days Nutrition, or one of the many others out there. New ones are popping up every day, and there’s an option for every price point.
9. Try a kickstart program.
If you need resources, guidance, and motivation, consider a pre-planned program. These package deals give you everything you need to get going. Try the 21-Day Vegan Kickstart by the Physician’s Committee for Responsible Medicine, or the 14 Day Health Challenge.
10. Download our starter guide.
TryVeg.com has lots of helpful free goodies that’ll make the switch to vegan eating easier than you’d imagined. Check out our downloadable guides here! | [

(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) KUWAIT, Sept 7 (KUNA) -- Kuwait has established itself as one of the world's most perennial aid providers over the course of last 10 years, the chief of a local-based charity said on Thursday, citing the slew of beneficiaries of such humanitarian assistance.
The principles of altruism, coupled with a penchant for giving, are an "integral part of the Kuwaiti identity," the chairman of the Kuwait-based International Islamic Charity Organization (IICO) Abdullah Al-Matouq told a local gathering devoted to the country's contributions towards humanitarian endeavors over the years.
The gathering comes at a time where the world is rife with "worsening humanitarian conditions," Al-Matouq, who also serves Kuwait's special humanitarian envoy to the United Nations underlined, saying such trying circumstances require a further push in humanitarian aid giving.
As part of IICO's "future strategies" aiming to ratchet up its humanitarian initiatives, he said the charity plans on partnering with a number of renowned global bodies in a bid to ensure that these projects ultimately come to fruition, subsequently leaving an indelible mark on the lives of those living in misery.
He went on to thank Kuwait's political leaders for the backing they have given to the charity's endeavors, saying such support has been instrumental in allowing the Kuwaiti charity to rise to prominence in the humanitarian arena.
Echoing his sentiments, the chief of Kuwait's "Al-Salam Humanitarian and Charity Society," another local-based body, Dr. Nabil Al-Oun, along with the forum's chief organizer Yousef Al-Ghaffar, highlighted the main objective for the talks, saying the gathering aims to "shine the light" on some of Kuwait's most notable humanitarian contributions.
Kuwait's Red Crescent Society is taking part in the gathering as well, with its deputy chief Anwar Al-Hasawi saying the venerable charity will be chronicling some of its most illustriprojects since its inception in 1966. (end)

SMALL to medium sized businesses risk paying more fringe benefits tax (FBT) than necessary by using the wrong calculation method, according to Concur.
The travel and expense management provider says many businesses can control company expenses and save money by improving the way they calculate meals and entertainment.
FBT for expenses is generally calculated on an annual basis using either the 50/50 split method, the 12-week register or the actual method.
Concur Australia & New Zealand managing director Matt Goss says most businesses have a handle on identifying FBT, but use the incorrect calculation process.
"While many organisations can confidently identify where FBT is applicable or not, they often struggle to identify which method is best for their business and as a result pay more FBT than necessary," Goss says.
"In an economic climate where expenses are increasing and budgets are shrinking, you simply cannot afford to over-calculate your FBT obligations nor choose the wrong method of calculation.
"In fact, the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) encourages businesses to select the method which results in the lowest FBT payment.
"A better understanding of the three FBT calculation methods will help guide you in the right direction.
"However, the only way to confirm which method is best is to test them on a case-by-case basis and ensure you have the tools in place to optimise the calculation processes to start delivering real savings back to your business."
Goss says most businesses use the 50/50 method, as they don't have the systems in place to analyse the most effective FBT calculation method.
CONCUR'S TOP FIVE FBT STRATEGIES
1. Automate the expense management process.
Automating the process lets SMBs determine the lowest FBT liability automatically. It provides full visibility into expenses and enforces the travel and entertainment policy to optimise the expense management process. It also saves employee time.
2. Use clear descriptive definitions for meal and entertainment expenses.
Over-complicating it will confuse employees and impact the quality of data from both a calculation and compliance perspective.
3. Train employees.
Ensure employees understand the difference between the travelling and non-travelling employee status as this affects the FBT liability.
4. Use an employee master list to ensure data accuracy.
Make it simple to search for employee data and avoid multiple versions of the same data.
5. Review the FBT reporting method annually.
Don't assume a specific calculation method will always equate to the lowest FBT liability.

Machine guns inflicted appalling casualties on both war fronts in World War One. Men who went over-the-top in trenches stood little chance when the enemy opened up with their machine guns. Machine guns were one of the main killers in the war and accounted for many thousands of deaths.
Crude machine guns had first been used in the American Civil War (1861 to 1865). However, tactics from this war to 1914 had not changed to fit in with this new weapon. Machine guns could shoot hundreds of rounds of ammunition a minute and the standard military tactic of World War One was the infantry charge. Casualties were huge. Many soldiers barely got out of their trench before they were cut down.
A British Vickers machine gun crew at the Somme
This British Vickers machine gun is being fired by a team of two who are wearing early gas masks in case of a gas attack. To ensure that the machine gun's barrel did not overheat, the weapon was cooled using a large water cooling jacket. An ammunition belt fed it bullets. This machine gun could shoot 450 rounds a minute. As well as the Vickers machine gun, the British used the Hotchkiss and the Lewis gun.
At the start of the war, senior British army officers were less than sure about the effectiveness of the machine gun. Therefore most battalions were only issued with two.
This was a lot less than the Germans who were much more sure as to the effectiveness of the machine gun. The Germans placed their machine guns slightly in front of their lines to ensure than the machine gun crews were given a full view of the battlefield. At the Battle of the Somme, their efficiency lead to the deaths of thousands of British troops within minutes of the battle starting.
Going over the top at the Somme
This still above was taken from film as British troops 'went over the top' at the start of the Battle of the Somme. Within a few strides from their own trench, these men were almost certainly the victim of German machine gun fire.

Hey, blogspot readers, it's another two-fer of rockin' shows on a bitter Wednesday night. First, SouthSide's at Elbo Room for an intimate performance by Jesse Payne (from AL). Then she's off to The Exit for another Flabby Hoffman Cavalcade show featuring Monk 9.
It was a performance (and experience) like no other featuring the unique vocal style and mellow alternative music by Jesse Payne. For this reviewer, it was an intimate set in which songs from his current album, Nesting, were vividly and vibrantly brought to life. Compared to the recorded version of this artist's music, Jesse's songs perfectly fit the semi-acoustic feel of the stage while lyrically painting images through his words. The entire set had bursts of energy despite sounding very calming and relaxing...the music itself was simplistic as its best. SouthSide was pleased that not much was needed to entice the audience's ears - Jesee's sweeping instrumentals and melodic rhythms were the right combination to grab everyone's attention. However, fans should also take notice of Jesse and his vocals which, in this reviewer's opinion, was the highlight and the main focal point of this performance. For example, in new song, Take Me (off upcoming new CD) the melodic sound helped add to the vividness of Jesse's voice while he sang. The words seemed to pop to life...at times, one could hear the wide range of emotions being expressed. SouthSide also suggests listening to the entire album but pay special notice to her favorites, Conversation and Wes Anderson (the live version of this song was beautifully expressive lyrically and musically). Visit http://www.jessepayneonline.com or http://www.myspace.com/jessepayne for more details and information about his music and tour dates.
After a couple of quick CTA bus rides, SouthSide arrived in time at The Exit for another exciting edition of the Flabby Hoffman Cavalcade show. Though without its famous masked host, funnyman Sloop Biedermann kept this variety show goind smoothly with a lively mix of comedy and music performances. Local music acts featured tonight were Orifice A and Cousin Bones (who combined music with comedy). Blogspot readers can find snippets of Flabby Hoffman and his variety shows on YouTube while Chicago residents can watch broadcasts every Thursday night on CAN channel 19 at 11:30p to 12:30a.
This popular duo known as Monk 9 made another stellar appearance as well as performance during the music portion of the Cavalcade. They rocked the upstairs of The Exit with its hardcore electro/funk rock groove which certainly had the audience mesmerized by the unique sound. Monk's music always performed under a vibrant guitar (electric/bass combined) riffs and percussion rhythms. SouthSide has seen this duo rock the stage more than twice...and each time they add something new and/or different to their set. This time, Monk added a lively yet funkified soul sound to two Rolling Stones classics - Sympathy For The Devil and Heartbreaker. Both songs combined were done more reverently than originally intended but drawing out the soul/R&B sound without tainting its rock-n-roll roots. Plus it highlighted Monk's (the groovy guy on guitar) vocals within a soulful vibe...hopefully there will be more moments like this one, blogspot readers, in which we see the soulful side to Monk 9 under an electric funk cloud. Everyone was Get(ting) Down Tonight (the duo's smokin' hot KC & the Sunshine Band cover) with them as they closed their performance with SouthSide's favorite, Nasty Girl. It's highly recommended that blogspot readers check out the electrifying modern version of the Jimi Hendrix-esque experience known as Monk 9. Visit http://www.monk9.com or http://www.myspace.com/monknine for more details and when they're rockin' the stage again.

As a proud dog parent, you want to do everything you can to keep your furry friend happy and healthy. But did you know that being a responsible paw parent also means taking steps to reduce your carbon paw print?
With a few simple changes to your lifestyle, you can help protect the environment and ensure a brighter future for your beloved pooch. Here are some tips for sustainable dog ownership!
Sustainable Paw Prints
Reducing your carbon paw prints is essential for protecting the environment and ensuring a bright tomorrow for future generations. If you’re unfamiliar, a carbon footprint is the number of greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere. These gases significantly affect climate change.
As a dog owner, you might wonder how to become a sustainable parent. Interestingly, dogs, like all pets, significantly impact the environment. They require food, toys, and other products that often come with a large carbon footprint.
By changing your lifestyle as a dog owner, you can protect the environment while reducing your carbon footprint. Some of the overall benefits of reducing your carbon footprint include the following:
- Protecting the planet’s health,
- Ensuring a healthy future for your pup,
- Saving money on affordable, eco-friendly products
- And more
Overall, reducing your carbon footprint is crucial. As a dog owner, you have a unique opportunity to make a difference and help create a more sustainable world for all.
Reducing Carbon Dog Paw Prints
As we become more aware of our impact on the environment, it is essential to acknowledge our furry companions’ role in our carbon footprints. We can work towards a more sustainable lifestyle by taking small steps toward reducing our carbon dog paw prints (and human footprints).
By implementing these 5 tips for a more sustainable lifestyle with your loyal pooch, you’ll positively impact the environment. You’ll also create a healthier and happier lifestyle for yourself and your furry friend. Take these steps to build a more sustainable future for the planet we call home!
Choosing sustainable dog food is one of the most effective ways to reduce your carbon footprint as a dog parent. Look for brands that use locally sourced, organic ingredients and avoid those that contain fillers and artificial preservatives.
Our fresh meal plans and freeze-dried meals are great ways to get started. They’ll set your furry friend up with an ultra-wholesome diet that optimizes their health. Not only that, but all of our packaging is recyclable, with plant-based insulation.
Remember that fresh, nutritious ingredients reduce your carbon footprint and can be healthier for your dog.
When purchasing products for your dog, choosing sustainable options is essential. For example, you can choose toys made from natural materials like hemp, cotton, or wool instead of plastic. You can also switch to biodegradable poop bags, which are made from materials like cornstarch and can break down in landfills.
Grooming your dog is essential for their health and well-being but can also impact the environment. When bathing your dog, opt for eco-friendly shampoo and conditioner, which are free from harmful chemicals that can harm the environment.
You can also use natural brushes and combs made from materials like bamboo, which is a renewable resource.
Ready for Eco-Friendly Paw Prints?
As a responsible dog parent, being mindful of your lifestyle’s environmental impact is vital. There are so many benefits to reducing your impact for you and your pup, so why not start today? Your loyal companion will thank you, and so will the planet! | [

Getting things in proportion
If too many aspects cover other parts, keeping track becomes challenging. Since things start to overlap when too many layers are opening up, everything evolves into a big mess. So, the beginning and the end appear untraceable. Once you cannot find yourself anymore in this situation, you can no longer hide the overload.
Yet, a clear view is needed for untangling the chaos because if you attribute the same relevance to everything, you can not see the wood for the trees anymore. Once you are getting things in proportion, you may understand what is truly important.
“Turfmarkt” in the Hague
I took this photo in September 2022. You can see the architecture of a modern architecture building in the Dutch city of The Hague (Den Haag). This building is situated in “Turfmarkt,” and you can get the view of this photo when you use the pedestrian underpass that guides you from the central station to the city center. I really liked how all of the lines and forms play together and comprise a new perspective. There are many special looking buildings in this area of the city. | [

MIAMI — On Saturday, next to a flower garden at Doral Country Club, Mac O`Grady called the Commissioner of the PGA Tour a Nazi, a Communist, a Russian, a dictator, Hitler, Mussolini and Richard Nixon.
Nothing Deane Beman hasn`t heard before from Mac the Knife.
O`Grady was just commenting on the latest fine handed down by Beman`s office for comments made at the Chrysler Team Invitational, the Hawaiian Open and the Los Angeles Open.
O`Grady was on probation, anyway, for an incident at the 1984 USF&G Classic in New Orleans. The Tour fined him $500, and took the money out of his Merrill Lynch account unbeknownst to O`Grady.
O`Grady said there`s no way he`ll pay this unspecified fine, and he plans on taking it through the appeals system of the PGA Tour, and eventually to federal court if he has to.
``I`ll burn in hell, I swear I will, before I pay the fine,`` O`Grady said after shooting a 69 in the third round of the $500,000 Doral-Eastern Open. ``Deane doesn`t like guys challenging his authority. It`s part of his Russian ideology. Maybe I should change my name to Mac Sakharov.``
This time, Beman came down on O`Grady for ``conduct unbecoming a professional golfer.`` The joke around Tour now is that the situation is becoming O`Gradygate.
At the Chrysler at Boca West, O`Grady was quoted as saying:
``Our problem is we happen to have a commissioner who runs the PGA Tour as if it is his totalitarian, authoritarian system. It`s his dictatorship and his regime, with arbitrary rules. He`s alienated himself to PGA Tour players, Senior Tour players, LPGA players, and now to the public with what he`s done with Seve (Ballesteros).``
At the Hawaiian Open, it was:
``Deane Beman is a thief with a capital T.``

Drexel University, USA
Raja Roy conducts research on technological change, innovation, and US competitiveness in the manufacturing of industrial products such as robotics, machine tools, and vision sensors. He earned his PhD in Strategic Management from the University of Pittsburgh. His research has been published in Strategic Management Journal, Research Policy, and Advances in Strategic Management. He holds an MBA in International Marketing from the Indian Institute of Foreign Trade, New Delhi, India and BE in Production Engineering from Jadavpur University, Kolkata, India. Prior to pursuing an academic career, he worked as Manager (Exports), Hindustan Unilever Ltd. and as Manager, Calcutta Electric Supply Corporation, Ltd.
We investigated how incumbent differences affect their response to a disruptive change and found that incumbents with access to in house knowledge that helps them understand “what to develop and design” and “how to do it,” are likely to be the leaders in matching the performance features in a disruptive product. We used the advent of machine tools with disruptive Computer Numerical Control (CNC) technology as the context and concentrated on the transition period when the machine tool demand was shifting from customized machine tools with mechanical controls to standardized machine tools with CNCs. We found that incumbents with access to in house users and broad pre-disruption component experience were the leaders in matching the agility of the disruptive products. Our findings suggest that the boundary conditions for the theory of disruption are more nuanced than what the literature predicts

A wine blogger or two.
A wine importer.
An Israeli white.
A Spanish red.
A French for dessert.
Lots of cheese.
Lahat, White, 2013
This is... different. Not great, but different. Leesy, funky and lightly minerally. I could have tried to write down the various fruit descriptors, but they were hardly the main story here: the story is that here is kinda weird wine that so escapes the usual mold it might we well have come from outer space.
About 120 NIS.
Chateau Musar, Baka'a, 2005
It's been years since I last had this signature Lebanese wine. Last time I had it, it was a Caberent Sauvignon/Cinsault blend and now it seems there's also Carignan in the blend. There's elegant fruit here, embroidered with mildew, which, along with the savory acidity, reminds me of Rioja. Or something Spanish, anyway. Probably the best Musar at I've had - at the very least, the most palatable.
Tenuta Terre Nere, Etna Rosso, Guardiola, 2012
Terre Nere rocks, always, even this three year old from a hot vintage. A soft yet prominent tannic structure gains form and body with air. The fruit is savory, elegant and poised, red at first, turning a wee blacker in glass, and as always with Terre Nere, the acidity is terrific.
Eldad Levy, 239 NIS.
Alion, Ribera del Duero, 2004
It took me several tries over almost a decade and across multiple decades to like this modern Ribera. Sometimes. It seems it just needs a decade to mature and become funky, multi layered and for the ripe, modern fruit to tempered by juicy acidity and a mature, Old World charm.
Huet, Vouvray, Clos de Bourg, Premier Trie, Mouelleux, 2009
For me, botrytis works better in the Loire than in Sauternes, and here it's played with finesse, merging sweet and spicy notes. Huet comes with a almost a century's worth of reputation, and with a price tag to match, but this is a terrific value that could trounce almost any dessert wine on the local market.
Giaconda, 300 NIS. | [

How we conceive and build projects is rooted in a desire to create memorable, tactile experiences for people. The materials that are chosen, the manner with which they are assembled and how they are arranged on a site to promote engagement and interaction are critical factors in all of our work. The material selection and detailing of a project is a primary means of creating a resonant sense of place with the people who inhabit it.
We make places that want to be touched, heard, smelled and felt. The choice of materials can provide opportunities for creating bridges between the past traditions and present technology. Strategic material assemblies can offer links between cultural expression and natural form. Methods of fabrication and finishing can reveal various states of matter within the materials we choose that can play critical roles in the experience of a project site. The shaping of stone, wood, metal, concrete and water can evoke traditional craftsmanship, link to the geologic and natural history of a site and create a sense of human scale and comfort.
We believe that the best landscapes integrate materials, plants and ecology in ways that simultaneously evoke connections to the past while feeling relevant to the contemporary condition. | [

The key elements are a thin wire coated with palladium and deuterium then subjected to electric and magnetic fields, and a detector consisting of a special plastic called CR-39. High energy particles create tracks in the plastic which can be analyzed to determine the type and intensity of any particles emitted. According to the Navy researchers, "The density of tracks registered by a CR-39 detector was found to be of a magnitude that provides undisputable evidence of their nuclear origin."
Experimenters still must be careful to shield the apparatus from other sources of radiation, but it's still the simplest way to verify the cold fusion reaction is real. And, according to the Wikipedia article on Cold Fusion, at least two other teams have reported similar results to the Navy researchers:
In 2006, Mosier-Boss and Szpak, researchers in the U.S. Navy's Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center San Diego, developed a new experimental technique, a key feature of which is the electroplating of probes to a set ratio of palladium and deutrium. These experiments have produced evidence of high-energy nuclear reactions concentrated near the probe surface. Based on this work, two other teams have reported similar findings at the American Physical Society meeting of March 2007 (sessions A31 and B31) although interpretations vary.It may never become anything commercially exploitable, but it's worth investigating it because of the enormous potential benefits. | [

The Karabiner 98 kurz is a bolt-action rifle chambered for the 7.92×57 Mauser cartridge. It was adopted by the German Wehrmacht in 1935 and during World War II it remained the primary German service rifle.
Now Diana, another legendary German manufacturer pays homage to the iconic military weapon with a special version of its Mod.430 underlever cocking air rifle.
This new high performance rifle combines the distinctive military look with state-of-the-art technology. It has a high quality Diana 460mm fixed barrel, slide cylinder locking system, rifled pellet seating and a genuine two-stage match type trigger.
The Beech stock boasts barrel bands on the fore-end and also a sling recess in the butt, just like the real thing. It's fitted with adjustable, military style open sights but it also has a scope mounting rail. Fitting the right scope would really make it look the part as a snipers rifle.
This will be a highly sort after rifle & one for the collector.

How to judge whether the vibrating plate of the ultrasonic cleaning machine is high quality?
The more expensive the ultrasonic cleaning machine
, the better the cleaning effect, the cheaper the price, the worse the machine's cleaning effect. It depends on the configuration of the machine. The better the material configuration, the more cost-effective and practical the machine will be. The core configuration of an ultrasonic cleaning machine is an ultrasonic oscillator, that is, an ultrasonic sensor. What are the characteristics of high-quality ultrasonic cleaning machine vibrators? Let's follow the small series of ultrasonic cleaning machines to understand it.
What's an ultrasonic oscillator?
Ultrasonic oscillators are also called ultrasonic sensors. The function of an ultrasonic sensor is to convert the incoming electrical power into mechanical power -LRB-i. e., ultrasonic waves), which is then transmitted, while the power itself consumes a small portion of the power. The technical problem of the ultrasonic sensor is to design a kind of ultrasonic sensor with a large function distance and wide frequency band. The sensor consists of a housing, a matching layer, a piezoelectric ceramic disk sensor, a lining, an outlet cable, and a Cymbal array receiver. The Pzt-5 piezoelectric transducer is made of piezoelectric material, and the Cymbal array receiver is made of 8-16 Cymbal transducers, two metal rings, and rubber washers. The function distance of the invention is greater than 35m, reaches a frequency bandwidth of 10kHz, and can detect a high-speed moving long-distance target. A high-quality ultrasonic cleaning machine oscillator is characterized by low power consumption.
How to distinguish the advantages and disadvantages of ultrasonic oscillators?
Low Heat: low heat is the characteristic of a high-quality ultrasonic cleaning oscillator, vibration is to convert current into the ultrasonic wave, if vibration in the process of low heat, less heat, that is, the current into ultrasonic energy, greatly improves the current conversion rate, save energy, reduce costs.
Super-shock: super-shock performance is a high-quality ultrasonic cleaning machine oscillator that should have the characteristics. The better the energy of the ultrasonic sensor, the more serious the vibration. In other words, the stronger the shock, the better the sensitivity. They are a unified relationship, one side of the existence of nature will show the existence of the other side.
Performance Stability: Performance is an important feature of high-quality ultrasonic cleaning machine vibration, performance stability is mainly reflected in the output stability, that is, energy output on the next step of the machine operation, output process quality assurance is good, making the next operation of the machine unaffected, or improve the next operation of the machine.
Good external vibration performance: ultrasonic cleaning machine cavitation effect is the vibration characteristics of a high-quality ultrasonic cleaning machine, cavitation effect determines the effect of ultrasonic cleaning machine cleaning objects, in short, ultrasonic cleaning machine cavitation effect, good cleaning effect, poor cavitation effect, poor cleaning effect.o your will. | [

What It Is: Lamborghini’s upcoming SUV, which will be previewed soon by a concept version. As these renderings show, the unnamed five-door should have a coupe-like silhouette and extreme angular lines reminiscent of the Aventador. It will fit right into the sports-car manufacturer's lineup—as much as an SUV can, anyway. This will be the second off-roader by the brand; the crudely styled LM002, an offspring of Lambo’s Cheetah military-vehicle project, was sold from the mid-1980s through the early ’90s.
Why It Matters: Lamborghini has long pondered a third model line, with alternative options including a GT car in the tradition of the Espada and a four-door sedan like the 2008 Estoque concept. The most logical choice is this SUV, not only because there already is an SUV in the brand's heritage but because of its sales potential in the Middle East, China, and North America. This model is poised to become Lamborghini's bestseller—so says boss Stephan Winkelmann—and perhaps its entry-level model.
Platform and Powertrain: The Lamborghini SUV will be based on the next-generation Porsche Cayenne and Volkswagen Touareg platform, just like the upcoming Bentley SUV. The series-production model will be powered by a tweaked engine from the existing VW Group parts bin; possibilities include the Gallardo's V-10 or a V-8 with Lamborghini-specific engine tuning. Permanent, rear-biased all-wheel drive and some sort of automatic transmission will be standard; there won’t be a manual option.
Competition: Besides the expected Bentley SUV, competition is comprised of the BMW X5 M and X6 M, AMG versions of the Mercedes-Benz M-class and Geländewagen, the Porsche Cayenne Turbo, and the supercharged Land Rover Range Rover and Range Rover Sport. You might also consider the Jeep-based Maserati Kubang, by virtue of its Italian badge. If you think the Bentley and this Lambo might end up being too similar by virtue of their shared VW Group parentage, rest assured that Winkelmann and Bentley CEO Wolfgang Dürheimer are in close contact to assure there is little overlap between the two.
What Might Go Wrong: Not much. The SUV segment is growing and so is Lamborghini; combining these concepts promises big profits. This scheme has worked well for Porsche, for whom big Cayenne sales have made possible the continued variety of 911s that we enjoy. Lambo just needs to stick to its styling language; the real product could actually be even more futuristic-looking than our rendering.
Estimated Arrival and Price: The SUV from Sant'Agata Bolognese could come to market by 2015. Expect prices north of $140,000. | [

TURKEY : THE BLIGHT OF ASIA

HISTORIC IMPORTANCE OF THE DESTRUCTION OF SMYRNA
THE destruction of Smyrna by the Turks was an event of great significance in Church history. At the time of the birth of the Prophet, about A. D. 570, Christianity had covered, in addition to the area known in general to-day as "Europe," the ancient province of Asia, extending as far east as the Caspian Sea, a broad strip of Syria, and a wide belt of North Africa clear across to the Atlantic Ocean.
In A. D. 30, according to Kurtz, historian of the Christian Church, there were five hundred Christians in the world; they had increased to five hundred thousand by A. D. 100, and they numbered thirty million in the year 311.
Asia Minor and Africa are famous in the history of the Church as the habitat of many of the most famous Christian fathers and martyrs, such as Polycarp of Smyrna, Tertullian of Carthage, Clement of Alexandria, Chrysostom of Antioch, Origen of Tyre, Cyprian of Carthage and a host of others. Saint Paul was born in Tarsus of Cilicia.
In the eighth century, Timotheus sent a band of missionaries from Mesopotamia to convert the Tartars, who went as far as the Caspian Sea, and oven penetrated into China, "planting and reviving in those parts a knowledge of the gospel." The Seven Churches of Revelation were in Asia Minor, and the fact that Smyrna was the last of these, and kept her light burning until 1922, emphasizes the significance, in Church history, of her destruction by the Turks.
The object of the Emperor Constantine in founding his capital was to build a distinctly Christian city that should be the metropolis of Christendom. Its splendors, its refinement, its art and culture, its wealth, its power, its fame as a center of learning and of piety are unforgettable even to-day. In the presence of its gentlemen and great dames, the knights and ladies of Western Europe were mere boors and hoydens. Wrecked, plundered and mismanaged by the Latin knights, a calamity from which it never recovered, there was enough of its culture left, when the Turks finally laid hands on it, to scatter over Europe and regenerate the West. The Renaissance, that wonderful awakening from the darkness of the Middle Ages, was largely due to the learning brought into Europe by the scholars of Constantinople, fleeing from the Turk. Those scholars had kept the light of the old classic culture burning during all the years of European darkness and ignorance.
If Constantinople could have been spared and Christianity saved in the Near East, the results to civilization would have been incalculable. What a glorious city a Greek Constantinople would be today, if it had always stayed Greek, with its long traditions and its immense treasures of ancient culture! Another and more beautiful Paris, bestriding the Bosphorus, great in commerce, learning, science and all the graces and influences of Christian civilization.

The BlueFlyVarios are flight instruments for measuring vertical speed and altitude based on atmospheric pressure. They measure the atmospheric pressure 50 times every second, with a resolution that enables the measurement of tiny altitude differences.
An MS5611 pressure sensor provides an ultra responsive altitude resolution of 10 cm.
The onboard audio mode provides a backup when not connected, or to use all the time.
Choose a version to connect via bluetooth to Android using SPP for use with flight software, or a version to connect via TTL UART for hacking into other hardware devices
Flight instruments are awesome devices to help you know the air. Even the best components are pretty cheap and the instruments should be too. The BlueFlyVario helps drive innovation in free flying sports using open hardware and sofware. The BlueFlyVario project grew from a not for profit hobby that got out of control. This philosophy continues to drive and motivate the future development of free flight instruments | [

The citizens of the metropolis on Thursday suffered massive disruption in water supply after a pipeline at the Dhabeji pumping station burst this morning.
Karachi Water & Sewerage Board teams were deployed to repair the damaged pipeline, thus halting supply to the city until the repair work completes.
The executive engineer at the KWSB said the pipeline that has 72-inch diameter burst today due to power breakdown, resultantly suspending water supply to many areas of the city.
The main sources of water for Karachi are Keenjhar Lake (Indus River) and Hub dam, from where water is pumped through three main bulk pumping stations located at Dhabeji, Gharo, and Hub.
Karachi is facing an acute shortage of water following a drastic drop in water levels at the Hub Dam. Owing to the low supply from the dam, many areas in the western and central districts of the city are facing water shortage. | [

The classified history, revealed in the New York Times at the weekend, is the first detailed US government account of the episode to be publicised. The coup consolidated the power of the "vacillating" young shah, whose authoritarian, US-backed rule lasted 26 years until he was deposed by a militant Islamic - and anti-US - revolution.
The government report, "written by the CIA's chief coup planner", according to the newspaper, showed that the 1953 operation's success "was mostly a matter of chance", and that the CIA "had almost complete contempt for the man it was empowering, Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi, whom it derided as a vacillating coward".
The study of the CIA's first successful overthrow of a foreign government, written in 1954, was provided by a former official who kept a copy of it. Its author, Donald Wilber, a "gentleman spy" and expert in Persian architecture, died three years ago at 89.
The document shows the pivotal role that British intelligence played in planning the coup against Iran's prime minister, Mohammed Mossadegh, who sought to nationalise the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company.
While negotiating with Iran, Britain won the support of the major oil companies in imposing an effective global boycott on Iranian oil. At one stage, US and British intelligence officials met in Beirut to put the finishing touches to their strategy.
CIA and British intelligence officers also visited Princess Ashraf, the shah's influential sister, and she told her brother to follow the coup plans. One of the palace staff was said to be a British agent.
Another man, Asadollah Rashidian, allegedly approached the shah and invited him to select a phrase that would then be broadcast at prearranged times on the BBC's Persian language service as proof that Rashidian spoke for British intelligence.
The CIA operation, code-named TP-Ajax, was designed to maintain the west's control over Iranian oil. But the agency found the shah "a reluctant warrior" when it came to issuing royal decrees dismissing Mossadegh and replacing him with the more tractable General Fazlollah Zahedi, the newspaper said.
"The history says agency officers... worked directly with royalist Iranian military officers, handpicked the prime minister's replacement, sent a stream of envoys to bolster the shah's courage, directed a campaign of bombings by Iranians posing as members of the Communist party, and planted articles and editorial cartoons in newspapers."
But "almost nothing went according to the meticulously drawn plans" on August 15 1953. Mossadegh had advance warning of the plot, Zahedi went into hiding, and the shah fled to Baghdad. It was only when Tehran newspapers published the shah's decrees, four days later, that popular support permitted a successful second coup. Two days after that, CIA officials moved $5m into Iran to help consolidate the government's power. | [

Plasmonics and nanophotonics II
14:00 Invited talk : Large Spontaneous Emission Rate Enhancement using Slot-Antenna Coupled WSe2 Monolayers
Michael Eggleston, Sujay Desai, Kevin Messer, Surabhi Madvapathy, Jun Xiao, Seth Fortuna, Xiang Zhang, Eli Yablonovitch, Ali Javey, Ming Wu
University of California (USA) In this talk I will explore the use of slot-antennas to efficiently enhance spontaneous emission rates in 2D semiconductors. Experimental results will be presented showing a 340x rate increase for WSe2 monolayers coupled to a cavity-backed slot-antenna with ~1ps carrier lifetimes.
14:20 : Photon-Spin Drag on a Metasurface
Xiang Zhang, Xingjie Ni
University of California (USA) Strong spin-orbit interaction can be induced by strong light bending effect on a metasurface - an optically thin layer of plasmonic elements which have unique property of locally tailoring the field amplitude and phase at the nanoscale accompanied by dramatic light confinement. We show that the photon spin angular momentum can be directly transferred to collective motion of electrons on a conductive metasurface with this interaction, revealing as a photon-spin drag effect.
14:35 : Bowtie Nanocavities for Single Plasmon Lasing Devices
Claire Deeb (1),Ankun Yang (2),Yi Hua (2),Teri Odom (2)
(1)Laboratoire de Photonique et de Nanostructures LPN-CNRS (France), (2)Northwestern University (USA) We demonstrate a three-dimensional (3D) active bowtie nano-resonator that has directional emission, high radiative efficiency, effective cavity feedback, ultrafast response, and room-temperature operation. The 3D bowtie structure consists of a dimer of Au nanoparticles with a gap size of tens of nanometers, arranged in a pattern with tunable periodicity and embedded in dye solution.
14:50 : Resonant Enhancement of Near UV Fluorescence by Aluminum Nanoantenna Arrays
Neciah Dorh, J. Stokes, A. Sarua, M. J. Cryan
University of Bristol (United Kingdom) This paper demonstrates up to 23-fold increase in fluorescence emission in the near UV from aluminum nanoantenna arrays. A series of aluminum nanorod arrays were fabricated using Focused Ion Beam (FIB) milling and subsequently spin-coated with Exalite 392E dye. Scanning photoluminescence measurements revealed a significant increase in the peak emission over the nanoantennas compared to the surrounding un-patterned aluminum or glass.
15:05 : Studying ultrafast dynamics of advanced optical nanoantennas by photoemission electron microscopy
Matthias Falkner (1),Thomas Kaiser (1),Jing Qi (1),Michael Steinert (1),Christoph Menzel (1),Carsten Rockstuhl (2),Thomas Pertsch (1)
(1)Friedrich Schiller Universitat (Germany), (2)Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (Germany) We theoretically and experimentally investigate the ultrafast dynamics of circular plasmonic disc nanoantennas with the help of photoemission electron microscopy. The investigations show detailed insights into the spatio-temporal properties of the plasmonic resonance mechanism without the need for any disturbing interacting probe.
15:20 : Active plasmon and Wood's anomaly sensor for carbon dioxide gas
Kenzo Yamaguchi (1),Masamitsu Fujii (2)
(1)Kagawa University (Japan), (2)Toba National College of Maritime Technology (Japan) We have achieved electrically tuned the surface plasmon resonance wavelength at visible range with controlling grating gaps structure by the numerical simulation. In the infrared range, we have also observed unusual diffraction due to Wood's anomaly and showed that the resonance wavelength can be shifted using the structure. Moreover, we decided the relationship between these resonances and structural conditions. Finally, we demonstrated for carbon dioxide gas sensing applications using the Wood's anomaly resonance.
15:35 : Optical Properties of Surface Phonon Polaritons in Asymmetric Silicon Carbide Nanopillars
J. G. Tischler (1),Chase Ellis (1),O. J. Glembocki (1),D. N. Chigrin (2),F. J. Bezares (3),R. Kasica (4),L. Shirey (1),J. C. Owrutsky (1),J. D. Caldwell (1)

WARNING!!!! This article contains SPOILERS!!!!
The Circle’s Nick Uhlenhuth and Love Is Blind’s Lauren “LC” Chamblin were two of the final contestants paired up on Netflix’s Perfect Match, but are they still together? After the last set of episodes aired on February 28, cast members began to reveal via interviews and social media whether or not they were with their Perfect Match. Although Nick dated multiple people on Perfect Match, including The Circle’s Savannah Palacio, Too Hot To Handle’s Izzy Fairthorne, The Circle: France’s Ines Tazi, and Twentysomethings: Austin’s Abbey Humphreys, he ended the show with LC.
Perfect Match season 1‘s Nick clearly let the newfound attention from girls get to his head. Nick presents the energy of someone who was overlooked for years by women until becoming a reality TV star and developing some abs, so it’s easy to see how he became distracted throughout filming. After ditching Savannah early on and later getting dumped by other matches, Nick was absent for a couple of episodes. However, when LC appeared, there was a spark between them on their date. Nick admitted to having noticed her on Instagram and wanting to get to know LC better, and the two paired as a perfect match in the finale.
Perfect Match’s Nick & LC’s Relationship Status Is Unclear
As of early March, it is unclear whether or not Nick and LC are still together. Unlike the more established couples in the house, such as Dom Gabriel and Georgia Hassarati, who won, or Kariselle Snow and Joey Sasso, they were just getting to know each other by the time the finale rolled around. Although both LC and Nick have been posting on Instagram, neither of their posts includes the other.
On Perfect Match, LC sheepishly approached Nick about following him on Instagram, and Nick immediately posed a question on his stories, asking his followers whether they were single. After LC responded yes, he followed her back. He admitted to being curious about her and excited to get to know her, and there was a clear romantic connection between the two on-screen.
Nick Was Hanging Out WIth Abbey From Perfect Match
Although Netflix released a YouTube clip on March 2 that relayed the relationship statuses of the three serious couples on Perfect Match, including addressing Kariselle and Joey’s engagement, Nick and LC weren’t featured because they ostensibly took themselves out of the running in the final episode. Unlike other couples, Nick and LC have yet to reveal their relationship status, likely because they wisely communicated during the finale that they didn’t know each other well enough to say whether they were each other’s perfect match. Neither has posted on Instagram featuring a prominent significant other since early 2022 when Perfect Match was filmed.
There is some speculation that Nick and Abbey Humphreys were together since there are some pictures on Nick’s Instagram of the two of them hanging out in the summer of 2022. Nick and Abbey, whose pairing with Francesca made Netflix LGBTQ+ history, both live in Austin, but it appears to just be a friendship. Nick was also recently rumored to be dating former The Bachelorette Katie Thurston; however, nothing has been confirmed by either party.
Nick & LC Are Probably Not Together
Although Nick and LC still follow each other on Instagram, there’s not much commenting or liking between the two. Since they got together so late in the game, it’s fair to say that there wasn’t enough of a deep connection for them to build a relationship outside the villa. Maybe if Nick wasn’t always chasing the next best thing, there could’ve been a real relationship between the two, but this wasn’t the case. Daddy Nick, who misplayed his burner profile on The Circle, was just too excited to be surrounded by so many attractive women.
Nick and LC weren’t expected to make it outside of Panama, but there doesn’t seem to be an answer regarding whether they are a couple after the Perfect Match. There’s no evidence to support a relationship, and neither has commented after all episodes have aired. Some couples, such as Chloe and Shayne, have publicly acknowledged a breakup. Lauren appears to be living her best life in Atlanta, continuing her work as a voiceover actor, and Nick is working on business partnerships and his six-pack abs in Austin. Unfortunately, these two reality TV stars weren’t meant to be, at least not through Perfect Match.

Lockheed Martin has successfully integrated key shipboard combat system components, including the radar and missile launcher, with COMBATSS-21, the core combat management system aboard the US Navy’s first littoral combat ship, PCU Freedom.
Freedom’s COMBATSS-21 is a total ship combat management system, designed to deliver capability rapidly and affordably.
Originally built through a high degree of reuse from the Aegis weapon system, COMBATSS-21 is now part of a common product library that delivers to Aegis, LCS, the US Coastguard’s Deepwater programme and international navies.
Key components integrated with COMBATSS-21 include the radar, gun weapon system, missile launcher, decoy launcher and electronic warfare system.
The successful integration and testing validated Lockheed Martin’s open architecture approach with both COMBATSS-21 and Freedom itself, Lockheed said.
During the integration testing, targets of opportunity were engaged and tracked to demonstrate operability. | [
