There’s no getting around it – Prince Fielder has failed in many clutch situations this season. The big talking point in this regard is Fielder’s substandard batting average with runners in scoring position. For sure, his.216 average is disappointing and multiple baserunners have been stranded due to this failure. What does this mean? Is Prince “unclutch?” How many wins has it cost the Brewers? Let’s try and answer these questions.
First, the matter of “clutch.” Is clutch a skill? Tom Tango sums it up pretty well here over at The Book Blog:
To conclude: yes, clutch skill exists. No, it’s not that big a deal (at best, half as wide as than the platoon advantage). Correct, teams should not rely on clutch skill in their decision-making process, other than as a tie-breaker.
The differences in clutch skill are generally tiny – some hitters are as much as 8 points of wOBA better in high leverage situations, some are similarly worse. That’s not insignificant, but it’s not nearly enough to make Craig Counsell a better clutch hitter than Alex Rodriguez, or make Scott Spiezio a good MLB player. My theory is that
Prince is hitting.266/.412/.467 with RISP in his career and has a 123 wRC+ (141 overall) in high leverage situations. That’s not as good as his overall line, but it’s much better than the league average in both cases and this doesn’t account for the differences in pitchers faced in the high leverage splits. Let’s take a look at one last clutch statistic: “clutch,” as shown on FanGraphs. Prince is +0.76 clutch wins on his career, but the year-by-year stats show some pretty wild fluctuations.
There’s the answer to the second question, too. For as good as Prince Fielder was the last three seasons – particularly 2009 – Fielder’s struggles in high leverage situations have cost the Brewers about one whole win. In the great scheme of things, that’s not that big of a deal, and really, it’s hard to imagine Fielder performing worse in the clutch than he has this year. Fielder still is reaching base at a.413 clip; it’s just that the power is completely lacking (.257 SLG).
The number that matters most in the analysis of Fielder’s clutch performance is 46: the number of high leverage plate appearances that Fielder has seen this year. It’s possible that Prince is pressing at the plate in important situations; it’s possible that, for some reason, Fielder is now intimidated despite solid performance in these situations in the past. But in 46 plate appearances, one home run would raise his slugging percentage by over 100 points. Random variation happens in baseball all the time, and we have to just accept it, acknowledge that this year has been rough for Fielder (at least, as much as a year can be for one of the better hitters in the game), and that next year will almost certainly be better. | [

There is a lot of mystery surrounding the taking of cuttings, but really it is a fairly simple thing to do, and gives you more plants to fill your garden or give to your friends.
Many shrubs can be increased by cuttings this month, as can some climbers and shrubby rock plants such as helianthemums. First for the shrubs, take a young shoot that has grown this year (not hard woody growth), and make a cutting about 2-3″ long. If the shoots are about the right length, you can take them off the stem with a little “heel” of the older wood, if not, then trim to the right length with a sharp knife just below a leaf joint.
Remove a few of the lower leaves and dip into hormone rooting powder. This encourages the cells at the base to divide and produce roots much quicker. Place the cuttings into a seed and cutting compost or a mixture of sand and peat in a shaded area of the garden. A cold frame is ideal or a polythene tent, but they must be protected from the elements and not be in a sunny spot or the plants will be dried out before they have chance to make roots. Keep the soil moist and leave them alone until rooted. If you don’t have a good area of soil, then place them around the edge of a plantpot and cover with a polythene bag, and treat in a similar way. In a few weeks you will find they have rooted and you have a whole batch of new plants to grow on.
You can do a similar job on climbers such as Clematis, Honeysuckle or Ivy, by taking a leaf bud cutting. This is taken by cutting above a pair of leaves and between two leaf joints. When placed under the polythene or frame, these should root in a few weeks at this time of year.
It is surprising how successful you can be with cuttings, so give it a try and see how you can do it is easier than you think!
Happy Holidays – But Not For Plants!
Holiday time is on us, and the thoughts of sea and sunshine and a break from work are greatly appealing. It can though be a difficult time for your houseplants and garden, and a few quick jobs before you go can save the plants you have been nurturing for months from permanent damage. Here is the “quick before I go on holiday ” checklist so you will come back to a happier garden and plants!
- Give the lawn a last minute trim- it saves an awful job when you come back trying to cut knee-high grass!
- Hoe the borders- clearing off the weeds now ensures you don’t have a major job when you return, or else you may find the weeds have taken over.
- Ask a friend to water the garden and pick any vegetables ready for harvesting and deadhead flowers if possible.
- As an alternative to the above, you could invest in an automatic watering system that will water the garden a pre set times every day. This is particularly useful for hanging baskets and tubs which usually suffer the most at holiday time.
- If no one can water for you, then put the tubs and baskets in the coolest shady pace in the garden and water well before leaving. You can also sit them in a tray of water that will keep them moist for a few more days. Using the gel crystals in the compost also gives a longer moisture availability.
- For the houseplants, put them out of the sunshine and water well. For the small plants they can go in the sink on some moist capillary matting. This can be linked to a bowl with water in by a strip of matting to ensure a constant supply of water. The plants and all the matting need to be well watered when setting this up for it to work.
Just by doing these few jobs, you can save work and disappointment when you come home. Have a great holiday!
Potentilla – Adaptable Is Its Middle Name!
If you are looking for a shrub that will go anywhere in your garden, no matter what the soil type and will flower for up to six months with either red, orange, yellow, pink or white flowers – then stop looking- Potentilla is what you need!
The potentilla shrub is a great plant that will thrive anywhere, though if given a choice, a warm sunny spot will bring out the best of the flowers. In the shade the plants do bear fewer flowers but will still grow well. The plants can start flowering in May, and by June can be covered in masses of blooms that seem to be perpetually replaced as they fade. This continues well into Autumn when the frost stops the flowering and the leaves fall waiting for next Spring to leap into action again.
There are over 50 varieties of Potentilla, with new ones arriving frequently. Some of the red | [

Revealing the formation, dynamics, and contribution to plasma heating of magnetic field fluctuations in the solar wind is an important task for heliospheric physics and for a general plasma turbulence theory. Spacecraft observations in the solar wind are limited to spatially localized measurements, so that the evolution of fluctuation properties with solar wind propagation is mostly studied via statistical analyses of data sets collected by different spacecraft at various radial distances from the Sun. In this study we investigate the evolution of turbulence in the Earth’s magnetosheath, a plasma system sharing many properties with the solar wind. The near-Earth space environment is being explored by multiple spacecraft missions, which may allow us to trace the evolution of magnetosheath fluctuations with simultaneous measurements at different distances from their origin, the Earth’s bow shock. We compare ARTEMIS and Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) Mission measurements in the Earth magnetosheath and Parker Solar Probe measurements of the solar wind at different radial distances. The comparison is supported by three numerical simulations of the magnetosheath magnetic and plasma fluctuations: global hybrid simulation resolving ion kinetic and including effects of Earth’s dipole field and realistic bow shock, hybrid and Hall-MHD simulations in expanding boxes that mimic the magnetosheath volume expansion with the radial distance from the dayside bow shock. The comparison shows that the magnetosheath can be considered as a miniaturized version of the solar wind system with much stronger plasma thermal anisotropy and an almost equal amount of forward and backward propagating Alfvén waves. Thus, many processes, such as turbulence development and kinetic instability contributions to plasma heating, occurring on slow timescales and over large distances in the solar wind, occur more rapidly in the magnetosheath and can be investigated in detail by multiple near-Earth spacecraft.
A key goal of heliophysics is to understand how cosmic rays propagate in the solar system’s complex, dynamic environment. One observable is solar modulation, i.e., how the flux and spectrum of cosmic rays change as they propagate inward. We construct an improved force-field model, taking advantage of new measurements of magnetic power spectral density by Parker Solar Probe to predict solar modulation within the Earth’s orbit. We find that modulation of cosmic rays between the Earth and Sun is modest, at least at solar minimum and in the ecliptic plane. Our results agree much better with the limited data on cosmic-ray radial gradients within Earth’s orbit than past treatments of the force-field model. Our predictions can be tested with forthcoming direct cosmic-ray measurements in the inner heliosphere by Parker Solar Probe and Solar Orbiter. They are also important for interpreting the gamma-ray emission from the Sun due to scattering of cosmic rays with solar matter and photons.more » « less

Machine learning (ML) has been applied to space weather problems with increasing frequency in recent years, driven by an influx of in-situ measurements and a desire to improve modeling and forecasting capabilities throughout the field. Space weather originates from solar perturbations and is comprised of the resulting complex variations they cause within the numerous systems between the Sun and Earth. These systems are often tightly coupled and not well understood. This creates a need for skillful models with knowledge about the confidence of their predictions. One example of such a dynamical system highly impacted by space weather is the thermosphere, the neutral region of Earth’s upper atmosphere. Our inability to forecast it has severe repercussions in the context of satellite drag and computation of probability of collision between two space objects in low Earth orbit (LEO) for decision making in space operations. Even with (assumed) perfect forecast of model drivers, our incomplete knowledge of the system results in often inaccurate thermospheric neutral mass density predictions. Continuing efforts are being made to improve model accuracy, but density models rarely provide estimates of confidence in predictions. In this work, we propose two techniques to develop nonlinear ML regression models to predict thermospheric density while providing robust and reliable uncertainty estimates: Monte Carlo (MC) dropout and direct prediction of the probability distribution, both using the negative logarithm of predictive density (NLPD) loss function. We show the performance capabilities for models trained on both local and global datasets. We show that the NLPD loss provides similar results for both techniques but the direct probability distribution prediction method has a much lower computational cost. For the global model regressed on the Space Environment Technologies High Accuracy Satellite Drag Model (HASDM) density database, we achieve errors of approximately 11% on independent test data with well-calibrated uncertainty estimates.

La documentazione grafica della Forma Urbis tra XVI e XVIII secolo: approcci, metodi e finalità
In: Bullettino della Commissione Archeologica Comunale di Roma: 117, 2017
Goal of the present paper is to analyse the graphic documentation of the Forma Urbis Romae from the years immediately following its unearthing in 1562 to the second half of the 18th century. The earliest drawings of the marble plan were executed in the 1560s on the initiative of Onofrio Panvinio, who was librarian of Cardinal Alessandro Farnese and keeper of the fragments in the Farnese Palace in Campo dei Fiori. This set of drawings, incomplete but remarkably accurate, is included in the so-called Codex Ursinianus at the Vatican Library and constitutes the only source of knowledge for those fragments that got lost in the 17th century, when the plan slid into a condition of neglect. The rediscovery of the marble plan was triggered by the Fragmenta vestigii veteris Romae ex lapidibus Farnesianis financed by Cardinal Camillo Massimo and published by Giovanni Pietro Bellori in 1673; Bellori had to rely on the drawings of the Codex Ursinianus to supplement the lost originals. When in 1742 the Farnese fragments were transferred to the Capitoline Museum, Giovanni Battista Nolli based his arrangement of the pieces largely on the plates printed by Bellori. | [

Correlation of errors in the Monte Carlo fission source and the fission matrix fundamental-mode eigenvector
2016 (English)In: Annals of Nuclear Energy, ISSN 0306-4549, E-ISSN 1873-2100, Vol. 94, 415-421 p.Article in journal (Refereed) PublishedText
Previous studies raised a question about the level of a possible correlation of errors in the cumulative Monte Carlo fission source and the fundamental-mode eigenvector of the fission matrix. A number of new methods tally the fission matrix during the actual Monte Carlo criticality calculation, and use its fundamental-mode eigenvector for various tasks. The methods assume the fission matrix eigenvector is a better representation of the fission source distribution than the actual Monte Carlo fission source, although the fission matrix and its eigenvectors do contain statistical and other errors. A recent study showed that the eigenvector could be used for an unbiased estimation of errors in the cumulative fission source if the errors in the eigenvector and the cumulative fission source were not correlated. Here we present new numerical study results that answer the question about the level of the possible error correlation. The results may be of importance to all methods that use the fission matrix. New numerical tests show that the error correlation is present at a level which strongly depends on properties of the spatial mesh used for tallying the fission matrix. The error correlation is relatively strong when the mesh is coarse, while the correlation weakens as the mesh gets finer. We suggest that the coarseness of the mesh is measured in terms of the value of the largest element in the tallied fission matrix as that way accounts for the mesh as well as system properties. In our test simulations, we observe only negligible error correlations when the value of the largest element in the fission matrix is about 0.1. Relatively strong error correlations appear when the value of the largest element in the fission matrix raises above about 0.5. We also study the effect of the error correlations on accuracy of the eigenvector-based error estimator. The numerical tests show that the eigenvector-based estimator consistently underestimates the errors in the cumulative fission source when a strong correlation is present between the errors in the fission matrix eigenvector and the cumulative fission source (i.e., when the mesh is too coarse). The error estimates are distributed around the real error value when the mesh is sufficiently fine.

The National Telecommunications Corporation (CNT) has recently launched its pay TV business through a DTH satellite technology in SD and HD. "The SD offer includes three packages, from basic to Premium, known as a super package; in addition to the packages 1 and 2, and a combination of these two," said Ramiro Almeida, manager of the office program at PMO, and responsible for the Ecuadorian government's TV Projects. "Additionally, we have an HD offer which we are gradually adding elements to," he said.
The company became part of the pay TV industry in late 2011, with the intention of taking over 15% to 20% of the market. "According to official numbers from the Telecommunications Superintendence, there are around 500,000 pay TV subscribers in Ecuador," he said. The executive stated that as a new player in the market, "it intends to take over 10% of the market" during its first year in business. | [

Designed to provide a higher rate of fire than an earlier design, the 2cm Flak 38 proved to be a mainstay of the German light anti-aircraft defences in WWII. Entering service in early 1940 this Flak saw service in all major theatres. With a small calibre it was primarily used against low flying aircraft, but was also effective against ground targets including soft-skinned vehicles. The Sd.Ah.51 trailer was used when towing the gun, behind a light truck, such as the Krupp Protze or Opel Blitz, or a half-track such as the Mauliter. The Flak 38 was also mounted on permanent positions such as Flak towers and coastal fortifications; boats; railway wagons, and military vehicles, such as the Sd.Kfz 10/5 half-track. | [

Daisy Stocking Park
Dedicated to Daisy T. Stocking, one of Daytona’s foremost African-American humanitarians and medical practitioners, Daisy Stocking Park is located in the center of Daytona Beach adjacent to Bethune-Cookman College. Leveraging a multi-million dollar renovation budget, the design focused on enhancing the facility’s user experience and visual stature parallel to the rising usage of the park space for City events, College events, art shows, and musical performances. As the project lead, Castle Bay led a team of highly-respected professional sub-consultants to design and successfully deliver a full set of construction documents within a very short 3-month design phase in an expedited effort to meet the parameters of the grant funding requirements. Once complete, park users will be in awe of the custom, architecturally dynamic shade structure placed over an elevated stage and 5 thousand square-foot seating area, multiple park elements custom designed by Castle Bay, including a 15’ tall Daisy Stocking silhouette gateway feature at the park entrance, family-style pavilions with coquina-clad barbecue grills, a woodland inspired, climbing oriented playground feature, pedestrian level lighting enhancements, multiple varieties of outdoor-rated play tables including table tennis, corn toss, and chess/checkers, as well as new native landscaping and irrigation throughout. Slated to open in the summer of 2023, Daisy Stocking Park will surely become the most revered park space in the City and likely become the gold standard by which future park spaces are prescribed to meet in their design, functionality, and sustainability. | [

Markov Chain Monte Carlo Defect Identification in NDE Images
Is Version Of
We derive a hierarchical Bayesian method for identifying elliptically‐shaped regions with elevated signal levels in NDE images. We adopt a simple elliptical parametric model for the shape of the defect region and assume that the defect signals within this region are random following a truncated Gaussian distribution. Our truncated‐Gaussian model ensures that the signals within the defect region are higher than the baseline level corresponding to the noise‐only case. We derive a closed‐form expression for the kernel of the posterior probability distribution of the location, shape, and defect‐signal distribution parameters (model parameters). This result is then used to develop Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithms for simulating from the posterior distributions of the model parameters and defect signals. Our MCMC algorithms are appliedsequentially to identify multiple potential defect regions. For each potential defect, we construct Bayesian confidence regions for the estimated parameters. Estimated Bayes factors are utilized to rank potential defects (discovered by our sequential scheme) according to goodness of fit. The performance of the proposed methods is demonstrated on experimental ultrasonic C‐scan data from an inspection of a cylindrical titanium billet.

Be sure visit our sister park, Carlsbad Caverns National Park. It is located South of Carlsbad, NM. It is a great park to visit and take in the awe of a cave system. From the large "Natural Entrance," to the evening bat flight, it has many wonders to enjoy.
At the northern edge of Carlsbad, New Mexico sits a hidden treasure. Home to more than 40 native animal species and hundreds of succulent plants from around the world. While on the 1.3 mile self-guided tour, visitors discover many faces of the Chihuahuan Desert, from sand dunes and pygmy forest to the desert floor.
Did You Know?
The long narrow leaves of the desert willow (Chilopsis linearis) gives it its common name, but it is not a true willow. It is beautiful when in bloom, and provides valuable nectar for hummingbirds, butterflies, bees and other insects. | [

According to Pat Robertson, young Earth creationists are dead wrong about the Earth being roughly about 6,000 years old. But why is it so surprising to hear a popular Christian evangelist say this?
In a related report by The Inquisitr, Pat Robertson has managed to surprise and upset many people over the years with his statements. For example, just in the last year Robertson claimed the Atkin’s diet violated God’s principles, that atheists and liberals are like Nazis, and he supposedly even predicted an asteroid will destroy the Earth (never mind that whole Revelations thing).
Now Robertson is targeting young Earth creationism:
“The truth is, you have to be deaf, dumb and blind to think that this Earth that we live in only has 6,000 years of existence, it just doesn’t, I’m sorry.”
In this case, Pat Robertson is siding with theistic evolutionists, progressive creationists, old earth creationists, and some intelligent design advocates by saying the geological record does not support the young earth position:
“I think what we’re looking at is that there was a point of time after the Earth was created, after these things were done, after the universe was formed, after the asteroid hit the Earth and wiped out the dinosaurs. After that, there was a point of time that there was a particular human being that God touched — and that was the human that started the race that we are now part of.”
Now Robertson is apparently a theistic evolutionist, which is a position supported by a group BioLogos. They say polls about creation and evolution show that Christian leaders tend to believe in certain positions depending on which group they are part of:
“The numbers varied widely based on a number of factors, however. Pastors of mainline churches were most likely to accept Theistic Evolution, while non-Mainline, Charismatic, and Southern Baptist pastors were overwhelmingly Young Earth Creationists. Pastors of larger churches were also more likely to accept Theistic Evolution.”
Only three percent of pastors believe in theistic evolution wholeheartedly while 19 percent are young earth creationists. But 35 percent said God created life in six days as the Bible teaches while at the same saying they are uncertain about the age of the Earth. Still, if you summarize the numbers by grouping together categories, 54 percent are young earth creationists of a certain type while 18 percent believe in some form of theistic evolution. | [

A masterplan for the business district surrounding the planned Kuala Lumpur-Singapore High-Speed Rail terminus by the Singapore Urban Redevelopment Authority has been revealed.
KCAP Architects and Planners have led a team including SAA Architects, Arup, S333 and Leker to create the plan.
The plan is to transform the Jurong Lake District into the country’s second Central Business District and a hub for the “emerging science and innovation corridor”.
When the high speed line is complete, the travel time between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore will be cut from three to five hours to 90 minutes.
The Jurong Lake District has plans to reduce the number of cars on the road and the draft master plan outlines a target of 85% of all trips to be made by public transport.
It is proposed that all major transport and engineering infrastructure runs underground, below the city to create a “car-lite district” and existing heritage buildings, landscapes and ecosystems are “respected and repurposed.”
The district will eventually have 100ha of green spaces, 70ha of water body and 17km of waterfront areas for social and community activities.
The masterplan will be exhibited at Singapore Urban Redevelopment Authority from 25 August to 31 August, and at The Courtyard, Westgate Mall from 8 September to 17 September. | [

A comment made by Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman at a Tel Aviv conference on January 31 sparked outrage in Lebanon, bringing the issue of the maritime border dispute between Lebanon and Israel back into the spotlight and catching Washington’s attention once again.
The Obama administration started mediating between Lebanon and Israel to help contain the dispute in 2012, but little happened on this front after President Trump took office in 2017. It seemed to all parties that mediation was no longer a priority for the US. Then, in October, during Lebanon’s first oil and gas licensing round, a consortium of companies led by France’s Total bid on Block 9, which includes a disputed maritime area. The bid rekindled interest in the dispute, but the buzz was discreet, confined to experts and diplomatic circles, until it was thrust out in the open again when Liberman described Lebanon’s offshore tender as “very provocative” and urged international companies not to bid on it, about a month and a half after licenses were awarded (see timeline).
The dispute goes back to December 2010, when Cyprus and Israel signed a maritime border agreement that was denounced by Lebanon because it encroached on parts of its exclusive economic zone (EEZ). On July 10, 2011, the Israeli cabinet approved a map of Israel’s northern maritime border, and two days later, the Israeli mission to the UN included a list of coordinates delimiting the northern end of Israel’s territorial sea and EEZ. Some of these coordinates overlapped with the Lebanese EEZ.
But to understand how we got here, we must go back to 2007. On January 17 of that year, Lebanon signed a maritime border agreement with Cyprus. It followed the standard procedure outlined in the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, or UNCLOS, marking a series of points that are equidistant from Cyprus and Lebanon known as the median line. Point 1 was used to mark the southernmost point along this line, while Point 6 marked its northernmost point. The agreement included a standard clause specifying that the coordinates of the first and last markers—in this case Points 1 and 6—may be adjusted in light of future delimitation of the EEZ with other neighboring states, since a bilateral agreement cannot define the borders of third states.
The agreement was never ratified by the Lebanese Parliament, largely because of pressure from Turkey, which denounces all maritime border agreements signed by the Republic of Cyprus with its neighboring countries. As such, the agreement never entered into force.
It wasn’t until April 2009 that a Lebanese commission tasked with defining the coordinates of Lebanon’s EEZ completed its work, identifying Point 23—17 km south of Point 1—as the southernmost point of Lebanon’s EEZ. The coordinates were approved by the cabinet on May 13, 2009 and by Parliament on August 4, 2011. In accordance with UNCLOS, Lebanon submitted the relevant charts and lists of coordinates to the UN in July and October 2010 and in November 2011. Just like Israel’s 2011 submissions, these were unilateral determinations and do not amount to border delimitation.
The question is: Why did Lebanon sign a border agreement with Cyprus in 2007, more than two years before it had a precise definition of the borders of its EEZ?
While the Lebanon–Cyprus agreement was never ratified and did not reflect Lebanon’s final position on the southern boundary of its EEZ, it did provide Israel with an opening. In December 2010, Israel signed a similar offshore border agreement with Cyprus. This deal ignored the coordinates that had been declared by Lebanon and sent to the UN a few months prior, instead using Point 1—the southernmost marker referenced in the 2007 Lebanese–Cypriot agreement—as the northernmost marker in the Israeli–Cypriot agreement. It allowed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to say in July 2010 that “the outline that Lebanon submitted to the UN … conflicts with the line that we have agreed upon with Cyprus and—what is more significant in my eyes—it conflicts with the line that Lebanon itself agreed upon with Cyprus in 2007.”
While Israel objected to the southernmost coordinates submitted by Lebanon, less known is the fact that Syria also objected to the delineation provided by Lebanon. In a letter transmitted to the UN Secretary-General on July 15, 2014, Syria stated that the delineation does not have “any binding legal effect on other states. It remains only a notification, and one to which the Syrian Arab Republic objects.” This could open Lebanon to similar dispute with Syria in the future.
Of course, the Israeli–Cypriot agreement, like the Lebanese–Cypriot agreement before it, included the standard clause specifying that the geographical coordinates of the first and last markers may be adjusted in light of future delimitation of the EEZ with other neighboring states. This left room to maneuver.
The overlap is a triangle around 856 square kilometers in size that widens as it goes further out to sea. According to Frederic Hof, the first US mediator to be involved in the EE | [

Australia’s profit-to-member superannuation funds – which include industry, public-sector and corporate funds - have demonstrated a strong commitment to the high standards of corporate governance set by AIST’s Governance Code in their reports against the Code for fiscal year 2019.
The Governance Code consists of 8 principles and 21 reporting requirements to protect and improve outcomes for superannuation fund members. The independent Governance Monitoring Panel’s Report assesses fund reporting against the Code and is publicly available as of this morning.
In the first year of reporting against the AIST Governance Code Monitoring Panel, 84.9% of 41 AIST member funds reported fully meeting Code’s 21 reporting requirements for the fiscal year 2019.
Funds reported partially meeting 12.1% of requirements while 3% of requirements were reported as not being met. Of the funds that had partially met some of the reporting requirements, most were public sector funds which have restrictions in their governing legislation, meaning that full compliance with the Governance Code is not possible.
The Chair of the independent Governance Code Monitoring Panel, Greg Brunner, said the Panel was pleased to see that the reporting standard was strong for the first year of reporting and funds recognised further opportunities for improvement.
“It’s pleasing to see that funds voluntarily reported 143 improvement activities that they will undertake over the next 12 months to continually improve governance practices,which shows the Governance Code is achieving its objective of improving governance standards from an already sound base.”
The AIST Governance Code became mandatory for AIST member funds on 1 July 2018 and fiscal year 2019 was the first full year of reporting. Further details are available in the Report on 2019 Compliance with the AIST Governance Code.

W12-034: Decontamination of household textiles exposed to Microsporum canis spores
Karen A. Moriello; University of Wisconsin-Madison: $5,363
Ringworm in cats is most commonly caused by the fungus Microsporum canis. While this skin disease is curable, treatment can be challenging because infected cats shed large amounts of infected hairs and spores into their environment. Effective cleaning is necessary to prevent contamination of the environment and prevent re-infection of cats. No evidence-based information is available for cleaning of household textiles such as fabric, carpeting, and clothing. This project will determine the efficacy of decontamination options for household textiles to identify safe and effective practices.

AB (Aurora Borealis) [uh-rawr-uh|bawr-ee-al-is]
AB, or Aurora Borealis, is a bead treatment inspired by Northern Lights. It is a coating (usually on one side) applied to glass beads that creates a rainbow or iridescent effect. The effect was invented in 1955 by Swarovski in partnership with Christian Dior.
Agate is a banded stone that has many uses. It comes in nearly all colors, and is often dyed for a more consistent and vibrant color. Its use in jewelry can be traced back to the ancient Egyptians who used it as a gemstone, and is the stone traditionally used to carve cameos with.
Amethyst is the purple form of quartz and is relatively common. It ranges in color from a pale, milky lavender to a deep, reddish purple. Its name is derived from Greek and means "not drunken." The ancient Greeks believed that amethyst protected the wearer from the effects of alcohol.
Aragonite is polymorphed calcite. Its color ranges from yellow to green to red.
Aventurine is a form of quartz that comes in a variety of colors: from green to orange to gray. The orange is caused by hematite or goethite (both forms of iron oxide).
A bail is a component that connects a pendant to a necklace. It is usually triangular in shape, but can come in other shapes like ovals as well.
Barrel clasp [bayr-el|klasp]
Barrel clasps are named so because of their resemblance to a barrel. This clasp comes in two pieces that screw together to form the barrel shape.
Base Metal [bays|met-l]
Base metal is metal that oxidizes easily when exposed to air or moisture. These metals are more common than precious metals such as gold, silver and platinum, and thus are more widely used when making jewelry supplies. Base metal gets its name because it is often the type of material which precious metal is bonded to. Base metals include aluminum, brass, copper and nickel.
Bead caps [beed|kaps]
The bead cap is used to "dress up" a bead, crystal, stone, or other type of bead. It adds a touch of elegance to your bead. It can also be used to cover imperfections, such as chips and scratches, near the hole of the bead.
Bead tips [beed|Tips]
Bead tips are made for finishing necklaces that are made with thread or cord. To use them, bring your thread up through the hole, into the clamshell part. Tie a knot to keep the beadtip tight against your last bead. Add a drop of glue and pinch the clamshell closed. Add your clasp to the metal loop and close the loop. Bead tips can also be used with organza ribbon, providing the hole is large enough, and jewelry wire. When using a bead tip with jewelry wire, use a small crimp to hole the jewelry wire securely in the clamshell.
Beading awl [beed-ing|awl]
A beading awl has several uses. It is primarily used in knotting. Instead of using tweezers, the silk is knotted around the awl's tip which is held against a surface to prevent the knot from slipping off. The end of the silk is pulled until the knot is next to the bead, and the knot is slipped of the awl and tightened. It is also a very useful tool in undoing unwanted knots. A beading awl can also be used like a bead reamer to clear the hole of a bead, to roughen the bead hole prior to the application of glue or to punch holes in materials like leather and paper.
The bicone shape looks like two cones attached at the base. For example, Swarovski's style 5301 is a bicone. It is also sometimes called a diamond shape.
Borosilicate Glass [bawr-uh-Sil-i-kit|Glass]
Borosilicate Glass is a type of glass material composed of at least five percent boric oxide. This oxide allows the glass to resist extreme temperatures, ideal in lampworking. Borosilicate glass can handle both very hot and very cold temperatures, and will crack or snap, rather than shatter, if broken.
Chain nose pliers [cheyn|Nohz|plahy-ers]
A basic tool for wire and wire working, chain nose pliers have tapered tips, smooth jaws and slightly rounded edges allow you to crimp, shape, and bend. If your pliers were lying on a table, both the side-view and top-view of the tips look like triangles.

The proposal beat out submissions from a four-strong shortlist, which included OMA in partnership with DATA architects, Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners (RSHP) in collaboration with Atelier WOA, and AAPP/Atelier d’architecture Philippe Prost.
The initiative, which aims to provide more space to house the expanding French national library collection and set new conservation standards, will see the transformation of a former hospital site in the city of Amiens in Northern France.
From the architects: "The winning project comprises two buildings within a 11,000m2 (118,400-square-foot) master plan: a 180m-long (590 feet) passive archive building for state-of-the-art collection storage and a bespoke timber framed office building for people and conservation processes.
"Located on the former Amiens hospital north site, the initiative forms part of an urban plan to establish a new cultural centre to the north and create a civic landmark in Amiens."
"The archive building will store and protect the renowned French national library collection, one of the oldest in the world. The building will contain a vast single room with fully automated storage and retrieval systems operated by state-of-the-art robotic technology. It will provide over 280 linear kilometers of storage space within a low-oxygen environment to protect the collection from fire and water damage. The building will be highly airtight to create passive temperate control, significantly reducing energy consumption in operation.
"Externally, the building features an expressive steel exoskeleton encased in stainless steel mesh. The super-airtight and lightweight structure provides all-weather protection for the collection inside and gives the building a distinctive identity and presence.
"Innovative engagement strategies will increase public interaction with the collection by incorporating a viewing gallery into the west end of the building. The gallery will offer visitors and users a unique opportunity to look into the archive, revealing the robotic automation systems within."
"The workplace building is strategically placed in front of the archive with elevated views back to the city center landmarks. The building will allow for modern digitization of the historic collection and day-to-day collection care and management. The building will be structured with low-carbon timber and will feature a large courtyard in the center to provide natural light, open green space, and better connectivity between floors."
Construction start is anticipated in spring 2026, with a projected completion by 2029.

About Loom Hall
Loom Hall is the artistic home of textile artist Peggy Taylor. The projects begin on the farm where our Shetland sheep provide the wool that is handspun, then dyed, and eventually woven into any number of fiber creations from blankets, to shawls, to table runners, to baby blankets, to Christmas decorations, to rugs, to mittens, to other clothing, to wall hangings, among other pieces of art.
The work is completed on a variety of different looms and spinning wheels. Many are historic, vintage pieces of equipment that span three centuries. Loom Hall strives to adhere to the methods and styles of early American weavers, following their patterns in developing the art.
In addition to raising her own wool, Peggy grows many of the natural dies she uses to bring color to the looms.
An outreach component of Loom Hall is found in its educational emphasis, striving to keep future generations informed about our country’s weaving heritage. Loom Hall offers several classes at Raintree Cottage in historic New Harmony, Indiana. Also, Peggy demonstrates at historic re-enactments, school programs, and historic centers such as the Lincoln Log Cabin in Illinois
Loom Hall dedicates itself to crafting high-quality early American art and to furthering the understanding and appreciation of our country’s fiber heritage. | [

LeBron James’ elbow. Kevin Garnett’s foot. Anderson Varejao’s back. Kendrick Perkins knee.
Four injuries, one report: They practiced today and are all expected to play on Friday night in the big game three between Boston and Cleveland.
See, that wasn’t so hard. Brian Windhorst handled the whole thing on twitter. If this were the regular season they all might be taking some time off but it’s the playoffs so you power through it. You play hurt. All these guys are hurting and all these guys are a go. Simple.
However, since you crave details, here are some on LeBron’s elbow, via the aforementioned Windhorst.
There was not nor will there be a second MRI on LeBron’s ailing elbow. He went through practice today without pain and said he is ready for Friday night. There was also this series of tweets about the elbow (as opposed to by the elbow):
1. LeBron has had ONE MRI on the elbow and may not even need another one this week. And he may need one, but hasn’t had it yet. 2. LeBron is hurting and it showed in Game 2 at times. But neither he nor the Cavs believe it is a serious injury that could knock him out. 3. No one sure how long it will take to heal or what steps will be taken. But the team nor LBJ seems to be hiding severity based on sources.
The bigger issue for the Cavaliers may be if Antawn Jamison can get going against Garnett and if Shaq can get going against Perkins. Mo Williams got going for one game, but Rajon Rondo is going to make it hard for that to happen again.
It’s been more about the matchups than the elbow. | [

Ubuntu in VPS Hosting
If you need an Ubuntu-powered server, you're able to get the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of the OS with each and every virtual private server plan that we provide and everything is set up within one hour, therefore you will be able to start using the VPS right away. We offer two different editions because certain pieces of software have particular requirements so as to work efficiently. You can manage an Ubuntu-powered VPS in two ways - if you order it with our in-house built Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, you'll receive an online interface and all of the software that is necessary for your web sites will be pre-installed; while in case you order it without any Control Panel, you'll receive just the OS and the Apache web server software, which means that you'll be able to set up additional software through Secure Shell. If you decide to include the Managed Services upgrade either throughout the registration process or at any later time, our administrators will keep an eye on your server and will upgrade Ubuntu on a regular basis.
Ubuntu in Dedicated Web Hosting
You're able to acquire Ubuntu with all of our dedicated server plans, due to the fact that we supply 32-bit and 64-bit versions of this Operating System. Thus, you're able to select the more appropriate of these two, depending on the type of applications which you wish to set up and run and on the system requirements they have about the OS. You'll have root-level access to the server, which will give you full control over the software environment. We'll install only the Apache web server software, which means that you are able to add whatever else you will need, even when it is not related directly to Internet sites, such as a VOIP server, for instance. You are able to control everything through a console, however if you would like, you may also set up a website hosting Control Panel, on condition that it is compatible with Ubuntu. If you order the optional Managed Services bundle, we'll maintain your Operating System up-to-date weekly and will make sure that you have the latest software packages for a reliable and risk-free server environment. | [

Cancer diagnosis waiting times down8th November 2011
Data from England's General Practice Research Database has shown the average times for cancer diagnosis have decreased since the millennium.
The figures showed bowel cancer is now diagnosed an average of 75 days after a person goes to see their doctor. The average time in 2001-02 was 96 days.
The average diagnosis time for oesophageal cancer in 2001-02 was 59 days, which reduced to 48 days in 2007-08.
However although breast, lung and stomach cancer also showed a drop in average diagnosis times, they were not as marked.
The data from the database covered over 14,400 patients aged 40 or older who were diagnosed with one of six types of cancer and had shown cancer symptoms.
The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence provides guidelines for England and Wales which suggest patient symptoms such as weight loss which could indicate the presence of cancer.
Dr Richard Neal, of Bangor University and the study's lead researcher spoke at the National Cancer Research Institute Cancer Conference in Liverpool and said: "This gives clear guidance on which symptoms should prompt a doctor to refer a patient for further investigation. But there is considerable variation between cancers, with diagnostic intervals highest in those cancers which are more difficult to diagnose."
"And we do not fully know the effect of the reduction of diagnostic intervals on improvements in stage at diagnosis and long term survival."

Wood Alcohol (Methanol)
WOOD ALCOHOL (METHANOL)
Methanol (methyl alcohol, CH 3 OH) is the simplest of the alcohols. It is the natural by-product of wood distillation—an older method of producing drinking Alcohol (ethanol). Chemically synthesized methanol is a common industrial solvent found in paint remover, cleansing agents, and antifreeze. It is used to denature the ethanol found in some of these solutions and thereby render them unfit for drinking.
Methanol ingestion is usually accidental, but some alcoholics resort to the desperate measure of consuming methanol when they cannot obtain the beverage ethanol. Persons working in poorly ventilated areas can suffer ill effects from inhaling methanol-containing products, and ingestion of methanol is considered a medical emergency. Methanol is metabolized to formaldehyde and formic acid by the same liver enzymes that break down ethanol (these are alcohol dehydrogenase and aldehyde dehydrogenase). The formaldehyde and formic acid are toxic metabolites responsible for the symptoms of methanol poisoning; these appear several hours or days after methanol ingestion. Blurred vision, leading to permanent bilateral blindness, is characteristic of methanol poisoning. The accumulation of formic acid results in severe metabolic acidosis, which can rapidly precipitate coma and death. Other symptoms of methanol toxicity include dizziness, headaches, cold clammy extremities, abdominal pain, vomiting, and severe back pain.
The treatment for methanol poisoning is sodium bicarbonate, given to reverse the acidosis. In more serious cases, dialysis may be required; in addition, ethanol is given intravenously because it competitively binds to alcohol dehydrogenase, thereby slowing the production of toxic metabolites and allowing unchanged methanol to be excreted in the urine.

I love a cookie exchange party! I mean, who can say no to dozens of cookie varieties!?!
You've been invited to a cookie exchange party, and you know what you're baking up, but what are you going to wear?
Go for a pattern - Tights can be boring, but they're a winter staple if you plan on wearing a dress. Opt for something with a pattern or a little texture.
Say yes to turtlenecks - You can only get away with this neckline a few months out of the year, so go for it!
Carry a small bag - You'll be loaded up with cookie when you leave so keep it simple.
Wear a statement earring - Pick a statement earring like our glean earrings. You can choose from 3 metal finishes, sterling silver, gold filled and rose gold filled. | [

I-95 SOUTH AUXILIARY LANE CONSTRUCTION UNDERWAY IN WOODBRIDGE – Lane closures on southbound I-95 in project area June 24-29
WOODBRIDGE – Work is underway to create an auxiliary lane on southbound I-95 from Route 123 (Gordon Boulevard) to the Prince William Parkway (Route 294), according to the Virginia Department of Transportation.
The project will convert about a mile and a half of the existing shoulder to a travel lane, from the end of the existing entrance ramp from Route 123 to the beginning of the exit ramp to the Prince William Parkway. The auxiliary lane will make it easier for drivers to merge into and out of traffic between the ramps and free up additional room for through-drivers.
The project will also:
• Provide a new paved shoulder
• Relocate noise walls as needed
• Replace impacted roadway lighting
• Install or upgrade guardrails
• Build new retaining walls.
Southbound I-95 averages about 92,000 vehicles a day in this area.
Lane Closures June 24-29
Daytime lane closures will occur along southbound I-95 between Route 123 (Exit 160) and the Prince William Parkway (Exit 158) for preliminary work according to the following schedule:
• 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Thursday, June 24: Single-lane closures
• 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. Friday, June 25: Single-lane closures
Nighttime lane closures will occur along southbound I-95 between Route 123 and the Prince William Parkway for temporary restriping according to the following schedule:
• 10 p.m. Saturday, June 26 to 7 a.m. Sunday, June 27: Left lane and center lane closed
• 10 p.m. Sunday, June 27 to 5 a.m. Monday, June 28: Right lane and center lane closed (the Route 123 and Prince William Parkway ramps will remain open)
Nighttime lane closures will occur along southbound I-95 between Route 123 and the Prince William Parkway to install barriers according to the following schedule:
• 9:30 p.m. Monday, June 28 to 6 a.m. Tuesday, June 29: Right lane closed
• 9:30 p.m. Tuesday, June 29 to 6 a.m. Wednesday, June 30: Right lane closed
The I-95 southbound auxiliary lane project is expected to be complete in fall 2022. All work will be done within the existing right of way and mostly beyond concrete barriers, with few traffic impacts expected.
The project is being completed as part of the I-95 Corridor Improvement Plan, and is financed with a portion of the concession fee provided under the 95 Express Lanes Project Comprehensive Agreement.

Jimmy Skroch threw a complete game, striking out 13 batters, to lead the Vikings to a 7-3 win over Hibbing in the section championship game to earn a trip to the state tournament for the first time in at least 30 years. The game was played at historic Wade Stadium in Duluth Tuesday, June 7. The Vikings will play their first round game in the state tournament June 16 at Siebert Field at the U of M, with the time and opponent to be determined.
The fifth-seeded Vikings started their unexpected run through the section tournament with a 4-3 extra inning win over fourth-seeded Duluth Denfeld, on Wednesday, June 1. The next day, they outslugged Zimmerman, the number eight seed, 13-8.
And on Saturday, June 4, the Vikings squeaked by second-seeded Hibbing 1-0 to earn the right to play for the second championship. Hibbing beat Princeton in an afternoon match June 7 to earn the right to play the Vikings that evening.
And the Vikings came through, in a big way.
Championship Game: North Branch 7, Hibbing 3
The Vikings scored three runs in the first inning and four runs in the third to go up 7-0 in the championship game. Hibbing scored three runs in the fifth inning with two outs, but that was all they could muster in an otherwise dominant performance from Skroch.
Skroch singled in the first run of the game in the first inning. Josh Petrik added an RBI single and Brady Brodin walked with the bases loaded to force in a run and put the Vikings up 3-0 after one. In the third, Brodin singled and Dawson Linkert was hit by a pitch. The runners moved up to second and third. Nick Fairbanks hit a sacrifice fly, scoring Linkert to make it 4-0. Jared Kozar singled to drive in Linkert. Skroch walked. Ryan Byrkit doubled to drive in both runners and the Vikings led 7-0.
With the Vikings leading 7-3 in the seventh, with one out, a Hibbing batter hit a line drive toward right center. Second baseman Nick Solberg caught the liner and fired to first baseman Byrkit to complete a double play, end the game and begin the celebration.
Longtime Viking head coach Steve Christensen said “Jimmy gave a great performance again. Everyone has been stepping up in different situations. It was a true team effort. I’m so proud of these guys. They are excited to be where they’re at, and deservedly so!”
If the Vikings had lost this game, they would have had the chance to play Hibbing again the next day to try to win the section since it would have been the Vikings’ first loss of the tournament.
Game 1: North Branch 4, Duluth Denfeld 3
Jared Kozar drove in the go ahead run with one out in the top of the eighth inning and Dylan Ramberg pitched a perfect bottom of the eighth to pick up the save as the Vikings beat Duluth Denfeld 4-3 in the opening game of the Section 7AA tournament. Jimmy Skroch pitched the first seven innings to earn the win. The game was played Wednesday, June 1 at Wade Stadium in Duluth.
The Vikings burst out of the gate with three runs in the top of the first. With one out, Jared Kozar walked, Skroch singled and Byrkit walked to load the bases. Two runs scored when Nick Solberg reached on an error. Josh Petrik’s sacrifice fly made the score 3-0. Denfeld scored twice in the second and once in the fifth to tie the game at 3-3, which is where the score stood at the end of seven. Dawson Linkert led off the top of the eighth with a single to left. Caleb Stiles sacrificed him to second. Nick Fairbanks singled to right center to move Linkert to third. Kozar then singled to left to drive in Linkert and put the Vikings up by one. Ramberg’s 1-2-3 inning in the bottom of the eighth sealed the win and put the Vikings in the winner’s bracket, which is a much easier path to a section championship than the loser’s bracket.
Viking head coach Steve Christensen said “We played really well. We had some early opportunities to get some more runs across, but Denfeld made some nice defensive plays to stall us. Skroch pitched great, and Ramberg came in to close it down. Our defense made the plays when we needed to
get out of some innings.”
Game 2: North Branch 13, Zimmerman 8

Sinking and heaving asphalt can be disastrous to your asphalt pavement. Here is why that happens and how to fix it.
Repairs can take different forms depending on the extent of the damage. After we assess the problem, we can decide on the best course of action that will allow you access to your paved surface as quickly as possible. We can get to cracks as soon as they appear and keep your pavement from sinking. Some sections may have to be removed to facilitate the repairs. Sometimes it is only necessary to remove the top layer, but we may have to dig deeper if there is a problem with the subgrade. Of course, regular maintenance can keep your paved areas strong for years. Services like sealcoating and crack routing can help to prevent water seepage so that the top layer will keep holding up. You can do your part by keeping an eye on your asphalt surfaces and calling us when you notice a problem.
Heaving (From Frost)
Frost heave is a common problem in colder climates. Many people are watching their asphalt heave as the winter temperatures fluctuate. The cause is the freezing and thawing that comes with above and below freezing temperatures that start the formation of ice lenses. Ice lenses form in the soil under the asphalt and push the surface up as they grow. They are fed from every direction and will continue to grow as long as there is an available water supply. Silt or clay soils are more susceptible to frost heave than better draining soil mixtures. Many people never notice the winter frost heave on their older driveways that have sunken at the garage; but once they repave and have a surface that is even with their garage floor, the heaving is much more noticeable. Chances are, after winter your pavement will need maintenance and repairs. Proper initial installation is extremely important in decreasing the number of repairs and damages frost and winter conditions can cause. A base that is too thin, or one with extremely fine soil can be more susceptible to water and frost heave damages. A parking lot lacking proper drainage can also be a leading factor in excessive asphalt damages and/or surrounding structure damages.

America's Farthest Reaching Environmental Issue
America's farthest reaching environmental issue
December 1, 1996 |
Great Lakes Bulletin News Service
Since the first Earth Day in 1970, two ideas have served as the central organizing principles of American environmentalism. The first is the lesson from Rachel Carson's book, Silent Spring, that everything in nature is connected. And the second is that there are good guys and bad guys -- the battles over Love Canal and the spotted owl are among the most famous examples.
As environmentalism matures, the Silent Spring lesson is becoming more inclusive. While advocates always have noted that the health of the planet is essential to human health, too often environmentalism has been seen as an elitist cause, something to worry about after more pressing issues like crime, education, job security, housing, and juggling work and family.
A new environmental ethic now is evolving, one that recognizes the importance of economic, social, and cultural connections, as well as natural ones. It comes from a recognition that humans need to be comfortable in their own niche and habitat.
The broadening of environmentalism also means that it no longer is always a good guy/bad guy issue. Groups that in the past might automatically have been considered adversaries now are often effective partners, as they identify practical alternatives to wasteful or polluting methods.
All of these ideas are converging to stimulate debate about America's farthest-reaching environmental issue: suburban sprawl.
Long relegated to the domain of eye-glazing matters like foot-thick zoning ordinances, plat maps, and sewer systems, reining in sprawl is emerging as a central organizing principle.
It is uniting activists, leaders, and concerned citizens from a wide diversity of interests -- from local chambers of commerce, to advocates for affordable housing and mass transit, to farmers getting priced out of business, to local governments trying to finance essential services, to conservationists worried about increased air and water pollution and loss of open space, to soccer moms tired of spending all day in the car.
They are discovering that misguided tax policies, transportation subsidies, and economic incentives have hollowed out cities and paved over farmland. They see that these policies are becoming the primary challenges to safeguarding natural resources, improving air and water quality, and protecting biodiversity.
They are recognizing that the splendid isolation of the conventional suburb is resulting in a loss of community. They also see that sprawl is hampering the economy, and interfering in the nation's sense of well-being.
It's no accident, argues author James Kunstler, that as investment was re-directed outside of cities to the sprawling suburbs, a wave of social problems swamped America: crime, declining education standards, a lack of confidence in government, harried lives, and incivility. Sprawl has become the embodiment of what Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Bruce Catton, who was raised in Benzonia, called the "fearful heritage" of the 20th Century.
To understand just how deeply concerns about sprawl are penetrating into communities, consider what is happening in rural northwest Michigan. The very same mixture of economic, technological, and demographic trends that already have overtaken countless places in America are pressuring local leaders. Land is being divided and built out at a dizzying pace. Property values and school enrollment are soaring. National chain retailers are rolling in. Traffic congestion is worsening.
The local conversation is taking into account the inter-relatedness of the issues. For example, residents are worried about water pollution in the sparkling clear inland lakes and rivers. The largest uncontrolled source of water pollution comes from runoff. Addressing the problem means enlarging riparian habitat and wetlands, and slowing the spread of concrete and asphalt -- all of which falls under the heading of land use.
Another concern is about increasing air pollution. There is little chance that air quality will improve unless people drive less. This will not happen while the population of automobiles in northwest Michigan, as in the rest of the nation, is increasing twice as fast as the number of people, and when households generate an average of nine auto trips a day. Despite more stringent limits on tailpipe emissions, the increase in automobile travel is expected to make air pollution considerably worse in 2010 than it is today, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
The solution for northwest Michigan will depend on generating the political will to encourage alternatives to cars for people to get where they want to go. It means creating orderly neighborhoods where shopping, services, offices and entertainment are close enough to homes to make walking, biking, ride-sharing, and mass transit more convenient. Again, the answer lies in redefining how land is used.
The discussion about growth also has centered on how to preserve the region's forests, orchards, and small town life. In public meetings, residents predict that sprawling growth will accelerate the pace of life, that crime will rise, that taxes will | [

Pittosporum tenuifolium is a native to New Zealand and a highly hybridised species. In its natural habitat it will reach around 8 – 10m in height. It is a plant that easily pruned to size and this gives it the characteristics that make it suited for use as a hedging plant or screen.
With dozens of cultivars available varieties can be found that will be low growing, from 1m in height, to tall at around 8 – 10m. Foliage and stem colour also differs as does the size and shape of the leaf.
Growing well in full sun to part shade some cultivars also make a good container plant.
Widely used as a screening tree or hedging plant. Look for the dwarf forms of Pittosporum Tenuifolium such as ‘Tom Thumb’ which will only reach 1m or so, interesting in a container. ‘Golf Ball’ is another dwarf cultivar
Pittosporum Tenuifolium Care
All cultivars require similar conditions and a well drained soil is essential, heavy clay soils may require some remedial work to improve drainage, in very sandy soils dig in some coir peat, well rotted compost and manure before planting to improve water retention. A slow release fertiliser twice a year is usually adequate.
Pittosporum tenuifoliam species and cultivars are better suited to cool and temperate climates than tropical areas. Prune regularly when young to create a dense growth.
- Green Pillar 3-4m
- Silver Sheen 4-5m
- Golden Sheen 3m
- Golf Ball 1m
- Silver Song 4-5m
- Screen Master
- Stirling Mist
and many others.

Ken Pearce throttles back on his outboard motor, his boat slowing as it cuts through the waters of the lower Fraser River near Steveston, B.C.
He’s spotted a half-dozen seals swimming in a side channel.
“They’ve fed on the rising tide and now they’re coming in to soak up the sun and snooze,” he says.
Pearce views the animals as a major threat to migrating salmon and the endangered killer whales that feed on them.
He wants tens of thousands of them killed in a commercial hunt.
His group, Pacific Balance Pinniped Society, has support from some First Nations, commercial fishing groups and elements of the sport fishing industry.

NATURAL GAS AND HYDROGEN STORAGE EXPERIENCE
Natural gas has been stored successfully in underground aquifers and depleted natural gas fields and solution mined salt caverns since the early 1950s. The design and operation of an underground air storage system is based first on the concept of multiple barriers to airflow, and second on reservoir engineering hydraulic principles. An additional principle is that air pressures must not compromise the stability or integrity of the vessel by creating potential pathways (fractures) for air migration, and/or the loss of storage space due to collapse or chemical reactions.
Hydrodynamics’ Principals have long careers in the natural gas storage industry with years of gas storage field siting, development, and reservoir operation and management experience. Hydrodynamics was selected to find candidate sites and design natural gas reservoirs for:
- USTDA Republic of Georgia International Oil Co.
- Trinidad & Tobago National Gas Co. Project
- USAID Republic of Georgia Oil Shale Project
- Two Expert Witness Cases in Illinois
- Reservoir Engineer at the Natural Gas Pipeline Co. in Chicago
These studies required the analysis of complex subsurface geological structures, and reservoir simulation modeling to determine both feasibility and economic merits.
HYDROGEN STORAGE EXPERTISE
Because of recent technical advances, hydrogen has the potential to provide carbon-free fuel for transportation, supplement natural gas supplies, and generate power. It is the smallest known molecule and is highly flammable and corrosive. These issues complicate the ability to store hydrogen.
Hydrodynamics has evaluated salt beds in Delta, Utah and Arizona for large scale hydrogen storage. The focus of our studies was to determine the required storage capacity of caverns, and to evaluate the thermodynamics storage issue for highly pressurized hydrogen. | [

As the summer comes to a close and a new school year begins, I take this time to reflect. As I embark upon my own personal and academic journey, I can’t help but think of all the great projects and adventures that many of my friends have taken, are taking, and will take. So I felt it only right that I share a conversation that I had with a fellow Afrofuturist/Comic Book/Graphic Novel/African American Studies scholar.
Almost three years ago in Atlanta, GA at the National Council of Black Studies (NCBS) conference, I met a bright young scholar, Schetauna Powell, whose work would align with my presentation on Janelle Monae and Afrofuturism. We chatted for a while and found we had a lot in common. Fast forwarding to this summer, Schetauna and linked up again via FB and as a result have a great conversation, that I just had to share with my BGN community. Check it out below:
So this past Spring you recently completed your MA in Pan-African Studies (Congrats!!) what did your research entail?
Before I was accepted into the PAS MA program on scholarship, I had studied Studio Arts and English at the University of Houston. I was always interested in working creatively when I was younger and very passionate about expressing myself through writing and drawing/painting/sculpture. While I was working my way through the English Department at UH, I took an American Lit. class that focused on a comparative analysis of journey narratives. Two books that I found the most interesting was Huckleberry Finn by Twain and The Road by McCarthy. Within the assignment we were asked to look at the parallels between the two books. Quite frankly it astonished me to find that the perspective of the two narratives were so similar. In essence a novel written in 1884 had the same perspective as a sci-fi novel written in 2006. In some ways it emphasized to me how the American ethos had not really changed dramatically. I really enjoyed this class because it allowed me to see that link, and it introduced a new way of understanding sci-fi narratives as a continuation of logic from the past, projected into the future. This was my thinking at the start of my program and I decided that what I really needed was to find Black voices within sci-fi so that I could compare them against the mainstream white voices that I came across so often in movies and books.
During the early stages of my research I focused on the end of the world narrative because that was the analogy that fit my view of the world at the time. I really wanted to find Black voices that spoke on the chaos and destruction that is a mainstay of the “post-apocalyptic” novel and see the solutions they presented within their narratives. During my search I found a multitude of sci-fi novels by Black authors about the end of the world. Samuel Delany Dhalgren, Octavia Butler’s Parables, and Nalo Hopkinson’s Black Girl in the Ring just to name a few of the BIG names in Black Science fiction. However the longer I looked the more I realized that this subject “the end of the world” was a key part of Black Cultural tradition.
My research focused on the Eschatology of Black Culture, and I ended up taking my MA Exam over the basic qualities and characteristics of Afrofuturism and why Octavia Butler’s works reflect Afrofuturist perspectives and ideology.
What sparked your interest in Afrofuturism?
After finding Eshun’s article through JSTOR I began to switch my gears from the general study of Black sci-fi to studying more about Afrofuturism. The true initial spark I really couldn’t say because I have always been interested in the knowledge and information that exists within an Afrofuturist epistemology, I just did not have a name for it! When I discovered the word “Afrofuturism” I realized that I had been reading from scholars and artist that contribute to the field for a long time at that point: Basquiat – I studied his life and works during my time in art school because I admired his work and was moved by his life story; Toni Morrision – among all of her books, her Dantesque trilogy Beloved, Jazz, and Paradise were styled to be like a descent into hell was one of my earliest reads during my journey to discover Afrofuturism. The fact that it was designed as a spiral into hell and combined magical realism into her stories connecting the lives of African American characters to our history and political moments made her works an early interest for my research. I had even dared to comprehend Paul Gilroy’s The Black Atlantic during a paper I was writing about Olaudah Equiano during my undergrad years! Little did I know that Gilroy’s book that had much | [

Help, I have a Natural Gas forced Hot Air furnace installed by a previous owner. Just to make sure it was sort of done right Had heating contractor come over to check it out, but he was only a little help, he let me know I needed more return air duct but not how much. How do I figure out how much return ducting in Sq in for a upflow furnace with a 1600cfm 3/4 hp blower or are there a lot more things I need to consider. I know bends and transitions in ducting affect their performance but maybe just a rough idea will help.

Pete Davidson Defends His Storied Dating History — Having Relationships With 10 People In 12 Years Is NBD!
Pete Davidson is getting real about his dating life. By the sound of it, he’s sick and tired of fan commentary on his high-profile pursuit of love!
The 29-year-old comedian sat down for a new interview with Jon Bernthal this week. Speaking on Bernthal’s popular Real Ones podcast, Pete got, well, real about his romantic life. And he clarified some things about his A-list set of exes, too!

This Real Ones episode was released to Bernthal’s Patreon subscribers on Thursday. Clips were slowly making their way online by Friday morning, but the full thing hasn’t come out in public view yet. Regardless, insiders are already reacting to the Saturday Night Live alum’s frank and honest interview comments.
When Jon asked Pete about why the public is so interested in his love life, Kim Kardashian‘s ex offered up the opinion that he actually doesn’t think his romantic interests should be that, well, interesting:
“I think what happened was I became more known before the work was there. But I was always working. … Look, I’m in my 20s and I’ve dated people and for some reason that is very crazy and interesting to people. I don’t think it’s that interesting.”
“I’ve been in show business for half my life almost, for like 14, 15 years, and on a national TV show. And in 12 years, I’ve dated like 10 people, I don’t really think that’s that crazy. But to some people it seems very interesting.”
The Meet Cute star went on to admit that the public’s fixation on his dating world has been “confusing.” Noting how he’s not active on social media, and thus not trying to pick up online clout with partners, Pete explained:
“I’m not on Instagram. I’m not on social media. I’m not, like, flexing, you know what I mean?”
The stand-up comedian added:
“These people that I’ve dated, like I’ve met them at work. Like, I wasn’t in anyone’s DMs, no one was in mine. … I worked at one of the five Hollywood epicenters where you meet people. And that’s just who I was working with and who I was around.”
For the Staten Island-born Davidson — who is currently dating Chase Sui Wonders — it’s been a maddening experience to try to grow his career while “all anyone will talk about” are his high-profile pursuits.

Things got particularly difficult in the years before he left SNL back in 2022. Pete recalled feeling “insecure” and like “a small person” while fans on set seemed to be reveling in his personal backstory more than his comedy during his eight-season run on the sketch show. He explained:
“They’re making fun of you … and then you gotta walk out and do a sketch next and hit your mark. The show just made fun of you, so why [is the audience] going to laugh at you? They just dogged you!”
“[It has] zero to do with the work, and that is a really s**tty feeling.”
Of course, the King of Staten Island star has quite the dating resume: the aforementioned SKIMS mogul, Kate Beckinsale, Margaret Qualley, Emily Ratajkowski, and his 2018 whirlwind romance and brief engagement to Ariana Grande all come to mind. Even slightly lesser-profile women like Kaia Gerber, Phoebe Dynevor, Cazzie David, and Carly Aquilino have notably been in the mix.
Pete has only upped his comedy profile through it all, landing Netflix specials and starring in new projects like Wizards! even after leaving SNL at the end of last season. So the two have gone hand-in-hand — at least in fans’ minds and on social media.

The SIMPLE solution would be for each airliner to carry a few sets of reinforced carbon fibre pressure containers, that have either a glide device, or parachutes attached and flotation device for over water. When out of populated areas, the excess fuel can simply be pumped into these tanks, and jettisoned to be retrieved by dedicated recovery almost immediately.

There isn't usually a lot of aircraft in the sky up here anyway, so to be honest I wouldn't have noticed that there was a flight ban if I hadn't been made aware of it from other sources.

The name given by the Chumash tribe of Native Americans for the area now known as Los Angeles translates to "the valley of smoke". because of the smog from native campfires. Owing to geography, heavy reliance on automobiles, and the Los Angeles/Long Beach port complex, Los Angeles suffers from air pollution in the form of smog. The Los Angeles Basin and the San Fernando Valley are susceptible to atmospheric inversion, which holds in the exhausts from road vehicles, airplanes, locomotives, shipping, manufacturing, and other sources.
Fog is a cloud that is in contact with the ground. A cloud may be considered partly fog; for example, the part of a cloud that is suspended in the air above the ground is not considered fog, whereas the part of the cloud that comes in contact with higher ground is considered fog.
Fog is distinguished from mist only by its density, as expressed in the resulting decrease in visibility: Fog reduces visibility to less than 1 km, whereas mist reduces visibility to no less than 1 km but less than 2 km. For aviation purposes in the UK, a visibility of less than 2 km but greater than 999 m is considered to be mist if the relative humidity is 95% or greater - below 95% haze is reported.
The foggiest place in the world is the Grand Banks off the island of Newfoundland, the meeting place of the cold Labrador Current from the north and the much warmer Gulf Stream from the south. Some of the foggiest land areas in the world include Point Reyes, California and Argentia, Newfoundland and Labrador, each with over 200 foggy days per year.
Fog forms when the difference between temperature and dew point is generally less than 2.5 °C or 4 °F.
Fog begins to form when water vapor condenses into tiny liquid water droplets in the air. Conversely, water vapor is formed by the evaporation of liquid water or by the sublimation of ice. Since water vapor is colorless, it is actually the small liquid water droplets that are condensed from it that make water suspended in the atmosphere visible in the form of fog or any other type of cloud | [

Overall Canadian crude oil imports rose slightly in 2016 to reach 759 thousand barrels per day (Mb/d). Imports from the United States (U.S.) fell from 473 Mb/d to 412 Mb/d or 54% of all imports, reversing a multi-year upward trend. Overseas imports rose from 277 Mb/d to 348 Mb/d.
Canada produces more oil than it consumes and as a result, is a significant net exporter of crude oil. In 2018, Canada was the largest foreign supplier of crude oil to the U.S., accounting for 48% of total U.S. crude oil imports and for 22% of U.S. refinery crude oil intake. How Much Oil Does Canada Import & Other Oil Statistics June 8, 2018 June 8, 2018 Canada imports about 1 BILLION barrels of oil per year, nearly all into Quebec and Ontario in-spite of the fact that it exports 3.1 Billion barrels of oil per year. The U.S. imports almost three times as much crude from Canada than it does from the Persian Gulf. Even without the 800 MBOPD capacity of TransCanada’s Keystone XL pipeline, crude oil imports In 2018, Canada imported 18.8 million metric tons of crude oil from the United States, which was the largest quantity Canada imported from of any country. Canada produces more oil than it can consume. As a result, Canada is a significant net exporter of crude oil. In 2014, Canada exported 2.85 million barrels per day of crude oil. Of this, 97% went to the United States and the remaining 3% went to Europe and Asia. Due to the regional nature of Canadian refining markets, Canada also imports some The United States both imports and exports petroleum (a broad term that includes crude oil and refined products such as gasoline, diesel and jet fuels, and other products; “petroleum” and “oil” are sometimes used interchangeably 1) in various quantities depending on cost and demand.Overall, the United States imports more than it exports, making it a net importer of petroleum.

There have been many text message based initiatives in developing countries recently to achieve health, agriculture, education and economic development goals. Most initiatives use bulk text messaging to broadcast information such as crop reports and health advisories to the general population. In countries where the infrastructure is under developed this can be the most effective way of communicating. Often this is one way communications (broadcast) but where two way communications is provided the cost of the communications relative to local incomes is high and the cost and availability of staff to respond remain a challenge. More local support and a collaborative sharing of skills and resources locally is a more viable solution but the cost of using the existing telecommunication infrastructure remains an issue. Creating a local mesh network for peer to peer communications between individuals in small under served communities is a way of facilitating that communications. | [

Organoids, combined with genetic editing strategies, have the potential to offer rapid and efficient investigation of gene function in many models of human disease. However, to date, the editing efficiency of organoids with the use of non-viral electroporation methods has only been up to 30%, with implications for the subsequent need for selection, including turnaround time and exhaustion or adaptation of the organoid population. Here, we describe an efficient method for intestinal organoid editing using a ribonucleoprotein-based CRISPR approach. Editing efficiencies of up to 98% in target genes were robustly achieved across different gut anatomical locations and developmental timepoints from multiple patient samples with no observed off-target editing. The method allowed us to study the effect of loss of the tumour suppressor gene PTEN in normal human intestinal cells. Analysis of PTEN-deficient organoids defined phenotypes that likely relate to its tumour suppressive function in vivo, such as a proliferative advantage and increased organoid budding. Transcriptional profiling revealed differential expression of genes in pathways commonly known to be associated with PTEN loss, including mTORC1 activation.
Epithelial cells isolated from their resident tissue can be instructed to form three-dimensional (3D) self-organising and renewing organoid structures when placed in 3D matrices and provided with appropriate niche signals to maintain proliferative stem cells (Sato et al., 2009). Organoids have bridged the gap between in vivo tissue-based observations in human and mouse and those made in cell lines cultured in two dimensions. They have diverse applications, from mechanistic studies of tissue development to disease modelling and regenerative medicine (Rossi et al., 2018).
Organoid research has matured partly due to the concurrent development of technologies for genetic engineering, enabling studies of gene function (Fujii et al., 2015; Fessler et al., 2016; Kraiczy et al., 2017; van Rijn et al., 2018). Edited organoids have also been used for xenotransplantation approaches (Drost et al., 2015; Matano et al., 2015; Fumagalli et al., 2017). There are two main methods for introducing genome editing components into the cells: viral (retrovirus, lentivirus) and non-viral (electroporation and lipofection) (Teriyapirom et al., 2021). Viral methods could traditionally reach efficiencies of 30-50%, but more recent modifications of the transduction method have achieved efficiencies of 80-100% (Pirona et al., 2020; Gu et al., 2022). However, viral methods have associated biosafety and permanent integration issues, whereas non-viral methods are simpler, minimising the time required for the production of the viral particles, which can take up to 2-3 months (Lin et al., 2022). For the non-viral methods, electroporation has been found to result in higher organoid-editing efficiencies (Fujii et al., 2015).
There are two approaches for genetic editing reagents based around delivery of encoding vectors or ribonucleoprotein (RNP) (Fig. 1A). For the RNP-based approach, a synthetic guide RNA is complexed with a purified recombinant Cas9 protein. This approach eliminates the need to translate the Cas9 protein and has reduced off-target effects (Kim et al., 2014). More specifically, a 2.5- to 28-fold reduction in off-target effects has been reported with an RNP method compared to plasmid-based methods (Liang et al., 2015; Zhang et al., 2021). For these reasons, RNP-based approaches are being rapidly adopted by the genome editing community (DeWitt et al., 2017). However, so far, vector-based approaches have been mainly used to edit human organoids, resulting in efficiencies of only 10-30% (Fujii et al., 2015). This requires subsequent selection of the edited population, using antibiotics or growth factors, and increases the time required for the generation of engineered populations, risking their exhaustion or adaptation during expansion.
Here, we describe an efficient method for the generation of genetic knockout (KO) human intestinal organoids using an RNP-based CRISPR approach with the use of electroporation to deliver the editing components. Owing to the high editing efficiencies, no subsequent clone selection is required. The method was applied to study the effect of the loss of the tumour suppressor gene PTEN. Molecular and phenotypic characterisation of the edited organoids functionally validated the approach and allowed behaviours likely relating to the tumour suppressive role of PTEN to be described.
Generation and validation of PTEN KO organoids
For RNP-mediated editing, a custom-made synthetic guide RNA is complexed with a recombinant Cas9 protein (Fig. 1A). Guide RNAs were designed using online tools Benchling and Indelphi with a predicted on-target score >40 (Doench et al., 2016), off-target score >80 (Hsu et al., 2013) and frameshifting score >80 (Shen et al | [

Often when I paint, I paint images that either speak of how I feel now or how I would like to feel. In this painting, it speaks of how I would like to feel. It is like a visual affirmation. In this painting I painted a version of myself that is one with the universe and my light is radiantly shining forth offering to the world the gifts that are uniquely mine to give.
Her dress is green because green is a color that symbolizes healing. Her hair is flowing with stars to symbolize her connection with the universe. The sun in her hands symbolize the light of what I have to offer the world. And I always include the color of purple in my paintings because I think of purple as the color of spirituality. | [

October 2018 – With the adoption of Article 6 of the Paris Agreement, former debates about generating carbon credits on the basis of national policies have resurged. National policies have not been eligible as project activities under the Kyoto Protocol’s flexible mechanisms. The Paris Agreement opens the possibility for such policy crediting but also provides an entirely new context: Universal participation, ambitious long-term targets and nationally defined contributions (NDCs) that are to be made more ambitious over time. As this paper shows, these changes in the framework conditions add an additional layer of complexity to policy-based cooperation.
The paper explores the potential for policy-based cooperation by first briefly presenting the regulatory basis provided by the Paris Agreement before outlining a prototype for policy-based cooperation and its key challenges.

The strength of the Earth's gravitational field at a particular point. It is defined as the gravitational force in newtons that acts on a mass of one kilogram. The value of g on the Earth's surface is taken to be 9.806 N kg-1.
The symbol g is also used to represent the acceleration of a freely falling object in the Earth's gravitational field. Near the Earth's surface and in the absence of friction due to the air, all objects fall with an acceleration of 9.8 m s-2.

US stocks rebounded strongly in early trade Tuesday, surging well over one per cent one day after their steepest plunge since the 2008 financial crisis.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average added more than two per cent in early trade before falling back slightly, while the Nasdaq's early gain topped 2.6 per cent.
At 1415 GMT (0015 AEST) the Dow was up 183.99 points (1.70 per cent) to 10,993.84.
The broader S&P 500 rose 24.43 (2.18 per cent) to 1,143.89, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite picked up 60.57 points (2.57 per cent) to 2,418.26.
The slight rebound came after Monday's rout, the biggest plunge since the financial crisis of 2008, driven by the news that Standard & Poor's had downgraded the US credit rating as well as worries about a new recession.
The Dow lost 5.6 per cent, the S&P 500 6.7 per cent, and the Nasdaq 6.9 per cent.
Traders were looking ahead for inspiration from the Federal Reserve's policy-setting committee, which was meeting on Tuesday to discuss what can be done to boost the sagging economy.
"This positive price action comes ahead of the Federal Open Market Committee's latest decision on monetary policy," said Sarah Wasserman of Schaeffer's Investment Research.
"While the Fed's been noncommittal about additional monetary easing, Friday's downgrade has spurred hopes that additional assistance from the government could, perhaps, be on the horizon."
Bank of America jumped 6.1 per cent, rebounding from its 20.3 per cent plunge on Monday spurred by AIG's $US10.5 billion ($A10.34 billion) lawsuit against the bank over losses incurred on mortgage-backed securities sold by a Bank of America unit.
Citigroup, another big Monday loser, was up 10.9 per cent.
Bond prices were slightly lower. The yield on the 10-year Treasury rose to 2.38 per cent from 2.34 per cent late Monday, while that on the 30-year Treasury rose to 3.69 per cent from 3.66 per cent. Bond prices and yields move in opposite directions. | [

A visual introduction to the issues involved in the US federal budget and deficit.
Federal Budget 101 (PDF)
This guide is intended to provide an introduction to the fiscal challenges facing the country. It is designed to accompany an Options Workbook (below) that presents a series of options for reducing the federal budget deficit. In order to ensure that the information in this guide is as unbiased as possible, AmericaSpeaks has worked with a diverse National Advisory Committee to solicit comments and feedback.
Federal Budget Options Workbook (PDF)
This workbook is designed to provide a wide array of revenue and spending options for reducing the federal budget deficit. These options represent the types of decisions facing policy makers and their implications for the American people, although they surely do not encompass all of the options that policymakers could consider. Participants in the national discussion will have the opportunity to add additional options as part of the process.
Plans for debt reduction:
With conflicting ideological arguments and new proposals for debt reduction surfacing regularly, it’s hard to know where to begin to really understand these issues. Several individuals and committees have released proposals with ideas for achieving long-term deficit reduction.
Bipartisan Commission for Fiscal Responsibility and Reform’s “Moment of Truth” Plan
President Obama formed a Fiscal Commission to produce a series of recommendations for debt reduction. If the plan receives approval from 14 or more Commission members, these recommendations will be presented to Congress. In this report, Commission members challenge our political system and the American people to confront the difficult trade-offs required to address our nation’s long-term deficits. Debt-reduction suggestions include cuts to discretionary spending, tax reforms including broadening bases and cutting rates, measures to curb rising health care costs, and reforms to Social Security.
Bipartisan Policy Center’s debt reduction plan
A bipartisan task force chaired by former Senate Budget Committee Chairman Pete Domenici and former White House Budget Director Alice Rivlin released this plan on November 17, 2010. Pete Domenici and Alice Rivlin both contributed to creating introductory materials for Our Budget, Our Economy, and Rivlin was present at the meeting in Philadelphia. The task force also includes three members of the Our Budget, Our Economy National Advisory Committee and one budget expert from the Philadelphia site.
Our Fiscal Security’s “Investing in America’s Economy”
Demos and the Century Foundation teamed up to create a budget blueprint that suggests debt-reduction measures to generate new jobs, invest in key areas, modernize and restore revenue base, and increase health care cost efficiency.
Peterson-Pew Commission on Budget Reform’s “Back in the Black”
This commission recommends reforms to the government’s budgeting process that will stabilize the debt at 60% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and lead to more transparent, responsible budgeting in the future. Currently, the short-term thinking in the federal budgeting process leads to long-term fiscal problems. To make the budgeting process more far-sighted, disciplined, and transparent, members of the Peterson-Pew Commission suggest a Sustainable Debt Act and increased levels of oversight. For example, under the Commission’s recommended policy changes, the President would report to Congress at the end of each year with an update about the budget’s effects and progress towards fiscal goals.
Other reports on the budget and economy
The following reports were released before the fall of 2010, when long-term debt and deficits were making fewer headlines.

Indeed the young Chinese first dreamt of this Youxia then he hired a team of 50 engineers to make it come true!
Power is announced at 362hp and the 0 to 100kph in 5.6 seconds, for the batteries Youxia is modeled on the Tesla’s electric sedan with three packs 40, 60 or 85kWh for a range of 220km, 330km, 459km.
Price starts at 290.000Yuans (€ 42,250) government grant excluded (90.000Yuans) up 390.000Yuans (€ 56,900), production is scheduled to begin in late 2016 for delivery in 2017!
About the resemblance on the outside, the grille is indeed glaring, like the front fenders and chrome insert but otherwise Youxia signs a rather original and nice looking vehicle.
For the interior the reminiscence is more obvious starting with the symbol on the steering wheel whose shape is very close to Tesla’s such as the large touch screen and overall design....
Another well-known vehicle inspired the Youxia X, K2000 or Knight Rider with a "holographic" screen in the grille that can display a number of logos according to your mood or even the famous KITT scrolling red line, to stay with K2000, the Youxia X can borrow the sound of the Ferrari of your dreams at the touch of a button! | [

Campaigners have won a planning permission which will bring back a historic machine to Bradford on Avon.
The Museum Society and Preservation Trust has been trying to secure the return of the Iron Duke – a rolling machine that Stephen Moulton started his rubber works with in the town in 1848 – for a number of years.
It has been in pieces at the Industrial Museum in Bristol since 1973, but will now be reassembled for public display near the old gate house in Kingston Road.
David Moss, the chairman of the Preservation Trust, said: “This is excellent news, as it now allows us to go ahead in sorting out details with Linden Homes and getting a foundation designed.”
Once the designs are complete, funding activities will take place.
It is expected the scheme will cost in the region of £50,000, but the fundraising started in 2010, when Dr Alex Moulton donated £10,000.
Mervyn Harris, the chairman of Bradford on Avon Museum Society, said: “The difficulty has been trying to find a site that is acceptable to all parties involved.
“It is an important part of Bradford on Avon and it should be sited near enough to where it was.
“I am delighted we can now move forward.”
The campaign to return the Iron Duke was originally proposed for Lamb Yard.
However, there were objections when some people said it should be kept as an open space, possibly for a market in the future.
The intention is to keep the machine in the open for the public to touch, but a layer of protective paint would have to be applied first. | [

Vertex Pharmaceuticals and the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation today announced positive results from an ongoing Phase 3 clinical trial of VX-770 for children age 6 to 11.
VX-770 is an oral drug in development that targets the underlying cause of cystic fibrosis.
Children who were on the drug showed a marked improvement in lung function through 24 weeks of a 48-week trial, compared to those who took the placebo.
The trial is designed to evaluate patients who carry at least one copy of a CF mutation called G551D and included 52 children.
Patients in the trial also showed improvements in secondary endpoints of the study, including weight gain and sweat chloride levels — areas critical to the health of people with CF.
VX-770 is being developed by Vertex Pharmaceuticals and was discovered in collaboration with the CF Foundation.
“The findings announced today are highly encouraging and reinforce the concept that we can significantly improve clinical outcomes for CF patients by repairing the defective protein that causes the disease,” said Robert J. Beall, Ph.D., president and CEO of the CF Foundation. “We are hopeful that by continuing on this path, we will ultimately have a profound impact on all who suffer from cystic fibrosis.”
The new data mirrors promising results announced in February 2011 of a Phase 3 trial of VX-770 in people with CF, ages 12 and older. In that trial, patients who received VX-770 showed marked improvements in lung function and other key clinical indicators of cystic fibrosis.
Vertex plans to submit a New Drug Application for VX-770 to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in the second half of 2011. Generally, the FDA takes between 6 and 12 months to review and rule on a drug application.
About 4 percent of people with CF carry the G551D mutation. More studies are needed to determine whether other CF mutations may benefit from VX-770.

alpha-Granules are essential to normal platelet activity. These unusual secretory granules derive their cargo from both regulated secretory and endocytotic pathways in megakaryocytes. Rare, inheritable defects of alpha-granule formation in mice and man have enabled identification of proteins that mediate cargo trafficking and alpha-granule formation. In platelets, alpha-granules fuse with the plasma membrane upon activation, releasing their cargo and increasing platelet surface area. The mechanisms that control alpha-granule membrane fusion have begun to be elucidated at the molecular level. SNAREs and SNARE accessory proteins that control alpha-granule secretion have been identified. Proteomic studies demonstrate that hundreds of bioactive proteins are released from alpha-granules. This breadth of proteins implies a versatile functionality. While initially known primarily for their participation in thrombosis and hemostasis, the role of alpha-granules in inflammation, atherosclerosis, antimicrobial host defense, wound healing, angiogenesis, and malignancy has become increasingly appreciated as the function of platelets in the pathophysiology of these processes has been defined. This review will consider the formation, release, and physiologic roles of alpha-granules with special emphasis on work performed over the last decade. | [

The RPC’s services for children and families in Champaign County continue to excel, according to a recent federal review of the county’s Head Start and Early Head Start program. The Focus Area Two monitoring review of the program conducted from May 2, 2022, through May 6, 2022, found that the program meets requirements of all applicable Head Start Performance Standards, laws, regulations, and policy requirements. The program is administered by the RPC’s Early Childhood Education division.
Conducted by the Administration for Children & Families’ (ACF) Office of Head Start (OHS), the review determined that the program ensures RPC staff continue to receive supervision and support to enhance services available to children and families in Champaign County. During regular meetings with staff, the program’s supervisors used a reflective supervision model to offer guidance, assess individual goals progress, identify improvement areas, and determine training needs.
The OHS also credited the RPC’s program for strengthening staff skills and knowledge by providing training on trauma-informed practices, ERSEA – Eligibility, Selection, Enrollment, and Attendance – standards for accurate child and family enrollment, and a social-emotional curriculum to help decrease challenging behaviors. Ongoing feedback and training gave staff members the tools to provide responsive services to children and families.
“I want to thank the employees, the Policy Council members, the RPC Governing Body members, and the County Executive for their participation, dedication, and support during this federal monitoring review,” says Brandi Granse, the RPC’s Early Childhood Division Director. “I am so proud of our program and the services we provide to the children and families within Champaign County. I can’t thank everyone in our program enough for their dedication to our community.”
The OHS pinpointed several other areas of excellence within the RPC’s programs, including:
Education and Services
- Data analysis efforts helped the RPC design services that promoted children’s progress toward school readiness.
- The program assisted education staff in using data to individualize learning experiences to improve outcomes for all children.
- The RPC supported the emotional well-being of children and families by contracting with a mental health consultant who was assisted by the program’s social skills and prevention coaches.
- By pairing staff and family support with professional development opportunities, the program promoted positive social-emotional outcomes for children.
Family and Community Engagement Services
- The RPC offered opportunities for families to strengthen their parenting skills by implementing a research-based parenting curriculum and offering a virtual parenting group.
- Family engagement practices helped parents develop leadership skills, establish support networks, and build confidence as their children’s first teachers.
- The RPC collaborated with its governing bodies to develop a budget responsive to program goals and objectives.
- The RPC ensured funds were allocated to support quality improvement strategies, resulting in responsive services for children and families.
Eligibility, Selection, Enrollment, and Attendance (ERSEA)
- The RPC provided annual training to ensure staff members adhered to ERSEA policies and procedures.
- Once children and expectant families were enrolled in the program, RPC staff tracked attendance and supported families experiencing barriers to regular participation, helping ensure the enrollment and participation of eligible children.
“We are so appreciative of the ACF’s findings and the hard work our staff did to prepare for the review,” Granse concludes. “The review reinforces our commitment to Champaign County and the children and families in our care. Excellence in our services is always a priority, and we are determined to continue making this community a safe and educational one for the children whose lives we are influencing.” | [

Good for sunset
Published/Last edited or updated: 17th April, 2016
While Bima is a shadow of the port and trading centre it once was, it is still nevertheless active, hosting both the Pelni long-range ferries and a small freight trade (the container "terminal" is to your left as you ride in). If you arrive in the late afternoon, weather permitting, you’ll have the sun setting on the far side of the waters and the impressive pinisis lined up against it.
An ojek from Bima to the port shouldn’t cost more than 5,000 rupiah, or you can walk it in about 30-45 minutes, depending on your pace. If you go by ojek, ask them to wait as you may otherwise have a bit of a wait getting a ride back. When you get back to Bima, head straight to the night market!

He has lived in Thailand, Cambodia and Indonesia, where he worked as an under-paid, under-skilled language teacher, an embassy staffer, a newspaper web-site developer, freelancing and various other stuff. His favourite read is The Art of Travel by Alain de Botton.
These tours are provided by Travelfish partner GetYourGuide.

Bumble bans ghosting, which means users can now report offenders, strengthening their dedication to kindness and respect. Let’s explore the specifics of this game-changing move.
Respectful Dating: Bumble Bans Ghosting
Bumble, the popular dating platform, has taken a decisive step against ghosting, urging its millions of users to report instances of this behavior during in-person dates. This move makes Bumble the first dating app to address the issue directly.
The updated guidelines aim to discourage the act of not showing up for an in-person meeting, even after clear plans have been agreed upon by both parties. Individuals who have been stood up can now utilize the in-app reporting feature to report such offenders. A moderator will then verify the claim before taking any action.
Ghosting will now be categorized as bullying and abusive conduct due to its potential profound impact on an individual’s mental health. Offenders may face bans from the platform.
Whitney Wolfe Herd, the founder and CEO of Bumble Inc., emphasized the company’s commitment to creating authentic connections rooted in kindness and respect. She stated that the stringent and granular Community Guidelines reinforce what is expected of members both on and off the app. The guidelines also align with Bumble’s policies of transparency, equity, intersectionality, and trauma-informed approaches.
However, Bumble will only take action against ghosting when a person fails to show up for an agreed-upon date. It will not penalize someone who simply stops contacting a match or never confirms an in-person meeting.
Previously, Bumble had characterized ghosting as “the imperfect nature of dating,” advising users to view it as an opportunity to find someone better for them if someone suddenly stopped messaging them.
Now, the revised rules make it clear that no-showing for an in-person meet-up is a violation of the app’s community guidelines. This specifically pertains to situations where both parties have agreed on clear plans, but one person fails to make contact before or after the date to explain their absence.
Bumble is also taking a stand against doxxing and victim-blaming, categorizing these behaviors as bullying and abusive conduct. Additionally, the app now prohibits the use of artificial intelligence for matching with users or engaging in conversations with matches.
In the wake of the ChatGPT’s popularity over the past year, as users have turned to the smart chatbot for matchmaking, Bumble emphasizes the importance of fostering a community based on genuine connections.
The guidelines strictly forbid attempts to artificially influence connections, matching, conversations, or engagement through automation or scripting.
Bumble’s proactive approach to addressing ghosting and other forms of abusive conduct reflects its dedication to creating a safe and inclusive dating experience for its users, while also reinforcing the values of kindness and respect within its community.

Lil Wayne and Drake's "Family Feud" freestyle unsurprisingly rockets to #1 to start the new year.
Some things change year to year, some remain the same. For instance, the inaugural weekly top ten of 2018 features upstart names like Tekashi69 and 300lbs of Guwop, but also industry stalwarts Lil Wayne and Drake. Both of the Young Money mavens may have lost a bit of their star power in the past couple of years (or in Wayne's case, the past decade) but when Weezy drops a new project, the majority of the world still seems to pay attention. Thus is the case with Dedication 6 and its outtake, "Family Feud."
Befitting their position at the top, Wayne and Drake are also the only two artists with multiple appearances on this week's list. New tracks barely missing out on spots include FBG Wookie and Future's "All My Dogs Kings" (#11), Kodak Black's "Here It Is" (#12), Reese LaFlare and PartyNextDoor's "They Don't" (#13), and Skillz's "2017 Rap Up" (#14).
10. 24hrs Feat. Blackbear - Regina George
2017 proved to be a breakout year for both 24hrs and Blackbear, both of whom have very different styles, but found their respective niches on Soundcloud. "Regina George," their ode to Mean Girls' antagonist, debuts at #10.
9. 300lbs of Guwop Feat. Lil Wayne - Teefus (Remix)
Oddly-named duo 300lbs of Guwop have a bubbling hit on their hands with "Teefus," and nothing illustrates its popularity like Lil Wayne hopping on for a remix. The version of the track bearing his verse debuts at #9.
8. Travis Scott Feat. Yung Lean - Wasted (Demo)
Yung Lean recently made a cameo on Travis Scott and Quavo's Huncho Jack, Jack Huncho, but apparently their artistics connection stretches back a little further. Last week, a demo of "Wasted," a track from Travis' 2015 album Rodeo, surfaced with a previously-unheard appearance by the Yung Swede. This demo debuts at #8.
7. Bruno Mars Feat. Cardi B - Finesse (Remix)
A clear indicator of Cardi B's bankability at this point in time is her inclusion on the latest single from Bruno Mars' 24K Magic, one of the most successful pop albums of the last ten years. Bardi lends a verse to the New Jack Swing throwback, "Finesse," which makes its debut at #7.
6. Justin Timberlake - Filthy
Many speculated that the recent-unveiled trailer and title for Justin Timberlake's upcoming album, Man of the Woods, would herald a shift to a more rootsy, country-influenced sound, but as far as the album's lead single goes, that's definitely not the case. The Timbaland-produced "Filthy" debuts at #6.
5. Trouble & Drake - Bring It Back
Drake laid dormant for most of 2017's second half, but two week ago, he returned with a pair of features. Of those, this assist to a Trouble and Mike Will Made It track was the most surprising. The resulting song, "Bring It Back," holds steady at #5 in its second week out.
4. Lil Uzi Vert, TM88 & Southside - Mood
The last time TM88 and Lil Uzi Vert linked up, we got "XO Tour Life," one of 2017's biggest hits. "Mood" doesn't initially seem like it could eclipse that song's success (what could?), but it is an indisputable banger. This one debuts at #4.
3. Tekashi69 Feat. Fetty Wap & A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie - KEKE
Accused child molester Tekashi69 hasn't seen his career hurt at all by the allegations against him, and that continues to be the case on "KEKE," his latest track. This one finds him linking up with more established NY-area artists Fetty Wap and A Boogie, and in its second week out, "KEKE" remains at #3.
2. Kendrick Lamar Feat. SZA - All The Stars
Marvel's upcoming Black Panther movie has already prominently featured music by Vince Staples and Run The Jewels in its trailers, so it comes as no surprise that its soundtrack is set to feature new material by some of rap's biggest stars. This one's a TDE victory lap by the label's two most | [

The evolution properties and the spectral degree of coherence of a partially coherent multi-Gaussian Schell-model vortex (MGSMv) beam propagating in uniaxial crystals orthogonal to the optical axis are studied. Propagation expression for the cross-spectral density and the average intensity of the partially coherent MGSMv beam propagating in uniaxial crystals are derived. Some analyses are illustrated by numerical examples related to the propagation properties and coherence vortices of the partially coherent MGSMv beam in uniaxial crystals. Numerical results show that, upon propagating in uniaxial crystals, the partially coherent MGSMv beam loses its initial dark center distribution. After propagating for sufficient distances, the partially coherent MGSMv beam will also evolve into a flat-topped beam. The evolution behavior of average intensity and coherent vortices depends on the crystal including the ratio of extraordinary and ordinary refractive indices, and beam parameters including the spatial correlation length and topological charge of the beams, as well as the propagation distance.
Since 2001, we have started to do some works on how to approach to virtual observatory in Yunnan Observatory. We have finished a prototype distributed controller of CCD camera, we have established a search engine for 2MASS database, and we have finished a prototype system of data archiving, browsing, searching for H-alpha image data of the sun, etc. Based on these efforts, we are trying to use up-to-date IT technologies to unite all these efforts, and integrate both astronomical database and astronomical instruments into a Virtual Observatory. | [

The GP911 series analog gaging probes utilize proven LVDT technology to provide excellent linearity and repeatability in a compact, reliable unit. All analog probe heads carry a NEMA 12 (IP65) environmental rating which makes them suitable for use in harsh industrial environments.
In an analog gage probe, two small transformers share a common magnetic core. As the core moves, the output of one transformer increases and the other decreases. The out-of-balance current provides the measure of the core’s position. LVDT’s operate on an ac energizing voltage and require special signal conditioning.
SPECIFICATIONS Excitation Voltage: 1 to 10 volts rms Excitation Frequency: 2 to 20 kHz Linearity: 0.5% rdg or 0.1% FS, whichever is greater Repeatability: 0.15 microns Calibration Voltage: 3 Vrms Calibration Frequency: 5 kHz Calibration Load: 10 kΩ Storage Temp.: -40 to 100°C (-40 to 212°F) Operating Temp.: -10 to 80°C (14 to 176°F) Temp.

What can we learn from new trends in the construction sector
The European construction sector is crucial to the European economy as it provides 18 million direct jobs and contributes to about 9% of the EU's GDP. Furthermore, drives economic growth and offers solutions for social, climate and energy challenges, thus contributing to sustainability.
We will ask advanced contractors about their latest developments and their expectations from suppliers, what new tools engineers and architects are using for design, and how our industry can embrace this new potential to tackle the sector’s main challenges and bring multiple benefits along the entire value chain, as well as for Europe and its citizens.
By inviting practitioners who develop new solutions along the value chain, The Concrete Initiative wants to provide EU stakeholders with an overview of the new construction products market conditions in which cement and concrete producers and users will operate in the years to come.
Date: 6 February, 10:00 - 13:00
Registration: r.cracea @cembureau.eu

The Tropical Research and Conservation Centre is teaching a marine conservatation course for divers on Pom Pom island. This is a 6 day 5 night course staying at a heavily discounted rate at a resort on a beautiful tropical island. This couse will be at the start of the turtle nesting season and should enable us to see turtle mating as well as nesting and egg layig. We will visit marine protected areas and experience some of the conservation efforts that are being used to help coral reefs, seagrass and mangroves.

The rural-urban dichotomy is one of the most influential figures of thought in history, laying the foundation for academic disciplines such as rural and urban sociology. The dichotomy rests on the assumption that rural and urban areas differ fundamentally. By the mid-twentieth century, scholars had observed that many rural areas displayed a blend of rural and urban features. Since then, counterurbanisation, urban sprawl and ever-increasing flows of people, goods and ideas between rural and urban areas have blurred the distinctions even further.
Attempts to create new rural-urban classification systems, whether based on factors such as population size, density or distances, have largely failed. Clearly, new classification systems must use the meaning of observed changes in rural-urban systems as their point of departure rather than simple measurements of these changes. These meanings can, despite the interdependencies of our global world, be explored only in their political, cultural and economic settings.
What characterises exurban development in Germany, or in a post-communist Eastern European "exurbanised" village? How do farmers and rural residents in Europe, Australia and the USA see themselves and others in a rapidly changing world? These are but some of the questions that this volume endeavors to answer, in an effort to shed new light on rural-urban relations, their changes and how we should interpret these changes.

ConsolidatorTM, the all-new enterprise grade Network Management System, amassed tremendous interest at the show. Consolidator provides centralized access to all data and visibility to key fault and performance information from up to a thousand Pixelmetrix probes distributed through out the network. Tracking all parameters in real time through a combination of push notifications and information pull mechanisms, the Consolidator facilitates faster fault resolution, hence, improving QoS.
Customers and partners were shown the simple yet comprehensive features of Pixelmetrix Consolidator:
- Flexible screens with configurable elements
- Role-specific views to monitor information
- Aggregate network health information from different points
Drill down capability to move from an overall network view to an isolated focus on a single monitoring point
By combining data from different monitoring points within the network, the Consolidator can aggregate view for display on a video wall. It can also customize views for different teams – a monitoring view for operators, a simple dashboard for management, and full diagnostics and troubleshooting for engineers. With configurable representation of monitored data, operators can conclude and resolve issues promptly. This translates into minimizing truck rolls, resulting in reduced OPEX and lower maintenance costs.
Furthermore, the SNMP interface of the Consolidator enables the system to be integrated with any Pixelmetrix equipment. Its open standards based architecture means that it can also be expanded to provide control and monitoring of virtually any modern broadcast, telecom or IT equipment. | [

Sembmarine in $1 billion Culzean scoop
- Business & Finance
Singapore’s Sembcorp Marine has won a $1 billion contract from Maersk Oil to build offshore facilities for the Monday-approved Culzean field in the UK North Sea.
Under the agreement SMOE Pte Ltd, a Sembcorp Marine subsidiary, will build the Central Processing Facility plus 2 connecting bridges, Wellhead Platform and Utilities & Living Quarters Platform Topsides for the Culzean Field Development.
The facility will be installed at a water depth of some 90 meters in UK sector of the Central North Sea.
SMOE will provide engineering, procurement, construction and onshore pre-commissioning services while detailed engineering work will be performed by a subcontracting partner. The facility will be located in the Culzean field situated 145 miles East of Aberdeen. The project is a high pressure, high temperature (HP/HT) gas condensate development.
The Sembcorp Marine Admiralty Yard in Singapore will be the core fabrication yard for the project, while the Sembmarine SLP yard in Lowestoft, UK will undertake the work scope for a power generation module, two bridges and a flare.
Culzean gas field is expected to be capable of providing around 5% of the UK’s total gas consumption by 2020/21.
Ho Nee Sin, Sembcorp Marine’s Executive Vice-President and Head of Offshore Platforms said: “We are pleased to secure this mega contract despite stiff competition from world class yards. This is another prestigious North Sea project undertaken by the company where we will work closely with our UK subsidiary Sembmarine SLP as a team.” | [

Somehow, amidst its position on the forefront of groundbreaking research in astronautics, resource development, thermodynamics, material science, geoscience, and damn near every category of science under the sun (or microscope), NASA has somehow managed to retain that life-enhancing sense of humor familiar only to those acquainted with the “nerdy” side of life. NASA, ye fountain of human ingenuity, I applaud thee for reminding us, that a cranny of humor can be found in all things, including perilous missions into space.
The six astronaut featured in the exquisite image below are part of NASA’s Expedition 45, destined to rendezvous aboard the International Space Station this upcoming September, when a Soyuz shuttle ferries the remaining four astronauts aboard (two are already aboard). In preparation for their reunion, the six astronauts — one Japanese, two American, and three Russian — donned their most famous Star Wars cosplay attire, completing the ensemble with six lightsabers.
Okay, maybe the lightsabers were photoshopped into the image, or maybe they weren’t; there’s a high probability that the sabers were actually tangible, if the robes themselves are real.
Clockwise, from the bottom left to right, the astronauts are: Flight Engineers Kjell Lindgren, Kimiya Yui, Oleg Kononenko, Sergey Volkov, Mikhail Kornienko, and Commander Scott Kelly.
Other sci-fi related NASA posters include Expedition XXI’s take on Star Trek.
And Expedition 42’s rendition of the Hitchhiker’s Guide to Galaxy movie poster.

Tethers Unlimited Inc’s (TUI) Firmamentum division have announced a collaboration with Space Systems Loral (SSL) that will allow them to demonstrate their on-orbit manufacturing technology, specifically for building kilometer scale space systems. As part of the Dragonfly program, Firmamentum hardware will be used to assemble a geostationary communication satellite, the type that are normally in charge of bouncing radio frequencies back to Earth. This program is being funded by NASA as part of their initiative to develop collaborations with industry in order to advance human and robotic space exploration.
Firmamentum plan to test their Trusselator technology, a proprietary carbon composite additive manufacturing device that works best in micro gravity environment. In essence, it’s a machine that uses 3D printing techniques and robotic assembly to fabricate long truss structures. According to Dr. Robert Hoyt, TUI CEO and Chief Scientist, The long term vision is to launch a “satellite chrysalis” containing all the raw materials necessary to build in space, rather rather than subject the delicate and highly engineered hardware to the “10 minutes of assault and battery” that typically occur during launch.
“The evolution of next generation communications satellites and space systems depends on dramatic advances in technology and manufacturing processes,” said Dr. Matteo Genna, Chief Technology Officer of SSL. “Firmamentum plays a key role on the Dragonfly team and enables us to demonstrate the importance of in-space manufacturing, which we expect will be a significant capability for future missions.”
Go big in Space
This project is part of the wider goal of TUI to create series of fabrication devices that enable on-orbit fabrication called SpiderFab. The project could help build immense structures in space such as massive solar arrays, large solar sails and football-field sized antennas to improve communications on Earth.
According to TUI, the primary benefit of this on-orbit fabrication is the improved packing efficiency and system mass, which basically means that NASA, or the particular space agency or private enterprise using the technology, can save trips to space by launching highly concentrated fabrication material instead of built on earth structures that have to be deployed in space.
3D printing is revolutionizing the notion of what we can do in space. Not only is 3D printing assisting NASA in getting people to space, it’s also making the idea of space exploration more feasible by allowing us to depend less on Earth for the manufacturing of objects and structures. With mounting anticipation that humans might explore Mars in the (relatively) near future, technology that allows practical manufacturing solutions in non-Earth-like environments (read, no gravity) becomes increasingly relevant.
