Toiling with the earth and fighting a year-long battle against nature, farmers hope for high yields from the perfect crop. Even though the farmer knows that nature will always win (for she has an arsenal at her disposal), the farmer seeks to control that which cannot be contained. Untameable, nature arbitrarily sends drought, flood, ice, and weeds. One such challenge is the feral stinging nettle plant.
Carried by the wind, the seed settles in the farmer’s fields. The misery of the plant is hidden on the underside of its heart-shaped leaf where there are tiny hairs that will bite you with an irritating sting. Even so, arms at the ready, workers set out to eradicate the plant from their fields.
However, the nettle is more than an unruly nuisance to be yanked out by its roots and tossed into the fire. Surprisingly, the leafy green herbaceous contains a whopping 25% protein and a slew of nutritional vitamins and minerals.
Just like the farmers, we toil for perfection; although, our crop is the perfect life. Convinced of our omnipotence, we make plans as if we are the masters of our lives. Oblivious to the reality that nature cannot be controlled, life is not perfect, and troubles will come into our lives, our plans are ill-conceived. Therefore, it is not surprising that we are dismayed when stinging nettles blow into our neat schemes. And, with the strategy of a general, we raise our banner of war against the unwelcome intruder.
Most Americans strive to live a life free from all difficulties. We dream of attaining the perfect life — which is nothing more than a life of ease. How many of us want to be the occupants of an Adirondack chair nestled at the edge of the Mediterranean Sea? Or, maybe, we prefer a cabin in the woods overlooking a calm lake with no one else in sight.
Whatever form our perfect life takes, it does not include tribulations. When they come, we are quick to beg God to remove them. Maybe we become angry and lament, “Why me?” Most often, we are slaves to our delusion that bad things only happen to other people. But, they don’t. Stinging nettles settle into our lives and illness, disease, accidents, and pain disrupt our lives.
Chronic illness cannot be eradicated. There is no miracle cure. We, who suffer from chronic heart-stinging nettles, learn that we cannot wage a war against that which cannot be controlled. Eventually, we take a different approach: we consume the plant before it consumes us. Having fought the war for years, we evolve into warriors with the ability to be nourished by the nettles.
Please don’t misunderstand me. I am not saying that suffering is good. What I am saying is that we can turn our lives around when they have been turned upside down. As much as we want our chronic illness, our pain, our depression, or our anxiety to disappear, we are not masters of nature.
By devouring our chronic illness, we develop patience. From our patience springs wisdom. We see differently, feel differently, and understand differently. Living with a chronic disease teaches us hard lessons. Every day is a new challenge, and we continue to learn how to live with our disability. We may not be able to do much (if any) physical exercise, but we strengthen our minds by taking our thoughts captive.
Fueled by our decision to devour the weeds in our life, the stinging nettle provides us with insight, sensitivity, and tenderness. Our ability to comfort others is intensified. Our purity of heart shines through our words and deeds.
Our disAbility has given us the ability to live beyond our disability. | [

SAN FRANCISCO — Clinicians can safely prescribe off-label medications in intensive care units (ICUs), a new study suggests.
"Using a medication off-label does not put a patient at greater risk of adverse drug reactions," said Pamela Smithburger, PharmD, assistant professor of pharmacy and therapeutics at the University of Pittsburgh.
Dr. Smithburger presented the findings here at the Society of Critical Care Medicine 43rd Critical Care Congress.
Clinicians in the United States often prescribe medications for purposes other than those approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The practice has raised concerns because off-label uses frequently have not undergone careful scrutiny.
Intensive care patients can be at particular risk for adverse reactions because of the complexity of their conditions and medication regimens, explained Dr. Smithburger. In fact, more patients in the ICU than in other hospital units experience life-threatening adverse events (26% vs 11%), she explained.
To see whether off-label prescriptions are harming patients, Dr. Smithburger and her team reviewed all medications being taken by adults admitted to ICUs at 2 academic medical centers on admittance and every 24 hours afterward for a period of 3 months. They classified the uses as either approved by the FDA or unapproved.
All adverse drug reactions were recorded and evaluated using 3 separate adverse drug reaction causality instruments — the Kramer algorithm (JAMA. 1979;242:623-632), the Naranjo criteria (Clin Pharmacol Ther. 1981;30:239-245), and the Jones algorithm (J Rheumatol Suppl. 1988;17:14-19).
Researchers then categorized the severity of the adverse reactions using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events. Grade 3 to 5 events were considered severe or life threatening. They also assigned a MEDMARX classification of harm or no harm.
Of the 13,580 medications prescribed over 950 patient days, 5639 (41.5%) were used off label. Of the off-label prescriptions, the researchers categorized 132 as not indicated for the patient population, 4662 as not indicated for the condition, 662 as not indicated for the dose, and 180 as not indicated for the route of administration.
Of the 107 adverse drug reactions identified, "you could confidently say that the majority of them were due to 1 particular drug," rather than interactions of multiple drugs, Dr. Smithburger noted.
The patients suffered adverse reactions at a rate of 0.67% for FDA-approved uses and 0.73% for off-label uses; the difference was not statistically significant (P =.38).
There was also no significant difference in adverse reactions classified as severe or life threatening between FDA-approved and off-label uses (17 vs 19; P = 1.0). And there was no significant difference in adverse reactions with a MEDMARX classification of harm between FDA-approved and off-label uses (31 vs 28; P =.26).
Opioids and sedatives accounted for 25% of these adverse reactions.
The adverse events ranged widely, from delirium, hypotension, and tachycardia to diarrhea, rash, and nausea.
Session moderator Joshua Roberts, PharmD, senior clinical pharmacist at the University of California, Davis, who was not involved in the study, told Medscape Medical News that he agrees with the study conclusions.
"I think it validates what everyone does on a day-to-day basis," he said.
But, he added, further research is needed. "I think, as the study researchers said very astutely, there should be a lot more study and evaluation," said Dr. Roberts. In particular, he would like to know whether findings would be similar in a study conducted in a small community setting.
This study was supported by an award from the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists. Dr. Smithburger and Dr. Roberts have disclosed no relevant financial interests.

Nerve root disruption is a primary cause of headaches with a structural basis including spinal imbalances and tense muscles at the base of the neck. Head pain can include moderate to severe symptoms accompanied by fatigue, dizziness, and nausea. A failure to relieve the condition with conventional therapy and rest requires an alternative approach adopted by an Anoka MN chiropractor.
A primary form of care for headaches includes pain medication, but these products are temporary and contain various chemical compounds known to interfere with healthy function. Many people suffering from frequent head pain rely heavily on the use of prescription drugs affecting natural bodily resources and compromising healing. Alternative chiropractic therapy assists by providing non-invasive and drug-free therapy to relieve headache pain.
Research reveals the connection between spinal misalignment and headaches as imbalance agitates the surrounding healthy nerves. The nerve irritation caused by misaligned vertebrae place abnormal amounts of pressure on the roots in the upper cervical spine. It contributes to disrupted nervous system function and severe discomfort including the experience of head pain.
A migraine and headache problems can be relieved with spinal adjustments. Where injuries, bad posture, and abnormalities have caused misaligned, the structural fault must be corrected for healthy and symptom-free function. A chiropractor can apply gentle adjustments to re-position affected vertebrae and remove much of the strain placed on the nerve fibers.
Adjustments relieve spinal imbalances, but further, reduce muscle tension responsible for nerve irritation. Therapy aims to facilitate mobilization and support balanced function by relieving muscle and spinal abnormalities. A physical examination general health and the condition of physical components can detect underlying musculoskeletal irritation responsible for head pain.
Chiropractic therapy offers natural care to help headache sufferers find relief naturally. Structural contributors of symptoms will not improve with medication alone and instead cause additional complications by deteriorating physical resources for healing. Learning about the alternative options available can support healthy operation and improve general well-being that is compromised by continuous head pain.
Chiropractic care alleviates migraine headache, shoulder, back, knee, and shin pain naturally and effectively. Click here for more info about an experienced Anoka MN chiropractor at http://www.DesiredHealthChiro.com right now. | [

Completing College – State – 2013
In the state supplement to our fourth Signature Report, a national study on college completion, we take a state-by-state look at the various pathways that students take to complete a college degree or certificate.
Among the study’s findings:
- Nationally, 12 percent of students who started at four-year public institutions completed at an institution other than the starting institution. In 20 states, students who started at four-year public institutions had a higher completion rate at another institution with Minnesota having the highest rate at 27 percent.
- 3.2 percent of all students who started at a four-year public institution received their first degree/certificate at a two-year institution. The rate was over 5 percent in Minnesota, North Dakota, and Wisconsin. Conversely, 9.4 percent of all students who started at a two-year public institution received their first credential at a four-year institution. In seven states, more than 10 percent did so with the highest being 13.8 percent.
- In eight states, more than one in six students who started at a two-year public institution completed at a four-year institution within six years with or without receiving a credential at a two-year institution (compared to 15 percent nationally). Virginia had the highest rate, with one in five students who started at a two-year public graduating from a four-year institution.
- In nine states, more than 10 percent of students who started at a four-year public institution and received a degree ended up graduating in a different state (compared to 6 percent nationally). The rate was much higher in Alaska (28 percent) and North Dakota (20 percent).
- In three states, more than 10 percent of students who started at a two-year public institution and later graduated did so in a different state (compared to 5.6 percent nationally).
- In 14 states and in the District of Columbia, over 10 percent of the students who started at a four-year private nonprofit institution and received a credential did so in a different state (compared to 8.8 percent nationally).
- In nearly every state, traditional-age students starting at four-year public institutions had higher six-year completion rates than adult learners. The smallest gap was in Arizona (1 percentage point) and the highest in Vermont (42 percentage points).
- In 13 states, over 75 percent of the exclusively part-time students at four-year public institutions had not received a credential and were not enrolled at the end of six years (compared to 70 percent nationally).
The Signature Report State Supplement includes detailed tables, providing a state-by-state overview of college completion outcomes within the four-year public, two-year public, and four-year private nonprofit sectors.

“I don’t think it is the right place at all”: Anchorage residents react to city’s plan for homeless shelters
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTUU) - After weeks of criticism, the Anchorage Assembly is moving forward with buying four Anchorage buildings for homeless and treatment services.
Some homeowners say their voices weren’t heard and the process was rushed.
The Anchorage Assembly passed AO 2020-66(S), an ordinance that allows the municipality to spend $22.5 million to buy and renovate properties to help address the homlessness problem in Anchorage. $12.5 million in CARES Act funds would be used and $10 million would come from the sale of ML&P to fund the purchase of the Golden Lion Inn.
The ordinance authorizes the Municipality to pursue the purchase of four properties:
- The Alaska Club building (630 East Tudor Road) is the proposed location for a midtown shelter with a day engagement center for the unsheltered population.
- America’s Best Value Inn (4360 Spenard Road) is the proposed location for use as transitional and permanent supportive housing with a resource center.
- The Bean’s Café building (1101 E. 3rd 11 Avenue) is being used for meal preparation and distribution, and is the proposed location for a downtown day engagement center to provide services to the unsheltered homeless population in that area, along with the clients at the Brother Francis Shelter.
- The Golden Lion Hotel (1000 East 36th Avenue) is the proposed location for a substance use disorder treatment center for all seeking care.
Eric Connick, the general manager of Lithia Kia says he is supportive of the mission, but wasn’t given the opportunity to weigh-in on the ordinance until two weeks ago.
He says he’s worried about how the process was handled and should’ve been a plan that the community voted on.
“I don’t think it is the right place at all, I don’t know what the right place is, I think the public should help and figure that out, not only do we have small businesses, homes and traffic, we also have a small school right across the street,” Connick said.
Tiffany Spencer and her partner just bought a home next to the former Alaska Club location and say they were told last minute about the plan.
Spencer says local leaders haven’t told them what the plan is for the building and they are worried about their safety.
“As you can see the building is right behind our house, we have a six-week old, it’s just been more added stress than what we already have, just the idea of not knowing who is going to be living next to us, not knowing who is going to be our neighbors, not knowing if the safety of our family is going to be at risk, that’s the main part of it, it is why I was not for it,” she said.
The Assembly has said it rushed the process because the CARES Act money will expire on December 31, 2020.

If you are like most people in America, you are now practicing social distancing to keep you and your loved ones and other people in your community safe from contracting COVID-19. However, it’s important to remember that social distancing is not the same thing as social isolation. At the same time, feeling lonely and anxious when you need to remain isolated is a very normal reaction.
World Health Organization Recommendations
According to the World Health Organization, if you are under quarantine staying or staying home as instructed by government officials, you should try to keep up your personal daily routines. WHO recommends that you pay attention to your own needs and feelings and engage in healthy activities that you enjoy and find relaxing, to exercise regularly, keep regular sleep routines, and eat healthy foods.
It is recommended that people seek out COVID-19 updates and practical guidance from health professionals and the WHO website.
While staying home, there are many things you can do keep active and mentally stimulated. Here are just a few suggestions:
- Stay in touch with friends and family through technology – video conference, play online games, or post cute animal photos on Facebook and Instagram
- Haven’t been to Broadway in a while? Stream shows for free at insider.com
- Upcoming new movies are either already available (or will be soon) on demand instead of opening in theaters – they will be released for purchase. Learn more by contacting your cable provider, streaming services, and at ET Live
- Tackle a DIY project, trying a new recipe, or spring-cleaning
- Become an armchair scholar, traveler, private detective – or anything else!
- Spend quality time with your pet
Whatever you choose to do, know that you are contributing to the health and well-being of yourself, and everyone else in our country and world.

In physics, a surface wave is a wave that is guided along the interface between two different media for a mechanical wave, or by a refractive index gradient for an electromagnetic wave. An example is the waves at the surface of water, ocean surface waves.
1. A gravity wave formed on the free surface of a fluid. In classical hydrodynamics, to distinguish surface waves from tidal waves, the condition is imposed that vertical accelerations are not negligible. Dynamically, this wave is similar to that on an interface separating two fluids, becoming identical in the case of zero density in the upper fluid. 2. See ground wave. 3. A wave at the interface of a light and a much heavier fluid, in particular of the air–sea interface. See surface gravity wave.
In physics, a surface wave can refer to a mechanical wave that propagates along the interface between differing media, usually two fluids with different densities. A surface wave can also be an electromagnetic wave guided by a refractive index gradient. In radio transmission, a ground wave is a surface wave that propagates close to the surface of the Earth. | [

Editorial for the Topical Issue “Thermal analysis and calorimetry techniques applied to the characterization of materials and fluids for energy”
IFP Energies nouvelles, Applied Physical Chemistry and Mechanics Division, 1 et 4, Avenue de Bois-Préau, 92852 Rueil-Malmaison, France
* Corresponding author: [email protected]
Accepted: 11 July 2019
From May 29 to June 1, 2017, IFP Energies nouvelles has organized the “JCAT48”, Calorimetry and Thermal Analysis Days, under the auspices of the French Association of Calorimetry and Thermal Analysis (AFCAT).
Calorimetry and thermal analysis are universally recognized techniques for the characterization of fluids and materials in Chemistry, Physics and Biology. They make it possible to have access to the evolution of matter with time, temperature or pressure.
The key topic for this new edition was “thermal analysis and calorimetry techniques applied to the characterization of materials and fluids for energy”.
Progress in the characterization of these systems is a major challenge for the development of new processes that will ensure the energy transition. The techniques of thermal analysis and calorimetry, which can be easily coupled with many other characterization techniques, are a powerful tool for accessing the physicochemical, thermophysical, thermodynamic and chemical kinetics properties of various systems.
Among the main fluids of interest, mention can be made of petroleum products (oil, gas, fuels), those resulting from the conversion of biomass (bio-oils and biofuels), as well as colloidal systems (emulsions, microemulsions, hydrate suspensions, etc.).
The materials concerned are catalysts, zeolites, MOFs, adsorbents, native biomass, rocks, amorphous and semi-crystalline polymers, composites, organic deposits, etc.
Applications range from energy production and storage (thermal or chemical) to engine applications as to CO2 capture and storage.
In this special issue of the OGST journal, we have grouped together a few articles highlighting the importance of thermodynamic and physicochemical data acquisition in characterizing and predicting the behavior of complex systems of interest for new energy applications.
The first article entitled “Characterization of Complex Crude Oil Microemulsions-DSC Contribution” by presents how Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) can be used to provide information on the physico-chemical composition of complex microemulsions (water and oil content, salinity, etc.) and on their morphology (continuous phase, dispersed phase, etc.). This type of information is of prime importance to model the behavior of crude oil microemulsions formed during surfactant flooding, a chemical enhanced oil recovery (EOR) process which consists in injecting optimized formulations of surfactants in a reservoir in order to remobilize the residual oil trapped in the pores of the rock.
The next one, “DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry) used to follow the evolution of W/O emulsions versus time on ground and in space in the ISS” by gives some new insight on the evolution of W/O emulsions versus time in microgravity conditions. This study was performed in the framework of the FASES (Fundamental and Applied Studies on Emulsion Stability) project sponsored by the European Space Agency (ESA). The objective was to use calorimetry to investigate the stability of W/O emulsions under purely diffusive conditions (no gravity driven effects) and to compare it with the stability of similar emulsions observed on ground. For that purpose, two identical calorimeters were built by Airbus (formerly EADS) with the support of the French company SETARAM: The Flight Model (FM) located onboard the International Space Station (ISS) and the Engineering Model (EM) located at the TELESPAZIO Centre in Naples.
The article entitled “Excess/deviation properties of binary mixtures of 2,5-dimethylfuran with furfuryl alcohol, methyl isobutyl ketone, 1-butanol and 2-butanol at temperature range of (293.15–323.15) K” by gives some new thermodynamic properties of binary mixtures of fluids representative of new fuels derived from biomass. These thermodynamic properties were used to interpret the molecular interactions among the different liquid components. The values of excess/deviation functions have been fitted to Redlich-Kister type polynomial equation. From these results, a discussion was carried out in terms of nature of intermolecular interactions and structure factors in the binary mixtures.
Finally, the article “Differential Scanning Calorimetry contribution to a better understanding of the aging of gelled waxy crude oils” by concerns the characterization of the behavior of gelled waxy crude oils, which is a concern of prime importance for flow assurance during crude oil production. In this study, a set of rheological tests and calorimetric analysis were performed on a real waxy | [

Fixed-Final-Time Optimal Control of Nonlinear Systems with Terminal Constraints
A model-based reinforcement learning algorithm is developed in this paper for fixed-final-time optimal control of nonlinear systems with soft and hard terminal constraints. Convergence of the algorithm, for linear in the weights neural networks, is proved through a novel idea by showing that the training algorithm is a contraction mapping. Once trained, the developed neurocontroller is capable of solving this class of optimal control problems for different initial conditions, different final times, and different terminal constraint surfaces providing some mild conditions hold. Three examples are provided and the numerical results demonstrate the versatility and the potential of the developed technique.

If you’ve ever considered the best ways to keep your information secure, you’ve probably found that encryption is necessary. A majority of people naturally don’t know what this means. A smaller percentage of people are even less knowledgeable about its use. While you don’t have to know everything to safeguard your information online, having a basic understanding of important topics such as encryption is still helpful.
Many online stores have encryption strategies in place to protect their customers. However, using a no-cost VPN provides additional security by encrypting your data more and preventing identity theft.
What is data encryption?
It’s a process that transforms unencrypted human-readable data into encrypted information which can only be accessed by people who have the appropriate encryption key. In simple terms, encryption converts the data that is readable into a format that can only be decoded and read by those with the right password. It’s a crucial element in the digital revolution.
Also read: How to use VPN?
What is the process of data encryption? Function?
Cleartext, also known as plaintext, refers to information that doesn’t need to be protected by encryption. Plaintext data must be transmitted through encryption techniques that are mathematical operations performed on raw data. There are many encryption techniques, all with their application and security ratings.
In addition to the algorithms and encryption keys, an encryption key is also required. The plaintext transforms into an encrypted data piece, also called ciphertext. This is done using the specified key and the appropriate encryption technique. The encrypted ciphertext is transmitted via insecure methods of communication instead of the plaintext being sent to the recipient.
If the intended recipient can read the encrypted text, they can use a decryption tool to convert it back into plain text. This key for decryption could or might not be the same as the key used to decrypt the communication; it has to be kept confidential.
Common encryption algorithms
- Triple Des
Triple DES was designed to replace the Data Encryption Standard (DES) algorithm, which hackers could crack fairly easily.
The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is a type of cryptographic technique used by the US government and several other organizations and is regarded as a Gold Standard.
- RSA Security
RSA Security is a standard encryption method for data transmission on the internet. RSA public-key encryption technique.
This symmetric cypher divides the message into blocks of 64 bits and secures each block separately.
Data at Rest in contrast to. data that is in transit
Data in motion, also known as “data in motion, ” is information that is actively moving from one location to the next, for example, via the internet or on a private network.
Data at Rest refers to data not moving from one device to the next or between networks like information stored on an external hard drive, laptop or archived/stored differently.
End-to-end as opposed to. VPN encryption
End-to-end encryption (E2EE) for communication applications protects data from being heard, read or altered during the process. End-to-end encryption isn’t accessible on all messaging services. No matter which messaging application you are using, VPNs all have encryption options to ensure privacy and security.
To secure data from end to end, it is encrypted while in transit but not decrypted until it reaches the recipient. The data, however, is encrypted once sent, to be decrypted after it arrives at the VPN server. On the other hand, the most secure VPN for PCs follows a strict no-log policy and does not store any data on its server.
In the end, I would say that both E2EE and VPNs are modern and secure ways to guard the private information of your conversations against getting exposed or hacked. However, VPNs can secure more online traffic and provide advantages.
Different kinds of VPN encryption
Below are a selection of the most popular VPN encryption methods.
- OpenVPN is a highly secured VPN encryption system widely employed nowadays. OpenVPN is a very flexible open-source technology.
- Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) and IPSec are typically used to secure the link between your device and the VPN server.
- SSTP is a Microsoft-owned VPN protocol mostly compatible with Windows operating systems.
- Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is a dial-up VPN method.
Does encrypted data have the potential to be stolen?
Hacking is possible using encrypted data. Techniques for encryption, like full disk encryption, are accessible on various endpoint devices. Attackers can use Malware to gain access to an endpoint device and later utilize the device’s keys to unlock information.
Attackers are known to try different keys randomly to crack encryption. It is believed that the size of the key is an immediate correlation with the probability of being successful. As a result, most encryption standards require 256-bit encryption keys. Certain | [

Carrot weevil has increasingly become a significant issue on carrots and celery in some vegetable growing regions of Ontario. Pressure and damage from this pest has been mounting year over year, with older insecticides no longer providing adequate control. Recent testing by University of Guelph researchers has shown that carrot weevil populations at the Holland Marsh have become resistant to Imidan, the grower standard insecticide used to manage this pest for many years.
Screening trials in the last several years have identified two potential insecticides that have efficacy on carrot weevil, Rimon 10 EC and Exirel. Recently they have been registered for carrot weevil on carrots via the Minor Use Program. So, how can growers use these newly registered products most effectively? University of Guelph researchers – Dr. Mary Ruth McDonald and Dr. Cynthia Scott-Dupree, along with graduate student Alexandra Stinson have been working on this issue.
Results of the insecticide screening trials in 2016 and 2018 showed that only Rimon and Exirel reduced carrot weevil damage on carrots compared to the control (no treatment). None of the treatments significantly increased yield compared to the control in these trials.
Exirel Application Timing Trial
In 2018, applications of Exirel were made at the 2nd, 4th and 6th leaf stage of carrots. In terms of carrot weevil damage and yield, none of the treatments were different from the control (no treatment).
Rimon/Exirel Application Timing Trial
In 2017, results of the trial indicate that one application of Rimon applied at the 4th or 6th leaf stage reduced damage by 57% compared to the control. Multiple applications of Rimon or Exirel reduced damage by 68-84%. Two applications of Imidan had the same damage and yield as spraying nothing, illustrating the resistance issue. The late single application of Exirel also was no different than spraying nothing indicating that early application is key.
In 2018, the trial looked at Rimon sprayed at the 2nd, 4th and 6th leaf stage and combinations of all three timings. There were also Exirel/Rimon rotation treatments with Exirel sprayed at the 4th leaf stage and Exirel sprayed at the 4th and 8th leaf stage. In the early and later assessments, applications of Rimon at the 2nd and 4th leaf stages as well as a rotation of Rimon/Exirel were the only treatments that reduced damage from not spraying anything. Numerically the best treatment was a rotation of Rimon and Exirel starting at the 2nd leaf stage.
Overall, early applications around the 2nd and 4th leaf stages seem to provide the best control of carrot weevil. This is good news for growers because this would fit with our current IPM recommendations. We may be able to use these new products similar to how Imidan was recommended previously and based off of trap counts. Rotations of Rimon and Exirel will be important for resistance management. With no potential solutions in the pipeline, growers will need to manage resistance to these two products to preserve their usefulness.
Early seedings of carrots are at a much higher risk than later seedings. Typically, carrots planted the first week of June and later have significantly less carrot weevil damage than carrots planted the first 3 weeks of May.
Some promising work has also been done on alternative hosts as baits for carrot weevil monitoring. Parsley plants are much more attractive to carrot weevil females than carrots or dill. These results will not only improve our IPM monitoring for the 2nd generation of CW later in the season but may also provide a potential trap crop.
If the female weevils could be lured into laying their eggs into a few parsley plants in the headrows, it would be an easy way to reduce the amount of eggs deposited in carrots and would reduce damage.
This, along with other carrot weevil research will be continued in 2019.

LDAP itself is just a protocol, just like HTTP, SMTP, etc...
The various products, such as Active Directory, eDirectory, Sun One Directory Server, and OpenLDAP, all have their own way of doing the actual storage of information on disk, but use LDAP as a way for clients to access and manage the information.
A lot of people will say that LDAP vs. Database is a comparison of faster searches vs. transactional and relationship capabilities. While this is usually true, the real judge of the type of information that should be accessible via LDAP vs a Database is twofold:
1. Is there standard schema for the data being stored? The LDAP standards define not only a protocol, but various schema related to things such as people and groups. Directories that store this type of information can be reused by many applications out-of-the-box, whereas with most databases there is no standard schema for this type of information so something custom is generally done to hook in this type of general-purpose information.
2. Even if the information is defined in a standard schema, it may not be worthwhile storing it in LDAP or it may be. The second test
is really whether the data being stored is generally useful to a variety of applications in a non-relational way. Meaning that if you are constantly associating users with sales information in reports, it may be important that user information is stored in a database. The reverse could be true if you have relatively stand-alone information that is generally useful to many different applications, but doesn't have standard schema defined.
Sometimes information both needs to be in relation with other information and accessed in a standard way (such as LDAP) by off-the-shelf applications (like Netegrity and many application servers). In those cases there are various integration technologies that either synchronize information between directories and databases (meta-directories) or performs database->LDAP translation on the fly (virtual directories).
From a programmer's perspective and from a security perspective, the reason LDAP is so important is that most user accounts are now being managed in an LDAP-enabled directory. As an application developer, you wouldn't want the people using your applications to have to manage a whole set of users just for your application if these users are already being managed (passwords and everything) in an existing repository. Since most of those repositories are LDAP-enabled, you can easily use something like JNDI or JAAS to do your own authentication to these stores or use the built-in functionality in an application server (such as the LDAP Realm in BEA WebLogic Server).
Hope this helps...

A 15-year-old suspect is under arrest in a shooting at a Wisconsin mall that left eight people wounded.
The shooting happened at the Mayfair Mall in Wauwatosa on Friday around 3 p.m.
Police said Sunday afternoon that the suspect is Hispanic. Initially, the suspect was described as a white male in his 20s or 30s. He was taken into custody on Saturday night. Police said a gun was recovered.
Police said the shooting was the result of a fight between groups and was not a random act. | [

The data centre has become one of the most critical infrastructure elements in the modern business. As requirements and technology have evolved, so too has the data centre, and a number of trends are currently evident around this business-critical solution.
The over-arching trend affecting data centres currently is a move away from organisations owning their own physical data centre infrastructure. This is a result of a number of challenges, including cost, rapidly evolving technology, security concerns and others. The data centre of today and the future paints a vastly different picture to this technology in the past, and we are sure to see further evolution in years to come.
While the data centre is essential, it is also expensive to build and maintain, and is often physically tied to a location, hindering the agility of a business in terms of their ability to move. This is resulting in a growing trend whereby many organisations are exploring alternative solutions to the bricks and mortar data centre building. The influence of this trend is driving data centres in a number of different directions. Shared data centres are becoming increasingly popular, enabling co-location of different vendors, providers and customers in a single physical infrastructure, providing economies of scale, best practice security, increased cost efficiency and more. Virtualisation of infrastructure is also on the increase, whether in on premise or shared and hosted data centres, as software-defined data centres come to the fore. By adopting software defined services in a shared data centre, organisations can now access a variety of technology, from storage and servers to backup and recovery solutions from a service provider or multiple service providers without the requirement to build, manage or maintain their own infrastructure.
In addition, as a result of cost and economy pressures, organisations that do require their own physical data centre infrastructure are adopting modular solutions that can be easily deployed and self-powered. Many organisations still require ownership of certain functional areas, making hosted or virtualised data centre services impractical. However, the challenge of the physical construction of infrastructure remains. Pre-built, containerised modular data centres are thus emerging as an alternative solution. These data centres are pre-built and then assembled on site in a matter of a couple of months, rather than the years it has taken in the past to build a traditional data centre. Furthermore, supplementary capacity can be incorporated with the addition of another data centre container module, improving data centre agility and scalability.
The driving factor for the majority of data centre decisions is cost efficiency. The latest developments within data centres highlight this, including the emergence of software-defined data centres and a growing trend toward hosted services in a shared data centre. Organisations are increasingly looking toward service providers to drive economies of scale through converging technologies, a solid skills based and sound managed services, enabling reduced costs, increasing numbers of software services, and consumption-based services that move technology from a capital expense to an affordable monthly fee.
When looking to outsource data centre services, organisations need to examine the total cost of the data centre and the infrastructure. If there is no benefit to maintaining this infrastructure in-house, and the services provisioned out of it are not core business solutions, then the decision is simple in terms of cost versus risk. In other situations, organisations must carefully weigh the benefits and risks to determine the applicability of outsourcing these services.
Data centre solutions delivered as a service offer a number of benefits aside from agility, scalability and a predictable monthly fee. With electricity tariffs on the increase, power consumption is a major cost factor in the data centre. Hosted data centres will not only be more likely to incorporate the latest in energy efficient technology, they also share the cost of power consumption between customers, and this is incorporated as a fixed monthly cost into the services bill. Increasing capacity will thus have far less of an impact on power consumption, as customers do not have to pay for the full infrastructure and the full increased cost of electricity. In addition, organisations can leverage fast provisioning of new services, agility, scalability, shared infrastructure costs, and best of breed solutions in terms of heating, cooling and more.
As data demands continue to increase and more devices become smart and connected, the data centre will play an even more pivotal role in the future. Hosted, shared and virtualised data centre solutions offer organisations access to new and innovative services while addressing the combined pressures of reducing cost and improving agility and scalability, and as a result, will continue to grow in popularity in future.

We consider the problem of control of open-loop unstable systems over a networked control architecture. We focus on the case where the system state is measured and where control commands are transmitted over a fixed bit-rate channel. We describe a novel nonlinear decoder model predictive controller which utilizes 1 bit per sample. The required bit rate can then be adjusted by varying the number of samples per unit time. We establish practical stability for the algorithm. We also compare the minimum fixed bit rate required by our algorithm with known results on the minimum bit rate necessary to achieve stability. | [

The Venice International Film Festival is known for opening the fall season parade of films by showcasing a balanced variety of high-profile and challenging work from around the world. But at the 72nd edition of the event, which opens on Wednesday with Baltasar Kormakur’s mountain-climbing disaster drama “Everest,” it’s hard not to notice the diversity of the American offerings.
Highlights during the 11-day event, which runs through Sept. 12 and shows 55 new feature films in the official selection, include not only grand debuts, but also examples of filmmakers and performers taking chances. The screenwriter Charlie Kaufman returns with “Anomalisa,” a stop-motion animation he directed with Duke Johnson about a dejected motivational speaker. In “Beasts of No Nation,” Cary Fukunaga moves from directing the TV show “True Detective” to portraying child soldiers in Africa. And Scott Cooper’s “Black Mass” stars Johnny Depp as the ruthless Boston gangster and fugitive Whitey Bulger.
These selections will screen alongside “Equals,” starring Kristen Stewart, Nicholas Hoult and Guy Pearce, in a dystopian feature from Drake Doremus, director of the indie romance “Like Crazy”; “Heart of a Dog,” an experimental essay on grief by the pioneering New York artist Laurie Anderson; the postapocalyptic thriller “Man Down,” with Shia LaBeouf, by another indie-nurtured talent, Dito Montiel; and the latest from the master documentarian Frederick Wiseman, “In Jackson Heights.”
“It’s the ability of the American cinema to innovate, to have a wide scope of different stories, from Hollywood studios to the smallest independent filmmaker,” Alberto Barbera, director of the festival, said by phone, referring to the lineup’s 16 features from the United States.
Other anticipated titles in the Lido lineup include “A Bigger Splash,” the Italian director Luca Guadagnino’s follow-up to his 2010 film “I Am Love”; the Argentine director Pablo Trapero’s “The Clan,” based on the grisly story of a Buenos Aires family of murderous well-to-do kidnappers; the British filmmaker Tom Hooper’s “The Danish Girl,” starring Eddie Redmayne as the artist and transgender pioneer Lili Elbe; and “Francofonia,” a portrait of the Louvre under German occupation, by the Russian auteur Aleksandr Sokurov.
These films and others by the Taiwan filmmaker Tsai Ming-liang, the Israeli stalwart Amos Gitai (who tackles the assassination of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin), and the Ukrainian Sergei Loznitsa together ensure that Venice’s reputation as a global platform remains in good condition.
“As a film buff from forever, Venice was the festival where Kurosawa was introduced to the world, and things like that,” Jonathan Demme, the American filmmaker who leads the jury for the aesthetically adventuresome Horizons section, said by telephone. “It’s an incredible gilt-edged reputation.”
Mr. Demme, who won an Oscar in 1992 for “Silence of the Lambs,” has shown multiple films at Venice, beginning with “Melvin and Howard” in 1980, up through the 2008 opening-night selection, “Rachel Getting Married.”
Now, Mr. Demme joins a star-studded trio of juries. Alfonso Cuarón heads the competition jury, which also includes the Taiwanese master Hou Hsiao-Hsien; the American actress and director Elizabeth Banks; the Academy Award-winning filmmaker Pawel Pawlikowski from Poland; Nuri Bilge Ceylan, whose film “Winter Sleep” won the Palme d’Or at Cannes in 2014; the British filmmaker Lynne Ramsay; the French author and director Emmanuel Carrère; and Franceso Munzi, the Italian director of last year’s Venice selection “Black Souls.”
Mr. Munzi’s compatriot, Saverio Costanzo, leads the jury for the “Luigi De Laurentiis” Venice Award for a Debut Film. Mr. Costanzo’s parental psychodrama “Hungry Hearts” won two awards at Venice last year, an honor that he credited with giving his film a valuable boost.
“Last year the two awards to the actors for ‘Hungry Hearts’ significantly helped to create international buzz around the film. So when we got to Toronto, right after Venice, the market’s interest for the film had already been lit up,” he said in an email.
Venice is poised to give other films a similar boost this year. One cluster of movies that might benefit in this way is the selection from Latin America, which Mr. Barbera said was especially strong | [

A Nice Warm Weekend Ahead | KCET
A Nice Warm Weekend Ahead
"Temperatures will steadily climb today and tomorrow, and plateau on Sunday," said Ryan Kittell, a meteorologist for the Service's Oxnard office.
For most of Southern California, coastal areas will experience high temperatures in the 70s and in the 80s for inland and valley areas. Where that trend will be bucked is in Kern and Inyo counties, as well cities in the Mojave desert, where highs will stay in the 60s, and dipping into the 40s overnight, said meteorologist Modesto Vasquez at the Service's Hanford office.
Offshore winds felt throughout the region will be the strongest today, followed by weaker ones throughout the weekend.
Temperatures are expected to stay relatively the same through the early part of next week, but there is a small possibility, at this point, of rain on Wednesday.
Huell investigates a onetime tradition, the Yosemite Firefall, and experiences the natural version of the "Firefall" at Horsetail Fall. Huell calls it "one of the most magnificent sights you'll ever see in your life."

The quest for easy answers
Last night, someone shared with me about a missionary who was supposed to be going to Sri Lanka last month, but somehow because of visa complications, they couldn't go. He went on to say that if he had gone, he would have been caught in the Tsunami, and might even have lost his life. Apparently, the visa problems just got sorted out last week and he is going to go in a few weeks. "What a marvellous divine intervention," this Christian brother added.
I was uneasy with what I heard. I didn't know how to respond. I am not sure why so often some Christians often put more value to one missionary who seemed to have miraculously escaped death and disaster than tens of thousands of "heathens" who have not. I know perhaps he did not really think that to be the case. However, I still feel uneasy that we tend to rejoice at the suggestion that God has intervened in one life, because it leaves the nagging question, "Why didn't he intervene in the lives of the other tens of thousands?"
Why is it that Chrstians sometimes tend to be quick to give thanks to God for whatever "good" thing shining in the midst of darkness and tragedy? Many Christians also are quick to point to verses like Romans 8:28 "All things work for the good to those who love the Lord" and sometimes in their eagerness to embrace the "working for good" part, they are quick to give thanks for the "good" and seem to gloss over the pain, suffering, groaning and moaning of the moment. I think there are times when we need to hold our peace, and just shed a tear or two in silence as we struggle with the realization that there are just no easy answers to the hard questions.
Earlier on, my wife had asked me, "What is the role of God in all this that has happened in Asia?" I had suggested to her that God is suffering together with those who are suffering. She pressed on, "If some parents had lost all of their children but another's child escaped, can we thank God that He saved one but not the other? Can we say that God is working for the good that He has taken the children of one set of parents but not the other?"
My wife likes to ask hard questions. I remember feeling just a tad irritated by her questions last night, although I hope I did not show it. I don't know why I was irritated. Maybe because even though I knew there were no easy answers, I so wanted there to be so. How I wish I could just come up with a formula, or a tightly argued philosophical treatise and offer it to quell all doubts and questions. But, I had to admit to my wife that I didn't know the answer.
Reading what the Archbishop of Canterbury wrote in the Daily Telegraph helped me to deal with the uneasiness somewhat:
"Making sense" of a great disaster will always be a challenge simply because those who are closest to the cost are the ones least likely to accept some sort of intellectual explanation, however polished.I think there is a tendency for humans to want to deal with pains, sufferings and disaster like we deal with any other thing in life: to conquer it. Perhaps it comes from the human need to "subdue" the earth, following the divine mandate given to us at Creation (Gen. 1: 28). Perhaps, it comes from the spirit of the scientific revolution, when humans came of age of sorts, and we got this false hope of overpowering nature, controlling it, and taming it finally via the supposed panacea of all human ills - scientific knowledge and applications.
Whatever it is, when we are rendered impoverished and helpless by the forces of nature, or by the irrationality of the stark reality of the world - we seem to be disturbed to the core. We want to overcome it by a retreat to either a "bald naturalism" where we try to force all of life to fit into a particular model of explanation, or we appeal to a supernatural absolutism, where we try to anchor the uncertainties of life to some sort of foundationalism. However, either of the approaches leads to blind alleys. On the one hand, a bald naturalism denies a whole range of reality that just cannot be made to fit into the reductionism that seeks purely naturalistic explanations and on the other hand, supernaturalist absolutism denies the stark reality of the vagueness and uncertainties of life by forcing a strictly black and white answer to every question.
That is why I like the humility the Archbishop showed in his article:
The odd thing is that those who are most deeply involved – both as sufferers and as helpers – are so often the ones who spend least energy in raging over the lack of explanation. They are likely to shrug off, awkwardly and not very articulately, the great philosophical or religious questions we might | [

365.282 - it gets better
It may not always feel like it
but it does get better
I promise :)
You're not alone
You may feel you are but you're not.
There are people who have gone through this before you
I considered killing myself because I was "different"
because I wasn't destined to have a "normal" life
I didn't feel like I belonged
I've been bashed, I've been vilified. And I got out the other side, it's not always easy but it is worth it! It gets better!
I still don't feel normal, I still don't feel like I belong. But I'm happy :)
Life is amazing
If you feel you can't - honestly, reach out get help! Talk to someone. Please! Suicide is not an option.

1.A fine level of pruning where small limbs of your tree and shrubs are removed in order to remove its appearance.
2.The standard level of pruning, wherein heavy cutting and trimming is involved to enhance the branch growth of your trees.
3.A hazard trimming level is meant for the trees that have the capability to pose various concerns related to safety. In this degree, multiple branches are trimmed and removed which can be more than two inches or even more in diameter.
4.The last level of tree pruning is known that the crown reduction pruning, which could involve removing major branches of your tree. This is possible to do mostly when the tree is not in the right position and can have a significant amount of damage, which could gradually lead to its death. Sometimes this process is done when the branches of the tree are interfering with the nearby power grids and lines. About one-third of the crown of the tree is removed in this case.
With the major advances technology has made today, it is quite possible to achieve finesse and perfection in even a job like this- tree pruning. Latest technology can have major benefits for people when it comes to tree pruning.
Here are the multiple benefits the use of knowledge, expertise and latest technology together can provide:
1.A good amount of tree pruning could turn the health of your trees in a better place, because of the elimination of all kinds of dead branches.

You know who I admire?
Step-parents. And people who co-parent. And don’t, you know, shoot each other in the face.
Because? That’s really hard to do.
Last night I was talking to my sister on the phone and I happened to mention something about my ex-husband (I really can’t remember how that subject even came up…the conversation was so freaking hilarious what with the Wilfred Brimley and diabetes references. Long story) and I felt the anger and bile rise up in me like you would not believe.
I’ve long believed that my ex-husband leaving me alone has been the best thing he could ever do for me, although I also believe that he has no idea how much of a favor that he’s actually doing me and probably still thinks that I sit around crying every night because I miss him so much.
Excuse me. I just had to vomit in my trashcan.
Anyway, I read a few blogs of women who are step-mothers and I have to say, I really admire them. Some of them have better relationships with their egg donors than others. Some of them? I honestly don’t know how they haven’t shot the birth mother in the face. But I admire all of them.
I read blogs of women who are dealing with ex-husbands and ex-boyfriends too, of course. I sometimes feel bad when I do, because clearly I am far too immature to be able to handle that kind of stuff. Because the thought of having to deal with my ex-husband on a regular basis makes me want to stuff my fingers in my ears and scream, “Camille!”
Or, you know, whatever.
I guess these women make me think about past fears. One of my main, main fears was that my ex-husband would marry the woman he cheated with. And I would have to be all like, “This is my kid’s step-mother. I’mawhorewithaninnerthightattoo. She sucks.”
Which would, clearly, be a loss of my testimony.
But to my knowledge, he’s not married anyone else. Not that he has anything to do with the kids anyway, so it’s kind of a moot point. But it used to be this huge, huge fear.
I applaud all of you who do it with grace and class. You are far, far better than I. | [

Libya's oil production reaches 685,000 bpd - NOC
(Ecofin Agency) - Libya’s oil production during the weekend reached 685,000 barrels of oil per day (bpd) up from around 600,000 a day last month, an official from the National Oil Corporation (NOC) revealed.
The country’s output increased following the lifting of the two-year blockade on key pipelines leading from the western fields of Sharara and El Feel.
The NOC official said output has been rising steadily from the Sharara field, which has a capacity of 330,000 bpd but did not provide any details concerning operations at El Feel, which has the capacity to produce 90,000 bpd.
General output is still lower than the over 1.6 million bpd that the North African country was producing before the 2011 uprising. The oil corporation has said it hopes to boost production to nearly 900,000 bpd by March, 2017, Reuters reports. | [

Gathering dust in the old base dining facility of Geiger Field, now Spokane International Airport, is a World War II-era aerial bomb, welded shut in 1966, with unknown artifacts inside, "items typical of the 1960s." It now serves as a time capsule.
The time capsule will be housed at the Honor Point Museum at Felts Field in Spokane when it is opened in 2066. The former WWII-era weapon had been on display at Fairchild Air Force Base in previous decades.
The Spokane Daily Chronicle's description of the time capsule from 1966 states the weight as 1,000 pounds, but the Honor Point Military and Aerospace Museum's facilities and artifacts volunteer, Stan Roth, estimates it to be a more modest 250 pounds.
"It's like a lot of stuff in the military," Roth said. "It's big and heavy, without a lot of give. And whatever it hits, the thing breaks."
Roth wheeled the bomb out on a dolly, and maneuvering the bomb took a fair degree of effort.
"I was told there's stuff inside it, and that's all I could tell you," Roth said.
Ed Kaluza, who spearheaded the creation of the time capsule, was a master sergeant in the Air National Guard at the time of the sealing.
"The bomb time capsule in your news clipping from 1966 is the one you photographed at Spokane International last Wednesday morning," Roth said a few days after taking the time capsule out of storage for photographing. "The guy in the photo, Ed Kaluza, apparently created it and had a hand in putting the contents in it. It appears to have been in the custody of the Washington Air National Guard for some time. Our accession number for the item indicates that it was given to Fairchild Heritage Museum by William Krapohl, with a donation date of Sept. 19, 1990. Ed Kaluza was one of the people involved in starting the Fairchild Heritage Museum sometime in the mid-1980s."
The bomb/time capsule had been at Fairchild for some time before starting another journey toward its future destination, the Honor Point Museum.
"The bomb was on display in front of the barracks building that housed Fairchild Heritage Museum when I signed on as a volunteer in October 1996," Roth said. "At that time, the bomb looked just like it does now. The original building sat in the block directly east of the current (Heritage) Air Park, along with the four rail cars that are still there. That original building, and a second one that we expanded into around 1999 or 2000, were both torn down several years ago."
After its time at Fairchild, the bomb time capsule moved around the Inland Northwest even more before being put in its current storage spot.
"The Fairchild Heritage Museum closed in June 2002," Roth said. "The entire collection was packed up and moved off base, except for a few selected items that were moved to Wright-Patterson (AFB, Ohio,) by Air Force Museum folks. A lot of the collection was stored at the Northwest Museum of Arts and Culture (in Spokane), and the big, hard, heavy stuff that was not climate sensitive was moved to an Atlas-E Missile Site near Sprague, Washington. The bomb was part of the Sprague stuff. In the summer of 2007, we moved the Sprague stuff back to Spokane, to a building on Spokane International (Airport) property. In April and May of 2015, we moved the Sprague stuff again, from the airport property to the building where you met us last Wednesday, which is owned by Community Colleges of Spokane."
The former bomb is more than a time capsule now. It is a symbol of the military history of the region.
"This time capsule is a snapshot in time, providing us a unique glimpse into the past," said Jim O'Connell, 92nd Air Refueling Wing historian. "It affords us a precious opportunity to better understand and appreciate those Airmen who created the legacy of excellence that we know today." | [

Some offices are experiencing phone delays. To schedule or reschedule an appointment, please use MyChart or Find a Doctor. For non-urgent questions, please send your care team a message through MyChart.
The vast majority of newborns in the United States are screened for sickle cell disease, an inherited condition that gives red blood cells an abnormal shape. People with sickle cell disease have a defective form of hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen to organs and tissues throughout the body.
This defective hemoglobin, called hemoglobin S, causes blood cells to be stiff and inflexible. As a result, they cannot effectively carry oxygen to tissues throughout the body, resulting in pain and long-term organ damage.
To screen for sickle cell disease, a doctor or nurse places a few drops of a newborn baby’s blood, taken from a small heel prick, on a special card that is sent to a laboratory at the New York State Department of Health. The laboratory determines whether hemoglobin S or other abnormal types of hemoglobin are present in your baby’s blood.
A positive result means that hemoglobin S is present in your baby’s blood sample. However, additional blood tests are needed to confirm a diagnosis of sickle cell disease and to monitor your child’s health. | [

Some individuals may not be familiar with the term “closed-head injuries,” and accordingly, they might not be aware of its meaning. Closed-head injuries are a kind of traumatic brain injury (TBI) that doesn’t involve any object penetration into the skull and brain. Instead, it could be a physical blow to the head, or even a blow to the body, that could make the head move quickly back and forth such that it could bounce the brain around on the inside of the skull, which will, in turn, result in brain injury. You might also be surprised to learn that concussions are closed-head injuries that are deemed to be mild TBI.
Closed-head injuries can affect cells and tissues throughout the brain and can range from mild to severe. The most common cause of closed-head injuries in the U.S. are auto accidents. Closed-head injuries can also occur because of falls, work-related incidents, assaults, or sports-related accidents.
Some of the most common symptoms of closed-head injuries include:
- Nausea and vomiting
- Behavioral and emotional changes
- Loss of consciousness
- Cerebrospinal fluid leaking from the nose and/or ears
- Speech and language problems
If you have one or more of these symptoms after having been in a motor vehicle accident, it is crucial that you see your physician and get the necessary medical treatment as quickly as possible. These types of injuries might not be obvious right away after the accident; therefore, it is important to get checked even though you might feel okay.
Speak to a Decatur injury attorney as Soon as Possible
If you have suffered a closed-head or brain injury as a result of a car accident that was caused by someone else’s negligence, you have a right to seek compensation that will pay for your medical bills, lost wages, cost of rehabilitation, therapy and any continued treatments that might become necessary depending on the kind of closed-head injury sustained. If you would like to speak with a Decatur injury attorney about the specifics of your particular situation, please call John Cannon at 1-800-373-6050 for a free consultation. | [

United States President Donald Trump has repeated his pressure on South Korea over its contribution to shared defense costs for the upkeep of U.S. troops on the Korean Peninsula.
Trump said on Friday in an interview with Fox News that South Korea will pay much more, calling the U.S.' ally a "rich country."
Trump reportedly claimed that the United States is stationing 32-thousand troops in South Korea to protect its ally from North Korea and thus Seoul has to pay for that, and they gave the U.S. 500 million dollars. He repeated the claim and added the South will pay much more.
The remarks draw attention as they came ahead of a sixth round of defense cost-sharing negotiations on Tuesday and Wednesday in Washington. | [

Gills boss hopes three points against Crewe will lift squadMartin Allen says a victory against Crewe Alexandra later today would be a huge lift for everyone at the club.
The Gills are preparing for their fifth away league game of the season, and Martin is hoping the hard work that has been put in on the training ground this week will produce an encouraging result.
Speaking during his midweek press conference he said:
“Players have trained hard, they have started training a bit earlier and some groups have stayed later. We have trained a couple of afternoons and everyone was in Wednesday, there have been no days off.
“I wouldn’t say it’s harder, it’s certainly more often [training]. I can’t just sit back can I? Imagine if I was the Manager and I just sat at home riding my bike – if I had to live like that I would never go out - `everyone have a few days off, ` that’s no game plan or positive action.
“We need to do better – we need to practice, train more and do more work. We need to work out how to make it better and help individuals and that’s what I am good at.
“It would be a big boost for the players. It’s the same feeling for me, I want to win a game and I haven’t had a run like this in 35 years so it would give everyone a lift.
“This is a long competition and I said that numerous times last year. We are two months in and there are a lot of points to be won.”
Martin was asked if he thrived in this situation and why he relishes the challenge so much.
He said: “I think I do yes. I don’t know what it is but I’ve always been that type. I’m the worst ever footballer in the Allen family and it was only through hard work and training seven days a week and mornings before school that made to be a footballer.
“All the teams and the clubs I have gone to a lot is said about motivation, but I do coach aswell and I do put on training sessions.
“I would prefer to be at the top but it is certainly a different challenge and I thrive on it. I could hide and pass it all over and give the players days off but I haven’t been made like that.
“I’m a fighter.”
The management have been in every day during the week to iron out any recent errors, and Martin said the opposition has been a secondary concern as the staff focus on getting things right.
He said: “To be honest my work this week has been with our professionals and our staff and us working together.
“We had chances on Saturday to win that game and then we lost to a poxy goal. We have covered all those types of things, I don’t want to concede poxy goals and I don’t want to keep saying afterwards that we have been unlucky and that we nearly got there.
“We need to take it in our own hands, play our game and get our players playing to the very best of their ability.
“It can change very quickly – last season we were top for nine and a half months in a ten month competition and people still criticise.
“We were not always playing great but in my job you have to take that stuff that comes your way.”

A new recirculating oil sealed vacuum pump package has been introduced by Leistritz for use with its range of twin screw extruders and other type/model extruders. The recirculating oil ring pump is replacing once-through water sealed vacuum pumps to pull vacuum from extruder vents to enhance devolatilization efficiencies. The vacuum pump typically can be operated 2 to 6 months before the oil needs to be replaced. The main advantage of the oil sealed design is that it eliminates the environmental concerns associated with water disposal from the water sealed pump.
The system includes a TEFC motor and an oil reservoir with built-in baffles equipped with filter, sight glass and drain valve. The oil is cooled using a rear-mounted heat exchanger with the fan driven by the pump motor. The oil return line includes a temperature gauge and fixed orifice flow control valve. The vacuum line has a shut-off valve, check valve and gauge. A knockout pot with filter is situated between the extruder and pump. All components are mounted on a steel base plate.
Plumbing connections can mate to multiple vents from the same pump. Two traps/filter with quick disconnects and a 3-way valve can be used with the same pump for changeover while processing. Custom systems may also be specified with dry filters, liquid separators, chilled liquid condensers, and closed loop vacuum level adjustment. | [

Social media has taken over the world. It has permeated Bachelor Nation. And apparently it has sucked in the furry friends of many Bachelor Nation stars as well.
Meet Scout Brown-Underwood
Scout Brown-Underwood is the new member of the household shared by “The Bachelor” star, Colton Underwood, and his fiancé, Jordan C. Brown. Scout has his own social media voice, “posting” things like “hi world, it’s me scout!” in his inaugural photo.
There is also a pic of Scout with Brown, including the caption “hi my name is scout and this is one of my dads. he loves hand feeding me, scratching my neck and teaching me not to pee in the house.” Another post shows him with Underwood, with Scout announcing, “this is my other dad. he likes sneaking me treats, throwing my toys & showing me off.”
Some fans even ask the dog questions, such as “Are you an Australian Shepherd??? I just adopted a 10month old Aussie named Izzy! She is beautiful just like you.” Scout has not yet responded.
Introducing Tommy Thurston
Bachelorette Katie Thurston has a cat who shares his Instagram page with his other fluffy friends. Like Scout Brown-Underwood, Tommy speaks for himself. He introduced his fuzzy face to the fans in a February 15 Instagram post with the caption, “Hello I’m Tommy and the little stick with a sweater is Dexter. Nice to meet you!” Dexter is Thurston’s ex-boyfriend’s dog.
According to Us Weekly, when Thurston and her boyfriend, John Hersey, broke up in June, fans were concerned about the relationship between the couple’s four-legged children. However, the Bachelorette reassured fans that everything would be okay. “Still furry friends,” Us Weekly reported on June 30. “Katie Thurston let fans know that her beloved cat Tommy will remain good pals with ex John Hersey’s dog, Dexter, even though their humans decided to part ways.”
Other pets in Bachelor Nation have tried to befriend Tommy. For example, one groovy cat posted, “Hi Tommy! I’m Bric! Gimme a follow!” But Tommy’s play date schedule may be currently full.
Say ‘Hello’ To Walter Booth
Bachelor Nation fans remember Shawn Booth as the winner of season 11 of “The Bachelorette” in 2015. He got engaged to Kaitlyn Bristowe, but the couple broke up in 2018. Not to worry. Booth has his faithful companion, Walter, at his side.
Like the other pets here, Walter has his own Instagram account, and it is loaded with adorable pics. There is even a hilarious video of Walter driving a car while chased by police, and telling himself, “act cool, man.”
On the site, fans can see Walter grow up from a little puppy to a full-grown dog. One of Walter’s first posts shows him as a puppy wearing a bandana that’s almost as big as he is. The caption reads, “Had to look my best for when my dad came and picked me up.”
Welcome Ramen Noodle and Pinot Bristowe-Tartick
Apparently great ex-fiancés think alike. Booth’s former love, Kaitlyn Bristowe, and her current fiancé, Jason Tartick, also have an Instagram account for their dogs – two golden retrievers named Ramen Noodle and Pinot.
Originally the account was just for Ramen. However, when the couple added Pinot to the family, they naturally had to let the two rescues share social media space. On National Dog Rescue Day, the two K-9s took to Instagram to thank their humans for their rescue efforts. Technically, Ramen made the post because “Pinot doesn’t know how to type,” the caption read. | [

Thursday had fall written all over it! There were clouds, showers, wind and office space heaters on all across the Northeast. Thursday night, we keep spotty rain around under mostly cloudy skies. The wind will get weaker but remain periodically breezy. Lows will drop into the upper 40s & low 50s.
Friday features spotty rain and high temperatures only climbing into the mid 60s. Remember, average is about 75°! The Vermont Lake Monsters start their 2019 campaign at Centennial at 7:30pm against the Tri-City ValleyCats. There will be showers around but I still think they’re able to get the game in. The thunder threat is pretty much zero and temps will be in the upper 50s° after 7pm.
Father’s day weekend isn’t soaking wet but Sunday looks to be the wetter of the two days. Saturday, showers will be around with most of them along & north of the International Border. The more south you go, rain is still possible, but it should be more hit or miss. Meanwhile, highs get back into the mid 70s. Sunday, scattered rain and perhaps a thunderstorm will move through from morning to early afternoon. Showers linger during the afternoon but should get lighter as the day goes on; highs will be in the low 70s. At this point, don’t cancel outside plans with dad but i’d be prepared for a few rain delays.
The weekend is in view!

The Croods: A New Age Soap2Day - I liked the gorgeous play of the actors and the general atmosphere, which throughout 95 minutes was a great background for the development of a non-banal plot.

Azerbaijan, Baku, Sept.27 / Trend, A.Akhundov /
Capacity of the Baku-Tbilisi-Erzurum gas pipeline, which transports gas from the Shah Deniz field, will be increased up to 65 billion cubic meters per year, Azerbaijani Deputy Industry and Energy Minister Natig Abbasov said at the International Conference "Construction of Bridges" in Baku on Thursday.
"An agreement has been reached with BP to increase capacity of the gas pipeline first to 35 billion cubic meters per year, and later to 65 billion cubic meters," Abbasov said.
He said it will increase Azerbaijan's role in ensuring energy security of Europe.
In the first half-year, the South Caucasus gas pipeline (Baku-Tbilisi-Erzurum) transported 2.2 billion cubic meters of gas compared to 2.4 billion cubic meters of gas in January-June 2011.
The length of the Baku-Tbilisi-Erzurum (South Caucasian gas pipeline) is over 700 km. The gas produced from the Shah Deniz field in the Azerbaijani sector of the Caspian Sea is transported via the pipeline. The gas is supplied to Georgia and Turkey. Azerbaijan also appears as the buyer of gas. | [

Schwartz would be a big boost to Goldman's investment banking pull in the media and telecom industries. It is being described as "a major coup" for Goldman. It's also a clear sign that Goldman is confident it will be able to pay off the TARP soon. You have to think that they are telling Schwartz his pay won't be capped at $500,000 for very long.

I’m so thankful to Pepperdine University Bible Lectures and Mike Cope for the invite to be a small part of this year’s lectures. If you weren’t able to attend, then you missed out on an incredible gathering of diverse leaders, speakers, and writers unified around a common love for God and others and the place our small tribe can play in the ongoing movement of God’s kingdom.
I spoke to a small group of leaders while there who, like me, want to see good things happen in small church America.

Magnetic rods are commonly used in slow, free flowing materials such as grain, food, spices, plastic and chemical fertilizer. The rods can be installed individually in one row or multiple rows. Standard spacing between the rods are 2-inch horizontally and vertically center-to-center. When multiple rows are needed for better separation, the rods should be staggered. Other center-to-center arrangements can be accomplished depending on product flow characteristics and flow rates. The rule of thumb for determining the center-to-center distance is that installations must not cause product bridging and must allow easy access for cleaning.
These magnets are provided in different strengths and lengths. Multi rows of magnetic rods with Ceramic 5 magnetic load (2,500 Surface Gauss) are suited to capture large ferrous metals (i.e. nuts, bolts, washers, nails, etc.).
Magnetic rods with Neodymium magnetic load are recommended for applications where ferrous metal contaminants are much smaller (i.e. metal chips, stables, metal shavings, etc.). Magnetic Hold offers several magnetic rods with neodymium load for your application. They are listed in table below. The stronger magnetic rods are highly recommended for food and pharmaceutical products.
Available Neodymium Magnetic Loads
|Average Surface Gauss||Average Holding Force (Lbs)|
(1/4 Dia. Steel Ball)
Construction of Magnetic Rods
Magnetic rod’s shell is from 300 series stainless steel (304 or 316) polished to a smooth finish. The rods are an inch (25 mm) in diameter from 4 inches long to 60 inches long. End plugs are continuously welded and can be smooth (300 S.S.) or threaded and countersunk (400 S.S.) to your specifications. Magnetic rods can be manufactured for working temperatures from 176 °F (80 °C) to 662 °F (350 °C). | [

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) signed two agreements with African nuclear regulatory bodies at the National Nuclear Regulator’s (NNR’s) recent second Nuclear Regulatory Information Conference. The agreements were designated ‘practical arrangements’ and were between the IAEA and the NNR and between the IAEA and the Forum for Nuclear Regulatory Bodies in Africa.
In his keynote address to the conference, IAEA deputy director-general and head of the Nuclear Safety and Security Department Juan Carlos Lentijo pointed out that the agency, and his department, in particular, supported the development in member countries of the skills necessary to ensure nuclear and radiological safety and security. International cooperation in the area was key, as it also promoted global nuclear safety and security.
“Creating a highly skilled workforce takes effort,” he observed. Effort was necessary on the part of both the workers themselves and the national decision-makers. The latter had to devote the necessary resources to ensure the success of the effort. Regarding South Africa, he added that the development of these skills in the country would also benefit the other countries in the region.
He reported that a number of countries had indicated to the IAEA that they needed assistance in developing the skills required to bring their institutions into line with IAEA standards. With IAEA help, a number of African countries were developing action plans to meet their needs.
As part of its policy to help develop safety, security and regulatory standards and capabilities in those countries desiring such assistance, the IAEA could send technical and scientific support organisations (TSOs) to them. (These comprise experts who provide technical and scientific services for national nuclear regulatory authorities and industry, and help advise governments, to assist them in achieving the highest possible nuclear – including waste – and radiation protection safety and security levels.)
He highlighted that the NNR Centre for Nuclear Safety and Security was hosting a pilot of an IAEA initiative to develop such skills. He pointed out that the South African regulator had long been cooperating with international forums on nuclear safety, security and regulation. The Forum for Nuclear Regulatory Bodies in Africa was one such forum, to which the NNR had shown its commitment.
He noted there was a proposal to create a TSO for Africa that would cover matters such as the safe and secure transport and storage of nuclear and other radioactive materials. He expressed the view that the development of a TSO in Africa would not only benefit African countries but also help other regions that might follow Africa’s example.
He reiterated that safety was an area in which the development of skills was highly important. The IAEA offered many programmes and courses in support of the development of such skills. “We recently launched the International School for Nuclear and Radiological Leadership for Safety,” said Lentijo. This was for middle-ranking, not senior, personnel. “The course enables participants to develop their safety leadership skills. We conducted a successful pilot version in 2017 in France. We encourage you to hold such a school in Africa.” Because the course developed the competences needed to ensure nuclear safety and security, it was of benefit to national nuclear regulatory bodies.
In terms of international cooperation, the NNR “is a very good example... the agency (IAEA) is committed to continuing its fruitful cooperation with the NNR”. The two bodies were partners in enhancing nuclear safety and security, worldwide. | [

The penetration of Bordetella pertussis adenylate cyclase into various mammalian cells exhibits similar kinetics; the accumulation of both intracellular cyclase activity and cyclic AMP is rapid, reaching constant levels after 15-60 min of incubation. The kinetics of enzyme penetration into turkey erythrocytes is different; cyclase activity and cyclic AMP accumulate linearly and do not reach constant levels even after 6 h of incubation. In the preceding paper [Friedman, Farfel & Hanski (1987) Biochem. J. 243, 145-151] we have suggested that the constant level of intracellular cyclase activity reflects a steady state formed by continuous penetration and intracellular inactivation of the enzyme. In contrast with other mammalian cells, no inactivation of cyclase is observed in turkey erythrocytes. These results further support the notion that there is continuous penetration and deactivation of the invasive enzyme in mammalian cells. A 5-6-fold increase in specific activity of the invasive cyclase is detected in a pellet fraction of human lymphocytes in which a similar increase in specific activity of the plasma-membrane marker 5'-nucleotidase is observed. A similar increase in the invasive-cyclase specific activity is detected in a membrane fraction of human erythrocytes. Cyclase activity in a membrane-enriched fraction of human lymphocytes reached a constant level after 20 min of cell exposure to the enzyme. Similar time courses were observed for accumulation of cyclase activity and cyclic AMP in whole lymphocytes [Friedman, Farfel & Hanski (1987) Biochem. J. 243, 145-151]. We suggest therefore that cyclic AMP generation by the invasive enzyme as well as the intracellular inactivation process occur while it is associated with a membrane fraction identical, or closely associated, with the plasma membrane.

Each CNN and MSNBC have equipped complete protection of the listening to, however Fox Information continues to be beholden to Trump and now not appearing it.
This sort of issues isn’t just like the others:
Fox Information is not airing the primary listening to at the revolt on the U.S. Capitol — as a substitute they are speaking about athletes taking a knee, which they are saying “is likely one of the maximum polarizing issues to occur to this country in many years” pic.twitter.com/X7QKU5smUM
— Lis Energy (@LisPower1) February 23, 2021
Fox Information audience have now not been advised that the home terrorists had been armed or even had their very own communications methods. As the previous Capitol Police Leader testified, they got here ready for warfare.
Fox audience have additionally now not been advised that the attack was planned and coordinated well in advance:
Trump’s home terror assault at the Capitol was once deliberate and coordinated upfront via other folks in more than one states consistent with the previous Capitol Police Leader. pic.twitter.com/XKhs6Lkv91
— Sarah Reese Jones (@PoliticusSarah) February 23, 2021
The assault wasn’t spontaneous. It was once deliberate, coordinated with Trump’s other folks, and the rally that introduced the attackers to the Capitol was once paid for via Trump’s marketing campaign. The terrorists have admitted in court docket that they had been status via and looking forward to Trump’s order to assault.
Fox Information is protecting their audience within the Trump bubble. Their loyalty to the previous president has now not been damaged. Even though their ratings are in the dumpster, Fox continues to be sure that Trump cultists stay unaware of the reality.

Hey! Here are some more short story pieces, some with titles, some without.
0 divided us.
Nothing could divide us we both promised, and for a while it seems to stick. We are great friends and maybe even lovers. But I’m telling you now, it might be nothing that divides us in the end, the void of no words or caring that tears us apart.
You found an ugly stone; me, and you tried to crack it and crack it you did. But with every crack, you didn’t know, I was a diamond, and every single blow, every kill you tried under the cover of love, I just gleamed brighter. When you broke me, it all fell apart and I became anew. I’ll have to thank you someday because now everyone wants me, the ugly gem, the gorgeous insecure
I like to play where I shouldn’t play.
Harps and shadows, darkness all day.
I like to walk where I shouldn’t walk.
The darkness is fun when you don’t balk.
Bad things happen in the dark
So stay near me and let me be the light of the shadows.
I love the dark because of the pain
So come close, I’ll give you my rain.
I hold fire in my hands.
And it’s running through your veins.
Don’t leave me in here, it’s all dark.
The shadows and meadow larks.
Don’t leave me here alone
This is my house but not my home. | [

I recently found that you can fix the hotplug problem (When you connect a USB device to the computer it doesn't activate automatically, you have to reboot), when using linux on HP Pavilion dv6220la.
In a previous post I wrote you have to add some flags to the linux kernel when you boot the computer. These flags are:
The problem comes with noapic. It seems to disable hotplug. To fix this, you just need to add another flag:
So the final flags are:
noapic nolapic irqfixup
If you dont want to edit directly the /boot/grub/menu.lst you can download the package qgrubeditor. You can find it within Synaptics. It comes with a nice GUI to edit grub. | [

CALIFORNIA: CHP says people who flee often have legal issues. Local police target the problem with checkpoints.
By Sarah Burge
A great-grandmother died last week in Mira Loma when the pickup she was riding in was broadsided by an intoxicated hit-and-run driver. The man, who had DUI convictions and a suspended license, ran from the scene but was found hiding in some bushes nearby, officers said.
Earlier this summer, a hit-and-run driver killed another grandmother as she and her two young grandsons walked home from a church fiesta in Rubidoux.
And in January, a 79-year-old pastor was run down and killed on his morning walk on Highway 74 in Riverside County. Not only did the driver flee, but two other drivers who ran over the body also failed to stop, California Highway Patrol officials said.
The thought that anyone would leave a grandmother or a pastor to die in the street is only one aspect of a fact many people find unsettling. Statistics show that fleeing the scene of serious crashes is not uncommon, especially in California.
Federal numbers show the percentage of fatal crashes involving hit-and-run drivers in California is among the highest in the nation. In 2005, the most recent year for which nationwide totals are available, according the U.S. Transportation Department, more than 8 percent of California’s fatal crashes involved hit-and-run drivers. The national average is about 3.5 percent.
Fatal hit-and-run collisions went up from 233 in 2004 to 315 in 2005, resulting in the deaths of 340 people. More than 28,000 people were injured.
Last year, the Daily Breeze reported
that California Highway Patrol statistics showed an increase from nearly 97,500 hit-and-run crashes in 2001 to almost 104,500 in 2005, the last year the numbers were available.
In the South Bay last year, hit-and-run drivers struck and killed a Hawthorne teenager in a crosswalk, an elderly Carson man going about his daily walk, and a man crossing the street in front of a car rental business in Inglewood.
Tom Marshall, a CHP spokesman, said his agency doesn’t keep statistics on the reasons people run, which are many.
But generally speaking, he said, hit-and-run drivers usually have other legal woes.
Maybe they’re driving under the influence or maybe they’ve stolen the car they were driving, Marshall said.
It’s not uncommon to find that drivers fled because there’s a warrant for their arrest, he said.
“There’s so many people and there’s so much traffic,” he said. “The more cars you add, the more likely there will be a problem.
“To keep it in perspective,” Marshall added, “most people do stop and do the right thing.”
One of the reasons several South Bay police departments conduct driver’s license checkpoints to take unlicensed motorists off the street is to reduce the number of crashes, including hit-and-run accidents.
“Obviously it does impact hit-and-run,” Gardena police Traffic Investigator Carl Freeman said.
“If you are the culprit behind a hit-and-run crash, you are running because you did something. If you are suspended, you are suspended because of bad driving.”
Sheri Possehl, whose 15-year-old son, Jessie, was killed last month by a hit-and-run driver, said she was stunned to learn about not only the behavior of the suspected driver after the crash, but also that of passersby.
A vehicle hit Jessie as the teen rode his bike home with his younger brother, Alex, on a winding rural road near Perris, then fled.
Police arrested a suspect, Tyler Scott Trotter, 21, a few weeks later.
A neighbor at the crash scene reported seeing Trotter drive back past in another vehicle, chuckling with a young woman “like they didn’t have a care in the world,” Possehl said. Other cars, the neighbor told her, just maneuvered around the crash without stopping to help.
“It was unbelievable,” Possehl said. “She said it was like `The Twilight Zone.”‘ | [

Error when entering the one-time password
If you see the error saying that you have entered an incorrect one-time password, there may be two reasons:
You entered the password at the moment when it has already changed in the app (you can see a circle that gradually decreases to the right of the password — this is the password expiration date). Just enter the new password that appeared in the app.
The date or time on your device (where the one-time password generation app is installed) is not set correctly.
This is important because this is the data used for generating a password.
You can check if the date is correct on this site, for example: https://time100.ru | [

This is a really curious statement, especially when contrasted with JZ Analytics polling data from last week. Of the 9.9 percent of voters who said they were undecided, about 40 percent said they earned $50,000 a year or less. Do you really think undecided voters in middle- and low-income cohorts are going to be drawn to Romney’s harsh rhetoric?
5. “ We speak with voters across the country about their perceptions. Those are the people that I told you—the 5 to 6 or 7 percent that we have to bring to our side. They all voted for Barack Obama four years ago. So, and by the way, when you say to them, ‘Do you think Barack Obama is a failure?’ they overwhelmingly say no. They like him. But when you say, ‘Are you disappointed that his policies haven’t worked?’ they say yes...
“They love the phrase that ‘he’s over his head.’ …The best success I have at speaking with those people is saying, you know, the president has been a disappointment. He told you he'd keep unemployment below 8 percent. Hasn't been below 8 percent since."
Obama made many promises when pushing for his federal stimulus package in 2009, but according to PolitiFact.com, “This rephrases a tired GOP charge that consistently gets Mostly False or worse ratings. Many Republicans have claimed that Obama promised his stimulus package would keep the national unemployment rate below 8 percent. But Obama never made such a vow.” PolitiFact reported that “it came up with a list of 508 pledges of specific action Obama made when he was running for president and monitors how he’s performed on each one. The list does not include any promises to reduce unemployment.” | [

Location: Saginaw, MI - Riverside Park (Interurban)
Riverside Park was located up river from downtown Saginaw. This park was served by the Saginaw & Bay City interurban railroad and owned by them. The park contained amusements and a casino.
From the Street Railway Jourrnal (1905). Up the Saginaw River from the city of Saginaw, a distance of three miles, is the company's Riverside Park, the general plan of which is shown by the accompanying illustration. The casino in this park, in which is produced a continuous vaudeville performance, has a seating capacity of 1,500 persons, and is operated in a similar manner to the Wenona Beach Park casino. This park has a large number of the usual entertainment features. Both of the company's parks are operated by a park manager, who reports to the general manager of the combined properties. | [

Whilst previous warnings about climate change have stemmed from the need for businesses to adapt and become more resilient to its effects, a former senior Bank of England official warns that the financial impacts of climate change may hit global markets directly. Businesses are advised to rethink their climate change risk exposure.
Following the sterling’s fall after the announcement of a timetable for Brexit this month, the former deputy head of the U.K.’s Prudential Regulation Authority, Paul Fisher, warned in an interview with Bloomberg that climate change could be the trigger for the next financial crisis.
In 2015, renewables surpassed coal to become the largest cumulative share of global power capacity, and this impressive growth will continue over the next five years. Despite lower fossil fuel prices, renewable power expanded at its fastest-ever rate in 2015. Enhanced policy support in key markets, technology improvements and sharp cost reductions all contributed to renewables now accounting for more than half of the world’s additional electricity capacity. Yet, wind and solar energy producers and distributors face unique challenges in both volumetric and price risks. The remarkable progress being made in renewables requires innovative risk mitigation solutions in order to ensure that the pace of investments continues.
The International Energy Agency (IEA) announced this week that renewables have now surpassed coal as the largest source of installed power capacity in the world. Renewable energy now represents more than half the new power capacity around the world, reaching a record 153 gigawatts (GW), 15% more than the previous year. Record additions in both onshore wind and solar photovoltaics (PV), include approximately a half million solar panels being installed every day around the world last year, and in China, two wind turbines installed every hour in 2015. Contributing to the growth of renewables has been the sharp decline in costs. Average global generation costs for new onshore wind farms fell by an estimated 30 percent in the last five years, and costs for large solar panel plants fell by two-thirds.
The unexpected role of the insurance industry in reducing harmful chemicals in the food supply
Raw rolled oats and grains, fruits, seeds or nuts… On the face of it, muesli is the ultimate healthy breakfast choice, enough to make one positively smug about one’s clean living. But take a closer look, and that Instagram-worthy dish may in fact be a lethal cocktail of cancer-causing endocrine disruptors, no matter that the box guarantees 100% natural ingredients. In the fight to safeguard your health, could it be that risk managers are the unlikely champions that agri-business needs to safeguard your health?
According to a recent study, the majority of (non-organic) packaged muesli cereals, touted for being high fibre, low calorie and rich in antioxidants, protein and omega-3 fatty acids, are far from being the healthy start to the day they claim to be. Rather, the French environmental group “Generations Futures”, recently conducted a study of popular muesli cereals sold at supermarkets under reputable brand names to ascertain whether they contained any traces of chemic products. Taking 15 non-organic and 5 organic muesli cereals to their laboratory, the results were shocking: 100% of non-organic muesli samples contained pesticide residuals.
Effects of climate change mean unexpected new winners, and losers, in finance.
In what may be viewed as a fable for the times, scientists are looking to climate data to explain how traditional safe burrows have become hunting grounds and food chains have been upended. Risk managers are struggling with the same, confronted with the unexpected new threats, and opportunities, arising from the effects of climate change.
In a shocking twist that is baffling scientists, the cat is not only getting the mice, but the catfish is too. Whilst the hunt of mice by cats has become an idiom for the constant pursuit of one’s prey, it was hardly to be expected that this cartoonish relationship would one day extend to catfish too. Yet, in an article recently published by the scientific journal “Journal of Arid Environments”, Australian researchers have the grisly evidence, having discovered the bodies of Notomys alexis, or Spinifex hopping mice, in the stomachs of almost half of the lesser salmon cat-fish sampled in the Ashburton River of Northwest Australia. | [

MANILA, Philippines — The active low pressure area east of northern Luzon intensified Wednesday into a tropical depression named “Dodong” that is expected to further intensity within the next 6 to 12 hours, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said.
Dodong was tracked 290 kilometers east of Basco, Batanes late Wednesday morning and was packing maximum winds of 55 kilometers per hour (kph) as it traveled northwest at 19 kph.
Tropical storm “Chedeng” (international codename Pabuk), on the other hand, has left southern Taiwan and is heading towards mainland China.
Public storm warning signal No. 1, meaning winds of from 30 to 60 kph remained hoisted over Batanes and the Babuyan islands.
PAGASA said Dodong would continue to enhance the southwest monsoon, bringing rains over Luzon, particularly the island’s western section.
People in low lying areas were advised to take precautions against possible flashfloods and landslides while those living in coastal areas under signal No. 1 have been alerted against large waves. | [

What some people may not realise when getting a vacation rental in Barbados, is that the island is big on a range of sports. Surprisingly, the number one sport that the island is known for is its cricket. The island is well known in the Caribbean for its sports tourism, and the locals demonstrate a passion for a range of activities such as polo, water sports, horse riding, track and field, tennis and golf to name just a few others. This passion, as well as an abundance of sporting history, had lead to a number of excellence sporting facilities cropping up over the island, and the locals take part in a number of international competitions.
Organised cricket started to take place in Barbados back in 1892, and today the sport is played all year round. There are a number of cricket grounds, but the most well-known is the Kensington Oval, which is in Bridgetown. For many, cricket is not just a hobby, but a way of life, so no matter what time of year you decide to get a Caribbean villa, Chances are there will be some sort of match taking place in the Oval. Over the years, a number of Barbadian players have become well known for their skill on the pitch.
The south coast of the island is the perfect place to get a vacation home in Barbados if you are looking to find that perfect wave. People come from all over the world to surf the south coast surf, with the most consistent breaks found at South Point and Brandon’s. November to June is the best time for surfing in Barbados, and at low tide, as it is here that the waves come in very quickly.
The island of Barbados is home to 5 PGA Standard golf courses, many which have some lovely Caribbean luxury villas located around them. As well as just playing for fun, visitors are also eligible to take part in a number of competitions during their stay such as the Barbados Open and the Festival of Golf.
The island continues to attract a number of professional and recreational sailors every year, who come to take in the beautiful sights and make use of the number of sailing facilities. The conditions are often labelled ‘champagne sailing’, and due to this a number of World Sailing Championships have been held in Barbados. Sailor or not, there are many sailing festivities to take part in or watch throughout the year. | [

Animals at risk in Nanaimo

British Columbia needs to live up to its slogan as the ‘Best Place on Earth’ by creating endangered species legislation, several environmental groups say.
The David Suzuki Foundation, ForestEthics, Wilderness Committee and Ecojustice have all partnered on a tongue-in-cheek campaign called The Last Place on Earth, referring to B.C.’s Wildlife Act that fails to address species at risk.
“Compared with every other industrialized nation and region in the world, B.C. sticks out like a sore thumb for not having an endangered species law,” said Sean Nixon, a lawyer with Ecojustice. “We have the richest biodiversity in Canada and no law to protect it.”
Trudy Chatwick, a Nanaimo-based Ministry of Environment biologist specializing in endangered species, said Nanaimo is not exempt from species at risk.
She said there are many forms of plant and animals here that are considered endangered or under stress, including the Vesper sparrows by the airport and the red-legged frog being pushed out by the bullfrog on the southern portion of the Island.
The bird’s foot trefoil is a plant of special concern in the Harewood meadows, but that matter is complicated because it is private land.
The Great Blue Heron is another species found in Nanaimo and across the province that is under population stress. One heron was recently found caught in a snare trap at Westwood Lake.
“These species are facing real challenges and we have to find ways to help them and protect them,” said Chatwick.
The subject has been accelerated with the probable deaths of seven female killer whales from the southern resident pod.
Those whales likely died from starvation due to low salmon counts and biologists are pushing the federal government to include southern and northern Vancouver Island pods in the Canada’s Species at Risk Act.
The deaths account for a 10-per cent drop in the southern resident population.
B.C. is the most biodiverse region in Canada both on land and in the water. It is home to 70 per cent of Canada’s freshwater species, 76 per cent of the country’s bird species and home to more than 3,600 plant and animal species, many of which only live here.
According to recent statistics, 1,640 species in B.C. – 43 per cent – are at risk.
Of those, just four are recognized by B.C.’s Wildlife Act – the burrowing owl, Vancouver Island Marmot, American white pelican and the sea otter.
Faisal Moola, director of science for the David Suzuki Foundation, said anything short of a standalone endangered species act is a risk to biodiversity in B.C.
“More than a dozen species have disappeared from our province and the casualty list is growing in length and urgency,” he said in a press release. “With more biodiversity than any other province, B.C. is an ark for wildlife, but until we have regulation... that ark is sinking fast.”
The Last Place On Earth website can be found at http://www.lastplaceonearth.ca.
Herons are among a number of species that would benefit from provincial endangered species legislation, environmental groups say.

I have noticed three ways that men look to women.
This is understandable. Our society teaches boys that their purpose is to please their mothers and mostly-female school teachers. (Most boys spend less time with their fathers and male teachers, and find these men easier to please. So the meaningful standard is pleasing women.)
Some men look at women as a kind of mirror. I mention this in my essay about kinds of flirting. "He is using the woman's visible response, or lack thereof, to check whether he is attractive. Doing this is the male equivalent of women looking in mirror before leaving the house."
This is also understandable. Our society put boys and men together when they share a common project. They gather because of a job or hobby, not because they are attractive enough to warrant each other's company. If a man wonders if he is socially attractive, he needs a women to make that question meaningful, let alone answer it.
Some men view women like they do sunrises. Sunrises can be very beautiful. They can inspire someone to be proactive, to be bright and energetic, and to enjoy life. There is no shame in looking deeply at a sunrise to appreciate it deeply. But no one looks at a sunrise and thinks I want that! There is no need to claim or own a sunrise. There will be plenty of other sunrises.
This is also understandable. Mot men naturally find feminine energy to be motivating and invigorating.
Of course, none of these three are scriptural.
We should seek to please God, not other people. Well done, my good and faithful servant.
We should seek approval from God, not affirmation that other people find us socially attractive. So we speak, not to please man, but to please God who tests our hearts.
We should be inspired by who God is, what he has done, and what he desires for us, not by the energy other people radiate. May the Lord bless you, and keep you, and make his face shine upon you.
All this gives me two questions.
- As a man, how should I instead view women?
- As a father, how can I raise my boys to look to God instead of to people (especially women)?
I have answers to those two questions.
But I know there are more and deeper answers. So I think more, and pray more. | [

This is a solid example of an original dewat (deactivated) WWI 1915 French “Chauchat” machine gun, chambered for the 8mm Lebel cartridge, While called a machine gun by our terms, it is actually called an automatic rifle by the French. It was one of several type of squad level machine guns used by the French throughout WWI. It has a very unique operating mechanism in that it has a rotating bolt or bolt head during the locking and unlocking mode similar to a Johnson rifle and can be fired in both the fully automatic and semi-automatic fashion like the Browning BAR. It operates in a direct blow back manner that uses a long-recoil type mechanism, mounted on top and to the rear of the receiver itself and is feed from a large curved type magazine fitted to the bottom of the weapon. Throughout the war it never proved itself as a very reliable machine gun as the side of the magazine, the opening for the operating rod and bolt area were all exposed to dirt and debris from the battlefields, causing it to jam. The left side of the receiver is marked “Sidarme”, along with “C.S.R.G. along with the serial number, next to a small boxed “SA” proof indicating capture or use by the Finnish Army at some point. It has a walnut stock, pistol grip and forward support handle with a fixed front sight with a fully adjustable rear sight that has been fitted with a anti-aircraft aiming circle.
Conditionis very good overall with most of the original blue finish remaining overall, with some areas showing mottling and handling marks. The stock, pistol grip and forward grip handle are all in good to very good condition showing a few pressure dents and dings in some places. It has been Dewated by welding a plug in the breech end of the barrel and the face of the bolt, leaving the markings clear and sharp, with internal welds allowing the magazine to be removed, and the action “cock and click” to the old specifications. (Grandfathered). The rifle is complete with it’s bipod, the original issue WW1 sling and field bag, 2 extra magazines (all pinned), the anti-aircraft sight, pull through cleaning cloth, armourers tool, and 5 rounds of period ammunition, made to be inert. A very rare firearm in better than average condition.
Dewat. No PAL or registration required. | [

Tom Holland has been on a good run in the industry for playing Spider-Man. This 26-years old actor already got his trilogy and performed fascinatingly in all three of his successful solo Spider-Man movies.
First, he appeared in Captain America: Civil War, then Avengers: Infinity War, and Avengers: Endgame to help his character get integrated into the MCU.
As a relatively young celebrity, he has done quite well. Therefore, since his debut in the MCU, fans have started wondering about his net worth and how much money he makes from Spider-Man and other MCU films.
Tom Holland has already starred in three Spider-Man movies with Disney and Sony (owned by Marvel). His first movie was Spider-Man: Homecoming in 2017, and he made $500,000 from his first Spider-Man film.
Then, the second movie was Spider-Man: Far From Home in 2019, and he earned $4-$5 Million with $1.5 Million bonuses for the second installment.
Finally, in 2021 the final movie of the trilogy Spider-Man: No Way Home has arrived and still doing exceptional business in the global market.
He has also taken the same amount for Spider-Man: No Way Home. Though $4-$5 Million seems like a huge amount when you compare this with other Marvel actors and actresses, then you’ll understand it is not that much.
Tom Holland started his journey with MCU as Spider-Man in Captain America: Civil War in 2016. He then starred in two other MCU movies: Avengers: Infinity War in 2018 and Avengers: Endgame in 2019.
These three movies got him the base as a Spider-Man, and by standing on which he later delivered three Spider-Man solo movies. He even made a cameo in the latest sequel of Venom, that is Venom: Let there be carnage.
He got $250,000 for his role in Captain America: Civil War, which was his introduction as a new Spider-Man in MCU.
He made a huge amount of $3 Million each from Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. Though he still can’t reach the amount that other Marvel actors get, he is still doing fine out there financially.
Tom Holland’s net worth has been increasing day by day since he joined MCU as Spider-Man. The latest release of MCU, Spider-Man: No Way Home, has taken him to the top of the world. People are still watching this movie on the big screen. Box office collections are breaking records every minute.
His net worth saw a high jump after every release during his six MCU movies. Currently, Tom Holland’s net worth is $18 Million in 2022. And the number isn’t going to slow down at all because he has a packed schedule for movies in the future as well.
Tom Holland has recreated the role of our friendly neighborhood Spider-Man quite nicely on the big screen. People are showering him with love and fame for his role as Peter Parker.
He is earning big money from the movies as well for his popularity. So, we can say that his net worth will be rising for a few years ahead.

Cargo capacities equal to passenger capacities
When allowing passenger trams to haul cargo, cargo capacity is equal to passenger capacity. For example if a tram can haul 100 passengers in a single car, it can also haul 100 metric tons of cargo. I'm reasonably sure passengers don't weigh 1 ton each. For those vehicles that do not have a noted cargo capacity, it should be assumed that cargo capacity is equal to passenger capacity multiplied by 80 kg. For a 100 passenger vehicle the cargo capacity should be 8 Mt, and this number should be well below the actual weight of the vehicle according to the tracking table.
#3 Updated by foobar almost 5 years ago
- Status changed from New to Feedback
Decided to go with a factor 16 instead of 13. 16 is the default TTD factor (a passenger in TTD weighs 62.5 kg (137.8 lbs)). This way I can read the correct factor for each cargo from the game, rather than hardcoding them. Therefore automatically supporting industry sets which define new cargo types. | [

New lockdown measures have come into force in the West Midlands after the number of coronavirus cases rose.
People in Birmingham, Sandwell and Solihull are banned from meeting others who are not part of their household or support bubble, in homes or gardens.
came into force on Monday.
The council leader for Birmingham said on Friday the virus had not “weakened”, calling it “relentless”.
West Midlands mayor Andy Street warned people they must comply with new restrictions or face even tougher measures.
“Everybody now has to comply with these to give us the best chance.”
Birmingham City Council said people could still go out to shops, restaurants and other venues, in a maximum group of six from more than one household, but told people to be “vigilant”.
Council leader Ian Ward said data showed “the infection rate has risen mainly due to social interactions, particularly private household gatherings”.
Figures show the rate of cases per 100,000 in Birmingham to the week to 11 September was 82, for Solihull the figure was 71.2 and Sandwell stood at 64.2.

I once heard it said that fear is false evidence appearing real. It goes without saying that fear is only in our mind it’s not something that has substance. It can be overcome by looking at your reality. Think about it you trained and practiced for this day you made all the effort put all of your energy into one thing. You have become an excellent sales professional what is there to be afraid of. | [

PREMIUM UK and international residential estate agency Hamptons International has announced an official corporate partnership with the country’s leading cancer
PREMIUM UK and international residential estate agency Hamptons International has announced an official corporate partnership with the country’s leading cancer charity, Cancer Research UK. As part of the partnership Hamptons International, which has a branch in Henley’s Hart Street, is hoping to raise £100,000 for the charity by the end of 2013.
Staff at Hamptons International will partake in various fund-raising events throughout the year, such as Race for Life, night-time walking marathon Shine and a company-wide ‘Bake Off’. Employees will also be encouraged to spearhead their own local fund-raising initiatives to raise awareness and help reach the overall target. Whilst leading local campaigns, charity ambassadors throughout Hamptons International will be taken on tours of Cancer Research UK’s laboratories so that they can gain a sense of the scientific research that underpins the organisation.
Marc Goldberg, head of sales at Hamptons International says: “Cancer Research UK is a charity which is already very close to our hearts. With one in three people affected by cancer during their lifetime it will be no surprise to hear that as a business we have many staff members that have been touched by the disease in one way or another. It is those individuals we have lost, those who are fighting the disease and all that have beaten it who have inspired us to partner up with Cancer Research UK and join in the fight to beat cancer for good.
“We are looking forward to the year ahead and are dedicated to reaching our £100,000 fund-raising target.”
With 28 Hamptons International branches across the country located within a five-minute walk of a Cancer Research UK charity shop, the links with the charity are synonymous. Staff will be dedicating their time throughout the year to help in their local Cancer Research UK shop.
Staff will also encourage vendors, landlords and applicants to de-clutter their homes before moving and donate items to a Cancer Research UK shop.
Caroline Silke, Head of Corporate Partnerships at Cancer Research UK says: “We’re thrilled to be working with Hamptons International this year. Through the partnership, we hope to raise a huge amount of money for our pioneering research into cancer, bringing forward the day when all cancers are cured.”

I’ve had some really good experiences with some of the iTunes Original collections, which include a mix of pre-existing songs, original versions of hits and artist narrations. I’ve especially enjoyed the iTunes Originals with Rob Thomas. This weekend, I picked up my first iTunes Exclusive Live Sessions mix. The Live Sessions series at 5 or 6 songs per collection offers only about half the music of your average Original collection but, as the title indicates, it’s all live music.
Since I’ve downloaded the Five for Fighting Live Session from iTunes, I have not been able to get the music off of my mind. I’ve been listening to Five for Fighting since their first CD, which accompanied my wife and I on a memorable trip down the US West Coast. Even if you can’t associate the Five for Fighting name with a particular song, it’s fairly likely that you’ve heard their music since it gets a good amount of radio play and has found favor with a number of TV commercial producers.
Granted, you are not going to get any original music here but what you do get is Five for Fighting’s best material done live in a pure acoustic (piano and guitar) format. The album is tight and the recording quality is superb. Artist narration, storytelling, and interludes are edited out except for one story about the writing of the song Two Lights which really accentuates that piece. At about $5 for the collection, you really can’t go wrong with this one whether you are an old fan or someone simply looking to pick up some great music to listen to. | [

Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases Publishes Pivotal Phase 3 Study Demonstrating Efficacy and Safety of RAYOS(R) (Delayed-Release Prednisone) in Combination With DMARD Therapy in Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients
DEERFIELD, IL -- (Marketwire) -- 05/07/12 -- Horizon Pharma, Inc. (NASDAQ: HZNP) today announced that the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases has published results from the CAPRA-2 (Circadian Administration of Prednisone in Rheumatoid Arthritis-2) U.S. registration study, which demonstrated that patients with active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) treated with RAYOS® in addition to ongoing disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug (DMARD) therapy experienced a statistically significant improvement in American College of Rheumatology (ACR) response criteria compared to placebo plus DMARD therapy. Results from this study were previously presented at the American College of Rheumatology Annual Scientific Meeting in 2010.
"For many RA patients, the most common disease symptoms including swollen and tender joints and stiffness occur in the morning," said Dr. Frank Buttgereit, principal investigator of the study, senior consultant and deputy head of the Department of Rheumatology and Clinical Immunology, Charité Hospital, Berlin, Germany. "The results from the CAPRA-2 study demonstrate that RAYOS, which is administered prior to bedtime, shows clinically and statistically significant reduction of these symptoms compared to placebo, which may provide patients relief upon awakening when their symptoms may be at their worst."
The 350-patient CAPRA-2 study was a 12-week, double blind, placebo-controlled trial evaluating RAYOS compared to placebo in patients with active RA who were receiving ongoing DMARD therapy. Eligible patients were randomized 2:1 to receive 5 mg RAYOS (N=231) or placebo (N=119) once daily, taken with or after their evening meal, in addition to their standard RA treatment. The primary endpoint of the study was ACR 20 response rate, which signifies a 20 percent improvement in tender and swollen joint counts, as well as other criteria, at week 12. A key secondary endpoint was relative reduction of the duration of morning stiffness associated with RA at week 12.
ACR 20 responses were statistically significant for patients treated with RAYOS and DMARD (48 percent) compared to patients treated with placebo and DMARD (29 percent, p < 0.001). In addition, ACR 50 response, which signifies a 50 percent improvement, was also statistically significant for patients treated with RAYOS (22 percent) compared to patients treated with placebo (10 percent, p=0.006). The greater median relative reduction in the duration of morning stiffness compared to baseline (154 minutes) was 55 percent for RAYOS patients and 35 percent for placebo patients at week 12, which was also statistically significant (p < 0.002).
Significantly greater reductions in severity of RA (Disease Activity Score 28) (p < 0.001) and fatigue (Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy - Fatigue score) (p=0.003) as well as a greater improvement in physical function (36-item Short-Form Health Survey score) (p < 0.001) were seen at week 12 for RAYOS patients compared to placebo patients.
In this study, the incidence of adverse events was slightly lower in the RAYOS group compared to the placebo group (43 percent versus 49 percent) and most events were mild or moderate in severity. The most commonly reported treatment-emergent adverse events reported with RAYOS were arthralgia (10.4 percent for RAYOS compared to 20.2 percent for placebo), RA flare (6.5 percent for RAYOS compared to 9.2 for placebo), nasopharyngitis (4.8 percent for RAYOS compared to 3.4 percent for placebo) and headache (3.9 percent for RAYOS compared to 4.2 percent for placebo).
RA occurs when the body's immune system malfunctions, attacking healthy tissue and causing inflammation, which leads to pain and swelling in the joints, and may eventually cause permanent joint damage and painful disability. The primary symptoms of RA include progressive immobility and pain, especially in the morning, with long-term sufferers experiencing continual joint destruction for the remainder of their lives.
Outside the United States, LODOTRA is approved for the treatment of moderate to severe active RA when accompanied by morning stiffness in 16 European countries and Israel and is marketed in Europe through Horizon's distribution partner Mundipharma International Corporation Limited, who also has commercial rights in certain Asian and Latin American countries. Approval in Europe was based on the CAPRA-1 study, which was a 12-week, double-blind, placebo controlled study evaluating 288 RA patients. CAPRA-1 compared the night-time administration | [

Oil And Natural Gas Corporation news
State-owned ONGC's net profit in three-months to March 31, 2018, jumped 37 per cent on back of higher oil prices.
Moody's estimated a capex of USD 7-7.5 billion for ONGC in the year to March 2019.
The company said in a statement, of the 503 wells drilled last financial year, 119 were exploratory and 384 were development wells.
India has also set the ceiling price for gas to be produced from difficult fields at $6.78 during April to September compared with $6.30 per mmBtu in the previous six months, the website of the Petroleum Planning and Analysis Cell of the oil ministry showed.
State-owned Oil and Natural Gas Corp may sell stake in its mega petrochemical project in Gujarat to fund acquisition of Hindustan Petroleum Corp Ltd (HPCL), a senior official said.
He will look after oil and gas production from ONGC’s offshore fields that contribute 70% and 78% of ONGC’s domestic crude oil and gas production respectively.
Those working at the time of the blast mostly included daily labourers and contract workers. Tuesday being a holiday, no regular workers of the shipyard were present.
The protestors alleged that hectares of fertile lands in and around the Kadambangudi village had lost its fertility and groundwater table had been depleting, due to ongoing extraction work by the ONGC.
Before joining as Director (Finance) of ONGC, Kumar served a brief stint with Petronet LNG Limited where he had joined as Director (Finance) in August last year.
The minister had appealed to the general public and farmers at an event in Mayiladuthurai in Nagapattinam to cooperate with ONGC’s efforts to utilise the abundant natural resources available in the state.
Essar Oilfields Services is expected to post a revenue of Rs 300 crore for the current financial year ending March, the firm said in a statement.
Addressing a press conference here, the ONGC CMD said they are hopeful of completing the transaction by January end.
He added minority shareholders should continue to be invested in the company as benefits arising from the vertical integration will benefit them in the long term.
Shares of major oil marketing companies, including Hindustan Petroleum Corporation (down 1.06 per cent), Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (down 0.70 per cent) and Indian Oil Corporation (down 0.56 per cent) declined up to 1 per cent in morning trade on Friday on soaring global crude oil prices.
Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) has been preparing to execute oil and natural gas exploratory wells at Thannanjaru village in Nannilam in the district.
At a meeting with officials of the state government, education department, ONGC and THDC, Chief Secretary U K Singh said the amount being given by these firms for the purpose is not in accordance with their stature.
A bench of Acting Chief Justice Gita Mittal and Justice C Hari Shankar heard arguments for several hours on behalf of the Centre and an NGO, which had moved the petition, and said it will pass orders on November 8 on whether notice has to be issued in the matter. | [

A record-breaking sea turtle nesting season has led to flotillas of hatchlings emerging daily from nests on Anna Maria Island beaches.
As of Aug. 13, Anna Maria Island Turtle Watch and Shorebird Monitoring reported 165 hatched nests with about 11,745 hatchlings making their way to the Gulf of Mexico.
With each nest containing about 100 eggs, turtle watch volunteers are staying busy collecting data from the hatched nests.
Volunteers with AMITW walk the beach each morning just after sunrise to search for tracks left the night before by nesting female sea turtles or hatchlings.
According to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, when a nest is determined hatched, AMITW volunteers must wait 72 hours to excavate or dig into the nest to determine how many eggs hatched, didn’t hatch, or if there are live hatchlings remaining in the nest.
Turtle watch then ensures the remaining hatchlings make their way to the Gulf.
Excavations usually take place around sunrise or sunset, when the risk of dehydration or predation is lower for any hatchlings they may be discovered in the nest.
The public is invited to observe excavations and ask the volunteers questions about their work with sea turtles.
“It’s a great opportunity for people to see what we do and learn about the turtles,” Annie Camp, AMITW section 6 coordinator said Aug. 9.
Since the beginning of August, the moon has been bright and low over the Gulf, attracting hatchling sea turtles to their home in the water, according to Suzi Fox, AMITW executive director.
After nesting or hatching, adult and hatchling sea turtles are drawn by their instincts to the Gulf of Mexico by the reflection of light on the water’s surface.
Disorientations can occur when lights visible from the shoreline attract turtles away from the water, making them vulnerable to predators, exhaustion or dehydration.
Fox is concerned that when the moon’s light starts to wane toward the end of the month, hatchlings may disorient away from the water.
“As soon as that moon is gone, they may head inland, because the brightest light visible from the shoreline will be upland,” Fox said Aug. 7.
Fox works with code enforcement in Anna Maria, Bradenton Beach and Holmes Beach to ensure beachfront lighting is turtle-friendly and beach furniture is removed at the end of the day.
Fox said people have been doing a great job keeping the beach clean and complying with lighting regulations.
“The beach has been looking great,” Fox said. “This month is peak hatchling season. So, now is the most important time to make sure you’re beachfront lights are compliant and beach trash is picked up.”
For more information about AMITW, contact executive director Suzi Fox at [email protected] or 941-778-5638.
Sea turtle disorientation rate drops in Holmes Beach
With 477 nests as of Aug. 13, Holmes Beach has the highest number of sea turtle nests on Anna Maria Island.
More nests means more hatchlings, and Anna Maria Island Turtle Watch executive director Suzi Fox was concerned with the rising number of disorientations as nests started hatching in Holmes Beach in July.
Fox has been working with Holmes Beach code enforcement to bring lights into compliance with sea turtle regulations and inform people of turtle-friendly practices.
As of Aug. 6, no new disorientations — which typically occur when lights visible from the shoreline attract turtles away from the water — were reported by turtle watch in Holmes Beach.
“We are very happy that no new disorientations have been reported in Holmes Beach,” Holmes Beach Police Chief Bill Tokajer said Aug. 8. “We are working with turtle watch to ensure everyone is in compliance with lighting and knows to remove beach furniture at the end of the day.” | [

Governor Deval Patrick is moving forward with funding to support the design of a multi-use trail on the former Boston & Maine Railroad corridor in Wakefield and Lynnfield.
This first stage of the project will design a multi-use path along 4.4 miles beginning near Galvin Middle School on Main Street in Wakefield and continuing through Lynnfield and the Reedy Meadow to the Peabody town line. The path will connect residential neighborhoods, commercial and recreational areas, schools, the Reedy Meadow National Natural Landmark, and the MBTA station in Wakefield.
MassDOT will work with the communities of Wakefield and Lynnfield to initiate the funding and develop the necessary parameters for the project design. Community officials are working with the MBTA, rail corridor owners, on a long term lease. Learn more about MassDOT's commitment to healthy transportation alternatives.

Which is the best, most eco-friendly form of renewable energy? Most of us would probably guess hydroelectric. Unlike wind it doesn’t blight views, chop up birds or drive neighbours mad with humming; unlike solar, hydro installations do not appear so dependent on massive public subsidy. Plus, of course, we live in a land of rivers and rain so it makes sense to harness all that free, carbon-neutral energy.
The Environment Agency certainly thinks so. Out of 26,000 possible in--river sites around the country, it has listed 4,000 as ideally suited to hydro power development, and is licensing up to three a week. Already, around 17 per cent of the world’s electricity and 90 per cent of renewable power comes from hydro. | [

- Ancient Greeks believed that fire, air, water, and earth were the four elements of the universe.
- Plato associated these four elements with 3D geometrical solids.
- Pythagoras may have believed that the right triangle formed the basis of all reality.
In Plato’s dialogue, the Timaeus, we are presented with the theory that the cosmos is constructed out of right triangles.
This proposal Timaeus makes after reminding his audience [49Bff] that earlier theories that posited “water” (proposed by Thales), or “air” (proposed by Anaximenes), or “fire” (proposed by Heraclitus) as the original stuff from which the whole cosmos was created ran into an objection: if our world is full of these divergent appearances, how could we identify any one of these candidates as the basic stuff? For if there is fire at the stove, liquid in my cup, breathable invisible air, and temples made of hard stone — and they are all basically only one fundamental stuff — how are we to decide among them which is most basic?
A cosmos of geometry
However, if the basic underlying unity out of which the cosmos is made turns out to be right triangles, then proposing this underlying structure — i.e., the structure of fire, earth, air, and water — might overcome that objection. Here is what Timaeus proposes:
“In the first place, then, it is of course obvious to anyone, that fire, earth, water, and air are bodies; and all bodies have volume. Volume, moreover, must be bounded by surface, and every surface that is rectilinear is composed of triangles. Now all triangles are derived from two [i.e., scalene and isosceles], each having one right angle and the other angles acute… This we assume as the first beginning of fire and the other bodies, following the account that combines likelihood with necessity…” [Plato. Timaeus 53Cff]
A little later in that dialogue, Timaeus proposes further that from the right triangles, scalene and isosceles, the elements are built — we might call them molecules. If we place on a flat surface equilateral triangles, equilateral rectangles (i.e., squares), equilateral pentagons, and so on, and then determine which combinations “fold-up,” Plato shows us the discovery of the five regular solids — sometimes called the Platonic solids.
Three, four, and five equilateral triangles will fold up, and so will three squares and three pentagons.
If the combination of figures around a point sum to four right angles or more, they will not fold up. For the time being, I will leave off the dodecahedron (or combination of three pentagons that makes the “whole” into which the elements fit) to focus on the four elements: tetrahedron (fire), octahedron (air), icosahedron (water), and hexahedron (earth).
Everything is a right triangle
Now, to elaborate on the argument [53C], I propose to show using diagrams how the right triangle is the fundamental geometrical figure.
All figures can be dissected into triangles. (This is known to contemporary mathematicians as tessellation, or tiling, with triangles.)
Inside every species of triangle — equilateral, isosceles, scalene — there are two right triangles. We can see this by dropping a perpendicular from the vertex to the opposite side.
Inside every right triangle — if you divide from the right angle — we discover two similar right triangles, ad infinitum. Triangles are similar when they are the same shape but different size.
And thus, we arrive at Timaeus’ proposal that the right triangle is the fundamental geometrical figure, in its two species, scalene and isosceles, that contain within themselves an endless dissection into similar right triangles.
Now, no one can propose that the cosmos is made out of right triangles without a proof — a compelling line of reasoning — to show that the right triangle is the fundamental geometrical figure. Timaeus comes from Locri, southern Italy, a region where Pythagoras emigrated and Empedocles and Alcmaon lived. The Pythagoreans are a likely source of inspiration in this passage but not the other two. What proof known at this time showed that it was the right triangle? Could it have been the Pythagorean theorem?
Pythagorean theorem goes beyond squares
We now know that there are more than 400 different proofs of the famous theorem. Does one of them show that the right triangle is the basic geometrical figure? Be sure, it could not be a² + b² = c² because this is algebra, and the Greeks did not have algebra! A more promising source — the proof by similar right triangles — is the proof preserved at VI.31.

Ever try a peanut butter and jelly burrito? You just might find out it’s wonderful—especially if you read Marisol MacDonald Doesn’t Match/ Mariso McDonald No Combina.
Red-head Marisol McDonald is a little bit of everything. ¡Un poco de todo!
A little Peruvian. A little Scottish. The thing she likes best is not matching—at all.
Written by beloved Latino picture book author Monica Brown, this is a bi-lingual romp that celebrates being multi-cultural but also being true to your own originality. Marisol is a combination of things, so why not make room for all the things that don’t normally go together in her world?
The text is offered in Spanish and English—a great way to brush up on your language skills—and the illustrations feature children across all ethnicities. Two of my other favorite books by Monica Brown that feature strong girls are her picture book biographies. Try Me Llamo Celia: The Life of Celia Cruz, and My Name is Gabriela: The Life of Gabriela Mistral. – Meg

Set in Mauritania, West Africa, Deep in the Sahara explores how multiple generations of family can help us grow in faith and in understanding of ourselves and the world. In a graceful story of growing up, author Kelly Cunnane and illustrator Hoda Hadai explore a young Muslim girl’s desire to emulate the women around her by wearing a traditional veil, but first, she must come to understand its meaning.
Lalla wants to wear a malafa. She sees Mama and her sister, Selma, wearing colorful, expressive veils and wants to be just like them. Cousin Aisha wears one, too, but she says Lalla is too young—just a child. From Grandmother, Lalla learns that a malafa stands for far more than beauty or mystery, and even more than old tradition.
The experience of girls learning from the women around them transcends country or culture or religious tradition. The story made me remember how, as a five-year-old, I begged to sit in “big church” with my Grammy and Aunt Mary instead of going to Sunday School.
With Deep in the Sahara, the author and illustrator transport readers across the globe to West Africa and, once there, make us feel right at home in Lalla’s family. This is a beautiful book in every way. Back matter includes an author’s note and a glossary of included Hassaniya language (a dialect of Arabic). – Gigi

I love the story called Meet Danitra Brown
about two best friends scootin’ around town.
I’ve read it 100 times, memorized all the rhymes.
Danitra and Zuri don’t care about boys
who tease and taunt and make too much noise.
They just walk on by, heads tilted high.
The story unfolds wholly in rhymes,
written by Miz Nikki Grimes.
Poems short and long, words sweep you along.
That nice Floyd Cooper drew the book.
He gave Danitra a snazzy, summer look.
To purple she’s always loyal, because purple is simply royal.
The story makes me so happy to see
girls who can say, I love being me!
You oughta read Meet Danitra Brown, because she’s the most “splendiferous” girl in town.

Following Britain’s Lead, Controversial Munitions Aim to Aid Kyiv’s Push Against Russian Forces
In a move echoing Britain’s earlier decision, the United States recently confirmed its plans to dispatch depleted uranium anti-tank rounds to Ukraine. These munitions, intended to bolster Kyiv’s counteroffensive efforts against Russian forces, will equip the 31 M1A1 Abrams tanks scheduled for delivery in the coming fall.
Depleted uranium rounds, a legacy of the Cold War era, were initially designed by the United States to neutralize Soviet tanks, including the T-72 models, the same tanks the Ukrainian forces are now facing in their counteroffensive efforts. While retaining some radioactive properties, they lack the capacity to trigger a nuclear reaction akin to a nuclear weapon, clarified RAND Corp nuclear expert Edward Geist.
Russia’s previous unfounded assertions, claiming these rounds bear nuclear components, have prompted concerns about potential escalations. President Vladimir Putin has, in the past, hinted at the possibility of using atomic weapons in the conflict.
Understanding Depleted Uranium Ammunition
Composition and Lethality
Depleted uranium emerges as a byproduct of uranium enrichment for nuclear weaponry. It is a heavy, dense, and highly stable metal that, despite its inability to generate atomic reactions, boasts exceptional characteristics that make it highly suitable for use in armor-piercing ammunition and other military applications.
This quality renders it a highly effective projectile, an even better option than lead. When discharged, a depleted uranium munition transforms into a high-speed, dense dart capable of piercing armor. On impact, it promptly incinerates, generating intense heat that ignites surrounding materials.
While not classified as nuclear weapons, depleted uranium munitions do emit low levels of radiation—such as radioactive dust and particles during impact, prompting the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to advocate for cautious handling and protective measures.
The IAEA advises minimizing direct contact and wearing appropriate apparel, especially gloves. Inhaling or ingesting aerosolized particles can lead to potential kidney damage. Though most particles are excreted, some may enter the bloodstream, raising concerns about long-term health effects.
Recent studies suggest potential links between depleted uranium exposure and health issues in regions affected by its use. The World Health Organization calls for vigilant monitoring and recommends remediation in areas where contamination surpasses acceptable levels.
Russian Response and Concerns
Unsurprisingly, Russia’s response to the United States’ announcement of sending depleted uranium anti-tank rounds to Ukraine was swift and sharply critical.
President Vladimir Putin, echoing earlier sentiments, warned that the introduction of munitions with a “nuclear component” was a dangerous precedent. Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov went further, characterizing the decision as a perilous step towards escalating the conflict.
Additionally, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov expressed vehement opposition, asserting that prior use of depleted uranium ammunition by the United States had led to a surge in health issues and cancers in affected areas, casting a shadow over the well-being of future generations. Russia’s stance underscores the deep-seated concerns and contentious nature of supplying such munitions in a region already fraught with geopolitical tension.
#Opinion by Maria Zakharova
💬 I would like to remind everyone that the number of cancer cases spiked in the areas where depleted uranium munitions have been used.
— MFA Russia 🇷🇺 (@mfa_russia) September 7, 2023
US Perspective and Controversy
The decision by the United States to provide Ukraine with depleted uranium anti-tank rounds is accompanied by a firm stance defending the use of these munitions. The US military argues that depleted uranium rounds have been an integral component of conventional munitions for several decades, emphasizing their role in safeguarding service members in combat situations. Specifically, these rounds have been instrumental in countering heavily armored targets, such as tanks, a part where their density and piercing capabilities shine.
It’s worth noting that depleted uranium has been incorporated into composite tank armor, which has significantly increased the protection offered to armored vehicles, including tanks. Furthermore, the Air Force’s A-10 close air support attack plane, often referred to as the “tank killer,” also employs depleted uranium munitions to effectively neutralize armored threats on the battlefield.
The United States disclosed its decision to send depleted uranium anti-tank rounds to Ukraine on Wednesday evening, coinciding with a visit to Kyiv by Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
