After more than 10 years in space, the Rosetta spacecraft’s lander touched down on comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko on November 12, 2014, making the Rosetta mission the first to successfully land a spacecraft on a comet’s surface. For the European Space Agency’s Philippe Kletzkine, who served as the lander’s manager, it was a career highlight—the culmination of an ambitious 15-year project that covered more than six billion kilometers and required great patience.
When he joined the Rosetta team in 2000, the challenges were formidable. “Remember, all this was done with 1990s technology and a limited budget,” Kletzkine says. “The greatest difficulty was to design to an unknown environment. How do you specify the elements of a landing gear when you don’t know whether you will land on compact hard rock, porous terrain, or fluffy regolith? We did not even know what the gravity field of the comet would be like.”
The journey included a 31-month spacecraft hibernation designed to conserve energy and a tense moment during landing when the two harpoons on the lander, known as Philae, could not anchor in the surface and the lander settled under a cliff. That will make it more difficult to recharge the secondary battery using solar panels when the primary is empty.
“Philae is likely to have settled down quite far from the original touchdown but still in good health and attitude,” Kletzkine says. “The drawback is that Philae has now settled in a much less sunny area.”
Kletzkine moved on to other ESA projects during Rosetta’s journey and is now project manager for the Solar Orbiter, a satellite that aims to travel closer to the sun than any satellite has ever gone before.
“We’re now right in the middle of the development,” he says. “Our goal is to launch in 2017 or 2018.”
Over his career, Kletzkine has spent nearly 30 years at ESA, including a three-year stint in French Guiana, where he worked on satellite and commercial launches. Between graduating from MIT and joining ESA, he served in the French Air Force, where he worked on space-related programs.
Kletzkine is thankful for his MIT experience, with only one exception. “My MIT education gave me added insights into other engineering cultures, and this came in very handy in my later career,” he says. “The only thing I could never really get accustomed to was nonmetric units—it’s archaic and inelegant, and also risky.”
Kletzkine currently works at the ESA center in the Netherlands, where he lives with his wife, Wilma. They have three children, Daniella, Stephanie, and Jonathan, and one granddaughter, Yaela.

Our own Tommie Martin and Supervisors Dawson and Pastor, stepped up to the plate and hit a home run for local school districts this past Tuesday. By voting to allocate Federal Forest Fees to the school districts, based on a formula submitted by the district superintendents of Gila County, they have brought some sunshine into a pretty gloomy financial forecast. PUSD is grateful for their courageous support of our students and schools.
As I have shared with the community, the “proposed” cuts to education for next year by
the Arizona Legislature’s Appropriations Committee are close to $2 million for PUSD. Add to that the loss of one-third of our override and a slight decrease in our enrollment, the potential shortfall is a little more than $2.4 million for the 2009-10 school year. That’s 18 percent and that’s potentially devastating. What the final cut to our next year’s budget will be, I cannot yet say, but the $541,000 in Forest Fees for this fiscal year, will be held in reserve to help to offset cuts.
Federal stimulus dollars will also help. The details have not yet emerged, but the arrival of these dollars in July, combined with (hopefully) a continued allotment of the Forest Fees over the next three years, could greatly soften the blow to programs and personnel.
The largest variable in this financial equation is our own legislature and governor and how deeply they cut. My hope is that short-term budgetary solutions are not made by sacrificing the long-term stability of public education in Arizona. The next several weeks will determine our district’s future for several years to come. Fortunately, thanks to the Gila County Board of Supervisors, our burden became a little bit more manageable. As Arizona and Payson try to regain their financial footholds, we now have an increased ability to sustain our district and provide for our students.
Our elected officials hear plenty of griping. I understand; that comes with the job. In this case, on behalf of our kids and our employees, I would like to extend my thanks and a pat on the back. They didn’t have to put kids so generously first in their apportionment of the fees, but they did. Let’s hope our state legislators take their lead in prioritizing our children’s future. | [

Advantages and disadvantages
Novomatic founder: a man with a vision
It might sound a little like the story of an American dishwasher who rose to become a self-made millionaire. But the success story of the Founder and today's main shareholder of Novomatic has similarity. For the former butcher teaching of modest circumstances developed into a multimillionaire and his story sounds like a fairy tale. The founder NOVOMATICS is blessed with two things: his vision and the hand, to enter the right time. He started his company with the import of flipper machines from the US and when the first slot machines came up, he had the right racker and jumped up to the train.
The success story of Novomatic started in 1980 and now the machine games as well as the classic casino games worldwide are known. However, the software vendor rather sat down on the traditional casinos and less on the internet. But since the trend led more and more to online gaming, covered the company strategy and Novomatic online machine games were developed or the machines from the real gambling halls 1: 1 of Greentube for the casinos programmed.
Characteristics of Novomatic
|Facts about Novomatic Group:|
Note: Since the beginning of 2018, the Novomatic Games are no longer available for Indian players in the online gambling halls because the provider has withdrawn from India. This means that it is no longer possible to play for real money. The Novomatic games can only be played for free in the Stargames Casino and on some other platforms.
What causes the Novomatic Games?
It is not easy to explain what makes Novomatic slot machine games and classic casino games so fascinating. But one thing is certain: there are certainly nicer slots on the gambling market that are more elaborately designed. But still: there is only one Novomatic! For decades, fans have loved successes like Book of Ra and experience shows that many ideas have been “copied” from other developers - this is especially true for the gameplay and the theme of Book of Ra.
The risk game or gamble feature, which is being implemented in more and more slots, used to only exist in Novomatic games and Merkur (in a different form). But the fans love the games from this software provider, because every slot machine has a special feature and thus convinces in its own way. As far as sound and graphics are concerned, these are presentable. Otherwise, the games are characterized by:
- simple operation
- simple menu navigation
- high winning opportunities
- Your own software Style - to recognize in all games
- interesting topics: underwater world, history, Egypt etc.
The popularity is certainly due to the fact that the classics were already known from the times before the NOVOMATIC online India casinos. Almost every player in Austria and India is familiar with at least one of the machine games, as long as he has already played in a Novomatic Casino on site or in a traditional arcade.
The Novomatic games and their functions
We could name many advantages with regard to this software. That is one of the reasons why the Austrian developer has become such a successful one on the iGaming market. First of all, the many years of experience that speak as an argument for this software developer must be mentioned. The group has been able to build up impressive expertise over the years and it still benefits it today. But not only Novomatic benefits from the modern developments, but also the players, as great entertainment is offered. In addition, you can basically rely on the reliability of the games and random number generators.
- Slots, card and table games, live games
- Novomatic is very popular
- There are regular new releases
Table games from NOVOMATIC: You will gladly forget
The fact that there is also card and table games under this brand, often forgotten. The developer has some highlights in the typical casino games in his playboth. Therefore, there is also from the provider:
- Video Poker
In the Novomatic Casinos there are also some titles from the Royal Crown series:
- Royal Crown Blackjack
- Royal Crown Roulette
- Royal Crown 3 Card Brag
There are also bingo variants, including Bruno Bingo. The system is simple and anyone can risk real money in an instant play. There is even a jackpot in bingo with 30 balls played.
Slots: Novomatic has always a trump in the sleeve
The Novomatic slot machines are always good for a surprise. The developers of the Austrian company manage to skillfully combine the various properties with each other, so that a game of chance is created that corresponds to modern times. In addition to the chance to win big, the slots are also attractively designed and sometimes offer surprising extras within the game. This means that gaming fun in a Novomatic online India casino is always exciting and varied - even for hours.

Alyn Smith MEP and Emma Harper, SNP candidate for Dumfriesshire, Clydesdale and Tweedale, have expressed their support for Whitmuir Farm’s plan to establish itself as the first community-owned farm in Scotland.
“Whitmuir is a truly inspirational example of sustainable organic farming, and I have to say that Pete Ritchie and Heather Anderson do a fantastic job running the place.
“Scotland’s got a good story to tell when we talk about high-quality food, and consumers knowing that they’re getting fresh, organic produce is a significant part of that.
“The farming sector has to evolve. Just look at farmers forming Producer Organisations and Commissioner Hogan making CAP simplification a priority for 2015.
“That’s why Whitmuir’s expansion programme is definitely one to watch, and they have my wholehearted support.”
“As a Nurse Educator I was especially impressed by the focus on education at Whitmuir, in that both visitors and the local community can reconnect directly with farming and food production. “
Heather Anderson added:
“Pete and I have always been passionate advocates of community engagement and education. We have 80,000 visitors to the farm every year and the farm has hosted 355 specifically educational events over the last five years.
“Whitmuir aims to become the first community-owned farm in Scotland, and anyone aged five or over can buy a share from the Whitmuir Community Benefit Society for £50.
“From April 2015, with support from the Climate Challenge Fund, the farm will be working with two local schools to grow vegetables for the school. Every person on the planet has 2000m2 of arable land and 4000m2 of pasture, so the site will demonstrate the land use decisions we can make in Scotland and like with similar project round the world.” | [

On the structure of weakly acyclic games
The class of weakly acyclic games, which includes potential games and dominance-solvable games, captures many practical application domains. In a weakly acyclic game, from any starting state, there is a sequence of better-response moves that leads to a pure Nash equilibrium; informally, these are games in which natural distributed dynamics, such as better-response dynamics, cannot enter inescapable oscillations. We establish a novel link between such games and the existence of pure Nash equilibria in subgames. Specifically, we show that the existence of a unique pure Nash equilibrium in every subgame implies the weak acyclicity of a game. In contrast, the possible existence of multiple pure Nash equilibria in every subgame is insufficient for weak acyclicity in general; here, we also systematically identify the special cases (in terms of the number of players and strategies) for which this is sufficient to guarantee weak acyclicity. | [

I tend to agree with @TheRubberDuck. It is all in the nuance, and the verb tense, of the spell as written:
All equipment worn or carried by a creature is similarly enlarged by
So, all equipment worn or carried by a creature at the time of casting is similarly enlarged by the spell. The magic has been cast at this point, there is no new casting of the spell happening, or transference of the spell as a character roams around and picks things (or people) up. Also note:
Any enlarged item that leaves an enlarged creature’s possession (including a projectile or thrown weapon) instantly returns to its normal size.
So if your target character/creature holds onto another, secondary character/creature while he is being Enlarged the spell could arguably affect the secondary creature, but only while being held by the target of the spell.
I would argue the same for Invisibility, for instance. If a half-orc let a halfing ride on his shoulders and was made invisible, they'd both be invisible, but once the halfling left the half-orc they would visible again. The wording in Invisibility is a little clearer, emphasis my own:
Items dropped or put down by an invisible creature become visible; items picked up disappear if tucked into the clothing or pouches worn by the creature.
So, when an invisible creature picks something up and hides it on their person it doesn't become invisible itself, it becomes invisible because of it's circumstance hiddin within and invisible creature's garments. With regards to Enlarge, I'd apply the same logic--the spell doesn't pass on to something picked up. | [

The use of lithium-ion batteries has been on the rise in recent years, and it is not without reason. These batteries have a range of benefits over traditional batteries, including higher energy density, longer lifespan, faster charging times, and a lower environmental impact. With the growing demand for electric vehicles and renewable energy systems, the need for lithium-ion batteries has never been greater. In this blog post, we will explore the growing popularity of lithium-ion battery sales and the reasons behind its surge.
The first reason for the growing popularity of lithium-ion batteries is the increasing demand for electric vehicles. The automotive industry has shifted towards electric vehicles, with many car manufacturers investing in the development of electric cars. Unlike traditional cars, electric vehicles rely solely on lithium-ion batteries for their operation. This has led to an increase in the demand for lithium-ion batteries, which are essential to the functioning of these vehicles.
Another factor driving the growth of lithium-ion battery sales is the increasing demand for renewable energy sources. Solar panels and wind turbines are becoming popular as a source of sustainable energy, and they are reliant on energy storage systems such as lithium-ion batteries to store power. As renewable energy systems become more widespread, the demand for lithium-ion batteries is expected to increase further.
Sales of lithium-ion batteries (リチウムイオン電池 販売) also have a longer lifespan compared to traditional batteries, making them a cost-effective option. They can last up to 6-7 years with proper maintenance and have a higher energy density, allowing for longer periods of operation without the need for recharging. Their fast charging time is also a plus, with some batteries reaching full charge in just one hour.
In addition to their functional benefits, lithium-ion batteries are also more environmentally friendly. They have a lower carbon footprint compared to traditional batteries, reducing the impact of battery disposal on the environment. They also do not contain hazardous metals such as lead and cadmium, making them safer for human health and the environment.
In In short, the growing popularity of lithium-ion battery sales is a reflection of the demand for electric vehicles and renewable energy systems. With their superior performance, longer lifespan, and environmental benefits, lithium-ion batteries have emerged as the preferred option for many industries. The future of energy storage is undoubtedly intertwined with the use of lithium-ion batteries, and we can expect to see continued growth in this industry in the coming years. As technology continues to advance, we can expect even more exciting advancements in the use of lithium-ion batteries, making it an exciting field to watch. | [

FAYETTEVILLE, NC The scam causing concern for law enforcement is one where an individual calls a citizen asking about jury service. The caller implies the citizen missed jury duty and a warrant is being issued for their arrest. When the citizen protests the claim, the scammer asks the citizen for their social security number and date of birth so the information can be verified and the arrest warrant cancelled. Quite often the scammer bullies the citizen for this information by posing as a law enforcement officer or a member of the court system. So far this fraudulent activity has been reported in 11 states. The FBI and the federal court system have been made aware of the scam through websites and public warnings.
"Never give your personal information over the telephone no matter how intimidating the person on the other end of the telephone becomes," warns Sheriff Butler. "Ask the caller to leave a telephone number where you can return their call and report the activity immediately to this office."
Any citizen who has a complaint of this nature is urged to contact the Cumberland County Sheriff's Office at (910) 323-1500. | [

Eight site survey instruments continue to operate at the the six GONG sites, plus downtown Tucson and Sacramento Peak. Another instrument will be installed at Kitt Peak in the near future. The network continues to see the Sun about 93.5% of the time. The two major papers reporting the site survey methods and results have been submitted to Solar Physics. A paper reporting on observations of the dust generated by the Mt. Pinatubo eruption has been drafted, and will be submitted in the near future.
Work continues to progress on the preparation of the field sites to receive the GONG instruments. At the Big Bear Solar Observatory (BBSO), a small land fill adjacent to the causeway out into the lake will be required to seat the station. Members of the GONG and BBSO staff met with the Army Corps of Engineers in January to discuss the applications for the various necessary permits. In all, four different permits are required, including the Corps of Engineers, the State water quality and wildlife agencies, and the local water district. In a parallel activity, requests for bids for engineering services to design the landfill have be issued. Work will probably begin this summer.
A final location for the site at NOAA's Mauna Loa Observatory has been selected and agreed to by all parties. The site use agreement has been forwarded to NOAA for signature. NOAA intends to have other construction underway on the site in the May to July time frame and GONG expects to coordinate its preparation work with those activities. The High Altitude Observatory, which operates a solar observatory at the same site, will be providing on-site support for the GONG observation program.
The GONG Project Manager, Jim Kennedy, will be traveling to the sites in the Canaries, India, and Australia, in February for detailed discussions with the engineering and technical staffs and potential contractors at those locations regarding the land work there. It is expected that administrative and technical details will be worked out that will clear the way for work to begin at those sites in the next few months.
Similarly, there are ongoing discussions with the Cerro Tololo InterAmerican Observatory (CTIO) in Chile to those same ends. Meetings with CTIO are tentatively planned for late March or early April. Everyone is anxious to see which of the sites will be the first to break ground.
At the end of December, the GONG project received three interferometers from the manufacturer, Interoptics. Two of the units were immediately tested in our optics lab. The tests were promising so the least perfect unit was installed in the GONG prototype instrument. Solar observations confirmed good performance. The second unit was also installed and performed well. Tests of the third unit indicated that it would also function properly. As a result, the project accepted the three interferometers. Two more are nearly finished and all ten units should be delivered by the end of February. This will complete a long quest for the principal optical component of the GONG instrument.
The wavelength transmitted by the interferometers was found to vary less than 1/20 wave across their apertures. This is equivalent to less than 600 m/s in measured velocity. Temperature sensitivity proved to be almost exactly the same as calculated or 550 m/s per degree C. The interferometers are mounted inside ovens which maintain temperature constant to 50 micro degrees. Therefore the basic GONG signal will be stable at the 3 cm/s level before decomposition into spherical harmonics. Earlier realizations of the interferometer produced disturbing ghosts from multi-order quarter-wave plates in the arms of the interferometer. Thanks to the skill of the manufacturer, it was possible to eliminate these ghosts by fabricating very thin quartz wave plates on the mirror surfaces of the interferometer. The major disappointment is associated with the polarizing beamsplitter coating. It introduces a phase shift with angle of incidence that diminishes the angular field of view in one dimension. The effect of this is to introduce a velocity gradient across the image of the Sun in the GONG instrument. It is typically about 1000 m/s across the solar diameter or about 1/4 of the solar rotation gradient. In practice it should not be a problem.
We now have interferometers for Big Bear, Mauna Loa, and Tenerife in hand, with the balance due us by the end of February. We are presently awaiting the delivery of entrance windows and the remaining narrow-band interference filters to complete the complement of critical optical elements.
Progress was also made on adding an integrated image velocity signal to the output of the GONG instruments. A port originally designed to use a laser reference signal can now be used to provide a velocity signal integrated across the solar image. Tests to date indicate excellent performance.
GONG's three instrument makers, supplemented part time by two members of NOAO's instrument shop, are continuing to work overtime to complete mechanical parts in time for field station first light this spring. About 85% of the 450 mechanical parts that make up the GONG instruments are now complete. Where possible | [

This article was an eye-opener for me. It explains the devastating effects that war and toxic stress can have on children’s mental health. It is heartbreaking to think of the amount of trauma these children have to face growing up in a war-torn environment. It is also hard to imagine the long-term effects that this will have on their lives.
I believe we need to do more to help children in war-torn countries. We need to ensure that they have access to mental health services, and that we are providing them with the necessary support to help them cope with their traumatic experiences. We also need to help the refugee population by providing them with a safe and secure environment to live in.
It is heartbreaking to think about all the children who are suffering due to war and toxic stress. We need to do what we can to help them and provide them with the care and support they need to heal and move forward in their lives. | [

In March 2022, our Landscape Challenge winner was chosen, Kathy and Steve Sperlo of Lake St. Louis, Missouri.
Kathy has been a member of Jardin du Lac Garden Club for three years and her yard has been certified by the Federated Garden Clubs of Missouri as both a hummingbird and butterfly garden. Kathy arranged for a Bring Conservation Home Survey (https://stlouisaudubon.org/bch/ ) in September 2021 and has already added natives to her back yard: garden phlox (Phlox paniculata), prairie pussytoes (Antennaria neglecta), cardinal flower (Lobelia cardenalis), river oats (Chasmanthium latifolium) and columbine (Aquilegia canadensis). This spring she is adding purple poppy mallow (Callirhoe involucrata) along the side of the house, along with black chokeberry (Aronia melanocarpa).
Patty and Steve Berry presented them with our 2022 Winner sign and the Sperlo’s will have WildOnes out to see their garden as it matures.
The garden was installed June 22, 2022, with the help of Kathy’s daughter Linda, and grandson Ted, along with Rachel, and volunteers from St. Charles Wildones.
Quart size pots were used to ensure the plants were easily noticed.
Rachel Anders, of Moon Valley Plants worked with Kathy to design a “mailbox garden” where previously there were no plants. This spot is easily visible by neighbors as they walk or drive by. Kathy also plans to share the garden with her garden club members, of which there are approximately 50.
Rachel’s final design included Baptisia australis, Aster oblongifolius, Pycnanthemum tenuifolium, Rudbeckia missouriensis, Penstemon digitalis, Solidago drummondii, Antennaria plantaginifolia and Sporobolus heterolepis.
The Landscape Challenge is an annual event sponsored by Grow Native! ( https://grownative.org ) of the Missouri Prairie Foundation and WildOnes St. Charles Area Chapter. The event has traditionally been held in Fall; however, we have found that the availability of designer time and native plants is greater in the Spring.
Patty and Steve are looking for a few more members to join the Landscape Challenge team and hope to begin soon to refine the application and review procedures for another early Spring planting. Let us know if you would be willing to join the committee which has accomplished most of its business by zoom and email. Patty’s email is: [email protected] | [

New switchers from AMX are available from dealers. The Enova DGX 16 and the Enova DGX 32 digital media switchers offer an high-definition media interface (HDMI)/high-bandwidth digital content protection (HDCP) solution that can scale to any resolution without being limited to a pre-determined list of resolutions, the Richard, Texas-based company states.
The switchers offer AMX SmartScale, InstaGate Pro and a building NetLink control.
SmartScale is a technology that independently responds to each display’s extended display identification data (EDID) information and scales video to optimal parameters without manual setup, AMX says.
InstaGate Pro, also on-board the switchers, provides plug-and-play HDCP integration.
The NetLink Controller is embedded for simple network installation. The Enova DGX has an embedded Ethernet switch and support for AMX DXLink, which allows connected A/V devices to be managed centrally over the same cable to distribute media, the company states.
The initial Enova DGX shipment includes the DGX 16 and 32 Switcher enclosures, the DGX input and output boards for HDMI and digital video interface (DVI), plus the audio insert/extract expansion boards.
Further enhancements to the DGX 16 and 32 are on schedule to deliver in the coming months, including DXLink input and output boards as well as fiber boards. | [

An end of year break meant some lovely farm time over Christmas but we had an extra week off and I had trouble finding any reasonably priced coastal accommodation in Victoria. So instead we hit the road North to Sydney, stopping in Canberra for a couple of days on the way.
We stayed at Crowne Plaza in Canberra which was right next to the beautiful Glebe Park. We all packed in to a tiny room to keep the costs down which was a laugh but it was all we needed for a couple of nights. The hotel was in a handy central location with everything we needed close by. We had our car so we able to get everywhere in a few minutes. We visited all the usual suspects including Parliament House, Questacon and the Gallery.
Then it was on to our final destination… Sydney! I was lucky enough to find a cute airbnb in Dee Why, a suburb in the Northern Beaches of Sydney. This was my first time staying in this area and it was brilliant. All of the suburbs along this coast are gems! We drove from Dee Why to Palm Beach one day and stopped off at a few beachy suburbs including Avalon and I just loved the vibes everywhere we stopped but Palm Beach was unbelievably beautiful. The houses were next level! Wow! We drove up the winding, steep streets right to the top of Palm Beach and the views and houses were incredible. Very impressed. And the Pittwater harbour was so spectacular too. The best bit about all of these suburbs are the ocean pools. Nearly every beach had one. We loved swimming in them. Such a treat.
We also went to Luna Park, caught the ferry from Manly to the city and back again, walked around The Rocks, had an icecream in Bondi, visited Bronte rockpool, drove around the harbour through all the amazing suburbs like Rose Bay, Vaucluse, Double Bay and Watson’s Bay, visited the Maritime Museum where you can climb aboard real ships, rode bikes around Centennial Park, had lunch at a cool pub in Marrickville, looked at shops in Oxford St Paddington and swam as much as we could.
I wouldn’t hesitate to stay in the Northern Beaches again it was nice to be out of the city by the beach but close enough when we felt like driving in or catching the ferry. Cannot wait for our next visit. Sydney we adore you. | [

- About Us
River Network’s Science & Policy Blog helps river advocates stay up-to-date on news, tools, and resources related to legal, policy and technical developments related to restoration and protection of river and wetland habitats. The blog is updated regularly by Katherine Baer, Director Of Science & Policy, and Gayle Killam, Habitat Program Deputy Director. We also welcome your comments and guest bloggers.
Our Partners are some of the smartest, wittiest and most interesting people we know...and we're not just saying that. Check out what some of them have to say via their blogs.
I'm late with the Wednesday Roundup again but I have a good excuse. Several good excuses. First, I was at River Network's annual staff retreat on the banks of the booming Willamette River and they days were packed. Then, just when I thought I could squeeze in a late night blog posting I had had the chance to have dinner and play Legos with the man behind this incredible purchase of Columbia River habitat and his lovely family.
So here they are -- five stories and resources you won't want to miss from the last week:
New EPA Tool to Map Water Pollution
Alas, I was on a plane during the role out of the Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) Pollutant Loading Tool from U.S. EPA, but I'd love to hear if you find it useful. I played around with it for a bit, and was pretty impressed. EPA's press release says the tool "...brings together millions of records and allows for easy searching and mapping of water pollution by local area, watershed, company, industry sector, and pollutant" and that searches can generate: "... “top ten” lists to help users easily identify facilities and industries that are discharging the most pollution and impacted waterbodies. When discharges are above permitted levels, users can view the violations and link to details about enforcement actions that EPA and states have taken to address these violations."
River Hero Nominations are Due February 3rd
River Network's River Heroes Award celebrates rivers and those who protect them by recognizing some of our victories and honoring those who provide us with leadership and inspiration along the way. You know you work with or volunteer alongside someone who knocks your socks off with their dedication, brilliance and/or joy -- celebrate them! Learn more and nominate your own River Hero by February 3.
Growing Pressure from States to Disclose Fracking Chemicals
As has become the norm, there was quite a bit of press coverage about the controversial practice known as fracking. This article from the Philadelphia Inquirer does a particularly good job of summarizing where the states are moving at least on the question of what the heck is in the chemical mixes used for fracking. The article states: "Texas is the fifth state to require the disclosure of well-by-well data with an online public clearinghouse, FracFocus.org. Colorado, Montana, Louisiana, and North Dakota also require posting of data with FracFocus." Other fracking stories this week included: the Wheeling News-Register; NBC4 in Ohio which summarizes an interesting poll finding Ohioans want to stop fracking until more studies are completed; and an opinion editorial in the Juneau Empire about fracking in Alaska.
Ghost River: Not Our Usual Hard News...
....but charming. Will Hunt's blog posting from the Paris Review chronicles the author's search for a now buried stream -- Minetta Brook. The Brook has long been buried under the streets and buildings of New York City but Hunt finds traces of it in the buildings, the fountains and even in the people all along its path. Around the country people are day-lighting creeks -- bringing buried streams to the surface -- as we relearn the value of these ecosystems.
Bringing the Clean Water Act Home -- Looking back at 40 Years of the Act in Kentucky
Last but certainly not least, Hank Graddy (coincidentally, a River Hero) of Kentucky River Watershed Watch -- a River Network Partner group -- wrote this great opinion editorial in the Lexington Herald Leader. The piece covers the pending 40th anniversary of the Clean Water Act, and brings home just what the Act has done for the rivers of Kentucky...and what it has failed to do. Graddy makes a wonderful case for the role of his group and groups like it in bringing the full power of the Act to bear on the problems still facing our rivers. | [

Recent Tutoring Session Reviews
"We worked on exponential growth and decay, Gaussian elimination for solving systems of equations, and began a review of trig. The student and I discussed the "testing out" situation with Algebra II/Precalc and/or Survey Business Calculus. He hasn't been given definite information on whether he has to test out of Algebra II. So, instead of guessing what he might need to know from Algebra, we agreed to concentrate on Survey of Calculus, reviewing Algebra as needed."
"We worked on fractions, decimals, multiplication fluency, punctuation, science passage comprehension, and placing states on maps. The student did well today! The student had a great attitude. I have written the days of each assignment on his workbook. Next session I'm going to bring the titles of 3 books (with a synopsis of each) for him to choose that we can read together to increase his discussion skills."
"We worked on math today. The concepts involved similar triangles and the Pythagorean Theorem. The student did very well with tracking with the concepts. We also began to review some of her computer assignment."
"We worked on more of the analytical word problems with strategies on how to attack them and eliminate other answers. I provided more practice problems. There are a lot of gaps in the student's basic math knowledge, such as multiplication, division by hand, and not using the calculator. I used specific examples and will provide more practice problems. He will have to review the methods, as he is not allowed to use a calculator during the test. He mentioned test anxiety as well, so I am working with him on the basics to feel more comfortable. We will work on some basics next session. He is trying very hard but I am a little worried about his base knowledge. We will continue to work on this next session."
"We worked on multiplying, factoring, ordering, and naming polynomials. The student always maintains a teachable attitude even when she's not understanding a concept. We reviewed test-taking strategies while going through the lessons. She was able explain how to solve the questions."
"We worked on place value, multiplication, and division. I had the student make a place value chart, and we worked on problems solving what number underlined was in the tens or hundreds chart. She was very cooperative. I included strategies to help her memorize the place value chart." | [

The most common service offered by free vet clinics is spaying and neutering. Many city animal welfare departments and private shelters offer these services to help prevent pet overpopulation.Continue Reading
Additionally, some programs may offer free vaccination. This is particularly true for rabies vaccinations, which are usually required by law and help prevent the spread of the fatal disease to humans. Others may vaccinate puppies against canine parvovirus, which is highly contagious and often fatal to puppies.
Low-cost veterinary clinics are more common than completely free ones. These clinics sometimes operate on fixed discount prices, but some also use a sliding-scale payment system based on the pet owner's income. This means that it may be free for people with very low incomes. These veterinary clinics often offer more services, such as a wider array of vaccinations and wellness checks. They also may prescribe necessary medications and offer treatment for diseases or injuries. Some also offer discounted dental cleaning and extractions.
There are also some charity funds that pay normal veterinary fees on the owner's behalf. These are usually designed to treat emergency situations such as illness or injury. Some also pay ongoing treatment costs for things such as insulin for diabetic dogs. These can often be found on animal rescue sites or by contacting local shelters.Learn more about Veterinary Health | [

Luciano Charles Scorsese, a raspy-voiced garment worker who appeared in eight films directed by his son Martin, died yesterday at New York University Hospital. He was 80 and lived in New York City.
He died after a long illness, said Elizabeth Petit, a spokeswoman for his son.
Charles Scorsese was a presser for 40 years and retired a dozen years ago, after which he did more film work. In his son's "Goodfellas" (1990), he played a gangster who becomes a hit man. He also appeared in "The King of Comedy," "The Color of Money" and "Cape Fear" and in Brian De Palma's "Wise Guys." His last role was in "The Age of Innocence," a Martin Scorsese film scheduled to open in September. He was also a wardrobe consultant.
Martin Scorsese said in a 1991 interview that his father and his mother, who has also appeared in his films, provided historically correct details for his movies, like the card game Charles Scorsese plays in "Raging Bull," his son's 1980 movie based on Jake LaMotta's prizefighting career.
Charles Scorsese and his wife of 60 years, the former Catherine Cappa, are the subjects of Martin Scorsese's "Italianamerican," a 1974 documentary.
The elder Mr. Scorsese was born in lower Manhattan and attended Public School 21.
Besides his wife and his son Martin, of Manhattan, he is survived by another son, Frank, of Staten Island; two brothers, Joseph, of Staten Island, and Gandolfo, of Farmingdale, L.I.; a sister, Fanny DiGiovanni of Jamesburg, N.J., and five grandchildren. | [

In a New York DWI case, the prosecutor must also prove the fact that the accused was in fact operating a “motor vehicle.” If it cannot be shown that a motor vehicle was operated, a DWI drunk driving case will not stand up in court.
In New York, “Motor Vehicle” is defined in Section 125 of the Vehicle and Traffic Laws. “Every vehicle operated or driven upon a public highway which is propelled by any power other than muscular power” with a few specific exception. This includes automobiles, trucks, motorcycles, mopeds, and motorized scooters. Bicycles and horses are not motor vehicles under New York’s drinking and driving laws. | [

Creating beautiful paintings on small spaces, such as nail plate, is not an easy work. Precision, concentration and attention are required. These are the qualities that Katia Yordanova possesses, combining with them her charge of enthusiasm and art confidence.
Her love for painting startes back to her childhood, when she repeatedly participated in and won competitions in various artistic styles.
Her passion for creating miniature drawings inspired her choice of profession both as a manicurist and as a designer of Henna Tattoos (temporary tattoos) on the body with henna, known as an interesting and beautiful ancient ritual.
Her inspirations for miniature nail art are numerous: butterflies, animals, flowers, fairy tale characters, sea elements.
My Freshes shot a small part of her miniature drawings on nails, and her personal photo gallery can be found on her website: katia-art.com
Katia has been working together with the talented and successful tattoo artist – Petar Petrov for several years, and recently opened a beauty salon in Burgas city. | [

My guess at what the USGS will report as the recoverable oil in the Bakken formation tomorrow.
Stackfrac horizontal drilling that is available today could recover up to 15% of the oil in parts of the formation. 75% of the formation is in the USA. 25% is in Canada. Not all parts of the formation would have 15% recovery, some might have 0-10%. Even though future technology could improve this number, that is not what will be projected. The high price of oil means that quick wells that produce for as little as 6-12 months could be profitably drilled.
I will say for the US portion 380 billion barrels of oil in place and 42 billion barrels of recoverable oil with todays technology. My guess is whole formation has 510 billion barrels of oil in place. 15 Billion barrels of recoverable oil in Canada.
The Cost of Energy summarizes some of the data and reports and agrees there is a lot of oil in place but wants the USGS and other sources to pin down whether recoverable oil is 3% or 50% and then will not say how fast it will be developed

Apple, which hit an all-time high during the regular session, disappointed investors after reporting gross margins and iPad shipments. Its shares skidded five per cent in after-hours trading while stock index futures fell, suggesting a weak market opening this morning.
Shares in IBM also fell after the closing bell, losing 3.5 per cent to $137.84.
The stock had reached a 52-week high during the regular session. International Business Machines Corp reported a higher-than-expected profit and raised its outlook for the full year, but the shares fell on sluggish sales of technology services.
“Both stocks have kind of gone parabolic into the earnings,” said Nick Kalivas, an analyst at MF Global in Chicago. “My fear is we’re going to get a buy the rumor, sell the fact trade.”
In regular trading, Citigroup gained 5.6 per cent to $4.17 after it reported its third consecutive quarterly profit.
Last week JPMorgan Chase and Co’s profits beat estimates. The KBW Bank index rose three per cent, recovering some of the losses banks had in the last few days.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose 80.91 points, or 0.73 percent, at 11,143.69.
The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index gained 8.52 points, or 0.72 per cent, at 1,184.71. The Nasdaq Composite Index added 11.89 points, or 0.48 per cent, at 2,480.66.
Citigroup said it is looking at the home loans it bundled into bonds and sold to investors. So far, it has not found any problems.
The largest US bank, Bank of America, reports earnings this morning. Bank of America’s shares rose three per cent to $12.40.
Before the close yesterday, around 10 per cent of S&P 500 companies had reported earnings, with 84 per cent of those beating expectations, according to data compiled by Thomson Reuters. | [

I am proud to announce that I will be singing the role of Eurydice in the french version of Gluck's masterpiece "Orphée et Eurydice!"This is a co-production between LA Opera, the Lyric Opera of Chicago, and the Staatsoper Hamburg, featuring the Joffrey Ballet! More in the official AP Wire below:
NEW YORK (AP) — The Lyric Opera of Chicago, LA Opera and Germany's Staatsoper Hamburg are collaborating with the Joffrey Ballet for the first time on a new production of Gluck's "Orphee et Eurydice" by choreographer John Neumeier.
The companies said Tuesday that Neumeier, a Milwaukee native who works mostly in Europe, will direct, design and choreograph the staging, which will open Chicago's 2017-18 season and run from Sept. 23-Oct. 15. It will be seen in Los Angeles from March 10-25, 2018, and in Hamburg from Feb. 3-19, 2019.
Harry Bicket will conduct tenor Dmitry Korchak and soprano Andriana Chuchman in Chicago, and music director James Conlon will lead tenor Maxim Mironov and soprano Lisette Oropesa in Los Angeles.
The 1774 Paris version will be used that includes the ballet music "Dance of the Furies" and "Dance of the Blessed Spirits." | [

I ended up with two quarter square triangle units for the middle of the pansy quilt block, although obviously only one was required. To separate out the pansy petals I used four strips of yellow fabric 2.1/2" by 5.1/2".
Sew the patchwork pieces together in three rows and then sew the rows together.
I felt that this pieced pansy quilt block was much more simple to make than any others that I found, so I do hope you like it.
Thanks for visiting my blog. Hope to see you again soon.. | [

The Rough&Ready Shades Linear can be used to create straight and angular shade structures. The system’s standard modular dimension is 240/300x300cm (94”/118”x118”). The roof modules can be assembled with the beams running lengthwise or crosswise. Straight or Crosswise R&R benches and CorTen Shrubtubs can also be added seamlessly, complementing the Shade System style. The roof can easily be made watertight in order to create an R&R Shelter. In order to achieve this, transparent moulded composite plates are fitted on top. The steel structure can be galvanized or finished with an RAL-coating. | [

of a pound of water. This datum of experiment serves as a basis for all calculations relating to the mechanical theory of heat.
Here, then, there is a source of heat whose importance cannot escape our attention. Consider the innumerable falls of water which exist upon the earth, the waves of the ocean which resemble immense cataracts, incessantly renewed, and if we would represent to ourselves the enormous quantity of heat they produce, take as an example the falls of the Rhine at Schaffhausen. It has been calculated that this single water-fall creates in a day the heat required to melt 12,000 tons of ice.
Nor is heat created by the impact of heavy bodies alone. When any force has put a body in movement, it often happens that this movement is afterwards annihilated, that is to say, it stops without being communicated to other bodies, and heat becomes apparent. This is seen in the well-known experiment of the fire syringe. We exert a muscular effort on a piston; this compresses the air, and our force seems fruitlessly expended. But if it is not employed in communicating motion, it serves to produce heat; the compressed air is heated sufficiently to kindle gun-cotton. We will lay it down then as a principle that heat may arise from the destruction of movement.
Our habitual sources of heat are chemical combinations. I take sulphuric acid, diluted with water, in which I have immersed a small balloon containing ether; I put zinc in this acid; a lively chemical action is produced, and the mixture is sufficiently heated to throw the ether into ebullition. The jet of vapor rushes out by a slender tube, and may be made more conspicuous by kindling it. The solution of zinc in an acid is therefore accompanied by a disengagement of heat.
The heat disengaged in a chemical reaction is often sufficiently intense to produce incandescence, and when the vivacity of action is very great, an explosion. I shall cite some examples recently discovered, without going however into detail. A leaf of paper is moistened with pyroligneous acid; we touch it with a glass rod coated with a mixture of sulphuric acid and hypermanganate of potassium, and
immediately takes fire. Again, we let fall some drops of the essence of anise on the same mixture placed in the bottom of a glass; there is now both incandescence and explosion.
To manifest to my auditors the connection which exists between the heat created by impact and that created by chemical action, I take an example, well known, but on account of its simplicity, serving better than the preceding for the purpose of explanation. The powdered iron, suitably prepared, takes fire when exposed to the air. What is it that occurs in this phenomenon? One of the elements of the air, oxygen, combines with the iron and forms a brown powder, which is called oxide of iron. If the iron be weighed before and after the combination, it will be found to have increased in weight; this proves the fixation of the oxygen in the iron. Now, we shall very well represent to ourselves the mechanism of the combination, by imagining that the particles of oxygen have been precipitated on the iron and become fixed, just as the stone which falls on the earth remains fixed to the soil. Heat, then, has been created by the impact, and the connection we sought is established.
The chemical sources of heat are so important in the arts, that I shall moro particularly dwell upon them, with a view to point out the recent improvements of which they have been the object. It was only the combustion of charcoal, accelerated by the insufflation of a considerable quantity of air, which for a long time was made use of in industry ; such is the fire of the smelting furnace, which can melt iron, but is incapable of melting platina. This metal, as precious as gold, could be melted by no known chemical process until quite recently, when the means were devised by M. H. Sainte-Claire Deville. At present we melt it very easily by the combustion of illuminating gas with pure oxygen. In this process the oxygen contained in a gasometer issues by a copper pipe terminated by
a tip of platina. This pipe is in the axis of a second and larger pipe of copper, whose extremity is also of platina. The illuminating gas issues forth, filling the interval comprised between the two pipes. We have thus a jet formed by a mixture. We kindle this jet and introduce it into a furnace composed of lime; the flame whirls with resonance in the midst of the furnace, heats it intensely, and issues by a lateral opening. It is by this opening that we introduce the platina under the form of thin laminæ. Each lamina disappears as if swallowed up, and a sparkling liquid trickles to the bottom of the furnace.
We stop the jet of flame and uncover the furnace; the liquid platina | [

The Riverbank City Council has authorized the renaming of Crawford Road in the western end of the city, the action coming at its meeting on Tuesday, March 23.
The change was necessary to coordinate with the renaming of Crawford in the Crossroads West subdivisions. It is necessary there because the road will be diverted to the north near the western edge of the new construction.
Agencies that have to approve street names in new developments were requiring the change to accommodate a requirement by adjacent landowners on Crawford who will remain in the county that the street be cut off to eliminate what they expect to be significantly higher traffic once the developments are completed.
Crawford Road will be cut off right at the western edge of Crossroads West, and the newly named Westgate Drive will potentially veer off to the north, eventually continuing on to Coffee Road when development continues there.
That odd little ‘diverter’ island in the middle of the intersection of Crawford and Oakdale roads is there for the same reason.
Traffic studies as the main Crossroads development was being designed indicated a massive amount of traffic would use Crawford Road to the west to connect to Coffee Road. The landowners demanded a diversion of some kind. | [

A campaign by the Italian government targeting against tax evaders has affected sales of Lamborghini in the country, chief executive Stephan Winkelmann told Automotive News Europe. Italian finance police are particularly hunting people driving supercars. They report their supercar sightings to their headquarters, which in turn notifies tax authorities, who will then verify that the supercar owners' tax filings show that they can afford such a high-priced vehicle.
Winkelmann told Automotive News Europe that some of their customers have been flagged by cops while driving, which make them feel hunted. Winkelmann remarked that the crackdown on tax evaders during a time of financial crisis sends the wrong message, “especially against a high-end luxury icon that brings the ‘Made in Italy’ label around the world."
Winkelmann said things could change under the government of new Prime Minister Matteo Renzi, who took office Feb. 22, 2014. He told Automotive News Europe that they have been told that the new government plans to provide some tax relief.
The new government recently said last week that it is selling off 170 upscale models used to transport state officials to work and other places – among them nine Maserati Quattroporte of the defense ministry. | [

Another excellent way to explore Hong Kong’s native charms is by the Star Ferry boats which have been ferrying passengers between Hong Kong Island and Kowloon since 1888. National Geographic has rated the Star Ferry crossing as one of 50 ‘places of a lifetime’. Up-close and personal selfies with one of the world’s most photographed harbours is an unmissable experience. The ferry service across Victoria Harbour, founded by a Parsi businessman Darabjee Naorojee Mithaiwala, with his steamboat, the Morning Star, came to be known as the Kowloon Ferry Company when it was bought over by Sir Catchick Paul Chater and named the Star Ferry Co.
Cruises: Pampered Pleasures. Enjoying a leisurely cruise with family and friends out of one of the world’s most legendary port cities is really something to write home about. Sailing itineraries vary from short voyages for neophyte cruisers, to epic year-long, round-the-world excursions. Check out the allurements such as the FlowRider surf simulator, an outdoor movie screen, and new speciality dining options on offer by the Voyager of the Seas which will be homeporting in Hong Kong again this summer of 2016.
Hong Kong’s astonishing architectural marvels are still a talking point amongst the cognoscenti. Head for the International Commerce Centre, step into the high-speed lift which will whisk you up 100 floors in just 60 seconds and walk on to Sky 100 – the Hong Kong Observation Deck, to catch those stunning 360-degree views of Victoria Harbour.
Family-friendly shopping experiences are rated very highly in Hong Kong. There are goodies galore in the spanking malls as well as the local markets. Hot spots to explore: Harbour City in Kowloon side – Hong Kong’s largest and most thrilling shopping and entertainment destination; Times Square at Causeway Bay has the most happening mall filled with over 230 world renowned brands across 16 floors. Times Square also plays host to art exhibitions, cultural programmes, movie promotions and the annual Times Square New Year Countdown. | [

The Debt Resisters’ Operations ManualStrike Debt
Strike Debt emerged out of assemblies held in May 2012 in solidarity with the student strikes in Montreal. Working groups such as Occupy Theory, Occupy Student Debt Campaign, and Free University collaborated to hold an assembly on Education and Debt. Several weeks later, the group continued to meet under the name “Strike Debt,” which quickly realized that organizing around all forms of debt provided much-needed energy and systematic analysis to the movement.
The Debt Resisters’ Operations Manual is a project of Strike Debt, which is building a movement of debt resistance and liberation based on principles of anti-oppression, autonomy, democratic decision-making, and direct action. In addition to this manual, Strike Debt initiatives include launching the “Rolling Jubilee,” a mutual-aid project that buys debt at steeply discounted prices and then abolishes it; hosting debtors’ assemblies; and planning direct actions across the country, ranging from debt burnings to targeted shutdowns of predatory lenders.

I have two SQL clusters that has a folder share that is required for our production application to run. The second cluster is at an offsite location for disaster recovery. Im trying to replicate that folder share to that offsite location using DFS and I'm not sure if this is even possible.
I've reviewed the following articles below and I'm not sure if this is going to work
I'm attaching a photo to show how it should look like. If this is not possible, I was thinking of automating a robocopy script nightly to the DR location. Are there any other suggestions on acheiving this task. | [

Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)
Eyelid Surgery (also known as Blepharoplasty) is a cosmetic surgery procedure to reshape the eyes. The purpose is to remove excess skin, fat and tissue around the eyes. Depending on your lid features, eye lid surgery can help firm the skin around your upper eyes and/or remove lower eye bags, taking years off your facial appearance. There are various surgical options available for blepharoplasty, depending on whether you require upper eye or lower eye surgery.
Frequently Asked Questions
Eyelid Surgery Benefits
Blepharoplasty is a very common procedure which can have a drastic effect on your looks. Compared to other surgeries, the operation is simple with little pain and short recovery. The benefits of eyelid surgery can be aesthetic and functional.
The procedure can be used to improve a number of problems including removing excess skin which hangs over the natural fold in your upper eyelids. This hanging or draping skin develops with age as the elastic fibres loosen. As for the lower eyelids, it’s common for the fatty cushion around the eyes to slip, forming under eye bags. Blepharoplasty can remove these bags, correcting the tired, droopy look.
The improved, younger appearance can also have a positive effect on your confidence and self-esteem. Looking at tired eyes every time you gaze into a mirror can exacerbate tiredness and make you feel drowsy. On the other hand seeing youthful, alert eyes can have the opposite effect.
As to function, having droopy skin removed can restore your peripheral vision. This is why some blepharoplasty costs are covered by Medicare or your private health insurer. Ask your doctor for a referral to an eyelid surgeon if your upper eyelids are obscuring your vision.
Upper Eyelid Surgery
When operating on the upper eyelids, the incision is made across the natural crease at the back of the eyelid. If the surgery is minor, the incision is about 25mm long. A longer cut is required if fat is being removed in addition to excess skin. In this circumstance, the incision can extend beyond the eyelid to where your wrinkles are.
The surgeon then removes a thin strip of fat, muscle and/or redundant skin. The surgeon only removes a moderate amount of fat. If too much is taken, the eyes can have a sunken look. The fat is removed from the outer edge of the lids, the middle and also from the inner corner. Most of it collects in the outer edge (near the crow’s feet).
Once the loose or sagging muscle has been tightened, the incision is closed with fine stitches (usually nylon or polypropylene). If your operation involves all four lids (upper and lower), the surgeon usually operates on the upper lids first.
Lower Eyelid Surgery
Also referred to as eye bag removal, lower blepharoplasty can be undertaken using a number of different techniques. The appropriateness of each method depends on the extent of your excess skin and how much fat has deposited under the eyes.
The surgeon needs to be careful when trimming skin from this area. Even a few millimetres can make a huge difference and potentially destroy that natural look. Most surgeons will be very conservative and some may remove fat only.
The two main techniques for lower eyelid surgery are transconjunctival and transcutaneous. In transconjunctival blepharoplasty, the incision is made on the inside of the eyelid. The surgeon removes excess fat only and closes the incision with dissolvable stitches. The wound may also be left to heal naturally without any sutures. Since the supporting structures remain intact, this technique is more suitable for younger persons (whilst the skin and muscles are still elastic). It is not suitable if you have lots of excess skin. Laser resurfacing or chemical peels can be used to treat remaining fine wrinkles.
As for transcutaneous, this procedure allows removal of excess fat and skin. An incision is made in your skin on the outside of your eyelid (a few millimetres below the lower lash line). Once the skin is lifted, the surgeon separates the fat from muscle tissue and removes excess fat.
Removing too much fat can cause the eyes to look hollowed out. This can also happen a few years after surgery as the ageing process continues. To prevent this, some surgeons don’t remove the fat but rather push it back toward the face and stich it in place. Once the fat is removed or pushed back and any excess skin has been trimmed, the skin is pulled back into place and reattached with stitches. The skin can even be stretched wide to eliminate some wrinkles.
Another lower eyelid technique is the SOOF method. This procedure is used to lift up fatty pads under the eye which have slipped downward. This alleviates the sunken appearance. The SOOF technique is not performed on its | [

Union GMB this morning staged protests outside of nine of Amazon’s UK offices, including its Slough headquarters, urging the retailer to improve working conditions for staff.
The union said its protest is centred on both the retailer’s tax evasion and claims that working conditions were poor for staff.
Protesters came armed with placards mocked up ‘Asbos’ which demanded: “Pay your tax: public are fed up subsidising Amazon” and “Pay a living wage”.
GMB claims that the online giant fails to pay its workers a living wage of £7.45 an hour.
It said: “The high tech way Amazon process orders and tracks inventory disguises that it is also a traditional labour intensive mail order retail business that exploits its staff as well as dodging taxes.”
GMB claims that many of Amazon UK’s 15,000 staff are employed by agency Randstad in casual or temporary jobs which it said offers no job security or guaranteed incomes.
It said: “Staff complain to GMB about a culture of bullying and harassment endemic in the dataveillance that comes from staff being required to wear digital arm mounted terminals with no agreed protocols re breaks, speeds etc. Union activity has to be kept underground for fear of reprisals.” | [

An OTT is the exact opposite of cable systems that distribute audio or video content using Multiple Service Operators. Instead, the system uses internet signals to transmit the audio and video services to its end users.
A great example of an OTT service is Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, and so forth. Audio OTT providers include Tidal, Deezer, and Spotify. These services have become very popular and this has shrunk profit margins for cable systems since users have switched over to internet-based systems.
How to create an OTT Platform?
An OTT platform is not an easy undertaking and it could take years to fully develop and launch, especially if you do not have a dedicated team. However, with persistence and determination, and skilful working, you can complete the OTT channel project with huge success.
The OTT architecture includes components such as DRMs like Google Wid/eVine. It also cloud-based computing with CDNs to speed up the time it takes to buffer the media content all around the world.
Creating an OTT Platform yourself
The first thing to consider when undertaking an OTT app development project is the type of content you will be sharing. From there, you can get a DRM and start devising the OTT business monetization strategy, which includes pricing.
During that time, you will determine whether it is viable to continue with the development. If it is still an economically viable business strategy, you can then move on to designing and developing the user interface. From then, you can connect the middleware and third-party extensions with the relevant APIs.
Developing an OTT channel in 2021 has become simplified greatly with third-party systems that can manage your content easily. You can still go for the process, which gives you more control of the kind of platform you’re developing. That option is developing the system from scratch either by yourself or through the help of a developer. In any case, thinking carefully about how you are going to monetize it is very important. | [

Reserve your spot now! From the looks of the weekend forecast, the lake and the pool will be packed. Today begins an extended stretch in the 90s. High pressure will have a firm hold on the weather across the Ohio Valley this weekend. Along with the heat, we are tracking lots of sunshine. The center of the "heat dome" slides over Kentucky Saturday, bringing the peak of the heat along with it. We are tracking highs in the low to mid 90s and heat indices near 100°. A few more clouds Sunday will drop temperatures back a few degrees. This will be one of the hottest weekends of the year yet.
We are tracking more heat through the early days of July. High temperatures will remain in the low 90s through the end of next week. There’s a chance that we see a little relief, highs in the upper 80s as opposed to the 90s, next week. The ridge will weaken allowing a cold front to break through the flow, and spread widely scattered storms across the area. The heat dome will return to all it’s glory on Independence Day. More than just hot dogs, hamburgers, and sparklers will sizzle next Wednesday.
Lots of heat in the 8-Day Forecast over on the Weather page. | [

Revisions to China's GDP Data Following the 2004 Economic Census: More Questions than Answers?
7 Pages Posted: 30 May 2006
Date Written: May 27, 2006
On 9 January 2006, China's National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) announced a benchmark revision of GDP statistics for the years 1993-2004 based on the findings of the 2004 economic census. It released nominal values of GDP and sectoral value added (obtained following the production approach) for these years, as well as real growth rates. The new data have three important implications. (i) Despite all the hype only a few years ago about data falsification by local statistical authorities in China, and despite the NBS's efforts to correct local data when deriving national data, the 2004 economic census results validate the local data and invalidate the NBS data for the years 1993-2004. (ii) While (national) economy-wide as well as all sectoral nominal values were significantly revised upward following the 2004 economic census, real growth rates of some sectors remained unchanged, which is not plausible. (iii) The selective revisions to production approach data have implications for the as yet unpublished revisions to expenditure approach data (including investment) and income approach data (including labor remuneration and the profit measure operating surplus).

Divine healing is something I have experienced multiple times in my life. It is something I understand intellectually through multiple avenues. And it is something I believe in deeply.
But yet, it is a subject I find hard or even scary to talk about. Illness and disease are such personal issues to people, and there is often so much pain and struggle surrounding them. My experience has been that the subject of divine healing often makes people feel defensive, guilty, or angry.
And here’s the thing: if you want someone to heal, you have to get them in a positive, faith-filled mindset, not a mindset of offense, guilt, shame, anger, or hopelessness.
Normally, in my life, if I know someone who is sick, rather than sharing my experiences, I will simply pray for them in faith. However, I feel that this blog is a good platform to share more deeply about my beliefs. And there is so much that needs to be shared.
Most people see divine healing as a belief of the super-religious. Honestly, it is not even accepted in most of main-stream Christianity. And yes, it can be found from one end of the Bible to the other. But there is a ton of science that supports divine healing now, and this information is taking a long, long time to make it into mainstream practice and understanding, mostly because the modern medical system is built around the pharmaceutical industry making money. Any science that goes against the drug companies does not get taught in medical school, which means that your doctor likely has no idea.
I want to be a part of the growing voice that speaks out about this issue, even if it is an uncomfortable topic to talk about at times. I will do my best to speak about it in the most compassionate way possible and in a way that brings hope to people rather than burdening them with guilt.
In this video I give a brief recap of my experiences and beliefs regarding divine healing. I will go more into detail in future videos! | [

City Councilmember David Oh, backed by the city’s Republican leadership, resigned Monday and launched his mayoral campaign, becoming the first GOP candidate amid a large field of Democrats looking to replace term-limited Mayor Jim Kenney.
In a city where registered Democrats outnumber Republicans by a margin of nearly 8 to 1, Oh, known in City Hall for his independent streak, is the most serious and accomplished GOP mayoral hopeful in years.
“For the last 24 years, the announcements that I had gone to for our mayor’s candidates were held in a phone booth,” said Vince Fenerty, head of the city’s Republican Party. “That’s how many people would attend. We would get one or two reporters.”
Oh’s announcement came before a packed auditorium at the National Constitution Center, where attendees heard messages of support, particularly from Philadelphia’s immigrant communities.
“No officials ever visited our community before Mr. David Oh,” said Daler Khamidov, of the Forum of Samarkandian Americans. “He’s first. That’s why we love him.”
A Philadelphia native, Oh served in the U.S. military and was elected to Council as an at-large member in 2011.
Several of those who endorsed Oh at his launch event identified themselves as Democrats willing to part with party loyalties to back the former councilmember. But he also has the endorsement of his party and is likely to emerge from May’s primary as the GOP nominee.
“I find most of the problems in our city to be caused by our government,” Oh told the crowd. “There is not a transparency. There is not an accountability because there has not been any competition.”
Fenerty, the former executive of the Philadelphia Parking Authority, admitted he had “a good and a bad relationship” with Oh. The pair clashed over Oh’s failed attempt in Council to audit the PPA.
The GOP leader said Oh assured him that, as mayor, he would appoint as police commissioner someone who had come through the ranks of the Philadelphia Police Department. Danielle Outlaw, the current commissioner, was hired from outside the PPD, previously serving as chief in Portland, Oregon.
“David Oh doesn’t just talk about supporting police officers,” said Omari Bervine, president of the local Fraternal Order of Transit Police, which represents SEPTA officers. “He has a proven track record of supporting police.”
On his campaign website, Oh suggests creating a pilot “trash force” to clean up neighborhoods most affected by litter and dumping, and he’s also in favor of reforming the school board so that it is at least partially elected.
One thing Oh won’t do is change class start times to accommodate the Super Bowl, as many Philadelphia area school systems did Monday.
“I’m sorry. I love the Eagles,” Oh, who lives in Southwest Philadelphia, said. “We will never start school late two hours because of an Eagles game.”
Philadelphia’s resign-to-run rule forced Oh to vacate his Council seat, opening up the at-large race, which will coincide with the mayoral election. With Oh’s resignation, Brian O’Neill, whose district includes the Far Northeast, is the only Republican member of Council.
Two of the seven citywide spots are reserved for minority parties. Traditionally, the seats have been held by Republicans; however, in recent years, progressive groups, especially the Working Families Party, have targeted the minority positions. WFP candidate Kendra Brooks and Oh emerged as the top minority party at-large vote-getters in 2019.
In the general election, Oh could face one of his former Council colleagues. He is the sixth to step down to enter the race, following Allan Domb, Derek Green, Maria Quiñones Sánchez, Cherelle Parker and Helen Gym.
Other Democrats running include former City Controller Rebecca Rhynhart, grocer Jeff Brown, state Rep. Amen Brown, pastor Warren Bloom Sr. and former judge James DeLeon. | [

A transit signal priority system in Eastleigh, England reduced bus fuel consumption by 19 percent and reduced bus emissions by 15 to 30 percent, and increased fuel consumption for other vehicles by 5 percent and increased the emissions of other vehicles up to 11 percent.
The systems were installed at the following four intersections.
- Leigh Road/Woodside Avenue / Passfield Avenue (controlled by Split Cycle Offset Optimization Techniques (SCOOT) software).
- Leigh Road/Romsey Road (controlled by SCOOT software).
- Romsey Road/Upper market Street (controlled by SCOOT software).
- Leigh Road/Bournemouth Road (controlled using vehicle-actuation).
At the SCOOT controlled intersections, field data were collected for one week with the system "on" and one week with the system "off." At the Vehicle-Actuated controlled intersection, data were collected for three days with the system "on" and three days with the system "off." Data were collected between 7:30am and 6:00pm each day.
The study area was saturated and transit volumes were maintained at about 4 to 5 vehicle per hour. Roadside and on-bus surveyors measured bus journey times by recording the time of day a bus passed an intersection detector or stop line. Bus journey times “with” and “without” the system activated were used to evaluate system impacts on bus speeds, traffic delays, and system operations. Impacts on bus emission levels and fuel consumption were calculated using speed-related emissions factors derived from a national emissions database. Impacts on other traffic were assessed using general traffic data collected from loop detectors at each SCOOT intersection.
The relatively high priority given to buses improved bus performance and reduced bus delay, bus fuel consumption, and bus emissions; however, because such a high level of priority was granted, additional delays were incurred by other vehicles which resulted in an overall increase in fuel consumption and emissions for all listed pollutants except, Nitrogen oxides (NOx), and particulate matter (PM).
The Transport Research Laboratory (TRL) authors noted that the reductions in NOx and PM were important since these compounds were more likely to exceed acceptable levels in urban environments.

The stage is set for the Qatar Grand Prix and there is only one place to begin – will this be where Max Verstappen seals his third drivers’ title in a row? Our Weekend Warm-Up crew are here to discuss it all.
The Red Bull man has dominated throughout the year and scored his 13th win of the season last time out in Suzuka. In simple terms, Verstappen will be crowned champion if he leaves Qatar with a lead of 146 points or more over second-placed Sergio Perez.
Even if Perez wins Saturday’s Sprint, Verstappen will secure the title by finishing sixth or higher. Anything could, of course, happen throughout the Sprint weekend at the Lusail International Circuit but you’d be hard pushed to find someone who doesn’t believe Verstappen will seal the deal in Qatar and join a list of legendary former champions with three titles.
But it’s not just the Dutchman looking to make a mark in Qatar. Can McLaren continue their spectacular form after a double podium in Japan? The Papaya team have Aston Martin’s current P4 place in the constructors’ table locked in their sights and they hold the momentum.
There will also be plenty of eyes on the P2 battle, with Mercedes and Ferrari separated by just 20 points.
For a full discussion on all the hot topics out in Qatar, click on the video player above to watch Laura Winter, Will Buxton and Lawrence Barretto in the latest instalment of the Weekend Warm-Up show. | [

Thanks for reading Climate Risk Review! Not signed up yet? Why not join over *2,500 subscribers* interested in climate-related financial risk and regulation by signing up here:
1) Companies failing to incorporate climate risk in accounts, research shows
Few carbon-intensive firms include climate-related risks in their financial statements, and those that do often disclose information inconsistent with their other public reports, a study by the Carbon Tracker Initiative and the Climate Accounting Project (CAP) shows.
Out of 107 public companies assessed, over 70% did not factor climate issues into their 2020 financial disclosures. Only one in four disclosed at least some of the climate-related estimates and assumptions they used for preparing these filings.
Furthermore, 80% of auditors — companies charged with reviewing other firms’ financial statements — offered no evidence that they considered material climate-related issues in their assessments. Most auditors also provided little to no comment on discrepancies between financial statements and other public reports when it came to discussions of and responses to climate issues.
Carbon Tracker and CAP found that the oil and gas firms surveyed included the most information on climate risk in their financial statements and audited reports. Four in five of these companies signaled climate-related targets in their narrative reporting, 15% of which were net-zero emissions reduction targets. Of these, all were factored in to their financial statements.
In response to the findings, Carbon Tracker and CAP said companies should “improve their climate governance” so that appropriate oversight, internal control and risk management systems are in place, and “disclose quantitative climate-related estimates and assumptions”. As for auditors, they recommended they produce evidence of their work on climate-related issues and make sure the financial statements they scrutinise do not contradict other company disclosures when it comes to these issues.
2) US bank regulators coordinating on climate risk guide — OCC
Climate risk management guidance is being drawn up for the US’ biggest banks, one of the country’s top financial watchdogs said Wednesday.
Michael Hsu, the acting chief of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), remarked in a speech that the agency is working on this guidance with interagency peers — likely a reference to other bank regulators such as the Federal Reserve and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
“Climate change poses an existential risk to society and the associated financial risks pose safety and soundness risk to banks. To safeguard trust, banks and regulators must begin to take action now,” said Hsu.
Though Hsu did not detail what the forthcoming guidance would contain, he acknowledged that banks are exposed to both physical and transition climate risks, and that these represent “novel challenges” for risk management. “How should such risks be identified, measured, and managed? What data is needed? What time frames and risk mitigants should be considered?” he asked.
Hsu appointed the OCC’s first Climate Change Risk Officer on July 27. On the same day, he also announced the agency had joined the Network for Greening the Financial System (NGFS), a club of central banks and supervisors focused on climate risk management.
3) Reflect climate risk in bank regulation, UK lawmakers tell BoE
UK legislators and climate activist groups have called on the Bank of England (BoE) to introduce banking rules that account for the risks involved in lending to carbon-intensive companies.
In a letter to Andrew Bailey, the BoE’s governor, over 50 lawmakers from both UK Houses of Parliament urged the Bank to both “unleash green investment” and “regulate private finance” in support of the goals of the Paris Agreement.
Policy recommendations made by the letter’s signatories included introducing rules “that ensure that the high risk of fossil fuel lending is reflected in regulation” and making all financial institutions produce “credible transition plans” in line with the Paris Agreement.
The BoE launched its inaugural climate stress tests in June for the UK’s largest banks. However, Bailey has said that the results will not be used to set climate-related capital requirements, which could hike the costs of investing in carbon-intensive companies. Nor has the Bank mandated that lenders produce Paris-aligned transition plans.
On green finance, the letter’s signatories recommended the BoE provide cheap loans to commercial banks that promise to expand lending to sustainable projects, and pursue a partnership with the UK Investment Bank to promote investment “in a fair and green transition”.
Legislators from across the UK’s major political parties signed the letter, along with non-governmental organisations Positive Money, ClientEarth, and Greenpeace, among others.
4) Securities watchdogs target misleading climate disclosures
Financial regulators in Australia and the Netherlands have issued warnings against companies overstating how climate friendly they are in their public disclosures.
On Tuesday, the Dutch securities regulator Autoriteit Financiële Markten (AFM) published a study on the application of European Union sustainability classifications to | [

Back to the trains and 6430 arrived from Carrog
when its runround was witnessed from the other end of the station.
The access slope has long been a favourite spot from where to
photograph the trains but now, sadly, the railway has decided
to replace the exiting fencing with something much more obtrusive
which will probably end the practice. Shame Llangollen Railway..... | [

Concrete which is made from concrete wastes that are environment-friendly are called as Eco-friendly concrete. The other name for eco-friendly concrete is resource conserving frameworks with lowered ecological effect for e.g. Energy conserving, co2 exhausts, drainage.
Mortar is used to hold structure materials such as block or stone with each other. It is composed of a thick blend of water, sand, as well as concrete. The water is made use of to moisten the cement as well as hold the mix together. The water to cement ratio is higher in mortar compared to in concrete in order to create its bonding aspect.
Requirement concrete is put as well as treated on site. On the other hand, precast variation is only fitted on site. Before that, the mix is put right into the type and is after that healed. Agricultural structures and frameworks quite commonly utilize the precast variation. One more application is in multi-storey parking lot. It can additionally be utilized to make various kinds of walls, such as maintaining, sea, domestic or sandwich panel wall surfaces in residences.
Concrete can likewise have a decorative function. Various products could be contributed to the blend while it is being treated or afterwards procedure. It has even more visual compared to utilitarian residential properties. Among the options is stamping. This is attained by additing texture or colour to look like other materials, such as rock or bricks. Treatment with acidic solution, such as hydrochloric acid or sodium bicarbonate additionally includes one-of-a-kind buildings. Ruby pads as well as mills brighten blocks. Polymers or stamped overlays are another option to think about if you agree to introduce your home.
Tensile stamina of concrete is relatively low, however can be enhanced using metal bars or cord. Both products provide 2 kinds of toughness to the structure: steel gives tensile toughness and also concrete compressive. This permits flexible application of reinforced concrete, such as in slabs, wall surfaces as well as structures.
Slabs on ground (e.g. sidewalks, pathways, parking great deals, driveways, floors, canal cellular linings) and structural concrete (e.g. bridge decks, piers, columns, beam of lights, pieces, small grounds, cast-in-place walls, retaining walls) need a minimal curing duration of 7 days for ambient temperature levels over 40 levels Fahrenheit1.
American Concrete Institute (ACI) Board 301 recommends a minimal curing period matching to concrete attaining 70 percent of the specified compressive strength2. The 70 percent stamina level can be reached faster when concrete treatments at greater temperature levels or when specific cement/admixture combinations are made use of.
Concrete is generated in 4 basic kinds, each with special applications as well as properties.
1.Ready-mixed concrete, far one of the most common type, represent almost three-fourths of all concrete. It’s batched at neighborhood plants for delivery in the familiar associate rotating drums.
2. Precast concrete items are cast in a manufacturing facility setting. These items take advantage of limited quality assurance attainable at a production plant. Precast items range from concrete bricks as well as leading rocks to connect girders, structural components, and wall panels. Concrete masonry one more type of produced concrete, could be best understood for its conventional 8-by-8-by-16-inch block. Today’s masonry units could be formed into a wide range of forms, arrangements, colors, and also structures to offer an infinite spectrum of building applications as well as architectural needs.
3.Cement-based products stand for products that oppose the label of “concrete,” yet share a number of its top qualities. Conventional products in this classification include mortar, cement, as well as terrazzo. soil-cement and also roller-compacted concrete” relatives” of concrete are utilized for pavements as well as dams. Various other products in this group consist of flowable fill and also cement-treated bases.
4. A new generation of sophisticated items includes fibers and also special aggregate to produce roof covering tiles, shake roof shingles, lap home siding, and countertops.
Structures made from concrete are recognized to be much safer and also resilient compared to those made from various other products. In truth, the NRMCA recently released their Build with Toughness project that concentrates on the benefits of structure with concrete specifically when it pertains to housing structures.

I hope I am not missing something obvious or being stupid. Here goes...
I have a client who has purchased land in a company. The company is pretty much dormant until such point that he can sell it to a land developer.
Now as CGT for the sale of land is either 10%/20% depending on the band, I can't see why he has opted to buy the land through the company (and suffer the administration costs associated with having a company) if he is to be taxed at 19% Corporation Tax.
It's not as if he is building residential property on it. He is just selling it to the highest bidder when they eventually come along. | [

Easy Quilted Potholder
Project Creator: Corrie Sebire
LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY: EASY
Potholders are such a quick and easy project. This projects uses mini charm squares or scraps of fabric that you may have. It’s easy to put together and you’ll be making them to give away or keep in the kitchen in a nice little stack.
> Sewing machine
> ¼ inch foot (optional)
> Walking foot for your sewing machine
> Scissors or rotary cutter/ruler/mat
> Needle and thread
> Assorted scraps at least 2.5 inches x 2.5 inches (6.5 cms squares) or 25 Moda mini charm squares
> 12 inch (30cm) square of fabric for back
> 2 x 12 inch (30cm) squares of quilt batting
> 5 inches (12cm) of fabric tape/quilt binding/fabric for hanging loop
Cut fabric scraps into squares that are at least 2 ½ inches in size. Layout in a nice arrangement of 5 x 5 squares.
Piece your squares together using a ¼ inch seam. If you prefer to use a ½ inch seam that’s fine but just remember to be consistent throughout the piecing to use the same seam measurement throughout. First we join the squares going down each row and then we join each row together from left to right.
Press with your iron. I press my seams one way on one row and the opposite direction on the next row but it’s up to you. Some people like to press their seams open.
Assemble your fabrics with the 2 pieces of quilt batting on the bottom then the fabric backing (right side up) and then the patchwork front (right side down). Right sides of the fabric will be matching. This is a good time to trim any excess fabric on the backing and batting so that you have neat squares. You can also do it later after we have sewn the potholder layers together.
You want to slip the piece of tape/binding/ribbon that you are using for a hanging loop in between the fabric layers so that when you turn your potholder out you have the hanging loop turned out. To do this lay it flat inside the fabric layers with a little bit of the raw edges hanging out.
Now pin all the way around your fabric sandwich, be careful to leave an opening of about 2 inches that we will turn out.
Using a walking foot sew around all the edges leaving the opening. I use a fairly generous seam allowance of about 2cms as I sew all the way around. You might like to backstitch the start and finish. Cut all corners and any excess batting to remove bulkiness and make it easier to sew through all layers later on.
Turn out your potholder by pulling it through the opening you left. You will have the right sides of your fabric facing outside. Give it a good press.
Now is a good time to check and make sure that your hanging loop is on the outside of your potholder. If not then you’ve made a mistake and now is the time to unpick the loop and turn your potholder back to the inside and reassemble the loop.
With a needle and thread you are going to make some tiny slip stitches to close the opening. Trim all threads and the stitches should look almost invisible. Now your potholder will look like this.
And we need to do some stitches to secure all the layers together. I like to do a few squares inside of each other. You could mark the lines with a washable pen used for sewing/quilting but I just use the seams as a guide for each square and have them half way within each square of fabric. Trim all the threads and you are done. One finished potholder. | [

While most people here are interested in the monthly RMLS reports and Case Shiller data, what they really want to know is "how is my neighborhood holding up?"
To answer this question I was able to get a year over year view of median prices for the Portland market by RMLS neighborhood for January 2009, and the results are interesting. (click on the chart for a larger view)
Tom at Agent503 has year over year data for a few zip codes here.
A few highlights:
For the 4 inner Portland neighborhoods, NE Portland is holding up the best with median prices down 1.8% from Jan 09 vs Jan 08.
Columbia County is faring the worst, with median prices falling 26% in Jan 09.
If you're interested in a beach house, coastal prices are down 17.4%.
The overall Portland market is down 10.7% year over year.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on the 'why's behind the differences.
Next up I'm going to look at why I belive the RMLS methodology for calculating growth rates is seriously flawed, and why you should ignore them - something I have mentioned repeatedly. I will also look at sales rates by neighborhood. Stay tuned! | [

NASA is on a countdown to the Mars InSight probe, something that will happen next Monday. The cost of the probe was 993 million dollars and was the first to be able to listen to earthquakes and study the internal functions of other rocky planets.
The unmanned spacecraft was launched almost seven months ago and has traveled around 482 million kilometers.
Part of its mission is to send information to send human explorers one day to the red planet, something that NASA hopes to achieve in the 2030s.
The probe landing on Mars was the first since 2012, when NASA's Curiosity explorer landed on the surface and analyzed rocks for life signs that might have inhabited a planet next to Earth, now cold and dry.
InSight must survive the entry of a difficult red planetary atmosphere: at this time traveling at 19,800 kilometers per hour and one time inside it must be reduced rapidly to only 8 kilometers per hour.
NASA by ElPaisUy at Scribd
Entry, descent and landing phase will begin at 17:47 on Monday (local time). NASA alluded to that stage as "six and a half minutes of terror".
Of the 43 missions launched to Mars, only 18 have reached the red planet, the success rate is around 40%, and all are from the United States.
"Going to Mars is very, very difficult," said Thomas Zurbuchen, associate administrator of NASA's Science Mission Directorate.
The name InSight translates to "interior exploration" which refers to seismic, geodetic, and heat transport investigations.
With full fuel load, the InSight weighs more than 360 kg, almost the same as a Harley Davidson motorbike. If you spread your solar panels, you can measure almost 6 meters.
The main instrument is an earthquake detection seismometer made by the French Space Agency (CNES).
"This is the only NASA mission arranged around foreign-made instruments," Jean-Yves Le Gall, CNES president, told AFP.
Therefore, he added, "this is a fundamental mission for the United States and France," because it would enable Mars to be better understood.
The six earthquake sensors on the ship are so sensitive that they have to reveal the smallest tremors on Mars, such as the faint pull of their moon Phobos, the impact of meteors and perhaps evidence of volcanic activity.
The ship also has a self-pamming probe that allows excavation to a depth of between 3 and 5 meters, and will enable the realization of the first accurate measurements of underground temperatures on Mars and the amount of heat coming out of the interior
The InSight landing will be supported by a parachute that will allow the speed of the unmanned spacecraft to fall to 19,800 kph. A thermal shield will help slow down the ship and protect it against friction which will result in entry into the atmosphere of the red planet.
The landing site will be in a flat area called Elysium Planitia, which NASA describes as "the largest parking lot on Mars."
The US space agency will know within minutes whether the landing is successful or not, but must wait more than five hours to ensure that the unmanned spacecraft is able to deploy equipment without inconvenience.
They will look for signs of life on the red planet
NASA spacecraft, which will begin in 2020, will look for clues about whether there was ever life on Mars by analyzing the rocks of an ancient lake and delta, two geographical features that can maintain the signs of ancient organisms, reported a few days ago. the American space agency.
The ship will land in a crater with a diameter of 45 kilometers, which was once the home of a river, so that it can maintain signs of organic molecules and microbes, experts explained. | [

Balia : Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday threw an open challenge to the opposition to prove if he owns nami or benami property,land,buglow or car. Replying to the Congress and other opposition parties’ charge at an election rally here, he also asked them to prove if he owns a farm house or set up a Mall.The reference could be to Lalu Prasad Yadav and Sonia Gandhi families which are facing these charges.
Leaders of all these parties including the SP and the BSP have looted the govermment and the poor and become rich through such mal-practices,Modi alleged.” I have been a chief minister for a longer time than these leaders but stand no where near them as far as bank balance or property is concerned”.
The Prime Minister slammed these parties for playing “caste cards” and claimed that neither has he used caste to gain anything including vote nor will he do so in future.” Though I was born into a maha backward family,I have risen above caste and is striving for betterment of men and women of every caste”.
“Poverty removal and Sab Kaa Saath,Sab Kaa Vikas are my aims and I will fight to achieve them till my end”,he promised.His other aims are to see India on the top of the world economically and provide security to the country.
He said he wantsto help the poor because he has lived his life and seen poverty and miseries from close quarters.
According to him,the alliance partners in the state have seen the writing on the wall.”They know that the BJP is much ahead in this state and others and that is why they have resorted to gaali politics.Their frustration is showing”.
Modi said only a strong government at the Centre can provide security and make the country prosperous. A week government cannot take a bold decision like air strike.The Mahamilawatis can only form a weak, Khichdi government.
“My mantra is samman to the poor and safety and security of the nation”, he claimed. Balia is one of 13 constituencies where votes will be cast in the final round on Sunday.The state has 80 constituencies in total. Modi who is likely to visit the state again on Thursday is scheduled to address two rallies in neighbouring Bihar today.

Coffee at our office is free. It's also horrible beyond description, but it's free. Now, at some point even the frugal Dutch predisposition will give way to stomach trouble bnd trembling hands if you keep drinking disgusting (but free) caffeinated swill.
So I caved in and bought me a piece of fruit and a can of this 'whole earth' organic (but sparkling) drink.
Now, I suspect a scam every time the concept of a 'wholesome' soda drink comes along. Often because they're either liquid sugar after all, or they have lots of artificial sweeteners, which I find even more disgusting than office-coffee.
But, I must admit, no added sugar or sweeteners in the ingredients and the taste ain't half bad... Cheers! | [

Springfield, Mo. — A snowy weekend is in our future which means it’s time to bring out the salt. While salt is good for the roads, it can be very bad for the cars on those roads.
How does road salt work?
Salt—or in scientific terms, sodium chloride —lowers the freezing point of water. Water normally freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit and water needs colder temperatures in order to freeze when it’s exposed to salt. The more salt that’s added the more difficult it is for water to freeze.
For road salt to work there needs to be a little water to activate the process. Sometimes, road crews will pre-treat roads with a mix of salt and water called brine. Salt brine can prevent ice from ever forming.
What road salt can do to your car
While road salt is good for making the roads safer to travel on, it’s not good for your vehicle. In fact, it can cause costly repairs if you are not careful.
Salt creates chemical reactions that can corrode your car, according to local auto repair shop owners. Two car parts that are especially susceptible to corrosion and rust are the brake and fuel lines.
How to protect your vehicle during the winter months
- Give your car a good wash and wax
- Have any scrapes, chips or rust spots repaired before the first snow falls
- Get regular car washes
- Consider pre-treating the undercarriage
- Give an older car some extra TLC
- Keep your distance when driving behind trucks spreading salt or brine | [

While worksheets for homeschool can assist in home schooling, they cannot take the place of a proper homeschool curriculum. One disadvantage they have is that they often focus on one subject area only, without integrating the whole curriculum. They can also be simplistic and give the impression that the student understands more than he actually does.
In choosing a worksheet, it is important to review the source and check the material. Ensure that the material and answers are accurate. Evaluate the worksheet by completing it yourself. The worksheet should provide information clearly and accurately. Make sure it is exactly what you need to homeschool your child.

Four representatives from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection inspected the Princeton municipal sewer department site on River Road on Wednesday and determined that materials were dumped at the site without proper approvals, officials confirmed to Planet Princeton yesterday.
Last week, an official from the Mercer County Division of Public Health also visited the site to check for violations and referred the matter to the state.
Princeton Administrator Marc Dashield said the municipality must now hire a licensed site remediation specialist to advise town officials about necessary cleanup actions.
It is still unclear what the costs associated with the cleanup could be and how much money Princeton taxpayers will be required to pay for the remediation of the site. Hundreds of truck loads of dirt and other materials have been dumped at the more than 60-acre site over the past three or four years.
“The municipality is exploring all avenues for holding all contractors responsible for damages incurred by the town,” Dashield said.
Planet Princeton contacted the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection for comment about the site last Thursday and contacted the Mercer County spokesperson yesterday for information about the county’s site visit. In both cases, spokespeople said they would get back to the reporter when they had more information.
A citizen journalist took aerial video footage of the River Road site for Planet Princeton with a drone on Monday. The video shows large areas of dirt and asphalt milling materials near the rear of the property. Planet Princeton compared aerial images with old satellite images of the site. The comparison shows how portions of the property are now covered in layers of dirt that were not there previously. Comparing photos, one can also see that trees and other vegetation were cleared near the rear of the site. The area now contains dirt and other materials.
An investigation by Planet Princeton about dumping at the site was published two weeks ago. Several sources had alleged that dirt, asphalt, concrete, asbestos and other materials from private contractor jobs were being dumped at the River Road site. Planet Princeton collected videos and photos that backed up the assertions of the sources. Some sources also claimed that municipal vehicles and employees from the sewer department were being used by a private contractor. Initially, town officials told Planet Princeton the allegations were perhaps a “misunderstanding” or “misperception.”
The River Road site, which houses the sewer department and the municipal convenience center, is located just across the road from the Millstone River, and the site contains wetlands. The dumping of asphalt and other materials at the site raises numerous environmental issues and concerns.
Recycling and the disposal of asphalt milling materials is highly regulated in New Jersey. According to a New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection document, the bitumen binder used in asphalt paving contains a large concentration of a family of carcinogenic compounds that can pose serious human health and environmental concerns in certain circumstances — for example when asphalt material is ground into very small particles that easily blow off of or wash from the surface. The compounds are known as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Asphalt millings used without a paved top surface have the potential to migrate through the actions of water, wind, and physical displacement, and could possibly contaminate surrounding soils and surface water sediments, according to the NJDEP document.
A private contractor also dumped diesel at the River Road property after cleaning out a “hotbox” used for asphalt. Asbestos, wood, concrete and other materials were also allegedly dumped at the site by contractors.
On Wednesday, the director of the department of infrastructure and operations for the municipality was placed on paid administrative leave while officials continue to investigate the failure of the sewer department to follow NJDEP regulations. The police and Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office are investigating possible criminal activity related to the sewer department property.
Princeton Police Chief Nick Sutter said the police secured the site after the matter was referred to his department. Contractors and employees are not allowed at the site, and the convenience center is currently closed to the public.

Eliminating speargrass from garden site
We've recently moved into a house with a garden bed that's been neglected for years. It's currently full of spear grass, already going to seed. How do I get rid of the grass and it's seeds so I'm not fighting it until the end of time? I hope to do some fall planting this year and really get the veggies going in the spring.
Douglas County Colorado
The biggest problem you will have is that over the years a seed bank will have been created in the top few inches of soil. Most of these types of grasses will be viable for many years and continue to germinate. As you hoe and work the soil you will bring up seeds which will germinate.
So, yes you should cut the current grasses and dispose of them and their seed heads.
No easy solution, each year you will have to pull up the grasses. The less you till the soil the fewer seeds you will bring up into the germination zone in the top 1". I am also providing a link to an article of an extension person who has reclaimed a derelict garden. https://pss.uvm.edu/ppp/articles/renovation.html | [

Time-domain Aeroelastic Analysis of Bridge using
a Truncated Fourier Series of
the Aerodynamic Transfer Function
Jin Wook Park
This study presents the exact relation between the real and imaginary parts of aero-dynamic transfer functions for deriving impulse response functions that satisfy the causality condition. A truncated Fourier series is utilized to express the aerodynam-ic transfer functions, and the causality condition is defined in terms of the coeffi-cients of a Fourier cosine and sine series, which represent the real and imaginary parts of the aerodynamic transfer functions, respectively. The impulse response functions that satisfy the causality condition are obtained through the inverse Fourier transform of the aerodynamic transfer functions that conform to the exact relation. The coefficients of the Fourier series are determined by minimizing the error be-tween the transfer functions formed by measured flutter derivatives and by the Fou-rier series. Since the impulse response functions become a series of Dirac delta functions in the truncated Fourier series approximation method, the aerodynamic forces are easily evaluated as the sum of current and past displacements with the same number of the terms in the Fourier series. This study proposes these the trun-cated Fourier series approximation method. The validity of the truncated Fourier series approximation method is demonstrated for two types of bluff sections and one real bridge: a rectangular section with a width to depth ratio of 5, an H-type section and 2nd Jindo cable stayed bridge. Time-domain aeroelastic analyses are performed for an elastically supported system with each section. The applicability of the trun-cated Fourier series approximation method is also verified for a large-scale bridge, 2nd Jindo cable stayed bridge. The truncated Fourier series approximation method yields stable and accurate solutions for the examples efficiently.

Israel, Jordan, UAE ink huge solar power plant transaction
(MENAFN) On the words of Israeli officials, Israel, Jordan and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) plan to reach a treaty the following week to create a solar power plant in Jordan.
The agreement will likely be signed up in Dubai with US Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry, as announced by The Axios news website.
Axios added "This is the biggest regional cooperation project ever undertaken between Israel and its neighbors," "The plan calls for the UAE-funded solar farm to provide energy mainly to Israel, which will build a desalination plant on its Mediterranean coast to provide water to Jordan.”
"The deal was made possible by the Abraham Accords and was helped across the finish line by several phone calls from Kerry to Jordan's King Abdullah II and Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid.”
In accordance to the news outlet "The deal will only increase the strategic importance of the relationship between Israel and Jordan, which has improved significantly since Naftali Bennett replaced Benjamin Netanyahu as Israel's prime minister. It should also ease Jordan's water crisis."

Hardware/software partition is a critical phase in hardware/software co-design. This paper proposes a hybrid partitioning framework, in which we design a set of protocol converters to construct the interface component between the hardware and software components, and reuse the formerly well-built partitioning rules by introducing protocol converters and rewriting them for this hybrid framework. The hardware components generated by our partitioning process are coded directly in Verilog HDL, which will greatly facilitate the further compilation from it down to netlists.

Briquetting Technology Series BriqTech amp PellTech was founded for manufacturing and supplying of complete devices for the production of briquettespellet from agriculture residual and wood. Recycling wood waste and vegetable residues is the mission and the most important target of our company.
The advantage of briquette machines is that the aggregate used to obtain briquettes does not require any chemical reaction. Briquettes also include coal and other non-renewable fuels that are difficult to produce. Therefore, low cost, waste control and recyclability provide a significant advantage in the production. Advantages of Briquette
The diameter of briquettes produced by abrasive disc extruding briquette machines is 30mm 30mm, while the diameter of mechanical stamping briquetting presses can reach 80mm. 6.Moreover, the shape of mechanical stamping briquettes is diverse, round, square, hexagonal, perforated and other tailored forms.

Briquetting Materials Our expertise in briquette machine manufacturing allows us to offer briquetting systems for most residual materials. This includes, but is not limited to aluminum, cellulose, grinding sludge, tire wire, wood chips and more. Briquetting System Integration
Wood briquette machine refers to the equipment for making briquettes as fuel from organic or biomass materials. For example, sawdust, rice husk, bamboo, coconut shell, hardwood lump, etc. Materials for making briquettes are required 5mm size and 12 moisture. So the accessory equipment wood crusher and sawdust dryer usually are needed.
By processing, i.e. shredding and drying to water contents of usually less than 10, compacted wood residues achieve a high degree of homogeneity through briquetting. Due to the cross-linking of wood fibres and the adhesive effect of the woods own ingredients e.g. lignin, wax, WEIMA wood briquettes are dimensionally stable without any added...

Home & Yard
Landscaping, whether it’s mowing the grass, weed trimming or planting a flower garden, is an enjoyable activity that provides a certain aesthetic quality to our waterfront property. Choose projects that help make your shoreline healthier, help to protect your property from erosion, and improve the ability of your buffer to protect water quality. If you have an undisturbed natural shoreline, the best thing you can do is leave as much of it alone as you can.
Clean and tidy lawns make dirty lakes and streams. They can speed up runoff, contribute to soil erosion and add chemicals from the fertilizers and pesticides used on them. Detergents and cleaners from your home as well as waste from septic systems also pose a threat to our waterways. Reduce the risk of contamination by maintaining septic systems, conserving water and reducing the use of toxic chemicals in and around your home.
- What are some ways I can conserve water?
- I have a dead tree on my shoreline that I would like to cut down, but I’ve been told it is better to leave it alone. Is this true?
- I have a grassy lawn to the water’s edge. How do I start a buffer strip?
- What tips do you have for my lawn?
1. Conserving water doesn’t mean doing without; it’s about reducing what we waste. Through REDUCING, REPAIRING, and RETROFITTING, you can reduce the water you waste, save yourself money, and protect investments like septic systems.
Here are a few suggestions:
* Install a low-flush toilet; this can reduce your water usage by 40 - 50%.
* Retrofitting your existing toilet with a water-saving device can reduce your water usage by up to 20% (45,000 litres a year for a family of four)!
* Do a simple dye test on your toilet to check that it is not running all the time; place a couple of drops of food coloring in the tank and monitor whether it seeps into the bowl. If it does, you will need to replace the tank flapper.
* If you have a septic system: stagger your washing over several days. This prevents overloading the system with large volumes of water at once.
2. A shoreline with plants of various ages is a healthy shoreline. Trees and shrubs ranging in age and types help provide the necessary layers for wildlife habitat and indicate that a shoreline is renewing itself. Having a few dead trees is normal and healthy. Dead trees provide habitat for many kinds of wildlife, and as they decay, gradually return nutrients to the soil. Leave dead trees alone on your shoreline, even in urban areas. When trees fall, they help protect shorelines and streambanks from erosion, provide sources of food for fish and other wildlife, and create pools for fish.
* Allow your standing dead trees to remain. They help anchor soil, and provide shade for new seedlings.
* If you are concerned about safety, rather than felling the tree, have it trimmed to a height of three to four metres, keeping some branches for perching.
* This job can be done by a tree pruning specialist.
* When trees fall into lakes or streams, let them be.
* Leave a few feet of lawn unmowed by the water’s edge.
* Mark off your buffer strip by tying string or ribbon to stakes to remind you not to mow. Keep the edge a little “ragged”
* wildlife and nature prefer flowing lines to straight.
* Refrain from pulling plants that show up in your buffer strip, unless you know for sure they are invasive ones!
* Watch as new plants appear over time. Sit back and enjoy your natural, low maintenance vegetation! In the first year, you’ll see wildflowers and your grass will get taller. Uncut grass grows longer roots, helping to hold your shoreline together. By about the third year, you’ll see shrubs starting to move in.
* Consider increasing your buffer’s width a little bit more each year. Ultimately, the wider the buffer the better.
If your shoreline area has been heavily cleared, you can help speed up the process of creating a buffer by planting some native shrubs or trees.
4. Plan for the smallest possible lawn, built on the opposite side of your home from the water. If you already have a property with a lawn to the water’s edge, read the tips on starting a buffer zone.
Consider replacing some of the grass in your lawn with clover or other groundcovers that don’t need watering. Good lawn maintenance practices will keep your grass healthier and reduce your need for fertilizers and pesticides.
* “Grasscycle”: Use a mulching mower and leave grass clippings on your lawn where possible. They can increase your soil’s | [

We compare convergence rates of Metropolis–Hastings chains to multi-modal target distributions when the proposal distributions can be of “local” and “small world” type. In particular, we show that by adding occasional long-range jumps to a given local proposal distribution, one can turn a chain that is “slowly mixing” (in the complexity of the problem) into a chain that is “rapidly mixing.” To do this, we obtain spectral gap estimates via a new state decomposition theorem and apply an isoperimetric inequality for log-concave probability measures. We discuss potential applicability of our result to Metropolis-coupled Markov chain Monte Carlo schemes.

Focke-Wulf Ta 283
|Focke-Wulf Ta 283
|Focke-Wulf Ta 283 model at the Technikmuseum Speyer
|Terminated by end of war
The Focke-Wulf Ta 283 was a German swept-wing ramjet-powered interceptor aircraft during World War II. The project was developed at the same time as the Focke-Wulf Super Lorin and remained unbuilt before the surrender of Nazi Germany.
Power was to be provided by a Walter HWK rocket engine for take-off and two Pabst ramjets. The ramjets were located on the tips of the sharply swept tailplanes and would be used for cruising. The wings were swept at 45° and were mounted low in the fuselage. Armament was to be two 30 mm (1.18 in) MK 108 cannons.

South Asian Forum for Environment works to achieve sustainable environment development towards poverty alleviation through community based interventions, ensuring equity and reciprocity. The organisation envisages global partnership and participatory policy frame for commons to promote conservation and wise use of natural resources.
Vertical Greens in Urban Environments as Career Corridors for Disadvantaged Youth
Today, there is a huge demand to create vertical greens in the city in order to enhance the aesthetic quality of the environment. The project aims to create vertical gardens as well as incorporate inclusivity in the project by ensuring community participation. The 12-month project proposes to provide an employment opportunity to 60 disadvantaged educated youth and suitably train them to extend this micro-utility service. The project hopes to accomplish its goals by developing vertical green in multi-housing complexes and office premises in Newtown-Rajarhaat area of Kolkata metropolis in exchange of a service fee. Project Co-ordinator: Amrita ChatterjeeLocation: Kolkata
The objective is
(i) To sustain the livelihood of urban poor youth with dignity and
(ii) To preserve urban micro-environment.
The youth will be trained in gardening, nursery and seedling preparation, plant nutrition and vermin compost, micro-irrigation rooftop rainwater harvesting and interior designing. The project beneficiaries will be linked to local banking services and organised as a business group. The team will visit housing and office complexes to collect orders, install corniche gardens, rooftop greenery and poly-houses. as requested. They will also supply seeds and extend maintenance services after installation. Urban productivity and green co-efficient will increase with low water intensive concrete greenery that reduces heat radiation and sequesters urban emission. | [

Julia Poage is a senior English and art double major from Houston, Texas, who lives and works in San Antonio. Her work has been featured in the Art Department’s juried student exhibition, the Mini, as well as the San Antonio Art League’s annual collegiate exhibition. In 2018, she received a Mellon grant, which funded research that resulted in a series of three graphic narrative paintings entitled What Makes a Memorial Museum? This series will be on view at the 2019 National Conference on Undergraduate Research. She has worked as a staff illustrator for Trinity University’s student newspaper, the Trinitonian, and currently works as a freelance graphic designer.
Bust is a self-portrait done in silverpoint on panel, with gouache accents. Silverpoint is a method of drawing in which the artist uses a thin silver rod to scratch their image into a ground prepared with a primer. The beauty of this medium to Julia is that the silverpoint line looks so much like graphite, which is so temporary, but in fact is permanent and inflexible. | [

The minimum wage is a violation of the United States Constitution. According to Judge Andrew Napolitano,
Collective bargaining has increased the economic means of the great majority of working people in the United State by securing decent wages and benefits for union members and driving wages higher even for the unorganized. But business owners are forced to spend more of their money, which is their property, on labor. Paying minimum wage is involuntary: the government forces it upon business owners, thereby violating the Natural Law as well as the Constitution by compelling the owner of the business to negotiate with all of his employees as if they were one. Also, with minimum wage not only requiring higher wages, but prompting higher cots (benefits, pensions, vacation pay) and higher prices as well, the law clearly legislates the government’s theft of property from the businessperson. [Page 87 of “The Freedom Answer Book” by Judge Andrew Napolitano]
Contrary to what some believe, the minimum wage does not help the people it was intended to help. As Judge Napolitano has said,
Since the poorest members of society also tend to be the least-skilled members, if the minimum wage is set above the level of production that a poor person can achieve with his current skill set, then he will never get a job; and the higher the minimum wage, the higher the barrier poor people have to jump in order to gain employment.” He goes on to explain that “If a person’s skill set is valued at $5 an hour by an employer, this valuation will not change just because the government implements an $8 minimum wage. Instead, this person simply will not get the job. What employer will hire a worker who will actually generate a negative return? So, instead of a poor person having the opportunity to hone his skill set and learn the valuable lessons of hard work that would make him more employable, raise his value, grant him a feeling of accomplishment, and increase the wage he can command in the future, this poor person is rendered unemployable and forced to live a substandard life on the welfare dole because of – Yes! – government-mandated minimum wages.” And, let us “Consider…how the minimum wage impacts poor teenagers who aren’t able to present themselves well in an interview. The main weapon an inner-city teenager would have in this situation would be the willingness to work for a lower wage than his middle-class counterparts would. By giving prospective employers this cost-saving incentive, an inner-city youth could increase his chances of one day successfully competing against the middle- and upper-class teens for employment. Once he gain employment, he could learn useful skills, demonstrate his true value to the employer, learn how a certain business works, build a resume, and command a higher wage in the future. However, since government restricts the ability of an individual to choose how much his own labor is worth, this teenager is forced to remain unemployed, never getting an opportunity to learn very important working skills. This is all, of course, supposedly in the greatest interest of the general welfare of the American people. [Pages 88-89 of “The Freedom Answer Book” by Judge Andrew Napolitano]
In their book, “Free to Choose,” Milton and Rose Friedman echo the previous quote by Judge Napolitano in their own words in the two following paragraphs:
The minimum wage law requires employers to discriminate against persons with low skills. No one describes it that way, but that is in fact what it is. Take a poorly educated teenager with little skill whose services are worth, say, only $2.00 an hour. He or she might be eager to work for that wage in order to acquire greater skills that would permit a better job. The law says that such a person may be hired only if the employer is willing to pay him or her (in 1979) $2.90 an hour. Unless an employer is willing to add 90 cents in charity to the $2.00 that the person’s services are worth, the teenager will not be employed. It has always been a mystery to us why a young person is better off unemployed from a job that would pay $2.90 an hour than employed at a job that does pay $2.00 an hour.
The high rate of unemployment among teenagers, and especially black teenagers, is both a scandal and a serious source of social unrest. Yet it is largely a result of minimum wage laws. At the end of World War II the minimum wage was 40 cents an hour. Wartime inflation had made that so low in real terms as to be unimportant. The minimum wage was raised sharply to 75 cents in 1950, to $1.00 in 1956. In the early fifties the unemployment rate for teenagers averaged 10 percent compared with about 4 percent for all workers – moderately higher, as one would expect for a group just entering the labor force. The unemployment rates for white and black teenagers were roughly equal. After minimum wage rates were raised sharply, the | [

So I decided to switch it up a bit. I can never just take a plan and stick with it. My mind goes crazy trying to think of better ways to do things. I ditched the univeral joints on the 4 posts and decided just to bolt on the rails as parallel and level as possible. Instead of going with the diamond shaped linear guides that I showed in a previous episode I went with easy 3 sides of bearings. Roller coasters have the same configuration. Hope to have the gear racks on next so stay tuned!

Game studio Mografi has revealed that it’s bringing its stylish detective adventure game Jenny LeClue – Detectivú to PlayStation 4.
It has you playing as brilliant but young detective who has to explore the town of Arthurton on the hunt for clues to clear her mother’s name of murder. But there’s another layer to the game on top of that.
“Jenny LeClue weaves a story-within-a-story where the players influence the outcome,” reveals Mografi. “Jenny’s world exists in a series of adventure books that author Arthur K. Finklestein has created. The author acts as narrator and guide. Together, you, Jenny, and the author all influence each other.”
You may recall that Jenny LeClue got a playable teaser earlier this year for PC and iOS – those are the other platforms it will be coming to once it’s finished. Oh, and it’s planned as a trilogy, so if the first is successful there will hopefully be two more games. | [

Geometry Topology Seminar
Monday, October 25, 2010 - 2:00pm
1 hour (actually 50 minutes)
Barnard College-Columbia University
Pseudo-Anosov mapping classes on surfaces have a rich structure, uncovered by William Thurston in the 1980's. We will discuss the 1995 Bestvina-Handel algorithmic proof of Thurston's theorem, and in particular the "transition matrix" T that their algorithm computes. We study the Bestvina-Handel proof carefully, and show that the dilatation is the largest real root of a particular polynomial divisor P(x) of the characteristic polynomial C(x) = | xI-T |. While C(x) is in general not an invariant of the mapping class, we prove that P(x) is. The polynomial P(x) contains the minimum polynomial M(x) of the dilatation as a divisor, however it does not in general coincide with M(x).In this talk we will review the background and describe the mathematics that underlies the new invariant. This represents joint work with Peter Brinkmann and Keiko Kawamuro. | [

Most would not know, and would probably be shocked, that Australian uranium is being exported to Ukraine. Less than a year ago, the first shipment landed in Ukraine.
The Joint Standing Committee on Treaties (JSCOT) approved the export plan, even though the committee’s investigation conceded existing safeguards were “not sufficient” and there was a risk Australian nuclear material would disappear off the radar.
Before the uranium left last April, many, including the federal parliament’s treaty review committee, raised serious safety and security concerns about where it would end up.
Uranium is a dual-use material that can be used for civil power production or diverted for far less civil purposes.
Along with the notorious Chernobyl plant, Ukraine has an aging fleet of 15 reactors — two-thirds of which have now exceeded, or are at, their design life use-by date. This radioactive material, now absorbed into Ukraine’s aging nuclear sector, is fuelling uncertainty.
On February 24, the International Atomic Energy Agency said it had not been able to gain access to key nuclear facilities in Ukraine. As it had already downgraded Ukraine’s nuclear transparency, there is a real threat that this uranium has disappeared.
The Australian Conservation Foundation’s (ACF) 2017 submission to JSCOT highlighted how Ukraine’s nuclear sector was plagued by serious and unresolved safety, security and governance issues and that some reactors had been the focus of armed assaults.
ACF told a parliamentary inquiry in 2016 on planned uranium sales to Ukraine that “there are serious and unresolved nuclear safety and security issues with Ukraine’s nuclear sector that would be exacerbated by the proposed treaty action”.
It also said there were “serious containment and waste management issues” at Chernobyl where authorities were still trying to "enclose the stricken reactor complex and reduce the chances of further radioactive releases”.
There are also "deep concerns over those parts of the Ukrainian nuclear sector that are not yet infamous names, including very real security concerns about nuclear facilities being targeted in the [then] current conflict with Russia”.
It went on to mention the Zaporizhzhia nuclear facility, Europe’s largest, was just 200 kilometres from the conflict zone in eastern Ukraine at that time.
“Advancing a bilateral agreement with Ukraine would not significantly affect Australia’s exports. Ukraine’s intention to increase external uranium purchases offers Australian producers the chance of a portion of a potential market valued between $A20–50 million. This is simply an equation where scant return directly entails — and fuels — considerable risk.”
ACF recommended then that Australia instead “help enhance energy security in Ukraine” through the provision of smart and sustainable renewable energy systems and resources. “Nuclear electricity has extremely high capital costs and is centralised and risky, while renewable energy is faster to deploy, more flexible and fit for purpose, as well as safer and cheaper.”
Today, ACF is keen to find out what steps the federal government and its agencies are taking for a proper risk assessment, along with a contingency plan to remove Australian nuclear material, if that is needed.
Although JSCOT ultimately recommended the uranium deal, it made it conditional, saying the Australian government must “undertake a proper assessment of risks, and develop and maintain a suitable contingency plan for the removal of Australian nuclear material if the material is at risk of a loss of regulatory control”.
Whether from unsecured nuclear material, Chernobyl or other compromised nuclear facilities, or the horrific prospect of nuclear war, the Ukraine conflict sharply highlights radioactive risk.
Ukraine urgently needs hostilities to cease and the world needs a comprehensive transition to renewable energy systems that cannot be so easily weaponised.

And it takes a team of attentive, expert coffee farmers to maintain a sustainable coffee farm with healthy and productive trees — while also facing the threat of Coffee Rust (or La Roya), the single biggest threat to coffee production worldwide.
At Hacienda Alsacia farm outside of San Jose, Costa Rica, Starbucks Director of Global Agronomy Carlos Mario Rodriguez is leading the industry’s charge against coffee rust. In addition to developing new highly productive rust-resistant hybrid coffee trees, he’s also working on new growing techniques and methods of caring for and managing coffee crops as a whole. And all this knowledge and discovery flows freely to coffee farmers all over the world through our global network of Farmer Support Centers.
Coffee farmers are constantly cycling new trees onto the land as the production of older ones decline with age. Here, the head farmer surveys a two-year-old crop at Hacienda Alsacia.
A Tree’s Main Threat
The coffee rust fungus attacks the coffee trees’ leaves and causes them to fall off, halting photosynthesis and ultimately killing the tree.
Erik Andre’s farm, Bella Vista, was hit hard by coffee rust, which caused a significant decline in coffee production. He’s slowly replacing older trees like the one he holds below with new, rust-resistant trees.
Here’s a closer look at a tree that can no longer produce coffee due to coffee rust and nematode infestation. The time and money farmers must invest in replacing trees like these causes significant setbacks, ultimately threatening profitability of the farm.
Finding a Solution
Carlos stands in the coffee nursery at Hacienda Alsacia, where he and his team continue to develop new rust-resistant hybrids and growing techniques to share across the global network of Farmer Support Centers.
Carlos uses traditional cross pollination methods, as well as innovative growing and watering techniques, to create new rust-resistant hybrids that offer increased productivity of high-quality coffee.

The Life of Healthy Trees
These coffee seedlings have hit the one-year mark and are ready to be planted in the ground.
Banana trees offer shade to young coffee trees at Bella Vista Farm, providing even temperature and wind protection, while also reducing weeds.
Many of the trees in this area are about two years old and just starting to produce cherries. In another year or so they’ll reach full production, which they can maintain for up to two decades. While coffee trees can produce coffee for up to 25 years, the farm must constantly replace older trees to stay productive.
Carlos and farm owner Erik Andre inspect a promising new rust-resistant hybrid. This three-year-old tree is producing more coffee fruit than older varieties.
This healthy coffee tree at Bella Vista Farm is producing ripe, red coffee cherries that will be picked within days and processed shortly after. Harvest time for coffee in Costa Rica typically lasts from September to February.
One Tree For Every Bag
As part of our commitment to fostering thriving coffee communities, Starbucks will provide a coffee tree to Conservation International for each bag of coffee sold from participating stores in the U.S. Get the whole story here. | [

Unveiling the Spectacular World of Laser Light Shows
Table of Contents
Laser light shows have captured the imagination of audiences worldwide with their mesmerizing displays of vibrant colors and intricate patterns. These visually stunning spectacles combine artistry, technology, and precision to create unforgettable experiences. In this article, we will delve into the world of laser light shows, discussing their purpose, the technology behind them, and some popular examples that you can explore, including the Starshower Laser Light Show and the laser light show projector.
Laser light shows are captivating displays of light that use lasers to create stunning visual effects. These shows are popular attractions at concerts, festivals, and special events around the world. In this article, we will explore what a laser light show is, how it works, and where you can find laser light shows near you.
What is a Laser Light Show?
A laser light show is a performance that utilizes laser beams to produce a range of visual effects, including animated graphics, abstract patterns, and synchronized movements. These shows are typically presented in darkened spaces, such as concert venues, planetariums, or outdoor events, to enhance the visibility of the laser beams. The laser beams are projected onto surfaces such as walls, screens, or even water bodies, creating an immersive and ethereal visual experience.
A laser light show is a visually stunning performance that utilizes laser beams to create intricate patterns, animations, and effects. The show combines the science of optics, the art of choreography, and the magic of music to produce a captivating experience for spectators. These shows often feature a combination of vibrant colors, synchronized movements, and breathtaking visuals that are projected onto various surfaces, such as screens, buildings, or even water.
Technology Behind Laser Light Shows:
Laser light shows rely on advanced technology to achieve their dazzling effects. High-powered lasers emit beams of intense light, which are then manipulated using mirrors, lenses, and other optical devices. By precisely controlling the direction, intensity, and color of the laser beams, technicians create intricate patterns and illusions. Modern laser systems are computer-controlled, allowing for real-time synchronization with music or other multimedia elements.
The laser light show projector uses a process called stimulated emission to create a coherent beam of light. In this process, the laser source excites atoms in a lasing medium such as gas, liquid, or crystal. When the atoms return to their ground state, they release energy in the form of light, which is then amplified by the mirrors and lenses in the laser projector.
The laser beam can be manipulated using mirrors to reflect and focus the beam, and the laser projector can also be programmed to control the color, intensity, and movement of the laser beam. This allows for a wide range of visual effects to be created, from simple patterns to complex animations.
Laser light shows rely on sophisticated technology to achieve their dazzling effects. Here are some key components and techniques involved:
1. Lasers: The heart of a laser light show lies in the lasers themselves. These devices emit intense beams of coherent light that are precisely controlled to create various visual effects. Different types of lasers, such as gas lasers, solid-state lasers, and diode lasers, are used depending on the desired outcome.
2. Scanners: Scanners are responsible for directing the laser beams and controlling their movement. They consist of mirrors that can tilt and rotate at high speeds, allowing for the projection of laser beams in different directions. This enables the creation of intricate patterns and animations.
3.Software and Control Systems: Laser light shows are programmed using specialized software that controls the scanners and synchronizes them with the music or audio being played. This enables precise coordination between the visuals and the accompanying sound, resulting in a seamless and immersive experience.
Examples of Laser Light Shows
One popular laser light show is the StarShower Laser Light Show, which is a consumer-grade laser projector that can be used to project laser lights onto the exterior of a house or building. The StarShower projector can create a variety of effects, including green and red laser lights that move in patterns or create a static display.
Another example of a laser light show is the Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC) in Las Vegas. This annual festival features multiple stages with synchronized laser light shows that are timed to the music. The laser light shows at EDC are some of the most advanced and visually stunning displays in the world, featuring intricate animations, 3D effects, and lasers that shoot into the sky.

Romans 8:20 Against it's will everything on earth was subjected to God's curse.
Romans 8:21 All creation anticipates the day when it will join God's children in glorious freedom from death and decay.
Can I get a Halleujah! Honestly, this verse made my heart do little flips. What a promise! I'm still in awe.
Like us, creation experiences death. Flowers lose their brillance, trees lose their leaves, and animals are either subjected to the food chain or get old and pass away. But they are anticipating the day when that will be no more. The day when the symphony of creation will sound like beautiful music once again.
Romans 8:22 For we know that all creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time.
Now..you're probably expecting something like "with all of these earthquakes and natural diasters it's coming soon" I don't know. No one does. I wait eagerly for that day, but when it is I have no clue. To be honest there is some stuff I want to do on earth before BUT that is my own immaturity shining through. I pray that God shows me that His glory is infinitely better than getting married or raising children and a family. Those are my earthly desires, but His glory will be so much better. I sincerely hope he'll change my heart in that. This world is not my home, but I'm treating it as if it were. I need to be ready to go at a moment's notice, but right now I have TONS of proverbial packing to do.
Time to meditate a little more while I close up shop (literally) These past couple of days have been challenging but God shines through, I wish I went to him more often when my life seems to fall apart. I'm getting better though. My life will NEVER fall apart while He is in it. "All of my life, in every season, You are still God, I have a reason to sing. I have a reason to worship" | [
