Why Is My DUI Case Worth More Than Others?
Many people ask this question but when the purpose behind punitive damages and jury anger and sympathy is explained, it seems much easier to understand. In Georgia, a person injured in an automobile accident can recover for their compensatory damages such as their medical bills and lost wages as well as punitive damages. Punitive damages are intended to punish the person to create a strong incentive for them not to do the same thing again. A financial incentive, as we all learned at a young age, is an extremely valuable tool to encourage people not to behave badly.
Insurance companies rightly fear punitive damages involving drunk driving accidents or drug related car wrecks. Juries certainly do not look fondly upon someone who, after consuming much too much liquor, beer or drugs decides to get behind the wheel while people are going to and from work, school, Church, etc.
The best thing you can do is to explore all of your options. We recently settled a case for the policy limits even though our client had $200.00 in medical bills. Our investigation, which was extremely thorough, revealed prior DUI’s, a high speed chase, etc. We were able to obtain the dash cam of the police officer which revealed the drunken stupor of the Defendant. We were able to send the settlement package, which included the video and information regarding the prior DUI’s, to the insurance company who promptly paid the policy limits without fight or delay. Otherwise, that case had a settlement value somewhere in the range of $250.00 – $300.00.
So what should you do if you are involved in a drunk driving accident?
First, if you have any belief the other driver is under the influence of drugs or alcohol, let the police office know. Often, it is our experience the Defendant involved in the collision “wakes up” pretty quickly and loses the drunken side effects you may have seen earlier. The police officer may not notice them and it would be prudent for you to let him/her know.
Second, if you see the other driver do anything such as place gum in their mouth, pour out beer, throw things away, etc., let the police officer know. You should not feel guilty about trying to get someone who decided to drive drunk off the road. We have had many cases where we have seen people literally place things in their trunk, go get chewing gum while waiting on the police, etc.
Third, let the police know of any statements made by the other driver. It is not unusual for a drunk driver to offer to pay money to avoid calling the police or urge you to contact their insurance company or otherwise play to your sympathies. Let the police know what is going on. If you do not, it will not make it into the report and will have less credibility when you mention it at your deposition or at the trial.
Punitive damages may hold an extreme value in these cases. However, if the investigating officer does not know what has occurred, it makes it very difficult for him to investigate it. Once he does that investigation, a talented lawyer can use that to best punish the Defendant through punitive damages and ensure that the Plaintiff receives just compensation as paid by the insurance company. Even if the physical injuries are not egregious, Georgia law is fair as it relates to the punitive damages.
If you have any questions, it is important to explore those with a lawyer. | [

Do you ever feel so excited about something that it actually scares you?
Like a dream of yours could possibly come true in the near future and taking that leap gives you anxiety?
I think stepping out of my comfort zone is scary but I know its essential in order to evolve into something more. Maybe its just a new way of life. Maybe thats moving across the country, maybe it's ending a relationship that you are no longer happy in.
Evoling can mean making big changes or small changes. Either way, I am learning that change is okay even though it might be scary at the time.
I know that I have to trust in God's plan because I know it is far greater that anything I could ever imagine.
"in their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes ther steps."
My dream is to have a big garden on some land. With a milk cow and a beautiful house to raise my babies. | [

T-Mobile US, Inc. (NASDAQ: TMUS) reported its most recent quarterly results after markets closed Wednesday and the stock was halted following these results. The company said that it had $0.67 in earnings per share (EPS) and $10.2 billion in revenue, compared with consensus estimates from Thomson Reuters that called for $0.38 in EPS and $9.81 billion in revenue. The same period from last year had $0.25 in EPS and $9.22 billion in revenue.
During the quarter, T-Mobile racked up 1.3 million total net additions, marking 17 straight quarters of adding over 1 million. At the same time, the cell provider had 817,000 total branded postpaid net additions and it expects to lead the industry for the 6th consecutive quarter. The firm also had 786,000 branded postpaid phone net additions.
In terms of guidance for the rest of 2017, T-Mobile increased the range of its branded postpaid net consumer additions to a range of 3.0 million to 3.6 million from the previous range of 2.8 million to 3.5 million. The firm also increased its adjusted EBITDA guidance to $10.5 billion to $10.9 billion from $10.4 billion to $10.8 billion.
There are consensus estimates calling for $2.06 in EPS and $40.34 billion in revenue for the 2017 full year.
John Legere, President and CEO of T-Mobile, commented:
We just delivered a quarter with record service revenue, record-low churn, strong net income and record Adjusted EBITDA – all while leading the industry in postpaid phone growth. On top of that, our network just keeps getting better and faster while the Duopoly’s networks seem to be choking after we forced them to go unlimited. Make no mistake about it, the Un-carrier will not stop forcing change in this industry and our Q2 results are more proof that consumers are responding!
Shares of T-Mobile closed Wednesday at $61.97, with a consensus analyst price target of $70.77 and a 52-week range of $43.64 to $68.88. Following the release of the earnings report, the stock was halted but will resume trading after 4:30 ET. | [

North Korean Oil Minister Kim Hui Yong has met with Gazprom chief Aleksei Miller to discuss construction of a natural-gas pipeline along the Korean Peninsula.
A Gazprom statement said the “two sides agreed to form a working group for implementation of the project.”
Russia has been pushing for construction of the pipeline to South Korea through North Korea.
Seoul is anxious to purchase Russian gas but without the North’s participation the only possible pipeline routes lie along the bottom of the Yellow Sea or the Sea of Japan, projects both Seoul and Gazprom have called expensive.

0.Keurig Green Mountain, the maker of coffee pod machines, said on Monday that it planned to buy the Dr Pepper Snapple Group in an $18.7 billion deal that would create a giant whose products run from instant coffee to soft drinks.
The deal is the latest orchestrated by JAB Holding Company, the investment firm that has quickly amassed a global coffee-based empire that includes Keurig, Peet’s and Krispy Kreme. With the acquisition of Dr Pepper Snapple, Keurig would gain a much wider distribution network, as well as well-known brands like Dr Pepper, 7Up and Snapple.
The transaction also raises the possibility of Dr Pepper Snapple’s brands eventually producing pods to let consumers produce their soft drinks at home.
“Our view of the industry through the lens of consumer needs, versus traditional manufacturer-defined segments, unlocks the opportunity to combine hot and cold beverages,” Bob Gamgort, Keurig’s chief executive, said in a statement.
Under the terms of the proposed transaction, Keurig would merge with Dr Pepper Snapple, creating a new company to be called Keurig Dr Pepper. Shareholders in Dr Pepper Snapple would receive a cash dividend of $103.75 per share, about 8 percent higher than Dr Pepper Snapple’s closing share price on Friday.
Keurig’s current shareholders would own about 87 percent of the combined company, with Dr Pepper Snapple investors owning the remainder. JAB would be the biggest stock owner if the deal were to complete, with Mondelez International, the snack food company that had been a minority investor in Keurig, holding a 13 percent stake.
“We have been very pleased with our coffee partnership with Keurig, and strongly support the strategic rationale for this transaction,” Dirk Van de Put, Mondelez’s chief executive, said in a statement.
Shares in Dr Pepper Snapple leapt nearly 33 percent in premarket trading on Monday, a sign of hope among some investors that another suitor for the soft-drink company could emerge.
Mr. Gamgort would remain chief executive at Keurig Dr Pepper. His counterpart at Dr Pepper Snapple, Larry Young, would become a director of the combined company.
Keurig said that it expected to generate about $600 million in annual cost savings within three years, and that it planned to significantly reduce its overall debt by that time.
The transaction is expected to close by June 30, subject to approval by Dr Pepper Snapple shareholders and by regulators. | [

Puerto Rico – In times of COVID-19, where social distancing is promoted as the most effective method to prevent the spread of the virus, self-care of teeth and gums is necessary to avoid emergency visits to the dentist.
In his campaign Spread healthy habits, the Department of Health (DS) of Puerto Rico advises to consume healthy foods, avoid soft drinks and sugary foods such as sweets, flavored milk, bananas, among others, and if you do consume them, wash your teeth well.
It also recommends that pregnant women should take care of their teeth to avoid any complications and children should not go to bed with a bottle, as this increases their risk of cavities and other oral health conditions.
On the other hand, the DS recommends that people with removable dentures wash them using an extra soft brush, with soap and water. Likewise, it is important that they remove their teeth before going to sleep.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC, for its acronym in English), if the mouth has any disease, physical health will be affected, digestion, and even self-esteem.
Poor oral health can lead to problems. If you don’t take care of your teeth and gums, you can suffer from oral and facial pain, tooth loss, problems with the heart and other important organs (from mouth infections), digestion problems that can lead to intestinal failure or colon syndrome irritable, among others.
To avoid going to the dentist in times of COVID-19, you need to take care of your oral health every day at home by doing the following:
- Brush your teeth for two to three minutes, at least twice a day, with fluoridated toothpaste.
- Use dental floss daily to remove plaque from the places your brush cannot reach.
- Eat a healthy diet to provide the necessary nutrients (vitamins A and C, in particular) to prevent gum disease.
- Avoid cigarettes and smokeless tobacco, which can contribute to gum disease and oral cancer.
If you have an oral health emergency, call your dentist and ask what to do. Avoid visiting emergency rooms in hospitals for oral problems. They should only be used for patients with severe respiratory complications, related to COVID-19 or some other critical situation. | [

What is Landlord Protector Insurance?
Landlord protector insurance is designed to protect property owners who rent their properties to other people as primary residences. Landlords face unique and significant liabilities and risks in making their properties available to tenants. Landlord protector insurance isn’t required in a couple of states, but property owners nevertheless have certain legal responsibilities to their tenants.
Do You Need Landlord Protector Insurance? You’re Covered with Woods Insurance
If you’re a landlord, this insurance will help you satisfy your legal obligations to people renting your property if an unexpected disaster or accident occurs. Your rental holdings represent a significant investment on your part, and landlord insurance is a must for protecting it.
Insurance Policies Tailored to Your Needs
When you purchase landlord insurance from Woods Insurance Agency, you have considerable flexibility regarding customizing your coverage. An important part of our job is helping you understand all the aspects of proper coverage. We’ll review all your risks and liabilities with you and thoroughly address all your questions. We want you to make educated decisions regarding suitable coverages for you, your properties, and all your tenants.
What Does Landlord Protector Insurance Cover?
A Woods Landlord Protector Insurance policy covers a wide range of protections:
Building coverage protects various buildings and structures on the property itself. In addition to tenant buildings, other covered structures can include garages, storage buildings, swimming pools, fences, retaining walls, and other structures.
In addition, building coverage also protects any of the landlord’s personal property they may use to maintain and/or service the property.
Liability coverage protects you, the property owner, from liability claims arising due to bodily injury and property damage suffered by tenants.
Loss of Income Coverage
It’s entirely possible that, in an emergency, you could be obliged to suspend operations of your rental property temporarily. If that happens, loss of income coverage reimburses the property owner for lost income during said closure. | [

Governor Aminu Bello Masari of Katsina state, yesterday lamented that 600,000 of the one million pupils enrolled in the state primary school for the 2013/2014 academy year by the past administration are out of school, while the 400,000 pupils remaining in school are studying under conditions that are not conducive for learning.
Addressing a dinner organised by the Bakatsiniya Magazine in his honour in Kaduna yesterday, Masari decried the dilapidated and backward state of education in the North, especially northeast and northwest.
He stated the situation, if not arrested immediately, would further endanger the region and “add more misery to the already poor condition of the region that is currently languishing under high rate of poverty, unemployment and illiteracy.
The former Speaker said that education used to be the pride of the people of Katsina state with many past and present leaders of the country having schooled in the state.
He lamented that unfortunately, the state education system had “been neglected for too long and the effect is visible in the state, saying that if you did not give children the right education they will seek alternative training for themselves and that is the genesis of the present security challenges bedeviling the nation today”.
The Katsina state governor further added that agriculture in the past has been the bedrock of the state economy as 70per cent of the people depend on it.
He, however, decried past policies that made it difficult for farmers to get fertilizers, which were diverted to shylock dealers who exploited the farmers.
He assured the people of the state that his administration is taking inventory of farmers in the state to ascertain their actual numbers before knowing the right policy to impact positively on them.
“In line with our campaign promises to the people of Katsina state, we are making all money that come to the state and how they are spent public, everybody is free to challenge us if he or she is not satisfy with the way we are spending the people money.
“We are also warning that the era of a permanent secretary alone taking N9.5 billion in cash from a ministry is over. The setback in the state is a result of such corrupt practices but the good news is that we are going to use all legal means to recover all stolen monies from those involved.”
Chairman of the occasion, Engr. Kabir Abdullahi said the wind of changes blowing across the nation is visible in Katsina state and the government led by Rt, Hon Aminu Bello Masari will not disappoint the people of the state. He however solicited for support from the people of the state so the good days can return back to Katsina state.
National Vice President of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, North West Zone Comrade Yusuf Idris, who was the guest speaker, commended the Katsina state Governor for working in line with his campaign promises especially by setting up various committees in vital sectors to study what is actually on ground in the ground.
“We as Journalists will work with the government of Katsina state, we will praise them when necessary and correct them when the needs arises,” he said.

Swellendam - Garden Route
Dutch Reformed Church Swellendam
The town of Swellendam is the third oldest town in South Africa, the other two older towns being Stellenbosch and Cape Town.
Swellendam is situated at the base of the Langekloof mountain range and lies in the shadow of the Clock Peaks so named as the time can be told by looking at the shadows cast by them.
Being half way between Cape Town and Mossel Bay on the Garden route it is an important stop of for travellers to the east.
The town was established in 1747 and is named after the then governor of the Cape, Hendrik Swellengrebel (who was the first South African born governor of the Cape) and his wife Helena ten Damme.
Being one of the older towns in South Africa, Swellendam contains numerous old buildings which date back to the 1700's when the town was established.
The influence of the Dutch and the British can still be seen today in the many Cape Dutch and Victorian buildings dotted around the town.
One of the important buildings left over from early days is the old Drostdy (Magistrates Courts) which was built in 1749.
It was used as the magistrate's residence and also served as court and prison until 1836.
Today the complex is used as a museum with displays of beautiful furniture including kitchen equipment, horse carriages and an extensive photo and picture collection depicting the history of the town.
As in most Cape towns there is always a Dutch Reformed church.
Swellendam is no exception and it boasts the old Oefenings Huis which was built in 1838 as a place of worship and an educational centre for freed slaves.
The building incorporates Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque and other Cape styles and has a charm all of its own.
Other than the historical buildings some interesting events have taken place in Swellendam.
The most well known event happened in June of 1795 when the local magistrate Mr A A Landman was driven out of the town by the free burghers (citizens) as they were tired of the misrule of the Dutch East India company who governed the Cape at the time.
Swellendam declared itself an independent Republic and installed Hermanus Steyn as the president.
The life of this republic was shortlived as shortly afterwards the British invaded the Cape and established British rule.
Old Drostdy built in 1747 and enlarged in 1813
The fish pond and old cannon in the garden
In 1865 a large fire devastated the town when it swept through and destroyed many of the old buildings in the area.
All was not lost however, as the Overberg region in which Swellendam is situated is rich in historic sites dating back over a million years.
The Stone Age era can be linked to the Khoi Khoi (the Hessequa or " people of the trees" as they were known ) who arrived in the Swellendam region about 2000 years ago.
These nomadic people who moved about in small groups were herders who farmed fat tailed sheep and long horn cattle.
Each group was headed by a captain who could be male or female.
The Khoi often set up camps on the banks of the Breede River just outside Swellendam in what is today known as the Bontebok National park.
Evidence of their camps can still be seen today.
The Hessequa's demise began when they made contact with the Dutch in the 1600's.
Diseases such as smallpox were spread to the Khoi and as they had no resistance to them they died like flies.
Competition for land and the introduction of alcohol and tobacco further decimated the clans of the Hessequa’s living in the region.
Today there are very few descendents of the Khoi people left.
Over the years Swellendam has established itself as a commercial centre in the Overberg following the tradition of Barry and Nephews, merchants, who dominated the scene during the early days of Swellendam.
In between all the regular sites and sounds to be found in this inland town are a number of unique places to visit.
There is a house dedicated to fairies and for a small fee you are allowed to enter and experience their world.
The 430 ha Marloth flower reserve is nearby on the slopes of the mountain and in spring time when the fynbos and proteas are in bloom it transforms itself into a flower paradise.
Next time you drive through this interesting historic town take time out to visit some of its attractions.

Chesapeake Development Holdings LLC plans to build Kempsville Road Retreat II, a community for adults ages 55 and older, in the 1200 block of Kempsville Road. The developer got approval to rezone almost 30 acres from agricultural to residential for the development of 81 units, a mix of townhomes and fourplexes – apartments built in blocks of four.
The manufactured homes community also has a newly constructed 156 wet-slip marina. The marina and the homes occupy a 14.8-acre site in a small bay and creek at the point where the York River flows into the Chesapeake Bay.
City officials have long sought to mold the rapidly changing landscape of southern Chesapeake. Now, their intentions are becoming clearer, at least for one area along U.S. 17. | [

Safe and flexible integration and monitoring of wind farms in a hybrid energy system
Combining renewable energy sources with conversion and storage is a development at full speed in offshore wind. The aim is to have wind farms, solar farms, electrolysis units, and battery systems working together in one sustainable hybrid power plant, maximising the use of the wind farm while minimising the amount of energy required and system costs.
Monitoring and controlling energy flows
What makes this complex is that it involves different energy sources and storage types, which must be able to provide energy at any time. This requires the ability to accurately monitor and control the energy flows between these sources, meaning all cables and other components must be optimally coordinated. In addition, our cybersecurity experts will need to ensure that the networks are extremely well protected against external attacks.
Hybrid power plants play an important role in smoothing out supply peaks. Overproduction of wind energy can cause congestion in the grid. When this is the case, it makes sense to convert surplus electricity into hydrogen through electrolysis and to bring it ashore for direct use or storage. Another possibility is to store electricity in battery systems and to discharge the stored energy when there is little wind.
Accurately aligning supply and demand
To accurately align supply and demand, TNO has developed an Energy Management System (pdf) (EMS) to regulate this type of hybrid energy system. This system enables the precise alignment with market demand, thereby also ensuring the electricity grid is optimally utilised. EMS integrates wind and solar energy sources, an electrolyser for the production of green hydrogen, a battery, and a heat-conversion system for planning and monitoring, using simulation and control models to optimally combine all these elements. It is a unique tool for designers, developers, operators, and network managers.
There are many advantages to align renewable energy sources with conversion and storage. Total energy production increases because overcapacity can be stored. The flexibility of the system allows energy to be stored in batteries when the price is low and used when it is high. EMS can accurately predict the amount of energy generated per hour, resulting in highly efficient production.
The TNO and Wageningen Research SWITCH Lab is a testing station in which we work on innovations in this field, testing innovations on a small scale before applying them on a larger scale. Industrial parties can have their configurations tested in practice at the lab, and develop control strategies for them.
The EU’s MAGPIE (‘sMArt Green Ports as Integrated Efficient multimodal hubs’) project is about creating green ports that use a sustainable energy supply and transport. In this consortium made up of dozens of market and knowledge parties, TNO is contributing to the demonstration of the application of batteries in the port of Rotterdam.

The strong growth of wind at sea means that more and more wind energy has to be fed into the energy system. TNO is investigating what infrastructure is needed for this.
Maximising the value of wind energy in the future energy mix
The playing field for wind energy is about to change. TNO investigates how the value of wind energy can be maximised.
Wind energy system integration
TNO researches the system integration of wind energy. How do you transport and convert wind energy and how do you store it?
Cooperation North Sea countries accelerates energy transition in the North Sea
The North Sea must become the driving force behind the European energy transition and an example to the rest of the world. There are numerous opportunities for smart combinations and repurposing of offshore energy systems, such as with hydrogen production or with wind energy. Together with the British research organisation Net Zero Technology Center, TNO has taken the initiative to launch One North Sea, an international collaboration platform for the countries bordering the North Sea. | [

Analytical summary - Health financing system
O conteúdo em Portugês estará disponível em breve.
The Ministry of Health in Ethiopia developed and implemented a Health Care Financing Strategy in 2007 to increase funding for health by improving resource mobilization and to ensure equitable resource allocation, efficiency of resource utilization and financial protection of its citizens.
Components of the Strategy include:
- revenue retention and utilization
- facility governance
- a system of fee waiver and exemption for those who cannot afford to pay
- outsourcing of non-clinical services
- establishing a private sector to strengthen the supply and delivery of quality health services.
Performance-based contracting is also used to improve supply, by transferring money from purchasers (the Ministry of Health, regional health bureaus and woreda health offices) to service providers (health facilities) conditional on achieving predetermined performance targets.
Moreover, to address financial barriers to accessing health services and to pool risks of doing so, the Government of Ethiopia recently initiated community-based health insurance for the rural and urban informal sectors and social health insurance for the formal sector.
The National Health Account (NHA) 4 shows that most of the general health care was financed by the rest of the world, followed by households (see Figure 1). There was also a large increase in general health expenditure between NHA 3 (2004–2005) and NHA 4 (2007–2008), the highest increment being due to households (176%) and the rest of the world (143%) (see Figure 2).
Despite this significant increase, the per capita national health expenditure was only US$ 16.1 in 2007–2008, far below the US$ 34 recommend by the WHO Commission on Macroeconomics and Health. NHA 4 shows that the health sector is mostly financed by donors and that households are substantially burdened by high spending on health.
Regarding financing agents, the private sector (including households, private employers and non-profit institutions) managed 44% of the NHA, while the Government and the rest of the world managed 42% and 14% of the NHA, respectively (see Figure 3). Therefore, the private sector and households, followed by the Government, mainly manage and control health sector spending.
Although the Government manages 42% of health sector spending, it has little flexibility in decision-making on allocation and utilization of resources, as most resources from donors come already ear-marked.
Curative care consumed most of the national health expenditure (42%) while prevention of communicable diseases and maternal and child health accounted for 25% (see Figure 4). Between NHA 3 and NHA 4, there was a significant shift from curative care to preventive health care, in line with the Government’s health-promotion policy.
NHA 4 shows that key areas of the health sector are heavy financed by donors, raising the question of sustainability. The effectiveness of resource utilization by the various public health programmes implemented by different partners needs to be regularly monitored and corrected.
The way forward
- Strengthen the financial management, procurement and budgeting system to better alignment with the Government system.
- Continue advocating for increased resource allocation from the Government budget and mobilize additional funding from international partners.
- Speed up the implementation of social health insurance and community-based health insurance by identifying those at greatest need.

Four More Mid-80s Movies
Fletch is based on 1974 novel of the same name by Gregory McDonald which launched a popular series. I haven't read the book of any others in the series so I don't how close on an adaptation this is.
Chevy Chase is hilarious as I.M. Fletcher, an investigative news reporter. Chase did a lot of ad-libbing and there is plenty of rapid fire wordplay that reminded me of Groucho Marx.
The mystery here is actually pretty interesting and I wonder if it was played more straight in the books. The basic set-up is that while Fletch is undercover as a junkie to write a drug story, a rich man named Alan Stanwyk (played by Tim Matheson) asks Fletch to murder him for money because he is dying of cancer so that Stanwyk's family can collect money from his life insurance.
Although the movie is only 98 minutes there is some filler. For example, there is a dream sequence in which Fletch imagines he is a member of the Los Angeles Lakers. While this was pretty funny, it was already established he was a Lakers fan and this scene just slowed down the story. It would've been funnier if this wasn't a dream, and was somehow actually involved with the plot. For example, maybe Fletch could've been spying on Alan Stanwyk at a Lakers game by pretending to be some European basketball player the Lakers just signed. One sub-plot that is brought up is that Fletch is behind on alimony payment to his ex-wife which is why he sneaks into his apartment. However, after this scene it is completely dropped. Maybe it is just a recurring joke in the book series?
The music is very dated and it doesn't get much more 80s than this soundtrack. That said, I do like the main theme by Harold Faltermeyer, who also did music for the mid-80s movies Beverly Hills Cop and Top Gun.
Besides star Chevy Chase and the already mentioned Tim Matheson the supporting cast is very good and includes M. Emmet Walsh, William Sanderson, (Both who were in Blade Runner) George Wendt, Geena Davis, Joe Don Baker, Kenneth Mars, and the first credited film role for James Avery. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar even plays himself!
Black Moon Rising (1986)
I wanted to see this movie because the story was by John Carpenter who is also credited as co-screenwriter. Black Moon Rising was one of three movies (the others being Eyes of Laura Mars and Halloween II) where Carpenter got a writing credit but did not direct. I am a big John Carpenter fan and eventually want to see all of his films. I wouldn't count this one as he didn't direct it, so I'll just consider it a bonus Carpenter movie!
Black Moon Rising is a high tech thriller about a thief named Quint (played by Tommy Lee Jones) hired by the FBI to steal a data tape they plan on using as evidence against a corrupt company. Quint gets with the theft but has to hide the tape in a prototype super car because he is about to be searched. The car, Black Moon, then gets stolen by a top car thief. Quint works with the car's inventors to track down and steal back both the car and the tape.
The "Black Moon" is the cool, rare 1980 Wingho Concordia II. In the movie the car has a rear view camera which is pretty cool since we now have this technology.
Tommy Lee Jones takes a beating as Quint and did most of own stunts. Jones does a good job of playing a rogue hero. While the movie stars Tommy Lee Jones, we also have Linda Hamilton as Nina, a car thief and our female lead. This was Hamilton's first movie made after The Terminator. There are also a bunch of character actors I recognized such as William Sanderson (also in Fletch), Bubba Smith, Keenan Wynn, and Dan Shor. I also noticed Don Keith Opper who played Max 404 in Android (1982).
There is a cool scene where we see from the perspective of a deaf man and no sound or music is heard. It didn't really fit with the rest of the movie but at least they were trying something different.
It feels like there could have been more at stake with and this leads to some slow scenes. I guess they were trying for a moody atmosphere but it doesn't quite fit for an action/thriller with a huge figurative ticking time bomb (he needs to get the tape in the car in less than two days). There is more action with the heist at the end but I feel that the heist scene should have been longer. The movie gives us a lot of set-up for Quint's attempt to get the tape back and I would've liked a | [

The more regularly I make space in my mind, the less I think about making my life better, it just gets better. Breath by breath, step by step, I live my most optimum life.
On this journey, even when I fall, I am standing. I haven’t really fallen, I have simply experienced the duality of the world. Who I am remains unchanged because the unchanged is who I am. It is through the unchanged, that I change my world.
My world gets better with so little thought, that sometimes I am taken aback at how much can be achieved by having so few thoughts.
Let there be space in your mind. | [

2017 GRANTEE: Steven Hughes, MD
University of Florida
Research Project: Protein Signatures Improve the Diagnostic Yield of Fine Needle Aspiration
Award: 2017 Pancreatic Cancer Action Network Translational Research Grant
Award Period: July 1, 2017 – June 30, 2019
Dr. Hughes is vice chair for quality, Cracchiolo Family Professor of Surgery and chief of general surgery at the University of Florida. He obtained his BA from the University of Minnesota and graduated from Mayo Medical School. Dr. Hughes then completed a general surgery residency as well as a National Institutes of Health (NIH)-Surgical Oncology research fellowship and a surgical critical care residency at the University of Michigan. His clinical expertise is minimally invasive approaches to hepato-pancreato-biliary diseases including the performance of laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (Whipple’s procedure).
Dr. Hughes is a past counselor-at-large and chair of the membership committee of the Society of University Surgeons. His NIH-funded research focuses on translation of pancreatic cancer biology into clinical practice. He has authored over 100 contributions to surgical literature, holds two U.S. and European patents and has served on NIH study section review boards.
Some of the barriers to earlier detection of pancreatic tumors are the difficult-to-access location of the pancreas and the dense and complex stroma that is prevalent in and around pancreatic tumors (the stroma can occupy up to 80 percent of the tumor). In fact, research has suggested that up to 32 percent of pancreatic cancer cases are missed due to “false negative” results from an endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) of the pancreas.
Patients whose disease is diagnosed when it’s confined to the pancreas can be candidates for surgery and have the greatest likelihood of a positive outcome.
Dr. Hughes and his colleagues have discovered that proteins released into the area around the tumor can be detectable and measured – and can accurately identify pancreatic tumors and differentiate them from pancreatitis, or inflammation of the pancreas. These proteins can be collected via the standard EUS-FNA procedure.
Through their relationship with the Consortium for the Study of Chronic Pancreatitis, Diabetes, and Pancreatic Cancer (CPDPC), Dr. Hughes and his research team will evaluate whether the signature proteins are also present in other abnormalities of the pancreas. Next, they will refine their measurement techniques to ensure that they accurately detect the proteins that indicate the presence of pancreatic cancer cells.
Finally, the researchers aim to incorporate their protein measurements into a forward-looking clinical trial to determine whether this strategy can more accurately identify pancreatic cancer in its earlier stages in patients. | [

Mission Roots cafe
With starting Mission roots, we hoped to engage our peers in creating a change for the betterment of the world. Also to unite our school by creating a student run initiative, that everyone can feel good about from our volunteers to the customers. Since we had been greatly inspired by other youth taking action about what they care about, we wanted to do the same within our own community. Our main goals are to educate the student body about important issues relating to sustainability, social justice and the Sustainable Development goals in addition to creating a warm, welcoming environment and a sense of community in our school. We aim to make a difference in the world and show students that they can do the same. We hope to inspire youth to take action on issues that matter to them, as we believe that the choices and actions we make can cause ripples of change that are felt across the world.
In summary, Mission Roots Cafe is a sustainably conscious, not-for-profit cafe at Okanagan Mission Secondary School. All profits generated through our cafe go towards various charities, carefully selected based on their transparency and traceable impact. We believe that the choices we make as individuals and consumers have immense power and demonstrate this through our ‘choose-your-charity’ system. With each purchase, customers are given the opportunity to directly choose the cause that their money will go to, and therefore the kind of impact they want to have. This creates an atmosphere of active decision making and meaningful conversation, while also leaving the customer inspired and empowered with the choice they’ve made. Additionally, where ever possible, the cafe displays techniques used to maximize it’s zero waste potential and minimize our ecological footprint. In addition to using biodegradable cups and sleeves and composting our coffee grounds and filters, we have also swapped traditional plastic stir sticks for spaghetti as an eco-friendly alternative and a great conversation starter! We also aim to promote sustainable habits through our free loyalty card system that encourages customers to bring a reusable coffee mug and reduce single-use waste. Currently, in less than six months, Mission Roots has collected approximately $5000 in revenue, and has donated close to 50% of this to a variety of local and global charities.
Reflection & Celebration
Through the startup process of Mission Roots, we’ve had the opportunity to work alongside incredible charity organizers, business owners, and students, leading to the realisation of the true importance of impactful action at a grassroots level. Whilst working through he struggles related to running a business, as well as balancing school and personal life, we hope to continue our humble journey in the large world of philanthropy and environmentalism. Finally, we plan to maintain Mission Roots within our school, by continuing to encourage younger students to get involved, volunteer and be a part of this team working to create ripples of change in the world. | [

In this work, potential ways of accessing a greater spectral range at mid-infrared (MIR) wavelength ranges in silicon photonics are explored, in particular for sensing applications that use on-chip spectroscopy. To utilise the full low-loss transmission of silicon, silicon membranes are transfer printed onto MIR-transparent substrates for waveguides with no absorption from the substrate. A Y-junction splitter with low loss across a
1 µm optical bandwidth is also designed and experimentally demonstrated.
A key recent advance in nanophotonics field has been the emergence of tunable, switchable and reconfigurable metasurfaces offering “optical properties on demand”. With these devices, light propagation does not have to be static, as traditionally assumed, but may be changed at will at any point in space and/or moment in time. Various approaches have been developed to realize optical components made from metadevices reconfigurable by mechanical, electrical, or optical means. In general, however, most of the existing reconfigurable metasurfaces tune the properties over the entire device homogeneously when stimulated. The ability to tailor the optical properties of individual meta-molecules in planar metasurfaces promises to open up unprecedented opportunities in applications such as high capacity communications, dynamic beam shaping and adaptive optics. In this work, we pioneered the novel single-meta-molecule addressable digitally reconfigurable metadevices using the emerging paradigms of tunable metasurfaces - functional matter structured on the sub-wavelength scale, and by engaging new ideas of phase-change material integrated with nanostructures for dynamic light control. In our design, low loss dielectric nanostructures (amorphous Si nanorods) are patterned on top of phase-change foundation structures to form the hybrid meta-molecule. As for the phase-change medium, we use the chalcogenide glasses (e.g. germanium-antimony-telluride), which is widely exploited in rewritable optical disk storage technology and non-volatile electronic memories due to its good thermal stability, high switching speed, large number of achievable rewriting cycles and pronounced contrast of dielectric properties observed between two phases. The phase-change process in chalcogenide glasses is a material reaction to the photothermal effects. Using tightly-focused low-energy fs laser pulses to excite the phase transition results in a sharp border between the amorphous background and crystallized spots, allowing individual single meta-molecules to be addressed. The reconfiguration of meta-molecules will be accomplished by re-amorphization of the phase-change material with a high-energy single optical pulse. The preliminary simulation results demonstrated the reconfigurable metasurfaces for phase and resonance frequency modulation of light based on the innovative platform of digitally and individually reconfigurable meta-molecules for applications in active beam shape and hologram display. This development will progress photonic technology enabling increased information flow, while reducing power consumption and achieving new levels of miniaturization for photonic devices. | [

During a national broadcast, Vice Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk once again urged parents to remove their children from areas under intense enemy fire.
The Vice Prime Minister added that the state will do everything possible to socialize evacuated children in host communities.
This mainly involves kids who depart during a mandatory evacuation.
The official said that local community representatives and regional military administrations will ensure that children who are IDPs are enrolled in schools and kindergartens within their host communities.
The Vice Prime Minister advised giving preference to offline learning so that children can more easily adapt to a new place among their peers.
The official stressed that any family member can depart with a child. However, it’s preferable to depart with the entire family. | [

This is one of my favorite images. Every time I see a wind farm it reminds me of Don Quixote chasing windmills. It is a composite made from four separate images. The wind turbines were captured at a wind farm in Indiana. The knight was taken at the Bristol Renaissance Fair. The hill was a random find that worked perfectly. The sky was taken at sunset in Cozumel. All images except the sky had the contrast increased so they became black; then each was added as a separate layer. The sky image was chosen and added last to give an ethereal (spiritual) feeling to the image. Once all layers were in place the image was flattened to complete the picture. This image is a limited edition printed as an 11 x 14, matted to 16 x 20 and is only available at art shows or directly from me. Hope you enjoy. | [

Metabolic Activity of E. coli Monitored
Inside the Incubator with the VisiSens™ A1
Microbial and cell/tissue cultivations play major roles and serve as important tools in biological and medical research. Knowledge about the local metabolic activity of cells and structures within colonies may assist in understanding and controlling complex growth processes.
One key parameter in cultivation control is oxygen. Oxygen consumption or production can give valuable information about the metabolic status of a culture. Thus, precise oxygen measurement systems are indispensable.
However, conventional techniques, e.g., electrodes, only allow single-point measurements, lacking the spatial information about oxygen distribution in the sample. Even conducting transect measurements with oxygen microsensors cannot completely overcome this limitation.
The VisiSens™ A1 system combines planar fluorescent sensor foils with digital camera technology, and now allows two-dimensional assessment of oxygen distribution across the sample surfaces. The fluorescent sensor foils are non-toxic and do not consume oxygen during the measurement process.
Information over a whole area can be recorded with μm resolution for extended measurement periods. The sensor foils are read out, contactless with a compact fluorescence microscope. It can be easily installed inside an incubator and is controlled from the outside by PC or notebook (Figure 1).
Being able to visualize and evaluate changes in oxygen partial pressure due to metabolic and diffusion processes makes VisiSens an applicable tool for cell and tissue culture monitoring. We tested this measurement technology and investigated oxygen distribution in different plant tissues. We also tried it in a nonplant application.
In the experiment described here E. coli was used as a model microorganism. The culture was monitored with the VisiSens A1 system inside the incubator, and the oxygen consumption of single bacteria colonies was visualized.
Materials & Methods
At the start and the end of the experiment the VisiSens oxygen sensor foil (SF-RPSu4, PreSens) was calibrated by recording images of both a sodium sulfite solution (0% air saturation) and of air-saturated distilled water (100% air saturation). E. coli colonies were grown on an agar plate, and the sensor foil was put directly on the culture.
The VisiSens detector unit (DU01) was installed inside the incubator and controlled from the outside with a laptop. Detector unit control and subsequent image analysis were realized with VisiSens AnalytiCal 1 software. Image recording was started immediately after the culture was put in the incubator for an incubation period of 20 minutes; images were taken at an interval of 30 seconds.
Imaging of E. coli Colonies
Short-term incubation (5–20 minutes) with the oxygen sensor resulted in clear oxygen distribution images, where single colonies were identifiable by their oxygen consumption (Figure 2).
The oxygen concentration at the location of the colonies decreased rapidly within 20 min (Figure 3). The oxygen images further reveal how the oxygen decrease depends on the distance to other colonies. Driven by diffusion and therefore by oxygen consumption of multiple neighboring E. coli colonies the oxygen level inside the medium also changes over time.
VisiSens is able to visualize different sites within a multiwell plate or Petri dish. Applied to microbial culture it is possible to distinguish oxygen consumption of single colonies. By visualizing oxygen distributions across the sample and its changes over time valuable information can be gained, which can be used to monitor the metabolic status or to modulate oxygen supply to better control certain processes in cell or tissue culture.
The use of VisiSens facilitates the study of respiratory dynamics and will contribute to a better understanding in many application fields, like the screening for respiratory phenotypes in yeast.

New Delhi: The Supreme Court will hear
on Monday the plea of Pakistani terrorist Ajmal Kasab
challenging his conviction and death sentence in the 26/11
Mumbai attacks case.
Kasab, the sole convict in the case, has filed the
petition through jail authorities in the apex court which has
appointed senior advocate Raju Ramachandaran as amicus curie
to assist it in deciding the appeal.
A bench of justices Aftab Alam and Ranjana Prakash Desai
will hear the appeal.
On September 2, the apex court had agreed to hear the
plea of Maharashtra government against the acquittal of two
accused Faheem Ansari and Sabauddin Ahmed in the 26/11 case.
It, however, had refused to pass any order on Kasab when
the state government pleaded that his letter to the Supreme
Court challenging his death sentence should be tagged with
"We are taking a step regarding this (Kasab`s letter),"
the bench had said.
The Bombay High Court had in its February 21 verdict
upheld the trial court order of death sentence of Kasab for
the "brutal and diabolical" attacks aimed at "destabilising"
Kasab`s death penalty was upheld on charges of criminal
conspiracy, waging war against the nation, IPC section related
to murder and under sections of Unlawful Activities
The Bombay High Court had also upheld his conviction on
19 counts under IPC, Arms Act, Explosives Act, Explosive
Substances Act, Foreigners Act, Passport Act and Railway Act.
The trial court had acquitted Faheem and Sabauddin.
Kasab, the sole 26/11 terrorist captured alive, had been
sentenced to death by a special anti-terror court on May 6
He and his accomplices had landed at Budhwar Park in
South Mumbai on November 26, 2008 night from Karachi by sea
and went on a shooting spree at various city landmarks,
leaving 166 people dead and many more wounded. | [

Femtosecond and picosecond pulses can find many applications if they can be produced with laser sources that are not only powerful and efficient but also compact and reliable. In continuous wave operation, diode pumping of solid-state lasers has allowed for a rapid progress towards powerful, compact and reliable sources, while the often used technique of Kerr lens modelocking for pulsed operation tends to be in conflict with requirements for diode-pumpable high power designs. Passive modelocking with semiconductor saturable absorber mirrors solves this problem as it relaxes the restrictions on the cavity design. We report on our recent achievements in this field. In particular we present a novel semiconductor device for dispersion compensation and various improved diode-pumped passively modelocked lasers. Also we show which laser parameters determine the stability of a passively modelocked lasers against Q-switching instabilities.
The current status of ultrafast fiber lasers is discussed. Recent advances in optical fiber designs as well as improved saturable absorbers have greatly improved the performance and the reliability of ultrafast fiber oscillators. Equally significant have been improvements in ultrafast fiber amplifier designs and compact chirped pulse amplification systems in conjunction with chirped periodically-poled LiNbO3, which now allow the manufacture of compact ultrafast fiber laser systems that can exceed the performance of conventional ultrafast lasers based on bulk optics. The unique size advantage of fiber lasers opens up the field of ultrafast optics to novel OEM-type applications. For example ultrafast fiber lasers have been successfully employed as subsystems in all-optical time delay scanning, for two-photon microscopy as well as for THz pulse generation.
We describe a pulse shaping technique which uses second harmonic generation with Fourier synthetic quasi-phase- matching gratings. We demonstrate both amplitude and phase tailoring by generating a picosecond square-like pulse as well as trains of femtosecond pulses with a terahertz-range repetition rate from either a transform-limited or chirped pump pulse.
We review the progress made in determining the trends in retinal damage from laser pulse from one nanosecond to one hundred femtoseconds in the visible and near-infrared wavelength regimes. These trends have suggested a maximum permissible exposure limit for laser pulses in the retinal hazard regime between one nanosecond and one hundred femtoseconds. We discuss the likely mechanisms for retinal damage and the implications to using ultrashort laser systems safely. We will summarize the challenges in appropriately addressing safety when using ultrashort laser systems in advanced applications.
The medical applications for ultra short pulse lasers (USPLs) and their associated commercial potential are reviewed. Short pulse lasers offer the surgeon the possibility of precision cutting or disruption of tissue with virtually no thermal or mechanical damage to the surrounding areas. Therefore the USPL offers potential improvement to numerous existing medical procedures. Secondly, when USPLs are combined with advanced tissue diagnostics, there are possibilities for tissue-selective precision ablation that may allow for new surgeries that cannot at present be performed. Here we briefly review the advantages of short pulse lasers, examine the potential markets both from an investment community perspective, and from the view of the technology provider. Finally nominal performance and cost requirements for the lasers, delivery systems and diagnostics and the present state of development will be addressed.
We investigated three potential femtosecond laser ophthalmic procedures: intrastromal refractive surgery, transcleral photodisruptive glaucoma surgery and photodisruptive ultrasonic lens surgery. A highly reliable, all-solid-state system was used to investigate tissue effects and demonstrate clinical practicality. Compared with longer duration pulses, femtosecond laser-tissue interactions are characterized by smaller and more deterministic photodisruptive energy thresholds, smaller shock wave and cavitation bubble sizes. Scanning a 5 (mu) spot below the target tissue surface produced contiguous tissue effects. Various scanning patterns were used to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and stability of three intrastromal refractive procedures in animal eyes: corneal flap cutting, keratomileusis, and intrastromal vision correction (IVC). Superior dissection and surface quality results were obtained for the lamellar procedures. IVC in rabbits revealed consistent, stable pachymetric changes, without significant inflammation or corneal transparency degradation. Transcleral photodisruption was evaluated as a noninvasive method for creating partial thickness scleral channels to reduce elevated intraocular pressure associated with glaucoma. Photodisruption at the internal scleral surface was demonstrated by focusing through tissue in vitro without collateral damage. Femtosecond photodisruptions nucleated ultrasonically driven cavitation to demonstrate non-invasive destruction of in vitro lens tissue. We conclude that femtosecond lasers may enable practical novel ophthalmic procedures, offering advantages over current techniques.
The photodynamic properties of several photosensitive compounds have been evaluated in vivo using simultaneous two-photon excitation (TPE) and multi-photon excitation (MPE). TPE and MPE are effected using a mode-locked laser, such as the mode-locked titanium: | [

FLINT, MI – The Food Bank of Eastern Michigan set a lofty goal for its 2012 Holiday Campaign, but the organization’s president Bill Kerr said it's very attainable.
“We have some great partnering agencies and the goals keep rising because the need increases,” Kerr said. “The community and the people who donate continue to meet the need year after year.”
As part of helping the Food Bank reach its $925,000 Holiday Campaign goal, MLive-Flint Journal started its annual envelope campaign – placing Food Bank donation envelopes inside of the print edition of the Dec. 2 Flint Journal.
“Last year, the envelopes in The Flint Journal, Bay City Times and Saginaw News generated over $98,500 for the Holiday Campaign,” said Kara Ross, vice president of the Food Bank of Eastern Michigan.
Kerr said that at one point, the entire Holiday Campaign consisted of the donations raised from the envelope drive done by MLive-Flint Journal, but more local organizations began to get involved and it has grown to what it is now.
“Over the course of the existence of the campaign, the envelope has become the mainstay, but the program continues to grow and branch out,” Kerr said.
“The money for this campaign represents more than 4 million meals, so you can see how important it is. This money that’s generated will go to help our programs and help us start out next year because the first quarter has typically represented the hardest to secure donations from local businesses.”
In addition to the Food Bank’s partnership with MLive-Flint Journal for the envelope campaign, other corporate sponsors do their part with monetary contributions.
Ross said that the Kroger Company of Michigan, Spartan Foods and VG’s Food Centers, State Bank and Citizens Bank are some of the largest corporate sponsors of the Food Bank’s Holiday Campaign.
“People can give donations of any size at the banks, and Kroger and VG’s and Spartan stores have other great campaigns they run,” Ross said.
“Spartan stores do a program called ‘Scan Away Hunger,’ where people can donate $1, and Kroger has paper ornaments and people can add a $1, $5 or $10 donation to their order. I can’t believe the number of donations Kroger has already gotten.”
Historically, Citizens Bank is one of the two largest fundraisers of the Holiday Campaign.
Terry Lange, vice president of commercial banking, said that Citizens donations used to come from just Genesee County, but in recent years, the donations have come from beyond the county to encompass all of the Food Bank’s service areas.
“Surprisingly, you hear a lot of bad things about Flint and Genesee County, but every year I’m amazed by the giving from the people of this community,” Lange said. “It seems to keep continuing. It’s a blessing.”
Ross said that the four local colleges – Mott, Baker, U-M Flint and Kettering – also conduct food and clothing drives for the Food Bank.
Kerr said that even beyond funding the program for an addition one year of service to the community, the envelope campaign serves as a long-term link to the contributors.
“The envelope campaign is instrumental in the yearly process,” he said. “Not only does it generate funding for next year, but it also helps create our donor list and new friendships.”
The Food Bank is accepting envelopes throughout the entire month of December. Additional donations can be made through the Food Bank’s website, and people can also sign up as volunteers by calling Megan Buysse, volunteer coordinator at the Food Bank, at 810-396-0210. | [

Gender position views that have historically contributed to economic injustice for people( such as Confucian ideas of virtuous women) have not lost favor in the midst of China’s economic boom and renaissance. This study looks into how female college students feel about being judged on the basis of the conventionally held belief https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2021.591312/full that women are virtues. Participants in Test 1 were divided into groups based on their level of job or home orientation, and they were then asked to complete a vignette describing one of three scenarios: group or individual good stereotype evaluation. Therefore, individuals gave ratings for how much they liked the adult specific. The findings indicated that women who were more focused on their jobs detested noble stereotype-based assessment more than girls whose families were. According to regress analysis, the belief that good stereotypes are restrictive mediates this distinction.
Additional stereotypes of Chinese women include being exotic” Geisha females,” never being viewed as capable of leading or becoming rulers, and being expected to be obedient or silent. The persistent yellow peril stereotype, in particular, fuels anti-asian mood and has led to dangerous procedures like the Chinese Exclusion Act and the incarceration of Japanese Americans during World war ii.
Less is known about how Chinese girls react to positive prejudices, despite the fact that the adverse ones are well-documented. By identifying and analyzing Eastern asian bride online women’s sentiments toward being judged according to the conventional good righteous myth, this studies seeks to close this gap. | [

Rumors of a second next-gen Xbox model are becoming increasingly difficult for Microsoft to ignore. The slimmer model, dubbed "Lockhart," is reportedly planned to be revealed this August, as another option for Xbox's next generation of console hardware.
Over at Eurogamer, a report looks towards August for the reveal of Microsoft's smaller alternative to the Series X. This is corroborated by GamesBeat's own report, both expecting a Lockhart debut in August.
This would line up with the previously announced monthly cadence of news from Microsoft, though the schedule got a little murky this month. Xbox recently denied that it had pushed anything back, saying the team was looking ahead to its forthcoming July showcase. The July event will be focused on Xbox's first-party offerings from its various Xbox Game Studios.
The Lockhart rumor has been circling for a while now, stretching back years. With new details like update notes specifically citing a Lockhart designation rising up, it's becoming harder for Xbox to deny the existence of a second box.
Meanwhile, the PlayStation 5 has already locked in two console designs: one with a disc drive, and one without. No more details have been revealed, especially as to whether these two will have a difference in price or power.
For a while, it looked like Xbox was in the lead for the next generation, but now it seems PlayStation has caught up. It'll be interesting to see how reactions to July's event, as well as the reported reveal of Lockhart in August, affect the run-up to this holiday season and the launch of the new consoles. | [

This publication provides a comprehensive summary of Indiana coal resources, coal characteristics, and current and potential use of Indiana coal, including a review of all the publically available data, as well as new data obtained and processed for the purpose of this project. This report provides the most up-to-date detailed evaluation of coal resources, both the original resource and coal available for mining. In addition to the previously evaluated resources of the Springfield, Danville, and the Seelyville coals, new GIS-based valuations are provided for the Hymera, Houchin Creek, Survant, and Colchester coals. The coal quality of major coal beds in Indiana is discussed and maps of sulfur, ash, and heating value are provided. Summaries of 35 trace elements are given and mercury, selenium, arsenic, and chlorine are discussed in more detail. Other aspects include coalbed methane potential (CBM), CO2 sequestration, characteristics of limestone and dolomite for flue gas desulfurization (FGD), and the production and use of coal combustion products (CCP).

On the home stretch of the Lok Sabha elections, BJP President Amit Shah reiterated on Sunday that Article 370 of the Constitution that gives special status to Jammu and Kashmir will be scrapped if Narendra Modi returns as Prime Minister. At an election rally in Chamba district, he also slammed former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah for his statement about a separate Prime Minister for Kashmir. “They want to separate Jammu and Kashmir from India. But let me tell you that even if not in power BJP would not let you do so,” he said.He also criticised the Congress for its manifesto where the party said it will review the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act or AFSPA in Kashmir and amend provisions of the sedition law.He put the Congress in his line of fire over national security and said that while the previous government did not retaliate against terrorism, India carried out air strikes in Balakot under Modi in response to the Pulwama suicide bombing that killed 40 CRPF troopers. Also read: Lok Sabha Elections 2019: Congress, BJP big guns to bolster last leg of campaigning in Himachal Pradesh “Should there be any talks with the terrorist who kill our soldiers?” Shah asked the crowd who replied in the negative. Shah said that it was the first ever election in which inflation or corruption was not an issue for the opposition. “Modi government kept the inflation in check and is committed to eradicate corruption from the country,” he said and sought votes in Modi’s name. “Don’t vote for BJP candidate for all these works but for the reason that Modi and BJP made this country secure,” Shah said.In the last five years, he said the Modi government worked for the uplift of the poor, to secure the nation and took the national pride to new heights. He also listed various projects sanctioned by centre government for Himachal including, AIIMS, IIM, national highways, medical colleges and tourism projects. Shah, who arrived an hour late at the venue, began his speech describing Himachal Pradesh as “veerbhumi” for a large number of youth who join army.Elections for all four Lok Sabha seats in Himachal Pradesh will be held in the last phase on May 19. | [

Vietnam is one of the most memorable, and simply outstanding destinations you can ever visit. Humbling, beautiful, simple and delicious – it’s a place with no equal. Getting there however is a bit of a head scratcher, particularly from the USA. Quite a lot of red tape and certification is required to transport airline passengers in the United States, and even more so for foreign airlines, but Vietnam Airlines has taken a significant step in launching flights.
For anyone who’s been dreaming of visiting Vietnam, without the hassle of connecting elsewhere in Asia – as if the journey isn’t long enough as is – there’s good news on the horizon. Vietnam Airlines, a SkyTeam airline (and Delta partner) has received its US air carrier permit, which is a major milestone in the ambition of bringing direct flights between the two countries, using the airlines modern new fleet.
Vietnam Airlines operates one of the younger and more modern fleets in the sky, with a steady mix of Airbus A350 and Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft. With clear ambitions to launch direct flights between US gateways and Ho Chi Minh City or Hanoi, the airline has now received a United States Air Carrier Permit, which would allow the airline to operate flights between the US and Vietnam, and also flights via intermediary cities such as Taipei or Nagoya.
With newer aircraft such as the 787’s and A350’s Vietnam Airlines already flies, direct routes to either Vietnamese gateway would be viable from both coasts of the United State, even as far as New York City. Singapore Airlines currently operates the world’s longest flight between Newark and Singapore.
So what’s still standing in the way of official route announcements? With a new and approved US air carrier permit, one of the most significant steps is in the rear view, but the airline must still liaise with TSA and US Customs and Immigration (CBP) officials, and also receive final FAA and NTSB approval.
Vietnam Airlines and US based Delta Airlines have already created one stop codeshare routes between Vietnam and the United states via Frankfurt and Tokyo, which kick in this coming October, but this is seriously exciting news for one of the most buzzing tourism destinations in Asia and anyone in the United States hoping to visit. With any hope, the rest of the US certification pieces will fall into place soon, and direct flights will become a reality. | [

And they were left with their good friend Speculation. It was felt to be the best way. It was hard to be sure but was certainly suspected there were many unanswered questions, perhaps more amongst some than others. "We'll meet again, on a more weathered landscape" was thought never really said.
With cries of "the boy's none soft!" they will part, not a moment too soon.

I had been working (mentally) on a post about respecting the choices of others, particularly with regard to farming practices. Between The Big Show (on WHO Radio, which I do listen to on occasion), green bloggers, a few farming/ranching blogs, and a lot of foodie blogs, I’m starting to get very, very tired of all of the bashing going on. Conventional farmers feel they have to put down natural/organic farmers to stay competitive. Natural/organic farmers feel they have to put down conventional farmers as part of their marketing to promote their own product. Foodies inevitably prefer the natural/green products and end up criticizing the conventional farmers.
The question I’ve wanted to ask many of these people, particularly the natural/green folks (of which I am one) has been “Have you ever met a conventional farmer and discussed farming with them?” Because, if not, then maybe you ought not be sitting there saying “conventional farmers this” and “conventional farmers that.” Conventional farmers are not evil incarnate. Most conventional farmers are doing the very best they can to produce a high quality product – and they succeed. They are hard working men and women trying to earn a living and support their families. They are, in fact, my two uncles, my grandfather before he died a few years ago, several of my cousins, my great-uncles, my second cousins, my aunt’s in-laws, and the entire community in which I spent my summers as a child.
As I was working on this, Shanen Ebersole over at Ebersole Cattle Co posted a very excellent article titled Rancher Respect.
Go read her post, and then I don’t have to finish mine! | [

The ‘Green Giant’ Arborvitae was first introduced by the U.S. Arboretum in Washington D.C. and quickly became one of the most popular new tree releases ever.
These trees grow naturally uniform and neat with little or no pruning. The columnar shape takes up very little space in your yard, making it ideal for small and large yards alike.
The ‘Green Giant’ is one of the hardiest and most adaptable trees available. It resists high winds, extreme heat and cold, ice damage, drought, disease and insects. It is even deer resistant most of the time. It is fast-growing with dense foliage all the way to the ground. Green Giant arborvitaes grow in most soils and will tolerate partial shade. They can be planted 10-12’ apart, or as close as 5’ apart for a fast privacy screen.
Green Giants can be used as an alternative to other evergreens like Hemlocks and Leyland Cypress. | [

This object, which I was shown recently, was found by Grant Nicoll of Nedd on the small beach at Torgawn (NC2032) in 2017. It brought to mind the phrase ‘something of a novelty’, beloved of my maternal grandmother.
This calcareous tube is 32 cm long, 2cm in diameter at the broader end and 1mm thick (picture 1). It has been rolling around on the bottom of the sea for some time, since it bears the smaller tubes of the keelworm Pomatoceros triqueter and some barnacles.
Paging through illustrations in my books on marine life, I found two possible candidates: the tubes of the free-living polychaete worm Serpula vermicularis and the burrow-linings of one of the shipworms Teredo spp., which are unusual bivalve molluscs. The relative straightness of the tube and its size fit the latter.
Shipworms were a scourge of wooden structures immersed in sea water, including wooden-hulled ships. They have specialised shells with which they bore holes in timber, digesting the cellulose in the wood with the help of an endosymbiotic bacterium Teredinibacter turnerae. Their tunnels are lined with shell-like material and can be closed at the outer end by two plates called pallets (picture 2). Although individuals are said to live for only a year, the largest can construct a burrow up to 60cm long. Therefore, since they live colonially, they can convert solid timber into something like a sponge (pictures 3 and 4).
Some eleven species of shipworm have been reported from British waters, mostly in driftwood. From its large size, this tube is almost certainly that of the Norway Shipworm Nototeredo norvegica, which has survived the complete erosion of the wood it was consuming. An excellent on-line catalogue and atlas The Marine Mollusca of West Scotland and the North Coast of Ireland, by Shelagh Smith and Julia Nunn, maps only one record from North West Scotland, at Loch Ewe in 1990. So, a very interesting find.

Energy use in aquaculture is a primary contributor to on-farm operational costs. Pumping water is one of the industry’s most energy-intensive and expensive processes. Most producers inadvertently operate with poorly designed and over-engineered systems. Selecting the correct pump size can significantly reduce energy consumption. The performance characteristics of pumps can be described using pump performance diagrams. These diagrams help to show users how a pump will behave under various conditions by relating characteristics such as flow rate, head, net positive suction head, efficiency, and horsepower. Understanding these characteristics and knowing how to read performance diagrams are crucial to selecting the correct pump size. Pumps must provide the correct combination of flow and pressure to operate properly. After the desired flow rate and construction of a water distribution system is determined, the pressure loss of the water distribution system can be calculated. The total pressure loss of the water distribution system is equal to the minimum amount of pressure a pump must provide to deliver a certain flow rate. By evaluating water distribution systems and determining the minimum requirements of a pump, performance diagrams can be used to help select the correct pump. Pumps and water distribution systems must be matched together to operate efficiently.
In the aquaculture industry, energy cost is often the second-largest operational cost next to labor. Although variable in size, most Florida aquaculture facilities consist of outdoor ponds, indoor tanks, or both. Many production systems require water to be continually exchanged and filtered to provide a suitable environment for culturing fish. Opportunities exist to improve aquaculture pumping systems by selecting properly sized pumps. Selecting the correct pump helps to reduce energy consumption, while increasing system life, performance, and reliability. When selecting a pump, characteristics of both the water distribution system and pump must be considered. This publication explains the basic methodology used to size pumps for aquaculture systems; however, these concepts can be applied to a variety of pumping systems. The information discussed is intended to help farmers, researchers, and anyone interested in aquaculture to better understand centrifugal pumps.
Pumps are machines that create flow by adding energy to fluids. Most pumps in aquaculture are used for moving water to and from production sites, draining ponds, running water filtration devices, and driving circulation. According to a report by Hydraulic Institute, Europump, and the Department of Energy (2004), electric pumps account for nearly 20% of energy used worldwide by electric motors and up to 50% of energy consumption in some industrial facilities. Nearly 90% of all pumps used in the aquaculture industry are centrifugal (Landau 1992). These pumps operate by rotating an encased high-speed impeller. Water is accelerated across the impeller and directed outward as a result of centrifugal force, hence the name (Wheaton 1977). This simple design allows centrifugal pumps to be offered in an array of configurations at relatively low cost. All centrifugal pumps operate on the same premise but can be classified by design and impeller type.
Volute and diffuser pumps are the two most common pump designs used in aquaculture. Volute pumps (Figure 1) are named for their spiral volute-shaped pump case. This simple design is favored for its ability to handle dirty water carrying reasonable amounts of debris. Diffuser pumps (Figure 2) use a concentric pump case with diffuser vanes around the impeller that help to increase efficiency (Wheaton 1977). Both diffuser and volute pump designs are available in many sizes and configurations.
Centrifugal pumps can use three different kinds of impellers; open, semi-closed, and closed. Open impellers (Figure 3) use vanes attached to a small hub that allow high amounts of debris to pass through the pump unimpeded. Semi-closed (Figure 4) impellers have vanes attached to a single circular base plate and operate more efficiently than open impellers. Semi-closed impellers are preferred for a balance in efficiency and ability to handle moderate amounts of debris. Closed impellers (Figure 5) have vanes between a solid base plate and a face plate, open at its eye. Closed impellers are the most efficient of these three types, but they must be used with debris-free fluid to prevent damage (Wheaton 1977). Semi-closed and closed impellers are most commonly used in aquaculture. Centrifugal pumps are offered in many configurations. Consult a pump professional for recommendations on specific applications.
How a pump operates can be described by the following terms:
- Flow rate
- Net positive suction head (NPSH)
Flow rate is the volume of fluid a pump can provide per unit of time and is most often expressed in gallons per minute (gpm). For example, a pump may fill a tank at a rate of 50 gallons per minute.
Head is an alternative way of expressing pressure and is used by pump manufacturers to quantify the amount of pressure a pump can provide. Therefore, the term “head” will be used to describe pump pressure | [

I thought I would recap how to handle stress to honor April being Stress Awareness Month. According to the US Department of Health and Human Services, stress does not merely afflict your mind; it can also affect you on a cellular level. Long-term stress can trip your body and mind into believing your not stressed at all and actually the only thing you did is to learned how to live in a perpetual state of stress. In fact, long-term stress can lead to a wide range of illnesses – from headaches to stomach disorders to depression – and can even increase the risk of serious conditions like stroke and heart disease.
The Fight or Flight Response
The sympathetic stress response is a survival mechanism that’s “hard-wired” into our nervous systems. This automatic response is necessary for mobilizing quick reflexes when there is imminent danger, such as swerving to avoid a car crash.
When you perceive a threat, stress hormones rush into your bloodstream—increasing heart rate, blood pressure, and glucose levels. Other hormones also suppress functions like digestion and the immune system, which is one of the reasons why chronic stress can leave you more vulnerable to illness.
Danger triggers the stress response – but, unfortunately, so can work conflicts, worry over debt, bad memories, or anxiety. Although one bad day at work won’t compromise your health, weeks or months of stress can dampen your immune response and raise your risk for disease.
How Stress Starts In Your Body
Combat Your Stress
If you suffer from chronic stress and can’t influence or change the situation, then you’ll need to change your approach. To disengage from stressful situations try this tip. Yes we used this tip last week because a refresher is always nice.
The Neutral Technique from HeartMath:
- Timeout: Take a timeout to disengage from your stressful thoughts and feelings. Actually say to yourself, “timeout,” then step back.
- Heart-Focus: Shift your focus to the area around your heart in the center of your chest and feel your breath coming in through your heart and going out through your solar plexus, right below your heart.
- Heart Breathing: Breathe slowly and gently, in and out – four or five seconds in, four or five seconds out. Remain in this neutral zone until your emotions ease and your perceptions relax. | [

The company acknowledges it recently sold PCs loaded with a form of identification that could make them vulnerable to cyberattack.
Computer maker Dell warned late Monday of a security hole affecting recently shipped computers that could leave users vulnerable to hackers.
The issue affects computers made by Dell that come with a particular preinstalled customer service program. Through a certificate that would identify the computer to Dell support staff, this program makes the computers vulnerable to intrusions and could allow hackers to access encrypted messages to and from the machines, Dell said. There is also a risk that attackers could attempt to reroute Internet traffic to sites that look genuine but are in fact dangerous imitations.
Dell said that customers should take steps to remove the certificate from their laptops, offering instructions on how to do that manually. Starting Tuesday, it also plans to push a software update to computers to check for the certificate and then remove it.
“Customer security and privacy is a top concern and priority,” the Round Rock, Texas-based company said in a statement. Dell did not respond to a request for more information.
Security researcher Brian Krebs said that the problem affects all new Dell desktops and laptops shipped since August. That would mean a vast number of computers are at risk. In the third quarter,Dell shipped more than 10 million PCs around the world, according to market researcher IDC.
The disclosure by Dell is another sign of the dangers that lurk as we check our bank accounts online, go shopping via Amazon and share personal information over Facebook. While big data breaches at retailers like Target and Home Depot affect thousands of people all at once, consumers can also be hit much closer to home through their own laptops and smartphones.
Even as they’ve become attuned to taking security precautions, though, consumers typically don’t have to worry about brand-new technology they’ve just brought home from the store. For sure, some programs that computer manufacturers install can prove irritating or cumbersome. The revelation that one might be genuinely dangerous has the potential to erode trust in the computer in one’s hands and in the company that supplied it.
This isn’t the first time this year that out-of-the-box PCs have contained vulnerabilities. Some Lenovo laptops were found to have a similar security flaw thanks to a preloaded program called Superfish. This software altered search results to show different ads, but it also tampered with the computer’s security. It was eventually fixed with a specially released tool.
Dell said that its certificate isn’t adware or malware, nor was it used to collect personal information.
The program in question is being removed from all new Dell computers, the company said, and once it is properly removed according to the recommended process, it will not reinstall itself.
Privately held Dell is expected to announce Monday a takeover of storage technology firm EMC in a deal worth more than $50 billion.
For a deal expected to be the largest tech deal of all time, it is telling that top executives at Dell, who would have normally been consulted ahead of the deal announcement were not informed of the talks. Many of them were traveling overseas when the news first leaked, sources briefed on the talks. The talks between the companies have been conducted directly between CEOs Michael Dell and EMC’s Joe Tucci, sources told Re/code.
The secretive nature of the talks hints at the fact that numerous terms had not been finalized as of late Sunday night. One of those terms, sources said, is a collar intended to protect both parties from movements in the value of EMC shares after the deal is announced.
The deal also contains a go-shop provision that will allow EMC to seek superior offers from other companies. That term is seen as window-dressing, as the only other realistic suitors for EMC — Hewlett-Packard, Oracle, Cisco Systems and IBM — are considered unlikely to bid.
Sources say the offer will include cash amounting to $27.25 per EMC share, plus the additional value of tracking stock to account for the value of EMC’s stake in the cloud software firm VMware that would bring the value of the transaction to over $30 per share. Dell intends to maintain majority control of VMware but will likely sell or distribute a portion of EMC’s equity in VMware to raise cash and offset some of the debt it will have to raise to finance the purchase.
Dell is seeking to raise cash by issuing high-yield bonds that will be linked to equity in the combined company. It’s a risky bet on debt markets especially given that U.S. Federal Reserve is expected to raise interest rates before the end of the year. A higher interest rate would raise the cost of financing and make the bonds themselves less attractive to debt investors.
Also uncertain is whether Elliott Management, the activist hedge fund that is EMC’s seventh-largest shareholder, will support the deal. Elliott has pressured EMC to spin | [

Kufri Weather And Best Time To Visit Kufri
Ever since the British in 1864 made Shimla the summer capital, the parts around the hill station also started being recognized. Kufri, which is very close to Shimla, is a recreational place to visit, which is surrounded by cedar trees and tall mountains. Weather in Kufri is mostly always on the cooler side with temperatures not rising very high. Summers are pleasant and you will get a cool hill station vibe when you go up during the summer months, while monsoons give a surreal feel to the place, with the entire town being covered in fog. Winters are the best time to visit this lovely hill station, due to the blanket of snow that gets accumulated during this time, making it the apt season to ski on the soft slopes.
Not sure when to visit Kufri? Read on to learn about the weather conditions in each season and the best time to visit Kufri.
The climate in Kufri throughout the year is cool, including the summer season. The months from April through June are the summer months, which are warm and also pleasant at the same time. The temperatures rise up to an average of 20°C and drop to a minimum of 12°C in the night, making it the perfect time to visit Kufri, due to its favourable climatic conditions. This season is the ideal time to indulge in some adventure sports and get refreshed. If you are planning a trip in summer, make sure you attend the Summer Festival, which is an event that showcases local art and craft. You can also learn more about their culture from these local pieces of art.
Kufri receives a moderate amount of rainfall during the monsoon season. This season that lasts from the month of July and ends in October, is a good season for tourists who just want to take a break from their regular monotony and simply enjoy amazing views of fog covered mountains, waterfalls and lush greenery. Temperatures in the monsoon season hit a high of 18°C, while the night sees an average temperature of 10°C. Although it may not be very safe to move around on the hilly roads during the monsoons when the land is wet, the misty look of Kufri during this season is definitely worth visiting for.
Winters in Kufri are extreme and if you plan to visit during this time, appropriate warm clothes must be carried. Kufri is also known as the winter wonderland due to the amount of snow that gets accumulated on the hilly terrain, which makes it perfect for sports enthusiasts; both amateur and professional skiiers to try their skills on the slopes. Temperatures during this season rise up to a maximum of 15°C and drop down drastically to an average of -8°C.
The low temperature makes the region extremely cold and also very dangerous for people climbing hilly areas on foot. Every year in February, the Winter Sports Festival is celebrated that welcomes skiers and other sport lovers to try their luck and skill on the undulating snow covered slopes of Kufri. Winters are a good time for people to appreciate the hill station at its natural best. | [

IVONA Software Sp. z o.o. has received a grant from the European Regional Development Fund for the development of the IVONA TTS technology for mobile devices. The project’s grant is covered by the measure 1.4-4.1 POIG [Innovative Economy Operational Program] and now the Company is at the stage of implementing the results of R&D activities. IVONA Software finished the performance of the project on May 31, 2011.
The entire business activity of IVONA Software Sp. z o.o. is related to the text-to-speech technology development. This refers to both R&D activities and product commercialization.
The objective of the performance of the project entitled „Development of the IVONA Embedded text-to-speech technology for mobile devices by IVONA Software Sp. z o.o. (62.01 PKWiU [Polish Classification of Goods and Services] 2008)” is to increase the Gdynia-based Company’s innovativeness by means of the development of the Company’s own software in the scope of the IVONA TTS technology. The project’s performance consisted in developing a TTS technology for mobile devices by way of completing planned R&D activities and its marketing as a group of IVONA Embedded products.
The performance of the project at the implementation stage (Measure 4.1) was related to the completion of market tests for the products which are based on the newly developed technology. Relevant extensions and market variants which are of the greatest sales potential will be added to the products. The implementation stage is an element of the pre-competition phase related to the marketing of the new technology.
The project activities focused on the development of a non-commercial prototype in the form of software to be used for product tests and for demonstration purposes.
The outcome of the project’s performance is the development of software for mobile devices (Embbeded) – which finds applicability in such devices as mobile phones, tablets, e-book readers, navigation, and reading devices for visually impaired individuals.
Voices for devices (e.g. phones) supported by the Android operating system (e.g. Samsung Galaxy, HTC Desire, Sony Ericsson Xperia etc.) are a perfect example of the project’s outcomes.

Emerald Oil said a well that blew out last week during fracking is back under control in North Dakota.
The blowout last Friday at the Ron Burgundy 3-23-14H well resulted in the release of water and oil.
But the Wall Street Journal reported that all fluids were contained at the site of the well.
“It’s been completely put under control at this point,” said Emerald CEO McAndrew Rudisil on Monday.
“It doesn’t affect our program in terms of drilling or fracking for the quarter at all.” | [

We ran the Hole In The Rock Trail in 2013, and we were on a mission to run Hole In The Rock Road in 2014. It was the reason we were in Escalante. We came off of Cedar Wash Road and were soon heading down the trail, excited to see the rest of it. It was a long, hot, and bumpy ride and worth every minute of it.
Most of the start of the trail is really, really bumpy. It's full of washboards, and finding the right speed to even them out is the first challenge. We found that 35 miles per hour was about right.
We passed Harris Wash, a trail we'd need to save for a future trip. When we got to the Devil's Garden turnoff we took it, and we were happy with what we found. A pit toilet is always nice, of course, but the scenery was fantastic. We wandered in and around the hoodoos for a long time, and the day started really heating up. It was going to be hot.
We saw quite a few vehicles going in both directions along the way down the road. There were a few Jeeps but also a few SUVs. Most people were alone. We even saw an SUV cursed with two flat tires, but help was on the way and they were happy.
We came over a rise to find a herd of cattle heading down the road toward us. A friendly cowboy moved them along and we slowly crept through the crowd. We would see a lot of cows on that trip, but this was a big group. There were a lot of calves.
Our first real stop after Devil's Garden was at Dance Hall Rock. We got out to stretch our legs, and some of us went up to the rock. It's big, and it must have hosted some fun parties. We noticed that the trail got rougher past that point.
We were in and out of washes for a bit, and we saw both ends of the Fiftymile Bench trail go by. We planned on doing that on the way back, and it seemed crazy that it would take us up the side of the Straight Cliffs.
The scenery changed from red dirt and green patches to pale dirt and slickrock. We stopped at a random plaque just past Fiftymile Point and it mentioned the Hole In The Rock Arch. Just like our trip along Cedar Wash Road, we looked for it but didn't find it. It was such a random thing! Luckily, it was easier to spot on the way back and we found it near the end of Fiftymile Point high above us. The plaque was still pretty random.
We started across the huge slab of slickrock and the trail was a bit rougher, but it was still not a concern. We weaved around rock outcroppings, up hills, and around curves. When we spotted the actual Hole In The Rock we hurried to get there.
We had it to ourselves, and it was really awesome. There was a plaque and a kiosk with information, and we stopped for lunch and wandering around. It was so crazy to think about what the pioneers did to get through the area. It didn't seem even possible!
It was so hot, but we stayed for a while. There was a lot of exploring to do. The water in Lake Powell below us looked so cool, blue, and inviting, but there was no way to get to it. A big boat sat at the bottom of the crack in the water and we wondered if they were looking at us, too.
All good things must come to an end, so we eventually headed back the way we came. We'd finally seen both halves of Hole In The Rock and we were happy. | [

Don’t hesitate to contact us:
Update: there is an update of this update 😉
Our customers send us thousands of vehicle routing and traveling salesman problems every day to solve them. To do this we always need to calculate a distance matrix at the beginning. This should be fast. If you have 10 drivers that deliver 100 parcels, we have to find the distances and travel times between all the locations up-front. Only with this information we can find out which driver delivers which parcel and which sequence is the most efficient one.
When we speak about a “distance matrix”, we actually mean a matrix with distance and time information to estimate the total cost of a route.
A simple approach of determining such a matrix is to calculate every single point-to-point route and extract the time and distance information from it: A to B, A to C, A to D, B to C, B to D and so forth. How fast can this be? Let us assume that an average route has a length of 100km. Given this we could handle roughly 600 route requests per second per thread. A 100×100 matrix would then take approx. 17 seconds. Not bad for 10K routes with time, distance and geometry information as well as turn instructions – some tools need hours for this!
A vehicle routing problem with more than 100 locations is not uncommon and so we need even faster procedures to calculate the underlying distance matrices. Already a few years ago, we had implemented a fast matrix algorithm that caches shortest path trees. This has speeded up matrix calculation considerably – as you can see in the table below:
|matrix size||point-to-point||old matrix|
The computations times are now a magnitude faster, for example, a 500×500 matrix only takes 40 seconds as opposed to 7 minutes with the point-to-point route approach. Nevertheless, a 1000×1000 matrix takes more than 2 minutes. This can be further improved just by adding hardware and dividing a large matrix into smaller matrices and calculating them concurrently.
But what if we could speed-up the matrix calculation even further? That’s what we did just recently in addition to the parallelization. The impacts of this new matrix approach are summarized in the following table (single thread):
|matrix size||old matrix||new matrix|
A 1000×1000 matrix can now be determined in 8 seconds rather than 2.5 minutes. To put it in other words and figures, this new approach allows us to calculate over 181 000 road distances every second!
It helped us to reduce the overall computation time of solving a vehicle routing problem significantly. It reduces delays and increases our throughput, especially for the time-dependent route optimization where each single vehicle routing problem requires a number of distance matrices. | [

In order to obtain a high reflecting coating for the LED lead frame, Sn displacement deposition was done and the reflection characteristics of displacement deposited Sn was investigated. The Sn coating on the lead frame is expected to result in fine solderability and reduction of the cost relative to Ag coating. Before Sn displacement deposition, Cu electro deposition was carried out to offer a fresh and bright Cu layer (Electroplated Cu, ED Cu) to Sn displacement deposition. With immersion time from 2–4 min, Sn layer was deposited on ED Cu in the bath of Sn displacement deposition. As a result, optical density of Sn layer was more than 0.8 and the reflectance of that was around 90% at the immersion time 2–3.5 min, indicating the Sn layer had excellent reflection characteristics compared with Ag. It is also confirmed that lower roughness, smaller grain size and fewer whiskers resulted in higher reflectance of Sn layer, indicating good reflection characteristics for LED lead frame. | [

Hot melt glue sticks
Glue sticks is the Ethylene Vinyl Acetate-based hot melt adhesive. When melting, the glue is highly adhesive but does not harm the surface of the material so it is often used for many kinds of adhesive applications. The glue is used with glue gun, a melting and spraying glue device, which is very convenient with the best operating temperature ranges from 150°C to 180°C.
With the advantage of not being affected by hot or cold environment, the glue has a long lifespan, convenient for transportation and storage. Glue stick is commonly used industries both domestically and internationally. It is very popular in life as well as in industry such as: carton packing, wood paste, fine art, fabric flower, cloth, paper box packaging,... with colors ranging from transparent to gold which bringing many choices for the customers. | [

NICHOLSON RELAY FOR LIFE
NICHOLSON RELAY FOR LIFE — Nicholson Elementary raised about $670 during its Relay for Life event last Thursday. Teacher Maureen Pollitz said the students raised the money by selling paper footprints and lemonade. Selling lemonade was initiated years ago by Nicholson teacher Emelda Irvin, who died this year from cancer, Pollitz said. Students of Irvin’s class carried on the tradition of lemonade sales in her memory.
The Pearl River County school board voted Monday night to place on its May 9 agenda the discussion of adoption... read more | [

By Katy Stech Ferek: For More Info, Go Here…
Congress passed a bill that would extend a lifeline to financially struggling injured veterans, enabling them to spend disability payments instead of using them to pay down debt in bankruptcy protection.
The Senate on Thursday passed a bill sponsored by Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D., Wis.) that consumer advocates say fixes a mistake written into a 2005 overhaul of the country’s bankruptcy rules. The House passed the bill last week. It now goes to the White House for President Trump’s signature.
The president is expected to sign the bill.
“Our current and retired military heroes sacrifice so much to defend our freedom, but they may face disproportionate challenges when they fall on hard times,” said Sen. Chuck Grassley (R., Iowa), who supported the measure. “This bill updates the bankruptcy law to ensure that veterans are not penalized for receiving military or veterans’ disability benefits when filing for bankruptcy.”
Under the 2005 law, debtors who receive disability payments from the Social Security Administration are allowed to keep that money during bankruptcy. But disabled veterans who receive checks from the Department of Veterans Affairs and Department of Defense have had to classify those payments as disposable income, which requires that that income be used to pay off credit-card bills, auto loans and other consumer debt.
The law’s classification of veterans’ disability payments as disposable income has also made them less likely to qualify for chapter 7 protection, the more popular type of bankruptcy that is quicker and cheaper than other forms, under federal bankruptcy law. | [

|Address|| Compiègne |
|Architect||Gabriel-Auguste Ancelet, Renaud Bardon|
The Théâtre Impérial de Compiègne is a theater in Compiègne, France.
Compiègne is a commune in the Oise department in northern France. It is located on the Oise River. Its inhabitants are called Compiégnois.
The Emperor Napoleon III decided to construct a theater in Compiègne to entertain his court in 1866.He chose the location and the architect of the building, Gabriel-Auguste Ancelet. Work began in 1867 and went well until the outbreak of the 1870 Franco-Prussian War. The Battle of Sedan ruined the Empire and eliminated the possibility of completing the building on schedule. The walls were built, but the project for decorating the theater was suspended. The sculptures by Gustave Crauck were made on time, but the ceiling, which was to include paintings by Élie Delaunay, remained bare.
Gabriel-Auguste Ancelet was a French architect who undertook various projects for the Emperor Napoleon III, and later taught for many years at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris.
The Franco-Prussian War or Franco-German War, often referred to in France as the War of 1870, was a conflict between the Second French Empire and the German states of the North German Confederation led by the Kingdom of Prussia. Lasting from 19 July 1870 to 28 January 1871, the conflict was caused by Prussian ambitions to extend German unification and French fears of the shift in the European balance of power that would result if the Prussians succeeded. Some historians argue that the Prussian chancellor Otto von Bismarck deliberately provoked the French into declaring war on Prussia in order to draw the independent southern German states—Baden, Württemberg, Bavaria and Hesse-Darmstadt—into an alliance with the North German Confederation dominated by Prussia, while others contend that Bismarck did not plan anything and merely exploited the circumstances as they unfolded. None, however, dispute the fact that Bismarck must have recognized the potential for new German alliances, given the situation as a whole.
Gustave Adolphe Désiré Crauck was a French sculptor with a long distinguished career.
In 1987 the association for the Théâtre Impérial de Compiègne was created by Pierre Jourdan, who led the restoration program and the collection of funds to restore the building and make it a mecca for the operatic stage.A team of project managers and architects including Renaud Bardon started work in 1990 to complete the building, while another association under Pierre Jourdan was responsible for programming shows. The theater was officially opened in September 1991 with the opera Henry VIII by Camille Saint-Saëns.
Henry VIII is an opera in four acts by Camille Saint-Saëns, from a libretto by Léonce Détroyat and Armand Silvestre, based on El cisma en Inglaterra(The schism in England) by Pedro Calderón de la Barca.
Charles-Camille Saint-Saëns was a French composer, organist, conductor and pianist of the Romantic era. His best-known works include Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso (1863), the Second Piano Concerto (1868), the First Cello Concerto (1872), Danse macabre (1874), the opera Samson and Delilah (1877), the Third Violin Concerto (1880), the Third ("Organ") Symphony (1886) and The Carnival of the Animals (1886).
In December 2008, during the Extraordinary General Meeting held at the theater a little over a year after the death of Pierre Jourdan, the two associations were dissolved.On 6 March 2009 the new management was entrusted to Éric Rouchaud. The technical management was entrusted to Jean-Philippe Le Priol in 2008. On 21 September 2010, a plaque was placed in the atrium of the theater, recalling the memory of Pierre Jourdan now inseparable from the place.
The quality of the acoustics of the room comes from its design, built in the Italian style, and 90% wood. With the support of the sound insulation of the stage house and the transfer and amplification of sound through the wood, the reverberation gives the room excellent acoustic qualities, with low power requirements for acoustic, electric and electro-acoustic instruments. Heads of renowned orchestra have recognized the qualities of the room.

Dynamics of single-cell division and death in the presence of antibiotics
[2023: Explanations still to be write]
Pr. [2023: protected identity] has proof-readed this manuscript and has significantly improved it. Moreover, some paragraphs may have been directly written by him (I don’t precisely remember). In that case, the corresponding “paternity” of those paragraphs should be attributed to him.
An important example of phenotypic diversity is the phenomenon of bacterial persistence: a subpopulation of cells is resistant to an antibiotic but this trait is not inherited by the progeny. Observations in Escherichia coli suggested that persistent cells are in a reversible non-dividing state, resulting in the assumption that the bactericidal efficacy of an antibiotic is directly proportional to the growth rate. By performing experiments at the single-cell level using a microfluidic-microscopy system, the team of Prof. [2023: protected identity] has recently questioned this assumption by showing that the phenomenon of persistence observed in Mycobacterium smegmatis exposed to isoniazid, an antibiotic inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, is not correlated with the growth rate of single cells. In other words, under the microscope, cells that are likely to die are indiscriminately cells that grew quickly or slowly. Moreover, this team has also highlighted a counter-intuitive result: at a "bactericidal" antibiotic concentration, the persistence state is not a steady state due to a static number of viable cells. It is a dynamical steady state where division and death are balanced.
Thus, bacterial growth, antibiotic-mediated killing and persistence, which were believed to be “well-understood phenomena” or “questions from the past”, yet reveal many interesting facets that are probably related to molecular noise at the single-cell level and that we propose to study. We have formulated two issues that shape our research project for a period of two years. The two following issues represent a starting point in so far as we also expect that our experimental system will serve as a generator of new questions.
- What are the dynamics of bacterial division and death, at the single cell level, when varying the concentration of antibiotics?
- Is there a link between the effectiveness of an antibiotic and the growth rate at the level of single cells?
To answer these questions, we will grow bacteria in custom-made microfluidic devices and image them by time-lapse microscopy. We will make several such experiments by varying either the concentration of the antibiotic or the growth rate of the bacteria. The time-lapse microscopy data should allow us to properly characterize the behavior of individual cells within cell lineages and to measure several phenotypic parameters of interest. The main technical challenge at the outset of these studies will be to establish procedures to control the rates of bacterial growth and division by using continuous-flow microfluidic devices as chemostats. These custom-made devices are designed and constructed in the [2023: protected identity] lab. In conjunction with the experimental studies, we will also develop and implement deterministic and stochastic computational models of single-cell growth and division and antibiotic-mediated killing. The corresponding computational framework should (1) assist us in the understanding of experimental observations that defy intuition and (2) allow us to infer phenomenological parameters from the comparisons between experiments and in silico simulations.
The organisms that we plan to use are Mycobacterium smegmatis (a non-pathogenic organism that is phylogenetically close to the human pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis) and a pathogenic strain of Escherichia coli (UPEC). The corresponding infections (tuberculosis and urinary tract infection) are chronic and unusually difficult to eliminate with antibiotic therapy. Among the hypotheses proposed to explain chronicity and refractoriness to therapy, there is the phenomenon of phenotypic diversity associated with the poor effectiveness of antibiotics against slow-growing and non-growing cells. Thus, the knowledge generated from our experiments is likely to have important implications for medical microbiology. Future studies, beyond the scope of this two-year project, will attempt to relate our findings in M. smegmatis to M. tuberculosis, which is the principal organism studied by the [2023: protected identity] laboratory; however, work with M. tuberculosis, which requires Biosafety Level 3 containment, is slow and difficult compared to M. smegmatis or UPEC.
State of the art
Evolution is one of the phenomena responsible for the gradual adaptation of organisms to changes in their environments. Mutations and exchanges of genetic material increase microbial diversity but these are rare events that pass through the filter of natural selection. Bacteria have another way to adapt to their environment without direct recourse to evolution. They adapt their cellular contents (RNA, proteins, metabolites...) through a large and complex regulatory network including, among others, signal transduction, transcriptional regulation, and metabolic fluxes (Jacob and Monod 1961). Elucidating the dynamical functioning of this cellular network is a major goal of systems biology (Alon 2006). The network includes many feedback loops and the | [

Over the past year, you may have read numerous articles and opinion pieces in the Rutland Herald, read an online posting, or attended a meeting concerning conditions in the Little Lake. Unfortunately, many contained misleading information while failing to convey important facts. We feel it is necessary to respond. We also want to provide details of a multi-year plan to help improve conditions in Little Lake.
First, a little history.
What are the Lake St. Catherine Association (LSCA) and the Lake Saint Catherine Conservation Fund (LSCCF)?
We are the Lake St. Catherine Association (LSCA), a Vermont not-for-profit 501(c)(3) corporation, organized on August 31, 1953. For 66 years, we’ve been stewards of the lake by fulfilling our mission of the preservation, protection and maintenance of Lake St. Catherine. In the late 1970’s, we began lake-wide management efforts by directing and funding important programs that include (but are not limited to): milfoil control, invasive species control (boat launch Greeter program), water testing, pollution and phosphorous mitigation and water safety. We also fund one-time projects such as the clearing of the Lily Pond channel to restore connectivity from Lily Pond to the North Bay.
In 2009, the Lake Saint Catherine Conservation Fund (LSCCF) was formed by Little Lake property owners with a focus on Little Lake’s unique issues. They applied for and received a permit for an aeration experiment by installing a submersed diffused air aeration system which pumps oxygen into the lake. This system was presented as a way to help dissolve lake bottom muck (increasing water depth) and decrease Eurasian Watermilfoil (EMW, milfoil). The experiment began on July 30th, 2012. Earlier that year, on June 13th, 2012, the LSCA performed its last permitted milfoil control activities in the Little Lake so the experiment could be conducted.
Through the years since our last treatment in the Little Lake, the LSCA has been asked, “What do you do for the Little Lake?”. Our answer has been everything you have just read above. Everything we do is for the whole of Lake St. Catherine. We were asked to no longer perform lake management efforts in Little Lake by the LSCCF so they could conduct their aeration experiment. Because we have not been involved in the management of Little Lake since 2012, this has given some the impression that the LSCA is only concerned with the Big Lake. This is certainly not the case. All of our efforts are intended for the benefit of the entire lake.
With all this in mind, let’s address what’s been happening in Little Lake since 2012.
What we present to you below will be based on studies, facts and years of data collection. We will not be pontificating our opinions or beliefs, only presenting conclusions based on the facts. Therefore, this information is being presented in a “just the facts” manner, and we ask that it be read with that tone in mind. We’re doing this to combat confusion and misinformation - and to make sure LSC property owners and local government officials are informed. Our goal is to make sure everyone who cares about the Little Lake and Lake St. Catherine as a whole will have all available information so we can work together on real solutions.
The LSCCF ran their aeration experiment in Little Lake from 2012 - 2018. In 2017, they also began a mechanical harvesting program that would cut and remove weeds using a mechanical harvesting machine (Note: The LSCA discontinued mechanical harvesting in 2004 because it was ineffective and caused milfoil to spread). During this time, the LSCCF has presented their own data to claim that the depth of Little Lake has increased and they maintained that the aeration was controlling milfoil. The LSCCF did not apply to renew their aeration permit for 2019, so the system was not in operation in 2019. The LSCCF also experimented with the use of weevils to control milfoil, which was unsuccessful.
Let’s look at a paper prepared by the Vermont DEC and the results of 17 years of Aquatic Vegetation Management Program reports which dispute the LSCCF’s claims.
The Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation issues aeration report
In January 2019, the Vermont DEC released a report entitled, “AERATION AS A LAKE MANAGEMENT TOOL AND ITS USE IN VERMONT”. The information specifically about Little Lake begins on page 15. While we encourage you to read the full report, we’ll quote some of the important information here.
First, let’s start with the DEC’s description of aeration in the introduction of the paper (all bold emphasis is ours):
“In recent years, aeration has been marketed to lake managers as a tool that could potentially manage aquatic plants and accumulated organic material on a lake bottom, also referred | [

Beer Lift - The Hidden Beer Cooler
Let's set the scene. It's a warm summers day, the BBQ is sizzling away, you've gathered your friends and family round and everyone is having a great time in the garden. But people are starting to get a little parched, and you ask yourself; what could be the best way offering people a cold refreshing drink?" How about perfectly chilled beer effortlessly rising from the ground where you stand? Introducing the Underground Beer Fridge - it's as awesome as it sounds!
Constructed in Germany, the underground Beer Lift is a tough, sealed tube incorporating a clever hydraulic lift mechanism so that you can effortlessly raise your stash of beer bottles up and out of the ground. Simply remove the top lid (which blends nicely into the ground if you wish to keep your supplies top secret), turn the handle 45 degrees and watch your cool beer rise up. When not in use, the three trays of beer are pushed back into the ground and totally disappear. Finally, replace the waterproof lid and friends and family need never be any wiser as to what is beneath their feet.
Recommended temperature for drinking lager is 6 to 9 degrees and ale is 7 to 11 degrees. Depending on the time of year, of course, beneath the soil, the temperature varies around the 8 to 10-degree mark. For the ultimate experience, during the warmer summer months, we recommend storing your beer in the fridge and transferring bottles to your beer cooler just before the drinking commences.
Installation is easy, using an auger drill a hole 90cm deep and 20cm in diameter. You can use a hand one if your soil is sandy or hire a petrol one to make the job easy, a tool hire centre charges around £12 for a manual one or £35 for a petrol one. Then simply insert the tube and you're away.
- Size: H97, W20 cms (H37, W8 inches).
- Weight: 7kg
- Packaging: Neatly boxed in case you need to gift wrap it!
- Extra Information:
Holds 15 bottles of any size.
Bottle opener included.
Watertight and UV resistant lid. | [

John Taylor is a mining engineer and mining geology consultant who has spent over 45 years in the international mineral industry working on advanced exploration and pre-development projects in New Zealand, Australia and throughout the mining world.
From 2000 to 2013 John worked for the largest coal mining company in New Zealand, Solid Energy New Zealand Limited, where he became Underground Investigations Manager, Subsurface Investigations Manager and finally Projects Investigation Manager involved with the investigation and modelling of the underground workings of a number of abandoned underground coal mines. This work provided detailed three dimensional models of underground voids for subsequent void filling operations and also provided the information for estimating the total coal recovered by previous operators.
During his time with Solid Energy, John led a subsurface investigation team during the Pike River Mine rescue/recovery operation which obtained, by downhole laser scanning and video filming, the only hard evidence from inside that mine post-disaster. This work, undertaken for the Pike River Coal Company, the Pike River Receivers and the New Zealand Police, resulted in John presenting his team’s evidence to the Pike River Royal Commission in 2011. He was also called on as an expert witness by the NZ Department of Labour into the Black Reef Coal Mine accident where that mine broke into a flooded adjacent mine resulting in the drowning of one of the Black Reef miners. John’s 3D modelling of both mines, using old mine plans and historic survey data, enabled the official investigation team to establish the most likely causes for this tragic accident.

Immune responses to inactivated vaccines against avian influenza are poor due in part to lack of immune memory. Adjuvants significantly increased virus neutralizing titers.
We performed comprehensive analyses of polyclonal antibody responses following FDA-approved adjuvanted H5N1-A/Indonesia vaccine, administered in presence or absence of AS03.
Using Whole Genome Fragment Phage Display Libraries, we observed that AS03 induced antibody epitope diversity to viral hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase compared with unadjuvanted vaccine.
Furthermore, AS03 promoted significant antibody affinity maturation to properly folded H5-HA1 (but not to HA2) domain, which correlated with neutralization titers against both vaccine and heterologous H5N1 strains.
However, no increase in heterosubtypic cross-neutralization of Group1-H1N1 seasonal strains was observed. AS03-H5N1 vaccine also induced higher neuraminidase inhibition antibody titers.
This study provides insight into the differential impacts of AS03 adjuvant on H5N1 vaccine-induced antibody responses that may help optimize vaccine platforms for future vaccines with improved protection against seasonal and pandemic influenza strains. | [

Consider a while. Since the finish of the connection is often tumultuous, it is best to offer equally yourself and your ex a while clear of each other prior to deciding to seek to patch factors up. You both have to have in order to recover from the initial agony on the breakup and contemplate Everything you really want.
properly, we obtained back together. i wanted to talk to him to clear issues up but he’d somewhat not discuss. he cheated, then planned to discuss.
Hello. my boy Pal and I experienced struggle on friday. we are living collectively and given that then he will come household late evening and dont take in listed here.we utilized to take in at home in advance of even i cooked but he didnt consume past night time appears he had outside.we always fight for exact same subject And that i am delicate regarding the care he demonstrates for many people but he says he cant disregard it and i feel poor and clearly show response often.
I just preached like an indignant mentor but In terms of maintaining Any person in your lifetime that broke your coronary heart, was dishonest and disrespected you, I Plainly get fired up. I care about you all and If I can help a person individual avoid the blunders I’ve made, then penning this was worth it.
I are actually with my boyfriend for 10 months, I’m his initially girlfriend, past associations of mine, I’ve cheated. My current boyfriend would hardly ever cheat on me but I’m so insecure it’s Placing plenty of strain on us.
Now you determine what you’ve lost, therefore you are about to get it back. Nobody can ensure you which you’ll finish up being together again – but, in at the least 90% on the cases, it’s thoroughly probable. You should believe in the likelihood.
In the event you cheated because you had been sad in the relationship or felt that something was lacking, be straightforward about what happened and what you want to accomplish to be certain it does not take place once more.
This is an excellent posting. Thank you. It designed me come to feel quite a bit greater. I broke up with my boyfriend 3 months back, we are together two several years and we had Beautiful time, we were being so great to one another and he was definitely loves me,respect me a lot of also we were intending to get marry, nevertheless the Assume is he didnt have occupation and residence beacuse he utilised Are living hotel and he was waiting property and he didnt get and he nonetheless waiting around,than in the future we experienced lunch with each other and very good time than he stated ido not want relastionship anymore which he taxt me and i requested him why and he claimed need to be single,and he mentioned i am not leaving beacuse anather Female i just want be solitary that's all i want he said.
I get it and I’ve been there. You skip him, you miss all of his quirks and jokes and how that he built you feel. You pass up the best way that you simply felt along with the Lady that you simply ended up once you were being with him when the connection was great.
My boyfriend is probably not effective and it designed me worry if he could aid the loved ones if we ever reach that point. It bothers me a good deal. He’s 35 and I’m 23 so he’s near that time of getting a loved ones, and we even started discussing babies and relocating in. Until I satisfied my manager, who likes me a whole lot. I Allow him carry me to some fancy sites exactly where my boyfriend can’t, he even buy me gifts. I felt superior and secured coz he’s a nice person and will look after me.
If there is something which you might have completed wrong then you might want to discover the power to apologize and acknowledge the fault.
These four-actions can be considered are classified as the missing components that cause Gentlemen to possibly go “all in” along with you.
Lauren I broke up with my gf of like 3 yrs with the exact same thing she mentioned she will need time to Believe she didn’t really know what she preferred.Clearly I wasn’t creating her satisfied,this was about a month back I’ve met her when for coffee and I have a peek at this web-site am able to barely try to remember her laughing extra.
And you already know, The brand new me… the me after knowing How She Wins Him Back from Jane… I think that Variation of me is exactly what attracted that guy within the bar. Similar to a frigg’n magnet. A magnet that was about to pull Jeff back far too… | [

In the early Eighties, pottery was growing into a solid cottage industry among all the Pueblo tribes. Many artisans were becoming luminaries and drawing high value for their works. Innovation and creativity was everywhere in the Pueblo pottery world. One form that took hold of a market segment was that of MINIATURES.
These tiny replicas of larger more expensive jars and vessels were made in exactly the same painstaking manner as their larger sisters. Price was a motivating factor, as the lower numbers spawned a larger market of its own. Collectors enjoyed the benefit of smaller size, which allowed collections to grow, nearly unimpeded by shelf space. Quality was a concern, but artisans met that challenge head on, creating some of the finest pottery “jewels” of all time.
This small olla is made in the image of the larger ollas of the past. The extra wide shape of the shoulders allowed rolling, necks and elaborate lips. This particular one has a lightning shape in a negative design. Acoma in every respect. Ground fired and mineral painted. Native clays... just like the big ones.
Thin wall construction, 1.75″ x 1.75″, good condition. Minor spalling. By master potter Wanda Aragon, Acoma Pueblo. | [

In the Garden:
Well-pruned roses reward your efforts by producing lots of beautiful flowers.
Pruning Hybrid Tea Roses
Of all my early spring pruning chores, rose pruning is my favorite. My efforts are always rewarded with beautiful flowers in the summertime, but I think what motivates me most to get outdoors when the weather is still chilly is the promise of spring. The forsythia has already bloomed and the cherry trees are full of flower buds, so I know spring isn't too far away.
Pruning promotes good health and stimulates flowering, so without fail, all my shrub roses get a haircut each and every year. The best time to prune roses is when they are dormant or just as the buds begin to swell in the very early spring.
Use the Right Tools
You'll need hand pruners, long-handled loppers, and a good pair of leather gloves to prune properly. Make sure your tools are sharp; dull blades will leave ragged edges, an open invitation to disease and insect pests. To protect your arms from scratches, wear long sleeves while you're pruning.
Which Canes to Remove
The over-all plan is to produce an outward-growing shrub with an open center. Start by identifying and saving the newest canes -- these usually are the greenest and most productive. Remove the really old woody stems and any that are crossing or crowding others. Cut those canes down to the bud union (the place where the rose variety is grafted onto the rootstock). The next step is to remove any growth that's smaller than a pencil in diameter. When you've done all that, you should have three to five canes extending from the bud union. Visually divide the canes into three equal parts and remove the top third.
The Right Cuts
Making pruning cuts may seem tricky, but it's really quite simple. Make the cut 1/4 inch above a bud that's facing towards the outside of the shrub, cutting downward at a 45 degree angle so water runs off the cane.
The Final Product
When you've finished pruning, your rose bush should have a well-balanced appearance with healthy young canes. It's a good idea to seal the cut wounds with petroleum jelly or a white glue to keep out any cane borers looking for a place to lay eggs.
When you're finished pruning, gather and dispose of all the pruned canes. Remove any mulch, dead leaves, and weeds under your roses as well. Lay down some new mulch to make things look neat, then stand back and admire your handiwork.

“She had blue skin, and so did he. He kept it hid and so did she. They searched for blue their whole life through, then passed right by—and never knew.” ~ Masks, Shel Silverstein
What are we missing by not showing up in our lives?
We are already good, kind and spiritual people.
Could we be better? Probably.
Could we be happier? Indeed.
Could we become more stable in our emotions? Absolutely!
Could we achieve great things? Yes. Yes. Yes.
So, what’s stopping us?
There’s a good chance that ever since childhood, a lot of us have been suffering from this particular syndrome without even knowing it—the Fear of Being Seen.
The Fear of Being Seen Syndrome can plague us our whole life if we don’t recognize it. It will rob us of our truth, paralyze us from achieving any kind of success and create a cycle of self-doubt and limiting beliefs.
Imagine that you are the sole owner of the biggest, brightest, clearest and finest diamond in the entire world. What do you do? Wear it around your neck everywhere you go? Or keep it somewhere hidden where you know it will be safe?
Now, imagine that diamond…is you.
You are this beautiful, one of a kind gem. You’re priceless. So what do you do? Do you put yourself out there, lay your truth bare, stand naked in Times Square to show off your radiance? No…often, we hide it. We keep it safe. We protect it.
Or, at least that’s what we’ve been telling ourselves we’re doing.
For years, it’s what we told ourselves. We were so afraid of being seen, of someone discovering the real us. Of being recognized for who we really are. Of being noticed for our kindness, our thoughts, our words, our deeds, and most importantly…our hearts.
Yet, at the same time, we were dying for someone to see beyond what we showed, hoping that some magic stare from some magical person could break through all the falsities and just see…us. If it happened like that, we would know that we were safe.
Ultimately, it is a fear of being hurt, rejected, judged, criticized, and raising the bar of expectations (for others and ourselves); a fear of not being able to go backwards, a fear of not recognizing ourselves, of losing the relationship we have with ourselves; a fear of being inadequate, of not feeling like enough. Basically, the entire dictionary of fears!
Personally, no matter what I did, I couldn’t shake these fears off my shoulders. I collected all my insecurities like jewelry and decorated myself with them. For years, I felt heavy, unaware of the invisible weight I was carrying around with me.
Eventually, we grow and gain some perspective, some self-love and self-respect.
We learn to love ourselves, want ourselves and choose ourselves the way we wanted others to.
It may take a while, but eventually we start to value and appreciate our strengths, our talents, our gifts, our uniqueness and our general awesomeness.
Whether you’re a great listener, a supportive mother, a patient friend, a giving lover, a fair spouse, a grateful traveler—you learn to appreciate what makes you you. Yet, there is some underlying belief that still limits your subconscious in terms of what you can do. Usually, things that push us outside of our comfort zone feel impossible. What stops us from following our passion? It’s like cruising on the freeway when all of a sudden the car ahead of you slams on the brakes. We snap back to “reality.”
Why can’t our aliveness be the reality?
We know that we have so much more to offer, to give away, to learn, to see, to be!
The Fear of Being Seen is causing us to hide that. By hiding it from others, we automatically start to hide it from ourselves. We forget who we are and what we’re capable of. By hiding, we are blocking the flow of energy, we are not allowing what is meant for us to come into our lives.
So, the question is, how do we show up?
How do we reach a state of full expression, without limitations or restrictions?
How do we let ourselves be, completely, unapologetically, openly, strongly, and wholeheartedly?
How do we let go of our fear of being more that what we thought we were capable of?
How do we fall into all this gorgeous glory?
Are we even capable of it, does it even belong to us?
Yes—because it is us!
The first step of showing up is to be present in your life, and to be present, you must want | [

Ahead of its Thursday night release, early reviews for Godzilla: King of the Monsters have arrived. The monster blockbuster has seen a considerable marketing push these past few months. Just a few days ago, Warner Bros. released the final look, promising giant-sized action.
Godzilla: King of the Monsters is the latest in the long-running film series. It's the third film in the MonsterVerse, a cinematic universe of giant monsters that began in 2014 with the release of Gareth Edwards' Godzilla. In 2017, Legendary Pictures released Kong: Skull Island, a new take on the iconic ape. Its post-credits scene teased the next Godzilla film, showing cave paintings of Godzilla, Mothra, Rodan, and King Ghidorah. It's certainly been a wait since then, but Godzilla's latest film is almost here. Since its Comic-Con trailer last year, anticipation has been high, with the hope that these monsters would be adapted faithfully.
Last month, early reactions for Godzilla: King of the Monsters teased a film with fantastic action and thrills. Now, full reviews for the film have arrived. Below are spoiler-free excerpts from different reviews throughout the internet.
Owen Gleiberman - Variety
"As long as these creatures are up onscreen, I remain more happy than not, and Dougherty does his best to carry forth the style of towering beasties clashing by night that Gareth Edwards raised to such a pitch of grandeur. Yet this movie feels more prosaic and less magical. The monster battles set at night, lit by blue phosphorescence, get a little visually sludgy, and you may start to long for some daylight clarity — for those moments when you can sit back and gawk at Godzilla and just sort of behold him."
Kate Erbland - IndieWire
"Night sequences in the final season of “Game of Thrones” inspired a litany of complaints from fans and critics that they couldn’t see what the hell was going on. Now we have “Godzilla: King of the Monsters” — and with it, fresh inspiration for squinting. If you thought you couldn’t make out what was happening during The Battle of Winterfell, prepare thyself for an entire film built on the concept that, when giant monsters battle each other, they actually create tropical storms, gusting rain, and a baffling amount of cloud cover."
Alonso Duralde - TheWrap
"Whereas 2014’s “Godzilla” made us wait too long for the monster-movie money shots – vamping instead with uninteresting human characters – this one offers a family story made all the more heartfelt thanks to committed performances by Millie Bobby Brown, Vera Farmiga and Kyle Chandler, not to mention a constant stream of the kind of rock-em-sock-em action that makes you want to see a film like this in the first place. And that action, unlike in “Pacific Rim,” isn’t constantly hidden by murk and rain and night and fog."
Matt Singer - ScreenCrush
"Godzilla: King of the Monsters was directed by Michael Dougherty, who has gained a solid reputation in recent years directing cult horror films like Krampus and Trick ’r Treat. I‘m not sure what happened here, but something went very wrong along the way to the multiplex. The characters — particularly poor Vera Farmiga’s monster scientist — behave so irrationally that Godzilla and his simple, clear motivations feel downright human in comparison. The last movie this big saddled with a story and characters this bad was Independence Day: Resurgence."
Scott Collura - IGN
"Godzilla: King of the Monsters is a fun exercise in giant monster madness that indulges in all the kaiju fights fans and even casual viewers could hope for. It looks amazing while also giving its human characters a chance to stay interesting amid all the battling beasties by providing them with some really cool tech -- and some great one-liners among the supporting players. Unfortunately, the film’s plot is needlessly confusing, and not all that smart at times, and the lead characters could’ve used a little more fleshing out. Still, King of the Monsters course corrects from the 2014 film by giving audiences an abundance of monster action, proving that Hollywood can do right by Godzilla and his fellow kaiju."
Chris Evangelista - Slash Film
"Mass extinction has never looked so gorgeous. Over a period of 132 mind-numbing minutes, Michael Dougherty‘s Godzilla: King of the Monsters lays waste to humanity with stunning tableaus colored in ghostly blues and faded golds, resulting in visual landscapes worthy of Aivazovsky’s brush. It’s a pity the world built around all that jaw-dropping monster mayhem is | [

How to Doodle a Printer
To doodle a printer, begin by doodling what looks like a square tongue sticking out of a mouth. This tongue will become the paper that your printer spits out.
Now draw a rectangle around the mouth of the printer. Notice how the rectangle is partially hidden behind the printer paper.
Add a third-dimension to your printer using straight lines. Notice the consistency of the angles of the lines. Also, take into account the length of the lines in comparison to the rectangle you drew in step 2.
To doodle the print paper feeder, use straight lines extending from the backend of the printer. Also, add some details to the front of your printer using an arc shape and three small ovals.
Add the finishing touches to your printer doodle by giving it some color. Notice the different shades of gray used within the example. This gives our printer a neat shadow-light effect. | [

Niobrara gas well on Western Slope comes in big
Colorado’s Niobrara shale formation, known for producing mostly oil from Front Range wells through the use of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing, now has spawned a gusher natural gas well in the Piceance Basin on the state’s Western Slope, according to WPX Energy Inc.
WPX (NYSE: WPX), based in Tulsa, Okla., on Tuesday said its first test well, drilled horizontally into the Niobrara formation under western Colorado’s Piceance Basin, initially produced 16 million cubic feet of natural gas per day — 16 times higher than typical wells drilled in area.
The Piceance Basin, near Rifle, boomed in the early 2000s as energy companies perfected directional drilling in the production of natural gas.
Some companies have recently begun testing the use of horizontal drilling and fracking to produce more natural gas in the area.
WPX said it drilled its Niobrara test well to a depth of 10,200 feet, then turned the well bore horizontally to go another 4,600 feet.
“We have a large-scale position in the Piceance, where we are the lowest-cost, most efficient producer in the basin,” said Ralph A. Hill, president and chief executive officer, in a statement. “We know the Piceance is a world-class asset. Now the results of our Niobrara well are showing that our acreage has even greater reserves potential.”
WPX’s well, drilled in the Piceance Valley, south of Interstate 70 in Garfield County, has since been “choked back substantially.” During the last 30 days, the well has produced an average of 12 million cubic feet of natural gas per day, the company said.
By comparison, wells drilled in the Mesa Verde rock layer in the Williams Fork formation — in the area where WPX drilled its Niobrara well — typically have initial production rates of about 1 million to 1.5 million cubic feet of natural gas per day, said Pam Roth, the company’s Denver-based government affairs manager.
WPX, Colorado’s biggest natural gas producer, spun out of Williams Companies Inc. effective Jan. 1, 2012. Williams (NYSE: WMB) now focuses on pipelines and other energy infrastructure in North America.
WPX operates in Colorado’s Piceance Basin and the San Juan Basin in southwestern Colorado. It also has operations in Wyoming’s Powder River Basin, North Dakota’s Bakken Shale oil play, and Pennsylvania’s Marcellus natural gas shale play.
WPX employs about 200 people in its Denver office, plus an additional 230 people working out of its western Colorado office in Parachute.
WPX currently operates five drilling rigs in the Piceance and may dedicate one of those rigs to drill more horizontal wells, Roth said.
The company said it plans to drill at least two more horizontal wells into the Piceance Basin’s Niobrara formation this year.
The company said it has lease rights enabling it to drill into about 180,000 net acres in the Niobrara and Mancos shale layers.

Children and Cats Together
Whether you have children already and are thinking of getting a kitty or you have a cat and just found out you’re having a baby – children and cats can live and love and grow together.
Bringing Cats Into a House with Children
Children and cats can be wonderful companions for each other. They can have a loving, playful, endearing relationship as long as you are prepared and educated before bringing cats into a home with children.
Create kid spaces and cat spaces and environments that it’s safe for both to be in without worry. Having a dedicated space, where your children can’t get to, allows a new cat to be in charge of when they are and aren’t around the children. Having some spaces where the cat can’t go gives your children some time alone too, which can be important at the beginning of a relationship.
The most important thing you can teach your child or children is that your new cat is not a stuffed toy, it’s not a plaything that’s only there for their amusement. It’s a living, breathing being with emotions and feelings. The sooner you teach your children about how to love and care for animals compassionately, the more likely they’ll develop a life-long love of these precious companions.
Prepare your cat in advance – number one! Prepare the nursery early, have equipment – like swings or bouncy chairs – out early and have them turned on for a few minutes each day so your cat can get used to the mechanical sounds.
Get on a schedule of playtime with your cat that you’ll be able to maintain once the baby arrives. Don’t make the mistake of going overboard on being attentive to your cat now. Cats thrive on a consistent schedule and familiar routine. Make sure the level of attention to show your cat now will be able to be maintained after the baby arrives.
If you have friends with babies, invite them over so your cat gets used to the crying, cooing, and general baby noises. Once your own baby is home, make sure you keep a constant lookout when your baby and cat are in the same room, so baby doesn’t accidentally reach out and grab your cat by the tail or your cat doesn’t walk or leap on the baby by accident. Because even the most tolerant animal may react defensively if he feels under attack or experiences sudden, unexpected pain from having a tail yanked, fistful of hair grabbed or an ear pulled.
Children shouldn’t be left with the full responsibility of taking care of the cat, even if they grew up together, because cats don’t always have the time or they forget. A cat shouldn’t be left without an empty water or food bowl because a child forgot to fill it. Give them age-appropriate duties, sure, but make sure you are also monitoring things so your cat never suffers.
Model the behavior you want to see in your children in relation to your cat. If you want them to be tender, make sure you’re displaying that very behavior. Let your children see how much you love and how much compassion you have for the animals in your family and you’ll be paving the way for them to do the same. | [

Sonali Roy, who married her partner Alka Kedwal and now lives in Kolkata with the latter's son from her previous marriage, says the presence of celebs at pride marches would have done wonders to the cause. "Celebs have to face a lot of challenges to be well-settled. While they can create an example by coming out in the open, I understand that taking up further challenges by being in pride parades may not be to their liking," she says. Queer activist Pawan Dhall admits that he had made futile attempts to talk to celebs on attending the march.

MUMBAI: The masks are down, so is the guard. Mumbai's queer community came out in droves on Saturday to not just celebrate pride but also to reinforce the message of equal rights and acceptance. The Queer Azaadi March, which was flagged off amid the din of slogans and cries for freedom, witnessed a perceptible difference in the mood of its participants, not necessarily from the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) community. For one, fewer participants seemed hesitant to reveal their faces.
December 2, 2012 |
It was in 2009 that the Delhi high court decriminalized gay sex. And this was the fifth year that India's capital city saw the pride parade. But how much have things changed for the LGBT community where it matters the most â€" at home? It can be a long, lonely, and frightening process. To understand that you're gay, then to come to terms with your sexuality, which can take years, and then finally, perhaps with counselling, to come out to your parents. After which, very often, the more difficult journey begins.
July 14, 2012 |
Recently, a social networking site launched gay and lesbian icons to make it easier for users to announce same sex marriages. A step that points even more to the acceptance and respect that homosexuality is gaining in the world; a step against homophobia. Yet, closer home, in mainstream cinema, the portrayal of homosexuals is still very stereotypical and the characters are introduced just for laughs, feel some celebs. In Bol Bachchan, Abhishek invents a gay twin brother and lends his Dostana touch to the character.
June 29, 2010 |
A year ago, on July 2, 2009, the LGBT community all over India had spilled out onto the streets in joyous celebration, when homosexuality was decriminalized in India. Last year, of course, that was just days after Delhi's gay pride parade, so the swirl of rainbow colours in Delhi was even more carnivalesque. But this year, while the pride parade will happen later, in cooler weather, an event will be held in Connaught Place to mark a year of freedom for the LGBT community.
June 11, 2009 |
CHENNAI: They're a section that's often invisible in a society that still disapproves of alternative sexual choices and even criminalises homosexuality. But, for the first time, members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community in the city are making their voice heard by celebrating LGBT Pride Month, with a host of events and possibly even a Pride March on June 28. Across the world, June is celebrated as Pride Month to commemorate the anniversary of the Stonewall riots of 1969, when members of the LGBT community in New York fought against police harassment.
June 30, 2003 |
KOLKATA: This was one rally that did not disrupt traffic. And if some of those who witnessed the 150-odd young men walking down from Park Circus to Dhakuria on Sunday sniggered or passed comments, they were in a minority. This brought a smile on the faces of the members of 'Integration'? the city's first gay rights group, which along with five other organisations hosted the rally, 'Walk on the rainbow' early on Sunday. Yet at the end of the day, the spokespersons for the state's 10,000-odd men and women who believe in alternative sexuality had no demands and just one request to the state government and to their neighbours, colleagues and friends.
December 1, 2012 |
Despite an amendment in the law, sexual minorities in the state say they are still a traumatised lot While the LGBT (lesbian-gay-bisexual-transgender) community in several metro cities took to the streets to actively participate in the Gay Pride Walk, their counterparts in Kerala had to be satisfied with a small rally in Calicut, that too after a lot of deliberation by activists. The Gay Pride Walk is conducted in Thrissur every year. However, this year, the members of the community thought of a venue change and planned to organise it in Calicut, which is a more conservative city.

Turrialba is an active volcano of the Cordillera Volcánica Central in Costa Rica, which is currently experiencing a renewal of the eruptive activity after ~150 years of eruptive quiescence. Because of its explosive eruptive records in the recent geological history and the proximity with the metropolitan area of San José this volcano poses serious threats to the population and economy of the area. In this study, we investigated the andesitic products of an explosive event (VEI 4) that occurred at Turrialba volcano ~2 ka, which we referred to as “El Retiro” eruption. Results from field observations, textural and chemical analyses indicate that the El Retiro eruption was characterized by two main pulses separated by a low energy activity. The eruption was fed by a homogeneous andesitic magma batch that crystallized along a P-T path of 0.1–400 MPa and 1050–1145 °C. The vesicle number density of pumiceous clasts ranges between 107 and 108 cm−3, in agreement with previous data from subplinian eruptions. The magma batch underwent decompression rates and pre-fragmentation velocities of 0.40–0.95 MPa s−1 and 23–37 m s−1, respectively. A marked textural variability within each stratigraphic layer has been also observed. This potentially suggests a horizontal zonation of the magma column, a condition that may have induced velocity gradients and high viscosity contrasts in the conduit leading to magma fragmentation. The observed pulsating behavior translates into mass eruption rate fluctuations that can be related to changes in magma volatile contents. Further explosive eruptions with characteristics similar to those observed for El Retiro, cannot be excluded at Turrialba volcano. This denotes the importance of investigating eruption dynamics at the conduit, providing key information to rigorously assess the volcanic risk in populated areas.

Sewanee and Yale Collaborations
Sewanee-At-Yale Summer Internship Project Areas
Summer 2014 Project Areas
(1) Intern: Shelby Monahan; Mentor: Tamara Vanderwal, M.D.: The summer intern in the VanderLab will be trained to 1) run EEG sessions, 2) help run sessions in a simulated MRI magnet with young children, and 3) will also help run function MRI (fMRI) sessions with healthy adults. These projects focus on the use of movies to study functional brain activity in children and adults, and are attempting to determine whether or not it is possible to measure brain connectivity from movie-watching data rather than data collected during “rest,” and to evaluate the effects of movies on head motion. Intern jobs include recruitment, organizing study materials, running EEG sessions, performing literature searches if indicated, and learning about fMRI.
(2) Interns: Christine Carlone, Abigail Immanuel; Mentor: Helena Rutherford, Ph.D.: This project will focus on examining EEG data and exploring individual differences at the level of addiction as well as clinical symptoms, including depression and anxiety in mothers and non-mothers. Interns will learn how to collect as well as process EEG data. Interns will be exposed to the neuroscience of parenting and how substance use and abuse may impact parenting behavior. Interns will also gain experience in other aspects of parenting research.
(3) Intern: Litton Whitaker; Mentors: Kasia Charwarska, Ph.D. and Fred Shic, Ph.D.: This project covers studies of toddlers with Autism and other developmental disorders using behavioral and neurobehavioral methods to investigate the complex interplay between autism symptoms and emotion processing in early development.
(4) Intern: Matson Conrad; Mentor: Ifat Levy, Ph.D.: The summer intern will be involved in studying decision-making under uncertainty in humans. This will include contributing to study design, running subjects in behavioral and fMRI settings and analyzing the data.
(5) Interns: Natalie Jones and Zola Chihombori Quao; Mentor: Megan Smith, Ph.D.: Low-income new mothers are at greater risk for a range of mental health problems as well as parenting difficulties in part secondary to their social isolation. This project focuses on developing new strategies for enhancing social networks among pregnant women and their access to medical and mental health services for themselves and their infants. Some of these new strategies include using web-based and smart phone technologies. Interns in this program will learn about working in community settings, coordinating focus groups among parents, and designing models for web-based platforms to enhance social connectedness among new mothers.
(6) Intern: Olivia Glascoe; Mentors: Lois Sadler, Ph.D. and Arietta Slade, Ph.D.: The intern in this position will work in a home-based intervention project for first time at-risk mothers and their infants (Minding the Baby project) This project exposes interns to home-based intervention work with families and with the principles of intensive, long-term work with families and how to study the effectiveness of such interventions.
(7) Interns: Lauren Vasquez and Michael Lord; Mentor: Michael Crowley, Ph.D.: The intern in this position will be involved in recruiting and assessment for a neuroimaging study of avoidance in children. The intern will also be learning about the acquisition and analysis of bio-signals (EEG, HR, startle) for studies of emotion and motivation in children and families.
(8) Intern: Hannah Morgan; Mentor: Denis Sukhodolsky, Ph.D.: Dr. Sukhodolsky is currently conducting a study of neural mechanisms of behavioral therapy for aggression in children. This study enrolls children with a range of neuropsychiatric disorders in accordance with the Research Domain Criteria project of the National Institute of Mental Health. Children complete neuroimaging and electrophysiological experiments before and after treatment to examine changes in neural circuitry of emotion regulation and social perception associated with reduction in aggression. Summer intern will work with the multidisciplinary team conducing this study and will learn about clinical research in children with neurodevelopmental disorders. Specific responsibilities will include help with guiding subjects through clinical assessments, data management, and literature reviews on study related topics.
(9) Intern: Isabelle Hermantin; Mentor: Kimberly Yonkers, M.D.: The intern in this position will work on project MISA which is an implementation study evaluating 3 methods to implement motivational interviewing in a general medical setting. There are 3 arms to the study. The first is a seminary only group, the second is seminar plus bedside supervision and the third is seminar plus placing an inpatient consult. The target population is hospitalized patients who have a substance abuse or dependence problem.

Solar panels also referred to as photovoltaic (PV) panels, are devices that transform sunlight into electricity. They are a crucial part of solar power systems because they convert the sun's abundant energy into clean, renewable electricity.
The solar cell, which is made by solar panel manufacturers from semiconducting materials like silicon, is the main part of a solar panel. Photons from the sun can be turned into electrons by these materials. At the point when photons strike the sunlight-based cell, they move their energy to the electrons, permitting them to stream unreservedly through the material. This progression of electrons makes an electric flow.
On the solar panel's surface, solar cells are typically arranged in a grid-like pattern. Although the total number of cells in a panel can generate a significant amount of power when combined, each individual cell only produces a small amount of electricity. Solar Panel sellers produce different kinds of boards that can be interconnected to frame a sun-oriented exhibit, which can be increased to satisfy the energy needs of different applications, from private homes to enormous-scope sun-powered ranches.

Matthew Weaver, a California State University San Marcos student, editor of The Koala and Associated Students Inc. presidential candidate, was arrested on March 15 for allegedly stealing some 700 usernames and passwords to alter the results of the ASI election, which was to end the same day as his arrest. The March election was called off and rescheduled for the end of May, just before final exams.
Weaver stole the log-in information with a device used to store keystrokes — much like those used at gas pumps to steal credit card information — which he allegedly attached to school computers days prior to the closing of the election. Campus officials were alerted of suspicious activity on school computers and found Weaver in the library with the device.
The CSU system has a zero-tolerance policy for plagiarism and cheating in regards to exams and schoolwork, but after being arrested on a $50,000 bail for fraud, identity theft and unlawful access to a computer, Weaver posted bail and received no charges for his clearly illegal actions.
Weaver, who is a junior at the university, has already received much criticism for being an editor of the underground student publication, The Koala, which promotes violence against women, obscene cartoons depicting sexual acts and pedophilia. The publication, which is issued monthly, has been dismantled as a student organization during the last year because of its unorthodox approaches to obtaining readership and the questionable material within the paper.
There is definitely something to be said about the abundance of unanswered questions within this slowly unfolding local drama. First of all, why is this gentleman (if we can even call him that) still a student? If someone was caught using keystroke devices on a school computer to access exam answers or faculty log-in information or perhaps even student records and grade logs, it’s safe to say they would no longer be attending the school — let alone be facing zero charges. And secondly, why is the bulk of this case just hitting the news in the third week of April when it happened in mid-March? In five weeks, a man was caught, arrested, released and charges were dropped before any local news station caught wind of the incident.
CSUSM is a school of roughly 10,200 students, making 700 log-ins slightly less than 7 percent of the student body, and we all know there is never 100 percent voter turnout in such elections. The stolen log-in information had the potential to put a decent sized bump in Weaver’s poll results. If he hadn’t been caught before the balloting ended, he likely would have raised eyebrows afterward.
According to an article in The CSUSM Pride student newspaper, Weaver was contacted but declined to make a statement and school officials would not comment on the future of his status as a student. The same article speculates about what may come next, stating that “Until Weaver is formally charged, it’s hard to gauge what sort of legal consequences he may face, but one legal expert said that the commission of this type (of) crime could lead to university punishment as well as a state trial.”
The FBI – which is required to find violation of a federal law in order to maintain jurisdiction – is now looking into the case, but has not confirmed its investigating as of yet. When originally arrested, Weaver faced numerous counts of identity theft and fraud, but one FBI official said it may have a federal case against Weaver. “We are looking into it,” FBI special agent Darrel Foxworth said. “I can’t say exactly what we are looking at, but given the facts and circumstances that have been reported to us, it appears there may be violations of federal laws.”
Hopefully the rulemakers at the CSU offices will be investigated as well. Of all the wrongs there are to right, this one seems pretty damn obvious.
As stated in his candidacy statement on the ASI website, Weaver is an active member in many clubs, an organization chairman and a business owner. If Weaver does face charges, his career as a college student and all that he claims to have going for him will be done. I hope it was worth it, Weaver. | [
