Jennifer Lawrence was 24 when she shot Joy. Her character, Joy Mangano, was 34 when she invented the Miracle Mop and became one of the first stars of the QVC network. This fact remains inescapable throughout Joy. Lawrence remains watchable in Joy because, as one of our best young actors, she can’t help but be watchable. But she’s totally miscast as a divorced mother of two who’s been repeatedly beaten down by life’s disappointments. This part was meant for the Jennifer Lawrence of a 2025, not the one of 2015.
Whatever you do, never speak on behalf of Jennifer Lawrence. Seriously, don’t do it. Girl’s got a shotgun. In the latest trailer for David O. Russell’s Joy, we get a longer look at the Lawrence-led family drama, and a really great line courtesy of Robert De Niro. | [

Rajya Sabha clears Triple Talaq Bill
In a historic move, the Rajya Sabha on Tuesday cleared the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Bill, 2019, which makes the practice of instant ‘triple talaq’ a criminal offence.
The Bill proposes to protect the rights of married Muslim women by prohibiting the practice of divorce by pronouncing talaq by their husbands.
It also makes triple talaq a cognizable offence, under which Muslim men can face a jail term of up to three years for giving triple talaq, and provides allowance to victim women and their dependent children.
The bill was passed by the Lok Sabha last week. The Upper House passed the bill today by 99 votes in favour, and 84 against it.
While the non-aligned BJD supported the legislation, JD-U and AIADMK walked out, lowering the majority mark which normally stands at 121. The ruling NDA has 107 members in the 242-member Rajya Sabha.
The NDA was also helped by the absence of some members of SP and BSP as well as those of Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) and YSR-Congress.
Once granted assent by the President, the bill will replace an ordinance promulgated last on February 21 to the same effect as the bill. Incidentally, 101 cases of triple talaq came to light ever after the government brought the ordinance.
Replying to a four-and-half-hour debate on the Bill, Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad cited jail provisions in the legislation that ban dowry and multiple marriages by Hindu men to justify the three-year jail term for Muslim men practices triple talaq.
The minister also slammed Leader of the Opposition Ghulam Nabi Azad, who termed the bill as a politically motivated move to destroy Muslim households with domestic fights.
He also said the 1986 Shah Bano case, where the Congress did not stick its neck out to support women rights, as the main reason for the downfall of the party.
“In 1986 you rose to 400 seats, Shah Bano’s case happened in 1986 and you never received a majority in any of 9 Lok Sabha elections after that. I am giving you food for thought,” Prasad said.
The law, he said, was not being brought due to the Supreme Court ruling of 2017 declaring talaq-e-biddat, commonly referred to as instant triple talaq, unconstitutional.
We cannot leave in lurch women who have been divorced by triple talaq via WhatsApp or other such means, Prasad said, adding that when the Muslim world is trying to reform, why can’t a democracy do the same.
A historic day when the Rajya Sabha passed the #TripleTalaq Bill, earlier passed by Lok Sabha.
Govt of PM @narendramodi has fulfilled its commitment by giving justice to Muslim women.
No more Talaq-Talaq-Talaq!https://t.co/KwNL7OhbJP
— Ravi Shankar Prasad (@rsprasad) July 30, 2019
Trying to shed anti-Muslim image, he said his party gave the nation a President from the same community.
On opposition charge of targeting Muslims, he said BJP may be getting a little less votes from the community but it considers them very much a part of the country and works on the principle of ‘sabka saath, sabka vikas, sabka vishwas’.
Prasad said the bill should not be seen through a political prism as it is a matter of humanity, woman empowerment and gender equality.
“More than 20 Islamic nations have regulated triple talaq,” he said.
Azad said the opposition has been forced to vote against the bill after the government did not accept their demand to send it to a select committee and make triple talaq a civil offence.
The Triple Talaq bill could not make it through the Upper House earlier this year during the first term of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government, although it was passed by Lok Sabha.
The Bill was again passed by the Lok Sabha last week amid a walkout by several opposition parties including the Congress and the Trinamool Congress (TMC).
The opposition parties have argued that in its current form, the proposed law could be misused to harass Muslims and wanted it to be reviewed by a parliamentary committee. However, the house had rejected the motion.
An archaic and medieval practice has finally been confined to the dustbin of history!
Parliament abolishes Triple Talaq and corrects a historical wrong done to Muslim women. This is a victory of gender justice and will further equality in society.
India rejoices today!

Budapest is the capital of Hungary. It is not only the most populous city of Hungary, but also the tenth-largest city in the EU (by population within city limits).
In its illustrious history Budapest had it all. The history of the city began with early Celtic settlement, which later was transformed into a Roman town of Aquincum, the capital of Lower Pannonia. The Hungarians arrived in the territory in the late 9th century. The Mongols pillaged the settlement in 1241. Some parts of the mordern Budapest for more than a century was under Ottoman rule. In 1873 after unification of several settlements (Buda, Obuda, and Pest) a city of Budapest appeared on the maps. New city also became the co-capital of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the second largest city in the empire after Vienna.
Budapest always mentioned as one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. It was ranked as “the world’s second best city” by Condé Nast Traveler, and listed as one of “Europe’s 7th most idyllic place to live” by Forbes.

The course Urban Social-Ecological Systems lets you dig deep into the issues of sustainable cities such as multifunctional solutions and biodiversity. Application deadline is 15 October. Photo: A. Löf/Azote
60% of the area projected to be urban in 2030 has not yet been built. The rapid urbanization that is currently taking place poses great challenges as well as exciting opportunities. To ensure their long-term well-being and to reduce urban pressure on global systems, future cities need to be just, green, resource efficient, and populated by engaged citizens.
Urban Social-Ecological Systems is a trans-disciplinary Master's level course. The complexities of cities are explored through a systems approach where ecological, social and economic aspects are integrated: What does biodiversity have to do with citizens' well-being? What is urban resilience? What changes of governance are needed to establish and maintain urban sustainable development?
An opportunity to dig deep
The course instructors, most of who are working within or in close collaboration with the urban theme at Stockholm Resilience Centre, will share insights from their different perspectives and the most recent urban research.
Linkages between science, policy and practice are emphasized throughout the course and the theoretical parts are explained in relation to practical examples of urban questions.
In this course the participants go through a variety of scientific methods, both quantitative and qualitative, in exercises where they formulate and run a field based project applying the theoretical frame and methodological approaches of the course in a real world context.
In the spring of 2015 a group of students from the course looked at multifunctionality of golf courses as a possible way of increasng willingnes to promote urban green areas. With several functions, such as cafés, marked trails and public restrooms, tied into and around a golf course the idea is that more people will value the environement it provides.

Advantages of Implementing Ozone Treatment for Aquariums
Exploring the captivating realm of aquarium ownership encompasses the enchanting hues and captivating forms of chosen coral, fish, and other living beings. Whether your tank is home to Boseman’s Rainbowfish, German Blue Rams, or Flowerhorn Cichlids, safeguarding the inhabitants within becomes a priority—be it adorning your personal living space or delighting guests at your restaurant, bar, or hotel.
Maintaining an optimal environment for aquatic plants and marine life involves various factors. Yet, when it comes to enhancing your viewing experience and the efficiency of an aquarium system, the undeniable key player is water quality. If you're not already aware, utilizing ozone treatment is a highly beneficial practice for this aspect of upkeep.
Understanding the Mechanism of Ozone Treatment in Aquariums
To comprehend the application of ozone treatment in an aquarium, it's beneficial to grasp its chemical composition. While oxygen (O2) is likely familiar to you, ozone (O3) is a less recognized three-molecule structure. Ozone is often characterized as highly reactive because one molecule within the trio has a strong tendency to separate itself. This rebellion leads to an impressive oxidizing effect when ozone is in action. Fortunately, we've mastered the utilization of ozone treatment, harnessing its power to accomplish various objectives, including enhancing the maintenance of indoor fish and reef tanks.
To employ ozone treatment safely in your aquarium, you'll require a device, specifically an ozone generator, capable of consistently producing ozone for your tank without interruptions. Take our ozone generators as an example, utilizing corona discharge to generate an electrical charge that splits the oxygen molecules of O3, ensuring the effective delivery of natural and safe ozone antimicrobial disinfection.
So, what’s in it for you?
The benefits of employing ozone treatment in an aquarium vary based on several factors such as tank size, configuration, the quantity and species of specimens, lighting preferences, and the type of plant matter present. In this discussion, we'll delve into how the application of ozone in freshwater, marine, and reef aquariums can accomplish the following:
1. Achieving Crystal-Clear Water for a Stunning Spectrum of Colors
Considerable sums, potentially reaching into the thousands of dollars, are invested in adorning aquariums with vibrant hues, aiming to recreate a personal fragment of the Great Barrier Reef within the confines of your home or business. It's no surprise, then, that one of the most common grievances among aquarium enthusiasts, reef keepers, or casual observers is the appearance of cloudiness or discoloration in a tank. Untreated aquarium water inevitably develops a degree of yellowing, attributed to residues from fish food, aquatic waste, and algae. While nature has its self-cleansing mechanisms, a confined tank lacks this, necessitating assistance to optimize the enjoyment of your aquarium.
Ozone treatment emerges as a solution to counteract the undesirable effects of organic substances in a tank that lead to cloudiness or water discoloration. Specifically, ozone treatment effectively oxidizes the yellow pigments prevalent in reef aquariums, responsible for a tank's 'dirty' appearance, reduced light penetration, and diminished coral allure. When administered correctly, ozone treatment not only significantly improves the tank's aesthetic but also eliminates the need for cumbersome water changes, as ozone transforms yellowed saltwater back to the clarity levels of freshly mixed saltwater.
With ozone treatment, achieving the crystal-clear, pristine blue water you desire becomes a tangible reality.
2. Eliminate Toxins in Your Aquarium
The residents of an aquarium can create a potentially harmful environment that jeopardizes the well-being of the entire ecosystem. Some marine creatures intentionally release toxins to harm other organisms, and corals, by nature, defend themselves against potential predators and vie for their territory against other organisms. While these toxins swiftly dissipate in an ocean setting, they can accumulate in an aquarium, leading to disruptions in the ecosystem.
Ozone specifically targets such organic toxins, breaking them down into much less harmful compounds. For instance, ozone has been associated with the detoxification of botulinum toxin in freshwater environments at concentrations as low as 0.01 ppm ozone, achieving results in less than sixty seconds of contact time.
3. Banish Unpleasant Odors from Your Aquarium Tank
While each aquarium is unique, it's not uncommon for the amalgamation of fish, plants, and other living organisms to generate unpleasant odors, detracting from the overall enjoyment of the aquarium. Opting to enhance a reef aquarium with cutting-edge technology, such as an ozone generator, effectively addresses sea-based odors that can permeate a room with seafood-like scents or the aroma of decomposing material, such as algae. While some aquarium owners resort to | [

Correlations between the Western Sahel precipitation index and ACE in the warmest 28 years minus correlations between the Western Sahel precipitation index and ACE in the coldest 28 years, based on detrended SST data. The apparent recent breaking of the year Sahel drought during and suggests that the incidence of intense hurricanes making landfall on the U.S.
coast and in the Caribbean basin will likely increase during the s and early years of the 21st century to levels of activity notably greater than were observed during the s and by: Abstract. Sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies in the tropical Atlantic have been associated with precipitation anomalies in West Africa that form a dipole pattern with centers over the Sahel and the Gulf of Guinea.
Whilst this was clear before the's, the dipole pattern almost disappeared after that date. The interannual and decadal to multidecadal variability of precipitation in western Sahel region was examined using wavelet transform and coherency analysis.
The aim was to identify the major climate index that has a robust relationship with Sahel precipitation (drought).Cited by: 4.

Graphene Based Materials for Arsenic Sensing and Removal from Contaminated Water
Graphene has become a promising material for many different applications, such as nanoelectronic devices, physical, chemical and biochemical sensors, transparent conductive films, clean energy devices, or nanocomposite formulation. Sensing applications using graphene sheets as transducers have experienced a surge in the last few years, especially for gas sensing platforms, or electrochemical sensors, because of the high electrical conductivity of graphene.
In this work, we investigate the synthesis of graphene by methane decomposition at 1000 °C onto free standing electrodeposited substrates, studying the effects of the electrochemical synthesis onto graphene quality. The growth of good quality graphene layers is also discussed in terms of the role played by grain boundaries and diffusion at the grain boundaries. As an advance of graphene studies, 2D graphene nanomaterials have been applied to arsenic sensing and removal from contaminated water. The work will discuss our latest studies and progresses on the application of graphene-based materials in the environmental protection and detection for arsenic contaminated waters. The work will present the use of graphene based electrodes for electrochemical sensing of arsenic; a similar approach will be discuss for arsenic removal, discussing kinetics and performances of the process. | [

Gaming on mobile casinos is fast becoming as popular as online casino gambling However, the question is why. What is the reason why playing games on mobile casinos is popular? What is making mobile gaming the go-to option for those who want to enjoy the thrill of betting on the virtual table? Here are the main reasons:
The majority of gambling apps can be downloaded for free on both the iPhone and Android mobile phones. Of course, there will be exceptions however, for the vast part, the vast majority of gambling apps are for free. This is fantastic news. This means that mobile casino games are now free to play. Of course, this presents some risks.
Mobile casino games offer one of the paukov pasijans most appealing benefits: portability. Mobile casino games are portable. There is no need to carry a gaming console, laptop or handheld gamepad. Instead they can connect to a live casino on their mobile device. It’s as simple as that. There’s no need to be uncomfortable as you can utilize your feet or a peripheral device to control it. Make sure your device is equipped with an LED (for low-light conditions) and a GPS location service, which allows you to track your location at any time.
In addition mobile casino games offer many choices and options that aren’t offered in traditional gambling establishments. Traditional casinos often make it difficult for gamblers to play in an area that is isolated. This can cause anxiety and negative feelings. When playing in a public space you can be sure that there are people who are always around, which eliminates the isolation that can trigger anxiety and fear. You can also play your games virtually anywhere, which could reduce travel expenses and make it less necessary to take an extended road trip.
Mobile casino games also provide a welcome bonus for players who wish to take their gaming experience on the road. Many phones and tablet computers come with GPS technology and this means that you can immediately start taking your game on the go and still enjoy top-quality entertainment and relaxation. These devices also let you quickly adjust your game inside your vehicle. These devices let you carry your gaming wherever you go so you can play while in transit and on the road. This is a welcome bonus for many gamblers on the move especially those who would rather stay away from their regular casino experience.
These games for mobile are fantastic, but you need to be aware of a few points. First, make sure you have the correct controls in place if you’re playing any of these touchscreen games from tablets or smartphones. This will ensure that you don’t accidentally click the wrong button, which could cause you to lose your winnings. It also gives you additional gaming options like the ability to change the difficulty level or even the graphics.
Another crucial consideration to take when using these mobile and tablet devices to play casino games on the go is to make sure that you have a stable and reliable internet connection. You can play a variety of casino games with high-speed and normal internet connections, and even free ones. However, if you are playing at one of the more premium Android casinos, you could be able to see that your connection is unable to handle high traffic on specific sites. If this is the situation, it is better to pay the access fee and play at this level rather than attempting to speed up your gaming experience due to slow internet speeds.
In the final step, before you begin playing any mobile casino games, you will need to download the mobile casino games app. This is usually done vk video downloader by using your default Google or Yahoo mobile browser. Once you have downloaded the app, you’ll need to open it and start playing immediately! This feature is unique and allows you to stay in touch with your friends and play the most popular games for mobile devices. With these tips in mind, you will have a much easier time picking out the best apps for your phones. | [

Results of Early Monitoring of Circulating Tumor DNA in Resected Early-Stage Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Among the questions that cancer patients ask following their surgeries are, “Will it come back? Do I need additional treatment?”
Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) offers a possible tool for answering those questions. ctDNA found in the bloodstream comes from cancerous cells and tumors; and monitoring ctDNA in patients with resected early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) could aid in detecting and managing recurrence.
Aaron Dinerman, MD, Baylor University Medical Center, Baylor Scott & White System, and coauthors evaluated the impact of early real-world experience of monitoring ctDNA among these patients.
Beginning in October 2021, post-operative ctDNA was monitored for all surgically resected NSCLC patients (76) at the Baylor Medical Center. Peripheral blood samples were collected for ctDNA at 3-month intervals. Of those 76 patients, eight were positive for ctDNA. Post-operative clinical care was altered for seven of the eight; five received an earlier surveillance CT scan, and six received early PET-CT scan. Six of the ctDNA-positive patients had a biopsy-proven recurrence and were directed into therapy; two have not demonstrated radiographic evidence of recurrence but were directed into earlier interval surveillance.
The serial monitoring of ctDNA following resection of early-stage NSCLC resulted in early detection of recurrent cancer and led to early surveillance and/or unexpected medical oncology referral in seven of the eight patients with positive ctDNA. (One patient demonstrated recurrence [brain metastases] with a negative ctDNA level.) This study exemplifies the impact of ctDNA on surveillance and management in early stage resected NSCLC. Further multicenter studies are required to determine protocol-specific best practices.
Travis Martin, DO, of the University of North Texas Health Science Center, will present the results of this study and its implications Sunday, May 7, at the American Association for Thoracic Surgery (AATS) 103rd Annual Meeting in Los Angeles. | [

Manhattan art dealer Sera James watched her world crumble at the altar two years ago, and her heart is still fragile. Her desire for distraction reignites a passion for a mysterious portrait she first saw as a young girl---a painting of a young violinist with piercing blue eyes. In her search for the painting, Sera crosses paths with William Hanover, the grandson of a wealthy California real estate mogul, who may be the key to uncovering the hidden masterpiece. Together, Sera and William slowly unravel the story behind the painting's subject: Austrian violinist Adele Von Bron.

Two Details You Do Certainly Not Realize Concerning LASIK Eye Surgical OperationsThe eye can be analyzed with relative ease as to both its function and its structure. A functional evaluation includes the ability to move in the orbit and the response of the student to light and accommodation.
The function of the eye might be tested in a number of ways. The client might be asked to recognize illuminated letter or objects of differing sizes on what is referred to as the Snellen chart.
Conversely, the evaluation of the structural part of the eye might be made in numerous ways. Tension within the eyeball is measured by a "tonometer." In specific diseases, especially in glaucoma, the stress in the eyeball is increased considerably.
Nevertheless, it should be well kept in mind that a client with an eye issue might have other issues also. Typically other physical conditions are primary and affect the eye as a repercussion. The look of the eye can signal the client and the doctor to problems in some disruptions of other parts of the body even before other signs provide themselves.
Subsequently, one's reliance on sight is highlighted when one faces a temporary or possible permanent loss of this essential sense. When restorative measures are looked for, specific forms of vision correction such as contact lenses or eyeglasses are prescribed.
On the other hand, some individuals are troubled with the truth that they have actually some framed lenses or contact lenses in front of their eyes.
For this factor, advanced surgeries were established to motivate decreased utilization of contact lenses or glasses. One of which is the now popular LASIK eye surgical treatment.
Essentially, LASIK eye surgery is the short-term for "Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis." Like its concrete equivalent, LASIK eye surgery is another kind of vision correction. The only difference is that with this type of surgical treatment, one's vision is fixed permanently.
With LASIK eye surgery, the refractive mistakes in the cornea are permanently changed. site link This can be done using an "excimer laser."
The main function of this surgery is to produce a threadlike, rounded "flap" in the see post cornea using a blade understood as "microkeratome." In a series of unfolding and laser processing, the cornea is lastly reformed, permitting better the eye to direct more light into the retina.
Popularity vs. Disadvantages
In the middle of the growing appeal of LASIK eye surgery, there are still disadvantages that individuals need to understand. Probably, the main reason that this kind of eye surgery has actually become well accepted is due to the fact that the majority of its cases had succeeded.
In spite of its success, there are still some disadvantages. Here is the list:
1. It is an operation applied to the most delicate part of the eye
Since LASIK eye surgical treatment involves the operation of the retina, which is one of the most delicate portions of the eye, the majority of people state that the operation can be extremely dangerous.
Simply puts, a basic error might almost cause an individual's life time blindness. Hence, it is very important to consider numerous elements prior to choosing whether LASIK eye surgery is the best restorative step one needs to go through.
2. It is not a ideal procedure
LASIK eye surgery may remedy your vision but it does not always indicate that it can provide you a ideal vision. Even if statistical reports reveal that 70% of the clients might have 20/20 vision, this does not necessarily mean they have perfect vision also.
Offered all these things, it can be deduced that, in spite of the appeal of the operation, LASIK might not constantly be the perfect eye surgery the method the majority of people see it
Alternatively, the assessment of the structural part of the eye might be made in numerous ways. It needs to be well remembered that a client with an eye problem may have other problems. Often other physical conditions are main and impact the eye as a repercussion. The appearance of the eye can signal the doctor and the patient to troubles in some disruptions of other parts of the body even before other signs present themselves.
Like its tangible equivalent, LASIK eye surgery is another form of vision correction. | [

Hydraulic Pump Performance as a Function of Speed and Pressure 961741
Every hydraulic system use requires a pump to supply the necessary flow and support the imposed pressure cycle. Therefore the performance of the pump in a hydraulic system is critical to the overall performance of the system. It is a well known fact that the performance of a hydraulic pump is influenced by both the speed at which it is operating and the pressure to which it is subjected. This paper evaluates the volumetric efficiency of a hydraulic pump using both the fundamental expressions which are generally accepted and actual data test data. The widely accepted equation for pump leakage is presented along with an expression that includes the parameter of speed. Results obtained using a pressure-loaded gear pump are used to compare and evaluate the analytical expressions. This comparison reveals a significant influence of speed at high pressures on the volumetric efficiency of the pump. Many times in actual practice the effect of speed on pump performance is not given proper consideration. These data indicate that for realistic performance analysis, the rotational speed of the pump is an important parameter. | [

Monday, April 23, 2012 | 2 a.m.
When artist Roark Gourley fashioned giant shoes that would sit in the Cosmopolitan, he had no idea he was creating one of the biggest photo opportunities on the Las Vegas Strip.
"We thought maybe two or three people a day would want to get their pictures taken with them, " Gourley said. "We didn't know it would be two or three people a minute."
People don't only want to get their pictures taken by the shoes. They want to climb in them and on them. They want to be a part of them.
"We were just flabbergasted at the response," Gourley said.
Being designed as art and not playground equipment, the shoes are showing wear and tear 16 months after the Cosmopolitan opened. A couple of weeks ago, they were shipped out of the casino to be refurbished.
"It's like taking them to a shoe spa," Gourley said.
The shoes went back to the Santa Ana, Calif., studio where they were made to be stripped down, repaired and have the insoles replaced. The shoes will be repainted and finished with a protective clear coat.
"These shoes are kind of painted like Ferraris," Gourley said.
Gourley worked with a group of artists put together by Dean Daniel of Daniel Fine Art that helped create much of the whimsical artwork that has become a hallmark of the Cosmopolitan.
The shoes originally appeared on pedestals with ropes around them.
"It was like having a new car that you didn't want to get scratched," said Lisa Marchese, chief marketing officer for the casino.
But the public wanted to try the shoes on, so the ropes came down.
"It was only a short time before we knew we couldn't rope them off," Gourley said. "This was art people wanted to be involved with."
One piece, a bright pink stiletto titled "Fit to Be Tied," was taken to the main entry, off Las Vegas Boulevard.
"We hadn't even lifted it off the wheels before we had people lining up, waiting to get in it and have their pictures taken," Marchese said.
The rejuvenation of the shoes will be documented through social media. Photos will be posted throughout the process on the Cosmopolitan's Facebook page.
When the shoes return, they will be made stronger and more able to withstand being climbed on and into, Gourley said. Plus, they'll look fabulous for photographs. The biggest wear has been to the insoles, so Gourley said replaceable insoles will be fashioned.
"The reaction of the people to this art has been so overwhelming," Gourley said. "Now, we have to work to meet that level of enthusiasm on our end."
The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas dares to be different. From the hotel’s red reservations desks to fine art found throughout the resort, The Cosmopolitan’s signature style is helping to pave its own path on the Las Vegas Strip.
Upon entering the resort, you’re greeted by pillars of video boards playing video art by Digital Kitchen and David Rockwell Studio exclusively produced for The Cosmopolitan. Just beyond that, you’ll find all your favorite casino games on the resort’s 100,000-square-foot casino floor.
The Cosmopolitan’s rooms standout as the resort’s most unique feature. About 2,220 of The Cosmopolitan’s 2,995 rooms have 6-foot deep terraces that span the length of the room, a first at a modern Strip hotel. Other in-room amenities include soaking tubs, kitchenettes and quirky accessories like artsy coffee table books.
The dining experience at The Cosmopolitan isn’t something you’ll find at other Strip resorts, either. All of The Cosmopolitan’s 13 restaurateurs are new to the Las Vegas market. You’ll find American steakhouse fare in a modern setting at STK, top-notch sushi at Blue Ribbon Sushi Bar & Grill and the freshest fish flown in from the Mediterranean daily at Estiatorio Milos.
Whether the sun is up or down, Marquee Nightclub & Dayclub is the place to find the party at The Cosmopolitan. The venue is a dayclub/nightclub, complete with a pool and cabanas outside and three different rooms with three different vibes inside.
If nightclubs aren’t your thing, you can grab a drink at one of The Cosmopolitan’s five other bars, like The Chandelier, which is encased in 2 million dripping crystals. | [

Rosajou's small manifesto
When Rosajou was launched, we were attacked pretty often: Really? makeup for kids? This is nonsense! Stop making our kids grow too fast. They might get used to it?
When you do things with your whole heart, it is hard to hear those critics because they hit you right in the soft spot. In the end, we understood that it was essential for us to communicate on our vision of childhood, our Why, our reason to be Rosajou.
So here it is, let us describe our vision of childhood for you.
Lightness : Play, have fun with lightness
In a world that has become hard and uncertain, where bad news floods the airwaves, lightness becomes a necessity. It is part of Rosajou's DNA. Like a counterweight to allow our children to live in gentleness, joy of living, carefree. At Rosajou, we cultivate it, we even cherish it. How do we do it? By daring to create products that allow us to live these moments of innocence and joy: situations where we giggle when we see the result of our makeup, where we have eyes that shine when we see our nails polished like those of our mom, where we apply our makeup to our little brother as a princess (it's real life experience )...
It is this lightness that guides us, and we are happy to participate in our way to build this bubble of tenderness.
Finding ourselves beautiful feeds self-esteem. Putting on make-up for a child is a game of imitation like any other, without any ulterior motive, in a simply pure and innocent way. As a child, we build the image we have of ourselves. If Rosajou can help our children acquire this confidence, which is essential to becoming a fulfilled adult, then we say YES. To do this, there is nothing like adapted products: formulas, colors and childlike design. That's Rosajou!
And to go further, here are...
We officially announce to all the children who use Rosajou that they have the right:
- To overshoot: when you color, you are allowed to overshoot, right? And our parents always think it's very pretty! So, with our makeup, we have the right too! Na!
- To make the colors of nail polish overlap: so much more amusing! We create new effects: red glitter, yellow pearl, green with golden reflections... absolute happiness!
- Putting too much on: yes, yes, that's allowed too! It's to have fun, so it's allowed
- To remove her polish 5 minutes later, even if it took 1 hour to do her manicure and even if mom helped a little!
- To put nail polish back on right after removing it: how else can you test all the combinations?!
- To do mommy's makeup: then that, we love!!!! And she looks so happy.
- To make Rosajou kisses: we also have the right to make marks when we make kisses!
- To make faces once ready: well, yes, we are not there to make the "be beautiful and shut up" And whatever if one says to us that we are not beautiful, we find ourselves beautiful!
- To put on makeup only for ourselves: Hey oh, we are in 2021! Then when we put on makeup it is above all for ourselves and if we find that beautiful, well there is the main thing!
- To imitate the gesture of mom or Aunt Jacqueline: of course, we take advantage of it to overdo it: we open wide the mouth, and we pinch the lips to spread well uniformly our lipstick
- To lend her makeup to her mom: "Okay mom but you don't ruin it for me, it's my favorite lipstick!" It's the world upside down and we love it!
- To do their friends' makeup, their sister and even their little brother: "come on Augustin, I'll dress you up as a princess, it will be very very funny as a game...especially for me"
- To put on makeup easily and this whatever your age, whether you're a boy or a girl: because it's fun for all kids to have polished nails!!! "And even if I'm a little boy, why should I be allowed to play shopkeeper and not wear makeup!!! And no daddy, it's not going to impact my manliness!"
So, isn't life beautiful with Rosajou? | [

Plan to erect giant flagpole in city’s northwest end gets a lift
After several Viagra jokes, Toronto city council agreed in principle to help erect North America’s tallest flagpole in the city’s northwest end.

After a debate sprinkled with Viagra jokes, Toronto city council agreed in principle to help erect North America’s tallest flagpole in the city’s northwest end.
Councillor Giorgio Mammoliti beseeched his colleagues to approve a plan that would put the 125-metre flagpole and giant flag in a new public square at Finch Ave. W. and Arrow Rd., west of Highway 400.
Under a plan recommended by staff, the city would help purchase the 5-acre parcel of land and put up the pole — construction costs alone are up to $3.5 million, mostly for the use of five cranes, Mammoliti said — and recoup the costs from the Emery Village Business Improvement Area.
“This is history in the making,” Mammoliti (Ward 7, York West) told councillors, saying tourists and schoolchildren will flock to see a Canadian flag “as big as a football field.”
“Why wouldn’t we want to be honouring our country that way?” he said after several councillors queried whether the city might be left dangling on the costs.
Councillor Howard Moscoe let loose a flurry of jokes, calling the project “the largest pole erection in North America.”
Moscoe (Ward 15, Eglinton Lawrence) succeeded in getting an amendment that council “encourage the Emery Village Business Improvement Area to seek corporate sponsorship from companies like Pfizer Inc. and Eli Lilly Canada Inc.,” makers of anti-impotence drugs.
In the end, council voted 30-6 to support the erection.

Porvorim: Independent MLA Rohan Khaunte on Thursday alleged that the BJP government has indulged in Tika Utsav to divert attention from the rising number of COVID-19 cases in the state.
Khaunte pointed out that the state has not imposed any restriction while neighbouring Maharashtra has gone for a lockdown due to rising infections.
“ I believe that the BJP government has been organising Tika Utsav only to divert attention of the people from increasing COVID-19 infections,” he said adding that there is no assurance that the people won’t get infected, after taking the vaccine.
Khaunte said that the state government should put severe restriction on the people arriving from neighbouring states. He said that CM Pramod Sawant in the name of economy and Tourism has left the ground open for the spread of the virus.
The Independent MLA said that the situation in state’s hospitals is grim as there is shortage of beds and the pictures of patients kept on stretchers in parking spaces is posted in social media. | [

A happy way to end the year and to begin preparing for 2013. It may sound trite, but in these often terrible times when unspeakable acts are perpetrated – seemingly every day – it may help us get through them if we can focus on what is most important. The things that bring us joy – a hug, a smile, friends, a great read, loving family, a delicious meal shared with good friends, catching snowflakes on your tongue. The ways in which small kindnesses that we commit bring peace or happiness or solace to others. We need to focus, go inward, to uncover the myriad of little events that enrich our lives and warm our hearts. Then, once we’ve unearthed some vestige of serenity, we can turn our minds to what’s ‘out there’ and try to make a difference.
I’ve heard Neil give this presentation – at Word on the Street and at the Ontario Library Association conference last year. His books are fantastic reads and his writing clearly reflects his thoughtfulness, love of life and observational skills. He’s the kind of warm, steady person you’d want to have as a friend.
Neil Pasricha’s blog 1000 Awesome Things savors life’s simple pleasures, from free refills to clean sheets. In this heartfelt talk, he reveals the 3 secrets (all starting with A) to leading a life that’s truly awesome. (Filmed at TEDxToronto.)

Go inside the Belgian classics with our team of reporters who are on the ground (er... cobbles) at E3 Harelbeke and Gent-Wevelgem.
Quick-Step dominated E3 Harelbeke with a brave breakaway, and Sagan sealed the deal with a sprint at Gent-Wevelgem.
Sep Vanmarcke hit the deck with five other EF-Drapac teammates midway through E3 Harelbeke, but fought back to finish seventh.
Friday’s impressive display confirmed Quick-Step is the strongest and most efficient team heading into the heart of Flanders week.
Peter Sagan complained of tactics not fitness in the E3 Harelbeke, a race dominated by Quick-Step Floors and its star Niki Terpstra.
Niki Terpstra nets his biggest win in four years with help from a domineering Quick-Step team at E3 Harelbeke.
After winless 2017, Niki Terpstra bounces back with an emphatic solo win at E3 Harelbeke, soaring with support from Quick-Step.
BMC Racing had three strong riders in the mix at E3 Harelbeke, but Van Avermaet could only manage a third-place result.
Belgian team Quick-Step Floors blitzed E3 Harelbeke Friday with Niki Terpstra taking a convincing solo win.
"I’ve never raced over the cobbles. I have never trained on the cobbles," says Landa ahead of E3 Harelbeke. | [

Through Whom the Light Shines
Praying with the Windows of All Saints’ Episcopal Church San Francisco
by Larry Holben[NOTE TO THE READER: The text of this document is taken from a pamphlet designed to be used in the church building itself. The reader will find some of the text below more meaningful when understood from that perspective.]
The saints of the church have sometimes been described as those through whom the light of God’s love shines with particular brilliance and clarity.
Such a characterization is apt for reflection upon the life and witness of those saints memorialized in the windows of All Saints’ Church. Like the “great cloud of witnesses” which the Epistle to the Hebrews pictures as surrounding Christians in their life and service, the images in glass of these men and women surround the people of All Saints’ when we gather, diffusing the light by which we pray and worship together. Some of these saints have stories rich with meaning and historical detail. Of others we know little but fragmentary legend. It is no longer possible to reconstruct precisely why a particular donor chose this or that subject for a given window, but taken together the lives represented here provide diverse and significant threads in that much larger tapestry which is the whole company of the faithful who have gone before us.
This booklet is designed not merely to provide information, but to be used in a meditative, prayerful private “walking” of the windows, much as one walks the traditional Stations of the Cross. Many of the prayers included are adapted from collects in the Episcopal Church’s Lesser Feasts & Fasts.
To walk the windows, come forward to the crossing (the outer edge of the raised platform of the sanctuary) and face the altar. Look to your right. The first window, just outside the curtained door of the ambulatory, is that of St. Elmo. This is where you will begin, continuing clockwise around the nave until you reach the last window just outside the Lady Chapel, that of the Annunciation.
St. Elmo, Bishop & Martyr
(Feast Day June 2nd)
There exists little or nothing in the way of documented historical fact regarding this once widely venerated saint. Most sources agree that he was a bishop of the church martyred at some point during the last great Roman persecution, that of Diocletian, which began in 303 and continued sporadically until 312.
The most common legend is that Elmo (or, more properly, Erasmus, his full name) was a native of Syria who, hounded from his original diocese by Imperial agents, eventually settled in Formiae in the Campagna (the broad plain surrounding the city of Rome). Whether or not he then became bishop of Formiae is disputed, but eventually he is said to have been martyred there-in later accounts, by having his intestines wound out of his body on a windlass, a barrel-shaped hoisting device used in seafaring and shipping.
Whether because of the supposed instrument of his martyrdom or due to some other now lost association with maritime endeavors, Elmo became the patron saint of sailors. He was especially venerated by Neapolitan seafarers, giving his name to “St. Elmo’s Fire,” an electrical discharge sometimes observed emanating from the mast-heads and yard-arms of ships and interpreted by pious seamen as a sign of the saint’s protection. This natural phenomenon is depicted in the background of the window, although in actuality it is a pale blue in color, not red as portrayed here.
In traditional Western European devotion, St. Elmo was one of the “Fourteen Holy Helpers,” a group of saints (which included St. Christopher) often invoked for particularly hazardous activities. Whatever the facts of his life, or even if he is to all intents and purposes a legendary figure, St. Elmo reminds us of God’s special concern for those in dangerous occupations and, in particular, “those in peril on the sea.”Gracious God, loving guardian of all your children: Remember those whose work puts them in particular danger, and especially those who labor and journey upon or beneath the waters. Protect them from harm and bring them and all of us in the end to that safe harbor which is the Eternal Reign of your Son, our Savior Jesus Christ, in whose name we pray. AMEN
St. Michael the Archangel
(Feast Day, September 29th)
References to angels appear with relative frequency in both the Hebrew and the Christian Scriptures. These powerful non-corporeal agents of God’s purpose, whose creation lies outside that of our own cosmos, are understood to serve upon occasion as divine messengers-“messenger” being the literal meaning of the Greek word angelos. Only four of them, however, are given specific names in the Bible.

SIGNED PRE-ORDER. BOOKS WILL SHIP ON ORDER BEFORE FEBRUARY 2022. Steve Hofstetter has been doing stand-up comedy almost twenty years. Without spoiling the end of the book for you, he hasn't died, he hasn't quit, and he hasn't become a household name. Instead, he has achieved a level of success somewhere in between. That success was built on a large amount of failure, and this book is the story of the roller coaster of Hofstetter's first six years as a stand-up comic.
OUT OF PRINT (2006) - Put Steve Hofstetter's Balls on your coffee table! "Basketball: At Least the Last Two Minutes Matter," "Football: The Longest GM Ad in History," and more. Packed with fresh insights into the foibles of professional sports, Balls! will rouse you out of your fantasy-sports coma with the Lampoon take on an American institution.
OUT OF PRINT (2004) - Student Body Shots is a series of books by Steve Hofstetter examining the ins and outs of college life. A witty, clever, and original look at campus, Student Body Shots does two things that no college guide can ever do - make you laugh, and tell the truth.
This shirt benefits the Martin Grant. The grant was named in honor of Steve Hofstetter's father, Martin. The grant will be awarded in order to aid a talented comedian with rent, car payments, or anything else that will help them focus on developing their art. A panel of some of the most influential television executives, comedy club owners, talent agents, and managers will view applications and eventually decide a winner.
With over 100 cities, the 2020 tour is the most personal, vulnerable, and hilarious Steve Hofstetter has ever been. Commemorate going to the tour with an official tour shirt. Or pretend you were there, we won't tell anyone. Tour cities are listed on the back.
When Martin Hofstetter died in 2014, his son Steve created the Martin Foundation in his name. The goal was to help up-and-coming comedians come up a bit quicker. The foundation provided grants to comedians to help with rent, car payments, and other bills so they could quit their day jobs and concentrate on their art full time. When COVID destroyed every comedian's ability to tour, the foundation changed the grant system - and was able to provide $1,000 grants to 30 comedians to help cover some of their expenses. In addition, the Social Distancing Social Club provided over $50,000 more in work for otherwise unemployed comedians. And now, Steel City AF takes that to a whole new level.
In 2017, Steve Hofstetter tried to fly from LA to Ottawa for a show. Instead, Air Canada stranded him in Toronto, and refused to refund the full cost of the flight because they had gotten him to Toronto after all. What a bunch of unreasonable dicks. Now, you can voice your disgust with Air Canada, too! Art is by Jason Urysty, and this idea was inspired by the guy behind the @FuckAirCanada twitter account. Love it when a community comes together. | [

Horizon Nuclear Power has welcomed the announcement that the UK ABWR has been approved for use in the UK, paving the way for the technology to be built at Horizon’s planned developments on the Isle of Anglesey and in Oldbury-on-Severn.
These projects will create tens of thousands of jobs and ultimately provide more than 5.4GW of clean, secure and affordable electricity, enough to power some 10 million homes.
Approval marks the conclusion of the Generic Design Assessment (GDA), a rigorous technology assessment by the UK regulators. This milestone has been achieved on time, thanks to the proven quality of the ABWR and the close collaboration of the Hitachi-GE, Horizon and GE-Hitachi team.
The Nuclear Industry Association (NIA) also welcomed the confirmation from the Office for Nuclear Regulation and the Environment Agency that they have approved Hitachi Nuclear Energy Europe’s UK ABWR reactor design. Tom Greatrex, Chief Executive of the Nuclear Industry Association, said:
“The design approval of the UK ABWR is good news for the UK’s new nuclear programme and signals the conclusion of a thorough, rigorous and detailed process by the UK’s independent regulators, widely acknowledged as world class.
“With two thirds of UK power stations closing between 2010 and 2030, this is an important step in providing secure, reliable and low carbon nuclear power for the future, to homes, businesses and public services.
“The nuclear sector already accounts for £400 million of Welsh GDP. Future projects will build on this, creating highly skilled jobs and further economic benefit to the communities in which it will be built.” | [

If you’re new to gardening, then courgettes are one of the easiest vegetables to grow.
Blackcurrants only fruit on younger shoots so make sure you prune your blackcurrant bush in winter to have plenty of berries for years to come.
If the divine sharpness of blackcurrants is just to your liking, growing these fruit bushes is definitely for you. Currants are relatively easy to grow and maintain, and they can produce bountiful crops year after year. However, like most fruit bushes and trees, you’ll have to pull out the secateurs now and then if you want to keep seeing those delectable and large harvests.
Prune blackcurrant From November till February
Blackcurrants should be pruned when they’re dormant. This occurs after fruiting, so you can prune your fruit bushes anytime from late autumn until January or February.
Pruning young blackcurrant plants
For the first four years of your blackcurrant’s life, you should attempt to remove weak and spindly shoots. Most blackcurrants are grown as a bush, and it’s best to keep a maximum of 10 main stems at any one time.
Identify 10 main stems that will produce fruit. All the rest you will have to cut off. So take each of the remaining shoots in your hand and follow them back to their base. Use sharp secateurs to remove the stems at soil level, using loppers for thicker pieces. Cut pruned stems into smaller pieces before composting.
Pruning established blackcurrant bushes
After the fourth year you’ll need to start cutting out old wood because blackcurrants only fruit on younger shoots. A pruning saw or a pair of loppers can be used to remove a third of the plant’s old wood at the base each winter, encouraging new wood to be grown. Any new and lopsided shoots or spindly stems can be removed, helping you to keep a bushy shape that will fruit consistently year after year. | [

The 489-pound tuna, used for sushi and sashimi, was auctioned off at the Tsukiji fish market in Toyko.
According to NBC, the best slices of the bluefin tuna can sell for as much as 2,000 yen ($24) per piece at upscale sushi bars in Tokya.
Kimura is the owner of the restaurant chain Sushi-Zanmai and plans to serve the expensive fish at his restaurants on Saturday.
The Kyodo News agency reports that Kimura stated that "the price was a bit high," but he "wanted to meet expectations of my customers who said they wanted to eat Japan’s best tuna again this year... With this good tuna, I hope to help cheer up Japan."
Although bluefin tuna can command big prices in sushi restaurants, Kimura plans to charge customers a more reasonable price of 398 yen per portion, or approximately $4.56 each.
That would be a loss for Kimura, but perhaps a savvy business move, bringing more customers in to his restaurants to get a bite of the giant bluefin tuna. | [

My dog was impossible to walk, he would choke himself on his leash and chase bikes and scooters. He mouthed, jumped on the counters, and would get too excited and jump on house guests. K and RJ took the time and patience to teach him how to dog right. We did a 4 week boarding bootcamp and he came back a whole different dog! We can communicate with each other now and it is a relief to have a calmer more focused dog. He loves to work and plays with my kids in a much safer way. He still goes back for overnights when I’m traveling. I know that he gets his energy burned and plays with other dogs with structure and reinforced expectations from his training. No worries that he’ll pick up bad habits or be in a puppy free-for-all. Not to mention the continued advice and support K and RJ have provided me, encouraging me along the way! So grateful I found Zenergy! | [

LOFAR can return simple time/frequency beam-formed data instead of, or combined with, interferometric data. Array beams are calculated from the data streams from one or more stations in order to produce time-series and dynamic spectra for high time and frequency resolution applications. Typical applications include pulsars and solar or planetary studies.
The minimum integration time is 5.12 μs. The maximum spectral channel width is the width of one sub-band (195.3125 kHz with the 200 MHz clock). Sub-bands may be split into a number of channels (allowed values: 1, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128 and 256), to provide higher spectral resolution. Increasing the spectral resolution comes with a corresponding increase in the minimum integration time: This is calculated by taking the inverse of the frequency resolution. For example, if 256 channels per sub-band are specified, the minimum integration time will increase to 0.0013s.
While raw data ingest is possible, data is normally processed using the pulsar pipeline or dynamic spectrum toolkit, detailed below. We suggest to at least use the pulsar pipeline to reduce the data to 8-bit to save disk space and download time. For most science cases, 8-bit data is sufficient.
In the current implementation, there are three Beam-Formed sub-modes:
1) The Coherent Stokes (CS) sub-mode produces a coherent sum of multiple stations (also known as a “tied-array” beam) by correcting for geometrical and instrumental delays. This produces a beam with restricted field-of-view, but with the full cumulative sensitivity of the combined stations.
This sub-mode is currently restricted to observations using only core stations; stations outside the core do not use the same clock and are not fully phased-up to the core stations.
The total number of simultaneous tied-array beams that can be formed is a function of the number of stations and number of subbands used: if using the 12 HBA sub-stations of the superterp and the full bandwidth of 162 subbands, up to 219 tied-array beams can be formed. This number reduces in proportion to the number of additional stations for the same bandwidth. If the bandwidth is reduced, the number of tied-array beams can be increased in proportion.
2) The Incoherent Stokes (IS) sub-mode produces an incoherent combination of the various station beams by summing the powers after correction for only the geometrical delay. This produces beams with the same field-of-view as a station beam, but results in a decrease in sensitivity compared to a coherently-added tied-array beam.
One such incoherent array beam can be formed for each of the specified station beams - i.e., if all the stations being summed split their recorded bandwidth across say 8 pointing directions, then 8 incoherent array beams can be formed from these.
All LOFAR stations, including the international stations, can be summed in this sub-mode.
3) The Fly’s Eye (FE) sub-mode records the individual station beams (one or more per station) without summing. This is useful for diagnostic comparisons of the stations and other applications where station data need to remain separate. In combination with the Complex Voltage sub-mode, Fly’s Eye can be used to record the separate station voltages as input for offline processing, but be aware that the data volumes for this are large and so the number of stations which can be included in such an observation is limited.
Note: Currently Cobalt cannot handle coherent/incoherent beams together with Fly's Eye. If Cobalt detects FE, it will only perform Fly's Eye and the files that are produced are the FE files, not the coherent or incoherent beams.
For the different modes explained above, polarizations can be selected:
Pulsar observations may be processed via the Known Pulsar Pipeline, as given in the following schematic and described in more detail by Stappers et al (2011). This uses standard pulsar analysis packages such as dspsr and presto.
The Beam-Formed data written by the Correlator are stored on the LOFAR offline processing cluster in the HDF5 format (Hierarchical Data Format). Several conversion tools have been developed to convert these data into other formats, e.g. PSRFITS, suitable for direct input into standard pulsar data reduction packages, such as PSRCHIVE, PRESTO, and SIGPROC.
Among other things, these reduction packages allow for RFI masking, dedispersion, and searching of the data for single pulses and periodic signals. The standard pulsar pipeline can produce for example a dynamic spectrum (8-bits PSRFITS), dedispersed timeseries (32 bits PREPDATA.dat file), prepfold summaries and / or dspsr archives (.AR) files.

We study axion-dilaton cosmologies derived from the low-energy string effective action. We present the classical homogeneous Friedmann-Robertson-Walker solutions and derive the semi-classical perturbation spectra in the dilaton, axion and moduli fields in the pre-Big Bang scenario. By constructing the unique S-duality invariant field perturbations for the axion and dilaton fields we derive S-duality invariant solutions, valid when the axion field is time-dependent as well as in a dilaton-vacuum cosmology. Whereas the dilaton and moduli fields have steep blue perturbation spectra (with spectral index ) we find that the axion spectrum depends upon the expansion rate of the internal dimensions () which allows scale-invariant () spectra. We note that for the metric is non-singular in the conformal frame in which the axion is minimally coupled.

The dramatic progress that has been claimed in understanding black holes in the context of string theory [1, 2] in the past year focuses attention upon the implications that strings might have for cosmology. The early universe provides a natural arena in which to seek observational evidence for string theory as a fundamental theory. General relativity describes all currently observed gravitational physics with remarkable accuracy, but its description of the very early universe is expected to break down near the Planck scale, and possibly at lower energies as well.
Most investigations of the cosmological consequences of string theory have focussed on the role of the dilaton field,, which provides a varying effective gravitational constant. In the absence of other matter, the low energy action leads to an effective theory of gravity of the form proposed by Brans and Dicke. Although the predicted value of the Brans-Dicke parameter is incompatible with present day post-Newtonian tests, it may be that loop corrections yield an experimentally acceptable general relativistic limit [6, 7], or that the dilaton’s present day value may be fixed by it acquiring a mass (for a detailed list of references see ).
The pre-Big Bang scenario is a specific example of a cosmological model based on string theory which differs radically from that predicted by general relativity because of the presence of the dilaton field. The weakly coupled, expanding, “pre-Big Bang” solutions have many similarities with conventional inflation models, most notably the approach to flatness and homogeneity on large scales by stretching the quantum vacuum state on small scales up to large (super-horizon) scales. Solutions derived from the low-energy effective action run into a “Big Bang” singularity [11, 12, 13] but the hope is that in the full string theory, including higher-order terms, the pre-Big Bang solution may be smoothly connected to a solution describing an expanding, “post-Big Bang” universe [14, 15] and, ultimately, general relativistic evolution.
Our intention in this paper is to draw attention to the crucial role that the antisymmetric tensor field,, may have in cosmological scenarios based on the low-energy limit of the superstring action. An antisymmetric tensor inevitably appears, along with the graviton and dilaton, in the Neveu-Schwarz bosonic sector of the low-energy string effective action,
where, and is Newton’s constant in -dimensions. Previous studies - have considered the classical evolution of the antisymmetric tensor field in simple cosmologies. The role of the additional tensor fields derived from the Ramond-Ramond sector of type IIA and type IIB string theory has recently been considered in [23, 25]. In this paper we calculate for the first time the spectrum of perturbations about the classical background field that may be produced due to vacuum fluctuations in the antisymmetric tensor field.
We will consider spacetimes which contain a four dimensional homogeneous and isotropic external metric. In four spacetime dimensions the antisymmetric tensor field has only one degree of freedom which may be represented by a pseudo-scalar axion field,. For a homogeneous and isotropic metric we must have a homogeneous axion field,. This has been referred to as the solitonic Anstaz due to the close connection with solitonic p-brane solutions. An alternative Ansatz, analogous to elementary p-brane solutions, taking the tensor potential to be time-dependent leads to an inhomogeneous axion field | [

The very first thing you notice in Justice League Snyder Cut is its TV Aspect Ratio 4:3 or 1.33:1 which is converted to 1.43:1 for IMax viewing. Since it is released on HBO Max which is like a replacement to our TV-set, keeping that aspect ratio makes sense. However, the 1.33:1 aspect ratio has more to offer in this 4-hour marathon movie. So, let’s dive in.
Note: Earlier, when Television is invented, the film and the longer of video (serials) have already begun filming in 1.33:1 (4:3) aspect ratio. Even now, some news channels maintain that ratio to keep the authenticity of TV.
Normally, a movie with superheroes, gigantic sets and big action maintains an aspect ratio of 1.7:1 or 1.85:1 or 2.39:1; there are some customized aspect ratios, all wider in length. The bigger the aspect ratio is the better to feel the grandness of the world or a war.
Storyline: As Superheroes bid farewell to Earth’s strongest superhero Superman, the world is expected to face a greater evil threat. Batman and Wonder Woman must work quickly to recruit a team to stand against the newly awakened enemy.
As you can determine, Justice League Snyder Cut is one of those movies and despite that Zack Snyder went for the 4:3 ratio. Why?
The answer is in its character and chapter-wise presentation. The new Justice League, which was previously released with the strange and the most incoherently cut after Zack Snyder took a break to attend a personal loss, is made more character-based film. It invests a good-enough time
- To introduce and develop characters like Cyborg, Aquaman, Flash and Steppenwolf; (In case you forgot, the Aquaman movie was not made until 2018 end and Cyborg’s back story, Flash big use and Steppenwolf’s motivation are completely misplaced or removed from the theatrical version)
- To tease characters like Darkseid, Commissioner Gordon, Dr. Raymon Palmer, Martian Manhunter and Iris West; (These characters are completely deleted from the theatrical version)
- To give much needed depth and to complete the arc of characters like Batman, Louis Lane and Superman; (these characters were given no goals or sentiments and reshoots are for uncharacteristic humour in the theatrical version)
The 4:3 aspect ratio makes a film experience a personal movie as small width removes the unnecessary footage around the single character; that asks the audience to focus on one character so that they empathise with them. The film is filled with many such single-characters journeys, it works for the entire film including the gigantic fight scene as the audience is already invested in the character’s life and their motivations.
I hope this explanation makes much sense and if you have any other view on the aspect ratio or on the movie do share in the comment or email. | [

A brand new instrument with its eye on the Moon is taking off aboard a high-altitude NASA aircraft to measure the Moon’s brightness and finally assist Earth observing sensors make extra correct measurements.
The airborne Lunar Spectral Irradiance Instrument (air-LUSI) is flying aboard NASA’s ER-2 airplane. The ER-2 is in a position to soar above clouds, about 70,000 toes above floor. The flights, which happen at night time to keep away from scattered gentle from the Solar, started November 13 and can wrap up November 17 from NASA’s Armstrong Flight Analysis Heart in Palmdale, California.
The NASA-funded instrument is “measuring how much sunlight is reflected by the Moon at various phases in order to accurately characterize it and expand how the Moon is used to calibrate Earth observing sensors,” mentioned Kevin Turpie, a professor on the College of Maryland, Baltimore County, main the air-LUSI effort. Turpie and his group are funded by NASA’s Earth Science Division and the Nationwide Institute of Requirements and Expertise (NIST).
How the Moon helps Earth sensors
Earth-observing sensors, just like the Seen Infrared Imaging Radiometric Suite (VIIRS) aboard the NASA/NOAA/DOD Suomi Nationwide Polar-orbiting Partnership satellite tv for pc and the NOAA-20 meteorological satellite tv for pc, acquire photographs of cloud cowl, land floor cowl, and ocean colour. Whereas these sensors are diligently doing their jobs, in addition they have to brace in opposition to high-energy particles and stand up to ultraviolet gentle, which degrade their sensors over time.
To account for any adjustments in sensitivity, VIIRS and different satellite tv for pc devices calibrate their sensors by taking a look at a identified reference and evaluating how the newest look compares to earlier ones. If the sensor sees the reference otherwise than earlier than, it is aware of it wants to recalibrate or alter its sensitivity.
At present, many devices carry an opaque or white materials, referred to as a diffuser, that displays daylight and acts as a reference for sensor calibration. Nonetheless, though the Solar offers a gradual output, its harsh rays degrade the diffuser over time. The Moon, alternatively, is a perfect diffuser since its reflectance of daylight is steady and extra related to Earth’s in brightness.
Scientists have lengthy identified in regards to the Moon’s potential. “Not long after the Apollo program, a group at the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) developed a way of characterizing the Moon so that Earth observing satellites could use it for calibration,” Turpie mentioned.
The USGS Robotic Lunar Observatory (ROLO) in Flagstaff, Arizona, measured the Moon on a month-to-month foundation from 1995 to 2003. Tom Stone, a scientist at USGS, together with Hugh Kieffer, a former scientist with USGS, developed a ROLO-based mannequin that has and continues to be used to assist calibrate Earth observing sensors in devices, like SeaWiFS, which operated from 1997 to 2010 and measured ocean colour to monitor phytoplankton. SeaWiFS regarded on the Moon frequently to observe any adjustments in its instrument’s sensitivity.
Though a variety of Earth observing mission calibration groups use ROLO, there will be giant discrepancies of their lunar calibration information, Stone mentioned. The hope is that air-LUSI’s extremely correct measurements will characterize these discrepancies and decide in the event that they’re brought on by inside biases within the ROLO mannequin or one thing else. “We can’t validate ROLO calibrations to any better than 5%,” Stone mentioned. “Air-LUSI can improve ROLO or determine what needs to be improved.”
Air-LUSI’s novel devices are in a position to acquire extremely correct lunar spectral irradiance measurements that can have the bottom ever uncertainty (lower than 1%), Turpie mentioned, which establishes the Moon as an absolute calibration reference and helps distant sensing scientists decide if Earth observing sensors, like VIIRS, are recording precise adjustments on Earth or adjustments of their devices.
Though Earth observing missions can take a look at the Moon on the similar time and part each month as a method to discover traits of their devices’ sensitivity, they haven’t but been in a position to use the Moon as an absolute calibration reference, Kurt Thome, a undertaking scientist for Earth observing missions at NASA’s Goddard House Flight Heart in Greenbelt, Maryland, mentioned.
What does it imply to be an absolute calibration reference? In case you evaluate two individuals standing subsequent to one another, it’s simple to see which particular person is taller. Nonetheless, if these two individuals are at reverse ends of the world, the one method to evaluate their heights can be with an absolute reference, like a ruler. Air-LUSI | [

Drug addiction represents a significant public health concern that has high rates of relapse despite optimal medical therapy and rehabilitation support. New therapies are needed, and deep brain stimulation (DBS) may be an effective treatment. The past 15 years have seen numerous animal DBS studies for addiction to various drugs of abuse, with most reporting decreases in drug-seeking behavior with stimulation. The most common target for stimulation has been the nucleus accumbens, a key structure in the mesolimbic reward pathway. In addiction, the mesolimbic reward pathway undergoes a series of neuroplastic changes. Chief among them is a relative hypofunctioning of the prefrontal cortex, which is thought to lead to the diminished impulse control that is characteristic of drug addiction. The prefrontal cortex, as well as other targets involved in drug addiction such as the lateral habenula, hypothalamus, insula, and subthalamic nucleus have also been stimulated in animals, with encouraging results. Although animal studies have largely shown promising results, current DBS studies for drug addiction primarily use stimulation during active drug use. More data are needed on the effect of DBS during withdrawal in preventing future relapse. The published human experience for DBS for drug addiction is currently limited to several promising case series or case reports that are not controlled. Further animal and human work is needed to determine what role DBS can play in the treatment of drug addiction.

Parasellar meningiomas tend to invade the suprasellar, cavernous sinus, and petroclival regions, encroaching on adjacent neurovascular structures. As such, they prove difficult to safely and completely resect. Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) has played a central role in the treatment of parasellar meningiomas. Evaluation of tumor control rates at this location using simplified single-dimension measurements may prove misleading. The authors report the influence of SRS treatment parameters and the timing and volumetric changes of benign WHO Grade I parasellar meningiomas after SRS on long-term outcome.
Patients with WHO Grade I parasellar meningiomas treated with single-session SRS and a minimum of 6 months of follow-up were selected. A total of 189 patients (22.2% males, n = 42) form the cohort. The median patient age was 54 years (range 19–88 years). SRS was performed as a primary upfront treatment for 44.4% (n = 84) of patients. Most (41.8%, n = 79) patients had undergone 1 resection prior to SRS. The median tumor volume at the time of SRS was 5.6 cm3 (0.2–54.8 cm3). The median margin dose was 14 Gy (range 5–35 Gy). The volumes of the parasellar meningioma were determined on follow-up scans, computed by segmenting the meningioma on a slice-by-slice basis with numerical integration using the trapezoidal rule.
The median follow-up was 71 months (range 6–298 months). Tumor volume control was achieved in 91.5% (n = 173). Tumor progression was documented in 8.5% (n = 16), equally divided among infield recurrences (4.2%, n = 8) and out-of-field recurrences (4.2%, n = 8). Post-SRS, new or worsening CN deficits were observed in 54 instances, of which 19 involved trigeminal nerve dysfunction and were 18 related to optic nerve dysfunction. Of these, 90.7% (n = 49) were due to tumor progression and only 9.3% (n = 5) were attributable to SRS. Overall, this translates to a 2.64% (n = 5/189) incidence of direct SRS-related complications. These patients were treated with repeat SRS (6.3%, n = 12), repeat resection (2.1%, n = 4), or both (3.2%, n = 6). For patients treated with a margin dose ≥ 16 Gy, the 2-, 4-, 6-, 8-, 10-, 12-, and 15-year actuarial progression-free survival rates are 100%, 100%, 95.7%, 95.7%, 95.7%, 95.7%, and 95.7%, respectively. Patients treated with a margin dose < 16 Gy, had 2-, 4-, 6-, 8-, 10-, 12-, and 15-year actuarial progression-free survival rates of 99.4%, 97.7%, 95.1%, 88.1%, 82.1%, 79.4%, and 79.4%, respectively. This difference was deemed statistically significant (p = 0.043). Reviewing the volumetric patient-specific measurements, the early follow | [

Like Cuthbert Goes Digging, Bonka is a clone of Space Panic. With a constantly falling oxygen supply, you must climb the platform and eliminate the electrocuting Meanies. Hack a hole in the ground for the Meanie to fall into, then hack a hole in the meanies, or rather, hack them through the hole so they fall down and die. The game is customisable with four different speeds and between one and nine Meanies on-screen

Kairos Power is a U.S.-based, clean energy engineering company developing the high-temperature, fluoride salt-cooled reactor (KP-FHR). Kairos Power’s mission is to enable the world’s transition to clean energy, with the ultimate goal of dramatically improving people’s quality of life while protecting the environment.
Emerging from a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) sponsored integrated research project approximately four years ago, Kairos Power is working in several locations throughout the U.S. to commercialize the KP-FHR design. The company is privately funded, singularly focused, and fully committed to design, license, and demonstrate this technology through an iterative development and demonstration program. The schedule is to deploy a commercial reactor before 2030, with a significant ramp-up in deployment shortly thereafter.
While relatively young in the context of traditional nuclear development, Kairos Power’s iterative approach and strong emphasis on early engagement with the regulator have yielded significant experience and tangible licensing results early in the project lifecycle. Kairos Power’s near-term focus is on U.S. licensing and deployment, but the lessons learned through KP-FHR development, testing, and licensing experience are also valuable under different regulatory regimes.
Vice President, Regulatory Affairs and Quality
Director, Fuels & Materials
Kairos Power’s technology is based on the use of robust TRi-structural ISOtropic (TRISO) particle fuel, molten salt coolant (Flibe), and a low-pressure system, resulting in a substantial increase in margins of safety as compared to existing light-water reactors (LWRs), which are already among the safest form of energy production.
The combination of TRISO and Flibe results in a functional containment approach that, along with a low-pressure primary system, limits the potential for radionuclide release during postulated accidents such that a large, pressure-retaining containment structure is not necessary.
A TRISO particle is comprised of a uranium, carbon, and oxygen fuel kernel, encapsulated by multiple layers of carbon- and ceramic-based materials that prevent the release of radioactive fission products. These particles have been demonstrated not to fail at temperatures that far exceed normal operating and postulated accident conditions. The particles are fabricated into golf-ball-sized spheres called “pebbles” that are circulated through the reactor.
KP-FHR coolant is a molten salt made from a mixture of lithium fluoride (LiF) and beryllium fluoride (BeF2), referred to as Flibe. Flibe has a very high heat capacity, maintains single phase at KP-FHR operating temperatures, and has a strong affinity for radionuclides.
Kairos Power’s overall regulatory strategy is informed by the existing U.S. regulatory framework, a long history of implementation of LWR regulations and guidance, the company’s approach to iterative development and, most importantly, the substantial increases in safety margins of the KP-FHR design compared to existing designs. The initial KP-FHR licensing approach is the two-step process under Part 50 of Title 10 of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR 50); step one: an initial construction permit is followed by step two: an operating license.
Subsequent deployments likely will take advantage of the “one-step” process for a combined construction permit and operating license under 10 CFR 52. (A new, risk-informed regulation, 10 CFR 53, is under development by the NRC staff, and may impact this planned approach.)
The two-step approach offers several benefits for initial deployment. It enables an earlier start of construction by authorizing construction earlier in the licensing process. Additionally, the design iterations that correspond to the two-step process fit Kairos Power’s approach to iterative development. And the two-step process avoids some of the pitfalls observed in 10 CFR 52 implementation for first-of-a-kind designs.
Another critical aspect of Kairos Power’s regulatory strategy is very active pre-application engagement with the regulator. Over the past several years, pre-application engagement, while optional, has been broadly touted as essential to establish an efficient review of the license application itself. One primary benefit of such engagement is to familiarize the regulator with a design and to identify and address issues where knowledge gaps may exist.
Kairos Power also is taking maximum advantage of substantial discussions with the regulator to “front load” the engagement with early review of substantive topics to reduce programmatic risk. At this writing, Kairos Power has submitted over 20 technical or topical reports or revisions and has received formal approval by the regulator on a number of these submittals.
Kairos Power’s approach also meshes well with ongoing efforts to update the U.S. regulatory framework to support non-LWR licensing. These include creating guidance to support a risk-informed safety case (in lieu of deterministic safety bases underlying current L | [

Ranitidine is in a group of drugs called histamine-2 blockers. Ranitidine works by reducing the amount of acid your stomach produces. In this multicenter trial, significantly more patients treated with Zantac became pain free during therapy. Patients should be instructed to contact their healthcare provider if symptoms do not improve or worsen during treatment. endep opening times
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is near the time of the next dose, skip themissed dose and resume your usual dosing schedule. This test involves inserting a long, flexible, lighted tube with a camera down your throat. First, the doctor will spray the back of your throat with anesthetic and give you a sedative to make you more comfortable. Hypoaesthesia; paraesthesia in children and adolescents; sensory disturbances; tics.
Hold the baby upright for 30 minutes after a feeding. It may seem alarming to you, but it's a common problem in newborns, and it's usually harmless. Sometimes it goes away on its own, or your doctor may suggest light therapy or other treatments to knock it out. Try solid food with your doctor's approval.
Strattera. There was no evidence of symptom rebound or adverse reactions suggesting a drug-discontinuation or withdrawal syndrome. Measure liquid medicine with the dosing syringe provided, or with a special dose-measuring spoon or medicine cup. If you do not have a dose-measuring device, ask your pharmacist for one. Clearance and volume of distribution after adjustment for body weight were also similar. Severe allergic reactions rash; hives; itching; difficulty breathing; tightness in the chest; swelling of the mouth, face, lips, or tongue; unusual hoarseness; change in the amount of urine produced; confusion; dark urine; depression; fast, slow, or irregular heartbeat; fever, chills, or sore throat; hallucinations; severe or persistent headache or stomach pain; unusual bruising or bleeding; yellowing of the eyes or skin.
Some medicines can interact with Nizoral and should not be used at the same time. Certain drug interactions can cause life-threatening irregular heartbeats. Your doctor may suggest antacids for occasional heartburn. Sometimes, more potent medications may be needed, especially for persistent symptoms. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is near the time of the next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your usual dosing schedule. Jaundice happens when too much bilirubin -- a chemical that red release during their normal breakdown process -- builds up in the blood. Duffy joins Boustani in warning that nobody should take any medication frequently -- even over-the-counter medicines -- without consulting a doctor.
You may not even show signs of the disease at all. What are possible side effects of Strattera? Do not take missed dose if less than 12 hours until the next dose. After this initial treatment, phlebotomies are needed less frequently. The frequency varies based on individual circumstances. Stop using ranitidine and get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat. For a Combined Type diagnosis, both inattentive and hyperactive-impulsive criteria must be met. This liquid product may contain alcohol. Hyperactivity Disorder ADHD. Pooled analyses of short-term 6 to 18 weeks placebo-controlled trials of Strattera in children and adolescents have revealed a greater risk of suicidal ideation early during treatment in those receiving Strattera. There were a total of 12 trials 11 in ADHD and 1 in enuresis involving over 2200 patients including 1357 patients receiving Strattera and 851 receiving placebo. General: 1. Symptomatic response to therapy with Zantac does not preclude the presence of gastric malignancy. 2. Since Zantac is excreted primarily by the kidney, dosage should be adjusted in patients with impaired renal function see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION. Caution should be observed in patients with hepatic dysfunction since Zantac is metabolized in the liver. 3. Rare reports suggest that Zantac may precipitate acute porphyric attacks in patients with acute porphyria. Zantac should therefore be avoided in patients with a history of acute porphyria. Patients should be instructed to consult a physician if they are nursing, pregnant, or thinking of becoming pregnant while taking Strattera. Take this medication regularly in order to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, take it at the same times each day. Do not increase your dose or take it more often than prescribed. Do not stop taking this medication without your doctor's approval because this may delay healing of the ulcer. Feed your baby smaller amounts of food more often.

American Pie outstrips domestic gross overseas
The high-school comedy American Pie which recently passed the $100m mark at the international box office has now scored more overseas than at the domestic box office. The $11m Universal title has become one of the studio's most profitable films after taking $102.5m at the North American box office since its July release last year. However, Summit Entertainment, which bought rights for all non-English language speaking territories, has proved that the US-born "gross-out" style...

French Renaissance Writer, Michel de Montaigne
“Sits he on ever so high a throne, a man still sits on his bottom This quotation gives an insight into to the often irreverent and farcical approach French Renaissance writer, Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592), had regarding how we view ourselves.
Montaigne, being a nobleman, lawyer, friend of the King of France, and twice mayor of Bordeaux would seem an unlikely candidate for giving practical advice on everyday matters; however, after having read many books on philosophy and encountering people who feared most for things surrounding self-esteem he noticed a distinct lack of talk about some of the lesser aspects of the human experience, he felt addressing the lesser aspects would alleviate much of the tension people had regarding self-esteem.
Consequently, he made it his sole purpose in life to bring up every little facet of life in his writing, even going so far as to provide anecdotes about his eating habits, time spent in the washroom, and the size of his phallus. What Montaigne’s famous essays amounted to was a very necessary boost in self-esteem for his readers during the Renaissance and even for his readers now so they may more freely pursue happiness.
His work challenged our all too serious outlook on ourselves, providing an important contribution to a newfound age of thought in history, an age of reason. He addressed three key ways that people feel inadequate: discomfort with their bodies, unease at being judged, and feeling intellectually inferior. To start off, Montaigne addressed the very first thing someone could have issue with, and that is being ashamed of one’s own body.
Montaigne met several people who allowed a sense of inadequacy surrounding their body get out of hand, among them was a man who killed himself after letting out a cacophony of farts at a banquet, a woman who was so embarrassed by chewing on food in public she hid behind curtains to eat and a man who requested that he be buried in his underwear for fear that anyone should ever see his penis. He knew what the problem was: the body was so rarely mentioned in private company, let alone philosophy books. He urged us to accept that we are half animal and quite eloquently stated that “we all shit: even ladies, kings and queens.
Through putting animals at the heart of his philosophy he found that much of the way animals interact is something to be aspired to. He thought of them as being, in some ways, far wiser in humans in that they are much more natural with their bodies and don’t overcomplicate things. In the end, his thoughts on bodily inadequacy help us grow more acceptable to ourselves, causing us to regard our bodies with good grace and a touch of humor. Second to bodily inadequacy, Montaigne found that people feel most uneasy at being judged. During Montaigne’s time was Spain’s colonization of America and their brutal slaughter of Native Americans.
Montaigne found himself being one of very few people offended by the acts of violence which caused him to come to a conclusion about judgment. In a word what Montaigne would have us do is to “go traveling. He proposed that through an acknowledgment of cultural diversity we can loosen the grip of prejudice of all kinds. He did not suggest any one society is better or worse than another, rather he was trying to enlighten us on the fact that we do not go judging the right way: cultures glorify what is “normal and either do not realize that normality is relative and not absolute or they do not allow themselves to think that way. | [

Manchester Cathedral will be the first cathedral in England to be heated by ground source heat pumps. Contractors will move in just after Easter to install a new green heating scheme under the floor of the nave. The new ground source heat pumps will use natural energy stored in the earth to heat and cool the cathedral, making it one of the greenest in the UK. Activities that usually take place in the nave area of the Cathedral will transfer to a wooden ‘Cathedral on the Street’ which is being specially constructed on the west front of the Cathedral. Some services will transfer to St Ann’s Church and other nearby churches in the diocese.
The current under-floor heating system dates from the post-war rebuilding of the 1950s. In the last 5 years the Cathedral floor has been flooded three times by broken heating pipes and the efficiency of the heating has been poor.
The Very Reverend Rogers Govender, Dean of Manchester said “Levels of heat are very important for both visitors and worshippers alike. The recent extremely cold winters have embarrassed the Cathedral as temperatures were unacceptably low. We’re incredibly pleased that we can carry out this work in a sustainable and responsible way, ensuring the Cathedral is fit for future”.
The new ground source heat pumps which will provide the Cathedral with 80% of its heat requirement, making Manchester Cathedral one of the greenest cathedrals in the UK. There will be gas boilers to top up the heating when it is exceptionally cold. The project necessitates the replacement of all the flooring to the Nave, Quire aisles and Regimental, Fraser and Lady Chapels. The new floor finish will be Burlington limestone laid on a lime screed containing the heating pipes which in turn is laid on insulation and a new concrete slab. The woodblock finishes to the Regimental and Fraser chapels will be lifted and re-laid.
Work to erect the temporary structure – ‘the Cathedral on the Street’ – on Victoria Street is well underway. The Cathedral’s Sunday morning services will be held here, together with other major services and events. The work on the heating and floor is due to be completed in November, allowing the Cathedral congregations to return to the Cathedral for Advent and Christmas. | [

Chronic pain and its impact on day-to-day life can be debilitating.
The mental effects of chronic pain are just as disruptive to the daily life of a sufferer as the physical pain itself.
Don’t suffer in silence and think that having chronic pain means that you just have to “put up with it”.
Our team of counsellors, therapists and Pain Psychologists provide counselling in Newcastle (and through online counselling) so you can reduce the psychological effects of chronic pain, as well as also learn ways of managing the physical side.
Some of the problems that can come with pain include:
It has been reported that people who suffer from chronic pain are three times more likely to suffer from depression.
Genetics might play a part in develop depression but it is possible to have no family history present but still develop the condition when experiencing chronic pain.
Depression is a reaction to misery and lack of being able to fully engage in life. It also comes about from feeling stuck and powerless – when your pain is chronic, you might feel hopeless because you feel out of control of it.
The most obvious reason for the link between depression and pain is that experiencing chronic pain means you are highly likely to withdraw from your previous pleasurable activities, and understandably be experiencing your pain whatever you are doing.
If you find yourselffocusing on your pain at the cost of not engaging with pleasurable or meaningful activity, it is likely that pain counselling in Newcastle will help you to deal with symptoms of depression relating to your chronic illness.
Individuals who experience chronic pain may develop anxiety because their body is signalling to their brain a sense of threat, and even vulnerability.
Pain stressors in our body signal to our brain that something might be a threat to our survival, triggering a ‘fight or flight’ response. Quite often, people get stuck in this stress state which leads to a cycle of worry, pain, and anxiety.
There are a number of therapies that can help with chronic pain and illness however.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for chronic pain is one of the newer approachesthat can help manage the anxiety brought about from chronic pain because it is a form of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy that forces you to think about the way you think.
ACT and CBT as therapies in themselves (whether face-to-face or through online therapy) have also been shown to help reduce the sensation of pain.
Adults function best when they get sufficient good quality sleep each night to function at their best mentally and physically.
Chronic pain often impacts your ability to relax, fall asleep and stay asleep. As this is a repeated action, it is common for it to develop into insomnia.
Unfortunately, any existing mental health problems will only worsen when insomnia is present due to the impact on your ability to cope with the symptoms.
Newcastle Psychologist & Counsellingspecialise in insomnia focused therapies (including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia – CBT-I and ACT for insomnia), which have been shown to be effective even in those with ongoing pain.

With the most recent industry downturn still fresh in many minds, the oil and gas E&P sector is approaching this recovery with a commitment to long-term cost discipline. As a result, augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) technologies are being adopted by operators and service companies alike as a means of cost savings while driving operational efficiency.
AR technologies employ enhanced visualization hardware, techniques, and methodologies to create new environments wherein digital and physical objects and their data coexist and interact with one another, enhancing the user experience of the real world (
Until recently, these technologies were primarily applied as enhanced entertainment products, most notably within the gaming industry. However, during the past several years, and thanks to the introduction of hands-free, head-mounted display (HMD) technologies, such as Microsoft® HoloLens™ and now HoloLens 2, AR and VR are migrating into the enterprise sector.
While the oil field has not been as quick to integrate AR and VR as other sectors, such as medicine, defense, and aeronautics, operators and service providers alike have increased adoption overthe past 12 months. Motivated by a mandate to keep operating costs low and improve efficiencies in terms of field processes, operators have begun implementing AR/VR applications as collaborative problem-solving, planning, and design tools.
For example, some operators are initiating ARconcepts to promote internal use development and prototyping for both oilfield applications and remote refinery inspections. Additionally, service companies are embracing the use of smart glasses and wearable technologies to help improve remote work and collaboration to help increase in-field safety and reduce downtime.
As part of its strategy to help drive the oil and gas industry's digital transformation, one major service provider is developing AR/VR applications to create digital representations of physical oilfield assets on the Microsoft® HoloLens device. One area of focus is the planning, design, and deployment of solids control, fluid separation, and handling technologies for offshore drilling applications.
Several mature fields in the North Sea experience significant challenges relating to high pressures and temperatures accompanied with the infill drilling challenge of very narrow margins between pore and fracture pressures. To navigate these narrow mud weight windows, it is critical to understand the bottom hole pressure. However, in the cases of fractured formations above the target zones, severe losses can be encountered during drilling and cementing operations often leading to the inability to maintain a full mud column at all times and even threaten the ability to reach TD.
The operator therefore decided to investigate the use of a new acoustic telemetry system that could provide internal and external pressure measurements, (along with other downhole measurements) independently of traditional mud pulse telemetry in the drilling assembly. Real-time distributed pressure data essential to understanding the downhole conditions could therefore be provided regardless of circulation, even under severe losses or during tripping and cementing operations.
This acoustic telemetry network was deployed on several wells through multiple hole sizes and including losses management, liner running and cementing operations.
The initial primary purpose of running the network was the ability to monitor the top of the mud at all times, even in significant loss situations. As real-time data was acquired it became apparent that the data could also be used in real-time to aid and help quantify the actual downhole pressures. The use of this downhole data was modified and new calculations designed for simpler visualization of equivalent circulating densities at the shoe, bit and identified weak zones in the well at depths beyond the acoustic tools themselves. This data was used to manage the bottom hole pressure within a 300 psi mud weight window to ultimately enable the well to be delivered to planned TD.
The tool and calculations helped verify managed pressure connections and subsequent pump ramp up and down operations to minimize pressure fluctuations in the well. Additionally the data was used during dynamic formation integrity testing and to measure and calculate ECD at various positions along the drillstring and casing when downhole PWD measurements were unavailable.
This paper will describe how the implementation of new technology through the downhole acoustic network was deployed and the lessons learned in how the real-time data was used, changed and adapted in this particular well. Due to this deployment the acoustic telemetry network will now be used on upcoming equally challenging wells and its range of operations expanded to include drilling, tripping and liner cementing operations.

Different logging operations can suffer from presence of metallic particles in the drilling fluids. Directional drilling in Arctic areas can be a challenge because of magnetic contamination in the drilling fluid. This is a challenge especially when drilling east-west relative to the magnetic north direction. | [

A revolutionary hybrid electric/combustion aircraft engine is being developed by Austria’s ScaleWings Group, best known for its Mustang Replica SW-51.
Not only is the engine a hybrid, but it’s claimed to offer the ultimate redundancy in case of component failure.
Hans Schwöller, mastermind and managing director of the ScaleWings group, explains his ‘secret recipe’:
“The ground-breaking concept of the multiple-redundant aircraft engine consists, in its standard configuration, of three interlocking engines of which two work on the basis of efficient two-cylinder 4-stroke injection engines.
“The third drive in the form of a high-performance, state of the art electric motor, delivers enormous additional performance, as required, or can also be used for noise protection for accelerating, take-off and climbing to cruising altitude.
“The special aircraft engine integrates in the standard design three completely independently functioning drive units in ONE engine block. Should a module fail, flight can continue unhindered with the two remaining components.
“It is irrelevant if the oil or water cooling system fails or important engine components such as engine control, injection, ignition, crankshaft, connecting rods or valves fail. The drive even continues to work if engine components become fully blocked. Flight can even continue with just one single functioning module.”
The Scalewings engine exists as a concept as the moment and development work to produce it will starts next year and is expected to take three years.
“Over the past years, the concept has been progressively refined and secured by several patent registrations,” said Schwöller.
The company has gone down the route of hybrid because it believes battery technology, and the overall system required for an all-electric aircraft is just too heavy.
“According to realistic assessments, no technology is developed to such an extent that it could give rise to expectations of a great leap forward in electrical aviation in the near future,” says Schwöller.
“The actual achievable ranges in an aircraft equipped with an electric drive are extremely limited in the foreseeable future.
“Compromises are made in regard to safety in order to be able to demonstrate that it works in any way at all.
“The extremely ambitious flight times published for electric aircraft attract both, media and public attention, but do not consider that the minimum reserve of 30 minutes flight time must be deducted from these values.
“Furthermore, the ranges given are only provided with minimum speeds and low loads. Yet this is a far away from real flight conditions.”
Schwöller intends the Scalewings hybrid engine to consist of modules which can be added together for more power:
- 2 x 2 cylinder naturally aspirated engine with 180hp (132kW)
- Electric engine unit with 58kW plus 2 x 2-cylinder naturally aspirated engine = 260hp (190kW)
- 2 x 2-cylinder turbo engine + electric engine unit = 350hp (257kW).
What’s next? Well, Schwöller says, “The SW-51 Mustang was completely redeveloped over the past 14 months on the certification basis for engine aircraft CS-23. By mid-2019, production of the SW-51 Mustang should have ramped up to the full capacity.
“The start of engine development is planned for mid-2019, as soon as the required manpower is available.” | [

Seth Shostak, at the SETI Institute, has an interesting online article criticizing ID here. His main charge is that ID has no business looking to SETI for support. Why? Because whereas ID looks for complexity in biology to detect design, SETI in fact looks for very simple signals to detect design, namely, radio signals with narrow bandwidth transmissions (not long, complex sequences of prime numbers as in Carl Sagan’s novel Contact).
But in fact, my criterion for design detection applies to the very signals that Shostak’s SETI Institute is looking for. Yes, as narrow bandwidth transmissions, the signals are simple to describe. But they are difficult for purely material processes to reproduce by chance. So we have simplicity of description combined with complexity in the sense of improbability of the outcome. That’s specified complexity and that’s my criterion for detecting design. It’s the same reason we detect design in the 1×4×9 monolith in 2001, A Space Odyssey. The structure is easily described; yet it is hard for natural processes to produce such rectangular solids by purely undirected material forces.
Moreover, as a good friend and colleague has pointed out to me, Drake and Sagan weren’t thinking merely in terms of narrowband transmissions in 1974 when they sent a message in the direction of the globular cluster M13. See the graphic at the top of the following page: http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaveral/8505/SETI.htm. This example also illustrates how a designer can communicate details about oneself.
I was on Shostak’s radio program a few years back debating Massimo Pigliucci. Perhaps he should have me back. I’ll recommend that he expand SETI to include SEXCI (the search for extra-cosmic intelligence). | [

This year, around March, I found myself with a lot of extra reading time on my hands (the strangest thing). As we bring the 2020 chapter to a close, I’m reflecting on what I’ve read this year. More importantly, I’m reflecting on the books that brought me the most joy, provided the most clarity, and lent the greatest support in a year that has been lackluster, unclear, and unyielding. These are the 10 books that got me through 2020:
10. The Feminine Mystique by Betty Friedan
Synopsis: Friedan’s revolutionary work discusses “the problem that has no name” — the unhappiness of housewives in the 1950s and 1960s. Friedan explores the plight of women feeling unfulfilled and depressed despite living in comfort and security with their husbands and children. In particular, Friedan critiques marketing that targets women, women’s education systems, and the media that women are encouraged to consume. The Feminine Mystique alleges that the narrow options available to women have cost them their identity, during this time.
Why you should read it: The Feminine Mystique is, quite simply, an essential text. Essential for women, essential for any feminist, and essential for anyone that seeks to understand and push for change in culture. This one may not have a strong 2020 connection, but you absolutely shouldn’t skip it.
9. The Book of Night Women by Marlon James
Synopsis: Lilith is born into slavery on a Jamaican sugar plantation at the end of the eighteenth century. From her birth, she is known to possess a dark power that is simultaneously revered and feared. As she grows, Lilith is enlisted in a conspiracy — the women on the plantation are orchestrating a slave revolt. While she supports the movement, Lilith’s life is complicated by her own family history, desires, and thoughts — which makes her a liability.
Why you should read it: This book is rich and weighted. In subject matter, in themes, and in authenticity. Jamaican author Marlon James weaves a compelling and complex tale that leaves the reader constantly questioning and reassessing just as Lilith does. It’s a story grounded in a difficult and brutal history that pairs well with the context and conversation of the current moment. One of the most beautiful novels I’ve ever read.
8. The Financial Diet: A Total Beginner’s Guide to Getting Good with Money by Chelsea Fagan and Lauren Hage
Synopsis: In association with the popular personal finance blog by the same name and described as “the personal finance book for people that don’t care about personal finance,” The Financial Diet is a comprehensive and practical guide to contemporary money matters. The book offers advice on getting through an overspending detox, managing debt, and learning to live on an entry-level salary. The Financial Diet applies smart money decisions to the traditional arenas like investments and discussing finances, but also injects practical sensibilities into everything from cooking on a budget to home decor and maintenance.
Why you should read it: I’ve been a reader (and occasional contributor) of The Financial Diet for several years. In any year, I’d recommend the book and blog as a great resource for young people looking to make smarter money choices. However, 2020 presented a unique set of circumstances and an upset of our overall security. In this year, especially, there’s a lot to be gained from simplicity, financial planning, and learning to budget well (and still live well).
7. Gods of Jade and Shadow by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
Synopsis: In the midst of the Jazz Age in 1920s Mexico, Casiopeia Tun yearns for a life of excitement beyond the confines of her grandfather’s house and the small town she lives in. One day, she discovers a wooden box in her grandfather’s rooms and accidentally frees the spirit of the Mayan god of death. He enlists her help in restoring him to his throne and Casiopeia journies with the alluring and powerful deity from the jungles of the Yucatan to the bright lights of Mexico City… even into a strange world totally separate from our own.
Why you should read it: Yes, Silvia Moreno-Garcia makes this list twice! She’s that good. Similar to Mexican Gothic, Gods of Jade and Shadow is a vivid and captivating exploration of its settings, the 1920s and Mexico. Moreno-Garcia’s instinct for romance and adventure are positively delightful and a joy to read, and both are used with excellent effect in the novel. What I appreciate especially for Gods of Jade and Shadow is how this novel really digs deep into Mexican folklore. It’s a deeper cultural study that makes for an excellent introduction to the lore, for readers that are unfamiliar.

PointsBet has listed the Sixers with odds of +1200 ($10 bet to win $120) to win next season’s title.
Those numbers are seventh best in the league with the Brooklyn Nets as the favorites at +250, followed by the Lakers (+650) and the newly-crowned champion Bucks (+800).
The Sixers’ 12-1 odds are lower than right before this past season tipped off, when they were listed at 20-1.
Factor in Sixers president of basketball operations Daryl Morey at the helm for his second offseason and you can’t rule out that the team will improve by October. | [

High Pressure Intercooled Turbine Engine Concept 881204
A study was conducted to assess the feasibility of an advanced technology High Pressure Intercooled Turbine (HIPIT) engine for prime propulsion applications. A cycle performance analysis was conducted for a hypothetical HIPIT gas turbine sized to deliver 1000 hp output with and without a reheat combustor. Selection of candidate designs with an overall compressor pressure ratio of 41.7 were predicted to have respective specific fuel consumptions of 0.358, and 0.434 lb/hp.hr with corresponding weights of 503 lb., and 374 lb.
Three conceptual HIPIT engine preliminary mechanical design configurations were studied, and part load performance characteristics of the HIPIT are also presented.
As a result of the high pressure ratio, reheating was predicted to provide a power boost of 35%, ideal for emergency power demands. | [

Closing the Gap Between Mammalian and Invertebrate Peripheral Nerve Injury: a Novel Nerve Repair Protocol
Outcomes after peripheral nerve injuries are poor despite current nerve repair techniques. Currently, there is no conclusive evidence that mammalian axons are capable of spontaneous fusion after transection. Notably, certain invertebrate species have the ability to auto-fuse after transection. Although mammalian axonal auto-fusion has not been observed experimentally, no mammalian study to date has demonstrated regenerating axolemmal membranes contacting intact distal segment axolemmal membranes to determine whether mammalian peripheral nerve axons have the intrinsic mechanisms necessary to auto-fuse after transection.
This study aims to assess fusion competence between regenerating axons and intact distal segment axons by enhancing axon regeneration, delaying Wallerian Degeneration, limiting the immune response, and preventing myelin obstruction.
This study will use a rat sciatic nerve model to evaluate the effects of a novel peripheral nerve repair protocol on behavioral, electrophysiologic, and morphologic parameters. This protocol consists of a variety of pre-, intra-, and post- operative interventions. Fusion will be assessed with electrophysiological conduction of action potentials across the repaired transection site. Axon-axon contact will be assessed with transmission electron microscopy. Behavioral recovery will be analyzed with the sciatic functional index. A total of 36 rats will be used for this study. The experimental group will use 24 rats and the negative control group will use 12 rats. For both the experimental and negative control groups, there will be a behavior group and another group that will undergo electrophysiological and morphological analysis. The primary endpoint will be the presence or absence of action potentials across the lesion site. Secondary endpoints will include behavioral recovery with the sciatic functional index and morphological analysis of axon-axon contact between regenerating axons and intact distal segment axons.
We are in the process of grant funding and IRB approval as of March 2020. The final follow-up will be completed by December 2021.
In this study, the efficacy of the proposed novel peripheral nerve repair protocol will be evaluated using behavioral and electrophysiologic parameters. The author believes this study will provide information regarding whether spontaneous axon fusion is possible in mammals under the proper conditions. This information could potentially be translated to clinical trials if successful in an effort to improve outcomes after peripheral nerve injury.

Postprint version. Published in Fisheries Research, Volume 144, July 1, 2013, pages 28-37.
The definitive version is available at https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fishres.2012.10.007.
The efficacy of no-take marine reserves (NTMRs) to enhance and sustain regional coral reef fisheries was assessed in Dry Tortugas, Florida, through 9 annual fishery-independent research surveys spanning 2 years before and 10 years after NTMR implementation. A probabilistic sampling design produced precise estimates of population metrics of more than 250 exploited and non-target reef fishes. During the survey period more than 8100 research dives utilizing SCUBA Nitrox were optimally allocated using stratified random sampling. The survey domain covered 326 km2, comprised of eight reef habitats in four management areas that offered different levels of resource protection: the Tortugas North Ecological Reserve (a NTMR), Dry Tortugas National Park (recreational angling only), Dry Tortugas National Park Research Natural Area (a NTMR), and southern Tortugas Bank (open to all types of fishing). Surveys detected significant changes in population occupancy, density, and abundance within management zones for a suite of exploited and non-target species. Increases in size, adult abundance, and occupancy rates were detected for many principal exploited species in protected areas, which harbored a disproportionately greater number of adult spawning fishes. In contrast, density and occupancy rates for aquaria and non-target reef fishes fluctuated above and below baseline levels in each management zone. Observed decreases in density of exploited species below baseline levels only occurred at the Tortugas Bank area open to all fishing. Our findings indicate that these NTMRs, in conjunction with traditional fishery management control strategies, are helping to build sustainable fisheries while protecting the fundamental ecological dynamics of the Florida Keys coral-reef ecosystem. | [

RTE's ConTempo quartet for Clonmel festival.
As part of its new mission to provide opportunities in Clonmel to access high quality arts events across a range of artforms, a series of classical music concerts by women composers will be hosted by South Tipperary Arts Centre as part of their programme of events to celebrate International Women’s Day 2018.
Supported by a music project award from the Arts Council. Finding a Voice will take place in various venues in the town, from Thursday, March 8th to Saturday, March 10th.
Curated by Róisín Maher and hosted by Clíona Maher, Manager of the South Tipperary Arts Centre, Finding a Voice will showcase music by women composers through the ages.
The series will be bookended by performances from Voice, a vocal trio from the UK, and an exhilarating final concert double-headed by cellist Kate Ellis and pianist Isabelle O’Connell.
Other featured artists include the RTÉ ConTempo Quartet, Ensemble Dagda, Marie Lemaire and Cappella Lyrica with Mary Hegarty.
There will also be a panel discussion on women in the arts chaired by Catherine Marshall with poet Grace Wells, visual artist Aideen Barry and composer, Marian Ingoldsby.
Róisín Maher describes Finding a Voice as a passion project and one that is close to her heart.
“I find it strange that, even now, in 2018, it feels quite radical to programme a concert series featuring music entirely by woman composers” she says.
The concerts will take audiences on a musical journey from Hildegard of Bingen in the middle ages, through the wonderful women composers of the Baroque and Romantic eras, to the many talented women composers working today, both Irish and international.

The mammalian cell nucleus provides a landscape where genes are regulated through their organization and association with freely diffusing proteins and nuclear domains. In many cases, specific genes are highly dynamic, and the principles governing their movements and interchromosomal interactions are currently under intensive study. Recent investigations have implicated actin and myosin in chromatin dynamics and gene expression. Here, we discuss our current understanding of the dynamics of the interphase genome and how it impacts nuclear organization and gene activity.
The interphase nucleus is a highly compartmentalized organelle, in which chromosomes occupy discrete territories and various regulatory proteins are present in specific nuclear bodies and/or are diffusely distributed throughout the nucleoplasm (Figure 1; reviewed in Spector, 2003). Chromosome territories are arranged in a radial fashion whereby gene-rich chromosomes occupy a more central position in the nucleus and gene-poor chromosomes are present closer to the nuclear periphery (reviewed in Cremer and Cremer, 2001). Recent evidence has suggested that chromosome territories are not rigid compartments and that intermingling occurs between different territories (Branco and Pombo, 2006). This intermingling was found to be dependent upon transcriptional activation (Branco and Pombo, 2006). The interchromatin space between territories is occupied by an ever-increasing number of nuclear bodies, including but not limited to speckles or interchromatin granule clusters, Cajal bodies, promyelocytic leukemia (PML) bodies, paraspeckles, and the perinucleolar compartment (Figure 1; reviewed in Spector, 2003). Given the highly compartmentalized structure of the nucleus, much research has focused on examining the dynamic interactions between chromatin and nuclear bodies or their constituents and the impact of these interactions on nuclear structure and function.
An important underlying principle of nuclear organization relates to how the genome is organized and how this dynamic organization is reflected in gene expression (reviewed in Sproul et al., 2005). Although numerous studies have associated the nuclear periphery with silent chromatin (reviewed in Lanctot et al., 2007a), others have identified active genes associated with the nuclear periphery. For example, in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae a number of active genes were found to be associated with nuclear pore complexes, suggesting that the periphery is not necessarily a silent compartment (reviewed in Brown and Silver, 2007). Gene activation has also been observed at the nuclear periphery in Drosophila melanogaster as well as in mammalian cells (reviewed in Brown and Silver, 2007; Lanctot et al., 2007a; Sexton et al., 2007). For example, expression of the β-globin locus is initiated at the nuclear periphery prior to its movement to a more internal nuclear position during erythroid maturation (Ragoczy et al., 2006). Interestingly, the locus control region (LCR) of the β-globin gene is required for its relocation to the nuclear interior. In addition, the LCR mediates the association of the locus with RNA polymerase II (Pol II) transcription factories.
Two recent studies have described approaches to alter the nuclear position of specific chromosomal regions in living cells and address the effect on transcriptional activity. In the first study, Kumaran and Spector (2008) used a lamin B1 fusion to target a stably integrated transgene array to the nuclear periphery. Locus targeting required passage through mitosis. Importantly, the kinetics by which transcription was induced from the targeted locus was similar to the kinetics for the nontargeted locus. In a second study (Reddy et al., 2008), using a similar targeting approach that involved an emerin fusion protein, the targeted locus under study as well as a large number of endogenous genes were repressed upon targeting to the nuclear periphery. Similar to Kumaran and Spector (2008), this study also found that targeting required passage through mitosis. Although these two studies come to different conclusions with regard to nuclear positioning and gene activity, they may be reconciled by the potential presence of different microdomains at the nuclear periphery. Furthermore, silencing of already activated genes upon targeting (Reddy et al., 2008) may involve different regulatory requirements than the ability of a repositioned silent transgene array to be transcriptionally induced at the nuclear periphery (Kumaran and Spector, 2008).
Genes have also been found to loop out of their chromosomal territories upon transcriptional activation (reviewed in Fraser and Bickmore, 2007). In mouse erythroid progenitor cells a set of actively transcribed genes were found to loop out into transcription factories (Osborne et al., 2004). Genes that were either distally located on the same chromosome or on different chromosomes were sometimes found to share the same factory (Osborne et al., 2007).
Distinct antigen specificity in B and T cells is attained via monoallelic rearrangements (reviewed in Spicuglia et al., 2006). Long-range chromosomal interactions between regions that are 2–3 Mb apart have been implicated in facilitating chromosomal recombination (reviewed in Spicuglia et al., 2006).

Malda: Over 2.5 lakh people in West Bengal’s Malda district have been affected by a flood-like situation owing to incessant rain, officials said.
Zilla Parishad president Gour Chandra Mandal said that the low-lying areas in all the blocks of the district have been inundated and a large number of mud houses have collapsed due to heavy rainfall over the past two days.
“A total of 2.5 lakh people of 50,000 households have been affected by the flood-like situation in the district. Operations are on to rescue the residents of the islets of the Ganga, who are stranded there,” he said. The district has received over 99.80 mm rain since 8.30 am on Monday. | [

You will learn this information most often from the rules for playing slot machines or from the information itself directly in the slot machine, especially if you play in a stone casino. The higher the multiplier and the higher the highest win, the higher the variance of the winnings of the slot machine, which is positive. This secret of slot machines is already known among professional players, and this tip for playing slot machines will ensure you potentially the highest winnings.
But that doesn’t mean you should literally avoid low-scatter slot machines. In some cases, it is better to bet lower amounts, i.e. on slot machines with low variance. For example, this is useful when your game budget is small.
Managing the Budget
Once you manage to create a better gaming budget, thanks to lower but much more frequent low-scatter slot winnings, you can move to high-scatter slot machines and maximize your bets. And who knows, maybe a huge jackpot awaits you just around the corner. When you do your homework responsibly, you can dramatically increase your chances of winning, you can avoid beginner’s mistakes and green agen slot online.
Myths about Loose Slot Machines
We’ve probably all heard talk about legendary slot machines that pay out huge winnings. But it has been confirmed that there is more truth to superstition than superstition in these stories. Although this is harder for online slot machines, there is evidence in land-based casinos that they use slot machines that actually pay out more often and higher amounts than other slot machines.
- But the question is still, where can you find these lucrative slot machines? People who know the gambling industry from the inside and were willing to talk about loose slot machines only said that casinos do not place them close to each other. So it is better, if you go to play in the casino, choose a slot machine at the end of the line.
- You will have a much higher chance of winning high prizes if you follow this tradition, but it may be even more advantageous for you to make friends with a regular casino player. With someone who already knows the payouts of the specific slot machines in the casino that you intend to visit.
If you come across someone like that and want to be generous, maybe he will give you a tip on a loose slot machine. You won’t be left if you give him twenty dollars as a reward, if his tip turned out to be correct. When it comes to playing slot machines online, the best strategy is to browse through each slot machine. You never know which one will pay out more often than others until you try it first.
What Not To Do When Playing Slot Machines
Don’t cheat. It’s really that simple. Slot machines offer a huge amount of money, and some people still think that the easiest way to win is to cheat. When it comes to online slot machines, it’s basically no problem, but you may be surprised that stone casinos lose hundreds of millions of dollars a year just for cheating, specifically when playing slot machines. Scammers want to make quick money on slot machines, and they are willing to do unreal things for it. From the use of magnets to devices called top-bottom joints. Everything has been used in the past for cheating, from wires to the oldest slot machines, to manipulating chips on the newer slot machines or bribing someone inside the casino. | [

UN voices concern over growing violence in SW Syria
(MENAFN) The UN has raised concerns over the intensified violence seen in southwestern Syria, with over 45,000 people having been displaced.
The statement has been made by Jens Laerke, a spokesman for the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) during a press conference at the UN in Geneva.
The spokesman stated "we are alarmed by reports in recent days of escalating hostilities in Dar'a governorate in south-western Syria which are endangering an estimated 750,000 people."
Laerke noted that several deaths and wounds have been reported as a result of clashes on the ground and bombardment from the air.
He added "at least 45,000 people have reportedly been displaced mostly from eastern Dar'a governorate to areas near the border with Jordan. These displaced people are in urgent need of shelter and humanitarian aid."

In a groundbreaking study from Leicester, researchers have turned to artificial intelligence (AI) to tackle one of the most pressing challenges in heart health: predicting dangerous heart rhythms before they strike.
Dr. Joseph Barker and Professor Andre Ng, a leading heart expert from the University of Leicester and the University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust, have shared promising results from their latest project in the European Heart Journal—Digital Health.
The heart condition in question, known as ventricular arrhythmia (VA), is a serious issue where the heart’s lower chambers beat unusually fast.
This can cause blood pressure to drop suddenly, leading to loss of consciousness and, in severe cases, sudden death if not promptly treated.
The team’s focus was on improving how doctors can tell which patients are most at risk of this frightening condition.
Dr. Barker spearheaded this study at the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Leicester Biomedical Research Center, collaborating with Dr. Xin Li, a specialist in Biomedical Engineering.
They developed an AI tool that analyzed heart rhythm data (ECGs) from 270 adults who wore Holter monitors.
These portable devices tracked the heart’s activity during everyday routines at home, collecting data that was later examined by the team.
These participants, part of NHS care from 2014 to 2022, were chosen because their health outcomes were already known. Sadly, 159 of them had suffered from lethal ventricular arrhythmias, usually around 1.6 years after their ECG was taken.
The AI tool, named VA-ResNet-50, was tasked with reviewing these ECGs to predict the heart’s capability to develop lethal arrhythmias based on “normal for patient” heart rhythms.
The results were impressive. The AI tool correctly identified the condition 80% of the time, offering a much-needed improvement over current medical guidelines, which often fall short.
According to Professor Ng, these guidelines don’t accurately pinpoint patients at high risk of ventricular arrhythmia, resulting in many preventable deaths.
The AI’s performance means that if it identifies someone as at risk, their chance of experiencing a lethal event is three times higher than that of the average adult.
This finding is a significant leap forward, showing that AI can offer a new perspective on assessing heart risk, potentially guiding doctors in recommending life-saving treatments like implantable cardioverter defibrillators.
This study stands out not just for its innovative use of AI in heart care but also for its collaborative spirit.
The success, according to Professor Ng, is a testament to the hard work and dedication of Dr. Barker and Dr. Xin Li, who believed in the potential of AI to unlock insights from data that was previously overlooked.
By leveraging AI, this Leicester team is paving the way for more precise, timely, and effective heart care, offering hope that in the future, fewer lives will be lost to sudden and unpredictable heart rhythms.
If you care about heart disease, please read studies that herbal supplements could harm your heart rhythm, and how eating eggs can help reduce heart disease risk.
For more information about heart health, please see recent studies that apple juice could benefit your heart health, and results showing yogurt may help lower the death risks in heart disease.
The research findings can be found in European Heart Journal—Digital Health.

Do you ever get the urge to change up the décor around your house and outdoors, but you don’t want to break the bank buying new (and pricey) items? If you want to save money and make the most of your current décor, consider trying some do-it-yourself projects this summer! Below are a few tips and tricks to help brighten up your space.
Buy Second Hand.
After spring cleaning, people start changing out the items in their homes for new ones, which means it’s the perfect time for garage sales! Garage sales are a great way to find unique pieces for your home, on a budget. Nowadays, you don’t even have to put the effort into driving around your neighborhood to find these garage sales. Instead, you can find them on your mobile device with the touch of a button! Apps like Facebook Marketplace and OfferUp feature gently-used items at great prices that can add the perfect touch to your home.
Give older furniture a new look.
You don’t have to get rid of your beloved furniture and décor to give your space a new look. Try repurposing pieces instead! A fresh coat of paint can help give your existing furniture some life, or you can repurpose the piece completely with a new fabric or texture or by giving it a whole new function. You might be surprised by how new and unique that piece of furniture will look with just a simple change!
Get creative and use regular household items as décor.
There’s no need to spend an absurd amount of money on home décor when you can use regular household items that you have lying around to level-up the look and feel of your home. For example, using a mirror as a decorative tray and styling it with mason jars and glass bottles filled with florals (instead of using vases) can look wonderful as a centerpiece on your coffee table.
Repurpose items for storage.
Running out of storage space? While it may be tempting to buy new shelves or storage bins, try to make use of items you already have on hand. If you have wooden crates that aren’t being used, fasten them to a wall and use them as shelves, styling décor in them or on top of them. A wooden ladder can also be used as a shelving unit! Just lean it up against a wall and hang your blankets or plants on it.
Switch out your planters for baskets or colorful vases.
A very simple but effective way to update your space is to change the location of your plants around your house or switch out the planters for vases or woven baskets. Similar to the effect of re-positioning furniture around your home, moving your plants can add a different flare and vibe to your home. Without having to switch out the plants you already have, you can also achieve an alternative feel to your space by trying new planters or vases!
Designing a new look for your home doesn’t have to be expensive or time-consuming! Our Balanced Home Box is another easy way to add new, on-trend décor to your home every season, and it’s delivered right to your door. These easy DIY tips and tricks can help liven up your home for the summer, while saving you some money. And who knows – DIY projects may even become a hobby that you enjoy doing!

Retire in "Alabama the Beautiful"
by Ed Majors
If you are looking for the perfect outdoors retirement spot, then look no further than Alabama. I recently built my dream log cabin on three acres of rural countryside; and I have all I want pretty much within a stone’s throw away (well, at least within a short drive)! I have lived most of my life in Alabama and there is nowhere else I would even think about retiring to.
Southern Hospitality in Alabama
Alabama has all I could ever want – and then some. You hear so much about “southern hospitality.” Well, let me tell you, IT IS “all it is cracked up to be.” I have had visitors from all over the United States that have raved about the kind and friendly people here in the South. I have met nice folks from all over, but when it comes to a warm welcome and great hospitality, the South just can’t be beat!
Another reason for Alabama being a great place to retire is the warm climate. The winters in Alabama are generally mild with a minimum of ice and snowfall. While the summers can be considered humid, the temperatures again are fairly mild and very conducive to the vast array of outdoor activities found here. Being at the foot of the Appalachian Mountains in the North and bordered by the Gulf of Mexico to the south, Alabama has an ideal climate to enjoy those activities year round.
Activities for Retirees in Alabama
And believe me we have some great retirement activities available in Alabama!
Lets start with the world-famous Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail. As described by Gareth Clary, a local golf writer, “Stand on the edge of a cliff overlooking the Tennessee River and hit a tee shot over what seems to be a bottomless ravine. Stand on a bluff hovering above the Alabama River and watch your drive seemingly sail through the clouds, then fall to a ribbon of fairway 200 feet below. Stand in the fairway and aim at twin greens dissected by an 80-foot waterfall.” These breathtaking shots are what you will find all along the Golf Trail in Alabama. It receives rave reviews each year, and has transformed the state into one of the most popular golf destinations in the world.
If your idea of retirement, like mine, is chasing that record-setting fish on a local lake, then Alabama has all you need. Sitting on a pier or in a boat, with the sun just breaking over the horizon, waiting for that “first bite of the day”; now that is like heaven for me!
Whether you enjoy freshwater fishing for bass or crappie, or deep-sea fishing on the Gulf coast, Alabama has got you covered. I have two grandchildren, ages two and four, and I can’t wait to take them fishing and help them learn to enjoy the out of doors! There is no greater joy than watching a kid catch their first fish.
There are so many more activities – hunting, camping, hiking, or just lying on the beach – that make for the ideal retirement spot for the active outdoors person. And Alabama has them all!
If all you want in retirement is to sit quietly, watch TV and grow old, look elsewhere. Alabama is tailor-made for an exciting, vibrant outdoors retirement. And for me, I couldn’t ask for more!

1911 was made for down and dirty usage,
the BHP was refinement of the 1911 for the 9mm
I am not sure why you would think this.... The BHP was a contract gun for the military just like the 1911. They were both designed to be combat pistols both have served different militarizes all over the world in the down and dirty. IMHO the BHP has actually seen a lot more combat than the 1911 when you consider how many people have adopted it all over the world vs the fairly limited use of the 1911 by militarizes world wide.
The BHP is not a refined 1911 it borrows aspects from JMBs other designs like the 1911 but there is no documentation to support he used the 1911 as the starting point for the BHP. In fact it was already in development before the 1911 patents expired. Some of the 1911s patent elements were introduced by Savie but this does not make the BHP a more refined 1911. It is its own design built to meet the specs of the French contract. The Belgians used it but the French never adopted it. I hear this claim all the time but there never seems to be any real basis for it in fact.
That does not change the fact that the BHP is a great pistol. | [

Walt Disney World’s worst kept secret at this point is the gondola transportation system that will link Epcot, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort, Art of Animation Resort, and Pop Century Resort. With that being said, construction walls are now up at International Gateway, the World Showcase entrance to Epcot, for what we believe to be the gondola station for that park.
The work site is quite large, visible from the bridge connecting the Beach Club and Boardwalk.
What was a tram stop many years ago will now likely be the gondola station for guests at Epcot, just steps away from the entrance and boat dock.
No work has begun yet, but materials are arriving.
It should be interesting to see how this changes the often quiet second entrance to Epcot.
The Walt Disney World gondola system is expected to be announced at the D23 Expo 2017 in just a few weeks. | [

So they’re saying this is not a good time, Max, and you’re not the right guy. But as Ronald Reagan asked, “If not us, who? And if not now, when?”
Maybe timing isn’t everybody’s concern. Some might object to Bernier leaving the Tories on principle because they don’t like principles. When he said the party was too obsessed with political expediency a surprising number of people wailed “Now how do we beat Trudeau?” It’s like the person accused of being obsessed with money who says yes but look how many dollars are involved.
tap here to see other videos from our team.
There’s also the emergency argument. One Twitter response to my support of Bernier was “Canada cannot afford another Trudeau term.” Now look. I’m no Trudeau fan. But he’s not the fifth horseman of the apocalypse, just a genial doofus with harmful big government plans. And by no means the only such. They don’t all wear red ties.
Then there’s the loyalty at all costs argument. But it’s a bit rich to hear from former Reformers Stephen Harper and Jason Kenney. Isn’t Harper the guy who quit the Tories, spoke at the founding Reform convention, wrote much of its platform then defeated his former boss MP Jim Hawkes? Wikipedia thinks so. | [

A Hybrid Algorithm for Crustal Velocity Modeling
We present a hybrid method to produce a velocity model of the Earth’s crust using evolutionary and seismic tomography algorithms. This method takes advantage of the global search ability of an evolution strategy and the quick convergence of an iterative three-dimensional seismic tomography technique to generate a model of the Earth’s crustal structure from recorded arrival times of wave fronts produced by controlled sources. The evolution strategy finds a three-dimensional velocity model with constant lateral velocity layers that minimizes the root mean square residuals computed by the tomographic algorithm. The model found is provided as the initial search point to a first arrival traveltime seismic tomography algorithm, which then computes the final three-dimensional velocity model. The method was tested with a real-world data set from an active source experiment performed in the Potrillo Volcanic Field, in Southern New Mexico. Results show that our hybrid method obtains faster convergence and more accurate results than the conventional methods, and does not require an expert-supplied one-dimensional model for the seismic tomography procedure. | [

Dental solutions and innovative developments are frequently enhancing dentistry to meet the needs of modern individuals. Besides taking modern strategies to common dental issues, these enhancements can also make dentistry a lot more pleasant and hassle-free experience to get patients.
One of the popular dentist technologies may be the CEREC program, that enables dentists to complete restorations, such as crowns, veneers, inlays and onlays, connections and pèlerine restorations in just a single go to. Traditional strategies require two visits, therefore the technology contains saved both equally time and money pertaining to dentists and the patients.
Good innovation in dentistry is the CAD/CAM systems which could improve the design and style and building of tooth restorations. They will eliminate the logjam of manual modelling and allow dental labs to https://riccardodegni.it/2019/12/01/clinica-riccardodegni-segreti-del-successo/ produce malocclusion models, medical guides, invisalign aligner, retainers, denture, implants plus more in a much faster and more correct way.
3D IMAGES Printing is actually generating awareness in health-related for a while today and is anticipated to be included in dental labs shortly. This technology has the capacity to print teeth prosthetics, which include crowns, links, zirconia frame and dentures (removable or fixed) right at the office.
CRISPR is a genome croping and editing technique that can become the maximum system against cancer tumor or even help design infants in the future. It could also be utilized for dentistry to alter bacteria responsible for plaque creation and reduce and maybe eliminate dental diseases such as periodontal disease.
Other ground breaking dental technologies include a sensor that sticks to your teeth like digital tattoos and tracks your overall health status by simply tracking changes in saliva and other nutrient intake. It is typically connected to a smartphone with regards to continuous way of measuring of your nutritional consumption, salivary bacteria amounts and other vital health signs. | [

Probable Cause Approval Date: 03/23/2010
Aircraft: BELL HELICOPTER TEXTRON 206L-1, registration: N177PA
Injuries: 2 Minor.
NTSB investigators used data provided by various entities, including, but not limited to, the Federal Aviation Administration and/or the operator and did not travel in support of this investigation to prepare this aircraft accident report.
The certified flight instructor and pilot under instruction completed their helicopter external load training and landed the helicopter in a clear and level spot. Both pilots exited the helicopter, unhooked the external line, and verified the helicopter was clear of any skid entanglement. Both pilots reentered the helicopter. The pilot under instruction began to apply collective to lift the helicopter off the ground. As the helicopter started to come up, the left skid lifted first and the helicopter began to roll to the right. Both pilots applied full down collective and full left cyclic but the helicopter continued to roll over on its right side. The pilot stated that the helicopter and engine had no mechanical failures or malfunctions during the external load training portion of the flight
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be: The pilot's failure to maintain control of the helicopter. Full narrative available

Stroud MP Siobhan Baillie welcomed the visit of Prime Minister Boris Johnson to Stonehouse this morning.
He was speaking on a visit to Barratt Homes on the Great Oldbury development at Stonehouse to mark the first day of a government-guaranteed mortgage scheme for five percent deposits.
She said: “I was really pleased the Prime Minister chose to visit Stonehouse to launch the Government’s Mortgage Guarantee Scheme – an initiative that will really help local people onto the property ladder.
“Boris was on great form and he spoke to homeowners and construction workers at the Great Oldbury site.
“It’s important we build homes, but the Prime Minister was also clear that we need to protect the environment and encourage biodiversity too if we are to make our country greener and more wildlife-friendly.” | [

Heat can create serious health problems. Usually the elderly, the very young, the sick and those without access to air conditioning are most severely affected by heat.
Symptoms of heat illness include heavy sweating, muscle cramps, weakness, dizziness, nausea, weak but rapid pulse, and headaches. People with these symptoms should find shade, drink water slowly and make sure there is good ventilation.
A drought is defined as "a period of abnormally dry weather sufficiently prolonged for the lack of water to cause serious hydrologic imbalance in the affected area." -Glossary of Meteorology (1959).
In easier to understand terms, a drought is a period of unusually persistent dry weather that persists long enough to cause serious problems such as crop damage and/or water supply shortages. The severity of the drought depends upon the degree of moisture deficiency, the duration, and the size of the affected area.

When the temperature rises and drought is imminent, Texans need to be ready. | [

With the death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia triggering a heated debate over nominations to the court, clear lines have been drawn. Republicans believe the president should hold off on picking a judge to replace Scalia until the election concludes in November, so that the American people may have some say in the matter.
Democrats, however, argue that Obama should be able to pick a justice right away, with some even accusing conservatives of being racist for thinking nominations should be delayed. That's a very interesting charge to level, especially considering Obama's Vice President once held a similar position.
Way back in 1992, then-Senator Biden decried George H.W. Bush's push to nominate a Supreme Court Justice before the election that year. Not only did he oppose such a move, he also argued that it was contradictory to standing practice for nominating Supreme Court justices.

News flash: Hollywood is still disproportionately white and male. But a new USC study shows that while the Academy Awards remain stubbornly resistant to change in many categories, gains in inclusivity have been made in the wake of #OscarsSoWhite.
The study released Wednesday by USC Annenberg’s Inclusion Initiative found that nominations among underrepresented racial or ethnic groups and women increased after 2015, when activist April Reign created the viral hashtag.
Looking at the eight years before and after #OscarsSoWhite, the USC study found that 8% of nominees between 2008 and 2015 were from underrepresented racial or ethnic groups. In the post-#OscarsSoWhite era between 2016 and 2023, that number increased to 17%.
In the eight-year period prior to #OscarsSoWhite, women represented 21% of Oscar nominees; the study shows that number jumped to 27% in the eight years following.
The data signal positive change for the Oscars in the aftermath of #OscarsSoWhite, although the academy is still far from achieving parity across the 19 categories examined by USC Annenberg researchers.
Even with the Asian- and Asian American-led “Everything Everywhere All At Once” poised to make history at this year’s 95th Oscars, films with Black leads and directors were shut out of nominations entirely, no actors of color broke into the lead actor category and no women were nominated for best director.
While the study found notable changes in 16 of 19 examined categories, three — editing, sound and visual effects — showed no notable change in nominees from underrepresented communities. And zero of the categories examined in the study reached proportional representation on par with U.S. population demographics.
Still, USC’s Stacy L. Smith credits the viral hashtag — created by Reign as acting nominations in all four categories went to white performers for two years in a row — with sparking change.
“When April Reign unleashed #OscarsSoWhite, she tapped into the collective desire for change and the outrage that people felt at seeing actors of color excluded once again from this career-defining award,” said Smith. “This comprehensive look at the Oscars demonstrates that exclusion was normative for many years and still is in many categories. But it also shows that there is power in collective action, and that energy has ensured that the years since #OscarsSoWhite do not look like the years that came before.”
The findings are part of a larger USC Annenberg research initiative mapping demographics across nearly a century of Oscars history, examining 13,253 feature film nominees dating back to the first Academy Awards in 1929 by race/ethnicity, gender and category.
Nominee race/ethnicity and gender identity were determined using online references, photographs and direct confirmation when available. While other marginalized communities were not examined in the study, USC researchers plan to break out future analyses on Oscar nominees who identify as LBTQIA+ and people with disabilities.
The wider look at the academy’s racial/ethnic history shows that white nominees have outnumbered non-white nominees 17 to 1, with Hattie McDaniel breaking the barrier in 1940 as the first person of color to win an Oscar for her supporting turn in “Gone With the Wind.”
Dubbed The Inclusion List, the data are accessible to the public and present an intersectional look at both the recent advances and lingering failures of inclusion in Hollywood’s top award.
The 95-year survey found that over the history of the Academy Awards, only 6% of nominees have been people of color. From the inaugural Oscars to this month’s 95th ceremony, 17% of all nominees have been women. Women of color represent just 2% of total nominees.
In the directing category, women have been nominated only eight times and won three times. Four of those nominations (Greta Gerwig for “Lady Bird,” Emerald Fennell for “Promising Young Woman,” Chloé Zhao for “Nomadland” and Jane Campion for “Power of the Dog”) occurred after 2017.
Breaking the comprehensive Oscars data down by race/ethnicity, the study shows that Black nominees represent 1.9% of all nominees and 2% of all winners from 1929-2023, across 253 nominations and 57 winners.
Hispanic and Latino nominees account for 231, or 1.7%, of all nominees and 57, or 2%, of all winners. Three filmmakers — Alejandro Iñárritu, Alfonso Cuarón and Guillermo del Toro — account for 17% of all Hispanic/Latino Oscar wins.
Asian nominees constitute 2% of all nominees and 1.7% of all winners across 229 nominations and 47 wins. 2023 marks the highest number of Asian nominees in one year — | [

These notes are an introduction to the theory of algebraic varieties. In contrast to most such accounts they study abstract algebraic varieties, and not just subvarieties of affine and projective space. This approach leads more naturally into scheme theory.

This book provides an introduction to some of the most significant topics in this area, including noncommutative projective algebraic geometry, deformation theory, symplectic reflection algebras, and noncommutative resolutions of singularities.
by Marc Levine - American Mathematical Society
This book combines foundational constructions in the theory of motives and results relating motivic cohomology to more explicit constructions. Prerequisite for understanding the work is a basic background in algebraic geometry.
by D. Gieseker - Tata Institute of Fundamental Research
These lecture notes are based on some lectures given in 1980. The object of the lectures was to construct a projective moduli space for stable curves of genus greater than or equal two using Mumford's geometric invariant theory.
by Armand Borel, George D. Mostow - American Mathematical Society
The book covers linear algebraic groups and arithmetic groups, adeles and arithmetic properties of algebraic groups, automorphic functions and spectral decomposition of L2-spaces, vector valued cohomology and deformation of discrete subgroups, etc. | [

NILC Announces Intent to File Legal Challenge to Trump Public Charge Regulation
WASHINGTON — The Trump administration today posted the text, as a “public inspection document,” of a new regulation that would vastly expand the number of immigrants who may be deemed ineligible for lawful permanent residence based on their use of certain government services, household income, and other criteria. The rule, by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), expands on a century-old practice of penalizing immigrant families who sometimes struggle to make ends meet. It is a cornerstone of the administration’s attempts to redefine our legal immigration system in order to disenfranchise communities of color and favor the wealthy.
A draft of the “public charge” changes was first leaked to news outlets shortly after President Trump took office in 2017. An updated proposed rule was then published in the Federal Register in October 2018, prompting more than a quarter million public comments — overwhelmingly in opposition.
The National Immigration Law Center announced today that it will file a lawsuit challenging the new rule, which is slated to go into effect on October 15.
Marielena Hincapié, executive director of the National Immigration Law Center, issued the following statement:
“This news is a cruel new step toward weaponizing programs that are intended to help people by making them, instead, a means of separating families and sending immigrants and communities of color one message: You are not welcome here. This latest racially-motivated policy is a painful reminder that behind Donald Trump’s bluster, bureaucrats like Stephen Miller will stop at nothing to attack immigrants and destroy our legal immigration system. It will have a dire humanitarian impact, forcing some families to forego critical life-saving health care and nutrition. The damage will be felt for decades to come.
“At the National Immigration Law Center, we have been fighting alongside our partners and communities for months to stop the Trump administration from carrying out this cruel and unlawful transformation of our immigration system. The time has come to take our fight to the courts, and we will do so shortly.
“Americans from all walks of life, including pediatricians, health care providers, educators, attorneys, and state and local elected leaders, have spoken out loud and clear: We must reject Trump’s attempts to skirt the law in order to radically reform our legal immigration system and undermine our democracy by blocking potential future voters from becoming permanent residents and citizens.
“As a leading national organization fighting to advance and defend the rights and opportunities of low-income immigrants, we will fight with every tool we have available to ensure that everyone in our communities has the freedom to thrive and the necessary resources to do so. We look forward to seeing Trump in court — again — and to seeing justice prevail as we defend immigrant families and our democracy.” | [
