Bands Thrilled As Dexter Selected for NCBBGB
Dereham Band and East Coast Brass’ Young tenor horn player, Dexter Speed has been invited to play with the National Children’s Brass Band of Great Britain.
Dexter (age 11) is a regular player with both the Dereham Band and East Coast Brass as well as being a member of the Watton Band, the Oxfordshire Youth Brass Band, the Grimethorpe Youth Band, and the North East Midlands Brass Band Association Youth Band.
He appeared in his first contest with Oxfordshire Youth Brass Band (then known as Blewbury Youth Band) in October 2017 and took part in both the London and Southern Counties regional contest and the National Finals with Great Yarmouth Brass band in 2018.
Dexter’s dad, and Musical Director of East Coast Brass, Paul Speed told A4B: “Dexter has earned his opportunity to play with the National Children’s Band through a lot of hard work and also having a natural talent for music. He has become a valued member of East Coast Brass’ Tenor Horn section over the last few months since joining the band, and recently performed his first solo with the Dereham Band at their Christmas concert last year. We are all very proud of him, and hope that this opportunity will give him the chance to develop his playing career further as he looks to emulate his banding hero, Sheona Wade.” | [

The 55th GEF Council Meeting will be held from 17-20 December 2018 at the Preston auditorium of the World Bank headquarters in Washington, D.C.
The Council, the GEF's main governing body, comprises 32 Members appointed by constituencies of GEF member countries (14 from developed countries, 16 from developing countries and 2 from economies in transition). Council Members rotate every three years or until the constituency appoints a new Member. The Council, which meets twice annually, develops, adopts and evaluates the operational policies and programs for GEF-financed activities. It also reviews and approves the work program (projects submitted for approval), making decisions by consensus.
As requested by the GEF Council at its 54th meeting, the upcoming GEF Consultations with Civil Society on the day preceding the Council meeting, will include a dialogue on the issue of “Connecting environmental impact and gender equality”. This dialogue will offer the opportunity to discover and learn directly from CSOs and Indigenous Peoples about their experiences addressing gender equality and women’s empowerment in environmental policies, programs and projects.

Automation can be extremely valuable to verification engineers and to anyone performing measurements in laboratories on a daily basis. I have my fair share of experience with electronic laboratory measurements and I have saved countless hours and days thanks to automated instruments and software like LabView.
LabView (LV) is a system-design platform and development environment for a visual programming language that allows to easily build applications with a friendly Graphical User Interface (GUI). It comes with several libraries and modules that allows it to talk to instruments, and therefore it can be used for laboratory automation. I'm a LabView user and I have built several applications with it in the past, but for the past few years I have started to phase it out and to replace it with Python. Yes, you heard it right: Python can be used not only to analyze data or write backend web applications, it can also be used to talk to instruments and automate lab measurements.
Here are my 8 reasons to prefer Python over LabView for laboratory automation:
1. Python is free
Last time I checked, developing LabView applications requires buying a license. I’m not sure how much does that cost, but I can guarantee it doesn’t beat $0. For Windows users looking to automate their lab I recommend installing Python(X,Y) which comes pre-packaged with all the libraries you could possibly need.
2. Python is easy to learn
Pretty much any Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) such as Udacity, Coursera, Udemy offers basic computer programming courses. The language of choice for introductory courses is often Python because it is an easy-to-understand, modern, object-oriented language used in a lot of real applications. Additionally, most of the offered courses on Python are free of charge and thought by some of the best teachers and engineers in the field.
3. Python code is very legible
Have you ever tried picking into someone else LV project? If the project is big enough, decoding what is going on can be quite difficult. Python, on the contrary, is very legible even for larger projects. This is particularly true if the programmer took care of commenting and keeping the code well organized.
4. Python can talk to instruments
The PyVISA package allows to easily create scripts that talk to all your GPIB and Ethernet instruments. Below you can find a snippet of code I copied from the PyVISA website that shows how little code is needed to discover and talk to GPIB instruments connected to your PC.
>>> import visa
>>> rm = visa.ResourceManager()
('ASRL1::INSTR', 'ASRL2::INSTR', 'GPIB0::12::INSTR')
>>> inst = rm.open_resource('GPIB0::12::INSTR')
5. Most automation scripts are simple
Let’s say you want to write a script that automates measuring the efficiency of a voltage regulator: what you are trying to do is, in simple words, to measure input and output voltages and currents for each value of the output current (your independent variable). This simple task can be automated using a single for loop. If you don’t believe me check out the example script I posted into my public GitHub repository. The script commands the electronic load to sink a pre-defined set of currents and, for each of them, it tells the digital acquisition instrument to measure input/output voltages and currents and it computes the efficiency. Finally the results are saved into a handy CSV file.
6. Making changes to the code is easy
Do you want to measure the efficiency of the voltage regulator discussed before for different input voltages as well (adding another independent variable)? All you have to do is to nest the old code inside another for loop! This is only few extra lines of code.
7. Python is good at Math and Data Analysis
By using the NumPy, SciPy and Pandas libraries it very easy to do very complex analysis on the acquired data… and that can be extremely valuable: by processing the data right after each acquisition it is possible to obtain important insights that could allow to speed up the whole measurement process. Python is also extremely good at making complex graphs, and I often prefer it to Excel, unless the graphs are really simple and the dataset is small.
If you want to get serious about data analysis using Python I recommend reading the book Python for Data Analysis by Wes McKinney and enrolling in the free online course Intro to Data Science on Udacity.
8. You can make GUIs in Python
LabView makes creating GUIs extremely easy. The process is not as straightforward with Python, but it is not very difficult either. My GUI toolkit of choice is usually PyQT. If you are interested in knowing more about this topic I recommend reading the book Rapid GUI protgramming with Python and QT by Mark Summerfield.
Python is an ideal choice to automate your laboratory setup and avoid tedious hours of measurements because it | [

Have you ever dreamed of buying a vacation home in another country? If so, there are a few considerations to work through before you pack your bags and jump on an airplane. Purchasing property abroad is exciting but comes with several challenges that you should discuss with an expert.
- You’ll need to obtain a temporary or permanent residency visa in most cases, and
- There are many legal and financial issues to consider with foreign property investments.
Obtaining a Visa
Getting a visa to live in your vacation home abroad can vary depending on the specific country’s laws and regulations. Depending on how long you plan to spend in your home abroad each year, you may need to obtain temporary or permanent residency. In many cases, you have to apply for a visa before traveling, either at an embassy, consulate, or online. Sometimes you can also obtain a visa on arrival. To buy property on a tourist visa, the buyer must submit a few extra documents that may establish the identity and intent of the buyer. Doing thorough research and consulting with professionals before making any decisions is recommended.
Favorable Countries to Choose for Purchasing a Home and Obtaining a Visa
When choosing a country to purchase a vacation home, it’s important to consider the visa requirements and the ease of obtaining one. Here are some of the most favorable countries for Americans to purchase a vacation home abroad based on your ability to get the visa you need. It’s important to check for the most recent information regarding current requirements with the country’s official website, as programs, requirements, and details are subject to change.
Mexico remains a popular destination for both tourism and retirement among Canadians and Americans. It’s also enjoying good growth in the local tourism market. There are some details of the law you’ll need to consider. For example, as a foreigner, you’re not allowed to buy real estate within 62 miles of an international border or 31 miles of the coast. However, it’s fairly straightforward to obtain a visa in Mexico.
Barbados is one of the best countries to buy a vacation home. It offers a special visa for non-nationals who own property over a defined value in Barbados. There are also multiple ways to stay in Barbados on a seasonal basis that often fits the needs of vacation homeowners well.
Anguilla is another great country to buy a vacation home. It offers a residency-by-investment program that requires a minimum investment of $750,000 in real estate. The visa is valid for up to five years and allows multiple entries into the country.
Croatia is one of the best places to buy a vacation home. It offers a temporary residence permit for non-EU citizens who own real estate in Croatia. The permit is valid for up to one year and can be renewed annually.
Other Considerations for Purchasing Property Abroad:
Purchasing vacation property abroad can be an exciting investment, but it’s important to consider several key considerations before making any decisions. Here are some of the key considerations people should have when considering purchasing vacation property abroad:
Location: The location of the vacation property is one of the most important considerations. It’s important to choose a location that you enjoy and has the potential for rental income. Some of the best countries to own vacation property include.,,, and the
Purpose: Always consider the purpose of the vacation property when choosing a location. Is it for personal use or rental income? For rental income, choosing a location with a robust rental market and working with a local property management company is essential.
Financing: Financing a vacation property abroad can be more challenging than financing a property in your home country. It’s important to research the financing options and work with a local lender who understands the local market.
Taxes: Understanding the tax implications of owning a vacation property abroad is important. Some countries have higher property taxes or require non-residents to pay additional taxes.
Maintenance: Maintaining a vacation property abroad can be more challenging than maintaining a property in your home country. It’s important to work with a local property management company to ensure that the property is well-maintained and to address any issues that may arise.
Legal Considerations: Understanding the legal considerations of owning a vacation property abroad is essential. Some countries restrict foreign ownership or require non-residents to obtain a special permit to own property.
Cultural Differences: Take time to understand the cultural differences of the country where you hope to purchase a vacation property. This includes understanding the local customs, language, and laws.
. : It’s essential to consider the resale value of the vacation property. Some locations may have a strong resale market, while others may not

MUMS-to-be with raised blood pressure are significantly more likely to suffer a miscarriage, a study suggests.
Researchers looked at more than 1,200 women trying to conceive.
All the participants had previously suffered at least one miscarriage. They had an average aged of 29 and blood pressure of 112/73 mmHg. Two in three conceived during the six-month trial, with a quarter suffering a miscarriage.
However, US medics found every 10-point increase in their blood pressure readings was linked to 17 per cent higher risk of pregnancy loss.
Up to one in four UK pregnancies end in miscarriage.
Researcher Dr Enrique Schisterman, from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute for Child Health and Human Development in Maryland, said: “Our findings suggest that attaining a healthy blood pressure before pregnancy could not only have benefits later in life, but also reduce the chances for pregnancy loss.
"Preconception is a previously unrecognized critical window for intervention such as lifestyle changes that can help prevent later heart disease and may also improve reproductive health.
“Physicians treating women of reproductive age should pay attention to slightly elevated blood pressure.” Raised blood pressure both before conception and in early pregnancy was linked to a higher miscarriage risk.
Experts suggest doctors consider tackling the issue in those suffering repeat losses.
MOST READ IN HEALTH NEWS
The findings, published in the journal Hypertension, may help thousands of couples.
Recurrent miscarriages affect around one in 100 and are defined as the loss of three or more consecutive pregnancies.
Lead researcher Dr Carrie Nobles, also from the NICHD, said: “Elevated blood pressure among young adults is associated with a higher risk of heart disease later in life, and this study suggests it may also have an effect on reproductive health."

The good news is that the snow pack will not flood the Missouri River Basin this year. The bad news is that we don’t know how much rain is coming this spring. The Army Corps of Engineers has been keeping a close eye on the snow melt happening north of here. Jody Farhat — the Army Corps’ Chief of the Water Management Division, Missouri River Basin — says this time last year the runoff was 1.2 million acre feet higher than it is today.
She says Northwest Missouri has flooded the last four out of five years, and four of those years it was from spring rains … not snow melt upstream. She says Northwest Missouri has flooded from spring rains the last four out of five years: 2007, 2008, 2010, and 2011.
Historically, localized rainfall driven flood events occur somewhere along the river almost every year, Farhat says.
Kevin Low is the senior hydrologist with the Missouri River Basin Forecast Center. He agrees that even though snow-melt is not a threat … spring rains could make all the difference.
Hydraulic Engineer Joel Knofczynski says the corps is expecting a full navigation season, which begins at the end of March, and will not implement a spring rise because of the damage to infrastructure from last year’s flooding. A spring rise, or spring pulse, would release water from upstream resevoirs to boost the breeding cycle of the endangered pallid sturgeon. The spring rises are part of a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service plan required by the Endangered Species Act.
“It’s good news,” Farhat says. “Our goal following the Flood of 2011 was to evacuate all of the flood waters and prepare the reservoir system for the 2012 runoff season. We’ve met that goal and have slightly more than the full capacity of the system available.”
During the fall and winter of each year, the Corps completes the evacuation of stored flood water as part of its flood risk reduction efforts, she says, and the mild winter has allowed the Corps to make higher than normal releases throughout the winter.
Gavins Point releases have been set on 22,000 cfs since mid-December. Normal winter release rates are near 17,000 cfs.
System storage fell as low as 56.1 million acre feet (MAF) in late January, 0.7 MAF below the base of the annual flood control pool. However, higher than normal reservoir inflows during the month of February filled up some of the additional storage prior to March 1, the typical start of the runoff season. Runoff above Sioux City totaled 1.6 MAF in February, 153 percent of normal. This was due in part to a combination of high base flows from three consecutive years of above normal runoff and also warm temperatures which melted much of the river ice, freeing up water that usually flows into the reservoirs in March.
On March 1, system storage was 56.5 MAF, 300,000 acre feet below the base of the annual flood control zone. The annual flood control zone is the desired operating zone for the system because it allows the Corps to serve all eight congressionally authorized purposes: flood control, navigation, water supply, irrigation, hydropower, recreation, water quality control, and fish and wildlife.
The forecast for runoff above Sioux City for calendar year 2012 is 26.1 MAF, slightly above the normal of 24.8 million acre feet. Mountain snowpack above Fort Peck is currently below normal at 93 percent of average. In the reach between Fort Peck and Garrison, mountain snowpack is tracking at 104 percent of average. This time last year, mountain snowpack was 110 and 107 percent of normal in the respective reaches. Traditionally, 79 percent of the peak mountain snowpack accumulation occurs by March 1.

- Water tank: Filtered water is kept in the tank and slowly released into the breadbaskets below
- Vegetables growing in breadbasket: Breadbaskets filled with porous lava stoned are used to grow vegetables. The stones and vegetables roots trap the nutrients and filter the water which then flows into the fish tank below.
- Fish droppings enrich the water with nutrients for growing vegetables
- A variety of small vegetables can be grown such as swiss chard, cows peas, eggplants, sweet peppers, etc.
- Pump: A solar powered or had pump recycles the water to the top tank, ready for the cycle to start again.
- Chickens provide meat and eggs for consumption and/or for sale. Their droppings are captured and used to feed the fish.
This unique system integrates fish, poultry and vegetable farming using recycled water. It is designed to maximise the yield of each component, whilst minimising the amount of water required. Our research has shown that Haller’s aquaponics system uses only 2% of the water conventionally needed for the same vegetable production. This is particularly important in drought-prone areas in Africa. Haller’s aquaponics system is also affordable, it is made with low cost materials that can be found locally.
We have made several changes to this initial design – in particular to the fish tanks. A revised illustration is currently being worked on.
We spoke to two residents of Cairo, Egypt, who had to live through not one but two full-blown, honest-to-God revolutions in less time than it took to make the latest Transformers sequel, about coping with everyday life once the world around you completely loses its goddamned mind.
#5. The Post-Revolution Chaos Is Fucking Terrifying
Here’s the thing about overthrowing a regime, even if the regime is full of assholes: it’s usually followed by a period where nobody is in charge. And if you think that sounds pretty sweet, it’s only because you’ve never experienced it — imagine a world where if somebody breaks into your house in a murderous rage, there is absolutely no one to call. Yep, it’s basically The Purge.
This was the case during both of Egypt’s revolutions — there were stretches of time where the cops just … gave up and left. | [

So, for the five of your left in the world who haven't heard me complain about it yet: I am moving. Tonight is my last night in my apartment before I permanently relocate to the House of Science. If I weren't so tired and covered in muck and dust and random Sharpie smudges, I'd jump up and down and yell "Hooray!"
Of course, to combine my household with that of the Man of Science I've had to downsize significantly. I didn't mind, given that I am already pretty stuff-adverse. So far my desk, couch, kitchen table, and coffee table have all been re-homed. Not to mention the piles of books and clothes that I've weeded out.
One way I got rid of stuff was to invite a bunch of friends over last week for a little "say good bye and take my stuff" party. It worked out pretty well. Lots of friends and dogs showed up and people ate, drank, watched the dogs chase each other around the living room, and even actually took home some of my stuff.
The one problem I faced that night was how to deliver on the snacks I promised in the invitation I sent out. My food supplies were dwindling and my time was fairly limited. Somehow, in the two hours between the end of the work day and the beginning of the party, I needed to come up with some kind of delicious snack food. First I looked at what I had in the cupboards.
I stared at everything for a while. Then it came to me. Panzaratti. Snacky, easy, quick, and delicious. Apparently all this packing and complaining hasn't totally ruined my brain.
Improv Vegan Panzaratti
One recipe for pizza dough. My favourite, as always, is this one.
1/2 can tomatoes, blended until smooth
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 onion chopped
1 tbsp olive oil
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
1 tbsp sugar
1 cup loosely packed spinach, chopped
1/2 cup black olives, minced
1/4 cup roasted red peppers, minced
salt and pepper to taste
sprinkle of cornmeal
Prepare the dough and set it aside to let it rise.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Heat olive oil on medium high, then add onion and garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until onion is transparent.
Add tomato sauce, nutritional yeast, and sugar. Reduce heat to medium.
When mixture begins to boil, add the rest of the ingredients. Let cook until spinach is wilted.
Let cool almost completely before filling panzaratti.
Roll pizza dough into small, flat circles. Place a spoonful of filling on one side of the circle. Fold other side over to form a half-circle and press the edges together with a fork.
On a baking sheet sprinkled with cornmeal, place all the panzaratti relatively close together. Bake for approximately ten minutes, or until dough begins to brown.
-I only had whole wheat flour left in my kitchen, so I didn't end up doing the mix of flours that the recipe calls for. Next time I would absolutely mix the flours. The purely whole wheat version of these snacks was good, but a bit on the heavy side.
-I froze all of the leftovers and ate these as lunches and snacks all this week when I had no time or utensils to cook with. This worked out very well.
-I said good bye to my beloved formica and chrome kitchen table today, but our parting was not all sorrow. I donated the table to the Raw Sugar Cafe which stands in retro splendor at the end of my street. Nadia, the owner, shares my affinity for tables of yore, and she was delighted to have my table in her cafe. She loaded me up with free hummus, tabbouleh, pita and cookies to show her appreciation. And now I can visit my table whenever I want to. | [

Most people could "stand to lose a few," whether they're above their ideal weight or just carrying too many puppies. Shed pounds with this Groupon.
$29 for a Vibration-Therapy Package ($175 Value)
After a health consultation, guests undergo seven, 10-minute sessions of whole-body-vibration therapy. During the session, patients stand on a vibrating platform that causes the muscles to rapidly contract, aiming to tone muscles and burn fat.
WaterMassage Centers use the power of water to fight chronic pain without surgery—or any invasive treatment at all. Their chief service, the HydroMassage, relies on waves and jets of heated water to ease tension and soothe muscles. This hands-free kneading allows clients to remain fully clothed. It also shuns the add-ons associated with traditional spas—aromatherapy oils, models feeding clients morsels of cheese—and focus on rehabilitation. Also, clients might accelerate their body's natural healing response through whole-body vibration therapy, which also tones muscles, increases cellular oxygen uptake, and promotes lymphatic drainage. | [

Be Like Nephi
Hi everybody! I hope you had an awesome week! Last week was great! Elder Brown and I were able to find a new investigator! We went on another tracting blitz with the Spanish elders when we found her. She’s very Christian and loves to pray. We’re excited to teach her this week! She seemed open to the Book of Mormon and a modern day prophet! I’ll let you know how the lesson goes.
Other than that I don’t have a ton to report on for last week. We had a lesson with an investigator that our High Priest Group Leader gave to us that went well! He’s struggling to remember to read the Book of Mormon so we are texting him once a day to remind him. I’m so grateful for the gift of technology! We have so many amazing tools from the Lord! I love being able to use them!
So I’ve been pondering something lately that I wanted to talk about in my email. Over the last year I’ve seen so many people who are complacent in their lives. They strive to do the bare minimum and try to find a way to get out of everything. I don’t have much room to talk because in high school I was pretty content to just do the minimum amount of work in order for me to graduate but I now see that that’s the wrong way to look at life. This isn’t just a problem in the work place and in school but also in our faith. I’ve met many people who are content to attend church when it suits them and only think about God when they need something. It’s also a problem for Latter Day Saints. I’ve seen many members and missionaries unfortunately who strive to do only that which is absolutely necessary for them. Joseph Smith once taught, “A man filled with the love of God is not content with blessing his family alone, but ranges through the whole world, anxious to bless the whole human race.” (Joseph Smith Jr.) So if we feel content in just blessing ourselves and our families then are we really changing? Are we really
trying to become like the Savior? Some people, when asked to bless others, look for anyway to get out of it. They find an excuse not to do what they’ve been asked and when a solution is presented they quickly find another reason why they can’t do the task. This doesn’t show any faith at all. It’s easy to find excuses. It’s hard to find a way to make it happen. Look at the story
from the Book of Mormon when Lehi asks his sons to return to Jerusalem to get the plates. Laman and Lemuel complain the whole time and try to find any way out of it. Nephi chooses to find a way to accomplish the task, even when it didn’t work the first few times. I want to challenge each of you to be like Nephi. When you are asked to fulfill a church responsibility instead of looking for a way out look to the Lord for a way to accomplish his purpose. I can promise you that as you do this you will feel the love of our Heavenly Father more in your life and you and your families will be blessed.
I love each of you and I hope you have a great week! | [

Integrated Circuits in Radio Astronomy
Lieferbar innerhalb von 2-3 Tagen
BeschreibungIn radio astronomy wider observing bandwidths are constantly desired to provide improved sensitivity and velocity coverage. As observing frequencies move steadily higher with advances in technology these needs become even more pressing. In order to process wider bandwidths, signal processing components that can perform at higher frequencies are required and integrated circuit approaches are an attractive way of addressing this problem. In this book a range of high speed digitiser integrated circuits are designed using an advanced InP HBT semiconductor process and their performance limits analysed. In the complementary area of analogue signal processing a range of high performance analogue multipliers are designed in InP HBT and SiGe technologies, along with an analysis of their noise limited performance. This book will be of interest to technologists involved in the design of current and future Radio Astronomical instruments.
PortraitPaul Roberts received the B.Sc (hons), B.E. and Ph.D degrees from the University of Sydney, Australia. He is currently with the CSIRO, Australia Telescope National Facility, where he works on the design and development of astronomical instrumentation and techniques.

No country in the world knows the exact total number of people infected with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19 disease. All that is known is what can be learned from the official records kept by health authorities based on the results of the tests performed. All infections that are laboratory confirmed are considered confirmed cases.
This means that the number of confirmed cases depends on the number of performed tests by country and the choice of who is going to be tested. No testing, no data. For the number of tests performed and for the results given by different test models, each country has similar, yet diametrically different views and approaches. The question is whether the numbers of patients and deaths as a result of COVID-19 from different countries can be compared at all, i.e. whether such comparisons give reliable results.
The Balkan countries do not have a consistent strategy when it comes to COVID-19 testing. Thus, almost every country says that they follow the recommendations of the WHO, but it seems that these recommendations in each country are interpreted differently. For example, in most countries in the region, postmortem tests are not performed, i.e. people who have died of other reasons are not tested for COVID-19. This was confirmed by the Macedonian Minister of Health Venko Filipče, as well as the President of the Macedonian Commission for Infectious Diseases, Dr Zarko Karadzoski. However, in North Macedonia, such postmortem tests have been performed since the beginning of the epidemic, in order, as they say, to have insight and greater control over the situation. Also, unlike other Balkan countries, in North Macedonia, a person must have two negative tests to be considered recovered.
Dr Aleksandar Stojanov, a longtime epidemiologist and recently acting director of the Center for Public Health, as well as a member of the Macedonian Commission for Infectious Diseases, says that when it comes to the number of tests performed in Macedonia one fact should be taken into account – the health policy demands that even those who died in a car accident, and then proved to be positive for the infection are recorded as COVID-19 deaths.
– Recently we had a man who hanged himself and had a positive postmortem COVID-19 test. In reality, he had died because he hanged himself, not because he was positive of COVID-19, and yet we have recorded that he had died as a result of the virus. There are traffic accidents in which people die, and if it is proven that they are positive of the virus, we record them as COVID-19 victims, says Dr Stojanov. He believes it is necessary to clear such records to get the real death toll.
– Many countries in Europe follow the principle that all those who have died outside the hospital should not be considered COVID-19 deaths – he added.
Dr Stojanov explains that when it comes to testing, states follow the general recommendations provided by the World Health Organization.
– It would be ideal if all citizens in the country were tested. But realistically, no health system can withstand it. Our laboratories could not achieve this. China has tested six million people and has a total population of 1.5 billion. Mass testing is a great option, but we do not have the chance to realize it – explains Stojanov.
In neighboring Serbia, the number of positive cases is on the rise. More than 50,000 tests were performed there last week. In the same period, about 2,500 tests were performed in Montenegro, about 2,800 in Albania, 6,300 in Slovenia, and 8,266 tests were performed in North Macedonia over one week. In fact, according to Serbian authorities, in the past week alone, Serbia has conducted two and a half times as many tests as all of these countries combined. However, this is to be expected, given that Serbia has the largest population and the highest number of registered cases of COVID-19 in the region.
In Serbia, all citizens who have symptoms of coronavirus and who have been in close contact with an infected person have the right to free testing. Testing is also mandatory for patients undergoing surgery and certain procedures, such as bronchoscopy.
From the end of May, a test can be performed on personal request, and swabs are taken in institutes and public health centers, as well as in hospitals. The personal request test costs 50 Euros and the procedure is such that the citizens first transfer the money to the given bank account, and then schedule a test at an institute, health center or hospital.
Serbians complain that in addition to waiting for the results for a long time, hospitals sometimes refuse to test them, even though they claim to have symptoms. Citizens are complaining about crowds of people and long queues in front of the COVID-19 centers where the tests are being performed.
With about 300 new cases per day registered in Serbia in recent weeks, there appear | [

His current screen GF is also an amazing vocalist, too bad being the wrong color for this show she's not in the crew credit. Actor are very talented singers, especially, Music is very beutiful. And definitely has the X-factor to give flesh to her Julia character. The misses are the younger supporting cast. When becoming members of the site, you could use the full range of functions and enjoy the most exciting films.
Maddie begins an internship at a recording studio and meets a street musician. Avery struggles producing a young YouTube sensation. Juliette meets her guardian angel. Rayna receives a stunning and generous offer from tech guru Zach Welles regarding Highway 65, but Rayna wonders if it's too good to be true. Meanwhile, she and Bucky struggle to find the perfect director for the music video that will launch the Exes' new single.
Juliette seeks treatment that is more advanced than her physical therapist recommends. Juliette considers that she might need healing of a more spiritual nature. Will and Kevin look for an apartment together. Daphne struggles with the idea of Deacon dating. Juliette introduces Avery to Darius. Maddie and Jonas record a song but Maddie finds Jonas's life too public. Will seeks to enhance his appearance.
Deacon and Jesse finally go on a date. Juliette dives head first into the self-improvement movement. Scarlett gets reminded of how her music touches her fans. For the Sake of the I Don't Want to Lose Set against the backdrop of the Nashville music scene, the new drama revolves around a year-old superstar Rayna Jaymes, whose star begins fading.
She is forced to team up with Juliette Barnes on tour in order to maintain her label's support for her latest record, whose sales have been underwhelming. Sign Up Sign In. Season 1 Show All Episodes. Chris Carmack as Will Lexington. Oliver Hudson as Jeff Fordham. This Show is a Winner! Can't wait to next week! I can't say enough about this drama. Connie Britton also produces plays Rayna James, a veteran country music star. She does a fabulous job in the rol She does a fabulous job in the role and should be getting an Emmy for it.
Hayden Panetterie whom I watched when she was on Guiding Light years ago is fantastic as Juliet Barnes, a rising star. She does a fantastic job in her role.
Powers Boothe plays Rayna's father and is brilliant in his supporting role. Eric Close is fine as Teddy Conrad, Rayna's husband. The best part of the show is that it is filmed on location in Nashville, Tennessee and it shows with landmark sites like the Ryman Auditorium, the Grand Ole Opry, the Bluebird Cafe, and others. The series shows light on the country music set, politics, and the relationships and dynamics among them.
Can't wait for the next episode! This show is a winner! I do not really know where to start on this one. The actors are not too bad but the music in the series is crappy, not even remotely good. I watched just because the Hero's blonde chick was in it, also the ad's showed a racy, sexy, and intense drama. Halfway into the first show I kept wanting to turn it off because of the bad music, second there was nothing grabbing me in just another soap opera show packaged differently.
I do not see much potential for the show but of course people will just watch it anyways, word to the producers show more of the blonde with less clothes and your ratings will jump. I had high hopes because of Connie Britton's talent. I found the plot practically non-existent and totally predictable. I know this is a series about I know this is a series about Country Music, but still, there was way too much singing and not enough acting. The music is good. The actors are talented.
But there isn't enough time to both sing and have a good plot. The only thing I can add is that I'm not a fan of "Glee" either. Maybe that helps explain my decision to not watch this again.
I hope to see Connie Britton again, in something that lives up to her talent. Very disappointed in the main character Hayden. The plot and the character of the main actor, Hayden Panettiere, is excruciating. Weak plot, and while I always liked Hayden Panettiere, her character Weak plot, and while I always liked Hayden Panettiere, her character is a disappointing shallow, selfish, temperamental, and heartless singer that will do anything to get ahead, like stealing singer from Connie Britton.
If she was a real singer, I would never see her concert knowing what kind of heartless person she really is. The writers should have written a plot with Hayden like the many down to earth | [

Abstract: In this paper, 5 Tb/s bidirectional transmission (2.5 Tb/s in each direction) over 2.2 km of OM2 fiber is demonstrated using selective excitation of four mode groups, wavelength division multiplexing, and direct detection. Twenty wavelengths per mode group are used, each wavelength is modulated using discrete multitone scheme with 1024 subcarriers with external lithium niobate Mach–Zehnder modulator (MZM). A minimum bit rate of 68.8 Gb/s per channel is obtained for a bit error rate of 3.8 × 10−2 using a 65 Gs/s digital to analog converter (DAC). Same bit rate is achieved over 4.4 km using 88 Gs/s DAC. Electroabsorption modulated laser (EML) with a 3 dB bandwidth of 18 GHz is also used in the same mode group division transmission. 1 dB power penalty is measured with the EML compared to MZM. A minimum of channel bit rate of 68.5 Gb/s over 2.2 km of OM2 fiber with the EML and 88 Gs/s DAC is reported. Therefore, we demonstrate the transmission of the same throughput over multimode fiber using a low-cost EML instead of an external MZM. | [

Forewarned and with a sense of foreboding, The Doctor races to return to Earth fearing that The Master will somehow return. He has good reason to worry since The Masters minions have in fact found a way to reconstitute him. Re-united with Wilfred Mott, The Doctor desperately tries to locate The Master only to find that he is being held by Joshua and Abigail Naismith who are using alien technology to create a new future for Earth. It's too late however, for The Master has now turned everyone on Earth into his own image. Little does he realize the greater danger that awaits them all.Written by
Donna was originally supposed to appear only in the epilogue for Part Two, giving The Doctor a chance to see that she was enjoying a good life despite losing all memory of her time with him. See more »
The Master is repairing the computer and when he is done, 12 circles are shown. When the Doctor goes downstairs to where the aliens are, a screen shows only 7 circles. See more »
It is said that in the final days of planet Earth, everyone has bad dreams. To the west of the north of that world, the human race did gather in celebration of a pagan rite to banish the cold and the dark. Each and every one of those people had dreamt of the terrible things to come, but they forgot, because they must. They forgot their nightmares of fire and war and insanity. They forgot, except for one.
See more »
The whole world is having nightmares but not Donna's granddad Wilf. The Doctor having been called by the Ood finally returns to the Oodsphere, who make a prophecy of a return of something dark, The Master, and something bigger. The Master returns, brought back by a female cult, but Lucy intervenes, seemingly sending the Master a little crazy. The Doctor meets up with Wilf, discussing his fears after the events on Mars where he played God. Millionaire Joshua Naismith and his daughter Abigail have the Master kidnapped and bound, and try forcing him to repair a piece of technology they've discovered, the Immortality Gate, but two of Naismiths' staff are aliens wanting the machinery for their own ends. Naturally being a genius, The Master takes full advantage of the technology, turning everyone into himself, not Donna, who's placed in mortal danger.
Favourite scene possibly Wilf meeting The Doctor in the Coffee shop, it's a very touching, heartfelt scene brilliantly done by both. Wasn't it nice to see some more matures actors and actresses on show.
Plots and subplots, one seeming villain, masked by another. It's a very clever plot, cleverly written. I liked lots of it, return of Donna and Lucy (only briefly admittedly,) there's a good pace, good sense of urgency. Humour is provided by The Silver Cloak, again nice to see some older talent, June Whitfield is just delightful. Talk about joy seeing the Doctor in one of my regular coffee shops (The Kardomah) so random. Wilf and The Master are both very welcome returnees.
I absolutely detest the Master's ability to jump, shoot beams and turn part skeleton, it does not work on any level. Don't really like the Naismith characters they fail somehow. Poor John Simm, his performance cannot be faulted, but the script is not so good for him, again!! I bet he had fun making it though. WHY DID HE HAVE HIGHLIGHTS!!!!
Full of flaws but full of fun, the trailer was stunning, Gallifrey was back!!

Drive.co.uk has been testing the new Mercedes-Benz A-Class this week. Read our first impressions on the new premium hatchback.
Tim Barnes-Clay enjoys the latest Mercedes-Benz A-Class A 250 AMG Line DCT
The A-Class has become sexier with each incarnation – and 2018’s Mk4 is a car oozing desirability.
It’s a classy hatch with one diesel option – the A180d. Then there are the A200 and A250 petrols. All are offered with a seven-speed dual-clutch auto. But, from 2019, manuals and more powerful engines will join the party.
The A250 I’m reviewing here gets your juices flowing tastefully. It’s got a bit of ‘oomph’ to it – as you’d expect from a car with a 224PS 2.0-litre lump under the lid.
Inside, you feel like a King, with a digital set-up that you’d expect to find in a chauffeur driven luxury limo. The brand’s clever ‘Hey Mercedes’ voice control responds well to pretty much anything you ask of it. Additionally, although the Audi A3 trumps the A-Class on rear seat space, comfort is better than that offered by the German rival. The seating and dash materials are marginally better, too – and that takes some doing! Indeed, I’d go as far to say that this Mercedes-Benz has set the bar one notch higher in the compact class.
On the move, the sporty sound the new A-Class makes is gratifying, and it’s always eager to please – especially in ‘Sport’ mode. But the hatchback delivers a calmer experience in ‘Comfort’ setting, soothing the parts that some other compact cars fail to reach.
The auto ‘box can sound a bit strained when you give the Merc the beans, but most of the time it’s a smooth operator. What’s more, the shift paddles on the steering wheel - if you want to use them - are highly responsive.
As handling and ride go, this small Mercedes is perfect for everyday motoring needs. I drove it on motorways and rural roads and felt satisfied all day. Even the potholes on the Cotswolds’ test route didn’t rain on the parade. The A-Class handled them with aplomb.
The car holds its own at 70mph, and there’s quite a bit of fun to be had when you point it at the twisty tarmac. The front-wheel-drive A-Class hunkers down, relaxes and then pings you out of the bends accurately and pleasingly. All this makes it a comfortable, easy hatchback to like and live with.
So, if sexy looks, a charming cabin, great handling and a premium-badged hatch float your boat, then the A-Class A250 comes highly recommended.
Car reviewed: Mercedes-Benz A-Class A250 AMG Line DCT - Base Price On the road £30,240 price as tested £32,635 0-62mph 6.2 secs Top speed 155mph Fuel Economy combined 45.6mpg CO2 emissions 221g/km Engine 1991cc 4-cylinder petrol turbo EU6 Max Power 224PS@5500rpm Torque 350Nm@1850rpm Transmission dual clutch man sequential auto mode

Number of bus journeys in England falls by 85m in a year
Labour says official figures show devastating impact of Tory cuts on local services
The number of bus passenger journeys in England slumped by 85m last year, according to figures that Labour said highlighted the devastating impact of cuts to local services under the current government.
According to Department for Transport (DfT) statistics, passenger journeys fell by 3.2% outside London – continuing a downward regional trend that started in 2008-09 – while bus use in the capital declined by 0.7%.
There were 4.36bn passenger journeys in England in the year to March 2018, down 1.9% on the previous year, but 4.2% lower than in 2005. At the same time, total bus mileage fell by 3.4% last year.

SpaceX booster that failed to stick Cape landing towed into Port Canaveral
The SpaceX Falcon 9 booster that met an unexpected end in the waters of the Atlantic Ocean after Wednesday's successful launch wasn't destined to stay there.
Using specialized equipment, teams on Friday towed the 156-foot-tall – 162 feet with the landing legs deployed – first stage into Port Canaveral after it launched a Dragon spacecraft to the International Space Station but was unable to stick the landing at Cape Canaveral.
SpaceX said hydraulic systems, which power the booster-steering grid fins, likely failed during the automated descent toward Landing Zone 1, causing unexpected rolls and pitches. The onboard Merlin engines were able to mostly stabilize the first stage, but not before emergency software kicked in and decided to conduct an ocean landing to avoid endangering people or buildings.
Teams worked through Wednesday and Thursday to secure the booster and pull it into Port Canaveral where SpaceX operates a facility designed to inspect first stages after landing on the Of Course I Still Love You drone ship.
SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said the booster would be salvaged and possibly used for an "internal" company mission as most customers would likely not want to fly on a seawater-damaged Falcon 9. In photos, the rocket's interstage, which connects the first and second stages, can be seen with a large crack near the top.
The Dragon spacecraft packed with thousands of pounds of cargo and science experiments, meanwhile, is expected to arrive at the ISS early Saturday morning. | [

CAIRO: Egypt’s balance of payments slid into a deficit of $5.65 billion in the politically-fraught final quarter of 2011, turning around a year-earlier surplus of $557.0 million, central bank figures indicated on Sunday.
Egypt’s economy had been hammered by a year of turmoil since its popular uprising, which scared away tourists and investors, two of the country’s main sources of foreign exchange, and triggered a series of worker strikes.
In October, November and December, uncertainty ahead of the country’s first parliamentary election since Hosni Mubarak was driven from power and an outbreak of street violence spurred a monthly outflow of foreign reserves of around $2 billion.
The country’s current account deficit for the quarter widened to $1.88 billion from a year-earlier deficit of $1.26 billion. Reuters calculated quarterly numbers by subtracting the Jul-Sep from the Jul-Dec figures supplied by the central bank.
Foreign direct investment dropped to a negative $858.2 million from a positive $656.0 million a year earlier, the central bank said.
This included $1.7 billion in net disinvestment in the petroleum sector compared to a net disinvestment of only $31.5 million in the same quarter of 2010.
Tourism receipts dropped to $2.36 billion in the fourth quarter from $3.29 billion in the same quarter of 2010.
Remittances, mainly sent by Egyptians working abroad, rose to $3.89 billion in the fourth quarter from $3.11 billion a year earlier. | [

On September 22nd, the season transitions to the Southward Equinox. Spelling the end of summer in the Earth’s Northern Hemisphere residents enter (often with reluctance) into autumn or otherwise known as fall. Having created nearly 10 months of memories in 2012, the good as well as bad moves made this year is now weighed down by a season that will turn the air colder and the shortening span of sunlight will leave us finding warm solace in positives.
In the United States automobile industry, this year has presented a field of experiences that are likewise as diverse as the feelings we have felt. With many successes with domestic and import automotive brands all seeming to have some highlight in their lineup, 2012 has also been a rough year for certain once-popular products. The present automotive landscape offers a brilliant assortment of cars, trucks and crossover vehicles that seemingly cater to every motoring appetite. The past several pasts have seen automakers getting very clever in the experimentation of size and capabilities. In case of several vehicles that have so far flopped in 2012 sales, there is a price to be paid for being too clever. Whether affected by changing American driving tastes of this year, increased competition or through other means, the first 8 months of auto sales have unveiled several vehicles experiencing a considerable drop in United States demand.
The following four vehicles are some of the more extreme examples of vehicles that have apparently lost favour in the United States:
US Sales Drop in August 2012 Compared to Previous Year Term: 36.3%
Buick survived the 2009 consolidation of General Motors firmly positioning itself between Chevrolet and Cadillac in the car brand lineup. With Buick’s popularity in the highly important China market helping to leverage promise for the 109-year old carmaker, General Motors has been making every attempt to assist regaining similar fame in North America. Released in 2011, the famous Buick moniker Regal returned in order to promote a new way of looking at the United States upscale vehicle market.
Based on the Opel Insignia sedan, Buick touted the European inspiration as a primary selling point for what would become their mid-sized car offering when the Verano was introduced this year. Connecting well with customers, 40,144 Buick Regal sedans were sold during the 2011 calendar year. Presenting eAssist technology and a GS model equipped with a 270-horsepower Ecotec engine, the 2012 model year was fall of promise for the mid-sized sedan. However, as of the end of August 2012, sales of the Buick Regal have taken a drop of almost 11,000 vehicles compared to the same time a year ago. Some of the loss in Regal sales could be the results of the slight smaller Buick Verano’s launch that has currently amounted to over 25,000 vehicles produced.
Seeking to curb sales charts back into an upward direction, General Motors has recently indicated the Regal will be one of 9 Buick or GMC models that will undergo a redesign in the next 12 months.
US Sales Drop in August 2012 Compared to Previous Year Term: 59.9%
For many years, North American buyers had been begging Japanese automaker Nissan to send the unique utility vehicle called the Cube across the Pacific Ocean. In late 2009, the wish was granted as the funky looking small Nissan Cube arrived for sale attracting a niche market status in retail and commercial arenas. However, 3 years since its arrival in North America, it appears that the Nissan Cube is now out of shape.
While the overall sales volume of Nissan North America has taken a 7.6 percent uptick, sales volume of the Cube has tanked in the first 8 months of 2012. Down 59.9 percent over the previous year, only 5,797 examples of the Nissan Cube left dealerships up to the end of August. The downward trail in sales is considered even more alarming since, like most Japanese-built vehicles, the Nissan Cube’s production was affected by the Earthquake and Tsunami.
Usually a sure-fire sign that either a major change or discontinuation awaits a vehicle, Nissan has slashed choices for the Cube in the 2013 model year. The base and Indigo Limited Edition have been removed from the 2013 lineup alongside the Cargo Version Package.
US Sales Drop in August 2012 Compared to Previous Year Term: 67.6%
The first major automaker to bring a gasoline-electric hybrid vehicle to the United States, Honda gave motorists in the Americas their first taste of high fuel efficiency driving with the three-door Insight. Abandoning the dedicated hybrid car line in 2006, Honda would reintroduce the Insight in 2009 as a five-door hatchback against arch competition Toyota began to gain traction with the Prius. One year later, an attempt to excite the image of their gasoline-electric hybrid with a three-door was revealed by Honda borrowing inspiration from the classic CR-X sport compact.

A Detection Method of the Ionosphere Anomaly in SBAS
【摘要】：In order to detect the slow varying ionosphere anomaly existing in the GNSS measurements in SBAS, an algorithm based on the carrier phase is proposed. On the basis of the analysis of the feature of ionosphere delay, the carrier-phase measurements with high accuracy is applied to reconstruct a temporal rate of ionosphere delay. Then, the temporal rate is processed by an adaptive filter to prevent it from the influence from the ionosphere anomaly. Finally, a virtual ionosphere delay vulnerable to the anomaly is established. A test variable for detecting the anomaly is set up by combining the real delay with the virtual delay and the hypothesis test method is utilized to check if there is an ionosphere anomaly. Based on the real measurements, the corresponding simulation is implemented and the results demonstrate that the algorithm proposed in the paper has a significant improvement on the detection speed. Furthermore, the effect on the estimates of the ionosphere corrections from the anomaly is greatly eliminated. | [

Besides coming with unprecedented benefits, the Internet of Things (IoT) suffers deficits in security measures, leading to attacks increas- ing every year. In particular, network environments such as smart homes lack managed security capabilities to detect IoT-related at- tacks; IoT devices hosted therein are thus more easily infiltrated by threats. As such, context awareness on IoT infections is hard to achieve, preventing prompt response. In this work, we propose MUDscope, an approach to monitor malicious network activities affecting IoT in real-world consumer environments. We leverage the recent Manufacturer Usage Description (MUD) specification, which defines networking whitelists for IoT devices in MUD pro- files, to reflect consistent and necessarily-anomalous activities from smart things. Our approach characterizes this traffic and extracts signatures for given attacks. By analyzing attack signatures for multiple devices, we gather insights into emerging attack patterns. We evaluate our approach on both an existing dataset, and a new openly available dataset created for this research. We show that MUDscope detects several attacks targeting IoT devices with an F1-score of 95.77% and correctly identifies signatures for specific attacks with an F1-score of 87.72%. | [

Introduction of TOPIC
At the end of 1830 the Tory party collapsed. This was partly due to the issue of Catholic Emancipation and the party’s attitude towards parliamentary reform. However under the leadership of Robert Peel the Tory party was gradually able to revive itself. In August 1841 the newly named Conservative party won a large electoral majority in the General Election making Peel the Prime Minister from 1841-1846. Yet, during these years Peel faced several large problems left by the disorganisation of the Whig party’s administration. These problems consisted of an economic slump, abysmal working conditions, agitation from the Ireland and pressure to repeal the Corn Laws. This essay aims to assess the success Peel had in concerning these issues.
A large area of success in the Peel’s ministry was the management of the British economy. When Peel became Prime Minister, the number of exports had decreased causing an industrial slump. Industry seemed to be at a stand still and a series of poor harvest since 1837 helped to keep the costs of bread high. In addition the Whigs had left a deficit of over 2 million. Peel aimed to encourage free trade and to help the problems of the workers. The work on free trade had already been started by Huskisson during the reign of Lord Liverpool when many tariffs were removed, yet the Whigs had not taken Huskisson work any further. With the help of the Manchester School (a group of northern industrialists) Peel came to believe that tariffs were bringing down the British Economy. He saw that import duties made raw materials (such as cotton and iron ore) more expensive and this kept production costs high. He also realised the knock on effect that this had as foreign countries less willing to trade with Britain as tariffs were too high.
Tariffs on imported foods such as corn meant it was even more difficult for the poor to buy food. Peel saw that the removal of tariffs would counter act these problems and bring down the cost of British goods abroad, increase exports, revive industry and provide more jobs as well as lowering the costs of living for the working classes. In Peel’s budgets of 1842 and 1845 Peel managed to get rid of a large proportion of remaining duties so that after 1845 duties on over 600 articles had been removed, and duties on 500 other articles has been greatly reduced. This was a successful part of Peel’s ministerial reign as these measure worked exactly as how Peel had predicted. They helped to bring about a trade revival, increase the number of exports, allow unemployment to dramatically decrease and allow food to become cheaper (although bread was still expensive due to the Corn Laws). The removals of tariffs therefore lead Britain out of the ‘hungry forties’.
Another success of Peel with the British economy was his re-establishment of the income tax. This tax has been abolished by the pressures of Tory backbenchers in 1816 due to the fact that Britain was in peacetime. However, Peel brought back the tax as a temporary three year measure in order to compensate the losses in revenue with the abolition of so many duties. However this project turned out to be so successful and profitable that Peel was able to persuade parliament to keep the income tax for a further three year period. Between the trade revival and the income tax Peel was able to turn the Whigs 2 million deficit into a healthy surplus!
However not all of Peel’s financial reforms shared major economic success. Peel’s Bank Charter Act of 1844 which was aimed to bring about a gradual safe currency system was also considered generally successful. This was because it had the desired effect of phasing out the note-issuing function of ordinary banks. This meant the Bank of England came to control the amount of currency in circulation and there was a less danger of over issuing notes.6 Therefore, the English currency to become stable and London was regarded as the world’s leading momentary centre. In contrast the Companies Act of 1844 which aimed to make all companies legitimately registered and issue to prospectuses and regular accounts was not as successful. Its chief weakness was that the act did not apply to companies that needed to get special approval from parliament (e.g. railway companies) and it was often these companies that were the worst for losing money!
The success of Peel’s ministry could also be measured in Peel’s approach to the social problems of Victorian Britain. Peel was well aware of the social problems in the working conditions of industrial Britain. In fact his father Sir Robert Peel was respons

The best solution that we've crafted (and with wich we are satisfied)
* Packet filtering on the proper tcp port & machine pairs.
* Encryption in order to avoid sniffing. In order to do this we are
using lpr/lpd for executing commands. So we have multiple queues
defined. First of all an encryption queue in the same network of the
lpr client. Then a decryption queue in the same network of the lpd
server. And finally a printing queue at the lpd server.
Our packet filters only allow communications between the encryption
machine and the decryption machine (in some cases the decryption
machine is the same as the lpd machine).
It works fine, and we feel pretty comfortable with the security (we
are using PGP for encryption and authentication).
This solution is now being used by one of our customers in order to
print across the Internet worldwide.
Any comment will be welcomed.

The government has filed a request with the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to weaken the Prompt Corrective Action (PCA) framework that imposes stringent rules on public sector banks to ensure their financial health. Banking banks were struggling to expand their lending because of the central bank's directive, aimed at keeping their stressed assets in check.
Last year, the RBI tightened the PCA standards, which increased the stress in the sector. The provision for bad loans from banks increased after reviewing the asset quality of the regulator in 2015-16. In February, the central bank published a circular with the aim of tightening up the standards that must be followed when identifying and highlighting assets.
The government wants the RBI to revise all three aspects of the PCA framework, namely net non-performing assets, minimum capital requirement and profitability criteria. At present, it can impose sanctions on banks for not complying with one of these three clauses in the PSO.
Under the regulatory framework, banks with a net NPA level of more than 6 percent, two consecutive years of negative return on assets, or those with a capital adequacy ratio (CAR) below the minimum requirement, they may be faced with penalties that affect their ability to provide new loans.
The government wants banks that show profitability in one year to be taken out of the PCA, in contrast to the requirement of two consecutive years. It also wants banks that have already made full provisions for bad assets to be removed from the PCA sphere. Banks have already taken the February February issue of the RBI, with more bad loans as NPAs.
The funding ratio (PCR) for banks for Q1 FY19 was 63.8 percent, more than 6 percentage points higher than FY15 PCR of 57.5 percent. Banks were forced to report and offer more bad loans in the aftermath of the RBI's asset quality review in 2015. The PCR is defined as the percentage of stressed assets provided by banks.
Business Standard reports that the government had sought to relax the minimum capital standards for banks. The RBI requires banks to hold a minimum capital, which is measured in terms of capital / risky assets ratio (CRAR) and the common equity tier (CET) 1. This ensures that banks do not borrow all the money they receive from savers and acts as a buffer in the case of a run on the bank.
The government is of the opinion that banks should hold CET-1 at 4.5 percent of the total risk-weighted assets (RWA), in contrast to the applicable minimum requirement of 5.5 percent. According to Basel III standards, the minimum CET-1 requirement is 4.5 percent of the RWA.
The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision published a report in 2010 specifying measures to improve the health of banks and to reduce the possibility of bank failure through random lending. It was formulated after the financial crisis of 2008, where many banks in the US went under. By switching to Basel III, banks will have more leeway in lending and capital formation.
The RBI has gradually implemented the Basel III standards in stages, with the first tranche of reforms coming into effect in April. It is expected that all Indian banks next year next March will be Basel-III compliant. The government remains challenging that the worst is over for banks in the public sector. Banks recovered Rs 36,500 crore in Q1 FY19. By getting state banks out of the PCA framework, they will be able to achieve modest growth in the coming fiscal year.
The PCA framework was first approved in 2002, but was later updated in 2017. Under the old regime the net NPA ratio had to be more than 10 percent to activate the PCA. PCA standards are currently enforced, even if the ratio of net non-performing assets (NPA) exceeds the limit of six percent. The next review of the PCA framework will take place in 2020.
State banks have fallen against the PCA standards. 11 of the 21 public banks are covered by the PSO. These include Bank of India, Indian Overseas Bank, IDBI Bank, UCO Bank and Bank of Maharashtra. The RBI has imposed new credit restrictions on Dena Bank.
By falling under the PCA, banks are burdened with the addition of new offices, dividend payments and management compensation. If the situation deteriorates further, the RBI may ask weak banks to merge with others. | [

All Guns Blazing: It’s time Arsenal fans started appreciating Oliver Giroud
- Credit: PA Wire/Press Association Images
In our weekly Arsenal fan column, Uche Amako says the record of the Gunners’ star striker speaks for itself.
Few players divide fan opinion more than Olivier Giroud.
While people’s barometer for what player is world class differs wildly, most agree that, for all of his attributes, Giroud is not at that level.
He will never be revered like Ian Wright, or make people gasp in disbelief and wonderment like Thierry Henry, or leave you open mouthed like Dennis Bergkamp when he controls a 60-yard pass with the touch of an angel. Even his most immediate contemporary, Robin van Persie, is still respected for the 18-month spell of football which made many believe he could lead Arsenal to success.
But given his limitations, you cannot disregard the clear fact that the 28-year-old is an excellent striker. His improvement since he arrived in summer 2012 has been vast.
He is stronger, more ready for the fight with defenders and less liable to be bullied. He is quicker, sharper and his improved fitness levels allow him to play the lone front man role expertly.
His touch, movement and approach play has improved every year and when you think of some of Arsenal’s best team goals in the last three years, Giroud is always there.
- 1 Seven Sisters stabbing: Three jailed over Green Lanes gang killing
- 2 Shell casings found after Islington gun reports
- 3 Covid patients in north London hospitals with Plan B rules set to lift
- 4 Disqualified driver jailed after hit-and-run involving Islington schoolgirl
- 5 Emma Thompson and Sir Ian McKellen line up to play Whodunnit detectives
- 6 How often do Londoners cycle to work in each borough?
- 7 Artisan coffee house opens in Angel Central following £16m refurbishment
- 8 Plan to extend popular Gooners pub with shops and flats
- 9 Fake Dyson Airwrap and Primark baby toy among recent recalled items
- 10 Freud's Last Session: King's Head Theatre *****
Yet none of the above matters if you can’t score goals and Giroud has undoubtedly shown he can. The stats don’t lie.
Despite missing three months through injury, Giroud has scored 13 goals in only 19 games in the Premier League, just three short of his highest tally.
His minutes per goal ratio shows he scores every 96 minutes, which puts him above Harry Kane and he is joint second for the most amount of headed goals with four.
However, the constant attempts to belittle him, the instant criticism when he misses a chance and the lack of appreciation for his development, maturity and class has bordered on insulting and at times disrespect.
What happened in the first leg against Monaco was an aberration and he has bounced back splendidly since then, showing a great deal of character after a night when he was jeered off the pitch by some sections of the Emirates crowd.
As Arsenal aim to apply pressure on Chelsea and Manchester City and retain their FA Cup, Giroud will be critical to what the Gunners achieve this season and I just hope he gets the R.E.S.P.E.C.T he deserves.

Have psychological problems that prevent you from living a normal life? We'll find a solution! 100%!
Finds out the psychosomatic cause of balance disorders, eliminates this cause, and restores the optimal position of the body in space (equilibrium).
Each course is created individually, taking into account the physical, psychological, and social characteristics of the individual.
There is no universal course of color correction. This is why it differs from drugs that are widely sold in pharmacies without regard to your body's specific characteristics!
To create it you need a consultation "Psychosomatics GREEN (written)" and "Psychosomatics GREEN (oral)". At the written (main) consultation the testing and transcription of the color test take place, and at the oral consultation the medical psychologist determines the scheme of correction of psychosomatic pathology in your case, and if this course is shown to you, it will be created based on the test results and you will start watching it!
What is a functional system that maintains optimal body position in space?
Everyone is constantly physically active. To move normally (run, swim, walk, stand, lie down, perform various manipulations with objects, communicate through speech, facial expressions, and gestures) it is necessary to constantly maintain equilibrium (optimal position of the body in space).
Body position is determined and maintained, regardless of the conditions of motor activity, by a functional system that includes:
When the body is exposed to pathogenic factors and an aggressive external environment, there are changes in the work of this system, and the maintenance of the body in space is disturbed: a pathological functional system is formed.
If the psychological state is not normalized, this state consolidates: the organs work abnormally, send signals to the brain, and the brain again sends pathological commands. A vicious circle is formed, and diseases related to the inability to maintain balance begin to develop in the body.
Who is primarily threatened by the occurrence of balance problems?
Fear has the strongest destructive effect on the maintenance of an optimal position of the body in space, its effect is intensified by sadness.
People who lack support from others and who are unsure of themselves are the most prone to the occurrence of balance problems. Fear of the future and the unknown is characteristic of them, and they are usually very afraid of death. Valuing material possessions, they, therefore, work diligently and persistently. Often tend to perfectionism. However, despite conscientiousness and diligence, these people try to avoid situations requiring increased responsibility, as they are not sure of their abilities.
They fear loneliness and strive to meet the demands of others. Often in an attempt to win love show altruism, become compliant, put on commitments that are difficult for them to cope with. This leads to overwork and a feeling of powerlessness. If they do not meet other people's expectations, they experience deep sadness. This person strives by all means to win the attention of others, so they are very dependent on their opinions. Afraid to break ties, so often forced to maintain a burdensome relationship for him. Inability to avoid unpleasant contacts enrages him, but fear of solitude makes him hide his true feelings. Such people are afraid to be harsh and strict.
Insecurity and low self-esteem often lead to conflicts with the opposite sex. The person concentrates on one social role (professional, parent) to the detriment of personal life. He or she often engages in self-criticism, feels worthless, and constantly waits for new pain. Trying to protect themselves from their worries and pain, such people withdraw into themselves and cut themselves off from the outside world. They get tired of life, begin to feel general despondency and doom, falling into depression. Against this background, diseases associated with imbalance develop especially quickly and intensively.
What diseases and in which organs of the body may develop due to unresolved psychological problems?
How does the course of color correction "Perfect Balance" work?
Based on the results of the color test the Virtual Health Scanner creates an individually calculated correction module (an individual video file, in which a personal set of color highlights in a certain sequence is recorded).
The session lasts only 15-25 minutes, but it is enough to completely normalize the mood and reduce the symptoms of the psychosomatic disease if used regularly.
During personal sessions of color correction occurs:
As a result, the body switches on additional resources of self-regeneration and starts to heal itself! Symptoms of the psychosomatic condition are reduced or cease altogether! The functionality of the affected functional system of the body is restored (or improved).
How does color correction work?
Usual pills and medications act only on the symptoms of disease, i.e. its consequences. By taking medication, you get a temporary reduction in the symptoms of the disease, but the cause remains, and at any time the disease may return. In addition, medications have serious side effects, and often some problems | [

September 1, 2021: Before sunrise, the crescent moon is near a star cluster that is visible. In the western evening sky, Venus targets Spica before their conjunction in four evenings.
A podcast of this article
by Jeffrey L. Hunt
Chicago, Illinois: Sunrise, 6:17 a.m. CDT; Sunset, 7:24 p.m. CDT. Check local sources for sunrise and sunset times for your location.
This morning, before sunrise, the moon’s tour of star clusters continues. Find the lunar crescent near the feet of the Gemini Twins. In a binocular locate the star cluster Messier 35 (also known as M 35), 1.2° to the right of the crescent. The stars Propus and Tejat Posterior are in the same binocular field.
Like the Pleiades and Hyades clusters in Taurus, M 35 is a cluster in the Milky Way galaxy. It is about 3,000 light years away.
Stars are formed in bunches. Like the Pleiades, M 35 has some bright blue stars, in addition to giant yellow and orange stars that indicate this cluster is older than the famous Taurus star cluster. According to astronomical theory, blue stars burn their nuclear fuels quicker than the sun. When the hydrogen at their cores is exhausted, they begin to burn helium, swell in size, and shine as bright yellow or orange stars, so-called red giants. The more red giants that are present, the older the cluster.
In the evening sky, Venus begins its approach to Spica before their conjunction in four evenings. About forty-five minutes after sunset, find the planet about 8° above the west-southwest horizon. It is 4.7° to the right of Spica. Each evening, notice that Venus is closer to the star.
Farther eastward, Jupiter and Saturn are in the southeastern sky. After Venus, Jupiter is the next brightest “star” in the sky this evening. Venus, Saturn, and Jupiter are visible simultaneously, until Venus sets nearly 90 minutes after sundown.
Jupiter and Saturn are in front of the background stars of Capricornus in the southeast. Saturn is 17.5° to the upper right of Jupiter. To gauge their separation in the sky, extend your arms fully. Make fists and place your thumbs together. Hold your left hand so that Jupiter is near the left pinky finger. Tilt your hands up slightly, Saturn is near the pinky finger on your right hand.
Jupiter and Saturn are retrograding, appearing to move westward compared to the distant sidereal background. This movement is an illusion as our planet passes between the planets and the sun. The backwards direction continues for the next month. Jupiter and Saturn move slower against the background stars than Venus. The changing place of Venus against the starry backdrop is easily spotted. The giant planets move slowly and a few evenings pass before their movement is noticeable with a binocular.
By two hours after sunset, Jupiter and Saturn are higher in the sky in the southeast. Use a binocular to spot the distant stars. Look again later in about a week to note the planets’ changing places compared to the starfield.
Detailed Daily Note:One hour before sunrise, the crescent moon (23.8 days after the New phase, 30% illuminated) is nearly 50° up in the east, among the stars of Gemini, 3.8° above Tejat Posterior (μ Gem, m = 2.8). None of the bright, naked-eye planets are visible at this hour, although Uranus and Neptune are in the sky. Uranus (m = 5.7) is over two-thirds of the way up in the south. It is to the right of a line from Pi Arietis (π Ari, m = 5.2) to Sigma Arietis (σ Ari, m = 5.5), 1.0° to the upper right of σ Ari. Neptune (m = 7.8) is over 23° up in the west-southwest, mixed in a starfield of 6th magnitude stars, 4.7° to the upper left of Phi Aquarii (φ Aqr, m = 4.2). The sun is in the sky for 13 hours, 7 minutes. Darkness, the time between the end of evening twilight and the beginning of morning twilight, is 7 hours, 36 minutes long. Four of the naked eye planets are in the evening sky. Mars is not visible. It is only 12° east of the sun, setting a few minutes after Civil Twilight. Mercury (m = −0.1), 24° east of the sun in heading toward its greatest elongation, is about 4° up in the west-southwest at 25 minutes after sunset. The ecliptic is tilted at a low | [

THE Fiji Development Bank’s failure to reach its target of lending 60 per cent of its funds to focused sectors and 40 per cent to the non-focused sectors has been attributed to a number of factors.
The bank’s annual report for the 2011 year stated that one of the reasons was that the loan disbursement target was not matched. In addition, the sale of the bank’s home loan portfolio did not happen. The mid-stream settlement of a few of the bank’s performing clients was also given as a reason.
The bank released its report this week, revealing it made a $2.5m profit. The FDB had aimed achieve its 60:40 focused to non focused sector lending portfolio by June 2012 through the sale of the home loan portfolio, increasing loans to the focused sector and reducing loans to the non-focused sector.
At the end of the 2011 financial year, of the $349.8m worth portfolio, 60.89 per cent was to the non-focused sector and 39.11per cent to the focused sector.
The focused sectors include agriculture, manufacturing, wholesale, retail and hotels and mining and quarrying. The non-focused sectors include building and construction, individuals and real estate.
Explaining the strategy to achieve the business plan, the FDB said one was to acquire the four largest agro processors as well as import substitution and export oriented manufacturing businesses and expand the focused sector. The FDB said it had acquired three of the largest agroprocessors so far.
“Work also progressed on feasibility studies for the creation, expansion, reinstatement of large scale commercial farms for import substitution commodities such as cattle, dairy, sheep and rice farming to name a few possible ventures.
“In comparison to commercial institutions, challenges faced by development banks are always greater because of the inherent risks that accompany the sectors invested in.
“In addition to environmental, climatic, social and economic conditions, doing business at the grassroots level must also be conducted with respect to the prevailing cultural or traditional norms that exist in the community,” the bank said. | [

We have only one earth
The French energy corporation Framatome operates the German nuclear fuel facility in Lingen through its subsidiary Advanced Nuclear Fuels. Two years ago, the state-owned French energy company EDF attempted to collaborate with the similarly state-owned Russian nuclear energy group Rosatom in a joint fuel element production venture, but those plans were scuttled following the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Framatome launched this joint venture in France, but still intends to produce fuel elements for Soviet-designed nuclear power plants in Lingen, Eastern Germany, with Russian help. Franza Drechsel and Horst Hamm spoke with scientist Vladimir Slivyak and anti-nuclear campaigner Matthias Eickhoff about why French state-owned companies are enriching Russian uranium on German soil and what implications it has for the environment, the energy grid, and European geopolitics.
The Nuclear Free Future Awards will be continued in cooperation with Claus Biegert, co-founder of the NFFA, Beyond Nuclear (USA) and IPPNW (DE).
Turkey's first nuclear power plant is due to be connected to the grid soon. We asked Özgür Gürbüz, co-founder of the Turkish environmental protection organization Ekosfer, how the Turkish public perceives the entry into the nuclear age.
Interview: Horst Hamm
When reforming the electricity market in Europe, the EU Council of Ministers decided that new and existing nuclear power plants may be subsidized by the state. Anti-nuclear activists in France are protesting against this decision. They are now hoping that the EU Parliament will stop the plans.
Anthony Lyamunda from Tanzania, Libbe HaLevy from the USA, Cécile Lecomte from France and Malte Göttsche and Irmgard Gietl, both from Germany, were awarded the Nuclear Free Future Award last year. You can meet the award winners in a Zoom meeting.
Almoustapha Alhacen on the situation of uranium mining after the military coup in July 2023.
Interview: Franza Drechsel and Horst Hamm
August 6 marks the 78th anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. The organization Humanity for Peace calls on anti-nuclear initiatives and peace groups to participate in the worldwide peace action.
Prizes were awarded at the 12th International Uranium Film Festival in Rio on May 28. The three main prizes went to Sweden, the USA and Serbia.
Anthony Lyamunda from Tanzania, Libbe HaLevy from the USA, Cécile Lecomte from France and Malte Göttsche and Irmgard Gietl, both from Germany, were awarded the Nuclear Free Future Award last year. The award winners present their work in a short film.
After the German, English, Czech, French and Italian editions, the Nuclear Free Future Foundation, together with the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation, the environmental foundation Greenpeace and the Turkish NGO Ekosfer, has now also realized a Turkish edition.
Data & Facts about the Raw Material of the Nuclear Age
Since 1998, the Nuclear-Free Future Award has honored people worldwide who are working for a future free of nuclear power and nuclear weapons.
The award ceremonies, which will take place annually at different locations until 2018, demonstrate the size and diversity of the global anti-nuclear movement. According to the German newspaper taz, this makes the Nuclear-Free Future Award the most important anti-nuclear prize in the world.
Anthony Lyamunda has been resisting the planned uranium mining and opening of uranium mines in his country for many years. "The Nuclear Free Future Award is intended to draw the attention of the world public to this problem," the jury said in its statement.
Malte Göttsche advocates for disarmament and the elimination of all nuclear weapons, and is looking for new ways for nuclear-weapon states to build mutual trust to achieve this goal. "This is a service to us all," the NFFF jury said. "We need the mechanisms to understand what nuclear-weapon states are doing, or not doing, if we are to have any chance of achieving the goals of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. Malte Göttsche is among those paving the way for that."
"Without Cécile Lecomte's commitment, the anti-nuclear movement in Germany would be much weaker and the international dimension of uranium reprocessing would be much less known in Germany," judges the NFFF jury. "Her work is all the more remarkable because she has been seriously ill for years and is confined to a wheelchair. Her commitment to a nuclear weapons-free world is exemplary."
The Nuclear Free Future Foundation
We educate about the dangers of using nuclear technology for civilian and military purposes.
A central focus of our work is the extraction of the raw material uranium, without which nuclear bombs and nuclear power would not be possible. The | [

I am saddened to hear that Gore Vidal has died - he was (as I've pointed out before) one of my favourite American cultural and political voices. In his later years, his cantankerous nature shone through, and I can only hope to be so unabashed in my own twilight.
Way back in May, I showed you a progress photo of a wrap that I was weaving. I finally got the finished project shots back from my photographer, so now I can give you the whole story.
When I was a beginning weaver, I did a lot of websurfing to look at weaving projects. Somewhere along the way, I ran across Bonnie Tarses' website, and found inspiration in her work. She was creating these pieces based on horoscopes - she would make a sort of map of the sky in the moment a person was born, and use colour and texture to indicate the position of the astrological houses and planets in that moment. I was entranced by their beauty, and although I thought it was well beyond my skill level at that point, I ordered myself a kit to make one.
Having made a lot of other things in the meantime, the horoscope shawl was always in the back of my mind, and this year when my birthday rolled around, I thought it would be a perfect time to bring this project to the head of my weaving queue.
Winding the warp was the intimidating part - it involved 12 different colours of Bambu 7, being wound in a very specific order, often with two (or three or four) alternating. It was a challenge to get it right, while keeping the cross intact and not ending up with a tangled mess of spools on the floor.
After the warp was wound, it was a relatively easy process to dress the loom (thanks to a couple of really helpful tips from Bonnie) and then the weaving itself was simple and meditative, being just a basic plain weave in one colour of Bambu 12. Throughout the weaving process, I spent a lot of time just admiring the colours, stroking it and feeling the texture of the "planets" nestled in the smooth fabric.
The finished product is a soft and colourful wrap - bamboo yarn has a great hand and drapes like a dream. As you can see, I added a band of blue to either side of the horoscope, to widen the wrap a bit, and make it a more appropriate size for me. I think it ended up just about perfect, and look forward to using it to brighten up some outfits, on dressy occasions.
It was finally cool enough for five minutes yesterday for me to put on these socks for a quick photo shoot. I finished them a while ago (and in fact am more than halfway through yet another pair of stockingette socks) and really wanted to show them off.
I know I've already shown a couple of photos of these ones, while they were in the making, but I can't help but think they're just the cutest. The colour combo is pretty wild, and the little zigzag borders just make me smile every time I see them.
There is nothing particularly remarkable to say about these, although the components of them make them great - the leftover TFA cashmere-blend yarn, the aforementioned stranded-knit zigzags, and the simple backdrop of mindless stockingette to show it all off. Love.
While the fiber arts are my main passions, I am also an aspiring DIY-er in many other fields, as well. Artisan breads and cheeses, homemade wine... I have a lot of plans, but most of them take a lot of space and/or equipment. Living in an apartment means my space is limited, and buying so much beautiful yarn has certainly limited my funds.
Some time ago I found a beermaking kit online that interested me because it was both simple and economical. Rather than expensive and spacious carboys and buckets and grainmills, this system uses a relatively small 2-gallon PET keg to ferment the beer, and that's about pretty much all the equipment I need. The smaller volume is perfect for me, too, since smaller batches mean more chances to play around and create something new.
The starter kit I got (on amazon.ca - yay free shipping!) came with two types of ready-made beer mixes, a pale ale and a golden lager - light beers are not my personal preference, but what the heck, they're nice for summer. I made the first batch (a simple American Blonde Ale) precisely according to the instructions, since that gave me a chance to get used to the process. It took me maybe a half hour to have it ready to go, and then I had to wait patiently for a couple of weeks to allow it to ferment, before I got to bottle it. After bottling, I gave | [

BARMERASOUTH AUSTRALIA’S FAVOURITE PLAYGROUND
220km NE of Adelaide
Barmera was named after the Barmera Aboriginal tribe that lived on the shores of Lake Bonney. The lake itself was named after Charles Bonney who saw it on the first Sydney to Adelaide overland trek in 1838.
Barmera, with its ideal location on the shores of lake Bonney, is one of the state’s most popular aquatic playgrounds. In summer there are boats everywhere. The Yacht Club runs weekly races, which are a great spectacle to watch from the shore. Canoeists and other boaters enjoy great fishing and sightseeing on the lake and adjoining wetlands abound with wildlife. The lake is a freshwater lake and is popular with water-skiers, windsurfers and jet ski enthusiasts, and has excellent safe swimming areas separate from the boating areas.
Barmera offers diverse dining experiences and boutique wine-tasting. Dine overlooking the lake, golf course or vineyards, the choice is yours. A family-oriented town, it boasts a Country Music Hall of Fame, and hosts an important annual country music festival. One of the few remaining drive-ins in South Australia still operates, screening current releases each weekend. Barmera’s main street harks back to the art deco era, giving the place a nostalgic character. Discover the history of the town on the Barmera Heritage Walk.
Barmera has a range of accommodation options, including hotel, motels, country club, lakeside caravan parks, a backpacker hostel, bed and breakfast, self-contained cottages and numerous lakeside camping sites.
The Cobdogla Station once covered over 200 miles of river frontage and the former homestead was located on the site of the current caravan park. The station raised pure bred horses which were used by the South Australian Police Force, the British Army in India and by the famous Australian explorer John McDougall Stuart. Today, Cobdogla is better known for its ‘Irrigation and Steam Museum’ which boasts the impressive Humphrey Pump, the only working model of its kind in the world.
Another small Riverland town,Loveday was proclaimed in 1940 and was the site of one of Australia’s largest internment camps during World War 2. The camp was built to house German, Italian and Japanese internees and prisoners of war. At its peak, the camp held 5380 as well as over 1500 Australian Military Personnel. The camps supplied a variety of products including morphine, which was made for the forces from the harvested opium poppies grown in the camp grounds.
Originally called Kingston, this town was part of the new village settlement scheme started in the 1890s. The tag “On-Murray” was added to distinguish it from the town Kingston in the state’s South East. The sizeable Kingston Estate Winery marks the turnoff to Kingston-On-Murray. The town’s shady riverbank is perfect for picnics with free barbecues, chairs, tables and toilets, and a nearby general store for provisions. One of Australia’s great explorers, Captain Charles Sturt, landed near this town on his Murray River expedition of 1830. The lookout that marks the spot also affords good scenic views.
Close by Banrock Station is an impressive project by one of Australia’s big wine companies, Hardys, to balance agricultural use and nature conservation. There’s an eight-kilometre boardwalk trail through the wetlands and an impressive interpretive and wine-tasting centre that also serves light meals. The town and surrounds have a range of accommodation, including a fleet of modern houseboats, a backpacker hostel, bed and breakfast and a caravan park.
This area is full of history covering indigenous and European occupation. The hotel was built in 1859 and is the oldest surviving building in the Riverland. It was frequented by drovers, explorers, travellers and even bushrangers. Now the hotel is licensed and provides meals and accommodation. A historical walking trail starting at the hotel covers the history of indigenous groups, European settlement and the Murray River. The limestone cliffs at Herons Bend are riddled with ancient marine life and the elusive Tasmanian Tiger is reputed to roam the area! | [

Creation105 AD - China, Cai (Ts'ai) Lun is the first to start the paper-making industry. Using mulberry bark and hemp rags with water. It was ixed and then mashed flat and the water is pressed out. It is left out to dry in the sun.
This allowed for Monks to mass produce their prayers.
Aug 1, 610
Paper spreadsIn 610 AD - After China it spreads to Korea, where the ingredients get a redesign and it's made from fibers of hemp, rattan, mulberry, bamboo, rice straw, and seaweed.
Don-cho, a Korean monk, shares his knowledge of the process with the Imperial Palace.
From there the Tibetans learned from the Chinese as well.
And the Chinese continued to introduce that process to Central Asia and Persia, where it was later transferred into India via traders.
Aug 1, 1300
Europeans Innovations14th Century - The technique for papermaking in Europe, most notably Italy, was well documented. Two italian centres, Fabriano and Amalfi, tried to improve upon the Arabian technique.
-water as power for machinery
-stamping mill for production of pulp more efficiently
-mould is wire mesh (due to progress of wire production)
-paper press with slides for feeding, this allows for quicker drying
-ropes are used to hang paper to dry
Aug 1, 1390
Germany's PaperThe first documentation of papermaking in Germany was Nuremburg councillor, Ulmann Stromer, commissioned a paper mill. It was originally designed with 2 waterwheels, 18 stamping hammers and 12 workers using one or two vats.
Paper MillsThe technology of paper mills spread quickly through Europe in the 15th and 16th century.
In Germany there were nearly 190 mills, by the end of the 16th century.
Paper mills were manned by a four-man crew.
-1 vatman, took pulp out of the vat and made the sheet with a mould.
-1 Couch Squirt, worked in tandem with vatman, placing sheets on the absorbent felt.
-1 Layman, took the still moist sheets off the felt after pressing.
-1 Apprentice, fed material into the vat and kept the heat up on a vat
Dutch PaperInvention of the Hollander beater by the Dutch, puts them out front for papermaking technology. It became more efficient than the stamping mill, and began to replace it. Creating two camps of papermakers, traditional and modern.
Moveable type increased the demand for paper, and led to a shortage of raw materials, this caused regulation by the governing the rag trade.
Flat-Screen Papermaking MachinesCreation of large operations, these "Manufactories" depended on skilled papermakers organized in craft groups. Innovations to increase production and efficiency by replacing man with machine caused more and new papermaking machines.
The first model was created by J.N.L. Robert, it was the first flat-screen papermaking machine. It was further developed in England by Donking and Fourdrinier brothers.As well as by French chemist, Claude-Louis Bertholett, who invented a chemical bleaching for pulp.
New Raw Material SearchSaxon Friedrich Gottlob Keller, invented a wood-grinding machine to produce groundwood pulp suitable for papermaking. Then Hugh Burgers and Charles Watt patented a chemical pulp for an alternative for making wood into pulp.
Fully AutomatedNot only did the papermaking process become a machine dominated business, making paper mills that could handle the increased demand on the industrial scale for paper.
The next step was improving the machines parts. Different sized papers required different sized machines.
21st Century AdvancementsContinuously evolving technology increases speed, productivity, and production quality. There was also a rise in being environmentally concious and concerned, making paper lighter, reducing energy usage and generation of biofuels.
Specialization has occured by paper makers, meaning that certain companies produce certain types of papers. | [

Ramona Threatens to Walk Off Real Housewives of N.Y.C. Reunion Special
Anticipation for last night’s Real Housewives of N.Y.C. reunion special was especially high, given the seemingly never-ending cat fights between new Housewife Kelly and the rest of the gang. But the special started with host Andy Cohen asking about all the tepid off-camera news surrounding Jill, Bethenny, LuAnn, Alex, Ramona and Kelly.
We heard about Jill’s breast reduction, and were treated to the revelation that Ramona has seen them. We heard about Bethenny’s best-selling book, and LuAnn’s new book (as well as her breakup with the Count). And then Cohen asked a question from a viewer. Huh?
Finally, the ladies got together in a room and began reviewing the gossip and Page Six items rather than getting the dirt on the juicy moments we all saw on the show. Alex spoke about being laid off, and her two new consulting jobs. Kelly spoke about her obsessive boyfriend, and started crying about her name being besmirched in the press. (That’s what upset her?) And then we went to commercial and came back to talk to Kelly more about whether or not she stole her jewelry designs from a co-worker. Yawn.
Ramona hit the spotlight next, and luckily –since she hasn’t been in the news– we finally got to bring up some show topics. Reviewing Ramona’s best moments while simultaneously watching the other Housewives’ reaction was priceless! “You know what, I’m a character, I must say,” Ramona admitted after watching her own behavior on screen.
A viewer question about Ramona’s two-faced friendships led to her revealing that she grew up in a household where her father verbally abused her mother. And some claws finally came out between Ramona and LuAnn when rehashing Ramona’s infamous comment calling the Count an “old man.” And finally we had a little levity over the question, “Does Ramona have a secret crush on Simon?” That gave Alex a laugh: “Either way, it doesn’t bother me,” she said.
Viewers apparently wrote in left and right complaining that the ladies were all shilling their products, which led the ladies to basically talk even more about their products, just before we cut to a “Silex in heat” montage! “Oh my God. They were having sex at the charity event,” Jill commented as she watched them dance in a scene from the finale.
Discussion then segued to whether Simon and Alex were qualified to be writing a parenting book. Alex explained that the book wouldn’t be a guide to parenting, but a book about the experience of parenting. “I’m writing a book on the experience of ‘non-parenting,’” Bethenny joked. Ramona then asked Alex if she ever disciplined her children, which, remarkably, didn’t get Alex upset at all! She just answered the question, and raved about the way her kids have learned not to talk bad about other (hint, hint, Ramona).
When questioned about why Ramona didn’t show for Alex and Simon’s housewarming party, Ramona gave this bizarre excuse — that it was because they weren’t serving dinner, and she always eats at 8 o’clock. What? She couldn’t grab a burger in Brooklyn somewhere? “I don’t want to eat in Brooklyn,” she added. Wow, Ramona. Way to tick off an entire borough.
We were treated to some Bethenny time next, as we looked at her struggle with dating and relationships. “I’m living a dream and I’m really so grateful,” she said, while admitting that the relationship part of her life has been less of a focus than her work.
Then Alex went straight after Bethenny’s penchant for commenting behind her back in another claws-out moment. “You called Simon revolting on your blog!” she said, asking her to tell her face-to-face next time. “Fair enough,” Bethenny responded.
Then the claws really came out, as we heard how Kelly has been describing Bethenny in the press. “With all due respect, I’m not going to take relationship advice from you,” Bethenny said to Kelly. But as the heat started rise over their past arguments, Ramona said the conversation was getting “boring” and threatened to walk off like she did during the Season 1 reunion special. How could they cut off the Kelly-Bethenny showdown! Hellooo! That’s what we all tuned in for!
Finally a diatribe from Ramona about her mean blog comments toward Bethenny led to Jill, Bethenny and Ramona all talking over each other. If we wanted to see that | [

ARISS contact with school in Bombala, NSW, Australia
An ARISS educational school contact is planned for Shane Kimbrough KE5HOD with students at St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School, Bombala, NSW, Australia.
The contact is scheduled on Thursday June 10, 2021 at approximately 10:45:26 UTC, which is 12:45:26 CEST.
The link to the ISS will be operated by the amateur radio telebridge station IK1SLD, located in northern Italy.
Downlink signals will be audible in Europe on 145.800 narrow band FM.
Moreover, operations at IK1SLD ground station will probably be webcast on https://www.ariotti.com/
Bombala is situated in the southern tablelands of New South Wales, between the Snowy Mountains and the Far South Coast. This district is known as Platypus Country for its large population of platypus.
Bombala was established as a town in the 1840’s and has a population of around 1300. Bombala farmers are recognised for their produce which includes not only wool, prime lambs and cattle but also lavender. The local economy is supported by forestry and has a softwood mill which processes the plantation timber growing in the region.
St Joseph’s Primary School is one of 56 schools in the Archdiocese of Canberra and Goulburn. St Joseph’s is a Kindergarten to Year 6 School of 62 students. Our school motto "Grace and Justice” encourages all children to develop positive attitudes towards others and those less fortunate.
At St Joseph’s we are developing skills that will equip our students for their futures. The school has a focus on developing student interest in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. We are introducing coding, robotics, Virtual Reality and 3D printing. Currently we are all learning about the universe. We have visited the Canberra Deep Space Communication Centre and now we are looking forward to talking to a real astronaut.
Students First Names & Questions:
1. Oliver: What is the process for getting up and down from the International Space Station?
2. Miller: Does zero gravity up there affect the way you are when you come back down to earth?
3. Zac: How long have you all been on the space station for?
4. Anna: What do the shooting stars look like when they go past your space station?
5. Henry: How does a satellite provide internet?
6. Grace: What made you want to be an astronaut?
7. Isaac: How do you keep warm?
8. Kobi: How long has the space station been around for/ when was it built and who by?
9. Octavia: Does outside in space always look the same?
10. Abbey: Have you seen any space junk?
11. Mrs Shannon: Thank you for answering our questions, to finish up we would like to know what advice you would give to someone who wanted to be an astronaut.

ACTIVATED SPINACH RUBISCO COMPLEXED WITH 2-CARBOXYARABINITOL BISPHOSPHATE
[RBL_SPIOL] RuBisCO catalyzes two reactions: the carboxylation of D-ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate, the primary event in carbon dioxide fixation, as well as the oxidative fragmentation of the pentose substrate in the photorespiration process. Both reactions occur simultaneously and in competition at the same active site.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01338] [RBS1_SPIOL] RuBisCO catalyzes two reactions: the carboxylation of D-ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate, the primary event in carbon dioxide fixation, as well as the oxidative fragmentation of the pentose substrate. Both reactions occur simultaneously and in competition at the same active site.
Publication Abstract from PubMed
Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (rubisco) from spinach is a hexadecamer (L8S8, Mr = 550,000) consisting of eight large (L, 475 residues) and eight small subunits (S, 123 residues). High-resolution data collection on crystals with large unit cells is not a trivial task due to the effect of radiation damage and the large number of overlapping reflections when conventional data collection methods are used. In order to minimise these effects, data on rubisco were collected with a giant Weissenberg camera at long crystal to image-plate distances at the synchrotron of the Photon Factory, Japan. Relative to conventional data sets, this experimental arrangement allowed a 20 to 30-fold reduction of the X-ray dose/exposure time for data collection. This paper describes the refined 1.6 A crystal structure of activated rubisco complexed with a transition state analogue, 2-carboxyarabinitol-bisphosphate. The crystallographic asymmetric unit contains an L4S4 unit, representing half of the molecule. The structure presented here is currently the highest resolution structure for any protein of comparable size. Refinement of the model was carried out by restrained least squares techniques without non-crystallographic symmetry averaging. The results show that all L and S subunits have identical three-dimensional structures, and their arrangement within the hexadecamer has no intrinsic asymmetry. A detailed analysis of the high-resolution maps identified 30 differences in the sequence of the small subunit, indicating a larger than usual heterogeneity for this nuclear encoded protein in spinach. No such differences were found in the sequence of the chloroplast encoded large subunit. The transition state analogue is in the cis conformation at the active site suggesting a key role for the carbamate of Lys201 in catalysis. Analysis of the active site around the catalytically essential magnesium ion further indicates that residues in the second liganding sphere of the metal play a role in fine-tuning the acid-base character and the position of the residues directly liganded to the metal.

• This Week in Nantucket History – by Amy Jenness – author of On This Day in Nantucket History, available at Mitchell’s Book Corner •
In an Inquirer & Mirror article on bicycling, Max Wagner wrote on June 13, 1896, “The miracle that the bipede has wrought all over the civilized world has probably been nowhere more pronounced than on this beloved sand heap of ours, that the world generally knows as the island of Nantucket.”
The first bicycles arrived on Nantucket in the 1880s and were so heavy few people wanted to ride them. Wagner noted they, “must have weighed seventy or eighty pounds, and would probably shy its rider into the gutter as quickly as would a bucking bronco.” Gradually the bicycles got lighter and by the early 1890s four Nantucket men purchased the lighter weight Eagle and started the island’s love affair with bicycles.
Wagner was one of them and wrote, “After a little practice the four of us could go down Federal Street abreast, though we had to drop back into single file to turn around. This maneuver we used to repeat many times, and the whole town turned out to watch us.”
Within a week 12 more Nantucketers had purchased bicycles and the new riders formed a bicycle club called Weeweeders. Soon the newspapers ran weekly items naming those who were taking up “the wheel.” In 1891 an editorial urged visitors to bring their bicycles to Nantucket. By 1896 there were six bicycle clubs, with the Weeweeder Cycle Club being the largest.
Beginning in 1893, the Weeweeders hosted autumn bicycle races at The Fairgrounds and at the County Fair. In 1894 the club offered a parade and race at the roller skating rink on Thanksgiving, which the Inquirer & Mirror described by saying, “Each of the wheels was trimmed with bright colors, and the effect was very charming. The parade was very well done and brought forth applause.” When the bicycles races concluded, Barrett’s Orchestra began to play and the crowd danced until 1 a.m.
An increase in mishaps caused town voters to create a law in 1894 that fined bicycle riders twenty dollars if they didn’t have a bicycle bell when they were riding faster than ten miles an hour, riding at night or on the sidewalk.
In 1895 Weeweeder member Eugene Burgess opened a bicycle shop on Federal Street and built a quarter mile racetrack on Orange Street near the current Marine Home Center. Opened on the eve of a three-day centennial celebrating the town’s name change from Sherburne to Nantucket, Burgess named his sporting center Centennial Park. Soon island cyclists were competing against each other there and travelling to race off island.
All over the country people embraced the bicycle boom. In 1897 the Inquirer & Mirror ran an article under the headline “Bicycle Crowds Out The Accordion” which reported that declining sales of accordions and other musical instruments could be attributed to the sharp increase in bicycle sales. The newspaper ran other articles about inventions designed to make bicycles useable on railroad tracks, a “trolley bicycle” that connected to wires overhead and hung suspended over the street, a “bicycle boat” powered by three cyclists and an adventurous California man who outfitted his bicycle with a mast and sail.
Road tarring and improvements made cycling easier, and by 1900 the town had created paths for cyclists in Surfside, ‘Sconset, and Cliff Road. In 1918 voters narrowly defeated a controversial ban on automobiles and soon cars, horses, and bicycles shared Nantucket’s narrow streets. Yet people still enjoyed their bicycles, and bike races continued to be a highlight of island life into the new century. The newspaper noted a renewed interest in bicycling beginning in the late 1930s and lawmakers debated requiring cyclists to register and install headlights. The manufacture and sale of bicycles was banned by the US government during World War II and when they were once again available in 1945 the island experienced another bicycle boom.
In 1957, Nantucket’s representative to the state Legislature, Robert F. Mooney, submitted a bill asking the Massachusetts Public Works Department to build a bike path on Nantucket, noting the island had more the 4,100 registered bicycles. If the bill was approved, it would create the country’s first state-funded bicycle path.
As the Senate Ways and Means Committee debated the idea, Dr. Paul Dudley White, President Dwight Eisenhower’s cardiologist, wrote Mooney a letter saying that, if his bill was passed, he would like to participate in the first bicycle ride on the new Nantucket path.
The following year in August Dr. White and State Representative Mooney were joined by 25 bicyclists as they made the inaugural run on the Milestone | [

In addition to our Share the Bounty gleaning program, where our volunteers will pick up surplus backyard produce, we also have a program for farms to donate their excess produce. The West Marin Glean Team has harvested 73 pounds of kale, 450 pounds of apples and 20 pounds of pears that were shared with various recipients in West Marin - and we are just getting started! We look forward to expanding this program to help more people facing food insecurity and keep more perfectly good produce from going to waste. Fill out a form to request a harvest. If you'd like to become a gleaning volunteer, sign up to join our team! | [

I am Ki'Dasa, a Servant of Light. I have been labeled: White Witch, Bodhisattva, Angel, Lightworker, and Mage. None of these titles are incorrect. In my experience, the Divine manifests in all forms. The various Faiths/Paths/Religions are but various ways of "pointing out" the Divine to Seekers. The Practices of the different Paths are merely Techniques that teach one how to sense/communicate with one's Higher Self, which allows one to manifest Divine Will.
Organized Religion (the big 3: Christianity, Judaism, Islam) tends to focus on Faith in the Divine. This hyper-focusing is primarily due to the fallacy that we are separate from the Divine Source. We, and everything else in Existence, are manifestations or Aspects of the Divine Source. There is no separation.
Eastern Traditions focus more on Mastering the Self. Consciously controlling one's Self allows one to Purify the Mind and Body. Purity of the Spirit naturally follows. Being Pure in Spirit allows one to be Aware of their innate connection to the Divine Source.
Spiritual Paths, those whose Practitioners Consciously work with the energies of the Universe, focus on receiving and serving one's Purpose. The Techniques used range widely, from personal Ki (energy) manipulation to Invoking Aspects of the Divine Source to communication with Guides/Spirits/Angels to developing/mastering "psychic" Talents to Healing and High Ceremonial Magicks.
That being said, I consider myself to be a Spiritual Tour-guide. I was raised in a Christian household. I was "formally" introduced to "alternative" spiritualities upon starting college. My fascination with the Mind led me to study and work with Eastern Practices.
Over the past 20 years of my Spiritual Journey I have attained the skills of a Spiritual Counselor, Reiki Master Teacher, Enchanter, Universal Energy Manipulator, developer of Tamashii (Soul) Reiki and purveyor of Spiritual knowledge through workshops and lectures.
The Services I offer are: Healing, Intuitive Counseling, Tarot, Cleansing of homes/items/persons, removal of unwanted entities/energies, catalyzing stagnant energies, Merkabah Activation, Spiritually and Magickally focused workshops and lectures. I also create hand-made enchanted items (dream catchers and jewelry) for purposes of: Protection, Healing, Cleansing and Balancing the 32 Chakras as well as Guidance in specifically requested issues.

Here at Hall Analytical, we strive to deliver sector-leading product data and support to assist our customers with regulatory submissions in global markets. We’re fully committed to the continuous improvement of our analytical capabilities, through ongoing R&D projects and investment in the latest equipment for ENDS/HTP aerosol collection and analysis.
We recently introduced an advanced collection technique for analysis of metals in the aerosol generated by ENDS and HTPs to our laboratory. The collection system is called an Electrostatic Precipitator (EP) and it demonstrates significant advantages over standard filter pad collection methods.
What are the benefits of Electrostatic Precipitator (EP) systems over standard filter pad collection methods?
One of the major benefits is increased sensitivity. Metal aerosol emissions, particularly those emitted from ENDS, tend to be at very low levels. Less sensitive detection methods can result in laboratories reporting no metals detected in emissions. However, if the sensitivity of the detection method for metal analytes of concern is insufficient, then national regulators may question if the submitted data demonstrates that the product is appropriate for the protection of public health. Our preliminary testing of the EP system has demonstrated a significant reduction in target metal detection limits. We’ve also noted several major benefits of the EP system compared to standard filter pad collection. As the EP collection tube is a closed system, the potential for metal contamination is minimized compared to filter pads which require insertion and removal from the holders at the beginning and end of the aerosol collection experiment. The system set-up also enables collection without handling of the samples and allows us to collect significantly more Aerosol Collected Mass (ACM) when compared to filter pad collection. The ability to collect more ACM increases the sensitivity of the method on a per gram basis.
Why is this important?
Our clients are fully committed to supplying the highest quality reduced-risk products to markets around the world, enabling current and former smokers to switch to less harmful non-combustible nicotine-containing products. The science of ENDS and HTP analysis is constantly evolving, and our clients are keen to employ the latest analytical techniques to generate comprehensive data on their products. With the FDA’s scientific review of filed PMTAs well underway, Centre for Tobacco Products (CTP) scientists will be reviewing the quality of submitted HPHC data, including the sensitivity of analysis methods employed by the test laboratory. Hall Analytical is ready to assist with responses to any deficiency letters issued by the FDA CTP following a review of the data in your PMTA.

Along with a lower operating margin, a miss on gross revenue estimates for Q4, 2013, and weaker Mac sales, Apple’s Q4 2013 quarterly report included mention of a substantial miss of 6% against estimated iPad sales. Analysts estimated 15 million units sold for this product, but Apple sold 14.1 million units. Q4 2013 marks the second consecutive quarter of a miss on this product line. In Q3 Apple sold 14.6 million iPads.
What bearing, if any, do weaker iPad sales have on the market for PC computers? While I don’t want to veer into an attempt to correlate sales of these two products, I do have some thoughts on the topic. The lower than expected drop in PC chip sales reported by Intel, Microsoft’s report of better than expected sales of their PC O/S, together with this reported drop in tablet sales are worth strong consideration. I’m confident there is a floor for PC sales (there are some applications requiring PC computing power. These applications cannot be replaced, at least for the near future, so they can safely be considered part of the “flooring” below PC computer sales). I wouldn’t be surprised to see some reports of an uptick in PC computer sales in coming quarters.
As I wrote earlier, supporting the iPad with a 64 bit O/S is, in my opinion, overkill. There is no need for a 64 bit O/S when most consumers will use the device to watch video, or to listen to music. One can argue there is a rationale for 64 bit O/S for gaming, but the proportion of the consumer market buying tablets to play high end video games is not likely to be substantial. So I do not hold the opinion the 64 bit O/S will make for a substantial improvement in sales of these products anytime soon.
I would look more favorably on Apple opting to service the lower end of the tablet market with a device at a price accessible by consumers in emerging markets. But this type of move doesn’t look to be in the offing anytime soon.

Abstract of Title
A historical summary of all the recorded transactions that affect the title to the property. An attorney or a title company will review an abstract of title to determine if there are any problems affecting the title to the property. All such problems must be cleared before the buyer can be issued a clear and insurable title.
A loan provision giving the lender the power to declare all sums owing lender immediately due and payable upon the violation of a specific loan provision, such as the sale of the property, or the failure to make loan payments on time.
The addition to land through natural forces like wind or water.
Example: deposit of soil carried by a river
Agreement of Sale
A written signed agreement between the seller and the purchaser in which the purchaser agrees to buy certain real estate and the seller agrees to sell upon terms of the agreement. Also known as contract of surrenders his assets to the bankruptcy court. An individual typically files for Chapter 7 (all debts wiped out) or Chapter 13 (establishes a payment plan to pay off debts). A bankruptcy stays on an individual's credit report for 7 years.
The person who receives or is to receive the benefits resulting from certain acts.
Example: The lender is named as the beneficiary on a mortgage loan.
Example: John has a life insurance policy for $100,000 with Jane as his beneficiary. Should John die - Jane will receive the benefits i.e. $100,000.
Definition #1: A title insurance binder is the written commitment of a title insurance company to insure title to the property subject to the conditions and exclusions shown on the binder.
Definition #2: Preliminary agreement, normally secured with earnest money, between a buyer and a seller as an offer to purchase real estate
A mortgage which requires 1/2 the normal monthly payment every two weeks. Over the course of the year, 26 half payments are made which is equivalent to 13 full mortgage payments. As a result of this extra payment the loan amortizes much faster than a loan with normal monthly payments.
A mortgage covering more than one piece of property.
Example: A developer subdivides a tract of land into lots and obtains a blanket mortgage on the whole tract.
1. A debt instrument in the capital markets. The U.S. government, corporations and municipalities use bonds to raise money. Bonds can also be backed by mortgages. The best known bond is the 30-year treasury bond issued by the U.S. government.
2. A sum of money given to a court to guarantee against a loss. For example if there is a lien on a property, the owner may remove the lien by posting a bond.
One who applies for a loan secured by real estate and is responsible for repaying the loan (mortgage).
An interim loan typically used when the buyer is unable to sell his/her house but needs money to close the transaction on the house he/she is buying. The bridge loan is made on the buyers current residence to finance the buyers new residence. The loan is paid off when the buyers current residence is sold.
Obtaining a lower interest rate (buying down the rate) by paying additional points to the lender. The lower rate may apply for the full duration of the loan or for just the first few years. A buydown may be used to qualify a borrower who would otherwise not qualify. This is because a buydown results in lower payments which are easier to qualify for.
Example: A very popular buydown is the 2-1 buydown. If the interest rate on the note is 9%, the buydown results in the rate being 7% (9%-2%) for the first year, 8% (9%-1%) for the second year, and 9% thereafter.
An agent hired by a buyer to locate a property for purchase. The broker represents the buyer and negotiates with the sellers broker for the best possible deal for the buyer.
Market conditions that favor buyers i.e. there are more sellers than buyers in the market. As a result buyers have ample choice of properties and may negotiate lower prices. Buyers markets may be caused by an economic slump or overbuilding.
A set of regulations by which an organization conducts its business.
Example: A condominium association prepares bylaws that state the minimum number of owners to conduct a meeting to decide policies.
Profit earned from the sale of real estate. A seller may defer taxes on the capital gain of his/her primary residence by buying a higher priced residence within 2 years.
The amount of cash derived over a certain period of time from an income-producing property. The cash flow should be large enough to pay the expenses of the income producing property (mortgage payment, maintenance, utilities, etc.).
A legal term meaning "let buyer beware". The buyer must examine the property and buy at his/her own risk.
Example: A property may be offered in an "as is" condition with no | [

QoS-driven optimisation of composite web services: an approach based on GRASP and analytical models
August 7, 2013 Editor 0
Development of applications based on the composition of web services is growing for a large range of domains. Due to the concurrency and synchronisation characteristics of some applications, analytical modelling is helpful for planning and predicting the quality-of-service (QoS) measures of the composite services. This study proposes an optimisation method adapted from the greedy randomised adaptive search procedure (GRASP) and integrated with analytical model solving to find service providers, which will leverage the performance and reliability of a composite web service. The proposed approach finds solutions close to the best-known configurations and is computationally efficient, enabling the fast discovery of a high-quality assignment of providers even for large scenarios with thousands of possible combinations.

The MODerate resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instruments on-board the Terra and Aqua spacecrafts were launched on December 18, 1999 and May 4, 2002, respectively. Each instrument has been scheduled to view the Moon through its Space View (SV) port approximately once per month in order to monitor the long-term radiometric stability of their reflective solar bands (RSB). The lunar calibration has played a key role in tracking the change in the response versus scan angle (RVS) of the instrument’s scan mirror, which is an essential part of the RSB calibration. The lunar irradiance observed by MODIS depends on the view geometry and it is crucial to remove the geometric effects in order to derive accurate RSB calibration coefficients. With a scheduled roll maneuver, the lunar phase angles are kept in a narrow range of 1° for each MODIS instrument such that the impact of these geometric effects is minimized. Nevertheless, it remains a challenge to completely remove the impact of geometric effects in the calibration coefficients derived from the lunar observations, considering the high expectations for the accuracy and quality of the results. In the current MODIS lunar calibration, the geometric effects on the lunar irradiance are corrected by the RObotic Lunar Observatory (ROLO) model. The overall relative uncertainty of the ROLO model for the MODIS calibration has been assessed to be about 1% in the selected lunar phase angle range of 1°. It could be as large as 4% beyond this small phase angle range, especially for the shortest wavelengths. This uncertainty induces noticeable oscillations in the calibration coefficients derived from the lunar observations. We developed a simple lunar model, which is based on MODIS lunar measurements, derived from scheduled lunar observations, as well as those obtained from intrusion of the Moon in the SV, referred to as unscheduled lunar observations, in the time period from 2005 to 2012. Here, the scheduled lunar observations for the entire mission are reprocessed with the new lunar model applied to correct the view geometry effects for each MODIS instrument. New calibration coefficients for the RSBs are calculated. We show that oscillations and noise in the derived lunar calibration coefficients are significantly reduced for both MODIS instruments. | [

TEHRAN (Iran News) – While the Republic of Uzbekistan is getting ready for holding the presidential elections on October 24, the country’s ambassador in Tehran Mr. Bakhodir B. Abdullaev in a press conference at the embassy briefed the reports about the upcoming political event in Uzbekistan.
Abdullaev said everyone knows that on October 24, 2021, an important political event will take place in the life of the country and the people of Uzbekistan – the election of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan.
He added that over the past five years, major changes have taken place in the national electoral legislation. According to leading international experts, in the new Uzbekistan, the gradual improvement of electoral legislation and the practice of holding elections have reached a qualitatively new level.
It should be noted that the upcoming elections will be held for the first time according to the Electoral Code of the Republic of Uzbekistan, adopted in 2019. It embodies all the systems and mechanisms for citizens to exercise their rights to participate in the socio-political life of the country by voting.
The holding of free and fair, open and transparent elections in compliance with the principle of periodicity is evidence of the country’s choice of the path of democratic development, the ambassador added.
He said that since Uzbek population is young, it is estimated over 20m people are eligible to vote, reiterating that everybody is free to vote to whom he likes.
“The frequency and compulsory nature of elections are reflected in the legislation of Uzbekistan. For example, in accordance with Article 90 of the Constitution of the Republic of Uzbekistan, the President of the country is elected by the citizens of the Republic on the basis of universal, equal and direct suffrage by secret ballot for a period of five years,” he noted.
In accordance with the above requirements, elections of the President of the Republic and the representative bodies of state power must be held every five years.
The Central Election Commission adopted a resolution “on determining the date for holding elections of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan and announcing the start of the election campaign” dated July 23, 2021.
Currently, the Central Election Commission, as well as election commissions of all levels, have organized work on the preparation and conduct of presidential elections on the basis of the principles of legality, independence, honesty, openness, transparency and publicity, Mr. Abdullaev said.
For these purposes, the work of the Press Center of the Central Election Commission of the Republic of Uzbekistan and its regional branches has been organized.
On September 15, the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR) opened its mission to observe the presidential elections in Uzbekistan. This is the 400th mission since the establishment of the ODIHR 30 years ago and the 9th mission of the election observation bureau in Uzbekistan.
The Mission to Uzbekistan consists of 11 experts from the core team based in Tashkent and 28 long-term observers, who began their work in all regions of the country from 24 September. The ODIHR also plans to organize an invitation to Uzbekistan for 250 short-term observers from the OSCE participating States, who will arrive a few days before the elections.
During the observation, the mission will assess the compliance of the elections with Uzbekistan’s OSCE commitments, other international obligations and standards for democratic elections, as well as national legislation.
Observers will monitor key aspects of the elections, including voter registration, campaigning, election commissions and relevant government agencies. The mission experts will analyze the electoral legislation and its implementation, as well as issues of resolving disputes related to elections.
Observers from about 50 countries and dozens of international organizations such as the CIS, SCO, ECO, APA and many others are expected to take part in the upcoming elections.
These elections are a very important political event for the people of Uzbekistan, which provides answers to key questions about the future development of the country.
In preparation for the presidential elections, it is planned to create 54 polling stations in 38 states at the embassies and consular offices of Uzbekistan, as well as 316 additional mobile polling stations in 128 cities, including in 11 states where there are no diplomatic missions of Uzbekistan.
At present, a polling station No. 53 has also been created at the Embassy of the Republic of Uzbekistan in Tehran, which is ready to receive all citizens of Uzbekistan living or temporarily staying in the Islamic Republic of Iran on the day of presidential elections, he added.
The Embassy of the Republic of Uzbekistan in Tehran is carrying out all the necessary preparatory work for holding these elections at a high level, the ambassador said.

The method of Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) has increasingly gained popularity, as it directly captures a major part of the unsteady vortical motion in a turbulent flow field. The uncertainty of turbulence modeling is thus limited to the unresolved sub-grid scales (SGS). This makes LES a highly attractive method for predicting flow-induced sound sources for use in hybrid Computational Aeroacoustics (CAA). The possible sound emission generated by turbulent motion is of growing importance in the design of flow-guiding components. This is especially the case in electric vehicles, where the masking noise of the combustion engine is absent and limited space in the vehicle’s engine compartment may lead to unfavorable flow conditions.The present study performs incompressible LES to predict the turbulent flow field of a 90° circular pipe bend. The computational results are compared against experimental data from dedicated measurements and existing numerical solutions in literature. The predicted instantaneous flow field is used to evaluate acoustic source terms for different acoustic formulations, such as Lighthill’s acoustic analogy and the Perturbed Convective Wave Equation (PCWE). A special focus is on the sound generation in the separated flow region at the exit of the bend. | [

800CashToday offers the best benefits for selling your Tennessee home to us, including the following:
Help improve your credit score with three months of credit repair service paid for by our Tennessee house buyer.
Hire professional movers to move you locally, and we will cover the costs or give you a long-distance moving credit to hire long-distance movers.
Get up to $10,000 when your closing will not be for at least 30 days to use on whatever you want.
You can close as soon as seven days when you accept your cash offer within 24 hours, or pick another date.
Our cash buyer in Tennessee works with you to ensure the selling process is simple and easy without you having to worry about added costs like commissions and repairs.
Move when you want to move, even after closing. Just let our home buyer know what works with your schedule.
When we buy houses in Nashville or elsewhere in Tennessee, we make the process very easy:
1. Fill out our online form or call us at 1-800-CashToday (800-227-4863).
2. Our Tennessee home buyer team will arrange a time to walk the property with you and give you a no-obligation cash offer.
3. Decide to accept the cash offer and sell your house as-is when you want to sell your Tennessee property fast and close within seven days, or decline the offer; it’s entirely up to you.
No other buyer provides you a complete solution of products to ensure all your needs are met. We truly are the best way to sell any property, in any condition, anywhere.
No other buyer offers...
"Now house buying and selling is easier than ever"
"America is learning how to sell homes fast"
"Home selling is now simple and predictable"
"Receive a cash offer tomorrow"
"Online homebuyers closing Realtor gap"
"Ready, click, sold. It's that easy"
Nearly all of our sellers came to 800CashToday asking us “What are the options when you are selling your house as-is?” With 800CashToday, the process of selling a house that needs repairs is simple. However, there are a few options when selling a house that needs work.
Realtors generally don’t like selling ugly houses due to the stigma that comes with it and higher chance escrow falls through due to buyer inexperience or other financial setbacks. Realtors will often suggest repairs that are expensive and time-consuming, and you take the risk of losing money for the higher sale price that does not cover your additional repair expenses. These costs will be in addition to the realtor fees for selling a house.
You can always try to sell your house yourself. For Sale By Owner (FSBO) is a good option if you’re looking for a low-cost way to sell your house, but you’re left to fend for yourself against perhaps unscrupulous buyers. You could handle all repairs, cleaning, open houses, and other tedious tasks if you’re feeling up for the challenge.
The other option is to connect with a local house buyer who buys houses for cash in any condition and can close in as little as seven days. 800CashToday investors understand the cost of doing repairs, the repair surprises, and the financial risks involved, so they can make the highest cash offer possible and have a great track record of always closing escrow on time.
Get a fast cash offer for your old house, in any condition, anywhere. No equity is okay too.
No fees, showing or repairs... and move when you're ready!
We are nationwide. Our local Tennessee house buyer wants to buy your home in Nashville, Knoxville, Memphis, Chattanooga, and elsewhere in the state. We are a professional home buyer and are here to help you sell your house for cash.
Yep! We buy condos, townhouses, duplexes, multi-tenant buildings, mobile homes, and any house in as-is condition. Whether your house needs simple cosmetic touch-ups or has serious foundation issues, our cash buyer in Tennessee wants to buy your house.
We follow a simple process to maximize convenience:
When we open an escrow that is going to be 30 days or more, we can lend up to $10,000 for immediate financial relief.
We buy houses in Tennessee in any condition and for any reason. You can get an offer from our cash home buyer and close in as little as 7 days when you accept your cash offer within 24 hours. Or you can take longer and choose when you want to close.
We buy unwanted homes, fixer uppers, inherited properties, condos, townhomes, multi-family homes, rental properties, and more in any condition. We will also help you avoid foreclosure or giving your house back to the bank if you have filed chapter 7 or chapter 13 bankruptcy | [

In an online briefing, Tim Manning, the National Supply Chain Coordinator for COVID response, told reporters that these companies could produce another 61 million at-home tests by the end of the summer. Manning declined to identify the manufacturers, citing ongoing contract negotiations; however, said more information would be available in the next few weeks. “Six (6) more companies will surge manufacturing of at-home testing with the goal of by summer having millions of Americans being able to access at-home tests at a multiple of what we talked about on Monday (in February),” added Andy Slavitt, Senior Advisor to the administration’s COVID-19 Response Coordinator. “It won’t be easy and it’s not happening overnight, but today’s announcement represents another step on the long journey to get back to normal life.”
The Biden administration also plans to use the Defense Production Act (DPA) to build factories to make nitrile-butadiene rubber, a synthetic rubber needed to manufacture nitrile surgical gloves, which are in short supply. The federal government will help build factories to manufacture the gloves in the U.S. and expects to produce more than 1 billion gloves by the end of the year, according to Manning. “Right now we just don’t have enough gloves,” he said. “We are nearly 100% reliant on overseas manufacturers to export to us our country’s surgical gloves that protect healthcare workers. That’s unacceptable and we’re using all of our authorities to fix it.”
The Biden Administration is also using the DPA to provide Pfizer with more equipment and ingredients for COVID-19 vaccine production, Manning said. The DPA will give Pfizer first access to filling pumps and tangential flow filtration skid units, “critical components Pfizer needs to manufacture the COVID vaccine,” he added.

Researchers at Princeton University in New Jersey, working with colleagues at the University of Washington in Seattle, have developed an all-optical atomic magnetometer more sensitive than superconducting quantum interference devices where sensitivity typically ranges from 0.9 to 1.4 fT Hz-1/2.Michael V. Romalis at Princeton said the optical system demonstrates magnetic field sensitivity of 0.54 fT Hz-1/2 with a measurement volume of 0.3 cm3. It can reportedly detect a magnetic field as small as 0.5 fT with 2-mm resolution. He believes that this sensitivity and spatial resolution, combined with the fact that cryogenic cooling is not needed, as in the superconducting devices, could facilitate its use in biomagnetic imaging of the brain and other organs, as well as applications to test fundamental symmetries of nature.An all-optical atomic magnetometer developed at Princeton offers sensitivity and resolution competitive with superconducting quantum interference devices, but without requiring cryogenic cooling. Atomic magnetometers measure the Larmor precession of spin-polarized atoms in a magnetic field. All-optical devices do this in three basic steps, which Romalis said could occur simultaneously. In simplest terms, atoms within a test cell are polarized by the pumping laser beam. Under an applied magnetic field (the one to be measured), they change their spin direction. This is One common problem with all-optical atomic magnetometers has been that of spin-exchange collisions, whereby collisions between atoms cause their depolarization. In the spin-exchange relaxation-free magnetometer developed at Princeton, researchers resolved this issue by using a very high density of atoms so that the atoms do not have enough time to depolarize in the short time between collisions. The researchers also add a dense helium buffer gas to the vapor cell. This slows any diffusion of the alkali atoms and, combined with spatially resolved optical detection, allows measurement of localized magnetic fields.Romalis said the optical atomic magnetometer is still in an early development stage, so there are a variety of possible ways to tweak its efficiency. The scientists are working on setting up a system to image magnetic fields generated by the brain that will use a two-dimensional photodiode array with 256 elements. Because the thermal magnetic noise produced by the brain is on the order of 0.1 fT Hz-1/2, further noise reduction of the optical magnetometer is still necessary. If the researchers succeed in doing this, they believe the device could enable noninvasive studies of individual cortical modules in the brain. | [

Danielle Christiansen – Tribute
My husband and I took our 6-year-old daughter to the ER because she seemed lethargic and her coloring was off. With virtually no symptoms and perfect vitals, we were told that dehydration was a common side effect from the flu going around and she was given some fluids. (Sepsis and Influenza) We happily awaited the promise that in no time, we’d see her feeling better – 30 minutes later, my daughter screamed that her chest hurt and immediately stopped breathing.
Code red set in and I can’t even begin to describe the scene of horror taking place on my daughter’s body at this moment and our utter shock at even considering the concept of what was taking place.
Life flight arrived to take her to Primary Children’s. The Primary Children’s doctor called us about five minutes after the med team landed (as we raced to get to her with only the hope of a miracle flickering). We pulled off the highway to hear exactly what he was about to say.
It had been one and a half hours since she first coded. For one and a half hours of the most heartbreaking moments of my life, they tried to bring my daughter back. But to no avail. There was nothing more they could do and he was calling her death at 12:25pm (only about two and a half hours after we first arrived at the hospital that morning).
No one knew how she had died. No one had a single answer for us. Sepsis due to influenza (her final cause of death) was not mentioned once. An autopsy was ordered and the medical examiners could only pick up on the influenza type b in their panels. So they sent her samples to the CDC. Almost 9 months after my daughter died, we finally got the call to finally explain how she died. She had a sore throat that showed no traces of infection in all the medical examiners panels, but the CDC was able to break down her tissues on a molecular level and identify traces of bacteria sourcing from her trachea. With the flu disabling her immune system, the bacteria crept into her blood stream with literally zero resistance from her immune system. Septic shock set in quickly and her entire system failed overall in a domino effect of shutdowns.
Her primary cause of death: treachobronchitis
Her secondary cause of death: Influenza type b
The mechanism of her death: Sepsis / Septic Shock
As a mother, if I would have been aware of what the symptoms of sepsis looked like, I could have demanded they consider that as a possibility. Her lethargic and discolored body was a vast red flag looking back. As a patient, the hospital literally had zero process in place to tackle the thought of sepsis in a child like her. The flu was their only answer and that shortness of sight was tragic for us uninformed parents. If they had caught her actual symptoms and started her on an emergency septic shock treatment, there is a chance she could still be alive. If I, as a parent, knew what sepsis looked like….I could have taken her in days earlier and demanded sepsis be looked at.
I believe not only should hospitals be better prepped for sepsis…but parents should also have more education about this deadly disease. Parents are the first line of defense and we should have access to information from doctors, schools and medical clinics on what to watch out for in case our loved ones may possibly have this deadly disease.

By the time Newton came along in 1643, religious dogma, was well past losing its grip on the sciences and the genius of this man allowed him develop the concept of gravity, the attractive force between matter, which could define the movement of the planets in our solar system with mathematical precision. As the well-worn story goes, it took an apple to fall for him to make the intuitive leap that that same force was the one holding the Moon in orbit to Earth and it in turn, Earth, round the Sun. Newton’s gravity equation was used to land man on the Moon.
Newton is the Father of Physics, he was first to see the fundamental laws underpinning the calculations of Kepler and observations of Galileo.
But there is a problem, the Moon is not where it should be, it’s out of position by 10 metres. He openly claimed he did not understand the true nature of gravity and that it was a matter best left God alone.

Sir Isaac Newton PRS MP 25 December 1642 – 20 March 1727 was an English physicist and mathematician (described in his own day as a "natural philosopher") who is widely recognised as one of the most influential scientists of all time and as a key figure in the scientific revolution. His book Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica ("Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy"), first published in 1687, laid the foundations for classical mechanics. Newton also made seminal contributions to optics and shares credit with Gottfried Leibniz for the invention of calculus.
Newton's Principia formulated the laws of motion and universal gravitation, which dominated scientists' view of the physical universe for the next three centuries. By deriving Kepler's laws of planetary motion from his mathematical description of gravity, and then using the same principles to account for the trajectories of comets, the tides, the precession of the equinoxes, and other phenomena, Newton removed the last doubts about the validity of the heliocentric model of the cosmos. This work also demonstrated that the motion of objects on Earth and of celestial bodies could be described by the same principles. His prediction that the Earth should be shaped as an oblate spheroid was later vindicated by the measurements of Maupertuis, La Condamine, and others, which helped convince most Continental European scientists of the superiority of Newtonian mechanics over the earlier system of Descartes.
Newton also built the first practical reflecting telescope and developed a theory of colour based on the observation that a prism decomposes white light into the many colours of the visible spectrum. He formulated an empirical law of cooling, studied the speed of sound, and introduced the notion of a Newtonian fluid. In addition to his work on calculus, as a mathematician Newton contributed to the study of power series, generalised the binomial theorem to non-integer exponents, and developed Newton's method for approximating the roots of a function.
Newton was a fellow of Trinity College and the second Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge. He was a devout but unorthodox Christian and, unusually for a member of the Cambridge faculty of the day, he refused to take holy orders in the Church of England, perhaps because he privately rejected the doctrine of the Trinity. Beyond his work on the mathematical sciences, Newton dedicated much of his time to the study of biblical chronology and alchemy, but most of his work in those areas remained unpublished until long after his death. In his later life, Newton became president of the Royal Society. He also served the British government as Warden and Master of the Royal Mint.
Isaac Newton was born (according to the Julian calendar in use in England at the time) on Christmas Day, 25 December 1642 (NS 4 January 1643), at Woolsthorpe Manor in Woolsthorpe-by-Colsterworth, a hamlet in the county of Lincolnshire. He was born three months after the death of his father, a prosperous farmer also named Isaac Newton. Born prematurely, he was a small child; his mother Hannah Ayscough reportedly said that he could have fit inside a quart mug (≈ 1.1 litres). When Newton was three, his mother remarried and went to live with her new husband, the Reverend Barnabus Smith, leaving her son in the care of his maternal grandmother, Margery Ayscough. The young Isaac disliked his stepfather and maintained some enmity towards his mother for marrying him, as revealed by this entry in a list of sins committed up to the age of 19: "Threatening my father and mother Smith to burn them and the house over them." Newton's mother had three children from her second marriage. Although it was claimed that he was once engaged, Newton never married.

Are you ready to abandon driving the car you bought, and optioned to reflect your personal sense of style, and opt to be a passenger riding in a non-descript safety-sedan with a giant pink mustache? Up until a year ago, a large pink plastic mustache mounted on the car’s grille was the identifying icon of Lyft, a ridesharing service that just partnered up with General Motors.
General Motors and Lyft announced a long-term strategic alliance to create an integrated network of on-demand autonomous vehicles in the U.S. Until laws like the one recently adopted in California where autonomous cars must have a licensed driver in the vehicle, there’s going to be employment for human bipeds. As time passes and autonomous cars become more trust worthy and laws change, it’s goodbye Mr. Patel, or Ms. Smith, you’ve been replaced with a robot. Hopefully the robots will be as personable as Johnnycab was in Total Recall.
GM will invest $500 million in Lyft to help the company continue the rapid growth of its successful ridesharing service. In addition, GM will hold a seat on the company’s board of directors.
“We see the future of personal mobility as connected, seamless and autonomous with GM and Lyft working together, we believe we can successfully implement this vision more rapidly,” said GM President, Dan Ammann.
John Zimmer, president and co-founder of Lyft, said, “Working with GM, Lyft will continue to unlock new transportation experiences that bring positive change to our daily lives. Together we will build a better future by redefining traditional car ownership.”
So there you have it, the future is to be about redefining traditional car ownership, so you better get ready to buy a set of custom tires and wheels for a vehicle with the personality of a toaster. | [

Consumers who've fantasized about taking small steps in NASA moon boots now can fulfill their wish—without becoming an astronaut.
To commemorate the 45th anniversary of the 1969 moon landing, a partnership among General Electric, shoe company Android Homme, and shopping site JackThreads will offer 100 pairs of high-top sneakers inspired by the boots astronauts wore to the moon, The Verge reported.
The sale will start on Sunday at 4:18 p.m. ET, the same time as the moon landing, The Verge wrote. Shoppers can grab the shoes for $196.90 on JackThreads.

The United States released a report on religious freedom globally in 2021 on Thursday which stated that some officials of India were ignoring the attacks on minorities and even supporting them.
According to the report, the members of other religious communities were attacked and assaulted. Many of them were killed also due to their religion. Attacks also included cow vigilantism and torture and assault on those people who traded in beef.
Hindus, who are almost 80 percent of the Indian total population believe cows to be sacred. The BJP-led government in many states has already made new laws or tightened the already existing ones against slaughtering cows.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, while speaking to the media, said that the report was describing the grave situation around the world on religious freedom.
“For example, in India, the world’s largest democracy and home to a great diversity of faiths, we’ve seen rising attacks on people and places of worship,” Blinken said. | [

The Waltz– (from the German “walzen”, meaning to roll, turn or glide) was the first dance in which the man and lady danced with body contact. Waltz has materialized into two accepted forms known as Modern Waltz and Viennese Waltz both in keeping with the main characteristics of the dance, though at different tempos. The Modern or Slow Waltz is done at a slower tempo, with long gliding steps, fewer turns, and more backward and forward movements. The waltz is danced to ¾ time music, has an elegant rise and fall action and swaying to the sides. It has a graceful and romantic feel.
The Foxtrot – Sometimes called the dance of Fred and Ginger, the Foxtrot made its first appearance during vauldeville time, when it was danced to ragtime music. Modifications came when realized that ‘’trotting” couldn’t be sustained for long periods of time. It evolved into a smooth and stylish dance much like the waltz, however, it is characterized with both slow gliding steps as well as quick steps with an easygoing look and feel. It is danced to 4/4 time and has two rhythms which make it adaptable to many different music styles.
The Tango – Developed from many cultural influences beginning in Spain, Morocco, then Buenos Aires, Argentina, Paris and finally standardized in New York. It was popularized by Vernon & Irene Castle right before WWI and then by Rudolph Valentino in a silent movie. The tango is a dramatic dance with both cat-like and staccato movements. Done in a close hold with bent knees, the tango is danced to 4/4 time music together with a marching rhythm and is phrased into 16 or 32 beats much like telling a story.
The Rumba – Known as the grandfather of all the Latin dances, Rumba is a very slow romantic dance, characterized by quick and slow steps, a still upper body and swaying of the hips. Rumba music is written in 4/4 time with a very slow tempo. It was greatly influenced by African style music, but has infiltrated many other popular music genres such as country, blues and rock.
East Coast Swing – Evolved from the 1920’s when it was called Lindy first and then Jitterbug. After emergence of the Big Band Jazz music and several modifications of the dance, it was renamed Swing and finally distinguished as East Coast Swing in the 70’s. ECS is an upbeat and happy dance characterized by its bounce steps and rock-back break. It is a stationary dance done to 4/4 time music.
The Cha-Cha – A lively, playful dance of Cuban origin which evolved from a slow version of the Mambo called “Triple Mambo”. Originally danced to Latin Pop or Latin Rock music it became the latest dance craze of the 50’s in the U.S. when the Big Band instruments were popular. Cha-Cha is an exuberant and non-progressive dance done in 4/4 time music, and distinguished by the syncopated triple step (chasse or shuffle).
Nightclub Two-Step – Sometimes called disco two-step or California two-step, is a casual, relaxed and slow dance created in the 60’s. It is characterized by rock steps, long glides and a traveling cross step which are used to spice up a slow dance and make it more interesting. NCTS is done to popular music with a slower tempo as well as smooth jazz music. It can be a stationary or a progressive dance or a combination of the two.
The Merengue – Was born in the Dominican Republic and blended with African and French influence. It is a fun, fast and easy dance made up of simple steps. Merengue became popular in New York during the 30’s and 40’s. The Big Band instruments contributed to its marching rhythm. It is characterized by strong side to side motion with emphasis on counts 1 and 5. The dance encourages creative arm movements to go with the simple steps. | [

Gov. Sununu Taps Edelblut, a Former Rival, to Lead State Department of Education
Governor Chris Sununu has nominated former political rival Frank Edelblut as commissioner of the state Department of Education.
The announcement was a brief, unceremonious item on the Executive Council’s agenda Wednesday morning as Governor Chris Sununu read off a list of nominations.
“For the Commissioner of the state of the New Hampshire Department of Education I nominate Frank Edelblut of Wilton New Hampshire.”
But the choice signals a big shift in priorities for the state agency.
Frank Edelblut, a businessman who served one term as a state representative and home-schooled his 7 children, is known as an advocate for local control in education policy. He’s a strong supporter of school choice and charter schools and he also vigorously opposes Common Core.
Those positions helped him mount a strong run for governor in the Republican primary last year, narrowly losing to Chris Sununu.
With a Republican majority on the Executive Council, Edelblut’s nomination looks in good shape to be confirmed. | [

Sandra Pertot has written a book about sex, but she's not expecting to sell many copies. Isn't this an oxymoron? Surely sex manuals shimmy off the bookshop shelves faster than you can say "multiple orgasm"? Well, they do: but the subtitle of Pertot's tome is "a woman's guide to living with low libido". And while she believes she's written an honest book, Pertot is under no illusions that it's the sort of book that women want to read.
Low libido is something that one in three women experience at some point in their lives - or at least that may just be the number who own up to it, who seek help, or who mention it when they go to see their GP or the family-planning nurse. The true figure could be far higher.
What is clear, though, is that most women whose interest in sex has waned also feel inadequate and abnormal. They worry that something must be wrong with them, and that what's happened to them has made them different. Everyone else, they reckon, must be at it like rabbits or contestants on Celebrity Love Island. They, meanwhile, are in a sad minority of people for whom sex is no longer ravishing, exciting, and hot.
But could it be - and I hope this thought doesn't make you fall off your chair - that us women have allowed the male of the species to introduce his own definition of the word "libido" into the universal human dictionary? That, in other words, women are measuring their sexual appetite, misguidedly, against men's norm - and are finding themselves sadly wanting?
That, according to sex therapist Julia Cole, seems to be the conclusion reached in the work of Alan Riley, professor of sexual medicine at the University of Central Lancashire. He has discovered that, while men appear to be on a five-day cycle when it comes to wanting sex, women are on a 10-day cycle. In other words, for a bloke the alarm goes off five days after they last had sex, and they want it again, whereas for women the clock is still ticking away and would do so happily for another five days.
"The problem is, firstly, that the woman isn't thinking about needing sex again at day five - but also, if she goes ahead and has sex anyway in response to her man's needs, then her clock is set back to zero," says Cole. "Five days later it happens again, and she still isn't ready for it - so in other words, she could very well start to believe she's lost her libido, whereas it's actually all about the timing being wrong."
And that's not all: Riley's work has also looked at where and when men and women fantasise about sex and his work suggests (again, hold on to your chair) that, while men tend to think about sex in all kinds of everyday situations (sitting in a traffic jam, on the tube, in the office) women tend not to have random thoughts about it while, say, cleaning up baby sick or racing to a meeting that they're 10 minutes late for. What that all means for libido is that women find it harder to move from a mundane moment into a sexual, let's-have-intercourse moment - and that, if they find it difficult to make the adjustment, they may feel there's something wrong with them.
It's tempting to try to rationalise the facts - such as they are - of human libido by looking at the biological factors. Physiologically, after all, humankind needs male libido: it does not need women's. There have been studies showing that female orgasm aids conception, but the effect was only marginal.
"From an evolutionary point of view, all women have to do is agree to it," says Pertot. "They don't have to be randy or hot for it." If it aids our species for women to have a high libido at all, it is when we are in our late teens, 20s and 30s. Once we hit the peri-menopause, our physiology has no reason at all to be furnishing us with a high sex drive.
But that argument is too simplistic. Some women do indeed report feeling more sexy around the time of ovulation (as you'd expect, from a biological point of view). But other women, especially those in a new relationship, report feeling horny all month long. And many women find that pregnancy is one of the times when they feel most turned on. What in heaven's name could be the point of that, if female libido were only about procreation?
When it comes to the menopause, many women (and doctors) seem to believe that a loss of libido is to be expected. Wrong again, says Dr Jacqueline Granleese, chartered health psychologist at the University of East Angl | [

Greta Thunberg, the 16-year-old Swedish climate activist, was detained in Norway on Friday after taking part in a protest against a wind farm project.
Thunberg, who has become a global figurehead for the fight against climate change, was among a group of protesters who had gathered at the site of the planned wind farm in the northern Norwegian town of Alta.
The protesters were attempting to block construction of the wind farm, which they say will damage the local environment and wildlife.
Thunberg was detained by police and taken to a nearby police station, where she was questioned and released without charge.
The protest was organized by the Norwegian environmental group Nature and Youth, which has been campaigning against the wind farm project for several years.
The group says the project will damage the local environment and wildlife, and has called on the Norwegian government to halt construction.
Thunberg has become a prominent figure in the fight against climate change, and has been praised for her activism and her willingness to speak out on the issue.
She has addressed the United Nations, met with world leaders, and taken part in numerous protests around the world.
In a statement released after her detention, Thunberg said she was “proud to stand with Nature and Youth in their fight against the wind farm project in Alta.”
“We must protect our environment and wildlife, and we must take action now to prevent further damage to our planet,” she said.
Thunberg’s detention has sparked a wave of support from other climate activists, who have praised her for her courage and commitment to the cause.
The Norwegian government has yet to respond to the protest, but the incident has highlighted the growing global movement to tackle climate change.
It has also put the spotlight on the Norwegian government’s commitment to renewable energy, and its willingness to take action on climate change.
The incident has also sparked a debate about the role of young people in the fight against climate change, and the importance of giving them a voice in the debate.
Greta Thunberg’s detention in Norway is a reminder that the fight against climate change is far from over, and that young people are willing to take a stand and make their voices heard. | [

The possible association between Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) and papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is a still debated issue. We analyzed the frequency of PTC, TSH levels and thyroid autoantibodies (TAb) in 13 738 patients (9824 untreated and 3914 under l-thyroxine, l-T4). Patients with nodular-HT (n=1593) had high titer of TAb and/or hypothyroidism. Patients with nodular goiter (NG) were subdivided in TAb−NG (n=8812) with undetectable TAb and TAb+NG (n=3395) with positive TAb. Among untreated patients, those with nodular-HT showed higher frequency of PTC (9.4%) compared with both TAb−NG (6.4%; P=0.002) and TAb+NG (6.5%; P=0.009) and presented also higher serum TSH (median 1.30 vs 0.71 μU/ml, P<0.001 and 0.70 μU/ml, P<0.001 respectively). Independently of clinical diagnosis, patients with high titer of TAb showed a higher frequency of PTC (9.3%) compared to patients with low titer (6.8%, P<0.001) or negative TAb (6.3%, P<0.001) and presented also higher serum TSH (median 1.16 vs 0.75 μU/ml, P<0.001 and 0.72 μU/ml, P<0.001 respectively). PTC frequency was strongly related with serum TSH (odds ratio (OR)=1.111), slightly related with anti-thyroglobulin antibodies (OR=1.001), and unrelated with anti-thyroperoxidase antibodies. In the l-T4-treated group, when only patients with serum TSH levels below the median value (0.90 μU/ml) were considered, no significant difference in PTC frequency was found between nodular-HT, TAb−NG and TAb+NG. In conclusion, the frequency of PTC is significantly higher in nodular-HT than in NG and is associated with increased levels of serum TSH. Treatment with l-T4 reduces TSH levels and decreases the occurrence of clinically detectable PTC.

Early onset of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) and multiglandular involvement suggest a familial form in which germline mutation of a PHPT-related gene(s) and a somatic event at the same locus can be often demonstrated. We investigated the involvement of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) and HRPT2 genes in a 39-year-old man with recurrent PHPT. PHPT was firstly diagnosed at the age of 21 and the patient had two recurrences separated by extended periods of normocalcemia. This unusual history prompted us to investigate other family members and study the MEN1 and HRPT2 genes. An HRPT2 germline missense mutation in exon 3 (R91P) was found in the index case, which was associated with different HRPT2 somatic alterations in each of the three examined parathyroid tumors. These findings are consistent with Knudson’s ‘two hit’ concept of biallelic inactivation of classical tumor suppressor genes. Screening of 15 asymptomatic relatives was negative for the R91P germline mutation. All the three abnormal parathyroid specimens showed cystic features at histology and were negative for parafibromin immunostaining. In one specimen, diffuse parafibromin staining was evident in a rim of normal parathyroid tissue surrounding the adenomatous lesion. Our study shows that different somatic genetic events at the HRPT2 locus are responsible for the asynchronous occurrence of multiple adenomas in a patient carrying an HRPT2 germline mutation. The finding of diffuse parafibromin staining in a rim of normal parathyroid tissue, but not in the contiguous adenomatous lesion, reinforces the concept that loss of parafibromin expression is responsible for the development of parathyroid tumors in this setting.

The snow dances happening across Central Oregon appear to be working.
Winter weather is headed our way and Central Oregon Daily News Chief Meteorologist Dorrell Wenninger says Mt. Bachelor and Hoodoo could get up to 2 feet of snow this week with more snow expected over the weekend.
And while the bountiful snow is exactly what skiers and snowboarders have been hoping for since Thanksgiving, it could prove troublesome for those heading over mountain passes for the holiday.
A winter storm warning will be in effect from 8 a.m. Wednesday through 4 p.m. Thursday.
More than a foot of snow and wind gusts as high as 35 mph can be expected over the passes.
“Travel conditions are expected to be difficult. Expect snow and ice-covered roads and greatly reduced visibility,” according to the NWS.
Mt. Bachelor says it’s gearing up for a “pow cycle” and expects some epic conditions for the holiday break.
The ski area wants to remind visitors to always ski with a buddy and beware of tree wells off the groomed runs.
Beyond the snow, the last week of 2021 is expected to be a cold one across the state.
The National Weather Service in Pendleton says overnight lows in Bend and Redmond will dip into the teens and highs will only reach the 20s by the middle of next week.
Some parts of the state will see temps in the low single digits midweek. | [

The largest planet in our solar system is clearly visible late at night. It rises to the southeast just after sunset, and it’s highest right around 2am, so if you’re up late, go out and look. By the way, most decent binoculars and almost any telescope--even a toy telescope should show you the four Galilean Moons, Ganymede, Io, Callisto, and Europa. They’re the four largest of Jupiter’s 70+ natural satellites, and Ganymede is the most massive moon in the entire solar system. The moons will look like four stars flanking the planet on either side, though you may not see all of them.
Jupiter is very bright right now, but it will technically be at its brightest this coming Tuesday when it’s at opposition, meaning the Earth is directly between Jupiter and the Sun. Now, that said, you probably won’t notice any difference between observing Jupiter tonight versus Tuesday night. But if you do look at Jupiter on Tuesday night, you might see one of its most famous features… the Great Red Spot.
Jupiter spins faster than any other planet. It completes a rotation every 10 hours. Because the Great Red Spot is a single feature on the planet, you have to go out at just the right time to see it. Lucky for us, 11pm eastern time Tuesday night will give us that opportunity. At that time, the Great Red Spot will be dead center. And while it may be called the Great Red Spot, it's more of a pale orange these days, so it’s hard to contrast against the whites and browns of the cloud belts unless you know where to look. And don’t get frustrated if you don’t see it. You need good observing conditions and a decent telescope with lots of magnification to get a good enough view.
But if you see it, you’ll be looking at a hurricane the size of Earth that, for all we know, has been raging for more than 300 years. | [

Our fully-equipped in-house laboratory allows for immediate results when performing routine diagnostics. Our skilled team is capable of evaluating and performing tests including complete blood panels, urinalysis, fecals, parvo tests, glucose and thyroid levels. We use our equipment to help us thoroughly evaluate your pet’s condition, especially in emergency situations. Our in-house equipment ensures that we are always prepared and able to access test results within minutes in urgent scenarios.
Radiography is a valuable diagnostic tool in veterinary medicine. As we continually strive to offer the highest quality medicine and diagnostic testing, our veterinarians are pleased to offer radiology services as a means of providing excellent care to our patients.
A radiograph (sometimes called an x-ray) is a type of photograph that can look inside the body and reveal information that may not be discernible from the outside. Radiography can be used to evaluate almost any organ in the body, including the heart, lungs, and abdominal organs, as well as the bones.
Radiography is painless, safe, and completely non-invasive, and it uses only very low doses of radiation. Because the level of radiation exposure needed to perform radiography is very low, even pregnant females and very young pets can undergo radiography. Radiographs can be used to evaluate bones as well as the size, shape, and position of many of the body’s organs. The size of organs is important because some medical conditions such as kidney, heart or liver disease-can alter the size of these organs. The shape and position of organs can be altered or distorted by certain medical conditions, including intestinal blockage or cancer. Tumors, depending on their size and location, can also sometimes be detected using radiography. Radiography can also be used to diagnose bladder stones, broken bones, chronic arthritis, certain spinal cord diseases, and a variety of other conditions. Radiographs are an important tool that can help our veterinarians make a correct diagnosis for your pet. Our radiology service is managed by skilled professionals who will provide state-of-the-art care with compassion and expertise.
Our trained team will fill your prescriptions with care as well as attention to detail and your pet’s specific needs. You can count on us to provide you with accurate information about your pet’s medications, including proper dosing information, and to alert you to any potential drug side effects or interactions. We are also here if you experience any problems with your medication after you return home. Help is only a phone call away!
If you want to be sure to get the most value for your dollars, as well as convenience and the best customer service, call us for your next prescription or medication refill. We are pleased to provide our clients with a fully stocked pharmacy, and we stand behind every product that we dispense.
Parasite Prevention and Testing
There was a time when parasites like fleas, ticks, and roundworms were considered mostly a nuisance. Now, however, we know that parasites can cause serious illness and even death in pets. For example, ticks can transmit infections like Lyme disease, and fleas can transmit tapeworms and Bartonella – the bacteria that causes “cat-scratch fever” in humans.
Another type of parasite, called heartworm, is transmitted by mosquitoes. Heartworms live in your pet’s lungs and heart, causing damage to these organs, and sometimes even death. Intestinal parasites, like roundworms and hookworms, also threaten pets and are even transmissible to humans.
You may not always be able to tell if your pet has parasites. Fleas can hide in your pet’s fur, and some ticks are very tiny (only the size of a pinhead), so they are very difficult to find. Intestinal parasites like roundworms can cause diarrhea and other problems, but many infected pets don’t show any signs of illness at all.
Fortunately, we can recommend tests to tell if your pet has parasites. We can also examine your pet for evidence of fleas, ticks, or other parasites. Our expert team can recommend medications to help control fleas, ticks, heartworms, and intestinal parasites. Preventing parasites in your pets also helps protect children and other family members, so let’s work together to protect your pets and family.
Veterinary examinations and parasite testing are important ways to protect your pet’s health. Let our knowledgeable team provide you with a comprehensive parasite control program. We can recommend a schedule for parasite testing, discuss what signs of parasites you can look for at home, discuss treatment options if your pet has parasites, and recommend ways to control parasites in the future.
Parasites are not just a nuisance. They can carry serious diseases that affect your pet’s overall health and longevity. Let us help you protect your pet. Call today to find out how! | [

On this day in 1564 the Italian astronomer and mathematician Galileo Galilei was born. Galileo has been called the Father of Modern Science although during his lifetime his main view on a heliocentric universe was disallowed by the powerful Roman Catholic Church, which stuck to the literal biblical interpretation of the earth as the centre of the universe.
Galileo was only repeating the views of Copernicus from over one hundred years earlier, but nevertheless the inquisition in Rome decided that he must: “abstain completely from teaching or defending this doctrine and opinion or from discussing it.” Furthermore, over a decade later, he was placed under house arrest for the rest of his life.
Here are some lines by the metaphysical poet John Donne who was well aware of the new science that Copernicus and Galileo were introducing:
The new philosophy calls all in doubt,
The element of fire is quite put out;
The sun is lost and the earth, and no man’s wit
Can well direct him where to look for it.
And freely men confess that this world’s spent,
When in the planets and the firmament
They seek so many new; they see that this
Is crumbled out again to his atomies.
Have not all souls thought
For many ages that our body is wrought
Of air and fire and other elements?
And now they think of new ingredients;
And one soul thinks one, and another way
Another thinks, and ’tis an even lay.
Today I remember that that there are still huge questions to which we have no answer and when I look at the stars I remind myself that I am just a very small part of a vast joined-up universe. | [

Depression has also been linked to weight problems. If you suffer from a depressed mood, you might be tempted to overeat as a self-soothing measure. This phytocannabinoid also works as an antidepressant and can help to reduce depressed or anxious feelings and to improve your outlook. When your mood is improved, it can help you with your weight loss efforts.
Though both CBD and hemp oil are derived from the same cannabis plant (hemp), CBD is derived from multiple parts of the plant – the stems, leaves, flowers, and stalks. Only amazon products with full spectrum, or hemp extract, does the presence of CBD cannabinoids exist, as it is derived from the entire plant. Hemp seed oil, on the other hand, is derived from hemp seeds only. This means that hemp seed oil does not contain the same number of cannabinoids found in CBD and full spectrum hemp oils, and therefore contains very little to no CBD content.
It is worth noting though, that hemp seed oil actually does have plenty of health benefits on its own. For example, they are rich in healthy fats and essential fatty acids, including Omega-3 and Omega-6 acids. They can also be a good source of protein, and are known to contain high amounts of vitamin E, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, magnesium, sulfur, calcium, iron and zinc.
The previously mentioned study which established improved mitochondrial function with CBD use also observed that CBD stimulates gene expression within white fat cells. This initiates the “browning” of these cells. This mechanism shows promise with converting hard-to-lose white fat into a more easily burnable form. Additionally, researchers found that CBD decreased the rate of new fat cell creation.
CBD MD offers gummies that contain grade-A premium CBD. The cannabinoid extract is full-spectrum, so it contains other cannabinoids such as CBDV and CBG. This product also contains a variety of molecules, terpenes, essential oils, and amino acids to enhance the flavor and the health-promoting benefits. These gummies are 100 percent organic, non-GMO, vegan, and gluten-free. The CBD used to create them has been sourced from organically grown domestic hemp.
Regular dosage size is recommended at 20 drops, 1-2 times per day. According to the manufacturer, small to large dosage sizes are as follows: 250 mg = 1/4 dropper, or ~5 drops 300 mg = 3/10 dropper, or ~6 drops 500 mg = 1/2 dropper, or ~10 drops 600 mg = 3/5 dropper, or ~12 drops 800 mg = 4/5 dropper, or ~16 drops 1000 mg = 1 full dropper, or ~20 drops 1500 mg = 1 1/2 dropper, or ~30 drops
For those with little understanding of where CBD comes from, how it can affect the body or even what “CBD” stands for, CBDfx has it all covered through the convenient “Knowledge Hub” section on its website. Meanwhile, anyone searching for further answers may just find what they’re looking for on the company’s blog, which investigates, among other subjects, CBD oil’s impact on the ageing process and whether or not the cannabidiol can assist with anxiety. In all, then, CBDfx helps fully equip potential customers with the information they need before they make a purchase. And if they do decide to buy from this provider, they have plenty of choice, too, as its range of products takes in not only CBD oil tinctures, capsules and gummy bears but also a lemon-flavored “Chill Shot” drink – which, the company claims, is “one of the tastiest and most satisfying ways to dose yourself with CBD.”
Amazon’s 1000mg hemp extract oil from British Columbia Hemp Company boasts upmost purity, free from sediments and other impurities as well as THC. Derived as a hemp plant extract (verified by seller) rather than a hemp seed oil, it’s likely this product contains CBD compounds as well as Omega-3 and Omega-6. This amazon product is triple filtered for quality, is unflavored, and is OMRI certified (organically certified in Canada). | [
