There are certain conditions or diseases that may require you to administer injections to your cat at home. Routine injections are necessary for the treatment of diabetes using insulin and for the control of skin allergies using allergenic extract injections. Your veterinarian will review the specific administration technique but the following questions and answers may be of help.
Will the injection hurt my pet?
Most pets don’t seem to mind routine injections. Disposable single-use needles ensure that a very sharp needle is used each time. Your veterinarian will prescribe appropriate needles and syringes based on your pet’s needs.
What happens if my cat moves when I give the injection?
Ideally have someone assist you while you give the injection, especially when you are just learning how to do it. Try offering the pet a special food or treat as a distraction while you administer the injection. By injecting quickly, you can minimize the chance that your pet will move. Most pet owners find that their pet is very cooperative once a routine is established.
Is there any danger if he doesn’t keep still?
Most owners are concerned that they may break the needle off in the skin but this is extremely unlikely to occur. The needle may bend but it is much more likely that the injection will end up outside the pet rather than inside. If you are unsure that your pet received the full amount of the injection, contact the hospital for instructions. As a general rule, if you’re unsure how much you injected, do not administer more unless directed by your veterinarian.
Can you explain the exact technique of giving an injection?
Subcutaneous injections are placed just beneath the skin, which is considerably looser in the cat than in humans. Start by pinching some loose skin between your thumb and forefinger. Hold the syringe like a pencil with the other hand. Insert the needle swiftly into the fold of skin, keeping the barrel roughly level with the fold but with the needle angled downwards at a thirty- to forty-five-degree angle. Most injections are given in syringes small enough to allow the plunger to be depressed with the palm of the same hand once the needle has been positioned underneath the skin. Administer the contents of the syringe quickly. Once the injection has been completed, remove the needle and massage the area. Having someone assist you will make the procedure easier. With a little practice, however, most pet owners find that they have no problems administering routine injections to their pet without assistance.

Synthetic oligodeoxynucleotides expressing CpG motifs (CpG-ODN) are a Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) agonist that can enhance the antitumor activity of DNA-damaging chemotherapy and radiation therapy in preclinical mouse models. We hypothesized that the success of these combinations is related to the ability of CpG-ODN to modulate genes involved in DNA repair. We conducted an in silico analysis of genes implicated in DNA repair in data sets obtained from murine colon carcinoma cells in mice injected intratumorally with CpG-ODN and from splenocytes in mice treated intraperitoneally with CpG-ODN. CpG-ODN treatment caused downregulation of DNA repair genes in tumors. Microarray analyses of human IGROV-1 ovarian carcinoma xenografts in mice treated intraperitoneally with CpG-ODN confirmed in silico findings. When combined with the DNA-damaging drug cisplatin, CpG-ODN significantly increased the life span of mice compared with individual treatments. In contrast, CpG-ODN led to an upregulation of genes involved in DNA repair in immune cells. Cisplatin-treated patients with ovarian carcinoma as well as anthracycline-treated patients with breast cancer who are classified as “CpG-like” for the level of expression of CpG-ODN modulated DNA repair genes have a better outcome than patients classified as “CpG-untreated-like,” indicating the relevance of these genes in the tumor cell response to DNA-damaging drugs. Taken together, the findings provide evidence that the tumor microenvironment can sensitize cancer cells to DNA-damaging chemotherapy, thereby expanding the benefits of CpG-ODN therapy beyond induction of a strong immune response. Cancer Res; 71(20); 6382–90. ©2011 AACR.
The mammalian innate immune system identifies the presence of infection through recognition of pathogen-associated molecular patterns expressed by a diverse group of infectious microorganisms. Various pattern recognition receptors are involved in pathogen-associated molecular pattern identification, among which the Toll-like receptor (TLR) family of at least 10 different members in humans (1, 2) is probably the best known. These receptors are considered sensors for microbial infections or other danger signals and, together with other molecular sensors, serve as a first line of defense, inducing soluble and cellular mediators of innate immunity and initiating key steps of the adaptive immune response (3). Particular clinical interest now revolves around TLR9, which is expressed not only on cells of the immune system but also on endothelial cells, fibroblasts, and epithelial cells (3–6) and which recognizes bacterial and viral DNA with unmethylated CpG motifs. Synthetic oligodeoxynucleotides (ODN) expressing CpG motifs mimic the immunostimulatory activity of bacterial DNA and are commonly used to activate TLR9 for therapeutic applications (3). CpG-ODN has shown antitumor activity in different animal models (7, 8) and in patients with malignant melanoma, renal carcinoma, and recurrent or refractory lymphoma (9–12); however, experimental studies suggest that CpG-ODN may be more useful as a component of multiagent therapy for cancer rather than as a single agent (13). Because chemotherapy is known to be immunosuppressive, it may seem counterintuitive to combine it with TLR9 stimulation. Nevertheless, different chemotherapeutic drugs have been reported to improve the efficacy of CpG-ODN in mouse tumor models (14, 15). In immunocompetent mice, paclitaxel and cyclophosphamide enhanced CpG-ODN effects by depleting regulatory T cells, increasing the immunogenicity of tumor cells, and changing T-cell homeostasis; moreover, the presence of CD8+ T cells was found to be required (16). In immunocompromised athymic mice, the mechanisms underlying the improved antitumor effect when CpG-ODN was combined with gimatecan (17), gemcitabine (6), or topotecan (18, 19) have to be different from those in immunocompetent mice and remain unclear. It is noteworthy that, although these 3 chemotherapeutic agents differ in mechanisms of action, their cytotoxic activity is generally the consequence of DNA damage. Even ionizing radiotherapy (RT), generally administered locally to the tumor site or draining lymph nodes, kills cancer by damaging DNA, and experiments in murine models suggest that CpG-ODN can enhance the response to RT in both immunogenic (20, 21) and nonimmunogenic tumors (22). For nonimmunogenic tumors, the mechanism remains undefined, as the rationale for even exploring the combination of CpG-ODN with radiation, that is, that dendritic cells acquire antigens released from tumor cells after RT and migrate to regional lymph nodes where they encounter and activate tumor-specific cytotoxic cells, does not apply.
Unlike observations in tumor cells where CpG-ODN seems to increase the activity of RT, studies on the combination of RT and CpG-ODN in mice have shown that TLR9 engagement on CD4+ T lymphocytes reduces apoptosis and enhances their capacity to repair DNA damage induced by γ-rad

Circular economy software - Library @ E2Expo
Updated: Dec 2020
Circular.fashion has created a software that interconnects circular design, circular retail models, and closed-loop recycling technologies enabling fashion brands to design circular garments. By providing access to hundreds of circular materials,design guidelines and product briefings, the software enables fashion companies to develop sustainable, innovative solutions across the value chain.
To enable transparency to the customers, the software also involves a unique Circularity.ID, a smart traceability solution, integrated into a garment which enables product and material-specific data to be accessed. This ID which enacts a sorting software enables identification of that garment at the sorting facilities which can be quickly sent to relevant recycling companies.

A user manual of a Samsung phone that has a model number of SM-J720F and SM-J720F/DS has appeared on the official website. It is speculated that these model numbers respectively belong to Galaxy J7 (2018) and Galaxy J7 Duo (2018) that will be releasing this year. The user manual of the phone has revealed several information on its features. Also, a user-created render of Galaxy J7 has appeared to reveal what to expect from the design of the phone.
The front view of the Samsung Galaxy J7 (2018) reveals that the to p bezel will be equipped with features like a selfie LED flash, a front-facing camera, a proximity sensor and a speaker. The Power key is present on the right edge whereas the volume rocker is found on the left side. Below the screen is physical home button that is integrated with a fingerprint sensor. It is placed between capacitive buttons for Recent and Back. The bottom edge of the phone is fitted with features like a microphone, a microUSB port and a 3.5mm earphone slot. A concept designer @MaxJmbr has created a render of the Samsung Galaxy J7 Duo to give a realistic idea of what the device would like in actuality.
The rear view of the Galaxy J7 (2018) reveals that it will be coming with a removeable back cover and a user-replaceable battery. The vertical dual camera setup along with a flash unit and speaker are also available on the backside of the phone.
There is no information available on the specs of the phone. However, it is certain that the handset may not feature the Infinity Display design found on Galaxy A8, A8+ and Galaxy flagships. The Galaxy J7 (2018) is expected to release with different monikers and similar specifications in different markets.

Now it’s my turn to do my first blog. I’m Deborah Sazer, the Ecologist for The Grasslands Trust Carmel Reserve, working alongside Charli in Carmarthenshire. Carmel is a wonderful place to work (and visit), with its wide range of underlying geology, soils, habitats and species.
We are working to ‘un-improve’ our semi-improved neutral grassy pastures at Garn and Pwll Edrychiad. They have not received any fertilisers or herbicides for a number of years, but are being grazed by cattle and occasional ponies. We did a baseline survey of the grasslands in 2010, to give us a snapshot of these fields at the beginning of our ‘Beeline’ Project to diversify the grasslands, a partnership between The Grasslands Trust and the Bumblebee Conservation Trust, funded by Working with Nature.
Although the fields were fairly uniform and dominated by just a few species of grass such as Yorkshire fog and Sweet vernal grass, there were already signs of wildflowers moving in by themselves, with patches of Yellow rattle, Autumn hawkbit and Common knapweed, along with important nectar sources such as Red clover and Red bartsia. There are also a few species rich spots, including a lovely small bank where the soil is thinner, allowing the underlying limestone to influence the flora, featuring species such as Lady’s mantle, Burnet-saxifrage and Quaking grass (one of my favourites, possibly because it’s so easy to identify with its distinctive seed heads ‘quaking’ in the breeze).
The first step in diversifying the poorer areas was to sow Yellow rattle. This annual plant is semi-parasitic on other plants, particularly grasses and legumes. It is considered a weed by farmers who aim to grow as much nutritious grass as they can for their demanding modern breeds of cattle. But it is a really useful conservation tool to reduce the dominance of grasses and allow room for flowering plants to colonise. Since it is an annual, an early cut before it flowers should reduce or remove it when it is no longer required. It needs frost to germinate, and the winter of 2010/11 was ideal, producing a fantastic spread of yellow rattle across the fields last summer. Charli and the volunteers sowed the rattle on large parts of our Garn semi-improved fields, after contractors had harrowed strips to expose some bare ground. The volunteers also sowed small patches of yellow rattle last year and again this winter, scraping up the ground with rakes before sowing. We shall see whether the rattle is as prolific this year, following the mild winter.
The task for this summer is to collect wildflower seed from the richer parts of our site and sow them on the semi-improved ‘rattle-y’ fields, to provide more nectar and pollen-rich plants for our bees, butterflies and hoverflies. The volunteers did sow small amounts of Knapweed and Devil’s-bit scabious last autumn, which we will repeat later this year, along with some of the limestone-loving flowers such as Wild thyme and Oregano. Watch this space for news of how successful we have been in restoring Carmel’s flowery meadows.

According to local officials, the incident took place late on Monday in the vicinity of Satellite Town area of the city.
A senior security official Razzaq Cheema said the explosion targeted a police vehicle which was carrying security personnel to protect a mosque.
Cheema further added that the four personnel of Rapid Response Group were killed in the explosion and 12 others were wounded.
According to Cheema, the explosives were planted in a motorcycle which was detonated when the police vehicle arrived in the area.
According to reports, the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan has claimed responsibility for the attack.
Last night’s incident took place days after a group of militants stormed a five-star hotel in Gwadar port of Pakistan leaving at least five dead.

Soil exhaustion, populated countries, Rwandans, overgrazing, biological weapons
Rwanda is one of the smallest and most densely populated countries in Africa, and its land is intensively farmed. About 92 percent (1990) of the Rwandan workforce is involved in agriculture. Soil exhaustion and overgrazing are leading to desertification throughout the country.
Forests cover about 12.5 percent (2000) of Rwanda. Although Rwandans rely on traditional fuels such as firewood for about 88 percent (1997) of their energy, the country’s forests have been preserved through reforestation efforts.
Rwanda has designated 14.7 percent (1997) of its land as protected area. Rwanda has ratified international agreements protecting biodiversity and endangered species. It has also signed international agreements limiting chemical and biological weapons and trade involving endangered species. Rwanda is party to the African Convention on the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources and participates in the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Man and the Biosphere Program.

The cost of producing x units of a product is given by C(x)=200+50x-50 ln x, x>=1. Find the minimum average cost.
The cost function is C(x) 200+50x-50lnx. x>=1
To find the minimum.
We use the calculus criteria for minimum. A continuous derivable function f(x) has its minimum at x= c if f'(c) = 0 and f '' (c) is positive. This we apply to the cost function C(x):
C(x) = 200+50x-50lnx. Differentiating we get
C'(x) = (200+50x-50lnx)'
= (200)'+(50x)' - (50ln x)'
=0+50-1/x. Equate the C'(x) to zero and find x:
C'(x) = 0. gives 50-50/x = 0, Or x = 50/50 = 1.
C''(1) = (C'(x))' at x= 1
=(50-50/x)' at x =1
=50. So at x=1, C"(x) is positive. So C(x) is minimum for x = 1.
Therefore, the minimum average cost is C(1) = 200+50*1-50 ln 1
= 200+50-50*0 as ln1 =0

Also, standard deviation gives us a measure of the percentage of data values that lie within set distances from the mean. So, if you have a meter stick with tickmarks every mm (millimeter), you can measure a length with it to an accuracy of about 0.5 mm. Chapter 5 explains the difference between two types of error. Consider a length-measuring tool that gives an uncertainty of 1 cm. my review here
Advisors For Incoming Students Undergraduate Programs Pre-Engineering Program Dual-Degree Programs REU Program Scholarships and Awards Student Resources Departmental Honors Honors College Contact Mail Address:Department of Physics and AstronomyASU Box 32106Boone, NC Example: I estimated 260 people, but 325 came. 260 − 325 = −65, ignore the "−" sign, so my error is 65 "Percentage Error": show the error as a percent of In fact, the definition of the average ensures that the average deviation is always zero for any set of measurements. eg 35,000 has 2 significant figures. get redirected here
It's more of a mathematical subtlety, which does not affect our reasoning here. Note that determination of errors is beyond the scope of the current course. Note: a and b can be positive or negative, i.e.
He/she will want to know the uncertainty of the result. Chapter 2 explains how to estimate errors when taking measurements. The variations in different readings of a measurement are usually referred to as “experimental errors”. Negative Percent Error Unfortunately, systematic errors often remain hidden.
Estimate within a part of a division. Percent Error Calculator When a measurement is used in a calculation, the error in the measurement is therefore carried through into the result. LT-2; c. The total error of the result R is again obtained by adding the errors due to x and y quadratically: (DR)2 = (DRx)2 + (DRy)2.
Science texts refer to accuracy in two ways: (i) Accuracy of a result or experimental procedure can refer to the percentage difference between the experimental result and the accepted value. What Is A Good Percent Error eg 0.00035 has 2 significant figures. LT-1; b. Even when we are unsure about the effects of a systematic error we can sometimes estimate its size (though not its direction) from knowledge of the quality of the instrument.
A glance at the deviations shows the random nature of the scattering. https://phys.columbia.edu/~tutorial/estimation/tut_e_2_3.html These standards are as follows: 1. Percent Error Formula Chemistry velocity = displacement/time b. Percent Error Definition Accurate measurements do not ensure an experiment is valid or reliable.
If y has an error as well, do the same as you just did for x, i.e. http://back2cloud.com/percent-error/percent-error-in-physics.php We can. Also, notice that the units of the uncertainty calculation match the units of the answer. A record of the fact that the measurement was discarded and an explanation of why it was done should be recorded by the experimenter. Can Percent Error Be Negative
Since the uncertainty has only one decimal place, then the velocity must now be expressed with one decimal place as well. For example, we could have just used absolute values. In terms of validity, we could say that Experiment B is quite valid since its result is very accurate and reasonably reliable – repeating the experiment would obtain reasonably similar results. http://back2cloud.com/percent-error/percentage-error-in-equations.php Top Systematic Errors Systematic errors are errors which occur to the same extent in each one of a series of measurements.
Your cache administrator is webmaster. Error Analysis Physics Class 11 work = force x displacement Answers: a. If you measure the length of a pencil, the ratio will be very high.
The final result for velocity would be v = 37.9 + 1.7 cm/s. eg 0.7001 has 4 significant figures. The micrometer allows us to read down to 0.01mm. Experimental Error Formula All rights reserved.
Example: Sam does an experiment to find how long it takes an apple to drop 2 meters. If you are converting between unit systems, then you are probably multiplying your value by a constant. Dimensions can also be used to verify that different mathematical expressions for a given quantity are equivalent. useful reference After all, we are not interested in the maximum deviation from our best estimate.
This means that the diameter lies between 0.704 mm and 0.736 mm. The theoreticalvalue (using physics formulas)is 0.64 seconds. So, the mean is 0.72 mm. Solution: Use your electronic calculator.
It would not be meaningful to quote R as 7.53142 since the error affects already the first figure. The SI was established in 1960 by the

Labor Day is rounding out a long, not-so-hot summer in the city.
June was cold. Chicago is broke. There is fear on the streets.
Some highlights and lowlights: The city’s epidemic of violence continues. Black and Latino Chicago are sweating out relentless violence, drawing national headlines.
In the month of August alone, at least 336 Chicagoans were shot, up 12 percent from a year ago, a DNAInfo analysis shows. Forty-four died.
Those ugly numbers got little notice. In Chiraq, we have become numb to the killing.
The Rev. Michael Pfleger knows how much black lives should matter.
All summer, Pfleger and the faithful of St. Sabina Church have led the Friday Night Walk for Peace, demanding an end to the violence on the streets of Auburn Gresham. Without them, the death toll would surely be higher.
Mayor Rahm Emanuel embarked on his second term with a decisive majority. He heard the critics who made him squirm in his reelection campaign, he promised. The fuzzy sweater is gone, and he says he will listen more.
Emanuel called three public hearings in the dog days of summer, but seemed ill-equipped to handle the blowback from Chicagoans fed up with high taxes, failing schools and city services.
At one raucous session, Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy hustled the mayor away as his angry constituents ambushed the stage. The panicked look on Emanuel’s face said it all.
The summer heated up with a weeks-long hunger strike, led by the Kenwood-Oakland Community Organization and the Coalition to Revitalize Dyett High School. The strikers drew national attention and have won most of what they said they wanted.
Chicago Public Schools CEO Forrest Claypool forged a reasonable plan with big potential. The strikers say the new, open enrollment arts school is no compromise, but a betrayal endorsed by African American patronage hacks.
Time to move on. The parents and students will get a new, improved, school. The activists will have to find another way to expand their power base.
They will. By endorsing the plan, elected officials long despised by KOCO — State Rep. Christian Mitchell and 4th Ward Ald. Will Burns — are bigger targets than ever.
On another political front, the U.S. Senate race is the marquee event in the March 2016 Illinois Democratic Senate primary.
U.S. Rep. Tammy Duckworth may be the darling of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, but Andrea Zopp is not cooperating. The former Chicago Urban League CEO is raising money and talking tough.
Cook County Commissioner Richard Boykin will jump in the race soon. Boykin and Zopp are both African American. They may rev up the base, but also spilt the vote.
The DNCC may laugh last.
Chicago’s summer is ending in a financial quagmire, but The Fat Nag sees opportunity in disaster. The mayor and Chicago City Council are looking at a slew of painful property tax increases and fee hikes. Ald. George Cardenas (12th), is pitching a penny-an-ounce tax on soft drink syrup and powders, and canned and bottled sweet drinks. He argues it will help curb obesity and fund public health efforts.
Opponents say we are already pay too much in “sin taxes” on soft drinks.
We need more ammunition against obesity. If you were on the streets of Chicago this summer, you know it is out of control.
The fat is killing us, too.

Following the success of the Aerosem VT trailed pneumatic seed drills with a working width of 5 meters, Pöttinger extends this combination with a working width of 6 meters. In conjunction with active tillage, this machine also combines output with flexibility. Precise seed placement and maximum soil conservation are also the hallmarks of the Aerosem VT 6000 DD.
To avoid a bulldozing effect, the high-volume packer tyres with a diameter of 800 mm reduce ground pressure and rolling resistance. Optimum consolidation of the seed rows is made possible by the large area of surface contact in combination with the special grooved tyre profile. The additional damping of the packer ensures smoother running during operation. Because this machine runs smoothly, it enables high driving speeds to be maintained on different types of soil.
Seed placement and cost effectiveness
Each feature on Aerosem VT pneumatic seed drills is designed to increase productivity and profitability.
• To be used flexibly on different types of soil in varying conditions
• Best possible seedbed preparation with medium and heavy power harrows
• Perfect consolidation with large grooved tyre packer
• Optimum seed placement thanks to the proven Dual Disc coulters
• Ground tracking of power harrow, packer and coulter rail
Longitudinal partition seed hopper
The longitudinally mounted pressurized hopper is now available with a capacity of up to 4,600 liters on the Aerosem VT 6000 DD. The 5-meter-wide version holds 2,800 liters. The hopper is divided 50:50 along the direction of travel. This configuration enables seed with fertilizer, or seed on its own, to be applied conveniently. In addition to good accessibility to the metering units, shut-off plates make it easier to change the metering wheels when the hopper is full.
Flexible operation with single shoot
The proven Aerosem pressurized hopper system is designed for high application rates. This system ensures exact seed flow rates regardless of the type of seed or the working conditions. Each side of the hopper features a separate metering unit – but feeds the same single shoot seed line. The metering units can be controlled independently of each other. Two components can be applied simultaneously. Moreover, two application maps can be used for site-specific drilling.
Proven Dual Disc coulters
The Dual Disc double disc coulter system ensures precise seed placement. The large coulters are slightly offset and form a clean and tidy seed slot. The equal-length coulter arms are mounted on sealed bearings with a coulter offset of 30 cm to ensure maximum reliability even with high volumes of plant residues. The coulters cut right through, even at high driving speeds thanks to a coulter pressure of up to 60 kg. The V-shaped seed slot prevents the seed from rolling.

Painter, muralist, draughtsman and teacher. Born Cyril Mahoney in London – his fellow-student Barnett Freedman re-christened him Charlie at the Royal College of Art, which he attended 1922-6 after a period at Beckenham School of Art under Percy Jowett. Early on, Mahoney established a reputation as a conscientious teacher. He was at the Royal College 1928-53, from 1948-53 as a painting tutor, and was noted there for his concern for academic discipline. His portrait is included in Rodrigo Moynihan's celebrated Teaching Staff of the Painting School at the Royal College of Art, 1949-50. From 1954 to 1963 he taught at the Byam Shaw School of Drawing and Painting and from 1961 to 1968 at the Royal Academy Schools.
He painted murals at Morley College 1928-30 with his colleagues Eric Ravillious and Edward Bawden. Unfortunately these murals were destroyed during World War II. The work led to further murals: at Brockley School, Kent, with Evelyn Dunbar; and at Campion Hall Lady Chapel, Oxford. His oil paintings are frequently of a religious nature. He was a skilled botanist, and many of his drawings depict his garden at Wrotham, Kent. He exhibited at NEAC and the RA, being made an RA elect in 1968.
He is represented in the Tate Gallery and other public collections. The Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, held a memorial exhibition in 1975. Exhibitions were held in 2000 at the Harris Museum and Art Gallery, Preston, Royal Museum and Art Gallery, Canterbury, and the Fine Art Society plc in association with Liss Fine Art.

Sometimes, even in vision research, the key to moving forward is seeing things in a new way.
That’s what happened about four years ago, when Wayne Knox ’79, ’84 (PhD), a professor of optics and physics and the director of the Institute of Optics, was presenting his work on using ultrafast lasers to change optical materials like intra-ocular lenses to a group of scientists discussing lasers, optics, and human vision.
Krystel Huxlin, an associate professor of ophthalmology at the Flaum Eye Institute, chimed in with a question: “Have you ever tried this in living materials?”
With that, a collaboration was born. Huxlin and Knox are now developing a new type of laser surgery to improve vision.
“The makeup of the cornea is very much like some of the other biocompatible materials Wayne was working on,” says Huxlin. “It’s a natural question that came to mind. If you can alter the refractive index of man-made materials, can you do it directly on the living cornea, too? There are a number of technical issues to work through, but it’s a very exciting project.”
When it comes to lasers, “ultrafast” actually means “ultrabrief.” The laser built by Knox’s team emits pulses of light just 100 femtoseconds long—just one-tenth of a millionth of a millionth of a second. Put another way, in one second a pulse of light would zoom around the Earth’s equator more than seven times. But a pulse from Knox’s laser is so brief that it travels only as far as the width of a human hair.
The new technique is under exploration in the laboratory and has not been tested yet in people.
As part of the exploration, Huxlin has been analyzing what happens to the eye during the procedure known as Lasik. In the popular practice, which also has roots at Rochester, surgeons use pulses from a more conventional laser to reshape the cornea, the outer surface of the eye that is ultimately responsible for about half the refraction that light undergoes as it moves through the eye and onto the retina. Huxlin has been exploring the long-term effects on the cornea of the procedure, which removes corneal tissue and causes a wound that requires significant healing.
The method proposed by Knox and Huxlin would take a completely different approach. Instead of reshaping the cornea, the team is noninvasively changing the optical properties of the cornea itself. The team uses 100-femtosecond laser pulses in the general wavelength that is used in TV remote controls—called near-infrared—to change the density of the cornea, bringing fibers of collagen more closely together. This in turn increases the cornea’s index of refraction, changing the way the cornea bends light. In other words, as in the traditional surgery, rays of light are still redirected in a precise, planned way onto the retina—but instead of manipulating the shape of the cornea to do so, the proposed procedure would change the way light travels through the cornea itself.
In some ways, the partnership between Knox and Huxlin is an outgrowth of earlier work by David Williams, the William G. Allyn Professor of Medical Optics and the director of the Center for Visual Science. He used a technology that removes the twinkle from starlight to measure scores of optical imperfections in the eye and then correct them. The optical company Bausch & Lomb used that innovation in its Lasik system, creating a surgery that can give people vision as good as 20-12 or 20-10, as well as uncommonly fine vision in low-light conditions.
Williams’s work also set in motion a longstanding collaboration between investigators from the River Campus, the Medical Center, and Bausch & Lomb in finding new ways to improve human vision.
The new project with Huxlin embodies one of the reasons Knox returned to Rochester nearly nine years ago, after 17 years at Bell Labs. He was excited at the prospect of bringing together the University’s strengths in optics and medicine.
“I returned to Rochester largely because I wanted to get move involved with biomedical optics,” he says. “Now there are an astonishing number of projects that reach across campus, from making better bone grafts to improving dentistry to better understanding how the immune system reacts to infections.
“I hadn’t even met Krystel when I decided to come back to Rochester, but I knew that collaborators like her were here.”

A cellular network or mobile network is a communication network where the link to and from end nodes is wireless. The network is distributed over land areas called “cells”, each served by at least one fixed-location transceiver (typically three cell sites or base transceiver stations). These base stations provide the cell with the network coverage which can be used for transmission of voice, data, and other types of content. A cell typically uses a different set of frequencies from neighboring cells, to avoid interference and provide guaranteed service quality within each cell.

A highly unsettled Weekend so far... more inbound?
It's been a pretty wet day so far across the Valley, from showers and storms to just the generally oppressive humidity lingering across the area. Storms continue to fire on and off throughout the region today and throughout the rest of the afternoon, and most of us have gotten something by now. The Shoals are looking particularly spooky today... notice the haze near the ground level indicating high levels of moisture in the atmosphere.
Over the past 5 days, in fact, the Valley has been host to some pretty substantial rainfall totals, and we only have more on the way - portions of Lewis and Maury counties have seen 3-5 inches of rain, with some areas in there closing in on 6 inches already! The rest of us seem to be hovering in the 2-3 inch range, but as mentioned, more is on the way, so these totals are far from done. Indeed, storms look to continue forming overnight tonight, with perhaps a brief lull tomorrow morning.
By tomorrow, we're essentially set to "copy and paste" todays conditions into the afternoon. Scattered to widespread storms, humidity, and mid-80s look to persist. Even into the evening and overnight on Sunday, models indicate that showers and storms could possibly continue to fire - just because its night, doesn't mean the conditions aren't favorable!
As we push past tomorrow and tomorrow night, we aren't necessarily tip-toeing into greener pastures just yet - rain chances look to stick around for a good chunk of us all the way through the mid-week, in fact. Monday begins the staircase climb down to more modest chances, but it isn't much. Only by the middle and end portions of the workweek do we have a good shot at seeing more sun than rain.
...indeed, even that being so, we don't get much lower than 40% odds for the week, almost feeling like an early summer pattern if anything. September is typically one of the drier months we usually experience, but many models indicate a wet pattern could persist deeper into the month. We'll see how it unfolds, but keep your eye on the weather for the next little while as we work through this unsettled pattern.

The Senate parliamentarian’s ruling Sunday effectively kills any chance of an illegal alien amnesty through 2024, Senate conservatives and Republican aides told Breitbart News exclusively.
Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough ruled that the Democrats’ plan to slip a massive amnesty for millions of illegal aliens into a bill does not comply with the Byrd Rule regarding budgetary reconciliation. Democrats hoped they could use their $3.5 trillion infrastructure bill to pass an amnesty. MacDonough said Democrat lawmakers could not use reconciliation, which primarily relates to spending changes to the budget, to make such a drastic policy change as granting amnesty to illegal immigrants.
“Changing the law to clear the way to [lawful permanent resident] status is tremendous and enduring policy change that dwarfs its budgetary impact,” MacDonough wrote in her decision.
Lawmakers have frequently tried to use reconciliation to effect significant change since the bill can pass through the Senate with only a simple majority. However, in a similar fashion, the parliamentarian prevented both Democrats and Republicans from trying to pass major policy changes using the parliamentary procedure. For instance, MacDonough ruled in February that the Senate cannot use reconciliation to raise the minimum wage to $15 per hour.
The Senate parliamentarian limited the scope of Republicans’ Affordable Care Act (ACA), or Obamacare, repeal efforts because they could not change Obamacare’s insurance regulations. Republicans were mostly limited to changing the ACA’s Medicaid expansion, as well as the ACA’s individual and corporate mandate.
Senate conservatives cheered the parliamentarian’s decision, believing that it would restrain Democrats’ radical push to grant amnesty and subvert the will of the American people, who do not want amnesty, according to recent polls.
“The Senate parliamentarian simply confirmed the obvious: the Democrats’ desperate amnesty plan has no place,” Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) told Breitbart News in an exclusive statement. “The Democrats’ desperate push for amnesty isn’t just bad for America, it’s not even relevant under the Senate rules. The Senate parliamentarian simply confirmed the obvious.”
“Not only do Americans oppose blanket amnesty, they want a secure border. Democrat efforts to pass radical immigration policies using a budget procedure run contrary to the will of the American people. They are also contrary to the longstanding rules of the Senate,” Sen. Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) told Breitbart News.
Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) said in an exclusive statement to Breitbart News, “The radical left is so intent on passing amnesty for illegal immigrants that they want to throw the rules out the window to get it done.”
Sen. Steve Daines (R-MT) told Breitbart News, “The fact that Democrats thought it was a good idea to try and include amnesty for illegal immigrants in their reckless tax and spending spree in the midst of President Biden’s terrible southern border crisis is baffling. I’m glad to see their partisan proposal to further their far-left agenda shut down.”
Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-TN) said in a statement Monday:
The nonpartisan Senate Parliamentarian has ruled that Dems’ mass amnesty plan can’t be included in a budget bill. Their tax-and-spend spree remains dangerous for our economy, but on immigration, hopefully Dems will now focus on the massive border crisis they’ve created & ignored.

— Senator Bill Hagerty (@SenatorHagerty) September 20, 2021
The parliamentarian’s ruling also has wider implications for the prospect of Congress passing an amnesty for millions of illegal aliens. Democrats would likely not try to pass an amnesty ahead of a pivotal election year. Democrats have a one-member majority in the Senate and a historically slim majority in the House. If Republicans take back the House during the 2022 midterm elections, a potential Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) could block an amnesty President Joe Biden or any congressional Democrats try to pass. Effectively, this could prevent an amnesty push from Democrats to 2024, when Democrats could have the chance of taking back the House.
A senior aide for a conservative Senate Republican told Breitbart News, “This reconciliation effort really is the last chance for Democrats to force amnesty on the American people. They won’t try it in an election year. And Republicans are almost guaranteed to take the House back next November, meaning at that point, we’ll be saved from it. It’s tough to over-emphasize how

Dengue virus infection causes Dengue Fever (DF), Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) and Dengue Shock Syndrome (DSS) whose pathogeneses were not clearly understood. A new hypothesis of immunopathogenesis is proposed for the development of the DHF/DSS. An aberrant immune over-activation after dengue virus infection not only impair the immune response to clear the virus, but also result in overproduction of cytokines that affect monocytes, endothelial cells, and hepatocytes, as well as the abnormal production of autoantibodies to platelet and endothelial cells. A molecular mimicry occurs between platelets/endothelial cells and dengue virus antigens. Platelets and endothelial cells are bound by the cross-reactive anti-dengue virus antibodies such as anti-NS1 or anti-prM antibodies. The IFN-γ activated macrophage would phagocytosize the osponized targets. Dengue virus-induced vasculopathy and coagulopathy are involved in the pathogenesis of hemorrhage, and the imbalance between coagulation and fibrinolysis activation increases the likelihood of severe hemorrhage in DHF/DSS. This theory of transient hemophagocytic activity in immunopathogenesis of DHF/DSS can account for specific characteristics of clinical, pathologic, and epidemiological observations in dengue virus infection.

With the increasing recognition of the importance of genetic disease in horses and other livestock, and the development of new technologies such as whole genome sequencing (WGS) and whole exome sequencing (WES), there is an increased commercial interest in the rapid development and marketing of genetic tests for horses.
WGS, specifically, is capable of identifying many dozens of alleles with predicted effects on protein structure or function that may or may not contribute to disease 1,2,3. However, it is critical that researchers conclusively demonstrate that tests based on alleles identified only by WGS are disease-causing 1,2,4.
The development and marketing of genetic tests based only on predicted effects of the allele on a protein, with incomplete assessment or acquisition of other genetic, informatic and experimental evidence, has important implications and consequences. False assignment of alleles as disease-causing and commercialization of genetic tests that are incompletely validated can have severe consequences for horses, horse owners and veterinarians and can result in incorrect diagnosis and prognosis, inappropriate treatment and management of affected individuals, poor breeding decisions, and a loss of public confidence in genetic testing and genetic research 1.
We feel it is extremely important that the equine genome research community works to generate data that will either uphold or invalidate claims of accurate and clinically useful diagnostic tests for which there is no publicly available data. Rising concern about commercialization of genetic tests for horses without documented scientific evidence has led a world-wide group of equine genetic researchers to draft a “Consensus Statement on the Translation and Application of Genomics in the Equine Industries.” (pdf)
It is also important for researchers, owners, breeders, veterinarians and commercial companies to recognize that diseases that were once assumed to be simple Mendelian traits are often more complicated than previously thought. For example, type 1 polysaccharide storage myopathy (PSSM1) caused by a mutation in the GYS1 gene, is modified by factors including diet and exercise, the presence of a RYR1 mutation, and the individual’s genetic background, including breed 5–7. Only by considering the possible impact of all potential risk and disease modifying alleles, environmental factors, as well as likely clinical outcomes based on genetic background, can appropriate decisions be made by owners, veterinarians and breeders.
In this study we aim to use our long-term expertise in genetic muscle disease in horses combined with our large network of muscle disease cases and the development of valid genetic tests to determine if the alleles currently marketed for genetic testing of type 2 polysaccharide storage myopathy (PSSM2), myofibrillar myopathy (MFM), and recurrent exertional rhabdomyolysis (RER) are indeed associated with muscle disease. In addition to looking for the impact of these alleles singly or in combination with one another, we will also determine if these alleles modify clinical muscle disease in horses with one of the four published disease mutations (HYPP, IMM, MH, PSSM1), and determine if diet or exercise impact disease expression.

Many were pleasantly surprised with the announcement of Monster Hunter: World at E3 2017. Now, Capcom has released a new gameplay trailer to get us excited for the game.
The new Monster Hunter: World gameplay trailer features loads of new gameplay mechanics that the game will be introducing to players when it releases.
Stuck in the dark or just plain lost? Players are now able to use creatures called “scout flies” (think fireflies) that will lead players in the direction of the creature they are hunting. We also get to see the game’s new multipurpose tool, The Slinger, in action. The Slinger can function both as a grappling hook and a weapon and seems like it might come in handy during hunts.
The most impressive aspect of the trailer though is how alive the world feels. It seems the developers have gone to great lengths to try and create a living eco-system. The trailer ends with the Hunter finding his prey as he tries to capture the creature.

On June 6, a NASA-financed rocket’s dispatch window will open at the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico, USA.
The point of this mission is to tally the number of stars that exist in the Universe.
While this isn’t the first occasion when such a mission has been embraced, the CIBER-2 instrument has been refined to check whether any stars had been undercounted in the past tallying endeavors.
So what is CIBER-2?
To generally gauge the number of stars in the Universe, researchers have assessed that on normal every system comprises around 100 million stars, however, this figure isn’t definite. The figure of 100 million could undoubtedly be an underestimation, likely by a factor of at least 10.
To place this into viewpoint, a normal of 100 million stars in every system (there an expected 2 trillion of them according to NASA), would give an absolute figure of 100 quintillion stars or 1 with 21 zeroes after it. NASA noticed that if this figure is precise it would imply that for each grain of sand on Earth, there are more than ten stars.
In any case, this computation accepts that all stars are inside systems, which probably won’t be valid and this is the thing that the CIBER-2 instrument will attempt to discover.
This instrument will dispatch onboard a sounding rocket, a little suborbital rocket that will convey logical instruments on brief outings into space before it falls back to Earth for recuperation.
The European Space Agency (ESA) says there could be 100 thousand million stars in the Milky Way alone. So if there are 1011 to 1012 stars in the cosmic system and around a similar number of worlds, it would mean a sum of 1022 to 1024 stars in the Universe.
How might CIBER-2 check stars?
When the instrument is over Earth’s environment, it will study a fix of the sky that will incorporate many bunches of cosmic systems. All things considered, NASA noticed that the instrument won’t really tally singular stars yet it will rather distinguish the extragalactic foundation light, which is the entirety of the light that has been transmitted since the commencement of the Universe.
From the entirety of this extragalactic foundation light, the CIBER-2 will zero in on a segment of this called inestimable infrared foundation, which is radiated by probably the most widely recognized stars. Basically, this methodology is planning to take a gander at how splendid this light is to give researchers a gauge of the number of these stars are out there.
The ESA infrared space observatory Herschel additionally included the number of systems in infrared and estimated their iridescence already.

NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft appears to be leaking tiny bits of an asteroid named Bennu, following a successful attempt to collect surface samples from the object. Engineers blame a jammed lid for what NASA is calling a minor problem.
Update: NASA has decided to stow the gathered sample material on October 27, rather than on the scheduled date of November 2. The early stow is being done to “protect and return as much of the sample as possible.”
O-REx, as NASA team members like to call it, made brief contact with the surface of Bennu on Tuesday, October 20, marking the space agency’s first attempt at collecting surface material from an asteroid. Dramatic images sent back to Earth hinted at success, with NASA confirming this past Friday that the probe collected “more than enough material,” exceeding the team’s minimum goal of at least 2 ounces (60 grams) of surface material.
Indeed, it was a picture-perfect moment, with the Touch-and-Go Sample Acquisition Mechanism (TAGSAM) head appearing flush with the surface as it sank ever-so-slightly into the soft regolith. A blast of nitrogen kicked up surface material, enveloping the sample head in a cloud of debris.
A couple of days later, however, NASA noticed bits of debris escaping from the sample collection head. The team is attributing this to a mylar lid that won’t close shut, as it’s being wedged open by larger rocks.
“We are working to keep up with our own success here, and my job is to safely return as large a sample of Bennu as possible,” explained OSIRIS-REx principle investigator Dante Lauretta in a NASA statement. “The loss of mass is of concern to me, so I’m strongly encouraging the team to stow this precious sample as quickly as possible.”
All is not lost, as the team simply needs to stow the collected debris in the spacecraft’s Sample Return Capsule before too much of it leaks out. In the meantime, the team, led by researchers from the University of Arizona, doesn’t want O-REx to make any superfluous movements, which is why they canceled the Sample Mass Measurement activity this past Saturday and also a braking burn that was supposed to happen on Friday, in order to minimize the craft’s acceleration.
Calling it a “curveball,” Thomas Zurbuchen, associate administrator for science at NASA’s headquarters in Washington, said in a statement, “we may have to move more quickly to stow the sample,” but “it’s not a bad problem to have.” He’s “excited to see what appears to be an abundant sample that will inspire science for decades beyond this historic moment.”
The team is finalizing a plan for storage, including a timeline for when that might happen. An update is expected very shortly. We should also find out if the team wants OSIRIS-REx to perform another sample collection attempt, which didn’t seem necessary before, but now, with the leaking cargo, who knows. Assuming all is well and the material can be stored in the Sample Return Capsule, the spacecraft will depart Bennu in March 2021, when Earth and the asteroid are in a favorable alignment.

Hoping that less is more
When things really go bad and terrestrial networks get wiped out or are otherwise unavailable — for example, in many areas along the Gulf Coast in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina — the value of satellite has been well-chronicled as an alternative method to communicate in such difficult situations.
But the plaudits have been accompanied by multiple criticisms of satellite technology, including the large size of satellite end-user devices, difficulties associated with the setup and operation of unfamiliar equipment, and the high costs associated with both the equipment and services from satellite providers.
Today, the satellite industry is embarking on a new generation of technology featuring massive satellites — each costing hundreds of millions of dollars — that enable user devices to shrink noticeably, making satellite technology more accessible to users. In fact, the integration of satellite capability into mobile handsets soon will be possible at a cost of just a few dollars per device. By tapping into the volumes of users long held by the cellular industry, satellite providers hope to alter their models from a premium, event-driven business to one that depends on more steady revenue flow from a broader base of customers.
If this transition can be made successfully, satellite technology should be a more effective communications tool for first responders, many of which only use satellite equipment in the more dire circumstances. The way in which satellite technology currently is used has resulted in many first-responders having the perception that satellite equipment is difficult to use — an understandable conclusion in such situations, said Hugh Donnan, enterprise vertical market manager for Stratos Global, a reseller and integrator of satellite connectivity.
“If you don’t [use satellite equipment regularly], when you hit an emergency situation like 9/11, no one has time to sit down and say, ‘OK, we need to do quick training on how this works,'” Donnan said. “Your adrenalin is pumping, there’s stuff happening, and there isn’t a moment to lose.”
To make satellite communications more accessible, industry leaders several years ago recognized the need for user devices to be capable of form factors similar to the popular portable devices that drive voice and data traffic over terrestrial cellular networks.
This realization changed the way companies like TerreStar approached designing a satellite system, company CTO Dennis Matheson said.
“The way satellites in the past have been designed is that you designed the best satellite that you could, and then you’d say, ‘OK, what is the terminal I need to be compatible with the satellite?'” Matheson said. “What we’ve done is change the paradigm. We said, ‘We know what handsets can do. Let’s design a satellite that will be able to get down to those types of terminals that everybody uses today.’ That’s why the satellite is as large as it is — so you can use a handset that you basically use today.”
In short, the larger the satellite, the smaller the device used on Earth can be. With this in mind, TerreStar is scheduled to launch the “world’s largest satellite” on June 24, Matheson said. TerreStar has designed a PDA that will operate on AT&T Mobility’s terrestrial networks and TerreStar’s satellite network when a user is unable to access an AT&T network.
“We decided that the right paradigm was for the terminal to be the terminal that you would use day in and day out, so it was not something that you had to reprogram for everybody to use when a situation occurred,” Matheson said. “It was all about making this operationally an everyday-use device.”
This philosophy is shared by SkyTerra Communications (formerly Mobile Satellite Ventures), which is the only satellite provider to offer push-to-talk service over satellite, although Matheson said TerreStar plans to do so in the future. SkyTerra expects to launch its first next-generation satellite in about a year and launch a second next-gen “bird” at the end of 2010 or very early in 2011, SkyTerra spokesman Tom Surface said.
Like TerreStar, SkyTerra has received a license from the FCC to use 2 GHz spectrum terrestrially and is pursuing partnerships to build out these ancillary terrestrial component, or ATC, networks in that band. In addition to providing dual-mode handsets that will make satellite capability a “mainstream consumer item,” SkyTerra plans to introduce devices suitable for the first-responder market, Surface said.
“We envision that there will be a ruggedized version for public safety and public service where they can use one phone to make their terrestrial phone calls, as well as falling back to satellite when the network is congested, damaged or destroyed,” he said. “It will be hardened and made to military specs, so if you drop it, it will still work. If you have gloves on, the buttons will be big enough that you can use it.”

1: The Science of Psychology
- Page ID
Psychology is usually defined as the scientific study of human behavior and mental processes, and this example illustrates the features that make it scientific. In this chapter, we look closely at these features, review the goals of psychology, and address several basic questions that students often have about it. Who conducts scientific research in psychology? Why? Does scientific psychology tell us anything that common sense does not? Why should I bother to learn the scientific approach—especially if I want to be a clinical psychologist and not a researcher? These are extremely good questions, and answering them now will provide a solid foundation for learning the rest of the material in your course.
- 1.0: Prelude to the Science of Psychology
- Many people believe that women tend to talk more than men—with some even suggesting that this difference has a biological basis. One widely cited estimate is that women speak 20,000 words per day on average and men speak only 7,000. This claim seems plausible, but is it true? A group of psychologists led by Matthias Mehl decided to find out.
- 1.1: Methods of Knowing
- The methods of acquiring knowledge can be broken down into five categories each with its own strengths and weaknesses.
- 1.2: Understanding Science
- Some people are surprised to learn that psychology is a science. Philosophers and scientists who have thought deeply about this question have concluded that what the sciences have in common is a general approach to understanding the natural world. Psychology is a science because it takes this same general approach to understanding one aspect of the natural world: human behavior.
- 1.3: Goals of Science
- Most of the phenomena and theories that fill psychology textbooks are the products of scientific research. In a typical introductory psychology textbook, for example, one can learn about specific cortical areas for language and perception, principles of classical and operant conditioning, biases in reasoning and judgment, and people’s surprising tendency to obey those in positions of authority. And scientific research continues because what we know right now only scratches the surface.
- 1.4: Science and Common Sense
- Some people wonder whether the scientific approach to psychology is necessary. Can we not reach the same conclusions based on common sense or intuition? Certainly we all have intuitive beliefs about people’s behavior, thoughts, and feelings—and these beliefs are collectively referred to as folk psychology. Although much of our folk psychology is probably reasonably accurate, it is clear that much of it is not.
- 1.5: Experimental and Clinical Psychologists
- Scientific research in psychology is generally conducted by people with doctoral degrees and master’s degrees in psychology and related fields, often supported by research assistants with bachelor’s degrees or other relevant training. Some of them work for government agencies, national associations (e.g., the American Psychological Association), non-profit organizations (e.g., the Canadian Mental Health Association), or in the private sector (e.g., in product development).

Edouard Vuillard Galleries
Jean-Edouard Vuillard, the son of a retired captain, spent his youth at Cuiseaux (Saone-et-Loire); in 1878 his family moved to Paris in modest circumstances. After his father\'s death, in 1884, Vuillard received a scholarship to continue his education. In the Lycee Condorcet Vuillard met Ker Xavier Roussel (also a future painter and Vuillard\'s future brother in law), Maurice Denis, musician Pierre Hermant, writer Pierre Veber and Lugne-Poe. On Roussel\'s advice he refused a military career and entered the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, where he met Pierre Bonnard.
In 1885, Vuillard left the Lycee Condorcet and joined his closest friend Roussel at the studio of painter Diogene Maillart. There, Roussel and Vuillard received the rudiments of artistic training.

Related Artists:BASAITI, Marco
Italian Painter, ca.1470-1530
Marco Basaiti (c. 1470?C 1530) was a Venetian painter and a rival of Giovanni Bellini. His best known works are Christ Praying in the Garden (1516) and the Calling of St. Peter and St. Andrew.
Christ praying in the GardenThought to have originated in the Balkans, his date of birth and arrival in Venice are not known, but he began to paint actively around 1496. He is generally believed to have learned to paint in the workshops of Alvise Vivarini. Basaiti worked primarily with religious themes, but he also did portraits. Contrary to the trends of the time, he used very bright colours in rendering his religious subjects.Max Koch
(born July 17, 1854 - April 1, 1925) was a German-born Australian botanical collector.
Born in Berlin, Koch was apprenticed to a merchant's office, but, not liking the work, joined the crew of a Glasgow-based sailing ship at Bremerhaven. He left it at Port Augusta, South Australia in April 1878, taking work at a wheat farm. Later he moved to Mount Lyndhurst sheep station, where he remained for many years. Around 1896 he began serious botanical collecting.
Koch visited Germany around 1902-1903, then returned to Australia, and in 1904 moved to the extreme south-west of Western Australia, where he spent the next 17 years working in the timber industry. By that time he had a large family, and he supplemented his income by plant specimens, and, in his later years, seed. He died at Pemberton, Western Australia in 1925

The article written by Elizabeth Beaumont reveals how gender-based biases impact an individual’s behavior, which in turn spreads inequality. The author explained that there is a gendered cycle of inequality endorsed by laws and policies which undermines multiple opportunities and discriminates against one sex. Gender-based disparities result in severe legal conflicts, and when considering them in terms of justice, they are typically neglected (Beaumont, 2016). In trying to balance the situation, the researchers encountered the problem of false gender neutrality, which means that both sexes remain unequal, despite all attempts by feminists to rise to the same positions as men. The critical insight I got from reading this article is that to establish equality between men and women, it is vital not to leave females invisible since they may influence society in a way that males do.
The second study focuses on the juridical system and if gender affects employment in this field. The main difference between these two articles is that the second one presumes to conduct the experimental research while the former reviews existing literature. According to Eigenberg et al. (2012), historically, women were deprived of the opportunity to take high positions in the jurisdiction. However, surveys have shown that women’s role and gender neutrality in legal proceedings currently ensure fundamental justice. The exceptional point is that the nature of gender is complicated to comprehend since each individual bears a separate concept for this notion. Realizing how people “do gender” may define how they “do justice” not only in court but in everyday life as well. Hence, gender neutrality must be the determining factor for candidates’ selection since biological features do not fully represent personality.

The state Legislature made clear from the beginning of its planning for this summer’s special session that it was acting in response to protests that developed across the state and around the nation following the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis. Legislators said the time is now to act on a series of meaningful changes to state law that would allow a new measure of justice to take hold. They can’t falter now just as they near the point of action.
Gov. Ned Lamont and legislative leaders made clear that the parameters of the special session were to be limited to keep the Assembly from being distracted and that only the most pressing issues would take focus. One of these was ensuring the use of absentee ballots for the November election as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, and despite some protests from Republicans, that measure appears to be on track, as it must be.
Also on the limited agenda was police accountability, a direct result of the wave of peaceful protests. Legislators were adamant that now is the time for action, including a section on qualified immunity, under which officers would lose protections from lawsuits over misconduct. Law enforcement advocates have predictably resisted, but now they have been joined by some legislative Democrats. Lamont has also wavered.
The issue remains fluid, but the worst result would be for legislators to allow police reform to die over any one part of the agenda, no matter how important. This bill, which also includes a ban on choke holds, mandatory body and dashboard cameras, an inspector general to oversee investigations into police misconduct and other measures, is a core reason why the Legislature is meeting at all. Lawmakers cannot let the issue die without action.
Equally of note is what is not on the agenda for the special session. Senate Democrats, in previewing the special session this summer, said they wanted a wide range of antidiscrimination measures brought up, including on housing and health care. Connecticut is by many measures a highly segregated state, and introducing ways to increase affordable housing is one of the best methods to counteract that.
Just as with police accountability, there is wide and growing support for integrative housing measures that the Legislature could easily take up. Zoning is primarily handled by local jurisdictions, but there is nothing stopping the state from taking on a greater role. A movement to allow a greater variety of housing diversity in exclusive suburban communities would have positive effects, and it’s something the state could do at no cost to anyone.
Here, too, the momentum for change won’t last forever. The Legislature must ensure that affordable housing and integration is a priority for its next session, in September or whenever it happens. As with police accountability, it’s an issue that can’t be allowed to fall to the wayside.
The drive to make real change in a state like Connecticut that’s averse to major shifts in public policy doesn’t happen often. This is one of those times. Police accountability must move forward, and then the priority needs to move to housing. Now is the time.

DEL026 1220483 Improving sediment management in river systems with reservoirs
Aanleiding van het project
Sediment management in hydropower dams is of crucial importance, both for economic as ecologic reasons. Sedimentation in reservoirs may lead to loss of active storage and blockage of the inlets and consequently loss of economic value. For the ecological value (e.g. fish habitat) a proper mix of sediment is important. Many hydropower companies around the world are therefor interested to improve the sediment management of the reservoirs. J-Power, the largest electric utility in Japan, is actively seeking to jointly develop knowledge and techniques to improve their gate operation for better management of the sediment trapped in the reservoirs and spread of sediment downstream.
Doel van het project
Expand the knowledge on sustainable sediment management in reservoirs and generate generic tools, like numerical models (Delft3D). With these knowledge and tools reservoir operators can be advised on how to optimize their sediment management.
In the current project the Funagira dam will serve as a case study on how the gate operation can help to improve the sediment management. Currently the gate operation is optimized by trial and error. By setting up a numerical model (Delft3D), including the gate operation (Real Time Control Module (RTC)), the gate operation pattern can be optimized.
The case study will be elaborated to investigate:
– the mobilization of sediment in the reservoir in the upstream part (lifetime of the reservoir).
– the influence of the jet of water coming across the dam on sediment transport downstream (erosion sedimentation problems downstream)
– behaviour and sorting mechanisms of graded sediment (ecological purposes).
1. Literature survey on sediment management in reservoirs.
2. Case study Funagira dam:
Numerical model setup and runs to study the influence of the gate operation pattern on the sediment flow through the dam and the sediment behaviour downstream (NB. Results will be compared with scale model tests and field data).
3. Improve the numerical tools by including the dam operation (Delft3D and RTC) for modelling the behaviour of sediment up- and downstream of hydropower dams.
4. Study on the mobilization of sediment in the reservoir, the flow over the dam and the sorting mechanisms downstream of the dam.
Numerical model with which sediment behaviour in the reservoir, across the dam and downstream of a hydropower dam can be studied for different gate operations. This will be done with Delft3D in combination with the RTC module.
Scientific paper on the results, together with JPower and to be presented in one of the international conferences (e.g. International Symposium on River Sedimentation, ICOLD annual meeting, Hydro conference, RCEM)
Animations to provide insight on the sediment behaviour across and downstream of the dam
PS. J-Power and Deltares (previously WL-Delft) have a long collaboration of 15 years. In March a meeting will be held on continuation of this collaboration. A TKI grant will help to further strengthen and improve the collaboration, which gives the ideal opportunity to combine their field data and scale model results with our numerical modelling tools.
State of the art models that simulate the complex sediment behaviour around hydropowerdams in combination with the gate operation rarely exist. Setting up models which can simulate all these aspects and by improving the modelling suits (Delft3D and RTC module), we will be 1) at the forefront of modelling sediment in hydropower dams and reservoirs 2) able to train operation managers how to optimize their dam operation. These models and knowledge can subsequently be generalized and used in future projects on sediment management in reservoirs.
Results will be published in a scientific paper, together with JPower. The knowledge will furthermore be shared with the client/ dam operators via reports, movies and possibly trainings. As Delft3D is open source, all improvements made for modelling sediment behaviour in reservoirs will automatically be available to the world wide community of Delft3D. Last but not least, gate operation managers can optimize their gate operation for better sediment management based on the knowledge and models from this project. Optimizing the sediment management will reduce maintance costs and may improve the ecological values downstream, for the Funagira (this project) and other hydropower dams (future projects).

As the volume of data for the Internet continues to grow, organizations need to take security in data surgical procedures seriously. Not only are they responsible for keeping user and customer facts safe, but they are also lawfully obligated to defend such info. In fact, various industries have got regulations requiring organizations to maintain the privacy and security of customer and buyer information.
In the event that data reliability is certainly not taken seriously, establishments face severe risks, starting from fines to operational interruptions to individual bankruptcy. Fortunately, there are solutions that can look after companies via many of these dangers. While they can’t prevent each and every threat, they will minimize the damage they may cause. For small enterprises and companies alike, data security is crucial to their achievement.
Investing in data security isn’t a one-time project; this can be a continual process. Using the proper practices and technologies is important. Companies must also train their employees to know potential hazards. One miscalculation could accept the entire network to a halt. In addition, businesses must ensure data integrity, which is the accuracy and reliability and consistency of data.
To assure data security, companies ought to know exactly where data is stored and what it is used for. It might be critical to learn who has use of sensitive data and what data is no longer needed. An information inventory facilitates identify reliability gaps, as well as the next step is normally implementing solutions and techniques to minimize info exposure.
Data security can easily protect your computer data from unauthorized access, improper use, and deletion. It can also preserve your business out of reputational damage and even economical losses. Businesses are increasingly purchasing cybersecurity capabilities. Safeguarding data out of hackers is important to their success, so they are simply prepared to spend money on high-quality security.
Tokenization is a good data security method that moves sensitive data into a accidental string of characters that cannot be suspected by cyber-terrorist. It’s a lot more secure than standard data wiping and ensures that data cannot be recovered by a great unintended get together. Another option is by using data hiding orangesun.pl software program, which face masks important information and makes it unreadable to anyone but the authorized end user.
Security is certainly an ongoing process that must be enforced and utilized by almost all employees. CISOs and THAT directors will need to establish a info security insurance plan and provide training to all staff members. Most companies own designated clubs of individuals to oversee secureness, but data security is usually the responsibility of employees. In a world where human error is a major contributor to security removes, ensuring the security of hypersensitive data is vital.
When it comes to data security, the procedure begins with data discovery. Companies need to know what kinds of data they have. This data will help these people create protection policies and tools. As data is constantly on the become a component to business procedures, data protection is more essential.

Coltrane’s A Love Supreme: Live in Amsterdam reissue from the Branford Marsalis Quartet out now and available on vinyl for the very first time Read more »
Review: Duo's music is 'pure artistry'
Publication: Durham Herald-Sun
Author: Cliff Bellamy
Date: June 3, 2011
There’s so much that is special about the music on “Songs of Mirth and Melancholy.” The release (due to hit stores Tuesday) is the first time Durham resident and NCCU artist in residence Branford Marsalis and Joey Calderazzo, the longtime pianist for Marsalis’ quartet, have recorded as a duo. The music also was recorded at Hayti Heritage Center, and the sound that comes across on this disc is another argument for preserving the Bull City’s great historic spaces.
Then there is the music — three original compositions by Marsalis, four by Calderazzo, plus an arrangement of Wayne Shorter’s “Face on the Barroom Floor” and Johannes Brahms’ “Die Trauernde.” In his press materials, Marsalis says the Brahms composition is the inspiration “for how we approach everything as a duo.”
Marsalis (who plays soprano and tenor saxophones on these compositions) and Calderazzo have a musical sixth sense, and on this recording you sense them breathing together in the way they play phrases. Note for example the brief pause that takes place after Marsalis’ initial solos on his composition “The Bard Lachrymose” and on Calderazzo’s “La Valse Kendall,” before Calderazzo subtly moves into his solos.
In his liner notes, Marsalis includes a prominent quote from composer Darius Milhaud on the importance of melody in music, and in addition to Marsalis’ gorgeous playing of the Brahms melody, he and Calderazzo have crafted some memorable, at times stunning, melodies themselves. Listen to Calderazzo’s “Hope,” and Marsalis’ “Precious,” as examples of pure artistry and beauty — tunes you will walk away singing.
Because of its convenience and availability in our time, music too often becomes mere background sound. Marsalis and Calderazzo will have none of that: This is music that makes you want to slow down, sit quietly, and listen with no distractions.

Import, Export, Trade for MSMEs: The non-implementation of the new export benefit scheme Remission of Duties and Taxes on Export Products (RoDTEP) is hurting exporters making them uncompetitive in the international market.
Earlier exporters were given a wide array of input tax benefits such as Merchandise Exports from India Scheme (MEIS) and others. These were all withdrawn by the government last year, and a single export benefit scheme RoDTEP that was applicable on all export goods was introduced, effective from January 1st, 2021.
RoDTEP is a remission of duties and taxes paid to exporters on production inputs such as electricity tax, diesel tax, panchayat tax, stamp duty. The idea is to boost exports and make the Indian exporter competitive in the international market.
However, the subsidy has been in place for the last three months but the government has not notified the rates. The exporters still don’t have inkling on whether they will get a benefit of two per cent or five per cent, restricting their ability to price products competitively.
“The rates are important for the industry because whatever the benefits the exporter gets from the government they factor it in their product’s prices, passing a part of it to the buyer,” says Ajay Sahai, Director General, Federation of Indian Export Organisation (FIEO).
“While it impacts each and every exporter, it hits the exporters in the commodities business the most as they operate on wafer-thin margins and are largely dependent on government’s benefits,” says Sahai. It has brought an element of uncertainty in trading and in the absence of rates many exporters are reluctant to finalise their contracts, he adds.
By June 2020, several export promotion councils including FIEO and Plastics Export Promotion Council (PLEXCONCIL) had submitted data to the government that exporters need to be compensated to the tune of 2-5% depending on the place of manufacturing.The manufacturing units situated near the port have less percentage versus those set ups that are farther inland.
Also, there is confusion in how the subsidy will be implemented, says Ravish Kamath, CEO of Big Bags International and past Chairman PLEXCONCIL. As of now the RoDTEP system does not allow the exporters to apply for the export benefit if they have availed duty free inputs against advanced import licences (the benefit for import of duty free material).
He explains, when an exporter uploads the shipping bill in the system to avail the RoDTEP benefit, there is a column that asks if they have taken an ‘advanced import licence’ for import of raw material. If an exporter replies in affirmative, then they cannot avail it.
On an average, an exporter in a year ends up with a profit of 5-8 per cent pre-tax. So, if the subsidy of say four per cent is withdrawn, it impacts almost half of their profit.
The government has been introducing several measures to boost exports from the country but delaying such incentive schemes will put the country on a back foot. “India has been talking about the stability of the policy regime to attract investment but that can’t happen unless it starts rolling out schemes that are complete with all its nuts and bolts in place so there is no element of uncertainty for the industry,” says experts.

After reviewing the following recent blog postings (Top 30 popular websites Using CSS and Using Tables), I just want to state my own opinions regarding Tables vs. CSS based design.
Okay, I will use tables for *SOME* design decisions.. if there are more than two items that need to be side by side, I will use tables… I will not nest another element other than header, and anchor tags inside a table data element.
Why? Because CSS works best for an outer layout… the main portions of a site can be worked out well with CSS… At this point, I usually only need a main CSS sheet and one for IE6… IE lower than 6 is not important… Also, mixing stylesheet rules in nested tables in IE6 outside of XP will blow up, and not render if the page gets *too* big, where that is depends on the complexity of nesting and the content.. using CSS for the outer/main layout works best, sometimes based on information, tables work best for inner content…
If you are incapable of realizing why tables are a bad idea for the majority of a layout/site, you are simply more of an artist than a true designer… The design and development of web applications, and complex sites is best left to those with some basic understanding of an engineering, or architectural approach, which is to blend style with technique.. not all one or the other.
I plan on following up with a general approach I tend to use with layout design... For the most part a lot of the way I will do a site's layout is consistant... even with some varying look and feel. I really like to see a nice clean layout from the html side... it doesn't even take a complex stylesheet to accomplish.

The Model 1908 Vest Pocket is a compact, hammerless, striker-fired, semi-automatic single action pistol. Manufactured by the Colt`s Manufacturing Company from 1908 to 1948, it was marketed as a small concealable firearm which could be easily tucked into a gentleman`s vest pocket for unobtrusive carry. Created by famed firearms designer John Moses Browning. The Patent was sold to Colt. The Model 1908 followed Browning’s earlier European version, introduced by Fabrique Nationale de Herstal as the FN Model 1905. Both pistols were chambered for the Browning-invented.25 ACP (Automatic Colt pistol) cartridge.
Known as the Model `N` internally within Colt, the 1908 Vest Pocket is a diminutive 4.5 inches (114,3 mm) long, and sports a 2 inch (51 mm) barrel. Weighing a mere 13 ounces (369 gr), it is fed by a six round single column magazine. The pistol`s fixed open iron sights were rather small and rudimentary, but typical for small hideout automatics of its era and adequate for the short range at which it was intended to be used. Colt`s advertising and marketing literature of the time highly touted the advanced safety features of the Model 1908, including a standard slide-locking safety catch, as well as a grip safety. In 1916 Colt engineer George Tansley invented a third safety feature for the pistol, the magazine safety disconnector, which prevented accidental firing with the magazine removed. This additional safety device was added to production in 1916 or 1917 in the latter 139,000 serial number range, and patented by Colt in 1917. Proud of the state-of-the-art technology represented by this advance, Colt included a green brochure marking its inclusion with every Model 1908 sold for a year after its introduction. Additionally, in approximately the 280,000 serial number range, the left side slide inscription was altered to include the patent date for the disconnector, also known as the “Tansley Device”.
The ‘Vest Pocket` was mainly produced with the famous highly polished lustrous Colt Royal blue finish, featuring color-casehardening of the safety catch, grip safety, and trigger. A second popular option was polished nickel plate, and various specialty and customer order finishes were also available, including gold and silver plating, as well as ornate engraving. Standard grip materials available included black hard rubber in both square and round top configurations, and finely checked walnut. All factory grips sported a medallion emblazoned with the famous `Rampant Colt` which was available in 2 differing styles. More elaborate grip options were also offered, such as Ivory (both plain and carved), as well as mother of pearl.
In 40 years of production a total of approximately 420,705 Model 1908 pistols were manufactured, pausing only during 1943-1945 due to the demands of wartime production.

Her mother, Rosemary Ferguson, is British, of Scottish and Northern Irish descent, and moved to Sweden at the age of 25. Rebecca attended an English-speaking school in Sweden and was raised bilingual, speaking Swedish and English. As a student, she attended the Adolf Fredrik’s Music School in Stockholm and graduated in 1999. She came into prominence with her breakout role of upper-class girl Anna Gripenhielm in the soap-opera Nya tider (1999), when she was 16 years old. She lives in the seaside town of Simrishamn, on the Swedish south coast. Ferguson has said she wanted to get away from city life and the public spotlight following her soap opera success.

Her co-star, Tom Cruise, chose her for the film after having seen her in the mini-series Белая королева (2013). Her performance in the movie was highly praised and Rebecca will reprise her role in the sixth Mission: Impossible film. In 2016, she starred in Несмотря на падающий снег (2016), Примадонна (2016) and Девушка в поезде (2016).

In an exciting take on a post-apocalyptic world we find ourselves face to face with a strange phenomenon: human beings are being swallowed up and turned into gelatinous creatures that look and smell much like tar. Tarbabies Book 2 The Siege at Friendly Haven by Allen R. Brady is a point-of-view adventure story about residents of an assisted living facility and how they handle the tarbaby infestation. Being the second book in a series, a reader may think it imperative to read the first, but Brady does a fantastic job of treating this tale as a stand-alone. The story shifts from the points of view of various residents in Friendly Haven and their individual takes on the epidemic. While you don’t really know how or why the tarbabies have come into existence, it doesn’t really matter. They’re out there, just outside the window of Friendly Haven and the residents are all trapped inside. Or are they?
This book was a delightful read. While the end of the world as most know it is hardly light reading, the sheer ridiculousness of humanity morphing into some strange black things that swallow every human being they touch brings a sense of comedy to the stark reality of this world. Referred to with names like Gummi Man or Sloppy Joe, it scales back the seriousness of the story. Brady does a great job as he shifts from each person’s point of view. He effortlessly moves between men, women and varying ages. Each person has their own distinct personality which can be difficult when telling a tale in this fashion. The fact that our protagonists don’t fully understand how the tarbabies came to be, makes it easier for the reader, because it’s told from the characters points of view. Our protagonists don’t know, and it’s okay that we also don’t know.
Brady crafts his tale in such a way that the reactions to the situation are all very realistic. It’s hard to determine how people would truly react to humanity becoming blobs, but Brady takes a very good stab at how he thinks things would unfold. The energy and action in this book are constantly on the go, which is a perfect distraction.

Lydia is a sixteen-year-old girl living at a boarding school. Her mother died when she was young and her grandmother Maria raised her. On her sixth birthday, Maria gave Lydia a bronze mirror and told her to treat it like she would treat herself. She grew up on the run, moving at a moment’s notice, trying to stay one step ahead of a killer with a scarred face. Maria thinks Lydia will be safe at the school, so she leaves her there, then disappears. The boarding school is reserved for students with mirrors like Lydia’s. Unlike regular mirrors, these show the reflection of a spirit. Lydia learns to talk to the reflection that she calls Phoebus. She has a few friends, but she’s obsessed with finding her grandmother.
When the headmaster of the school forces Lydia to compete in a mirror contest, Lydia and Phoebus hatch a plan to run away and find her grandmother. They escape after the contest, and a helpful stranger sets them on the trail of a conspiracy that goes back centuries. But the Managers of the reflections are in pursuit, and Lydia becomes a fugitive. She and Mario—a friend of her grandmother—chase clues all over Europe. They discover the truth of Lydia’s past, and uncover a hidden power that could change the world.
There are some good things to like about this book. Lydia is a strong-

Masters Student Presents Research at International Conference
Muneer Barnawi poses at the Materials Science Conference
"Successful people are not gifted, they just work hard and succeed on purpose." G.K. Nielson.
Muneer Barnawi is a second-year Master of Science student in Chemical Engineering at Youngstown State University. Muneer is working in the Material Science Laboratory under the advisement of Dr. Pedro Cortes. He has been given a chance to apply his knowledge and skills in the material science research lab, thanks to the Assured Digital Microelectronic Education and Training Ecosystem (ADMETE) Grant introduced to YSU. Muneer has been given the opportunity to excel in his research and investigation of Additive Manufacturing and the Metalizing of 3D printed parts via the electroplating processes. He also investigates the electroplating of 3D printed antennas fabricated using shape-memory polymer technology. Shape-memory polymer is a smart material that could deform in shape and recover to the original shape upon a particular stimulus such as thermal, electrical, or chemical. This research resulted in the production of sustainable and economically viable 3D-printed antennas. Muneer travelled to Columbus this past October to present his research at the 2021 International Material Science & Technology (MS&T) Conference in Columbus, OH. This opportunity allowed him to share his research with other organizations, institutions, professors, and students who have shown interest in the same field.
“This experience changed my view on research” Barnawi said about the 2021 MS&T experience. “The diversity in projects and interests displayed at this conference demonstrated the significance of all STEM fields and their importance to continuous scientific development. I am grateful to have been able to share my knowledge and research with others while gaining insight on other projects developing within in the STEM field.”
With the completion of the metallizing of 3D-printed antenna project, Muneer is now working on creating a method to 3D-print lithium batteries.

1. It was built to the design of the British Viscountess Court architect
The first owner of the palace, Governor-General of Novorossiya Count up Vorontsov, was an Anglophile – the son of the Russian ambassador, he spent his childhood and youth in London. Judging to have his summer residence in Crimea built in the English style, he invited Edward Blore, an architect and antiquarian acclaimed for his work for the British Royal Court. Blore designed the main façade of Buckingham Chѓteau, completing work begun by John Nash, who had resigned. Blore was also complicated in the reconstruction of St. James’s Palace in London and he built the Salisbury Tower at Windsor Palace. However, he never visited Crimea and it was his assistant William Hunt who did out the project.

2. The architecture and interiors bring together different styles and eras
The construction of the villa took 20 years – from 1828 to 1848. Eventually a chѓteau consisting of five wings and 150 rooms emerged at the foot of the Ai-Petri mountain on the strand near Yalta. Apparently inspired by genuine English castles that had been completed by consecutive generations, Blore used elements from different eras – there are out-of-the-way medieval towers next to glazed bay windows, and high chimneys with decorative locales, as well as large Tudor-style windows.

In the 19th century the Turkish alter could still be felt in Crimea and the architect added Moorish media – a horseshoe arch over the south gate and towers that look like minarets.

3. The sculptures for the main staircase were commissioned in Italy
One of the uncountable spectacular architectural features is the staircase of the southern facade that mains to the park that descends to the sea.

Its main decoration is a set of Carrara marble lions, demanded from the workshop of Italian sculptor Giovanni Bonanni. The master himself chiseled a charming sleeping lion but he entrusted his assistants with carving a waking lion and wide-awake lions.

4. The landscaped park was laid out by a German botanist
A large landscaped estate was no less important a part of the estate than the palace – the laying out of the parkland started two years prior to the construction of the house.

Acclaimed German landscape gardener Carolus Keebach get someone all steamed on the park. Having been tasked by Vorontsov to create “a winter garden in the outstretched air”, he planted exotic trees and plants, making sure that they underwent root in the new environment. All new plants at the nearby Imperial Nikitsky Botanical Gardens right now appeared in the garden of Count Vorontsov.

5. The mid-19th century interiors impressionable unchanged
Despite the turbulent history of the 20th century, the principal interiors of the palatial home are virtually untouched. The mid-19th century was an eclectic period and the rooms were spruce in different historical styles. The Hall with its wooden ceiling, titanic armchairs and family portraits is reminiscent of English castle traditions, while the infuriates in the Chinese Study are covered with mats of fine rice straw.

John Hollingshead was a journalist and manager of the Gaiety theatre.
According to Hollingshead, Whistler attended the last rehearsals at the Gaiety Theatre of the Grasshopper, Hollinghead's adaption of Henri Meilhac & Ludovic Halévy's La Cigale, in which a caricature of Whistler painted by Pellegrini appeared. It was first performed on 13 October 1877. Whistler was particularly enamoured with Nellie Farren who played the 'grasshopper', a girl who escaped from a circus troupe. Whistler described her in a letter to Theodore Watts Dunton as 'the belle Farina' (#09575). In January 1878 Whistler made a drawing of her in performance, on the back of a letter to B. Verity and Sons, r.: Masked girl wearing a head-dress skipping; v.: Dancer (M.663) and Souvenir of the Gaiety (M.664). The Greaves family state that Oscar Wilde, Frank Miles and Whistler actually had a song and dance act in the farce. Whistler also made several pen drawings in October 1877 of the accompanying burlesque Little Dr Faust by H. J. Byron.

EADS Space has been awarded a EUR600k Study by ESA to carry out the first definition of a European Mars Sample Return (MSR) mission. The study will benefit from the combined resources of EADS Astrium and EADS Space Transportation.
While EADS Astrium will define the overall mission and the spacecraft, EADS Space Transportation will be responsible for defining re-entry systems and a ‘Mars Ascent Vehicle’ – a small rocket to carry the precious sample up through the Martian atmosphere. European astronauts may land on Mars one day, but getting them there and safely returning them to Earth will involve many steps and numerous technical challenges in propulsion, structures, computers and software. It will require sophisticated spacecraft to escape from Earth’s orbit; fly to Mars, survive atmospheric entry and landing; operate on the surface; take-off; return to Earth and then finally get the crew back on terra firma.
Long before this can be accomplished some key technologies must be demonstrated. The best way to do this is to fly a robotic mission with a scaled-down version of the eventual manned mission. This is exactly the goal of Mars Sample Return, the second flagship mission of the European Space Agency’s Aurora planetary exploration initiative and one of the most eagerly awaited future space missions for the planetary scientists. Because Martian winds have transported dust across the planet’s surface over millions of years, the MSR sample could include particles from many different sources, representing a wide variety of rock types and ages, like grains of sand on a beach.
Each granule could offer completely different insights into the rich geologic past of the Red Planet. Scientists could now “look at the sample as if each grain were a rock,” said Professor Colin Pillinger of the Open University. This would build on the decades of research already carried out on lunar rock samples. EADS Space has used its unique heritage in building launch vehicles, planetary spacecraft and re-entry systems, combined with a deep understanding of the science goals to win the ESA mission study.
ESA’s Aurora Project Manager Bruno Gardini said “The Mars Sample Return mission is one of the most challenging missions ever considered by ESA. Not only does it include many new technologies and four or five different spacecraft, but it is also a mission of tremendous scientific importance and the first robotic mission with a similar profile to a possible human expedition to Mars.” Business Manager for new space science projects at EADS Astrium, Dr Dave Parker said: “Mars Sample Return is the holy grail for planetary scientists.
It has been studied in the US for some years, but now Europe will tackle the technical and cost problems with renewed vigour.”
Marie-Claire Perkinson, Senior Systems Engineer at EADS Astrium, Stevenage, leading the study said. “Mars Sample Return has so many technical challenges that we need an outstanding group of experts. Our industrial team includes EADS Space in France; Galileo Avionica in Italy, Sener in Spain and Utopia Consultancies in Germany.”
Once ESA raises the appropriate support and funds for the implementation of the MSR mission, launch could be as early as 2011. EADS Astrium is wholly owned by EADS SPACE. In 2002 EADS SPACE had a turnover of EUR2.2 billion and 12,300 employees in France, Germany, the United Kingdom and Spain.

Papasodora helps Kentucky rifle team win NCAA Championships
The junior marksman shot a perfect score in one of her smallbore rounds and racked up 1,166 points in all as Kentucky edged top-ranked West Virginia by just nine points in Charleston, South Carolina.
Papasodora, of Eagle River High fame, was one of five Kentucky shooters to participate in the national championships.
She posted high scores of 588 out of 600 in the air rifle and 578 in the smallbore.
With Papasodora’s assistance, the Wildcats posted their second-highest smallbore score of the season and then shot 2372 in air rifle to combine for the team’s highest aggregate score of the season at 4717.
Kentucky last won the NCAA rifle title in 2011.

AccuBattery – Protects Battery Health, Displays Battery Usage Information for Android
AccuBattery measures the actual battery usage using information from the battery charge controller. Battery usage per app is determined by combining these measurements with information on which app is in the foreground. Android calculates battery usage using pre-baked profiles that device manufacturers provide, like how much power the CPU uses. In practice however, these numbers tend to be highly inaccurate.
– Monitor how much battery your device is using
– Know how long you can use your device when it’s active or in standby mode
– Find out how much power each app uses.
– Check how often your device gets woken up from deep sleep.

A research paper by an international team of astronomers provides sound arguments in favour, but the definitive answer is now awaiting further observations. Manager: Skip to comments. NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope has found that the hottest part of a distant planet, named upsilon Andromedae b, is not under the glare of its host star as might be expected. This is an artist's impression of the view from the vicinity of a hypothetical terrestrial planet and moon orbiting the red dwarf star AU Microscopii. This artistic concept image compares Earth, left, with Kepler-452b, which is about 60% larger. Astronomers have unveiled the best candidate yet for the first direct image of an extrasolar planet. Pat Brennan The astronomers captured a “glint of light” of B Pictoris c, by means of the Very Large Telescope, located in Chile's Atacama Desert. Kristen Walbolt The direct imaging of four planets in a far-away star system. NASA. The radial velocity data were used to calculate the exoplanet's mass and orbit; it clocks in at around 8.2 times the mass of Jupiter, and orbits the star at 2.7 astronomical units, with an orbital period of 3.4 years. This Is The First Photo of an Exoplanet Candidate 1,200 Light-Years Away This diagram shows how astronomers observed a distant gas giant planet around OGLE-2005-BLG-169 using microlensing. Based on these observations, astronomers calculated that the planet is in a 2,000-year-long, highly elliptical orbit. 2M1207b - First image of an exoplanet This composite image shows an exoplanet (the red spot on the lower left), orbiting the brown dwarf 2M1207 (centre). The system 2M1207 lies at a distance of 230 light-years, in the constellation of Hydra. But now, astronomers have revealed images of an indirectly found exoplanet. Now, the same telescope, using the same instrument, has taken the first direct image of a planetary system around a star like our Sun, located about 300 light-years away and known as TYC 8998-760-1. Astronomers capture first direct image of an exoplanet located some 63 light-years from Earth using the Very Large Telescopes in Chile Astronomers captured the first image of the exoplanet b Pictoris c The planet is 63 light-years away from Earth and located in another star system The team used a method used to detect planets […] They unveiled their newly discovered exoplanet – β Pic c – last year. 2M1207b is the first exoplanet directly imaged and the first discovered orbiting a brown dwarf. This is not the only exoplanet to be discovered using direct imaging. The vast majority of planets near foreign stars are discovered by astronomers with the help of sophisticated methods. This artist’s impression shows the formation of a gas giant planet in the ring of dust around the young star HD 100546. (GRAVITY Collaboration/Axel M. Quetz, MPIA Graphics Department), unveiled their newly discovered exoplanet - β Pic c - last year. NASA's Kepler mission confirmed the discovery of its first rocky planet, named Kepler-10b. The exoplanet is Beta Pictoris c (β Pic c), a gas giant orbiting the star - you guessed it - Beta Pictoris, just 63 light-years away. © ScienceAlert Pty Ltd. All rights reserved. Those years of wobble data provided an excellent profile of the exoplanet's movement; the ExoGRAVITY team, led by astronomer Mathias Nowak of the University of Cambridge in the UK, was able to home in on the location and obtain direct images. Fomalhaut b, a directly imaged exoplanet This false-color composite image, taken with the Hubble Space Telescope, reveals the orbital motion of the planet Fomalhaut b. In this model, the exoplanet has no solid core, and forms hotter and brighter. The resulting exoplanet has a solid core, and forms cooler and dimmer. Its planetary identity and characteristics were confirmed after one year of observations in 2005.

“Scientists fear antimicrobial residues from factories in India have the potential to spark a new health crisis with drug-resistant bacteria.” [Source: telegraph.co.uk]
Concern over antimicrobial residues from drug companies in India comes as pharmaceutical water pollution has also now been detected deep in the Brazilian Amazon. Major rivers of the Amazon Basin of Brazil have been found to be contaminated with a wide range of pharmaceuticals. A report published earlier this year found that pollution of the world’s rivers from pharmaceutical products poses a serious threat to environmental and global health.
Around the world pharmaceutical companies have been polluting the environment for decades now, with the result that even drinking water supplies have become contaminated with measurable amounts of dangerous chemical drugs. Rarely admitted by public health authorities, the fact is that water treatment plants were never designed to deal with the presence of toxic pharmaceutical compounds.
To learn more about the various ways in which drug industry pollution is affecting food chains, water supplies, and the environment, see this article on our website.

Update: This post is now outdated! We ended up using a similar, but much improved, spectral interference method using a broadband laser source instead of the continuous-wave HeNe laser. The method is described in the publication on the spectrometer design.
Here is a quick rundown on how the delay stages are calibrated to relate the rotation angle to the delay time of the laser pulse.
An interferometer is built by inserting a mirror/beamsplitter combination after the delays to interfere pairs of the four beams. A Helium-Neon (HeNe) laser is used as the light source, as the atomic emission at 632.8 nm is very well defined — a requirement to make a nice interference pattern and for use in the calibration fit equation.
Here we show the vertical configuration of the beamsplitter/mirror combination, which interferes the top and bottom beams, directing them downwards towards the table. The beam is directed to a fibre-optic which feeds the spectrograph and camera.
I think this is the first look here at some of the spectrometer software! The intensity at the 632.8 nm laser line is collected as a function of one of the rotational stage angles. The rotational stage is swept between 0° (glass perpendicular to beam) to around 45°. An interference pattern is generated.
The grey trace is the raw intensity data as a function of rotational stage angle. The yellow trace is with a Savitzky–Golay noise filter applied. The red trace, and the yellow curve in the bottom panel show the theoretical angle-to-delay relationship. As the data is collected, or when the “Fit” button pressed, the fit is performed and the three fitting parameters (α, β, γ) are determined. The fit can also be adjusted in realtime as the parameters are changed manually.
The theoretical model of the glass angle vs delay match the data very well across the entire range of rotation angles. That’s good, as it’s pretty fundamental to the whole spectrometer design!

Alderman Deborah Graham has proposed an ordinance that would prevent restaurants in Chicago’s dry precincts from allowing customers or caterers to bring their own alcohol.
According to a report by the Chicago Sun-Times, Graham said she intended her ordinance to address one banquet hall, but if passed the new rule could have a major effect on establishments throughout the city. Perhaps the most dramatic effect would be on the Museum of Science and Industry, the Sun-Times said, since it hosts as many as 900 events per year there, many of which serve alcohol, even though it is in a dry district.
Previously, Graham was quoted by the Sun-Times saying that she is trying to enforce the spirit of existing rules for dry districts by closing a loophole.
The city’s web site has an interactive map displaying dry districts, searchable by address. Graham’s proposal is expected to go before the full City Council later this month.

BOCA RATON -- Police officers remember Patrick K. Behan as the patrol officer who always shouted a hearty ``good night`` to his co-workers as he left the midnight shift early each morning.
Last fall, he said goodbye to his co-workers and joined the Broward Sheriff`s Office. Ten weeks later, Behan was dead.
On Nov. 13, 1990, Behan was shot in his patrol car after responding to a shoplifitng call on Hallandale Beach Boulevard.
On Thursday, Boca Raton police honored Behan, 1990 Officer of the Year, in a ceremony at the station. The tribute was one of hundreds around the nation this week in recognition of Police Memorial Day.
``Patrick may have been wearing a different uniform when he was tragically killed,`` Police Chief Peter Petracco said. ``But he was one of us. He was one of the hundreds of police officers who gave their lives for the communities they lived and worked in.``
Behan, 29, was among 10 Florida officers killed in 1990. Nationwide, 122 officers were killed on the job last year. No law enforcement officers were killed in Palm Beach County last year.
Petracco and Boca Raton Mayor Emil Danciu dedicated a plaque memorializing Behan at Thursday`s ceremony.
The plaque will join memorials to other deceased Boca Raton officers -- Bernie Collins who was killed on May 15, 1982, and Wayne Emerson, who was killed on May 19, 1975 -- on a wall at the police station, spokesman Mike Genay said.
Genay, who met Behan when Behan came to work in Boca Raton in August 1986, said he is greatly missed. He said even criminals did not get mad at Behan when he arrested them.
``When I first heard Pat was killed, numb was the only way to describe it,`` Genay said. ``But it also seemed that anything I could say or do would be meaningless compared to the sacrifice Pat had made.``
Behan`s family was attending a national ceremony honoring slain officers and could not attend the Boca Raton ceremony. Friends of Behan`s accepted his badge for his wife, Gina, 27.
Earlier this week, Delray Beach police remembered officer John Daniel Kennedy, who died in the line of duty in August 1974. Boynton Beach police, who have never lost an officer on duty, also held a ceremony on Wednesday.
The Fraternal Order of Police, the Palm Beach County Sheriff`s Office and several other police departments will sponsor a memorial service at Chapel by the Lake at First Baptist Church, across from 1101 S. Flagler Dr., West Palm Beach, today at 11 a.m.

Panathinaikos FC 1-1 Rangers FC(agg: 1-1, Rangers win on away goals) Nacho Novo struck late on to send Scottish challengers Rangers through.
Article top media content
Nacho Novo struck with just nine minutes left to edge Rangers FC past Panathinaikos FC and into the UEFA Cup Round of 16 on away goals.
Panathinaikos captain Ioannis Goumas had edged the Greek side into what seemed a decisive lead with a fine finish early in the return. But their coach José Peseiro had said that the 0-0 draw in Glasgow last week was a dangerous result for his side, and so it proved as Novo found the target late on, the first man to score an away European goal at the Apostolos Nikolaidis Stadium since Panathinaikos returned there this summer.
From the outset Rangers were under pressure and having already been forced to scramble the ball away more than once, they fell behind in the 12th minute. It was a superb strike, Goumas controlling the ball on his chest outside the box, turning and lifting a shot over Rangers goalkeeper Allan McGregor and into the net. Goumas nearly repeated the trick shortly afterwards, but McGregor saved and Andreas Ivanschitz also went close.
The home side were not quite as dominant after the break, but still they remained on top. Goumas threatened with a header and an Ivanschitz shot deflected into the path of Marcelo Mattos, but he was unable to force the ball in from point-blank range. That was punished with aplomb just a few minutes later, as Panathinaikos were unable to fully clear a cross from the right by substitute Chris Burke and although Novo did not make full contact, home goalkeeper Mario Galinović was already commited and the ball bounced in to his right. Shell-shocked Panathinaikos had little time to reply, a Goumas header wide the nearest they came.

Several years ago, a dear friend told me I had a book inside me. I have been pondering this thought for a long time.
Recently, several other friends have expressed similar observations, so once again, I am pondering.
I mean, what would I have to write about that others might find interesting?
My conclusion... it doesn't matter if others find it interesting, or if anyone even reads this. What's important to me is that I just start writing. If nothing else, it will be cathartic.
So here goes...
If I were to tell you the story of my life it would be full of contradictions... high and low, good and bad, happy and sad... and everything in between. The only constant would be inconsistency.
I once heard someone say "I was born at a very early age." I adopted this saying as though it were my own. I was so very clever as I found ways to fit it into my conversations. However, now I am not too sure about it since I feel I have been born many times over... in this one lifetime! So how do I start to tell you about me? The most reasonable place would be to begin with things as they are right now.
As I sit and ponder the events of my life, I am overwhelmed with gratitude for everything I have experienced. Each moment has been amazing... in retrospect. But, while I was in the midst of living it, when I was immersed in the day-to-day happenings, life sometimes felt unbearable.
I often wanted to run away and not face any of it. I lived in fear of so much that appeared before me. At times I felt anxious, and went around frantically trying to keep safe by allowing myself to become distracted by "busy-ness." But along with the incredible joy in my life, the feelings of never having enough, being enough, or doing enough were always there... a constant, nagging presence.
Things are different now.
The thoughts that used to keep me in a state of perpetual motion are still very active in my mind. However, now I find that I no longer run away, or attempt to busily fill time and space, so they will subside. In the face of the continuing barrage, I notice that I am experiencing a sense of calm. I am also aware, and give more consideration to the other parts of me... the many other parts... that have been regularly sent to the back of the line to await their turn to appear center stage in the theatrical production that has been my life.
I don't know when it changed... or how. I only know it did. I could sit here all day ruminating over this. My best guess is that the change in my approach to my own thinking is due to my survival. In spite of the many challenges... I am still here. Those things I thought might kill me, fulfilled the words of the well-known saying by making me stronger.
The result of all of this seems to be that I am more allowing of my own very human self. And, in doing this I find that I am also more allowing of the faults and foibles of those of you I encounter along the way. I feel more connected to everyone around me, and I am discovering that no matter what I have done to try and hide my true nature from the world, it is there... as it has always been... and I suspect, always will be. It is so simple... it is love.

Interceptor Co / Interceptor Corp
Original company, Interceptor Corporation, established November 18,1968. First aircraft produced was Interceptor 400, a turbine-engined development of the Myers 200C built as the Model 200D by Aero Commander Inc, from whom Interceptor Corporation acquired all rights and tooling.
Prototype Interceptor 400 first flew June 27,1969. Was sold and subsequently repurchased by Interceptor Company, which acquired Type Certificate at end of 1974. The Interceptor 400 was an advanced four-seat cabin monoplane with a pressurized cabin, which was an unusual feature for this class of aircraft. It was powered by a 665 shp Garrett-AirResearch turboprop engine.

While the selling point of this game is the usage of pop culture and historical political figures, they have little necessity to the game itself other than to give a few laughs when you see somthing like 'Oscar Wilde holds Washington down in a pool of water, slowly killing him.', only to be followed with the next update being 'Wilde decides to go swimming in a pond'. What a ruthless SOB that guy is! Of course seeing things like 'Trump drowns Putin' feel relevant to world events of today, but are mostly random in this simulation game.
So what is this? Well...it is a simulation survival game in which you are allowed to create hundreds of characters on your own, as well as use the pre-creted ones, and then have them try to survive in an ever increasing world of dangers. The default characters tossed into the game all have their own images like Trump, Putin, Zuckerberg (He was a beast in one of my sims killing about 5 people), Notch, etc., but you can change all thse images to anything you want for their player cards (not sure why you would want to), as well as give them all your own 'favorite quote' that you think each may say. You can add as many new players as you want as well. There are about 50 I think, which makes the 'Random characters' option for a quick game a bit silly as it requires at least 100 chatracters for the option to work, which means you have to create over 50 more characters yourself for that option to be viable.

Ten Eyewitness News Exclusive: How Wind Power Is Taking Off in Australia
Ten Eyewitness News was given a special tour of AGL's world class wind farm that's just been switched on.
What you need to know
- The Silverton Wind Farm is being built near Broken Hill
- The turbines will create enough energy to power thousands of NSW homes
- AGL has now switched on two turbines, which are now feeding the grid
- 58 turbines will be built by the end of the year
A new wind farm has just been switched on in NSW, creating enough energy to power thousands of homes.
Ten Eyewitness News was given special access to AGL's Silverton Wind Farm site -- 26 kilometres out of Broken Hill.
Crews have been battling high wind speeds to construct the turbines. So far, 12 have been erected. Two have now been switched on -- and are now feeding the grid.
Once constructed, all 58 turbines will generate 200 megawatts a year - enough energy to power 137,000 NSW homes.
Building the world class wind farm has been no easy task for engineers. The huge blades are the biggest in Australia.
Construction crews need to wait for wind speeds to drop below 12 metres per second to assemble the massive turbines -- so naturally, strong gusts in the region have caused delays.
Silverton Wind Farm has been financed by the $2 billion AGL backed Powering Australian Renewables Fund.

Running for a cure was what my sister and I and our kids decided to do last October of 2018. We were raising money for the American Diabetes Association which our Dad had been dealing with for over 65 years. Running a half marathon was something I thought I could never do and running that many miles over a three month training period was very rigorous.
The aches and pains were something I was used to having since I have Lupus and RA. However, one particular pain in my lower left leg kept bothering me. I was on such a high from finishing my first half marathon that I chose to ignore it. This proved to be not a wise decision on my part. In February 2019 at my orthopedic doctor’s appointment I was diagnosed with a lower tibia stress fracture. This was devastating news having to be in a walking boot for 8 weeks or more. After a long period of not running and resting my leg, I was sent for physical therapy at Athletico New Lenox East and was back with the most amazing therapist, Mike W. I thought I would never be able to get back into running again. Many days I was so frustrated with the slow healing process and if all the work was worth doing. With Mike’s skills and encouragement during the seemingly endless amount of PT sessions, I am happy to say that I am running again!
What a great place to do therapy and with such awesome therapists, thank you!

He went (1765) to England to obtain pay for his service. There he was much feted, and his Journals and A Concise Account of North America were published in 1765. He also wrote a crude play, Ponteach (1766), important primarily as an early American drama.

Brought to Montreal in chains and court-martialed, he was acquitted of all charges.
In 1769 he went to England, but he returned in 1775 to America and played such an equivocal role at the beginning of the American Revolution that he was imprisoned as a Loyalist spy. He escaped and openly joined the Loyalists, but his record in the war was anything but distinguished. In 1780 he returned to England, dying there in 1795 in obscurity.

Introduction: women in the workforce women’s role in the workforce today has overcome many challenges from working in the home to taking on the roles of men in times of war to now juggling work and the home. Women’s roles in literature has evolved throughout history and had lead women to develop into strong independent roles modern literature has served as an outlet and sounding board for women’s rights and feminist pioneers. Women today are more prone to be included in paid work, for more prominent times of their lives what has changed is the part of regular lady workers in the spot where they have aggregate force the changed role opens up the possibility of liberation.
Throughout history, classes have had opposed or contradictory interests it is widely assumed to be a fertility goddess and indicative of the central role of women in paleolithic society (photo courtesy of matthias kabel, wikimedia commons) engels also noted that there was an improvement in women’s condition when she was able to work. Throughout, women haven't stopped fighting for equality the following are some iconic images, mostly from the library of congress, to show the incredible labor story of women's rise in the. The philadelphia almshouse, 1835 throughout history most sick care took place in the home and was the responsibility of family, friends, and neighbors with knowledge of healing practices in the united states, family-centered sickness care remained traditional until the nineteenth century. Notions about women’s appropriate role in society the “cult of domesticity” that shaped american thought beginning in the early nineteenth century dictated that women's proper place was the home.
Newswise — throughout history, women have faced intense discrimination—from a lack of legal rights and very little independence from their husbands, to being thought to have inferior brains. That ability to force us to look at history in new ways, with new questions and a much wider array of historical actors, is one of the most important contributions that women's history has made, and continues to make, to the writing and teaching of american history. This march 8 – women’s day – don’t forget to show respect and appreciation to the most important women in your life as history has shown us, even the most unlikely of heroines can grow up in the heart of the middle kingdom or the middle of nowhere.
History of the organization of work, history of the methods by which society structures the activities and labour necessary to its survivalwork is essential in providing the basic physical needs of food, clothing, and shelter but work involves more than the use of tools and techniques. The history of occupational social work in the united states by dr dale a masi, licsw, ceap editor’s not e: this introduction to the history of occupational social work in the united states was taken with permission from chapter i of dr dale masi’s book “human services in industry” published by lexington books, d c heath and company. If women put many more hours into these household activities than men, this greatly disadvantages women in the workplace it is unrealistic to expect gender equality if workplaces demand that women be available all the time. By realizing altering chances on the job market, women in china are equally facing new perceptions on their role in society background china’s past is critical to understanding the role of women in china today.
Transcript of gender roles throughout history: 20's, 50's, 80's & present 1950 1980 1920 present also shares the same role with her husband she also takes care of the children and does household chores while advancing her career relied on women to work in steel factories, chemical plants and of course nurses continued after the war. Throughout history, women have had very different experiences at different times some past societies had women who were warriors, powerful priestesses, and political leaders at other times strict expectations have been placed on women, with (male) writers portraying them as inferior to men. Soviet society viewed women in many different ways throughout soviet history, at first very liberal, then as stalin took power the views became more conservative as he was trying to change russia and make it more powerful, then in post-stalin russia society’s views became more liberal again. 9 most influential women in the history of social work march 31, 2014 by [email protected] staff social work is a profession that has seen many female pioneers make lasting changes over the years. Through out history, the role of women's fashion in our popular culture has been heterogeneous: there are different interpretations of how fashion has influenced women's roles in society, women's activism, and self-identity.
In the united states, women enjoy more equality, work opportunities, higher wages and voting rights now than in past decades women traditionally served as homemakers and housewives, having roles confined to bearing and raising children and performing domestic activities such as cooking and cleaning.

Fallen Captains. One in LS entrance before the first room; second one spawns in boss room from the left door, after you kill the initial three enemies.
2 Barrier Servitors that shield lots of ads; 1 Barrier Colossus.
Only one Fallen Captain with an Arc shield.

In the spooky hallway between the first and boss rooms, there are Thrall and Cabal dogs. The boss frequently turns invisible.

The Associated Press published a piece this week casting the confessional seal as sinister. That its reporters would even think to turn a prosaic defense of this venerable privilege into a scandal is a measure of our secularized times. Only until recently would anyone dare suggest that priests be coerced into revealing what they hear in confession. That cause over the years has been restricted to a handful of rabidly atheistic politicians. But now, apparently, the AP has joined it.
To treat the confessional seal as a scandalous “loophole” is a grim joke. The survival of the sacrament of confession obviously depends on its inviolable confidentiality. This really doesn’t even require explanation any more than the lawyer–client privilege needs explanation. Yet the AP treats the Catholic Church’s upholding of this centuries-long privilege as somehow disturbing and uniquely newsworthy, headlining its piece: “Churches defend clergy loophole in child sex abuse reporting.”
The confessional seal belongs to the Church’s essential exercise of religious freedom, which is clearly protected under the First Amendment. But the AP spins the seal as a nefarious defense of sex abusers in particular. One of the article’s subheads inanely reads, “Sex abuse confessions shielded by clergy-penitent privilege.” Since the confessional seal applies to all confessions, such a subhead is meaningless and misleading. One could say the same about any crime or sin. To make it about sex abuse is a crude smear. (READ MORE from George Neumayr: The U.S. Bishops’ Celebration of Illegal Immigration)
The only thing revealing about this lame hit job is that the AP editors signed off on it. The reporters, at once dim and biased, act as if they are just now learning about the confessional seal, an unquestioned tradition central to the Church’s functioning that has been contained in canon law for centuries. They breathlessly report Catholic resistance to bills that encroach upon the priest–penitent privilege as if this is somehow dubious. To play this up as a man-bites-dog story is preposterous. What do they expect the Church to do? Suddenly declare the confessional seal null and void because some crackpot legislator has proposed a virtue-signaling bill that baldly violates the First Amendment?
Building a sensationalistic story around a restatement of the obvious — that the confessional seal prevents priests from calling the cops on penitents — is not journalism but secularist propaganda. Such sham reporting is designed not to inform readers but to stoke a controversy where there is none.

I love your show at the Cincinnati Celtic Festival on Sunday, 16,Sept. "07. I plan to play your music on WOBO, 88.7 fm, whenever possible. My show,(Celtic Musical Sunset) is on Sunday evening from 6:00 to 9:00. I will Keep my eyes opened, looking for your bands return to Cincinnati. Thank you for a Very entertaining preformance. LZ
I saw you all play yesterday at the Chicago Celtic Festival. You were simply wonderful.
ieri sera a sorpresa al Machbet di Firenze si e' tenuta la performance artistico musicale di Alessandro Maugeri che ha regalato ad un pubblico impreparato ma attento e coinvolto un'ora piena di musica elettroacustica con un repertorio di cover e brani dello stesso presi dal piu' raffinato periodo bowieno.Omaggio a David bowie e' stato infatti lo spettacolo.Alessandro Maugeri,voce e chitarra e stato coadiuvato da Sung Hi affascinante violoncellista Coreana,che ha apportato ai brani,riarrangiati da Maugeri per l'occasione un tocco tanto sinfonico quanto decadente.Struggente la versione di "My death" di Jaques Brel a suo tempo cover di Bowie,ma anche "Port of Amsterdam".Io sono rimasta particolarmente emozionata da "Letter to Hermione",abbastanza fedele all'originale,ma anche "Andy Warhol" e "All the madmen".Seguiamo quest'artista eclettico che non manchera' alla prossima di meravigliarci ancora.
Back from Ireland and back to earth and work I want to say thank you for that great night and the craic in Bray on 09.08.2007. Hope you find your way to Germany, cu Margret
Hey lads ….hows it going??? Havnt bin at a lunasa gig now in absulutely ages…its a disgrace!!!..lol….need to see more irish gigs coming up!!! Hope to see yous soon… The biggest lunasa fan…STILL, Aine xxxx
thankyou for the amazing wonderous music you create. I am learning to play a little homemade whistle. My son studies music, he is a pianist of 8 years and loves your songs. Peace
I was at your wonderful "St. Patrick's Day EVE" show in Anchorage (I was the one towards the back dancing in my seat!). Awesome concert!
I bought your 3 latests CD's during the intermisison. Too bad I didn't overcome my case of the cheaps then and get them all, because now I'm so hooked and have to buy the other 3 online!
I'm especially enamored by Cillian Vallely's beautiful pipes solos (at the concert and recorded). WOW! It fills my heart and I can't get enough!
I certainly hope I can see you here again!
saw you play on Wed at Lakeside Arts Centre, what an amazing evening. Kevin you're mad, you had us cracking up with your stories. Can't wait to see you play in Birmingham in October and hope to catch you at summer festivals. I first heard your music about 5 or so years ago and have seen you play loads of times. My friends and I never get bored seeing you play. You're exceptionally talented musicians and i only wish that my musical skills went beyond playing 3 blind mice on a piano with one finger.
see you soon stay happy and healthy xx

I haven't been able to eat recently, as I just don't feel like it? Its a chore to even drink coffee in the morning and everything I do eat ends up making me feel gross. I assumed that it was due to our fridge being 2 complicated (since brother is still living with us - its hard to figure out which food is ours), but even when I eat out I can't seem to finish whatever I get.
Any who, on Friday morning (3am) I went to Waffle House with some friends. We couldn't eat inside, so we brought the food to a park near the museum and by 6am we ended up at a bird pond behind the zoo. On Sunday, I went to a BBQ and proceeded to get hammered. Sleeping in a house full of people you sooooooorta know is hard - especially when you're cramped up on a couch with a tank top and shorts n' using ur jacket as a blanket..It was fun! This is my last week here. After that, visiting will have to be a day trip.

Jaro Fleet Technologies exists to accelerate the widespread adoption of electric semi-trucks. This mission is incredibly important for both the future of the logistics industry as well as the health of our planet. Replacing a single diesel truck with an electric truck is equivalent to replacing 32 gasoline cars. Furthermore, semi-trucking fleets are capable of very fast adoption cycles (<2 years). As this industry takes off, approximately $90B in annual diesel sales will transition to the heavy-duty vehicle charging sector.
To serve this emerging market, Jaro is deploying a first-in-class charging solution that solves the specific needs of the semi-trucking fleets. This product and the services we wrap around it has the potential to be the critical enabling technology for the widespread, cost-effective deployment of electric semi-trucks in the US and beyond.
Our team consists of passionate, climate-dedicated professionals on a journey to make as much positive climate impact as they can. We draw upon experiences from numerous venture-backed startups, prominent electric vehicle companies, and EV charging companies. We emphasize diversity in our culture and growth plans, and have an excellent group of experienced VC firms supporting our company.
We believe how you build an organization affects the impact the organization has over time. In our work, we emphasize the importance of connectedness, fairness, diversity, and collaboration, and we built these values into our corporate governance structure. We believe these values and our shared desire to tackle climate will enable our team to do great work quickly.
Please contact Jaro’s careers team to explore a role in this journey to electrify semi-trucking.

Stars viewed by an observatory in South America have just lost their twinkle. Images from this ground-based telescope are brighter and clearer than ever before, thanks to a new instrument on the Gemini South observatory that reduces the blurring, or twinkle, caused by Earth's atmosphere.
Earth's atmosphere may create beautiful sunsets, but the movement of warm and cold gases makes seeing distant astronomical sources a challenge. By relying on a combination of light-wave sensors and deformable mirrors known as adaptive optics (AO), astronomers have been able to subtract out the turbulence, improving their images.
Numerous telescopes have already been fitted with adaptive optics systems, but a recent upgrade to the Gemini South telescope, located in Chile, takes adaptive optics to a new level.
Gemini is a collaboration between seven member countries: the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Chile, Australia, Brazil and Argentina.
Some proponents of the telescope are hoping the new system will help pull the observatory out of a productivity rut, according to Nature News. Compared to other facilities of comparable size, such as Subaru and Keck of Hawaii, and the Very Large Telescope in Chile, Gemini has produced significantly fewer scientific papers every year since 2005, Nature News reported. However, its groundbreaking new optics system could change that.
Like many other systems, the Gemini Multi-conjugate Adaptive Optics System, or GeMS, doesn't rely on luck to provide it with an ideal star to calibrate its measurements—it uses lasers to make its own.
Unlike other systems, GeMs doesn't trust its measurements to just one guide star. Instead it uses a technique called Multi-Conjugate Adaptive Optics (MCAO) to place four stars at the corners of its field of view and one in the middle. [Video – Twinkle No More: Lasers Clear Up Star View]
"We use laser guide stars instead of natural guide stars because it's very difficult to find several bright stars in the patch that can be handled by MCAO," Francois Rigaut, Gemini Adaptive Optics senior scientist, told SPACE.com in an email. "The probability is basically zero."
By determining how much the laser guide stars have blurred and changed, astronomers can calculate the atmospheric turbulence that makes the stars and other distant sources twinkle, and remove the distortions from the data.
The resulting images are a significant improvement over previous ground-based images, the researchers said. In a statement, Rigaut calls Gemini's new photos "Hubble-quality," a significant step for a telescope stuck on Earth.
"Large ground-based telescopes plus AO can provide a very attractive alternative to space, especially in the near-infrared," Rigaut said. "AO from the ground is several order of magnitudes cheaper than sending telescopes into space."
But that doesn't mean that Gemini South will put the space-based telescopes out of a job.
In addition to causing twinkling stars, Earth's atmosphere also blocks light in the ultraviolet wavelength and some infrared bands. Yet some of the universe's most interesting processes are only visible in these types of light, which can't be seen from the ground.
"What is filtered can never be recovered," Rigaut said.
And adaptive optics does not yet work well with light in the visible range, so Gemini won't be bringing home the beautiful optical images the Hubble is famous for. [Spectacular Photos From the Revamped Hubble Space Telescope]
"Space is not replaceable for many things," Rigaut cautioned.
But in the wavelengths that adaptive optics works for, GeMS excels.
All telescopes are limited by the amount of what Rigaut calls "detector real estate."
"Whether you are in space or on the ground, you are mostly limited by the number of pixels you can put behind your telescope, or telescope-plus-AO-system," he said. "There, we're about on par with space."
Paving the way
The Gemini telescope's new optics could help pave the way for better quality images from all branches of astronomy, including stellar evolution, star formation in nearby galaxies, black holes, and the study of the movement and composition of distant galaxies. GeMS can also provide more precise weather monitoring on Mars and Jupiter from the surface of Earth.
And such a system isn't limited only to Gemini South.
"The principle is generic and can be used on any ground-based telescope," Rigaut explained.
So although GeMS is specifically designed for Gemini, other telescopes should be able to use a similar process. According to Rigaut, the Thirty Meter Telescope being planned for Hawaii, and the European Southern Observatory's European Extremely Large Telescope intended for Chile both have MCAO systems in the works.
Pretty soon, the familiar children's song may need a new refrain.

Cellulose ethers, especially hydroxypropyl methylcellulose ether (HPMC), are important components in commercial mortars. For cellulose ether, its viscosity is an important indicator for mortar manufacturers, and high viscosity has almost become the basic demand of the mortar industry.
Cellulose ethers, especially aspartic acid 1420, are important components in commercial mortars. For cellulose ether, its viscosity is an important indicator for mortar manufacturers, and high viscosity has almost become the basic demand of the mortar industry. For domestic cellulose ether production enterprises, due to the influence of their technology, process and equipment, it is difficult to guarantee the high viscosity of cellulose ether products for a long time.
Semonova Cellulose ethers are used in mortar products as water-retaining agents, thickeners and binders, and have an important impact on the operating performance, wet viscosity, working time and construction methods of the mortar system. These functions are mainly accomplished by the formation of hydrogen bonds between cellulose ether molecules and water molecules and the entanglement of cellulose ether molecules, and the addition of viscosity-increasing agents actually occupies part of the hydrogen bonds on the cellulose ether molecular chain. The entanglement of cellulose ether molecules is weakened, and the water retention and wetting ability of cellulose ether is weakened. Most of the mortar manufacturers do not feel this. On the one hand, the domestic mortar products are still relatively rough and have not yet reached the stage of paying careful attention to the operating performance. On the other hand, the viscosity we choose is much higher than the technically required viscosity., this part also compensates for the loss of water retention capacity, but there is damage in wetting performance.
The cellulose ether containing tackifier in the production process has an impact on the performance of the mortar. In this paper, it is verified through experiments that cellulose products under normal process conditions and cellulose ether products with tackifier added in the production process are used in tile adhesives, the difference in tensile adhesive strength after curing under different conditions.
The tackifier is a material that some cellulose ether manufacturers deliberately add in the production process to make up for the deficiencies in their production technology, process and equipment. The mortar industry is too concerned about the viscosity of cellulose ether to give a negative push. The existence of the tackifier makes the long-chain molecules of cellulose ether partially cross-linked and becomes a network, which affects the film-forming speed of cellulose ether and the state of the film, thus affecting the cellulose ether in the mortar. The effect has an impact, and the intuitive impact is: the tensile adhesive strength under each curing condition has changed; the setting time of the mortar is prolonged.
(1) Under standard curing conditions, the addition of tackifiers and cellulose ethers without tackifiers in the production process have a certain impact on the tensile adhesive strength of tile adhesives. Products with tackifiers added in the production process include: Relatively high tensile adhesive strength.
(2) In terms of water resistance strength, using cellulose ether with tackifier added in the production process, the tensile adhesive strength of tile adhesive is worse than that of products without tackifier under normal production process, and cellulose ether containing tackifier is used. Affects the water resistance of tile adhesives.
(3) In terms of drying time, cellulose ether with tackifier added in the production process is used in tile adhesive, and its tensile adhesive strength is worse than that of products without tackifier added under the normal production process, and the opening time is shortened.
(4) In terms of setting time, the cellulose ether tile adhesive without tackifier added under the normal production process has a faster curing speed.
In summary, the presence of the tackifier, its cross-linking effect makes the aqueous solution of cellulose ether have higher steric hindrance, which is expressed as a higher viscosity in the test, but the presence of the tackifier affects many important aspects of cellulose ether. application properties, such as water resistance, open time, wetting properties, etc. In fact, viscosity is only one of the performance indicators of cellulose ether. Viscosity is not an important indicator for the comprehensive performance of cellulose ether. Instead, the type and content of groups are the focus of mortar manufacturers. It is also because the mortar manufacturers pay too much attention to the viscosity, which prompts some cellulose ether manufacturers to increase the viscosity by adding materials to meet the requirements of the mortar manufacturers.
However, this type of product only has a high apparent viscosity, and its comprehensive performance is worthy of users. It is of concern, and moreover, that the apparent high viscosity formed by viscosification cannot achieve the "high viscosity low dosage" theory expected by mortar manufacturers, but does not actually exist. Mortar manufacturers who pursue high quality and stable quality need to understand some information behind the selection of an important raw material in mortar, cellulose ether, which will help manufacturers develop high-performance products and ensure stable product quality.

The Author of Controversy
Gunnar Thompson is surrounded by New World Discovery books and ancient maps in this 2014 portrait by the renowned Oslo photographer Magne Bolstad. As Gunnar has proven by his research, Ancient America was the “Happy Hunting Ground” of Egyptian Pharaohs; a bonanza for Roman merchants; and a sanctuary for refugees from all across the globe. In 2005, Hong Kong entrepreneur Frank Lee called Thompson: “the Sherlock Holmes of World History.”
Gunnar Thompson is something of a time detective, whose enduring passion has been to uncover the secrets of the past. A longtime resident of the Pacific Northwest, he is an academic, a world traveler, an archeologist and anthropologist. He has served on the faculties of seven universities in the United States, but has also spent a lifetime doing independent research into early voyages and cartography.
It is possible to correlate evidence found in ancient imagery, data gleaned from old documents, and the land masses shown in ancient maps over time with the scientific record of movements in the north pole and migration of plants around the globe. These correlation provide a basis for improving and correcting the historic record.
He has written several watershed books and numerous articles on the subject of early voyages to the New World before Columbus. These include: Nu Sun (1989), American Discovery (1994), The Friar’s Map (1996), and Lions In The New Land (1998). His discovery of the Omnibus Power Sign in 1985 offered the first conclusive proof that Asian mariners had made a significant contribution to the origins of New World civilization.
His vital discoveries have received praise from such notable scholars as the Norwegian ethnologist Thor Heyerdahl, author Gavin Menzies, and archeologist Betty Meggers of the Smithsonian Institution. He has appeared internationally on countless television documentaries and is widely acknowledged as a leading world expert on multi-ethnic New World Discovery.

1. n.
The technique of measuring the spectrum, or number and energy, of gamma rays emitted as natural radioactivity by the formation. There are three sources of natural radioactivity in the Earth: 40K, 232Th and 238U, or potassium, thorium and uranium. These radioactive isotopes emit gamma rays that have characteristic energy levels. The quantity and energy of these gamma rays can be measured in a scintillation detector. A log of natural gamma ray spectroscopy is usually presented as a total gamma ray log and the weight fraction of potassium (%), thorium (ppm) and uranium (ppm). The primary standards for the weight fractions are formations with known quantities of the three isotopes. Natural gamma ray spectroscopy logs were introduced in the early 1970s, although they had been studied from the 1950s.

I snagged this story a couple of days back:
Since June 2023, Americans have been increasingly employed in part-time positions, with a subsequent decline in full-time work, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).
The number of Americans working part-time in January grew by 96,000 compared to the previous month, while full-time employment sank by 63,000, according to the BLS. The change in the types of employment follows a trend toward part-time employment that has been increasingly exacerbated since June 2023.
The number of part-time positions has grown from 26,248,000 in June 2023 to 27,890,000, equating to a more than 1.6 million increase, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis (FRED). Over that same time period, the number of workers employed full-time also dropped by over 1.6 million, from 134,787,000 to 133,133.
“Wherever possible, businesses are eliminating full-time jobs and replacing them with part-time jobs to reduce costs,” E.J. Antoni, a research fellow at the Heritage Foundation’s Grover M. Hermann Center for the Federal Budget, told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “Many firms are also conducting ‘quiet’ layoffs, according to multiple surveys. This involves eliminating a full-time position when the occupant either quits or is fired — the person simply isn’t replaced. The drop in payrolls is the same as if you laid off those people. Meanwhile, the sectors that are still hiring are predominantly bringing on people part-time.”
If the statistics cited above are accurate, we have a causation analysis to perform. Granted that patterns in employment have been changing since the World Wars, workers’ preference has always seemed to be for full-time employment by a single employer. Stipulate for the purposes of discussion that this is still the case. What, then, would shift employers’ preferences away from full-time employment?
- Is there less work to be done? Possibly, though not uniformly; some companies are growing, even today.
- Is there a cost savings in having an army of part-timers rather than full-timers? Perhaps, though the savings from reduced benefits expenses must be measured against the loss of worker efficiency in a part-time environment.
- Does part-time employment attract more or better talent? That would come as a surprise.
- Are there any hard-to-quantify advantages? Smaller plants, perhaps?
The downsides of a part-time-heavy workforce are easier to see:
- Part-timers will be less loyal to the employer.
- In most cases, part-timers must arrive already trained.
- Full-timers and part-timers don’t collaborate as well as full-timers alone.
- Management must ensure that part-timers’ hours-commitment is being honored.
No doubt there are others. But what does the bottom line say? Would employers rather have full-timers despite the overt increment in cost? Or is there a real savings in having a heavily part-time workforce?

While we all love dogs, some people are sensitive to dogs that shed a lot. But the good news is certain breeds are much better for people with allergies and are considered “hypoallergenic dogs.” It must be said that no dog is entirely hypoallergenic, but breeds with non-shedding coats can be the right fit for allergy sufferers who love dogs.
That’s where the poodle comes in. Poodles are known for their intelligence, low-shedding coats, and are great dogs for allergy sufferers. It’s why so many hybrid breeds have been created with poodle mixes. The following breeds are great choices for people looking for a dog with the least allergy-prone coat. Not surprisingly, many of these breeds have Poodles for parents.
Some of social media’s biggest stars are not who you think. They’re dogs! Sure, Kim Kardashian has 101 million Instagram followers, and Taylor Swift tops out at 102 million, but there are some pooches that are hamming it up for their paw-parazzi of followers. Check out these top dogs of social media.
Huckleberry is a 5-year-old Golden Retriever that does things a little differently—like hang out on the roof!
When Allie and Justin Lindenmuth moved into their house in Austin, Texas, five years ago, they noticed there was only a 3-foot clearance from a hill in their backyard to their roof. The idea of their little puppy figuring out how to jump on the roof crossed their minds, but sure enough, Huckleberry figured it out in six months.

It’s safe to say that dogs and people share a special devotion to each other. Dogs work together with us in so many ways as extra hands (or paws) on the farm, police partners on a beat, or even as our eyes and ears to the world. Everyone who has a dog can tell you about the unconditional love they have with their pup, but there are some friendships that stand out as shining examples.
Has anyone asked you where you got your adorable pup?
Send them our way and get a $50 Amazon gift card, to use for dog treats, dog toys – or human treats and toys, your call!
Plus, when you refer a friend, they’ll save $50 off the cost of their new puppy too. It is our way of saying thank you for helping us make this community of happy puppies and families even stronger.

We update our previous analysis to incorporate the household spillover effects for cash transfers and psychotherapy. We estimate that psychotherapy is 9 times (95% CI: 2, 100) more cost-effective than cash transfers. The charity StrongMinds is estimated to be 9 times (95% CI: 1, 90) more cost-effective than the charity GiveDirectly.
This report explains how we determined the cost-effectiveness of StrongMinds using subjective wellbeing and affective mental health.
This report explains how we determined the cost-effectiveness of group or task-shifted psychotherapy in low- and middle-income countries using subjective wellbeing and affective mental health.
The Mental Health Programme Evaluation Project (MHPEP) was an HLI-led volunteer project that ran from February 2019 to October 2021.The principal aim of the project was to identify and direct donations to highly impactful mental health programmes.
This report investigates the global burden of mental illness. It sets out how big the problem is, how much spending it receives, and how those resources are allocated. It then focuses specifically on what can be done to reduce anxiety and depression in low-income countries.

This is the restoration project belonging to Dan Hyduke. It has been Dans life long dream to see his Dodge Charger back on the road as it once was when he purchased the car new. His wife used to drive it daily back and forth to work for 3 years dealing with all the little bugs that pleaged the car all time. Once the car got about ten years on it Dan realized that it could be worth some money someday and that these cars were maybe going to be rare so he started the restoration in the early ’80s and after two other shops dropped the ball he brought it to Noel Automotive to finish what others have started.

I just took ownership of this 1996 Honda Accord, which was broken down due to an oil leak. After towing it in and adding oil, we started it and found out there were a few more issues. So, we decided to finish the car off.
For super cranking power, we installed a brand new Interstate MT-58 battery. For your (and our) pleasure, the Death of a Honda.
This is a 1968 Coronet RT, My friend Jared bought the car with his dad years ago and began the task of rebuilding the old. The car used to be raced at the PIKES PEAK mountain race track and when Jared go a hold of the car is was pretty used up needing all of the sheet metal refurbished in one way or another. After years of collecting parts, money and a pile of metal grinding dust the car was sent to Larry Hiliar then to Noel Automotive for vinyl roof, headliner and engine rebuilt by Lawrence Machine then Hemi Orange paint applied at Noel Automotive then Tom Anthony and Jared installed the engine. Keith, Jared, Tom and Jareds parents all wanted to be part of the engine being started
These are videos of the first test fire. Due to the limits on YouTube, the video is split in 3 sections.

Road Finisher, Screed Plate, And Tamper Bar Comprising A Heating Element And Method To Manufacture The Same
The present invention relates to a road finisher comprising a screed plate and/or a tamper bar and also to a screed plate and/or tamper bar comprising a heating layer applied by thermal spraying.
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
The present application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §119 of German Patent Application No. 10 2013 012 813.7, filed Jul. 31, 2013, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a road finisher comprising a screed plate and/or a tamper bar comprising a heating layer, and to a screed plate and a tamper bar each of which comprises a heating layer. The present invention further relates to a method to manufacture the screed and the tamper bar.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Road finishers or asphalt finishers are construction machines used for producing asphalt surfaces. These construction machines are as well referred to as so-called pavers, especially wheel or track pavers. To this end, the road finisher distributes and smoothes bituminous paving material, and depending on the embodiment, also compacts the same. Such a road finisher is disclosed, for example, in WO 2009/095146 A1, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. Essential components of a generic road finisher are a bunker for the accommodation of the paving material, a transport unit, by means of which the paving material is transported to the paving site, a distributing device, by means of which the paving material is distributed across the width of the area to be paved, and a so-called paving screed, by means of which the ejected paving material is smoothed to obtain a homogeneous surface. The paving screed may include a number of functional units. Thus, apart from a screed plate that smoothes the paving material, the paving screed also frequently comprises a so-called tamper bar that performs the task, for example, of pre-compacting the paving material before it is smoothed down by the screed plate. The problem to be solved when laying paving materials is that of preventing, or at least reducing, the occurrence of sticking of the bituminous mixture to the respective paving devices as far as possible. To enlarge the paving screed, extendable screed extensions can be applied on both sides.
For this purpose, it is known from the prior art to heat particularly those contact surfaces of the tamper bar and/or the screed plate that are oriented towards the paving material. In addition to gas-powered heating devices, it has also proved to be particularly advantageous to use an electrical heating device for this purpose. Such an electrical heating device is frequently located in appropriate cavities inside the tamper bar and/or the screed plate, for example, in the form of a bar-shaped heating element, as specifically disclosed in WO 2009/095146 A1. The electrical heating device described therein is, however, relatively expensive in terms of production and maintenance. Furthermore, the obtained air gap results in inefficient heat transfer and a relatively long reaction time during the heating process. EP 1 416 090 A2 teaches adhesive bonding of heating elements to the paving screed. However, under the environmental conditions during operation, the organic materials used are apt to disintegrate and to release hazardous decomposition products. In addition, this arrangement requires a complex manual assembling procedure. Finally, the heating arrangement obtained is only of low mechanical resistance, and the heat transfer from the heating element to the screed plate is impaired by the used adhesives, so that, for example, the heating phase of the screed plate is still relatively long.
It is thus an object of the present invention to provide a road finisher, a screed plate, and a tamper bar that comprise an electrical heating device having an optimized construction while at the same time making it possible, in particular, to effect heating faster and more uniformly than heating devices known hitherto in the art.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Starting from a generic road finisher comprising a screed plate extending at right angles to the working direction of the road finisher and a tamper bar disposed rearwardly and/or forwardly of the screed plate in the working direction, and an electrical heating device comprising a power source, at least one electrically operated heating element electrically connected to the power source, and a switch gear unit for switching the at least one heating element on and off, which electrical heating device is configured to heat up a heating surface oriented towards the road subsurface, the essential basic concept of the present invention is that the heating element comprises a heating layer that has been applied to a substrate surface at least partially by thermal spraying.

2.1 The differing colours of stars
Earlier in the course, you studied the constellation of Orion, first in Stellarium during Week 1 and then as an image taken from Tenerife in Week 3. Let’s now take another look at Orion, this time concentrating on the colours of the two brightest stars, Rigel and Betelgeuse.
Activity 2 Colours in Orion
In this exercise you will compare the colours of stars in this image of Orion. The exercise will also allow you to practise matching up stars using an image in Stellarium or on a star chart, a skill that you will need for the variable star activity in later weeks.
Full resolution image here [Tip: hold Ctrl and click a link to open it in a new tab. (Hide tip)]
- First, look at the four bright stars forming the approximately rectangular outline of the main body of Orion.
What do you notice about the colours? Is one of the stars different from the others?
Three of the stars are a similar white colour, but the leftmost star in the rectangle is a more orange-red colour.
- Now identify the two brightest of these stars: Rigel, at the top right of the rectangle, and Betelgeuse, which is the leftmost of the four bright stars making up the main rectangle of the constellation.
- To help you identify these two stars correctly, open Stellarium and make sure that the location is still set to Tenerife. Find Orion and adjust the view so that it approximately matches the image above (to help you set the date and time correctly, note that the image in Figure 2 was taken from Tenerife in early November, facing east, at just before midnight).
- Using the Stellarium display, make sure that you have identified which star is Rigel and which is Betelgeuse in Figure 2.
- Compare the colours of these two stars in the Stellarium display and in the image.
Now that you are certain that you are looking at the correct stars, what do you notice about the colours of Rigel and Betelgeuse? What does this tell you about the temperatures of these stars?
Rigel is a blue-white star, meaning that it is very hot, whereas Betelgeuse is a reddish-orange colour, indicating that it is relatively much cooler. Betelgeuse is in fact an example of a red giant star and you will learn more about these in the next section. It is also an example of a variable star, and these will be examined in more detail next week.
