The IMS volleyball team played in the Fairfield tournament last night and went 1-2.
IMS took on 4A Fairfield in their first match and dropped both games 25-18 and 25-21.
It was the same story against Eddyville- Blakesburg as they dropped both games 25-21 and 25-15.
IMS didn’t give up though, playing their best volleyball in their last game, defeating Albia 25-19 and 25-12 to take the match.
Olivia Yutzy had 16 kills, 16 digs and three aces, while Casey Perez had nine kills, 19 digs, 37 assists and nine aces on the night.
Head coach Cindy Miller said she was impressed with the team’s overall performance in their first competition, and that all the teams were tough, and she was happy that they took even just one win, although they were in every game of every match.
IMS is now 1-2 on the season.

After purging millions of fake Instagram accounts this week, this housekeeping move by the social network resulted in angering all the users that define their self worth by a follower count. Angry Instragram users have flocked to Twitter to voice their disappointment over losing hundreds, thousands or even millions of fake followers.
Instragram addressed this change recently stating “We’re in the process of fixing an issue that incorrectly includes inactive or fake accounts in follower/following lists. We want to maintain the best possible experience on Instagram, so we do our best to remove spam, fake accounts and other people and posts that don’t follow our Community Guidelines. As we remove these accounts, some people may notice a decrease in their follower/following counts.” Instagram also indicated that this purge started happening during April 2014 and should be complete by the end of the year.
Interestingly, this purge knocked Justin Bieber out of the number one spot celebrity spot on the social network. According to Web developer Zach Allia, Bieber lost nearly 15 percent of his followers (3.5 million accounts) after the purge. This pushed his total follower count to just over 20 million. That’s two million shy of Kim Kardashian, who now has approximately 22 million followers after losing around just over 5 percent of her follower count. The most followed Instagram account, @Instagram, lost nearly 19 million followers which pushes the total count on that account down to 45 million.
A huge drop in follower count is possibly indicative of users that purchased fake followers. For instance, Jersey Shore’s JWoww lost nearly two and a half million followers pushing her count down to just over 115,000. Another huge drop occurred on rapper Ma$e’s account, shedding about 1.5 million followers. This pushed him to delete his account entirely after rampant mocking on Twitter and other social networks regarding his high percentage of fake followers. Besides fake accounts created to boost a user’s overall follower count, this week’s purge also removed accounts that promoted “nudity, video or photos of illegal actions, or anything that promotes or “glorifies” self-harm.”

Yes, from your coverage, Beth, it already seems there is an explosion of new technology surrounding everything 3D. Virtualization and simulation seem to be getting real traction, not to mention the reality of 3D printing.
I know, it's crazy. Viztu isn't the only company doing this. As I mentioned, Autodesk has similar technology and I'm sure there's definitely stuff out there that we haven't run across. This capability, along with new content creation tools and low-cost 3D printers, are going to be a huge area of innovation over the next couple of years, in my opinion.
Robots that walk have come a long way from simple barebones walking machines or pairs of legs without an upper body and head. Much of the research these days focuses on making more humanoid robots. But they are not all created equal.
The IEEE Computer Society has named the top 10 trends for 2014. You can expect the convergence of cloud computing and mobile devices, advances in health care data and devices, as well as privacy issues in social media to make the headlines. And 3D printing came out of nowhere to make a big splash.
For industrial control applications, or even a simple assembly line, that machine can go almost 24/7 without a break. But what happens when the task is a little more complex? That’s where the “smart” machine would come in. The smart machine is one that has some simple (or complex in some cases) processing capability to be able to adapt to changing conditions. Such machines are suited for a host of applications, including automotive, aerospace, defense, medical, computers and electronics, telecommunications, consumer goods, and so on. This discussion will examine what’s possible with smart machines, and what tradeoffs need to be made to implement such a solution.

Centrifugal pump failure reason:
The bottom valve of the pump is not tightly closed or the water pump suction pipe is leaking seriously.
First, the approximate part of the failure is judged by eye and ear. Then, pull the pump suction pipe out of the water for inspection. If the bottom valve of the water pump is not tightly closed, the bottom valve should be disassembled for repair or replacement; if the water pump suction pipe leaks, the specific leaking part should be detected by the light method, and the air leakage at the pipe wall should be repaired. Strict or replacement method; for air leakage at the interface of the suction pipe, the method should be repaired by tightening the flange connection bolt with a wrench or replacing the contact pad and then tightening.
Insufficient water output from the centrifugal pump:
cause of issue:
1 The actual lift of the pump exceeds the rated head.
2 The speed of the pump unit is not matched or the speed is low due to the belt slippage.
3 pump suction is too high.
4 The bottom valve of the water pump is not open enough or the check valve is blocked.
5 The pump suction and outlet pipes are leaking seriously.
6 The pump pipe and impeller are partially blocked or the impeller is defective.
1 Reinstall the water pump and reduce the installation height of the water pump properly so that the actual lift is less than the rated lift of the pump. If the fault cannot be eliminated, the centrifugal pump should be re-selected according to the actual situation on site.
2 First, check whether the power pump of the pump set matches the pump (main technical parameters such as power, speed, etc.). If it does not match, the power machine should be properly configured according to the technical parameters marked on the pump nameplate (or take the pulley with different diameter of the replacement pump). ) to meet the power and speed requirements of the pump. Secondly, check the power transmission of the pump set. If the pump speed is low due to the slip of the drive belt, stop the dirt on the pump drive belt and re-lap and adjust the tension of the belt as required.
a. Transmission belt installation requirements
The distance between the axis of the pump and the axis of the power machine (diesel engine) is preferably 1.5 to 3.0 meters. At the same time, the axis of the two axes should be parallel and can be inspected by the wire drawing method. If the cable is equidistant from the sides of the two pulleys, it means that the two axes are parallel; if they are not parallel, they should be corrected. Otherwise, the belt is easy to fall off during work, which affects both work and safety.
b. Driving belt installation method
When installing the belt, the tight side of the belt should be placed below to increase the wrap angle of the belt to achieve the purpose of improving transmission efficiency and prolonging service life.
3Reinstall the pump after parking and reduce the pump installation height.
4 After parking, first check the working state of the bottom valve of the pump. If the bottom valve is not open enough or there is an obstacle to opening, open the large bottom valve or replace the new bottom valve. Next, check the working condition of the check valve. If blockage or damage occurs, remove the blockage or replace the new check valve.
5 After parking, check the suction and outlet pipes of the pump by the light method. If there is air leakage at the pipe wall, take the method of repairing the blockage or replacing the new pipe; if it is leaking at the interface, use a wrench to tighten the flange. Connect the bolts or replace the contact pads before tightening.
6 After parking, first check the pipeline to find the blockage and remove the blockage. Then remove the water pump to check. If the impeller is wrapped by debris, the impeller should be removed and the winding debris should be removed. If the pump is cavitation due to cavitation, the impeller should be repaired or replaced.
Partial damage of the impeller can be repaired by welding, or a layer of epoxy resin mortar can be applied to the entire worn blade, which can receive better control effect. In addition, the repaired impeller should generally be subjected to a static balance test.

MSN.com just launched a refresh of its “re:discover” series, a collection of web guides that explores the souls of cities across America. I was fortunate to be the writer for the Los Angeles update. I got to profile some amazing cultural insiders, including hip-hop MC The Lady Tigra, music editor Adam Smalley, hair stylist Josh Rosebrook, and fashion designer Johana Hernandez. Each of these incredibly creative individuals gave the lowdown on how the city of Los Angeles has inspired them and on their favorite restaurants, lounges, hiking spots, unique shops, and more in town. I also put together a day trip guide to Los Angeles’ natural wonders culled from their recommendations. Last but not least, I got to tour the downtown headquarters of Homeboy Industries, an incredibly innovative and successful gang rehabilitation organization started by Father Greg Boyle (the Homegirl Cafe is a must-stop for lunch!). Writing about all of these various sides of LA renewed my love for the city and its energy as an incubator for creative and humanistic achievements. Re:discover it for yourself by checking out the guide!

New Haven will receive $3.9 million in federal funds to improve the city’s public housing this year, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development announced last week.
The funds — which are administered to housing authorities across nationwide — are awarded annually as part of HUD’s capital funds program and can be used to build, repair and renovate affordable housing. Housing authorities in Connecticut as a whole were awarded a $36.4 million slice of the total $2.7 billion awarded nationally.
Rhonda Siciliano, who is the spokesperson for the New England HUD region, said that allocations tend to fluctuate year-to-year and that the formula for funding allocations was related to the number of occupied low-income public housing units in a municipality and how old those units are, among other factors.
Siciliano said that housing authorities tend to use the funds for “major capital needs” and large-scale repairs. A press release from HUD notes that these repairs can sometimes include replacing roofs, making energy-efficient upgrades, or replacing old plumbing and electrical systems, which often require the expertise of roofing contractors and other specialized professionals.
Are you seeking to enhance your indoor and outdoor living experience? Consider the ultimate convenience of retractable screen doors, seamlessly blending your living spaces and providing the flexibility to enjoy the fresh air and natural surroundings. These innovative doors offer a seamless connection between your indoor and outdoor spaces, allowing you to savor the best of both worlds.
Additionally, in local communities, housing authorities and individuals can benefit from seeking out specialized plumbing services from reputable companies like Stillwater Plumbing Kamloops. These experienced professionals not only handle major repairs and replacements but also offer routine maintenance services to prevent potential plumbing issues. By proactively engaging in partnerships with trusted plumbing experts, housing authorities can ensure the longevity and functionality of their plumbing systems, providing residents with safe and comfortable living conditions. In case of complex problems, it’s advisable to get a licensed plumber involved to address specific concerns and uphold the overall integrity of the plumbing infrastructure.
When it comes to ensuring the smooth functioning of plumbing systems, it’s crucial to rely on trusted and reputable plumbing services. Siciliano’s mention of replacing old plumbing systems highlights the importance of partnering with professionals who possess the expertise and experience to handle such significant repairs. One reliable source to find trustworthy plumbing services is online platforms that provide valuable insights and customer feedback, such as richtek reviews. These platforms offer a wealth of information and reviews from satisfied customers, enabling individuals and housing authorities alike to make informed decisions when selecting a plumbing company. By accessing reliable resources like richtek reviews, one can ensure that their plumbing needs are met with efficiency, quality, and the utmost professionalism.
If you also want the best plumbing services near you, visit sites like https://superiorplumbing.ca/barrie/drain-repair/.
Siciliano noted, however, that because New England’s housing stock is among the oldest in the country, the capital funds that are available for repairs do not keep up with need.
“Our housing stock gets older every year, and so the amount of funding that’s needed to keep the housing stock decent, safe and sanitary has grown,” she said. Siciliano noted that since 2011, HUD has moved towards encouraging rental assistance demonstration programs, which allow municipalities to tap into private sources of income in order to make repairs.
New Haven’s award has decreased from the $4.7 million it received last year. When asked about the decrease in New Haven’s funding, Siciliano wrote in an email to the News that the city had shifted 70 affordable units to one such rental assistance demonstration program. Though these units are still HUD supported, she wrote, they are not funded through the capital program.
HUD plans to release the funds to the housing authority by late March.

– Typically, people compete to see who can complete a game the quickest – more often called a speedrun. This includes quite an amount of skill and knowledge of how a particular game works. There are general things to know, such as what’s covered in Learnin’ It, but overall setting a speedrun requires such fine-tuning of specific game mechanics that it’s almost impossible to teach someone how to do a general speedrun.
Let’s cover the classic Super Mario Bros, for example:
I would bet that the first time you played through Super Mario Bros, you didn’t go through this nearly half as fast. (I, for one, never even finished.) Notice the how the player pushes the games to its limits – barely missing enemies that otherwise would have killed him, or the timings of his jumps to get through the level as soon as possible.
There are, however, two kinds of speedruns. The difference comes not in the nature of the activity – beating the game in record times – but in how one does it. There is the traditional way of recording yourself playing a game and beating it as fast as you can, and then there is TAS (or Tool Assisted Speedrun). TAS gets its name from tools that players use to augment their ability. For example, one may use a tool to slow the game down to 1/4th of the regular speed or rewind a few seconds if a mistake is made. Here’s an example of a TAS of the same game:
Can you tell the difference between this video and the one before? In all honesty, sometimes it’s hard to tell because the tools people use allow them to record their playthrough just as though they were playing through it at normal speed. In the end, the best way to tell is through honesty. (The author of this video admits it, the first video’s author offered no comment.) Some people may view TASs as dishonest or cheating, but there’s another charm to them. Have a look at this Super Mario 64 video:
For this particular instance, you probably don’t have to be told by the author that this is tool-assisted to come to that conclusion. However, there’s something interesting in seeing how Mario can perform an amazing gymnastic feat in the game. It’s physically impossible for a human player to move Mario like this without the assistance of tools, however.
Interest in more TAS’s? Try http://tasvideos.org/
But what about non-tool-assisted speedruns?
As mentioned before, sometimes it’s difficult to tell. Did a player really master the game so well that he can narrowly avoid death so easily? Or did he use a tool? Here’s an example of a non-tool-assisted speedrun:
There are minor differences in the playthrough, but some of the amazing feats are still the same. In the community in which this was submitted, each speedrun undergoes the scrutiny of several judges which finally decide whether or not the game was tool assisted. The judges use knowledge of the game and known bugs with tools to try to detect the use of them.
Interested in speedruns without tools? Try http://speeddemosarchive.com/
– Just how crazy does it get?
Of course, setting a speedrun record, regardless of tool assistance or not, is a feat in itself. But what other tests of skill are there? Take a look at Kaizo Mario (a.k.a. “Asshole Mario”):
This, of course, touches on level creation and design, but still pushes a player’s knowledge of a game to its limits. Want to try this out? Check out a recent forum post: http://platformconnect.darkbb.com/level-up-f5/request-t14.htm
There’s more where this came from too. Check out the links in the description of the original YouTube video.

Most modelers build their first layout as a loop that lets them sit and railfan the passing train. Even if freight sidings and spurs are added to the loop, it’s still easy to run the train without doing any switching or having to turn the locomotive. However, once the train has completed a dozen laps or so, most people become bored.
In contrast, prototype railroads operate on a point-to-point basis and are focused on their primary business – moving freight. Some passenger service may also run on part of the line, but these trains seldom produce a profit due to their operating costs. I model the New Haven RR on Cape Cod, Mass., in 1948. My article on the HO scale layout, “New Haven’s Cape Cod branch,” and its track plan was published in the October 2006 Model Railroader magazine.
The railroad begins on the Boston waterfront, where freight cars are picked up from the shipping docks and warehouses by the Union Freight RR and transferred to the New Haven’s South Boston Yard. These cars are then switched into trains for Cape Cod.
The road freight trains head south to Buzzards Bay, pass over the Cape Cod Canal Bridge, and head into the Yarmouth wye. The northwest leg of the wye curves toward Hyannis yard, where trains
either terminate or are split up into short peddler freights. Peddlers bound for Provincetown (at the tip of the cape) leave via the wye’s northeast leg. Some freights may travel straight through the wye, traveling directly from Boston out to Provincetown. There’s also passenger traffic on the line, but it only runs from South Station (Boston) to Hyannis. Figure 1 shows the freight and passenger traffic patterns I’ve incorporated into the railroad.
I initially used two kinds of paperwork to achieve realistic operation: a car card system for the freight car forwarding, and an event, or train sequence, list that directed the passenger trains.
Let’s review how the car waybill system works. Inbound loads from connecting railroads arrive at the main yard for sorting and delivery to customers along the line. Outbound cars (loads or empties) are picked up from the on-line customers, fig. 2, and taken back to the yard where they’re switched into blocks (groups) of cars for connecting railroads. Each freight car has a car card, or “waybill,” which lists its basic information: the owner’s initials, car number, destination, and contents.
The waybills for cars spotted at the local industries are placed in small plastic pouches filed at each switching location, as seen in fig. 4. When a car is in transit, its waybill is placed in a pouch that travels with the train conductor so the crew knows which cars are to be picked up or dropped off at each stop. Each pouch is labeled with the symbol of its train.
My passenger trains are identified by their routes and stops. Since both freight and passenger trains share the same track, I use a master sequence list to coordinate all of the train movements on the railroad.
Some model railroads use fast clocks (special clocks that run at a higher-than-normal speed to enhance this time/ distance effect). On my small railroad, I prefer to let the normal sequence of events drive my master list.
Sequence list “schedules”
My operating sessions last from 1½ to 2 hours, and we have six operators. We use DC cab control with walkaround throttles, but the operators remain at their assigned locations and pass the trains along to simulate the New Haven’s 1948 style of manual block operation.
The sequence list does three jobs:
• It divides the operating session into six approximately equal periods that cover a sequence of events.
• It shows what each operator should accomplish during each event, as shown in fig. 5.
• It recommends routes for each train to avoid the problem of having two trains occupying the same DC electrical block at the same time.
This sequence list isn’t designed to handle car orders, which are half the fun of the operating session, and the car order system isn’t equipped to prevent two trains from entering the same block.
Combining the functions
Combining both functions led me to this hybrid sequence list that includes authorizations for train movements and car switching instructions. This system is an adaptation of the original operating system I explained in my earlier article “Sequence ‘timetables’ made easy” in the October 2002 Model Railroader.
My operators and I have already developed two hybrid sequence lists and we’re working on a third. Figure 5 shows event no. 2 in our second list. This list is organized around stationary operators running a particular position and then handing the trains off much like prototype manual block operators. I have chosen the Hyannis Yard operator’s job (highlighted in red) as an

Georgia O'Keeffe: the Poetry of Things
With vivid, bold paintings of flowers and surreal visions of bones floating before a blue horizon, the Dallas Museum of Art presents Georgia O'Keeffe: the Poetry of Things, a major exhibition of works by one of the true icons of American art, beginning November 7. The exhibition will be on view through January 30, 2000.
"Nothing is less real than realism. Details are confusing. It is only by selection, by elimination, by emphasis that we get at the real meaning of things," said O'Keeffe in 1922. And through 55 paintings, watercolors, and works on paper that include some of O'Keeffe's most recognizable images--flowers, trees, shells, and bones--Georgia O'Keeffe: The Poetry of Things examines the beloved artist's modernist views and her contributions to modern art.
"This exhibition explores the way O'Keeffe approached still life painting from modernist perspective," said Dr. Eleanor Jones Harvey, Consulting Curator of American Art for the DMA and local curator of the exhibition. "From close ups of flowers to bleached bones, O'Keeffe took traditional still life components and used them as part of a modernist idiom," said Harvey.
Nowhere is O'Keeffe's fresh perspective on scale and space more obvious than in her world-famous flower paintings. O'Keeffe infused her flowers with vibrant color, from intense scarlets to rich purples, which, along with their large scale, were intended to evoke emotional reactions. She meant for the oversized flowers to attract attention, and they did. Most people reacted to what they perceived as the Freudian imagery conveyed by the folding petals and the enlarged stamen and pistils in the cavernous interior of the blossom. From the red poppy to the dark purple iris and white roses, her flowers elicited a sensuous, charged emotion.
In 1929, O'Keeffe began to break away from the East Coast environment that had provided her primary inspiration for more than 10 years. A trip to northern New Mexico renewed a passion for sky, mountains, and magnificent vistas that she had first experienced when teaching in West Texas 15 years earlier. First in Taos, then at Ghost Ranch, and finally at her adobe home in Abiquiu, she expanded her series subjects to include bones and crosses that are such an integral part of the desert culture of that area. Her allegories of death--bleached white skulls and pelvises of deer, antelope, and cattle--float in ethereal scenes against the backdrop of the sky in what one critic called a "vision of infinity."
For more information about this traveling exhibition please see our articles on Georgia O'Keeffe: The Poetry of Things (3/6/99) at The Phillips Collection and Georgia O'Keeffe: The Poetry of Things (5/30/99) at The Georgia O'Keeffe Museum.

On May 20th we drove to visit friends in Virginia.
The next day they graciously took us on a tour of the Skyline Drive.
These are photo's of that day. All these were shot using my
Canon PowerShot A60. I took 174 pictures which I boiled down
to about two dozen that you'll see here.
The Skyline drive goes from
Virginia all the way to Georgia. We did not travel all the way
to Georgia. It was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps
between 1931 and 1939. For the most part the speed limit is 35
mph. This is a view from one of the many overlooks back at the
road that snakes throughout the park.
you're hearing is from a CD that Karol bought at one of the stops.
It's called The Sounds of Shenandoah. If you're on dial-up I
hope it works OK.

Vivier. Claude Vivier. The same way we say Mozart. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart… Isn’t it normal to recognize our own heroes? If music is a fundamental expression of Humanity, then Claude Vivier certainly knew how to express the essence of our culture, our history, our dreams. Vivier is truly a “national treasure”!
With the 60th anniversary of his birth and the 25th anniversary of his tragic death in 1983, we thought the moment had come to recognize his importance. Appreciating Vivier really means plugging ourselves into our inner power, the kind that runs in our veins, and holds the key to our past, our present, and our future.
From September, 2007 to May, 2008, we have put together a real celebration in honour of Claude: a total of twenty of his works will get a hearing in one concert or another, at the hands of veteran artists specialized in new, classical, early, and world music alike. An initiative of the Société de musique contemporaine du Québec (SMCQ) with Société des arts technologiques (SAT), Espace musique, la radio musicale de Radio-Canada and CBC Radio 2, this series is produced in partnership with the Montreal Symphony Orchestra, the Université de Montréal’s faculty of music, the Conservatoire de musique et d’art framatique de Montréal, McGill University’s Schulich School of Music, the Canadian Music Centre (Quebec), Jeunesses Musicales du Canada, the Ensemble d’ondes de Montréal, Circuit, the Festival d’automne of Orgue et couleurs, SuperMusique, the Ensemble contemporain de Montréal (ECM), Quatuor Bozzini, the Studio de musique Ancienne de Montréal (SMAM), the Observatoire international de la création musicale (OICM), La Nef, Constantinople, Arraymusic (Toronto), FAMEQ, and the École Montréalaise, among others. The entire musical milieu has responded to our call: it’s going to be a real celebration!
Come and meet “your” heroes!

LUCKY SEVERSON, correspondent: When Mark and Jennifer Drago decided to get married, they had both drifted away from their separate churches. He was a Methodist, Jennifer a Lutheran. So they asked Pastor April Gismondi of the non-denominational Church of Ancient Ways to officiate.
PASTOR APRIL GISMONDI: On this area of Long Island, a lot of people of a lot of different religions come together and agree that spirituality is the core of the human belief, not the book you got it from.
SEVERSON: And then two and a half years later, when their daughter Julia was welcomed into the world in another ceremony, Pastor Gismondi spoke the words and wisdom of one of the most popular poets of all time, and among the most controversial — Kahlil Gibran.
GISMONDI: (Reading from Gibran) Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself. For you are the bow from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.
He speaks to the core of what makes us truly human - the things that we all struggle with, the things that we all enjoy, the lessons we have to learn.
MARK DRAGO: He has this metaphor with the arrow, which I think is great.
JENNIFER DRAGO: They’re ours but they’re not ours to keep. Like we get to have them for just a little bit of time, and then we have to send them off.
GISMONDI: And it’s so eloquent. It really is.
SEVERSON: Apparently millions of readers agree. Kahlil Gibran is one of the best selling poets of all time, behind Shakespeare and Lao-Tzu, the founder of Taoism. Suheil Bushrui holds the Kahlil Gibran Chair for Values and Peace at the University of Maryland.
SUHEIL BUSHRUI: I’m not saying that Gibran is as great as Shakespeare, but I’m saying that people who have a universal message, Goethe, Dante, Shakespeare, the great poets of all time, because of their universal message, they resonate with every culture, every language and every people.
SEVERSON: Gibran’s widespread and lasting popularity has also been greeted with much critical derision. Among the critics who least appreciate the poet is Stefan Kanfer.
STEFAN KANFER: His work has always seemed to me, Khalil Gibran’s, like halva — which is a part of Middle Eastern cuisine which is almonds and honey — to the point where you really can’t take more than a little bit of it. And sometimes I feel if you read enough of this kind of stuff, your appetite for real food goes.
SEVERSON: He gives numerous examples of what he calls Gibran’s “muzziness,” and pseudo-paradoxes.
KANFER: Here he is on marriage. This, by the way, from a man who never married. “Fill each other’s cup but drink not from one cup. Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each of you, each one of you be alone even as the strings of a lute are alone.”
BUSHRUI: This is, this is mysticism. This is that other level of communicating.
GISMONDI: He says that joy is sorrow unmasked. He talks about how if you’re sitting at your table with sorrow, joy is in your bed waiting to awaken.
SEVERSON: Khalil Gibran was born in 1883 in Northern Lebanon, and grew up in a poor, Maronite Catholic family. Priests tutored him about the bible, but he had no formal education. After his father was imprisoned for embezzlement, his mother moved the family to Boston, Massachussetts.
LIESL SCHILLINGER: He arrived with his family as a 12-year-old immigrant, living in the slums of Boston, the Syrian quarter. And by the time he was 13 or 14, he had already been discovered.
SEVERSON: Liesl Schillinger is a New York literary critic, who contributes to several major publications.
SCHILLINGER: He has a beautiful face and he is said to have had an arresting and mystical way about him. People felt they were talking to a prophet. And he went pretty quickly from being this teenager to having his own verse published in various quarterlies.
SEVERSON: Gibran had help along the way, as he grew into adulthood — usually from women.
SCHILLINGER: It’s true that he admired women and many of them admired him. You know, this is a handsome man who speaks of love, who speaks

I think one of the things I love the most about dramas is the insight into the human soul and often very deep wisdom. Dramas can cause us reflect. That is why I chose to accept the three day quote challenge bestowed upon me by Kay from KdramaKisses and Kwon Sang Seung From Dramajjang (two really fantastic blogs by the way, I kid you not).
So for my three day quote challenge, I decided I would keep it broken up into three days (one quote a day). But since I was nominated by 2 different people, instead of giving you six quotes, I decided for each quote I would draw an abstract artistic interpretation to go along with the theme of the quote. I don’t expect anyone else to do this (I really enjoy sketching out things). The quotes do not need to be strictly from dramas. They can be from music, books etc. The idea is you post one a day, but if you want to post them altogether I see no harm in that. Once you post, you then nominate three other people to do the same. It’s fun; but of course there’s no obligation.
Quote of the Day: From Bubblegum Episode 4
For My first quote I decided to go with one of my favourite quotes from Bubblegum since it’s still fresh in my mind. Bubblegum is a gold mine in terms of quotes. There’s one fantastic quote after the other, since the drama focuses a lot on self reflection, growth, finding happiness and such.
“Hating a person I don’t even know very well… I don’t even have to hate him to this extent. Hating him to this extent, means that he is not the problem. That means… there is a problem within my heart.” – Ri Hwan, Bubblegum Episode 4
So to set up the scene a bit without going into too much detail, Ri Hwan (Lee Dong Wook) is very upset over a current situation involving Haeng Ah (Jung Ryeo Won) and her ex boyfriend who wants her back Suk Joon (Lee Jong Hyuk).
Ri Hwan is feeling a very strong sense of hatred towards Suk Joon, but in Ri Hwan’s inner dialogue, he acknowledges that the issue lies within him, and not so much because of Suk Joon. Ri Hwan is struggling and learning about his own feelings, and as a result it’s causing a great stir within him.
This quote rings so true; when something really bothers us about someone else, the problem often lies within ourselves. Often what we dislike about others can be rooted in our own insecurities and struggles. Ri Hwan’s struggle, though in this moment he is very heated, gives him the opportunity to clearly see his own heart. I think in our own hearts as well, in instances like these, we should take that time to reflect and grow (often easier said then done).
And thinking about this quote, here’s my artistic interpretation of it.
I title it “Problem within my heart”.
So what I’m trying to illustrate here, is the heart is conflicted. It contains both warmth and darkness. The flames are what are being projected outwards. The droplets, or tears, are the acknowledgement of the inner conflict coming out in form of emotion. The issue not being dealt with grows and becomes more deeply rooted, spreading like a virus, crawling into the dark, lonely hidden space from within.
Feel free to interpret it how you will. Basically, there’s a problem, and to have such deep unfounded resentment and anger towards someone means there’s something within us that needs to be addressed.
Here are my nominations (because I heart you all):
Until tomorrow with a new quote!

FIBER-SAFE EXTRACTION OF RED MORDANT DYES FROM HAIR FIBERS
ERICA J. TIEDEMANN, & YIQI YANG
ABSTRACT—To extract red mordant dyes from wool fiber samples, a new method was devised using a solution of 0.1% ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid in water combined with N,N-dimethyl formamide. This method, which was tested on madder, Relbunium, and cochineal dyestuffs having an alum mordant, enabled the authors to analyze the extracted dyes with spectrophotometry for their characteristic absorption curves and also left the fibers sufficiently intact for use in further examinations. The new method is compared with previous dye extraction methods. A case study of its application on samples of pre-Columbian cameloid fibers is presented.
Not long ago, historic dyestuff analysis was accomplished by comparing the visible hues of an unknown dyeing against known dyeings and basing conclusions on the best color match. Because of color changes due to fading or aging and variations in the natural sources of the dyes, the constitution of the dyebath, and the fiber substrates, this method is not reliable. Hence researchers have sought more discriminating methods related to the chemical composition of the dyes. These include a systematic series of extractions and chemical reactions (Schweppe 1988), ultraviolet/visible light spectrophotometry (UV/VIS) (Young 1957; Saltzman et al. 1963; Saltzman 1978, 1986, 1992), infrared (IR) spectrometry (Abrahams and Edelstein 1964; Hofenk-de Graaff 1969; Martoglio et al. 1990), thin layer chromatography (TLC) (Geiss-Mooney and Needles 1981; Kharbade and Agrawal 1985; Schweppe 1986, 1988), and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) (Wouters 1985; Wouters and Verhecken 1985, 1989a, 1989b; Walker and Needles 1986; Fischer et al. 1990; Wouters and Rosario-Chirinos 1992).
Apart from the single fiber IR method proposed by Martoglio et al. (1990), all these procedures require extraction of the dye from the fiber. Until now, researchers have extracted dyes in strong acid solutions. With heat, the hydrochloric or sulfuric acid solutions quickly release the dyes from the fibers. At the same time, the acid also quickly destroys protein and cellulosic fibers as well as some of the dyes. Because of the need to balance the level of destruction with the amount of information obtained when examining historic textile materials, emphasis has been placed on reducing the size of specimens.
The extraction method described below, using ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) and N,N-dimethyl formamide (DMF), extracts sufficient dye from 2 mg specimens for spectral detection and identification yet leaves wool fibers intact for further investigation. The effectiveness of the method is compared with the water/methanol/hydrochloric acid (HCl) extraction method developed by Wouters and Verhecken (1989b). Concentrations of the yarn extracts are measured with the photometry function on the UV-VIS spectrophotometer. Also, the absorbance curves for madder, Relbunium, and cochineal after EDTA/DMF extraction are shown to be readily distinguishable for identification purposes. The effect of the EDTA/DMF treatment on wool fibers is assessed by tensile testing and microscopic examination of the fiber surface.
The EDTA/DMF extraction method is also tested on red fibers taken from the collection of ancient Peruvian textiles in the Krannert Art Museum, University of Illinois, Champaign. The dyes are identified by UV/vis spectrometry. Microscopic examination reveals that the fibers remain in good condition after extraction.
2 THE MORDANT-DYE COMPLEX
The natural red dyes used in this study are madder, Relbunium, and cochineal. Madder, a vegetable dye produced by Rubia tinctorum common to Europe and the Middle East, contains mainly alizarin as well as purpurin, pseudopurpurin, munjistin, and rubiadin (Wouters 1985). Relbunium, from the species Relbunium ciliatum, Relbunium hirsutum, Relbunium hypocarpium, is a related vegetable dye native to South America. Schweppe (1986) identified purpurin and pseudopurpurin as components of Relbunium dye, emphasizing that it contains no alizarin. Wouters and Rosario-Chirinos (1992) also identified xanthopurpurin and munjistin in the extract of a Relbunium dyeing. Cochineal, an insect dye produced by the species Dactylopius coccus, also originates from South

When seasonal allergy time finally arrives in force, sufferers can expect a bumper crop of pollen -- courtesy of a wet winter that has left the ground saturated and the trees ready to burst, experts say.
"Trees are robust and full of nutrients," that are just waiting for the right combination of sunlight duration and several days of 50- to 60-degree temperatures, said Dr. Leonard Bielory, an allergist and professor at the Center for Environmental Prediction at Rutgers University in New Jersey.
"The ground is nice and wet -- a rich environment for pollinating trees and grasses," said Dr. Sharon Markovics, an allergist in Manhasset.
Depending on temperatures, trees on Long Island typically pollinate in late March, followed by grasses in early April, Markovics said. People can be affected earlier, however, by pollen blowing in from areas hundreds of miles to the south, she said.
But while last winter's numerous storms set the stage for a pollen fest, the ultimate severity of the season can be affected by weather to come, said Dr. Catherine Monteleone, an allergist and professor at the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, with campuses in New Jersey.
An abundance of rain in April and May can wash much of the pollen out of the air, she said, while dry, windy days can mean trouble. That's because it's mostly "wind-pollinated" trees and grasses -- as opposed to plants pollinated by insects -- that cause people to have symptoms, she said.
Precipitation, including rain and melted snow, for December, January and February was 3.3 inches above normal, the weather service said.
As for expected precipitation in coming months? The National Weather Service says there's an equal chance of above, below and normal precipitation amounts for April, May and June, with normal at 4.34 inches, 3.78 and 4.27, respectively.
Last year's allergy season got an especially early start, allergists said, because of a mild winter and the record-breaking warmth of March that accelerated the pollination phase of many trees. Instead of the normal influx of patients in March and April last year, some allergists got calls as early as February.
In addition to pollen, warmer temperatures can mean a different problem for people in homes flooded by Sandy that were not effectively cleaned -- the resurgence of mold. Colder temperatures help suppress mold growth, but warmer temperatures, along with moisture, create conditions for it to thrive, said Dr. Ken Spaeth, director of Occupational and Environmental Medicine Center at the North Shore-Long Island Jewish Health System.
Some allergists say that since superstorm Sandy hit Oct. 29 they have seen an uptick in patients with mold-related symptoms -- similar to those brought about by pollen allergies -- sneezing; runny nose; stuffy nose; and red, itchy, watery eyes.

Mike Silver of Yahoo! Sports is trying to kill the dream of Peyton Manning to the Kansas City Chiefs. He writes in a story on Yahoo! Sports today about the teams that make the most sense for Manning and one of the teams at the bottom is the Chiefs.
Silver doesn't think Manning in KC makes much sense saying the (soon-to-be-former) Colts QB would be "crazy to consider the Chiefs." Let's go through his reasoning...
He'd be crazy to consider the Chiefs as long as you brush off all the reasons he should consider the Chiefs like the salary cap space, the presence of a game-breaking running back, Dwayne Bowe and a defense on the verge of turning into a top 10 unit. If you take those out then, yeah, the Chiefs don't make as much sense.
Comparing Manning to a rookie third round pick is a huuuuuge stretch. I'm not even sure what that means. Publicly, at least, Daboll has indicated he could adjust by saying he does what fits the personnel (as all coaches say).
Another is general manager Scott Pioli, whose control-freak tendencies likely wouldn't allow for a quarterback who desires near autonomy. (If nothing else Manning, were he to sign with the Chiefs, should keep his cell-phone number a secret.)
Wait a minute. The dude who played for Bill Polian for 13 years won't play for a control freak? Really? Silver's one of my favorite sports writers but he kills Pioli every chance he gets. Plus, Romeo Crennel is a defensive guy which means he'd be pretty hands off on the offense. I don't see think this is a very strong point.
Legit point here on the Chiefs offensive line. Upgrading the line is supposed to be a big focus this offseason. KC could have as many as three new starters along the offensive line.
Bottom line: I don't see Manning in a Chiefs uniform, at all.
Reasonable minds can disagree on some of these points, including those in Vegas who last week set the odds of Manning landing in KC at 4 to 1.

I saw a program recently called "How the Universe Works" discussing Black Holes. One of the enigmas, it seems, is the existence of extraordinarily large'supermassive' black holes -- black holes of hundreds of billions of solar masses. They were thought not to be able to have formed organically given the age of the universe -- or so the program stated.
The theories discussed for the formation of such black holes had to do with the improbability of forming from such masses of early hydrogen, or the consumption of other matter/black holes since the Big Bang. Evidently, there would not be nearly enough time for such supermassive black holes to form.
It occurred to me that there may be another way for these monsters to appear. We know that the universe was not homogeneous even at the beginning by looking at the cosmic background radiation. The density and distribution of the galaxies and galactic clusters throughout the universe seems to follow suit. So, why could these supermassive black holes not have formed more quickly in the beginning when the energy/mass densities were the highest they would ever be?
One analogy comes to mind is super cooling. I could imagine the early universe in whole or in part in a very exotic unstable state such as a super cooled liquid. Any anomaly or perturbation could nearly instantaneously 'condense' or nucleate an incredibly high local energy density into it's matter counterpart. I imagine this happening even before the formation of neutrons/protons/electrons or other matter -- perhaps on a scale to produce one of these enigmatic black holes.
Since we already have matter-antimatter pairs appearing out of the energy of the vacuum, then annihilating, this idea did not seem so far-fetched. Perhaps others have considered such a possibility.

AbstractAmphibian skin contains large amounts of compounds which have biological activities. The research and exploitation of the peptides in amphibian skin secretions with antimicrobial or haemolytic activities has become increasingly popular. Many studies show that the antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) collected from amphibians have pharmacological and clinical potential.
This thesis focuses on a novel peptide discovered from the skin secretion of Phyllomedusa sauvagii. Firstly, “shotgun” cloning was used to obtain the nucleotide and translated open-reading frame (ORF) amino acid sequence of this precursor-encoding cDNA. BLAST analysis indicated that the amino acid sequence of the novel peptide QUB-2909 (ALWKNMLKGIGKLAGQAALGAVKTLVGAE) belonged to the dermaseptin family. QUB-2909 was then synthesised by use of solid phase peptide synthesis. After being purified by RP-HPLC, the novel synthetic peptide was used to test for biological functions.
The novel peptide QUB-2909 showed low antimicrobial activity against the Gram-negative bacterium E. coli, the Gram-positive bacterium S. aureus and the yeast C. albicans at a concentration of 128 μM and little haemolytic activity on horse red blood cells up to the highest concentration 512 μM, employed. Moreover, the novel peptide does not have the ability to prevent the growth of several cancer cells and induce contraction or relaxation of the smooth muscle.

Butterfly fish are the glamour fish of the coral reefs. They are colorful, beautiful, and have been very well-studied worldwide. Finding a new species is a rare event. Deep coral reefs at depths of 150 to 500 feet, also known as mesophotic coral ecosystems or "the coral-reef twilight zone," are among the most poorly explored of all marine ecosystems. Deeper than most scuba divers can venture, and shallower than most submersible-based exploration, these reefs represent a new frontier for coral reef research and it was here where the new fish was first observed more than 20 years ago and caught for the first time just recently.
The new fish, Prognathodes basabei, is named after Pete Basabe, a veteran local diver from Kona who, over the years, has assisted with the collection of reef fishes for numerous scientific studies and educational displays. Basabe, an experienced deep diver himself, was instrumental in providing support for the dives that produced the first specimen of the fish that now bears his name.
For the experts: A new species of the butterflyfish genus Prognathodes is described from specimens collected at a depth of 55–61 m off Pearl and Hermes Atoll, Northwestern Hawaiian Islands. This species has been observed by mixed-gas divers and from submersibles at depths ranging from 45–187 m throughout the Hawaiian Archipelago, with shallower sightings in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands and deeper in the Main Hawaiian Islands. It is similar to P. guezei (Maugé and Bauchot 1976) from the western Indian Ocean, and at least one other undescribed species of Prognathodes from Palau, differing from these species in the number of soft dorsal-fin rays, size of head, and body depth. There are also differences in the life color, and a substantial genetic difference from the Palauan species (d ».08 in mtDNA cytochrome oxidase I).

1954 saw the introduction of a new four-cylinder sports racer, the 750
Monza. Sporting a three-litre version of the 500 Mondial's engine, the
Monza was much more powerful, with 250 hp (186 kW) available, but barely
heavier at 760 kg (1,675 lb). The new-style body was penned by Pinin
Farina and presaged the droop-nose look of the famed 250 GTO, but it was
Scaglietti's 750 Monza, with its faired-in headrest suggesting the
flowing Testa Rossa that drew attention.
Alberto Ascari was killed in the car during an impromptu testing session
at Monza in 1955.
Mike Hawthorn and Umberto Maglioli piloted their 750 Monza to victory at
Monza on its very first race, giving the car its name. Although they
were strong on the track, the Monza was unable to hold off the
Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR in 1955, allowing the Germans to seize the sports
car championship that Ferrari claimed in 1954.

WFWP – Europe just staged the fourth Dignity conference in Dresden.
I’ve just joined together the short clips of film I took with Timi’s camera to make a four minute film – by no means representative, but at least a bit of live action.
Ms Staudinger’s voice is just so beautiful. I’m glad I caught a glimpse of that.
The film actually starts in the Czech Republic where we stopped for lunch on the way to Dresden. The chip card got full a number of times and the battery was flat after a while too, so I could not make continuous documentation. Franz Fronek was also taking photos, which he also gave to Ingrid, so I managed to just accept the fact of the limitations of the situation. I can’t make a perfect report or film and photograph everything – so my contribution is just exactly that – my contribution!
Lots of the participants also took photos. I’d have liked to have collected all the photos and made good documentation, but I won’t have the time to process it anyhow, so – this is it. I uploaded a few of the photos to the Facebook group: Women’s Federation for World Peace Europe. I also noticed that there are now also a few more FaceBook groups of Women’s Federation. Now I’ll see if I can upload this film here.
Mission accomplished. The video is public. Now it’s up to anybody else who has smart suggestions, to do it themselves.

Tropical Storm Rafael strengthened into Hurricane Rafael late last night (Oct. 15), and a NASA satellite caught sight of the swirling storm early this morning.
Rafael first became a tropical storm on Oct. 12, just as its predecessor, Tropical Storm Patty, was waning. The storm strengthened as expected and was declared a hurricane by the National Hurricane Center (NHC) as of 5:45 p.m. EDT, making it the ninth hurricane of the 2012 Atlantic hurricane season.
While it is the tail-end of hurricane season, which officially ends on Nov. 30, a peak in hurricane formation is seen in mid-October in historical trends. This secondary peak, which is smaller than the main peak in August and September, comes from a unique mix of still warm ocean waters and atmospheric conditions that can still spawn storms, according to the Capital Weather Gang, a weather-focused Washington Post blog.
Hurricane Rafael has maximum sustained winds of 90 mph (150 kph), as of the most recent NHC update, making it a Category 1 storm on the Saffir-Simpson scale of hurricane strength.
NASA's GOES-14 satellite spied the storm from its orbit and took an image at 7:45 a.m. EDT today (Oct. 16).
The hurricane is about 250 miles (400 kilometers) south of Bermuda and heading to the north-northeast. The storm is expected to pass to the east of the island later today; its center will be far enough away that Bermuda will likely only see the tropical storm-force winds at the edge of the storm, and a tropical storm warning is in effect for the island.
The satellite image shows that the strongest thunderstorms within the hurricane are on its western side — the bright white clouds there are evidence of the strong convection (the overturning of air that drives the storms) taking place, according to a NASA statement.
Rafael could bring rains of 2 to 4 inches (5 to 10 centimeters) to Bermuda and will likely cause dangerous surf conditions there and along some parts of the U.S. East Coast, according to the NHC.
Hurricane hunters have been monitoring the storm and say that it still appears well-organized, but it is expected to weaken as it moves northward and into less favorable conditions. The NHC forecast predicts that Rafael will be a post-tropical storm by Thursday morning (meaning it will have the strength of a tropical storm, but has moved out of tropical waters).
It has been nearly two weeks in between Rafael becoming a hurricane and the last hurricane in the Atlantic basin, which was Hurricane Nadine. Nadine reached hurricane status twice during its nearly 22 days wandering over the Atlantic (which tied it with 1971's Ginger as the second longest-lasting tropical storm in the Atlantic basin). It was last a hurricane on Oct. 1. [50 Amazing Hurricane Facts]
Rafael is the 17th named storm of the 2012 Atlantic hurricane season, which was expected to see 12 to 17 named storms, according to an updated August forecast (storms must achieve tropical storm status before they are named). That same forecast predicted five to eight of those storms would become hurricanes, so the number of actual hurricanes has surpassed the expected number.

Having a fruitful garden harvest is a dream many people have, but it can be hard to achieve depending on your circumstances. Raised beds generally have fantastic drainage, and warm-up earlier in the season, and those with physical limitations can enjoy gardening more easily. Even better? Several vegetables are easy to grow in a raised bed.
From fresh herbs to leafy greens to root vegetables and tomatoes, raised beds make having a bountiful garden more accessible than ever. Raised beds on a smaller scale can make it easier to garden in small spaces, such as on an apartment patio or balcony. Let’s take a closer look at more of the benefits of raised bed gardens and cover some of the best vegetables that can be grown in your space.
Benefits of Gardening in Raised Beds
Growing food in raised beds has a ton of advantages. Using a raised bed is a smart choice if you live in an area with less than ideal soil, whether it be too rocky, sandy, or you have clay soil. You can set up your beds, fill them with good quality dirt, and grow vegetables that you wouldn’t be able to develop directly in the ground.
If your goal is a beautiful garden that is pleasing to the eye, potager gardening is a fun choice. Otherwise, you can set your beds up according to what fits best in the space you have available to you. You don’t even have to limit yourself to just edible plants, as flowers are a great way to add color to your planting area.
Other benefits include:
- Fewer weeds
- Adequate drainage
- Root crops thrive in deep, loose soil
- Easy to maximize your space, allowing you to have a bountiful harvest
- Aesthetically pleasing
- The soil in a raised bed warms up sooner than the ground does
Types of Raised Beds
When it comes to setting up your raised bed garden, you have many different options. If you are handy and have access to lumber and tools, you can always build beds with wood from your local hardware store or lumberyard. For those that want something easier, you can turn many different things into raised beds. If you’re looking for unique alternatives, Pinterest is a great place to look for ideas.
Some unique and popular alternatives to building wooden beds include:
- Old tires
- Plastic kiddie pools (just be sure to make holes in the bottom for drainage)
- Garden bags
- Wooden boats
- Kids’ sandboxes
Choosing Your Vegetables
As you’re browsing your local stores’ seed selection or online seed websites, you’ll notice that there are seeds for any fruit and vegetable you can imagine. It may seem overwhelming, and you may want to grow everything, but it’s best to start small.
- Choose things you know you will eat
- Pay attention to your growing season
- Look into how long each vegetable will take to be ready and plan accordingly
10 Best Vegetables to Grow In Raised Beds
From spinach and lettuce to chard and kale, leafy greens are a fantastic choice for raised beds. Many people even like having a bed specifically for a salad garden, containing all of their favorite greens to include in a salad. Most of the options for lettuce and spinach do well in cooler weather, so this is something you can start sooner in the season than other things.
Raised beds are a great way to do this if you want an herb garden. Having a bed right outside your backdoor or even a window box you can access from your kitchen can allow you to have an abundance of herbs at your fingertips. Chives, parsley, dill, cilantro, and many more can be grown this way.
Root vegetables are an excellent choice for raised beds, and radishes are a popular favorite amongst gardeners. They’re one of the fastest-growing vegetables you can plant.
This versatile root vegetable is easy to grow and requires very little work. You can start them from seeds, or you can grow them from bulbs.
Ideal for loose, deep soil, carrots thrive in raised beds. There are a ton of varieties you can choose from, from the traditional orange kind to yellow, purple, pink, and even white ones. If your ground soil is tight and rocky, a raised bed is the best way to get a bountiful carrot crop going.
Tomatoes are a very popular choice because there are countless varieties to choose from. Tomatoes are very versatile and can be used in sandwiches, salads, soups, and salsa. You don’t even need very deep soil to grow a healthy amount of tomatoes.
Just about every type of cuisine benefits from garlic, from pasta and garlic bread to steak and chicken. Garlic is a good choice for raised beds because it is easy to grow, doesn’t need super deep soil, and will keep coming back year after year.

- Height: 8.5-11.5 inches
- Weight: 3.5-7 pounds
- Life Expectancy: 13-15 years
- Group: Toy Group
A diminutive satin-coated terrier with an amusing toy-dog personality, the Toy Fox Terrier is, as breed fanciers say, “truly a toy and a terrier.” They began as barnyard ratters but are today beguiling companions with a big personality.
The Toy Fox Terrier is truly a toy and a terrier and both have influenced his personality and character. As a terrier, the Toy Fox Terrier possesses keen intelligence, courage, and animation. As a toy his is diminutive, and devoted with an endless abiding love for his master. The Toy Fox Terrier is a well-balanced Toy dog of athletic appearance displaying grace and agility in equal measure with strength and stamina. His lithe muscular body has a smooth elegant outline which conveys the impression of effortless movement and endless endurance. He is naturally well groomed, proud, animated, and alert. Characteristic traits are his elegant head, his short glossy and predominantly white coat, coupled with a predominantly solid head, and his short high-set tail.
About the Toy Fox Terrier
A surefire recipe for fun: Take the lovability of a lapdog. Combine with terrier tenacity. Pour the mixture into a beautifully balanced container. Wrap in a tight-fitting satin coat. Top with large, erect ears and dark eyes that sparkle with eager intelligence. This is the Toy Fox Terrier, a lithe but sturdy little comedian standing under a foot tall but packed with enough charisma for a whole kennel of ordinary dogs. The breed’s admirers like to say, “TFTs are truly a toy and a terrier.”
NUTRITION The Toy Fox Terrier should do well on a high-quality dog food, whether commercially manufactured or home-prepared with your veterinarian’s supervision and approval. Any diet should be appropriate to the dog’s age (puppy, adult, or senior). Some dogs are prone to getting overweight, so watch your dog’s calorie consumption and weight level. Treats can be an important aid in training, but giving too many can cause obesity. Learn about which human foods are safe for dogs, and which are not. Check with your vet if you have any concerns about your dog’s weight or diet. Clean, fresh water should be available at all times.
GROOMING The Toy Fox Terrier requires minimal grooming. Shedding is helped along by using a small shedding comb or a gentle hound glove. The breed needs only an occasional bath. The owner should start grinding or trimming the pup’s toenails at a young age if possible, so that he will be accustomed to the procedure.
EXERCISE Quick, alert, and athletic, Toy Fox Terriers like running and romping. They enjoy walking, running, and hiking outdoors when they have the chance. On “days off,” they are happy to run laps in the living room! Kids especially are charmed by the unending energy and zeal for play throughout this dog’s life, but as with all toy breeds, they are not recommended for small children. Their small size makes them ideal for an apartment, although they love to explore the outdoors.
TRAINING Early socialization and puppy training classes are recommended for all dogs and help to ensure that the Toy Fox Terrier grows into a well-adjusted, well-mannered companion. Housebreaking can involve just training the puppy to go outside, or it can include training him the use of a potty pad indoors, which can be very helpful for travel or during inclement weather conditions. Toy Fox Terriers are content and capable of any range of activities from hunting, to obedience, to just lounging around in the sun (or on the sofa). They are naturally extroverted and highly intelligent, which makes training, including house-training, a breeze.
HEALTH Obesity is a serious issue for Toy Fox Terriers. Healthy diet and exercise are a must. Responsible breeders will screen their stock for health conditions such as patellar luxation and eye disease. The dog’s anal glands must be checked often, and the teeth need to be cared for regularly.
Recommended Health Test from the National Breed Club:
- Patella Evaluation
- PLL DNA Test
- Thyroid Evaluation

Two missile mock-ups gleamed in the Alabama sun on Monday as political leaders, military officials and Raytheon executives cut the ribbon at a factory that will soon play a key role in the U.S. missile defense program.
William H. Swanson, Raytheon Chairman and CEO, cuts the ribbon at the company’s new missile plant in Huntsville, Ala. on Nov. 26, 2012. He was joined by Vice Admiral James D. Syring, director of the Missile Defense Agency; Rep. Mo Brooks; Sen. Richard Shelby; Dr. Taylor Lawrence, Raytheon Missile Systems President; and Lt. Gov. Kay Ivey.
“This integration center, its employees and the innovative products we build here will indeed be national assets,” said Dr. Taylor W. Lawrence, Raytheon Missile Systems president. “We recognize that countless lives may one day depend on these technologies.”
The new $75 million, 70,000 square-foot facility will produce the Standard Missile-3, a defensive weapon used to destroy short- to intermediate-range ballistic missiles. It will also produce the Standard Missile-6, which defends naval vessels against fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft, unmanned aerial vehicles and cruise missiles.
The new plant is located on the U.S. Army’s Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Ala., the same legendary rocket-building complex that built the Saturn V rocket that launched astronauts to the moon. Raytheon expects to bring 300 related jobs to ‘Rocket City" over the next two years.
Standard Missile-3 (SM-3) and Standard Missile-6 (SM-6) models are positioned outside of Raytheon's new, state-of-the-art missile integration facility.
“We appreciate the hours of preparation, positive negotiations and attention to detail throughout the planning and construction phases,” Lawrence said. “Raytheon is proud to be a part of Alabama's Aviation and Aerospace Corridor.”
The new plant features a fleet of laser-guided transport vehicles that silently move missiles around the factory. The robotic, automatic guided vehicles carry up to five tons and use lasers and software to position missiles within 1/10,000 of an inch.
The factory’s machinery can handle future designs as well. Since it was conceived and built for flexibility, it will enable the company to quickly respond to meet production needs of the U.S. military.

Labour’s libel plot to muzzle newspapers that would see press pay hefty legal bills if they are sued – but The Guardian would be spared
- Opposition wants to create two-tier system of state-backed press regulation
- Laws wound in effect saddle news organisations with legals costs in every case
- They would be forced to pay up even if they won defamation claims
- New rules would hit smaller publishers signed up to Impress the hardest
- However, The Guardian would be spared as it is a non-profit enterprise
- Proposal was widely decried as muzzling truth by proponents of press freedom
Labour yesterday launched a drive for a two-tier system of state-backed regulation of the Press which would go easy on the country’s most influential Left-wing newspaper.
Plans put forward by deputy leader Tom Watson would expose all national newspaper groups to punishing legal bills every time someone chose to sue them – even if the newspaper won.
But a clause in Mr Watson’s new law would lift the threat from the Labour-friendly Guardian.
Labour deputy leader Tom Watson (left) would expose all national newspaper groups to punishing legal bills every time someone chose to sue them – even if the newspaper won.
The proposal to treat some newspapers differently from others was included in amendments laid down by Labour leaders to the Data Protection Bill which will go before MPs on Wednesday.
Mr Watson has accepted £540,000 in donations from Max Mosley, the former motor racing chief and supporter of state-backed press regulation whose racist past was exposed by the Daily Mail.
The Labour proposal would also introduce a further two-tier system for regional papers. It would remove the threat of special penalties in the courts from some regional newspapers owned by smaller companies – but leave it hanging over others owned by bigger organisations.
Bizarrely, Mr Watson’s plans would mean a new legal threat to small publishers who have signed up to Impress, the state-approved press regulator largely bankrolled through a family trust by Mr Mosley.
Mr Watson accepted £540,000 in donations from Max Mosley, former motor racing chief and supporter of state-backed press regulation whose racist past was exposed by the Daily Mail
Another amendment would set up a second round of the Leveson inquiry into the Press which critics say would be pointless and costly.
The proposal from Mr Watson and shadow culture minister Liam Byrne is designed to give special protection to newspapers and websites which sign up to a state-approved regulator.
The only such regulator is Impress which is supported only by a limited number of very small publishers. It revives the heavily-criticised Section 40 of the Crime and Courts Act, which Culture Secretary Matt Hancock has refused to implement.
The majority of national newspapers have signed up to independent regulator the Independent Press Standards Organisation. The Guardian and sister paper the Observer, plus the Financial Times, have no independent regulator.
Among thousands of documents the Mail unearthed from his past is a vile pamphlet saying ‘coloured immigrants’ spread ‘tuberculosis, VD and other terrible diseases like leprosy’
The pamphet was made by Mr Mosley (right) for Walter Hesketh (left), unsuccessful British Union Movement candidate in the Moss Side Parliamentary by-election
Under Section 40, members of Impress would be shielded from paying any legal costs if anyone who complained refused arbitration and took them to court.
Those outside Impress would have to pay their own legal costs and the other side’s in any complaint that went to court, even if they won the case.
The Watson amendment contains two new clauses. Under Condition A Section 40 would not apply to a publisher who ploughs all profits back into the business.
That would lift the threat of extra legal costs from the Guardian and the Observer which are controlled by the Scott Trust whose rules say that if the loss-making papers move into profit the money would be put back into their newspaper and website operations.
Sir Oswald Mosley, with his son Max (circled) at his shoulder, leads a gang of neo-fascist bully boys into the Jewish East End in 1962 in an act of rank provocation
Condition B would free regional newpapers owned by groups with a five-year turnover of less than £100million from Section 40.
That would also harm small publishers who have signed up to Impress. It would mean they would be freed from Section 40 – which would expose them to paying their own costs if anyone took them to court.
Critics of Section 40 believe it would break human rights laws by restricting the free speech of some newspapers.
The News Media Association, which represents the news industry, said the amendments ‘would inflict enormous damage on a free press’.
Mr Hancock’s Department of Digital, Culture, Media and Sport said the amendments ‘would undermine a free press and high-quality, investigative journalism’.

ORANGE COUNTY: Bulk of ‘Tobacco Windfall’ Not for Health Programs
The Orange County Board of Supervisors Tuesday voted to use the bulk of the county's $912 million tobacco windfall -- due over the next 25 years -- to pay off huge debts incurred after the 1994 bankruptcy and to expand jail capacity, the Orange County Register reports. But in the face of criticism from health advocates, supervisors did concede to delay their final decision on how much tobacco money it should allocate to "improve care for the county's needy." The delay gives the County Health Agency four months to devise a comprehensive plan for the funding. After rejecting a proposal by County CFO Gary Burton to allocate only $7 million annually to health spending, Chair Charles Smith said, "We need to do more homework on what the needs are." Supervisor Cynthia Coad agreed, suggesting that $7 million should be considered as the minimum annual health allocation. "This gives us the opportunity to make (improved) health care a part of the county's strategic plan," said Sam Roth, spokesperson for the Health Alliance to Reinvest the Tobacco Settlement (Reed, 11/10). Orange County is the only Southern California jurisdiction planning to spend most of its tobacco settlement on non-health-related services, the Los Angeles Times reports. Supervisors contended that the "money should go to what they have long considered their biggest priorities: cutting debt... and reducing jail overcrowding." They added that early repayment of county debts will save $110 million in interest payments over the next 10 years (11/10). County expenditures on health programs "plunged" 20% after the 1994 bankruptcy, reaching only $32.6 million this year, compared to $40.3 million in 1995 (Orange County Register, 11/10).This is part of the California Healthline Daily Edition, a summary of health policy coverage from major news organizations.

The role of the Stefan-Boltzmann law’s nonlinearity on the structure of temperature change is investigated. It is expected to give rise to larger temperature change where the mean climate is colder. We linearize the radiative transfer scheme in a gray-radiation atmospheric General Circulation Model (GCM) with an interactive hydrological cycle. Contrary to expectations, climate change simulations with linearized radiation do not always have reduced polar amplification of surface air warming relative to the standard GCM configuration. However, the simulations with linearized radiation consistently show less warming in the upper troposphere and more warming in the lower troposphere across latitudes. The effect of the nonlinearity of the Stefan-Boltzmann law is to therefore systematically make the lapse rate feedback more stabilizing across latitudes. A hierarchy of GCM configurations (radiative equilibrium, radiative convective equilibrium, and full GCM) with linearized radiation is used to show the key role radiation plays in setting the vertical structure of temperature change, particularly in polar regions. We also show using both the idealized GCM and comprehensive estimates for Earth's climate that the combination of the spatial structure of the radiative forcing from an increase in well-mixed greenhouse gases and the Planck feedback structure, which arises from the Stefan-Boltzmann nonlinearity, produce a tropically-amplified warming.

This is perhaps the most recognizable firearm of World War II, made famous by the Airborne Troops of the 101st and 82nd Airborne Divisions. This military model differs from the original commercial model in its 20-round magazine and its horizontal foregrip. Though heavy by today’s standards, the weight helped control the.45 caliber bursts when operated on full-automatic. The bolt cocks and fires from an open position. The Thompson submachine gun (also known as the “Tommy Gun”, “Chicago Typewriter”, “Chicago Piano”, or “Trench Broom”) is a blowback-operated, air-cooled, magazine-fed selective-fire submachine gun, invented by the United States Army Brigadier general John T. Thompson in 1918. It was originally designed to break the stalemate of trench warfare of World War I, but was not finished until after the war ended.

New Model-Based PS Deghosting Boost Data Quality at Grane PRM
S. Ostmo, H. Westerdahl, H. Mehdi Zadeh, M.S. Guttormsen, B. King and L.J. Tveito
Event name: 80th EAGE Conference and Exhibition 2018
Session: Multi-component Seismic Acquisition, Processing and interpretation
Publication date: 11 June 2018
Info: Extended abstract, PDF ( 2.07Mb )
Price: € 20
In permanent reservoir monitoring (PRM) PS data, acquired with buried receivers, we have observed a number of notches in the spectra. These notches were not present in the spectra of receivers on the seafloor. To restore the PRM PS data quality, a model-based PS deghosting method for buried receivers is proposed and tested on real data, assuming that the variation in spectra is created by strong contrasts in the shear wave velocity in the very near surface. Only predominantly vertically travelling SS-reflections and transmissions are considered, including important contribution from internal multiples. A shallow layered model is inverted for using picked notches on receiver spectra. Inverse filters, one per receiver, is constructed from the model response and applied to receiver gathers. The method was tested within a complete processing sequence and applied to PRM data from the Grane field in the North Sea. Results indicated very low S-velocities close to the seabed, in the order of 20-40 m/s. The deghosting clearly improved the continuity and resolution in the final image.

Typically the largest deflection systems are required by the Power and Industrial sector, due to the large volumes of water abstracted as part of their operations. FGS has been providing systems to this sector since the company was established in 1994, in order that clients can reduce their impact on local fisheries as well as maintain the continual operation of the cooling water systems.
FGS has been working on major power plant projects since the company was established in 1994, and the systems are now considered best available technology for coastal waters by the UK Environment Agency.
Most hydro-electric schemes use the maximum available amount of water for generation, typically only allowing 2-5% of the base flow to bypass the turbines for environmental compensation.
Industrial plants can require large volumes of water and in the past legislation has only required screens to be installed to protect migrating salmonids (salmon and sea trout). READ MORE

In the seventies, Philip Temple wrote a series of Shell guides for many of the great New Zealand walking tracks including the Routeburn, Milford, Heaphy, Tongariro, Waikaremoana, Copland and Hollyford. The Routeburn Track Guide, published by Whitcoulls in 1976, has 40 pages, including a two-page centre map, and a personal notes page. While it is no longer in print, it has become highly sought after as one of the first guides to the track. Philip Temple has written 36 books going back to the early 1960s, with many related to New Zealand and his mountaineering experiences. He was a keen walker, personally walking the routes and taking part in expeditions to New Guinea and the sub-Antarctic. His diverse skills have included landscape photography and he continues to write novels.
I love reading walking guides and my bookshelf is full of such guides. It was therefore with a great degree of anticipation that I waited for my copy, bought online from the Tall Ships Gallery in Palmerston North.
This book is well illustrated by historical photos of Routeburn Flats, The Earland Falls, Emily Peak reflected in Lake Mackenzie, Lake steamer Antrim at Kinloch, Sir Thomas Mackenzie, the original hut at the start of the track, Harry Bryants open air buses, a two page map of the Routeburn track, Routeburn Gorge, Routeburn Falls, Lake Harris in spring, Looking down the Hollyford Valley, Lake Howden and the Greenstone Valley, Mounts Christina, Crosscut and Lyttle, Harris Saddle and shelter.
This guide is one of a series and in the author’s words ” ……designed to assist those who would quit wheels for walking, shoes for boots, and make the effort to explore the country first hand.”
History of the Track
The track has enormous historical significance for the Maoris as it represents an early route from Lake Wakatipu to mine greenstone in the mineral rich ranges to the north-west for trade in South Westland and Central Otago, which continued to the mid-nineteenth century. Wakatipu was first seen by Europeans about the same time. Not long after goldminers, searching for an more direct way to get their gold to Australia other than via Dunedin began exploring the Routeburn with the aim of establishing a port at Martins Bay.
Over the last hundred and forty years, the Routeburn has steadily gained popularity with tourists and trampers. Early in the 1900’s the track was extended from the Harris Saddle to Lake Howden.Then in the nineteen thirties, a motor service from Kinloch into the Routeburn commenced. Just before WWII the final section of the Routeburn track was completed and in the nineteen seventies the road over the Dart river meant that the Routeburn became accessible by motor car, replacing the lake steamer Earnslaw.
This section gives information about access, accommodation, weather, clothing and equipment, fitness and preparation.
In future posts, I will comment on Philip Temple’s sound advice and his route guide.

The trustee overseeing Girardi Keese LLP’s bankruptcy, after a Chapter 7 petition was filed against the now defunct law firm in December, opposes the appointment of a guardian ad litem to represent the firm’s interests in the case.
Girardi Keese is an entity, not a person, and an entity “cannot be incompetent,” Elissa D. Miller said in the statement filed in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California on Tuesday.
Robert Girardi cited no legal basis for his appointment to serve as guardian ad litem, alleging only that his brother, firm owner Thomas Girardi, is incompetent, Miller said.
Miller argues that a guardian ad litem wouldn’t add any benefit or serve in a role any different than the trustee. Robert Girardi’s motion is “devoid of any evidence” that he had any relationship with, or knowledge of, the firm, Miller said.
Meanwhile, Jason Rund, the trustee in parallel Chapter 7 proceedings against Thomas Girardi personally, filed a statement Tuesday saying he agreed with an opposition filed by creditor Edelson PC, insofar as it argues that “the state probate court is the proper court to make the determination” as to Girardi’s competency. Rund argues that the bankruptcy court should defer to that determination.
The California probate court granted in part a petition filed by Robert Girardi to appoint him as temporary conservator Monday, to allow him “the power to contract” on behalf of his brother. The court deferred the remainder of the petition to March 15, 2021.
Edelson PC, who served as local co-counsel for plaintiffs represented by GK in litigation over the 2018 Lion Air crash, is separately suing GK, Thomas Girardi, his estranged wife, and Real House Wives of Beverly Hills star and performer Erika Jayne, along with former attorneys at the firm who handled the Lion Air matters, over unpaid fees.
They are also pushing to hold the former GK attorneys in civil—and if not civil, then criminal—contempt, for failing to ensure that settlement proceeds were paid in full to their shared clients. Thomas Girardi was found in civil contempt in December after admitting that at least $2 million in client settlement funds haven’t been forwarded.
Both of those matters are ongoing in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois.
Thomas Girardi trustee Rund is represented by Levene, Neale, Bender, Yoo & Brill LLP. GK trustee Miller is represented by Smiley Wang-Ekvall LLP.
The federal bankruptcy cases are In re Girardi Keese, Bankr. C.D. Cal., No. 2:20-bk-21022-BR, trustee’s opposition 2/2/21 and In re Girardi Keese, Bankr. C.D. Cal., No. 2:20-bk-21022, trustee’s statement 2/2/21.

Time-dependent modeling of TeV-detected, young pulsar wind nebulae
The increasing sensitivity of instruments at X-ray and TeV energies have revealed a large number of nebulae associated to bright pulsars. Despite this large data set, the observed pulsar wind nebulae (PWNe) do not show a uniform behavior and the main parameters driving features like luminosity, magnetization, and others are still not fully understood. To evaluate the possible existence of common evolutive trends and to link the characteristics of the nebula emission with those of the powering pulsar, we selected a sub-set of 10 TeV detections which are likely ascribed to young PWNe and model the spectral energy distribution with a time-dependent description of the nebulae’s electron population. In 9 of these cases, a detailed PWNe model, using up-to-date multiwavelength information, is presented. The best-fit parameters of these nebula are discussed, together with the pulsar characteristics. We conclude that TeV PWNe are particle-dominated objects with large multiplicities, in general far from magnetic equipartition, and that relatively large photon field enhancements are required to explain the high level of Comptonized photons observed. We do not find significant correlations between the efficiencies of emission at different frequencies and the magnetization. The injection parameters do not appear to be particularly correlated with the pulsar properties either. We find that a normalized comparison of the SEDs (e.g., with the corresponding spin-down flux) at the same age significantly reduces the spectral distributions dispersion.
keywords:pulsars: general, radiation mechanisms: non-thermal
During the last few years, the number of pulsar wind nebulae (PWNe) detected at TeV energies has increased from 1 (the Crab nebula, Weekes et al. 1989) to 30. The latter number of detected PWNe, mostly contributed by the H.E.S.S. survey of the Galactic plane (see, e.g., Carrigan et al. 2013 for a recent status report), is similar to the number of characterized nebulae at other frequencies. The Cherenkov Telescope Array (Actis et al. 2011) will likely increase this number to several hundreds (de Oña Wilhelmi et al. 2013), probably providing an essentially complete account of TeV emitting PWNe in the Galaxy.
These recent PWNe discoveries provided a basic understanding of their phenomenology: assuming that the PWNe is maintained solely by the pulsar rotational power, the -ray luminosity detected is believed to be the result of Comptonization of soft photon fields by relativistic electrons injected by the pulsar during its lifetime. This scenario can lead to TeV sources without counterparts (e.g., the first one was detected by Aharonian et al. 2002, Albert et al. 2008), when the synchrotron emission is reduced by the decay of the magnetic field. Also, it can lead to large mismatches in extension between and X-ray energies, when the magnetic field is low enough that electrons emiting keV photons actually cool faster and are more energetic that electrons emitting in TeV (see de Jager & Djannati-Atai 2008 for a discussion). The explanation of these basic properties of the behavior of PWNe does not imply that we understand the population detected in detail.
1.1 Pulsars with low characteristic age
A compilation of pulsars with known rotational parameters and characteristic age of years is presented in Table 1, which is obtained from the updated ATNF catalog (Manchester et al. 2005) and includes the recently detected magnetar close to the Galactic Center (Mori et al. 2013, Rea et al. 2013). The value of the period, period derivative, distance, characteristic age, dipolar field, spin-down power, and is listed. Their definitions are given below. These values are obtained directly from the catalog, neglecting some better estimations on the distances, such as those of e.g., G0.9+0.1 or pulsars at the LMC, in favor of uniformity when compiling the table. According to their position in the sky, we added the label H, M or V (for H.E.S.S., MAGIC or Veritas respectively) to indicate the visibility from different Cherenkov telescopes. The names of the TeV putative PWNe (or at least co-located TeV sources even if the TeV source is likely not associated to the pulsar in some cases) are also included. The majority of these pulsars, located in the inner part of the Galaxy, were in the reach of the H.E.S.S. Galactic Plane Survey (GPS), which attains a roughly uniform sensitivity of 20 mCrab (Gast et al, 2012). Some of the pulsars in the northern sky have been observed by either MAGIC or Veritas, with comparable sensitivity.
To compare the pulsar sample in Table 1 we consider their characteristic ages. Even if this

In 2007, analogue transmission on longwave from Kalundborg were suspended after 80 years of service. Longwave transmissions were resumed in DRM (Digital Radio Mondiale) at reduced power on 3 October 2008 after substantial modifications to the aerial earlier that year.
Analogue transmissions continued on mediumwave with a restricted time schedule until 27 June 2011, when the mediumwave transmitter was taken out of service and replaced by a new longwave transmitter. The analogue transmissions on 243 kHz long wave will continue until at least the end of 2014. The old analogue long- and mediumwave reserve transmitter is known to have replaced the mediumwave and DRM transmitters on longwave from 16-31 October 2009, and the antenna tower for mediumwave is still standing.
For the longwave transmitter an Alexanderson aerial is used, with two grounded 118 m steel lattice radiating towers connected by top capacitance wires. The northern tower is fed from the transmitter through a top coil, with the top coil of the southern slave tower being fed via the capacitance wires. The medium wave transmitter uses an insulated guyed steel lattice mast aerial with a height of 147 metres. All mast virtually stand in the sea on the narrow Gisseløre peninsula, which allows for excellent radiation efficiency.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the dynamic behavior of a fluid conveying pipe and to propose suitable control strategies in order to eliminate or suppress its vibration. The system under consideration consists of a uniform, straight, vertical cantilever pipe which conveys incompressible fluid. Governing equation of motion for free transverse vibration is derived by using Newtonian approach. This equation is discretized using the finite element method. The effects of the fluid flow speed on open loop response of the system are investigated. The results show unstable behavior when the flow velocity exceeds a critical value. Neural network based controller are applied to the system to suppress the pipe vibration and to improve the stability conditions. The results show that neural network based controller successfully suppresses the vibration when the critical flow velocity is exceeded. Moreover, it holds the system response in the stable region at higher flow velocities. NN based controller learns the variation of the system against unknown flow velocities in the system and adapts itself against unknown changes.

Congressman Cuellar Announces New Federal Funding to Help Complete About $208 Million Worth of Starr County Highway Projects
Money to be authorized under the new federal highway bill will help fund Starr County transportation projects
Today Congressman Henry Cuellar (D-TX-28), who represents part of Bexar County, announced that under the newly passed and signed five-year federal highway authorization bill, about $208 million worth of Starr County transportation projects. A full list of these projects can be found in the attached documents labeled Funding and Projects and Map provided by the Texas Department of Transportation.
“I am pleased to announce these additional funds for Starr County road projects,” Congressman Cuellar said. “Thanks to the federal highway bill, Texas is estimated to receive more than $18 billion over the next five years. That is $2 billion more than provided under current funding levels. The Starr County road projects will include work on US 83 and FM 755, local roads used daily by residents and travelers. These road improvement projects will help the commuting experience for local residents and enhance the flow of commercial traffic through the county.
“Since 2000, the population of Starr County has increased from 53,597 to approximately 62,955, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, a population increase of 17.5 percent. This increase has led to a boom in traffic that slows down private vehicle traffic as well as the commercial traffic that drives the county’s economy. This is why the new federal highway authorization legislation is so vitally important to Starr County.”
The federal highway authorization bill was passed last week by both the House and Senate with resounding majorities. The bipartisan legislation was the first long-term highway authorization bill to be passed by Congress since MAP-21 in 2012.

Complete hobbyist here. I have two questions I have a problem figuring out. I have hard time finding information about axis and types of connections they have. For example take this worm gear reducer:
It has axis connection with small extrusion on one side, where motors usually have shaft with one flat side. I found this adapter :
on the site it's called
Axle sleeve but I haven't found this part by this name elsewhere, so maybe there is another more precise term?
Is there a beginner friendly resource I can study to get more familiar with this system? What both types of connections are called etc.

We’ve always been big proponents of polarized sunglass lenses, whether as a sun clip for your dress glasses or as non-Rx sport or fashion sunglasses. For this reason, we carry Costa Del Mar sunglasses. They have incredibly high quality lenses, which are all polarized as well as carry a long no fault warranty on the frames and accessories.
So what’s so special about a polarized lens compared to other sunglass lenses? Polarized lenses not only block dangerous UV light rays, they dramatically reduce glare from reflective surfaces such as snow, water, car windows and asphalt. There simply is not better lens technology for outdoor viewing.
Stop by the office to check out our selection of Costa Del Mar sunglasses. If you don’t see what you’re looking for, we can order in the style that you want to check out. Bring this blog post into the office and receive 10% off of any pair of Costa Del Mar sunglasses through the end of March 2010.
We can also put many prescriptions into Costa Del Mar frames to give you the best vision possible in a look that you know will be just right.

Glossier Turned to Tomorrow for their Move to Shopify
The Glossier site experience is the most often referneced beauty site in the eCommerce industry. Features & functionality that have been emulated by hundreds of aspiring brands, bulit by large internal engineering and product teams.
Tomorrow relaunched Glossier on Shopify in 8 short months, replicating every single feature that the brand had built over the previous 8 years. This launch represents a milestone in the industry, where large complex infrastructure is replaced by fast and efficient API-powered experiences.
Frontend Design, Systems Architecture, Frontend & Backend Development, Custom Middleware, Custom ERP
Supporting Seven Countries & Language Translations
Tomorrow's launch of Glossier.com & uk.Glossier.com represents one of the first and the largest launch of Shopify Markets. This includes:
1. Geolocation modal with country detection and suggested redirect
2. A custom-built country selector with redirects across two store instances
3. Translation support integrated into Liquid and React components
4. Custom integration of market specific nav menu’s
5. Custom integration of currency-converted shipping thresholds and currency-based discount promotions
6. And lastly, we've allowed client-set rounded threshold values for all applicable currencies
ERP-Like Features Built Directly on Shopify
Migrating from a custom platform to Shopify requires Tomorrow to develop ERP-like features on Shopify back end to handle real-time inventory movements, routing and fulfillment services for both online and in-store orders. It's extremely complicated but provides an advanced customer experience to have the ability to cancel orders by themselves and ensures inventory accuracies for fast-selling products.
Highly Custom Set & Bundle Functionality
We combined intuitive storefront UI/UX with a highly customized backend that supports an array of sets and set upsell requirements.
1. Displays as single line item, delivered to fulfillment as separate line items
In order to support a seamless communication with the fulfillment process, we implemented a custom solution that mimics a single set product in cart while also ensuring sets arrive as individual line items for orders.
2. Checkout Customization and Checkout Scripts
While sets display as a single line item, they are actually added to cart as individual child products. To achieve this for checkout, we had to take over the native line item summary to implement a custom approach that hides set child products and displays a mimicked set parent product
3. Support for Multiple Sets and Set Upsells
In order to support users adding multiple sets to cart (including multiple sets containing a common child product), we implemented custom line item properties including a unique 10-digit hash that keeps sets grouped when the same product is featured in two different sets.
Set Upsells that Detect Child Products and Offers Seamless in-cart Upsells
Sets are setup as a parent ‘set’ product or an individual child products for each set item
1. The parent set product is used to dictate custom add to cart functionality:
1a. Adds child products to cart
1b. Attaches specific line item properties including a unique hash to properly identify and group set products
2. When a user upgrades to a set:
2a. Their existing qualifying line item gets transferred into a set child product with all of the relevant line item properties
2b. If the qualifying line item has a quantity of more than 1, a single quantity is transferred into the set, while the remainder remains as its own line item
Advanced Promotions Enable Glossier to create Different Prices Across Markets and Currencies
Any promotion can be customized based on the customer’s currency and locale, for example:
1. Adding a GWP when a cart reaches $50, CAD$60, £40, or 300 kr.
2. Altering the effect of discount codes based on currency.
3. Restricting discount availability to certain currencies.
4. Providing locale-specific messaging on discounts.
How this works:
1. Glossier uses the theme customizer to set up messaging displayed to customers based on their currency and locale.
2. They couple this with heavily documented example configurations to manage complex discount functionality using Shopify Scripts.
3. Scripts and Themes are scheduled to be published ahead of time with Launchpad to manage a rapidly changing marketing strategy.
White Glove Service for Enterprise Clients
Tomorrow recognizes that projects and clients require varying levels of service. We customize our level of interaction to fit our clients’ needs.
1. Weekly meetings with Shopify, Client Tomorrow to ensure alignment
2. On-demand communication channels in Slack to provide expedited answers and direction
3. Direct channels with partner vendors to ensure timely responses
4. Daily meetings with client during launch preparation
5. Vendor recommendations, coupled with customized solutioning as needed
6. Provide detailed testing plans and

What locations would most likely be targeted during a nuclear attack?
The cities that would most likely be attacked are Washington, New York City and Los Angeles. Using a van or SUV, the device could easily be delivered to the heart of a city and detonated. The effects and response planning from a nuclear blast are determined using statics from Washington, the most likely target.
What major US cities were targeted by the Soviets?
Originally Answered: During the cold war, which United States cities were specifically targeted for nuclear missile attack by the U.S.S.R.? Like the others said, most likely Moscow, St. Petersburg, and Kiev were main targets, though areas with industry were also targeted.
Where are US nukes aimed at?
Here are the locations of nuclear weapons in the United States: Naval Base Kitsap (Washington) Malstrom Air Force Base (Montana) Nellis Air Force Base (Nevada)
Where do you go in case of a nuclear war?
The Best Places to Live in the Event of Nuclear War
- Antarctica. Antarctica could be the safest place to go in the event of nuclear war because the Antarctic Treaty banned all detonation of nuclear weapons there.
- New Zealand.
- Easter Islands.
- South Africa.
- Perth, Australia.
- French Polynesia.
Where are the most likely targets for a nuclear attack?
That includes the six urban areas that Redlener thinks are the most likely targets of a nuclear attack: New York, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Washington, DC.
Where does the US focus its nuclear weapons?
After destroying nuclear forces, they will focus their nuclear weapons towards American conventional military sites and installations. Population centers, cities and industrial bases are considered counter-value targets, so they would not get any benefits by destroying those targets.
Where are the nuclear targets in World War 3?
A few days ago I was doing research on nuclear war, world war 3, and potential nuclear targets and safe distances from those target sites when I came across the NUKEMAP.
Is it safe to use a nuclear target map?
A popular nuclear survival reference: I created the following map a number of years ago which indicate a few general regions where it appears as though it might be ‘safer’ relative to other areas based on observations from nuclear target maps coupled with radiation and wind fallout patterns via prevailing winds.

Washington : Men with low levels of the male sex hormone can take the testosterone replacement therapy without any worries as a new study has revealed that it will not increase their risk of prostate cancer.
In the analysis of more than a quarter-million medical records of mostly white men in Sweden, investigators at NYU Langone Medical Center and its Laura and Isaac Perlmutter Cancer Center found that, as a group, men prescribed testosterone for longer than a year had no overall increase in risk of prostate cancer and, in fact, had their risk of aggressive disease reduced by 50 percent.
“Based on our findings, physicians should still be watching for prostate cancer risk factors, such as being over the age of 40, having African-American ancestry, or having a family history of the disease in men taking testosterone therapy, but should not hesitate to prescribe it to appropriate patients for fear of increasing prostate cancer risk,” says lead author Stacy Loeb.
Loeb points out that much of the concern over cancer risk is that, as part of standard therapy for advanced prostate cancer, tumor growth is decreased by drugs that drastically reduce rather than increase male hormones. But when used appropriately by men with age-related low testosterone who are otherwise healthy, testosterone replacement has been shown to improve sexual function and mood.
“Overall, our study suggests that what is best for men’s health is to keep testosterone levels balanced and within a normal range,” says Loeb, who suggests that men with testosterone levels below 350 nanograms per deciliter and symptoms should seek medical advice about whether they should consider testosterone therapy.
The study will be presented at the annual meeting of the American Urological Association in San Diego, Calif. (ANI)

Photos: Severe storm damage, floods
Thomas Menino became Mayor of Boston in 1993 when then-Mayor Ray Flynn was named ambassador to the Vatican by President Clinton.
Thomas Menino was the longest serving Mayor in Boston's history.
Scores of buildings have been damaged and more than a dozen homes have been left uninhabitable in Revere after a tornado tore through the city Monday morning, city officials said.

READ: Psalm 91
THINK: Most people know that dialing the numbers 9-1-1 in the United States will get them in touch with emergency help. It’s so simple that even preschoolers have saved the lives of family members by using it. Three numbers do it all.
In one case, a woman’s car had been hijacked with her and her infant son inside. She dialed 9-1-1 on her cellular phone, but the hijacker was totally unaware of what she had done. With the police dispatcher listening, the young mother cleverly included clues about her location as she talked to the hijacker. Police were able to locate her and her baby and arrest the criminal.
In an emergency, help is as close as three pushes on the phone keypad. Often, though, the situations we face cannot be remedied by human rescuers. Many times our crisis requires divine assistance. When that happens, we can call a different kind of 9-1-1—Psalm 91:1. There we find the help and protection of our Almighty God. This verse reminds us that God is our “shelter” and that we can rest in His shadow.
When we face the crises of life, we often try to survive on our own. We forget that what we need most, God’s protection and the comfort of His presence, are available for the asking. The next time spiritual danger strikes, dial Psalm 91:1.
We need not fear life’s dark shadows when we abide under the shadow of God’s wings.
By: Dave Brannon in Our Daily Bread
PRAY: Thank God for the assurance of his love and his presence during difficult times in our lives!
An outstanding share! I have just forwarded this onto a coworker who had been doing a little homework on this. And he actually ordered me dinner because I found it for him… lol. So allow me to reword this…. Thank YOU for the meal!! But yeah, thanx for spending the time to discuss this topic here on your web site.

Coexistence of Cr and Ni in anthropogenic soils and their chemistry: implication to proper management and remediation

- In anthropogenic soils, there have been relatively limited studies focusing on Cr and Ni contaminants because they exhibit less toxic effects to overall ecosystem and human health than other metal contaminants. In recent years, however, soil contamination with Cr and Ni has become a serious concern in several parts of the world because of the continuously increasing concentrations of these metals due to accelerated industrialization and urbanization. To investigate the status of soil contamination with Cr and Ni by anthropogenic activities, relevant global data sets in different land-use types reported by several studies were reviewed. This review presents the significant work done on Cr and Ni concentrations in roadside, central business district (CBD), and industrial soils in 46 global cities and evaluated their correlation by global data in the past few years. The highest concentrations of Cr and Ni were observed in industrial soils. Furthermore, a significant relationship was found between Cr and Ni concentrations in the soils, which might be because both metals are released from the same sources or anthropogenic activity processes. We also discuss the state of knowledge about the chemistry and distribution of Cr and Ni in the soil environment to understand how their processes such as redox reaction, precipitation-dissolution, and sorption-desorption affect the remediation of Cr- and Ni-contaminated soils using in situ immobilization technology. Application of organic and inorganic immobilizing agents (e.g., lime, compost, and sulfur) for the clean-up of Cr- and Ni-contaminated soils has received increasing interest from several researchers worldwide. Several immobilizing agents have been suggested and experimentally tested with varying degrees of achievement in Cr- and Ni-contaminated soils. Overall, the use of sulfur-containing amendments and pH-increasing materials could be considered the best options for the remediation of co-contamination of Cr and Ni in soil.

The book is carried on a current of empathy. What an incredible writer she was. Woolf deliberately cuts the usual connections that conventional novelists present to give the reader continuity. Woolf as an impressionist painter catches moments and impressions, is lyrical and nostalgic. It changes; drapes her ankles—the nineties; then it amplifies—the seventies; now it's burnished red and stretched above a crinoline—the sixties; a tiny black foot wearing a white cotton stocking peeps out. James Hepburn London, 1968, 295. They were boastful, triumphant; it seemed to both that they had read every book in the world; known every sin, passion, and joy.
He travels to Paris, to Italy and to Greece, and then he is back to London. A wonderful introduction to the freedom of writing. This pose is gendered, of course, because the men went to war, and the women lost them. Her stylistic innovations are conscious attempts to realize and develop women's writing and the novel dramatizes her interest in the ways both language and social environments shape differently the lives of men and women. Woolf is almost as evocative by what she doesn't say in her descriptions as by what she does.
The fluids of composition and of sentiment seem inter changeable: 'Slowly welling from the point of her gold nib, pale blue ink dissolved the full stop; for there her pen stuck; her eyes fixed, and tears slowly filled them. We see rain against a window, flowers beaten to the earth, and ships tossed about in a storm. But the Cornish hills have stark chimneys standing on them; and somehow or other, loveliness is infernally sad. The brief scenes just pick out small points about Jacob, individual traits. Around such rooms, life, inevitably, circles.
But at the risk of being ostracised and anathematised by all the woman-feminists of my acquaintance, I shall continue to assert not only that even in this very advanced year women as a sex love to be dominated, but that for some thousands of years, if not for ever, they always will love to be d~minated. They see a whole-they see all sorts of things-they see themselves. Either we are cold, or we are sentimental. And when he does show up, he's usually on his way out of the scene. As Woolf noted on 20 September, 'Joyce gives internals',l7 precisely her aim in Jacob's Room, and she reflected on the 26th 'how what I'm doing is probably being better done by Mr Joyce'. The images meander through the pages and need to be enjoyed for what they are and not for their contribution to a story line. But whilst the revision here may be read as an example of Woolf tidying up a character's thought process, explicating the links between conscious and unconscious before compressing them, it also indicates the ultimate impossibility of dividing horizontal from vertical axes.
It is definitely my favorite! And I want to get drunk on all of it. The poetic language and the highly visual quality of the prose were, for me, the highlights of the work. In 191 1 we find him writing in a letter to Hilda Hellman '. Although I am very nearly obsessed with Virginia Woolf, this book only gets 3 stars because she is so clever and poetic with words, not because this book, as a whole, was a great read. In the printed version of the novel, education and literature are generally deployed far more deliberately and forcefully than in the manuscript as indicators of the cultural and social separation of the sexes. Three examples are particularly telling. Lawrence's The Lost Girl, published in the Times Literary Supplement on 2 December 1920, betrays a hint of potential embarrassment when she describes her preconception of Lawrence as a writer 'for whom the body was alive and the problem of the body insistent and important.
The sections relating to Mrs Flanders's home life are, in fact, considerably cut. As frequent as street corners in Holborn are these chasms in the continuity of our ways. It changes; drapes her ankles—the nineties; then it amplifies—the seventies; now it's burnished red and stretched above a crinoline—the sixties; a tiny black foot wearing a white cotton stocking peeps out. Woolf throws so much at her readers, without ever attempting to answer how it all might fit together. In Chapter 2 of the published text, Mrs Flanders receives, and politely rejects, Mr Floyd's letter proposing marriage: a page later, she strokes the cat which Mr Floyd had given the family 'and she smiled, thinking how she had had him gelded, and how she did not like red hair in men' 20.
Ah, but where are you going if instead of brushing past the old man with the white beard, the silver medal

Manifesto and the role of tools within the world of Agile Software Development?
Part 1 of the manifesto: “Individuals and interactions over processes and tools”
Are the tools we use to support our Agile Software Development ruining the actual agility on day-to-day basis? Are these tools affecting the chemistry of the team?
Are the companies that sell these tools feeling the pressure to innovate and to keep owners and stockholders happy? Then the innovation turns out to be tipping the manifesto statements to the right side (contradicting the manifesto) because the decision makers in companies who buy these tools want the tools that are all about tracking, measurements, and reporting.
I am putting a lot of questions in this post and I am not going to necessarily give you answers to these questions. This post is more about having you think about these things and realizing whether you as a software developer are already impacted by these tools or specific features of these tools. Are you asked to use certain features of these tools and you think that these features cross the line and tip the weight to the right side of the manifesto which really means contradict the manifesto itself?
Over the years I used many different tools that supported waterfall and agile development. Some of the more recent tools for agile development have been:
- Jira (some exposure)
- Asana (not necessirily build for agile but for overall task management)
- OneNote (yes, I said OneNote)
I am not going to praise or criticize specifically any of these tools. Some of them are simple and get the job done without forcing you to do it certain way. Some of them are more complex because they have all kinds of features for measuring and reporting and this generally looks attractive to managers who see this as an opportunity to closely track the work that the team is performing.
The question becomes, who is supposed to pick the tool? Are the members of the development team supposed to recommend a tool that helps them get the job done the best way, or is the management team supposed pick the tool that works better for them?
What did we do before the age of tools? Yes, we used Post-it notes!
A simple board with Post-it notes divided in a few columns did the job for a team in one location. It was a very simple approach. The tools should also keep things simple. They should just take it one step further without negatively impacting the progress, the creativity and agility of the team. On the other hand, if you go one step too far with the tools, the team will know if their agility is impacted and if the fun-factor is gone. We all know that if you take the fun-factor and agility out of the team, then the team members are not operating on their own terms any more; the authenticity slowly goes away.

In the case brought by arts and crafts magnate Hobby Lobby against the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), federal judge (and Bush appointee!) Joe Heaton, in denying the preliminary injunction sought by Hobby Lobby, has issued a stunning and forceful rebuke of the arguments offered by secular corporations seeking to deny health-care benefits to their employees. First, Judge Heaton ruled that secular corporations do not have religious rights that are protected under the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment or the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. Second, Judge Heaton ruled that the birth-control benefit does not represent a substantial burden to individuals’ exercise of religion.
Touting itself as a Christian-owned and -operated corporation, Hobby Lobby challenged the birth control benefit, the provision in the Affordability Care Act which requires that all insurance policies offered by employers cover preventive health-care services for women, including contraception, without co-pay. Hobby Lobby was the first non-Catholic business to lodge a complaint about the birth control benefit.
In quibbling with the benefit, Hobby Lobby and its owners David and Barbara Green made the standard argument being made by religious and secular corporations alike: the ACA requires them either to violate their religious beliefs by providing insurance coverage for what they misleadingly call “abortion-inducing drugs” to their female employees, or risk incurring enormous fines for refusing to offer women a full range of healthcare services, including contraception.
As I wrote in September, Hobby Lobby’s complaint is fraught with allegations about how religiously their for-profit corporation is run:
Roe has collapsed in Texas, and that's just the beginning.
Stay up to date with The Fallout, a newsletter from our expert journalists.
For example, Hobby Lobby is closed on Sundays. They close their stores at 8 p.m. so Hobby Lobby employees have time to get home to their families before their kids go to bed at 8:30. The Greens pipe only Christian music throughout their stores. They don’t sell any icky Halloween costumes or racy greeting cards. They have an on-call chaplain. The Greens takes out full-page newspaper ads on Christmas, Easter, and Fourth of July (Fourth of July?) to proclaim the glory of the Lord (no really, what is so religious about Fourth of July?). The Greens believe in paying their 13,240 employees who work in 514 stores across 41 states a living wage (apparently, that’s an exclusively Christian concept). The Greens signed a Giving Pledge which requires them to donate money to various charities and ministries (again, apparently being charitable is exclusively a Christian concept.)
Hobby Lobby’s overwrought claims notwithstanding, the court ruled that Hobby Lobby and the Greens were not exempt from operation of the law.
Citing O’Brien v. United States Department of Health and Human Services (which I discussed here), the court in Hobby Lobby found that the birth control benefit is not a substantial burden on either Hobby Lobby’s rights or the Greens’ rights as individuals to practice their religion as they see fit. Notably, the court found it important that Hobby Lobby employs thousands of people “of all faith and no faith,” and noted that the reproductive rights at issue in the case are of constitutional importance:
Hobby Lobby and Mardel employ over 13,500 people and “welcomeemployees of all faiths or no faith.” Complaint, ¶ 51. Many of those employees are likelyto have different religious views. Moreover, the employees’ rights being affected are of constitutional dimension — related to matters of procreation, marriage contraception, and abortion…. In sum, while the meaning and reach of the term “substantial burden” in this context is considerably less than crystal clear, it appears to impose a requirement that the burden on religious exercise be more direct and personal than has been shown here as to the Greens and their management of nationwide general business corporations.
The arguments being made by organizations like Hobby Lobby about the purported burden involved in providing access to contraception in health insurance plans are far-fetched, and the court in Hobby Lobby seems to agree.
Nothing about the birth control benefit requires any employer or employee to commit any sin. Rather, the birth control benefit leaves the commission of the purported sin up to the would-be sinner. Just as an employee could use his or her salary to commit some sin, be it adultery, gambling, or murder, a woman might decide to “commit sin” by using contraception (a characterization with which, for the record, we clearly do not agree), or she might not. That choice has absolutely nothing to do with the employer. And given that Hobby Lobby employs women who may not adhere to the same religious tenets upon which Hobby Lobby claims to have been founded, a woman who chooses to use contraception may not

Numbers outpace even pre-recession numbers; more than $12 billion impact on economy
Today, citing information from U.S. Travel, Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Don Welsh, President and CEO of Choose Chicago, announced that Chicago’s record 2012 visitation resulted in records in several key areas. Travel expenditures in Chicago continued to surge in 2012 to a record $12.76 billion. Total tax revenue from domestic and overseas visitor spending increased by 11 percent in 2012 setting a record at $805.6 million. Employment in Chicago’s leisure and hospitality sector exceeded the 2007 pre-recession peak, and all jobs lost during the recession have been fully recovered. Since 2010, Chicago has benefitted from a 6.4% increase in tourism-related employment, adding 8,000 tourism related jobs.
“The City of Chicago continues to be a travel destination for people around the world,” Mayor Rahm Emanuel said. “The numbers show that our efforts to attract visitors to our city are proving successful and have had a large and positive impact on our economy and jobs.”
Job growth is one of the key areas of advancement. Chicago has seen growth across the board and now has more than 132,000 tourism-related jobs. These jobs support a total payroll of $4.44 billion – also a record.
Another area of strong growth for Chicago is direct spending related to tourism. Total spending surged to a record $12.76 billion in 2012, a 6.7 percent gain over 2011. Domestic expenditures grew to a record setting $11.03 billion, a 5.6 percent gain. International expenditures, reflecting a record level of overseas visitors to Chicago also reached a record level, at $1.72 billion a gain of 14.5 percent, and more than half a billion dollars ahead of where things were during the recession.
Finally, total tax revenue has grown more than 37 percent since the recessionary challenges of 2009. The tourism industry in 2012 generated a stunning $805.6 million in taxes. In 2012, as has been previously reported, the growth in hotel occupancy in Chicago led to more than $100 million in Chicago hotel taxes for the first time ever, besting the previous record set in 2008 by $23 million.
“The growth in Chicago’s hotels and the new jobs the leisure and hospitality sector have created are very promising,” said Don Welsh. “I encourage the City of Chicago to continue to make concerted efforts to cultivate tourism to our city. I look forward to continuing to work with Mayor Emanuel as we make further progress.”
In 2012, Chicago welcomed 46.37 million visitors, and moved up to 9th in International tourism (from its previous position in tenth place). Mayor Emanuel set a goal upon taking office of 50 million visitors annually by 2020, and the city has closed two-thirds of that gap already. Additionally, he has set a goal of being among the top 5 US cities for international visitation by 2020.

Please hear me out on this: Life is not all about hype and happiness. Meaning bubbles to the psyche from moments of sadness as often as glee. Relationships among coworkers, friends, and family mean you’ll eventually lose those you love. And as part of working through your grief, you’ll attend a funeral or memorial to celebrate their life.
Certainly, “paying your respects” honors the deceased and comforts their family members. But consider how your presence at such services benefits you by causing you to …
The same daily physical routine can lull you into boredom and stagnation, where you fail to grow mentally, relationally, emotionally, or spiritually. Eat a little, work a little, sleep a little, go again. Eat a little, work a little, sleep a little, go again. Eat a little, work a little, sleep a little, go again.
A funeral doesn’t happen every day. It changes the physical pattern for at least an hour. Enough time to jar the thought pattern onto a deeper track.
Inevitably at funerals and memorial services, officiating leaders call attention to the fact that life is short—particularly if the deceased was a young person and most especially if the death was caused by an sudden accident or a short illness.
Few people contemplate dying young. But when forced to face the inevitable prospect, we tend to look back on all our dreams and plans and re-sort our priorities in light of current realities. Maybe we add a few new dreams and push a few old dreams to the bottom of the pile.
Re-evaluation and urgency are always good things when talking about dreams. As many have observed, “A goal without a plan is just a dream.” For some, goal-to-deadline-and-plan conversion may be in order.
At the smallest funeral I attended, fewer than a dozen people showed up––and five of us were family members. I’ve also attended a couple of funerals where there were more than a thousand people. Then there have been many funerals where attendance fell somewhere in between—in the hundreds. But in each case, I was struck by the importance and impact of relationships in the life of the deceased.
Some lived in ways that left them almost in isolation. Others derived great joy from their friendships and had led a life of lasting influence.
As an observer, watching the crowds come in—or seeing the empty seats––can’t help but cause you to reflect on your own relationships. How deep are they? How lasting are they? How much joy do they bring you? What are you doing to strengthen them?
At funerals, these questions typically come to mind: Am I using my God-given skills, gifts, and talents to leave this world a better place than when I entered it? What kind of impact will my life have? What will colleagues, friends, and family remember when I’m gone? After this life, what?
My Christian faith provides meaningful answers to these biggest questions of all. I trust your own faith, philosophy, or belief system provides answers and gives you comfort.
If not, make your way to a few more funerals for further reflection. Despite sadness, out of deep reflection comes life’s most satisfying peace and joy.
Improve your communication skills and form the bonds that last a lifetime in Communicate with Confidence: How to Say it Right the First Time and Every Time. Find it at your preferred book seller.

How to handle clients missing appointments
Published 8 February 2023. Written by Chris Worfolk.
When a client does not turn up for an appointment, it can be a worry for the therapist, a sign of therapeutic rupture or a simple misunderstanding. In this article, we'll explore some of the things to think about when a client does not attend.
One of the first things we will do when a client does not show up is to try and guess why. As therapists, this is an important step as we will discuss later. But we also need to ensure we don't fall into negative thinking traps.
For example, if a client with anxiety says "my friend did not show up to our meeting because they do not like me" we might challenge that thinking and examine the negative interpretation of ambiguous stimuli: there could be plenty of reasons why they did not show up.
Similarly, there are lots of reasons why our client may have missed their session that is nothing to do with us. Maybe they forgot, had a childcare emergency, were stuck in traffic or had an emergency at work.
It could be that it is something to do with us, but when we examine these ideas we should do so lightly and with an open and accepting mind, rather than judging ourselves or defaulting to the worst-case scenario.
Are we at fault?
There are multiple therapeutic reasons why a client may not show up. Maybe the work is moving too fast for them and feels overwhelming. Maybe something we said upset them last session. Maybe other things are going on in the client's life and that has lowered their tolerance to below the point that can attend therapy this week.
In therapy, we wouldn't talk about "blaming" the client but we would look at the causes of problems. Here Too, we want to take an objective view of what may have gone wrong without blaming ourselves.
Addressing the issue
The first step is to contact the client, inform them of the missed appointment and agree on the date and time of their next one. Further exploration can take place then.
One of the most powerful tools we have is to address the issue with the client in their next session. Resistance is not always conscious in the client so asking direct questions might not yield clear results. But we can explore the issue.
Take a look at this dialogue:
Therapist: "I noticed you didn't show up for our last session. How did you feel that morning?"
Client: "I'm sorry, I just forgot."
Therapist: "That's okay, but I think it would be useful for us to explore that. How did you feel that morning?"
Client: "I'm not sure."
Therapist: "Sometimes clients feel tired, or frustrated, or like therapy seems extra hard work. Did any of those feelings come up for you?"
Client: "Yes, I guess I felt extra tired that morning."
Therapist: "Okay. Did you experience that tiredness at any point in our previous session?"
Here, the therapist begins exploring how the client was feeling. We could expand this to how the client is feeling about therapy in general, their feelings towards us and anything that may indicate a therapeutic rupture.
Is it a pattern?
Another useful indicator is a client's previous behaviour. If the client never misses a session, it will be more of a surprise than a habitual avoider. If a client has missed previous sessions, is there a pattern between the work you were doing and the times they missed sessions before?
Another question to ask yourself is "how do I feel about the client not showing up?" Are you usually excited and disappointed today? Or maybe you are feeling the opposite: the client is normally one of your least favourites and you are relieved they did not come. Noticing our reaction can give us insight into the therapeutic relationship.
Do you charge the client for the missed session? Do you count it as one of their sessions or discharge them in public health? That will depend on the policies of your organisation or private practice.
These situations are why it is important to have clear policies set out in the contracting stage of therapy. If everyone has agreed on the rules up front, there is little arguing.
When a client fails to turn up for an appointment, it could be a genuine mistake or it could be telling us something about the therapeutic relationship and how they are feeling about therapy.
Responding to missed appointments involves practical matters (rescheduling, enforcing cancellation policies) and carefully exploring the issue non-judgementally, both with ourselves and with the client to see what insights we can gain from the experience.

A Cloudy Sky
Learn about cloud types by observing the sky! In this weather activity, kids record when they see 10 main cloud types and note the weather conditions. They will learn facts about clouds, become familiar with cloud names, and match cloud types to their descriptions. The images in the cloud chart will help kids identify each cloud type.

The Modern Cedar Cabin
The cabin was designed and built by the owner Paul Gent, he also hand crafted all the fitted elements in the cabin himself, from the kitchen units and cupboards to the staircase, all joinery, floating bed and bathroom unit to create a continuity of style and tone.
All cabins are designed with environmental considerations in mind, they have a continuous insulation layer to avoid thermal bridging are wrapped in a breathable membrane to virtually eliminate draughts and to allow for the structure to breathe. Made using cedar from a local Welsh sawmill and using polystyrene instead of polyisocyanurate board (Kingspan, Celotex) due to its considerably lower environmental impact. All paints, wood stains and varnishes are natural and breathable. It’s heated using infrared panels which are 40% more efficient than other forms of electrical heating.

This crate is a part of discrete event simulation framework DVCompute Simulator (registration
number 2021660590 of Rospatent). The
dvcompute_dist crate is destined for optimistic
distributed simulation based on the Time Warp method, but the same code base is shared by
dvcompute_branch crate destined for nested simulation.
There are the following main crates:
dvcompute (for sequential simulation),
dvcompute_dist (for optimistic distributed simulation - from multicore computers till supercomputers),
dvcompute_cons (for conservative distributed simulation - from multicore computers till supercomputers) and
dvcompute_branch (for nested simulation - theory of games, estimation of the optimal strategy). All four crates are
very close. They are based on the same method.
In the case of optimistic distributed simulation, it is expected that the
dvcompute_core_dist dynamic (shared) libraries can be found by the operating system, when
launching the executable file of the simulation model. You can build the
library yourself from https://github.com/dsorokin/dvcompute/tree/main/src/dvcompute_mpi_cdylib sources
that require CMake, C++ compiler and some MPI implementation that you are going to use.
Because of specific MPI implementation, this library cannot be unified. But
dvcompute_core_dist dynamic library must satisfy the predefined binary
interface (it must implement the event queue). You can download the trial version that
implements this interface from the author’s website https://aivikasoft.com.
This prebuilt version is a part of “Redistributable Code” portions of DVCompute Simulator.
You can find examples in the author’s repository: https://github.com/dsorokin/dvcompute.
The simulation method is described in the author’s article: Sorokin David. DVCompute Simulator for discrete event simulation. Prikladnaya informatika=Journal of Applied Informatics, 2021, vol.16, no.3, pp.93-108 (in Russian). DOI: 10.37791/2687-0649-2021-16-3-93-108
Also you can use the author’s tool DVCompute Modeler for fast prototyping of your future models. The tool is available on the https://aivikasoft.com web site. It allows creating discrete event models and queue network models with help of the Python programming language. The tool is available for Windows, Linux and macOS from the author’s web site. Then such models can be directly translated into Rust with help of DVCompute Simulator.

Sony has been awarded two EISA (European Imaging and Sound Association) awards for its cameras this year.
scooped 'European Advanced Camera of the Year'. EISA Judges said: "Sony’s flagship camera, the Alpha SLT-A99, provides the demanding photographer with excellent image quality and a host of innovative features through its use of a full frame sensor and its SLT electronic viewfinder system. The camera’s Exmor CMOS sensor features 24.3 million pixels which, via the BIONZ image processor, can output 14-bit raw files at a rate of six frames per second, while the camera’s unique dual phase detection AF system is designed to keep up with fast moving subjects."
'European Compact Camera of the Year' was won by the DSC-HX50
. EISA judges commented: "The HX50 is the world's smallest compact camera with a 30x zoom lens - stretching the limits of the compact zoom segment even more. Equipped with a Sony G-class lens, the DSC-HX50 offers a great balance of worry-free point-and-shoot photography and high-level manual control and customisation."

We know almost nothing of eitherJanko Domsic’s life before his arrival to France in the 1930s or of the circumstances that led him there. He would have received basic education, spent some time in prison, lived in Toul (?) and worked on the construction of a railroad. In Paris, he lived in poverty, occupying a part of a corridor in a modest building near the Place de Clichy. In conflict with the Social Security about his pension, he also blamed some people for having stolen his writings. His drawings, in colored pencil, ballpoint pen and felt-tip pen, combine geometric figures and texts, mixing French, Croatian and German, which list bits and pieces of his life, excerpts of Nazi songs and take God as the central topic; his lexicon refers to mystical ideas, the moral code of Freemasonry, but also to the economy. Strong graphic symbols – the pentagram, swastika, the symbol of the dollar, the sickle and hammer, the Orthodox cross, and rays coming from heaven – structure a production that is voluntarily encoded by the author, and which emanates a sense of power as enigmatic as it is fascinating.

An unprotected water pipe mainly suffers frequent damages due to water hammer surges developed inside the pipe lines. This project develops the effect of water hammer in a water delivery pipe theoretically and developed a novel method to combat the damage. The project is consisting of a smart electronic pressure transmitter, PLC based SCADA system and valve automation.

There used to be a time when, after a long day at work, you could get in your car and drive home, completely disconnected from the rest of the world. Your car was an isolated island where the only people that could reach you were any passengers riding along. Then came the cell phone and everything changed. Now advanced connectivity is being increasingly built into the car. Within the next decade, consumers are unlikely to be able to buy a new vehicle without multiple connections to the world constantly transmitting data to other vehicles and to the Cloud.
It has now been two decades since General Motors introduced OnStar as the first cellular telematics system, and in the next few months, Cadillac will launch the first car to support vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications into the US market. As we move towards a world where transportation becomes a service through on-demand autonomous mobility, connectivity will be as key an enabling technology as the suite of sensors packed into every vehicle.
At the most fundamental level, automated driving will rely on lidar, cameras, radar, and inertial sensors to provide situational awareness. Unfortunately, however, every one of these sensor types is limited to a line-of-sight view within a few hundred feet. Connectivity adds a whole new layer of information to augment what the sensors can see while enabling more proactive information for a much more robust management of what the vehicle is going to do.
In the realm of vehicle connectivity, there are two primary layers: telematics to enable rich data sharing that is less time-dependent, and real-time vehicle-to-external (V2X) communications.
As cellular connectivity has increased in reliability and speed over the past two decades, so the range of what is possible through telematics has also greatly expanded. Early systems provided remote locking/unlocking of the car and automatic calls to first responders in the event of a crash. Now these systems provide a broad array of services for vehicle owners, including remotely starting their vehicles, monitoring the behaviour of young drivers, and managing EV charging.
With the launch of the Model S in 2012, Tesla significantly raised the bar for telematics system capabilities. Tesla built in an always-on 3G cellular connection in every one of its cars, making it the first vehicle manufacturer to provide over-the-air (OTA) software updates for safety-critical systems. This allows Tesla to provide new and enhanced functionality to customers without bringing the cars into a service facility, much as smartphone manufacturers do with mobile devices.
Perhaps even more importantly, however, Tesla is able to push out software updates to fix bugs and security vulnerabilities without having to conduct a vehicle safety recall. In recent years, recalls have become a major issue for vehicle manufacturers, as they have to rely on customers to actually take their vehicles to a dealer to have software updated.
OTA updates will not be able to address hardware flaws like the one affecting tens of millions of vehicles with Takata airbags. However, in mid-2016, Tesla was able to distribute software updates to its AutoPilot driver-assist system following a fatal crash. Tesla has also used its system to distribute updates for security flaws before any malicious actors exploit them.
As vehicles become both more automated and more connected in the coming decade, the need for telematics and the OTA update capability will become even greater. Navigant Research anticipates sales of nearly 27 million vehicles with high level automation (Level 3 and above) annually by 2025. Every one of these vehicles will need remote update capability to ensure that they remain as secure as possible while delivering optimal performance as this new technology continues to evolve.
Consumers are unlikely to be able to buy a new vehicle without multiple connections to the world constantly transmitting data to other vehicles and to the Cloud
Even before these automated vehicles arrive, manufacturers can leverage the projected 58 million factory-installed telematics systems that will be sold annually by 2025 for new revenue streams. Companies like Ford are already deploying apps that enable drivers to find, reserve, and pay for parking; set up service appointments; and receive location-based discounts on goods and services.
By leveraging the data available from vehicles to connect drivers to businesses, manufacturers can get a cut of the transaction for the leads they generate. Navigant Research estimates that vehicle maintenance and service lead generation could produce more than US$2.6bn in new revenue by 2025, while parking could amount to nearly US$2.9bn.
Usage-based insurance plans have become increasingly common, but they usually require the driver to install a connectivity adapter into the vehicle’s on-board-diagnostics port (OBD-II) to collect data. Telemetry data collected by vehicle manufacturers could be shared directly with insurers to provide more granular information in return for discounts on the premiums paid by customers.
The other half of the connected vehicle platform is V2X communications. While this technology has been in development for more than a decade, it is only now starting to be deployed in production. V2X is designed

Last spring, Warren Wilson College conducted two surveys focusing on the College’s work program. Supervisors were asked to complete the survey on March 28, and crew members were asked to complete the survey on April 11.
The data compiled by Don Ray (Educational Assessment), which he displayed at a recent supervisor’s retreat, showed 79 out of 126 supervisors reporting back, and 324 out of 785 student crew members reporting back.
The survey included questions about crew size, tenure, reassignment of work hours and compensation, training, and safety, among other topics.
Questions were asked to either crew supervisors, students, or both. Along with the prescribed answers, supervisors and students were often allowed to elaborate on their answers.
The first question asked was one regarding the effectiveness of crew size. A majority of supervisors considered crew size adequate, though a majority felt that crew tended to be understaffed during the summer time.
Students were asked about their time spent on their crew, and the rate of turnover showed students averaging one crew change annually.
The fifteen hour work week is standard throughout all crews on campus, but the survey showed that a slight majority would appreciate more work hours. A distinct majority requested more hours in crews with eight or more members. Overwhelmingly, the supervisors were not in favor of decreasing work hours on campus.
Symbolizing the egalitarian spirit of the work program, students responded that they would like the 15 hour week to remain the standard distribution of time. Further solidifying this sense of equality, 27% of students elaborated on their answers and said that the issue of keeping the 15 hour work week for all crew is an issue of fairness.
A resounding majority of 60% thought that a pay scale should not be activated, regardless of financial need, academic status, or skill level.
Regarding both crew hours and crew member compensation, students favored the work program policies already in effect.
Both supervisors and students were asked if the size of the crew altered the effectiveness of training. Larger crews, often requiring specialized training, have the luxury of training sessions offered by external groups, ultimately taking strain off of the individual supervisors.
Overwhelmingly, the students believed that they were afforded the same learning opportunities as their fellow crew members, and the supervisors thought that their crews were adequately equipped to perform the tasks that were asked of them.
Though there was no majority identifying that safety was compromised, the percentage of those that felt safety was compromised increased as the crew sizes increased. This seems to be rather obvious as those larger crews typically operate tools and equipment that pose a potential threat to safety. Students responded that, when they identified a safety concern, they adequately coped with the situation.
Regarding the treatment of crews on campus, the supervisors were asked where they found the most support from on campus. A dramatic 90% of those responding to the survey thought that the Work Program Office offered powerful support to the crews on campus. Interestingly, when asked about the reception of support from the campus administration, those that responded thought that they offered more moderate support, and around 50% of those responding thought that the faculty offered fair to poor support of the work crews.
Highlighting the work program as a key component to Warren Wilson, around 70-90% of Supervisors and Students found the work program to be educational, effective, and integral to campus life. Only 2-20% of those responding had critical views of the work program, with a mere 4% of students believing the work program is no longer necessary.
Recognition of exceptional crew members had 80-85% majority approval from both supervisors and students, with most of those individuals responding suggesting priority for break contracts as the primary form of recognition for those crew members who stand out. Along with contract priority, a 30% minority of students suggested higher wages, but the supervisors had a larger percentage of 55% requesting greater compensation as praise for exceptional qualities.
Resounding majorities from both the students and supervisors felt that the work program benefited students financially, educationally and vocationally. Also, a majority of students and supervisors felt that the work program fosters the importance of serving others, respect for the dignity of labor, and a positive work ethic.

Linking physical exercise with enhanced mental wellness results is absolutely not a new principle, with past individual reports on the lookout at the consequences of physical activity on schizophrenia, stress and anxiety and melancholy, as nicely as analysis of the period and type of exercise sessions.
But scientists have now undertaken the most detailed meta-evaluation of its variety, hunting at almost 100 reports showcasing all modes of bodily activity on depression, anxiousness and psychological distress throughout broad grownup populations to conclude that it’s as successful, if not a lot more so, than psychotherapy or pharmacotherapy as an first therapy.
“Physical activity is regarded to support improve mental health and fitness,” explained Ben Singh of the University of South Australia, co-creator of the research. “Yet despite the proof, it has not been broadly adopted as a first-preference remedy. Our evaluate reveals that actual physical action interventions can drastically reduce the signs of despair and panic in all clinical populations, with some groups displaying even better symptoms of enhancement.”
A person in eight people throughout the globe live with some form of psychological problem, in accordance to the World Wellbeing Organization, and most victims really don’t have access to adequate professional medical care for their situations.
The facts was analyzed from 97 opinions featuring 1,039 trials and 128,119 participants. The scientific studies bundled 27 on most cancers people, 11 on adults with depression, five each individual on more mature grown ups and dementia, 4 each and every on postnatal or postpartum women, long-term obstructive pulmonary illness, and several sclerosis, 3 each on stress and anxiety conditions, cardiovascular disorder, older people with a variety of chronic disorders, and nutritious grown ups. The remaining 15 covered a array of psychological and bodily well being fears these kinds of as publish-traumatic tension problem, arthritis and rheumatic ailment, neurological problems, schizophrenia and HIV/AIDS.
The team found that diverse modes of physical exercise presented different physiological and psychosocial added benefits, and it backed up former assumed that resistance schooling experienced the most significant influence on persons with despair, and thoughts-body-focused exercise routines such as yoga, and greater intensity exercise, have been the greatest performers for individuals with stress.
The knowledge also confirmed prior unique trials that showed average- and superior-intensity activity to have the most effective on relieving both despair and anxiety indications. This is partly thanks to neuromolecular mechanisms at engage in, this sort of as increased availability of serotonin and norepinephrine. As this kind of, very low-intensity actual physical activity may possibly not provide the exact added benefits for stimulating neurological alterations in people with depression and anxiousness.
Apparently, the knowledge concluded that the biggest benefits surface to appear from shorter interventions, with smaller weekly durations of actual physical activity staying a lot more effective than lengthier. Scientists advise it could be that shorter bouts are easier to comply with, specially when individuals are currently confronted with mental and actual physical overall health problems.
“Higher depth physical exercise experienced bigger improvements for depression and nervousness, whilst for a longer time durations experienced smaller sized consequences when when compared to brief and mid-length bursts,” stated Singh, including that there was a benefit from all forms of activity analyzed in the research, but tailoring to the certain mental wellbeing problem was crucial. “Importantly, the investigation exhibits that it doesn’t take much for physical exercise to make a favourable alter to your mental well being.”
The scientific tests accessed were constrained to peer-reviewed perform throughout the databases CINAHL, Cochrane, Embase, MEDLINE, Emcare, ProQuest Overall health and Medical Finish, ProQuest Nursing and Allied Health Supply, PsycINFO, Scopus, Sport Discus, EBSCOhost and World wide web of Science.
Though the analyze does not pit actual physical exercise as an alternative to therapies such as counseling and clinical cure, it highlights the want for bodily exercise – personalized to the abilities of the client – to be handled as an vital side of the total psychological-overall health strategy.
With access to psychological health expert services a prohibitive element in therapy around the world, the scientists believe that more scientific tests into bodily activity as a frontline therapy has the probable to advantage several of the believed 970 million men and women living with psychological disorders.
The umbrella research was printed in the British Journal of Sports Drugs.

Energean Oil & Gas, the international oil and gas exploration and production company focused on the Mediterranean and North Africa, has launched a high-resolution Airborne Gravity Gradiometry (AGG) survey which will include acquiring aeromagnetic data and high-resolution digital elevation mapping as part of the exploration work program over the Ioannina onshore block, northwest Greece, the company announced today.
The purpose of this data is to identify Areas of Interest (AOI) for hydrocarbon exploration ahead of a 2D seismic acquisition program planned for next year. The survey objectives are to define the depth of the geological basin, locate and delineate targets for exploration drilling, as well as to locate areas for future seismic surveys.
For the Airborne Gravity Gradiometry acquisition, Energean has appointed CGG (NYSE; CGG, Euronext; CGG:PA), a well–known fully integrated geoscience company providing leading geological and geophysical techniques to the global oil and gas industry.
Commenting on AGG survey launch, Mathios Rigas, Chairman and CEO of Energean Oil & Gas, stated: “Despite the turmoil faced by the Greek economy and capital controls imposed on the banking system, Energean continues to invest in hydrocarbon exploration and exploitation in Greece and in the wider region of the Eastern Mediterranean and North Africa, where it holds a total of six licenses. Onshore Western Greece is part of a wider petroleum system and the area may also be considered to be the southern-most extension of the greater Periadriatic basin, proven for oil and gas production in Albania, Italy and Croatia. Over 10 billion barrels of oil and 30 trillion cubic feet of gas have been discovered throughout this area, which still remains substantially underexplored with tremendous hydrocarbon potential”.
It is the first time an AGG survey is being conducted in Greece. It will cover a total flight distance of 10,000 kilometers.

On November 19, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Commissioners approved the Staff’s proposed rulemaking plan for expanding physical security licensing options for advanced reactors.
The August 2018 enactment of the Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act (FIRRMA) came after more than two years of debate over the appropriate scope of jurisdiction for the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS).
The US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit on September 27 affirmed a decision of the US District Court for the Southern District of New York dismissing a complaint seeking to invalidate New York’s Zero Emissions Credit (ZEC) program.
In a Federal Register Notice issued September 24, the NRC has implemented an inflation adjustment to the amount of Price-Anderson financial protection that is available effective November 1, 2018.
The US Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit on September 13 affirmed a decision of the US District Court for the Northern District of Illinois that dismissed two complaints seeking to invalidate the Illinois Zero Emission Credits (ZEC) program.
A bipartisan group of nine US senators introduced the Nuclear Energy Leadership Act (NELA), S. 3422, on September 6. According to a press release announcing the bill’s introduction, NELA will “boost nuclear energy innovation and ensure advanced reactors can provide clean, safe, affordable and reliable power to meet national and global energy needs.”
The NRC’s regulations on emergency planning at nuclear power plants are codified at 10 CFR 50.47. Among other requirements, those regulations generally provide for a PEP EPZ and an ingestion exposure pathway EPZ.
The NRC Staff sent a report on August 1 to the Commissioners that evaluates four options for revising regulations and guidance on physical security for advanced reactors.
In a June 26 letter, a broad coalition of 77 former government officials, lawmakers, and industry leaders urged US Department of Energy (DOE) Secretary Rick Perry to take “concrete steps” to prevent the premature shutdown of any additional nuclear power plants.
The commissioners from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) held a joint meeting to discuss grid reliability and cybersecurity, including issues such as nuclear new build that factor into power availability.

For Immediate Release
Chicago, IL – December 30, 2021 – Zacks.com announces the list of stocks featured in the Analyst Blog. Every day the Zacks Equity Research analysts discuss the latest news and events impacting stocks and the financial markets. Stocks recently featured in the blog include: Albemarle Corp. ALB, Lithium Americas Corp. LAC, Livent Corp. LTHM and Piedmont Lithium Ltd. PLL.
Here are highlights from Wednesday’s Analyst Blog:
4 Lithium Stocks to Power Your Portfolio in 2022
Electric vehicles (EVs) are fast changing the dynamics of the auto industry. More and more cars are getting electrified, and the prospects of this red-hot industry are only going to blossom in the coming years amid the growing climate concerns. The Boston Consulting Group projects EV sales to rise from 12% of the global market in 2020 to 47% in 2025. Thanks to the accelerated adoption of green vehicles, one metal that seems to be grabbing the most attention is lithium.
With batteries being the cornerstone of EV performance and lithium being the most important metal in EV batteries, demand for lithium is bound to skyrocket. Importantly, the lithium space is presently gaining the maximum attention from EV batteries.
So, if you want to play the e-mobility revolution and are getting confused regarding which EV makers to bet on, consider electrifying your portfolio with key lithium stocks like Albemarle Corp, Lithium Americas, Livent Corp and Piedmont Lithium. Before we discuss the stocks, let’s glance through the shining prospects of the lithium market.
Per Fortune Business Insights, the global lithium market size is projected to reach $8.24 billion by 2027-end, representing a CAGR of 9.2% over the 2020-2027 time frame. Credit Suisse expects lithium demand in 2025 to triple from 2020 levels.
The rising EV penetration will have a trickle-down effect in the supply chain, making lithium more attractive than ever. According to Bacanora Lithium PLC projections, world demand for lithium is anticipated to increase from 305,000 tons lithium carbonate equivalent ("LCE") in 2021 to 675,000 tons LCE in 2023, at a CAGR of 30% through 2020-2023. The global battery demand is forecast to rise 14-fold by the decade-end, with lithium demand estimated at 1.8 million tons by 2030, per Statista.
Given the bright outlook for lithium demand, we highlight why the below-mentioned lithium stocks should be added to your watchlist.
Albemarle: Charlotte-based Albemarle is one of the leading producers of lithium, with battery-grade lithium-producing plants in Europe, Australia, China, Chile and the United States. While Albemarle is not a lithium pure play, it boasts solid lithium assets and is benefiting from higher volumes in the lithium business. The company’s lithium unit accounts for the highest percentage of overall revenues and profits. Albemarle, thus, remains laser-focused on the expansion of its lithium footprint.
In September, Albemarle acquired China’s lithium company Guangxi Tianyuan New Energy Materials. The acquisition assets include a lithium conversion plant, which is expected to start production in 2022, with an annual conversion capacity of 25,000 metric tons of LCE into battery-grade lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide. Albemarle is investing in high-return projects to drive productivity and is well placed to gain from long-term growth of the battery-grade lithium market.
ALB had liquidity of around $2 billion at the end of third-quarter 2021. The company is also a dividend aristocrat, having raised its annual dividend for 27 straight years.

HOUSTON, June 23 -- A successful appraisal well near the Jangkrik gas discovery in the Kutei basin off East Kalimantan, Indonesia, has sharply increased the estimate of the field’s recoverable resource.
Eni SPA said the Jankrik-2 appraisal well, drilled to 2,449 m in 425 m of water on the Muara Bakau PSC 70 km off the coast, cut more than 80 m of net pay in excellent quality reservoir sands of Pliocene age.
During the Jangkrik-2 production test, the well produced high quality gas at a tubing-constrained rate of 17.5 MMscfd.
Eni, through its Indonesian subsidiary, is the operator of Muara Bakau PSC with a 55% interest. GDF Suez holds 45% interest.
The joint venture plan is to proceed quickly with assessment of the technical and commercial viability of a fast-track development. Jangkrik gas will be will be routed to the Bontang LNG plant.
Eni, among its other projects in Indonesia, was awarded an interest in Sanga Sanga CBM, a new coalbed methane PSC to be operated 50-50 with BP PLC as Vico CBM Ltd., which would supply CBM for shipment as LNG (OGJ Online, Dec. 2, 2009).

Epoxy countertops are durable and can be applied over any type of surface. They’re also easy to clean, and since epoxy doesn’t absorb moisture, your countertop won’t get ruined by leaks.
The only downside is that they’re expensive to install and require professional installation. If you’d like to save money by doing it yourself, read on!
This article will tell you everything you need to know about making your own epoxy countertops at home.
Do it yourself epoxy countertops?
Epoxy countertops are durable, long-lasting, and easy to clean. They can be installed over existing countertops to give your kitchen or bathroom a new look.
Epoxy is also easy to repair, so if you have an accident with the epoxy, it’s not hard to fix it up!
Epoxy is also easy to install — this makes them very popular for DIY projects! If you want your own personalized look, you can make custom designs with epoxy colors and patterns.
Table of Contents
- Do it yourself epoxy countertops?
- What do I need to epoxy my countertop?
- How much does it cost to make an epoxy countertop?
- What kind of epoxy do you use on countertops?
- How long do epoxy countertops last?
- How thick should epoxy countertop be?
- Can you cut on epoxy countertops?
- How do you prime a countertop before epoxy?
What do I need to epoxy my countertop?
You will need:
- Epoxy resin
- Mixing cups and sticks
- Scraper (wooden paint stirrer works well)
- Gloves (disposable or non-latex)
- Disposable paint brush for mixing resin and hardener, as well as for applying epoxy to the countertop. You can also use a regular paint brush if you don’t have one handy and are okay with it getting ruined while working on the project.
- Masking paper or tape if desired; ideally, you’ll want to mask off your counters so that they won’t get epoxied in addition to what you’re actually working on.
- Safety glasses should always be worn when doing any chemical work!
How much does it cost to make an epoxy countertop?
You can expect to pay anywhere from $200 to $800 for an epoxy countertop. This number will vary based on your location, the size of your project, and whether or not you want special finishes.
If you’re looking at granite countertops, you can expect to pay between $500 and $3,000 depending on your location and the type of stone that’s best for your kitchen space.
If you’re interested in regular concrete countertops instead—which aren’t as expensive as either granite or epoxy—the cost will be closer to $250 per square foot plus installation expenses if needed.
In other words: if you want something cheaper than an epoxy solution but still want a durable surface that looks great too (and won’t break), then concrete might be worth considering!
What kind of epoxy do you use on countertops?
Epoxy is a two-part resin that is mixed and applied to the surface. It’s easy to apply, durable and waterproof, and it’s easy to maintain.
Epoxy comes in different colors, so you can choose your desired color when ordering epoxy at a hardware store or home improvement store.
If you want a clear countertop that is resistant to heat and cold damage, it is recommended that you use the right kind of epoxy for your countertops.
There are many different kinds of epoxies on the market today: solid resin (which does not contain any solvents), solvent-based products (which contain some type of solvent), two-part resins (these work well with concrete surfaces), etc., all depending on what type of material/surface one wants to coat with them!
How long do epoxy countertops last?
Epoxy countertops are durable, but not indestructible. They can last for decades if properly cared for. You should seal them every few years to keep them looking fresh and new, depending on the quality of your initial sealant application.
If you have an epoxy countertop that has been damaged and needs some repairs then you will need a professional to do this work.
The cost may be more than what it would cost to install a new epoxy countertop so it’s essential that you know what type of work needs to be done before calling a contractor.
How thick should epoxy countertop be?
The thickness of the epoxy countertop depends on the size of your countertop. Usually, the larger is the countertop, the thicker it should be.
However, there are other factors to consider before deciding which thickness you want for your kitchen project.

“Grief unspoken turns our pain into poison.” ~Unknown
Mother’s Day represents, for me, two opposite aspects of life, the joy of having and the despair of loss. It is joy for having children of my own to love unconditionally and despair for having lost my mother due to the chaos of mental illness, addiction, and childhood sexual abuse. Her physical body is still here, but our relationship died when she handed me over to my abuser at the age of six. After becoming a mother and feeling the sharp sting of losing a baby due to miscarriage at eleven weeks, I now value what the term ‘mother’ means in my life. I lost my innocence, my security, and my dreams the day I lost my mother. These losses somehow meant that I had failed and part of me could only blame the ‘powers that be’ for being so cruel to me. Little did I know that those losses would allow me to become fully aware of how important compassion and empathy are in lieu of judgment and anger.
What my heart experiences leading up to, and on, Mother’s Day is very important in how I continue on my motherly journey year after year. Sometimes this day passes with no fuss and sometimes it scratches and gnaws at the core of my soul. I now realize that I must be gentle on myself and pay close attention to where my mind wanders during a time when many celebrate without having known the grief that lies behind the shattered heart of a mother and/or daughter whose relationship is anything but a greeting card scenario.
Then again, many do intimately resonate with my emotions and my words. Many tender, unsuspecting souls have been in the ominous space of motherly chaos and grief. It must be felt to be understood. For all of us who have lost such a fragile connection, I write to validate the complex space in-between the happiness and sadness of our motherless experiences. Yes, it is true that we still laugh and life moves forward, but it is extremely important to validate and honor the part of ourselves that may still carry a deafening grief for what we lost and what we could not control.
It may take years for the pain to lighten its load on our hearts or it may take just a short while until we are reminded of all the things we still have to live for. The pain of loss will subside. I am not sure if it ever fully goes away, but I have noticed that, over time, it seems to lessen it’s choke-hold on my every thought. And for this, I am most grateful.
This is who I have become in the space between yesterday and today. I vow to hold space for the things that I have lost in my life and to validate all the things I have gained as a result of those losses. In choosing to become the authentic voice of my lived experience, it is my job to speak openly of my pain so that it transforms into something that has far more value than grief. I am not stuck on it, I am accepting it’s reality and it’s presence in my life. Being motherless is painful, and at the same time being a mother is a a huge responsibility; one that I aim to master for an entire lifetime.
Lesson Learned as a Mother
‘The most important part of my healing right now is that I fully comprehend that she could not give to me what she did not have to give. And that I, as a conscious loving mother, am who I am because she failed me. In closing all is as it should be.’ ~RLE
“The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain.” ~Kahlil Gibran

New Delhi, May 27: “When technology goes to the masses, possibilities of its use also increase accordingly”, the Prime Minister said today while inaugurating India’s biggest Drone Festival – Bharat Drone Mahotsav 2022.
The Prime Minister recalled that in earlier times, technology and its inventions were considered to be meant for the elite class. Today we are making technology available to the masses first, he said.
Till a few months back, there were a lot of restrictions on drones. We have removed most of the restrictions in a very short time. We are also moving towards creating a strong drone manufacturing ecosystem in India through schemes like PLI.
Addressing the gathering, the Prime Minister conveyed his fascination and interest in the drone sector and said that he was deeply impressed by the drone exhibition and the spirit of the entrepreneurs and innovation in the sector. The Prime Minister also talked about his interaction with farmers and young engineers. He said that the energy and enthusiasm in the drone sector are visible and indicate India’s strength and desire to leapfrog into a leading position. “The sector shows great possibilities of a major sector for employment generation”, he said.
Recalling the new beginning exactly eight years ago, the Prime Minister said, “This was the time eight years ago when we started implementing new mantras of good governance in India. Following the path of minimum government, and maximum governance, we have made ease of living, and ease of doing business a priority. We connected every citizen of the country with the facilities and welfare schemes by moving forward on the path of Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas”.
The Prime Minister informed that today with the help of the Robust UPI framework developed by the country, lakhs of crores of rupees are being transferred directly to the bank account of the poor. Women, farmers, and students are now getting help directly from the government.
The Prime Minister cited PM Swamitva Yojana as an example of how drone technology is becoming the basis of a major revolution. Under this scheme, for the first time, every property in the villages of the country is being digitally mapped and digital property cards are being given to the people. “Promotion of drone technology is another medium of advancing our commitment to good governance and ease of living. In the form of drones, we have got a smart tool that is going to be part and parcel of common people’s lives”, he said.
The Prime Minister highlighted the importance of drone technology in the fields of defence, disaster management, agriculture, tourism, film and entertainment. He said that the use of this technology is bound to increase in the coming days. The Prime Minister also narrated the use of drones in his official decision making through examples of PRAGATI reviews and Kedarnath projects.
The Prime Minister said that drone technology is going to play a major role in empowering farmers and modernize their lives. As villages are witnessing the arrival of roads, electricity, optical fibre and digital technology. Still, agriculture work is being conducted in old ways, leading to hassles, low productivity and wastage. He also talked about continued dependence on the revenue department with regard to activities ranging from land records to flood and drought relief. The drone has emerged as an effective tool to tackle all these issues, he said. The Prime Minister also said that measures taken to help agriculture sectors have ensured that technology is no longer intimidating for the farmers.

The gentlest Shade that walked Elysian Plains
Might sometimes covet dissoluble chains;
Even for the Tenants of the Zone that lies
Beyond the stars, celestial Paradise,
Methinks 'twould heighten joy, to overleap
At will the crystal battlements, and peep
Into some other region, though less fair,
To see how things are made and managed there:
Change for the worse might please, incursion bold
Into the tracts of darkness and of cold;
O'er Limbo lake with aëry flight to steer,
And on the verge of Chaos hang in fear.
Such animation often do I find,
Power in my breast, wings growing in my
Then, when some rock or hill is overpast,
Perchance without one look behind me cast,
Some barrier with which Nature, from the birth
Of things, has fenced this fairest spot on earth.
O pleasant transit, Grasmere! to resign
Such happy fields, abodes so calm as thine;
Not like an outcast with himself at strife;
The slave of business, time, or care for life,
But moved by choice; or, if constrained in part,
Yet still with Nature's freedom at the heart;
To cull contentment upon wildest shores,
And luxuries extract from bleakest moors;
With prompt embrace all beauty to enfold,
And having rights in all that we behold.
Then why these lingering steps? A bright adieu,
For a brief absence, proves that love is true;
Ne’er can the way be irksome or forlorn
That winds into itself for sweet return.
TO THE SONS OF BURNS, AFTER VISITING THE GRAVE OF THEIR FATHER. “ The Poet's grave is in a corner of the churchyard. We looked at it with
“melancholy and painful reflections, repeating to each other his own
“Is there a man whose judgment clear,' &c.”
Extract from the Journal of my Fellow-traveller.
'Mid crowded Obelisks and Urns
I sought the untimely grave of Burns;
Sons of the Bard, my heart still mourns
With sorrow true;
And more would grieve, but that it turns
Trembling to you!
Through twilight shades of good and ill
Ye now are panting up life's hill,
And more than common strength and skill
Must ye display,
would give the better will
Its lawful sway.
Hath Nature strung your nerves to bear
Intemperance with less harm, beware!
But if the Poet's wit ye share,
Like him can speed
The social hour for tenfold care
There will be need.
Even honest Men delight will take
To spare your failings for his sake,
Will flatter you,
and fool and rake
Your steps pursue ;
And of your Father's name will make
A snare for you.
Far from their noisy haunts retire,
And add your voices to the quire
That sanctify the cottage fire
With service meet;
There seek the genius of your Sire,
His spirit greet;
Or where,'mid “ lonely heights and hows,"
He paid to Nature tuneful vows;
Or wiped his honourable brows
Bedewed with toil,
While reapers strove, or busy ploughs
Upturned the soil;
His judgment with benignant ray
Shall guide, his fancy cheer, your way;
But ne'er to a seductive lay:
Let faith be given;
Nor deem that “ light which leads astray,
Is light from Heaven.”
Let no mean hope your souls enslave;
Be independent, generous, brave;
Your Father such example gave,
And such revere;
But be admonished by his grave,
And think, and fear!
Fair Ellen Irwin, when she sate
Upon the Braes of Kirtle,
Was lovely as a Grecian Maid
Adorned with wreaths of myrtle ;
Young Adam Bruce beside her lay,
And there did they beguile the day.
With love and gentle speeches,
Beneath the budding beeches.
