Loves Park IL USA
Larson/Burton offers the Rollette 400, which is designed for continuous take-up of scrap material from any converting process. It will rewind miniature rolls and automatically cut off material and begin a new roll without cores or operator intervention. The full rolls are ejected into a hopper for removal and reclamation. The company says the unit is smaller, quieter, consumes less power, and compacts material more densely than conventional trim removal systems involving blowers, choppers and compactors.

We consider a system
of degenerate parabolic equations modelling a
thin film, consisting of two layers of immiscible Newtonian liquids, on
a solid horizontal substrate.
In addition, the model includes the presence of insoluble surfactants on
both the free liquid-liquid and liquid-air interfaces,
and the presence of both attractive and repulsive van der Waals forces
in terms of the heights of the two layers.
We show that this system formally satisfies a Lyapunov structure,
and a second energy inequality controlling the Laplacian
of the liquid heights.
We introduce a fully practical finite element approximation
of this nonlinear degenerate parabolic system, that satisfies discrete analogues
of these energy inequalities. Finally, we prove convergence of this approximation,
and hence existence of a solution
to this nonlinear degenerate parabolic system.

There was a Lover who created a garden.
Perfection displayed in brilliance.
To the trees He said, “Bear fruit of many kinds, for my Bride is coming, and she will need nourished.”
To the ground He said, “Bring forth vegetables to sustain her, and satisfy her hunger.”
To each plant He said, “Bring forth vitality, to protect and heal her sickness and ailment. She will find healing in you when complication may arise, and where I destine that you cannot heal her, I will renew her body.”
Then, He created and brought forth animals to be companion and friend, for cheer and play.
He looked in awe of the splendor of His hands and said, “All is ready, and it is good.”
Finally, crafting with His own hands, He formed the Glory of His Creation, His Bride, to live in the Garden He had prepared.
Together they communed in peace and happiness. The Lover had never been so full of joy….
But soon, the Bride was deceived by a great Enemy and cast out.
The Lover, broken and filled with sorrow watched as His Beloved drifted farther and farther from Him.
To the trees her offspring said, “Your fruit is too sweet and not good for our bodies, we will not consume it.” And they limited their children from it as well.
To the vegetables they said, “You are too high in starches, and the rest of you are meager. We do not wish to consume you, either.”
Turning to the beasts given by the Lover to be companions, they ate of their flesh and drank of their milk, abusing them to satisfy their thirsts and hunger.
When they became sick, and forced sickness on each other, they trampled down the plants the Lover had crafted, and said, “We will grind the rocks instead.” Pulling from mines and refining chemicals, using the waste from different sources-even from the dead, saying “surely these will heal us!” These did not heal their sickness, and made them worse. They dug for more stones and strained through more waste, and more of the dead, to find their cures.
The Lover watched as His Bride trampled down the beauty He had given them, overcome with sorrow and anger. He sent floods to wash out their crops, frost to ruin their trees, fires to burn their vineyards, storms to display His glory – but His Bride made excuses, “It is us, we have done this, our hands are causing this to happen.” Some yet said they themselves had managed to create these disasters to destroy each other.
So few turned to Him, delighting in His gifts.
To those who did He blessed them with health and peace, for they looked to Him and said, “Your Creation is enough for Me, and I will Delight in you, all of my days. I will eat and make use of your Garden. For you created the world in Perfection and I praise you for providing for My needs, and designing them by hand to prepare a place for Us, before you even made us.”

Lucid dream in which I slashed down a horse with a sword. Before the slash, I already knew it was a dream and that my actions can be anything, but I don't understand why I was so cruel towards it. Afterwards, I wanted to find a doctor for the horse or treat it in someway. I felt horrible and wanted to help it even though I KNEW it was a dream but that it was my fault it was bleeding.
I was a knight with a big castle. I thought I was all powerful with impunity in my dream, then I felt so pathetic and regretful over what I have done.

“Some sneaky, bad [expletive] goes on with the fight guys in Japan all the time, and I think that’s what happened there. The day of the fight – the day ‘Cro Cop’ is fighting for me. How dirty is that? Tell me that’s not dirty. And it wasn’t true. They do that [expletive] all the time, man…Here’s what’s sad. There’s a huge fight market in Japan. There are fans over there who want this, but there’s some shady [expletive] people over there that keep it from happening. They know who they are, and they don’t want the UFC to come to Japan, and that’s a fact…They’re going to have to kill me. That’s where they’re going to have to do. We’re coming there no matter what. We’re coming there. We’re going to break through this thing. We’re going to get past these dirty, sneaky, bad guys in Japan, and we’re going to make it happen…If I don’t get killed over in Japan, I’ll be [expletive] amazed when I go ever there. I’ll be amazed.”
—Dana White proclaiming his willingness to take one for the team if that’s what it takes for the UFC to find success in Japan
In case you missed it with all the UFC 100 hoopla this past weekend, Cro Cop has in fact signed a three-fight deal with the UFC. Remember how DREAM said they had signed Cro Cop to a deal immediately following UFC 99? Yeah, well, they were lying. According to Dana, in addition to the fault he’s obviously placed on the Japanese fight promoters, he also blames Cro Cop’s manager, Ken Imai, for the post-UFC 99 fiasco. Dana says he has no problem with Mirko.

A strong spell of déjà vu came over the room Tuesday at the Missoula County Public Schools board of trustees' meeting.
It was much like a scene that took place here three years ago - the trustees voted to extend the Missoula International School's lease of the Prescott School building, and the same opposition spoke against it.
Missoula International School will now remain in the Prescott School building through 2017.
Ross Best, who spoke against the extension of the private Spanish-immersion school's lease in 2008 when it was last approved for a three-year extension, told trustees they needed to produce a report detailing the economic impact of leasing the building to a private school. He said it draws students away from public schools and ultimately results in MCPS losing money.
Jeanne Joscelyn, a local parent, presented a poster board covered in statistics and literature exemplifying her opposition to the lease extension.
"It is time to listen to the people you represent. These are the beneficiaries of MCPS, not private schools," she said.
Missoula International School has leased the Prescott building in the lower Rattlesnake Valley since the school district closed it in 2004 because of declining enrollments. The private school's current five-year lease ends July 31, 2012.
Pat McHugh, executive director of business and operations at MCPS, said the lease has generated $200,000 in revenue to date.
"The building is an income generator instead of absorbing income," said trustee James Sadler, citing that the school district would still have to pay for utilities if the building was vacant.
He also discredited the idea that leasing to MIS is subsidizing a private school.
"When parents make a choice for private school, and they don't choose that private school (MIS), they'd choose other private schools available in Missoula."
With the new lease also comes a new lease rate. In 2012, MIS will pay $55,000 for the building - $35,000 more than what it paid when it began leasing in 2004.
The rise in rent has been a steady one through the school's seven years of leasing the Prescott building, and will continue to increase into 2014 when MCPS will charge $60,000 - a comparable rate to what Walla Walla University pays to lease Mount Jumbo Elementary in East Missoula.
Although MCPS use of the building in the future has not been ruled out, McHugh said the school district has no intention of using the building for its own purposes in the next five years.

It obviously depends on the music and the venue -- but nothing sounds more natural, when amplifying or recording your bass, than a microphone. This is often an issue in the studio, where you need to mic yourself in order to be recorded. Montreal Bass Day brought in a number of different clip on mics for the upright bass. On its own, the bass isn’t overwhelmingly loud, particularly when compared with amped guitars and drum kits. Miking an upright bass for live performance. The gig is taking place in an acoustically dead theatre space, so miking is important. This will help to minimize the stage noise and bleed problems from other instruments. I have a great bass player who is curious about the best setup to help his upright bass sound when he plays out. Recording the double bass — aka upright bass — takes more than throwing up the nearest mic in front of an f-hole. I have quite a bit of experience recording upright bass but my question is for live performances. Good mic technique is critical to capture this subtle and beautiful instrument. Set the bass strings' mic to the left channel and the treble strings' mic to the right channel.Run a test performance by playing the piano and adjust both mics as necessary. I've got a one-night show next week featuring an acoustic guitar and and an upright bass. How To Mic Drums For Live Performances. If you are a drummer, then you have likely encountered the problem of miking your kit at some point. If you want to add this boominess to the sound from your pickup, (maybe it’s to make up for the lack of low end from a piezo pickup, in your bass or you just like more boominess than what naturally possible from an upright bass), but it doesn’t make sense to spend $700 on a flat frequency response mic to just to boost boominess, nor are you getting a true tone from your bass. In noisy stage situations, adjust the mics to about six inches away from the strings, instead of 12 inches away. Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, someone told a recording engineer that all of the good sound in an upright bass came from the f-hole, and that a microphone should be placed only inches away from this magic place. By Justin Peacock. The search for the perfect live mic for upright bass players. Usually he is just miced up with some dynamic mics or DI strait to amp.

☕☕☕ I hope everyone is enjoying a cozy winter Friday. ☕☕☕
For today’s project I decided on a Niffler! They look so cute and cuddly ^^
The paper model was made by me and you can download it here => NifflerPDF
I gave the niffler a coat of mod podge matte at the end, to make it more sturdy. Which made it a bit too glossy so I did a final coat with a matte varnish (liquitex). These 2 steps aren’t necessary =)
Hope you guys enjoy and thanks for watching!

Stephanie in the kitchen during the first challenge. Photo credit: Food Network
Stephanie Goldfarb is vying to be “America’s Best Cook.”
The 29-year-old senior associate of teen initiatives at the Jewish United Fund/Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Chicago was one of 16 home chefs selected to compete on Food Network’s newest reality cooking competition, which premiered April 13 and airs Sundays at 8 p.m.
Hosted by Ted Allen of “Chopped,” last weekend’s pressure-cooker of a first episode saw the field of 16 cut in half, as contestants (competing in regions north, south, east or west based on where they are from) tried to earn a spot on their region’s team, each mentored by a famous Food Network chef: Michael Symon (North), Cat Cora (South), Alex Guarnaschelli (East) or Tyler Florence (West). For the first challenge, the mentors each chose a main course for their region’s home chefs to prepare in 30 minutes; they personally tasted each and determined which two of the four contestants would be on their team.
Competing in the North region for Chef Symon, Goldfarb had to prepare steak and a side dish. She made a bone-in strip steak with red wine sauce and a side of potato latkes served with a horseradish sour cream. It doesn’t sound too hard, except when you consider that Goldfarb has long been a vegetarian. Still, she managed to impress Symon enough to earn a coveted spot on his team.

Lucky for us, Goldfarb has agreed to check in with Oy!Chicago after each show airs to talk about the episodes and share her thoughts and behind-the-scenes knowledge. So stay tuned to see if she becomes America’s Best Cook!
1. Describe briefly your audition process for the show. What
drove you to try out?
Actually, a friend and colleague of mine at the Federation sent a link to me that advertised an open audition for the show. At first, I wasn't even going to audition because I was all intimidated by the process. It takes some chutzpah to put yourself out there like that! But after my partner and friends found out I was considering auditioning for the show, I no longer had a say in the matter. Essentially, it was "Goldfarb, if you don't audition for this show, you are an idiot." I couldn't argue with that.
2. What was recording the first challenge like? How was it
like you expected and what were the biggest surprises?
That first challenge was like one gigantic silly dream. I had thirty minutes, not only to cook an incredible meal, but to wrap my head around cooking for a freaking Iron Chef, in the Food Network Studios, against all these other phenomenal cooks, in a totally unfamiliar kitchen. I mean, who do I think I am? I think I looked pretty composed on camera, but inside all I could think was "do NOT **** this up. Do NOT **** this up. Keep it together, Goldfarb." I was surviving and really trying to soak it all up. I forced myself to look up from my cooking ever few minutes just to look around and consider my surroundings. This may have been my first and last shot at this experience, and I never ever wanted to forget it. The biggest surprise was when Michael Symon told me he wanted me on his team. Did you see that steak? It was DARK. I thought for sure I was going home. Turns out he saw something in me that I didn't. I will never forget that moment.
3. As the show’s “recovering vegetarian,” were you nervous
to have to cook steak for the first challenge? Did you prepare yourself before
the show at all to get comfortable cooking meat in a short amount of time?
Before I left to film the show I spent about a month cramming all I could about meat cookery into my head. My friends were literally dropping off bags of meat cookbooks at my apartment for me to study. I have watched a LOT of food television in my time, and I know how these things work. Vegetarians never survive long, and are generally kept around for entertainment value only. So I read. And ate. I ate more meat in the weeks before the show than I think I ever ate in my life. It was actually pretty awesome because I was allowing myself to learn new cooking techniques and appreciate new flavors. But there is a difference between studying meat and cooking meat. When I walked into the steak challenge, I KNEW all there was to KNOW about technically cooking a steak, but I hadn't actually tried it in real life. Hence, the extremely, um, "blackened" effect on my dish.
4. You made latkes!

Just bought it from a friend, im not really a chevy guy but becoming one. Its got a cold air intake, a throttle body spacer, had the hypertech tuning done and has dual 40 series dumped. Wanted to know a good head and cam setup, i plan on getting headers obviously but from there im lost, i just want a set of heads and a nice cam to make it a bit meaner, nothing drastic but something decent. Im guessing this a tbi motor right? Where would I get an aftermarket intake, are tbi intakes the same as carbed?

Q: What is "Split-Glass" design and why is it important for night vision? A: When the front lens cover uses two pieces of glass separated by a metal ring to prevent LED light from reflecting back into the lens and causing a foggy effect.
IR back reflection, also called “light scatter”, is evident in the above captured image from a single plate bullet camera. In the lower right corner there is a foggy “port hole” effect along with visual artifacts which appear to be swirling around the van in the upper right corner. During daylight hours the camera’s picture looks normal and is of reasonable quality.
The above diagram shows a cut-out, side view of the typical bullet camera design that uses a single plate of glass to cover the lens and LED assembly. The drawing illustrates how IR light can bounce inside the glass plate an eventually into the outer edges of the lens. One result of this light can cause a halo effect which makes the outer perimeter of the picture look foggy. Problems can occur with a brand new camera and get worse when small amounts of dirt or grime build up on the glass. The slightest amount of dirt or water residue can increase the back reflection properties of the glass.
Pictured above is an example of a camera using a conventional single glass face plate with a rubber bushing to surrounding the board lens. Despite having 12 more LEDs than our 1R-0070-35IR, it had an inferior night vision range and suffered from a foggy halo effect within an hour of sunset.
Split Glass Design Makes Back Reflection Impossible. Shown above is the split-glass design that is employed by all our outdoor bullet and vandal proof dome cameras. Unlike with the single glass design, it is impossible for LED light to travel into the camera lense through the front glass cover plates because they are physically separated by a metal shield.
Above is our 1R-0070-35IR bullet camera with the front cap removed to better show the split glass design. Notice that the inner and outer glass pieces are physically separated by a metal light shield which completely blocks all LED light from directly reflecting back into the lens.

Isla Mujeres, Q.R. — Charges against several former municipal officials of Isla Mujeres are still pending according to Rosaura Villanueva Arzapalo. The head of the State’s FGE Anti-Corruption division said the first court dates were deferred, but they continue to wait for new dates.
In the meantime, Arzapalo said that those being charged are aware of the accusations against them and once they have a court date, formal charges will be presented. Specifically, those involved are former collaborators of the Juan Carrillo Soberanis government.
“There are several crimes. People have already been made aware of the conduct that they are being accused of and if there is financial damage, the repair of that damage,” she said without providing details.
She said that there have already been former public servants charged for alleged acts of corruption committed during the municipal government six years ago, which was also headed by the former Isla Mujeres mayor Juan Carrillo, who is now a federal deputy.

Today is Ariel's mom's birthday. Hippo Birdies to Carol (a.k.a Snorkel Mom)!!! She is an extremely talented potter, and we wanted to share a few photos of her recent creations: the two bowls featured below. Aren't they gorgeous?! Although these bowls are more prized than a customary mathom, Carol is such a generous and kind person, that like the Hobbits, she is just as likely to give away presents as receive them on her birthday. We are so grateful and happy to celebrate her today. Now, let's fill these things up for the feast!
Love you Snorkel Mom!

Fingerprinting mercury pollution
Mercury is a neurotoxin. The Environmental Protection Agency says mercury can be especially harmful for babies and kids. Mercury can affect their developing brains and harm their memory, attention, language and motor skills.
Mercury is naturally-occurring. Volcanoes emit mercury and so do hot springs, like the ones in Yellowstone National Park.
But the EPA points out... the largest manmade source of mercury emissions in the U.S. comes from coal-burning power plants.
Joel Blum is a professor of Earth and Environmental Sciences at the University of Michigan. Blum says when power plants burn coal, mercury is emitted as a gas.
“In order to become toxic, it has to be transformed into a particular form known as methylmercury which is something that happens in the environment.”
So... mercury falls from the atmosphere, and is converted to methylmercury in the water. That toxic form builds up in fish... and it can build up in us when we eat fish.
But for years... there’s been a big debate about where that mercury goes when it’s released from a power plant smokestack.
“How much is deposited nearby, close to the plant, and how much goes into what we call global pool of mercury - basically goes into the atmosphere and stays there for a long period of time and mixes with mercury from other sources.”
Joel Blum and his colleagues have started to crack that puzzle with some careful detective work. They were able to track mercury emissions from a power plant in Florida... and they found that a high proportion of the mercury ended up nearby.
They did this by looking at chemical fingerprints.
“The element mercury has seven different forms that have slightly different masses.”
So – they can measure the ratio of these mercury isotopes and look at very subtle differences.
“And that can be used to tell different batches of mercury apart from one another.”
The team took the fingerprint of mercury in coal from the regions in Kentucky and West Virginia that supply the Florida power plant. And they measured rainfall at sites near the plant... and sites far away from the plant... for a month. It turned out the mercury fingerprint in those rainfall samples near the plant was very different from the mercury coming from other sources from across the Gulf of Mexico.
“So our study basically showed that a large portion of the mercury is being deposited locally from a particular power plant which strengthens the argument that we should be regulating mercury emissions from our own power plants in the United States.”
In Michigan, utility companies have been installing mercury control systems to meet state regulations.
The mercury fingerprinting method has been ten years in the making. But Joel Blum makes a point of saying that this is a very new technique... and there are many questions they still need to answer. For one thing... they still have to get mercury samples from the top of smokestacks.
Laura Sherman is a PhD candidate who’s been working on the project. She says someone would have to go up near the top of the smokestack to get mercury samples.
“They basically sit up there pulling air through little tubes with gold beads in them. All the mercury in the stack will stick to those gold beads, and we can analyze it later, so that’s something we would like to do.”
And she says right now, they’ve only looked at mercury fingerprints from this one power plant in Florida, so they don’t know yet what they’ll find at other plants.
The study is published in the journal Environmental Science & Technology.
Neither DTE Energy nor Consumers Energy responded to our requests for comment on the study.

Efficient Intermolecular Energy Exchange and Soft Ionization of Water at Nanoplatelet Interfaces - Data Files
Jones, Brant M.
Clark, Aurora E.
Orlando, Thomas M.
MetadataShow full item record
X-ray, energetic photon and electron irradiation can ionize and electronically excite target atoms and molecules. These excitations undergo complicated relaxation and energy transfer processes that ultimately determine the manifold of system responses to the deposited excess energy. In weakly bound gas- and solution-phase samples, intermolecular Coulomb decay (ICD) and electron-transfer mediated decay (ETMD) can occur with neighboring atoms or molecules leading to efficient transfer of the excess energy to the surroundings. In ionic solids such as metal-oxides, intra- and inter-atomic Auger decay produces localized final states that lead to lattice damage and typically removal of cations from the substrate. The relative importance of Auger stimulated damage (ASD) versus ICD and ETMD in micro-solvated nanoparticle interfaces is not known. Though ASD is generally expected, essentially no lattice damage resulting from ionization and electronic excitation of micro-solvated boehmite (AlOOH) nanoplatelets has been observed. Efficient energy transfer and soft ionization of interfacial molecules is likely a general phenomenon at gas-oxyhydroxide nanoparticle interfaces where the density of states of the ionized chemisorbed species significantly overlap the core hole states of the solid.

the mooniest Moon...probably not, this time
The most motherly of Moons opposes the sternest and most fatherly of Suns, if it was only just that.
This Full Moon eclipse, the first of 2020, will occur at 20°00’ Cancer (antisicion 10° Gemini), only hours before the Uranus station and two days prior the Saturn-Pluto conjunction in Capricorn and only 2°46’ away from it.
This Lunar Eclipse mirrors the Solar Eclipse at 20° Cancer which occurred in July 2018. Does that ring any bells with anyone?
This Lunar Eclipse will be visible in any location where the Moon is above the [...]

Fellas: Did you watch the World Cup? Did you catch When They See Us? How do you feel about lower crime rates, and fewer kids born into poverty? Paternity leave and free access to screening for sexually transmitted diseases? How about being able to talk to your wife about Stranger Things instead of sitting across a table from her in silent, uncomprehending alienation? Pretty cool, isn't it?
So why aren't we speaking up a little more about abortion rights?
When I contemplate the compounding benefits of Roe v. Wade, to me and everyone I know, the world before it looms like a primordial, three-martini swamp, barely capable of supporting life as we know it. The distance traveled since 1973, when half the population was excluded from full participation in the cultural, civic, economic and political life of the country so that men could enjoy — what, exactly? — can feel as unclosable to me as the space between stars.
Roe may not have toppled the patriarchy, but it gave its foundation a profound and reverberating shake, not only freeing countless women from the near-slavery of forced child birth and embittering marriage, and large numbers of men from the heart-hardening and soul-crushing behaviors required to keep the machinery of subjugation functioning, but even much of the wider culture from a narrow-minded and misogynistic self-conception. The right to abortion is a lynchpin of modernity.
The recognition of women's reproductive rights, and by extension their full-fledged humanity, was an event that, like the Voting Rights Act or the New Deal before it, seemed to mark a before-and-after point in our fitful national progress. Yet, just like those once-immovable milestones, Roe v. Wade is now under concerted, ferocious attack.
We are speeding backwards toward the grim old days, on a bus hijacked by men who refer to blastocysts as "babies," their wives as "mother," and credibly accused sexual predators as "Mr. President." Roe has already been effectively overturned in dozens of states, and the federal right to abortion is hanging on by the narrow width of a thinning, bleached, and over-combed hair.
So-called "personhood" and "heartbeat" bills not only lay the foundation for banning abortion and contraception, they will eventually, like Roe, exert broad influence across our legal, economic, environmental, and political landscape. It will be an unmitigated disaster if Roe's opponents succeed, first and foremost for women, of course, but also for the nation as a whole. Roe didn't merely change reproductive law; it contributed to sea changes in public health, politics, education, crime, advertising, migration, sports, art, and entertainment. It freed women to imagine futures that had been unavailable to them for millennia, and men to share in the many fruits of those futures.
So why are we responding to this emergency by asking women to take on yet another unpleasant task made unpleasant by men: the fight against the many forces committed to denying them bodily autonomy? Who do we think we are? No, really. Who. Who do we imagine ourselves to be, exactly?
I am only able to write this piece, to afford to do work I enjoy as a writer and a teacher, because my wife has a career made possible by delaying childbirth to enter the workforce, and before that by being able to imagine a life she couldn't have had prior to 1973.
I was able to delay becoming a father until I was ready because former partners exercised their right to abortion. I am a better father to the children I have than I possibly could have been to the children I didn't.
I am able to spend much more time with my daughters than my father spent with me. Even the quality of our time together — the things we do and talk about, the way we talk about them — is less constrained by gender expectations than it would have been 50 years ago. The same is true for the way we all relate to each other, isn't it?
It's hard to overstate how central the securing of women's reproductive rights has been to the blossoming of a culture that, while still new, fragile, and profoundly, maddeningly misogynistic, is vastly more humane — and interesting! — than it was in 1973, thanks to the many women who fought so hard to make it a reality.
Any man who is spending, or has spent, his 20s going to law school, or playing in a band without the demands of raising a family should consider that there might have been something more to his success than native intelligence, hard work, or even class or race privilege. Any man who was able to delay becoming a dad until he'd figured out how to open a bank account has a few hundred-

The lifting of the arch was due to start yesterday afternoon after a successful test last weekend.
A project insider said there was widespread discontent among workers over what they said amounted to a wage cut.
The insider said: "The canteen meeting was held on Wednesday morning as workers stood to lose about £300 a week and everybody felt it was time to make a stand."
The insider said that the workers eventually negotiated a compromise deal with the subcontractors.
A Multiplex spokesperson said that all of the subcontractors working on the project had been told four months ago about the site closures during the lifting process.
The spokesperson said that the site had to be cleared during the lifting of the arch for safety reasons. He said the issues raised at the meeting had been resolved quickly and work had resumed in two hours.
The next stage in lifting the arch will take place over the weekend when it will be raised to a gradient of 30°. Over the next four to six weeks the arch will be lifted to a 112° angle, at which point it will be locked off.
Building revealed last week that the unions had objected to the fact that Multiplex had taken control of the safety induction training on the project and that it was stopping them recruiting members. However, the issue was resolved and the unions will now resume its induction sessions. Multiplex said last last week that the sessions would be carried out by both unions and contractor using a rota system.

Join me for this free 90-minute class and discover the Five Things I’ve Learned about the coordinated forces working to end American democracy as we know it – and what we must do today to fight back.
I’m Stuart Stevens. For almost three decades, I was a republican political consultant making ads for republican candidates. I worked in five presidential elections and helped elect governors or senators in over half the country.
In 2019. I left my consulting firm, no longer able to work for Republicans. I joined the Lincoln Project and wrote a book called It Was All A Lie, How The Republican Party Became Donald Trump.
When Trump was elected, I had many friends who were saying that Donald Trump had hijacked the Party, that he was an aberration. I would have liked to believe that but it was impossible. When a hijacker takes over a plane, he’s not popular with the passengers and Trump was and is the most popular figure in the Republican party.
What is important to understand is that Donald Trump didn’t change the Republican Party, he revealed it. As painful as it is for some of us to admit, the Republican party is no longer a traditional American political party, it is an autocratic movement.
I wrote a book called The Conspiracy To End America: Five Ways My Old Party Is Driving Democracy to Autocracy.
When a democracy – when our democracy – slides into autocracy, five critical elements work together. These elements are all active today in American politics. All are growing in power and influence as their cumulative influence metastasizes more dangerously every day:
- Propagandists: Organizations like Fox News but also a growing media ecosphere that looks to autocrats like Hungary’s Viktor Orban of Hungary as their role models.
- Support of a Major Party: Republican men and women – including many people I have known to be sane and decent – who steadfastly refuse to acknowledge that Donald Trump lost to the 2020 race, and who now endorse Trump’s 2024 presidential run.
- Financers: American oligarchs like Peter Theil, who has openly voiced his opposition to democracy, together with a vast online base of zealous small donors that together provide almost unlimited funding to the cause.
- Legal Theories to Legitimize Actions: Legislation efforts like those introduced by Republicans in almost every U.S. state aimed at methodically altering the legal framework of democracy.
- Shock Troops: The insurrectionists who stormed the Capital on January 6, 2021, as well as the still growing network of men and women who believe they have a moral obligation to remove the current resident of the White House.
My concerns are real, and, importantly, this is not theoretical for me: I know many of the people who continue to fuel the Republican drive to autocracy. I also know their world and how they function. As dangerous as they may seem, they are worse: If we don’t wake up to the crisis in our system, 2024 may well be our last free and fair election.
If you love America, and if you’re as determined as I am about rising to the challenges of the current moment, I hope you’ll join me for this live, 90-minute class. I’m pleased that I’ll be joined online by my friend and colleague Megan Matson, who understands and shares the urgency of this moment and the reasons for my alarm.
As I’ll explain, mine is testimony to a corrupt system that I helped construct. If we look away from that truth, we greatly increase the likelihood that the America we love will slip away, never to return.
Do please join me. Please help spread the word and invite others as well.
It’s not too late to save American democracy.
But it is too late to pretend that the danger is not great, and the time grows short.
– Stuart Stevens
Megan Matson has the somewhat frenetic bio of someone who starts and/or makes things happen.
Most recently, Megan got the pro-democracy media platform ResoluteSquare.com capitalized and launched, where you can find writings, podcasts and streaming shows anchored by Rick Wilson, Stuart Stevens et al, against the autocratic movement that is today’s GOP.
As board lead at The Lincoln Project from late 2021, Megan did intensive organizational work including the staffing and launch of TheUnion.us and the restructuring of the Lincoln Democracy Institute. In 2020, she trained a team to co-launch the SeeSay2020 election incidents heat map on ESRI’s ArcGIS with Democracy Labs' Deepak Puri. In late 2018, Megan went to Texas and worked for the Field Team on Beto's Senate race. Over that same stretch of years, as deeply active board members, Megan and her equity partner Peter Luchetti backed, grew and sold Heila Technologies, a breakthrough clean energy microgrid controller;

RelayRides blogger and ski fanatic, Eric Rosenberg, has tips to get to some of Colorado’s top ski destinations on the cheap from Denver International Airport.
Looking for a great ski trip? There is no place better than the Colorado Rocky Mountains. With world class ski destinations, luxury resorts, and beautiful scenery, the only thing that is missing is you, and a luxury ride to get there. Here are our recommendations for places to ski and the cars to get you there from Denver airport.
Distance from Denver International Airport: 221 miles
Want to spend your winter holiday among the rich and famous? Join the company of business executives, Hollywood elite, and European vacationers in this world famous ski resort town.
Aspen is host to the ESPN X-Games every year, and you can ski and ride the same slopes as your favorite winter athletes at the Aspen-Snowmass resort.
When you’re away from the mountain, enjoy excellent cuisine and attractions around town. If you’re looking to explore a little off the beaten path, be sure to enjoy a meal in downtown Carbondale or visit the hot springs pool at Glenwood Springs less than an hour away.
How to get there: So, you’re heading to Aspen? You going to want to travel in-style from Denver Int. Airport, which is why The Ultimate Driving Machine is the best choice for you. It’s a great BMW 5 Series and getting it from the airport is simple.
Distance from Denver International Airport: 120 miles
If you are looking for great service and a massive ski resort, take your next mountain getaway in Vail. With over 5,000 acres of skiable terrain, Vail is the second largest ski resort in the United States. Enjoy challenging back bowl terrain or glide down the front side of the mountain on a variety of beginner and intermediate terrain. You have seven bowls to choose from and countless combinations of paths down the mountain.
When you’re not skiing, be sure to walk around the Swiss inspired village and dine at one of the town’s fine French and Italian bistros.
How to get there: you want something that will get you from the airport to Vail in comfort and class. That is why Mark’s Toyota 4Runner Sport is a great choice.
Distance from Denver International Airport: 89 miles
Want to avoid the glitz and cost of Aspen and Vail? Go where the locals go and spend your holiday in Winter Park. Winter Park resort is owned by the City of Denver and has lower lift ticket prices than some competing mountains.
Just because it is cheaper doesn’t mean the mountain is not quality. Enjoy a wide array of terrain on the front side of the mountain for any difficulty level. I prefer the back side, known as Mary Jane, with mostly intermediate runs.
When away from the mountain, try a fun evening on the tubing hill or find your way to the local ice rink.
How to get there: You have to rent Mary’s Subaru Outback…it is the perfect car for a ski trip and great if you are coming from the airport. With a car like that, you shouldn’t need to worry about installing snow chains.
Distance from Denver International Airport: 104 miles
If you are looking for an “in between” option for your trip, looking to avoid the high prices of Vail and Aspen while still enjoying a luxury vacation, look no further than Breckenridge. Fondly known by locals as “Breck,” this is one of the first places I ever skied as a child growing up in Colorado.
Both a summer and winter destination, Breck has great skiing and a wonderful town below. To stay nearby on a budget, check out the quaint town Frisco adjacent to the scenic Lake Dillon just a few miles away.
How to get there: Dan’s Audi is the way to go if you want something sporty and stylish to get you from Denver International Airport to Breck.
Distance from Denver International Airport: 129 miles
Luxury without pretention. That is how I think of my trips to Beaver Creek. Owned by Vail Resorts, Beaver Creek is a place to get celebrity quality service with a more private atmosphere.
Just because Beaver Creek doesn’t make the news as often as Aspen doesn’t mean it is lacking in quality. That is by design. Enjoy luxury in a friendly atmosphere at the Beaver Creek resort.
How to get there: Craig’s Subaru Forester is the right choice if you want the perfect combination of affordability and utility.

Headbands are beautiful. However, it doesn’t go great with many players. Devine can pull it off but it is not as identity sort of thing for her. Pandey really owns them.
She adjusts the band, runs in all quick. She has her eye on the stumps, opens her right hand and gets ready to release the ball when she comes near the umpire. She would bend releases the ball while watching the batter till the end. The ball would kiss the fifth or fourth stump line and would dip in. The curvature is not great but tricky. Kapp’s dismissal in an ODI in 2014, Wilson’s dismissal recently are the two deliveries that come to my mind immediately.
Pandey is a leader by nature both on and off the field. She knows what it takes to be one at least, hey, I’m are talking about Air Force Squadron leader here. She knows exactly what her team needs from her and she brings it to the game.
Of course, there were a lot of tweaks to her bowling in recent times. She would love to bowl even it is in the nets and would understand what she misses and would correct herself. Players like her are super difficult to find.
During the last T20 World Cup, she had to sit out, blame her inconsistency as well but it was a shocker. India preferred youngsters at that time. She would have been disappointed but as cool as she is, she recollected herself to put all efforts on the game and got back within months. Now, she is the leader of the pace attack in the team. With no Jhulan around, she did take up the responsibility well as other youngsters are still work in progress.
With the talent and the mindset she has, it is easy for any captain to rely on her during the difficult times. Even when the team needs only a few runs, she would back herself, would stay cool to produce yorkers or pretty inswingers to save the day.
In the recently concluded World Cup, India and New Zealand played one of the rollercoaster matches. India was on topmost of the time but then Kerr happened. The storm almost knocked India. Needing 16 runs to win in the final over, Kerr looked confident. However, Pandey knew what she had to do and made sure to take India home safe.
With no Jhulan around, India really does need Pandey to step up every single time, considering the fact that India would normally play with more spinners. While her role is pretty hard, she makes it look like cakewalk these days.
One thing I love in Pandey other than her bowling is her fitness as well as how disciplined she is. As Jhulan quoted once, she would hit the bed early and would wake up early. She would hit the nets at the right time and follows the routine right. She does bring that quality to her game, makes it special.
Her batting is certainly underutilized, blame the batters in the team. India is full of them and it is difficult to make Pandey bat ahead. When she does, she does provide some entertainment. Also, she knows how to rotate the strike well.
Once again, her performance in 2014 ODI against South Africa is an example. She scored a brilliant fifty batting at the top after bowling all the ten overs.
The way she built her innings was amazing to watch, and I do wish the team make her play ahead.
For years to come, Pandey will continue to lead India’s bowling attack and will be the trump card. Her headband would tell so many lovely stories as we go ahead.
Happy Birthday, Pandey!

With this past Saturday's series sweep over Chabot, the College of the Sequoias softball team is now on a four game win streak.
The first game saw a 5 run third inning, propelling COS to a 7-2 victory.
Breanne Tabarez had a monster day at the plate, going 1-for-2 with 3 RBI.
Ashley Paradine got her fourth win of the season, throwing a complete game, allowing just 2 runs.
In the second game, the Giants (7-2) came back from a one run deficit in the third, to win 7-5. COS scored 5 combined runs in the third and fourth inning.
Just like Paradine, Ashley Guzman threw a complete seven inning game. Guzman had one strikeout on the day.
The Giants will be on the road this Wednesday at Delta. First pitch in Stockton is set for 3 p.m.

Interview with Alessandra Altamura, author of “Music Club Toscana”
Music Club Toscana: Music time stories, by Alessandra Altamura. Piombino, Italy: Edizioni IL FOGLIO. 192 pp.www.ilfoglioletterario.it
It was mid-afternoon in late March when the postman’s knock interrupted my nap. (Being in journalistic exile leaves much room for napping, and other forms of self-reflection.) The package I signed for had ten stamps on it—five depicting the Terme Di Bonifacio VIII, and a row of five up top depicting the late singer Nino Reitano (1944-2009)—totaling 12.50 Euros, the equivalent of $16.07. Interesting: I hadn’t even opened the package yet, and I’d already learned something! That was to prove a useful omen.
Inside the envelope was a fresh new copy of the debut collection of 22 short-stories by Alessandra Altamura, an Italian-born literature teacher who turns 40 this November and graduated from the Liceo Classico Macchiavelli and the University of Pisa. The contents were pleasant, but of no surprise; I’d been waiting for it for a few days. Altamura, the author, had sent it off from her home in Lucca (near Pisa), in Tuscany in the great historic country of Italy on March 12. Two weeks days to travel across the Mediterranean, the European continent and the Atlantic Ocean seemed quite reasonable.
I was looking forward to seeing it for myself, and I was in no way disappointed. Music Club Toscana: Music time stories is a labor of love in the most literal sense; it combines her dual passions for music and her own native culture. Translated from the original Italian, the writing is vibrant and briskly-paced; the text moves fast over 192 pages. The book’s contents are like its packaging: smooth, compact and colorful. Speaking as someone who no longer makes regular practice of reading much fiction, I enjoyed the book immensely. After reading her book, I got the chance to briefly interview Ms. Altamura via email from New York City, where she arrived to begin her book tour last week.
SDH: How long did it take to write this book? Where did the idea come from?
AA: I wrote my book in a few months, less than one year, but I collected the material for these stories [over] my whole life. The idea comes from my love for music, especially live music. I have many friends who are musicians, also my brother plays the guitar. Other than that, music clubs are full of stories and characters.
SDH: Are your characters all real people, all fictional, or a combination?
AA: Some characters are real, with their real names, some are fictional and some are a mix of reality and fantasy.
SDH: What kind of music do you like?
AA: The first story was born in a club in Florence where my friends usually play, then came all the others. In the book there are many kinds of music, because each person needs a different kind of music. Personally I prefer jazz, the great songwriters and in general a music that makes people meet and think.
SDH: Which of the venues did you visit first?
AA: I visited first the places closest to my town. Lucca, Pisa, Florence. Then I went to the farest, like Siena, Arezzo or Grosseto, just to have a complete vision for my book.
SDH: Which venue in the book is your favorite?
AA: My favorite venue and also my favorite story is the one that takes place at Le Murate, that was the prison of Florence before becoming a club.
SDH: Tell me a bit about the lady who translated the book into English…
AA: Shayna Hobbs is a friend of a friend, who lived some time in Italy and taught me English. Now they live in Georgia and they will host me after Florida. oh, this is a funny thing, because each story is translated from a different friend. So in English there are really many characters and voices. Then a lady read it to see if there were mistakes. Maybe there are still some mistakes, because we did all quickly when I was leaving to London, but the English version is a proof that my friends love me…
SDH: Do you plan to write more books? Have you decided on the topic yet?
AA: I think to write another book, with stories that take place all over the world. In fact I’m trying to travel and know better other countries.
SDH: Who are your favorite Italian musicians?
AA: My favourite Italian musicians are the big songwriters, who are also poets: de Andrè, Fossati

I graduated in Fine Art at Kingston University in 2009; I have a degree in Art History at Sussex University and graduated in 2011. The paintings are based on architecture and ideas in these habitations; I also have some screenprints of the specific mediums. The abstract compositions depict architectural structures. These architectural landscapes have compositions with designs and colours that complement. The paintings and their compositions are based on abstraction depicting architecture habitats and environments. These compositions centre on the ideas in shapes with colours and how both matches. In these architectural paintings I research the ideas of the architectural landscape leading to a feeling of gazing at a perspective with habitats places. It could be seen that the colours have a sense of brightness. I also have the seascape paintings with artistic motifs and vibrant colours. These paintings compositions are views of structure in an abstracted fashion. The paintings seem compelling yet in some senses, they are recognisable as landscapes yet they are abstract in their composition. These have complementary compositional shapes with the bright palette of colours and also in this sense the way they match. I will be putting some new paintings up soon.

Underwater hearing acuity and sound localization are improved by the presence of an air interface around the pinnae and inside the external ear canals.
Hearing threshold and the ability to localize sound sources are reduced underwater. The resonance frequency of the external ear is lowered when the external ear canal is filled with water, and the impedance-matching ability of the middle ear is significantly reduced due to elevation of the ambient pressure, the water-mass load on the tympanic membrane, and the addition of a fluid-air interface during submersion. Sound lateralization on land is largely explained by the mechanisms of interaural intensity differences and interaural temporal or phase differences. During submersion, these differences are largely lost due to the increase in underwater sound velocity and cancellation of the head's acoustic shadow effect because of the similarity between the impedance of the skull and the surrounding water.
Ten scuba divers wearing a regular opaque face mask or an opaque ProEar 2000 (Safe Dive, Ltd., Hofit, Israel) mask that enables the presence of air at ambient pressure in and around the ear made a dive to a depth of 3 m in the open sea. Four underwater speakers arranged on the horizontal plane at 90-degree intervals and at a distance of 5 m from the diver were used for testing pure-tone hearing thresholds (PTHT), the reception threshold for the recorded sound of a rubber-boat engine, and sound localization. For sound localization, the sound of the rubber boat's engine was randomly delivered by one speaker at a time at 40 dB HL above the recorded sound of a rubber-boat engine, and the diver was asked to point to the sound source. The azimuth was measured by the diver's companion using a navigation board.
Underwater PTHT with both masks were significantly higher for frequencies of 250 to 6000 Hz when compared with the thresholds on land (p < 0.0001). No differences were found in the PTHT or the reception threshold for the recorded sound of a rubber-boat engine for dry or wet ear conditions. There was no difference in the sound localization error between the regular mask and the ProEar 2000 mask.
The presence of air around the pinna and inside the external ear canal did not improve underwater hearing sensitivity or sound localization. These results support the argument that bone conduction plays the main role in underwater hearing.

An extra fascinating function is the complete tiny as well as functionality. To maintain your meal warm or to incorporate cooking time and power to brown your meals, use this function to contain about a minute oven period essentially. This function can be useful in reheating pre-serve meals such as for instance soups, beverages and sauces. This could also be your favourite functionality.
A genuine convection oven, or referred to as Western at times, goes 1 distinct phase further. Instead of blowing surroundings and warmed to a temperatures deliver cooking, the fan inside a convection cooker European blows atmosphere heated, decreasing cooking food period will undoubtedly be longer. In spite of the truth that it does take time to make some rapidly to the specialty cooking machine you wonder how you ever resided with out getting them.
Additionally, a new toaster, as a bit is integrated by it misleading title, is a small oven that can manage a quantity of tasks low as cooking, frying and boiling. It in fact consists of variable racks. In addition, quite a few toasters many configurations that might consist of pastries and ice-configuration so that components for a extended time to preheat or roasted.
Amongst the devices which are obtaining enhanced much more than the years to support with creating people’s cooking lifetime easier could be the microwave variety. Microwave assists males and ladies make cook meals or reheat meals a lot faster spacemaker toaster oven though it will not replace the stove or the gasoline selection but this item is really advantageous especially to these folks who live an effortless pace life.
Another superb benefit of a turbo oven is its lower cooking temperature in comparison to a frequent oven. As a result, significantly much less money is spent to pay utility bills. A lot like a microwave stove, a turbo stove comes as on the range, constructed-in, countertop or industrial convection assortment. Among all of them, the most typical sort is the tabletop or countertop oven with convection. This is surprising hardly.
Adding this appliance to the kitchen artillery is actually a enormous advantage simply because of its wide variety of abilities. This tool can be utilized for from warming up leftovers to cooking muffins and cooking meals a full meals. Oster gives regarded as the recognized truth that waiting for an oven to preheat does take time, while employing the toaster variety convection toaster oven reviews it is instant practically, not to mention that productivity is enhanced due to the truth of the inclusion of the tiny cooker. At an reasonably priced cost tag, taking into consideration most of its quite excellent functions and higher top quality, the Oster Toaster Cooker is a sensible decision for a very good kitchen.

This critical look by the New York Times at President Obama’s responses to the “Arab Spring” is very much worth reading. It describes the “hard lesson the president ha[s] learned over almost two years of political turmoil in the Arab world” as follows: “bold words and support for democratic aspirations are not enough to engender good will in this region, especially not when hampered by America’s own national security interests.”
How is it that an American president didn’t know this from the beginning? The explanation, the Times makes clear, resides in Obama’s megalomania. Thus, the Times finds that Obama’s “handling of the uprisings demonstrates the gap between the two poles of his political persona: his sense of himself as a historic bridge-builder who could redeem America’s image abroad, and his more cautious adherence to long-term American interests in security and cheap oil.”
Wouldn’t it be nice to have a president whose foreign policy rests primarily on adherence to long-term American security and economic interests, and not at all on his absurdly inflated self-image?
The Times also tells us:
Mr. Obama felt keenly, one aide said, the need for the United States, and for he himself, to stand as a moral example. “He knows that the protesters want to hear from the American president, but not just any American president,” a senior aide to Mr. Obama said. “They want to hear from this American president.” In other words, they wanted to hear from the first black president of the United States, a symbol of the possibility of change.
Wouldn’t it be nice to have a president who doesn’t suffer from the delusion that, because he is unique and so special, the world is hanging on his words?

This was my project today. I wanted to make Olivia an outfit so I am still working on the pants but I thought the top turned out pretty cute. I'm not the best sewer and don't have a lot of experience but I think I did okay for my first real clothing project. It's really not as red as it is in the pictures, it's more a pinkish color. So I didn't have a pattern so I did the best I could. I am still deciding if I should make it into a swimsuit- not this shirt, but the pattern because it would make a really cute one. The bunches in the side towards the bottom are three roses I sewed together. I will take a picture of Olivia in it later on when I have the complete outfit done. I wish I would have made it just a little looser though because of how the material is, but I still love how it turned out.

Blog by Tina McIntyre and Morgan Pinkerton, UF/IFAS Extension Seminole County
What are some commonly encountered invasive weeds in urban areas and what should I know about them?
Land managers use pesticides to eradicate established invasives, so avoiding these species not only maintains our precious Floridian food web, but reduces the amount of chemicals that are used in our natural areas. Mowing, tillage or weed-eating many of these species will not remove the plants entirely. Instead, plants can be dug up with a shovel, with the aim to remove the entire root mass. By making responsible choices and not planting invasive species, you’ll help safeguard Florida’s natural areas for future generations to enjoy. Below you will find some invasive plants commonly found in urban areas. Click the plant names to find out more information on each species.
Asparagus fern, Asparagus aethiopicus
This plant not a true fern. It is native to S. Africa, but was planted here in yards and gardens. It is important to remove this plant form your landscape because the berries that contain the seeds are dispersed by birds. Instead of planting Asparagus Fern, we recommend our native Coontie (Zamia pumila) or Dwarf Walter’s viburnum (Viburnum obovatum ‘nana’).
Balsam Apple, Momordica balsamina
This invasive Category II vine is prevalent in over 30 Florida counties. It is native to Africa. The fruits and leaves are used medicinally, but the seeds are toxic. It was likely brought to our state for that reason and escaped the cultivated area. It is in the squash family. Like the squash plants grown for food, Balsam apple also has small yellow flowers and broad leaves.
Camphor Tree, Cinnamomum camphora
Camphor tree was planted and widely used Central Florida in the 1950’s. Unfortunately, it is now a common invasive plant. The black berries are dispersed by birds and other animals. Camphor leaves smell and are the source for camphor essential oil. If you crush the leaves you will find a characteristic smell that helps identify the species. These trees become large shade trees, so care should be taken to remove small seedlings from landscape beds prior to establishment.
Chinaberry, Melia azedarach
Originally introduced through the ornamental plant industry, this plant escapes urban areas and moves to natural areas where it invades roadsides and displaces native trees. Studies have shown a cut stump treatment of 8% triclopyr is almost completely effective in eliminating Chinaberry. Herbicides should be applied before the onset of fruit production to prevent seed production. Repeat applications may also be necessary for complete control.
Chinese Tallow, Triadica sebifera (Sapium sebiferum)
This large tree can be seen in wet or dry areas. It has unique tear-drop shaped leaves. Seasonally, the leaves will turn a reddish color and the seeds form after tiny white flowers. The leaves and fruit are toxic to cattle and can cause nausea and vomiting in humans. Homeowners can help mitigate the problem of Chinese tallow trees in Florida’s natural areas by removing them from their property.
Golden rain tree, Koelreuteria paniculata
Yet another plant that was sold at nurseries for its beautiful yellow flowers and pinkish bracts (looks like a flower petal), this plant produces thousands of seeds that germinate readily in urban and rural areas. These are medium to large trees with many small leaves on one stem, giving it a whimsical feel. Koelreuteria has the ability to crowd out desired native species, so we do recommend (like Camphor and Chinaberry trees) removing established plants.
Mexican Petunia, Ruellia simplex
This plant was also available commercially and is now a headache for land managers. You shouldn’t plant Mexican petunia in your garden. Some cultivars like ‘Purple Showers’ have been tested and specifically found not to be invasive by re-seeding. However, even this cultivar is aggressive in vegetative rhizome growth. There’s also a native wild petunia, Ruellia caroliniensis, that we recommend for full sun areas instead of the invasive species.
Skunk Vine, Paederia foetida
This quick growing vine forms root tubers in the ground and smothers native trees. It stinks like cat urine and skunk, so the smell gives it away. The tubular white and purple flowers can be seen in the late summer or early fall. When removing this plant, be sure to dig up the roots as well as removing the vines.
Tuberous or Boston Sword Fern, Nephrolepis cordifolia
This fern is another that was embraced by

We have demonstrated all-optical regeneration (reshape and reamplify) at the receiver of 10-Gb/s return-to-zero (RZ) data transmitted over 30 000 km in a dispersion-managed system using cross-absorption modulation in an electroabsorption modulator at the receiver. The nonlinear optical transmission characteristic of the modulator increases the signal-to-noise ratio by preferentially suppressing the accumulated amplified spontaneous emission noise of the propagated signal. Fast recovery of the optical absorption under reverse bias allows high data-rate operation without bit-patterning effect. The error-free propagation distance of the dispersion-managed system and its performance is increased as a result of the regeneration.

A project undertaken by the UWA Oceans Institute & School of Plant Biology, Univresity of Western Australia, and supervised by Thomas Wernberg
Co-investigator: Scott Bennett, University of Western Australia
Global warming is causing temperate and tropical species to retract and expand their ranges, respectively. Range-changes are usually perceived as a continuous process but in reality discrete events often drive successive local extirpations or colonizations. The ecological effects from these events are disproportionately large when habitat-forming species that support a myriad of other species, are lost.
Figure 2. Extensive underwater forests of Australian kelp (top, photo (c) J. Costa) were wiped out in 2011 under a marine heatwave. The kelps died from extreme temperatures and, at the same time small turf-forming seaweed proliferated and tropical fish herbivores (bottom, photo (c) S. Bennett) increased in abundance. The turf seaweeds and grazing fishes now prevent the return of kelp forests.
Kelp forests (Ecklonia radiata) are prominent temperate marine habitats in Australia and New Zealand. Like forests on land they play a pivotal role as food and shelter for other organisms, including unique fish and invertebrate communities. The critical ecological importance of kelp forests implies that their local extirpation has the potential to cause wholesale shifts in the community structure and ecosystems services provided by local reefs, including catastrophic impacts on valuable temperate reef fisheries (click here to watch a short video about Australia’s Great Southern Reef).
In 2011, southwestern Australia experienced an unprecedented ‘marine heat wave’ where sea temperatures soared to 3-5 °C above normal, and remained elevated for several weeks. Prior to the heatwave, kelp forests covered over 70% of reef surfaces at typical coastal locations in the region. Observations to date suggest the heatwave and subsequent warm summers resulted in widespread loss of kelps and an increase in tropical seaweeds, fish and invertebrates. This process is known as ‘tropicalisation’ and it is an increasingly common phenomenon. This project aimed to quantify recent changes in the distribution and abundance of temperate and tropical organisms in southwestern Australia. It also identifed subsequent changes in ecological processes (recruitment, herbivory) with the potential to promote or retard ecosystem recovery.
Our research established that kelp forests had contracted ~100 km south during the heatwave (Wernberg et al. 2016). At the same, turf algae proliferated and warm water seaweeds, fishes, invertebrates and corals increased while cool water species decreased (Bennett et al. 2015, Wernberg et al. 2016, Zarco-Perello et al. 2107, Tuckett et al. 2017) (click here to watch a short video about the devastation from the 2011 marine heatwave).
On some of the worst affected reefs, herbivory from warm-water fishes increased by ~400%, rivalling grazing rates on healthy coral reefs and making it highly unlikely kelp forests could recover (Bennett et al. 2015). However, tropical rabbitfish also recruited where the kelp forests remained reasonably intact and here they have decimated kelp cover y as much as ~60% on some reefs (Zarco-Perello et al. 2107).
Translocation experiments and physiological experiments revealed a link between temperature anomalies, thermal safety margins and the physiological performance of seaweeds in warming water (Bennett et al. 2015, Xiao et al. 2015, Wernberg et al. 2016).

NestJS is a framework designed for crafting efficient and scalable server-side applications in NodeJS.
In MapleStack, NestJS plays a crucial role. It’s the foundation for the code that handles everything that happens on the server — like responding to API requests, managing data scraping, reacting to specfic events and keeping scheduled tasks running smoothly.
- Quick Setup: You can get an API up and running with a basic set of endpoints quickly.
- Helpful Modules: NestJS comes with a lot of built-in helpers for tasks like user authentication, data validation, and logging, which saves time.
- TypeScript Support: It uses TypeScript, which makes your code more predictable, easier to maintain, and less prone to errors.
- OpenAPI Spec Compatibility: This ensures that you can share your API schema in a standard way.
- Opinionated Framework: NestJS has its own way of doing things, which, while streamlined, might not mesh with everyone’s preferred workflow.
- Learning Curve: The framework’s reliance on advanced concepts such as Dependency Injection, Decorators, and Reflection can be daunting for newcomers.
NestJS stands out as a robust backend framework. It’s not just about handling requests; it’s about offering a structured approach to help with the repetitive decisions developers face when building backend services. It enabled me focus more on creating unique features and business logic that distinguishes MapleStack.
That’s the rundown for this week. You can catch up on MapleStack’s components through my earlier posts on building MapleStack.
Looking ahead: I’ll be talking about React and its role in MapleStack next week!

Waveguided, High Resolution, Very Fast Acousto-Optic Tunable Filter
Agency / Branch:
DOD / MDA
The goal of the proposed Phase I work is to demonstrate the feasibility of integrated 1.55 mm acousto-optic tunable filters (IAOTF), and to establish the technical foundation for the fabrication of the tunable filter. This device can be very small, rigid,and stable in the wide range of environment conditions. This proposed innovative approach will permit the development of integrated tunable filters capable of advanced performance for commercial and military applications. This tunable filter could be metto standard grid for channel spacing of 100 GHz, higher spectral resolution, a tuning range covering the entire EDFA, and a very fast response time. This filter also permits simultaneous and independent selection/routing of many wavelength channels, and isdesigned for multi-channel dense WDM filters, routers, switches, and fast scans optical spectrum analyzers.This integrated acousto-optic tunable filter will permit simultaneous and independent selection/routing of many wavelength channels, and is designedfor multi-channel dense WDM filters, routers, switches and fast scans optical spectrum analyzers.

Saoirse Ronan and Gemma Arterton are up to play the leads in the female vampire movie “Byzantium” says The Hollywood Reporter.
Moira Buffini penned the script about a mother vampire who turns her own daughter into a vampire. The pair form a lethal partnership, sometimes posing as sisters.
Filmmaker Neil Jordan (“Interview with the Vampire,” “The Crying Game”) is set to direct the $11 million project which begins shooting in October.
Stephen Woolley, who has worked on several films with Jordan over the past three decades, will produce.

Sudarshan Kriya Experience Of Tan Shan Xian, Malaysia:
Hi, my name is Tan Shan Xian. I am from Malaysia. I am a student right now. My experience of Sudarshan Kriya has been wonderful, recharging, its a fascinating technique to rejuvenate our soul. It makes us more energetic. I find myself more focused with improved level of understanding with better memorizing patterns. Now I have the capacity to think more logically. Its like, when I am studying science subjects, I am able to practically implement my knowledge and imagine things in a much clear and better way instead of just by hearing them.My thought productivity has increased. Sudarshan kriya is something mystical and very powerful. I can feel the energy flow within me once I am done with my Sudarshan Kriya. So I hope all of you continue practicing it everyday, since it’s quite beneficial for you. Just do it you will feel the energy coming within you.
Sudarshan Kriya is a powerful breathing technique cognized by spiritual leader Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. The technique, taught in the Art of Living Happiness program, has benefited millions of people across all walks of life – youth, corporate executives, trauma affected, underprivileged, children and homemakers.

Andrea Betancourt from Global Infrastructure Basel Foundation (GIB) represented the FAST-Infra Label Secretariat at the PPPAmericas Global Infrastructure Summit focusing, speaking at a crucial panel on "Climate-smart structuring" in the Public Track. The virtual event brought together esteemed experts in the field to address pressing issues related to climate change and infrastructure development.
Panelists from various organizations graced the event, including Fernando Pieroni from the Semeia Institute, Michelle Young representing the Development Bank of Jamaica, and Andrea Betancourt from the Global Infrastructure Basel Foundation (GIB). The panel was skillfully moderated by Juan Pablo Bonilla from the IDB. The primary focus of the discussion was on building a portfolio of climate-smart infrastructure projects to bolster infrastructure investment, tackle climate change impacts, and foster replicable PPP (Public-Private Partnerships) models across Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) countries. It is projected that by 2050, LAC nations will bear annual climate change-related costs equivalent to 2-4 percent of their GDP, emphasizing the urgency of integrating climate considerations into evolving PPP models.
The panelists emphasized the significance of PPPs as they encourage private sector innovation and provide a balanced allocation of risk between private and public actors. By incorporating climate change issues into PPP models, it becomes possible to create synergies between infrastructure development and environmental conservation. Throughout the discussion, the panelists shared key insights and successful case studies from the region and beyond, highlighting the transformative potential of sustainable PPPs in traditional sectors. The need to create climate-smart infrastructure and foster resilient partnerships was underscored, aiming to mitigate and adapt to the adverse effects of climate change while creating a positive impact on the environment. Andrea Betancourt shared how the FISI label could help governments embed sustainability requirements in an efficient manner into their tendering processes, whilst ensuring that sustainability, climate change adaptation and resilience criteria are embedded into infrastructure projects from the planning stages.
The event brought together stakeholders, policymakers, and experts to lay the groundwork for collaborative efforts in the region's infrastructure development journey. With climate change looming as a formidable challenge, the discussions and ideas put forth in this panel contribute significantly to shaping the future of climate-smart infrastructure projects in LAC countries.

The project is a speed checker system that can detect rash driving and any kind of speed violation on highways and alert the traffic authorities. The conventional system uses a handheld radar gun which is aimed at the vehicle to record its speed and if there is any speed violation, nearest police station is informed. This process involves a lot of time consumption. Hence the proposed system is used to check the speed by calculating the time taken to travel between two set points at certain distance.
An IR transmitter and a receiver are installed on the set points on either side of the road. A control unit calculates the time taken by the vehicle to travel from one set point to other and calculates the speed that is displayed on seven segment display. If the calculated speed limit exceeds the set speed, a buzzer is sound which alerts the road transport authority.

Residents of the Foothills experienced temperatures as low as 27 degrees when a cold front hit the Southland over the past several days, but temperatures are expected to hit the mid-70s as the week draws to a close.
While frigid, it definitely hasn't been the coldest January on record, said Bill Patzert, a Jet Propulsion Laboratory climatologist.
"This is not the coldest ever, for sure," he said. "For wimpy Southern Californians, it's a shocker."
The winter season has been relatively dry, with the region receiving only about 60% of its normal rainfall, Patzert said.
Globally, last year was among the 10 hottest years on record. Patzert said global warming has heated up the planet for the past half century. "We're living in a warmer world."
A Descanso Gardens official reported that some of their tropical plants and succulents sustained frost damage.
"The tendency is for us to always get frost, but this is particularly bad," said Rachel Young, Descanso's garden manager. She added that this has been the worst frost experienced at the botanical showplace in the past five years.
She said the practice is to leave the damaged material on the plant to prevent further exposure to frigid temperatures and to protect the stems.
But there are some plants that prefer nippy conditions, she said.
"Right now, we're planting tulip bulbs, and they like cold temperatures, so it's actually good that it's cold," said Young.
Ski resort Mt. Waterman, located about 34 miles north of La Cañada Flintridge, needs at least two feet of snow to drop before they can open for business. They've had about 6 to 8 inches since Friday.
"The storms are coming," said Beth Metcalf, the resort's ticket sales manager. "We need at least two feet, if not more. We're just hoping and praying."
The resort did not receive enough snow to open last winter season.
"If we're dry again this season, it'll be bad," said Metcalf, whose older brothers, Rick and Brien Metcalf, co-own the resort with fellow La Cañada High School graduates Roberto Martinez and Craig Stewart.
The resort sold several Groupon tickets last year, leading to a slew of complaints on its Facebook page from disgruntled residents who couldn't hit the slopes in December. Metcalf said that all Groupon vouchers sold last year will be valid when the hill opens.
Mt. Waterman doesn't have the funds or resources to make any snow, so local skiers and snowboarders must rely on the weather.
Metcalf said the snow they received last week was scattered, with some rocks still showing, but she remains optimistic that a storm will hit soon. "We're always positive on the hill, no matter what."

Aluminium is a material with very good forming and machining possibilities. High cutting speeds, low tool wear and low tool costs are important advantages that make aluminium easy to machine. Furthermore, there are many options for electrochemical processing of the aluminium surface to produce new surface properties or apply colours. ProfilGruppen offer a complete machining and fabrication facility that gives you many opportunities for adapting an aluminium extrusion to your exact needs.
CNC is an abbreviation for Computer Numerical Control, a method of controlling machinery in the manufacturing industry, such as lathes, drills etc. with computers. The aim is to be able to manufacture complicated products rationally. CNC machines have at least three axis, X, Y and Z but can be found with up to seven axis. CNC machining is carried out in vertical or horizontal machines. Aluminium can be machining at very high speed with good tool life, little lubrication and yields excellent surface finishes. There are great opportunities for working with modular fixtures, which provides rational and effective production.
Cutting is usually carried out in circular saws and gives a finish of 3–5 Ra.
Milling takes place at a high number of revolutions and gives a finish of 1–3 Ra.
Drilling provides good results if special aluminium drills are used.
Turning with a rotating work piece is a process that provides very good finishes.
Threading with a screw cutting tool is performed both internally and externally.
Punching is often a cost-effective method that requires a certain investment in tools.
Deburring of sharp section surfaces is usually done with rotating brushes.
Aluminium is soft and flexible during manufacturing and machining but the material also develops a natural surface layer of aluminium oxide, which is very hard, second only to diamonds. This surface layer provides very good protection against wear and tear and corrosion. By strengthening the oxide surface layer through the controlled process of anodisation, the material properties can be further enhanced.
Anodisation is an electrochemical method of surface conversion. The aluminium parts are jigged and then pass through a rigorous multi-bath cleaning process. After cleaning, they are immersed in a bath of sulphuric acid at a temperature of 20°C and a DC current is passed through the material, which improves the surface layer strength by up to 3,000 times. The thickness of the anodised layer is directly determined by the immersion time and current. Finally, the aluminium parts are rinsed in a bath of deionised water in order to create a surface that is entirely free of pores.
For aestetic applications, the metal can be dyed in many different colours and long-length extrusions up to 7.5 m can be anodised in a range of UV resistant shades from natural to black. ProfilGruppens short-piece anodisation process can handle components of up to 1.6 metres. The customer can choose from an almost unlimited number of colours, which are not, however, UV resistant.
Alutin is ProfilGruppens’ unique process for converting the inert anodised surface into one which is electrically conductive. Environmentally, Alutin is better than many conventional methods, such as, for example, nickel or gold chromating. By adding tin to the anodisation process, a natural-coloured surface layer that conducts electricity is achieved. This improves earthing conditions in certain electrical devices enclosed in aluminium cases. This characteristic is particularly beneficial in applications where EMS is important, for example, the electrical and telecommunications industries. It is also a very cost effective solution by comparison.
Painting is a flexible method of providing aluminium with a durable colour or surface finish. By working closely together with co-suppliers, we offer powder coating in a wide range of colours.
An aluminium extrusion can be given the desired form through bending. One of the great advantages of this method is the ability to create a finished component from a single extrusion instead of joining together several parts. Extrusions up to seven metres long can be machined using a number of different methods. The method that is used in each individual case is determined by the size of the production run, radii, force of bending and tolerances.
Tensile bending is a method that provides great accuracy of radii and bend angle. Tensile bending is a CNC controlled process that is often suitable for medium-sized and large runs. Tooling investment is required for each extrusion section and there is often a great deal of opportunity for automation.
Roller-bending is suitable for components with large radii and which do not require precise form tolerances. The tooling investment is relatively low.
Stretchforming stretches the material beyond the yield point. This method provides a high degree of accuracy. Tooling and capital costs are high thus making the method relatively expensive.
Press bending is a cost-effective method for large runs and provides good accuracy. The investments in tools is relatively high and they are dedicated to each individual extrusion

Change the Narrative Fellow featured in The New York Times: “Can You Buy A House In Your 20’s?”
As a member of our second cohort of Change the Narrative Fellows, Akirah Pressley delved into the themes of housing, gender, and economic security during her time with the Change the Narrative Fellowship. She was recently interviewed and featured in The New York Times for an article written by journalist Jessica Fu about the accessibility of homeownership and its important role as a tool for building wealth.
A snippet from the article:
“While homeownership is a wealth-building tool, it’s not accessible to all Americans. Racial chasms in homeownership persist in large part because of the long-tail effects of racially exclusionary housing policies, like redlining and predatory lending. Black households on average have significantly less wealth than white ones, which translates into less money that families can pass down to support younger members in buying a home.
In recent years, local governments and nonprofits have introduced a range of initiatives aimed at helping low-income residents buy their first home.
Two years ago, Akirah Pressley, then 29, accomplished her goal of becoming a homeowner. Born and raised in Philadelphia, Ms. Pressley moved around a lot as a child, frequently shuffled from one guardian to another. When she became a young mother, she dreamed about owning a house and giving her children the stability she never had.”
“It was an overwhelming feeling,” Ms. Pressley said about the moment she signed the papers and became a homeowner. “It was also relief. It was excitement. It was heavy tears. It was amazement.” She considers that milestone “the greatest achievement in my life.”

Former Everton youngster Isaac Price has now revealed why he turned down a new contract at the club earlier this summer.
Reported via the Liverpool Echo, Price said: “Everton didn’t want me to leave. They wanted me to sign a new contract, but I was convinced of the idea of joining Les Rouches and taking a step forward for my career.”
He continued: “I’ve hardly ever played in the first team before, so I have to understand the game and adapt to it. I felt it was the right time to take a big step in my career.
“It is a big opportunity for me to play regularly and progress in a first-team environment. I came to the stadium last season, and when I saw the fans, I really wanted to be part of the club.”
MORE EVERTON STORIES
Fans will hope that Everton did not lose out on potential talent Isaac Price due to recent poor form
Isaac Price made three senior appearances for the Toffees but clearly relished the opportunity for further first-team football, which he may not have had at Goodison Park.
Everton’s precarious circumstances in recent seasons have limited the number of academy graduates making the step into the first-team, with more senior figures relied upon to sustain the club’s top-flight status.
At just 19-years-old, Price has already represented Northern Ireland at senior level, and could’ve been a player the Blues loaned out to develop, as with the likes of Stanley Mills who is on loan at Oxford United and Lewis Warrington now at Plymouth Argyle.
However, this feels like a missed opportunity by the Toffees as no doubt Price has bags of potential and will likely do well at Standard Liege.

NVIDIA has just announced their GeForce RTX 40 series laptop GPUs, which is designed for power users looking for the fastest performance possible. The new line of cards will come with Max-Q technology, which is designed to optimize the entire system, including graphics, storage, and networking. This allows for the highest performance available in the market, while maintaining the size of the notebook. These cards are also designed to run games smoothly and efficiently.
Top-end RTX 4090
Nvidia announced a new line of GeForce RTX 40-series laptop graphics cards at CES 2023. The chips will have massive performance gains over last generation’s RTX 30-series cards. They will also be up to three times more power-efficient than their predecessors. Besides offering powerful gaming, the GPUs are designed to accelerate data science and 3D design workloads.
Powered by Nvidia’s Ada architecture, the new laptop GPUs deliver the largest generational leap in power efficiency. Coupled with Intel’s upcoming Raptor Lake-H CPU series, the GPUs deliver up to one-third more performance than previous silicon.
At the same time, Nvidia’s Ada-based laptop GPUs also include a suite of features designed to enhance ray-tracing and visual fluidity. These include DLSS 3, which is a software tool designed to improve the fidelity of video games.
Although Nvidia doesn’t yet have a full list of laptop models, it’s expected that the RTX 40-series will be available in pre-built PCs from various manufacturers. Some of the most important models will be produced by MSI, Gigabyte, Alienware, and Palit.
Besides the high-end RTX 4090, the laptop GPUs will come in RTX 4070, RTX 4050, and RTX 4060 varieties. Those GPUs are said to be fast enough for 1440p gaming at up to 80 frames per second.
AI can speed up workflows in 3D rendering
The use of artificial intelligence (AI) to speed up workflows in 3D rendering is gaining traction in the industry. These technologies can help improve the overall quality of output. It also helps automate parts of the process. For example, Adobe Dimension, a part of Adobe Photoshop, uses AI to accelerate render times.
A key part of the workflow is creating realistic materials. This can be time-consuming. To help artists, NVIDIA offers a library of 2,000 high-quality materials. Using photogrammetry techniques, they created the library.
Artists can use the Image to Material feature to create realistic textures from photos. Recently, Substance Alchemist added AI to this feature.
The GeForce RTX 30 Series GPUs is also utilizing AI to increase speed and performance in creative workflows. By using AI, designers can focus more time on creativity and less on manual tasks.
With the new June NVIDIA Studio Driver, reliability and stability were improved. The driver also optimized new features in Blender version 3.2 and BorisFX Sapphire release 2022.5. Moreover, Topaz Denoise AI 3.7.0 was optimized for the June Studio Driver.
Similarly, SpatialLabs’ Model Viewer allows users to quickly convert 2D content into stereo 3D. Combined with an exclusive Studio Driver, these tools can enhance workflows.
Max-Q advanced suite of technologies aimed at optimizing the entire laptop
The new NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 Series Laptop GPUs delivers up to four times faster performance in AAA games and blazing-fast acceleration in popular creative apps. They feature fifth-generation Max-Q Technologies and NVIDIA DLSS 3 to optimize the entire laptop, including battery life, thermals, acoustics, and the entire system. These laptops can run graphically intense AAA games at high resolutions using ray tracing, DLSS, and Broadcast AI effects.
A new AI-powered Dynamic Boost 2.0 automatically delivers power between the GPUs. This technology allows for ultra-slim gaming laptops, delivering power to each GPU at the right time. It also reduces temperature.
The RTX 40 Series Laptop GPUs takes advantage of the NVIDIA Studio ecosystem, which includes preinstalled Studio software, color-accurate displays, collaboration tools, and more. In addition, GeForce RTX 40 Series laptops support NVIDIA’s Omniverse, a cloud-based service that gives users exclusive access to AI-powered apps.
Using a new AV1 encoding system, the GeForce RTX 4080 and 4090 GPUs can export videos up to twice as fast as they were on previous models. In addition, dual AV1 encoders can be enabled in top video editing apps for even faster video export.
GeForce RTX 40 Series laptops are up to three times more energy efficient than their predecessors. In fact, the RT

Deep-Sea Mining Could Harm Whales and Dolphins, Too
Blue whales are the largest animals on Earth, but that didn’t save them when commercial whaling wiped out as much as 97 percent of their numbers. Today, the aquatic giants are still considered Endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List, and while their numbers are increasing, they still face threats including vessel strikes and the climate crisis. Now, a new threat may be looming on the horizon: deep-sea mining.
Blue whales are one of the 22 to 30 species of cetaceans — the order that includes whales, dolphins and porpoises — that have been documented in the Clarion Clipperton Zone (CCZ), a region in the Pacific Ocean where testing for deep-sea mining has already begun. That’s one of the findings from a Greenpeace Research Laboratories and University of Exeter led study published in Frontiers in Marine Science this month, which researchers believe is the first to look at how deep-sea mining might impact cetaceans.
“Our primary finding is we don’t know how important these habitats are for these species, we don’t know which species are really using them. And then also, [on] the flip side, we don’t know so much about what the effects of mining might be in future,” study co-author and lecturer in ecology at the University of Exeter Dr. Kirsten Thompson told EcoWatch in an interview.
The Precautionary Principle
The new paper is the fourth in a series of studies Thompson has helped author that turn a critical look at deep-sea mining, the term for removing mineral deposits from the ocean floor below around 656 feet. The first two, published in 2018, focused on impacts to little understood deep-sea ecosystems and difficulties with governing the process. The third, published in 2021, challenged the notion that mining the seabed is necessary to secure enough of certain types of metals and minerals required for the renewable energy transition. Most of the environmental work on deep-sea mining to date has focused on the “irreversible damage” it could do to vulnerable seafloor ecosystems, but the new paper suggests that larger and more mobile marine animals like whales and dolphins are unlikely to remain unscathed.
“Here’s another species group that is facing a huge number of stresses from other human activities and other changes to the oceans and has also, for some species, still not recovered from centuries of exploitation,” Thompson said.
While marine mammals in general are better studied than deep-sea biodiversity — only around a fifth of marine species have even been described by scientists — those studies typically occur close to shore or to islands. There is much that researchers don’t know about how cetaceans interact with the open ocean areas that would be the focus of mining. The CCZ, for example, is an approximately 11,650,000 square kilometer (4,498,090 square mile) stretch of ocean between Mexico and Hawaii with an average depth of 5,500 meters (approximately 18,045 feet), where 17 exploratory mining licenses have already been granted. Using data from the Ocean Biodiversity Information System-Spatial Ecological Analysis of Megavertebrate Population (OBIS-Seamaps), the researchers were able to map where cetacean sightings overlapped with the CCZ. They found that it provided habitat for several species including blue whales, humpback whales, sperm whales, minke whales, beaked whales, Risso’s dolphins and dwarf and pygmy sperm whales.
“Although more survey data are needed to determine temporal and spatial use of the CCZ by cetaceans, available data clearly confirm the presence of the aforementioned species in the region,” the study authors wrote.
How might deep-sea mining in the CCZ harm the whales and dolphins that pass through?
“I think primarily something that sticks out is that it’s an industry that’s likely to emit quite a lot of noise, and for certain species that is a real problem,” Thompson said.
Mining would likely persist 24-hours a day at frequencies that could make it harder for whales to communicate and therefore lead to changes in their behavior. For example, one study found that existing underwater noise increased the risk that mother humpback whales would become separated from their calves because the human-caused noise would drown out the whales’ calls.
While there are many uncertainties about exactly what frequencies deep-sea mining would emit, Thompson argued that decision makers should approach deep-sea mining from the precautionary principle that potential harms should be avoided.
‘It shouldn’t have any commercial reality at all given how little we know,” Thompson said.
Thompson’s concern is one shared by many scientists. She is one of 704 marine science and policy experts who has signed a call for a global moratorium on deep-sea mining until its environmental impacts can be truly assessed and understood. Yet the

People in charge of the city have decided to start a project called the “Gandhara Triangle Project” on the Grand Trunk Road to make money that can be used to buy land in Zone III.
It’s said that the CDA told the federal commission that it is supposed to change the master plan of Islamabad about the project’s specifics.
They said at a meeting of the commission on Friday, it was noted that the money from the project could be used to buy land in Zone III.
Zone III is made up of about 51,000 acres out of the total of about 20,000 acres of land that hasn’t been bought or given away. The commission talked about different ways to buy land in Zone III and make new bylaws for Sub-Zone ‘D’ of Zone IV.
The money from the scheme will be used to buy private land in Zone III, a meeting was told.
The sources say that the commission wants to send a summary to the federal government about the land that hasn’t been bought yet in Zone III. It was said that the CDA won’t force people to give up their land. Instead, the locals won’t be able to sell their land on the open market.
Those who live in a city will be told that they can sell their land whenever they choose to do so to the CDA. The CDA will pay them according to rates set by the Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA). The land that was bought from the locals will be added to the national park area, making it bigger.
This isn’t true, though. The commission thought that there would be no pressure on people to give up their land for the CDA. Instead, they thought that it would be up to them whether they wanted to use or give up their land. But they won’t be able to sell the land on the open market unless the federal cabinet gives them the go-ahead.

It was told by CDA officials that if the federal government lets locals keep their land from being sold in the open market, the CDA will pay them when it gets money from the Gandhara Triangle project.
If someone wants to sell his house, he doesn’t know what he can do about it yet. There was no plan to decide the fate of houses.
During the last meeting, the voluntary acquisition of land in Zone III was talked about, a member of the commission told Dawn.
As you can see, this is very clear: “We will not be forced to buy things.” However, a proposal is being worked on that could be brought to the cabinet for the government to buy land on its own, he said.
A retired officer of the planning wing, who didn’t want to be named, said the plan didn’t seem to work because there were a lot of people living in Zone III, like Shah Allah Ditta, Kot Hatyal, Bhara Kahu, and Banigala.
For example, if someone sells a five-marla vacant plot in a very crowded area, what will the CDA do with it? When a person sells their three-story house to the CDA, what will happen to the house? How will the CDA add the house to the national park?
The CDA should make bylaws like those for Zone III and Zone IV’s sub-Zone D, he said. Other than the populated areas of Zone III park, there isn’t any private land in Zone III that isn’t owned by the park. It should also be paid to the land owners after they get their money from the Gandhara Triangle Project,
It’s in Zone I. It’s at the start of Margalla Road in Sangjani, on the border of Zone I and Zone III. CDA officials told Dawn that the project is in Zone I.
They said the site was near GT Road, next to B-17, and the triangle-shaped scheme, which covers 74 acres, has a lot of room for a lot of money. The plan has five apartment towers, a mega shopping centre, farmland plots, a movie theatre, and more.
It has a lot of potential because it is in a good place. An official from the CDA said that GT Road and Margalla Road are both ways to get to the area.
It was planned a long time ago, but the civic agency didn’t start it because of the influence of some housing groups, said the officer. There are plans now for it to be used by people who work for a city agency, he told me.
CDA plans a Gandhara Triangle Project along the G.T. Road.
The commission also talked about Zone IV’s sub-zone D. Over 23,000 acres make up the sub-zone. It could provide

Several methods for measuring neutron flux and neutron energy spectra in and around reactors are discussed, including proton recoil spectroscopy, crystal spectroscopy using thallium activated lithium iodide, photographic plates and emulsions, and activation analyses. For irradiation tests in high flux intensity reactors where space is severely limited and gamma intensity is high, activation analysis appears to offer the best means for determination of the irradiation test flux environment. Techniques of activation analysis are reviewed under the subjects of thermal flux monitors, fission detectors for both thermal and high-energy neutrons, charged particle neutron-proton and neutron-alpha reactions, neutron-neutron (n, n1 and n, 2n) reactions, and resonance reactions. Practical methods are presented for optimum use of these reactions in obtaining the required information concerning the test environment. Instrumentation available is reviewed and advantages and disadvantages are assessed.
Five methods of analyses of activation data are briefly described that range from the simplest calculations required for minimum information to the most complex methods that, with the aid of high-speed electronic computing machines, reproduce incident spectra with high-energy resolution. Finally procedures are recommended for tailoring the requirements of the experiment to the experimental and analytical methods available.

So what is the secret to happiness and peace of mind?
It is to live in the present moment.
That sounds like something a motivational speaker would say, and how many actually do it?
The answer is - everyone.
Everyone is always living in the present moment - there is actually no escape from the present moment. If you're thinking of the past, you're doing it NOW. If you're thinking of the future, you're doing it NOW. You never move out of NOW. Time seems to float by, but do you ever leave NOW? Is there ever a time you aren't living in the present moment?
So then what's the problem? Why is there still unhappiness and a lack of peace, when we're only ever IN the present moment?
It's the very drifting of the mind to the past and future, and the solidity of belief that they are real and substantial, that causes a lack of happiness and peace of mind.
The first step is to notice the mind's tendency to drift out of the NOW. Notice how the mind creates suffering by regretting the past or anticipating the future. This is desire and fear.
All the ancient teachers, sages, and religious leaders throughout time have pointed to this one aspect of the mind as the source of suffering. Desire and Fear.
But once it is noticed how the mind does this, we're immediately beyond it, observing it. It really doesn't touch us, what the mind does. With attention, we can notice the creation of desire and fear immediately arising in our own awareness or consciousness.
And with repeated witnessing of the mind's tendencies, there comes a spontaneous realization that Happiness and Peace are the actual natural state of consciousness - the mind is an OVERLAY of seeking, searching, of finding this present moment to be just a means to an end to get something desired or avoid something feared. The only thing needed to realize Happiness and Peace of Mind is to notice that any arising of a lack of happiness and peace is only the mind's drifting. This is the basis of meditation or prayer - finding that inner silence in which the sound of thought arises.
With this realization, each moment is precious and a miracle in itself. The details, which we found so awe-inspiring as a child, are once again found to be magnificent, once the "grown-up" mind's tendencies to overlay suffering are noticed.
And in this direct realization of the preciousness and unavoidability of the NOW - it may become clear that the very person you take yourself to be, the solid and separately-existing entity which is a reference point for all the suffering, is nothing more than a presently-arising thought, a concept, a false belief. If you're aware of the mind, what you really ARE must be prior to the mind.
What you are is this pure impersonal consciousness in which the personal arises - the I AM on top of which the "I AM this and I AM that" is applied.
Yes, that image of "I" is in the past, it's a dead image, just like any memory.
In the immediacy of this moment, on the razor's edge of NOW, no "I" can be found, no "ME" really exists. The only thing that exists is just the pure actuality of what is happening, the sound of a bird singing, the hum of the computer fan, the pitter-patter of little dog feet, the sensation of breathing or heart beating. This is beyond any words, because the word is never the thing.
The "ME" only happens as a presently-arising thought, when the subject/object duality comes in - this is the nature of the mind - to separate into the object and the subject seer- ME.
So who is suffering? Isn't suffering a reference to this ME? I am sad, I am tired, I am lonely. And where, in the immediacy of this very moment, is this "I", without going into memory to recall the appearance of the false continuity of the life story?

It’s inevitable, given their political nature, that governments (local and central) are subject to “restructuring” more than most institutions. Anyone involved in architecture and urban design in Wellington will have known, for a little while now, that the urban design bits of our city council have been, and are in the middle of, such a political reshuffle. All the positions with staff with any design background (architecture, landscape architecture, industrial design) have been deleted, and staff required to apply for positions with more generic job descriptions. Well that’s my understanding at least – and apologies if I’ve got it wrong – do tell me if that’s the case!
But let’s assume the version of the story I’ve heard from different quarters is correct, what are the implications for the quality of our built environment? and should we care?
Ann McEwan’s recent talk at the City Gallery, for example, recalled the mid-century dilemmas regarding the design of council housing, quoting a young Derek Wilson, then President of our Architectural Centre, demanding the council stop the in-house design of housing because of the dire results. The line then was that the council has no business in designing. Luckily for us, so the narrative goes, private architectural firms were commissioned and the quality of housing design went up …
But, as I understand it, these “restructured” positions aren’t for staff designing in that immediate sense – but rather for staff developing policy, processing Resource Consents and hence being intimately involved with implementing the District Plan. The District Plan will always be a flawed document, try as we might to make it perfect – we have good ideas and sometimes they work, but sometimes unforeseen “difficulties” arise. It will thus always be a well-intentioned work-in-progress. The staff who interpret and ameliorate its fallout are essential to ensuring we have a vibrant built environment.
If rumours are correct (your chance to challenge these is below), it is the idea of how the DP should perform which is partly involved in this recent philosophical shift at the council. Philosophy and “vision” always underpin restructuring. Trina Saffioti’s comment on Eyeof theFish paints a utopian vision of adminstrative happiness and civic harmony… Other important people who will be implementing the new culture at the council are Jan McCredie, Manager City Strategy and Clay Johnsen, Programme Manager Urban Design & Heritage (imports from the Manukau City Council), who will be giving a presentation at the Wellington Branch AGM, next week (Tues 23rd March). It sounds like it will worth hearing of their ideas straight from the horses’ mouths, so-to-speak …
My understanding though is that, rather than maintaining the delicate balancing act of the mundane day-to-day administration of the DP through resource consenting (or not) with the longer term (and constant) rewriting of the plan, a greater emphasis is being put on “getting the DP right.” Word on the street is that the complex negotiations, which council officers commit daily in order to make the DP work (and hopefully translate its words into an “acceptable” environment), might not be getting the attention that they need. Not all building applications to council are great architecture – and some apparently aren’t even mediocre. With the thumping pressure of developers to get things built – both a good DP and council design experts (as distinct from generalists) are needed in the processing of Resource Consents. The question is what’s the right balance? and who should decide?
The focus on getting the DP right is admirable, important and needed, but in reality, it’s impossible. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try to get it right, but the District Plan is a wriggly beastie, consistently fraught and fought with – putting all our eggs (or kittens) in this basket is a high risk venture.
If attention shifts almost exclusively to this longer term goal, what happens to the city meanwhile? and what happens if the people processing Resource Consents no longer include those with knowledge of design? This is a cultural shift which might radically change the shape of our city. Possibly for the better in the long term (if the impossible happens and the DP is got right), but if the new urban designers spend their days wringing their hands, shaking their heads, and speculating on changes to the DP, rather than engaging with building applicants and their Resource Consent applications, what long-term damage might happen to our city in the short term? Is it really worth the risk to let planners (rather than designers) give the final administrative tick on what buildings will be built in Wellington?

Amir's natal family makes good on their threat to come back for her and she makes a new friend of her own in town. Welcome back to more everyday life on the plains of Mongolia in A Bride's Story Volume 2.
Note: A Bride's Story Volume 2 is, of course, the sequel to A Bride's Story Volume 1. The review of A Bride's Story Volume 1 is here. Otherwise, read on!
Amir's tale continues at the bakery, where the women in town take their dough to finish and bake it. Public ovens such as these are common in the Middle East and Asia, where it can be too expensive, time consuming and simply too hot to keep a bread oven at home. It also gives the women in town an opportunity to gather and share the gossip with each other.
Amir's still new, so she doesn't have an established clique to sit with yet. As she hangs back waiting for a spot, another young woman finally shoves the lades next to her aside and invites her over.
Her name is Pariya, and she's been having a bit of trouble finding a match. She's not nearly as demure as the rest of the women in town, and besides her breadmaking her other home skills are a bit lacking as well. She's been introduced to a few prospective suitors already, but all have declined. She's very kind and loyal to her friends, however, which Amir surely needs.
For Amir's family is back, and they've brought reinforcements. Amir, Karluk and Pariya take Mr. Smith to a mausoleum outside of town, and they get ambushed by her clan intent on kidnapping her back home. Pariya runs back to town to tell the people there what's happening, while Karluk tries his best to defend his wife.
Later that night, with everyone safely home, the raiding party attacks again. The whole town rallies around their new daughter, and fights off the men on horseback with bricks and buckets of night soil thrown from the tops of buildings.
But beyond the fighting, and where this series still excels, is showing the beauty of everyday life. As Karluk grows into the role of husband more and more, his relationship with Amir changes and matures as well. He begins to feel more comfortable around her, even starting to flirt a bit in public. He also comforts her when she is upset about her sisters dying back home at the hands of brutal husbands, and her fears of losing Karluk and her new family.
Kaoru Mori's artwork shines beautifully throughout the stories, but especially in Chapter 10: Cloth Preparation. Here, generations worth of bridal dowries are brought out to show a young girl the importance of the needlework that she's doing. Mori's almost obsessive attentiveness to detail gives a richness and depth to the patterns that a lesser artist would never attempt. This beauty and artistry must be why the chapters come out monthly instead of the brutal weekly schedule of the much less artistic One Piece or Naruto.
Mr. Smith's mail finally catches up with him here as well, as he is bidden to meet with some colleagues in a different village. As Amir and Karluk ride with him part of the way, they recite poetry that they make up as they go, and invite Mr. Smith to recite or sing along with them. As our newlywed couple turn back, we see that for a tribe in a nomadic land, farewells are just another part of life.
Highs: As awkward as Amir might feel sometimes in her new family, they do their best to make her feel welcome.
Lows: Although the moments we do see of Amir and Karluk together show their relationship developing, it would be nice to spend more time with them together.
Verdict: A beautiful story, both for its art as well as its portrayal for the characters and story within.

A steam oven can be a great tool for baking cookies, as it can help to create a more evenly cooked and moist product. However, it is important to note that steam alone will not be enough to bake most cookies; you will need to use some dry heat as well. Additionally, because steam can cause food to heat up more quickly, you will need to be careful not to overcook your cookies.
A steam oven can offer many benefits when baking cookies.
Baking cookies in a steam oven is a bit different than baking them in a traditional oven. For one, you’ll need to use less flour when dusting your work surface since the steam will help the dough to rise. Additionally, you may need to bake your cookies for a bit longer since the steam will help to lock in moisture.
There are a few things to be aware of when using a steam oven to bake cookies.
There are a few ways to tell when cookies are done when using a steam oven. One way is to look at the color of the cookies. If they are golden brown, they are most likely done. Another way is to gently press down on the center of the cookie with your finger. If it springs back up, it is probably done. Finally, you can insert a toothpick or cake tester into the center of the cookie. If it comes out clean, the cookies are ready to come out of the oven.
There are many different types of cookies, and each type has its own unique baking requirements. While some cookies can be baked in a steam oven without any problems, others may not turn out as well.
For example, delicate or fragile cookies such as meringues or macarons should not be baked in a steam oven, as the steam can cause them to collapse. Similarly, chewy cookies such as molasses or gingerbread cookies may become too soft if baked in a steam oven.
On the other hand, crisp and crunchy cookies such as shortbread or sugar cookies can benefit from the added moisture of a steam oven, resulting in a softer and more delicate texture. If you’re not sure whether your cookie recipe will work in a steam oven, it’s best to err on the side of caution and bake them in a conventional oven instead.

Day 2 of Dickens and the Visual Imagination took us to the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Artin London. The wonderful cavern of an underground library provided the perfect setting for a day of papers that focused more specifically on art and film historians' perspectives on Dickens.
The day began with Lynda Nead's keynote "'To let in the sunlight': Dickens, Lean and the Chiaroscuro of Postwar Britain", a fascinating analysis of David Lean's 1946 Great Expectations. Nead started with some stimulating questions that pushed at the wider frameworks of the conference: what do we mean by "the visual imagination"? What is our "visual imagination" of Dickens: what do we imagine when we think of Dickens, and why? Nead began by thinking about how we read the relationship between text and film, arguing for a reciprocal relationship in which neither text nor film is privileged but rather seeing adaptation as a process of creative transformation evolving new forms and opportunities - this, she suggested, might offer one way in which to understand the concept of a visual imagination. With this in mind Nead moved on to read Lean's Great Expectations in the context of postwar Britain, providing a detailed analysis of a selection of stills from the film which focused on the complexity of Lean's use of black and white.
The use of chiaroscuro - the interplay between light and shadow- constructs a subtle "language of shadow" which achieves a rich depth to images, and constructs an aesthetic of decay and ruin which was highly resonant with the postwar Britain in which the film was produced. Nead seemed to be suggesting that the aesthetic language of the film is not "Dickensian" as such, but rather creates a visual language of its own that very much belonged to the moment in which the film was made.
The next panel on Perception and Perspective began with Andrew Mangham's paper (read by Greg Tate) on Dickens, Hogarth and Perspective, an interesting analysis that took Dickens's references to Hogarth in the preface to Oliver Twist as a starting-point for identifying a Hogarthian sense of visual perspective in Dickens's realism. Janice Carlisle followed with an exploration of Great Expectations and JMW Turner's painting; this worked towards centring Estella in the novel's visual economy, particularly in terms of how Estella constructs Pip as artist. Aleza Tadri-Friedman presented on "Art Appreciation and Visual Perception in Dombey and Son", considering the recurrence of art throughout the novel with a particular focus on how the transgressive Edith Granger is positioned within wider debates about art and perception in the nineteenth century; in another indicative text-illustration reading, Tadri-Friedman looked at the interplay between the narrative construction of Edith through Dombey and Carker, and the illustration that accompanies one key scene in this narrative.
Panel 2 explored Dickens and Painting, beginning with Dehn Gilmore's "Reading the Dickensian Gallery" which suggested ways in which art and artistic vocabulary in Dickens might offer a new way of understanding Dickens's relationship to his early reviewers. Pat Hardy's Dickens and Portraits looked at the ways in which Dickens employs the language of portrait painting, focusing on Bleak House which represents a key moment in engaging with ideas around portraiture, exploring key ideas about physiognomy and using this not only as a way in which to read individuals, but also with an interest in how people see one another. Vincent Alessi finished with a paper on the influence of Dickens on Vincent van Gogh, offering a complex examination of van Gogh's development as a painter and analysing particular paintings of or influenced by Dickens.
The day concluded with a final keynote presentation by Kate Flint on the subject of "Pavement Art". Flint began with a short story by Dickens, "His Brown Paper Parcel" ("Somebody's Luggage"; All the Year Round, 1862 Christmas edition), in which the narrator is a pavement artist: why, Flint asked, would such a figure be so interesting to Dickens? In what followed, Flint offered a wonderfully rich exploration of pavement artists in the nineteenth century and explored the questions raised through this unique form of visual culture. Pavement art occupies an interesting, often contradictory, space: it is emphemeral yet immobile/immoveable; outside of institutions and the marketplace, yet necessarily public and invites the viewer to participate in a form of artistic patronage; often produces a copied image but never produces a definitive replica and depends upon being constantly reproduced; creates delight amongst its audience through the process of its creation more than in existing as a finished product.

Lots of see households in poverty and seek to assist. Others see families in poverty and see chances for revenue.
Here are six examples of billion dollar industries which are built on separating poor individuals, especially individuals of color, from their cash, the reverse Robin Hood.
Inspect Cashing Businesses
Inspect cashing companies. Money a $100 check? At Walmart that will be $3. At TD bank non-customers pay $5 to cash a check from their bank.
Nearly 10 million homes containing 25 million individuals do not have any bank account according to the FDIC. The majority of because they did not have adequate money to keep a minimum balance in their account.
Examine cashing business are part of a $100 billion industry of more than 6,500 check cashing businesses in the US, many which also supply money orders, energy costs payments and the like, according to statement provided to Congress by the industry.
More than 30 million individuals make use of pawn store loaning services for an average loan of $150. One company, Money America, has 84 check cashing centers and 859 financing areas in the US, over 260 in Texas alone, crossing $1 billion in pawn loans. In their 2014 annual report they disclose that 30 percent of individuals never go back to redeem the product they pawned and the sale of those items makes up over half of the company incomes. The business paid millions in penalties in 2013 for overcharging members of the armed services and filing incorrect court pleadings in thousands of cases. The CEO was provided $6 million in 2014.
Overdraft charges, when there is not enough money in the bank account or charge card to cover all purchases, is an $11 billion industry for banks, according to the Customer Financial Protection Bureau. A current New york city Times post describes how banks in some cases charge overdraft costs even when the customer has sufficient cash in their accounts to cover the purchase and were compelled to pay more than a billion dollars for manipulating the order of purchases to take full advantage of the chances that their clients will have to pay additional charges.
Payday loans are used by individuals over 15 million times a year and can result in deep debt problems and normally involve amazing percentages of up to 391 percent according to the Customer Financial Protection Bureau. Bench Charitable Trusts reported pay day loans are a $7 billion dollar a year industry. The Federal Trade Commission won a $300 million case versus two payday lenders who were tricking customers, who, for example, got a $300 loan thinking it might be paid back for $390 when in reality the loan provider was charging $975 to settle the $300 loan. The United States Department of Justice arraigned previous race car motorist Scott Tucker on criminal charges for running a $2 billion nationwide payday advance operation which regularly charged interest on loans for over 4.5 million individuals of 400 to 700 % per year. The country’s biggest pay day loan business, Advance America, charged nearly 140,000 people in North Carolina yearly percentageinterest rate exceeding 450 percent until it was stopped by the state.
Automobile Title Loans
More than 2 million individuals utilize car title loans every year, paying about $3 billion in fees each year, with typical annual percentageinterest rate of 300 percent, according to the Pew Charitable Trusts. The Center for Responsible Loaning approximates there are over 7000 companies which lend cash to individuals based upon holding the title to their automobiles, normally charging up to 300 percent yearly interest, which they market as 25 percent per month. The average borrower gets a loan of $951 and pays off $3,093.
Financial obligation collection is a $13 billion dollar a year market employing more than 140,000 employees in 6,000 companies, according to the federal Consumer Financial Defense Bureau.
Financial obligation collectors make more than 1 billion (yes with a b!) contacts with customers each year, according to their own industry newsletter. Twelve million individuals (5.3 percent of consumers) are at least Thirty Days behind on their payments, according to the Urban Institute. Thirty-five percent of all grownups with credit files, 77 million individuals, have debt in collection reported in their files. Pro Publica reviewed five years of court judgments and discovered the rate of judgements was twice as high in mostly black neighborhoods as it was in white ones.
The Customer Financial Protection Bureau has over 74,000 grievances about inappropriate financial obligation collection, its number one grievance, according to a current report of the Alliance for A Just Society.
These are not simply small companies but huge names like Citigroup, Capital One, JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America and Wells Fargo, in truth the Alliance for Just Society reported the big companies in financial obligation collections have made almost $100 million in contributions to federal prospects and celebrations given that 2001 and another $280 million on federal lobbyists.

When you're looking for a power inductor, there are a few things to consider. In this blog article, we'll discuss the basics of the adjustable inductor and offer some important things that you should keep in mind when selecting one.
What is an adjustable inductor?
An adjustable inductor is a component that can be used to adjust the inductance of an electric circuit. This is useful when the circuit needs to have a specific inductance but does not have a fixed inductor value.
What are the benefits of an adjustable inductor?
There are many benefits to using an adjustable inductor, including more consistent power delivery, faster startup times, and reduced noise levels. Adjustable inductors can also be customized to meet specific power needs. Selecting the right adjustable inductor is important for efficient performance and reliability.
An adjustable inductor has a coil design that allows it to be tightened or loosened to change the inductance value. This makes the inductor infinitely adjustable and suitable for a variety of applications. The most common use for an adjustable inductor is in audio and telecommunications equipment, where it is used to reduce noise levels and improve power delivery.
Adjustable inductors are versatile devices that offer numerous benefits. If you need a device that can be customized to your specific needs, an adjustable inductor is a perfect solution.
How does an adjustable inductor work?
An adjustable inductor is a type of inductor that can be electronically controlled to adjust its resistance in response to the voltages applied to it. This allows the inductor to act as an electronic filter, smoothing out voltage fluctuations and providing a stable power supply.
Tips for choosing an adjustable inductor
Choosing the right adjustable inductor for your application can be a daunting task. Here are some tips to help you make a selection that is right for your needs.
1. Power and current rating: The first thing to consider is the power and current ratings of the inductor. High power ratings will allow the inductor to handle more current while low current ratings are required for small applications.
2. Coil type: The next factor to consider is the coil type. Fixed coils offer more consistent performance over time, but may require more adjustment than an adjustable coil. Varying the number of turns in the coil will affect frequency response and power handling, so it is important to choose the correct type of coil for your application.
3. Frequency range: The final consideration is the frequency range you need the inductor for. Inductors with a wide frequency range can handle a wider range of frequencies, while those with a limited frequency range are better suited for specific applications.
By following these tips, you will be able to choose an adjustable inductor that is perfect for your needs.
This article has explained what an adjustable inductor is, and how it works, and offered some tips on choosing the right one for your application. Understanding the basics of adjustable inductors will help you make the best choice for your needs. Thanks for reading!

Building for a greener future
Buildings utilize a significant percentage of energy, raw materials and electricity, as well as generate 48 percent of U.S. carbon emissions, according to the U.S. Green Building Council.
By designing, building and operating green structures and communities, the average reduction in consumed resources can be as much as 30 to 50 percent.
Buildings that consume fewer resources are a benefit to the environment decade after decade.
Through increased awareness of the impact of buildings on the environment, construction professionals - architects, engineers, builders - are finding solutions to make buildings more eco-friendly.
The three main objectives they consider are the social objective of the building, economics and sustainability.
Of course, not all builders include “sustainability” in their list of priorities, but Jane Leonard, a member of the U.S. Green Building Council San Diego Chapter board of directors and an architectural designer thinks there is a growing agreement that buildings must be greener. “There’s now a consensus that there’s now a climate change affecting our environment and that buildings are a significant component of the problem,” she said.
Leonard said there is no one solution to lessening the environmental impact of buildings. She pointed out the need for public awareness and education, because “everyone in the society is involved in the ‘built’ environment.”
Organizations such as USGBC are gaining traction and acceptance among decision-makers, as well as industry professionals.
Legislation such as California’s Global Warming Solutions Act, known as AB32, passed in 2006 to target the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, is the first comprehensive program adopted by a state. The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System, a nationally accepted benchmark, provides standards for the construction and operation of high-performance green buildings.
“Sometimes it’s hard to understand the relationship between things like energy and water,” Leonard said. “It’s not really one narrow focus on green buildings that’s going to save the world. It’s about figuring out how we live, modifying our behavior, how we use products.
“People really need to accept that there’s really no turning back from this environmental crisis we’re in. There’s so many aspects to sustainability that are going to change the way we live. It affects all of us.”

INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSAL HEALTH COVERAGE COMMEMORATION DAY is being celebrated around the world under the theme "INVEST IN HEALTH SYSTEMS FOR ALL".
During the occasion, it has been called upon partners to continue their partnership and work to rehabilitate and equip war-torn health facilities.
It has also been said that ensuring universal health care will not only improve health but also reduce poverty, improve nutrition through schooling and ensure peace and social stability. It is said community health insurance and social health insurance should be expanded to increase access to health services, strengthen local funding sources and use various initiatives.
Dr. Borima Hama Sambo, Ethiopia's Representative to the World Health Organization, on his part said that evidence shows that covid 19 has a significant impact on health financing. "In Ethiopia, in addition to covid19, the security situation in the country is disrupting the health service, he said, adding that all stakeholders should work together to continue the service."
In commemoration of the day the United Nations declared universal health coverage necessary for global development, it is designed to strengthen stakeholders’ partnerships to make health services more accessible to all.
This year, Ethiopia celebrates the need for primary health care to ensure universal health coverage and encourages actions by the government and other stakeholders.

Spiders are my worst enemy right now. Not because I had a scary sun spider crawl on me the other day. The real reason lies withing the game, Animal Crossing New Leaf. In this game I have caught a crap ton of bugs yet there is one who eludes me. The Tarantula! He only comes out at night, and he attacks me right away never giving me a chance to even raise my net. Hopefully tonight the tables will turn!
Prepare to meet Blathers you spider scum!!

Zodiac begins on what appears to be a normal day in space high school. Rhoma, or Rho for short, seems like a pretty cool chick from the start. She’s a drummer and she’s in a band with her best friend, who happens to be a Sagittarian (good choice, Rho! *says the fellow Sagittarian*). Then, BOOM! Their lives explode and they’re thrust into things they probably never imagined they’d be taking part in, especially Rho.
There’s a lot of things going on in this book, from the start. After the incident, Rho is made Guardian of House Cancer because it’s written in the stars, she begins to train with her childhood crush, and she discovers what and who it is that is wrecking havoc on the galaxy. Sometimes I just wished she’d slow down, but I understood that they were in a dire situation the whole book. And poor kid. She struggles with not being taken seriously by her advisors and the other Guardians most of the time. All she really wants to do is help. I thought Romina Russell did a good job demonstrating just how young and not ready to lead Rho was at times. I mean, Rho is only 16 years old and was about to graduate from the Academy. While her actions and thoughts felt young to me, they also felt true.
The concept was one of the things that really made me want to read this book. I don’t really know what I was expecting it to be like, but I like the world Romina has created and what I saw of it. Each planet is distinctly unique and specific to their zodiac sign. We don’t get to explore each one thoroughly but Rho talks a lot about them. Maybe we’ll see more in future books in the series.
So there’s a love triangle in this book. I know many of you are probably going to be like WHYYYYY! And I can’t tell you why, but I can tell you that it wasn’t badly done. I liked both love interests, but I wasn’t in love with either. Mathias is older (22) and protective of Rho. They disagree a lot, but it’s coming from a good place. Hysan is closer to her age, charming, and nice. They’re both cute, duh. And they both want what’s best for Rho. I thought she connected with both in different ways, but I can’t say whether one is better than the other, so, sorry I’m no help there. I like that no matter how crazy the world is at any moment in this story, there’s also time for luuuuuuurve. There’s kissing and maybe more! hehe
I thought the story was done really well. There’s a lot of it! But it didn’t make my head spin, which is good. And the last few chapters are SAD, y’all! There’s this moment near the end that I was not expecting and really hope is not really what it appears to be.
Zodiac brings lots of action, suspense, space-jet-setting (yeah, I just made that up), and romance, of course. I think it’s a good start to a very promising series.

At the dawn of time, there were 13 Houses in the Zodiac Galaxy. Now only 12 remain…
Rhoma Grace is a 16-year-old student from House Cancer with an unusual way of reading the stars. While her classmates use measurements to make accurate astrological predictions, Rho can’t solve for ‘x’ to save her life—so instead, she looks up at the night sky and makes up stories.
When a violent blast strikes the moons of Cancer, sending its ocean planet off-kilter and killing thousands of citizens—including its beloved Guardian—Rho is more surprised than anyone when she is named the House’s new leader. But, a true Cancrian who loves her home fiercely and will protect her people no matter what, Rho accepts.
Then, when more Houses fall victim to freak weather catastrophes, Rho starts seeing a pattern in the stars. She suspects Ophiuchus—the exiled 13th Guardian of Zodiac legend—has returned to exact his revenge across the Galaxy. Now Rho—along with Hysan Dax, a young envoy from House Libra, and Mathias, her guide and a member of her Royal Guard—must travel through the Zodiac to warn the other Guardians.

Will eBay be shut down?
“We’ve been proud to see our platform evolve over the past two decades. We want to continue providing customers with the best possible selling and buying experience. As a result, we are focusing on business that complements our core marketplace and discontinuing eBay Commerce Network effective May 1st, 2019.
Is eBay dead in India?
eBay India to shut down on August 14, owner Flipkart will launch new site to sell old goods.
What is eBay legal name?
The company officially changed the name of its service from AuctionWeb to eBay in September 1997, after Echo Bay Technology Group, Omidyar’s consulting firm.
Is eBay growing or shrinking?
In a call with analysts, eBay Chief Executive Jamie Iannone said the company saw a slowdown when compared with the tremendous growth initially seen in 2020, which was driven by the onset of the pandemic. The marketplace is still seeing positive growth when compared with before the pandemic, he said.
Is eBay still successful?
eBay is still one of the most popular options for listing and selling items quickly. And because it is an auction site, sellers are often able to get more than the item is actually worth. Just over 10 percent of all retail sales are via ecommerce, and sales are projected to reach $4.5 trillion in 2020.
Is eBay successful in India?
eBay is one of the leading players in the CBT space and has been in operation in India for over a decade. It provides a robust platform for Indian sellers to list and sell their products to over 182 million buyers who shop on various global platforms of eBay. eBay’s success lies in the success of its sellers.
Why did eBay stop in India?
Lack of Quality Checks. People who bought stuff from Ebay India had basic issues with the platform. There were no guarantees for the buyer or seller, which meant either of them could take the other one for a ride. People started posting offers with fake pictures of the product, which Ebay didn’t think of verifying.

Race equality in 2021; a New Year Resolution
It’s around this time of year, or last week for the well organised among us, that we take stock of our lives, resolve to do better and set ourselves a challenge.
The practice of making a resolution at the start of the year dates back to the Romans, who made a promise to the god Janus. Nowadays we resolve to do something new or something better, to enhance our lives or the lives of others (as we all know the whole point of a diet or fitness resolution is to see how long it takes us to break!).
Back in 2020 there was a seismic shift in the world’s attitude to race equality following the unlawful killing of George Floyd in the USA. The Black Lives Matter movement launched demonstrations world wide and social media was abuzz with anger and ambition, while the corporate and sport world made supportive statements, and symbolic gestures seen by millions.
So far so good…but now, in 2021, we have the opportunity to do it better. We are looking for real and lasting change in the workplace and in society. It won’t happen overnight, the struggle has been going on for centuries, but there is more awareness and collaboration now than ever before, so the momentum to tackle systemic racism must surely grow.
In business, diversity and inclusion must move away from any remnants of it being a box-ticking or PR exercise, to become a core competency, a key performance indicator, so too in the public and third sectors. Customers and employees are increasingly holding organisations to account on matters of racial equality, and no industry or sector can kick the can any further down the road.
The UK’s very first Race Equality Week is scheduled to take place between 1st and 7th February and the UK-wide initiative launched by Race Equality Matters aims to address affecting ethnic minority employees.
Race Equality Matters was founded last summer in response to the Black Lives Matter movement, and aims to turn declarations of commitment from organisations into meaningful change in society.
Kick it Out partners with Sky
The organisation which has been at the forefront of the fight against discrimination in football for 27 years, Kick it Out, has announced a three-year deal with Sky which will see the broadcaster become its media partner in the drive for inclusion in football. Sky is committing £3m and will be using its global reach to support Kick it Out.
And there is much work to be done. Despite the big strides taken in the game over the past three decades, Kick it Out’s annual report for the 2019/20 season revealed shocking increases in the levels of race hate and homophobic abuse, even though the season was put on hold for several months due to COVID-19 and reconvened with the Black Lives Matter campaign at its height.
The professional game saw a 42 per cent increase in reports of discrimination, up from 313 to 446, with a 53 per cent increase in reported racial abuse from 184 to 282. There were 117 reports of abuse based on sexual orientation, up from 60 last season.
The fact that the only openly gay footballer in England’s top tier remains Justin Fashanu, who died by suicide in 1998, tells us all we need to know.
Paul Elliott, chair of the FA’s Inclusion Advisory Board announced the creation of the Football Leadership Diversity Code back in June but, despite his highly respected voice in the game, he is yet to become the first black appointment to the FA Board.
It’s time the biggest league in the most popular sport in the world started to lead by example.
They must resolve to do better.

In recent weeks, reports have emerged that various government entities have been the target of DNS hijacking attacks. These attacks would redirect those attempting to interact with legitimate government sites and instead send them to malicious infrastructure who could engage in phishing attacks, email theft, or a wide variety of misconduct.
Third-party risk has always been an area of concern, and this is a new twist on an old problem: How do you protect yourself when a trusted partner is compromised?
- Everything on the internet begins with a DNS query and if you control DNS, you control the machine. By hijacking authoritative DNS records, attackers could redirect victims anywhere they wanted.
- Even though these attacks can be transparent to the end-user, the traffic still needs to go “somewhere”. By identifying suspect IP addresses, malicious name servers, or phishing IP addresses, it becomes possible with a DNS firewall to block these queries from redirected your users to the bad guys. It converts a silent error and successful attack, to a loud and obvious break in communication that can then be diagnosed and reported.
Want to learn more about how (and why) controlling DNS stops the threat factory and the attacks? Check it out below.

When did liquid water fill the planets? Maybe not as early as was thought...
16 January 2002Planet-like bodies with liquid water formed very early in the history of the Solar System, or so scientists used to think. That scenario may now be due for revision after a finding with ESA's Infrared Space Observatory, ISO.
The water that makes our 'Blue Planet' such a nice place to live comes from space. In fact water is a quite common compound in space. Moreover, its presence can often be used as a clue to deduce other things, such as the formation history of our Solar System. For instance, by establishing the time when liquid water was first present in our Solar System astronomers can learn, amongst other things, how long it took for planet-like bodies to form - because water in liquid form can only exist in large objects. But, how can we trace the presence of liquid water billions of years back in time? Astronomers thought they had found a way to do it, but after a new discovery with ESA's Infrared Space Observatory, ISO, they might have to review this.
To trace the presence of liquid water in the early Solar System scientists relied so far on certain minerals called carbonates, because these minerals were thought to require liquid water to form. On Earth, a large fraction of sedimentary rocks are carbonates, for instance limestone and marble; they are the sediments that precipitate when a watery solution of carbon dioxide and another mineral, such as calcium, becomes saturated - the'scale' in a tea kettle forms in the same way. And carbonates exist also in grains of dust between the planets, in asteroids and in meteorites coming from Mars, for example, in the famous meteorite ALH 84001, which some say contains fossilised bacteria.
The age of the carbonates can be clearly determined, and some very old ones had been found on certain asteroids and meteorites. So if carbonates were present a long time ago, in the young Solar System, liquid water also had to be present; and if there was liquid water, there had to be planet-like bodies, scientists thought.
The Solar System formed with residual material left-over from the formation of the Sun itself, about 5 000 million years ago. This material was swirling around the newborn Sun, forming a disc in which 'clumps' formed and began to grow by attracting more and more dust. Some of these 'condensates' ended up forming the planets. Thanks to the old carbonates scientists had been able to estimate that planet-like bodies had 'formed' already 20 million years after the formation of the first clumps in the disc around the Sun.
However, that scenario may now be due for revision. An international team has discovered, using ESA's ISO, large amounts of carbonates around two dying stars, where large bodies - and hence liquid water - do not exist. This suggests that carbonates are not necessarily linked to liquid water. The discovery, which is also the first detection of carbonates outside the Solar System, is reported in the 17 January issue of the scientific journal Nature.
"Our finding suggests that not all carbonates found in the Solar System were formed in association with liquid water, and this of course sheds new light on the formation history of the Solar System," says Ciska Kemper, of the University of Amsterdam and main contributor to the Nature article.
The stars observed with ISO are the Bug Nebula (NGC 6302) and the Red Spider Nebula (NGC 6537). As old stars usually do, they have spent the last ten thousand years expelling material through dense stellar winds. It is in that expelled material, which now forms a shell around the central star, where ISO has identified the unmistakable chemical signature of the carbonates, their'spectra'.
Such carbonates cannot have been formed through the interaction with liquid water: neither had the material from the stars sufficient time to form new planets, nor are the carbonates residual from a pre-existing planetary system destroyed by the dying star.
"The amount of carbonates we find is equivalent to at least 30 Earth masses, far too large to be the relic of a hypothetical planetary system present before the star became a planetary nebula. On the other hand, the age of the dust-shell in the nebula is about ten thousand years, which is too short for a new planetary system to form," explains Kemper.
Therefore, the carbonates around the Bug Nebula and the Red Spider Nebula must have formed through an alternative mechanism that does not involve liquid water. It means that scientists have lost their lead to trace the presence of liquid water back in time.
As for our knowledge of the Solar System history, the authors cannot say if the alternative mechanism for forming carbonates was at work also in the early Solar System. But the mere possibility of this implies that the assumption that very old carbonates signal the quick formation of planets needs to be

Are Sigma EF lenses full frame?
Sigma designed the lens is for a crop sensor (APS-C) camera rather than a full-frame camera. It has optical image stabilisation. The lens has a hypersonic motor.
Does SIGMA fit Sony?
Currently, SIGMA offers several lenses that are designed exclusively for full-frame mirrorless cameras in Sony E-Mount, as well as L-Mount Alliance cameras from SIGMA, Leica and Panasonic.
Can you put a SIGMA lens on a Canon?
A: All current production Sigma lenses for Canon autofocus cameras are fully compatible with the new Elan 7, Rebel Ti or EOS 10D camera. This includes all HSM type lenses. Some earlier production non-HSM lenses may require modification in order to perform normally with the new camera.
Does Sigma FP shoot raw?
RECORDING OPTIONS & FEATURES
By far the biggest draw about the Sigma FP is its ability to record Cinema DNG RAW. The camera can currently output 12bit RAW to an external drive in 4K (UHD) resolution, and can record 12bit internally at HD resolution.
How do you record BRAW on Sigma FP?
Luckily, the fp menus are easy to navigate. Just menu over to the yellow “System” section and select the fourth yellow tab. Select HDMI Output to “Recorded Image Output” and select the “Output Format to “RAW”. Here, directly under the Output Format you will find Resolution and Frame Rates.
How many stops of dynamic range does the Sigma FP have?
With fp L with dynamic range of 13 stops and fp with 12.5 stops, the SIGMA fp series enable video shooting with a great dynamic range.
Can you shoot raw with an SD card?
You can shoot 4K DNG RAW onto a regular UHS-II sd card using the Sigma fp, at up to 25 fps.
Where are Tamron lenses made? In other words, Tamron has lens-producing plants in the three countries of Japan, China and Vietnam, which assemble and ship the products. In Japan, Tamron’s main plants are situated in three locations in Aomori Prefecture.
Is Sigma FP weather sealed?
It’s 4.4″ (112.6mm) wide, 2.8″ (69.9mm) tall and is 1.8″ (45.3mm) deep. With its battery and an SD card inserted, the fp L weighs 15.1 oz. (427g), which is 5g heavier than the fp. The fp L is weather-sealed at 42 points.
Does Sigma FP have ibis?
This makes it similar in pricing to other 24mp mirrorless cameras, however, the Sigma fp does not include an electronic viewfinder, nor does it feature sensor-shift image stabilisation or in-body image stabilisation (IBIS), whilst most alternatives all do.
What mount is Sigma FP?
Sigma fp Specs
|Lens Mount||Leica L|
|Sensor Type||35.9 x 23.9 mm (Full-Frame) CMOS|
|Built-In ND Filter||None|
|Capture Type||Stills & Video|
Are all Sigma lens made in Japan?
We abide by that conviction with no compromise—nearly every component of every last Sigma lens is handcrafted in Japan. This opens in a new window.
What kind of company is Sigma?
SIGMA is a manufacturing company that produces and distributes digital cameras, interchangeable lenses and photographic accessories. Since our foundation in 1961, we have exclusively produced photography- and video-related products.
Why are all camera companies Japanese?
Which is better Sigma or Tamron? The results for both the Tamron and Sigma models are very similar, with the Sigma only very slightly better than the Tamron over the entire focal range. Of greater note is that both lenses are exceptionally good when compared to the Nikon 17-55mm and the Canon 17-55mm f/2.8, which are twice as expensive!
Are G master lens worth it?
Does Sony Own SIGMA?
Sigma products work with cameras from Canon, Nikon, Pentax, Sony, Olympus and Panasonic, as well as their own cameras. Sigma has also made lenses under the Quantaray name, which have been sold exclusively by Ritz Camera.
|Footnotes / references|
Are Sony lenses better than Sigma?
Both the Sony and Sigma lenses have enough apparent sharpness that crosses the

Responding to Cataclysms & Climate Change
The Earth’s climate has been unusually stable for the past 10,000 years. This is in contrast to the geologic record of the Earth’s past which is filled with examples of climate change on all scales of magnitude, including globally cataclysmic events that have permanently altered the face of the planet. Scientists agree that we are now at the beginning of a new phase of climate change. Will this be a relatively small change? One which requires only modest response from Earth’s inhabitants? Or will the climate change permanently alter the ecosystems and environments that have become established over the past 10,000 years? In this talk Professor Victor Zabielski will discuss several examples of natural cataclysms from Earth’s past to understand how the planet responded in each of the different scenarios. This record of past events will give us insights into what to expect in the near future for our planet.

This synthesis documents the state of the practice associated with designing, implementing, and operating active traffic management (ATM) on arterials. Information for this synthesis was gathered through a literature review of advanced ATM methods for arterials and in-depth telephone interviews of agencies selected through a screening interview. The study has provided information on strategies used to actively manage traffic and congestion on arterials; situations and operating conditions in which ATM strategies have been successfully and unsuccessfully deployed on arterials; and system and technology requirements associated with implementing the strategies.
Real-Time Travel Information
Bellevue, Washington has a large arterial data collection infrastructure in place and wanted to develop a means of providing this information to the public for informational purposes. The agency reports the level of congestion at intersections on a travel map using green, yellow, red, and black color codes. Colors are determined through detector occupancy. Collected data is also published to an FTP site where it can be accessed by developers, who could create their own applications to assist in route guidance, which is what many travelers want. The agency is converting the system into a GIS-based system, which will make overlays possible so developers can overlay Bellevue’s traffic data onto traffic maps. In addition to the traffic map, Bellevue has 55 cameras around the city showing local conditions. The city hopes the information will cause drivers to better spread congestion among different routes and times throughout the day.
Seattle, Washington provides traveler information via a web-based travel map, dynamic message signs (DMS), and travel cameras. This information is offered via an online portal, mobile application, and social media. The web-based traveler information map is color coded based on occupancy data collected by magnetometer sensors throughout the city, using green, yellow, red, and black. Sensors are carefully sited so they are not affected by traffic signals. Each location required a lot of fine-tuning to interpret and assign values reflecting the appropriate color codes. The 22 DMSs in Seattle warn drivers of significant transportation events while traveling, such as incidents, construction, and drawbridge openings. While these messages are the primary purpose of DMSs, some also provide travel time information to key points in the city. Travel times are measured by license plate readers (LPRs) that pair captures of the same license plates between two points and calculate the amount of time between the two captures. The web portal also has links to 130 traffic cameras. The cameras are set up in places where they have good views up and down the corridors. Most of the cameras are still shots updated every few minutes. The web portal may be accessed at: http://web5.seattle.gov/travelers/.
- In Bellevue, performance of the traffic map is measured by web site views. The traffic map is consistently in the top five of all viewed city web pages. The city also has noted the number of unique visitors jumps dramatically for severe weather events or incidents.
- In Seattle, the system successfully informs motorists about detours and other construction-related information. It has also been good from a media relations standpoint because when something happens, the city can now show the problem is being actively managed. Public officials are pleased with the system and the results. They are also getting a number of requests to use the system from various project managers in support of road closures.
- In Seattle, showing travel times on the DMSs was not a planned part of the project, but this function has been found to be an extra benefit. But consequently, not all message signs have LPRs, which means travel times cannot be shown at locations without LPRs.
- One major benefit to ITS technologies are that they can be adjusted to match the budget by simply changing the number of devices installed. As design proceeded and cost estimates were made, Seattle was able to add and subtract devices based on available funding.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Anambra Chapter, has pledged to sanction party members who sabotaged the November 6 election.
This was disclosed by the state’s chairman, Ndubuisi Nwobu during a stakeholders’ meeting in Awka on Tuesday.
According to Nwobu, the state PDP would no longer tolerate a situation where members left the party to join other political parties during the election only to return afterwards, adding that such people would be given the back seats instead, upon their return.
“The party went into the election with the best candidate in the person of Mr Valentine Ozigbo who did his very best to ensure that the flag handed to him took the party to the government house,” he stated.
Nwobu further noted “some members chickened out of our party because they were thrown carrots at, what was thrown at them is very infinitesimal to what was thrown at some of us.
“All those who left us, don’t be surprised they will start sneaking back. If they come in, we will give them the back seat where they deserve. It will be a lesson for tomorrow because if we don’t do it, people will continue in wrong acts.”

For those whose skills don’t include pulling wire, creating a network of home computers can be something of a challenge. And if you want to outfit each computer with a modem and an Internet connection, it can be a costly proposition as well. Farallon’s HomeLine Starter Kit, a hardware-and-software combo that uses standard telephone wiring to form a network of two computers, addresses both problemsto a point.
Based on the HomePNA cabling standard, the HomeLine isn’t the only phone-line-based networking product on the market, but it is the first to support the Mac. The package includes two PCI cards, compatible with Macs as well as PCs, and software that lets you configure one computer (a Mac) as an Internet gateway. Once you install the cards in both computers and connect standard four-pair phone cable to a phone line via existing RJ-11 wall jacks, you’ve got yourself a network.Share and Share Alike
With the HomeLine, Macs and Windows 95 and 98 machines can share files, printers, and a single Internet connection. The HomeLine supports phone-based (modem and ISDN) and network-based (cable-modem and LAN) Internet connections; whenever a browser or other TCP/IP-based application is launched from any computer on the network, the gateway machine connects to your ISP as it normally would.
The HomeLine allows PCs to share resources with Macs, using AppleTalk (provided you install the bundled copy of Miramar Systems’ PC MacLAN on the PC). And if you have Netopia’s Timbuktu Pro, you can use any machine on the network to exchange files and messages or control a remote computer. An added bonus: if you currently dial up the Internet and connect to a local PC via the same network and you install the HomeLine on both machines, you won’t have to switch TCP/IP configurations or add a second Ethernet connection just to grab a file from the Windows machine or surf the Web.
We installed HomeLine cards in a Power Computing Power Macintosh running Mac OS 8.6 and in a Dell OptiPlex GXa running Windows 95 and then followed the thin manual’s installation and configuration instructions. The autosetup application configures a new Internet connection on the gateway Mac or creates a custom configuration, using existing TCP/IP and Remote Access settings; a similar application installs HomeLine drivers on PC clients.
Although setup on both machines was straightforward, we were initially unable to connect to the Internet from our PC client and we had only intermittent success surfing the Web from the PC after manually connecting to our ISP from the gateway Mac (rather than simply launching a browser). To make matters worse, Farallon’s technical support wasn’t much help: the first technician we spoke to was almost completely uninformed about the networking details of the HomeLine, and the secondwho seemed to be reading from the user manualultimately concluded that the fault lay with our ISP. We fared no better when attempting to connect through a second ISP.
We finally abandoned the by-the-book approach most home users would take and dove into the networking nether regions of Windows. After changing the static IP address the HomeLine assigned to the PC, we entered the Mac’s gateway address and our ISP’s DNS address in the Windows 95 Networking control panel. Our efforts were rewarded with a stable Internet connection, but the typical HomeLine user would probably be ill-equipped to make these substantive, nonintuitive configuration changeschanges that neither the documentation nor tech support even hinted at.Speedy Sharing
HomePNA-based networks, such as those that use the HomeLine, operate at a maximum speed of 1 Mbpssignificantly slower than Ethernet’s 10-Mbps maximum but four times the speed of LocalTalk. We found the HomeLine’s speed to be adequate for Web surfing, file sharing, and streaming-audio and -video playback. Connections were occasionally dropped, however, when users of two HomeLine machines simultaneously connected to the Internet were actively transferring files via FTP, playing audio programs, or downloading graphics-intensive Web pages.
If you’ve strained under the sluggish printing and slow file-transfer speeds of a LocalTalk network, you’ll find the HomeLine’s local sharing downright speedy. Even Ethernet users will find the HomeLine fast enough to share a color screen via Timbuktu or print a long document.Macworld’s Buying Advice
At $139, the HomeLine Starter Kit isn’t the cheapest product for creating a network, but it might be the most convenient (once you get it going). Families and SOHO users who want to share both local and Internet resources will appreciate the HomeLine’s flexibility and relative speed. If your machines already have modems attached, Ethernet may make more sense for local file sharing and

Through our continued partnership with the China Design Centre and the TCPA, we were delighted to host a second group of visitors from Greentown and Bluetown Development Companies, based in Hangzhou.
Earlier this summer, a group of 30 visitors spent time in Letchworth learning how stewardship models and long term land value capture have been applied using Ebenezer Howard’s principles. They followed their colleagues who visited Letchworth earlier in the year.
Over two days, the group took part in sessions where they explored in detail the financial model that has been used in Letchworth for well over 100 years. They then visited our charitable services and venues, including Broadway Cinema, Theatre and Gallery, Standalone Farm and the Ernest Gardiner Treatment Centre, to get a better understanding of how this model can have a genuine impact on the quality of life for local communities. We then explored community engagement models to explain the decision making process and how this relates to community governance.
Our visitors showed a keen interest in the role of volunteers around our governance and running of the organisation to ensure that places are maintained in the long term.
Then it was time to explore developments further afield so the group headed off to Milton Keynes, Cambridge, Stroud and Stratford as well as meeting representatives from the Cecil Gascoyne Estate and TCPA. They also spent time with the International Garden City Institute’s Academic Director, Dr Susan Parham, who was able to talk about urban agriculture and local food growing principles.
Having visited examples of developments undertaken by this company, who are one of the largest developers in this region of China specialising in new settlements, I can say the schemes are of a high quality and that they take a master planned approach with good quality homes in well maintained and landscaped environments. Their developments include an appreciation of understanding the needs of older people, local food production and access to the countryside.
We believe that such visits and meetings increases the chances of good quality places being built, which reflect the core values and principles at the heart of the Garden City Movement. They also provide practical advice for developers, such as Greentown and Bluetown, to assist their governance and stewardship of their new settlements.
Overall, this learning is key to a wider understanding of Garden City principles.
