Established in Fall 2004, the mission of Smart Microsystems Laboratory (SML) is to enable smarter, smaller, integrated systems by merging advanced modeling, control and design methodologies with novel materials and fabrication processes. Their research spans the general areas of control, dynamics, robotics, mechatronics, and smart materials. Research in SML is focused on electroactive polymer sensors and actuators, modeling and control of smart materials, soft robotics, bio-inspired underwater robots, and underwater mobile sensing.
Vast development of global network makes today’s world seem minuscule. However, there are still many instances where signals can be lost while a strong barrier is present between the source and the receiver, causing an object’s positions to be inaccurately measured. A solution to this could be the addition of a hardware component that predicts the position based on the object’s movements.
Our group was tasked with creating an Inertial Measurement Unit-based dead reckoning system. Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) are electronic devices that measure an object’s force, angular rate and orientation using a combination of tools like gyroscopes and accelerometers. When GPS signal is lost and an absolute position cannot be achieved, an estimated location can be determined using an IMU and a technique known as dead reckoning. Over long periods of time, dead reckoning cannot be relied upon for proper positioning and will produce inaccurate location estimates. Dead reckoning requires double integration and as a result of this mathematical step, the slightest inaccuracy will be exacerbated. Inexpensive IMUs are inadequate without first filtering the data they produce. Common techniques for fixing this data include Extended Kalman and complementary filtering.
The system is being designed for use in a robotic fish that is owned by the Smart Microsystems Laboratory.
The Michigan State University’s Brody Cafeteria provides roughly 1.6 million meals per year.
The current process of sorting silverware can occupy several employees at a time in a wet and humid environment. With Brody Cafeteria being short-staffed, this task can cause mayhem in the work environment. Using automation, staff members can divert their energy elsewhere, thus creating a better work environment.
Our project, which is a continuation of a Spring 2020 project, is to improve an existing robot that will help reduce human error when washing and sorting the silverware.
There are a few technical problems that still need to be addressed: improving the efficiency and accuracy of the sorting process by developing automated object recognition software, and redesigning the robotic system to remedy the conveyor belt slipping issue.
MSU Resource Center for Persons with Disabilities: Roadside Electric Scooter Detection and Alert System
The introduction of electric scooters on Michigan State’s campus is a huge convenience for many students. However, these scooters have created a real danger to visually impaired people on campus. While trained assistance animals may be able to detect and avoid these new walkway obstacles, people who use canes may not know they are there until it is too late.
When presented with this problem by the project sponsor (partnered with the scooter company Gotcha), our team began working on a solution. We recognize the usefulness of scooters on campus, which solves the problem of affordable and fast individual transport, but we were certain we could find a solution that did not create a danger to the visually impaired. After all, a true solution is one that does not create other problems.
The solution is to use a combination of GPS and Bluetooth technology. We have implemented our own hardware for research and development purposes. This way, Gotcha would not be open to any additional security risk during the development process, and we would be able to create software to match the original design concept. To accomplish this, a device consisting of a Bluetooth receiver and a speaker needed to be constructed. Our application was then able to communicate with this device by sending a Bluetooth signal indicating that the scooter should emit a chirping noise.
By creating an easily heard noise when approached by a visually impaired person, the scooter is easily detected and avoided. This greatly reduces the possibility of collision and injury.
Consumers Energy (CE) is preparing for an increase in Distributed Energy Resources (DER) penetration on its Low Voltage Distribution system. With the increase in distributed resources, such as Solar and Battery Storage, CE is planning new methods of management and control for two-way power flows.
Our project is to assist CE in their pursuit of increasing their DER penetration on the Low Voltage Distribution system by developing and executing a series of power grid simulations utilizing different DER placement designs, while staying within different constraints in order to optimize the power grid’s performance over a set of different criteria.
This set of criteria includes, but is not limited to, voltage, load, and frequency management, contingency analysis, islanding scenarios, and managing external constraints such as cost.
The simulations run during this project are modeled off the real-world design of a solar garden in Kalamazoo and are based on the work done by a Spring 2020 design team.
In addition to developing and running optimization simulations, the project also includes developing a genetic algorithm to aid in finding the optimal parameters for Volt-VAr curves for use in Voltage Management optimization scenarios.
The main objective of this project is to design and control a swarm of aerial robots in a moving formation with the capability of performing different maneuvers. The swarm can be simulated in any state-of-the-art software. The team has chosen to utilize Mission Planner for both controlling the drones, as well as simulation. One of the simulated drones will be assigned as the leader, while the rest of the drones in the swarm will be designated as followers. The flight pattern of the swarm will be controlled by a human pilot operating a joystick/ controller. This controller will then communicate with a computer and simulated swarm through either Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. These objectives integrate well with Mission Planner, as the software has a built-in swarm function, as well as controller support and Bluetooth compatibility. Many of the calculations and signals sent to the drones will also be conducted through written Python scripts, which can be uploaded to Mission Planner and run in parallel with simulation.
In addition to the simulation aspect of the project, our team has also decided to construct two physical drones. This was decided in order to achieve a physical realization of the leader-follower protocol that will also be implemented in simulation. These physical drones will still be operated with user input through Mission Planner, Python scripts, and a controller.
Upon the completion of this project, we plan to showcase the ability of the software to take user input in terms of desired formation and the actual rendering of aerial team motion, as well as the effectiveness of the joystick interface, which should be smooth with little to no delay in action execution. We also plan to showcase both the simulation aspect with multiple formations of drone swarms, as well as the physical realization with one leader drone and one follower drone.
The Human Augmentation Laboratory, or HATlab, at Michigan State University seeks to develop integrated circuits and microsystem approaches that branch between nano- and micro- sensor technologies and macroscale biomedical and environmental applications. By focusing on autonomous sensory microsystems, HATlab aims to design devices which assist with human health and safety.
HATlab is currently researching a new device which bypasses visual and audio mediums, relying solely on bioelectrical impulses to stimulate tactile sensor pathways. This device could be used in a variety of situations, including amputee prosthetics or arthritis and nerve damage treatments.
As a stepping-stone for their new device, HATlab designed a project to create an application which utilizes tactile feedback through controllers in lieu of bioelectrical impulses. Additionally, the project includes the design of a sequential task game, or STG, for testing the application created. The application will include a method of transmitting a signal to two remote locations to test interpretation of tactile feedback.
The solution includes two applications, an “observer” and an “actor.” The observer application consists of a sequenced input game as well as the relevant testing information, an example of which is displayed to the right. The actor application consists of relevant testing information, as well as visuals of signals for each of the potential buttons available at a given level. The two applications are connected by a cloud service, integrated into the game. This enables the transmission of the button pressed by the observer, which then vibrates the controller of the actor. The actor then interprets the vibration signal and presses the corresponding button. This solution allows the STG to be quickly adapted to read bioelectrical impulses and be tested with the new device HATlab is creating.
MSU Mobility is a group on campus with a goal of becoming a primary source for research and development that revolve around the concept of human-centric multi modal mobility. MSU Mobility focuses on creating systems of communication and transportation that provide knowledge and safety to all students on campus.
MSU Mobility has been researching sociomobility and the use of autonomous vehicles to connect to a larger part of the transportation system, and to try and become a greener community. With partners like MSU Bikes, MSU Mobility is focusing on becoming more eco- friendly with all transportation on campus.
Our application, MSU Green Mobility App, puts together everything MSU Mobility is about, along with providing more “Green” modes of transportation. Green transportation is any form of transport that does not use or rely on the burning of natural resources. Green transportation helps preserve our environment and ecosystems.
The MSU Green Mobility App will provide users with an easy-to- use interactive map providing green modes of transportation around campus. By connecting to already existing apps and companies like Gotcha and the CATA bus service, users will be able to find the “greenest” mode of transportation available. The user will be able to see how far their destination is, how long it will take to get there and how “green” their mode of transportation is.
Whether the user decides to walk, bike, take an e-scooter or take the bus, all options will be available to view.
The goal of the MSU Green Mobility app is to provide users with a simple, yet effective way, to navigate campus in the most environmentally friendly way possible.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is an independent agency of the United States Federal Government that was established in 1958. NASA is responsible for the civilian space program, along with space and aeronautics research. The civilian rocketry and spacecraft propulsion research for NASA is conducted at the Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC).
With expanding space research and technology, it has become essential to create a network of nanosatellites for communicating between satellites and Earth. Partnering with the MSFC, our team was tasked with designing a communication relay 6U CubeSat that is able to receive and transmit information at a distance of 1000 km. The design of the 6U CubeSat was based on the limiting size and weight constraints placed upon the satellite while meeting the technical requirements.
The blueprint our group created for the design of the satellite targeted three key technical areas: power, communication, and computation. The trade study conducted by our team highlights the optimal conditions and hardware to provide a communication network of 6U CubeSats that transmits and receives data, such as telemetry and images.
Components of the communication system for the CubeSat include utilizing proper signal processing techniques and selecting an antenna system that meets signal frequency requirements. The hardware components of the 6U CubeSat, including the flight computer and communication system circuitry, end up creating power requirements that will be met by the satellite’s solar cells. Our overall design of the 6U CubeSat harmoniously incorporates all necessary components, while meeting the challenging conditions presented by outer space and complying with standard regulations.
Nearly all modern-day camera sensors are paired with a lens, and light is concentrated through the lens onto the sensor uniformly. However, these lenses are expensive, large, and heavy. Recent research has shown diffusers are able to be used in place of a lens by applying image processing techniques. This allows diffuser cameras to be made cheaper, smaller, and lighter than their lensed counterparts. Our sponsor Ryan Ashbaugh, a graduate student at Michigan State University, was intrigued by these findings and designed a project to further develop this new imaging system.
Although diffuser cameras are not that practical for commercial picture taking, they do have a variety of other uses and functions that normal lens cameras cannot perform. For example, since the diffuser camera uses a rolling shutter to capture a line of the image at a time, we can essentially recreate a short video from a 2D image. The camera is also very good at recreating a 3D model from a 2D image. This is due to the fact that our camera does not use a lens. Lensed cameras have one focus plane, meaning things that are out of focus are blurred, whereas our camera does not have this blurring effect. This allows us to get depth information from the whole image. So, by using compressed sensing to make some assumption about the photo, we can reconstruct a 3D image.
This allows the technology to be very useful in the field of microscopy, more specifically in neural activity tracking. Currently researchers use giant cumbersome microscopes to do neural tracking, but the diffuser camera’s size will allow them to implant the device directly onto their subject’s brain for testing, making the process of studying neural activity more efficient and easier.
For our project, we plan to expand upon the current research and knowledge of diffuser cameras to create a device that has improved resolution. To accomplish this, we are going to try using different types of diffusers as well as more advanced algorithms.
Areal-time telemetry system is vital to all automotive races. With a real-time telemetry system implemented, pit lane crews can monitor vehicle data such as battery temperature and voltage on the go with only a laptop in hand. In solar car racing, every milliwatt of energy is crucial and can be the difference between a win and a loss. Designing a telemetry system that can continuously deliver data with a robust connection and wide bandwidth from the racecar to the pit lane is challenging with limited budgets and time.
To strike a balance between design time, budget, and energy consumption, our team decided to implement the race data telemetry system with a LoRa module, a low power, wide area network communication protocol. The LoRa module has several merits, including low power consumption, stable connection between receiving and transmitting nodes, and long-range (1.2~1.8 miles) capability. The LoRa module connects to an Arduino board that is programmed to process CAN data from the race vehicle CAN bus.
The team designed the telemetry module to be a “Plug and Go” device installed onto the racecar without any existing system redesign. The LoRa transmitter is on the racecar while the receiver is in the pit. Due to the LoRa module’s nature, the module’s transmitter can be relatively small, causing little to no effect to the existing vehicle structure. The receiving LoRa module will be equipped with a large antenna to maximize the vehicle’s connection during laps.
Lastly, with the data acquired on the laptop, an Excel sheet will process all the incoming data and further visualize the data into real-time updating graphs. The graphs will store on the laptop for later review for the team and the driver. We believe that with this telemetry system installed on the Michigan State University solar racecar, MSU SRT will be adding another strong ability to its arsenal.
Our team is comprised of Michigan State University Electrical Engineering Department and Mechanical Engineering Department students working together on a project involving an electric bike dynamometer. This project is a continuation of a project which began in the Fall of 2019. The goal of this project is to measure the power output of the rider input and the motor input and evaluate the data compared to real- world examples. This would include testing conditions such as varying incline simulation and different speed simulations. This will allow for the ability to simulate a balance between the bike motor activation and rider input to create a seamless riding experience
The tasks presented in this project are a continuation of what the previous groups have already completed, to build on the progress, and to make some revisions.
One of the first tasks was to create a stable platform that allows for stable mounting of a bike’s wheels to keep it from shifting while on the dynamometer. The ability to access the bike, via a platform, while it is mounted to the dyno was also needed. Along with this, the mounting of the load cell to the dynamometer to allow for power readings from the rear wheel of the bike needed to be assessed. The revision of the coding to run the motor and gather readings was also investigated.
Millimeter waves, as classified by the International Telecommunication Union, are EM waves with frequencies ranging from 30 to 300 GHz. In use today most commonly as a communication frequency, mostly for short- range high-bandwidth data transfer, there are other applications for using mmWave. These include radar in weapon systems, autonomous vehicle sensors, and the scanners in place at security checkpoints across the US.
For this project, we will be using a board donated by Texas Instruments which operates between 60 and 64 GHz and is ideal for object identification and tracking in indoor environments. For this project we will be using this board to detect people and distinguish humans from other sources of movement in home and office environments.
A radar system transmits an electromagnetic wave signal that is reflected by objects in its path. MmWave sensing is a unique category of radar systems technology. The captured reflected signal is used to determine the range, velocity, and the angle of arrival of the objects. Using these data sets, our goal with this project is to create an algorithm we can use to distinguish and separate people from background information.
We will leverage work already done by TI in their mmWave SDK and mmWave Studio, along with some example code to help us with the tracking layer of processing. Using sample datasets captured by our team, we will train a machine learning algorithm to identify humans, distinguish between multiple humans in a scene, and separate human targets from non-human moving objects in the scene. The goal is to have a working algorithm that can reliably detect and track two humans doing different tasks and identify a third non-human dynamic object as inanimate. | 60systems_science

Here in the desert, about 50 miles North-East of Los Angeles, life is quiet in comparison. Once a year, in May, the County Fair brings life to this small community. It's a great place to use your night photography skills. In this photograph of a carousel, I wanted to capture the movement and yet, I wanted to have my main subject (the zebra in this instance) in focus. You would think that I use panning, but I thought that it would not render a clear subject, since it was night and my shutter speed had to be very slow. So I installed the K10D on my tripod, and popped the camera built-in flash unit up. The lens I used was the Pentax 16 - 45mm, set at 40mm. I pressed the Fn button on the back of the camera, then press the four-way controller down to the flash mode. Press again toward the right, to the Trailing Curtain sync flash mode, pressed OK twice.
I took the shot in the (P) Program mode. I slowed the shutter speed to 1/3 of a second and let the camera set the aperture accordingly. I pre focused on the zebra while it was passing in front of me, with the cable switch CS-205 attached. I held the shutter pressed halfway until the zebra had gone around once more and was just coming in the camera field of view again. As it was in the field of view, I pressed the shutter fully. The camera exposed for the background for 1/3 of a second and the built-in flash gave a burst of light at the end of the exposure. That made the trailing lights first, although very subdue in this shot, and with the flash burst at the end of the exposure, the zebra was captured or "frozen" at the time of the flash burst. This evidently works best at dusk or dawn, with a moving subject.
Try it, and have fun.

One need only look at the early Christians undergoing persecution starting with St. Stephen to see shining examples of spiritual resilience. Living spiritual resilience, a life of faith, means living in love, with hope and trusting God is in complete control of every detail of our life, no matter what is happening. It is our witness of resiliency in every circumstance of our life, particularly when it involves trial and suffering, that bears witness to our faith and attracts others to the faith in Jesus Christ. It was the resilience of the Apostles and early Christians, especially under extreme persecution, which stood in sharp contrast against the prevailing culture which attracted multitudes to the faith. No ‘eye for an eye’ was evident in their resilience, rather hearts full of love and hope trusting Jesus was present and in control. The martyrs of the church through the centuries have demonstrated extreme resilience as they went to their death joyfully, affirming their trust in God’s Providence.
Resilience requires a degree of dispassionate detachment from the current circumstances of our lives as we see it from the larger perspective. In secular terms, we might say that we are looking at our life from the 40,000 foot level. But in our relationship with Jesus, it is so much more than that, because in that relationship, as we hope to love as He loves, we can see as He sees. And the way He sees our lives is with love and compassion. As we see with His perspective, it is much broader than just the current circumstance; He is seeing our situation as part of our journey toward Him and eternity.
But how do we as ordinary Christians develop spiritual resiliency that will carry us through any adversity? After all, it is not just a choice and then we have the ability, rather, it is something that must be developed in our lives. | 35literature

This report, released on an annual basis analyses the vendors of business intelligence and analytics, and places them on a quadrant to indicate their capabilities. This year, well, things are different. Many of the key players from previous years have fallen away from the Leaders quadrant with only 3 remaining — Oracle is not seen anywhere in the four quadrants (they did not qualify to be included based on criteria)
The criteria for this latest assessment is based on 5 use cases and 14 critical capabilities of a BI and analytics platform, which mostly focuses on agility and self-service. Gartner explains that the trend of BI and analytics switching from an enterprise reporting model to a self-service model has now reached a tipping point, and now for the first time Microsoft is seen as a visionary leader in this space. And for Gartner to base Microsoft’s assessment solely on Power BI goes to show the potential of the product. The second iteration of Power BI with it’s desktop module and the online portal, offers an intuitive and simple to use interface for users to build data discovery and visualization solutions. With support for a plethora of cloud-based and on-premise data sources, along with up-coming features such as Cortana-integration, I think Microsoft is on a good path towards what Gartner predicts how the BI and analytics landscape will look like by 2018. Polish up a few cautions indicated by Gartner such as low advanced analytics capabilities on Power BI, and they’d look even better.
Microsoft also had been in the Leaders quadrant for the last 9 years, during the time when enterprise BI was at it’s peak. Couple that with the latest assessment and you could safely say that the collective Microsoft BI stack is a force to reckon.

https://bitcoindynamic.com/news/venezuela-on-the-brink-of-starvation-with-too-little-fuel-to-plant/ | 2020-11-30T10:31:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-50/segments/1606141213431.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20201130100208-20201130130208-00088.warc.gz | 0.967287 | 1,125 | CC-MAIN-2020-50 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2020-50__0__52333359 | en | Venezuelan farmer Roberto Latini fears that his chance of planting this year's crop is running out quickly.
He hoped to sow corn, but was unable to find the fuel to operate his trucks and equipment before the end of the dry season. Then he looked at rice, which can be planted even in heavy rain. Weeks later, the fuel is still low and "over time, it is getting too late to sow," said Latini.
After seven years of economic collapse, Venezuela's crisis has entered a new and worrying phase. In a nation that is home to the world's largest oil reserves, fuel shortages have grown so much that the fields are becoming empty.
Venezuela is now on the brink of famine, warns the International Crisis Group. More than half of the land used to grow vegetables last year will not be replanted, according to the Fedeagro agricultural federation.
Corn production is expected to cover less than a quarter of national demand. And the tight addiction to U.S. sanctions threatens to strangle the little food and oil it is receiving from abroad.
"We will begin to see the consequences of this in the coming months," said Fedeagro President Aquiles Hopkins. Now, "we are eating vegetables that were planted two or three months ago, rice that was sown six months ago and corn from the previous harvest cycle".
Oil fields across Venezuela closed amid the US's relentless campaign to cut the country out of global markets. Evidence of fuel shortages is everywhere. Ambulances don't work, telecommunications networks are failing and some farmers have given up on machines altogether – using oxen instead.
A shipment of oil from Iran that arrived at the end of last month may have affected the shortage in Caracas, but farmers like Latini say they have not seen much evidence of this in the field. Latini, whose farm is located in the center of cultivation in Turen, said his only option is to wait all day at a gas station – the daily limit of 30 liters is not enough – or to pay $ 4 per liter ($ 15 per gallon) on the black market.
To the northeast, corn grower Celso Fantinel said he hasn't seen his fields in days. The price of fuel means that it cannot afford to make the 320 km round trip very often.
With the rainy season in that part of Venezuela still a month away, Fantinel plans to start planting his harvest on Monday. But the lack of fuel and pesticides, combined with the lack of credit, forced him to reduce to just 300 hectares (741 acres) of corn, less than a third of what he used to sow.
Fantinel's planting machines use diesel, which is exempt from U.S. sanctions, but is still scarce and expensive. The cashless state producer, known as PDVSA, cannot make or import enough.
"Without fuel, you cannot meet the farm's daily needs," said Fantinel. "If you need to bring a technician from the city, a spare part or even food for workers, it is impossible."
About 9.3 million Venezuelans, or a third of all people in the country, do not have enough food to eat or are malnourished due to quantity and quality, according to a 2020 report by 16 organizations, including United Nations agencies. and European Union.
Set to get worse
The one-year drop means that only one in six sugar mills is operating, while the milk and dairy industry is running at 12% capacity and production does not reach distribution centers, according to Fedeagro.
The situation is expected to get worse, even when the government tries to ease the pain with $ 20 million in agricultural credit, while FAO-Venezuela distributes fertilizers and seeds.
In recent years, the government has imported more than half of the necessary corn, which is essential in local diets and the main ingredient in a popular dish known as arepa. But with a practically worthless currency, easing foreign reserves and sanctions, she had to be creative in reaching deals.
Last year, it agreed to exchange oil for corn and water trucks, but since then the company on the other side of the deal has gone bankrupt.
Meanwhile, the Trump administration is preparing sanctions for up to 50 oil tankers and fuel tanks as part of an effort to disrupt trade between Iran and Venezuela, according to a person familiar with the matter.
And Covid-19 blockades in Colombia and Ecuador are driving a flood of refugees to return home, increasing the demand for food.
Gerson Pabon said that farmers in the state of Tachira, where he grows vegetables, regularly receive gas and pesticides from neighboring Colombia. They pay international market fees for inputs and then raise their product prices to reflect these costs.
Food inflation in Venezuela reached 251% in the first four months of the year, according to the Caracas research group, Cenda. Corn production this season could reach around 350,000 tonnes, compared to 450,000 tonnes in 2019, according to Fantinel, who is also vice president of Fedeagro. Venezuela normally consumes 1.6 million tons.
The crisis is not just about the basic right to food, "but the right to quality and quantity," said Carlos Machado-Allison, a professor at the IESA business school in Caracas. "It is not just a matter of having a daily arepa on the tables, nor enough calories, but quality of life". | 1agronomy

This is done by awarding recreation development grants to assist various groups in the establishment of physical activities, enhancing qualifications of coaches or using the funds to leverage more grants.
The commission has awarded two grants for 2014 to the Similkameen swim club and the Kobau Park Recreation Committee. The swim club grant was awarded to purchase a lap top computer which is necessary for club administration, swim meet entries and to fund coaching certification. Kobau Park’s grant was to help install a Frisbee golf course.
Both grants will add to recreational activities for many people in our area. | 58sports

While this example might be amusing, the real-life financial implications of theft are not. Even if you don’t consider your facility a prime target for criminals, petty theft and incidental theft can quickly add up and eat into your bottom line.
The first step in securing your facility is to ensure that outsiders don’t have easy access to your workplace during off-hours. The mere presence of signs, chains, locks, and security cameras is enough to discourage most petty thieves.
Once you’ve secured your facility’s entrances, focus on labeling items and equipment within work areas. Labels not only help with identification and inventory, but can also deter workers who might be considering taking items home with them. Asset tags and nameplates work well for this purpose, and having two on larger pieces of equipment (one in plain view and the other hidden somewhere) is an excellent precaution against theft. If criminals are inexperienced they may miss the hidden label, making recovering the stolen goods easier. Even if they do find both labels, some labels leave markings on the device, which helps identify stolen goods.
Finally, ensure that your employees are well-trained and knowledgeable about policies and procedures regarding office equipment and confidentiality. Aside from making them more efficient, this also prevents them from accidentally enabling criminals by providing insider information. | 33law

He talks a little more about melee combat and about the Xbox at the primary development platform.
PSU: The art direction in Fallout 3
definitely succeeds in capturing the visual spirit of its predecessors.
How did Bethesda initially capture these visuals and place them into a
next-gen 3D world? Were there any compromises made in terms of what to
add or how expansive the world could be? In addition, was there
anything Bethesda thinks it did differently than any previous titles in
terms of the current world's visual layout?
Obviously we spent a lot of time looking at the games themselves, but
also the concept art for those games. We have a lot of the original
materials from the first two games so we can look at not only how they
looked in the original games, but also what the developers were going
for when they came up with the idea. We spent a ton of time churning
out a lot of concept art and going through multiple iterations to get
the look and feel of things right. That includes all of the iconic
elements from the series – the PipBoy, Vault Suit, and so on – to
little things like the chairs and computers that appeared in the Vault
in the first game.
PSU: How does the melee system in Fallout 3 exactly work? How will the VATS system focus its efforts with the melee system?
The goal is to balance the game so that you never have to fire a gun if
that’s not the kind of character you are role-playing. So you can use
different types of melee weapons in close range and use VATS to target
body parts just like you can with a gun. How “exactly” it works is one
of many things we are working on at the moment and it continues to get
changed and refined until we feel like we have it “just right.”
PSU: What platform is lead for development? Are you finding one easier than the other?
We usually use the Xbox 360 as our lead platform because it has some
very good tools for providing feedback we need in managing things like
memory allocation, load times, framerate, etc. But we develop each
platform simultaneously and ultimately the game has to run and be
tweaked to run on each platform as well as possible.
I still really don't like the idea of a console being the primary development platform. I haven't played Bioshock yet, but from what I hear, the PC version is far superior to the console versions due to the fact that they didn't nerf things down on the PC. Maybe Bethesda should take a cue? | 14design

Situated off the east-and west-bound carriageways near Harthill, Lanarkshire, the sites feature 10 150kW chargers servicing the Edinburgh to Glasgow corridor.
According to BP Pulse, a 150kW charger allows a driver to add up to 130 miles of range in as 10-15 minutes, however the company said it expects the chargers to power one million miles of EV motoring in their first year.
Each 150kW charger is equipped with the two types of rapid charging connectors that EVs use – CCS and CHAdeMO – for widespread compatibility with Scotland’s EVs.
Charging sessions are accessible with a BP Pulse subscription or EV drivers can use pay-as-you-go charging using a contactless debit or credit card with no registration required.
Scottish transport minister Graeme Dey said: “Positioned between Scotland’s two largest cities, the new ultra-fast 150kW chargers from BP Pulse are a welcome addition to Harthill services. This investment from bp pulse will provide even more charging options for EV drivers in Scotland.”
The hub opening follows BP Pulse’s recent announcement that it will roll out dedicated ultra-fast charging hubs across the UK, with the first purpose-built charging and convenience hub set to open later this year.
BP aims for its EV charging network to double in size to 16,000 chargepoints by 2030. | 5automotive

Known as the CEM Ability Village, it is the brainchild of the Charismatic Evangelistic Ministry (CEM) through the Church’s Ability Village Charity, to support and empower persons with disabilities skills training and specialist healthcare to promote their full participation in all facets of society.
Work on Phase One of the project, to be situated on 500 acres, begins immediately while the charity continues to solicit funds and equipment to undertake the entire project in record time.
Vice-President Bawumia, a passionate supporter of the cause of PWDs lauded the leadership of the church for conceiving and undertaking such a major project, saying it is a reflection of the Church’s response to the call to help humanity.
“For many years, I have followed with keen interest your efforts in providing assistive devices, medical care, and other essential items for this vulnerable group across the country by organizing the “Day of Help” for persons with disabilities, which is commendable”, Dr Bawumia hailed Rev Steve Mensah and the leadership of the Church and the Charity.
People with disabilities face a variety of social, attitudinal, physical, educational, transportation, and communication barriers in their everyday lives, which affects their full inclusion in our communities. These barriers result in negative consequences such as social exclusion, physical and mental health challenges, discrimination, stigmatization, low self-esteem, and financial difficulties, Dr Bawumia noted.
“Consequently, persons with disabilities are more likely to live in abject poverty than persons without disabilities. Unfortunately, our society’s actions and inactions continue to create barriers to their integration into our communities.
“It has become expedient to tackle these issues head-on with concrete actions that will deal with all these prejudices and barriers impeding the full inclusion of persons with disabilities in our communities. Therefore, CEM Ability Village shows that we do not have to wait for the government to do everything. We are all responsible for our fellow brothers and sisters living with a disability.
“We all need to put our hands on the plow and work to remove all obstacles facing our brothers and sisters. Let us tap into our human nature and give out our resources to lift persons with disabilities from this quagmire of despondency.”
“We have to do a lot as a Government, and we are committed to addressing these challenges,” he stressed.
Dr Bawumia, who is Patron of the Ghana Lepers’ Aid Committee and whose care and philanthropic activities with persons living with disabilities are well documented, pledged his commitment to the success of the project, and urged all to do same.
“I must admit that this initiative to support persons with disability is dear to my heart, and I will offer all the necessary support for realizing the CEM Ability Village. The government will also do its part in the realization of this project. Supporting the CEM Ability Village is our civic and moral responsibility. Let us all rise to the occasion for every life matters, and we should not leave anyone behind.
“This groundbreaking is a call to action; Ghana must stand with persons with disabilities. I will encourage Corporate Ghana, the donor community, development partners, Associations and groups, religious organizations, and individuals to give generously to this laudable project. Technical assistance from development partners and construction materials and equipment donations for the skills training facilities and the hospital are welcome,” he emphasised.
The Minister for Gender, Children and Social Protection, Lariba Zuweira Abudu, thanked the chiefs of the area “for releasing such a large tract of land for such a laudable project”, and pledged the Ministry’s “absolute support” to ensure its speedy completion.
The CEM Ability Village is programmed to be an inclusive and empowerment center to help address some of the challenges facing persons with disabilities.

First-stage construction includes an aerial structure spanning two creeks supporting habitat for the federally and state-listed threatened giant garter snake, the state-listed threatened Swainson’s hawk, and two species of concern to the state—western pond turtle and western burrowing owl.
Habitat along and adjacent to the creeks supports a multitude of native nesting birds, and seasonal wetlands occur near the confluence of the creeks.
The project traverses the Sacramento County Regional Sanitation District “bufferlands” open space, separating wastewater treatment facilities from public areas. The bufferlands are managed as wildlife habitat by a Sacramento Regional County Sanitation District (SRCSD) biologist and support an amazing diversity of nesting birds and other sensitive resources, including wetlands and native grasslands.
Biology monitors combining real-world construction knowledge with in-depth environmental expertise are better equipped to handle the challenges of high-profile construction projects.As part of the construction team, Dudek is managing environmental compliance with regulatory permit and environmental impact report stipulations and mitigation measures. Dudek is also providing environmental awareness training to all on-site construction workers.
Dudek Biologist Kevin Derby, who is leading the environmental compliance effort, offers the following tips for successful compliance on a complex linear construction project:
Gaining project proponent support. Proactive support to the compliance program from the project proponent is a critical foundation. Ed Scofield, RT project management director, said, “RT is committed to environmental compliance and has built an excellent reputation with the resource agencies over the years because of this commitment. We recognize ongoing cooperation, and communication with biology monitors is very important to the success of this phase of construction.”
Positioning monitors as team members. Rather than establishing monitors as enforcement personnel, it is more effective to position them as part of the overall project team with the role to educate and to identify issues early so they can be addressed to help keep the project moving forward.
Assigning construction-experienced monitors. Biology monitors who combine real-world construction knowledge with in-depth environmental expertise are better equipped to handle the challenges of a large, high-profile construction project. Equally important, an experienced construction management team and crew who understand the importance of natural resources and environmental compliance can significantly improve interaction.
Identifying issues for early resolution. Experience and teamwork helps monitors and construction crews adapt to unforeseen conditions, make decisions, and find ways to keep a project moving forward.
Open communication between the construction team and compliance team is critical to identify and address potential issues before they become big problems. Resource agencies and other stakeholders, such as the Regional Sanitation District bufferlands team, need to be proactively informed about avoidance and minimization measures and the status of the biological resources in the project area.
Effective communication should focus on establishing and following communication protocols by integrating environmental training programs into routine construction safety training.
Managing post-construction compliance to close. Permit compliance experts also play a key role of managing post-construction compliance activities and timely coordination with regulatory agencies to help the project achieve regulatory sign-off for all environmental permits. | 63transportation_engineering

Depending on the weather, the tulips and other flowers will show themselves from late April into early May. Especially in the Western part of the country, around Lisse, the fields of flowers can seem endless and people traveling from all over the world to see their beauty.
Flowers as far as your eyes can see
Certain parts of The Netherlands change into endless fields of flowers. Especially in the Western part of the country where I am originally from. I remember my grandparents taking me to the ‘Keukenhof‘ and these fields with rows of flowers in various colors. Back then I did not appreciate it as much, but when I now see these fields I understand why tourists come from all over the world to view this spectacle.
Award-winning, Dutch landscape photographer Albert Dros recently took his drone to the sky to photograph the flower spectacle. The amazing aerial photos he took were taken in the Flevopolder, where flowers are grown as well. Enjoy!
Albert Dros: “This was captured by a drone. A very wide tulip field leading into the distance, almost like an arrow.”
Albert Dros: “Does this make you think of the Dutch painter Piet Mondrian?”
Albert Dros: “Another photo with the drone, playing with lines and colors. These look like racetracks.”
Albert Dros: “Here’s another top-down shot from beheaded tulips. The color just moves from the lines itself to in between.”
Albert Dros: “Another shot of flying over the Flevopolder with a drone.”
Albert Dros: “Ever played Sim City? Then this might look familiar. This top-down shot totally reminded me of that videogame. This was taken high up from a plane.”
Albert Dros: “Getting up closer with top-down photography with a drone allows me to get a bit more abstract by playing with lines and colors.”
Albert Dros: “Pink tulips and blue skies with patchy clouds. The Flevopolder at its best!”
Albert Dros: “Dark skies with stormy weather makes the flowers really pop.”
Albert Dros: “Here’s a top down shot of myself controlling the drone above the flowers.”
Albert Dros: “Seeing the flowers from the sky looks like a videogame. This is mainly because of the Dutch landscape in general which consists of perfect straight lines.”
Albert Dros: “As I live in Amersfoort, the most convenient location for me to capture the tulips is the ‘Flevopolder’. This shot is the Flevopolder captured from an airplane.”
Albert Dros: “It’s great to experiment with top-down shots with a drone above the tulips. Some rows give the possibility to try abstract things. Here you see rows of red tulips with 1 row ending earlier, and a lonely red tulip in front of the ending one, almost like he’s saying ‘stop’.”
Albert Dros: “By flying the drone over these fields we see visuals that are almost abstract. They look like a carpet.”

Mathematical and Computational Forestry and Natural-Resource Sciences. 3(2): 102-113
We assessed the consistency across space and time of spatially explicit models of forest presence and biomass in southern Missouri, USA, for adjacent, partially overlapping satellite image Path/Rows, and for coincident satellite images from the same Path/Row acquired in different years. Such consistency in satellite image-based classification and estimation is critical to national and continental monitoring programs that depend upon processed satellite imagery, such as the North American Forest Dynamics Program. We tested the interchangeability of particular image acquisitions across time and space in the context of modeling forest biomass and forest presence with a non-parametric Random Forests-based approach. Validation at independent USA national forest inventory plots suggested statistically consistent model accuracy, even when the images used to apply the models were acquired in different years or in different image frames from the images used to build the models. For mapping projects using near-anniversary date imagery and employing careful radiometric correction, advantages of image interchangeability include the ability to build models with more ground data by combining adjacent image frames and the ability to apply models of assessed accuracy to early satellite images for which no corresponding field data may be available.

This one is from kind of fleece fabric scraps. It rested in the closet for more than a year and only needed one row of border fabric on each side of it. No more than half an hour sewing and I had another finished top. Here yet without the final border.
There are 2″ squares used in the quilt top, it can be a warm, soft baby quilt. I know it isn’t fashionable or something, I only wanted to use up all the scraps I had and designed this pattern. You can see the scrappy rows between the nine patch blocks. First I settled the center block then arranged the blocks row by row around the center.
The second is one of my two Calico Rose tops – this is the larger, made of 16 blocks – this too needed to be bordered.
Here I was trying to figure out what kind of border I’d like to make.
The third wants to become a festive tablecloth one day, I hope this Christmas. I started this back in early December planned to finish it in time but I haven’t succeded. No matter, this time I have one whole year for it. It is made from all of my festive fabrics I cut into squares.
You can see that all of the pictures are kind of “before” but I assure you that all three are already finished quilt tops and I intend to entirely finish one quilt a month. That is one of my plans this year. | 61textile_science

It’s called Charit Creek Lodge, and they’re offering a beautiful, uniquely-rustic experience only two hours outside of Nashville.
Big South Fork is renowned for its bewitching wilderness. A naked park fleeced with chestnut oaks and pines spanning nearly 125,000 acres, the area is consumed with hair-raising views of nature and wildlife. A 600-foot gorge bends through the innermost heart of the park’s plateau, giving the area its distinct charm, while the park pinnacles at the Twin Arches Summit—a topmost point accessible by trail with spectacular views spanning below.
Hikers in particular will enjoy the many trails winding throughout the Lodge’s surrounding area. Abundant with natural swimming holes, waterfalls, and earth-formed arches cambering overhead, these hike-able paths are available to anyone staying at the Lodge. The Sheltowee Trace trailhead—a 300-mile trail that courses through Big South Fork’s entirety—even begins at Charit Creek Lodge, making the lodge an invaluable starting point for resident hikers. The majority of trails here are even navigable by horseback or mountain bike.
Horses may be stabled in their own building near the cabins, and lodge-owned mountain bikes will become available to residents in Spring 2015. Those seeking the alternative solidarity of canoeing or kayaking may paddle the Big South Fork River, the water only a few miles from the Lodge. And for less adventurous, horseshoe tossing and bocce ball are readily available. The list of activities available to guests of Charit Creek Lodge is seemingly endless.
What makes the Lodge interesting is it withholds some of the oldest-standing cabins in the National Park system today, some existing since the early 1800’s. Hand-built fences zigzag the collective area, encasing it within a hollow, emerald grassland peppered with wildflowers. All cabins offer toasty, wood-burning stoves and comfortable bedding. Though electricity isn’t featured, the area has fully-operable plumbing, showers, sinks, and clean water. But let’s not forget: the experience is fully-private, offering full-service accommodations at only $80 a night.
When it comes to meals, breakfast and dinner are served free with this initial price. Every meal is fully-prepared beforehand by the staff, dinner experienced by the comely flicker of kerosene lamps. Chosen foods are familiar to Southern, home-style cuisine, featured plates ranging from cornbread and cast iron skillet-grilled meats, candied yams and spicy turnip greens. Bellies filled, residents may proceed to the rocking chairs upon the decks to stargaze into the infinitesimal beauty of the Cosmos, exceedingly clear amongst the solitude of nature. Novels may be read by candlelight or roaring fires kindled outside, all the while listening to the chorus of cicadas, glow bugs streaking the star-ridden sky above.
The experience of Charit Creek Lodge is true charm. It offers a classical feel like no other. It returns visitors to their center, their sense of peace and belonging in the world. The spirit becomes reawakened by the placidity of nature in this place, and after gazing back in time here, one returns to the daily grind at home increasingly self-aware.

Iraq has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Siemens Energy and Schlumberger to invest in and cease flaring associated gas from oil fields.
This effort aims to convert the gas into productive energy to supply power stations and the national grid.
During the signing ceremony, Mr. Hayan Abdul Ghani, the Deputy Prime Minister for Energy Affairs and Minister of Oil, said this collaboration intends to implement the accelerated plan to invest in and process associated gas from oil fields, utilizing the advanced technology possessed by these companies. He also mentioned another MoU signed by Siemens with the Ministry of Electricity to support the energy sector.

This Bitcoin machine is quite similar in characteristics to Lamassu Bitcoin machine and would be a good competitor taking into account, the price. It allows by default one-way operation of buying Bitcoins, but also has an option to become two-way fully functional Bitcoin ATM.
The machine weights 20kg and cash acceptor can be set to accept any currency. For operating the machine requires connection to internet over Wi-Fi.
Bit-Wallet, started by Stefano Mezzetti, is Italy’s first Bitcoin ATM vendor. The Company is shipping its machines to expand the use of Bitcoin in Italy and rest of Europe.
According to BitNodes, Italy is one of the top 20 countries based on the number of Bitcoin nodes. Bit-Wallet is promising local support to the Italian market, where Bitcoin is steadily on the rise.
As the competition in the Bitcoin ATM space is heating up, Stefano says Bit Wallet is trying to earn its way on the Italian market and then expand to the rest of Europe conquer the Italian market first
With the launch of Bit-Wallet, CoinCapital and Bit-Wallet have moved into a local niche space of Bitcion ATMs, competing with the better known global companies.
Stefano Mezzetti says:
“Our primary market focus is the Italian and European market. We have a strong advantage in knowing the local market, local regulations, and in interacting with merchants interested in bringing Bitcoin to the masses. Unfortunately Italy is not an easy place for doing business, but on the other hand this is one of our advantages.”
The Vending Machine was designed in a partnership with CoinCapital, which is an Italian blockchain consultancy firm, helping spread the use and adoption and awareness of Bitcoin in Italy. CoinCapital, was the first company in Italy to organize the first hearings about Bitcoin at the Italian parliament.
The company is still developing new features, such as providing additional liquidity through external Bitcoin exchanges (it currently uses its own exchange to provide liquidity). Stefano Mezzetti said, the company is working on AML/KYC systems to make the Bitcoin ATMs more usable not only in Italy but throughout Europe, as crypto currencies come under increased scrutiny of the governments.
When asked about the differentiating factors of Bit-Wallet, Stefano cited a superior design and competitive cost of the Bitcoin ATM provided by Bit-Wallet. Each Bit-Wallet machine is a uni-directional Bitcoin ATM (allows once to purchase Bitcoin for fiat) and costs €3,100. The ATM weighs 20kg (about 45 pounds).
Italy isn’t the friendliest jurisdiction when it comes to promoting Bitcoin. In fact, back in July, Attorney General of Rome, Luigi Ciampoli, warned that bitcoin could be used by criminals and urged regulation that would allow authorities to trace and identify parties involved in Bitcoin transactions. Bank of Italy also warned about the potential risks surrounding Bitcoin.
Bitcoin is still growing in popularity in Italy, and several retail locations already have their own Bitcoin ATMs installed. The most recent Bitcoin ATM, installed at Unity, a contemporary clothing store, in the city of Reggio Emilia, was quite a hit with the locals. Now with Bit Wallet’s mission to conquer the Italian Crypto currency market we will be seeing many of these equipments coming out to various cities across Italy.

Gastrointestinal Problems - What Food to Eat and What Food Not to Eat?
Do you often suffer from digestive problems like gas, bloating, pain, diarrhea, or constipation? If so, you’re not alone. Millions of people struggle with gastrointestinal issues that can affect their mood, energy, and overall well-being. But don’t despair. There’s a lot you can do to improve your digestion and feel better in your gut.
One of the most important factors that influence your digestion is your diet. What you eat can either help or harm your gut health. Some foods can nourish your gut with beneficial bacteria, fiber, and anti-inflammatory compounds. Others can irritate your gut with excess acid, fat, or allergens. By choosing the right foods and avoiding the wrong ones, you can make a big difference in how your gut functions and how you feel.
In this article, we’ll show you what foods to eat and what foods not to eat if you have gastrointestinal problems. We’ll also explain why these foods affect your digestion and how they can help or hurt your gut health. Let’s get started!
What Food to Eat
If you want to improve your digestion and support your gut health, here are some foods you should include in your diet:
Yogurt: Yogurt is a delicious and nutritious food that can boost your gut health. It’s made from milk that has been fermented by good bacteria called probiotics. These probiotics live in your digestive tract and help break down food, absorb nutrients, and fight off harmful bacteria. They can also ease digestive issues like bloating, constipation, and diarrhea. They can even help you digest lactose, the sugar in milk that some people are intolerant to. But not all yogurt has probiotics. Look for yogurt that says “live and active cultures” on the label to make sure you get the benefits.
Apples: Apples are not only crunchy and sweet, but also good for your gut. They contain a type of fiber called pectin that feeds the friendly bacteria in your colon. This helps increase the bulk and movement of your stool, which can prevent constipation and diarrhea. It also helps lower the risk of infections and inflammation in your gut.
Fennel: Fennel is a vegetable with a bulbous base and feathery leaves that adds a licorice-like flavor to dishes. It’s also a great source of fiber that can keep you regular and prevent constipation. But that’s not all. Fennel also has a natural compound that relaxes the muscles in your digestive tract. This can reduce cramps, gas, and bloating that can make you uncomfortable.
Kefir: Kefir is a drink made from milk that has been fermented by yeast and bacteria called kefir grains. It’s similar to yogurt but thinner and tangier. Like yogurt, kefir has probiotics that can improve your digestion and gut health. It can also help you digest lactose better and reduce the symptoms of lactose intolerance like bloating, cramping, and gas.
Papaya: Papaya is a tropical fruit with a soft orange flesh and black seeds. It’s not only juicy and refreshing but also good for your digestion. It contains an enzyme called papain that helps break down proteins in your food. This can make digestion easier and faster. It may also help relieve symptoms of IBS like abdominal pain.
Citrus Peel: Citrus peel is the outer layer of citrus fruits like lemons, limes, and oranges. It may seem bitter and tough, but it can actually help your digestion. Citrus peel can stimulate your saliva, bile, and gastric juice production, which can aid digestion and prevent food from staying too long in your stomach. It can also help your liver detoxify your body from harmful substances. Plus, citrus peel has a compound called d-limonene (especially in orange peels) that can help your gut muscles move food along and prevent acid reflux and heartburn.
Other Foods: There are many other foods that can help your digestion and gut health. Some of them are fermented foods (such as kimchi, sauerkraut, kombucha), fatty fish (such as salmon, mackerel, sardines), high-fiber foods (such as whole grains, fruits, vegetables, beans), low-fat foods (such as fish, lean meats), and foods with low acidity (such as vegetables and beans). These foods can provide your gut with fiber, probiotics, omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, or anti-inflammatory compounds that can nourish your gut and protect it from damage.
What Food Not to Eat
If you want to avoid digestive problems and keep your gut healthy, here are some foods you should limit or avoid in your diet:
Spicy Foods: Spicy foods can add flavor and heat to your meals, but they can also hurt your gut. Spicy foods can irritate the lining of your stomach and esophagus, causing a burning sensation called heartburn. They can also cause acid reflux, which is when the stomach acid flows back up into your esophagus and throat. This can damage your esophagus and increase the risk of esophageal cancer. Spicy foods can also trigger diarrhea or constipation in some people who have sensitive guts.
Fatty Foods: Fatty foods can make you feel full and satisfied, but they can also slow down your digestion and make you constipated. Fatty foods can also make your stomach produce more acid, which can lead to heartburn and GERD. GERD stands for gastroesophageal reflux disease, which is a chronic condition that causes frequent acid reflux and inflammation in the esophagus. Fatty foods can also worsen symptoms of IBS by increasing gas production and abdominal pain.
Alcohol: Alcohol can be fun and relaxing in moderation, but it can also harm your gut in excess. Alcohol can damage the mucous membrane of your stomach and intestines, causing inflammation and bleeding. This can increase the risk of ulcers and gastritis. Alcohol can also interfere with the normal functioning of your digestive enzymes and bacteria, leading to malabsorption of nutrients and diarrhea. Alcohol can also worsen symptoms of IBS by increasing gas production and abdominal pain.
Caffeine: Caffeine can give you a boost of energy and alertness, but it can also mess with your digestion. Caffeine can stimulate the secretion of stomach acid and relax the lower esophageal sphincter, which can cause acid reflux and heartburn. It can also act as a diuretic, which can cause dehydration and electrolyte imbalance. Dehydration can affect your bowel movements and make you constipated or diarrhea. Electrolyte imbalance can affect your nerve and muscle function and cause cramps and spasms in your gut. Caffeine can also worsen symptoms of IBS by increasing cramping, diarrhea, and anxiety.
Carbonated Drinks: Carbonated drinks can be refreshing and fizzy, but they can also bloat your gut and make you burp. Carbonated drinks can introduce air into your digestive tract, causing bloating, belching, and gas. They can also increase the pressure in your stomach and weaken the lower esophageal sphincter, leading to acid reflux and heartburn. Carbonated drinks can also worsen symptoms of IBS by increasing gas production and abdominal pain.
Dairy Products: Dairy products can be a good source of calcium and protein, but they can also cause digestive problems for some people. Dairy products contain lactose, a type of sugar that some people have difficulty digesting. This can cause symptoms such as bloating, gas, cramping, diarrhea, and nausea. People who are lactose intolerant or have a milk allergy should avoid dairy products or use lactase enzyme supplements or lactose-free products. Lactase enzyme supplements can help break down lactose in your gut and prevent symptoms. Lactose-free products are made from milk that has been treated to remove lactose or from plant-based alternatives like soy or almond milk.
Gluten: Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley, rye, and some other grains. It can give bread its chewy texture and help baked goods rise. But it can also cause digestive problems for some people. Gluten can trigger an autoimmune reaction in people who have celiac disease, which is a condition that causes damage to the small intestine when gluten is consumed. This can lead to symptoms such as diarrhea, weight loss, anemia, fatigue, and malnutrition. People with celiac disease should avoid gluten completely to prevent further damage to their gut. Other people may have a non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS), which is not an autoimmune disorder but still causes digestive symptoms when gluten is consumed. People with NCGS may benefit from reducing or eliminating gluten from their diet.
Gastrointestinal problems are common and can affect your quality of life. But you don’t have to suffer in silence. You can improve your digestion and relieve your symptoms by eating certain foods and avoiding others. Some foods that can help your digestion include yogurt, apples, fennel, kefir, papaya, citrus peel, and other foods that are rich in fiber, probiotics, or anti-inflammatory compounds. These foods can nourish your gut and protect it from damage. Some foods that can worsen your digestion include spicy foods, fatty foods, alcohol, caffeine, carbonated drinks, dairy products, and gluten. These foods can irritate your gut and cause symptoms like heartburn, bloating, gas, diarrhea, and constipation. By following these dietary tips, you can support your gut health and enjoy better digestion. Remember, a happy gut means a happy you!

This year’s collaboration between North Dakota State University and Inwerken AG has come to a successful conclusion.
The sensors, LoRa transmission technology and the connection possibility to SAP were provided by WSN Technologies AG. This was not about the question of what we can get, but what we need. To begin with, there were a couple of sensors and LEDs on one device to make both the way from the sensors to SAP, and from SAP back to the device. Thus, we were not only able to read sensor data and evaluate it in SAP, but also to react based on these findings and, for example, to control an LED.
From a technological point of view, state-of-the-art frameworks / tools were used. These include the SAP IoT services, the SAP Cloud platform, SAPUI5, LoRa for transmitting the sensor data and Node-RED as a gateway tool to transfer the data to the SAP cloud.
The Scope of the project was the use of sensors for collecting environmental data such as room temperature, humidity etc. and the transfer of these to the gateway using LoRa technology. These are transferred by Node-RED to the SAP cloud platform. Finally, a UI5 application should visualize the entire concept.
Via the UI5 / Fiori application it is not only possible to map the current information of the sensors, but also to react accordingly to this data and, for example, also to control the device in order to switch an LED. Thus, within the framework of the project, a PoC was created to build further projects based on this scenario.
To further develop the prototype, we will expand the application in further stages of development. Sufficient ideas for this we have already collected in our product backlog. One of these features is the use of SAP’s new IoT enablement services with the Thing Modeler. This not only enables the presentation of the data, but also the modeling and configuration of all sensors connected to the IoT service.
Overall, the project was very successful and instructive. Thanks to good time management (despite the time difference) and barrier-free communication via weekly Skype meetings, we have been able to be kept informed about the current status of the project and any problems that arise in order to be able to provide appropriate assistance. Besides, it was an interesting one. | 60systems_science

The Soviet-manufactured assault rifle was a favorite among allied forces of the Eastern Bloc.
It’s distinguished by a hinged, fixed 10-round magazine along with a folding bayonet.
The SKS rifle eventually was distributed to the United States where it’s noteworthy among collectors.
It’s a grandfather to modern assault rifles establishing a precedent in several regards.
Discover 7 Things You Should Know about the SKS Rifle, below.

Table of Contents
#1. SKS Rifle History
The SKS rifle was first developed in 1945.
It’s a semi-automatic weapon that was designed by Russian Sergei Gavrilovich Simonov.
At first, the SKS rifle was only available in the Soviet Union.
Eventually, however, several other nations (including China) began importing the self-loading carbine.
For this reason, the SKS carbine became a favorite among insurgent forces allied with the Eastern Bloc.
The assault rifle was favored among troops for being lightweight and practical in guerrilla warfare.
Notwithstanding, the SKS rifle did feature several limitation that eventually designated it obsolete by the Soviet Armed Forces in the 1950s.
Eventually, the SKS was replaced by the AK-47 which features a larger magazine as well as select-fire capability.
Be that as it may, the SKS rifle remain active with several other military units for decades.
The initial Soviet production created 2.7 million SKS carbines.
Then, in the late-1980s, millions entered the civilian market of North America.
As a result, the SKS rifle remains popular among certain sporting groups.
The SKS rifle is distinguished by a hinged, fixed magazine and permanently attached bayonet.
Otherwise, the semi-automatic carbine features a conventional layout with wood stock and pistol grip.
The barrel is chrome-lined which increases heat and wear tolerance.
Moreover, the chrome-line barrel is able to resist corrosion without impacting precision.
The SKS rifle is equipped with a bayonet that is attached to the underside of the barrel.
It extends or retracts depending on need with both blade and spike bayonet models available.
The gas-operated rifle features a spring-loaded bolt carrier and gas piston operating rod.
The 2 components function together to trigger a reaction as well as feeds a new round from the magazine to the chamber.
These developments contributed to the rifle being recognized as one of the first great assault rifles.
Assault rifles are noteworthy for being shorter and lighter than traditional, long-range semi-automatic weapons.
Thus, the SKS rifle was a major innovation over previous firearms such as the Soviet SVT-40.
Nevertheless, there are a few design flaws with the SKS carbine.
For starters, most SKS designs feature a free-floating firing pin within the bolt.
Due to the design, it’s vital that gun handlers take special care during cleaning the firearm.
The SKS rifle is prone to “slamfires” – or accidental discharges of the rifle without pulling trigger.
The issue of slamfires is especially problematic for collectors which is why special care is an important reminder.
All in all, the assault rifle is straightforward to field strip and reassemble, making it easier to maintain.
#3. Purpose of SKS Rifle
World War II presented all types of new challenges for warfare.
In many regards, military innovation was soaring from developments in aviation to firearms.
During WWII it became apparent that existing long-range rifles were ineffective for most conditions of warfare.
In general most firefights took place between 110-330 yds which influenced the development of lethal, short-range assault rifles.
As a result, the Soviet Union responded with the SKS rifle while the U.S. answered with the M1 carbine.
The SKS carbine is inspired by the AVS-36 in terms of layout.
However, the SKS features a vastly different bolt mechanism (which remains the defining feature of the assault rifle).
Moreover, the caliber, size, magazine, and bolt lockup are also noticeably different.
The SKS rifle also borrows from the M44 as both rifles feature the same carbine and integral bayonet.
For these reasons, the Soviet Army officially adopted the SKS rifle into service starting in 1949.
Eventually, the AK-47 would replace the SKS rifle yet these types of carbines remain active throughout the world.
In fact, ceremonial Russian honor guards still use the SKS carbine similar to how the U.S. Armed Forces regard the M14.
Despite being far less known compared to the AK-47, the SKS is still found in civilian homes along with insurgency groups.
SKS rifle variants (more information, below) have been circulated in 70 different countries across the globe.

#4. Military Use
The SKS rifle has an ironic history in terms of military use.
At the time of development, the SKS carbine was groundbreaking for many of its designs.
However, a few years later, Soviet forces would determine the SKS rifle obsolete compared to the AK-47.
Nevertheless, the SKS carbine officially entered Soviet service in 1949.
The semi-automatic rifle was crucial serving troops during the 1956 Hungarian Revolution.
The glory in the Soviet Union, however, was short lived as the popularity with the SKS transformed to allied nations.
Members of the Eastern Block (such as the People’s Republic of China) utilized the SKS carbine heavily during the Cold War.
In fact, production of SKS rifles continued for years in China after manufacturing ceased in the Soviet Union.
Furthermore, the SKS carbine was a standard service rifle for Egypt and Yugoslavia.
Later, the assault rifle would become a popular weapon among left-wing guerilla movements supported by China and the Soviet Union.
The arms transfer was a major upgrade for separatist movements that had previously only had bolt-action rifles in the past.
In fact, the Viet Cong was heavily armed with the SKS rifle during the Vietnam War.
Additionally, the SKS was utilized by insurgent armies that overthrew colonial rule in Angola, Rhodesia, and South West Africa.
Still, by the early 1980s the SKS carbine was largely superseded by the AK-47 and another generation of assault rifles.
#5. Magazine Capacity
The SKS rifle is a semi-automatic weapon with a rate of fire of 35-40 rounds per minute.
The 7.62x39mm cartridge and box magazine features a 10-round stripper clip.
Operators have the choice of loading the box magazine by hand or via the stripper clip.
Meanwhile, cartridges stored in the magazine are removable by pulling back on the latch (near the trigger guard).
In military use, the stripper clips are generally disposable yet can also be reloaded and reused.
The short stroke gas piston, tilting bolt, self-loading action of the SKS was innovative for the time period.
Thus, the carbine continues to feature a higher muzzle velocity compared to firearms designated to replace it (like the AK-47).
In terms of mass, the SKS semi-automatic carbine weighs 8.5 lbs.
#6. Range & Accuracy
The SKS rifle is effective at a firing range of 440 yards.
Its muzzle velocity 734 m/s (2,411 ft/s) is extremely powerful for its time of conception.
The chrome-plated barrel extends to 20 inches on the 520 mm and 22 inches on the M59/66.
Furthermore, the SKS carbine features a front and rear sight.
The front sight is mounted on a hooded post while the rear sight is an open notch.
The sights are adjustable for elevation from 110 – 1,090 yards.
Moreover, the SKS rifle features an all-purpose battle setting on the sight ladder that is set at 330 yards.
#7. SKS Rifle Variants
The SKS carbine was initially designed by the Soviets before transferring hands to several allied nations.
The rifle played an important role during the Cold War being a player in various insurgencies and conflicts.
Moreover, the Soviet Union was willing to share its design with allies leading to numerous variants.
The range of SKS rifle variants is extensive including flip-up night sights and muzzle-mounted grenade launchers.
SKS carbines were also produced in China, Yugoslavia, North Korea, East Germany, Albania, and North Vietnam.
The majority of variants look similar aside from the Yugoslavian version (22mm grenade launcher) and Albanian version.
Despite being in the hands of the enemy for so long, SKS rifles are now popular among U.S. citizens.
The iconic assault rifle is popular among gun collectors as well as veterans of Vietnam.
For this reason, the SKS design ranks 9th all-time for most produced self-loading rifle.
Conclusion: SKS Rifle – 7 Things You Should Know
The SKS is worth considering among the fathers of assault rifles.
It was created shortly after the end of World War II when innovations in warfare were frequent.
There was a pressing need to produce an assault rifle that was lighter and accurate in close combat.
For this reason, the Soviet Union designed the SKS rifle and the rest was history.
The SKS carbine has been seen in nearly 70 countries and numerous conflicts even if its tenure in the Soviet Union was short.
The rifle was instrumental during the Cold War altering the direction of many countries, including China and Vietnam.
Today, its design has been exported to various countries around the globe including North America.
The SKS rifle is popular among gun collectors along with veterans of the Vietnam War.

Technically the first time I flew in an airplane is when I was two or younger but I don’t really count that as I have no memory of it.
The first “real” time I flew in an airplane was when I was in my late twenties and went on my first trip to Tasmania. Never having flown in an airplane before, been through an airport and being on my own it was all a bit daunting even if it was only a domestic flight.
Admittedly I was calmer once I’d gotten through security and had found the correct airport gate. Unlike the return journey where there is only a choice of five gates, in Brisbane there can be up to 50 as planes travel every domestically and internationally.
I was also afraid of missing my flight (probably watched too many movies where people missed their flight) so I got there an hour early. Once on the plane though I started to relax although the take off I found a harrowing experience. I think it’s the process of giving complete control to the pilots for my well-being as it’s not like being in a car or even on tram where you can take evasive action or attempt to minimize any impact. If something goes wrong you are completely in their hands.
I have never been more relieved to land even if it was only temporary as I had to take another connecting flight later the same day.
I still haven’t got over my feeling of apprehension and even through my first episode of turbulence I am still not a great flyer but am trying to become more relaxed with each airplane journey. | 64travel

Here are a few examples of success stories and testimonials received...
I've subscribed to Paul's newsletter for a few years now and always look forward to the excellent information and education each one provides.
$35,000 dollars at 6% for two years, with interest only payments
I also want to tell you that your home study course on RRSP investing was a huge help with landing our first RRSP mortgage.
For the first RRSP mortgage, I wanted to keep it simple just to get one under my belt. I ended up borrowing $35,000 dollars at 6% for two years, with interest only payments.
I felt well prepared, educated and in some cases I was answering questions amongst my peers who have been investing much longer than I have been!
In my opinion Paul Blacquiere is one of the most knowledgeable and diligent investors I've seen...
I have recommended his educational materials to a lot of new investors and look forward to the materials he releases each month.
I have met him once and consider him to be a pretty down to earth guy as well. Thanks Paul!
I really enjoyed learning about flipping properties
I didn’t realize there were so many opportunities in real estate investing. I really enjoyed learning about flipping properties… Thanks for including me.
Jim and I currently own a million dollars in investment properties
My name is Helene Lamadeleine and am very proud to say I am a graduate of the Spirepoint Real Estate Investment Class of Fall 2008. My husband, Jim, and I started our real estate investment company, BELLEHOLLY INVESTMENTS, last year.
Why did I sign up for the Spirepoint program? Well…it started with my husband, Jim, attending a week-end introductory workshop on real estate investment, hosted by an American company. He came home from this workshop acting “like a man possessed”… he was determined that he just had to sign up for the program that was offered… he was confident that the cost for the program of $25,000 was the right thing to do. Needless to say, I wasn’t quite comfortable for us to spend that kind of money but, I trusted his business instincts and supported his decision (after much intense discussion). Jim went ahead and embarked on his real estate investment training program…
It was a few months later that Jim discovered Spirepoint and again he became “like a man possessed” …He said he wished he had known about the Spirepoint program earlier. At that point, I decided I had to find out for myself what this was all about… so I signed up. Well, the tables were now turned. After the Spirepoint class, I was acting “like a woman possessed”… After every class I would tell Jim what I had learned, and the tools and handouts that I had received.
What was interesting is that, where Jim’s training had focused on ‘doing flips’, with my Spirepoint training, I was focusing on how to buy and manage properties, how to run and manage a real estate investment business. While Jim was still busy pouring through training binders and listening to CDs, I was ‘taking action’ and pushing him to take action with me.
The greatest value you get from the Spirepoint program is that you are given all the tools to help you get started… and you are also strongly encouraged to take action. There is an ‘action assignment’ after each class. I can tell you from my own experience, you can maximize the value of your training by taking action as you go through the program. It’s only when you actually make an offer, go through the process of closing the deal, find tenants, deal with tenant issues… that you actually come up against lots of different issues and questions… and Spirepoint can help you with those issues as you go through the program.
The cost of this program is incredible!!!!! The value you get from it: intensive training, tried and tested tools and templates, and advice from experienced and successful real estate investment professionals… sharing of information with your fellow students… It’s an incredible return on your investment!!!!
Taking the Spirepoint program helped me become a professional real estate investor in a short time. Jim and I currently own a million dollars in investment properties = 7 doors as they say in the industry = 7 doors meaning 7 units rented. We closed our first deal on March 30 (a triplex), a second deal closed on April 16 (another triplex)… and we closed on a single family house in Orleans on July 10th…and we’re looking to do a joint venture purchase as soon as we find the right property.
I couldn’t have done this without the training and support I got from Spirepoint. If you are serious about getting into real estate investment, sign up for the course and take action!
Jim always comes up with some sort of motivational saying… one of them he uses frequently that I’d like to share with you as my closing:
WINNERS FIND A WAY… LOSERS FIND EXCUSES.
Good luck with your real estate investment activities.
I just wanted to personally thank you for the prompt reply to my question and the bonus you gave me as well. I really appreciate your willingness to share your knowledge and expertise.
Raised $2.3 million in RRSP money
I've used RRSP 2nd and 3rd mortgages to get the down payment back after closing with a traditional 20% down and 80% bank financing.
I have raised close to $1,000,000 in RRSP money over the last 2 years.
Updated January 2017: Raised over $2.3 million in RRSP money
The tips and newsletters are always useful to read and sometimes surprise me on what can actually be done in real estate investing.
Paul has provided a well-thought out and organized guide to starting your own investment club!
I have purchased RRSP financing. It has explained very good with examples about RRSP being used to do the deals creatively.
Also, Paul has been excellent answering any questions I had. Definitely it worked for me and I was on my way to do new deal using RRSP as a down payment.
Handouts and Excel sheets… will save huge amounts of time. AAA
This course is a must, it gives everyone common sense things that you need to know and do, and all the handouts and excel sheets are fantastic and will save huge amounts of time. “A” “A” “A”.
Thank you again for the many wonderful and informative webinars you have been hosting!
Paul Blacquiere gives precise, relevant information for real estate investors. He knows what he's talking about.
It is a full scale course for the beginner and experienced investor
Coming into the course 3 months ago, I wasn’t sure what to expect.
Now I have to say that it is a full scale course, suits from the beginner to the more experience investor.
It’s not only informative, full of brilliant ideas, but also truly inspirational to me.
I will be closing on my first property
I will be closing on my first property on May 4th, and am on my way to change my financial future. I’ve finally found the courage to go ahead with this after thinking about it for so long. Thanks a lot.
I've known and worked with Paul Blacquiere since 2007 (or maybe even 2006...not sure) and I highly recommend him as a very sharp Real Estate investor and educator.
I continue to work with Paul on a variety of projects, and I consider him to be top notch when it comes to integrity and expertise.
Armed us with valuable knowledge at a fraction of the price
I am a education fanatic, so I went on to take other courses, read books, and watch webinars to see if I could gain other tips and lessons not provided in the Spirepoint course.
Looking back, I realize that Paul and Spirepoint had provided me and my fellow trainees with such a terrific complete educational program. It armed us with valuable knowledge at a fraction of the price of other larger more well known real estate training corporations.
I also appreciated that Paul was from Ottawa so the information was from my local market was invaluable but the theory & practical information he imparted could easily apply to any city found in Canada.
Returning as a member of Spirepoint and reviewing all the resources on the website, I am thrilled to be able to re-watch courses and learn from all the collaborators who are sharing valuable up to date information of real estate investing.
(My son) was able to purchase his first home in Ottawa... 4 months before his 21st birthday
Not only has Spirepoint's training helped me, it has been invaluable for my son who at 14 years old decided that he would set a goal to purchase his first home by the time he was 21.
My husband and I requested that the Board of Directors of OREIO in Ottawa allow him to attend their meetings with us so that he could become familiar with real estate lingo and how to network. With their approval he became the youngest paid member of OREIO at 15 years old.
He used the information I learned from Spirepoint to create his own plan. He worked full-time as a security guard coming out of high school, saved all his money at a minimum wage job and was able to purchase his first home in Ottawa 2 years ago where he lives with university students. He purchased it 4 months before his 21st birthday.
With this Spirepoint training my family has been able to set our real estate investment goals and are now seeing them come to fruition.
Paul is amazing with detail and organization! I love to refer back to his education products because of his passion for detail. He knows his stuff and will not lead you down the wrong path! He is a true man of integrity and you will truly see that by working with him.
Your Private Lending course with Paul Blacquiere has been invaluable and informative. I made the right decision in taking this course before I lend out private money for the first time.
His courses are absolutely full of an abundance of detail
I really appreciate the support, commitment and time that Paul Blacquiere of Spirepoint Real Estate puts into educational programs.
I am a Real Estate investor and Realtor. I am always looking to learn more and his courses are absolutely full of an abundance of detail.
Anyone looking to find great resources to educate themselves in the field of real estate investing – this is the place!
Greatest course for real estate investing I’ve ever taken
his was the greatest course for real estate investing that I’ve ever taken.
Great detail, very practical. Looking forward to using the Excel worksheets.
Paul has aggregated years of knowledge and experience into an approachable and easy to understand system. The breadth of topics covered means that every student will find varied information that is of particular value to them, regardless of their investing background.
Would recommend Paul's services to anyone interested in real estate
I know Paul both through his work at Spirepoint and at OREIO. Paul is very knowledgeable and approachable.
I've taken several courses from Paul and Spirepoint. They were very insightful and thorough.
I was extremely pleased with the result and would recommend Paul's services to anyone interested in real estate.
I bought your course and it was one of the best investments I've made in my real estate education. I've had a lot of success applying the course materials. It was well worth the money. I highly recommend this course!
Great Guy to work with. Honest and acts quick on matters. Very knowledgeable in real estate investments. I would work with him again in the future.
I look forward to learning a great deal from all of your material. I have heard you speak and listened to some of the webinars, they have always been very informative and full of great ideas.
I placed my first offer during the course
The slow and steady pace of this was exactly what I needed to get my confidence and the knowledge to go to the next step in my real estate ventures.
I placed my first offer on an investment property during the course and got invaluable advice from Paul and my fellow classmates during the process.
No non-sense, legitimate info, I like it.
Net profit of $40k in less than 3 months
We just did our first flip project in Gatineau (cross river from Ottawa in Quebec side) and made net profit of $40k in less than 3 months.
Purchase price: 280k
Resell price: 340k
Total cost: close to 20k
Holding period: 2 months 19 days
Net profit: 40k
The fun part is, we did not do any renovation besides staging!!
I recently took one of their advanced real estate courses and found it to be very well prepared and professionally presented.
The information received was very good value for the money, not to mention the time it saved in not having to develop the spreadsheet tools and put together the systems that they offered as part of the course....
Good quality people, offering good quality products and services!
All your courses are very well prepared and organized. They gave me an overall picture of Canadian real estate investing and allowed me to apply all the rules in real life.
I have learned from them a lot and looking forward to come back for some reference material and your new book. Keep it up, I like your work!
Your training re RRSP investments...paid off greatly for me and my clients.
I am long over due for a reach out to you to say "THANK YOU" for your continued emails and information over the years at what seems like just the right time for my/our REI career.
I subscribed years ago to your training re RRSP investments for REI and it paid off greatly for me and my clients.
I now have a great lawyer in Norfolk who is excellent with RRSP paperwork and documentation as have worked together to understand the process and have completed a few transactions and I have been very pleased.
Thank you and look forward to connecting re next growth of multi unit properties.
Paul’s RRSP mortgage course is a must have for serious RE investors to have in their tool box. After day 1 of the course, I knew it was worth its weight in gold. Thanks Paul 🙂
I really enjoy Paul's newsletter and website. He has been very informative ever since I signed up and met him at an event he was co-host to! Keep up the fantastic information
Paul is a very informative and helpful professional real estate investor. He has an extensive real estate background. He is always eager to share his knowledge informally and formally. I truly value the information he frequently provides.
For the last 5 years I have been reading the Spirepoint newsletter. It has given me many tips that have helped with my real estate investing successes.
I've currently used my own RRSPs to lend in the form of a mortgage using the Creative RRSP Mortgage Financing course. I feel like my portfolio will grow with very solid, stable returns, and with predictability. The course is very easy to understand.
What I like best about Paul is his professionalism, his dedication and willingness to take the time to do things right, his great sense of humor.
I recommend Paul with my highest regards and someone who takes action with your best interests at heart.
I know that my future will be better for all the knowledge I have gained
Thanks for a great course and learning experience. I know that my future, that of my family, and that of other people’s will be better for all of the knowledge I have gained and will put into practice.
I hope to remain involved with you in the future through efforts of my own. Robert Kiyosaki says to surround yourself with like minded people if you want to be successful and you are very successful and thank you for “giving back” to everyone, another thought of Robert’s.
A complete system for real estate investing in Canada
What an awesome course! You have a complete system for real estate investing in Canada that is beneficial to new and seasoned investors alike.
This is the ultimate real estate investing course for Canadians. You have given me simple systems to follow that will impact my wealth forever. Thank you!
Without it, I probably would’ve been just reading books
I loved the course, especially the section about RRSP mortgages. I am more excited about this business now that I have more knowledge. Without it, I probably would’ve been just reading books attending one day seminars and not have received the confidence I have gained here. Thank you, Spirepoint!
I recommend this to everyone who is interested in real estate investing
Fantastic course. Really helped fill in all the blank spots of all my unknowns (I had many blank spots). I recommend this to everyone who is interested in real estate investing.
I recently took Bruce M Firestone’s Real Estate Evolution course and am pleased to recommend it and him to anyone who is interested in furthering their knowledge and understanding of today’s dynamic investment market.
Prof Bruce brings a unique combination of knowledge, entrepreneurial skill and abundant enthusiasm that is both insightful and infectious.
Dr Firestone not only passes on his tremendous knowledge and experience in the field but also his belief that anyone who is willing to put in the time and effort and follow his roadmap can succeed beyond their wildest dreams with a unique real estate investment business model and personal business for life that will provide you and your family with above average returns for generations to come...
For anyone who is willing to challenge themselves he is truly an inspiration both as a teacher and coach
I purchased Paul's recent RRSP Mortgage course. I find Paul's info and videos so very helpful, and a very easy website to navigate through for education that is absolutely priceless.
I've greatly enjoyed and benefited from learning about real estate investing on spirepoint.com. Your programs are well put together, with experts who are active and experienced in real estate investing. I'm very confident that my investment in time and money will come back to me many folds as a result of the training you offer. Keep up the great work!
Your RRSP training has changed my life. Quit my job at age 30 and I will never have to go back.
I have close to $500,000 in RRSP mortgage commitments
My wife and I had been R/E investors in Fort Mcmurray for approximately 3 years and were quickly running out of our own/investor capital to use. I kept hearing your name being mentioned in reference to an RRSP mortgage course, something of which I knew virtually nothing about. Once I received the course material I could not put it down, I think I had the whole course read in one sitting!
I used the knowledge I received from that course to begin arranging future RRSP mortgages with investors who were already investing with cash and would eventually need another avenue to withdraw from. To date I have close to $500,000 in RRSP mortgage commitments of which I am soon going to begin acting on.
Anyone who is serious about investing in Real Estate and using other peoples money MUST get this course. It is required reading!
My favorite part about the course is the easy to read/understand format. You have included lots of diagrams and screen shots to make it very user friendly.
Placed my first RRSP Mortgage for $25,000
Paul’s Creative Financing course has help me move the yard stick from being an average real estate investor to understanding how the sophisticated investors do it.
The knowledge that I learned from the course plus a consultation with Paul has allowed me to be place my first Investor’s RSP Mortgage for $25,000.
I can now offer new opportunities to all my current investors, not to mention all the unsatisfied ‘traditional’ RSP holders out there!
Knowledge is confidence. Thanks Paul
My big “Lesson Learned” was – put in offers!
OK now I get it – the importance of putting in an offer sooner rather than later. It now makes sense that the first half of the course is geared towards preparing us to make offers; and, for people like me, the seconds half is to give us the time to actually put in the offers!
So, my big “Lesson Learned” was – put in offers! Put ’em in early and put ’em in often! It’s the best way to completely understand the whole process.
Thank you again for all your knowledge and experience, Prof Bruce. It has truly changed the way I look at real estate investing, and residential, industrial and commercial property.
You shared amazing content and case studies in a way that no one else has ever done--you've opened my eyes to so many new possibilities
It was definitely worth the investment
This was the most comprehensive course of materials for someone that is serious about investing in Real Estate in Canada. Our course was specially designed with real information specific to the Winnipeg market. It was definitely worth the investment.
Having purchased your course on using RRSP's as a source of funding for down payments was incredible and I intend to implement it this year.
Our real estate investment company venture has been looking to grow and take on bigger multi-family deals with investors. Shortly after we embarked on that journey we engaged with Paul at Spirepoint to accelerate our learning.
Our hopes going in were that Paul would take a look at our specific situation and help us align our actions and fill in some of our knowledge gaps so that we could achieve our goals in the most efficient way possible. In other words put us further ahead on the learning curve by allowing us to leverage his experience.
Paul did exactly that, tailoring his advice to our experience and goals, all while being an incredibly encouraging voice showing genuine interest in our success. We will work with Paul again in a heartbeat
Paul has a great sense for real estate investing and educating. It was a wonderful learning experience and helped me greatly in achieving goals with real estate investing. Having gained the knowledge of investing to take the fear out of real estate, Paul was essential with his great guidance.
If you want to skip the fluff, deal with Spirepoint
After the training, everything is suddenly crystal clear and I feel like I’ve been through the process a hundred times. He has a great ability of making things easy that would otherwise be tough to grasp.
I have attended and listened to a number of real estate courses in the past. If you want to get to the point, skip the fluff and learn something valuable quickly, I encourage you to deal with Spirepoint.
You have given me the only thing I have been lacking
Thank you so much for everything. I now have the knowledge to become extremely successful. You have given me the only thing I have been lacking.
Awesome course. I would recommend this to anyone interested in investing.
I have worked as a supplier for Paul for a few years now, I have found him to be very well organized and focused on customer service. Paul has been a pleasure to work with.
Paul's newsletter and webinars are a constant source of valuable information and keeps me aware of all the amazing possibilities that exist in real estate.
Real estate investing is the tool
In January of 2008 I went to listen to Darren Weeks speak to a crowd of people in Grande Prairie and was completely blown away by what he was saying, this whole concept of investing in real estate was new to me but made complete sense. Like everybody I want to be financially free, but I also have a 3 year old daughter with severe Cerebral Palsy, she is very demanding on my wife and I, physically, mentally and financially. I thought to my self WOW real estate investing is the tool I need in order to be able to stay at home and spend time with my family as well as provide my daughter with the quality of life she deserves. I immediately started reading Robert Kiyosaki and advisor series books, and also went to Darren’s 2-day intensive real estate workshop in Edmonton. That is where I heard about Spirepoint, I really like what they have to offer and read their monthly newsletters. I wished that I lived in Ontario so I could take more of their courses. Since Darren’s workshop I have teamed up with 2 business partners, one of whom also has a child in a wheelchair with muscular dystrophy. We have started our own real estate investment corporation, started a website www.trifectaventures.com and have acquired 6 doors between us. While our immediate plan is to aquire more rental houses for cash flow, our ultimate goal is to build multi-unit accessible living buildings for people in wheelchairs and with special needs. Although we have not quite reached our goal yet I feel we have accomplished a lot in a short amount of time and are on the right track to one day reach our goal, And we owe it all to Darren Weeks and Spirepoint. Thanks again.
His RRSP program I have personally used many times
Paul is a very detail oriented person who believes in over delivering in anything he does for you.
His technical ability and attention to detail allow Paul to deliver exceptional products and programs.
An example of this would be his RRSP program which I have personally used many times and will continue to use in the future.
Your training about finding down payment was very helpful and brings clarity on different options and respective implications.
Thanks for another great training.
I am just starting out in the Real Estate Investment business and I am so excited to apply this new-found information to my business. It has helped me see the potential highest and best use in real estate transactions I have been looking at as well as in our own personal property. Bruce is a professional yet approachable person with a wealth of knowledge and excitement that is infectious. Every resource was backed up by instruction on how to use it properly. A great deal of care and preparation was obviously put into developing the course. Every session started and ended on time which is a testament to the careful preparation. Thank-you, Bruce and Paul!
Bruce and Paul are both very quick to return emails and prompt at beginning sessions. I thoroughly enjoyed my consultation time with Bruce. I was a little nervous being a novice speaking to a pro but he made me feel at ease immediately. The assignment grading was expedient and thorough. The feedback was inspiring.
Yes. I would recommend the Spirepoint training programs to both beginner and advanced real estate investors. There is a wide variety of courses available which could be applied to any number of investors depending on their needs.
Have used my own RRSP for investment purchases
I have purchased the RRSP training course and have used my own RRSP for investment purchases.
My first venture has been a success at this point, and looking forward to using the funds over again, as the ones I hold keep dropping in value.
Added over a dozen properties to my portfolio
The RRSP Mortgages course has completely changed how I put real estate deals together. Now when I'm out hunting for motivated sellers to do sandwich rent to owns with, I have a second option to offer the sellers.
When they can wait a few years for a sale, I do rent to own. But, if they are super motivated to sell NOW, and their price is low enough, then I can use the RRSP Mortgage strategy.
I have been recycling the same down payment over and over. With the RRSP Mortgage strategy, I am recovering my down payment from one purchase, and able to use it for the next. And again. And again. It allows me to get into properties for very little to no money out of my pocket.
As a result of taking the RRSP Mortgages course, I have added over a dozen properties to my portfolio.
Would have been helpful 5 years ago when I started investing
This course would have been helpful 5 years ago when I started investing in Real Property. It was very helpful for my business. Thanks again for everything. I’ll recommend this course to everyone I know.
I was a regular member and member of the Executive at OREIO during Paul's time as President.
If you want to learn the technical aspects of real estate investing as well as the "insider secrets" practical ways that you can prosper from it, Paul has the hands on, feet on the street experience and expertise to guide anyone into becoming a successful real estate investor.
If real estate is your chosen vehicle to prosperity, you need Paul as a mentor. No ifs, ands, or buts, he's your go-to guy!
Added $900/mo cashflow & saved $45k in CMHC fees
I only recently received your RRSP course and I am awestruck. Absolutely necessary if you are serious about real estate investing.
Already I am taking the info from your course and using it on an in-progress deal to add 900 dollars a month cash flow and save 45,000 in CMHC fees.
I will be encouraging every investor I meet to buy this course. Thank you again!
Paul is an excellent resource, detail oriented and dependable. He is well versed with Real Estate investment strategies, marketing, planning and execution and follows through on plans. I have learned a lot from and continue to do so. He would prove to be a valuable asset to any organization.
We have joint ventured all our properties
We started investing in Real Estate in September 2007. To date we purchased 3 condos, and 1 house on our own. With our partners we have purchased 2 apartment buildings (one 24 unit and 1 18 unit) that are in the process of being condo converted. And with those same partners we have purchased another 11 properties. All are rented except the one we just finished renovating. Recently we set up two of our rental units as Executive rentals and increased our revenue by about 60%. We offer tenants an opportunity to own through our Rent-To-Own program. And…this month we will be closing on a strip mall. How did we do it? Other than four properties on our own – we have joint ventured all our properties. Are we excited?? You bet. I read your newsletter every month and get many great ideas. It is so inspiring to read your success story as well.
Paul really is the kind of guy you'd want managing an investment property. His attention to detail is refreshing and he has a wealth of information available to him. I learned a lot from the Spirepoint courses he put together.
36 Unit Townhouse Complex
I was a student of yours back in 2008-ish. Your course gave me the knowledge and power to purchase a 36 unit townhouse complex which I still own today. So... THANKS!
Placed my first RRSP mortgage for $45,000… almost 0 down
I have been Paul's student and after taking Paul’s RRSP course, I was able to place my first RRSP mortgage for $45,000, which made my deal as almost 0 down and I'm already working on my next deal.
I found it really easy to convince lenders, as most of them were eager to get a good return on their RRSPs. Also, Paul is very quick answering my doubts.
Great value for the money spent
Anyone interested in real estate investing should take this course. Great value for money spent.
Just a note to thank you for the feedback and tips on my final assignment. Your advice and suggestions have been noted.
I would also like to thank you and Spirepoint for delivering a great real estate course, which I enjoyed very much. I learned a lot, and the real life examples and stories you shared with the class were an added bonus.
Thank you again Prof Bruce for sharing your knowledge—I will definitely recommend this course to anyone interested in becoming a real estate entrepreneur
Paul is one of the most detail oriented professionals in the real estate investment industry. He well versed, knowledgeable and takes the time to ensure that his clients are well informed and comfortable every step of the way. It's always a pleasure doing business with Paul.
Before the course… I never took any action
Before the course I was reading books, listening to audio cds and talking to people about real estate but I never took any action. During the course, I took lots of action and met the realtor that helped me find a property that looks like a really good deal and right after the course I got my first investment property. Thanks Paul for providing us invaluable information and such an inspirational environment that helped me to take lots of actions and helped me to start my journey to financial freedom through Real Estate.
One of the few education providers that believes in value and teaching fundamentals
Paul is a beacon of light in industry filled with wrong turns. He has helped guide hundreds of investors away from the rocky shores and onto a proper course.
He is one of the few education providers that believes in value and teaching fundamentals. I would not hesitate to invest directly with Paul and strongly recommend his course to all my clients.
I loved the course and it helped greatly in the purchase of my first rental property. I have put together a good team of professionals using the tips from the course and I'm ready to continue... Have plans to buy second property this year. Thanks
I now have the confidence necessary
I now have the confidence necessary for taking the first steps to building my business and portfolio as a professional real estate investor. The small class size provided a facilitating environment and allowed for specific questions and issues to be more thoroughly explored.
I would say Paul gives some of the best value for the price you pay on real estate investing
I realized the huge benefit to being able to use RRSP money
I originally bought your "Creative financing using RRSP mortgages" home study course when I was first getting my Rent To Own business started.
I realized the huge benefit to being able to use RRSP money and this has been an awesome course. I am also currently a student of your new course about using "non-arms length RRSP mortgages".
The information that you provide in these courses is second to none and an immense help to someone like myself who is a new investor.
I cannot recommend Paul's training enough
I took Paul's Investment Property Consultant advanced training course which provided me the knowledge and confidence to build my own real estate investment business.
Paul's patience and knowledge is surpassed only by his dedication to every students success. If you want to succeed in real estate investing I cannot recommend Paul's training enough.
I now have the confidence necessary for taking the first steps to building my business and portfolio as a professional real estate investor. The small class size provided a facilitating environment and allowed for specific questions and issues to be more thoroughly explored.
The building inspection field trip was also a great opportunity that provided some hands on experience and some basic and principles of what to recognize in a building`s construction.
2 weeks after the course, I was able to impress a building inspector during the inspection of a house that would become my new primary residence.
Paul is very knowledgeable, honest and down to earth. He won't steer you wrong or take advantage of your money. I strongly recommend him.
I was introduced to Spirepoint in April of 2011 through a friend, and purchased your Creative financing Using RRSP mortgages in may 2011. I purchased my first property in July 2011.
I currently own six doors all in Edmonton and in the process of acquiring my seventh. I have used one RRSP mortgage for 65K and plan on doing two more for 50k each, so that I can get back 100k in down payment funds.
I am also in the process of raising 400k in a syndicated RRSP mortgage to acquire a piece of property to build 28 units on outside of Edmonton. I intend on having the mortgage subrogated to construction financing.
Great weekend. Relevant information. I was certainly skeptical before the first session and believe that the first session was almost worth the value. I can now take action and focus. Thank you
Just one tip saved me literally thousands of dollars
The course is a ‘must’ for anyone who is serious about real estate investing. During the time I was taking the course – I made several successful offers and actually closed on one property. I was able to make the offer and have it accepted by the buyer for a price that was significantly under market value: just one Spirepoint tip saved me literally thousands of dollars on this deal.
Without the information I learned, I would not have had the courage to take the necessary steps to begin a real estate investing business. The information presented in this course is easy to understand and completely relevant to any type of real estate market you may be investing in.
It’s giving me confidence to keep studying real estate
I have been reading Spirepoint’s Newsletter for several years and I have found it very helpful. It’s giving me confidence to keep studying real estate as a means to financial freedom.
He gives you all the details you need
With Paul's investing with RRSP course, you get lots of value. He gives you all the details you need, in an easy to learn format.
I would highly recommend Paul's course to anyone that wants to learn how to invest with other people's RRSPs.
I have purchased 26 properties with JV Partners and RRSPs
I attended Spirepoint’s RRSP mortgage workshop in 2008. I have since purchased 26 properties with JV Partners and RRSPs.
I strongly recommend everyone to take the course… Money well spent… Thanks!!
I now feel qualified to start building my own portfolio
I have to commend Spirepoint for a truly exceptional course. Their presentations, delivery and widespread knowledge of how to invest in Real Estate were simply first class.
I now feel both qualified, enabled and enthused to start building my own Real Estate investment portfolio.
I strongly recommend the course for anyone wanting to make shrewd Real Estate investments and who want to build a successful Real Estate portfolio over time.
Congratulations to Spirepoint for a brilliant course!
Spirepoint gets my vote. I find Paul to be very well informed, authentic, a pleasure to deal with and his course material easy to understand.
In comparison to their American counterpart I feel that Spirepoint is genuinely dedicated to offering tools to aspiring investors rather than feeding their own bottom line.
Paul is an excellent go to guy in Real Estate investing… he is more than willing to share his knowledge, experience & expertise through his newsletters, webinars & courses he has produced!
They are offering a chance to jump ahead of the rest
I’m a Realtor and a real estate investor. I’ve gone to a lot of seminars and have read a lot of books. What they are offering is a chance to jump ahead of the rest.
I have read all the newsletters, articles and have been to my first course. I was so impressed with the level of expertise, information and opportunities passed on to me, I am making sure that for the next one, I won’t forget to bring my friends, who I know missed out.
I have worked in the real estate industry for the past 40 years. My background includes assessment, financing, appraising, management and education.
Subscribing to Paul's Spirepoint newsletter has reinforced many of the fundamentals of investing in real property in a clear and cocise manner, reinforced with real-life, easy-to-understand examples.
Fantastic guy. Very knowledgeable about real estate. Have not had many clients as organized and professional as Paul.
My latest purchase is the RRSP course and updating to get the live RRSP training that is awesome and very soon to put our own RRSPs in Real Estate, then move on to Arms Length.
With this course I have learned so much - lots of people friends, family and coworkers, friends at the church I attend have not heard of this before. They said they want RRSPs, TFSA, etc., especially when I mention possible interest rates they could get.
I have also bought into the Inner Circle Membership - the audio recordings have been so great, so much info.
Ultimate benefit I have received was the confidence to move forward
The ultimate benefit I have received from the Spirepoint program was the confidence to move forward, speak to Real Estate professionals and place offers.
Paul did a wonderful job at encouraging me and others to take action as that is when the real learning process begins. He arms his students with a great deal of information, real life experiences & lessons and tools to properly make an informed decision throughout the full real estate transaction.
I couldn’t help but feel prepared, informed and enthused about starting my real estate investing career after completing the course.
What can I say about Paul? There is simply not enough room in this box to say it all so I will simply say that without Paul's courses and advice, newsletters etc. I would not be the investor I am today!! (6 doors and going strong!!!)
I was able to confidently purchase my first investment property
Until I took the course from Paul, I was strictly a reader of real estate investing books. Mid way through the course, I had detailed, actionable information (based on Paul’s lessons learned the hard way) so that I was able to confidently purchase my first investment property. I still use the course material every time I have added to my real estate portfolio.
UPDATE – Email from Susan
I was in your first ever class, so I know your program gives all that one needs to become an action-taker!
I bought two properties in the Kingston area, the second one was done two years ago. Since then, I was focused on other priorities, and in fact, moved to Hamilton to go to school as my “retirement project.” Yes, I did retire, one of my goals I announced within the class!
The webinar last week has ignited my plan to continue to expand my investment property business, using your system. My next step is to acquire a third property using my own resources, and then make it into the category in which all subsequent financing is more heavily weighted on the property’s financial picture than on my own income.
Hamilton has a good number of investment opportunities for single family homes. There is also an on-going supply of smaller 6+ units, at about $60K per unit; perhaps I will progress to that type of investment along with JV partners in the medium-term.
Yes, I will be joining the webinar this evening, to be inspired and motivated.
I have found all of the information that Paul supplies to be upfront, honest and very relevant. Paul provides all the info that you need to understand whichever real estate investment strategy you are using. I found his RRSP course extremely valuable and try to use what I learned from it whenever I can
I have known Paul for a number of years. If I was to invest in real estate, Paul is the only person I would even consider working with, and I know a LOT of people involved in real estate investment. He is a professional, a man of integrity and character, and a real gentleman.
Paul has proven himself as a successful real estate investor who shares his knowledge and experience generously. I highly recommend him.
It helps you get off your DUFF and at least try to put out an offer
Teleclasses were amazing. It helps you get off your DUFF and at least try to put out an offer…do nothing get nothing but the class helps you to get out of your comfort zone and get started
I first met Paul through a network of Real Estate professionals and was very impressed by his depth of knowledge and expertise.
It is not surprising to now see him share that experience through informal channels like an on-line forum or via formal training programs. (I took a Spirepoint class and found most insightful).
An accomplished speaker and great motivator, you'd be hard pressed to find a better personal coach.
I have done two RRSP loans since I took your course at 15% interest
Thank you Paul. I’ve been a landlord for 10 years and wanted to get a better return on my money. I took your Private Lending course and started to think and act like a bank. I have done two RRSP loans since I took your course at 15% interest which has been a fantastic return. I highly recommend the Private Lending course as it has relevant Canadian course content and expert speakers.
I highly recommend it to anyone who doesn’t want to invest $40k+
This course was “Excellent”. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants serious education in “RE”… and doesn’t want to invest $40K+… like one of those “Wealthy Father” deals!
Comment submitted while attending RRSP mortgage webinar: "We already have the course and is fantastic value. Just received a cheque today for $50,000 on a RRSP mortgage."
I wish all investors were like Paul!
It was a pleasure working with Paul on numerous investment construction projects, his professionalism, expertise, and attitude made every project go smoothly with minimal hiccups. I wish all investors were like Paul!
He takes all problems as challenges and works towards a solution through a positive win-win methodology. I strongly recommend and endorse Mr. Blacquiere. | 16economics

But the most impressive is the great number of works exhibited in the house: Can you believe that there are 25,000 paintings in the whole house?

Purpose: Hepatic uptake transporter Organic Anion Transporting Polypeptides (OATPs) are involved in the uptake of glucuronides. The purpose of the current study is to investigate the involvement of the three most important hepatic uptake transporters OATP 1B1, 1B3 and 2B1 in the uptake of flavonoid glucuronides. Based on the affinity of three model compounds i.e. wogonoside (wogonin 7-glucuronide), luteolin 3’-glucuronide and apigenin 7-glucuronide, we further aimed at developing a screening method to evaluate the substrate affinity of the transporters more efficiently.
Methods: OATP 1B1, 1B3 and 2B1 overexpressed HEK-293 cell lines were used in the current study. Concentration dependent cell uptake study (1, 5, 10, 25, 50 µM) were performed to acquire the Km and Vmax of the model compounds. Cross-inhibition studies were performed to screen the substrate in OATP 1B1 overexpressed cells. Wogonoside, luteolin 3’-glucuronide and estradiol 17-glucuronide, a widely used in vitro substrate for OATP 1B1, were used as substrates. A series of compounds (including a well-recognized OATP 1B1 inhibitor rifampicin) were incubated with the substrates as inhibitors to determine their inhibition ability. All experiments were performed in triplicates. The intracellular concentrations were analyzed by LC-MS.
Results: Despite the fact that the model compounds have similar chemical structures, the Km and Vmax for wogonoside, luteolin 3’-glucuronide and apigenin 7-glucuronide varied dramatically. The Km of OATP 1B1 and 2B1 for luteolin 3’-glucuronide was 4.46 and 0.89 µM, with Vmax of 22.8 and 4.1 pmol/min, respectively. The results suggested that OATP 1B1 and 2B1 competed for luteolin 3’-glucuronide, and OATP1B1 acted as a relatively low affinity, high capacity enzyme while OATP 2B1 acted as a high affinity, low capacity enzyme. For wogonoside, the Km of OATP 1B1 was determined to be 27.68 µM with a Vmax of 55.4 pmol/min. Apigenin 7-glucuronide had a Km of 14.8 µM for OATP 2B1 and a Vmax of 5.8 pmol/min. Other substrate-transporter pairs did not display a saturable kinetics up to 50 µM which is beyond relevant biological concentration in human (in nM range), suggesting they were not significantly involved in the uptake process. In the cross-inhibition study in cells overexpressing OATP 1B1, all three compounds were significantly inhibited by the OATP 1B1 inhibitor rifampicin ( >97%). The results also showed no significant inhibition by luteolin 7-glucuronide, which was determined not a substrate of the transporter. For wogonoside, inhibition effects from other compounds were determined as rifampicin (98%) > luteolin (93%) > estradiol (90%) > estradiol 17-glucuronide (84%) > luteolin 3’-glucuronide (72%) > wogonin (61%) > luteolin 7-glucuronide (5.9%). For E2G, the inhibition effects were rifampicin (99%) > estradiol (90%) > luteolin (89%) = luteolin 3’-glucuronide (89%) > wogonin (79%) > wogonoside (67%) > luteolin 7-glucuronide (32%). For luteolin 3’-glucuronide, the inhibition effects were rifampicin (98%) > luteolin (97%) > estradiol (92%) = estradiol 17-glucuronide (92%) > wogonin (87%) > wogonoside (61%) > luteolin 7-glucuronide (11%). The compounds used as inhibitors showed similar inhibition ability toward the three substrates. Comparing with the compound affinity of the transporter, compounds with higher affinity of the transporter tended to have better inhibition ability over the transporting process. In addition, parent compounds generally had better or similar inhibition effects on the transporter than their glucuronides.
Conclusion: In spite of the structural similarity, wogonoside, luteolin 3’-glucuronide and apigenin 7-glucuronide have different affinity towards OATP 1B1, 1B3 and 2B1. A cross-inhibition method is developed for screening the affinity of a compound toward the transporter efficiently.

July 19, 2011
A 20-year-old Ohio man told an officer he wanted to die and jumped out of the cruiser while on the way to jail.
Kylen English also asked the officer, "Do you believe you go to heaven if you kill yourself?"
The cruiser's camera also recorded audio of English banging his head against the right rear passenger window of the cruiser. The pounding prompted the officer to stop the car on the Salem Bridge in Dayton. A moment later, the video portion shows shards of glass falling on the cruiser's hood.
English left the vehicle and lept from the bridge to his death.

Below Amelia and beyond the borders of her glass and marble version of the city, the eyes of the workers were cast in coal and ash. Those of the slums were fading out of being, becoming just blurs, wisps of subconscious, hollow. They were being emptied of dreams, emptied of light, emptied of value. They looked – with light-burned, cataracted eyes, weary and broken from too many hours in front of a forge – toward the city they had dreamed of, the one they believed in, the one they were now part of, the one now using them as a whetstone to hone itself upon. They looked upon a city alien and yet familiar; one that shared the same name, shared a people, but was separated by a wall of prosperity, an insurmountable barrier of capital value.
Rising above Frank was the very tangible feeling of success and dreams realized. Above him – wrapped in their own private worlds, curtained off from each other – lay the world of Traders and Merchants and Moguls. There was no lost space, everything was worked to perfection, commodified and able to be owned. People had become slaves to their Ikea nesting instinct, they simply filled the space given, even the ultimate consumers did not own their space. The streets were wide and clear, everything at a crisp ironed angle, a city of well pressed pants. Those who walked them did not know each other beyond image: a Trader by the scale lapel pin, an Artist by the garish socks, an Economist by the gloves, a Mogul by the hat. On the great rising monoliths movies and media played, any new information came from those gargantuan marble monoliths. The world beyond Harborside was found in those rising towers of media.
But in the slums – from the roofs of their squat and makeshift shanties – the workers could just glimpse the edges of media. Their world was full of cracked screens and secondhand news. People were cramped, the heartbeat of one encroached on the next. The global world had all but disappeared to them, where they had come from was being wrung from them as they became just another road stone in the city. The cultural identities they had brought with them, had created neighborhoods around, had found their first jobs with were bleeding away. They were becoming the masses of the city, overwhelmed by the need for money, the vast cost of living had ensnared them, had separated them and pinned them by the wings.
But the global world existed only in the harbor with the monoliths of media, with the bustle of trade, it was rich and thriving in the harbor. Money was not lacking, it seemed as if the less work one did the more money filled their coffers.
Frank was well off for a country boy, so when he docked in the sand of the fish market – the only place his little decrepit rented dinghy could -he was sure he could do anything he could possibly hope for. As he jumped from the boat he sunk to the knee into rotting, bloated, sun-blistered fish waste. His nose crinkled, What a welcome. He trudged upward into the city, tapping his breast pocket with a light rhythm. As he reached the paving stones his tapping ceased, he could not crane his head far enough, the city just kept going. The longer he stared the more his past months at sea ebbed away with the tide; his past was being drowned out by the sounds, the smells, and the people. The city was made of individuals from the ground, Frank was just another one of them, just another in a sea of people striving to flourish as themselves, he was just dressed a little more shabbily, a little more wide eyed, a little more idealistic, he was just a little bit poorer, he was just woefully unprepared. So he set out to wander the city, to find himself, or lose himself. | 35literature

The switched filter bank is designed using 8 eighth-order step impedance resonators (SIR) band-pass filters arranged in parallel rows. Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS) switched circuit is integrated above filters for monolithic design combined with low temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) technology. The SIR bandpass filters are designed to resist Electromagnetic Interference(EMI) between components and introduce cross coupling to bring two transmission zeros and better out-of-band rejection. The monolithic integrated switched filter bank is only 74 mm×24 mm×2.5 mm, which realizes the monolithic integration of the device and enhances the reliability. The measured results show that the insertion loss and out-of-band rejection are in good working condition.

DURING STORAGE
AUTHORSTvrzník Pavel, Jeřábek Tomáš, Kráčmar Stanislav, Fišera Miroslav
Dynamics of changes in phenolic content in ground red pepper spice (Capsicum annuum L.) was monitored during the period of 10/ 2016–01/2018. Phenolic compounds were determined: gallic acid, catechine, vanillic acid, caffeic acid, coumaric acid, ferulic acid, rutin, resveratrol, cinnamic acid. In order to carry out a relevant statistical evaluation, individual measurements were interpolated to obtain a weekly time series. The fastest weekly reduction in content occurs for cinnamic acid (0.9%), coumaric acid (0.6%), resveratrol (0.54%), catechine (0.53%), quercetin (0.47%), vanillic acid (0.47%), ferulic acid (0.39%), gallic acid (0.34%), and rutin (0.29%). For the total content of phenolic substances, weekly decrease of 0.4% was statistically significant (at significance level of 0.001). The losses of phenolic substances during storage are possible to be minimized partially by keeping in cold, dry, and dark storage areas, in airtight containers for wholesale and retail packages.
KEYWORDSstorage, sweet pepper spice, phenolic substances
Spices represent a very diverse group of natural substances characterized by their distinctive taste, aroma, and, very often, also healing effects. In gastronomy, the spices are used to intensify the outside attractiveness of food, colour and aroma thereof. More than 200 plant species belonging to more than 30 families are used as spices. Plants coming from the tropical regions of Asia, Africa and America mostly provide the most important spice species (Kadlec et al., 2009). One of their important features is the ability to eliminate the unpleasant or specific odour of initial raw materials. They play an essential role in flavouring and enhancing the taste of finished meals.
The seasoning agents are, in particular, various essential oils, bitter substances, phenolic substances, and organic acids, formed by fermentation of fresh and dry parts of plants. One of the most important spices used in gastronomy is the red pepper.
The red pepper is a ground spice made from red dried fruits of larger and sweeter varieties of Capsicum annuum (L) with changing taste. Bell pepper fruits are vegetables consumed worldwide as raw or as spices. The bell peppers are regarded to be a source of nutrients that can prevent various types of disease, such as ascorbic acid, carotenoids, and phenolic compounds, with known antioxidant properties and potential health benefits (Hervert-Hernandez et al., 2010; Kim et al., 2010). Hot cultivars are rich in capsaicinoids, responsible for a specific hot taste (Liu and Nair, 2010). The presence of capsaicinoids in hot peppers has a favourable effect on the stability of carotenoids during high-temperature drying. The capsaicinoids are synthesized and accumulated in epidermal placental tissue (Topuz et al., 2011). Capsaicin production increases with ripeness until the maximum is reached and, then, it decreases due to rapid reversal and degradation up to 60% via acting of oxidative enzymes (Yaldiz et al., 2010). Reyes-Escogido et al. (2011) report that the content of capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin decreases in the case of cellular disturbance of fruits, which is probably due to the effect of oxidation at higher temperatures.
The amount of bioactive compounds depends on the pepper variety, the ripening stage, and the growth conditions. Studies carried out have shown a significant increase in ascorbic acid and carotenoid content during ripening in hot peppers (Guil-Guerrero et al., 2006; Iqbal et al., 2013,2015). The sweet pepper contains many other active ingredients such as volatile oils, capsaicinoids, carotenoids, vitamins, proteins, fibre, and minerals (Padayatty et al., 2003; Materska and Perucka, 2005; Bosland and Votava, 2012). All the compounds exhibit antioxidant activity and other biological activities, such as a potential action against certain types of cancer; they stimulate immune system; thanks to them, we can prevent cardiovascular diseases; and they contribute to delaying the aging process (Podsedek, 2007; Chuah et al., 2008).
According to Velíšek (1999), some phenolic substances exhibit significant biological effects and, therefore, rank among natural antioxidants, natural toxic substances of food or also among plant defense agents; over 8,000 species are known. In addition, the phenolic substances are partly responsible for the sensory and nutritional properties of spices. From the phenolic substances, phenolic acids (derivatives of benzoic acid and cinnamic acid) and flavonoids representing 30–60% of the total phenolic compound content are most commonly found in food.
According to their chemical structure, the phenolic substances are divided into three basic groups – non-flavonoid, flavonoid, and others. In addition to the distribution of phenolic compounds according to their chemical structure, these substances can be classified into several other groups according to their primary properties, including phenolic acids, flavonoids, tannins, lignans, and stilbenes (Parades-Lopez et al., 2010; Heleno et al., 2015). The phenolic acids are present in food of plant origin predominantly in a bound form. The phenolic acids belong to the group of phenolic substances, structure of which is derived from the benzoic acid derivatives (e.g. gallic acid, salicylic acid, vanillic acid, hydroxybenzoic acid) and cinnamic acid derivatives (e.g. coumaric acid, ferulic acid, and caffeic acid). Probably, the most predominant form of hydroxycinnamic acid is chlorogenic acid composed of caffeic acid and quinic acid (Duthie et al., 2000; Robbins, 2003; Mattila et al., 2006; Mattila and Hellström, 2007). The phenolic acids are deposited predominantly in surface layers of fruits and vegetables.
A number of studies describe the effects of storage and packaging materials on the long-term stability of polyphenols in food and beverages, warning that they are very sensitive to light, oxygen, and heat (Kim et al., 2011; Munin and Edwards-Levy, 2011). Several previous studies focused on the stability of capsaicinoids and antioxidants in pepper stored at different temperatures and reported substantial fluctuations during storage. Consequently, the concentration of capsaicinoids in the pepper was significantly reduced during prolonged storage under ambient storage conditions and the maximum reduction was observed for the dihydrocapsaicin (Topuz and Ozdemir, 2004).
According to Daood et al. (1996,2006) the proportion of ascorbic acid in ground pepper significantly decreased by 35% compared to the original value after four months of storage, while carotenoids and flavonoids showed greater stability according to (Kalt, 2005). Perez-Galvez et al., (2009) monitored the proportion of carotenoids in pepper powder and found that 83% of the original content was kept in a product stored in plastic bags at 4°C for 12 months.
The aim of the work was to monitor changes in the phenolic substance content in sweet pepper spice during storage in the period of 10/2016–01/2018.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
Samples of commercially supplied ground sweet pepper from Raps – CZ, s.r.o. were used in our experiment. In each time interval, 8 pepper samples were used for analysis. The pepper samples weighing 1.0±0.0001 g were mixed with 100 mL of an extraction mixture consisting of methanol, distilled water, and acetic acid (30:69:1). Then, the mixture was shaken in a water bath at 70°C for 50 min the mixture was cooled to 18°C and filtered into vials through a 0.5 µm PTFE Advantec filter. The phenolic substance content was determined using UHPLC Dionex Ultimate 3000 liquid chromatograph equipped with a UV/VIS detector, Phenomenex Kinetex C18 150×4.6 mm column in a mobile phase consisting of A (water:acetic acid – 99:1) and B (water:acetonitrile:acetic acid – 67:32:1). The mobile phase flow was 1 mL.min–1 in a gradient mode (A–90%, B–10%) at 0 min and (A–30%, B–70%) at 40 min followed by column equilibration to initial conditions – 5 min. The detection was performed at 275 nm. Within the experiment, the phenolic compounds were determined: gallic acid, catechine, vanillic acid, caffeic acid, coumaric acid, ferulic acid, rutin, resveratrol, cinnamic acid, and quercetin.
Statistical Analysis and Methods
A cubic spline was used to obtain a sufficiently large time series. Formally, a spline function consists of polynomial pieces, the third-order polynomials for cubic spline, on subintervals joined together with certain continuity conditions. For more information, see (Gerald, 2003; Kaya, 2014). A growth is analysed for the time series. The simplest approach in this regard is to obtain the geometric mean of the series. One of the disadvantage the approach is that it focuses only on the first and last observations in series, i.e. it ignores the information in the ongoing observations and any trend of growth that could develop over the period. This problem can be partially solved by using the ordinary least squares (OLS) method for estimating the unknown parameters in a regression model.
The simplest is linear regression model
where the coefficient gives us directly the change in dependent variable, , for a one-unit change in independent variable, (time in our case) and is constant. Thus, this model is not suitable for comparing growth rates when comparing the growth rate of different dependent variables (with different value ranges). On the other hand, log-linear model
it converts the regression coefficient into relative values, i.e. it represents the percentage change of the dependent variable with absolute change of time (shift by one time).
In order to demonstrate a statistically significant difference in coefficients of two regression models, , , , the null hypothesis that the coefficients are the same is tested. For the test statistic holds, if the homogeneity of error variances (between groups) cannot be assumed and we have at least 25 observations (within each series), the test statistic has a normal distribution and is determined as
z=(β_i-β_j)/s_(β_i-β_j ) ,i≠j,

The analysis results for ground sweet pepper root show that there were no significant changes in dry matter content during storage. Dry matter of the samples ranged from 88.40±0.98 to 88.60±1.08%. Moisture of the pepper spice is specified and should not exceed 11% (i.e. at least 89% of dry matter).
The dynamics of changes in phenolic substances during storage was carried out between 2016 and 2018, with samples being collected and analysed on 10/10/2016, 10/04/2017, and 08/01/2018.
Table 1 shows the proportion of aromatic substances in the dry matter.

Weekly time series with decreasing tendency were obtained after interpolation. The cubic interpolation spline was chosen as the interpolation technique. A total of 65 values are available for each series. Figure 1 shows the development of interpolated time series of individual acids with 95% confidence intervals.
The graphs in Figure 1 show a nonlinear downward trend. The rate of decline is estimated using a log-linear regression model. Table 2 shows the estimate of regression slope coefficients. The coefficients (their negative value) represent the percentage decrease in single acid content per week. The values in parenthesis represent the standard errors of the coefficient. In this case, the regression slope coefficients are statistically significant at 1% level of significance.

The results indicate that the most rapid reduction in cinnamic acid (0.9% per week) occurs. In contrast, the slowest in routine (0.29% per week). When the sum of all the phenolic compounds is analysed, there is a statistically significant negative linear trend. Overall, the amount of phenolic compounds is reduced by 0.4% per week.
Our results are consistent with the findings of other authors who also experience a decrease in total phenolic content during storage, or storage factors with a direct impact on the content and antioxidant activity of selected phenolic compounds; see (Khali and Selselet-Attou, 2007; Medina-Juárez et al., 2012). Analogously, Daood et al. (1996,2006) report that phenolic compounds gradually decreased about 24% and 14% respectively, according to storage temperature during the storage period five months.
Further, at a 1% level of significance, it was tested whether there were statistically significant differences between the decline rates. Specifically, we tested hypotheses:
Figure 1 Development of I-X acids with 95% confidence intervals (See Table 1)
Table 3 presents the results in rejection or non-rejection of the null hypothesis and acceptance (A) or non-acceptance (N) of the alternative hypothesis.
The results show that there are statistically significant differences between the rates of decrease in individual acids. The exception is the relationship between feluric acid and caffeic acid, where the difference between 0.39% and 0.41% is not statistically significant. Similarly, the rate of decline in resveratrol is not statistically significantly different from that of catechine and vanillic acid.

The results of the monitoring show that there is a significant decrease in phenolic substances in the spice of ground red pepper during prolonged period of storage. Storage under controlled optimal conditions allows for the overall quality of spice to be preserved in terms of sensory properties, such as hotness, colour, and antioxidant content, and, thus, reducing the impact of natural reduction in phenolic substance content. More gradual losses were observed for gallic acid, ferulic acid, caffeic acid, vanillic acid, rutin, and quercetin (0.40% per week). On the contrary, fast reduction occurs for cinnamic acid, coumaric acid, catechine, rutin, and resveratrol (0.64% per week). The fastest loss during our monitoring was reported for cinnamic acid (0.9% per week). The lowest decrease was observed for rutin (0.29% per week). In total, the phenolic substance content decreased significantly by 24.6%. In order to reduce the loss of phenolic substances during storage, it is important to store the spices in dry, dark, and cold areas, possibly under inert atmosphere. If the optimum storage conditions are met, the phenolic substance losses are possible to be minimized partially. For spice storage, sealable packaging is suitable to be used, which can help to slow down negative changes, or more precisely, decrease in content of biologically active substances contained in the red pepper within the warehouse as well as from the perspective of the retail consumer.

I've been asthmatic for 11 years now (I'm 22), but was never a very active teenager. However, within the last 2 months, I have started running pretty seriously. I have a 10km race coming up in the next month, and eventually want to do a marathon next year.
So far I have got up to running between 5 and 8km 4 times a week, during which I have very few problems with my asthma, but I need to try and increase my speed if I'm going to well in my race. I tried fartlekking but suffered a horrible attack after only 1.8km.
So, basically, my question is does anyone know of any speedwork an EIA sufferer can do that won't put too much strain on the lungs?
Thanks in advance,
Warm up really, really well before you try any speed work - that is basically the long and short of it.
A visit to your GP may also be useful to see if you could be offered any other medications to help with EIA, if you've not already done so!
Something like "pyramids" may help - where you gradually build up speed and/or distance in each interval, so you're not outright sprinting to begin with.
I guess it depends how bad your asthma is and what triggers an attack. I've suffered from asthma for about 14 years now but luckily never had an attack from exercise. I take two puffs of ventolin before exercise and then a 1M warm up at easy pace before launching into speedwork. Are you running the speedwork at the right pace ( i.e. not all out sprint). I use McMillan's running caluclator which is on line and I find this a great tool to keep you on the right pace. Make sure you don't skimp on the recovery between efforts as well. However, if you want to be safe may be wise to check it out with your GP or asthma nurse if your surgery has one.
Funnily enough the first training session that induced an asthma attack for me was a pyramid but it was very cold and the cold def. affects my asthma. I now make sure I use my blue puffer before any session I deem to be "hard" so speedwork or a really long run, or if it is very cold out. I also make sure I carry it with me if I am remotely worried.
I certainly do a speedwork or hills session every week despite this.
Ah, but spacers are not just for kids - I have good technique but I use one for my regular meds because spacers improved lung deposition of the drugs so much compared to using an MDI straight into the mouth. If you're taking the drugs, you may as well be making sure they're getting to the right place!
Also, if you're in dire straights, they can help you get the medication to where it's needed without the need for co-ordination/deep breathing.
You may have gathered that I like spacers
Thanks for all your replies, and suggestions. My asthma nurse has just changed me over from salmeterol steroid twice a day to seretide (salmeterol + fluticasone) twice a day plus salbutamol when necessary.On my smaller runs this week my lungs felt fine - although my legs were having none of it!!! - but the proof will be tomorrow on my longer distance!
Does anyone usethe Montelukast Singulair tablets? Are they worth it?
I just came back from an 11km run (1hr09mins - not brilliant but my first ever +10km!!) and had absolutely no problems with my asthma. It was a steady, so I need to try out a shorter, faster run, but my asthma has never been better than this!
And, Basil Brush Mk II, I used my spacer with salbutamol beforehand, which could have been a contributing factor!
It's so nice to talk to other people with EIA, no-one else I know has it!!
Ahhhh, the spacer... never has there been such an underestimated piece of kit
It took me quite a while to figure out how to run with my asthma - that may sound odd, but you really do need to figure out how your lungs react to certain kinds of exercise and how you can work around that. It really is trial and error, even when you understand all the pathophysiology of what's going on. And sometimes I still have a "bad lung run" for no particular reason, but now I just chalk it up to experience and don't overanalyse it too much, unless it's forming part of a bigger pattern which might indicate an infection developing, for example.
Well done on your 11k! When you go for your shorter, faster session, make sure you warm your lungs up slowly before starting the speed work. Fingers crossed for you.

Both of image motion can cause image blur in a longer exposure time, which need for image motion compensation. Due to limited field of view of the optical system, limited size and weight, a stable FSM (Fast Steering Mirror) was used for random image motion compensation and a compensation FSM was used for forward image motion compensation. In the random image motion compensation, inertial sensors were used for measuring the random jitter and the posture change of the aircraft. As the advantages and disadvantages for the gyroscope and inclinometer, we used data fusion of the two sensors to complementary advantages with closed-loop mode filter data based on the frequency domain. In this way, we got high linearity, little drift, high bandwidth and little electrical noise inertial measurement sensors. On the other hand, the motion of the compensation mirror was broken down to the amount of displacement within the time required for each interrupt movement. Under strict timing control, macro forward image motion compensation was realized in the exposure time. The above image motion compensation methods were applied to actual spectral imaging systems, aerial experiment results show that image motion compensation obtained good results and met the remaining image motion compensation image error was not more than 1/3 pixel. | 17electronic_science

According to news sources, 2009’s festival saw around a quarter of a million terrified and bewildered individuals killed by decapitation, including buffaloes, pigs, goats, lambs, roosters, chickens, water rats and pigeons. By some accounts, that particular festival attracted up to a million participants, many from neighboring India where animal sacrifice is banned. A priest at the Gadhimai temple said he was pleased with the festival’s high turnout that year, stating, “The goddess needs blood.”
By 2014, numbers were supposedly dropping, in response to criticism from animal rights activists and a subsequent government announcement that sacrifice should be discouraged. There is significant variation, however, in these reports, with the disparity no doubt exacerbated by claims from animal rights groups about the effectiveness of their efforts that have since been debunked. In 2015, bold announcements were made that the festival was to be banned altogether, and that 2019’s would be ‘bloodless’.
Nevertheless, Gadhimai devotees turned out in full force a week ago, to a gathering that once again saw the festival fields running red with rivers of blood.
When the sacrifice ritual is over, many of the remains of the slaughtered are taken to local villages to be eaten, with the remaining flesh, bones and hides sold to processing and tannery companies in India and Nepal. Considering the fact that nearly all Indian leather is exported overseas, there’s a good chance that at least some of the skins of these animals will end up being worn by Westerners, who rightly see this kind of brutality as abhorrent, yet likely don’t stop to think about how the skin of an animal is turned into the shoes, bags, belts or jackets that they themselves wear.
To put the numbers into perspective, in the US alone we slaughter over 10 billion land animals for food every year (more than the entire human population). That’s a number so large, it’s almost too vast to fully comprehend. To put it another way, we kill 250,000 animals for food every 15 minutes. In the two days of Gadhimai, while Westerners clamored on Facebook and elsewhere denouncing the cruelty of the slaughter in Nepal, we were busy ourselves slaughtering 55,000,000 animals, while barely anyone blinked an eye, and most people, in fact, were happily partaking of the flesh of the victims.
Certainly, the two things are not exactly the same, but the differences are essentially meaningless. What is relevant is the fact that here in the Western world we also condone unnecessary slaughter in staggering numbers. And just like those in Nepal, we condone that slaughter for our religious festivities, bowing our heads over the bodies of our victims, while we thank our deities for the many blessings we are fortunate to enjoy. We just ask that our sacrificing be done out of plain view, using institutionalized methods, and while the blades are slicing through the throats of our victims, we don’t gather in crowds and dance. In this supposedly superior culture, most of us prefer to hide from the reality of the stomach-turning deeds we ask others to do on our behalf.
In a society that frowns on killing for superstition, and reviles the bloody murder of hundreds of thousands of animals on foreign soil, we have our own deity to feed, and her name is Selfish Pleasure. Her appetite for blood is voracious and apparently insatiable, as we sacrifice over 300 scared, innocent individuals to her every second of every single day.
Who do we think we are? Criticizing the world’s religious poor for their disregard for sentient life, while we sit back in our ivory towers of self-imposed ignorance, refusing to even look at the consequences of our consumer choices.
As pointed out by one blogger,
“Nepal, incidentally, has a poor population for whom meat remains a luxury – for many of those doing the sacrificing, this may be the only meat they eat during the entire year… And the animals themselves were bred to be eaten. So the net effect of the sacrifice seems to be that animals who were going to be slaughtered anyway end up being slaughtered all in the same spot, as a sacrifice, rather than one by one in the home villages.”
I am not trying to suggest that the brutal slaughter of hundreds of thousands of individuals, by any method, is not horrifying and contemptible. Of course it is. To look at the images from the massacre or to read the reports is positively heartbreaking. But surely, if we want to be a part of building a more civilized humanity, we must look beyond the practices that are convenient to condemn, and make an effort to examine the brutality in our own backyards.
Since the online news now allows the ritual of Gadhimai to occur in plain view of the entire world, the festival offers us a clear window through which to view the barbaric nature of slaughter. But until we in the West acknowledge our responsibility to live according to the nonviolent values we profess to embrace, and until we extend our circle of empathy to include those who currently suffer at the hands of people who kill on our behalf, we are simply in no position to vilify the priests or the devotees of Gadhimai. | 43news

These wearable sensors include several solutions based on one of Intel's latest low-power edge processors, Intel® Quark™ SE microcontroller, which provides technology for sensor data stream processing and pattern recognition as well. In addition to the Intel-based wearable solutions, the PoC includes Honeywell's Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA). This sends data via Bluetooth Low-Energy (BLE) short-range wireless communication to a wearable mobile hub for sensor fusion and transmission of data via Wi-Fi or cellular to the cloud for data ingestion via Trusted Analytics Platform (TAO) and visualization on an AWS hosted central incident command application. Plus, the wearable mobile hub provides highly accurate worker positioning data. With the combination of worker location, gesture communication, and activity detection, this solution provides true remote situational awareness.

Perhaps the most common myth that people have about xeriscaping is that it means turning your landscape into a rock garden sprinkled with cacti.
Nothing could be further from the truth. Plant selection and layout is only one component of a successful low water use landscape. A successful xeriscape based landscape consists of plants that are regionally and seasonally appropriate. Your xeriscape garden can be just as bright and colorful as any other professionally designed landscape while requiring 50% less water!

BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN
MILITARY officials continue to commend Brunei’s handling of the ASEAN Defence Ministerial Meeting-Plus (ADMM-Plus) exercise that brought together armed forces from 18 countries to partake in a humanitarian assistance and disaster relief (HADR) and military medicine (MM) drill for the first time.
During the third ADMM-Plus Expert Working Group (EWG) meeting on HADR in Nha Trang, Vietnam last Friday, co-chairs from Vietnam and China highlighted the success of the inaugural multilateral exercise.
Sr Col Do Mai Khanh of Vietnam’s Ministry of National Defence and Sr Col Zhao Bao of China’s Ministry of National Defence also thanked the participating countries for contributing to the exercise, which saw over 3,000 personnel deployed to Brunei. Numerous equipments, including seven ships and 15 helicopters, were also used in the HADR and MM Exercise that took place in June 2013. Meanwhile, Lt Gen Vo Van Tuan, Deputy Chief of the General Staff of the Vietnam People’s Army, stressed that cooperation, information sharing and mobilising resources between member countries could prevent the severe consequences of natural disasters and climate change. Brunei was represented at the EWG meeting by its head of delegation and Head Secretariat of ADMM-Plus HADR and MM Exercise, Lt Col Mohd Shanonnizam Sulaiman.
He presented a report on Brunei’s experience of hosting the exercise, which was jointly conducted between the ADMM-Plus EWG HADR and ADMM-Plus EWG MM. Other countries also shared the experiences gained from their own HADR operations such as during Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines.
Serving as a final wrap-up of the first cycle of the three-year term of the EWG HDR, the meeting concluded with a co-chairmanship handover ceremony to Laos and Japan. Prior to the handover, Laos and Japan presented their new three-year work plan that provided an outline to continue from the achievements and success of the previous cycle.

Boundary Value Problems volume 2009, Article number: 708576 (2009)
This paper deals with some existence results for a boundary value problem involving a nonlinear integrodifferential equation of fractional order with integral boundary conditions. Our results are based on contraction mapping principle and Krasnosel'skiĭ's fixed point theorem.
In the last few decades, fractional-order models are found to be more adequate than integer-order models for some real world problems. Fractional derivatives provide an excellent tool for the description of memory and hereditary properties of various materials and processes. This is the main advantage of fractional differential equations in comparison with classical integer-order models. Fractional differential equations arise in many engineering and scientific disciplines as the mathematical modelling of systems and processes in the fields of physics, chemistry, aerodynamics, electrodynamics of complex medium, polymer rheology, and so forth, involves derivatives of fractional order. In consequence, the subject of fractional differential equations is gaining much importance and attention. For examples and details, see [1–22] and the references therein. However, the theory of boundary value problems for nonlinear fractional differential equations is still in the initial stages and many aspects of this theory need to be explored.
Integrodifferential equations arise in many engineering and scientific disciplines, often as approximation to partial differential equations, which represent much of the continuum phenomena. Many forms of these equations are possible. Some of the applications are unsteady aerodynamics and aero elastic phenomena, visco elasticity, visco elastic panel in super sonic gas flow, fluid dynamics, electrodynamics of complex medium, many models of population growth, polymer rheology, neural network modeling, sandwich system identification, materials with fading memory, mathematical modeling of the diffusion of discrete particles in a turbulent fluid, heat conduction in materials with memory, theory of lossless transmission lines, theory of population dynamics, compartmental systems, nuclear reactors, and mathematical modeling of a hereditary phenomena. For details, see [23–29] and the references therein.
Integral boundary conditions have various applications in applied fields such as blood flow problems, chemical engineering, thermoelasticity, underground water flow, population dynamics, and so forth. For a detailed description of the integral boundary conditions, we refer the reader to a recent paper . For more details of nonlocal and integral boundary conditions, see [31–37] and references therein.
In this paper, we consider the following boundary value problem for a nonlinear fractional integrodifferential equation with integral boundary conditions
where is the Caputo fractional derivative, for
and are real numbers. Here, is a Banach space and denotes the Banach space of all continuous functions from endowed with a topology of uniform convergence with the norm denoted by
For a function the Caputo derivative of fractional order is defined as
where denotes the integer part of the real number
The Riemann-Liouville fractional integral of order is defined as
provided the integral exists.
The Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative of order for a function is defined by
provided the right hand side is pointwise defined on
In passing, we remark that the definition of Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative, which did certainly play an important role in the development of theory of fractional derivatives and integrals, could hardly produce the physical interpretation of the initial conditions required for the initial value problems involving fractional differential equations. The same applies to the boundary value problems of fractional differential equations. It was Caputo definition of fractional derivative which solved this problem. In fact, the Caputo derivative becomes the conventional th derivative of the function as and the initial conditions for fractional differential equations retain the same form as that of ordinary differential equations with integer derivatives. Another difference is that the Caputo derivative for a constant is zero while the Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative of a constant is nonzero. For more details, see .
Lemma 2.4 (see ).
For the general solution of the fractional differential equation is given by
In view of Lemma 2.4, it follows that
for some ().
Now, we state a known result due to Krasnosel'skiĭ which is needed to prove the existence of at least one solution of (1.1).
Let be a closed convex and nonempty subset of a Banach space Let be the operators such that (i) whenever , (ii) is compact and continuous, (iii) is a contraction mapping. Then there exists such that
For any the unique solution of the boundary value problem
is given by
where is the Green's function given by
Using (2.5), for some constants we have
In view of the relations and for we obtain
Applying the boundary conditions for (2.6), we find that
Thus, the unique solution of (2.6) is
where is given by (2.8). This completes the proof.
3. Main Results
Assume that is jointly continuous and maps bounded subsets of into relatively compact subsets of is continuous with and are continuous functions. Further, there exist positive constants such that
(A1) for all
Then the boundary value problem (1.1) has a unique solution provided
Setting (by the assumption on ) and Choosing
we show that where For we have
Now, for and for each we obtain
which depends only on the parameters involved in the problem. As therefore is a contraction. Thus, the conclusion of the theorem follows by the contraction mapping principle.
Assume that (A1)-(A2) hold with where and
Then the boundary value problem (1.1) has at least one solution on
Let us fix
and consider We define the operators and on as
For we find that
Thus, It follows from the assumption (A1), (A2) that is a contraction mapping for
Continuity of implies that the operator is continuous. Also, is uniformly bounded on as
Now we prove the compactness of the operator In view of (A1), we define and consequently we have
which is independent of So is relatively compact on Hence, By Arzela Ascoli Theorem, is compact on Thus all the assumptions of Theorem 2.5 are satisfied and the conclusion of Theorem 2.5 implies that the boundary value problem (1.1) has at least one solution on
Consider the following boundary value problem:
Here, As therefore, (A1) and (A2) are satisfied with Further,
Thus, by Theorem 3.1, the boundary value problem (3.15) has a unique solution on

New advances in technology make it possible for the dentists at Gendler Dental Center to eliminate the need for shots in many cases. We use laser dentistry technology to perform several dental services without pain and discomfort.
Our dentists use the Waterlase dental laser, along with an air and water spray, to remove dental decay and perform other dental procedures. This laser has pinpoint accuracy, which reduces the risk of damage to the teeth and gum tissue. This laser also has an added benefit when compared with traditional dental tools: high-speed drills sometimes leave behind dead organic material, making it difficult for fillings to bond properly to the surface of the tooth. The laser does not leave this material behind, so there is a better surface for bonding.
In addition to removing dental decay, this laser is also a helpful tool for performing other types of dental work. Our dentists use the Waterlase to prepare cavities for treatment, perform root canals, reshape smiles and perform soft tissue procedures. Dentists also use this laser tool for procedures involving dentin or tooth enamel. In many cases, the laser eliminates the need for local anesthetics and reduces discomfort.
Benefits of MN Laser Dentistry
Using this laser has several benefits for patients. Those used to the pain of a high-speed drill will be happy to know that the Waterlase does not use vibration or heat to cut the tooth. This almost completely eliminates pain. This is a very precise tool, which means that your dentist can remove tooth decay without damaging healthy tissue. In some cases, drills can cause the teeth to crack. Using this laser technology helps avoid this complication. This tool also reduces the risk of infection. Before the development of this laser tool, some dentists could not perform soft tissue procedures in their offices. We can perform soft tissue procedures right at the Gendler Dental Center with a minimum of bleeding and other complications. Using this laser tool, we can also treat periodontal disease (gum disease) by removing plaque and diseased tissue. The laser eliminates the bacteria responsible for periodontal disease, making it easier to manage this dental problem.

"I continue to be much more concerned when it comes to our security with the prospect of a nuclear weapon going off in Manhattan,” the president said on Tuesday when speaking to reporters after the nuclear security summit in The Hague, Netherlands. The remark came in response to a reporter's question asking if Russia remained the United States' No.

More than 30 countries agreed to a set of guidelines that will improve nuclear security, secure radioactive materials and combat illicit trafficking of nuclear weapons. The United States was the big pusher of the agreement, which was signed at the Nuclear Security Summit in The Hague, Netherlands.
The United States Air Force is upgrading B61 nuclear bombs stationed across Europe. Those upgrades may violate the nation's own nuclear regulations. The B61 is a Cold War relic built in 1961 but new upgrades would give the bombs an internal guidance system that would make it easier for them to find their mark. The Air Force also wants to add the ability to release different amounts of thermonuclear energy upon impact -- 0.3, 5, 10 or 50 kilotons -- depending on the target.
Nuclear fusion as an energy source is one step closer to becoming a reality. In a recent experiment, a team of researchers at the National Ignition Facility (NIF) at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory used 192 lasers to pulverize a fuel target to create a fusion reaction. What makes this experiment remarkable is that it is reportedly the first time such an experiment has successfully produced more energy output than the amount of energy spent igniting the fuel.
Iran will begin eliminating its nuclear stockpile on Jan. 20, after striking a deal with six world powers regarding its uranium-enrichment program, Iranian officials announced Sunday. The United States, Britain, China, France, Russia and Germany reached an agreement with Iran in November, saying that they will ease international sanctions in exchange for proof that the country is not going to develop nuclear weapons.
The thieves who stole a truck transporting radioactive medical waste will likely die from the effects of radiation exposure, according to Mexican officials and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The truck, which was on its way to a waste disposal facility, was stolen on Dec. 2. Mexican officials said they believe the criminals were unaware of the nuclear material when they took the truck.
Steven M. Bellovin, a computer science professor at Columbia, uncovered a startling fact. The launch code for all U.S. Minuteman nuclear missiles for 20 years used the same code: 00000000. Bellovin discovered this after finding a 2004 paper by Dr. Bruce G. Blair, a former Air Force officer who manned Minuteman silos. The codes — known as Permissive Action Links (PALs) -- came to be following the 1963-1964 Cyprus crisis, when NATO countries Turkey and Greece wanted to nuke each other.
Some of the world's most powerful political leaders took to Twitter this weekend to sound off on the landmark agreement on Iran's nuclear program. But not everyone had good things to say. U.S. President Barack Obama announced the deal on live television late Saturday night. Under the agreement, the U.S. and other world powers will begin to ease economic sanctions against Iran, provided the country offers significant proof that it does not intend to pursue a nuclear weapon.
U.S. President Barack Obama announced a landmark agreement on Iran's nuclear-energy program late Saturday night. Although he was careful to note that it is only a "first step," Obama said the U.S. and other world powers would begin to ease economic sanctions against Iran in exchange for the country offering significant proof that it does not intend to pursue a nuclear weapon.
Iranian leaders are turning to social media to voice diplomatic concerns during the ongoing talks on the country's nuclear program in Geneva, Switzerland. In exchange for sanctions relief in the oil and banking sectors, which have taken a toll on its economy, Iran is considering a six-month deal that curbs uranium enrichment to 20% purity and limits work at its nuclear facilities.
The Defense Department is mulling an expansion of a system that essentially eavesdrops on the environment for indications of foreign nuclear tests. The Air Force Technical Applications Center's atomic monitoring system digests seismic, infrasonic, and hydroacoustic data to help verify blasts.

A so-called metal-organic framework could offer a better way to get at the vast uranium resource dissolved in the ocean.
North Korea announced Thursday it is planning separate tests of a nuclear device and long-range missile systems in defiance of American-backed United Nations sanctions that were approved following North Korea's recent satellite launch. The country's military leaders said the nuclear and missile tests will help to serve an "upcoming all-out action" against the United States, reports CNN. North Korea initially denied December's launch was part of an offensive military program.
Fear and uncertainty continue to grow around the condition of Japan's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. There has been a fervent struggle to keep the plant's reactors from achieving a partial or complete meltdown after the devastating earthquake in Japan and Pacific tsunami damaged the plant and knocked out the backup power needed to cool its radioactive fuel rods.
Still in the throes of a nuclear disaster, Japanese residents need reliable information about radiation levels throughout the country. Now, a website was just started to crowdsource radiation data collected by private citizens. The site, RDTN.org, urges its visitors to purchase a radiation detection device, take readings in their area and then post those readings to the site for all to see. | 44nuclear_science

Although there is no magnification, the method is suitable for all wavelengths and so may find special applications in cases where it is not possible to use lenses, such as with x rays or γ rays. We also numerically show that some magnification may be realized away from the focal plane, but the image will always be somewhat blurred.

It is therefore particularly suitable for the use on bridges where the installation of embedded ground probes entails structural risks. As bridges are usually exposed to stronger winds and the cooling and evaporation of the underlying water it makes sense to monitor them thoroughly.
The NIRS31 was also the base for the development of the mobile sensor MARWIS and the latest stationary sensor with a lower installation height StaRWIS. Reason enough to dedicate this contribution to this sensor – with the best references! | 11civil_engineering

The RK-10A also features a quick-release mechanism within the machined vernier focus block that offers vertical re-positioning at the the touch of a button. Push the button in and slide the arm up or down to the desired height, then release the button, focus the microscope thumb wheel and fine-tune with the vertical knob for a sharp, clean image. An included safety collar offers a secure reference point for repeated observations at the same magnification level.
The boom arm can rotate 360 degrees within the focus block, permitting the microscope to view vertically, horizontally, or any angle in between. The horizontal arm offers 115mm of lateral movement and the vertical post allows 148mm of height adjustment. An included 130mm extension bar offers yet additional reach for imaging large subjects like PC motherboards, paper samples and other items.
The stand is constructed of durable and lightweight machined aluminum with a stain-resistant finish, making it an ideal choice for lab work, pcb inspections and industrial assembly line quality check stations.
For added versatility, the MSRK-10A can be easily paired with the new Dino Lite MS15X XY+R Base with Removable Rotating Table which allows you to move a specimen on both the X and Y axis as well as rotate it 360 degrees in a steady, controlled manner.
Accessories: Stand, Extension Arm, HD-P1 holster.

I told him that the hot looking blonde he was taking about to his friend happened to be my wife.We struck a conversion in the men's room.He would find a way to go back during our conversion and get information about my wife.He asked me how often we ( meaning my wife) came to the Club.I played his game and told him about every Friday Night.I started talking about him working at the station and again he'd fine a way to change the subject back to my Wife.How lucky I was to have such a gorgeous Wife.Appearally he had checked my wife out from afar.He mentioned how nice she looked in that mini dress.I said "yea". My wife always dresses in a tight mini dress all the time we go to a club.He turned to his friend and smiled at him.I could see them through the mirror as I washed my hand.I though I have fun with him and said," I tell you,my Wife can suck a cock like it was a lollipop. And she fucks in what she wears to the club on that night.She does this for me."You are so lucky",he said.He being a professional anchorman,he was another man.Loved sex like any other guy.Well it happened he Liked my wife.I don't Blame him.My wife knew she looked good and she like to tease and flirt with other men, and she knew I like that.She knew I get off this and she got off in watching me get off (she told me once).I though I'd throw that in and tell him that after the club we were going to a friends home and I was going to video him fucking her."What",he said.I said,well I better get back to her.We're about to leave,but I have to call our friend that we'er coming. It was nice meeting you and your friend.And as I started towards the door.He said,wait.Let me give you my card.Call me when you and your lovely wife are coming to the club.Maybe we can get togther.I think she would like that.Tell you what,I said.Bring her by the bar where your sitting at and introduce you to her.He said "that would be great". So Before I went to our table.I made my call to our friend we were on our way from the club and got the o.k from him.I went back to my wife and she said what took you so long.This is my third drink and even was asked to dance by this doctor who tried hard to ask me out,but I told him I was waiting for some one.He was good looking, she saidYou could see she was drunk already by her uncrossing her long legs and exposéing her pussy to me(she wearing a short mini dress).She got this way when she had a little much to drink.I told her part of why it took me so long in the men's room.She was so drunk that I told her " are you ready to go".I want you to meet him.So we walked by the bar where he was sitting and I told him this my wife.He said it was nice to meet you and he took her hand with both of his,looking at her with a big smile.She got close to him and whispered something about getting fucked tonight.To this day she doesn't remember much about that night at the club,but she remembers getting fuck.Shell I tell her about the Card?Let me know guys.ralph

Hornady arms this American Gunner label cartridge with a 185 grain eXtreme Terminal Performance (XTP) jacketed hollow point, which is engineered to surpass your expectations during every phase of its performance. The XTP’s jacket fully shields its nose cavity’s rim to reduce the risk of a feeding jam. Its swaged lead core and concentric jacket both provide the rotational stability that precise accuracy requires. The XTP’s shielded rim also protects its nose cavity from becoming damaged during impact with the target. And as the tough bullet passes deeply into its target, its notched and progressively tapered jacket promotes the wide terminal expansion which quickly debilitates a threat.
Hornady’s ammunition is loaded in Nebraska with exclusively American-made components: premium brass cases, dependable primers, and propellant which pushes the bullet to a muzzle velocity of 970 fps out of a 5” barrel. | 66weapons_science

Russia’s contractor that is expected to build a nuclear power plant in western Belarus plans to use the type of reactor that has been in operation since the 1960s and "despite certain technical changes, still leaves a possibility of explosion,"Dr. Shkradyuk said.
Referring to a 1985 nuclear submarine accident involving the same type of reactor, the expert said that the reactor had exploded after it had been stopped for fuel replacement. "And a planned shutdown of the future Belarusian nuclear power plant’s reactor is inevitable because of its peculiarity," he warned.
Dr. Shkradyuk noted that one nuclear reactor would account for 12 percent of all electricity generated in Belarus and its planned or emergency shutdown could hit the entire power grid hard.
The construction of the nuclear power plant will not reduce Belarus’ energy dependence on Russia, which will supply uranium to the plant, the expert said. The supply of the nuclear fuel is expected to drop in the next few years and its price is projected to rise sharply, he explained.
Dr. Shkradyuk noted that it was important for Belarus to ensure that the plant’s spent fuel is stored in Russia. The latter also should pledge to dismantle the plant after it reaches the end of its service life, he said. | 52physics

Anisotropy in Liquid Crystals
The uniaxial symmetry around the director in the LC phase leads to an anisotropy in many physical properties. For example, the refractive index, the dielectric permittivity, the magnetic susceptibility, viscosity and conductivity have a different value parallel to the director n and perpendicular to it.
The anisotropy of LCs causes light polarized along the director n to propagate at a different velocity than light polarized perpendicular to it. Therefore, LCs are birefringent. A uniaxial LC has two principal refractive indices, ordinary refractive index no and extraordinary refractive index ne. The first one, no, is measured for the light wave where the electric vector vibrates perpendicular to the optical axis (ordinary wave) (Fig.5a). The index ne is measured for the light wave where the electric vector vibrates along the optical axis (extraordinary wave) (Fig.5b). Then the birefringence is given by
Δn = ne - no.
Usually, ne > no and, therefore, Δn is positive and varies in the
range from values close to zero to about 0.4. In the case of uniaxial
LCs the optic axis coincides with the director n.
where θ is an angle between the optical axis and the light propagation direction. Then birefringence is Δn = neff - no.
In the case of propagation along the optical axis,
the refractive index is no for both modes, ordinary and extraordinary.
na2 = εa, a = x, y, z,
where na is the refractive index along the a direction.
The unpolarized light incident upon a LC is splitted to the ordinary and extraordinary waves, which travel with different velocities through the material. They emerge from the LC with some phase difference that depends on the thickness of material d
Δφ = 2π Δn d/λ,
where λ is a light wavelength. Thus, varying the thickness of the LC material produces different phase shifts and the outcoming light polarizations. | 46optical_engineering

Now, we'll look back even farther into our economic past, to the 1990s, as the nation edges closer to this so-called fiscal cliff. That decade of prosperity has been on many people's minds, including President Obama.
PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: I just believe that anyone making over $250,000 a year should go back to the income tax rates we were paying under Bill Clinton. Back when our economy created nearly 23 million new jobs, the biggest budget surplus in history and plenty of millionaires to boot.
GREENE: The economic expansion of the 1990s was the longest in recorded American history.
NPR's Uri Berliner explains some of the reasons why.
URI BERLINER, BYLINE: First, some numbers. Unemployment averaged just 5.7 percent in the '90s. The stock market returned 18 percent a year for the decade. Inflation was tame, and the federal government actually ran surpluses for a few years.
MOHAMED EL-ERIAN: The '90s was a very special period that is unlikely to be repeated for a while.
BERLINER: That's Mohamed El-Erian, CEO of Pimco, the world's largest bond fund. He says the Cold War was over and new markets were opening around the world.
EL-ERIAN: Not only was there a peace dividend, in terms of reallocating resources, but there were more people to sell to and there was cheaper labor. So, the U.S. as the dominant consumer and dominant producer at that time benefitted disproportionately from what was going on globally.
BERLINER: Domestically, the economic mojo was working too. Harvard economist Dale Jorgenson says those little microchips being pumped out in Silicon Valley were transformational. As they got faster, cheaper and more powerful, the computer revolution reached into the workplace.
DALE JORGENSON: There was an incredible boom in information technology equipment and software. So, people who hadn't been using information technology found that they were able to apply it in their jobs. People who had been using it were upgrading their products very quickly.
BERLINER: As President Obama and the Democrats like to point out, the economy did fine after tax rates on high earners were raised in 1993. Tax rates were also cut on capital gains in 1997. Jorgenson doesn't think either change did much to fuel the boom.
JORGENSON: It was entirely a story about microchips.
JOHN O'FARRELL: The U.S. really led this entire shift in the way the world works.
BERLINER: That's John O'Farrell, a partner in the Silicon Valley venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz. What he remembers about the '90s is how the Internet unlocked the ability to communicate. In '97, O'Farrell left his job with a landline phone company to join a broadband startup called At Home Network.
O'FARRELL: I was part of, you know, tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of, you know, talented, smart experienced people from all around the world, from other industries in many cases coming into Silicon Valley to take advantage of this enormous explosion of creativity.
BERLINER: O'Farrell says Washington wasn't as central to the economy back then. The real action was in Silicon Valley, New York and Hollywood. El-Erian, the Pimco CEO, says Washington did make a positive contribution. The Fed finally conquered inflation. And the budget was under control.
EL-ERIAN: Government played a large role domestically and globally, but it was as an enabler as opposed to someone who's directly involved in the economy.
BERLINER: Now, it would be wrong to leave impression that era was some kind of economic utopia. There was plenty of froth.
(SOUNDBITE OF ADVERTISEMENT)
UNIDENTIFIED MAN #1: Pets.com because pets can't drive. Oh yeah. This is my kind of party. Oh yeah.
BERLINER: Money-losing startups like pets.com imploded. And some big highflyers later turned out to be fraudulent: Enron, WorldCom. Home prices rose sharply late in the decade. Everyone knows how that ended. Pimco's El-Erian says in economic cycles there can be too much of a good thing.
EL-ERIAN: So, the irony of capitalism is that stability tends to encourage excesses, excesses encourage bubbles, bubbles encourage crises.
BERLINER: El-Erian says boom to bust is a pattern but it's not an ironclad rule. He thinks that the financial meltdown could have been avoided. El-Erian was just named by President Obama to chair an advisory group on global economic development. And he says despite their current bickering and dithering, Washington politicians could avoid a different kind of crisis over the budget and the debt that's coming due. Uri Berliner, NPR News.

Russian President says if the European Union imposes an oil embargo, Europe will buy energy at the most expensive price and economic activity in Europe will weaken. Rosneft needs to change its business model. Russia will help facilitate settlement and access to loans and insurance in its own currency.
According to Reuters, the European Commission will unveil a 210 billion euro plan on how Europe can end its dependence on Russian fossil fuels by 2027 and use its distance from Moscow to accelerate a shift to green energy. According to a draft document seen by Reuters, Brussels will propose a three-pronged plan to wean countries off Russian fuel: switch to importing more non-Russian gas, move more quickly to promote renewable energy, and work harder to conserve energy. The draft measures, which include EU law, non-binding plans, and possible recommendations by national governments, are subject to change before publication.
Austria is not a member of NATO and will not seek membership in the future, the Austrian Foreign Minister said in Brussels recently. He stressed that it was "their choice" for Sweden and Finland to seek NATO membership, while Austria would remain neutral.
The supply and prices of many other Aluminum Diboride AlB2 Powder,Overview of Aluminum Diboride AlB2 Powder,Application of Aluminum Diboride AlB2 Powder,Aluminum boride AlB2 powder supplier,Aluminum boride AlB2 powder price are expected to continue to be influenced by international situations.
Overview of Aluminum Diboride AlB2 Powder
Aluminum boride (AlB2) is a binary compound formed by aluminum and boron. It is a red solid under normal temperature and pressure. It loses surface gloss when heated. Stable in cold dilute acid, decomposed in hot hydrochloric acid and nitric acid.
Aluminum boride (AlB2) is one of two compounds of aluminum and boron, the other being AlB12, which are commonly referred to as aluminum boride. AlB12 is a black glossy monoclinic crystal with a specific gravity of 2.55 (18°C). It does not dissolve water. The AlB2 single crystal is parallel to the hexagon of the substrate.
The structure of aluminum diboride (AlB2) is similar to that of graphite flakes. There is an Al atom between the B atom and the B atom, which is very similar to the structure of magnesium diboride. AlB2 single crystals exhibit metallic conductivity along an axis parallel to the hexagonal plane of the substrate.
Aluminum boride is considered a hazardous substance because it reacts with acids and hydrogen to produce toxic gases. For example, it reacts with hydrochloric acid to liberate borane and aluminum chloride.
The crystal structure of AlB2 is often used to describe the prototype structure of intermetallic compounds. There are various structural types in the AlB2 structural family.
A reducing solution is formed, soluble in dilute hydrochloric acid, the solution may contain HB(OH), insoluble in sulfuric acid but soluble in nitric acid. Above 920 degrees AlB2 is decomposed into AlB12.
Product Properties of Aluminum Diboride AlB2 Powder
Aluminum boride is an ionic compound with a hexagonal crystal structure. Aluminum boride with an absolute temperature of slightly 40K (equivalent to -233°C) turns into a superconductor. Its actual working temperature is 20 ~ 30K. To achieve this temperature, we can use liquid neon, liquid or closed cycle refrigerators to accomplish cooling. These methods are simpler and more economical than the current industrial use of liquid helium to cool niobium alloys (4K). Once doped with carbon or other impurities, magnesium diboride in a magnetic field, or with an electric current flowing through it, retains superconductivity as much as, or even better than, niobium alloys.
How is aluminum diboride AlB2 powder produced?
Using amorphous boron powder and aluminum powder as raw materials, aluminum boride powder is prepared by powder metallurgy method.
The phase composition, relative content and microscopic morphology of the product were determined by X-ray diffractometer and scanning electron microscope. The influence of buried powder on the phase composition of the product was studied, and the optimal process parameters of the synthesis process were determined. Decide.
The structure of aluminum boride is similar to that of intermetallic compounds, and its structure mainly depends on the crystal structure of aluminum metal and boron, rather than their valence relationship.
Diborosilane AlB2 shows that these two elements are formed by the reaction above 600℃. It is a layered structure in which Al atoms are directly overlapped (A, A-mode), and B atoms are filled in the triangular pillars formed by the direct overlap of Al atoms, that is, the boron layer is located between two aluminum layers.
The boron layer resembles a graphite structure. The boron atoms are connected in a hexagonal network. The distance between each B atom and the other three B atoms is 0.173 nm. There are six Al atoms attached to B, which are wrapped on top of the triangular pillars. AlB2 is soluble in dilute hydrochloric acid to produce a reducing solution, which may contain HB(OH)+3. AlB2 does not decompose dilute sulfuric acid, but decomposes in nitric acid. AlB2 decomposes to AlB12 above 920℃.
Application of Aluminum Diboride AlB2 Powder
Aluminum boride is a random (or rhombic) white or pale yellow powder. Can be used as: non-toxic flame retardants, plastics, rubber, textiles, coatings, superconducting magnets, transmission lines, sensitive magnetic field detectors.

3D printing technology emerged in the mid-1990s and is actually the latest rapid prototyping device utilizing technologies such as light curing and paper lamination. It is basically the same as ordinary printing. The printer is equipped with "printing materials" such as liquid or powder. After connecting to the computer, the "printing materials" are superimposed layer by layer through computer control, and finally the blueprint on the computer is turned into a real thing. This printing technology is called 3D stereo printing technology.

Discussion in 'Old's Cool' started by vtwin, Feb 12, 2007.
Where do you get one of these?
Hi Pablo, I have the older version of these...
Mine are probably 25 years old and my phillips bit has long since broken. Good thing it fits a standard screwdriver shank.
So we had our club meeting today and since it was local for me, I rode the K11p. Once the meeting was over, we went on a small ride to grab some lunch. Unfortunately, the K11p let me down again! Good thing I wasn't too far from home and was able to push it within a mile of home until I got it restarted and rode the rest of the way. Not really into naming bikes, but this one just comes to the top, "One-Way-Ki(1)p". It gets me to my destination, but never completes a ride. DNF king this one.
At least it is a lightweight!
Noticed in some pictures that you have a windscreen on the GR. Who makes that one and what are your impressions of it?
Toying with the idea of a flyscreen or a windscreen.
Annd....while you are at it...any idea what size spacer you used when you put the 16 tooth sprocket on? I just picked up a 520 16 tooth sprocket this evening. (Starting the winter project list--braided brake line, front sprocket, polishing side cases and possibly repainting.)
Sorry RR, been awhile since I've been here. The windscreen is a National Cycle Street Shield my brother had on a cruiser. I just had to get a 7/8" kit for it. I like it as it doesn't buffet me too much. Got tired after alot of longer trips trying to fight the wind.
I used the stock spacer for the sprocket, I believe. Since the PBI front sprocket uses the stock dimensions.
No problem, VTwin. My riding season is over (most likely--had it out today, but only to run Seafoam throughout the fuel system to prep for winter storage,) and I'm getting started on my winter project list.
Had it out in late November for a longer ride and I really felt the wind on that ride. The guy riding with me had a similar screen, if not the same one, and he didn't suffer from the wind like I did.
I picked up a Suzuki 16-tooth sprocket, but it is a 520, so I'll need the spacer.
Mine had a really bad homemade sissybar welded on the grab bar and I've been spending rare free time cutting it off and grinding away the remaining bits off. Not likely that I'll be able to disguise the resulting carnage, but it was worth it. Hated that bar. Had an HD embossed back pad on it. Not good.
Anyway, thanks for getting back to me.
I see those grab bars come up from time to time on ebay. You may want to go over to the GR650 forum and ask those that have turned them into bobbers.
That's not a bad idea.
Been lazy this season and finally decided to do something about the flooding carb on the K11p. I replaced the petcock and now dipping the carb in Pine-sol, hope it works like others have stated. I would like to get this little bike running for our first club meeting of the year next weekend.
Ok, after cleaning out the carb and blowing out all the passages, time to see if my fumbling has done anything positive.
Well, I'm glad to post that it was a success. After reinstalling it, and letting it clear out a bit, it started to run better and better. Good enough to road test and go to the club meeting some 20 miles away.
It was a good showing too.
This little white Honda came all the way from Napa to San Jose! It was a 175cc and he installed a 200cc in it.
Yep, that's what you think it is...
How about this?
And the little K..
After all the announcments of the coming season, it was time to head for home and I took the long way 'round.
It was good to finally start to trust this little bike and nice to get out for a ride.
Anybody know where I can get replacement rear shocks for my little K11p? They measure 11" eye to eye. I've looked at scooter shocks, bought a couple of too large shocks off ebay, no luck.
Nice looking little bike. Great pics from the meet.
Thanks RR, we had 42 show up.
Ok, seems the little K11p is running decent, so I moved onto the M31. Did the carb/Pine-sol treatment on the carb and also thought I may have put too much oil in the pre-mix. So I cut it with the fuel from the Scarabeo, since it needs an engine, it's not going to need the gas for awhile. But it paid off.
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/d_HVk9IScHI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
I was able to actually ride it for a little bit. Going to need some fine tuning to get it smoother, but it's up for sale now.
Finally found some shocks that fit on the little K11p.
Yea, they ain't Ohlins, but what the heck, they were cheap enough. And they seem to work ok, way better than the pogo sticks they replaced. | 28hobby

Upper Hixon Forest Parking Lot
Hixon Forest Prairie Tour
The remnant prairies of Hixon Forest are in full bloom and the pollinators are hard at work. Join Friends of the Blufflands on a visit to Zoerb Prairie and Lookout Prairie & Savanna on Saturday July 29 at 10 a.m.
Time & Location
Jul 29, 2023, 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM
Upper Hixon Forest Parking Lot, N2875 County FA, La Crosse, WI, USA
About the Event
Four years of restoration has left these prairies as “showcase prairies” for what the area looked like when European settlers arrived in La Crosse. This is increasingly imperiled habitat. Less than 1% of Wisconsin’s original dry prairies remain today. Of the eight state listed species identified in the forest in 2005, five are restricted to prairie and the other three are closely associated with prairie. The hike will be led by prairie experts who can provide insights into the ecological significance of these remnant prairies. They will identify plants and wildlife of the prairie, including blooming flowers and their pollinators.
Plan on walking about two miles of rolling hills on forest trails. All ages are welcome. We recommend bringing water along. | 19environmental_science

PHNOM PENH, March 16 (Xinhua) -- Cambodia on Thursday held a broadcast and media conference to present the 32nd Southeast Asian (SEA) Games and 12th ASEAN Para Games.
The two-day conference was attended by national and international press members, particularly those from the SEA Games-participating countries and regions.
Speaking at the event, Vath Chamroeun, secretary-general of the Cambodia SEA Games Organizing Committee (CAMSOC), said the country is ready to host the Games for the first time in 64 years.
"This is a proud moment for all Cambodian citizens, as it is only 50 days away for us to start the Games," he said.
At the conference, CAMSOC officials presented a report on the preparations for the Games, a plan for holding the torch relay in 10 ASEAN countries, and the Games broadcasting plan.
On the second day of the conference, CAMSOC is to arrange a tour for the press to the capital's Chroy Changvar Convention Center and Morodok Techo Sports Complex, where the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2023 SEA Games will be held.
Themed "Sports: Live in Peace", the 32nd SEA Games is scheduled from May 5 to 17. Cambodia will also host the 12th ASEAN Para Games from June 3 to 9. | 58sports

In the summer of 2016, Brazilian Japanese left man Jimmy “Onibi” Nagaura Yabiko and Dutch German right man Ken “Toro” Luske formed Gravity Circus, a Dutch duo of two friends with shared musical tastes, varying from artists like Twenty One Pilots, Radiohead, Milky Chance and Foals.
With their stubborn DIY approach and their "nothing left to lose" state of mind, they set themselves out to conquer all radio stations and personal playlists for at least 4 minutes and hopefully declare their improvised, on the spot speech in front of the future Grammy audience (with pants on, obviously).
The ingredients to this acquired taste recipe are (but not limited to): guitars, lamps, bass, dishwashers, drums, bottles, synths, paper towels, airdryers, limbs, cheeks, broken equipment and phones. Nothing is safe from the cheap impeccable imagination of our two youthlings in their late 20's.
It's all fun and games 'till their imagination becomes reality. From melancholic tunes to silly melodies and cryptic lyrics to cynical themes, Gravity Circus attempts to create different musical landscapes in the spectrum of joy and tragedy.
With their upcoming tracks, recorded in the bedroom, mixed by multi-grammy nominated producer Bryan Wilson (Sofi Tukker, Arctic Monkeys) and mastered by award winning mastering engineer Robin Schmidt (24-96 Mastering) they narrate stories from dark perspectives, all with a leitmotif and a hint of hope. | 18entertainment

38 special ammunition was cheaper and most departments had plenty on hand.
After much experimenting with various steels a blend capable of handling the pressures involved was created.These problems weren’t considered a big deal with owners at the time.Not that many people shot 357’s all the time anyway.Even today I wouldn’t feel out gunned carrying it for protection. This load is rated at a 97% one-shot stop if you do your part.This particular example is a 19-2 that dates it between 19.No I’m not kidding☺ Not a chance of that these days but it was a different time.
Anyway, the judge would write an order releasing the gun to the officer who then presented it to the property officer who logged it out. You would be surprised at how many officers got new duty guns in this way.
If there was ever a perfect revolver it was the S&W model 19.
A revolver in medium weight that has excellent handling, fires a powerful cartridge with wonderful accuracy. The .357 cartridge was created by Winchester for S&W in the 1930’s and used in the “N” frame S&W.
The first were sold in 1957 and renamed the model 19.
The standard models were 4 inch barreled with 2-½ inch barreled models coming out a bit later.
I placed it in the property room and went through all the usual court proceedings checking it out and back in each time for my court appearances. | 66weapons_science

The meeting comes just two weeks before the March 12 election in which Dorothy Rudy will automatically win a commission seat because no one else lives in her district.
In the current system, each commissioner must live in one of four districts, though commissioners are elected at large.
The districts were drawn up years ago before the city grew to its present population of 1,000. City Manager Jerry Carrier said three of the districts have increased in population since then while one has not.
Two weeks ago, the City Commission tabled a motion by Commissioner Roberta Rothband to discuss the issue.
"The reason it was tabled was because they felt by tabling it until after the election they would depoliticize the issue," Carrier said.
City law states that the mayor or a minimum of two commissioners can call for a special meeting. Rothband was joined by Commissioner Gloria Griffin. | 33law

She struggled throughout college, determined to be a teacher so she could help others. Now 43, Kifer thought getting help for her own kids, who attend school in Thompson School District, who both have dyslexia, would be easier.
It wasn’t. After encountering many roadblocks and slow progress, Kifer decided to take things into her own hands.
Kifer is one of the founding board members of Pinecrest Impact Academy, a charter school recently authorized by the Colorado Charter School Institute to open in Fort Collins for the 2020-21 school year. Initially, the school will serve grades K-4, building out to serve grades K-8. According to CSI, the school will contract with Pinecrest Academy, Inc., which also manages schools in Florida and Nevada.
By June, the school had already reached 74% of its enrollment goals, according to CSI.
Pinecrest is set to be a STEAM school, Kifer said, which will include emphasis on science, engineering, math and the arts. There are plenty of STEM schools in the area, Kifer said, but she sees Pinecrest as a school that will have a heavy focus on literacy.
That’s an area where Colorado students consistently struggle. According to Chalkbeat, about 60% of Colorado third-graders don’t read at grade level.
Pinecrest will incorporate variations of the Orton-Gillingham model, Kifer said, which brings a multi-sensory approach to learning to read. That model is also used by the NOCO Dyslexia Center in Fort Collins, which privately tutors children.
Before the school opens, all teachers will go through a training process to understand the approach, she said. The Orton-Gillingham approach works for all kids, not just struggling readers, Kifer added.
If classrooms adapted it, she said, struggling readers could stay in the classroom and learn alongside strong readers — that way no one has to miss important lesson plans to catch up.
“It’s for all students — it even helps students who are stronger readers become better spellers,” Kifer said. “It’s been researched, and it’s been proven to help all kids, even those with dyslexia.”
Help for students with dyslexia
About 1 in 5 people have some symptom of dyslexia, according to the International Dyslexia Association. At its core, people with dyslexia struggle with word recognition, reading fluency, spelling and writing.
Struggling to read can have lifelong ramifications.
According to a study conducted by the Annie E. Casey Foundation, students who don’t read proficiently by third grade are four times more likely to drop out of high school than proficient readers. A University of Texas study found high rates of dyslexia in a Texas prison's population. Approximately 80% of the inmates were functionally illiterate, and about half showed signs of dyslexia.
There has been effort at the state level and the school district level to bolster supports for struggling readers.
Last year, Poudre School District created a districtwide rollout plan to increase awareness around dyslexia. The district asked each elementary school to identify two teachers to participate in a group focused on dyslexia and struggling readers. Those teachers participated in a series of professional development classes and were given support to dig deep into student data to better learn what kids struggle with and what supports worked.
But Kifer said progress statewide is still moving too slow to help readers who are struggling now.
“Whole districts are like freighter boats,” Kifer said. “They’re trying to turn in the right direction, but it’s a really hard task. A charter school can steer that boat a lot faster.”
When she was a kid, Kifer said, teachers said she was lazy and stupid until she got to fourth grade. Finally, her fourth-grade teacher recognized something else was going on.
“She taught me how my brain worked,” Kifer said.
During recess, Kifer’s teacher let her and her friends practice plays during recess. Sometimes she’d even let them perform. That’s how Kifer learned to engage with literature and words — though she picked up a book for fun for the first time when she was 27.
“(That teacher) took the time to hone in on what excited me, what I was passionate about, a strength I had,” Kifer said.
She didn’t let Kifer fall through the cracks.
Kifer taught kindergarten for about a decade before she had her own children and stayed home with them. After seeing how difficult it was to get her children the support they needed, Kifer said, she wanted to create space for other children to thrive, so they wouldn’t fall through the cracks either.
Pinecrest doesn’t yet have a building, Kifer said, but it's in talks with local churches and other buildings that might offer affordable rent. The goal, she said, is to set up shop in southeast Fort Collins to be able to serve Fort Collins, Loveland and Windsor.
“We don’t want parents to put their kids in school to have them just get through the day or the year and come out not learning anything,” Kifer said. “Let’s get a good foundation so they can go to school and be excited to learn and do projects.”
Pinecrest Impact Academy
Pinecrest Impact Academy is set to host its next information night 6:30-8 p.m. July 31 at Council Tree Library, 2733 Council Tree Ave.

Editor's note: When Trish Kifer said changes to help struggling readers were not progressing fast enough, she was referencing change on a statewide level, not Poudre School District specifically. Her children do not attend PSD schools. | 43news

According to data released by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport on October 10, South Korea’s five automakers produced a combined 287,978 units in September, down 16.2 percent from the same period last year. It marked the lowest monthly production since August last year, when car output stood at 237,077 units due to strikes.
Hyundai’s car output dropped 22.6 percent year-on-year to 115,106 units in September, while that of Hyundai’s sister company Kia Motors fell 18.6 percent to 90,511 units from a year earlier. Lost production resulting from the partial strikes of the two car makers in September is estimated to total 1.4 trillion won (US$1.3 billion).
Outputs of GM Korea and Renault Samsung Motors fell 5 percent and 17 percent, respectively, in the same period. Ssangyong Motor’s production inched up 2.4 percent.
Meanwhile, the number of newly-registered cars produced in the nation edged down during this year from a year earlier, whereas that of newly registered import cars jumped about 20 percent.
The accumulated number of registered cars in September edged up 2.2 percent from a year earlier to 19.2 million units. The Ministry forecast the number would reach 19.4 million units at the end of this year, based on the trends.
During this year, 1.1 million cars were added to the registration, up 1.29 percent from the same period last year. The number of import cars increased 20.8 percent to 118,642 units, while that of domestic manufactured cars was down 0.51 percent to 1.0 million units.
As for import cars, BMW posted both the largest number of registrations and fastest growth. 25,262 BMW models were newly registered this year so far, up 16.6 percent from a year earlier. 19,055 units of the “Mercedes-Benz E-Class” were registered in the same period, up 20 percent from last year.
Among domestic manufactured cars, the new registry of GM Korea’s cars went up 1.3 percent and that of Ssangyong Motors 31.7 percent. In contrast, the number of newly-registered Renault Samsung cars saw a 5.6 percent decrease, Hyundai Motor a 0.98 percent decrease, and Kia Motors a 3.1 percent decrease, respectively.
Industry sources said the skyrocketing sales of foreign-made cars were due to the free trade agreement between Korea and the European Union (EU), and young consumers’ preferences for import vehicles. | 5automotive

According to Darren Rovell, it's estimated to be worth about $5 million a year. Ian Rapoport adds that it is a five-year deal that could turn into an eight-year deal, if certain clauses are triggered.
One day before that news broke, OBJ was a no-show for Giants organized team activities. Those practices, however, are voluntary and he doesn't have any language in his contract giving him an incentive to show up for something he doesn't have to show up for—like, say, a bonus. Nevertheless, OBJ being OBJ—and the NFL being the NFL—it was a little bit of A Thing.
Beckham was on a football field working out (presumably) this week, though. And he was doing it with none other than Johnny Football himself.
According to TMZ, Beckham and some other unnamed receivers were running routes for Manziel, who was apparently "lookin' like Johnny Football again." TMZ adds that "Word is his arm looked strong, and his feet looked fast." Manziel, you might recall, last played with the Cleveland Browns, a franchise that envies New York Jets QB depth chart. They released him in March 2016.
The chap with the large beard to Beckham's right, by the way, was not one of the other receivers. That is, uh, "Kickasso," Beckham's "custom cleat artist."
[Spends hours fixated on one phrase: "Kickasso, the custom cleat artist."]
According to ESPN, Beckham will be on hand for Thursday's OTA. | 58sports

The Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) has developed a PFM analysis code, PASCAL-SP, to evaluate the failure probabilities of piping caused by aging degradation mechanisms, such as fatigue and stress corrosion cracking in the environments of both pressurized water and boiling water reactors. To improve confidence in the analysis results obtained from PASCAL-SP, a benchmarking study was conducted together with the PFM analysis code, xLPR, which was developed jointly by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and the Electric Power Research Institute. The benchmarking study was composed of deterministic and probabilistic analyses related to primary water stress corrosion cracking in a dissimilar metal weld joint in a pressurized water reactor surge line. The analyses were conducted independently by NRC staff and JAEA using their own codes and under common analysis conditions. In the present paper, the analysis conditions for the deterministic and probabilistic analyses are described in detail, and the analysis results obtained from the xLPR and PASCAL-SP codes are presented. It was confirmed that the analysis results obtained from the two codes were in good agreement. | 44nuclear_science
