Anastasia: Hitting their Demographics Wickedly
Anastasia: Hitting their Demographics Wickedly
By Ross
The energy and excitement in the crowd is intoxicating, even though the crowd seems to be made up mostly of teenage girls way below the drinking age. And for me, it's a blessed thing to see the young audience members beaming with glee to be at a Broadway show. Anastasia is created with this demographic in mind and they are embracing it. The splashy and animated postcard-like musical is pretty enough; based on both of the 20th Century Fox's films of the same name; the 1997 animated film and the 1956 movie starring Ingrid Bergman and Yul Brynner. And I'm sure it's sweeping and grand enough to keep those imaginative young minds engaged and (hopefully) wanting to come back for more. That being said, I'm sure my friend and I were in the minority that had not seen either films, although I'm guessing most in the audience were here because of the animated one. There are probably also very few who don't know the tale of the woman who turns up in Paris claiming to be the long lost daughter of the Czar, the Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna of Russia. It's a real life fairy tale crafted into a dreamy romantic musical directed with flair by Darko Tresnjak, the Tony winning director of A Gentleman's Guide to Love & Murder. The story is birthed out of the chaos of revolution and murder, spanning the vastness between St. Petersburg and Paris, with a thrilling mystery at it's center. Is this young amnesiac woman the lost daughter to Russian royalty? Or part of a con job perpetrated upon the rich grief-stricken grandmother, the Dowager Empress Maria Feodorovna, regally played to perfection by Mary Beth Peil (The Visit). Is it for money? fame? acceptance? This is the hook that is being dangled before our eyes (and ears), but sadly, we all know how the true story ends (the body of Anastasia was found years later buried with the rest of the family and Anna Anderson the most famous of impostors was proven to be just that). Although, here on the Broadhurst Theatre stage, we want to believe.
Anastasia, with a book by the brilliant Terrence McNally (The Visit, Master Class) and songs by the Tony-winning team of Stephen Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens (Ragtime) starts out thoroughly enchanting us with the lovely and engaging memory song, 'Once Upon a December', one that is sure to be reprised throughout this quest to regain a slice of the familial past. It's a charming catchy song sung by a grandmother to her favorite granddaughter before leaving her for Paris. It carries with it all the love and warmth, enshrined in a music box, wrapped in the royal romance of pre-revolutionary Russia. It swirls a magical spell on us just like the Russian ghosts who dance and swirl about to the regale but sometimes chaotic choreography by Peggy Hickey (A Gentlemen's Guide…), each and every time the song is performed. It reminds me of other sweet lullabies used to bring forward the innocent past from a few older and better crafted musicals, such as Mary Poppins and Les Misérables. I only wish the rest of the show brought forth similar and stronger attachments and memories, more then what this pretty, but slightly dull musical is able to conjure.

The new gripping thriller from the Sunday Times bestselling author of The Widow, and the Richard & Judy No. 1 bestseller, The Child.
When two eighteen-year-old girls go missing on their gap year in Thailand, their families are thrust into the international spotlight: desperate, bereft and frantic with worry.
Journalist Kate Waters is brought on board to report on the story. She always does everything she can to be first to the story, first with the exclusive, first to discover the truth – and this time is no exception.
But as she draws nearer to uncovering the case, she can't help but think of her own son, who she hasn't seen in two years, since he left home to go travelling in Thailand. This time it's personal.
As the case of the missing girls unfolds, they will all find that even this far away, danger can lie closer to home than you might think.

The boys in blue play tonight in Denver at the Pepsi Center, home of the Colorado Avalanche.
In reading up on each teams' line-ups I noticed that the CBJ are currently the 9th seed in the West, tied with Minnesota with 38 points. Ironically, Colorado is the 8th seed with 39 points.
Tonight's game is big! This whole road trip is big as it'll pretty much determine where the guys will be for the rest of the season. There's still a ton of work to be done, don't get me wrong!
They shut out the Philly Flyers last Sat. They shut-out the LA Kings this past Monday. And they shut-out the Anaheim Ducks on Weds.
They'll take any and all points at this time... :p
And what do ya know, Mason has been named Rookie of the Month by the NHL for the month of December! Two months in a row!
Ride that hot 'tender! ;)
Go Jackets!

I know Jane Fisher and the haters will use it to make me out to be mad (and in their narrow world 'madness' is a crime, hence the police beatings and detentions and record).
But it amuses me that I will be 33 in 4 days time and have been travelling homeless for 3 year and have faced mocking and torment from the 'pharisees' in the Church of England, basically, am I following the path of Jesus?
Do I indeed have to ride up to Winchester on Good Friday, to be crucified?
Yeeks, someone get a strong donkey and a while sheet, and some palm branches! 🙂
Nothing learned in 2000 years, the pharisees still govern and still publicly crucify.

I don't know about you… but cute cats and dogs always cheer up my day. Whether it's their adorable noses or innocent big eyes, my heart melts with every "aww" inducing picture I see. Famous Internet cats and dogs always turn my stress into "yes!"
I'm guessing you feel exactly the same – which is why you're here in the first place. So, without further ado, here are a few gorgeous photos of 17 of the sweetest, most cuddly cats and dogs online. Guaranteed to perk up your day!
P.S. RIP Grumpy Cat. We miss you.
1. Snoopybabe
With more than 301k Instagram followers, Snoopybabe is a bonafide feline celebrity. But of course, it's easy to see why. I mean, just look at those delightfully chubby cheeks! I just want to squish them with love. And that deep cleft too. Somebody's a fur ball of cuteness!
Snoopybabe also knows how to rock any kitty outfit, albeit with those adorable "I'd rather be somewhere else" eyes.
While no longer active on Instagram, you'll be able to find Snoopybabe and owner over on Weibo, China's popular social media platform.
2. Cookie
Owned by talented blogger / photographer Olia Saunders, Cookie is one of the cutest and most photogenic poodles you'll ever find on Instagram. Cookie is no rookie when it comes to infectious affection!
Whether eyeing a stack of delicious vegan pancakes or sniffing flowers, you'll always find Cookie smiling with absolute joy. Interesting fun fact: Cookie only enjoys drinking and eating from 'human utensils', never doggy bowls.
3. Suki the Adventure Cat
Suki is a shoo-in for our list of cute cats and dogs. Just look at her exquisite Bengal beauty!
What makes this smartly striped kitty all the more unique is her bold, wanderlust spirit. Suki bravely travels all over the world with her adventurous owner, who takes photos of her feline friend set against stunning nature backdrops.
Envious, much?
4. Chewie
Insta-famous Chewie always has an eager-to-please smile on his face. This pomeranian sure knows how to work that camera!
With more than 108k followers, Chewie delights his fans by posing with delicious food, sharing his cute #OOTD, or simply basking in lovely sunshine. His trademark pose: sticking his paw out, just to say a friendly 'hi'!

5. Maru
Maru is a Scottish Fold cat who simply loves his boxes – even when he's way too big to fit.
He's also been certified as one of the most viewed cats on Youtube, even clinching a Guinness World Record some years ago. Us humans just have a thing for re-watching Suki jump in and out of boxes, again and again… and again.
When it comes to cute cats and dogs, Maru is no doubt one of the most famous with hundreds of millions of views and a whooping 282k Instagram followers. Well done, kitty!
6. Doug the Pug
Doug the Pug is a true globe-trotting celebrity. Many fortunate everyday humans – such as the cast of Stranger Things and Demi Lovato – have had the privilege of meeting this canine sweetheart in the flesh. Lucky them!
This pawsome pug is especially known for his cute parodies of pop culture, such as that iconic sewer scene from It.
With a staggering 3.8 million Instagram followers, I'm pretty sure Doug the Pug will be running for President soon. He's got my vote!
7. Monty
Monty's special condition means he was born without a nasal bone. This makes his kitty face a little flatter and wider than most other cats. I think he's absolutely adorable just the way he is!
Adopted by two caregiving humans, Monty's rise to fame has helped to inspire greater awareness of other special needs cats around the world.
While he may look a little grumpy on the outside, Monty is actually a really friendly cat who happily waits to greet his beloved homosapien Daddy whenever he gets home. Such a sweetie pie!
8. Tuna
Tuna is a beautiful underdog with an overbite!
Abandoned by a roadside as a pup, Tuna was adopted at a farmer's market by Courtney Dasher, who immediately took to his one-of-a-kind looks. Others felt the same – and it wasn't long before Tuna became an epic Instagram sensation.
Tuna now sparks joy in the hearts of more than 2.1 million loyal followers, just from being his natural wide-eyed, adorably goofy self. His 'rags to riches' story makes him a true hero for cute cats and dogs everywhere!
9. Nala
Nala is most known for her purrrrrfect round eyes and her innocent curiosity. She's also a long-time Instagrammer, being among the first feline profiles on the platform.
Nala started her humble life in a cat shelter. She was eventually adopted by a loving owner, who was inspired to name her kitty after her favorite Lion King character.
Now with 4.2 million cat lovers following her, Nala is as pretty as she is hardworking. Thanks to her popularity, she now allegedly earns more than $15,000 per sponsored post. That's a lot of dough for a cat!
10. Bodhi
Among the many cute cats and dogs, Bodhi has to be the most well-dressed! This impeccable fella knows how to impress with his classy men's suits, casual wear, and other fashion hits.
Most days, you'll find Bodhi smiling for the camera. However, like any professional model, this doggy knows how to dial up his 'serious charm' whenever he adorns 'em cool shades!
11. Lil BUB
Sometimes, it takes a cute cat to show us how our 'weaknesses' can secretly be our biggest strength.
Burn with dwarfism, no teeth, and an under-formed jaw, Lil BUB's distinct appearance has helped to propel her to massive Internet stardom. Due to her health condition, her tongue always hangs out – making her even more fawn-worthy!
Lil BUB is also a real trooper. Originally expected to live for only six months. she has now turned eight years old. In addition, this feline inspiration has also helped to raise over $700,000 for homeless animals everywhere.
Above all else, Lil BUB and her caring owner Mike Bridavsky share a very special bond – which really shines through in interviews like below. Awwww!
Here are a few more cute cats and dogs to fall in love with!
12. Norbert
Gosh, those playful eyes! Need. To. Hug. Norbert. Need canine therapy, pronto.
13. Coffee aka Mr. White
Dear Mr. White, you look extremely perplexed. That's ok. Life is confusing to me, too.
14. Marnie
All tongue and no bite makes Marnie a good girl!
15. Waffles
Those adorable folded ears and big "hold me" eyes. I can't even. Waffles, I love you!
16. Loulou
Loulou the ultra friendly dog is a pal with everyone! Not just with humans, too.
17. Hamilton
Nice to meet you, Sir Hamilton. My, what a regal moustache you have!

Orange plans to tap into Ethiopia's telecom sector
Orange SA, a French-based multinational telecom company, is planning to invest in the Ethiopian telecom sector, The Reporter has learnt.
This was disclosed in a meeting held between Teshome Toga, Minister of Public Enterprises and representatives of the company. During the meeting, the company showed its interest to involve in the process of the privatization of the sector.
In addition, the delegates also said that Orange is interested to invest in the whole telecom sector. They also expressed their interest of expanding and modernizing the mobile service of the country, read the statement issued by the Ministry.
Orange SA, formerly known as France Telecom SA, currently has more than 256 million customers worldwide. In 2015 alone, the Company has collected GBP 40 billion revenue from its activities.
It mainly involved in a range of telecom sector activities including: providing mobile, landline, internet, IPTV services.
Orange is not the only company which showed interest to be part of Ethiopia's telecom sector. Companies such as MTN and VODACOM – major telecom players in Africa – have openly expressed their interest to invest in Ethiopia.
"Ethiopia presents many existing telecommunication opportunities and we look forward to further discussions with Ethiopian officials on potential partnerships and opportunities," Karen Byamugisha, external communication specialists from MTN Group told The Reporter back in June, 2018.
He also disclosed that MTN had already renewed its license to provide value added services in Ethiopia and will continue to maintain an office in Addis Ababa. Headquartered in Johannesburg, MTN operate across Africa, Europe and Asia. Its total asset is estimated to be above USD 14 billion.
This move came in June following a decision by the Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF) Executive committee. Back then, the Front has decided to privatize some of the major Enterprises also known as commanding heights.
State-owned enterprise such as Ethiopian Airlines, Ethio Telecom, Railway Corporation, Ethiopian Electric Power and a number of Sugar Plants are to be partially privatized with the majority stakes still remaining under government's ownership.
This decision from the core of EPRDF, created a debate where many disagree with it. In fact, some have downplayed the move to privatize Ethiopian as careless.
In a recent interview with The Reporter, Bereket Simon, veteran of EPRDF has expressed its disagreement with the privatization of the aforementioned enterprises.
"The fact that by selling Ethio-telecom, Ethiopian Electric Power or the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam to foreigners might give a short-term solution but in the long-term we would be in a deep trouble," he said.
This is not a solution to our problem. It is an out-dated economic silver bullet. We shall not transfer those institutions to someone else.

Leigh Plimmer
San Antonio TX Office
Leigh and her husband Rob, a Chartered Accountant, relocated to Atlanta GA USA in 2000.

Leigh has extensive trade show and promotional experience managing corporate trade shows in South Africa and wholesale trade shows in the US.
With first-hand experience of what is involved with relocating to a new country and fully aware of how daunting this big move can be, Leigh's goal is to assist fellow South Africans however she can, and provide them with peace of mind when transferring their funds safely to their new country
Leigh has extensive connections within the US who can assist with tax and accounting matters and will pool all of her knowledge and experience for the benefit of our customers
Despite obtaining US Citizenship, Leigh and her husband delayed financial immigration and the repatriation of their retirement annuities until 2014 as they did not want to face the frustrations of dealing with SARS and the SA banks. Once she learned of the services Rand Rescue offered and compared these services and associated costs with competitive companies, Leigh had the peace of mind and reassurance that Rand Rescue's ultimate goal was exceptional customer service and that Rand Rescue's efficient and effective team would deal with the bureaucracy and protracted process with guaranteed success at a reasonable and competitive price.
Having assimilated well and made many new friends that include SA Expats, Leigh enjoys living in Atlanta and outside of work loves gardening and spending time with her husband and 2 young sons, ages 6 years and 16 months.

In what has become an annual spring event, the Disneyland Resort is raising ticket prices for 2014. Last year, 2013, we were given a one-day notice, and this year the admission increase came without warning. The new prices were quietly updated on the Disneyland website overnight.
What is most troubling about an increase for 2014 is the lack of additions to the Disneyland Resort. In 2012 Disneyland Management made significant price increases, but also relaunched Disney California Adventure which included the opening of Buena Vista Street and Cars Land. In 2013 a much smaller admission increase pointed to the opening of the Fantasy Faire and Mickey and the Magical Map. However for 2014 there are no significant additions to speak of.
Some of this year's increases and changes are quite significant. This is especially true with the Annual Passport options. A 1 day park hopper ticket is now $150. The Premiere Passport, which allows for entry into all Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort parks broke the $1,000 mark, and new sales of the SoCal Passport for Disneyland has been suspended. The Annual Passholder Blockout tickets were also eliminated.
Disneyland spokesperson Suzi Brown was quoted in the Orange County Register stating, "Due to the popularity of our annual pass program – and to preserve the guest experience for our annual passholders and all guests – future sales of all annual passes will be subject to availability. We continue to offer a variety of other annual passes so that our guests can choose a pass that's right for them." Current SoCal Annual Passholders can still renew their passes for the new price of $379, as can those who have SoCal passes which have expired in the past 90 days.
Here is a breakdown of the latest increases:
2014 Disneyland Resort Admission Prices
- 1-Day 1 Park
- $96 Adult, increased by $4
- $90 Child, increased by $4
- 1-Day Park Hopper

- $178 Adult, increased by $3
- $165 Child, increased by $3
- 2-Day Park Hopper
- $217 Adult, increased by $7
- $204 Child, increased by $10
- 3-Day, 1 park per day with Magic Morning
- $226 Adult, increased by $1
- $215 Child, increased by $6
- 3-Day Park Hopper with Magic Morning
- $265 Adult, increased by $5
- $254 Child, increased by $10
- 4-Day, 1 park per day with Magic Morning
- $250 Adult, increased by $0
- $235 Child, increased by $5
- 4-Day Park Hopper with Magic Morning
- $289 Adult, increased by $4
- $274 Child, increased by $9
- 5-Day, 1 park per day with a Magic Morning
- $266 Adult, increased by $1
- $250 Child, increased by $6
- 5-Day Park Hopper with Magic Morning
- $305 Adult, increased by $5
- $289 Child, increased by $10
2014 Disneyland Resort Annual Passport Prices
- SoCal Select Annual Passport – $289, increased by $10. Monthly Payment option, $16.09 (SoCal Resident Only) $159 to add parking.
- SoCal Annual Passport – new sales suspended.
- Deluxe Annual Passport – $519, increased by $20. Monthly payment for Ca. Resident, $35.25. $159 to add parking.
- Premium Annual Passport – $699, increased by $30. Monthly payment for Ca. Resident, $50.25. Includes Parking and No Blockout Dates.
- Premier Passport – $1,029, increased by $50
Disneyland Resort parking is also on the rise. The new prices are:
- $17 for Auto / Motorcycle, increased by $1
- $22 for Oversized, increased by $1
- $27 for Buses, increased by $1
How do you feel about the latest round of Disneyland price increases? Is it justified, or just corporate greed? Share your thoughts in the comments below!

The Bigoray area of the Pembina field in western Alberta consists of approximately 50 naturally fractured Nisku carbonate reefs. Production from the Bigoray Nisku D and E pools started in 1978, and shortly after, water injection was initiated to maintain reservoir pressure as a secondary drive mechanism. By 2013, the pools had reached high water cuts, making them uneconomical to produce. In 2017, a decision was made to reactivate the pools and initiate a solvent injection enhanced oil recovery (EOR) project feasibility assessment.
A multidisciplinary team was assembled to review and reinterpret all the geoscience data with modern methodologies to characterize the reservoirs and create new static model descriptions to be used in a dynamic model. Data from well logs, seismic, core measurements, and image logs were integrated into a comprehensive and consistent model that could be used with certainty as a prediction tool.
A history-matching process was carried out by creating different realizations of the static model to honor well-to-well connectivity and water movement within the pools. The history-matching process was performed while ensuring that the model updates were global in nature and consistent with the geological understanding of the reservoirs.
The history-matched model was used to optimize the location of new producers and injectors based on remaining oil saturations and reservoir structure. Optimization of the EOR scheme involved testing a matrix of scenarios to investigate the effect of injection rates and solvent volumes as well as production pressures and voidage ratios. Additionally, in an effort to improve displacement efficiency, a large number of simulation runs were devoted to test and establish the most efficient locations for the well perforations in both the new injectors and producers.

I know they're trendy. I know it's a major 90's comeback. I tell you what: SO SUE ME. Even the flannel shirt tied around the waist gave me a "My So Called Life" moment. And I loved her even more for it.

Wouldn't it be nice to have some form of an invisible protective shield around us while we pray to keep the distractions away from us? Yes! And here's some good news: each one of us can and should build this protective shield to guard our salah as per the instructions given in the Quran and the Sunnah. The following ayah;
"And those who strictly guard their Prayer"[The Holy Quran, 23:9]
goes to show that our salah needs to be constantly shielded and guarded from everything that affects its quality.
The collective attentiveness in the actions of the heart, tongue and limbs form the basis of the khushu protective shield.
Here are some practical tips to maintain Humility In Prayer:
1) Knowledge:
Increase in Islamic knowledge; learn about Allah, tawheed, His Names and Attributes, and various aspects and sciences of the sunnah. Why? Because Allah says:
"It is only the learned amongst His servants who truly fear Allah"[35:28]
2) On Time:
Pray on time and plan your life around salah timings and not the other way around. Prioritize pleasing Allah over pleasing people. We can't say, "But I have work, I have to meet so-and-so etc." because before all of that came about, we already knew about our salah timings; so that's not a valid excuse.
3) Seek Refuge in Allah:
Seek refuge in Allah (glorified and exalted be He) from Satan by saying "Aa-udhubillahi min As-Shaitanir Rajim" before starting the salah and during the salah too when needed.
4) Be Mindful:
Contemporary psychologists use a very simple technique called "Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy" to help people stay focused in the present moment rather than being engrossed in foggy thoughts of past or future while losing touch with reality. It means to simply remind yourself to come back to the present moment as soon as you realize that your thoughts have drifted away from what is happening right now. With practice, InshaAllah we can benefit from this technique to maintain our khushu. Start by being mindful of Allah when you make the intention for ablution; be attentive while doing the ablution; then recite the recommended dua after completing the ablution. At all times of the day, keep away from anything that makes you forget the remembrance of Allah
5) Understand:
Read the tafsir (exegesis) of Surah Al Fatiha; understand each Ayah and pause in between. (Tafsir by Ibn Kathir is recommended.) Remember, well-begun is half done! Read translations to understand all the surahs that you recite during salah. Try to offer Tahajjud and recite the Quran during those hours of the night, as that is a good time for understanding the words of Allah.
6) Visualize:
Always try to remind yourself that you are standing in front of Allah (glorified and exalted be He), pray as though you see Him; and if you cannot do that, then be aware that He is definitely seeing you. As you recite, visualize the Arabic words of each surah. Do not close your eyes, but focus on the place of sujood.
7)Never Stop:
Be wary of sticking to your salah, particularly in times of distress – it will help a lot in dealing with the situation as mentioned in the Quran:
"Seek Allah's help with patient perseverance and prayer. It is indeed hard except for those who are humbly submissive."[2:45]
Do not lose hope or give up if these tips do not work at first or do not provide an immediate solution. Remember that the seed of khushu will grow only after a gentle rain of consistent reminders seep into the heart by Allah's Will.

In the biopharmaceutical industry, extractables and leachables have come under the spotlight as stainless steel manufacturing systems have given way to single-use assemblies in manufacturing operations.
Yet, there is some confusion as to what the terms 'extractables' and 'leachables' actually mean. They are often talked about interchangeably, but there are actually distinct differences between the two.
Extractables studies are an assessment performed on a material. They are performed to identify substances that a patient may be exposed to and are typically conducted using 'worst-case' conditions.
Leachables studies are an assessment performed on the drug product to identify substances that patients are potentially exposed to and are typically conducted using 'true process' conditions.
Learn about different approaches to extractables and leachables testing in our white paper: Demystifying Extractables TestingSo why are extractables and leachables so important?
Due to the nature of plastics and the potential release agents and plasticizers used in their manufacturing processes, there is potential for some of these to be released into the biopharmaceutical process stream.
In a single-use assembly, numerous components have the potential to contribute to extractables and leachables. These include tubing, connectors, bags, bottles and filters. Therefore, the whole assembly should be assessed collectively.
Every plastic will have some degree of compound leaching or release, but each compound may not be given equal importance with regard to what is allowed or is applicable to the process stream.
As there is no 'one size fits all' with regard to what is and isn't allowed for many compounds, end-users need to assess the risk based on a number of factors.
Risks and assessment can be categorised into:
- Those which impact on patient safety, for example toxicological effects
- Those which relate to technical factors, such as process control and regulatory approval
- Those which relate to social factors and perceived negativities, such as social media trending of compound 'buzz words'.
Vendors usually take on the responsibility of performing extractables studies, while end-users taken the leachables part - as these studies should be conducted using 'true process' conditions. However, there remains some confusion over what a vendor should provide.
In our Demystifying Extractables Testing webinar, we asked participants what their expectation was of a single-use vendor's role in extractables and leachables studies.
While more than 70 percent of respondents believed that the vendor could only offer extractables data, more than 20 percent responded that both extractables and leachables data should be supplied by the vendor. However, leachables data needs to come from a true process stream that only the end-user would have access to.
The vendor would take the following steps:
- Selection of component parts - selection and materials of construction would be scrutinized, ensuring that as much as possible, industry-standard components or materials are used
- The material of construction - product contact materials and additives would be considered
- Assessment of stability to irradiation
- Assessment of stability to common biopharmaceutical process solutions and chemicals
- Assessment of further manufacturing process steps which would have the ability to change or add compounds which could be released
The vendor would then either perform their own extractables study, or obtain the extractable data set from their supply chain in order to identify 'worst-case' released compounds under extreme conditions.
The outcome from the vendor's point of view would be to:
- Ensure that products have patient safety at the forefront
- Instill confidence with their customers that they are supplying good quality characterized consumables
- Ensure that, throughout the supply chain, there is control over the individual component parts
- Understand any interactions which may occur that could have the ability to negatively affect customer processes
The customer would take the following steps:
Selection of component parts - customers may have experienced negative effects on their own processes with specific components used within singe-use assemblies. This may inform their choices
- The material of construction - product contact areas and any additional additives would be key considerations
- Stability to irradiation, process streams, solvents and chemicals would be assessed
The process would then be mapped out to ensure that all components are compatible for their intended use. The next step would be to take the 'worst-case' extractables data from the vendor and risk assess this based upon knowledge of their process.
This helps the customer understand how componentry will behave, but to satisfy regulatory bodies, further 'leachable' studies may need to be performed using the actual process stream intended for use with the assembly. There is generally more process risk from extractables and leachables as the process progresses. Released compounds early in the process may be removed through processing steps, but as the process reaches its final formulation, the risk attached to any released compounds present exponentially increases.
The outcome of this data generation from the customer's point of view would again be to:
- Ensure that the products they supply always have patient safety at the forefront
- Ensure that their manufacturing process and drug product is consistent and 'in-control', in order to receive regulatory approval
- Ensure that there is control over the individual component parts throughout the supply chain, and to understand any interactions which may occur and could negatively affect processes
It is vital that there is clarity across the biopharmaceutical manufacturing industry on the importance of extractables and leachables studies and who should carry out the studies. And, while both vendors and customers may have different reasons for carrying out testing, the end goal for both parties is the same.

On her international debut, the 15-year-old Meilutyte clocked 1:05.47 to touch the wall first, Xinhua reported.American Rebecca Soni, silver medallist at Beijing Games, chased her to finish second in 1:05.55. The bronze medal went to Japan's Satomi Suzuki who posted 1:06.46."I can't believe it. It's too much for me," said Meilutyte in tears."It was hard and difficult. At the moment I can't speak too much. But it means a lot to me and I'm so proud," said Meilutyte, who trains in Plymouth, Britain.She easily seized the lead after diving off the block, and never looked back to touch the end. A capacity of Lithuanian athletes, coaches and volunteers roared on the tribune for her, sharing with her the historic success.Soni was little disappointed for a silver but she said learned something along the way.It is the first-ever Olympic medal for Lithuania. Meilutyte is the sole female swimmer of her country in London together with other three male swimmers in the squad.A day before, the teenager set a European record of 1:05.21 in the women's 100 metres breaststroke semifinal as the fastest qualifier, also her personal best.Only three swimmers have been faster than Meilutyte in history, world record holder Jessica Hardy (1:04.45), Rebecca Soni (1:04.84) and Liesel Jones (1:05.09).

Bias in the Effective Bid-Ask Spread
Revise and resubmit at Journal of Financial Economics
Awarded the De la Vega Prize 2017
Blog | SSRN | Internet appendix
Abstract: The effective bid-ask spread measured relative to the spread midpoint overstates the true effective bid-ask spread in markets with discrete prices and elastic liquidity demand. The average bias is 13-20% for S&P 500 stocks in general, depending on the estimator used as benchmark, and up to 97% for low-priced stocks. Cross-sectional bias variation across stocks and trading venues can mislead stock selection and order routing decisions. The bias also undermines liquidity timing and trading performance evaluations, and can lead non-sophisticated investors to overpay for liquidity. To overcome these problems, the paper proposes new estimators of the effective bid-ask spread.
Determinants of Limit Order Cancellations
(with Petter Dahlström and Lars Nordén)
Abstract: We investigate the economic rationale behind limit order cancellations from the perspective of liquidity suppliers. We predict that an order is cancelled whenever its expected revenue no longer exceeds the expected cost and we model how order profitability variation can be determined from changes in the state of the order book and the order queue position. Our empirical evidence supports the predictions in general and for orders submitted by high-frequency trading firms in particular. Consistent with our model approach, we find that order cancellation patterns are more consistent with market making than with liquidity demand strategies.
Call Auction Volatility Extensions
(with Ester Félez Viñas)
Blog | SSRN
Abstract: Volatility extensions in closing auctions are designed to improve the efficiency of the closing price. We hypothesize that the channel for the efficiency increase is that extensions improve market integrity and investor trust in the auction mechanism. We confirm that the introduction of a volatility extension indeed reduces extraordinary closing price volatility, deters market manipulation strategies, and makes the auction more attractive to investors. Our findings provide guidance to policy makers who are due to introduce volatility extensions at NYSE and NASDAQ in 2017. In the European Union, call auction volatility curbs become mandatory under Markets in Financial Instruments Directive II in 2018.
Does Commonality in Illiquidity Matter to Investors?
(with Richard Anderson, Jane Binner, and Birger Nilsson)
Published 2013 as a Federal Reserve Bank of St Louis Working Paper
Abstract: This paper investigates whether investors are compensated for taking on commonality risk in equity portfolios. A large literature documents the existence and the causes of commonality in illiquidity, but the implications for investors are less understood. In a more than fifty year long sample of NYSE stocks, we find that commonality risk carries a return premium of at least 2.0 per cent annually. The commonality risk premium is statistically and economically significant, and substantially higher than what is found in previous studies. It is robust when controlling for illiquidity level effects, transaction costs, as well as variations in illiquidity measurement.

Actually I think that's a limitation with the Open Source fonts that we bundle. They don't have cyrillic characters unfortunately.
I've expanded on the documentation regarding this for you…
GD fontsWe bundle some Open Source .ttf fonts (Bitstream fonts) that unfortunately don't have characters for all languages. For example you may notice issues in Cyrillic ("Russian").
This affects:
- Vertical text shown on pemrission editing interfaces. This issue is less relevant as it once was, as modern web browsers can render vertical text directly.
- The Logo Wizard.
- The main_custom_gfx block.
The solution to '1' is to upload Courier New Bold Italic.ttf from your own computer to data_custom/fonts/Courier New Bold Italic.ttf. We would distribute this file with Composr, except we don't have a license to; however if you have a copy of Windows or Mac OS you should have your own licensed copy of this file.
The solution to '2' is to upload Verdana.ttf from your computer as data_custom/fonts/Vera.ttf. This works for most the Verdana font only, which is the default used during the Setup Wizard; if you are using the Logo Wizard manually then you may just want to upload all your fonts to data_custom/fonts and pick one of those you uploaded.
Become a fan of Composr on Facebook or add me as a friend. Add me on on Twitter. Follow me on Minds (where I am most active). Support me on Patreon
- If not, please let us know how we can do better (please try and propose any bigger ideas in such a way that they are fundable and scalable).
- If so, please let others know about Composr whenever you see the opportunity or support me on Patreon.
- If my reply is too Vulcan or expressed too much in business-strategy terms, and not particularly personal, I apologise. As a company & project maintainer, time is very limited to me, so usually when I write a reply I try and make it generic advice to all readers. I'm also naturally a joined-up thinker, so I always express my thoughts in combined business and technical terms. I recognise not everyone likes that, don't let my Vulcan-thinking stop you enjoying Composr on fun personal projects.
- If my response can inspire a community tutorial, that's a great way of giving back to the project as a user.

By Wangui Kanina
NAIVASHA, Kenya, May 27 (Reuters) - Sudan's government and southern rebels agreed on Thursday to fresh talks in June to flesh out a peace deal ending Africa's longest running civil war, rebels and mediators said.
The government and the Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA) signed agreements on Wednesday in Kenya on how to share power and manage disputed strategic areas, lifting the last hurdles to a full peace deal and cease-fire in Africa's biggest state.
"We agreed today that we'll be coming back on June 22," said SPLA spokesman Yasir Arman. Mediators confirmed the date.
The accord includes opponents in a 21-year-old war but leaves out a separate conflict raging in the western Darfur area and excludes up to 30 other militia groups, some eyeing Sudan's newly tapped oil wealth, who could still scupper peace hopes.
Wednesday's accords give the Khartoum government 70 percent of executive and legislative seats in the north and the SPLA the same in the south during a six-year transition, an SPLA delegate said. After that the south would vote on secession.
In the disputed Nuba Mountains and Southern Blue Nile regions, which control much of the oil wealth, the government would have 55 percent of power and the SPLA 45 percent, with the governorship switching between the two every 18 months.
Governments, aid agencies and the African Union hailed the deal, but nearly a day after the ceremony the text had still not been published and copies were restricted to a few delegates.
Both sides made concessions and must now persuade those at home, polarized by the war, that it is time for peace.
"You both will need to sell your agreement to the Sudanese people and mobilize your support," Norway's development minister Hilde Frafjord Johnson told the government's negotiator Ali Osman Mohamed Taha and SPLA leader John Garang.
First Vice President Taha took a direct role in September, invigorating decade-old efforts to end a war pitting northern Arab Muslims against southern black animists and Christians.
Veteran leader Garang acknowledged the tasks ahead.
"Nine months is what God has prescribed as a full term. We hope we have delivered to you a healthy baby — but then of course a child needs to be nurtured," he said.
Kenyan mediators said a final peace deal could be concluded within two months, which Johnson said seemed realistic.
"We commend both sides for their commitment to peace and urge them to move quickly to work out details of a formal cease-fire and related security arrangements, as well as the means for implementing the agreements signed today," Secretary of State Colin Powell said in a statement.
South Africa said it was ready to lead post-war reconstruction in Sudan.
Deputy Foreign Minister Aziz Pahad told Reuters South Africa would consult the World Bank, International Monetary Fund and other donors on efforts to rebuild Sudan's infrastructure.
But optimism has been tempered by Sudan's other conflicts such as in Darfur, where more than a year of fighting between black African rebels and horse-mounted Arab militias has forced an estimated one million people from their homes in what the United Nations says is the world's worst humanitarian disaster.
"Sudan will not be at peace until the problem of Darfur is resolved," Powell cautioned.
Previous protocols covered forming a post-war national army and an equal division of oil revenues during the transition.
"There is still room for plenty of disagreement on implementation," said John Ashworth, analyst with Sudan Focal Point, an advocacy office for Christian churches in Sudan.
"The government is facing the reality that in six and a half years the southerners are going to vote for independence...and they won't want to cede the oil areas."
The Arab League, which includes Sudan, welcomed the deal but expressed concern it could lead to the secession of the south.
"Some people are worried about the partition of Sudan and will continue to be worried. The coming days will show how real these fears are," said Arab League spokesman Hossam Zaki.
Oil has fueled religious and ethnic enmities with the SPLA laying claim to fields producing much of the 300,000 barrels a day that earns Sudan over $3 billion a year at current prices.
Sudan's civil war has killed an estimated two million people mainly through famine and disease since 1983 when Khartoum tried to impose Islamic sharia law on the mainly animist south.

The last time I tried coffee kombucha, I made coffee and then added sugar and water. This time I used 1 quart of strong coffee, added 1/4 cup sugar, and a scoby. Because coffee is relatively acidic all by itself, I didn't add any kombucha to inoculate it.
The dark coffee made it difficult to read the pH paper and measure acidity.
- 14 days: pH 4.4? This had a strong coffee flavor, with a very slight tartness. There's a thin, dark scoby.
- 20 days: pH 3.6? There was a medium to strong sourness and a dense, rich coffee flavor. The scoby was thin and weak.
It's really unusual for kombucha to have any tartness at pH 4.4, so I have to wonder if it was actually lower. I probably should have stopped this sooner. It's worth trying this with cold-brew coffee, which should have even less starting acidity. I could also give it a go with espresso or coffee from my moka pot.
In my kombucha nutrient experiments, adding DAP seemed to cause the dominant acid to be lactic, which is much milder than acetic. Perhaps I should duplicate this experiment, but with added DAP. The DAP experiment didn't produce a scoby, but that's not really a problem here, since this already didn't produce a viable scoby.
My first time making coffee kombucha also had a thin scoby, and I listed four possible reasons. With this batch I can rule out three of them, which leaves: coffee doesn't support a strong, scoby-forming culture. Some people report fast fermentation and a thick scoby from coffee kombucha, so what's different here? It might still be true for some cultures and not others, depending on the exact microbes present. If you have any other ideas, please leave them in a comment.

So now that I've attempted my subversive plot to humanize my readership, my mind has been free to wander back into the realm of the intriguingly absurd. This led me directly to my man, Alex Chiu. This unparalleled genius has invented an Immortality Device, and made it possible for you to purchase everlasting life right off the internet. For those of you who are wondering if that's Mr. Chiu's picture I posted, no----that's 50 Cent, you dumbass. Anyway, I still can't quite figure out exactly how this whole things works scientifically. His theory is based on some shit about magnets, electric currents and blood circulation. Hell no, I didn't read the whole thing, and you shouldn't either. This dude is just eerie. After about 7 1/2 minutes on his site, I felt like he was eating my brain. Anyway, if you're interested in buying this device, your money is completely refundable within 90 days. I'm not sure how you know if your Immortality Device is in working order or not within that time frame, but I guess if you're dumb enough to believe this crap, it just might make sense to you. If you have any concerns about what life will be like in the future, Chiu can explain that, too. Yes, he's also blessed with the gift of prophetic wisdom. When his invention becomes accessible worldwide, things are going to get pretty fuckin' weird. No one will need to have children, because if you don't grow old, you never have to birth something just so it will be around to take care of you when you're old. At the very least, you can keep partying for like 400 years, and then settle down and have a kid. He also envisions other weird stuff like robots doing all of the farming in the future, inside of giant skyscrapers. Does this sound utopian to you? Are you ready to go see this yet? Okay, but don't blame me if you end up paying $105 for some Eternal Life Foot Braces: http://www.alexchiu.com/
So, what does 50 Cent have to do with anything? First of all, if you haven't seen Stewie on Family Guy dissing 50's grammar skills, you should really check it out here: http://www.dailyhaha.com/_vids/Stewievs50cent.htm
Secondly, Dominic Tocci did an animated parody of 50's song and video for "P.I.M.P", starring none other than George W. Bush. I don't want to spoil it by giving away too much. Just don't sleep on this one: http://www.kizash.com/films/1001/138/

This is the color red.
Calculator Screenshots
This is College Physics Answers with Shaun Dychko. White light is incident on this soap film at an angle of 45 degrees. The soap film is 100 nanometres thick and has index of refraction same as that of water which is 1.333 and the question is asking that which wavelength of light will experience constructive interference. So, which color will we see in other words. So, we have reflection of this interface between the air and water and because it's going from medium with low index of refraction 1.0 to medium with high index of refraction 1.333, this refraction will automatically cause a phase shift of half a wavelength, lambda over two and ray two on the other hand will be reflected off of this interface but its beginning in the medium with a high index and reflecting off of interface where the second medium is of low index of refraction, because this is air on the inside of the bubble and so there will no phase shift resulting from a reflection but there will be a phase shift due to the increased distance that this ray number two travels and so we will figure out an expression for that in a second. Now, down here we are going to see that the total phase shift has to equal some integer times the wavelength where m is one, two, three or so on and we are gonna solve for what this wavelength is. Now, let's figure out what the phase shift for ray two is. So, ray two is traveling along this hypotenuse of this triangle here and this right triangle is a special triangle because it has 45 degrees angles in here and we can draw that triangle and write down what the corresponding sides are. So, if this leg was one and this leg was one then the hypotenuse would be root two because it's the square root of the sum of the squares of each of the legs. You could instead put sine 45 to your calculator and multiply that by one of the legs and that would also give you the hypotenuse, that may give you 1.4, 14, whatever square root two is but I like to use this special triangle. So, we have a… we have this hypotenuse of length, thickness, times root two because this thickness is corresponding to this leg here and we multiply that whatever that is, we multiply it by root two to get the length of hypotenuse and then we are doing that twice because we are going once here and then once again back up. So, we have two root two times the thickness is the distance that the ray is traveling but what we want to know is the number of wavelengths it has traveled and so we divide this distance by the wavelength which is the wavelength in the medium, so I have a subscript 'n' there to say the wavelength in the soap film and lambda n is the wavelength in a vacuum or air divided by the index of refraction and so when dividing by lambda over n, we are gonna instead multiply by the reciprocal of that which is n over lambda. So, we have this number of wavelengths and then we multiply by the number of nanometres per wavelength to get the number of nanometres of phase shift of the ray two and that's gonna be two root two times the thickness times the index of refraction of the soap film. So, the total phase shift is gonna be sum of the phase shifts of waves one and two. So, that's lambda over two plus two root two, thickness times index of refraction equals some integer times lambda for constructive interference. Then we multiply both sides by two to get rid of the fraction. So, we have lambda plus four root two, t n equals two m lambda and then I'll subtract lambda from both sides and then switch the sides around to have the unknown lambda on the left and then we get this line here and we will factor out the common factor lambda. So, we have lambda bracket two times this integer m minus one equals four root two t n and then divide both sides by two m minus one and we get to the wavelength which will experience constructive interference is four root two t n over two m minus one. Now, we can choose what m is and we can see if the result is visible color. So, let's start with number one and so we have four root two times 100 nanometres thickness times index of refraction of the soap which is 1.333 divided by two times one minus one which gives 754 nanometres, and this is a visible wavelength. It's a color red and so this film will appear red when viewed at an angle of 45 degrees.

Trimming the artichokes for this recipe takes a bit of skill but gets easier with each one. Once you have mastered the technique, you'll find this dish is actually quite simple.
Active time: 25 min Start to finish: 1 hr
- Yield
- Makes 4 servings
- 5 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (from about 2 lemons), reserving juiced lemons
- 4 large artichokes with stems attached (10 to 12 oz each)
- 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 (1/2-inch-thick) red snapper fillets with skin (6 oz each)
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon
- Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 425°F.
- Stir 2 tablespoons lemon juice into a large bowl half filled with cool water, then drop in juiced lemons. Cut 1 inch off top of 1 artichoke with a knife. Bend back outer leaves until they snap off close to base, then discard several more layers of leaves in same manner until you reach pale yellow leaves with pale green tips. (Dip artichoke in lemon water occasionally to limit discoloration.)
- Cut remaining leaves flush with top of artichoke bottom using a sharp knife, then remove choke by pulling out purple leaves and scraping out fuzzy layer with a spoon or melon-ball cutter. Trim 1/4 inch from end of stem, then trim base and side of stem with a vegetable peeler or sharp knife. Drop artichoke into lemon water. Trim remaining 3 artichokes in same manner.
- Drain artichokes, pat dry, and cut each into 6 wedges. Arrange artichokes in 1 layer in a 13- by 9-inch glass or ceramic baking dish. Stir together 3 tablespoons oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper in a small bowl and pour over artichokes, turning to coat. Cover dish with foil and roast, turning artichokes over once or twice, until just tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Leave oven on.
- While artichokes are roasting, rub fish with 1 tablespoon oil and sprinkle all over with 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Remove foil from baking dish and arrange fillets, skin sides up, in 1 layer on top of artichokes. Roast, uncovered, until fillets are just cooked through, about 9 minutes. Divide fish and artichokes among 4 plates using a spatula, reserving pan juices. Stir together remaining 2 tablespoons oil, remaining tablespoon lemon juice, tarragon, and reserved pan juices and drizzle over fish.
Cooks' note:
Artichokes can be trimmed 1 day ahead and chilled in lemon water, covered.

Any proposed development must be truly sustainable – environmentally, economically and socially. It has to give the people in the town the services, jobs and housing they need. It has to be part of Lewes, and in tune with Lewes, nothing from a standard plan. We're starting to think about our ideas on regeneration now – and we need the people of the town to help shape them.
The future of Lewes District as a whole is planned up to 2030. The Joint Core Strategy has been approved by both Lewes District Council and the South Downs National Park. The details are here.
North Street Quarter is part of the specific policy for Lewes Town Centre with an allocation for mixed use development and around 350 homes, a further 300 homes are allocated in the town, to be found on presently unidentified sites in Lewes within the plan period.
Any future plans for North Street Quarter will need to follow the principles that have been set out in the core strategy, and debate needs to take place around how those principles are turned into reality, ensuring the detail of the development is viable and deliverable.
When you consider the site, it's in a perfect location, right next to the Town Centre, with the river and Downs around. The River, which has fed and threatened the town for centuries, and caused so much grief, can now be made into a great, well-controlled opportunity for the town, its residents, and its visitors – this site could be so much more.

By champagnediscovery, Apr 17 2020 03:52PM
The 2020 edition of Champagne Week, or to give it its formal title "Le printemps des champagnes" has of course been cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic. For Gita and I, the week is the highlight of our year and the first period of leave we book from work. We love having the opportunity to catch up with vignerons whom we have come to know over the years to chat all things wine and often more. The chance to discover new (to us) faces and wines is also exciting – the week always throws up some great moments and surprises. Along the way, we have made friends with fellow visitors and will dearly miss meeting up with them; in particular enjoying late evenings eating and drinking the odd bottle of champagne or two at our favourite spots. In short, there is so much we will miss.
As a result, we have decided to celebrate Champagne Week chez nous. The idea is to unite with fellow champagne lovers all over the World thanks to social media and to share a bottle or two. Ultimately to connect the best we can and to thank the many amazing winemakers of Champagne who continually help to give us happiness and pleasure in these uncertain times. For this reason we have set up the Facebook group "Le printemps virtuel des champagnes 2020".
Our idea is to select a bottle (at the very least) from one of the tasting salons on each day and share it via the Facebook group or other platforms. Tag the winemaker to show your appreciation of their efforts and to let everyone know what a great champagne you are enjoying.
The calendar:
Friday 17th: Les Fa'Bulleuses.
Saturday 18th: Grands Champagnes, Meunier Institut, Les Pépites des Independants, Secraie des Vignerons du Sézannais.
Sunday 19th: Bulles Bio, Champagne Terroirs etc, Empreintes Côte des Bar, La Transmission, Les Mains du Terroir, Passion Chardonnay.
Monday 20th: Club Trésors, Des Pieds et des Vins, Génération Champagne, Le Cercle des Créateurs, Origines Champagne, Terres et Vins de Champagne, Verzenay Grand Cru de Champagne.
Tuesday 21st: Académie du Vin de Bouzy, Champagne for You, Grands Cru d'Exception de Champagne, La Route du Champagne, Les Artisans du Champagne.
Wednesday 22nd: Dégustation Panoramique aux Riceys, Grands Champagnes.
We look forward to sharing a bottle with you and to see what you are drinking. With love and best wishes - keep healthy and drink champagne!
*Our week of champagnes can now be viewed in Champagne of the Month*

An introduction to the new phase of LED
Nowadays, human's life is entirely dependent on Internet. The most famous telecommunication broadband system used is Wi-Fi. But, it has various disadvantages. The typically faced problem now-a-days is that, Wi-Fi get easily hacked. This is because it works through long ranged Radio waves so ; we have been introduced to the new revolution of data transmission that is Li-Fi. It was first proposed by a renowned German physicist, Dr.Harald Haas coined the term Li-Fi in 2011 at TED global talks. He presented a HD video of a blooming flower that was projected on a screen. LED's which are not interconnected to one another are the basis of data transmission in Li-Fi. It doesn't work through radio waves but through visible light spectrum. The spectrum of these rays is 1000 times massive than radio waves.
NEED FOR Li-Fi
In earlier times, we had wired cables for internet connectivity which used to take couple of minutes for transmission of data. Then we turned our transmittivity by using Ethernet which was unfortunately non portable. Then we switched to Wi-Fi and it had been very useful in our daily routine. But as everything has cons, even Wi-Fi had. It is easily hacked, transmission is not too fast. It also gets disrupted if the access point changes. Unfortunately, Wi-Fi could not even be used in sensitized area to people like hospital, aircrafts. So now, the world has change with Li-Fi. It is Bidirectional transmission medium. Li-Fi is based on Visible Light Spectrum (VLC), the spectrum of which has an overwhelming width of 10,000 times larger than Radio waves. In local area, the data transmitted through Li-Fi occurs with the speed of 224Gbps. Li-Fi uses Light Emitting Diode (LED) which is cheaply available over huge area. Li-Fi is the complementary to the Traditional Wireless Communication.
Working of Li-Fi
Li-Fi is a Bidirectional, High speed, fully networked and Wireless Communication. Due to constant supply of current LED glow and if we vary constant current LED start Flickering. The Flickering of LED is used in Li-Fi .If no current is flowing LED will not glow and this will be transferred as a zero to the photo detector. Similarly, when the maximum current is flowing through LED, LED will glow and this will be transferred as one to the receiver or photo detector. So, in this way we can transmit the data in the form of 1 ; 0 to the receiver. If the flickering of LED happens million times per second, so the flickering will not be seen by our naked eye. The data which is coming from web server or internet will go to modem which will provide necessary modulation to the incoming data stream then this data stream will be transferred to the LED driver which changes the Driving current for the LED bulb according to the incoming streaming data. The streaming data will be transferred at the LED bulb which will give the output as 1 ; 0. This 1 ; 0 will be received by photo receiver. The optical received data is first converted into electrical signal using photo receiver or photo diode and after signal conditioning this data is fed to the computer or laptop or internet demanding gadget. So, to receive the data at the receiver side we require Li-If dongle which consist of a photo receiver and IR transmitter. The Infrared transmitter can be used to transfer the uplink data back to the LED source.

Li-Fi V/S Wi-Fi
Security: Li-Fi is unaccustomed as compared to Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi connection can easily be hacked but that is not possible with Li-Fi.
Data Transmission Rate: Li-Fi's data transmission rate is very high as compared to that of Li-Fi's. This is because Wi-Fi works through radio waves and not through visible light.
Range: Li-Fi provides short ranged visible light whereas Wi-Fi provides longer range radio waves.
Traffic Control: In Li-Fi, traffic control is more as compared to Wi-Fi's.
License Requirement: No License is required for the use of Li-Fi's unlike of Wi-FI's.
Cost of Installation: As everything has cons, Installation charges of Li-Fi are greater than Wi-Fi.
Working Concept: Wi-Fi Works through formation of Topologies. On the other hand, Li-Fi works by direct binary data.
Li-Fi introduces us to a new world formation with unprecedented data and bandwidth. Also, a world where every LED acts as an access point for internet connection. Li-Fi leads to a new epoch of 5g and 6g. Though it has a few disadvantages, it leads to the epic advancement of the new generations.
