Dr. Sergii Skakun and Dr. Christopher Justice along with collaborators at both Space Research Institute NAS Ukraine and SSA Ukraine and Institute of Physics and Technology, National Technical University of Ukraine "Kyiv Polytechnic Institute" (Dr. Nataliia Kussul, Dr. Andrii Shelestov, and Dr. Mykola Lavreniuk) published their work on the use of satellite data to reveal cropland losses under military conflict in Ukraine.
While people are aware that there is a continuing conflict in Ukraine, there is little understanding of its impact. The military conflict in South-Eastern Ukraine has been on-going since 2014, with a major socio-economic impact on the Donetsk and Luhansk regions. In this study, we quantify land cover land use changes in those regions related to cropland changes. Cropland areas account for almost 50% of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, and with the declining industry between 2014 and 2017, the role of agriculture to the regional economy has increased. We use freely available satellite data and machine learning methods to map cropland extent in 2013 and 2018 and derive corresponding changes in cropland areas. We use a multi-layer perceptron (MLP) to classify multi-temporal Landsat-7, Landsat-8, and Sentinel-2 images into cropland and non-cropland areas, and a sampling-based approach to estimate the areas of cropland change. We found that net cropland losses were not uniform across the regions, and were more substantial in the areas not under control of the Ukrainian Government (22% of net cropland area loss compared to cropland areas in 2013) and within a buffer zone along the conflict border line (46%), where combat activities occur. These results highlight the impact of the conflict on agriculture and the utility of spatially explicit information acquired from Earth observation satellites, especially for areas, where collecting ground-based data is impractical.

One quiet evening sitting at home, while resting my eyes on the bookshelves lined with aged mountain-guidebooks, one particular book caught my eye. In a flash I was sent back in time, more than 20, even 30 years ago to an age when the world we were living in was full of endless possibilities… Scanning through the worn pages I found myself again walking the now-forgotten pathways of Poiana Ruscă Mountains depicted in those very pages. Long lost trails that marked the beginnings of the many mountain paths I was to explore and lead later on…
Over the years we have been blessed to feast our eyes on the grandest and most spectacular of all mountains, from the mighty Himalayas to the single-standing Kilimanjaro, from the harsh Andes to the bewildering Alps. However, we've found that when the heart and mind are in perfect stillness and peace, the timeless beauty of Nature can be enjoyed even close to home, in the very mountains that daily shape our distant horizons.
As autumn, with its rusty colors begins to set in, we decided to dust the sand of time from the aged trails of the nearby Poiana Ruscă Mountains, exploring some of its once so familiar paths. This time on two wheels 😉
Not long ago we traversed the Parâng Mountains via the Transalpina Road, so we decided to replicate the challenge this time traversing the Poiana Ruscă Mountains from East to West. We've heard there's a new tarmac road snaking up the mountain with hairpin turns dubbed "Banat's Transalpina", and we were aiming to couple it with the old road that traversed the mountain.
Trying to find where this new road lays, we weren't really able to locate it on any mapping system, so we assumed it's going to be on our way. However, "Banat's Transalpina" proved to be more allusive, and we've easily missed it, taking instead one of the many old forest roads. Nowadays Poiana Ruscă's mountain trails get very little attention from tourists, leaving its solitary and unspoiled pathways almost all to ourselves. We chose a dirt road gently climbing through thick forests along Bega Luncanilor River, which eventually turned a little steeper as it neared the mountain ridge we aimed to cross. A road junction at Tăul Ursului, close to Padeș Peak (1374m), marks the beginning of a steep descent. As we near Rușchița Quarry, the road turns to white marble powder shimmering in the sunlight. Resembling a Mesopotamian ziggurat,Rușchița's impressive marble quarry with its giant marble blocks stands out visibly in the mountainside. From here downwards life on the valley is shaped by the marble quarried higher up, the road being lined with countless marble workshops and warehouses. A few more kilometers of almost flat cycling and we successfully completed our traverse of Poiana Ruscă Mountains.
"Banat's Transalpina" had been tantalizingly close. Once back home, we made further research into this allusive road's exact location. Fast forward a few weeks later, and we were back at the foothills of the same Poiana Ruscă Mountains, this time with our homework done and determined to pedal up "Banat's Transalpina". Actually, this pretty steep road is better known locally by the names "Transluncani" or "Transoboare", as it starts on the old "oboare" road inconspicuously marked in the main intersection in Luncanii de jos village.
Less than a kilometer from this intersection, the gently climbing road brings us in front of a steep hillside rising like a tall wall directly in front of us, with a fresh tarmac road snaking up abruptly on its side. A 20% road inclination sign welcomes us to the "Transluncani", and for the next kilometers we will be relentlessly biking up slopes of 10 – 23% inclination cut through refreshing birch tree forests with a splendid panorama over Poiana Ruscă's thickly forested mountainscape.
We were hoping "Transluncani" road would lead up to Tăul Ursului. However, upon reaching the highest point on "Transluncani" we found ourselves nowhere near our desired destination. A 23% road inclination warning sign marked the beginning of a pretty steep descent, shortly after the tarmac abruptly ending in a dirt forest road junction, apparently lost in the middle of nowhere. Tăul Ursului lay somewhere higher up the dirt road, following some yet waiting to be explored forgotten trails. For now, we decided to take the descending road cut through shady forests and return to Luncanii de jos village, thus closing a complete circuit.
Looking on the map after these two rides, it became obvious Poiana Ruscă Mountains still have countless forest roads just waiting to be explored, be it on two wheels or… on two feet 🙂Tags: cycling, poiana, rusca, transluncani

At times we require the actual Client IP to be logged in Apigee layer before request reaches backend.
This gets hidden is we are using ELB as the X-Forwarded-For header shows ELB internal IP.
Below are the three ways to get actual client IP:
1) Update the ELB config to listen on the SSL protocol instead of TCP
We can use below doc to achieve the same:
2) Setting up https till ELB and then plain http between ELB and router
3) Removing ELB from the picture and sending requests directly to the router.
Below is the flow of above three options:
1) Client ------( https ) ----- > ELB -----(https)----> router
2) Client-----(https) ----> ELB -----(http) ----> router ( Cavaet : Traffic between ELB and router is http)
3) Client -----(https) -----> Routers
Eventually all the ELBs will be removed and requests will be sent directly to routers.
But if we are still using ELBs then we can go with first two options to get actual client IP.

Nokia unveiled a new email service for its Nokia Series 40 handset users today. Series 40 handset users can sign up for free email accounts on its Ovi internet service center. Undoubtedly giving a free new email account is no longer an effective marketing strategy to create that "wow" factor amongst consumers nowadays. However, Nokia believes this new free email service for mobile users can still attract consumers from emerging markets especially developing countries. Nokia does not focus on pushing this service to the world's more advanced mobile users but targets buyers from this market segment by providing the free service. Nokia believes, a free email from Mail On Ovi could be the first email account for many of these consumers.
Nokia Series 40 handset owners can sign-up for their free email account directly with Mail on Ovi from their handsets. Mail on Ovi Live offers 12 languages for users to choose from, e.g. English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Hindi, Bengali, Tagalog, Bahasa Indonesia, Bahasa Malaysia and others. Currently there are more than 110 million Series 40 handsets sold worldwide. Users who are using Nokia Series 40 handsets such as Nokia 5610 XpressMusic, Nokia 5310 XpressMusic, 6260, 6600 slide, 7310, and 8800, etc can sign up with Mail on Ovi Live to get a free email account effective today.

We've built a new type of Mental Health Service, and it's just for Students; here's why.
There is much to learn from technology companies, and of how they have used innovation to reduce life's burdens. Unfortunately, in digital health, there is too often a tendency to simply cut and paste into an app what happens offline, and the problems in our health services remain embedded in digital solutions. Somehow, we have failed to embrace the principle of the 'hack', of taking a problem and investigating how we could build solutions afresh. And when it comes to problems, the NHS has finally realised that it is failing badly one particular group: students. Over the last decade there has been a 6–7x increase in students disclosing a mental health condition, and even if some of this is down to a reduction in stigma, and then a greater ability to report problems, it is massively concerning. Student services are now overwhelmed by the demands, and students themselves report the stress of waiting for a referral for support, and the very long waiting times for psychological therapy. The therapies available though University Services have historically been brief, and if more is needed, a referral to the local adult mental health services may involve yet more delay.
Students present a specific challenge to health services; they are a highly mobile population and at some of our greatest Universities they are almost exactly 50% of the year at University and 50% of the time at home or elsewhere. A young person with a mental health condition, who has received help from services at home, may not know where to turn for support on starting university. Their home service may also not know how to advise them. They will have to register with a new GP, and it may take some time for their health records to reach the new GP, and of course some records even get lost along the way. They then have to repeat any traumatic history to new professionals, and repeatedly. If offered therapy, it is not so unusual for the first appointment to be offered just before the end of term, as they then return home for many weeks. Local budgets, policies and procedures may play their part, but it is agonising to witness that the suicides of some students may have been prevented by better communications and integration of care.
All of this would be hugely challenging to anyone with a settled life, a fixed home, income and supportive relationships. Yet students heading off to university have just left the stability of school, are now leaving home, and are saying goodbye to friends who are going to other universities. They then move into a new residence, ratchet up their skills in the management of money and self-care, and meet a whole group of new people who are similarly unsettled. In addition, some will have travelled to a new country and lose the comforts of a mother tongue for expressing themselves.
So, the problem is clear; a population of gifted young people, of great potential, face the enormous stress of multiple life changes, whilst discontinuities in our health services means that getting any support will be slow, if at all. For students, the impact of so many transitions can be overwhelming, especially for the mind, and even knowing what now is normal, not easy to work out. The specificity of these stresses and opportunities warrants dedicated support; even the NHS now recognises that students are an atypical (not my word!) population and need something more specific to their time of life.
It is not hard to see how digital technologies could help with much of this, as support is less tied to where you are, or even what time of day it is. But there is a further element to consider in our search for the 'hack' or solution. In a ground-breaking study from Victoria Rideout and Susannah Fox in the US (https://www.hopelab.org/reports/pdf/a-national-survey-by-hopelab-and-well-being-trust-2018.pdf), there was confirmation (if it were needed) that young people make use of online resources to support their mental well-being. Seeking support from health peers occurred in 39% of all 14–22 year olds, of which 91% said it was 'at least somewhat helpful', and 20% said it was 'very helpful'. "Youth lead the way in the social revolution that is underway in health," the authors write, "indicating that…almost twice as many young people as adults in the US turn to each other for advice in making health decisions."
The final part of our solution may be obvious, but still relatively scarce in digital health; young people will use their smartphone for almost everything and expect a rich user experience. Digital health services should align themselves with the developments of the digital world, and a good user experience is vital to success.
So, taking all of this into consideration we have built something that at least starts to solve many of the problems outlined above.
I would now like to introduce you to the TalkCampus mental support service for students. It is itself an evolution of the hugely popular TalkLife App.
It's features at launch include:
· A mobile optimised service, with a user experience familiar to those who use messaging apps.
· A culture of support from 'health peers'.
· 'Safety by design' safeguarding.
· Sophisticated machine learning to identify, support and escalate anyone at risk.
· Trained volunteers who enhance the peer support.
· Personalised recommendations of the support available at your University.
· Notifications to University support Services of those needing more support.
· 24/7 support whether you are at home or University, over the lifetime of your course; no brief measures.
· An advisory board on global mental health experts to advise on strategy
· A world class research programme to continuously improve the support available.
The introduction of the smartphone means that help is now (literally) at hand, whatever your needs, whenever you need it and wherever you are. You no longer need to find an up to date directory of what is available and you can hear from 'people like me' what helped. There are no more cliff edges between home and University, or holes between services to fall through. TalkCampus can accompany you on one of the most amazing journeys of your life.
We will all do better, when our amazing students are supported in reaching their potential, and become the people our world wants and needs.
Big Shout-out to Anne Collier of Net Family News (https://www.netfamilynews.org/) for sharing the Rideout & Fox research on peer support!

Medical school acceptance letters come with the joy and excitement of accomplishing
a long-term goal and, oftentimes, feelings of nervousness or anxiety associated with
the upcoming changes and challenges involved in transitioning to medical student life.
Although these concerns are valid, my first 2 years of medical school have resolved
these initial worries.
Yes! Attending classes and studying does consume a substantial portion of my schedule,
but there is still plenty of time to live your life. I have been able to continue
several of my pre–medical school hobbies and even managed to pick up some new
ones introduced to me by peers. It is very doable for me to maintain a workout routine,
cook all of my meals, participate in student organizations, volunteer in the local
community, and still binge Netflix. I have also taken advantage of the opportunity
to explore a new part of the country. Giving time to non–academic-related activities
has been incredibly beneficial to my own wellness and health. We have an entire career
in medicine awaiting us, and I would argue that the journey of medical training is
as important as the end goal if not more so. Prioritizing the balance between school
and life has made my experience incredibly fulfilling thus far. Most students I have
encountered have been able to find the balance that best suits them and make it work
with their study schedule.
It is very common for medical students to start school without a strong interest in
a particular area of medicine. I would encourage even those with a determined direction
to explore all the opportunities available. Joining my school's internal medicine
interest group was greatly helpful in gaining exposure to the various subspecialties
in internal medicine and meeting physicians who work in these diverse fields. I serve
as the group's chair of allergy and immunology; however, as part of the larger organization,
I have attended panel discussions that hosted cardiologists, pulmonologists, gastroenterologists,
endocrinologists, nephrologists, and infectious disease doctors. In terms of determining
which area of medicine you want to pursue, I would advise students to focus less on
specific specialties and instead explore what characteristics best suit you. How much
do you value patient interaction or longitudinal care? Do you want to involve procedural
aspects? Would you rather see a different case every 15 minutes or dedicate consecutive
hours to solving the problem at hand? For students entering medical school, there
is plenty of time to decide your future career path; in the meantime, be sure to learn
about and appreciate what each specialty has to offer.
From what I have observed in my first 2 years, undergraduate GPAs and MCAT scores
have minimal correlation with exam grades in medical school. I was concerned that
my subpar college grades might predispose me to struggle academically in medical school,
but that worry has been assuaged. Some of the brightest members of my class were accepted
off the waitlist or had below average metrics. I feel that once accepted to medical
school, students are on an equal playing field, each with their own strengths to contribute
to the class identity. I would advise new students to consider the start of medical
school like a clean academic slate. Do not doubt yourself or your abilities to excel
in medical school simply because of past academic performances.
I completed my undergraduate education and my gap year in my home state. Moving partway
across the country for medical school was equally exciting and anxiety inducing. So
many of my peers stressed the importance of having a support network nearby that I
wondered whether moving away was a good plan. Upon starting school, I found that many
students were in a similar situation. Soon, connections were made and our student
community took form. My colleagues and classmates have become my support network away
from home, and they often understand medical school–related experiences better
than friends or family who are less familiar with our daily lives. Moving to a new
setting for medical school encouraged me to be more outgoing and involved. In addition,
I now have ties to two geographic areas for when I apply to residency!
I feel that the difficultly of medical school was overhyped before matriculating.
Do not be intimidated by horror stories that abound on Internet blogs and online threads.
There are elements of medical training that are undeniably difficult and times that
you will be pushed to your limits. But you would not have been admitted if the committee
did not firmly believe you were capable of succeeding. I think the increased challenge
magnifies the rewarding aspects of attending medical school. Many times, I would find
myself sitting in undergraduate lectures wondering, "When will I ever use this?"
In medical school, everything you learn is useful and practical, and this makes studying
much more worth it. Most students would not describe medical school as easy by any
means, but it is the hard work and time dedicated that make learning medicine so deeply

Summer vacations allow us to unwind, see new things, and even meet new people. As you plan your vacation, it is important to think how you are going to pay for it. With more Americans traveling overseas, you'll need to plan for currency exchange and whether your credit cards will work in a foreign country. This post will sort out the facts of foreign travel and will hopefully prepare you for a stress-free vacation.
Foreign Exchange
I have traveled to various countries and continents around the world and my approach to money has changed dramatically. Years ago I used to go to my local bank and get all of the cash I thought I needed, in the local currency. If I were to visit multiple countries I would have to estimate the cash needed for each country. Before the Euro, I had to carry marks, pounds, and francs at the same time. If I ran out before I left the country, then I had to navigate the local currency exchange (often with a hefty fee) or the local banking system. This system was clumsy at best.
The Miracle of ATMs
The first time I used an ATM in a foreign country was in a dark alley in Dublin. I was totally amazed when the screen flashed my name and asked me the nature of my transaction. I knew then that technology was totally awesome. I was in a foreign country far from home, yet the machine knew who I was and gave me money in local currency after determining I had that money in my account. The system, the networking, and the applications all had to work together to make this magic. That was the last time I visited a currency exchange at my bank, the airport, or a train station. I was hooked.
Who Carries Cash?
Fast-forward to today and I rarely carry cash. With the worldwide network of credit card and debit card receiving terminals there is no need to carry large sums of cash. I usually get enough cash at the foreign airport ATM to pay the taxi driver and for small purchases, but outside of that I rely on my credit and debit cards. For foreign travel though, that brings up the question of whether the American issued credit card will work. Possibly not.
Chip and PIN vs. Chip and Signature vs. Magnetic Swipe
Many countries, including those in Europe and Asia, adhere to the EMV (Europay, Mastercard, Visa) standard of electronic transactions. This requires a chip and PIN type card, but many still accept chip and signature and possibly, but not necessarily, the old magnetic swipe cards. A chip and PIN system requires a PIN number to unlock the information embedded in the card. A chip and signature terminal can decode the information on the chip but does not ask for a PIN number and requires a live signature instead. The magnetic swipe has the user information embedded on the magnetic strip and requires a swipe and a signature. The newer cards being issued in America generally are the chip and signature variety. While it is a step in the right direction towards EMV standards, it is only a half measure and may not always work abroad. Consider the situation of needing to purchase a train ticket from a kiosk in Vienna in the middle of the night. That kiosk has no way to collect your signature so you could be spending a cold night in the station while waiting for the ticket office to open in the morning.
What About RFID?
One of the concerns about travel is rogue Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) scanners. Some credit cards have embedded RFID with credit card information. All U.S. passports since 2007 also have an embedded RFID chip. To be clear, this is not the same thing as the chip in a chip and PIN or chip and signature card. Popular RFID credit cards are Visa PayWave, MasterCard PayPass, American Express ExpressPay, and Discover Zip, and they generally carry a symbol of four wavy lines. You will find the same chip in many electronic lock systems. The advantage of these is that you can bump the card against or near the transaction scanner without having to remove it from your wallet. The disadvantage is that others with a scanner close enough to you, generally two feet, can also read and copy your information. There are a lot of solutions for blocking that data collection, from special wallets to Tyvek and aluminum card sleeves. My favorite is the homemade duct tape wallet with built in RFID block (tin foil). Before you invest in anything, make sure that your card even has an RFID embedded chip. I believe that with the advent of electronic pay systems such as Apple Pay and Android Pay, these cards will fade from use, as will the security concerns.
These are some things to think about as you plan your travels this summer. The world is a big place but it is becoming smaller through technology. Just when you think you may be in unchartered territory you will be surprised, as I was years ago when I walked into the terminal at the Frankfurt airport and was greeted by a big sign that said "American Express Welcomes You To Frankfurt." They obviously got there before me.
I hope you will share your travel experiences this summer and any tips that you have to make the process uneventful so that you can fully enjoy the experience.

"One in four premature babies 'faces the risk of autism'," reports the Daily Mail today. The Daily Express also covers the story, saying that those who are the smallest at birth are the most vulnerable. Both newspapers go on to say that this could explain the rise in the number of children with autism in recent years. They add that the estimated amount of children with autism has risen concurrently with the numbers of babies born prematurely who survive into adulthood and attribute these higher survival rates to advances in medicine. The Daily Mail also says there are more preterm births as there is a "trend for older women, for whom premature babies are more likely, to give birth".
This story is based on a study of ill, premature babies. It showed that of the 91 toddlers (aged between 18 and 24 months) 23 (26%) had social and behavioural dysfunctions that were similar to those seen with autistic spectrum disorders. It is worth noting that the researchers did not perform any actual autism diagnoses.
The babies in this study were a high-risk group who had been selected using specific criteria, so these results are not generally applicable to the wider population of preterm infants. This, in addition to the fact that the researchers were screening for autism and not diagnosing it, means that more research is needed before we can understand the true level of risk associated with prematurity. The majority of women who have preterm babies have a healthy, happy pregnancy and birth. This research does not change that picture.
Where did the story come from?
Dr Catherine Limperopoulos and colleagues from McGill University and Harvard Medical School, Boston carried out the research. The study was funded by a grant from the National Institutes of Health. It was published in Paediatrics, a peer-reviewed medical journal.
What kind of scientific study was this?
The study was a retrospective cohort study that aimed to screen preterm babies for early autistic features and to identify the clinical risk factors associated with a positive screening result. The babies included in the research were originally part of a previously published study by some of the same authors.
From the original research, 103 preterm babies who weighed less than 1500g at birth were selected for possible inclusion in this study. The babies had no chromosomal disorders, known impairments or obvious physical problems. By the time of the second study, some of these babies had died or the parents could not be reached. In total, 91 toddlers aged between 18 and 24 months were included in a round of standardised developmental outcome testing.
The babies were not a healthy population. A third showed evidence of chorioamnionitis and the group had a high average SNAP-II score (which indicates poor health after birth). The follow up tests for the toddlers included the Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers (M-CHAT). This is a 23-point, yes/no questionnaire completed by parents. It assesses sensory responsiveness (reaction to sound and touch), early language and communication, social relatedness (imitating parents) and whether the infant can follow a pointed finger to an object across the room.
Other questionnaires at follow up included the Child Behaviour Checklist and the Vineland Adaptive Behaviour Scale. Information about their demographics and medical history, including maternal data, were collected through reviewing medical charts.
As part of the original study, the babies were given an MRI scan before they were discharged from the intensive care unit.
The people who carried out the tests were unaware of the child's medical history and their MRI findings. When they had all the information, the researchers used statistical techniques to compare those babies who had positive screening tests for autism with those who did not. They did the same with measures of functioning and motor skills.
What were the results of the study?
Of the 91 toddlers who had been born prematurely, 23 (26%) had positive autism screening scores. Twenty nine per cent of toddlers had functional delays in motor abilities, 19% had delayed daily living skills and 23% had communication problems.
Further analysis revealed that gestational age, birth weight, male gender, placental inflammation (chorioamnionitis) and severity of illness on admission were all associated with abnormal M-CHAT scores. There was no association between abnormal MRI and M-CHAT scores.
What interpretations did the researchers draw from these results?
The researchers conclude that their study has described a high prevalence of features of autistic spectrum disorders among "survivors of extremely premature birth".
What does the NHS Knowledge Service make of this study?
This cohort study provides evidence that toddlers who are born prematurely experience some developmental delays and other impairments that may be similar to those seen with autism spectrum disorders. There are three major points to keep in mind when interpreting these results:
- The researchers do not diagnose the babies as having autism. The study found that premature babies were at higher risk of having autism-like features, not autism itself. Further follow up of these children with tools that are used to diagnose autism (e.g. Autism Diagnostic Interview) is needed to see how many of them actually develop autism. The researchers say that the presence of developmental delay in their sample (which is expected in very preterm infants) may have contributed to the high prevalence of positive M-CHAT scores.
- The population of preterm babies in this study were a 'selected high-risk' group. As the researchers acknowledge, their findings may not apply to healthier preterm populations.
- The researchers say that because the M-CHAT is designed primarily for screening toddlers at about 18 months of age, the use in an 'older' sample here may not be appropriate. They add: "It is possible that the sociobehavioural deficits identified in this study are transient or, conversely, may emerge or increase over time."
Overall, this descriptive study provides little information that can be generalised to the wider population. It is unclear how positive screen tests in a high-risk population translate into actual diagnoses of autism. Early identification of autism is an important area, but further studies are needed to evaluate the risk of autism in all preterm babies and to decide which screening tests or tools are likely to be the best predictors of a diagnosis of autism.

Algeria's army chief has withdrawn support for embattled president Abdelaziz Bouteflika.
Ahmed Gaid Salah, a long-time ally, has called for his dismissal under a part of the constitution that allows for a head of state to be removed if they are seriously unwell and unable to carry out their functions.
Bouteflika had a stroke five years ago and is rarely seen in public.
He dropped plans to run for a fifth presidential term in the face of widespread protests.
But he remained in office and demonstrations have resumed.
Gaid Salah, speaking on Tuesday, praised the maturity of Algerians and their peaceful protests.
"In order to protect our country from any hazardous situation, everybody needs to show selflessness and to take into consideration the higher interests of our home country in order to find an immediate solution to this crisis," he said.
"A solution in accordance to the constitution that is the only guarantee of a stable situation.
"In this regard, we urge and have to adopt a solution that guarantees a crisis exit and responds to the legitimate demands of the Algerian people.

Aeon Timeline 1.0.6 has just been released and is available for download here:
View the full change log below. There is some good new stuff in there as well as bug fixes.
As part of the release for version 1.0.6, there are now two example timelines that come as part of the application. When you launch version 1.0.6 of the application, you will be able to select and view the Example Timelines from the Welcome Screen.
I have also created a video screencast that walks through the larger of the two examples, a timeline based on Agatha Christie's Murder on the Orient Express.
If you can stand my shoddy Australian accent for long enough, you can watch the video tutorial here:
That video provides a good overview of how you might structure a larger project, and use filters and other features to break a large project down into component pieces.
Aeon Timeline has had its first review. It's very positive, so I am posting a link here to gloat.

There's a huge difference between the actual act of being passionately in love and the infatuation of having a great sex life which most persons do confuse as the main ingredient that defines love and a healthy relationship. You should begin to check your relationship when the only passionate and intimate time your partner spends with you is only when making love to you.
Signs showing your partner is interested in sex only, not love
- It doesn't matter whether you are in the mood or not, you must have sex with your partner
When your partner can't listen to whatever you have to say to him or her, because of his urge for sex, even when clearly you are not in the mood for it. He just keeps insisting on having sex, then you should put on the brakes. Most times he cajoles you and even uses a little force on you until you succumb to his will and lust. Your partner just wants sex and not really in love with you.
You can consider it rape if he forces you to even when you are legally married to him. Respecting your feelings per time is a very crucial part of love and it is needed to sustain a healthy relationship.
- They have not been staying committed for long in past
In plain terms, if your partner consistent behavior towards your relationship isn't firm and his commitment in the union isn't serious either, then you do not need another proof of his love for you is just in your body and how great or exciting you are in bed.
Love isn't about sex but showing of respect and sharing about everything you have, your time, gifts, body and life in its totality. Sex is just a fraction of the things that make up your life.
- They are only interested in dirty talk
Great communication is another integral part of any healthy relationship but when each conversation is only geared towards sex, and the motive is to consummate in love making. Watch it the type of discussions if they are sexual and dirty and also if he is the only one excited while talking about it. If you do not flow with such conversation, and he keeps at it, then it is a clear signal that the talks represent a mere foreplay before sex and not for bonding you together.
- They are not comfortable in expressing their feelings
One major essence of being in a relationship is to have someone support and complement you and also to brings the right balance to your life. To be your strength when you are weak, to be the joy when you are sad, to ease the pain and become the pillar on whose strength you can lean on when your ship is sinking. But if your partner does not live up to these standards and is not even trying to measure up and be there for you. It all goes to show that your partner is only with you just to fulfill his or her sexual needs.
Your partner also should be able to show his weakness to you and trust you to pull through for him, but if it is only you that is showing your insecurity then things are surely not right. This is called emotional cheating.
- Your partner is always busy
Your partner should be proud of you to take you out to for picnic or dinner, to meet with his business colleagues or some other social functions. But if he doesn't take you out on purpose it shows that he doesn't really feel too great about you and is only interested in having you in his bed.
Also, if he forgets important dates in your life, and isn't genuinely remorseful by trying to make effort for forgetting those dates, it proves positive that he's only with you for the physical intimacy alone and not because he is in love with you.
- Your partner always wants to spend time with you alone
One beautiful thing about being in love is to make great memories together and create strong bonds that will help you stand the test of time. It is great going out on vacation together and walking down seashore just to chat and play together.
It is also nice just to stay at home and spend quality and intimate time together but when your partner does not like going out with you and he is just interested in romance and sex alone. It further proves that he is just with you because of sex.
Spending some quality time with your partner alone is intimate but if he doesn't like going out to the movies or dinners and just wants to be alone with you to be just for his erotic pleasure. It means he is with you just for sex and not love.
Each time your partner comes around and he doesn't spend any time to help you fix any problem or contribute meaningfully to your welfare and is just after you satisfying him in bed, then it is crystal clear that your partner is just with you for sex.

October 9th: Symposium "Video Instruction: Research-Transfer-Teaching"
On 8 and 9 October 2018, at IPN, a symposium on video instruction in science education will take place with participants from research, schools, and educational administration.
Video tutorials are important for informal, non-formal, and formal teaching and learning processes. From the perspective of science education, it is particularly important to clarify what contribution video instruction makes to learning science and which criteria characterize the effective use of videos in science teaching.
The aim of the symposium is to develop criteria for the effective use of video instruction in science teaching through a methodically structured and systematic approach (Delphi methodology).
The symposium takes place within the framework of the VisiBLe project (Design and implementation of video instruction in biology lessons as a part of teacher education) and is sponsored by the Joachim Herz Stiftung.

Wheat acreage in Louisiana is at an all-time low of 58,000 to 60,000 acres, LSU AgCenter experts said at the April 20th wheat and oat field day at AgCenter Macon Ridge Research Station.
Low prices, scab disease in 2015 and wet weather at planting are the reasons, said Boyd Padgett, AgCenter wheat specialist. In particular, scab disease "left a bad taste in growers' mouths."
Fusarium head blight – known as scab – caused about a yield loss of about 25 percent last year, said Trey Price, AgCenter plant pathologist. "It's been a tough year for wheat.
"We are screening varieties for scab resistance adapted to the Gulf South."
The research at the station is important, he said, because "we're going to need this information wheat comes back in Louisiana."
Wet weather in fall affected farmers' decisions about planting.
The planting window for wheat in Louisiana is mid-October to mid-November, said Steve Harrison, AgCenter small grains breeder.
Harrison walked through the plots and commented on each variety. Representatives from commercial seed companies that have varieties in the plots were given the opportunity to comment on their companies' varieties.
"It's important to think about planting date and heading date," Harrison said. For wheat plants to make seed requires vernalization, which is a period of about six weeks of 40-degree weather in Louisiana.
Harrison pointed out how vernalization was affected by a warmer-than-normal winter as he reviewed dozens of variety trials during the field day.
"Vernalization is important based on location. There are about 20 varieties planted here at Macon Ridge that I can't plant in my plots in Baton Rouge because it's much warmer there."
Planting date was also the topic for agronomist Rick Mascagni, who introduced a new research program looking at wheat production and later planting dates.
Mascagni's trial was started in fall 2015 using three wheat varieties of different maturities planted on three dates past the optimal planting time frame.
Although the results won't be available until after harvest in the spring, Mascagni said initial indications are that as planting was delayed, the differences in maturity narrowed.
Weed control and wheat yield can be optimized with fall herbicide applications, said Josh Copes, AgCenter research associate. Start with clean fields, using either paraquat or glyphosate at planting to control breakthrough weeds.
Soil acidity, or pH, is the top priority for wheat fertility programs, said Brenda Tubana, AgCenter soil scientist. "Fertilizer is 30 to 33 percent of the production costs for wheat. Use soil tests and timely applications."
Aphids are a problem in wheat early when weather is warmer, said Sebe Brown, AgCenter entomologist. They are a vector for barley yellow dwarf virus, which can be controlled by seed treatment.
"It takes a lot of aphids to require insecticide applications," Brown said.
Louisiana has no fly-free date for Hessian fly, and they produce four to six generations in a year.
"Resistance has given us a really good tool," Brown said. But use seed treatment if not using a resistant variety.
Because stink bugs migrate into wheat fields from other grasses, controlling grass weeds helps control stink bugs.
Armyworms also can infest wheat fields, Brown said. Growers need to scout early in the morning when the worms are active.
Pyrethroid insecticides are effective on stink bugs and armyworms, he said. The threshold for army worms is five worms per square foot.

Hey undergrads, grads, post-docs, and pre-tenure faculty at U.S. academic institutions! How can effective science communication win you a trip to San Francisco in August 2014?
So now that we've got your attention, what is the most important skill to catalyze yourself from the lab bench to a career? You need it to network with others here at #ACSDallas and beyond. You use it when you inspire the next generation of chemists in the classroom. And it's your best hire-able asset when interviewing for a job.
It's how you convert all those chemistry ideas and concepts in your brain into words, pictures, and insight that draw colleagues and collaborators. More importantly, it's how you explain chemistry to non-scientists who just might be your next source of funds, your boss, or friends and family that you want to tell what cool things you're discovering.
The American Chemical Society wants you to exceed that activation energy level when communicating chemistry. So we're launching Chemistry Champions, to help you develop and showcase your communication skills.
Starting on Twitter @AmerChemSociety as #chemchamps, we're rolling out communication tips and practice opportunities: try tweeting your research in six words or less as #6wordchemtalk. Under the Chemistry Ambassadors program, we'll soon spread to Facebook and YouTube as well. On April 10, you can see how to share chemical insight on a topic that the public is drawn to via http://acswebinars.org/cocktail-chemistry
Maybe you see yourself a celebrity science communicator one day with your own TV show? Maybe you'll have a recurring guest spot on The Big Bang Theory or host a feature doc like Neil deGrasse Tyson's #Cosmos sequel.
In May, undergrads, grads, post-docs, and pre-tenure faculty at U.S. academic institutions can enter to compete in the Chemistry Champions Contest: in a 2-3 min YouTube video explain your research (and why you should be The Chemistry Champion). With more details to come, semifinalists will fly and stay free in San Francisco during the ACS National Meeting; and the finals will be in front of a live public audience.
So check out #chemchamps and share your communications skill development. We look forward to reading, hearing, and seeing your catalytic presentations.
For those of you at #ACSDallas, check out the Chemistry Champions presentations at the ACS Theatre in the Expo hall: Sunday night 6:30 and 7:30pm; Monday at 9:30am, 1:30pm, and 3:30pm; and Tuesday at 11:30am and 1:30pm. You can also find out more at the Chemistry and the Environment Film Series – showing Trashed! – on Tuesday at 12pm in room D166 of the Convention Center.
And anyone reading this, share your research, be it

According to the NSE: (Thanks to @Prashant_Krish)
In pursuance of SEBI circular no. CIR/DNPD/6/2010 dated October 27, 2010 regarding
European Style Stock Options, circular no. 120 (Download no. 16165) dated October 28, 2010
regarding European Style Stock Options and in partial modification to consolidated circular no.
1136 (Download no. 16104) dated October 25, 2010 you are informed that all Stock Options
contracts expiring on January 27, 2011 and onwards shall have European exercise style only.
Accordingly there shall be no interim exercise available for all Stock Options contracts expiring on January 27, 2011 and onwards and all the in-the-money Stock Options contracts shall get automatically exercised on the expiry day.
All existing month Stock Options contracts expiring on November 25, 2010 and December 30,
2010 shall continue to have American exercise style.
Also read the SEBI circular.
Note: What follows is complex. Read Futures and Options: An introduction first, if you don't know about F&O .
American options can be exercised any day – and this was creating all sorts of problems. Stocks can be moved to ensure they close at a certain point between 3 and 3:30, options then exercised (the exercise window is open till 4:30?). So the seller of the option (who knows about the exercise only at 5PM) has now no way to cross-hedge – that is, if he held a future or a different option to hedge against exercise, he has no way to take the hedge off.
Complex example: Imagine I have sold a 1100 Reliance call, and am long a Reliance Future to hedge. Reliance goes to 1140, and at 5PM I am told that my call was exercised. At 6 PM there is some adverse news on Reliance, and the next day it opens at 1090. I lost Rs. 50 right there, without even a chance to work things out.
Another problem – options are exercised against the stock, but if you hold a future to hedge, the future can quote at a discount, which ruins the hedging. If Reliance closed at 1140 but the future was at 1120, an interim exercise makes me lose 20 points. (Yes, you could hold the stock, but then how do you hedge against writing a put option?)
In America, you can deliver a stock against the exercise, so the minute you get exercised on a call, your stock is taken away, so you don't have the above issue. In India, options are cash settled.
European options mean that you can write options and stay at peace without worrying about exercise. A huge positive: covered call strategies will be that much easier, as the stock can be used for margin now, and you don't have to worry about an interim exercise.
Lastly the whole "dividend complication" will go away. Example: Hero Honda announced Rs. 80 dividend, and immediately the future after the ex-date shot down Rs. 80. Futures were quoting at 1,940 while the spot market showed rates of 2,020 (including the dividend). At this point, the 1900 call was quoting at Rs. 122 – why? The stock would go down to 1940 before expiry, and the Rs. 120 price has an obscene time value – yet, because stock options are American and marked to the Rs. 2,020 spot price, the price had to be at least Rs. 120. This only happened till the Ex-date, and yes, I've taken advantage of this many times. But I'm happy to see it go away.
Also Read:
I agree that European options are simpler and american option are complex, but American option also bring in the realty of market (Dividends, buyback and open offers).
Now the options can be termed futures option instead of stock option
Do visit my blog to know the change in style and valuation of option after this move
>Its good news as it will take away the manipulation in stock price for the purpose of exercising.
However I think the heavy premiums will go away and we should see tighter spreads as lot of algos will now be looking for these opportunities.
>nice information….

Beekeeping, like every other action, has its own dos and don'ts. Beginning beekeeping generally involves purchasing bees and the needed gear. However, some individuals who are starting this hobby usually make a few errors. It is ok to make mistakes, and this post can help new beekeepers avoid making the same mistakes others have before.
Here are three mistakes which every beekeeper should avoid:
1. Not knowing the best time to begin a beekeeping company or avocation can end up being a catastrophe. It can lead to a loss of your bees and money. Since most bees perish during the wintertime, winter is the worst possible time to begin. This would compel a beekeeper to purchase a new batch of bees, which would be more expensive money. Fall is another inferior time since there are fewer blooms, thus a smaller number of honey harvested to begin beekeeping. The best time to start beekeeping is during summer, which will be the time of the year where there are plenty of blooms that are blooming.
2. Purchasing used equipment and old books on beekeeping. That is a standard mistake made by many start beekeepers. Purchasing used old and gear beekeeping novels isn't a great idea, although it's clear that one would need to conserve money as much as possible. First, used gear can come with "familial" problems. The extractor factory outlet might have a flow, or the uncapping knife might not be sharp enough to uncap all the wax. This would definitely change the quality of one's honey, which will ben't an ideal scenario especially if a beekeeper is intending to begin a honey-selling business. Second, info that is dated can be provided by old books on beekeeping. One might be stuck using the conventional method when there are quicker and better methods production honey and to maintain beehives.
3. Refraining from buying protective equipment. Think about this. He/she'll most likely come out as a pincushion with all the bee stingers stuck to their body if one does not wear protective equipment when handling the hives and collecting the honeycombs. Protective equipment is not cheap, yes, but it will help beekeepers prevent spending medical bills.
These three errors are presented here to help future beekeepers avoid them. Before getting started beekeeping, it truly is best to consult an expert beekeeper. If buying a certain item looks overly high-priced, constantly consider the end cost ( in case that they don't purchase this thing now, will it cost them more later on?). Ultimately, it is up to the person to determine the best plan of action.

House Intelligence Committee Republicans said on Monday the panel had finished investigating Russia and the 2016 U.S. election, and found no collusion between President Donald Trump's campaign and Moscow's efforts to influence the vote.
The committee Republicans said they agreed that Russia sought to influence the election by spreading propaganda and false news reports via social media. However, they disputed the findings of the Central Intelligence Agency, National Security Agency and Federal Bureau of Investigation that Moscow sought to aid Trump, who won a surprise victory over Democrat Hillary Clinton.
"We're through with interview phase. We're now in the report drafting phase," Republican Representative Mike Conaway, who has led the panel's investigation for the past year, told Reuters.
Representative Adam Schiff, the top committee Democrat, strongly disagreed and blasted the announcement as a premature shutdown.
Trump took to Twitter to note the announcement, typing in all capital letters, that the House committee had found no evidence of collusion or coordination after a 14-month-long"in-depth investigation."
Democrats have accused committee Republicans of shirking the investigation in order to protect the Republican president and his associates, some of whom have pleaded guilty to charges including lying to investigators and conspiring against the United States.
Trump has repeatedly denied collusion between his campaign and Russia. Russia denies meddling in the 2016 U.S. campaign.
