No picnic is complete without potato sandwich. An easy snack to make that is tasty and mess free to transport. I make it the Indian way with lots of crunchy lentils and a spicy dipping sauce. The result is yummy sandwich ready to be gobbled up in minutes.
One loaf of bread (whole white tastes best, but you can use wheat as well for more nutrition)
Potatoes(boiled) – 6 small size
Onion – 1
Mustard seeds – 2 tsps
Chana dal (bengal gram spilt) – 3 tsps, optional
Urad dal (black gram skinned) – 3 tsps, optional
Green chillies(finely chopped) – 2
Coriander(finely chopped) – to garnish
Oil – as needed
Salt – as needed
Chilli powder or paprika – as needed
Butter(to make the sandwich)
Sandwich maker
Pan to make potatoes
How to
Make the Potatoes
Heat oil in the pan. Start with the mustard seeds. Once it sputters, add the green chillies and the dals. Take caution not to burn the dals. Once the dals are crunchy and light brown, add the finely chopped onions. Fry till it is slightly brown. Add salt and the chilli powder. Finally add the potatoes and fry a bit. Leave it on medium heat for a short while, stirring in between to avoid burning. The potatoes are ready to be stuffed.
Making the sandwich
Add some butter and heat the sandwich maker until ready. Scoop some potato mixture in between 2 slices of bread and make the sandwich in the sandwich maker.
Tip: You can spread some mint chutney on one of the bread to make it more tangy. But make sure you serve it immediately since the chutney will make the bread a bit soggy.
That' it! Your sandwich is ready to be eaten and taken on a picnic. Perfect picnic companion along with your family 😉
Serve it with some Maggi hot sauce or regular Ketchup.

Game Overview
Here's A Review of Riven in four words: It's Myst, but better.
Set in Mysts fantasy universe Riven sees you tasked with imprisoning a wizard in a book that contains a broken LCD, to free a woman who can evacuate the residents of Riven before it destroys itself. Got that? So you start off being teleported into a cell. While you're stuck there an oriental lad steals your magic prison book and is promptly assassinated by a ninja wearing sunglasses. He keeps the book and releases you from your cell. And all this in glorious 640 x 480 FMV.
From then on you're in Myst territory, flick-screening around an archipelago solving puzzles. But Riven stands out from the original in two ways: it's stunningly beautiful, with FMV making everything believable, and puzzles are designed as part of the environment, rather than being dumped in your path.
Having the same gameplay as Myst means Riven shares the same faults: solving puzzles can involve staring at your monitor while randomly clicking stuff. And if logic puzzles aren't your thing, this game will make you feel stupid. But people who want to something off-beat to play, Riven makes a fine choice.

Original source: Edge of Sports
When Rush Limbaugh was unceremoniously dumped in his efforts to secure a minority share of the St. Louis Rams, he may have been little more than collateral damage in a brewing collision between NFL owners and the NFL Players Association. After the union raised objections, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell squashed Limbaugh like a waterbug. Given the potential conflict brewing between NFL management and labor, Rush was a public relations disaster Goodell could hardly afford.
The collective bargaining agreement is due to expire at the end of the 2010 season and all signs are that an era of labor/management partnership is not at hand. As Sports Illustrated senior writer Peter King wrote this week, 'It's going to get ugly. There's better than a 50-percent chance, I believe, of some work stoppage in 2011, as incredibly golden-goose-killing as that sounds.'
The idea of a labor stoppage could revive a rack of memories the owners want best buried. During the 1980s, the NFL was the site of two of the most bitter sports strikes/lockouts in history. In 1987, when 'scab football' was played by 'the replacements' in front of half empty stadiums, locked out players in some NFL cities brought rifles to their picket lines. In others, they physically assaulted the scab players that attempted to break the lines. In today's 24-hour sports media environment, the idea of round-the-clock picket line drama, is nothing the owners want.
The negotiations also occur within the context of a new study showing that retired NFL players suffer from advanced Alzheimer's disease and other brain trauma at five times the national rate among men over 50. For men under 50, the number is 19 times the national rate. Congress held hearings in the subject last week and both the union and the owners are going to be pressed to explain why so little has been done for so long. For years the owners have spoken about concussions the way the tobacco industry used to bleat about lung cancer. They would say 'research has not shown' that football causes the attendant brain injuries. Those days are done. Both the union and owners will be pressed to address this during the upcoming negotiations.
But that will require a spirit of cooperation that may not exist as negotiations are brought to a boil. The issues that separate them seem minor: NFLPA President Smith and the union want more financial transparency. The owners want to dial back concessions they made in the last CBA and get a larger share of the revenue back.
But the two main sources of tension aren't on the bargaining table: The first is the economy. The NFL, long thought to be recession proof is feeling the squeeze. In the best of times, football is a blue-collar game at white-collar prices. But this year attendance has dropped, in no small part because ticket prices remain prohibitive even amidst the crisis. A family of four, purchasing modest concessions, will now pay over $400. The result is that empty seats dot stadiums around the country. This leads to 'blackouts' where games aren't broadcast in local markets. In 2008, only nine games were blacked out during the entire season. In 2009 Jacksonville alone has already announced that they will have to blackout eight. The league will want to cut costs in this climate and the union will feel a need to hold the line. The golden goose has lost a bit of its luster.
It's worth noting that the NFL is only highest profile example of the economic crisis pervading the world of sports. The National Football League's red-headed stepchild, the Arena Football League, had to cancel its last season. In 2009, 21 of the 30 Major League Baseball teams saw attendance drops. The Ladies Professional Golf Association has seen their corporate sponsorships flee and the Women's National Basketball Association eliminated roster spots in preparation for a downturn.,
The National Basketball Association in particular has looked vulnerable in the current climate. The league took out a $175 million line of credit to aid financially failing teams even though Commissioner David Stern tried to spin this as a sign of the league's health, which was a little bit sad. The NBA also has contract negotiations after the 2010 season which could make the NFL battle look tepid by comparison. It's this dire economy which stands as the primary reason labor peace won't be coming to the NFL.
While the dire economy is the primary reason to bet against labor peace in the NFL, another good one is new Players Association president DeMaurice Smith. The NFLPA is generally seen as the weakest of the sports unions because it's the only league without guaranteed contracts. Smith, a connected Capitol Hill lawyer, was elected in March following the sudden death of Gene Upshaw, wants to show that despite not being a former player he will be strong for his players. Upon assuming leadership he said, 'There isn't a day where I don't hope for peace, but at the same time, there isn't a day where we won't prepare for war.'
Smith has told ESPN that he has called upon his players to put aside 25 percent of their salaries over the next two years. 'I look at the way in which it looks like we're moving to this lockout, and first and foremost, we have to be in a position where our young men are in a position to be able to take care of themselves and their families,' he said.
It's this combative stance, along with declining revenues that signal to many an NFL watcher that the golden goose might soon be cooked.

Miss Porter's School
Miss Porter's School is a private college preparatory school for girls located in Farmington, Connecticut. Porter's enrollment for 2017–18 academic year was 313; 200 boarding students, and 113 day students. Known for its nationally and internationally diverse population, the school draws students from 21 states, 31 countries (with dual-citizenship and/or residence), and 17 countries (citizenship alone). All told, international students comprised 14% as of the 2017–18 year.[2] Average class size is 10.[2]

Miss Porter's School was established in 1843 by education reformer Sarah Porter, who recognized the importance of women's education. She was insistent that the school's curriculum include chemistry, physiology, botany, geology, and astronomy in addition to the more traditional Latin, French, German, spelling, reading, arithmetic, trigonometry, history, and geography. Also encouraged were such athletic opportunities as tennis, horseback riding, and in 1867 the school formed its own baseball team, the Tunxises.[3] In 1884, Sarah Porter hired her former student, Mary Elizabeth Dunning Dow, with whom she began to share more of her duties as Head of School. From then until her death in 1900, Miss Porter gradually relinquished her control of the school to Mrs. Dow.
Sarah Porter's will named her nephew, Dr. Robert Porter Keep, as executor of her estate, of which the school was the most valuable asset. Mrs. Dow's compensation for her position as sole Head of School was also specified in the will. As executor, Dr. Keep began extensive repairs and renovations to the school. While Mrs. Dow continued to receive a salary as per Porter's will, she became convinced that Dr. Keep, in diverting the school's income to pay for construction, was enriching his inheritance with funds that were rightfully hers. The conflict escalated and culminated in Mrs. Dow's resignation in 1903. She moved to Briarcliff, New York, taking with her as many as 140 students and 16 faculty members, and began Mrs. Dow's School for Girls, which would come to be known as Briarcliff Junior College only to be absorbed by Pace University in 1977.[4][5][6]
Dr. Keep announced in July 1903 that the school would reopen in October of that year with his wife, Elizabeth Vashti Hale Keep as Head of School, eleven teachers, and between five and sixteen students in attendance. After Dr. Keep succumbed to pneumonia and died on July 3, 1904, Mrs. Keep continued his legacy of renovation and construction. One of her many legacies was the establishment of a kindergarten for children of her employees.[7] The kindergarten, on Garden Street, is now home to the Village Cooperative Nursery School, and is no longer connected with Miss Porter's School. When Mrs. Keep died of influenza on March 28, 1917, leadership of the school passed to her stepson, Robert Porter Keep, Jr., who moved to Farmington from Andover, Massachusetts where he had been teaching German at Phillips Academy. From 1917 until the school's Centennial, in 1943, he and his wife, RoseAnne Day Keep, remained Heads of School at Miss Porter's.[4][8]
Mr. Keep appointed members to the first Board of Trustees including:
- Wilmarth S. Lewis, Yale's Horace Walpole scholar
- Annie Burr Auchincloss Lewis 1920 (Wilmarth Lewis's wife)
- The Rev. Palfrey Perkins, a senior minister at King's Chapel
- Lewis Perry, headmaster of Phillips Exeter Academy
- George H. Richards, a lawyer and Mr. Keep's classmate at Yale
The school was incorporated as a non-profit institution during the school's Centennial in 1943, with the primary purpose as a college preparatory school rather than its previous reputation as a finishing school for the social elite.[4] Also in 1943, the school ended the tradition of choosing a successive Head of School from the Porter family tree, selecting as its Head Ward L. Johnson and his wife Katharine.[4]
Classes at Porter's are held Monday through Friday, with Wednesday as a half day. Porter's has a student-to-teacher ratio of about 8:1. Porter's utilizes a style of teaching similar to the Harkness Method, wherein students and teachers sit around an oval table for discussion-based humanities courses. STEM courses take place in traditional classrooms and/or labs, while arts are taught in studio.
Students are required to take courses in the arts, computer science, English, ethical leadership, history, modern or classical languages, mathematics, and science.[9] Typically, students take a total of five to six units of credit per semester.[9]
On May 19, 2011, the Online School for Girls announced that Miss Porter's School and School of the Holy Child in Rye, New York had become consortium members.[10] Three Porter's faculty members are currently listed as teachers on the OSG website.[11]
Tuition and financial aidEdit
Miss Porter's offers need-based financial aid as well as a variety of merit scholarships. The school reports that, for the 2017–18 school year, roughly 34 percent of the student body receives some form of financial aid, with a total of over $3.3 million in aid awarded,[12] although fewer than 2% of the student body receive a full scholarship. In 2018, 37% of students received some form of need-based financial aid.[citation needed]
As of 2018, the school's endowment was estimated at $113 million.[2] The school is undergoing a capital campaign in 2018 to support a more consolidated campus that harkens back to its original roots. The campus at one time incorporated more than 90 buildings, most of which were in historical districts in Farmington and/or on the National Registry of Historic Buildings. Consolidating the campus supports the school's mission of educating young women for the future, while incorporating its rich past as the school celebrated its 175-year anniversary.[13]
Campus facilitiesEdit
Academic facilitiesEdit
- The Main building, the front door of which is depicted on the school seal, was built in 1830 as the Union Hotel on Main Street. Originally intended to serve patrons of the nearby Farmington Canal, it was rented by Sarah Porter in 1848 until her purchase on April 19, 1866.[14][15]
- The M. Burch Tracy Ford Library, one of the newer academic facilities on campus, is named for the school's eleventh Head of School and houses over 22,000 volumes, electronic books, magazines, journals, newspapers in addition to a collection of 1,308 academic and entertainment DVDs and videos. The building also houses a computer lab and eight study rooms.[16]
- Hamilton, previously a dorm, is currently home to the English and History departments. It was named for the Hamilton sisters, primarily Alice and Edith.
- Jones Memorial, previously a pharmacy before the school's founding, is home to the language department, where students can enroll in Spanish, Latin, French, or Mandarin.
- Olin, the main building for mathematics, science, and arts. This building is home to the school seal, which only seniors are allowed to step on.
Athletic facilitiesEdit
- The Student Recreation Center, designed by Tai Soo Kim[17] and built in 1991, includes the Wean Student Center (a gift of the Raymond John Wean Foundation), Crisp Gymnasium with an elevated running track, a weight and exercise room, an athletic training room, and four previous squash courts which have since been converted into an Erg room, a free weight room, and a climbing wall.
- The Mellon Gymnasium, designed by Maxwell Moore and built in 1962 as part of the theater-gymnasium complex, was a gift of the Richard King Mellon Foundation. It is home to Varsity Badminton in the fall, JV and Thirds Basketball in the winter, and is the designated indoor practice space for Varsity and JV Softball in the spring. It is also the official home of the Minks, Possums, and Squirrels, intercampus primarily sports rivalries that each New Girl is assigned to during one of the Fall Traditions. Outside of the Gymnasium, there is a statue for each of the three groups.
- The Gaines Dance Barn, built c. 1930 and remodeled in 1993, is the 3,500-square-foot (330 m2) facility that serves as both rehearsal and performance space for dance groups. In March 1998, the facility was acoustically treated following complications stemming from the 1993 remodel.[18][19]
- The Pool & Squash Building was designed and built by Stanmar Inc. in 2007.[20] As the newest athletic facility on campus, it contains an eight-lane, 25-yard (23 m) pool and eight international squash courts, and is nicknamed the "Cool House," as a combination of terms "Court" and "Pool House." It also contains multi-function rooms that are frequently used for receptions for Ancients, Trustees, and guests.
- The Farmington Boat House, a cold storage boathouse on the nearby Farmington River, is home to the Varsity and JV Crew teams of both Miss Porter's and Farmington High School, shared in a unique public-private relationship.[21] The program is equipped with six Vespoli fours, a pair/double and three recreational singles.[22]
Interscholastic sportsEdit
Porter's competes in the Founders League with Choate Rosemary Hall, Hotchkiss, Kent, Kingswood-Oxford, Loomis Chaffee, Taft and Westminster schools. At the end of each season, Porter's competes against the league's most competitive teams in the New England Championships.[23][24] Porter's traditional rival is The Ethel Walker School.
In 1997, the Crew Team ranked 1st in the New England Championships.[25] In 2009, the Varsity Crew Team placed fourth in the New England Championships.[25]
In 2012, the Varsity Squash team placed fourth in New England Championships. Following the 2014 NEISA Team Championships, Varsity Squash ranked 8th out of 16 teams in Division A of the New England Interscholastic Squash Association (NEISA).[26] Participation in the 2014 NEISA Individual Championships earned the team 74 points and 6th Place overall.[27]
In 2010, the Varsity Volleyball team defeated Convent of the Sacred Heart to become the 2010 New England School Athletic Council (NEPSAC) Class B Champions.[28]
Student lifeEdit
Residential lifeEdit
Approximately 75% of Porter's girls live in dormitories, all but one of which are former Farmington private residences left to the school. Each dormitory has a house director who lives in a private suite or apartment in the dorm, often with his/her family. One of the school's distinguishing features is that house directors' primary responsibilities are within residential houses. Each dormitory, with the exception of the two senior dorms, has two Junior Advisors who serve as peer counselors and mediators.[29]
All student residences are equipped with the TellEmotion Polar Bear Program, technology developed at Dartmouth College,[30] in order to encourage conscientious energy consumption among students. Each display features an animated polar bear at various degrees of comfort or distress depending on the building's current energy consumption. Additionally, students can monitor their dorm's progress and even compare it to that of other dorms using the software's graphical analysis feature.
Student publicationsEdit
- Salmagundy is the school's student-run monthly newspaper, founded October 27, 1945. Salmagundy is now both an online and paper publication.[31]
- The school's journal for scholarly writing, Chautauqua, sharing its name with the US adult education movement, offers publication examples of student research across a variety of academic disciplines.
- The school's yearbook, Daeges Eage, literally translates from Old English to "eye of the day," from which the modern word "daisy" is derived.
- Haggis/Baggis, the school's magazine for literature and fine arts, features student poems, short stories, photographs, and artwork. Since it was first published in 1967,[32] the magazine has received numerous awards and recognitions.[33]
- The Language Literary Magazine is a yearly publication which showcases writings by foreign language students, including essays, poems, commentaries, and dialogues.

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.) accused a Republican lawmaker without evidence of being "compromised" Tuesday.
In a tweet from her verified account Tuesday night, Omar shared a 2015 video of then-presidential candidate Sen. Lindsey Graham (R., S.C.) criticizing Donald Trump.
Recent Stories in Politics
They got to him, he is compromised! https://t.co/m8sB3EmElg
— Ilhan Omar (@IlhanMN) January 16, 2019
In the video, Graham slammed then-candidate Trump for his character and views. At the time, the senator and Trump were dueling for the 2016 Republican nomination. Since Trump's election, Graham has worked closely with the president on a range of issues, and has generally been supportive of his agenda, to the puzzlement of many in the media.
Omar's unsubstantiated accusation came hours after MSNBC's Stephanie Ruhle implied that Trump has kompromat on South Carolina's senior senator. During a panel discussion on the relationship between the two, Ruhle jumped in with the suggestion. "It could be that Donald Trump or somebody knows something pretty extreme about Lindsey Graham," Ruhle said before ending the segment. "We're gonna have to leave it there," she concluded.
The Washington Free Beacon reported Tuesday that Ruhle's accusation, and now Omar's, follow an unsourced allegation by Jon Cooper, a super PAC Democratic official. He claimed Graham was "being blackmailed by the Russians" over "some pretty serious sexual kink."
By the way, as an openly gay man myself, I couldn't care less about Lindsey Graham's sex life (gay, straight or otherwise). However, Graham is the Senate Judiciary Chair and there's a strong likelihood that he's being blackmailed by the Russians. If so, that needs to be revealed.
— Jon Cooper (@joncoopertweets) January 14, 2019
To date, the MSNBC anchor, Democratic fundraiser, and elected official have yet to produce any evidence for the smear.
Philip Klein, executive editor of the Washington Examiner, wrote an editorial Tuesday titled "It doesn't take a crazy conspiracy theory to explain why Lindsey Graham is supporting Donald Trump." In it, Klein offered that Graham's relationship with Trump can be explained by the fact he "is running for reelection in 2020 in a state where Trump's approval rating is 83 percent among Republicans."
Trump and Graham have worked together to support two Supreme Court justices, pass criminal justice reform, and pass a number of other legislative measures. However, they have also broken on a number of issues, including Trump's decision in December to withdraw U.S. troops from Syria. The two have managed to work through those disagreements, albeit with an occasional barbed tweet.
So hard to believe that Lindsey Graham would be against saving soldier lives & billions of $$$. Why are we fighting for our enemy, Syria, by staying & killing ISIS for them, Russia, Iran & other locals? Time to focus on our Country & bring our youth back home where they belong!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 20, 2018
As of press time, Omar's original tweet remained posted without supporting evidence.

The BBC has continued with its goal of always including someone associated with the Global Warming Policy Foundation in any segment on climate science. This morning it was Nic Lewis on Radio 4. The segment starts about 15 minutes in, and is actually okay. It mainly focuses on Nic Lewis's recent work, and the apparent convergence of the views of "skeptics" and mainstream scientists. Apart from Roger Harrabin confusing doubling CO2 concentrations and doubling CO2 emissions, he does a pretty good job of describing the situation. Even though Nic Lewis's work does suggest that climate sensitivity is lower than other estimates suggest, there is a large overlap and they aren't as inconsistent as some might have you believe.
Nic Lewis doesn't say much, but does do the standard climate models running too hot. This is clearly a possibility, but it is really too early to know, and they aren't the only reason that we think equilibrium sensitivity is around 3oC per doubling of CO2. There are also a number of reasons to think that Nic Lewis's recent work may be underestimating climate sensitivity. I've discussed this before, so don't want to go into great detail again. There are, however, some things to bear in mind.
- The energy budget method used by Nic Lewis – although useful – is quite simple and can't capture all the complexities of the climate system, such as inhomogeneities in the forcings or non-linearities in the feedbacks.
- Similarly, these energy budget methods do not capture slow feedbacks.
- Even though Nic Lewis's work implies that climate sensitivity might be lower than other methods suggest, there are recent adjustments to the surface temperature record and the ocean heat content (not considered by Nic Lewis) that would increase these estimates.
- Nic Lewis's results do not exclude the possibility of the equilibrium sensitivity being higher than 3oC, or the transient response being close to 2oC.
- Even though these energy budget estimates do use observations, they still rely on results from models.
So, if climate sensitivity is on the low side (which is a possibility, even given the IPCC estimates) then we would have more time and our inaction today may not do as much damage as it would were it higher. However, if it's not low (and even Nic Lewis's work allows for this), and we follow a high emission pathway, there is a possibility that we could have 2oC of warming, relative to pre-industrial times, within the next 3 decades. It would be great if climate sensitivity is low. However, if we do assume that it is, and we turn out to be wrong, our error will be apparent very soon.
The segment also mentioned climate skeptic and influential blogger Andrew Montford. Well, if he keeps promoting – without comment – dross like this on his site, then I don't think climate skeptic is the correct descriptor. Essentially, though, this BBC segment on climate science only mentioned two people, both of whom are associated with the Global Warming Policy Foundation (GWPF). I'm actually struggling to think of a single BBC segment on climate science in the recent past that has not had at least one person associated with the GWPF. Here's a challenge to the BBC. Why not have something on climate science that does not include someone from the GWPF. I'm not suggesting excluding them completely, just suggesting that there are many other organisations who would be (more?) suitable. With all due respect to Nic Lewis, if all you're looking for is a climate scientist with a few publications who would be willing to speak to the media, there are hundreds of candidates. Of course, if you're looking for one who is willing to argue against the mainstream position, the pickings may be slightly slimmer.

Fox News no longer broadcast in UK over weak ratings, controversy
The American right-wing news network Fox News has been pulled off the air in Britain after failing to appeal to the British audience.
"Fox News is focused on the US market and designed for a US audience and, accordingly, it averages only a few thousand viewers across the day in the UK," 21st Century Fox, the network's parent company, said in a statement.
"We have concluded that it is not in our commercial interest to continue providing Fox News in the UK," the statement added.
Sources said that the channel was attracting only around 2,000 viewers a day after being aired in the UK for 15 years.
While the company insists that viewership was the only reason behind the decision, experts believe it was rather a strategic move by media mogul Rupert Murdoch to protect his £11.7 billion takeover bid for British broadcasting giant Sky.
Fox News's many controversies, ranging from accusations of collusion with President Donald Trump's administration to a sexual harassment scandal that prompted a wave of high-profile firings and resignations, have attracted a lot of negative coverage for Murdoch's media business.
Last year, the channel was penalized by the UK media regulator Ofcom in several occasions, bringing to 22 Fox's total breaches over the past decade.
In one of its programs, the network invited a guest who blatantly claimed Birmingham was a city "where non-Muslims just simply don't go."
The channel went off the air for a few hours on June 8, to avoid further Ofcom rulings as British voters went to polls in a snap general election.
Tom Watson, the deputy Labour leader and shadow culture secretary, said the decision should not affect the government's final say on whether 21st Century Fox should be allowed to buy Sky.
"Fox News has breached Ofcom's rules over and over again, so 21st Century Fox clearly thought it was easier to pull it from the UK altogether than to clean up its act," Watson said.
Ed Miliband, the former Labour leader and long-time Murdoch critic, said the decision showed how the media mogul was "panicking" over the Sky deal.
"Stopping broadcasting in the UK changes nothing. Fox News in the US is the Murdochs' channel, they are responsible for its broadcasting standards and the appalling racial and sexual harassment that happened on their watch. The Murdochs can't run from their record at Fox News."

New PARTS-PUBLISHER Update
The service update for the PARTS-PUBLISHER authoring environment and publications
is now available in the Internet Support Center.
Get into further innovations in:
- Authoring Environment
- Publication Offline
- Publication Online
- Enhancement package E-Commerce
New in the Authoring Environment:
Improved performance due to initial 2D display
Optimise the performance of your spare parts catalogue by initially displaying 2D graphics. You can now choose whether you want to display assembly drawings in 2D or 3D.
The advantage of 2D initialization is the fast display of the graphics as opposed to 3D images.
New in Publication Online / Offline
Specified part search in the advanced navigation for faster identification
If the user starts the catalog via the extended navigation and uses the parts search, the search result can contain many hits.
To reduce the number of hits, you can expand the 'Part search' dialog with a selection menu. The user thus restricts the search range. For example, the BOM type is used as the search area. This means that the search takes place in the assemblies that are classified by the selected BOM category.
The configuration also enables language-specific display texts for the selection menu.
Your advantage: Faster matching results are displayed - faster identification - fewer searches - fewer incorrect orders.
Optimised update process thanks to update manager
Problems downloading update files are now a thing of the past. The Update Manager now creates small, split download files instead of a large update ZIP file.
If the Internet connection is unstable, the viewer can easily download the update files. If large updates contain errors, the update process can be restarted appropriately.
New in Enhancement E-Commerce
Enable export and import of shopping carts via Excel file format
It is now even easier to export and import shopping carts. By using the Excel format, it is now even easier to import shopping carts into the ERP system.
Better protection of the shopping basket
The shopping cart is now even safer. Security tokens, which can also be adopted by third-party systems, are secure against "cross-site request forgery". In addition, the OCI call can be secured separately. Translated with
Notification by mail about orders to be released
New in the PARTS-PUBLISHER is the release function. This informs by e-mail about orders still to be released. The process is thus more structured and incorrect orders are avoided.
Ask your questions!
If you have any questions, please feel free and do not hesitate to contact us.
We will be happy to help you.

Animals in Japanese Art Exhibition at LACMA
Closing 12/8/19 at LACMA is Every Living Thing: Animals in Japanese Art. It's a really fun of exhibition with a good selection of art from different time periods, including Yayoi Kusama's dog sculptures from Megu-chan (2014), two of which are pictured above.
From LACMA's website-
Every Living Thing: Animals in Japanese Art celebrates one of the most distinctive and compelling aspects of Japanese art: the depiction of animals. Underpinned by Japan's unique spiritual heritage of Shintō and Buddhism, the Japanese reverence for nature—and the place of animals within that realm—is expressed in sculpture, painting, lacquer-work, ceramics, metalwork, cloisonné, and woodblock prints.
Lions, dogs, horses, oxen, cats, fish, insects, birds, dragons, phoenixes—animals warm and cold-blooded, real and imaginary—are meticulously and beautifully rendered in myriad works from ancient 6th-century clay sculpture to contemporary art. Arranged in themes such as Zodiac Animals, Animals from Nature, Religion, Myth and Folklore, and Leisure, the exhibition draws heavily from LACMA's permanent collection and includes masterpieces from Japanese and American public and private collections, some of which are on view for the first time.

by Eric Stashin (aka The Rotoprofessor)
The Tampa Bay Rays have finally decided to summon Jake Bauers from Triple-A, and whether he's given time at 1B (46 games played in '18) or in the OF (6 games played in '18, 146 over his minor league career) there is little question that he's going to be in the lineup. The question is how big of an impact can he make? Let's take a look and see where his potential impact lies:
Average/On Base Percentage
Bauers owns a .276 average over his minor league career, including a .268 mark over 683 AB at Triple-A. That doesn't seem impressive, but he also has a .365 OBP at Triple-A as he's shown a strong approach (strikeout rate // walk rate):
- 2017 – 19.5% // 13.6%
- 2018 – 21.2% // 10.4%
With SwStr% of 9.5% in '18 and 9.0% in '17, there's every reason to believe that he'll carry this into the Majors. Couple that with an ability to hit the ball hard and he should be a .260+ hitter with a strong OBP.
Just how good is he at drawing a walk? As per MLB.com, "Bauers' advanced approach and feel for working counts drive his on-base skills, as he paced the International League in walks (78) after ranking second in Southern League in 2016."
Let's put it this a different way, after the 2017 season Baseball America said "Bauers has the makings of a younger version of Joey Votto". That's high praise, to say the least.
This has not yet translated to game action, with just 5 HR in 197 AB this season. However he's shown plenty of extra base power at Triple-A, and that gives hope that he will be able to grow/mature into it before long:
- Doubles – 45
- Triples – 1
- Home Runs – 18
Maybe he's not a consistent 30+ HR slugger, but at 22-years old the upside is there to develop 25+ HR pop (and he could even show it by year's end). Even from a first baseman, with his ability to get on base there's nothing wrong with that.
Bauers isn't a pure burner, but he is athletic and knows how to use it. Over his time at Triple-A he's gone 30-for-39 in SB attempts, and from a position that generally offers little upside in this department it can't be overlooked.
Bauers may not be an elite prospect, but he has the potential to make a bigger impact than he's given credit for (especially in OBP formats). He could be a .270/25/10 first baseman, hitting in the middle of the batting order. Concerned that the left-handed hitter is destined for a platoon? Just look at his split from this season:
He has the potential to be a difference maker in all formats from Day 1 (and the Rays have no reason to call him up and not play).
Fantasy Waiver Wire Guidelines:

which will have an adverse effect on our body. In general, we are through the filter cotton to filter out the material in the air. Filter cotton is usually
divided into primary filter cotton, ceiling filter cotton, high efficiency filter cotton.
The varieties of filter cotton:
In our daily life, we use the filter cotton is generally made of four kinds of materials. Synthetic fiber filter cotton, it mainly has the advantages of small
resistance, light weight, large capacity, environmental protection, moderate price and so on. Non woven filter cotton, it generally has a wide range of

The last few weeks have been a blur of intensive project work. We've had two programming projects, one individual and one group.
Simulating Relativistic Decays
The first programming project was for the relativity module. We had to simulate the energy distribution of neutrinos from a set of particle decays. This individual project was an interesting test of applying what we had learnt in the module, combining programming skills and careful consideration of the scenario. Since the project was assessed automatically, this required a lot of scrutiny to the specifications given for variable names and the units values were presented in.
Statistical Application and Group Tensions
While the first project went quite smoothly for me, the second was rather bumpy.

The marketer benefits by making money off of products with their website or another format. This method of making money requires some work up front in terms of building and promoting the website or putting together a newsletter, but once the link is tip and running and receiving clicks, the income stream is passive.

They will figure out the domain name on their own, and purchase the product that way. Most people can spot an affiliate link when they see one, especially if you are marketing to other marketers if your visitors are savvy enough, they will replace your affiliate link with their own and take a nice little discount off of the purchase price of the product. If you could save up to 75% on a specific product, wouldn't you do it? Luckily, there we several different ways to cloak, or mask, your affiliate links.
Shortened URLs

Medicare Advantage Plans can offer both savings and options that are new to the marketplace. While the details of these plans vary from state to state, it is clear that most offer some level of savings. Seniors in hospitals often qualify for coverage at very low costs, which means they can keep more of their own money for other important expenses. In many cases, these savings are tax-free, meaning a senior can receive their savings without paying taxes on them. It is important to note that while Medicare Advantage Plans offers savings for hospitals, the premiums paid on these plans are not usually based on the hospital rates.
The savings you can receive for monthly premiums vary according to the plan you choose. However, there are basic principles that all plans have in common, such as limited benefits, capitation, managed care, managed budgets, high deductibles, and a limited number of providers.While savings are usually real savings, it's important to know that you can't count on them to cover everything. This is why it's crucial to review your plan regularly and talk with your doctor about any questions you may have. It is also helpful to get a Medicare Supplement Insurance Card, which has a limit on the amount of coverage a patient can receive.
Seniors should keep in mind that their Medicare Advantage Plan will cost them more than it would for a traditional Medicare Plan. This is because the price of prescription drugs are higher in today's market. If you're at risk for heart disease or cancer, it's important to pay attention to the prices of prescription drugs so you can afford them.Many patients get confused between how much they spend for deductibles and premiums, and how much they spend on medical care. While they are both included in the monthly premium, they aren't the same thing. Medicare Advantage Plans is managed care plans, which means their goal is to help seniors get more out of their health care.
You must learn how to manage your costs, so your overall costs are decreased, not just medical care. You'll be able to receive the benefits you deserve, while still being able to enjoy the best medical care. Caregivers who are qualified to help patients are usually required to participate in the Medicare Advantage Plans, so they must know how to make the most of the plan.Part of this is understanding how the plan works. As stated above, Medicare Advantage Plans offers savings for seniors, but they also offer a large number of qualified professionals to help you manage your costs. They want to give you choices so you can learn how to manage your own health care. In addition, they want to help seniors save as much money as possible. Review Medicare Advantage 2021 to enroll.
This is why they provide such a wide range of services on their plan. By finding the plan that suits your needs, you can find the services you need at very affordable prices. This flexibility is one of the main reasons seniors like Medicare Advantage Plans.There are additional benefits available to seniors, such as language interpreters, home health care services, and health care aides. All of these additional services can be great assets to a senior.It's important to understand how you can access these additional options. By accessing your policy online, you can be sure you can access any service you need. It also allows you to choose the plan that is right for you, with its flexible payment options.The most important consideration when it comes to selecting a Medicare Advantage Plan is your health. Choose the plan that is right for you and your family, so you can live the life you deserve!

"Joining the badminton school team is probably one of the best decisions I have made in my life. Not only did I have a great experience representing the school in the tournaments, my knowledge for badminton had grown and my character had changed for the better, all thanks to my coach.
When I just joined, my priority was on winning everybody so I could be the top, but over the years of training and tournaments, I've learnt that not everything is about the result. My character and the way I act plays a important role in growing up. I used to be a doubles player, and that taught me a lot about teamwork. It's so important, you need to work well with your peers, friends in order to be successful.
Being a captain of the team made me very responsible, and I'm glad the coaches trust me with the assignments.
Whether I am the best or not, I could never be more proud than being a team member of the Badminton Team.

Get to know VCC gemmology student Erica Dentinger.
What brought you to the Gemmology program at VCC?
I found out about the gemmology program when I was already enrolled in the jewellery art and design program. Gemstones are my favourite part of jewellery, so I wanted to focus on that.
Why did you choose VCC?
I chose VCC because I have taken a few courses over the years and have been happy with the education. Bonus being that this program is offered in the best city in Canada and my hometown.
How would you describe your experience here?
My experience with the gemmology program has been great! I went in thinking I knew a lot about gemstones but I quickly realized there was so much more to learn. My favourite part of the program has been hands on learning with real gemstones and equipment like microscopes. (Instructor) Donna Hawrelko has been an enormous help with her wealth of knowledge, not just of gemstones
but the entire industry.
Anything unusual you've learned during the course of your studies?
I learned that there is an opalized dinosaur fossil!
Tell us about your designs
I use colourful gemstones in interesting shapes and design jewellery around them. I'm constantly amazed at the earth's ability to create what are essentially beautiful rocks, so I like the focus to be on the natural beauty of gems.
What are your goals after the program?
My ultimate goal is to open my own jewellery store with a focus on gemstones. I hope to travel abroad to seek out ethical and eco-friendly gems straight from the source.
VCC offers four different Gemmology and Jewellery industry certifications as well as an assortment of part-time courses. Join us at upcoming info session to learn more.

Marrying At 22 Is One Of The Best Decisions Of My Life – Actor Yul Edochie1 min read
Nigerian actor-turned politician, Yul Edochie, has confirmed that he got married at 22-years-old to his wife, and that it remains one of the best decision of his life.
When why he got married that early, Yul said;
"My mum wanted me to because my dad also got married about the same age. He had his first child at 23 and I am very close to my mum and she wanted me to do that.
"She felt like if I did that, it would help me concentrate more because right now I have a lot of female fans and they send me messages about my voice and others and right now, I can look back and say I have to go back home."
Asked if at anytime he felt he was too early to have gotten married, he said: "Then. I felt that wait at that time. I don't that way right now. It is one of the best things I ever did for myself. God bless my mum. I appreciate it."

A Public Proposal
It was after 11 p.m. The overbooked flight was already an hour late for takeoff, and the crowd was getting grumpy. If ever there was a chance to practice peace in the midst of annoyance, this was it.
Finally we were herded onto the plane and I settled into my seat, with hopes of getting some shuteye. As soon as we reached cruising altitude, the flight attendant's voice boomed over the P.A. system: "Ladies and gentlemen, one of our passengers would like to request your assistance with a special event he is planning when we land. Dave in seat 17B is going to propose to his girlfriend, who is meeting him at the gate. He would like you to help him deliver some flowers to her. If 24 of you would each get one rose from Dave and give it to his lady before he gets off the plane, you can participate in his proposal. Dave will show you a photo of Heidi . . . to make sure the right lady gets the flowers."
Ah, what a wonderful idea! I wanted to participate, but I was seated too far from Dave to get to a rose before the other passengers. When we landed, however, I was one of the first off the plane, and I positioned myself off to the side to watch the romantic spectacle.
Sure enough, there stood a lovely young woman waiting for her man. One by one, passengers exited the aircraft, each with a red rose in hand. With a smile, each person delivered a flower to Heidi, who shyly received them. Then the passengers formed a semi-circle behind Heidi, waiting for Dave and the Big Question.
Finally all the passengers had left the aircraft -- except for Dave. The flight crew exited, but the groom-to-be was still conspicuously absent. Then the pilot and copilot emerged. They closed the door behind them, commenting, "Well, I guess that's it for the night." The crowd stood silently, watching, waiting, and hoping. Had Dave chickened out?
Suddenly, with all the aplomb of a Hollywood epic, the airplane door swung open one last time, now to reveal a handsome young man in a bright sailor suit. Dave had arrived. The audience breathed a welcome sigh of relief.
The knight in white, carrying yet another dozen red roses, strode proudly to his lady-in-waiting (who by now looked like Miss America, flowers piled to her nose). Tears streamed down her cheeks as she nervously watched her man approach, knowing full well what was about to happen.
Dave presented her with the flowers and ceremoniously dropped to one knee. The audience was rapt. By now it was nearly 1 a.m., but no one was going anywhere. Over 100 people fell silent and watched with awe.
Get The Latest From InnerSelf
Then he did it. He really did it. Dave produced a glittering gold ring and asked Heidi, "Will you marry me?" Of course she would. She tearfully nodded, and he slipped the ring onto her quivering fourth finger. With that, a great cheer and burst of applause went up from the jubilant crowd. The ovation reverberated through the silent airport, and probably still echoes today.
One by one, the group congratulated the couple and then we all made our way toward baggage claim together. The corridor was filled with laughter, chatter, and storytelling. People were happy.
Then something very profound occurred to me: the entire crowd had been transformed. Over a hundred people who had been tired, impatient, and frazzled two hours earlier, were suddenly awake, joy-filled, and playing with each other. Such is the transformative power of one sincere expression of love.
We have been told that energy and fatigue depend on the time of day, how many hours of sleep we have had, stress, environment, age, and many other factors. Yet here was a group of people who had been awake for a long time, traveling under stressful conditions in an unnatural environment, yet they had more energy when they got off the plane than when they began!
Energy and happiness have little to do with what is going on around you, and a lot to do with what is going on inside you. You can find yourself in ideal conditions and be miserable, and you can be in the most adverse conditions and soar. Environment and physical factors may influence us, but attitude makes or breaks us. You may not be able to change your environment, but you can always change your mind.
Joy is the wild card of life; it supersedes every other formula for success. If you can find a way to create joy, you can rise beyond all external factors. If you can play at whatever you are doing, you are the master of your life. And if you should ever have the occasion to make a public proposal, you can take a planeload of 100 bugged and weary people, and turn their evening into a party they will never forget.

Software-based validation approaches such as Empower 2 with MVM use efficient sample sets and experimental designs, allowing validation testing to be performed much faster than setting up and running one experiment at a time. In this application note, the validation of a method developed for the separation of ziprasidone and associated impurities from a forced degradation is demonstrated using Empower 2 with Method Validation Manager (MVM).
Method validation is an essential part of analytical method development in a regulated environment. The process of running a validation study, from defining tests, specifications and acceptance criteria to sample testing and analysis, is a data-intensive and time-consuming process. The use of additional spreadsheets and paper print-outs to process data and track results are error-prone processes that can be remedied using a validation software package such as Empower 2 with Method Validation Manager (MVM).1
In this application note, the validation of a method developed for the separation of ziprasidone and associated impurities from a forced degradation is demonstrated using Empower 2 with Method Validation Manager (MVM). While a variety of tests can be set-up using MVM, the validation tests performed in this example include accuracy, linearity, robustness, repeatability, limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantitation (LOQ) determinations. Intermediate precision was also tested using a Method Validation Kit, to ensure reliability of the method across three different batches of the same column chemistry. The use of efficient sample set designs, along with automated data processing using Empower 2 with MVM, allowed these six validation tests to be performed and processed in one day with simple tracking of the validation study.

Gradient Time:

Data Management:
Empower 2 CDS with Method Validation Manager (MVM)
Ziprasidone peroxide degradation sample:
To 0.4 mg/mL ziprasidone in 50:50 water:methanol, add one equal volume of 3% hydrogen peroxide solution in water, heat at 80 °C for 30 minutes. Dilute to 0.1 mg/mL final concentration with water.
The method for the ziprasidone peroxide degradation separation was previously developed using a Quality by Design (QbD) approach on an ACQUITY UPLC H-Class system running Empower 2 and Fusion AE Method Development Software.2 Since all components eluted before 4 minutes in the Fusion developed method, the original 12-minute run time was shortened to 6 minutes by adjusting the gradient from 0 to 87.5% acetonitrile over 8.1 minutes (original method) to 1% to 45% acetonitrile over 4.3 minutes. The slope of the original gradient was kept constant to maintain the same separation selectivity in both methods. Standards for the impurities generated from the ziprasidone peroxide degradation were not readily available and therefore, a full impurities method validation was not performed. Instead, select validation tests were performed on the ziprasidone active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) and four impurities from the ziprasidone peroxide degradation separation are shown in Figure 1 to demonstrate the utility of Empower 2 with MVM.
Accuracy was evaluated using triplicate preparations at five levels (80, 90, 100, 110, 120%) of the target concentration of ziprasidone API (0.1 mg/mL). Linearity was assessed using the same range as the accuracy testing protocol. Repeatability was tested using six preparations of 100% target concentration of ziprasidone API. Ziprasidone impurities were not evaluated for these tests as appropriate standards were not readily available.
The acceptance criteria for accuracy, linearity and repeatability tests were specified when setting up the validation protocol in MVM. One sample set was written in Empower 2 to generate data for all three tests, enabling MVM to use the results from one sample set run to complete testing for accuracy, linearity and repeatability.
Based on the specifications defined in the validation protocol, the method was found to be accurate and linear within the range tested and the repeatability of the method was well within the established acceptance criteria (Table 1). Using the residual standard deviation from the linearity curve, LOD and LOQ were also calculated for ziprasidone API. The use of efficient sample sets and MVM allowed all of these tests to be completed in one sample set run, greatly minimizing sample preparation and instrument time. Automated data processing using Empower 2 with MVM allowed rapid determination of the status and results of each test, without the need to export data to a separate spreadsheet for manual analysis.
Method robustness tests were configured in MVM using design of experiments (DoE). Based on the factors entered, MVM generates an efficient experimental design that will analyze multiple factors at a time, resulting in a significant time savings compared to a one-factor-at-a-time approach. The factors analyzed in this study included flow rate (0.7-0.9 mL/min), column temperature (30 to 60 °C) and injection volume (0.5-1.5 μL). Robustness testing was performed in eight runs using a full factorial experimental design.
Method robustness was evaluated for the ziprasidone API and the four ziprasidone degradation products based on peak retention time RSD and % area RSD (Table 2). The method is shown to be robust within the criteria defined in the validation protocol for all three factors evaluated. The use of experimental design and automated processing of multiple factors in MVM greatly facilitates robustness testing in validation studies.
The intermediate precision (or ruggedness) of the method was evaluated across column batches using a Method Validation Kit (MVK). MVKs consist of three different batches of the same column chemistry, hence maximizing the analytical variability that might be seen using different batches of columns. A comparison of the ziprasidone peroxide degradation separation on three different batches of ACQUITY UPLC CSH C18 columns in the kit is shown in Figure 2. MVKs provide easy accessibility to three different batches of the same column and their use in both method development and validation promotes analytical method ruggedness as columns are replaced over the lifetime of the method.
Triplicate preparations of the ziprasidone peroxide degradation sample were analyzed on each of three batches of columns from the ACQUITY UPLC CSH C18 MVK. The intermediate precision criteria of retention time RSD and peak area RSD were evaluated for ziprasidone and each of the four impurities (Table 3). The results were found to be within defined acceptance criteria, demonstrating the ruggedness of the method across different batches of columns.

In the Innovation special of the February-March edition of the magazine we had veteran entrepreneurs nominate budding entrepreneurs to keep an eye on. Karen Boers (1978) is the co-founder and Managing Director of Startups.be – uniting hundreds of start-ups with all the incubators, accelerators, investors and public actors in the local ecosystem, Startups.be operates as a one-stop-shop and matchmaker. Her nominee is Jasper Verreydt (1989), co-founder of Turbulent, a company set to provide reliable and renewable energy to even the most remote parts of the world.
How would you best describe what you do?
Turbulent wants to provide reliable and renewable energy to even the most remote locations in the world, thus increasing the global electrification rate. This can be done by a smart and decentralized energy production combined with an easy to install turnkey product. Therefore, Turbulent is developing a new and efficient hydropower technique. This new technology is inspired by the natural shape of a vortex and will be able to deliver affordable, renewable energy without damaging the local ecosystem. These hydropower plants range from 3 kW to 200 kW and are built using standard components combined with our specially designed impeller and control software.
As an entrepreneur working in Belgium today, what do you think is your main purpose?
Perhaps a little selfish, but my main purpose is to get up every day and enjoy my work while having the feeling to contribute something real and useful to the world. This turned out to be building a company (mainly on the business side) concerned to improve the climate.
What key moment/person would you attribute to you becoming an entrepreneur?
The time my ex-girlfriend broke up with me and basically called me lazy and not showing enough initiative I met "AFC Leuven" which is a student organization that promotes and develops entrepreneurship in students. By joining the AFC-team I met a lot of entrepreneurial people (in a broad way) and discovered I liked it a lot myself.
To date, what concept are you the proudest of?
To be honest, I am not the innovator of big concepts like my colleague Geert Slachmuylders. But I am very proud on the progress our team of Turbulent has made since our start in 2015 and the reactions from people when they say "Wow, that's exactly what this country needs". In one year we have found funding (pre-seed & grants) and taken a theory into a real-life pilot project with a first paying customer in the hydropower sector, where the norm for a regular project (with an already proven technology) is mostly a few years.turbulent.be
