Gunpowder has long been the propellant of choice to launch a projectile from a weapon. But the fine gray powder does have three major limitations:
- Gunpowder must be carried with the projectile, making the entire round heavier.
- Ordnance based on black powder is volatile, and so difficult to handle and transport.
- The muzzle velocity of projectiles propelled by gunpowder is generally limited to about 4,000 feet (about 1,219 meters) per second.
Is it possible to overcome these challenges? One solution is the electromagnetic rail gun, or rail gun for short. Using a magnetic field powered by electricity, a rail gun can accelerate a projectile up to 52,493 feet (16,000 meters) per second. And while current Navy guns have a maximum range of 12 miles, rail guns can hit a target 250 miles away in six minutes.
In this article, we'll discuss how rail guns work, how they can be used and the limitations of this technology.
Rail Gun Basics
A rail gun is basically a large electric circuit, made up of three parts: a power source, a pair of parallel rails and a moving armature. Let's look at each of these parts in more detail.
This content is not compatible on this device.
The power supply is simply a source of electric current. Typically, the current used in medium- to large-caliber rail guns is in the millions of amps.
The rails are lengths of conductive metal, such as copper. They can range from four to 30 feet (9 meters) long.
The armature bridges the gap between the rails. It can be a solid piece of conductive metal or a conductive sabot -- a carrier that houses a dart or other projectile. Some rail guns use a plasma armature. In this set-up a thin metal foil is placed on the back of a non-conducting projectile. When power flows through this foil it vaporizes and becomes a plasma, which carries the current.
Here's how the pieces work together:
An electric current runs from the positive terminal of the power supply, up the positive rail, across the armature, and down the negative rail back to the power supply.
Current flowing in any wire creates a magnetic field around it -- a region where a magnetic force is felt. This force has both a magnitude and a direction. In a rail gun, the two rails act like wires, with a magnetic field circulating around each rail. The force lines of the magnetic field run in a counterclockwise circle around the positive rail and in a clockwise circle around the negative rail. The net magnetic field between the rails is directed vertically.
Like a charged wire in an electric field, the projectile experiences a force known as the Lorentz force (after the Dutch physicist Hendrik A. Lorentz). The Lorentz force is directed perpendicularly to the magnetic field and to the direction of the current flowing across the armature. You can see how this works in the diagram below.
Notice that the Lorentz force is parallel to the rails, acting away from the power supply. The magnitude of the force is determined by the equation F = (i)(L)(B), where F is the net force, i is the current, L is the length of the rails and B is the magnetic field. The force can be boosted by increasing either the length of the rails or the amount of current.
Because long rails pose design challenges, most rail guns use strong currents -- on the order of a million amps -- to generate tremendous force. The projectile, under the influence of the Lorentz force, accelerates to the end of the rails opposite the power supply and exits through an aperture. The circuit is broken, which ends the flow of current.
Problems with Rail Guns
In theory, rail guns are the perfect solution for short- and long-range firepower. In reality, they present several serious problems:
- Power supply:Generating the power necessary to accelerate rail gun projectiles is a real challenge. Capacitors must store electric charge until a sufficiently large current can be accumulated. While capacitors can be small for some applications, the capacitors found in rail guns are many cubic meters in size.
- Resistive heating: When an electric current passes through a conductor, it meets resistence in the conductive material -- in this case, the rails. The current excites the rail's molecules, causing them to heat. In rail guns, this effect results in intense heat.
- Melting: The high velocity of the armature and the heat caused by resistive heating damages the surface of the rails.
- Repulsion: The current in each rail of a rail gun runs in opposite directions. This creates a repulsive force, proportional to the current, that attempts to push the rails apart. Because the currents in a rail gun are so large, the repulsion between the two rails is significant. Wear and tear on rail guns is a serious problem. Many break after a few uses, and sometimes they can only be used once.
Rail Gun Applications
Rail guns are of particular interest to the military, as an alternative to current large artillery. Rail gun ammunition, in the form of small tungsten missiles, would be relatively light, easy to transport and easy to handle. And because of their high velocities, rail gun missiles would be less susceptible to bullet drop and wind shift than current artillery shells. Course correction would be important, but all missiles fired from rail gun artillery would be guided by satellite.
It would be more difficult to engineer small arm rail guns, mainly because of recoil. Recoil, the backward action of a firearm upon discharge, is determined by the momentum of the escaping projectile. Multiplying a projectile's mass by its velocity yields its momentum, which for high-velocity rail gun projectiles would be considerable. A portable rail gun that fires very small bullets may be the solution. A small bullet would limit recoil but still carry enough kinetic energy to inflict serious damage.
Rail guns have also been proposed as important components of the Strategic Defense Initiative, popularly known as Star Wars. Star Wars is a U.S. government program responsible for the research and development of a space-based system to defend the nation from attack by strategic ballistic missiles. Rail guns could fire projectiles to intercept the incoming missiles. Some scientists argue that rail guns could also protect Earth from rogue asteroids, by firing high-velocity projectiles from orbit. Upon impact, the projectiles would either destroy the incoming asteroid or change its trajectory.
Rail guns have some interesting non-military applications as well. For one thing, they could potentially launch satellites or space shuttles into the upper atmosphere, where auxiliary rockets would kick in. On bodies without an atmosphere, such as the moon, rail guns could deliver projectiles to space without chemical propellant, which requires air to function.
Rail guns could also be used to initiate fusion reactions. Fusion occurs when two small atomic nuclei combine together to form a larger nucleus, a process that releases large amounts of energy. Atomic nuclei must be traveling at enormous velocities for this to happen. On the earth, some scientists propose using rail guns to fire pellets of fusible material at each other. The impact of the high-velocity pellets would create immense temperatures and pressures, enabling fusion to occur.
Many of these applications remain in the realm of theory, experimentation and development. Current rail guns do not generate sufficient energies to enable nuclear fusion to occur, for example. And it will likely be 2015 before an all-electric battleship uses a rail gun to launch projectiles at an enemy.
Still, the technology is promising. In 2003, the British Ministry of Defense hosted a one-eighth-scale test of an electromagnetic rail gun that achieved a muzzle velocity of Mach 6, or approximately 2,040 meters per second.
With continued successes such as these, the rail gun may one day be the weapon of choice on the battlefield and the propellant of choice on the launch pad.

After only a few months since my last trip to see Tereza, I've made my return to Prague.
You can read all about the food I ate the first time around here, and more about the sights we saw here.
This time, we went to a few of the same places, such as Charles Bridge and Cafe Louvre for Brunch, alongside some new places we missed last time.
During this second Prague adventure, there were also a few new things I learnt.
Number 1: There's a historic reason I found the toilet paper pretty rough…
During the times of Communism basic supplies such as toilet paper were often hard to obtain.
Controlled by the state, many people would have to resort to using newspaper to wipe their bits.
Inside the Museum of Communism (which I recommend heading to for some amazing insight about the regime), there was a quote on the wall along the lines of:
"It doesn't matter if we have no toilet paper, because we have no food anyway!"
This information put in to context, for me, why I always find the toilet paper particularly harsh when I've been to Prague. In more recent years than you realise, they were using either nothing or newspaper, making the 3ply coconut oil saturated stuff we use in the UK seem extremely luxe in comparison.
Number 2: There's Restaurant where the staff are encouraged to be rude!
During this visit, we went for our evening meal at a Medieval Restaurant close to Prague Castle.
"Brabantský král" is the oldest, almost nonstop opened tavern in Prague and with a rich history behind it, it's clear to see why.
From 1375, when it was opened, kings and smugglers and coming here. It is said that czech kings used secret passages to get drunk and forget their problems about Czech land. Magister Kelly and Arcimboldo, Jaroslav Hašek and Karel Čapek, Mozart and Ondřej Soukup were drinking here.
To keep the experience authentic, the staff are encouraged to be a little bit 'blunt'.
Slamming drinks down, being abrupt and telling us to 'use our hands' when we asked for a side plate…
The only issue we had was whether or not we should tip, as despite not being the 'best' service, they certainly provided the experience expected of them.
Number three: The Charles Bridge is not only beautiful, but also has mathematical significance.
Last time we went to Prague we avoided the Charles Bridge as much as possible. Every time we went near it, there were swarms of people and to be frank, you couldn't enjoy the experience, or even attempt to look in detail at the statues across the bridge.
Stopping over the bridge and also during less touristy months allowed us to actually enjoy Charles Bridge this time though! Upon researching more detail about it, we also found the following information:
Charles IV laid the first stone of this famous monument at 5.31 am on July 9, 1357. The notoriously superstitious king was into astrology and numerology, and chose this date because of its written form: 1-3-5-7-9-7-5-3-1 (year, day, month, time). Add this information to the stunning views and saintly statues, and Charles Bridge is clearly a required item on any list of what to see in Prague.
The full list of places we visited this time (and would recommend):
- Museum of Communism
- National Monument at Vítkov
- Cafe Louvre
- Prague Medieval Tavern
- Torture Museum (Křižovnické nám. 1,) it's worth noting that there are three torture museums, and we went
inthe other main one which wasn't as good as this. So definitely choose this one amongst the others. It's cheaper and has more stuff.

Little Johnny replied, "I'm looking at the most powerful liquid in the world." The Priest said, "But Johnny, Holy Water is the most powerful liquid in the world. Did you know that if you put Holy Water on a pregnant woman's belly, she will pass a boy!" Little Johnny said, "Big deal! This is turpentine. If you put this on a cat's ***, he'll pass a Harley Davidson!"

The entire NAACP family extends sincerest sympathy to the family of Herb Henderson and seeks to recognize and honor his dedicated work as former Association General Counsel and long-time leader of the West Virginia State Conference. Henderson died Tuesday evening at Cornerstone Hospital in Huntington, W.VA. He was 78.
"Herb Henderson was an NAACP stalwart who served in many, many ways," said NAACP National Board of Directors Chairman Julian Bond. "He never claimed credit or boasted, but was always ready to let his works serve for him. His life was dedicated to the pursuit of social justice, and he will be much missed."
As a young man Henderson enrolled in the U.S. Army and attended West Virginia State College. By 1958 Henderson had became the first African American graduate of the George Washington University Law School, which he completed in less than three years. He served as the Interim NAACP General Counsel in 1984, 1989 and 1990 and was president of the West Virginia State Conference of the NAACP for 20 years.
"This is not only a great loss to the African American community, but to all the citizens of West Virginia," said former NAACP West Virginia State Conference President James Tolbert who succeeded Henderson. "He was the one that represented the NAACP in the state through the '60s. He was very firm in pushing for equality and civil rights, made no compromises and did more to advance the NAACP in West Virginia than anyone. He took that work very seriously."
Henderson was the 1995 recipient of the NAACP William Robert Ming Advocacy Award, given to an individual in the legal profession who exemplifies the spirit of financial and personal sacrifice that Ming displayed in his legal work for the NAACP. [Ming was one of the architects in strategizing Brown v. Board of Education and other landmark decisions.] Henderson's legal victories included the desegregation of Marshall University, the opening of service to all at White Pantry and Bailey's Cafeterias and a case that won the ability for black women to become state troopers in West Virginia.
In his community, Henderson assisted in securing scholarships for black law school students, was active in the Mountain State Bar Association and attended every West Virginia and national NAACP convention until falling ill this past summer. Among his many honors are the Justitia Offi cium Award, the highest honor of the West Virginia University College of Law; the T.G. Nutter Award from the West Virginia NAACP; and entrance into the National Bar Association Hall of Fame in 1998.
Visitation with the family will occur Sunday (Oct. 21) from 5-8 p.m. at Hall's Funeral Home located at 625 State Route 775 in Proctorville, Ohio. Henderson's funeral will be held Noon, Monday (Oct. 22) at the First Baptist Church located at 801 Sixth Ave., Huntington, W.Va. 25701. Memorial contributions can be made in the name of Herbert H. and Maxine D. Henderson to the West Virginia State University Scholarship Fund, 711 & 1/2, Fifth Ave., Huntington, W.Va. 25701.
Founded in 1909, the NAACP is the nation's oldest and largest civil rights organization. Its members throughout the United States and the world are the premier advocates for civil rights in their communities, conducting voter mobilization and monitoring equal opportunity in the public and private sectors.

If you seek to find a place in God's work, join us in serving those in need.
The people of St John's have been given the opportunity to serve lunch at Morningstar Mission (MSM) on the 2nd Saturday of every month throughout the remainder of this year and into next year.
How it works:
Four or five people will leave St John's at 10:30 am and arrive at MSM at 10:45 am. We will have our St John's aprons with us and the mission will supply us with latex gloves and hairnets. They will explain the procedure as follows" at 11:00, the male residents of the mission are served. At 11:30, the women and children residents are served . At noon, the doors will be opened to the less fortunate in the surrounding community. (FYI: some of the male residents have been up since 3:00 am preparing food for breakfast, lunch and dinner for approximately 150-200 people. These men are truly awesome and you will leave admiring their dedication!) You will be back at St John's by 1:30 at the latest. Serving at MSM is a heartwarming experience. Everyone who has served has been touched by these people and leave with the knowledge that they have given hope to the hurting.
What we would like:
Twelve people who would serve as captain, one for each month, and would be responsible for getting the four people to serve. That is just one time a year. How to volunteer: There is a new sign up sheet on the outreach bulletin board.
Please sign up.
It is an honor to serve the less fortunate of our community. If you are not a member of St John's, we'd love to have you join us. Just email us with your name and date (2nd Saturday of the month) and we will get back to you.

How to Return a Used Car to CarMaxby Stephanie Jenkins
CarMax is a company that sells used cars and some new vehicles at select locations. There are more than 100 CarMax stores are in the United States and vehicles can be transferred between locations. If you've recently purchased a car from the company but decided that you don't like it or that the vehicle doesn't fit your current needs, the option of returning the car could be available to you.
Determine your eligibility
Step 1
Ensure that you still have the option of returning the car. You have five days following the purchase of your used car to take it back to CarMax for a full refund. In addition, CarMax advises that the company's salespeople won't attempt to convince you to purchase another car when you make the return.
Step 2
Inspect your car. Look for scratches and dents that weren't there when you initially purchased the vehicle. The company will only accept the used car and give you a full refund if the vehicle is in the same condition it was in when you bought it. In other words, if you backed your car into a pole two days after you purchased it, the money-back guarantee does not apply.
Return your car to CarMax. There are no mileage restrictions for returning the used vehicle, according to a CarMax sales representative. Ensure that you have proper identification and the documents you received on the date of purchase. If another person's name appears on the purchase agreement, you must take that person with you to receive a refund. Complete all necessary paperwork to return the vehicle. CarMax issues refunds in the form of a check that you will receive on the day you return the car to the dealer.
- If you don't return the used car within the five-day return period, you can still sell the car back to CarMax. Be advised that you will not get the same amount you paid for the vehicle.
Items you will need
- ID card
- Purchase documents

The Gender Pay Equity Movement Goes International
The national and international spotlight on pay equity is getting brighter by the day. By way of illustration, this post explores two laws that took effect on January 1, 2018, one in California and one in Iceland, and a wage equity ordinance in Philadelphia that is currently being challenged on constitutional grounds. These are just examples of the much larger trend at the local and state level in the United States, as demonstrated by the Fisher Phillips Pay Equity Map. This trend can be seen around the world as more countries introduce some form of pay equity measures. Overall, the major question that all companies should be thinking about is: does the salary reflect the job position, not the person who is filling the position?

Director of The B1M Fred Mills has picked up a prestigious construction award.
Mills, who is also Procurement Manager at construction firm Osborne, took home the Achiever of the Year gong at the Constructing Excellence in London and the South East Awards.
According to Osborne's official website, Mills' two years at the company demonstrate clearly why he was picked as the award winner. Since his appointment as Bid Manager, the corporation enjoy a one in three success rate in regards to bids, as opposed to the one in eight statistic three years ago.
Fred's thought-leader status within the Building Information Modelling sector is also a clear reason as to why he was chosen to be Achiever of the Year. The B1M's collaborative platform has provided many BIM enthusiasts with a way to interact with others in a way not many others have been able to replicate.
No one was more delighted about the news than Rennie Chadwick, Director of Design & IT at Osborne. He said:
"All of us at Osborne are extremely proud of what Fred has achieved in his time with us. We are all delighted to see Fred receive this level of recognition. It proves that when you combine hard work, technical expertise and enthusiasm with vision, innovation and a desire to help others succeed, great things happen."

Andrew Heffernan and eight unlicensed individuals will have to wait until next Friday to know their fate following a British Horseracing Authority disciplinary panel hearing over breaches of the rules of racing.
Ten days had been set aside for the hearing which began on Monday at the BHA's head office in London, but it concluded in just four.
Heffernan has been charged with communicating for reward information to betting exchange account holders over the prospects of horses he was riding in races, and unlicensed individuals acted on that information.
He is also charged with failing to ensure a horse ridden by him ran on its merits.
Among those also facing corruption charges are three footballers in Ipswich Town's Michael Chopra, former Manchester United player Mark Wilson and Doncaster Rovers winger James Coppinger.
The other five names are Yogesh Joshee, Paul Garner, Kelly Inglis, Douglas Shelley and Pravin Shingadia.
Chopra released a statement earlier this month revealing he could not afford to defend himself at the hearing and would welcome a ban so he could overcome a gambling addiction problem.
He, along with Garner, Joshee, Shelley and Wilson, have also been charged with offering bribes to Heffernan.
The BHA will make no comment regarding the hearing until the result and reasons are published, and will provide no indication as to which of the defendants did or did not attend the hearing.
The result of the hearing is expected to be published, with full written reasons, next Friday.
Any necessary penalty hearings will also be heard on this date, with penalties to be published later that afternoon.
Reasons for penalties will then follow in due course.

Krusher's Edge
By Igor Frank
Light heavyweight kingpin, Sergey Kovalev doesn't have a way with words and it is not because English is his second language. He would just rather act than talk. What Sergey does have a way with are his fists. Aside from having a solid skill set Kovalev just doesn't hold back when he is inside the squared circle. And he doesn't hold back when asked a question like what about unification bout with Adonis Stevenson?
"He is a piece of shit, "said Kovalev during Wednesday morning international media telephone conference call.
What about a rematch with his latest victim Jean Pascal?
"I want to kick his ass again and much, much bigger this time," replied Kovalev, 32:" If it will happen rematch, he will sleep in four rounds because he is a piece of shit."
The good news is that Kovalev will probably fight undefeated super middleweight king, Andre Ward sometime next year.
"We have been talking to Andre Ward's people all week," confirmed Sergey's promoter, Kathy Duva:" We all agree the fight is going to happen; it is just a matter of when. That fight should happen by the end of next year. Sergey wants to fight the best. The best fighting the best is what people want to see. We want to complete that deal in the foreseeable future."
What people want to see is a brutal knock out, which will most likely be the outcome on July 25th, 2015 when Sergey "Krusher" Kovalev(27-0-1,24KO'S) will step inside the ring to defend his titles against a mandatory challenger from France, Nadjib Mohammedi(37-3,23KO'S). HBO will televise this clash live from Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas.
Kovalev is a huge betting favorite and you would be hard pressed to find an expert that would give the challenger any chance not just to win, but to be able to go full twelve rounds in this contest. So why would fans want to endure summer heat in Las Vegas to see this bout?
"It is the same thing that makes fans wants to watch Mike Tyson or Gennady Golovkin," said promoter Kathy Duva:" Fans want to see knockouts. This is a blood sport. Sergey brings all of that. Sergey is a bad, bad man. He's got that edge and that danger to him. My barometer has always been when I get excited myself to watch a fighter after the thousands of fights I have seen. I still get excited when Sergey fights."
Indeed," Krusher" is a bad man. I think that squared circle is his true salvation. It wasn't that long ago when he fought on club shows for peanuts. So he is very grateful to be where he is at andhHe is not going to overlook any opponent.
"I have three titles and I have the opportunity to defend it against Mohammedi,' said Kovalev: "He deserves this fight. He is #1. He is very motivated. When a boxer is motivated or any man is motivated it makes him very dangerous."
Thirty two year old bad-ass from Russia has just resigned a lucrative contract with HBO. With a new born son, a welcome addition to his family that recently moved to Los Angeles, Sergey has extra added pressure to look impressive against Mohammedi on July 25th.
"I can say that I will kick his ass," assured Kovalev.

I started off by sheer fluke-being in the right place at the right time with the right people knowing the right people etc etc etc! Even if singing professionally had always been a dream I'd never taken it seriously because I thought I would never have what it takes!! So any aspirations were never really followed through until the opportunity really presented itself through Larry Pignagnoli and Off Limits.
Actually until you brought this to my mind I'd never even considered the fact that structurally and cinematographically the two videos were similar! I remember perfectly the "sledge video" (love Peter Gabriel!) and my movements are in fact very similar - but I think the similarity ends there: 2 times is a little more play - about and very much more colourful – maybe lyrically the intention and message is similar - I don't know - let me keep you posted on that one!.
I was basically just trying to get by really-working with an orchestra (not liking it too much as "musica liscio" or ballroom dance music is not totally my scene! It was great doing choral work every so often with Larry but until 2 Times came along it wasn't exactly paying the rent!
There is no point in working so hard (even if what I do seems a breeze - and I know that I'm very lucky) if you can't enjoy the fruits of your labour! I'd recently bought a house here in Italy (well - a wreck of a house - it was practically rebuilt!) and then decide to plan for a child: my son was born in 2005 and for the first two years of his life I knew it was fundamental for him to have his mum around practically 24/7-hence the long pause: I would never have never given him to a nanny to go on tour - in my opinion the two just don't mix - having said that,some mums just have to but I was lucky enough to have some time off - and I'd certainly do it again if necessary..
From 2005 to 2007 there was an explosion of demos kinda "lying in wait" at the studio - what I mean is that we were all writing material and testing it out on our various artists - so towards the end of 2006 there was a suprising amount of material to choose from: I wanted to involve as many writers as I could but also I chose the songs on the simple basis that if I liked them I'd have them! Some pieces were elaborated for me by others, some were adapted by me and others were just fine as they were! For me the end result was a very satisfiying album mirroring a grown up Ann Lee! In fact seeing as Ann Lee had been away for what seemed like a life - time but infact wasn't, I decided to call the LP SO ALIVE so that I could get across the fact that I AM so alive!!!
Probably not - almost certainly not - I wanna get working on new material-after all SO ALIVE was released in 2007 - two and a half years ago! WOW how time flies!!...
Without hesitation I can say Moonlight Dancing written by Diane Warren for Bette Midler on Broadway-brilliant! After that come Just An Hour - great lyrics and a great "Madonna-like" mix!.
I don't know if the song has a specific story behind it or if it comes from any personal experience - the song was written for me by others. There may be a video but I honestly couldn't tell you at this point!.
I'm always trying out new stuff so anything specific or actual release dates shouldn't be too long!.
My son is obviously the very best I've become a much better person since he's been around!.
I have some really good friends from the Bergamo area (a city near to Milan) who always stand by me but never tell me only what I want to hear - that just wouldn't be right would it! I think they know more about my music than I do!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have no idea about future projects at the moment - what I DO know is I'm keeping my fingers crossed that:
a) there will be many;
b) that they involve singing writing and performing;
c) that there are still people around who want to work with me and believe in me!.
The thing I hate most – and what has always made me angry is a lack of punctuality: those who make it a habit of not arriving at a place or at an appointment on time, 9 times out of 10 show general disinterest and lack of respect towards others - not nice! I also hate liars thieves and disonesty (as do most of us).
LIVE LIFE, REGRET NOTHING, LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKES, HAVE FAITH –and obviously- WATCH THIS SPACE - ANN LEE IS STILL AROUND AND STILL NEEDS YOU ALL!....THANKYOU XXXXX.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Music and animals paraded in Upper Manhattan Sunday to celebrate Three Kings' Day.
The parade, sponsored by El Museo de Barrio, was held in Inwood Sunday morning. New York City Councilman Robert Jackson (D-7th), state Sen. Adriano Espaillat (D-New York), and Fernando Mateo of Hispanics Across America dressed as the Three Kings.
The celebration is a Hispanic tradition, marking the day Christians believe the three wise men paid tribute to the Baby Jesus.
"Three Kings Day, from a historical perspective, is where you give children gifts after they lay out their little notes they want in celebration of Three Kings Day," Jackson said.
Sunday marked the first Three Kings Day parade in Inwood. Organizers hope to make it an annual event.
Another parade was held on Friday at 106th Street and Park Avenue in East Harlem.

Here's what some major players are saying:

Tomatsu builds on world indoor silver with gold at Asia Cup in Bangkok
Seventeen-year-old Japanese archer Daisuke Tomatsu beat Thomas Chirault of France to recurve men's gold at the first stage of the 2018 Asia Cup in Bangkok, Thailand – his second major medal in less than a month after finishing second at the World Archery Indoor Championships in February.
"Since it was a silver at the world indoors, I really wanted to win the gold this time around," said Tomatsu. "But I'm still not satisfied. I will work hard to aim higher and finish in even better positions."
"Transferring from indoor to outdoor was a different feeling, but my coaches gave good advice and support and able to arrive in Bangkok in great condition, both mentally and technically."
Tomatsu (666) was the third-seeded archer in Bangkok, finishing just a point behind leader Chirault (667) over the 72-arrow 70-metre ranking round.
He knocked out two Olympians in the earlier rounds – Muhammad Nor Hasrin of Malaysia in the fourth pass and Indonesian archer Ega Agatha Riau in the quarterfinals.
Chirault started with a perfect 30-point set in the final, but then shot two 26s and two 27s for the last four; Tomatsu averaged 28 points a set, and took victory, 7-3.
The French archer did win mixed team gold with partner Melanie Gaubil.
Vietnam delivered a shock defeat to Russia in the compound mixed team final, but Alexander Dambaev secured individual men's gold.
India took the top spot in the compound women's event, courtesy Muskan Kirar, and the recurve women's competition – with Promilla Daimary defeating Natalia Erdynieva in the final.
The first stage of the 2018 Asia Cup ran 3-8 March in Bangkok, Thailand.

Lady Panthers gain momentum as volleyball season progresses
By TAYLOR GRAFFT
As the season progresses for the Liberty Hill Varsity Volleyball team, Coach Gretchen Peterson believes her team is headed in the right direction and is showing signs of progress as they gear up for District play.
"Overall, I feel like we are moving in the right direction," said Coach Peterson. "We are starting to play with the intensity and tempo that will be needed when district and playoffs start."
The biggest hurdle that the Panthers must battle is remaining consistent as they head into the bulk of their schedule against some of the tougher opponents.
"We are struggling right now with consistency," Peterson said. "But we are getting better at adapting and adjusting to our mistakes."
The Panthers have been a strong force offensively and have been communicating and passing the ball well this season. Coach Peterson believes that in order for the team to take the next step they must make defense a priority.
"We have to make defense a priority every time we step on the court in practice and in matches," she said. "Offensively, we are swinging well, but still go through times where we give too many unforced errors."
The Panthers have been forced to play without Madi Sharp for the last few matches and tournaments, but Coach Peterson believes that it's making the team mentally tougher.
"Mentally, we are getting tougher," Coach Peterson said. "Not having Madi has not been ideal. She brings a lot to the court, but we are really proud of how well the team has stepped up and assumed new roles, and not skipped a beat."
The Liberty Hill Panthers Varsity volleyball team traveled to Taylor High School on Friday, Sept. 6, and swept the Mustangs in three games. The team then traveled to Fredericksburg on Tuesday, Sept. 10, and defeated the Billies in a close five games (21-25, 25-22, 25-16, 22-25, 15-13).
In the match against Fredericksburg, the Panthers lost the first game 21-25 to the Billies. The Panthers came back strong and won the next two games 25-22 and 25-16.
With a 2-1 game advantage over the Billies, Liberty Hill struggled in a close fourth game and lost 22-25.
In the final game, the Panthers came out on top 15-13 through some spectacular play by their leaders.
Peyton Redmond led the Panthers with 14 kills, while Kallie Perrin led the team with 41 assists. Payton Walker led the Panthers with 15 digs and Jaycie Pluenneke led with four blocks. Redmond, Jill Green, Walker, and Hallie Supak all finished with one ace.
Liberty Hill will travel to Round-Top Carmine on Sept. 13 to take on the Cubs at 7 p.m. in their next match.

Medicine Hat Tigers' forward Ryan Hollweg was recently selected to the USA WJC team. Here are his thoughts on the upcoming tournament as well as some interesting things you may not have known about.
Hockey's Future: Take me back to draft day. Where were you when you heard you were drafted by the Rangers, and what was your reaction?
Ryan Hollweg: I was asleep actually. I got a call from my agent around 8 in the morning, he gave me the news then. I was so excited to be drafted by the Rangers because there is so much history involved in the club and it is great to be a part of it.
Hockey's Future: Were you disappointed being selected in the 8th round? Was there a certain area in the draft that you expected to be selected in?
Ryan Hollweg: Yes I was dissapointed that I was drafted in the 8th round. I thought I might of gone a bit higher than that. I was thinking around the 4th round but better late than never.
Hockey's Future: Talk about your game a little bit. What do you bring to the table?
Ryan Hollweg I am a 2 way player. I crash and bang and bury the puck when I have an opportunity and I am a pretty good playmaker.
Hockey's Future: What would you consider your strengths and weaknesses?
Ryan Hollweg: I am an all around player that can be used in any situation. I have to work on controlling my emotions. I am pretty intense and sometimes it gets me in trouble.
Hockey's Future: You had an excellent rookie tournament for the Rangers in Kitchener, Ontario in early September. What was the experience like and what do you think you learned from it, if anything?
Ryan Hollweg: It was a great experience. Your first pro camp is always so exciting, you don't really know what to expect but I had a great time. I learned that there are a lot of players in the Rangers organization and that if I ever want to have a chance to play then I have to out work all of my competitors.
Hockey's Future: How about training camp? What was that like while you were there?
Ryan Hollweg: Well besides all of the things that happened on Sep. 11, it was great. It was awesome being in the same room as guys like Lindros, Messier, Fleury, etc. The speed was unreal and it was a great experience.
Hockey's Future: When the Rangers sent you back to Medicine Hat, did they tell you anything specifically that you needed to improve on?
Ryan Hollweg: They told me that I have to work on my cardio a bit, so now I hop on the bike after every practice.
Hockey's Future: Do you follow the Rangers often? If so, what is your opinion of how the team is playing this season?
Ryan Hollweg: They are playing awesome this year. To me it looks like they are keeping things simple and playing with lots of intensity.
Hockey's Future: Here in New York, many of the fans who follow the World Junior Championships are very proud to have two players represent the Rangers on Team USA in you and Bryce Lampman. What are your goals for the upcoming tournament?
Ryan Hollweg: My goals are to represent my country to the best of my ability and of course bring home the gold medal.
Hockey's Future: Rangers assistant General Manager Don Maloney said you played very impressive during Team USA's evaluation camp in August. Do you think that is when you became a serious contender for a spot on the WJC roster, or do you feel it was your excellent play so far this season, or both?
Ryan Hollweg: I think it was both. I thought I had a very strong camp in August and turned some heads and got the team to notice me. And I think by the way that I have been playing also helped me out. I mean there is nothing special about how I play I just go out and give 110% every time I step on the ice and I get positive results from that.
Hockey's Future: This being your third season in Medicine Hat, how have you improved each year as you have gotten older? It's easy to see that you have put up more offensive numbers each year, but is there anything else you have improved on that the average junior hockey follower may not know about?
Ryan Hollweg: Well I have definitely improved on playing my role better. When I first came to the league I wasn't to sure what my role was, I mean obviously to score but over the years I have learned to be the complete player or at least play like that. To score, set up my linemates and hammer people.
Hockey's Future: Describe what it is like playing with Jay Bouwmeester, who is considered the top prospect for this year's 2002 NHL Draft. What is he like, how do you guys get along, and do you enjoy playing with him?
Ryan Hollweg: Jay is a great guy and a great team guy. He is an awesome defencemen and it is great being able to play with someone of his skill. Jay and I get along very well. There is no one on the team that doesn't get along with him. He is the most humble guy you will ever meet. He just wants to be one of the guys and nothing more.
Hockey's Future: Other than winning a gold medal at the WJC and winning the Memorial Cup championship, is there any other goals that you have set your eyes on for the remainder of the season?
Ryan Hollweg: My goals for the remainder of the season are to just focus on the things that have gotten me where I am right now and to improve every time I step on the ice.

YouTube Music
YouTube has been working on this concept for a while now and a beta version was initially released in 2015. According to the company's blog, YouTube Music, is a new music streaming service made for music with the magic of YouTube: making the world of music easier to explore and more personalized than ever."
YouTube Music also features a new AI that does something unique. The apps new feature called Your Mixtape will feature a collection automatically created from music compiled from favorite artists, songs frequently listened to, and new recommendations. The best part is it automatically downloads to your phone for offline listening.This means YouTube is all set to take on streaming giants like Apple Music and Spotify.
Effect on Streaming

The Queensland rental market remained constricted at the midway point of 2012, according to the latest Real Estate Institute of Queensland's residential rental vacancy rate survey. The REIQ June vacancy rates - compiled from surveying property managers from REIQ accredited agencies across Queensland - shows demand for rental properties is still exceeding supply in many parts of the State. As at the end of June, rental vacancy rates in many areas remained below 3 per cent, which is considered the equilibrium point of rental supply and demand.
"The first three months of the year are generally the busiest in the Queensland rental cycle so we often see vacancy rates particularly low during this period of time," REIQ CEO Anton Kardash said. "What our latest survey shows us is that demand for rental property remained strong at the end of June with vacancy rates generally remaining tight. While we are seeing an increase in the number of first home buyers and investors in the sales market, their activity will take some time to flow through to the rental market, which should ease some of this pressure on supply and rents we are now experiencing."

Black skin is thick and lush, sensuous to the touch, like satin and velvet made flesh. There's only one patch of skin on a white man's body that remotely compares to nearly every inch of a black man's skin. The first time I caressed black skin, it felt like a luxury I shouldn't be able to afford. I craved it more strongly than Carrie Bradshaw craved Manolo Blahnik shoes. That phrase, "Once you go black, you never go back" is all about the feeling of the skin.

Stanley F. Jide, CEO
Charles N. Chiefredo, COO
Bayo O. Mafe, CFO
BCS African Wholesale Food Supply Inc.
7340 Brooklyn Boulevard
Brooklyn Park, Minnesota 55443
Dear Messrs. Jide, Chiefredo, and Mafe:
We inspected your wholesale foods facility located at 7340 Brooklyn Boulevard, Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, on February 2 to March 3, 2010. The Minnesota Department of Agriculture inspected your same facility under contract with us on March 31, 2010, and on April 7, 2010. We found that you have serious violations of the seafood Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) regulation, Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 123, and the Current Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) regulation for foods, Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 110 (21 CFR 123 and 110). In accordance with 21 CFR 123.6(g), failure of a processor of fish or fishery products to have and implement a HACCP plan that complies with this section or otherwise operate in accordance with the requirements of Part 123, renders the fish or fishery products adulterated within the meaning of section 402(a)(4) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act), 21 U.S.C. § 342(a)(4). Accordingly, your uneviscerated smoked/dried fish (including Pike, Jack Cavalli, Bony fish and Kangbe fish), smoked fish and seafood (including smoked Herring Bloaters, smoked Barracuda, smoked Catfish, smoked Pike), and other various frozen and fresh fish (including snails, Red Snapper and Titus sardines) are adulterated in that they have been prepared, packed, or held under insanitary conditions whereby they may have been rendered injurious to health.
In addition, our investigators documented serious deviations from the GMPs relating to palm. oil, rice, beans, and other packaged food products, that cause the products being held and/or repackaged in your facility to be adulterated within the meaning of section 402(a)(4) of the Act [21 U.S.C. § 342(a)(4)] because they were prepared, packed, or held under insanitary conditions whereby they may have become contaminated with filth, or may have been rendered injurious to health.
You may find the Act, the seafood HACCP regulation, the Fish and Fisheries Products Hazards & Controls Guidance, and the Current Good Manufacturing Practice regulation for foods through links on FDA's home page at www.fda.gov .
Your significant violations were as follows:
1. You must conduct or have conducted for you a hazard analysis for each kind of fish and fishery product that you produce to determine whether there are food safety hazards that are reasonably likely to occur. Our investigator documented that your firm receives uneviscerated smoked dried fishery products that exceed 5 inches. FDA has determined that Clostridium botulinum is reasonably likely to grow and produce toxin in fishery products during the drying process when fish are uneviscerated; and that there is no process that would adequately control the hazard when fish are larger than 5 inches and are uneviscerated. Accordingly, your uneviscerated fishery products that exceed 5 inches in length are adulterated under section 402(a)(4) of the Act. If you had conducted a hazard analysis for these products, you would have rejected them.
2. You must have product specifications for your "bony fish," crayfish and tilapia that you import from Nigeria and China specifically to address the hazards of Clostridium botulinum growth and toxin formation and pathogen growth. You must have product specifications that are designed to ensure that the fish and fishery products you import are not injurious to health, to comply with 21 CFR 123.12(a)(2)(i).
3. You must implement an affirmative step to ensure that the "bony fish," crayfish and tilapia that you import from Nigeria and China were processed in accordance with the seafood HACCP regulation, to comply with 21 CFR 123.12(a)(2)(ii).
4. You must monitor sanitation conditions and practices during processing with sufficient frequency to ensure compliance with current good manufacturing practice requirements in 21 CFR Part 110 and 21 CFR 123.11(b). However, your firm did not monitor the eight areas of sanitation with sufficient frequency to ensure compliance with the current good manufacturing practice requirements in 21 CFR as evidenced by:
A. The condition and cleanliness of food contact surfaces [21 CFR 123.11(b)(2)] -- The metal saw used to portion fish was observed to contain food debris on 2/17/10 and 3/31/10.
B. The maintenance of hand washing, hand sanitizing, and toilet facilities [21 CFR 123.11(b)(4)] -- The hand sink in the processing room was clogged and slow draining on 2/24-25/10, and had no hand towels available on 3/31/ 10.
C. General maintenance of building, fixtures, and other physical facilities in sanitary condition and in repair sufficient to prevent food from becoming adulterated [21 CFR 110.35 (a)]. Several gaskets on freezers were missing or damaged, and there was debris along the walls on the south and east sides of the warehouse on 3/31/10.
D. The exclusion of pests from the food plant [21 CFR 111(b)(8)] -- On 3/31/10 there was a large crack between the floor and wall on the east wall of the facility and several dead insects and rodent droppings were behind the pallets.
E. Sanitation of food contact surfaces [21 CFR 110.36(d)]. On 3/31/10 the palm oil drums used in the rebottling of palm oil had food buildup inside and outside the drums.
We may take further action if you do not promptly correct these violations. For instance, we may take further action to seize your products and/or enjoin your firm from operating.
You should respond in writing within 15 working days from your receipt of this letter. Your response should outline the specific things you are doing to correct these violations. You should include in your response documentation such as HACCP and verification records, or other useful information that would assist us in evaluating your corrections. If you cannot complete all corrections before you respond, you should explain the reason for your delay and state when you will correct any remaining violations.
This letter may not list all the violations at your facility. You are responsible for ensuring that your processing plant operates in compliance with the Act, the seafood HACCP regulation (21 CFR 123) and the Current Good Manufacturing Practice regulation (21 CFR 110). You also have a responsibility to use procedures to prevent further violations of the Act and all applicable regulations.
Please send your reply to the Food and Drug Administration, Attention: Rebecca L. Caulfield, Compliance Officer, at the address on this letterhead. If you have questions regarding any issues in this letter, please contact Ms. Caulfield at (612)758-7194.

Some directors, for better or worse, have their last name turned into adjectives — Hitchcock-ian, Tarantino-esque, Lynch-ian. The upside to that is that an artist has a distinct style they can not only call their own but that also will be a point of comparison to future imitators.
The only problem with being made a descriptor is the underlying assumption that your work can be easily categorized. (With exceptions, of course — "The Straight Story," for example, is probably David Lynch's least Lynch-ian film, and there's not a whole lot that's Hitchcock-ian about Hitchcock's underrated 1941 screwball comedy "Mr. and Mrs. Smith.")
Director David Gordon Green isn't likely to spawn adjectives anytime soon, mainly because he makes films that fall into two very separate and distinct categories.
Also read: Director David Gordon Green: How Kickstarter, VOD Can Keep Indie Comedy Quirky
At the age of 38, he's a filmmaker whose résumé already runs the gamut from the quiet and elegiac "George Washington" to the violent and outrageously funny bromance "Pineapple Express." He's probably the only living filmmaker who could comfortably collaborate with both Terrence Malick (who produced Green's 2004 film "Undertow") and Judd Apatow (on "Pineapple").
In "Prince Avalanche," Green successfully marries his proclivities for both the wacky and the lyrical.
Set in 1980s Texas following a devastating forest fire, this oddball little gem follows two mismatched laborers assigned the Sisyphean task of repainting the yellow lines on the highway and installing reflector poles along the shoulder. For the driven and task-oriented Alvin (Paul Rudd), the job calls for discipline and allows him to embrace the solitude and the quiet of nature.
His new co-worker Lance (Emile Hirsch), the brother of Alvin's fiancée, chafes at the boredom and repetition of his duties, blathering on endlessly about the parties he'd rather be attending in the city. Their solitude is occasionally interrupted by a truck driver (veteran character actor Lance LeGault, who passed away last September), who shows up offering booze and sardonic wisdom.
The only other person Alvin and Lance encounter is a mysterious lady (Joyce Payne), who turns up at the strangest times, but her character is best left undescribed to avoid spoilers for the film, which so perfectly transitions from the hilarious testiness of the Lance-Alvin relationship to the bleak majesty of the burned-out Texas landscape. (Green shot the film outside of Bastrop.)
Rudd may be outfitted with dorky '80s eyewear and a mustache, but he's not playing the clown here, even though Alvin's puffed-up sense of self-importance is a balloon that's waiting to be popped. With an equal proclivity for success-poster aphorisms and hissy fits, he makes the perfect counterpart to whiny slacker Lance, who seems to resent any activity that doesn't directly lead to getting laid.
Like his co-star, Hirsch finds the subtle moments and grace notes that build a dramatic undertone to this comic character.
"Prince Avalanche" is a remake of an Icelandic movie ("Either Way"), but it's pure David Gordon Green, from its absurdist humor to its quiet, haunted landscapes. (David Wingo's delicate score enhances both the wit and the wonder.)
Now that he's blending his seemingly contradictory (but strangely complementary) interests and dramatic viewpoints into one coherent and compelling package, the writer-director may wind up creating a style of filmmaking that will one day be known as David Gordon Green-ian.

Are We There Yet?
Sooner or later, the question nearly every parent hears whined from the back of the car is, "Are we there yet?"
Physicians, saddled with convoluted EHR systems that impede their productivity and intrude on patient care, can be forgiven for asking the same question about healthcare digitization. Already it has been a long ride. The answer to them is, "No. Not nearly. Not yet."
Why aren't we doing better at fulfilling the promise of healthcare digitization and realizing a return on the nation's massive health IT investment? There are several parts to that answer. One relates to the government's involvement. For the past eight years, everyone has focused on meeting government-imposed requirements. For many, of necessity, this was about meeting the letter of the law, not the spirit. This essentially killed innovation as R&D budgets and deployments focused on meeting the specific requirements of Meaningful Use rather than innovating to improve the cost/quality of healthcare.
Secondly, we have to realize that using computers in medicine is necessary but not sufficient to achieve transformation. We cannot expect to see major benefits from computerization if we simply use computers to do the same things we would have done without them.
In order to realize the full potential of healthcare digitization, the industry must begin to rethink how it operates, given that records now are nearly entirely digitized. Getting this right is going to take time, creativity and some missteps. Within five to 10 years, we will be there – but we certainly aren't there yet.
