en | N/A | N/A | In a sport where athletes obsess over precise tolerances for power meters and smart trainers, it hardly makes sense doing workouts which aren't accurate. But when we compared the results of more than 30,000* 4DP power profiles to the assumptions FTP-based apps typically use to design workouts, our Sports Science Team found that FTP-based workouts can set targets which are inaccurate for up to 94% of athletes - a problem which training with 4DP avoids.
Ask any experienced cycling coach and they’ll tell you how important it is to base workouts on the full power profile of an athlete. And that's what The Sufferfest does. Using our 4DP methodology, your FTP efforts are based on your FTP, MAP are based on your MAP, AC on your actual AC and sprints are based on your NM. Every target is, therefore, automatically and accurately calibrated to your specific and unique abilities so you get the best training stimulus possible.
To do this, they rely on physiological norms—or sometimes just crude estimations—of what the average person’s MAP, AC and NM are relative to their FTP. They're setting all your workout targets above FTP on, essentially, a guess about what you can do.
FTP targets based on FTP will be accurate for all athletes….obviously.
AC targets based on FTP are inaccurate for 82% of athletes.
NM targets based on FTP are inaccurate for 94% of athletes.
Clearly, FTP is not an effective reference for efforts above threshold. Look at the data and examine the incredible ranges in MAP, AC and NM power that athletes can produce relative to FTP. We've put our 30,000 test results into an interactive graph for you to filter by age and gender.
The x-axis (horizontal) shows power generated by people in our sample as a percent of FTP.
The colored curves represent the spread of athlete ability, as a percentage of FTP, for five-minute (MAP - yellow), one-minute (AC - red) and five-second (NM - blue) efforts. You can see, for example, that some athletes can only manage NM efforts of 150% of FTP while others can hit 700% (Clearly showing the folly of having sprints set to 250% of FTP for everyone).
Let's get personal. What’s the range in performance for people with your FTP? Let's take a look.
Enter your FTP in the calculator below.
Enter your FTP and gender to see what users like you are capable of across Maximal Aerobic, Anaerobic and Neuromuscular Power.
Doing workouts based on FTP is old science. Those apps will tell you that everything is just fine as it is. But the world has moved on. You deserve the best fitness returns for the time you spend training. That means using the most advanced, accurate sports science available and using targets that precisely match what you can do.
* We analysed a sample of more than 30,000 tests from both male and female cyclists ranging in age from 18 to 82 years old. All files in the sample met specific criteria for inclusion, including the use of real power measurement (no virtual power), valid test results and other factors. Extreme outliers were removed from the sample.
** What is 'just right?' To give those workouts every benefit possible, our team assumed that a target set by a FTP-based workout was 'just right,' when the reference metric (i.e., FTP) multiplied by the generally accepted physiological norm (e.g., 120% for MAP) was +/- 5% of the athlete's actual capability. Power-profile based workouts like 4DP, of course, don't need such leeway since they can precisely target the athlete's actual ability. It’s also worth stating that we are talking about setting the actual target within a workout itself. A further part of the art and science of performance improvement is how close an athlete needs to come that target in order to get a training stimulus (e.g., the athlete does not need to hit exactly 100% of their AC in order to drive AC improvement). The acceptable range varies by the desired training stimulus, the energy system targeted, the intensity and duration of the effort as well as other factors. It goes without saying, however, that if the accuracy of the target itself is wrong, then any deviation from that incorrect target will take the rider even further from the desired training stimulus.
*** We use 5w 'buckets' for this analysis. So if you enter, say, 237w, we'll show you results for everyone with an FTP of 235-240w. We do this so competitors are not able to get a complete picture of how the power profiles break down in 1w increments. This does not significantly affect the relevance of the results for any particular individual. As well, while we have substantial data sets for most FTPs, extremely low or high numbers may have small populations. For this reason, the results shown may not capture the full range of human ability. |

Although many COVID-19 mandates are being rescinded, many governments continue to push and support the COVID-19 jab created by companies like Pfizer. The science has shown that both masks and lockdowns did very little to stop the coronavirus from sweeping the globe. This, with the backlash from the general public, has led to many states within America to start pulling back on the mandates and . Again, the narrative surrounding the COVID-19 jab hasn’t changed as the Biden administration and some key officials like Dr. Anthony Fauci support the drug. But unlike masks and lockdowns, the side effects from the jab narrative is having a way bigger impact that some might have though.
In the video below, Pearson Sharp, of One American News, detailed how the Office for National Statistics showed that children who were given the COVID-19 jab had a death rate 52 times higher than those who weren’t given the drug. What is even more startling about the data presented by Pearson was back in December, yet new outlets aren’t discussing it.

en | N/A | N/A | Mulberry Harbours at Rotherhithe's South Dock in the Second World War
During the Second World War South Dock's lock was badly damaged and could no longer be used for access from the Thames. As a strategic commercial target the docks had been targeted by German bombers and this was only one of many dock structures to be devastated. South Dock and Greenland Dock had independent lock entrances because they had been owned by separate dock companies, but when the two docks became part of the same company a cut was created to link the two, so access to South Dock was still possible via the Greenland Dock lock entrance. However, in 1944 there was a pressing need for dry docks for the construction of Mulberry Harbours, so the decision was made to cut off South Dock from Greenland Dock, to ready it for the construction of concrete sections of Mulberry units for the armed forces.

Arromanches Mulberry Harbour, from the
So what were Mulberry Harbours and why were they so important? "Mulberries" were designed to meet a logistical problem to an assault on the Normandy beaches that would make a profound difference to the outcome of the war. In 1942 the British attacked the heavily fortified town of Dieppe and were turned back. But if British troops were to be landed in France, some part of the French coast would have to be breached, and it was decided that the beaches of Normandy would be the best option. But there were two problems. First, any invasion would require huge numbers of men and heavy equipment, and with no infrastructure in place to receive, unload, process and supply the invasion, and the difficulties inherent in capturing a suitable port posted a potentially massive problem. Second, troops and supplies were to be landed directly on the beaches but the coastline of Normandy featured long and shallow inclines, meaning that at low tide boats could not approach near enough to the shore to offload their cargoes. But these was the sort of problems that the armed forces were expert at solving. Churchill had had a similar idea in 1917 to cope with the capture of two islands in the Danish-Dutch seas, but the man usually credited with the idea of the Mulberry Harbours is Hugh Iorys Hughes whose brother Commodore John Hughes-Hallet presented it to the Navy. Whoever it was who came up with the idea, it was concluded that if a harbour could not be captured, then a harbour should be built, transported and then installed wherever it was needed. These were the Mulberry Harbours.

Mulberry Harbours were modular units which, when assembled, could be used to create temporary harbours along the Normandy coast. They consisted of pier-heads (known as "spud-pontoons"), piers ("whales"), inter-linked concrete pontoons "beetles"), caissons to form breakwaters ("phoenixes") and in-shore shelters provided by ships forming a barrier (gooseberries). There is a brilliant description of how all these elements fit together on Chris Bridges's "Mulberries and Gooseberries" page, together with some super illustrations. Floating pontoons were placed at 80ft intervals between the pier-head (where boats would dock) and the beach and carried the 80ft-long piers (whales) that formed floating roads that allowed people and cargo to be unloaded onto the shore. As the tide raised and fell, so too did the floating moorings, allowing ships to moor and offload, even at low tide. 146 caissons were required to form 9.5kms of breakwater to protect both the piers and the ships, each 60 metres long, 18 metres high and 15 metres wide. The breakwaters formed by Phoenix units, more or less parallel to the piers, and the sheltering barrier of ships called gooseberries formed protecting arms to emulate a true harbour.

Chris Bridges. Mulberries and Goodberries. http://www.hksw.org/despatches_107_1_a.htm
After various experimental prototypes were tested, two Mulberries were assembled for deployment: Mulberry A at Omaha beach, and Mulberry B at Arromanches, each with an intended capacity of 7000 tons of vehicles and supplies a day.

From the war44.com website
Different parts of the Mulberry Harbours were manufactured in different places (much as the Airbus is today), transported to a distribution hub and were later assembled where they were needed. This was because of the sheer amount of work involved, described evocatively on the Combined Operations Command website: "The scale of the project was enormous and was in danger of over-stretching the capacity of the UK's civil engineering industry. From late summer of 1943 onwards three hundred firms were recruited from around the country employing 40,000 to 45,000 personnel at the peak. Men from trades and backgrounds not associated with the construction industry were drafted in and given crash courses appropriate to their work. Their task was to construct 212 caissons ranging from 1672 tons to 6044 tons, 23 pier-heads and 10 miles of floating roadway."

The component that was manufactured at South Dock was the caisson, or Phoenix, used to form the breakwaters. The contract for building twelve Phoenix B sections in Rotherhithe was given to John Mowlem, a civil engineering company, in late 1943. The Phoenix units were airtight cases made of concrete and steel that were open at the bottom. Although they look fairly boxy, they were shaped at bow and stern ends to resemble barges on the grounds that they would have to be sea-worthy both when being towed and when in position. They were designed to float and were fitted with air-cocks so that they could be lowered evenly to rest on the sea-bed. Eight were to be built at South Dock, four at Russia Dock (also on Rotherhithe) as well as another six at East India Dock on the north of the Thames. South Dock was turned into a dry dock by Mowlems, who drained the dock, sealing it with a concrete barrier at the lock and blocking the cut that connected South Dock to Greenland Dock. The base of the dock was then covered with 6ft of rubble to ready it for the construction of concrete sections of the Mulberry units. South Dock must have been a strange sight with no water in it. The above photograph from the Imperial War Museum shows what the units looked like when under construction at South Dock. It is a truly spectacular scene! The photo has been taken the eastern edge of Rotherhithe, looking over the Phoenix units towards Greenland Dock, which is still filled with water and has a ship in dock. The sheer number of cranes that serviced both docks is impressive - many of the crane tracks still exist but there's nothing like seeing a photograph of what it was all like in action.
Surviving Phoenix units at Portland Harbour
On the 17th March 1944 the Phoenix sections under construction at South Dock had all been completed. Steelyard Cut, which still links South Dock with Greenland Dock, was re-opened, the dock was refilled via Greenland Dock, and the Phoenix sections were floated out first through the cut, with only 9 inches of clearance and then out onto the Thames through Greenland Dock's entrance lock, and transported downriver and out to British coastal destinations. Each was fitted for the journey with a small crew, a temporary cabin and an anti-aircraft gun, which came into use when a German bomber flew low to take a closer look and was fired upon. Many of the caissons were initially sunk to hide them from German spy planes, and were re-floated, with some difficulty, when ready for deployment in France.

Invasive therapy, such as intrathecal drug delivery, was not allowed. Afor developing the protocol (available at ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT01162993). The study was performed at the outpatient painUMC+ and the institutional review board of the Radboud UMCstudy procedures and outcomes.
Lead Placement, Trial Stimulation, and Criteria for Permanent SCS Implantation
In addition, we measured pain characteristics, HRQoL, pain interference with sleep, sleep quality and quantity, mood, and registered medication use at all time points.
HRQoL was measured with the EuroQol five dimensions (EQ-5D) (20). In this instrument, a utility score can be computed for each of five health states, based on preferences from a general population in the U.K., i.e., the U.K. tariff (21). Additionally, patients can rate their current health on a visual analog scale (22). In addition, the Medical Outcomes Study SF-36 (MOS SF-36) (23,24) was used to evaluate patients’ perceived health state, which is composed of 36 questions and standardized response choices, organized into eight multi-item scales that can be averaged to form two composite scores,patients who were randomized, even those patients without a postbaseline measurement. Dropouts were classified as failures for SCS. The efficacy analysis was a logistic regression of the difference between the SCS group and the BMT group in the proportion of patients with a success of treatment over the course of 6 months. For the PGIC score (dichotomized as a score of <6 or ≥6), there was no pretreatment data and therefore only. We performed a multivariats (age, sex, and MDNS score) on the primary outcome measure.
EQ-5D utility score and EQ-5D current health.
Seven out of 22 patients (32%) of the SCS group were able to reduce their pain medication, and for 2 of them, the SCS became the sole treatment for their PDPN pain. Twelve patients (55%) did not change their medication in combination with SCS treatment. Four patients (29%) in the BMT group reported an increased use of medication compared with baseline, and one patient changed to another category of neuropathic pain medication. In 9 out of 14 (64%) patients, medication use was unchanged as compared with baseline.
Complications and (Serious) Adverse Events
Serious adverse events were noted in two patients. Implantation of the lead for test stimulation was complicated by a dural puncture, causing a postdural puncture headache in one patient (male, 65 years of age). After conservative treatment was startedree days after the procedure, the headache suddenly increased and within minutes, the patient became unresponsive. T a CT scan showed a large subdural hematoma over the left hemisphere with a diameter of 26 mm, causing a midline shift of 19.8 mm. Despite immediate 10 days after surgery.
A Review studies report (41,42). The most common complications related to SCS are hardware related (lead migration, lead fracturing, connection failure, and discomfort), infection, subcutaneous hematomas, and cerebrospinal fluid leak (41–43). In our study, severe complications were noted in two patients (9%) during a period of 6 months following implantation. In one patient, an infection occurred 6 weeks after SCS system implantation, and the patient responded to antibiotic management and removal of the SCS system. In the second patient, however, a dural puncture during the trial phase resulted in postdural puncture headache and subsequent development of a subdural hematoma with lethal outcome. To the best of our knowledge, a subSCS. After extensive review of the literature, we found one case report of a subdural hematoma after an SCS implant, where the patient suffered from minor head injury within 24 h before dural tearing and showed full neurological recovery after emergent craniotomy (44). Although extensive examination of our patient’s record was performed, no predictors for this devastating serious adverse event could be found. Except for this lethal complication,literature (41–43). Nevertheless, given the invasive nature of SCS, our data underscore that SCS reduced pain but should be applied as a last resort treatment and only should be carried out in specialized centers by ag SCS treatment.

en | N/A | N/A | The plugin worked well for awhile, but with the advent of Turbolinks, the solution felt less and less appropriate. I’ve since settled on some techniques to not only handle page-specific Javascript, but overall organization and structure of Javascript within a Rails application. I’ve used it in a hand full of large applications over the past few months and it’s held up incredibly well.
Using “sprinkles” of Javascript throughout a Rails application can get unwieldly fast if we’re not consistent. What we ideally want is some techniques and guidelines that can keep the Javascript organized in our projects. We also don’t want to have to disable Turbolinks to make our application work as we expect.
Generally, javascript behavior can be boiled down to the following categories:
Behavior that’s “always on”
Behavior that’s triggered from a user action
But first, a few things to will help us stay organized…
I still like to scope the body element of the layout(s) with the controller and action name:
This not only let’s us control access to the DOM through jQuery if we need to, but also provides some top-level styling classes to allow us to easily add page-specific CSS.
In the case we’re working on the proverbial blog posts application, the body tag ends up looking like:
<body class="posts index">
This gives us the opportunity to scope CSS and Javascripts to all posts-related pages in the controller with the .posts class, or down to the specific page using a combination of both the controller and action: .posts.index.
Default Application Manifest
Here’s the default app/assets/javascripts/application.js:
I start by removing the line //= require_tree .. I do this because if you don’t, the javascript files in the folder will be loaded in alphabetical order. As you’ll see below, there’s an initialization file that needs to be loaded before other Javascript. We’ll also remove the comments from the top of the file to preserve space.
Let’s start by adding the file app/assets/javascripts/init.coffee with the following:
window.App ||= {}
$("a, span, i, div").tooltip
Let’s dig in to each pagef of this:
We’re creating the App object on window so the functionality added to the object is available throughout the application.
Next, we define an init() function on App to initialize common jQuery plugins and other Javascript libraries:
The call to $("a, span, i, div").tooltip() initializes Bootstrap Tooltips. This is an example of the type of libraries that can/should be setup here. Obviously, if you’re not using Bootstrap tooltips, you would haven’t this here, but coupled with the next line, we’ll see why this works.
As many have found out the hard way, when Turbolinks is enabled in a project, jQuery $(document).ready functions don’t get fired from page to page. In order to call the init() function on each page transition, we’ll hook in to the turbolinks:load event:
Note: the turbolinks:load transition is also triggered on the well known document ready event, so there’s no need to add any special handling for first page load.
Lastly, we need to add init.coffee to the asset pipeline:
“Always On” Javascript Functionality
Now with the defaults out of the way, let’s take a look at adding some behavior.
Let’s assume one of our pages will show a Javascript graph of data. We’ll start by adding a file with a name related to that responsibility.
# app/assets/javascripts/app.chart.coffee
class App.Chart
constructor: (@el) ->
# intialize some stuff
chart = new App.Chart $
A few things to note here…
You might notice the file takes the form:
While this may seem obvious, it’s an important point to keep in mind. I’ve found it offers a predictable structure that allows me to open any coffeescript file that we’ve written in the project and generally know where to look for what.
Turbolinks-Proof
We called this “Always On” functionality because, as you probably noticed, using the following event listener $(document).on "turbolinks:load", ->, we know with Turbolinks, this gets triggered on every page transition.
Add to Manifest
Because we removed the //= require_tree . line in the default application.js manifest file, we’ll have to add our chart file to be included in the asset pipeline (last line):
//= require app.chart
Page-Specific Javascript
Uh oh, so maybe we don’t want the graph to show up on every page! In this case, we’re looking for “Always On” functionality for specific pages ONLY.
We can limit the page pages certain functionality is loaded on by using the classes we added to the body of the layout. In this case, a small conditional to the invocation can prevent this being triggered on pages it shouldn’t be.
return unless $(".posts.index").length > 0
f = new App.Chart $
f.render
We added return unless $(".posts.index").length > 0 to make sure App.Chart never gets instantiated if we’re on the .posts.index page. While this may seem verbose, I’ve found that it’s not very common to need page-specific functionality. There are probably plenty of libraries that do something similar, like the one I previously suggested. However, to me, limiting javascript to a single page and very explicit when I read the code, it’s almost never worth dragging in a separate plugin for this. YMMV.
User-Triggered Javascript
“data-behavior” Attribute
Let’s assume there’s a link in the user’s account that allows them to update their credit card. In this case, we have the following:
<%= link_to "Update Credit Card", "#", data: { behavior: "update-credit-card" } %>
You’ll probably notice the data-behavior tag being added to the link. This is the key we’ll use to attach the Javascript behavior.
We could have added a unique class to the link:
<%= link_to "Update Credit Card", "#", class: "update-credit-card" %>
or, perhaps, even assign an ID:
<%= link_to "Update Credit Card", "#", id: "update-credit-card" %>
Both of these techniques don’t really indicate whether we added the update-card-card for the use of CSS styling, or to attach Javascript behavior. So in my applications, I leave classes for styling ONLY.
So now to the Javascript:
App.Billing =
$(document).on "click", "[data-behavior~=update-credit-card]", =>
App.Billing.update
We can use the selector [data-behavior~=update-credit-card] to latch on to the data-behavior tag we defined in the view. We use the on jQuery method to ensure that we’re listening to this event whether the element’s on the page or not. This is what allows us to load this Javascript when on other pages and have it still work when a user clicks through to the page with the actual link on it.
We could latch on to the change event, or whatever is appropriate to the element we’re adding behavior.
Again, because Javascripts assets we add to app/assets/javascripts won’t automatically be inserted in to the asset pipeline, we’ll add //= require app.billing to the manifest file:
//= require app.billing
Using the techniques above, we can keep the Javascript in our Rails applications organized and predictable. We can rest easy knowing the files will all generally look the same. There’s not been any uses cases where this structure hasn’t worked for me personally.
One thing that makes me feel good about this approach is there’s no real magic or extra plugins. It’s using all the tools we already have in a basic Rails application, which is one less thing to maintain and keep up to date. Less depedencies == less pain down the road. |

Back to VW, I didn't get the same kind of response when I asked some American friends of mine. They point to the Beetle, and use words like 'alternative, fun'.
Maybe that's why VW came up with the Fun Theory, which I love, but it just doesn't ring true to them for me. What it did though, is get people involved.
Now, though, they might have nailed it. Maybe the fun theory was just setting the grounds for this. The fast lane, (driven by fun)

en | N/A | N/A | After the long cold winter, any day of warm sunshine has quickly brought out the sprinklers, slip-n-slides, water balloons, and kiddie pools. Willamette Valley weather is all about the seasons, and just about everyone is ready for the summer season, even if it isn’t here yet. Nothing is quite as shocking as running through a sprinkler or jumping into water that feels like recent glacier-melt. Shocking screams of delight of all-too-eager children tells us that summer is just around the corner.
As the school year comes to its end, it can also be a shocking transition into summer. The days are longer and new schedules await. Even though the school commitment has ended, the summer season can be just as busy and certainly less routine. Deuteronomy 11:19 provides wise instructions regarding how families should spend their time. While part of this lifestyle is fulfilled daily through discipleship training at Crosshill, the most vital instruction occurs in the home. Just as daily Bible classes and weekly chapels are coming to an end, structured family devotions can easily vanish in the summer as new schedules begin.
Structured learning such as schooling and devotions have tremendous value, but of greater value is a lifestyle of learning. While the chaos of summer will be unpredictable at times, many families will have a few predictable changes. There will be more hours traveling together as a family. There will be more hours staying up late enjoying the nicer weather. There will be more adventures outside and less living room entertainment. All of these “spontaneous” activities will provide life-on-life modeling and mentoring as time is spent with our children.
Just as an unprepared Bible teacher or an unprepared Pastor would not be surprised if their teaching was ineffective, unprepared parents should be equally aware. Am I only prepared to talk with my children this summer about my interests? Or am I prepared to engage my children with their interests, getting down on my hands and knees (so to speak), investing my life into theirs? And am I spending quality time alone with God so that I can engage my children and their interests daily through a Christian worldview?
I am grateful for those at Crosshill who daily disciple my children. But as the school year comes to an end, and I consider this upcoming season, I realize that without intentionality in my parenting, my children may return in the fall fairly unchanged. If I’m not prepared, my parenting may be as shocking as getting sprayed unexpectedly by a cold garden hose, or randomly attacked by a wild water balloon. Just as the swimming pools will warm up and our bodies will acclimate, may we as parents warm up and acclimate our priorities to maximize all the opportunities this summer provides. |

There have been studies that attribute assigned grammatical gender with the ability to influence conceptualization (attributing gender attributes) of all nouns, thus affecting people's thoughts on a grand scale. We hypothesized that due to the influence of a grammatical gender system, French political discourse would have a large difference between the number of masculine and feminine nouns used. Specifically, we predicted there would be a larger ratio of feminine to masculine nouns in French political discourse than in non-political discourse when compared to English discourse.

en | N/A | N/A | Chinese tech firm Xiaomi, known mainly for making smartphones, is getting into the "smart" electric-vehicle (EV) business.
Xiaomi said it will initially invest RMB10 billion (US$1.5 billion) in a wholly-owned EV subsidiary. Over the next ten years, the company pledged to plow a total of U$10 billion into the business.
Lei Jun, Xiaomi CEO – and CEO of the newly-formed EV division – said iompany, and that he was willing to "put all my personal reputation on the line" to make the "Xiaomi electric vehicle" a success.
The CEO was at pains to stress that the EV commitment was not impulsive but taken "after numerous rounds of debates" among the executive team.
Lei Jun made the case that Xiaomi was well placed to get into the smart EV business, bringing to the table its "deep understanding" of the "hardware-based Internet service business model," along with know-how in software, AI and the Internet of Things.
Although Xiaomi makes most of its money from smartphones, it also hass.
While the skillset of the traditional automaker will need to expand into different areas that more readily overlap with tech firms' expertise, Lei Jun acknowledged that Xiaomi's own EV journey was likely to be a bumpy one.
Lei Jun ruefully pointed out that other key players have "," and that it has its work cut out to be an industry success.
Great Wall on board?
Although Great Wall has denied any talks with Xiaomi, one source cited by the news agency speculated that an EV partnership week.

There was a great range of presentations and speakers, and I in Dublin, which is only a matter of weeks away.
Although I was already involved in youth mental health research back in 2013, that conference certainly galvanised my efforts. There is massive unmet need in youth mental health, poor understanding of the causes, and real problem with stigma and discrimination. The IAYMH conference is a way to continue to address these issues – it brings together research experts with young people affected by mental ill health, and links clinicians to charities looking to support early intervention.

“I do find it interesting that, like many social institutions, public schooling began as a for-government-employees-only initiative that later expanded to include the full public.”
Agreed. What I find more interesting is that it was offered to rank and file soldiers in 1867 when the common soldier was usually cannon fodder or a general dogsbody, whereas officers were still from the more educated upper classes and there was not yet much upward mobility from the trenches to the war room. An educated army is much mnore modern necessity, but in 1867 an education was not a trait you wanted in your ranks of soldiers. The British class system was and is far more structured than ours, yet this seems advanced for the era.

Hmm – that’s a very good point. I’d be interested to poke around a little and find out what brought about the inclusion of education as a benefit for the common soldier – I wonder if it was considered a perk to increase enlistment. (Much as college/university is used as a carrot today.) |

It is the AI that allows an autonomous vehicle or an AMR (Autonomous Mobile Robot) to choose its path, to accelerate or slow down, or even to brake according to the situation. It is also the AI that allows a robot to converse with a person in a natural language facilitating the interaction.

Yet instead of first realizing we belong to God, we seek others to satisfy all our inner desires. We desire immediate gratification to have our emotional cup filled by various social means. Instead of first accepting our identity in Christ, we search for who we are through other social organizations. Whether the workplace, gym, school, bar, church, or non-profit mission, we may know God is out there someplace, but admittedly He is not the central core of our relationship. What this means is we are simply missing out in life’s greatest dance. |
en | N/A | N/A | Over the past five years Dundee City has been one of the council areas with the highest suicide rate in the whole of Scotland. The game takes place on a walk over the Tay Road Bridge, which is an infamous local landmark for those seeking to take their life.
The Longest Walk is a deeply personal biographical documentary walking simulator game about my father's experience of living with depression and suicidal thoughts. The game was created using audio recorded from a 54-minute-long interview that I conducted with my dad, which was then edited into this approximately 9-and-a-half minute long playable experience.
The aim for this game is to help reduce feelings of isolation and encourage those who are struggling with depression or experiencing suicidal thoughts to reach out for help. Through my father's sharing of his personal experience in an open and frank manner, this documentary game aims to raise awareness of and provide an insight into what it is like living with depression in order to provoke discussion and help tackle the stigma about opening-up about mental health issues.
Whilst my father's experience and the locations depicted in the game are specific to him, the thoughts, feelings, and message conveyed through his recollection of lived experience are universal.
This free documentary game is part of a series of biographical game prototypes that I am developing for my PhD at Abertay University - Funded by The Northwood Charitable Trust - and was inspired by games such as Dear Esther (The Chinese Room), Actual Sunlight (WZOGI), and That Dragon, Cancer (Numinous Games). This game is published under the Abertay Game Lab practice-based research group.

Now its 'new' commercial space because NASA and the US Military have contracted with commercial companies to launch satellites into orbit since the beginning of the space race. Those were cost plus contacts. Boeing, Lockheed, and McDonnell Douglas were among these companies, and they made up the establishment. In 1996 the X Prize put set up a competition for the first company to send 3 humans to suborbital heights twice in two weeks with the same craft. I have to say that back then the X-Prize foundation set up shop at the St Louis Science Center. Such a feat was not done by anyone including NASA and Roscosmos. That may sound strange, but orbital flight and flights to the moon were more important than suborbital flight in the 1960's space race. We're talking manned missions here. This would be a coup for reusable spacecraft. In 2004 Scaled Composites won. Its SpaceShipOne did 3 space flights that year. Mike Melvill was one of the pilots and was the first commercial astronaut pilot. The first was a test flight while the other two were for the prize. Instead of sending up 3 people, they had the pilot and the equivalent weight of two other bodies. SpaceShipOne and its mother ship WhiteKnight became the first totally reusable launch system since the X-15 and its B52 mother ship. After the win, Richard Branson contracted with Scaled Composites to make SpaceShipTwo and WhiteKnightTwo thus forming Virgin Galactic.
Masten Space Systems competed with Armadillo Aerospace in the Lunar Lander Challenge. They managed to win the level 2 prize. Now they are pursuing reusable suborbital launch rockets demonstrating VTVL technology. NASA has long used sounding rockets for research since the V-2 rocket. Those were single use rockets. NASA has been experimenting with these reusable rockets from both Armadillo and Masten in the last couple of years to present. The benefits of such vehicles are obvious. They supply multiple missions. I think of Masten and Armadillo as a type of rocket company that is contracted by other rocket and/or space companies rather than catering to the public. These guys seem small, but they are not to be underestimated. Once they mature the technology, space will never be the same.y design of their Dragon capsule and a family of rockets known as Falcon. They were going after the cost plus launch companies and a cheaper way to launch to orbit. At this time they received no government moneys. It wasn't until the X-Prize was won that NASA seriously looked at the new companies. XCOR came up with a space plane called Xerus around 2002. Now, they are touting a smaller suborbital space plane called Lynx. If and when the Lynx flies, it will be the first fully reusable commercial suborbital space plane in a single stage. Now XCOR has plans to use the old Space Shuttle landing strip in Cape Canaveral for the Lynx.
What's next for space competition? There a current competition, the Google Lunar X-Prize. This started in 2007. Watch these competitors. The idea is to put a rover or probe on the surface of the moon. Yes, commercial space is looking at the moon even if NASA is not. If all goes according to pattern, one or two teams will spearhead through and land taking the prize. Then contracts will emerge from NASA and other space companies.
When NASA got interested in this New Commercial Space, they started with a program that was designed to check out then new companies capabilities. This program was called Commercial Orbiting Transportation Services (COTS). It started in 2006 with SpaceX and Rocketplane Kistler. SpaceX proved their worthiness but Rocketplane Kistler was another story. It failed and put a black mark on commercial space. In its place, NASA elected Orbital Sciences. This company started in 1982 with the advent of the Pegasus air launched rocket. It seemed to be a bold attempt at making access to space cheaper at the time. Orbital still operates and sells launches with Pegasus and with other more traditional rockets. Orbital has had some setbacks. Now its fixing to launch its new Cygnus spacecraft and Antares rocket to satisfy COTS. Now NASA has SpaceX and Orbital. They also are hosting a competition for development of hardware for commercial companies to transport Astronauts to orbit in their Commercial Crew Development (CCDev) program. COTS, CRS, and CCDev are the programs that give money to the competing companies so far.
Well, that's the start of the New Commercial Space. It started with just dreams and private money and now NASA is helping out here and there. New companies are still being made and the market is likely to grow. Deep Space Industries wants to mine asteroids; Golden Spike wants to sell you a ticket to the moon; and Stratolaunch wants to air launch medium sized rockets. These were formed in 2011 and 2012. This is history in the making. This is rocket science and rocket business. I don't know which is more daunting. |

February 25, 2016 by MichaelS
Prefetching of data is known to improve performance for many applications. Through a combination of hardware and software, most modern systems include some level of prefetching of the data. By issuing data access before the data is actually required leads to reduced latency of memory access.
Prefetching on a coprocessor such as the Intel Xeon Phi coprocessor can be more important than on a main CPU such as the Intel Xeon CPUs. Since the cores on the Intel Xeon Phi coprocessor are in-order, they cannot hide memory latency as compared to an out-of-order CPU. In addition, since a coprocessor does not have an L3 cache, L2 misses must then access the slower memory subsystem.
There are two types of prefetch instructions on the Intel Xeon Phi coprocessor:
VPREFETCH1 – prefetches data from memory to L2
VPREFETCH0 – prefetches data from L2 to L1
Ideally, data should be prefetched from memory to L2 and from L2 to L1 before being used by the core. Thus, when the core needs the data, it is in the closest cache to the processor.
There’s more to come about prefetching in a future article, so stay tuned.ache, cache misses, Intel, Intel TEC, intel xeon, Intel Xeon Phi, memory, STREAM, vtune |

The product of three volcanic events, the lava-strewn landscape of the El Malpais National Monument (505/783-4774, free) is not exactly the barren terrain el malpaís (el-mal-pie-EES, literally, the badlands) suggests. A surprising amount of greenery has taken root in the millennia since the last eruption, between 2,000 and 3,000 years ago, and in the spring, wildflowers stand out against the jagged black rock. The lava fields are riven with deep, cave-like tubes that formed as the hot rock cooled. Some of the most scenic areas are along the monument’s eastern border, where the lava meets red sandstone cliffs, as well as New Mexico’s largest natural arch.
For those who just want a quick look, the easiest access point is Sandstone Bluffs Overlook, where, on a short walk along the edge of the eastern cliffs, you can admire the lava fields, and see north to Mount Taylor. It’s about 11 miles south from I-40 on Highway 117. Drive another 7 miles to reach La Ventana Arch, a great sandstone arc; a short trail leads to a scenic viewing spot.
If you’d like a longer hike or drive into the park, stop first at the Northwest New Mexico Visitors Center (1900 E. Santa Fe Ave., 505/876-2783, 9am-6pm daily in summer, 8am-5pm daily in winter), near I-40 at exit 85, midway between the two highways that access different parts of the badlands. National Park Service employees can give you detailed maps and current conditions, and from there you can decide whether to take Highway 53 or Highway 117 south into the monument area. The monument information center (505/783-4774, 8am-4:30pm daily) is less conveniently located on Highway 53, 23 miles south of I-40.
In addition to the hikes detailed below, there are more demanding but worthwhile places to explore outside the borders of the national park, in the BLM land designated Cebolla Wilderness (off the southeast border of the park) and West Malpais Wilderness (to the south and west)—ask at the visitors center for details on these areas as well.
By far the most strenuous hike, the shadeless 7.5-mile Zuni-Acoma Trail cuts across the lava beds roughly along the path used for centuries by the Puebloans in this region. It’s rough going because the ground is so uneven, but if you’re interested in the plants and animals that thrive in El Malpais, this can be a rewarding trek. The eastern trailhead is on Highway 117, before you reach La Ventana Arch; the western one is on Highway 53.
Lava Falls Area
For the best up-close look at the lava, head farther south on Highway 117 to the Lava Falls Area. Here you can still make out the swirls and eddies of the molten stuff as if it had cooled yesterday; the variety of shapes and textures is fascinating, as are the odd pockets of stunted trees that manage to flourish here. The three-mile route (a mile-long loop with a one-mile spur) is marked only by rock cairns, so bring a compass, as it’s easy to get disoriented.
At the El Calderon Area on Highway 53, a three-mile loop trail heads to El Calderon Cinder Cone, the area around the lava vent, and then back to the parking lot via a dirt road. Calderon Crater, the oldest of the three lava flows that make up the area, dates back some 115,000 years—as a result, the rock is more weathered, and not the stark black found around younger McCartys Crater. This is also the area where lava tubes are closest to the road—a short walk from the car reveals the entrance to Junction Cave, a tube that partially collapsed—you see a sliver of daylight on the other end. The famous Bat Cave, less than a mile from the parking area, still has a circling cloud of the nocturnal critters at sunset, though not as many as in the past.
The Big Tubes Area, a network of 17 miles of lava caves on the west side of the monument, has by far the weirdest terrain, but it was closed at the time of research, again due to the bat fungus. Even if it does reopen, you’ll need a high-clearance truck to get here, as well as headlamps (with extra batteries), sturdy boots, andjagged rocks.
Bandera Crater Ice Caves
A family-run tourist attraction that was grandfathered in when El Malpais was made a national monument, the Bandera Crater Ice Caves (Hwy. 53, 888/ICE-CAVE, 9am-5pm daily Mar.-Oct., 9am-4pm daily Nov.-Feb., $11) are an impressive natural sight, especially during the heat of summer, when you can descend from 90°F outside to 31°F underground, the chill emanating from a permanent layer of greenish ice at least 20 feet thick. Although the same phenomenon is visible elsewhere in El Malpais (for much less money), this is the most accessible spot, and generally more impressive. The other half of the attraction, Bandera Crater, 750 feet deep, is actually not much to look at—literally, just a big hole in the ground. |

en | N/A | N/A | What is the ionosphere? (And who is Steve?)
Extreme ultraviolet radiation and X-rays from the sun bombard these upper regions of the atmosphere, striking the atoms and molecules held within those layers. That powerful radiation dislodges negatively charged electrons from the particles, altering those particles' electrical charge. The resulting cloud of free electrons and charged particles, called ions, led to the name "ionosphere." The ionized gas, or plasma, mixes with the denser, neutral atmosphere.

Earth's ionosphere, a region of charged particles, stretches up to the border between Earth and space. (Image credit: ICON/NASA)
When solar winds whip across Earth, the planet stays shielded behind its magnetic field, also known as the magnetosphere. Generated by churning molten iron in the Earth's core, the magnetosphere sends solar radiation racing toward either pole. There, the charged particles collide with chemicals swirling in the ionosphere, generating the spellbinding auroras.

Near the Arctic and Antarctic circles, auroras streak across the sky every night, according to National Geographic. The colorful curtains of light, known as the aurora borealis and aurora australis, respectively, hang about 620 miles (1,000 km) above the Earth's surface. The auroras glow green-yellow when ions strike oxygen particles in the lower ionosphere. Reddish light often blooms along the auroras' edges, and purples and blues also appear in the nighttime sky, though this happens rarely.
In 2016, citizen scientists spotted a particularly eye-catching phenomena which scientists struggled to explain, Space.com previously reported. Bright rivers of white and pinkish light flowed over Canada, which is farther south than most auroras appear. Occasionally, dashes of green joined the mix. The mysterious lights were named Steve in homage to the animated movie "Over the Hedge" and were later rebranded as the "Strong Thermal Emission Velocity Enhancement" — still STEVE for short.
According to a 2019 study in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, the green streaks within STEVE may develop similarly to how traditional auroras form, as charged particles rain down upon the atmosphere. In STEVE, however, the river of light seems to glow when particles within the ionosphere collide and generate heat among themselves. |

"…But There Are Big Hurdles Ahead" tells of Dr. N. L. Englehardt, nationally known educational consultant, having said as much to the City and County officials at a joint meeting during the week. The community was expected to continue its growth and could no longer afford to be conservative in planning for the future, especially as that growth would only accelerate. Dr. Englehardt had maintained his finger on the pulse of the community for many years in an effort to prescribe for the school planning problem, on which the community had spent eight million dollars since the end of World War II, much of which, however, having been consumed by inflation, such that a minimum of 15 million dollars more would be needed to meet the needs already evident, probably required before the end of the decade.
Along with the need for new schools would come streets, water lines, sewers, transportation, police and fire protection, health services, sanitation and many other municipal and county government services.
The heart of Dr. Engelhardt's message had been that the City and the County could no longer afford to go in separate directions, would require careful planning at all levels and cooperation between the City and County governing bodies, the school boards, planning boards, and other groups.
It hopes that the joint session of City and County officials marked the beginning of new cooperation to provide for the future of the community.
"Armed Service Extravagance" tells of a Congressional subcommittee studying military purchases having uncovered examples of waste and inefficiency, such that the military services had, regarding some items, a 240-year supply and about 10 billion dollars worth of "unserviceable and uncataloged" items. The Congress had been trying without success for 23 years to urge the military to adopt a single buying catalog.
Drew Pearson, the previous week, had provided some examples, such as the Marines paying $16.80 for the same combat boots which the Army bought for $24.65, the Navy having enough anchors to last 50 years, and the Army, Navy and Marines insisting on separate and rival coffee-roasting plants. It took 5 1/2 pages of specifications just to buy ping-pong balls.
It suggests that there had to be a better way to provide for the military, that while some extravagance might be excused on the grounds of urgency, the bulk of military purchases could be done efficiently if there were a will to do so. With military spending reaching 52 billion dollars per year, producing a huge deficit, Congress had a mandate to force a thorough revision of the Pentagon's purchasing policies.
"A Harvest of Death" provides a plethora of statistics regarding traffic accidents in North Carolina for December, 1951, versus December, 1950, showing an increase in total accidents during the year of 33 percent, from 28,251 to 37,605, and in traffic accidents by 29 percent. Deaths in traffic accidents had increased from 110 to 116 during the year, while total deaths increased by 8 percent. Persons injured in traffic accidents increased by 7 percent, while total injured persons increased by 22 percent.
Of the 6,875 drivers involved in the December, 1951 accidents, 244 had been driving while drunk, 1,062 had not possessed the right-of-way, 976 had been speeders, 637 had been traveling on the wrong side of the road, not in passing, 529 had been following too closely and 262 had failed to signal or given an improper signal. In all, 77 percent of the drivers involved in accidents had been guilty of at least one traffic violation.
It concludes that North Carolina motorists either did not know how to drive or were careless, that the only way to make them learn to drive carefully was to adopt stricter laws and enforce them more rigorously. The 1951 General Assembly had ignored the pleas of Governor Scott's special commission on highway safety to make the traffic laws more strict and, it posits, the results in death and injury were "the harvest of that disinterest".
Drew Pearson tells of the nomination of Harry McDonald, to become the new head of RFC, having been stalled in committee by Congressman Robert Crosser of Ohio, who had sought to bring pressure on the Securities & Exchange Commission, operating under Mr. McDonald, on behalf of financier Cyrus Eaton, who had been in trouble with the SEC, investigated for promoting a lawsuit against auto manufacturer Henry Kaiser as a trumped-up excuse to back out of a multi-million dollar contract. Mr. Crosser had telephoned the SEC commissioners repeatedly to influence them in favor of Mr. Eaton and when the SEC continued to rule against him, Mr. Crosser had hinted that the SEC's treatment of Mr. Eaton s, shortly after which a probe began by Mr. Crosser's Interstate Commerce Committee, of which he was chairman, though assigning the investigation to a subcommittee headed by Congressman Louis Heller of New York.
Mr. Heller had refused to provide to the Senate Banking Committee, considering the McDonald appointment, the House subcommittee's files on Mr. McDonald's record at SEC. Mr. Pearson indicates that the reason for the refusal was that the files contained nothing derogatory to Mr. McDonald. Meanwhile, Mr. Crosser asked Banking Committee chairman Senator Burnet Maybank to delay the hearings on Mr. McDonald until the Heller subcommittee finished its investigation, to which Senator Maybank acquiesced.
Dr. Walter Schreiber, wartime chief of medical science for the Wehrmacht, who had sanctioned some of the medical experiments which the Nazis performed on victims in the concentration camps, had escaped the Nuremberg war crimes trials and was presently working for the Air Force at Randolph Field in Texas. He had mysteriously disappeared until the deadline for indictment on war crimes had passed and when he emerged from hiding, was given the Air Force job. He was presently working on a secret project at the Air Force School of Aviation Medicine. Had he been tried, he would have been charged, according to war crimes investigators, with aiding in executing troublemakers without trial by injecting lethal phenol into their arms, the reported method by which Field Marshal Erwin Rommel had met his end. Dr. Schreiber had ordered experimental injections on human guinea pigs, and subsequently, at Buchenwald concentration camp, four or five prisoners were dragged in and injected with raw phenol, causing them to double up in cramps and die.
Kicking, screaming young Polish girls had been held down by SS troops and forcibly operated on at Ravensbrueck concentration camp in August, 1943, and at least three were killed by experiments in gas gangrene. Dr. Carl Gebhart, who was hanged for these experiments, testified that he had discussed his work with Dr. Schreiber and that the latter had received reports on the experiments through official channels. A Nuremberg document also showed that Dr. Schreiber was second on the list of prominent German medical officers who had been detached to the SS for two days in May 1944 to attend a meeting at the SS Hospital in Hohenlychen, at which the experiments on the unwilling Polish girls were presented.
Human victims had also beenps in an attempt with human guinea pigs to develop a vaccine. Prisoners were inoculated with typhus just to keep the virus alive, a practice from which many had died. A professor at Natzweiler who was performing the experiments had written Dr. Schreiber on June 12, 1944, requesting more mice, though he had plenty of men, and Dr. Schreiber had responded with an affirmative reply on June 20, showing that he completely understood what was occurring at the camp.
Marquis Childs, writing from Wisconsin Rapids, Wisc., tells of Senator Taft racking up more miles in pursuit of a presidential nomination than perhaps any other candidate in history, exacting a grueling physical toll on him, but seeming to enjoy it. He was presently visiting Wisconsin for the second time, en route to the Pacific Northwest, and would return twice, one time for two intensive weeks prior to the April 1 primary.
When he had successfully run for re-election in 1950 to the Senate, he had stumped all over Ohio, visiting all of its 88 counties at least twice, and he was seeking to duplicate the same feat again in Wisconsin. Mr. Childs provides details of his daily schedule. The Senator stated that he did not get as tired as he once had in the 1950 campaign, but in the interim had his tonsils removed and felt much better for it.
Mr. Childs concludes that if it was the way to win the presidency, the Senator would win it.
Senator Taft would die in mid-1953.
James Marlow tells of those who ran the political parties, ranging from precinct workers to bosses, their reasons ranging from earnest beliefs in social responsibility to desire for power or loot.
Until the end of President Washington's second term in office, there had been no large political parties, and when his successor, Vice-President John Adams, was chosen, it was arranged between national and state leaders. For years afterward, presidential candidates were chosen by party caucuses in Congress, a procedure which declined in 1824 when the House chose John Quincy Adams over General Andrew Jackson for the presidency after neither achieved a majority in the electoral college, despite General Jackson having won both the popular vote and a plurality of the electors. But in 1828, General Jackson won the White House and remained for two terms. During each year of his term, he had urged Congress to establish direct primaries to let the people select the parties' presidential candidates, something which had, of course, never been done on a fully national basis until 1976.
Since about 1840, the candidates had been chosen by delegates from all the states at the parties' national conventions. The delegates primarily did the bidding of the party bosses, while theoretically representing the people back home.
In 1903, Robert LaFollette was able to convince his home state Legislature in Wisconsin to adopt a primary law, and by World War I, 18 states had such laws. Sixteen states still had primaries, each a little different from the other, some pledging delegates to vote as the people had voted, some giving the delegates a free hand at the convention, and others merely urging them to be conscientious. The preferences stated in the primaries, however, had no binding effect on the conventions, but as popularity contests, could provide an indicator of how people back home were thinking.
In their Growth of the American Republic, Samuel Eliot Morison and Henry Steele Commager had commented that the direct primaries favored by Mr. LaFollette, Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson, had proved a disappointment for the professional politicians, who had quickly found ways to control the primary process.
Mr. Marlow suggests that just because these 16 states had failed in their primaries, did not mean that a national law providing for primaries in all of the states would not be successful in allowing the voters to pick the candidates. He suggests that Congress would be instrumental in providing for such a national law, which had been urged many times. In the previous few weeks, measures had been offered to establish such a national primary in one way or another. It was unlikely, however, that anything would be done about it in 1952.

en | N/A | N/A | Home / Water Education Resources / Can You Have a Septic Tank Without a Leach Field?
Whether you’re building a new home or repairing an existing septic system, you may be wondering how necessary a leach field really is. While your septic tank holds the wastewater flowing from your home, it can only hold so much. A leach field is needed to filter out that wastewater. However, when space or environmental sensitivity are concerns, alternative septic systems and leach fields may be an option.
In homes without connection to municipal sewers, septic systems are installed to remove wastewater. As you flush your toilets, take a shower, and even do your laundry, wastewater from your home flows into a septic tank. There, naturally occurring bacteria begin to break down the waste, which is divided into three layers. Solid waste sinks to the bottom, while oil and grease will float to the top. The middle layer is liquid waste, or effluent.
The leach field is an essential part of the system that removes the effluent from the tank and filters it throughout the ground beneath your yard. How does this happen? The liquid waste flows into the drain outlet pipe which leads to a series of perforated pipes. Wastewater then slowly seeps into the soil surrounding the pipes.
Why do you need a Leach Field with a Septic Tank?
Regular septic pumpings are an important part of system maintenance. Without a functioning leach field, however, you’d need to have your tank pumped by a professional much more frequently. If not, wastewater would begin to back up into your drains and toilets. You’d also likely notice an increase in utility costs without a way to filter wastewater efficiently.
Proper wastewater disposal is vital to the environment and communities for septic system usage. Most also require a leach field to be used in conjunction with a septic tank.
Because a leach field disperses wastewater into the surrounding soil, the soil needs to have the capacity to absorb and retain the water. A percolation test is used to test just that. If the soil surrounding your leach field cannot properly absorb wastewater, it could lead to flooding and other issues. When soil doesn’t pass the perc test, a standard septic system cannot be installed.
A hundred years ago, homes may have been built with septic systems, but not leach fields. Instead of filtering water throughout the yard, the wastewater would often spill into nearby waterways. Clearly, this is not an environmentally friendly or healthy solution today. Because of this, if you purchase an older home that does not have a leach field, you may be required to bring your septic system up to code.
Most building codes require a specific setback from lot lines and waterways. On rare occasions, the size of the lot may not be large enough to install a leach field that meets those setback regulations. In these situations, an alternative septic system will be needed.
Leach fields must be deep enough below ground to avoid damage from foot traffic or root systems. In areas where the water table is shallow, however, it’s possible for wastewater to flow into groundwater before it’s been properly treated with the microbes in the soil. To avoid groundwater contamination, an alternative septic system will be needed.
Contaminated waterways can wreak havoc on delicate ecosystems. If your planned leach field is too close in proximity to a body of water, it will likely violate building codes and cannot be installed.
These systems are a possible solution for areas with shallow water tables or dense soil. They are above ground, covered in topsoil, and include a pump chamber to separate scum and sludge, allowing effluent to flow freely into the septic tank.
For smaller spaces, an aerobic treatment system may be the right choice. With these systems, air is pulled into the septic tank, allowing the natural bacteria to actively clean it.
For environmentally sensitive areas, a sand filtration system could be the right choice. Wastewater passes directly through a recirculating sand filter to remove contaminants. It then safely disperses into the soil below.
While this system has a traditional drain field, wastewater does not merge with groundwater. That’s because the base of the drain field is lined with a thick waterproof material that creates a barrier between the wastewater and the soil. When the effluent makes its way through the field, it evaporates instead.
If you have a septic system, you need a way to remove the wastewater from it. In fact, it’s often required by law. In traditional septic systems, this process is effectively performed with a leach field. However, there are some instances when a leach field cannot be installed, including space restrictions, environmental concerns, and soil quality. When using a leach field isn’t possible, you’ll need to consider alternative septic systems. While typically more expensive, these systems are often more environmentally friendly and space conscious. |

These guys may not be professionals by nature, but in terms of dedication, respect and passion they share similar attributes.; it takes place throughout South Australia smack bang in the middle of January which is possibly the hottest time of year. It attracts some of the world's biggest names in cycling – these professionals are accustomed to cycling over 140km, a day, it's their job. The weather is something that you can't rely on, to cycle 140 km in 40 °C heat is a challenge even for the most hardened professionals on the tour.
On completion of the Tour, we asked Kim Scott to give us a brief rundown of each stage. When researching the various stages of the Tour the one thing that jumped out at me was the distances covered each day – that mixed with the extreme heat that they were riding in really does give you a greater appreciation of what these everyday people went through all for such a worthy cause – not all hero's wear capes some wear lycra too.
(17 /1) Stage 1: Unley to Lyndoch (145km) (40 °C)
The first stage was one for the sprinters, a gruelling 145km ride in 40-degree weather. Riders departed from Unley, heading through the heart of the city and out to the scenic Barossa Valley where riders took in picturesque views of vineyards and pastures. This leg concludes with a frantic but well-deserved downhill run to the finish line in Lyndoch. The Pro's only completed two laps of Lyndoch due to the extreme heat, missing out 27km of riding; however, the Beat Cancer team did all three loops in the same heat.
(18/1) Stage 2: Stirling to Paracombe (149km) (27 °C)
(19/1) Stage 3: Glenelg to Victor Harbor (144km) (39 °C)
(20/1) Stage 4: Norwood to Campbelltown (150km) (27 °C)
Stage Four saw cyclists depart Norwood and head towards the hills again for what would be another stage dominated by hills climbs. The peloton looped around Birdwood, Springton and Mt Torrens before a nice downhill ride to the finish line in Campbelltown. This was also the stage for the public BUPA ride, which meant Beat Cancer Tour had over 6000 additional riders along for the day.
(21/1) Stage 5: McLaren Vale to Willunga Hill (152km) (30 °C)
The famous Willunga stage is often heralded as the highlight of the tour; it's the longest stage coming in at 152km and often the deciding stage of the Tour. The day started in McLaren Vale which put on a show for the riders as usual. It featured three laps of loops along the coast, then twice up Willunga Hill for a frantic hill finish. The Beat Cancer Team made the first ascent of Willunga Hill at their own individual pace and finished the stage on the second ascent riding across the line as a team.
(22/1) Stage 6: Adelaide to Adelaide (90k) (36 °C)

Gain Valuable Metrics from Security Entrances
Security entrances are designed to mitigate unauthorized intrusion from tailgating, and when they are integrated with an access control system, can offer much more in terms of metrics on the events that occur at the entry. Many integrators do not know how to integrate security entrances to achieve these results. The webinar provides all the possible events that can be tracked for each type of security entrance and Brad and Zac share a few case studies about improper integration and the impact it had on the end user. When done right, metrics can help to identify patterns for investigation and action. For instance, if some entrances are experiencing high levels of tailgating attempt alarms or invalid credential alarms, security teams can train staff on the proper use of a turnstile. Cameras can also be turned on when the access control system receives a tailgating event alarm.
Discover Integration Techniques & Avoid Common Mistakes
Brad and Zac conclude the webinar by discussing common integration techniques. They share the many ways that credential and biometric readers can be mounted. They also talk about some mistakes they have seen in the field in terms of integration, including incorrect device placement, and also devices that authenticate a person too quickly or from too far away.
This webinar was presented on November 11, 2020. In order to view a recorded version of the webinar, please visit our website at https://content.boonedam.us/webinar-best-practices-integrating-acs-with-security-entrances and fill out a short form. |

Trinidad and Tobago seeing contraction in airlift

There has been a marked contraction in airlift coming into Trinidad and Tobago to the extent that it is now more difficult to get to the twin island Caribbean republic by plane than it was pre-pandemic.
Figures from airport authorities reveal that for the month of February, leading up to this year’s Carnival, the number of flights coming to Trinidad and Tobago from all destinations decreased by 46 per cent. There were 408 flights thus far this year compared to 760 in 2020.
The shortage of flights is believed to have negatively impacted the number of visitors to what was billed ‘The Mother of All Carnivals’. Regional air carrier LIAT no longer has service in 2023 as compared to 2020 when all its flights were functional and provided much connectivity to the rest of the region.
Carnival visitors contracted
Tourism Minister Randall Mitchell has indicated that the number of visitors for Carnival fell from 37,000 in 2020 to 30,000 in 2023. American Airlines operates one turnaround flight per day compared to 2020 when it operated one turnaround and one overnight flight.

JetBlue has pulled its Fort Lauderdale route and now operates only one flight compared to 2020 when there were two flights per day. WestJet and Air Canada no longer fly to Trinidad compared to 2020 when they operated in the pre-COVID era. The statistics also show that Caribbean Airlines simply can’t pick up the slack with its limited number of aircraft and routes.
In a telephone interview with ET&T’s Express Business, Hayden Newton, general manager, said: “All of the major airlines have had challenges in terms of pilots and staffing. There were challenges with South West and American Airlines with their pilots. There was the zeal to come to Trinidad, but there weren’t enough flights coming in. For example, from Canada, the only carrier was Caribbean Airlines. Then there is the challenge of the labour laws in Canada with regard to flying to a particular jurisdiction. Flights coming out of Toronto (major hub) and other parts of Canada were down.”
He added: “If you look at American [Airlines], they would have had about three flights per day in 2020. The T&T-based Caribbean Airlines Limited (CAL) has flights from JFK, Miami and Fort Lauderdale. JFK and Miami are operating every day but Fort Lauderdale did not operate daily.

The airline operates either three times per week at Fort Lauderdale and Orlando operated twice per week. CAL has other flights that go twice weekly to the United States. American Airlines had much fewer flights into Trinidad.
JetBlue operated only the normal JFK flight. They did not have the Ft Lauderdale that they had in 2020. Before, JetBlue had two flights daily – one from JFK International Airport and one from Ft Lauderdale.
“United might have been the only one that operated in the same manner like 2020,” added Newton, admitting that the aviation industry was severely impacted and the number of pilots and airline personnel had decreased. He stated that there were fewer flights between Trinidad and Tobago.

en | N/A | N/A | One answered question is how different, or similar, I want the two sites to be. For the moment I've copied the http://www.traduction-edition-scientifique.fr/ site design. I've already had to adjust the structure, and of course translate the content back to English(!
The book I ordered at the beginning of the month finally arrived. It only took three weeks!
Remember the agency who asked for a copy of my CV?Well, the CV is done, but I've so far failed to send it off. I'm basically scared it won't be good enough. I HAVE TO GET OVER THIS!
Yesterday I was contacted by a translation agency. I met a girl in Barcelona when I went to the translators' meeting in October and gave her my card. It was her agency who contacted me yesterday. They're asking for a CV. What does a translator's CV look like?Next challenge!
I've followed up on the snail-mail marketing idea. There's a little local organisation that maintains a list of businesses at the gigantesque technology park just down the road. I popped in to ask for a copy of their business directory. Turns out they don't keep a paper copy; it's too big. But now I have the email address of the lady who can send me an electronic copy. Baby steps!
I'ou'll never guess who from?Google!
P.S. Google claim you can get your first campaign up and running in ten minutes. Oh no you can't!
First question – who with?now I'm no longer a 7112B?It didn'!?
Google tells me that it's the centre de formalités des entreprises that needs to know, and that turns out to be…good old URSSAF. So the form is in the envelope, stamped and ready to send. Wish me luck!e!
I know the idea is that you put the work in now and get the pay-off at some later date. But it's only an idea eh? |

en | N/A | N/A | This project drives a number of LEDs via a very clever circuit.
This is where the LED is connected directly to the output via a resistor and when the output is HIGH, the LED illuminates. But if the micro has 5 outputs, only 5 LEDs can be illuminated.
When voltage is applied, one LED will illuminate and when the voltage is reversed, the other LED will illuminate. This will allow us to illuminate more than 5 LEDs.
This is the same as SCANNING.
To turn on LEDs 11,2,3,4, the drive lines are made LOW and the fifth line is taken to a transistor. When the fifth line is taken HIGH, the transistor supplies rail voltage to the 4 LEDs and they illuminate. They are then turned off and 4 outputs drive LEDs 5,6,7,8. The fifth output (GP4) drives the transistor.
Although each LED can be turned on and off individually, we cannot turn on some combinations of LEDs will turning on other LEDs that have the same lines that feed them. For example, we cannot turn on LEDs 1,4,5,8 at the same time, because to turn on LED4 GP5 has to be LOW and to turn on LED5 GP4 has to be HIGH. Rather than deal with all these conflicts, we scan the columns.

Alfred Hitchcock </s> Robert Walter Ernst Richard von Görschen (* 27. März 1864 in Aachen; † 4. Januar 1936 ebenda) war ein preußischer Oberregierungsrat und Regierungsvizepräsident.
Am 9. September 1890 begann von Görschen seine berufliche Laufbahn als Regierungsreferendar bei der Regierung Aachen. Drei Jahre später wurde er zum Regierungsassessor beförderte und war bei der Regierung in Kassel, beim Landratsamt Stormarn und wahrscheinlich noch in Wandsbek tätig, bevor er am 4.

Einen Monat später arbeitete er zunächst als kommissarischer und ab dem 23. Februar 1903 als definitiver Landrat im Landkreis Altenkirchen. Am 10. Oktober 1912 wurde er schließlich zum Oberregierungsrat der Regierung Köln berufen. Als letzte Station seiner Laufbahn schloss sich am 1. Juni 1919 die Beförderung zum Regierungsvizepräsidenten von Aachen an.
Neben- und Vereinstätigkeiten
Neben seiner beruflichen Laufbahn als hoher Verwaltungsbeamter war Robert von Görschen seit seiner Amtszeit in Aachen meist in leitender Position bei verschiedenen Vereinigungen und Institutionen aktiv:
22. November 1919: Mitglied im Club Aachener Casino
24. Juni 1908 Ritterschlag zum Rechtsritter des Johanniterordens
26. Juni 1920 bis 14. Oktober 1934 Vorstandsvorsitzender des Luisenhospitals Aachen
9. Mai 1924 bis 4. Januar 1925: Aufsichtsratsvorsitzender der Aachen Münchener Feuer-Versicherungs-Ges AG) sowie Aufsichtsratsvorsitzender zahlreicher der A.M. nahestehender Gesellschaften.
1932–1933: Präsident des Aachener Rotary Clubs
Für seine Verdienste im passiven Widerstand wurde ihm, „dem aufrechten Träger altpreußischen Verwaltungsgeistes, dem unermüdlichen Mitkämpfer für die deutsche Kultur in der bedrohten Westmark, dem feinsinnigen Förderer heimischer Kunst“ am 22. Mai 1925 die Ehrenbürgerschaft der RWTH Aachen verliehen.
„Aus Anlass der siebzigsten Wiederkehr seines Geburtstages und in dankbarer Würdigung seiner großen Verdienste um die Ausgestaltung und Entwicklung der Hochschule“ wurde von Görschen am 27. März 1934 zum Ehrensenator der RWTH Aachen ernannt.
Ferner wurde ihm zu Ehren am 28. März 1934 durch den Polizeipräsidenten eine Straße in Aachen nach ihm benannt.

en | N/A | N/A | Replacing Summers: Will Obama Please Wall Street or Struggling Americans?
According to the New York Time
Politico was even more specific: "President Barack Obhim on the National Economic Council -- a woman CEO."
It's hard to know where to beginbody -- a long one in which you're really getting into things -- when, suddenly, your friend says something that tells you he actually hasn't heard a word you've said?
It would be nothing less than shocking to find that the president, at this late date in the recession and with the midterms shaping up as they are, is looking out at the economic landscape and concluding that what most needs repairing is his administration's relationship with Wall Street. Really?How about hiring someone who would "send a message" to the 26 million unemployed or underemployed Americans -- with the message being: Help is on the way!
"What Obama really needs is someone who'll do a good job," wrote Matt Yglesias. If the economy is doing well, he adds, "messaging" takes care of itself: "FDR's economic message was very compelling in 1936 because the economy was growing rapidly."
Echoing Yglesias is Paul Krugman. "Obama should pick someone who can do a good job," he writes. "Never mind image, or the message the appointment supposedly sends -- there are about 600 people in this country who care about that stuff, and most of them are paid to care."
...this is a remarkably stupid plan, if true. It will not 'disarm' critics who say that Obama is reflexively anti-business, any more than having Bob Gates at Defense 'disarmed' critics of Obama's approach to terror...
And as far as hiring a woman -- hey, I'm all for women and diversity, but given the fact that the middle class is crumbling under the weight of near double-digit unemployment, I'd first like to start with some diversity of vision and economic perspective. That's the element that is sorely lacking in this White House. As a former Treasury official put it in Jonathan Alter's book The Promise, Obama's economic team ""
Of course, A to C hasn't been working out very well. And I doubt whether that's because of the lack of an E and O tacked onto the C. After all, Carly Fiorina is a female former CEO. While at HP she sent a message that many CEOs and "the Street" often like: the willingness to destroy the lives of thousands of workers in order to maximize profit. Is that what we need being whispered in the president's ear?
Instead of "sending a message to Wall Street," how about sending a message to the three quarters of the country who, according to a new CNN/ORC poll, still believe the economy is in a recession -- despite what The National Bureau of Economic Research says? |

en | N/A | N/A | After hearing about the Indies First campaign in the U.S., spearheaded by acclaimed author Sherman Alexie in 2013, Janie Chang decided a similar initiative should be brought to Canada. The result is Canadian Authors for Indies Day, which will take place May 2, 2015.
Last year Chang, the Vancouver, B.C.-based author of Three Souls, started speaking to authors and booksellers she knew to gauge interest in an event that would pair authors and independent bookstores for a one-day event. Although Chang originally imagined the event would be a B.C.-focused one, it has morphed into something much bigger.
As of Monday, nearly 100 indie bookstores and 270 authors throughout Canada had signed up, ranging from fantasy author Guy Gavriel Kay (The Fionavar Tapestry) to financial writer Gail Vaz-Oxlade (Debt-Free Forever) to award-winning novelist Steven Galloway (The Cellist of Sarajevo).
Through the event, booksellers and authors are left with the onus of contacting each other to arrange a possible event for May 2. Chang suggests authors can spend time at their assigned store handselling books and talking to customers, but it really is up to them.
“It brings traffic into the bookstores, and hopefully that means the stores will sell more books,” Chang said. “I really hope it raises awareness of how important independent bookstores are in the community. For me, what’s really important is that it also strengthens relationships between authors and booksellers, because [most] authors are very shy and retiring.”
In a harmonious coincidence, last year’s California Bookstore Day has announced that, in 2015, its event will expand to include the entire country. The California-coordinated event is also set for May 2, 2015.
Although the grassroots campaign was started by Chang, she credits its growing success to the help she has received from volunteers such as Mary-Ann Yazedijian, who is co-president of the B.C. Booksellers Association and manager of Vancouver’s Book Warehouse store on Main Street.
“I just think it’s so important for the whole community to support each other, from publishers to reps to booksellers to authors,” Yazedijian told PW. “Because we’re seeing such a strong bookselling community in the United States now, it’s really inspirational for us to work together to do this.”
Another person who has pitched in to help is Leslie Fletcher of the Retail Council of Canada, who has access to a national list of bookstores, and is helping put together marketing materials for social media. Chang’s publisher, HarperCollins Canada, has also agreed to create posters to advertise the event. Chang even had a conference call with members of the American Booksellers Association, to pick their brains about what worked for them.
Hal Wake, artistic director of the Vancouver Writers Fest, also gave Canadian Authors for Indies Day a big boost by getting in touch with author Ann-Marie Macdonald (The Way the Crow Flies, Adult Onset), who agreed to be the public face of the event. Chang said having a “big-name author” will give the event credibility, the way Neil Gaiman and Daniel Handler have done for the Indies First campaign.
Macdonald said in a statement: “We all know how tough things are for Canadian independent bookstores. Year after year they support us. They stock our books, invite us for readings, and put our titles on their 'staff picks' shelf. Let’s do something to support them back.”
Chang hopes that her event will become an annual occasion, the same way Indies First has taken off in the U.S. The list of participating authors and bookstores has been slowly growing on the event's website, which Chang and others hope to officially launch on March 15.
“When people get on the website, we want them to get excited,” Chang said. “They’ll see that there are stores and authors together, and they’ll be able to walk into their local independent bookstore and get book recommendations from an author, and talk about books.” |

Subsequent volumes include Helix: New and Selected Poems (2002) and Lookout (2010), which was shortlisted for the 2011 GRIFFIN POETRY PRIZE. From December 2006 to November 2008 Steffler held.
The poem that perhaps most exemplifies these qualities of vivid imagery and immediacy is the title poem of the volume That Night We Were Ravenous; driving on a rainy night with a companion, Steffler suggests an averted auto accident, describing the landscape as if it were "a cow MOOSE" dancing "over the roof of our car wearing moccasins." There follows a stream of startling and wildly humorous imagery, where the "trees detached themselves from the shaggy/shoulder and stepped in front of the car... maybe a hunchbacked horse with goiter, maybe a team of beavers/ trying to operate stilts..." These discrete epiphanies follow one upon another, like the events of our lives allegedly passing before us on the verge of death. Steffler and his companion view this cascade of instants in the very heat of the occurrence. By the end of the poem, exhilarated by their survival of a catastrophic personal event, they are "ravenous... We entered one another like animals entering/ woods./ That night we slept deeper than ever./ Our dreams bounded after her like excited hounds." Such is the power of Steffler's poetry. |

- Failing definitely sucks, but at least an attempt was made. I think it'd be way worse to not attempt something you've been wanting to do, than try said thing and fail at it. It's about the experience, the journey, how you get there, not about the destination we both have completed several Pinterest projects, all of which I failed to document (but I can tell you all about them in another post!)
So, lovely readers, tell me in the comments below what you've been up to since January! Have you been keeping up with your New Year Resolutions? Have you made some recent goals? Let me know!
Seems easy enough right? One would think. If you have seen my YouTube videos, you know I wear red lipstick in just about all of them. Chances are, they are different lipsticks. I buy many different lipsticks all the time, I almost have more lipsticks than eyeshadows (now thats a feat!).
Today I am going to be reviewing MACs Ruby Woo Retro Matte lipstick.
MAC has always been a brand I was scared to try. Why? Because it costs at least sixteen dollars for a lipstick, and depending on the collection and type, could cost more. I also secretly didn't want to give in to MAC, for that I don't really have a legitimate reason.
Expensive. Chalky. Peels after a few hours. Doesn't survive messy dinners (noodles, burgers, etc).
Overall, I would give this lipstick an A-.... I know there's perfection out there somewhere.
Do you use this lipstick? Do you have one you want me to try?
I have a video on my Youtube Channel about the day leading up to the event, so I'm just going tell you about the actual proposal.
We pull up to the third "love tree" and our driver starts saying how he has done 70 marriage proposals, most in front of the love tree, and he hasn't seen anyone decline yet. We stop in front of the tree, and he says, "the best part about it, is that there is usually one person that has no idea of what is going on..." He then turns around, looks at me, looks at Catherine, looks at me again, and back at her, and then turns back around and continues the tour. Now, I thought it was odd, and it started to feel awkward... but I let it slide. (You see, Catherine missed her cue! But its okay... she improvises later in her state of almost-panic).
Of course, I said yes!!
On our way back to our car, she started telling me her MONTHS of planning, and telling me that literally EVERYONE knew what was happening... and then it all made sense. Looking back, there were MAJOR clues that she was going to propose, and I still giggle to myself about it.
That is the story about how she proposed to me!

35. Under the name "Dhimah," she published "Dance for Moscow" in _New Theater_ , October 1935, 25. See the article about her by Chen-I-Wan, "American Dancers in Moscow," _New Theater_ , August 1935, 21. I am indebted to Konstantina Karageorgos for research assistance on Dhimah Meidman.
36. Rowley, _Richard Wright_ , 205–6.
37. See ibid., 552. Several of her paintings called "Abstract" can be viewed at <http://www.aspireauctions.com/auction13/2230.html>.
38. She also received some notice for her story "The Love Affair," originally published in the _Kenyon Review_ and reprinted in Martha Foley, ed., _The Best American Short Stories of 1946_ (New York: Houghton Mifflin, 1946)Henrietta Weigel.
39. See Henrietta Weigel, "Personal Impressions," in _Richard Wright: Impressions and Perspectives_ , ed. David Ray and Robert Farnsworth (Ann Arbor: University of Michigan Press, 1973), 71–75.
40. Replansky's communications with Wright are preserved in his papers. In the mid-1940s, frequently from California, she sent Wright poems, reported on her meetings with Bertolt Brecht, and described her stay with Natalie Moffat (a lover of Simone de Beauvoir's, then married to the director George Stevens). See letters of Replansky to Wright of 8 September 1945, 18 June 1946, 7 September 1946, and 31 January 1947, Beinecke Library.
41. See Rowley, _Richard Wright_ , 355–56 and 408.
42. Less is known about Wright's affairs with women in Europe—Madelyn Jackson, Vivian Werner, and Celia Hornung—which probably occurred after most of the novel was written.
43. In _The Outsider_ , the Communist activist Bob Hunter, like C. L. R. James, is from Trinidad and is eventually imprisoned by immigration authorities on Ellis Island, as later happened to James (1953). In a private conversation in Paris in July 1993, Wright biographer Michel Fabre, usually a reliable source, told me that Wright and Webb had been lovers during the late 1940s, meeting under the pretense of his teaching her how to drive. If so, this was not acknowledged by Webb in her autobiography, _Not Without Love: Memoirand remains unconfirmed.
44. These observations and those on the following pages are all summarized from Wright's draft perspectives for "American Pages," although it is not possible to include all of his ideas. One can view the full document in the Wright Papers.
45. Hank Johnson's father had been a member of the IWW. Hank had come from Texas to New York to attend City College from 1930 to 1934, during which time he worked for the International Workers Order (1932–34). Johnson then joined the CIO Steel Workers Organizing Committee in 1936 ameatpacking unionization drive in Chicago in 1937. One of the founders of the Communist-led National Negro Congress, he was believed to be a Communist but never publically identified himself with the Communist Party. References to Hank Johnson can be found in Wright's diary for 1945, box 117, folder 1860, Wright Papers.
46. Arthell Shelton and Hank Johnson were featured prominently and favorably in a _Chicago Defender_ article replete with photographs, "What Goes On in Packingtown?," by the pro-Communist Harold Preece, 23 September 1939, 13.
47. Wright's diary for 1945, Wright Papers.
48. Roger Horowitz, email to author, 15 July 2008. The only way that Shelton could conceivably have been linked to the Communist movement in the 1940s concerns an incident in the August prior to the murder. At that time, Shelton, the bodyguard for AFL officer Norman Zuckowsky, assaulted a police officer. A Judge Quilici managed to get the charges against Shelton dismissed and apparently participated in a cover-up. Perhaps Quilici organization then significantly influenced by Communists, might once have been a fellow traveler.
49. Edward Bland Jr., emails to the author, 10, 17, 19 April 2010.
50. Richard Wright, "Not My People's War," _New Masses_ , 17 June 1941, 8–9.
51. This led to a ccreation of the Comics Code. Wertham was influenced by Freud, but his main emphasis was on the environment and social background as having major effects on psychological development. Among Wertham's many connections to the Left was that he helped the imprisoned Ethel Rosenberg and served as an advisor in the adoption of the Rosenberg sons.
52. Isidor Schneider, "One Apart," _New Masses_ , 23 April 1945, 23–24. Diana Trilling comments on the affair in _The Beginning of the Journey_ (New York: Houghton Mifflin, 1995), 215.
53. Gil Blount's real name is said to be Bernstein in _The Outsider_ (New York: Perennial, 1993), 329. Ben Burns published a revealing autobiography in which he discusses his version of his conflict with Wright,54. Samuel Sillen, "Richard Wright in Retreat," _Daily Worker_ , 29 August 1944, 25–26.
55. This debate is discussed at length in Wald, _Trinity of Passion_ , 222–27.
56. Hunter's personal situation also has some resemblance to that of C. L. R. James's, as he is under threat of deportation to the Caribbean. One leading African American Communist who attacked Wright in print was James W. Ford, "A Disservice to the Negro People," _Daily Worker_ , 5 September 1944, 6. Ford insists that Wright had been well treated by the Communist Party, which had never tried to hold him back in his career.
57. See the articles "Anna Damon Dies after Long Illness," _Daily Worker_ , 14 May 1944, 5, and "Communist Party Mourns Death of Anna Damon, ILD Leader," _Daily Worker_ , 20 May 1944, 9. The suicide is mentioned in Bella Dodd's _School of Darkness_ (New York: P. J. Kennedy, 1954), 172. The Communist press reported only that Damon died after a protracted illness, in the throes of excruciating pain, while preparing to attend the Communist Party national convention as a delegate. Damon's funeral may have been dramatized in the novel as the basis for Gil Blount's. "Many at Rites for Damon," _Daily Worker_ , 21 May 1944, 12, reports that over 100 people attended an interracial farewell tribute at the Plaza Funeral Home.

en | N/A | N/A | Spelman College Digital Moving Image Salon Student Documentary Showcase April 25
ATLANTA (April 22, 2013) – Each year, novice and veteran student filmmakers enrolled in Spelman College Digital Moving Image Salon’s film studies course draw from their personal interests and academic pursuits to produce documentaries that detail the varied and layered experiences of women of the African Diaspora. Three student collaborations from the course, which delve into health and wellness, the Syrian Revolution and homelessness, will premiere at the Ninth Annual Spelman College Digital Moving Image Salon Student Documentary Film Showcase Thursday, April 25, 2013, at Midtown Cinema.
“DMIS producers create films that focus on the lived experiences of women. Many of these experiences, and the related points of view, seldom find their way into mainstream media conversations,” said Ayoka Chenzira, Ph.D., filmmaker and founding director of the Digital Moving Image Salon. “The common thread in this year’s documentary films is what I would call ‘the tenacious spirit.’ Whether it’s women taking control of their lives through exercise and more nutritional diets, or learning to value themselves against overwhelming odds, or inventing creative ways to protest against war, the women featured in the films show us how they have used their vision, commitment, will power, and a plan, to make a difference.”
In addition to the April 25 screenings, the DMIS Celebration of Excellence Award will be presented to Shilla Benning, an award-winning costume designer and stylist who has designed for television, films, theatrical productions, and concerts as well as celebrities including Terrence Howard, Erykah Badu, Andre 3000 and Tarij Henson. Benning’s work can be seen in Tyler Perry’s “House of Payne,” “Single Ladies,” and “Footloose.” She is one of a small number of African-American women costume designers who have consistently worked in the film and television industries for more than 25 years.
The documentary screenings and award presentation will take place at 7 p.m. at Midtown Cinema (931 Monroe Drive, Atlanta).
The event is free and open to the public. For more information call 404-270-5625 or visit DMIS Student Documentary Film Showcase.
“Rima’s Red Raincoat” is the story of Rima Dali, a lawyer who sparked a nonviolent movement in the Syrian Revolution through performance art in public spaces. Producers: Banah Ghadbian and Janiene Thiong
“Darling’s Silver Lining” is a portrait of a talented female artist who struggles with homelessness while also trying to come to terms with her past. Producers: Angelique DeVonish and Kaneisha Montague
“Running for My Life” profiles three African-American women who take control of their physical, emotional and mental health by learning to run and changing their diets. Producers: Jasmyn Lawson, Nina Lee, Edwina Campbell
About the Digital Moving Image Salon

Founded by internationally award-winning filmmaker and interactive digital media artist, Ayoka Chenzira, it is a mechanism through which the College encourages and supports the growing number of students interested in creating stories for digital media platforms. In 2012, DMIS was named Best Fine Arts Program by The Center for HBCU Media Advocacy. For more information, visit DMIS. |

Can Jeremy King fend off Richard Caring and others who want to take over the crown jewels of the London restaurant world?
Jeremy King does not usually go in for fighting talk, in the same way that the Dalai Lama tends to avoid a bar brawl. The man behind London’s most beloved restaurants is known for his overawing cordiality and calm; a relaxed rigor, even among the heat and tumult of a fiery kitchen.
To see him shimmer across the marbled floor of the Wolseley—a bastion of civility that makes the Ritz next door look like … well, anything but the Ritz—is to observe some high priest of sweetness and light at work. (A private joke with Joan Collins here; a kind recommendation to a lost Texan there.) But today, as he fights for control of the restaurant group that bears his name, King has his dander up. “If you wish to avoid a war,” he says, “then don’t start a battle.”
The skirmish in question is with Minor International—a Thai hotel conglomerate and the majority backers of the Corbin & King restaurant group, which King set up with his partner Chris Corbin back in 2003. (Other restaurants under this umbrella include Colbert, on Sloane Square, and the Delaunay, on Aldwych.) In short, it all hinges on a $51.5 million loan.
“The real breakdown came because they were trying to insist that I sell franchises of the Wolseley into different regions,” King explains. “I’d be perfectly happy to take the Wolseley abroad,” he says. “But it’s just about how it’s done. The problem with franchises is that you do lose control.”
It all hinges on a $51.5 million loan.
(The rumors go that Saudi Arabia was high on the Minor wish list, “which is sort of depressing and crass,” Giles Coren, The Times of London restaurant critic, tells me. “The two main things about the Wolseley are that it’s on Piccadilly and that Jeremy is always there. Once you take those two things away, you’re frankly left with the schnitzel—and I don’t see the point in selling that to the Arabs, really … ”)
King explains that the financiers urged him to “sack all the staff” during the pandemic (“which I didn’t”), and that they fundamentally disagreed over the running of the company. “Their attitude was that if someone offers you money, you should take it,” King continues. “Mine was that, if someone offers you money, you should do a lot of due diligence, and think about the overall repercussions.”
Cue an almost Diana-grade outpouring of grief across Instagram and the broadsheets, with many declaring their unwavering devotion to the restaurant group and to the Wolseley in particularhas come in through media and social media,” King says. “It is gratifying—but also helpful.” This, he insists, along with the “wisdom of experience,” has helped him remain philosophical amid the storm. And there is a sense, King tells me, “that whatever happens, we’ll find a way through.”
The blood, however, may have just begun to simmer. Last week, The Sunday Times of London reported that Richard Caring’s Caprice Holdings—the rival Mayfair hospitality group behind Sexy Fish, Annabel’s, and the Ivy Collection—had met with Minor to discuss a potential acquisition of the Corbin & King restaurants, and that the talks pre-date the current financial administration. (Capric)
For some, a Caring intervention is a fate worse than death for the likes of the Wolseley. After the terra-cotta-hued former cloth merchant took control of the Ivy and the Caprice (owned and operated during their 1990s pomp by King and Corbin), he began gradually to turn the Ivy from a singular West End society honeypot into a middle-market regional chain. “The world has not been impressed by it,” Coren says. “The rollout that Caring has done has been dismal.” (It is telling, perhaps, that on the morning I spoke with King, a press release arrived in my inbox announcing the imminent launch of a Sexy Fish Miami.)
More to the point, King and Caring could not be further apart in temperament or taste. The former is softly spoken and attentive—a restaurateur of a former era who visits each of his sites every day to check on the fall of a tablecloth or to wish happy birthday to a 90-year-old regular.
Caring’s Sexy Fish, which opened on Berkeley Square in 2015, is rumored to house one of the most expensive art collections of any restaurant in London.
The latter is a more fragrant character, who has built his impressive empire via aggressive acquisitions and splashy openings—and runs his operations from the boardroom rather than the restaurant floor. “He’s an all right bloke,” says Coren. “But the idea that he might go about buying the things that Jeremy has made, and make them shit, is a bit depressing.”
.
And while King has been in talks with the U.S.o help refinance the loans with minimal disruption, to some degree the fate of the company is beyond his control. “It’s in the hands of the administrator, and who knows what offers they might have?”

en | N/A | N/A | Abstract: We calculate the one-loop squared contributions to the next-to-next-to-leading order ${\cal O}(\alpha^2\alpha_s^2)$ radiative QCD corrections for the production of heavy quark pairs in the collisions of unpolarized on--shell photons.

en | N/A | N/A | But HSBC and Citi took to battle on the playing fields of the Hong Kong Football Club in April for a fixture they hope will one day rival in intensity HSBC’s annual golf challenge against the old Jardine Fleming.
The match was played without a referee, suggesting that despite politicians’ rhetoric banks can actually compete and at the same time work together to achieve effective regulation.
The game started off as a cagey affair, with HSBC securing a narrow 1-0 lead by half time. A stirring half-time team talk by skipper Phil Lipton had HSBC out peppering the Citi goal in the second period like originators on the hunt for an Asian high-yield mandate. HSBC took a 5-1 lead midway through the half.
HSBC started to tire at that point, as a strong substitutes bench used by Citi captain David Russell started to take over the game. They pulled it back to 5-3 by the final whistle, with Citi’s co-CEO for Asia, Stephen Bird, telling Euromoney that "another 10 minutes and we would have had them. They were on their last legs."
Both sides say the game was played in a tremendous spirit, which was demonstrated when Citi revealed a surprise trophy that was duly presented to HSBC, with the promise of a chance to win it back soon.
That match might have added spice given Citi’s determination to take on HSBC and build market share in the Hong Kong retail banking sector. Citi’s opening shot is to keep its branches open till 7pm, rather than the 5pm close the majority of HSBC customers face. |
