Samsung nonetheless has but to return out and officially element their plan for buying units onto Android 6.0 Marshmallow, however they haven’t been in a position to prevent inside files from leaking. Last week we first head of Samsung’s plans to bring devices up to Marshmallow, which prompt that greater than 1 of their flagships may get the products this yr.
O new document, then again, indicates the corporate will handiest have one telephone in a position to head with Android 6.0 Marshmallow by way of the top of this yr. That telephone is the Samsung Galaxy Note 5, and it’s stated to be in “importing” mode, no matter what that suggests.
This all at once makes the report of the T-Mobile Galaxy Note 5 user errantly receiving the upgrade much more plausible. Samsung’s different flagship units launched this yr — specifically the Samsung Galaxy S6, Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge and Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Plus — are stated to be getting it one day in January, with the updates recently present process checking out.
Going additional down the timeline, the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and Note Edge might obtain it a month after that, at the same time as the Galaxy S5 reputedly gained’t get any love until April. Those units are in “authorized” mode, that means little or no paintings — if any — has been began.
Much of the remaining of Samsung’s timeline is still in limbo. Most units from the Galaxy I, Galaxy A and Galaxy S line are all anticipating approval. The most effective exceptions are the Galaxy A8 (authorized for a March 2016 arrival) and Galaxy J1 (merely cancelled).
So, the ones are the plans, however as everyone knows plans can also be modified, damaged or cancelled for a few unexpected purposes — you wish to have most effective examine remaining week’s roadmap leak with this week’s to peer that so much. It’s protected to mention that flagships launched inside the earlier couple of years are positive to revel in everlasting spots at the roadmap, however don’t placed so much religion into another expectancies until Samsung comes out to formally make sure it.

Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), also known as C8, and perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) are a class of perfluorinated carboxylic acids (PFCs) that have generated much interest in the last two decades due to media attention and an awareness of its extreme persistence (long biologic half-life). These chemicals were historically used in Teflon related products and textiles. History has shown that these chemicals, which were used for stain resistance, contaminate the groundwater across the nation where an industry which used them is nearby. More recently, concern about firefighters who were exposed via foam has been expressed.
Paustenbach and Associates has been involved with these group of chemicals since the early 2000s and has been continuing work understand their effects. We have evaluated occupational exposures to PFOA/PFOS and the effects of its release to groundwater. For example, we were among the first to recognize that water from factories that treated fabrics and carpets was a source of contamination of groundwater due to the distribution of sludges from the local water treatment facility have been applied on to farmlands.


No 'Time to Pretend' as MGMT gear up for Asia tour
Tuesday 22 February 2011
Pretending to be obnoxious rock stars in the belief their band would never get noticed only became a problem for Andrew VanWyngarden and Ben Goldwasser when they suddenly became famous.
For the two core members of the psychedelic New York-based band MGMT, sharp and fast fame brought by the success of their 2007 debut album Oracular Spectacular also tested a friendship formed at university.
"It was a running joke for us when we would perform in college that we'd adopt these fake rock star personas when we played live, thinking that we were never going to get noticed," said Goldwasser on the phone from New York.
"But then we got noticed. And then we kind of freaked out."
MGMT (pronounced M.G.M.T.) are set to embark on an Asian tour that begins in Japan on Tuesday.
That will be followed by appearances in Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, Hong Kong and South Korea, having navigated the tricky follow-up to a successful debut album.
Fame, fortune and recognition as indie heartthrobs has drawn a complicated response from the band formed at Wesleyan University in Connecticut, a liberal arts and sciences school where the pair met as freshmen in September 2001.
An early song, Time to Pretend, was both a fantasy and satire of rock stardom written at a time when neither took seriously the idea of being in a band, Goldwasser says.
But Columbia Records thought differently and signed them, forcing the two fans of uncommercial psychedelia from late reclusive Pink Floyd founder Syd Barrett, or self-destructive Dan Treacy of indie band the Television Personalities, to take life a little more seriously.
Which in part meant not playing the Ghostbusters theme for 45 minutes straight, as was reportedly their wont to do during early live shows.
Most musicians would dream of a record deal being handed to them, but keyboardist and co-composer Goldwasser says he and VanWyngarden, both 28, were troubled by the idea despite it parachuting them from students into stardom.
"We were in denial about it for a long time and didn't believe it was real," he said.
The band won audiences the world over with a debut album packed full of intricate pop melodies with a nod to psychedelia, rock and electronic music. Oracular Spectacular has sold more than one million copies worldwide.
But Goldwasser says he and VanWyngarden found themselves instinctively shrinking back from their success.
"We were getting bigger and bigger crowds but we felt it was just a phenomenon and not actually about what we wanted to be doing," he said.
"It felt like it was getting out of control," he adds. "It did affect our friendship - we had to take something seriously that for such a long time was just a way to blow off steam for us."
Last year began amid accusations MGMT were about to commit commercial suicide with their follow-up album Congratulations and that they sought to pare away the fame and fairweather fans that their debut had brought them.
But it was far from the disaster predicted by some corners of the music press, instead a slow-burning homage to the band's core - albeit distinctly uncommercial - influences.
"There wasn't any sort of analytical or calculated side to it, we weren't trying to throw off fans," said Goldwasser. "That was kind of a tough period."
Congratulations went on to receive positive reviews from fans and critics, and Goldwasser says he and VanWyngarden have come to terms with the knowledge that ideas they might not take seriously nevertheless have a mass appeal.
"Having all this turn into a big deal was a test on our friendship but now we agree how ridiculous it all is. We know to keep at the back of our minds that no matter what happens, none of this is supposed to make sense."

Aashiqui fame actor Rahul Roy has been reacting well to treatment. He is currently in Nanavati Hospital in Mumbai after suffering from a brain stroke a few days back. Director Nitin, who has been bearing the actor's medical expenses, revealed that he is conscious and might need a stent to prevent future attacks. He further said that the doctors will go ahead with the process once the actor's condition is stable. He also asked for help as Rahul Roy cannot access his accounts currently.
Nitin told Mumbai Mirror, "I’ve been in constant touch with his medical staff and his twin Rohit. The latter, who lives in Canada, told me on Thursday morning that Rahul’s physiotherapy and speech therapy is going well. Rohit spoke to Rahul for half a minute and informed that Rahul is conscious and speaking a few sentences. Thanks to everyone’s prayers, he is doing better every day."
He added, "I’ve had discussions with his doctors who have said a stent may be required in the middle cerebral artery to prevent cerebrovascular events in the future. It’s a preventive measure and may prove expensive. Once I return, I will speak with the doctors again regarding costs. I can handle the expenses for now, but if anyone wants to help in any way it will just make it easier for me to help him. I am sure once Rahul recovers, they will be compensated."
Rahul Roy was shooting for film "LAC: Live The Battle" at Kargil when he suffered a brain stroke. The film is being directed by Nitin Kumar Gupta. It is being believed that the Extreme weather conditions caused the stroke. His condition worsed when he showed aphasia symptoms in which all communications of a person get disturbed. It was said that the actor was having difficulty in communicating verbally or in writing or in understanding what people around him are telling him.
Rahul shot to fame with the Mahesh Bhatt-directed "Aashiqui" at the age of 22. He went on to work with the filmmaker on 1990s films like "Junoon" and "Phir Teri Kahani Yaad Aayee". After laying low for some time, the actor joined the first season of the popular TV reality show "Bigg Boss" in 2006, and emerged as the winner.

The unique Hong Kong-style cafe, the companionship of a dog and an old woman, love and care shown in a single-parent family, students of different nationalities, a sick father, siblings with mental illness, a grandmother's green bean soup, the happiness of being content in life and the environmental message of a science story. These topics and more were explored when primary and secondary students showed their creativity and their concern about social issues in vivid stories written for the Competition on Story Writing in Chinese for Students in 2011.
Jointly organised by the Hong Kong Public Libraries (HKPL) of the Leisure and Cultural Services Department and the Hong Kong Children's Art Society, the prize presentation ceremony for the Competition on Story Writing in Chinese for Students in 2011 was held today (July 23) at the Hong Kong Central Library.
The competition was well-received with more than 2 800 entries, among which 24 winning works in three categories were selected.
The Vice-Chairman of the Public Libraries Advisory Committee, Mr Cheung Chi-kong, pointed out during the ceremony that creativity originated from daily life and even the most ordinary thing could have its extraordinary aspects. With keen observation and curiosity, students could always discover new angles in writing.
He added that even old themes could always be transformed into interesting stories with new ideas and creativity. He encouraged students to read extensively and write more to enrich their knowledge and enhance their writing skills.
The competition has been held annually since 1995 to promote students' interest in creative writing, broaden their horizons in reading and enhance their language proficiency.
The competition has three categories: upper primary, junior secondary and senior secondary. To complement this year's competition, the HKPL organised three workshops with professionals in education and well-known writers sharing their writing experiences with students.
The winning entries of the competition will be published in Chinese in a book available at all public libraries and later at the HKPL homepage for public viewing. A list of winners with detailed information is available on the HKPL's website (www.hkpl.gov.hk).

One of the biggest rounds of applause at Salesforce World Tour London 2016 was reserved for Anne-Marie Imafidon.
Anne-Marie is the Co-founder and CEO of Stemettes, a programme dedicated to inspiring more girls to take up careers in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) - fields that are currently 86% male.
Anne-Marie’s own story, as a child prodigy growing up fascinated by how things work but with few role models or opportunities, struck a chord with the audience – men and women alike. Bright young people are being denied a chance to excel, just because of their gender, and we ought to do something about that.
So I’m glad to say that’s exactly what we are doing… and you are too. Here’s how.
In her keynote, Salesforce Chief Adoption Officer Polly Sumner explained how our company champions a new way of giving back to our communities: the 1-1-1 philanthropic model.
It means we donate 1% of our time, equity and product to non-profit organisations. So far we’ve given more than 1.4 million hours of service, $120 million in grants, and $250 million worth of free software to 28,000 good causes around the world.
That’s only possible because of our success, and that’s all down to the innovation of our customers and partners. So thank you.
But it doesn’t end there. More than 780 companies have joined us in making the same pledge, through Pledge 1%. In the UK, that includes names like Sage, Qubit, diginomica and DigitalGenius.
That’s a lot of support, for a lot of organisations. And one of the groups we’ve been particularly excited to partner with is Stemettes.
Most organisations we work with want to become bigger and more influential. But Anne-Marie will only feel her mission is a success when she’s out of a job.
“I’m hoping that one day we can close our doors, because we’re not needed anymore,” she explains. “I want us to make ourselves redundant.”
Sadly, with just 14% of jobs in STEM sectors held by women, there’s some way to go.
That journey is as much about inspiration as it is education. It’s about enabling girls who are interested in STEM subjects to connect with other, like-minded people: an experience one described as “magical”.
Jacquelyn Guderley, Stemettes’ Co-founder & COO, says: “It’s not that there aren’t lots of women out there doing it already, because they are. The problem is that the girls don’t see that. It’s about taking something you love and being able to do it – because why shouldn’t you?”
Stemettes encourage young women to meet and inspire each other at events, as well as organising mentors and work experience.
Anne-Marie describes the recent Outbox Incubator programme as: “Big Brother meets The Apprentice meets Dragon’s Den: 115 girls from around Europe, living under one roof, 45 at a time, for six weeks over one summer. It was a madhouse, but they were learning how to leverage technology for their own start-ups, businesses and careers.”
At Salesforce, we were eager to help, and not only financially. With more than 10,000 schoolgirls engaging with Stemettes’ events – and a huge social media buzz – measuring the impact of the work was proving challenging.
Anne-Marie recalls: “We ran a hackathon for International Women’s Day, and Salesforce came along as the main sponsor and supporter. But in the longer term we also wanted to be smarter about how we run as an organisation.
“We have a lot data, a lot of people, and a lot of interactions. We have fantastic volunteers, as well, and we needed one place to store all of that information – and also to pull together all the tools we used already, like Eventbrite and GetFeedback.
“We needed Salesforce to enable us to map our journey, and understand the impact we’re having.
“Before, we only knew a girl had been to an event twice because she posted photos online. Now not only can we see the girls that we work with, but we can see the ways they interact with us – and that allows us to analyse what we can do to improve.”
At Salesforce, our interest in gender equality is not new. We’re proud to be involved with the Women in Tech movement, and we were delighted that co-Leader of the London Salesforce Women in Technology User Group. Louise Lockie could come to Salesforce World Tour London to collect her #AwesomeAdmin award, which she earned onboarding 22 offices in eight countries for Wilmington plc.
She said: “We provide a space for women – and also friends of women who work in tech – to come together and talk about the challenges they face.
“The Women in Tech community is really strong in the Salesforce ecosystem. We had a super event up at Salesforce Tower – we had a keynote from Anne-Marie, a panel discussion with seven leading women, and Adam Seligman came over from the States.”
We were pleased to help – but then, we’ve always cared about making things fairer.
As Polly Sumner explains: “Since the beginning, our company has been held together by four values. We talk a lot about trust, growth and innovation – but the other one, that we maybe haven’t put out as strongly as we could, is equality.
“It’s not good enough for us to just promote equality in our own company. We want to take it out to the communities that we serve, and make promoting gender and race equality something that we stand for around the world.”
If you’d like to watch Polly’s keynote – including Anne-Marie’s interview – in full, you’ll find it below. But be prepared: you’ll want to get involved. (The good news is, in one way, you already are. Thank you.)

The latest stage of the European debt crisis has seen the emergence of the most serious divisions in the history of the European Union.
Editorialists and economic commentators are publicly speculating about a collapse of the continent’s common currency, and only a few weeks ago German Chancellor Angela Merkel warned that a failure of the euro would mean the end of the European Union itself.
The acrimony between European leaders over the future of the continent climaxed in the criticism made of Germany’s role in the crisis by the chairman of euro zone finance ministers, Jean-Claude Juncker. Following Berlin’s rejection of his proposal for a euro-bond last week, Juncker, long regarded as a close ally of Germany, was unusually blunt in his response. “Germany is thinking a little simply,” he said, adding that it dealt with European affairs in an “un-European manner.”
Within Germany, a new nationalist campaign has been launched to disengage the continent’s largest economy from its commitment to Europe. In his new book Rescue Our Money, the former head of the German business federation, Hans-Olaf Henkel, argues in favour of splitting the euro zone in two, with northern Europe (Germany, the Netherlands, Austria) in one camp and southern countries such as Spain, Italy and France in the other.
Henkel’s proposal, if carried out, would be a prelude to the breakup of the euro and the fracturing of Europe as a whole. His thesis of a two-tier Europe has the backing of the notorious social democrat Thilo Sarrazin, who recently published his own book advancing racist arguments against Muslim immigrants. Presenting Rescue Our Money at its official launch was none other than the German finance minister, Rainer Bruederle.
Forces are coalescing in Germany for the emergence of a new pseudo-populist right-wing party based on nationalism, the defence of the interests of the ruling elite, and an uncompromising onslaught on the past social gains of the working class.
In a number of other European countries, including Italy, Austria, Denmark, Holland and Hungary, ultra-right and racist political formations are already either in government or playing a leading role in determining policy. In France, President Sarkozy has sought to steal the colours of the neo-fascist National Front with campaigns against the country’s Muslim and Sinti and Roma communities.
In every case, the rise to prominence of the extreme right is closely linked to the offensive launched by the ruling elite against the living conditions of European workers and the welfare state system.
Having made trillions of euros available to rescue the continent’s banks, the ruling elites insist that the working population be made to pick up the tab. Now the governments in Berlin and France, along with the EU bureaucracy in Brussels, are dictating punitive austerity programs across the continent that will decimate what remains of existing welfare provisions and plunge additional millions into poverty.
The encouragement of right-wing populism is aimed at dividing workers along nationalist lines and creating the best conditions for this offensive. This is also the source of the chauvinist campaigns by many European governments against the most oppressed social layers.
As the historian Tony Judt points out in his recent history of Europe, the founders of the European Union and the European welfare state system were in the main conservative politicians who had directly experienced and could vividly recall the slaughter of the First and Second World Wars.
Confronted with a radicalisation of the working class after the Second World War, they set about establishing minimum conditions for the welfare of the broad masses of the continent’s citizens. Their aim was to create favourable conditions for European businesses to secure markets, while ensuring against a return to the type of destructive nationalism that had plunged Europe into war.
Now all of these props of the postwar order are being systematically dismantled by the European political elite. The final blow to the political framework sustaining the project of a united capitalist Europe was delivered by the financial crisis of 2008, which exposed the parasitic relationship between European governments, whether conservative or social democratic, and the banks.
Now, economic nationalism is increasingly the order of the day. One European government after another, with the full support of its respective trade union apparatus, has elevated national interest at the expense of workers from other countries to be the highest political principle.
In the final analysis, the current crisis reveals the complete incapacity of the European ruling classes to integrate Europe in a peaceful and progressive manner. The rise of nationalism throughout Europe places back on the agenda all the unresolved issues of the Twentieth Century.
In his writings on the European question in the 1920s, Leon Trotsky warned that should the working class fail to resolve the crisis of European society with its own methods, the solution “will be undertaken by reaction.”
Trotsky’s brilliant assessment of European relations at that time has lost none of its relevance. In his 1926 essay “Europe and America,” Trotsky concluded that only the European working class could unite Europe. He wrote: “Bourgeois economists, pacifists, business sharpers, daydreamers and mere bourgeois babblers are not averse nowadays to talk about a United States of Europe. But that task is beyond the strength of the European bourgeoisie, which is utterly corroded by contradictions. Europe can be unified only by the victorious European proletariat.”
The explosive emergence of profound fault lines in European politics makes clear that Trotsky’s perspective of the United Socialist States of Europe remains the only progressive alternative to the rise of nationalism and the threat of dictatorship and a new world war.

Statistics from Altmetric.com
Job moves are common in most careers these days. Accordingly, the past two decades have seen a rapid accumulation of research in the management and related literatures on job mobility, that is, the movement of individuals between jobs, organisations or types of work.1 This research has primarily been situated in for-profit business firms, but the questions, methods of inquiry and findings could apply more broadly, specifically, to healthcare contexts. For example, when doctors change hospitals, or move from private practice to hospital or health system employment (or vice versa), how does it affect their career success or their patient care outcomes? Doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals experience job mobility in their careers, and these moves could have important implications for them, their patients, their employing organisations and even healthcare policy.
The rise of the boundaryless career, where job moves to new employers and even new occupations is considered normal,2 and the rupture of the traditional loyalty-based employment relationship between workers and employers3 have given rise to less stable careers, making questions around job mobility and career change more interesting than ever. In addition, advances in methods4 and availability of mobility and career history data for a wide variety of occupations and industries from matched employee–employer datasets and online sources such as LinkedIn5 6 have enabled new ways of investigating job mobility and careers. Healthcare is not immune to the larger institutional trends: the imposition of market models to healthcare systems and other changes to healthcare institutions around the world have made career mobility questions increasingly relevant to the healthcare sector. Certainly, job mobility is common for health professionals, and studies of mobility are already present in healthcare research.7–9 Rather than being a comprehensive review of mobility research,10 11 our focus will be …
Contributors GD led the writing for the management literature on job mobility. MG led the writing for implications on healthcare. The authors collaborated on positioning and framing of the article, as well as the differences between healthcare and business contexts.

In spite of the extant law banning the operations of commercial motorcycles within the Jos and the Bukuru metropolis, operators have continued to defiantly contravene the law.
Arewa PUNCH reports that the law, which was passed by the Plateau State House of Assembly in 2012 and assented to by former Governor Jonah Jang, also prohibits tricycles from plying certain designated routes in the state capital.
However, more than 12 years after it was enacted, operators of commercial motorcycles have continued to breach the law in total disgust and disregard to its aims and objectives.
Arewa PUNCH monitored the situation on Monday and observed that with impunity the commercial motorcycles still operated freely in Jos, including along the Bauchi Road, Ahmadu Bello Way, Rayfield, Bukuru express way, Building Materials, Hwolshe, Zaramaganda, Dadin Kowa, Sabon Barki, Rantya, Tudun Wada, Abattoir and the Yakubu Gowon Way, among others.
In separate interviews with our correspondent, a cross-section of the residents expressed their concern over the non-compliance to the law by the motorcyclists, saying that their free operation is constituting a security threat and nuisance to the citizens.
Many of the residents also complain of having lost their valuables and cash to the activities of hoodlums who pose as commercial motorcycle riders.
According to the concerned residents who spoke with Arewa PUNCH, they observe that if nothing is urgently done, given their increasing number on a daily basis, Jos and the Bukuru metropolis would soon be playing host to all manner of motorcyclists who were sacked from other states.
“Honestly, we have a big problem at hand in Jos and the Bukuru axis regarding the activities of these Okada riders,” screamed a Jos resident.
According to him, “One of the primary reasons for banning their operations is public safety. Okada-related accidents have been alarmingly frequent, resulting in injuries and fatalities, particularly among passengers and pedestrians.
“The inherent risks associated with motorcycle riding, including reckless driving, overloading, and lack of proper safety gear, exacerbate these dangers,” he further noted.
“By restricting motorcycle usage, the government aims to mitigate these risks and create a safer environment for all road users.
“But it appears that all the good intentions of the government have been defeated with the return of the commercial motorcycles in virtually every street of Jos and Bukuru even in the presence of security operatives who ordinarily should enforce the law banning their operations,” another resident, Bulus Choji chipped in.
In his estimation, “The situation is as bad as that,” he lamented.
However, some commercial motorcyclists who spoke with our correspondent in Jos insisted that they find it difficult to abandon the trade despite the existing law.
They maintained that they remain in the business in a bid to feed their families.
One of them, Philip Haruna who plies the Rukuba routes to Gada Biu said, “It is not as if we are deliberately violating the law banning our operations but how do we eat if we do not ride the motorcycles? Many of us have families as well. How will they feed? Because it is from what we are able to make that we are able to take care of ourselves and families.
“So, that is the problem. Look at the downturn of our economy. Do we stay idle and die of hunger?” He queried no one exactly, then stressed, “But if the government can help us to find alternative means of livelihood, I’m sure many of our people will vacate the roads,” he sounded positive.
When Arewa PUNCH contacted the Police Public Relations Officer in Plateau State, Alabo Alfred, he insisted that the law banning the operations of commercial motorcycles was still in force.
“The total ban on the operation of commercial motorcycles also known as ‘Okada’ within the Jos-Bukuru metropolis remains in force,” the PPRO said.
He thus urged members of the public to desist from violating extant laws in their own interest but cooperate with law enforcement agents, and adhere to all regulations and directives, and report any suspicious activities or individuals to the nearest police station.
Speaking in a similar vein, the state government also frowned at the constant violation of the law banning commercial motorcycles and warned those responsible to desist from such acts in their best interest.
The state Commissioner for Information, Musa Ashoms, who gave the warning maintained that the government is committed to sanitising the transport sub sector in the best interest of the Plateau people
Ashoms pointed out, “The law banning the operation of commercial motorcycles in Jos and Bukuru metropolis has not been repealed. So there is no reason for anybody to go against the law.
“As a government, we are committed to bringing sanity to the transportation system in the state, and our plans to achieve this purpose is on course.
“Part of that plan is the reason why the government has acquired mass transit metro buses which will ply major routes in the state capital at subsidised rates to ease the transportation problem being experienced by the people. And very soon, the buses which have already arrived the state will hit the streets,” the Commissioner assured.

No poll to predict the #1?
Interesting theory, but I feel like 2000 was the perfect time for her to come back with Spinning Around as that summer played host to many disco-tinged hits like Don't Call Me Baby, Groovejet and Lady (Hear Me Tonight) so it fit the sound. Although I do think if she'd released a typical dance/pop album in 1997 she'd have not experienced her wilderness years - although she perhaps had to in order to get it so right for Light Years and subsequently Fever.JakeP wrote:Kylie really missed a trick in 1997 as this was when dance/pop was popular and a song Spinning around could've been so much successful in 1997.
I guess her 94-98 era was just a natural progression for an artist who was in her mid 20s and had spent most of her career as a SAW pop puppet. She definitely needed it to show that she was an artist who had longevity and creativity; so many of the tracks from that era are firm fan favourites now and Confide In Me reaching #2 showed that there was an appetite for an alternative Kylie. Her 2000 reinvention combined her new maturity with her pop roots perfectly.heppolo wrote:I suppose that Kylie wanted to be liked not only by the general public but by the critics as well.
When if not in the 90s she could have tried to get more experimental without completely falling off the radar.
However, it might have been a move towards the album-seller orientation back in the day when Alanis Morissette and Bjork were selling a lot

I love books about books. This past year, I not only enjoyed reading several of Pat Conroy’s books, but I especially enjoyed his book about his own readings.
My Reading Life is an enjoyable book. Conroy tells of his own reading experiences, favorite books, book store adventures, and contacts with fellow authors and literary folks. Sometimes, he is too rough around the edges (and not just the edges), but Conroy is a master stylist and a powerful wordsmith. I often have to slow down and read his prose slowly just to hear the poetry in it.
I bought a copy of My Reading Life this past summer at a Half Price Bookstore in Dallas (guided there by my friend Kent Travis). At some point, after I finished the book, Nick carried it off to Wheaton where it remains.
About a month ago, I found another copy of the book. It was ‘like new.’ The only thing that was not ‘like new’ was the price–$2–for a hardback book. It is always useful to have a second copy of a good book, so I bought it.
Today, I took that copy to my classroom so that I could read about Conroy’s experience in being coaxed into reading Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings. I opened the book, turning to the title page, and then nearly passed out.
THE BOOK IS AUTOGRAPHED BY MR. CONROY.
I showed each student in the class the autograph and then walked out in the hall and yelled, “This is amazing.” What a day! What a blessing!


NEWS – Ever wanted to take a detailed, beautiful photograph and scale it down to a 1-bit black and white 244 x 144 pixel low-resolution image? Me neither. But someone did and created Etch-A-Snap.
Etch-A-Snap is controlled by a Raspberry Pi processor. It takes a regular image and then downscales it to one-bit black and white. The processor then converts the image into plotter control commands that are fed to gears used to drive the knobs on a small Etch-A-Sketch. Images are definitely low-resolution, but the tech behind it all is pretty cool. All this takes time – 15 minutes up to an hour – to get results. Still, as the inventor says, it’s faster than film!
Here is a video showing how it works.
It isn’t for sale and is just a concept project for the moment. For more information and additional sample image videos, visit the Etch-A-Snap project page here.

To keep the Philippine Air Force’s (PAF) fleet of UH-1H combat utility helicopters serviceable and mission-ready at all times, talks are underway with the Japan Ministry of Defense’s Acquisition, Technology and Logistics Agency (ATLA) regarding the transfer of “Huey” spare parts to the PAF.
This was confirmed by Department of National Defense (DND) Secretary Delfin Lorenzana on the sidelines of the transfer ceremony for the two Beechcraft King Air TC-90 aircraft in Sangley Point, Cavite early this week.
“We are pleased to announce that the DND has already started discussions with ATLA regarding the possible transfer of UH-1H helicopter spare parts to the PAF,” he said when asked on whether the Philippines can expect more equipment aid from Japan.
The PAF is known to operate 40 to 60 units Huey helicopters in its fleet.
These spare parts, if the talks are formalized, will extend the service life of the UH-1H currently in PAF service.
The helicopter is being used for troop and supply transport, humanitarian assistance and disaster relief and close air support missions.
“We are looking toward the actualization of this proposal,” Lorenzana stressed.
The DND chief also expressed his thanks and gratitude for the support being extended by the Japanese government to the Philippines.

The Navy awarded Boeing [BA] two contracts on May 13 for Stand-off Land Attack Missile – Expanded Response (SLAM-ER) and Harpoon missiles to several foreign customers, primarily Saudi Arabia.
The SLAM-ER contract is for $1.97 billion and covers building and delivering 650 missiles for Saudi Arabia as well as non-recurring engineering associated with missile obsolescence redesign efforts.
The work will mostly be split between facilities in St. Louis (47 percent) and Indianapolis (37 percent) and is expected to be finished by December 2028.
The full contract amount was obligated at time of award and the Defense Department noted it was not competitively procured pursuant to acquisition regulations.
Separately, the Navy awarded Boeing a $657 million modification to procure and deliver 467 Harpoon full-rate production Lot 91 Block II missiles and equipment to Brazil, India, Japan, the Netherlands, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, and Thailand.
The missiles procurement is divided into 402 missiles and equipment for Saudi Arabia; 53 missiles for Qatar; eight missiles for Thailand; four missiles for Brazil; and various support equipment for Japan, the Netherlands, India, and South Korea.
The work will be largely performed in facilities in St. Louis (30 percent) and McKinney, Texas (28 percent), and is expected to be finished by December 2026.
A Boeing official noted this both extends production of some missiles while restarting the production line of others.
“These awards will not only extend production of the Harpoon program through 2026, they will also restart the production line for SLAM ER and ensure deliveries through 2028,” Cindy Gruensfelder, vice president of Boeing Weapons, said in a statement.
The company noted Boeing last delivered the SLAM-ER in 2008 but in October 2019 started construction on a new 35,000 square foot facility to support increased production of the SLAM ER and Harpoon program. Boeing expects construction to be finished by 2021.


Front seal: The front seal is positioned behind the primary pulley that powers all of the belts, which is, of course, continually spinning. The front seal is made of rubber and is designed to withstand high temperatures. The primary pulley causes any leaking oil to be expelled in a large circle. As a result, what is it that causes a front crankshaft seal to leak?
What is the function of the Crankshaft Seal?The crankshaft seal is coupled to the engine’s front end near the front of the engine.It, together with the timing cover, is responsible for sealing the end of the crankshaft.Typically constructed of metal and rubber or silicone, these seals are inserted in the front timing cover to keep the end of the crankshaft from turning when the engine is being driven.

- Tools and equipment: jack stands, new front crankshaft seal, screwdriver set, seal removal and installation kit, socket set (1/2″ drive), and a new front crankshaft seal.
How do you repair the front crank shaft seal?
- Take note of the following: Oil loss will eventually result in catastrophic internal engine damage.
- When replacing the crankshaft seal, check for damage on the sealing surface of the crankshaft or the crankshaft pulley (depending on the engine type).
- Rubber components are degraded by oil.
What exactly is a ‘front crank seal’?
On the front of the engine, there is a crankshaft seal, which is a spherical donut-shaped seal that pushes into the timing cover. The snout of the crankshaft passes through the center of the doughnut (aka the donut hole).
What are the symptoms of a bad crankshaft seal?
- Symptoms of a Failing Crankshaft Seal or a Bad Seal The motor of the vehicle will begin to create a buzzing noise.
- The release of oil from the seal occurs when the seal has come into contact with the air.
- You’ll see oil leaking into your driveway, or even worse, below the engine of your vehicle.
- In regular intervals, you can see oil pouring out of the crack.
- A stain should be present in the area where the seal is placed within the engine compartment of the vehicle.
How much does it cost to fix a crank seal?
The total cost of replacing the crankshaft seal would be around $88 if OEM components were used and approximately $76 if aftermarket parts were used.The work time required would be around 0.9 of an hour.A factory component costs around $13, whereas an Apex seal costs approximately $7.What is the approximate cost of replacing a front crankshaft seal?
The majority of the expense of the front main seal is labor.
How to replace front differential seal?
- The spindle bearing and outer seal should be replaced in the sixth step. Figure 16. Replace the spindle bearing with a new one
- Figure 17. Replace the spindle bearing with a new one. Figure 18 shows how to seat the spindle bearing with the help of the bearing driver. Spindle seal is situated in the bearing’s rear half.
Is it difficult to replace crank seal?
A transverse engine, i.e., one that drives from the front wheels to the rear wheels, can be very difficult to repair, especially if the seal is worn out. Changing the trim on a rear-wheel-drive car can be either simple or complicated, depending on what has to be removed in order to remove the engine cover off the vehicle. What is the approximate cost of replacing the rear crankshaft seal?
How much does it cost to replace a crank seal?
How much does it cost to repair a crankshaft seal as a result of this?The majority of the expense of the front main seal is labor.If you were to undertake the work yourself, the seal would cost between $12.00 and $52.00, depending on where you purchased it from.For those who want to have the work done at a repair shop, expect to pay between $250.00 and $550.00, depending on the manufacturer and whether or not the vehicle is front or rear wheel driven.
What is a crankshaft and what does it do?
What exactly is a crankshaft, and what does it accomplish?The crankshaft is the largest and heaviest of an engine’s moving elements, and it also happens to be the most important.With out a question, the crankshaft is the fundamental component of the combustion engine’s construction and operation.Nothing in the process happens without a crankshaft to propel it forward.
This includes the steps of intake, compression, combustion, and exhaust.
How do you check a chainsaw crank seal?
- Stihl 044 is a four-stroke engine. Seal with a crank (oiler side) SawmillMan. Ozhoo, I have a 044 and I need to repair the crank seal on the oiler/clutch side of the transmission. Dswensen, you’ve got it all. Before you begin disassembling the chain brake system, take some nice photographs of how it appears.
How do I know if my crank seal is leaking?
Symptoms of a Crank Seal Oil Leak include the following: This is the quickest and most accurate method of detecting an oil leak from a crank seal. If your Mini has an oil leak, it will most likely occur under the very front of the engine block, or near the back of the engine block, where the crank seals are located. When a crank seal has been fractured or cracked, engine oil begins to leak.
How much does it cost to replace crankshaft seal?
However, to give you an early but rough estimate of the cost of the seal itself, which is the part, the seal itself is normally between $20 and $25. The labor time on your automobile will likely be in the region of 2 to 3 hours, depending on whatever type of the engine you have (dual cam versus single cam).
How serious is a crank seal leak?
If there has been any type of damage to the crankcase seal, it will result in a constant pool of oil under your car. This is nearly always an indication that something needs to be replaced – and that item needs to be changed fast. Do not operate the car until the problem has been resolved, otherwise you risk injuring other engine components.
What would happen if the crankshaft seal was leaking?
Whenever the crankshaft seal becomes dry, cracked, or broken, it might result in an oil leak. When there are little leaks, oil can build on the undersides of the engine, and when there are significant breaches, oil can drop from the front of the engine.
Can you replace a crankshaft without removing the engine?
The replacement of the crank does not necessitate the dismantling of the entire engine. Rod caps and main caps should be kept together, and in the same location. Preventing your machine from being reassembled by replacing the main rod and bearings is a smart idea.
Can you drive with an oil leak?
The initial hint of an oil leak isn’t always indicative of a serious problem. It is possible to continue driving for a short period of time once you have determined that your engine has sufficient oil. It’s usually better to deal with an oil leak as quickly as possible, though, to avoid being caught off guard by a larger oil leak.
How much does it cost to fix a main seal?
In spite of the fact that the parts will not cost more than $100, the expense of labor is what will make the rear main seal replacement quite expensive. Technicians will charge between $500 and $1800 for only the labor, with the typical total cost of repair coming to about $1100.
Do you have to drain oil to change crankshaft seal?
It is not necessary to drain the oil for this task.
Does thicker oil help with leaks?
As the temperature of an engine rises, the oil thins, making it more prone to leaks caused by poor gaskets. If you drain your vehicle’s oil, and then replace it with a heavier weight or synthetic oil, you can help to prevent oil from seeping out of minor cracks in the gasket seals.
Why does my car leak oil when parked?
It is most often caused by deteriorated engine gaskets or oil seals. Sometimes these components will deteriorate with time, but more often than not, if you have this type of leak, it is due to old, unclean oil—possibly due to the fact that you have not had your oil changed in a long enough period of time.
What prevents oil from leaking out around the back of the crankshaft?
Crankshaft seals at the front and back Seals are located at both ends of the crankshaft and are responsible for preventing oil from escaping from the engine. The front and rear main seals are frequently referred to as the front and rear main seals, respectively.

The marina has a 400-boat-capacity on the sea and a 100 boat-capacity on land. The architectural design of the marina was made by Atelier Xavier Bohl, the designer of Port Grimaud of St. Tropez and Ayyapı Mimarlık and covers 31,000 square meters.
This is to be the latest in a succession of marinas in the region according to the authorities. Speaking at the opening ceremony, Turkish Transportation Minister Binali Yıldırım told reporters that 400 million liras are to be invested in expanding the capacity of Izmir port.
The plan is to split the port into sections for passenger and cargo transport, and then to build two new finger piers to increase the number of passenger ships the port can receive.
After explaining how the increase in passenger ships coming to Izmir from 18 to 29 had left the port at capacity, Yildirim said: “We will add two more finger piers to the passenger port. The facility will also contribute to tourism in the city.”
Yildirirm said that the new investment, which will increase the port’s yacht capacity to 2600, 20% of Turkey‘s capacity, will make Izmir a marina centre. The minister also told of bidding studies for further marina’s in the Izmir districts of Karaburun, Sifne, Seferihisar, Mordoğan and Yeni Foça after Sığacık and Çeşme, adding that they will be put out to tender this year.
İzmir and Çeşme are becoming the center of yacht tourism, he said. “Turkey should receive a higher share from nearly 1 million private boats sailing in the Mediterranean Sea. With enterprises opened last year, Turkey’s capacity has increased from 10,000 to 15,000. The target for 2013 is 50,000.”
This is all part of the government’s aim to open up Turkey to higher-income-band tourists, and to move away from the dominance of the package holiday.

These five CEOs didn’t sell in May and go away. Instead, as the days ticked down to Memorial Day, they bought shares in their companies.
The top executives of Macy’s (ticker: M), Continental Resources (CLR), Bunge (BG), CenturyLink (CTL) and Cognizant Technology Solutions (CTSH) plunked down cash to buy shares on the open market. All five stocks are in the red for 2019.
Buying stock is one lever executives can pull to show confidence in a lagging stock. While such purchases may be a bit of a performance, there is something satisfying as an investor to see a CEO laying down cash, as opposed to using options to buy at a discount.
CenturyLink’s CEO said the purchase highlights his belief in the business. The remaining companies either declined to make their executives available to comment or didn’t respond to requests.
Macy’s stock has tumbled 29.4% year to date through Friday’s close, wiping out last year’s 18.2% rise. The retailer’s shares still haven’t recovered since plunging in January, when Macy’s reported disappointing November and December same-store sales.
CEO Jeffrey Gennette paid $109,785 on May 16 for 5,000 Macy’s shares, an average per-share price of $21.96. Gennette now owns 104,053 Macy’s shares in his personal account and an additional 3,828 shares through a 401(k) plan, according to a form he filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. He last purchased stock in April 2018 when he paid $291,000 for 10,000 shares, an average per-share price of $29.10.
Continental Resources stock slid 24.1% in 2018, and so far in 2019, it is down another 4.3%. But Chairman and CEO Harold G. Hamm seems to expect a turnaround. He knows the oil producer better than anyone else: Hamm founded Continental Resources in 1967 and has been its only CEO.
He paid $4.0 million on May 16 for 93,000 Continental Resources shares, an average per-share price of $42.71. Hamm now owns 3.5 million shares in a personal account, an additional 64,452 shares through an investment entity, and a further 283.1 million shares through a trust. He last purchased stock in March, paying $34 million for 791,828 Continental Resources shares, an average per-share price of $42.95.
Bunge CEO Gregory Heckman got a two-for-one deal when he paid $2 million on May 21 for 38,588 shares, an average per-share price of $51.93. He received an additional 38,588 shares of the agribusiness giant through his employment agreement, which provided that he receive a one-time award of an additional $2 million of shares when he purchased $2 million in stock. Heckman was named Bunge’s CEO in April. Heckman now owns 93,642 Bunge shares. The company’s stock is down 5.4% so far this year, following last year’s 20.3% drop.
CenturyLink stock is having the toughest time of the bunch in 2019. It is down 33.3% year to date, after a 9.2% drop in 2018. Delayed regulatory filings and executive turnover have eroded investors’ confidence in the wireline telecommunications company.
CenturyLink President and CEO Jeff Storey made his second big purchase of shares this year, paying $491,480 on May 23 for 50,000 shares, an average per-share price of $9.83. He now owns 3.24 million CenturyLink shares in a personal account and an additional 5,654 shares in a 401(k) account.
“I believe in the strength of our company,” Storey said in a statement that CenturyLink provided to Barron’s. “We operate one of the world’s largest, most advanced fiber networks and I have a strong conviction that we are doing the right things to create long-term shareholder value. My continued investment, through stock purchases, represents my belief in the value of the business.”

Cognizant stock tumbled earlier this month after the information-technology outsourcer lowered its financial forecasts. The shares are down 3.5% year to date, following a 10.6% drop in 2018. CEO Brian Humphries, who was named to the post April 1, made his first open-market stock purchase just ahead of the long weekend. He paid $1.2 million on May 23 for 19,000 shares, an average per-share price of $61.09. The shares Humphries purchased now represent his total holdings in Cognizant stock.

Chinese smartphone giant Xiaomi is set to launch at least ten 5G-compatible phones over the next year, according to CEO Lei Jun.
Speaking at the World Internet Conference in Wuzhen, Lei said that demand for the company's first 5G phone in China, the Mi 9 Pro, had far surpassed expectations. The high number of sales had, Lei went on, pushed the company to plan for manufacturing 5G phones at more affordable prices alongside its existing flagships.
"People in the industry fear that next year 4G models won't sell, this is a step you have no choice but to take," Lei said, as reported by Reuters. "So we hope that operators can speed up their expansion of 5G base stations."
The Mi 9 Pro was announced in September touting a Qualcomm Snapdragon 855+ processor, 6.39-inch AMOLED display, and a three-camera setup, priced at approximately $520. In contrast, the Samsung Galaxy S10 5G, which has similar specs, starts at $1,399.
The move, in China at least, could make 5G connectivity a general standard of a cellular phones rather than a feature currently reserved for high-end devices as it is in America and Europe.
Although Xiaomi is going to produce more 5G phones at home, the state of play in the United States means that it still might not be the right time for customers to buy a 5G phone - whether that's one made by an American or foreign company. When announcing the Pixel 4, and explaining why it's not 5G-compatible, Google's VP of product management, Brian Rakowski, said that 5G coverage is not available in enough places and takes up too much power to be worth the cost right now.
More stories about the difficulty of 5G connectivity are found behind the launch of the iPhone 11 Pro. The only US-compatible 5G chipset that would have been ready for Apple's announcement is the Qualcomm X50, but that modem doesn't work with multi-band networks and seems to be responsible for devices overheating in summer.
While the race to 5G continues across America, it looks increasingly likely that China will be the country to first provide an array of compatible and cheap consumer devices that could make lower-latency, faster internet connections a reality for all users.

I applied for a long-term care insurance policy but was denied due to having a pacemaker installed in January. The agent who presented the LTC plan suggested that I apply for cancer insurance to help with out-of-pocket costs.
I had not applied for long-term care before because I don’t turn 65 until this October. Well, now I am discovering that waiting until I was older was not a good idea. Can you please explain the difference between cancer insurance and long-term care insurance?
Thank you, Leonard, from Tampa, FL
At the Toni Says® offices, I am noticing an increase in issues with long-term care, because many are waiting until retirement, long past 65, to apply for a traditional long-term care policy. By then, the premium is unaffordable for their retirement budget, or they cannot qualify due to health issues.
It is important for Americans to begin searching for long-term care insurance when they are turning 50, so that the premiums are more affordable, and the plan can grow with at least a minimum of 3% compounded lifetime inflation factor.
The cost of nursing home care is projected to rise drastically from an average yearly cost of $115,000 in 2023 to more than $207,000 in 20 years. The average cost of assisted living, which is less expensive than nursing home care, is approximately $57,000 per year and is projected to rise in 20 years to about $103,000 per year. Yet, most want to stay home, and I cannot imagine what that cost will be in the future! Today the cost is around $30/hr.
There is a major difference between long-term care plans and cancer insurance. The insurance industry has designed different types of products for Americans who are concerned about long-term care and want to find a plan that is affordable or that can be approved due to underwriting, which was the problem you experienced.
Let me explain.
A cancer insurance plan will pay a lump sum amount when one is diagnosed with cancer. For example, for a specific monthly premium, a plan pays a set amount of $30,000. While a cancer plan is less expensive than an LTC policy, it does not offer the benefits of an LTC plan.

"But I will tell you what: the first man that walks in my daughter’s bathroom, he ain’t going to have to worry about surgery.” -- Lt. Gen. (ret.) William “Jerry” Boykin
I’m sure there are a great many people who are probably shocked to see that quote from William Boykin, but why should they be? Men have had that sort of protective attitude toward their daughters for as long as anyone can remember. That hasn’t changed, but what has recently changed is the profoundly unhealthy attitude many people in our society have taken towards transsexualism.
Determining what percentage of the population is actually transgender is very difficult. For example, would Bruce Jenner have counted before he started dressing in women’s clothes or not? But, the best estimate puts transgenders at about .3% of the population. However, if you’re talking about people who’ve had hormones and surgery and also dress in the opposite gender’s clothes as opposed to simply “feeling like a woman,” it’s most certainly lower. On the other hand, roughly 50.4% of Americans really are women. That means there are 168 women for every transgender person in America. Even if we accept that a transgender man dressed like a woman would be embarrassed to go into a men’s bathroom, doesn’t it make more sense for him to be uncomfortable than all those women? Why do his rights supersede the rights of so many women who just want to use the bathroom in peace without prying male eyes watching them?
Even with the limited experience we have as a society with this ridiculous idea, there have already been some incidents that should prompt the concern of lawmakers who are interested in protecting women in their state.
* "A Palmdale, California man wearing women’s clothing was arrested in a Lancaster Macy’s store after he was seen in a women’s bathroom. The man was allegedly videotaping women in the bathroom."
* “Seattle Parks and Recreation is facing a first-of-a-kind challenge to gender bathroom rules. A man undressed in a women’s locker room, citing a new state rule that allows people to choose a bathroom based on gender identity. It was a busy time at Evans Pool....The pool was open for lap swim. According to Seattle Parks and Recreation, a man wearing board shorts entered the women’s locker room and took off his shirt. Women alerted staff, who told the man to leave, but he said “the law has changed and I have a right to be here.”
How would you feel if you watched your 8-year-old daughter walk into a locker room and that man in Seattle walked in right after her? For that matter, what would you think about your college-aged daughter having to get dressed next to Bruce Jenner, who still has his male genitalia and is attracted to women? In a society where you can’t go five minutes without hearing someone scream “rape culture” or “it’s a war on women,” how is it that a threat to the safety, comfort and privacy of women in the bathroom is being treated like it is irrelevant?
It stems from the uniquely unhealthy way we treat this mental disorder and, yes, if you feel like you are the wrong gender, you have a mental disorder. The good news, especially if you’re young, is that it’s probably not a permanent condition. As the former psychiatrist in chief for Johns Hopkins Hospital Dr. Paul McHugh has said, “80% of those kids will” grow out of it as they get older.
So, what about the other 20% who will feel like they have the “wrong” gender long-term? Mental illness doesn’t make you a bad or broken person any more than a broken leg does, but like a broken leg, your disorder needs to be treated. Some people get over a broken leg in a few months. Others may have to deal with the consequences of that misfortune for the rest of their lives. So it is with mental illness. If you have a mental illness, it is possible that you may have to struggle with it for your entire life. That’s a sad reality that millions of decent people have to deal with every day.
Unfortunately, when it comes to transsexuals we make two huge mistakes.
First, we encourage them to embrace their mental illness. We don’t do this with depression, schizophrenia, paranoia, multiple personality disorder or almost anything else because it’s a terrible idea. It’s like telling someone who’s depressed that he’s worthless and everyone else would be better off without him. We would be appalled if anyone did that; yet encouraging someone to mutilate himself in a futile attempt to change genders is an even more horrible thing to do to another human being.
Our second mistake is that instead of having sympathy for people in that position, wishing them well and hoping for their recovery, we insist that everyone else cater to their mental disorder. There’s no law that says you have to stop cutting your hedges because your paranoid neighbor is suspicious of it. There’s no law that says you have to ask a person with multiple personality disorder whom he’s speaking to so you don’t shock him if you call him the wrong name. So, why are we willing to violate the privacy of half the population at one of their most vulnerable points during the day in order to cater to a mental disorder that afflicts a fraction of a percent of Americans?
This is insanity and until this mental health issue is no longer falsely treated like a civil rights issue, legislatures should do their duty and protect their female citizens by passing bathroom bills.

text: The fundamental symmetries, charge conjugation (C), parity (P) and time reversal (T), play a significant role in the Standard Model (SM) of elementary particle physics. Of these, T symmetry and the combined CP symmetry are the least well understood, and they hold valuable clues for unraveling the secrets of nature. All subatomic particles are postulated to possess an intrinsic property known as a permanent electric dipole moment (EDM). The EDM of an atom is a combination of those of each constituent particle and also CP-violating interactions between the particles. Being many-particle systems, atoms and molecules are ideal candidates for probing a rich variety of both T- and CP-violating interactions. Paramagnetic atoms, which have a single valence electron in their outer shell, are sensitive to subtle signals associated with CP violations in the leptonic sector, i.e., the EDM of the electron. At present, we are developing a high-intensity laser-cooled Fr factory at RIKEN accelerator facility in an attempt to evaluate the EDM of Fr to an accuracy of 10-30 ecm. Laser cooling is important for achieving highly accurate EDM measurements, since it allows long interaction times using an optical lattice. The current status of the laser-cooled Fr EDM experiments is presented in this paper.
