Section 4 : Other Reporting Requirements
AMSA will be developing a purchaser provider arrangement with DOTARS to cover the provision of transport safety assistance to Indonesia. An agreement between the parties will be developed to define responsibilities and control arrangements.
Funds for the project are to be appropriated to DOTARS with $0.8m to be provided to AMSA in 2007-08.
Overview of AMSA-s Cost Recovery Arrangements
When AMSA was established in 1990, the Australian Government took a policy decision that AMSA-s ship safety and regulatory services would be fully cost recovered from the shipping industry primarily by three statutory levies and fee for service sources. The three levies are:
- The Marine Navigation Levy funds maintenance and management of Australia-s national network of aids to navigation. As the network primarily assists the safe navigation of commercial shipping, the Australian Government policy is to recover the full cost from the industry. This is in line with the "user pays" principle so those benefiting meet the cost.
- The Regulatory Functions Levy funds the safety and environmental regulation and surveillance of the shipping industry to ensure seaworthiness and safe operation of ships in Australian waters. The Australian Government policy is to recover the full cost of ship safety and regulatory functions from the industry in line with public sector pricing principles to recover avoidable costs. Shipping is an economic activity requiring regulation in the community interest and the cost of such regulation should be borne by those generating the need for it and not by the general community.
- The Protection of the Sea Levy funds the operation of Australia-s National Plan to Combat Pollution of the Sea by Oil and Other Noxious and Hazardous Substances and the NMERA. The recovery of the full costs of managing the National Plan and the NMERA is based on the principle of the "potential polluter pays". Any ship may require pollution or emergency response services under these national arrangements and hence the industry should meet the cost of maintaining these services.
Table 2.5 outlines total estimated levies and Table 2.3 outlines total estimated fees and charges in the 2007-08 Budget. This shows AMSA-s primary funding source for its safety and regulatory functions is through its levies and only a small part of revenue is from fees and charges. The Australian Government receives the statutory levy payments from the shipping industry and these funds are appropriated to AMSA under section 48 of the AMSA Act as Special Appropriations.
AMSA-s search and rescue coordination services are met by the Australian Government through Budget Community Service Obligation (CSO) funding. Under a number of international conventions, Australia is obliged to provide search and rescue services for persons in aircraft and vessels in distress in Australia-s internationally designated search and rescue region. This covers almost 53 million square kilometres or one tenth of the earth-s surface and comprises parts of the east Indian, southwest Pacific and Southern Oceans. The majority of search and rescue incidents involve recreational and fishing vessels and small aircraft.
The AMSA Act requires in section 12 that AMSA is to consult, where appropriate, in the performance of its functions and the exercise of its powers with government, commercial, industrial, consumer and other relevant bodies and organisations. AMSA has established an AMSA Advisory Committee of key stakeholders, which regularly discusses management of AMSA-s levy system and cost recovery policies.
Monitoring and Review
AMSA annually reviews the level of levies required to recover its costs. It also has regularly reviewed its levy arrangements, consistent with Australian Government policy, to establish if the underlying operating principles and methodology remain sound and appropriate. In 1997, AMSA commissioned a comprehensive review of the principles and policies underpinning its levy arrangements by an independent consultant, involving extensive consultation with stakeholders. This review was updated in 2002 by the same independent consultant conducting an examination of the strategic directions of the levy system. AMSA accepted the recommendations of these reviews and implemented them in consultation with stakeholders. AMSA also has regularly reviewed its fees and charges in consultation with relevant stakeholders.
The Australian Government Cost Recovery Guidelines require a review of cost recovery arrangements every five years. AMSA undertook a comprehensive review of its current cost recovery arrangements against these guidelines in 2006-07. This found that overall AMSA-s cost recovery arrangements are consistent and comply with the requirements and principles outlined in the Guidelines. AMSA will continue to monitor its cost recovery arrangements on a regular basis. A further review of levies involving stakeholder consultations is scheduled to take place in 2007-08.
AMSA has no Australian Government Indigenous Expenditure.

Micro and nano technologies are of increasing importance in microfluidics devices used for electroporation (electroporation – the permeabilization of the cell membrane with brief high electric field pulses). Electrochemical reactions of electrolysis occur whenever an electric current flows between an electrode and an ionic solution. It can have substantial detrimental effects, both on the cells and solutions during the electroporation. As electrolysis is a surface phenomenon, between electrodes and solution, the extent of electrolysis is increased in micro and nano electroporation over macro-electroporation, because the surface area of the electrodes in micro and nano electroporation is much larger. A possible way to eliminate the electrolytic effect is to develop non-electrolytic microelectroporation by coating the microelectroporation devices with a dielectric insulating layer. In this study, we examine the effect of a dielectric insulating layer on the performance of a singularity microelectroporation device that we have recently designed. Using numerical analysis, we study the effects of various design parameters including, input sinusoidal voltage amplitude and frequency, geometrical configuration and material electrical properties on the electroporation performance of the non-electrolytic microelectroporation device. In the simulation, we used properties of four real dielectric materials and four solutions of interest for microelectroporation. We characterized the effect of various design parameters of relevance to singularity based microelectroporation, on non-electrolytic microelectroporation. Interestingly, we found that the system behaves in some aspects as a filter and in many circumstances saturation of performance is reached. After saturation is reached, changes in parameters will not affect the performance of the device.

Mike Tiano makes a new argument for Yes’ long-overdue induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Post Tagged with: "Yes"
“Madrigal” may be the only track on Yes’ disappointing 1978 album ‘Tormato’ which ends too soon.
Preston Frazier lists his five Best Concerts of 2016, with two special honorable mentions.
This second song from Yes’ ‘Tormato’ has a more straight-ahead sensibility than we usually expect from the world’s greatest progressive rock band.
As an opening track, “Future Times/Rejoice” is not a good omen for the rest of Yes’ ‘Tormato.’
Up until recently, “Awaken” was at the bottom of my list when I thought of Yes’ so-called epic songs.
Over just three verses and one hook-driven chorus, Yes’ “Wonderous Stories” demonstrates prog rock in its direct and most accessible form.
Despite the fact that “Parallels” is a solo contribution from the late Chris Squire, there is no doubt this is a Yes song.
Despite some pre-session turmoil, “Turn of the Century” finds Yes focused, inspired and acting as one cohesive unit.
The meaning of “Going For the One” doesn’t matter, as Yes does more with this abstract gem than their contemporaries were striving for at the time.

Close to her
I was doing my duty at another boring cocktail party of a friend trying to look interested as people talked, laughed and joked around me while I observed others in the room wondering if I slipped away whether anyone would miss me.
More couple were coming through the door and as I glanced that way I noticed a raven haired beauty arrive accompanied by her husband, beau or whatever who seeing a male buddy left his partner who then searched the room for someone she knew to talk to.
It was then that our eyes met and we both stared at each other for ages which in reality was only a couple of seconds and when I raised my glass to her she hesitated at first then slowly made her way through the crush of people to be at my side.
There and then, close to her I was astounded for her eyes were laughing at me as I told her my name and she told me hers; I got her a drink all the time drinking her in myself and in the end I blurted out "You are so beautiful, I would never abandon you in a place like this for others to steal you away."
"Is that you intention?" she asked smiling as dimples formed in her cheeks and by that action prompted me to let my right hand reach down to touch her left hand to check the rings on her fingers.
She leaned close to me and said "I was warned about you, I am glad to find that all they said about you is true, so what is your plan?"

The Clippers are still reeling from an earlier-than-desired playoff exit at the hands of the Rockets, but they may have a bigger issue on their hands.
According to Fox Sports' Bill Reiter, center DeAndre Jordan and point guard Chris Paul had a falling out during the season. That could pose a problem, because Jordan — who averaged 11.5 points, 15 rebounds and more than two blocks per game — is an unrestricted free agent this offseason and a major piece of the Clippers' puzzle.
"Things aren't good there," a league source familiar with the inner workings of the Clippers organization said. Asked if the issues between the two were serious, the source said, "Oh yeah. (Jordan) might leave. He really might."
While those comments are far from a ringing endorsement for Jordan's return to the Clippers, two factors could trump issues with Paul:
First, because of Jordan's Bird Rights, Los Angeles can offer him the most money on a maximum contract, something Jordan will almost certainly seek in his next deal.
Second, Jordan has a strong relationship with Clippers coach Doc Rivers, and Rivers has made it clear he wants Jordan to stay.
Of course, there will be plenty of other suitors for Jordan this summer, but the adage about the grass not always being greener could apply here.

Latitude: Billy Bragg’s Essex twang (and knobbly knees) draw a big crowd to the Obelisk Arena
PUBLISHED: 16:59 18 July 2014 | UPDATED: 18:09 18 July 2014

He’s been playing music since the 1970s but Billy Bragg can still command a stage in front of thousands.
The activist came to Latitude showcasing his “Americana” – music he says is for people “who like The Smiths”.
His 50 minute set drew a large crowd at the Obelisk Arena from festival-goers young and old.
Bragg can never be mistaken for a Jeff Buckley or Thom Yorke in terms of his vocal range but what he does have is charisma.
Jokes aplenty, he kept the laughs coming throughout, whether it was on his “knobbly knees” or “Essex twang”.
He’s been on Newsnight but he was never too serious with his audience, instead playing his songs which matched the rather chilled atmosphere.
One gag on the “crisis of masculinity” hit the button; Bragg said to not expect to be as handy with a hammer as our dads - something many have-a-go DIYers need to embrace.
What’s great about music festivals is the juxtaposition of the artists. Following Bragg is the Grammy award-nominated singer Kelis, famous for her Milkshake song. Quite a departure from Bragg with his mid-life musings on the world.

Recently, Mark Harmon surprised fans when he announced his departure from the long-running CBS drama NCIS. Harmon had been with the show since its inception in 2003 and had also served as an executive producer since 2011. His decision to leave shocked everyone, as he was considered the heart and soul of the series.
Many fans wondered if the cast of NCIS truly got along in real life, especially Harmon. However, it seems that Harmon had a good relationship with his co-stars. Sean Murray, who plays Timothy McGee, revealed that he first met Harmon on the show Harts of the West and was in awe of him.
However, Harmon didn't have a good relationship with former co-star Pauley Perrette, who left the show in 2018. Reports emerged of an incident on set involving Harmon's dog biting a crew member, which led to a frosty relationship between the two actors.
Despite Harmon's departure, showrunner Steven D. Binder remains optimistic about the future of NCIS, hinting that Harmon may return at some point. Whether the show will be renewed for a 20th season is still uncertain.

7 European Getaways to Book Today
Things You May Like
Whether you’re looking to beat the heat at museums or are looking to attend a one-of-a-kind festival, Europe has so much to offer.
Europe may not be the first place you think about taking a vacation during the summer months, but it’s the best time to save money and avoid crowds, especially if you’re staying out of the big cities like Paris and Rome. Keep in mind many European cities go into a slow-down mode during August, but that shouldn’t have too much of an effect on your itinerary. Speaking of itinerary, here are several things we’d make sure is on ours this summer:
1. Bestival: Isle of Wight, United Kingdom
There’s still no better place in the world for summer music festivals than Europe and while the best-of-the-best usually happen early in summer, if you find yourself near the Isle of Wight the first week of September, check out Bestival, which mixes both unknown, underground artists with giant names.
2. San Fermin Festival: Pamplona, Spain
Better known as the Running of the Bulls, it’s the world famous opportunity for the brave, and those who have had a little too much to drink, to run through narrow streets while a group of bulls try to make it to the bull ring. While there have only been three deaths since 1981, usually 50 to 100 people are injured yearly. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.
3. Prague: Czech Republic
Near the top of the list of many people’s prettiest cities in Europe, Prague still falls outside of the radar of many travelers. Summer brings a wealth of cultural festivals, including the Bohemia Jazz Fest, one of the must-attend events for any jazz lover at least once in their lives. You’ll find food, lodging and entertainment at every price point in this historic city.
4. Krakow: Poland
If you’re young and looking for a hip place to go that won’t be clogged with typical tourists and irritating lines, check out Krakow, which is just starting to appear on a lot of travel websites’ top European cities for singles lists. An influx of artists over the last decade is a fantastic juxtaposition with the historic architecture. Nightlife and dining options also skew toward a younger demographic.
5. La Tomatina: Bunol, Spain
If you need proof that standing with thousands of other people and hurling squashed tomatoes at each other for an hour isn’t fun, you must check out La Tomatina festival, the world’s largest tomato exclusive food fight in the small Spanish town of Bunol on August 30. There’s a history as to how this event got started, but it’s largely trivial. The most important thing to know? You’re going to get messy, as Bunol’s residents love to splatter tomatoes on absolutely every surface and person during this fun annual festival.
6. Cannes: France
This famous film festival filled with celebrities takes place each year in the spring, but it’s not like you’d be able to afford your way into this French playground that week, anyway. It’s still expensive, but visiting Cannes in July or August will allow you to see how the well-to-do live without breaking your budget. While the famed topless beaches are becoming a thing of the past, skip the sunburn and check out both the history and art museums which are some of the best you’ll find outside of Paris.
7. Oktoberfest: Munich, Germany
16 days of folk music and German beer in mid-September. Need we say more? An annual celebration of the end of summer and the start of fall, Oktoberfest is a festival that both Germans and visitors from all around the world adore. You’ll get a chance to enjoy local food, such as a special sausages and regional favorite sauerkraut, as well as a wide array of different beers. Once you’ve gotten your fill, you can explore the different events of Oktoberfest and check out the surrounding sights of Munich.

Home Made Apple Jelly
|Tart apples||3 Pound (Use Firm Ones)|
|Water||5 Cup (80 tbs)|
|Sugar||2 1⁄2 Cup (40 tbs)|
|Lemon juice||2 Tablespoon|
|Rose geranium leaves||10 , washed|
Apples that ripen the latter part of August or early September are best for jelly.
Choose any tart, juicy cooking apple which is barely ripe.
Overripe fruit lacks sufficient pectin for good jelling.
Wash apples; remove and discard stem and blossom ends; cut in quarters.
Then slice the quarters, skins, cores and all, into a large saucepan or preserving kettle.
Add cold water barely to cover; the amount will depend on the size and shape of the pan.
Cover pan, bring to a boil, and simmer without stirring until apples are soft, about 10 to 15 minutes.
Crush apples with a potato masher and cook 5 minutes longer.
Turn into a jelly bag, or into a bag made by gathering up several thicknesses of cheesecloth; suspend over a bowl and let drip.
Do not squeeze bag.
There will be 3 to 3 1/2 cups of clear juice, depending on juiciness of the apples, and on the amount of water used.
Let jelly bag drip at least 10 to 15 minutes.
Measure juice into a saucepan, bring to a boil, and cook rapidly for 5 minutes.
Taste the juice, and if flavor is not very tart, add lemon juice.
Meas- ure 3/4 cup sugar for every cup of juice measured; add to boiling concentrated juice, and continue boiling rapidly until 2 drops run together to form a sheet when dropped from edge of metal spoon Skim jelly and pour immediately into hot, sterilized jelly glasses, in each of which, if desired, a rose geranium leaf has been placed.
Cover hot jelly with a thin layer of melted paraffin and set aside to cool undisturbed; add another layer of paraffin when cooled to complete the seal.

Psalm 119:105Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. The authorship of this chapter in Psalms is unknown. Nevertheless, the author of our verse seems to have understood that the journey itself is as important as the destination.. Before we explore this verse in depth it is useful to differentiate the meaning of "lamp" from "light" in the Hebrew language. A lamp, by implication, indicates just enough light for the immediate area, and is defined as follows; primitive root, to glisten, candle, lamp. In contrast, the Hebrew definition of light is; luminary, bright, clear, daylight, morning, sun.( Interesting note: glisten, defined means 'sparkle'. So Gods word in the form of a lamp on our path, sparkles). The author recognizes that Gods word, as a lamp, will shed sufficient light unto our feet with each step in our walk with the Lord, equipping us with what is necessary to walk without stumbling (in sin). We will see in advance the hazard, temptation, by the lamp, thus avoid a fall. As we look toward the Kingdom we must see where we are at any given moment. Jesus said, "...Each day has enough trouble of its own."(Mat 6:34). Again, Gods word is a lamp unto our feet, right here in this place, right now, today as we need it. And we will need it. For we are surrounded by darkness. We need to be mindful that we are travelers, foreigners in this world, here for a time as we pass though it. We seek an eternal destination. We know this path is the Way by which we will reach our destination, and the Truth that leads us to eternal Life. We have chosen this path, but it is not a path that we would naturally take. There is a way that seems right to a man but who's end is death (Pro 16:25).There are all kinds of paths that veer off, often subtly, to the right and to the left. Those paths lead to destruction. Along the way, even as Gods Word sparkles while lighting each step, as a lamp unto our path, we are going to stumble and injure ourselves because of our sinful nature. But do not give up, rather continue to ...make straight paths for your feet, that that which is injured be not turned from the path, but rather be healed (Heb 12:13). For there is healing and forgiveness that is shinning out of the darkness. It is a bright light, a clear light. The Light Of The World (Jhn 8:12) The Bright Morning Star (Rev 22:16) Our Lord and Savior, Jesus ...The Word (Jhn 1:1)) He is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
To God be the glory

There aren’t many guarantees in the Forex market. But one guarantee I can make is that there’s no successful Forex trader who is trading today for money he needs tomorrow. Having some idea of where buy and sell orders are located in the market is critical to becoming the best Forex trader you can be. It can strengthen any trading usd to forints strategy by providing areas to watch for potential entries as well as profit targets. Whether a trader is using raw price action or simply using it to identify key levels in the market, price action plays a major role in any strategy.

How to Become Successful in Trading?
You have certainly changed the way I trade with the most important lesson being “I am allowed to Lose”. Had I set my stop loss as you have thought me, I would have made a lot of money in current turbulent times, but have turned a leaf. I can’t thank you enough for the lessons you have thought me. I will be in trading for a long time and will be keeping a very close eye on your future advice. Again, 90% of traders LOSE MONEY, so statistically, about 10% of traders are successful. So if only 10% of traders make money, is that 10% making an absolute killing?
Im very much grateful for the likes of you who is so generous with your knowledge in FX trading. I started following you this year and so far i have learnt alot than https://forexbroker-listing.com/ i paid for from many mentors. I guess i was running after people who didnt really care much about making me a trader but just taking my money through their classes.
Career in Trading: How to Become a Full-Time Trader in 2021
But I didn’t limit myself to a number of loss-making trades during a day and didn’t stop trading even in the event of significant monthly losses. My relations with stops are still very difficult – a bit later in more detail about it. I even bought a hard copy book named ‘Futures Spreads’, since I hadn’t found anything of interest in soft copy. The book speaks about positional trades, for which many contracts should be opened quite often. For example, you need to buy/sell 11 contracts in order to work with the spread of ordinary and preferred Sberbank stock. It is believed that spread trades have low risk, however, losses could be significant due to a large number of contracts.
You only want to trade when you get a trade setup that follows your plan. And it's not fun if you have to spend days, months, or years digging yourself out of a hole you got yourself into in the early days of trading. So to become the best trader you can be, make trading part of a balanced life. When something goes wrong, the best traders take responsibility. That will help you find the most significant price moves to trade successfully.
Here we look at then of the most well-known traders and investors in American history. Stock traders often don't become household names, but a select few have become renowned for their market prowess. There are several famous former traders who moved on to different careers, such as John Key and Jimmy Wales . However, this list is made up of traders famous for being traders. The lives of the world's most famous traders are colored by both triumph and tragedy, with some exploits achieving mythological status within the industry. The trajectory of how a Chartered Accountant with a strong interest & experience in trading, and will to enhance his skills, learned Python for automating his trading....
I like charts that are not connected with time, since they show the market situation from a different angle and the existing trading platforms do not have them. Let’s assume that the price does not grow and the positive delta grows on the day’s local high. Perhaps, the market buy orders are engulfed by limit sell orders. The key word is ‘engulfed’, that is, the limit sell orders do not let market buy orders move further. Quite often this engulfing forecasts a downward reversal.
Failure No. 5. Holding loss-making positions.
It’s little wonder why so many traders struggle to understand what an edge is and how they can develop one of their own. I see a lot of talk on the internet about the need for a trader to develop an edge and define it. And, if I’m honest, most of what I’ve read out there is pretty alarming. Trading Forex without using some form of price action is like trying to drive a car with one eye closed. It can be done, but I wouldn’t recommend it. That’s because it serves as a representation of the psychology within a market.
As of now, we have no plans to release it back to the public for 2016. We haven’t thought about 2017 yet as we have other projects we are working on, so most likely, it’s offline to the public for the year. Will the mindset course be back in the summer? I realized yours is super cheap comparing to all the others and they have less information.
Keep on sharing your great experiences and resources, so many people is following your story. I read many forex book but i think that very important is emotional,risk,good money management&never give up,we will study from experience&practise in market. Hey Rayner, Thanks for sharing this article. Before reading your articles, I lost 50% of my capital and still I could not sell trades . Am a dummy almost feeling bored because of unexpected difficulty in trading.

The Bolton babe, who stormed to victory on Friday, had a long list of famous men she bedded when she was a hooker.
But while she had a threesome with Manchester United’s Wayne Rooney, 28, her other high-profile lovers stayed in the shadows.
Her famous conquests can now breathe a sigh of relief as the 27-year-old has vowed to take her secrets to the grave.
Helen told the Daily Star: “It bores the s*** out of me, I’m not interested in the whole ‘Let’s write a book’.
“I was thrown to the wolves the first time, it wasn’t my doing, so I’m certainly not going to dish the dirt on anyone else”Helen Wood
“There are things I’ll keep private. Anything I have done with certain people in the past will stay in my head. I hate the kiss and tell label, it p****s me off.
“I was thrown to the wolves the first time, it wasn’t my doing, so I’m certainly not going to dish the dirt on anyone else.
“I’m moving away from that.
“Hopefully, good things will come from winning Big Brother because good things don’t come from sleeping with people and selling the story.
Helen admitted that her romps with Rooney made her a prime candidate for Celebrity Big Brother in 2011, but she turned down the offer.
Yet she said she was thrilled when she entered the ordinary version of the BB house back in June.
After she was crowned the champion, though, many fans slammed the shock result as a fix.
Helen roared: “I’ve heard the rumours and they are ridiculous.
“Big Brother was not fixed for me, no way.
“I won the show fair and square.”

The development of agriculture has been a significant turning point in human history. Over the years, there have been technological advancements that have led to increased yields and reduced prices for consumers.
The current priorities include saving money, minimizing environmental impact, and producing a fitting product. The agricultural sector is implementing farm automation with the main goal of moving forward. This latest technology helps farmers to increase their agricultural yields and enhances their efficiency in managing their operations.
What Is Farm Automation?
As the global population is projected to reach approximately 10 billion people by 2050, the agriculture industry must increase food production by 70% to maintain current growth levels.
The use of drones, robotics, and software in farm automation is transforming the agricultural industry.
Smart farming, also called farm automation, is a cutting-edge technology that enhances the efficiency of crop and livestock production on farms. More and more agriculture businesses are turning to robotics to create self-driving tractors, harvesters, seeders, and waterers for growing crops.
Although this technology may seem novel, it is increasingly prevalent in the agricultural sector. even traditional farming companies are widely accepting and including farm automation into their processes. However, it is important to purchase reliable equipment from credible companies such as https://texha.com/.
The utilization of farm automation is providing many benefits to the industry. These advancements make it possible for customers to buy sustainably-produced goods at more affordable prices. Currently, a significant portion of food expenses are linked to labor costs. Due to the shortage of labor, these expenses are transferred to the consumer. However, with the use of robotics, labor-intensive tasks can be automated, resulting in cost reduction for both the farmer and the consumer. It is important to consider the positive impact of automation on the environment. This innovative technology not only saves time and money for farmers but also minimizes ecological damage.
Robotic Planting and Weeding
The robots created for planting and seeding aim to focus on particular regions of the farm. They save on labor costs by performing tedious chores.
Weeding robots can significantly reduce the number of pesticides used in crop fields by up to 90% due to their precise analysis of the crops. This advanced technology enables the robots to apply herbicides accurately on the plants only when necessary.
Farmers now have a better method for preventing and managing weeds in their fields. There are planting robots that work independently and help farmers in seeding their row crops for the upcoming growing season. These machines are a more cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative to using manual labor for sowing the fields.
Remote Controlled Tractors
Autonomous tractors can either work independently by being pre-programmed or be controlled by the farmer. These types of tractors provide numerous benefits, such as lowering labor costs, increasing crop yield, and enhancing operational efficiency on a daily basis. There are times when farmers don’t need to buy new equipment. They can use automation kits to retrofit their current tractors and bring advanced technology to their farms in a fast and efficient way.
During unfavorable weather, these tractors aid in tending to the fields. This method eliminates the need for laborers to work in the fields, which can pose health risks and allows the tractors to work around the clock to finish the task.
Farmers are now able to harvest crops effortlessly with the help of autonomous tractors and push-button harvesters. This technology has the added benefit of reducing labor costs since these machines can pick up more produce in less time than a team of workers.
This means that less money is spent on physical workers, and the crops can be harvested on time without any concerns about losing valuable produce. Consequently, consumers will not experience the impact of high food prices that come with increasing labor costs.
Smart Farming Apps
It’s amazing how there’s an app for almost everything nowadays, even farming! With modern apps, farmers can easily keep track of their fields and livestock. By receiving real-time data from the field, they can monitor the health of their crops and animals efficiently.
If any issues arise, farmers can address them accordingly, such as addressing the need for more water or increasing pest control efforts. This approach enables farmers to concentrate on other aspects of their business.
Additionally, a variety of apps can assist the farming team in predicting yields for the upcoming season and making necessary adjustments. By providing active monitoring, farmers gain better control over their fields and are able to allocate resources promptly if there are any issues with their crops or livestock.
The agriculture industry is embracing technological advancements, and drones are a prime example. These devices are capable of monitoring field conditions and providing real-time feedback to farmers. Additionally, they are commonly used to uniformly distribute pesticides, fertilizers, and other chemicals from above.
Field scanning has never been simpler. Farmers can benefit from innovative products that use infrared and imagery analysis to diagnose problem areas. Numerous autonomous robotic flyers are available that can send real-time data back to the farmer.
A considerable amount of agricultural loss happens during storage and transportation after harvesting. Smart storage solutions combine automation and monitoring technologies to create ideal storage conditions for different crops. These solutions monitor and regulate temperature, humidity, and gas levels to prevent spoilage and increase the shelf life of crops.
In supply chain management, automation can improve transportation and distribution processes, leading to fewer delays and reduced losses. Utilizing smart storage and supply chain management technologies can also help reduce post-harvest losses, ultimately leading to higher agricultural returns and greater food security for a growing global population.
The agricultural industry recognizes the need to change with the times. Outdated farming practices that depleted the earth’s resources are a thing of the past.
Currently, the main objective is to develop sustainable farming techniques that can be utilized for years to come. The planet is at risk of climate change, and there is a growing need for high-quality food. In light of these concerns, the agricultural industry is taking strides towards automation to ensure a more sustainable future.

I’d be lying if I were to tell you that what happened last week was what I anticipated my first week in office looking like.
We took office at noon on Tuesday, and I received a message around 1 p.m. informing me of the tragedy that had happened on the 40 Acres. Between responding to media requests and attending last-minute meetings in preparation for the community gathering, the next few days were difficult to navigate.
As things begin to settle down around campus, the question that has consumed our thoughts since news of the tragedy first broke travels closer and closer to the forefronts of our minds: “What are we going to do about campus safety?”
Last week, Student Government committed a great deal of time and energy to expanding safety measures on campus. We trained over 100 students from various organizations to prepare them for service as SURE Walk volunteers, and we expanded locations to cover the FAC and the Winship building. We also expanded SURE Walk’s hours of operation immediately following the incident.
This morning, Taral Patel, outgoing Student Government Chief of Staff, and Krishan Sachdev, director of SURE Walk, met with UTPD to discuss a potential collaboration between Student Government and the campus police department. Their discussion included revamping SURE Walk practices and protocols, offering SURE Walk services on weekends, and supplementing SURE Walk services with an application for smart phones. Lastly, leaders from both the Senate of College Councils and Student Government have continued conversations with administrations regarding lighting on campus, especially along the length of Waller Creek and behind the Alumni Center.
In researching safety measures at other institutions across the country, I’ve stumbled upon a good number of campuses that have partnered with ride-hailing companies to ensure safe travels home during late evenings and early mornings. For example, the University of Southern California has partnered with Uber to make it such that all USC students and staff members are granted free rides between the hours of 7 p.m. and 2 a.m.
As is the case with all partnerships between corporations and universities, there are quite a few details that must be ironed out before moving forward. That being said, the prospect of establishing working relationships with ride-hailing companies is still uncertain; however, we are committed to exploring all possible options.
Beyond the creation of new resources, Student Government plans to commit tremendous amounts of time and energy to raising awareness. As soon as our executive board is finalized — which will happen next Tuesday, April 19 — the first order of business for the communications director and his or her staff will be a wide-scale social media campaign to encourage the utilization of resources such as SURE Walk, police help boxes and counseling services in the CMHC.
We want your feedback — honestly. The Senate of College Councils, Graduate Student Assembly and Student Government are teaming up to hold a Campus Conversation on campus safety next Wednesday, April 20, at 6 p.m. in FAC 21. This is your opportunity to express concerns, throw out ideas and participate in what I hope will be a productive dialogue about how to enhance safety measures across the 40 Acres. Students deserve to be safe, and we are wholeheartedly committed to ensuring that this is the case.
I find an immense amount of comfort in knowing that we, as a student body, in light of last week’s tragedy, were able to come together to take care of ourselves and to take care of each other. Please remember to keep doing that. Our community will continue to stand together.
Helgren is a neuroscience, psychology and Liberal Arts Honors senior from Austin. He is the student body president.
Editor's Note: This article has been updated since its initial publication to reflect the Graduate Students Assembly's role in hosting the upcoming April 20 Campus Conversation on safety.

The recent discovery of needles in strawberries, then apples, and now bananas have “terrorized” Australians. Parents are concerned about putting fruits in their kids lunch boxes because we are worried if we will win this unlucky lottery of our child finding a needle in their fruit; or worst eating a needle.
We see pictures of needles in strawberries in fruits everyday in newspapers and news broadcasts, and it is making the situation worst that it really is.
If you really do the calculations, finding a needle in a fruit (based on today’s findings and the amount of fruit Australian’s Farmers produce) is really as slim as winning the lottery.
As a father, I too feel uncertain about the fruits I buy for my family, but I believe that we should not let our Farmers suffer because of some goons who have effectively run a terror campaign on our produce industry.
So I Say: Let’s show pictures of fruits we have bought at the supermarket or grocers that are healthy and delicious instead of those that have needles.
Support our Farmers, and our economy. Let me start with this #saveozziefruits on my blog and social media.
If you are worried about your fruit, cut them before you serve them. It’s as simple as that.


Together, the two groups will help accelerate the energy transition by making wide-scale, decarbonised maritime transportation a reality.
Maritime transport currently emits around 940 million tonnes of CO2 annually and is responsible for roughly 2.5% of global greenhouse gas emissions. This could increase by between 50% and 250% respectively by 2050, according to the International Maritime Organisations (IMO).
“The Hydrogen Council is proud to partner with Energy Observer. We support and are inspired by their core mission of using hydrogen to decarbonise marine transport,” said Pierre-Etienne Franc, Co-Secretary of the Hydrogen Council and Vice-President of Air Liquide’s Hydrogen Energy World Business Unit.
“This voyage proves to the world that long-distance travel using hydrogen is a real possibility. Our new partnership will create greater visibility of how hydrogen is being developed and deployed today, with the view of being widely scaled up tomorrow,” said Franc.
“Energy Observer is pleased to cooperate with the Hydrogen Council, as we share the same ambition for hydrogen to foster the energy transition. Hydrogen is a real key to propel our vessel of the future that works through a mix of renewable energies and a system that produces carbon-free hydrogen from seawater,” said Victorien Erussard, Founder and Captain of Energy Observer.
“This technological and scientific challenge aims to test cutting-edge technologies in extreme conditions, anticipating the energy networks of the future that could be used on land,” Erussard continued.
A recent Hydrogen Council report, ‘Hydrogen, Scaling Up’, projects there could be thousands of passenger ships transporting people without carbon and local emissions by 2030. By mid-century, the council further suggests that hydrogen could power a quarter of passenger ships worldwide, contributing to roughly 20% of CO2 abatement as required by the Paris Agreement.
Energy Observer is currently embarked upon a six-year voyage consisting of 101 stopovers around the world. This joint announcement comes as the Energy Observe is docked in Amsterdam, on its 35th stopover.

What Questions You Have About Canines Will Be Answered HereMany people think that raising a dog is a hard task to do. It's not that hard, especially if you have any idea of what to do. All you need is knowledge of dogs to guide you. Luckily the following article contains a set of tips that can assit you in the dog raising process.
visit this web-site needs vaccinations, much in the same way that your baby does. Some common vaccinations that dogs require include rabies, hepatitis and distemper. Each pet is different, and each will have a different immunization schedule. Your veterinarian is a great resource when it comes to which vaccinations are right for the age and breed of your pet.
If your dog comes with you on vacations, you need to have an up-to-date picture of it on hand and in your phone. This will be helpful should he get lost.
Do you have a "wrinkly" dog, like a bulldog? If so, you have to be conscientious about the grooming process in order to help keep your pet clean. After you brush, take a baby wipe and use it to get in between the folds on their body. Make sure, though, to get them fully dry after doing so.
Think about your life and then find a dog breed that will fit in well with your habits. Do not buy a dog that is lazy if you are very active. Also, if you like to stay at home, find small dogs that prefer sitting on laps and being stroked. Getting a dog that matches your lifestyle will make you both more happy.
If training has become routine and boring with your dog, consider introducing agility exercises into the mix. These will still teach your dog to obey and be challenging, but they tend to be a lot more fun than the regular commands. Get the whole family involved by making an obstacle course and working the dog through it frequently.
Know your dog's behavior and body rhythms well, to keep him at his healthiest. Medical issues often present themselves in slight nuances early on and if you know your dog, you'll see them. Pay attention to input and output, sleep duration, energy levels and so forth to keep on top of important issues that affect his health.
You won't just stop your dog from shedding on your carpet if you brush him on a daily basis. Brushing daily will give them a shiny, beautiful coat. Brushing distributes the natural oils of the skin throughout the hair coat for added sheen and softness.
If you do not have any ear cleaner solution on hand, you can use a baby wipe instead. Simply wrap it around the tip of your finger and wipe the inside of the ear's surface. Only go as far as your finger can easily fit. Do not use https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYOTAzvK8GJQasG1dBvKUIw -tips as they can injure the ear.

Too many pets are injured or lost following storms, floods and other situations that cause chaos in a community.
When giving your dog medication or special treatment, follow vet instructions closely. Even if your dog resists, it is important for their health that you listen to the veterinarian. You will leave your dog open to serious health problems down the line if you do not follow the advice from your vet for the health of your dog.
Invest in a separate tub if your dog gets frequent baths. Buy a large metal basin where you will have plenty of room to scrub, but won't risk clogging the pipes in your bathroom. Giving him a bath outside and away from the slipperiness of a porcelain tub is also safer for you
Keep your dog's teeth clean and healthy with regular brushing. Most canines don't mind you brushing their teeth, provided you introduce them to the process slowly and gently. Use a specially designed dog brush, along with other products made just for him. Remember to provide him with toys and biscuits that will also clean and protect his teeth.
Clean up after your dog when they go to the bathroom in public. Many dog owners let their dog do their business wherever they please whether its on a sidewalk, neighbor's lawn, etc. They can do their business in public, but you must take a bag with you to clean it up when they're done so that it doesn't cause an unsightly and smelly mess for someone else.
Make time for your dog. You are probably aware that your dog always has time for you, so it's time to return the favor. You might take the dog out for some exercise, or you might just set some time aside to rub his belly. Remember to spend a bit of special time with your dog, and he'll appreciate it.

First, make sure the boarder has a number to reach you in case of an emergency. Also, tell them of any behavioral issues you dog has. If the dog needs special foods or medication, let the boarder know this as well.
If your dog is covering everything in the house with his shedding fur, grab a paper towel. Lightly wet it with water and rub it down his back in the direction of fur growth. The loose hair should come off easily on the paper towel and your dog will love the attention too!
Dogs love to chew. Make sure your dog has plenty of things that he can chew on so he doesn't chew on things he shouldn't be chewing on. Dogs love to chew on rawhide and various other things that are manufactured and sold just for dogs to chew on.
It is true that having a dog has a good amount of benefits and is a good way to start a lifelong friendship. This is why it is so important that you learn how to properly care for your dog. This article has taught you a basic knowledge, now keep learning to find out more.

Nguyen Cong Hoan, CEO of FlamingoRedtours, said the number of domestic travelers in the summer has increased by 3-4 times over the last two years. In particular, this summer recorded an explosion in MICE tourists.
In May alone, the travel firm provided services to 30,000 MICE (meeting, incentive, convention, exhibition) travelers. The figure is expected to continue to increase in June and July. FlamingoRedtours is going to serve large groups of MICE tourists in July, including a group of 2,500 people. The favorite destinations are Sam Son (Thanh Hoa), Ha Long (Quang Ninh), Phu Quoc and Da Nang.
Meanwhile, Saigontourist expects to serve 280,000 tourists this summer. Its Deputy CEO Tran Quoc Bao said as summer is the high travel season of the year, Saigontourist has gathered all financial and workforce resources to serve travelers.
The firm has created more than 160 package tourism products. Most domestic tours last 3-8 days. Clients mostly book tours to the sea, northwestern highlands and green tours.
The summer travel season picked up in early June. If travelers want to go to Phu Quoc and Con Dao Islands, they have to book tours early for reservations.
Tran Bao Thu from Fiditour-Vietluxtour said that the number of travelers is still lower than before the pandemic, but business has recovered well compared with the same period last year.
As of the end of the second quarter of 2022, the firm had implemented 60-70 percent of its summer business plan.
Though the number of tourists is on the rise, travel firms are now worried as airfares have increased since early June.
A representative of a travel firm in Hoang Mai district in Hanoi said a group of 40 travelers booked a tour to Hue City the last week of June. As they booked late and the time coincides with the Hue Festival 2022, the airfares are high, up to VND3.5-4 million per passenger, while business class tickets are double the price on ordinary days.
The situation is even more tense for flights to popular destinations such as Nha Trang, Phu Quoc, Da Nang, Da Lat and Quy Nhon.
The rainy season has begun, but return tickets from Hanoi/HCM City to Phu Quoc with departure from now to mid-July are VND5-8 million, or four times higher than the low season. Many domestic flights are fully occupied until mid-July.
Pham Vu Bao, director of ViBooking, said that airfares would only decrease from the second half of July, when demand is predicted to drop.
According to the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam (CAAV), the number of passengers booking domestic flights in the first half of the year increased sharply compared with the same period last year. As many as 40.7 million passengers went through airports, up by 56.8 percent.
This included 1.8 million foreign travelers, up by 904.6 percent, and 38.9 million domestic travelers, up by 52.6 percent. It is expected that airports will serve 87.8 million passengers this year, an increase of 190 percent over the last year.
Services expensive and lacking
Since tourism is recovering rapidly, related services, including transport, hotel rooms and tour guides, are seriously lacking.
Le Trung Tin, CEO of Tin Viet Travel, said it is very difficult to rent buses. And the transport fee is expensive because of the petrol price hike.
At first, he was informed by the transportation service provider that the fee for a trip from HCM to Vung Tau was VND5-7 million, but later the fee surged to VND9-10 million. For a trip to Nha Trang, the fee increased from VND12 to VND17 million. The fee increases have been quoted for all kinds of buses, from 16-seat to 45-seat.
Though the petrol price is up by VND1,000 per liter, bus service providers have increased the fee by VND2-3 million. Meanwhile, travel firms cannot collect more money from travelers and they have to use their profits to offset the fee increases.
Travel firms have also complained about overloading at restaurants and the lack of tour guides. Tin of Tin Viet Travel said that travel firms are ‘hunting’ for tour guides who have 3-5 years of experience and certificates.

Let me clear up this book's title right away. It's a refrain -- almost a signature -- supplied by a German guide with decades of Amazonian experience but a shaky command of English. "Wo" being the German word for "where," he keeps making the same mistake -- which only emphasizes the amount of time he and his clients spend lost on the great river's tributaries. Those clients are Tano and Zalis (the author), two thirtyish men who have never quite graduated from the open-air university that was America in the late '60s and early '70s.
Veterans of several trips together (both physical and pharmacological), the Americans set out to test a rumor that there are pyramids in the jungle northwest of Manaus, Brazil. Two previous expeditions had gone off with the same purpose. The leader of one was the secretary to Eric Von Danniken, author of "Chariots of the Gods," a book that ascribes nearly everything splashy built by primitive man to interstellar colonists. Upon his return the secretary reported that "he had found the pyramids and contacted the underground people from the stars."
A second, Brazilian expedition brought back "a blurred picture of a valley with triangular nubs." Tano and Zalis hope to do better. At the outset their prospects look rosy. They have enough time and money to support a 40-day excursion, which seems ample. Their guide, Kurt Glu ck, apparently knows the region well -- he filled the same role on an abortive earlier try.
But Gluck's peculiar English is not his only idiosyncrasy. As they motor upriver into the Amazonian wilderness, he still checks his watch every 15 minutes. He cooks paltry meals that leave the Americans hungry and peevish. He is never sure where -- or who, in his parlance -- they are, and though the tributary Rio Negro is braided with confusing channels, he is being paid, after all, to keep them on course. By the middle of the journey, his reliability has become depressingly suspect.
For a while Glu ck's disorientation is tolerable. The Amazon Basin is ecologically fascinating, and Tano and Zalis can reminisce. There is flashback after flashback -- to the May Day anti-Vietnam demonstration in Washington, to a previous South American trip, to a collective house whose routine they shattered with a binge of dish hurling. They have drunk a lot together, traveled a lot together and maintained a kind of marginal but reasonably comfortable existence. Their occupations peg them as members of what might be called the underestablished class: Tano describes himself as a "laborer," and Zalis is a stringer for a small newspaper.
All of which is told in a style that vacillates between colloquial eloquence and puerile awkwardness. At his best Zalis evokes the subtropical miasma in all its murky plenitude. "It might seem impossible to miss the mouth of a major river, but being on the Rio Negro was like walking along a string under a microscope, with thousands of hairs scattering in either direction. Rains and drought changed the shape of junctions, lifting islands up and down out of the water and fragmenting forks into deltas and backwaters."
Other times his writing hits ungrammatical notes that might have sounded true in the '60s but ring tinny now. " . . . The driver seemed like he was taking us somewhere by flashlight. He drove fast, but the ride to town seemed like it went on forever." Those "seemed likes" bespeak an author unsure of himself. Then, too, Zalis' memory lane-changing grows wearisome. He throws in digressions on a hunting trip and his baseball career that have no discernible tie-in with the pyramid hunt but do portray him as a sensitive guy. But sensitive guys don't flaunt.
Back on the Rio Negro, the boat runs out of gasoline a mere 17 kilometers shy of the place where the pyramids are supposed to be. This is what in the '60s we called a bummer -- and the kind of misfortune any journalist can sympathize with. To his credit, Zalis pulls the book out of the ensuing stall and ends it triumphantly. "Who Is the River" is an uneven book that a devoted editor might have helped transform into a consistent success.

The NAS 4.0 is Addonics' 4th generation NAS adapter with several major enhancements. Comes with two eSATAp ports that allows attaching either two eSATA or two USB 2.0 storage devices onto the LAN, as many as 16 storages devices (or drive volume) can be attached to the new NAS 4.0 using USB hubs. With these many drives, you can easily share multi-Terabyte storage over LAN or build your own private cloud storage that can be accessed via the built-in FTP server.
Performance of the NAS 4.0 is quadrupled from the previous NAS adapter to 75 MB/sec over 1G network. Both the maximum number of SMB and FTP accounts as well as the concurrent users supported by the NAS 4.0 are vastly expanded to support over thousands and hundreds respectively.
The NAS 4.0 also support storage devices with multiple partitions, with each partition appearing as a share folder on the network. The supported file system now includes XFS, EXT2, EXT3, EXT4. NTFS and FAT32. A very large storage in excess of hundreds or thousands of Terabytes storage capacity can be easily built by attaching multiple units of Addonics RAID Towers or RAID Racks. A storage farm with capacity exceeding many commercial data center can be easily put together at just a fraction of the cost of an enterprise storage system. Storage capacity can be added to the NAS 4.0 in many many years to come without ever reaching the capacity limitation.
Constructed in a rugged metallic housing in the size of a cigarette pack, the NAS 4.0 adapter is built to last and can be deployed in home, general office, factory or mobile environment.
* These are the theoretical limits in the kernel. As # of concurrent connections increase, performance starts to decline depending on the drive access activity from the concurrent connections.

Seriously, N*E*R*D* is one of the best live performances I have ever seen. They bring so much energy to the stage every night and it's truly a blast seeing them. Over the summer I saw them at Ye's Glow In The Dark Tour where they kind of stole the stage from Ye. In the process they played the song "Spaz," which to this day, is the best song I've ever seen performed live. Here is a little peek behind the scenes of their new video "Sooner or Later."

The COVID-19 pandemic demonstrates how vulnerable companies are to systemic risk events — and how limited our normal business risk management approaches are in these situations. In January 2019, the World Economic Forum (WEF) and the Harvard Global Health Institute published a white paper about how businesses should prepare for a pandemic. It recommended steps
The World Economic Forum’s (WEF) annual Global Risk Reports get a lot of attention from the business community. In recent years, the prominence of climate change related risks has suggested to many observers that the business community is getting more serious about tackling climate change.The COVID-19 crisis, however, gives us an interesting look into how

I was stunned to see my short comment get more than 8,000 views in just a few days. If nothing else, it confirms today’s heightened interest in and skepticism of carbon offsets. It reminds me
Global calls for better corporate “climate risk disclosure” have exploded over the last 12-24 months. The underlying hypothesis of much of the risk disclosure conversation is that if companies disclose climate risks to shareholders, financial markets will price those risks into share prices, stock markets will become more efficient, and financial stability will be safeguarded.

In a joint international effort led by the Australian Federal Police (AFP) law enforcement agencies from all over the world have dismantled the global organized cybercrime network behind Imminent Monitor RAT (IM-RAT), a hacking tool that allows threat actors a remote access to targeted computers.
Once installed, the RAT allows cybercriminals to fully control the victim’s computer: to disable anti-virus and anti-malware software, run different commands such as recording keystrokes, steal data and passwords and spy on victims via their webcams. IM-RAT is considered a serious threat due to its functionality, ease of use and a low cost of as little as $25 with lifetime access.
The operation was aimed at both buyers and sellers of the IM-RAT, which was sold to more than 14,500 buyers and used against tens of thousands of victims across 124 countries. The infrastructure and front-end sale website of the Imminent Monitor has also been sized as part of this operation, making the tool unavailable to those who bought it.
According to a Europol’s statement, the operation was conducted in two stages – one occurred in June 2019, when authorities in Australia and Belgium issued search warrants against the developer and one employee of IM-RAT. The second stage took place in November resulting in the takedown of the Imminent Monitor infrastructure and the arrest of 13 of the most prolific users of IM-RAT in Australia, Colombia, Czechia, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom. The police also seized over 430 devices it believes were used in malware operations.

After a disaster like ‘Chanakya’, action hero Gopichand is coming back with ‘Seetimaar’. This film is directed by Sampath Nandi who worked with Gopichand earlier for ‘Gautham Nanda’. Sampath Nandi considers Tamanna as his lucky charm. Milky beauty was the heroine in Sampath Nandi’s ‘Racha’ and ‘Bengal Tiger’. She is once again the female lead in his ‘Seetimaar’.
Tamanna will be seen as Kabaddi coach in this flick and her first look has been released recently. She appears tough and strong in this poster. Her serious look in the orange and white outfit along with a headset and the bag looks quite interesting. Her character is named as ‘Jwala Reddy’ and she appears to have got a meaty role in this action flick.
Srinivas Citturi is bankrolling this project while Mani Sharma is composing the music. Gopichand pinned a lot of hopes on ‘Seetimaar’ and let us wait and see how this film turns out.
