Assassin’s Creed Utopia Coming to Android! Detailed at Tokyo Game Show 2012!
After this summer’s Comic Con and E3, it’s time for gamers to have fun at the famous Tokyo Game Show 2012. Mobile was a big part of the event, not only PlayStation and Xbox games. We found out that hot titles such as Assassin’s Creed or Metal Gear will get a mobile version, as well as Resident Evil. As far as Assassin’s Creed goes, its iteration on iOS and Android will be called Utopia.
It will be based on American colonial era and will allow gamers to build their very own 17th century village. They will have the opportunity to see the village grow during the course of 150 years. It’s all based on micromanaging and turn based strategy. All the action takes place in the Assassin’s Creed 3 universe, the full fledged game for consoles and PC, coming soon as well. You can see here two screenshots taken by the guys of G4 TV, who also tried the game.
They saw little houses, a bigger building and assassin towers in the town. Buildings can be moved or deleted and there’s also an upgrade option, that wasn’t accessible in the demo. After collecting more gold, the tester came across a Battle option. The combat is turn based and you must choose a character before entering battle. The fight pits you against foes with spears and axes and using Attack and Guard the fight was over in a few minutes. The demo was in Japanese, so the tester had a hard time with it.
Expect the title to launch this winter!

Concealed Carry Permits In Indiana Is Governed By A State Constitution
State constitutions generally govern the ability to obtain a Concealed Carry Weapons Permit, however, not all states require them. There are just a few states – like Arizona, Vermont, and Alaska – which include what’s called “constitutional carry” laws in their legal structure, and a permit is not required to carry a concealed firearm. There are other stipulations within constitutional carry, however, that demand that anyone carrying a concealed weapon identify it when in contact with any Peace Officer. Failure to do so can result in felony charges being filed. Make sure you know the laws in Indiana.
Do you know the laws where you live in Indiana, you may be able to take advantage of the streamlined application process that exists within “Shall Issue” states. The standard approval process usually includes a background check, one or more required classes, qualification with your firearm (safety and marksmanship), and paying the required fee. Currently, Utah, Nevada, and Florida are the easiest states to obtain a Shall Issue CCW.
While obtaining a Concealed Carry permit requires an application for most citizens, even when acquiring one, it doesn’t mean that it is free from restrictions. For instance, in Indiana you may only be allowed to carry a revolver rather than a semi-automatic pistol, or you may only be allowed to carry a specific caliber of firearm. Additionally, you may have to undergo testing for proficiency regarding weapon safety and marksmanship, and in some instances, your CCW permissions may be limited to the county or city where the permit was issued. Where proficiency testing does occur, it usually happens on either an annual or semi-annual basis.
There are three types of Concealed Carry in States, Shall Issue, May Issue, and Constitutional Carry
Although some issuers of CCWs are not as strict as others, acquiring a CCW in Indiana may not be an easy process. There are “Shall Issue” states and “May Issue” states, ( and Constitutional Carry which do not require any permit) and if your state happens to be a “May Issue” state, then the local authorities are generally given discretion as to whether they believe it should be issued or not. However, no matter which type of issuance your state’s laws command, you will still have to go through a lengthy application process. In most locales, this means a long application requiring extensive information, some may also require a convincing letter that provides justification for your need of a Concealed Carry permit, and possible an oral interview as well.

The Indiana State Constitution States: “The people shall have a right to bear arms, for the defense of themselves and the State.”
Indiana requires a license for most methods of carrying a handgun. Indiana laws are silent concerning the manner of carry therefore laws cover open carry, concealed carry, vehicle carry and locked case carry. There are exceptions for carrying a handgun unloaded, not readily accessible, and secured in a case in a vehicle, on your own property, from place of purchase and to a firearm range for the purpose of practice. Indiana is a "shall issue" state for the License To Carry a Handgun.
A license to carry will be issued to individuals age 18 or older who meet a number of legal requirements. Currently both limited term and unlimited lifetime licenses are available.
The State of Indiana stands out on the topic of reciprocal carry in two ways. First, a statutory reciprocity scheme recognizes all other states’ licenses to carry a handgun. Second, Indiana was the first state to adopt a lifetime license to carry. Upon initial application or renewal, a person may pay additional fees and obtain a lifetime license to carry a handgun. So long has he or she remains a “proper person,” the license remains valid for life and no renewal is required.
Indiana offers a License To Carry a Handgun, (LTCH) Nothing in Indiana law mentions concealment. Therefore you may carry open, in plain sight, OR concealed. Much of the public and many police officers don't know this fact. So, if you 'open carry' you may draw unwanted attention, but it is perfectly legal. Be courteous and professional with anyone (including police) who does not understand the law. To obtain a license to carry a handgun you must apply to the chief law enforcement officer of your county or city.
The state also has a firearm preemption law that prohibits local governments from passing gun laws more restrictive than state law. However, a few municipalities have laws that were grandfathered in before the preemption law was enacted in 1994. The most notable exceptions are East Chicago and Gary, which have bans on assault weapons. The City of Speedway also has a law on the books banning concealed carry even for permitted gun owners. However, the ordinance is not enforced.

From the Indiana Sheriff’s Association: “While the debate stirs strong feelings across our Nation, Indiana’s Sheriffs have taken an oath to uphold the Constitution of the Unites States and the Constitution of the State of Indiana. Furthermore, we have sworn to do this according to law and to the best of our ability. Millions of law abiding Americans lawfully possess and use firearms daily for recreation and protection. We must not forget those most vulnerable and their ability to protect themselves from the miscreants and those focused on harming us. Furthermore, our discourse should not cast a shadow of doubt on these millions of law abiding Americans. Firearms are inanimate objects that have no will of their own.
However, they can be exploited by malevolent souls as instruments of violence. We must work tirelessly to see that those who show no respect for the sanctity of life are punished to the fullest abilities of the law. We also believe that the energy of this debate would be better focused on the issues that we agree upon. It is critical that we continue to work to keep firearms out of the hands of those who would use them to commit acts of violence against our citizens.”
In a direct response to the federal government attempt to force gun control laws upon the states: Indiana, State Senator Dennis Kruse (R-Auburn) has introduced Senate Bill 127, While not specifically limited to gun control, Kruse’s bill endows county sheriffs with the ultimate authority to enforce the laws:
“Provides that a federal employee who is not designated by state law to act as a state law enforcement officer may not make an arrest, a search, or a seizure in Indiana without the written permission of the sheriff or the designee of the sheriff who has jurisdiction in the county in which the arrest, search, or seizure will occur. Provides certain exceptions. Provides that if an arrest, a search, or a seizure is made without the sheriff’s written permission, the federal employee must be prosecuted under Indiana law and charged with an offense appropriate to the circumstances. Provides that under the Tenth Amendment of the Constitution of the United States and Indiana’s compact with the other states, the general assembly declares that any federal law that purports to provide federal employees with the authority of a sheriff in Indiana is not recognized by and is specifically rejected by the state of Indiana and is invalid in Indiana.”

Patrick Mahomes’ wife reminded everyone that the touchdown that Patrick Mahomes threw against the Chicago Bears on Saturday was just the beginning of many more.
Mahomes made it easy to score a touchdown on their first possession by making a quick pass to Blake Bell, a tight end. He saw Bell at the 5-yard line and made the quick throw for the touchdown drive.
Brittany Mahomes was thrilled to see her husband perform again on the field. Then, she warned the NFL to be prepared for a better Patrick Mahomes in the 2022 regular-season.
That's Mr. Belldozer to you! 🚜
— Kansas City Chiefs (@Chiefs) August 13, 2022
Brittany posted the following message Twitter: “I hope you’re ready for this season,” along with a smiley emoji.
& that’s a Touchdown & I hope y’all are ready for this season🙂
— Brittany Mahomes (@BrittanyLynne) August 13, 2022
Although the Chiefs lost to the Bears 19-14 in the end, Mahomes only played a few minutes. Chiefs fans should be happy with what they’ve seen from their quarterback, especially since the new season is starting soon.
Mahomes was inconsistent in his 2021 campaign start, so there are high hopes that he will get off to a better start this year. Based on his performance, fans don’t have much to worry about.
Brittany teased a big year for her husband. It’s hard to not get hyped up and have high expectations of Mahomes who is looking to erase the bad taste from the AFC Championship Game.

The servo-hydraulic drive system
In servo-hydraulic systems, uncontrolled standard motors are replaced by precisely controllable servo motors. The most important advantage of these speed-controlled pump drives is their more efficient metering of the energy introduced and therefore enhanced energy efficiency. Further bonuses of servo-hydraulics are their optimized control quality, compactness and lower noise emissions. This is why the concept of combining hydraulic power transfer with the principle of speed-controlled power supply has become a standard solution in many applications for some years now.
Changing over from conventional hydraulic systems with standard motors to servo-hydraulics is particularly worthwhile if the machining cycle includes many or long pause times or partial load ranges in which no hydraulic power is removed. Retrofit solutions may also be a good idea and may significantly improve the energy efficiency of existing machines. Switching to a servo-hydraulic drive is not rocket science, and the advantages are apparent over the entire service life of the machine.
You can find a comparison of classic hydraulic drives with servo-hydraulic systems and some application examples here
Once you have made the decision to switch to servo-hydraulics, the next step is the system architecture. There are a number of points to consider here that do not apply to conventional hydraulic systems with standard motors.
A servo-hydraulic system consists of a servo converter that drives a synchronous servo motor. This motor drives a constant pump. The pressure and volume flow set values are sent from the control unit to the converter. Pressure and flow rate are controlled on the converter by adjusting the speed. As in the conventional hydraulic systems with standard motors, the actual positions are read out via the machine control unit. For the design of the drive system, the mechanical engineer passes on the values for the required flow rate and pressure to the system supplier, e.g. Baumüller. Baumüller takes over the design of the entire drive system, including the pump, the motor, and the converter.
The hardware: pump
Constant pumps are generally used in servo-hydraulic systems. Baumüller can work with any of the standard pump manufacturers on request. Numerous manufacturers have their own series for variable-speed operation in their product range that exactly meets the requirements of servo-hydraulic systems and is designed for high accelerations. Compared to an uncontrolled hydraulic system with a standard motor, the pump will be smaller because decoupling from the mains is a frequent occurrence. This allows a higher speed and smaller pump dimensions.
As a special feature, Baumüller offers three different options for the connection between the pump and motor. In the Standard Line, the attachment is made using the conventional solution of coupling and pump support. This tried-and-tested option can be achieved with a standard motor shaft and motor flange and is flexible due to the separate components. The second development stage, the Advanced Line, describes the direct attachment of the pump on the motor via internal toothing. Here there is no need for a pump support and coupling, so the system is more compact and robust. Omitting the pump support as a resonating body also reduces the noise impact. In the third stage, the Performance Line, the hydraulic fluid is additionally used for intelligent circulating oil lubrication. For this purpose, connections were added not only to the motor but also to the constant pump, allowing the leakage flow of the pump to be used for the permanent lubrication of the toothing. This eliminates an otherwise necessary grease lubrication of the internal toothing, which would be due every 3,000 operating hours on average, also rendering the system particularly robust. Baumüller thus offers a solution registered for patent, which leads to significantly reduced service costs in operation.
The hardware: motor
Permanent magnet synchronous motors are used as motors in servo-hydraulic systems. The main criterion for selecting servo motors is good performance in terms of dynamics and overload capacity. The speed range also plays a major role in motor selection, as the pumps can run at up to 6,000 rpm, which is then also required of the motor. Baumüller offers various motor series for use in servo-hydraulic systems, from the dynamic three-phase current servo motor DSD2 to the three-phase current synchronous motor DS2. This allows a wide performance range to be covered. The oil cooling option affords additional advantages. Liquid-cooled motors have a higher power density than air-cooled motors and can therefore be designed with smaller dimensions. In a hydraulic system, it makes sense to exploit these advantages, since there is oil in the machine anyway. Baumüller offers its servo motors in sizes 45 to 132 with oil cooling. The synchronous main drives are available as an oil-cooled version from size 100 up to size 200.
The hardware: converter
Also referred to as the servo drive, the converter constitutes the biggest difference to an uncontrolled hydraulic system. It plays a key role in the selection of the appropriate system. The servo drive contains the software for pressure and flow rate control and for numerous other functions, e.g. pump monitoring. In addition, the converter must offer the right interfaces to integrate the drive system into the machine. The Baumüller b maXX 5000 and b maXX 3000 converter series have analog interfaces for the pressure sensors and interfaces for all common fieldbuses, enabling a simple connection to the central control unit. When switching from a hydraulic system with a standard motor, the requirements for the central control unit do not change, so mechanical engineers have the option of working with their customary control types. The motor and the converter are designed as a package tailored to the performance requirements. It is advantageous if the electronics also have oil cooling, as the medium is already present in the machine. Baumüller b maXX 5000 servo drives feature the oil cooling option.
The hardware: IoT and controls
At Baumüller, the servo-hydraulic system is an entirely drive-based solution. This means that the requirements for the central control unit do not change when switching from a standard motor to a regulated servo motor. The interfaces for connecting the control unit to the machine remain the same. The system can be implemented with a wide variety of control unit types, regardless of the manufacturer.
For more transparency in production, the servo drives offer intelligent functionalities that further improve the performance of servo-hydraulic systems. The permanent collection, evaluation and transfer of data in the converter allows the continuous monitoring and visualization of the technical status of a machine or system. Certain events can thereby be calculated in advance, so that possible machine failures can be detected at an early stage and maintenance intervals can be planned based on wear.
Optimized process sequences are achieved, for example, by means of intelligent control algorithms, such as adaptive pressure precontrol. With this algorithm, the software enables an overshoot-free pressure jump in minimum time and completely automatically, with a smooth transition in just a few milliseconds.
The software, which includes all functionalities for operating the servo-hydraulic system, is integrated directly in the servo converter and is fundamentally responsible for ensuring maximum utilization of the advantages of servo hydraulics. A graphical user interface is used for the parameterization of the converter. Baumüller's guided commissioning makes it possible to commission the system quickly, even without in-depth programming knowledge or profound expertise in servo drive technology. Parameterization can also be carried out by Baumüller experts as a service, and they can also offer support with optimizations and challenges in series production.
In addition to the required standard functionalities, such as pressure and flow rate control or online data set switching, the latest Baumüller v2+ software for servo-hydraulic systems includes numerous protection and monitoring functions that further enhance the performance and reliability of the system.
As a system provider, Baumüller can take over the design of the drive system as well as the commissioning and support up to the point where it is ready for series production. Baumüller supports the machine builder with its many years of experience and the necessary know-how when changing the system.

“Young Girl Holding a Basket of Fruit,” a mid-18th-century piece by François-Hubert Drouais, spells out the metaphor. One breast provocatively exposed, the girl in question holds up a bunch of dewy grapes, her expression telegraphing that there’s fruit — and then there’s fruit.

That he took the resources at hand—his musical talents, his energy, his faithful heart—and molded them into an ongoing daily labor of love is a lesson and an inspiration to all of us.
Notes Lev, “Despite his ubiquity … he has returned to the sidelines of artistic innovation. The statues go unnoticed; his placement at the Nativity, pro forma; his might and authority, almost forgotten. St. Joseph has become so visible as to have become invisible.”

Most of WCCTV's product line and use cases involve a highly overt approach to surveillance. Such use cases are designed to prevent crime and provide reassurance within communities that have been affected by crime.
However, covert CCTV cameras offer a different approach. As they are hidden from public view, the sole purpose of covert cameras is to catch criminals in the act and secure prosecutions.
Below, we outline the key characteristics of Covert CCTV, explore how they work, and what benefits they offer.
Covert cameras are very discreet CCTV security cameras used to capture footage in various environments and circumstances without being identified, detected or seen by the general public. They bring significant benefits to businesses.
WCCTV's 4G Covert Dome is an all-in-one rapid-deployment solution that combines an HD PTZ camera, 4TB of edge video recording, and 4G live video transmission into a ruggedised, durable covert housing blends into its surroundings.
The system is easy to install, maintain, and move to new locations to target crime hotspots or if your application changes.
We do not publicise images of specifications of our Covert Mini Dome to ensure active deployments are not compromised.
Instead, we encourage Local Authorities and Police interested in learning more about the solution to complete a quick contact form using their official email address to discuss the CCTV system in more detail.
Covert CCTV cameras are used where there is a requirement to monitor activities in a particular location, completely undetected.
A covert CCTV camera will be suitable if your application is focused on gathering high-quality video evidence to support criminal Investigation and secure arrests.
Use cases for covert CCTV cameras:
Identification of criminals responsible for vandalism
Identification of criminals responsible for fly-tipping
When deployed for the appropriate application, covert CCTV cameras offer a latitude of benefits. Here are the top five as identified by the CCTV experts at WCCTV.
Discreet Investigation: they are very efficient in preventing crime. They can be installed in a hidden and strategic place for your application to capture the necessary footage whilst remaining anonymous.
Evidence Gathering: A CCTV activity can go undetected; it increases the likelihood that the cameras will capture video evidence of crimes in progress, leading to the identification of the offenders.
Increased Arrest Rates: By capturing evidence of crimes in progress, covert CCTV cameras deliver increased arrests and charges against criminals.
Protection of People and Property: All the above benefits will help reduce crime rates by taking criminals off the street. This, in turn, will enhance safety for people and property.
Additional CCTV Coverage: Covert CCTV cameras can supplement other camera deployments by providing coverage in areas where more discreet CCTV is required. There is no need to choose between either, as both can work effectively.
WCCTV is the UK's leading supplier of redeployable CCTV cameras, providing systems services to over 450 local authority departments since 2001.
Redeployable CCTV allows users to target locations associated with crimes such as ASB, fly-tipping, gang activity and drug crimes.
The cameras capture evidentially secure video to support criminal activity and stream live footage using 4G mobile technology for live monitoring requirements.

The European Commission will help fund a DCNS-led ship-oriented initiative to reduce the noise created by ships, which is seen as a key factor to reduce the ecological impact of maritime transportation.
The Solutions to Reduce Noise & Vibration (SILENV) project, which will be led by the naval defence systems company, is designed to analyse noise pollution in maritime activities and draft a proposal for an acoustic green label to identify noise limits for each type of ship.
The EU will provide €3.5m out of the total €5m budget to study the impact of shipboard noise and vibration on crews and passengers, noise pollution in port environments as well as the impact of the noise generated by maritime traffic on marine fauna.
The first phase of the 36-month project will include a survey of existing standards, regulations and analyses to refine the objectives of each area of investigation.
The data collected through SILENV will include a ship acoustic survey and the final phases will include drafting proposals for noise reduction and computer modelling of the subsequent outcomes.
A total of 14 EU countries, including Bulgaria, France, Finland, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden and the UK will participate in the DCNS-led SILENV project.

M. Zohurul Islam FCA
Sources of Islamic Law
Islam has given the most comprehensive legal system to mankind. Islamic law covers all aspects of life. Islam has its own personal, civil, criminal, mercantile, evidence, constitutional and international law.
Islamic law has been defined as the body of rules of conduct revealed by Allah (SWT) to His Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) whereby the people are directed to lead their life in this world. Islamic law has, therefore, not been given by any ruler. It is given by Allah. Islamic law remains valid whether recognised by the State or not.
The basic source of Islamic law is Divine Revelation. This has been given to mankind by the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) in two forms. One is the direct word of Allah (SWT), the Quran and the other is the Sunnah or the teachings of the Prophet (Sm). The Prophet Sm) always acted according to the instructions of Allah (SWT).
The Quran is the primary source containing all the fundamental directives and instructions of Allah. Herein are to be found not only directives relating individual conduct but also principles relating to all the aspects of social and cultural life of human being.
The Quran is the last and complete edition of Divine Guidance and this is the only book of Allah which has not been distorted.
The Quran is not only a book of law. The main purpose of Quran is to awaken in man the higher consciousness of his relation with Allah and the universe. However, in the Quran there are at least five hundred verses which possess definite legal elements. The scholars of Islam have developed a complete science of interpretation of the Quranic verses which can be seen in any book of Islamic jurisprudence.
The Sunnah is the second source of Islamic law. Sunnah is an Arabic word which means "Method". It was applied by the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) as a legal term to represent what he said, did and agreed to. Its authority is derived from the text of the Quran. The Quran says,
"For you the life of the Prophet is a model of behaviour" (Al-Quran 33:21)
Many of books of traditions were compiled by the companions of the Prophet Sm). These were later on incorporated in the great collections of Hadith (i.e. traditions) of Bukhari, Muslim etc. The collectors of the traditions adopted a very scientific system in collection the Traditions. They did not record any tradition except with the chain of narrators. Every tradition gives the names of the last narrator of the tradition from whom he learnt the tradition and so on back to the Prophet or Companion of the Prophet. The Sunnah which is established through reliable narrators is fully dependable as legal element.
The Quran and Sunnah are complementary. The meaning of the Quran is general in nature, the Sunnah makes it specific and particular. The Sunnah explains the instructions of the Quran. The Quranic injunction is sometimes implicit, the Sunnah makes it explicit by providing essential ingredients and details.
The Quran and the Sunnah are the primary sources of Islamic law. Ijma (that is consensus of opinion of scholars) are Qiyas (that is laws derived through analogical deduction) are the secondary or dependent sources of Islamic law or Shariah.
Ijma and Qiyas derive their value or authority from the Quran and the Sunnah. Therefore, they are called dependent sources.
Ijma or the consensus of scholars signifies the importance of delegated legislation to the Muslim community. The Muslim society requires such a rule making power to meet the practical problems for the implementation of Islamic Shariah (Islamic Law). Ijma has been technically defined as the consensus of the jurists of a certain period over a religious matter. Ijma is considered a sufficient evidence for action because the Prophet if Islam said, "Muslim will never agreee on a wrong matter." As such the agreement of the scholars of Islam on any religious matter is a source of law in Islam (Ref: Principles of Islamic Jurispredence by M. Hashim Kamali).
Qiyas is the fourth important source of Islamic law. Qiyas means analogy. Qiyas or analogy is resorted to in respect of problems about which there is no specific provision in the Quran or the Sunnah of the Prophet. In such issues, the scholars have derived law through analogical deductionon the basis of the provisions of the Quran and the Sunnah on some similar situation. The scholars have developed detailed principles of analogical deductions or Qiyas in the books of Islamic jurisprudence.
Qiyas is a kind of Ijtihad. The Prophet has permitted Ijtihad which literally means 'to exert'. Technically it means to exert with a view to form an independent judgement on a legal issue. Ijtihad is the Islamic method of facing the new situations and problems in the light of the general principles of the book of Allah SWT), the Quran and the traditions of the Prophet or the Sunnah.
Apart from Qiyas, there are other methods of Ijtihad such as Istihsan (that is the juristic preference from different interpretations) and Masalaha (that is moral consideration).
In addition to the above sources, the practices of the Khulafa-e-Rashidun (the first four rulers of Islam), the decisions of the judges and the customs of the people are also considered sources of Islamic law in matters which are not spelled out in the Quran and the Sunnah.

In vitro performance characterization of the new sidestream plus breath-enhanced jet nebulizer
In vitro Performance Characterization of the New Sidestream® Plus Breath-Enhanced Jet Nebulizer
J.P. Young, T.J. Hurren, R.K. Harrington, R.H.M. Hatley, T. Dyche
Respironics Respiratory Drug Delivery (UK) Ltd, Chichester Business Park, Chichester, West
We compared in vitro the performance of a new breath-enhanced Sidestream Plus® (SP) nebulizer (NEB) in terms of particle size, respirable fraction and dose with that of an available breath-enhanced NEB (Pari LC Plus; LCP). Two drugs were used: 2mg/mL salbutamol sulphate (SALB), and 250mg/mL ipratropium bromide (IB). Particle size - mass median aerodynamic diameters (MMAD) - and respirable fractions (% particles <5m) - were measured with a Marple cascade impactor. For simulated treatment tests each NEB was connected via an inhalation filter to a Harvard pump and run until 60s after onset of sputter. Inhalation valve aerosol leakage was tested using a fume hood with extraction filter. Respirable dose was calculated from respirable fraction × inhalation filter dose. Tests were run in triplicate/drug and drug analyses performed with
IB with LCP 3.98µm. Respirable fractions: SALB with SP 63%, SALB with LCP 58%, IB with SP 68%, IB with LCP 60%. Respirable dose: SALB with SP 959 µg, SALB with LCP 1121 µg, IB with SP 64 µg, IB with LCP 81 µg. Extraction filter: SALB with SP <1 µg, SALB with LCP 11 µg, IB with SP 0µg, IB with LCP 0 µg. The new SP NEB compared favorably with the LCP, delivering an aerosol with a higher respirable fraction.
Figure 1. The new Sidestream Plus jet nebulizer
Sidestream® Plus is a new breath-enhanced jet nebulizer (Respironics Respiratory Drug Delivery (UK) Ltd) designed to deliver an aerosol with a high respirable fraction in a short nebulization time. For the introduction of a new jet nebulizer, it is of clinical value to compare the performance in terms of particle size, respirable fraction, respirable dose, and nebulization time with an available jet nebulizer within the same design category. We have therefore compared the performance of Sidestream Plus in terms of particle size and simulated treatment with that of an available breath-enhanced jet nebulizer (Pari LC Plus; Pari GmbH, Germany). Material and Methods
One nebulizer of each brand was tested in triplicate for each of two drugs: 2mg/mL salbutamol sulphate, and 250g/mL ipratropium bromide. The particle sizes - mass median aerodynamic diameters (MMAD) – and the respirable fractions (percent particles <5 m) were measured with a Marple cascade impactor with nebulizer fills of 2.5mL salbutamol sulfate, and 4mL ipratropium bromide. For simulated treatment tests each nebulizer was filled with 3mL albuterol, and 2mL ipratropium bromide, connected via an inhalation filter to a Harvard pump set to generate the CEN simulated breathing pattern (Vt = 500 mL, f = 15 breaths / min, I:E ratio = 1:1) and run until 60s after onset of sputter. Exhaled drug was caught on exhalation filters. Inhalation valve aerosol leakage was tested using a fume hood with extraction filter. The respirable dose was calculated from the respirable fraction × the inhalation filter dose. The tests were run in triplicate per drug and drug analyses were performed with HPLC. Results
Table 1. Mean results of the performance characterization There was a difference of 10-15% between the nebulizers for most of the performance parameters, apart from exhaled drug, which was approximately 45% less for Sidestream Plus compared with LC Plus.
Aerosol leakage caught by the extraction hood filter
Figure 2. Amount of drug caught on the extraction hood filter for the Sidestream Plus and LC Plus nebulizers. No aerosol leakage was detected when nebulizing ipratropium bromide, the largest amount of aerosol leakage was detected when nebulizing salbutamol sulphate through the LC Plus nebulizer. Discussion
These tests conducted with one device of each brand suggest that the performance of the new Sidestream Plus jet nebulizer will compare favorably with the performance of the LC Plus jet nebulizer. The results showed an aerosol mass median aerodynamic diameter from the Sidestream Plus approximately 10% smaller than the LC Plus, and a respirable fraction approximately 10% greater than the LC Plus. The amount of aerosol wasted to the atmosphere was approximately 45% less from the Sidestream Plus compared to the LC Plus, this could be of importance for those in the vicinity of patients nebulizing drug formulations with unwanted side effect profiles. The time to sputter was also approximately 15% shorter for the Sidestream Plus, which could be advantageous for patients taking multiple daily nebulizer treatments. The inhalation valve of the Sidestream Plus seemed to operate more efficiently than the inhalation valve on the LC Plus in these tests. These results need to be confirmed in a larger sample of nebulizers. Conclusions
It is of clinical importance to compare the characteristics of a new breath-enhanced nebulizer with those of existing nebulizers. The new Sidestream Plus nebulizer compared favorably with the LC Plus, it had a higher respirable fraction, lower exhaled dose, and shorter time to sputter.

CHICAGO — Former George County High baseball standout Justin Steele made some history Sunday afternoon without even taking the field.
Steele, a current member of the Chicago Cubs starting rotation, was named to the pitching staff for the National League team for the upcoming Major League Baseball All-Star Game on Tuesday, July 11th in Seattle.
It marks the first time in the history of the prestigious contest that a graduate of George County High School was selected to be a part of it.
Steele overcame some injury issues early in his career to become one of the top starting pitchers this season in the Majors.
“No doubt it’s something the people of Lucedale and George County can be proud of,” Bruce Thronton, longtime coach at GCHS and a citizen of Lucedale for over four decades, said. Thornton also serves as the Sports Director at WRBE (FM—106.9) radio that covers George County High sports exclusively and extensively. “He’s just been such a positive figure for the community and school. It’s a proud moment for us all.”
The 28-year-old Steele was informed with the rest of the Cubs players of his selection to the team Sunday afternoon after their game vs. the Cleveland Guardians.
Steele leads the NL in ERA (2.43), and he left a lasting impression on the selection committee with his latest outing in a win over Cleveland on Friday afternoon.
The southpaw hurled just over six stanzas of scoreless frames Friday in the friendly confines of Wrigley Field, leading the Cubs to a 10-1 win over the Guardians and snapping Chicago’s four-game losing streak.
“It’s crossed my mind,” Steele told MLB.com after Friday’s win, about his chances at making the ASG. “It’d be quite the honor. It’d be really cool, another notch on the belt. I just take pride in showing up each and every day when the ball is handed to me and just giving my team the best chance to win the game that day.”
George County head baseball coach Brandon Davis coached Steele throughout his four seasons with the Rebels and keeps in constant contact with him.
“I was actually supposed to go to Friday’s game but it was my 22nd wedding anniversary,’ Davis said. “I stay in touch with all of my guys that are still playing, and I text Justin just after I heard the news and congratulated him.
“We couldn’t be more proud of him, and in addition to being such an outstanding player, he’s an even better person that comes from just a great family. He’s so grounded in who he is and where he comes from and when he’s home he always comes to help out with the team,” Davis added.
Friday’s outing was Steele’s latest strong performance in a long line of successful starts dating back to last season. For the past calendar year, he has a 1.99 ERA in 122 innings across 22 starts. That stat marks the lowest ERA in MLB over that span among pitchers with at least 100 innings pitched.
“I thought he was as advertised,” Guardians manager Terry Francona told MLB.com. “His fastball’s got really good life.”
“He’s a horse, man,” Cubs manager David Ross told MLB.com. “Every time he takes the bump, he feels like a guy [that] it’s Win Day. He loves to take the ball. He’s been really good, man. He’s turned into an ace, is what I think he is. He’s proven it.”
This season, the Cubs are 9-6 when Steele pitches, and he stands 9-2 overall. According to MLB stats, he entered Friday with a 2.4 fWAR which is seventh among all starting pitchers and third in the National League, despite missing two starts this month due to a forearm strain.
“It’s pretty incredible for him to earn this accomplishment,” Davis concluded. “It has to be right up there as one of the highest honors ever to be achieved in this county to be the first player ever to graduate high school here and selected to play in the Major League Baseball All-Star Game. It’s a dream come true for him I’m sure. And it’s well deserved because he’s earned every honor coming to him, and I don’t think this will be the last.”

Hungary’s economy is the fastest growing in the European Union, Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó said on Monday, at the inauguration of a TBZ Tap feed plant near Böhönye in southwest Hungary.
Agricultural company TBZ Tap, a member of the Claessens Group, topped out a 3.1 billion forint (EUR 9.3m) feed production plant in Böhönye, southwest Hungary.
Claessens was awarded a 1.24 billion forint government grant for the plant which will turn out 100,000 tonnes of feed a year, a large part of which will go to the group’s own livestock, said co-owner Peter Claessens.
The plant will raise headcount at the group from 250 to 300, he added.
At the inauguration, Szijjártó noted that while Hungary was on the “brink of insolvency” in 2010, it is now a “European champion” with an annual growth of 5.1 percent. Full employment is “within reach”, and the country ranks 34th on the global exports performance list, even though it is 92nd regarding population, he said.
The excellent performance of Hungarian people and companies was key to that success, as was the government’s economic policy which introduced the lowest tax rates in the EU, he said.
In Somogy county, where the plant is located, the value of investments doubled in the first quarter of 2019 to 20 billion forints compared to the same period last year, he said.

Barcelona want Dani Alves quick
FC Barcelona are leaping forward to complete the signing of right back Daniel Alves from Sevilla as early as this week so that they can unveil the player next week.
It is thought that Alves himself has agreed personal terms with the Spanish and European giants and it is only a matter of days before he becomes a Barcelona player. Barcelona have presented Alvesâ current club Sevilla with a â¬25 million offer, which the Andalusian club are yet to agree upon.
But according to latest reports, Barca president Joan Laporta is very much eager to kickstart the summer building and he seems to want to start the summer spending spree with the signing of arguably the best right back in the world Dani Alves. The Brazilian international has been in tremendous form in the last three seasons and is still being chased by a host of other European giants.
Last summer Chelsea came close to landing Alves at Stamford Bridge but their â¬36 million bid was rejected by the Sevilla president Jose Maria del Nido. The consequence was that they had a very disgruntled Dani Alves on their hands and that hasnât helped impair the frosty relation between the player and his club president.
But this time everyone sees to agree that Alves will eventually move away from the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan. After Sevillaâs Seville derby with Real Betis at the weekend he was quoted as bidding farewell to the Sevilla fans which seem to imply that Barca shall wrap up the deal inside this week which wouldnât allow Alves to play in Sevillaâs last match of the season at the weekend.

The hometown hockey hero won’t know what hit him…
Karen Webber is in small-town hell. After her mother’s death, she moved to Corrigan Falls to live with strangers—her dad and his perfect, shiny new family—and there doesn’t seem to be room for a city girl with a chip on her shoulder. The only person who makes her feel like a real human being is Tyler MacDonald.
But Karen isn’t interested in starting something with a player. And that’s all she keeps hearing about Tyler.
Corrigan Falls is a hockey town, and Tyler’s the star player. But the viselike pressure from his father and his agent are sending him dangerously close to the edge. All people see is hockey—except Karen. Now they’ve managed to find something in each other that they both desperately need. And for the first time, Tyler is playing for keeps…
This is my second Entangled Crush book... and will most certainly not be the last. I went into it expecting a sweet little romantic story, and ended up discovering there was so much more below the surface.
Karen has moved from the big city to a small town to live with her father after her mother died. She hasn't had anything to do with him all her life, but now she's forced into it. It's not easy for any of them to adjust to, especially her step-mom, Natalie, and her half-siblings. Stories are being told all over town about Karen, the new arrival to the family, along with some not-so-nice rumors about her family. The transition isn't easy, but Karen finds a friend in Tyler when he rescues her from a squirrel (completely hilarious and adorable scene, by the way). The two of them have this level of understanding, and they each grow throughout the story.
Center Ice was brilliant squared. I mean, I was so enraptured by this book--the romance, the emotion, the overall feel of learning about life--the author did an amazing job. I caught myself tearing up numerous times, my heart going out to Karen and her family and even Tyler. Karen was a great protagonist--she was real, like REALLY real--not a pushover and willing to stand up for herself and speak her mind regardless of how anyone reacts. Cate Cameron has definitely made her way up there when it comes to authors for me. Amazing job--keep them coming!

The white goods industry, which has been battling poor sales for over six months, expects air-conditioner sales to grow almost 20% this summer based on early sales trend and forecast by India Meteorological Department (IMD) of average temperature being above normal by more than one degree Celsius in most of the country from March to May.
Companies are now building up additional inventory pipeline as they were earlier expecting 10-12% sales growth. “We are ramping up production by almost 20% since we expect much higher sales growth now than what was initially expected,” said Tata-owned Voltas managing director Pradeep Bakshi. “There is also a lot of pent-up demand of last year. We are gearing up our production to stock up,” he said.
The white goods industry has been battered with consumers holding back discretionary spending whereby several categories like television, refrigerators and washing machines reporting flat to low single digit growth since the introduction of GST. The airconditioner market last year too got hit due to GST and after-effects of demonetisation.
Daikin Air-Conditioning India CEO KJ Jawa said the company has ramped up production with target of growing faster than the market. “We have recently started production at our second plant which has increased the annual capacity from 7 lakh units to 1.5 million units. The target is to touch Rs 4,000 crore sales this year as compared to Rs 3,250 crore of last year,” he said.
AC makers have also moved to a common energy efficiency rating, Indian Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (ISEER ratings) as mandated by the government for both inverter compressor models and lower-priced fixed speed AC models. The companies expect this will boost sales since consumers can compare the models on an even platform and realise higher savings on their electricity bills.

Modi ‘removed’ crucial note ban files: Mamata
Opening another front in her fight against Prime Minister Narendra Modi on demonetisation, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday accused him of “removing crucial files” related to the notes ban.
She also alleged that demonetisation was a “ploy to transform white money into black and black money into white”.
“Crucial files are being removed by Narendra Modi and his office. We will get to know the magnitude of the scam only after Modi is ousted from office. This demonetisation is nothing but a ploy to change white money into black and black money into white,” she told a rally outside the RBI office here.
Mamata urged the Reserve Bank of India authorities to “stand up against the anti-people Modi government” and reveal the amount of money provided to various states after high-value currency notes were taken off circulation.
Claiming that the CBI was being “used to victimise” her party because it raised its voice against demonetisation, the Trinamool Congress chief accused the central investigating agency of “using” former employees of Saradha and Rose Valley chit fund companies to create “back offices” in order to come up with “false evidence” to implicate TMC leaders in the scam.
The TMC has been staging a 72-hour sit-in outside the RBI office here against demonetisation since January 9.
“The RBI was kept in the dark about the decision. It should stand up against the Modi government and reveal the real reasons behind demonetisation. It should make public how much money has been pumped back into the economy and the amount states have received post demonetisation,” Banerjee said.
She alleged that “only Modi and two-three of his associates” were aware of the decision to scrap old Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 currency notes. Banerjee indirectly hit out at a section of industrialists and officials close to Modi, describing them as “part of Modi’s team” behind the demonetisation decision.
“They (Modi government) have turned the CBI into the Conspiracy Bureau of India and are using it for pursuing vendetta politics. The CBI has created a back office to come up with false evidence against our leaders to implicate them in chit fund cases,” she alleged.
Meanwhile, meeting the President for the third time since demonetisation, TMC MPs on Wednesday accused the Modi government of having imposed a “super emergency” by launching the exercise and engaging in “vendetta politics” by arresting two party lawmakers after it opposed the “draconian” move.
Speaking to reporters after marching from South Avenue to Rashtrapati Bhawan to protest against the note ban, the MPs also held Prime Minister Narendra Modi responsible for the death of 120 people, caused allegedly by the move, and sought President Pranab Mukherjee’s intervention as the situation had turned “grim”.
“After outlining the grim situation, we first had called this (demonetisation) a financial emergency. Today, we believe, as we share (concern) with the President, this is now a super emergency,” TMC’s Rajya Sabha member Derek O’Brien said.
“Because you know what is happening...TMC led by Mamata Banerjee has opposed the move and the pain and suffering it causes. The timing of what is happening is a political vendetta.

Would a report like the Myers Briggs be helpful to identify and prioritize what’s important for a leadership team to excel? Do you know your type and preferences? Would you be interested in an assessment? If yes, please email me.
Jung’s Theory of Psychological Types and the MBTI® Instrument
The MBTI instrument is based on Jung’s ideas about perception and judgment, and the attitudes in which these are used in different types of people. The aim of the MBTI instrument is to identify, from self self-report of easily recognized reactions, the basic preferences of people in regard to perception and judgment, so that the effects of each preference, singly and in combination, can be established by research and put into practical use.
The MBTI instrument contains four separate indices. Each index reflects one of four basic preferences which, under Jung’s theory, direct the use of perception and judgment. The preferences affect not only what people attend to in any given situation, but also how they draw conclusions about what they perceive.
The E–I index is designed to reflect whether a person is an extrovert or an introvert in the sense intended by Jung. Jung regarded extroversion and introversion as “mutually complementary” attitudes whose differences “generate the tension that both the individual and society need for the maintenance of life.” Extroverts are oriented primarily toward the outer world; thus they tend to focus their perception and judgment on people and objects. Introverts are oriented primarily toward the inner world; thus they tend to focus their perception and judgment upon concepts and ideas.
The S–N index is designed to reflect a person’s preference between two opposite ways of perceiving; one may rely primarily upon the process of sensing (S), which reports observable facts or happenings through one or more of the five senses; or one may rely upon the less obvious process of intuition (N), which reports meanings, relationships and/or possibilities that have been worked out beyond the reach of the conscious mind.
The T–F index is designed to reflect a person’s preference between two contrasting ways of judgment. A person may rely primarily through thinking (T) to decide impersonally on the basis of logical consequences, or a person may rely primarily on feelings (F) to decide primarily on the basis of personal or social values.
The J–P index is designed to describe the process a person uses primarily in dealing with the outer world, that is, with the extroverted part of life. A person who prefers judgment (J) has reported a preference for using a judgment process (either thinking or feeling) for dealing with the outer world. A person who prefers perception (P) has reported a preference for using a perceptive process (either S or N) for dealing with the outer world.
The Sixteen Types
Why use assessments? We know that (1) leadership can be tricky to define across all situations, (2) effective leaders combine natural talent, subject matter expertise, and the ability to adapt and learn; and (3) processes and tools exist that can incrementally and significantly improve performance.
About the MBTI: The Myers-Briggs® assessment has its roots in Carl Jung’s theory of psychological type. Katharine Briggs and her daughter, Isabel Briggs Myers, developed Jung’s theory and the first forms of the instrument, sharing a vision “to enable individuals to grow through an understanding and appreciation of individual differences in healthy personality and to enhance harmony and productivity among diverse groups.”
Reliability: Today, the MBTI assessment is available in 21 languages, with more translations and international research efforts in development. With its long and distinguished history, it continues to be used by people around the world to improve individual and team performance, explore careers, and reduce workplace conflict. Through these and other applications, the MBTI assessment is playing a part in the vision laid out by Briggs and Myers, helping people understand and appreciate themselves and others.

Kenya rosemary (rosmarinus officialis) is an evergreen herb that does well in warm climates but withstands cool conditions impressively. It has green needle-like leaves with purplish-blue, white or pink flowers. Kenya rosemary is among the best in the world but you can also find the herb in Uganda, Italy, Spain, Egypt, Portugal, Dalmatia and Turkey.
Growing 3 to 5 feet in height, Kenya rosemary has strong anti-fungal, antimicrobial and antiseptic abilities. It has been a medicinal herb for ages especially in its native home of the Mediterranean. Here, Romans took advantage of the rosmarinic acid in the leaves, a soothing antioxidant, to treat headaches and pain.
Rosemary enjoys vibrant growth in these areas of Kenya: Imenti in Meru, Kikambala on the North Coast, the shores of Lake Nakuru in the Rift Valley, Kiambu and Murang’a in Central Province and Gilgil on the east-rift. These regions provide the basic growth conditions inclusive of loamy soil with an alkaline PH of 6 to 7 and warm weather with at least eight hours of daily sunlight. Though the plant does well in potted environments, for large-scale sourcing we go to family growers with sizable herbal gardens where you can find rosemary growing side by side with mint, parsley and basil.
We pack rosemary straight on the farm the same day of harvesting. We use special-purpose cartons that range from 1 kg to 3kg for ease of carrying. Each carton ho several bunches with various bunch sizes of either 30g, 50g, 80g or 100g.
Pre-cooling takes place immediately before shipping to reduce respiration and water loss from the rosemary leaves. Our handling department pre-cools Kenya rosemary at the recommended temperature of 5 degrees celsius before storing it in readiness for shipment at 1 degrees celsius.
The delivery takes place on the pre-agreed date of your choice. The herbs are transported to the Jomo Kenya International Airport by custom delivery vehicles. Depending on the part of the world we are shipping to, the order should be at your doorstep a few days after shipment if not on the actual date of delivery.
Our prices for Kenya rosemary are quite competitive and reflect both the season and the current market factors. We adjust accordingly so that we offer our customers value for money even as we balance the remuneration for family growers from whom we source the herb.
With our GAP certifications and allocation of KEBs standards in every shipment, Selina Wamucii doubles up as your partner of choice for obtaining rosemary and other fresh herbs that go above par in standard quality parameters. On top of that, you can expect year-round shipment of this herb which is available most of the year in Kenya.
