While Jurassic World can’t match the originals innovation, it still provides the audience with an entertaining and thrilling film that brings freshness back to the series after two subpar follow-ups.
By Michael Menendez
Welcome to Jurassic World, a fully functional dinosaur theme park that is running smoothly 22 years after the original parks plans were put on hold after a couple safety issues. In this park, we have rides for all ages, ranging from a Tyrannosaurus Rex Exhibit to a dinosaur petting zoo. But, as happens with all theme parks (especially in a world where dinosaurs are as common as dogs), the park needs something bold to reel in the new wave of people.
This leads to genetically modifying dinosaurs, something that the park, now run by InGen, will regret doing later on in the film. With the parks newly “designed” dinosaur, the Indominus Rex, trouble is just around the corner (not only in this film, but we’ll get to that later). The whole movie centers on two brothers whose aunt (Bryce Dallas Howard) runs the park, and how their visit to Isla Nubar (home to Jurassic World) goes horribly wrong.
Throughout the film, we are given a look at where this franchise would like to go next, seeing newly A-list star Chris Pratt train raptors to have respect for him (as he does them). Genetically designing a dinosaur- with genes that give the audience a number of good surprises- bad things are bound to happen when you “play god” – as perfectly exemplified by the original classic.
At its most questionable moments, Jurassic World is still a very entertaining movie that easily surpasses both the previous sequels in not only quality but level of fun to be had. Chris Pratt offers a (expectedly) likable lead, even though his chemistry with Bryce Dallas Howard is pretty one-sided. As for the rest of the cast, they’re mostly filler to bring the story arc from one point to the next. The real stars of the film, though, are of course the dinosaurs.
They, by no means, disappoint. Whereas the last two films in the series felt stale, Jurassic World breathes new life into a franchise that will provide thrills in the form of the prehistoric to a new generation (much as the plot of the film tried to do for its theme park).
With VFX looking more real every day, this film jumps on the opportunity to provide exhilarating set pieces that really do make it believable that a park of such magnitude could exist (along with all the marketing that comes with a theme park, tastefully joked about in the film). With that being said, this film does a great job of not forgetting its roots, with plenty of nods to the original that provide it with a great sense of nostalgia, something that seems lost in most of Hollywood’s big tent poles today.
The effects are great, the action is riveting, and the story does just enough justice to the original to recommend to people that aren’t accustomed to this franchise. With a new direction on the film from indie director Colin Trevorrow (Safety Not Guaranteed) in his first big-budget film, there is a sense of not knowing what to do with what he was given, given that his last film was made for around $750,000 and Jurassic World an estimated $150 million. Still, though, he implements his touch for human interaction- a driving force in his previous work- whereas directed by someone else may have not been able to elevate the relatively thin characters to at least somewhat substantial.
Early marketing left people curious about how the raptors would be brought into play in this film, and this writer can’t say that the final product can escape the shadow of silliness entirely. With the raptors, though, we do get one of the most entertaining scenes in the film, so it’s give and take. Which can be said for the film as a whole, really.
All in all, this film is an easy recommendation to anyone who is awed by the sight of dinosaurs and wants to have a good time at the movies, albeit a rather thin script that seems to serve as more of an opening to a new franchise rather than a standalone film about dinos. Oh, and, if you were disappointed by the appearance of the Tyrannosaurus Rex in the previous two films, this one leaves nothing wanted in that department.
More teeth, I believe they put it. More teeth.

The vast majority of the rural population residing in dryland areas is involved in agriculture, with livelihoods based on crops and livestock. In many areas livestock makes up 50% or more of the produce consumed or marketed.
With this in mind, the development of agriculture and agriculture-related activities is obviously a major driver of rural economic growth and food security. The often low productivity of the production systems of resource-poor, dry land farmers can be improved with cost-effective management, efficient integration of all farming activities (crops and livestock), efforts to address the yield gap, and proper, strengthened linkages throughout the market chain.
ICARDA’s Diversification and Sustainable Intensification of Production Systems Program – or DSIPS- works under the research themes of sustainable intensification, diversification and rangeland management. Programs have two key aims: Sustainable intensification of market-oriented, dryland farming systems, and Diversification of farming systems with different crop, livestock and horticultural options.
Despite their significant economic and cultural value, rangelands suffer from low productivity and increasing rates of degradation and desertification. ICARDA aims to reverse these trends by adopting an innovative, participatory, and multi-dimensional approach that includes all stakeholders involved in rangeland management.
ICARDA’s Rangeland Ecology and Management Unit aims to reverse land degradation and desertification through the development of sustainable integrated range-livestock production systems, and the development and adoption of new technologies.
Activities are undertaken in seven main areas:
- Rangeland monitoring and assessment
- Biodiversity characterization and conservation
- Rehabilitation potential and methods
- Improved grazing management
- Institutional arrangements and policy options
- Assessing and improving ecosystem services
- Capacity building
Encompassing all rangeland stakeholders – including natural resource managers, pastoralists, agro-pastoralists, and policy makers – initiatives will provide a framework for national agricultural research systems and other partners to plan effective strategies for range management research.
Implementation will exploit advances in rangeland research - the use of remote sensing, GPS, and social science perspectives – to understand how the management of these vulnerable regions can be improved.
Program Director: Dr. Hichem Ben Salem
Given that human resources are the cornerstone of successful rangeland development, it is essential to build the capacities of local individuals and institutions involved. ICARDA therefore aims to provide appropriate training and education – especially in planning and evaluation.
Rangeland issues are complex and require a multi-dimensional approach to fully understand how to effectively manage their dynamic ecosystems.
ICARDA’s approach to rangeland research is governed by six main themes:
- Monitoring and assessment: inventories, assessments and appropriate mappings are required to properly analyze the use and condition of rangelands. To ensure that lands are capable of providing sustainable products for future generations, their ecological conditions should be monitored against specific standards.
- Biodiversity conservation: identifying, conserving, and multiplying highly grazed species. Priority will be given to varieties resistant to drought and salinity which will be introduced to rehabilitate degraded rangeland regions.
- Rehabilitation: identifying native and introduced species tailored to different agro-ecological situations; integrating tree and shrub planting for good quality animal feed; and introducing cost-effective water harvesting techniques easily adapted to pastoral communities.
- Grazing management: introducing sustainable grazing methods to enhance productivity and alleviate pressures on natural resources such as soil and water. One potential intervention is to adjust the spatial distribution of animals and water resources in a specific grazing area.
- Institution and policy options: ensuring community ownership so that pastoralists become long-term guardians of their resource base. Communities and governments need to work together to develop robust rules and regulations so that all stakeholders are aware of their responsibilities.
- Ecosystem services: encouraging diversification and alternative sustainable livelihood strategies such as the production of organic animal products and eco-tourism. The program will identify community-based approaches to identify potential activities related to sustainable intensification and market opportunities.
Capacity development and knowledge networks: appropriate training and education will be provided, particularly policy formation, knowledge sharing, support for research and technology transfer, and the sustainable management of common resources.
Diversification/ Improving opportunities
This theme is focused on market-oriented income diversification and livelihood improvement. The range of options includes alternative cropping, novel livestock systems and the adding of value to primary (raw) products.
Within this theme, work strands include:
- Market-driven options for crop diversification using crop and forage rotation strategies. These include winter/summer crops and forages with supplemental irrigation; and high value crop options including vegetables, fruit trees, medicinal and aromatic plants as well as the development of novel plant-based and livestock-based products.
- Market-driven options for livestock diversification through the development of range/crop/forage integration; the utilization of native breeds; through unlocking the potential of safe, peri-urban production.
- Development of improved income flows from value added enhancement of primary livestock products; new options for the production of high quality, hygienic and safe products; better access to market data and market place transactions; assistance to boost the capacity of institutional bodies (public and private) and the development of supporting policies to help this happen.
Intensification/ Raising Productivity
Sustainable intensification of market-oriented, dry land farming systems designed to give increased productivity through exploiting yield potential, improved management, and the sustainable use of genetic and natural resources.
Within this theme work strands include:
- Methods and options to support crop intensification for boosting productivity, through conservation agriculture, managed food/feed crop integration, cereal/legume rotations and multiple cropping.
- Agronomic practice development to improve water use efficiency and better economic returns per unit of available water.
- Intensifying livestock production systems in a sustainable and cost-effective way to capture diverse market opportunities.
- Developing a framework for community-based livestock breeding to allow easy access by farmers to improved breeds, and in the process, matching the available genetic resources and breed potential to market opportunities.
- Analyzing the causes of yield gaps through modeling, followed by the identification of interventions designed to fill the gap, including looking at policy implications.

On Pulwama Attack anniversary Rahul Gandhi asking who benefitted from Pulwama is shocking!
Why do our netas stoop so much in their desire to oppose PM Modi or to counter PM Modi that they ask all sorts of stupid questions?
‘Who benefitted from Pulwama terror attack’ Rahul Gandhi tweeted this question. And one Congress neta went a step further saying, “such attack will again happen in 2024 before elections”. What are they trying to suggest to the international community? How shameful?
It all started with Rahul Gandhi asking who benefitted from Pulwama attack. It was shocking! Congress netas were quick to support him as was expected. Congress politicians blind support to Rahul Gandhi whether what he says is right or wrong has brought Congress to what it is today.
Congress has lost its ability to understand the pulse of the nation, to understand security-related issues in their desire to oppose Modi and in their desire to please Rahul Gandhi. This is one of the reasons why Congress is losing its vote bank day by day. On an issue concerning India’s national security such questions only give a tool in the hands of Pakistan to save its face and the terrorists it supports. An opposition neta can oppose Modi and the ruling dispensation constitution allows it but opposing Modi and BJP should not lead to compromising India’s national security and India’s position on terror. India’s national interests and security come first. Rahul Gandhi explains what he meant by that. During 26/11 Mumbai terror attack, one big Congress neta has already claimed 26/11 is work of RSS. Thank God Kasab was captured by Tukaram Ombale, the policeman (he was martyred) that nation came to know Kasab was Pakistani citizen and one Pakistani news channel had done a sting to prove it. Why is Congress behaving this way?
Rahul Gandhi’s statements after the abrogation of article 370, “people are dying in Kashmir” was already used by Imran khan in un general assembly. Using such words is almost like giving clean chit to Pakistan.
These words will not help India’s oldest party and a dynast from India’s first political family. Asking the progress of the probe is a genuine question but asking who benefitted is questionable. People are not fool. They understand what it means. People are much smarter than what politicians think. Who are these netas like Rahul Gandhi trying to suggest? Remember, when Congress was in power there were so many terror attacks across India from Mumbai local to 26/11 Mumbai to Delhi and whatnot. Now in this new regime, there was only one attack outside JK (Jammu-Kashmir) the Pathankot airbase attack. Not a single terror attack outside JK has happened except Pathankote since Modi became the prime minister. The terror attacks are limited to Kashmir only. By God’s grace one day that too may stop.

Volume 1: Theoretical Foundations, Core Concepts, and Emerging Challenges
Volume 2: Methods for Community Research and Action for Diverse Groups and Issues
Editors-in-Chief Meg A. Bond, Irma Serrano-García, and Christopher B. Keys
This two-volume handbook summarizes and makes sense of exciting intellectual developments in the field of community psychology. As a discipline that is considered a half-century old in the United States, community psychology has grown in the sophistication and reach of theories and research. Reviewing the chapters of the APA Handbook of Community Psychology, the reader will readily notice several themes emerge: Community psychology’s ideas are becoming increasingly elaborated; its theory, research and interventions more situated; and its reach in both thought and action, more expansive. Ideas that may have seemed much simpler when first proposed—for example, community, prevention, and empowerment—have come to pose challenges, contradictions, and opportunities initially unspecified and perhaps unimagined.
Where Your Degree Can Take You
Edited by Robert J. Sternberg
Now in its third edition, this bestselling volume has set the standard for students seeking to find an exciting career in psychology. Its comprehensive coverage spans more careers than ever, with the vast majority of chapters new to this edition. An advanced degree in psychology offers an extremely wide range of rewarding and well-compensated career opportunities. Amidst all the choices, this book will help future psychologists find their optimal career path. The chapters describe 30 exciting graduate-level careers in academia, clinical and counseling psychology, and specialized settings such as for-profit businesses, nonprofits, the military, and schools.
Edited by Kurt A. DeBord, Ann R. Fischer, Kathleen J. Bieschke, and Ruperto M. Perez
This timely volume explores the unique challenges faced by SM and TGNC clients today. Experts in the field examine how the concepts of gender and sexual orientation are both socioculturally-constructed and can be informed by biologically-focused research, thus setting the stage for flexible, affirmative mental health services. Chapters cover a range of practice-focused as well as theory-based topics, including complexity in identity, minority stress, and stigma management. With concise summaries of research findings and detailed case studies, contributors provide an intersectional understanding of how practitioners can work within rapidly-changing political and legal contexts to uncover and affirm clients’ multiple social identities, and build resilience.
by Carol A. Falender and Edward P. Shafranske
This concise text describes a trans-theoretical approach that has been the gold standard in supervisory practice for nearly two decades. The authors show readers how to identify, assess, and track the knowledge, specific skills, broad attitudes, and human values that undergird a series of professional competencies spanning the breadth of clinical practice. Case examples illuminate the supervisory give-and-take as trainees develop competence in areas such as professional values, sensitivity to individual and cultural differences, ethical and legal standards, self-care, scientific knowledge and methods, applying evidence-based practice, and more. From practicum, to internship and general practice, the competency-based approach offers clear training goals that organize and focus the supervisor’s attention where it’s needed most.

Places: Ivy Hatch, Borough Green, Folkestone, Sandwich, Romney Marsh
‘There’s nothing to be made of the land … It will grow nothing but heath and furze’
Best known for her 1848 collection of ‘real’ ghost stories The Night Side of Nature: or of Ghosts and Ghost Seers, which documented ordinary people’s ‘actual’ brushes with ghosts and the supernatural and was highly praised by Dickens, Crowe shot to public and literary fame during the 1840s and 50s. That which brought her fame however also brought her ridicule and she suffered a brief psychotic breakdown in 1854. Dickens described her 1854 as ‘a Medium and an Ass, and I don’t know what else. The other day she was discovered walking down her own street in Edinburgh, not only stark mad but stark naked too’.
Crowe lived and was educated in Kent in Borough Green during her early life and did not leave until she married at age 32 in 1822. In her declining years, after many adventures in Edinburgh, London and abroad, Crowe joined her son Willy and his family at Folkestone and passed away peacefully there.
Crowe’s unofficial biographer Geoffrey Larken traced the connections between Crowe and Kent. He says, ‘It is a well-known fact in the history of smuggling that freetraders flourished there and were especially active during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Illicit cargoes landed on the Kentish coast off Sandwich, Deal and the sands of Romney Marsh were run inland and concealed in hides or depts., which formed a ring around Ivy Hatch and Borough Green. Wrotham was in fact the last halt on the passage to London, and the area comprising Gallows Hill, Wrotham Heath and the Hurst Woods afforded excellent coverage for hides’
Crowe’s father was a wine merchant and ran a coffee house in London where his customers included Lord Byron. ‘Stevens’s Coffee House’ had a reputation for association with ‘free-traders’ (pirates or smugglers in more common parlance) and this is a theme that runs through many of Crowe’s novels, particularly in relation to Kent.
Lucy Sussex says, ‘The child Catherine was reared in rural, coastal Kent, which could have been for reasons of her health.’ However, she continues perhaps ‘John Stevens had an ulterior motive. His stock in trade was luxuries, the port and champagnes whose import was risky, given the ongoing wars between England and first Revolutionary, then Napoleonic France. If he needed reasons to visit an area well known for smuggling, or “Kentish freetrading”, then a daughter was a useful cover’.
We will of course never really know. However, the bleak and rugged Kentish countryside is prominent in Crowe’s novels. Larken states that ‘‘Incidents, locations and events from the formative years spent at Ivy Hatch and Borough Green are often reflected in Mrs. Crowe’s novels’.
The most memorable of Crowe’s villains, the piratical Littenhaus family who feature in the novel The Story of Lily Dawson (1849), occupy an Inn called ‘The Black Huntsman’, ‘Not far from the coast, in a remote and somewhat unfrequented part of one of the south-eastern counties of England’. The Littenhaus men are pirates and wreckers who operate on the coast and Larken claims that they ‘are in fact direct if imaginary descendants of the notorious Hawkhurst smugglers, who terrorised Kent during the first half of the C18th’.

Hello and welcome to Ryan’s Movie Reviews!
I recently asked on Instagram what film I should review next. From Magic Mike to Tangled, and even Kangaroo Jack, there was a wide range of responses. One was Back to the Future, the famous 1980’s time travel film. I rewatched it and fell in love with it again. I promised to review it for last weeks review, but I just had to review Final Space (check out my review for it here), so I’m bringing it to you this week.
From Steven Spielberg and Robert Zemeckis, Back to the Future is the story of Marty McFly, a classic 80s teen who’s in a band and is in a great relationship. Except, Marty is good friends with Dr Emmett Brown, a wacky scientist who invents time travel in a DeLorean using plutonium that he obtained from a trade with terrorists, but he scammed them. The terrorists soon realise that Doc scammed them and come to hunt him down. Marty escapes in Doc’s DeLorean and hits 88 miles per hour, the magic speed needed to travel through time. He winds up 30 years in the past, in 1955 and bumps into his teenage parents who haven’t even met yet. Now that Marty’s in 1955, he has caught the eye of his teenage mother. It’s up to Marty to help his parents meet, or he will change the course of history that leads to him and his siblings never being born. On top of all this, the DeLorean has broken down, so Marty must track down young Doc so he can fix the DeLorean and go back to the future. Get it?
Michael J Fox plays the role of Marty, and he did a fantastic job. For a young person when he filmed it, as well as juggling other roles, he was great. And Michael J Fox must have done a pretty damn good job playing Marty, as it is easily his most iconic character to date. This is more than evident in Back to the Future. The way that Fox plays a teenager who’s trying to wrap his head around all this sci-fi mumbo-jumbo is fantastic, and Fox brings elements of naivety and pluckiness to Marty’s character that makes the film even more enjoyable. Christopher Lloyd plays Doctor Emmett Brown, or Doc as he’s referred to for the majority of the film. He’s such an iconic character, and, like how it is for Marty, is arguably Lloyd’s most notorious role. The way that Lloyd executes his role is absolutely perfect, and I would honestly not change a thing about how Lloyd did it. He had the perfect blend of eccentricity with a hint of craziness and some good-heartedness (that’s a word, right?). The best thing about Back to the Future is the relationship between Doc and Marty. They’re easily one of the most iconic duos in the history of film. You have Marty, a kind of shy but sweet character paired up with Doc, an eccentric and wild character. It may not sound like something that goes well together, but the way that the actors play their characters is absolutely amazing. Crispin Glover played Mr George McFly, and I think he did a pretty good job as Marty’s nerdy dad. I don’t really have much to say on him, but the way that Glover made George a bit of a geeky loser was awesome. Lea Thompson played Lorraine McFly, Marty’s mother. I must say that Thompson’s character was hilarious, and it actually comes down to the acting from her. She was just the right amount of funny which was entertaining, but not so much where it ruined the film. The bully, Biff Tannen (because all 80’s movies needed some form of a bully) was played by Thomas Wilson. I honestly felt that there was no need for Biff’s character. We already had enough conflict with Marty trying to fix the DeLorean by locating young Doc in 1955 and his young mother having the hots for him, and having Biff there just seemed like something that Zemeckis wanted so that he could the pad the runtime, add a bit of humour and make Marty more of a hero. The way Wilson made Biff an unlikable character though was quite well done, but I still don’t really see Biff’s character as necessary.
The plot and storyline are really smart and awesome, but it actually does have its holes. The film is executed is impeccably, but after some thought, you do spot some plot holes. For example, Marty is set on getting his parents together at the under the sea dance, but do they have to kiss at the exact time for everything to be as it was? Surely if they just got together at some point then everything would be ok? And Marty also meets his parents in 1955. Wouldn’t they think it’s weird that their son in 1985 looks exactly like him with the same clothes and voice and everything as they would remember him from their youth? Just think about it, maybe even rewatch the film, and you’ll see exactly what I mean.
Now for my favourite moments. The opening was fantastic. It set the tone of the movie perfectly well. You have the watches and clocks for the time element, the setting of the 80’s being established immediately and some great music in ‘The Power of Love’. I love the reveal of the DeLorean time machine. Even though it’s a bit stupid, as Doc had to get in the DeLorean, drive it into the truck, then close the truck to only open it again and reverse out of the DeLorean to then surprise Marty with his invention, it’s honestly just such an amazing and iconic scene in cinema history. Then with Marty escaping in the DeLorean to 1955, it is truly an amazing scene. When Marty first meets his dad in 1955, it’s a great and incredibly well-acted scene. Then it kind of dies down a bit, with trying to fix the DeLorean, getting young Lorraine to like young George instead of Marty (her son!) and beating up Biff. I have no shame in admitting that from the under the sea dance to the end of the film, it is perfect in my opinion. You have the awesome Johnny B Goode scene, getting back to the future, ending on the best line of the film. ‘Roads? Where we’re going, we don’t need roads.’
Back to the Future is one of my all-time favourite films, and gets an 8.4/10 from me. Awesome music, amazing characters and just such a great experience, Back to the Future is incredible. I will criticise its sequels though, more so Back to the Future 3. Of all times in history to go to, the Wild West?! Imagine how amazing it would’ve been to see trying to get the DeLorean working in Ancient Rome or in medieval times. And the premise for the sequels is the same. Travel in time, fix the time machine and go back to the present day with the possibility of setting up another sequel. It’s well worth mentioning the popularity of Back to the Future. You remember back on October 21st 2015 when it was Back to the Future day? Only some films get that recognition, like Star Wars. Back to the Future is no exception, and it’s because it has helped to mould films to how they are today. It’s like Jaws. It was the first film of it’s kind to play with a new idea that had such an amazing reaction from audiences then and is still loved today. And the ripple effects of just how popular Back to the Future was and is are still evident today. You will see endless parodies and references in TV shows (like Family Guy) and movies (most notably, Ready Player One) relating to Back to the Future. Even Rick and Morty basically riffed off this sci-fi classic. which is why it’s such a great and awesome film.

Sennheiser has created what they claim is the world’s first compact and mobile binaural recording headset which they showed at the recent CES 2017 show. What makes the new Sennheiser Ambeo Smart Headset so interesting is that it is designed to capture immersive 3D audio straight into mobile devices. The binaural audio recordings created with the Sennheiser Ambeo Smart Headset placing the listener inside the soundscape and playing back the direction of sounds and natural spatial characteristics of a location.
Sennheiser And Apogee Partnership
Sennheiser has partnered with Apogee, for this product. The Sennheiser Ambeo Smart Headset has two omnidirectional microphones integrated into the earpieces that work alongside a premium A/D converter, mic preamp and SoftLimit from Apogee.
Binaural Not Ambisonics
The two microphones capture the subtle differences in timing, volume and timbre that occur as sounds from different directions reach each ear, that will also make up the binaural recording. This isn't an Ambisonics device, rather it is using the wearer's head and omnidirectional mics placed close to the wearer's own ears to create the binaural recording.
When played back on headphones, the result should be a lifelike audio experience placing the listener in the exact, original sound field, so whether you capture a rainforest or a buzzing city, listening to the binaural recording should make you feel like you are there. Dr. Andreas Sennheiser, co-CEO Sennheiser told us...
With this new headset, you can use your iOS device’s camera to record, experience and relive the same balance of three-dimensional sound and 180° visual perspective that we as human beings are accustomed to in our perception of the world. Sound is crucial to how we understand the space around us, and the Ambeo Smart Headset lets you record this sense of depth, detail and realism.
iOS Only To Start With
The Sennheiser Ambeo Smart Headset has a Lightning connector and so only supports Apple iOS devices fitted with a Lightning connector. although there are plans for an Android compatible version too.
Recording via the Ambeo Smart Headset is made simple by using standard iOS camera app, letting you record and store binaural audio along with the video. This should make the acquisition of binaural recording for virtual reality projects even easier, all you would need is the Ambeo Smart Headset and an iOS device with a Lightning connector.
A Long History Of Binaural Technology
Sennheiser and Georg Neumann have been supporting binaural recording technology since 1974 with the development of the MKE 2002 “Kopf Stereo Mikrofon” and in 1992 with the KU 100, Dummy Head. Now with the Ambeo Smart Headset Sennheiser continued the binaural developments for a new generation.
Binaural Coming Of Age With Virtual Reality
This is another development that is going to make the acquisition of binaural content for VR much easier. The Ambeo Smart Headset isn't an ambisonics capture device which then requires the B-Format audio to be manipulated into binaural, rather the Ambeo Smart Headset records natively in binaural with its two omnidirectional mics using the head and ears of the wearer.
Price And Availability
There is no information on price and availability currently.

Scientists under the leadership of Nobel laureate in chemistry 2015 Robert Grubbs created a new type of battery on the fluoride. In addition to an alternative to expensive natural resources, a new type of battery is able to extend the operation of the devices in eight times. This is great news for those who are charging your phone several times a day.
In lithium-ion batteries installed in most devices, positively charged lithium cation Li2+ are used as chemical “piston” to conduct the electrical charge through a circuit. Moreover, this chemical reaction is very dangerous to humans, not counting the ignition and explosion if the battery is damaged.
When fully charged, the cations are located in the anode of the battery and as soon as the circuit is opened, flow into the cathode. When this occurs an electric current that allows the device to work. However, from now on everything will change.
Still fluoride is not used in batteries due to the fact that when working it is heated to very high temperature of 150 degrees Celsius. Such indicators are very dangerous to humans. Researchers have found a solution to this problem — they found the solvent of the electrolyte, which allows the anions fluoride be mixed with electrons at room temperature.
When the device appears on the market and how much it may cost, the researchers did not specify. Hopefully, smartphone manufacturers will pay attention to this discovery.
Recall that Google has again decided to bury their own project. We are talking about Google Allo, which was to outshine all the messengers, and even Telegram and Viber. However, something went wrong, and the messenger ceased to generate income.
Earlier Znayu reported that the head of the company Xiaomi has confirmed that the market could soon be a fancy smartphone. It is reported that he received a whopping 48 MP camera. However, lenses will be at least three, given the specifications of the camera. In the network there were even photos, but it displays only a smartphone camera and number of pixels.
Znayu wrote that Microsoft began to develop a new version of Windows. Apparently, this is the Lite version of the OSes, so everyone will be able to install it on slower PCs. By the way, it will not just be a truncated version and full-fledged alternative, because it will create from scratch.

Gophers football coach P.J. Fleck had no interest in reliving the past with Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz when the new Big Ten colleagues sat near each other during the conference’s kickoff luncheon in Chicago last month.
Fleck says he still has nightmares of the Broncos’ nonconference game against the Hawkeyes during his first season at Western Michigan, in 2013. An occasion, he says, when “we got beat by 70.”
In fact, the score was Iowa 59, Western Michigan 3. But that somewhat smaller margin of defeat is of no consolation.
“That was a wonderful experience,” Fleck said sarcastically. “I didn’t share that with him again because that would (not) have been fun to go down memory lane for me.”
Fleck recalls a “record” number of returns allowed for touchdowns at Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City that September afternoon. While the total was four — two punt returns of 83 and 63 yards and two interception returns of 35 and 13 — those big plays contributed to Fleck starting his head coaching career with four straight losses, going 0-3 versus the Big Ten.
Adding to the lumps, Fleck suffered a 27-23 loss to Nicholls State, a Football Bowl Subdivision program, in his second game. Before that, Fleck lost his debut, 26-13, to Michigan State.
While Western Michigan went 1-11 in the disastrous first season, Fleck said it should have been 0-12 — if not for Massachusetts failing to convert a two-point conversion with 22 seconds remaining in a 31-30 Western Michigan midseason victory.
But by in his fourth season in Kalamazoo, Mich., Fleck’s Mid-American Conference team came back to beat Northwestern 22-21 in last year’s season opener in Evanston, Ill.
“All of our scars, we used to our advantage,” Fleck said.
Before the Week 4 beatdown at the hands of the Hawkeyes in 2013, Northwestern coach Pat Fitzgerald and the 17th-ranked Wildcats had beaten Fleck and Western Michigan 38-17. But that wasn’t the first time the coaches had met.
When Fleck was a first-time assistant coach at his alma mater, Northern Illinois in 2007-08, the receivers coach wanted to have lunch with Fitzgerald. Fitzgerald agreed to meet, if Fleck could fit it into a half-hour window of his schedule and be willing to drive to a small burger joint near Northwestern’s campus.
Fleck made a tires-screeching noise to describe how quickly he left Dekalb, Ill., to meet Fitzgerald.
One Fitzgerald quote stuck with Fleck: ‘I don’t believe in management. You manage machines. Leaders inspire people. I believe in leadership,’ ” Fleck recalled.
Fitzgerald immediately saw how driven Fleck was, nine years before he joined him in the Big Ten coaching ranks.
“He wanted to learn and grow and ask me questions about how I manage things as a young head football coach and how I do things on a day-to-day basis with the staff, all the way to the players, everything in between,” Fitzgerald said.
One piece of advice that stuck with Fleck was Fitzgerald saying he didn’t have to become a coordinator before moving up to head coach.
“I was all worried about what does my path have to be,” said Fleck, 36, who is the second-youngest coach in the Power Five conferences. “He goes, ‘Your path doesn’t have to be anything. Your path has to be destined to what exactly it has to be.’ ”
Fitzgerald wouldn’t let Fleck pay for the lunch in 2007, and before the luncheon in Chicago in July, Fitzgerald was quick to acknowledge Fleck’s achievements at Western Michigan.
“The great success they had at Western, and now to have the opportunity that he has at a great university like Minnesota, I couldn’t be happier for the guy and for his family,” he said. “I’m sure he’ll do a great job.”
After beating Northwestern last year, Fleck and Western Michigan blew out North Carolina Central, an FCS school, 70-21, in Week 2. Then in Week 3, Western Michigan dominated Illinois on the ground, outrushing the Illini 287 yards to 3 in a 34-10 victory.
Illinois coach Lovie Smith was in his first season back in the Big Ten after a 19-year tenure in the NFL. He hadn’t crossed paths with Fleck and said he didn’t know much about him.
“Western Michigan had a good ball club, and they played that way each week, and of course, P.J. was their leader,” said Smith, who coached the Chicago Bears and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Western Michigan continued to roll last season, racking up 13 straight wins, a MAC championship and a berth in the Cotton Bowl against Wisconsin. The No. 8 Badgers pulled ahead 24-10 early in the fourth quarter, but the No. 12 Broncos scored late to cut it to a 24-16 final.
Wisconsin coach Paul Chryst said he saw trademarks of Fleck throughout the whole team. “We got ready and played Western Michigan last year and ton of respect for what they did and how they did it,” Chryst said. “Certainly, he was a big part of that.”
When Fleck was hired at Minnesota, he saw the snarky online comments and emails about how the Gophers hired the perfect coach because he, too, hasn’t beaten Wisconsin. “I heard them all,” Fleck said.
Fleck might be new, but he knows the facts: The Gophers haven’t won Paul Bunyan’s Axe in 13 tries since 2003. That doesn’t mean he has inherit animosity toward the Badgers.
“Coach Chryst and I have gotten along great; I don’t know if people don’t like that or not,” Fleck said.
Chryst added that the Minnesota-Wisconsin rivalry is bigger than the participants. “I think the rivalry stands on its own,” he said.
Fleck is 2-7 against Big Ten teams in his first four seasons as a head coach. He will match that number of games against conference foes this season alone, beginning in late September. The Gophers will face Illinois on Oct. 21, Iowa on Oct. 28, Northwestern on Nov. 18 and Wisconsin in the finale on Nov. 25.

How to make the perfect t bone steak
How long do you need to cook a T-bone steak?
Add the oil to the hot frying pan and add the steak when it starts to steam. Lower the heat and fry the steak golden, about 4 minutes on each side. Transfer the mold to the oven. Bake until an immediately read thermometer placed sideways in the steak detects 120 degrees F in rare cases, about 6 to 8 minutes.
How to make a lean steak?
Because your T-bone steak already has tender meat, cooking quickly over dry heat (broiling or broiling) is the best way to keep it tender, according to the American Meat Science Association. The meat marinades you make at home are mainly dependent on an acidic medium, e.g. lemon juice or vinegar, to make the meat soft.
How do I make my steak crispy?
Wipe the steak with a paper towel and season both sides with a generous amount of kosher salt. Place the steak on the embers or the hot zone, turning every 45 seconds. Do this for about 5 minutes until a good base color develops, then move the steak to the cold or indirect side of the grill.
How do you make the best steak?
The perfect steak: how to make the best steak in your life. Buy from a butcher instead of a supermarket. Try the steak with the fillet. Rub with a new clove of garlic. Taste with a lot of sea salt. Just before cooking, the steak freezes for 45 minutes. Use the right fat for cooking.
Which is the best ribeye or T Bone?
A ribeye is MUCH softer and tastes better due to more marbling. Due to its natural tenderness, it does not require deep softening methods or slow, slow cooking techniques to prepare a ribeye.
Which is better T Bone or Porterhouse?
Porterhouse steaks are cut from the posterior end of the short loin and therefore include more steak along with (on the other side of the leg) a large strip of steak. T-bone steaks are cut further forward and contain a smaller portion of filet mignon.
Do Coca Cola Eat Meat?
Cola’s high acidity and caramel taste make it a surprisingly good meat milker. Soda works as a good emollient – you can get a smooth piece of meat ready for grilling in less than half an hour. Softening the glue for 24 hours makes a meat dish that almost melts like this breast from Atlanta.
Why do chefs grease beef?
This allows the steak to cook for two minutes on each side to reach medium rarely. Then he adds butter, fresh thyme and a whole clove of garlic to the frying pan. Spread the butter from the frying pan over the steak. This is called roasting, which gives moisture and flavor to the surface of the meat, says Zavala.
How do chefs make steak?
“To cook your steaks, you need to heat a frying pan – for a moderate fire for fillet, hot for t-bone or very hot for ribeye,” he says. Remember that the fatter the meat is cut, the hotter you will have in your frying pan to ensure that the fat melts and tastes like the meat during the rest of the cooking process.
Do you cook beef in butter?
Put the pan on high heat and let it stand until it is very hot. Add 1 t butter and 2 t olive oil or rapeseed oil to the frying pan and see if the butter has started to brown. Put the steak in the frying pan and lower the heat to medium, cook the first side for 4-6 minutes. Pick up the steak with tongs and quickly seal the edges.
How do I cook a round steak to make it soft?
Instructions Trimming beef; cut into two parts and flatten to 1/4 inch thickness. Fry the celery, carrots and onions in the drops for 3-4 minutes or until they are fresh and soft. Add tomatoes and Worcestershire sauce while stirring to loosen the brown pieces from the pan. Cover and bake at 325 ° for 1 hour or until the meat is tender.

Subscription has peaked at Nu 9.5B
The government raised Nu 3 billion (B) through the issuance of the sovereign bond allocated in a yield-based auction, according to the Royal Monetary Authority (RMA) notification on February 4.
The transaction was well received with more than 300 percent oversubscription and orders received at about Nu 9.5B, consisting of 15 subscribers: six financial institutions and nine individuals.
The RMA, on behalf of the government, offered the Nu 3B 10-year bond for subscription from January 21 to 31, 2022.
The annual coupon rate for the bond, as determined by the auction, was 3.49 percent. Fifteen subscribers will be paid an annual coupon (interest) rate of 3.49 percent on a half-yearly basis.
“The Ministry of Finance will pay the first coupon on August 4 this year and the second coupon on February 4, 2023, into the bank account that a bondholder has registered for receiving the payment,” stated the RMA.
The maturity date is on February 4, 2032, on which the principal amount and final interest will be paid.
The interest earned from the bonds is non-taxable for personal income tax. However, the interest income from the bond is taxable income (5 percent as tax deducted at source) for business income tax and corporate income tax-paying entities.
The sovereign bond issuance will support the government to meet fiscal financing requirements, develop capital markets, and mobilise funds for Covid-19 purposes.
This is the third time the government has offered bonds to the public. The government already raised Nu 3B in September 2020 and Nu 700 million (M) in January 2021.
The Covid-19 pandemic has required the deployment of large spending on emergency health response and relief measures for households and firms.
The government has spent Nu 2.59B (Nu 1.85B from the government and Nu 741.46M from external sources) for Covid-19 related activities, according to the State of the Nation Report, 2021.
With a total budget outlay of Nu 77.38B in FY 2021-22, the fiscal deficit was recorded at 8.60 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) at the end of December 2021, according to the Ministry of Finance.
The ministry also projected the fiscal deficit of Nu 15.59B which is 7.54 percent of GDP in the fiscal year (FY) 2022-23. The FY 2022-23 budget outlay is estimated at Nu 70.92B.
A government bond or sovereign bond is a debt obligation issued by the government to support government spending. It generally includes a commitment to pay periodic interest, called coupon payments, and to repay the face value on the maturity date.
As per Section 126 of Public Finance Act 2007, the Ministry of Finance can borrow money to finance fiscal budget deficits, to refinance maturing debt or a loan paid before the redemption date, to maintain credit balances in the bank accounts, and on-lending to state enterprise and other legal entities, on-lending to state enterprises and other legal entities, or any other purposes on approval of the Cabinet.

Review: Dance Now! I
December 18, 2011 A sure sign of success for a dance company is when the roster of dancers changes, yet the vision of the founders remains. This was clear in the Dance Now! program presented at the Little Haiti Cultural Center last Saturday. A slate of new material (all but one of the pieces were world premieres) from founders Hannah Baumgarten and Diego Salterini featured many new dancers, yet the signature of each choreographer’s style was unmistakable. There was one very familiar face, former DNE principal dancer Colleen Farnum, returning to the Dance Now! stage. Perhaps I should say familiar limbs, as Farnum’s extra-long arms and legs folded and unfurled in a rectangular white box in an elegant series of yoga poses during the first of the world premieres, “floatingflyingfalling,” set to Pink Floyd and choreographed by Baumgarten. Apart from Farnum and fellow willowy red-head Megan Hollsinger, the rest of the sextet were relative newcomers, In his second season with the company, Dariel Milan flexed his contemporary muscles with breathtaking grace, especially in the lyrical duet “Three Moments in Time” with newcomer Cristiane Silva, choreographed by Salterieni. The duo enacted the progress of a couple’s relationship from first date through tenth anniversary seemingly floating in and out of each other’s arms — and across tables and chairs — in a rare narrative break from an otherwise abstract program. Hollsinger paired with another newcomer, Justin O’Ferrall, in the harder edged pas de deux “Pulverized Habitat” where Baumgarten had the two partnering like puzzle pieces coming together then breaking apart in sharp, geometric shapes. The evening closed with two high-energy pieces for the whole ensemble, introducing company apprentice Devaughn McGann, who proved a lanky counterpart for Farnum in Baumgarten’s “Memos from the Last Millenium.” The ensemble seemed genuinely to enjoy themselves in the leaps and leans of Baumgarten and Salterini’s closing “Crossroads,” a joy that was infectious as the friendly house left the cozy Little Haiti theater smiling. Originally published in the SunPost in December 2010.

Unshaven Hair Transplant
Hair follicles are taken from the back area of the scalp through micro motors. This device allows us to extract hair without shaving. Only FUE technique is used for this method in our clinic.
There are various limitations on the implementation of both of these techniques. Particularly, there are certain criteria for suitability for this type of hair transplantation.
Depending on the condition of the patient, a maximum of 1000 – 2800 grafts can be planned for unshaven hair transplantation. If a patient has a serious sense of hair loss and therefore a hair transplant operation of 3,000 to 4,000 grafts is needed, it is not possible to plant hair without shaving.
Unshaven Hair Transplant Advantages
The hair is not shaved in any way. It is nearly impossible to tell when one has undergone unshaven hair transplantation. The donor area is completely covered with the other hair. Since very few hair follicles will be added in the operation, the healing process is much faster than other transplant methods. Unshaven Hair Transplant is best suited for people who have hair shorter than 6-7 cm and who cannot afford having day offs from work, social life etc…

The Rainbow Bridge Album is obviously not ‘new’ per se. The original vinyl version (“Jimi Hendrix Rainbow Bridge Original Motion Picture Soundtrack”) came out in 1971 and featured some of my personal all-time favorite Jimi tunes, including ‘Dolly Dagger’, ‘Hear My Train A-Comin’’, ‘Hey Baby’ and the instrumental ‘Pali Gap’.
I remember when they issued the Rainbow Bridge movie on VHS. I must have watched that tape a thousand times. Not necessarily because of the surrounding story – well, you probably know what I’m talking about: Pat Hartley’s quest for who knows what but ultimately arriving at the Rainbow Bridge Occult Meditation Center on Maui, meeting up with Jimi. Well, I guess it was some sort of entertaining at times, but I was obviously much more interested in the actual concert that was fortunately recorded and made into another testament of the trio’s greatness. The trio, of course, is Jimi Hendrix, drummer Mitch Mitchell and bassist Billy Cox.
The Rainbow Bridge Vinyl featured studio recordings of some of the tracks that were performed that breezy day in front of a live audience. So, if you, like me, acknowledge that the previous Rainbow Bridge releases were actually of fairly decent quality (given the aforementioned circumstances), you’ll get your mind blown when you get to listen for the first time to the 2014 CD elease of this masterpiece. The quality of production and sound is just ridiculous. I have no idea how they do that, but ultimately, I don’t care. I’m just very happy because it allows for much more phonetic clarity around musical nuances, which is in my opinion very important when listening to Jimi Hendrix records. Possibly more important compared to other acts which have a lesser degree of sophistication from a production perspective.
Here is the full 2014 Jimi Hendrix Rainbow Bridge CD tracklist:
1. Dolly Dagger
2. Earth Blues
3. Pali Gap
4. Room Full Of Mirrors
5. Star Sprangled Banner
6. Look Over Yonder
7. Hear My Train A Comin’
8. Hey Baby (New Rising Sun)
Yes, as a long-time fan I am admittedly biased. But I assure you that your money is well spent on this new 2014 remastered version of Jimi’s Rainbow Bridge album. Definitely something you should get your hands on. Two thumbs up from me.

Researchers from the College Clinic in Freiburg have now developed a brand new remedy technique to do away with the tumor cells: They particularly lowered the manufacturing of those anti-apoptotic proteins and thus triggered the programmed cell loss of life of the tumor cells – however thus far solely in animal experiments. They revealed their leads to the June subject of the journal Cancers.
Swap off prostate most cancers cells particularly
Scientists had already examined varied inhibitors in research that bind the anti-apoptotic proteins and may thus inactivate them. An instance are substances referred to as BH3 mimetics. Nonetheless, they didn’t present ample results. They have been both unable to dam all sorts of these anti-apoptotic proteins, or they connected themselves to different proteins so randomly and indiscriminately that undesirable uncomfortable side effects set in.
The researchers led by Prof. Philipp Wolf from the Division of Urology on the College Medical Heart Freiburg due to this fact got here up with a special therapy technique. The purpose was to fully disable the proteins and solely assault the prostate most cancers cells.
Immunotoxin – assault on prostate most cancers cells
First, they made a synthetic protein within the laboratory, a so-called Immunotoxin. It has two sections: the primary half corresponds to the fragment of a repellent (Antibodies), which is linked to the prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) docked on the floor of prostate most cancers cells. That is how the immunotoxin will get into the most cancers cell. PSMA happens in small portions on wholesome prostate cells and in giant numbers on prostate most cancers cells. The extra aggressive prostate most cancers is, the extra PSMA is current on the most cancers cells.
The scientists selected the second a part of the protein Poison, which comes from the bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This inhibits the build-up of proteins within the cells.
