AAP’s probe panel to decide if Sandeep Kumar stays in party
A day after Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal sacked Women and Child Welfare minister Sandeep Kumar from his cabinet, the Aam Aadmi Party is likely to constitute a disciplinary committee to look into the case.delhi Updated: Sep 01, 2016 11:37 IST
A day after Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal sacked women and child welfare minister Sandeep Kumar from his cabinet, the Aam Aadmi Party is likely to constitute a disciplinary committee to look into the case.
Sources said any action against Kumar on his future in the party can be taken only after the committee comes out with its findings.
PWD minister Satyendar Jain defended the party on the issue. “Is the action taken any way less. The party will eventually decide (on him),” Jain told reporters.
The party has, however, failed to take any disciplinary action like suspension against legislators, who have embarrassed the party in the past.
After chief minister Arvind Kejriwal sacked Asim Ahmed Khan from the post of environment minister over allegations of corruption, a committee was constituted to probe the matter besides recommending a CBI investigation.
Khan, however, continues to be in the party despite the former minister recently alleging that chief minister’s office conspiring to get him eliminated.
Former minister Jitender Singh Tomar, sacked after he was arrested in a forgery and fake degree case, also continues to be in the party.

An artist from Bengaluru found an innovate way to paid tribute to the Wing Commander Abhinandan for his heroic feat. He has created a black and white portrait using a typewriter.Â
The artists named AC Gurumurthy said ANI, "He is the real hero, he brought real laurels for our country, this is what inspired me."
The artwork was done on March 01, when Abhinandan has returned to India from being held captive in Pakistan via Wagah-Attari border.
The photos went viral and the social media was all praises for the initiative.
Bengaluru: Artist creates a portrait of Wing Commander Abhinandan using a manual typewriter. AC Gurumurthy, artist says, "He is the real hero, he brought real laurels for our country, this is what inspired me." #Karnataka pic.twitter.com/PFQC2E2gMuâ€” ANI (@ANI) March 21, 2019
Artist Gurumurthy typed out numbers, alphabets, symbols and special characters that are available on a regular typewriter in a fashion that the IAF pilot's picture is visible.
The portrait is complete with Abhinandanâ€™s gunslinger moustache which recently caught the fancy of thousands of people.Â
Ever since Indian Air Force Wing Commander Abhinandan was captured by Pakistani Army on February 27 and released on March 1, his courage and confidence have been celebrated with many gestures across the country.
Thousands of Indians celebrated the brave pilotâ€™s return by bursting crackers, writing poems, distributing sweets, and even naming newborns after his first name.
Last week, a chef carved the IAF pilotâ€™s face on a watermelon at the 14th Culinary Art of India event in Delhi.Â
In the thoughtful gesture, Singh, who has served PM #NarendraModi and former PM #ManmohanSingh, carved out #Abhinandan's distinct and "iconic" moustache, on the watermelon, along with "#JaiHind" in Devanagari script and a couple of army men.â€” IANS Tweets (@ians_india) March 12, 2019

Gurumurthy a former employee with Bank of Baroda is one of the first type artists in India. It took him two hours to complete the portrait using the typewriter. He has earlier made portraits of APJ Abdul Kalam, Barack Obama and other eminent personalities.


With a little more than one month left until the likely unveiling of the Samsung Galaxy Note 3, we expect to see even more frequent spec and photo leaks for the device. The most recent leaks come out of Asia, with supposed prototype photos of the Galaxy Note 3 shared on the Chinese social media website Weibo and a leaked benchmark discovered by Japanese tech blog Rbmen.
The leaked photos simply show the boxy hardware and internal components of a device, but are too poor quality to definitively reveal many details about the supposed Samsung Galaxy Note 3 prototype. The device clearly has a large screen, which falls in step with rumors suggesting either a 5.7-inch or 5-99-inch display for the Galaxy Note 3. Recent rumors have also proposed that Samsung is testing out a 5.55-inch display variant of the Galaxy Note 3.
Additionally, we have noted that if you look closely at the screen-facing photo, you can see a curvature at the left corner of the handset that could hint at the overall shape of the phone. The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is expected to have a design similar to that of the Samsung S4, which features flat sides and curved corners. But with no notes accompanying the Weibo leak, all conclusions remain speculative.
Meanwhile, the recently discovered GFX Bench benchmark hones in on a number of features already proposed for the Samsung Galaxy Note 3. Testing device models SM-N900L and SM-N00S, the benchmark reveals a 1920 x 1080 display resolution, a 2.3GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor with an Adreno 330 GPU, and Android 4.3 Jelly Bean. Samsung also appears to be testing Android 4.2 on the Galaxy Note 3 as the older operating system also is also present in the benchmark.
Recently, several model number variants have been circulating for the Samsung Galaxy Note 3, but SM-N900L appears to be new. Many propose the number could coincide with a Korean variant of the device. Previous reports have suggested that the model number SM-N00S may coincide with a U.S. Samsung Galaxy Note 3 variant for Sprint.
While the specs singled out in this benchmark are among those currently accepted for the Samsung Galaxy Note 3, recent reports have considered that Samsung may still be finalizing specs for its upcoming device. With so many conflicting rumors circulating, some wonder if Samsung is actually planning a number of variants with different features for the Galaxy Note 3, as has been proposed, or if the manufacturer has yet to decide on a specific set of features for its device. Alternative and additional specs for the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 include an Exynos 5 Octa processor, a Super AMOLED or flexible display, a 13-megapixel camera with optical image stabilization and S Pen functionality.
No reports have been confirmed by Samsung, but as August approaches, the manufacturer may begin sending out teasers itself, similarly to how it advertised the Galaxy S4 in its pre-release. Reports have suggested that the Galaxy Note 3 will go into mass production in August, and we all expect to see the device unveiled in September during the preview days of the IFA Expo.
Do you think the recently leaked photos and benchmark shed light on the Samsung Galaxy Note 3? Let us know in the comments below.

We’re awash with anniversaries and this year, an annus horribilis for the dazzling array of stars who’ve fallen from the firmament [Prince being the latest], entwines co-incidences. This day is the Ninetieth birthday of Elizabeth II and this year, the 400th anniversary of the demise of a poet who delighted Elizabeth I: there seems something astoundingly connected, neatly folded, meshed even.
When Republicans chant that a Monarchy is a constitutional anachronism which ought to be abolished, the alternatives posited seem somehow deficient in pomp, solemnity, awe-striking ability. Let’s face it: countries require a figure-head and foisting that crushing responsibility onto a normal human being, ill-prepared for devoting themselves to a life of duty, has been proven over and over as an omni-shambles.
However one feels about who is or isn’t Queenie, it is possible to ponder on the steadiness her course has charted. It links with all who came before. This anchoring provides stability. Taking for granted that seam through history tears at the fabric of who we are. And as Lear says to Gloucester “through tattered clothes great vices do appear”.

|The Patuxent web-site provides more general information about this species.|
|At this time of year, this species is rare on site.|
This southern owl species was added to the site list on the 2009 Christmas Bird Count. A single individual responded to a screech owl recording in the north west corner of the big woods. The same thing happened on the 2011 Christmas count except that this time there were two birds that responded and at least one of them was relocated several times over the next several months. Since then they have been found regularly on site, mainly in the Big Woods.

Steven Spielberg’s icky-creepy update to the Peter Pan legend stars Robin Williams as a grown-up Peter and a hammy Dustin Hoffman as Captain Hook.
Like any other kind of artist, filmmakers often struggle to come to terms with just what in the hell it is they’re doing. A life of creating fantasies (and, some might argue, of telling lies) can be a strange and unsettling one that sometimes inspires a session of cinematic self-examination. Here are a few accounts of what happens when Hollywood gazes into its own abyss.
Banksy’s “documentary”, two drunk out-of-work actors trying to survive in the country, Kevin Kline as a male escort, a Shakespearean take on vampires, the epic tale of a big green monster and a seedy look at London’s underworld make up this week’s best releases on Netflix Instant.

NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- ImClone Systems said Wednesday that the Securities and Exchange Commission has requested documents related to the scandal-plagued biotech firm's recently disclosed tax woes.
ImClone, which pledged to cooperate with the SEC, also said it will have to further delay the filing of its 10-K annual report as it continues to review its tax troubles. Late Wednesday, ImClone said Nasdaq had applied its rules on late filings and would move to delist the company. ImClone, which will have its ticker symbol changed to "IMCLE" on Friday, said it will appeal the delisting.
After earlier pledging to file its report by April 15, ImClone now plans to file the report and announce its financial results "upon completion" of its review. The company didn't say when the review would be finished, but said it will stretch beyond April 15.
Shares of ImClone IMCL edged off 11 cents to $17.57 after being halted for much of the morning.
Analysts said the news didn't significantly affect the stock price because investors are focusing on ImClone's experimental anti-cancer drug, Erbitux, not the scandal surrounding the company. ImClone and its pharmaceutical partner Bristol-Myers Squibb
"If the drug works and is approved, all this other noise is going to be forgotten," said Hemant K. Shah, an independent pharmaceutical analyst.
At the end of March, ImClone said it would restate results and delay its annual report after failing to withhold appropriate taxes related to stock options and warrants exercised by former and current employees.
The initial announcement focused on the apparent failure of former CEO Sam Waksal to pay taxes. A company can be liable for failing to withhold taxes on the exercise of options if its employees don't pay them.
Wednesday's announcement didn't mention Waksal specifically, but instead said the company is looking into the extent of its liability on options and warrants held by "current and former officers, directors and employees."
The New York-based biotech firm has been engulfed in controversy since late 2001 when the Food and Drug Administration refused to accept ImClone's application to market anti-cancer drug Erbitux.
Sam Waksal later became the central figure in a major insider-trading scandal, accused of tipping off relatives about the FDA setback so that they could unload ImClone stock before the news became public. Waksal has pleaded guilty to some of the numerous fraud charges against him and is expected to be sentenced in late May.

Turning the Soul
The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple (Psalms 19:7KJV).
The sole of one’s foot can be very rough. And why not, feet bear the brunt of our weight and often our misdirection. But without them we could not stand and fully navigate our world. Our feet show the wear and tear of life and are often the first indications of major diseases such as diabetes and arthritis.
Like your feet, your inner soul can be rough. There are few days when your soul does not endure the weight of something. Angry words, moody co-workers, and unruly children can all be rough on your soul. Its condition is vital to the way your life is turning out. Some very nasty stuff can stick to your soul and before long you get stuck in the middle of “stinking thinking”. Unable to realize the fullness of God’s abundant plan, you remain in discontent and disappointment.
The seat of your emotions, thoughts and intellect is your soul. Your soul wants to direct you but in reality it is not capable of leading you into the paths of peace and righteous living. Your soul can misguide you and lead you to heartache, which can breakdown your bodily health. Because of this it's crucial that your soul be converted, turned back to God in every area of your life.
If you want to know how healthy you are, look inward, to your soul. You may see some cruel things for often your soul is your inner critic. The Lord will restore your soul, but you must cooperate with Him as He shows you how He sees things. In Christ, you have a new way to live and move, one not driven by emotions or reasoning, but by a higher intellect, one led by the Holy Spirit. The turning of your soul to God though difficult will move you beyond your highest expectations. When your soul turns after God, goodness and mercy will follow you wherever your soles may tread.

Fantastic shot of a kingfisher wins this week’s Picture of the Week
This fantastic photograph of a kingfisher at Hen Reedbeds, Reydon, was captured by 48-year-old Richard Tomsett of Oulton Broad.
Mr Tomsett explained: “I noticed a kingfisher fishing directly in front of me from a post about 25 metres away. It was case of willing the sun to rise as quick as possible before it flew off to get the shot.
“Luckily for me the sun came up creating fantastic early morning light illuminating the scene and I got my shot.”
He added: “I concentrate on wildlife as you can’t predict what’s going to happen. It’s a bit like fishing, your can sit there for hours and nothing, then all of a sudden something appears in the camera and you might have seconds to react.
“I love the adrenaline buzz when you get a great photo.”
As our winner, Mr Tomsett receives a 12in x 10in framed version of his photo from Picture Studios, of London Road North, Lowestoft. Entries can be of any subject but they must be digital images. Email pictures to email@example.com

Kanye West‘s current string of leaks has turned flammable as an unreleased documentary has emerged comprising straight bullets at industry legends such as Nas, Pusha T and Cardi B.
The documentary was purportedly recorded in 2018 following the release of Ye, as well as the albums he produced for Nas (Nasir), Pusha (Daytona) and Teyana Taylor (K.T.S.E.).
In one scene, the Chi-city Hip-Hop magnate is glimpsed taking part in a photoshoot while on a phone call with his one-time manager, Scooter Braun. During their exchange, the ‘College Dropout’ producer became agitated as he requested to be taken off G.O.O.D. Music — the record label he established in 2004 — before sounding he regretted giving what he felt were some of his best beats to the aforesaid names.
Mr. West was particularly bitter at Nas, who he grumbled had rapped “offbeat” on “Cops Shot the Kid” and shot a music video for the tune without his knowledge.

Chapter 24: Beyond Experience
It is better not to use drugs because sometimes they can give you certain experiences, and that’s the problem. They can give certain experiences, but once you have them this way, it is very difficult to reach them naturally - without drugs - and to have an experience is not the basic thing; to grow through it is the basic thing.
You can have an experience through the drug, but you don’t grow. The experience comes to you; you don’t go to the experience. It is just like a beautiful dream. It is good, there is nothing wrong in it, but the wrong in it is that by and by you think that this is the real thing; then you miss something.
It is as if you have seen the Himalayas in a vision - beautiful as far as it goes, but it goes not very far. You remain the same. By and by if the vision becomes your reality, you are losing something because you will become addicted to it. No, it is better to go to the Himalayas. It is hard; it is a long journey. Drugs make it too short. They are almost violent; they force something premature. The experience through drugs is almost abortive. It is an abortion; they force.so it is better not to. It is better to go the long way because only through struggle you grow. An integration arises in you; you become crystallized.
That’s the real thing - experience is irrelevant. The real thing is growth. Always remember that my whole emphasis is on growth, not on experiences. Experiences can be had through many ways. You can have them through drugs; you can have them simply through shaktipat - through somebody else’s power - but that’s not good.
And to ask for experiences means you are still in the mind. The mind is always asking for more and more experiences, more new experiences; it is infatuated with experiences - and we have to go beyond the mind.
So the real spiritual dimension is not the dimension of experience. In fact there is nothing to experience. Only you - not even you, just pure consciousness with no limit, with no object to it, just pure subjectivity, just being. Not that you experience beautiful things; you are beautiful but you don’t experience beautiful things. You are tremendously beautiful but nothing happens. All around is tremendous emptiness. Spirituality has nothing to do with experiences; that’s why drugs can never be spiritual. If you understand the point then no technique is spiritual, because all techniques will give you experiences.
The pyramid too?

[en] The heat transfer characteristics of a thermosyphon designed to passively cool cylindrical heat sources are experimentally studied. The analysis is based on recognizing the physics of the flow within different regions of the thermosyphon to develop empirical heat transfer correlations. The basic system consists of three concentric cylinders, with an outer channel between the outer two cylinders, and an inner channel between the inner two cylinders. Tests were conducted. with two different process material container diameters, representing the inner cylinder, and several different power levels. The experimentally determined local and average Nu numbers for the inner channel are in good agreement with previous work for natural convection between vertical parallel plates, one uniformly heated and the other thermally insulated. The implication is that the heat transfer off of each surface is independent of the adjacent surface for sufficiently high Ra numbers. The heat transfer is independent because of limited interaction between the boundary layers at sufficiently high Ra numbers. As a result of the limited interaction, the maximum temperature within the system remained constant, or decreased slightly when the radii of the inner cylinders increased for the same amount of heat removal
[en] In this study, thermosyphon application is suggested to accomplish the fully passive safety grade system and compactness of components via enhance the heat removal performance. A two-phase evaporating thermosyphon operates when the evaporator is heated, the working fluid start boiling, the vapor that is formed moves to the condenser, where it is condensed on the walls, giving up the heat of phase change to the cooling fluid. Gravity forces cause the condensate to condensed liquid flow to the evaporator again. These processes occur continuously, which causes transfer of heat from evaporator to condenser vice versa. After the thermal design and performance evaluation, the results were compared with the performance of conventional DRACS system. For the same amount of decay heat removal performance of PDRC system of KALIMER-600 mercury thermosyphon system can archive around 30∼50% of compactness. For the detailed design, improved analytical model and experimental data for the validation will be required to specify the new DHR system
[en] In this study, the heat transfer performance of a two-phase single thermosyphon was experimentally measured and compared with respect to the aspect ratio and filling ratio. For the control experiments, we prepared three 1 m-long thermosyphons with the ratio of evaporator and condenser length by 5:5, 4:6 and 3:7. The working fluid, HFE-7100 was selected to consider the evaporator heat source temperature. The experiments were carried out with respect to the filling ratio and cooling air velocity. As a result, the highest heat transfer rate (about 1.0 kW) was obtained at the filling ratio of 40 % with the length ratio of 5:5 and the cooling air velocity of 2.0 m/s. Among the various parameters, we suggest that the filling ratio and the length ratio play a key role in the heat transfer performance. Out of the experimental data, we suggest the Kutateladze number based correlation between the heat transfer and operating parameters in the thermosyphon using HFE-7100 within the error of ±2 %.
[en] Thermosyphon solar water heaters are the best choice to be utilized in residential sector to provide the required hot water in Libya. These systems are autonomy in operation and as a result require less maintenance, and hence low operation and initial costs than active systems. In this paper, GenOpt optimization technique provided in TRNSYS simulation program is used for sizing thermosyphon systems to obtain the optimum size (namely V1/Ac ratio) of thermosyphon systems that suits Libyan families according to the weather and operating conditions of Tripoli. The typical hot water load pattern nd quantity of the Libyan families are taken from a field study conducted on a number of solar systems for a whole year. Whereas, the typical weather data are taken from five year measurements recorded at CSERS weather station. The results showed that the optimum storage tank volume to collector area ratio of thermosyphon systems is between 49-60 Lit/m'2 for the most common collector characteristics ratio (FRUL/FR(τα)=6-8) and the auxility heater set point temperature ranges from (45-60 degree centigrade).(author)
[en] Heat transfer with phase change is an important phenomenon in many industrial processes. Devices such as evaporators, reboilers, condensers and steam generators are examples where phase change through boiling or condensation occurs. For a proper and realistic design of these equipment a thorough understanding of heat transfer and fluid flow aspects of two-phase systems is required. Comparative study of verticle thermosyphon reboiler/evaporator design methods has been carried out. (author). 15 refs., 2 tabs., 6 figs
[en] Experimental studies were carried out for the new thermosyphon type of double tube evaporator. thermosyphons are utilized for transporting large quantities of heat energy. thermosyphons have been widely used in energy and different industrial applications due to their simple construction , small thermal resistance, broad operating limits and low fabrication costs. thermal analysis of thermosyphons performance is experimentally presented in the steady state operation of the closed two-phase thermosyphon of double tube evaporator. the experimental study was performed by inserting an inner pipe into the evaporator of thermosyphon. this study aims to examine the thermosyphons performance against the traditional thermosyphon and analysis of the characteristics of double tube evaporator
[en] The results of experiments with the thermosyphons inclined to horizontal line at angle of 1.5-20 deg are presented. The generalizing equations to determine some thermohydraulic characteristics of thermosyphons are suggested

[en] This paper reports on a project carried out by the Centre for Solar Energy Research and Studies (CSERS) to familiarize Libyan people with solar water heating technologies. Around 100 solar water heaters have been installed in the domestic sector and selected systems were equipped with monitoring instruments required to evaluate thermal performance. The paper presents the results of data collected over a one year period from a system installed in a family residence situated in a village located 90 km south of Tripoli (Libyan capital). The results showed that the system solar fraction was 55.8% of the average amount of daily hot water withdrawn (144 liters) at an average withdrawal temperature of 46.6 °. The total energy withdrawn during the whole year was 1557 kWl1. It is concluded that such a system is not adequate in terms of cost effectiveness for the current installed situation. It is recommended that the annual solar fraction for any solar water heating system should be over 70° in order to achieve cost—effectiveness and to help wide spread take—up of this technology.(author)
[en] The issue concerning the dynamic response of closed two-phase thermosyphon with inner tube inserted inside evaporator creating natural circulation system is getting on increasing degree of attention due to its relevance during startup. Thermosyphons transient operation for startup from ambient condition to steady state is considered a stringent necessity for vital applications such as electronic, solar, geothermal and even nuclear reactors safety systems. This typically returns to the need to keep the temperature within certain limits before reaching critical conditions. Also, a greater understanding of the thermosyphon and its transient behavior is needed.Transient thermal-hydraulic analysis of the closed two-phase water/copper thermosyphon with inner tube is theoretically and experimentally presented. The main objective of the current study is to develop a theoretical model that can predict the dynamic behavior of the double-tube evaporator by tracing various transient parameters during operation from start up to steady state condition.The model numerically describes thermosyphon of double tube evaporator (double tube thermosyphon DTT) by seven coupled sub-models. These sub-models are: heater, wall of thermosyphon, fluid in the riser hot channel inside evaporator, vapor core in adiabatic and condenser sections, liquid in the down-comer of thermosyphon, the condensate film in the condenser, and finally the cooling water of the condenser. The mathematical model is derived by applying the energy balance for each section and sub-section in addition to continuity, and momentum equations for the liquid and vapor in different sections of double tube thermosyphon (DTT). The model simulates the thermosyphon by several differential equations which are solved to predict the various parameters. A computer program is designed to solve these differential equations by an explicit finite difference method. To validate the predicted theoretical model results, an experimental investigation has been conducted. An experimental setup is constructed from: thermosyphon main tube of 42 mm inner diameter, 4 mm thickness and 1950 mm long. The evaporator and condenser section lengths are 1100 mm and 400 mm respectively, while the adiabatic section is 450 mm long. An inner tube made of poly propylene is installed inside the evaporator. The inner tube has outer diameter of 34 mm with thickness 3.5 mm and 1100 mm length. This structure forms a hot channel with 4 mm annular gap width, where the natural flowing liquid circulated between inner and outer tubes. The heat source is simulated by 4 electrical coils while the heat sink is directly performed by a cooling process at condenser section, using cooling water of 0.0456 kg /s.
[en] An experimental study is presented for the heat transfer performance of a rectangular, two-phase, natural-circulation loop with water-steam as the working fluid. Local temperature measurements of the core fluid and the wall were made, and the overall heat transfer coefficients of the evaporator, the condenser, and the loop system were obtained and correlated in terms of the fluid properties, heat flux conditions, and the liquid charge level. An overheat phenomenon at very low charge level was also observed. Result of a preliminary analysis shows that if the liquid charge level is below the fractional volume of the connecting tube between the condenser and the evaporator, an overheat phenomenon will occur

The importance of light quality
For a commercial grower even a small difference in plant growth performance can have significant impact on profit. Since plant growth is driven by light, it is important to provide the right lighting for your production. Before LED commercial grow lights became available and competitive on the market, the possibilities were limited, as the grower could only decide for supplemental light intensity and not light quality (i.e. spectrum: color or wavelength distribution of the artificial light). LED technology changed everything. There is no such thing as a ”standard LED” since horticultural LEDs come in different colours and can be used in multiple combinations, varying in spectra characteristics and the amount of photons commonly within blue, green, red, and far-red (FR) wavebands.
What is the best light spectrum to grow plants?
Over the past decades, researchers at various universities, agtech companies and horticultural lighting suppliers have tried to understand how plants capture and use light and how they respond to different color composition, i.e. spectral quality of light. The work has not completed, but we have learned that plants grow best in the light similar to natural sunlight. Seems obvious, right? But the details are not trivial.
At first, many scientists believed that using only red and blue light could increase the efficacy of photosynthesis. The green pigments, chlorophyll, primarily used by plants to capture light, have peaks of absorption in the red and blue regions (i.e. they capture mostly blue and red photons). But we are not growing chlorophyll, neither single leaves. Therefore, it is of essence to understand how whole plants, often with complicated structures, capture light.
Some LED grow lights are only using a combination of blue and red LEDs. This type of light source usually has the highest photon efficacy, meaning the lights convert electric energy to a larger number of photons. These LEDs are also efficient for driving plant photosynthesis, but mainly on top leaves. Because red and blue light is absorbed so efficiently, almost all available photons are used at the top of the canopy. Plants grown under blue and red light are often very compact and light does not penetrate deeper into the canopy. The lower leaves will, in such condition, not receive enough light and can start to die. Therefore, this type of narrow spectrum grow light can be useful for certain applications. It does not, however, provide a good lighting environment to support natural development of larger plants.
Full spectrum grow lights are luminaires which emit light containing photons from the entire spectral region, which is used by plants (i.e. at least 350-750nm). The term “full spectrum” is often mis-communicated by horticulture light producers, and many full spectrum grow lights available in the market emit light covering only photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) while omitting UV and short blue wavelengths. And they often contain only a small amount of far-red. Therefore, they can be more correctly termed as broad spectrum lights.
Any well-balanced broad or full spectrum lights will do their job, growing healthy plants, for a full cycle providing that adequate light intensity (PFD and/or DLI) is assured. However, for best results and yield, the spectrum composition should be carefully chosen by the grower for a specific crop, growth environment and application.
Balanced broad or full spectrum is perceived by humans as white light. Therefore, using such lights in a production facility makes plants look natural and allows visual detection of leaf discoloration, diseases, or pests. It can create a work-friendly environment, but we need to look at light spectrum from the plants’ perspective first.
How light spectrum affects plants
Spectral quality usually does not have a significant direct effect on plant photosynthesis but will impact the plant morphology i.e. plants’ shape. Plant shape is of visual and commercial importance (e.g. when plants are sold in pots). Moreover, the plant’s leaf size, compact or loose arrangement, and the overall area or footprint affects how much light is captured by the plant and how much light is available inside the canopy. These factors can, in turn, affect growth rate and yield. Furthermore, quality of light influences biomass and how a plant will distribute sugars to build its stems, leaves, flowers, and fruit.
It is important to understand that different colors of light do not work independently, but in synergy. Plants generally do not perceive the percentages of photons of a given color in the light, but the ratios of different colors. Plants have several receptors which sense different wavelengths and react accordingly. These receptors are activated by one set of wavebands and deactivated by others.
It is a dynamic process, and a plant grown in balanced light has both activated and disactivated forms, in a ratio depending on spectral composition of the grow light. For example, phytochromes are a group of receptors sensitive to far-red (FR).
Far-red light is mostly responsible for extension growth of plant stems, petioles, and, in some species, leaves. It affects branching and flower production. Even though FR is not counted as a part of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), far-red (up to 750 nm) drives photosynthesis almost as efficiently as white light, when it is used together with white light background. Providing adequate ratios of red to far-red photons for plant production can impact plant size, shape, flowering, biomass, as well as seed and fruit quality.
Red light is very efficient in driving photosynthesis. The presence of red light in a grow light spectrum balances effect of far-red as well as blue light. High proportions of red light often stimulate biomass allocation to stems.
Blue light counteracts plant leaf and stem elongation as well as stimulates production of photoprotective pigments. Plants grown with large proportions of blue light are short, compact and have relatively thick, small, and dark leaves. Blue light stimulates plant branching and may affect flower initiation and flowering. So, depending on the crop and your cultivation goals, a high proportion of blue photons in a grow light spectrum might be either desired or unwanted.
Green light in a spectrum of a LED growth light usually comes from the output of white LEDs because of the low efficacy of green LED diodes.
Leveraging UV-A and Its Impact on Plant Development
Including green light in grow light spectrum is useful not only for human vision to see plants correctly, but also promotes photosynthesis. More importantly, due to the low absorption rate of green light at the surface of the leaf, green photons, unlike red and blue photons, penetrate deeper in leaf structure and deeper into the canopy, driving photosynthesis there. Plants use 70% to 95% of green light depending on the plant species and growth stage.
Green light works opposite to blue light, stimulating increases in leaf size and influencing leaf position. Consequently, plants which are less compact can capture light form a larger area. Presence of green light can have positive effect on light penetration into the plant canopy, can increase the total amount of photons captured and stimulate yield.
Ultraviolet (UV) has shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies then light visible to humans. It is largely harmful for living organisms, but it also has biological importance. For example, it is used in the synthesis of vitamin D in human skin. Insects can see UV and therefore they are attracted to patterns on flowers not visible to humans.
UV-A is the longest waveband and to plants and humans, a least harmful waveband in the UV wavelength range. UV-A light can be used to control plant diseases and stimulate production of some biochemical compounds contributing to plant taste and aroma. Some growers use supplemental UV bulbs and some LED grow lights contain UV-A in their spectral output. However, there is a downside. The quantum efficacy of UV LEDs is low due to high energy of UV photons. Also, having UV in a spectral composition of a grow light requires special components for optics and optical covers that will not deteriorate and have high UV transmittance.
Although longer wavelengths of UV-A are photosynthetically active, plants exposed to UV light produce protective pigments, which work as sunscreen, and other biochemical compounds protecting them from excess energy. Consequently, UV light can stimulate plants coloration and biochemical properties, but biomass production and yield of plants exposed to UV is usually lower when compared to plants grown without UV.
So, does an optimal grow light exist?
There is more to understanding LED grow lights, spectra quality and light output and the effects on crop growth performance. Modern LED lighting solutions offer more efficient and high-quality crop production. The optimal grow light should be one that is developed to fit your indoor or greenhouse growing environment, geographical location and first and foremost to your specific crop and cultivation requirements, plant varieties and production cycles. To achieve best results, select a grow light solution that supports the energy needs of your plants while ensuring your desired crop characteristics and outcomes. It is always recommended to consult a specialist to help you match light quality with your cultivation requirements and goals.

According to the researchers, duckweed plants can extract nitrogen and phosphate pollutants from agricultural and municipal wastewater. They can reduce algae growth, coliform bacterial counts and mosquito larvae on ponds, while concentrating heavy metals, capturing or degrading toxic chemicals, and encourage the growth of other aquatic animals such as frogs and fowl. These plants produce biomass faster than any other flowering plant, serve as high-protein feed for domestic animals and show clear potential as an alternative for biofuel production.

WASHINGTON, November 12, 2009 - While the economy is slowly turning itself around, small and disadvantaged businesses face problems gaining capital, according to panelists speaking at the Federal Communications Commission national broadband plan workshop on November 12.
Small disadvantaged businesses are businesses that are at least 51 percent owned or controlled by an individual or a group of individuals who are deemed as economically or socially disadvantaged. They are deemed disadvantaged by the Small Business Administration.
Businesses with this status struggle to gain any form of capital, and that does not give these businesses a foothold to hang on to in troubled times. However, such businesses may be eligible for grants and loans.
Within the $7.2 billion devoted to broadband stimulus funding, “Additional consideration is given for small and disadvantaged businesses,” said Maureen Lewis, director of Minority Telecommunications Development Program at the Commerce Department’s National Telecommunications and Information Administration, which is administering the program.
However, while small disadvantage businesses might receive a different level of consideration when it comes to the funding provided by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, they don’t also get a break in the private sector.
“Funding doesn’t always have to come out of the Universal Fund,” said S. Jennel Trigg, member of the Lerman Senter.
Validation, history, and an understanding of what form of capital a business is seeking are key factors that venture capitalist look at before investing in a small disadvantaged business.
According to Thomas Reed, director of the Office of the Communications Business Opportunities, FCC, the presentation of the companies needs to be set strong, “putting their best foot forward.”
For Opportunity Capital Partnerships, the understanding of capital has to be seen in every aspect of the company.
“We want companies who hold a dominate market position,” said Anita Stephens Graham of Opportunity Capital.
Being a “volatile industry and looking for credit,” holding a dominant position in the market has become a challenge.
According to Dwight Bush, managing partner of D.L. Bush and Associates, having a good business plan is not enough to make a company appealing to investors. They must have a history of keeping up with the plan.

The worst areas in the UK for affordable food access
The study by consumer group Which? included a range of factors when looking at access to healthy affordable food. These included income levels, the presence of large supermarkets nearby, the availability of online shopping deliveries and circumstances which can make it difficult to shop around (like no car access).
It found that the North East of England was the worst impacted, with almost half (45%) of local areas in need of extra support. Which? said that this was due to a tendency to have poor access to deliveries, a poorer than average proximity to supermarkets, and an increased reliance on food support like food banks and free school meals.
Around a third of local areas in Yorkshire and the Humber, the West Midlands, and the North West were found to be in need of extra help in the study.
Worst area for affordable food access
Digging into individual areas, Birmingham Hodge Hill was considered the worst, with 100% of its local areas in need of additional support. Which? found that it had poor online delivery access, high levels of fuel poverty and significant numbers with a low income or no car access.
It was followed by Knowsley in Merseyside, with 96% of its local areas in need of support. Which? found that it had half the number of large supermarkets compared to the national average, which may make it harder for residents to find affordable food.
According to the analysis, around seven in 10 UK parliamentary constituencies have at least one area in need of urgent help accessing affordable food.
Supermarkets must do more
The study comes on the same day that Kantar has reported food price inflation has hit a new record high, with little sign that the top has been reached.
Which? called on supermarkets to do more to support customers through the crisis, by making prices easy to understand, ensuring that budget lines which include healthy choices are available throughout stores and online, and by targeting promotions in areas which are most likely to be struggling.
Previous research has suggested that food price worries have led to people skipping meals entirely.
Michelle Morris, associate professor of nutrition and lifestyle analytics at the University of Leeds ‒ which collaborated with Which? on the study ‒ said: “With so many people in the UK already suffering from food insecurity and the cost of living crisis making that much worse, we need to do all that we can to support those most in need to access affordable, healthy and sustainable foods.
She added that a ‘one size fits all’ approach will not work, with tailored help required in order to assist the neighbourhoods that need support the most.

With vocals both unsettling and sublime, Rykarda Parasol beckons us to share her place overlooking the whistling, barren Texan plains at dusk in her promising debut release. Comparisons to PJ Harvey and Nick Cave are commonplace and inevitable, though Parasol lends a distinctly delicate quality to her weighty, blues-inspired compositions both lyrically and vocally. “Lullaby for Blacktail” and “How Does a Woman Fall?” showcase Parasol’s mastery of combining whisky-tinged masculine vocals with those more distant, soothing and feminine. A highlight is the haunting “Hannah Leah”, which serves as a creepy introduction to the album with swooning instrumentals as accompaniment. Perhaps the clearest example of Parasol’s penchant for the blues, and certainly the sultriest vocals, can be found in the Langston Hughes-inspired “Lonesome Place”, which chugs by as a ghost-train in the desert. If no other song induces chills, this will.

…as judiciary budget hits N120bn in 2022
The Federal Government, on Monday, said improvement in the remuneration and conditions of service of judicial officers would remain uppermost on the agenda of the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.).
The Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN), according to a statement by his Special Assistant (Media and Public Relations), Dr. Umar Gwandu, made the commitment in his address at the 2022 Court of Appeal Annual Legal year.
He said, “I wish to recall that one of the cardinal issues raised by the President of the Court of Appeal in Her Lordship’s address last year was the issue of the welfare of our meticulous and committed judicial officers.
“The government of the day is not oblivious of this persistent challenge. Amidst our revenue challenges as a nation, coupled with various demands for wage increase, one certain assurance I can make to this noble gathering is that the improvement of the remuneration and conditions of service of our judicial officers is uppermost on the agenda of President Muhammadu Buhari.”
The minister said the ongoing process of improving the welfare package of the judicial officers would be completed in accordance with extant constitutional and statutory provisions.
Malami said the available appropriation figures also bore testament to the fact of a progressively upward review of annual budgetary appropriation to the judiciary under President Buhari.
The AGF said while the budget of the Judiciary declined from N95 billion in 2010 to N68 billion in 2014, there was an upward swing in 2015 from N73 billion to N120 billion in 2022 (being the highest in the history of the judiciary).
He said the government also made special budgetary provision to cater for special assignments associated with national elections.
“The Federal Government under the leadership of President Buhari will not rest on its oars in its quest for increased funding for the judiciary,” he said.
Malami commended the foresight of His Lordship, the President of the Court of Appeal in taking proactive steps towards an effective discharge of the onerous constitutional mandate over the outcome of elections.
He said these notable steps included engagement with relevant stakeholders, especially with the advent of the 2022 Electoral Act.
“I am also gladdened that His Lordship has inaugurated a 13-man Electoral Judicial Manual Committee that will see to the issuance of the Maiden Edition of the Electoral Judicial Manual, which will provide an operational framework and reference guide for the determination of election petitions,” the AGF said.
The manual, he said, was expected to guide both the bar and the bench, with an added benefit of mitigating the problems associated with conflicting decisions.

"Busted Plug," a sculpture created by Blue Sky.
Columbia, SC (WLTX) - A famous piece of Downtown Columbia is on the move.
"Busted Plug," a sculpture created by South Carolina artist Blue Sky, will be leaving its location on Taylor Street, after its owners sold it to the city of Columbia.
The artwork has been at its current location since 2001. People driving by certainly notice it--Busted Plug is almost 40 feet high.
There's no word yet on where the sculpture could go.

Repayment of input tax: What is the due date for payment
Businesses will often agree to allow customers a certain period of time before payment is due, for example 30 or 60 days from the date of invoice. Where time for payment is allowed, input tax is not required to be repaid until 6 months after the time allowed. As well as straightforward arrangements such as those described, there might be a series of payment dates. In the construction and other industries there may be stage payments due at a certain stage of a particular project.
When supplies of goods are made together with supplies of finance, there will often be a series of payments - for instance when the sale is by way of a hire purchase or conditional sale agreement. Such agreements may include provisions that if the customer defaults on the agreement the later payments are brought forward to the time of the default. In that situation the entitlement to relief and requirement to repay input tax would be based upon the accelerated payment dates.
Suppliers may choose not to escalate action against a customer by repossessing goods or taking legal action and instead may give the customer longer than originally envisaged to make payments. This is seen as debt management activity and would not alter the time at which a business is required to repay input tax.

Up and Out!


Cars have always been the fastest means of transport from a specific starting point to the desired destination. The humans have witnessed the commendable alterations done to the car, depending on the demands, and the environment in which it needs to be operated. Driving a car has always been a very laborious task regards to traffic, and long distance traveling. Very few individuals enjoy such a driving experience.
For safe driving experience, good skills are required, but as everyone will be occupied with their daily work schedule and lack time to complete their daily work; tend to avoid it, so that they reach their workplaces on time. The daily task may include; breakfast, a cup of coffee, Presentation preparation, etc. Such ignorance may hamper health. The automobile field came up with a solution, and that was the concept of Driverless cars.
The cars are therefore controlled without a human. The machine takes over the entire execution of driving the car. Many sensors mounted on the vehicle, which will be able to detect an obstacle ahead, lane maneuvering techniques, blind spots, traffic ahead, lane discipline, GPS for navigation, satellite information. The car must have a master control system to analyze and execute the necessary tasks after taking the inputs from the sensors. The driver-less car is highly intelligent, highly tested for all possible ideal conditions, and are determined to be safe.
Advantages of unmanned vehicle
1. The employees working regular jobs, and unable to prepare for work on time can easily have their breakfast, arrange for office work, while the car is in autopilot mode.
2. Increase the safety level of the driver by providing extra information to avoid potential accidents.
3. The fuel consumption will be relatively lesser when compared to a usual automobile.
4. The drunk drivers, and the drivers who drive at night will also be alarmed, and reduction in traffic collisions
5. It is calculated that a lot of time is spent by each regarding commuting from place to place. The smart car will reduce the time spent in traveling.
6. Real-time data from the digital maps will help to determine the most logical, time effective route to the destination.
7. The self-parking feature will eliminate the time required by the driver to park the car. The feature also reduces parking space between adjacent automobile. The command to retrieve the vehicle from the parking lot can be sent via an APP provided by the car manufacturer.
8. When the required brake force is not applied by the driver, additional hydraulic pressure which is automatic braking will help in efficient braking of the vehicle.
9. The control of the car is not entirely handed over to the machine. The driver at all times has one hundred percent control of the four-wheeler. The driver at any instant of time can take over the driving.
Disadvantages of unmanned vehicle
1. Which areas features come, high cost. The cars are reckoned to be very expensive.
2. Many drivers will lose their employment.
3. If any slight miscalculation by the sensor occurs, there can be possible mishaps.
4. Cybercriminals can easily hack into the system.
